Knoxville, Tenn.--(UTSports) University of Tennessee Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart announced today that the contract of Director of Track and Field/Cross Country J.J. Clark will not be renewed for next year.
"We have made the decision not to renew Coach J.J. Clark's contract that expires at the end of June," said Hart. "On behalf of everyone associated with our track and field program, I want to thank J.J. for his tireless efforts to move our program forward.
"We will begin a search for the next head coach of our track and field program with the goal of competing at a high level within the SEC and nationally. There is no definitive timetable associated with this search process."
The 2013-14 season was Clark's fifth at the helm of the combined Tennessee program and also his 12th overall at UT. Clark originally joined Tennessee in 2002 as the head coach of the women's track and field and cross country teams, assuming the reins of the combined program before the 2009-10 campaign.
"I want to thank the University of Tennessee and the administrative staff for many great experiences over the last 12 years," said Clark. "It was rewarding to see those student-athletes graduate and win NCAA and SEC championships."

NASA and Bigelow Aerospace Announce BEAM Agreement
Click the image to learn more.
At a press conference held at Bigelow Aerospace's North Las Vegas facility on January 16, 2013, NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver and Bigelow Aerospace President and Founder Robert T. Bigelow announced an agreement to place the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module onto the International Space Station.
EIAST and Bigelow Aerospace sign agreement
Congratulations SpaceX!
On behalf of myself and all of us at Bigelow Aerospace, we would like to congratulate our friends at SpaceX on the unprecedented success of the Falcon 9's second launch and the inaugural flight of the Dragon capsule. Such early success with a rocket as affordable as the Falcon 9 represents an extraordinary accomplishment, and is a testament to the ingenuity and robust capability of the commercial space industry. Moreover, we applaud the demonstration of the Dragon capsule, an achievement that has the potential to substantially reduce America's human spaceflight gap. Again, we wish to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Elon Musk and his entire team. - Robert T. Bigelow
New Space Race Reported at New York Times (NYTimes.com)
"Mr. Bigelow has spent about $180 million of his own money so far and has said he is willing to spend up to $320 million more. An expansion of the factory will double the amount of floor space as the company begins the transition from research and development to production.
"You have to trust a little bit that we're making these investments because we think it's going to make sense economically at the end of the day," Mr. Bigelow said. "

"A good player who loses at chess is genuinely convinced that he has lost because of a mistake, and he looks for this mistake in the beginning of his game, but forgets that there were also mistakes at every step in the course of the game, that none of his moves are perfect. The mistake he pays attention to is conspicuous only because his opponent took advantage of it. How much more complex is the game of war, which takes place in certain conditions of time and where no single will is guiding lifeless mechanisms, but everything is the result of numberless collisions of various wills?"

Analgesics for Osteoarthritis—An Update
Comparative Adverse Effects of Oral Agents: CV Effects
Celecoxib was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) adverse effects (CV death, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, or thromboembolic events) relative to placebo in systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials. One additional CV event occurred for about every 270 patients treated for 1 year with celecoxib when compared with placebo. Systematic reviews found no clear difference between celecoxib and the nonselective NSAIDs ibuprofen or diclofenac in risk of CV events.
Strength of evidence: Moderate
The nonselective NSAIDs ibuprofen and diclofenac, but not naproxen, were associated with an increased risk of heart attack relative to placebo. In two systematic reviews that included indirect analysis of randomized trials, naproxen was the only nonselective NSAID associated with neutral CV risk relative to placebo (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.67 to 1.3 and RR 1.2, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.9, respectively).
Strength of evidence: Moderate
All NSAIDs had deleterious effects on blood pressure, edema, and kidney function. There were no consistent clinically relevant differences between celecoxib, partially selective NSAIDs, and nonselective NSAIDs in the risk of hypertension, heart failure, or impaired kidney function.
Strength of evidence: Moderate
Keywords: comparative adverse effects | outcomes | strength of evidence | NSAIDs | CV risk

