The Minnesota Wild have dominant at home. Friday they improved to 5-0 in the playoffs at the Xcel Energy Center with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 4 of their second round Stanley Cup playoff series.
"The fans are incredible," Nino Niederreiter said. "It just feels great when we go back home and know the crowd is standing behind us. Just great feeling to know we have that."
After completely dominating the Colorado Avalanche in Games 3 and 4 in the opening round, the Wild have beaten the Blackhawks the way they wanted to play. In Game 3, it looked like they wanted to slow the game down and grind it out. The Wild won 4-0. Then in Game 4, they looked like they wanted to open it up more. The Wild won by two goals. Neither contest really seemed in doubt.
"That shows a lot of character from our team - the way we have to play," Niederreiter said. "We know how we cam beat those guys. We have to make sure we play the same as we play at home on the road as well. That is going to be a big challenge for us."
Niederreiter broke a 2-2 tie seven minutes and 12 seconds into the second period for a game-winning goal. He received the pass off a little re-direction by Charlie Coyle at the offensive blue line. The re-direction gave him space to rip a wrist shot past the glove of Crawford.
"It was a great play by (Coyle) to give the puck in the neutral zone," Niederreiter said. "He layer it perfectly to me and I had to get that goal."
The Blackhawks (2-2) were able to erase two one-goal deficits, including a bad angle shot by Patrick Sharp that snuck through Ilya Bryzgalov within the final minute of the opening period.
The Wild (2-2) got on the board first when Justin Fontaine found a little space under the cross bar and over Crawford's shoulder from the bottom of the circles. His shot came through a screen and into a tight area for his first career playoff goal. Matt Cooke started the play by knocking down a clearing attempt by a Blackhawk defenseman.
Jason Pominville gave the Wild their second lead of the game at the 3:51 mark of the second by throwing a puck off Crawford's skate and in from behind the net.
Jared Spurgeon capped the scoring with a power play tally three minutes and 47 seconds into the third period. Spurgeon was wide open on the backdoor with a wide open net following a cross-ice pass from Mikko Koivu.
Both teams will resume their second Stanley Cup playoff series Sunday at the United Center for Game 5.

Neuropathologists use anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibodies as specific markers for glial cells, and neurobiologists use GFAP for targeting transgenes to glial cells. Since GFAP has also been detected in non-glial cells, we systematically analyzed GFAP expression in human and murine non-CNS tissues using a panel of anti-GFAP antibodies. In human tissues we confirm previously observed GFAP expression in Schwann cells, myoepithelial cells, and chondrocytes, and show for the first time GFAP expression in fibroblasts of epiglottic and auricular perichondrium, ligamentum flavum, and cardiac valves. In mice we show GFAP expression in Schwann cells, bone marrow stromal cells, chondrocytes, and in fibroblasts of dura mater, skull and spinal perichondrium, and periosteum, connective stroma of oral cavity, dental pulp, and cardiac valves. Anti-GFAP immunoblotting of human non-CNS tissues reveals protein bands with a molecular mass ranging between approximately 35 and approximately 42 kDa. In GFAP-v-src transgenic mice, whose oncogenic v-src transgene transforms GFAP expressing cells, non-CNS tumors originate from fibroblasts. We conclude that human and murine fibroblasts can express GFAP in vivo. The somatic distribution of GFAP expressing fibroblasts indicates origin from the neural crest. Development of non-CNS tumors from fibroblasts in GFAP-v-src mice functionally confirms GFAP expression in these cells.

Charles, Ninth Earl Spencer, visited Royal Oak's Scott Shuptrine Interiors yesterday for afternoon tea and a discussion of the Althorp Living History furniture collection. Inspired by the childhood home of Lord Spencer and his sister, the late Princess Diana, the collection is based on more than 500 years of living history from the family's manor home in Northampton, approximately seventy-five miles northwest of London.
In an exclusive interview with The Examiner, Lord Spencer met with us yesterday to talk about the Althorp collection and tea. Tall in stature, and in full possession of patrician grace, he spoke with charm and humor, easily transitioning from speaking to a roomful of guests to chatting one-on-one.
Seated at upholstered chairs alongside one of the elegant desks from the Althorp collection, we began our conversation with tea. Lord Spencer's favorite is Japanese Green tea. When asked which room at Althorp is his favorite spot for tea, he didn't hesitate to respond. "The library - it is a grand room and it's where the family gathers."
A friend of Julian Fellows, creator of the Downton Abbey series, Lord Spencer said he doesn't watch the popular television period drama. "I'm probably the only one," he says with a quick smile. He admits to watching the end of season three which he found "terribly sad."
The Althorp estate, like the real Downton Abbey home of Highclere Castle, was featured on PBS' "Secret of Manor House Series". In "Secrets of Althorp", Lord Spencer shares memories of visiting the estate as a child and, now, as current resident-in-charge, provides a description of many of the paintings and other collector items in the home, including a chocolate/tea set once owned by Marie Antoinette.
Asked if the family uses the set, Lord Spencer says no. "I'm not sure if the scale came across on the show but it's very small. It's delicate – deliciously delicate."
One of the pieces of special interest to tea enthusiasts from the Althorp collection is the "crested caddy". Made with rosewood crossbanding, the tea storage box is a detailed reproduction of the original George III (circa 1790) piece, complete with lock and tassel-bearing key. At the time of the original's construction, tea was expensive and literally kept under lock and key to keep it safe from the servants who may have been tempted to pilfer the contents for profit.
The Althorp crested cady gets its name from the embellished Spencer family crest on the top of the box. There is a gold crown over a Griffen. "We had it long before Harry Potter stole it from us", the Lord Spencer says with a laugh.
Good looks, charm, and grace combined with a deep respect of history, the Althorp furniture collection is equal to Charles, Ninth Earl of Spencer himself.
All proceeds of the sales of the Althorp furniture collection go the upkeep of the Althorp Manor. See the Althorp Living History furniture collection at Scott Shuptrine website or the Althorp Manor website for more information.

