According to Roberto Mancini, there is little doubt as to where Manchester City's last title defence came unstuck. "We would probably be at the top, probably also in a Champions League quarter-final if we had signed better players," the Italian claimed after Manchester United opened up a 15-point lead at the top in early April 2013. "We had a chance to get three or four players that would have improved our team but now it is finished with."
It is easy to see Mancini's point. Whilst United and Chelsea were buying Robin van Persie, Shinji Kagawa, Eden Hazard and Oscar, amongst others, City recruited Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair, Matija Nastasic, Javi Garcia, Maicon and Richard Wright. In a title race as competitive as the Premier League, making a summer statement is crucial when aiming to defend your crown - City had abdicated before the coronation crowds dispersed.
It was not the only reason for Mancini's demise, of course. 'Can we put the champagne on ice yet?' was the text reportedly sent by one player to a journalist given the Italian's eventual unpopularity at the club, and when Mancini's departure was revealed, the reply from within the squad was equally pithy. 'It's a shame we have a game against Reading on Tuesday,' one unnamed player joked. 'We could have gone out to celebrate.'
In that respect at least, Manuel Pellegrini is markedly different. Where his predecessor preferred passion and publicity, the Chilean favours discretion and understatement. Charisma is often deemed as a requisite faculty for successful modern football management (see Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Diego Simeone for details), but Pellegrini bucks that trend admirably. The in-joke amongst journalists attending his press conferences is the competition to prise any bloody quotes out of a dreary stone - there is something intensely pleasing in that.
However, whilst the manager of 2014 may be entirely dissimilar to two years ago, Manchester City's current situation bears some rather alarming resemblances, a worrying sense that whilst the club are being sluggish (or even reluctant) in their transfer business, those around them are operating far more proactively and effectively.
Chelsea, who finished just four points behind Pellegrini's side in May, have bought Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Filipe Luis, with Sami Khedira apparently another target for Jose Mourinho. Manchester United have appointed a high-profile and high-quality manager and will surely add to the purchases of Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera after Louis van Gaal has assessed his squad, whilst Arsenal have added Alexis Sanchez and Matthieu Debuchy, with a holding midfielder also seeming likely. Liverpool's ability to continue their resurgence post-Suarez remains incredibly difficult to predict, but signings have been made.
City, meanwhile, have moved in rather less auspicious circles. Fernando has arrived from Porto for a fee of £12million and, whilst the 26-year-old holding midfielder should have gained more than his three Brazil caps, it would surely be a case of Fernando or Fernandinho, rather than both.
Eliaquim Mangala's costly move from the same club is also likely to finally be completed at some point. Mangala will start alongside Vincent Kompany in a City defence that wobbled and creaked at various points last season, with Bacary Sagna and Willy Caballero also recruited from Arsenal and Malaga respectively. Both will presumably be utilised in back-up roles rather than players that impact on City's strongest starting side.
And that's about that. The issue is not simply that Fernando is the only body through the door, but that this seems the height of City's ambitions this summer. There has been hushed discussion over a bid for Ross Barkley, but with Roberto Martinez bullishly declaring that it would take a "world record" bid to persuade Everton to sell, we might draw a line under any potential transfer (for this summer at least) in thick-tipped pen.
Such a status quo would be more understandable were this City squad in rude health, but that is so evidently untrue. Sergio Aguero's hamstrings have looked suspect for the best part of six months, and the Argentinean has started just 55% of City's Premier League games in the last two seasons. Add Alvaro Negredo's concerning goal drought (the Spaniard has failed to score in 22 matches in all competitions since January), and it is clear just how reliant Pellegrini's side were on the majestic form of Yaya Toure.
Therein lies City's biggest issue. Although understandably overshadowed by the tragic family news received by the Ivorian last month, the end of last season brought the bizarre scenario of the Premier League's finest leaving over an apparent birthday-related slur. It's a farcical situation, but no-one at Eastlands is laughing.
Player power is such that if Toure is serious in his engineering of a move away from the club, he is more than likely to be successful, leaving City with a huge hole to fill. Alongside Pablo Zabaleta, these are the only two players to have formed the backbone of both title victories. Even if he stays at the club, the sour taste left in the mouth amongst City supporters is likely to be longer-lasting than any sweet taste of cake.
There is another problem for Pellegrini to contend with too. UEFA's FFP punishments now limit City to a 21-man squad for the Champions League, of which five must be home grown. Although the manager may be looking to remove some of the deadwood from his squad, it is precisely these players that will be required to meet such demands. City named eight homegrown players in their Premier League squad last season - Micah Richards, Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair, Dedrick Boyata and Richard Wright accounted for five of those. It is a quandary.
This has not yet reached the stage where panic or melodrama is necessary, and there are still six weeks remaining in this transfer window, but there still exists a lingering sense that City are again becoming guilty of a tendency to rest on footballing laurels - that's a risky tactic indeed.
There is little doubt that in order to match the marker set down by City last season, their peers were forced to play catch-up, whether through squad investment or managerial change. Unfortunately for Pellegrini, that has largely been achieved by mid-July. Now it is City themselves that must push on to avoid their resurgence under the Chilean from plateauing ominously. Their fans have seen it happen before.

