Take small profits and do multiple trades
The successful strategy for day trading is to take small profits and do multiple trades.
Basically it has been observed that many times traders especially day traders loose money due lack of knowledge.
For example - Suppose if day traders buying price is at Rs.200 then he waits till the price goes to minimum Rs.204 or Rs.205 and then they will plan to book profit, which is highly impossible on very frequent basis in single trade or in single move.
If you are expecting Rs.4 to Rs.5 as profit on share price of Rs.200 in single move then you are expecting 2% profit in single trade. So do you think it is convincing you?
We feel this doesnt sound practical and this is the reason why traders loose money after waiting for long time.
Your intention is to earn money in a day, so just concentrate on small profits and do multiple trades instead of wishing to get huge profit in just single trade.
Markets are always right so to avoid the further risk it is always recommended that day traders should keep booking profit wherever applicable.
Take small profits and do multiple trades
This will assure you to that you do profits, and all the profits that you do through out the day, will add up to good amount and this is what you want, right?
So please have a look on following example about taking small profits and doing multiple trades and how it will provide you a good amount at the end of the day.
Following few things about
day trading brokerage and taxes calculation
- The current maximum intraday brokerage offered is 0.05% for buying and 0.05% for selling (you may
even have less brokerage and if you are paying more brokerage then you should either negotiate or
change your broker)
- The service tax is of 12.36% only on brokerage.
- The STT (Security Transaction Tax) is of 0.025% only selling amount.
- The stamp duty on total turnover for a day which is 0.002%.
- and finally you have to pay Regulatory charges on total turnover for a day which is 0.004%
Dont worry these all taxes will add up to very small amount at the end of the day compared to your profits in thousands.
Now lets see how to take small profit which will add up to big amount at the end of the day by doing multiple (more then one) trades.
- Buy KotakBank at Rs.315, quantity - 100 i.e. Rs.315 x 100 = Rs.31500.
So if you have Rs.10, 000 in your trading account you can do day trading because you get margin on your available amount for day trading.
Some brokers provide 3 or 4 times or even higher margin amount.
So you bought Kotakbank at Rs.315, Qty - 100 i.e. Rs.315x100 = 31500 and sold it at Rs.316.
You took only Rs.1 as profit for Rs.315 share price and you sold 100 shares so your profit is Rs.100.
So you get Rs.100 as profit in single trade.
Now lets calculate how much you have to pay as brokerage and taxes and finally how much you will get as your net profit behind this single trade.
Your buying amount is
= Rs.31500 (Rs.315x100 Qty shares)
= 0.05% as brokerage (we took it maximum brokerage but you may have even less) on 31500 which comes to Rs.15.75
= you have to pay service tax of 12.36% only on brokerage
= so 12.36% on Rs.15.75 comes to Rs 1.92
The total brokerage + service tax on buying is Rs.15.75 + Rs.1.92 =
How much you earn in a month with the investment of Rs.10, 000?
If you follow a simple strategy take small profits and do multiple trades then have a look on below example how much money you make in a month.
= Rs.50 per trade as net profit (as per above example).
= 10 trades per day (how much trades are possible, you will come to know by doing your own paper trading, according to our
estimation 10 trades are quite possible)
= total Rs.50x10 = Rs.500 per day.
= total approximate 20 trading days in a month.
So Rs.500x20 = Rs.10,000.
Can you believe you are just making your investment double in one month? What else you want?
On the other side lets imagine you made loss on some days and not able to trade on some days.
Lets consider Rs.5000 as compensation for above losses.
Then also you are making straight 50% (Rs.5000) profit per month.
So the bottom line is forgetting greed factor and taking small profits will make miracle to your investments.
So believe in small and end up the day with big profits.
How to minimize the losses in day trading
Important points to remember before proceeding
To avoid losses and to get confidence do paper trading practice and generate profits and then plan to switch to real day trading.
1. Doing over trading is risky and you may end up in loss.
2. Be in limit and trade and you will get definite success.
3. Stay away from greed like making huge profit in a single day. This is only possible for experience traders and only after spending years and years in the share market.
There is no guarantee that you will make profit for every trade but in fact there are chances that you may end up with losses.
So we will see
1. How these losses occur
2. how to avoid further losses and
3. How to minimize these losses.
How these losses occur
Markets are always right, no one can complain about it. It can behave in any manner and in any direction during the market hours. So it is quite possible for you to do losses.
You buy certain share and had put the selling order but at the same time if the market starts moving in downtrend direction then you have to book loss and at the same time the reverse may also happen like if you did short selling and had put the buy order at lower price and suddenly markets starts moving in upper direction. So in such situation you have to come out of the trade by accepting loss.
So to prevent heavy losses, stop loss trigger price has to be implemented.
Losses can even occur due to your own mistakes
i. Not able to under the specific share movements.
ii. Not in a proper mindset to do trading.
iii. Sometimes markets moves up down in very narrow range then it becomes difficult to trade and book profit and at the same time it is also possible that you may loose your patience and start doing wrong trades.
So in such scenario you have to stop trading immediately for that day and relax or else take holiday for the day.
Finally to have to accept loss for the day (if you are not getting the market and stock directions) and close the trading for that day, dont ever try to do it forcefully and recover your losses because this may end up with more losses.
You may also come across situations like you did the trade and had put the square off order but your share price is not moving at all for long time say for last 30 minutes and so, so in such scenarios it is advisable to accept the minimum loss or minimum profit like if you are targeting Rs.1 profit then you can accept 50 paisa or so and come out of the trade and look for other trades.
Above all scenarios may or may not come to you but this is just precaution.

Tips for buying and selling to do multiple trades in day trading
1. When you buy at the same time (immediately) place the sell order or when you short sell then place your buy order. Dont wait for price to move up or down to that level because you never know how share spikes.
2. For day trading choose shares of higher price like of Rs.300,350,400,450 and so on because we need very small profit behind each share and this small price fluctuation happens in very fast in high price shares.(this is our experience, you can do your own based on paper trading practice.)
For example - The movement of Rs.1 is very easily possible in shares of Rs.300 or 400, so even till Rs.500 you can take shares for profit of Rs.1 per share. (Do your own calculation based on your brokerage rates and see which share price is suitable for your trade).
If you need guidance in calculating the brokerage and taxes, then please
write us
3. Take as small as profit as possible because this assures your profit at very higher rate instead of waiting for huge profit where there are very less chance of success.
4. If you do proper and extensive paper trading practice and follow wait, watch then you will make out yourself how much there is need of using stop loss trigger price.
5. No need to calculating brokerage rates and taxes for each trade. You would prepare your format like for shares of Rs.300 to Rs.500 and for fixed quantity how much profit you have to take behind each share; you do this calculation and keep it with you all the time and follow that while trading.
Same thing you can do for shares of Rs.600 to Rs.800 like wise. The bottom line is taking minimum profit and doing multiple trades.

