Michigan lights the fuse on legal fireworks
Just as Wisconsin caught up to its neighbor on concealed carry, Michigan has moved on to legalize a class of popular fireworks.
As reported by the Associated Press, Gov. Rick Snyder signed a law legalizing firecrackers, bottle rockets, Roman candles and similar fireworks still illegal in Wisconsin.
One of the reasons noted for the Michigan change is that residents there could easily buy the outlawed fireworks in border states -- including Wisconsin. (As we've written here, you might never know fireworks are in fact illegal from all the retailers selling them in the Badger State).
"Legislators figure that since the fireworks wind up in Michigan anyway, they might as well be legalized so the state can get a piece of the action through jobs, taxes and fees."
Of course -- it's the jobs!
So, we should expect the Legislature to get around to "legalizing" those Chinese (Macau) products that even some gun control advocates explode to celebrate America's birthday.

Chip Innovators Vow To Enforce Moore's Law
Quantum computers, which use up and down atomic spin in place of binary code zeroes and ones, may be subject to less thermal noise by losing less energy to heat. This encouraging notion may accelerate efforts to fabricate the first functional quantum chips.

It's a hell lot more interesting than hearing about yet another company making the same "new" iPod-accessories at horrible prices..
The iPod-commmunity is what drives it all..not those companies (those who don't invent anything new but copy other companies. I have the utmost respect for those who use money in research and come up with innovative products) who are trying to rip us off.

On New Year's Day in 1870, ten-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by an Apache raiding party. Traded to Comaches, he thrived in the rough, nomadic existence, quickly becoming one of the tribe's fiercest warriors. Forcibly returned to his parents after three years, Korn never adjusted to life in white society. He spent his last years in a cave, all but forgotten by his family.
That is, until Scott Zesch stumbled over his own great-great-great uncle's grave. Determined to understand how such a "good boy" could have become Indianized so completely, Zesch travels across the west, digging through archives, speaking with Comanche elders, and tracking eight other child captives from the region with hauntingly similar experiences. With a historians rigor and a novelists eye, Zesch paints a vivid portrait of life on the Texas frontier, offering a rare account of captivity.

The Captured
A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier
By Scott Zesch

New Year's Day
They had no reason to feel afraid when they first saw the three figures on horseback, riding steadily across a distant ridge. Even when the horsemen started heading their way, there was no cause to panic. It was noon, broad daylight. The riders were probably just some neighbors returning home from church. Maybe they were travelers on their way to Fredericksburg. They might be U.S. soldiers or Texas Rangers on patrol. There were many good reasons to believe they weren't Indians. Still, as the riders drew closer, the two miles of riverbank that separated the shepherds from the village seemed like a great expanse.
It hadn't seemed nearly as far that morning, when they'd let the sheep drift upstream. Along the south edge of the Llano River, the herd was greedily ripping up the dry grass. The sheepdog trotted back and forth, keeping the flock from straying. The herders were ten-year-old twin brothers, Adolph and Charlie Korn, with identical broad faces, light flaxen hair, and high foreheads. Adolph had a scar in the middle of his chin. The boys spoke only German.
The hillsides in that region were thick with live oaks, agaritas, and persimmons. The twins kept losing sight of the three horsemen, weaving in and out of the brush. As always, the boys were defenseless. Still, they didn't try to hide; it wasn't their habit to be cautious. Everyone knew that Indians raided on summer evenings when the air was warm and the moon was full, not on a crisp New Year's Day just before a new moon.
The sheep scattered and bleated as the horses galloped into their midst. Adolph was sitting on a log, calmly eating his lunch, when he got his first good look at the three Apache men rushing toward him. Charlie, a short distance away, dove into the bushes and kept quiet. He watched, petrified, as his twin tried to dash for safety. One of the Apaches grabbed Adolph, hit him over the head with a pistol, and hoisted him onto his horse.
Then the Apaches disappeared into the brush like phantoms, as silently as they had come. It was over and done with so quickly that it didn't seem real. The sheep went back to grazing, as if nothing had happened. As if Charlie Korn still had a twin brother.
