Bobcats-Nuggets Preview
Denver Nuggets coach George Karl knows the Charlotte Bobcats will end their long losing streak at some point. He just hopes it doesn't happen against his club.
Coming off an awful shooting performance, Denver looks to bounce back by sending visiting Charlotte to its 15th consecutive loss Saturday night.
The Nuggets (14-13) had their three-game winning streak end with Thursday's 101-93 loss to Portland. They also broke a short-lived NBA record for futility by missing all 22 of their 3-point attempts.
The Trail Blazers held the previous mark for most 3-point attempts without a make after going 0 for 20 on Dec. 10.
"The rhythm of the game was not in our favor, and our guys seemed to be worn out a little bit,'' Karl said. "If you make two 3s it's a different basketball game - a totally different game. It's not time to panic or anything. We just didn't have enough shooters out there.''
Ty Lawson, Andre Iguodala and Corey Brewer scored 13 points each for Denver, which shot 50.0 percent from inside the arc, though, and nearly made a comeback from an 18-point deficit.
"We had a chance even though we shot terrible,'' Brewer said. "It shows that we can still win when we shoot bad, but we have to shoot better.''
Charlotte can't afford any more bad shooting nights as it's mired in another dismal losing streak. It shot 36.7 percent while falling 115-100 at Golden State on Friday and has dropped the first three on a four-game road trip.
Since the Bobcats (7-19) matched last season's win total with a 108-106 double-overtime win at Washington on Nov. 24, they've allowed 109.3 points per contest - the worst average in the NBA.
Still, Karl isn't taking Charlotte lightly.
"It always makes me nervous," Karl told the team's official website. "They're going to be beat somebody. They could've and should've beaten the Lakers (101-100 loss Tuesday). They played the Knicks in a close game (100-98 defeat Dec. 5). They're spiraling in a negative way, but they'll find a way to break it.
"Hopefully it's just not against us."
The Nuggets have won six of the seven all-time home meetings against the Bobcats, who got a season-high 23 points from Gerald Henderson and 12 points and a season-best 14 rebounds from Bismack Biyombo on Friday.
Kemba Walker scored 16 points but missed 11 of 17 shots.
"I thought we just kind of went cold,'' Walker said.
Charlotte has three losing streaks of 14 or more games over the last two seasons.
"We played hard but when you get down to execution ... there's a two-point disparity and the next thing you know it's eight,'' coach Mike Dunlap said.
Karl believes Dunlap is the right coach for the Bobcats despite the rough start to his tenure.
"The mental toughness of Mike Dunlap will keep him on point with what he has to do," Karl said. "Wins and losses are what we judge people by, but his team's getting better and playing at a better level."
Brewer's 17 points off the bench helped Denver overcome a game-high 21 from Henderson in a 99-88 victory in the most recent meeting March 30.

Real Human Tetrachromacy
Human tetrachromacy is the purely theoretical notion that a woman might, through a rare mutation on one of her two X chromosomes, end up having four different types of cones in her retina instead of the usual three, and therefore be uncannily sensitive to differences in color. But nobody's ever proven that this phenomenon exists in the real world-- Wait. They found one? (And nobody told me?!) Meet Concetta Antico, the tetrachromat painter. Her personal website is a bit self-congratulatory, but the science appears to be sound. It turns out Antico is not the first, either. A doctor known only as cDa29 was confirmed to have four-dimensional color vision back in 2010. [more inside]

Late in 2013, Guillermo del Toro released a voluminous book, entitled Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions. As he explains in the video, the 256-page hardcover is a selection from his notebooks, where the director developed many of the monstrosities we've seen on screen. The Guardian notes that there's something of da Vinci's notebooks in del Toro's records: the small, neat script, mixed in with the wonderfully detailed sketches, combine to give the impression of del Toro doing his best to record the torrent of his imagination before the thoughts disappear.

At the core of good science and engineering is the careful and respectful treatment of data.

Surprisingly, this careful treatment of data often breaks down when we visualize our data.

The evanescence of vision: a journey in search of sight
Into the Light
Humanity has paused on Jones Street near the summit of Russian Hill in San Francisco. Tourists, businessmen, café workers, the homeless – all seem to have taken a collective breather at this steepest of places, a city peak where stairs are carved into the sidewalks so people don't topple. Only one person keeps climbing, and he's talking, too; he's saying that you can't stop here, that if you just keep pushing, you'll see things no one else will see, that Macondray Lane is just over the hill and that it's the most magical place in all of San Francisco, but you'll never see it if you don't keep pushing, you'll never see Macondray Lane unless you really know how to look.[via Slate]
'How to Write for Money Without Selling Out Too Much'
io9: 'Everyone's A Sellout'
But the "selling out" thing isn't about whether the work is any good, so much as the question of "artistic integrity." Which assumes a simple model in which the artist has a "vision," that forms perfectly in her head, and she then executes that vision with perfect precision — unless she pauses to think about how best to attract an audience of paying customers, in which case the vision becomes compromised and, I guess, blurry. That business, of having a vision and executing it, describes none of the actual process of creating something from scratch, unless you're some kind of minimalist who writes a six-word story or just paints a big dot on a canvas.[more inside]

Captain Ultraviolet tells all
Late in life, Claude Monet had surgery to remove the lens of his left eye as a remedy for cataracts, and found that as the lens was no longer blocking them, he could now see ultraviolet light.* When Alek Komarnitsky, engineer and self professed geek, had the natural lens replaced in one of his eyes due to cataracts, he found that he, too could see UV. Naturally, he decided to test the limits of his newfound ability, and to show others what it's like to have ultraviolet vision.(*via Kottke)

SOURCE: Williams, Mark B. "Towards Reconciliation." In Endō Shūsaku: A Literature of Reconciliation, pp. 25-57. London: Routledge, 1999.
In the following essay, Williams explores Endō's use of character and technique in what Williams maintains is "a consistent search for reconciliation of the self."
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god: the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
(Hamlet, Act 2, sc. ii)
We have tacitly assumed, for some centuries past, that there is no relation between literature and theology. This is not...