Now lets calculate the brokerage and taxes on selling amount
= you sold KotakBank shares at Rs.316, Qty - 100 so the amount comes to Rs.31600 (Rs.316 x 100 Qty shares)
= 0.05% brokerage on 31600, comes to Rs.15.8
= service tax 12.36% on brokerage comes to Rs.1.93
You have to pay STT (Service Transaction Tax) of 0.025% on selling amount which comes to Rs.6.32.
So total brokerage + taxes you have to pay for selling is
= Rs.15.8 + Rs.1.93 + Rs.6.32
Total amount you have to pay on buying and selling is
= Rs.17.67 (buying) + Rs.24.05 (selling) =
You also have to pay stamp duty and regulatory charges on total turnover.
Your total turn over is calculated by adding the buying amount and selling amount.
Buying amount is 31500 and selling amount is 31600 which adds up to Rs. 61300
Stamp duty - 0.002% and Regulatory charges - 0.004% adds up to 0.006%
On total turnover amount (Rs. 61300) the taxes comes to Rs 3.8.
So the total amount you have to pay including brokerage and taxes is only
Rs 41.72 + 3.8 = 45.52
So now the conclusion is you are paying Rs.45.52 while you earned the profit of Rs.100.
So dont you think more then 50% profit in single trade is quite enough to do thousands per day.
If you continue doing such small trades with such small profits then it will end up with big amount at the end of the day.
Suppose if you do 10 trades in a day which is quite possible to add up to Rs.500 per day (Rs.50 per trade as per above example).
Now lets see how to do thousands with same strategy as mentioned above. Its simple you just have to increase your quantity of shares.
In our previous example you have brought only 100 quantities, if you make it double then your profit will also get doubled.

Maybe I wasn't the right age when it was released, but like many others in the audience, I never saw the 1964 classic Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke. So when I heard Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire was performing Mary Poppins as their last show of the season, I really wanted to see it.
Using video screens around the theatre with glorious costumes and other staging surprises, this production of Mary Poppins comes off as one of the best. Summer Naomi Smart plays nanny Mary Poppins with elegance, beauty and humor. You'll fall in love with her and get caught up in the magic as quickly as she snaps her fingers. She brings great joy to the role throughout her performance. Bernie Yvon commands the stage as Bert the Chimney Sweet with charm as well as a great voice. The Banks' children, played by Caroline Heffernan, Madison Gloria Olszewski, Johnny Rabe and Brady Tutton are adorable on stage as the brats who just want more attention from their parents. I must mention Rebecca Finnegan, who plays several roles, but stands out as Miss Andrew, the senior Mr. Banks' former nanny. Although she makes a brief appearance, her larger-than-life personality keeps the audience in stitches.
As it has for generations, the music by Richard and Robert Sherman continues to delight with its wonderful score and I was thrilled to see so many youngsters in the audience. Sing a long songs "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Chim Chim Cher-ee" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," were enhanced by the wonderful, upbeat choreography of Alex Sanchez that will practically take your breath away.
Bring your whole family. Mary Poppins is a splendid introduction to the world of musical theater, playing now through January 5, 2014 with Wednesday and weekend matinees. For tickets, call 847-634-0200 or visit www.marriotttheatre.com.
The new season kicks off with Cabaret, beginning January 15, 2014

A back door effort to speed up a review of Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground Law is underway. After several calls for Governor Rick Scott to begin an immediate investigation went unanswered, State Senator Chris Smith empanelled his own Stand Your Ground task force. The task force, announced Tuesday, is made up of mostly Democrats. All are from South Florida.
Less than two weeks after State Senator Chris Smith first asked the governor for an immediate review of Florida's Stand Your Ground Law, he tired of waiting. "Florida is in a crisis mode."
Many believe Stand Your Ground is the reason George Zimmerman walks free after killing 17 year old Trayvon Martin. Governor Rick Scott named a task force to review the law, but it's not meeting until the shooting investigation is completed. Sen. Chris Smith,"It's time to get to work. We have a governor who ran on getting to work and now he wants to wait to work."
Smith, a Democrat, has named his own 14 member task force made up of mostly Democrats and attorneys. Some voted against the law in 2005. All are from South Florida.
Reporter: Are there any Republicans on your task force?
Smith: Actually I don't know of the party of people on the task force. What I've done is reached out to other people."
Smith says he didn't consider party affiliation when picking task force members but ads, there are defense attorneys on the panel who have used Stand Your Ground to win cases.
The task force will also hear from judges who've tried cases with defendants who used the self-defense law.
Governor Rick Scott brushed off criticism of his wait-until-we-have-all-the-facts approach. "The first thing you do is you do an investigation, you make sure justice prevails. Then you step back and say ok, so what did we learn from this. That's the right way of doing it."
Smith says swift action is needed because Florida's tourism industry will suffer if travelers don't think the state is safe.
The task force will hold its first meeting Thursday in Ft. Lauderdale at the city's main library. Public testimony will run from four to six. Then from six to nine members will discuss changes to Stand Your Ground. Those recommendations will be given to the governor, the senate president and the house speaker, possibly with a call for a special session to change the law.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are tiny parasitic worms that parasitize insects, in which they reproduce. Their foraging behavior has been subject to numerous studies, most of which have proposed that, at short distances, EPNs use chemicals that are emitted directly from the host as host location cues. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular has been implicated as an important cue. Recent evidence shows that at longer distances several EPNs take advantage of volatiles that are specifically emitted by roots in response to insect attack. Studies that have revealed these plant-mediated interactions among three trophic levels have been met with some disbelief.
This review aims to take away this skepticism by summarizing the evidence for a role of root volatiles as foraging cues for EPNs. To reinforce our argument, we conducted olfactometer assays in which we directly compared the attraction of an EPN species to CO2 and two typical inducible root volatiles.
The combination of the ubiquitous gas and a more specific root volatile was found to be considerably more attractive than one of the two alone. Hence, future studies on EPN foraging behavior should take into account that CO2 and plant volatiles may work in synergy as attractants for EPNs. Recent research efforts also reveal prospects of exploiting plant-produced signals to improve the biological control of insect pests in the rhizosphere.

