The Albany Times Union hopes their newly implemented paywall subscriber program will help establish a digital relationship with readers instead of only focusing on generating revenue.
The idea behind the Times Union digital membership product, timesunionPLUS, which launched in late January, is to engage with their audience online by creating a premium section on its website full of exclusive content.
October 24, 2013
The metered model is the dominant paid content strategy adopted by U.S. newspapers so far. However, isn't the only tactic being tried. A handful of metropolitan newspapers have recently launched two websites – one paid and one free – as a way of satisfying two different audience sets and building out two distinct brands.
October 08, 2013
There has been no shortage of paywall news the past month with the end of The Dallas Morning News paywall following the fall of San Francisco Chronicle paywall just four months after its launch. However, talking exclusively about paywalls may ignore other opportunities to generate revenue.
Last week, The Morning News shuttered its paywall in favor of a premium subscription strategy. Unlike its hard paywall with no metered access and no way to sneak through, which launched in 2011, all content will be available online for free. Readers can now opt to pay for a premium digital experience which includes "enhanced design and navigation, limited advertising, and access to unique subscriber benefits.
May 21, 2013
As more newspapers decide to charge for their digital content, media executives are facing a tough question: what are the best ways to convince customers to pay for digital access and content that was previously available for free?
Many are finding success in comprehensive pricing structures that include both print and digital, as well as in proactive marketing efforts highlighting the value of the newspaper's offerings, especially on digital platforms. Bolstering coverage and offering more services also has been an effective way for newspapers to spur digital sign-ups.
November 12, 2012
NAA and Mather Economics, have collaborated on dashboards that will help newspapers run various pricing and metering scenarios to inform their paid content strategies. As a business planning tool, the dashboards are an excellent means of visualizing trade-offs between different business strategies.
August 09, 2012
NAA is tracking newspapers that have implemented digital content strategies, including approach, cost to print subscribers, launch date and a link to coverage of the launch. If your newspaper is not listed, please contact Dena Levitz.
May 31, 2012
NAA's Paid Digital Content Benchmarking Study, undertaken during spring 2012, is designed as a first step in gauging the impact of newspapers' digital-content subscription strategies.
February 03, 2012
Over the years, management at Times-Shamrock Communications has debated the issue of newspapers charging for online content, questioning whether the free-site approach was the right one.
"We never came to a definitive answer," said Edward Pikulski, the company's content development manager. "When the technology became available to charge, and in a pretty seamless way for the customer – without implementing a really hard pay wall – we became very intrigued."
September 06, 2011
In March 2011 the Daily O'Collegian, the student newspaper of Oklahoma State University, became the first college newspaper to try out paid content for its online product. But the metered model decided upon only affects a small segment of its readership. If a user is registered with an ".edu" email address, signifying that they either are or were a student or member of the faculty, they never have to pay for content on the website no matter where they are located in the world.
August 26, 2011
In 2009 Freedom Communications was looking to enact paywalls for two of its smaller newspaper markets in order to test out the concept. Lima, Ohio was one of the two selected because the newspaper's site had substantial traffic in its market and staff had a higher level of comfort with Web-based operations than at some other markets in the company.

Commissioner and Governor prepare for fire seasonAnnual test insures safety for elected officials while visiting fires this summer
OLYMPIA – Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark will welcome Governor Jay Inslee as they both take the State Firefighters' Work Capacity Test in anticipation of this year's fire season.
The Work Capacity Test is known informally as the pack test. The pack test measures a firefighter's muscular strength and aerobic endurance, and includes a timed walk and successful deployment of a fire shelter.
The Governor and Commissioner take the test annually in order to be able to safely travel to fire lines in the unfortunate event of a large or hazardous wildfire. Their efforts highlight the need to be safe and prepared in the face of wildfire throughout the state.
Videographers, photographers, reporters, assignment editors, and any media personnel requiring safe access to local wildfire incidents are invited to complete a fire shelter test. Before attending this event, media participants must watch this 25-minute fire shelter deployment video.

