Rangers Need Goals

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Through five games, the Blueshirts' best players have been: 1. Henrik Lundqvist; 2. Fedor Tyutin; 3. Dan Girardi. In his role, the best forward has been Blair Betts. Uh oh.
In other words, is there any wonder why the Star Spangled Blueshirts have scored all of seven even-strength goals (and 10 overall) in a 2-3-0 getaway?

Groundhog Day
by George Malik on 10/14/07 at 02:45 PM ET
Comments (0)
For those of us who've been laughed at as "conspiracy theorists" and league-critical cynics of a Larry Brooks-like pedigree, Saturday was our Groundhog Day.
As in, we got to peek out of our little bunkers, point at our long shadows, and say, "We told you so."
We told you that the lockout was about franchise equity, and the concept that a franchise's bank value would increase exponentially when viewed as an entity with "cost certainty"—theoretically capped costs in terms of salary expenditures, directly tied to league-wide revenues, which effectively renders whether an individual team makes or loses money at the gate, in terms of ticket sales-vs.-expenditures, irrelevant.

Voloshenko and Wild May Part Ways
by Alanah McGinley on 10/14/07 at 02:32 PM ET

From John Shipley at the Pioneer Press,
Roman Voloshenko's stint as a Wild prospect appears over after he quit the club's top minor league team to play in Russia.
"I told him, 'I think if you go home, you'll never play in the NHL,' " Wild general manager Doug Risebrough said Saturday.
Voloshenko was the Wild's second-round pick in the 2004 entry draft, 42nd overall. A 6-foot-1, 200-pound wing, he made a splash in his debut with the Houston Aeros, earning 33 goals among 60 points in 69 games in 2005-06.

Havlat Will Not Require Surgery

from the Chicago Tribune,
While not quite official, it's appearing more and more likely Blackhawks winger Martin Havlat will not require surgery on his injured right shoulder.
The team has the opinion of four doctors and awaits a fifth and final one before making a final decision, but coach Denis Savard said he expects his star forward back in a matter of weeks, not months.

Showcase The Helmet

from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
Faithful reader Jim Burrows believes the NHL is missing out on a huge marketing/branding opportunity.
Burrows wonders why the league doesn't mandate the use of team logos on player helmets, making them as much a part of the uniform - and, more important, team identity - as they are in football.
"Can you imagine where the NFL would be if they had taken the same approach?" said Burrows. "Imagine the Colts playing away [games] with a blue helmet! The helmet is central to the brand in football."
more plus Kevin's weekly tour around the NHL and a good feature on Blues goaltender Hannu Toivonen.

Talking Las Vegas

from Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News,
"I think it's a very viable location," Buffalo-based Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs told the Boston Globe. "I think the league would be interested if the time came when it made itself available."
Early estimates suggest expansion costs, which were $80 million a few years ago, could soar to $250 million or more. The money would be distributed among the 30 teams, minus the 54 percent for the players, not a bad take. Bettman doesn't see the gambling issue as a major obstacle because hockey makes up such a small percentage of bets.
"We're small potatoes on the sports book," Bettman told reporters in Florida. "If we were going to Vegas, we would have to focus on that issue. But I don't think it's nearly the issue for us as it may be for [another league]."

Sid's Back

from Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star,
The record will show that Sidney Crosby came in to last night's game against Toronto in a 98-way tie for 147th place in the league scoring race.
Mathematical incompetence and late game scores from out west prevent us from formally updating the goal table.
But the 20-year-old left town having broken his '07-08 cherry – twice, for good measure, including the game winner – and all's right again in Sid World.
added 8:18am, from the Toronto Sun,
About two hours after Myers dropped puck in the ceremonial opening faceoff between Crosby and Mats Sundin, Sid The Kid drove the final dagger into Austin Powers' beloved blue-and-white by tapping home a loose puck for the winning goal in a wild 6-4 Penguins victory.
"He's a pretty big fan, isn't he?" Crosby said of Myers, a long-time crazed Leafs supporter.

NHLPA To Become Strong Again
by Paul on 10/14/07 at 09:44 AM ET

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Gary Bettman, who spent the lockout trying to break the NHLPA (and would have succeeded if not for the efforts of people such as Chris Chelios, Trent Klatt, Steve Larmer and Eric Lindros), recently went on the record insisting he believes in and welcomes a strong union across from him at the table.
Well, the commissioner is going to get what he wished for, because once Paul Kelly, the former assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, becomes NHLPA executive director, that's exactly what the union will again become.

