The Dagger
Virginia holds Harvard to a record-tying one first-half field goalJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger8 hrs ago
When Kentucky walled off the paint with its array of towering big men and held UCLA to an embarrassing seven first-half points Saturday afternoon, it seemed like the Wildcats had delivered an early favorite for the best defensive half of the season.
Less than 24 hours later, sixth-ranked Virginia provided competition
The Cavaliers' 76-27 victory over Harvard on Sunday afternoon was every bit as dominant as Kentucky's rout of the Bruins the previous day. Last year's ACC champions squeezed the life out of the Crimson early, opening leads of 30-4 after 15 minutes, 39-8 at halftime and 45-9 a few minutes into the second half.
The lopsided score showed what happens when a pack-line defense at the top of its game runs across a mid-major that lacks the elite athleticism needed to attack off the dribble and the outside shooters to bomb from behind the arc. Virginia stayed compact defensively and Harvard could do nothing to force the Cavs to extend, hitting just 1 of 20 shots in the first half and 8 of 50 for the game.
Robert Upshaw's long journey from bust to budding stardomJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger2 days ago
Basketball coach Pat Geil has removed many players from practice for lackluster effort or shoddy performance.
Only once has he yanked a kid off the court for doing too well .
When Robert Upshaw enrolled at San Joaquin Memorial High School four years ago, the highly touted 6-foot-11 junior initially could only practice with his new team because of California transfer rules. Geil put Upshaw on the scout team in practice until the center's knack for swatting away shots in the paint created an unusual problem.
"He was blocking so many shots and making it so difficult to score that our starting big guys began losing confidence," Geil said. "When they got in games, they were hesitant to shoot. Eventually, we had to tell Rob, 'Why don't you sit out for a while.' Our big guys couldn't get up any shots against him in practice and it was killing us."
UConn needs more from heralded transfer Rodney PurvisJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger2 days ago
Each time Kevin Ollie answered a question about NC State transfer Rodney Purvis during last season's national title run, the UConn coach referred to the former McDonald's All-American as "a Ferrari sitting in the garage that I can't drive."
The Ferrari finally emerged from the garage this November, but so far Ollie hasn't gotten enough mileage out of it.
In the six games Purvis has played so far this season, he is scoring a modest 7.2 points per game, shooting only 35.1 percent from the field and averaging more turnovers than assists. He also was suspended for UConn's season opener against Bryant and sat out against Texas as a result of a lingering sprained ankle that was hampering his ability to attack the rim.
Purvis was healthy for UConn's 66-56 loss to Duke on Thursday night, but the sophomore wing still wasn't very effective. On a night when the Huskies desperately needed other scorers to emerge in support of star guard Ryan Boatright, Purvis played 30 minutes but sank only 4 of 11 shots and finished with eight points and three turnovers.
Branden Dawson will miss at least two games with fractured wristJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger3 days ago
Considering the pain Branden Dawson appeared to be in after his hard fall Wednesday night against Eastern Michigan, the diagnosis doesn't seem as dire as it could have been.
Tests revealed the Michigan State senior suffered a stable, non-displaced fracture to his left wrist, the school announced Thursday night. He will miss at least the Spartans' next two games against Texas Southern and the Citadel but could return in time for Michigan State's Big Ten opener against Maryland on Dec. 30.
"I feel bad for Branden, as he's been practicing so well over the last few weeks," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in a school-released statement. "But we also feel a bit fortunate when you look at the video from the game; it certainly could have been worse."
Dawson suffered the injury when he fell hard to the floor attempting a tip dunk and braced the impact to his tailbone with his left wrist. He stood up wincing and shaking his wrist before retreating to the locker room where trainers wrapped the injury in ice.
Lauren Hill will fight cancer from the bench as an honorary coachJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger3 days ago
Lauren Hill's playing career is complete as a result of her deteriorating health, but the cancer-stricken Mount St. Joseph University freshman still isn't ready to leave basketball behind.
She will remain part of the Mount St. Joseph team as an honorary coach, head coach Dan Benjamin wrote in an email to various media outlets.
Hill has been as an inspiration to many nationwide because of her courage after receiving a dire diagnosis. Doctors discovered an inoperable tumor growing at the base of Hill's brain stem last year and told her she wouldn't live through December, yet she has refused to give up on her dream of playing college basketball.
The Report Card: Cincinnati secures much-needed marquee winJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger3 days ago
DATE: Wednesday, Dec. 17
A- — Cincinnati
