College Hockey:NCHC picks: Feb. 7
If you followed our picks last weekend, chances are you were disappointed. I went 2-2 (.500), while Matthew put up a bagel, going 0-4. On the year, I now have a two-game lead in our season-long picks contest; the winner gets a six pack from the loser. Now I just have to hold Matthew off. I am now 73-48-19 (.589) on the year, while Matthew is 71-50-19 (.575).
Friday-Saturday, Feb. 7-8
Western Michigan at Miami
Candace: The off-weekend came at a good time for coach Enrico Blasi's club, which had started the second half dismally. Blasi hinted that there were several things he wanted to work on with his players to ready them for the stretch run. I don't think that equals sweep yet though. Miami 3-2, Western Michigan 3-2
Matthew: Western hasn't won in Oxford, Ohio since Nov. 19, 2004 and has gone 0-12-1 on the road against the RedHawks since then. Now, though, I think is the time for the Broncos to finally pick up another win or maybe two on Miami's ice. WMU underwhelmed last weekend at home against Minnesota-Duluth, but I think Andy Murray will have his Broncos set to go this weekend, and I like them to pick up a few points. Miami 3-1, Western Michigan 3-1
No. 15 Denver at No. 6 St. Cloud State
Candace: Coach Bob Motzko's Huskies still haven't found their first half defense, which is good news for a Denver club that has struggled to score goals at times this year. In every road series except for Alaska that Denver has played this year, the Pioneers have won the Friday game, and St. Cloud has struggled at home in Friday games. Denver 2-1, St. Cloud 3-2
Matthew: It looked throughout the first half of the season as though SCSU was by far the class of the league, but the Huskies have only won two of their last seven games and now they have three teams only two points behind them in a tie for second place in the standings. Denver's one of those three teams, and I've liked Sam Brittain's play in goal for DU recently more than I've liked Ryan Faragher's for SCSU, but as this series is in St. Cloud, I'll take a split. St. Cloud State 4-2, Denver 3-1
Colorado College at No. 17 Minnesota-Duluth
Candace: Minnesota-Duluth continues to improve, and after this weekend, it wouldn't surprise me if they are in a tie for first or second. Minnesota-Duluth 3-2, 3-1
Matthew: CC has looked better in recent weeks, and the Tigers surprised me a bit in getting a split at home with Miami last weekend. However, Duluth has been the NCHC's hottest team of late, and I think the Bulldogs will be raring to go this weekend for their first home series in a few weeks and ought to get the job done. Minnesota Duluth 3-2, 4-1
Nebraska-Omaha at No. 16 North Dakota
Candace: If UNO's defense plays like it did against St. Cloud last week, the Mavericks could be in for a rough weekend, because North Dakota loves playing tough, checking defense at the Ralph. North Dakota 3-1, 4-2
Matthew: Whether or not UNO No. 1 goaltender Ryan Massa makes it back from his groin injury in time for this series, I think UND will be able to handle the Mavericks. UND has the league's best home record at 8-4-1 and has won its last six games at the Ralph, and goalie Clarke Saunders has historically been very good against UNO, both with UND and with Alabama-Huntsville before he transferred to North Dakota. North Dakota 5-3, 4-3

