The Meta Report #10
Team DKMR: Twitter | Website
Sponsored by: Hearthstat.net
Last week all we saw was Aggro, just when we thought it was safe to log on and hit play…BAM! Control decks have returned; we are seeing just as many Control as we are seeing Aggro decks. Maybe it was an answer to the swarming onslaught that dominated the scene for a while, maybe it's due to some new tech that people found or maybe everyone simply got tired of playing the same archetype over and over, who knows? Team DKMR is here to guide you on what seems to be yet another meta shift.
Here's Team DKMR's weekly meta ranking. Keep in mind, it's about which classes and archetypes are played the most, not about which are the strongest. Most of the times, the strongest decks will also be the most frequently played, but that's part of how the meta works.
Warlock refuses to relinquish his crown, every week he is put to the test and prevails! He is still doing what he does best…drawing a bunch of cards. It's Control (handlock) and Aggro (zoo/rush) archetypes are pretty even out in the ladder right now which makes it that much harder to mulligan against a Warlock. Even without any notable innovations, Gul'dan will remain as the King of the meta for a while, but some Druid and Shaman decks are doing quite a good job at countering him. While handlock is increasing in popularity and mirror matches are becoming more frequent, some have even decided to run Sacrificial Pact in their deck, which can one shot Jaraxxus or worst case scenario, serve as a removal for minions like Flame Imp and Voidwalker.
Warrior is ready to fight against pretty much anything at the moment, with lots of favorable matchups to account for. Warrior has some of the best removal spells in the game, Warrior Control can dominate against other Control decks through stronger finishers, value removals and an obscene amount of armor. In fact, they have so much armor that if the opponent is unable to maintain constant pressure, the Warrior will almost always win simply because they won't have enough damage to bring him to 0. Aggro decks can be more of an issue, but most scenarios it's still quite a favorable match for the Warrior. Its Aggro archetype, seems to have disappeared from the ladder, but it could be waiting for the right moment to make a comeback.
Hunter hasn't shown any signs of stopping his personal "beastkrieg". That said, some Hunters are starting to use Freezing Traps instead of Misdirection in their Aggro decks which are slower, but can make for some devastating tempo swings on their own. When coupled with Eaglehorn Bow, they also mean to bring the HURT with 3 more damage right to thier opponent's face. Cards like Elven Archer and Stonetusk Boar are being played as well, since they're okay as a turn 1 drop (which the deck can almost NEVER afford to miss) and have their own utility later in the game. This is especially apparent if you're running Hunter's Mark, which is also very strong against all the taunts you'll face; Druids are one of Hunter's worst matchups. Midrange Hunters are still nowhere to be found, but we think they have potential to become one of the strongest decks in the current meta.
Shaman is seeing a lot more play at the moment, probably as an answer to all those Aggro Warlocks we have been seeing. To help on their Hunter matchup, some have decided to use Ancient Watcher coupled with Sunfury Protector and Defender of Argus, a plan that other control decks rely on when it comes to fighting aggression. So far it seems to be working pretty well, but we've yet to see how this will affect Shaman's matchup against other Control decks. Others chose a different path to deal with the Hunter Aggro and focused on cards like Wild Pyromancer, which has amazing synergy with all of the Shaman's premium removals (1 mana Lightning Bolt + Pyro = Swipe). This variation is VERY strong against Zoolock, Murlock and Standard Rogue, but it's quite difficult to use due to the fact that a misplayed Pyromancer can kill almost all of your totems. We still think there's more room for innovation with this class.
Druid has been removed from his throne and now fallen out of the top 3, but he's definitely planning a comeback. Despite not being played as often, it's still one of the strongest classes around (if not the strongest). Watcher Druid is the most popular archetype and they're going back into using Ancient of War and even new minions like Sunwalker. They're also using a lot more cards like Mark of the Wild (partly due to its synergy with The Black Knight) and even Wild Growth, which is pretty strong later in the game if you play Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Token Druid has lost some flavor, but we're also seeing some innovation here, through cards like Onyxia, that when coupled with Savage Roar, can win the game on its own. One of the best classes to play against Aggro decks, but has some flaws against other popular Control decks like Handlock and Warrior Control.
Rogue is seeing slightly less play than a few weeks ago, but we still think it's in a good spot at the moment. Miracle Rogue might be its strongest archetype at the moment, especially after Rogues everywhere discovered the power of Deadly Poison + Assassin's Blade combo. This combo helps a lot especially against Warrior Control, one of its tougher matchups. However, we believe that the recent rise of Harrison Jones might become a problem later on for Rogues everywhere, as they give everyone else another reason to play the crazy Archeologist. Standard Rogue is pretty decent against other Aggro decks, especially Zoolock, but the matchup against other popular Control decks, like Warrior Control and Handlock, can be a bit tougher if you can't apply enough pressure at the beginning of the game.
Priest owns the spot at the top3 least seen classes on the ladder, due to the overall inconsistency of its build-up strategies. Sure, you can get to Top 5 legendary with Priests, it was done before, but in an aggro based meta, it's going to be much harder. Some Priests are experimenting with very basic mid-range builds, using Chillwind Yeti and Sen'jin Shieldmasta along with Shattered Sun Cleric and Injured Blademaster to maintain tempo at the beginning of the game. They use Priest's hero power to come even further ahead in trades. It's an interesting idea, but we're still not certain if this is a viable option. Shadowform is also being used in some heavy taunt builds, which can be interesting against some Aggro decks, like Hunter. For now we still believe Priest in it's Control form is the strongest and should be only used in Tournaments.
Mage is nowhere to be found in the current ranked ladder, save for some Tempo Mid-range builds. Some are running secrets, while otheres are trying their best to counter aggro decks, we are even seeing cards like Arcane Explosion being used. Just when you thought it was safe to play against Mage, a few players are using Frost Giants or similar control-heavy builds. Nothing new from these builds, but they could have their own place in ranked right now, due to the Mage's vast arsenal of potent removals. Remember, most board control Aggro decks do not run any silence, so Mages are free to use the turn 5 Frost Nova + Doomsayer combo. The fact that Pyroblast is now a 10 mana spell forces most Control Mages to run Archmage Antonidas as one of their finishers.
Paladin still hasn't achieved impressive results on the ladder and should not be played. Most Paladins are either playing Giants Control or Aggro with Divine Favor. The first archetype can be very strong against other Control decks, especially against Handlock, but it just doesn't have enough to defend itself against Aggro decks or even against Shaman or Warrior Control. Overall, there are way too many bad matchups to consider for it. Aggro Paladin however, can race most Control and even some aggressive decks, provided you can obtain the Divine Favor you'll need as it runs out of gas.
Deck of the Week: Priest Control
This deck shines against other control decks, such as Druid or Handlock and can be effective against some Aggro decks, provided that you mulligan aggressively to either Wild Pyromancer or Circle of Healing + Auchenai Soulpriest. Crazed Alchemist allows for some very interesting plays along with Cabal Shadow Priest and both Shadow Words on the Priest's arsenal. A very effective Priest deck, that proves that the class is still very capable of dealing with other top-notch decks. This should be played in Tournaments and not in the ladder.