Yields on Brazilian interest-rate futures fell after economists cut their 2011 growth forecast for a fifth straight week, fueling speculation the central bank will act further to shore up the economy amid the global slowdown.
The yield on the contract due in January 2013 dropped four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 10.19 percent at 9:42 a.m. in Sao Paulo.
Brazil's economy will expand 3.2 percent this year, according to the median forecast in a Nov. 4 central bank survey of about 100 economists published today, down from an estimate of 3.29 percent the previous week. Global stocks fell today on concern Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will fail to win a majority for a parliamentary vote, worsening Europe's debt crisis and further jeopardizing the global recovery.
"The situation remains pretty bad in terms of economic and political indicators in Europe," said Andre Perfeito, chief economist at Gradual Investimentos in Sao Paulo. "That brings down activity in Brazil and translates into more space for the central bank to cut rates. Activity numbers in Brazil are coming in consistently bad."
The central bank has lowered the benchmark Selic rate twice since August, to 11.5 percent.
The real was little changed at 1.7516 per dollar.

Beautiful. Thanks for the link.

The photos selected by Luana Rubin are so dark and along with the music, the presentation seemed a bit depressing.
Wouldn't be surprised to see some of these colors and patterned prints at her Internet store.
A few of the quilts reminded me of PortlandMaine's work, except PM's work is so bright and happy.
How about a PM show (with happy music)!

WASHINGTON – Saying the wrong thing to your boss can do major career damage.
Career planning website Monster.com shared some tips for when to keep your mouth shut with the boss.
The top phrase employee should avoid saying to their bosses is, "I need a raise," according to Monster.com. Bosses hate entering into salary negotiations by hearing about your increased expenses, the site says.
Monster.com says bosses want evidence of success in the work place so that raises can be offered as an award. They don't really care about your personal bills.
Never say you can't do something. Monster says it's important to talk in terms of things you can accomplish. For example, instead of saying, "I can't do this by Friday," try, "I can definitely finish this by Monday."
Here are the nine things not to say to the boss:

10 Leaders Who Redefine Leadership
Mbizo Chirasha | Zimbabwe
Leading as an Ally
"Being a leader is first to carry others' burdens, to do the best in sharing your skills, your passions, your creativity, and your world view–while balancing opportunities and space for both genders."
Watching his mother toiling in the fields and selling tomatoes for his school fees made an impression on Mbizo Chirasha as a young boy. Mbizo grew up in a family of poor peasant farmers in what he describes in his World Pulse journal as a dust-laden, drought-prone region of Zimbabwe. When his father died, 13-year-old Mbizo and his now female-headed family were chased away from their land. At that young age, he understood that their unjust dispossession was a direct result of discrimination against his mother due to her gender. Despite incredible hardship, Mbizo's mother worked hard to support the family. Today she is Mbizo's hero and his inspiration.
Mbizo applies the perseverance he learned from his mother to advocate on behalf of girls' rights in Zimbabwe. He is an internationally acclaimed performance poet, writer, and a devoted advocate for the girl child. "If women are empowered and motivated they change the face of the world," says Mbizo. He is the founder of multiple grassroots educational projects, including Girl Child Creativity Project, which empowers girls through their exploration of the creative arts. He seeks continued networking and skill-sharing with World Pulse community members.

Little sign of Libyan probe into consulate attack
BENGHAZI, Libya — After more than two months, Libya's investigation into the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi appears in limbo. Key security commanders and witnesses say they were never questioned. No suspects have been named, and gunmen seen participating in the assault walk freely in the eastern Libyan city.
Hanging over the probe is a fear of reprisals from extremist militiamen. Farag al-Fazani, a young commander of a Libyan security force commissioned to protect the U.S. post at the time of the Sept. 11 attack, says he sees militants he recognizes from that chaotic night.

Ohio's top court says Hamilton County must amend its ballot language on a Cincinnati charter amendment ahead of the November election.
The Supreme Court Thursday ruled the county must include omitted sections of the proposed amendment to reform the city's employee pension program. The group Cincinnati for Pension Reform put the issue on the ballot but objected to the modified language adopted by the Board of Elections.
It's not every day that you come across an issue that unites the Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Council and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber.
Nor are there many issues on which the two Democratic candidates for Cincinnati mayor, John Cranley and Roxanne Qualls, agree.
But Issue 4, the tea party-backed charter amendment that will be on the Nov. 5 ballot, is one of them.
Cincinnati voters will decide in November if they want to amend the charter to make changes to the city's troubled pension system. Those could include finding a way to fully fund the current plan in ten years and requiring new employees to be in 401K style plans similar to those offered by many private employers.

Available Case Documents
The following documents for this case are available for you to view or download:
|Date Filed
|Document Text
|December 27, 2013
|Opinion and Order - Because Belkin's Third Counterclaim and Third Affirmative Defense satisfy the level of specificity and sufficiently allege materiality and intent required by Rule 9(b) and applicable case law, Cyber's Motion to Dismiss or Strike the Inequitable Conduct Assertions in Belkin's First Amended Answer and Amended Counterclaims 25 is DENIED. Signed on 12/27/2013 by Judge Michael H. Simon. (mja)
|March 24, 2014
|Opinion and Order - The disputed terms "top" and "bottom" are given their plain and ordinary meanings. The Court construes the disputed term "flap" to mean "a flat piece of material that has at least one side attac hed to the portfolio." The Court construes the disputed term "to engage said flap" to mean "to physically connect the top with the flap." The phrase "X-shaped configuration" in Claim 1(c) is not invalid as indefinit e or in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 112(b). Finally, the Court declines to address Belkin's written description challenge under 35 U.S.C. § 112(a) at this time and will wait to see whether that issue is raised either pretrial in a motion for summary judgment or at trial in a motion for judgment as a matter of law. Signed on 3/24/2014 by Judge Michael H. Simon. (mja) Modified on 3/24/2014 (mja).

