I wouldn't expect that blistering pattern to last. I'm still happier with Rolen.

yep thats a hell of a streak.
But EE will b EE and suck for 2 months. Be good then be good for a couple of weeks.
And I'll still take Rolen's glove over EE's any day.
Pretty impressive though, 5 HRs this weekend,
And how fitting, Felipe Lopez had the game-winning RBI single that lifted the Cards over the Reds in the division.
Seems like a bunch of former Reds are doing well these days
Didn't he always get hot around this time?
I wish him the best, he was a class act.
6 home runs is 6 days is something even for EE. I'm glad it's working out for him, but even with that streak I'd take Rolen's consistency and defense.
At times he could have clutch at-bats where he would see about 9 or 10 pitches. But, I also liked Kearns, Felipe, Hamilton, Affeldt, and Freel, and apparently the Reds did not.
I liked the guy too. Would have liked him better in LF, but that's not important now. Seemed like when he would have a bad streak on defense, he would slump at the plate too, like he was trying too hard. Maybe he could have worked out better if he was playing a position where he wouldn't make as many errors and get the pressure off of him.
But the "Banana Phone Extra Innings Sportstalk Idiot WLW" crowd didn't like him because he didn't smile and sprint to first on a walk (and show up the pitcher in the process) and all that other Charley Hustle crap.
I don't know what it is about Joe Average fan in this town, but when Ryan Freel is the most popular Red of the decade, there's something wrong. Freel was a nice role player, but not a great player by any means. This town is so stuck in the past that I worry that when the Reds finally turn this thing around people won't care and they'll be mad they missed the boat because it's not 1975 anymore. And to quote Rick Pitino, "Johnny Bench isn't walking through that door."
I was a fan of EE's too, and kept waiting and waiting and waiting for him to come into his own. Always felt like I was waiting.
But I'm happier with Rolen.

While his recent tear has been great, he had really sucked up until recently. It's what Edwin does. He hits unbelievable for a few weeks, and then can't hit a lick. It goes back and forth, and in the end he is a .260 hitter that will get you 20 to 25 HR's, 65 RBI, and boot 20+ balls at 3B.

Edwin will go through these streaks, I'm much more happier with Rolen. He makes the tough plays look easy....while EE made the routine ones an adventure.
You know what potential means, right. Haven't done [anything], YET!!!!!!!

Integration between Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines continues to advance as today the FAA granted the carriers a single operating certificate following their merger in October 2008.
Achieving a single operating certificate required the integrating of roughly 385 manuals and 100 operating specifications, programs and processes at both airlines, Delta executive vice president and COO Stephen Gorman says in a memo to employees.
During the first quarter of 2010, all tickets will be consolidated into the Delta reservation system, and the Northwest website will be discontinued, he says.
The Delta website will be the official website of the merged parties as the two SkyTeam alliance carriers merged their operations under the Delta name.
Nearly 200 pre-merger Northwest aircraft have been painted in Delta's livery to date, more than 80% of the pre-merger Northwest mainline fleet.

Product description
Was Jesus really a subversive mystic whose true teachings were suppressed by an authoritarian church? Has the real nature of Christianity been deliberately obscured for centuries? Do recently discovered texts such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and even the Dead Sea Scrolls undermine the historical validity of the New Testament? In this incisive critique, Philip Jenkins thoroughly and convincingly debunks such claims. Jenkins places the recent controversies surrounding the hidden gospels in a broad historical context and argues that, far from being revolutionary, such attempts to find an alternative Christianity date back at least to the Enlightenment. And by employing the appropriate scholarly and historical methodologies, he demonstrates that the texts purported to represent pristine Christianity were in fact composed long after the canonical gospels found in the Bible. Produced by obscure heretical movements, these texts offer no reliable new information about Jesus or the early church. They have attracted so much media attention chiefly because they seem to support radical, feminist, and post-modern positions in the modern church. Indeed, Jenkins shows how best-selling books on the "hidden gospels" have been taken up by an uncritical, scandal-hungry media as the basis for a social movement that could have dramatic effects on the faith and practice of contemporary Christianity. Brilliantly researched and sharply argued, Hidden Gospels unearths both the complex agendas and flawed methods of scholars who have created a whole new mythology about Jesus and the early church.

