No one really knows how good Mursak is as the whole of last season was lost to his injury. He played so little and was so far behind that he might have been better served staying in injured reserve.
Brunnstrom is an AHL player, pure and simple. He will never be an NHL player. I've seen them before and that is what he is. I also am not certain that Joakim Andersson will ever be an NHL player. He will be a fourth liner if he is.
Most teams drag guys up before they are ready and stunt their growth so they become, well, spare parts. I see this happening all the time down the road in Raleigh. I prefer the Detroit approach, despite the detractors amongst the "fans" on these boards.
Actually, what was awful was the way that Babcock misused Holmstrom last season. Putting him on a line with a couple of dump and chase guys just plain was stupid. Given the injuries to Cleary, Holmstrom would have been much more effective on one of the first two lines, but Babcock had already made up his mind that Homer would be a part-time player.
Babcock must go if the Red Wings are to have any chance of winning anything in the near future.
To claim that anyone in Michigan makes barbeque is a misstatement. Half the people in my old home state think that the backyard grill is a barbeque. Many even think this stuff made with hamburger and ketchup is barbeque. This poll is a non-starter to a resident of North Carolina.
Real barbeque is smoked pork shoulder cooked over live coals for hours. Even down here in the home of this stuff, very few places still cook this way. We are blessed to have "Short Sugar's" here in Reidsville. This joint still cooks over wood and makes the best table sauce in the world.
I have been a fan of the Red Wings since before Gordie Howe was playing. You bet, most of the current fans are spoiled. They do not know the tribulation of the "Days of Darkness with Harkness". They do not know how horrible it was to have Jack Adams trade off a fan favorite and star simply because the guy looked at him wrong.
Most of these people are ignorant too. They can look at the facts and add 2+2 and get 6.8. They talk about Holland and his loyalty. It is an issue, for sure. Babcock would be gone and a new, effective coach would be in his place after the last two seasons and playoffs were it not for this loyalty factor.
Oh come now! This kind of dishonest garbage is a specialty of the extreme right wing Republicans. They have a mentality that says that only they are fit to govern. Look at the record. Only the blind cannot see that this sort of deceit is characteristic of that bunch.
A lot of you think that Babcock is the be all and end all of coaches. His performance for the last two years was less than average. His players play better for others. I have been following the Red Wings for over 60 years and I have seen this happen before. The loyalty that the same people who support Babcock lament in management is the only reason why he wasn't canned 30 minutes after Nashville ended the Wings season. Regardless of who puts on the Winged Wheel, the team will go nowhere if a coaching change is not made.
Semin will be signed for about 3 million to a one year deal by someone. This will be a redemption deal; a chance for him to prove his is a first rank player. Why not take him on that basis? Suter is probably going to be in Nashville, so he does not factor into the spending for next season. (I have no knowledge of this, but I have strong feelings that he will not move.) Parise is *not* a 7 million dollar player, but that may be what it takes to sign him. (Travis Zajac is the Devils best player and it is showing in the playoffs.) I have been opposed to signing Semin, but the more I think about it, he is the most likely to give the Red Wings a boost.
Now on another subject of even more importance. Given the high level of performance of all the Red Wings players in the World Championships and the poor performance in the Stanley Cup playoffs, is this not a reflection on the Red Wings coaches? I believe this is reason enough to change the whole staff. Babcock did a hideous job last season. It is time to move him somewhere else. He and his acolytes need to go.
The first thing that should be done to improve the Red Wings is to get rid of the whole coaching staff. The assistants hurt the team. They were selected by the head coach. He must be held responsible.
I have been involved in oval track racing since 1946. I feel I know what both drivers and fans think as I've talked about things at length.
Fans do like a nice messy crash with NO INJURIES. Actually, the drivers will discuss crashes at length too. No one wants to see a wreck with bad injuries or a fatality.
Back when I started hanging around the tracks, we had minimal safety equipment and we had a lot of serious wrecks. It was only in the late 60s that the modern safety equipment started to be developed. If the current state of the art had existed then, my heroes Don Branson, Jimmy Knight, and Jud Larson would not have died in race cars.
I sincerely doubt that any driver today thinks that much about the possibility of being killed. The cars are much safer as are the tracks. We all need to realize that racing, be it straight line or oval track, is dangerous and bad consequences can happen.
I see this thread is dominated by the trolls below the bridge, and that is to be expected.
It will be difficult and the State of Superior would need to be on an austerity budget, but then, these counties are on one now, eh!
Just remember, if dah Yoop leaves, the trolls from the mitten will have no place to dump their criminals.
"Stay strong for dah Yoop, eh!"
PS: I think Yooperland has a better ring to it for a name than does Superior.
Once again, I see a whole lot of ignorance expressed in this thread. Do you people realize that Hudler was the only forward besides Zetterberg who had any upside at all in the playoffs? He works hard, he plays in the corners and in front of the net. He is never going to be a Selke trophy contender, but he is not as bad defensively as many bigger forwards in the league.
Ericsson would be welcomed by every other team in the league. He is in the top dozen defensemen, so the Wings must keep him. He has learned to play a simple game and that is why he is getting better and better.
Ian White and Kyle Quincy play well together. That was obvious in the playoffs and will be a good pairing if the coaches are willing to take off their blinders and go with that pairing.
The assistant coaches must be dismissed for non-performance. This experiment should result in their sponsor, Mr. Babcock, being put on a very short leash, indeed. If there was a decent replacement out there, I would be advocating replacing him.
I would like to see Suter and Parise signed like most everyone here. I suspect that Suter will be given a new contract by Nashville, so that may not happen. Anser has mentioned the financial situation in New Jersey. He has given the most conservative estimate of the state of that troubled franchise. Many sports economists see the franchise folding and being returned to the league within a year, ala Phoenix. I think Parise can be grabbed and he will fit in quite well.
I still do not understand giving Bertuzzi a contract extension. He looked old and not at all engaged in the end of the regular season and in the playoffs.
I am quite certain that most of the team was below par physically in the playoffs. Babcock is starting to sound like he needs a tinfoil hat like Tortorella.
The first thing that needs to be done is to instill a fresh outlook and a different scheme on for the team. That means that Babcock and his preposterous choices for assistant coaches need to go. The team looked stale all the last three seasons. That is a coaching issue.
It would be nice to bring in some outside talent. I sincerely doubt that Ryan Suter is going to escape the clutches of Nashville as they have indicated they will spend to keep him. They have cap space too. There are other very serviceable blueliners out there, but they are not impact players. Please consider also, that virtually every team in the league would be happy to take any of the Detroit defenders off their hands.
I am sure that Parise will be in play at forward. New Jersey is in a tight cap situation and also has little real money to play with. The team is rapidly heading the way of Phoenix and may become a ward of the league by the start of next season. A very bad ownership situation is responsible for this.
I am most concerned at this point with getting a backup goalie. Unless his back situation improves dramatically in the next 60 days, Joey MacDonald will be available. His back issues have already derailed his career once and it looks as if it is happening again.
Anyway, any changes that should be made for the next season must start with a fresh outlook from the coaching staff. If this is not done, the results will be more frustrated fans.
The first thing that comes to mind is that it was obvious that Datsuyk, Lidstrom, Franzen, Cleary and Bertuzzi were all playing hurt enough to affect Their performance. Read that and let it sink in ye haters of the management. I am inclined to think that only White and Ericsson were totally healthy of the defense corps.
Do changes need to be made? Ya, you betcha, eh! The first change needed is to hire some effective assistant coaches. This experiment went badly off course from the preseason on and got worse as time passed. Since this was Babcock's call, he should be held responsible. I personally have never liked him or his coaching style. But, who could be found who would be an improvement?
The biggest factor regarding lack of depth was and remains the head injury to Patrick Eaves. He has been an important part of the Red Wings. He can play on any line and be productive. He and Miller provided this flexibility for the Red Wings.
The defense is not in bad shape, regardless of if Stuart moves elsewhere. I feel that Lidstrom does not want to go out on a bad note and that is what will happen if he retires now. Ericsson, Kronwall, and Kindl will be back for sure and that is not bad. Both Ericsson and Kindl are better than at least half the blueliners in the league. Quincy should be back. He plays much better with White than with others. I see Smith fitting in well and moving into Stuart's slot with few issues. (Now listen to the gripes here when he turns the puck over.) Someone right handed and good needs to be found to partner with Lidstrom. I really do not see Suter moving as Nashville has enough cap space to keep him. Oh yes, I also see Doug Janik going elsewhere. He will get an offer for an NHL contract from some other team (Carolina?).
The forward corps has some issues. Juri Hudler was the most consistent offensive threat in the playoffs. He plays hard in front of the net and in the corners. His slow skating makes him a defensive liability, but most of the guys who will be available are not strong two way forwards either. Zetterberg and Datsuyk need rehab this summer and they will get that, I am certain. Holmstrom was misused all season. That can be placed on the plate of the head coach. He wants him gone. Franzen looked from before the "all star" game on like a guy with a pinched nerve in his lower back. He could not skate well, was soft on the puck and generally played like an old man from a no-check recreation league team. Bertuzzi also was playing lame and sore. I would never have signed him for a contract extension, but I have been skeptical about him from day one.
Emmerton needs to get better if he wants to remain with the Wings. The fact that he is a center kept him on the roster, not his play. I have no problem with Miller and Abdelkader. They did what they were asked to do. Helm will need to work hard to rehab from his injury as that can be very limiting for someone who is as strong on the stick as he is.
Nyquist must get stronger. His passes are way to soft. They are stick to stick, but I can pass harder and I am almost 70. He is more easily ridden off the puck than anyone else who played significant minutes. This kid will be a star if he works on getting 30 pounds bigger and a whole lot stronger.
The other forwards from Grand Rapids are mostly spare parts. The key guy right now is Eaves. If he is able to play next season, the Red Wings get much better and much more flexible. I can see the Wings signing Parise. New Jersey has serious financial issues and little cap space. Regardless, the Wings need to pick up another offensive guy who can also play defense. These are easier to talk about than to find.
Goal is in good hands, at least with the starter. The backup will be an issue unless Joey MacDonald is able to get his back problems fixed. I see so many other teams in the same boat that it will be hard to come up with a quality second netminder unless some team like Toronto gets impatient with what they have. Mason in Columbus is a project, but his difficulties can be fixed by a good goalie coach.
Draft choice complaints are totally bogus. Look at the drafts from 1997 on. See how many players actually played in the NHL. The Red Wings look amazingly good. They actually draft guys who have the ability to play in the league.
First of all, I find it interesting that you who are ranting about the government arresting this guy and sentencing him to a relatively short term (he could have been sentenced for more like 20 years) are the same people who ranted about not catching terrorists after 911.
Now I know how the FBI operates. I know how the spying on domestic terrorist works. I also know that visiting web sites run by groups that advocate violence against the United States is an open invitation to the FBI and other agencies to follow you about for a while.
You people who are upset about this cannot have it both ways. Either the FBI can track potential domestic terrorists or you cannot be screaming for their hides when something like Oklahoma City happens. That was a plot hatched by right wing nut cases from Michigan and not Islamic terrorists, but it had the same result.
No, I am not an apologist for the FBI. I had them following me around during the Veit Nam war as I was a protestor. Their efforts didn't work too well as I had a connection inside the bureau who kept me informed of what they were doing. The only thing I ever did was drive that right wing nut case who ran the FBI crazy.
I knew the longer the game went scoreless the worse the chances of the Red Wings winning would be.
This was another game where there was little effort to get to the middle of the ice. Quite frankly, Filppula played very soft. Franzen played very soft. Much of the game, Ballerina Bert was in evidence.
This series is over.
Now I am very concerned about the absolute hatchet job that Raffi Torres did on Hossa in that game.
This is probably a good move. Fraser has developed players and he runs the team so they play in the manner of the Wings. These are good things. The goal keeping situation has been less than wonderful for some time now. The last consistent goalies were in the days of Marc LaMothe. That was quite a while ago.
Literally billions of dollars have been paid by users into a trust fund which is to be used to pay for dredging and other harbor work necessary for safe use, both commercial and recreational. Since the days of Reagan, the members of a certain party have decided that the Great Lakes harbors are mere backwaters and unworthy of use of the moneys that those users have paid into the trust. They also have allowed the Intracoastal Waterway to silt up to dangerous depths in many areas. Pave the waterways and these people would be spending money like fools.
Weber is still a marked man. Someone will get a legitimate shot at him and will nail him.
Newfie, I agree with your assessment. With Miller playing with Emmerton, the kid looked much more confident and played well throughout the game. Miller is smallish, but he plays big. Even with his beat up knees, Holmstrom has been skating well and can play up with the first line if needed. I think that Babcock was in coast mode for the second half of the season and that explains a lot of why the team really does seem to have flipped the proverbial switch.
As for the personnel used on the penalty kill, it is pretty much the same as it has been all year. Perhaps Datsuyk and Zetterberg are being used a few seconds more, but the main reliance is on Cleary and Abdelkader then Miller and Filppula. The coaches are doing a much better job of keeping shifts short. Ideally, penalty killers should not play over 30 seconds per shift. The big difference on defense in the kill is getting Ericsson back and relatively healthy. That plus the fact that Quincy is playing as was expected makes a huge difference.

