Let's admit it: Love it or hate it, Windows 8 was designed for touch screens. Its new facade, the colorful quilt of square tiles that I call TileWorld, was born for finger operation.
Unfortunately, most PCs don't have touch screens — "yet," says Microsoft, which insists their time is coming. On the premise that Microsoft knows what it's talking about, one company after another has been introducing computers, mostly laptops, with built-in touch screens for Windows 8.
Many of these machines have screens that flip, twist, rotate, or detach so that you can use them either as laptops or as tablets. The HP Envy x2, Lenovo Yoga, Lenovo Helix, Dell XPS 12, Asus Vivo Tab, Asus Transformer Book, and the Acer Iconia W510 all fall into this category.
Most of those use a stripped-down, low-powered processor. They have enough juice for tablet apps, but you'll find them slow for desktop PC tasks.
That's not true of Microsoft's own Surface Pro, which packs Intel's powerful i5 processor. When I reviewed this sleek, attractive tablet/PC in February, I noted it was an incredibly well-executed hybrid. It's a half-inch-thin, 2-pound tablet, but the kickstand in back and the keyboard/screen cover in front let you turn it into a real Windows desktop PC in seconds. Its limitations are a feeble battery, undersized keyboard, and limited storage (only 23 gigabytes in the $900 model).
Which brings us to this piece of reader mail, which arrived shortly after that column was published: "How could you write about the Surface Pro without mentioning the Samsung Ativ PC Pro ($1,200)? It has the same Intel processor as the Surface Pro, but much better battery life, bigger screen, bigger keyboard, 1080p screen, and more storage. Yet it's still under two pounds."
My jaw dropped. It's obvious that Microsoft had put every droplet of engineering talent it had into the Surface Pro. It's Microsoft's shining golden boy, its proof that Windows 8 isn't a tragic misfire. Could Samsung really have something better already?
Sadly, no. My reader was mistaken about a couple of things.
The full name of the machine he was describing is the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T, which at 18 syllables sounds as if it were named by the federal government. It's a laptop whose screen detaches, becoming a tablet, when you press a release button and tug. Awkwardly enough, in laptop mode, the detach button covers up the Windows button used to open Windows 8's Start screen. In laptop mode, you have to use the Windows key on the keyboard instead.
Yes, the Samsung weighs less than 2 pounds (1.9, actually), but that's the weight of the detached screen alone. With the keyboard attached, the whole thing weighs 3.5 pounds. So right off the bat, this machine isn't comparable to the Surface Pro, which weighs 2 pounds for everything.
All of the Smart PC Pro's guts — battery, processor, memory, cameras, and so on — are in the screen. They make the top half of the laptop weirdly heavier and thicker than the bottom half, which contains only the keyboard. In other words, in laptop mode, the whole thing is top-heavy.
Some rival detachable-screen laptops are even more top-heavy — the screen portion flops away from you at the slightest touch. Then again, some of the Samsung's competitors also incorporate a second battery in the keyboard base. That helps with both battery life and weight distribution.
When you detach the screen, the tablet in your hands feels off. It's too thick, too heavy, too plasticky; the iPad and the Surface have spoiled us.
And it's a wide, thin rectangle that suits movies well but feels ridiculous when turned 90 degrees. You feel as if you're holding a diving board.
The "128-gigabyte" Smart PC offers only 60 gigabytes free for storing files, but there's a microSD memory-card slot for expansion. There's one USB 3.0 jack in the screen half, positioned awkwardly, almost uselessly, on the top edge in laptop mode. Fortunately, the keyboard half has two more USB jacks.
You can project the screen image to a TV or projector either through a cable (micro HDMI) or wirelessly, using WiDi. That's a technology that, like Apple's AirPlay, requires a $100 receiver connected to the TV or projector.
The speed of this machine is excellent; it's about what you'd expect from a high-end ultrabook, or from Microsoft's Surface Pro. And there's no denying the pleasure and utility of being able to run real Windows software — your Photoshops, your Quickens, your iTuneses — on a touch-screen tablet. Of course, as a Windows 8 machine, this device also runs the new-style, full-screen TileWorld apps; the Samsung comes with several preinstalled, like Netflix and Amazon Kindle Reader.
Samsung says the Smart PC offers an eight-hour battery; in the real world, five hours is more like it. That's better than the Surface Pro but still nothing like the all-day life you'd get from a real laptop.
No question about it: The Samsung beats the Surface Pro in a few categories. You get a keyboard with more spacious keys and deeper travel. You get a bigger screen (11.6 inches versus 10.6). You get more storage. And you can adjust the screen angle on the Samsung; the built-in kickstand on the Surface has a fixed angle. That said, the Samsung's hinge doesn't permit as wide a screen angle as real laptops do.
Unfortunately, you're also paying more (the Surface Pro is $1,130 with the good keyboard cover) and getting a hybrid that's much thicker, bulkier, heavier — and uglier.
Worse, you're paying full laptop-plus-tablet price for a machine that's not especially good at being either one. For the $1,200 you'd pay for this Samsung, you could get a very nice laptop that doesn't leave out laptoppy features like an Ethernet jack and a full-size slot for your camera's memory card.

I woke up and it was spring, not just spring, but, 88 degrees in the house by 6 in the evening and hot and humid. I wasn't ready for spring. Did I mention it was snowing last week? Maybe that has something to do with my lack of preparedness. For me, spring means spring cleaning, which is impossible with an (almost) toddler. Having a toddler means it rains Cheerios and other tiny crumbed snacks, all the time, day and night. Vacuuming three times a day still isn't enough. It's like trying to keep up with a really cute Tasmanian devil.
Here in the tri-state area, we have two types of weather, predominantly. We have humid and we have snow. Fall is the best season. In the fall, we still have the wonderful summer produce available, but it's cool and the leaves are gorgeous and nobody wants you to eat asparagus, just warm, wonderfully sweet things like pumpkin and squash. Autumn is my favorite season. But, to get to that, we have to get through the hot and the humid. This means, I better clean up my act.
I feel sluggish and tired and whiny about it being hot and humid. Where's my spring fever? This weather usually makes people bounce around like gummy bears! I never understood that. But, I guess I'm outnumbered and I need to get in gear. I need to eat some nothing soup. The soup that has absolutely nothing bad in it and only good stuff in it. It's spring cleaning for my brain. Vegan? yes. Gluten-free? I assume it's gluten-free, since there's nothing in it. Carrots are gluten free, right? Naturally filling with practically a negative amount of calories? Yes, please. It's also guilt-free and worry-free. It's "nothing soup", so it's ok. You could eat 3 pots full, if you wanted. You probably won't want to, but I guess you could.
I eat it and it makes my brain less crazy. Then I clean. Clean the brain, clean the house. It's Spring.
An added bonus: I made this yesterday and Trey ate it and raved about it. I don't know how. I don't know why. But he did, so I tried not to question it. Maybe he loves nothing too.