Nursing Program Overview
The WVC Nursing program offers career ladder options:
Nursing is a continually evolving health profession practiced in a changing society. The nurse of the 21st century will provide care for a culturally diverse population within a community-based health care delivery system. Professional nurses must keep abreast of technological advances while demonstrating the value of human caring. Nurses also have an important role in encouraging and instructing individuals to choose behaviors that promote health. The RN is a vital leader on the health care delivery team.
The WVC Nursing program has limited enrollment on the Wenatchee and Omak campuses and is subject to special admission requirements and procedures for both the first and second year, in addition to the prerequisites. Since the Nursing program requires intensive study, students must meet complete all general requirements and prerequisites before applying to the program. Students should expect to carry a heavy class schedule unless they have previously completed some of the required general education courses.
Hands-on clinical work in a variety of health care settings in the community provides invaluable experience, offering opportunities for critical thinking and effective decision-making by the student nurse. Clinical students will be assigned day and evening shifts, and may have out-of-town travel. Second-year students may have to work some evening shifts or Saturdays. All students when given out-of-town assignments (for short periods of time) are responsible for their own living and travel expenses.
The WVC Nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), with a status of Continuing Accreditation. Contact the Commission at: 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326, 409.975.5000.
A negative drug test is required to enter the WVC Nursing program. Students that fail the drug test will not be eligible to attend clinicals and therefore will be unable to complete the Nursing program.
CompetenciesThe Associate Degree Nursing Program prepares students who are highly educated, technically advanced, competent and caring individuals to practice professional nursing in a variety of settings. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the examination for licensure as a registered nurse (NCLEX-RN).
Graduates of the WVC Nursing Program will be able to:
Level 1 Outcome(LPN Certificate)
Level 2 Outcome (RN Associate Degree)
Patient Centered Care