Those three Apaches dealt my ancestors the hardest blow of their lives on that first day of 1870. My uncle Adolph's capture was the worst and last in a series of disasters his family withstood during their ten-year bout with the Texas frontier. They'd come to this hard, wild country by choice, and their decision turned out to be a poor one.
Grandpa Korn should have stayed in San Antonio, where his family was safe and modestly prosperous. My great-great-great-grandfather was a gentle soul, an immigrant candy maker who loved to host dances and German songfests and play Santa Claus at Christmas. A small, wiry man with large eyes and heavy eyebrows, he walked around the plazas of San Antonio with sweets in his pocket, ready to offer them to his pupils from the Methodist Sunday school. Never very strong, Grandpa Korn had weighed just over three pounds at birth and grew to a height of only five feet three inches. He wasn't cut out for life on the frontier.
Still, he felt the lure of the unspoiled wilderness a hundred miles northwest of San Antonio. His friends told him about the bountiful rivers and springs, the ample grazing land for cattle, the gently sloping hills covered with sturdy oaks and flowering yuccas. Hardly anyone lived there: just a handful of fellow German immigrants and a few soldiers and some drifters from the southeastern states. Grandpa decided to give the ranching business a try.
For all its delicate beauty, the Texas Hill Country is an unexpectedly harsh land. Rainfall is erratic, and the area is prone to drought. Cattle that are round-bellied and healthy during the spring, when the countryside is flowering with bluebonnets, wine-cups, and red Indian blankets, may be wasting away by the end of summer. Mesquites, junipers, and prickly pear spread uncontrollably, draining the shallow aquifer and choking out the native grasses. Bold outcroppings of limestone and granite give the landscape its rugged appeal; but that same rock also underlies the fragile topsoil, waiting to crack the blade of a plow. Grandpa Korn didn't know about that. He was thinking of the money he would make from raising and selling beef cattle. The U.S. Army needed to supply its frontier forts, and the urban markets in Texas and beyond were expanding.
Most of his experience had been in trade, not agriculture. Grandpa Korn — his full name was Louis Jacob Korn — had lived in America twenty-four years before he came to the Hill Country. He'd left his home in Meissenheim, Germany, at the age of nineteen and arrived in New York in 1836. Like many immigrants, he moved around a lot, looking for better opportunities. In 1839 he relocated to New Orleans, then left Louisiana for Texas in 1845. For a few years, he tried farming near New Braunfels, a German-American enclave northeast of San Antonio. He also went into business as a confectioner, and that seemed to suit him. By 1848, at age thirty-one, he was doing well enough to marry Friedrika Grote, a neighbor. Over the next nine years, they had five children.
In the mid-1850s, Grandpa moved his family to San Antonio, where the market for his candies and pastries was larger. It was a good time to be living there. During that decade, San Antonio temporarily eclipsed Galveston to become the largest, most vibrant city in Texas. Businesses flourished, soldiers and traders came and went, and smart new buildings sprang up every month. Grandpa Korn opened his confectionery shop on Market Street, just east of Plaza de las Islas (Main Plaza). His specialty was elaborately decorated wedding cakes, which he displayed in the front window. Louis and Friedrika Korn's children played hide-and-seek in the ruins of the Alamo.
In 1858 Friedrika died unexpectedly of a fever, leaving Grandpa with five children under the age of ten. He needed help, and he found a new partner who was just as needy. Less than a year after my great-great-great-grandmother's death, Grandpa Korn married Johanna Bartruff, a recently widowed immigrant from Germany. She was twenty-one, exactly half his age. Grandpa also adopted her three-month-old twins, Charlie and Adolph.
Louis and Johanna Korn's amalgamated family numbered nine by the time they set out for the Hill Country in the latter part of 1860, and their spirits were high. They awoke each morning to see a light frost on the tall, brown grass and a misty blue haze over the hills ahead. They had every reason to believe that after a few years of hard work and sacrifice, they'd be cattle barons. The nation had just elected a controversial new president, Abraham Lincoln, and South Carolina was threatening to break away from the United States, but that wasn't likely to have much impact on people out in the hinterland.