Greetings from the Courtyard Marriott in Woburn, Massachusetts — Admissions_Daniel here blogging from the road. As the calendar turns to May, the "gears" in the world of admissions make a sudden shift. No longer is the Class of 2010 our chief concern, instead we have begun to focus on the Classes of 2011, 2012, and beyond (wow, that sounds so futuristic). That previous statement is not 100% accurate though, the Class of 2010 remains central to our thoughts as we count our deposits and see if we have made the magical number of 1160. See May 1st was a postmark date, so there won't be news on that front for a a week or so as we continue to receive and process our mail. But for all intent and purpose, high school juniors and sophomores, known to us as prospective students, have become the priority.
Since the Hopkins Insider blog launched in December the focus has been primarily be on the Class of 2010. We have written about questions regarding the application, discussed the application review timeline and process, provided detail information about the release of decisions, and ultimately delved into getting a view of life at Hopkins for the admitted students. You all have been given an inside perspective on two of three main roles of Admissions counselors, file review and conversion.
But there is something much more – RECRUITMENT. The world of college admissions is quite cyclical, beginning at the stage of recruitment (typically the spring of a student's junior year) and ending the day a student enrolls at their college choice. Just as one cycle is ending, the other begins in earnest. As we are entertaining admitted seniors on-campus, we are also welcoming prospective juniors in droves during school spring breaks. Once again that phrase "no rest for the weary" rings true.
However, this constant change of roles for an admissions counselors is what keeps us going and what renews our passion for our profession each spring. You don't enter the field of college admissions for the glory, the money, the easy work schedule. Instead, you commit to the field because of your sincere interest in higher education and your love of the cyclical nature of the job, introducing you to a new crop of students each year.
So to mark this occasion, the Hopkins Insider blog will be trying something new this week. Each day I will update with tales from the road, providing deep insight into the recruitment process and an inside perspective on the life of a college admissions counselor while on the road. I hope you all will find this series of entries informative, as I will not only detail what I am up to each day, but provide advice on going about the college search process while trying to make you laugh a bit.
Until tomorrow….
P.S. I am interested in your feedback. Don't hesitate to use the "Comments" section to discuss my daily entries, ask questions, or just leave a comment.