Change of heart
concerned mom
I like Averie. It's different. You may also like Aubrey (Audrey, except w/ a b). Personally speaking, I wld base my decision on how the name sounds w/ your last name. If you have a long last name, I think Audrey or Aubrey wld flow best. If your last name is short, Averie may sound better. Other considerations: Origin of name, meaning, possible nicknames.
Hope this helps. Overall, congrats, and good luck w/ the baby!

The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event took place at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington from April 24-27. The event began with the dressage phase held over two days. On Saturday the cross-country endurance test took place and on Sunday the show jumping decided the final winners.
Each day riders took turns claiming first place but when the final rider in show jumping negotiated the course it was William Fox-Pitt who earned the coveted title with his horse Bay My Hero. In second was Lauren Kieffer on Veronica. Third place went to Buck Davidson riding Ballynoe Castle RM. Fourth was Sinead Halpin riding Manoir De Carneville.
In fifth was Marilyn Little on RF Smoke on the Water. Sadly shortly after returning home from Rolex Smoke got cast in his stall and in his attempt to free himself his injuries ultimately forced him to be put down. It was a sad ending on such a short lived but successful career.
For more information go to www.rk3de.com.

Nov. 11, 1999
Game Data: Tulane (12-14, 6-10 C-USA in 1998-99) closes the 1999-2000 campaign tonight against Vasda Gold, the second of two exhibition games on the schedule. Vasda Gold is a collection of former U.S. college players. They are 1-4 on their current collegiate tour. Last season, Tulane was 2-0 in exhibitions. Tonight?s officials are Rick Randall, Bobby Bissant and Jeff Tate.
Tulane Head Coach Perry Clark: Perry Clark is in his 11th year as the Green Wave head coach with a record of 165-134 (.552). Clark has guided Tulane to five 20-win seasons, six postseason appearances (3 NCAA, 3 NIT) and the Metro Conference championship in 1992. He was the 1992 National Coach of the Year and a two time Metro Conference Coach of the Year (1991, 1992). Only one other coach in school history has more wins or a longer tenure. He is assisted by Anthony Anderson, Greg Gary and Brock Kantrow.
What?s Returning: Led by All-Louisiana selection Ledaryl Billingsley, eight lettermen return for the 1999-2000 season. Billingsley averaged 11.0 points and 6.8 points a year ago, including 14.1 points and 9.1 rebounds over the last half of the year. On the whole, 75.2 percent of the points, 78.1 percent of the rebounds and 81.9 percent of the assists return from last season, including four starters.
What?s New: Three newcomers join the Green Wave roster, including forward Trello Galloway, a 6-foot-7 freshman from Myrtle Beach, S.C., averaged 14.0 points and 10.0 rebounds last year at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy. Brandon Spann, a 6-foot-1 freshman from New Orleans, averaged 21.9 points at Jesuit High School. Kerwin Jones, a freshman from Patterson, La., will join the club after the football season.
Last Time Out: The Green Wave erased an eight-point deficit in the last four minutes of regulation to send the game to overtime, but could not sustain the momentum in an 84-77 defeat to the Global Sports All-Stars last Sunday. The Wave, who shot just 36.8 percent for the game used an 11-3 run over the last 4:06 to tie the contest. Morris Jordan led Tulane with 20 points, while Ledaryl Billingsley added a game-high nine rebounds.
Scouting Report: Through four games on its current tour, Vasda Gold has an 1-4 record with loses to Memphis (101-53), Louisiana Tech (87-76), Southern (104-70), Southern Miss (81-54) and a win Thursday over Nicholls State (73-72).

* - Preseason Player of the Year
A New Home: In this, the 90th year of Tulane basketball, the Green Wave will christen a new home. Tulane will play six games in the state-of-the-art New Orleans Arena (17,832). When the Wave hosts Fordham in the season opener as part of the Preseason NIT on Nov. 17, it will mark a new era of Green Wave basketball. The New Orleans Arena is just the third home of Tulane basketball since 1933, joining Fogelman Arena and the Louisiana Superdome. Incidentally, Tulane has an all-time record of 478-237 (.669) in Fogelman Arena. That mark improves to 106-40 (.726) under Clark.
Behind the Numbers: No single number was a greater predictor of Tulane success last season than 80. When the Green Wave scored at least 80 points, the team was a spotless 7-0. Tulane was 9-2 when outshooting the opposition, 7-3 when outrebounding them, and 7-2 when ahead at halftime.
Up Next:
The regular season begins Nov. 17 against Fordham in the Preseason NIT. Tipoff in the New Orleans Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m.

