Maple Leafs vs. Bruins Game 1 Pick
- Updated: May 1, 2013
Matchup: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins
Date/Time: May 1st, 7:00 PM ET
Television: CNBC
NHL Betting Odds from BetOnline Sportsbook
Moneyline: Boston -180
Total: 5
The Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs know all about each other, having played each other four times in this shortened season. The two are going to start a best of seven series against each other in NHL betting action on Wednesday night at the TD Garden.
The Maple Leafs are going to be thrilled to be at this point, as this is the first time in nine years in which they have been in the second season. This was the goal of the team this year, but now, the aspirations are a heck of a lot higher now that the team is here and is the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference. G James Reimer would probably be ranked at least 12th or worst amongst the goalies that you'd like to have on your team this time of year, so the offense is going to have to come up large. C Nazem Kadri has really been the star of the team this season, as he came out of nowhere to score nearly a point a game, just as he was doing in the AHL prior to the start of the season. The talent is definitely there to do some damage, and RW Phil Kessel is going to be leading the troops. You don't think of Toronto as a team that has averaged 3.0 goals per game this year, but that was exactly what happened.
The Bruins figure to be the superior of these two teams, but we aren't all that sure that's the case. They aren't playing the best hockey in the world right now, and they blew not just one, but two opportunities to win the Northeast Division title on the final weekend of the regular season. They have home ice advantage here in the first round of the playoffs as the No. 4 seed, but there is something to be said about a team's psyche after not winning its division when it really had to feel like it should have all season long. That said, this is a team that is only two years removed from its Stanley Cup run, and there isn't a heck of a lot that is all that different. Most of the front liners are still in place, and the only thing that has changed has been G Tuukka Rask, who was the backup net minder on that team. Rask has taken over for the departed G Tim Thomas and has played well this season, and he is going to have to be a star over the course of these next two months if Boston is going to once again hoist Lord Stanley's Cup.
The oddsmakers are really off base in this game. Go back and look at what Boston has done over the course of the last several games and tell us that it should be favored by a -180 margin against anyone in the league. Not only is the team just 2-7 in its last nine games, but those two wins came against Tampa Bay and Florida. We definitely prefer the Maple Leafs in this one, as they will win this game at least 40% of the time.
Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs +160

