TJB Hall of Fame: Joe Namath
icon. n. 1. An important and enduring symbol. 2. One who is the object of great attention and devotion; an idol.
If ever there was a player who could be considered a true icon in New York Jets history, it's Joe Namath. Indeed, there may be no player more identified with the franchise, no man more inextricably linked with New York and the Jets. Even the most casual of football fans — as well as millions of older Americans who lived through it — know of Broadway Joe and The Guarantee, and the Jets upset of the NFL's mighty Colts in Super Bowl III. It's a moment locked in the annals of football history, a moment in time when the game transcended the sport itself.
For many Jets fans, Namath will always be beloved because he's The One: The Quarterback who led the Jets to their first, and to this point, lone championship. And for many, that one game is reason enough to enshrine him in the TJB Hall of Fame. However, he means much more than that to this franchise, to the NFL and all of professional sports.
Born on May 31, 1943, in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, in the heart of steel country, Joseph William Namath quickly became a Pennsylvania athletic legend — a high school basketball player who could dunk, a pitcher who was given offers from six teams (including both the Yankees and fledgling Mets), and a state championship-winning quarterback in a state where football is king. He was recruited by multiple Division I colleges, but eventually chose Alabama and legendary coach Bear Bryant, where all he did was go 29-4 during his tenure and win a national championship in 1964. Bryant famously referred to Namath as "the greatest athlete I ever saw." Namath also had the distinction of being the only player Bryant ever called up to the top of the tower from which he used to oversee practice — years later, Bryant said, "I would've carried him up if I had known then how good he was."
Despite a knee injury sustained in his senior year (the first of many), Namath was drafted by both the NFL and the rival AFL in November of 1964. The NFL's St. Louis Cardinals selected him 12th overall, but after Sonny Werblin and the young Jets chose him first overall, he signed a three-year deal worth $389,000 — the most any athlete had been paid up to that time. The record-setting deal captured back pages across the country.
It also proved to be a great investment. In 13 games (9 as starter), Namath threw for 2,220 yards and 18 TDs, winning Rookie of the Year in 1965. He continued to improve from there, passing for 3,379 yards and 19 TDs his second season, leading the team to its first non-losing record in franchise history (6-6-2). In 1967, the Jets had their first winning season ever behind Namath (8-5-1), while he also was the first man in NFL history to pass for 4,000 yards (with 26 TDs in the process).
Of course, while wowing fans on the gridiron, Namath was also wowing New York like very few athletes have. To say he launched himself into the bright lights of the big city may be an understatement — Joe was the brightest light on Broadway, the epitome of the "booze and broads" swingin' 60s. "I like my Johnnie Walker Red and my women blonde," he said, and then did everything he could to leave no doubt about it. Unlike athletes of old, who kept their off-the-field activities and out of the press, Namath was a new breed who made no secret of his active social life, allowing himself to be seen in nightclubs and bars, and often in the company of attractive young women, starlets and Playmates. He had a penthouse featuring a llama-skin rug and a gigantic oval bed with a mirror over it, and was part owner of Bachelors III, a popular nightclub. At a time when America was discovering a freer social and sexual self, the handsome football antihero Namath was at the cultural forefront, leading the way with a wink.
Although he was paid very well by NFL standards, Namath would become one of the first athletes to make more off the field than on it, endorsing everything from Ovaltine to typewriters to panty hose. He shilled for airlines and famously shaved off his Fu Manchu mustache for Schick razors (and for an at-the-time staggering $10,000). He had a short-lived hamburger chain (Broadway Joe's) as well as ill-conceived employment agency with Mickey Mantle (Mantle Men/Namath Girls). He was in movies, on TV ("The Joe Namath Show" is the late 60s at its finest — go-go girls, big stars and Dick Schaap), and on (and in) numerous magazines. The constant bombardment of athletic endorsements and cross promotions that is common practice today found its true start with the Namath's winning smile and cross-over sex appeal. For the first time, people other than hardcore football fans were watching the game on TV, especially women.
And Namath gave them something to watch.
One of the lesser-known facts about Namath was that under the glitz of Broadway Joe was a serious football student. In an era before headsets and sidelines playsheets, he called all the plays for the offense. At a time when only coaches watched game film, Namath spent hours with the projector ("the one-eyed monster" as he called it, "which sees all."). He would break down defenses and study his opponents' weaknesses for hours on a daily basis. As a matter of fact, it was this keen study that lead to The Guarantee . . .
The 1968 season was undoubtedly the greatest in the annals of Jets history — the Heidi Game notwithstanding. Namath was peaking as a player, and threw for 3,147 yards and 15 TDs while leading the Jets to an 11-3 record. His favorite two downfield targets, George Sauer (66 receptions, 1,141 yards, 3 TDs, 17.3 yards/reception) and Hall-of-Famer Don Maynard (57 receptions, 1,297 yards, 10 TDs and a staggering 22.8 yards/reception) fueled an offensive attack that also featured a punishing ground game as Matt Snell and Emerson Boozer combined for nearly 1,200 rushing yards. In the AFL championship game against the Raiders, Namath and co. avenged the Heidi game 27-23 — with Joe throwing for 266 yards and 3 TDs, including the winning score to Maynard — and punched the Jets (and his) ticket to NFL immortality.
The 1968 league championship was supposed to be a blowout as the oddsmakers had the Baltimore Colts as heavy favorites — and why not? They were 15-1 going into the championship game, had shut out four teams along the way, including the Cleveland Browns 34-0 in the conference game. They had a great defense and quarterback Earl Morrall had enjoyed a better season than the balky-kneed Namath. And oh yeah, they had a fellow by the name of Johnny Unitas — only the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL — coming off the bench. How could the Jets, out of the lowly AFL, even compete with the champions of the vastly superior NFL? The oddsmakers were giving them 18 points. Forty-nine of 55 newspapers also picked the Colts to win, and to win big. It was to be the biggest sporting mismatch since a giant named Goliath was to face off against some little guy named David, and Namath, a winner his whole career, didn't care for it . . . .
"The Jets will win Sunday," he announced to the world. "I guarantee it."
And they did, 16-7.
The stunning victory by the "lesser" Jets earned the entire AFL massive respect and opened the door to the two leagues merger a year later. It also signaled a new era for football, making the game a true entertainment that drew even casual fans. The Super Bowl, as it had been christened two days beforehand, had arrived.
Despite only throwing for 206 yards and having no TDs, Namath was named the game's MVP, mostly because he called a brilliant game. He had the Jets pound the ballyhooed Colts defense on the ground, rushing Snell 30 times for 131 yards, and giving Boozer 10 carries — he didn't even attempt a pass in the 4th quarter, content to run the clock out on the Colts, and the NFL's dominance over the AFL.
It was a victory for the ages.
Namath and the Jets came back strong the next year — he threw for 2,734 yards and 19 TDs on the way to going 10-4 — but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. Namath's knees were getting worse, and his commitments and activities off the field started putting stress on his game. Three of the next four seasons he missed significant time due to injuries, although when he played, he produced — in 1972, he played in all 14 games and lead the NFL in passing yards (2,816) and TDs (19), while the team went 7-7.
From there, although Namath continued to play well, time and the NFL had caught up to him. By 1976, his Jets career had wound down, and the next year, he played in only four games for the Los Angeles Rams before calling it quits. He continued to endorse products and businesses, while also trying his hand at acting and broadcasting, among other things. Finally though, after highly publicized ups and downs, he has ultimately turned to the role he knows best: being Joe Willie Namath.
During his career, he earned all-league accolades four times and was named to the all-time AFL honor team in 1969. He was also elected to four AFL all-star games and one AFC-NFC Pro Bowl. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985, and his number 12 was retired by the Jets the same year. Nearly 40 years later, he is still the Jets career leader in passing yards (27,057) and TDs (170). He still is the author of the Jets lone championship. He is still the most famous player ever to wear a Jets uniform.
Joe Namath is still the Jets icon.

