Read: Pressure Is Finally Being Applied To Get A Season Going
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that both the players and the owners are feeling pressure to get a deal done so that a season could start by December 1.
Brooks writes that the shortened season would likely be 62-66 games. On 12/1 last year the Rangers had already played 22 games.
THIS SECTION is all about a shortened schedule.
On progress towards getting a deal done, Pierre LeBrun wrote at ESPN.com "That's still too early to call. But they're talking for a third consecutive day. And both sides stayed mum to the media again on Wednesday night. I'll take that as a promising sign — but know that this could still unravel Thursday."
1:27PM: Kevin Paul Dupont tweets "Some agents, and some B- and C-list NHLers now making their frustration clear to NHLPA. Eager to play. Eager for pay."
Darren Dreger tweets "Few details, but players pushed hard yest…gave NHL much to consider on all issues. NHL's response today determines next step."

Hydrogen psychosis is a fictional ailment acquired by SCUBA divers in the Wes Anderson-directed movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. It is apparently based on the very real health risk nitrogen narcosis, caused by the effects of relatively fast, relatively great changes in external pressure on the human body.

42 U.S. Code § 502 - Payments to States; computation of amounts
(a) Certification of amounts
The Secretary of Labor shall from time to time certify to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment to each State which has an unemployment compensation law approved by the Secretary of Labor under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, such amounts as the Secretary of Labor determines to be necessary for the proper and efficient administration of such law during the fiscal year for which such payment is to be made, including 100 percent of so much of the reasonable expenditures of the State as are attributable to the costs of the implementation and operation of the immigration status verification system described in section 1320b–7 (d) of this title. The Secretary of Labor's determination shall be based on
(2) an estimate of the number of persons covered by the State law and of the cost of proper and efficient administration of such law; and
(3) such other factors as the Secretary of Labor finds relevant. The Secretary of Labor shall not certify for payment under this section in any fiscal year a total amount in excess of the amount appropriated therefor for such fiscal year.
(b) Payment of amounts
Out of the sums appropriated therefor, the Secretary of the Treasury shall, upon receiving a certification under subsection (a) of this section, pay, through the Fiscal Service of the Department of the Treasury and prior to audit or settlement by the Government Accountability Office, to the State agency charged with the administration of such law the amount so certified.
(c) Mailing costs
No portion of the cost of mailing a statement under section 6050B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to unemployment compensation) shall be treated as not being a cost for the proper and efficient administration of the State unemployment compensation law by reason of including with such statement information about the earned income credit provided by section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The preceding sentence shall not apply if the inclusion of such information increases the postage required to mail such statement.

TheraBreath Goes To Dodgers StadiumTuesday, August 18th, 2009
Dr. Katz and the rest of the staff at TheraBreath went as a group to the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals game at Dodger's Stadium on August 17th! As you can see in the picture above, the Dodgers gave TheraBreath a warm welcoming. Even though the Dodgers' loss disappointed their Los Angeles fans, it was still a very fun event with lots of free junk food. Hopefully everyone used their TheraBreath regimen afterwards so they didn't get bad breath!