Through the MITES (Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science) program, OEOP offers three rigorous residential and online academic enrichment programs for promising high school juniors who are interested in studying and exploring careers in science and engineering. By submitting a MITES application, students are automatically considered for one of three academic enrichment opportunities: a one-week residential program, a six-week residential program, and a six-month online enrichment program. These programs include MITES, E2@MIT (Engineering Experience @ MIT), and MOSTEC (MIT Online Science, Technology, & Engineering Community). Through these programs, the OEOP is able to serve a larger number of selected students from the growing pool of MITES applicants (1750 applications in 2012). These national programs stress the value and reward of pursuing advanced technical degrees and careers while developing the skills necessary to achieve success in science and engineering. The programs are rooted in MIT's belief in the importance of students from diverse populations to pursue higher education and careers in these fields.
Selected students build self-confidence in their ability to be successful in a demanding academic atmosphere, and have a chance to work with and befriend individuals of different racial, ethnic and other backgrounds. Although admission to MIT is not the focus of MITES, for its graduates, there is a strong record of successful admission to MIT and to other engineering and science universities.
Each of the three academic enrichment opportunities offered by OEOP are 100% scholarship-based. Funding from industry, foundations, grants, individuals, and MIT covers all living and educational expenses for each admitted student. Students only pay for their transportation to and from MIT.
2015 application timeline
The application timeline is as follows:
November 20, 2014
The 2015 student application opened.
February 4, 2015
Applications are due.

Graphic designer and communications expert Stephen Fogg, who works for Crossway Baptist Church in Melbourne, Australia, recently gave special attention to the website pages of churches promoting Easter services by showcasing a top eight list on his blog.
"Easter is a great time to be inspired by the creativity coming from other churches. As I look online and see what other churches around the world are creating on their websites to promote their Easter services I'm amazed at the talent out there," writes Fogg. "I love the strategy, creativity and work that communication peeps, designers, videographers put into crafting a great online experience for Easter."
The list, along with images of the websites, includes (in no particular order) The Chapel in the Chicagoland, Ill.; Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.; Mars Hill Church based in Seattle; Fellowship Church in Texas; Hillsong in locations throughout the world; Mariners Church based in Irvine, Calif.; NewSpring Church in South Carolina; and Willow Creek Community Church in the Chicago area. more >>
IRVINE, Calif., – Recording artist and worship leader Phil Wickham had to cancel his performance at Catalyst West and additional concerts it was announced at the event Thursday evening because of a vocal cord irregularity most likely caused from overuse.
In a letter from Wickham read to those attending, he wrote, "Thankfully, they believe we caught this early on enough that it can most likely be reversed without surgery. The only way to reverse it is total silence. No singing. No talking. The silence could be two weeks, two months, or longer."
Wickham did appear on stage after the letter was read for a time of prayer with all inside the Mariners Church worship center where the main sessions are being held. more >>
Building the Old Time Religion: Women Evangelists in the Progressive Era takes an in-depth look at the lasting impact that the ministry and achievements of 24 women have made on U.S. Christianity. These women founded educational institutions, organizations and denominations during the Progressive Era and many of their contributions remain pivotal to American society today.
They range in name from Virginia Moss, Elizabeth Baker, Mary Lee Cagle, Emma Whittemore and Martha Lee to Iva Durham Vennard, Aimee Semple McPherson, Helen Sunday, Evangeline Booth and several others. Their denominations include Methodist, Roman Catholic, Salvation Army, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, and others. Among the many institutions and churches these women founded are the Catholic Truth Guild, Apostolic Faith Mission, Door of Hope, Good Will Mission, L.I.F.E. Bible College, Angelus Temple and Beulah Heights Assembly.
According to theologian and author Priscilla Pope-Levison, the 24 women evangelists featured in Building the Old Time religion broke ground and pressed against the tide of the times to follow and fulfill the calls they felt God had placed on their lives. Pope-Levison, professor of Theology at Seattle Pacific University and an ordained United Methodist minister compresses 20 years of research into less than 200 pages and leaves no stone unturned in her effort to reveal the accomplishments, struggles and shortcomings of these "theologically conservative" Christian leaders. more >>
A pair of atheist organizations are planning to host a mass resignation of Mormons from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during its general conference.
The national organization American Atheists and its local affiliate Atheists of Utah intend to hold the resignation event during the LDS church's general conference this weekend.
Dave Muscato, public relations director with Americans Atheists, told The Christian Post that while similar events have occurred in the past, this year's event "is the first mass resignation with which American Atheists has been involved at the national level." more >>
WOODBRIDGE, Va.— Millennials are leaving the Church because they not being given a "cause," said youth ministry leader Greg Stier.
"I feel like one of the reasons why Millennials are leaving the church is because Millennials are causal. They want a cause," said Stier, who's leading the "Reverse" conference tour. "Generally speaking, the Church has failed to give them a cause. Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 says 'Go and make disciples of all nations;' 'I'll give you a cause.'"
Stier, head of Dare 2 Share Ministries, is currently touring the country to equip thousands of youth to preach the Gospel. His latest stop was in the Washington, D.C. area, where he spoke to The Christian Post about Millennials. more >>

