|House: I still love Boston
|02.23.10 at 11:36 pm ET
The emotion ran both ways for Eddie House in his return to the same parquet floor where just last month he was raining down 3's on opponents and bringing fans to their feet.
On Tuesday night, a very appreciative House thanked the fans at TD Garden following Boston's 110-106 win over his New York Knicks.
House received a standing ovation from the fans following a video tribute during a first-quarter timeout.
"It was beautiful," he said. "I love the fans for the way they showed their love me and I have just as much back for them. I loved playing here. It was a great place. What a great run I had, winning a championship and having a chance again last year."
[Click here to hear from House and his reaction to his return to Boston.]
On going from team with goal to win championship to a team building: 'It's hard, just losing. That's the hard thing, I'm not used to losing. I haven't been on a losing team in quite a long time. That's the toughest thing about it is taking these L's. Keep competing man, as long as you're playing hard and trying to do the right thing. You can never be upset with yourself or your teammates. Everybody is trying to do the right thing and playing hard but for whatever reason we're falling short.'
On whether he was glad he returned to Boston was so quick after trade: 'It was no big deal. I didn't put any more weight on this game than I did my first game in Madison Square. Just play the game of basketball. It's the same thing just different opponent and just happens to be guys I played with before about a week ago. Just no strain on this game at all. I didn't try to come in and just automatically try getting my shots like it was something. I just played the game and let the game come to me. Just play the right way that's all I'm trying to do all the time.'
On what can he bring to this Knicks team: 'I'm just going to try to bring as much leadership that I can. As far as playing the right way. That's all it's about is playing the right way and competing. I'm not saying I'm the best defensive player, but we're going to try to do the best we can to put ourselves in position to be successful and keep helping if you get beat, and help him if he goes, and help someone else. We just got to continue to compete and it's about leading by example, not just talking about it.'
|Doc on Nate: 'You take your chance'
|at 8:16 pm ET
Doc Rivers wasn't pulling any punches or setting expectations too high before Nate Robinson's debut in a Celtics uniform.
"You absolutely look and watch on a guy's past history," Rivers said of Robinson's troublesome reputation with the Knicks. "It's a great indicator of what's going to be next. And yeah, we look at all that. I also look at his ability and what he can do on the floor. You try to make a decision on what overrides what and then you take your chance. We've taken chances on guys and some have paid off and some haven't but I'm willing to do that. I've always been willing to do that.
"I want him to be him on the court and that's one of the things I said. We didn't grab you, we didn't want you for the things you haven't done. We grabbed you for all the things you do on the court. As far as the other stuff, we'll see. We'll see how it plays out."
The coach said things were so rushed at the practice facility in Waltham on Monday – the only day the coaching staff has had to work with him – they had to have coaches come in to run the offense sets with no defense.
"One practice was [Monday] with no players," Rivers said of Monday's workout with Robinson running the point. "We ran our offense with Thibs [defensive coach Tom Thibodeau] at the two and Armond [Hill] at the three and it looked crazy. It looked awful, and it should have."
Rivers said it would be way too much to expect Robinson to pick everything up on the fly.
"Well, I don't know what he can grasp," Rivers said. "That's something we'll find out as the year goes on. We gave him way too much stuff [Monday] and we knew that doing it and then afterward, [Tuesday] we're just going to roll the ball out and just play. I think with a point guard, it's very difficult to integrate a point guard in your system like this on the fly like this so we'll do one set at a time for him.
"When he comes on the floor, basically we'll be a one-set team and it will involve him, trying to create. It's no secret to play basketball. We'll figure it out."
|Pierce out with right thumb, flu
|at 6:57 pm ET
Paul Pierce will miss the game with the Knicks with an injured right thumb and didn't make the trip into the Garden as he is also suffering from the flu. Marquis Daniels will start in his place.
"It's just a hurt hand so we're just going to go one day at a time," coach Doc Rivers said. "He's not even in the building tonight. He has the flu, too. He would've played if he didn't have the hand injury. With the flu, we just told him to stay home."
Rivers said he was not aware if tests have been performed on Pierce's right thumb.
"If we have, I don't know. I'm assuming we have but I actually don't know the answer," Rivers added.
|Nate: Willing to help 'by any means'
|at 6:11 pm ET
Nate Robinson promised his new teammates and fans that they are going to see a determined player as he begins his Celtics career in Boston. "It's a brand new start," said Robinson, who was seated next to Marcus Landry, the other player acquired in the trade with the Knicks.
"I'm just looking to keep my mind free and no detours. I'm on track and not looking for any detours. I'm just going to have my mind focused on the prize and that's to win games in the playoffs and win a championship and help this team to that by any means, whether I play one minute or 30 minutes, I'm going to be here whenever my number is called, I'll be ready to play."