The Korns established their new home on the eastern edge of Mason County, near the German-American settlement of Castell. They weren't one of the first families there; Castell and its founders had already survived thirteen winters by 1860. The Korns arrived to find a close-knit, orderly community of 137 people whose homes were nestled among the sprawling oaks and native pecan trees. The Llano River was wide and shallow, its clear water pouring over low ledges and swirling around gray and pink rock islands. Ten-acre farm plots with log cabins — what passed for civilization in that remote out-post — already lined the grassy lowland along the north bank of the river. The Korns became members of Castell's Methodist church, the only other token of civilized life in the area.
Although the children of Castell grew up in an idyllic natural setting, everyday life was far from utopian. The older Korn children, accustomed to the relative comfort and urbanity of San Antonio, must have been appalled by their new living conditions. "People living now as we had to live then would be looked on as mighty sorry white trash," declared my granny Hey. She was ten years old when the Korn family arrived in Castell.
Popular culture, especially western movies, has tended to elevate the living standards of settlers on the Texas frontier during the 1860s. In John Ford's The Searchers, for instance, the pioneer family lives in a rustic but comfortable house of several rooms. Its wood-plank floors are covered by woven rugs. The glass windows are curtained. The family eats substantial meals off elegant Blue Willow china neatly laid out on a long, polished table, with plenty of spare dishes on the shelves. Their clothes are tidy and look barely worn. A rocker and a padded armchair wait invitingly beside the fire. On the mantel of the broad fireplace sits a kerosene lamp and a handsome clock.
A typical house in Castell during the 1860s would have looked nothing like that. The immigrants' dwellings were crude log cabins of one or two rooms. The walls never quite fended off the strong gales of a winter norther; however, they did manage to trap the one-hundred-plus-degree heat of August. The floors were hard-packed dirt. No matter how many times a housewife swept them, they still wouldn't seem clean. The thatched roofs leaked. The windows had no screens or glass, only shutters. During the daytime, a person could either leave them open and risk an invasion of grasshoppers, wasps, and mosquitoes, or close them and sweat in a dark room. Cooking was done over an open fire, either in the fireplace, if the family was fortunate enough to have one and the weather wasn't sweltering, or else outside the cabin. At night the only source of light was a twisted rag dipped in tallow and set on a tin plate. It was barely enough to read by; but that didn't matter, because there was hardly anything to read, except the family Bible and maybe an almanac. Most of the children were illiterate, anyway.
The settlers around Castell supplemented their simple diets with whatever they could take off the land: deer, turkey, rabbits, wild plums and grapes, persimmons, even prickly pear apples and weeds. Occasionally, the native plants they ate turned out to be poisonous, making them seriously ill. They didn't do much canning or preserving to store food for the winter, because they didn't have jars. They rarely got wheat flour for bread, and they were desperate for corn. Any time U.S. soldiers camped nearby, the locals scoured the ground afterward for corn their horses might have left uneaten. They also tried to keep a little whiskey on hand to trade the soldiers for grain. "It was a 'lucky' that could afford corn bread, black molasses, bacon and beans six days in the week and biscuits for dinner on Sunday," said Granny Hey. The children dreaded the arrival of visitors during the Sunday meal, because they had to wait and eat at the second table.
Money was scarce. Sometimes the men of Castell left home to take odd jobs such as splitting rails, leaving their wives and children to fend for themselves. As Granny Hey recalled, "Many of the Germans who later became wealthy would work twelve hours a day for fifty cents, and save thirty-five cents of it." Even when the settlers had money, there wasn't much food for sale.
