CES 2008: Toshiba launches two HDDs
Toshiba has entered the external HDD market with a 1.8-inch device and also launched what it claims is the industry's highest capacity 2.5-inch external HDD at 320GB.
The 1.8-inch External HDD uses USB 2.0 technology and comes in 60GB, 80GB and 120GB capacities.
Because the 1.8-inch HDD is designed for mobility, Toshiba plans to include encryption and backup software with its 1.8-inch line to protect data should the HDD ever be lost or stolen.
The product also will include a USB cable and will be bus-powered for plug-and-play operation.
The second launch is the 2.5-inch External HDD with 320GB of memory.
It can store up to either 91,000 digital photos, 84,000 MP3 music files, 142 hours of DVD videos or 37 hours of high-definition videos.
The 2.5-inch external HDD line inherits Toshiba's click-free, switch-free and button-free backup system, using NTI Shadow software.
All of the new launches feature a revamped design and so as "sleekier" than previous models.
The new models feature a "stylistic design in a sleek finish, along with a splash of color available in Carbon Grey, Hot Rod Red and Gecko Green".
In addition, the redesigned 2.5-inch external models offer a nearly 20% smaller footprint than the previous line.
Toshiba's new 1.8-inch external HDDs will be available this spring, while the 2.5-inch 320GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive is available now.
The 320GB 2.5-inch external HDD is $199.99, while there is no price at yet for the 1.8-inch devices.

trying out wildstar, not really impressed sadly. i have the same issue i had with guildwars 2 where every single character looks either retarded or just not to my liking. now if there were a jaw/cheek slider maybe i could have made something better but this is the best i could come up with.
nose too round, mouth too wide (both already on smallest size), cheeks too pointy. overall face too wide, eyebrows barely scalable and too big, not enough hairstyles/color options. body proportions ****ed, i mean look at those arms lol. sorry but a character i like is one of my most important aspects to a game. the gameplay and graphics could be top notch but if the character creation is lacking then its a no-go for me.

When DNA gets sent to time-outJanuary 6, 2015 10:21 am | by Catherine Kolf, Johns Hopkins Univ. | News | Comments
For a skin cell to do its job, it must turn on a completely different set of genes than a liver cell—and keep genes it doesn't need switched off. One way of turning off large groups of genes at once is to send them to "time-out" at the edge of the nucleus, where they are kept quiet. New research from Johns Hopkins sheds light on how DNA gets sent to the nucleus' far edge, a process critical to controlling genes and determining cell fate.

Premier discusses surgery in the U.S.
Premier Danny Williams says he feels better every day as he recovers from heart surgery performed in Florida earlier this month.
In a telephone interview with Transcontinental Monday evening, Williams talked about the surgery, his confidence in the province's health-care system and his desire to get back to work.
Premier Danny Williams says he feels better every day as he recovers from heart surgery performed in Florida earlier this month.
In a telephone interview with Transcontinental Monday evening, Williams talked about the surgery, his confidence in the province's health-care system and his desire to get back to work.
Williams had a mitral valve repair procedure at Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami Beach Feb. 4.
"I'm doing fine," he said.
"Now it's just a question of letting your body recover. Just getting your strength and getting your endurance back."
Williams has known he would have to have heart surgery since late spring when his family doctor in St. John's found a heart murmur.
He was referred to two local cardiologists, who discovered after tests he had a moderate mitro valve tear.
By December, doctors discovered the tear had gone from moderate to severe.
"It was their advice I get this (surgery) done outside of the province," Williams said.
When he inquired about getting a less invasive procedure done in Canada, Williams was told he would likely have to settle for the more traditional procedure which would involve cutting his sternum and opening his rib cage.
After looking at various options, he got a second opinion from a leading cardiac surgery in New Jersey who is originally from this province.
Dr. Lynn McGrath highly recommended he see Dr. Joe Lamelas at Mount Sinai.
The procedure Lamelas performed involved making a small incision below Williams' armpit and using special instruments to repair the damaged valve.
"As a result, there's minimal physical damage to your body," Williams said.
Besides that, there's a decreased risk of infection, less bleeding and a much shorter recovery time, which was the premier's biggest concern.
But Williams said the two-hour surgery lasted about 6 1/2 hours after doctors found more damage than originally thought.
Still, Williams was out of intensive care in a couple of days, out of hospital in less than a week and is gradually getting back to form.
"Your heart and lungs have to rebound and you're supposed to take that gradually, which is not something I'm used to," he said.
The premier said he has "full confidence" in the province's health-care system. "All my testing was done here, my diagnosis was done here, I've had other surgeries," he said. "If this surgery would have been able to be done in Burin I would have gone to Burin."
But he said when he got involved in politics, he didn't give up the right to choose where he could have surgery.
"It's my heart, it's my health and it's my choice," he said.
"It was an unselfish solution because I'm looking to try and get back on the job ASAP."
He then laughed when he admitted the idea of having a less painful procedure also appealed to him.
During his recovery, Williams has been able to enjoy watching the Olympics on TV, but has also kept abreast of issues at home through e-mails and conference calls.
"You know me, I'm a workaholic. I don't like to be away from work," he said. "It's a luxury to watch the Olympics, but it's not my preference, if I can be quite honest."
Williams also thanked all the people for the many cards and letters he's received.
"The strength that gives you at a time like this is enormous."
He still expects to be back at work sometime in March before the House of Assembly opens. And there's a possibility he may make it to Vancouver before the Olympics end, if his doctors give him the OK.

