For more on the Colts, follow Reggie Hayes via Twitter at www.twitter.com/reggiehayes1
Reggie Wayne wants to be on the field in the preseason. He needs to be on the field in the preseason. If the Indianapolis Colts don't put him out there, they're making a mistake.
Wayne missed most of last season after his severe knee injury required surgery and months of rehabilitation. He's done the work, no question. He has looked good back at wide receiver in public training camp sessions at Anderson University, which ended on Wednesday.
Wayne has said all along he'd like to play in the preseason, if only for one game. The Colts play the New York Giants at 7 p.m. Saturday in Lucas Oil Stadium, the New Orleans Saints at home on Aug. 23 and the Bengals in Cincinnati on Aug. 28.
"(We're) just kind of playing it by ear," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said on whether Wayne will play Saturday. "He looks really good out there, running around good. Obviously, we're keeping a close eye on him, watching his reps and things like that. We'll just play it by ear."
Wayne seems itching to get on the field in a real game situation.
"I'm just following orders," Wayne said. "As we always say, we're just here to serve. I'm just here to serve. Whenever they tell me it's time, I'll get ready. I'm going to do the same thing I have been doing, prepare like I am going to (play) and then once he gives me the bad news, I am going to sit it on down."
If Wayne is back to full health, they should put him back in the rotation for the second and third games of the preseason. That will allow him to be comfortable with contact again, as well as work with the offense in game situations.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and the first-team offense are expected to play one quarter against the Giants, possibly less if they generate a couple of early scoring drives.
Typically, NFL teams play their starters into the third quarter in the third preseason game and that's been the Colts' routine in the first two seasons with Pagano in charge. If Wayne is only used in one preseason game, it should probably be the third. But if he can play in one, why not two?
The only benefit to holding Wayne out of preseason games would be if he needs more time to become fully healthy. That doesn't appear to be the case. He has run through every drill, taking days off only as determine by Pagano for veterans. During camp, Pagano believes in a two-on, one-off style of practicing for the veteran players to keep them fresh. Wayne has looked fresh.
The downside to holding Wayne out of the preseason entirely would be the fact he'd have to take his first hit in a regular-season game.
Now, that first hit will matter. Regardless of how confident a player is, nor how many years he has played, there remains uncertainty in testing the surgically repaired body.
The knee is so essential to Wayne's play, as he makes his living out of running crisp routes with sharp cuts and moves to find openings. He's not a speed demon. He's receiver-as-artist, painting the field canvas with precise strokes.
Wayne said he would prefer to have his first hit in the preseason.
"That's the mindset, but at the same time if the big dog tells me to sit it down, I am going to sit it down," Wayne said. "Like I said, I am just here to serve. I am just a servant. I'm Semmi in 'Coming to America.' I'm just here to do my job and when it's time and the time comes, I am going to be ready, ready to perform the way I have been performing."
Set aside the fact Wayne shows his age with his reference to a 1988 Eddie Murphy movie. He has been in the league long enough to know his own body.
Play Wayne. Let him work out the initial apprehension, presuming he has to have some, in the preseason. Then he'll be relaxed and ready to be his usual reliable self when it counts.

Native American Artist Addresses Stereotypes through Live Painting
A performance artist visited campus this week to engage students, faculty and community members in discussions on cultural issues facing Native Americans - and he used their feedback to create a new painting during the event.
Bunky Echo-Hawk, a graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts, asked the Willamette audience to share stories of their cultural concerns and experiences with stereotypes. As they talked, he transformed a blank canvas into a portrayal of the historical tensions between Indian people and white America, symbolized by a figure of General Custer "riding" an Indian.
In Custer's hand, a sign reads "Free Ride?" The words, chosen by the audience, reflect an idea that the U.S. has been built upon the backs of Indian people, while also referencing a public perception that Native Americans receive undeserved government handouts.
Echo-Hawk has created nearly 300 paintings live in front of audiences. He sees his work as a way to empower youths and correct stereotypes about Native Americans.
"It can set sparks off in people's minds, in people's hearts, and inspire them to want to look at these issues and do something about it," he says.
His painting will become part of the collection at Willamette's Hallie Ford Museum of Art.
Echo-Hawk's performance celebrated Founder's Day at Willamette and was part of the university's Indian Country Conversation Series, which brings Native American guests to campus for teaching and dialogue. Echo-Hawk also performed the next day at Chemawa Indian School in Salem, where he created a painting in dialogue with the entire student body.

Papua. A local legislative council member was killed as voters went to the polls in Papua's gubernatorial election on Tuesday, after the lawmaker reportedly tried to persuade a crowd to vote for his party's candidates.
Husia Yosia Karoba, a member of the Tolikara District Legislative Council (DPRD), was reportedly killed after urging hundreds of supporters of the Democratic Party's candidates to vote for Habel Melkias Suwae and Yop Kogoya from the Golkar Party.
"People were angry because the victim tried to influence them to vote for candidates No. 6 [Melkias-Yop], while the area was a base for supporters of the Lukas Enembe [and] Klemen Tinal pair," said Laban Weah, an eyewitness to the incident, referring to the Democratic ticket.
"People then attacked the victim until he died at the scene," he added.
Papua Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Paulus Waterpauw confirmed the incident, saying Husia was declared dead on arrival at a nearby hospital.
"I heard that the crowd couldn't accept his statement, that he supported No. 6 [ballot number] candidates because he was from the Golkar Party, so they immediately attacked him," Paulus said.
Six tickets are competing in Papua's gubernatorial election, where voters will choose the new leaders of Indonesia's easternmost province for the 2013-18 period.

