College Hockey:North Dakota associate coach Eades' contract not renewed
North Dakota associate head coach Cary Eades will not have his contract renewed for the 2012-13 season.
A press release issued by the school said the move is "part of a restructuring of UND's coaching staff."
Eades has been a member of the Fighting Sioux coaching staff for each of head coach Dave Hasktol's eight seasons behind the bench and was elevated from assistant coach to associate head coach prior to the 2006-07 season.
"Cary has provided tremendous leadership to our program and to the individuals within our program," Hakstol said in a statement. "I truly appreciate the loyalty and dedication he has demonstrated throughout his time at North Dakota. At this point in time, I felt a need to redefine and restructure the roles and duties within our coaching staff. There are no additional underlying reasons for my decision, which was an extremely difficult one to make."
Eades coached UND's defensemen and power play and also served as the program's recruiting coordinator.
"I am very appreciative of the past eight years at the University of North Dakota and am very proud of my contributions to the team's success that we've enjoyed," added Eades, who previously was an assistant coach for the 1987 NCAA and WCHA champion Sioux and played at UND from 1978-82. "Winning some form of a championship – WCHA league, WCHA playoff or NCAA regional – in each season is a testament to that. I can also hold my head high knowing that our shelves are stocked with talent for next year's team and beyond."
Hakstol said a definitive timeline for naming a replacement has not yet been determined.

so they basically kicked him out?
- Fan Man
Wow if that is the case, he should have applied for the job at Mankato! Whatever the case, any team that gets him will benefit from his prior experience with the greatest team in the country. It was time for some sort of change me thinks….
- Syncop8
He did apply for the Mankato job but did not make the cut.
Personally, I think Hakstol got rid of the wrong assistant coach.
- Scpa0305
I agree!
- Fan Man
How do you know he applied for the Mankato job? Curious… I doubt he ever wanted to leave UND and like previous comments, something is very fishy and I don't see any Walleyes……….
- Anti-NCAA
It was already published in the papers a few weeks ago that Eades had applied for the MSU-Mankato position. I'm thinking that:
1) UND has another defensive-minded coach they want on board; or,
2) There was a falling out between Hak & Eades.
Eades is a very good associate head coach, but that doesn't mean he can LEAD a program toward a national championship. There is a difference. I hope Eades finds a like position/stability and I hope that UND adds to their winning inventory.
- collegehockeyfan
Too bad he will be gone, another team will get a top caliber coach for sure…
- Fighting Pioux
Are you serious? There is no bigger D Bag in college hockey than Eades.
Homeboy, you at least get credit for having lots of email addresses to carry on the charade of multiple people….
- 3rd reicht
I think they got the picture wrong….why would they insert hitler's?
- nogofer
Your parents must so proud…