Mt. Everest: Happy Nepali New Year!
Posted by: Dave Hahn, Seth Waterfall, Mark Tucker | April 14, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575'
Dress Rehearsal Day. We were up at 4 AM, breakfasting by 4:15 and throwing on our packs about an hour later. By the time we were getting our crampons on, it was just lit enough that we no longer needed the headlights. The goal today was a "practice run" up to the midway point of the Khumbu Icefall route. We were lucky in that there was very little traffic on the route this morning. Blame that on the New Year's observances, I suppose, but it all worked well for us. We moved up through the "first ladders" area and then up the steep and airy "popcorn" section. The word last week was that the route had initially been established with only one ladder… but without a doubt we went up and over at least fifteen ladders to the halfway mark. The glacier is on the move, with the route consequently changing a little every day. We had a quick snack in the morning shadows at the "Dum" short for the "gear dump" which used to be a halfway camp and or gear staging area in the mid point of the Icefall. Then it was down… carefully, since every cramponed boot needed to be placed exactly to avoid drop offs and crevasses. We did quick arm rappels down one little ice wall after another until we were able to get down below the first ladders and out of the zone where we were endangered by ice over our heads and voids under our feet. Life got better then. We were back to Basecamp for lunch and afternoon naps.
In the afternoon, the sky clouded up and it appeared to be snowing on the upper halves of all the big peaks. At three I went to the first meeting of team leaders. It was something of a reunion since everybody there was an Everest repeat offender. We tried to hammer out a few details about radio frequencies and placements for rescue gear, among other things.
It turned into a good afternoon for hiding in tents, but that was fine. We did good outside work in the morning.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Mary Jo Foley Talks on Scoble's Impact at Microsoft
Description:It's hard to find someone who knows Microsoft better than Mary Jo Foley, editor of the widely read and respected Microsoft Watch. I caught up with her today, a couple blocks from her Manhattan offices, to talk about Robert Scoble's impact on Microsoft, the way the news of his departure broke, and the prospects for his future endeavors at PodTech. She's a big fan of Robert and explains why the whole Channel 9 concept could be extremely successful for corporations around the world (1:07)

I was changing my wallpaper on my Razr Maxx, it didn't work.. It ended up being black instead of the wallpaper I'd chosen. Went back, tried setting the wallpaper again. Than my phone just shut off. The green notification light kept blinking every 4 to 5 seconds but the phone wouldn't turn on. Whenever I'd plug it in to my laptop or to the wall it just showed the droid eye. Than I did the hard boot on it, that ended up getting me to the lock screen.. but whenever it gets there I can't even unlock my phone! It's like the touch screen doesn't even work! I'm getting all my notifications right now, green light is blinking. Notification sounds are coming on. But the power button does absolutely nothing right now! The screen looks like it's locked right now. I tried a couple more hard resets, same thing happens every time. I've had a few issues already with this phone. 4G showing when I'm not in a 4G area. (I live in a non 4G area) Screen not locking until I push the power button a second time. Facebook pictures not loading, (could be the app but I did reinstall it) It's slower than when I first got it. When I first got it youtube videos loaded in like 5 seconds.. Now they load in like 15 to 20ish. Also whenever I try to get to the camera from the lockscreen, it always takes forever! I'll have to swipe to the camera again.. than it lags, and finally takes me to the camera. I'm going to go to Verizon if all else fails.. thing that sucks though is I bought this phone through AmazonWireless. So I don't know if Verizon is going to help me or not. Anybody have these issues? Any advice for how to get my phone to work, and than once it works, how to fix the other issues I have with this phone?
Sorry for all the trouble you're having. It sounds like the power button did work, but now doesn't? If you can get it to work, first I would try booting it in Safe Mode (link here) and see if that will get you past the lock screen. If not, then try a factory data reset (link here). If you've had it plugged in to an outlet (not your PC) for a few hours, using your Motorola cable and charger, and you still can't get the power button to work or the screen to unlock, I think you're going to have to call Verizon.
I can't even get my phone to unlock. I can take calls and slide to answer which is strange.. but here's what happens. I did that hard reset.. after it goes through the whole power up it takes me to the lock screen. Once I get there I can't do anything. It's like the touch screen doesn't work. I can't open the camera, or put the phone in vibrate, or unlock it. It ends up locking after awhile (like any phone) but than I can't hit the power button to show that lock screen. I tried doing Safe Mode, but all it did was when it finally got to the lock screen, all it showed was a black screen and Safe Mode on the bottom left. It didn't even show the time. I can't do a factory data reset because I can't unlock my phone to go into the menu. I charged it all night, and this happened soon after unplugging it. So the phone isn't dead. Yeah it's like the power button doesn't work. But after I boot up the phone I can lock it.. just not unlock it.
take it to Verizon NOW! my 1st maxx did the exact same thing plus started getting really hot. don't know how or why. Verizon said they had "never " seen this issue.got replacement, never happened again. good luck.
Can you do the following: Power up the phone by pressing the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + PWR KEY . The device will enumerate with different BOOT OPTIONS Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL and VOL UP Key to SELECT Select Recovery The device will start up with Motorola logo and power up to a little Android man logo with Exclamation mark Press the VOL UP and VOL DOWN Key together at this screen The device will display BLUE Text on a Black background . Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll DOWN and the PWR Key to SELECT the option desired . In this case , press the VOL DOWN key till the Wipe data / factory reset is selected and press the PWR key to confirm the selection . Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the PWR key to CONFIRM . The device will then start performing the Factory Data Reset Once the Formatting is complete , press the PWR key to confirm a REBOOT The message rebooting is displayed on the phone. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence . If not, then I think you have no choice but to call/visit Verizon.
Ok thanks. I'm going to try that once my phone is charged.. somehow it drained to 0% by doing absolutely nothing today. I'll let you know the results. If that doesn't work, do you guys know if I'll be able to get a replacement phone from Verizon even though I bought the phone through Amazon Wireless? Or will I have to call in and figure it out with Amazon?
Man.. I just did everything you said for that factory reset. It went to the sign into your google account after that whole thing. After that I was trying to back my phone up from my google account. Left it alone since it looked like it was going to take awhile. Than my phone shut off! Now it's back to where I was.. Thanks anyways. I never knew you could do that with this phone.
Looks like it's an app you have installed and when you did the factory restore, in the process of re-authorizing Google, the apps auto-loaded again and started the problem. During the initial setup, there are couple check boxes and one says you want Google to backup and restore your apps and settings automatically. You should uncheck that box and let it continue. It will finalize the setup but won't download your apps, and I am relatively confident the problem won't return this time. The unfortunate problem is that you will have to do the reset again now to get there and restore without the apps auto-loading. The good part is you shouldn't have to do it again. Good luck! :biggrin:
Try installing an app called Watchdog Lite. I think you'll find that there is a system process that hogs cpu and drains the battery. The process is called "suspend" and it's a known android bug that Motorola hasn't addressed yet. If you google "Razr suspend bug" you'll find plenty on the subject. Nobody seems to have been able to trace it to any particular app, but rather it seems to be in the OS itself at this point. Sometimes a factory reset will fix it, sometimes not. Those of us affected by it are waiting on pins and needles for the ICS OTA update. It's either that or turn it in to Verizon and get a new phone! (not sure if you'd get brand new, or refurbished though...) Jon