Cincinnati's 71-62 overtime victory over 19th-ranked San Diego State was as big for the American Athletic Conference as it was for the Bearcats. The American collectively was 0-9 against Top 25 teams and did not have a single team receiving votes in the latest polls.
Of course, the Bearcats (7-2) also needed a notable win after losses to Nebraska and Ole Miss in two of their past three games. Cincinnati won on Wednesday by forcing 18 turnovers with its aggressive 2-1-2 full-court press, by limiting cold-shooting San Diego State to 39.3 percent shooting and by getting timely offense down the stretch from guards Farad Cobb and Troy Caupain.
San Diego State pulled off a last-minute rally in regulation to force overtime behind key threes from Trey Kell and Aqeel Quinn. The Aztecs didn't have a second comeback in them for overtime.
A- — Old Dominion
In its star-studded backcourt, Sun Belt favorite Georgia State features NBA prospect R.J. Hunter, Kentucky transfer Ryan Harrow and Louisville transfer Kevin Ware. Somehow, however, the Panthers didn't have the best guard on the floor when they faced Old Dominion on Wednesday night.
Branden Dawson injures his left wrist in Michigan State's winJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger3 days ago
An otherwise satisfying victory turned scary for Michigan State midway through the second half when the Spartans' most important player fell hard to the floor attempting a tip dunk and braced the impact to his tailbone with his left wrist.
Branden Dawson stood up wincing and shaking his wrist before retreating to the locker room where trainers wrapped the injury in ice. He watched the final nine minutes of Michigan State's 66-46 rout of Eastern Michigan from the Spartans bench.
The initial diagnosis for Dawson's wrist is a bad sprain, but the senior forward will undergo further tests on Thursday to assess whether there is any more damage. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo told reporters in East Lansing that an initial X-Ray came back negative but Dawson "is going to miss some time here, there's no doubt about that."
"I saw the tape and it wasn't pretty," Izzo added. "But he's tough as nails, maybe he'll bounce back."
Dayton dismisses its only two scholarship big menJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger4 days ago
Dayton's basketball team became a lot smaller Wednesday. So did the Flyers' NCAA tournament chances as a result.
Starting center Devon Scott and top backup Jalen Robinson have been dismissed from school, Dayton announced Wednesday afternoon. The school did not specify what led to the punishment, but CBSSports.com reported that Scott and Robinson were caught stealing various items from on-campus dorms.
Scott, a 6-foot-9 junior, started every game so far this season for Dayton and averaged 9.1 points and 7.4 rebounds. Robinson, also a 6-9 junior, averaged 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds off the bench. Without them, Dayton has no scholarship players taller than 6-foot-6 in their rotation, leaving the Flyers at a massive size disadvantage against almost every upcoming opponent on the schedule.LivePhiladelphia1 - 3WinnipegFollow Game
The Report Card: Luke Fischer shines in Marquette debutJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger4 days ago
DATE: Tuesday, Dec. 16
A — Luke Fischer
Indiana fans were surely cringing watching Luke Fischer's debut for Marquette. The skilled big man the Hoosiers lack is the one who transferred last December because he couldn't get much playing time behind Noah Vonleh.
Fischer made a terrific first impression at Marquette, posting 19 points, nine rebounds and five blocks to spark the Golden Eagles to a 78-71 victory over Arizona State on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-11 big man was most effective on the block, welcome news for a team that has relied almost exclusively on its perimeter weapons this season after losing Davante Gardner and Chris Otule to graduation last spring.
Marquette's victory improved it to 5-4 this season with only one loss against an unranked opponent. The Golden Eagles still have a long, long way to go to work themselves back into NCAA tournament contention, but they're certainly a much more dangerous team if Fischer can perform like he did Tuesday night with any consistency.
B — Wichita State
Wichita State unleashes late surge to thwart Alabama's upset bidJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger4 days ago
If Alabama falls a quality win shy of making the NCAA tournament this March, the Tide will surely think back to the game they let slip away at Wichita State on Tuesday night.
They had the 11th-ranked Shockers all but beaten only to cough up an 11-point lead in the final five minutes and lose 53-52.
Wichita State's 13-1 surge started when it went to a full-court press to speed up the tempo and disrupt Alabama's offensive rhythm. The Tide missed four shots and committed four turnovers during the final 5:20, scoring their only point on a Levi Randolph free throw with 33 seconds to play.
Alabama's defense had been smothering enough that it seemed possible 51 points might be enough, but Wichita State finally generated some offense against the long, athletic Tide. Driving layups by Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker and a pair of floaters from Rashard Kelly fueled the Shockers' rally, paving the way for a dramatic finish.

