Bismarck Du Plessis controversially yellow carded for huge hit on Dan Carter
Former Italy and Springbok coach Nick Mallett shares his thoughts on Romain Poite's decision to yellow card Bismarck Du Plessis for the tackle on Dan Carter. Mallett argues that Poite had technology, as well as his touch judges, at his disposal so should have made use of them.

In these situations the referees just plain get the rules wrong, and should know better.
I agree that the decision to give him the first yellow was a shocker, and it was appalling he didn't make use of available technology, but it isn't as bad as all that.
DanKnapp September 14, 2013 7:48 pm
When I say it was as bad as 'all that' I've got the example of the quick throw in mind, when the referee just got the rules wrong. In this clip the referee just sees it wrong, which is a terrible shame, but not as bad.

Karma has an uncanny knack of making you pay when you endeavour to smash a player out of the game just because the opportunity presents.
n.b. Quade Cooper
Have a look at the Rooster's enforcer Jared Warea-Hargreaves who when a two man tackle went wrong and there was a risk of the player landing on his head/neck and doing damage, went all out to get his arm under the player to stop any damage. Now there's a gutsy player with integrity.
DanKnapp September 15, 2013 10:03 am
Hitting Carter high on his chest means the ball gets wrapped up and he can't distribute it. Nothing wrong with this as a goal. If Carter gets winded, fine. Du Plessis is a monster and this is part of his game.

There is nothing illegal with hitting a player hard, whether or not you hope to injure them. The tackle was perfectly legal and a fantastically executed and timed hit. It was unfortunate Dan Carter got injured but that should be irrelevant in the refs decision.
Now stop saying the tackle was not legal when it clearly was. Even the IRB has acknowledge it was legal and has since issued an apology.
From a neutral point of view this ruined an amazing game of rugby, one of the best I've seen in a longtime. It's likely nz would have gone on to win without the appalling ref decisions but it would've been a contest and great to watch.

A French player, Rougerie, playing with his club vs the the London Wasps in 2002 got his larynx crushed by exactly the same move than Du Plessis. The result was several weeks in hospital, 3 surgeries, respiratory problems, feeding with nasogastric probe, 5 months without playing rugby. And the tribunal punished Greenwood to a 40 000 euros fine.
That fend off was not a fend off, it was a hit in the throat with the elbow. You can kill somebody with that kind of hit... So a yellow card is not bad...
If the players fend off like it's said in the rules of this game, with the hand, under the shoulders, then no penalty, no cards. Respect the rules, respect the game, respect your opponent, and nobody will see anything wrong in this. Don't do it, and you'll get penalties and cards. As simple as that...

Going in with an elbow is dangerous and stupid. Equally stupid is to say that Messam had "a bad tackling technique" by coming in "too high". It would be equal to say that John Smit had "bad landing technique" back in 2008 when Brad Thorn put him on his fat ass.

Why was he not carded in any of these games, he was doing the exact same thing. Just because this time someone gets hit in the throat its a yellow? What if Messam went low and Bismark's knee hit him in the throat, would it be a yellow then?

IRB Ruling: The Hand-off or Fending
Posted by IRB Laws on December 1st, 2010
Hand Off An action taken by a ball carrier to fend off an opponent by using the palm of the hand.
PALM OF THE HAND. Not edge of the elbow.
I'm sorry if this would sound insulting, mate but it seems you have to go back to studying the Law book...

Messam also got "hurt" and the second card.
Since the 2007 WC game I don't think a ref decision has gone against the AB's and the 40 year record at Eden park will never be broken if the REF get swayed by the home side (WC 11 final) ...
well, maybe this one is only on the ref and NZ just happened to benefit.
Really wish it ended more competitively.

So if you are to be believed, the All Blacks have not had a penalty against them since 2007.
That's a pretty impressive record. I don't think any other team will come close to breaking that one,............... what do you think?
I_bleed_green_and_gold September 15, 2013 7:00 pm
I just enjoy good rugby. The emotion is different if you lose a great contest vs getting robbed by the ref. This one has the same feeling I guess that the AB's were feeling when they got knocked out the 07 world cup.. similarly, when the Boks got knocked out the 11 wc against Australia, Warberton's red in WC11 and of course when France Lost the final due to terrible officiating. (there are instances of a simple mistake such as a missed forward or a wrong penalty but for many of these cases it appeared to be blatant officiating error)
My initial reaction was one of shock (as was many other peoples) at the decision, but If you want to be the best you have to be able to win when the decisions are going against you.
I think JDV and Heineke Meyer said it best. We were not at the same level as the AB's yet and they beat us on the day. I think we will get there by the end of the year, we have a good formula for enjoyable winning rugby.
I_bleed_green_and_gold September 14, 2013 12:36 pm
what is the point of referring to the TMO if you dont actually care what their opinion is? With all the technology it does not make sense to place all the responsibility in the on field ref. I think Walsh does this too. There seems to be a bit of incompetence with the refs in general. when they refer the TMO sometimes gets it wrong. other times they refer and dont do a thing about it. This is crazy....
OK, i need to get over this and move on to the next game.. hopefully the next time we meet will be a more favourable result.

1. is going to the TMO for all the afterwards stuff
2. already believes the original foul is a card-worthy foul
How on earth would a reasonable human being not expect that he should confirm with the TMO his proposed penalty and Yellow card?
Poite's call up to the TMO was "I've already made my original decision" -- seems he's got quite a bit of hubris, no?

Hartley's elbow drop on McCaw - no penalty

Irish lock (forget his name) attacking MCCaw's eyes repeatedly - no penalty
Rougerie headbutt and gouge on McCaw - no penalty

Bismarck gouge on Thomson - no penalty

It is just a bad decision that was compounded by a second incident (poor player judgement).

