Algorithms and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of information retrieval approaches, taking into account the user's browsing behaviour.
Project overview
Traditional IR evaluation is based on implicit assumptions about the user's interaction with the search system: It is assumed that the user is presented with a ranked list of results and examines the returned documents one after the other in the order they are listed. However, such a model is obsolete in the case of the Web and structured document retrieval, where browsing is an integral part of the user's search strategy.
The goal of this project is to better understand users' post-query browsing behaviour, and to develop appropriate evaluation measures that incorporate richer models of user interaction, taking into account browsing.
Our approach to capture retrieval effectiveness for query and navigation based search is to introduce a measure of retrieval effectiveness that comprises a probabilistic model of the users' post-query navigation. Building on this, our measure of effort-precision and gain-recall (ep/gr) allows to explicitly model both the benefits and costs of discovering additional relevant information while browsing from a result in the ranked list. Our measure of Structural Relevance (SR) builds on a model of tree retrieval and a Markovian model of user navigation which eliminates the need for the computation of an ideal ranking.
- Our paper on SR, presented at CIKM 2008, won Best paper runner up prize.

Andy Murray + Kim Sears have ended their 4-year relationship.
When asked about the split Leonore Sears, mom to the tennis WAG, confirmed the news saying, "Yes, but I am not going to comment on it."
She reportedly moved out of the home they shared in Surrey and returned to her parent's home. Kim was not in Muzz' baller box in London where he was knocked out of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in the round robin portion of the tourney.
Ah, so sad. It'll be strange not seeing her cheering Muzz on in the stands - she was always a presence at his matches. I wonder what caused the breakup? Maybe, like a lot of relationships, it just ran its course.
UPDATE: Has Muzz moved on already? Rumor or reality - you decide. Thanks Djangoo!

Baltimore County News
Sheldon Epstein
Chairman, Baltimore County Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee
Now that spring has finally sprung, it's time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. What better way to enjoy the fresh air than to put on your walking shoes or dust off your bike and take a ride.
Baltimore County began the process of transforming itself into a more walkable and bike-friendly community by developing pedestrian and bicycle improvement plans. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee (PBAC), working with the County Department of Planning, recommended areas where sidewalks, bike lanes and other types of improvements could be made. The PBAC is composed of enthusiasts representing each council district, the county administration, and Bike Maryland, a local advocacy group.
So far, the County has received State funding through the Maryland Bikeways program to stripe bicycle lanes and install bike route signs in Catonsville, Arbutus/Halethorpe, and Towson. If more State funding becomes available this year, even more improvements can be made throughout the County.
Here's where you can help. We are looking for projects that would be low cost, connect to major destinations, and have the support of the local community. The PBAC committee's first public input meeting will be held April 16, 5:00 p.m., at the Jefferson Building, Room 104, 105 West Chesapeake Avenue, Towson 21204. If you have a great idea but can't make the meeting, send in a written suggestion to the PBAC, c/o Department of Planning, 105 West Chesapeake Avenue, Towson 21204, or email Kathy Schlabach at email@example.com.
Successes from Catonsville, Arbutus/Halethorpe, and Towson will help us become eligible for additional grant funds to develop plans in other parts of the County.
While you are dusting off that bicycle, keep in mind that Bike to Work Day will be coming up May 17. Details about the early morning rallies in Catonsville, Towson and White Marsh will be coming out soon.
But let us hear from you on April 16. Together we can make Baltimore County a better place to be outside, year-round. Now let's get walking and biking for our enjoyment, health, and as a greener way to get places.
Revised April 6, 2016

The Project
The Project for Transforming Urban Transport - The Role of Political Leadership is a research project hosted at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design and funded by the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations.
Networked transport systems that produce low carbon mobility patterns and integrated land uses are key to the production of environmentally sustainable cities. The challenge is how to achieve these aims. It is one thing to know the positive impacts of sustainable transport systems and the technologies that produce them, and quite another to understand the political negotiations and governance strategies that make such outcomes possible. This ongoing research initiative, Transforming Urban Transport (TUT) – The Role of Political Leadership, examines the spatial, political, and economic enablers and constraints on building sustainable urbanism. With a focus on transportation innovations, and with a view to the actions of citizens, state authorities, and private sector actors, our expanding research team is exploring the conditions, conflicts, and coalitions that have made cities around the world global leaders in transforming urban transport and advancing sustainability.