Gear Question
Arshavin Berg
Would this backpack work well for school?...
Would this backpack work well for school? Or would it be too bulky.
This backpack can be used for school but i wouldnt recommend it. The mesh area can be torn easily as one of them started peeling off when one of the edge of my textbook got caught in it. This feels to me to be more of a travel backpack or something where you would put wet stuff in hence the drain hole and then the mesh that goes through the main pocket to air it out

OLYMPIA — The Washington state House has passed a measure to cap tow truck fees.
Under the bill passed Saturday, tow truck companies could charge up to about $270 to tow a vehicle and impound it for half a day and another $60 for storage per day thereafter.
Currently, the Washington State Patrol sets limits on how much tow truck drivers contracting with it can charge for their services. There are no such limits on tow truck operators contracting with private property owners, however.
Rep. Gerry Pollet, a Seattle Democrat, is the bill sponsor. He said it would stop the practice of tow truck operators charging in some cases more than $1,000 for their services.
The bill passed by a vote of 91-7 and heads next to the Senate.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 15 min
TOTAL TIME: 20 min
Preheat oven to 200°F.
Cut white and pale green parts of scallions crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then thinly slice enough scallion greens to measure 3 tablespoons.
Stir together brown sugar, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook fish on 1 side until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn fish over and brown 1 minute. Add soy sauce mixture and simmer, covered, until fish is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer fish with a slotted spatula to a heatproof platter and keep warm in oven. (Fish will cook through from residual heat.)
Add 2-inch scallion pieces and juices from fish platter to sauce and boil, stirring occasionally, until glaze is very thick and reduced to less than 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over fish and sprinkle with scallion greens.

Through the Children's Gate
A Home in New York

Following the best-selling Paris to the Moon, the continuation of the Gopniks' adventures against the panorama of a different though no less storied city as they attempt to make a new home for themselves.
Autumn 2000: After five years in Paris, Adam Gopnik moves his family back to a New York that seems, at first, safer and shinier than ever. Here in the wondrously strange "neighborhood" of Manhattan we observe the triumphs and travails of father, mother, son, and daughter; and of the teachers, coaches, therapists, adversaries, and friends who round out the extended urban family. From Bluie, a goldfish fated to meet a Hitchcockian end, to Charlie Ravioli, an imaginary playmate who, being a New Yorker, is too busy to play, the Gopniks' new home is under the spell of the sort of characters only the city's unique civilization of childhood could produce.
Not long after their return, the fabric of living will be rent by the events of 9/11, but like a magic garment will reweave itself, reviving normalcy in a world where Jewish jokes mingle with debates about the problem of consciousness, the price of real estate, and the meaning of modern art. Along the way, the impermanence and transcendence of life will be embodied in the person of a beloved teacher and coach who, even facing death, radiates a distinctively local light.
Written with Gopnik's signature mix of mind and heart, elegant and exultantly alert to the minute miracles that bring a place to life, Through the Children's Gate is a chronicle, by turns tender and hilarious, of a family taking root in the unlikeliest patch of earth.
Adam Gopnik has been writing for The New Yorker since 1986. He is a three-time winner of National Magazine Awards for Essays and for Criticism and winner of the George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting. Raised in Montreal, Gopnik lived in Paris from 1995 to 2000, and now lives in New York with his wife and their two children.

Broncos fans complain about pigeon droppings
Posted by Josh Alper on September 12, 2012, 4:36 PM EDT
A pigeon walks on the pitch during the English Premier League soccer match between Chelsea and Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge in London Reuters
Peyton Manning might have won his first regular season game as Broncos quarterback, but all was not well at Sports Authority Field on Sunday night.
The problem actually started somewhere above Sports Authority Field, actually. That's where pigeons were congregating and using the fans sitting below them as target practice. Their ammunition? Feces.
Two of the fans pelted by pigeon droppings spoke to the Coloradoan about their unpleasant experience in the stands on Sunday night. They said that several people sitting in their section were hit and that workers at the stadium told them that it has been an ongoing problem.
"There's actually a plastic owl," Jeff Harden, one of the affected fans, said. "I'm sure they set that up there at one point to deter the pigeons. It's obviously not working. It's a health issue. There's people with drinks. There's open food containers."
The company responsible for stadium maintainence, Stadium Management Company, released a statement to the paper.
"We strive to ensure that all fans have a positive experience during Broncos games, and their safety and comfort is our No. 1 priority. Unfortunately, outdoor stadiums do sometimes have issues with birds."
This isn't the first time we've heard about unpleasant run-ins with flying animals at football games this season. Fans at a Ravens preseason game had a run in with a bat, sparking a brief fear that they may have been exposed to rabies. No one wound up being infected and there haven't been any reports of vampires running amok in Charm City, however.
The silver lining for Broncos fans? Getting pooped on by pigeons is far better than if it were the Raiders.

