Kristen Taylor: After working professionally for more than forty years, I recently retired from the Carbon School District. I am one of those extremely lucky people who loved my work, so my work also became my passion. I am still very interested in the success of both students and teachers. As a teacher, I had many opportunities to attend professional development trainings, work on school and district committees, participate at the state level as both a participant and a trainer, and even work on an international committee as part of my obligation for a grant from the International Reading Association which gave us the opportunity to review books and add them to our school libraries. I would bring this interest and experience to a position on our local school board. I recognize that schools, teachers, and parents face increasingly difficult challenges, but I also believe strongly in an old adage that says all of us are smarter than one of us. If we commit to work as a team, dedicate ourselves to compromise for a greater good, and always remember that students are truly our number one priority, we can maintain quality and improve education for all students. We must adhere to budgets, aggressively recruit highly qualified new teachers, and provide those new teachers with trained mentors. Finally, we must work to support a positive, affirmative workplace for all of our teachers, principals, and support staff. Young people need a quality education to face the challenges of the future. They need well-prepared teachers and a supportive community. They need all of us. I would appreciate your vote on Election Day.
My name is Melanie Fausett: I am a long-time resident of Carbon County who is invested in the community. My husband and I both graduated from Carbon High and went on to achieve higher education in nursing and pharmacy. I am a mother of 3 children who currently attend school in the Carbon County School District. It is my desire to serve on the School Board to represent the interest of all parents and ensure that we maintain a high standard for not only school officials, but also the students. I believe we need to be fiscally sound, as well as offer new innovative programs and curriculums to boost our educational opportunities and engage and motivate the students. I am actively involved in the community through various volunteer opportunities as well as my employment as a registered nurse with Rocky Mountain Hospice and The Castle Country Youth Center, that serves our high-risk youth. My ability to interact with and respect the opinions of others will enable me to work as a team with all members of the School Board. By understanding the historical make up and having knowledge of current practices of the school system, I will be able to offer suggestions and make decisions that are in the best interest of all stakeholders. I am confident that I can be objective and represent the views of parents as we work together to maintain a high quality of education for all students. I am excited at the possibility of serving the people of this great county. I am motivated to make positive change in our district and community. I want to bring fresh ideas and positive solutions to the Carbon School District by running for a School Board seat in District #2. Please take time to fill out the survey on my campaign website: melaniefausett.com. This will allow me to learn what your thoughts and concerns are. I look forward to receiving your vote on November 6th. Thank you for your support.
Jaynie Rae Nielsen: My husband, Lee, and I are parents of seven children ages 11 to 20: Jewelianna at Creekview Elementary, Jordan, Jason, Jonas at MHJH, Joshua at CHS, and Justin and Jaylee. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering with a minor in math. My husband, my children and I all play the piano and several instruments. We have lived in Price for 15 years while I've served as school volunteer, on several committees, and on the CSD School Board by request. I have served at several schools in art, band, choir, advanced math groups and a calculus tutor. I have served on several committees for hiring, planning, math and music, as well as being School Community Council member, Parent's Advisory Committee Chairman, PTA officer, and regional PTA treasurer. As school board member, I've had opportunities to serve on several committees including the USU educational, Price City improvement, Utah Math Core and music improvement committee. I have attended two state training sessions and negotiation training to serve twice on the negotiation committee. I am fortunate to be a stay-at-home mother that allows me the opportunity to spend needed hours at my children's schools. I am hard working, organized, open minded to see both sides of issues, and willing to stand behind my commitments. I have good ideas when something needs to be done and can see the job through. If elected, I know I could continue as an asset. The children of Carbon County are the greatest assets to our future. I want to create the best possible educational experience available. I would like to see Carbon County attract quality teachers that want to come and stay. I believe if our teachers are happy, our children's education improves and learning flourishes. In my time as volunteer, I have learned the importance of keeping and retaining quality teachers. Therefore, I would like the opportunity to improve the educational experiences for the children, parents, and teachers of Carbon County.

Hello , I'm new in php and here too. I'm trying to write a code using php and html to load another websites in a frame. I tried using file_get_contents and readfile but it just load the home page of secondary website and after starting to surf its not using get_contents anymore.
for example , i tried to get_contents for the website: cmyip[dot]com.it shows my hosting IP located in germany 5.112.xxx.xxx in frame , then I start to surf in this html frame and get back to cmyip again. then i'll see my local computer IP.
I want to write a code to make all surfing in the html frame using my hosting IP. its just like a proxy for changing IP.
I dont wanna use any written script like glype or PHProxy.
I also tried to use:
function load();
$url = file_get_contents($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
echo $url;
$url = file_get_contents($_SERVER['HTML_REFERER']);
echo $url;
but i dont know how to use this codes.

|Congressional mailings questioned: Foxx defends $326,642 expense
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 05 June 2007 05:49
In yesterday's Winston Salem Journal, congressional spending was questioned, including decisions made by local Republican Congressmen Virginia Foxx and Patrick McHenry.Congressional delegates spent more than $1 million on bulk mailings to constituents during the last session of Congress. The mailings were sent using the congressional franking privilege, which allows representatives to use their signature instead of a stamp. While on average, House members spent $55,000 each on mail using the privilege, Banner Elk's Virginia Foxx sent more than 1.6 million pieces of mail, totaling $326,642. She defended the expense yesterday. According to Foxx, a certain amount of money is allotted for congressmen to spend. She does not regret her choice to devote so much to bulk mailings.
Foxx said she could spend the money on employee trips and furniture, but she chooses to spend it on communicating with constituents.
All mailings are approved by a non-partisan group in Congress. She felt the article was misleading, implying she could write whatever she wanted.
It's her best way of getting in touch with her constituents, she said.
Information on bills being passed and Foxx's stance on the issues, as well as surveys about how constituents feel are among mailings, Foxx said.
Foxx also mentioned her staff salaries are some of the lowest in the state.Congressman Patrick McHenry came in second in bulk mail spending totals, with 762,507 pieces of mail at a cost of $132,963. The Congressman was not available for comment.

DEKALB JUNCTION Voters in the Hermon-DeKalb Central School District will be asked to approve a $9,046,426 budget that would increase the tax levy by 3.48 percent next school year.
When they head to the polls May 21, residents also will select two candidates from a field of three to fill open Board of Education seats.
Earlier this week, the board adopted the 2013-14 spending plan and agreed to make roughly $280,000 worth of cuts.
The $9,046,426 proposed budget is $54,078, or 0.59 percent, lower than this years $9,100,504.
Despite the lower budget, Superintendent Ann M. Adams said the tax levy is increasing because the district does not have as much money available to roll over next year.
In this years budget, $1,086,248 was applied to offset property taxes, compared with the $657,312 that has been allocated for the 2013-14 spending plan.
This is local money thats on hand, Ms. Adams said. This is our projection of what we will have at the end of the year to roll over.
The districts state aid revenue is projected to increase from this years roughly $5.8 million to approximately $6.1 million next year.
The state tax cap would have allowed the district to increase the tax levy by 6.11 percent, but the board decided to keep the tax levy increase below that figure.
The board agreed to several cuts, including two teaching positions through attrition, a half-time art teacher who works for St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and a 0.4 speech therapist position.
A full-time custodial job will be eliminated through retirement. Savings also will be achieved by cutting 0.1 of a bus mechanic and the portion of library books not covered by state funding, and eliminating the purchase of a partition door for the gymnasium.
The district no longer will provide free milk for snack time in prekindergarten, kindergarten and first grade.
Also, graduating seniors will have to purchase their own caps and gowns starting next year.
In the Board of Education election, incumbent Crystal Simmons is running alongside newcomers Raeleen M. Willard and Jill Davis. Incumbent Robert Hance is not running for another term. Both seats carry five-year terms.

