They haven't. If you like me have been hoping for a true Elder Scrolls MMO this isn't it. This is DAoC 2 in Tamriel. Not saying it will be a bad game, and maybe it'll be fun to play, but take it for what it is. Otherwise you'll just be disappointed.
You know this how?Have you played the game?Niether have I and I still think it looks pretty good.What about this game in your vast experience makes it not a true Elder Scrolls MMO?I love comments like this without any real explanation as to why you think your right and everyone else is wrong.

To be fair, I think everyone recognizes that what an Elder Scrolls single player game does and what this game is going to do are two completely different things.

No it really will not. As with every single last clone with a twist, inital sales, hype and praise are through the roof, then 25% dont go past the first free month, 50% have quit by the third month and the game is deemed a failure by the wider community, 75% gone by 6 months, 90% gone by a year and the game goes f2p or b2p or should go.
Then we get the next clone hyped as the 'next big thing' and it starts over. Where have you been the past decade?

If crafting is an important part of this game, which it wasn't for Rift or GW2, then they have my attention. However, I'm still hesitant to get too hyped until I see some meaningful info and gameplay.
this guy worked on UO. His boss worked on DAOC. Crafting is extremely important in both thoose games and the TES single player series, I think crafting will have a larger slice of the pie than in your typical wow style mmo.
this is how hypes are created ladies and gents......no dev even has the balls these days to create something like UO so dont hype it up to be just like UO ok?
Even modern day mmo's dont even come close when it comes to community like UO had back in the days.......i played it more then 10 years ago and still remember this guy who was grandmaster smith with an awesome rep (lord Ullysees, spelling might be off but this guy was just known for quality crafted items.)
These days we dont even remember who was in our party last night.....community = gone.
And when there is no community feeling there will be no trading with people, maybe just a AH like all games have these days so you don't have to talk to people ingame.
just mho
cant wait to try it out
hopefully it will keep me busy not just for a couple of hours or so heh XD
There are people who play games and then there are gamers.

Now it could be dev speak but in the interview, Paul Sage says that reaching the level cap is approximately 1/3rd of the way through progression and I'm willing to bet this doesn't include vertical gear progression. I know we've all been burnt before but theres nothing wrong with trusting what the devs say.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

There's absolutely everything wrong with trusting what anyone has to say, particulary people attempting to make a buck. I mean, you even mentioned it in your post: we've all been burned. How many times does it take to learn a lesson? Scientifically speaking, I have no fucking clue.

Hey guys, do you reckon I can shoot scaling ladders at the wall and all like do flips and rolls while throwing 1 shot daggers from my awesome ninja clothes then can i like cut ladder ropes and fall 10 storeys into a dive roll and live and then give death stares to elf chicks!
Anyone here really think that video in any way represented the game, no story, no motives, nothing of any value at all, and to top it off they basically said heres a whole bunch of acrobatics and attack moves that won't be in the game and that you won't be able to replicate within the game at all, dont worry though this game has elves!
Heres a perspective. Go watch any WoW cinematic video and ask yourself the question "Is this possible in the game or does this exist in the game?". Then watch the TESO cinematic and ask the same question.

For years I've thought that if they directly translated TES games into a MMO format, that'd it'd be a fun world to explore with other players. Notice, I said directly translate. What I've heard so far has shown me that they've made concessions or have tweaked what we know to appeal to the mass market I'd guess you'd say.
1. Having factions is a big NO NO! Other than the guilds and armies/rebellions we've seen in TES series, since when were there restrictive racial factions the way we're seeing them in TESO? We should be able to pick a race and explore the world just like in TES games. We should be able to join guilds (Fighters, Mages, Thieves, Dark Brotherhood etc) as well.
2. Lack of the Imperial Race. Why? It's my favorite race and what I usually play. Once again, another unacceptable departure.
3. Housing. A staple in every TES game so far, yet it's not going to be in at release for TESO?
4. Werewolves and Vampires. Not sure if we can contract this virus in TESO, but another feature in the series.
5. Open ended skill system. Play as you want, no classes. This is by far one of the hugest issues I have.
6. Hotbars. You could assign a limited amount of spells, potions, and weapons to activity slots, but there weren't usuable skills and certainly not any Elite skills. This is a copy from games like GW2, and a huge departure from TES series. Unacceptable and a game killer for me.
7. Thievery. You could attempt to steal anything you wanted, break in anywhere, the jail system, and kill any NPC's you wanted. There were consequences, but that freedom is huge in TES series. If it's not in the game, then it's just another reason why TESO isn't a true TES game.
8. Heavily instanced. Every TES game was open world. Dungeons and buildings were instanced, but nothing else. It should remain that way for TESO. Shards is another huge turnoff. Haven't liked its implementation in any game that's used them so far (AOC, SWG, TSW etc).
That's all I can think of right now. Basically, they're taking things out of the series that I considered staples of the series, puting things in to accomodate the MMO crowd that's never been in a TES game, sharding up and instancing the game. IMHO, the game may be TES in spirit, but not an actual TES game. Probably could slap another name on it and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this game and most other MMORPG's.
All new mmo's are the best thing since sliced bread until they come out.. Seen mmo's go from hero's to zero's in less than month.
I do want to play this game, but I am not going to hype myself, in fact keeping expections low, I find that has worked well for me after years of gaming and let downs,, crossing my fingers...:)
"What do you think of all we know of TESO so far? Are you signed up? Or are you waiting to see what the game has to offer?"
I think there are a couple of things I'm still not completely certain about, but they won't be fully borne out, in my mind, before I get to play the game, and there's no reason to bring them up, here.
I am signed up; my sons and I signed up yesterday. Because we have only one, perhaps two, computers that would be able to run the game, however, we've signed up together on one. The reason all three of us signed up is because each of us has different ideas of what we like from game-play, different levels of experience with game-play and beta-testing, and each of us write's differently. I would rather be honest and up-front than sneaky.
I am waiting to see what the game has to offer, though I'll tell you that I loved Oblivion to death, have not been able to play Skyrim or Morrowind, as yet, but the quality I've heard of from all three games, with regards to story, tasks, fighting, and advancement makes me want to play this game a good deal. Yesterday's trailer, though I understand those are NOT in-game graphics, gives me that same sense of quality of craftsmanship from the previous games, made me pant and want more, like a television show on Machinima, as has been done with Dragon Age (Felicia Day is hot), HALO 4: Forward Unto Dawn, and the non-game entity, BattleStar Galactica: Blood and Chrome, all of which were superior for being free internet programming. I will be very happy to start out with the game, however, and go from there.
Mr. Sage expressed that people would WANT to participate in PvP, and I am here to tell him that I want to play in an adventure, I want to discover the story, I absolutely blow at PvP, and will have nothing to do with it.