The International Committee organizes activities to meet the needs of international partners and their families. It serves as a resource for information and assistance for international partners. The International Committee's primary goals are to:
Throughout the year, there are a great number of volunteer opportunities in Charlottesville. Since the majority of international partners hold a visa that does not allow them to work in the United States, these volunteering activities have traditionally been very interesting ways to keep up your professional skills while helping the community. If you want further information, you can contact the Community Service Chair, please refer to this webpage to get familiar with the 2012 - 2013 Leadership Team.
Please keep in mind that not all unpaid work is considered volunteer work. If you have any questions about your visa status and whether it allows you to take up a certain activity, please contact the International Students Office.
There are several academic opportunities at UVA. If you are interested in studying full time at this great University, you should look into UVA's website and find out about application processes and specific requirements for your field of study. Note that the application process may take several months, so make sure you check early. To study full time in the United States you will need a student visa which will have different requirements than the more common F2. If you hold an F2 visa you will not be allowed to study full time while you are staying in the United States. However, you may choose to take non-credit courses. UVA, for example, offers a good number of non-credit courses. For more information, please refer to the School of Continuing and Professional Studies
You can buy a car through a dealer or from an individual. The local newspaper lists advertisements for cars for sale by individuals http://www.dailyprogress.com. The DPA website has a classifieds group where you might find graduate students selling their cars. The University also provides University Transportation Service (public transportation) on and off campus. It is convenient, since it is hard to park in some areas of the University.
Refer to the housing information on the DPA website. Review the terms of the rental contract carefully, since they might differ from your home country's practices. As for furniture, the Classifieds group on the DPA webpage may have some postings of graduate students selling their furniture.
In the United States, the ID card and driver's license are the official personal identification documents. Please visit the DMV website for details. To obtain a driver's license it is necessary to pass two tests — one written and one practical. The written test is based on the Virginia Driver's Manual, which you can find here.
Even if you don't plan on having your driver's tests right away, we suggest that you read this manual to familiarize yourself with the traffic regulations in Virginia. Having a United States driver's license or ID card may simplify some processes in your day-to-day life. For further information ask for help from Marsh Pattie, Director of Student Affairs or visit the International Students Office webpage.
Medical care is very expensive, so it is vital that families purchase individual insurance plans if they will not have them through an employer. Full-time students are required by the University to enroll in an insurance plan. Many options are available: school-sponsored insurance (provided by UVA and Darden through a variety of insurance companies) or coverage provided by international student associations in the United States. Carefully review the fees and coverage of the contract.