Scientists from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research are bringing stem cell science directly to cancer patients with an exciting new clinical trial scheduled to begin in early 2014. Drs. Dennis Slamon and Zev Wainberg are recipients of the Disease Team Therapy Development III Award, a grant funded by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state stem cell agency. Slamon and Wainberg's phase I clinical trial will test a new drug that targets cancer stem cells and has been approved to begin enrolling patients in the U.S. and Canada.
The announcement of the award came on December 12, 2013 at the meeting of the CIRM Independent Citizen's Oversight Committee (ICOC) at the Luxe Hotel in Los Angeles.
The project builds on Slamon's previous work, partially funded by CIRM, to develop a drug that targets tumor initiating cells, that was conducted with Wainberg, also assistant professor of hematology/oncology at UCLA, and Dr. Tak Mak, director, Campbell Family Institute of the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada.
Slamon, renowned for his research that led to the development of Herceptin, the first FDA-approved targeted therapy for breast cancer, is the director of clinical and translational research at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, and professor, chief and executive vice chair for research in the division of hematology/oncology.
With investigational new drug approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada, the Canadian government's therapeutic regulatory agency, this trial is an international effort to bring leading-edge stem cell science to patients.
"We are delighted to receive this CIRM grant that will drive our translational research from the laboratory to the clinic," Slamon said. "It will allow us to test our targeted drug in a phase I clinical trial."
The trial is based on the evidence built over the last decade for what has become known as the cancer stem cell hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, cancer stem cells are the main drivers of tumor growth and are also resistant to standard cancer treatments. One view is that cancer stem cells inhabit a "niche" that prevents cancer drugs from reaching them. Another view is that tumors can become resistant to therapy by a process called cell fate decision, by which some tumor cells are killed by therapy and others become cancer stem cells. These cancer stem cells are believed to be capable of self-renewal and repopulation of tumor cells, resulting in the recurrence of cancer.
The target of the new drug is an enzyme in cancer stem cells and tumor cells called Polo-like kinase 4, which was selected because blocking it negatively affects cell fate decisions associated with cancer stem cell renewal and tumor cell growth, thus stopping tumor growth.
This potential anti-cancer drug is now ready to be tested in humans for the first time. "Our goal is to test this novel agent in patients in order to establish safety and then to proceed quickly to rapid clinical development," said Wainberg. "We are excited to continue this academic collaboration with our Canadian colleagues to test this drug in humans for the first time."
Drs. Slamon, Wainberg, Mak and colleagues will also look for biological indications, called biomarkers, that researchers can use to tell if and how the drug is working.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2013, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 12 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 14 consecutive years.

Roadrunner Records group Opeth has announced that the release of their highly anticipated eleventh studio album, "PALE COMMUNION" has been reslated for AUGUST 26TH.
"Many of you have heard the rumours already and we can now confirm that the album release has indeed been pushed back to late August," commented Opeth frontman, Mikael Åkerfeldt. "Several circumstances prevented the band from delivering essential basic tools to Roadrunner in time which are needed to set up the album release properly and release schedule conflicts made us mutually decide on August instead of June."
"PALE COMMUNION," which was produced by the band's very own Mikael Åkerfeldt and mixed by longtime collaborator and Porcupine Tree frontman/guitarist Steven Wilson, will be heralded by the lead single, "Cusp of Eternity" and available for pre-order starting Tuesday, June 3RD. Pre-orders for "PALE COMMUNION" made via the iTunes Store will receive an instant download of "Cusp of Eternity" as well as second album track to be released on July 15TH.

With the SceneTap app launching here in just a month, you might want to get ready to use it in order to find out which clubs and bars are going to be worth your time on the weekends. The app will allow for users of Android and unlocked iphone 4 to take a look at the bars before they even go out on the town. They will be looking at different bars across the area using cameras that are already set up to give users an idea of what the crowd might look like on the bar on any given night, given users a real look at the demographics of the bar before they go.
They are also adding some commentary into the app. To downplay the privacy concerns, they will not be providing any of the real steams from the bars so you do not have to worry about the privacy. You should also know that nothing is being recorded by the app. In the beginning, the app will look to cover about 50 clubs in the beginning in the Chicago area.
They are expected to push this farther and cover more clubs in the future, but it will be a slow crawl from one pub to another, as some users of the app will likely do. The app has been heralded as a new type of social network that focuses only on nightlife. You can bet that they will look to also take a look at user reviews of different bars to get an idea of what works and what does not. This is one app that will probably get quite a bit of use from cell phone users such as Motorola Cliq unlocked, Samsung Captivate, etc. that are looking to go out on the weekends. They provide some really interesting stats about what is out there and what kind of people are at each of the bars.

Certified Fair Junkie
The thing about fairs is that there's a story behind everything. Somebody made or grew everything on display. Somebody practiced long and hard to perform whatever is being performed. A fair showcases human achievement, months or years of work condensed into a few days in a small, walkable place.
Take the work of Clifford Arno of Price, for example. He's a woodworker for whom detail makes a difference. When he saws and turns and sands something like the model steam locomotive on display this year, he makes sure the bell on top will swing. The coal car behind is loaded with real coal.
"And look at this," he says, lifting a little wooden tractor he made to scale from the real thing. He pushes down on the seat and shows that it moves on springs like a real one. Model moving parts on the back where implements are attached actually move.
Arno has brought other hand-made items to the fair again this year. He estimates that over the years he has displayed about 100 of the models he has made. When asked about what kinds of tools he uses to achieve the minute detail, he replies, "Everything. It takes lots of tools but it takes even more patience. People ask me how much I'd sell something for, and I figure if I sold something for $300, that would be a dollar an hour. Who works for a dollar an hour?"
He has time to pay attention to detail and spend hours in his shop now. He retired after 22 years at Plateau Mine, and and decided to keep his hands busy doing what he always wanted to do.
Arno does not have much patience, though, with models that don't show attention to detail. "You can go to San Francisco and see people paying $40 or $50 for a cable car," he explains. "There's no detail. These things look like cable cars but that's all. Maybe they cost three cents to make."
Arno's work, along with other home arts exhibits, flowers and garden produce will be on display today through Saturday.
The full schedule of events is on page B8 of today's newspaper.

It does help to read the instructions carefully!! Just realised the nameserver should be in /etc/resolv.conf and not in interfaces!!
I am trying to set up an router using Ubuntu Server 11.10. I edited the interfaces file as follows (replacing the xxx with the relevant details!)
# set up the local loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Setup External interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
After saving the file I tried to restart the networking
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
I then get the message

If I restore the backup interfaces file it reads it!