An Awkward Weekend
October 05, 2006
John H. McWhorter
Some friends of mine put together a musical version of "The Princess Bride" in 1994. I wrote many of the songs and played piano.
A little while ago, we did a reunion concert version of the show. It was a nice weekend of reminiscing and catching up. However, I kept noticing one guy doing tech, whom I didn't know, staring at me with a kind of wary wonder.
Near the end I found out why. Someone asked me if I had read Calvin Trillin's latest book, and I said that I hadn't — upon which this fellow injected, "He works for a conservative think tank — he doesn't read Calvin Trillin."
No smile, tart verging on hostile. It was a slightly awkward juncture, but I let it pass.We were having too good a time for me to dwell on it.
Interesting, though. This was a Blue America Berkeley crowd.This guy is likely exquisitely wary of stereotyping women and minorities, and yet he took my political leanings as license to label me as deaf to Mr. Trillin's erudition and wit on the basis of a partisan antipathy to the work of anyone liberal. To him, I was an ideologue, foreign to reflection.
Forget that I had spent the weekend sitting at the piano, coaching people on songs I wrote, talking to everyone about this and that. What was important about me was my being identified as — gasp — a conservative.
Anyone who does what I do is used to running up against this type of guy now and then. I mention it not as a personal cri de coeur, but because of a larger tragedy: how ordinary such perceptions are among his demographic, and the failure of our higher education system to correct them. Instead of countering the unthinking polarization increasingly typical in our discourse, a college education too often leaves unchecked a confusion between dogma and enlightenment.
It's one thing to understand that power is unequally distributed, or that lower social class does not mean lower intelligence or worth. A century ago, President Taft's wife qualified as progressive in supporting the suffrage — but only for women (and men!) of a certain class. Her predecessor as first lady, Edith Roosevelt, had given a lesser grade of meals to "lower" servants than to "higher" ones. (I happen to have just read a biography of Nellie Taft,which I suppose has left me behind on my Trillin.)
Happily such assumptions of that era are six feet under. However, the current idea that the politics of Harper's are the only way to be intelligent or moral is as blinkered as Social Darwinism.
No one could read Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Thomas Sowell, or Norman Podhoretz and see them as unintelligent ideologues, for example. Yet so powerful in Blue America is the equation of liberalism with legitimacy that many would consider devoting a book's worth of attention to such thinkers as incompatible with being educated.
The word education, however, comes from the Latin "to lead out of" — such as out of superficially attractive mistakes like thinking the sun revolves around the earth. Many seem to think that education means to be led out of the temptations of conservatism into the correctness of liberalism.
This is false. To be educated is to understand that issues can be argued coherently from many angles.
As such, true education is logically incompatible with finger-down-the-throat revulsion at the notion of "conservatives." One can feel said revulsion toward particular conservatives (or liberals), or subgroups thereof — but not toward conservatism as a whole.
One tic among those who do not get this is especially indicative: despising conservatives for "oversimplifying" by not including every single relevant fact in short opeds. Yet these folks understand the limitations of space when the writer is a liberal.The assumption is that the liberal, having a lock on smarts and empathy, can be trusted.
Take Bob Herbert's column Monday in the New YorkTimes on "environmental racism" in Dickson County, Tenn. What happened to the people there is awful and demands attention. But as to biases responsible for it, Mr. Herbert said nothing about a carefully reasoned book by an advocate for the poor that conclusively dismantles the idea that racism determines where toxic waste is dumped in America. I must note that its author, Christopher Foreman, is not a pink, bow-tie-wearing "operative"but a black university professor who used to work for the Brookings Institution.
Yet the number of liberal readers who will send Mr. Herbert livid letters for not mentioning "The Promise and Peril of Environmental Justice" may very well be zero. But let the conservative not dot every i and cross every t in an 800-word piece and he is a fraud.
Ideally, cringing at the notion of conservatism (or liberalism) would be the mark of not having had the opportunity to go to college. Instead, in our America this attitude toward conservatism is too often considered one of the very keystones of being educated.
"Why can't Johnny read?" we were once taught to ask. But today, if Johnny learns how to read, in college he is taught that there is only one way to think.

Opiates are powerful analgesics, but their clinical use is hindered by side effects, tolerance, and concerns about dependence and addiction. A resolution to this problem may be provided by the paradoxical effects of ultra-low-dose opioid antagonists. Recently we found that this phenomenon extends to the cannabinoid system.
For more information on specific projects related to this topic:
In standard doses, opioid antagonists such as naloxone or naltrexone block the effects of morphine and other opiates. Khem Jhamandas, in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, has demonstrated that ultra-low doses of opiate antagonists enhance the analgesic properties of morphine, and reduce the development of analgesic tolerance to these drugs. We demonstrated that these effects were not confined to analgesia: ultra low dose naltrexone also extended the duration of morphine's rewarding effect in the conditioned place preference paradigm. While this initial work on reward used sub-analgesic doses of morphine, subsequent work, conducted in collaboration with Pain Therapeutics Inc. demonstrated that ultra-low-dose naltrexone blocks the acute rewarding effects of analgesic doses of both morphine and oxycodone, as well as the motivationally aversive effects of withdrawal from their chronic administration. In addition, the analgesic effects of ultra-low dose antagonists are not a motor artifact in that the same doses do not alter the cataleptic effects of morphine. Although the mechanisms underlying the paradoxical effects of ultra-low-dose anatatonists are not fully understood, molecular pharmacology work showed that ultra-low-dose opioid antagonist co-treatment attenuates a switch in G protein coupling that occurs following chronic administration of the opiate alone. Taken together, these studies have important implications for long-term pain management. Indeed, these paradoxical effects could help those with chronic pain who require prolonged opiate therapy.

Building on our work with ultra-low dose opioid antagonists, Jay Paquette examined ways to improve the analgesic effects of cannabinoid drugs, which are approved for pain treatment in Canada. These drugs act at the CB1 receptor and exert effects similar to opioid drugs. This drug interaction may be explained by the fact that µ opioid and CB1 receptors are co-localized on spinal and supra-spinal neurons and have similar neural signal-transduction mechanisms. The work of our colleagues Khem Jhamandas and Catherine Cahill, among others, has shown that opioids have biphasic effects: ultra-low doses (i.e., pM to nM range) of opioid agonists stimulate, rather than inhibit, cellular activity, and this effect can be blocked by ultra-low doses of an opioid antagonist. Ultra-low doses of opioid antagonists also enhance the analgesic effect of opioid agonists, extend the duration of opioid-induced analgesia, prevent the development of tolerance, and reverse established tolerance. Because of the interaction between cannabinoid and opioid systems, Jay Paquette investigated whether the interaction is also expressed at the ultra-low dose level. Using rats and the tail-flick test of antinociception, we showed that ultra-low doses of an opioid antagonist dose dependently enhance cannabinoid-induced antinociception. In a second set of experiments, ultra-low doses of a CB1 receptor antagonist paradoxically enhanced the duration of cannabinoid-induced antinociception. In collaboration with colleagues in New York, we uncovered a molecular mechanism of these ultra-low dose cannabinoid effects, which involves a shift from an inhibitory to a stimulatory G-protein coupled mechanism. These findings suggest that the paradoxical effects of opiate antagonists (see previous project description) may extend to other pharmacological systems.

Re: Should I be upset??
No... you should not be upset, but I can easily see why you might be. As a drummer, it can be very convenient to have the band come to your house. Your drums are set up, they bring their guitars, plug in, and hit the switch to turn on. Its not as easy to move your set from here to there and back to here- just to do it again next week.
It seems they havent considered how much is involved when you practice at 2 different places but still want to keep a 2-day a week schedule... You cant be upset at that.
The bassist needs to give a little, as far as commitment.... but so should you. If you want to keep it rolling, you gotta work through these inconveniences..... I wouldnt go doing anything like blowing em off and taking it as personal as you may have. If it works out- be thankful that it does... but this is definitely no reason to be negative towards the band....