Power Outage in San Jose

From David Pollak at the SJ Mercury News,
A pregame power outage delayed the start of the Sharks home opener Saturday night by about 20 minutes.
Players were warming up on the ice when the arena bowl went totally dark about 7:05 p.m. Five seconds later, the HP Pavilion generators kicked in and there was enough light for the players to continue skating, but limited power elsewhere in the building.
Fans weren't able to enter the building for a short period and the parking lot was also dark.
As efforts were being made to restore the power, Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson and Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli huddled to determine the best way to begin the game once conditions were ready.

Moira Kelly was born the third of six children in Queens, New York City, in March of 1968; her father was a professional violinist and her mother, a nurse. Inspired by classical and big band music, young Kelly followed in her father's musical footsteps by trying her hand at the violin, drums, and flute. Kelly was raised in Ronkonkoma, NY, and competed in opera while attending Connetquot High School in the mid-'80s. It was there that the acting bug bit, and when Kelly was cast in a small role in the high school's production of Annie, her role was unexpectedly expanded as the actress playing Miss Hannigan fell ill and Kelly was recast as Grace Ferrell. Rounding out her education at New York City's Marymount Manhattan College, Kelly worked a series of odd jobs while attending college in order to finance her education. Facing an important life decision, Kelly began to weigh her childhood dream of becoming a nun against a busy life in the limelight. Convinced by her priest that acting may be part of God's larger plan for her, Kelly eagerly began work on her first feature.
Kicking off her career with a made-for-television feature entitled Love, Lies & Murder, Kelly would soon transition to the big screen, appearing in Billy Bathgate and the popular ice skating movie The Cutting Edge. Subsequently replacing Lara Flynn Boyle in director David Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the conflicted Kelly once again approached her priest to ask for guidance in a film that contained frank and explicit sexuality. Next drawing attention in dual roles as cinema legend Charles Chaplin's first love and fourth wife in Richard Attenborough's Chaplin, it was obvious to many that Kelly had a bright future ahead of her. Kelly's diversity truly began to shine in the mid- to late '90s, and though such films as Little Odessa (1994) and Changing Habits (1997) may not have found wide release or reached blockbuster status, the people who did happen to catch them when they were released on video found her performances as moving as ever. Rounding out the decade with everything from vocal work in The Lion King (1994) to a role as social activist Dorothy Day in Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story. She would next tackle the small screen with a role on The West Wing, and spent the next several years appearing on TV with the show One Tree Hill, as well as with other film projects like The Safety of Objects and Two Tickets to Paradise.