When I was little I wanted to be a forensic psychologist, an astronaut, an actor, a whale, an FBI agent, a pirate, a cowboy and a circus artist. I am extroverted, introverted, athletic, curious, extremely sensitive, tough as nails, serious, calm, energetic, empathetic and a good listener. I'm always working towards being the best communicator that I can possibly be. I'm ambitious in my personal goals as well as my career. I'm dedicated to those who are close to me.

Finding short-term category help
J.R. Smith, Marreese Speights, Jose Juan Barea among best available
Updated: February 17, 2012, 3:39 PM ETBy Josh Whitling | Special to ESPN.com
At this point of the season, stat-stuffers with all-around game have been plucked off most waiver wires. If you need a boost in several categories, the best, and perhaps the only, way to acquire it is through a trade in which you identify your surpluses and ship them away to address your deficits. But if you need help in just one category, the waiver wire is a prime place to find it. Players who shine in one category but are unowned in most leagues due to their inability to produce across-the-board ...

Button on tires:
Button: 2013 tires easier to understand
February 22, 2013
Jenson Button is certain the 2013 Pirelli Formula 1 tires will offer a fair playing field despite their high degradation.
Although the rate at which tires lose performance has been a dominant theme of preseason testing so far, Button said that there has been no problem understanding how to get the rubber working, unlike last year.
"This year is more difficult in terms of graining than last year, but in terms of understanding the tire it's a lot easier," he said. "You can get it in its working range, and you know by lap three or four it's going to start graining.
"Compared to last season, it's more of a fair playing field. Last year there were teams who could the tires working but not know why. It was just because their cars worked with those tires. Other teams really had to fight to get those tires to work. They were really on a knife-edge.
"It took us six or seven months to really get a handle on the tires, like a lot of teams, whereas these tires are different. They're much easier to understand and easier to get in their working range."
But Red Bull's Mark Webber believes the revised tires still have potential to deliver 'random' results in another way. He argued that the anticipated high number of pit stops and difficulty in finding grip increased the prospect of top teams tripping up.
"We know when you have multiple stops and a lot of degradation in the races, there's more chance for things to go wrong, so there can be mixed results," said Webber.

If you're careful you can find a Nikkor 180/2.8 ED for under $300 (but make sure you get the ED. I found mine for $250 a few years ago). Sharp, reasonably light, relatively fast. I'm quite happy to use this wide open. My only beef is lack of a tripod mount.
If you're willing to drop $1100 you might also consider the CV 180/4. If you can find one.

American Airlines has appointed Denise Lynn as senior VP of people and announced the retirement of four executives as part of the continued streamlining of its management team.
Lynn was previously executive vice president of employee relations, a position that she has held since December 2011. Jeff Brundage, who was previously senior VP of people, has left the airline.
David Brooks, president of cargo; Mark DuPont, airport services; Susan Garcia, VP of information technology, and Andrew Watson, VP of customer technology, will also be retiring from American.
Brooks is credited for building American's cargo business, a division that he has lead for nearly 16 years. He has been with the airline for 30 years.
DuPont worked in the airline's airport services division for 29 years where he drove innovation in customer facing technology. He held positions in Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles and Orange County.
Garcia held the information technology position for 10 years and has been with the airline for almost 25 years. She drove many of the airline's large technology modernisation initiatives, including the Y2K project.
Watson worked in the carrier's technology organisation for more than 10 years. His work included the introduction of self-service machines at airports and the development of American's iPhone application.
In addition to the appointment and the retirements, American eliminated five senior leadership positions. These include the VP of operations finance and strategy planning position, which was held by Doug Herrig and who is now working on special projects at the airline.
American is in the midst of a plan to eliminate 20% of its senior management positions by the third quarter. The latest retirements follow three that were announced in December and two in February, as well as numerous internal appointments.
"Our organisation redesign purposefully began at the top and today's changes will further advance the company's restructuring objectives and bring us one step closer to ensuring American has the leanest, most capable and effective leadership team in the industry," says Tom Horton, chief executive of the airline, in a statement.