A six-year-old girl was critically hurt Tuesday evening in an auto-pedestrian collision on Highway 10 about a mile south of the US 6 interchange.
Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Johnson said the youngster, whose name was not released, apparently darted into the path of a southbound vehicle and was hit in the middle of the lane.
The accident happened at about 5:20 p.m.
"There was no suspicion of impairment or distraction on the part of the driver," Johnson stated. He identified the driver as Sue Wiler, 47, no address given.
The vehicle was a 2011 Ford Explorer.
The girl was transported by medical helicopter to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake, where she was reported in critical but stable condition Wednesday afternoon.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Early Thursday morning, the Buffalo School Board voted against hiring former Buffalo TV reporter Lorey Schultz as a new $115,000 public relations specialist for the district. Board members casted six "no" votes, and two "yes" votes. Board member Florence Johnson did not cast a vote.
Schultz, who most recently worked in communications for Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, was hired earlier this month by superintendent Dr. Pamela Brown. Since the position was not included in this year's budget, the school board had to vote on the hire before it was made official.
Although the board did not discuss Schultz's situation until 11:53 p.m. -- close to five and a half hours after the meeting began -- several members spoke passionately about the topic. Brown urged the board to approve the hire, claiming that the district needs to better facilitate its relationship with the media and community. She also cited her experience in previous school districts and said she had not worked in a district without multiple public relations liasons.
Theresa Harris-Tigg said she understood the need, but that in this current economic climate, "we can't have it all."
"It's hard to justify to parents, this kind of cost for that [job]," she said.
The district currently has a staffer, Elena Cala, who handles public and media relations. Her salary was recently increased to more than $82,500.

Caleb L. Whiting, 17, won't just meet his idol on Saturday. He'll get to sing for him, too.
The Watertown High School junior will open for rapper Kendrick Lamar at 8 p.m. Saturday in the McVean Gymnasium at Jefferson Community College.
"This legit is one of the best lyricists out there," said Caleb, a rap and rhythm-and-blues artist. "I know I have to bring my A game. I want to make sure I prove myself."
Caleb found out he was opening for the singer last Friday, when JCC representatives, several members of his family and high school interim Principal Joseph M. McGrath came to his ninth-period class to tell him and his classmates the news.
When he saw his parents and the principal walk into the class, "I thought, 'Wow, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble,'" he said. "When they said I was opening up, I had the biggest smile on my face. I was shaking. It was really crazy."
He started writing music when he was 10 but got serious after entering a high school talent show in 2011 with several other musicians, including his engineer, disc jockey and producer, 18-year-old senior Phillip Armas. Phillip, who will be the DJ at the show this weekend, goes by the stage name "Dr. Philosophy" and produces Caleb's music in a plywood studio in his bedroom.
"I draw inspiration from stuff I've seen, stuff I've been through, like relationships and family issues," Caleb said.
Phillip said Caleb also writes songs about classmates and friends who are battling cancer or have died.
"He keeps it real," Phillip said.
The two mostly have had gigs at Velocity and played at a benefit for the local Children's Miracle Network last year.
"It's definitely looking to be the biggest show we've done," Caleb said. "We're making sure the transitions between the songs are flawless and making sure I memorize the songs."
Phillip and Caleb are not nervous yet, but Caleb said he thinks his nerves will kick in the day of the show.
His music can be found at www.youtube.com/user/upstatethisbecaleb/videos, and Caleb recommends "Somebody," "Dear Diary" and "Dream Chasers" for first-time listeners. "Dream Chasers" has been viewed more than 4,000 times since it was posted a month ago on YouTube.
"We owe a lot to our parents," Phillip said. "Our parents have gotten us further than we could have ourselves — through the rough, through the easy."
Special guest 5 & A Dime also will be performing at the concert as part of the Karmaloop's Verge Campus Tour.
Tickets for the show are $50 each and can be bought online through www.suny jefferson.edu or by calling 786-2431. JCC students can buy tickets for $30 each by presenting a SUNY ID at the JCC Student Activities office.