Former "X Factor" U.S. contestant Astro (whose real name is Brian Bradley) and other cast members of the Fox drama series "Red Band Society" are going on a U.S. tour to promote "Red Band Society," which premieres in the autumn of 2014 on a date to be announced. The tour (which begins in New York City and Los Angeles on June 25, 2014) will consist of advance screenings of the pilot episode of "Red Band Society," followed by a Q&A with the stars of the show. (See the tour dates at the end of this article.) The tour is being called "Red Band Society Tour: Banding Together for Good," since it is raising money for four charities: Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Ryan Seacrest Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Teen Cancer America.
According to a Fox press release, fans can donate to any one of the four charities. Donations are not required to attend the "Red Band Society" tour screenings, which are free and open to the public. However, RSVPs are encouraged for the events. RSVPs are available at the official tour website.
People who have successfully RSVP'd will be added to the guest list and will receive a confirmation email. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis at each venue, even if you are on the guest list. People who use the hashtag #redbandsociety at the screening can receive an exclusive "Red Band Society" T-shirt.
The tour will feature different cast members in each city, such as Bradley, Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable, Ciara Bravo, Griffin Gluck, Zoe Levin, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Charlie Rowe and Nolan Sotillo, as well as executive producer Margaret Nagle. Bradley, who is 17, plays a character named Dash in "Red Band Society."
Here is a description of "Red Band Society" from Fox: "From Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television and starring Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer ('The Help,' 'Fruitvale Station'), Dave Annable ('Brothers & Sisters,' '666 Park Avenue') and a charismatic cast of fresh faces, 'Red Band Society' is a provocative, inspiring and, at times, comic young ensemble drama told through the eyes of a group of teenagers who meet as patients in the pediatric ward of Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles."
According to a Fox press release, during the "Red Band Society" tour, "the cast members will visit various children's hospitals to meet patients, participate in arts and crafts, as well as conduct interviews and a Q&A through the Ryan Seacrest Foundation broadcast media centers, Seacrest Studios. In addition, cast members will visit UCLA's Daltrey/Townshend Teen and Young Adult Cancer Center on which the series' own pediatric ward is based."
As previously reported, "Red Band Society" will occupy the same time slot (Wednesday from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern/Pacific Time) that "The X Factor" U.S. had before Fox cancelled the show.
"The X Factor" U.S.'s third and final season ended in December 2013. Two months later, Fox announced that the show was cancelled, a decision that had been expected due to the show's rapidly declining ratings.
After his time on "The X Factor," Bradley is having more success as an actor than he is as music artist. Bradley (who also goes by the stage name the Astronomical Kid) is a rapper who came in seventh place on "The X Factor" U.S.'s first season in 2011. He was signed to Epic Records in 2012, when he worked on his first Epic Records album with producers Pharrell Williams and Boi-1da. The album was never released. In 2013, Bradley announced that he had parted ways with Epic Records. In 2012, Astro was featured on a remix of Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back," which was his only music that was released on Epic Records.
In 2012, Bradley made a guest appearance on the CBS drama "Person of Interest" and has done occasional performances on the East Coast. After his time on "The X Factor," Astro has independently released several songs and mixtapes as free downloads.
Bradley is also one of the co-stars of the Relativity Media sci-fi film "Earth to Echo," about a trio of adolescent friends who discover an outer-space alien in their neighborhood. Bradley plays Tuck, one of the friends who documents their adventures on video. "Earth to Echo" has a "found footage" format, with Tuck as the narrator. After multiple delays, "Earth to Echo" is set for release in U.S. and Canadian cinemas on July 2, 2014. Bradley and other cast members attended the Los Angeles Film Festival premiere of "Earth to Echo" on June 15, 2014.
As previously reported, Bradley is also in the Liam Neeson drama film "A Walk Among the Tombstones," which will be distributed in North America by Universal Pictures. The movie, which began filming in New York City in March 2013, will be released in the U.S. and Canada on Sept. 19, 2014. On March 13, 2013, production company Cross Creek Pictures announced several of the movie's other cast members, including Bradley, who plays a 17-year-old homeless artist named TJ in the movie.
Here is the description of "A Walk Among the Tombstones" from a press release:
"Written and to be directed by Academy Award nominated Scott Frank (Out of Sight, The Lookout), the film is based on one of 17 Matt Scudder novels written by acclaimed crime novelist Lawrence Block. The Scudder series has been in print for over 40 years and translated into over 20 languages. The movie is being produced by Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher, with their company Double Feature Films, with Danny DeVito and his company, Jersey Films along with Cross Creek Pictures' Brian Oliver and Exclusive Media's Tobin Armbrust. 'A Walk Among the Tombstones' is also produced and financed by Cross Creek Pictures with Exclusive Media under their joint co-production deal. Tyler Thompson, Cross Creek Pictures' Executive Senior Vice President, will serve as executive producer along with Kerry Orent ('Duplicity' 'Definitely Maybe,' 'Michael Clayton').
"An ex-NYPD cop and recovering alcoholic haunted by regrets, Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson) has a lot to make up for. When a series of kidnappings targeting the wives of drug dealers escalates to grisly murder, Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) and his brother (Boyd Holbrook) hunt the two men down and bring them to bloody justice. An unlicensed private detective, Matt gets help from his former colleague (Ruth Wilson) and a homeless 17-year-old artist, TJ (Astro). Operating just outside the law to track down the monsters responsible, Scudder stops just short of becoming one himself."