Weird to see that 10/12 of the last 12 years of draft picks have stuck around…
18 would actually be St. Louis or Dallas. Washington doesn't have a first round pick.
People put too much stock into where their team is drafting every year. A good GM finds value regardless of draft position. Ask fans of Cleveland or Oakland how is it to draft high every year. They'll be the first to tell you they'd much rather be drafting low.
On a side note, look at the players above that we drafted at pick 17 plus or minus 2: Pouncy, Timmons, Polamalu & Hampton. This gets me excited for draft day.
What do you guys think of Marquise Goodwin from Texas as a possible replacement for Wallace? The guy has speed.
Or ask the Texans what it's like to pick first every year.
Don't be shocked if the Steelers move down to obtain extra picks. They have a lot of holes, and are already over the cap with only 34 players signed. NT and ILB are obvious needs. G could be an issue with Legursky and Foster both Free agents and Willie Colon always broke. If Lewis signs elsewhere CB could be a need as Taylor is getting older, Allen is not proven and I wouldn't want Brown as my nickleback. Polamalu only has 2 years left under contract and has missed 33% of the games played in the last 6 seasons. I know everyone loves Troy, but is he worth $10 mill at this point. I don't see him signing another contract with the Steelers unless it's an extension that gives him an extra year or two with a cap savings for the club. RB well no one RB was consistent enough to win me over. TE Heath Miller is still playing hot, but the Steelers could do well with a 2 TE set.
I think the Steelers will get a deal done with Lewis so CB will be out as will S after they resign Will Allen who I feel earned serious consideration with some great play this year. ILB would be great but there is only 1 that would make sense and he'll be long gone by 17. This is a weak draft for ILB, S, and RB. That leaves NT, G, and TE. The Steelers are just learning to use 1 TE properly we can probably forget 2. I like NT Jesse Williams or G Chance Warmack.
I'd be shocked if they invested another first rounder in the O-line. There's really no need. You'd have an interior of 1st rounders. Maybe somebody in the 3rd if they are worried about Colon and somehow lose Foster and Legs. As for NT, I think they'd have to like a guy a whole lot. Considering how well McClendon handled himself and that they traded up for Ta'amu, I don't see them going so high on NT either. Is NT really worth a 1st rounder anymore?
If there's a CB there, you take him. Never enough good corners. Beyond that, pass rush is obviously the issue with the D. No matter DE or OLB, I think you take the best pass rusher available. I know it would hurt to have three 1st rounders invested in our ends, but I don't think Hood has shown himself worthy. And is Worlids really more than a good backup?
As bad as the offense performed, I think you have to invest in the D high. It's what the team is built on, and where the age is. You don't need a first round WR, or RB. The line has plenty of top picks lined up. Maybe a TE if someone like Heath or the new prototype is there. Heath is a question mark with such an injury at his age, and you have no one besides Paulson lined up for the future.
4 NFC teams went 7-9 and had Steelers(lost) been 7-9, by simple math they would've jumped may be 2 spots to 15 instead of 17…
With the 17th pick, the Steelers could revitalize the team. Colbert has done well especially with late round selections. But I believe they'll get better quality in the 1st four rounds plus the higher picks allow more flexibility to move up or down. I'm hoping for a monster draft.
Agreeing. Really need about 8 1st round picks to fill all the glaring needs, so all we can do is trade down.
Obviously they always go ' best player available' but I would hope OLB, Safety or TE in the first, maybe RB in the 2nd and if they dont re-sign K.Lewis (which would be insane after grooming him for a few yrs) they might grab a CB somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd Rds
You have to like the degree of players they've gotten picking in the teens, from Ben to Troy to Timmons, they have knocked it out of the park picking that high
Thats also because Cleveland and Oakland not only have poor front offices, but they have very poor player development within their systems
Excited to be picking there. Not sure yet what all the needs will be. If they re-sign K.Lewis and re-sign W.Allen then the DB/Safety position will be fine for another year (unless a TOP safety prospect falls to us in the early Rds) with Clark still playing lights out and the development of Cortez Allen we could wait one more year
While I like Paulson, the TE position could be a possibilty, we've all seen what Teams can do with two great TE's, but more than anything I think LB is a must with Harrison getting older and Woodley getting pushed around by lesser competition. Worilds had more sacks in 2012 than Woodley. Also if they let Foote walk (which would be crazy) then they'll need more ILB depth, Marshall Mcfadden can serve as backup inside, he has potential. Maybe get a RB in the 2nd Rd? Of course 'Best Player Available' is their norm, but man we do need LB's ..Carter & Sylvestor dont look like they'll pan out and B.Johnson is all but gone. I like A.Robinsons upside but if Worilds moves to a starting role, then we'll need another good LB outside for depth
The season has ended and as fans of a team that is not very active in free agency we know the next big on the agenda is the nfl draft. The Steelers were ravaged by injury this year and I personally believe we are one of the better teams picking before 20. Picking at 17 overall places Kevin Colbert in a position he must capitalize on. As far as needs go we will know alot more after the start of free agency but for now they appear to be:
CB- If Keenan Lewis leaves cornerback could be addressed
S- The Steelers are very strong at safety when healthy but with two injury-prone starters backups at this position are important.
OG- Willie Colon's play was above the line at his new position this season before being injured. The problem is this was his 3rd consecutive season ending on IR, but in a year where everyone seemed to end up on the IR, isn't it worth one more shot? I don't think it is. Colon has been a valuable member of the Oline since early in his career but I read in one of Dave Bryan's earlier post that the team can save 5.5mil by cutting him. The play that he injured his knee on was not an abnormal NFL play so I really do believe at this point Willie is injury-prone. Aside from the money I think the Steelers may want to upgrade the position anyway. Todd Haley was brought in and told to run the ball. Todd Haley definitely tried but again the Oline was not up for the task and we finished 26th in rush offense. Steelers fans should not be upset if they see the Steelers spend a first round selection on a Guard.
RB- Running backs come a dime a dozen but the Steelers can't seem to find one. Rashard Mendenhall appears to be out the door, giving Dwyer a contract scares me because of how many times hes shown up to camp out of shape, and Redman still needs to show improvement. Running back is the most injury prone position and there seems to be so many of them taking one high is not something I'm fond of, but the Steelers could take a back this year as early as Joseph Randle in the 2nd.
WR- If Mike Wallace is not retained then the Steelers will have a hole at WR. I am very interested to see what happens with this position. Do the Steelers intend on using Cotchery as a full time 3rd? If they draft a replacement to play then he'd probably be picked in the first 3 rounds, but throwing game snaps at a rookie is not the Steelers style.
MLB- This position can be upgraded in a few ways. Larry Foote needs to be replaced and the depth needs to be upgraded.
TE- Competition for David Paulson could be obtained. A lesser need.
As of now there are not an over whelming amount of options at #17 for the Steelers but it is very early and the draft is a 7 round process. So, here are a few prospects Steelers fans should be familiar with that maybe available after the 1st round:
Darius Slay-Miss State
Teammate of the highly heralded Jonathan Banks, Slay is a big physical corner who makes few mistakes in coverage. Both Jonathan Banks and Darius Slay are good scheme fits for our off-man coverage.
Tony Jefferson-Oklahoma
Tony Jefferson maybe the best safety prospect in this class. He is very instinctive and naturally gifted. His ability to stop running backs at the line of scrimmage from his safety position is very impressive. He consistently covers his assignment and is the member of his secondary who regularly comes up with interceptions.
Philip Thomas-Fresno State
Philip Thomas is a crafty player who plays an important role in Fresno State's run defense. Philip Thomas fills gaps, takes on blockers, and makes plays off the edge in the run game. He also has a nation leading 8 interceptions.
Larry Warford-Kentucky
A pure road grader, Larry Warford had his way with some off the best talent in the nation this season. Sheldon Richardon and Sharrif Floyd were both thrown around by Warford this season.
Travis Frederick-Wisconsin
It was my opinion that Travis Federick was the better than Kevin Zeitler last year. Frederick moved to center this season and Mike Tomlin values position flexibility.
Theo Riddick-Notre Dame
Riddick plays behind Cierre Wood but anyone who watches Notre Dame will tell you Mr. Riddick is nothing to sneeze at. Riddick is physical, lightning fast and is polished in the slot. He is a converted WR.
Stedman Bailey-West Virginia
Stedman Bailey(5-10 195) fits the profile of the type of receiver the Steelers have had success in drafting in recent years. Stedman Bailey should get credit for running a very polished route tree for West Virginia, as his teammate Tavon Austin handled the more gimmicky aspects of their spread offense.
Sio Moore-Connecticut
Right now Manti Teo is the only legitimate 1st round prospect the Steelers would consider for the Buck position but I encourage Steeler fans to give Sio Moore a good look. In everything I've seen hes shown strength at the point of attack, instincts to get to the ball carrier, great blitzing and rushing ability, and good feet in coverage. Keep a look out for Sio Moore.
Philip Lutzenkirchen-Auburn
He has had a somewhat injury riddled career but he has been one of Auburn's best players over the past 4 years. Lutzenkirchen is a strong in-line and lead blocker as well as a very capable receiver.
Thanks for the info… I disagree about Foote though, he does not need to be replaced, he just had one of his best seasons ever. I'd give him a 1-2year deal till Spence gets his feet wet or they can groom another potential draft pick. I also doubt they draft OL in the first Rd, they just drafted an OG last year and Colon under contract and the dead money involved if he was released is high. I dont believe its a 1st Rd need, especially if they re-sign Foster. I pretty much agree with all other assessments, especially Safety because Troy, Clark and Will Allen are all aging, they'll need some young talent there for sure and soon. I do believe Cotchery could easily be the 3rd WR
I agree the pass rush needs an overhaul, but Given The money they have invested in Woodley and the fact that Worilds has been serviceable in spot play I don't see OLB in the first 2 rounds. The Beard will be back next year, but I hope Heyward takes over as the starter by mid season if not earlier. I don't think they have given up on their 2 1st rnd DEs so that is out. You don't seem to understand the importance of a NT as it pertains to the pass rush. Think about when Hampton was younger and was always double and sometimes triple teamed. That left TEs and RBs to stop the outside rush instead of Ts on both sides. As it is with McLendon and Hampton they rarely get double teamed so they can at times apply the pressure themselves, but it is better to have speed off the edge. This season the OLBs had Ts on them or they were double teamed. Trust me a NT will do more than improve the run defense he is the linchpin of the pass rush as well. Joel Steed and Hampton, when they were healthy and young, it didn't matter which OLBs the Steelers threw out there.
This is off. The draft is by reverse strength of schedule. The Steelers strength of schedule was only 46.5%. The Rams had a tie so they would have moved to 17th.The Saints and Panthers are at 52%. The Bucs and Dolphins are at 50%. That puts the Steelers at 12th maybe 11th. The Chargers are also around 46.5% so I'm not sure who would be 11, but the Steelers would have been 11th or 12th. That would put them in a better position to get a good CB or NT, but they would probably have traded down unless the right underclassmen opt to enter the draft.