Historical Traveler Reviews Barnsley House
Could so easily be perfect....
Just returned from a trip to Barnsley House and had high expectations. House and gardens are lovely and reception area is nice with the modern blending in really well with the old stone house. Our room wasn't going to be ready until 4ish which wasn't really a problem so we went over the Village Pub across the road owned by Barnsley House. Very pleasant staff who made a real effort and food was good, solid pub food (roast beef etc). Our room was fantastic (room 9) and consisted of lounge and bathroom downstairs and excellent bedroom upstairs. All kitted out with the latest TVs and Bose sound systems, even a mini plasma tv at the end of the bed. One of the best rooms we have ever stayed in. We had booked a table in the restaurant for 9pm and headed down to the small bar shortly before. Bar is very trendy but cosy and we liked it. Drinks were well prepared although expensive (Bloody Mary �10 plus compulsory service for example) and service good. Dinning room was nice and about half full. Despite this the service was unbelievably slow and staff seemed to be in a dreamworld. Didn't matter too much to us but could see other diners getting annoyed and heard some complaining afterwards. Food was fine and the Vincigrassi pasta certainly worth a mention. Coffee in the morning room afterwards with log fire was a nice end to the evening. On our way to bed we stopped at reception to ask if we could keep our room for an extra hour the next morning as we had been delayed 2hours from the check in time we were given before leaving London by guests before us checking out late. The evening receptionist wasn't interested in helping so called the owner who was still around and he was less bothered and rude about our supposedly ridiculous request. The next morning we were phoned at 1055 and told if we weren't in reception ready to check out at 11am we would be charged. As we were paying our bill to the receptionist the owner rudely stood over us supervising, not speaking a word until we were out the door. All in all it could have been amazing but couple of little silly things ruined it. Some very helpful and pleasant members of staff but management only want your pound note and don't seem particularly interested in ensuring you enjoy your stay or even saying hello! Stick to Cowley Manor or Chewton Glen for the same money and better idea how to run an upmarket hotel.
Romantic and Relaxing
Spent a very enjoyable weekend at Barnsley House. The Room (#2) was great with a superb bathroom. Just what was needed for a relaxing break from the kids. The food was also good and the Vincisgrassi highly recommended for pasta lovers. No evidence of poor service, as others have mentioned, since we found it excellent and the staff were attentive and friendly. The only niggle (hence a 4 rating rather than 5) is that the bar and lounge are small and therefore in the evening tend to get taken over by non-residents arriving for dinner.
However this didn't spoil our stay and we would definitely go back
Fawlty Towers comes to Barnsley House
'We're better than Babington House', said the Reservations Manager. No hot water all night: the chef's not doing sandwiches; cold coffee and a 35 minute wait for breakfast to list a few of the endless problems. A small discount was the only ackowedgement of these relentless disappointments and a month later and despite chasing through Mr & Mrs Smith no reply to our letter of complaint. Certainly not Babington House, maybe Fawlty Towers - if only Basil could have charged �365 for a night!
Try it for lunch & enjoy the garden
With such a famous garden now closed to the public and the hotel prices so very high, it was suggested to us that we go for lunch & then tour the garden. We very much enjoyed it. Booked in for a 12:30 Sunday lunch, had a cocktail on the patio, strolled through the laburnum arch. Inside we enjoyed a lovely lunch for �25 each without drinks. Very good food, nice service, elegant surroundings.
We found the bar to be a weird space, overly draped in dark fabric (trying to be a somber copy of the Delano?) and very small. So, go in good weather & drink outside.
The garden is NOT being maintained to previous standards, so visit it soon !!!
An Exquisite Haven
We had a very memorable evening last Saturday night. It was our first weekend away alone without our children for some time and although we had decided to stay at Cowley Manor which was wonderful, we were very keen to experience Barnsley House after everything which we had read. Although we had expected something very special, it really surpased our expectations. They have created an exquisite haven in which to relax. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. We look forward to returning to stay very soon.
Well done for creating such a perfect place to unwind.
Not the new babington
Why this is one of the "top 50 hotels in the world (conde nast traveller)" I dont know. Distinctly lacking in atmosphere and service.
To be fair the house is nice, the room was good and the food was good.
But when you're paying upwards of �260 a night the service is simply not good enough. We waited 30mins for breakfast and about the same in between each course at dinner. Half the staff didn't seem to speak english. One of the courses was wrong. The Village pub is OK but nothing special - bit like a small town bistro. The overall experience is very identikit - but somehow the whole is less than the sum of the parts. You can imagine the owner going down a checklist....funky bar; tick, flat screen tvs; tick, roll top bath; tick but it just doesn't work. Probably a good place to go for Sunday lunch but I shant rush back.
Welcome? what welcome?
Having read various flattering articles about Barnsley House over the last year or so - I thought this would be an opportunity to see if it was a suitable hotel for mother and step-father to stay on future visits, to be within striking distance of 3 of their several children.