Review quote
"A quite absorbing book."-Clergy Journal "A sober, and sobering, account of how some scholars have enthusiastically embraced 'new' or 'hidden' gospels which just happen to support certain currently fashionable ideologies-and of just how unwarranted such claims actually are."-N.T. Wright DD, Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey "Jenkins has brilliantly identified the mythic dimension of the recent fascination with hidden gospels and alternative Christianities."-Luke Timothy Johnson, author of The Real Jesus "Jenkins makes clear that the inflated claims of the boosters of the Gospel of Thomas are neither well founded nor all that new. This book places the recent 'selling of Nag Hammadi' within the larger context of American academic politics, social trends, and New Age religions, and does all this in a manner that remains accessible to the general reader."-John P. Meier, author of A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus "...nontechnical, lucid, and well argued."-Choice

Hunting and gathering, following seasonally available wild plants and game, is by far the oldest human subsistence method.
Nomadic groups make and sell textiles, deal in animals and pictures, and play music. These sedentary groups work in towns as scavengers and hangmen; elsewhere they are snake-charmers, tinkers, bag makers, and singers; they dance at feasts and tell fortunes. They play music and made sieves, brooms, and wooden spoons. They have taken to horticulture and poetry.

Michael Daily, 2001 Michael Dailey studied music at Virginia Wesleyan College but graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Michael followed his artistic passions and is currently a third-year resident W. Gibson Walters Memorial Fellow of Opera San Jose. He was the featured soloist at VWC's 42nd Commencement Ceremony and is scheduled to perform in an upcoming concert celebrating the College's 50th anniversary. Michael and his fiance Amy Saxton plan to get married on December 17, 2011. How did your time at Virginia Wesleyan College shape the person you are today? "Virginia Wesleyan is an amazing place! It absolutely shaped who I am today by providing me with opportunities for growth academically and professionally. Through my involvement with Wesleyan Singers, Student Government Association, Residence Life as a Resident Assistant and Village Assistant, as well as my involvement as a founding member of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity Epsilon Delta Chapter; I developed leadership skills, a sense of confidence that has stayed with me, as well as lifelong friends." What are some of your favorite memories of friends, professors or mentors at VWC? "There are honestly too many to name, such as my first trip ever to New York City on an East Coast tour with the Wesleyan Singers, or my fraternity (Phi Kappa Tau) challenging the Woman's Soccer Team to a match (which we won) as well as the Dance Team to a half time dance off (which we also won). A very special memory to me happened during my senior year. Psychology majors were required to do an independent research project. Dr. Zimmerman, my advisor, saw that I needed some extra help. She invited me to her home on a Saturday to assist me with some proofreading. Where else but VWC do the professors care this much!? How are Wesleyan alumni different from other college graduates? "I think that the alumni of Virginia Wesleyan College will always have a place that they are proud to come back to and call home. The college is small enough that it can provide almost if not every student opportunities to grow and develop academically and socially. We are different because VWC is unique. The professors and staff truly love what they do and want the students to succeed. Whenever someone asks where I went to college, I always say with a smile: Virginia Wesleyan College."

You can always tell when it's Christmas time. Everybody is always at their absolute peachiest. That, or it's that time of the month again for you, is it? Among your insulting comments, at least we both agree on one point, it's a thing. As for me meeting one some day. I have seen/met more than my fair share. Mostly nice ones. As far as online communities go, you and your unwholesome attitude fall into the other group. Oh, and I don't want to grow the fuck up (as you so politely put it). You act like Little Miss Muck who thinks that she is better than everyone else here. Well, I have got news for you. You are the one who seriously needs to grow up. Better yet, why don't you just leave if you hate me and this place so much.

And you just made this amazing discovery, did you? For the record, I never liked you. You are too full of yourself. At least Bondgirl behaves like a lady, and tries her best as a human being. I am sorry to have to tell you that you behave like cheap trash. That's the impression you give. But what ever the reason, I don't care what you think of me. You have a foul mouth, and you are very un-lady like.