Today, the area is known as Pamukkale, meaning "Cotton Castle". It is named for the limestone-laden hot springs that cascade from one white-edged terrace pool to the next. Sardis, another of the Seven Churches of Revelation, was berated by John the Prophet for its facade of strength when, in reality, it was weak (Rev. 3:1-6). In Sardis, coins were minted and the dyeing of wool originated. The massive scale of the Temple of Artemis and by the white marble Royal Road, the gymnasium and the synagogue will impress you. Continue on to Smyrna, modern day Izmir for dinner and overnight. (B,D)

CD-ROM playerAlso called a CD-ROM drive, a device that can read information from a CD-ROM. CD-ROM players can be either internal, in which case they fit in a bay, or external, in which case they generally connect to the computer's SCSI interface or parallel port. Parallel CD-ROM players are easier to install, but they have several disadvantages: They're somewhat more expensive than internal players, they use up the parallel port which means that you can't use that port for another device such as a printer, and the parallel port itself may not be fast enough to handle all the data pouring through it.
There are a number of features that distinguish CD-ROM players, the most important of which is probably their speed. CD-ROM players are generally classified as single-speed or some multiple of single-speed. For example, a 4X player access data at four times the speed of a single-speed player (also see Understanding CD Burner Speeds in the Did You Know . . . ? section of Webopedia). Within these groups, however, there is some variation. Also, you need to be aware of whether the CD-ROM uses the CLV or CAV technology. The reported speeds of players that use CAV are generally not accurate because they refer only to the access speed for outer tracks. Inner tracks are accessed more slowly.
Two more precise measurements are the drive's access time and data transfer rate. The access time measures how long, on average, it takes the drive to access a particular piece of information. The data transfer rate measures how much data can be read and sent to the computer in a second.
Finally, you should consider how the player connects to your computer. Many CD-ROMs connect via a SCSI bus. If your computer doesn't already contain such an interface, you will need to install one. Other CD-ROMs connect to an IDE or Enhanced IDE interface, which is the one used by the hard disk drive; still others use a proprietary interface.