BABC Accomplishments
Regional Bicycle Advisory Committee (REBAC) founded to address multi-county and region-wide bicycle policy and infrastructure issues in the San Francisco Bay Area.
San Francisco Bay Trail, "…a continuous recreational corridor which will extend around the perimeter of San Francisco and San Pablo bays," authorized by the passage of SB100 in the California State Legislature. Regional Measure 1, which raised tolls on state-owned bridges to a uniform $1, is approved by Bay Area voters. Funds from the measure were used to build bike and pedestrian pathways on the Benicia-Martinez Bridge and the Al Zampa Memorial (Carquinez) Bridge.
As one of the members of the Association of Bay Area Governments advisory committee, REBAC helps write the Bay Area Trail Plan to create a network of bicycling and hiking trails that when complete, will be 500 miles long and ring San Francisco and San Pablo bays.
REBAC supports the passage of Prop 116 to fund the Capitol Corridor, San Joaquin, and Pacific Surfliner intercity trains which are equipped with bike racks in each of the specially designed California cars.
Cal train introduces its Bike-on- Board Program. The success of this demonstration project and the hard work of regional bicycle advocates have led to several expansions of bicycle access on Caltrain.
24-hour bicycle access to the Golden Gate Bridge is provided by remote-controlled gates at each end of the East walkway. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is one of the partners in this cooperative project between the City and County of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District.
The East Bay Bicycle Coalition sponsers its first pancake breakfast on Bike to Work Day.
First organized by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956, Bike to Work Day goes statewide in California.
After a six month trial period beginning in October of 1996, the inconvenient BART permit system for bicycle access is abolished.
The Bay Area Toll Authority approves $50 million to build a bicycle and pedestrian pathway on the new East span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. When completed, the pathway will provide bicycle and pedestrian access from Yerba Buena Island to Oakland. It is named the Alex Zuckermann Bicycle Pedestrian Path after REBAC's founder and commemorates his tireless efforts to win bicycle and pedestrian access to the bridge.
Golden Gate Transit Route 40 buses are equipped with bike racks to provide bicycle access across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
The Regional Bicycle Advisory Committee is reorganized as the Bay Area Bicycle Coalition (BABC). Recognizing that more county bicycle coalitions had come into existence and were growing stronger in membership and effectiveness on local issues, BABC became a non- membership organization representing the local coalitions on bicycle policy and infrastructure issues at the regional level.
BABC successfully convinces the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the regional transportation planning agency for the nine Bay Area counties, to create the Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Program to fund bike and pedestrian projects. $200 million over 25 years is approved to construct the Regional Bicycle Network and build bicycle/pedestrian projects serving schools or transit.
Regional Measure 2, which raised tolls on state-owned bridges by $1, is approved by Bay Area voters. Funds from the measure have been used for a variety of transit, bike, and pedestrian projects, including $22.5 million for Safe Routes to Transit, a program that funds improvements for bicycle and pedestrian access to regional transit stations. BABC receives a grant from Bikes Belong for Regional Transportation Plan advocacy efforts. The Metropolitan Transportation Commissionawards BABC a contract to coordinate Bike to Work Day in the nine Bay Area counties.
BABC hires its first Executive Director, Cole Portocarrero. Despite rainy weather, BABC holds its first successful Bike to Work Day on May 19. BABC organizes a 100 mile ride around San Francisco and San Pablo bays called Bay in a Day.
With strong support from BABC and the local coalitions, the MTC approves Resolution No. 3765 – Routine Accommodation of Pedestrians and Bicyclists Study and Recommendations. This policy, along with the MTC Transportation 2030 Plan, mandates that bicyclists, pedestrians and wheelchair users must be given full consideration in all transportation construction Team Bike Challenge is launched as part of Bike to Work Day. During the month of May teams of individuals, including seasoned and novice riders and an optional "Big Wheel" (elected official, CEO, manager, or journalist) keep track of their bike trips and compete against other teams for the most points and a grand prize. BABC organizes the second Bay in a Day ride with 100 and 200 mile ride options around San Francisco and San Pablo bays.
BABC is awarded a grant from the San Francisco Foundation to complete a strategic plan. BABC receives it second grant from Bikes Belong for Regional Transportation Plan advocacy efforts BABC hires its first Advocacy Director, Sabrina Merlo.
BABC, East Bay Bicycle Coalition, Marin County Bicycle Coalition and San Francisco Bicycle Coalition win a victory in the decades-long struggle to secure bicycle access on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge when the Bay Conservation and Development Commission passes a resolution in support of bicycle and pedestrian access on the bridge. Despite recent setbacks in this effort, BABC will continue its work to ensure that access is finally secured. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission releases the Draft Regional Transportation Plan which outlines how $226 billion in transportation funding will be spent over the next 25 years. BABC successfully leads the fight to increase designated funding for the Regional Bicycle Network from $200 Million to $1 billion.

- Idea Cellular gives undertaking to Supreme CourtCabinet approves 5% spectrum usage charge on new airwaves acquired in auctionBharti Airtel suggests new formula to calculate spectrum usage chargesSupreme Court thumbs up to spectrum auction, refuses relief to Vodafone India, Bharti Airtel, Loop Mobile
With the Supreme Court (SC) on Sunday refusing telecom players like Bharti Airtel and Vodafone immediate relief in the matter of their licences being renewed for another 10 years, auctions for spectrum in the 1800/900 MHz bands, starting Monday, should see good participation. The government is hoping to mop up close to Rs 40,000 crore from the auctions.
The telecom companies had moved the apex court on Saturday after the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) on Friday rejected their plea for an extension of their licences.
Licences of Bharti in Delhi and Kolkata and Vodafone in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are due to expire in November 2014 as the 20-year lease comes to an end.
Under the governments policy, the spectrum held by them in the 1800 and 900 MHz bands in these circles would be put up for auction and the companies would have to buy it back.
The telcos, however, have been asking that their licences be extended for another 10 years based on mutual discussions, arguing that their licence conditions never mentioned a provision for an auction.
While a bench comprising justices AR Dave and SA Bobde in a special court hearing admitted the telcos plea challenging the TDSAT order, it refused to grant any interim relief, saying they could not enjoy a monopoly forever and that this is bound to happen.
Bharti and Vodafone have a total of 10 MHz spectrum each in Delhi and Mumbai. (However, Bhartis Mumbai licence came after 1994 and, therefore, its not up for renewal this November.) Of this, 8 MHz is in the more efficient 900 MHz band while the remaining 2 MHz is in the 1800 MHz band.
In Kolkata, Bharti has 6.2 MHz spectrum in the 900 MHz band and 1.8 MHz in the 1800 MHz band, while Vodafone has 7.8 MHz in 900 MHz and 2 MHz in the 1800 MHz band. All these airwaves will now be auctioned and the telcos will need to buy it back. While Bharti and Vodafone plan to participate in the auctions, Loop Mobile, which operates in Mumbai, does not intend to take part. The company has 8 MHz of spectrum in 900 MHz band and 2 MHz in the 1800 band in the Mumbai circle.
While there is abundant spectrum in the 1800 MHz band in these circles, airwaves in the 900 MHz band, where Bharti and Vodafone will have