10 Priorities to Staying a Thriver
Spend at least an hour a week in the sauna to eliminate environmental chemicals and toxic metals stored in your fat cells. Carry out a 150 hour sauna detox (follow the sauna guidelines) at your own pace to eliminate approximately 90% of your total lifetime body burden.
Exercise at least 40 minutes each day or 4 hours a week, outside of your normal activities (walk, jog, swim, dance, cycle, rebound, use an elliptical machine etc.)
Sleep in a dark room, with no light from the street coming into your bedroom (get new blinds - not PVC - or wear an eye mask at night). Use a night light in the washroom. To keep melatonin levels high, avoid turning on a bright light at night.
Switch to using non-toxic cleaning products, like baking soda and vinegar to clean your sinks, toilets, fridge, stove, floors and counters. Avoid cleaning products with chlorine. Chlorine combines with carbon in your body to act like estrogen.
Avoid cosmetics, nail polish, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreens etc. containing parabens (methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl paraben), phthalates or PABA. Read labels and choose brands that are paraben and phthalate-free. Both of these chemicals act like estrogen. See
Drink water and keep any leftover food stored in the fridge in glass, ceramic or stainless steel rather than plastic. The plastic leaches bisphenol A which acts like the hormone estrogen. Look for fabulous Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottles.
Adopt a vegan diet. This means no meat, fish, eggs or dairy. Your protein sources will be legumes (lentils, chick peas, split peas, mung beans etc.), tofu, nuts and seeds.
Add 2 tbsp. of freshly ground flaxseeds daily to your cereal, juice, fruit smoothie, salad or bean dishes. (Use an electric coffee grinder to grind them. Eat them within 15 minutes after grinding).
Eat 2 tsp. of turmeric daily added to your food or take 1000 mg of curcumin in capsule form daily.
Spend 15-30 minutes outside exposing your arms and legs to sunlight every day or take 2000-5000 IU of vitamin D3 daily.

Reformed hacker Diana Highsmith hasnt left her house in over a year . . .
. . . not since she watched the man she loved fall to his death in the Swiss mountains. Now a grief-stricken recluse, she runs a thriving Internet security company from her homemeeting with clients in OtherWorld, an online virtual reality platform where she lives as her avatar, Nadia. The only two people Diana has seen live in the past twelve months are her sister, Ashley, and her UPS delivery guy.
But when Ashley vanishes, Diana is forced to do the unthinkable: to brave both the outside and her own personal demons to find her missing sister. As one shaky step leads to another, Diana finds that the trail she is following is fraught with peril for her and her sister bothas she uncovers a frightening web of deceit and betrayal that stretches from the virtual world into real life.
An award-winning mystery reviewer, Hallie Ephron is the author of Never Tell a Lie (a Mary Higgins Clark Award finalist that was also made into the Lifetime Movie Network film And Baby Will Fall) and the Edgar- and Anthony Award-nominated Writing and Selling Your Mystery. Ephron lives near Boston.
"Explores the dark side of cyberspace . . . Although COME AND FIND ME is at its core a breathless thriller, Ephron also explores the issue of personal identity in an age when we can pretend to be anything we want to be online."
-Connecticut Post
"Psychologically astute and emotionally gripping . . . Ephron understands that the fears we inflict upon ourselves can be more crippling than a man with a gun . . . A unique and compelling novel to be read more than once."
-Mystery Scene
"Propelled me from first page to last in a single sitting."
"A compelling yarn of deception and danger . . . a cautionary tale about the power of information technology . . . And although this novel seems to be a stand-alone, readers can hope that a sequel is not out of the question."
-Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Ephron excels in creating an authentic view of an agoraphobic for whom the mere thought of walking down the driveway to the mailbox can immobilize her . . . Diana's emotional fragility gives a unique perspective to this character's psyche."
-Times Leader