#RIPZaynMalik Started Trending By Fans Of The Wanted
Has this whole war between One Direction and The Wanted gone too far now?
Yesterday #RIPZaynMalik became a worldwide trending topic after fans of The Wanted started the hashtag and tried to get it trending.
They succeeded in doing so, and it wasn't long before it could be seen worldwide, prompting millions of Directioners to wonder just what the hell was going on.
Was Zayn Malik really dead?
Of course not, but it was a very sick joke.
The bitter war between both bands goes back to last year, and was re-ignited only this week by our very own Louis Tomlinson having a sly dig at the band by saying 'Walks Like Rihanna' was one of his favourite songs.
Directioners weren't too happy at seeing their very own Bradford-bad-boy be the victim of a Twitter death hoax, so they decided to get one back, and so they started #RIPMaxGeorge trending.
Again it wasn't too long before that started trending worldwide, with both hashtags being visible by everone on Twitter.
Here at One Direction News we can confirm that neither Zayn or Max are dead.
Just in case you were wondering.
Sometimes it's all a bit of banter between both bands, but other times it can go a little too far.
Other famous celebrities to be killed off by Twitter include Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Eddie Murphy, Rihanna and Megan Fox.

pfft whats your point? oh you cant spell? thats pretty obvious.

WTF?!?!?! You stupid a** b**** you just made a stupid a** mistake! Nobody says that about One Direction (1D) Niall , Louis , Liam , Harry , and Zayn! STFU! Get off the 1D sight and get a f****** dictionary because you can't spell worth a s***!

OMGOSH 100% I hate the wanted soo much I know there was a rivalry between us but there is no need at all to do this to our amazayn zayn and I am soo glad that we started to trend #RIPMaxGeorge because I saw wish the wanted was dead so they cannot bully are boys #1DRule #TheWantedSuck
- ❤Tootsieroll1D ❤
hey, as much as I hate the wanted, I can't say I want them dead. I feel dumb for kinda standing up for them, but what we did was wrong too. as much as we hate them, wishing them dead is a bit too far.
- Riel Whittle
I agree :3 an hey it's not dumb to stand up for them- stand up for what's right! And good! And true!

TW Fans are very silly, It was a stupid topic to trend. I was shocked when I saw that was trending yesterday. But thenDirectioners said that it actually means RIP=Really Inspiring person. Our Fandom is Amazing and Theirs is a total disaster.

Haha I laughed at the part RIP cause I didn't know it ment really inspiring person:) I don't know it scared me when the first part of the title of the story

YOU deserve my like
- FabulousNails
No one should trend RIP messages like that, it's bad for both fanbases IMO. No idea who started it, I wasn't there, but joining in is plain wrong!
Also: as usual, people complaining about the #RIP trends helped trend them because they quoted them. Ignoring them is much more efficient to make them go away fast IMO.
- Rylee Burgess
OH MY GOD I am so fed up with this stupid fued. The wanted need to get over the fact that one direction are a better band then what they are. This really needs to stop. #RIPZaynmalik is just total rubbish. lEAVE OUR BOYS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!
- Begum Hashimah
Woah. This has just gone to a new extreme. Why in the world are they instigating us!? Do they really want to fight the biggest fandom ever? Stupid. Directioners are the biggest fandom. Some just want a hi-5 in the face with a freaking wooden table.

He got into the fight , too. But I don't why did choose him specifically!?!!

I understand that what the TW Family did was wrong but why do we directioners have to sink down to their level and say #RIPMaxGeorge ????? Just sayin this whole stupid fight started with tw because they are a bunch of cunts that are jealous of 1D and their success.

TW fans are just trying to be half as cool as us directioners!
They are just trying too hard and they don't realize that we have the best fandom in the world and we won't let them say anything about the boys xx
One direction 4 everrrrr <3
- AniaR
I don't even like The Wanted that much, but their fans didn't start anything! BBC News reported yesterday that Zayn died as a joke (not funny), so that's why it was trending! Some updated account decided to accuse TW fans and trend #RIPMaxGeorge, but if you look through the tag #RIPZaynMalik there are none messages from The Wanted fans. It's like that time when some Directioners attacked Liam at the airport back in December, and people tried to blame The Wanted fans too. Some Directioners just like to cause unnecessary drama.
- Megan Payne <3
Ok so hearing that means that TW fans didn't even do anything, which makes what our fandom did so much worse. That was so mean and cruel of BBC News though! And about the airport, if they attacked Liam they are not called Directioners. Directioners wouldn't hurt him.
- Howis1D
I really think they should have some theraoy sessions or something since they are so obsessed with givin'g us a hard time -.-

This is almost as bad as how the rushers were planning an attack to emotionally hurt the boys (no hate to any rushers/directioners) but this was just too far. The wanted fans are odd in the way they think that we would believe this. Some people did, but thats fine cuz they were worried about Zayn. No hate, to any directioner thats a rusher or in TWF though