Now I have the next problem - ip forwarding an masquerading. I have edited created nat.sh as per instructions in the Router documentation.

I can access the internet from the linux server, I can "see" the test client from the server and "see" the server from the clint, but cannot access the internet from the client. Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated!
You need to add a rule for the initial package, you have hte RELATED/ESTABLISHED covered, but what about the NEW flag ??

Hi Redhead could you be more specific ie the exats code? I am totally new to this sort of thing and have been throwen in the deepend with this and floundering some what!
I eventually used the code found in this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119787 and it is working.
Now how do I mark it as solved?
Well, just as a teaser, her is a firewall script I created some years ago, it is no longer in use, since some of the rules in it no longer apply to iptables, but I use it as a reference for someone to read through it and get an idear of how/what thoughts go into setting up a firewall.
And I've marked the thread with solved, on the OPs request.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The students we're profiling this week will have one of the best answers to the question "How did you spend your summer vacation?" About 35 teens from the DC area can say "Training with the FBI!"
What's it like to be an FBI agent? Monica Diaz Lopez and JaQuan Frazier have a pretty good idea. They got to interrogate a fictional suspect after a mock robbery.
Frazier asked the suspect, "What were you doing for those couple minutes, because I just saw you posting right here, instead of you going into the store you were just posting?"
For 5 days, the teens from Greater DC get to train with real FBI agents at their real training facility in Quantico, Va. In the fictional town called Hogans Alley, students get all the FBI gear and they learn the art of interrogating a suspect, calming a victim and a lot more.
Aslo, according to Special Agent William "Woody" Woodson,"How to process a robbery scene, to include packaging evidence taking latent fingerprints utilizing gloves, so really they know exactly what to do."
For students like JaQuan Frazier, whose been closer than he'd like to a real crime scene, learning these tactics is more than just a cool week a summer camp -- it hits close to home.
Frazier shared, "The South Capitol shooting, an assault rifle shot up basically the whole block. So that was down the street from my house, so that was more of the crime that happened around there."
So making a positive difference means a lot to a the teens, which is exactly what the FBI agents in charge of the camp love to hear.
Eddie Winkley, FBI Supervisor of Special Agent, said, "We're hoping they are inspired to be special agents one day."
Monica Diaz-Lopez, who is a senior at Woodrow Wilson High School, told us,"It's really interesting. I never thought I saw my self working with the FBI but it could happen."
"I would love to be an FBI Agent. I love investigating. my mom always told me I talk too much. She said I should put it to use. I'm on the debate team, and this was like a practice so and I'm enjoying it, so yes, I would," said Frazier, who is a senior at Cesar Chavez High School.

Our OA Chapter is sending two crews to Philmont this summer and one of our leaders put together an equipment list for the parents. http://troop10.scouter.net/highAd/Philmont Equipment List.pdfCurtis WareTroop 10http://oachapter.org
Hi Curtis. Thanks for the post. Here's another Philmont list that our 2 crews are using this summer. http://troop945.com/Forms/Philmont08_Gear_Review.pdfWe have tried to take a lighter weight approach for all of our crew members. I think that even with 4 days of food and 2 liters of water we should keep each guy's pack at no more than 30 pounds.Thanks to Ryan and BPL for allowing us to share Philmont specific info here. I hope can keep these discussions on topic.
Looks like a good general light gear list. Watch the weight on the sleeping bag (~2lbs), pack (<2lbs, rain gear, & group gear (tents, pots, stoves, etc.)
Below are a few ideas I had after reviewing your lists. Feel free to take or leave any of them as you see fit. I hope some of it helps, even if in a small way. Oh, and good luck on your journey!You both have pretty solid lists, IMHO. I'm glad you're asking the boys to carry personal First Aid kits - my troop's 2004 and 2006 crews were discouraged from same in lieu of a crew kit. Personally, I'm not excited about digging into the crew kit for minor issues.I'm also recc. that my crews wear SPF clothing and wide brimmed hats vs. using sun screen. Sun screen is heavy, messy, and takes lots of time to re-apply. The SPF ratings have been proven to be massively overstated. I'm a big fan of the EMS long sleeved, T1 shirts - I've worn them in East Coast summer heat without issue.Like Doug, I recc. taking a hard look at the Crew Gear. Philmont gear looks super heavy to me, especially the Chef's kits. Instead, we'll be using MSR reactors and turkey bags this year.I have not had success keeping clothes dry in zip locks for trips that last even as long as a week. They tend to break down. I know they're expensive, but the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil dry bags are super light and last a very long time.I'm not sure what the contact solution is for. If it's wound irrigation, I get it. If it's for contacts, my recc. is to have the boys leave those at home. Trail conditions aren't super sanitary, and I really don't want to have to fish one out of a boys eye in a medical situation.My final tip is to get the trekking maps and plot your course, including water re-fill optys before you go or decide how much water carrying capacity you'll need. We're going to deviate from our suggested route to hit Big Red on the way from Phillips Camp to Cito. I haven't mapped it out, but 4 liters per person isn't goiong to cut it. My best guess without doing the math is 6, it could be more. That's one reason why I'm advocating bladders over Nalgenes for the bulk of our personal water carrying capacity. I've also been using a used Gator-Aid bottle in lieu of a Nalgene for 3 season camping - cheaper, and lighter, but still darn tough (I've used one for my last 150+ miles and not one problem).
How many of you take along the collapsable 2.5 gallon water containers? We do this in the Sierras with scouts (never when I pack with family, etc.). Just wondering if it is advisable at Philmont.
It depends on where you are camping. If you at at 2 dry trail camps in a row, you likely need to have the extra capacity. It's also unlikely 2.5 gals will do it for a full crew, but all this depends on how long your at dry camps for.We're taking a 4 and 6 gallon as a cya. You can always partially fill them up, or if you don't need them it's cheap insurance.Does that help?See you there in 15 days,MikeB
Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll be suggesting we take a few collapsables. We're used to doing it anyway. Probably take 2 2.5 gallon and 1 5 gallon.Thanks again.Scott
Albert: I'm not sure which route you're considering from Phillips Camp to Cito via Big Red but I don't think there'd be much distance penalty if you routed through Red Hills camp ... water available there. Advisory: in 2007 the trail down Big Red towards Comanche Pass faded to nil ... providing our scouts the bush whacking experience they'd been looking for. Nothing to avoid though, it was a simple enough real life orienteering problem that they enjoyed ... one more step up the skill/experience based confidence ladder.All: Ditto Albert's endorsement of reused 1 liter soda/water/gator bottles. They are more than tough enough, weigh only about 2oz each, low cost and two added advantages are 1) it is easier to distribute the water weight to everyone (avoids the "it isn't my turn" and "I don't have room in my pack" arguments) 2) even empty they use up volume in the too large packs many (most) folks buy, reducing the temptation to fill them with heavier things
Edited by jcolten on 06/15/2008 10:17:14 MDT.
Mike, Jim, Scott,For our crews we have each hiker carry a minimum of 2 x 1 liter bottles plus a 2.5 liter Platypus. So, we are not planning on carrying the 2.5 gal container as we have a gallon+ of capacity per camper. Our dry camp is also at Phillips Camp. Is that enough to get by? If we cook before our climb will we be carrying enough water?Another question about Phillips Camp, how exposed is that site at 11K+? What has been your experience with weather especially lightning?Thanks
We went over Phillips but did not camp there. I'd have felt comfortable camping on Phillips with 4.5 liters each if eating the wet meal at the previous water source. But everywhere we went we heard that Philmont was greener in 2007 than any of the previous 30 years so I don't know if my experience was typical.Phillip's peak was just short of the tree line with a few small trees. The campsite is slightly lower. We paused to see Mt. Phillips camp while a crew member flew the pilot-to-bombardier ... it was in a real forest. Was not a windy day though so I guess I don't know about exposure. I did speak to some southern troops who camped there and suffered from the cold although based on what we experienced camped at Clear Creek I doubt it was colder than 40F that morning. Philmont is quite safety conscious so I suspect if lightning was problematic the campsite would not be there.
We camped at Philips in '01. Will be back in two weeks :)The summit is pretty flat with lots of rocks on the west slope - they make great chair for watching the sunset.The actual campsite is a few hundred yards to the east of and a bit below the summit back in the trees. It's no more exposed than many campsites. Had to hunt for the bear bag cable a bit among the trees, but it was a nice site quiet overall. With the altitude it did cool off quickly once the sun was gone. Woke up to frost and mule deer in camp.I expect there is will be some snow in the shade for a while this year.We had supper for lunch at Clear Creek before heading up from the west side. Carried 3-4 liters of water each and then refilled the next morning at Cyphers.Have fun!--Rich
We were scheduled to camp on Mt. Phillips but they re-routed us the night before to Clear Creek due to excessive snow on the mountain. It was unfortunate because there were at least 3 crews who still got to camp there the same night. There were some deep snow banks but most of the area was clear. We had each person bring an extra 2 liter Platypus container in addition to at least 3 liter personal capacity. This enabled us to avoid the Philmont 2 1/2 gallon collapsable container and to equally distribute the extra water carry. We talked about cooking the dinner for lunch to avoid extra water, but ended up trading the dinner for another lunch to avoid the cooking and because we were short on time since we were hiking from Lamberts Mine. Phillips was cool and breezy but not excessively cold on 6/17, but it will most likely be your coldest campsite.John
We had a variety of collapsible bottles - (3) 2.5L, (2) 3.0L, and (3) 4.0L. It helped spreead the load around.Another possibility is to eat lunch at Clear Creek. Eat the following day's lunch for dinner up on Mt. Phillips. Then eat two suppers the following day when you have more water and time available for cooking.We didn't do this, but a Venture crew that had our same itinerary did this and it worked out better for them than taking the extra time at Clear Creek to cook before climbing Mt. Phillips. The time we spent cooking, they spent doing program activities at Clear Creek.