You may have seen or participated in the Oceanside Hospice
Society's 'Before I die' community art project located in both Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The displays asked people to complete the sentence, "Before I die I want to ." in order to increase awareness around the importance of consciously asking ourselves, What can I do that would add more quality and meaning to my life?
As one reads the responses, a variety of themes become apparent.
Connection and relationships with family and friends was tied with the desire to find true love as the most popular response (14%). Comments such as 'seeing my grandchildren marry,' 'hear my dad say I love you' and 'marry him/her' were noted.
Travel was the next most popular reply (13%). Many of the travel comments included activities (e.g., cycling, walking) which would indicate a clear purpose for the underlying reason for the travel.
Living in the moment/enjoying the simple things and living life to the fullest also generated a 13% response. Comments included, 'just be myself,' 'make the most of each day,' 'make a perfect easy-over egg,' and 'kiss in the rain.' World peace was also a popular theme at 9%, along with personal happiness/peace (9%) and achieving personal goals (e.g., learn to play an instrument) (9%).
Interesting to note were responses which appeared with low frequency. Only 2% of the comments referred to improvements or changes to body appearance. Those who mentioned changes referred to the proverbial weight-loss issue.
Also low in occurrence was the desire for monetary wealth, with again only 2% wanting more money (e.g., 'win the lottery' or 'be rich').
Reflecting upon our bucket list does make one pause to ask: What would give me joy? What would I regret not doing or at least not attempting?
Frequent reflection upon how we are living (or not living) our lives is an excellent way to keep us aware of and better aligned with living according to what matters most, living to our potential and creating a meaningful life. This may be the easy part.
The work starts with honouring the bucket list items. How long have we wanted to do them and why haven't we done them yet? Begin to identify the messages or fears that are blocking you taking action. Some of the negating thoughts may be, "Too old," "Not enough time," "I can't," or "Don't be silly."
We weren't born with these self-defeating judgments, so try to identify their origin (usually a parent). When the voices arise, stop the thought, and say, "This is not my voice, it is so-and-so's and it is not true." Then replace the voice with the truth, such as "I can do this," "Age doesn't matter," or "This matters to my well-being."
On behalf of Oceanside Hospice, thanks to all the volunteers, participants and funders for making this project such a successful event.

Castaway Lodge Fishing Report By Capt. Kris Kelley "A Note to Capt. Billy Tyne from Seadrift" "Up before the alarm to meet some Diet Coke and Wendi's breakfast tacos; guests are moving around; everybody made the wake up call. Ease down to the ramp and sense the wind velocity and direction; say hi to Jack Broom and talk some trash with the boys; not too many boats out today; cranking 20 knots Southwest pre-dawn; we're going Southeast again. Capts. James, Jake, and Doug are already in the water. Slip the Haynie "Mal Gato" in the water; catch a breath of exhaust on the air; my ears perk up with the sound of Mercury muscle on the wind; tie her up; check the bait; waiting on clients to come down from the lodge. Blast off at the crab house; the new Rev 4 is strong; we're doing thirty knots around the harbor jetty; little slip to Starboard, hit the jack plate and double tap the trim; smokin now. Coming up on breaklight; we're going shallow; hit the Pro Trim full up on the Bob's Jack Plate and peg the water pressure; the Pro XS is roaring. Drop her to a crawl on plane and ease into the kill zone; drift a little, bait is working already. Hit the Power Pole and burn our offerings down wind. Talk a little about technique; gal up front is already bowed-up; drag is screaming, it's ON. Solid Redfish on the move; I'm a fishing guide; and, I love it out here". Fishing has been going really well here lately coming off the Full Moon. Redfish continue to impress us working mud/grass shallows. Trout are coming off SAB shell mostly above the ICW in varying water conditions. The tide has been coming in steady from break light deep into mid-day. The wind has been doing a lot of damage to the water over night and pre-dawn then backing down shortly after break light. Fortunately, the inbound tide has been cleaning up the mess the wind makes overnight offering fishable conditions in many locations. That has put the Trout bite later into the morning for many and in some cases best around lunch time. Much of what I'm writing would parallel the 2009 drought conditions experienced here in SAB. We hope you have a great week and that your fishing is "catching". Come see us! Capt. Kris Kelley Castaway Lodge 1-888-618-4868 www.seadriftbayfishing.com
We will be making changes to our proprietary websites bringing some exciting new looks and features. Bare with us during this transition.
Castaway Lodge Seadrift Report By Capt. Kris Kelley Conditions have been a bear here lately and that's been holding us off full Trout limits over the last few days. Wind pops and slick-offs, from one extreme to the other, along with short duration tides have had us off on our timing at times. Wind kicked this morning with some squalls coming across the bay and that led Capt. Jake and James toward a focus on Redfish. I just got off the phone with James and it looks like full limits with some catch and release action as well fishing over mud/grass. Dirty water Trout has been on and off depending upon "just how jacked up" the water is. I hit an unfortunate rash of "smalls" as we were approaching limits on Friday and that held us short. So, if it's not one thing it's another and heading into Poco Bueno weekend you can count on some elevated winds. We'll be Scouting the Inshore Poco Division on Thursday with guests and welcoming other guests tonight through the Poco weekend. Hope you have a great week! Capt. Kris Kelley Castaway Lodge 1-888-618-4868
Kris, thanks again, Mark and Trish had a blast, just being on the water. James did a great job not just with the fish, laughing and joking, and of course giving me a hard time for missing fish. He made the trip really enjoyable for everyone. You've got a great business going for you and Wen
We have not quit reliving the day that we spent with you today. There is no way to tell you how much fun we had making memories with you. The coaching and fishing were not to be beat! You are the best and we can't wait to come back soon and share another beautiful day fishing with you again soon.
Dear Kris & Wendi:
Trent and I had a blast on the GATOR hunt. An 11' 400 lb gator is nothing to sniff at and I know we'll be happy with the mount and skin. You run a first rate outfit. I enjoyed the fellowship and the fine chow. Tell Jake & Jack they need their own reality TV show
Kris and Wendy,
Thanks for an awesome weekend! My dad, brother, and I really enjoyed ourselves. Dinner was superb on Fri night (cookies were delicious), the accommodations were clean and super-comfy, and of course the fishing on Saturday was excellent. I'm real glad we made it down there
Kris and Wendi
I can't tell you how much the guys enjoyed the Norm Invitational.
The wind kicked our ass, but we did catch some fish. You have the best guides. I believe Steve would have stayed out all day if we wanted him to. I am so glad my brother got to fish with you. This was

