Editor: Sunday's editorial regarding helping the county administrator with the upcoming county budget is nonsense.
I would say no more than 12-15 people that work for the county understand the total complexities of putting together a county budget. St. Johns County, like all other governments in Florida, operates under a government accounting standard. When I read that the county administrator wants the public to give him ideas, I have to laugh. If county employees are limited in their knowledge of the county budget, how in the world is the public expected to give advice? It is my experience that this is a ploy by one or two county commissioners to curry favor from the public.
I could give the county administrator two pieces of advice. One, do something about the debt service of the county.
With gas taxes and sales tax revenue declining, the debt service will put pressure on a tax increase. The second bit of advice would be to cut your budget office in half. Of all the bloated offices in county government, that is probably the most.

R&R Partners
Creating, Building and Protecting Brands
One of the most iconic, successful ad campaigns of our time, "What happens here, stays here" has delivered record-breaking visitor volume and encouraged millions to claim a slice of Las Vegas adult freedom for themselves. Last year the campaign generated more than a half billion dollars in earned media value for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).
The agency behind these remarkable results is marketing communications firm R&R Partners.
"We grew out of political campaigns on both sides of the aisle," explains Mary Ann Mele, president, chief brand officer and principal at R&R Partners. "Elections force you to be nimble and capitalize on every weapon in your arsenal. This is also where we developed our philosophy of creating, building and protecting brands. You might call it our mantra." …Read More

Broadway Actress Fights Off Attacker in Central Park
She beat him with her purse before he stole it.
A Broadway actress out for a drink after performing in a play Monday night reportedly fell into conversation with a man who later attacked her as they strolled into Central Park. As her assailant climbed on top of her, "the actress beat him with her handbag until the suspect grabbed the purse and fled into the night," DNAinfo reports. The Daily News says police are looking for a "shirtless creep" but he's probably put something on by now.

Liquid foundation tends to be a pretty bad idea in the winter. Why? Your skin gets super dry, so liquid foundation settles into cracks and lines, showing off every parched pore and every wrinkle. Bobbi Brown Extra SPF 25 Tinted Moisturizing Balm ($50) glides onto dry skin and injects some serious moisture, thanks to glycerin, shea butter, vitamin A, and natural plant extracts. You get light coverage, SPF, and moisturizing power in one product.

As a full service company, Boston Plumbing is ready to take on any job. It doesn't matter if you're remodeling and need kitchen and bath fixtures installed, your indoor heating is not keeping you warm during the winter, or you have burst pipes and clogged drains. We're here to fix, install or maintain all of the workings of your home to make sure you can pay attention to the other important things in your life. Check out a full list of what our plumbers in Boston can do for you.
The kitchen and bathrooms are two rooms you use every day, so fixtures in these rooms must be functioning properly in order for you to carry on with life. In the kitchen, you have water and gas piping that leads to your sink, stove and refrigerator, and your sink may have a garbage disposal. In the bathroom, your toilets, faucets, showers and sinks all have parts such as septic tanks, faucets and temperature control handles you depend on for daily use. In some cases, kitchens and baths especially, you'll encounter clogged drains, burst pipes and other misfortunes. For this reason, we have our own emergency plumbers ready to help you at a moment's notice.
You probably spend several hours in other rooms such as your family room, living room or game rooms, if you have one. Internal temperature can vary over long periods of time, and that's where your HVAC comes in. Air conditioning and heating are an important part of your daily life, whether you realize it or not. Each time you adjust your thermostat, your HVAC systems are at work. If you need these systems installed or fixed, we can send our very own Boston plumber to do the job.

Marathon for Peace 2009
"If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud." - Arlo Guthrie, Alice's Restaurant, 1967
Dear family & friends,
I started raising my voice against U.S. wars a little bit before I first heard Arlo Guthrie's inspiring antiwar ballad. But as most of you know, I can't really carry a tune. I am much better at putting one foot in front of the other, whether it's in a peace march or (since 1995) in a marathon race. So again this year my version of "singing loud" will be to run a Marathon for Peace, and I'm writing to ask for your support.
A lot has changed since 1967. One thing that hasn't is U.S. involvement in dirty colonial wars and reliance on militarism to try to push the rest of the world around. It was a pleasure to see naked war-mongering and overt racism take a big hit in the 2008 election. But a grassroots movement clamoring LOUDLY for peace is still needed if we are going to end today's updated versions of Vietnam-era colonialism and brutality from Afghanistan to Gaza to Honduras and cut the bloated military budget to meet pressing human needs.
With a new phase of grassroots movement building in mind, I will be running 26.2 miles in the Cape Cod Marathon October 25 to support the antiwar institution I've worked with the last eight years, War Times/Tiempo de Guerras. You can check out War Times materials, including my recent Month in Review column ("Long Peace Movement Needs a Noisy Next Phase") at
This will be my 26th Marathon and the fourth year in a row I've run a Marathon for Peace. Age and wear-and-tear on the body are slowing me down, plus the Cape Cod course will be the hilliest one I've run yet. So matching my 2006 Marathon for Peace time of 3 hours, 54 minutes is not in the cards. I hope instead to come in somewhere between my 4:09 finish in Marathon for Peace 2007 (just after I turned 60) and my 4:17 time in New York City last year. I'll have some special incentive with my partner Ellen and her Mom waiting for me at the finish line, and my son James - having a great first year at Boston College - pacing me the last few miles when that extra boost is needed most.
Whatever my pace, I'll have maximum motivation with your help and support. You can pitch in by donating a dollar (or more) for each mile of the Marathon to help build a noisy and persistent antiwar movement. All donations are tax-deductible, you can donate on-line at
or send a check to War Times, P.O. Box 22748, Oakland CA 94609.
It is a blessing and a source of hope to be connected to so many wonderful people who are making a difference. Thanks in advance: please sing loud and dig deep for peace.