Latest Headlines
The National Security Agency's attempts to enhance U.S. security through the massive collection of personal computer and communications data has actually had the opposite effect, a panel of industry experts maintained.
Privacy law in the United States tends to be targeted, and as a result "we don't believe that there are actually any federal statutes that would provide limits on drone surveillance," said Aime Stepanovich, an attorney with the Electronic Privacy Information Center. Following passage of a 2012 reauthorization bill, the FAA has worked to streamline procedures for integrating public agency UAVs into the national airspace.
UAVs equipped with sensors such as facial recognition technology create the possibility of continuous and ongoing biometric surveillance, said Laura Donohue, an associate professor of law at Georgetown Law School. Biometrics until now have mostly been collected on an individual basis, such as through fingerprinting after arrest or through biometric identification for access control. A UAV with biometric sensors "changes how we think about public space," she said.
Domestic drones' security risks deserve the Homeland Security Department's attention, the Government Accountability Office recommended in 2008--but DHS still hasn't acted to assess those risks, GAO's Gerald Dillingham said July 19. Dillingham testified before a House Homeland Security subcommittee. At the hearing, congressmen, an academic, a local law enforcement official and a privacy advocate also criticized DHS for its lack of involvement in drone-related security issues.

EVGA introduces Android overclocking
EVGA has announced its latest Z77-touting motherboards and at the same time unveiled a vision for our ubiquitously computed future. It's got PC and phone working together in perfect harmony, the one symbiotically adapting and informing the other. Just as happy computers should be.
Thanks to an Android-friendly version of its Precision X tuning software, you can have your games running their beautiful virtual worlds in immersive high resolution on your PC screen. On your phone, meanwhile, there's a touch sensitive interface for tuning your CPU and graphics clockspeeds without flicking back to the desktop.
I think it was ASUS that first introduced overclocking via a smartphone with its Republic of Gamer boards a few years ago, but EVGA does seem to have caught up. The Precision app will be able to take control of your BIOS settings from the moment you hit boot thanks to a Bluetooth connection to the motherboard and take control of all the tweaks available in the new GeForce GTX 680 chips. It's a neat trick, although now that CPUs and GPUs can overclock themselves if left alone to do so, possibly not one you'll be calling into action once the novelty has worn off.

A rebuttal to Joni Edelman's piece on "Inside Out."
"The Monk" is an eccentric period melodrama with horror-flick overtones. Occasionally incoherent but never dull, the movie brims with weird imagery: figures in peaked hoods scurrying across windswept plains, nuns in opaque white veils, a bouquet rapidly wilting and then bursting into blue flames, a baby being pecked by crows. At one point, a group of men march past the camera. They are wearing crowns of candles on their heads; drips of hardened wax cover their shoulders.
Directed and co-written by Dominik Moll, a German-born French filmmaker best known for his clever thrillers ("With A Friend Like Harry," "Lemming"), "The Monk" stars Vincent Cassel as Ambrosio, a Capuchin friar with an ominous hand-shaped birthmark on his shoulder.
Abandoned as a newborn on the steps of a monastery, Ambrosio was raised to be a model monk: pious, perceptive, sensible. A skilled confessor and orator, he is widely admired by his Capuchin brothers and by the townspeople who come to hear his sermons. Cassel gives the character a credible holier-than-thou confidence. He wears a beard that effectively covers half of his face, drawing attention away from his mouth and on to his pensive eyes.
The story of "The Monk" — adapted from Matthew Lewis' influential-though-hardly-classic 1796 novel — is the story of Ambrosio's descent into sin and madness. It's lurid, silly, strange stuff — murder, incest, pacts with the devil — so it should come as no surprise that Lewis' novel was a Surrealist favorite. Luis Bunuel even tried to make it into a movie. Though Bunuel never managed to get his version financed, the Surrealist critic and filmmaker Ado Kyrou eventually made an interesting film — starring spaghetti Western icon Franco Nero, of all people — based on Bunuel's script.
Moll's version flirts with Surrealism without ever quite giving the impression that it's a work of art; his take on "The Monk" is, first and foremost, a classy B-movie, keen to offer Gothic atmosphere, nudity, and mild shocks. In some ways, it resembles a Hammer horror flick (think "Curse of Frankenstein" or the Christopher Lee "Dracula") — except that the Hammer movies were visually opulent and "The Monk" is often austere and grayish. Interiors are dim and shadowy, which fits the 16th century setting. The costuming isn't gaudy or over-stylized. During its first 15 or so minutes, it would be easy to mistake "The Monk" for a restrained religious drama.
At around the 15-minute mark, however, Ambrosio recounts a dream — a vision of a woman in red who doesn't show her face — to a fellow monk, and the movie effectively enters a dream state which it never leaves. Every subsequent scene inches the dream further and further into nightmare. The visuals become more adventurous; Moll plays around with superimposed images, diffuse light, silent-movie-style iris shots, and even throws in a few theatrical lighting tricks — a spotlight pointing out a character in a crowd, for instance.
Oddly, as "The Monk" becomes more imaginative, its plot — a lot of twisty intrigue involving a masked leper who lives at the monastery and a young aristocrat's courtship of a woman who admires Ambrosio — becomes less engaging. By the end, it's hard to care for Ambrosio or his fall from grace; he has been marginalized by the imagery.