Someone explain this to me. He ref sees a big hit on Carter. He goes upstairs to ask if there has been any foul play. He is told, no, no foul play. He then sin bins the tackler for foul play. Seriously, WTF? I understand refs can make errors, but this is completely insane.
The second incident was nothing either. Bismarck goes for a fend, at full speed, and in close quarters, it was entirely incidental and there was zero intent about elbowing n the head. Contact of this sort happens in every game, it should never be a penalty. Slowed down, it looks worse, but never in a million years is that a card.
Romain Poite, go get a room with Bryce Lawrence and leave refereeing to men with an ounce of common sense.
JackSavage September 14, 2013 1:25 pm
Aside from some p*ss poor refereeing decisions, this was a great game and the South Africans should be extremely proud of their performance. Their defence and play at the breakdown was exceptional. It's great to see a real competitive game between two brilliant sides. Shame the ref ruined the contest.

Guy September 14, 2013 1:38 pm
a) he looked suspiciously offside (which made it hard for Carter to brace for the impact);
b) he should have let go before he went for the ball (which is a penalty offense, no more).
I did not see the match but I am quite curious how it looked from different angles. Too bad the ref is not wearing a camera in this instance, I wonder what he saw from his position.

Stubby September 14, 2013 2:16 pm
The second is legitimate.
Every player is responsible for their bodies. If you are playing in a way where your actions can, even accidentally, to seriously hurt another player then you are doing it WRONG.
Intent do not enter in to it until deciding punishment.
It was definitely a foul play but whether penalty or yellow card worthy...
I am inclined to say give a penalty and get on with the game. This results in loss of possession or 3 points.
45678 September 14, 2013 6:09 pm
Stubby September 15, 2013 4:08 am
because if not i believe the same rule should apply to the ball carrier. If his fend, in this case his elbow, strikes someone above the shoulders, in this case in the neck, then he should be accountable. An elbow/forearm strike to the throat is potential lethal.
and to look at it another way, what if the fend was a hand to the face of the defender and the defender's eyes got gouged, would you be ok with that?
I would rather we not wait for a broken larynx or a fatality for you to realize your callousness.
We have had 2 fatalities here in Canada in recent years amongst teenage players.
45678 September 15, 2013 4:41 pm
An open handed hand off is a legal facet of the game, if a finger accidentally goes in someone's eye, it is an accident. If someone is gouging, then its a different thing altogether. You're suggesting that you cannot allow facets of the game that could potentially injure someone else. You wouldn't be able to play the game if that is the case
There is a responsibility of every player to conduct themselves in a professional manner and serious foul play should and 90% of the time is picked up. So I don't really understand what else you want
Stubby September 16, 2013 1:00 am
Intent versus accident only goes to the level of punishment. Making contact above the shoulders is dangerous.
I am sure most high tackles are accidents and yet they are still punished. The tackler is supposed to control his body into contact.

Absolute bullshit.
What a shit decision.
These refs are ruining the game.
Player get dropped when they don't preform.
The same standards need to apply to res. Poite has made a lot of these kind of shitty soft decisions.
DanKnapp September 15, 2013 10:33 am
Referees are not ruining the game, the game is probably at its most exciting for years. Players are capable of playing at a fantastic pace and are hugely skillful, and are using those skills to win the game - legally and illegally. Referees are now professional, fitter, and are analysing their decisions after the game. It's just that when they make mistakes they get blamed and nobody takes their side or forgives them. I'd hate to think how many mistakes I'd make if I was forced to referee a club match, let alone an international.
Poite's decision wasn't a 'soft' decision. He thought he had seen it, backed himself, but made the wrong call. The only reason we're discussing it at length is that later on Du Plessis got himself a second yellow, which resulted in a red. That was a valid decision because it was dangerous play. I'm gutted he got the call wrong, I was hoping the SAs would do the ABs, but it wasn't the turning point of the match.
jason September 14, 2013 5:30 pm
miguel September 14, 2013 5:31 pm
I think this is the by product of the "ref is always right mentality". Its one thing for coaches and players to accept that the ref's decision is final on the field, but there should be accountability for Refs and such obviously wrong decisions as the first yellow card (for which there is no room for debate as its just a bad call).
Refs should be given the benefit of the doubt afterwards when they miss something (ala Barnes and the forward pass in the 1/4 final) or make a decision around a truly gray area (Steve Walsh and Ashley-Cooper's disallowed try for the brumbies) but should be punished with bans the same as players when they make affirmative actions which are objectively wrong.

To be fair to the ABs, they played very well, and probably were the better team on the day. I was especially disappointed at how the Boks lost their composure and started making unforced errors after the red card.
But that's what disappoints me most: That the ABs were "probably" the better team. We'll never know. We were robbed. Nick Mallet's use of the word "disgrace" is appropriate, if not a euphemism.
Credit to the ABs and credit to HM and JdV for being diplomatic after the game. Looking forward to the Ellis Park clash.

That's why the coaching staff said nothing because I believe coach Meyer has heaps of integrity and he won't be happy with the stupidity shown by his "loose cannon" Bismark
Johnston September 15, 2013 11:36 am

These guys don't just target McCaw because he's a cheat. It's because he's the best and they want to rattle him and the team. Many of these incidents were after the whistle so don't give me the offside excuse.
I_bleed_green_and_gold September 15, 2013 10:43 pm
there is a whole lot of almost losses, or perfect records. I am sure those were very dark days so I apologize for my initial statement.
The instances you mentioned are when you think ( probably correctly) that a penalty and cards should have gone in your favour . If every county that plays writes a list of instances where they think the AB's were not penalized or given cards when they should have been you would be reading for quite some time.
It is difficult to watch a game neutrally when you are passionate about your team. But surely, you have to ask yourself "how did he get away with that" ?

If a referee cheats, let him face the full punishment available. But until then, can we show a bit more damn respect for these guys, without whom we would have a game to play in.
If you're suggesting that we drop referees who make mistakes then you maybe we should drop players who make mistakes, commentators who get it wrong, fans who think that their team never cheat... what would be left?