Donor Profile: Andrew and Gina Dakin
AMES, Iowa - Andrew Dakin graduated from Iowa State in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in computer engineering. He currently is the founder and owner of Cylosoft, a web design company that started business in 2004. He grew up in nearby Boone and now resides in Ames with his wife Gina, a graphic designer for Cylosoft. We sat down with Andrew to hear some of his experiences as a Cyclone fan.
Q: Why did you join the Cyclone Club?
A: "It sounded like a good idea at the time since I had always planned on donating back to the University. We just recently moved up to the Directors Club level. We started to donate right after I graduated from Iowa State. Now I run the Cyclone Gridiron Club website and also the Cyclone men's basketball website. It is a volunteer thing, but I do it to help out both programs in a big way. It's a lot of fun meeting both the coaches and working with (Iowa State assistant) coach (Ron) Smith for the basketball camps. My wife helps out by doing the basketball camp brochures as well."
Q: When did you attend your first Cyclone event?
A: "It would have been my freshman year of college around 1996 at a football game. Back then it was the Troy Davis show and we were not very good. I was actually an Iowa fan growing up, even though the rest of my family rooted for the Cyclones. From that day on I was a Cyclone and will always be one."
"My wife and I currently have football and men's and women's basketball season tickets. I have yet to miss a football game in eight years. For men's basketball I have missed only one game in the past five years. We just decided to add on women's basketball games, so it has been hard to make it home when there are so many games during the week. Just this past year we bought courtside seats for women's games and that has been fun to experience."
Q: What was one of your most memorable games that you attended?
A: "That Colorado football game when the tornado warning came through Ames in 2005 was a game I will never forget. The state troopers came over to us while we were tailgating and told us that we were not in a good spot. They made us just lay on the ground because we were too far away from Hilton. That was an interesting experience, but the game made up for all the bad weather."
"I really didn't get into basketball until later on. The Virginia game in 2004 when we beat them on ESPN was the loudest I have ever heard Hilton Coliseum. I remember their coach saying when he left that he did not want to come back because the crowd was so amazing."
Q: What was your favorite Cyclone road trip?
A: "I do remember when we won at Iowa in 1998, beating the Hawks for the first time (since 1983). When the team came back on the bus it was all smiles and celebration."
"One road game I remember well was the Texas basketball game in 2005 when we beat them in Austin. (This fall) I plan on going to Las Vegas for the football game against UNLV. That city will be a lot of fun for the weekend."
Q: Who were some of your favorite coaches and players throughout the years?
A: "Former (Iowa State) football coach Dan McCarney is definitely high on my list. I feel like Bill Fennelly has always overachieved since he has been here. Larry Eustachy was another coach who was always upbeat in basketball games. He really got the crowd excited."
"As far as players go I would have to say Ellis Hobbs. I still follow him in the NFL and he has always been one of my favorite players to watch. I've actually bought a lot of his merchandise and apparel on ebay. (Basketball player) Rahshon Clark was a freshman right when I was getting into basketball. It was really neat to watch him for four years and see him progress into the type of player he became."
"You can't forget (Iowa State football quarterback) Seneca Wallace. I did help out as a ball boy for the home games one year when one of my friends was in charge. One time when I was on the sideline and the team had crowded up to the line, Seneca rolled out so fast and came over and took me out. He smashed me right into the sideline. It didn't hurt so much, but taught me to watch out for how quick Seneca really was."

LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) - Virginia Military Institute's Board of Visitors has approved across-the-board tuition increases.
In-state students at the Lexington school will pay 2.9 percent more for tuition, while out-of-state students will see a 4.5 percent increase.
Media outlets report the board approved the changes Saturday.
VMI spokesman Stewart MacInnis says combined costs for tuition, fees and room and board will increase 4.3 percent to about $22,500 per year for in-state cadets. Out-of-state students will see their costs increase 4.5 percent to about $28,000.
MacInnis says the increases reflect rising program costs.

Hunting season opens next weekend, but there's some new regulations to watch out for if you're elk hunting in Southwest Montana.
FWP spokesperson Andrea Jones told us they've tightened some of the protocol in Hunting Districts 360 and 362- the Upper and Lower Madison areas west of
Bozeman- and Districts 313 and 314 in the southern Paradise Valley and Gardiner areas.
For example, hunters can only harvest one elk in HD 360- no matter how many licenses they have. There previously wasn't a limit.
And in both areas, hunters can no longer harvest either cow or bull elk. A general license only covers a brow-tined bull.
For antlerless elk, hunters must have applied for and drawn an Elk B license.
Also in both areas, they must now report all harvests within 72 hours.
HD 313 around Gardiner is no longer open to general hunting licenses. Hunters must have drawn a specific permit to hunt in that area.
And in 314, instead of hunting both sexes, general licenses only cover brow-tined bull. Again, hunters need that Elk B license for antlerless elk.
At Bob Wards on Friday, hunters were busy getting ready for the season. We talked to a few to see if the new rules change their game plan.
"It is a nice option to have that- to be able to take a cow if you're out there hunting for bulls you're not coming across anything" said Bob Wards worker Griffin Woodal.
He hunts elk in those areas, and said he likes having the option of hunting cow elk.
He didn't get the special permit, so he won't be able to this year.
"It just kind of sucks when you have to see it change in one of the areas that you hunt a lot" Woodal said.
Though he said it's a disappointment, Woodal said it won't keep him out of the woods. He already has plans in place to go hunting next weekend.
Andrea Jones from FWP told us they made the regulation changes to better manage elk populations in those areas, because she said they've seen a significant decrease in numbers.
She also said those areas are popular hunting spots that previously had little regulation.
Before they finalized the new rules, Jones said they went through a process of drafting the regulations and accepting public comment earlier this year.
Hunters who wanted Elk B licenses or the permit to hunt in HD 313 applied to do so by last June. From there, they drew names to choose who got the special permits and licenses.
General elk and deer season opens October 20th, and runs through November 25th.