An op-ed in The Wall Street Journal by editorial writer Allysia Finley downplayed a labor judge's findings of employer misconduct to accuse California's Agricultural Labor Relations Board of teaming up with the United Food Workers to "shake down workers" by throwing out the ballots of a decertification vote. Finley ignored several unlawful actions by the employer, Gerawan Farming, claiming that the misconduct "amounted mainly to a 'well-timed' raise."
A Media Matters analysis of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal found that The Post dedicated extensive coverage to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's boast that the House Select Committee on Benghazi was part of a partisan strategy that damaged Hillary Clinton's presidential chances. The Post featured 17 online or print articles or blog posts that mentioned or covered McCarthy's comments. The Times mentioned or covered the comments in five online or print articles or blog posts, and The Journal neglected to offer any print coverage, but had five online articles and blog posts that mentioned or offered coverage.
A Media Matters analysis of the three months of broadcast evening news' coverage of Hillary Clinton following her 2016 presidential campaign launch found that there were more than twice as many segments covering Clinton's use of a personal email server than there were of her more than a dozen announced policy proposals and positions.
As the nation's student loan debt burden continues to grow and voters look to 2016 presidential candidates for solutions, right-wing media continue to perpetuate debunked myths about college costs, financial aid, and student loans. Here are the facts that conservative media outlets ignore.

Video: Live Video: Buffalo Sabres Fire Head Coach Lindy Ruff
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Governor Andrew Cuomo is in Buffalo Tuesday to announce the plan moving forward for his "Billion to Buffalo" economic development initiative.
The Governor, as well as the Lieutenant Governor will participate in the WNY Regional Economic Development Council Assessment Tour late Tuesday morning.
The governor announced the billion dollar investment in January of this year. Since then, his WNY Regional Economic Development Council has been meeting to explore the best ways to spend the money and have the biggest economic impact.
Sources tell 2 On Your Side that the council submitted its recommendations to the governor, who has reviewed them. The sources say the Governor will announce which areas or industries will be the focus of the investment. Mr. Cuomo is also expected to give a status report on what has happened over the past 11 months.
In a separate announcement, sources tell us the governor will reveal a plan to "save" tour boat service in Niagara Falls.
Earlier this year, the Niagara Parks Commission announced it awarded its tour bid to a company from California, Hornblower, ending its decades-long agreement with locally-based Maid of the Mist.
That change sparked concerns on the American side, because Maid of the Mist uses Canadian property to store its boats during the off-season months.
The sources were unsure of specifics surrounding the governor's announcement and whether he would be supporting a plan to keep Maid of the Mist in operation or supporting competitive bids that could possibly result in a new operator.
2 On Your Side was unable to reach either Maid of the Mist or Hornblower.

|Magnet or Specialized Schools
To facilitate public school desegregation, many states and school districts have created magnet schools, which provide specialized curriculums and instructional approaches to attract students from a variety of neighborhoods in a metropolitan area. Often, enrollment for magnet schools is regulated in a variety of ways to ensure schools remain racially balanced, usually through the use of admissions criteria, first-come, first-served applications, lotteries, and/or percentage set-asides for neighborhood residents.
One of the strengths of magnet schools is their ability to establish a unique focus such as gifted and talented, math and science, or basic-skills programs. In addition, principals of some magnets are given more autonomy over certain decisions. For example, principals of certain magnets may interview anyone in the school district's teacher pool for an open position and may disregard seniority in making their selection.
Although magnet programs are often established to meet federal requirements for desegregating public schools, parents, teachers, and others often design the actual magnet programs based upon the needs of their communities. Operating costs for magnets are funded by federal grants, state grants, local school board contributions, corporate contributions and, in some cases, tuition paid by parents.

Study: 'People seem to be energized about getting outdoors'
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- Though some industries have suffered in the past few years, a new study shows that one industry has thrived.
The study released by the Outdoor Industry Association says that more people are starting to spend more money on goods for the outdoors.
Officials at a local outdoor sporting goods store say they've definitely seen an uptick in customers.
The study found the Oregon outdoors provides more than 140,000 jobs and put nearly $13-billion into the state's economy.
Jerel Skeith from Waldron's Outdoor Sports says more people have been looking to the outdoors for entertainment. "People seem to be energized about getting outdoors," he said.
Skeith says outdoor hobbies have a special appeal, because unlike spending money for a single experience, buying outdoor gear can provide you with entertainment for countless trips.
The outdoor industry data tracks through 2011, but Skeith says this year has been particularly good.
>>>More Outdoor News
He says that may be because those who've saved during the recession are finally ready to give themselves a little reward. "People kind of hunkered down and spent conservatively, and now it seems to be all bets are off," he said.
So, whether people are buying a new bow, new boots or a new bike, the point is that they're buying, and the outdoors is one industry that's booming.