Ya so much for Flagging comments on here, whata joke

And with grammar like that, yours should be too.
- MPLS Sioux
Thank God! I was looking for an English teacher when i came onto this site and here you are.
- Yooperhockey
Welcome the new Director of Operations of the NCHC.
Not enough of a challenge for him. After all, what does a league staff officer actually do once the schedule has been hashed out? Answer: Not much….
- Yooperhockey
That position or the UNO job.
- Mr Hockey
Why did Blais get fired? Eades applied for the Mankato job and didn't get it, I doubt UNO wants him.
- J_ott
blais left.. never got fired..
The general consensus was that Blasi was not fired, just became weary of trying to deal with the staff at the Ralph. Or so I heard…
- 18secondsbeforesunrise
I have no ill will toward UND but…
"Lucy, you got some splaining to do."
Does anyone else feel there is something they are not telling us. Why would they release an experienced coach with an excellent resume? Hopefully it is because he has another opportunity and needed to be freed from his UND contract.
- Scpa0305
Probably not every coach has a clause that if something better (a head coaching position, for that matter), he can opt out. This is fishy to me. We have had some decommits recently but look at who is still there. Our team is stacked next year….and it is a large part because of Eades.
- Siouxcowboy
Wow! A there is a new top coach available! Hey Gophers, Lucia is a bum! Get some class and Eades!
- Satriani92
Not likely and no thanks
- nwjeffries
- Satriani92
This is just a polite way to say he was sacked. If he was going to be released to pursue other interests it would have happened way before this. There has to be something going on behind the scenes that no one wants to talk about.
- Sueh8ter
wow, even his alma mater doesn't want him. he must really be trashy!
- Fan Man
Not as trashy as You
- Sueh8ter
he must be, he got fired!! i have never been fired from a job. it won't be long before it comes out as to what kind of inappropriate behavior he was up to.
Still washing dishes at the Westward Ho, eh Homeboy?
- nogofer
Hey, sister: Good to hear from you…
- Karrie Butler
He looks like a pedophile…just saying
How does a pedophile look?
- Little Timmy Horton
He was a recruiter and defenseman coach, maybe because some top recruits decommitted recently?
Happens every year, what would be new? It is to be expected.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_MFXBTWECLPFNIEOUEMQCFCTITU Jay
There will be a head coach position somewhere for him…
- Sueh8ter
I know the Charleston Chiefs are looking for a coach, this rube will fit right in!
- nogofer
You talk tough behind the anonymity of the internet… You would wet your diaper in front of this coach…
- Sueh8ter
oh, i don't think that would happen, but i would have to keep an eye on my wife if we were in front of this coach!! hahahahahaha
Homeboy, like you have a wife…..
It would be too crowded in mom's basement.
- Sueh8ter
why is it that you losers from the flatlands can never face and accept the truth about anything. eades is a d.bag and they got rid of him. end of discussion.
Homeboy, tell the truth, which member of the program stole your first and only girlfriend?
- Sueh8ter
as do you, throw your name out there. i doubt that will happen!!!!!!
- GoldyTheGreat
- nogofer
Just like the gofer's last game… yawn…
- Suture
Suehater, you are a really something my friend. How old are you….you sound like you are 16. If you are a child then there is at least some hope for you. I really think you should initiiate a psychological evaluation, I have a feeling you have Borderline Personality Disorder. I could be wrong, you might have Antisocial Personality Disorder. If you keep on talking as you do on this website I might be able to determine if you possbily suffer from Bipolar Disorder. Either way, I think you may want to find a Doc and get started on some Lithium and/or Abilify. Wow, I feel sorry for you and I feel sorry for your parents….think how difficult it must be for them to watch you get through a single day..!! I really think your contributions to this website will be much improved after therapy is started so you may want to get on that tiger….good luck.
My analysis is that Sueh8ter (actually one of several sockpuppet names used by the same individual) is actually a homeboy from Grand Forks.
Only a local who feels jealous of the attention lavished on the team could hate said team so much.
After all, no one in Grand Forks could hate the Gophers with the intensity that Sueh8ter has towards the UND team.
He also knows way too much of the local establishments for him to live elsewhere.
- SoaringEagle
Why so much press about a guy who was part of a coaching staff that had tons of NHL draft choices on the roster, a permissive attitude towards drugs and alcohol and no academics that produced nothing for years? The guy obviously can't coach! Personally I hope they keep Hakstol for life. Chronic underachievers and their tweaker fans. Enjoy the off seasons dudes. BC is totally superior in every way. There is not comparison. If you want to talk 7 titles, remember, for some of those titles, you actually need members of the team still alive, unlike UND.
- Fan Man
Yes the Eagles have been soaring lately, no doubt about that! Underachieving, I think not unless your only argument is that they have not won a national title since 2000…. They havent gone a year without winning a conference title, divisional title or regional title since! Us tweaker fans like you say are getting a little frustrated by not taking down the NCAA (in more than one way) but that time will come soon I guarantee. If you keep putting yourself in the position to win, you know that eventually it will happen.
- icelund
Do you think before you post? There are national champions off of the 2000 team still playing and coaching in the NHL.
As far as Cary Eades is concerned the man is a great coach. He brought 3 Minnesota high school hockey titles too Warroad, and coached UND's special teams into a lethal unit, the most efficient powerplay in the nation more than a few times. They made the NCAA tourney every year that Eades was an assistant.
Check your facts, and more importantly grow up.
Its homeboy again….
- nogofer
Google BC greenline collision, then get back to me…
- Yooperhockey
What is wrong with college hockey? A ton of players from the USNDP are going to play in the Canadien Hockey Leagues instead of college is this because of the fallout of the WCHA.
Losing top recruits to Canada is not good for college hockey when the new leagues form in two years.
Mr Eades lost his job because of players going north.
Does not compute when you look at the commits who has signed to play at UND. Cary Eades has been successful in recruiting a highly talented team Your fixation with the evils of the NCHC is wearing out….
- Yooperhockey
Minus three recruits that were going to North Dokata, instead they are going north, plus a top recruiter, the ship is sinking.
Who is going to save the ship?
- icelund
What ship? The ship that hasn't relinquished the Broadmoor Trophy in 3 years?
- GopherTuba69
Players don't come to a school to win Broadmoor Trophies, they come to win National Championships!! That's why they jumped off the covered wagon and ran north before they were ambushed by the Sue!!
Actually, the players come to UND to prepare for the pros in which role the program functions admirably.
- Yooperhockey
If they don't decommit to go to the WHL.
If Ralph didn't donate the big bucks ND would just be another program.
My programs need some big donors like Ralph at ND and Tom at Penn State so we can play with big boys.
Then find them. Or doesn't your school train them?
- Scott Reed
Just another program??? As everybody loves to point out we haven't won a NC since we got the Ralph. We have always had a very good program!
- GopherTuba69
if by preparing for the pros you mean that they learn to fight and be hacks then yes, UND prepares them very well :)
Sorry your program has had some tough years. Reference the "Hacks" comment, only a cake eater would miss the illicit action coming from the gopher side and hyper focus on the Sioux.
And yes, witnessing the recent unusually large number of UND vets playing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Sioux obviously prepares them well.
- Fan Man
I know right. Isn't or wasn't it great watching the likes of Oshie, Parise, Toews, Green, Zajak, etc.. making huge impacts and leading their teams to and through the playoffs this year!!!!! Don't see that many Goofer players making such an impact at the NHL level. Barely even see those early departure's from the U of M doing anything in the AHL level….
Yeah, we know we will at least have one UND grad in the stanley Cup finals this year. Not many other schools could ever say that at this point in the season.
Happens every year. We also lose 2-3 each year to the draft when they sign with the pro franchises.
As of yesterday the GF Herald was tracking the following as Committed recruits
Clarke Saunders, G (UAH)Coltyn Sanderson, F ('91)Zane Gothberg, G ('92)Paul LaDue, D ('92)Bryn Chyzyk, F ('92)Jordan Schmaltz, D ('93)Geoff Crisfield, D ('93) Adam Tambellini, F ('94)Luke Johnson, F ('94)Drake Caggiula, F ('94)Jack Rowe, F ('94)Luke Voltin, F ('95)Charlie Pelnik, D ('95)Keaton Thompson, D ('95)Nick Schmaltz, F ('96)Chris Wilkie, F ('96)Brendan Lemieux, F ('96)
I imagine we will have lost some of them before they show up in the fall, but this is hardly a hemorrhage as you depict. And unlike what you posit, the fact that UND will be in the premiere league in the future will make early departures even less frequent.
- Yooperhockey
My point is if Cary Eades is such a good recruiter how come his home school is fire/not renewing his contract?
You tell me that Mankato wasn't even interested int Eades they didn't even interview him and this is from a New WCHA team?
So, you tell me if he was such a good recruiter I would be firing my coach head college coach for my home team and hiring Coach Eades at $300,000 a year.
He is not for real. ND sells itself on getting players not Eades. He will end up as college has been helping coaching in the ECHL.
Coach Eades is going end up in the same place the NCHC is going to end up.
I heard the Janesville Jets are looking for a coach? I hear Wisconsin is pretty nice hockey state to coach? Cows, Cheese, and Packers.
Why didn't UND renew his contract? I have no idea nor do you.
Where will he end up? I have no idea, but it is likely he will replace some other coach, possibly in the pro's/
Where will NCHC end up? THat I can answer. It is primed to become the Premiere league which will bogard the majority of the final four slots in the coming years and reside at the top of the polls.
- MIke
Hey B.D.
I love how you can answer the question of where the NCHC will end up but yet you ask for proof from others.
The majority of the final four slots …. really? How many slots did they have this past season? I can answer that for you but I'm sure with some hard research you can figure that one out as well!
Quite simple, the NCHC is placing together the bulk of the average end of season leaders in one conference. This heightened level of competiton will sharpen the members of that conference. Also improve in recruiting.
The only way to improve on the NCHC would be to somehow lure Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Boston College to the party.
Predictive intelligence Mike, much diffferent than requesting verification about statements of other peoples actions.
- Mike
Yeah ok … it is your opinion. I'm not even going to ask how you come up with MN, Wisconsin and BC as the only 3 teams to improve the NCHC. Quite frankly that is a dumb statement.
Now that is my opinion of course but I'll just call it intelligence. Much different than predictive intelligence because I'm clearly talking about how stupid that statement is currently and in the future!
WHat three teams would you lure to the NCHC to make it better?
- Yooperhockey
The three teams to make the NCHC better. Easy
Lake State Lakers, Michigan Tech Huskies, and Northern Michigan Wildcats.
UP Power. The birthplace of pro hockey.
How would those three sub .500 teams against WCHA teams with few fans and lesser ability to draw crowds improve the NCHC? THose three teams haver lesser resources than any of the other current NCHC teams and could hardly be seen as an improvement on the current roster.
I recommend they form an "All Michigan all the time" league and hope for the best. Failing that I would hope they fit into what is left of the WCHA and seek to improve their place in the hockey world.
Bottom line, those teams are not ready for a premiere league.
- Yooperhockey
Just remember the WCHA will eat the Nacho one chip at a time.
Really? Wow, that is optomistic. So you are saying that more teams from the remnants of the WCHA will be in next years tournament than the new NCHC. And that the NCHC will have a lesser record in games against WCHA teams during exibitions next year?
- Tim
From a former und hockey alumn… Eades had a hard time staying away from his fellow coaches wives. Eades is known to frequent bonzers looking for a good time with the young lovely ladies after many Friday and Saturday games til the wee hours of the night. Not a very focused coach if you ask me
Any proof?
- Tim
No one wants to admit that this is going on,it's a black eye on the program. So what do they do? They say we are going in a different direction. But if you were to ask anyone close to the staff if this was happpening, I'm sure they would have to pause for a second and have to think of a way to reply. I also have heard from a wcha ref that when the reffing crew were departing a hotel at 4 am to catch a flight, mr Eades was just coming home from a night out on the town. I'm glad und has rid themselves of an individual such as mr. Eades
Have you seen it yourself, or just hearsay?
- Yooperhockey
So hide your wife when you hire him to coach.
- Scpa0305
You are completely wrong. Nice story. Brad Berry is coming back.
- Tim
Maybe at his next position he will leave his fellow coaches wifes' alone. That might help him stay in one place
Any proof of said allegation?
- Norm
As BU guy, this is hard for me to say, but if they want to make a good hire, hire BC's guru Greg Brown. It is not an accident that they have been soooo solid on D during the last 3 years.
Frustrated on the other end of Comm Ave
- CrockOGrimaldi
Any truth to the rumor that Hakstool was mad he made a move on his wife and not him?
- Scpa0305
Another classy comment by a complete low life.
Just homeboy and another of his sock puppet characters.
- CommAve
We sure are enjoying our latest championship here in Boston. Any of you guys old enough to remember the last time the Sue got one?
- Scpa0305
Yup….saw 2….you?
Actually, I recall quite a few.
- GopherTuba69
Finally the Sue made a good decision for once letting Eades go!! He was about the least classy person in the world!! The rest of college hockey already knows this and if he couldn't get a job in Mankato, he needs to realize that he should never coach again!!
- Scott Reed
Maybe its karma for one of the most entertaining hockey fights ever…the water bottle incodent.