We recently updated our zimbra server to 7.2.0 and also the BES connector to 7.2.0
I installed the new BES connector and wanted to recreate the mail profiles (BlackBerryAgent and BlackBerryAgent_MailStoreProfiles) but the profiles could not be added.
The required ports 443&7071 are opened and the mailmode is set to BOTH.
I can see on the zimbra server that the BES server is comminiacting with the server when trying to add the profiles
Any ideas on this?
thank you!

|Dragon football squad routed by the Yuma Indians
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
After starting the season with a 4-0 record, the Dragon football team has hit a two-game skid, falling to Yuma on a cold, windy road game 20-28 Friday, Oct. 4.
"We played very well except for a couple of turnovers and allowing a few big plays," coach John Zilla said of the game.
Offensive lineman Ryan Krogmeier blocks for quarterback
Things got off to a bumpy start for HHS as a fumble on the fourth play from scrimmage handed the ball over to the Indians on Holyoke's 38-yard line. It took just one play for Yuma to dart into the end zone after a wide receiver motioned across the offense, taking a handoff for the 38-yard score. A completed pass tacked on two more points for the Indians who went up 8-0 with less than two minutes played in the game.
Holyoke made better use of their ensuing possession, using a combination of their smash mouth style of football and Yuma's tendency to jump offsides to march down the field. Bradley Cumming capped off the drive with a 30-yard rushing touchdown. He made his way back to the end zone for the 2-point conversion to tie the game up at 8 apiece with just over seven minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Time To Find Your God?By Rabbi Richard Address –
Eric Weiner, a former National Public Radio reporter, has just published a fascinating book entitled "Man Seeks God." I mention it to you because it raises some interesting questions about our relationship (or lack thereof) with God. Questions posed by young and old alike.
The genesis of his book was a discussion Weiner had with a health care professional in a hospital. He was there thinking he was extremely ill. This health care worker, thinking the tests were going to be bad news, asked Weiner, "Have found your God yet?"
That simple question set Mr. Weiner off on a whirlwind exploration of various religions. Eric was trying to understand what each religion's God was, and if he could adopt it for himself.
The book is quite relevant to many of us who are, in some ways, dissatisfied with the God that we were raised with. So many people are searching for some sort of meaningful faith that Weiner's journey, in many ways, symbolizes the journey for many of us. We may not have the means to travel the world and spend weeks in various communities; but we are searching. That is the point, I think, of the book. I like the phrase, "have you found your God?" Our generation of baby boomers has pioneered the ability to create personal religious responses and, in many ways, hybrid definitions of God. This spiritual dynamism marks a clear reality across the religious landscape. It represents some real creativity on the one hand, and sadly, for some, a way to just do "religion lite."
The search for our own God is a serious undertaking. It asks us to confront our own sense of self, our relationship with life and death and our own view of what we see as our legacy. In the New Year now beginning, I suggest that it is a perfect time to consider undertaking your own search. Looking for your God, unencumbered by "oughts" and "shoulds" may be a liberating and energizing experience. An experience you can start today and not left until you are older.
Rabbi Richard F Address, D.Min

I downloaded Sengoku awhile back, and I'd have to say it is a very historically accurate version of a Japanese historical based RPG. Sengoku is of course, the Time of War. Prior to the Shogunate when this generalismo provided an iron handed central rule of Japan there was century of constant war between various noble houses, clans, and struggles to place different emperors on the throne.
Unfortunately, my players are fantasy based gamers - they like magic and monsters, more than historical gameplay. So I never could find a group to play Sengoku.
As far as fantasy based Japanese-esque RPGs go, Legend of the Five Rings is popular, though I hate the map, or at least the concept of a land-locked (more like China) Japanese empire. Much of Japan's unique history and culture is derived from the fact that Japan is an island nation. Separated from outside influences by at least the Sea of Japan.
On the same hand, I've never cared for Oriental Adventures, especially since WotC licensed the L5R Rokugan world map - eck!
As an aside, parsing out the name Rokugan (roku is Japanese for the number six.) What does six or Roku have to do with five rings?? "Go" is number five in Japanese, not that they should call it "Gogan", but steer away from vocabular usage to suggest the number six has anything to do with anything.
I agree, though if you want to play an historical Japanese setting, Sengoku is probably the most accurate available. Although the game mechanics rules in Sengoku allow for the katana fights against large odds, like you'd find in Japanese adventure movies - so there's a bit of fantasy element in the game play as well.

Tech at Night: Barack Obama admits the truth about Net Neutrality. Roy Blunt joins with Democrat Blame The Victim Hysteria.
Barack Obama admitted what we've been saying all along: Net Neutrality was an attempt to regulate the Internet. Told you so.
More FCC: Data use continues to go up, and it probably makes sense to remove barriers to investment on expanding our wireless capacity in this country. We still need spectrum, but the build out matters after that spectrum is acquired, as well.
Of course, instead of being sensible the radicals just want to spend more money stupidly.
All this is perfectly good reason to want to gut the FCC by reforming the Communications Act, but again, I just don't trust the current legislative process to succeed at this in one big bill. When was the last time we had one big bill that worked well? Not in many years. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm not optimistic.Read More »

Recently upgraded to 8.0.0 from 7.1 and I'm having some shared calendar issues. OS is Ubuntu 10.04.
I was able to get ical on the Mac Mountain Lion to allow me to add and edit events on a shared calendar. I got this to work by checking the option in the ZWC for, "Enable delegation for Apple iCal CardDav client" and then going to the Delegation tab in the iCal Preferences and checking the show checkbox. However, the calendar won't show up on the iPhone unless I uncheck the "Enable delegation for Apple..." checkbox. Even after unchecking that checkbox, and when I can see the shared calendar on the iPhone, I cannot add or edit events on the iPhone.
What settings do I need to configure so that I can add and edit shared calendar events for both the iphone and ical? Is this a Zimbra issue?
The shared calendar works fine on a android device using CalDav Sync app.