The Government has to engage in a public debate about issues surrounding privacy, data and the private sector, Yvette Cooper said in a speech in central London to think-tank Demos.
Labour wants new powers for police and security services to crack down on cyber crimes like child pornography but only with extra checks on how crime agencies are using sensitive data, she added.
Technological developments have sparked a wave of new types of crime and a 30% hike in recorded online fraud is just the "tip of the iceberg", she warned.
Her comments come amid growing fears over abuse of information in the wake of leaks by ex-US security contractor Edward Snowden, which has revealed details of major data-harvesting operations by government listening post GCHQ and its US counterpart, the National Security Agency.

Strong quake in New Zealand collapses buildings
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand's already-bruised city of Christchurch on Tuesday, collapsing buildings, burying vehicles under debris and sending rescuers scrambling to help trapped people amid reports of multiple deaths.
The 6.3-magnitude quake hit the country's second-biggest city on a busy weekday afternoon and closer to downtown than a major quake that damaged Christchurch last September but caused no deaths when it struck before dawn on a weekend.
Police said there were reports of multiple fatalities from the latest temblor in the city of 350,000, while Prime Minister John Key told Parliament it was still too soon to confirm the deaths.
The quake destroyed the spire of the iconic stone Christchurch Cathedral, which toppled into a central city square, and police said there was a report of two buses crushed under falling buildings.
Video footage showed some multistorey buildings collapsed in on themselves, and others with walls that had collapsed into the streets, strewn with bricks and shattered concrete. Sidewalks and roads were cracked and split, and thousands of dazed, screaming and crying residents wandered through the streets as sirens blared. Groups of people helped victims clutching bleedings wounds, and others were carried to private vehicles in makeshift stretchers fashioned from rugs or bits of debris.
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker declared a state of emergency and ordered people to evacuate the city center. Troops were deployed to help people get out and to throw up a security cordon around the stricken area, said Deputy Prime Minister Bill English.
"Make no mistake - this is going to be a very black day for this shaken city," Parker said when asked about possible deaths.
The airport was closed, and Christchurch Hospital was briefly evacuated before it was deemed safe and patients were returned. Power and telephone lines were knocked out, and pipes burst, flooding the streets with water. Some cars parked on the street were buried under rubble.
Some people were stuck in office towers and firefighters climbed extension ladders to pluck people trapped on roofs to safety. A crane lifted a team of rescuers on a platform to one group of survivors in a high rise. Plumes of gray smoke drifted into the air at several points around the city from fires burning in the rubble.
Key held an emergency Cabinet meeting then rushed to the stricken city to observe the scene.
"The worrying fear, of course, is that this earthquake has taken place at a time when people were going about their business - it is a very populated time, with people at work, children at school. Sadly, I cannot rule out that there have been fatalities," he told Parliament.
New Zealand police said in a statement that there were reports of multiple fatalities in the city, including a report that two buses had been crushed by falling buildings. The police statement said there were other reports of fires burning. Hours after the quake, English said it was still not possible to confirm any deaths.