Do this: A 2 percent solution of minoxidil for women is sold over the counter, but the FDA has okayed a 5 percent for men, and that's much more effective. So try it, says Wilma Bergfeld, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic. Apply once daily to minimize any side effects, she says. Do know that it could take six months to a year before you really notice a change.
Or this: To slow down the development of lip fuzz, chin hairs, and other unwanted growth, Bergfeld recommends a daily supplement of 30 to 100 milligrams of zinc for its antiandrogen effect.

Eating healthy doesn't have to be so complicated! And "eating right" was never intended to be linked to bland beige or boring plates. On the contrary, it's a huge opportunity to explore flavor options and try new foods. Take advantage of the new season and use these simple tips to enjoy the tastes of eating right.
- Eat the rainbow. Eating a variety of foods from each of the colors of the rainbow offers an exciting palate of spicy and sweet flavors, not to mention health benefits. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple even white and brown create an interesting choice of food options. Colorful super-foods like pomegranate, kale, dark cherries and quinoa are loaded with antioxidants, which fight disease, aid in anti-inflammation and support a healthy heart. Set a small goal every day to include one fruit and one vegetable from a different color or plan your meals to be as colorful as possible. The more colorful the meal, the more likely you are to enjoy it.
- Spring has sprung, so eat up! One of the easiest ways to take advantage of the new season is to find the foods in season at their ripest. Some of my favorites coming into season now are artichokes, asparagus, cabbage, leafy greens (kale, collards and mustards) and soon enough it'll be strawberry season! Take the family on a trip to a local farmers market to try fruits and veggies at their freshest. You'll discover new foods to try and add to your meals. Keeping the kids involved helps foster new relationships with healthy eating.
- Moderation versus elimination. Most people associate 'living better' or 'eating right' with sucking all of the fun out of life and food. You can still be healthy and enjoy the foods you love, with a little moderation and the 80/20 principle. The 80/20 principle suggests that 80% of the time, we are eating healthy, balanced nutritious meals, and the other 20%, we allow ourselves to enjoy favorites such as pizza, wings, ice cream or cupcakes in moderation. It's a learned discipline, but once you introduce your mind and body to how amazing it feels, you recognize the guilt-free pleasure foods like a slice of cake or a Coke Mini as moderated options rather than overwhelming indulgences.
- Get set to spring clean! Now is also a great time to think about spring cleaning your kitchen. Take an inventory of your kitchen and create a system that supports your efforts. Stock the fridge, freezer and pantry with your go-to options. This may take a little prep work and grocery shopping, but most of the prep takes less than 5 minutes. The cash and the calories you'll save will far outweigh the time and cost. Keep containers or bags of snackables like grapes, chopped veggies like celery or carrot sticks, part skim cheese sticks and grab-and-go beverages like Odwalla natural juices or superfood smoothies. Having these items available to grab on your way out the door or stash in your office desk drawer or fridge will ward off the 3 oclock vending machine run.
Your nutrition goals should always be centered on finding the opportunities to enjoy eating healthy.

it may be time
Seeing the photos of Isabelle Kontoure makes me reconsider
changing my hair color this season. I've almost always kept
it my natural color of dark brown, I don't like anything that
looks fake or unnatural, but this honey/auburn color is so appealing.
It may be time for a change!

Results tagged ' Twins '
Finally, a Twins callup from Rochester (AAA) is taking the opportunity of a lifetime and running with it. Anthony Swarzak made his second consecutive strong start, the Twins (even without Thome/Kubel) knocked out a bunch of runs, and we inched one game closer to fourth place. Gee whiz, I know, but progress is progress at this point. Maybe a series win on the road can occur next??!!

The Mauer Effect
Memorial Day weekend is often used as the first "benchmark" in a long baseball season. Which teams are strong, which are weak, who may be sellers at the break, who may be gearing up for a mid-season trade.
Usually, the running joke here in Twins Territory is that the Kansas City Royals are usually making winter vacation plans at about this time. Well, the Royals ARE in fourth place in the AL Central and more than a few games below .500, but there's something this year that makes the joke quite a bit less funny: the Royals are 6-7 games ahead of the Minnesota Twins.
So far this season on this blog, I have lamented the terrible play and given a few opinions of my own on it. I would like to add one more here, known possibly as the "Joe Mauer Effect":
Clearly, the biggest reason for the Twins' struggles has been the time lost to injuries to key players. There's no debating that fact. However, I wonder if perhaps the potential "babying" (the word goes in quotes because nobody seems to know exactly what transpires with him on a day-to-day basis) of star catcher Joe Mauer isn't creating a tinge of bitterness in the clubhouse that translates over onto the field.
A baseball clubhouse, besides the crass camaraderie and checkbook amounts, is no different than any other workplace. If one person is getting better treatment than others, and those others feel that that treatment is not well-deserved, a bitter attitude can poison the work environment. Some people can put that bitterness behind them and be abject professionals, while others let it stew and bleed over into their work habits.
I'm not accusing the Twins of anything, as I have never stepped foot into their pre- or post-game clubhouse and thus cannot pass judgement. However, it's just something to think about as the weird injuires (and losses) keep piling up.
What the Twins have on their side, though, is Ron Gardenhire.
While I have–in the past–criticized some of Gardy's on-field decisions, I do not question for one moment that he is one of (if not THE) best player-relations manager in the game today. He demands respect for the game, and if he doesn't get it you won't play for him all that much longer.
I hope this "Mauer Effect" isn't seeping through the Twins clubhouse on a daily basis, but like I said, it is worth mentioning. Of course, as is always the case in professional sports, if Mauer comes back and hits .350, all will be forgiven. Let's hope against hope that something similar transpires to give the team a bit of a spark this season.
-Kubel and Thome put on DL today. Oy.