Safe as Milk and Mirror Man are better listens well-recorded (the former was produced by, of all people, Richard Perry, who went on to work with Ringo Starr and the Pointer Sisters) and filled with consistently decent songs and a generous supply of bonus tracks. But both date from 1967, when Van Vliet was only beginning to develop the wild blend of blues, free jazz and freakiness that would set him apart from pretty much everyone else on the planet. The primary selections on Milk are predominantly concise and to the point (many are reminiscent of the quirkier items on Lenny Kaye's '60s garage tribute, Nuggets), and the occasional eccentricity, like the mincing middle section of the aptly monikered "Dropout Boogie," are more interesting as harbingers of the future than they are in and of themselves. Mirror Man, meanwhile, is a rambling excursion that was originally conceived as a live-in-the-studio companion to Milk. The results aren't bad, but neither are they revelatory. Anyone who thinks he or she has a handle on Beefheart after listening to these albums is badly misinformed.
The Dust Blows Forward casts a wider net, kicking off with "Diddy Wah Diddy," the 1966 cover that actually got Van Vliet on pop-radio stations in Southern California, and concluding with "Lights Reflected Off the Oceands of the Moon," an instrumental B-side from the Ice Cream for Crow era. It also benefits from sleek liner notes by Barry Alfonso that brim with easy-to-access Beefheart trivia. (Examples: Van Vliet's first producer was David Gates, who went on to warble in the half-baked group Bread, and slide master Ry Cooder was once a part of his Magic Band.) But great stuff from Trout Mask ("Ella Guru," "Old Fart at Play"), Decals (the title song, "I Wanna Find a Woman That'll Hold My Big Toe Till I Have to Go") and Doc ("Ashtray Heart," "Making Love to a Vampire with a Monkey on My Knee") often appears alongside watered-down material Beefheart hoped would make him marketable, and the juxtapositions can be uncomfortable. Some of his concessions don't feel like total sellouts: "Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man" (originally heard on 1972's Clear Spot, which was produced by Ted Templeman, of Van Halen and Doobie Brothers fame) is a terrific number, and "Bat Chain Puller," off 1978's Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), doesn't pull as many punches as it seems at first blush. But "Upon the My-O-My," a 1974 single, is enough to make a Beefheart-lover's teeth ache, and "Hard Workin' Man," from the soundtrack of the 1978 movie Blue Collar, is only marginally better. Including such songs may be defensible from a historical standpoint, but that doesn't make them any more entertaining or enlightening to hear.
Van Vliet is obviously an artist who is best taken on his own terms, meaning that interested parties should try getting to know him by picking up albums put together by him rather than by someone else. Anything else is good mainly to give critics something to gush about so feel free to ignore their superlatives. As if you hadn't already.