PATBNTED AUG. 11, 190s.
P. E. BssBm SANDAL. APPLIOATION FILED AUG. ze, 1902'.
Tn: cams Pzrzns co. wow-Uma.. wAsnlNsToN. n. c.
AUNITED STATES Patented August 11, 1903:
FELEQIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,194, dated August 11, 1903. Application filed August 28, 1902. Serial No. 121,350. (No model.)
Massachusetts, have invented certain new.
and useful Improvements in Sandals; and I do declare the following toA be a full, clear,
and exact description` of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertainsto make and use the same. The invention relates to sandals.
The object ofthe invention is to provide a sandal which is simple of construction, durable in use, comparatively inexpensive of production, and which will remain in proper position upon the foot and serveto straighten deformed toes, such as those which have become crooked by the wearing of tight pointed shoes.
With this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of afoot, showing a sandal in place. Fig. 2is a detail view of the sandal. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectionalview through the sole of the sandal and toe-post, and Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the toe-post complete in position to be attached to the sandal.
Referring to the drawings, l denotes the t sole of the sandal, the heel portion` of which is sewed or otherwise secured to verticallyextending tabs 2, each of which is Vprovided with a ring 4f, said rings being connected by a strip fi', which is designed to be passed around the rear portion of the ankle of the wearer.` Said rings are also provided with straps 5 and 6, one of which is provided with a buckle and the other with slots to be en.
gaged by the buckle for fastening said straps 5 and 6 around the front part of the ankle.
7 denotes a post, consisting of a piece of leather doubled upon itself, asshown in Fig.
3, and having a rearward extension S and side extensions 9. The side extensions 9 are attached or otherwise secured to the sole, and as shown, are preferably let into an elongated aperture in the upper thickness of the sole and lie between two of the other thicknesses of the sole and are then secured in place by tacking.
9 denotes a strap, which is secured to the extension of the post and has side branches i0 and 1l, the former of which is s-ecured to the inner side of the sole and at a point immediately at the rear of the big-toe joint when the sandal is to be placed upon the foot.
12 denotes a tab secured to the sides of the sole and provided with a buckle l2', which is adapted to be fastened to the branch ll of the strap 9.
When in place upon the foot, the narrow post lies between the toes of the wearer, preferably between the big toe and the toe adjacent thereto, and serves to prevent' the forward and sidewise movement of the foot with respect to the sandal and also serves by reason of its close proximity to the forward end of the sandal to hold it snugly to the foot. This post also serves to straighten into a natural position toes that have become deformed or crooked by wearing narrow-toe The branches lO and ll of the strap 9 lie back of the toe-joints, whereby the toejoints serve to prevent the sandal from slipping forwardly.
The sandals may be made of any suitable material*such as leather, felt, or canvas for toilet purposes and use and rubber for bathing and beach wear.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and ad- ,vantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiring an extended eX- planation.
Various changes in the forni, proportion, and details of construction may be made Within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having thus described my invention, Vwhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pati l. A sandal, the sole of which consists of superposed parts, the upper one of which is provided with an elongated slit, in combination with the toe-post consisting of a piece of material doubled upon itself and formed with laterally-projecting base extensions or Wings which are inserted through said slit and are secured in place, substantially as described.
2. A sandal, the sole of which consists of superposed parts, the upper one of which is provided With an elongated slit, in combination with the toe-post consisting of a piece of material doubled upon itself and formed with laterally-projecting ba se extensions or wings which are inserted through said slit and are secured in place, a Y-shaped strap, one member of which is secured to the extension and the other member to one side of the toe at the f PLINY E. BAssETT.

With the start of the season still fresh, plenty of uncertainty still lingers for many high school girls basketball teams.
Not for Champlain Valley, which returns plenty of talent and firepower from last year's 23-0 team that claimed the program's first title in 26 years.
While CVU's position atop the first installment of the this season's power rankings is unquestioned, positioning the rest of the teams proved challenging. Perhaps a reason to head to the comments below and cast your own thoughts.
This week's rankings:
1. Champlain Valley (2-0): With their undefeated team from a year ago largely intact, including Free Press' "Miss Basketball" Emily Kinneston among those returnees, the Redhawks' position atop the power rankings might have staying power. CVU swept both games in the Spaulding tournament by double-digit margins.
2. Burlington (1-0): Athletic and tall across the board, the Seahorses' source of scoring might be the only smidge of concern for what should be a very successful winter campaign.
3. Rice Memorial (2-0): Four-year starter Hailee Barron has put up at least 20 points in Rice's first two games. That type of production might be needed early as the Green Knights' youth continue to develop.
4. Mount Abraham (1-0): The Eagles enter this season as favorites to repeat in Division II. They have also toughened their schedule, with a home-and-home series against Champlain Valley.
5. Essex (2-0): Kara Sheftic is off to a quick start with a pair of double-doubles, including a 20-point, 17-rebound, nine-steal, five-block performance in the opener. Like Barron and Rice, Sheftic's contributions are vital to Essex's plans this winter.
6. Colchester (1-1): The Lakers, behind Jackie Nagle, went 1-1 in the Spaulding tournament (loss to CVU, win over Spaulding).
7. Rutland (1-1): The Raiders couldn't hang with Burlington after a slow start but secured a close win over the Metro's BFA-St. Albans thanks to Kristin Switzer's 14 points.
8. South Burlington (1-1): The Rebels have a nice nucleus back that should offset the loss of a couple key scorers and leaders. SBHS has a double-digit win over Spaulding and a loss to CVU from the Crimson Tide tournament.
9. Williamstown (3-0): The Blue Devils, Division III finalists a year ago, have scored at least 75 points in all of three of their wins, including a 97-point output.
10. Mount Anthony (1-1): The Patriots used some late heroics Tuesday to give first-year coach Brian Harrington his first varsity win. Can the proud Patriots program build off that?
On bubble: U-32 (2-0), Thetford (2-0)

Customer Reviews
Colloquy + ZNC (for push) is GREAT!
I'm a longtime Colloquy user on Mac, but only recently have tried it on iOS. The thing that TRULY makes this usable though is ZNC integration, which enables me to stay online in my channels and get push notifications. I'm quite pleased with the combination, though for some this might prove a little challenging to set up on their own.
One thing I'm noticing, with some regularity, now that I have more networks and channels set up in ZNC, is that this client easily crashes if there are several buffers to scroll back. It seems to occur more frequently when additional chats open in the process -- such as when ZNC has reconnected and bots reply during login. If crashing wasn't such a problem I could easily go five stars on the rating.
And now I've learned of some competition. Palaver. It's missing some of Colloquy's bells and whistles. But it has two things that caused me to switch for now: (1) it doesn't crash. (2) it's developers are proactive and responsive with new builds.
Thanks for Killing a Perfectly Good App
Don't know what you guys did but haven't been able to connect for at least a month on Colloquy. Before the latest update, it constantly would say it could not connect. Now, the status thingy turns yellow when I try to connect and just sits. It doesn't even try to connect, just sits there. Please fix this or I want my money back. I didn't change even one setting. Stop trying to add new things without working out the already existing bugs.
Colloquy seems to be working fine now after the latest update. Haven't had weird graphical glitches yet either.
I still wish it wouldn't disconnect after 1-3 minutes just for being out of the app, but I know that is an iOS issue.