In the end, meditation is not about exotic sages, black robes, and following in the footsteps of someone else.
Which means that the definition of the opposite of meditation might be: "to be a toddler."
But what starts out as an angry letter to an air carrier becomes a meditation on his layover in life.
c.1200, "contemplation; devout preoccupation; devotions, prayer," from Old French meditacion "thought, reflection, study," and directly from Latin meditationem (nominative meditatio) "a thinking over, meditation," noun of action from past participle stem of meditari "to meditate, think over, reflect, consider," frequentative form from PIE root *med- "to measure, limit, consider, advise, take appropriate measures" (cf. Greek medesthai "think about," medon "ruler;" Latin modus "measure, manner," modestus "moderate," modernus "modern," mederi "to heal," medicus "physician;" Sanskrit midiur "I judge, estimate;" Welsh meddwl "mind, thinking;" Gothic miton, Old English metan "to measure;" also see medical).
Meaning "discourse on a subject" is early 14c.; meaning "act of meditating, continuous calm thought upon some subject" is from late 14c. The Latin verb also had stronger senses: "plan, devise, practice, rehearse, study."

Legislation was clarified in August 2012 to stop people from being forced to pay charges other than rent and a deposit. However, the first study of its kind by LSL Property Services suggests it has caused a rise in monthly rents, which now average £534.
It means tenants are paying an extra £26 a month rent on average than before the legislation was introduced. LSL said the increase, which came after around two years of stable prices, had been higher north of the border than in England and Wales.
Gordon Fowlis, regional managing director of Your Move, an estate agency chain that is part of LSL, said: "Tenancy fees were outlawed in Scotland with the well-meaning intention of protecting thousands of households reliant on rental accommodation. But we can see that in reality tenants are starkly out of pocket."

The song also cracked the country charts at number 32, making it the highest-charting debut single in country history, and helped stir up anticipation for his full-length album, which he recorded while preparing for American Idols summer tour. Clear as Day appeared in the fall of 2011 from Mercury Nashville, debuting at number one on the Billboard Top 200 the week of its release. It went on to be one of the better-selling latter-day Idol-related records, earning a platinum certification and producing another hit single in "The Trouble with Girls." The following year, McCreery released the seasonal Christmas with Scotty McCreery in time for the 2012 holiday season. In October 2013, McCreery returned with his second official studio album, See You Tonight. Produced by veteran producer Frank Rogers, the album moved McCreery into bright contemporary country-pop. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

I used it to rewire my rear speakers in my car. Should probably rewire my front speakers with this stuff too. I will wait until it gets warmer out!

