College Hockey:Consider Sunday a test for the neutral-site regional format
Some thoughts as we head into the final two games of the 2014 NCAA regionals:
Watch the attendance
It's no secret that the NCAA men's ice hockey committee is considering taking tournament games back to campus sites with more regularity.
When the NCAA announced sites for tournaments in the next four seasons last December, it left open the 2017 and 2018 regionals to avoid being locked into a neutral-site regional format that may have run its course.
Look for more on this topic this week on USCHO, but it's notable that the total attendance for this year's regionals (40,049 through six sessions) has already surpassed that of last season (37,321) with the Sunday games left to be played.
But keep an eye on Sunday's attendance in Worcester, Mass., and St. Paul, Minn., because if there was ever going to be a case for keeping the regionals at neutral sites, those places have to make it.
In both regional locations, two teams from that state will play for a trip to the Frozen Four. Boston College and Massachusetts-Lowell play in Worcester, while Minnesota and St. Cloud State skate in St. Paul.
If that doesn't attract a good crowd, you could argue that nothing will and it's time to try something else.
Nothing new here
After last year's Frozen Four featured four teams that had never before been in the national semifinals, this year's event will feature none.
North Dakota will make its 20th appearance, while Union will make its second.
Boston College, Lowell, Minnesota and St. Cloud State have all been there before.
Goals on the rebound
Through 10 games of the 2014 NCAA tournament, the scoring average is on the rebound, albeit ever so slightly.
After averaging 6.7 goals per game in a relatively high-flying 2010 tournament (a high for the 16-team-tournament era that dates to 2003), the average dropped over the next three years, to 5.3 in 2011, 5.2 in 2012 and 5.1 last year.
There have been 54 goals so far this season, for a 5.4 average.

text: i dont have a manual for this game so i was wondering about damage types. Obviously some units do splash type damage but what other types are there. Im more of a Starcraft player where they have concussive, normal, and explosive damage types. Concussive damage does 100% to small units and explosive damage does 100% to large units. If you play SC much you know what im talking about. Is there a similar setup in SWGB?

College Hockey:Traveling Russian team no stranger to long trips
Six games against college teams are on the schedule for the Russian Red Stars.
It is approximately 5,000 miles from Moscow to Grand Forks, N.D., but traveling like they did for the first of a series of exhibition games in the United States is nothing new for players from the the visiting Russian Red Stars.
The Red Stars are players chosen from teams within the Molodezhnaya Hokkeinaya Liga, sometimes called the Youth Hockey League or the Minor Hockey League. Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Slovakia all have teams in the MHL, which spans nine time zones.
"Geographically, we are the biggest junior league in the world," MHL commissioner Dmitri Efimov said from Moscow before the team traveled to the U.S. for the tour.
Efimov made it clear that the Red Stars have goals for the exhibition games.
"We are hoping these opportunities will better prepare players for future international competitions," he said. "There is no doubt that some of these players will someday represent Russia in important international games."
The Red Stars are scheduled for six games against college teams and another two against North American Hockey League opponents on a trip that runs through Jan. 5.
They resume the college portion of the schedule at Vermont on Dec. 27, and also have set games at Yale (Dec. 28), Northern Michigan (Dec. 30), Notre Dame (Jan. 3) and Massachusetts-Lowell (Jan. 5).
The MHL is in its third year of existence, and it is growing — from 22 teams in 2009-10 to 32 teams this year. The MHL is an under-22 league with a maximum of three 21-year-olds per team.
"Previously, many players were forced to retire from high-level hockey because there was nowhere for them to play," Efimov said. "There were many very good players that graduated from school teams but they were not yet ready for the KHL."
Many of the MHL teams are affiliated with the Kontinental Hockey League, generally regarded as the world's second-best professional league. This affiliation has similarities to the one between the NHL and the AHL — there have been times that teams not making the KHL playoffs have sent age-eligible players to their affiliated MHL teams for their playoffs.
In the MHL's inaugural season, the KHL's Metallurg Novokuznetsk sent Dmitri Orlov, Sergei Bobrovsky and Maxim Kitsyn to their junior affiliate Kuznetsk Bears. Orlov now is a defenseman with the Washington Capitals, Bobrovsky a goaltender with the Philadelphia Flyers and Kitsyn a Los Angeles Kings draft pick that went on to play major junior for Mississauga of the OHL last year and has since returned to the KHL.
Those players helped the eighth-seeded Bears make it to the league final. Last year Red Army's junior affiliate won the Kharlamov Cup (named after legendary Russian player Valery Kharlamov) after Sergei Gaiduchenko, Sergei Andronov and Mikhail Pashnin, who played the whole season for Red Army's KHL team, were added to their lineup.
Before the KHL, the best league for older players was the Vysshaya Hokkeinaya Liga, referred to as the Major League. The VHL is now affiliated with the second tier of the MHL, which is comprised of 19 teams.
"The players in the MHL are very busy with play and travel, so a job or full-time schooling is not an option for them," Efimov said. "A few continue to take classes but online courses are not nearly as popular in Russia as in North America."
Attendance in the league is on the rise, especially where the MHL team provides the only game in town.
In the most recent NHL draft, six players with significant ice time in the league were taken: Second-rounder Nikita Kucherov, Maxim Shalunov, Yaroslav Kosov, Nikita Nesterov, Daniil Sobchenko and Alexei Marchenko all played most of their 2010-11 season in the league.
Last year, the Red Stars played Yale and Army along with three Canadian junior teams, with Yale being the only team to beat the Red Stars.
The tour opened with a 5-1 loss to North Dakota on Dec. 17, but the Red Stars are hoping to get stronger as the tour goes on. The travel and the unfamiliarity of players and coaches with each other will no doubt be a factor.
Efimov said he is appreciative of the efforts of Paul Kelly and the staff of College Hockey Inc. to assist with the tour. Efimov is aware that some players blossom late and is glad there is now a league for players to continue to develop.
College hockey fans can probably relate: Undrafted college players can be found across the NHL.
So is it possible that one of the touring Red Stars will find a spot in Division I hockey?
"It is a possibility, but the language barrier is huge," said Efimov, who attended the University of Pittsburgh. "What we don't want to see is a Russian player coming to North America and things not working out. There have been some very good players come to North America for junior and professional opportunities and, while many have thrived, for others things didn't go well."