A spacious, aesthetically-constructed stall by France, the guest of honour country, greets bibliophiles as they step into the pavilion at the ongoing New Delhi World Book Fair at Pragati Maidan here. Apart from displaying colourful books on diverse subjects, the stall offers French cuisine, besides information on higher studies at French institutes. France is seeking to popularise its literature and French authors are speaking about their work as part of the "Bonjour India" festival.
According to Paris-based Elizabeth, "French books relate to works read and discussed in the host country. Indian readers are inquisitive about French books. They are hungry for knowledge and curious to explore different cultures. As they are genuinely interested in going through books dealing with art, culture and cuisine, our stall caters to their diverse taste."
Study abroad
Campus France representative Aparna Bhalla says so far three dozen Indian students have enquired about French universities offering courses like political science, international relations and MBA. "We tell Indian students that studying in these institutes not only makes them knowledgeable about world affairs but also exposes them to a different culture. They also get a chance to master French. Moreover, universities allow them to stay in France for six months after completion of their course. During this period they can search for jobs. In the U.K., universities offer foreign students only two months and in the U.S. students are given only three months to search for employment."
Another attraction is Saudi Arabia's stall, where a large collection of books predominantly in Arabic are displayed. English ones dealing with Islamic and Arabic literature have been printed by two universities in Riyadh and Makkah.
"The idea is to make available Arabic literature to those aspiring to become research scholars. Books are catering to students pursuing Masters and Ph.D. Copies of Quran in more than four dozen languages, including English, Tamil, Malyalam and Kashmiri, are available. Those interested in them are told to contact our Embassy," says Hishan.
Australian Greg Taylor is a representative of The Choicemaker from Korea. "We have participated in the Frankfurt Book Fair, Beijing International Book Fair and visited Asia and Europe scouting for genuine publishers. As India's economy is growing at a fast pace, we decided to participate in this year's book fair."
For kids too
Colourful books from pre to elementary school are on display too, for publishers interested in translating them into regional languages. "Publishing these books costs more than it does in China and India. International illustrators have done interesting visual representations in these books. We may make them available to the public on the last day."

FA to probe racial abuse of Shrewsbury players
Shrewsbury have revealed that the police and Football Association are to investigate allegations of racial abuse towards two of their players during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Hartlepool.
Marvin Morgan, who scored both Shrews goals, and Jermaine Grandison were allegedly subjected to racial comments by a section of the home support in the first half at Victoria Park.
A statement released by Town read: "Shrewsbury Town FC can confirm that Graham Turner and players Marvin Morgan, Jermaine Grandison and captain Matt Richards were called into the referee's room where discussions took place at half-time on Saturday regarding racial comments directed at the players.
"We understand the referee (Carl Boyeson) included the conversations in his match report to the Football League.
"The matter is now subject to a police and FA investigation and no further statements will be made."
An FA spokesman said: "We are aware of it and we are making enquiries."
Hartlepool have since released a statement condemning alleged comments should they prove to be true and have pledged to assist in the FA's investigation.
It read: "Hartlepool United are aware of alleged racial abuse aimed at Shrewsbury Town players Jermaine Grandison and Marvin Morgan during the first half of Saturday's game at Victoria Park and have been asked by the FA to provide any further information we have concerning the incident.
"The club will do everything possible to help with any external investigation and we are currently carrying out our own internal investigation.
"The club would like to remind supporters that racism in any form will not be tolerated at The Vic, as the club have shown in its ongoing involvement in the Kick It Out campaigns.
"If any supporters do hear any abuse towards individuals of any nature the club requests that you to advise your nearest steward so that appropriate action can be taken.
"The club has no further comment at this stage."

I'm 15 weeks today (already!). Had two scans so far at 9 and 14 weeks and all is well at the mo. Didn't get any morning sickness thank goodness. Just starting to get a wee bump now. The only real difference is that from 12 weeks onwards breastfeeding has become really sore. It's like having a newborn again! I don't think my little one is hardly getting anything any more and I think if I didn't offer it she'd easily wean, but I was hoping to make it to 2 years at least. DD is nearly 21 months now and DH thinks I should quit :-( but when I ask my DD if she wants some mama milk she has such a big smile on her face and gets so excited I can't just give that up!