Grand Junction resident Lou Zangerle had been investing money in Valley Investments for six years — long enough to feel he could entrust the firm with his retirement savings.
Now he regrets that decision.
The FBI and state regulators are investigating Valley Investments owner Philip R. Lochmiller, under allegations that he was an unlicensed person selling unregistered securities.
On May 29, the firm, which originally launched as Valley Mortgage in 1994, was shut down at the request of a Denver district judge.
A civil-court case has been filed by state Securities Commissioner Fred Joseph. No criminal charges have been filed, though some officials and investors allege Lochmiller was conducting a Ponzi scheme.
More than 400 investors remain unsure if their funds, which total more than $30 million, will be recovered.
Lochmiller's attorney, Cliff Stricklin, said the firm closed because of investments in the volatile real estate market, not because of a Ponzi scheme.
"Because of the economy, the business was having trouble meeting its obligations; that's why a receiver has been appointed," he said. "(Lochmiller) has a fantastic reputation as a neighbor and friend."
Stricklin is a former prosecutor whose high-profile cases have included the convictions of Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling of Enron and former Qwest executive Joe Nacchio.
A hearing on July 16 will determine whether the 61-year-old Lochmiller's personal assets will be frozen.
Grand Junction law firm Rider & Quesenberry is the court-appointed receiver of the company's assets and aims to gather and preserve them for investors.
"It looks like investor funds were being used primarily to pay other investors," said partner Kirk Rider.
For 71-year-old Zangerle, this means potential losses in the six-figure range.
"I had all my retirement savings with him, and the only income I have left now is Social Security," he said.
For years, Zangerle and other investors had trusted Lochmiller when he promised 10 to 16 percent returns on investments.
"I asked him several times in the past six years how he could pay this rate," Zangerle said.
Unknown to his investors, Lochmiller in 1985 pleaded guilty to 30 violations of state corporation codes while operating Lochmiller Mortgage Co. He was sentenced to three years in California state prison.
If clients had known about Lochmiller's criminal history, they would never have invested with him, said Bruce Bainter, a six-year investor who stands to lose $120,000.
Bainter, 67, said Lochmiller seemed trustworthy because he had several good references, was confident and was never late in delivering funds when withdrawals were requested.
Bainter recalled that in March, Lochmiller called about a special deal that a select few investors would be offered.
Lochmiller promised a 16 percent return on a minimum of $25,000, using the funds for a housing-development venture in La Junta, Bainter said.
"He sort of pushed me a little bit, which he had never done before," Bainter said. "That was a red flag for me."
But Bainter conceded and wrote Lochmiller a check for $40,000 in April.
"I'm still very hurt thinking he was a friend. I don't only hurt for myself, but I hurt for other people that are at this age and they don't have any way or time to replace that money," said Bainter. "What are they going to do?"
One couple now facing that question is Augie and Pauline Reyes. Both are searching for jobs after having invested $175,000 of their retirement savings over nine years in Valley Investments.
"If it would have been 25 years ago, it would have been no sweat, we could have found a job," said Augie Reyes, 75. "Now we lost everything we've saved in the last 35 years."

Plenty of new faces show up for latest Big Shell Cleanup
Billy grinned Saturday, along with plenty of his friends.
And, in turn, Big Shell is still smiling.
About 400 volunteers converged on a brisk and bright Padre Island National Seashore for the 13th Billy Sandifer Big Shell Beach Cleanup this past weekend. And the result is impressive, nearly 14 miles of clean sand.
There's no way to know for sure how many new recruits we attracted this year, but I spotted lots of new faces and a greater number of young ones. That would be fitting for what turned out to be a milestone for this 13-year tradition. More on this later.
Since its beginning and until Saturday, this most rugged of cleanups had removed an estimated 914,930 pounds of debris from a southern stretch of sand that begins roughly 13 miles into the four-wheel-drive section of the National Seashore.
It's a mysterious and unforgiving place that few of us visit and even fewer understand. And historically this undeveloped shore has been a dirty place, desecrated mostly by a never ending supply of illegally-dumped flotsam carried by currents that converge on the actual bend of the Texas coast.
To offset this curse, Big Shell has been aptly blessed with Sandifer and then blessed again with nearly 3,000 volunteers over the years. Sandifer has spent much of his life protecting this beach while unraveling and promoting its mystique.
Those first cleanups mostly involved volunteers who were familiar with this remote part of Texas. They came out of loyalty and reverence for Big Shell and for the man who knows it best. Some of Saturday's volunteers had never visited the National Seashore and certainly some had not ventured into the four-wheel-drive area.
Cleanup crews in the early days were an unshaven lot (metaphorically speaking), mostly surf anglers, Sandifer's friends, military veterans and social renegades with big trucks and a gritty determination to accomplish what nobody else would attempt. These veteran volunteers continue to make up the core of the cleanup and its organizational team.
Some of today's come-lately volunteers are softer and span a wider demographic, but they are no less determined. Again, this expansion of the effort was inspired by Sandifer and his ragtag army co-captained by Tyler Thorsen.
As a result, the event has assumed an air of legitimacy, which is laughable because it's always been an honorable effort.
Buzz Botts, park interpreter, said he uses the cleanup and its debris totals when speaking to visitors. This bring into perspective the trash problem for park visitors who comment on it. When he tells them about the tons of debris removed annually they leave with a better idea of the amount coming in.
Then Botts informs them that the real solution lies with enforcing the laws involving dumping the gulf. They're surprised that only a fraction of the litter is deposited by irresponsible beachgoers.
Businesses such as Ainsworth Trucking, Daniel Dain and Stephanie Benham with Domino's Pizza, Time Warner Cable Media, Trac-Work Inc., Halliburton, Fishbites, SmartShield sunscreen, Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine, H-E-B, Saltwater Angler magazine, TEXMAPS.com and CorpusFishing.com have become mainstay supporters of the event.
Organizations that come through include the Ruth Parr Sparks Foundation, CCA-Corpus Christi and Brush Country CCA, Sunny Beaches and Texas A&M; University-Kingsville Anglers.
Together this year we filled 3,177 large garbage bags with stuff that didn't belong on the beach. Park officials estimate these weighed about 115,500 pounds or 57.7 tons. But much of the debris removed would not fit in trash bags.
Volunteers also hauled off a rusty truck chassis, appliances, small buoys, barrels and lots of heavy lumber, which brings the total closer to 65 or 70 tons, park officials said. The effort overflowed three industrial dumpsters with a capacity of 30-cubic yards and one that holds 40 cubic yards. In addition, they filled a dump truck with debris from the beach.
Beyond the obvious, what does all this mean?
It means we surpassed our million-pound goal by nearly 20 tons.
Thanks to everyone involved and to future cleanup crews.