As we admired the sloping lawn and cherry blossom, we were accosted with the words 'can I help you? in a 'what do you want?' sort of voice, by a woman blocking the doorway with arms crossed. Having explained our wish to view the hotel with future visits in mind, we were told 'you can't go into the gardens; they're closed'. We were grudgingly handed the minuscule brochure, supervised like shoplifters as we attempted to glance into the (miniature) reception rooms. 'Well we only have 9 bedrooms' was the response when I queried whether there was another sitting room. The lurid 1960's red and black bar was a bit of a shock in such a lovely old Cotswold building. Step-pa dared to look into the dining room, despite being warned off by the charmless receptionist because someone was eating there! (and it was 4pm) There was obviously no point in asking to see a bedroom and so we retreated from this unbelievable reception as the door was slammed on our heels. The first word you see when you open the brochure is 'welcoming' - a joke, obviously.
Heaven on Earth
This place is heaven on earth. Small country house hotel which has been sumptiously refurbished throughtout. If you are looking for amenities that a larger hotel offers this is not the place for you. Whereas if you want to spend a weekend of pure luxury with your loved one this is it. Only nine roons we have already been back 3 times in the last 6 months and all have been stunning. Modern yet romantic. Room 2 is lovely with a hugh jacuzzi perfect for sipping the free bottle of champagne you receive on arrival and then the larger suite of room 8 we preferred room 6 in the eaves which is possibly cosier. The small yet wonderful morning room with a log fire is what you would expect of a country house but the real shock is a small quirky trendy/boudoir type bar which wouldn't look out of place in a hip bar in London. The Food is good but there are better Chefs delivering higher quality food from their kitchens. However we felt it is about the whole experience and this place wins hands down than anywhere we have stayed in the UK.
Having only been opened a year we sincerely hope the excellent standards remain. Can't wait for the warmer weather so we can experience the gardens of Barnsley House. It is expensive but then somethings you can't put a price on.
An Expensive Way to Get No Sleep
There are good things and not so good things about Barnsley House. On the plus side, the location is convenient to visit the rest of the Cotswolds, the house and gardens enchanting and the decoration impressively modern. Our bedroom (I think Room 2) had a big comfy bed, excellent linen, seating area, fresh flowers and fabulous views over the gardens. There is an equally large and beautiful bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and shower big enough for a rugby team. Free champagne and fresh orange juice are put into your room each day. Staff mainly good.However despite all of this being up to expectations, some other aspects of our stay were a disappointment - especially at £350/night. The main problem concerned the slamming of doors all night long. The main culprit seems to be a service fire door into the kitchen which shakes the walls every time someone goes through. Each time I complained someone offered to leave it propped open. A few hours later - slam - there it goes again. I was woken at 6am both mornings (presumably setting up for breakfast) and kept awake both nights. I can truly say it was the least peaceful night I have had in a hotel for a long time (I think since back-packing in Delhi 20 years ago). On departing, when I told the manager and owner how much it had spoiled my stay it became clear that they had received complaints previously. However they seemed not remotely bothered and seemed to have no suggestions of how they could improve this unacceptable situation. I told them that I would not recommend the place because of this.Other minor disappointments...the house is on a pretty busy road - although set back. Therefore rooms on the front of the house are likely to get traffice noise at some times (although not likely during the late night) and this detracts from the perfection you may be expecting. The other annoyance was that it seems everyone is booked to come to dinner at 8pm. We had made our booking for this time and went to the bar for a drink and to look at menus. However there was no space for us in the bar, the reception area or the morning room. So we had to go straight into the restaurant. There we waited 30 minutes to have our order taken (meanwhile no drink except water) and then a further 30 minutes for starters to arrive. The food was excellent - but an hour at a table waiting for a starter is not good enough. They should pace the table bookings better.All in all I came away feeling that the place is nearly excellent. If they have solved the slamming door problem then I would recommend it. If they have not - and the attitude of the people I met indicated that they are not motivated to do anything about it - then definitely do not go unless you sleep soundly through loud bangs and shaking walls.
Welcome to the shark tank
Everything looked lovely on the website, so we decided, with my 6months-pregnant wife, to book a few days with them. My wife made a reservation for a special offer they had for ?295 per room per day half board for 4 days, which did sound attractive, and was told on the phone the cancellation policy was 10 days, but the whole booking needed to be paid upfront. So she paid. The next morning, she slipped on ice and broke an arm. When we phoned back to cancel immediately, we were told we should have checked on the website that this particular offer was not refundable under any circumstances, but that they were going to check with the owner the following week, as he was away -and this despite our mention of their own staff's mention of 10 days' cancellation policy on the phone! And the owner refused to re-imburse us. It so happened that my wife works in the financial services and her phones are recorded, so we extracted the tapes where the Barnsley House employee does indeed mention the 10 day cancellation policy about this particular booking, and let Barnsley House know that we had that evidence. Only then were we told that we may -subject to the famous owner agreeing- get a credit note, but under no circumstances our money back. We are now working on this. The place still looks pleasant on paper, but be warned, the owner likes to keep any cash he manages to extract from you, fairly or not, and in our case a four-figure sum which is not negligible for us, even if he had to turn down nobody as a result of our cancellation, his own staff had misled us about the cancellation policy, and there were medical grounds for our inability to travel.