Megan Sweets
Exhibition February 3-April 3, 2013
Whirling winds, black soil, rolling plains, and crystal clear water enveloped Megan throughout her life on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in southeastern South Dakota. Megan was constantly awed by the beauty and intricacy of nature surrounding her and was amazed at its ability to relieve the stress of life. Often encountering the complexity of reservation life, Megan submerged herself in the tranquil world of uncorrupted nature.
As she grew older, Megan felt an urge to become closer to the serenity provided by nature and make it a daily part of her life. Upon attempting handmade pottery, she
experienced a sense of closeness to nature on a much deeper level. Molding the earth between her hands, replicating the peacefulness she felt all her life, she was compelled to perfect her abilities and continue her work. Hundreds of years ago, Megan's ancestors created pottery using a basic process to form Earth's natural resources into usable products. Performing this process in the same manner as her predecessors is a continually liberating achievement for Megan.
Megan prefers to use a fire pit to finish her pieces, letting the flame take control and adorn the work as it pleases. In pit firing there is not the control of painting and glazing but rather ingredients are added and nature takes over. This helped Megan realize that, as humans, we are not in complete control. Megan believes
that using the fire pit allows nature to create effortless and intricate beauty unparalleled by any human hand.
Megan wants to make a positive difference in her community. She seeks to bring nature's peace to people's lives through her art. She will never forget her ancestors, where she comes from, nor the beauty of both that is imprinted in her mind. She relentlessly strives to recreate the magnificence that nature produces so effortlessly.
"My ancestors solved, with great achievement, the mystery of curing pottery to a permanent state countless years ago. The fire pit employed nature's gifts in a productive way. I too elect to let nature take over curing and decorating my pots with natural substances in a fire pit."
Prices of pottery for sale can be obtained by contacting The Journey Museum Store at (605) 394-2201. After the exhibit closes, please contact Megan Sweets by mail at P.O. Box 91531, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57109; by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; or through her website, earthforgedbyfire.com

NCCU dean, English professor dies
The N.C. Central University community is mourning the death of retired dean and English professor Cecil L. Patterson, who died Tuesday at age 96.
The university sent an announcement to the campus expressing sadness about the passing of Patterson. He joined the NCCU faculty in 1950 as an assistant professor in the Department of English, later becoming an associate professor and full professor. He also served as director of the honors program, dean of the Undergraduate School from 1968 to 1978 and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs from 1978 to 1986. Patterson retired in 1986 and was named professor emeritus. He was the recipient of an honorary doctor of humanities degree from NCCU in 1988. Patterson earned his master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
He was also an Army veteran, serving in the Corps of Engineers during World War II in the South Pacific. After the war, he served in the U.S. Army Reserves until retiring as a colonel in 1973. He was the first African-American officer to be assigned to commandant of a U.S. Army Reserve School, commanding the 3286 USAR in Raleigh.
Patterson lived in the neighborhood surrounding NCCU and was frequently seen on walks. He was active in his church, St. Titus' Episcopal Church, along with his wife, Vivian Patterson, who retired as vice president and trust officer at Mechanics and Farmers Bank. She participated in St. Titus' service honoring Pauli Murray on Monday. Cecil Patterson had served as warden, treasurer and in the vestry.
His family will receive friends from 6 to 9 p.m. July 14 at St. Titus' Episcopal Church, 400 Moline St. in Durham. The memorial service will be held July 15, location to be determined.

Wildmind Meditation News
Sep 25, 2014
The mindfulness boom and its modern misconceptions
Worldcrunch: Invented by Buddhist monks, secularized and developed by Western science, mindfulness seems to be everywhere. But the aim is to make the most of life, not to seek nirvana.
In 1979, a stressed-out molecular biologist took a Buddhist meditation technique, removed its mysticism, and transplanted it to an American university hospital. This is how mindfulness was born, in the University of Massachusetts Boston, instigated by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn.
The discipline then made its way into the medical world, where — according to scientific studies — it proved to be particularly effective to prevent depression relapses and to handle anxiety disorders. Incubation, blooming, booming. …

Method to sharpen focus and open minds
Alina Tugend, The New York Times: Like most people, I have my share of tension and anxiety. And I'm happy to find ways to cope that don't involve illegal drugs. So when the term mindfulness began cropping up everywhere, I became intrigued.
Elementary school students practice it. Doctors practice it — and their patients. Prisoners practice it. There's mindful eating that promises a healthier way of eating. And scans show mindfulness may change the way our brains function and help us improve attention, reduce stress hormones and even bounce back faster from negative information.
But, skeptic that I am, I wondered if…

Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
I would like some advice on an electronic drum kit to buy. Living in an apartment, not being able to play my acoustic kit kills me. But I also work at Walmart (hooray) so I can't afford a lot. I've been looking at kits priced around $350 like the Alesis DM6. I hear it has problems with double bass pedals. So I have a few questions:
What would be a good kit for this price?
How modular are electronic kits? Like can I just buy random stuff and add it on?
How can I connect it to my PC?
Would I be able to plug it into my stereo via auxiliary input?
Really any advice is welcome, I'm a complete noob when it comes to electronic kits.
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
About adding on... good luck with that. I dont think my Simmons kit had any additional inputs for additional pads. And with most of the Roland Kits, they use a proprietary plug and allow one additional pad (cymbal usually) to be added. My Yamaha 535K allows me to add up to 4 single zone pads, so that's exactly what I've done, but most normally priced units dont allow that much expansion.
Some have USB and some dont. You'll have to look at that yourself to see if it's worth the extra money.
Plugging into your stereo, probably, but not sure how it would sound.
See my PDP Concept Maple at http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/s...d.php?t=117040
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
Electronic drums reinforce the old adage:
"you get what you pay for"
like nothing else.
A cheap kit will feel and sound cheap. There's is no getting round this. I would encourage you to look for used kits.
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
I agree with the above, look out for a used Yamaha DTX-press (I have one for practise) or Roland TD-6; with some searching you should pick one up for your budget.
Drinking rum before 10am makes you a PIRATE, not an alcoholic...........
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
Defender, I'm happy you had good luck with you Simmons kit. A lot of people on this forum have complained about parts breaking in less than a year. I'm sure your Yamaha sounds better, too.
And Lanlan, I haven't played one, but I've seen several comments stating that the Alesis pads are the noisiest ones on the market and defeat the purpose of buying an e-kit for use in an apartment. I've also heard the same complaint about Alesis as Simmons: parts breaking very quickly. I think the suggestions to look for a used DTX-press or TD-6 are right on the money. Use the search function to look up those models and you'll find that they are considered to be good quality, basic kits which forum members use in their apartments.
Edit: Actually, you don't need to use the search function, gaz farrimond just stated that he uses the DTX-press for practice. I can tell you that other members here use the same kit, and I can't remember anyone not liking it.

Don't know about PC...Are you trying to connect the pads to the PC to use a drumming software instead of the module?
I'm sure you can plug it in through the AUX input. You can convert the headphone out to a stereo at worse.
Excuse my post look. 90% chance I'm typing on a phone. My focus is the message not grammar.
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
If I may suggest something else: if you just want to be able to play, how about getting some mesh heads for your existing kit and playing that? A set of mesh heads won't cost more than $100 and you'd be playing your drums, albeit silently so you're not bothering anyone.
You could get the neoprene pads for your cymbals and you'd have an almost silent practice kit made from the drums and cymbals you're used to playing. Yes, it will take some imagination on your part to imagine what the drums would really be sounding like, but it's just for practicing so your chops are always ready.
I've played electronics (and continue to play a Zendrum Z4 whenever it's permitted) and I'll never understand how anyone can think this is a substitute for an acoustic set of drums. It isn't - it's another instrument, but worse: it's like a computer that you'll eventually have to upgrade. Acoustic drums need no upgrades - the upgrades come from the player.
I had a little Sonor Safari kit that I put mesh heads on and set it up in a corner of one of my rooms and you know, I played that thing everyday for an hour, and the cool thing was that it didn't matter what hour. Although mesh heads don't feel like regular plastic heads, it's the closest thing to the real thing if you're talking about keeping up your technique without disturbing everyone around you. Check it out.
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
I'm torn on this one, I had a simmons sd7k, for about a year: the pros, being able to play at 2 am, and being able to adjust the volume of the song I was playing to perfectly in my wireless headphones, and I love the (voice) metronome, for some reason I really liked hearing the guy say "1 2 3 4 " over " boing..tic...tic....tic boig" BUT, I hated how the high-hat was almost backards of a real one, like you had to lift your foot, to get a closed hihat sound, and the sound of the stick hitting those plastic cymbals...../shivers.
Re: Good Electronic Kit for Relatively Cheap
Generally, you connect to anything via 1/8" stereo jacks.
All my gear was purchased used from Craigslist. I recommend Roland. I started with a used TD6 kit for $300
I will trade off some dynamics in order to get a good consistent band mix.