Opinion: Virgin Mary's role in the pope's and my father's lives
CORPUS CHRISTI - The world is still buzzing about the selection of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the new pope. Pope Francis is the first pope selected from the Americas, the Southern Hemisphere, and whose first language is Spanish. Vatican watchers speculate that the choice would further bind the Hispanic population to the Catholic Church.
With the election of a pope from Latin America, the culture, customs and religious belief systems of Latino Americans are also of interest to the public. One of the frequently mentioned facts is about the Latino population's fervent devotion to the Lady of Guadalupe (La Virgen de Guadalupe). We can assume that this pope will also be devoted to Our Lady because of his Latino roots.
My father, Dr. Hector Garcia, was no exception. Like all Latinos he had a special devotion to La Virgen. On numerous occasions, he sought her intercession and protection. Many times in conversation he would say "Gracias a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe."
Also, Papa used this knowledge about the Latino devotion to La Virgen in his advocacy work. He knew that in most Latino barrios there would always be a church named after the Lady of Guadalupe. "When you want to find "La Gente"* you should look up the address of the local Our Lady of Guadalupe churches," he advised me. "La Gente" was an affectionate term Papa used when referring to Latinos.
When Papa would speak or organize a chapter of the American GI Forum in a town, he contacted the priest at the local La Virgen de Guadalupe Church who would in turn pass the time and location of the meetings to the interested locals. He would also open the telephone book and phone the Hispanics-surnamed residents and invite them to the meeting. He had to carry a lot of loose change for this purpose.
Upon arrival in the targeted small town, he drove to the church and got directions from the parish priest about the location of the meeting. The meetings would be held under the cover of darkness in the outskirts of the town because of the danger involved and the fear of reprisal from the Anglo community.
The parish priest always was supportive of the effort. They were first hand witnesses of the injustice toward and the poverty of the Hispanic people. The priests always attended the meetings and encouraged their parishioners to attend. "La Gente" had been hearing about the dynamic Hector P. Garcia and that he had words of hope and a possible solution. So, the meetings were always crowded.
My father was deeply devoted to La Virgen de Guadalupe and on many occasions, she intervened to save Papa from harm.
According to Willie Davila, on one occasion he, Sonny Saavedra and my father drove to a meeting in South Texas. At this point, Papa was sought after because he was considered an agitator. My father told the two men that they would be stopped by the Rangers and to hide him in the trunk of the car. So, they followed Papa's direction. Shortly afterward, they were stopped by a Texas Ranger. The Ranger never bothered to look in the trunk of the car and let Willie and Sonny drive on.
In those days, it would have been very unlikely that Texas Rangers wouldn't have opened the car trunk of Latinos. "La Virgen" protected all these men so they could accomplish their work.
Through the years, I always had a deep respect for my father and his work and knew on a higher level, that he was doing God's work on this earth. I miss him every day of my life.