Paolina's Innocence: Child Abuse in Casanova's Venice, Larry Wolff
Hosted by The Humanities Initiative at NYU and NYU Press
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM (EST)
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
20 Cooper Square, 5th Floor
Larry Wolff, Professor of History and Director of European and Mediterranean Studies at NYU, speaks on his latest work, Paolina's Innocence: Child Abuse in Casanova's Venice (Stanford University Press, 2012). With commentators Jane Tylus, Professor of Italian Studies and Faculty Director of the Humanities Initiative at NYU, and Dr. Lori Legano, M.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, NYU, and Board Certified in Child Abuse Pediatrics.
Paolina's Innocence explores an 18th century case of child abuse in an era associated with liberty and libertinism. Wolff examines the case in the context of the libertinism of Casanova and also employs other prominent contemporaries—Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Carlo Goldoni, Lorenzo Da Ponte, Cesare Beccaria, and the Marquis de Sade—as points of reference for understanding the case and broader issues of libertinism, sexual crime, childhood, and child abuse in the 18th century.
Professor Wolff works on the history of Eastern Europe, the Habsburg Monarchy, the Enlightenment, and on the history of childhood, and he has been most interested in problems concerning East and West within Europe: whether concerning the Vatican and Poland, Venice and the Slavs, or Vienna and Galicia. Previous works include Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment (Stanford University Press, 1994), Venice and the Slavs: The Discovery of Dalmatia in the Age of Enlightenment ( Stanford University Press, 2001), and The Idea of Galicia: History and Fantasy in Habsburg Political Culture (Stanford University Press, 2010). He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is the recipient of numerous honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Fellowship, and the 2012 Karl von Vogelsang State Prize for History.
Part of the Great Books in the Humanities Series.
This event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
Created in 2007, the Humanities Initiative at NYU (HI) draws on the diverse talents and interests of NYU's humanities faculty and students while taking advantage of the university's location in New York City. The Initiative is committed to bringing NYU's humanists together as well as to exploring the role of the humanities in the larger university and global community.

Warriors prepare for battle
Wigan looking to halt Rhinos' charge
By Simon Dilger. Last Updated: 31/05/08 2:15pm
Bailey: Pain
Wigan will be looking to exorcise the ghosts of last year's heartbreaking Challenge Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Catalans Dragons this weekend.
"I think we were looking forward to playing at Wembley before we got Catalans out of the road, so we definitely won't be doing that again."
Phil Bailey Quotes of the week
The Warriors travel to Headingley on Saturday for a last-eight showdown against Super League leaders Leeds.
Last year Wigan were hot favourites to take on St Helens in the final, having dismissed the Rhinos in the fifth round of the competition.
But they suffered a shock 37-24 defeat by the Dragons to deny them an appearance in the first final back at the new Wembley.
And 10 months on, Australian second row forward Phil Bailey admitted the experience still hurts.
"It was devastating and a lot of blokes who played in that game are here still," he said.
"It does still hurt. So many Wigan people had already bought their tickets.
"I think we were looking forward to playing at Wembley before we got Catalans out of the road, so we definitely won't be doing that again.
"That's the thing about Challenge Cup footie. Look at Warrington. They're a quality side and they're out already.
"To be still in it at this stage, it's anyone's ball game. I think that's what makes it so exciting.
"You can have poor Super League form but end up winning the Challenge Cup."
Leeds, who have a six-point lead at the top of Super League, are the bookies favourites to lift the cup at Wembley on August 30.
But the Rhinos will not be resting on their laurels against the club who dumped them out in 2007 and are the side responsible for their last defeat - a 14-10 Super League victory at Headingley in April.
One man who will be working extra hard to ensure that Leeds do not slip, yet again, on the same banana skin is the outgoing Gareth Ellis, who is desperate to end his English career with a first trip to Wembley.
Ellis is due to join Sydney outfit Wests Tigers on a three-year contract at the end of the season and the Great Britain forward would love nothing more than to arrive Down Under with a Challenge Cup winner's medal.
He said "I won't be playing in any Challenge Cups for a while so it would be great if I could end my final year at Leeds with a winner's medal.
"It's the only one I'm missing at the minute and it would be fantastic to win at Wembley but that's a long way off.
"Wigan are in the way and we are going to have to be on top of our game to get past them.
"It was disappointing last year to be knocked out. Wigan have turned us over on a number of occasions.
"They are a very good side and they seem to have the method of beating us of late.
"On all the occasions we've met, I personally have not played that well and it's something I'm keen to change."
Leeds will be without second-rower Ali Lauitiiti, who picked up a knee injury in last week's league win at Bradford.
And, just three days after flying into the country, Australian utility back Cameron Phelps is handed his debut for the visitors.
The 23-year-old former Canterbury Bulldogs player took part in his first training session yesterday and has been included in coach Brian Noble's initial 19-man squad.
"I feel good," he said. "It's my first time in the UK and I'm very excited.
"I aim to show Brian I'm ready to go. Anywhere he wants to put me, I'll stick my hand up.
"If we make it all the way through, it would be amazing to play in front of 90,000 people at Wembley."
Leeds Rhinos: Brent Webb, Scott Donald, Keith Senior, Lee Smith, Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow, Kylie Leuluai, Matt Diskin, Jamie Peacock, Gareth Ellis, Kevin Sinfield, Ryan Bailey, Nick Scruton, Carl Ablett, Jordon Tansey, Ryan Hall, Luke Burgess, Danny Williams, Simon Worrall
Wigan Warriors: Richard Mathers, Mark Calderwood, Darrell Goulding, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Trent Barrett, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Mickey Higham, Iafeta Paleaaesina, Gareth Hock, Phil Bailey, Liam Colbon, Andy Coley, Harrison Hansen, Michael McIlorum, Paul Prescott, Cameron Phelps, Joel Tomkins