Never Let Me Go: A Novelby Kazuo Ishiguro
Staff Pick
Set in a (barely?) alternate England in the late 1990s, Never Let Me Go is the sum of Kathy's memories. Kathy is one of many "donors" who have been brought into being for purposes that, while well-intended, can come to no good. Ishiguro's novel touches on the issues surrounding human cloning and identity and "what if." Then again, human clones are nothing new. Know any identical twins? They may be clones of one another, but that doesn't preclude them from having discrete selves. Never Let Me Go doesn't put science on trial; rather, it takes humans to task on the willful, too-prevalent misuse and misunderstanding of science to further parochial, sad ends.
Ishiguro's prose has never failed to dazzle me, and this novel is certainly no exception. With a near stillness, a quiet passivity, Ishiguro's narrator tells the story of her and her two friends' eerie predestined fate; a fate that echoes throughout novels such as The Handmaid's Tale and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. What is revealed here is an important, wistful meditation on life and society. His books are marvels astonishing works of art.
This is the kind of book that captures you so completely you find yourself reading it at work with the book covering your keyboard, hoping no one notices but also not really caring if you get fired. It's a subtle sci-fi story about youth, freedom, and a lot of other good stuff — too much more about the plot might take something away from the magical, transformative experience of reading it. Instead, I will say that the honest way Never Let Me Go deals with love and disappointment makes it a book that anyone who ever plans to love another person should probably read immediately.
"Never Let Me Go is a fantasy so mundanely told, so excruciatingly ordinary in transit, its fantastic elements so smothered in the loam of the banal and so deliberately grounded, that the effect is not just of fantasy made credible or lifelike, but of the real invading fantasy, bursting into its eccentricity and claiming it as normal. Given that Ishiguro's new novel is explicitly about cloning, that it is, in effect, a science fiction set in the present day, and that the odds against success in this mode are bullyingly stacked, his success in writing a novel that is at once speculative, experimental, and humanly moving is almost miraculous." James Wood, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
"The beauty in this novel must be carefully distinguished from its power to distress. Ultimately, there is a connection: the depth and quality of the relationships between Kath, Tommy and Ruth certainly accentuate the cruelty of their deaths. From under the shadow of their fate, Ishiguro draws warmly compelling vignettes of love and friendship that cumulatively establish an urgent and engrossing narrative pace." Ruth Scurr, Times Literary Supplement (read the entire Times Literary Supplement)
"Suffice it to say that Ishiguro serves up the saddest, most persuasive science fiction you'll read....With its fantastic, inky bleakness, Never Let Me Go itself mutates the meaning of 'Ishiguroish,' or 'Ishiguroesque,' or whatever epithet sticks to this wonderful writer." Joseph O'Neill, The Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.
"Perfect pacing and infinite subtlety.... A masterpiece of craftsmanship that offers an unparalleled emotional experience. Send a copy to the Swedish Academy." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Ishiguro's elegant prose and masterly ways with characterization make for a lovely tale of memory, self-understanding, and love." Library Journal (starred review)
"In this luminous offering, [Ishiguro] nimbly navigates the landscape of emotion — the inevitable link between present and past and the fine line between compassion and cruelty, pleasure and pain." Booklist
"A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish." Time
"A Gothic tour de force....A tight, deftly controlled story....Just as accomplished [as The Remains of the Day] and, in a very different way, just as melancholy and alarming." The New York Times
"Elegaic, deceptively lovely....As always, Ishiguro pulls you under." Newsweek
"Superbly unsettling, impeccably controlled....The book's irresistible power comes from Ishiguro's matchless ability to expose its dark heart in careful increments." Entertainment Weekly
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.
Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day
About the Author

Youth of Somali ethinicity armed with machettes and crude weapons... News PhotoConflict,Ethnicity,Horn of Africa,Kenya,Nairobi,Somali Civil War,Somalia,Suburb,Vertical,War,WeaponPhotographer TONY KARUMBACollection: AFP 2012 AFPYouth of Somali ethinicity armed with machettes and crude weapons fight on November 19, 2012 during inter-ethnic clashes in Nairobi's Eastleigh suburb. Clashes broke out a day after a bomb exploded in a minibus, blamed on sympathisers of Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents, killing seven people and leaving several wounded. A day after the blast, non-Somali Kenyans turned on Somalis and attacked their shops and stalls, accusing them of being responsible for the bomb. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast.