An assembly of the entire church in Ireland took one step closer this week with an overflow meeting that saw more than 1,000 priests, religious and laypeople gather to discuss the future of the church, reports NCR Online.
Organisers say they expected about 200 participants to attend the event, which the Association of Catholic Priests sponsored. However, Dublin's Regency Hotel was packed to capacity, with many at the event forced to stand.
Speaker after speaker pleaded for a more open church centered around a spirit of dialogue. Redemptorist Fr Tony Flannery, who was recently forbidden to write by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, maintained a discreet presence and was greeted by many well-wishers.
The priests association now represents about 25 percent of Irish priests in active ministry and has called for a re-evaluation of the church's teaching on sexuality and a "redesigning" of ministry "to incorporate the gifts, wisdom and expertise of the entire faith community, male and female." The group also wants local involvement in the appointment of bishops.
Participants pointed to the report of the recent Apostolic Visitation of the Irish church, which criticized a "fairly widespread" tendency among Irish Catholics to hold views contrary to the teaching of the church as an indication that Irish Catholics are itching for reform.
A succession of speakers at the event called the hierarchy to open up structures of dialogue with lay Catholics about the future of the church.
Fr Gerry O'Hanlon, a former Jesuit provincial, said the clerical child sexual abuse crisis and its serious mishandling by church leaders has revealed wider and deeper fault lines in the national and universal church.
He described the event as a "wonderful sign of hope" for the future of the church in Ireland. He said the event was "trying to get a group together who really feel strongly about the crisis in the church and want to offer constructive hope and help.

Ariana Grande's brother, Frankie Grande, made a major power move Friday night on CBS's popular show "Big Brother" and the fans are worried he might be the next contestant to leave the show. Frankie Grande has been extraordinarily careful not to reveal that he was Ariana Grande's brother during the first few weeks of the show as he thought it would hurt him. According to "People Magazine" on Saturday the contestant changed his strategy and confessed the connection to the housemates after a double elimination and a change around the home.
The shock of the revelation has divided the house and it appears that Frankie Grande's originally assumption that it might offer a target on his back was correct. Knowing that he is famous (after all he is a YouTube star) and that his sister is too has some of the contestants jealous about his time on the TV show. It's a strange quandary that most relatives of famous people face, but this is playing out on national television.
Frankie Grande wasn't exactly up front with his housemates when he started the game. Calling his sister a different name and conveniently forgetting his occupation, the other contestants thought he was a regular guy looking to win the prize.
Will Frankie Grande survive on "Big Brother" after revealing his true identity? This question has fans excited to tune in on Sunday night as it makes everyone wonder if the rest of the contestants can forgive Frankie for misleading them or if this seals his fate. "MTV News" is reporting that the secret just might be the key to changing and solidifying his chance at winning the half a million dollar game prize. However the mood in the house isn't easy to predict so anything is possible.
Frankie Grande has to feel good that he has made it so far in the reality competition. The game is tough and he has not had it easy. After hearing news that his grandfather passed away while on the show, it's obvious he is doing his best to win.

Alexander was so impressed by the elephants of the army of an Indian king called Poros that he immediately added them to his army. The battlefield was even dominated by a combination of the phalanx and the elephants during the era of the diadochs after the death of Alexander. The power of the elephant was even more increased when battle-towers were placed on the back of them. In this tower were normally a pikeman and an archer who could attack enemies who attempted to stop the elephant from breaking through their formations. The elephant was controlled by a driver who was of Indian origin. The driver was armed with several javelins.
Tactics of the war-elephant.
The main advantages of the elephants were their size and their terrifying sight. They were especially useful against cavalry as the horses who were not used to the sight and the sound of an elephant bolted most of the time. A row of elephants with 20 till 50 metres space between them was enough to stop a massive cavalry attack most of the times. However, there was one big disadvantage: elephants were very hard to kill, but many wounds or the loss of the driver was often enough to scare the elephant and then he also became a big danger to the friendly army. That is why they were normally escorted by a group of light infantry.
The elephants at the end of the era of diadochs had a permanent escort of light infantry, a tower big enough to hold four men, and leather or metal rings around their legs which had to prevent that the enemy cut the muscles in the heels of the elephant. The smaller African jungle-elephant was also used by the Ptolemies and Cartage. It is not known if Cartage also used battle-towers, but the Ptolemies certainly did. The elephant in this picture is characteristic for the period from 280 till 200 BC.