Route of bridge draws concern
Northside wary over further split of neighborhood
Concerns of discrimination and further splitting Corpus Christi's Northside filtered through in a community meeting about a new Harbor Bridge.
Ron Navarro, a Hillcrest resident, said relocation of the Harbor Bridge will split the neighborhood east and west as Interstate 37 has split it north and south.
"We're a neighborhood. We want to stay a neighborhood," he said. "At some point its got to stop."
About 30 impacted neighbors and concerned commuters attended Thursday's meeting at the Oveal Williams Senior Activity Center sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Victor E. Vourcos, advance project development engineer with the department, said the study will assess those issues, and consider the best route as well as the option of not building anything.
The state has considered replacing and relocating the aging bridge since 2001. Four possible routes identified in a study have been narrowed to the two best options for further study, and the state also must consider the impact of not doing anything. Either of the two routes would connect U.S. Highway 181 directly to the Crosstown Expressway.
Many perused maps to find their homes, and wanted to know if the project will run through their property.
Maureen Brooks lives between Sam Rankin and Alameda streets, and one of the two routes under consideration would put her home as close to the new bridge as the Ortiz Center is to the current bridge now.
"The proposal that they have on the board runs right through where we live," she said.
Vourcos said it's too early to know which land or how much will be needed for the project.
"As of right now I can't tell you how much right of way we'll need," Vourcos said. "It's still very early in the process."
He said the department will follow all the state and federal rules regarding land purchases and relocation if the routes cover other people's property.
A recommended route will be presented at a public meeting this fall, which should give residents a better idea if the state will need their land.
Carrie Robertson, a member of the Corpus Christi Beach Association, a group of condo owners, said a new bridge will change how she and her neighbors get to and from downtown.
"I hope it's not real inconvenient to get home," she said.
In the proposed plans, three lanes in each direction will be free, and one will carry a toll, which hasn't been set.
The current bridge and expressway have three lanes in each direction. Expansion calls for one additional lane in each direction, which would have a toll from the Portland side of the bridge to SPID. The state's new toll roads are built without booths and use electronic tags to keep track of fares, which haven't been determined for this project.
The projects have not been approved and there is no firm time line for construction or completion until funding — which may be as much as $550 million — can be secured from the state and federal governments.
The bridge, finished in 1959, costs $2 million a year to maintain and repair.
Dave Johnston, a project manager with URS Corporation, which is assisting the state with this project as a consultant, said the state has to consider tolling additional capacity lanes because funding is tight and construction costs continue to rise.
"But when congestion begins to occur and if you want to rely on your trip time — is it going to take 10, 15, 30 minutes? I don't know, but I need to get there on time," he said. "You can get that reliable trip time (with tolled lanes.)"
Johnston said taxpayers pay for all improvements of public roads.
"If this road gets built, it's not a question of if you pay for it, but how," he said.

And For Your Automotive Viewing Pleasure...
Posted 15 December 2007 - 01:20 PM
This is the only Painting I still have from the early days. My wife thinks I'm not willing to part with it. She may be right.
The painting is:
Title: '23 MAGIC
Size: 30" X 40"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Completed: 1986
Done entirely freehand airbrush, my records say I completed this painting in July of 1986, but I think it was finished more around 1982 or so. In gathering a bunch of works for an exhibition I may have needed to gather information that as a young kid I just didn't keep. Yes in many ways I still consider myself a young kid. (You guys are modelers... you know what I'm talkin' about ) So we just made it look like the body of work was done more recently.
I did a whole series of paintings where the focus was on reflective and shiny surfaces. Mostly show cars and bikes but also included urban cityscapes with stainless steel and mirrored glass buildings. Even in the urban landscapes I had to include the automobiles and the wet pavement.
Thanks for lookin'

Thanks, I'm very impressed with your work Harry. Your Photoshop skills are amazing. That painting is from my pre Photoshop days. Like you I spend a lot of time in Photoshop now, however I still create the painting.
Here is another painting from around the same time.
The painting is:
Title: MOTORCYCLE
Size: 24" X 36"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Completed: 1986
I have no idea where this painting is now. It was on loan to a gallery in Chevy Chase MD. some years back and disappeared. The gallery owner never said what happened, then stopped taking my calls. I feel one day I'll come across it again.