Hughes & Hoey: A Poetic Interpretation
Back in 1948, this little ode was crafted by a Boston sportswriter to describe the dominance of the two pitching aces of the Boston Braves: Warren Spahn & Johnny Sain…
First we'll use Spahn
then we'll use Sain
Then an off day
followed by rain
Back will come Spahn
followed by Sain
And followed
we hope
by two days of rain.
Now, my own poetic interpretation of the Minnesota Twins' relieving duo of Jim Hoey & Dusty Hughes:
Hughes & Hoey
Hoey & Hughes
When they hit the mound
It's most surely a "lose"
First will come Hughes, with his lefthanded gait
And pitches that butcher the heart of the plate.
Batters will swing, both lefty and righty,
And crush that poor sphere deep into the nighty
Then will come Hoey, his fastball ablaze
Staring down batters with that long, lanky gaze
But, alas, the round orb could fly hither and yon
So batters need only wait, and then show their brawn
Hughes & Hoey
Hoey and Hughes
They come in to cheers
And leave mainly to "boooooos!"
Preview (16-33, 5th, 6.0 GB CWS): Jered Weaver (6-4, 2.35) vs. Anthony Swarzak (0-2, 7.71)
Treading Water
The definition of "treading water" is: "a stroke that keeps the head above water by thrashing or rhythmic movements of the legs and arms". Basically, treading water is the act of staying in one place despite a flurry of motion. The last two days, the Twins have provided a clinic in such a behavor.
Last night, Nick Blackburn pitches a complete game gem…
…and really gets the fans up and yelling at Target Field once again (I was one of them!).
Then today…
…the offense once again goes dormant and gets shutout by Erik Bedard and Co. to lose yet another series.
Thus, essentially, we haven't gained back any ground that we had lost before Blackie's inspiring performance. Treading water.
Preview (16-32, 5th, 5.5 GB CWS): Harmon Killebrew Tribute at Target Field.
New Point Of View
Okay, it's almost the end of May and the Twins are 15 games below .500 (15-30), and dead last in the AL Central. I've done all the analyzing I can (injuries, wrecked bullpen, disappointing starters, etc.) and am taking a new point of view from this point forward:
The way I see it, we are 5.5 GB the Chicago White Sox right now for fourth place. Once there (if ever), we can set our sets on third, and so on and so forth. I don't care what the Indians or Tigers are doing right now, or even what our record is (to an extent). I'm just looking to move up in the rankings, one at a time.
The Killer
Today, Minnesota Twins fans, baseball fans, and the world at large lost a hero with the passing of Harmon Killebrew at age 74 due to esophogeal cancer.
There are so many tributes to Harm floating around in cyberspace that I don't even know where to begin. Heck, I didn't even see the guy play, but when EVERYONE who know says he was their hero as a child, a legend is pretty much the closest way of describing him.
I could go so many directions here, but I'll keep it short and say this: When all is said in done, it really doesn't matter how many home runs he hit or how many ballgames he won/lost. Those moments may produce a lot of nostalgia, but the real reason there are a lot of misty eyes in Minnesota right now is because of the type of man Harmon was. I've never heard a harsh word said about him from anyone, and he was always a model for a good, clean, simple life filled with the things and people he loved. Referencing the "hook" of the above video tribute, I think that Harmon DID get all those letters (or at least tried!). He also valued them deeply.
When Babe Ruth, the greatest pre-Harmon slugger, was dying of cancer (also of the throat, oddly enough), he was known to quip "The termites have got me." Well, sadly those same "termites" got Harm today, along with a big portion of Minnesota childhood for the baby boomers.
As far as relating this to the current Twins team that is mired in a deep slump, I remember a certain ballclub just a few years ago that turned a tragic event:
…into the inspiration for a remarkable comeback. That team, of course, was the 2006 Twins, who (on May 17) were 9.5 GB in the division and ended up going to the playoffs.
Preview (12-27, 5th, 3.5 GB CWS): Francisco Liriano (2-5, 7.07) vs. Felix Hernandez (4-3, 3.36)
Who's On Third?
One of the things that has kind of been funny to watch this season is the complete 180 degree philosophy of coaching third base…
For the past few years (ever since Al Newman left, I believe) Scott Ulger coached third and become notorious for getting guys thrown out by feet, not inches. Gardy usually praised Scotty's aggressiveness, but this year Ulger is bench coach, with Steve Liddle manning the hot corner box:
Liddle (at least so far) has been the polar opposite, throwing up stop signs like a middle school crossing guard.
To be honest, I don't know which approach is best. There's nothing worse than getting a key run thrown out at the dish by a mile, but having an inning snuffed with a man on third is exasperating as well. I think that 3B-coach is just one of those spots where turnover is the name of the game. Whereas Jerry White will coach 1B forever under Gardy…
…the guy at the hot corner is under so much more pressure to make those split-second decisions correctly.
It isn't as easy as it looks (!):
Hail No
Oh…so it's going to be one of those years…
The Obligitory Reference
Any time a major leaguer hurls a no-hitter, like Frankie Liriano did last week, an obligitory reference must be made sometime before his next start to Johnny Vander Meer. Thus, I'm just doing my duty (!)
In 1938, on June 11th and 15th, Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds pitched no-hitters in consecutive starts, the only major league pitcher to ever do so. Vander Meer's major league career was suspect (119-121, 3.44 ERA, 1,132 BB, 1,294 K), but he'll always have those two days in June '38.
Can Liriano do it?! Let's just say, it would take a seismic event of the Twins falling to last place in the divis…oh, okay. So maybe anything IS possible at this point.
Preview (12-21, 5th, 0.5 GB CWS): Rick Porcello (2-2, 3.93) vs. Francisco Liriano (2-4, 6.61).

Co-located with ECAI 2014 in Prague, Czech Republic
The field of constraint solving has traditionally evolved quite independently from those of machine learning and data mining. In recent years, interest has been growing on the connections between these fields, and the potential advantages of their integration. Integration can work in two ways, on the one hand, various types of constraint solvers can be included in machine learning and data mining algorithms, for example to provide a uniform and effective way to characterize the desired solutions; on the other hand, machine learning can help in addressing constraint satisfaction problems, both at the level of search, by improving search or integrating intelligent meta-heuristics, as well as at the level of modelling, for example by learning constraints or interactively supporting a decision maker.
While promising initial results have been achieved in such directions, many options are unexplored and further research is needed in order to establish a systematic approach to this integration. The best way to reach the full potential of such integrations is in a multi-disciplinary way.
The main purpose of this workshop is to provide an open environment where researchers in machine learning, data mining and constraint solving can exchange ideas and discuss promising approaches, crucial issues, open problems and interesting formalizations of new tasks. To encourage this, we will allow three different types of submissions:
The following is a non-exclusive list of topics of interest:
In addition to the received contributions, the workshop will include invited talks from prominent researchers working in the intersection between constraint technology, machine learning and data mining. The workshop is planned to end with a broad discussion on the most relevant open problems and research directions.