She's been saying NaKia ever since I started watching these clips. Its been about four weeks. Is that how Nokia pronounces it?
BTW. Cool shirt! Nerds forever!
I guess as long as she lets us see cleve, she can call it whatever she wants to,
However since she has been hiding those tits for a few weeks now, She needs to say NOKIA they way it is pronounced , not Nah-kia !

Vintage guy on Vintage Enduro
View Single Post
Studly Adventurer
Joined: Nov 2007
Location: sacramento
Oddometer: 555
the conditions for the 49er were almost perfect. the ground was moist from the rains, but not muddy. the temps were
comfortable/cool. there was some snow at higher elevations, but not too bad. only the last section (C-riders) was
snowy/muddy and rocky. this time they had the C-riders only do about 75miles of the course, while the A/B riders did
about 100miles.
I decided to ride the xr200r, since it's a fun bike to rider in tight stuff. people complain about the rocks on this course,
but t wasn't all that bad. the course was pretty easy/tame. there were some uphill rocky section where the sun was in
your eyes, so it was easy not to see some rock or root sticking out, but nothing happened. still having some trouble
with my timekeeping (I keep getting confused and then default to conservative), but I finished the course and turn not
burn any check (lol). I ended up riding with with someone I met during the first enduro I did on the same row and we
finished about the same time, while she did much better than I did. however, her husband broke his collar bone and
was out for the rest of the race. some of the people doing this stuff are really nice.
I did learn about a new way to hurt yourself riding motorcycles... at the gas stop I didn't screw my gas cap on all
the way and gas was spilling out over my legs/crotch area. of course, when we got to higher altitude and cooler air
with the combination of the wind on the faster section, was causing a lot of evaporative cooling of the gas and caused
some pretty severe frostbite. it hurt like hell and I almost froze my balls off, literally.
I went to the Dr. the next day because the areas that hurt the most during the incidence, didn't hurt at all at that point.
he said this was a first for him and diagnosed 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree frost burns. the 3rd degree parts still don't, while
the 1st degree partsare gone and the 2nd degree areas on my inner thighs still hurt a lot... that was the lesson learned
though. I guess this is what enduro is all about, a test of man and machine. you're doing it right when your weekend
activity warrants a Dr's visit...
all in all, besides the burns, I had a great time and I'm happy to have finally finish one. planning on going to cowbell
this weekend, if I recover enough.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are a different softball team, a better one, than last time it played against the Kentucky Wildcats.
Back in early March, MSU lost two out of three games at home to Kentucky, including being no-hit by Kelsey Nunley.
Since then, the Bulldogs have been on a journey that saw them win four games against top five competition in Alabama and Tennessee late in the season.
MSU coach Vann Stuedeman believes that kind of late-season success can translate into a good run in the SEC Tournament. The Bulldogs see the Wildcats again in today's first round at 3 p.m. in Columbia, S.C.
"We've grown a lot in the last half of SEC play in taking two from Alabama, two from Tennessee and two from Arkansas," Stuedeman said. "We've got a lot of confidence going into the tournament. We grew up a little bit and taking that step in the process from thinking they can do it to knowing they can do it. I think they have the mindset that they can win this tournament, take it one game at a time and one day at a time. They've proven they belong."

Great rain boot.
By Outdoor Gal
from Montreal
Love it's size..roomy enough for a thicker pair of socks, if needed. I ordered a size 10, the black glitter. There is no knitted sock insert...as per item description. The S. Channel folks ought remove that line from the web site. Easy to slip on and remove. The boot opening allows me to stuff boot cut pants into the boots to protect them from getting wet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hi-Def TV: Border patrol find pot in television
SAN DIEGO - SAN DIEGO (AP) - It gives new meaning to the term high-definition.
Border agents said Wednesday they have seized a flat screen television stuffed with more than $56,000 worth of marijuana at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing at San Ysidro.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said a 22-year-old Chula Vista man who was hauling the TV in his minivan was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling.
Agents said the young man was trying to enter the country Tuesday night when drug-sniffing dogs alerted officers to its contents. Customs agents inspected the television and found 36 cellophane-wrapped packages containing 112 pounds of pot.
Officials said the suspect, whose name was not released, is an American citizen.