Engage all care providers
Public-Private Mix (PPM) for TB Care and Control
PPM news
Working Meeting: Public Private Mix (PPM) Models for the Sustainability of Successful TB Control Initiatives
In May 2014, a three-day working meeting was co-convened by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the World Bank, in collaboration with the Stop TB Partnership's subgroup on PPM.
The meeting brought together TB, health financing and public-private partnership experts to identify the essential elements for the sustainability, growth and future relevance of PPM efforts. The goal was to improve the sustainability of private sector engagement in TB control by bringing together innovations in service delivery models and financing.
The importance of engaging all care providers
In most resource-poor countries with a high TB-burden, patients with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis (TB) seek care from a wide array of health-care providers. These care providers, often not linked to public sector-based national tuberculosis programmes (NTPs), may serve a large proportion of TB suspects. The size, types and roles of these care providers vary greatly within and across countries. In some settings there is a large private commercial sector and numerous non governmental organizations (NGOs) while in others there are public sector providers (such as general and specialized hospitals) that operate outside the scope of NTPs. Evidence suggests that failure to involve all care providers used by TB suspects and patients hampers case detection, delays diagnosis, leads to inappropriate and incomplete treatment, contributes to increasing drug resistance and places an unnecessary financial burden on patients.
Engaging all relevant health care providers in TB care and control through public-private mix approaches is an essential component of the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Stop TB Strategy. Public-Private Mix (PPM) for TB Care and Control represents a comprehensive approach for systematic involvement of all relevant health care providers in TB control to promote the use of International Standards for TB Care and achieve national and global TB control targets. PPM encompasses diverse collaborative strategies such as public-private (between NTP and the private sector), public-public (between NTP and other public sector care providers such as general hospitals, prison or military health services and social security organizations), and private-private (between an NGO or a private hospital and the neighborhood private providers) collaboration. PPM also implies engaging relevant care providers in prevention and management of MDR-TB and in the implementation of TB/HIV collaborative activities.
Currently, nearly all high TB-burden countries are implementing PPM activities. Reports from countries and several project evaluations have shown that PPM could help increase case detection (between 10% and 60%), improve treatment outcomes (over 85%), reach the poor and save costs.

Can I Change my Garage Blueprints?
I spent quite a bit of time searching online for the right garage plan. I found one that I really like in an architectural style that matches my house. My lot accommodates the width perfectly, but I'd like it to be a bit deeper to accommodate my boat and give me room to add a bath. (I spend most of my time outside doing dirty jobs, like yard work, gardening and working on my favorite old car. The last thing I want to do is walk into my new home with dirty hands and feet when it isn't necessary.) After checking with my builder, I learned that desired modifications are fairly easy to make, but he informed me the city building department will not issue building permits if the changes are not drawn on my garage blueprints. I verified this with the building department, and yes indeed, I will have to make modifications to floor plans before I submit them to the city for approval.
I didn't really know what my next step would be, so I contacted The Garage Plan Shop for advice. I was happy to discover I have a couple of choices regarding the modifications I want to make, and either choice seems fairly easy to work with. The customer service representative to me I can submit a modification request form detailing my changes to their customizing department to receive a free quote for the modifications. If I am happy with the quote and the estimated time frame works with my schedule, they will handle everything. A designer will even send me a sketch of my desired changes for my approval before the plans are modified. My second option is to purchase a reproducible master or CAD file of the garage plan and work with a local residential designer, an architect or my builder (if he is qualified) to make the changes to the plans. Either way, making changes to the design I have selected will be simple and easy.
I am happy to know that I will be able to change my blueprints to suit my needs hassle free.

2 found dead in Rainbow Lakes shooting
Published: Sunday, December 29, 2013 at 10:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 30, 2013 at 1:15 p.m.
A bright winter sun bore down Monday on the trim yellow home in which two people were found dead Sunday.
Photo Galleries
The Marion County Sheriff's Office was continuing its investigation Monday, with a team of detectives and forensics experts examining the scene at 24113 NW Water Oak Ave., in the Rainbow Lakes area near Dunnellon.
Sheriff's Office officials said late Sunday that Latalia Robinson, 32, was found dead along with her estranged husband, Dean Hamilton, 33, in a case of "apparent domestic violence."
According to the Sheriff's Office, a family friend became concerned when he failed to hear from the residents and checked on the house. Both Robinson and Hamilton were found dead inside the home from an "apparent gunshot wound."
According to the Sheriff's Office, Robinson was a worker at West Port High School and Hamilton was an employee at Cheney Brothers. Robinson's Facebook page lists her as a biology instructor at West Port.
On Monday, a neighbor about a mile away from the home, who did not wish to be identified, said she had only talked to the residents when they moved in about seven years ago.
The neat home is surrounded by woods. A basketball hoop stands in the grass at the side of the two-lane paved road in front of the home.
On Monday, the MCSO Special Investigative Bureau team was seen marking evidence outside, such as a Honda parked in the driveway, which eventually was towed away for further processing, as well as a copy of the Sunday Ocala Star-Banner, which was lying in the driveway in a clear plastic bag.
According to a Sheriff's Office spokesman, Maj. Tommy Bibb, head of the bureau, said there would be "no further information about the investigation at this time."