How comes its always "I had no problem installing/running/playing the game but MY WIFE HAD SO MANY"...
Why didn't you start your post saying "I encountered none of these..."?
Instead of you have to blame it all on this "wife"?
I've stopped taking any post that says "my wife" it anywhere seriously.

"A wise man has something to say, but a fool just has to say something."
1) Chat is universal across all dimensions. To say absolutely no one responded is kinda strange.
2) A hardware glich cause by a new piece of software that has not been tested on your pc that has to run on millions of possible hardware configurations is not a failure of the company.
3) If your girlfriend is irritated by these two minor issues from trying this mmo the future doesn't look bright for her taking this up as a hobby.
4) Where was your rational opinion when she was dealing with all these issues since you had such a smooth experience?

my point here is that there are mmos that have good support response its rare but they do happen and then there are just truly terrible support which unfortunatly isnt rare at all

It is claimed that many of the bugged quests are fixed on test servers. Why they are not updating the game then is beyond me. They are literally sitting on fixes going in to the games first "live" weekend. Not a very smart move.

4) Where is your rational opinion when expecting that people should just accept a buggy game?
Trying to attack someone is exactly what you were doing for daring to suggest TSW is not perfect. They guy has a right to be upset, these bugs are unacceptable. I mean come on, the quest he is talking about is one of the first quests. How on earth does that make it through beta without being fixed? That is only the first of MANY that are bugged too.

Well, just to be clear - of course I just continued with my business after a while, leaving the bugged quest behind. I dont expect any game I play to be completely bug free. However, having the petition system tell me that they will jump to hoops to answer me no later than 4 hours, and ending up getting no answer at all after 2 days is what I am pointing a finger at.
Usually, you get an automated confirmation that they received your petition at the very least. In my case, I didnt even get that. Im glad other people have had their issues resolved in a speedy manner several times. However, I am puzzled why this is not the case with me..?

3) Quiting after running into 1 bugged mission and her instable computer? Actually yes, that is laugheble. You are garanteed to run into alot more difficulties.. in any game.
4) No we shouldnt but the game is fairly stable and most bugs are very very minor and or easy to by pass, a dx11 issue for isntance, you can get by by clicking dx9 for instance.
Everyone has the right to be upset but no the game isnt that buggy at all, no worse then ANY game out there right now. Oh noes a broken quest, this and any game out there has more pressing matters not to mention.. they have their fix on the PTR.
Im sorry they didnt fix some insignificant mission but worked on stability and performance first.

Imo you did the sensible thing, sure bugged missions are anoying but you took it for what it is, a minor inconveniance and moved on. The most commendeble thing you did was even when you posted your very valid concern you, you expressed it in a mature fasion, I wish all posters where like you.. including me.

I'll elaborate a bit more on my initial point:
If crashing on startup (on a computer game) and a single bugged mission on a newly released MMORPG are enough to make you quit, you probably have no business playing a newly released MMORPG.
Or you can show me an MMORPG on release that didn't crash on every hardware and software setup. Or one without a single bugged mission/quest/encounter at release. Don't worry, I'll wait.
.. But in a good way.

Got the pre-order directly from Funcom which included the Greandmasters Pack, then got told I needed another key, which they never provided. I have been waiting for an answer since the game went live. I was good right up until then.
Also, I never got my pre-order items that came with it.(Yes Fanbois, store and items. I even submitted a Petition. Thats Ctrl+B in the game for you wannabes.) So I got 4 days of play(Which was mostly spent looking for an instance that wasn't bugged) and now utter silence.
Got told by their 'Live' chat I I had to take it up with support, but after 6 or 7 e-mails I have received nothing.
I'm beginning to believe Funcom is secretly owned by Wargaming.