|Cavs land Jamison
|02.17.10 at 11:20 pm ET
While the Celtics worked to acquire Nate Robinson, the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled off a major deal Wednesday, landing Antawn Jamison from the Wizards in a three-team trade that also involved the Clippers.
The cost for acquiring the two-time All-Star was relatively light as Cleveland surrendered just a first round pick, center Zydrunas Ilgauskus and the rights to 2009 second round pick Emir Preldzic. It is widely believed that Ilgauskus will be bought out by the Wizards and then re-sign with the Cavs after 30 days.
Cleveland also got one-time Celtic Sebastian Telfair, although his role is expected to be limited. The Wizards received Al Thornton and the Clippers took back Drew Gooden, who was just traded to the Wizards over the weekend by the Mavericks.
The upshot of all that is that the Cavs finally acquired their long-desired big man who can shoot from the outside, without having to give up young forward J.J. Hickson.
There had been rumblings over the All-Star break that the Cavs were interested in Phoenix's Amar'e Stoudemire, but that rumor went from white hot to ice cold in the span of 72 hours. Reports late Wednesday night indicated that Phoenix would likely keep Stoudemire for the rest of the season. (He has a player option this summer).
The stage is now set for the Cavs and LeBron James. They have the best record, the best player, and the prized late-season addition to bring it all home before James hits free agency. The pressure, however, will be enormous on them in the playoffs.
The Celtics play the Cavs next Thursday in a TNT game at the Garden. The two teams haven't met since opening day when the Celtics won 95-89 in Cleveland. The other main contenders in the East–Atlanta and Orlando–are not expected to do much with their rosters before the deadline.
|Doc: C's 'lean back too far on what they've done'
|02.08.10 at 5:31 pm ET
WALTHAM — Like everyone else, Doc Rivers has had his fill of his players saying they're better than what they've been showing on the court of late.
'I think when you have a veteran team, there are several pitfalls," Rivers said following practice Monday. "One, you're a veteran team. Two, we'll turn it on. I don't buy into that, never have. Three, leaning back on your past success. Your past success is no guarantee to future success. I think this team leans back too far on what they've done and we have to get to work on what we're going to do and I think that's what we have to do a better job of.'
[Click here to hear Doc talk about his team.]
In the words of a famous football coach who coached the Patriots in the 1990s, 'You are what your record says you are.' For the Celtics, a 32-17 mark is good for third in the East behind Cleveland and Orlando.
He paraphrased Bill Parcells for his players on Monday before, during and after a practice.
'Enough with the talk," Rivers said. "That's basically it. I had a Conga line in my office today. That's great, though. Guys want to do the right thing. I don't think we have bad guys on our team, I know we don't. But we have to do [right things]. All we keep talking, 'You're right and we're going to do it,' but we're not doing it. That's what we have to do.'
Monday was a good first step in a process that figures more like a grind as the team faces road games in the next two weeks against the Hornets, Lakers, Trail Blazers and Nuggets.
'They responded with a great practice so that's good," Rivers said. "But we have to, we have to get back to work, that workman's mentality. We have to get back to wanting to be the best defensive team in the NBA. We have to get back to executing better. We can't just rely on guys coming back off injury. That has thrown us off a little bit because of lack of practice time and all that, but I think that's becoming an excuse around here. Read the rest of this entry »
|Doc on Pierce for Weds: 'Wait and see'
|at 3:39 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics captain Paul Pierce was pulled out of practice early on Monday after coach Doc Rivers felt his star didn't look smooth on his strained left foot.
"Paul didn't do a lot today," Rivers said. "We actually pulled him out early. He was practicing and wasn't moving very well so just took him out. He's questionable. I think he's going to play but right now we'll wait and see."
Marquis Daniels, meanwhile, looked good in practice after his first game back on Sunday following left thumb surgery. The team was forced to move up their departure to Tuesday morning in order to get into New Orleans ahead of the parade Tuesday afternoon for the Super Bowl winners.

Qara or Kara (Arabic: قارة) is a Syrian city in the An-Nabek District of the Rif Dimashq Governorate. It is located between the Qalamoun Mountains and the Eastern Lebanon mountains range, 95 kilometres (59 mi) north of the capital Damascus on the road to the city of Homs. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Qara had a population of 12,508 in the 2004 census.[1] Its inhabitants are mostly Sunni Muslims and Greek Orthodox and Catholic Christians.[2]
It was the southern-most town in the Jund Hims military district of Greater Syria during the Umayyad Caliphate.[3] Abu'l-Fida described it in his Geography of 1321 as "a large village half way between Damascus and Homs. It is a waystation for the caravans. Most of its inhabitants are Christians. It lies 1½ marches from Homs and 2 marches from Damascus."[4] Since the 14th century Qara has been eclipsed by An-Nabek its neighbor to the south.

Aquino vows 1,000 km of farm-to-market roads
BACOLOD CITY—The Aquino administration, through the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways, is planning to build 1,000 kilometers of farm-to-market roads to support agriculture in general and the sugar industry in particular.
In a speech read for him by Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, President Aquino told members of the Philippine Sugar Technologists Association that the era of wasted public funds is over and "we are seeing roads and bridges built for the benefit of our countrymen."
"We are moving closer to realizing our vision of a strong and stable national agriculture," said Mr. Aquino in the speech.
Rafael Coscolluela, head of the Confederation of Sugar Producers Associations, said his group discussed with Alcala the need for the DA to also support the antismuggling campaign and research to further develop the Philippine sugar industry.
Sugar industry leaders have been complaining about continued smuggling and have asked the President to remove top officials of the Bureau of Customs, starting with Commissioner Ruffy Biazon.
Alcala said the road projects would be his department's priority.

Dang! I have been so set all the way through this pregnancy to be "Team Green" and have a big birthday surprise when baby is born but this weekend I found out that hubby, and our son, would prefer to know (never thought to ask his opinion until this weekend!)
So now I am torn! 20 ultrasound is tomorrow and I am second-guessing the "keeping it a secret" idea.
It would be kinda fun to have the ultrasound tech right the gender on a card in a sealed evelope and do a "reveal" party with friends this weekend (I like an excuse to have a get-to-gether with friends)
But I also still love the idea of it being a fun surprise too!
We found out with DS and I know this will be our last baby, so it would be kinda nice to try something different.
Ack - so torn and horribly indecisive!!
What would you say?!?