Black & White Cookie Co.'s New Plan to Roll In the Dough
The Way Forward
As the economy improves, Auerbach has a renewed sense of enthusiasm to sell his concept and is positioning the company for growth. He says he has gotten several unsolicited requests to franchise the business from all over the country and even as far away as Israel.
Auerbach's ultimate vision is something similar to the business model behind Mrs. Fields: being able to bake the cookie in mass quantities at a facility, but then warm up and decorate them in the stores. He also hopes to sell the cookies in large chains like 7-Eleven and start franchising the idea as both a retail store and as non-traditional stores, such as food trucks and in theaters and arenas, like Barclays Center. He also wants to boost his catering effort.
The company is about to relaunch its e-commerce website and will soon stop the outsourcing of production (which means he will once again regain control of the actual recipe used for the cookies) in order to move production completely to one facility in Brooklyn, N.Y.
As a testament to how well his brand has done, Auerbach says this year was the second year he did the American Cancer Society's Taste of Hope, a food and beverage charity tasting event that features top New York restaurants and vendors. He says the cookies he brought were made from a different manufacturer than last year's cookies."The feedback did not change one bit. The branding overrode it. No one noticed the change. No one even considered that it could be different," he says. "It was the brand that mattered more than the actual product." Catherine Kaputa, a brand expert and author of Breakthrough Branding: How Smart Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs Transform a Small Idea into a Big Brand, says the company's "strong visual identity" and "visual hook with the cookie itself" is a powerful advantage and memorable in customers' minds. "Having a strong visual look that is memorable is powerful for a brand like the 'swoosh' for Nike, the pink ribbon for Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, Christian Louboutin's red soles or Tiffany's blue box. So when you say the name Black and White Cookie, everyone sees the visual hook," she says. But Kaputa says the company really needs to appeal to emotional branding with a story. "Brands that become big brands wrap themselves in stories that connect emotionally with the target audience," she says. "What's the story behind how Black and White Cookies were created?"

|I'm not really sure if I've done the right choice...I bought my Lavender this July and this month I pruned it, treating it like my Basils'...
Should I have pruned after 1 year or pruning it today is a right thing?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 17, 11 at 9:11
|Was it a tiny little plant or a plant of some size? If it had some size on it, it may have been more than a year old anyways.
As a rule, I don't prune young perennial plants (outside of mint, oregano, and lemon balm) until the second year. In the second year, I lightly prune. But if the plant is very vigorous, I may harvest more. It's the third year that I prune and harvest as much as the plant will take. I try to give the plant time to establish itself. I want to harvest for many years as opposed to one.
Each plant is different. Some not only tolerate but become more vigorous being cut back to the soil line. Others you have to have a far more gentle hand with, pinching leaves and buds judiciously by hand. Learning what is best for each plant *before* cutting will increase your gardening successes.
All that said, I never prune my lavender. It may need on occasional a light clip to neaten it but never a pruning.

Banks Stealing Our Wealth and Our Sovereignty: Opinion
VANCOUVER ( Silver Gold Bull) -- One of the difficulties in attempting to cover developments in the global economy is that often there are flurries of news items at any one time, making it impossible to deal with all these events as they occur.
That's why it is only now I am commenting on an announcement by the European Central Bank on July 20 that Greek government bonds would no longer be "eligible as collateral."
There are many interesting points. To begin with, we see yet another example of these con men using a slippery euphemism to hide the fact their paper empire of fraud is collapsing around us. But there are also many nuances to this announcement.
To place this announcement into some context, it's first worth noting this is the second time this year the bankers have "suspended eligibility" of Greece's bonds, the last time being literally days before it defaulted on 75% of that debt.With that additional background, we now can fully understand what the ECB actually meant with its euphemism: Greek bonds are worthless. In turn, this directly implies an even more dire reality: Greece has been declared bankrupt for the second time in six months. Understand that there is only one small but significant step separating an "insolvent debtor" from a "bankrupt debtor." While bankruptcy is often inevitable for insolvent debtors, what makes such debtors merely insolvent is creditors will continue to extend them additional credit. Conversely, once the debtor is cut off credit and unable to pay its bills, then bankruptcy is instantaneous/automatic. Thus, we have a cabal of private bankers simply decreeing all Greek bonds are worthless and, as an inevitable consequence, Greece as a nation is bankrupt. Am I the only person who sees a problem with this? Once upon a time, Western nations enjoyed a concept called "sovereignty." By no coincidence, we enjoyed our sovereignty during a period of history when we practiced a concept known as "the gold standard." With any nation practicing a gold standard, no cabal of foreign bankers can simply decree that a nation's bonds were worthless, because they would be backed by gold. Thus no cabal of foreign bankers could decree that your nation was bankrupt.

When Hecarim captures an altar, the spirit warns him not to trust Mordekaiser.
Sometimes when Hecarim captures a point the woman says : "Hecarim, Mordekaiser is not to be trusted"
Demonic Instinct
Interesting stuff. Does anyone know if Yorick/Maokai/Elise have any special interactions with the altars?
Blutarsky Blues
was posted on another thread but very funny song with the dance.
Any cool interactions with eve?
Each member of the Shadow Isles champions has at least 2 special capture quotes, 1 for each altar (not sure about Eve and Karthus, I think they do though).
Let's see which ones I can remember
WEST: Do you feel lonely, Yorick?
As you wish, Gravedigger
Alas, poor Yorick. (k it's gonna take more than that to convince me to use Yorick...)