Big Data
What it is & why it matters
Big data is a popular term used to describe the exponential growth and availability of data, both structured and unstructured. And big data may be as important to business – and society – as the Internet has become. Why? More data may lead to more accurate analyses.
More accurate analyses may lead to more confident decision making. And better decisions can mean greater operational efficiencies, cost reductions and reduced risk.
Big data defined
As far back as 2001, industry analyst Doug Laney (currently with Gartner) articulated the now mainstream definition of big data as the three Vs of big data: volume, velocity and variety1.
- Volume. Many factors contribute to the increase in data volume. Transaction-based data stored through the years. Unstructured data streaming in from social media. Increasing amounts of sensor and machine-to-machine data being collected. In the past, excessive data volume was a storage issue. But with decreasing storage costs, other issues emerge, including how to determine relevance within large data volumes and how to use analytics to create value from relevant data.
- Velocity. Data is streaming in at unprecedented speed and must be dealt with in a timely manner. RFID tags, sensors and smart metering are driving the need to deal with torrents of data in near-real time. Reacting quickly enough to deal with data velocity is a challenge for most organizations.
- Variety. Data today comes in all types of formats. Structured, numeric data in traditional databases. Information created from line-of-business applications. Unstructured text documents, email, video, audio, stock ticker data and financial transactions. Managing, merging and governing different varieties of data is something many organizations still grapple with.
At SAS, we consider two additional dimensions when thinking about big data:
- Variability. In addition to the increasing velocities and varieties of data, data flows can be highly inconsistent with periodic peaks. Is something trending in social media? Daily, seasonal and event-triggered peak data loads can be challenging to manage. Even more so with unstructured data involved.
- Complexity. Today's data comes from multiple sources. And it is still an undertaking to link, match, cleanse and transform data across systems. However, it is necessary to connect and correlate relationships, hierarchies and multiple data linkages or your data can quickly spiral out of control.

- Insurer hits the mark with big data (sascom magazine)
- Three ways big data can benefit your business (sascom magazine)
Why big data should matter to you
The real issue is not that you are acquiring large amounts of data. It's what you do with the data that counts. The hopeful vision is that organizations will be able to take data from any source, harness relevant data and analyze it to find answers that enable 1) cost reductions, 2) time reductions, 3) new product development and optimized offerings, and 4) smarter business decision making. For instance, by combining big data and high-powered analytics, it is possible to:
- Determine root causes of failures, issues and defects in near-real time, potentially saving billions of dollars annually.
- Optimize routes for many thousands of package delivery vehicles while they are on the road.
- Analyze millions of SKUs to determine prices that maximize profit and clear inventory.
- Generate retail coupons at the point of sale based on the customer's current and past purchases.
- Send tailored recommendations to mobile devices while customers are in the right area to take advantage of offers.
- Recalculate entire risk portfolios in minutes.
- Quickly identify customers who matter the most.
- Use clickstream analysis and data mining to detect fraudulent behavior.
Challenges to Consider
Many organizations are concerned that the amount of amassed data is becoming so large that it is difficult to find the most valuable pieces of information.
- What if your data volume gets so large and varied you don't know how to deal with it?
- Do you store all your data?
- Do you analyze it all?
- How can you find out which data points are really important?
- How can you use it to your best advantage?
Until recently, organizations have been limited to using subsets of their data, or they were constrained to simplistic analyses because the sheer volumes of data overwhelmed their processing platforms. But, what is the point of collecting and storing terabytes of data if you can't analyze it in full context, or if you have to wait hours or days to get results? On the other hand, not all business questions are better answered by bigger data. You now have two choices:
Incorporate massive data volumes in analysis. If the answers you're seeking will be better provided by analyzing all of your data, go for it. High-performance technologies that extract value from massive amounts of data are here today. One approach is to apply high-performance analytics to analyze the massive amounts of data using technologies such as grid computing, in-database processing and in-memory analytics.
Determine upfront which data is relevant. Traditionally, the trend has been to store everything (some call it data hoarding) and only when you query the data do you discover what is relevant. We now have the ability to apply analytics on the front end to determine relevance based on context. This type of analysis determines which data should be included in analytical processes and what can be placed in low-cost storage for later use if needed.
Enabling Technologies
A number of recent technology advancements enable organizations to make the most of big data and big data analytics:
- Cheap, abundant storage.
- Faster processors.
- Affordable open source, distributed big data platforms, such as Hadoop.
- Parallel processing, clustering, MPP, virtualization, large grid environments, high connectivity and high throughputs.
- Cloud computing and other flexible resource allocation arrangements.
Big data in action
Perspective: UPS
UPS is no stranger to big data, having begun to capture and track a variety of package movements and transactions as early as the 1980s.The company now tracks data on 16.3 million packages per day for 8.8 million customers, with an average of 39.5 million tracking requests from customers per day. The company stores more than 16 petabytes of data.
Much of its recently acquired big data, however, comes from telematics sensors in more than 46,000 vehicles. The data on UPS trucks, for example, includes their speed, direction, braking and drive train performance. The data in not only used to monitor daily performance, but to drive a major redesign of UPS drivers' route structures. This initiative, called ORION (On-Road Integration Optimization and Navigation), is arguably the world's largest operations research project. It also relies heavily on online map data, and will eventually reconfigure a driver's pickups and drop-offs in real time.
The project has already led to savings in 2011 of more than 8.4 million gallons of fuel by cutting 85 million miles off of daily routes. UPS estimates that saving only one daily mile per driver saves the company $30 million, so the overall dollar savings are substantial. The company is also attempting to use data and analytics to optimize the efficiency of its 2,000 aircraft flights per day.2

what you have done is installed linux on a windows partition.
it works, but isn't really recomended for a workable linux installation.
as you have a seperate partition that you want to you for linux, i would recomend reinstalling it on a native linux partition.
you will also have to make a swap partition, 100mb should be fine
then you can make a partion for /, the root directory of linux
then you will be able to choose what to boot from at bootup
if you have any problems or more questions feel free to ask, we should be able to help you with them