is the nisky qb as good as he looks in the highlight reels vs. troy? is the nisky passing game as good as it looked against troy? they look they have a great passing scheme and the right players at key possitions to pull it off. the nisky qb looks like a college qb to me. what is his size? i know saratoga lost out on an opportunity in not once going deep to their tall athletic #2 wr deep down the sideline in 1 on 1 coverage vs. a shorter troy db. at the very least, it would have opened up the middle more if they did and at the best, they could have kept scoring instead of becoming stagnant. was baffled as to why they never attempted it as the troy safety's kept cheating toward the line and middle of the field.
troy did same thing to nisky as they did against saratoga in looking like they were tackled behind the line and reversing fields and going for long gains and/or a td. defenders have to learn when that happens to use the angles when chasing them down rather than running right at the runner as the troy kids are way too quick for that.
no doubt troy continues to show it is still the best team but has now in back to back weeks shown they can be scored on and can give up yardage so their invincibility has taken a hit. they have shown they can be beat if a team comes to play for 4 qtrs. and the coaches come with a solid game plan to score some pts.
From troy! yes! k.bayley look real good, college bound and maybe!…pro. he is 6-3 @ 185??? but…..if you were at that game…nisk. got a call {complete pass} that was incomplete!!! you know the one!!! you guys got the T.D OUT OF IT….the one where the W.R. DOVE IN A FETUS POSITION
from troy!!I'M not done, why did this POST BEFORE I WAS NOT DONE?? anyway…… that.. "INCOMPLETE PASS" I KNOW SOMEONE HAS THE VIDEO CLIP! COME ON NOW….THE BALL WAS TRAPPED! WELL DONE TROY! ALL OF YOU! YOU WERE OVERSIZED IN THE PASSING GAME, AND DID YOUR BEST! WHAT A GAME.. WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE….NOT JUST DAYS…. BUT YEARS!!! SEE YOU ALL AT HOME AGAINST SHAKER! Lord willing! #41!!! get ready!!
The nisky qb is very good and has great accuracy. The only problem was troy had no pass rush. They were only rushing 3 guys for a good part of the night and allowed nisky's qb all the time in the world, when any good qb has all the time to throw he is going to pick apart a defense. If you watch the play where troy had the INT they finally got some pressure on the QB and caused him to hurry his throw. But saying that great game, Nisky gave troy a great game and the QB had some great throws. In the end though Troy made the necessary plays to win.
wasn't lewis out for this game? troy would've scored 3 more times if he played. print it!!
Have to say… Nisky's QB looked very good! He threw some very nice bullets and certainly got my attention. I've seen Ryan Smith and have read a lot about him – but Bayly really does deserve some props as well. He's got lots of talent and ability and has good height and size to boot.
Niskayuna brought it all 4 quarters. They played like they wanted it just a little more. Didn't hurt that it was home coming and they also had huge fan support behind them.
Several of Troy's players did not play up to par like they have in previous games. With Lewis out and others filling in on both sides combined with the fact that Troy's 1st string usually doesn't have to go all-out the whole game, negatively impacted Troy for sure. Good news for the Flying Horses is that they have the talent pool to step things up at crunch time. With a weapon like Canzeri and outstanding back-up from Yaskanich, Colon, Ryan, Grinage, Thomas and Felder – lucky for them they did and always seem to be able to get the job done in the end.
IMHO: Troy needs to pass more on 1st down and might want to also think about some shorter passes. Rushing up the middle so frequently may not always be the best option either… But staying with the tried and true is also essential. No doubt, Troy will re-group and do some serious work this week. With Lewis returning next Saturday against Shaker and Troy having home field advantage I see Troy easily wrapping-up an undefeated regular season.
Bottome line, Nisky out coached Troy big time, but Troys top talent managed to get the win. A lot of calls went in Niskys favor but they did play the best game of the season.
We knew Canzeri would get the ball, Troy ran him up the gut all night but he still managed to get the job done. We kept the ball away from his side of the field with great results. Yes, our QB is way under rated before last night. Great game on both sides and good sportsmanship.
Troy better watch out Shaker is coming to take down their pretty little season at their homecoming and senior day…….you think this Bailey kid is good wait until they face one of the real top quarterbacks in Ben Capeless, this kid hasn't thrown the ball more than 10 times in a game and his stats are amazing. You can talk about Canzeri and Lewis all you want, but I'd still take Conor Alund over both of them, Troy could barely handle Nisky, so good luck against Shaker who played their worst game of the season against them and still beat them with NO OVERTIME. WHO DAT Shaker 6-0 history about to be 7-0 and section champions.TRY TO STOP THE HERD OF BISON, YOU CAN'T!!!!!!!
Second 2, trust me, Troy is better. Troy will hold Alund to under 50 yards, mark my words. Troy 34 Shaker 6
It's amazing that all 10 commenets posted on here are all from the same person and we know who you are.
The Shaker vs. Troy game should be a great game. But with the work coach Sheeler and coach Cuture have done with the team this year I think Shaker will beat Troy. Capless and Alund are Division 1 football prospects. And with a defense which is led by Lawton they should keep Canzeri under control. It is great after all these years to see Shaker play an importatnt game in October.
hey sec2ftballfan are u forgetting that lewis will be back and will be 100% cant no one on shakertake him down one on one
Orrrrr everyone could shut up and stop wasting time blogging on the internet and actually wait till the game to see what happens instead of talking about it a week in advance ….
Great game as always Nisky, and for all of you talking about how Nisky only won due to Lewis' absence, foul play. It is as if people forget that Nisky is only 17 points away from undefeated. and to section 2- its really easy to go undefeated when your schedule over six weeks consists of teams with a cumulative 10 wins. And dont even act like Nisky was your worst game, its just called competition, so don't get cocky.
Excuse me, I meant to say, "to those of you saying Nisky only did as well due to Lewis' absence".
Warrior fan, I am pretty sure shaker plays the same teams niskayuna and troy does for the games that matter (the 6 division games) and Nisky couldn't get by those teams like Shaker and Troy did, so don't be talking about schedules there is only one different game.
r u all forgetting lewis isnt just 1 of the best backs in section 2 but one of the best defenders on this fast flying hard hitting D so juss think hes back on both sides of the feild alls i can say is have fun gentle men its gonna b a trench fight nd the stronger lines gonna win the game shakers qb will not have the passing time nisky qb had with the strong dline of troy gnna b a good game troy 42 shaker 14
Hats off to Nisky, you played a fantastic game and Kyle Bayley is a very good quarterback. Troy allowed him too much time to throw the ball and the pass defense failed to cover the guy in the middle until the last play. Yes Nisky got some calls their way and yes we were missing Shatiek but that can happen and does week in and week out to all teams and it only matters in the end who had more points at the end of the game. Everybody should look at what Guilderland just did….WOW !! "t ain't over till its over". Great job Troy on keeping your heads up and not giving up. It takes ALL 4 quarters to win a game !
Look forward to the Shaker game this week, should be a good one! Troy play your hearts out your fans will be there for you !
I stood on the sidelines of the Troy Nisky game all night and first off….anyone who says nisky "outsized" troy is out of their mind. Nisky has 3 or 4 kids over 200 lbs….troy has 5 over 200 on their starting O-line!!! Lewis being gone did hurt a little but its amazing reading all these Troy fans who have been saying that "Troy has 3 or 4 backs better than" other backs in Section 2. Well….where were they?? Stop making excuses…Nisky gameplanned better and exploited Troys weakness….bad against the pass. Fortunately for Troy their overall talent won out in the end. I think they actually have any easier time with Shaker because Shaker will try and run the ball….and Troy is too good up front for that. Decent game…but Troy will win.
Just for the record…there are no senior QB's in Section 2 that will play D-1 football. Smith, Bayly and some others are very good…but D-1 QB is a whole different level. Watch these kids from Texas and Florida that are 6'5 235 run 4.6 40's and have cannons for arms….thats who going D-1…..BIG difference. People in Section 2 need to realize most of the best football players in our area wont make it that far. However there is nothing wrong with I-AA, D-II or D-3…you get an education and play football.
Todd, My Man …now you know and we know you were on the Nisky sideline all night and you also know how they(Nisky coaches) wait to see what defense you are in and they call a play accordingly…. so the statement about Nisky Out gameplanning Troy is over the top. How did Nisky do with that Kickoff? They did not out game plan Troy on that one and if you look at the whole game, sure they threw well and for over 300 yards(penalties???)sloppy track…slowing down the speed of both teams. However,they could not stop Troy in any phase of the game O,D or specials and when it was all said and DONE Troy WON.Hope to see ya on Troy's side again sometime….
Great Day- the no huddle offense is something Niskayuna has used for years and that is part of "gameplanning". Troy returned one kickoff for a touchdown, and then Niskayuna changed it's "gameplanning" on kickoff. How could you possibly say that "they could not stop Troy in any phase of the game O, D or special teams"?? How did Niskayuna have over 400 total yards then? Be reasonable in what you say at least.
First off. the egos of the collar city would never admit that burger and canfield were out coached. Canzeri and Lewis with out a doubt are the best backs in section 2 along with richardson.If you were at the game how many penalties did nisky have? the most all year. They shot them selves in the foot. If they score at the beginning of the first half nisky wins the game out right. I guess you could compare these backs to a todd ward and chris breen combo (if any one remembers these guys)the only difference Bob Reo could throw the football. He had larry senior to catch. Troy goes as far as their running game. I saw baldwinsville out in syracuse play last week. Troy wouldnt match because there a RUN team. Troy gets beat in second round of sectionals.Did any one notice that troys offense is more explosive then their defense???
I can guarantee that the Troy coaches were not impressed with the Horses defense, and I'm sure they've communicated that to the players.
#23 yad taerg
all it takes is one kickoff…and do not confuse game planning with practice planning…a high school football is fluid and changes every snap so when a team runs a check with the coach from the los, that is very little game planning …that's just your playbook.Nisky had over 300 yards because as was said and if you can read or was at the game,the field was wet and sloppy which causes problems for a pass rush/blitzing team,then you have to cover and when they know where they are going and you are reacting on a sloppy track/field it works to benefit them. Lets see what happens on a dry field also they did not change the gameplan on specials they just did not kick it deep to #34.
That is reasonable trust me
yad taerg
First of all it was over 400…Have to love the excuse of the wet sloppy field..pretty good field conditions when Bayly threw for 420 last weekend…accept the fact that someone played well against Troy. Not kicking to a certain deep guy would constitute a change of gameplan on the kick. Your well thought out and not to mention well written responses are appreciated…. Try to be open minded.
BSpa substituted after the 1st half so Nisky put up the comeback versus BSpa's 2's. P.S. gameplan NO …adjustment we will give you.
Excuse, I think not , and with an open mind I believe, Reason…Justification,those are the words.The was a reason that the rush could not get to the QB and there is a reason a reciever with knowledge of the route has a distinct advantage on a wet field over a LB or DB who has to react to the recievers route while also keeping leverage on the ball. Now those Sir are Reasons and Justification… not excuses.
BSpa did not just put in a second team in the second half..pretty sure that has been cleared up elsewhere on the blog..still not buying the wet field excuse..really the problem i had with what you posted was "however they could not stop troy in any phase of the game O, D or specials"..just explain that statement.
great day you are a million percent WRONG, the starters were in for B Spa well into the 4th qtr., I have been at every game the last 4 years sans the first half of this years Shen game. I know every starter and back up…the starters played into the 4th qtr., cook and warmt got dinged up and came out, that is it
Wow, is this site for little old ladies nagging each other or do you really want to talk honest football. The fact of the matter is that this year in AA there is parity that has not been seen in awhile. There has been years with one or two good teams and everyone else was average or below. This year there is parity at a very high level. Of the Eight teams in the playoffs seven of them could win the superbowl. Troy is definetly the favorite but as Toga and Nisky showed they are not unbeatable. Heck, Guilderland could have been a contender but they did not even make the playoffs. These next 3 weeks should see some awesome football games, hopefully every team stays healthy and the two teams that make it to the superbowl are the teams playing best at this time. But win or lose lets stop with all the excuses, remember, these are kids and sometimes for whatever reason they do not show up with the right mental state to perform at their best, other nights every thing clicks and a team that looked ok last week can look very good this week, personally, I'm hoping Toga is the only team with the right mental state for the next 3 weeks, HA Ha, good luck to all teams and thanks for an excellent regular season.
Nisky may be the dark horse but just wait and see who comes out shining.
A million percent wow now that's a lot of percent …off by one quarter is not a million percent.
however they could not stop troy in any phase of the game O, D or specials"..just explain that statement.
Here let me explain Special teams :1 KO return TD,all extra points made,etc.
Defense,stopped Nisky when they had to OT after Nisky knew what was necessary a TD and extra point to tie Troy intercepted a Bayly pass.
Offense , scored 35 points one TD in the OT period that's one more than Nisky scored.
Final results …they could not STOP Troy in any phase of the game O, D or specials.
It's real simple stuff fellows…you want complicated
An increase of 100% in a quantity means that the final amount is 200% of the initial amount (100% of initial + 100% of increase = 200% of initial); in other words, the quantity has doubled.
An increase of 800% means the final amount is 9 times the original (100% + 800% = 900% = 9 times as large).
one additional quarter would then be what percentage ?????
Come all you blogging genious,and English Lit Majors,Boy I sure do hope my spell check is working.
the point great day is that you made a claim that the starters came out for B Spa when in FACT they were in for every touchdown that Nisky scored in the 2nd half…..that is the point
now with that said, I still think B SPA was in a tricky situation as I mentioned, the game meant nothing other than momentum into this week as we were all there and aware as to what was happening down in Clifton Park….MY point by leaving the starters in during the 2nd half was that it left a bad taste in the players mouths
One kick return for a touchdown, one more score in ot and one stop in ot doesn't mean that niskayuna could not stop Troy in any phase of the game…I'm done with this nonsense..but all that math was so cool..wow!
nonsense is defined as a verbal communication or written text that is spoken or written in a human language or other symbolic system but lacks any coherent meaning.
These are opinions and written discussions, now folks if you can not keep your feelings and emotions in check well,there are other forums available.