That's some very nice work Jeff. I'm sorry you've had such bad luck losing your work, especially twice. Were you ever compensated for it? I know that I have exhibited a couple of times and they always have the disclaimer about theft and damage but I would think if just one piece of art was taken something would sure be fishy. Anyway, what are you up to now? Are you still doing car art or just art in general?
Thanks George, As for the losses... I'm mostly over them other then just keeping an eye out for them. And they were a long time ago. As for compensation for the work, the "Red '34" painting was stolen from MY Studio/Gallery, so I was responsible for insurance etc. so no comp. there. A shady gallery owner over 1000 miles away stole the "Motorcycle" painting. It dragged on & on... I wrote it off to lesson learned, definitely fishy. Over 30 years of an art career of sorts, two losses are not to bad.
It's also two too many
As for now, well let's just say my wife and I have a 10 year old boy! need I say more?
All kidding aside, when my son was born, we needed to get out of the one bedroom condo and get a house. One condo + one art studio on Lincoln Road = one big house. So now I spend most of my time raising my son and restoring a 1930's Mediterranean house (think the movie "The Money Pit") . But I still do my art when I can. Some automotive, some commissions from old clients. I also do murals on the occasional Harley from time to time, but not nearly enough. I'm just not setup for a studio in the house at this point.

1) Summary
CIMB Group Holdings Berhad ("CIMB Group") today reported a record net profit of RM2.898 billion for 9 Months FY11 ("9MFY11"), representing a 9.6% year-on-year ("Y-o-Y") growth and equivalent to net earnings per share ("EPS") of 39.0 sen. The annualised net return on equity ("ROE") was 16.0%. For 3Q11, the Group's net profit of RM1.012 billion was 4.3% higher than 2Q11, and 10.5% above its 3Q10 net profit of RM916 million.
"We posted another record quarter in net earnings in 3Q11, underpinned by the continued improvement at our Malaysian consumer banking operations and rebound in treasury and investments. We remain behind our full year targets, but given the deteriorating environment and our cautious stance, we are pleased with these results," said Dato' Sri Nazir Razak, Group Chief Executive, CIMB Group.
2) CIMB Group Y-o-Y Results
CIMB Group's 9MFY11 revenues were 0.6% higher Y-o-Y at RM8.74 billion. The growth in net interest income was largely offset by lower non-interest income as last year's non-interest revenues were boosted by sales of ex-Lippo Bank bonds (excluding this, total revenues would have increased 4.4%). The Group's profit before tax ("PBT") was 8.5% higher at RM3.80 billion bolstered by much lower credit losses and low overhead cost increase.
For 9MFY11, the Group's Malaysian consumer bank PBT increased by 79.3% Y-o-Y to RM1.06 billion from the combination of 9.5% Y-o-Y improvement in revenue and lower credit charges. PBT at Corporate & Investment Banking ("CIB") was 9.9% lower Y-o-Y at RM657 million, while Treasury & Investments declined 8.4% Y-o-Y to RM802 million.
CIMB Niaga's PBT rose 36.1% to IDR3,276 billion but its contribution to the Group was 3.2% lower Y-o-Y at RM1.14 billion due to the absence of gains arising from the sale of ex-Lippo Bank bonds which occurred in 9MFY10. CIMB Thai's PBT contribution (after GAAP and FRS139 adjustments) was unchanged at RM61 million. Asset Management and Insurance PBT rose 21.0% Y-o-Y to RM75 million.
CIMB Niaga was the largest contributor to Group PBT at 30% compared to 34% in 9MFY10. The Malaysian Consumer Bank's contribution to Group PBT was significantly higher at 28% versus 17% in 9MFY10. Treasury and Investments contributed 21%, CIB 17%, Group Asset Management ("GAM") and Insurance 2%, while CIMB Thai's contribution was 2%.
Total non-Malaysian PBT declined to 38% in 9MFY11 from 47% in 9MFY10 due to absence of the ex-Lippo Bank bond gains at CIMB Niaga.
The Group's total gross loans expanded 15.3% Y-o-Y, underpinned by the strong 33.4% growth (in RM terms) at CIMB Niaga as well as the 12.6% increase in Malaysian consumer loans. Mortgages, credit cards and the Group's micro credit lending grew by 16.1%, 13.6% and 81.4% respectively Y-o-Y. Hire purchase loans grew at a modest 1.1% Y-o-Y while commercial banking loans were unchanged. Corporate loans expanded 3.5% Y-o-Y. The Group's overall net interest margins eased to 3.12% from 3.39% last year.