Ever wonder where the term 420 came from? Well, wonder no more!
A group of five San Rafael (California) High School friends known as the Waldos -- by virtue of their chosen hangout spot, a wall outside the school where they would meet every day at 4:20 PM to indulge in cannabis -- coined the term in 1971.
The Waldos never envisioned that pot smokers the world over would celebrate each April 20 as a result of their daily gathering. The day has managed to become something of a national holiday in the face of official condemnation.

Irish, Bison not cursing their luck
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When the seedings for the Class A state tournament were released last week and revealed yet another Charleston Catholic versus Buffalo game, many thought it was the Bison who would yelp.
After all, Buffalo has lost its last 32 meetings with the Irish, including three already this season.
Well, Catholic can't be all that enamored with the matchup, either, having beaten a good team thrice this season and looking for a fourth conquest.
But both teams have been taking the high road since the announcement came that No. 3 seed Catholic (22-3) and No. 6 Buffalo (21-4) will open the 100th state tournament at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in the quarterfinals at the Civic Center.
"From our perspective,'' said Irish coach Bill McClanahan, "and I would suspect Buffalo is the same way, we're happy to be there. It's not a given that you get to the state tournament. You have to earn your way there. To get there, you have to be one of the last eight teams playing. It's an accomplishment and an honor.
"Being there is a fantastic thing. Who you play? Well, you've got seven choices and you end up with one of them. The voting and the ranking we do the last few years is as good and fair a system and way to do it, from my perspective. How it works out is how it works out.''
Like Buffalo coach Chuck Elkins indicated last week, McClanahan said Catholic's past successes against the Bison - which include no losses since a sectional game on March 5, 1997 - mean nothing this week. It's a clean slate.
"As far as being our fourth time against Buffalo [this season],'' McClanahan said, "we're preparing like it's the first time.
"Our mindset has to be that it's the state tournament - a different court and different officials - and we have to treat it like it's a different team. It's the fourth time, but it's the first time.''
Of course, playing Buffalo is always a bit different for most teams.
The Bison plays at a breakneck style, often running and pressing the length of the court for 32 minutes, taking the 3-pointer when it's there, to make up for a decided lack of height.
"It's fun to be back in Charleston.'' Elkins said after the regional win at Parkersburg Catholic. "I don't know [if it affects] our kids' confidence. They just go and play.
"With 30 seconds to go [in the regional], Laythen [Good] asked me, 'Do you still want me to shoot it out of the corner?' Sure. That's the way we've played all year. We're not going to change up. We're confident that we do what we need to do, and we'll just keep playing.''
McClanahan doesn't expect a different look from the Bison on Wednesday.
"Buffalo has been very successful,'' he said, "and had a great year. I'm not expecting them to change anything that they do. It would be a disservice to them to expect anything different. They've proven they belong there. They earned their way there - doing the pressing and the pushing of the basketball and mixing up their zones.
"Their style of play has been very successful and got them where they are. All eight of the teams at the state tournament probably have a different style, and they're going to ride their style - whatever that style is.''

Trip to Poland, 1937 (An Ongoing Series): Dining and Entertainment on Ship
The first image is the cover of the luncheon menu offered aboard the M.S. Pilsudski on 10 June 1937. The back of the cover states that the photo is, "A fragment of the castle at Krasiczyn, since many centuries the property of the ducal family of Sapieha. A typical country residence of the erstwhile powerful and influential aristocracy of Poland." The menu for the luncheon looks delicious, well, except for the "sauerkraut juice." Menu items include: Cold filet of capon, beef saddle, consomme with noodles, soup Russian style, omelet with spinach, poached eggs Hollandaise, roast beef Anglaise, broiled lamb chops, and petit duc. The desserts sound intriguing--rissole with jam, pudding diplomate, and pineapple ice.
The group photo was taken in the dining room aboard the M.S. Pilsudski. My aunt Helen Bulak is in the center. I believe her dining companions are Mrs. Gralicka and daughters and Mrs. Pomianowska.
The final set of images is of a program for an "entertainment" on board entitled, "Galaxy of Stars, graciously offered by the passengers of the M.S. Pilsudski." Apparently the Galaxy of Stars took place, "At sea, June 9th 1937 - 9:30 P.M."

I do not think I would care for the sauerkraut juice either, but I love sauerkraut. I am finding this series very interesting.

Hi GrannyPam. I too like sauerkraut, but sauerkraut juice just does not sound appealing. Kind of like drinking pickle juice, if you know what I mean. I'm glad you're enjoying my series. Thank you for reading.