Corpus Cristi
A number of people who claim to have gotten a glimpse of hell describe the sufferings of the damned as directly related to their sins. Moreover, the people in hell suffer agonizing torments in their very flesh, but they can never die. For example, if a woman died having had abortions without repenting for it, she would suffer tortures in her womb. And people who harbored bitter hate towards someone were tormented in their heart, literally. Furthermore, the people who saw hell affirm that the fallen angels- who nowadays go by names such as "guiding spirits"- are the ones who are in charge of the tormenting.
Now, one may recall that Jesus took on the sins of mankind upon his own body and died to win over salvation for all who avail themselves of it. Adding to this that Jesus, being God, never sinned, it is interesting to ponder about the meaning of the wounds he suffered in his Passion. After all, although many saints attest to this, it is not hard to imagine that his human tormentors were diabolically inspired. So if Jesus never sinned, what might it mean that chunks of his flesh were scourged off? What were the offenses of Jesus?
To start with, Jesus told all his followers to eat his flesh. When they realized that he was serious, many left him (John 6: 55, 60-61, 66). And although his apostles did not understand how this could be, their conviction as to his Messiahship kept them from deserting him like the rest. So the flesh of Jesus was pounded thousands of times and cruelly scourged. For, how dare this man feed his flesh to other people..?
Jesus also wore a crown of thorns. How could this virtue and commandment-loving, hypocrite-scolding, non-pretentious, miracle working exorcist nobody think that he can rub elbows with truly sophisticated royalty and claim kingship? Certainly those thorns must have caused intense headache and mental anguish. Didn't this same non-schooled peasant go by "teacher" and seemed to know everything, even using the same teaching seats as the illustrious scribes and teachers of the law in the temple?
Boy did this man cause trouble, traveling all over the Jewish territory, bringing attention to himself. And those hands of his, which he used to touch people with, healing and comforting them, winning them over for himself. He surely deserved to have them fixed in place with nice big nails, so he can finally stop all that nonsense.
Oh how he tormented many with the words coming out of his mouth, saying this and that are sins and must be stopped, speaking of God as if he knew him intimately, addressing the crowds, talking to anyone who would approach him. But slaps and punches weren't enough. That bitter vinegar wine on his parched and cracked lips was the perfect touch.
So he comforted many? So the sorrowing found a welcoming shoulder to rest on? But let them try to lean on his shoulder now, right there on that spot where the cross tore into his flesh, rubbing against his bone at every single step. Who needs a shoulder to cry on now?
Love God and your neighbor as yourself. Love the sinner into repentance. Love the despised and the losers, the insignificant and especially the tiny, bratty children. Where is all that life-blood now, the instrument of his love? Spilled on the road to the cross, gushing out of his heart, defeated by a lance with a single thrust, no longer beating, his very heart.
Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
And so Jesus Christ gave up his body and blood... and it accomplished its goal; it merited salvation- but not just salvation, also our respect, our love and our zeal. And so we Catholics celebrate every year the feast of Corpus Cristi, the ceremony that is meant to remind us of what Jesus said we are to eat at every mass, his very body and blood, recognizing in it at the same time his soul and divinity.
All Christians in fact are invited to celebrate the love of Christ for his creation, made manifest in the life of Jesus, all he taught and all he suffered, out of pure love.

Dell gives you $25 to pick up the Motorola Droid X for Verizon
We're used to saying that, as far as deals are concerned, there's no price better than free. Well, consider the following scenario: what if, apart from not having to pay for something, you'd also receive $25 for your effort?
That's exactly what Dell is proposing, should you opt to get yourself a Motorola Droid X for Verizon. Two caveats do apply, though. First is the fact that you must be a new customer, and sign a 2-year contract. The second is that the $25 comes in the form of a gift card from Dell, but hey, it's still good to have, and makes this deal officially "better than free".
As usual when activating a new smartphone, you'll have to get a data plan, the cheapest one being one cent short of $30 per month. And if you are already a Verizon customer, you can get the Droid X for $49.99, which isn't a bad deal either, considering that this still is a high-end smartphone even by today's standards. And you'll still get the $25 gift card.
So head over to Dell to take advantage of this offer, since it's only going to be available until the end of this month.

I have to admit that since moving on my Chord prototype Siggy, and secondly, Frontfloaters jumpers, ( the removal of which seemed to be the final nail in the coffin as far as the top frequencies were concerned) It slowly dawned on me that all was not right as far as top end is concerned in my set up.
I had until yesterday, gone with running the VDH CS122 through the speaker binding posts, and persuaded myself that the sound was as good as it ever was, except eventually I realized some of the top end sparkle had gone.
Now sooner than call Alfie and ask him to sell me my jumpers back, (which he seems to be very pleased with) I improvised, and thanks to Mark at 7blokes, it cost me nowt as he had a short 6" piece of the newest incarnation of the cable that most here(me included) have slagged off.
Im sure you know which cable Im referring to, but, it has brought back that sparkle to my system, which to my ears over the last few weeks has sounded "bland n dull!"

WP-CMS Post Control plugin v2.1.2 released
No comments · Posted by Jonny in WP-CMS WordPress Plugins
I released version 2 of my WordPress plugin WP-CMS Post Control in March 2010, which was a complete re-write of the original functionality to bring it upto WordPress 2.9 compatibility. You should note that Post Control v2.x is designed to work with WordPress 2.9 and above ONLY, if you are using an older version of WordPress, there is no better time to upgrade!
Since then I have gone through a few point revisions catching bugs and adding the last few parts of the previous versions functionality, which is now complete.
You can always download the latest stable version from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/

Verizon's first LTE phone to be launched in February. Is it the HTC Merge, or the Incredible HD?
Although Verizon's ready to switch on its LTE / 4G network before the year's end, the carrier's first LTE phones will only be available next year.
According to The Wall Street Journal, which recently interviewed Ivan Seidenberg (Verizon's CEO), the very first Verizon LTE phone should be launched sometime in February 2011.
Before that, the carrier plans to showcase some of its LTE devices at CES in January.
We've recently heard that the HTC Merge and the HTC Incredible HD would be among Verizon's first LTE smartphones, so either of the two may be out in February.
Of course, Verzizon could also surprise everyone and launch a handset made by other company (Samsung and Motorola come to mind).

Casper Food Critic- Wyoming Burger Company Leaves Much To Be Desired [OPINION]
A note from the editor: The following is an original review from the "Casper Food Critic." The purpose of this review is to offer a single consumer's opinion about an establishment's food and service. At K2 Radio, we believe anonymity to be of paramount importance - this is to ensure that the Casper Food Critic receives the same quality food and service as any other customer. We encourage you, the reader, to join the conversation and leave your own reviews in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
What could I do? As a red blooded American, how could I turn down the allure of a restaurant that specialized in burgers? My buddies and I watched with eyes agape as we drove by the new Wyoming Burger Company and their big sign. We counted down the days until we could munch some excellent Wyoming beef. Little did we know, we would end up longing for the heavily processed meat of even the crappiest fast food dive.

On May 6 Vanity Fair released a portion of their official interview with Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Lewinsky has broken her silence after 10 years under the radar. Lewinsky shares her hopes that her openness will finally help her keep her past behind her so that she can finally move forward with her life.
Lewinsky began her internship at the White House in 1995 in which she shared her account of multiple sexual encounters with former President Bill Clinton. The "inappropriate behavior" that the president eventually admitted to subsequently lead to his impeachment in 1999.
Lewinsky, 40, decided that it was time to speak up due speculations that she was paid by Clinton to remain silent when in fact she states, it is time to stop "tiptoeing around my past—and other people's futures".
Lewisky claims that her life has been permanently altered from the humiliation she felt after the news of the affair became public. Lewinsky shares that it has been difficult maintaining steady work due to her reputation. Companies did not want to risk tarnishing their name because of Lewinsky's history.
Lewinsky shared with Vanity Fair, "I've decided, finally, to stick my head above the parapet so that I can take back my narrative and give a purpose to my past". Lewisnky makes it clear that she is uncertain what will come of her resurfacing and digging so deep into the past but she reveals that she is finally ready to find out.
Lewinsky has resided in multiple cities in the U.S. until moving to London and earning a Masters degree in Social Psychology at the London School of Economics. In 1999 Lewinsky cooperated with author Andrew Morton in his writing of Monica's Story which is a biography of Lewinky's life and tells her side of the infamous affair between her and Clinton.
Lewinsky's full interview with Vanity Fair will be available in digital on May 8. The magazines will hit stands on May 13 nationally.