BangorTeifi Contents
This report was published by three English university scholars into the educational system in Wales. The three were Lingen, Symons and Vaughan Johnson. The report unfairly drew attention to the inadequacy of Welsh education . One of their main points was that Welsh children , and often their teachers too, could not speak English. The report was produced in blue books, hence the name. Apart from , and because of, the understandable outrage of Welsh people the report helped to forge a greater sense of national identity and the publication was referred to as "The Treachery of the Blue Books" [Brad y Llyfrau Gleison]. One of the principal Welshmen who fought a campaign against the report was Evan Jones , better known as Ieuan Gwynedd, a minister and a journalist . One of the report's statements was that Welsh was a " peculiar language isolating the masses from the upper portion of society". Sadly, for the Welsh language, faced with such criticism many people did opt for an education in the English language despite the efforts of Ieuan Gwynedd and others. [ Based on an article in"A Helping Hand "by W J Jones 1996]
This is an extract by Aidan Jones from the actual Report as far as it relates to this parish;
I visited to-day the parish of Bangor. I called at the residence of the Vicar, the Rev J. I. Walters, but he was not at home. I had been informed before, and was also informed by some of the parishioners that there is no school of any kind in the parish, neither day nor Sunday school. I called also upon Mr. Daniel Evans, of Tynewydd, the Poor Law Guardian, who also confirmed my previous information, that there is no school in the parish.
I examined three persons in this parish; namely, Enoch Jones, aged fourteen years, Sarah Davis, aged twelve years, and Evan Davies, aged seventeen years. The first had been to school and could read English. He was a sharp boy, and answered tolerably well simple questions in arithmetic on the multiplication and pence tables, and on time, weights, and measures; but he was very deficient in Scripture knowledge. The only answer he could give me about Jesus Christ was, that he came into the world to save sinners. What he did to save sinners, or how sinners were to be saved, he did not know.
The two others could not read either Welsh or English. They were also very ignorant. Neither knew the name of the present month; how many months, weeks, or days in a year; how many pence in 2s 6d.; the name of the Queen; nor how many counties in Wales, &c. They were also both equally ignorant of Scripture knowledge. They knew nothing of the chief or remarkable events or persons recorded the Bible. They could not tell me anything about Jesus Christ, and the way of salvation by him. They could not repeat, one of the Ten Commandments. All the three lived within half a mile from the parish church.
December 17th, 1846. HENRY PENRY, Assistant.