text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH92201 ) Citation No H178802692 LUISI TRUCK LINES INC. ) ) Defendant. ) OPINION AND ORDER Hearing convened before Referee Mills in Pendleton, Oregon on January 26, 1993. OR OSHA was represented by its certified law student, Eric Stoop. The employer Luisi Truck Lines, was represented by its attorney, Gary Luisi. Business Support Services recorded the proceedings. Exhibits 1 through 12 and 11A were received into evidence at the time of the hearing. The record was closed on January 29, 1993 when a supplemental exhibit, No. 11B, was received from the employer. ISSUES The employer contests the citation dated March 17, 1992 which, as corrected, fined the employer the sum of $3900 for failure to abate a previously issued citation. FINDINGS OF FACT OR OSHA safety officers inspected Luisi Truck Lines Inc., on May 22, 1991. Bill Luisi is the president and chief operating manager of the corporation. A brother also works in the corporation as a dispatcher. The business provides trucking services in the agricultural area. The inspection in May of 1991 revealed a number of safety violations. A citation was issued on June 2S, 1991 which listed 14 different violations and assessed a total penalty of $695. Correction of the violations was required at various times. Some were completed at the time of the inspection, some corrections were required immediately upon receipt of the citation, and others were required to be corrected at a subsequent time, either on July 9, July 16, or July 23, 1991. (Exs. 54 to 57). The employer did correct several of the cited violations. It also appealed the citation. In the meantime, the employer, on July 12, 1991, asked for a general extension of 90 days to Correct the remainder of the citations because it was its busy season. (Ex. 11A). That general request for an extension was deferred and additional information was requested by OROSHA. (Ex. 11B). The information was provided by letter dated July 26, 1991. In the employer's letter of that date it was indicated that the employer planned to have all citations taken care of by October 15, 1991. (Ex. 123). There was a short delay of about a month. It is not clear from the record what occurred in terms of communication between the employer and OROSHA during that month. However, on August 20, 1991 the employer was granted an extension limited to a citation dealing with PVC air lines. The extension was good through October 21, 1991. At this same time, the employer's appeal of the original citation was negotiated. A settlement was reached on August 27, 1991 which set the date of the stipulation as the starting date for correction of the violations set forth in the original citation. Depending on whether the time set in the original citation for correction was to run from the date of the inspection or the date of the citation, the employer therefore had another 30 to 60 days to complete the corrections. By the end of October 1991 the time for correction under either the original extension or the stipulation had run. The employer had not corrected all of the violations. At that time the employer ran into difficulties because of health problems in the Luisi family. Mr. Luisi's mother became ill and passed away. In addition, Bill Luisi's niece developed brain cancer. His brother therefore was not available to perform his usual duties in the business and additional duties fell on Mr. Bill Luisi. With the press of business and the health problems the citations that had not yet been corrected were not corrected. Senior safety compliance officer Chuck Herberger and safety compliance officer Steve Lankford performed a routine follow-up inspection to determine compliance with the prior citation on December 30, 1991. Six of the originally cited violations had not been corrected. A Failure to Abate Citation was subsequently issued on March 17, 1992 which, as corrected, set forth penalties for failure to abate in the sum of $3900. The basis for the correction is reflected in the citation, Exhibit 1, at page 3. Item 12 which sets forth a fine of $1050 should have read $850 by virtue of the settlement of the previously issued citation, which reduced the originally assessed fine $105 to $85 on Item 1-2. The Failure to Abate citation concerned the following violations: Item 1-1. Employees were not provided information and training on hazardous chemicals at the time of the follow-up inspection December of 1991. Bill Luisi indicated that he had the information on his desk for this requirement but had not been able to follow up on it. Item 1-2. The employer was required to purchase a tire cage for inflating tires. The employer's normal supplier for tires and tire-related equipment was Les Schwab. A new tire cage was ordered on July 9, 1991 following the original citation. For some reason the cage took a long time to get and was still on back order by the time of the follow-up inspection. Les Schwab did finally receive the cage and it was provided to the employer following the follow-up inspection. While this violation was not abated, the employer did use due diligence to try to comply with the requirement. Item 2-5. The employer was not holding safety committee meetings at the time of the original inspection. One safety committee meeting was held following the original inspection, but no follow-up meetings were held. In addition, no records were kept as required regarding the safety meetings. Item 2-6. The employer was required to implement a written hazard communication program. Again, the employer had this information available but had not yet implemented the program. Item 2-7. The employer was required to have material safety data sheets (MSDSs) for all of its hazardous chemicals. By the time of the reinspection the employer had some but not all of the MSDSs. Item 2-11. PVC pipe cannot be used for air lines. The employer had PVC air lines at the time of the original inspection and those air lines had not been removed by the time of the follow-up inspection. The above failures to abate were both observed and discovered by Mr. Herberger and Mr. Lankford at the time of the reinspection on December 30, 1991. They followed up on January 6, 1992 at which time the violations had been abated. Mr. Luisi testified that it took him only two days to take care of the violations. Fines were computed under OAR 436-01-155. The fines were based on the original penalty assessments. The Administrative Rule allows for a penalty of up to $2500 per day. By informal rule OROSHA cuts off the fine after ten days. Accordingly, for example, with respect to Item 1-1, the original fine was $105. Ten days at $105 is $1050, which was the fine assessed for that failure to abate. The other citations were based upon the same process. CONCLUSIONS AND OPINION OROSHA has the burden of proving the abatement violations as cited and the reasonableness of the penalties. With the exception of one penalty which I will discuss below, OROSHA has met its burden of proof. There really is no dispute about the appropriateness of the abatement violations. The employer was cited in June by a citation ultimately issued in July. Those citations became final following the settlement agreement reached by the parties in August. The citation required correction of the noted violations. By the time of the reinspection in December of 1991, the corrections had not occurred on the six items noted in the abatement citation. At the time of the reinspection, Mr. Bill Luisi basically admitted that the violations had not been abated. The fact of the violations is established. The employer raises several arguments suggesting that either the abatement violations should be disregarded or at least the penalties adjusted. First, I understood Mr. Luisi to testify that he was not aware that he could be fined for failing to abate. I have reviewed the citations and I believe it is true that they do not warn an employer that failure to correct may lead to additional penalties. However, that is not necessary. An employer is required to comply with safety rules and is subject to penalty for failing to do so. No warning is required. The employer gave me a great deal of information and argument as to what extensions were granted, and the effect of the stipulation, with regard to when the abatement was required. I have considered that evidence in a light most favorable to the employer. One theory is that the employer requested a general extension and was granted an extension to October 21, 1991. Pursuant to the employer's own request for extension, that should have been enough time as the employer indicated it hoped to take care of all the citations by October 15. The other theory is that, if it is assumed that the correction times in the original citation ran from the date of the inspection rather than the date of the citation, the employer had as long as two months to comply. If the settlement is interpreted to extend the correction for an additional two months from the date of the settlement, the employer would have had until October 27 to correct. Again, assuming the evidence in a light most favorable to the employer, the employer at best would have had until the end of October to correct the citations. Obviously they were not corrected by that date. The employer suggests that the press of business and illness in the family was responsible for the failure to correct. Neither the press of business or family illness provides a legal justification for the failure to abate. At best, the employer could have sought an additional extension based upon those mitigating circumstances. It did not choose to do so, even though the employer obviously was aware of its ability to request an extension since it had done so before. I do not, therefore, find any justification for the employer's failure to abate the violations in a timely fashion. The employer also offers the above arguments in mitigation of the penalties. However, the penalties were correctly determined, with one exception, under OAR 437-01-155. Penalties may be assessed up to $2500 per day for failure to correct. Here, the penalties were within that range and were based upon the original citations' penalties. The penalties could have been much higher as the failure to abate had gone on for some time. However, by internal rule OROSHA cuts off the penalties after ten days. The bottom line is that once the employer was reinspected and became aware of the penalties that could be assessed for its failure to abate, the employer was able to correct the violations in a matter of two days. There is no reason why this could not have been done in a timely fashion. If the violations had been corrected by October 15 as the employer originally suggested it could do in its original request for extension, no penalties would have ever been assessed. Under OAR 437-01-155 the penalty for failure to correct is $50 at a minimum if the failure to correct is due to a lack of diligence on the part of the employer. If there is a lack of diligence OROSHA may fine from $50 to the maximum of $2500 per day. I think it is clear that there was a lack of diligence on the part of the employer to abate the violations. That is not true with respect to only one of the violations. When cited for the failure to have a tire cage, the employer almost immediately went to its regular supplier and ordered a cage. For some reason the cage was on back order for some time. Ultimately, the cage came in. I do not find that the employer lacked diligence with respect to that violation. The employer went to its regular supplier of that type of equipment. It was not the employer's fault that the item was on back order. Safety officer Lankford agreed that this failure to abate was not the employer's fault. While it is true that the employer could have followed up with a different supplier, I do not believe that that was essential to a finding of due diligence. The employer had ordered the item from a reputable supplier and was not unreasonable in relying upon that supplier to come through with the item. I therefore find that the penalty for the tire cage is not reasonable and delete that penalty. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS: l. Citation No. H178802692 issued on March 17, 1992 following a December 30, 1991 inspection is approved in part. The violations for Items 11, 25, 26, 27, and 211 and the penalties assessed for those violations are approved. 2. The violation for Item 1-2 is approved; however, the penalty of $850 is deleted.