Recently, the Pure Mobile blog reported on an upcoming HTC/Verizon event slated for November 13 in New York city. When the invitations started rolling out, most (including us) assumed only one thing – HTC's latest smartphone, the Verizon-bound Droid DNA, would be making its first official appearance. Well, we all assumed correctly.
The event may only have wrapped up yesterday, but reviews are already in, and they're looking good. No, they're looking great, as major Tech sites start loading praise on the black and red device that may just reverse HTC's less than stellar fortunes of late.
"I may have (finally!) found my new Android Smartphone," wrote one BGR writer, while an article from Gizmodo described the new device as simultaneously "nuts" and "sick."
The Droid DNA is HTC's first flagship phone for Verizon in quite a while, but the company seems to have made up for lost time by putting out what Gizmodo calls "the most impressively spec-filled smartphone the world has yet known."
Speaking of specs, where do we start?
TechCrunch has called out the new smartphone's screen as its "biggest claim to fame." The 5" Gorilla Glass display is unique to the Droid DNA in North America – only the Japanese HTC Butterfly J has one like it. And with a resolution of 440 pixels-per-inch, the 1080p Super LCD3 screen certainly outpaces competitors like the iPhone 5.
Ok, so what's under the hood? The Droid DNA boasts 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a quad-core, 1.5Ghz Snapdragon Qualcomm processor, with 4G LTE sharing the same chip as the application processor. "Having one chip instead of two improves battery life," writes CNET.
But if your battery does run out of juice, the Droid DNA has wireless charging capabilities, though as TechCrunch notes, there aren't many details yet about accessories for that.
Powered by Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, the device is NFC- and LTE- capable, and comes with Beats Audio. And its 2.1 megapixel front-facing and 8 megapixel rear-facing cameras are up to standard as compared with other recent devices.
So, how much will HTC's best smartphone to date run you, and when will you eb able to get your paws on its super-sized screen? The Droid DNA is already available for pre-order, but it'll be heading to Verizon for November 21 at a price of $200 with a 2-year contract.

I actually have a screenshot I edited from Mortal Online. In the game, there's a building that can be built referred to as a "Mage Tower." Whenever my guild would come across one, though, we'd just call them Penis Tower, because it looks a lot like a penis. So, I took a screenshot of one while half-way up a mount and then put a semi-translucent image of a veiny penis over it.
I was thinking of posting it here, but I figured the mods would not enjoy it as much as I do. I keep it in an easy-to-find location on my photobucket just for threads like these.

BPS. A solid steel reputation for durability and dependability. Few firearms ever earn the level of respect the Browning BPS boasts. The BPS has a solid reputation for long-lasting durability and an uncanny ability to keep on working in spite of what Mother Nature does to stop it. This shouldn't come as a surprise because the BPS has what most other pump shotguns don't — features like rigid dual machined steel action bars, a forged and machined steel receiver, a convenient top-tang safety and bottom ejection for ambidextrous operation, and legendary Browning balance and handling. That's why the BPS continues to be the pump shotgun serious shotgunners like you can always rely on.

Look no further. Discover the real Australia in the Flinders Ranges and South Australian outback.
The land is a country of thick, gnarled gum trees, growing alongside stony creeks. There are ruins of farms left by pioneers, beaten back by the harsh landscape. The Flinders Ranges is a ancient and unique part of the world.
There's the incredible magnificence of Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre that will leave you speechless when you see it.
Aboriginal legend thousands of years old, tells of ancient Dreamtime serpents and giants shaping these lands.
Take a tour with an Aboriginal guide or drive yourself along the Aboriginal Dreaming Trail to find out more.
From the grey blues of dawn to the deep reds of dusk, the Flinders Ranges dramatically change colour as the sun bakes the land.
Classic Australian wildlife call the Flinders Ranges home. Brilliantly coloured parrots, yellow-footed rock wallabies, kangaroos and emus hide in the shade. Australia's largest bird of prey, the wedge-tailed eagle, reigns supreme on the thermal currents.
Find Australians living hundreds of kilometres from their nearest neighbour and loving it! Take note: if you bump into someone, they'll be keen for a chat.
The locals wait for the twice-weekly delivery of mail and goods from the outside world, brought by a postman and the few lucky tourists accompanying them.
Coober Pedy is where people live in underground houses and fossick for opals on a virtual moonscape. This is where you'll find the essence of Australia.
Legendary Australians and their stories have moved from the outback into folklore. Many originate on the rutted tracks and old stock routes that connect remote Australia. Like the Birdsville Track and it's remarkable horse race.
The Strzelecki Track which runs near Australia's famous dog fence.
It's twice the length of the Great Wall of China and keeps Australia's native dog (the dingo) away from our sheep.
Few sites anywhere are as spectacular as Lake Eyre in flood. This vast saltpan becomes a virtual inland sea attracting a "world" of birds. You'll never forget a flight over Lake Eyre.
You'll never forget the Flinders Ranges and outback of South Australia.
Explore the Flinders Ranges and Outback. Plan your holiday with the Flinders Ranges & Outback Visitor Guide. Find out more about accommodation, attractions, hiking, scenic flights, four wheel driving tours and more.
Flinders Ranges and Outback map will help you find your way around the sealed, unsealed and four wheel drive only roads.