Ducks open spring drills this morning
Posted by Rob Moseley
Here's a story I filed Monday:
Oregon football coach Chip Kelly and quarterback Jeremiah Masoli met Monday morning and agreed that Masoli will remain with the Ducks in the wake of his plea of guilty to burglary and resulting seasonlong suspension.
Speculation abounded that Masoli might transfer rather than sit out a season as a redshirt before returning to play as a senior in 2011. In an interview last week, Kelly declined to comment on the quarterback's future other than to confirm Monday's meeting.
Though it's been decided he'll stick around at least for the time being, there is no indication yet of what Masoli's role will be once spring practice starts today, the second day of the university's spring quarter. So add one more compelling subject to follow when the Ducks hit the practice field around 8:45 a.m. today.
Storylines always abound at this time of year, hope springing eternal and all. But for the second straight season, Oregon is a hot topic both locally and nationally at the onset of spring drills.
In 2009, Kelly was making his debut as head coach and, having not yet hired a quarterbacks coach, he tapped his predecessor, Mike Bellotti, to handle the job. Now, the Ducks are coming off a tumultuous offseason in which four players were suspended and three others left the team due to rules violations.
Oregon officials are prepared for a larger-than-usual number of interested observers for the start of practice today, media and otherwise. If Masoli does make an appearance in some capacity, he's not expected to agree to interviews.
Placekicker Rob Beard and running back LaMichael James will both practice, Kelly said last week. Each faces a suspension for the 2010 opener against New Mexico on Sept. 4 in Autzen Stadium, after being arrested this offseason.
Still unknown is the practice status of linebacker Kiko Alonso, who is suspended for the upcoming season. Click here for the complete story.
The Register-Guard doesn't necessarily condone the comments here, nor does it review every post.

Defense of the Pac10 starts today, boy it seems forever since they played last.
BerserkerDuck, UltimaThule
Nice job of setting the stage for the start of Spring practice. Despite the long gray winter, there is plenty of blue sky ahead!GO DUCKS!!
Thanks for all you do Rob. Will be following your Twitter updates like Pavlov's dog.
Godseed, Gresham/Eugene
Hey Rob, Any chance of some pics or video of practice today? Another question, any clue why costa took first turn as qb today?
Daren, Vancouver, wa
Looking forward to your coverage of spring drills this year. Please don't feel compelled to give daily updates regarding what Masoli does, or doesn't do. It would be better if the attention and discussion be focused on players who have a chance to play and make an impact this fall. Masoli is irrelevant. If he sticks around, and is competing for the QB job one year from now, then I will be interested in what he's doing. Until then - who cares?
Coverage of the QB situation should be focused on Darron, Nate, and Daryle Hawkins - who will likely see the field at some point this fall which is pretty amazing given that he wasn't recruited as a QB.
I'm sure you're glad to be back covering action on the practice field, and not off of it. I hope us fans can focus our attention there as well and enjoy this month of spring ball.
Gary, Portland, Ore.
Only one thing matters regarding Masoli—that he stay in school and get his degree! That human challenge trumps everything that happens on the football field.
Duck This, West Linn
Daren, the Masoli story will remain interesting throughout. It'll be possible to cover two storylines at the same time, those on and off the field.
casey, Des Moines, IA
Masoli will be the least compelling story for me, since he can't play next year. I want him getting no more action than tossing passes to other players on the sidelines who also have nothing better to do. Obviously the reps have to go to those who have to get better because they're going to play.
Prediction: If Darren Thomas wins the job, best case scenario is Ducks go 7-5. He will throw a TON of INTs. Too young. If Dixon wasn't ready until his senior year (and he wasn't), I have trouble believing Thomas will be ready as a sophomore.
Dan Schulte, nopo
Chip Kelly is doing a great job. I find his decisionmaking to be well informed and designed to keep the teaching avenues open and the Duck football team winning. He will acheive both teaching and winning, and we will all benefit from the experience.
There is no doubt that many posters on these pages are not Ducks and do not our Ducks best interests at heart. Beware of Trojans, Beavers, and especially those putred Huskies. I have nightmares about the putrid rotting flesh between their decaying teeth.
Ducks 11-1 on 2011 -
DAn Schulte, nopo
oh, those rotting teeth, the hideous stench!!
Pacduneslooper, Bandon
Costa took snaps with the first team because he is the starting QB. Makes sense to me…
Well Thomas is a RS Sophomore, and DD didn't redshirt, so thats only one year difference. Throw in the fact that Thomas already has more experience running Chip Kelly's spread than DD did, so i wouldn't count him out just yet.
Look at Masoli, he became pretty successful in the spread in about 4 months. -
DJ-Pato, N. Marion
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Spring practice. Something to focus on that is positive. Looking forward to several weeks of articles, updates and the culminating spring game.
Go Ducks!
On Rob's twitter page, Masoli was throwing passes to Maehl. Everyone who thinks the Masoli story is over has forgotten about the Blount story. Blount was done also, and what do you know, he played that season.
I think Masoli will play next year.
I find it interesting that Silverton High School Just announced the hiring of a Coach whose son will be playing at OSU
Any comments Rob
The Captain, Eugene
Unless I'm mistaken, in spring practice there is no scout team so yeah, he was throwing to Maehl…and I have a feeling that so was Costa, Thomas, Hawkins and Haines (if they were in at practice). -
The Captain, Eugene
I'd say there's not much of a story to it, the kid signed as a QB with OSU already, being a member of the 2010 class. It sounds like a father wanting to be closer to his son while he's at school. Can't say I'd want to do anything different if I had the chance and my son was going to play football for a school in another state. -
ResilientDuck, Rip City
Dan, the disgusting description of your nightmares is going to give me nightmares. TMI.
FluffyDuck, NYC
Duckfan, that article makes me feel very old. Scott Gragg. I remember when the Giants drafted him ("huge, but very raw" was the analysis), and I absolutely can't believe he's 37 and it was that many years ago. Lord, time flies!
Sparrows345, PDX
A lot of you seem just peachy with the fact that because masoli cannot man up and forfeit his own scholarship that translates into a law abiding student having to pay his own way.
On another note, don't be surprised to see Bellotti mentioned to coach USC in 2-3 years.