Tuesday, at the World Cup, Belgium eliminated the USA by 2-1 after extra time and Argentina did exactly the same, only by a 1-0 score, with Switzerland.
The USA played its best game and came close to upsetting Belgium only to fall because of a couple of defensive miscues, but most importantly a couple of attacking misses which were gifts for the taking.
Argentina was played tough by Switzerland who were unlucky to lose at the last possible moment to another moment of Lionel Messi magic, this time a perfect assist on the Angel di Maria winner.
We had our share of officiating favoritism with one curious incident standing out, and a series of interesting fan reactions attracting media attention. Both the incident and fan reactions occurred during the Argentina-Switzerland game. During the match, Lionel Messi pushed a Swiss player to the ground in order to better place the ball down, unimpeded, for a quick retake, after a foul in his benefit was called. The ref, but a few strides away, let the advantageous retake go uncontested and the outrageous push go unpunished.
In the stands, we had the fans reaction to Argentina's play. The Argentine fans were chanting "Maradona is better than Pele," as the cameras showed the greatest player of all time was present at the match. Then, as Argentina finally pulled ahead, the Argentine fans were chanting "How do you like that Brazuca?" and "Can you handle it, Brazil?" The Brazilians reacted by booing all sustained Argentine interventions on the field and chanting "Ole" whenever the Swiss strung a few successive passes together.
Univision's commentators said: "What does any of this have to do with the match at hand? Boy, can you just imagine the fan reactions for an Argentina-Brazil final?" Commentators for ESPN Deportes reacting to the chants regarding Pele and Maradona said: "They just don't give that topic a rest, do they?"
Other World Cup related news also filtered in below the cacophony of the day's two big matches. 538 Sports had a great article on Lionel Messi's true value in the sport, while ESPN-FC had a page on World Cup statistics that tells us the top assist men in the tournament are from Colombia and Holland. But as of this writing they had not updated their stats to indicate that there is a new World Cup record holder for most saves in a game by a single player--Tim Howard.
At Sports Illustrated's Planet Futbol we learned that Cameroon's team is suspected of match fixing at the Brazil World Cup, and that their Football Association is investigating the claims. BBC Sports followed up the match fixing story with additional info directly from the alleged source of the match fixing claims.
Finally, we now have the full quarterfinals set up: Brazil-Colombia and France-Germany with the winners meeting in one semifinal, and the Netherlands-Costa Rica and Argentina-Belgium with the winners meeting in the other. It would seem a Brazil-Germany and Argentina-Netherlands could be in the cards.

Fox News' The Five Absolutely Shocked Obama Snubbed them for Clooney, Buffet at State Dinner
Andrea "Los Tantalizing Legs" Tantoros and friends sit around a NewsCorp table, all expressing absolute shock and rage that they were snubbed by Barack Hussein Obama at the White House's recent state dinner with British MP David Cameron.
Last week, United States President Barack Hussein Obama spent over $350 million dollars wining and dining British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Obama has sheltered his personal life with Cameron, largely masquerading his relationship with the British official as all pomp and circumstance, instead of it's true nature.
This all changed after my secret investigative report and camera work that caught them in a tongue dally. CAUGHT!:Barack Obama illegally kisses David Cameron.
So it's really no surprise that The Five Knights of Holiness were rejected from Obama's little romantic White House State Dinner. Warren Buffet was invited and the newly gay George Clooney was invited as well.
But there were no true Republicans there and that's just fine. Have your cake and eat it too, Obama, because in the 2012 elections we're voting you OUT and morality IN.

Renters: if the shoe fits, buy a home now!
If you said "YES" to one of these categories, congratulations.You just graduated to I'm a First-Time Buyer.

Anyone who has shared walls, floors and ceilings with neighbors understands the urge for greater privacy. It's irresistible.
Whether you're bringing home a new baby, puppy or a drum set, the need for more space is always a great reason to buy now.

PUERTO RICO - Former Washington State volleyball player Meagan Ganzer led the Puerto Rican Volleyball Federation professional league in points in her debut season with the Ponce Lions team.
Ganzer, a 6-3 right side hitter from Black Diamond, Wash., was a 2011 All-Pac-12, and AVCA All-Pacific Region and All-America outside hitter for the Cougars. She began playing professionally in January of 2012 and dominated the Puerto Rican Volleyball Federation regular season with 425 points as a right side hitter for Ponce. She is currently playing in the postseason Quarterfinal Series A tournament and leading her team in points.
Ganzer led the Cougars and the Pac-12 the entire 2011 season in kills per set and ended the season with a 4.88 kills per set average which was fifth-best nationally. She also had a 5.38 point per set average which was second-best in Pac-12 and sixth-best nationally. Ganzer accumulated 1,531 career kills which is third-best in WSU all-time records, and her 52 solo blocks is ninth-best in Cougar all-time records. She is also listed on WSU's single season kills list with 595 in 2011 which is second-best all-time and only 54 behind leader Silvernail's 649 kills in 1996.

Internet has left newspapers and magazines behind when it comes to promoting businesses with the help of content and text. Internet gives businesses numerous platforms that can be used for marketing the business through content. This content can be in the form of images, videos, text or all of them together. This form of marketing requires business owners to hire professionals who can come up with new content on a regular basis. This content must not only be informative but interesting too, so the online visitors can take some time to read it.
The Many Ways of Marketing the Content Online
• First, the content you put on your website is probably the best marketing of your business. You can either impress your customers with this content or force them to bounce off your website. Make sure the information you provide to your customers on your website through images, videos and text is easily comprehensible and informative. This will keep them engaged and convince them to sign up for your services or buy your products.
• Content on your blog is also of extreme importance. Keep updating your blog with new information on a regular basis. The more frequently you update the content of your blog the more visitors you will have on your blog as well as on your website. You might be surprised but people prefer reading a blog over going through an official website.
• Go for guest posting as it is one of the most popular ways of marketing your business. In guest posting you write a piece on a particular topic and try to convince the runners of the most famous bloggers to post this content on their blogs. This requires you to write useful, informative and very interesting content. There is a link back to your website that's included with this guest post so the visitors who read your written post on that hosting blog are directed to your website.
• Write informative articles and have them posted on websites that are meant to provide informative articles to the common public for no fees. There are many websites that will host your content for free. However, you have to read their terms and conditions before posting the article. In most cases, you will be required to write fresh and interesting content with some additional conditions stated on the website's policies.
• You can also have your press releases posted on the website that are specifically posting press releases for businesses. These websites are extremely helpful in building business to business relationships since business owners like to read what others businesses are up to.
• One of the most effective methods of having a reputable online presence is by letting the expert reviewing websites do a review or your product or business. These experts are being followed by thousands and millions of people. These people like to get their advice before making a decision of buying something. A good review of your product can convince these customers to buy from you. LiveTransfers, for instance, is one such business referring leads to your website/business in various categories, such annuity, insurance, group healthy liver transfer leads, etc.
These are some of the most effective and commonly used methods of marketing your content. Even though there are many others ways of marketing and advertising online, content is always considered the king.