Second Ctrl+B is to submit a to QA bug , not a CS petition. Typing /petition will get you a window with some Q&A (not QA) and a link or button called "Petition" in the top right that will let you write a new one, which is not the Ctrl+B window which again is to enter a bug. (Ctrl+B...B is for BUG) /applaus!
So maybe...just MAYBE if you actually do it right. You won't have a problem.

Im curious, who told you you need another key? All the packs I bought where automaticly added to my acount buying directly from Funcom, every mmo and their expantions did the same, I bought it directly from them and it was automaticly added to my acount.

Lol no its about both customer service and tons of bugs. Never come across those npcs that just before dying they reset.. no big deal. Now if you REALLY play the game you see "can someone invite me so I can finish, or change dem, or change instances". After a hour I was told of chat being down yet could not find ANYTHING from Funcom at all.. nothing. Lol your quest it bugged.. the raven, the zombies blah blah now chat is down and you cant ask anyone to invite you to change instances.
For me its really not a big deal. I was there in beta for AoC and man you would think Funcom would have learned. Funcom never talking really upset so many and here we are problems with the game and Funcom is saying? That quest bugged.. does Funcom even know? They don't tell us. Whens the next update? No clue but have you ran by the CASH SHOP?
Seven.. SEVEN servers thats it. There is no waiting.. nothing ever. So you think everyone will stay after 30days? Haha 30 days ends when? Just in time for GW2.
Guys TSW is a great game. Funcom is not the best and their work shows it. The devs .. A++ work. Its ok to EXPECT something for you money. Dont settle for unfinished work. Not now days.

Working as a tech, I'll tell you this. Did a job recently where we installed 20 new computers at a company. The computers had all the same exact specs, and we deployed the OS and software through the network on all 20 computers, which is how we do it at the company. Well we still ended up with 4-5 computers that didn't install properly and we had to re-do the installation.
Here's another example. If you look at the Tech section of many games, you'll also find recurring topics where users have no problem running the game on computer A, but when they change to computer B they can't run "x" game. It's a a rather common issue.
Which is just to say that it's perfectly possible that, while OP may not have experienced any of these issues mentionned, his wife (on a different computer and in a different instance in-game) may go through some technical difficulties. But actually, the fact that it's his wife is kind of irrelevant, because many of these issues (like the Something Wicked quest bug) are experienced by many users. Could be you, a family member, a friend, a neighbor, a complete stranger, it doesn't matter. The fact remains that the bug is there, and prevents some users to complete said quest.

the game is still wonderful. sure there a couple bugs in a few quests but it is not game breaking. you can come back and do them another time, no big deal.. and im sure you will since you will want to grind the AP for more skills.
I do agree with the bad customer support, i have my own story to tell about it but i got past the problem and i'm not going to come onto a forum and cry about it.
OP you had a few minor issues and you came running to the forum crying like a child who dropped their ice cream. get over it.
"this is too much." LOL. you had a bugged quest and a minor graphical issue. OH NO...like those have never been experienced before. Also, for the record, funcom also made anarchy online which is still to this a day a wonderful game...i'm sure they have "business in the mmo world".
not a "fanboi" but i think your post was a little ridiculous and did not need to be brought here.

2 What's all the fuss? Film festivals are a great place to hang out. Not just because you get to watch a lot of good movies, but also because you get to hear stories you otherwise wouldn't. How? By eavesdropping of course! At Café at NCPA, which is filled with socialites and theatre artists, a lot happens. On Thursday evening, the topic of discussion was Sridevi's comeback film English Vinglish. And, according to the group of women, it wasn't even half as good the reviews said it was. Who made them the critics?

Where was police when this guy in Denver went on a rampage? And I don't want to live in anarchy, I just want the government to get off my back and allow me to protect my family. Maybe you don't feel that way because in Asian culture Government is there to rule, not serve.
I'm not sure, but I think the Serbian law states the only way I can shoot the armed burglar is if there is no way police can arrive on time, and I'm cornered and wounded and sure he will kill me. If one of those conditions is not met, I can go to prison for murder. Do you think that's normal?