Could be, I suppose. I would have done something more nefarious than swap a couple of wires in all that spaghetti. Maybe substitute a couple of lines of code in one or two of the computers, but mechanical subterfuge? Too easy to catch and this should have been caught at the assembly line. My bet is new piece of equipment new procedures, Whopes.
Why wasn't that caught during QC?
I just hope that's the problem. Let's get these bad boys back to work and solve the engine problems. Probably nothing Roles Royce can't dope out.
well they do have a knack for electronics...........just saying
Call it paranoia, but could there be one or more AB moles in the 787 production line? Such things have happened before...
Like the Boeing moles in Toulouse?
Industrial espionage takes many forms and subtle sabotage detection is often a time evident endeavor.
Because no body at Boeing can screw up, right? We won't CALL it paranoia; it IS paranoia.
Take Boeing off the pedestal and treat them like any other company. Anyway, get off the computer. You're show "The Americans" is almost on.
He is just acutely aware.
congrats....might be the stupidest comment ever posted Joel
Why thank you Steven, I always aspired to be the apex of something. I am honored that you, being the ultimate arbiter of stupidity, would grant me that laurel.

Japanese Investigators Find ANA Dreamliner Battery Miswired
Investigators said that the plane's flickering wing and tail lights after landing, coupled with the fact that the battery was switched off, led them to conclude that miswiring was allowing current to travel from the APU to the battery in an irregular way. The Associated Press reports that the JTSB said that it still needs to conduct further tests before it is ready to say why the main battery overheated and start smoldering, prompting the emergency landing.
What?The battery of the APU was incorrectly wire to the main battery? There is something else that's not being explained.There is no reason for any interconnect between the two batteries unless they are meant work in series. Something doesn't make sense in that statement.
From what I have heard, all the batteries are wired together in a "gang".
The eight cells in each battery are contained in a "gang" assembly, complete with thermal protection, electrical isolation, and monitoring circuitry.
The main and APU batteries are interconnected in a complex circuit that allows either battery to serve certain essential loads, most notably starting the APU. The default mode is both batteries in tandem (parallel, not series) for starting the APU. In the event of a failure of either battery, the other battery can handle the load on its own (albiet generating quite a bit more heat...)
An overlooked issue is, even if causation and a fix is found, what authority is willing to approve it? Talk about high profile..
Hardly "overlooked", Emergency AD 2013-02-51 clearly states:
(g) Modification or Other Action
Before further flight, modify the battery system, or take other actions, in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.
Ha Ha
Confirms what I have been saying all along !
What if the cause is not the battery BUT the system ( electrical ) ?
Like in a murder investigation , ALL plausible as well as implausible angles must be probed . To arrive at a definitive conclusion , beyond a shadow of doubt .
Actually it is "reasonable" doubt...
Because we all know elecrical systems have valves in them.
Sean: Think about it before you ridicule it. What function do valves perform? If they're open they allow flow to occur. When shut they stop the flow. If they have a range of "openness" they regulate the flow. In this case the flow in question was electric current. In our parlance the "protective valve" would be called a circuit breaker.
The report came from the Japanese TSB. "Protective valve" undoubtedly is what the Japanese call a circuit breaker.
I used to have an Allied Short-wave receiver. The receiver was made in the late 1960s. The manual was written in Japan, where the receiver was made, and translated to English. The parts list had several odd parts called Voltage Stoppers (diodes) and Voltage Reducers (resistors).
Disparaging nonsense will not help the situation! If you know TaLK, if you do not know LISTEN, if you don't know you don't know, shut-up.
My years as a Flight Test Inspector with the Boeing Co, gave me comfort knowing management would give me back-up. Boeing does strive for 'Zero Defects', their motto.
Everything that goes wrong is not under the care of The Boeing Co.
If I remember correctly, weren't these batteries replaced several times by ANA? While miswiring at the factory is possible, miswiring by mx is much more likely.
Check the other planes for miswiring, slap a sticker in the battery bay for reference, institute mandatory QC for battery mx, and get these birds back in the air.
The wiring is all done at the factory, all that mx does is unplug a connector then plug it into the new one, no actual wiring involved with a battery swap.
Lets see here. The red wire goes to the + and the black wire goes to the -.
If only these large transports were so simple!
While this demonstrates Murphys Law in action, to me, it's more about managements smugness (they fawned all over their elaborate "protective" systems), and, the apparent total lack of appreciation for the complexities of the 'simple' battery - which is one of the least understood devices (aside: Bell Labs had a full-time engineering staff dedicated to understanding the personality of a lowly lead-acid cell). I just would have though that with such cutting edge tech, they'd at least have considered and pre-qualified a Plan B (i.e., slide-in NiMH retrofit).
It is hard to have a "slide in" retrofit that is twice the size and three times heavier, without even getting into the different monitoring requirements, operating temperatures, voltages, charging limits.....
Back to weights and balances.
I get it. But it'd still be flying, yes? (rhetorical)
Listen, it's hard to make a case with me when so much info was/is available on the LiON technology and assoc. problems/issues. The hubris is damning. I thought Boeing would be making history rather than repeating it.
I think I remember reading something about the fawning and bragging some years ago when "they" said the Titanic unsinkable. Then I remember reading something someone said about remembering history or it will become redundant and repetitive.
What are the people at Boeing thinking? I use lipo batteries in my RC planes and you have to charge them in a charging bag. They catch on fire sometimes. I have no people on the planes Boeing should do the same thing.