The U.S. Needs More Primary-Care Physicians
If you could change one aspect of the Affordable Care Act, what would it be?
ROBERT WACHTER: Saying that I'd fix the healthcare.gov website is like shooting fish in a barrel. Assuming that will eventually be accomplished, the ACA's main flaw is that it will result in tens of millions of Americans who now have access to primary care–but few additional primary-care clinicians to see these patients. Other health-care systems that manage to provide good care at an affordable cost have robust primary-care systems, which allow patients to get much of the preventive and acute care they need without forcing them to see more expensive specialists or to go to the hospital or emergency room. Such systems generally have about equal numbers of primary-care physicians and specialists. For several decades, the U.S. health-care system has been stamping out specialists like Apple stamps out iPhones, leading to a ratio of generalists to specialists of about 1:2.
Why has this happened? Primary-care physicians in the U.S. are paid far less than specialists, particularly those that perform procedures, and they are also underappreciated. They also have a job that is next-to-impossible to do. Try taking care of a 70-year-old patient who has half-a-dozen medical problems, who is on 10 medications, and who has three new complaints (as well as some Internet printouts she would like to discuss with you) in a 15-minute visit and you'll get the picture.
While the ACA has some provisions to increase primary-care reimbursement modestly and promote new models of primary care such as "medical homes" (in which the physician becomes a team leader for a group of clinicians working together to deliver comprehensive care), these provisions are not nearly powerful enough to drive smart medical students (or nurse practitioners for that matter) toward selecting primary-care careers over other options. The ACA's creation of far more insured patients without adequately addressing the primary-care supply is like putting 15% more cars on the road without widening the highways. The result is not terribly satisfying for anybody.
Dr. Robert M. Wachter (@Bob_Wachter) is professor and associate chairman of the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and immediate past-chairman of the American Board of Internal Medicine. He is the author of a textbook on patient safety, "Understanding Patient Safety," and blogs at www.wachtersworld.org.

Have you heard about all of the wild things they put in good old fashioned {commercial} brands of yogurt? Some contain high fructose corn syrup; others have pork-derived gelatin. If you've visited this blog before, you know I'm absolutely against the addition (and creation of) high fructose corn syrup in anything. Additionally, foods with swine are not halal (permissible).

Creme Fraiche, Figs and Honey
Honey is one of my absolute favorite food and health items. I don't consider it as just a food, but also a medicine and a beauty product. Whenever I have an upset stomach, I take a heaping tablespoon of honey and normally feel the stomach ache disappear. To soften my skin, I make my own honey facials. In baking, I use ...Read More »
Cherry Tomato and Sharp Cheddar Cheese Quiche
One of my favorite things about pie crust is that it's so versatile once you have some ideas of what to do with it. It' s a whole new tasting experience to try savory dishes using pie dough instead of just the typical (but deliciously sweet) fruit pies. Another thing I love is the technique involved in learning how to make quiche, ...Read More »

Chez Colette and Breakfast Eggs with Smoked Salmon
On a cold, blustery winter day in search of some comfort food in a warm setting, we trekked out to a French-American restaurant called Chez Colette.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey's marriage hasn't been put in the best light on the show this season, as her husband openly admitted that he was looking for another place across town, where he could go when things got too tough at home. And of course, Cynthia was worried that the next step would be him getting another lady on the side. But it sounds like she isn't turning away her sister, even though she is causing lots of controversy in the relaitonship. According to a new Bravo report published on Jan. 8, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey is now revealing that she didn't know her sister was coming, but isn't turning her down.
"We all know that I am not a big fan of surprises, and for whatever reason my life seems to be full of them. Surprise! Surprise! My sister Mal is back!!! And not only is she back, she plans on staying for a while. Like two months! Inhale. Exhale. OK, remember when Mal walked out of our anniversary party? Well, until now (and a few awkward phone calls here and there), we have not seen each other," Cynthia reveals.
And it sounds like she is good to forgive and forget, but her husband Peter didn't seem too thrilled about Malorie's return. And one can imagine he doesn't care too much about what Malorie and her husband's plans are for the future. " She has been traveling abroad with her husband Chris (he plays basketball overseas) living between Paris, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and Korea for the past two years. Initially, for the obvious reasons, I welcomed the space (not more than Peter did! LOL!). However, at the end of the day, Mal is my only sister, and I did miss her. After a while, LOL."
Do you think Cynthia is to blame for her own marital problems?

Gov. Deal signed Senate Bill 88 during a signing ceremony May 9, 2011, at Scottish Rite hospital. The measure increases the age at which a child is required to be in a car booster seat from age 6 to age 8.
The Children's government affairs department worked closely with many legislators along the way to the bill's final passage, including Sen. Jeff Mullis, Rep. Alan Powell, Rep. Tom Rice, R-Norcross, Chairman of the House Motor Vehicles Committee, and Rep. John Meadows, R-Calhoun, Chairman of the House Rules Committee.
This is the second time Children's has taken the lead on such legislation. We also served as the lead organization when the booster seat age was increased in 2004.

It's a close encounter with some of the best Zydeco between here and the moon, Ernest James Zydeco's new album, Roots Rocket Radio. The last album, Jubilee, is probably still warmly spinning in your disc changer. But hey! The new one is already here, and it's a doozie—out of this world fun.
Seems like every time Ernest James Zydeco has a show, it turns into a crayfish boil or a Mardi Gras festival, so it only makes sense that the group would come up with a kickin' album to pump everyone up into a festival atmosphere. The first song, "Zydeco Festival," is a great way to start off the new album, with a roots rockin' accordion melody that hooks you in and raises your spirits for the party to come.
The next track is "Doorstep," the kind of downhearted blues that keeps you comfortably hooked in to a rainy fall day. This song sings of love as a possibility, as a frightened hope. This one is almost Reggae, with a mournfully melodic bass line and a syncopated rhythm from the band.
The song "Honey Zydeco" is classic Zydeco and it's classic Ernest James. The liner notes verify that, as diggable as these tunes are, every single one is an original. Often, the "too good to be true" feel of a blues genre recording is a dead giveaway that the song writing is not the band's own, but Ernest James crafted each of these works with the input of the Ernest James Zydeco band and the lyrical influences of the group's spirited washboard scraper, Barry Barnes.
Track five of the album gives you the backstory to this CD, which turns out to be a sort of concept album. A full page Roots Rocket Radio poster insert reveals the backdrop:
Roots Rocket Radio is party down music with the backwoods flavor of Lousiana style blues and hip shaking zydeco.
On this release, the skits reveal that a chance encounter in the parking lot draws a group of curious U.F.O.s into a hopping juke joint. Inside, the aliens join Ernest James and his band mates for a wild time. You won't believe your ears!
The music on Roots Rocket Radio takes you to a party, a "Zydeco Festival" where everyone eats greasy food and gets down, from "grandma showing the girls how to shake it" to "The Fat Man" stuck in his chair.
With bluesy accordion leads, driving washboard and drum rhythms, and tasty guitar and bass runs, Roots Rocket Radio explores where roots zydeco goes in the 21st Century.
More of what you love about roots zydeco is driven right into the 21st century with "You're So Sweet," and the down homey feel of "Mama's in the Kitchen." Has anyone ever really been to Louisiana if they haven't tasted mama's cookin'? Speaking of whom, the most jumpin' groove on this album is track eleven, "Hey Mama," a high energy romp fit for a festival climax. And to really find out where zydeco is headed in the 21st Century, you have to hear "Doorstep Dub," a remix of an earlier track on the album. The previous EJZ album features a forward thinking dub of one of their best songs as well. And both albums are definitely worth checking out.
These songs are another beautiful example of honest roots music that never struggles to be anything it is not, music that makes you comfortable in your own skin. If you're ready for a little diversity in your blues diet, you're not sure where to go, Ernest James Zydeco has a little bit of everything good in the pot.