Difficult customer types — Type 2: space cadets
By Joe Anzalone
Asset Marketing Systems
As we saw in the first installment of this series, certain personality types require special handling. The normal rules of engagement regarding questioning, objection handling and closing may not apply. This is especially true with the charming, maddening customer type we affectionately call the space cadet.
Have you ever had a first appointment with a prospect and found that person charismatic, fun and friendly? Did that prospect seem to pick up on financial concepts quicker than most? On the second appointment, did they seem to forget virtually everything you told them on the first appointment? If so, you may have a space cadet on your hands.
Typically long on personality but short on follow through, this type of customer has been vexing financial salespeople for years. The key to dealing with them, as with all difficult customer types, is to understand them.
The space cadet is creative, undisciplined and impulsive. They are often good writers and public speakers, marketing types or gifted salespeople themselves. To them, the magic of an undertaking is not in the work that's required to get it done, nor are they interested in the details or finer points of what you're showing them. Rather, they are turned on by the bigger picture — the idea.
Typically visual learners, they assimilate information when it's shown to them. Finally, remember that the SC is mentally lazy and has trouble concentrating on one idea at a time. Think of their mind like a computer with several applications open at once, each containing a project that's been started, but never finished. How do you get them to concentrate on one important thing at a time?
So, now that you know the characteristics you're dealing with when you have an SC prospect, here are two surefire ways to ensure a productive relationship:
1. Hold their hand: The SC is lazy on the details, so you should expect them to forget everything you tell them and everything you instructed them to do. Instead, explain concepts with pictures and graphical illustrations and give them samples to take home with them.
Before the second appointment, call them and remind them of what to bring, even if you went over this before in the first appointment. And most importantly, remind them of the commitments you agreed to in previous meetings — ideally refer to your notes and agreed upon course of action. Remember — they will forget.
2. Restate negative objections as positive requirements. When an SC raises an objection, it is often vague and difficult to address. For example, you might have an exchange like this:
SC: "I heard that annuities were a bad idea."
YOU: "Really? Interesting. Where did you hear that?"
SC: "I'm not sure. I've heard it a lot, though. What else do you have?"
YOU: "Well … what are you looking for?" SC: "I don't know. I'm just not looking for an annuity."
YOU: "What is it about the annuity you don't like?"
SC: "I don't want to tie up my money for 20 years."
YOU: "Ok, what else?"
SC: "Well, I want to make sure the money is safe."
YOU: "So what you're looking for is a much shorter time commitment with a reputable organization with a good track record to oversee your investment. Correct?" (Negative restated as positive requirement.)
SC: "Ummm … yeah. I guess so."
These techniques should result in better meetings and more commitments from this notoriously difficult personality type. As always, practice them, and give them a try next time you meet one.

The 2014 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is in the books and was another stirring success. This competition, the largest of its kind, judged a whopping 5,825 wines entered from 25 states, with over 1,500 winery brands represented. I was one of the 65 wine judges coming from media, wine educators, wine industry trade and various food/wine professionals. Held once again at the humble yet effective Citrus Fair complex in Cloverdale, (northern Sonoma County) the wines were flowing. I personally sampled some 520 wines blind - before it was over. That's a lot of tasting and spitting. Discovering the eventual winners is always a treat and full of surprises. Now the important public tasting event is happening this Saturday, February 15th at Ft. Mason, in San Francisco. See this website for further details. http://winejudging.com/
I know some people (and you know who you are) quibble about the efficacy of wine judging, I believe the process works very well. Despite personal differences and predilections, all experienced judges try their best to choose wines that are of the highest quality and - the cream really does rise to the top. The winning wine chosen by judges truly are the best of breed. Try them.
Okay, time for winners and my personal favorite wines from the competition.
First of all I have to comment on the 2014 Sweepstakes Winner in the White Wine category. Though many judge pooh pooh Chardonnay (been there done that, ABC, anything but Chardonnay etc.) the Baldacci Family Vineyards, 2012 Chardonnay, Carneros-Napa, Sorelle, $38.00 was the winning white wine. What a spectacular wine and one of the best, most luscious Chardonnays I've ever tasted. Not over the top, carefully crafted, fragrant nose, simply delicious and a true crowd pleaser. I'm very pleased to say that I was among the judges who voted for it during the Sweepstakes round. It is a great wine. http://www.baldaccivineyards.com/
I also chose the lovely Domaine Carneros Brut, and the tasty Ferrante Winery Vidal Blanc Ice Wine. From Ohio!
Here is the official list of 2014 Sweepstake Winners of the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition:
SPARKLING - tie
Domaine Carneros by Taittinger, 2009 Brut, Carneros, Domaine Carneros, $32.00
Korbel Champagne Cellars, NV Brut Rosé, California, $11.00
Baldacci Family Vineyards, 2012 Chardonnay, Carneros-Napa, Sorelle, $38.00
Barnard Griffin, 2013 Rose of Sangiovese, Columbia Valley, $12.00
RED -tie
3 Steves Winery, 2011 Zinfandel, Cienega Valley, $31.00
Calcareous Vineyard, 2010 Syrah, Paso Robles, $40.00
Ferrante Winery, 2012 Vidal Blanc Ice Wine, Grand River Valley, $28.99
Predator - 2012 Zinfandel – Lodi
Full Medals list here: www.winejudging.com/medal_winners.htm
Among for standout wines that I judged and tasted – I discovered many excellent wines including: the Sobon Estates Zinfandel, the Imagery Barbera, Castello de Amarosa's Cabernet, Helwig Red Blend and a blend from Alexandria & Nicole. The Cowboy Syrah was delightful as was the Syrah produced by Fieldstone Winery. I enjoyed a wonderful Pinot Noir from Savannah Channel, also the Sanford, William Knuttel and La Follete Pinots. Another standout was the Starmont Chardonnay, the Chardonnay from Fritz and the Chard produced by Krutz Family. Of course, there are so many others I have yet to try – and hope to sample on Saturday.
I'd like to give a shout out to Wilson Artisan Wineries who hosted a magnificent dinner for the judges at Soda Rock Winery. The event had fantastic food, wines (loved that Mazzocco) and entertainment. Soda Rock has come a long way and is a perfect stop in Alexander Valley.
Though this competition is huge, nobody does it better than Bob Fraser, Ray Johnson, Scot Fraser and Anne Vercelli. Along with a hearty legion of spirited volunteers, they all deserve credit for putting together a massive and successful undertaking. The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is always busy, fun, well run, has great people involved and always exhibits good humor amidst the bottles. And sometimes a flashing mirror ball too. Congratulations on another job well done.
The celebratory event this weekend at Ft. Mason should be a blast, as attendees will have the opportunity of sampling all the winning wines, plus many more. I will be there and look forward to meeting you all.