I know we tend to react strongly when a winning team doesn't draw well, and the empty seats at the X have been troubling, given the outstanding performance of this year's Wild team.
My take: Don't sweat it. If this continues to be a good team, and I think it will, the fans will arrive. Probably after football season and the holidays pass, and the NHL standings become more meaningful.
Wrote about the Wild for the Friday paper. A quick preview: This team is overachieving right now, given the injuries and difficult recent schedule, but I think this organization is set up to win for a long time. GM Chuck Fletcher has done a masterful job of giving this year's team a chance to win while also acquiring young talent.
The Wild is four good goalies deep, meaning Fletcher may be able to trade one for value. About all the Wild seems to lack moving forward is a signature scorer, a 40-goal guy. If Fletcher could somehow land Parise, this team could become a championship contender.
One thing I've heard from a lot of people around the Wild is that Martin Havlat's departure was a key for this team. He was quite disliked in the lockerroom, and he was not an end-to-end player. If he had played for the Wild this year, Mike Yeo would have had to make an example of him. Chuck Fletcher spared Yeo the trouble.
I think the signing of Josh Willingham rules out the Twins' re-signing Michael Cuddyer, and here's the catch for those who want to see Cuddyer brought back at any price:
If the Twins are willing to pay Cuddyer what he wants, about $10 million a year, that could be a sign that they don't think Justin Morneau is going to be healthy.
If Morneau is healthy, the Twins don't have a huge need for Cuddyer. If Morneau isn't healthy, then Cuddyer could be the starting first baseman.
Saw two Wolves practices this week, and was struck by how much better this coaching staff is than its predecessor, and many in Wolves' history.
You've got Adelman, one of the best coaches of his generation, and Jack Sikma coaching big men, and Terry Porter coaching guards. I heard from a lot of people last year that not only was Kurt Rambis challenged as a head coach, but his staff was awful. Bill Laimbeer mailed it in. Reggie Theus was looking for his next job. Dave Wohl was not well-liked.
This staff will get the most out of this roster.
Upcoming: I'll be on 1500espn from 6-8 tonight with a bunch of guests, including Jared Spurgeon, Toby Gerhart and probably someone from the Wolves from Mankato. Also joining me will be Brian Allee-Walsh, an old friend who has covered the Saints for decades.
Also, I'll be on 1500espn at 2:05 tomorrow with Reusse and Mackey, and Tom Pelissero and I will run Sunday Sports Talk from 10-noon before the Vikings game on Sunday.
My twitter name is @Souhanstrib.
The Wolves really are cursed. They finally inspire hope with the hiring of Rick Adelman, and now they might not have a season.
My knee-jerk, Twitter-enabled reaction to the NBA players union shunning the owner's latest offer was that the players are being foolish. They're giving up huge money that they'll never make back while fighting over terms many of them don't even understand. (I'm not insulting their intelligence; I don't understand most of these deep financial negotiations, either.)
But I should be more even-handed. The owners are just as much to blame as the players. They were on the verge of a great deal for them, and by trying to wring the last dime and concession out of the players that they could, they did the worst thing they possibly could have done: They pushed the players into shutting down negotiations and lawyering up.
Whether it's divorce or sports negotiations, it's never a good sign when one or both sides invest heavily in power lawyers. Because power lawyers aren't there to get a fair deal. They're there to prove their worth by crushing the opponent. They're there to rack up billable hours.
I could still see a deal getting done in the next three weeks, could see the owners realizing they pushed too far and working to save the season with a reasonable deal. But now it's a long-shot, and David Stern is just as much to blame as the players.
It's nice that the Gophers basketball team keeps beating overmatched opponents, but the measure of a Tubby Smith Minnesota team is whether they can win a close game against a decent Big Ten team by running a real offense in crunch time. Until I see that, I'm not going to be impressed.
If you enjoyed watching the Lynx, like women's basketball or just like to watch a talented athlete of any gender or age develop, I recommend watching the Gopher women and freshman point guard Rachel Banham.
She's a dynamnic ballhandler who can shoot, finish and set up here teammates. She's the most talented player the Gophers have had since Lindsay Whalen left.
With the NBA locked out and the football teams stinking it up, we're pretty close to becoming a hockey town. (Or hockey cities.)
What's encouraging about the local hockey teams is that the Gophers look like they're much tougher physically and mentally than they've been in years. They don't wimp out around the net or in the corners, and they bounced back from a tough loss at Wisconsin with an impressive victory.
And while it's always risky to jump to conclusions at any point of the long NHL season, it appears Mike Yeo has the presence of a winning coach. It's funny, too, that the way they're playing now reminds you a lot of the way Wild played under Lemaire - responsible defensively, and making the most of the few goals they score.
You are entitled to be underwhelmed by the Twins' signing of shortstop Jamey Carroll, but this is the kind of reasonable, subtle, important move that the Twins need to make.
No matter what their payroll, they're not going to outspend big-market teams for premier talent. They have to use their money wisely, and Carroll, while limited, is a great upgrade over everyone who played shortstop for the Twins last year.
Now the Twins need to sign someone who can either catch 140 games if needed, or can move around the diamond and sub at catcher for Joe Mauer.
If only Trevor Plouffe could catch....
Aaron Rodgers is so good that, for the first time since I started writing about the NFL in 1989, I'm startled when a pass falls incomplete.
He completed 23 of 30 passes on Monday night. The web site Profootballfocus.com reported that of the 27 passes he tried to complete (wasn't spiking or throwing away), he completed 23, and his receivers dropped three of his four incompletions.
I know a lot of Minnesotans love to hate the Pack, but I like watching greatness no matter what color it wears. This is greatness.
Upcoming: I'll be on 1500espn at 2:05 today with Reusse and Mackey. My twitter handle is @Souhanstrib.
There are certain questions I get asked repeatedly. Let me provide a few answers:
1. I don't write headlines. If you love the headline, I don't get the credit. If you hate the headline, I'll take the blame if you like, but I didn't write it. And while we have a dedicated team of editors who do their best to capture the spirit of a column in the headline, please don't read the headline and fire off an angry email. The opinion expressed in the column might be slightly different, or less vehement, than the headline suggests.
2. I don't write ``articles.'' I write ``columns.'' The difference, and my business does a terrible job of differentiating these things, is that articles are supposed to be based in objectivity and reporting, while a column allows the auithor to express opinions and his or her perspective. It's my job to write opinion pieces, so if you're shocked to see me writing opinion, well, we in my industry haven't done a very good job of explaining to you that that is my role.
The line has blurred over the years, with more beat writers (people assigned to cover specific teams or leagues) writing more opinion pieces, but essentially my job is to do my homework and then tell you what I think. A beat writer's job is to bring you the news.
3. I don't dislike Jerry Kill, and I wouldn't be surprised if, in three years or so, he's fielding a competitive Big Ten team. In fact, I like the guy. I like open, honest, intense people.
I criticized the timing of his contract extension because it looks to me like another amateurish decision by the overseers of Gophers athletics. I'm not calling for him to be fired; I'm saying that he should be forced to prove himself like anyone else in any line of work before he's rewarded.
Sorry, a one-point win at home over Iowa doesn't justify the extension. It was a nice moment and a sign that Kill hasn't lost his players, which is a positive development. But as I've said before, if beating Iowa at home is such a monumental achievement, why didn't Jeff Horton get the job?
4. I haven't been as hard on Leslie Frazier as many of you would have liked because I had low expectations for this team entering the season. I figured this was a 7-9 team, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's about where this team ends up.