Johnny Manziel and the rest of the quarterbacks ran their 40 yard dash on Sunday at the NFL combine. According to Yahoo Sports, Manziel had a respectable time and his 4.56 was comparable to Russell Wilson's 4.55 time during his combine workout.
Johnny Manziel measures just under 6'0" tall.
Obviously, speed is not the major component for NFL scouts when they are studying quarterbacks, but when someone that has Johnny Manziel's escape ability, he had to show great speed for an NFL quarterback.
Overall, Johnny fit right in with Colin Kaepernick, who was in the 4.5 range.
While Manziel will workout for the scouts, he has decided not to throw at the combine. All interested parties will have to take the trip to Texas A&M on March 27, and watch him perform with receivers he is comfortable with.
Most of the quarterback draft prospects ran the 40 yard dash, but Teddy Bridgewater did not. Maybe Bridgewater feels he's the best quarterback in the draft and doesn't need to run the dash at this point in time. Blake Bortles had a best time of 4.81, Alabama fan favorite, A.J. McCarron clocked in at 4.91
Here are the rest of the times from Sunday's 40 yard dash.
Blake Bortles Central Florida 4.81 4.88
Tajh Boyd Clemson 4.75 4.84
Derek Carr Fresno State 4.68 4.65
David Fales San Jose State 4.94 5.03

"The Price is Right" is making headlines thanks to past contestant Cathy Wrench Ashwell of Fayetteville, N.C. I would appear that her appearance on the wheel-spinning gameshow is leading to the downfall of the North Carolina postal service employee. Ashwell has pleaded guilty to committing workers' compensation fraud.
According to Federal investigators, as reported by the Huffington Post, Cathy Wrench Cashwell knowingly lied on her workers compensation filing. North Carolina WRAL stated that Cashwell claimed she could no longer sit, stand, squat, kneel, bend, climb, grasp, reach, or lift heavy objects due to a job injury from 2004. The "investigators found a crack in her story." In 2009, Cathy Ashwell appeared on the "Price is Right" and showed America that she was perfectly capable of spinning the big wheel; not once, but twice.
An indictment was filed in September 2012 and also contained reports that Cashwell went zip-lining on vacation in 2010. She was also seen lifting and carrying furniture in 2011. Monday, June 3, in a federal court, Cathy Wrench Ashwell plead guilty to fraud. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for September.

As reported in the Washington Post on Jan. 29, 2014, Justin Bieber is pleading not guilty to driving under the influence (DUI). Despite the facts that his consumption of alcohol in any amount is prohibited by his age, and his admissions of smoking marijuana and taking prescriptions drugs before driving, he will undoubtedly get off with a slap on the wrist. It would be better if we kicked his butt all the way to the Canadian border.
It would make a fabulous Valentine's Day gift to everyone in the US if Bieber would slink back into Canada before his arraignment on Feb. 14, 2014. Our apologies to Canada for sending him back, but someone up there spawned this self-centered ignoramus and must be held accountable.
There are many addled teenagers around the world that hold Bieber in regard as a singer and an example of what they can aspire to be. It doesn't take a lot of money to be a fool, but Bieber's $130 million wealth is helping document the evils of too much money and too little maturity.
It is not easy to remove a person from the US once they have gained legal entry. The multiple run-ins with police, including egging a neighbor's house, public intoxication, housing felony drug users, resisting arrest, and driving with an invalid license should count for something. Illegal aliens get deported for just being here. Somewhere there is one or more judges that can help establish a pattern of stupidity adequate to make Bieber an unwelcome guest in the US.
Valentine's Day is a celebration of love and respect between two individuals. It is also a great excuse for a person to indulge their partner with loads of chocolate and a bunch of flowers while getting credit for cementing the relationship. Bieber does not reflect love of anything except his self, and he is doing that poorly.
Bieber sets a bad example for our children and is leading them astray by showing the extent that money provides a cushion between the law of the land and increasingly defying legal requirements to be a good citizen.
Before Bieber takes the downward spiral to follow in Lindsay Lohan's footsteps, we should send him home to Canada where his excesses will be less tolerated, unless he can hook up with Rob Ford, the crack smoking mayor of Toronto. Happy Valentine's Day Justin. Please go home.

College Hockey:Badgers Give Sauer Win In Last Regular-Season Game
MADISON, WI — Wisconsin's players pledged to start the game fast. They could not have planned to start as fast as they did.
The Badgers tallied three goals on their first three shifts of the game and scored four times in less than four minutes on their way to a 5-1 victory over Minnesota-Duluth.
"I think the most surprised person was me," Wisconsin coach Jeff Sauer said. "I think the players expected to come out and get off to a quick start tonight; they had talked about it in the (team) meeting. They were very serious about putting this one in the books so we can get some confidence going into the playoffs."
The game was Sauer's last regular season contest as head coach at Wisconsin, and was followed by a 15-minute ceremony honoring the Badgers' longtime coach. It was also the 900th all-time victory for Wisconsin hockey.
Wisconsin freshman goaltender Bernd Bruckler stopped 47 shots before being pulled for senior Mark Baranczyk at 16:07 in the third. Fan favorite Baranczyk made two saves and was duly cheered by the Badger faithful to close out senior night at the Kohl Center.
The Badgers took a 1-0 lead just 43 seconds into the game when senior center Matt Murray fired a shot from the top of the circle that fooled Duluth sophomore goalie Adam Coole.
On the second shift of the game, just 25 seconds later, junior Brad Winchester pounced on a rebound in front of the net put it in the back of the net to make it 2-0.
Wisconsin took a three-goal lead just 51 seconds after that, on the game's third shift, when sophomore wing Rene Bourque took a slapshot from the circle that beat Coole to the glove side.
Coole was pulled after the third goal in favor of junior Rob Anderson, after making just one save.
"Had the third goal been the second goal, it probably would have happened then," Duluth coach Scott Sandelin said. "When you get beat clean by two shots with no traffic, you've got to make the move."
The Badgers nearly scored on their fourth shift of the game as well, but the line did manage to draw a penalty.
"We had a chance there where all four lines could have scored there on their first shift," Sauer said. "The fourth guys that came out had a great opportunity as well."
On the ensuing power play, Winchester netted his 14th goal of the season to make it 4-0.
"It's one of those things where it happens so fast, you just kind of go, 'Whoa!' I don't think you have time to get mad," Sandelin said.
After Wisconsin took its commanding lead, Bruckler was peppered, making 21 saves in the first period on his way to 47 for the game. Through the course of the game Wisconsin was called for 12 minor penalties and one misconduct, resulting in seven power-play opportunities for the Bulldogs.
"We didn't do a good job from the standpoint of staying out of the penalty box and we gave them a lot of shots," Sauer said. "We are not going to give up that many shots through the playoffs and have a lot of success. So we have got to clamp down and stay out of the penalty box."
Bruckler was solid throughout the game, surviving a series of flurries from the Bulldogs. Duluth's lone goal was scored by junior wing Judd Medak at 19:21 in the second period on a shot from the point, after Bruckler had been knocked into the net by Duluth center Jon Francisco.
On back-to-back evenings Wisconsin's goaltenders held Duluth to just one goal despite a barrage of shots. Friday night Badger junior netminder Scott Kabotoff had 34 saves and lost a shutout with just 21 seconds left.
"Look at it this way," Sauer said. "Coming through the playoffs you are looking at a series where you have the possibility of having to go three nights. You want to make sure you have both goaltenders in a confident state of mind. We have two goaltenders who I think believe in themselves, plus the team believes in them and that is the real key."
Wisconsin will host Minnesota State-Mankato Friday at the Kohl Center to open a best two-out-of three series in the WCHA playoffs first round.
"I never expected this team to win the WCHA championship," Sauer said. "But I thought we had a team that could finish in the top five and then see what we could do along the way. We are playing with confidence, hopefully we can put some pressure on (Mankato) right off the bat and then, who knows?"