The Korn children didn't attend school — there wasn't any. Sometimes a teacher would attempt to hold classes for a few days or weeks at one of the settlers' houses. Usually, however, the children were needed at home. Like the adults, the youngsters spent almost every day carrying out tedious and repetitive chores. Johanna Korn often told her stepdaughters, "I hope you poor children won't have to work and live as hard as we women have to work and live." She seemed to overlook the fact that they already did. Granny Hey and her sisters hauled water, gathered firewood, milked cows, ground corn (or acorns when there was no corn), herded livestock, made soap, sewed, and washed clothes. The laundry list wasn't extensive; each family member had only about two suits of clothing, made of coarse cotton fabric or deerskin. The kids had no shoes. Their feet and arms itched from frequent brushes with stinging nettle, cat's-claw, and thistles. As they went about their work, they had to watch out for diamondback rattlesnakes along the sandstone ledges and cottonmouth moccasins in the river bottom.
It soon became obvious to Grandpa Korn that Castell wasn't quite the paradise he had envisioned. Yet perhaps, at the end of the day, in the tranquil moments just before dark, Grandpa paused from his hard labor to watch a fiery sunset over the Llano River, observe a skittish whitetail deer at its evening watering, or listen to a bobwhite quail signaling its mate, and thought to himself: Maybe this wasn't a mistake. Stop thinking about San Antonio, New Orleans, New York. This is home now. Somehow, he was going to make it tolerable.
Then everything fell apart. Grandpa Korn had invested $1,200 in cattle — his life savings, plus all of the proceeds from the sale of his confectionery in San Antonio. According to Granny Hey, he "never got one dollar back." It's hard to account for the Korns' complete failure in the cattle business, though the outbreak of the Civil War only a few months after they arrived in Castell must have been a factor. Cattlemen in Confederate Texas had lost their single biggest consumer, the federal army. None of the ranchers in the Hill Country could get reliable information about where and when to sell their livestock; mail arrived once a week at most. Another factor may have accelerated the family's downward slide: the Korns were city folk with little experience raising livestock. The grazing land was unfenced; some of their wild cows strayed and never returned, or were stolen by rustlers or Indians.
Living conditions plummeted during the Civil War, even though Mason County was far from the battlefronts. Even basic foodstuffs were hard to come by. "We had to eat careless weeds and lambsquarter," Granny Hey remembered. "Supper for us children was usually a bowl of mush without milk or cream." The Korns were desperate. They had to try another line of work, and quickly, even at the cost of their self-respect. In a land where a man's status was measured by the head of cattle he owned, Grandpa Korn was soon reduced to raising sheep. What's worse, the smelly, thickheaded animals didn't even belong to him. Louis Korn merely tended the sheep for their owner in exchange for part of the profits.
In search of new grazing land for the sheep, the Korn family left their home in Castell late in 1862 for the hardscrabble country of theSaline Valley, west of Mason. They brought with them the few milk cows they'd managed to keep for household use. Sometimes the family camped out with the sheep. Whenever they stopped in one place for a few months, they put up a makeshift shanty.
As Granny would say: like mighty sorry white trash.
The countryside in the Saline Valley was much rougher and less hospitable than Castell. The hills dropped off suddenly in craggy precipices rather than gentle slopes. Tough, scraggly junipers and daggerlike sotol plants dotted the ridges. The soil was stony, the cliffs a pale yellow caliche. Whereas the families of Castell lived close together, the settlers of Saline were widely dispersed. Some of their cabins were six or seven miles apart — ideal targets for Indian raiders. Indian attacks had increased in the region, for Fort Mason and the other federal army posts on the frontier were left in disarray once the nation split apart.
Unlike Castell, Saline had only a handful of German-American residents. The Korns settled three miles east of the farm of Grandpa's friend, Adolph A. Reichenau, a German immigrant who had moved to Saline from Castell a short time earlier to run cattle. Reichenau, with his heavy dark beard and blue eyes, was a rough-hewn, hardy adventurer who'd served as a soldier and Texas Ranger. As soon as the Korns saw the Reichenaus' compound, they knew what they could expect in the Saline Valley. The two-room log cabin was enclosed by a heavy picket fence made of sharpened cedar poles, with small holes cut so they could shoot at attackers. It wasn't a home; it was a fortress.