Oo and please , please , please get a dictionary because you can't spell either!
- ChocoTaco
Why did The Wanted fans even do that? That was stupid and childish. Hopefully they realize that now, just stupid
- Jamilynn Flores
This fandom just keeps on falling apart. Look to where we are lowering ourselves. You doing the same immature thing TW fandom did. Is that really mature? No, it's not. So please stop blaming the TW fandom because its our faults too. We can't keep on acting like we're always right and the victims cause we're not. That's why I'm so disappointed in this fandom. We just aren't the same anymore.
- Megan Payne <3
Preach it! My friend and I feel the same way
- FabulousNails
Agreed! But don't lose hope, not everyone thinks it's OK to handle things the were they were handled…
- Jamilynn Flores
I'm trying not to lose hope..but only a few fans are sane nowadays
- Megan Payne <3
That was so stupid and immature of them! I'm glad us Directioners told them RIP=Really Inspiring Person But I'm dissapointed that we started trending #RIPMaxGeorge, I mean don't get me wrong I hate TW, but when we did that we just stooped to their stupid immature levels, making us seem no better than TW fans.
- FabulousNails
I agree, however that started (stories vary depending where they originate from), trending #RIPMaxGeorge should not be seen as the appropriate answer!

Why the hell would directioners start trending #RIPMaxGeorge?!?! I thought us directioners were better than that!!! It breaks my heart that they would say #RIPZaynMalik but I also like the wanted and it pisses me off that us directioners would say that about Max!!! Everyone just needs to grow the hell up!!! Instead of trending RIP TW we should start trending #I'm sorry to them and their fans!!! I know they started it but One D trying to get them back isn't helping either!!!!!! I care about One D and the wanted very much and I don't want it to be like this!!! I wish we could be sisters with wanted fans and that the 2 bands could be brothers if we want peace then us directioners need to be the bigger people and start it!!!!!!! #stopthehate
- ❤Tootsieroll1D ❤
totally agree. starting that trend was stupid. if everyone would just GROW THE HELL UP we wouldn't have this problem.

- hollie
Hey, i'm not trying to be a hater or anything!!!! I'm just trying to say that I love One direction and that I like the wanted and I just want the two bands and their fanbases to be friends!!!! After I posted this comment I read another article that said that BBC news started trending #RipZaynMalik as a joke and we thought it was you guys! I don't have a Twitter so it wasn't me trending #RipMaxGeorge, but I would never do that anyway!!!!!!! I'm sorry I got false information, and i'm sorry my comment offended you. If you want to hate on one d I suggest u do that on a different website btw. #NoHardFeelings #SorryNotSorry 😛

First of all, BOTH fandoms are sick and rude. The Wanted fans are horrible for starting #RIPZaynMalik and the One Direction fans are equally horrible for starting the #RIPMaxGeorge. Seriously, we should've been the bigger people and not do anything about it. Let TW fans be nasty and rude. Not us. I love 1D with all my heart but not some people of this fandom.
- Ania Lynn Prather

Ok now this has gone too far already, it is not even funny to say that someone is dead especially someone who we love like Zayn…TW fans are just immature and silly for trying to get attention…sad to also say i can't believe us Directioners would trend that either…but glad Zayn ISN'T dead ^_^ it was funny when Directioners said RIP means really inspiring person which probably left TW fans feeling dumb lol

The wanted and their fans need to wise up , they will NEVER be as amazing and successful as the one d boys , everyone knows that and deep down the wanted know that too. #thewantedneedtopipedown

I think the feuds between the two bands can get way out of hand. Both the wanted and one direction have some things in common and I don't see why the hate has gone on for so long. I'm a die hard directioner but I'm going to the wanteds concert next month with my friend who is a huge fan of the wanted. The bands feud has messed up our friendship a little in the past but we are over it and can see some good even in our rival band.
- Emmy
Death isn't something to joke about.

They have fans? This just gets better and better. Aha they suck. #ZaynIsMoreOfAManThenTheWantedWillEverBe

- http://styles-sexuall.tumblr.com/ Shey
Both The Wanted and One Direction fans need to stop being disrespectful by trending these rude hashtags, seriously though, what is wrong with all of you? The feud between the bands have nothing to do with the fans. Trending a death is not okay, especially because you think you love someone. These fandoms are getting worse and worse, it's embarrassing to say i'm a fan of BOTH bands when their fans act like this. These prepubescent fans need to stop being idiots and start thinking and acting with their right mind. Also, it's time that The wanted fans stop acting mature when they do trend things of this nature. Everyone needs to grow up.

I'm done! I hate "The Wanted" and I don't care what you think about me using the word "Hate" I actually don't hate anything but its official I simply hate , hate , hate "The Wanted" and I'm sick and tired of they're stupid a** fans! Directioners including myself please , please , please don't start that stupid a** #RIPMaxGeorge trend because that's going to make One Direction (1D) and Directioners like myself look bad! Go ahead and hate "The Wanted" because I do but don't start those trends because that's just making everything worse for 1D and Directioners!