The Nike 6.0 Women's Bellevue Jacket may look like it was designed by tech-savvy, fashion-driven shred junkies, but that's just because it was. This jacket manages to combine a street look with legit features to keep you looking hot on the hill and feeling great while you ride.
- Integrated, insulated vest warms your core
- Fully taped seams prevent water from sneaking in between the stitching
- Underarm zip vents ditch excess heat so you don't end up drenched in sweat
- Powder skirt won't let snow fly up your back when you're floating through the deeps
- Media pocket with cord-management system keeps you close to your tunes

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Love this jacket. I have never worn it with the vest, but it's a really good cut for women and nice and long. I normally wear medium, but exchanged it for a large so I could have plenty room for riding. The medium would've been perfect for casual wear though. Lots of good pockets, nice material, and the neck/hood is a really good size for having fully zipped up
Hi Kayla - how tall are you? I'm 5'2" and thinking of getting this jacket, but am not sure whether to get the small or the XS. I want it to fit well without being too long/wide as I'd most likely only layer a bit underneath... thx
Not exactly what I expected
Don't get me wrong, I love the jacket. April is right it looks great with out the vest. I prefer to wear it without the vest because it is less bulky. If you're looking for a jacket that is insulated I would not order this one unless you plan to layer well underneath and wear the vest. I wear this on warmer sunny park days and in the city. It sounds like some come with wrist gaiters and others don't(depending on where you order it from) but I believe dogfunk's come with wrist gaiters, mine did anyway. The only real issue I have had with the coat is the stitching on the chest pocket for your iPod, it is coming apart, but I use this pocket the most. Other than that, its a sweet jacket.
Great jacket
This jacket looks great without the vest. No wrist gaiters is a bummer, but the long fit of the jacket is perfect for keeping snow out and covering your back when you bend over. Pair this with a Cilla baselayer and you're gonna be golden.
Love it
This jacket is awesome. The shell is the perfect thickness for me. It has a couple of legit sized pockets inside. Nice velro pocket on the outside of the jacket to hold your ipod or iphone. The vest is really warm. You could wear just the shell on an average day, and throw on the vest when it gets a little colder. :)
Is the jacket cut for a more relaxed fit...
Is the jacket cut for a more relaxed fit so you can layer underneath or is it a more slim cut? I'm 5'2" and 115lbs so not sure whether to order the S or the XS.
Hey Laura, thanks for your question. Nike does call this a relaxed fit so it sounds like the XS would be okay for you. What is your chest and waist measurement, that's the best way to determine your size.

Dr. Sameer Hinduja Presenting a ground-breaking research at the first-ever White House Conference on Cyber Bullying Prevention
In March 2011, President Obama convened the first-ever White House Conference on Bullying Prevention. This conference appropriately recognized the critical role that research plays in informing policy and practice by briefly giving the "national stage" to distinguished researchers and experts. Dr. Hinduja and his colleague Dr. Justin Patchin from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire were both invited, and their ground-breaking research on cyberbullying was prominently featured and lauded. They were asked to write a white paper on the topic for the White House. Dr. Hinduja continues to work extensively with Federal and State Departments of Education on this and other issues of teen technology misuse.

http://mmajunkie.com After what he's been through in the semifinals of Bellator's season-six featherweight tournament, Daniel Straus believes there's little he can't conquer.
"I believe I can win it, so I'm just trying to keep a little confidence on my side," Straus told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com).
Fighting through the recent death of a training partner and a tough opponent in Mike Corey, the 27-year-old has proven himself a resilient competitor.
Straus (19-4 MMA, 5-1 BFC) nearly stopped Corey (13-2-1 MMA, 2-0-1 BFC) with a one-two in the first minute of their semifinal fight, which took place this past Friday at Bellator 65. But Corey charged back and pushed him to the final bell.
"We're similar fighters, so I knew some of my game plan was going to have to change up," Straus said. "I went in there with the best mindset I could. He stalled out some of my tactics, but I was just happy to get the win over him."
As Straus admitted post-fight, his mindset wasn't where it needed to be, and through no fault of his own. A week prior to Bellator 65, two of his teammates were involved in a high-speed car crash. One of them, Chris Smith, was killed on impact while the other, Dominique Steele, was seriously injured.
Straus said Smith was not only a teammate but a leader at Team Vision, the Cincinnati-based gym where they trained.
"But I know what he would have wanted from me," Straus said of Smith. "He wouldn't have let me back out of this fight. So that's all I really thought about when I went in there. When I fight, I'm not just doing it for me. I fight for a lot of people, and he's definitely one of the people I'm fighting for."
Corey hit so hard during the fight, he prompted Straus to spit out his mouthpiece when a tooth was knocked free.
"It was hard for me to bite down on my mouthpiece, so I had to spit it out because I was just in so much pain," Straus said. "Fighting a guy like him, you're going to get tired. But that's just another part of the game that I've got to start working on."
But in the end, an effective mix of counterpunching and takedown defense won the day for Straus, who advances to the finals to face Marlon Sandro (22-3 MMA, 5-1 BFC), who makes his second appearance in a Bellator tournament final after losing to current champ Jeff Curran in the promotion's Summer Series competition.
"Some people haven't really been impressed with how he's fighting lately," Straus said of Sandro. "But then again, a lot of people could say that about me. So I don't really go with the mindset of, 'Oh, he's slowing down.' When we get into that cage, I know he's coming to knock my head off. So I'm expecting the best Marlon Sandro that ever lived."
And Straus believes an angel will be watching over him when that happens.
"Whatever comes in front of me, I feel like I can conquer it," he said.

Tangy mustard teams up with the dried rosemary to liven up these delicious baked pork chops. And as a bonus, this easy-to-prepare meal is both low in fat and high in vitamin A from the colorful carrots.

Very easy and VERY tasty. I had to cook the potatoes a bit longer because they weren't tender, but after they were done, it tasted great!
This is delicious. My husband actually loved it.
I followed the recipe and the outside of the pork was mushy (the breading) and the inside was tough. The dijon overpowered the rosemary also, so it was as if I had dumped dijon mustard on dry pork. I won't be making this again.

After today, I'm thinking 6 or 7. I'd be thrilled to get to .500. I'm still holding out hope that it's a play to your competition thing.
This team is so frustrating to watch. I can't remember another ISU men's team go from looking so good for ten minutes to so lifeless and disinterested the next ten minutes... all in the same half.
Facing Texas, A&M, MU, KU, OSU to start conference play looks a lot different today than it did before the season started. Something needs to change big time.
If we keep producing the lifeless, disinterested stretches, maybe 3. Can't do that against better competition.
Since we keep producing those stretches, my guess is that 3 is going to be a tough # to achieve. It shouldn't be, but it looks like it.
We'll qualify for the Big 12 tournament, but just barely.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Hoping and dreaming for 8 or 9. If not, what a bust this season will have been.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
2. Yes, 2. Unless something changes. Something I like to call hustle and defense for a full game.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Pretty much every game we go through about a 10-15 min stretch where we just can't score and our offense becomes just dribbling around and chucking up 3's.
If that doesn't change, we'll be lucky to win more than 4 conference games. Only a small handful of games where we just shoot lights out from 3 will be winnable.
At their current level of play, 6 wins would be overachieving IMO.
For now I am in denial. I love hustle basketball and loved the brand that ISU had last year. It left such hi expectations for when CFH got the talent level up. Seemed like this year would be a step up and it still can be. The question is, will playing league flip on the switch? If not 4 wins. If the switch flips the sky is still the limit. Go Cyclones.
4 or 5

Unfortunately I agree with you. We will get our doors blown off in the Big 12 if we keep continuing to play like we have in the Non-Con.
Really disappointed in Freddy's coaching this year, and I have been and still am a big fan and supporter of the Mayor.
I think 6 wins. They play to the talent level of the other team so they will have a lot of close games but I don't see them getting much over 6 wins.