Day 1 & 2 Getting to Oxford
... so can't use those over-the-head headphones supplied by most airlines. They sit down too low below my ears so I have to hold them up to be able to hear anything. This gets old very quickly so normally I just don't bother trying to watch anything. Qantas also have two-pronged connectors, so i cant use my iPhone earphones unless I want to listen with only one ear. I noticed one of the little kids across the aisle quite happily watching ...

... before 2 pm in the church yard at Letcombe Regis. It's a delightful setting, and once again the church is a place of restoration of weary pilgrims. Debby's reverberating Vedic chants sounded wonderful in the calm atmosphere inside before we are surprised by an equally surprised Church Warden entering.

Showering in the swimming pool
... We had suggestions such as the ability to shoot milk, the ability to turn into fruit, the ability to turn anything orange, and the ability to make people sneeze.
It is 12:05 here now, and we've closed up the office. I'm sitting here with Emma and Tom, and Tom is eating a Pizza Van pizza, and it is taking every ounce of self control I have to not snatch it away from him because it smells so good. Better go to bed and not risk a pizza attack.
The Prologue
... he worked abroad. The next thing I remember is walking out of the airport in Bangkok and the excitement/anxiety that came with it. There's nothing like that feeling of realising you're on your own and I've been chasing it ever since.
I won't go into too much detail on that trip. I think it suffices to say it was incredible and inspired me to do what I'll be doing come April. I'll leave you with a few of the highlights:

African wild ass 370.
(photo credit:Wikimedia Commons)
On September 14, 1972, the IAF's international squadron embarked upon a special mission to airlift a dozen African wild asses from Ethiopia to Israel, where they had become extinct. The man behind the mission, armed with a vision of returning biblical animals to their homes in Israel and reinforcing populations of endangered species, was the late Major-General Avraham YoffeAlongside Uri Tzon, Yoffe established the Hai Bar nature reserve in Yotvata in 1968, as part of this vision. He later became the first director of the Nature Reserves Authority (NRA), which assumed responsibility for the Hai Bar reserve, preparing desert animals for the wild, acclimatizing them in a "reintroduction area" until they are ready for release.By the beginning of the 1970s, the wildlife sanctuary already held six wild asses, four antelope and four rams. But there was a long list of biblical animals missing, among them the African wild ass, which is mentioned several times in the bible and Talmud. The ass, with its it striped legs, is the forefather of the modern domestic ass and is extremely rare both in nature and captivity.In 1972, the African wild ass was on the brink of extinction, and the surviving few were in a troubled region in the Ethiopian desert, in the clutches of famine, disease and war. A small number of the animals were held in different zoos across the world, but they never bred in captivity, and the chance of getting hold of one was slim.According to an IAF account of the mission, in June 1972, Yoffe flew to the US where he met with an old friend who ran a zoo just outside of New York, and told him about two Italian animal traders in Ethiopia who had encountered a large herd of African wild asses in a remote desert village. Initially the Americans intended to purchase the animals, however, they were deterred by the fear that the asses carried dangerous diseases. Yoffe, however, seized the opportunity, and informed the Ethiopians that he would buy the animals for the Chai Bar animal association.The Ethiopian government demanded that $90,000 be paid in cash, according to the IAF report, which was no easy feat for Yoffe. He made numerous attempts at raising the cash from various entities in Israel, eventually convincing the Education Ministry of the historical and biblical importance of bringing over the animal, and the Treasury granted him the loan. Check in hand, the Nature Reserve Authority's Giora Ilani flew to Ethiopia for approval to take the asses. This took a month and a half.The next obstacle was the Air Force. IAF Major General (res.) Motti Hod initially ridiculed the request, quoted as saying, "Why African wild ass? Take a normal donkey, paint stripes on his legs, and you have an African wild ass!" But Yoffe's persistence paid off, and finally all the required participants were on board.The mission required the use of a Hercules aircraft, obtained by the IAF a year earlier, as it was the only military Israeli aircraft capable of taking off and landing on dirt paths. On September 12, the plane embarked on its special mission, under the command of Brigadier General (Res.) Joshua Shani, then deputy commander of the squadron. The plane flew to Addis-Ababa airport, and from there to a makeshift airfield in Assab. "It was a huge plane…in the middle of nowhere in Africa. We had to make every decision on our own, the responsibility was huge," Shani recalled to the IAF magazine. "And then suddenly, on the horizon, I saw a big cloud of dust and some trucks approaching us. It was simply an unbelievable scene: trucks emerged from the heart of the desert, in the middle of the wilderness, and inside them 12 African wild asses, strange types of donkeys with stripes on their legs. And we had to load these donkeys into the cargo and take off with them."Just after midnight on September 15, the Hercules landed at the Etzion air base in Sinai, and the 12 asses were brought safely to their new home in Yotvata.Yaffe's triumphs did not stop there and he continued his tireless efforts to bring biblical animals back to the land they once inhabited."These are times when nature needs some help," Yoffe told The Milwaukee Sentinel 10 years later, after having obtained addax antelopes from a New York animal park, Asian wild asses from European zoos and having revisited the Ethiopian desert for some ostriches. "The Hai-Bar project is one of the best ways we can think of to help get back on with the process of living and growing."Thus Yoffe ensured that biblical wildlife did not disappear from Israel's landscape, and the African wild asses now roam free in the 4,000 acre Yotvata reserve, together with brown Asian wild asses, Arabian oryx, ostriches, scimitar horned oryx and addax.