His first day on his new job was the day of the LAX shooting, and it's been lights and sirens ever since. James G. Featherstone, Los Angeles' interim fire chief, hasn't unpacked his books or hung framed inspirational works like a Frederic Remington print accompanied by a quote from retired Gen. David H. Petraeus about being "comfortable with semi-chaotic situations." Featherstone, who retired after 22 years as a city firefighter, was heading the city's Emergency Management Department when Mayor Eric Garcetti summoned him back to manage his old team. He'll need all the inspiration he can get to lead a department that a city commissioned study says is in need of a total makeover.
When you're rank and file in any job, you shoot the breeze and say, "Well, if I were in charge …" Now you are.
I never thought I'd be in charge! My perspectives have changed somewhat [from] when I was [a firefighter]. Growing up in the department has been beneficial; my six years running the Emergency Management Department was almost like going to grad school.
The Fire Department, like a lot of large, hierarchical organizations, is slow to change, and I'm not one to change for the sake of change. There's a Peter Drucker quote, "Culture eats strategy for lunch." The good ideas we come up with, we have to be careful that a large organization can accept.
We need to embrace data more. We will have Firestat [a data system paralleling the LAPD's Comstat system].
We [still] have big technology [issues] and everyday, working technology [issues]. It took me over a month to get a computer in my office that's contemporary. The automatic vehicle locater [technology] should be on its way by midsummer. That'll impact response time. Right now we dispatch from the closest fire station, and that's old technology. With AVL, we will literally dispatch the closest resource to the incident.
What else is on your to-do list?
My four priorities are service delivery, training and recruitment, leadership development and technology.
Service delivery hasn't changed in several decades. Part of the way it's sustained itself [is that] the men and women of the department deliver high-quality services. That being said, we need to continue to move the needle.
Leadership means putting together an executive team that's not [only] looking at an honorable and cherished tradition but at what's on the horizon. I'm sure I'll make some unpopular decisions; that comes with the territory.
Did the mayor give you a checklist?
He didn't necessarily give me a checklist. He wants to start moving to a data-driven culture, to start looking at technological improvements, at the overall culture. The mayor didn't put me here to be a place-holder. It's not my nature. When possible, you should always leave an assignment better than what you inherited. I will act as if I am the fire chief, without the "interim."
One piece of technology that didn't work so well was the recent 60-second cutoff for receiving online job applications, which excluded thousands of potentially qualified applicants.
Before I took the seat, I got a briefing from personnel; it was the first knowledge I had, and I'm thinking that it was embarrassing, that we were arbitrary.
How can you address diversity issues for a department that doesn't look like L.A.?
I'm certainly sensitive to diversity. The Fire Department, at least recently, has done a fairly decent job. In the latest recruiting effort [which resulted in a class that's less diverse than the rest of the department], I'm turning over more stones. We need to look at the front end; we need to professionalize recruitment. "Army of one; be all that you can be" — the military was smart enough to invest in professional PR and advertising. Maybe one of our strategies is to invest in people who do this for a living. The face still needs to be the firefighters; we are our own best recruiters.
Among the latest recruits, nearly 1 in 4 was the son or nephew of a current firefighter. That doesn't send the message that the department wants to change.
Where there was the appearance of possible conflict of interest, I've moved personnel to other assignments. I don't think there's been any malicious intent. The people I moved, they're good folks. It was a hard decision. I thought the optics were bad.
We're going to get [recruits] who have relatives on the job — our families see us do the job, so it's only natural they would want to be firefighters. What I have to ensure is that the process is fair. I can do a lot about that.
The city has paid out $20 million over the years in discrimination lawsuits against the LAFD. Did discrimination ever touch you?

Was There A UFO Flying Over New Orleans During A Saints Game??? [VIDEO]
A couple of weeks ago, while the Saints were pounding the Colts on NBC's Sunday Night Football, the network had a cut away to the St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter, and there appears to be a flash zoom across the sky while the cameras were rolling. Viewed in real-time, it's hard to see much more than something flashing across the screen. But a frame-by-frame scrutiny of the video reveals a rod-shaped object topped with brightly lit dots.


text: so at what point do we make some kind of change? After today we are below 500, and they are in 4th place. they need a spark and janish, gomes, renteria, and stubbs just aren't getting it done right now. I am not ready to right them off, but they need some kind of spark.

I saw a video on Youtube where a guy let some set in an uncovered container for about two weeks. It reduces down to a honey like liquid which he calls Future Glue. He said he uses it to glue chrome to paint without scraping the areas. Like install a grille or windshield. Sounds too good to be true but I will try it. He did say it was not as good as glue for holding but good enough if you don't handle it too rough or knock it etc. I can live with that.
My question is: Anyone try using Future as a clear coat over Alclad Chrome? I hope to try it in the coming weeks and will post results here.