The evolution of beer stems from experimentation. If brewers never gave the envelope a push, there wouldn't be such a variety of beers. Without the Czechs dabbling in lager yeast, there'd be no Pilsener. Without the British brewing with too many hops, there'd be no IPA. And, without Avery Brewing tossing prickly pear cactus into their sour beer and then aging it in tequila barrels for nine months, there'd be no Opuntia (6.65% ABV), the 18th beer in the brewery's "Barrel-Aged Series."
Color: Halfway clear, Opuntia isn't a thick fog but neither is it completely see-through. It's a dark, burnt orange with yellowish highlights and cream-colored foam.
Aroma: The smell of Opuntia is a tart garden—sour apples, sour grapes, and even sour cucumbers. There are sweet, tropical undertones of peach and passion fruit, too. One assumes this medley of aromas is imparted by the prickly pear.
Taste: As multi-layered as is the aroma, the flavor of Opuntia is equally as complex. Firstly, all flavors in this beer are soft and round; there's nothing unduly sharp or intense about Opuntia save, perhaps, for its spike of acidic sourness (although even that quickly subsides). Opuntia is candy-like and fruity, a Sour Patch Kid in beer form, all the while tasting like a raw slice of rhubarb stacked on a slice of cucumber. There's a mild saltiness to Opuntia that's strong enough to be pleasant, weak enough to not overpower. The flavor of tequila is detectable but sans the bite, burn, or strength of the popular spring break liquor.
Mouthfeel: Lively and effervescent, Opuntia finishes dry and is medium-bodied.
It's hard to describe Opuntia; it has so much going on. It's not simple, it's not straightforward, but, despite its multifaceted nature, it manages to be easy-drinking and refreshing. It's a fancy, expensive beer but it's perfect as a post-lawn mowing, patio beer. That's the consequence of experimentation: sometimes brewers get a dud, and sometimes they get something as wonderfully weird yet supremely drinkable as Opuntia.
Seek out Opuntia at Denver's boutique liquor stores.

This dress was purchased at Elizabeth Johns bridal salon and was worn once, at my wedding in November 2013. There is a beaded / rhinestone belt (not part of the original dress) attached as additional embellishment. The style of the dress is classic Carolina Herrera — silk, a-line, long train that bustles. It is a structured and architectural style.
I have additional pictures I can share if needed.
Note – the dress was shown in a printed fabric on the runway. The dress that I am selling is not print – it is IVORY.

Thoughts after the devastation
I imagine many of you have seen the pictures and video footage of the devastation in the Southeast. It's had me thinking. We have our preps, our Bug-Out-Bags, etc. But, these tornadoes wiped out everything. I guess you could have your BOB on you (as opposed to by the door or in the trunk of your car). But, everything is gone. I could store a few days of stuff at my parent's. But they are just across the pond — accessible but also probable to be devastated if we are. As if I don't have enough to be stressed about right now, this is pressing on my mind. Any thoughts, especially from those in "Tornado Alley"?

Make sure you have a tag on it that says "Not for use by the Lolliepop Guild!"

Thanks for the smile!