Total Group deposits grew by 12.3% Y-o-Y underpinned by a 25.8% expansion in CIMB Bank's retail deposits. CIMB Niaga's deposit drive brought about a 23.7% Y-o-Y (in RM terms) growth while CIMB Thai's deposits grew by 15.3% (in RM terms).
The total loan impairment for the Group declined by 55.0% Y-o-Y at RM198 million in 9MFY11 versus RM440 million in 9MFY10. As a result, the Group's total annualised credit charge was 0.14% compared to the 0.40% full year target. The Group's gross impairment ratio continued to improve to 5.5% for 9MFY11 from 5.7% as at end-1H11 and 6.6% as at 9MFY10, with an impairment allowance coverage of 80.0%. The Group's cost to income ratio rose to 56.1% compared to 54.1% in 9MFY10.
CIMB Bank's risk weighted capital ratio stood at 16.7% while its Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 14.5% as at 30 September 2011 (after inclusion of 9MFY11 net profits). CIMB Group's double leverage and gearing stood at 119.2% and 21.4% respectively as at end-September 2011.
3) CIMB Group Q-on-Q Results
The Group's 3Q11 revenues of RM3.03 billion were 2.5% higher than 2Q11, translating to a 4.3% Q-o-Q net profit growth to RM1.01 billion. Net interest income increased by 0.5% and non-interest income by 6.4%.
The Group's Malaysian Consumer Banking division PBT declined 6.5% Q-o-Q mainly due to the higher provision writebacks in 2Q11. CIB was 34.4% lower given the slower advisory activities in 3Q11 but Treasury and Investments was 63.9% higher. CIMB Niaga's PBT contribution was 1.0% higher Q-o-Q at RM404 million. GAM and Insurance PBT fell 50.0% to RM18 million. CIMB Thai's PBT contribution (after GAAP adjustments) was unchanged at RM12 million compared to 2Q11.
4) CIMB Niaga Results
On 24 October 2011, CIMB Niaga reported a 9MFY11 net profit of IDR2,379 billion, a 32.5% Y-o-Y growth with an annualised 9MFY11 net ROE of 19.6%. The improved performance was attributed to the strong loans and deposits growth and lower provisions. On a sequential basis, the 3Q11 net profit of IDR832 billion was 1.7% higher than 2Q11 as stronger revenues were partially offset by higher overhead expenses and provisions.
CIMB Niaga's gross loans grew 26.4% Y-o-Y in 9MFY11 as all retail and corporate segments expanded robustly. The Gross NPL of 2.6% as at end-September 2011 was lower than the 2.7% in the previous corresponding period and 2Q11. CIMB Niaga's loan loss coverage (based on BI definition) stood at 109.7% as at end-9MFY11 compared to 133.4% as at end-9MFY10.
CIMB Niaga's Tier 1 capital and risk weighted capital ratios stood at 10.5% and 13.5% respectively as at 30 September 2011.
5) CIMB Thai Results
On 18 October 2011, CIMB Thai announced a 9MFY11 net profit of THB856 million, a 4.2% decline from the THB894 million in 9MFY10. Excluding the THB220 million net one-off gain arising from asset sales between the two periods, CIMB Thai's 9MFY11 net profit would have grown 27.0% Y-o-Y. The annualized loan loss charge of 0.4% for 9MFY11 was much improved from 0.8% in 9MFY10 while the loan loss coverage ratio rose from 60.4% at end-September 2010 to 72.4% currently. For the 9-month period, CIMB Thai chalked revenue of THB4.832 billion, a 0.2% Y-o-Y decline.
As at 30 September 2011, CIMB Thai's Tier 1 capital and risk weighted capital ratios were at 8.1% and 13.8% respectively. Following various recovery efforts, CIMB Thai's net NPL ratio has dropped to 2.3% from 4.8% as at the previous corresponding period.
6) CIMB Islamic
CIMB Islamic's Y-o-Y PBT jumped 28.4% to RM359 million as Shariah-compliant banking products continue to gain ground. CIMB Islamic's gross financing assets grew 11.4% Y-o-Y, accounting for 13.7% of total Group loans. Total deposits grew by 17.8% Y-o-Y to RM25 billion.
7) Outlook
"Although we may fall short of our ROE target of 17%, we should exceed consensus analysts' forecasts for 2011. For the fourth quarter, our treasury and M&A businesses should do well while the Malaysian consumer and CIMB Niaga can sustain the current momentum," said Dato' Sri Nazir. "However, markets are volatile and regional economic indicators are softening, so we remain conservative on capital, liquidity and credit standards."