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2011
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2011 Insignia is layered with aromatics of dark fruit, cardamom, tobacco, Herbs de Provence and graphite on the nose. Fresh and lively this elegant wine boasts bright red cherry, blackberry and espresso throughout the palate with supple tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "The 2011 Insignia is showing beautifully today. The cool vintage has given the 2011 distinctly European leanings in both the flavors and structure. At the same time, there is tons of energy and pure vibrancy in the glass. It will be interesting to see where the 2011 goes once it is in bottle, but it is almost likely to require several years to fully come together. The 2011 is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc.
Range: 93-95 Points"
International Wine Cellar - "Good bright red-ruby. Blackberry, cassis, licorice, bitter chocolate and coffee on the nose, along with a whiff of eucalyptus. Nicely concentrated and fairly deep, with a medicinal cast to the black fruit and pepper flavors. Can't match the 2010 for sweetness and ripeness, though.
Range: 91-94 Points"
The Wine Advocate - "The 2011's deep ruby/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of bouquet garni, mint, red and black currants, tobacco leaf and licorice, and a surprisingly intense, full-bodied mouthfeel with more richness and intensity than I would have expected from this vintage. It is also precocious and can be drunk upon release or cellared for 15 or more years.
Range: 90-93 Points"

Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Joseph Phelps Vineyards is a family-owned winery committed to crafting world class, estate-grown wines. Founded in 1973 when Joe Phelps purchased a former cattle ranch near St. Helena in the Napa Valley, the winery now controls and farms nearly 375 acres of vines on eight estate vineyards in St. Helena, the Stags Leap District, Oakville, Rutherford, Oak Knoll District, Carneros and South Napa Valley. In 1999, the Phelps family added 100 acres of vineyard property near the town of Freestone on the Sonoma Coast, where Phelps now grows Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Phelps is best known for its flagship Napa Valley blend of red Bordeaux varietals, Insignia, first produced in 1974. Awarded Wine Spectator's "Wine of the Year" in 2005, Insignia is widely regarded as a qualitative benchmark for California winemaking. View all Joseph Phelps Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Katrina's Hidden Race War
New Orleans, of course, is awash in tales of the horrible things that transpired in the wake of the hurricane--and many of these wild stories have turned out to be fictions. In researching the Algiers Point attacks, I relied on the accounts of people who witnessed shooting incidents or were directly involved, either as gunmen or shooting victims.
Seeking to corroborate their stories, I sought out documentary evidence, including police files and autopsy reports. The NOPD, I was told, kept very few records during that period. Orleans Parish coroner Frank Minyard was a different story. The coroner, a flamboyant trumpet-playing doctor who has held the office for more than thirty years, had file cabinets bulging with the autopsies of hundreds of Katrina victims--he just wouldn't let me see them, in defiance of Louisiana public records laws.
After wrangling with the coroner for more than six months, I decided to sue--with a lawyer hired by the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute--to get access to the autopsies. (We weren't the first to take the coroner to court. CNN and the New Orleans Times-Picayune had successfully sued Minyard, seeking particular Katrina-related autopsies.) This past May, Orleans Parish district court judge Kern Reese ruled in our favor, ordering Minyard to allow me to review every autopsy done in the year after the storm. But I soon learned that reconstructing history from the coroner's mess of files was next to impossible, because the paper trail is incomplete. "We carried the records around in our cars, in the trunks of our cars, for four months and, I mean, that--that was the coroner's office," Minyard said in a sworn deposition obtained during the course of our suit. "I'm sure some of the records got lost or misplaced." [Read the depositions of Minyard and his chief investigator here.] Even the autopsy files we got were missing key facts, like where the bodies were found, who recovered them, when they were recovered and so forth.
Many of the manila file folders the coroner eventually turned over were empty, and Minyard said he'd simply chosen not to autopsy some twenty-five to fifty corpses. The coroner also told us he didn't know exactly how many people were shot to death in the days immediately after the storm--"I can't even tell you how many gunshot victims we had"--but figured the number would not "be more than ten."
Under oath Minyard proceeded to say something stunning. The NOPD, he testified, was only investigating three gunshot cases, all of them high-profile--the Danziger Bridge incident, in which police killed two civilians, and the shooting of Danny Brumfield, who was slain by a cop in front of the Convention Center. Minyard's statement buttressed information I'd gotten from NOPD sources who said the force has done little to prosecute people for assaults or murders committed in the wake of the storm.
I contacted the police department repeatedly over many months, providing the NOPD with specific questions about each incident discussed in this story. The department, through spokesman Robert Young, declined to comment on whether officers had investigated any of these crimes and would not discuss any other issues raised by this article.
Sifting through more than 800 autopsy reports and reams of state health department data, I quickly identified five New Orleanians who had died under suspicious circumstances: one, severely burned, was found in a charred abandoned auto (see "Body of Evidence," page 19); three were shot; and another died of "blunt force trauma to the head." However, it's impossible to tell from the shoddy records whether any of these people died in or around Algiers Point, or even if their bodies were found there.
No one has been arrested in connection with these suspicious deaths. When it comes to the lack of action on the cases, one well-placed NOPD source told me there was plenty of blame to go around. "We had a totally dysfunctional DA's office," he said. "The court system wasn't much better. Everything was in disarray. A lot of stuff didn't get prosecuted. There were a lot of things that were getting squashed. The UCR [uniform crime reports] don't show anything."
In response to detailed queries made over a period of months, New Orleans District Attorney spokesman Dalton Savwoir declined to say whether prosecutors looked into any of the attacks I uncovered. The office has been through a string of leadership changes since Katrina--Leon Cannizaro is the current DA--and is struggling to deal with crimes that happened yesterday, let alone three years ago, Savwoir told me.
James Traylor, a forensic pathologist with the Louisiana State University Health Center, worked alongside Minyard at the morgue and suspects that homicide victims fell through the cracks. "I know I did cases that were homicides," Traylor says. "They were not suicides." NOPD detectives, the doctor continues, never spoke to him about two cases he labeled homicides, leading him to believe police conducted no investigation into those deaths. "There should be a multi-agency task force--police, sheriffs, coroners--that can put their heads together and figure out what happened to people," Traylor says.
One of the suspicious cases I discovered was that of Willie Lawrence, a 47-year-old African-American male who suffered a "gunshot wound" that caused a "cranio-facial injury" and deposited two chunks of metal in his brain, according to the autopsy report. Minyard never determined whether Lawrence was murdered or committed suicide, choosing to leave the death unclassified. However, the dead man's brother, Herbert Lawrence, who lives in Compton, California, believes his sibling was murdered. Herbert tells me he got a phone call from one of Willie's neighbors shortly after he died. The caller said Willie, whose body, according to state records, was found on the east bank of the Mississippi, was killed by a civilian gunman. "The police didn't do anything," Herbert says, pointing out that NOPD officers didn't create a written report or interview any relatives.

moth fly (family Psychodidae), Luis Miguel Bugallo SánchezFrom Inverebrate Identification Manual by Richard A. Pimentel, © 1967 by Litton Educational Publishing, Inc. Reprinted by permission of Van Nostrand Reinhold Companyany member of a family of insects in the fly order, Diptera, that are small and mothlike and are commonly found around the openings of drain pipes. No more than 5 mm (0.2 inch) long, these flies have broad hairy wings that are held rooflike over the body when at rest, so that they resemble tiny moths.
The larvae, which feed on decaying matter, inhabit drain pipes and can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures. Most species are harmless, but there are bloodsucking members in the subfamily Phlebotominae, commonly called sand flies (see sand fly), which transmit diseases in some parts of the world.