I think Frazier is learning on the job, and that should be expected. To me, the key to his tenure might be how his offensive coordinator, Bill Musgrave, handles the offense now that Christian Ponder is in place. Musgrave is highly respected around the league as a quarterbacks coach. Now he has to prove he can run an offense effectively. Sunday was a start, with Musgrave using Percy Harvin creatively and getting Adrian Peterson involved in the passing game.
5. I haven't been as hard on Ron Gardenhire as many of you would like because I think the average fan is nuts when it comes to evaluating managers. Take the World Series. Both managers made egregious strategical errors, and yet Ron Washington almost guided his team to a title, and Tony La Russa won the title with a team that shouldn't have even been there.
All managers, even the greats, make moves that make us scratch our heads. And no manager can win without pitching depth and talent.
I didn't see Gardenhire performing any differently this season than he did when the Twins were considered baseball's model franchise. He's not the X factor.
6. Don't take my predictions any more seriously than I do. After all, I thought the Twins were going to be good last year.
7. I'm hearing that the NBA lockout will end within three weeks, and that the owners will get pretty much the deal they wanted all along. They always planned to make the players miss a paycheck or two, knowing that would bring them all the leverage they need to finalize a deal.
8. I don't expect the Twins to re-sign Joe Nathan or Michael Cuddyer. The Twins value them both, but once a player hits the open market, someone is going to bid more than the Twins. That's just reality. If the Twins really wanted Cuddyer back, they wouldn't have offered him $16 million over two years, which was bound to insult Cuddyer's agent if not Cuddyer himself.
9. Upcoming: I'll be on 1500espn at 2:05 p.m. today, and all weekdays, with Reusse and Mackey. My twitter handle is @Souhanstrib.
It's silly to pretend that a city or state's sporting teams are all somehow linked by anything other than geography. The Twins don't affect the Vikings who don't affect the Gophers who don't affect the Wolves, and so on.
But this is getting a little creepy.
The Wolves are on one of the most remarkable five-year runs of ineptitude in NBA history. The Twins are headed toward 100 losses. Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, and, I believe, TC Bear are all done for the season. The Wild has fired two coaches since it last made the playoffs. Gopher football lost last week to New Mexico State, which just lost at home to UTEP.
Sunday, the Vikings blew a 17-0 halftime lead to lose, 24-20. They've now been outscored in second halves this season, 41-3.
Since Brett Favre threw that fateful interception, the Vikings are 6-12, including 3-5 under Leslie Frazier.
In an easier division, starting 0-2 might not be such a big problem, but the Vikings probably have the fourth-best team in the NFC North.
I'm not sure I've ever seen two poorer performances from a quarterback who didn't throw an interception than I've seen from Donovan McNabb the last two weeks. He's the anti-Tarvaris: He isn't making killing mistakes, he's just a little off, whether in timing or accuracy.
He threw for 228 yards and no interceptions on Sunday, but made so few positive plays in the second half that the Vikings lost again.
It's hard to lose when you run for 186 yards, throw for 228 yards and commit zero turnovers. But an inability to pick up the occasional first down under pressure is almost the same as committing turnovers.
Maybe I should be more sensitive, but I have a hard time believing that Joe Mauer couldn't play another game this season.
Let me ask you one question: If Derek Jeter had the same illness as Mauer today, do you think he'd take off the rest of the season?
Me, either.
I said this on Twitter earlier, and I believe it: The Wolves' hiring of Rick Adelman makes them the biggest winner of any sports team in town this week.
How often, over the last few years, could the Wolves have said that?
Given the state of disrepair of all the other teams in town, I could see Adelman making the Wolves one of the most popular draws in Minnesota. I believe he can immediately improve the Wolves from 17 wins to 30-some wins, and this town will embrace a young, fun, up-tempo team in the heart of our downtown.
I went to see the Gear Daddies at the Fine Line on Friday, and, as someone who doesn't spend a whole lot of weekend nights downtown, I was stunned at how many people were on the street around midnight. (Or later.)
That's the Wolves' demographic. I've gotten the feeling the last couple of years that there are tens of thousands of people who will pack Target Center if the Wolves can just give them a little hope. And I think Adelman represents hope.
My twitter handle is @Souhanstrib. I'll be on 1500espn at 2 p.m. weekdays, plus on at 6:15ish on Monday and Friday (Twins schedule permitting) with Tom Pelissero, my Sunday Morning Sports Talk partner, who will be hosting a nightly show from 6-8 p.m. on the station.
I'm hearing that Sam Mitchell has emerged as the frontrunner for the Timberwolves' head coaching position.
To me, this is a sign that Glen Taylor has exerted his influence on the hiring process. Mitchell is an old favorite of Taylor's, and in the absence of a sure-thing candidate like Rick Adelman (who appears to be ready to sit out next season), Mitchell, with his local ties and tough-guy persona, makes a lot of sense.
-It's been a brutal year for the Twins and their medical staff, so let me point out something nice:
Ryan Hedwall, the athletic trainer for the Elizabethton (rookie-league) Twins, has been named as the minor-league athletic trainer of the year for the Appalachian League. Hurry to the bigs, buddy: This team needs lots of healing.
-Baseball is so often wonderfully strange. The Twins had drawn just one walk in their previous 182 plate appearances before Tuesday's game. They drew four walks in the first inning against Red Sox starter Erik Bedard. Including a bases-loaded walk by Delmon Young. I'm not making this up.
Ball four to Young looked like a strike. Young's reputation for patience must have won over home-plate umpire Tim McClelland.
-It was a blast catching up with former Twin Gene Larkin on the radio on Sunday. Gene was always one of my favorite players, a pro who never complained about anything and took great pride in preparing himself to play.
-I believe this trivia question originated with ESPN's Jayson Stark, and the Red Sox beat writers were kicking it around before the game: Name the five active big-leaguers who have hit 20 or more home runs with four different teams. The answer is at the end of this post...
-What are the Twins going to do with Tsuyoshi Nishioka? He struck out in his first two at-bats on Tuesday, looking helpless each time. He's hitting .213 as I write this. If I were the Twins, I would offer to buy out part of his $6 million-plus in remaining salary, and let both parties off the hook. This has to be tremendously embarrassing for a guy so revered in his home country.
-This from Twins' PR wizard Dustin Morse: Jim Thome now ranks eighth all-time in homers and walks. He has 10,003 career plate appearances (through four innings on Tuesday night), with 1,708 walks and 598 homers. That means he has homered or walked in 23 percent of his big-league plate appearances.
-Believe it or not, I agree with the Twins' decision to call up Kevin Slowey, my old pal, and stick him in the rotation, now that Scott Baker is headed to the disabled list.
Slowey won't or can't pitch out of the bullpen. If this were a contending team, I wouldn't want a guy with his attitude around. Now that this team is no longer in contention, allowing Slowey to reestablish his trade value by pitching in the big leagues makes sense.
If he can pitch decently, Slowey should be able to bring a reasonable price in a trade this winter. A lot of teams are looking for affordable bottom-of-the-rotation help in the winter.
-Beautiful night at Target Field, whatever the outcome. There is something relaxing about going to the ballpark and knowing the game doesn't mean anything. It's like spring training in August.
-Trivia answer: Jim Thome, Alfonso Soriano, Mike Cameron, Adrian Beltre and J.D. Drew. (I didn't do very well on this one.)
-I'm really hoping Jim Thome hits his 600th home run at Target Field. A lot of fans are paying a lot of money to watch bad baseball this year; seeing Thome reach that milestone would be a nice reward to them.
But if he can't hit it at Target Field, I'd like to see him hit it in Cleveland, where he started as a rawboned third baseman who heard Charlie Manuel, then the Indians' hitting coach, barking in his ear.
Even in this awful season, Thome remains the nicest man in baseball.
-Upcoming: I have columns on the Vikings, Gopher football and Lynx in the works, and I'll be in the studio on Sunday for the Gardenhire Show and Sunday Morning Sports Talk, while Tom Pelissero checks in from the road.