Does anyone have any stories or advice to share on coping with the diagnosis, and how to overcome feelings of helplessness and lack of control?
I was diagnosed in July 2010, and thought I was doing OK with everything. Since onset, I haven't have many symptoms and have resumed life as normal other than having to do my injection every other day.
however, I've recently come to terms that I haven't been as happy as I was before I got diagnosed. I put on a great act and all, but as my husband put it, it's like there is an asterisk next to everything...I have MS. It's always in the back of my mind as something to worry or think about, even though really, I shouldn't. I am taking better care of myself than ever before, my symptoms are gone, and the shots are a minor nuisance, like shaving. I feel grateful that I can even get the shots at all!
But, as a control freak who doesn't do well with uncertainty, this is hard on me and I haven't fully come to terms with the diagnosis. I've projected these feelings into other areas of my life and am desperately overcompensating by gripping the reins tighter in any area of my future that I can.
I want to be able to roll with the punches, as it would help in lots of other areas of life too! I don't want to be depressed or focused the "what ifs" of MS. How do I move past this?
And yes, I am seeing a therapist, but would love to hear first-hand advice as well as hers. Thanks in advance...

Recent content from Jim Souhan
Souhan: Twins can soon make noise in a different kind of American League
The Royals' rise to AL power, without the benefit of or reliance upon payroll or power, demonstrates that the path to the World Series is smoother than it has been in decades.
Souhan: Guard D'Angelo Russell is best option for Wolves' pick
Let's break new ground. Let's use a sentence never before uttered or written. The Minnesota Timberwolves can't screw this up.
Souhan: Give Twins prospects a chance to figure it out
If Thursday's playoff-quality victory proved anything, it would be that the Twins would be wise to continue investing faith and time in their best young players.
Souhan: Buxton makes the run from hype to hope
In just three games with the Twins, Byron Buxton already has flashed his rare, pure-athlete talent.
Souhan: Twins official scorer goes by the book, yet is a nonconformist
Stew Thornley is stereotypical baseball geek, except when sky diving, bear wrestling, writing books about obscure topics or visiting Hall of Famers' grave sites.
Souhan: Zimmer's style refreshing
"I fly by the seat of my pants,'' Mike Zimmer says. And that's working.
Souhan: Profitable sports drive universities, including Minnesota
The University of Minnesota isn't specifically discriminating against female athletes. The school is discriminating against unprofitable sports.
Souhan: Mauer's woes masked by Twins' surprise start
Joe Mauer's OPS ranks behind Brian Dozier, Torii Hunter, Trevor Plouffe, Eddie Rosario, Oswaldo Arcia and Eduardo Nunez.
Souhan: Twins' Pelfrey displaying that look of an ace
"I don't know if fans wanted to see me in the rotation, the way the last two years have gone," Mike Pelfrey said. "But I knew how the ball was coming out of my hand this spring."
Souhan: For young fans, myth of Triple Crown becomes reality
The last time a horse won racing's Triple Crown, ESPN didn't even mention it. Because ESPN did not yet exist.
Souhan: NFL's elders fought for fair treatment
The NFL's treatment of player health, which has ranged from cynical to criminal, has become exposed in recent years, and marginally improved.
Souhan: News conference stops an avalanche of blunders by Peterson
If there are 12 steps to public recovery, Adrian Peterson might have taken a couple in one bound. So is it now time to turn the page to football, and only football?
Souhan: Winning Twins clubhouse is dance party central
After a victory, the Twins repair to their clubhouse, turn on the fog and light machines, and demand that the star of the game dance in the middle of the floor.
Souhan: Perkins' rare stumble showcases his worth
Twins closer Glen Perkins is so normal, it's easy to forget he's unique.
Souhan: Little logic to Peterson's self-pitying whine
Adrian Peterson has a point when it comes to NFL contracts. There are players who have been harmed, but he is not the guy to be a martyr.
Brian Dozier learns 'Ignitor' role from his manager
Brian Dozier might currently be the best second baseman in the American League, and he credits Paul Molitor with more than making him an effective leadoff hitter.
Souhan: Winning roster, well-stocked farm clubs give Ryan options
With a loaded farm system and a winning big-league team, Twins General Manager Terry Ryan will soon have a rare problem: too many worthwhile players.