The list of children's books I've loved to read to my kids is l-o-n-g though I've always had a particular fondness for the books of author and illustrator Mo Willems. Unless you live under a rock, or a pile of newborn diapers, you are probably familiar with such stories as Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale. These are the kinds of fun and playful storybooks you should, and probably will, read out loud over and over (and over) again.
I happen to love the result and think it is definitely worth checking out, especially if you just can't read it again, mommy!
[don't miss a great giveaway after the jump!]
Scholastic's new DVD, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! features three Mo Willems story books, but this isn't just a straight narrator along with screen shots of the pages. In fact, the voiceover is by the author himself, and as someone who has listened to loads of audio books with the kids, I get a special thrill when I hear the actual author reading the text exactly how they meant for it to sound.
The three stories do fly by, which is why I was glad to see that the bonus tracks are worth watching too. Mo Willems' visit to a school where he reads Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and even shows the kids how to draw the little bird is engaging and sweet.
It almost makes me forgive all the screaming "NO!" I have to listen to whenever that pigeon begs to drive. -Christina

Zack Greinke is throwing from 90 feet in his recovery effort from a broken collarbone.
The Dodgers have been encouraged by Zack Greinke's recovery from a broken left collarbone, and the right-hander is already throwing less than three weeks removed from surgery.
Greinke threw from 90 feet before Monday's game against the Rockies. He had surgery on April 13 and had a metal plate inserted into his clavicle to stabilize the fracture. But that's not prevented him from beginning a throwing program.
"It's still a little achy here and there, but nothing worse than what you would expect, I think," Greinke said. "You try not to have setbacks but at the same time do what you can."
Greinke is likely to be sidelined until mid-June, but the Dodgers are still pleased with his progress.
"I was pretty excited when he walked through the weight room today," manager Don Mattingly said before Monday's game. "He's feeling better. We're getting closer. We'll see if he's sore tomorrow or feels good again."
He doesn't appear to be ahead of or behind the schedule.
Ted Lilly is hurt … again. This time it's back stiffness that has felled the southpaw.
In what is becoming an almost daily occurrence, another Dodgers pitcher is hurt. Ted Lilly, who lasted just three innings in Monday's 12-2 loss to the Rockies, has stiffness in his back and will have an MRI exam on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury.
Both Lilly and manager Don Mattingly downplayed the injury after the game.
"I think he's okay. From what I heard afterwards, he got kind of tight somewhere in his back there," Mattingly said. "It's something that he's had before. We didn't hear anything about it before the game."
Lilly said he first felt back tightness on Thursday, the day after his start in New York, when he gave up one run in five innings to the Mets. But he didn't think it would last, as he had a similar issue that went away quickly at the beginning of the 2012 season.
Lilly received a cortisone injection in his rib cage and has been shut down for two days.
The Dodgers said Lilly will be reevaluated again on Thursday to determine the next course of action. If he is unable to start on Saturday against the Giants in San Francisco, it is likely that start will go to Matt Magill, who made his major league debut on Saturday against the Brewers.
"I think I have a few things to be concerned about. The back being one of them, and just ineffectiveness," Lilly said on Monday night. "There are a lot of guys in this clubhouse not feeling as good as they'd like to, but you still expect to get the results you're looking for."
Matt Magill over Ted Lilly, healthy or otherwise.
Carl Crawford was scratched from Tuesday's game due to tightness in his right hamstring.
Carl Crawford was scratched from the lineup tonight for precautionary reasons due to tightness in his right hamstring.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) April 30, 2013
Because … of course. Whether it's serious or not is not yet known, but hamstring issues can linger, regardless.
Hanley Ramirez and his thumb are back in action in The Show.
"I just want to play. I don't want to wait any longer. I think I can play," Ramirez said before Monday's game with the Rockies. "If it's tomorrow, it's fine. If it's tonight, it's fine. It's not my decision."
The Dodgers activated Ramirez from the disabled list before Monday's game, and placed Clayton Kershaw on the bereavement list.
Ramirez was 3-for-6 (.500) with a double and three runs batted in and a run scored in two minor league rehab games on Saturday and Sunday with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. He didn't make any throws on Sunday, but manager Don Mattingly was impressed with what he saw of Ramirez on tape.
Don't dive head-first for a while, Hanley. :o
Chad Billingsley does not regret the path he chose after learning his elbow was seriously injured late last season.
Chad Billingsley said he doesn't regret choosing platelet-rich plasma injections over Tommy John surgery last year.
— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) April 30, 2013
He also said he thinks he'll be ready for 2014 Opening Day. If that seems optimistic, it's because it is. Realistically, hopefully he's back and healthy by the 2014 All-Star Game break.
Placed on 7-day DL: C Webster Rivas, SS Ozzie Martinez
Reinstated from DL: C Pratt Maynard, SS Casio Grider, OF Brian Cavazos-Galvez
Also off the 7-day DL is Yasiel Puig.
Alex Castellanos was also placed on the minor-league 7-day DL.
Those assumptions, however, proved incorrect as Castellanos was placed on the 7-day disabled list due to right forearm inflammation prior to Tuesday's game.
"He's got a little soreness in his forearm so we're going to let it calm down a little bit," manager Lorenzo Bundy said prior to the official DL announcement. "He could play, but we're going to err on the safe side."
So if something happens to Crawford, first call would probably go to Scott Van Slyke, even over Puig.