Sometimes when you try to take someone out, which is quite easy to do - it's just a matter of timing, it can backfire on you and you get taken out yourself, in this case by the ref.
When you're playing a team with higher skill level, it is often better to develop your
skills more, rather than take advantage of the opportunities which invariably come your way, to smash a key player high in order to take them out of the game.

As someone who has been involved in subbies rugby in Australia as a player, ref and coach, the quality of refs gets worse every season.
Why?? Because they are a protected species and cannot be questioned. It's time they were made accountable for bad decisions, just like players. But that would mean those higher in the food chain would become accountable and the "old boys" brigade won't have a bar of that..
AK-NZ September 15, 2013 4:11 am
What many people have already noted is that there is more than enough technology to utilise in international rugby fixtures to avoid the kinds of decisions that marred what should have been an epic match up with The Old Foe. Bismarck's tackle on Dan Carter was in my opinion one of the finest so far this international season. I was absolutely bemused when the ref carded him for it. The second incident was marginal, but in no way merited a card. I recall seeing Hosea Gear fend off Keith Earls in similar fashion last year - by the logic of consistency, should he not have been carded? Or Bismarck's fend been deemed legitimate?
I guess what I'm rambling on about is a huge lack of both consistency and logic to many refereeing decisions in the international game. I am of the firm belief that cards should only be given in clear and certain instances of foul play or misconduct - use the available technology to determine what is and is not legitimate, because a number of refs can't seem to do it properly themselves. Rugby is not endearing itself to new fans with the kinds of decisions that were made last night. It is frustrating for players, coaches and more significantly, the fans who just want to see their sides playing rugby the way it is meant to be played, without unnecessary interference from the match officials.
Whew. Rant over.

First card was a wrong decision, that is clear but sometimes referees see things wrongly. It happens to every team, get over it and stop turning every discussion of a rugby match into a discussion about refereeing decisions (that goes for the Rugbydump.com team too, I think it's a real shame that we see increasingly many 'controversial decisions' posts on here now and those often long before any of the play is posted).
The only time I have ever seen a player actually die from a rugby injury was from an elbow to the throat received whilst tacklling an opponent. in a schoolboy game aged 16 It is extremely dangerous to lead with your elbow into someone's throat and has been listed as dangerous play since long before all the silly tip-tackle bollocks of recent years. Your throat is pretty much the only essential part of your body which is brittle and has zero protection (bone, muscle etc) and even a relatively light blow there can have extreme consequences. Of course the second card was the correct application of a very sensible and long-standing law, the only issue is that it followed a bad first call.

It was HIGH - in the replay from behind + to the side you can quite clearly see BdP's AC Joint being higher than DC's - as well as the fact that the line of drive is above horizontal.
Please refresh on the Laws below:
Law 10.4 - Dangerous Play and Misconduct clearly states: (a) Punching or striking. A player must not strike an opponent with the fist or arm, including the elbow, SHOULDER, head or knee(s). (e) Dangerous tackling. A player must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent ABOVE THE LINE OF THE SHOULDERS EVEN IF THE TACKLE STARTS BELOW THE LINE OF THE SHOULDERS.
Note also how BdP keeps well away from the post infraction ruckus, NOT the usual BdP at all!?

"Referee makes shocking error by uncharacteristically penalizing a player in a top-level sport for getting the best of the sport's most photogenic high-scoring superstar."
"Business as usual in the sports world as goldenboy athlete on the world's most popular team is helped out by his extra teammate (the one with the whistle)."
I guess I'm still a little bitter about the Miami Heat winning the NBA championship.

I can understand how referee's can make incorrect decisions in the quick heat of the moment, but when you have the assistance of a video referee is disgraceful.
"no arms"? ... forgetting the law jargon etc, he actually had BOTH arms involved, his right was wrapped round DC and his left was closer in but still involved... Pathetic.

Consider this. For the Carter tackle Bismarck was off-side, clearly. It was a big hit, but there is no argument that the arms were used. The tackle itself was not innocuous in that Carter was blind-sided where if Bismarck had come from an on-side position Carter would have had time and vision to "prepare" to be hit. My view, penalty and warning. The 2nd yellow card was a no brainer from the big man and almost a mandatory red. Use the palm Bismarck; it will have a similar effect.
What was really disappointing about this game was that the Boks moved away from what was making them successful this year under Meyer. Recently we have seen a slight expansion in their game. The same robust set-piece expertise is there. Recycled possession, narrow and tight, still there. Brutal break-down contention also still there. Territorial kicking still there. But the ball has been moving through a pretty decent back-line. Tries have been scored. Morne taking it to the line and getting his outsiders away.
There was almost no sign of that at Eden Park. Very little enterprise. It was as though the Boks had come to man-handle the All Blacks rather than concentrate on the successful rugby they have recently played. This physicality tactic was never going to work and it is notable that the points scored by the All Blacks came generally from well created tries.
As an All Black fanatic I cherish our friendship/emnity with South Africa and enjoy rugby and good times with some South African friends. We recently had a night on the Klippas in front of a Test. We want to see the Boks continue down the Meyer's recent path of broader rugby and width. It's good for the game.

An official statement has already been released by the IRB because of the backlash. Bismarck did nothing wrong - he did everything right. Poite screwed up big time.
riccardo September 17, 2013 12:18 am
I have seen that too. Open play and therefore just a brutal (but legal) tackle.
The elbow wasn't deliberate either, just unfortunate but definitely a card offence.
Poite made a glaring error. That said, I stand by my original post in that the Boks desire to overcome the All Blacks physically contributed more to their loss than Bismarck's absence.
I guess we'll never know. One thing you can count on though is that the All Blacks will be entering a flaming cauldron at Ellis Park in a couple of weeks.