Souhan: All these years later, Moss still draws a crowd
Minnesota fans are known for jeering departed athletes when they return. That is not what happened on Saturday afternoon at Ridgedale.
Souhan: If 'Fun is good,' opening a new ballpark's way better
CHS Field is a work of art, and Saints owner Mike Veeck's still a piece of work.
Souhan: Wolves' lottery victory more about morale than player
Receiving the top pick in the NBA draft is important not necessarily because of what it means for the roster as what it symbolizes for the franchise.
Souhan: Savvy Plouffe goes from stopgap to standout
When Miguel Sano entered the Twins' organization, Trevor Plouffe became labeled a placeholder. Now he's contending with Brian Dozier to become known as the Twins' best all-around player.
Souhan: A cool manager? Yes, that's Molitor
Under first-year manager Paul Molitor, the Twins are better than expected for unexpected reasons.
Souhan: A tale of two Twins deals, Mauer vs. Hunter
Joe Mauer or Torii Hunter. Who has been a better value? The answer might surprise you.
Souhan: NHL winning a playoff mismatch against NBA
The NBA's clutch-and-grab tactics have hurt the sport while hockey has soared.
Souhan: Twins' 'future' not here yet, but trio hasn't let that delay winning
Three veteran voices have fueled unexpected success.
Souhan: Zimmer shows quiet confidence in Vikings
The atmosphere is "light years ahead" of last season.
Souhan: Wild's flaws get exposed by skilled Blackhawks
The division alignment favored by Wild owner Craig Leipold could haunt him for a decade.
Souhan: Vanek's vanishing act a glaring flaw for Wild
When the Wild needed to win the most, Thomas Vanek gave the least. Vanek isn't the Wild's only problem. He's merely the most obvious.
Souhan: Missing-in-action Wild players need to reappear, and fast
The Wild needs more help from Thomas Vanek, Chris Stewart, Jason Pominville and Mikko Koivu
Souhan: Pominville needs to regain scoring touch
In Game 1, the Wild winger missed a crucial chance — the kind Chicago seems to convert.
Souhan: Wild's strengths fail at the worst time
The Wild's usually-reliable defense handed Chicago three goals in the first period, and Devan Dubnyk whiffed on a long shot in the last minute of the second.
Souhan: Training secrets for Suter, Dubnyk? Milk and sleep
Wild players Ryan Suter and Devan Dubnyk use smarts and attitudes as boosts to their stamina.
Souhan: In modern draft, Spielman takes center stage
Analyzing the Vikings GM's moves is a sport in itself.
Souhan: Call to raise glasses set the tone for the day
Zach Parise's two goals and Mike Yeo's pregame challenge were cause for celebration throughout the day.
Blues coach Hitchcock tries to explain momentum swings
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock says physical play causes game-to-game changes.
Souhan: Surprise pieces emerge to swing momentum back to Wild
It was predictable that if the Wild was to win Game 5, goalie Devan Dubnyk would have to perform well. What surprised was the identity of his supporting cast.
Souhan: Blues coach Hitchcock has a few tricks up his sleeve
Ken Hitchcock knows what to say and when to say it. The Blues coach has his team back in the series with the Wild.
Souhan: Ott's so-called physical tone is becoming cartoonish
When Ott actually had a chance to help his team with a third-period breakaway, he lost the puck, then fanned on a pass in the crease. He's not a hockey player; he's a rodeo clown.
Souhan: Wild is poised for big things — if it can win at home
You know the old hockey saying: It's not a playoff series until someone patronizingly pats you on the head. Steve Ott did so to Jason…
Souhan: Buxton deserves a look to fill Twins' hole in center
The Twins might have to consider rushing top prospect Byron Buxton to the majors to play center field.
Souhan: Hopeless Wolves season ends on a (yes) hopeful note
Ugly as the Wolves have been, they are in an enviable position moving forward.
Souhan: Spieth-McIlroy rivalry is blooming as golf's next big thing
The public's thirst for the next big thing is so unquenchable that often the thirst persists even before the previous big thing has departed.
Souhan: Spieth's Masters victory hints at much more in store
For 72 holes, Jordan Spieth, 21, never lost grip on his first major title.
Spieth's pursuers post impressive scores behind him
Mickelson, Rose shone but were relegated to Sunday sideshow.
Souhan: Spieth finds first travails but marches on
Jordan Spieth survived his first double bogey of the Masters on the 17th hole before a nervy flop-shot on 18 left him four shots ahead.
Woods brings the noise, and his game, in a round of 68
Tiger Woods' putter wavered a bit Saturday, but not his intensity in a Masters third-round 68.
Souhan: Spieth shows off power of patience at Augusta