Pittsburgh Penguins to honor Mario Lemieux's comeback from retirement with a statue
Jul 20, 2010, 8:15 PM EDT
December 27, 2000 was like a bonus Christmas present for Pittsburgh Penguins fans. On that day, franchise savior Mario Lemieux began what would be an incredible return to the game with a great performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
His first year was such a great success that he ended up being one of the three final nominees for the Hart Trophy. He managed to do so despite playing an abbreviated season in which he more or less got back into playing form on the fly. (His teammate Jaromir Jagr also was nominated for the Hart, but neither Penguin won the MVP that year).
While Lemieux worked all his magic in the Igloo, the Consol Energy Center will feature an easy-to-justify statue of the team's greatest player and owner. Pittsburgh-area radio personality Mark Madden says that the team will unveil the statue on December 27, 2010, the tenth anniversary of Lemieux's first game back in a Penguins uniform.
Sources indicate that 12.27.10 – the 10-year anniversary of Mario Lemieux's comeback – will be the day the Penguins and Consol Energy Center unveil a statue of Lemieux outside the building. This will be just five days before the Winter Classic at Heinz Field and part of a week-long hockey extravaganza for the city.
The statue will reportedly depict Lemieux, with the puck, beating a defenseman. No word if the defenseman in question will be Ray Bourque, the Hall-of-Fame blueliner so frequently victimized by Mario throughout their careers.
But it should be. Mario sure made Bourque look like a statue back then.
Madden writes that Lemieux didn't want the statue, but "common sense" prevailed. I agree completely; if the Los Angeles Kings have a Wayne Gretzky statue than surely the Penguins should have one for Super Mario.
The best part of the story might be that the ownership group – rather than fans or taxpayers – are the ones footing the bill for the likeness.
It's hard to believe that ten years passed since Lemieux's outstanding comeback. Will Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin one day be looked upon with the same reverence as Lemieux? They might end up being close to – if not better than – the player he was, but few players meant more to a team than Lemieux did to the Penguins. In any sport, really.
(H/T to Sean Leahy.)
- DK - Jul 20, 2010 at 9:06 PM
In my opinion, the greatest player to ever lace up the skates. And no, not a Penguins fan in any way. I'm quite frankly shocked that it took this long for the Pens to have a statue of Super Mario.
- Mendel Potok - Sep 27, 2010 at 1:08 PM
A statue? When this man when into retirement, he was already one of the greatest players that ever lived. Name the stadium after him for goodness sake!

Stuffed Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
|Pizza crust
|1 (1 Recipe Traditional Crust)
|Fresh spinach
|1 1⁄2 Pound
|1 Tablespoon
|Fresh mushrooms
|1 Pound, sliced
|Dry onion flakes
|1 Teaspoon
|Mozzarella cheese
|10 Ounce, sliced / shredded
|Olive oil
|2 Teaspoon
|Garlic powder
|1 Teaspoon
|Dry italian seasoning
|2 Teaspoon (Oregano, Basil, Parsley)
|Grated romano cheese
|2 Tablespoon
|Grated parmesan cheese

Prepare dough for pizza crust.
While dough is rising, prepare filling: Steam spinach in a small amount of water until just wilted. Drain very well. In a skillet, melt butter or margarine and saute mushrooms for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Drain liquid. Combine mushrooms, spinach and onion flakes. Set filling aside.
To Assemble & Bake
After dough has risen, punch down and divide into 2 pieces, one a little larger than the other. On a lightly floured surface, roll the larger piece to fit the bottom of a greased 12-inch round deep pan or 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Place dough in pan and press dough up the sides to hold filling.
Arrange 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over bottom crust. Spread half the filling over cheese. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings.
Layer with another 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese. Spread remaining filling evenly over cheese. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings. Top with last 1/3 of mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon Romano cheese and
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
Roll top crust to size. Place over filling and seal edges well.

See the Adopt OpenJDK Javadoc project
Nov 12, 2012
A useful OpenJdk task would be to add and enhance the javadoc of compareTo() and equals(). In particular, a standardized form of language would be useful to explain how these key methods are implemented (most of the descriptions in JDK classes are poor). I especially want to see the language "consistent with equals" or "inconsistent with equals" in every compareTo() implementation in the JDK.
See http://blog.joda.org/2012/11/pitfalls-of-consistent-with-equals.html for more details of my basic analysis.