Great hotel, raucous guests
New Orleans is a great city and Royal Sonesta is one of it's great hotels. The blessing and curse is the location, on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, where drunken 20-somethings reign. Services and staff are outstanding. Sizable outdoor
pool but often too crowded with drinkers to swim. Still, we loved it!
This hotel was a clean, perfect location, and relaxing. After spending a couple hours on boubon street it is a releaf to go back to our little retreat at the Royal Sonesta. We had a room right off of Bourbon street and you could hear a little
noise. We thought this was fine and loved being able to peak right out the window to people watch, throw beeds, and generally being able to check the atmosphere before we went out.
Very nice experience
[...] greeted us at the door when we first arrived and he was most helpful along with all the staff the rest of our stay. They made great recommendations for places to dine, directions etc.We felt very safe and secure with this location.
Excellent Experience
This hotel is by far one of the best places you can stay when taking a trip to New Orleans. While Bourbon street can get quite noisy and is rather trashy, the hotel provides an oasis. Our room was not facing Bourbon street (we had a choice when
we checked in) and therefore had no problems with the noise outside. We arrived at 11am and without any hassle were able to check in immediately, even though the check in time was 4pm. We immediately visited the concierge and inquired about renting a car to drive to the plantations and within minutes he had arranged for someone to pick us up the following morning to pick up the car, and had also managed to get us a rate that was cheaper than any we had found when asking at the airport that morning.
The best thing about this hotel was that it was the perfect place to return to in the afternoon, when the 100 degree heat became too much, and lounge around by the beautiful pool, sit in the indoor cafe, or outside in the court yard.
When booking this trip we had also considered several other hotels, some on Canal street and others closer to the CBD, but the Royal Sonesta was by far the best choice in terms of location. Canal street and the CBD both seemed a bit seedy, and although Royal Sonesta is on Bourbon street, it was in the best location in terms of walking distance to tourist attractions.
For breakfast we would strongly recommend anyone to go to the OLD COFFEE POT. It is a short walk from the Royal Sonesta and off of Bourbon street. The old-time cafe/restaurant had delicious food (try the Cala Cakes), friendly service, and a nice ambiance. The prices are also very reasonable and breakfast was served until 2pm. For lunch, the SOMETHING ELSE CAFE was excellent.
New Orleans historic hotel jazzy
Great hotel in center of French Quarter. Awesome Jazz club in the hotel, 7 nights/week.
Caution: If you like rock music till 3am, request Bourbon St facing room. However, if you like quiet, be sure to request quiet section of hotel. We had to
change rooms, but got an awesome quiet room.
Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse is in the hotel and features awesome jazz 7 nights/week
Where the action is!
Spent 4 days looking at the galleries and markets in the French Quarter and 4 nights listening to good live music. To see outside the french quarter the trams are great and cheap. The partying can get a bit intense but makes for great people
watching. Had lots of fun.
Cab was set 33 dollars (for two persons) from the airport - most of the French Quarter is within walking distance plus there are the trams thus whilst in the Quarter it is not worth hireing a car. Do the Quarter first then get a car if you want to roam further.
Wonderful retreat from the real world
Friendly staff, comfy hotel, excellent location
Desire restaurant right in the hotel, Oceana and Deanie's restaurant very nearby were all excellent and resonable priced.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Columbus Blue Jackets want goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky back, but they have company in pursuing his services. The 24-year-old Bobrovsky keyed the Blue Jackets' second-half surge last season and was good enough to win the Vezina award as the NHL's top goaltender. His contract expired after the season, and the Blue Jackets are working to keep him not only off of the restricted free-agent market next month, but away from the KHL in his his native Russia. Reports have linked at least one team KHL as ready to make Bobrovsky a substantial offer and others with interest. "We're working hard to get him back and we're optimistic that we'll have him back," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said Tuesday. "We're working at it and hoping we'll get it done." Bobrovsky had a 21-11-6 record with a .932 save percentage and 2.00 goals against average last season after being traded from Philadelphia. He was the runaway winner of the Vezina, collecting 17 of 29 first-pla...