The Reichenaus weren't overreacting, for the threat of Indian raids was very real. On April 2, 1862, only a few months before the Reichenaus and the Korns arrived, the Saline community had been shocked by a triple murder. When a settler named Felix Hale went to his elderly neighbors' place to return a wash kettle, he found their cabin on fire and feathers from a mattress strewn about the yard. Near the house, he discovered the charred body of Henry Parks, age seventy-seven. His wife, Nancy, seventy-two, had been killed near the cow pen. Along the creek lay the body of their twelve-year-old grandson, Billy. All three had been scalped.

Missouri Man Buys Massive Yacht, Puts it on a Pond
SIKESTON, Mo. (AP) - George Morris of Sikeston bought a yacht, but he's not setting sail on the high seas.
Instead, he's keeping it on a small pond near his southeast Missouri home.
Morris saw the movie "Secondhand Lions" and began trying to recreate part of the film in which one of the characters floats a yacht in a pond.
Through a series of contacts, Morris was able to find a luxury double-cabin Hatteras in Talladega, Alabama. Getting it back to Missouri wasn't easy because the boat was too big to fit under interstate highway overpasses.
He had to first remove the top deck and bring it separately. He returned for the bottom, and brought back an 18-foot palm tree from Florida for good measure.

VidaBox vCase3 Premium mATX HTPC chassis review
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/04/2010 03:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]
VidaBox vCase3 Premium tested - This chassis is a low profile mATX HTPC chassis with a great design at a reasonable price. Simple, basic, handy -- these are all keywords that apply to the overall design and looks of the vCase3 Premium. Especially in an era where we see form factors change a lot, a chassis like this in the living room can help out a lot. It blends in with the rest of your components really well, it can house the latest mATX motherboards. You can pop in a regular ATX power supply and well... you are good to go. Whether it is entry-level, mid-range or even if you pop in say a high-end ASUS Maximus II Gene with Core i7 870 processor -- it's all possible with this HTPC chassis. Read article

The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in Burkina Faso that began Friday: one on the Splendid Hotel, Capuccino Cafe, and the Yibi Hotel in which more than 25 people were killed, and another attack on a gendarmerie patrol near the northern mining town of Tinakoff in which two gendarmerie were killed.
We extend our condolences to the family of Michael James Riddering, a U.S. citizen killed in this violence. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time, as they are with all those affected by this brutality. Embassy personnel are in touch with local authorities as they continue to assess the situation and are working to assist all U.S. citizens in the area.
We stand with the Burkinabe people against terrorism and extremism. We will continue to support our partners in Africa to combat this shared and lethal threat.

Smacking ban extended to Muslim madrassahs and after school clubs
Islamic schools are to be banned from smacking after a report warned that children were at risk of physical abuse.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls yesterday extend the ban on smacking to all who teach or care for children outside the family including leaders of Muslim madrassahs.
The move followed an investigation by Government adviser Sir Roger Singleton which found evidence youngsters in madrassahs were sometimes given physical punishments, including a 'clip round the ear' or the 'hen' position, where fingers are squeezed around a pencil.
'I do not think that there should be any scope to conceal reality by dissembling with words,' said Sir Roger, chief adviser on child safety.
'A "clip round the ear" could result in a damaging blow to a child's head.'
He went on: 'I was told of other physical punishments such as the "hen" position where fingers are laced with a pencil and squeezed.'
Girls studying at a Madrasah: Ed Balls is extending a ban on smacking to Islamic schools in Britain (file photo)
He also raised concerns about treatment of children in some fundamentalist Christian part-time schools, where biblical references to chastising youngsters are taken literally.
Existing laws outlaw smacking by teachers in schools. But those who tutor children outside school, in part-time educational settings and weekend and evening faith schools are not covered.
These include Britain's estimated 1,600 madrassahs.
MPs had warned Mr Balls that children could be at risk because of the opt-out.
But the minister initially rejected calls to act, with his department insisting it had 'no evidence' children were being abused.
Mr Balls' refusal prompted accusations he was frightened of upsetting Muslim 'sensitivities'.