I think we all love Freddie but to date he hasn't shown much as far as being a game day coach. That show's in this teams lack of hustle and focus. I don't mind struggling against bad teams or even losing, as long as the effort and intensity is there but most of these guys don't seem to treat regular season games any different than the summer leagues. At this rate I only see 4 or 5 conference wins, I think we'll win a couple games we shouldn't but underachieve for the most part.
Originally Posted by cyclonedave25

2 at most unless some major changes happen.
With the current approach, I could see something like 5-13. Could be fewer than that, if we don't get a mostly-full game against any of the weaker teams (which is looking like Tech & OSU).
ISU may be able to out-talent a team like Baylor if the shots are falling.
I thought I was playing it relatively tame with 10-8 or 9-9 projection I made in preseason.
6, we'll get hot from downtown in a few games against the middle of the pack, but we just aren't reliable enough on the defensive end and lack hustle/focus at times. This whole team needs to start trying to mimic Tyrus! He is just pure smart ball and energy. Keep it up McGee and Royce get well soon so you can start flexing your muscle again!

I have been having these problems for a while now. The problem is this:
1. When I start Zimbra, it froze at the splash page. The three icon animations are still moving, but nothing else happen.
2. When I try to uninstall it, the language selection page appears, but when I click next, it disappears. Nothing else happen after that. It just vanishes.
3. When I try to install new version (without installing), in the normal mode, it says that it cannot create charsets.jar, but in windows safe mode, it says "cannot start zimbra core desktop service".
I am using Vista. I have attached the log here. Hope someone can help.

ORLANDO -- The man accused of fatally shooting teenager Trayvon Martin is asking a Florida judge Tuesday to remove him from court-ordered GPS monitoring and to order prosecutors to turn over more records from investigators in the February shooting, The Orlando Sentinel reports.
George Zimmerman, accused of second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting of the 17-year-old, is claiming self defense.
RELATED | Photos show bloody Zimmerman after Martin shooting
Judge Debra Nelson already has agreed to allow Zimmerman's lawyers to re-depose Sanford police investigator William Erwin, whom the defense says was present when police played 911 audio for Trayvon Martin's father, the Sentinel reports. And the state also must turn over the original recording of Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump's interview of a girl identified as Trayvon's girlfriend, Nelson ruled.
Police say the teen's father initially denied that the voice heard screaming on the 911 call, before the fatal shot, was his son. The girlfriend, identified as Witness 8, says she was on the phone with Trayvon in the moments before the shooting. She is a key state witness.
On the GPS questions, Zimmerman argues that he "needs to be able to travel more freely... for reasons of his own personal safety and... to have the ability to assist his defense" by meeting with witnesses, including experts," the Sentinel reports.
Zimmermani s free on $1 million bond -- with the GPS monitoring -- while awaiting a trial now scheduled for June.

Kimberly Wales has worked in the Thoroughbred industry as a jockey, exercise rider and feature writer. During the 2011 racing season, she worked mornings for trainer Larry Pierce, and occasionally helped in The Gift Horse and the track's media department. Kimberly also submits occasional feature stories about Thoroughbred racing.
By Kimberly WalesThe spring air bites as you walk through the barn area on the backstretch of Emerald Downs in Auburn, Washington. Dodging the puddles on the blacktop, the overnight rain has refreshed and heightened the aroma of dirt, sawdust pellets, manure bins and that all so alluring scent of horses.Hot walking machines tow at halters. Thoroughbreds dance in freedom of a morning haze. With every playful lunge by one, the others join in. Squeals ring out. Nostrils blow. Heads toss. Heels kick. Steam rises from sleek backs. Through the eyes of a trainer, this is peace. Nostalgic and unexplainable really, it is this deep appreciation for Thoroughbreds that drives them to follow hooves across the ovals of America like so many wandering gypsies.For the average person, a trainer's life might appear easy. Yet, beyond the glamour of the afternoon races, while saddling prancing ponies and gracing the winner's circle, there is the 24/7 grind. Though training comes with some prestige, there is certainly much more to getting a horse to the races than strapping on a saddle, giving a jockey instructions and shaking the hands of clients.Trainers face big challenges every day. Horses compete for the same prize money and must perform well to earn good checks. So needless to say there is pressure. Still, there is the joy. For many, the job is personally rewarding in comparison to those mundane vocations outside the stable fences. Horse training is an occupation of constant variety. There are never two days alike, for horses (unlike widgets or paper) are living breathing creatures. Trainers wear the hats of coach, parent, doctor and psychologist. Having a good eye, gut instincts and the gift of horsemanship are imperative to success. And, as the saying goes, good horses can make you and bad horses can break you.As with any other business, race trainers must possess the skills of management, organization and customer service. They are the ultimate multi-taskers, overseeing a group of stable employees that includes assistants, grooms and exercise riders. But most importantly, they look after and care for the four-legged animals that can't speak for themselves.A typical day starts with the alarm clock ringing at 4 a.m. Arriving at the barn after coffee, horses are haltered, and sometimes served a small breakfast of oats. Grooms armed with brush boxes begin the rigorous task of rubbing hides, removing manure and dust, combing knots from manes and tails, dodging a kick here, a bite there. Trainers and their assistants peruse stalls running hands down legs, taking temperatures, checking feed tubs and looking for signs of even the slightest overnight change in their charges. Tack is prepared for morning exercise and the arrival of jockeys, pony and exercise riders. There are the routines of weekly breezes, starting gate approval, equipment changes, schooling in the paddock, all within individualized training plans.Stalls are cleaned and bedded. Having completed their work at the track, Thoroughbreds stand steaming on wash racks receiving sudsy baths. Hooves are painted with grease. Legs are done up in mud, liniment, ice or bandages.By noon, hay nets are stuffed and water buckets are topped off. Oats are cooked. Tack is thoroughly cleaned and oiled. The laundry is washed and hung and the shed row raked in careful herringbone patterns. Veterinarians make their rounds, farriers hammer shoes, horse vans come and go, and the feed men deliver weekly orders. A few hours of rest, and it's back to the barn for afternoon feeding. A horse running in the first race adds pressure to the morning—barely allowing a trip home to shower and change clothes—while a horse running in the nightcap makes for an extraordinarily long day. In four hours the routine repeats itself.But that by no means is it!In between are the phone calls and questions. Things can change in a split second; a loose horse, an injured employee, a horse cast in a stall, another smitten with a virus or colic. There is tack to mend, jockeys agents to hail, visiting clients, races to enter, decisions, strategies, sales and claims, traveling, licensing, tattooing, papers. It's a red ticker tape parade.So what drives them on? Why do trainers cling to this whirlwind carousel, missing holidays and vacations and weekends with their families? And what makes them so resilient in the face of so many demands? Plain and simple, it's the horses. It's the intrigue of the competition, the lure of the oval. It's a horse's breath on your face, a soft nicker, the nuzzling for a carrot, and the ripple of muscles on velvet. It's that look of eagles in the eyes of a valiant prospect and the elusive dream of the 'big horse' ridden by "Lady Luck" down the road to the Breeder's Cup, Kentucky Derby, or in the Pacific Northwest, the Longacres Mile. Ultimately, the reward of training Thoroughbreds arrives in that glorious moment inside the winner's circle. It's the satisfaction of working for yourself, being your own boss. It's holding the head of that oh so challenging horse and knowing you've made something from nothing. As a sculptor is about his craft, training racehorses is truly like watching clay transform into an exquisite work of art.-##-