It's not sour grapes to say that the contest was ruined after BdP (and consequently Willem Alberts) had to leave the field. I won't even say South Africa would've won, but what I will say is that they did pretty well facing an in form AB's team with 14 men. Also as soon as SA had the advantage of an extra man, they scored (Same as NZ). As for the comments about the SA team having to improve their skills and play more expansive rugby - it's pretty hard to do that with 14 men against the All Blacks at home.
Now the second yellow card: Justified. BUT everything does look at lot worse in slow motion and it may have gone unnoticed if no one was injure. I want to add that I dont think there was intent to injure as everything happened so quickly in normal time.
I'm not pissed off cos we lost, I'm a bit annoyed that we weren't allowed to play. See you at Ellis Park All Blacks, Let's hope it's a fair contest for both teams on that day.

Still very disappointing that the contest was ruined this way.
Re the second incident. If you watch in real time, and then watch slow mo, I don't think it's intentional. Du Plessis is standing still, and it looks like he is expecting to be tackled, thus a fend that's gone wrong.
Still, it was against the rules. But a penalty, not a card - in my admittedly biased opinion.
Nonu's charge on de Villiers on the other hand, was clearly intended, unless the man suffers from serious delayed reactions.

Re: RB STATEMENT REGARDING FIRST YELLOW CARD SHOWN TO BISMARCK DU PLESSIS
By SANZAR News Service & IRB
Your recent 'excuse' on the above appears to give the impression that you are saying that since players and coaches make mistakes it is excusable !?
Do PLAYERS and COACHES have two additional 'assistants' on the field PLUS a Television Match Official who can review the incident in question in Slow Motion / Frame by Frame from 8 different Angles and view it on a Big Screen ?
Can Players and coaches stop the game to review all of the above over & over again until an accurate and correct decision is made ? Do the errors of players and coaches affect the viewing pleasure of millions of people or the outcome in such a drastic way that the Officials error did, and the history of such a result, the World Rankings and more, not to mention the massive monetary impact ... No !
So why did you even bother to mention it ? The fact that you employed the services of a French Ref ( & touch judge, sorry excuse me, Assistant Referee ) for a Southern Hemisphere Clash is not a mistake, it is pure ignorance !
Why do we have to walk on egg shells when it comes to speaking out about Referees and treat them like demi gods !!!
You make a mistake like that and you are OUT period - fired - sacked - you are incompetent to do the job and thats it - that is the real world.
Incidentally, why did the Officials 'mistake' not be discussed / reviewed / brought to his attention at half time and when the second incident occurred a final warning given to Bismarck Du Plessis in light of the first error ?
However, the question now is will you have the balls to take decisive action on the above and ensure that Romain Poite is held accountable for his inexcusable mistake and does not referee an official test Match again ?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
browner September 16, 2013 12:47 pm
Seriously though, if you demote or strike off all referees who make errors, then you'll soon have no matches being played, or matches being self refereed by the players...... now that would be a 80min scrap involving 46 players worth watching !!

So consider this: the tackle itself was allowed, but the player was clearly offside and didn't have the right to tackle Carter, plus the intention was clearly to injure a key player. An offside can be punished by a yellow card, and the will to injure a player can be punished. There's nothing wrong to me that this player, known to be very brutal, was sent off for that tackle. He was offside, the tackle was then not legal, and he sent Carter off for a year with this illegal tackle. So a yellow card is okay.
The ref was wrong, the tackle was illegal only because Du Plessis was offside, but it was still illegal, with health consequencies...
And look at Habana hitting Dagg in the legs 20m in front of the landing zone of a Sprongbok kick... The Boks clearly wanted to injure the NZ key players during this game, as they do each time they're afraid of their opponent...
Wessel van Rensburg September 16, 2013 3:10 pm
tezca September 16, 2013 3:46 pm
Listen to the comments on the clip, the guys agree, he's offside.
I saw it on French TV, and the comments were the same.
He's offside because he was not behind the line described by the ball when the AB makes the pass. You don't need a ruck to be offside...
Learn the rules...
Wessel van Rensburg September 16, 2013 3:53 pm
In ***open*** play I can tackle you from behind, regardless the position of the player that made the pass. Kapish?
Reality September 16, 2013 4:00 pm
And it had health consequences? I'm sorry Carter got injured, but if someone gets injured by a legitimate tackle, that just unfortunate and part of the game.
And you have the nerve to tell Wessel to learn the rules when you're obviously not an expert yourself? Dear God!
tezca September 16, 2013 5:10 pm
So according to you, in open play I could stand between 2 of my opponents, in the line of attack? Nobody never taught me that...
katman September 16, 2013 4:33 pm
Really? Is this your understanding of the offside rule? Well no wonder you got the tackle thing wrong then. You're describing an entirely different game.

Poite got it wrong but i believe it's getting tough now for the ref having the video ref option available for foul play and stuff: at full speed and on the instant that tackle seemed to me high and not legal. I believe that a lot of ref who have made the same call.
Now with this new rule every single "hard tackle" could be called off for a video ref. Rugby is becoming like American football and THAT SUCKS.
Some could Bismark played border line and got it wrong the 2nd time.
@ Roger_Rave
Sure the SA fans were pissed off by the Poite mistake but saying that a French ref has nothing to do with this tournament is pure rubbish. The laws are the same for all refs. refs make mistakes; fortunately they will get better using the new rules.
In response to the SANZAR team i'd would remind them of the SA ref Joubert during the last WC and again during the last 6 Nations game England vs France where he blatantly refused to hear the assistant coach who told him about a foul play committed by an English player and which led to an English try...SELECTIVE MEMORY i guess...