Catalyst Paper Corporation is a Canadian paper manufacturer. Based in Richmond, British Columbia, the company produces paper and pulp for commercial printers, publishers and paper manufacturers in North America, Latin America, the Pacific Rim and Europe. Catalyst is western North America's largest mechanical paper producer, the region's only producer of lightweight coated paper and the world's largest manufacturer of paper for telephone and other directories. The company also makes market kraft pulp.
Catalyst owns a pulp and paper mill in Crofton (Crofton Division), and paper mills in Port Alberni (Port Alberni Division), Powell River (Powell River Division), and in January, 2015 acquired two mills in the United States in Biron, Wisconsin and Rumford, Maine. The company operates a distribution facility in Surrey for trans-shipping worldwide, and a sub-regional office in Miamisburg, Ohio. Catalyst's head office is located in Richmond. The company produces 2.3 million tonnes of paper and 500 thousand tonnes of pulp, and generates US$2.1 billion of sales.
The roots of Catalyst Paper date back a century, when the Powell River Company opened a newsprint mill at Powell River in 1912. Bloedel, Stewart & Welch, Ltd. started up their Kraft pulp mill in Port Alberni in 1947 and later added two newsprint machines. These two companies eventually merged into MacMillan Bloedel. The next branch of the family tree was British Columbia Forest Products Limited, formed in 1946 as a logging and sawmilling company. With extensive forest operations in British Columbia, BCFP built a solid reputation as a leading wood products company. The company diversified in the early 1950s, opening its Crofton pulp mill in 1957 and adding newsprint production in 1964, and soon was one of the province's largest integrated forest products companies. The third branch was Crown Zellerbach Canada, which opened a modern newsprint mill at Elk Falls near Campbell River in 1952 and later expanded into Kraft pulp production. In 1981, Fletcher Challenge of New Zealand purchased Crown Zellerbach Canada and renamed it Crown Forest Industries.
In 1987, Fletcher Challenge purchased BCFP. A year later, both companies were merged to form Fletcher Challenge Canada Limited. Gradually, the company began to sharpen its focus on pulp and paper as its core businesses. As a result, it sold its wood products and forest interests to other operators.
In 2000, Norske Skog, a Norwegian paper company, purchased all of Fletcher Challenge's pulp and paper assets, including its majority interest in Fletcher Challenge Canada. That fall, the company changed its name to Norske Skog Canada Limited. Its stock symbol on the Toronto Stock Exchange was NS.

(Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
In August 2001, Norske Skog Canada acquired Pacifica Papers, which had been formed in 1998 from the paper assets previously held by MacMillan Bloedel. With this acquisition, which effectively doubled the size of the company, the company assumed the new identity of NorskeCanada.
In December 2003 the company grew once again, with the acquisition of Newstech Recycling in Coquitlam. As Catalyst's Paper Recycling Division, the facility recycled old newspapers and magazines to create de-inked pulp that the company used to manufacture paper products. While all divisions used some amounts of recycled pulp, one paper machine at Crofton Division was especially dependent on this fibre source.
In October 2005, shareholders approved a name change, and NorskeCanada became Catalyst Paper Corporation. The company said it chose the new name so it could do business under its own unique identity, one that clearly differentiated it with customers and that accurately reflected its capital structure. The name "Catalyst" was also the name of the company's premium lightweight directory paper.
In February 2006, Norske Skog sold all of its remaining Catalyst shares, ending its association with the company.
By 2009, Catalyst was facing a steep decline in demand and prices for paper products (particularly newsprint) and an overcapacity of production in North America, along with high labour and property tax costs in British Columbia. Rationalization of its business was necessary; the company temporarily closed the Elk Falls mill in February, and reduced production at its other B.C. mills. The following July, Catalyst made the difficult decision to make the mill's closure permanent, and also permanently closed the Paper Recycling Division. The company closed the Snowflake Arizona paper mill on September 30, 2012.
In January 2015 the company acquired paper mills in Biron, Wisconsin and Rumford, Maine.[citation needed]

I don't understand the concern here. If you use a dagger, the skill is ... dagger fighting. If you use a bow, the skill is ... bow use. That is not abilities based. From how I understood it the weapon defines what in total can be done with it, the class defines what specifically you can do with it.

What people are concerned with is that the weapon/class locks you into 4 pre-set weapon abilities, that you never get access to more weapon skills or get to select your weapon skills (for that weapon).
So say, if you intend to play as one of the starting classes and have no interest in playing as one of the classes you unlock while playing, you will only have these 4 weapon skills throughout the ENTIRE game.
This can lead to a sense of no progression in terms of your weapon skills.
What most people are wanting (in this thread) are for the ability to have a wider selection of weapon skills that you obtain within one single class, so you can mix up your weapon skills and have more variety.
So everyone who is say, a warrior, doesn't have the exact same 4 weapon skills as every single warrior in the game.
I think one way they could do this, is to allow people to truly make their own classes. Instead of simply allowing us to mix and match 4 class abilities, why not allow us to mix and match weapon abilities from the classes? (Within the same weapon type of course).
So lets say a warrior uses one handed swords, while a berserker uses them as well. EAch of them has 4 different one-handed sword abilities.
So if you unlock both classes, you can then (while playing as either class) mix and match those weapon abilities how you want (with the more powerful ones obviously costing more to slot in, just like with class abilities).