When you are driving, the tag hangs on the rear-view mirror. When you stop, you take the baby out and put the tag in the car seat.
AUSTIN, TX (KXAN) – It won't be long before Central Texas begins experiencing triple-digit heat. Kids are left in hot cars all too often, but a new tool could save your child's life.
No parent thinks it could happen to them, but in August 2009 a baby was found dead inside a hot car in the parking lot of Freescale Semiconductor. A father forgot to drop off his 18-month-old son at daycare.
In April 2012, a 1-year-old Austin girl died after she was accidentally left in her father's hot truck.
An Austin woman, whose child died in a hot car, said accidents like these can be prevented.
Stories like these struck a chord with another Austin mom.
"There were actually three children that died in one week in New Orleans," said Meaghan Eckhardt, creator of Don't Forget Baby. "It was the summer of 2011, and it just hit me in my core."
Eckhardt now lives in Austin and came up with a way to help parents keep their kids in the forefront of their mind.
When you are driving, the tag hangs on the rear-view mirror. When you stop, you take the baby out and put the tag in the car seat.
If a passerby sees this tag hanging in a parked car, they know something might be wrong. For Meaghan, there are plenty of times it could come in handy.
She said it is not the sign of a bad parent, but rather a proactive one.

Slowly but surely, teen actress Kathryn Bernardo is making her name bigger and brighter in the industry. Her team up with Daniel Padilla is really exciting and extra ordinary because they can easily shudder their fans and supporters effortlessly. As of this morning, Feb. 4, 2014 (Philippine time), they're still doing Got To Believe, one of the top rating TV series of ABS-CBN, but based on the latest and updated report, they will also be doing a movie this year.
A movie version of the book She's Dating The Gangster will be their biggest movie this year according to ABS-CBN. Obviously, they are the hottest stars in the backyard of the biggest network in the country because aside from their top rating TV series, they have also given the chance to star in another movie this year.
With the success that they are enjoying right now, some people say Daniel and Kathryn are the younger version of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz not only because of their blockbuster movies and TV appearances but also because of their undeniable popularity and chemistry on and off the screen.

Aside from her scheduled performances on ASAP 19 every Sunday, Sarah Geronimo is also doing her projects with John Lloyd Cruz and Coco Martin.

Jennifer Leigh
Wilmington, Delaware
"I'm the type of girl who feels women should be proud of our curves and inner beauty, and I hope that eventually, the fashion industry starts lowering its standards on stick-like thinness."
- Jennifer Leigh, on her posing for Playboy.
Jennifer Leigh is a professional poker player with some impressive wins (and winnings). She's also posed for FHM and Playboy.
Jennifer Leigh BiographyJennifer Leigh was born on August 10, 1983, in Wilmington, Delaware. From a very young age, she took to computers, admitting to reading Linux manuals and having up to six machines on her desk. She started getting into role-playing video games, and at 11 or 12 years old, she chose the hacker name Jennicide, building characters on EverQuest and World of Warcraft.
She attended university and majored in pre-law when she was first introduced to online poker at 18 years old. "I didn't even want to download the software because I wasn't yet 21 years old," she said, not knowing the legal gambling age was 18. "I won my first $5 sit and go, which became my starting bankroll."
Intrigued by her beginner's luck, she went out and bought several books on poker and began studying hand histories.
jennifer leigh plays poker royale's battle of the agesBy 2004, Jennifer Leigh became the highest-ranked female in tournaments, coming in at an impressive No. 47 on the PokerStars tournament board. Those in the poker world began to sit up and take notice of this budding beauty and, in July 2005, Jennifer Leigh was invited by GSN to play in <i>Poker Royale</i>'s Battle of the Ages along with pros such as Barbara Enright, Dan Harrington and T.J. Cloutier. After four tournaments, which were televised, she ended up beating Dan Harrington and taking home almost $16,000.
Next, Jennifer Leigh moved up to the 100/200 level, and in September 2005, she ranked No. 9 in the World Championship of Online Poker, pocketing 10 grand in the hold'em event. She followed that up by placing 42nd at the World PokerTour PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January 2006, taking home another $13,500.

Fisker Hybrid cars are coming to the GCC and Egypt through the UAE based Al-Futtaim group. They're opening the region's first Fisker dealership in Dubai's Festival City at the end of this year.
The Fisker is famous for its Karma car, the most luxurious electrical\gasoline hybrid car on the market.
The Karma is an expensive car. It starts in the States at around $100 thousand and goes up to $120 thousand, which I think is a high price to pay just to be slightly more environmentally friendly.
GCC gas prices are extremely cheap, so the Karma's features of being electrically charged and sun powered are not that attractive. Especially in a region where there's hardly anyone who cares about the environment to begin with. But if our young people think of it's a cool car to own and an awesome one to drive, then yeah, it could sell well in the GCC.

Qatar just arrested the Egyptian accountant who embezzled and stole close to KD 4 million from PHFS (Patients Helping Funds Society) in 2006. The criminal is being extradited to Kuwait, and will start his 7-year jail sentence.
PHFS is one of the biggest health charities in Kuwait, and is responsible for the management of huge amount of charity money. This theft casted a very dark shadow over the legitimacy of its operations and over their work procedures. A lot of people stopped handing out money to them, for fear of the money will lose its way and get in the hands of thieves and criminals.
I'm glad we finally caught this guy, but still wish that his sentence included he pay back what he stole, or for him to rote in jail till he does. Plus, it is kinda of sad (and embarrassing) to know that he wasnfreely living his life, was out and about going here and travelling there.
How in the hell was he not afraid of us, of the sentence hanging over him by a country like Kuwait. If they had cough him somewhere far, like in the jungles of South America or the slumps of Asia, then it might be a little easier to absorb. But to catch in in neighbouring Qatar is, frankly, very shameful to our police system.