How's that? All of our bags come with a Dog Tag price tag that's attached using a wire cable lock. Simply unscrew the wire cable at the knurled thumbscrew, slip the cable through the base holes on the closed zipper tabs on your bag, screw it back together and voila, a deceptively simple Luggage Cable Lock that looks permanent (see image in Photos tab). Any single zipper pocket can also be secured with the cable lock by pulling it through the nylon pull tab (loop) located on the bag at each end of the zipper and through the hole in the base of the zipper tab.
In fact, many of our customers have used a wire cutter to remove the dog tags, when all you have to do is unscrew it. Now understand, a determined thief can put their fingers a little way into your bag despite the Cable Lock, but the idea is to slow them or fluster them such that the lock will deter them and they will move on.
If checking your bag, the cables also help keep it from accidentally zipping open. And for a dollar, that's low cost piece of mind. The 1 mil diameter twisted stainless steel cable has a tensile strength of 36 lbs. Our Luggage Cable Lock is six inches long with knurled thumbscrew.
Made for Red Oxx by BallChain Corporation.
Lifetime Warranty.
Said satisfied customer Charles, "This accessory came with my Sky Train a couple of years ago. I have bought "look-alikes" but none has lasted as long as the original Red Oxx Luggage Cable Lock did, still using it today!"
Buy two or more Cable Locks, you'll always find a use for more than one!
Red Oxx is a Veteran owned and operated business.
UPS Transit Shipping Time Map.
As time rolls a ceaseless course, only the genuine guarantee remains. The mountains will persist, the oceans are bound to endure and Red Oxx will continue to be rugged, reliable, and tough.
To the depths of the Amazon basin to the peaks of the Himilayas, Red Oxx Manufacturing is infallible.