Their reasoning on this issue is that they want classes to have an aesthetic identity. If you see a player using their weapon in a certain way, you know what base class they are. If you want to use a 2 hander and use SK skills while having different weapon abilities from the SK... There's nothing stopping you from getting another base class that can use a 2 hander and filling in their class skills with the SK's (Assuming the class slots are the same... There may also be more to base classes that they haven't talked about yet).
Edit: To go along with the aesthetics, mixing and matching weapon abilities may not make smooth animation sense at all. Different classes may hold weapons completely differently. For instance, holding a katana with the blade up or the blade down.
There's also no doubt a balance issue that's involved here I'm sure... but we can't really speculate about that until we see what the weapon skill sets are.
There's still a lot we don't know about these systems and it's not all because they haven't figured it out yet. There have been a bunch of tweets lately saying there's a lot they haven't talked about that we'll be hearing about soon. Who knows how gear may affect these skills and such.

That's what I don't get though, why do classes need such an "Aesthetic" identity? Why do we need to know someone's base class is "x" for?
The only reason I can think of is PVP, but really with the ability to mix/match class skills, is it really going to matter if you know someone's base-class?
They could open up the weapon skills like class skills and allow for a LOT more frreedom in terms of people making up their own classes.
They could still keep the aesthetics of the base class people play as (I think many people would LOVE to be able to pick which stance for their weapons they like and overall animations).

This is just a choice they're making I guess. They want said animation to only occur with said skill. Also, I edited my previous post when you were posting this; I think some of it has to do with fluency of animation as different classes will hold the same weapon differently. On top of that, balance becomes exponentially more difficult every time you add another degree of freedom into the class system (It's already going to be nuts with how much freedom they're allowing).
And just to be clear, I'd love to just go nuts mixing weapon skills as well hehe... but I personally see why they're doing it the way they are.
I'm more curious at the moment about what the caster weapon skills will be. AOE heals from a staff? Lightning shooting out of a wand?

Which again is what I said: you can't shoot with a sword even if you have picked a ranger-paladin mix as class.

You can mix and match the class abilities. You can not mix and match the weapon skills associated with the current base class you are playing as.
If you are playing a warrior and using a one handed sword, you have 4 set weapon skills. These skills are tied to you playing as a warrior.
If you have other classes unlocked which also can use a one handed sword, you can not "mix and match" their weapon skills.
In my example I said specifically mixing weapon skills of that same weapon type, I wasn't asking for shooting an arrow with a sword equipped or something absurd, just saying it'd be nice if you have unlocked two classes that have each the same weapon type and weapon skills associated with that weapon, if you could then mix/match those like you are able to with class skills.

And yes, I do prefer that to the sequels weapon system but I do think that GW2 did what it did for PvP balance issues. It is bloody hard to balance the number of skills GW had.
Now EQN seems to be PvE focused so there I don't see the need to lock specific weapon skills. Then again as I said earlier, we are not sure how things will work yet. If a certain sword have different attacks from another sword you could build your build based on certain weapons and that would work fine.
There are no real reasons in a PvE game for having the same attacks on a flaming sword as on a well crafted non magical one. If SOE took about 15 different attacks and mixed them on different swords it would work fine.

WoW clones have generally failed (most don't really fail but they fail to live up to expectations or the longevity of earlier MMORPGs) due to trying to be everything to everybody and especially due to too much focus on solo ez-mode and not nearly enough on grouping and challenge.
So along comes GW2, which isn't even really an MMORPG, it's a solo game with social elements. TESO will be the same sewage and it looks like EQN is going the same way along with starting out F2P, which is like admitting your game sucks and is fail right out the door. I guess we can call this POS style the "GW2 Clone" and try not to throw up.
WFT happened to real MMORPGs? There was nothing wrong with the style of the original games that established the genre - the group focus and emphasis on actually doing something (challenge) for your rewards was good. The games has a bit too much brutality in gameplay but that can be smoothed over. There never was a need to shift the genre into solo ez-mode and to dumb it down further and further until MMORPGs aren't even MMORPGs anymore.
You can still have a successful MMORPG without having tons of soloists around because those are the people who bail out first - as soon as the single player campaign mode is done (the solo ez-mode 1-cap leveling). Then they're off to help ruin "the next big thing" How about someone create an MMORPG for people who actually LIKE the genre - people that want challenge, want to group, and want to have a good game worth playing for years on end? Constantly trying to design MMORPGs for people who don't actually like the genre, don't want to level, don't have time to play, don't want to group - seems utterly moronic.
Premium MMORPGs do not feature built-in cheating via cash for gold pay 2 win. PLAY to win or don't play.

I dont agree that solo = easy
The designers of many games have made EASY SOLO content
Nothing stops them from making hard solo content, they just choose not to.
This goes hand in hand with the often stated but incorrect idea that casual players want easy mode.
not having 12 hours of uninterupted time 3-5 days a week made you casual in the eyes of some EQ guilds, even if you averaged 50 hours a week in the game
Along with the other great myth... RAIDing is hard and thats why its the end game and gets the best candy.
Well design small group content can be crazy hard and unlike a 40,36,60 man raids there is no where to hide in a small group, do your job perfectly of the group fails and they KNOW IT WAS YOU.
So.. Skills on weapons
Not totally different to ...must have TH axe to use this skill
as long as they include LOTS OF WEAPONS then it will be ok.
i.e warrior can use, dagger/s shortsword/s longsword/s TH sword, axe small large battle and so on and so forth
IF they just have a few weapon combinations per class it will be too simple (for me)

Please don't let this game have combat like Neverwinter Online.
I can take 8 buttons, but don't take away my ability to click on stuff, or make it so I have to point my screen at a target. Locking my first 4 to weapons kind of sucks, but I guess its better than locking me in to one weapon period.

I dont know if you guys remember in EQ2 when they introduced the AA system, the skill line were based on weapon skill, if you took the piercing line and used a sword, your aa's were useless, this failed so hard that they removed it, it would be very dumb from SOE to repeat that in EQNext in my opinion.