Obama continues his hate politics when he hopes to turn the poor against the rich (which includes the middle class as it turns out). But one factor always insured a prosperous nation was the presence and constant growth of jobs, good paying jobs. That is the missing factor and Obama has nothing to point to that indicates he has done anything to help that. In five yrs. The outsourcing of manufacturing has continued to grow (even faster) under Obama. He says the lie, then the media sells it but who with any sense at all can think that good times are coming without jobs and if there is no manufacturing, nothing be made to sell, there can be no jobs and no prosperity. Obama's economic plan is the same as a crack dealer, give the voter some hate to feel good about so they don't notice their growing misery. Obama has even allowed the US Gov to start buying office supplies, vehicles and equipment from foreign suppliers. No, his words as empty as our wallets.

So then by your "Shammity and Rover" change of the subject, Goosy, I take it Barry Obankrupter DIDN'T have another meeting of his Jobs Council in over a year.
So what's he been doing then? Besides raising money for his big party, spending millions of our tax dollars on his fourth Hawaiian Holiday Golf Extravaganza, planning his big gun grab, hiding records on Benghazi, deleting Lisa Jackson (aka Richard Windsor)'s secret illegal email account, raising taxes on the middle class, and spending another $3 BILLION a day of our children's future on buying Demorat votes?

Since the last JOBS COUNCIL meeting he held was well over a year ago, 22 MILLION STILL-JOBLESS Americans hope maybe Barry's JOBS COUNCIL will get around to meeting again sometime this term. Since he isn't having Federal Budget meetings or Benghazi investigation meetings he should have a little room on his calendar.
Maybe he's been too busy planning his big multi-million-dollar party this recession to hold a JOBS COUNCIL meeting. Or too busy taking his annual multi-million-dollar vacation in Hawaii this recession to hold a JOBS COUNCIL meeting. Or too busy fundraising and campaigning in Hollywood to hold a JOBS COUNCIL meeting. Or too busy taking campaign bribes from crony capitalists to hold a JOBS COUNCIL meeting.
mmm mmm mmm, who needs jobs

@Gooseman. What a stupid question, kinda makes me think of you. Your question, "Did the Teapublicians have a secret meeting? Obuma hasn't had a meeting in how low to try and get the budget balanced. You blame your crap, caused by your stupidity on everyone but the right person which would be Obozo. Too bad your brain doesn't function very well. So we are Teapublicians, better than being you, a Dumbocrap.

Anyone hear if the teapublicans had a "secret" meeting after todays inauguration, like they did in 2008, to plan Americas failure again and greatest Congressional obfuscation ever? Funny how they purposely tried to plan failure, but blamed the President for everything under the sun. Wonder if Mitt was there? Do you think Rush Limbaaaaaa and Glenn Back faxed their orders for a "failure agenda" in or emailed it?
No worries! Obama's got this!

Oh, this is precious. Some nut is actually quoting a Gallup poll on Obama approval ratings? LOLOLOL Give me a break.
"USA TODAY has decided not to renew a polling contract with Gallup that dates back to 1992. We cannot say at this point why USA Today dropped Gallup, but one cannot help but wonder whether Gallup's poor track record has something to do with it.
In case you don't remember, Gallup continuously and incorrectly showed the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, leading during the final month of the 2012 election. Its final poll had Romney leading by a point – five points off the eventual margin of his defeat."
Desperate people quote desperate polls, chuckle, chuckle.