No. 25 Mens Soccer Closes Out Regular Season at Providence
The contest will be a battle for seeding in next week's BIG EAST Men's Soccer Championship. Entering the match, Providence is in fourth place in the standings at 15 points while Creighton stands in fifth place with 13. Both teams secured a spot in the tournament with conference wins on Saturday.
Only the top six teams make the BIG EAST Men's Soccer Championship that begins at campus sites on Nov. 12. The No. 3 seed will host the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 seed will host the No. 5 seed in the opening round. The top two seeds will receive byes to the semifinals.
Creighton (9-6-2, 4-3-1 BIG EAST) could finish as high as No. 3 with some help and would secure the No. 4 seed with a victory on Friday. A loss or a tie would lock the Bluejays into the fifth seed of the Championship. Similar scenarios are true for Providence (5-3-0, 10-4-2 BIG EAST). A win or tie by the Friars secures at least the No. 4 seed, a loss puts PC at No. 5.
To finish as the No. 3 seed the Jays would need a win, a Marquette loss or tie, a Xavier win and a Georgetown loss. CU and GU would tie for third in that scenario at 18 points. Since the teams tied in the regular season the next tiebreaker procedure is head-to-head against the top team, which is XU in this case. Creighton defeated Xavier while the Hoyas fell to the Musketeers this season, giving CU the third seed.
The Bluejays closed out their regular-season home schedule Saturday with a convincing 5-1 win over DePaul. CU blanked Drake 2-0 earlier in the week. With the pair of wins, the Jays re-entered the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) at No. 25 this week. Creighton is 2-4-1 in true road contests this season including a 1-2-1 mark in conference.
In the latest NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released Monday, Creighton moved up one slot to No. 15 overall after a pair of wins. The RPI is one of the primary tools utilized by the NCAA for tournament team selections and seeding. The Jays are one of eight BIG EAST teams ranked among the top 64 this week. Providence is No. 36 in this week's RPI.
The Friars enter the weekend with a 4-2-2 record at home. Providence defeated Butler 3-2 at home on Saturday. PC started the 2013 campaign undefeated (5-0-2) before a loss to Virginia in late September. Since then the Friars are 5-4-0 and have toggled between a win and a loss in each of their last seven matches.
PC's Julian Gressel leads the Friar attack this season with four goals and 12 points on the year. Anthony Baumann is second with three goals and eight points. Goalie Keasel Broome has played in all 16 matches for Providence this season compiling a record of 10-4-2 and a goals against average of 1.07.