Tourism in Namibia
Namibia's tourism is becoming an increasingly important contributor to the nation's economy. Not only are foreign visitors an important source of foreign-exchange, but the tourism sector already employs 22% of Namibia's workers. The government and the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) have recognized the potential of tourism for this sparsely populated country and are investing in Namibia as a top tourist destination. Quality control, sustainably and eco friendliness are high priorities for a country whose draw cards are a diverse wildlife and unspoilt, remote destinations of natural beauty. Tourism is set to benefit the conservation of pristine wilderness area and the people of Namibia.
Eco and Community-Based Tourism
Traveling in Namibia is about experiencing the outdoors. Namibia provides accommodation and camping in some of the most beautiful and untouched areas of Africa. The even better news is that many of these facilities are community run. Campsites with comfortable and eco-conscious facilities make it a pleasure to be outdoors. The night sky and the sound of the wild complete an uplifting experience. Tours and living museums add an educational and cultural aspect to the community based offerings and all the proceeds directly benefit the people of Namibia instead of private enterprises.
Its unspoilt environment is one of Namibia's greatest assets. To make sure that Namibia's riches are preserved for future generations the eco awards Namibia programme awards establishments who work by eco-friendly and sustainable principles. Look out for the yellow Desert Flower emblems; the rating ranges from one to five flowers.
National Parks
Namibia's conservation areas are the biggest tourist attraction of the country. Whether it is the lions and black rhinos at Etosha National Park or the dunes of Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft Park; Namibia's tourism thrives on its wildlife and scenic beauty. The country has already protected 16.7% of Namibia's total land area with 23 government parks and reserves and there are more exciting projects on the way. When the Sperrgebiet, the Namib-Naukluft Park, the Dorob National Park and the Skeleton Coast National Park merge into the Namib Skeleton Coast National Park, this huge conservation area will protect the entire 1 570 km of Namibia's coastline. The conservation areas in the northeast of the country are now legally joined into the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA). The park will cover 444 000 km² which is roughly the size of Sweden and include parts of Namiba, Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Bwabwata National Park, Mudumu National Park, Mamili National Park, Khaudum National Park and other conservancies in Namibia are now joined into the Peace Park.
Adventure and Extreme Sports
Extreme conditions attract extreme travellers. With its abundant sunlight, off the beaten track destinations and diverse fauna and flora Namibia is becoming increasingly appealing to adventure and specialist travellers. Namibia has some of the most challenging running and mountain biking races in the world. Untouched mountain landscapes and towering dunes attract 4×4 enthusiasts, hikers love the Naukluft Mountains, the desolate Skeleton Coast and the Fish River Canyon and the curious rock formations and cave provide many challenges for ambitious rock climbers. Those who want to try something new can go sandboarding, quad biking or sky diving, while birders and anglers will find true hot spots for their hobbies respectively. Namibia offer many challenges for the adventurous soul and the unique landscape makes any adventure in this beautiful country a once in a lifetime experience.

Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum spoke to a group of college students (probably law students, since he keeps addressing one of them as just "Lawyer," as in, "Let me talk, Lawyer." Cool guy, this Rick Santorum guy) and during the question and answer session he goes on an aggressive and shout-y defense of his anti-homosexual beliefs as they were taught to him by the catholic church. OK. I mean, no. But sure. He seems particularly upset that anyone would call him a bigot, which is exactly what a bigot would say! Haha. I'm not sure how well that holds up as a logical argument, but also Rick Santorum IS a bigot, so I don't even know what he's so upset about. Anyway, he gets into a debate with one of the students ("Lawyer") about whether or not children can grow up happily in a home with two gay parents. He argues that they can't because of 2,000 years of catholic-backed hatred. She argues that you can because of numerous social science studies that have proven that you can. And that is when Rick Santorum fails to rest his case.
Oh brother. How sad is Pennsylvania that this guy isn't their senator anymore? The saddest? Look, we don't actually need to get into how gross and wrong homophobia is because AH-NO-DOY, and we also don't really need to worry too much about people like Rick Santorum because they're just shitty assholes for real, and no amount of yelling at them in some airless classroom just off the stacks in the undergrad library on the west quad is going to change their opinion. And you know what, I will even go a step further and say that I kind of understand Rick Santorum's point that many organizations are established simply to reinforce their pre-conceived notions and make them seem more official and legitimate. He knows this because politicians do shit like this all the time. I'm not entirely convinced that this is the case with the American Psychological Association, but even setting that aside for a moment, the part where his whole argument just falls straight to hell is that even if everything he was saying is true, that the American Medical Association is just some nefarious clan of "so-called" doctors (which, also, what is THAT all about? That some doctors shouldn't be there? Eek. You definitely don't sound like a weird, angry bigot, you weird, angry bigot!) his counter-argument IS JUST AS UNSUBSTANTIATED. Even if you feel that the science is incorrect, you can't just counter it with "I THINK I READ IT IN THE BIBLE ONE TIME" as a more sound position to take. At the very best they are now EQUALLY terrible arguments (they're not, but we're playing Santorum's Advocate here) and that means that both sides would have to at least acknowledge that they didn't have enough information to feel entirely confident in their own position and that they would have to at least leave open the possibility that the other side was the correct one until they had gotten more verification (from God Herself?). Just nonsense.
In closing, Rick Santorum is a crap. I rest my case. (Via TheDailyWhat.)