What about a smallish concrete and rebar "doghouse"? Near the main dwelling, but far enough away that it shouldn't get buried in rubble.
By fast richard, May 3, 2011 @ 1:49 pm
Pockets are good things. Minimum contents include some sort of knife and some means of making fire. It doesn't take more than a pocket knife to be useful in making a shelter amid the downed branches and debris. A fire makes cold wet misery a little more bearable.
By EmmaPeel, May 3, 2011 @ 2:16 pm
Joe, I've been looking over the property for a suitable cache. I never considered building something. Great idea.
Richard, I need to be in the habit of keeping my knife and fire starter in my pockets all the time. I tend to empty my pockets when I get home. Everything is close at hand should I need it.
By DonM, May 3, 2011 @ 2:29 pm
Some degree of redundancy is usually a good idea. If you have a good neighbor or a trusted relative within walking distance, put duplicates of the cheaper and less lethal elements of your bugout bag in your neighbor's home, and invite him to do the same with your house. With a tornado, there is a reduced liklihood that both your houses will be trashed.
By global village idiot, May 3, 2011 @ 2:58 pm
Easy. Leave a week's worth of stuff at a friend's next county over. It's what I do.
I, my daughter and my dog could show up at their door in skivvies and bunny slippers; after a cup of hot chocolate and 15 minutes we'd be dressed, fed and on our way to bed, and because all the stuff is pre-positioned, we don't put our friends out in the least.
By Robert Slaughter, May 3, 2011 @ 3:02 pm
I think a 'virtual exercise' may be in order. If you wear a wristwatch with an hourly beep, turn it on. Then pick a sample emergency — tornado is a fine example.
For a work-day and a weekend-day (because you have a life), every time you hear it beep, stop as soon as safe, then ask yourself, "What would I do if I heard a tornado siren on a tornado *right now*?" As you accumulate details, start writing them down and later analyze them.
If at home, what would be your actions, and how could be certain your BOB/72-hour kit was with you? If at work? On the road? Visiting friends or family? Maybe you need duplicate kits – home, work, car, or instead a carry-everywhere kit.
Building a good old-fashioned (yet updated — the rebar sounds good) storm cellar away from the house sounds excellent for storing usefuls near the homestead, as well as self-protection.
Cycle through other possible situations, especially those with significant differences — if there was a knock on the door (work, home, traffic stop) and you were told "You have to evacuate NOW!" with no expectation of return, what would be different?
That should help some. Just break the elephant down into bite-sized, digestible chunks.
By Anonymous, May 3, 2011 @ 3:24 pm
I second the "hardened doghouse" approach. I don't live anywhere near Tornado Alley, but high winds, heavy snow and flooding are all too familiar.
BOB gear is stored in an old, apparently unused concrete building inside locked, "retired" locker freezers. They're watertight, rodent-proof, temperature stable, and low-humidity with the addition of silica gel units.
Whatever you do, keep your profile low and keep thieves (two and four-legged) in mind. A MURS detector in the building informs me of human intrusion, but mice can still wreak holy hell with your gear unless you keep the pesky little bastards sealed out.
By Pathfinder, May 3, 2011 @ 3:56 pm
2 words – underground cellar! 'Nuf said.
Well, maybe not enough. secured underground cellar like the old root cellars. Lacking that, an enclosed space in the basement. No basement? What are you doing in tornado alley without one (full disclosure – I did that once, and was looking over my shoulder at the weather radar the entire time I lived there).
So, a cellar – unless you flood, in which case you are SOOL!
By EmmaPeel, May 3, 2011 @ 4:25 pm
I really appreciate all the feedback. I have a lot of food-for-thought for my commute home.
Pathfinder, for some reason, basements are rare in this area of Alabama. I only know one person with one. I do know a few with storm shelters.
By Gmac, May 3, 2011 @ 4:55 pm
Basements don't exist or are rare in HSV and N AL. Basement rooms abound but an F5 will sweep it clear.
Your best bet is to drop some cash and time into a true storm shelter. Just remember, below ground usually means water will accumulate if you don't properly have it sealed.
By randy, May 3, 2011 @ 6:12 pm
Grew up in Tornado Alley.
Underground is the place to be. If you can't do that, reinforce a closet and take the BOB in with you when you take cover.
If you can't build a safe room, get to a bathroom, in the bathtub with your BOB.
I have BOB contents in my basement, garage, and vehicle. Even if your house takes a direct hit, your garage and/or vehicle might still survive, tornadoes are screwy that way.
Food grade 5 gallon buckets are inexpensive. You can buy screw-on lids, or simply use the lids that come with them. Bury them, loaded with your stuff, flush with the ground, and put round flat decorative walkway stones on top of them. Only you even have to know theyr'e there. If a tornado takes them, you have bigger troubles anyway.
By RickR, May 3, 2011 @ 8:29 pm
If your bugout bag has personnel info in it like Electric Company acct #, Phone Acct # and such that you would need to contact afterward, consider an encrypted USB drive with scans of that kind of stuff. Scanned bills, birth cert., marriage lis., etc. will make getting replacements easier.
Look at IronKey, seems to be one of the best.
I grew up in Xenia Ohio, moved there just after the clean up of the '72 disaster. I am a weather channel junkie during storms LOL!
By Anon, May 3, 2011 @ 9:16 pm
We keep 3 kits at a minimum. One near the front door (fully stocked BOB), one in the car, and one in the house. We also have a second BOB that is in a second location since we have more than one exit from our home. If we know we have to evacuate we can take both BOBs and we have the car kit ready to go. If we shelter in place, we have plenty of food and gear here between all of the kits that is easily portable.
Maybe you could keep small cans/5 gal buckets in each of your bathrooms or whatever rooms you plan on sheltering in of basic supplies. You could bury them as a cache as well but YMMV.
By Rick, May 3, 2011 @ 9:57 pm
These days preppers don't like to hold too many dollars but with all your preparations don't forget to have money in the bank. It is unlikely that the same day there is a spate of tornadoes that the dollar totally collapses. Having some cash in the bank will help after the initial emergency is over and the rebuilding starts.
By ivan, May 3, 2011 @ 10:46 pm
How about a root cellar – contractors locally say that it enhances your property's resale value. You can even use it to store roots. Cool in summer, not too cold in winter (do they even have winter in Alabama?) and basically tornado proof. Put it under your porch, and you have a fallout shelter, too.
By Cybrludite, May 4, 2011 @ 3:03 am
I've given serious thought to renting a small storage locker, basically one just big enough to hold a BoB, in a town I'm likely to evacuate to. Stock it with a bag holding a couple of changes of clothes, a pistol & ammo, some cash, photocopies of important documents, and a first aid kit.
By RJK, May 4, 2011 @ 8:13 am
I live in AL and have been in the basement three times in three weeks due to weather. Luckily only one small tornado that knocked down trees and only one house.
When we go to the basement we always put on clothes that you go outside wearing if needed. Rain jackets included. My basement has a gun safe with flashlights and other needed stuff.
My biggest fear is not dying in the storm but gas lines being damaged and explosions that follow if you house is hit. If you have a gun safe – keep needed things in there as it will not blow away. Lay in a tub if you can.
By EmmaPeel, May 4, 2011 @ 8:22 am
Again, thanks for all the great information. When we build our final home, it will have a basement with walk-in safe/safe room. Unfortunately, money hasn't allowed that to happen yet. I'm in the process of cleaning out closets for storm victims. We all have stuff we don't wear/use.

Many fighters have a common misconception of what should be the most dangerous weapon in their arsenal.
A Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt will say that their greatest weapon is their submission ability, where as a boxer or Muay Thai fighter will say it is their knockout ability. A physically muscular fighter will say that their power is their greatest weapon. The list goes on, but what a successful veteran fighter will tell you is that peak cardiovascular shape is their greatest weapon.
Technique, power, speed, and precision are all important keys to winning fights, but what happens when the most powerful or intelligent fighter becomes winded? Everything will fall apart in the cage for the fighter that becomes winded. He might even have been dominating the majority of the fight, but once the gas tank is empty, he is vulnerable to almost anything that the other fighter can throw at him, given the opponent is not gassed as well.
The key to being a successful fighter starts with his physical conditioning. Once this has been established, technique, power, and everything else will fall into shape.

For those that have chosen to hang on the sidelines at the 2010 Boston Marathon here are a few items to keep in mind to help you through what is also set to be a long day.
In a similar fashion to the runners, it is a good idea to keep hydrated. A full day of standing and walking around in the sun will strip your body of the water it needs to properly function so drink some at least a couple times throughout the day.
If you plan on staying outside for a few hours, lather up with SPF before you head out to protect your skin from the sun. Wearing a hat isn't a bad idea either, if not to protect your face and neck from the harmful UV rays, then do it based on the scientific fact that the Sox are in town.
The Boston Marathon is also said to be New England's most widely viewed sporting event so keep in mind, the city will be extremely crowded. Main streets will be blocked making it difficult to drive so be sure to use exercise as a means of transportation.
Running or not, hours of standing in the sun can do a number on your body - so stay hydrated, eat well and try to find a good balance between exercising and getting rest when possible.