"I am excited about the opportunity to be a part of the Mississippi State family," said Court. "I am eager to get started and enhance our strength and conditioning program here. We will work hard and become bigger, faster and stronger."
Court is no stranger to running a strength and conditioning department with four years of director experience. He spent the 2011 season as the director of strength and conditioning at San Diego State where he helped the Aztecs to an 8-5 record and a berth in the New Orleans Bowl.
Prior to his position at SDSU, Court was the director of football strength and conditioning for two years at the University of Toledo from 2009-10. During his final season at Toledo, the Rockets went 8-5 and reached the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
In 2008, Court capped a six-year tenure at Bowling Green as strength and conditioning coach. He was an assistant on the Falcons' staff for five years before being elevated to the head strength coach position.
A native of Grosse Point Woods, Mich., Court attended and played baseball at Michigan State, lettering two years as a catcher for the Spartans and serving as a team captain in 2001. He interned for one year with the Michigan State strength and conditioning program and worked with three of the Spartans' programs including football. He also interned in Major League Baseball strength training with the Detroit Tigers after graduating from Michigan State with his degree in kinesiology in 2002.
Court earned in master's degree in sports administration from Eastern Kentucky in 2003.

Lennie Tristano: Line Up
Line Up
Lennie Tristano (piano)
Lennie Tristano / The New Tristano
Lennie Tristano (piano), Peter Ind (bass), Jeff Morton (drums).
Composed by Lennie Tristano.
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Using early (1955) multi-tracking techniques in his home studio, Tristano recorded his piano over prerecorded rhythm tracks by bassist Peter Ind and drummer Jeff Morton. We'll probably never know for sure whether Tristano sped up the tapes in order to get the rather unusual piano sound, but it doesn't matter. This track is an amazing improvisation played over the chord changes to "All of Me," and a perfect example of Tristano's trademark lines and phrasing. If you want to check this tune out further, a transcription is included in Eunmi Shim's book Lennie Tristano: His Life in Music.

Results tagged ' Nick Swisher '
Whew…That Was Close
Whew…the Twins managed to avoid a sweep today at the hands of the Tigers thanks to another solid outing from Carl Pavano and some much-needed clutch hitting (that didn't produce too many double plays).
With pretty much the entire rotation struggling at this point, Pavano took the rotation on his back and turned in 7.2 IP while allowing just three earned runs. Heck, he even managed to keep Miguel Cabrera from completely destroying us!
Multi-hit games from Young, Cuddyer (who is finally starting to hit the ball again), and Kubel allowed the M&M-less offense to come out on top.
This was a big win for the Twins, as heading into the break three games back is much better (if only psychologically) than five.
-Justin Morneau, due to his lingering concussion symptoms, will not start in the All-Star game (or play whatsoever) on Tuesday night. Cabrera will start the game, while Paul Konerko of the White Sox has been added to the roster.
-Sad news today in hearing that longtime Yankees PA announcer Bob Sheppard passed away today. I know that he hadn't been doing the PA for a few years now, but his recorded broadcast still introduces Derek Jeter to this day. Younger fans may not remember the name, but the voice will likely be familiar.
Preview: Home-Run Derby! Here are this year's participants:
National League: Chris Young (Diamondbacks), Corey Hart (Brewers), Matt Holliday (Cardinals), Hanley Ramirez (Marlins)
American League: David Ortiz (Red Sox), Nick Swisher (Yankees), Miguel Cabrera (Tigers), Vernon Wells (Blue Jays)
Making 'Em Sweat
Last night, the Minnesota Twins look for all the world to be headed to another disappointing loss on the road. Down 5-2 after five innings, Carl Pavano was getting beat by the long ball and the bats weren't doing much of anything (besides grounding to Lyle Overbay, that is).
However, that is when the bats started to heat up:
Not only did it take back-to-back jacks from Morneau and Kubel to jump back into the game, but big hits were also needed from Mauer (dinger), and doubles by Thome and Delmon Young (who finished the game 3-3) since the pen kept serving up the meatballs.
As much as everyone is worried about the Twins right now, I think that our hitting is what it is and we aren't going to change anything. If we continue to trot out a Span-O-Dawg-Mauer-Morneau-Cuddy-Kubes-Big D-Big Jim-JJ lineup, we'll score runs:
If it doesn't, then we probably just don't deserve to make the playoffs anyway, so why worry? Thus, are biggest area of improvement will be pitching. Cliff Lee would be huge, but enough so to mortage away guys like Wilson Ramos and Aaron Hicks? At this point, I would have to say yes. With that kind of potent lineup day in and day out, we may actually have a chance to take on the mighty Yanks in the playoffs this year (one always has to assume that the AL road to the World Series runs through the Big Apple), but not without a few pitchers to hold back their firepower. Sending Lee, Liriano, and Pavano/Slowey/Baker/Blackie to the mound would give as at least a fair shake against their big bats, I think, though of course nothing is guaranteed.
Another key…more pictures like this:
-Too bad Delmon Young won't win the Final Vote balloting, but Kevin Youkilis probably deserves it. Just as long as Swish doesn't make it…man I hate that guy!
Preview (45-38, 2nd, 0.5 GB DET): Kevin Slowey (8-5, 4.57) vs. Marc Rzepczynski (0-0, 0.00). The Tigers needed some late-inning heroics to preserve their division lead last night, so let's keep the pressure on. I don't want to be two games back heading into Comerica this weekend.
Evolution of A Curse
Before 2004, the year in which a staggering chain of events (begun with this)…
…released the Boston Red Sox from their Yankee-dominant purgatory, the Sox were seemingly "cursed" by the inability to: A. Win the big game; and B. Win ANY meaningful game against the arch-rival Yankees.
After watching (in person) the Twins fall twice to the Yanks in one day today at Target Field, I now have my own little theory as to where that curse went and where it is dwelling now…
In both 2003 and 2004…
…the Yankees defeated the Twins in the ALDS. From that point forward, we haven't been able to touch them. At home, we are something like 10 games under .500 against them in the Ron Gardenhire era. On the road, we have won (literally) a handful of games in that same time period. Plus, the 2009 playoffs brought another ALDS defeat at their hands, this time a clean sweep.
Could it be possible that the Red Sox, free from the "1918" chants, somehow transferred the curse to us, seeing as it was us who allowed the epic 2003 and 2004 ALCS' to transpire in the first place?
Today, the Yankee heroes were primarily three-fold:
First, Derek Jeter provided the lone offense in the resumption game today, then proceeded to make a spectacular "jump-throw" (his trademark) to gun down a runner at first that, if safe, would have allowed the tying run to score.
Then, Pettitte again basically shut us down for eight innings, only allowing two measly runs.
Finally, the back-breaker came from Nick Swisher, who launched a bomb into the right field bleachers in the bottom of the eighth inning (with two outs, of course) off Jon Rauch to give the visitors a lead they would not relinquish.
Let's just say this: Remember those old "whose your Daddy" chants that Yankees fans used to hurl at Pedro Martinez? They now apply for a completely different reason.
Preview (26-20, 1st, 1.0 GA DET): Javier Vazquez (3-4, 6.69) vs. Nick Blackburn (5-1, 4.50)