I have to disagree with the selection of the 3 stars for the New York Ranger's 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in game 3. I would go with Henrik Lundqvist as my third star for keeping the Rangers in the game during the 2nd period, the second star goes to former Ranger coach Tom Renney after the Rangers blocked 28 shots of the Flyers (15 of the 18 dressed skaters blocked at least 1 shot) and the first star goes to the coach Alain Vigneault for keep this team together when they started to bend late in the first period.
Vigneault deserves credit for not benching Benoit Pouliot after a terrible stretch in the first period that almost cost the Rangers. While Ranger fans were on Facebook and Twitter looking to string Pouliout alive, the coach stayed with him (but with a post game warning about needing to play better) and did not change his lineup.
Yet it was keeping the Rangers from losing composure when the Flyers had scored to cut the Ranger lead to 2-1 that really deserves the standing ovation. Unlike game 1 when the Rangers melted down after the Flyers scored to get back in the game, Vigneault stuck with his team, kept them focused on the game plan even if it was stealing from the Renney/Tortorella textbook.
The Rangers kept their cool despite some really suspect officiating that led to questionable calls on Derek Dorsett and Dan Carcillo. They went after Ray Emery with bodies in his vision and shots from right in on him. Heck I have to eat crow for Alain Vigneault dressed Carcillo instead of JT Miller when I should have remembered my Ranger's history where they would get goals from the unlikest of players as they did when Carcillo scored that huge dagger goal after leaving the penalty box.
Tuesday night was about the team coming together and playing as a unit which you could see was frustrating the Flyers and led to the Rangers regaining home ice advantage. This was a win for the coach and his game plan.
Now let us hope the players got the message and remember to play like this on Friday night.
Some people think I hate Rick Nash for the way I am always down on him but no that is not the case. What I want is to see the Rick Nash who scored 26 goals during the season. What I don't want to see is Nash playing a perimeter game as he has been prone to do during the playoffs. I want to see him attack the net with his size and use it to create offense for his teammates. No sane team is going to let a 6'3 Rick Nash wander through the crease unguarded so he would be tying up a defender and opening up space for his linemates.
Case in point: Nash's shot that deflected off Emery's glove wound up right on the stick of Derek Stepan who cashed it in for the Ranger's first goal. Give me that Rick Nash any night instead of one who is firing easy shots towards the Flyer's net that are seen by the defense and Ray Emery making them easy to stop.
Yes Nash has 4 total assists in the 3 games but only one direct led to a goal and the Rangers need more than that from Nash if they are to go far in the playoffs.
The other thing that gets me is those who think it is OK that the Rangers have made the playoffs for 8 out of the last 9 years. For some they view that as some sort of badge of honor that says the Rangers are competitive. Others think it means the Rangers are contenders of some sort and on that I totally disagree.
I won't speak for anyone but myself here and that come every September when the team gathers for training camp, I want the team to have the goal of winning the Stanley Cup not just making the playoffs so they can play 1-2 rounds.
I think I have heard just about every possible excuse why people accept it when the Rangers aren't playing for the Cup. I don't care what other teams do, I care about the team named Rangers and I am tired of just 1 cup win in my 54 years of rooting for them. With all the resources that the Rangers have why is demanding a legit annual cup contender such a bad idea? Yes you can call it unreasonable to expect that the Rangers play for the Cup every year but I say it is wrong if you don't demand more than one trip to the conferece finals since 1997. Or are you satisfied watching the MSG Network trot out the highlights of the 1994 Cup win every June? Aren't you by now wanting some new highlights, a new parade down the Avenue of Champions or the sight of Rangers hoisting the Cup in the air? I know I want it so how about you?

CANTON An assistant superintendent filed a lawsuit Monday against the Massena Central School District for failing to properly investigate a harassment claim against Superintendent Roger B. Clough.
The lawsuit comes after a March 2 notice of claim filed by Assistant Superintendent for Business Cynthia M. Yager that alerted the school district a lawsuit was in the works. Later that month, school district officials issued a press statement denying any wrongdoing.
Ms. Yager is asking the school district to release the investigative report prepared in response to Ms. Yagers request regarding discrimination harassment and retaliation. She wants to schedule an evidentiary hearing before the Board of Education to appeal any statements made by Mr. Clough, the lawsuit says.
Ms. Yager has asked the court to preserve her rights of confidentiality regarding her complaints against Mr. Clough during this process
According to the lawsuit, Ms. Yager has been subject to ongoing discrimination, harassment, bullying, retaliation and a hostile workplace from Mr. Clough for several years. It alleges that on May 25, Mr. Clough screamed at Ms. Yager, making her fear for her safety.
She accuses Board of Education President Leonard Matthews on Sept. 8 of inquiring about a possible sexual relationship with board member Ronald Faucher. At that time, Mr. Matthews allegedly told her he knows how to deal with post-menopausal women. She accuses Mr. Matthews of instigating rumor and speculation about her sex life, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit says Ms. Yager presented her complaints about Mr. Clough to the board and was assured her identity would remain anonymous. But the lawsuit alleges Mr. Matthews alerted the superintendent of her complaint and the investigation.
On Sept. 6, Mr. Matthews telephoned Mr. Clough and told him he would not tolerate any more improper behavior, according to court documents.
After this, Ms. Yager received numerous unmerited and unsubstantiated reprimands and many financial duties were taken from her by Mr. Clough.
When an independent attorney began interviewing board officials, it was in an office next to Mr. Clough, who allegedly met with and pressured school board members before the interviews.
The lawsuit said it has cost the district $27,000 to defend complaints against Mr. Clough.
Ms. Yager is represented by Arthur P. Scheuermann, of Latham.
Her claim asks the court to compel the school district to pay the cost of court proceedings.