Rebels v Crusaders - Live
80 Knocked on by Inman from the restart as the siren goes, that's the win for the Crusaders. Todd Blackadder's side continue to toil away but get another win, while the Rebels' surge came all too late but they do grab a losing bonus point.
78 TRY, REBELS, FUGLISTALLER! 19-25: Too little too late? The Rebels kick to the corner for the maul and Fuglistaller benefits at the back. Crucial conversion for Hegarty and he curls it in easily. Losing bonus point secure for the hosts.
76 A spark! The replacement Veainu finds a gap down the touchline and makes good ground, but his offload is forward. Rebels back on the attack from the Crusaders kick and Hegarty nearly releases Roberts but we're coming back for the penalty. Time running out.
74 Rebels kicking for territory but that doesn't seem to be the right option. Crusaders with the lineout on halfway... it's a scrum to the Rebels.
72 Nadolo finds touch but the Rebels are in a good attacking position here. Burgess looking for runners but all he finds is a knock-on. That sums up the game nicely.
70 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 12-25: Six on the night for Taylor as the Crusaders move further ahead. Can the Rebels come back?
68 A sea of errors out there as Funnell this time doesn't throw straight. Two sides low on confidence.
67 Maul from the Crusaders near the left touchline, but Taufua knocks on. Rebels scrum and Hegarty clears.
65 Good net gain for the Crusaders as Hegarty produces a howling cross-field kick. Won by McNicholl who grubbers and Nadolo forces the Rebels to kick into touch. Chance here.
63 Knock ons from Read and Tuitavake mean a Rebels scrum on the near side. Scrappy.
60 Criminal from the Rebels as the throw-in five metres out from Leafa is not straight. Penalty to the Crusaders and Slade clears to touch.
58 Rebels win a penalty at the breakdown and kick to touch in the 22. Lineout won, maul set up with Higginbotham at the base. Advantage played, intercepted by Tuitavake who goes the length of the field but of course we come back for the penalty. Hegarty into the corner.
55 TRY, CRUSADERS, FUNNELL! 12-22: Crusaders back on the attack deep in the Rebels 22. Advantage coming as the Saders fling it wide, Read onto Funnell who goes over in the corner! Fine finish and the first try of the match.
53 Passage of play ends in favour of the Crusaders after the Rebels kick out on the full. Dagg off with an injury as the visitors attack from the lineout. On the 22 - building the phases but then the Rebels turn the ball over and clear through Roberts.
51 PENALTY, REBELS, HEGARTY! 12-15: Easy enough for Hegarty and the Rebels are back within three.
50 Crusaders offside and the Rebels have an easy three points here on the edge of the 22. Woodward off so Hegarty will step up to kick.
48 Pause in play following a knock-on from Higginbotham, Woodward down for some treatment. No panic yet from the Rebels but the Crusaders are from at their best right now. Big chance.
45 Good work from the Crusaders at the scrum deep in their own half, Crockett winning the penalty and the visitors clear. Lineout won deep by Whitelock, box kick from Ellis and Hegarty recovers. Attacking the space out wide the Rebels as they go over halfway. Pass from Burgess hits the referee so we'll have a Rebels scrum.
43 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 9-15: Five from five for Taylor as the visitors establish a six-point lead.
42 Woodward clears but only as far as Dagg. Read with a carry and the Crusaders have started brightly, winning a penalty for Taylor to have another shot at goal. Dead central, around 30 metres out.
40 Both sides back out as Slade gets us back underway. Finely poised in Melbourne.
40 Rebels 9 Crusaders 12
40 PENALTY, REBELS, WOODWARD! 9-12. Woodward narrows the gap to three points, on the stroke of half-time, after Kieran Read is pinged for not rolling away at a ruck. The players head into the sheds and it's still anybody's game. It's been an even affair with very little enterprising play. Hopefully thing open up after the break.
37 This time Crockett is penalised for illegal scrummaging and Woodward puts the ball out midway between the halfway line and the visitors' 22.