Scouting the Creighton Bluejays (9-6-2, 4-3-1 BIG EAST)
Creighton secured a spot in the 2013 BIG EAST Men's Soccer Championship with a convincing 5-1 victory over DePaul last Saturday. Currently in fifth place, the Jays would move into fourth place with a victory in Providence on Friday.
While there is a slim chance for CU to move into a third seed with a victory and some help, the likelihood of a rematch with the Friars on Tuesday, Nov. 12 in a BIG EAST quarterfinal match is a strong possibility. With a win the Jays would host PC as the No. 4 seed in Omaha. A tie or loss by Creighton would lock it into the No. 5 slot and potentially a second consecutive match at Providence in four days.
After dropping out of the poll last week for the first time since 2010, the Creighton men's soccer team returns at No. 25 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released Tuesday, following home victories over Drake and DePaul.
In the latest NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released on Monday, Creighton ranks No. 15 overall, up one spot from a week ago. The RPI is one of the primary tools utilized by the NCAA for tournament team selections and seeding. Providence is ranked at No. 36 in the RPI.
After a scoreless streak of over 367 minutes the Bluejay offense has since found a spark, scoring 13 goals over the last four matches.
CU sophomore Timo Pitter has been a big part of the offense for the Jays. He claimed BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week honors on Monday after tallying six points last week with two goals and a pair of assists. Meanwhile, sophomore Eric DeJulio claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll after scoring his first goal of the season versus Drake.
Pitter leads the CU offense this year with seven goals and 18 points. Freshman Fabian Herbers is second on the squad with 10 points and a trio of goals. Eight Bluejays have already scored multiple goals this season.
In net, junior Alex Bolowich continues to keep the Jays in tight matches with a 1.20 goals against average this year and 52 saves. Bolowich has started 13 matches, including five overtime contests, for the Jays resulting in a 7-5-1 record. Sophomore Connor Sparrow has started four matches for Creighton compiling a 2-1-1 record and making 10 saves on the season.
Scouting the Providence Friars (10-4-2, 5-3-0 BIG EAST)
Providence enters the final weekend after defeating Butler 3-2 at home last Saturday to secure a spot in the BIG EAST Men's Soccer Championship. A win or tie by the Friars on Saturday secures at least the No. 4 seed, a loss puts PC at No. 5.
PC started the 2013 campaign undefeated (5-0-2) before a loss to Virginia in late September. Since then the Friars are 5-4-0 and have toggled between a win and a loss in each of their last seven matches.
The Friars own a 4-2-2 record at home this season, including a 2-2-0 mark in conference. Providence is No. 36 in the RPI this week.
Like Creighton, Providence has played several overtime matches this season resulting in a 2-0-2 record.
The Friars were picked seventh in the 10-team 2013 BIG EAST preseason poll. Providence finished last season at 4-10-2 overall and 2-6-0 in the BIG EAST.
PC's Julian Gressel leads the Friar attack this season with four goals and 12 points on the year. Anthony Baumann is second with three goals and eight points.
Goalie Keasel Broome has played in all 16 matches for Providence this season compiling a record of 10-4-2 and a goals against average of 1.07.
Pitter Claims BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week Honors
Creighton sophomore Timo Pitter claimed Offensive Player of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, the league office announced Monday. Sophomore Eric DeJulio also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
The Oberschwarzach, Germany native tallied six points last week en route to the honor. Pitter scored two goals, including the game winner, in a 5-1 victory over DePaul on Saturday. Earlier in the week Pitter assisted on both Bluejay goals in a 2-0 win over Drake. He currently leads the team with seven goals and 18 points this season.
Pitter's accolade marks the first Offensive Player of the Week honor by any Bluejay this season. The weekly conference award is his first since he claimed Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors last November. He has appeared on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll for his efforts on three previous times this year in weeks one, two and nine.
The honor roll achievement collected by DeJulio marks his first accolade from the BIG EAST. A Bluejay has claimed a spot on the conference weekly honor roll in seven of ten weeks this season.
DeJulio scored his first goal of the season versus Drake, the second of his career, for the game-winning score. He played all 180 minutes on defense for the Jays. DeJulio and his fellow defenders combined to allow just one goal over two matches last week.
Tough Slate
Creighton is the No. 15 team in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released Monday, as the Jays conclude an extremely tough schedule this season. In fact the NCAA rates the Jays' strength of schedule at No. 8 this week.
Fourteen of Creighton's 17 opponents this year are among the top 64 in the latest RPI that ranks all 203 NCAA Division I squads. In other words the Bluejays' schedule has consisted of almost one-fourth of the top 64 teams in the nation. Seven of those 16 foes also received votes in the latest NSCAA Top 25 released Tuesday.
Eight of the 10 programs in the BIG EAST conference rank among the top 64 in the RPI this week.
Creighton recently ended a stretch that began in late September in which the Jays faced seven squads in a row that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season in a span of just under a month. CU completed that arduous stretch with a mark of 2-3-2.
Creighton is 2-1-1 against teams ranked in the top 25 at the time of the match including wins over then-No. 14 Tulsa and then-No. 7 St. John's to go with a tie at then-No. 12 Georgetown. CU fell at No. 22 Saint Louis 1-0 on Oct. 2.
Goal Explosion
Since a CU scoreless streak of over 367 minutes last month, the Bluejays' offense has found a spark by scoring 13 goals over the last four matches. The thirteen tallies account for slightly less than half of CU's offensive scoring this season of 29 total goals.
In a convincing 5-1 victory over DePaul on Saturday, the Bluejays' five tallies marked the most scored by CU since a 5-0 victory at UMKC on Aug. 31, 2011. CU scored three first-half goals to roll over the Blue Demons.
The week prior the Jays scored three goals after halftime to knock off Butler, the most tallies since the second stanza of the Bluejays' 4-2 victory over Washington in an NCAA Second Round match in Omaha last Nov. 18.
Jays Rank Fifth in Attendance
With 26,752 fans attending matches this season, Creighton ranks fifth nationally in raw attendance according to latest numbers from the NCAA on Monday. The Jays move up to second in average attendance at 2,952 only behind Maryland (3,100).
Over 5,200 fans witnessed Creighton's 1-0 double-overtime defeat of No. 7 St. John's in the Jays' BIG EAST debut on Sept. 21 at Morrison Stadium. The crowd of 5,282 ranked as the sixth-largest crowd ever to attend a collegiate match at the Bluejays' home.
The total edged out a contingent of 5,102 Bluejay faithful that witnessed CU defeat Columbia 3-1 earlier this season on Sept. 6. With the win, Creighton is now 5-7-1 in front of 5,000-plus fans since 2000.
At then-No. 22 Saint Louis on Oct. 2, 3,070 fans packed Hermann Stadium to watch the Bluejays battle the Billikens. It marked the largest crowd in a regular-season true road contest to see the Jays play since 5,648 fans saw CU visit then-No. 3 Maryland on Sept. 30, 2011.
Last year on Sept. 14, then-No. 2 Creighton fell 2-1 to then-No. 14 Old Dominion in front of 6,848 fans – the top home crowd all-time at Morrison Stadium.
CU Defense vs. the BIG EAST
Prior to last week, Creighton had allowed just four goals through its first five BIG EAST matches this season.
On Oct. 23, Butler was the first BIG EAST squad to score multiple goals on the Bluejays this season. Then three days later, Seton Hall became the first BIG EAST squad to post three goals against CU.
That slew of five goals followed just one score against CU in each of its prior two league contests - a 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova on Oct. 19 and a 1-0 setback at Marquette on Oct. 12. DePaul also converted a single score on a controversial penalty kick on Nov. 2.
CU blanked its first three league foes including Xavier 2-0 on Oct. 5. Earlier CU tied then-No. 12 Georgetown in a scoreless draw on Sept. 28. The Jays knocked off then-No. 7 St. John's 1-0 in double overtime a week prior on Sept. 21.
The Jays have allowed only 12 total goals to conference foes in the past three seasons, with 10 of the 12 occurring on the road.
Creighton's 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova Oct. 19 snapped a 12-match CU unbeaten streak at Morrison Stadium dating back to last fall when the Bluejays fell 3-1 to Saint Louis on Sept. 22. After two home victories last week, Creighton is now 13-1-1 in its last 15 home matches.
The downfall to VU marked the first home loss in a conference match inside Morrison Stadium in almost three years - since a 2-1 loss to Bradley on Nov. 6, 2010.
CU is 11-1-0 against conference foes at home since then – including 10 consecutive shutout victories before the loss to the Wildcats.
The Bluejays' 1-0 double-overtime victory over No. 7 St. John's on Sept. 21 lifted Creighton's record to 22-3-2 all-time against Top 25 opponents visiting Morrison Stadium.
Going the Distance
After playing a 0-0 tie at No. 12 Georgetown on Sept. 28, the Bluejays set a new program record by playing in in five consecutive double overtime contests.
Jays Claim Program Win No. 400
Creighton secured the program's 400th all-time victory on Sept. 21 after a 1-0 double-overtime decision against No. 7 St. John's. The Jays currently boast an all-time record of 404-160-60 since their first season in 1979.
Thrilling BIG EAST Debut
The Bluejays claimed a 1-0 double overtime victory in their BIG EAST conference debut against No. 7 St. John's on Sept. 21 inside Morrison Stadium. Creighton stands at 2-0 all-time in conference debuts; the Jays edged Bradley 2-1 in their Missouri Valley Conference opener on Oct. 18, 1991.
Cutting It Close
Creighton's 3-2 loss at Seton Hall on Oct. 26 marked the Jays' ninth one-goal decision to go along with two ties this season. CU is 15-8 in games decided by one goal since the beginning of 2012.
Creighton is 2-2-2 in overtime matches this season following a 1-0 downfall to Villanova on Oct. 19, a scoreless tie at then-No. 12 Georgetown, a 2-2 tie versus Michigan State and 1-0 victory over then-No. 7 St. John's in September.
CU suffered a 3-2 setback to William & Mary and clinched a 2-1 win at Old Dominion earlier this season at the Stihl Classic, both in overtime. The Jays went undefeated at 3-0-3 in extra time last season.
One Goal to Nil
Following CU's 1-0 setback against Villanova on Oct. 19, Creighton has won 13 of its previous 18 matches ending in a 1-0 score, including a 7-1 ledger in 2012 contests.
Recent Overtime Perfection Halted
Prior to the 3-2 setback to William & Mary on Sept. 15, the Jays had not suffered an overtime loss in 16 matches dating back to a 3-2 setback in extra time to SMU on Sept. 17, 2010, at the Hotels at Grand Prairie Classic.
Before the overtime loss to William & Mary, Creighton boasted a 10-0-6 overtime record since that 2010 match, including the victory over Old Dominion on Sept. 13. The Jays had kept opponents scoreless in overtime for over 234 straight minutes before the Tribe scored its game winner.
Jays Achieve No. 1 Ranking for the First Time in 14 Years
Following a 3-1 victory over Columbia on Sept. 6, Creighton became the top squad in the nation according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released Sept. 10.
It marked the Jays' first time back in the top spot since September 1999. Creighton ranked as high as No. 2 in each of the past three seasons, including earlier this fall.
Jays' History When Perched at No. 1
After a 1-1 split against host Old Dominion and William & Mary at the Stihl Classic Sept. 13-15, Creighton now boasts a 9-2-1 record all-time as the top-ranked team in the NSCAA poll. After a double-overtime setback to the Tribe, the Bluejays dropped four spots to No. 5 in the rankings.
The Bluejays went 1-0-1 after achieving the top ranking in the Sept. 15, 1999 poll. CU defeated Harvard 6-0 before tying Boston University 1-1 a day later. The tie dropped the Jays to No. 3 the following week.
Creighton's longest run at No. 1 occurred in 1993 when the Bluejays spent the final five weeks of the regular season in the top spot. CU finished the regular season undefeated at 19-0 including seven consecutive victories while ranked No. 1. The Jays suffered a heart-breaking four-overtime 2-1 loss to Air Force in the first round of the NCAA Tournament that season to halt the streak.
Two Jays Earn Recognition from BIG EAST
Sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike claimed Defensive Player of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, the league office announced Sept. 30. Senior Bruno Castro also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
It marks the first Defensive Player of the Week honor for Hines-Ike and third defensive accolade awarded to a Bluejay by the conference this season. Junior Eric Miller claimed recognition in two of the first four weeks for Creighton.
Hines-Ike won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after helping to anchor the Creighton backline against Michigan State and at No. 12 Georgetown. He played all 220 minutes in the Jays' pair of double-overtime contests against the Spartans and Hoyas. Hines-Ike and the defense led Creighton to its second blanking of a BIG EAST foe to begin the conference slate. The Denver native has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record four shutouts through eight matches.
The honor roll achievement collected by Castro marks his first accolade from the BIG EAST. A Bluejay has claimed a spot on the conference weekly honor roll in four of the first five weeks this season.
Castro earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after scoring his second goal of the season as part of a three-point night in a 2-2 tie against Michigan State last week. The Costa Rica native connected on a header from 15 yards out against MSU to record the final score of the match. Castro also made an assist on the Jays' first goal against the Spartans.
Three Jays Claim BIG EAST Weekly Honors
CU junior Eric Miller and freshman Fabian Herbers claimed Defensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, respectively, the league announced Sept. 23. Junior Alex Bolowich also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
It marks the second Defensive Player of the Week honor for Miller this season and Herbers' first accolade from the conference. The honor roll recognition gained by Bolowich follows a Goalkeeper of the Week honor awarded earlier this season.
Herbers scored the lone goal of the match off of a free kick at 108:05 in a double overtime against No. 7 St. John's to secure Creighton's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. It marked his second goal of the season, both game-winners. Herbers is currently second on the team with two goals and eight points on the season.
Herbers also earned a spot on the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week for his game-winning goal on a free kick against the Red Storm.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline against No. 7 St. John's, helping the Bluejays record the team's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. He played all 108 minutes in the double overtime victory over St. John's. Miller has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record four shutouts through nine matches.
Bolowich earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after recording his third shutout of the season and second shutout of a ranked opponent. Bolowich made three saves in the victory over No. 7 St. John's.
Miller, Bolowich Earn BIG EAST Weekly Honors after Opening Weekend
Creighton juniors Eric Miller and Alex Bolowich claimed Defensive Player of the Week and Goalkeeper of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, respectively, the league announced on Sept. 2.
The weekly conference honor bestowed solely on athletic performance is a career first for both Miller and Bolowich. The classmates each claimed a scholar-athlete weekly award a season ago. The weekly awards are the first given to Creighton men's soccer student-athletes by the BIG EAST.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline on the opening weekend, helping the Bluejays record a pair of shutout wins over No. 14 Tulsa (2-0) and Cal Poly (3-0). He also scored a rare goal, just the second of his career in Omaha, against Cal Poly on a redirected header from freshman Fabian Herbers.
Bolowich shined for Creighton in the pair of shutouts to open the 2013 season to claim BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week accolades. Bolowich blanked No. 14 Tulsa in the Jays' opener with seven saves. He played only the first half against Cal Poly, making two stops.
Herbers Earns Team of Week Nod in First Outing
CU freshman Fabian Herbers claimed a spot on TopDrawerSoccer's Team of the Week, released Sept. 3, after posting four points for the Jays on the opening weekend. He helped Creighton record a pair of wins with a goal and two assists. Herbers' first career goal as a Bluejay was the game winner against No. 14 Tulsa. He also made two assists against Cal Poly.
California Dreaming
After blanking Cal Poly 3-0 on Sept. 1, Creighton improved its record to 16-0-3 against California-based schools in its last 19 meetings. The Jays won both matches against teams from the Golden State in 2012 defeating both Santa Clara and Saint Mary's by 1-0 margins. Creighton's last loss to a team from California came on Sept. 7, 2003, a 2-1 double overtime loss at Loyola Marymount.
Starting the Season Off Right
• After a 2-0 shutout of Tulsa, Creighton is unbeaten in its last seven season-opening matches, going 5-0-2 in those contests.
• Creighton has allowed one total goal to its last five season-opening opponents. Northern Illinois scored the lone goal last year after three years of shutouts.
BIG EAST Preseason Honors
The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected No. 2 Creighton to place second in the 2013 preseason poll the behind fellow 2012 College Cup participant, No. 11 Georgetown.
CU junior Eric Miller and sophomore Timo Pitter were also named to the preseason All‐BIG EAST Team.