Technology Meets Art: Seven On Seven
We don't really know where inspiration comes from. The idea that hits you like a brick thrown out a speeding car, smashing into your head behind your left ear, and leaving you dazed at the side of 7th avenue. Or late at night, when you are looking at some screen mock ups for the 7 zillionth time, and all of a sudden you know exactly how wrong this approach, but you also know a better way to model it.
This sartori, this epiphany, is something we generally associate with artists: the painter daubing a canvas madly in her garret, or the pianist scribbling eighth notes. But the selfsame creative spark occurs time and time again in technology, and so the artist and the software designer are close cousins, not living in worlds apart.
That understanding is, I guess, what has motivated the upcoming Seven On Seven project, organized by Rhizome, paring seven technologists with seven artists:
These cross connections between the NYC art world and the burgeoning tech scene are a fascinating aspect of what makes NYC a unique place for tech to evolve, and art, too, for that matter.
I hope to be in attendance when the results are unveiled on 17 April, at the New Museum.

LeBron James has been simply brilliant this season, averaging 27.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game, and shooting a career-best 52.9 percent from the field. And his current player efficiency rating of 30.54 is one of the best marks of all time.
So will he take home his third MVP trophy this season? How about his first defensive player of the year award or first Finals MVP award? Let's debate!
1. LeBron vs. the field: 2011-12 Most Valuable Player.
Israel Gutierrez, ESPN.com: When you consider complete body of work, it has always been LeBron. Not only did he have easily the best first half of the season, but he has excelled with Dwyane Wade out and has had impressive moments of late. Kevin Durant, meanwhile, has picked a bad time to be erratic.
Tom Haberstroh, Heat Index: LeBron. He might not have the most compelling narrative, but his individual dominance is simply too great this season. His lead in PER is the largest we've seen in more than a decade. Kevin Durant has faded, the Heat are chasing the league's top record and hard feelings from the Decision have thawed. Another regular-season award is in store.
Beckley Mason, ESPN.com: I'll take LeBron because as far as I can tell, "the field" here just means Kevin Durant. If the Thunder don't win the top seed in the West, I think Durant's case takes a significant hit. Miami and OKC have nearly identical records, and I don't think there's an individual statistical case for Durant. If LeBron turns in one more signature performance, that should lock it up.
Chris Palmer, ESPN The Magazine: For the past few weeks I've been going back and forth between LeBron and Kevin Durant for MVP. It's an impossibly tight race, but the trophy will go to James. Durant's having a career year across the board, but save for a brief cool spell in March, LeBron has been otherworldly. And if voters consider James' superior defense, it's an easy decision.
David Thorpe, ESPN.com: LeBron. I can't account for the voters, so I'll make my own argument. LeBron has better partners (but not by much) in Wade and Chris Bosh compared to Durant (Russell Westbrook and James Harden), but if Miami's Big Three played alongside the rest of the Thunder and Durant's trio were in Miami, OKC would have won 50-plus games this season. I don't think anyone is in LeBron's class.
2. LeBron vs. the field: 2011-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Gutierrez: Definitely the field. Not only does it require vigilant examination of LeBron's defensive efforts to recognize his greatness at that end of the floor, but others like Serge Ibaka and Tony Allen simply can afford to be defensive specialists, collecting stats and reputations. Giving LeBron this award, though, would be a credit to attentive voters.
Haberstroh: The field. If Dwight Howard isn't going to win it again, who will get his votes? Probably another big man. With the Knicks grabbing headlines for their defense, Tyson Chandler probably (and deservedly) will generate big support. Kevin Garnett will be there, too. LeBron could win it, but the Heat needed to be the top defense for him to be the favorite. And they're not.
Mason: The field. James has had a DPOY-worthy season, but Tyson Chandler's impact on the Knicks franchise is a perfect narrative of improvement for voters to latch on to come award season.
Palmer: LeBron is the most complete defender in the NBA. The award is his. From locking down point guards in crucial moments to sprinting back on defense to stop the ball or swat it from behind, there's little that he doesn't do. But there's nothing better than LeBron playing passing lanes like a cornerback and intercepting a skip pass before taking it the other way for the highlight finish. Thing of beauty.
Thorpe: The field. There are a number of players who have impact in a game similar to LeBron's. Guards, wings and bigs. Is LeBron better on defense than KG, Joakim Noah, Ray Allen, Chandler, Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand? Yes, but it's close enough that someone else can win it.
3. LeBron vs. the field: 2012 NBA Finals MVP.
Gutierrez: After last year? Come on, now. This could be LeBron versus the Heat roster, and LeBron still wouldn't be the choice. That's not to say it couldn't happen. It's just that LeBron has no history of coming up large in this particular series, so what's the point of going against the odds?
Haberstroh: The field. Always pick the field for Finals MVP. Especially when leader-closer-captain-winner-heart-soul Dwyane Wade is on your team. There are too many variables at play to pencil in LeBron, and I wouldn't even label him as the Finals MVP favorite on his team.
Mason: The field. Even if the Heat win a title, he'll have serious competition in teammate and 2006 Finals MVP Dwyane Wade. I would take James' odds over Wade's and the field over both.
Palmer: If the Heat make it to the Finals and win, LeBron would be far from a lock for Finals MVP. I'd say it's a 50-50 toss-up between him and Dwyane Wade. Wade comes alive on the big stage and already has one award in his pocket. But it's like this: If LeBron dominates fourth quarters, it's his.
Thorpe: The field by a mile. Even forgetting last year's meltdown, the best player in the world does not have to be the most valuable player of a seven-game series. When Boston won the title a few years ago, Garnett, Allen and Rajon Rondo all had moments when they were clearly the best players in multiple games or even an entire series. Then Pierce served that role in the last series. If Miami wins a ring, Wade could easily be its leading scorer in the Finals or be the difference-maker in two, three or all four wins.
4. LeBron vs. the field: Best player of his generation (2003 to '12).
Gutierrez: "Best" is tricky. If it were "most gifted" or "most well-rounded," LeBron would be the choice each time. But "best," to me, means a player you're downright scared to face. And even for most of the past 10 years, that player has remained Kobe Bryant. And regardless of when Kobe's career ends, he'll be considered as being in the same generation as LeBron.
Haberstroh: The field. We're talking the prime years of Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant here! It's a slightly unfair comparison since LeBron has barely even hit his prime. LeBron probably will overtake them when it's all said and done. But here's a stat for you: Since LeBron broke into the league, Kobe Bryant has 230 more total MVP votes than LeBron (4,542 vs. 4,312).
Mason: LeBron. A reasonable person could argue that LeBron has been the best player in the NBA since he led the Cavs to the Finals at only 21. But the reason I'd take LeBron is that he's still getting better and he's been the most influential player of his generation off the court as well.
Palmer: From 2003 to 2012, Kobe Bryant has been the NBA's best player with four Finals appearances, three scoring crowns, two titles, an MVP award and seven appointments to the all-NBA first team. James is the best player who has come into the league since 2003, but he takes a backseat to Kobe, who's arguably the best player of any generation.
Thorpe: The field, but that can change if Miami wins it all in June. Kobe's rings and Finals MVP awards edge out Bron's "best player on Earth in the regular season."
5. LeBron, Kobe or Kareem: All-time points leader.
Gutierrez: Which is more likely, Kobe (33 years old) averaging about 23 points a game and playing an average of 80 games for another five years, or LeBron (27) going the next 10 seasons averaging about 24 per and playing almost every game? Both seem feasible, but Kobe has a longer injury history. So I'll take LeBron.
Haberstroh: LeBron. But that's so, so far away. LeBron has 2,000 points on Kobe at this age and about 5,000 points on Kareem. LeBron is wayyyy ahead of pace right now, which will make it much easier to eventually catch Kareem, who played until he was about 63 years old.
Mason: Kareem. I don't see LeBron making it a priority to play long enough to break this record (he's not even halfway to Kareem's mark), and Kobe needs at least four more seasons of stellar play to catch him. I probably shouldn't bet against Bryant, but I doubt even his body can sufficiently resist eroding against the NBA grind.
Palmer: At 38,387 career points, no one will touch Kareem. Kobe is still about 9,000 away, so he'll need to average about 27 points per game over the next four years while playing in all 82 games. Having been in the league since he was 17, his body won't likely hold up. While he can score with the best, LeBron looks to pass too often to become the all-time points leader.
Thorpe: Kareem. Being that tall and having the perfect weapon were huge advantages. Playing with the best passing guard ever helped him pile up points when his body otherwise would have struggled to do so. Neither wing player has or likely will have that kind of setup man, and therefore must manufacture points against the teeth of the defense nightly. It will get harder and harder for them to score.