I'm sure most of you have heard by now, but 49ers OL Thomas Herrion died yesterday following their preseason game.
As of the latest, I don't think they know what exactly caused his death, although my premature suspicion is that it will come down to some heart-related issue.
My condolescences for his family and the entire 49er organization.

Welcome to my absurdly long but reportedly amusing profile! Many have said it's worth reading for the entertainment value alone. (Or, you could skip all this and just look at my photos.* This approach seems to work for most of the men here. :-) )
Basically, I'm a hopeless romantic and I genuinely love to hold hands and cuddle. While my brain may be wired for logic, I have the soul of a comedian and a heart of mush.
I'm always looking for a challenge, such as rollerblading, quantum mechanics, home improvement, relativity, opening childproof containers or removing the stuff I buy from "security packaging" without using a chain saw.
I was once described as "... half nerd, half 'badass,' but the kindest man [she] ever knew." These contradictory qualities do describe me rather well, but may also make me a bit difficult to "figure out" from just a profile. I'm not difficult to get to know, just a bit different from most, but in very positive ways, I'm told. If you're tired of "ordinary" guys, I may just be for you.
Mostly, while I'm responsible and committed, I think life should involve as much happiness as possible. I'm looking for someone to be happy with me, preferably for the long run.
*Sadly, according to OKC, almost everyone only looks at the photos:
Things I like to do:
Shopping for antiques and collectibles (and restoring them), flea markets, tag sales, etc., inline skating (I used to speed skate competitively), billiards, any of dozens of hobbies and crafts, visiting museums, exhibits, fairs, historic sites, amusement parks, nature and finding new and unusual places.
Sometimes just watching a movie, going for a walk or even occasionally doing almost nothing at all with the right person can be best of all! I'll mention cuddling and holding hands again as no one seems to believe it (not that you'll need a crowbar to pry me off of you, it's just that I hear so many complaints about men who don't bother to touch their partner except when ... well, I'm sure you get the point).
I'm sure there are also many things you like to do that I'm interested in (or would be) as well. The above list is hardly conclusive!
Odds & ends:
I appear much, much more formal and logical "on paper" than in person. While I value my logical side, I could not live without frequent doses of humor and the amusingly inane! I do value and often use subtle and "sophisticated" humor, but if you think I'm above laughing until I have tears in my eyes from a well placed whoopee cushion, you're very mistaken! My profile gives not a hint of how outright goofy I can be at times!
I'm best defined as spiritual but not religious. I was raised Christian but don't formally practice any faith. I'm open as to your choice.
I don't smoke cigars, but do smoke a pipe on very rare occasions, especially when rereading or watching Sherlock Holmes. :-) (Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes ever, by the way!)
I love animals. I'm more a dog person, but all pets are fine. In my youth, I worked in a few pet stores and spent some time on a farm, so there's almost no animal I mind being around or caring for. I was even a beekeeper some time ago. Most likely, whatever they are, your pets will be welcome in my home and yard.
The name "namati" comes from when I was violin maker a long time ago. Sadly, carpel tunnel syndrome ended that career a few years after it started, but I still use the name as it's almost always available. My real name is Ken. Yours need not be Barbara. :-)
Since I've been asked a few times, my Myers Briggs personality type is INFJ.
My "EQ" or "Empathy Quotient" is 70 (on average, which is very high).
I've been a member since September 2010, but met a wonderful woman here and took over two years off. Alas, some issues from past abuse resurfaced and left her feeling unable to continue in any relationship at all. This did, though, prove to me that meeting a wonderful person is possible here!