A week later, he commissioned Sir Roger to conduct a review of the issue. Now his report has revealed that many Muslim leaders, including the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board and the Muslim Parliament, strongly support the banning of physical punishment in madrassahs.
The adviser also disclosed he had visited mosque leaders in Yorkshire.
'They explained that they banned smacking in their madrassahs and that they would take action against any teacher who broke this rule,' he said.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls acted to extend the smacking ban
'However they would not regard an occasional "clip round the ear" as a smack.
'They were concerned that discipline would be compromised if children discovered that there was a ban on smacking or other mild physical interventions.'
But Sir Roger said: 'Notwithstanding the commendable honesty with which the mosque leaders discussed this matter with me, I do not think that there should be any scope to conceal reality by dissembling with words.
'A "clip round the ear" could result in a damaging blow to a child's head.'
Sir Roger said some parents who are opposed to smacking may be afraid to stand up to the power and authority of religious leaders.
'This applies also in some Christian churches including "New" and independent churches and those which are popular in African and other ethnic minority communities,' he said.
'I was told of pastors who advocated the literal interpretation of biblical references to chastising children and at times this led to physical punishments.'
Corporal punishment has been banned in state schools since 1987, and in private schools since 1993.
But educational settings that teach children for less than 12.5 hours a week were not covered.
Teachers in these establishments are considered to have the status of someone standing in for a parent, and can therefore claim the smacking defence available to parents of 'reasonable punishment'.
Accepting Sir Roger's recommendations, Mr Balls said a child 'should not be smacked by anyone outside their family'.
Sir Roger said the definition of family and household - for example, whether it includes grandparents, step-parents, au pairs and nannies - should be left to judges to determine on a case-by-case basis.
But he suggested ministers could in future hold a public consultation on the issue with a view to defining adult family members more clearly.

Welcome to our Parish website
MONTH of MOTHER MARY
The Month of May is dedicated to Mother Mary. The freshness of the spring and the colors of the flowers all bespeak of God's wonderful creation. And the most beautiful creation is Mary our Mother. On 13th May, we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. It was at Fatima that She proclaimed Herself as the Lady of the Rosary and requested that we pray the rosary for the conversion of sinners and for world peace. And on 24th May, we celebrate the Feast of Mary Help of Christians. It is under this title given to Mary that Don Bosco worked countless miracles for the good souls and for bringing joy to the lives of people. We have consecrated our Parish and with it our families and our lives to the care of Mary Help of Christians on Sunday, 1st May 2016, at the May crowning. And so I assure you that She will take care of us to stay strong in our faith and enjoy God's countless blessings each day that is ahead of us. "Have devotion to Mary Help of Christians and you will see miracles".
God bless you all and with my blessing and prayer, In Mary our Mother
Fr. Mathai

Jimmy Kimmel pranks passersby with Ipad Mini flimflam
Pretends Ipod Touch is Ipad Mini
TELEVISION FUNNYMAN Jimmy Kimmel has pulled a prank on US passersby, telling them that an Ipod is the new Ipad Mini.
This is the second time in a month that the joker has pulled this prank. Last time was when Apple launched the Iphone 5. Then he convinced people on the street, many of whom owned an Iphone 4S, that an Iphone 4S was an Iphone 5.
The gag worked. It worked well.
The prank has worked again, this time with the aforementioned Ipod Touch and Ipad Mini flimflam.
Anyone with a passing knowledge of the new Ipad Mini would know that it has a screen that is 7.9in big. That's bigger than an Iphone 4S, and if you want to check that, check your pocket and pull out your Iphone 4S.
The people though were convinced. Many said that the Ipad Mini was "very light", "Nice", "Lightweight", "Pretty cool". Others thought that it was "cutting edge" and "bevelled" and "convenient".
Someone speculated whether it had an HD screen, because it was a little bit shinier. "I'd definitely buy one," said another. The last guy speaks the most sense. µ

Why is anyone surprised by any of this?