Gripe Websites
Gripe Websites
In today's world, the Internet provides a forum where aggrieved customers, former employees, and other members of the public can express their dissatisfaction with a company's products and services. There is an abundance of gripe websites and the addition of the suffix "sucks.com" to the name of a business is fairly common.
Companies often retaliate, sending Internet defamation cease and desist notices, filing lawsuits alleging a variety of legal causes of action including violation of trademark laws, violation of copyright laws, defamation, and tortious interference with business relationships.
If the outcome of litigation was the sole measuring standard of how gripers have faired in these suits, you could say that the gripers have done very well. As long as the griper does not benefit financially or commercially from the gripe site, attempts to shut them down are rarely successful.
The Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) does not apply to forms of expression that are not part of a commercial transaction. Successful cyber gripers have convinced the courts that the main purpose of their sites is legitimate criticism rather than cybersquatting or cyber-piracy. Take for example Lucas Nursery & Landscaping v. Grosse, where the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit refused to give the ACPA an overbroad meaning and refused to classify the defendant as a cybersquatter in the absence of evidence of bad faith "intent to trade on the goodwill of another's mark."
Likewise, in Bosley Medical Institute v. Kremer, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California found that the defendant's registration of a domain name containing a the plaintiff's trademark plus a pejorative term did not generate a likelihood of confusion regarding the sponsorship of the site since the motivation to criticize was clear.
Cyber gripers-to-be must consider the enormous cost of defending a lawsuit against a company with sufficient motivation and vast financial resources. Lawyer fees alone can drive a cyber griper into financial ruin! Businesses must make the important business decision of whether to sue or ignore the pesky cyber griper.
Don't forget what happened when Toys "R" Us sent a cease and desist letter to the operators of the website Roadkills-R-Us alleging "likelihood of confusion." Rather than folding to Toys "R" Us demands, Roadkills-R-Us created a satirical website about the litigation. Before threatening, make sure that you are in good legal standing and that you are ready to follow through… otherwise, the cease and desist notice that was meant to stop the defamation will be a source of Internet ridicule for your business. Cease and desist letters are a very important and very misused tool for putting the perpetrators of unlawful acts on notice. In some jurisdiction a cease and desist notice is a prerequisite to the filing of an Internet defamation lawsuit and to show bad faith by the recipient. However, if not done correctly, the punishment for a bad letter is an unintended consequence of attempting to punish those engaged in Internet defamation.

Contracts can be a complex thing when someone wants long-term security. The San Francisco 49ers have two different cases with G Alex Boone and Vernon Davis with the latter being a veteran while the former is entering his sixth season in the NFL.
Minicamp, which is mandatory for every player begins today but Davis has already said he isn't coming. Davis, 30, has two years remaining on his contract through the 2015 season and will make $7.4 million this year.
Davis is viewed as one of the league's top tight ends with Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski and Jason Witten. Graham was given the franchise tag by the New Orleans Saints this offseason, but it will be debatable how he could be viewed as a TE or WR given his role on offense.
In 2013, Graham had 1,215 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, more than any wide receiver on the Saints. Compare that of Vernon Davis, who had 850 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. Davis was second on the team in receiving yards behind Anquan Boldin (1,179 yards) and led the team in touchdowns in 2013.
The franchise tag price for a TE is $7.035 million while a WR will be paid $12.312 million. While both sides are trying to figure out Graham's position and how much he will be paid, Davis can make a similar argument on being a top producer in the 49ers passing game. It would be expected that he wants to be paid around those figures if not more when seeking a new deal.
Some can make the argument that a receiving TE is underpaid, but for Davis, it's even larger with the role he has as a blocker. Davis can be plugged in anywhere on the field as an extra WR or used for the running game as a blocking TE. As he is coming off a great season where he tied a career-high in touchdowns, Davis will want a new contract.
Meanwhile, Boone is one of the most underpaid offensive linemen in the game as he is making $2 million in base salary. Initially signed as an undrafted free agent in 2009, he was promoted to the active roster in 2010 where he received limited playing time prior to 2012. After Adam Snyder signed with the Arizona Cardinals via free agency, Boone became the starting RG and has not disappointed as a converted offensive tackle.
Boone, 27, is under a financially friendly contract through the 2015 season. For a starting guard in the last two seasons, Boone is making less money than what all other starting linemen are making in 2014. In 2015, he will be making $1.2 million in base salary.
In the long term, decisions will be made after the 2014 season when Michael Crabtree and Mike Iupati are slated to become free agents. One of those two will most likely be gone because the cap space will be limited. Colin Kaepernick's new contract will have a cap hit of at least $15 million after the 2014 ends. Aldon Smith is also slated to have a $9.75 cap hit in 2015 as the 49ers picked up his fifth-year option prior to the draft.
With several players like Kaepernick, Smith and NaVorro Bowman being paid after 2015, General Manager Trent Baalke will have to decide who can stay and who will go. There could be a cap casualty in the future and it wouldn't be surprising if Davis doesn't receive a new 49ers contract.