DURHAM, N.H. – University of New Hampshire senior linebacker Matt Evans (Hanover, Mass.) has been named to the College Sporting News 2012 Fabulous Fifty FCS All-America Team. Evans was one of six linebackers feted among the top 50 players in FCS football.
Evans, who played in the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 19, led the CAA with 126 total tackles, which ranked 19th in the country, and he tacked on a nation-best 87 solo tackles in his final season as a Wildcat. The UNH co-captain, who became the University's all-time tackle leader Nov. 3 in a home win against William & Mary, capped his illustrious career with 460 stops and 266 solo tackles; both totals ranked first among all FCS players that were active in 2012.
The Hanover, Mass., native was previously recognized as a Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America for the third time, becoming just the fourth player –and third from UNH (Ricky Santos, David Ball)- to garner that honor three times. The 6-foot, 228-pounder also garnered A.P. All-America, AFCA Coaches' All-America, The Sports Network All-America, Beyond Sports Network All-America Second Team, All-CAA First Team and All-New England Team. College Sports Madness recognized the middle linebacker as its CAA Defensive Player of the Year and as an All-America Second-Team performer. Evans, the 2011 Buck Buchanan Award winner as the national defensive player of the year, closed out the season with six straight double-digit tackle games (seven overall) and led the Wildcats in tackles nine times in 12 games.
No. 13/13 UNH qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship for the ninth straight season –the longest active FCS streak- before losing its second-round game, 23-7, at No. 9 Wofford on Dec. 1. The Wildcats, co-champions of the CAA, concluded their season with an 8-4 record.

BC Friday handle off 5 percent
A crowd of 34,619 was on hand at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, on Friday for the first day of the 29th Breeders' Cup World Championships. The attendance figure was a slight decline over the 2009 Friday attendance at Santa Anita of 37,651, but up from the 2008 figure of 31,257.
"We're off to an encouraging start with great performances on the track, including Royal Delta's brilliant repeat in the Ladies' Classic, and strong business results. We're looking forward to picking up where we left off on Saturday," Breeders' Cup President and CEO Craig Fravel said.
Total common-pool handle for Friday's 10-race card was $47,586,765 vs. $50,053,505 bet last year on Championship Friday at Churchill Downs (a 5 percent decline) and $48,439,438 bet on the 2009 Friday card at Santa Anita.
On-track handle at Santa Anita on Friday was $7,298,174 vs. $7,097,789 here in 2009 (a 2.82 percent increase).
"Considering the effects of Hurricane Sandy and difficult circumstances for much of the East Coast, to be within 5 percent of last year's total handle is a success," Breeders' Cup Senior Wagering Consultant Ken Kirchner said.
Friday's betting action was highlighted by a $773,865 single winning ticket in the Pick 6. There were 52 consolation five-of-six tickets that paid $6,378.
There will be a $2 million guaranteed Ultra Pick 6 pool on Saturday.

Hello allI`m a newbie to this forum and to Emerald cedars.Planted 10 cedars on the May 24 weekend. I did all my research from plantingdepth to spacing, and hole size, to watering etc...They were amazing. Key word here is were, just last weekend I noticed thatthe inside of all 10 cedars are turing brown and dropping the needles (leafs)to the point where they are very sparce.What is happening to them, and is there any thing that I can do to save themor is this just the nautral process of the cedars preparing for winter.Any advise would certainly be appreciated.Thanks
Hi taylorzambri,We had the same problem. Spring is here now...and I am noticing that they are starting to turn green...hopefully, they will all follow suit (I am keeping my fingers crossed). I think they go brown because they in shock...anyway, good luck....
Hello taylorzambri,I did some quick research and it seems that what you are describing is pretty common for newly planted cedars during their first fall and winter. However, to be safe, consult your local nursery or gardening centre and they'll be able to tell you for sure.Don't forget to let us know what it was!JenniferWeb promotions editor