KUALA LUMPUR: Independent singles shuttler Zulfadli Zulkiffli has his international assignments all planned out for the next two months.
And he is on a wing and a prayer that it will not clash with Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM)'s selection trial for the Thomas Cup Finals in May in New Delhi.
Zulfadli, who is currently sponsored by Red Bull, will be taking part in the Austria International Challenge from Feb 19-22 in Vienna, All-England (March 4-9), Swiss Open (March 12-17) and the Malaysian Open Grand Prix Gold (March 25-30) in Johor Baru.
BAM have yet to fix a date although they had announced earlier that they would hold an open trial to give independent shuttlers a shot at making the cut for the world team event.
KUALA LUMPUR: The movement of the national coaches and players at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara is being closely monitored.
Since Feb 4, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have installed a thumbprint attendance system that requires coaches and players to clock in and out every day as they enter and leave the national training centre.
The move is to monitor the attendance of the coaches and players as the management does not want them to go AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave) during training or to turn up late for their practice sessions.
KUALA LUMPUR: Have national men's doubles shuttler Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong lost their motivation to play?
All indicators point that way if their string of misfortunes are anything to go by.
On Thursday, Kien Keat suffered another blow in his bid to revive his flagging career. He had to request for time off from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) after the recurrence of an eye infection.
It now requires immediate laser treatment, which he hopes to get done on Monday.
This means, Kien Keat will miss a scheduled physical test, which is being planned by the National Sports Institute (NSI) next week.
KUALA LUMPUR: It's curtains down for Malaysia's top pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong.
On Saturday, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) council decided to stop the under-performing duo, who have been together for seven years, from going for any more tournaments.
A decision will be made later to either split or drop them from the national set-up.
BAM are disappointed with the world No. 6 ranked Kien Keat-Boon Heong's performances in the ongoing Maybank Malaysian Open at the Putra Stadium.
On Wednesday, the 2010 Malaysian Open winners crashed out in the opening round to China's Chai Biao-Hong Wei – extending their agonising four-year Super Series title drought.
BUKIT JALIL: Buck up, BAM!
That is the loud and clear message that Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin is sending to the Badminton Association of Malaysia leadership under Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff.
On Thursday, Khairy voiced his dissatisfaction with the BAM management and players, questioning why a country with a wealth of talents still depended on just one player - world No. 1 men's singles shuttler Lee Chong Wei.
Khairy believes that the current leadership under Tengku Mahaleel is not addressing the issue head-on.
BUKIT JALIL: Japan chief coach Park Joo-bong will be the first one to protest if the Badminton World Federation (BWF) were to offer a wild card again to five-time world champion Lin Dan of China for this year's World Championships.
Last year, Lin Dan was awarded the wild card despite missing international tournaments for almost a year. But the men's singles maestro showed his prowess by beating Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei for his fifth crown at his homeground – Guangzhou.
Joo-bong said that the world body's decision last year proved controversial as many felt that it was unfair.
THE BA of Malaysia's (BAM) generous world ranking incentive and match bonus will only bear fruit if the national shuttlers cultivate a desire to achieve success.
Former international Wong Choong Hann, who enjoyed the benefits of the world ranking incentive and match bonus during his playing days, feels that the onus is on the players to earn quality results rather than settling for the minimum perks offered by BAM.
Choong Hann was one of the earliest players to receive as high as RM45,000 quarterly for being ranked among the top two in the men's singles and had also raked in lucrative match bonuses by consistently reaching the finals of grand prix events.
LEE Chong Wei may have won nearly RM1 million in prize money last year but cash, it seems, does not motivate the other national players.
Or it could be that the players are easily satisfied and if that is the case, it has surely got to do with the BA of Malaysia's world ranking and match bonuses.
Chong Wei was the only Malaysian shuttler in the top 50 prize money earners list last year as several other national players have been enjoying BAM's world ranking incentive scheme without even winning an international title for years.
Under the BAM scheme, players ranked in the top 16 in the men's singles and top 12 in the other disciplines are eligible for quarterly bonuses.
The men's singles and doubles can earn up to RM34,000 and RM33,000 respectively every three months for remaining in the top two positions.
KUALA LUMPUR: A desperate Goh Liu Ying went to Kelantan at the behest of Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff to seek help from a traditional healer to recover from a right knee injury.
For the 24-year-old Liu Ying, the traditional method is another option to consider before she makes a decision whether to go under the knife.
A surgery could put her out of action for about four to eight months and jeopardise her mixed doubles partnership with Chan Peng Soon. There are a number of major tournaments this year – the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow from July 21-Aug 4, World Championships in Copenhagen from Aug 25-31 and Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, from Sept 28-Oct 5.