The University of Benin was founded in 1970. It started as an Institute of Technology and was accorded the status of a full-fledged University by National Universities Commission (NUC) on 1st July, 1971. In his Budget Speech in April 1972, the then Military Governor of Mid-Western State, Col. S. O. Ogbemudia (then also Visitor to the University) formally announced the change of the name of the Institute of Technology to the University of Benin. On 1st April, 1975 the University at the request of the State Government, was taken over by the Federal Government and became a Federal University.
Today, the University has continued to grow from strength to strength with a number of Faculties, Departments, Institutes and Units.Following NUC's directives, the University experimented with the Collegiate System in 1991/92 and 1992/93.
However, in the light of new developments, the University reverted to the Faculty System except for the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Basic Medical Sciences, and Institute of Child Health which reverted back to the Collegiate System in August, 1999, with a Provost as its administrative head. The Faculties as presently constituted are those of Agriculture, Arts, Education, Engineering, Law, Life Science, Pharmacy, Physical Science, Social Science, and the College of Medical Sciences (which has three Schools: Basic Medical Sciences; Dentistry and Medicine; and the Institute of Child Health).
In January 2006, the Federal Government approved the take off of the College of Petroleum and Gas Engineering of the University of Benin at Effurun, near Warri, in Delta State, with the initial population of 100 students in two departments; Petroleum Engineering and Gas Engineering.
The University offers courses at various levels: Postgraduate, Undergraduate, Diploma and Certificate. Presently, the total student enrolment stands at over 40,000 made up of both full-time and part-time students shared among the various Faculties.
The vision of the University of Benin is to be a model institution of higher learning which ranks among the best in the world and is responsive to the reactive and innovative abilities of the Nigerian people
The mission of the University is to develop the human mind to be creative, innovative, research oriented, competent in areas of specialization, knowledgeable in entrepreneurship and dedicated to service
In 1969, the State Government set up a Planning Committee comprising the following eminent academics, experienced University administrators and top ranking civil servants under the Chairmanship of the then Acting Secretary to the Military Government, Late Mr. I.O. Afe (Chairman), Mr. G.A. Aghahowa, Mr. O. Akpata, Mr. G. O. Aiwerioba, Mr. W.J. Anukpe, the Late Dr. B.I. Aror, Mr. P.C. Asiodu, Professor E.U. Emovon, Mr. G.N.I. Enobakhare, Mr. E. Buckley, Professor T. Bello-Osagie, Mr. M.I. Igiehon, Mr. F.A. Ijewere, Dr. A.E. Ikomi, Mr. J.O. Illuebbey, the Late Chief D.R. Oduaran, Mr. S.J. Okodu, Mr. G.W. Sutherland, Late Professor H. Oritsejolomi. Thomas and Professor T.M. Yesufu. The Committee was directed to examine the feasibility of establishing in Benin, a University with scientific and technological bias and submit proposals with estimated cost. In March 1970 the Committee submitted its report. After careful consideration, the State Government promulgated in April, 1970, an edict establishing an Institute of Technology with three Faculties, viz: Science, Engineering and Medicine and Pharmacy.
Ahmadu Bello University was approached to help the new Institute in several areas including the teaching of pre-clinical medical students for the first three years in Zaria. This academic co-operation between the Institute and Ahmadu Bello University gave a booster to the former.
The decision to open in November involved some difficulties in the recruitment of staff especially since qualified Nigerians were already fully engaged for the 1970/71 Session. A recruitment team toured Britain, the United States and Canada in June and July 1970 and enjoyed appreciable cooperation from the Inter-University Council for Higher Education and the University of Salford, in the United Kingdom, and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of Oklahoma in the United States.
As a result of this overseas tour, reciprocal visits were made by delegates of universities from the U.S.A and the U.K. to Benin, for discussions in regard to areas of co-operation and assistance. Consequently, invaluable short-term secondment of staff particularly from British Universities was organized under the auspices of the Inter-University Council. In Nigeria, all the universities approached regarding staffing, co-operated by releasing interested staff at short notice.
On 1st July, 1971, the Institute was accorded formal recognition as a full-fledged University by the National Universities Commission. In his budget speech in April 1972, the Military Governor of Bendel State, Col. S.O. Ogbemudia, then also Visitor to the University, formally announced the change of name of the Institute of Technology to the University of Benin. This was necessary in view of growing misconception as to the exact status of the Institute and the difficulty of explaining that the Institute was a full-fledged university,
On 1st April, 1975 the University, at the request of the State Government, was taken over by the Federal Government and became a Federal University.

Servicom is a social contract between the Federal Government of Nigeria and its people as it underscores and promotes the right of every Nigerian to good service. It is in this light that the Serviocm charter and complain policy of the University of Benin examines the different services rendered by the institution and the standard for achieving high level of service delivery.
The charter was developed to ensure that the founding philosophy of the institution – ''Knowledge for Service'' – remains sacrosanct in the attainment of its vision and mission statements and to ensure the promotion of quality assurance and best practices in the performance of its statutory responsibilities.
Nevertheless, the history and value statement of the University and the expectation and obligation of the students, staff and stakeholders, which are central to the achievement of the University objectives, are also not excluded from the charter.
Moreover, the charter, in a panoramic analysis, also focuses on the sensitive nature of the needs of the physically challenged persons within the institution with a view to giving special consideration to their circumstances in the physical and infrastructural development of the University. The charter also examines the mechanism designed for resolving conflict – which is inevitable in any human institution.
Finally, I wish to appreciate the various Faculties, Departments, Deans and Directors who have contributed to the successful compilation and publication of this charter. I also wish to appreciate the Servicom Management Committee for their innovative, creative and continuous drive towards ensuring best practices with regard to service delivery in the University.
It is my hope that this charter will assist in building and promoting the spirit of excellent service delivery among all service providers within the University in line with the dreams of the institution.