Peter Aloysius Müller (born 25 September 1955 in Illingen, Saar Protectorate) is a German politician belonging to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). From 1999 to 2011, he has held the position of Premier (Ministerpräsident) of the state of Saarland, serving as President of the Upper House of Germany's federal parliament, the Bundesrat from 1 November 2008 to 1 November 2009.[1] In December 2011, Müller was elected as judge of German Bundesverfassungsgericht.
Education and Career[edit]
After sitting the Abitur (German final exams) in 1974 at the Realgymnasium in Lebach, Müller studied jurisprudence and politics in the Bonn and Saarbrücken. He sat for the two required State Examinations in Law, the first in 1983, and the second in 1986. From then until 1994, he served as a judge at the district court of Saarbrücken, as well as a research fellow for Saarland University.
Political party[edit]
Müller is a member of the CDU. Since 1995, he has been the chairman of the CDU in Saarland. He is also a part of the CDU's informal internal party, the "Jungen Wilden" (Young Turks), as well as being a member of the "Andenpakt" (Andes Pact). On 17 August 2005 the then Chancellor-candidate Angela Merkel chose Müller to be a member of her shadow cabinet as a prospective minister of economics and trade.
Saarland Legislative Assembly[edit]
Since 1990, Müller has been a Member of the Legislative Assembly (Landtag) of Saarland. From 1994 through 1999, he was the Leader of the CDU in the Assembly, hence also serving as Leader of the Opposition.
With the Federal Election of 2005, he obtained a federal party ticket in Saarland. However, on 26 November 2005 he decided not to take up his post as a Member of Parliament (Bundestag). He was succeeded by Hermann Scharf.
Public Offices[edit]
After the CDU received 45.5% of the votes, a narrow majority government, he became Premier of Saarland. On 3 September 2004 the CDU was able to expand upon its advantage in the parliament elections. In 2009, he formed a so-called Jamaica coalition with the liberal FDP and the Greens before leaving office in 2011, supposedly to accept an appointment to the Federal Constitutional Court.
Awards and Distinctions[edit]
In 2003 Peter Müller was given the Premier of the Year (Ministerpräsident des Jahres) Award in Berlin for the years 2000 to 2002 for his article "Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft" (New Social Free Market Initiative), which was published in the economic magazine WirtschaftsWoche.
Peter Müller and his wife Astrid have three children.

Did you know the hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards?!
I am a hardworking individual who loves to laugh and have fun along the way. I love my job and the challenges/rewards that come along with it. I frequently play volleyball, both league and tournaments, and love the sport. I love playing and watching pretty much any sport and enjoy being active. Family and friends are very important to me and I will gladly go out of my way to help a good friend. I love to laugh. Life is serious enough sometimes, laughs will get you through a lot. I am very reliable and say what I do and do what I say. I can also be quite random and spontaneous at times! Sometimes you just have to spice things up! I speak multiple languages and would love to be with someone that speaks additional languages as well. I enjoy international travel and would love to travel with a significant other. I am looking for someone smart, athletic, hard-working, humorous and just plain fun to be around. I am looking for someone who has personal and professional ambitions and is making plans to achieve them. I want to be with someone who enjoys sports! I love to go watch the Nuggets, Rockies, Broncos, and pretty much anything. I would always enjoy new athletic adventures like rock climbing, hiking, and white water rafting. I am looking for someone who enjoys a good mix of going out (for activities or hanging with friends) and enjoys staying home every now and then for a low-key movie night. I want someone who is smart and witty. On-going jokes are ecouraged and fun banter makes things fun and exciting! I want someone who is reliable and dependable but loves to be spontaneous every now and then. I want to be with someone that is open-minded and will try something at least once to form their own opinion. I want to be with someone who enjoys learning something new. Life is about learning! I only want to be with someone who is honest and trustworthy. Without that in a relationship I truly believe you have nothing. If you think you fit that profile, I'd absolutely love to hear from you!

I think he lacks a very basic sense of the arc of a story and what will really hit people and what won't...which is fine for a certain kind of movie, but he doesn't make that kind of movie; he sticks to linear stories and straightforward storytelling. And as he progresses in his career he seems to be getting worse at this rather than better. This is probably why a lot of people have problems with "artsy" movies as well -- a lot of artsy movies don't have that straightforward story arc that people are used to.
So despite how much I really enjoyed seeing Fantastic Mr. Fox, I somehow...didn't really enjoy watching it. If that makes sense. I'm supposed to be boycotting Wes Anderson anyway because he signed that stupid Roman Polanski petition, so it won't be difficult for me to avoid his movies in the future.

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Memento's One Is the Lonliest Number cover is among the most poignant and beautifully haunting covers ever. Hated the movie, as a whole, but loved that song.

One movie I couldn't get through was Before Sunrise. I was intrigued by it because it mirrored an experience I had when I lived in Europe. I think I watched 15 minutes of it, turned it off and never watched it again.
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
I thought the Watchmen was one heaping pile of garbage that I want erased from my life.
Sin City was pretty god awful as well.
Pulp Fiction is high up on that list too.
Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula was awful.

Pulp Fiction, really?
I'm not sure Sin City and Watchmen were critically acclaimed either, I seem to remember Watchmen being mixed but I could be wrong. I was disappointed with it also though. Sin City had some interesting moments but it didn't really add up to anything.

I have no idea what people see in Rushmore.
Donnie Darko was another steaming pile.