They won the national championship as freshmen and advanced to the Women's College World Series as sophomores and juniors, and Saturday they were honored after their final regular season game as Arizona State softball players at Farrington Stadium.
One of the winningest classes in the history of NCAA softball consisted of six women: pitchers Dallas Escobedo and Mackenzie Popescue, outfielders Alix Johnson and Bailey Wigness, shortstop Cheyenne Coyle, and infielder Lindsey Edgerton.
"It's a great class," ASU coach Craig Nicholson said after his team's 9-2 loss to UCLA. "You got speed, pitching, athleticism, you got some power behind Alix and Cheyenne. It's basically all our speed graduating, it's our speed that started it for us, and all our pitching. They carried themselves the right way, they've been through a lot with a coaching change, they've done a great job throughout their careers, and hopefully, we can do it one more time."
Nicholson replaced Clint Myers last summer as coach, inheriting a veteran team that won the 2011 national title behind Escobedo's 10-0 postseason record that earned her the co-Most Outstanding Player Award of the WCWS.
The intimidating competitor whose presence on the mound has petrified opponents for years broke down in tears when recalling her time with the Sun Devils.
"There's so many fun times that I've had here…I'm going to cry…..just every time we came together and fought back," she sobbed.
In total, Escobedo has a 113-24 career record, five wins shy of Katie Burkhart for the school mark and has consistently been atop of the NCAA's strikeout leaders since arriving from Glendale and St. Mary's High School.
"She's had a phenomenal career," UCLA coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said of Escobedo. "An outstanding pitcher, coming in and being a factor her freshman year, winning a championship, I have a lot of respect for her, and the fact that she continues to be successful her senior year says a lot of her ability. I'm glad she represents the Pac-12, going into the end, that kind of bodes well for us, getting to compete on such high-level pitching."
Popescue, from Scottsdale's Chaparral High, has a career ERA under two runs and is 20-3 this season. Johnson, of San Diego, was named a first-team All-American as a sophomore, her best season in which she batted .395. Leadoff hitter Wigness, from Casa Grande, has a .420 career batting average and is graduating with a perfect 4.0. Tempe and McClintock High product Edgerton was mainly used as a pinch hitter and redshirted the national title season.
Coyle's memories of the 2011 WCWS are different, since she played for the Florida team that lost to ASU in the final series, where she was named to the All-Tournament team. She would transfer for her junior season, and in Saturday's loss she hit her team-high 12th home run of the year.
"It's been a good two years, that's all……," Coyle also broke out in tears.
The third-ranked Sun Devils (44-10-1) will find out who and where they play next weekend in the Regionals when the NCAA announces the brackets at 7 p.m. PT Sunday on ESPNU.

Turn the EFSF Into a Bank
There are at least two prominent ideas making the rounds in Brussels to help push down borrowing costs for highly indebted euro-zone nations, which threaten to spiral into an all-out liquidity crisis.
One is the politically charged euro bond, which would be commonly issued on behalf of all 17 euro-zone governments, making the currency bloc collectively liable for the region's sovereign debt. Belgian Finance Minister Didier Reynders has put his weight behind this option.
But there is an alternative. It's one that might appease Germany, which doesn't want the richer nations to be dragged down by countries such as Portugal and Greece. It could also placate the European Central Bank. In order to prop up sovereign debt markets, the ECB has been buying bonds in the secondary market to great effect, but that's not the central bank's job, and it would prefer the governments to take care of such business on their own.
The solution is turning the euro zone's current bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, into a bank.
Even at its expanded size of €440 billion, the EFSF is too small to provide the huge amounts of liquidity needed to keep financing flowing to Italy and Spain over an extended period–Italy alone has gross financing needs that approach €400 billion a year. The EFSF rests on the triple-A borrowing power of six euro-zone nations, led by Germany and France. If leaders miraculously decide to increase the fund's size, it will only heap more of the burden on those countries' shoulders. Too much, and France could lose its own triple-A status, in turn placing yet more onus on Germany–a domino effect that would render the fund useless, says Daniel Gros of the Centre for European Policy Studies, who has proposed the bank idea.
But, by turning the EFSF into a bank, the EU could ensure that troubled countries have access to financing. It would buy up struggling countries' bonds in the secondary market, and like any other bank, use them as collateral with the ECB to borrow more money. Leverage. The the EFSF vehicle would be making the decision of when to buy bonds, and how much. The ECB would play its role as lender of last resort. And euro-zone member states would get their financing.
"Europe's leaders wanted to be generous to Greece, but the supply of cheap funds is limited. Not everybody can be served this way," Mr. Gros said in the report.
And to avoid the imminent threat of a total breakdown of the interbank lending market, the euro zone needs "a massive infusion of liquidity."
To be sure, this solution only works if Spain and Italy don't need a full bailout of their own, only secondary-market intervention.
"A full bailout of Italy and Spain seems to us difficult to contemplate under any circumstance. It is also unlikely because the savings surplus of Germany (and other North euro zone) has to go somewhere," said Gros in an email.