The leech that saved the day! [1]
Who says invertebrates can't be heroic?
Who says invertebrates can't be heroic?
by Sophie Elmhirst [2] Published
Not me! I say invertebrates CAN be brave, as this story [3] shows (sent in by my Greek correspondent -- thank you to The Greek).
I mean, this leech is a hero! Little did it know in its little leechy life that it would actually solve a crime, put a criminal away, rescue a poor old man, help the police, and generally be held up as the saviour of criminal justice.
I'm getting carried away, but I'm a sucker for animal heroics. I think it's the unwitting nature of it -- they have no idea what they're doing, but quietly, modestly, they're just carrying out daily acts of astonishing bravery and brilliance.
Here's to the unsung leeches of the world.

Kingfisher Airlines will not be able to resume operations for at least six months, after it was excluded from India's 2012 winter schedule for domestic carriers.
The airline, whose air operator's certificate (AOC) was suspended by Indian regulators on 20 October, was given 2,930 weekly flights in the 2011 winter schedule.
But India's directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA), which is responsible for issuing the schedule, did not allocate any slots to the airline this time round.
The DGCA did not give any reasons for Kingfisher's exclusion, but the move means that Kingfisher will not be able to resume any services until the Indian summer schedule is released in six months' time.
Kingfisher grounded its fleet and suspended operations on 1 October after several employees, some of whom were said to have not been paid for months, went on strike. The DGCA suspended its AOC on 20 October after it failed to adequately respond to a show cause notice, which required the carrier to prove that it will be able to resume operations safely.
Indian airlines have been allocated a total of 10,935 weekly services during the winter schedule, down from 13,541 last year.
The three low-cost carriers' allocations were raised from the previous year. IndiGo will operate 2,447 weekly flights, an increase from 1,879 last year. SpiceJet will operate 2,233 flights, a rise from 2,051 and GoAir will have 675 flights, an increase from 588.
These frequency increases resulted from these carriers raising capacity on their flights, says the DGCA.
Flag carrier Air India will have 1,850 weekly services, a decrease from 1,875 in 2011. Its subsidiary, Alliance Air, will operate 319 weekly flights, a drop from 438 last year.
Jet Airways will have 2,515 weekly flights, a fall from last year's 2,905. Its subsidiary JetLite will operate 854 weekly flights, down from 875, adds the DGCA.

Ashton Esquire Maduro Cigarillos are rare because of their hand selected and extremely limited Connecticut broad leaf maduro wrapper. Many a wrapper leaf are picked, but few are chosen by Carlos Fuente Jr. for Ashton Aged Maduro cigarillos.
The initial sweet taste comes from the wrapper, but once lit, the cigarillo becomes rich and nutty much like a great Madeira or Tawny Port. The Ashton Aged Maduro cigarillos rich distinct flavor comes from the never hurried natural fermentation of the wrapper, which encourages its natural sweetness. The wrapper and aged filler creates a rich and complex flavor elevating the Ashton Aged Maduro cigarillo to a class all its own.
Strength: Mild to Medium
Wrapper: Maduro
Origin: Dominican Republic