"Good... but worth the price?"
This is by all means a premium cigar, however I was expecting JUST a little bit more. My love for Fuente blends and Cameroon wrappers may have lifted my expectations past unreasonable, however I don't think that was the case in this instance. I enjoyed it, but I think I payed a too much for the Fuente name. If you are a fan of these, I recommend also trying the La Aurora Preferidos line - specifically the #1. They also come with a hefty price tag, but you'll notice the difference in quality.Tim H in Pittsburgh, PA March 13, 2013
"My very favorite"
I smoke many, many different brands of cigars but the Don Carlos line for the money is my absolute favorite.Steve in California April 23, 2012
"My absolute favorite"
I can not say one thing bad about this cigar. It is flavorable, burns perfect, and is good from the begining to the end! bought a few extra for a rainy day. hope it rains soon!Chris in NJ March 17, 2011
"Great Dominican Cigar"
The Don Carlos Belicoso compares favorably with my favorite smoke, the Cuban Montecristo #2. The Don Carlos benefits more from humidor aging than any cigar I have ever tried. The cigar goes from just mediocre to superb with four to six weeks proper aging. It's not as good as the Montecristo, but close.Emanuel Lekas in CA October 14, 2006
"Brilliant Cigar!"
Incredible smoke! Everything about it is wonderful. Treat yourself - Hey you deserve these. Thanks Famous.Allen Sirken in Texas October 13, 2006
"Outstanding, flavorful, mild, nearly perfect cigar"
Wonderful pre-light aroma. Matte, oily, medium brown wrapper. Clean clip, even light, immediate wonderful, but mild flavor and secondary aroma. Very rich, dry, leathery, slightly sweet smooth flavor. Perfect construction, smooth even draw, excellent tapered torpedo shape. Long, straight ash. The flavor becomes stronger and wetter, fuller but still not harsh. Smoked to label, removed label and smoked till fingers got hot. A nubber! Fantastic cigar. An excellent finish, with a mild, pleasant lingering aftertaste.Overworked01 in CA August 8, 2006
Yet another wonderful smoke from A.Fuente. A consistently sweet and complex smoke that I've yet to be disappointed in. It's only downfall was that it's smaller than the No.2, and hence, less pleasure! I envy you if you haven't tried a Don Carlos yet, they truly are a great smoke.PB in Boston June 14, 2005
"Understated elegance!"
This is what sophistication is all about. The first draw on this cigar tantalizes with spicy nut-like flavors, so smooth that you don't realize how full and strong it is until you're entranced. An elegant, semi-sweet finish, and savory aftertaste. It continues to deliver until you've had enough. Perfectly balanced. Not a single harsh note to spoil the meditation.shrink in Bishop, CA September 15, 2004
"Most disappointing quality-cigar purchase!"
My smoking experience with the Arthuro Fuente Don Carlos was the most regrettable cigar purchase and experience that I have had to date. Not a single cigar from the box of 25 burned consistently. They burned up one side or the other. The tobacco body and roll was bulky and lumpy with hard segments of the cigar not burning at all. There was a modest consistency in the taste, but it is not the superior tasting cigar that one would anticipate in a cigar of its price. The appearance and draw were adequate. Overall construction of the cigar was shoddy. I surmised that I would experience a paragon of cigar enjoyment but sadly, no!Richard Hevron in Bellevue, WA March 20, 2002

An Exclusive Look at the All England Lawn Tennis Club's Social Strategy for Wimbledon
Wimbledon is the longest running and most prestigious of the four major tennis championships. In addition to its huge yearly television audience and the fans willing to wait weeks outside for tickets, the Wimbledon Twitter account boasts 1.2 million followers and its Facebook page, 2.4 million likes. With tennis on everyone's minds midway through the U.S. Open, Lost Remote gained exclusive access to data from the All England Lawn Tennis Club's (AELTC) partnership with Grabyo - a cloud-based, real-time video solution provider that helps broadcasters monetize clips – this past June and July.
The AELTC installed video feeds on its three main courts, each of which was integrated with Grabyo Studio. Grabyo created a Wimbledon-branded video gallery on Wimbledon.com and ensured that the AELTC was set up to share real-time video across social, web, and mobiles apps. "The ease with which Grabyo Studio allowed us to create social videos as part of our content offering and distribute them to our global digital audience was very impressive," said Alexandra Willis, Content and Communications Manager at the AELTC.