When you look at what's gone on between the NHL and its players in recent days -- specifically, the dilly-dallying on Thursday and Friday despite there being days left to save the season -- you can be upset at the owners, Gary Bettman, Billy Daly, Donald Fehr and the Players' Association all you want, but don't be surprised that a deal hasn't gotten done yet after the strides that were made over the last week-plus.
At face value, here's the situation: The sides have agreed on the biggest issues but haven't found middle ground on other ones -- pension, length of contracts, salary variance and the 2013-14 salary cap. They got the biggies out of the way -- hockey-related revenue, the make-whole provision, etc. -- last month, and now they have until next Thursday to sweat one another out and get the sweetest deal.
There are no more games to be saved by coming to an agreement in five minutes vs. coming to a deal on Monday. There are no more games to be saved by coming to an agreement on Monday vs. coming to one on Thursday (the league's drop-dead date). If there's a season, it's going to start on Jan. 19. Fans can be angered by the fact that both sides seem content on using the rope-a-dope method, but they shouldn't be surprised.
They also shouldn't be surprised by whatever shenanigans go on between now and whenever the deal is struck. Owners rewording language regarding hockey-related revenue and sending players into a fury? Sure. Par for the course. Players re-voting to authorize a potential disclaimer of interest? Right on. Be mad at the process, but don't be surprised. Be patient.
All of this waiting will eventually pay off for one of the sides. If the owners cave on the length of contracts and pension, Fehr -- who won the negotiation weeks ago and has only seen the offers get better -- will be an even bigger hero to the players. If the league gets what it wants, they will have benefitted from taking it slow late in the process. The fans won't win either way, but that was never in either side's plans.
As pressing as the issues at hand look right now, there's time to resolve them. If we're standing in the same place on Wednesday, we'll find out just how quickly. The stakes will be higher than ever as the league risks losing its second season in nine years, but if that is what it takes -- and given what a mess this whole thing has been, that wouldn't be a shock -- then that's what it takes. These guys might seem crazy, but at least technically and from an educational standpoint, they aren't stupid.
It's easy to look at the ticking clock and apparent distrust between the sides and assume the worst, but it's terribly difficult to imagine that a deal won't get done by the drop-dead date. The sides know what one another want, and despite where it might rank among one another's priorities, they both want there to be hockey this season. Neither the owners nor the players want the reputation of being the league that breaks up more than Elaine and David Puddy. [Admittedly, that's a pretty weak analogy, but everyone dealing with the lockout (including me) has already exhausted Ross and Rachel a thousand times and most other couples in TV shows just break up for good. Sam and Diane would be even more cliché than Ross and Rachel, though J.D. and Elliot might work. Did Joey Gladstone ever date anyone?]
So both sides know where they want to be, know how long they have to get there and know what the consequences are if they don't. Right now, Donald Fehr looks like a man who has gotten the owners to cave in ways previously unthought-of (at least on this end). If this season gets canned -- which seems so unlikely that it feels silly even writing it -- Fehr becomes the guy who cost the league a season because he called the league's bluff one too many times.
As of Friday afternoon, both sides had met with mediators but were unable to be brought together to actually hammer out details face-to-face. Just a wild guess, but you think that issue will still exist when it really gets to crunch-time?
Sure, you can say that it's already crunch-time. You can say that crunch time should have been before Sept. 15. It should have been in the middle of October when they were trying to save an 82-game season. It should have been in early November before the Winter Classic was cancelled. It should have been last month.
Nope. There was one crunch-time that both sides have had in mind. While the Jan. 11 date is specific to the NHL, there's no doubt that Fehr wanted to wait to squeeze out the best deal possible. Otherwise, he would have taken what was an acceptable-enough offer in early December or the league's better proposal last Thursday.
So, hockey fans, you may not like hearing this, but it's the way it is: Despite the fact that you've waited more than long enough, you might need to wait a little longer. After nearly four months, having to wait however many more days -- one, three, six -- should feel like nothing.
Dale, Michael and Jerry dig into the details of this draft for the Patriots with ESPN's Mike Reiss.