Fall sports season about to get really interesting
(Ed. Note: For the complete Greely-Falmouth, NYA-Waynflete and Yarmouth-Cape Elizabeth boys' soccer, Falmouth-Cape Elizabeth and Yarmouth-Cape Elizabeth girls' soccer, Falmouth-Cape Elizabeth, NYA-Yarmouth and Yarmouth-Waynflete field hockey and Greely-Scarborough volleyball game stories, with additional photos, please visit theforecaster.net)
The postseason is just days away (golf states kicks off the fun Saturday) and there's definitely a playoff feel in the air. The time to secure a playoff spot and a strong postseason seed is disappearing as quickly as the leaves on the trees.
Here's a glimpse:
Boys' soccer
The roller-coaster ride that is local boys' soccer continued last week.
At press time, Yarmouth was holding off Greely for the top spot in the Western Class B Heal Points standings after a challenging week which included a home win over York (4-1) and a come-from-behind home tie against Cape Elizabeth (3-3).
Against York, Adam LaBrie had two goals, while Chandler Smith and David Murphy also scored. Against the Capers, Smith forged a first half tie with a goal and after falling behind, 3-1, in the second half, the Clippers roared back again, courtesy goals from LaBrie and Travis Hamre.
"When we went down, 3-1, my only thought was that we had to get back within a goal," Hamre said. "LaBrie had an amazing finish to make it 3-2. Once we were there, we pressed them. It's an amazing feeling to have that tying goal."
"It was certainly a good comeback," Yarmouth coach Mike Hagerty said. "I'm really, really proud of how the kids responded. They showed a lot of heart. They didn't stop working. It's demoralizing being down, 3-1, but they showed a lot of maturity. None of these guys ever stop working."
Yarmouth took a 7-0-3 record into Falmouth Tuesday night (see theforecaster.net for game story). The Clippers host Kennebunk Friday, then gear up for a home battle versus Greely Wednesday of next week, in a game likely to determine homefield advantage.
Greely had a stellar week, increasing its win streak to six after blanking visiting Kennebunk, 1-0, and holding off visiting Falmouth, 2-1. Against the Rams, Matt Crowley had the lone goal. The Rangers then swept the Yachtsmen for the first time this century, thanks to a tying tally from Hunter Graham and the go-ahead score from Crowley late in the first half.
"We knew Falmouth's a good team and probably felt a little embarrassed after (we beat them, 3-0, at their place), so we knew they'd come out hard and we'd have to come out as hard as them," Crowley said. "It feels good being a part of Greely history."
The Rangers (8-1-1) were home with York Tuesday, welcome Cape Elizabeth Saturday and go to Yarmouth Wednesday of next week.
"I wish we were healthier, but hopefully that comes along," Greely coach Mike Andreasen. "This reminds me a little of last year, when we won three in a row at the end of the season. Doing it without three or four of our regulars is good for us We'd rather play on turf, but there's no place like home."
Falmouth began the week 4-3-2 and eighth in Western A after a 1-0 win at Cape Elizabeth (Luke Velas had a highlight reel goal in the waning moments) and a 2-1 loss at Greely. Ben Lydick scored early for the Yachtsmen in that one, but they couldn't hold on.
The Yachtsmen were home with Yarmouth Tuesday, welcome York Thursday and visit Kennebunk Wednesday of next week.
Freeport was 3-5-1 and ninth in Western B (the top 10 teams make the playoffs) after a 6-0 home win over Wells last week. Zach Merrill and Nick Wilson both scored twice. The Falcons were at Waynflete Tuesday, host Traip Friday and welcome Poland Wednesday of next week.
In Western C, North Yarmouth Academy continued to dazzle last week with a 1-0 win at rival Waynflete. Forrest Chicoine scored a goal early in the second half and the Panthers, behind five saves from goalkeeper Austin Kidder, made it hold up.
"We have a bunch of great freshman," said Chicoine. "We've played great as a team."
"We're not worried about last year, we're focused on this year," Kidder said. "It's a new team. We're playing as a team. It wouldn't work with one player being really good."
"There's incredible chemistry with this group," NYA coach Martyn Keen added. "They like each other and work hard for each other. They're great kids. Of all my years coaching, and this is now my 15th year in high school, they're by far the nicest group. They work together so hard."
The Panthers improved to 10-0 and second in the Heals after a 3-2 win at Fryeburg Friday. Jackson Cohan-Smith had two goals, while D.J. Nicholas added one. NYA was home with Poland Tuesday, hosts Lake Region Friday and goes to Sacopee Valley Wednesday of next week.
Girls' soccer
On the girls' side, Greely has quietly played itself to an 8-2 record and the No. 2 spot in the Western B Heals behind Cape Elizabeth. Last week, the Rangers won at Kennebunk, 5-4, and Falmouth, 3-0. In the high-scoring affair, Greely got the winner from Allie Morrill. Izzy Hutnak scored twice, while Jocelyn Mitiguy and Kristina Volta both had one. Hutnak had the winner against the Yachtsmen, as the Rangers avenged an earlier loss. Greely as at York Tuesday, goes to Cape Elizabeth Saturday, as it looks to avenge its other loss, then plays at Yarmouth Wednesday of next week.
Speaking of the Clippers, they settled for a scoreless home tie with York last Wednesday, then suffered an agonizing 2-1 home loss to Cape Elizabeth Saturday night in double overtime. Against the Capers, freshman sensation Katie Clemmer gave Yarmouth a second half lead, but Cape Elizabeth drew even with less than 10 minutes to go, then won it in the second OT.
"I thought it was the best game we've played all year," Yarmouth coach Rich Smith said. "I feel badly for the loss, but I'm excited about how well we're playing and developing. Our captains have done a great job of getting everybody involved, making the freshmen feel welcome and cheering for them. (Abby Belisle-Haley, Julia Primeau and Emma Torres') leadership has spread through the team. They believe they can get better."
The Clippers (4-3-2 and fourth in Western B) were at Falmouth Tuesday (see theforecaster.net for game story), host Kennebunk Friday and welcome Greely Wednesday of next week.
Freeport is up to fifth at 7-3 after extending its win streak to three Wednesday with a 1-0 win at Wells. After hosting defending Class C champion Waynflete Tuesday, the Falcons are at Traip Friday and visit Poland Wednesday of next week.
Three-time defending Class B champion Falmouth, which will be in Class A this year for the playoffs, fell from the unbeaten ranks last week with home setbacks to Cape Elizabeth (2-1) and Greely (3-0). Laura Bauer had the goal against the Capers, but it wasn't enough.
"We lost 2-1 and worked our tails off for 80 minutes," first-year Yachtsmen coach Andrew Pelletier said. "If we played 10 times, we'd split five apiece. (Cape's) probably the best team on our schedule."
Falmouth (7-2 and first in Western A) was home with Yarmouth Tuesday, goes to York Thursday and welcomes Kennebunk Wednesday of next week.
In Western C, NYA rallied to tie visiting rival Waynflete last week, 1-1, and began this week 4-3-2 and seventh in the Heals. Alex Wahlstrom had the goal against the Flyers. The Panthers were at Poland Tuesday, visit Lake Region Friday, go to Old Orchard Beach Monday and visit Sacopee Valley Wednesday of next week.
Field hockey
NYA field hockey team keeps on finding a way to win and as a result was 9-1-1 and first in the Western C Heals at press time. The Panthers settled for a scoreless tie at Traip last Tuesday, then dominated visiting Gray-New Gloucester Friday, 8-0, behind a hat trick from Marina Poole and two goals from Olivia Madore. Monday, NYA went to crosstown rival Yarmouth and managed to sweep the season series from the Clippers by virtue of a 1-0 win. Madore had a first half goal and the Panthers held on for dear life in the second half.
"It was a tough game," Madore said. "They're our rivals for other sports, so having them as a rival in field hockey is nice. It's a good feeling to beat them."
"It was another thriller," said Panthers coach Tracy Quimby. "They really gear up for us. We gear up for them as much as we can. They played hard. They're a great team."
NYA hosted Waynflete Wednesday, goes to Sacopee Valley Friday and closes the regular season at home Tuesday against York.
Yarmouth was coming off shutout wins over visiting Waynflete (4-0) and Sacopee Valley (2-0) and a 3-2 loss at Freeport. Against the Flyers, the Clippers scored four times in the first 10-plus minutes, as Breanna Morrill had two goals. Kallie Hutchinson and Emma Peterson scored against the Hawks. In the loss to the Falcons, Katie Overhaug and Hutchinson scored. Monday's loss to NYA featured several close calls in the second half.
"I think we came out with much more intensity in the second half," Lewis said. "We talked about the last three inches of a play and how in the first half, NYA was ahead of us all the time in the last three inches of a play."
The Clippers (6-3-1 and seventh in Western C) hosted Wells Wednesday, welcome Traip Friday and play host to Freeport in the finale Tuesday.
In Western A, Falmouth continues to impress. Last week, the Yachtsmen won, 2-0, at Fryeburg and 1-0 at home over Cape Elizabeth to improve to 9-2 (third behind Scarborough and Massabesic in the Heals). Against the Raiders, Jillian Rothweiler scored twice. She also had the goal against the Capers.
"It was definitely a battle," said Rothweiler. "Cape's always a good game. We're so well matched. Watching the clock go down into the single digits is the best and the worst feeling. It's nervewracking, but there's nothing better. Time stands still, but it's awesome."
"We knew we were playing for (Heal) Points," said Falmouth coach Robin Haley. "It was a key game for both of us in terms of possibly getting homefield advantage for the playoffs. I think you saw a great game out there."
The Yachtsmen are at Poland Friday, go to Greely Saturday and close at home against Gray-New Gloucester Tuesday.
In Western B, Freeport and Greely could be on a playoff collision course.
The Falcons moved up to seventh in the Heals at 4-7 after Saturday's 3-2 win over Yarmouth. Freeport had previously lost at Kennebunk, 4-1. In the upset of the Clippers, Taylor Schenker scored twice, including the winner, and Olivia Bubar also rattled the cage. Freeport is at Gray-New Gloucester Thursday, hosts Greely Friday and closes at Yarmouth Tuesday.
The Rangers were 3-6-1 and in possession of the ninth and final playoff spot at press time. Last week, Greely lost, 7-0, at York. The Rangers were at Cape Elizabeth Wednesday, go to Freeport Friday, host Falmouth Saturday, then close Fryeburg Tuesday.
Cross country
Falmouth, NYA and Yarmouth joined many other area runners in Belfast for the Festival of Champions Saturday.
The Yachtsmen girls were second to Mt. Desert Island. Madeline Roberts led the way individually, placing 12th in 19 minutes, 30.12 seconds. The Clippers were a strong seventh and were paced by Caitlin Teare (47th, 20:39.41). The Panthers finished 39th, as standout Hannah Austin placed 10th individually (19:27.12).
In the boys' race, won by Lewiston, Falmouth was a strong fifth, as Bryce Murdick placed 10th (16:22.33). Yarmouth finished 47th. Sam Gerken (171st, 18:38.92) was the top finisher. NYA placed 50th. The Panthers featured Matt Malcom (37th, 17:00.3).
Freeport, meanwhile, hosted Fryeburg, Merriconeag, Traip and Wells. The Falcons girls were first with Merriconeag second. Freeport's Elly Bengtsson came in second (20:53). Merriconeag was paced by Samantha Pierce (seventh, 21:46.3). The boys' meet was won by Fryeburg. The Falcons were second and Merriconeag placed third. Freeport's Chandler Vincent was first (16:44.4). Merriconeag was led by Zach Neveu (third, 17:13.1).
This weekend, Greely hosts Falmouth, Gray-New Gloucester and Waynflete, NYA plays host to Freeport, Merriconeag and Yarmouth.
The golf regular season came to a close last week.
Girls' qualifiers include Yarmouth's Monica Austin (who had the top score of 80), Yarmouth's Grace King (a second-best score of 86), Greely's Erin Holmes (89, which was fifth), Greely's Isabella Perry (99, good for eighth), Freeport's Wynne Cushing (105, which tied for 11th) and Greely's Sarah Novick (106, good for 13th).
Monday, the Western Maine Conference and Southern Maine Activities Association held their team and individual qualifiers.
In the WMC, NYA and Yarmouth made the cut. In Class B, the Clippers were fourth with a team score of 361. Cape Elizabeth (325) was first. NYA was tops in Class C with a 352. The Panthers featured Dan Mahoney, who shot an 81, which qualified him for the individual state match.
In the SMAA, Falmouth (which already qualified as the Central Division winner after a 10-0 regular season) had the top score of 324. Greely (which already qualified as the Northern Division winner after a 9-1 regular season) came in fourth with a 339. Falmouth's Russell Barnard (third with a 78), Falmouth's Matt Hutcheon (fifth with an 80), Greely's Bailey Train (who tied for sixth with an 82), Falmouth's Craig Smith and Joe Lesniak (who tied for 12th with an 83) and Greely's Sam Burgoyne and Falmouth's Brad Gilbert (who tied for 18th with an 84) made the cut as individuals.
The golf team state match is Saturday, with the individual championships Oct. 19. Those matches will be contested at Natanis in Vassalboro.
Falmouth's volleyball team improved to 9-0 last week with a 3-1 home victory over South Portland, a 3-0 home win over Lake Region and a palpitating 3-2 home victory over two-time defending Class A champion Greely, in which the Yachtsmen won the first two sets, dropped the third and fourth, then captured the fifth. Falmouth (second to Ellsworth in the Heal Points) had another huge test Tuesday, when it hosted Scarborough. After welcoming Gorham Thursday, the Yachtsmen go to Greely Tuesday of next week.
The Rangers suffered their second loss last week when they fell to Scarborough for a second time this fall, 3-0 (17-25, 23-25, 28-30).
"That's not us," Hasch said. "Not to take anything away from (Scarborough). When they had to play, they played great. We just couldn't execute. We're trying to figure out what we need to do to get it together. We have the talent. I think we can turn it into a positive."
Greely fell to 7-3 Saturday with the 3-2 loss at Falmouth. The Rangers (fourth in Class A) go to Biddeford for a state final rematch Thursday, then host Falmouth Tuesday.
In Class B, Yarmouth sits in the top spot at 7-1 after downing visiting Cony, 3-1 (25-7, 25-14, 24-26, 25-17) last week. Grace Mallett had 11 service points and four aces. Hannah Elrick added seven kills. The Clippers host South Portland Thursday, go to Bucksport and Sumner Saturday, then host Windham Tuesday.
NYA began the week 2-6 and eighth in Class B (just seven teams make the playoffs). Last week, the Panthers enjoyed a 3-0 (25-14, 25-15, 25-10) win at Lake Region. NYA hosted South Portland Tuesday, plays at Sumner and Narraguagus Saturday, then visits Cape Elizabeth Tuesday of next week.