The New York Yankees are ready to welcome back a face from the past while seeing an unfamiliar one Friday night.
The Yankees host Jason Giambi(notes) and the Colorado Rockies as they get their first look at Ubaldo Jimenez(notes) in the opener of a three-game set.
Colorado (37-37) is making its first trip to the new Yankee Stadium, and the Bronx holds plenty of memories for Giambi. The slugger signed a $120 million, seven-year contract with New York after the 2001 season.
Giambi started his New York tenure with back-to-back 41-home run seasons before declining in subsequent years. He was slowed by numerous injuries and dogged by steroid allegations that culminated in a vague apology to fans.
This is Giambi's second trip to the new Yankee Stadium. He went 1 for 10 with three strikeouts in two games with Oakland from April 21-22, 2009.
The slugger has taken advantage of interleague play on the road to start the last three games at designated hitter, going 4 for 12 with a three-run homer as the Rockies took two of three in Cleveland. He's expected to serve as the DH on Friday against right-hander A.J. Burnett(notes) (7-5, 4.05 ERA).
Jimenez (2-7, 4.68) is excited about facing the Yankees (43-30) for the first time. He has gone 5-1 with a 4.18 ERA in his last seven interleague starts.
"It's going to be a really big experience, not only for me but everybody that hasn't been there," Jimenez told the Rockies' official website. "There's a lot of history about the Yankees team. They have a lot of pride. They have a lot of honor. They've won 20-something World Series. That says a lot about the team."
The right-hander notched a victory Saturday when he gave up three runs over five innings of a 5-4 win over Detroit. Jimenez exited after 83 pitches with a right calf cramp, but says he is OK.
Although New York has not faced Jimenez, some of its hitters have. Russell Martin(notes) is 8 for 25, Mark Teixeira(notes) is 0 for 8 with four strikeouts and Curtis Granderson(notes) is 2 for 7 against Jimenez.
Colorado was swept in its previous series in the Bronx from June 8-10, 2004. The Rockies swept a three-game home set en route to their lone NL pennant the last time these teams met in 2007.
Both teams have won every interleague series they have played in this season, with Colorado going 4-2 and New York 6-3.
The Yankees, winners of six of seven at home, have had off days sandwiched around Wednesday's doubleheader split at Cincinnati that capped a 4-2 trip.
"If you can win series, you're having a good trip," manager Joe Girardi said.
The Rockies have won six of eight. Seth Smith(notes) was the hitting star against the Indians, going 6 of 13 with two doubles, two homers and three RBIs.
Burnett has not faced the Rockies since joining the AL with Toronto in 2006, going 2-2 with a 2.40 ERA in four starts against them between 2001-04. Giambi is 5 for 23 (.238) against him and Todd Helton(notes) 4 for 12.
The Yankees starter had lost two straight outings before earning a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, yielding two runs over 5 1-3 innings.

What is stand-up comedy?
Stand-up comedy is a performance for a live audience. Usually one or multiple performers called comics or stand-up comedians are speaking directly to their audience. Typically a performer tells a routine of jokes or funny monologue with various stories and anecdotes chained together.
It's not uncommon for acting, pantomime, magic tricks * or singing to be used to increase variety of such performance.
In United Kingdom stand-up comedy began gaining popularity in 18th century and raised many great performers like Arthur Askey, Max Miller and Ken Dodd. The comedians were heavily censored and had to get their act approved and adapted to the censorship.

...against 3. Qf3 in the falkbeer countergambit?
Hmm, I don't know if I'd take a pawn as black. f3 doesn't feel like a good square to use for the queen so I'd like her to stay there. Also makes d4 feel weak. I'm thinking Nc6... although I guess white plays Bb5 which helps him solve potentially annoying kinside development due to the queen on f3.After 3...exf4 4.Qxf4 I wouldn't play 4...Qe7. Again this just hinders kingside development. 4...dxe with Be7 and Nf6 and white is loosing a bit of time and his kingside is loose. Plus with both center pawns gone black's development will be faster / easier in any case. So actually taking the pawns seems to work out nicely for black.
f3 doesn't feel like a good square to use for the queen.
Which is one of the main purposes of this thread!!
3...Nc6 looks like a good start. That queen on f3 makes Nd4 an atractive threat (e.g. 4.fxe5 Nd4 or 4.Nc3 dex4 5.Nxe4 Nd4)