In-Depth on Marvel's "Divided We Stand" and The Latest Hydra Cap Twists
Comic Books
Early last year, I wrote a piece about Eric Trautmann, who, at the time, had just gotten passed over to be the new Checkmate writer (which would have made waaaay too much sense for it to actually happen).
At the time, I noted that Trautmann was looking for writing gigs and that I hoped that someone would give him a look see because he was a good writer.
Well, I've noticed his name has been popping up more and more lately at DC Comics, with the current JSA vs. Kobra mini-series (which I've quite enjoyed) that continues in the same style as his previous Checkmate work (which he co-wrote with the über-talented Greg Rucka) and more recently, the ongoing Shield series.
And now he's going to be the new co-writer on Action Comics (with the aforementioned Rucka), possibly his biggest gig yet.
It's great to see Trautmann's talents not go unnoticed and it is sort of fun to look back at my post and be glad that my worries at the time were unwarranted.
I agree – I've not been exposed to that much of his writing, but what I've seen I've liked a lot. I thought it was the shield he was writing of the red circle characters?
It is The Shield that he's writing. The first issue was good; mostly set-up, but intriguing set-up. JSA vs Kobra kicks all kinds of ass, and should really be seen as the conclusion of Checkmate.
I just recently dropped Action, I liked it, just not enough to keep getting it in a world with limited budgets. Will he be joining the "Nightwing & Flamebird" version of the book, or is this down the road when Supes returns to Earth?
This has nothing to do with his merit as a writer, I suppose, but Mr. Trautmann has been such a prince to my students at shows here in Seattle that I'm glad to hear he's doing well. He's a rock star as far as my cartooning kids are concerned, for The Art of Halo. Gavin passed his signed copy around and gloated over it for WEEKS after meeting Eric, it made him quite the Big Man on Campus.
I thought it was the shield he was writing of the red circle characters?
Yep, silly typo!
Thanks for the pick-up.
There'll be a little something extra in your check, sir.
As always: I appreciate the kind words.
Plus he and his wife own a awesome comic book store in Olympia WA. Great stuff all around Eric, keep up the good work!
Am I the only one who thinks Trautmann should be writing JSA? The main series, I mean. His mini has been as good or better than Johns' run on the relaunch(maybe less so Johns' run on the previous volume).
Honestly, I'm not sure I'd be the best fit, and frankly, if I did that, I wouldn't be able to read the story that's currently planned, which I'm quite looking forward to.
I'm really enjoying JSA vs. Kobra. I picked up SHIELD #1 based on this and thought it was pretty good. I'm not real crazy about Rucka though, so I may pass on the Action stuff.