i kinnah was discusting relegion on another threat that had NOTHING to do with it so...
ill do it here! if you have a relegion tell me about it! if you dont belive in god also tell me! share your thoughts on whats beond death but if you are racist on others relegions... i ask of you not to poste cause things could get ugly. trust me. personal family expirience
thanks 4 starting a new discussion for that
however i believe what u said could come across as racist and i still hav that view
no you dont anymore and you know why
There's nothing religious about race. Posting something about a religion couldn't be viewed as racist, but could be seen as religious hatred. Sometimes, for example, Jewish people are a race, because they descend from the original Jews, but often they do not follow the religion. Personally, I believe that we can all live together with different beliefs, and although I'm a Christian, I'm not gonna go around bible bashing and telling others that their beliefs are wrong (and I'm not saying they are wrong). I think we should all try and live harmoniously.
I am agnostic and not part of any religion
i agree glbwhat i meant by racist is that some peaple are rasist with others religions and they dont accept it. and nathan m, agnostic means you dont have a reiegion but believe in got or does it mean you dont belive in got at all?
i don't hav that view anymore so there is no problem
i posted that before u explained
i know
back to the discussion... do you like a relegion but you family dosent let you assis it maybe?
i am christian
however i am not a very religious person
I am a Christian too.
Mrtechnotrousers, I'm curious, what did you mean by " However, I'm am not a very religious person"?
as in i do not always read the bible and go to church but i am christian
if u get what i mean i am christian and hav christian beliefs however i don't really pray much or anything like that
or im not really involved in any religious practices or other stuff like that
Do you not like church? I'm not critisizing you, I was just wondering the reason for some of your actions. I don't think I could not pray. It helps so much.
I hate church. The people at the last two I went to were horrible, it's really put me off.
i undersand what you mean glb hey tell me, r u cristian like mrtecnotrousers that dosent go to chuch much or pray? or do you have a different relegion like me?
I am agnostic so i am not sure whether god is real or not
Theist - believing in god
Agnostic - not sure whether god exists or not
Atheist - Not believing in god
i'm Christian and I pray, but I dont go to church.
I'm a Christian and I go to Church, but I know that people sometimes gaet burnt out with church from time to time. Getting together with beleivers is one of the commands in the Bible,but it is not essential for salvation. I beleive that, personally, it is a good Idea to get together with other Christians for like a Bible Study or something, because it does help you having positive influences around you. However, a lot of people complicate things and establish too many rules. I read something once that said, keep it simple, because the Gospel is already simple, that way everyone can understand. Jesus came to earth, died, and rose again, so that if we beleive this, and beleive he is God, we can have eternal life in heaven. That is what Christianity beleives. Now, if you are a Christian, you will try to live as good as you can, but good works won't save you. a Christian comedian said once, " that's what I like about Christianity, it takes you in spite of yourself" Jesus said," No one comes to the father ( God) except through me". at the root of it church ( even though I like my church), and rules aside, this is all you need to belive for salvation. That's why I'm a Christian and I love Jesus for what he did for me. To me, it makes sense that the way of salvation is easy to understand, because if it were complicated, how could it be offered to everyone? I'd love to try to answer any questions some of you might have about Christianity, no matter how small, if I can. ( not saying that I'm a great theological scholor or anything, I'm just offering what I do know)
it's not that i don't like church i just don't find it very exciting
however my nan is quite deeply religious and is always helping out and going to church
i'm an atheist
my friend's an aethiest
wow wallace05 man, i never belived you as athestic in my relegion, we dont have to study the "bible" we read it to learn but we dont beleve like reading 30 pager per day or something is gonna save you. also, we know there is alot more evil than good in the world very unfortinally to us, if your are a person that has alot of anger,gelousy,unforgiveness,bully,heartless, sadness, well you go to "the bad place". to us, we say that earth is a place for you to learn about what is right. you suffer to learn , things happen to you so you can learn from them. you might think that your pain is alway bigger than other wich is very common but is not. unlighted spirits( those who wonder earth or are in a "the bad place" situation) are suffering much more por example if you kill yourself, when you wake up you will still feel much pain,you will feel the insects eating your body and other things. there is so much i can say but i dont wanna make it to long so you wont be lazy to read like i usaly am
wallace05man, what do you beleve in if its not god? all that is science maybe?
no-one knows how the world was made, i just don't believe that it was god.
fair enough
well, i dont belive in that "god made the world in 6 days and in the 7th re rested" baloney either, but i do belive in him. to me, the world was made by the big bang and pereod
i believe in god however im not sure whether i believe he created EVERYTHING!
give me an example of what you think he didnt create mrtecnotrousers
im not saying he didn't create it but i mainly mean the world
I'm not trying to be critical, but to me, God creating the world seems a lot more plausible than a random explosion.
im not really sure wen it comes to that
ill explain what i beleve from the big bang and god: the big bang wasnt a random explosion, it was a humongouse amount of gas, water and some third substance i dont remember.for billions and billiong of years, that gigantic "cloud"'s substancies where pressed tightly against eachother causing an explosion called the big bang.they where all very small particles. i think what god created was the big bang itself
Still, there are some scientific discrepancies ( sorry for the big words, I mean that scientifically it's not all that correct) in the big Bang theory. If I'm going to beleive that God created the world, I beleive He did it the way he said He did. I beleive in the creation story, because I'm a Christian and it's part of what we beleive, but even if I were not a Christian, I would beleive in God creating the world the way it says in the Bible because of out of all the stories of how the world was created, that one makes the most sense to me.