John Koskinen likes to keep people guessing. Ten years ago, as deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget, he surprised many by telling the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee that OMB should not replace the General Services Administration in managing information technology. He also said the chief information officer function should be placed in individual agencies rather than centralized at OMB.
That testimony went against Koskinen's self-interest, because he would have been the most likely choice to serve as a governmentwide CIO. The Clinger-Cohen Act that followed those committee hearings has placed CIO responsibilities squarely in agencies ever since.
Koskinen is again confounding expectations. After serving as the Year 2000 czar during the Clinton administration and then, once again confounding expectations, as deputy mayor and city administrator of the formerly bankrupt District of Columbia, he left government. And, though he had previously served 21 years as a leading turnaround specialist for corporate America, he didn't go back into business either.
Today, Koskinen is president of the U.S. Soccer Foundation. His goal is to spread excitement about the sport.
Growing up in Kentucky, Koskinen played center on his high school's football team and knew nothing of soccer. But in the mid-1970s, when his son started playing soccer, Koskinen began learning the game, and pretty soon he was coaching both his son's and daughter's travel teams. He got so hooked he started a professional league in 1987 and even owned one of the teams "a great hedge against wealth creation," he chuckles.
Koskinen joined the board of the foundation when it was created in 1993 out of surplus funds from the effort to bring the the World Cup to Washington, but he dropped out when he went to OMB and then rejoined when he left the White House. After leaving the D.C. post, he was asked to be the foundation's interim chief executive officer and wryly notes it was hard to claim he didn't have time. A couple of weeks later, he was asked to consider making the role permanent and, after thinking briefly, said, "Why not?"
Koskinen doesn't serve alongside a president or mayor anymore, but last month he was with a governor. He joined George Pataki to dedicate New York City's new lighted soccer field at Pier 40.

Anti-domestic violence campaigners call for law change
Psychological abuse should be made a crime, according to campaigners, who want legislation to be brought in to make "coercive control" an arrestable offence.
Psychological abuse should be made a crime, according to campaigners, who want legislation to be brought in to make "coercive control" an arrestable offence.
The criminal justice system needs to focus on more than physical violence when pursuing a domestic violence case, experts said.
The chief executive of Women's Aid, Polly Neate, said in order to prevent the two deaths which occur every week at the hands of a controlling partner or ex-partner, authorities would need to take the psychological harm inflicted on the victim into account as well.
These survey results clearly reflect what our member services have been telling us for a long time: the criminal justice focus on individual incidents of physical violence cannot reflect the ongoing psychological harm caused by coercive control in intimate relationships.
We welcome the Government's recognition of coercive control in the Home Office definition of domestic violence...
Two women a week die at the hands of a partner or ex-partner; the next step to preventing these deaths is reform to allow the criminal justice system to take account of patterns of controlling and violent behaviour.
A funeral is to be held outside in the US state of Georgia for Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown.
Experts have warned that Ash dieback's impact on millions of trees could have serious consequences for the landscape and wildlife.

Marlborough's cricketing youngsters are set to be the major benefactors when the Mick Jellyman Charitable Trust holds a dinner and auction at the Redwood Tavern on November 26.
The trust is charged with rasing funds to help the province's junior cricketers.
Organiser Martyn Wilson said there were some good items for auction, including English cricketer Alistair Cook's signed English shirt, a Makos jersey which has been signed by the whole team and a Makos jersey signed by the four All Blacks, who visited Blenheim recently.
The curry night and auction will begin at 6.30pm.
Tickets are available from Wilson, 0274331759, Greg Stretch 0278571 845 and Graeme Hawtin 03-5786626.

Justin Bieber On Selena Gomez Relationship: "I'm Just Trying To Make Her Happy"
The 'One Time' singer opens up on his personal life and admits every girl is a princess.
Justin Bieber has spoken out about his relationship with Selena Gomez and confessed that he just wants to "make her happy" because every girl is a princess.
The 'Never Say Never' star told Seventeen magazine that it is important to treat all women well.
He admitted: "I'm just trying to make her happy, that's all. I think it's important to make all women feel like they're princesses, because every girl is a princess. I'm serious."
Justin opened up for the first time on his relationship with the Disney star last month and confessed he thought it would have been unfair to hide the fact that the couple are dating.
Meanwhile, Justin is busy preparing for the release of his new album 'Believe' and recently told Capital that he had recorded with country star Taylor Swift for the record.
The Canadian star is also preparing to unveil the highly anticipated music video to his new single 'Boyfriend'.