Wahama tops Buffalo 41-13, finishes 10-0 in regular season
MASON - Wahama's starters hadn't played four quarters very often this season because most of their games were one-sided. So there was some question as to what the White Falcons would do if they had to play an entire game.
At least on Friday, that question was answered.
Fullback Zack Wamsley ran for 177 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries and the White Falcons shrugged off a slow start to rack up a 41-13 victory over Buffalo in a matchup of top-10 Class A teams.
The verdict allowed Wahama to post its third consecutive 10-0 regular season and extended its regular-win streak to 31 games. It will ensure the White Falcons of a high seed when the final playoff ratings are determined late tonight.
Halfback Kane Roush ran for a score for the White Falcons and helped break the game open in the second quarter with an 85-yard kickoff return for a TD.
"Big plays on special teams always help change the momentum,'' said Wahama coach Ed Cromley.
The White Falcons, who entered the game No. 3 in the Class A ratings, have played only two games this season decided by fewer than 27 points, meaning their first-stringers haven't had to play more than two or three quarters most nights. That didn't seem to bother them against the Bison (7-3), the state's No. 10 team.
"We might not have the toughest schedule,'' Wamsley said, "but we work very, very hard in practice and we have really good coaches who prepare us in practice for what the opponent is doing. And we fight until the very last quarter.
"We hate to lose down here. Every win means a lot.''
The Bison was almost assured a playoff spot before the game, but now must wait to see how far it will drop in the ratings.
Buffalo was able to move the ball quite well much of the night, finishing with 18 first downs and 337 net yards, but was bogged down by two lost fumbles and 13 penalties for 119 yards.
Quarterback Levi Jordan, a four-year starter, hit on 17 of 22 passes for 196 yards for Buffalo, and completed nine in a row at one point in the second quarter. He ran for one score and flipped a screen pass to Jordan Tucker that went 16 yards for a first-quarter TD.
"They threw screens that were tough for us to cover,'' Cromley said, "and some dump passes. We didn't get our linebackers into the play in the first half, and that's what kept their offense moving.''
Buffalo held the lead twice in the first half, but the White Falcons rallied to go in front 27-13 at the break.
The Bison racked up 13 first downs on its first three possessions of the first half, two resulting in touchdowns. The other drive ended at the Wahama 35 when Tucker fumbled at the end of an 11-yard reception.
Wahama took the lead for good at 14-13 when Roush brought back a kickoff 85 yards for a score and Wamsley tacked on the extra point.
Buffalo picked up a first down on its next drive with a 12-yard pass to Isaiah Robinson to its own 40, but the play was negated by a penalty and the Bison eventually had to punt. The White Falcons took that possession 55 yards for a score, a 4-yard Wamsley run with 1:06 left before halftime.
Disaster struck the Bison on the ensuing kickoff as Gabe Garrison fumbled it away at his own 31, giving Wahama a short field. Trenton Gibbs cashed in the chance when he dropped to pass from the 13, rolled left and scooted into the end zone with 16 seconds remaining to the half.
Buffalo lost two senior starters in the first half. Lineman Jared Smith was ejected late in the first quarter for getting into a scuffle and receiver Garison Erwin left after taking a blow to the head when catching a pass in the second quarter. In the third quarter, lineman Ryan White left following a frightening collision with Wahama running back Crandale Neal.
"We got one of our best players thrown out at the beginning of the game,'' said Buffalo coach Mike Sawyer, "and another one hurt and another one concussed. So we were out three starters. But our kids played hard. This is a good team, and we did the best we could with what we had.''
One area in which the Bison had success was keeping Roush contained on scrimmage plays. He came into the game averaging 19 yards per carry on the season, rushing for 1,155 yards and 15 TDs. On Friday, he ended with 93 yards on 18 carries, with a long of 20 yards and only three carries better than 8 yards.
"He's a pretty good back,'' Sawyer said. "You don't average 20 yards a carry unless you're doing something right, I don't care who you played.''
Gibbs, playing on his birthday, threw for one TD and ran for another for Wahama. The White Falcons finished with 342 yards on 51 rushing plays and 380 yards total.
For Buffalo, Garrison caught four passes for 63 yards and Laythen Good ran 11 times for 48 yards and hauled in seven receptions for 77 yards.
The game was played in something resembling dusk, since four light poles weren't operating on the visitors side, leaving the Buffalo sideline in constant dimness.

CHARLOTTE — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick led the defending NFC champions within one win of a Super Bowl return trip by exacting revenge for the worst loss of his young career.
Kaepernick, 26, threw for one touchdown and ran for another Sunday in sparking a 23-10 division-round ouster of the Carolina Panthers.
The 49ers will meet the archrival Seahawks in Seattle in next Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
BOX SCORE: 49ers 23, Panthers 10
PLAYOFFS: Schedule and results
Kaepernick is now 4-1 in playoff starts and 3-0 on the road in postseason.
Coach Jim Harbaugh's 49ers became the first team since the 1977 Minnesota Vikings to reach the NFC title game the season after losing the Super Bowl. Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young won once on the road combined during their 49ers playoff careers.
San Francisco (14-4) has won eight in a row. The 49ers split their games with the Seahawks this season, but the loss came decisively after a 29-3 defeat in Seattle in Week 2.
Carolina's season ended after coach Ron Rivera's squad rallied from a 1-3 start to reach the playoffs for the first time in five years. But their overall lack of playoff experience caught up to them as they melted down with eight penalties that cost them 73 yards as they attempted to match San Francisco's physical style.
Niners safety Donte Whitner sealed this one with his interception of Cam Newton at the San Francisco 9-yard line with 4:22 left.
Kaepernick finished 15 of 28 for 196 yards and ran for 15 yards. Eleven-year veteran receiver Anquan Boldin came up big with eight catches for 136 yards. Frank Gore rushed 17 times for 84 yards, and Phil Dawson hit three field goals.
Newton hit 16 of 25 passes for 267 yards with a touchdown, a pair of interceptions and was sacked five times as the 49ers dominated the second half.
This one had everything — a pair of goal-line stands by the 49ers' third-ranked scoring defense, big plays and plenty of chippy, post-play pushing, shoving and taunting.
"We owe them," Kaepernick said of the Panthers last week, referencing Carolina's 10-9 win in San Francisco on Nov. 10. Kaepernick completed just 11 passes for 91 yards and was sacked six times in that defeat.
But Kaepernick came on Sunday after a slow start. The third-year signal caller who replaced Alex Smith last season and led the 49ers to the Super Bowl hit tight end Vernon Davis for a 1-yard touchdown that put San Francisco up 13-10 just seconds before halftime. Replay review awarded San Francisco the score after official initially ruled Davis' foot was out of bounds on the catch.
It was the eighth-year tight end's seventh postseason touchdown catch, tying him with Hall of Famer Dave Casper for most at the position in the playoffs.
The play compensated for an otherwise erratic first half by Kaepernick, who hit just 11 of 24 passes for 121 yards and a 75.2 passer rating.
On San Francisco's initial possession of the second half, Kaepernick drove the 49ers 77 yards in eight plays, culminating in his 4-yard scoring run. He did Newton's signature Superman celebration in the end zone as the 49ers pulled ahead 20-10.
Panthers receiver Steve Smith streaked past cornerback Tarell Brown on Newton's perfect, 31-yard scoring strike for 7-6 lead at the start of the second quarter, igniting the Bank of America Stadium crowd. Smith, 34, had been listed as questionable after spraining his left knee Dec. 22 against the New Orleans Saints. But he responded by catching the first four passes Newton threw his way for 74 yards.
The only thing that stopped the Panthers early on seemed to be the San Francisco 1-yard line. On two first-half possessions, the 49ers rose up on goal-line stands and limited Carolina to just three points from inside their own 8.
They stuffed Newton on fourth-and-goal the first time. The second time, "Riverboat" Ron, a nickname the once conservative Rivera earned for his willingness to go for it on fourth down, called on Graham Gano to boot a 19-yard field goal for a 10-6 lead.
But the Panthers never scored again, and the offense essentially disappeared after halftime.