These two sides, the top two from South Africa last year, are playing a mere 400km from each other on New Zealand's North Island when they take on the Hurricanes and the Chiefs this weekend.
The DHL Stormers will play the 'Canes in the relatively unknown venue of Palmerston North, in only the seventh Vodacom Super Rugby match involving a team from South Africa.
The Sharks return to Waikato Stadium in Hamilton for a replay of the 2012 final, where they were beaten by the Chiefs after three very tough weeks on the road (or rather, in the air).
In the first match on local soil, the Waratahs will be aiming for only the second Australian win in South Africa this weekend (our teams lead the Aussies by 5-1 locally in 2013). They take on the Vodacom Bulls – a team they have not beaten since 2005 – at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday afternoon.
And in the final encounter for the weekend (from a South African point of view), two teams captained by two cousins face off at the Free State Stadium on Saturday evening. The cousins are Toyota Cheetahs captain Adriaan Strauss and Southern Kings skipper Andries Strauss.
Hurricanes v DHL Stormers
Palmerston North is the DHL Stormers' destination on Friday when they start their Vodacom Super Rugby tour with a tough match against the Hurricanes at the FMG Stadium.
It's not the best-known venue in New Zealand, but the DHL Stormers have actually played there twice before and head into this weekend's encounter having beaten the Hurricanes in their last encounter in Palmerston North.
That was in 2007, when the DHL Stormers won convincingly by 30-17. Of the current crop of players, only Jean de Villiers, Gio Aplon, Andries Bekker and Brok Harris were in action on that day. In 2005 though, the 'Canes were too good for the Capetonians at the same venue (12-9). The team from New Zealand's capital has played in Palmerston North nine times before – they've won five and lost four.
It's not the happiest hunting ground for South African teams though, with only two wins from six matches there. This includes the Vodacom Bulls going down to the Highlanders in 2009.
The DHL Stormers are on a two-match winning streak against the Hurricanes and lead their overall head-to-head statistics by 8-6, but the Capetonians are very mindful of the threat posed by the team that scored the most tries in Vodacom Super Rugby in 2012's league phase.
"The Hurricanes have a quality set of backs, with a few very good steppers and a settled centre combination of Conrad Smith and Tim Bateman," said DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee. "Our defence will be tested – this is a good Hurricanes side.
"They feed off turnover possession – just look at some of the tries they've scored. We simply can't afford to make silly mistakes and have to be composed with ball in hand. As soon as you turn over possession, they will punish you.
"This is a massively important game for us – it's our first on tour and we want to start on positive and winning note, but it will not easy."
The teams are:
Hurricanes: Andre Taylor, Alapati Leiua, Conrad Smith (captain), Tim Bateman, Matt Proctor, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito, Karl Low, Brad Shields, Jason Eaton, Jeremy Thrush, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Motu Matu'u, Ben Franks. Replacements: Ash Dixon, Ben May, Mark Reddish, Faifili Levave, Ardie Savea, Chris Smylie, Tusi Pisi.
DHL Stormers: Joe Pietersen, Gio Aplon, Juan de Jongh, Jean de Villiers (captain), Bryan Habana, Gary van Aswegen, Dewaldt Duvenage, Duane Vermeulen, Michael Rhodes, Siya Kolisi, Andries Bekker, De Kock Steenkamp, Pat Cilliers, Deon Fourie, Steven Kitshoff. Replacements: Scarra Ntubeni, Brok Harris, Rynhardt Elstadt, Nizaam Carr, Nic Groom, Louis Schreuder, Damian de Allende.

Chiefs v The Sharks
The Sharks are back in Waikato, the scene of last season's Vodacom Super Rugby final which they remarkably qualified for despite having to fly to Brisbane and Cape Town for tough playoff matches.
The final against the Chiefs turned out to be one match too many after a rigorous travel schedule during which The Sharks clocked up close to 35,000 kilometres from Durban to Brisbane to Cape Town to Hamilton.
The defeat in the 2012 final was The Sharks' fourth successive defeat against the Chiefs, something they will want to put right this weekend. But it won't be easy – the last time the "Mooloo Men" got beaten at home by teams from South Africa, was three years ago when they lost on back-to-back weekends against the Vodacom Bulls (19-33) and the DHL Stormers (15-49).
A week after these two defeats, the Chiefs drew with the Toyota Cheetahs, 25-25, in Hamilton.
The Chiefs will also be smarting after losing their last two Vodacom Super Rugby encounters, at home against the Reds and then in Sydney against the Waratahs.
The Sharks, heavily hit by injuries, have named a severely changed team this weekend, with coach John Plumtree saying his side will have to forget what has happened in the last couple of weeks and just do their best.
"We just have to dig in and do our best," said Plumtree this week from Sydney, where The Sharks based themselves.
"We've worked really hard on our game, trying to improve our game, trying to improve our attack, but it is really difficult with all these (injury) setbacks."
Chiefs: Gareth Anscombe, Lelia Masaga, Tim Nanai-Williams, Richard Kahui, Asaeli Tikoirotuma, Aaron Cruden, Augustine Pulu, Nick Croswell, Tanerau Latimer, Liam Messam, Brodie Retallick, Craig Clarke (captain), Michael Kainga, Mahroni Schwalger, Toby Smith. Replacements: Rhys Marshall, Ben Tameifuna, Michael Fitzgerald, Sam Cane, Brendon Leonard, Bundee Aki, Charlie Ngatai.
The Sharks: Riaan Viljoen, Odwa Ndungane, Frans Steyn, Meyer Bosman, Piet Lindeque, Pat Lambie, Charl McLeod, Lubabalo Mtembu, Jean Deysel (captain), Derick Minnie, Pieter Steph du Toit, Anton Bresler, Jannie du Plessis, Craig Burden, Wiehahn Herbst. Replacements: Kyle Cooper, Danie Mienie, Franco van der Merwe, Keegan Daniel, Marcell Coetzee, Cobus Reinach, Sbura Sithole.

Vodacom Bulls v Waratahs
On Saturday, it will be 2,899 days since the Waratahs' last Vodacom Super Rugby victory over the Vodacom Bulls – or rather seven years, 11 months and seven days.
Yes, the Vodacom Bulls have not lost to the Sydneysiders since going down in their 2005 semi-final. For seven straight matches, including three in Australia, the team from Pretoria have been on the the winning side.
The Waratahs' last win at Loftus Versfeld – where they face the Vodacom Bulls on Saturday afternoon – was more than a decade ago, on 9 March 2002, when they smashed the team from Pretoria by 51-19.
But both teams are on an upward curve – the Vodacom Bulls have won both their matches since returning to South Africa following their tough tour Down Under, while the Waratahs have put a slot start to the competition behind them by winning three of their last four encounters.
Victories over the Toyota Cheetahs in Pretoria and the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth have catapulted the Vodacom Bulls to the top spot on the South African Conference log – a position they would not like to lose this weekend.
"We finally played the rugby we wanted last weekend and the challenge will be to back it up against the Waratahs," Vodacom Bulls coach Frans Ludeke said.
"They are dangerous opponents and at this level the margins are very small, so we cannot afford to play at any level other than our best."
Vodacom Bulls captain Pierre Spies added: "The Waratahs are capable of beating anyone, as they showed against the Chiefs last week.
"We will need to use the momentum we have created last week on attack, but from a defensive perspective, they will ask a lot of new questions. We will have to answer all of them if we want to keep on winning."
Vodacom Bulls: Jürgen Visser, Akona Ndungane, JJ Engelbrecht, Jan Serfontein, Bjorn Basson, Morné Steyn, Jano Vermaak, Pierre Spies (captain), Arno Botha, Dewald Potgieter, Juandré Kruger, Flip van der Merwe, Werner Kruger, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Dean Greyling. Replacements: Willie Wepener, Hencus van Wyk, Wilhelm Steenkamp, Jacques Potgieter, Francois Hougaard, Louis Fouchè, Lionel Mapoe.
Waratahs: TBC
Date: Saturday, 27 April
SA Time: 17h05
Venue: Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
Referee: Francisco Pastrana (Argentina)
Assistant referees: Sindile Mayende (South Africa), Ben Crouse (South Africa)