Before I say anything else, I should point out that I don't see or treat you any different than anyone else. I don't judge you because of your sexual orientation. That being said, I want to address a couple of things in your post that I take issue with.
First, you reference the golden rule, which is highly ironic. The golden rule was introduced to us by Jesus himself in Matthew 7:12, so we should be careful to interpret the concept in light of who authored it. To do that, we have to look at how Jesus spoke with people who were living contrary to God's moral law. When that happened, Jesus' words were "go and sin no more." You will never find an example of Jesus approving of the violation of God's law. He is gracious, kind, and loving, but not condoning. So, when he says we should treat others the way we want to be treated, we must conclude that does not mean approving of things God defines as immoral.
Second, this is not for us an issue of being closed-minded or denying rights to other people. It's an issue of where we get our beliefs and values. As a Christian, my values come from the Bible. They don't change with time or popular opinion. It's not that I'm stubbornly holding onto some sort of bias that my parents had, it's that I can't tell God that I don't like His rules and He needs to change them.
Third, homosexuality is not really a unique sin. For the record, I believe any type of sexual activity (including porn) outside of Biblical marriage is a sin. Yet, I have friends who are having sex with their girlfriends. They know I believe it's a sin, but they don't freak out and call me "hateful" or "close-minded" over it. Why should you?
Finally, the issue of homosexual marriage itself is a no-brainer. There's a reason many weddings are performed in a church. It has been, since the first records we have of it, a religious institution. Therefore, it makes sense that the religion who created the institution should be able to define it. Trying to change the whole institution for personal benefit would be like bringing a baseball bat to a football game and demanding you be allowed to hit. You can't change the whole game to match your tastes. It's just not right.
The biggest lie in this whole debate is that gays and lesbians are being denied the same right to marry that straight people have. Actually, that's not true. As a straight man, I have a right to marry a woman. Gay men also have the right to marry women. The fact that they choose not to doesn't mean they are being discriminated against.
The other lie seems to be that this whole thing is an issue of enlightenment. Old "dinosaurs" who don't support gay marriage are compared to racists. One day, we as a society will be better informed and only a few "bigots" will remain. Right? Wrong. Our modern culture is not the first to legitimize homosexuality. This argument that we're "moving forward" is a lie. We're really just moving in circles as we repeat moral values that were previous accepted. So, let's not pretend that those supporting gay marriage are somehow more enlightened than those who don't.
Finally, enough with the intolerance already. EVERYONE wants what they believe to be law. You can't call someone a "bigot" or "hateful" for wanting to live in a society that matches their moral values. Do you not see how it's both hateful and bigoted to attack morally conservative people for their views? There's a case in court right now of conservative photographers in legal trouble because they felt uncomfortable photographing a lesbian wedding. Think about that for a second. What kind of a person would seek to force someone to do something immoral to them? The answer is only a person that is completely intolerant of any viewpoint other than their own. So, let's put an end to the hypocrisy and start talking about this whole thing with a lot more civility.
It would help if you took responsibility for YOUR actions. Forget for one second about the driver and the other passengers. What did YOU do to escalate the situation? We may not have all the facts, but all the people who do (expect you) believe that you have some responsibility in this.
Having not been there, this is pure speculation, but I'm betting you were hostile with the bus driver the moment he questioned your transfers. I would be shocked if you stood there respectfully when he told you that the transfers weren't valid. I doubt you asked him to explain the situation or politely tried to explain how you got them. I'll bet you were rude with him the moment you sensed a problem. Having worked in customer service for years, I wouldn't have put up with that for a second. Too many people have figured out that they will get their way if they throw a fit. The way this whole thing reads, you threw a fit, didn't get your way, and then threw an even bigger fit as a result.
Arguably the worst post in Oregonlive history. The NHL MIGHT be three times the experience, but it's about four times the cost. I love going to NHL games, but I can't afford to go very often. It cost me $85 for nose bleeds in San Jose, $70 for seats in Chicago, and $80 for DC. Those are REGULAR SEASON prices.
Are you out of your mind? Using a cell phone while driving is comparable to drinking and driving? In what fantasy land? Some study run by someone who doesn't like cell phones? Did the study also conclude that cell phones cause brain cancer?
Let's keep in mind that cell phones have legitimate purposes and many people's jobs rely on the ability to communicate. Given the amount of time many of us have to spend on the road, it's not practical to ban all forms of communication in that time. That's completely different from being intoxicated, which is not connected to one's ability to work.
Your article, from the start, is a logical fallacy. You start with a singular example of a bad driver who was talking on her cell phone and driving, then conclude that all cell phone use should be ban, as if that one lady represented all cell phone users. The fact is, many people use cell phones and you don't even notice because their driving is perfectly normal. Personally, I use my cell phone semi-regularly. While I've had many close calls in my 10 years of driving, not one of them has come at a time when I've been doing something with my phone. I almost got in a wreck once with distracted driving because I dropped the Gatorade I was drinking on my way to work. When I reached down to pick it up, I took my eyes off the road for a second or two. When I looked back up, traffic was stopped. I slammed on my brakes and barely avoided the collision. It was Gatorade, not a cell phone, that distracted me and almost caused me to get in a wreck. Should we then ban all Gatorade?
The solution to all of this is simple. If people are driving poorly and it's evident that this is due to ANY distraction, they should be ticketed. There are already laws on the books to deal with that. No doubt, the woman you saw in the parking lot could have been pulled over and ticket had a police officer observed her behavior. This is a fair solution that benefits everyone without restricting the freedoms of people who do not present a danger to you.
Cell phones are really good for long cross-country solo drives. I've had to drive 2000+ miles solo on several occasions (without the ability to stop for the night). One of the ways that I was able to stay alert would be to occasionally call up family members (yes, using bluetooth) and chat with them for a few minutes. That would keep me a lot more awake/alert than just staring at the road for hours.
Before someone says "if you're that tired, you should pull over and sleep," you have to realize that isn't an option every couple of hours. If you have a 40 hour drive and you pull over to sleep constantly, it can take days to get there. So, you do things to make sure your brain is sharp and you aren't getting lulled to sleep. Talking to someone is a great way to do that, whether they are there in the car or not.