Warning: this post contains spoilers. Make sure you're caught up on your DVD queue before reading!
Though its title clearly emphasizes the male characters in the show, the Mad Men finale made it abundantly clear that the women are edging out the men as the real power players in this show. The changing tone of the female characters in the series mirrors the changing tone of the time in which the Emmy-winning show is set. The early 1960s saw a massive change for the role of women in society: no longer were they only seen as housewife material. Like their real-life counterparts, the main women of Mad Men got mad as heck with gender discrimination and they aren't going to sit back and just take it anymore.
Betty Draper
Don Draper's wife (played by January Jones) made good on her promise to leave him despite his "there, there" condescension and insinuation that it was just her hormones talking. Though this was somewhat shocking for the notoriously doormat-ish Betty, perhaps even more shocking was New York State's exceedingly restrictive divorce laws, which required irrefutable evidence of infidelity. But Betty was undeterred in her determination to leave Don: even during the divorce talk with their children, as Don tried to soften things by saying it's "temporary," Betty made it clear she wanted the marriage to be over for good.
Peggy Olson
While Don (played by Jon Hamm) had done a lot to propel the career of his former secretary, he still consistently proved that he was going to remain in control of her advertising destiny. Not this time, though. As Don informed Peggy that he was leaving Sterling-Cooper to start his own firm -- and that she would be coming with him -- she protested, and marched out of his office. "You didn't even ask me," she pointed out. He merely assumed she would do his bidding. She only relented when the emasculated Don came to her house, hat in hand, and all but begged her to join them.
Joan Holloway
When the Sterling-Cooper castoffs were casting about for someone who really knew how to run things, who did they call? A woman, of course. The ball-busting Joan Holloway may take orders from her higher-ups (read: men), but she doesn't take b.s. from anyone. Now if only they'd finally give her a shot to move beyond her office-manager role, as she came so close to doing last season, they'd truly win over their female viewers. The show has already gotten much praise for bringing back the curvaceous beauty ideal by casting the gorgeous Christina Hendricks. Come on, Mad Men creators. Let's keep the momentum going.
What did you think of the finale? Chime in below!