Toyota Cheetahs v Southern Kings
The two youngest South African Vodacom Super Rugby franchises will fight it out in Bloemfontein on Saturday when the Southern Kings will get their first taste of an away-derby against the Toyota Cheetahs in the Free State Stadium.
The Toyota Cheetahs are experiencing their best season since their "birth year" in 2006 and have already won six of their first nine matches, including an unprecedented five-match winning streak and three wins in Australasia.
In each of 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2006, their debut season, the team from Central South Africa won five matches.
This will be the Southern Kings' third South African derby – despite losing, they kept The Sharks tryless in March but were kept scoreless by the Vodacom Bulls last weekend. Both these matches were in Port Elizabeth.
Having beaten the DHL Stormers and The Sharks earlier in this month, Naka Drotské's side will be approaching Saturday's encounter with a lot of confidence, especially since the Toyota Cheetahs have set their sights on a place in the top six.
"This is a very important match if we want to make the playoffs," said Drotské.
"The Kings have been the biggest surprise in the competition this year. They showed what they can do when they drew with the Brumbies, who top the overall log, in Canberra.
"We obviously have a lot of confidence, but it can also turn out to be a negative, especially when you are playing against a team that is lower down on the log. It's important that our players don't approach this as an easy game. The teams that have beaten the Kings, all had to work very hard and showed respect to the Kings."
Springbok prop Coenie Oosthuizen will play in his 50th Vodacom Super Rugby match for the Toyota Cheetahs on Saturday.
Toyota Cheetahs: Hennie Daniller, Willie le Roux, Johann Sadie, Robert Ebersohn, Raymond Rhule, Burton Francis, Piet van Zyl, Phillip van der Walt, Lappies Labuschagne, Heinrich Brüssow, Francois Uys, Lood de Jager, Lourens Adriaanse, Adriaan Strauss (captain), Coenie Oosthuizen. Replacements: Ryno Barnes, Trevor Nyakane, Ligtoring Landman, Frans Viljoen, Sarel Pretorius, Elgar Watts, Ryno Benjamin.
Southern Kings: George Whitehead, Siyanda Grey, Ronnie Cooke, Andries Strauss (captain), Michael Killian, Demetri Catrakillis, Shaun Venter, Jacques Engelbrecht, Wimpie van der Walt, Cornell du Preez, Rynier Bernardo, Steven Sykes, Kevin Buys, Bandise Maku, Schalk Ferreira. Replacements: Virgile Lacombe, Grant Kemp, David Bulbring, Luke Watson, Nicolas Vergallo, Waylon Murray, Siviwe Soyzwapi.

The story of software architecture reminds me of the following story.
"A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever", said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
- A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
Software architecture is "'turtles all the way down."
Many of us can relate. In dysfunctional organizations, architects and developers fail to communicate effectively. The result is a lack of transparency and a lack of understanding by both sides, as shown in the diagrm (click to enlarge). The failure often occurs (though I recognize there are other causes) because architecture is about breadth and development is about depth. Each group has disparate views of software architecture, and while both are warranted, a gap between these views exists. The architect might focus on applications and services while the developer focuses on the code. Sadly, there is a lot in between that nobody is focused on. It is this gap between breadth and depth that contributes to ivory tower architecture.
Without question, the ivory tower is dysfunctional (regardless of cause), and systems lacking architectural integrity are a symptom of ivory tower architecture. So assuming good intent on the part of the architect and the developer, how can we bridge the gap between breadth and depth? How can we communicate more effectively? How do we increase understanding and transparency?
My favorite definition of software architecture was offered by Ralph Johnson in an article by Martin Fowler. He states:
In most successful software projects, the expert developers working on that project have a shared understanding of the system design. This shared understanding is called 'architecture.' This understanding includes how the system is divided into components and how the components interact through interfaces. These components are usually composed of smaller components, but the architecture only includes the components and interfaces that are understood by all the developers…Architecture is about the important stuff. Whatever that is.
The key aspect of this definition that differentiates it from many other definitions of architecture is that of "shared understanding." We must have a shared understanding of how the system is divided into components, and how they interact. Architecture isn't just some technical concept, but also a social construct. And it is through this that we can break down the divide between architects and developers.
To ensure shared understanding, we have to architect "all the way down." Architects cannot worry only about services and developers cannot worry only about code. There is a huge middle ground that each must also focus on, as illustrated by the diagram at right (click to enlarge).
Focusing exclusively on top level abstractions is not enough. Emphasizing only code quality is not enough either. We must bridge the gap through other means, including module and package design. Often times, when I speak, I ask the audience to raise their hands if they spend time on service design. Most do. I also ask them to raise their hand if they spend time on class design and code quality. Again, most do. But then I ask if they also spend time on package and module design. Usually, only a small percentage leave their hands raised.
This is unfortunate, because module and package design are equally as important as service and class design. But somewhere along the way, with our emphasis on services and code quality, we've lost sight of what lies in between. Within each application or service awaits a rotting design, and atop even the most flexible code sits a suite of applications or services riddled with duplication and lack of understanding. A resilient package structure and corresponding software modules help bridge the divide between services and code.
Certainly, if I've said it once, I've said it at least a few times, we need to start focusing on modularity to ensure a consistent architecture story is told. It is the glue that binds. It's the piece that helps bridge low level class design with higher level service design. It's the piece that helps bring down the ivory tower, enhance communication, increase transparency, ensure understanding, and verify consistency at multiple levels. It is the piece that allows us to "architect all the way down."
18 Responses to "Turtles and Architecture"
As a developer, I think the problem of the divide between architect and developer stems from a culture of assuming that the architect holds a senior position in a hierarchical organisation. Subsequently the developer's opinion typically will have less weight, even when it comes to implementation design.
This can result in the developer becoming disenfranchised with the development process, creating a rift that is often hard to bridge.
Hopefully with new development methodologies (such as Agile) these antiquated views on hierarchy will be diminished leading to improved communication overall.
Good point Ben, this tends to happen a *lot* in organisations and I've certainly experienced disenfranchisement myself. For me, the software architecture role is different, but it's a *role* rather than a rank.
I like your article Kirk. I've written an article about this gap before (http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/pages/book/mind-the-gap.html) but never thought of looking at it from a granularity perspective.

Ron Palmeri Slowly Escapes the Long Shadow of Halsey Minor
Ron Palmeri easily admits that were it not for serial entrepreneur Halsey Minor, he wouldn't be where he is today. But Palmeri says today that as Minor's right-hand man at Minor's now defunct venture capital firm Minor Ventures, he did far more than execute on Minor's visionary ideas. Crucially, Palmeri says, he was coming up with many of them.

The donor of the largest gift in Mayville State's history was kept a secret before Wednesday's announcement.
"No leakage, which is surprising," said Tim Strand, owner of the downtown Hardware Hank. "In a small town, something usually seeps out."
And it still hasn't.
Wednesday's donor of a $1 million endowment for scholarships will remain anonymous, Mayville State President Gary Hagen said. All that's known is that the donor is an alum and related to people with the last name of Nelson, since the gift is called "The Nelson Family Endowed Scholarship," which doesn't narrow it much in this Scandinavian region.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says U.S. Highway 53 will not be relocated through a mine pit in the Virginia area.
The state needs to relocate Highway 53 by 2017 because United Taconite, owned by Cliffs Natural Resources, plans to mine ore located under the current road bed. MnDOT had been focusing on two possibilities the most: a shorter route through the Auburn Pit and a longer route to the northeast.
MnDOT says at a meeting Thursday, Cliffs officials said the company would not grant an easement for the route to go through the pit. MnDOT says Cliffs cited a number of concerns, including risk to future mining in the corridor, environmental compliance, and the risk to motorists traveling through an active mining area.
MnDOT said it would continue to move forward with the Highway 53 relocation project and does not anticipate major changes to the proposed schedule.
Project manager Roberta Dwyer said that they will decide within a week if they will evaluate the options they have, or go back and start exploring additional ones.
She said the city of Virginia has seen some positive with the option around the eastern edge of Virginia, like the placement of utilities and the Mesabi Trail.