I've been teasing you all with a surprise topic for a little while now, and here it is! OMG a hardware review in The Creamy GUI Center! That sound you're hearing are minds being blown across the planet! Ok, well maybe it's not that radical of a topic; keyboards, mice, and other peripherals are a vital and often overlooked part of the user interface. So this week I decided their time has come as we take a look at the Logitech G series keyboard. And who knows, maybe I'll sneak in an addon or two for good measure. I can't stray too far from my roots can I?
The three flavor flavs
Yeah boy! The Logitech G series of keyboards comes in 3 different varieties. The G11 which features 18 special macro keys, multimedia controls, and back lighting. The G15 which includes everything the G11 has and a flip up little LCD screen which you can show a variety of different information on. And a redesigned version 2 of the G15 which has a sleeker look where the screen is integrated into the chassis instead of flipping up, different colored lighting, and unfortunately a reduced number of macro keys scaled back to 6. While the v2 "G15 Refreshed" model (as Logitech calls it) has a sleeker look, many gamers felt it was a step backwards due to the reduced number of macro keys. Apparently Logitech's reasoning was that the extra macro keys made it difficult to fit on some user's desks. (See my commentary below on this issue.) Unfortunately the v1 G15 has been discontinued, but can still be found on some retailer's shops until supplies sell out, leaving the G11 model the only one widely available with the full 18 macro keys.
The G11 model without the screen is the version I own and used for this review, so unfortunately I don't have first hand experience with the LCD screen. I did do a little research on what kind of information can be displayed on it though. Beyond the typical "widget' style information such as email notices, your system's resources, and instant messaging information, Logitech allows people to extend the functionality by writing little programs for it. A good repository of user written programs can be found at G15 forums and G15 Mods. As far as WoW related stuff, I found programs for it that shows your character's stats, whisper tracker, auction updates, and the handle of who is currently talking in your Teamspeak or Ventrilo server. That's about the extent of my knowledge on the LCD screen given I don't have access to it. I encourage my readers who do to share in the comment sections on useful WoW oriented applications they use.
Using the macro keys
You can assign a variety of functions to the macro keys. At its simplest you can assign it a keystroke or combination of keystrokes, but the complexity ramps up from there. You can assign key macros, launch a program, have they key type a block of text on one button push, or even get complex by writing functions in the script editor. You can assign your keystrokes or macros two different ways. You can use the software when you want precise control on delays between key presses and assigning how long the pause is in between repeated macro loops. You can also press the record key (MR key) to record your macros on the fly in game. If 18 of these special keys aren't enough you have 3 banks you can flip through using the selector keys above the macro keys. All of this is plenty enough reason for purchase if you're in the market for gaming keyboard/pad, but the functionality skyrockets when combined with a few addons.
Complimentary Addons
Two addons I found that really work well with gaming keypads are OPie and Bindpad. Actually these addons work great without a special gaming keyboard or peripheral, but really shine when paired with one. Bind pad allows you to bind a spell, ability, or macro directly to a key (or key combination) allowing you to bypass having to put the action on a hot bar. There's a few addons that do that, but to me Bindpad distinguishes itself from the others with its graphical layout. You can quickly see every action you have bound to keys all in one place, so you won't accidentally use the same binding twice. Bindpad also has a tab for general bindings used for all your characters, and a tab specific to a character. And it you run out of the macro slots that Blizzard provides you, Bindpad lets you make more using its own slots.
OPie was featured in an Addon Spotlight not long ago, so I won't go into a detailed review (but chances are high I will at a later time as I love this addon). It's easy to see how OPie in combination with a gaming keypad is a winning combination. On my Shaman for example, I have a macro key devoted to each element which brings up a totem selection ring. Totems that I need to quickly plop down in the heat of battle get their own key. I adore this setup as I can get to everything quickly and efficiently. This is what we interface fanatics live for!
Overall I really like the G11 keyboard. It's made me a better player as it's even easier to access all my spells and abilities. And with more on the way in WOTLK, hot bar space is getting limited so having the extra keys is handy. I don't understand Logitech's reasoning behind scaling back the amount of macro keys on the G15 Refreshed model. Sure the keyboard takes up more room than an average sized one, but when you factor in the size of a gaming keypad paired with a normal keyboard the space taken by the G11/15v1 is less. Also with having the macro keys being part of the keyboard instead of another peripheral means you have to move your hand less distance to hit the keys, resulting in faster reaction time.
So all in all did you like seeing hardware being featured in today's column? Would you like to see more? I do have several gaming keypads available to me, and if you guys are interested in them being reviewed in the future, let me know in the comments! See you next week!

We're here to make a difference!!
Our purpose as a (Not Profit Organization), is to bring widespread awareness to improve the quality of life during cancer treatment of pre-teen and teenage patients alike (ages 3 to 17), and offer them a way to get back to being kids again, which turns out to be better for everyone. They say that laughter is its own best medicine. We function on that belief and bring a little happiness into each child's world.
Why We Exist For You
Trust is very important when dealing with families, children, and the healthcare profession. If you feel slightly uncomfortable with your caseworker, try to communicate your needs right away. You have the right not to be inundated with anything that doesn't contribute to the quality of care for your child. Many of our staff members understand this, because we and/or our loved ones have shared similar experiences. It's why we exist.Read more...
Laptops of love (LOL) is a charitable organization that works hard to serve children with cancer or any disease that keeps them separated from their family and friends. We clean, recycle and reuse lap and desktop computers that come through your donations as well as various other methods.
When this takes place, a family with a child in a hospital, nursing home, or a physical rehabilitation center due to his/her disease, can request one of these laptops for free for as long as the child wants it. If It's sent back to us, we will put it back into rotation to be setup again to give another child the chance for a laptop. The Direct Recycling of these laptops is on going and paramount for your child.
Once in your child's hands, he or she can keep in contact with family and friends at any given moment via the Internet. We work to tailor the laptop or desktop to each child by placing a custom interface with that child in mind.(music,games, surfing, educational software, etc.)
We want to give children a chance to forget where they are for a bit and enjoy life with a smile. So we need those second hand laptops, desktop computers ,keyboards and mice you're currently not using.
*****If you want to learn more about recycling and reusing, Please give us a call.*****
We try to leave as little a footprint as we can environmentally. It's also why we put as much as we do into one of our laptops. These children deserve the best and at the same time it saves our planet. Good thing right….
Our Base operating system is built for children centered upon the needs of each little girl or boy. It aids in the connectivity to the outside world while undergoing treatment. Being highly customized, some screens are gender specific. It comes per-installed with educational games for children ages 3 to 8. Each child will be able to interact (through the keyboard and mouse), with their computer. The games are bright, friendly, and on a whole, captivating. There are logic games, puzzles, and strategy games. Memory improvement, reading, spelling and also math based games. When there is this kind of engagement a child will be having fun with a smile while they are learning. There's even a game that will teach them to program. Imagine your child's face when he or she builds their very own first game all by themselves. This is a vital activity emotionally. We can't stress how much concern is placed on being easy to use as well. Icons are large and easy to read. Its design is intuitive. It's this way so even the youngest of users can always find what they want to do without any trouble. It empowers a child and set's their minds free to relax, enjoy, . Ever learning and being themselves.
Our Second stage operating system is able to accomplish the coverage of a more vast age range. Its base is used for the children ages 9 to 17. Yet its capacity has been designed to carry a child well into a young adult or further. Even into his or hers college years if they so choose. Its cohesiveness, integrated tools to aid the older child, coupled with an easy-to-use learning platform is vital to achieving happiness. We've aimed it towards the needs of a young student. Still covering the kid inside all of us for its many social platforms like, file transferring, graphics,email and browsers. It's fully loaded with various high end sound and video applications. All aimed at increasing the learning process. There is a completeness for a growing child's needs. Its messaging platform is aimed to increase the child's social awareness and importance of family and friends. Yet we did not sacrifice the gamer within each of the kids nor their ability to create for themselves. To nurture the dreamer inside every child. From the adoption of this computing platform for the older kids we have honed and shaped it to be of life long help. We continue to tailor it to fit each child as necessary for the fully custom experience never to be forgotten by that child.