Built in 1971, by Main Iron Works of Houma, Louisiana (hull #258) as the Corsair for Interstate Oil Transportation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
At the time Interstate Oil Transportation operated two fleets. Their Northeast Fleet or "Green Fleet" operated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And their Southern Fleet or "White fleet" which operated out of Tampa, Florida.
However, over the years many changes came to Interstate Oil, when a company called Southern National Resources (also known as SONAT Marine) acquired Interstate Oil Transportation.
Eventually a group of managers at SONAT Marine offered to form a partnership to raise the funds necessary to purchase the SONAT Marine subsidiary. These eleven partners included some who had worked for IOT since the 1950's. On April 14, 1987 Maritrans Partners of Tampa, Florida. Assumed control of SONAT's tug and barge operations.
However, in March of 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound. In 1990, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 was passed calling for the double hulling of all petroleum carrying vessels by 2015. As well, as other stipulations that effected Maritrans including manning, preparedness and spill prevention. Maritrans filed suit to fight the stipulations set fourth by OPA '90.
Maritrans had begun to consolidate its business by the mid 1990's. By first, backing out of the black oil trade and carry only petroleum products and petrochemicals. The phosphate trade and local transport in Baltimore that was part of the Harbor Towing subsidiary did not fit into Maritrans's new business model. As Maritrans backed out local companies moved in that included Bouchard Transportation of Melville, New York and Vane Brothers of Baltimore, Maryland.
The tug was acquired by K-Sea Transportation of East Brunswick, New Jersey. Where she was renamed as the Beaufort Sea.
The tug was later outfitted with a JAK coupler system. She is a twin screw tug rated at 4,300 horsepower.
In 2011, K-Sea Transportation was acquired by the Kirby Corporation of Channelview, Texas. Where the tug retained her name.

UCONN Huskies or Kentucky Wildcats? That is the question. The 2014 NCAA Championship live stream schedule will end tonight, and for one team it will be a season of greatness, while the other will have the entire off season to think about how they fell just one game short of a National Championship.
According to a Sportsline report on April 7 two of the biggest bracket busters will square off as the Connecticut Huskies will face the Kentucky Wildcats in tonight's NCAA Final. If you filled out a NCAA March Madness bracket had No. 8 Kentucky playing #7 Connecticut in this year's NCAA Tournament finale, congratulations because you stand alone.
In one of the craziest tournaments in recent memory, two high seeds will battle for basketball supremacy tonight in a battle between cats and dogs!
This match-up is a great example of how things can change from year to year in sports. Neither one of these teams qualified for last year's NCAA Tournament, and now they will battle for a championship.
If UCONN is going to win they will need Shabazz Napier to play big. Napier averaged 17.9 points per game this season, but it is his leadership that Huskies need most. For the young Wildcats it will be crashing the boards with their big men that could be the difference. These young 'Cats were a preseason No. 1 back in October and they are now showing the basketball world why.
They may not have been top seeds according to the NCAA committee, but UCONN and Kentucky are the top two teams right now, and that is all that matters.
The facts:
- Who: Kentucky (29-10) vs. Connecticut (31-8)
- Tipoff: 9:10 p.m. ET
- Television: CBS
- Favorite: Kentucky (-3.5)
Prediction: UCONN busted my bracket into millions of pieces the last two games? Any team that beats Michigan State and Florida in back to back games has my attention. The experts like Kentucky, but I am taking the Huskies.
Pick: UCONN +3.5

Dan Uggla says rebuilding not an option in the Marlins Park era
No one is expecting the Miami Marlins to break everything down and try to rebuild again slowly, as they did in 2006.
However, just in case some in their front office are tempted to do just that, Dan Uggla has a word of caution.
Uggla, now playing second base for the Braves, was one of the all-time great finds in the Rule V draft in December 2005. He hit the ground running, quickly finding his stride amid a low-pressure environment with few people in the stands at Sun Life Stadium.
Things are different, he says, now that the Marlins have their own taxpayer-funded stadium.
"When you have a new stadium, I don't know everything that goes along with it, but you need to put out a product people are going to be excited about," Uggla said after Wednesday's game at Marlins Park. "People don't want to see [no-names]. They want to see a young, budding superstar that comes up every once in a while, like a [Giancarlo] Stanton. That's exciting to watch."
What isn't acceptable anymore, Ugglas suggested, is "to bring in what we did in '06, and being like, 'Who are these no-name guys? What's going to happen?' "
The 2006 Marlins, with a majors-low payroll of just $15 million, became one of the best surprise success stories in recent times, even if manager Joe Girardi wasn't able to return for a second season.
"It ended up working out and they learned to love us," Uggla said of Marlins fans. "But yeah, you have to put out a product like Jose Reyes, those caliber of players."
So would Uggla be surprised if the Marlins tried to mount another three-year rebuilding plan?
"I would," he said. "But then again, who's to say? These guys [in the Marlins executive suite], they kind of march to the beat of a different drum than the rest of the league, which has worked for them in the past. That's the way they do things. I'll tell you what, it's what got my career started, Josh Willingham, Hanley [Ramirez], a lot of guys. A lot of really great players have come through this organization."
Trouble is, they never seem to wind up staying very long.