I still remember it very well, but I do not recall any Sharks, or indeed SA rugby supporters who even thought that it was nearly foul play, yet you got this excuse of a reporter that goes by the name of Gregor Paul who calls for it to be worthy of a red.
The guy's credentials seem to be laughable at best, and he has posted numerous articles in the past that were equally ridiculous. Why anybody at the New Zealand Herald took him seriously enough to give him a job which requires him to write articles to people who actually understand and love rugby, is anybody's guess.
Regarding the game itself, yes, it was very wrong, but not for one moment were we criticising New Zealand's public, but rather guys like Hansen with his silly comments after the game, as well as Romain Poite, and the IRB themselves for appointing a wholly incompetent referee for such a massive match.
Big ups for Dan Carter immediately saying there was nothing illegal in the hit. Classy man.
Frenchie September 18, 2013 3:37 pm
All the changes made around the scrum, mauls are going in this sense i think.
I am not yet up to speed with this year rules but so far i don't like them: 3 refs on the pitch should be enough to spot any offense .

For all those who are really laying into the ref. Maybe you should put yourself in his place. He knows his job has been doing it a long time. Its a hard job much harder than playing. He's under more scrutiny than any other on the pitch. Very few refs are paid to do the job and normally not paid anywhere near the top players. The do this job because like us they are passionate about rugby. They want to make every game they ref the best game they have refereed. Yes he stuffed up. A lot of people stuffed up that night too. Players paid a lot more than he is. So I hope poor old Poite bounces back from this as he has been mostly good from what I have seen of his other matches.
If people are interested there is an interesting article on Poite and on refereeing in general it clears up a few misconceptions that a few on here seem to be holding on to.

TV show highlights Manchester murder probe from 1999
MANCHESTER - The circumstances around the murder of a Manchester woman 14 years ago and police efforts to solve the crime were featured Tuesday night in a dramatic retelling on a national cable network.
Capt. Mark Putney, Lt. James Soucy and retired Sgt. Scott Fuller were interviewed for a segment of "Nightmare Next Door" on Investigation Discovery Channel that detailed their investigation into the grisly 1999 murder of Mary Stetson by Vaclav Plch.
Police found Stetson's torso in the Piscataquog River July 20, 1999. Her head and limbs were missing, but police were able to identify her by a tattoo on the back of her right shoulder, according to the show.
The program dramatized several men as being possible suspects, including a man who stood her up for a date, a stranger at a bar, a shopkeeper, a "missing Czech," and an "angry drifter" named "Slim."
The investigation eventually led to Plch, the man identified as the "missing Czech," who was arrested later in 1999 in Austin, Texas, the show concluded in the hour-long episode.
Plch was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.

At last, aesthetic medicine has come to Price. Aesthetic medicine or cosmetic dermatology is a relatively new field of medicine that involves non-invasive techniques to enhance ones' appearance. This can be done by simple hair removal, cosmetic fillers, spider vein removal, Botox, and photo-rejuvenation. All these procedures have been available on the Wasatch front but can now be found Price.
Dr. Glori Allen is pleased to announce that these procedures will be available at the Body Glo Day Spa at 69 W. Main, Price. Dr. Allen is joining Laska Newman, owner and operator of Body Glo Day Spa, in expanding the services at the day spa. This will include cosmetic dermatology services, and create a medical spa as well.
Dr. Allen is board certified in internal medicine as well as emergency medicine and practices full-time in the emergency room at Castleview Hospital. She is a graduate of Texas Tech University Health Science Center and moved to Utah in 1992.
"I have always been interested in the cosmetic field of medicine and am pleased to offer these services to the Carbon-Emery county area."
Dr. Allen has taken advanced courses in Cosmetic Fillers (Restylane), Botox, Intense Pulsed Light hair removal, photo-rejuvenation, photodynamic therapy, and acne treatments. Sclerotherapy (vein removal) will be offered starting in December.
"All of the newest aesthetic techniques are available to help you achieve your personal goals. Whether you want Botox to smooth your own frown lines, or Restylane to fill your deep hollows or enhance the lips."
All of these procedures are with little to no down-time.
The medical spa includes a Medilux Intense Pulsed Light machine that performs photo facials, takes off age spots, removes hair and treats broken capillaries on the face. Restylane is a clear, non-animal substance called Hylauronic acid. This can be carefully injected under the skin to plump up areas that have lost collagen, thus creating deep folds around the mouth and nose. Botox is a natural chemical which will smooth the upper part of the face. It has been used safely for 25 years, and Dr. Allen has trained with the leading experts in the use of cosmetic and therapeutic uses of Botox.
"We are particularly excited about using the Medilux IPL machine for skin rejuvenation. This treats excessive redness, large pores, uneven skin texture and tone." Also, new treatments for acne are offered to include not only medication but treatment with a new Blu Light technology that is painless and effective! Lastly, a skin product line that has proved effectiveness SkinCeuticals, is available as well.
Call the Body Glo Day and Medical Spa at 637-9189 to set up a free consultation with Dr. Allen and discuss the new techniques for yourself or your family. Other services offered at the day spa include waxing, pedicures, massages, facials and microdermabrasion. We are located at 69 W. Main, on the lower level of Don Marcos.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 18 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by tomato not wrinkle-free These pants fit perfectly, and look terrific. I love how they feel. I have washed them and dried them in the dryer, but they need to be ironed. I had hoped to take them on an up-coming trip, but won't because they have to be ironed to look well. April 5, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by MaryM Highwater These pants are comfortable, but unfortunately they shrunk in length so much in four wearings and washings that I can't wear them anymore. They also wrinkle. I'd like my money back. April 9, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by nikko4me be careful as drying shrinks length quite a bit I have to agree with previous poster about having to iron these after coming out of dryer. Takes a few minutes to get these back to pre-wash state with iron. Also, if you are concerned about shrinking, then do not machine dry. They do fit great, but would be careful on cleaning/altering based on above. May 10, 2010
Rated 3 out of 5 by DrKim This is a poor choice for a slack Pants are poorly designed. Short crotch,oversized waistband,control panel creates too much pull on a PLASTIC ZIPPER May 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Miranda Perfect except for the rise I have been looking for nice pants that don't wrinkle to wear to work. These would have been perfect, except they come up too high on the waist. I wear a petite size in some clothing, maybe that would make a difference if they were proportioned for Petite sizes, or just lower the rise an inch - I would buy one in every color then, but I'm probably going to return these because they just come up too high on my waist - above the belly button. March 26, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by NannySue Tan color much, much smaller than white!! I should have paid more attention to previous reviews, but I love my white ones so much!!! Ordered same size in the tan color and fit at least one size smaller than the white ones - so very disappointed. Pants should fit the same no matter what color!!! Had to pay shipping to me and then shipping back - bummer!!!! September 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by teacher05 great pants, poor fit I've bought these pants before and love them for work. But the last two pair I just received do not fit at all. They are way too tight - needless to say they are going back. I don't mind spending this much on slacks that are comfortable and look professional but I cannot wear these at all. So sad. May 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sanser I really like wearing them I really like wearing these pants as they make me look thinner and most of all they do not bind because they stretch with you. I bought them to sit in on the airplane and they were great. I'm 5'5" and the size 12 had to be hemmed quite a bit so there is that added expense. I would buy these again. July 30, 2010