Amid the slew of smartphones being released right in time for the holiday shopping season, Google's new LG-made Nexus 4 is winning the popularity contest.
Within hours of going on sale on the U.K.'s Google Play store on Monday, the latest nexus smartphone sold out. Same story in Australia, except that the successor to Google's Nexus 7 Tablet, the Samsung-made nexus 10, was also listed as "out of stock" before the day's end.
Meanwhile, BGR reported that in the U.S., it took only minutes before all available units of both the 8GB and 16GB models of the Nexus 4 sold out on Google Play. And before long, 32GB models of the Nexus 10 were out of stock, with only 10 units of the 16GB model remaining.
To use the old adage, tehy're selling like hotcakes. But it's not hard to see why.
Starting at $299 for the unlocked Nexus 4, the pricing is pretty competitive compared to other smartphones, especially considering its specs: Snapdragon S4 quad-core processor, 4.7-inch True HD IPS screen with a resolution of 1280×768 resolution, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean to boot.
However, it doesn't have LTE – if it did, people would probably be killing each other for it at that price – but TechCrunch is right in saying that it's essentially "a high-end 3G device for a mid-range price."
Likewise, there's no reason that demand for the Nexus 10 Tablet should cool down anytime soon. Starting at $399.99, it's greatest draw is its super-sized 10.1" 330PPI display, one of the biggest tablet screens out there.