Former Orange County congressman and ex-Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Christopher Cox has bought a gated, ocean-view house in Laguna Niguel's exclusive Bear Brand Ranch for $5,350,000.
The 11,000-square foot house sits on nearly an acre atop a hill at the end of a long, private driveway. The home has 7 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a "huge'' lawn, swimming pool, spa and an outdoor kitchen, with panoramic views of the coastline and valley, according to the listing. There also are guest/maid quarters, a wine cellar, and a master bedroom retreat with a fireplace.
Cox, a Republican and former Newport Beach resident, served in the House of Representatives for 17 years. He chaired the Committee on Homeland Security. He went on to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission 2005- 2009. His final year in that role was marked by the country's raging financial crisis and housing meltdown. The agency also drew criticism for failing to catch Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
Cox departed the SEC when President Obama took office.
Cox is now a partner at Boston-founded Bingham McCutchen LLP and a member of its corporate, mergers & acquisitions and securities group, advising global companies on strategic issues, corporate governance, securities regulation and other matters, according to the law firm's website. He works in the Costa Mesa office.
He is also a principal of Bingham Consulting Group, which focuses on strategic issues involving federal and state governments, homeland security, and multistate litigation.
Lisa Cooper with Prudential California Realty represented the seller of the Bear Brand Ranch house. Cox's real estate agent was Nedra Jenkins of Surterre Properties.
Cox purchased the house with cash, The Orange County Business Journal reported.
The home was listed at $6,395,000 as of November, 2010, records show. It sold in 2000 for $4,100,000.

Founders Story
Since our first time on our Uncle's lobster boat we were hooked. Brendan and I grew up on the water in Cape Elizabeth, Maine where we were introduced to the lobster industry by our uncle Ted who was a commercial lobsterman. We would work in the summer months for him, compensated in old, beat up lobster traps that we would fix and put back together. By the time we were 9 years old, we were harvesting lobsters from our own boat and fishing traps which we had earned the season before. We never knew it as kids, but growing up and working on the water in a coastal community gave us both the insight and appreciation for the simpler things in life. It also gave us the perseverance and imagination to found Catch a Piece of Maine. It seemed natural, as lobstermen from the age of nine, that our dream of earning a living from the sea would come true. Our passion for the sea continued, and with each year we gained more knowledge and experience with how the lobster industry worked.
Years later, Brendan and I were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to attend college and reluctantly headed off to school with the desire to return home to the sea. We graduated in 2004, both with degrees in business from Northeastern University and Stonehill college.
We remained determined to make a difference for Maine, the lobster industry, and traditions we love so much. Brendan and I have been extremely fortunate to live our dream and follow our desires of becoming Maine lobstermen. We now are able to share our passions with others throughout the country educating others on the industry we love so much. -John Ready

Instead, Manny hit the gym ... cheered on by his fans.
Hours after a report surfaced in which Manny Pacquiao allegedly insinuated that all gay people should be put to death ... the boxer rolled over to his L.A. gym ... where he was SWARMED by adoring fans.
Manny ignited a media firestorm yesterday over an interview with National Conservative Examiner. Manny was asked about Obama's stance on gay marriage ... and the report made it seem as though he referenced Leviticus 20:13.
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
After the report surfaced, Manny was reportedly banned from The Grove in L.A. -- where he was supposed to do an interview with Mario Lopez from "Extra."
A rep for "Extra" tells us the interview has been rescheduled to a different location.
So, we gotta ask ...