CARTHAGE The new Carthage Central School District concussion policy looks to educate in addition to keeping players safe.
More educated people are more safe, athletics director Stephen J. Nolan said.
Mr. Nolan served on a concussion management team in Division II sports.
The school adopted a concussion policy during the Board of Education meeting Dec. 17.
Under the new policy, staff members who oversee physical activity and health matters such as physical education teachers, coaches and nurses will be trained to identify signs of a concussion.
Athletes that got hurt would fill out an accident form, be evaluated by coaches and then parents would make the decision of whether to see a doctor or not, Mr. Nolan said of the schools previous actions for the traumatic brain injury.
A concussion management team consisting of the school health office, Mr. Nolan and the teams coach will determine when the concussed student will be allowed to return to play. Recovery time will vary for each student.
The policy expects the concussion management team to review and/or design an appropriate plan for the student while he/she is recovering.
The team will regulate the students academic recovery with a return-to-school protocol. The policy states, The CMT members pertinent to the individual students academic needs will be contacted and notified of their medical status and any restrictions. This regulation will continue until the student has been released by a physician.
The adoption of this policy is in response to the New York state Concussion Management and Awareness Act.
According to the state Department of Health website, an estimated 4,000 students younger than 20 have been treated for sports-related traumatic brain injuries each year. The campaign pitches When in doubt ... take them out!
Mr. Nolan said he is unaware of any concussion troubles since he started in August, but the school prefers to err on the side of caution.
Concussions usually are caused by a blow to the head. Signs of a concussion include a prolonged headache, nausea or vomiting, ringing in ears and, in severe cases, memory loss. Popular speculation is that some athletes have died as a result of suffering more than one concussion in a short time frame.
Beginning in the spring, parents will be notified of the policy at start-of-the-season meetings. For more information or to view the policy, visit www.carthagecsd.org/athletics.cfm.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is a procedure used to treat an aneurysm (abnormal enlargement) of the abdominal aorta, which may be performed surgically through an open incision or in a minimally-invasive procedure called endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Amputation is the surgical removal of a leg or arm, or a part of one - such as a toe, finger, foot, or hand - usually as a result of injury, disease, or infection.
Your doctor might order a blood test to find out if you are sick, if your body is responding to an allergy, or if you are at risk for certain health conditions.
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a catheter is moved through a blood vessel to the heart in order to better diagnose coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure and other heart conditions.
A carotid artery duplex scan is used to assess blockage or narrowing of the carotid arteries of the neck and/or the branches of the carotid artery.
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) may be performed to treat a blockage or narrowing of the carotid arteries, thus improving blood supply to the brain. Carotid artery angioplasty with stenting (CAS) is a procedure currently being used on selected patients who are at high risk for surgery.
Also known as a cardiac ablation or radiofrequency ablation, this procedure guides a tube into your heart to destroy small areas of heart tissue that may be causing your abnormal heartbeat.
A chest X-ray is used to examine the chest and the lungs and other organs and structures located in the chest.
CT/CAT scans are more detailed than standard x-rays and are often used to assess the organs of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and esophagus, for injuries, abnormalities, or disease.
CT angiography is a type of medical exam that combines a CT scan with an injection of a special dye to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a part of your body.
Coronary artery bypass surgery is performed to treat a blockage or narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries, thus restoring the blood supply to the heart muscle.
A dobutamine stress echocardiogram is a diagnostic procedure in which an intravenous medication called dobutamine is used when an exercise stress test is not recommended. Dobutamine mimics the effects of exercise on the heart.
An echocardiogram is a procedure in which ultrasonic sound waves are used to assess the heart's function and structures.
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple and fast procedure that is used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart, which is measured in "waves." Variations in the waves may indicate problems with the heart.
When a problem develops with the heart's rhythm, there may or may not be any symptoms. An electrophysiological study (EP study) is an invasive procedure that tests the heart's electrical system to determine the cause of the dysrhythmia.
An exercise echocardiogram is a procedure in which ultrasound, or sound wave technology, is used to asses the heart's response to stress or exercise.
An exercise ECG is a simple and fast procedure that is used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart's response to stress or exercise.
Femoral popliteal (also called femoropopliteal) bypass surgery is a surgical procedure that may be used to treat severe blockage due to plaque in the femoral artery. The femoral and popliteal arteries are located in the legs.
A heart transplant is a surgical procedure performed to remove the diseased heart from a patient and replace it with a healthy one from an organ donor.
Heart valve repair or replacement surgery is a treatment option when the heart valves become damaged or diseased and do not function properly.
When symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, low blood pressure, prolonged fatigue, and palpitations continue to occur without a definitive diagnosis obtained with a resting ECG, your physician may request an ECG tracing to be run over a long period of time, using a Holter monitor.
During this procedure, an electronic device is inserted into the chest to help regulate electrical problems with the heart by providing either anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) or shock therapy to prevent sudden cardiac arrest.
Sometimes your veins can become swollen and bulging. These are called varicose veins.
Magnetic resonance angiography – also called a magnetic resonance angiogram or MRA – is a type of MRI that looks specifically at the body's blood vessels.