VIDEO : A Weekend along the Basque Coast
VIDEO : A Weekend along the Basque Coast
Georges Rouzeau - 2012-03-07
An exceptionally beautiful coast featuring abrupt cliffs and sandy coves, plus a backcountry composed of exquisitely verdant hills: the Basque Country exudes a gentle authenticity that is truly unique.
Ah, Biarritz: the town that is said to have practically invented swimming in the sea, a pastime which gained popularity there as early as 1830. With the foamy reefs of the ocean to one side and the turrets, keeps, staircases and towers of this Disney-like city on the other, a stroll through Biarritz is truly enchanting. Looking for Prince or Princess Charming? Maybe he or she waits near the superb bay that seems to attract everyone like a magnet. The walk from the Rocher de la Vierge (The Virgin's Rock) to the Pointe Saint-Martin and its lighthouse and small fishing port is fabulous. As for the town itself, you'll find both the best and the worst. Sumptuous mansions of the eclectic style favoured in the 19C such as the Villa Belza and neo-gothic chateaus such as the Château Javalquinto: these are the best. The worst? The shore is often marred by concrete eyesores whose shutters are closed eleven out of twelve months a year.
Leave Biarritz via the D911, then take the D810.
Once you've arrived in this seaside resort town, set at the highest altitude of the Basque coast, look no further. Take a seat in one of the cafés of the central square of this postage-stamp sized village and contemplate the perfect Basque trilogy: a church, town hall and Basque pelota wall where fast and furious matches reportedly take place. The Rue de la Grande-Plage and the very steep Promenade de la Mer lead to a beach called La Plage du Centre. You might also climb up to the St. Madeleine chapel perched atop the cliff road: the panoramic view is superb.
Return to the D810.
What was once a fishing port where boats went out for whales, tuna and even sardines is now a posh, trendy resort town frequented by the rich and famous (Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, Frédéric Beigbeder and Jules-Édouard Moustic...) and masses of surfers. Paul-Jean Toulet, the French poet and author best known for his Contrerimes is buried here; Pierre Daninos, who wrote the Notebooks of Major Thompson, was born here. The village boasts three beaches: Parlementia, famous for its waves; Harotzen Costa, a natural reserve; and Cenitz at the foot of the moor-topped cliffs.
Continue along the D810. Park in the centre of town near the port.
A successful union of fishing village and resort town and the only sheltered harbour between Arcachon and Spain, with St. Jean-de-Luz it's love at first sight. Oceanside there's an immense beach lined with 19C sea-side manors, while towards the town you'll find the port with its fishing nets laid out to dry, ship-owners' homes dating from the 17C and the splendid brick and dressed stone Maison de l'Infante. Have a seat at one of the cafés on the Place Louis XIV opposite the handsome classic manor where the Sun King awaited his fiancée. As for shopping, try the macaroons at the Maison Adam (open since the 17th century!) and Pierre Oteiza's cured meats.
Leave St-Jean-de-Luz by taking the D912 west.
There's no time to stop at Ciboure, St. Jean-de-Luz's little sister located on the other side of the port, nor is there time to make a halt at Socoa in hopes of a glimpse of the gigantic Belharra wave, Europe's biggest breaker.
Take the Route de la Corniche: the Cliff Road (D912).
Without further ado, it's time to discover the marvellous Corniche Basque or Basque Cliff Road. Fourteen kilometres long, the Corniche reveals the quintessence of the Basque Coast: its heath and gorse-covered moors that end abruptly in cliffs that stretch down to a rough sea which crashes against the rocks, frothing and churning; a sea as taut as a filmy, scintillating skin. This is one of the weekend's most beautiful moments. Just before Hendaye, you might stop at the Domaine d'Abbadia, a natural, protected area on the coastline which stretches along the Pointe de St. Anne.
Turn back, take the Route de la Corniche in the opposite direction (it's endlessly lovely) and turn right onto the D913 before Socoa. Follow the D810 and the D918 near the Chantaco golf course.
In Ascain, take the D4 towards Sare. Once at Sare, take the D305.
Ainhoa is a quintessential Basque single-street village with a pelota wall attached to a church whose small graveyard is studded with discoid stelae. The street features an impressive series of whitewashed and freshly painted houses, all of which sport half-timbered frames and overhanging roofs. Under the porches, a few mule-hitching rings have survived from the era when merchants and pilgrims en route for Santiago de Compostela regularly passed through this village just a few kilometres from the Spanish border. The church, with its gilt-panelled choir, double-arched nave and coffered ceiling, is unmistakably Basque! This tiny village unexpectedly claims several prestigious establishments such as Pierre Oteiza, producer of ham from pie-noir ('magpie') hogs; the Michelin-starred Ithurria hotel-restaurant and the Oppoca hotel-restaurant where we had a very pleasant stay. This is exactly the genre of family-run inn we love, especially since Paxi, the son, now devotes his unquestionable talent to running Oppoca's gastronomic restaurant.

Bungie's upcoming shooter Destiny has been something of a mystery to players not on the inside of the walls of development. The game appeared to have aspects of MMO, mixed with shooter, mixed with other traits of similar genres. Bungie had stayed somewhat mum on defining what slot the game would fit in to.
E3 2014 changed all of that, with exclusive gameplay, a public alpha and plenty of info to help players define what their experience would be like in the upcoming shooter. Bungie also took the time to sit down, exclusively with Examiner.com, to help iron out some of the details regarding the highly anticipated title.
Destiny looks to blur the lines of what a single player and multiplayer experience is defined as within the game world. Players may be exploring the world, collecting loot with buddies, when a spider tank will drop in and attack randomly. While these "Public Events" are something Destiny will be known for and feature heavily, Bungie is still tweaking and tinkering the final rules for the modes.
Tom Sanocki, Character, Cinematic, and Technical Art Lead for Destiny, spoke to us about player limits.
The exact amount of players [that we will allow] in the public spaces is something we are still trying to figure out.
"We're still tuning that as we finish off the game and find that optimal balance," Sanocki continued, "The idea is you'll find something that feels live, vibrant and interesting. You won't feel a low."
Sanocki also wanted to be sure that players know Bungie's history of listening to the feedback garnered from community events like the beta and full release will not be changed with the new release. "We embrace all of that [feedback]," Sanocki said, "The beta is going to be the second step toward launch, and when we launch, we're hoping to take all of that feedback and use it to create a great launch for our game."
Competitive multiplayer is a huge focus for Bungie, as Halo redefined and helped standardized multiplayer shooters. Destiny aims to deliver a diverse and rewarding experience. Balance being a key pillar for Destiny's multiplayer, team numbers and total players being is concern for some. Bungie does want to ensure a unified vision across all modes is achieved.
For competitive multiplayer, the largest team size is 6v6 and that's an intentional design decision. We decided to do that because that is the best way [we can demonstrate] the style of competitive multiplayer [we want]. This way everyone has a role and feels they can contribute.
"With competitive multiplayer, we have a number of game modes spread across a number of maps on a variety of different planets," said Sanocki.
One of those modes detailed by Sanocki, called Patrol, has players fighting for control on alien planets. "Patrol has three points on a map, players will need to capture them and hold them," Sanocki noted, "defeat your enemies and you'll receive bonus points the longer you hold them. The rewards afterwards will be used to upgrade your character."
Those rewards gained during and after Crucible matches as well as out on your own, come in the way of weapons, armor, and pieces of flair for your Guardian. Each of those will affect your stats in a typical MMO fashion. Your inventory, however limited, can be stretched across the three total characters you may hold. Sanocki stated that the Tower, the game's main hub area, will serve as a storage point for your overflow or valuable items that you want to share with your characters.
That vault is shared among all of the characters on your account. It's a great way of sharing gear that one character doesn't need with one that does," Sanocki said.
Playing with others or playing alone is the core choice held within Destiny, and Bungie is clearly showing that Destiny isn't best played one way or the other. It's best played the way you want to play it.
"We want them to make it their hobby, and folks will be able to play it as intense or casual as they want," Sanocki stated, "Whatever activity you choose, you will get rewards for it and you'll be able to use that to build your character.
If you choose to play competitive multiplayer all the time, you should do that and you'll have a wonderful time. If you're a casual player and you're not big into shooters, you can spend more time in The Tower, you can explore, picking up missions as you go along, and [your experience] will be low-key."
Not many games currently out, or coming out before Destiny offer as much open choice between the competitive, cooperative, and single-player aspects of a game, without offering a clear option that was designed with forceful intent. Destiny looks to not only change those conventions, but smash them with a gravity hammer, as Destiny is your game to play, your way.
The Destiny Beta begins for PlayStation console users on July 17, with Xbox consoles to follow on July 23, concluding days later. Players should sign in beginning now to register, redeem their codes and select their console to play on via Bungie.net. Destiny will hit shelves and day one digital release for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on Sept. 9.