What better place to enjoy horseback riding than in Puerto Vallarta, one of the most scenic and weather-friendly locales around? Picture yourself atop a quarter horse, a thoroughbred or a mestizo (mixed breed), exploring a jungle trail replete with orchids, catching the refreshing overspray of a nearby waterfall or riding alongside a picturesque river or high in the verdant foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, where the panoramic views of the bay are breathtaking. (In Jalisco, an ordinance prohibits riding on the beach; however, north in the state of Nayarit in Bucerias, for example, it is possible.)
With charreria the national sport of Mexico, and Puerto Vallarta several times the host to the national charro (cowboy) championships, riding opportunities offering various kinds of experiences are multiple. A variety of horseback riding opportunities is listed with most large hotels and travel agencies in Vallarta. Reputable venues are well established, offering bi-lingual, experienced guides; well-cared-for, cooperative horses suited to riding; safe, scenic trails; and liability insurance (just in case). Some offer transportation and include beverages/meals, with prices that reflect these amenities.
One of the longest-established venues is Rancho Ojo de Agua (224-0607) in the Aralias neighborhood just a few kilometers from central Vallarta, which offers three- and five-hour rides as well as overnight camping adventures, complete with meals, equipment, lodging and horses. All experience levels are welcome, and riders as young as six can participate. (Younger children may ride along with a parent/adult.) Groups are limited to 10 people or fewer to allow more attention from the experienced guides and greater opportunity to canter or gallop, if desired. All of the ranch's two dozen horses are bred, raised and meticulously cared for on site, with the best selected for riding. English saddles are used for lessons and Western for riding. The trails, perched at the edge of the foothills in the rustic village of Playa Grande, offer a close-up look at the area's diverse flora and exotic birds, among other natural phenomenon.
In the South Side, two easily accessible booths staffed throughout the day allow visitors meandering around town to arrange for a riding experience in nearby Paso Ancho, an authentic Mexican colonia bordering the sleepy Cuale River. This convenient venue, known as Rider Ranch (228-0889), is a cooperative of 11 individuals, whose horses are assigned alternately, giving each an equal chance for business and also providing the horses with some recuperative downtime.
Rancho Charro (224-0114), owned by an American horsewoman, is another high-profile venue, offering options from a three-hour tropical forest ride to an eight-hour riding adventure through the jungle and Mexican countryside, including brunch and dinner. A special package is available for cruise ship passengers, which includes round-trip transportation.
An important criterion in selecting one of Vallarta's many horseback-riding venues is one's level of experience — and personal preference for a slow, nose-to-tail ride on flat terrain, amid many other riders, whose presence seems to lend support, or a solo or small group ride that allows more personal control of the horse and greater opportunity to test one's true riding skills.
Mexican saddles may take some getting used to, as the "tree," or seat portion, is made from wood cushioned with felt, as opposed to the metal version covered with padding and finished in leather more familiar to riders outside Mexico. Horse-lovers in search of Mexican-made riding equipment to ship back home can purchase fancy spurs, bits, authentic charro hats and blankets economically in nearby Pitillal at a local tack shop (La Regional Talabarteria, 224-2542).

Michael Bublé ended his current tour with a final stop in Atlantic City, NJ. Performing in concert in a packed Boardwalk Hall, Saturday evening, July 12, 2014, Buble' seemed to be right on his game.
Bublé backed by an exceptional 13-piece band put on an outstanding two-hour show which opened with a pyrotechnics display followed by Bublé taking the stage.
Bublé, 38, who is from British Columbia, Canada certainly showed he has one of the most gifted voices in the current entertainment business.
Making a grand entrance in a low light silhouette, Bublé slid down a ramp with his opening number, "Fever," a classic song that has been a favorite of singers including Elvis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ray Charles.
Following the opening with the upbeat number, "Haven't Met You Yet," which was very well received by the audience which took that as a cue to stand up and dance at their seats.
Taking a minute to chat with the audience, Bublé asked, "All you people holding up those signs, if you will bring them forward I will sign them after the show. I want you to know, I do not want to sign them but I am trying to prevent the people sitting behind you from attacking you, so bring them up and I will sign them, I promise," said Bublé with a chuckle.
"Crazy Love" from Bublé's fourth album from 2009, reached the top spot on the adult contemporary charts and is his highest-charting single on Billboard. Bublé's "Home," his first Billboard charting song in 2005, which he wrote, was dedicated to military personnel. Finishing the series of songs with 'Get Lucky - Daft Punk, Bublé moved to the back stage which became part of the audience.
Bublé sang covers of "To Love Somebody," a Bee Gees song and The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love," which unleashed confetti styled paper hearts falling down on the audience.
Bringing the main portion of the show to a close, Bublé sang a lively if not exhausting version for him of the Elvis tune "Burning Love," and "It's a Beautiful Day."
The encore took the audience by surprise as Bublé on a platform above the audience performed "Cry Me a River," which included more pyrotechnics. "Save the Last Dance For Me" and "A Song for You," brought the show to a close to wild applause and whistles. Bublé had the audience in the palm of his hand and certainly has brought his one time lounge act to the big stage with class and a following.

The Chosen
by Chaim Potok
Billy Merrit
Character Analysis
A preteen boy also in the eye ward of the hospital. He was blinded in the car accident that killed his mother. His father was driving the car, although the accident wasn't his fault, and is still alive. Billy is in the hospital getting an operation, which has the potential to restore his vision but doesn't. Like Mr. Savo, Billy is a completely two-dimensional character. He's essentially only in the story to help Reuven learn how precious his own eyes are, and maybe to show us that Reuven is capable of empathy.