After some thinking, I have a terrible headache caused by the following problem. Imagine we have a function $u \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $u \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and$$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{n+2s}}dx\, dy < +\infty$$ where $0<s<1$ is fixed. I take $R \gg 1$ and define $\eta=\eta_R$ to be $0$ on $B(0,R)$, $1$ on $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus B(0,R+1)$, and affine on $B(0,R+1)\setminus B(0,R)$, so that $\eta$ is lipschitz continuous. We want to investigate whether $$\lim_{R \to +\infty} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|\eta(x)u(x)-\eta(y)u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{n+2s}}dx\, dy=0.$$
I can't even guess if the answer is positive (as in the case of truncation for $W^{1,p}$ functions) or negative.

A Dodge City official has won re-election after his name was drawn from a hat.
A canvass of votes in last week's elections showed City Commissioner Kent Smoll and challenger Joe Peters with 424 votes each.
On Monday, both names were placed in a red baseball cap, and a Ford County employee drew Smoll's name. Peters is a businessman and part-time sheriff's deputy, and several other officials - including a fellow deputy - passed on the responsibility of picking the winner.
Smoll will serve a two-year term on the city commission. Incumbent Rick Sowers was also re-elected, and voters chose former Kansas House member Jan Scoggins for the third seat at stake.

The Beast of Bray Road is named after the rural road the creature was first spotted on in 1949. The road is just outside Elkhorn Wisconsin. Since this original report, the creature has been spotted in other areas of North America, from southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois to as far as Vancouver Island in Canada.
The Beast of Bray Road has been described as a bear-like creature, as well as very large wolf-like animal. Other reports go as far as to claim that the creature walks on two legs, thus resembling a Sasquatch or Bigfoot. There are other claims that perhaps the Beast of Bray Road is actually a shapeshifter of some kind, either a were-bear or a werewolf.
There were a number of significant sightings of the Beast of Bray Road during the 1980s and the 1990s. A variety of sightings were covered by the newspaper Walworth Country Week. Reporter Linda Godfrey was so impressed with the sincerity of witnesses that she later built a book around her articles. This book was titled The Beast of Bray Road: Trailing Wisconsin's Werewolf.
In 2002, a film, known as "The Gable Film," supposedly caught a bulky creature moving on all fours that attempts to attack the camera operator. Some believed that the film captured footage of the Beast of Bray Road. Subsequently, this film was confirmed as a fake.
In 2005, The Asylum released the movie The Beast of Bray Road. Directed by Leigh Scott, the movie was inspired by the reports of the creature throughout the years.

A most enjoyable read! Once I started it, I was unable to
put it down. Ms. Nour's characters came to life within the
Earth women are abducted and taken to the Planet Volarn, a
planet where most of its female population is sterile.
Serena is one of the females kidnapped and is immediately
chosen by King Rhamus to be his Queen. (Loved how the
choosing was done!) The interaction between Serena and the
Rhamus throughout the story is priceless. Not to mention
some pretty sizzling love scenes. This story will leave you
feeling that love really does conquer all. King Rhamus is a
true Alpha male, 7 feet tall, thick black hair, rippling
muscles and violet eyes *swoon* (Take me to your leader!)
and to top it off he has a gentle heart. He knows right
away that he loves Serena but will Serena give herself the
chance to return this gentle giant's love? Or will she
attempt to return to earth?
Ms. Nour has built a strong cast of secondary characters as
well. They are well developed, and I'm hoping to hear more
about them in the future. Serena's friend Nicole is a hoot!
This is the first book that I have read from this author
and the first book in the Volarn Trilogy, and I eagerly
await more from her. Certainly will remain on my "Keeper"
shelf. I highly recommend Love's Captive.

Reviewed by Charlene Smith
Posted March 24, 2002
When Serena awakes, after a close and unpleasant encounter with some sort of stun gun, she very quickly learns that resistance is futile and escape only a yearned for dream. She, and the other Earth women Serena meets aboard ship with her, have been captured by the Moyds, interstellar merchants ….their mission, to procure fertile wives for the men of Volarn, where their race is endangered due to the wide-spread sterility of their own women. Learning this is at least some relief to the captured women, but Serena is disgusted to realize that they are nothing in these men's eyes but baby makers. Regardless, she knows she has no choice but to face the fate that awaits her with as much dignity as she can muster.
Once they arrive on Volarn, Serena learns that her assessment has not been entirely accurate. Using their power crystals in the Tarthra Ritual, the warriors approach the women with their crystals to find the mate most suited to them….a woman to love who can love them. Serena is chosen to become King Rhamus' queen, but, just as she feels herself weakening to Rhamus' romantic, passionate nature, Rhamus' enemy, Xarath, abducts her.