So maybe the solution is to make it completely illegal to talk to ANYONE while driving, phone or otherwise. That would completely eliminate the problem. Furthermore, we can't trust people not to talk to their passengers (especially kids), so why don't we just make a rule that no one can drive with passengers? Let's also make it illegal to eat or drink anything while driving, change the radio station, or anything else other than both hands on the wheel and the mouth completely closed.
Or....we could stop treating people like kids. If people want to text, talk, or whatever, that's fine.....but, the moment their driving suffers, they get ticketed for it. That sounds fair, doesn't it? I guess that would sort of end the anti-cell phone crusade, and that would be no fun at all.
This article is completely absurd. Instead of criminalizing everyone who uses a cell phone while driving, how about just criminalizing the people who let it affect their driving? Just because you can't handle doing two things at once doesn't mean other people can't either. Also, the idea that talking on a bluetooth device is more dangerous than talking to a passenger is simply wishful thinking of those who dislike cell phones.
Look, I'm all for pulling people over and writing tickets when they are do something that's distracting them and their driving has suffered for it. That makes sense to me. But, banning all cell phones is massive overkill with a lot of innocent casualties. Police should NOT be able to pull over or ticket someone who is driving safely, but with a cell phone in hand. That's absolutely ridiculous and people need to think more clearly before they advocate such ridiculous laws.
You obviously don't have any idea why fighting is part of hockey. It has nothing to do with entertainment. See my other post for more education on this topic.
Hey gold, you really wanna blame the whole game on Carruth? I agree he was terrible, but so was most of the team. The defense was completely lackluster again. The Winterhawks have enjoyed so much success offensively that I don't think they fully appreciate the dangers of giving up goals. They need to get back to a hard-hitting game in their own zone and start taking away those quality chances. The hope is that Carruth will step up when his defense does. I agree he should have been better, but there's no way this whole thing was his fault.
I was just watching the game on NBC and a fight broke out. According to the NHL crew, there was a survey about fighting given to 200 NHL players. 1 of the 200 said fighting should be banned, the other 199 said fighting should be allowed. Fighting in hockey is here to stay!
Probably one of the most ignorant opinions I've ever read about the sport of hockey. Please take your sensitivities elsewhere. You are lacking a basic understanding of several facts:
1) All change is not progress. Just because the Europeans and Olympics have adopted a weaker style of hockey doesn't mean we have to follow suit. That's like saying...nevermind, I'll get the politics out of it.
2) Most concussions and injuries in general (in hockey) come from something other than a fight. Ty Rattie was injured in game 4 on a check from behind. Chevelde was injured in a collision with Oliver Gabriel in game 1. I could go on and on about all the injuries I've witnessed in a hockey game and none of them came from fights. Yes, there have been a couple of isolated incidents, but those are the exception and not the rule.
3) Hockey fights, especially in modern hockey, do not cause serious brain trauma. In the old days, the players stood toe-to-toe and slugged it out. Both would usually land several good punches. There was no defense, just offense. Today, hockey fights are generally much more defensive. I would say the majority of fights end with neither player having made solid contact with any of their punches. It's really rare that either player bleeds. So, this whole thing about brain injuries is pure nonsense.
4) Fighting in hockey is actually well known to reduce injuries, because players police themselves better than the officials/league does. As an example, one of the San Jose Sharks players was taking liberties against Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks. Toews is a skill player (one of the best) and his teammates should have stood up for him, but didn't. The referees were also letting it go and the San Jose player eventually succeeded in giving Toews a concussion and causing him to miss the remainder of the regular season. I don't believe the offending player was suspended either. If the Blackhawks had an enforcer who did his job, a fight would have occurred prior to Toews being injured and he wouldn't have missed 2 months of hockey.
5) Fighting has been a part of hockey in North America for a long time. It's PART of the sport. Most fans don't go to games just for the fights. In fact, I love playoff hockey way more than regular season, even though fighting is extremely rare in the playoffs. However, I still understand that fighting is part of the sport. It always has been and it needs to stay that way. If you would rather watch something a little bit more like a knitting club, there's always figure skating.
Hopefully this post has educated you, so that you are able to speak intelligently to the issue next time it comes up.
It's amazing that the Winterhawks are that great of an experience, even in one of the worst losses of the season. Why they don't sell out every home game is a complete mystery to me, because they are the best entertainment value anywhere in sports.
Quite possibly the most hypocritical opinion piece I've ever read. The dictionary defines a bigot (which you call Santorum twice) as: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. Does that not describe how you are acting towards Rick Santorum? You use nothing short of total hatred in your writing towards him and you encourage drowning him out so that he cannot even share his opinion. All because he holds a different view of homosexuality? I'm not sure how you can justify labeling him as a bigot in light of your own writing.
This is the worst news article ever. As someone who has worked in a grocery store, it's equally frustrating to us when the computer system crashes. I've never seen the EBT system go down, but I've seen credit cards or debit cards stop working. No one ever accuses us of discriminating against credit card users.
This lady obviously has a chip on her shoulder. Safeway wants her money, no matter what source it comes from. The fact that system was down does not mean they were discriminating against her. It's absolutely shocking that someone who is spending others' money finds the right to speak out against the people who's money she is spending. I'm all for helping people, but it would sure make it easier if they would be a little bit grateful instead of having a mentality of entitlement.
This just might be the worst column I've ever read in my life. Obviously, the writer has an intense hatred for Palin. Very few things in journalism are as disgusting as a journalist attacking the character of someone with no cause. Just because you disagree with her politics doesn't mean she's trying to dupe people. She's very clear about her agenda and I think that's admirable. If you don't like her, then don't vote for her. Just don't make character assassinations just because you disagree.
I actually like this new forum design. The old one didn't work very well on my computer. This one is quite a bit easier to work with.
Two things:
1) I was the fan leading the singing of "TNT" after we scored. The people with me did not yell "GO HAWKS" during the National Anthem. That was about the only time we were quiet all game.
2) I didn't see a whole lot in the way of stuff being thrown. There was some, but I wouldn't label it a major incident.
Sounds like the incompetence lies in your office, not OSU's. The story was clearly timed to use the CWS and the criminal charges together to create a scandal. That is not fair to the Beavers and their fans. The story was old news, but you dug it out to get more mileage out of it. Now, you find yourself back-pedaling and making lame excuses. Please do yourself and all of Beaver Nation a favor and apologize so we can put this to rest. Aferall, no one likes incompetence.