35 Toby Smith is pinged for illegal scrummaging just outside the Crusaders' 22. Slade kicks for touch but Woodward does brilliantly when he knocks the ball back into touch inside his 22!
33 The Rebels are on the attack just outside the Crusaders' 22. Luke Burgess offloads to Hugh Pyle but the move goes awry when Pyle knocks on.
31 The Crusaders restart from their 22 but Fuglistaller charges down Colin slade's kick! Israel Dagg comes to the rescue for the visitors but is forced to carry voer before dotting down.
28 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 6-12. Taylor succeeds with his fourth three-pointer after Sean McMahon is penalised for entering a ruck from the side.
26 The Rebels win a line-out close to their try-line but the visitors' defence puts great pressure on them and Hegarty is forced to put the ball into touch about 15 metres from his try-line.
24 Woodward spots a gap behind the Crusaders' defence. His midway between his 22 and the halfway mark and delivers a box kick, but unfortunately it goes directly into touch.
21 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 6-9. The Rebels forwards infringe at another ruck and Taylor makes them pay with a sweetly-struck penalty!
18 Crockett plays quickly when the referee penalises several Rebels for not rolling away at a ruck close the hosts' try-line. He makes litttle progress, however, as Scott Higginbotham stops him in his tracks with a big hit!
16 It's tit for tat in the penalty stakes! Woodward gets his third shot at goal, after Ben Funnell is pinged for offside play. He strikes it well but his effort is wide of the mark.
14 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 6-6. It's all square again as Taylor adds another three-pointer from the kicking tee, after Mitch Inman enters a ruck from the wrong side.
11 PENALTY, REBELS, WOODWARD! 6-3. Woodward restores the home side's three-point lead after Luke Romano plays the ball on the ground at a ruck.
8 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 3-3. Tom Taylor draws the visitors level after Scott Fuglistaller is penalised for wrongful entry at a maul.
5 The Rebels attack inside the Crusaders' half but Toby Smith knocks on a pass from Bryce Hegarty which gives the visitors a reprieve.
3 PENALTY, REBELS, WOODWARD! 3-0. Jason Woodward opens the scoring from the kicking tee after Wyatt Crockett is penalised for winning the ball illegally at a ruck.
1 Jason Woodward gets us underway! His kick is collected by Kieran Read, who sets up a ruck 10 metres outside his 22.
Rebels' head coach Tony McGahan has made several changes to his team after last weekend's loss to the Western Force. After a forced late withdrawal last week, Tom English returns to the left wing, with Lachlan Mitchell named on the right wing and Telusa Veainu providing outside back cover from the bench. Paul Alo-Emile and Max Lahiff drop to the reserves, replaced in the front-row by Toby Smith and Laurie Weeks, while Scott Fuglistaller returns to the side after missing the trip west. Second-rower Luke Jones and Bryce Hegarty are rewarded for strong cameos off the bench in Perth, replacing Cadeyrn Neville and Angus Roberts respectively.
Colin Slade will start at fly-half for the Crusaders in this clash. With Slade moving from 15 to 10, Tom Taylor shifts out to inside centre and Ryan Crotty goes to 13. Israel Dagg will start at full-back. Andy Ellis takes the starting scrum-half spot again and, with Willi Heinz recovering from a calf injury, Mitchell Drummond has an opportunity to make his Crusaders debut if he comes off the bench. Nafi Tuitavake is the only player in the starting XV who was not involved last week. He has recovered from a hamstring strain to start on the right wing and Johnny McNicholl will be on the left wing. There is just one change to the forwards with Ben Funnell starting at hooker this week instead of Corey Flynn, who is unavailable after suffering a fractured eye socket in last weekend's match against the Stormers. Codie Taylor enters the matchday 23 for the first time this season to provide cover off the bench. Also up for a potential debut off the bench this week is wing Nemani Nadolo.
Hello and welcome to AAMI Park in Melbourne for this Super Rugby clash between the Rebels and seven-times champions, the Crusaders. We'll be back soon with team news.