Frankie Velasquez, Boyle Heights 20-Year-Old, Murdered While Walking to Liquor Store With Cousin
"RIP Frankie you will never be forgotten"
@kimbohhh via Twitter
LAPD detectives at the Hollenbeck Station have had no luck tracking down the shooter in a May 5 murder that downed 20-year-old Boyle Heights resident Frankie Valesquez.
"He was walking to the liquor store with his cousin," says Detective Stephanie Carrillo. She says "it's unknown at this time" whether the shooting was gang-related.
Twitter exchanges between Velasquez' friends and family...
... indicate that he was in the hospital for at least a day before succumbing to his wounds. "He's in surgery right now , my brother can pull threw," wrote Alizza Velasquez on May 6. But by later that night, the R.I.P.s were flowing in.
@_Maarlenee me neither! I'm still like this :o It's so sad poor Frankie didn't deserve to have his life taken away— Eunice Calderon (@ShortCinderella) May 7, 2012
An anonymous commenter on Start Over News Magazine writes, "I worked with this young man he he was a very quiet person and a good worker. He will be missed."
According to the LAPD report, Velasquez was shot by an unknown suspect with a handgun around 9:45 p.m. on Saturday night.
The victim was walking with his cousin, who was uninjured, near 1st and Gless Streets at the time. There does appear to be a liquor store at that intersection:

Also located nearby is the Boyle Heights Christian Center and Pecan Park.
Detectives have yet to find the murder weapon. Anyone with information about the suspect or the crime in general is urged to call Detective Carillo at (323) 342-8959.

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter- We noted before that there were two scripts written up for the three-hour June 11th RAW Supershow. The one they used featured a lot of Vince McMahon and the one they didn't used had a lot less Vince and a lot more focus on the wrestlers.
- While some of the best talents in FCW (Seth Rollins, Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno, Dean Ambrose) came from the independent scene, there is a belief that the indy scene is not producing enough talent with WWE potential.
That belief along with Triple H building his management team with people experienced in other sports gives you an idea of his direction with developmental. They are going with the idea that signing top level athletes and teaching them to be wrestlers will develop the kind of marquee guys that can be Superstars.

Why would ANYONE want to dress like katy perry. She never looks good and that's the truth. I honestly don't get why people love her so much. I don't think her music is that good. Her voice isn't that great and the way she presents herself sometimes is disgusting. She wears some SUPER inappropriate stuff.
by Icecreamluver on 7/5/2012 11:46:06 AM
I'm sorry but why would you want to wear this?

Calif. police officer killed chasing robbers
The officer was hit by gunfire when a suspect exited his car and ran
Associated Press
VALLEJO, Calif. — A veteran police officer was killed Thursday when he was shot during a pursuit of bank robbery suspects, authorities said Thursday.
Vallejo Police Officer Jim Capoot was chasing suspects who had abandoned a getaway vehicle after a robbery at Bank of America around 2:15 p.m. Thursday, Sgt. Jeff Bassett said at a news conference Thursday night.
Capoot, 43, died in a hospital after the shooting. He had been with the department for 19 years, Bassett said.
"He was a guy who was loved by everybody," Bassett said in describing the veteran officer. "There is nobody at the police department who is not deeply affected by this."
Capoot was married with three daughters, Bassett said.
Police arrested one person but were still looking for a second suspect. It was unclear if the person arrested was the suspect believed to have shot Capoot.
After the shooting, officers from surrounding communities, California Highway Patrol officers and SWAT teams were called in to the area to search for the second suspect.
Bassett did not say how many officers were involved in the search but described it as "numerous."
"Keep your doors locked. If you hear anything unusual, please call us," he said.
Capoot's death is the first killing of a Vallejo officer since Jeffrey Azuar was killed on April 12, 2000, while trying to arrest a suspect on an outstanding warrant, The Times-Herald reported.
Capoot was the fourth Vallejo officer killed in the line of the duty in the city's 155-year history.

Etana returns with her brand new digital-only EP 'Reggae' on November 13th. The three song preview off her upcoming third studio album 'Better Tomorrow' is entirely produced by Shane Brown – who was behind Busy Signal's acclaimed 'Reggae Music Again' – and gives a taste of what's to come in February 2013.
As usual, Etana incorporates elements of reggae, soul and pop into her captivating sound that tackles real life experiences.
Her unabashed romanticism shines on the soulful Reggae and the R&B tinged 4 Play 2 Love (Start Over) about her torn feelings of two lovers. The single Better Tomorrow addresses the atrocities of children in poverty-stricken communities, while instilling optimism for brighter days.