Pine Butte Swamp Preserve
The Big Swamp
The Nature Conservancy continues an ambitious project to protect Montana's Pine Butte Swamp: the largest wetland complex along the Rocky Mountain Front and one of the grizzly bear's last strongholds on the plains.
Pine Butte lies next to the vast Bob Marshall Wilderness and serves as a lush lowland extension to this mountain region. Besides providing essential seasonal habitat, it provides a vital connection for migrating wildlife as they travel from mountains to plains and back. The preserve is a place of stark, primeval beauty. The looming sandstone butte rises 500 feet above the grasses and wetlands,having survived the glaciers that scoured the surrounding country. The silvery north and south forks of the Teton River feed a complex of ponds and wetlands.
A Treasury of Habitats
In addition to the surface water flows through the preserve, Pine Butte Swamp (or fen) is an extensive peat-land fed by mineral-rich groundwater. What distinguishes if from other fens is its proximity to mountains, foothills and grasslands. This crazy-quilt of habitats -- wetlands and dry ground, flat prairie and steep mountains -- meet in a geologic sweep ranging from 4,500 to 8,500 feet in elevation. The result is a remarkably diverse flora supporting a third of the plant species in Montana. Rare wetland species such as yellow lady's slipper, Macoun's gentian, green-keeled cotton grass and Craw's sedge flourish in proximity to common upland prairie plants such as shrubby cinquefoil, rough fescue and Montana's state grass, bluebunch wheatgrass. Dozens of distinct plant communities have been identified on the preserve.
This wealth of vegetation provides habitat for an equally diverse fauna. Each spring grizzly bears descend from their mountain retreats, while snow still blankets the high country, following the watercourses on the Rocky Mountain Front , down to the swamp, where they feed and raise their young. The rich wetland environment provides both food and security, so the bears can easily replenish their depleted energy reserves.
Besides the grizzly forty-two other species of mammals roam the preserve, among them beaver, muskrat, mink, elk, moose, mountain lion, bobcat, lynx, black bear, mule deer and bighorn sheep. The preserve bird list contains about 200 species of birds -- 150 of which breed here. It's a stunning variety, from warblers, waterfowl and waders to soaring raptors. A rare hybrid minnow resides in the wetland waters as well. Sharp-tailed grouse use the wet meadows on the swamp's periphery for their "dancing grounds." In short, Pine Butte Swamp is a wildlife bonanza.
Traces of History
Pine Butte is also rich in history. The Great North Trail, used by Native Americans for thousands of years, cuts through the preserve. Tipi rings testify to the presence of prehistoric plains dwellers. A buffalo jump and associated drive lanes, used before the advent of the horse, can also be found. Scant remains of homestead structures dot the preserve,while ranching activities continue as they have for the past century.
Much earlier the preserve was home to vast herds of plant-eating dinosaurs. Eighty million years of geologic folding and erosion have brought thousands of dinosaur bones to the surface. A site, known as Egg Mountain, harbors one of the richest paleontological finds of our century: Maiasaura Peeblesorum, the "good mother lizard" who nested, laid eggs, fed and protected her young. Many nests, eggs, hatchlings and juveniles have been unearthed here. This research has provided more insight into dinosaur behavior than any other site in the world.
In 2005, the Conservancy sold the Egg Mountain site to the Museum of the Rockies, which has led important research on the site. The Conservancy retains a conservation easement on the site.
The Challenge
The Conservancy's responsibility for protecting the Pine Butte assemblage while promoting its ecological significance extends far into the future. We are committed to the long-term management of the preserve in a way that benefits the bears, the fen and the surrounding foothills savanna. Cooperative efforts with local agencies and neighboring landowners also enhance the integrity of the larger ecosystem.
Working closely with the local community to balance economic development and conservation remains an essential goal of the Conservancy.

Here is today's lineup courtesy of Brian Stull; the 'Birds are facing lefty Drew Smyly and the Tigers in Lakeland.
CF Jon Jay
2B Kolten Wong
SS Jhonny Peralta
DH Matt Adams
RF Randal Grichuk
3B Dan Descalso
LF Shane Robinson
1B Xavier Scruggs
C Audry Perez
SP Joe Kelly
Scheduled Pitchers: Sam Freeman, Tyler Lyons, Lee Stoppelman, Seth Maness, Jorge Rondon, Boone Whiting.
Pretty much all hitters are listed as available again.
I think we'll be seeing a lot of Wong this spring; he's really struggled to get the bat going so far, so I think they will use him as much as possible to get ready. Granted we are only 3 games in, but I'm not seeing him making the opening day roster if he keeps going like this; they'll keep Kozma up and use Ellis everyday at second.
Good news for Oscar Taveras; the prospect has been cleared for full baseball activities, according to Rick Hummel. The team will still limit his activities at this point and Matheny won't use him until he's 100% confident in his health. There is a good chance he'll start the season in Memphis.