By Greg Tylka, Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology
Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic worms that live in the soil and feed on plant roots. Nematodes that feed on corn occur in almost every field in Iowa, but most do not reduce corn yields measurably until they increase to high population densities (numbers). Fall is not a recommended time to check fields for damaging population densities of nematodes that feed on corn. The ideal sampling times and methods for nematodes that feed on corn were discussed in an earlier article in ICM News.
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is considered by many to be the most damaging pathogen on soybeans in Iowa, the Midwest and the United States. SCN has a very unique biology that allows it to cause great yield loss (greater than 50 percent), to reproduce very quickly and to survive 10 years or more in the absence of a host crop.
Fall is a great time to sample fields for the presence and population densities of SCN. Specific reasons to sample fields this fall for SCN include to:
Numerous private soil testing laboratories in Iowa offer SCN analysis of soil samples. Additionally, the Iowa State University Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic tests soil samples for SCN. Mail samples to:
Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic327 Bessey HallDepartment of Plant Pathology
and MicrobiologyIowa State UniversityAmes, IA 50011-1020
Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic327 Bessey HallDepartment of Plant Pathology
and MicrobiologyIowa State UniversityAmes, IA 50011-1020
The current fee for SCN analysis at the ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic is $15 per sample for samples from Iowa. Samples sent to the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic should be accompanied by a completed Plant Nematode Sample Submission Form.
Greg Tylka is a professor of plant pathology with extension and research responsibilities in management of plant-parasitic nematodes.

A key figure in Japan's improvised music scene for more than a decade, Toshimaru Nakamura has built a stunning world of sound from just his paradoxical "no-input mixing board," a virtual feedback loop machine. On Egrets (samadhisound 017; 43:56 4 stars) he transforms his high-frequency minimalism into something softer, more contemplative and almost pretty without diminishing his rigor; he also adds a little of his own electric guitar. He turns naked electronic tones into striated riches that hover, flutter and scrape. There are also some bracing duets; on "Semi" acoustic guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama shares highly refined finger-picked tangles that seem to glow within Nakamura's ghostly resonance.

I grew up in the era of the Commodore 64, with favorites like M.U.L.E., Archon and Modem Wars. While I spent most of that time playing games, I dabbled with programming text games in BASIC, and learned how to do pixel art using Garry Kitchen's GameMaker.
I didn't really learn proper game development until many years later, when I started making games in BlitzBasic as a hobby. After completing about a dozen small freeware games, I saw that a few developers were having some financial success with downloadable titles, so I thought I'd give that a try. This was around 2006, right before the current indie and casual game movements gained traction, so it was a bit riskier than it might seem nowadays.
Why did you want to make games?
It's just something I've always done to some extent, and keeps pulling me back, maybe because I get to scratch so many creative itches with one medium. The combination of engineering and art, and making something people can interact with, is really cool.
Why be independent rather than try to work for someone else?
It can be very stressful, but I like the challenge of being on my own. As a solo developer, I have to do everything: programming, design, art, marketing, customer support, lumberjacking, and a variety of janitorial services. There are also a lot of interesting creative obstacles to deal with, like staying productive and figuring out what people will enjoy playing.
What's your game called, and what's it about?
Totally Tiny Arcade is a marathon of 8-bit minigames set inside a classic arcade. Think WarioWare meets MAME, with a bunch of inspiration from cheesy 80's pop culture.
Racing against a time limit, you literally jump inside game machines like Hogger, Moonwalk Patrol, and Miami Heist, to track down the Video Virus that has invaded your favorite arcade!
Do you feel like you're making the game you always wanted to play?
Totally Tiny Arcade definitely plays into my nostalgia for the games I loved as a kid.
But the overall design was very open-ended. I started with the basic idea of turning the arcade itself into a game, and just kept adding, removing, and refining ideas until everything finally locked into place. People usually assume minigames are easy to make, but it took about a year of full-time development to complete.
What are you proudest of about your game?
I really like the strategic element of the arcade itself. Because each token determines the number of levels you play, and machines are often blocked by other players, it really pays to think about which minigame you select for each round. Even with a similar set of machines, it's different every time you play.
It also has a sweet electro-pop soundtrack by Makke, the ultra-famous Commodore remixer!
What one thing would you tell someone to convince them to get your game?
If you like classic 8-bit arcade games, then you'll *love* Totally Tiny Arcade! Also, I'm holding your cat hostage!
What's next?
There are still a bunch of minigames I'd love to add to TTA. But I've also been playing around with some ideas for web-based games. You can follow me on Twitter to stay in the loop!
Want to check out Totally Tiny Arcade for yourself? You can grab it right here! If you'd like to have your own shot at converting our readers into fans, email justin aat joystiq dawt com, subject line "The Joystiq Indie Pitch." Still haven't had enough? Check out the Pitch archives.