Final Score: Buffalo 5, Toronto 4
Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - Thomas Vanek's two goals and one assist led Buffalo to a thrilling come-from-behind victory over Toronto, 5-4, in the first of a home-and-home set at HSBC Arena.
Jason Pominville had a goal and two assists for the Sabres, winners in four of their last five. Derek Roy notched a pair of assists, while Daniel Briere and Drew Stafford also lit the lamp.
Ryan Miller made 40 saves to earn the win.
Boyd Devereaux scored twice for the Maple Leafs, who have dropped three of four. Matt Stajan posted a goal and a helper, and Bryan McCabe notched his 12th goal of the season.
Andrew Raycroft stopped 29 shots in the loss.
The Sabres used a four-goal burst late in the contest to completely change momentum and win the game.
Down by three early in the third, the Sabres were jolted back to life when Vanek hammered a shot from the right circle that ticked off the far post behind Raycroft at 5:27 for a 4-2 game.
Buffalo kept the pressure on, and Briere's third chance at a stuffer try at the left side of the net finally squeaked through to cut the deficit to 4-3 with 10:42 to play.
Pominville completed the comeback when he was left alone up the slot, took a lead pass from Briere, and scored high to the glove side with 6:08 remaining.
Just 20 seconds later, Stafford tipped home a lead pass from Vanek and Buffalo gained a 5-4 edge.
"I'm pretty impressed with the comeback," said Miller. "I think they made a big error in sitting back on us after they got up in the goals. It allowed us to skate and our guys did a great job looking for holes and getting the passes. It was a nice turnaround."
Toronto furiously tried for the tying goal with Raycroft on the bench in the final minute, but the Sabres put up a roadblock at their blue line and escaped with a one-goal win.
"They don't give up, they kept plugging away," said Leafs captain Mats Sundin. "There's a reason they're where they are in the standings. I think we kept up with them pretty much the whole night. We get a chance to get back at them tomorrow."
Buffalo now holds the top overall spot in the NHL with 103 points, two better than the idle Nashville Predators.
Toronto remained two points behind Carolina and Montreal for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Buffalo struck first on the game's first power play, when Dmitri Kalinin blasted a shot from the point and Vanek tipped it home from the edge of the crease at 5:17.
Tomas Kaberle celebrated his return to the lineup by assisting on McCabe's blistering right point shot on a 5-on-3 advantage which drew the Leafs even with 1:05 to go before intermission.
Stajan snapped a 13-game goalless drought and gave Toronto a 2-1 lead by tipping home Steen's centering pass 4:11 into the second for the lone goal of the middle period.
Toronto went up 3-1 as Devereaux finished off a great cross-ice pass from Stajan on a 2-on-1 deep in the Buffalo zone 59 seconds into the third, and he picked up his second of the game just under three minutes later for a 4-1 Leafs advantage.
"I don't even think I'm able to describe it to you," said Leafs head coach Paul Maurice. "I mean the first period might have been our best period of the season. Simple plays that we are so good at stopped happening. All I can tell you is that we need to play our next game like we played the mass majority of this one."
Game Notes
Buffalo has won five of the seven meetings this season and 11 of the last 15 matchups...The Sabres improved to 25-9-4 this season when the opposition outshoots them...Kaberle had missed three weeks after suffering a concussion on March 2...Toronto finished 1-of-4 on the power play, and Buffalo was 2- of-7...Both teams face each other in Toronto on Saturday.

Add a CommentI have watched this one several times. It is very good! It shows that anyone can make a difference in other people's lives! Well done.. It seems to miss some factual info and editing could have been better. Yet, I highly recommend it! Make sure to watch the Bonus section.
A very moving documentary about the huge sacrifices one young man makes to make a positive impact on the world. Very good.
This movie puts this world into perspective, challenges the sense of meaning and purpose in each of us and answers what it is to be human.
This documentary is such a very common human story, with all of its foibles and issues. And yet, it is so very poignant, heartfelt and heartbreaking, and reminds us that all any of us are looking for is to belong to the human family, and wish to find the value in what ultimately provides us with fulfillment as people.
An amazingly simple movie providing a clarity we rarely allow ourselves to experience.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who questions the impact one person can have in this large and often confused world. I also encourage viewers to take the time to watch the many extras on the DVD.
The most moving and touching documentary I have ever seen.
What an amazing, loving, and
caring man this Rocky is. I
recommend this documentary
to everyone who wants to truly
see a shiny example of selflessness
and compassion.
A very powerful film. If you are from the younger generation - Rocky Anna is a guy who "put his money where his mouth is" so to speak. He didn't talk about making a difference, he committed to it. If you are part of the older generation, and wonder how well these 'whipper-snappers' are going to take care of this place... Rocky Anna is a source of hope and inspiration.
I saw this special on PBS and then on DVD. So amazing. Really makes me think, could I give everything up to help others? Finished in tears. I wish some people (famous) would watch this and realize material things won't bring happiness. Use that money for the goof of others. These kids are desperate. A MUST SEE!