Rick Santorum's justifications for all his beliefs are 1) Because money; 2) Because the Pope. He is a very stupid person who is probably still mad that ladies don't have to wear hats in church.
Never has "You Might Also Like" been a less apt heading for a group of videos.
Also, psychologists aren't psychiatrists. The failure of everyone involved in this video to recognize that distinction bothers me more than it should.

I've done by best to get away from hockey for the last couple of weeks. It's August, and hockey should only last from October to April in a perfect world—we're conditioned in Canada to think about it year round and it's hard to escape. The off-season is hit with deadlines, free agent signings, and often the low-profile ones are the most interesting to me. Scott Gomez upped with Florida last week which is interesting, Alex Pietrangelo is unsigned, and there's still the matter of where Mikhail Grabovski and Brad Boyes will sign. There's a lot surrounding hockey that has little to do with the actual playing of the sport in the months of the year when there's actually snow on the ground.
(Although I'm from Vancouver, so I'm unaccustomed to seeing snow on the ground during hockey season. You don't have to shovel rain.)
What I have been doing, on and off, is sitting around listening to music and have been reading some writing from Nassim Taleb. His job description is somewhat ambiguous, but his Wikipedia entry calls him an "essayist, scholar and statistician". He has an interesting focus in random events, or "Black Swans", that are essentially things you can't accurately predict or forecast yet have a huge impact on our daily lives.
It's interesting to apply non-hockey thought to hockey, since there are so many people within hockey who have been doing it their whole lives, concentrating on training camps in September, the season between October and May, the draft in June, free agency in July and predictions and preparations in August. Last August I went to two scrimmages at Hockey Canada's Ivan Hlinka U-18 camp and noted a good community of bloggers, journalists and, mostly, scouts, sharing notes and walking around in team-emblazoned windbreakers. Is there ever time off in this sport?
Consider Taleb's work surrounding the "Black Swan". In the book, curiously titled Black Swan, such an event has defining characteristics: it's improbability, it carries a large impact on our lives, and we retrofit analysis to make such an event appear predictable.
Hockey seems full of these events.
Just think about when a goal is scored. Any standard hockey game carries somewhere between 60 and 65 shots on goal and 25 and 30 scoring chances. Yet only five or six of those shots or scoring chances wind up as goals. During replays, an analyst will point to a bad change, or poor positioning, or something that happens multiple times in any other shift, yet on this one occasion, had the unfortunate result of resulting in a goal against.
Consider this one goal:
What a great pass by Thomas Vanek… you talk about his goal-scoring prowess but he can make plays as well. The Sabres are feeding off the five-on-three, that goes into the five-on-four, they just want to keep the pressure in the offensive zone and as Ference is knocking Vanek down, he still has the vision and the presence of mind to find a wide-open Ennis on the opposite side of the net, and once again Rask just can't get across in time.
I vaguely remember watching the game, but I couldn't have told you until Brickley's analysis just now that I remember the Sabres coming off of a five-on-three or a five-on-four situation. That's the explanation that we're given for the Sabres' continued pressure in the zone, but I'd suggest that there's very little evidence to suggest that when teams score five-on-three goals, they continue applying pressure for more than :90 seconds after the fact.
It's tough to blame any particular Bruin on that play. Nobody seems in good position but that could just be sheer fatigue. On some goals there's a player on the team that was scored on that makes some grave error, one repeated maybe a dozen times by various players throughout the game but only noticed on an instance where it pops up as being evidenced in a replay on a goal against.
(The notable thing about this goal is that it marked the only time Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron were scored on together on the ice in over 283 minutes of 5-on-5 play in the 2013 regular season.)
I've been a little curious as to "analysis by replay" and have had thoughts in the past to record which scoring chances for and against I tracked were shown again on replays. A goal or a not, a bad outlet pass that results in a two-on-one against is a bad outlet pass that results on a two-on-one against, and the more fans get to see a particular player's mistakes, the more likely they are to be convinced that the defenceman is mistake-prone.
Which is interesting when analyzing defence. A good defensive play can't be quantified. In the end, a player is preventing a shot or a scoring chance against, but how can you tell by replay what did or didn't happen? Rob Vollman in his Hockey Abstract for 2013 (available here) tries to explore the difficult ways we can quantify good defensive play. It's tough when you count things, because ultimately a good defensive play results in the absence of counting things. A defenceman that plays 20 minutes and handles the puck more is going to make far more defensive errors than a defenceman that plays 12 minutes the night and rarely handles the puck.
There's one way to take the Black Swan theory as applied to hockey, but I think it can be used to look at seasons as a whole. One of the things that struck me this offseason is that even knowing how much randomness dictates a 48-game season, a seemingly high number of teams fired their coaches. Going through the list, you get John Tortorella, Alain Vigneault, Ralph Krueger, Joe Sacco and Glen Gulutzan all gone after the season, with Guy Boucher and Lindy Ruff axed midway through their respective seasons. Seven coaching buckets kicked seems odd considering 48 games is nowhere near enough to judge the quality of a team, but this is a results-oriented business, and displeasure with results can turn people blind to process.
Gauging results over a short timespan can be disastrous. The NHL regular season lasted 100 days (it was scheduled to last 99, but an event that nobody could have forecasted, among other things, forced a game to be played on August 28). On January 13th of the 2011-2012 season, 100 days in, Toronto held a playoff spot but not Pittsburgh. Minnesota held a playoff spot but not Phoenix. We know that, as we completed the season, that Pittsburgh and Phoenix landed playoff spots (and the Coyotes managed to even get to the Conference Finals) but had the season been as long as the shortened season, while most of the playoff teams had been decided two had slipped through the cracks for one reason or another.
In response to criticism over their shot totals and differentials, the Maple Leafs coaching staff has concocted an explanation about "quality possessions" that retrofits their analysis of the 2013 season. Imagine if Ron Wilson's Leafs had made the playoffs after 48 games in 2012, the stories about redemption and coming through when it really mattered, that could have been written about those teams. Wilson just picked the wrong year to coach a bad team that had a poor start, unfortunately, and he lost his job and hasn't really been seen anywhere since he was fired.
The beauty of hockey lies in its randomness, that marvellous things happen that we have no way of expecting. It's the sort of pleasure you derive from the game when you actually watch it, and something you're attempting to match when you're catching up on junior camps throughout the summer because you miss the distinctive smell of hockey sweat mixed with artificial ice. But those hours of hanging around rinks aren't going to make you any better at understanding the game. Non-hockey concepts can have value in hockey, and it's worthwhile to occasionally step away from the sport, and rather than focusing on a specific random event, learn to modify our expectations for the improbable and unlikely by determining what's random and what's talent. That goes not only for hockey, but also life.
Speaking of which, I was pulled aside for "additional random screening" when boarding a flight yesterday. The only way to protect yourself against having to step into the affectionally-named "cancer machines"—that probably have not saved a single life since their installation—is probably to not fly altogether. In that sense, it's a random event you can plan for.

Corral Drive-In
2300 N. Ash Avenue,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 5 comments
Approx. address for the drive-in was 2300 North Ash Ave. Freeway ramps run through most where the theatre stood.
The only movie I ever saw there was the 1967 "The Taming of the Shrew" with Taylor/Burton. It was an 'okay' drive-in, but because it was on the far northeast side of town, it took forever to get there! That was before the Loop was finished.

By the dawn of the 1980s, Jamaican music was undergoing a transformation, as a new generation of music producers began changing the sound of Reggae, introducing new techniques and approaches to the art of music making.
Spearheading this sea change during what would become known as the Dancehall era, were two of the island's most respected musicians who had learned their trade performing on countless sessions for the cream of Kingston's producers: Sly Dunbar (drums) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass).
Following the launch of their Taxi imprint in 1979, Jamaica's so-called 'Riddim Twins' quickly became established as the island's most innovative and successful producers, issuing a series of hugely popular 45s, spurring Chris Blackwell to promptly sign them to his Island concern.
By way of introducing their music to the world at large, Island issued 'Sly & Robbie Present Taxi' in 1981, with the album swiftly topping the Reggae Album listings.
Now, at long last, this seminal collection, featuring some of Reggae biggest acts of the Dancehall era, is finally made available on CD as part of Spectrum's 'Originals' range.