In the run up to Christmas it would have been easy to overlook the recommendations by Mary Portas in her recently published report The Portas Review: an independent review into the future of our high streets.
The fashion guru was asked to conduct an independent review last May by David Cameron and Nick Clegg as part of the government's work on the growth agenda and her findings were unveiled on 12 December.
One of Mary's recommendations in particular has received the backing of the Freight Transport Association (FTA); it suggests that night-time delivery restrictions could be lifted as one way to reinvigorate the UK's ailing high streets.
As Gordon Telling, the FTA's head of urban policy, points out: "Our high streets rely on vans and trucks to stay open for business, but the Portas Review shows that excessive delivery restrictions have held back business growth.
"By allowing van and truck operators to deliver out-of-hours we will see improvements in congestion levels and air quality, less wasted fuel and more reliability built into our supply chains.
"The reduced peak-time traffic should also serve to make the high street more desirable for shoppers."
And with London hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer there is the opportunity to examine the benefits that night-time deliveries offer in a time-critical situation.
Transport for London has already published very detailed 'hotspot' information to help businesses prepare to operate normally in the build-up to and during the Games, so allowing businesses to accept deliveries during 'out-of-hours' would make sense and make the most of a one-off opportunity.
Such a move would also give a much needed boost to a delivery sector that has been under the cosh in recent times.
There are currently 53594 businesses listed in Link2Portal.

I have been eying it since I first saw it in the store and and we finally bought it for our office. I love everything about it. The chair is just a little sitting chair. It's not the kind of chair you would curl up and take a nap on. But it is comfortable and the fabric is super smooth. I want to rub my face all over it. We have never bought a colorful piece of furniture before but this chair is just the right amount of color and has a unique shape. The only drawback is that there are these little plastic circles on the bottom of the legs that were digging into our hardwood floor. So we removed them and added pieces of felt to the wooden legs instead. Works great and doesn't leave any marks now. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue108 Great color and comfort This chair is a beautiful color! Looks exactly the same as the photo. Very comfortable and at a great price. We love it!! January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by memememe it's lovely feels good; fairly easy to assemble; i just thought it would be bigger. January 4, 2014