Lock 17 was the only difficult lock we had. Due to the way the water enters this lock, they want all boats to be on one side of the lock, which for boats heading in our direction, would be on the port side. Issuma has reels of rope attached to the lifelines on the port side that prevent coming alongside a wall on the port side.
We talked with the lockmaster, and he was definite about what side we needed to tie up on (and there is a sign to that effect on the lock before it), but said we could back in if we needed to. Backing in would have been relatively easy, except for the corner in the river just before the lock (not seen in the picture), where the water goes around a bridge support. There is a sudden change in the current at this point, which I was unable to get around in reverse.
So we used ropes to shore and, by a combination of pushing and slowly motoring in reverse, backed up to the lock, then we got aboard and reversed into the lock. It took about an hour in total to enter the lock (an advantage in being the only boat heading north this time of year is that you're not delaying anything if you're slow :) ).

Issuma being a boat, there is, of course, always work to be done. Here, Christina and I are working on getting some of the old rigging wires off.
One of the reasons for taking this route thru the canals was that bringing the masts down was an opportunity to replace a lot of the rigging wires in what seemed an easier way than doing it all by climbing aloft.
How is the 'Sigmar' diesel heater working out? I notice the chimney pipe on the deck.

The purpose of the guard gate is to prevent large amounts of water from being released if there is a break in the canal wall in a long section between locks. The gates are normally up, so boats can pass through.

"These Kids Are Our Program's Future"
MASON CITY, Iowa – Iowa State coaches have seen both ends of the spectrum. Recruiting takes college coaches into all kinds of situations. Iowa State football coach Gene Chizik broke the ice with an audience of young people at the Francis Lauer Youth Services Wednesday, stressing everyone in the gym had someone who cared for them no matter what their circumstances. The stop preceded the Mason City stop on the 2008 ISU Tailgate Tour in the All Seasons Building on the North Iowa Fairgrounds.
Francis Lauer Youth Services has been a part of North Iowa communities for more than 35 years. The facility possesses the expertise and knowledge to assist children, families and individuals with a variety of needs. The center provides individual counseling, emergency shelter for children, group foster care in a safe, supportive and structured environment.
Chizik, athletics director Jamie Pollard and the rest of the traveling party of coaches and staff engaged in a 45-minute question and answer session. The ISU football coach stressed that life is full of challenges.
"Everbody here, our coaches and all of you have faced major challenges," Chizik said. "I see it everyday with our players and coaches. The most important thing is to not let those challenges get you down and let the people who care about you, help you. Everybody has issues and challenges in their lives."
Sandy Redeker has worked 22 years at Francis Lauer Youth Services and directs its shelter services. The value of Iowa State's visit was not lost on her.
"The kids prepared for this, with cheers and T-shirts," Redeker said. "Our kids really enjoyed it."
The Tailgate Tour stop drew hundreds of Iowa State fans who had the opportunity seek autographs from Cyclone football players and heard from Chizik, Pollard, Iowa State women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly and men's head basketball coach Greg McDermott.
Pollard drew loud applause when he directed the crowd's attention to the Hy-Vee Trophy won by Iowa State's student-athletes in a huge margin against Iowa's athletics teams.
Pollard then noted that nearly every Cyclone fan considers themselves extremely important to the Iowa State athletics program.
"But the most important people in this program are all of the kids here tonight," Pollard said after inviting the children up to the podium. "They are the future of our programs."
The Tailgate Tour was in part designed to allow children to be welcome at the event and play on the inflatable games supervised by Iowa State student-athletes. It has succeeded famously.
The Tailgate Tour continues Thursday in Minneapolis, Minn.

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Patrick Marleau scored twice and added an
assist as the San Jose Sharks stayed perfect with a 4-0 win over the Colorado
The Sharks have won all four of their games thus far and have gotten two goals
from Marleau in each of those games. San Jose is off to its best start since
going 4-0 to open the 2008-09 season.
Joe Thornton posted a goal and an assist, while Thomas Greiss made 24 saves
for his first career shutout for San Jose, which has won two on the road and
the last two at home.
Semyon Varlamov was tagged for all four goals on 26 shots for the Avalanche,
who had won their past two coming into the game. Jean-Sebastien Giguere played
the third period between the pipes and stopped all 17 shots he faced.
The game stayed scoreless until San Jose benefited from a pair of power-play
Ryan O'Byrne was handed two minors for instigating and wearing a face shield
during a fight with Brad Stuart and the San Jose power play scored just 29
seconds into the first minor. Joe Pavelski threw a shot on net from the slot
that was stopped, but Marleau was at the left side to backhand home the
rebound at the 16:09 mark of the first.
Still on the power play, the Sharks took a 2-0 lead. Dan Boyle sent a hard
pass from the top of the right circle over to his left for Thornton, who then
threw it down to the low right side where Marleau had an easy tap-in with 2:33
to play in the first.
The Sharks continued to use the power play to their advantage in the second
period as Thornton got his second of the season during a scrum in front just
2:32 into the frame.
At the 17:05 mark of the middle session, Matthew Irwin scored the first goal
of his career with a blistering slap shot from the left point that beat
Varlamov to the short side.
Greiss stopped 11 shots in the third period to finish off the shutout.
Game Notes
Marleau is five goals away from 400 for his career ... San Jose has taken
three of four games from Colorado in each of the past two seasons ... San
Jose, which went 3-for-6 on the man advantage, has scored 10 times on 24
power play chances this season ... Colorado was 0-for-2 on the power play.