"It's absolutely a distraction. But at same time, if you're doing it right, it is an art form in itself."
Embracing the Future
As we talked, Doughty painted the modern music industry as a complicated and disjointed one, but one where all the pieces ultimately fit together into a symbiotic whole.
"The radio landscape, as with everything in the music industry, works in tandem with the live music industry, with the publishing industry in terms of licensing."
He went on to say that in order to navigate the complicated music landscape, today's music artist needs a modern, forward-looking manager who is web savvy.
"An essential service a manager must now provide is a web person. If you're an artist and you're looking for a manager, if he or she doesn't have an in-house web person, don't even look at them."
Doughty as Digital Entrepreneur
While Doughty talked about the need for traditional promotion, he also understands the need for an artist today to be creative around business models in the age of the Internet.
Earlier this year, Doughty launched what was called the Lo-Fi Lodge. The idea was to create a member-only subscription club where members would get 32 previously unreleased songs for a $20.
How did it go?
"I made a lot more money a lot faster than I would of if I had done a traditional 'dump this on the market' and people are going to pay $9.99 for it."
When I asked if he made more money with his membership club that if he had released those same songs on an album, he said:
"Absolutely. And fast."
Doughty was quick to credit his management, Hornblow, with being very progressive, pointing to other bands on the management firm's roster such as OK Go, which has been very active in viral videos, and They Might Be Giants, who has released children books.
It's Complicated
I came away from my conversation with Doughty a bigger fan than before (he's a nice guy, after all), but also with a better understanding of the complicated nature of navigating the music business for music artists today. Just as with the book business, the creative middle class has to use both the new and the old methods of getting their work in front of people.
And one of those methods, according to Doughty, is a van.

Dom Joly scripts new movie
British comedian Dom Joly has completed the script for his new movie War of the Flea.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the star said he wants the movie to be the "Ben Hur of hidden camera films".
Joly, who featured in the last series of I'm a Celebrity, said the film is about "taking the best bits of flashmobs and doing things with them that isn't a big dance".
"We've got huge crowd scenes in some of our jokes and, rather than paying bored extras, the idea is that people who like our comedy can not only watch it, you can be in it. I think it's quite empowering," he told the website.
The Trigger Happy TV creator described the film as a "big, stupid, fun movie".
"The point of it is that there's no point. There is no narrative arc and we've had to fight for that," he added.
Joly's Welcome to Wherever I Am tour opens on April 15th in London.

TY-GA karate....
just wondering how many of you have heard of these lovely chimps? and what your experiences were and the fact that now they have 'registered as its own martial art' seperate from karate
first saw them at the seni exhibition a few years ago, but now they have one of those 'aggressive' marketing attitudes.
i training traditional karate for 11 years, and even then these guys were a bit of a joke (it takes something to be a bit of a joke when you are in the KUGB) besides it was a beautiful moment in the 10k clash this year when their 'national champion' had one of those 'why are you hitting me?' looks on his face as he got a shoeing:D