The kings of MLS finally have their rings.
The LA Galaxy players and coaches received their 2014 MLS Cup championship rings on Monday at a private ceremony at WP24 in Downtown Los Angeles. The rings which were designed by Tiffany and Co. feature the Galaxy crest emblazoned in diamonds with a special touch of gold prominently showcasing their record fifth MLS Cup title. Along the frame of the ring, the player's name and the final score of the 2014 MLS Cup are shown while at the bottom, the Galaxy's playoff rallying cry "First To Five" is engraved.
"It was breathtaking," said Gyasi Zardes. "That's my first ring ever and it was just crazy to see my name engraved on the side of it. Oh my goodness."
Added A.J. DeLaGarza who now has three MLS Cup title rings in his possession, "I love them all, but this ring is pretty sick."
Galaxy fans will have a chance to have a ring ceremony of their own on April 12 when the club holds a replica ring giveaway when LA hosts Seattle Sounders FC. The first 15,000 fans through the StubHub Center gates will receive replica rings honoring the 2014 MLS Cup champions courtesy of Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Below are select social media posts from Galaxy players showcasing their rings.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy open the 2015 MLS regular season on Friday, and will do so with a near clean bill of health.
First team regulars A.J. DeLaGarza, Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the Galaxy's final preseason game of 2015 on Saturday, but Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says that the team will be close to full health when they open the season on Friday against the Chicago Fire.
"I think that we're in good shape heading into the first game. We've been very conservative with our players this preseason. Given that we had such a long year last year, we didn't want to kill anybody. We're just taking it in stride. We'll be fine... They're all here training."
The Galaxy will not begin their CONCACAF Champions League campaign for nearly five months, but Bruce Arena says that the club will do their best to win the continental tournament.
Currently, MLS entrants D.C. United and the Montreal Impact are long shots to reach the semifinals of the now rebranded Scotia Bank CONCACAF Champions League which may force MLS to wait another year for the a team to challenge for the regional championship. During the 2015-16 tournament, the Galaxy will be joined by D.C. United, Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC who will attempt to become the first team to win the title.
Winning the Champions League has been a tall order for MLS clubs, and according to Arena, it will continue to be a challenge for MLS teams if the schedule remains the same.
"We want to win it," said Arena. "Unfortunately for our league, it's not fair for our teams to play this competition in February. We're put behind the eight ball right away. It's the job of U.S. Soccer and MLS to work with CONCACAF and provide some dates that allow us to be more competitive in the competition.
The LA Galaxy will begin their MLS regular season campaign on Friday with 19 teams gunning to take away their title as MLS Cup champions. Typically that places a bulls-eye on the winning team, but that's of little matter to Bruce Arena.
When asked on Monday if the Galaxy will face considerable pressure this season to repeat as champions, the LA head coach and general manager responded in his typically glib manner.
"Yeah, bring it on. Whatever. I think that's what I signed up for," Arena said.
Even if the Galaxy will head into the season as the favorites to repeat as MLS Cup champions, Arena is eager to get the season started.
"We don't need anymore preseason," Arena said. "I'm sick of it. I'd rather be criticized right away."
MLSsoccer.com's Rachel Bonnetta previews the LA Galaxy's 2015 season with a little help from Jason Saghini, Taylor Twellman and more.
CARSON, Calif. -- Edson Buddle will be a member of the LA Galaxy again by the end of the week.
Buddle has been sidelined recently with an injury, but head coach and general manager Bruce Arena confirmed that the 33-year-old forward will be joining the club by the start of the 2015 season.
"We'll get that done this week," Arena told reporters after practice on Monday.
The veteran forward will be joining the Galaxy for a third time having spent time with the club from 2007-10 and again in 2012. Buddle has a total of 99 appearances for the Galaxy in all MLS competitions, having scored 32 goals and six assists in two stints for the Galaxy.
Buddle is one of eight players in MLS history to score 100 regular goals in his career.
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The LA Galaxy were without several key pieces when they ended the preseason with a 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes, but head coach Bruce Arena expects the full team in training next week.
Galaxy regulars Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the club's final preseason preseason match due to unspecified injuries, but according to Arena, they'll be on the training field on Monday when the club ramps up their preparations for Friday's MLS regular season opener against the Chicago Fire.
"All our guys will be back next week," said Arena.
The Galaxy boss was also optimistic about the status of defender A.J. DeLaGarza who has missed the entire preseason with a bone bruise in his left leg.
"He'll be in full training on Monday," Arena said afterward.
MLS Insider has dropped a sensational piece on the LA Galaxy's "First to Five" championship run.
The video piece features interviews from players like Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan while also providing inside looks at the team during their MLS Cup final victory over the New England Revolution.
Check it out above.
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano scored as the U.S. U-17's demolished Cuba 5-0 in their Group A opener at the 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship.
Joe Gallardo scored three times while Alejandro Zendejas and Arellano rounded out the scoring for Richie Williams' squad. Midfielders Christian Pulisic and Luca de La Torre each tallied two assists in the Americans' confident victory.
Arellano needed just five minutes to put the U.S. ahead as the U-17 captain smashed a Pulisic corner into the back of the net for the opening goal. In the 40th minute, Pulisic played the distributor again as he found Joe Gallardo from close range for the irst of his three on the evening. Just three minutes later, Zendejas pounced on a failed Cuban defensive clearance and tallied his fourth goal of his U-17 career.
Once the second half began, Gallardo left no doubt of the Americans dominance as he combined with de la Torre twice for goals in the 65th and 88th minutes to seal the win.