Someone broached the question to me during the game, in almost a disappointed tone. Fast food is supposed to be as integral as puppies, talking babies, celebrity endorsements, etc. to Superbowl marketing. So why didn't we see any? A legitimate question, though not quite fair to Subway. Subway bought in last minute to promote their chicken enchilada sub, as a number of other companies were pulling out their bids. It wasn't a spectacular commercial, but it was there, and personally made me want to check out the new sandwich.
Yet compare that lackluster effort to how many car and beer commercials appeared? That's not quite a fair comparison. Cars and beer have a healthy, historic marriage with football commercial time. Possible suggestions arise: that the fast food chains are already well known staples, so have no need to raise awareness, or that their profit margins run too slim to throw money into advertising. Both of these won't satisfy, however, because then companies like Coca Cola and Budweiser would have no reason to appear.
No easy answers here. No matter how you look at it, Superbowl advertising is a gamble, like high risk stocks. The upside could be tremendous, alternatively, you could just be out a lot of money. In the worst imaginable scenario, the company's commercial is received neither positively or negatively, and thus generates no response, no buzz, no controversy, and like Subway's pitch this year, is virtually forgotten. At around $4 million for 30 seconds, that's a tough financial pill to swallow.

Socializing (Taming) Feral Kittens
Kittens born to street cats, whether the mother is feral or domestic (friendly), are wild and need to be "socialized" (tamed) in order to be suitable for adoption. The process of socializing feral kittens requires a daily commitment of time over several weeks or months, depending on the age of the kittens and the amount and consistency of the time you spend working with them. The more time you spend on a daily basis, the shorter the process will be.
Kittens eight weeks of age and under are ideal for the socialization process. Kittens who are not socialized to human touch before eight weeks of age require much more time to complete the process. Socializing kittens twelve weeks of age and older requires months of daily effort, and it is not recommended.
If you cannot commit to working with the kittens on a daily basis, please leave them outside. Since you do not want them walking up to humans (some of whom might not respond well and harm the kittens), do not acclimate them to humans by engaging them in play or touching them. Get them neutered, left eartipped, and rabies vaccinated before they are old enough to breed (6 months). Semi-socialized cats and kittens rarely get adopted, are not taken in by shelters or rescue groups, and it is dangerous for them to be released into outdoor feral cat colonies.
Following are some tools to help you get started:

A federal judge in Kansas has refused to temporarily block a new state law requiring that abortion provider websites link to a state site with information the providers dispute.
But U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Vratil's ruling Sunday came after a state judge ruled Friday that Kansas couldn't enforce the same website requirement for now. The rule was to take effect Monday.
Vratil's decision came in a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood, which performs abortions at its Overland Park clinic. The other ruling came from Shawnee County District Judge Rebecca Crotty in a separate lawsuit from two other doctors.