At 7 a.m. Friday, a crane in the parking lot outside Regal Cinemas at the Salmon Run Mall unloaded seven 310-gallon stainless steel fermentation tanks.
Yes, fermentation tanks.
Those tanks will be used to produce about 750 barrels of craft beer each year at Skewed Brewing Co., which is scheduled to open at the mall in October. The demolition of walls will start in about two weeks to make room for the 2,250-square-foot brew pub and eatery planned by Ryan N. and Cheryl C. Chaif, owners of Hops Spot restaurant in Sackets Harbor, and Mark P. Crandall.
With space for 100 diners, the eatery will feature indoor seating and an outdoor caf�, a 40-foot stainless steel bar and a brick oven used for baking with organic, locally grown ingredients.
Were really excited for people to be able to have a sit-down meal here before they go to a movie or shopping, Mr. Chaif said. It will give them a chance to relax, as opposed to just sitting in the food court.
Inspired by pubs from the Prohibition era, the eatery will showcase a frosted-glass storefront with a large pixelated print of a skewed curve, Mr. Chaif said.
People can keep a close watch on construction progress at the pub at the following social media websites: www.facebook.com/GetSkewed and https://twitter.com/SkewedBrewing. Pictures and updates will be posted throughout the summer and fall.
Facebook is the easiest way for us to update and keep people informed, Mr. Chaif said, adding that job openings for the pub will be posted this summer.
He said about 45 employees are expected to be hired the first year 10 full time and 35 part time. Some employees at the Hops Spot will be transferred to the mall in September.
Were going to bring service and manufacturing jobs to the area, he said. Manufacturing in this area used to be big, so were glad offer those jobs.
Three homemade brews will be on tap when the pub opens, Mr. Chaif said, but the owners are keeping mum about that lineup until the pub opens.
Hops purchased from local farmers will be fermented in tanks to produce the beer. About a dozen international craft brews also will be featured.
Were still tweaking recipes, and I think well have some interesting stuff, Mr. Chaif said.
A mathematical term inspired the pubs name, he said. Two nonparallel lines in space are called skewed lines in geometry.
Owners financed the project with a $50,000 loan from the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency and a $500,000 loan from Watertown Savings Bank.

Unique air foil design creates unsurpassed, erratic darting and swimming action. Proven effective on fresh and saltwater gamefish.
Rigging Tip
After continuous use swimbaits begin to slip off the shank of the jig head. Once they start doing this they soon become unusable. To prevent this, glue the plastic to the jig head shank with ZAP-A-GAP when you first rig up. The swimbait will stay glued to the head permanently until you decide to separate the two.

With the start of the college football season, things have settled down a lot concerning the conference shift rumors, truths and lies from the summer.
Utah and BYU fans can now debate the relative merits of their teams rather than pick and bemoan their relative positions as to what will happen in the coming years.
At 2-0 Utah looks good, but many Ute fans are being pretty presumtuous to think that their team will go undefeated, break into another BCS bowl game and ride a high wave going into the PAC 12 next year.
BYU fans are scratching their heads about what might happen, with the 1-1 record peering into the future and as unsure about what football independence will bring them as they are about what bowl they will hopefully play in this year.
The arrogance of fans on both sides of the blue/white-crimson/white fight is amazing. Utah fans like to hold their being taken by an established league with long credentials as proof they are better than Cougar fans. BYU fans ridicule Utah for being the "last resort" of a league looking to expand and say Utah will be the bottom feeders of the PAC 12 forever.
The rhetoric is ridiculous. The only place athletics really matter is on the field and let's face it, these competitions have nothing to do with life or death, war and peace or whether the human race can survive on an ever more crowded planet.
I think both schools did what was best for them and that what they have done will be good for all of us, Ute or Cougar.
And what about those Aggies? We need to believe that their growth in football this year will be substantial even though right now their future in an ever waning WAC conference is in doubt.
I know sports are big business, whether it be in the professional ranks or the college ones, but afterall it is still just what it is. There was a time when I lived and died, day to day, over how the Utes did. Now I like to see them win, but if they don't it doesn't ruin my weekend.
Utah and BYU will go on and maybe the rivalry games will become less common. I actually doubt that will happen though. We all love hating each other too much, at least for one week a year.
I just try to think of the best things that could happen. Utah in a powerful league where it could really be in contention for a lot alcolades and attention, and BYU independent, playing big name teams in football and some very good schools in basketball in its affiliation with the WCC where it will be with like partners who are glad to have them.
There is no down side here in my mind. Just good stuff.