Carbon County residents may be able to observe the space shuttle Discovery this weekend and during the first part of next week.
"If current predictions hold and the weather cooperates," said NASA Solar System Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins, "we...have an excellent chance of seeing space shuttle Discovery during it's current mission.
On Sunday, Dec. 17, Discovery, still docked with the International Space Station, is expected to rise in the southwest about 6:20 p.m., reaching a point half way up the southeastern sky at about 6:22 p.m. and fading from view as it passes into the shadow of the earth low in the eastern sky at about 6:23 p.m.
The next pass occurs Monday evening when the shuttle, by then undocked from the station, will make a brief appearance half way up the northwestern sky between about 6:42 and 6:43 p.m. followed about a minute later by the space station.
Carbon County's best pass of the current mission will be the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 20, when Discovery will pass out of the Earth's shadow high in the west at about 5:46 p.m., pass nearly overhead about 5:47 p.m. and set in the northeast about 5:49 p.m..
The shuttle and station will look like bright stars moving slowly across the sky and bright enough to be seen even from light polluted urban areas.
Wiggins notes that he always enjoys seeing the space shuttle and space station because he knows "There are heartbeats on board."
For information on where to view the shuttle elsewhere in the sky, sighting information for other areas can be found by following the "See the Space Shuttle" link on Wiggins' Solar System Ambassador website at http://utahastro.info/.

The Orioles today announced that they have declined their 2011 option for LHP MARK HENDRICKSON.
Hendrickson, 36, went 1-6 with a 5.26 ERA (75.1IP, 44ER) in 52 games for the Orioles in 2010, his second season with the club.
-Orioles press release
Thoughts? Should they try to bring him back but for less money? Should they look to Patton or VandenHurk as the future long man? Or should they bring in a FA long relief guy?

Video: Chris Olsen: Affordable entertaining
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- THV's lifestyle guru Chris Olsen with Botanica Gardens is here every Wednesday with great tips for you home and garden. This week he talked about water-sensible gardening and affordable entertaining.
Xeriscaping Defined
Xeriscaping is water-sensible gardening, or using plants that survive on the water that nature provides, with minimal supplementation. The word is derived from the Greek word xeros, which means of course "dry." Though water-wise gardening has been around for such a long time, the modern xeriscaping movement began in the 1980's, believe it or not, in Denver, where landscapers worked with the water department to develop more conservation-oriented plantings.
Most of us may live in communities where water shortages are a concern. So the right plant selection becomes important. You want to concentrate on plants that grow like our native plants. Here is a list of low maintenance plants that are durable and tough. A note of caution-newly planted plants require regular doses of water in the beginning until established. Long stretches of hot dry weather can also be a concern, so when possible provide some water to help your plants survive temporary periods of drought.
Wintergreen Boxwoods.
Most hollies except the Compacta and Helleri varieties.
Junipers such as Seagreen and Grey Owl
German Irises
Crape Myrtles both dwarf and tree form.
Honey Locust trees
Dusty Miller
Russian Sage
These are just a few plants that will thrive in our summer heat with minimum care.
Affordable Entertaining
Are you on a budget but you want to have a party. I can show you how to entertain without breaking the bank.

NORWOOD A variety of artists, bakers and small-business owners crowded the Norwood Municipal Building, 13 Route 56, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Small Business Saturday to support the SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center.
The nonprofit community day care facility held its first benefit vendor show and bake sale, with more than 18 vendors participating with donations and table fees.
Lori J. Moulton, Louisville, director of the day care center, said that although the day care is separate from SUNY Potsdam, about half of the 98 children in its seven program areas are children of either students or faculty of SUNY schools in the area.
Christa K. Kelson, treasurer of the day care center, said this was only the second time its had a fundraiser. She said most of its funding comes through grants and tuition.
The last few years have been really tough, she said. Weve struggled a bit, so were trying to come up with new ways of not imposing more tuition hikes on parents.
Roberta A. Greene, chairwoman of the board of directors for the day care, said it raised $792 Saturday and possibly will purchase a new washing machine.
I was hoping for more, but Im not complaining, she said. Its not bad for our very first one.
Ms. Greene said she had only three weeks to plan the event and she was able to use the Municipal Building. She said she plans to make it an annual fundraiser every Small Business Saturday.
Next time, Ill have a whole year to plan it, so hopefully, it will be even bigger and better, she said.
Heidi M. LaShomb, Chase Mills, is the day care centers cook, and her daughter Jennifer M. Murray, Norwood, is a teacher there. The two of them had a table full of baked goods to sell.
Laurie J. Dustin, Malone, who works at SUNY Potsdam, had two tables at the event, one for her South Hill Designs jewelry and one for Tupperware.
You dont have to have a little store on the side of the road to be a small business, she said.
Ms. Dustin said that she runs several vendor shows in Malone and that the first one is usually the hardest to bring traffic in.
They had it consistent for two hours straight here, and for the first year, thats good, she said. Every year it will get a little bigger. Norwoods small, so it might help to pull some more things into Norwood.
Artist Honey Hill represented her Lisbon business, Bee Art Shop, with several hand-painted Christmas tree ornaments and canvas and wooden pictures. She said that while she does all the painting and runs her business in the north country, her sister Maria Paguio sells her paintings in California, where she lives.
Ms. Hill said that Saturday was another opportunity for her to expose her business.
Jamie E. Perme, West Potsdam, was selling her homemade quilts, teddy bears, hot pads and hand warmers, promoting her business, The Art Room.
Ms. Perme said that the event could have used more advertising because many of the people she talked with had no idea it was happening until they saw the sign on the building.
Ms. Greene said she also raffled off three baskets of items donated by the artists.