The Detroit Red Wings improved to 5-0-0 on the young NHL season Friday night, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-2, to get off to their best start in nearly 40 years, when they started the 1972-73 season 6-0-0.
The Red Wings also turned their power play around, scoring three goals with the man advantage after scoring only once on their first nineteen power play chances to start the season.
Johan Franzen opened the game's scoring with one of those power play goals. Franzen sent the puck to the bottom of the right faceoff circle for Valtteri Filppula, who poked it back up for Franzen. From the faceoff dot, Franzen snapped a shot over Steve Mason's glove, past a screen by Danny Cleary at 9:03 of the first period.
With 5:39 remaining in the period, Franzen knocked a shot in from the side of the net. The puck bouced off defenseman Aaron Johnson to sneak past Mason, making it 2-0.
Derick Brassard made it 2-1 just 57 seconds later, left alone at the side of the net to lift the rebound of a Johnson shot over Detroit netminder Jimmy Howard.
Only 27 seconds into the second period, Pavel Datsyuk restored the two-goal lead. Ian White fired a long shot on net that Mason knocked aside, then Henrik Zetterberg couldn't score from the side of the net. Tomas Holmstrom swatted at the loose puck at the edge of the crease but it came back out to Datsyuk in the slot to fire past the scrambling Mason.
Johnson got the Blue Jackets back into it at 1:42 of the third period, left wide open in the slot to slap the puck past a screened Howard for a power play goal.
Nicklas Lidstrom scored just seconds after the expiration of a five-on-three to make it 4-2. Lidstrom's blast from the high slot deflected on its way through to get past Mason at 7:46 of the third.
Filppula added an empty net goal when he tapped in a chance from Franzen that was going wide.
Detroit's three power play markers came on five chances with the man advantage, including their one long five-on-three. Columbus' power play goal came on four tries with the extra man.
Howard made 32 saves on 34 shots against on the night. Mason stopped 28 of the 32 shots he faced.
The Red Wings meet the Washington Capitals in a battle of undefeated teams on Saturday night.
Notes: Patrick Eaves and Fabian Brunnstrom were the healthy scratches up front for Detroit... Brendan Smith was not called back to the Red Wings roster to serve another game of his NHL suspension. He remains with the Grand Rapids Griffins now that his AHL suspension is over.
The Red Wings - off since last Saturday - resume their OHL-like schedule with another set of weekend games. Tonight it's the Columbus Blue Jackets visiting Detroit and tomorrow the Wings are in Washington to face the Capitals.
Columbus is winless, suffering through injuries (Jeff Carter), suspensions (James Wisniewski) and indifference (averaging 11,394 fans in their four home games). The Wings are unbeaten (though they needed overtime to rally past the Minnesota Wild last week). With the similarly-undefeated Capitals up tomorrow, it's easy to see how tonight's matchup fits as a trap game.
Jimmy Howard gets the start against Steve Mason. Mike Commodore remains on STIR and will not play against his former team. With Brendan Smith's AHL suspension over, he's with the Griffins tonight rather than burning off a game of his NHL suspension with the Wings (he has two games of that remaining). Patrick Eaves and Fabian Brunnstrom are the healthy scratches.
On paper this should be an easy win however, as Clark mentioned, this has the making of a trap game. One of the keys to tonight's game will be to avoid overconfidence which triggers lazy play.
Ken and Mickey talking about "making up" for the off nights later in the season like it's a good thing.
Not sure what I think of that penalty on Homer. I feel like I've seen worse go uncalled but its a new NHL (again).
Brassard was the only one who didn't stop moving there. Everyone else got spun around when the initial shot came off the post.
Not sure what I think of that penalty on Homer. I feel like I've seen worse go uncalled but its a new NHL (again).
Agreed. I'm not sure what to think anymore.
White, then Zetterberg, then Holmstrom, then Datsyuk. Great job by the entire team to stay with the puck there.
If that was 'Moves Like Jagger' they were playing in the JLA I'm going to cry. They seriously play some of the sh*ttiest music ever.
Also that was a good fight, IMO.
Even if that wasn't Moves Like Jagger they still play ridiculous crap.
If that was 'Moves Like Jagger' they were playing in the JLA I'm going to cry. They seriously play some of the sh*ttiest music ever.
Which lets me break out my favorite quote about the music at the Joe, that it hasn't been updated "since Brendan Shanahan was traded to the team in 1996 and requested Republica's 'Ready to Go.'" Obviously not entirely true but the sentiment stands.

It's so true! And now that they have finally started to get newer music, they of course play the worst songs from the radio. I'll get back on topic now it's just infuriating. That or the Wings fans need to acquire some taste.
Wings let Columbus dictate the pace for most of the second. Need to come back with more jump in the third, can't let the Jackets get into it,.
Howard screened by his own man with no one covering the guy on the point. Ugly breakdown.
Laziness... Pure laziness.
REception on my 4G network sucks tonight. I'll make up for it as I'll be sitting behind the Red Wing box tomorrow in D.C.

Marvin Sease
Live With The Candy Licker
The long awaited live hits collection from legendary underground Soul/Bluesman Marvin Sease is finally here! Malaco has captured a collection of 15 classics that are packed full of the notoriously sexy flavor that drives Sease fans wild. This is one release that no real Southern Soul fan can resist.Read More
Track Listing:
- 1. Hittin' And Runnin'
- 2. Marvin's Testimony
- 3. Live My Life Again
- 4. I'm Mr. Jody
- 5. I Can't Believe
- 6. Sit Down On It
- 7. Stuck In The Middle
- 8. Double Crosser
- 9. Dreaming
- 10. I Ate The Whole Thing
- 11. Don't Forget To Tell On You
- 12. Hoochie Momma
- 13. Please Take Me
- 14. Candy Licker
Throughout his career, Marvin Sease has built a solid and steady fan base in spite of the lack of support from the traditional print sources and avenues of publicity in the Blues community. With a style that straddles the line between Blues and Soul, much like fellow singers Johnnie Taylor and Tyrone Davis but with a much racier feel, Sease has built a following particularly among female fans enamored by his signature song and breakthrough jukebox hit "Candy Licker." Released in 1987, this track was too explicit for radio but attracted a huge concert audience for him. Over the next ten years, Sease recorded a string of albums for Mercury and Jive that sold consistently well, although none have matched the performance of his self-titled album which hit #14 on Billboard's R&B Chart and #114 on the Pop chart.