Currency Peg Causes 50% Surge In Swiss National Bank Balance Sheet, Major FX Losses
- Printer-friendly version
- Oct 2, 2011 5:31 PM
- 56
Hildebrand, you crazy little Keynesian, you deserve that and a middle finger.
Teach them little Gnomes to fuck with my Swissy positions.
Throw them the hairy end of the lollipop as they sink into Lake Geneva.
Modern Day Lesson: Never, ever have a central bank as a counter-party anymore.
what do you expect from a guy with a degree in international relations?
Personally, I cant wait to see another "rogue" trader blow up.
Right about now he's realizing he's fucked... and he's doubling down... for the second time...
Give it a week before TSHTF...
Safe heaven: Switzerland. </sarc>
Switzerland has really changed a lot. Pity. There was (and always should be) a safe place, run by prudent people, where people can feel SAFE about putting their money there.
Would the Bearing put any money into Switzerland? Not a chance...
There's an interesting book by Swiss chappy Ferdinand Lips called "Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money As Seen From A Swiss Perspective." It's been a while since I read it, but he said the beginning of the end was when the big Swiss banks went global, and developed large presences in the US. This meant the US could put pressure on them, and they in turn put pressure on the Swiss government to... 'reform'.
A lot of the Swiss public were pissed off at the time... but I guess Switzerland has a majority of sheep, like everywhere else.
the number/percentage of sheep possibly always is more or less the same.
it's just that today the poeple and taxbase is not ruled anymore by honest and smart men from the streets - but instead from thieves and whores.
7 decades earlier - 1 tax dollar was used to pay state expenses - today 3/4 of that goes in fact into the pockets of those thieves and whores (mostly bankers and wall street types, media, farmers, big companies, defense industry, oil industry, parties, zillions of new and useless jobs for bureaucrats, ...) and a small rest is for paying state expenses as it was originally thought.
the whole tax distribution system/law is corrupt from the highest levels ... while the sheep are still the sheep, though today with just more red bull, pommes, tv, porn and sports.
fish stinks from the head ... as a result of modern capitalism & democracy which allows and even supports uncontrolled growth of cancers of thieves and whores ...
governments not anymore for the the poeple - but for how to steal the most from the taxe base and rule the army of sheep
Printing money has never worked in the history of the world. Looks like it's going to take a global currency crisis with a major inflation to learn these lessons the hard way again. It is too bad because the middle-class will get hurt the most.
yeah, but typically its the bombs that come next, that really hurt the middle class...
your both right, unfortunately....
@ b_B and Popo,
Yes, both results are common through history, inflation and war. Three are variations (deflation and war, and so on), but your points are correct.
Plan accordingly, prepare...
" It is too bad because the middle-class will get hurt the most."
The implication being that the lower class is still suffering from the toilet plunger up their butts and now it's the middle classes' turn. In the History of the World, the middle class will always have its turn before the upper class.
If, for some reason they don't, stop the press, "man bites dog.'
Hildebrand deserves to be shot. Guess i make a proposition in the next SNB assembly. ;-)
Time to go long CHF, bitchez.
The Market always wins when people try to intrinsically effect it
I told 'ya gold bugs to root for Dow 15,000, not Dow 5,000.
More printing. Not less.
More PPT intervention. Not "End the Fed".
Lots of FX and metals traders are going to see their accounts vaporized when this rout is all over.
Shove your paper dreams up your asshole, and light them on fire before the market does, dip shit. Then, melt down some silver into a big safe haven dildo, and shove it up there to prevent infection. See which reaming feels best - in the end, so to speak...........................
@ RobotTrader
Traders are always at risk. Ex-traders (like me) much less so.
Agree more printing and more PPT intervention. And that TPTB will not audit, much less end, the Fed.
Robot, I would always be interested in seeing some thoughts of yours on a longer-term horizon.
more printing= higher PM values
thanks for the encouragement, RT, i knew buying physical would pay off.
Yup. In the eternal battle between the Pig Men and the Spartacus-wannabes, the Pig Men always win. That's the undisputed teaching of history.
The Federal Reserve Bank System will still be alive and kicking 1000 years from now, to the great despair of redneck silverbugs and nerdy doomers.
+1 for satire
brilliant, you make us newbies think...
The struggle must continue as the future or "change itself" (just the future?) is still at stake. We have no way of determining outcomes of course--but the human race through the media en toto but also through our historical institutions of "government" and "industry" engages in the most relentless form of determinism imaginable. But is it certainty or just what we imagine?
And.... he's back!
So, if we're looking at Rome analogies, I guess in the following events
- Battle of the Allia (387 BC) – Rome is sacked by the Gauls after the Battle of the Allia
- Sack of Rome (410) – Rome is sacked by Alaric, King of the Visigoths
- Sack of Rome (455) – Rome is sacked by Geiseric, King of the Vandals
- Sack of Rome (546) – Rome is sacked and depopulated by Totila, King of the Ostrogoths, during the war between the Ostrogoths and the Byzantines
the attackers were the Pig Men, and the Romans were Spartacus?
Nah we are done.
Had a good run though...but it's finished. Look around, three regions going down the toilet faster than the toilet can be flushed: Europe/US/and yes China.
eveything comes to an end.
The Federal Reserve Bank System will still be alive and kicking 1000 years from now, to the great despair of redneck silverbugs and nerdy doomers.
Sorry, but the Federal Reserve Bank System will not be a 1000-year Reich and your forecast, like Adolf's, will ultimately be proven to be far too optimistic. The good news is the world will be filled with more and more small, non-discretionary, home decor items over the next 100 decades.
Why, when Dow 10,000 has worked so well the last decade?
More printing is a mathematical certainty in our current system.
End the Fed would end plunge protection AND plunge proliferation.
Vaporized is relative. The outperformance trend remains.
commodity markets crunch so will equities, DOW is going to be slaughtered next quarter.
Perfect storm brewing on three fronts.
I would load up on PM's (now) once the whole system just cracks up, got that pencilled in for 2012
Meantime you can finally short stocks, swing trade on highs/lows/ minis etc. If the FED start printing like the madmen that they are, depending on copper, they can't get copper bid - forget QE. Still won't elevate markets. Hence the 2012 doomsday trade.
On top: Swiss Gobberment is thinking about negative interest on foreign accounts to scare people out of swiss banks.
Heildie gets caught with his dick still up the CHF goat's asshole, clamped on like a dog in heat, and the market bucket of cold water in the face is not gonna de couple his miserable ass from the goat! Send in the proctologists, and the castration specialists !!!!
I guess you are wrong? How come the Swiss won't keep their currency pegged? Just because of some arbitrary balance sheet at their central bank in regards to other fiat currencies? I don't understand. Can someone help me out? What exactly should make the Swiss leave their currency UNpegged?
CHF is not pegged to EUR in an administrativ sense. The SNB just promised to buy every EUR for 1,20 CHF. But if there will be a really hard attack by the markets the SNB will not be able to do it.
so.. if someone where to be short the swiss franc becuase they tied that really good money to the shitty euro.. then someone could have made money? assuming that the euro would cause further harm to the swiss franc.. I have to be honest, I was taken back by the news that the euro had hurt the swiss franc and I would be even more surprised going forward if the euro cause yet more harm to the swiss franc!
who knew?
never would have guessed!
next thing you know.. the swiss will need a bailout and austerity measures!
tax cuts for the top .01% BITCHEZ!!
The peg will end dramatically, a la Soros vs the pound, but not this year.
Hopefully, they´re buying gold with these fx reserves... at least one can hope :(
I closed my USD/CHF longs at 0.9. Opened them at 0.71. Maybe I´m a bit early but who cares with a 225% profit...
It is central planning at it's finest. These brave souls, courage and wit forged in the furnace of academia, who step forward bravely to sacrifice all in pursuit of the altruistic goal of dominion over the forces of evil capitalism.
Wish them Godspeed and for the wind to be at their backs!
These folks really will solve the worlds problems.
Trust them?
Total idoits
In 6 months they will probably be begging for a strong currency
The balance sheet is less important to SNB than risks of recession and deflation. The data right now supports their policy.
Going long CHF right now is suicidal. They have lots of room to f up speculators by moving to 1.25 for a while just to be spiteful.
No they are a grade idoits. You then just short the EUR. Eventually the Swiss will the hit with massive inflation as the rest of EZ melts into a stagflation depression.
Hildebrand must create another false sense of security to rally the lemmings into conformity. Meanwhile, Obama has more theater war's than Bush. Media remains silent because forming opinions results to a large corporate paycheck to insure the mission is spread.
Barack Obama: Impeachment Of George W. Bush Off The Table
Barack Obama got a bit testy when interviewer Chistiane Brown pressed him on the issue of impeaching President George W. Bush. This interview was aired on radio station KJFK (http://www.1230kjfk.com/news.asp) during the 2008 Presidential campaign.
Aired on Hardball 12/04/07
Joe Biden said in 2007, talking about George W Bush, that the President has no constitutional authority to go to war with Iran without congressional approval. He said he would push for an impeachment. Will he push to impeach President Obama for doing the same thing with Libya?
Another old media tool has been thrown under the bus..
Cindy Sheehan Calls for Impeachment of George W. Bush
She has begun to attack Barry Soetoro. LOL
Cindy Sheehan on Pelosi, Obama, Afghanistan, Iraq & Iran
Bet those days using Crawford ranch woke this woman up. Before Bush gave her a chance..
Cindy Sheehan Arrested At Bush Ranch
Do you see how paid tools work with or against? LOL
Fabulous post Atomizer! Hahahaha!
OBAMA now is the one at risk for impeachment. I think from here on out, all major contenders will keep their yaps shut about impeachment. Now everyone sees that the shoe can be on the other foot.
Cindy Sheehan, LOL... Right under the bus, right on schedule!
a small price to pay to maintain a fabulously weak currency like everyone else.
Please help out on this one as it isn't my thing, but wouldn't the Swiss currency rebound almost instantly when unpegged? If they are aware of this and are trying to protect the Euro, they really aren't losing something they will almost certainly regain where the Euro would be less likely to rebound? The good will that goes with it would not be unnoticed either in trying to help their neighbors? Is this at all logical from a soverign that is going to have plenty if disruption strikes elsewhere?
They didn't peg to be neighborly, though that's a nice little boost to their image, to be sure.
The goal was self preservation.
A stronger franc makes their exports less competitive. Also, many mortgages in Eastern Europe are denominated in Swiss francs, and owed to Swiss banks. Better a hair cut than losing one's head.
If I'm way off base I'm sure others will tell us so.
So what is Switzerland exporting? What is Dubai exporting?
The mortgage part makes complete sense though. And then again, it appears that Argentina and oh, maybe Israel can step in. The business of tax shelter is no longer monopolized in the Alps.
BTW. The Bush song batten has be handed to Obama.
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Keep in mind Attackwatch, your boy is going to have to explain about Egypt & Libya. Public is wide awake. At the end of day, the bankers will have zero liquidity. Can't wait to bid on the cheap properties in the Hamptons.
With all that gold we've been buying & saving?
I don't know if I would want those kinds of neighbors though...
Pls check this post in TF metals:
They allow posting pictures, and thus post becomes much more informative.
they tried it here, along with anything else anybody could think of, and vacationed in crash city prior to server meltdown...
...there may have been drugs and alcohol involved on the maiden voyage...tyler, especially...and maybe 3-500 others...and fighting...oh! the humanity!

In the Spotlight with Deborah Coffin, Director, Department of Housing
The architectural beauty of the Boulder campus is world renowned and our buildings often are viewed as the face of the university. In this series, "In the Spotlight," we ask CU-Boulder building directors to give us a behind-the-scenes look at the facilities and programs they manage - along with a glimpse into their personalities. Part three of this series features Deb Coffin, executive director, Housing and Dining Services.
What is one thing you would like people to know about your buildings or your job?
The greatest rewards I find are in working with students and their parents, particularly freshmen. First year students have such motivation and energy, and jump into college with gusto and a bit of hesitation. It is energizing to learn about their experiences, help them navigate campus life, watch them make life long friends and grow into incredible young adults. If I didn't get to 'hang out' with students, my job would be less fulfilling.
If you could wake up tomorrow in your own home, but in another place anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
That's a tough question because I have so many places I love and would enjoy living. But my heart is in the west...so I would have to say on the shore of Whitefish Lake, Montana! The skies of Montana are breathtaking and I do love the cooler climate, crisp air and open spaces.