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons have advanced to the NFC Championship and will be hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, January 20, at the Georgia Dome.
Tickets for Sunday's matchup are in high demand and have sold out online at www.atlantafalcons.com, although suite options are still available.
Purchasing tickets online
With tickets in high demand, sports fans should be on the lookout for a rise in fraudulent tickets when turning to other online retailers like eBay, Craigslist or StubHub.
The Falcons issued the following guidelines regarding online counterfeit ticket sales last week:
The NFL Ticket Exchange is the only resale marketplace endorsed by the NFL, providing fans with the opportunity to purchase seats listed by Falcons season ticket holders or other fans.
When buying from an individual or through other online exchanges, do not be lured away from the website by the seller.
Fans choosing to buy tickets through an online auction are advised to choose a seller with a long and continuous history of satisfied customers.
Fans should never pay with a cashier's check or wire money to the seller, as there may be no way to get money back if the tickets are not received. Fans are advised to pay with a credit card or through PayPal, which offer some amount of protection and potential reimbursement.
Many sellers will include pictures of the tickets with their posts on auction sites or message boards. Fans should scrutinize these tickets closely for any inaccuracies or alterations, and cross-check the seat assignment with the map on the Georgia Dome's website.
Purchasing tickets in person
While it is unlawful to resell or offer resell tickets for any price within 2,700 feet of the Georgia Dome, scalpers will attempt to sell tickets on game day to unsuspecting fans.
To thwart the attempts of scam artists to sell fraudulent tickets, the Falcons have designed tickets to include visible security devices. The devices include a foil stamped playoff logo, thermo chromic ink, and a high-gloss varnish.
Carefully scrutinize each ticket before you hand over any amount of money. If the tickets are missing one or all of the special security devices or appear dull in appearance, it would be wise to search elsewhere for tickets.

Top quality and a low weight.
Cycling manufacturers' perpetual weight race is well documented. From frames to every imaginable component, engineers and designers strive to chip away grams without disturbing the delicate balance with structural integrity. Luckily, there are industry standards like the CPSC, which the Bell Gage Helmet easily passes, to keep products honest.
There's a multitude of helmet safety guidelines, but when it comes to bicycle use, the Consumer Product Safety Commission's high, cycling-specific standards has become the benchmark. And it's truly remarkable that today's helmets can pass those regulations, while still offering the ventilation, fit, and low weight that they do. Bell's secret to achieving this is its Fusion In-Mold Microshell.
The Microshell is bonded to an EPS foam liner during manufacturing in order to create a stronger overall structure. Internal reinforcements allow Bell's designers to push the envelope of ventilation with numerous large intake and exhaust ports. Additionally, it also allows solid anchoring points for the two-way adjustable TAG fit system.
The TAG Fit System means that riders can adjust the helmet around the occipital lobe (that bump at the back of your head) both in width and height for a conforming fit. Cam-lock levers make for quick strap adjustment, so that you can dial in the Gage when riding without hassle and forget that you have it on. Another key feature of the Gage is Bell's X-Static padding. It combines a quick-dry material with an anti-microbial coating in order to eliminate odor.
The Bell Gage Helmet is available in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large and in the colors Black/red/white stripes, Matte BMC Limited Edition Team, Matte Black Swerve, Matte Black/orange/blue swerve, Matte Titanium Stripes, and White Stripes.
- In-Mold Microshell with multiple vents for comfort and safety
- TAG Fit System dials the helmet to your head
- X-Static padding dries quickly and inhibits bacterial growth