DALLAS – For the second time this week, Mississippi State junior linebacker Benardrick McKinney has earned watch list recognition for a national individual award as the Bronko Nagurski Trophy unveiled its 81 candidates for the 2014 season, the Football Writers Association of America unveiled Thursday.
The Narguski Trophy has been awarded to the National Defensive Player of the Year every season since 1993.
McKinney, a native of Tunica, Miss., enters his junior campaign having started 23 consecutive games and tallying 173 career tackles. The 6-foot-5 McKinney was the Bulldogs leading tackler a season ago with 71 stops, including seven for loss. The All-America candidate was also named to the Bednarik Award watch list on Monday.
McKinney will join teammates Dak Prescott, Jay Hughes and coach Dan Mullen at Southeastern Conference Media Day next Tuesday in Hoover, Ala.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner will be chosen from five finalists who are part of the 2014 FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the association's entire membership, selects the 26-man All-America Team and eventually the Nagurski finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner.
For all-access information to MSU football, follow the team on social media at www.Facebook.com/HailStateFootball and www.Twitter.com/HailStateFB.

The 2010 College Football season is getting closer and closer. We've got an early look at the 2011 NFL Draft, courtesy of National Scouting.
1) Prince Amukamara/CB/Nebraska/7.3
New Era: While Amukamara is a great cornerback, hands-down the best in college, he may not be the best prospect on his own team (DT Jared Crick may hold that honor). We like Amukamara, but this pre-season ranking is too high. We currently have him at #11.
2) Adrian Clayborn/DE/Iowa/7.3
New Era: There is a lot to like about Clayborn, and we could see him being the 1st pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He is a prototypical end, able to play in the 3-4 or 4-3. His talent and drive are unquestioned.
3) Mark Herzlich/OLB/Boston College/7.2
New Era: A great player, but his health is scary. Herzlich missed the '09 season recovering from cancer, and while all reports are that he's completely healthy, we are taking a wait-and-see approach here. During the '08 season Herzlich was dominating, and if he returns to form his stock will rise this high.
4) Allen Bailey/DL/Miami-Fl/6.9
New Era: We like Bailey, but there are tackles that we like better. Bailey fits the 3-4 defense as an end with great size and speed. He is a throwback to the vintage "U" defensive lineman, and a definite top 10 pick.
5) Von Miller/OLB/Texas A&M/6.9
New Era: A pure pass rusher, Miller will shoot up draft boards. While talented, we do not feel he warrants a top 5 slot. A dominating senior season, and improved technique and hand use, could push Miller up the board. Pass rushers are always needed in the NFL, so do not be surprised to see him over-drafted.
6) Greg Romeus/DE/Pittbugh/6.8
New Era: Our #5 overall player, Romeus looks like a sure-thing at right end. He has the ideal size, strength and speed to really entice general managers and coaches. He has dominated the Big East as of late and is a preseason candidate for the Lott Troy, Lombardi Award and Nagurski Trophy.
7) Marvin Austin/DT/North Carolina/6.7
New Era: If it is possible for a top 10 player to be overlooked, Marvin Austin is just that. Austin is currently our #3 overall player. Our reasoning: He fits in every defense, can penetrate or stop the run, and has a motor that never stops. Austin is a serious candidate for the #1 overall slot in the 2011 draft.
8 ) Christian Ponder/QB/Florida State/6.7
New Era: Surprised? You should be. Ponder is a late-first round player to us, but the boys at National saw something they liked. In our defense, they really liked Chris Rix too. Ponder has impressive tools, but he's too inconsistent for us. Maybe his senior season will be Carson Palmer-esque, but we cannot see him as a top 10 pick.
9) Jake Locker/QB/Washington/6.7
New Era: And here is our #1 player, way down at #9 for National. We love Locker's athleticism, his moxie and his leadership ability. We also love that he has a rocket for an arm, very good short-to-mid accuracy and can stretch the field vertically. Throw in his 4.5 speed and ability to make plays with his feet and Locker looks like your #1 pick in the 2011 class.
10) Stephen Paea/DT/Oregon State/6.5
New Era: A little short and a little light (6'1, 288), but Paea has us intrigued. He sits currently at #7 overall, mostly because our belief that he can gain weight. NFL teams will love his ability as a one-gap penetrator, so look for a Cover 2 team to covet his ability early in round one.

Carlos happy to play part
by Kate Smith
Cuellar enjoyed run-out in Denmark.
Defender Carlos Cuellar was happy to be involved in Sunderland's win over Danish side FC Midtjylland.
The Spaniard played the full 90 minutes of the Black Cats' final pre-season game ahead of the 2013-14 campaign and was pleased to see the team secure the victory over the high-flying Superliga side.
The game at the MCH Arena was Cuellar's first run-out during the pre-season programme and the 31 year-old revealed he was satisfied to finally put all of the hard work done in training into practice on the pitch.
Cuellar told safc.com: "For me, I'm happy to play for 90 minutes and get the chance to play.
"Pre-season has been tough; we have done lots of work on our fitness and we have had games in Italy and Hong Kong.
"It was nice to be involved in Denmark, but overall it was good for the team to get the victory and to keep a clean sheet.
"We knew what to expect from FC Midtjylland as we'd done our homework and watched DVDs of their Superliga games.
"We went there wanting to win and get a result and we did it in good fashion by scoring a goal and keeping a clean sheet.
"It's a great way to end pre-season, with a good result over a good team."

If you go to the quest in your quest log by pressing L, normally in the description it should say "Show map". Click it and then look if it's showing on your world map. If not, I do not know the solution for this.