Thanksgiving: Surviving it in Green Style
But the idea of a green or even a vegetarian Thanksgiving seems like blasphemy to die hard turkey stuffers. To ease them into what will inevitably be a culture shock, I already started dropping the idea of a green feast that goes beyond just an organic turkey. When asked how theyd green their Thanksgiving, I got all sorts of responses from add more plants to the dinner table to use green dye on the turkey. If were to be literalists, then Id rather go cold turkey than sit across the table from a green turkey.
Rethinking the Main Course
The veggie kick brought with it the turkey ideaa tofu turkey that received grimaces from most non-vegetarians, including myself, if only because of the horrid name for it. Another option is to try a soy-seitan turkey (for a great recipe, check out Chef Bryanna Clark Grogan). Soy is an alternative to tofu, and for many it has a much more appealing taste.
Most people are immediately turned off when thinking of vegetarian alternatives to traditional meat dishes. But this isnt because of experience, (since mostly theyve never even tried it), but rather because of conditioning. Were brought up being programmed to think fowl when imagining a Thanksgiving meal. Itll take a lot of deprogramming and a little willingness on peoples part to taste a soy turkey but once they try it, theyll be one step closer to rethinking their attitude.
Your part in all this is to make sure you dont botch it up. Find a great recipe, and do a quick pre-turkey day test run. This way you can rest assured on the big day and know your feast will be a big hit, with some turkey somewhere thanking you for being spared the gauntlet.
DID YOU KNOW: Approximately 45 million turkeys are (killed) cooked and eaten in the U.S. on Thanksgiving? Thats about a sixth of all turkeys sold in the U.S. each year. With facts like this, its all the more important that we do our part to bring this number down.
Why You Should Green Your Meat
Not too long ago, there was a bigger to-do about our carbon foot print. More recently, people started looking at the carbon foot print of cattle, or what they called a cow emission. According to a 400 page report by the U.N.s Food and Agriculture Organizations report entitled Livestocks Long Shadow, the worlds 1.5 billion cattle are responsible for 18 percent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than all other forms of transportation combined.
A great measure of how much awareness is spreading about this issue is to look outside of the green community. When my non eco friends started discussing it, I knew we were starting to gain ground on the importance of the impact cattle has on our environment. Its a more commonly known fact that cows produce a tremendous amount of methane gas a year, adding to an already increased global warming problem. As a natural part of a collective species, its a small and likely insignificant contribution but when considering cattle is farmed to sustain a billion dollar beef industry, we can start seeing the compounded impact to our ecology.
Cows arent the only ones. Any livestock that is farmed imposes a similar burden on the environment. And if you recall the number of turkeys harvested and killed to cater to a Thanksgiving feast, you can start using your abacus to tally up the figures.
The Problem with Turkey
Turkey dinners have their own carbon foot print, or in this case wing print, according to NPR, which did a piece on tracking the amount of resources it takes to raise a turkey and then transport it to its final destination. Each step along the way burns natural resources from farming turkey to the fuel it takes to transport them.
DID YOU KNOW: A landmark study at Cornell University revealed that turkey meat production consumed energy in a 13:1 ratio to protein output. The study goes on to add that:
Animal agriculture is a leading consumer of water resources in the United States.With these clear cut facts, we find ourselves hard pressed not to switch out turkey for soy, even if just for one day. My recommendation is to email this article to your friends and family, particularly your guest list, to get them thinking about the importance of an eco-friendly Thanksgiving feast.
At the end of the day, Thanksgiving is not about the food as much as it is about community a gathering of loved ones over a feast regardless of what type of feast it is. And its hardly a celebration of gratitude if youve forced a turkey sacrifice for it, who Im sure isnt very grateful to have been included as an unwilling participant.
If when you serve your green meat, theres a chill in the room with you on the receiving end of cold stares, warm up the place with an energy-efficient space heater. Ignore the stares and dig in. Sooner or later everyone else will likely try it too especially considering itll be too late to go anywhere else for a last minute meal.
If youve got to get people to consider alternative lifestyle choices by hook and by crook, then so be it. Were on about 45 million turkeys here that will be very grateful to you for your efforts.

I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat turkey. I'm glad that I've been unconsciously doing my part in protecting the environment! It's a great feeling.

Epic Fairytale Wedding Video

My idea of a fairytale wedding falls more in line with this video, in which a happy Russian couple cavort throughout the forest in full wedding regalia, making out in between sessions of gently shooting "bolts" of love/energy (?) at each other, surrounded by computer-generated doves and real, live, grass-fed champagne.
New dream wedding destination: some Russian forest. Love conquers all.
hot on the web
By Bonnie
How many times can you watch that video without throwing up??!? I can't imagine what that cost, but what a waste of money. Hmmmm . . . I wonder how long it will be before they get divorced.
By lisa
It's too bad that they undoubtedly will have put more effort into their wedding than their marriage. As is the case for many judging by the divorce rate. I spent around 4 grand on my wedding(mostly for booze...lol) and am still happily married 26 years later.
By Teresa
The "best ever"? Please ... how corny can you get. Cute, stupid, slightly imaginative? Maybe. But "best ever"? NO