well beive what you think is right loveshaun19. like in by "church" we say: when you die, jesus will not ask your relegion.he will asked what you beleve in and what did you do in life
Um maybe you misunderstood me. I don't want to offend anyone, but the Bible states that you have to beleive that Jesus is God, that He came to earth, Died, rose again, and is still God today to get into heaven. When you do that, you become a Christian That is the basic belief of Christians There is only one way. It is important what you beleive. Good works do not get you into heaven.
i'm not trying to be rude, but is there scientific proof that god existed?
No, but there's also no scientific proof for some scientific theories. They are called theories because that's all they are. So if there is no proof for either, why can't any be equally valid without getting criticised? Yes, the universe is expanding, but no one knows what causes this phenomena, the big bang is just one theory to explain this, and how we were created.
I believe that science maybe created everything and the big bang definably has more proof and realistic, however I think that it is weird how we are humans.. someone must have like created us or or designed us or something. There must be a reason why humans are so developed like having eyes to see, legs to walk, arms and mouths to speak... something major must have happened so this is why I am not sure whether god is real or not.
In response to Wallace05man, A lot of people have asked that question and I've thought about that question to and how to answer it. So this is how I've( and others) have thought it out.
There's a famous Christian comedian who once said that he didn't want a God that he could fully understand. I was a bit confused by this at first, but then he went on to explain something that I'd never thought of before. He said that if God was within the understanding of his thought capacity, he couldn't be all that great, considering that he ( the comedian) wasn't the smartest guy in the world. To him, the fact that God was beyond his comprehension was proof that there was a God, who was greater than him.
So, I don't know if there is " scientific" proof that God exists, but to me, I don't find that strictly necessary. If my God is someone I can understand completely, then that means He's no better than me. People always say that because in Christianity there are a couple of things that Christians can't explain fully/scientifically, that it must not be true or people must have just made it up. To me the fact that I can't fully explain everything proves to me that it is true. Sceince, after all, is a human way of learnig or discovering things that we didn't know before. At some point, Christianity can't be explained with science. Does that mean that Christianity is disproved or false? No, It is behond the grasp of science. If I understood exactly how Jesus rose again after he died, How would it be a miricle? If I understood everything about the Trinity ( God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are one) how am I not greater than God? If I were albe to have answers for everything in my faith, I would be suspicious that it was just a made-up story, or , put a different way something that I could have made up myself. The unexplained aspects of Christianity ( by the worlds standards) are to me the best proof that it is true, or that God exists.
However, if we are going to rely on science, My point would be, look at the complexity of a human body, or just a strand of DNA. Humans only started to discover the importance or existence of DNA in recent times. Now humans didn't invent DNA, they could only discover it. DNA is so complex it marvels the mind. However take the whole human body, and think that something created that all at once. To me , that is proof that something more intelligent than us had to create us. ( God)
One final point on the scientific existence of God ( and I'm not trying to be rude either I'm just stating my beliefs), Before we discovered DNA, or the planets, or before Columbus discovered America, before it was proven with " scientific" evidence, did all these things exist? Imagine this scenario If Columbus, ( or anybody ) never discovered America, If no one ever went to America and proved there was more out there, would that mean that America did not exist?
I'm a Christian, too, and I think LoveShaun19 is right. I can't add to much she's said; she's presented her facts very well. If you have any questions, ask me too. I'm also available on Shaun the Sheep, if you'd rather ask me there.
loveshaun can u write a bit less next time?
i prefer to read shorter messages or at least in smaller sections so i don't hav 2 read it all at the same time
but i understand ur view
Sorry, If I was better with words I could be shorter. I just wanted to be sure I presented my view thouroughly. I'll try to make it easier to read next time.
ok thanks
to my beleves loveshaun19, goodness and pureness are the only things that coud get you into the heaven we call our home, accualy there is many types of heaven in our relegion and many tipes of "the bad place that they consider swearing in the site" that we call umbral.to us, you dont stay in the umbral forever,just the exact nececary amount of time you have to "pay" suffering there.there are many levels and you are putted in the exact level that your suppoise to be in.to us, the discription is not that that fiery place with little demons,its a cold,black,lightless,heartless,muddy place that you feel hungry and alone.
and wallace05man,theres is a saying that is like this:sometimes seeing is beleving,and sometimes,the most real things in the world are the ones we cant see
Well I'm sorry puppylove, but I beleive that " The bad place" ( which, like you said, we can't say) is where you go if you don't beleive in Jesus and what he did. In the Bible it says it's eternal punishment, not temporary. In the Bible the discription is " lake of Fire", but the real thing that makes it " you know what" is eternal seperation from God.
well that the thing with bibles, there not the same.and peaple say that "man" has changed things in the bible buring time to wwin and get things por example there is a thing that peaple lie about giving money to get a house in heaven and i dont belive that baloney cause our home is not earth, theres no money there. you can only earn a house with years and years of helping with diverse things and stuff but like i said... this is a debate and i respect the fact that the bad place is eternal and you HAVE to belive in god or else...
Oooh, I like this thread already!
I am going to respond, but first, Puppylove, may I ask what particular faith tradition you come from?
I believ what loveshaun believes. That you cannot get to heaven through merit and good deeds, you have to go through Jesus, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life. The other placeis where you go if you have not been saved through Jesus.
P.s. does anyone else think its stupid how we can't say shell minus the s?