Walter (Wally) Wysopal, city manager of North St. Paul since 1998, will be moving to the same position in Fridley. Wysopal, 51, a Fridley resident, was chosen by the City Council from a pool of 46 applicants, nine of whom the council interviewed.
He will succeed Bill Burns, who retired Dec. 31 after 24 years as Fridley city manager.
"There are some great opportunities in the areas of economic development and housing that really attract me to Fridley," Wysopal said. He noted some mixed-use projects planned for near the city's Northstar train station. "The city is turning the corner into redevelopment. Those are the kind of things you need to do to continue to be a viable place to live and work."
The city paid $30,000 to Slavin Management Consultants of Norcross, Ga., to manage the search. The interviewed candidates included one from New Mexico, five from other Minnesota cities and three Fridley department managers.
The city will negotiate a contract that must be approved by the council.

you may wish to leave it on so firmware updates are simple.
perhaps you really want to disable the blue light alerts in your wii's inbox settings?
After searching, and not finding my answer. How do I unconnect from the internet? I had no problems connecting, but after connecting I'm unable to turn off my Wii completely. The LED goes from green to amber and the blue LED's slowly blink continuously. This behavior is driving us nuts(also keeping the dog awake) Thanks.
Turn off Standby Connection for WiiConnect24.
This will shut the Wii completely off when you turn it off (power light will go red).
Thanks, that did it.Turn off Standby Connection for WiiConnect24.
also.. in you internet options you can clear the settings after you choose your connection.

As an upper-level weather maker swings into Texas, numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to remain scattered across the Brazos Valley. A few storms could be strong -- with heavy rain, thunder, & occasional lightning -- however, this activity is not expected to become severe. Rain chance will remain in place through mid-morning to midday Friday.
As an upper-level weather maker swings into Texas, numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to remain scattered across the Brazos Valley. A few storms could be strong -- with heavy rain, thunder, & occasional lightning -- however, this activity is not expected to become severe. Rain chance will remain in place through mid-morning to midday Friday.
Electricity costs could be hurting your wallet this summer. As temperatures increase outside, air conditioners run even more, and electricity bills rise. That's why home builders are looking to new ways to keep costs down for the consumer.
As new home construction booms in the Brazos Valley, so does the consumer's desire for a more cost efficient house.
"Our customers are much, much more aware as well as concerned of rising energy costs," local home builder Randall Pitcock said.
Pitcock is a former President of the Bryan-College Station Home Builders Association. He and other builders are acutely aware of the need for energy efficient homes.
"That's our biggest goal to stop that heat transfer and cooling gains during the wintertime," Pitcock said.
So home builders are using materials that will save home owners money.
"We use a thicker or higher R value fiber glass bat. This white loose filled insulation is what we use in attics and it seals a little better than the bat insulation in an attic it seals around light cans and air conditioner ducts and those types of products," Pitcock said.
Besides thicker insulation home builders are turning to foil reflecting material on exterior walls and roofs.
"We get that little bit of R value and we also get that radiant heat barrier and we're using the same application on the roof deck and so if you've got the foil turned down then it helps reflect that heat, keeps your attic anywhere from 20 to 40 degrees cooler in the dead of summer," Pitcock said.
Low-E windows are also being installed to block out UV rays along with vinyl frame windows to stop the transfer of heat. And homeowners are seeing good results.
"Utilities are much more under control people are moving into new homes and they are larger by sometimes as much as 1,000 square feet and their utility bills are going down because of the energy efficiency of the construction of the home," Pitcock said.
If you are not in the market to build a home, there are things you can do now to keep electricity costs down. Bryan Texas Utilities recommends starting with your thermostat.
"A good setting is 78 degrees and every degree that you go higher, you can save up to 8-percent on your air conditioning costs," Tim Kiersz with BTU said.
Other tips include using portable fans. They have a four degree cooling effect. Caulking windows from the outside, and weather stripping your doors. He also recommends running your air conditioner for 10-15 minutes, and cleaning your refrigerator coil. Your refrigerator makes up 13 percent of your entire bill, so Kiersz recommends taking the back off of the appliance and vacuuming the coil.

Big bucks a little call-leery? This photo realistic Antelope Buck Decoy has a 3D effect that'll attract and hold attention. But on top of that, it's the easiest Decoy you've ever had to deal with in the field.
The durable polyester fabric antelope buck is held up by a spring steel band and fiberglass poles with steel step stakes, which not only makes for lightning-fast set-ups and take-downs, but it also allows this 30 x 38"h. Decoy to collapse into a compact 2-lb., 13 x 10 x 2" package to fit in the Montana Decoy Carrier.