City Guide : Ankara
Ankara located at the Central Anatolia is the capital city of the Turkish Republic. It was the center of the war of independence between 1918-23 resulting in the establishment of Turkish Republic. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the commander of nation-wide movement and his friends leaded the Kurtulus War (Turkish War of Independence) from Ankara. Ankara being the symbol of the national movement has been the capital of Turkey in 13 October 1923. The Grand Commander Atatürk is buried at Anitkabir which is within the borders of the center of the city.
Tourist Attractions
One of the most magnificent and historical structures in Ankara that should be seen is Anitkabir, the tomb of Atatürk. Starting in 1944, the construction of the Mausoleum situated at Anittepe in Cankaya was completed in 1953. It is placed on a 750.000 m2 area.While the architectural design reflects the characteristics of its term, It also contains the characteristics of Ottoman and Seljuk motives. Anitkabir is consisted of two main units, the peace park and the memorial block (composed of route with lion, the square for ceremony and the mausoleum). Also there are 10 towers within the Anitkabir complex. They take their names from the meaningful concepts concerned with the national combat between 1918-23. Also, The Grand National Assembly of Turkey is at this district
Ankara Castle is one of the significant works adding to the cultural wealth of Ankara. It is at Altindağ, the district of Ankara. The 90% of Ankara can be watched from the castle. The history of Ankara Castle traces back to the 2nd century B.C. The castle has two doors and is consisted of 42 towers. Kalecik Castle on the way to Cankiri, 78 km away from Ankara , Gavur Castle near Haymana are both culturally and historically important for Ankara.
Beypazari, another district of the city, is one of the historically and culturally substantial parts of Ankara that you should travel if you want to fully comprehend the cultural structure of the city. Being a episcopacy center in the history, Beypazari has a history tracing back to the Hittite Empire. Ancient houses, silver work and the carrot special to the district are the reasons making Beypazarı quite different.
The existence of spring resorts is another aspect of the city. Especially, Şey Hamami is one of the most important spring resorts of Turkey. With its modern and huge parks, Ankara is also a social city. Ankara is famous with its cat, goat and rabbit.
There are many historical constructions such as museums, hamams (Turkish Baths), temples in Ankara. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations (at Altindağ), Ethnography Museum (at Namazgah), Anitkabir Atatürk Museum (at Cankaya), Roman Museum (400 m away from Ulus), Gordion Museum (at Yassihoyuk Village), Augustos Temple (at Ulus) are all among those valuable structures. Furthermore, the caves from the Byzantine period are enticing. These caves are multiple storey connected to one another via stairs.
Culture & EntertainmentThe cultural and artistic facet of Ankara reflects its condition of being the Capital of Turkey. The State Theatre, the State Opera and Ballet, the Presidential Symphonic Orchestra, the State Painting and Sculpture Museum, the countless art galleries, cultural amateur music groups, many modern parks give a novel touch to the cultural, artistic and entertainment life of the city.
The most significant cultural and entertainment activities in Ankara are Ankara International Film Festival, Ankara International Art Festival, Ankara International Cartoon Festival, Ankara International Music Festival and Asia-Europe Art Exhibition.
The Capital's much liked parks are Abdi İpekçi Park, Altin Park (Golden Park), Botany Park, Goksu Park, Kugulu Park, Mogan Park. These places are vital spaces to relax, entertain and walk about. Also, Mogan Lake is there for visitors aiming to breathe sea air.
Ankara streets are quite different with their night entertainment. Especially, within the last years, these places developed much. The Argentina Street is the city's cafes and bars street. While it is possible to taste delicious foods in the daytime you can also enjoy yourself via bars at night. The Sakarya Street is the center of cheap entertainment, especially for students. While you see people eating mostly on their feet in the day time you realize a different scene, entertainments in the bars and music parties in the street at night.
Food & DrinkWhile Ankara's cuisine comprises the Turkish traditional food motives it also has local food menu. Ornac, toyga soup, Ankara pan (meat), arabasi, bahce kebabi (garden kebab), cennet kungu (heaven kungu), batak helva are all listed under the local food list of the city. Even though a long list of soap, meat food, dessert and borek (pastry,flour food) is included within the traditional cuisine we can not say the same thing with regard to the vegetable menu.
Soaps: Keskek soup, dutmac, toyga soup...
Meat Foods: Ankara pan, calla, coban kavurma (roasted meat), orman kebab (forest kebab)...
Kofteler (meat): Kadınbudu kofte, mucirim kofte, yumurtali kofte (egg and meat)...

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The two-time defending NCAA Champion Alabama gymnastics team took time out from its normal practice routine to host nearly 100 children from the Stallings RISE Center for its annual Christmas party in the Frances Smith Practice Facility Friday afternoon.
"Every year, as the stress of the fall semester and final exams starts to build, our ladies take time out for this wonderful event," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "Everyone looks forward to it so much and it just puts a huge smile on everyone's face."
Patterson and the Crimson Tide have joined with RISE for a Christmas party for more than 20 years and have hosted the party in the UA practice facility since it opened in 1996. As always, the gymnasts and RISE students were joined by a very special guest when Santa Claus made his way to Coleman Coliseum and the practice gym.
"To have the chances to spend this time with the children from RISE is such a joy," junior Lindsay Fowler said. "Not only to see the happiness it brings them, but also to be able to see their development year-to-year, means so much to us."
The gymnasts start exams next week and will train for a few days after exams are over before heading home for Christmas break. The Tide's 2013 home season gets underway Friday, Jan. 18 against Southeastern Conference rival LSU. Season tickets can be purchased online at RollTide.com and through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262).

Mountain Man Case
Review Case Analysis Recommendations
This is a practice case that addresses whether a beer company should introduce a brand extension in response to changing competitor strategies and customer tastes. Read the case, define the problem, and identify the alternative solutions and key issues. Then complete the Mountain Man Excel spreadsheet. Start with the MMLagerDecline worksheet and fill in the key assumptions that are highlighted in yellow. Note that several assumptions are optional, for example, price changes, cost changes, etc. The spreadsheet should fill in as you enter these numbers. Constructing spreadsheets in this manner is important because it allows you to conduct "What-if" analyses by simply changing your assumptions. Be sure to complete the Summary worksheet after completing the other worksheets.
As you are working through the Mountain Man Excel spreadsheet, be sure to consider the following questions.
Key Questions
• What has made Mountain Man Lager successful (Is it successful?)? What is its competitive advantage? Who are its customers… its key competitors? What has caused Mountain Man Lager's decline in spite of its strong brand?
• What are (or should be) the objectives for Mountain Man Lager over the next 2-5 years? Is negative growth for MM Lager acceptable?
• How would introduction of MM Light affect these MM Lager objectives? Specifically, what level of cannibalization do you predict?
• What are (or should be) the marketing and financial (e.g., breakeven) objectives? Can MM Light achieve those objectives?
• Who would be the target customers & competitors for MM Light?
• What marketing capabilities are necessary to make a MM Light introduction successful? Does Mountain Man currently possess these capabilities?
Assignment: Each group should email me one copy of the Mountain Man Excel spreadsheet before the Week 3 class.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Jane Fonda's mother, Frances Seymour Brokaw, committed suicide at age 42. After Jane Fonda opened up about her mother's suicide during a TV broadcast last fall, Fonda is now examining that and other childhood memories in her new book hitting stores.
Jane Fonda previously told news that her mother's suicide perplexed her. In fall 2010, Fonda told Oprah Winfrey that the cause of death for Frances Seymour Brokaw lead Fonda on a search for answers. Brokaw was in Craig House Sanitarium for the Insane in Beacon, New York when she committed suicide.
Fonda told news her first step was to search for medical records from Craig House. Fonda's mother committed suicide when Fonda was twelve. Until Jane got the medical records, she had questioned what lead her mother to suicide.
"It changed my life… I knew it (her mother's suicide) had nothing to do with me" Fonda told news. "We have this idea that it's all our fault and my mother killed herself when I was 12. Suddenly I realized these were her issues, bless her heart."
Fonda told news that the medical records answered all her questions. Her mother was troubled, not about her children, but about years of abuse. Fonda said that, upon learning those details, she wanted to embrace her mother and forgive her.
Fonda said that abuse consumes your body. She could never understand what her mother had undergone until she got those records. "Ah, that explains so much – the promiscuity, the plastic surgery, the hating her body, all of that." In her new book "Prime Time", Fonda explains that getting old means getting better. Fonda's current boyfriend is Richard Perry, 69, a music producer.
She writes in her new book "Prime Time", that she has always envisioned herself as a source of information for her grandchildren. "Her grandchildren love to tell her stories and to hear hers because she's got some really good ones that contain sweet, hidden lessons about life. She has a conscious set of values and the knack to make them compelling to her young friends."