Point Blank Q&A with Al Montoya: His Homecoming, Playing Back-to-Backs and Cap's Tie
Yesterday at practice, I spoke with the Islanders goaltender Al Montoya. He has started four of the team's last five games since returning from injury on November 25th and made a relief appearance on Saturday night in Dallas. Through nine starts this season, he has a .930 save percentage and 2.17 GAA. We touched on playing in front of his family last Friday in Chicago, how he's handling the workload of playing on back-to-back nights and, of course, the obligatory question about Capuano's tie.

Comments about Metolius Chalk Block (2 oz):
I have never liked powdered chalks - they seem like talcum powder, a little slippery, which is not what I want to improve my grip. The difference between block chalks - Bison, Frank Endo or Metolius has pretty much eluded me - they all seem pretty good and the price here (when I bought enough for free shipping) seemed better than most.

By Kevin R. Betts
In a recent CNN article, columnist Stephanie Dolgoff attempted to describe the reasons why she had fallen in (and out) of love with each of her intimate partners since the age of sixteen. For me, the most interesting part of this article was that the author was able to identify these reasons. It seems that many people think that love is something that just happens. Can one have reasons for love? Should one have reasons for love?
Although many laypersons may be unaware of the reasons they fell in love with their past and present partners, reasons do exist. Robert Solomon attempted to capture some of these reasons in a 2002 article entitled, "Reasons for Love" (I borrowed the title). One unsurprising reason is attraction. Although looks in and of themselves may not sustain love over time, they produce a willingness to consider the possibility of being in love with another. Rationalization may also lead to love. When we consider the possibility of falling in love, we may justify the positive emotions we experience with our beloved with reasons for those emotions. These reasons may or may not be accurate; rather, it is the perception that reasons exist that matters. Love in and of itself may also be a reason for love. Solomon (2002) describes a common movie scene in which the protagonist makes a list with two columns. In the left column, he writes down all the reasons to leave his lover. In the right column, he writes, "I love her!" Simply feeling that one is in love may be reason to continue loving someone. One may also fall in love because of properties of the beloved. Properties may include things like attractiveness as described above, but they may also include things like a sense of humor, wit, or charm. Or more commonly, some combination of features may lead to love.
In this brief post, I only covered a subset of the reasons for love identified by Solomon (2002). What is interesting to me is not the specific reasons why love comes to fruition, but rather that reasons exist. For those of you in serious relationships, why do you love your partner? Can you identify the reasons for your love or do you "just know" you love them?

I have loved baseball my whole life, and I am a big Giants fan, and I love Barry, but I know that outside of the Giants community, almost nobody else does. I travel a lot, and I was back in St Louis for a Giants-Cardinals game, and they hate Barry there. Sitting next to the guy with the asterick behind the guy with the syringe, it got me to thinking: these people are the biggest bunch of hypocrites I have ever seen in my life. I am not directing this at the Cardinal fans, but at any fan who can look at Bonds like that.
My opinion about steroids is this: Barry might have taken them, he might not have, but for them to stand there and say that Barry has ruined the face of baseball is rediculous. It makes me mad that people can single him out about steroids when I can look at almost every team in the league and pick out two or three guys who took steroids. For example, looking at the Cardinal fans, it took everything I had not to bring up Mark McGuire, their hero, a proven steroid user. Bonds hasnt even tested postitive for anything and yet they keep that same opinion. You cannot tell me that Roger Clemens isnt using, and yet people still like him (well, they dont question him for steriods).
I know that not everyone here is a Giants fan. There might be some A's fans in here, or maybe some other team. I want to know what team you like, as well as your opinion of Bonds and why.
Personally, I am rooting for him to break the record. I like Barry and until he tests positive, nothing will change that.
I am not blasting people. I just dont understand why it is that people look at him like he is a freak.
I know that this is a sensitive subject to talk about, so everyone talk nice.
Barry Bonds
Talk about any other sports here.

Anyone with ANY common sense or is not blinded by being a "fan" knows that Barry Bonds used steriods. That is just common sense.
Then beyond that, he has already ADMITTED using the cream and the clear steriod substance from Balco. He said he did not know they were steriods, but fact remains, we do know that he DID use them.
Does this make me hate or dislike Bonds. No, not at all. I wish nobody used steriods but all of baseball knew this was going on but baseball turned their heads because they were trying to rebuild the game after the strike season. They USED these players and now that the game has rebounded, they are trying to make an example of these players. It is complete BULLSHIT!
So in my mind, I KNOW Bonds used steriods. Do I think there should be an asterix by his records? A big NO to that question as well. Unless we know EVERY SINGLE player that used (which is impossible) then all records need to stand. Many players without naming names have stated that their observations were that many more pitchers than position players used steriods. So how many of Bonds HR's were hit off pitchers that were also on juice? Probably a BUNCH!
Steriods in baseball were widespread during this era... players knew it was going on, coaches new it, and baseball knew it.
It is time to look forward and clean it up, but we can't look behind us. It is was it is, but we cant penalize Bonds until we can single out EVERY single player that used.
The address the NFL question... I think the NFL does not get as much attention regarding the steriod issue is that the NFL has actually banned steriods where MLB did not actually have in writing a policy against steriods. The NFL has been testing for steriods for years and has taken is seriously for a LONG time. They did not turn their back.
They have pretty strict policies. Merriman tested positive and was suspended for 25% of the season on a first positive. Next time would be a full season. He tested positive and they took action. It is baseball that needs to clean up it act... not the NFL.
NFL has ZERO tolerance. Heck Jim Miller was supsended 4 games for taking an over the counter cough medicine that had one banned substance.