Our opening challenge of the week occurred Wednesday July 2, as we took on Carline from Cedar Park Heights.
Gina's game has been slowly forming into shape and arrived in mid season form. She collected four hits, four singles, three runs scored, and two driven in. Ines continues her season of excellence by also collecting four singles, and scoring twice. 23 hits were accumulated as Purdon, Katie, Rozon, T-Mobile, Christiane, and Sylvie all collected a pair of hits.
Our defense re-dedicated itself to effort and energy. We allowed 12 hits, all of which were singles. We gave them donut holes in five of the seven innings played.
The score was tied 7-7 after five innings, when two significant plays from both the offensive, and defensive became difference makers.
Top of 6th inning
T-Mobile singles to center. Gina follows-up with a single to right field sending T-Mobile to 2nd. Christiane powers a ball to deep Right center. What happened next would make California Chrome beam.
Here comes T-Mobile, seeing her coach's arm FLAP to round 3rd and come home. ("I AM RUNNING!! "); followed by Gina who apparently doesn't see her coach's arm FLAP, but rounds the corner, churning her way home, and finally Christiane lands at 3rd. That 3 minute play was PRICELESS! We go on to score a 3rd run as Isabelle cashes in Christiane for a 10-7 lead.
The defensive highlight came from Lisa, who has shown comfort playing any position. Two on, with two out in the bottom of the 6th, and "Any position" DeSouza flags down a deep hit in Right field to end the frame.
That momentum change has our offense come alive as we score seven in the 7th to take it.
Salut! Bonjour! Elvis has left the building!
Rockets win 17-7 in our best performance since early June.
Game time: 1h49m
Girlfriend of the game: Gina
Our follow-up game against Wild Willey's saw the resurgence of Katie Allaire.
She had her best all around game in sometime as she went 3/4, two singles, a double, a run scored, and two driven in. Lisa, T-Mobile, Gina, Christiane, and Isabelle each had two hits which had the bottom of our line-up contribute extensively.
Our defense was solid as we pulled the trigger on a 4-6-3 Double play in the opening inning. The damage was held to a minimum for most of the evening.
We come up short of an 11-7 final score which could have easily gone our way.
Game time: 1H23M
Girlfriend of the game: Katie "Cush, man! It's the best!"
Bonding with the coach (Part deux!)
Gina with big smile: "Jimmy, come and see this, as a big bottle of Lysol wipes in her bag is shown:
Jimmy: "Oh, no wonder you are so "gay" tonight"
Gina: "LOL "
Jimmy "OK, O, K, That word also means HAPPY in my dictionary."
After 15 ½ seasons at the helm, here is what I have learned from this year's squad.
• I am forbidden to say the score aloud, unless I am told to do so!
• Monster should include Amaretto, Boreale, and St-Ambroise!
• I should offer discounts off my $2.00 purchase price!
• Coors Light is considered "p….y beer"
• The team has figured out that my FLAPPING my arm at 3rd base means go home, and doesn't imply my having a stroke! (I've had one already! Be with me until the day I die! Thank-you very much! )
• Apparently, after 450 games, I have much more to learn!
The road ahead has us in action with a pair of early games Wednesday, and Thursday. LOVEY, Can you confirm MIA's please?
Alright, enough with my professional side; it is time to concentrate on some personal fun…….which means that
The Grand Master Chef, Rob Reside WANTS YOU August 2nd for the annual Rocket bbq!
Witness the culinary genius of our team chef as he prepares the most succulent smoked turkey this side of Bobby Flay.
It has been part of team culture to open invite to our family and friends to enjoy the joys of summer.
What that means is that we will need side dishes to accompany the "Gobble! Gobbles!" Start making a list! Start making plans! My home is your home, and look forward to a fabulous night!
Til we meet again,
Have fun, stay young, drink lots of beer, and speak highly of me!
Coach Jimmy

This is homework problem. I need to give an example of internal sets $A_n \subset \mathbb{R}^*$ for which the union $\bigcup _{n=i}^\infty A_n $ is not internal.
Also, this whole internal set business has a tad eluded me.
Definition from my lecture material:
Let $B_n \subset \mathbb R, \ \forall n \in \mathbb N$. Then we say that $\Psi[B_n]$ is the set of equivalence classes $[u_n] \in \mathbb R^*$, for which $u_n \in B_n$ for $\mathscr U$-almost-all $n$, given the ultrafilter $\mathscr U$. A set of the form $\Psi[B_n] \subset \mathbb R^*$ is called internal. If for all $n,\ B_n = B$, we call $B$ as non-standard extension of $B$ and use symbol $B^*$ for it.
Any help? Can you explain the internal set any more intuitively, cause it is clearly a very important concept?

Reducing GHG emissions could benefit public health by reducing the negative effects of particulate matter and ozone that result from the burning of fossil fuels. In a 1997 study, the World Resources Institute (WRI), the World Health Organization (WHO), and others estimated that eight million avoidable air pollution-related deaths will occur worldwide by the year 2020. More recently, researchers evaluated the health benefits in the next 20 years from reductions of GHG emissions from fossil fuels in four heavily populated cities—Mexico City, New York City, Santiago (Chile), and São Paulo (Brazil). The researchers calculated that adopting GHG mitigation technologies would reduce particulate matter and ambient ozone concentrations by about 10 percent. Conservative estimates suggest these cities could avoid:
- 64,000 premature deaths (including infants)
- 65,000 cases of chronic bronchitis
- 37 million lost or restricted work days
Given that three billion people live in urban areas around the world, this makes a powerful argument for taking early action to address climate change. To obtain the full article, visit http:// www.sciencemag.org (access requires a subscription).
Social Cost of CO2is estimated at $21/metric tons of CO2 equivalents.
The purpose of the "social cost of carbon†(SCC) estimates is to allow agencies to incorporate the social benefits of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into cost-benefit analyses of regulatory actions that have small, or "marginal,†impacts on cumulative global emissions. The SCC is an estimate of the monetized damages associated with an incremental increase in carbon emissions in a given year. It is intended to include (but is not limited to) changes in net agricultural productivity, human health, property damages from increased flood risk, and the value of ecosystem services due to climate change2.