Bell Gage Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
In April of 2016 I suffered a road bicycle accident while traveling downhill. My bike, 2015 Specialized Tarmac Pro, survived the accident without a scratch. I, on the other hand, suffered 8 fractured ribs and a fractured scapula. In the opinion of the paramedics and doctors my head was saved by my helmet: Bell Gage BMC. I just want to thank Bell for making an outstanding product.
Great fit, great looks, great price!
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
This is my second Bell helmet; both are Medium in size and fit well. The Gage rides lower on my head leaving less space between the top of my head and the helmet, but feels very comfortable. It is light enough to forget that it is there. Love the White/Black /Red Split.
Bell Helmet with Giro Parts?
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Could someone tell me how a new Bell Helmet ends up with a Giro part? Got my helmet today, see the picture for yourself. Very disappointed with the quality of product provided by BackCountry.
They are the same company.
Sleek and barely there
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fits very close to my (very large) head, but in a good way. The matte black color is slick, and between the airflow and the insanely light weight, it's like wearing nothing at all, except that it keeps your hair out of your eyes We'll see how it performs into the summer but I can't imagine a better helmet.
OK but runs big with minimal padding
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bell helmets are good looking but they run a bit on the large side and the lack of padding makes them feel even larger (not great for folks with short hair or baldies) I returned the large because it was humongous Medium is better but roomy. Straps are not the easiest to adjust but I think that is universal with all the manufacturers.
Bell makes good stuff
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
A good looking helmet. I ordered a medium. It still felt too big. I love the dial in the back. Had to return due to size but still bought a Bell.
Out for a spin
Great helmet. Its super light, adjusts easily, and fits comfortably. Also, the chin strap is made from a soft material, which I've noticed is not the norm with helmets... my chin and neck thank you Bell!
Awesome picture Ali !!!
I selected this image to feature on the homepage in our Activity Feed! Congrats on being GOATWORTHY !!!
Great !!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Excellent helmet. Extremely light... VERY lightweight :) I got the discontinued color (Matte Black/Orange/Blue Swerve) at a closeout price, but even if I paid full price, I would still be very happy with the helmet. Bell quality all the way. Thanks Bell and Thanks Backcountry and CC.
Hi! Matte Black/Orange/Blue Swerve...
Matte Black/Orange/Blue Swerve Small still available?
Thank You,
Reynaldo Uy
Fantastic Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Everything you want in you summer racing helmet is right here. Light, Venty, Comfortable, did I say light? The old standbye really applies here; "You barely know you are wearing it."
Amazingly light and comfortable!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The fit of this helmet is outstanding! I've tried on dozens of helmets and this one fits like a glove. It doesn't sit high or wide on my head and the venting keeps my head cool on a hard ride. It's like built in a/c. If you've owned a bell helmet in the past and liked the fit, you should love the Gage!
Isn't comfortable if...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
You have a sleestack ridge on top of yer head. I have Dinosaur dna or something and I got a bit of a ridge running down the centerline of my calabasa. I put the helmet on and it kinda teetered on my ridge no matter what...it felt irksome, bothered me...I think the strap system is real lightweight as well, as in...for this kind of money, meaning full retail, a more robust, rapid to adjust, strap system would be nice... the "comfort," pads are real cheapo as well....
Gage helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
3rd Bell helmet I've had. 2 Volts and my first Gage. It's considerably lighter than the Volt, but just as comfortable. Has the same adjustability as the other Bell products, so I was familiar with fitting. The price was a big factor. Paid >$100 for my Bell Volt. So a lighter and BMC color scheme helmet for my new ride for $75 bucks; can't beat that.
Never thought I would LOVE a Helmet. . .
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this helmet in a last ditch attempt to find a lid that I could truly enjoy. I was incredibly discouraged in my search and had ordered what seems like at least 10 helmets. Nothing fit correctly and I don't exactly have an odd shaped melon. Needless to say, I was a little perplexed. I had tried the Giro Savant ( too deep-cone head) Several Bell Array's ( extremely poor quality-all 4 were broken in the exact spot where the retaining clips had been forced into the foam) Giro Transfer( universal fit-generic fit/too large) and lastly the Uvex Race III ( beautiful helmet-great quality-Made in Germany/not an ounce of comfort. . . at all/ basically universal fit, which meant a huge shell for my smallish nogan. So, with all of that said, the Bell Gage fits like a glove and is incredibly light. Originally, I despised the recessed foam accents on the outside,towards the front of this helmet but they serve a very useful purpose(almost locking my shades into place when I put them on the helmet. The quality is top notch, with no nasty foam overlap on the shell, like cheaper helmets. It is very form fitting and is suitable for a more shallow/compact skull. I am ordering a couple at this price just in case they become unavailable. The Bell Gage fits like your favorite baseball hat and might as well be weightless. You will love it!
Bell Gage Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Bell Gage Helmet is very light, to the point that I don't fell it when I'm wearing it. It's also easy to adjust. I tried several other helmets and would end up with a slight headache after an hour ride, not with this one. It fits perfectly, it's very light, and most of all it's on sale.
Awesome helmet design Awesome design
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was anxious when I ordered the Gage, because I had not tried one on, and it was more expensive than I planned to spend.
It fits great, and it's light as a feather.
The best part is, that it looks bad ass!
Super light
I was afraid it was going to fit, but it fit perfectly, the rear strap helps keep the helmet on snug. It is very light and feels great on the head.
After trying LG's best and Lazer's best, I have finally found a helmet that fits my head --nice and snug, Thanks BELL. As always the customer service here is top notch!
Near Perfect
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
While I haven't tried every helmet, I can't imagine a better looking and fitting one than this one. Matches the team BMC colors, very comfortable in 90+F weather, and no issues with comfort on all day rides. The only minor issue is that I do notice the front pad along the forehead does get pretty wet with sweat, seems to collect a bit more than other helmets. With that sais, highly recommended and looks great w/ BMC.

Wilmington Fire Department gains accreditation
Published: Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 6:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 6:03 p.m.
Wilmington | The Wilmington Fire Department ended a four-year application process Wednesday by becoming an accredited agency with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, according to a release.
To receive the accreditation, the department underwent a 258-criteria self-assessment that also involved a four-person peer team visiting the department in December to validate the documents. That team then recommended WFD be granted accreditation.
The Commission on Fire Accreditation met Monday and Tuesday in Henderson, Nev., and WFD representatives appeared yesterday to defend the department's information. At that point, the commission unanimously voted to grant the accreditation.
Fewer than 200 of the nation's 30,125 fire departments are accredited, according to the release.

The skin is constantly regenerating, creating new cells that are anxious to replace dead ones as they rise to the surface of your face and body. Therefore, as part of your skin care routine, you should exfoliate on a regular basis to allow new skin cells to emerge.