I think it makes perfect sense that the weapon you are wielding should have an effect on how you fight, at least for weapon-based abilities. It's being able to wield any equipment you want and still fight the same way that seems odd to me.
Now, for purely magical abilities, I could see an argument that weapon shouldn't matter. But this seems fairly open to debate, as magic isn't real and how it would be casted is sort of up to the imagination.
But given the choice between "weapon doesn't matter" and "weapon determines abilities", the latter is far more intuitive to me.
Now, making sure the different weapon choices are roughly equal in power and cool factor, that's a different issue. But balance will never be perfect. If being the "best" is a player's top concern, they will necessarily be forced into certain specs and abilities. Whether those are determined by weapon choice or not is sort of irrelevant. (In other words, even if staff Necromancer gets the same abilities as dagger Necromancer, Necromancer may still not have the "best" spells for a certain task. The question then becomes, "how attached are you to the Necromancer vs. being the best?" With a weapon-based system it simply changes to "how attached are you to using a staff vs. being the best?")

As for the orange text, the developers continue to deny that will be the outcome. Please give them a chance to release the product before assuming the worst about the game.
We might very well get a chance to see how this works in landmark soon, with the Adventurer class they announced.

Josh Barnett releases statement via his MySpace:
Many of you are wondering what's happening. What I can say is that when applying for my license, the CSAC asked for me to submit a urine sample for testing prior to granting my license as they do with everyone, I believe. It was not a random test. I had no reason to believe there would be any issues and went in to submit my sample at the earliest possible opportunity on June 25th. I never once thought there would be a problem.
My representatives and I are working to gather as much info as possible and handle this situation as best as we can. I am embarrassed and want for nothing more than to resolve this issue and receive a license from the State of California as I have done many times already and for other states as well.
I am very thankful for all the great family, friends and fans that still support me.
Barnett will have a hard time convincing the CSAC of his innocence. This is the second time Barnett tested positive for steroids. After winning the UFC heavyweight title from Randy Couture at UFC 36, Barnett was stripped of the belt after testing positive for three banned substances.

or I thought I had them cycled out of my system by then.
or his nutritionist fucked up?
everyone forgets that most fighters doesn't have a clue what goes into there food and drinks.
but we'll see how this plays out. looks bad for Josh, but who knows… i don't think Fedor would give a shit (he fought in Pride knowing that most of the Americans he fought used Roids)
EX-ACT-LY!!!! He may single handedly have knocked someone out….Atencio and affliction… In a round about way, he may have taken out Fedor…..if affliction goes down, the only big $$$ is gonna be UFC. He fights Brock there, Brock gets one of those shots to his dome…Fedor goes down.. because let's face it he hasn't faced anyone with Brock's striking power…..Way to go Josh!..Douche!
EXCLUSIVE: UFC 105 – Michael Bisping set to take on Wanderlei Silva
I see Silva getting the win by a knock out because he wont be scared of micheals punching power..its going to be a good fight
Niiiice hijack tom. I'll bite. silva vs Bisping gonna go similar to silva vs jardine. Probably not even that good for Bisping/ "glass joe" if he pisses off Wandi like he did hendo.
Barnett = Douchebag.
Masterone is a very weak steroid. It is more often used to counteract estrogen side effects caused by much stronger steroids.
why do you say Americans like your taking a shot at the U.S?
if your name is mike, you are dumb
Is Masterone what Barnett tested positive for???
HA HA This whole conversation basically sums up Mike on this page. Mike says something extremely stupid and everyone wants him to just stop commenting on this page.
A lot of hate to Mike here…
to much hate around here lately, yeah it was masterone that he tested for.
I wonder when they'll officially name a replacement for Barnett???
does it matter at this point?! really?..I mean the ppv sales were already a big question mark and now what?! a red hot last minute big name sub?…from where? without striking a blow…Barnett has taken down Attencio and affliction both. R.I.P.
I'm wondering if anyone will fight Fedor at Trilogy???And i agree with you Affliction is dying out…
Sad to see really, it wasn't for lack of trying. Or even not paying their fighters. Probably due to the contrary. Start early, before you've cemented yourself and try to land the Big fish by paying them all the $$$$…it left nothing in the reserves for plan A part 2 or even a plan B part anything.On the positive side….? Brock vs Fedor within the next year and a half? stronger likeliness now!
The worst thing about it is he's screwed over affliction worse than anything else. Ufc had thrown him away, didn't want him and now he has an opportunity to fight for the 2nd largest org's hw title and against Fedor Emelianenko no less! This is how he repays that favor?! The next match we'll see Barnett in will probably read like "Barnett vs…The people of the state of(insert name here)….your Honor"
sorry 'bout your luck, man. still room on the Brock bandwagon… hahahahah! or do like I do and try to find someone to really direct your anger and hatred at. That could be Brock, too. hahahahha. Who does affliction have that would even make it a match? What about Rogers?…better than Arlovski at least
Remember, it's not Barnett's first time testing positive for roids. He tested positive after he won the UFC belt and then left the organization to fight in Pride. I don't really keep up with the guy but from his last performance, I didn't see the #2 HW in the world. Always feel bad for the guy on the other end though, they should just reschedule it. I think Brett Rogers would be the most dangerous opponent for him though and also give Fedor the most cred. If he beats Belfort, I mean the guy is a MW now. Everyone will say that he beat up a better Matt Lindland. Monsoon has been off the radar since his fight with Sylvia, and Werdum hasn't fought since his KO by Dos Santos. At least Rogers is coming off an incredible KO win against the last guy Fedor Ko'ed.
Anyway they should just re-schedule the event
tom still hijacking threads like a douche I see.
And Jesus, if you are, at least do it with real news.
Not hear say rumors.
Fedor used drugs in Pride? prove please?
Americans that used drugs in Pride.
these are the only 2 that i know in the whole of pride that used roids…. yes i know "Americans" was a generalisation, but they both are Americans.
Viper. its funny how new several new people posted hate comments.
I really find it hard to believe that he tested positive for steroids. And for the 2nd time! WTF! When I look at him, the last thing I think is "roids"… Whata friggin' shame. I was really looking forward to that fight.
yeah, plus i was a fan of his and had been waiting for this fight for years. i will never defend him again very disappointing i even gave him a good chance at winning it.
nobody will be a decent match in 9 days, rogers is at least a true hw but i think belfort would actually give him a better fight, lashley would be to easy but might be good for ppv#'s i heard monson and even don frye have offered to fight him, not to interested in seeing that though. the card is still good even though this is a huge blow to it and really a lose lose whoever they put him in there with right now.
I agree, win, lose or draw it just lost all the shine they coulld muster for this event. As far as Bobby Lashley, I don't think lashley himself would have him winning a fight with fedor right now. He's been pretty savvy with crafting his record and experience at the moment. He really will need to hone his bjj if he's gonna ever contend, though.
Fedor used drugs in Pride too so what does he care. Barnett cant beat Fedor anyway. Im hoping in some way Barnett gets to fight Fedor. That would be bad ass.
Hilarious man
He fights Randy in his prime, uses roids. Fights Fedor, uses roids. I've never really been a barnett fan, but, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like he does this before a difficult fight. I'm sure he has had many more difficilt fights in between, but seriously. I did want to watch this fight though and I'm sure all of you are right, this is going to really hurt their PPV sales, especially if they don't find a halfway decent replacement to fight Fedor.
AFFLICTION CANCELLED! breaking news. wow that was such a HUGE disappointment. all because josh barnett used steroids. my source is sherdog. main page.

Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FSA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, William Blair International ("WBI") is required to include a disclosure about the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code (the "Code") or, where it does not commit to the Code, its alternative investment strategy. The Code is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers. Investors that commit to the Code can either comply with it in full or choose not to comply with aspects of the Code, in which case they are required to explain their non compliance. We have detailed below the reasons why WBI has chosen not to commit to the Code.
WBI pursues a long only global equity strategy that involves it investing in global equities, including UK equities. The Code is therefore relevant to some aspects of WBI's trading. While WBI generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, WBI has chosen not to commit to the Code. WBI invests in a variety of asset classes and in a variety of jurisdictions globally. The policies of the WBI in relation to engagement with issuers and their management are determined globally. WBI takes a consistent global approach to engagement with issuers and their management in all of the jurisdictions in which it invests and, consequently, does not consider it appropriate to commit to any particular voluntary code of practice relating to any individual jurisdiction.

Obama: Morning-after pill decision 'common sense'
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Thursday defended his health secretary's decision to stop the Plan B morning-after pill from moving onto drugstore shelves next to the condoms.
"As the father of two daughters," he said, "I think it is important for us to make sure that we apply some common sense to various rules when it comes to over-the-counter medicine." The president spoke the morning after his administration stunned major doctors' groups and women's health advocates with the decision.
Plan B is a pill that can prevent pregnancy if taken soon enough after unprotected sex. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius overruled scientists at the Food and Drug Administration who were preparing to let Plan B sell without a prescription to people of any age. Sebelius decided that young girls shouldn't be able to buy the pill on their own, saying she was worried about whether 11-year-olds would know how to use it properly.
Obama said Sebelius made that decision on her own. But he said he thought she was worried about young girls experiencing harmful side effects, saying "I think most parents would probably feel the same way.
For now, Plan B will stay behind pharmacy counters, available without a prescription only to those 17 and older who can prove their age.
Sebelius' decision is "medically inexplicable," said Dr. Robert Block of the American Academy of Pediatrics, one of a number of major medical groups that contends over-the-counter access to emergency contraception would lower the nation's high number of unplanned pregnancies.
Pediatricians say the morning-after pill is safe - containing a high dose of the same female hormone that's in regular birth control pills - especially compared to some existing over-the-counter medicines.
"I don't think 11-year-olds go into Rite Aid and buy anything," much less a single pill that costs about $50, added fellow AAP member Dr. Cora Breuner, a professor of pediatric and adolescent medicine at the University of Washington.
Instead, putting the morning-after pill next to the condoms and spermicides would increase access for those of more sexually active ages "who have made a serious error in having unprotected sex and should be able to respond to that kind of lack of judgment in a way that is timely as opposed to having to suffer permanent consequences," she said.
The move has election-year implications and angered many Democrats. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a member of the Senate leadership, already was asking Sebelius to explain her decision. But it also could serve to illustrate to independents, whose support will be critical in next fall's presidential election, that Obama is not the liberal ideologue Republicans claim.
Nor will this end the emergency contraception saga. In 2009, a federal judge said the FDA had let politics, not science, drive its initial behind-the-counter age restrictions and said it should reconsider. At a hearing scheduled in federal court in New York next Tuesday, the Center for Reproductive Rights will argue the FDA should be held in contempt.
Sebelius' decision pleased conservative critics.

Am I Insane? (distressed boat purchase?)
I''m looking at a late 70''s vintage C&C 34. It is priced aggressively and was recently run aground, and has had the keel and the rudder both completely replaced new.
Question is: Am I insane to be considering a boat (a) this old and (b) this distressed? Does the possibility of residual (unseen) damage categorically outweigh the the possibility that it might be ok? I mean I don''t want to be out and have a 35 knoter kick up and have the mast fall over.
Obviously, I''ll get a survey done. My question is, is that just a waste of time? I''ve heard most boat owners run a boat aground at some time. But this boat must have been run hard to have to have the whole keel replaced, right?
Bottom line: Should I look elsewhere?
Thanks for any and all insights. I''m a day sailor and am interested primarily in cruising, but some racing would be nice too.