Hi All
I just wanted to add some info on Gary Wasniewski's Ty-Ga Karate (If anyone was still interested!) and his Dan gradings.
The last physical GRADING he took was 5th Dan sometime in 1989 if I recall correctly. I was told by Gary Wasniewski (UK only?) that after that ALL grades (6, 7, 8 etc. Dans) are AWARDED on merit/devotion to the Arts and no further grading or physical testing is required. 6th Dan was awarded to him in 1996/7(?) and the last OFFICAL grading he was awarded was 7th Dan.
ALL those grades were/are recognized from various official English Karate Bodies such as EKC EKB MAC etc. (some of the no longer active, but at the time were "The Management") and I was told (by GW again!) the corresponding Japanese groups would recognize them as well.
From about 2003 Ty-Ga's promotional material had him as a "7th/10th Dan" Shihan (some indecision over whether to go all out with his own Grand Mastership?) and now he is of course 10th Dan according to World Head of Family Sokeship Council!
This "organization" will recognize you for a humble fee to be a Soke (Grand Master) in your OWN style as long as you recognize ALL of them (everybody who joins the WHFSC) as Sokes (10th Dan GM) as well, cue lots of back slapping, self congratulating and traveling the Globe to give seminars to each other (another requirement) for a small profit, I notice some of the more modest members only give themselves a 9th Dan (perhaps waiting for Christmas?) while still being a Grand Master in their own style.
It is a Wado based style - (the original Logo included the Dove-Fist symbol) that renamed the Pinan Katas Nidan, Shodan etc. to Ty-Ga Nidan, Ty-Ga Shodan to further distance itself from Wado-Ryu in the Early 90's, all Katas are done at full speed and power.
Any claims of Dan gradings in "other" styles are based upon being recognized by similar striking styles and not a profound knowledge of Kata or other techniques and methods.
Gary Wasniewski was a successful competition Karate fighter in the late 1970's - early '80's in Semi-contact WUKO stuff, known for his kicking ability. Ticky Donovan could attest to that.
The 10K clash competition featured Ty-Ga Karate National Kumite Team Coach Tony Leslie 5th Dan (the Ty-Ga website has him training for 21 years but 1989/90 is when I remember him joining) himself a 5 times Ty-Ga national champion - he was Beaten by Scottish Karate-man Scott Gemmell 8-0.
Someone mentioned TKD, which is apt as Ty-Ga prides itself on Kicking ability, although high kicking is utilized more than jumping/flying kicks. Traditional Karate-Ka will also compare the 2 styles by saying they have no "core" and are sport orientated.
I could ramble on for several more paragraphs, my initial reason for writing was to post some facts on Ty-Ga Karate. I take nothing away from Sensei (how I knew him) Gary Wasniewski's abilities as a Karate-Ka. His kicks are very fast and powerful. He was an inspirational teacher when I trained under him for a number of years (a long time ago) and a decent human being.
As for Dan Gradings, the man I first met in 1986 was seemingly happy to be called "Gary" by all his students. It was sometime in 1988 he made a point of instructing senior students to call him Sensei.

Not sure if thread necromancy really matters a **** here, seeing as Sushiboy's is the first substantial post, and anyway he's followed the SEARCH FUNCTION n00B rule to the letter.
So I'd like to add a 'welcome to Bullshido', and I think I did Ty-Ga with that Gary chap when I was a kid. Must've been about 86/87 I'd guess, it was somewhere in West London, possibly Kensington Leisure centre or thereabouts... does that sound right Sushifella?

To the Editor:
I have heard excuse after excuse from Frontier saying I can't get Internet from them because I'm inches away from their service.
How is this when the Internet comes on phone lines to hook up the modem? We have to put filters on all phone lines except modem line coming off the regular phone line.
It doesn't matter that all of the southeast side of Mayham Rd. has high speed Internet. If you live on the northeast side of Mayham or from mile marker 18 on SR. 39 East, it is in the Bermuda Triangle zone of Carrollton. I don't know about the rest of the neighbors, but my daughter is a starter on the Methodist University of Fayetteville, NC, basketball team and I can't get the game on my computer with dial up and the library is closed after 7 p.m. so I can't see the games.
I've been told all of these excuses about being inches from receiving a signal from the office but lines are run to my home and I get telephone service. My friend had high speed Internet from August to October and since they can't give me high speed Internet, they won't let them have it.
I don't want to wait until 2012 when every other person except the northeast side of Mayham Rd. has high speed Internet. I want to see my daughter's games for the cheap price of Frontier high speed Internet. I can't afford satellite prices. I asked someone on live chat why we are the only road that doesn't have the pleasure of cheap high speed Internet. I asked them if Washington Twp. had anything to do with this problem after they graded our road about five years ago and took the phone lines out. This is when live chat told me to have a nice day and hung up.
When do we have someone fix this so I can watch games online when I can't get there?

This posting is from D&S collective member and frequent blogger Larry Peterson. To see more of his posts, click here.
Many people may be a tad mystified about yesterday's US stockmarket movements. Markets opened with a predictable fall in response to the dreadful labor market data, falling some 3 per cent (with the S&P dropping near the 800 level yet again), but reversed course around midday. By 2 pm they'd crossed into positive territory, and then shot up dramatically within minutes, with the Dow leading the way (up about 3 percent by 2.30). Gains were consolidated after that, and the S&P closed up 3.7 per cent at 876. So, markets moved around 6 per cent yesterday, which would have been a major story only a few months back, but scarcely catches the eye today. Still, the rally was unique because, unlike other, similar late rallies on days dominated by bad news, it wasn't short-sellers forced to buy stocks they'd borrowed to short, but which actually gained in value, or bottom fishers looking for bargains, who provided much of the demand. So what was it?
Today's print version of the Financial Times provides some good and bad answers to these questions. According to the story ("Blue Chips Stage Dramatic Recovery in Late Trading") the two o'clock surge was based on a UBS report that regulatory changes in the insurance industry could be announced at a state insurance regulator meeting this weekend. The changes would relax insurers' capital requirements, and could, according to the note, come as soon as next Tuesday. Insurance stocks rocketed at the news, with Hartford Financial Services gaining 102%–that's three figures, not a typo.
Trading on all indices was light for the day, so gains like this were enough to explain the positive gains for the day. But what moved stocks out of deeply negative territory to begin with? Here the FT is of less help. It says the fact that the S&P didn't break the psychologically significant 800 floor itself provided a reason to buy. It quoted Randy Frederick of Charles Schwab: "There's a lot of things you can use to predict a bottom. One of them is when a market stops reacting to adversely to negative news." That's the best argument against the Efficient Markets Hypothesis–at least applied to stockmarkets–I've ever heard, anyway.
Other factors, such as oil dropping another 6.3% in a single day (and at below $40 a barrel right now, it can't do this much more), have been bandied about as factors encouraging buying (presumably consumers will now start opening wallets rapidly filling up with pink slips and spending money saved on cheaper fuel). But it's hard to believe that even the most jaded traders can see a real bottom here. The outlook for the corporate profits they are tentatively buying rights to is just too horrific right now. This is basically money that has nowhere else to go–except under the mattress, perhaps.