Beginning at the beginning--AGAIN!
Thursday, February 14, 2008
well, this has been quite an eye opener for me. where to begin?
I feel as though I need to get my thoughts down and really "own" them, instead of burying them. so here goes:
I discovered SparkPeople about a year ago, and told lots of people about it. had just joined a new gym for the first time in a few years, and was psyched to be on the journey. tried not to get discouraged when the scale seemed to barely budge even though I was tracking my (balanced, healthy) diet and working out. then the trainer at the gym put me on an eating plan and I stopped logging in at SP. hurt my shoulder and tried to deal with that setback -- couldn't follow my workout routine as before due to doctor's "rest" orders, but I still persevered. then at some point, I feel I really lost my way, and began reading up on a lot of different eating programs. [nutrition is a hobby, almost my major way back in college] all the different "theories" of nutrition overwhelms me--low calories, low carb, whole foods, high fat, etc.--and I literally jumped from one eating plan to another to another looking for the RIGHT one. of course, I would still get emails from SP but at this point I was no longer logging in or reading articles, etc. then the other day I decided to weigh myself and start fresh. I looked at my SP goals, and realized that it had been almost a whole year since I began, and I easily could have been ENJOYING life at my goal, but instead had barely improved from my original starting point. So I hopped on the scale expecting it to read 152 (like the last time I checked it) but it was 156.5 lbs. YIKES! Now I was feeling dejected, beating myself up for my foolish behaviors--and promptly ate my way through the day. :-(
so then I decided to read some success stories, and I found some encouragement in other people's journeys. I really thought
if lots of other people could be successful, even with different approaches, then I needed to dig deep and remember what worked for me in the past, face my demons and start again!
I'm hoping to find some support here. my husband means well, but isn't always helpful. I need to be accountable to someone. and I'll take any encouragement people are willing to give me. I don't want to be this tired, unhealthy, unattractive, undisciplined anymore.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of thick maximum intensity projections (MIP) from computed tomography (CT) data sets mimicking projection images from biplane ventriculography for evaluation of left ventricular (LV) parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-eight patients underwent 64-slice CT. Multiphase images were reconstructed in 10% steps of the RR interval. MIP images (70-mm thickness) of the contrast-enhanced LV in fixed 30 degrees right anterior oblique (RAO)/60 degrees left anterior oblique (LAO) and in adapted short-/long-axis planes were reconstructed. LV parameters were calculated using the area-length method formula. Three-dimensional assessment with semiautomated software served as reference standard. RESULTS: Use of thick MIP reconstructions had a high intermethod reliability (86-94%) compared with the 3-dimensional approach. Smaller measurement errors were found for thick MIP reconstructions in adapted short-/long-axis planes. A significant projection error (3.0%, P < 0.001) of thick MIP reconstructions was found using fixed 30 degrees RAO/60 degrees LAO compared with adapted short-/long-axis reconstructions. CONCLUSION: Thick MIP reconstructions with adapted short-/long-axis planes allow an accurate assessment of LV parameters compared with the established 3-dimensional method.

Fans have been watching "Lindsay" on the OWN network for eight weeks now. The final episode aired last night and what Lindsay Lohan had to say during the reflection portion shocked fans. The docu-series followed Lohan around while she was finding a place to live, trying to get her career revived, and dealing with sobriety. According to an April 20 report from TMZ, Lindsay Lohan revealed she had a miscarriage while filming the show, which is why she was having a difficult time shooting during a two week span. Fans are stunned after hearing the news from Lohan.
Lindsay Lohan did not elaborate on the miscarriage when talking about in on "Lindsay." Speculations have been swirling about who the father could be since he was not named by Lohan. There are several critics out there calling Lohan's bluff, and many believe this was just another one of her excuses for blowing off work. While it isn't entirely impossible, it seems unlikely that this was just a story made up to save face.
The Twitter feed for Lindsay Lohan has a lot of chatter about the finale of "Lindsay." Most of it is focused on the announcement of Lohan's miscarriage. There are people that are supportive of the grief suffered, while others are bashing her way of telling the world. If this was what really happened to Lohan while filming, the crew definitely could have cut her a break without making her look bad in the process.
There is no word on where Lindsay Lohan is headed next. The docu-series is over and there are no plans to do any more filming for the OWN network. Fans are hoping that Lohan will continue on the path to sobriety and be able to reboot her career in the near future. It took a lot of courage to talk about the miscarriage, especially because it is such a painful thing to endure.

Taking the following issues in the count, what would be the descending order from greatest to least of bottlenecks in a computer system?
- Network I/O
- Disk I/O
- Graphics I/O
- Processing I/O
I'm often explaining the concept of what can make a machine appear slow, and I'd like to get a good idea of what's mostly the greatest to lowest bottlenecks in a system. Considering an average computer which has a decent 7200RPM hard disk, an average 500 kilobytes per second up/down network connection, average speed RAM, a dual-core 2GHz processor, and a fairly cheap video card, what'd be the order of my list above? I'd assume it'd be the way I wrote it, but I'd like to be sure.
What are the greatest and least causes for bottlenecks in hardware and I/O?