Paulo Tonietto was clearly irritated by rumours that he had met Barca director Raul Sanllehi about a switch for the Brazil international defender to Camp Nou this summer.
"It is not true," he told RAC 1 radio station.
"I do not know if Raul is short, tall, fair, blond, brown-haired... I just do not know him. I do not know who Raul is, so it is just not true."
After weeks of seeing Thiago Silva linked to Barca in Spain and France, Tonietto is adamant that the clubs would hold initial discussions before speaking to him.
"If Barcelona were interested then they would have to speak to PSG, not to me," he added.
"It is very difficult to see it happening though because he has a contract with Paris and they do not want to sell.
"Nobody has talked to PSG and nobody is negotiating with them or with us."

Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-QThe pulled pork at Rudy's makes us drool like dogs under the dinner table. Heaped up between two slices of pillowy white bread and kissed with sauce, the beef and pork ribs are absolute hog heaven. Rudy's dining room takes "spartan" to a new level, but as the weather improves, so does our opinion of sitting out on their covered patio. Now serving breakfast tacos with your choice of Rudy's justifiably famous meats. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

The tailwinds are now behind the NBA's Kings remaining in Sacramento rather than moving to Seattle, based on Monday's vote by the owners' committee.
If the Kings do indeed get a new building in downtown Sacramento, billionaire Ron Burkle, who helped save the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, will have taught those with aspirations of being in both the team ownership and athlete representation businesses a case book study on how to play both games at the same time.
A year ago Burkle co-founded the sports agency Relativity Sports. Burkle didn't have to divest his stake in the Penguins because RS does not represent NHL players. RS does represent several NBA players. So Burkle, who was part of the group looking to buy the Kings from the Maloofs and invest in the new arena, dropped out.
But Burkle still plans on cashing in by developing the downtown area around the new arena. Nice. Burkle gets a sports agency, hockey team, and real estate trifecta–mostly funded with other people's money.
Jay-Z has also recently entered the athlete representation business. But the rapper has to sell his investments in both the Brooklyn Nets and the Barclays Barclays Center. No real estate play for Jay-Z. The profits from developing around the arena will go to billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov and Bruce Rattner.

BRIDGEPORT -- A 27-year-old man was arrested early Sunday after police sid he pointed a BB gun at two people during a birthday party.
Nelson Ruis, of 191 Newfield St., got into an altercation with a guest at a birthday party in a downstairs neighbor's apartment, police said. Ruis, who was allegedly intoxicated, was asked to leave the party, and did, but later returned with the gun in his waistband, witnesses told police.
Ruis pulled the gun out and pointed it at the party's host, who was celebrating her 20th birthday, and another guest, witnesses said.
When officers responded, they found Ruis in his second-floor apartment and took him into custody. After a search, the officers recovered the gun in Ruis' bedroom and later determined it was a BB gun.
Ruis was charged with threatening with a firearm and held on $1,000 bond.