Bonds has always taken care of his body. He employes specialized nutritionalists so his diet is completely balanced to exactly what he needs. His attention to detail as to what goes into his body has been well discussed and documented. To say that he just put something on his body (his entire lively hood) without knowing what it was is kind of silly.
Again, it does not take a rocket scientist to know that Bonds did steriods... not just one... not just a couple times unknowingly... not just the cream. He is/was a steriod user. But again, that does not really change my perception of him a whole lot because a large percentage of the league did, it was not officially banned by the sport, and baseball did NOTHING to stop it!

NYI at PHOENIX, 9:05 pm ESTSillinger's example of perserverance and dedication
Whether or not he plays another game in the NHL – and I'm fairly certain, sadly, he has played his last – Mike Sillinger deserves the Masterton Trophy for more than 1,000 games of perserverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
At age 37, Sillinger attempted to play a 17th NHL season after rehabilitating from microfracture hip surgery. After playing a few games for the Islanders this season, he missed a week with a groin injury. But when he went on the IR on Tuesday, the club termed it "a hip injury." You don't have to be any kind of surgeon to know where this story is headed.
If the game on Monday night against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden proves to be Sillinger's 1,049th and last, the record will show he left courageously. Trying to battle his way through the pain his Colorado surgeon told him he'd have to endure for a while, Sillinger scored the game's opening goal off a feed from his young pal and protege Trent Hunter. For the superb faceoff man and two-way center, it was the 240th goal of his NHL career.
The Masterton Trophy was established 40 years ago to honor careers that exemplified dedication to hockey. But over the last 15 years or so – beginning with former Islanders goalie Mark Fitzpatrick – the sentiment has changed. While all of their comebacks were admirable and uplifting, players such as Bryan Berard, Jason Blake, Phil Kessel and Saku Koivu have received the Masterton by overcoming serious injuries and illnesses to continue their chosen careers. It makes you wonder how the Professional Hockey Writers Association got off-track and re-interpreted the meaning of the Masterton.
The award used to go to stalwarts such as Eddie Westfall and Butch Goring, Lanny McDonald and Dave Taylor, Jean Ratelle and Doug Jarvis. In other words, the Masterton Trophy was created to honor "perserverance, dedication and sportsmanship" with players like Mike Sillinger exactly in mind.
You know all about the league-record times Sillinger was traded. Now consider – look it up – that every time he was dealt his old team never had a bad word to say about him, or he about his team. Now that's a record.
If his career is over, Sillinger's 141 games on the Island will be just 14 shy of his most with any of his 12 NHL teams. He played 155 with Columbus. You want dedication? How about Sillinger agreeing to play three games this season on a conditioning stint in Bridgeport, his first trip to the American Hockey League in 15 years?
Quick story: when Sillinger last played in the "A," in 1992-93, he had 30 points in 15 games. Before he left for Bridgeport, I kidded that he'd never keep up that scoring pace. In his first game with the Sound Tigers the old son-of-a-gun had three assists. "Take that! I exceeded my pace," he said with the exuberance of a rookie.
His lack of a Stanley Cup ring does not take away from a career that has been remarkable in every sense of the word. Give Mike Sillinger the Masterton. And put his wife Karla's name on there, too.
ETC: Joey MacDonald and Rick DiPietro are still the only two Islanders goalies in Phoenix…DiPietro practiced with the team Thursday. So did Trent Hunter, who told me after the game on Wednesday that he couldn't breathe for several seconds after the hit and collision with the open door at the Garden…Mitch Fritz cleared waivers and is now with Bridgeport.
Greg Logan is the only reporter on this four-game Western swing. Between the travel and the time difference, there's an excellent chance Greg's going to get some news before I do. While I'll do my best to stir it up from the home office, you'll want to regularly check out Greg's blog throughout the trip. Actually, you'll always want to regularly check out Greg's blog.

Jefferson County Sheriffs Deputy Paul W. Trudeau has been named undersheriff, the departments second in command, Sheriff John P. Burns announced Friday.
Mr. Trudeau, a 15-year veteran of the department and an Army veteran, replaces Andrew R. Neff, who retired Friday.
The undersheriff serves at the pleasure of the sheriff and is not a member of a union. His main responsibilities include overseeing the departments budget and seeking U.S. Department of Homeland Security and corrections grants, as well as handling scheduling and some disciplinary matters.
Mr. Burns said he felt the leadership skills Mr. Trudeau gained in the military made him an ideal candidate for the position.
Mr. Trudeau, who also worked for several years in the state prison system as a corrections officer, served as a cavalry scout and drill sergeant in the Army. His medals include an award for outstanding leadership during Operation Desert Storm.
Mr. Trudeau is a 1980 graduate of York Central School, Retsof, and was an active-duty soldier from 1981 to 1984 before entering the reserves. He graduated from the Corrections Academy of Albany in 1986.
Mr. Trudeaus career with the Sheriffs Department began Oct. 13, 1998. He became a Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer on June 20, 2002. In April 2003, he was awarded the Army & Navy American Legion Post 61 Law and Order Night Award for a cave rescue in the town of Hounsfield. A year later, he was selected for the departments newly formed K-9 unit, reintroduced by state Sen. James W. Wright, and eventually became a master instructor, training many dogs in the surrounding counties.
Attempts to reach Mr. Trudeau on Friday night were unsuccessful.
Mr. Trudeau, in assuming the No. 2 position in the department, will oversee some sergeants and lieutenants who previously outranked him.
Mr. Burns said that he does not anticipate any problems with Mr. Trudeaus new role, noting that many of those sergeants and lieutenants have less time on the job than Mr. Trudeau.
They have all worked with Paul; they all like him. I dont think there will be any animosity at all, the sheriff said.
Mr. Burns said Mr. Trudeau has spent a lot of time with the public in his positions as a DARE and a K-9 officer and was instrumental in taking a lot of drugs off the street and bringing in a lot of seized money as the officer in charge of the K-9 unit, which has three officers.
By naming Mr. Trudeau to the position, the sheriff concluded a lengthy search for a replacement for Mr. Neff, a longtime member of the department who retired amid allegations of misconduct.
Mr. Burns said he wishes Mr. Neff the best of luck. Mr. Burns previously has said that Mr. Neff served the county for 25 years and he did a good job and that he wanted Mr. Neff to retire with his dignity. On Friday, Mr. Burns said, Unfortunately, a situation came up where I had to impose discipline.
Mr. Burns said he is looking forward to putting the incident behind the department and moving forward.
Mr. Trudeau will begin his new position Monday.