Yeah... I'm not too fond of the practice of just giving the character the actor's first name, although I have done variants (like "Vaylin Zaand" for Billy Van Zandt's Rhaandarite character from TMP, or Marcella DiFalco for Marcie Lafferty's character).
DeFalco is one character I could live with never seeing again. All I can hear is that flat deliver of the line "Vessel is floating free now. No forward momentum" and I just want to stuff cotton in my ears.
Marcy Lafferty apparently got the gig solely by being married to Shatner. It certainly doesn't appear to be because of any acting ability.

Product description
In contrast to this view, recent theoretical advances in brain imaging have revealed that the brain is an organ continually built and re-built by one's experience. We are now beginning to learn that many forms of psychotherapy, developed in the absence of any scientific understanding of the brain, are supported by neuroscientific findings. In fact, it could be argued that to be an effective psychotherapist these days it is essential to have some basic understanding of neuroscience. Louis Cozolino's The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy, Second Edition is the perfect place to start. In a beautifully written and accessible synthesis, Cozolino illustrates how the brain's architecture is related to the problems, passions, and aspirations of human beings. As the book so elegantly argues, all forms of psychotherapy--from psychoanalysis to behavioral interventions--are successful to the extent to which they enhance change in relevant neural circuits. Beginning with an overview of the intersecting fields of neuroscience and psychotherapy, this book delves into the brain's inner workings, from basic neuronal building blocks to complex systems of memory, language, and the organization of experience. It continues by explaining the development and organization of the healthy brain and the unhealthy brain. Common problems such as anxiety, trauma, and codependency are discussed from a scientific and clinical perspective. Throughout the book, the science behind the brain's working is applied to day-to-day experience and clinical practice. Written for psychotherapists and others interested in the relationship between brain and behavior, this book encourages us to consider the brain when attempting to understand human development, mental illness, and psychological health. Fully and thoroughly updated with the many neuroscientific developments that have happened in the eight years since the publication of the first edition, this revision to the bestselling book belongs on the shelf of all practitioners.