Again, you call Cleveland fans dumb, but you make the dumb comments. And I agree most fans are dumb, but spending your money on this Indians team is smart. Yes, Jacobs let people walk in free agency, but we had Manny, Thome, Belle, Lofton, Baerga, Alomar Jr., Robbie Alomar, Justice, etc. and a payroll of about $50 million more in a time when players were getting paid half of what they are now.
We don't even have one of those type of guys. You can let a couple walk when you have seven all-stars and a payroll in the top-third of the league.
Go on and keep blaming the fans for the reason the indians haven't made a world series since 1997 (15 years ago) and haven't won it all since 1948 (64 years ago). You are right JimmyPiersall, I am dumb and I should realize that me paying $50 and sitting in the upper deck is the reason the Indians don't win it all.
Again, you are missing the point, but that is okay. Continue to trash the fans and city for being smarter than you. It's not about winning for a few months. It's about winning for a few years. You can only be fooled so often before you catch on. The Indians win early and then fade. Other teams improve with trades and free agents - most of which leave Cleveland because the Indians don't resign players - and yes Jacbos was apart of that trend.
You can pay and watch during the first five months. However, wake up - the nation only cares about the final three of the season because thats when champions are made and the Indians haven't been that in my lifetime.
Baseball has to realize that 81 home games is a lot for any city to support - especially when there are no big names to support. Any given day the Indians can win and have, but on paper they are underdogs! Underdogs don't sell tickets or grab ratings. ESPN won't even put the Indians on TV, because there are no stars. Stars sell tickets and win games. Underdogs are good story lines, but are quickly replaced by stars.
And again the media misses the point. They don't look at the real issue. The issue is not Chris Perez saying what he said - Perez is correct in wondering why the fans are not in the seats. The issue though is not the fans either. The issue is the ownership and the lack of commitment shown over the past ten years. The media and Chris Perez are too scared to call out the ownership, but the fans are not and they are showing it by not showing up. All the time we talk about the Browns not getting better and how if the fans didn't show up it would change. Well we are with the Indians!! Perez says we are in first place and no on is coming. Well same was true last year and the team went into the tank and finished around .500. So prove that you can win and MAYBE we will show up. I can't even say I will show up until the end of the season. And why - no I am not a bandwagon fan. I am smart and realize what is really going on.
The Indians never sign top free agents. They never sign their own top free agents. Why would I support a owner who is looking to keep every last dollar instead of improving the team.
Second, do you expect me to believe that the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers and other top teams won't make a move at the deadline to aquire top talent, while the Indians make a move to add a player like Youkalis who is five years past his prime, like Lowe, and like Damon.
This team is nickle and dime, smoke and mirrors. Until we commit to winning, the Indians won't win. We have smart management that will keep us out of signing bad free agents, but at the same time you have to be competitive with money, especially with our own free agents. Cabrera should be signed for seven years or more! Santana should be signed for six years or more! Kipnis should be signed for seven years or more! Get these young guys signed now! And then add in three top free agents and we can then win and fans will then support.
If you sign people, the public relations of the signing will get people excited and buying tickets. Signing Damon and Kotchman do not sell tickets and shows a lack of interest by ownership to win! We have plenty of salary room to add in a couple $15 to $20 million players and still be in the middle of payroll. The fans have proven that you put a winner on the field and commit to winning like Jacobs did in the 90's, we will come! But we are coming to see Manny, Thome, Belle, Lofton, Alomar - not Hannahan, Kotchman, Damon, etc.
Don't try and guilt me into showing up by questioning my loyalty to Cleveland. I have watched baseball and gone to games to watch losing longer than Perez has been alive! Commit to winning for a decade, not a couple months!!!
I am sick of these types of dumb stories. Of course it is not one guys fault a loss happens, just like its not one guys reason a win happens - yet the media loves to talk about how wins are because of LeBron. If you get credit for wins, you have to take blame for losses and when you never win it all - its your fault! Especially when you keep passing blame. When the environment always changes and you are the only thing that remains the same - along with the losing, then the two common factors equal eachother. Logic and results always win arguements, not misleading stats and the story creating media!
Actually that is not true...MONEY TALKS in major league baseball. If it was about big markets, Votto wouldn't have stayed in Cincinnati and Feilder wouldn't have gone to Detroit. If you offer enough money, players will go where ever the money takes them.
Fans are not dumb and not going to support an owner not will to try everything to win. Market size has nothing to do with winning - Cleveland can afford and support a winning team with a $100 million payroll. Yet, our owner spends about $60 million at most (of which, revenue sharing gives him about $40 million). No owner losses money! Never believe that, they can hide money and make the numbers look different.
MLB advertises that attendence is at an all time high - so you should be making money, then the Indians say they are not making money (which is true - except you don't have to count the revenue sharing and the food service into that number). So add in that, and you are making millions!
Two Things on why MLB and the Indians can't draw and refuse to change it:
1. The Indians will say "we have cheap tickets anyone can afford". Yes you do, but I am not going to pay to sit upper deck in outfield when the enitre section behind third base is empty and I can't afford that. Especially when I can sit home and get a better view - so why go to the game more than twice a year.
2. The real reason fans don't come out is "preseason expectations" that only major markets will win because they sign and steal all the good talent. It is a fact that major markets have an advantage - though MLB will spin it that a variety of teams succeed. Its all smoke and mirrors and too long to explain the lies and the misdirection MLB puts on its fans. Basically until the Indians decide to join MLB and pay for some free agents and not nickle and dime to add players - fans won't come until late in the season, if at all.
This is a MLB problem, not just an Indians problem. Indians fans know, even if we are good - the Yankees and Red Sox will make a huge trade and overtake us and we will then fade and lose our best players to free agency. Indians need to make a big trade and then sign top talent. Get that payroll toward $100 million - a sold out JACOBS FIELD will support that salary level. Of course don't spend to spend, but you can't tell me Prince Fielder wouldn't have helped the Indians over our free agent 1B - and we would still have a payroll under $100 million.
Baseball is in a nosedive under Selig and these owners - and until major changes are made (other than just adding more playoffs - i.e. smoke and mirrors) it will get worse. They can keep spinning numbers but attendance is horrible and the game is dying!
I like the idea of the Browns trading down all the way to #15 - but they better get a future first round pick for it, one of the two second rounders the Eagles have, and even A. Samuel. That way they use the #15 on a starting RT, use #22 on a WR, and then have two second round picks to secure a RB and best player available.
THEN THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - use both first round picks next year to secure Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, or a QB worthy of being a franchise QB in next years draft!!! Makes perfect sense - but you have to have vision and know that next year is another draft with more potential QB's that could lead your franchise. Don't panic and try and fill every need this year and salvage the talent that can be had next year and the year after.
No need to write a long comment:
1. Cavs are now tied for the fourth lowest amount of wins - keep losing a we get a top-5 pick in the draft, maybe even top-3.
2. Cavs will most likely be almost $27 million under the salary cap next year
3. You put Irving, another rookie (top-5 player in the draft), and a top free agent, along with Andy and Tristan down low - you have the makings of a solid playoff team!
I feel bad for the old players that are having a tough time due to injuries - but I can't agree with a lawsuit. Especially with more and more coming out about the players betting eachother that they can injury the opposing players, and even the last two seasons when concussions are known - the players lie about being hurt and continue to play.
Or when a player is fined for a cheap hit that could cause problems later in life, they complain that the league is too strict. You can't have it both ways Players! If you want a safer game so that you are okay later in life, than stop with the cheap shots and injury motivated hits.
Plus every NFL Films thing I watch is full of cheap shots and talk about toughing it out - even when the doctors objected, the players would play through injuries to be "tough". Well now that you are not playing anymore - you have to still pay for your "tough" guy actions.
Keith should worry about creating a schedule with some talented teams on it. He just wants to win 20 games, get his bonus by beating up on crappy teams. Every year he is ranked 100th or higher in SOS. Currently stands 109. He has played five teams with 20 wins and seven with under eight wins. Out of conference he is 1-5 against teams with 18 or more wins. For six years now, he has won a ton of games and never gotten an open bid to the tournament. He is only fooling Akron that he can coach - not the NCAA selection committee.
Terry, why would the Browns have to give up a similar deal the Giants did for Eli. I understand Washington and Miami having to since they are farther down the draft, but in the Eli Manning draft, the Giants moved up from #4 to #1, not from #4 to #2. I would understand if the Browns were going up to Indy's pick and going after Luck. And doesn't this news of St. Louis annoucning they will trade the pick show they are desperate to get a deal done before free agency because with Flynn and Peyton Manning available, there will be less teams to drive the price of the #2 pick.
How many Northern Ohio guys does that make in the NHL, and how many Ohio college hockey players in the NHL. Yet, people claim the NHL couldn't survive in Cleveland. Such a lie! Bring NHL to Cleveland. The NHL is most successful in football cities (Detroit, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Philly, Boston, etc.). Its football on ice and Cleveland will support it - and don't use minor league hockey as a test!
THIS IS WHY I HATE BASEBALL and have given up on the Indians! A one-year deal for $3 million, for a young talented player. Why not give him four-years at that price. The Indians continue to sign guys for one year - so if they succeed they leave, if they stink we stink. Its a no-win situation! And even worse, a young stud like Asdrubal Cabrera wants only $5 in a day and age that people are getting $20 million a year and we offer under $4. Stop being cheap and get players to stay and win - and the fans will come back.
Please can we stop talking about Tebow!!! No one cares. The reason so many people comment is because they can't stand the media talking about him - regardless if they are trashing him or praising him. I just read a headline on ESPN about Tebow playing hurt. EVERYONE IN THE PLAYOFFS IS PLAYING HURT!!! Stop trying to make stories out of nothing. It's lazy reporting. It's like entertainment people writing a story about the Kardasian's. If you like him, fine. If you don't, fine. His season is done, so let's move on and let's talk about really sports stories and not a below average QB who has some talent to do different things. ESPECIALLY IN CLEVELAND AND OUR NEWSPAPERS. No one in Cleveland cares about Tebow or the Broncos.
This is why the Indians will always stink. Why would we even let this get to arbitration. Don't let him settle for $4 million (which leads to him being upset and not appreciated and leaving when he can). Lets sign him to a five-year deal at like $6 million a year, which is extremely cheap for a #3 pitcher. That way we keep the young talent on our roster and continue to build. I mean we traded away talent to get this guy and now we are just going to nickle and dime him into leaving. WAKE UP DOLAN. Start securing your young talent and let them concentrate on improving - not what kind of contract they will have to work for.
Nothing will be decided about the draft until free agency is over. If the draft was today, then yes maybe RGIII. But what happens with Matt Flynn, what if Arizona decides Kolb is not their guy (Heckert was part of drafting him). What about Kyle Orton. None of these are long term options - but can they bridge the gap while we put together a team that can compete. Would you rather have RGIII and two rookies at 22 and 30 something. Or would you rather have Kolb, Flynn or Orton, plus Blackmon and then two more rookies. I rather get a lot of rookies and then plug in the rookie when the surrounding pieces are better (just like Baltimore and Flacco, Pittsburgh and Big Ben, Patriots and Brady, Saints and Brees, etc....).
WHY DO ANY OF YOU WATCH OR CARE ABOUT BASEBALL. It is the worst run sport (on the business side of things) and there is no chance the Indians will ever win. The owners make more money losing than they do winning! I don't blame Dolan or anyone - why spend an extra $50 million when the Yankees will still be $100 million over that. MLB needs to wake up and create competitive balanace.
Oh and before you idiots say that MLB has the most number of different champions of all the sports - that is not what competitive balance means! It means that you win and lose base on talent and coaching - no money and stealing free agents! It means everyone has the same opportunity - which the Indians don't because we cannot spend what New York and LA do. Yes, the Angels are now one of those teams because of its new L.A. television deal that starts this year - its not a coincidence.
Just stop watching like I have and life is much more fun!
Another great report by the Plain Dealer. Way to miss one of the biggest story lines of the game and season - why do we keep pitching Perez in non-save situations. He almost always gives up runs in non-save situations. He is lights out when he has a lead, but if we are tied and they bring him in, its just another loss. And I assume everyone knows the season is over. The math will prove it if you look without your fan glasses - or even your hater glasses. WE ARE SEVEN WINS behind Detroit. Meaning we have to win eight games more in the last 38 games than Detroit does - who plays KC, Minnesota, Oakland, and Baltimore a total of 20 times in their last 35 games. Even if Detroit goes 17-18 to finish the season, Indians then have to go 25-10 to win division! Not going to happen considering we are 15-20 in our last 35 games.
For all you morons that voted for paying college athletes. You are telling me you want your tax dollars (yes, tax dollars are given to state schools and federal money goes to all schools), and even worse your kids college tuition that will end up costing them about $200,000 by the time their loans are paid off. You want that money to go to college kids playing football at Ohio State, Kent State and Youngstown State. Because when you vote to pay players - its not just players like Pryor or Sullinger on the main sports at the main schools. Small schools like Akron and Kent actually lose money on athletics! So paying players would just shut down college sports.
You have to pay everyone, so the third string TE at Akron has to get the same as Pryor, what will that solve! And with Title IX - Pryor will get the same amount that a freshman women's tennis player will get!
Lastly, you think paying a kid $300 a month is going to change anything. Cam Newton's dad asked for $100,000 signing fee! You think him getting $300 a month is going to stop people from trying to get $100,000. Chances are these guys are already getting $300 a month somehow!
Please spot this discussion of paying college athletes! It will never happen, and it should never happen. You go to College to earn a degree and prepare for your future. So football and basketball players that want to play professionally - then playing in college is preparing them for their future at no cost to them.
Yes the school makes a lot of money off of these athletes - but that is life! For every Eddie George jersey sold, that helps to pay for men's tennis at Ohio State and probably ten scholarships in the science department!
Stop and think before you vote!
Three things:
1. No it doesn't prove anything but that Eric Wedge needed to go. Every year regardless of the talent, we always struggled in April - even with top talent. Acta has this team ready to play on day one.
2. Trading C.C. and Lee and Victory only proves that the ownership has no commitment to winning and paying for top players to stay or come to Cleveland to help us win. All our top talent leaves and wins championships. If we keep them, we have a chance. The 30,000 empty seats are not empty for any other reason than the fans showing that we cannot be tricked into thinking you care about winning.
3. I might change my view - though it is unlikely - because it will only be changed if the Indians commit to keeping this round of young stars when free agency comes around. More likely, we will trade Carmona, Santana, Grady, etc. when it comes time to lower payroll below the revenue sharing numbers.