ABOUT the ARTIST - Hi, my name is Edward 'Saalik' Simpo and I am the founder of The Imaginary Circus. Born and raised in the heart of San Francisco, California, I've been drawing, painting, designing, and photographing the world around me since birth. Not content to pick one medium or style has left me with a broad range of talents that have given me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of companies and on all types of projects since the beginning of my young design career. Over the years my strengths have grown in graphic design, digital illustration, and user interface design. Although currently pursuing a degree in design, I'm a largely self-taught & self-motivated designer with a desire to play a larger role in the design community. My life is design. I live it. I breathe it. I consume it. I honestly love design and I surround myself in it every day. When I'm not looking at a computer screen you can find me in my art studio drawing or painting. When I'm not being artistic, which doesn't happen often, I'm out on my skateboard learning and relearning tricks, hiking and enjoying nature, traveling, or listening to music – maybe even all at once.
The Imaginary Circus is an interdisciplinary communication design studio striving to improve the human experience by creating eclectic designs that spark the imagination of the masses.
Design is often defined as an artfully strategic approach to problem solving or to the formulation of a plan intended to prompt some effect; while we agree, we believe it is much more. Design is a worldview, a way of seeing the possibility and opportunity around every corner. Design is both a visible and invisible language, part of a greater system, inspiring and delivering information. Design transcends culture and communicates the potential in us all.
We believe in responsible communication. We take great pride in the communication potential that we provide and with it assume full responsibility. From this sense of responsibility comes a commitment to enrich society in a positive and transformative manner through the execution of our work.
The clients I partner with and the projects I take on are carefully considered. I seek clients and projects that possess integrity, convey future-forward thinking, and signal positive social transformation. When I commit to a project, I do so wholeheartedly, bringing my passion, expertise, alliances, and perspective. It is my aim to create lasting, significant work. To do so, I believe I must choose my clients and my projects wisely.
The Imaginary Circus was founded 2004 in San Francisco, California. As a way to display my renaissance way of living, it has since become an outlet to pursue my design career. Since day one I've strived to give my clients the most superior and cost efficient solutions in this vastly competitive market. My primary mission is to help you succeed in your branding efforts. The Imaginary Circus' progression will continue to be driven by my firm belief in the transformative power of art and design.
The foundation of the Imaginary Circus is built on great ideas; That whole concept of never letting go of that inner child. I'm always looking forward to engage with intelligent self-thinkers, whom I can work with to fuel the engine of my imagination for the benefit of each and every client. I will work in consultation with you and your staff to create the images that will profile your company, along with its core values and corporate ethics. I also work with you to attract the eye of potential clients.
My wealth of expertise and comprehensive solutions, coupled with a successful track record of delivering high-end premedia and branding services, paved the way for even greater in-house or virtual productions. I make sure your corporate content and images are represented consistently, accurately and effectively every time with every assignment I handle.
Each creation is well-planned, starting with the brainstorming sessions, continuing through production and right up to the completion. It is all about planning, managing, trying to focus on the parts that have perhaps been overlooked, challenging assumptions, seeking alternatives and choosing the right solutions. A professional business image is guaranteed with every assignment I undertake.
I pride myself on developing strong, long-term relationships with my clients, as well as responding to their individual priorities with solutions that are tailored to their requirements, time-frames and budgets. I work with my clients to understand the full scope and aims of each project, which enables me to design the most appropriate solution.
Imagination should always be the driving force behind art. And art – like life – is an indelible circus.
PORTFOLIO - Due to an unfortunate accident, the destruction of my external hard-drive, most of my past work has been lost to the "fire". Thankfully, I was able to find some of my past work lurking in my gmail inbox. For those of you who've seen my portfolio before the incident, don't fret. I will rebuild my portfolio to be bigger and better than before. Until then, enjoy these relics from my days of yore. LOL!

Logos surround us in digital and physical space, but we rarely examine the thought and artistic thinking that goes into the design of these symbols. Utilizing a silent vocabulary of colors, shapes, and typography, logo designers give a visual identity to companies and organizations of all types. From cave painters to modern designers, artists throughout history have been reducing the complex down to simple ideas that communicate with the

And we Thought Getting Halitosis from Kissing was Bad Enough…
Oh dear, how shall we put this one delicately. You see, at TheraBreath we come across dozens and dozens of news stories every week about the connection between bad breath and bacteria. But when this one hit our desk, we were flabbergasted: According to a new study out of Russia, men may get bad breath from a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
You think you've read it all, and then…
It may sound funny – and c'mon, it is – but the science behind this shudder-inducing paper is quite serious, and the connection between halitosis, body odor, microbes and STDs is deeper than you might think.
For the investigation, a team of Russian specialists from the Tomsk and Kemerovo State Universities in Novobirsk tried a simple experiment. They gathered together nearly three dozen young men, about half of whom had gonorrhea (or were recovering from it). Researchers asked for saliva and armpit sweat samples from each man.
Then, they lined up the samples and smelled them.
Before you judge, ask yourself: What else is there to do in Novobirsk in the dead of winter, besides sniff the saliva and sweat of men with the clap? …Okay, actually quite a lot. (It's the third-largest city in Russia.) But still, this was in the name if science, people!
The Russian scientists came to an interesting discovery. Men with this STD tended to have smellier breath. They also had stronger body odor. Odor-testers often described the smell as "putrid."
So what was going on here? Can STDs really cause bad breath? Researchers sure seemed to think so.
"Perhaps, the immune-dependent reduction of the scent pleasantness in the acute phase of [STD] is part of an evolutionary mechanism ensuring, unconsciously, avoidance of a risky romantic partner," they theorized – meaning that around sexual infections, our noses may tip us off (or really, turn us off).
It's not so odd an idea. At TheraBreath, we've spent decades teaching the public that bacteria are what cause 90 percent of the odor in bad breath. Some STDs – including gonorrhea – are caused by bacterial infections. So why couldn't having a nastymicrobial invasion directly or indirectly cause oral odor?
We already know that odor-causing conditions like thrush (an oral yeast infection) can be transmitted in the bedroom. It only makes sense that bad breath can, too.
As if anyone needed yet another reason to avoid the clap…

Schroon Lake There's something fishy about the Schroon Lake Central School science department.
The school is raising trout in an effort "to offer the best quality science program in New York State," according to teacher Cookie Barker.
"The Schroon Lake Central School Science Department has taken on the mission of providing our students with the best science education in the state of New York," Barker said. "We are developing a program that is aligned with the national science standards, is unique to our school and accentuates our community's values while providing our students with hands-on science opportunities."
The project will be shown to the community Thursday, Sept. 15, 7 to 9 p.m. at the school. Teachers and students will be there to give tours and discuss the construction and projected research ideas.
The project began last spring when the school got 500 rainbow trout sac-fry to raise in a cold water system, built by teacher Mat Riddle, which includes an insulated, 30 gallon aquarium chilled with a thermostatically controlled mini-fridge compressor and cooler unit.
"With the arrival of the trout, came a series of daily learning opportunities as we began our trouble-shooting strategies that accompanied the responsibility of caring for these small fish," Riddle said. "We have perfected many techniques and devised system changes that have been implemented with this initial trout population. Currently, around 75 trout are still surviving in our tank."
Five students applied and were accepted for participation in the trout project — Will Lowe, Jeffery Armstrong, Jimmy Bowen, Dan Maisonville and Clare Whitney. They developed data protocol, conducted water quality tests and monitored growth and development.
This fall the Schroon Lake scientists are beginning Phase 2 of the project.
Barker and Riddle have designed and built a 300-gallon, self-sustaining aquatic ecosystem.
Rainbow trout, which were raised in the classroom during Phase 1 of the trout project, now occupy the new tank. There will be plants grown hydroponically in two separate growth beds using the water from the trout tank. Additionally, three in-line fluidized bed filters serve as auxiliary filtering units.