Customer reviews
By Bryan Knight 26 Apr 2010
Who knew how correct my wife was when she sought a simple way to explain to our 5-year-old-granddaughter that, unlike her cardiologist father who heals hearts, her psychotherapist grandfather heals brains?
All forms of psychotherapy actually change the structure of clients' brains according to Dr Cozolino, university professor and clinical psychologist in private practice. New neural networks are established, largely as a result of the intimate relationship between client and psychotherapist.
Were Freud alive today he would no doubt be grinning ear to ear on reading Dr Cozolino's support for all his theories and in particular, Freud's postulation that one day psychoanalytical concepts would be buttressed by evidence of biological causation in the form of neural networks.
Even the concept of an unconscious [hotly debated in some circles] is explained as "hidden layers" of neural networks. The author skillfully weaves instruction about the composition and workings of the brain with client stories from his private practice and wisdom from his own life.
While much is still speculation, Dr Cozolino makes a strong case for not only the plasticity of our brains throughout our lives but for the (to me) amazing effects that we as psychotherapists can have on the brains of our clients and ourselves.
Brain imaging with MRIs and other technologies on living human brains has yielded a lot of knowledge about how the brain works and how we can change the neural substrata, including the initial templates inculcated by parents and caregivers when we were babies.
Frightening news is that the seat of fear - the amygdala - begins to cause us terror and trepidation even before we are born. It takes a long time until the brain is mature enough to counteract such innate fears.
Meanwhile, of course, we find comfort in the security of loving parents or other caregivers. If we don't experience such relief then fear-based neural networks are laid down and may influence us for life - or until intervention by a therapist helps to create new, positive neural networks.
Chapter 3 explains how various therapeutic approaches, particularly CBT (cognitive-behavioral-therapy) create changes in brain functioning. "In striving to activate cortical processing through conscious control of thoughts and feelings, these therapies enhance left cortical processing, inhibiting and regulating right hemispheric balance and subcortical activation" (p.40).
The fourth chapter describes in exquisite detail how psychotherapeutic interventions change clients' and therapists' brains.
A wonderful story from Dr Cozolino's practice in which he encourages a client to utilize a "magic tricycle" in his imagination to change his childhood wartime memories illustrates both the malleability of memory and the author's apparent unawareness that this is a common method used by hypnotherapists.
It's exciting to learn that when therapists help people to conquer stage fright part of the solution we hitherto unwittingly applied was to help balance their brain's hemispheres! (p.96).
Past lives, clairvoyance, â??deja vue' and similar paranormal beliefs may be made by the left hemisphere's attempts to "make sense of nonsense."
The placebo effect is alive and strong among therapists while almost totally ignored by physicians. Dr Cozolino expresses high hopes that such "nonspecific ingredients of a healing relationship will someday be interwoven with the technical aspects of modern medicine." (p.339).
Memory is not the inviolable videotape analogy beloved of by many hypnotherapists. According to Dr Cozolino, there are several memory databases including the crucial networks of the hippocampi which govern new learning and the ability to make inferences from past experience.
Since many clients of psychotherapists have suffered severe stress, it is the resulting damage to the hippocampi (shaped like seahorses on either side of the brain) that negatively affects memory retrieval.
The hippocampus memory system acts as a brake on the fear-arousing memories instigated by the amygdala. "In other words, the amygdala will make us jump at the sight of a spider, while the hippocampus will help us to remember that this particular spider is not poisonous, so we shouldn't worry." He adds that a proper balance of the two memory-systems "will allow us to stay close to others even when they cause us upset."
The implicit memory system explains why many clients as adults experience shame, a negative self-image and relationship issues. While conscious recall of abuse is absent, implicit memory is "likely to be centered around [having been] a source of annoyance, anxiety and disgust to their parents."
The author writes that silence on the part of the therapist is a tool that can bring implicit memory to the surface thus arousing the Freudian concept of transference which then (along with the therapist's self-awareness of countertransference) provides the therapist with rich information on which to base the client's emotional healing.
Before training to be a clinical psychologist Dr Cozolino spent years studying Eastern religions. This leads him to conclude ". . . . â??reality' is a construction of the mind which we take to be an external truth. So, at the heart of both dynamic psychotherapy and Buddhism is the fundamental belief that our conscious experience is a creative fiction subject to distortion."
He presents three illusions of consciousness:
1. "Our conscious awareness comes together at some specific location within our heads and is presented to us on a screen." This gives rise to the concept of being a spirit inhabiting a physical shell.
2. "Our experience occurs in the present moment and that conscious thought and decision making precede feelings and actions." Actually, claims Dr Cozolino, decisions are made from layers of hidden neural networks within the brain milliseconds before conscious awareness.
3. "A third illusion, which relies on the first two, is that our thoughts and behaviors are under conscious control." We underestimate the influence of outside forces, chance and the unconscious.
It is well known that our prejudices persist even in the face of contrary evidence, that we seek confirmation of our biases while explaining away facts that do not fit our preconceptions. These self-delusions may be fueled, claims Dr Cozolino, by the "tenacity of fear memories stored within the amygdala and our desire to avoid the possibility of danger in the unknown."
The task of the psychotherapist is to use her social brain to connect with and modify the brains of her clients.
The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy is an excellent 21st century update to Freud's campaign to bring the unconscious to consciousness. It is a fine contribution to the growing body of literature about the social aspects of the human brain and how complex is the issue of using our neural networks to study those same neural networks.
Psychotherapists and physicians alike could benefit from absorbing the challenges posed by the author, particularly his wish to see the psychotherapy of the future integrated with neurology.
An index and many pages of references allow the reader to pursue specific questions to better understand the final chapter, "The Psychotherapist as Neuroscientist."
Review quote
"If Kandel brought the viewpoint of a Nobel Prize neuroscientist, Cozolino delivers the informed perspective and integrative thinking of a master clinician in this updated edition...This beautifully written book is indispensable for anyone involved in the fields of mental health or public policy." "In his revised edition, Cozolino artfully traverses the gap between clinical practice and the emerging literature in neuroscience. By cleverly juxtaposing clinical examples with brain research, he demystifies psychiatric disorders and places them within an easy-to-understand neuroscience framework. Readers will come away knowing just how and why psychotherapeutic processes have a positive impact on the nervous system." -- Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Director, Brain-Body Center, Department of Psychiatry, University of Illinois at Chicago "A master clinician, outstanding teacher, and avid interpreter of a burgeoning literature, Dr. Cozolino is a welcome guide to this fascinating intersection of talk therapy, developmental psychology, anatomy, and neuroplasticity. In a reprise of his outstanding first edition, Dr. Cozolino brings readers up to date with this essential revision. Ten years of updates and a great deal of polishing will more than reward the returning reader or curious newcomer." -- John D. Wynn, MD, Medical Director, Division of PsychoOncology, Swedish Cancer Institute, and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington School of Medicine "Cozolino is a brilliant writer and wonderful story teller...Regardless of the level of neuroscience a psychotherapist wishes to add to their expertise I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The book also will be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of neuroscientists themselves, clinicians, policy makers and especially public mental health workers." "[E]xcellent...Psychotherapists and physicians alike could benefit from absorbing the challenges posed by the author, particularly his wish to see the psychotherapy of the future integrated with neurology." -- Dr. Bryan Knight

The College of Southern Idaho Horticulture Club is taking orders now for hand-pressed apple cider that club members will begin producing Nov. 10. All the cider will be pressed at the CSI Horticulture greenhouses on the west side of campus. This year's price is $5.50 per gallon.
Club spokesperson Lea Shanahan says orders can be taken now for cider that can be picked up any time between Nov. 10 and Dec. 23, including orders for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Discounts will be given on orders of five gallons or more. Arrangements can also be made for families to press their own cider at the greenhouse for those who prefer more of a hands-on experience.
Club members will be at CSI's Harvest Time Festival Nov. 11 through 13 with cider and caramel apple samples and will take orders at the event but will not have containers for sale in the Expo Center.
For information or to place orders, please call Shanahan at 404-3994 or email email@example.com