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and acceptance of using a microbicide (product that kills germs) gel to clean the genital area. Microbicide gel is used by hospital workers to clean their hands to kill germs. Researchers hope to use information from this study to conduct a larger study to determine if the microbicidal gel protects men against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Thirty healthy uncircumcised Kenyan men, 18 years and older, working in the fishing industry in Kisumu will be recruited. Participants will complete a questionnaire about their background and sexual practices. A researcher will conduct a detailed examination of the genital area with a magnifying glass. A blood and urine sample will be collected to test for infection. Each participant will use both the microbicidal gel and a placebo (contains no active ingredient) gel at different times during the study, and the results will be compared. Volunteers will participate up to 8 weeks.

Detailed Description:
In Kenya, the HIV/AIDS epidemic has significantly increased adult and child mortality. Current prevention options, including the ABC model (Abstinence, Be faithful and correct and consistent Condom use) have not been sufficient to curb the generalized HIV epidemic. The development of topical microbicides provides a potential new prevention option against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Despite widespread use of topical microbicides among U.S. servicemen during World Wars I & II to prevent STI, the current HIV agenda has thus far focused almost exclusively on microbicide research for intravaginal use by females. Research on use of topical microbicides on the male genitalia has only examined potential adverse effects on the penis of microbicides intended for intravaginal or rectal use. Further research is necessary to determine what formulations, what doses, and what types of topical antimicrobials might prove acceptable, and tolerable for external genital use by male sub-populations, and effective for preventing HIV/STI in men. This Phase 1 safety trial is the culmination of a stepwise series of studies examining male genital hygiene and safety and acceptance of an alcohol-based topical microbicide among Kenyan men. The purpose of this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial is to assess the safety and acceptability of 62% ethanol in emollient gel (intervention) and 15% ethanol in emollient gel (placebo), applied to the penis by men each morning and after every sexual exposure. The study population will include 30 healthy, uncircumcised Kenyan men working in the fishing industry. Participants will be randomly assigned to initial use of 1 of the 2 products for a 2-week interval. After a subsequent 2-week wash out period in which no topical gel will be used, the men will then cross over to use of the second product. The primary study objective is to assess the safety and toxicity of 62% and 15% ethanol in emollient gel on the penile epithelium and urethral mucosa. The secondary study objective is to assess the acceptability and compliance with the topical microbicide (62% ethanol) and placebo (15% ethanol) by men each morning and after each act of sexual intercourse. The primary study outcome measures include: self-reported urethral pain, urethral burning, penile itching, penile rash, penile blisters, penile ulceration or penile discharge at follow-up clinic visits on days 7, 14, 28, 35, 42 or 56; erythema (with or without induration), vesiculation, bullous reaction, and ulceration, of the penile shaft, foreskin, and glans, as observed by visual exam at follow-up clinic visits on days 7, 14, 28, 35, 42, or 56; erythema or ulceration of the urethral meatus, as observed by visual exam at follow-up clinic visits on days 7, 14, 28, 35, 42 or 56; and adverse events other than those listed as primary endpoints judged related to product use. The secondary study outcome measures are reported positive attributes (ease of use, increased pleasure during sex, positive feedback from primary sex partner) or negative attributes (difficulty of use, decreased pleasure during sex, negative feedback from primary sex partner) of the study products; reported willingness to use and recommend the products; and reported adherence with use of condoms and of the topical microbicide. Each participant will take part in the study for up to 8 weeks, including the screening period. The entire study should be completed within 5-6 months.

SACKETS HARBOR Daves dog is dead, and after a few drinks with his buddy John, they concoct a scheme to have their revenge against the person responsible.
The revenge plan is at the center of the new dark comedy A Dogs Life, which began filming at the Lake Ontario Playhouse Thursday.
We all do the talking while were drunk about what we wouldve done and what we would do, well these guys are drunk enough to actually do it, said comedian Mark A. Riccadonna, who plays Dave. They go too far.
The role of John is played by comedian John T. Salmon.
The idea to make a movie at the club, on West Main Street, and in the village was kicked around for years between Mr. Riccadonna, who had performed at the playhouse for about a decade, and Michael R. Kinnie, who owns the space.
In addition to the bar, the crew will film in the clubs alleyway, and at the village home of Mr. Kinnies mother.
This whole area feels like being on a movie set, Mr. Riccadonna said.
Filling out the crew are comedian Angela P. Cobb, who in addition to playing Daves wife Helen held up a microphone during filming, and cinematographer Jim Gallagher.
The final challenge was getting everyone together in the village at the same time.
We finally nailed down the right date, said Mr. Kinnie, who also served as one of the films writers and directors. He said it had been about five years since the last film project, a mockumentary, was shot at the playhouse.
On Thursday, the crew worked around some first-day issues, memorizing lines and framing shots, along with the inaccuracy of Mr. Kinnie on the pool table for the opening of the introductory shot. Mr. Riccadonna admitted to being a little less prepared than he wouldve liked, as he missed some of the planning for the film following the recent death of his grandfather, who he said followed his career closely.
However, the filming slowly picked up steam in the afternoon as participants worked through their scenes. Mr. Riccadonna said the film was very funny and that audiences would be able to relate to the movies characters.
Filming will take place through the weekend. When finished, the 20-minute film is expected to be sent to multiple national film festivals.
The cast of the film will perform special comedy shows at 9 p.m. tonight and Saturday at the playhouse. More information about the shows can be found at www.playhousecomedy.com.