The biography of Jedaiah ben Abraham Bedersi. This page has biographical information on Jedaiah ben Abraham Bedersi, one of the best poets of all time. This PoetrySoup page also provides access to the poet's poems, best poetry, quotes, and video biographies...if available.
Jedaiah ben Abraham Bedersi (c. 1270 – c. 1340) (Hebrew) was a Jewish poet, physician, and philosopher; born at Béziers (hence his surname Bedersi). His Provençal name was En Bonet, which probably corresponds to the Hebrew name Tobiah (compare Oheb Nashim in the Zunz Jubelschrift, Hebrew part, p. 1); and, according to the practice of the Provençal Jews, he occasionally joined to his name that of his father, Abraham Profiat (Bedersi).
Sorry, no poems have been posted.

Game Overview
Baltimore is the only NFL Final Four team to have to go the wildcard route to get to the conference title game. It won the AFC North with an overall record of 10-6 straight-up to finish as the No.4 seed in the conference. A relatively easy 24-9 victory over Indianapolis as a 7.5-point home favorite was followed-up with a stunning 38-35 double-overtime win over Denver as a 9.5-point underdog on the road. The Ravens come into this matchup 5-4 SU (4-4-1 against the spread) on the road this season and the total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games.
A big reason for the last two victories after stumbling to a 1-4 finish both SU and ATS in the regular season is the entire teams desire to send linebacker Ray Lewis into retirement on a winning note after spending the last 17 seasons anchoring the Ravens' defense. It is unwise to underestimate the power of this kind of motivation especially in a matchup where both teams are extremely familiar with each other having met in the playoffs in two of the last three years.
The Patriots were not only a prohibitive favorite to win the AFC East this season, they were 3/1 favorites to get back to the Super Bowl a second-straight year by winning the conference. Except for a shaky 2-2 start, things have gone pretty-much according to script with an overall record of 12-4 in the regular season and a 41-28 pasting of Houston as 9.5-point home favorites in last Sunday's Divisional Round. New England is 7-2 SU and 5-4 ATS at home this season with the total going OVER in seven of the nine games.
They played true to form in the win over the Texans with Tom Brady throwing for 344 yards and three touchdowns to complement a defense that gave-up over 400 total yards but found a way to shut its opponent down when it needed to the most. Look for the same formula this Sunday as New England continues its quest to become the first team to lose a Super Bowl and get back to the big game the following season since the Buffalo Bills did it for the third-straight time in 1994.
As mentioned earlier, these two teams know each other well with five meetings in the last four seasons. The Patriots have a slight 3-2 edge SU but the series is tied 2-2-1 ATS. The matchup in season's AFC title game came down to a missed Baltimore field goal to send the game into overtime. While things will probably not be quite that dramatic this time around, still stick with the Ravens to easily cover with the 8.5 points. New England 31 Baltimore 28

The odds of him suffering an injury that severely limits his effectiveness are much less than the odds that a prospect who has never been pushed to 200 innings in a season will.
That's not even touching the likelihood that a Bailey or Cueto ever reaches whatever potential they have performance wise.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Jay Bruce for Dan Haren.
I would make that trade if it was 1 for 1.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
I can't see them picking up Junior's option or extebding him, so I think now is the prefect time to deal Junior if you can. Especially if you can land a top three-type starter and take advantage of the excitement to offset any backlash from the casual fan. I'd hate to wait until the end of 08 and decline his option and possibly see a Barry-esque groundswell of emotion.
Then I would take any savings realized from moving Junior and apply the bulk to an extension for AD (say AD's current $13M + $4 or 5M from Junior). That's just what I would do if I was Grand Poobah. The Reds? Not so likely.

so if you can make 100 big trades, you'll almost certainly win out with the Bedards. Unfortunately, you only get to do a small number of these things. Good luck, Krivsky
I think that almost no matter what happens, the Reds have Jay Bruce pegged not to start Opening Day (for better or for worse.) They will bide their time with him in the first month or two, and as soon as one of the starting OF's goes down with an injury, you'll see Bruce get his time to shine.
Go BLUE!!!
Let's assume WARP is accurate.
There's definitely cases where a WARP of 25 over 3 years is
a heck of a lot better than a WARP of 38 over 6 years, by two players.
One example.. In the playoffs, do you want Haren starting the game, or
someone "slightly worse".. I want the ace pitching.
Not to mention that Haren averages 8.3 WARP per year. The other two
guys average 3.2 WARP per year. That's saying that for the first
three years, Haren is clearly better that the two players combined,
assuming WARP is accurate.
My goal is to make the playoffs in 2008 and 2009. My goal is not to
spread talent out over 6 years..That's a recipe for consistent 500 seasons.
Although I agree that if a team is rebuilding, the 38 WARP for 6 years is appealing.
I'm willing to defer worrying about who pitches in years 4-6 at a later
time. We can always make other acquisions.
It seems that the WARP analysis proves Haren is more valuable to a team wanting
to win now, unless I misunderstood.

Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
My guess is that we might get that out of one of them. The other guy will be a disappointment.
I have never seen a case where every top prospect for a team pans out to an above average player.
Remember Greg Jefferies when he was a Mets' prospect? Probably the one of the most hyped prospects in history. In the end, he turned out to be a journeyman..

I'm inclined to agree that the Reds see Bruce as a part of this years team. Goodbye Mr. Hamilton, we hardly knew ye.

In order to get a mortgage, especially one with a low interest rate, you usually need to have a good credit score. The most common scoring model is the FICO score, issued by Fair Isaac Corporation. Scores range from 300-850 – the higher, the better. Your score is calculated using data from your credit report, which is compiled by three bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A lender may check your score from all three bureaus or only one.
The following are the factors used to calculate your credit score:
Reviewing your credit report regularly is a good idea, but it is a particularly important to do so before seeking a mortgage. Even if you always make your payments on time and have a low level of debt, your credit report could contain score-lowering errors. Check your report at least 60 days before you plan to apply for financing, as it can take some time to resolve issues.
You can obtain your credit report from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion free once a year through the Annual Credit Report Request Service. Scores can be purchased for a fee. If you see any errors on your report, send a dispute letter to the relevant credit bureau(s) indicating which information is incorrect. They must investigate your claim and remove unverifiable information.