College Hockey:Clarkson Hangs Tough against Harvard
Knights Get All They Need in First Period
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Clarkson and Harvard scored three goals combined in the first 10 minutes in what proved to be the only scoring action of the game between the ECAC foes. The Crimson outshot the Golden Knights, 26-22, but was unable to make more than one count before 2,643 at Cheel Arena.
Clarkson looked well on their way early, scoring just one minute into play. Senior defensemen Grant Clitsome fired a shot from the point and had it deflect off of freshman netminder Kyle Richter. Sophomore Matt Beca collected the rebound and flipped it past Richters right side for an early 1-0 advantage.
We wanted to get pucks on net, be patient down-low, they play a man-on-man system and we know with our forwards were going to get opportunities and beat them down-low, said Clarkson head coach George Roll.
Harvard knotted the game at one three-and-a-half minutes later on a tipped shot in traffic while on the power play. Sophomore Alex Biega fired a shot from the point only to have it deflected by senior teammate Alex Meintel right in front of senior goalie David Leggio. Leggio was unable to recover on the redirection as the puck found the net for the equalizer.
The Knights broke through with the winning goal with 10:31 still to play in the opening period. Senior Steve Zalewski worked hard against the Harvard defense on the right side, working the puck to the right post where he sent a pass in front of Richter and through the crease. Sophomore Tim Marks was the last man with a chance at a shot on net and was able to flip the puck home for a 2-1 mark, his second tally of the young season.
I thought the first period they had a little extra jump, they came out and did a good job on their fore-check and got pucks to the net, said Roll.
Harvard had perhaps their best chance to tie the game come in the second period on a play by junior forward Nick Coskren. Coskren beat freshman defenseman Bryan Rufenach along the boards in the neutral zone and skated in on Leggio with Rufenach trailing. Coskren was stopped cold by a sprawling Leggio who made the save to his right to preserve the lead.
We had a tough time getting that second goal, we probably gave them their first two goals a little easier than we would have liked, reflected Harvard head coach Ted Donato.
The Crimson had another solid opportunity with 6:33 to play in the third period, finding themselves on the power play due to a holding penalty on junior defensemen Tyrell Mason. The Crimson was unable to convert however as they went 1-for-5 on the man-advantage for the night. The Knights, on the other hand, were held scoreless on the power play but were able to muster enough offense otherwise.
I think both teams had good chances, both goal tenders made some big saves, neither power play got great opportunities, said Donato. I was very impressed with the way Kyle Richter played; he made some saves and gave us a chance to stay in the game.
Clarkson welcomes Dartmouth Saturday night who defeated St. Lawrence 2-1 in other ECAC action. Harvard will consequently trade places and face the Saints at Appleton Arena in their Saturday night matchup.

The ancient custom of lighting bonfires on Lag Ba'Omer is being challenged for both religious and ecological reasons.
The tradition of lighting bonfires on the eve of Lag Ba'Omer, which falls on Sunday, has become a popular custom in Israel, for religious and secular youngsters alike. But the prevalence of the custom, which causes large clouds of thick smoke above most Israeli citiesm, is raising concern amongst rabbis and environmentalists.
Women of the Wall (WOW) began in December 1988 when a group of 70 Jewish women from all streams of Judaism approached the Kotel with a Torah Scroll to conduct a prayer service. Some wore tallit, others did not. Although even at that service, there was some screaming and cursing from Charedi Jews both male and female, Rabbi Getz (the Kotel administrator of the time) did not stop the service, and was overheard telling a complainer "leave them alone, they are not violating halachah".
The Advertising Standards Authority has responded to protests over its decision to ban an advertisement from the Israel Government Tourist Office in the UK which showed a picture of the Western Wall.
It posted a message on its web site to say that it had received "lots of feedback" to uphold an objection to the ad from a single anonymous complainant.
"We do appreciate that some people strongly disagree with our decision," the ASA said.
Amnesty International has defended its decision to hold a meeting on Israel's policy in east Jerusalem under the title of "Capital Murder", featuring the author of a book on Israeli "apartheid".
Journalist Ben White, who published Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide, last year, is due to speak alongside an East Jerusalem activist at the headquarters of the organisation's UK's branch in London next month.
Britain's advertising watchdog has provoked a furious reaction after ruling that Israel cannot use a photograph of Judaism's holiest shrine, the Western Wall, in a travel advert.
The Advertising Standards Authority upheld a complaint against a press ad produced by the Israel Government Tourist Office because it suggested that the Wall, the only relic of the Second Temple, was part of Israel.
Rabbi Barry Marcus, who holds the Israel portfolio in the Chief Rabbi's cabinet, denounced the decision as "ludicrous, shocking and offensive".
Senior Israeli officials are accusing both the left and right wing of sabotaging the Netanyahu government's relations with the US by leaking details of building plans in east Jerusalem.
As Mr Netanyahu was going to his meeting with President Obama on Tuesday, Israeli websites broke the story that the Jerusalem municipal planning council had given the final authorisation for a new building project on the site of the Shepherd's Hotel in Sheikh Jarrah in east Jerusalem.
MPs attacked Israeli settlement policy during an emergency meeting held by Palestinian groups in Parliament.
Labour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman, a veteran foe of Israel, told the meeting, held by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Friends of Al Aqsa: "The Jews running Israel are the most stupid Jews because they do not see the population equation will mean that unless there is a settlement granting Palestinians their own state, Palestinians will wait it out.
"When they outnumber the Israelis there will... be a one-state solution and that will not be Israel."
The annual policy conference held this week by Aipac, the Israel lobby, certainly helped tone down the rhetoric between Israel and the US.
However, it also highlighted the deep divisions that still remain between the two countries, which no amount of sweet talk will be able to paper over.
The conference brought together 7,500 delegates from across America. As always, it was the top event in town, with the A-list of Washington politicians gathering to express their support for Israel.
Security officials believe that they have contained the violence in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.
The last four weeks saw an unprecedented outbreak of rioting, following a decision by the Israeli government to include the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem on a list of national heritage sites.
This is not how the peace process was supposed to work. Architects of negotiations have forever talked about leaving difficult issues until last, and in the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, nothing fits the bill of "difficult" as much as Jerusalem.
Israeli behaviour towards the US has its own truism. You don't pick a fight in the beginning of negotiations and you certainly try not to embarrass those who are known to be among your best supporters in Washington.
But these are not normal times.