Garner was killed almost instantly. Robert Mitchell II, his friend in the passenger seat, was seriously injured. And Johnson, who was off duty the time, had a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Is there a real life pretty woman scenario going on in the DC area? We started this week's At Large with Carol Joynt with something sort of similar to the Julia Roberts - Richard Gere film.
Joynt told us, "This is how I started my workweek. I noticed this posting. Somebody sent it to me. It was somebody looking for an executive social companion ... to go to parties with him and to bring other social skills."
It's a paid position. "It's starting pay is $15 to $20 an hour," said Joynt.
The man who put up the post goes by the name Drew Frederick. "He lives in Arlington. He's a lawyer and adventurer. I reached out and had him contact me because I thought I had to do a story on this. I checked back with him yesterday. He has had 50 applicants. He's actually offered the job to somebody so I said to him, I said, you know, 'are you inspired by Pretty Woman? Does this involve sex?' There was this long pause. He said 'no, it doesn't involve sex but I guess people would think that.' ...He has a girlfriend."
In other news, Carol Burnett is getting the Mark Twain Award at the Kennedy Center this fall. "She definitely qualifies. I had to write down her quotes because I love them so much.... she says it's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington."
The new issue of Washingtonian magazine 'Bikes and Hikes' is out now on news stands. At the very top you'll see the ultimate guide to local beer. It takes a look at the lowest alcohol content and highest. "Two pages after that is fried chicken," added Joynt.

Didn't the lottery commission come after (chronologically) the horse and greyhound industries? Didn't the casinos sell much of the idea to the voters as an aid to support the "vital" industry of thoroughbreds and greyhounds due to not only the jobs, but the infrastructure that it affects? Why not an article about the track getting approved by the Commission to use automated casino machines thus getting rid of more jobs. Those same jobs that they used to get voters to approve the casino in the first place and those same jobs you talked about all leg. session to get the casino's 2.5 mil gone? Tough for you to be impartial with your association to the casino with them advertising in your paper and other's owned by your boss. Wonder why the media's reputation with the public is so low.

Perry, OH (WKYC) -- A Facebook page has uploaded more than 600 photos, most of them of Perry High School girls.
"We want to identify and locate this individual,"says Perry Police Chief Michael Shank. "We want to question him. We want to know why he did what he did. Is he a risk to our kids' safety?"
Shank has taken more than 100 calls from anxious parents and residents of the village, and has assigned two detectives full-time to finding the real identity of Kole William, and what his intentions may be in displaying the pictures of the Perry High School girls.
"It is probably not illegal," the chief told WKYC, "but it's suspicious enough that we have to find out what his motives are. Today, you always have to been concerned."
Shank, who has increased security at the Perry schools and at extra-curricular activites, says the person behind the page may be the same one who actually confronted a recent Perry graduate at her new place of work a few years ago.
"He came there with a gift and told her he was the person that had been trying to contact her through Facebook," Shank said.
The chief also said a person who may be the same man was recently seen videotaping former Perry cheerleaders at the local college they now attend.
"Understandably, there's some uneasiness and some anxiety," Perry Local Schools Superintendent Dr. Jack Thompson said, of the mood of students at the high school.
"But they know we're here to support them," he added, "and our safety forces are doing a great job."
Thompson said the Perry curriculum emphasizes the responsible and safe use of social media.
"We hope our students are making the right decisions," he said. The district recently added the services of a national firm to advise them in the area of social media.
One of the teachers involved in instructing Perry students in that area is Coleen Moskowitz, who also has daughters in the district.
"It is kind of creepy," she admitted, and was concerned when one of her daughters' photos appeared on the Facebook page.
"I try to teach the students in my class and my own daughters how important it is to keep your privacy settings turned on, because you never know who's out there accessing your information," Moskowitz explained.

Loïck Peyron
Nespresso Cup Race Ambassador
Round the world sailor and America's Cup finalist Loïck Peyron is undoubtedly the most emblematic skipper of the "French School" when it comes to offshore racing, but his humbling track record does not suffice to define this peerless character. Gifted with an amazing sixth sense at sea, Peyron is also a fantastic communicator and a great technician, having been one of the most important driving forces behind the evolution of modern multihulls. This unrivaled expertise naturally made him a much sought-after "asset" for the 33rd America's Cup, and it was not a surprise to see him helming Alinghi's giant multihull in the 33rd America's Cup final.
His CV displays five ORMA champion titles, four victories on the Round Europe Race – but most importantly three wins on the "English Transat" (solo across the Atlantic from the UK to the US), an incredible feat allowing Loïck to better the legendary Tabarly's score. Peyron has also clocked up an impressive amount of monohull miles, crossing the Atlantic solo for the first time at the age of 18 during the Mini Transat, and completing a the first ever Vendée Globe, during which he performed a daring rescue of Philippe Poupon.
At ease whatever the type of boat, he is an intuitive sailor, whose ability to sail in harmony with his machine and the elements has always impressed his rivals and teammates alike.
As for the Nespresso Cup: "I always thought the Wally boats were really elegant and very interesting," said Peyron. "I never sailed on them and I will really enjoy to be in Portofino for the Nespresso Cup. I think we are going to have a nice 'casting' of sailors with skippers and crew coming from different areas and culture like the America's Cup, the Olympics or offshore. I also look forward to sharing some passion with the owners and crews because they all love these nice machines - we are going to spend a few fascinating days together."

But wait. A defesenman?

Boychuk, McQuaid
Bartkowski, Krug
In order for Miller to be a regular, two defensemen have to go. Be it to Providence or the Western Conference, Chiarelli isn't keeping him on the NHL roster to be nice. I've been looking at the list for a few minutes. Who would you move?
I'd send Seidenberg (old, contract) first and then probably Krug (because I don't like him).

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Washington Animal Rescue League has named its new pet of the week.
Key West is a 3-month-old puppy who arrived at the Washington Animal Rescue League from West Virginia with several brindled brothers. We can't be certain of their breed, but they look like terrier/Chihuahua mixes. The playful pups gained a loyal following during their tenure as Animal Planet's "Too Cute" puppy cam pups, entertaining viewers around the world with their antics.
Like his littermates, Key West has recently relinquished the spotlight in favor of finding a forever home. Could that be yours?