I loved it, what a great memory to have and share with their family and children

I agree, this was a total waste of time. It was awful. They looked liked idiots!!

can't see the clip, tho it sounds like i'm not missing one... but, disclaimer notwithstanding, "bridezilla" is a highly derogatory term used to describe a woman who behaves like a selfish, inconsiderate, spoiled, angry, insulting, tyrannical beast throughout the planning of, and possibly throughout the day of, her wedding. It is inherently sexist, and there is nothing cute about it. (Haven't you ever seen the show that popularized the word? The bridezillas' behavior is absolutely disgusting - NOT cute.)

This is a fairytale wedding,yes it is Brothers Grimm. Only in Russia, I guess. This is more of a slapstick comedy!

Cute couple. Definitely corny ... although there were one or two spots that looked good. I am betting they will think it is more corny in 15 years then cute and memorable.

Well, there's four minutes I'll never get back. Lame, lame, lame.
I wonder if he'll beat her?

They are Russian... give them a break.. haha I think videos that people do for their weddings are cheesy anyways.. doesn't matter how they do it.
By Helka
What no guests? Two lonely peeps. Will they video their wedding night -- I hope not. Saw enough of lip locking and spit swapping.
Guys, life isn't a fairy tale, either in Russia or any other part of the world. Get real.

Who needs a homing pigeon when a sticky flatfish can deliver a message just the same?
It does take a little longer, though, to hand over fanmail from some flounder, as one Japanese girl can attest. But some things are worth the wait.
A fisherman discovered a still-legible letter she sent off inside a red balloon as part her school's anniversary celebration - 15 years ago!

Ducks claw back into Kings series despite in-game injuries

The Anaheim Ducks lost the services of goaltender Frederik Andersen on a strange play, and Matt Beleskey suffered a "lower-body injury," but the Ducks stared a potential 3-games-to-none deficit in the face and came up winners, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 Thursday night. A solid relief performance from Jonas Hiller in goal and some smart decisions played big factors in the win, as ESPN's Pierre LeBrun noted:
Ben Lovejoy desperately wanted to dish it off to Andrew Cogliano. But with that passing lane closed, he did about the last thing he ever wanted: He shot the puck. He of nine career regular-season goals whistled it top shelf on Jonathan Quick, no less; a dagger of a goal which stood up as the winner for the Anaheim Ducks on a night that had a little bit of everything.
"Easily No. 1," Lovejoy chuckled when asked where that goal stood in his career. "I don't score many goals. So they're all very, very, very special. But that was the first [fist] pump of my life, the first celebration, I hope I did it right. But it was an emotional goal and a big win for this team."
Knowing that a loss would dig a series hole every team wants to avoid, the Ducks showed a lot of moxie Thursday night in a gritty performance that needed all kinds of contributors.
"We all know being down 3-0 to the Kings wouldn't be a situation nice to be in," captain Ryan Getzlaf said after the Ducks' 3-2 win that cut the Kings' series lead to 2-1. "The guys did a great job responding tonight and getting back to where we need to be."
LeBrun continues, and NHL.com posted both a "recap" video...

Frederik Andersen Keeps Winning
by Paul on 04/03/14 at 09:08 AM ET

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
What was interesting about the Anaheim Ducks' 3-2, comeback win over the Edmonton Oilers is that the goalie of record for the Ducks, Frederik Andersen, won for the 19th time and pushed his save percentage to an impressive .925 in 26 appearances.
Head coach Bruce Boudreau has been resting starter Jonas Hiller after a period of uneven play following the Olympics, giving Andersen three straight starts, all victories. The 24-year-old rookie from Herning, Denmark, stopped 30 of 32 against the Oilers as the Ducks moved to within a point of the St. Louis Blues for top spot in the Western Conference.
Now, everyone expects Hiller will reassume the starting role no matter where the Ducks end up in the standings or who they face in the first round. Still, our guess is that Andersen has endeared himself to his teammates and the coaching staff in a way that if Hiller wobbles Boudreau won't hesitate to make a switch.