Pats blister ACAC field with record round
FORT WAYNE – Records were abound Saturday during the Allen County Athletic Conference boys' golf tournament at Brookwood Golf Course, and it took a toll on all but two teams in the eight-team field.
Heritage finished with two golfers under par and won the tournament with a record team score of 298. The Patriots beat the old mark of 300 set by Carroll High School in 1985 when the tournament was held at Eel River.
Leo came within three strokes of equaling the old team score record with its 303 – a score that would win the tournament most years – and finished second to Heritage. South Adams edged Garrett in a tight battle for third place, finishing with a 328 (just two st...

Barack Obama, the US president-elect, has announced his nominations for three key intelligence positions in his new administration.
Obama unveiled the choices of Leon Panetta, a former White House chief of staff, as head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and retired admiral Dennis Blair as his Director of National Intelligence in Washington on Friday.
The US president-elect described Panetta and Blair as "uniquely qualified" to address the intelligence challenges that will face the incoming administration.
Obama stressed his choices signal his administration's intention to abide by the international agreements such as the Geneva Conventions, saying, "To be truly secure we must adhere to our values as vigilantly as we protect our safety, with no exceptions."
Obama also picked John Brennan, a 25-year CIA veteran as his counter-terrorism coordinator for the White House National Security Council.
Support despite concerns
If confirmed by the senate, Panetta, 70, a former congressman who served as White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, the former US president, but who has no direct intelligence experience, would take over from Michael Hayden, the current CIA chief.
US media reported on Monday that Panetta is considered to have substantial foreign policy experience, having served in the White House and on the Iraq Study Group, the bi-partisan panel that examined the Iraq war and US policy.
Panetta was also director of the Office of Management and Budget and is currently director of the Panetta Institute for Public Policy at California State University.
A former commander of US forces in the Pacific from 1999 to 2002, Blair, 61, will be only the third Director of National Intelligence - a post created in 2004 after investigations into US intelligence services condemned the agencies for failing to share information that could have prevented the September 11 attacks on the US.
Blair, whose appointment must be confirmed by the US senate, is likely to face questions concerning the Indonesian military's 1999 killing of 200,000 East Timorese civilians that occurred during his time as head of US Pacific Command.
The East Timor and Indonesia Action Network, a human rights group, expressed concern this week over Blair's nomination.
Obama's top intelligence adviser during the campaign, Brennan withdrew from consideration for head of CIA in November amid criticism for his ties to Bush administration intelligence policies.
Formerly the interim director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Brennan had been criticised for his connections to CIA prisoner treatment policies.
Obama's nomination of Panetta and Blair comes four days after their names were revealed by Democratic sources.

Indoor Running: Treadmill Training
4 Treadmill Workouts That Are Actually Fun
Running in place doesn't have to be a snooze. Fitness experts offer a few workouts that will take your routine off autopilot
TV Workout
The television on your treadmill can be used for more than a distraction to pass the time. It can also help structure your workout. If you're watching a half-hour show, the program should last about 22 minutes, with 8 minutes of commercials. "You could run hard for 22 minutes and take breaks during commercials," says Pierce. "A lot of folks will also use music this way by running to the beat of music. They'll go hard for one song and then slow down for the next."

'Telepod' is a fully-3D virtual person projection system
The reason 3D sucks is that it's usually not 3D. It's 2D, plus a token smidge of depth. True 3D is something that you can walk entirely around and seamlessly view from all sides, which is what you'll find in this life-sized telepod that can project an entire person straight into your living room.
Developed by a group of hard-working Canadians at the Human Media Lab at Queen's University in, you know, Canada, the telepod is a cylindrical display system capable of projecting an entire person inside itself in three glorious dimensions. This means that you can walk around the outside of the telepod, and it'll seem like you're walking around a person inside it at the same time. Watch:
The clever amongst you are probably going "hey, but how can I see someone's back with just those six Kinect sensors up there!" It's a good question, and it turns out that there are four additional Kinect sensors placed around the room that the Telepod is in to provide side and back views, making for 10 sensors total. From what I can tell, though, the image projected into the Telepod is only based on the perspective of the end user, meaning that only one person can view the telepod at a time: anyone else will see the same projection, whatever angle they might be looking from.
Having said that, it is pretty cool that you can walk completely around the person that you're talking to, just like they're standing right there, albeit inside a tube. It needs a little refinement before we're quite at the level of the Star Wars holographic systems (widely accepted as the standard for interactive real-time 3D communications), but this is one more virtual step in the right direction.