Thanks for your interest in Passion for Produce LLC. My name is Michelle Silva. I am the Founder/Owner of the Passion for Produce organic fruits and veggies buying club and suburban aquaponic farm located in Sarasota, Fl. I started the buying club in 2004 and in Fall 2010 started growing greens in the aquaponic system.
I am dedicated to producing and purchasing locally grown (whenever available),
organic and seasonal produce. Much of the produce is "Certified Organic".A conscious effort is always made to buy whatever items (only those grown organically, without any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers) that are LOCALLY grown, either from our own organic farm or from other farmers I know and trust. Most often the seeds are open pollinated, organic and heirloom, avoiding GMO's. I choose to make local organically grown produce a priority, not just for the health of our family and friends, but for the health of the planet as well. Produce that is picked fresh and local, is the healthiest and preferred option, and often can cost less, not having the additional distributor costs. There have been studies that have shown nutrient loss in greens only an hour after harvest! It not only tastes great and is good for us, but it is a much more sustainabile way of living.
Any items that are purchased are in bulk and at wholesale cost. Much of the
discount is passed on to the members, allowing for a greater savings over paying
retail prices. The local produce is generally harvested the morning of pick up day. Many members have told me they enjoy being in the club because it makes fresh organic, local foods more readily available. They've also said it encourages them to try different things, as I do try to get some unusual items as well.
I hope you give the club a try and see if it works for you!