MADRID Madrid-Waddington Central Schools superintendent says the district could be broke within five years.
The school joins a growing list of north country districts that expect to be financially viable no longer within several years.
Data indicates that if we are unable to replenish our reserves, due to continually increasing the amount of local fund balance that is applied to our budget, we could have approximately 4.3 years before insolvency, Superintendent Lynn M. Roy said Friday.
To prevent that, the district is working with state legislators to rework the state aid formula to include more credit for districts in rural areas. Children in rural, high-need communities do not have the same educational opportunities as those in wealthier, suburban districts, Mrs. Roy said.
The continued inequitable funding stream widens the divide between school communities across our state, leaving children in rural and poor urban districts at a disadvantage, she said. The current state aid formula does not give credit for those districts below the combined wealth ratio of .65. Madrid-Waddington is currently .515.
The combined wealth ratio is the formula used to determine how much a district can pay toward its students education.
If a district is below that ratio, we are funded as if we have more money and we have to make up the difference through local revenues, she said.
Madrid-Waddington Board of Education members have shared their concerns with state legislators, Mrs. Roy said. Last year, she and other north country superintendents talked with state lawmakers about aid inequities for rural, high-need districts.
This year, we hope to further inform our legislative representatives as well as our community leaders at a community breakfast in early winter after the governors proposed budget is announced, Mrs. Roy said.
In the meantime, the school board and administration will continue to work to develop a budget that compensates for the funding decline while supporting educational programs, she said.
The district has applied several-cost saving measures in recent years, including sharing administrators with Lisbon and Heuvelton central schools and reducing positions through layoffs or attrition in all areas. The district also shares a health teacher through the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
Elementary, art, music, health, drivers education, elementary counselor have all been reduced, Mrs. Roy said.
But junior and senior high school students have experienced a loss of electives because of staff reductions. Extra help programs have been reduced, and a middle school homework club has been lost.
The loss of program and staff indicate that we are closer to educational insolvency, or diminished capacity to provide the necessary educational opportunities for all students to be able to graduate with career and college readiness, she said.

Read: Where Christian Thomas Could Finish In The OHL Scoring Race
At OHL Blog Loose Pucks, Terry Doyle asked people who they thought would lead the OHL in scoring this coming season.
Possible first overall pick Nail Yakupov was the top choice to win the scoring race. As a 17 year old last season, he finished fourth with 49 goals and 52 assists.
Christian Thomas, who finished in sixth last season with 54 goals and 44 assists, was picked to finish fourth this season.
This is Thomas' last season of junior hockey eligibility.
Thomas may get a shot to play in one of the three preseason games the Rangers have before going to Europe, but I don't think he will make the trip with them. I think it would be a good experience for him, but I'm not sure how many extra players they plan to bring over to Europe, especially one that could go back and dominate the OHL again. As a veteran he may be the captain in Oshawa and that could be enough of a reason to send him back and have him try to lead his team to the memorial cup.
Thomas and Adam Graves, an executive with Oshawa, are helping out as coaches in a youth camp that starts today.
Any time that Thomas gets to spend with Adam Graves, on or off the ice, will help him a lot.

Share images, ideas and have fun with friends online.
Skitch allows you to take screenshots on your Mac, edit them and share them with others. It makes the sharing process seamless by making it a natural workflow to send the image (with edited arrows and other highlights helpful to your client) to them via email or automatic website uploads. It is especially popular with the designer community, as they show their clients rough drafts of their work in a nearly automated process. It makes it simple to work remotely with someone and pass on work revisions and get feedback quickly. Other uses include:
- Snap a website
- Capture a chat moment
- Screenshot an application
- iSight snap your bad hair day
- Quickly sketch an idea
- Tap into your iPhoto Library
Re-open images from your Skitch History

Used to be great. Awful now evernote took over; it actually loses data now and has less functionality than before. A massive backward step.
If Skitch quits unexpectedly, deleting the ~/Library/Preferences/com.skitch.skitch.history file can help.
[v. 1.0.4]
Very good app to take screenshots, even if you don't plan to share them online.
Frame capture is especially useful. (I wish there was a button dedicated to this action, in addition to the cmd-shift-7 keyboard shortcut.)
Also, dragging the icon to a pdf document in Preview allows to add screenshots in the document without creating temporary files that I would have to delete afterwards, making the process faster and more fluid.
Quickly stagnating...
This must be the longest beta-stage application I've ever seen. :)
Thanks. Fixed
iut download link points to an outdated beta version that, once installed, complains that its expired on first run and prompts you to download another update.
This should be the right link from their web site I think:
@unremarkable the glitches from October should be resolved.
@bitnix We are working very steadily on a 1.0 now :) Heaps of exciting stuff coming.
When will this app get out of beta? Just curious since it's been around for very long. (And it's still my favorite screenshot sharing tool.)
An interface even quirkier than ImageWell's, but with added instability. If they stopped it crashing, and gave it a standard interface (stop bloody resizing yourselfâ"that's my decision!), and gave it away without you having to fill in your personal details, &c...but until then, I'm sticking with ImageWell.

Installing Windows? ;D That was a BIG mistake.
Well, one night I was reall sleepy and I had just gotten out of the shower and grabbed a glass of water and my hands were somewhat wet from the glass and my hair from the shower ... I laid down on my water bed and decided it was to cold so I reached over to unplug my fan and quickly figured out that the plug was only half in and my wet hand was on the other half .....