Product Description
Rocky Bleier Autographed 'Notre Dame vs. Army' Photograph
No one expected it from looking at him in his youth, but Rocky Bleier went on to emerge as one of the best running backs of his era. Bleier's is a story of will, courage, and talent winning out over all obstacles. After a standout career at Notre Dame, Bleier was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and an even more powerful team, the U.S. Army. Bleier promptly went to serve in Vietnam. An ambush left him severely wounded in the left thigh and right leg and people wondered if a career in football was still within his grasp. It was. Bleier worked his way back and joined the Steelers, where he helped lead them to four Super Bowl titles.

3. I am grateful for the time with my children, getting to know their friends and their friends' parents.
4. I am grateful that I'm not afraid to ask for help and be turned down, because not everyone will turn me down. I just have to get through enough No's.

The depressing state of the NFL today
The off-season can usually be divided into three sections. Free agency before the draft, the draft, and then the dead period after the draft leading up to the opening of training camp.
Well that was until 2011. For the past three months, NFL locations around the country have become ghost towns in terms of player attendance as the lockout took effect. For around 24 hours, they returned to some kind of normality until the NFL found a judge to agree with them instead of the one who sided with the NFLPA.
And that has been the sum story of the last three months. We said that. They said this. We want that. Thet don't want to give it to us. They lied. No they lied. GIVE IT A BREAK!
The latest court ruling went totally in favour of the owners leading many pundits including Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports to recommend the players do whatever kind of deal they can to avoid the kind of complete humiliation they suffered in 1982 and 1987.
Opinion was split on
Around the Horn
this week over whether training camps and pre-season will take place as normal. But the key deadline for British fans is of course August 1st. If no settlement on a new CBA has been reached by that date, the Wembley game between the Bears and Buccaneers automatically reverts to a Tampa location.
Right now the only stories are of a few players throwing a ball around in a local park, free agents wondering where they will play their football in 2011, and recently drafted players wondering what they have walked into. At least they have a team. Anyone not drafted cannot even talk to an NFL team about potential employment.
The next negotiations are due in early June. They might as well be August. I really cannot see this being settled in any shape or form until teams and players start missing actual practice time, playing games and more importantly, game cheques and ticket and television revenue payments. Then something will happen.
So do I foresee a game at Wembley on October 23rd? Unfortunately not. You have to keep hoping but right now the outlook is as bleak as a Buccaneer website editor trying to fill a story every day alongside his obligatory countdowns.
You've been great, enjoy Grandmaster Flash.

A nanny died after she used a vibrator while watching pornography that brought on a heart attack an inquest in England heard yesterday.
Nichola Paginton, 30, probably died due to her state of sexual excitement, a pathologist testified.
Miss Paginton's employer, Mrs Sarah Griffiths, found her lying under her duvet with a laptop on her chest.
When she moved it and lifted the duvet, she found the nanny was naked from the waist down and there was a vibrator in her bed.
The laptop was still displaying pornographic material.

BMW maintains sales lead over Audi, Mercedes-Benz
Posted Oct 10th 2012 8:00AM
In the battle for luxury car dominance, BMW has managed to hold on to its place at the top of the pile, for now. Global sales rose 14.3 per cent last month, to 146,843 units, on strong sales in China and global sales of the 1 Series small car (pictured). That brings BMW's sales through nine months up 8.6 per cent, to 1.11 million vehicles.
Meanwhile Audi global sales increased by 12.8 per cent, continuing to close in on BMW with 1.10 million vehicles sold through three quarters. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz sales rose two per cent to 964,926.
Audi's impressive sales rally was not enough to overcome BMW's Chinese sales, which jumped 59.4 percent to 29,631 vehicles. BMW also benefited from strong sales of the 1 Series, which increased 51.1 per cent to 25,583 units worldwide.
China has become the German automaker's largest singular market, with the United States in second. US sales of BMW's rose 3.5 per cent to 26,660. Also, despite the German automobile market contracting 11 percent, BMW sales rose 9.3 percent on its home turf, to 26,021.
According to BMW brand sales chief Ian Robertson, "We expect to see further growth in worldwide sales in the fourth quarter." BMW Group sales, including Mini and Rolls-Royce, grew 11.6 per cent last month to 177,716. Through nine months, global sales increased 8.3 percent to 1.33 million vehicles sold. As Audi continues to remain in BMW's rear view mirror, these final months of the year will be crucial for both automakers in the battle for the top premium brand.