Hate Mail: R-Patz and ScarJo in a Movie Together!
Robert Pattinson and Scarlett Johansson have signed on to play lead characters in Hate Mail, a quasi romance exploring how different people react to the hate mail they receive. Also starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, the flick has an interesting premise, no? But seriously, the real question is: Will Robert and Scarlett make a good on-screen couple?
It looks like Robert is packing in quite a few new movies since his vampire days with Twilight have come to an end, including the recent Cosmopolis.
As for ScarJo, she has her own blockbuster franchise to worry about, as The Black Widow in The Avengers (and rumor has it she will reprise her role in a vehicle made especially for Samuel L. Jackson, titled Nick Fury). She also recently wrapped Hitchcock, in which she played Janet Leigh (who, in turn, played the most famous victim of all time in Psycho).
Go get it guys!

International spotlight: UK Bantamweight Paul McVeigh dominates at Cage Warriors FC 40
Bantamweight Paul McVeigh's (18-6) hot streak continued in the co-main event slot of Cage Warriors FC 40. The 28 year old McVeigh took on Germany's Andreas Bernhard (7-2) in a five round title bout for the CWFC bantamweight title. A four star prospect at 135 pounds McVeigh left little doubt to why he is considered one of the UK's best under 155 competitors.
McVeigh opened up round one with a mix of strikes that kept Bernhard off balance. Head kicks and looping hooks from McVeigh did not allow the shorter (5'1) Bernhard to close the distance. A hard knee from McVeigh that shook Bernhard further swung the first round in the Irishman's favor.
In the second round Bernhard was able to drag the fight to mat. On the ground McVeigh's improving ground game was on display as he worked from side control into a fight ending mount position. McVeigh battered Bernhard with punches until the referee had seen enough. The official time of the TKO win for McVeigh came at the 2:57 point of round two.
A winner of five of his last six fights since 2008 McVeigh has earned his spot as the man to beat at 135 pounds in the UK MMA scene. While a handful of interesting fights remain for McVeigh on his side of the Atlantic, the time for him to test his fight skills in the US draws closer with each passing victory. The continued success of UK import Brad Pickett in the UFC in a abstract way also helps McVeigh and proves that UK fighters in the featherweight and bantamweight class have a place in the world's largest MMA organization.
If, McVeigh continues to put away opponents in impressive fashion than he should earn his shot in the UFC or perhaps even Bellator FC before the end of 2011.

NEW YORK—As the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and with the playoff field opening up in front of them, the expectation for the Rangers to win their first Stanley Cup since 1994 grows. Whether or not that happens, New York is on a solid organizational path, and the Rangers' 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators in Thursday night's Game 7 was the next step.
The Rangers missed the playoffs with a loss on the final day of John Tortorella's first full season as their coach. Last year, they squeaked in on the last day, and went out in five games. Now, they are on to the second round. The Blueshirts march forward, and they do so with a veritable brigade of homegrown products.
— Olson: Madison Square Garden rocks like '94
— Three Stars: Henrique 'blacked out'
— Full schedule: Second-round slate starts Friday
Yes, the Rangers have Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards, two high-priced free-agent imports. In advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals to face the Washington Capitals, though, the Rangers leaned heavily on players who have come through their system, from the longest-tenured player in New York, Henrik Lundqvist, who made 26 saves in Game 7, to the newest member of the team, playoff debutant Chris Kreider.
"It's a tremendous experience," Tortorella said of the Rangers' first win in a Game 7 since the 1994 Finals. "It's hard to explain. People want to play in those games. Do you want to win a series 4-0? Sure. You want to win the games and get out of it. But when you get into this type of situation, it's a great opportunity, because you just don't play many of these. For such a young group, and we're still a really young team—Ottawa's supposed to be a young team, but we're a year younger, as far as overall age, than Ottawa—to get these types of situations under your belt, and have some success, at least in this first round, I think it'll bode very well for our young guys, and there's a lot of them with our club."
It was Kreider, New York's 2009 first-round pick and at 20, the youngest Ranger, who got them rolling in Game 7 with a sliding play to take the puck away from Nick Foligno just outside the Ottawa zone. Kreider's play sparked a 3-on-1 culminating in a goal for 2005 first-round pick Marc Staal. The assists went to first-year captain Ryan Callahan, a fourth-round pick in 2004, and Derek Stepan, a second-rounder in 2008.
"A lot of us have been together for a long time, coming through the organization," Staal said. "You grow tight relationships and it carries onto the ice. You need different guys every night in the playoffs, and I'm glad we could help out like that tonight."
The goal that stood up as the game-winner was set up by a backhand pass from 2004 second-round pick Brandon Dubinsky and scored by defenseman Dan Girardi, who signed with the Rangers as an undrafted free agent in 2006 and this season became an All-Star.
"Obviously, it's huge to score the game-winner in Game 7 in the first round," Girardi said. "It's obviously big for myself, but anyone could have scored the goal tonight and been the hero, and a lot of guys did a lot of little things that might have gone unnoticed. Guys diving to get the puck out, taking a hit to make a play, all the little things that go into winning a Game 7 sometimes go unnoticed, and the guy who gets a goal, a lot of the attention goes to him. There's a lot of other guys in here that deserve it."
That includes second-year defenseman Ryan McDonagh, who played 25:13 almost exclusively against Ottawa's top two lines, and blocked three shots, with a plus-1 rating for the night. McDonagh was a first-round draft pick of the Canadiens in 2007, but while still at the University of Wisconsin was traded to the Rangers for Scott Gomez, whose failure as a free agent was the last straw for New York's free-spending ways.
McDonagh and Stepan were teammates with the Badgers, and now are together on Broadway, along with former rival Carl Hagelin, who made his pro debut this season after four years at Michigan. In Kreider, who made his NHL debut in Game 3, the Rangers have another recent college star, as the rookie signed his first pro contract shortly after winning this year's national title with Boston College. Kreider has improved with each game he has played at the sport's highest level.
"I'm learning every single day," Kreider said. "I think I'm going to be learning for a very long time. This is just my fifth game. At this level, I don't think anyone's comfortable. The pace is so high, everyone's pushing themselves to another level."
Said Lundqvist, the seventh-round draft pick in 2000: "When you're 21 or 22, every year means a lot. It means a lot more than when you're a little bit older, because you're still learning a lot from the game. I'm still learning, but I learned more when I was younger, how to approach it, how to take care of myself. I feel like this year, all the young guys have been more consistent, and better players, and it comes with understanding the game."
The Rangers now understand what it takes to win a Game 7. They are young, they are hungry, and however these playoffs turn out for them, they are moving forward with a core group of young players who can handle playing in New York, because for most of them, it's the only place they've ever played in the NHL.
"It sits well now, and they help us here now," Tortorella said. "I just lick my chops for the future."