College Hockey:Colgate Weathers Late Storm To Pull Out Victory
Slow Start Dooms Robert Morris
HAMILTON, N.Y. — The inaugural meeting between the Colgate Raiders (6-7-2, 1-3-2 ECACHL) and Robert Morris Colonials (6-4-1, 3-1-0 CHA) came down to the wire. Colgate got into some penalty trouble in the waning minutes of the third period which gave Robert Morris the boost they needed, and the Colonials scored two goals in the final five minutes.
Ryan Cruthers scored with 13 seconds left on the clock to pull Robert Morris within one, and six seconds later off the face-off Robert Morris was able to generate a 4-on-2 odd-man rush and Jason Towsley came within inches of tying the game. However, stand-up goaltending from Colgate's Mark Dekanich secured the Raiders' win 4-3.
Colgate's leading point-scorer Tyler Burton kicked off the scoring seven minutes into the first. Defenseman Kevin McNamara cradled the puck at the offensive blue line and zipped a slap shot on net that Burton redirected. Robert Morris goaltender Jim Patterson made the kick save, but Burton picked up his own rebound and skated around the fallen Patterson to bury his seventh of the season.
A little over a minute later, the Raiders tacked on another goal to go up 2-0. Francois Brisebois picked off a breakout pass just outside the Robert Morris zone and made a nifty move around a defender to get off a backhand shot on net. Patterson got a shoulder on it, but the puck bounced up and landed by the stick of a crashing Joe DeBello, who knocked the puck home.
Assistant Coach Brad Dexter kidded before DeBello came out to meet the press after the game that DeBello "blacked out" after the play and did not remember the goal. "I didn't think it went in, I headed to the bench after I hit the puck," admitted DeBello. All of a sudden, he heard loud cheers and was swarmed by his teammates congratulating him on his first career collegiate goal.
Colgate opened up the scoring in the second a mere 39 seconds in. Tom Riley skated coast-to-coast, made a move that allowed him to slide the puck between the legs of a Robert Morris defender and skate around him, and finished off the play by feeding Colgate's leading goal-scorer, Brian Day, who was following up on the opposite side of the net. Day one-timed in his eighth of the season to give Colgate a 3-0 lead.
Robert Morris finally got on the board midway through the second. Deep in Raiders' territory, Chris Margott sent a pass to Colonials' leader Cruthers behind the net. Cruthers skated out in front and in one motion spun towards the net and roofed a shot on the near side for his seventh of the season.
No more scoring action took place for the remainder of the second, but tempers flared at the 19:00 mark after the Raiders crashed hard toward Patterson's net after a squelched Raiders offensive opportunity. Robert Morris' Brett Hopfe got into two separate skirmishes after the whistle with the Raiders' Peter Bogdanich and team captain Jesse Winchester. Gloves were dropped by numerous players, so the officials had to actively take charge and spend several minutes explaining the penalty situation to both sets of coaches when all players were designated to their respective penalty boxes (a total of six penalties were delved out between the two teams). Robert Morris ended up with a power play at the end of the ordeal, but was unable to capitalize on it.
Kevin McNamara extended the Colgate lead to 4-1 with his own premier collegiate goal, following up the rebound of his initial shot from the left point and burying it through goaltender Patterson's pads.
With six minutes left, Colgate displayed some undisciplined play and proceeded to go down five-on-three. Robert Morris did not squander the opportunity, scoring about a minute into the power play. Chris Margott received the puck on a give-and-go at the point with Chris Kaufman and one-timed a shot past Dekanich's extended left leg for his fourth goal of the season.
Colgate took another late penalty which Robert Morris was not able to capitalize on, but the team did have a goal negated because it was kicked in with a skate. "It was the right call," Colonials' coach Derek Schooley affirmed after the game.
The Colonials followed up the controversial play by netting one with an extra-attacker on the ice at the 19:47 mark. Cruthers notched his second of the game off a Chris Margott cross-ice pass on the rush into the Raiders' zone. Dekanich sprawled toward the open side of the goal mouth but was not able to get there in time. Dekanich redeemed himself with a stellar chest save on the four-on-two rush that the immediately followed the center-ice faceoff, sealing the Raiders' victory.
"We weathered the storm," Raiders' head coach Don Vaughan commented after the game. "It was a good win for us."
Vaughan felt that the overall effort from his team was good. "Robert Morris is a good team. They play with an edge, and they're well-coached," he said.
Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley approved of the play of his own team, and complemented the Raiders on playing with energy and burying the chances they were given. "We need to minimize our mistakes," said Schooley.
Cruthers assessed that his team came out slow to start off the game, which he attributed to having the weekend off last week. He was extremely impressed with how the Colonials were "all over" the Raiders in the final two minutes. "The game ended a couple minutes too early for us," Schooley summed up.
The teams play again Sunday afternoon at Starr Rink at 4 p.m.