Jordan Spieth set a Masters record with bold strokes — and timely restraint
Mickelson, O'Meara, Woods lead surge of former champions
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Mark O'Meara popped onto the Masters radar Friday with rounds in the 60s.
Souhan: Masters leader Spieth is nice, lucky and outstanding
Jordan Spieth's 64 might rattle other players if they didn't like him so much.
Hoffman goes from autograph seeker to opening-round 67 at Masters
Before his impressive round, Charley Hoffman secured some big-name signatures for charity.
Souhan: McIlroy gets glory without falling into celebrity trap
Rory McIlroy has been able, unlike Tiger, to win majors but not be swallowed by fame.
Watson treats 'least-liked' title as chance to grow
Two-time Masters winner believes his demeanor has improved since rookie year.
Souhan: The march of time is finding Tiger, too
Once the proud owner of a thousand-yard glare, a patented brand of athletic arrogance and an unparalleled résumé, Woods is becoming more human by the day. And that's a terrible thing for the game.
Souhan: Few festivities, no runs in Molitor's managing debut
Not much of interest happened Monday to commemorate Paul Molitor's debut as Twins manager.
Souhan: Fun is back in 2015 Opening Day clubhouse
With the return of Torii Hunter and Eddie Guardado, the Twins' clubhouse this spring was once again loud and funny.
Souhan: Improved rotation, quality starts key to Twins' revitalization
Archaic, often-ridiculed metrics like "quality starts" can be far more important than any advanced metrics for a tam like the Twins.
Souhan: Woodbury teen set for natonal swing at Augusta event
A bright career likely awaits Woodbury's Aayushi Sarkar, 13, and it starts Sunday with an event at Augusta National.
Souhan: The MLS will be a nice fit in Minneapolis
Even for those raised on meat-and-potato American sports, big-time soccer in downtown Minneapolis will be a welcome entree in a city that offers almost everything else.
Souhan: The MLS will be a nice fit in Minneapolis
Minneapolis' evolving population mix seems an ideal fit for MLS
Souhan: Enough of Peterson and the camel he rode in on
Once universally beloved in Minnesota, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has jumped the shark with his recent behavior.
Souhan: Vikings are gambling Wallace won't be another diva
The Vikings are gambling that Mike Wallace won't be another diva receiver.
Souhan: U goalie Leveille stops pucks, calms nerves
The junior from Ontario made 19 saves to improve to 28-3-3 as the Gophers won their third NCAA title in four seasons.
Souhan: Dubnyk a midseason deal that worked wonders
Devan Dubnyk isn't just glove-saving a season. He's becoming a first star of Minnesota sports history.
Souhan: Borland neither a quitter nor a hero after retirement
Chris Borland made a mature decision. He rejected the lure of money and fame in favor of health.
Souhan: Tournament will be latest referendum on Calipari
John Calipari has much to gain — and just as much to lose — in Kentucky's quest for an undefeated season and a national title.
Souhan: 4-peat DeLaSalle nearly ready for a new test
DeLaSalle's latest championship shows it's on the verge of needing a new challenge.
Souhan: Twins baseball ties trio of fun-loving buddies together
Baseball trades, and Twitter, have brought an unlikely trio together.
Souhan: After blur of dealing, eyes turn to Peterson, Murray
While the Vikings were playing pull-tabs, other teams were acquiring second mortgages to play roulette in Vegas.
Souhan: Twins should name Meyer their No. 5 starter
Meyer, who will make his first spring appearance Monday against the Pirates, is either the Twins' top pitching prospect or the oldest of their top pitching prospects. He might have the best stuff of any starter in camp.
Back from injuries, Twins prospect Buxton is whole again
This spring is a reboot for Twins' super prospect Byron Buxton, whose 2014 was derailed by injuries.
Souhan: Playoffs? Twins GM boldly sets that lofty goal
"There's no reason for us not to be in that mix," Terry Ryan said, ramping up the expectations.
Souhan: No frills on a day of firsts for Twins
New manager Paul Molitor and his Twins got to work.
Souhan: Perkins planning on front-office job with Twins
Glen Perkins plans on having a role in the Twins front office when his pitching career ends.
Souhan: Hunter wants to catch youth's attention
It's easy to say Torii Hunter returned because of the Twins' past. He argues that his past informs the Twins' future.
Souhan: What if everything went right for Timberwolves?
Let's contemplate what could happen if, for once, everything went right for the local NBA franchise, which has a years-long history of bad decisions and bad fortune.