In most cases, it is only necessary to use one of these effective Yonka Exfoliators once, or perhaps twice, a week in order to encourage new cell growth while removing dead cells.

A versatile pack for single and multi-day adventures.
The lightweight Gregory Women's J53 Backpack carries everything you need for a casual weekend backpacking trip, a day at crag, or a longer ultralight backpacking trip. You can comfortably carry up to 40 pounds of gear in this backpack, which weighs just under three pounds. Gregory made the J53 with high-quality ripstop nylon for an excellent strength to weight ratio and outfitted it with the lightweight, supportive CrossFlo suspension system.
Gregory's CrossFlo suspension helps to keep your back cool while you hike by bringing air through the material and by wicking moisture as you sweat. Ventilated EVA foam along the hips and shoulders is well padded where most of the weight of the pack is carried, and it is well ventilated for even more comfort. Entry into the pack is made easy through a top access point with a quick-draw drawstring. The top lid is floating for when you need additional storing space and can be removed when you're going really light on a quick day hike. An internal hydration sleeve with tube port gives you the option of going with a hydration bladder (sold separately), while two mesh side pockets will easily store water bottles for quick access on the trail. Side and bottom compression straps help secure your load, and hideaway ice axe/trekking pole loops secure the appropriate tool for the day's objective.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Back in August 2011, the NFL and the players' union signed off on a new labor deal that set the stage for the league to test for human growth hormone, perhaps as soon as a month later.
Nearly two full seasons now have gone by and nothing's happened.
The NFL Players Association won't concede the validity of a test that's used by Olympic sports and Major League Baseball, and the sides haven't been able to agree on a scientist to help resolve that impasse.
Cue Congress. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday to take a look at the science behind tests for HGH.

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) -- We've already gotten to the point where talking about the Washington Nationals offseason is 400 times more exciting than analyzing why the Wizards are the NBA's worst franchise, again.
Major League Baseball will be conducting their annual owners meetings in Nashville, TN December 3-6. The Nats will learn a gigantic amount about how their future will play out in the Music City.
General Manager Mike Rizzo usually likes to concoct an offseason trade or two, so keep your Twitter eyes peeled for information. If I were him, these would be my three separate plans of action during free agency.
Plan A
Re-sign first basemen Adam LaRoche (.271, 33 HR, 100 RBI, 76 R)
Sign starting pitcher Zack Greinke (15-5, 3.48 ERA, 200 K's, 1.20 WHIP)
Sign relief pitcher Chad Durbin (76 appearances, 3.10 ERA, 49 K's, 1.31 WHIP)
What does this mean?
If plan A is executed, the Nationals keep everything from the 2012 magical season intact, and then some. Greinke would be elevated to third in the rotation above Jordan Zimmermann and Ross Detwiler, and has Cy Young capabilities. The rotation -- arguably already the best in the league -- would become an unstoppable force.
Some people aren't a fan of splurging potentially $80 million for a dominant 29-year-old starter like Greinke. But remember this: the Nationals starting unit avoided the injury bug for the duration of the 2012 season. It's highly unlikely each arm will go unscathed in 2013. And if the Lerner's have the money, why not?
Plan B
Sign center fielder Michael Bourn (.257, 9 HR, 57 RBI, 96 R, 42 SB)
Sign starting pitcher Joe Blanton (10-13, 4.71 ERA, 166 K's, 1.26 WHIP)
Sign first baseman Casey Kotchman (.229, 12 HR, 55 RBI, 46 R)
Sign relief pitcher Kyle Farnsworth (34 appearances, 4.00 ERA, 25 K's, 1.33 WHIP)
What does this mean?
Parting ways with Adam LaRoche will be tough to swallow, but if someone like the Orioles were to offer him a five-year $50 million deal, the Nationals brass will likely pass on his services. LaRoche's replacement? Michael Morse is not necessarily a shoe-in. Tyler Moore will give Morse stiff competition at first, and one of the two may be dealt for prospects or relief pitching.
Bourn, who turns 30 in December, adds blazing speed, a leadoff bat and a permanent center fielder. I would guess Jayson Werth would slide to left field and also the number two spot in the order; followed by Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman and then either Morse/Moore. Harper, who would move to right field because of his arm, reiterated his commitment to lifting weights the other day on 106.7 The Fan. He has potential for close to 35 homers in 2013.
I know Joe Blanton seems like a glorified version of John Lannan, but he's a playoff veteran who can morph into a long reliever without much of an issue. Kotchman will provide competition for the Goon Squad.
Plan C
Sign starting pitcher Shaun Marcum (7-4, 3.70 ERA, 109 K's, 1.27 WHIP)
Sign outfielder Melky Cabrera (.346, 11 HR, 60 RBI, 84 R 13 SB, 113 games)
Although it's doubtful, Rizzo may opt to go the cost efficient route, showing the rest of the league the roster he already has is still good enough to be a surefire playoff team. Of course, this is a guy who had the audacity to shut down Stephen Strasburg.
Marcum, 31, was an above average righty for the Brewers last season but missed some time with injury. What about Cabrera, you ask? Because of his drug suspension, the 28-year-old outfielder will go for cheaper than what he's worth. Cabrera could slide into left field and is worth rolling the dice for. If not, the Nats could survive with Steve Lombardozzi manning left.