Doctor Treating Ebola Patients In Sierra Leone Succumbs To The Disease
Doctor Treating Ebola Patients In Sierra Leone Succumbs To The Disease
Sheik Humarr Khan, one of the doctors fighting to control West Africa's largest Ebola outbreak, died Tuesday in Sierra Leone. He was 39.
Doctors in West Africa have been fighting to control the largest outbreak of Ebola virus in history. One of those doctors, Sheik Humarr Khan, died of the disease yesterday in Sierra Leone.
Khan was something of a hero in Sierra Leone. He contracted the disease last week while overseeing treatment at a hospital there. Indeed health workers are especially vulnerable to contracting Ebola; it spreads through bodily fluids including sweat and saliva.
WERTHEIMER: The U.N. has confirmed over 1200 Ebola cases in this outbreak, there is no vaccine. 60 percent of those infected die.
MONTAGNE: A major regional airline in West Africa suspended flights yesterday to Sierra Leone and Liberia. Passengers departing from Guinea, the third country where people have died from Ebola, will be screened for symptoms.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Medical Errors Issue Hits Capitol Hill
Dec. 13, 1999 (Washington) -- A mandatory national reporting system for serious medical errors is crucial, Sen. Arlen Specter (R, Pa.) said at a hearing Monday, backing a recent recommendation from a national panel of experts.
Although the American Medical Association (AMA) and American Hospital Association (AHA) raised red flags at the idea, individuals who were victimized by medical mistakes supported the move.
Specter's hearing had unusual timing -- Congress is in recess until January -- but the issue of medical errors has swept into the center of national news. Specter is chair of the Senate appropriations panel for federal health care agencies.
Earlier this month, the respected Institute of Medicine released a report that attributed as many as 98,000 deaths each year -- and at least $8.8 billion in health care costs -- to preventable medical mistakes. The institute urged that reports be required after errors that cause serious injury or death.
"There's going to have to be mandatory reporting," Specter tells WebMD, although he acknowledges that the nature and extent of reporting are a key question. "We're in very deep water on this," he said, noting that many health professionals believe that reporting requirements may chill their willingness to provide high-risk care.
Mary Wakefield, PhD, testifying for the institute, said that mandatory reports would be "extremely important" to ensure accountability among doctors, other providers, and institutions. She said that requirements should have confidentiality safeguards for those reporting.
Specter said he was interested in legislating on medical errors next year. His panel has powers in this regard; the institute called for a new federal center to set and track patient safety goals. Sens. James Jeffords (R, Ver.) and Edward Kennedy (D, Mass.) are also planning to unveil legislation through a separate committee.
It was a tough hearing for the health industry, as three patients told emotional stories of botched procedures that left them bitter at the system. "The foxes are allowed to guard the henhouse," complained Ray McEachern. His wife has a paralyzed left arm and leg and is on permanent medication after a resident performed an flawed angiogram that resulted in tubes becoming tangled inside her body.

The "Keep Wade" campaign begins; Jacques pulls a shocker
This didn't take long.
There's a Facebook campaign to convince Dwyane Wade to stay in Miami.
Here it is, if you want to join.
Maybe fans should start a campaign to convince Joe Johnson to join him here. I think they can play together (Johnson as a small 3, sliding to 2 when Wade slides to point guard). And if the Hawks lose this series to the Bucks (without Bogut), Johnson certainly could look elsewhere.
And this has to burn Panthers fans.
Jacques Martin, who accomplished next to nothing with South Florida's most beleaguered franchise, goes to Montreal to coach, sneaks into the playoffs as an eighth seed, falls behind 3-1 to the league's best team, and then sees him team sweep the next three to bounce Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.
Next thing you know, Kamil Kreps will be traded to Ottawa and score 40 goals.

Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for fifteen years, is about to receive five new visitors. Gordon Fleming, the man who owns and operates the Hazmat Elimination Co, badly needs to win a contract to remove asbestos from the hospital. To seal the deal, Gordon unwisely promises that he and his crew can complete the massive job in only one week. Hazmat gets the gig and the following Monday their dangerous work begins. As the workweek continues, the crew is drawn deeper into the mysteries that surround the asylum: rampant patient abuse, medieval medical procedures, and rumors of demonic possession. The hospital holds many dark secrets but then, so do each of the men. The longer they struggle under the grueling pressure of their job, the more likely it seems that one of them will crack. The question is, which one will it be?

Strange Tweets Haunt Syfy Series
Twitter is branching out somewhere new – television drama.
The microblogging service is set to play a key role in "Haven," a Syfy Channel series that explores the eerie goings-on in a small town in Maine. In a story arc starting this Friday, two of the show's characters join Twitter as part of a game to see who can attract the most followers. As you might guess in a Stephen King-inspired series, strange Tweets appear–Tweets that eventually help drive the plot for the next seven episodes.
What's more, Twitter-savvy viewers have the opportunity to follow along, with viewers on the East Coast, where it airs first, having the added advantage of following the Tweets in near real-time. Audience members can visit the Twitter feeds of the individual characters (@VinceHaven, @DaveHaven) or go to syfy.com/haven. But it isn't necessary to look at Twitter to follow the show's plot.
According to Craig Engler, Senior Vice President at Syfy Digital, "Haven" marks the first time that Twitter is actually integrated into the storyline of a television series. There will be points in the show where viewers will feel prompted to go to one of the character's Twitter feeds to catch what just happened. Other times, Tweets will appear as background plot-drivers. The challenge, Engler says, is to make Twitter involvement organic to the plot.
Besides generating buzz (as in this post) and injecting some interesting storytelling possibilities, Syfy is hoping that the addition of Twitter provides viewers with a reason to watch the story in real-time, deepening viewer ties to the series in the process.
Syfy is not the first to tap into the "water cooler effect" of tying its social media efforts with real-time programming.
A recent Forrester study shows that 48% of U.S. online consumers use a personal computer while watching TV. Many programs have taken advantage of their viewers' desire to participate in an online community. Shows such as Fox's "Glee" advertise Twitter hashtags on the TV screen and, according to Forrester, have seen social activity jump by as much as 3,000% while episodes air. Meanwhile CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and one-time televised events such as the Royal Wedding have made an effort to post tweets from viewers on air.
Robin Sloan, Twitter's media partnership manager, told Digits that the way Syfy uses Twitter breaks new ground. While past shows may have featured a joke about Twitter or a character who uses Twitter, the social network was "never core." In the case of "Haven," Sloan says, "If you took Twitter away from the plot, you would feel that something is missing."
Sloan was initially contacted by Haven's producers about their Twitter plotline. His advice: don't focus on the "twitterness," or the fact that the characters are using Twitter. "Fundamentally, what matters is the content itself," Sloan said.
But that doesn't mean that Syfy is ignoring the community aspect of Twitter. Engler said that there will be room for some "ad hoc stuff" in the Twitter-sphere allowing for viewers to communicate with the characters. "The writers are committed to having it real and legitimate and in voice of characters," he said.
A Syfy spokeswoman says that in the two weeks for which they have full Live + 7 DVR data, "Haven" has averaged a 1.9 household rating and 2,572,000 total viewers.