Lindberg furnace expands capabilities at Rapid Manufacturing
KINGSTON, R.I. -- July 12, 2000 -- Reebok has donated a high-temperature
industrial furnace to the Rapid Manufacturing Center at the University of
Rhode Island to expand the Center's metals processing research capabilities.
Less than two years old, the Lindberg furnace is used in the process
of making molds for manufactured products. It can heat powdered metals up
to 1200 degrees Centigrade to burn away polymer binding agents and sinter
the metals together.
"To process metals at high temperatures, you need an inert gas around
the metals," explained Brent Stucker, assistant professor of industrial
and manufacturing engineering and director of the Center. "This furnace
has the safety features necessary to allow us to use hydrogen in the process,
which will contribute significantly to our research."
According to Stucker, the furnace will also increase the Center's production
capacity, "since there are many times in our research that our other
furnaces are full."
In addition to donating the Lindberg furnace, Reebok made a contribution
to URI toward the cost of moving the furnace and installing it in the Rapid
Manufacturing Center.
"This piece of machinery was the first in the footwear industry
and contributed to the cutting edge of technology," said Paul Bates,
director of the Advance Process and Engineering group for Reebok. "Reebok
is delighted to be able to provide state-of-the-art technology to the University
of Rhode Island to enhance the engineering students' experience."
"We are pleased that Reebok has recognized URI's leadership in manufacturing
research and donated the Lindberg furnace to our Rapid Manufacturing Center,"
said Thomas Kim, dean of the URI College of Engineering. "It will provide
our students with additional exposure to unique technologies and broaden
our faculty's ability to develop new manufacturing processes."
The URI Rapid Manufacturing Center was established in 1998 to perform
research aimed at decreasing the time required to go from product design
to manufacture, and to transfer to industry the resultant knowledge and
Reebok International Ltd., headquartered in Canton, Mass., is a leading
worldwide designer, marketer and distributor of sports, fitness and casual
footwear, apparel and equipment. Principal operating units include the Reebok
Division, the Rockport Company, Greg Norman and Ralph Lauren/Polo Sport/Footwear.
Sales for 1999 totaled approximately $2.9 billion.

All these legal changes will happen, just as abolishing slavery was always going to happen. Just as women will one day have equal rights in Asia and the Middle East (although that will take much longer). It's just a matter of getting past the inertia of tradition.
That's a sticky slope argument - "This case that I support is just like the cause of [fill in name of some great, well-known human movement for freedom and equality from any time and place]." Your cause is just like the struggle against slavery, so how could any right-minded person think differently, right?
I could argue the slippery slope, that your case is really like [fill in the name of some well-known human-caused disaster, injustice, or failed policy] but I won't because analogy is a very weak form of reasoning. From your statement, it isn't too hard to extrapolate that those who oppose cannabis legalization are in the same camp as those who support slavery and oppose women's rights in the Middle East, a "wrong side of history" theme.

Finally Home: Robert Merrill Rich
"You have made known to me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasure of living with you forever." Ps. 16:11.
DeBARY, Fla. — Bob Rich, DeBary, Florida, celebrated a glorious union with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 5, 2012.
Bob was first a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, and also a loving and devoted servant to his wife, his family and the church.
Born in Normal, Illinois, August 1, 1922, son of Merrill J. and Ruth Rich, he grew up in Saunemin, Illinois, attended the University of Illinois, married Kay Lewis, and piloted a B-17, 92 Bomb Group, 407th Squadron, 8th Air Force, flying 35 missions in WWII.
After settling in as a husband, father and farmer, he surrendered to God's call, returned to Aviation — first as a student and then as a teacher at Moody Bible Institute. He spent 33 years preparing young men and women to serve as missionary pilots and mechanics throughout the world.
Bob was a talented photographer and artist, leaving many treasures that adorn the walls of family homes.
Bob was a voracious student of the Bible, and passed that legacy to his family. "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth." 3rd John 4.
Bob was preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Kay; and by brother, Arnold (Eunice) Rich.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Charlotte (Hardt); brothers John 'Bud' (Nancy) Rich, Pontiac, IL, Bill Rich and sister, Ann (Bob) Gaston, of Saunemin, IL; children, Rod (Nan) Rich, Wood Dale, IL, LaVonne (Rich) Eckman and Andy (Donna) Rich of DeBary, FL; grandchildren Rod (Sylvia) Eckman (Nicholas, Tyler, Lexi); Dave (Amy) Eckman (Tessa, Alyssa); Chad (Taunya) Eckman (Abby, Ethan); Rob Rich; Amy (Brian) Reich (Arwyn, Lydia); Danny, Beki and Timmy Rich.
The family is thankful to many dear friends for their prayer and loving support, but most of all, grateful to God for His provision of a Savior and the promise of eternal life to all who accept His gift.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial gifts be sent to Moody Bible Institute, 820 N. LaSalle, Chicago, IL 60610.

Kansas City Southern Railway's intermodal traffic increased 8 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2014, despite congestion from other U.S. railroads and cross-border diversions that cost it some volume.
Ferromex is the largest railroad in Mexico, with 597 locomotives, more than 14,000 railcars, and over 5,000 miles of track. The company provides general railroad freight and intermodal services, and other auxiliary services that include passenger transport, intra-terminal pulling, and automotive terminal services, among others. The railroad connects five points on the border with the U.S., four seaports on the Pacific Ocean, and two more on the Gulf of Mexico.
The Mexico City, Mexico-based railroad began operation in 1998 following the privatization of most government-owned railroads in Mexico. Grupo Mexico owns 74 percent and Union Pacific Corporation owns 26 percent of the company.