Commonwealth Fund Rates Hospitals Online to Spur Improvement
The nonprofit Commonwealth Fund is wading into the hospital-ratings game. At the group's new site, WhyNotTheBest.org, you can now find side-by-side comparisons of 4,500 hospitals nationwide.
Hospital-ranking programs and rating systems have proliferated in recent years, such as Leapfrog Group's safety ratings, Healthgrades's report cards, and Medicare's National Voluntary Hospital Reporting Initiative. The Commonwealth Fund's new site relies on data from Medicare's Hospital Compare Web site and from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, a survey of patients' experience in U.S. hospitals.
But Anne-Marie J. Audet, a physician who is VP of quality improvement and efficiency at the Commonwealth Fund, tells the Health Blog that the new site is meant to fill a gap: Existing report cards don't offer hospitals an easy way to compare their performance to each other or offer resources to help them improve.
Drawing an analogy to Olympic athletes, she notes:
Michael Phelps could be timing his laps, and seeing that he is getting faster, but that would not tell him whether he is ready to compete in the Olympics, unless he can compare himself to top competitors. Same with hospitals, who might be tracking their quality internally, but unless they see what the best can achieve would not know that they may have a long way to go.
The site offers tools from groups like the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and case studies of high performers, so users can network with people at the best hospitals.
Consumers can also check the site to see how hospitals in their own state, region, or city are doing. Options include a composite score or specific clinical measures, such as how often pneumonia patients are given the most appropriate antibiotics. The site also offers patient satisfaction data, such as how often patients felt they received help quickly from hospital staff. Consumers can also compare local hospitals on all the measures in deciding where to go for care.
One question, of course, is whether consumers will bother to use such a site. Studies show people tend to choose hospitals by word of mouth or based on the privileges of their personal physicians. The Commonwealth Fund's Audet says the target audience is hospitals. "We have not done consumer testing to see if this is too complicated," she says.

Injury bug bites goalie Theodore; opportunity for Clemmensen
CORAL SPRINGS Just when the injury-wracked Panthers appear to be getting a few of their banged-up forwards back on the ice, they now may face a few weeks without starting goaltender Jose Theodore.
Panthers coach Kevin Dineen is optimistic that Theodore's knee injury will be a, "short-term situation,'' however, the goaltending chores will be shared by veteran backup Scott Clemmensen and promising rookie Jacob Markstrom for at least the upcoming two-game road trip.
While Dineen is avoiding the body part in question, he admitted that the doctors needed to take more X-rays once the swelling subsides.
"We got our fingers crossed it's nothing too serious,'' Dineen said after Monday's practice at Saveology.com Iceplex. "Our doctors feel good that he'll be back in the swing of things fairly soon.''
'Fairly soon,' can certainly translate to a minimum of two weeks when it pertains to a swollen knee, particularly when the joint belongs to a goaltender.
Although the Panthers called up goaltender Brian Foster from their ECHL affiliate in Cincinnati, Markstrom will join the team before Thursday's game in New York and probably start the second game of the back-to-back set against the Devils.
Foster, 24, whose rapid improvement in the minors allowed the Panthers to deal young goaltender Tyler Plante, filled in during Monday's practice and will again on Wednesday.
"I'm progressing more every day,'' said Foster, a fifth-round pick in 2005 who's 7-1-1 with the Cyclones and 4-6 with San Antonio. "This is a dream come true.''
Markstrom, 20, who went 2-3-1 with a 2.59 goals-against-average while filling in for Clemmensen earlier this season, accompanied San Antonio of the AHL to Charlotte Monday morning. The Rampage has back-to-back road games against the Checkers, and Markstrom will play in one or both.
"Marky is definitely our goalie that's in that spot,'' Dineen said.
Theodore, 35, who was injured the second period of Saturdays' 3-2 victory over the Canadiens when teammate Dmitry Kulikov fell on top of him, is enjoying a bounce-back season since his free-agent signing last summer.
Theodore is 14-8-4 with a 2.43 GAA, or just one less victory than he amassed last season with the Wild.
Clemmensen, 34, who began the season on injured reserve after preseason knee surgery, notched 17 saves and the victory after relieving Theodore.
"Obviously, you never want to see injuries happen, especially our team right now the way the injury bug has bitten,'' said Clemmensen, who's 4-1-2 with a 3.03 GAA. "For me hopefully, it's an opportunity to get some starts and get some consistency going.''
Samuelsson and Goc will travel
Panthers forwards Mikael Samuelsson (tailbone) and Marcel Goc (concussion), who have missed the last five and 22 games respectively, will travel with the team to New York.
"I'm really excited about them. Every day has been a real positive step,'' Dineen said.
Samuelsson said he's playing Thursday, while Goc is still questionable.
Barch inquiry on hold
Panthers forward Krys Barch, who was ejected from Saturday's game for an unconfirmed, alleged racial slur toward Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban, practiced, but left before the media was allowed in the dressing room.
Because the NHL wanted the focus on Monday's Winter Classic game in Philadelphia, Barch's inquiry was put off until Tuesday.
Dineen said the organization had an internal meeting to discuss the issue.
"It's not a cloud [hanging on the team],'' Dineen answered. "It's something we're all sensitive to. Anytime you're put in a situation where you're under league review, you want to make sure to respect that process.''
Barch's teammates have rallied around him.
"We support him. He's a great guy and he meant nothing by it,'' said Kris Versteeg, who was excited about attending his first Miami Heat game Monday night. "It's a highly emotional game … it's what people perceive it to be.
"A lot gets said, but generally it's never personal stuff. I never heard anyone really cross the line, but it gets blown out of proportion by the media.''

It has amazing acoustics, a three-storey proscenium and 35 rows of seating, from the top of which the view takes in the whole of this monumental structure accommodating 8 000 people. The Islamic period citadel that was built around it in the 13C has assured its survival. An unforgettable experience!