Mortgage Originations Seen Dropping 30% in 2014
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Mortgage origination volumes could fall as much as 30% in 2014, driven by a dropoff in refinance activity as mortgage interest rates rise, according to a report Tuesday by KBW analysts Bose George and Jade Rahmani.
The analysts forecast residential mortgage origination volume of $1.15 trillion in 2014, down from almost $1.8 trillion in 2013. That is slightly lower than the Mortgage Bankers Association's forecast of $1.2 trillion.
Purchase activity, however, is expected to be strong with a growth of more than 10%.
Increased competition for business should also pressure gain-on-sale margins, the spread that lenders earn from selling mortgages in the secondary market. KBW expects margins to decline by another 15% in 2014.
The outlook for the mortgage sector as a whole is mixed. "We generally expect declining earnings from the mortgage originators and title insurers, more stable earnings from the mortgage servicers and increasing earnings from the mortgage insurers," the analysts wrote. KBW is positive on mortgage insurers including Radian (RDN - Get Report), MGIC Investment (MTG) and Essent Group (ESNT), which are poised to benefit from the continuing shift away from the Federal Housing Administration. It is also bullish on holders of mortgage servicing rights such as Home Loan Servicing Solutions (HLSS)and New Residential Investment Corp (NRZ). It is neutral on mortgage servicers including Ocwen (OCN) and mortgage banks, with the exception of Penny Mac Mortgage Investment Trust (PMT), on which it has an outperform rating based on valuation. KBW also continues to believe the common shares of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) are worthless and that housing reform is unlikely until at least 2015.-- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

Mexico ends losing run, beats Japan
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (AP)
Javier Hernandez sent Mexico home from the Confederations Cup on a high, heading in twice to clinch a 2-1 victory over Japan in their final Group A match.
With seven goals in his last eight games for Mexico, the 25-year-old Manchester United striker has now climbed up his country's all-time scoring leaderboard to third spot, which he shares with retired forward Luis Hernandez.
''He's always been a very insistent, determined player,'' said Mexico coach Jose Manuel De la Torre, who also managed Hernandez at Guadalajara.
''He's highly competitive, and has a huge dynamic and sense of timing in order to score ... and that is what has taken him to be at these very high levels with Manchester United. Now he's simply responding with these goals for the national team.''
After struggling to threaten in the first half at the Mineirao Stadium, Hernandez met Andres Guardado's cross in the 54th minute and headed in again in the 66th from Giovani Dos Santos' corner.

Shinji Okazaki pulled one back for Japan in the 86th and Hernandez won a penalty in stoppage time, but his weak effort was saved and he then sent the follow-up against the crossbar.
Both Mexico and Japan were playing only for pride, having been eliminated from the Confederations Cup by losing their first two matches at the 2014 World Cup test event.
''We have an unpleasant taste in our mouths - we don't like seeing our team being eliminated early from a tournament,'' Hernandez said through a translator. ''But Mexico at least made it to the (Confederation Cup) finals ... and this victory helps us in building the confidence back.''
Although Japan leaves Brazil having finished bottom of its group without a point, the team's return trip to Brazil is already guaranteed. The Asian champions were the first World Cup qualifiers while Mexico is still slugging it out for a spot from the CONCACAF confederation.
Japan was the speedier and hungrier initially, picking up where it left off in Wednesday's slender 4-3 loss to Italy. Using their pace down the flanks, the Japanese were displaying the dynamism the Mexicans were lacking at first.
Japan striker Shinji Okazaki found the net after 10 minutes from the edge of the area, but it was ruled out for a border-line offside decision. An early effort from Shinji Kagawa was blocked by the boot of goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who also easily collected a low strike from Keisuke Honda. For all the creativity and slick passing, the Japanese had nothing to show for its domination.
Mexico eventually got a foothold in the game, with Jesus Zavala heading over from a free kick and testing goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima with a long-range effort that was turned wide. Only the post prevented Mexico going in at half time in front, with Andres Guardado given the space to meet Jorge Torres' cross with a free header that crashed against the woodwork. The Mexican momentum carried over into the second half, with the team looking sharper as Japan faded.
Hernandez soon began to find himself in goal-scoring positions, with defender Hiroki Sakai throwing himself at the ball to deny the striker's first effort of the half. The Japanese defense was finally breached as it failed to track Hernandez in the penalty area and headed in twice, from a cross and a corner.
''You could say there was little petrol in our tank,'' Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni said through a translator. ''He was very good at headers even though he's not that tall. If you look how we conceded goals, our defense line was all there and we conceded goals because of high play ... it wasn't the case of the opposing players outnumbering ours,'' Zaccheroni added.
Dos Santos has been one of Mexico's most dangerous players in Brazil and, on the turn, twice unleashed powerful shots that Kawashima did well to keep out. As Mexico pressed with confidence, Japan struggled to gain control of the ball, and the finishing was deficient when it did, with Ryoichi Maeda and Yasuyuki Konno striking wide.
The consolation came when Okazaki was left in space in front of goal to meet a cross from captain Yauhito Endo. And Hernandez's penalty miss - after being fouled by Maya Yoshida - ensured the result was the same as when the sides met at the 2005 Confederations Cup.