Skip to comments.Popular Bathroom Wipes Blamed For Sewer Clogs Nationwide
Posted on 09/23/2013 12:11:51 PM PDT by BenLurkin
The National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which represents 300 wastewater agencies, says it has been hearing complaints about wipes from sewer systems big and small for about the past four years.
That roughly coincides with the ramped-up marketing of the flushable cleansing cloths as a cleaner, fresher option than dry toilet paper alone. A trade group says wipes are a $6 billion-a-year industry, with sales of consumer wipes increasing nearly 5 percent a year since 2007 and expected to grow at a rate of 6 percent annually for the next five years.
Manufacturers insist wipes labeled flushable arent the problem, pointing instead to baby and other cleaning wipes marked as nonflushable that are often being used by adults.
My team regularly goes sewer diving to analyze whats causing problems, said Trina McCormick, a senior manager at Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Cottonelle. Weve seen the majority, 90 percent in fact, are items that are not supposed to be flushed, like paper towels, feminine products or baby wipes.
(Excerpt) Read more at losangeles.cbslocal.com ...
If they didn't regulate the amount of water down to nearly nothing per flush, this might not be the problem that it is.
Sue the mfgrs' butts, much like the gun sue-ers (sic).
If they are strong enough to be wet and not tear, then they are NOT made for flushing, no matter what they say.
you know, my job ain't so bad after all......
Mark Steyn was hilarious on this today on Rush. Wipezilla throwing the Tower of London over its shoulder.
Are these the ones that several NFL linemen are promoting (according to Rush)? "Defunk your Drawers", "Clean your Crack" or something like that...
I know some folks with their heads in the sand who have no problem with gov't bans on guns, etc. But I bet they'll have a HUGE problem with the gov't banning their convenient little wet nappies.
This can't be.
Hollyweird dictated that people only use one square.
The people doing this are from other countries and this is not a new issue.
They don't have access to running water or what we think of as a toilet.
Additionally, they live in homes/apartments that are rented and think that the plumbing just gets magically fixed.
If they had to pay for the repairs they would learn in short order what goes in the toilet and what goes in the trash.
I'm reminded of a sign in a bathroom, in Puerto Aventura, Mexico:
"Do not put anything in this toilet that was eaten first!"
They are a godsend for those of us with difficult to clean nether regions.
wait... what??
The very definition of a dirty job, especially inspections/repairs conducted while the system is operational. (Yes, this happens frequently.) You learn to jump out of the way when you hear certain sounds.
If babies are the target, they are called baby wipes. If NFL linemen, then perhaps mud flaps would be a better term.
And if the sewers can't handle them, I say make bigger sewers because the ladies in my family would never, ever give up using this essential equipment.
"Manufacturers insist wipes labeled flushable arent the problem,"
Oh yes they damned well are. They DO NOT break down like toilet tissue does.
I've been on countless calls to snake lines as big as 3 and 4 inches with these damned things blocking them. I have had to cut them off my snake with a sharp knife.
Something like this is NOT flushable I don't care what it says on the package.
If you use them with a septic system, they will also destroy it in short order.
Low flow toilets make the likelihood of clogging greater but the lines will plug with a high flow toilet also.
You might as well be trying to flush flannel rags down the toilet.
I got some 1950's-era commodes with the new investment property. They are coming with me when I sell it. You can flush more-or-less anything down these puppies.
Like Dingy Harry's and Pelosi's mouth from being attached to der Furher.
They don't know about the 3 shells?
LOL....love Albert Brooks.
I've noticed in the last several years,people using paper towels as toilet paper.
This has lead to paper towels being thinner.
"They dont know about the 3 shells?"
That's funny, right thar I tell yo.
Howard Stern has been using these for that for years now. You can blame him for any Long Island sewer clogs. Only girly men and retards use this crap. Unreal!
My team regularly goes sewer diving to analyze whats causing problems, said Trina McCormick...
If she and her team get tired of that job - they could always go into politics.
Been using them for 10 plus years and have never had a problem. It is all a matter of how much you use and how much bulk is there. (flush once for the bulk, twice for the remainder /Peter Griffin).
It's really pretty simple... if it's going to easily plug the toilet, you're trying to flush too much at once.
I tried them once. Made me feel like I wasn't quite ...done . Ended up having ti finish up with dry toilet paper.
A plumber arguing against wet wipes and grease is like a chicken supporting Col. Saunders.
Still the best.
I'm sure they wouldn't want to go that low on the respectibility ladder.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
So they use them twice? /s
I'm gonna have to do some google research to figure this out.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc can really stink up a situation.
I am redoing my bathrooms and I am keeping my non-lo-flow commodes that were installed before they passed the law that outlawed the sale of non-lo-flows.
When I am riding through my neighborhood and I see old commodes sitting at the curb, I feel like I need to remind the owner how much better that old commode is.
Why are your nether regions hard to clean? On seco.second thought never mind.
Put everyone on their own septic system and they'll learn this real fast.
Government regulation causes as many if not more problems than the complaints "they say" they are addressing.
I assume you meant NOT eaten first? Otherwise what's them point ?
Ewww...just how did you notice that?
into one of these....
What could go wrong, right??
See post 15 if you own your sewer line.
I was in tears!
Charmin is just as bad.
Its not as nasty, gross, or smelly as you might thing.
I have an "old fashion" commode in my basement. It is in perfect condition and awaiting some future renovation. It is now worth at least 4x what it was originally purchased for. There must be a black market for these things.
I also have about 50 100watt incandescent light bulbs. I am working on the import of some old fashion dishwasher soap and laundry detergent.
Anyone need some asbestos roof shingles? LOL
Sewer clogs? Hope and change at work.
If you lack an imagination, I'm not going to try to help.
Those are definately NOT flushable!!!
So is that how you "bleach the button"....?

We don't hear much about Josh Fox, the auteur of Gasland these days, and after a debate with The Breakthrough Institute yesterday, we may not be hearing many more debates any time soon.
Fox, along with UK cowards like Greenpeace's Lawrence Carter, has had a history of ignoring anyone who doesn't agree with them. That makes things nice and simple. Carter can then paint anyone who wants to have a rational discussion about shale as right wing climate change denier or JR Ewing. He consistently has the support of the Guardian although even they described his choice for debate as a "stunt" in Tatton, but Greenpeace's publicity machine is so powerful that the BBC NorthWest and even the Daily Mail give his side of the story - and his alone.
I've been trying to engage Fox for years, but he's turned down chances to debate on TV from London to Beijing to Cape Town. He once promised to show up for an online debate at the FT, but allegedly his submission was so rambling and libelous as to be unprintable. My favourite would be with the clinically barking, if mostly factually correct and always entertaining left answer to Rush Limbaugh, Max Keiser on RT. This would have been the WWF of the shale debate, but I'm not referring to what was formerly called the World Wildlife Fund, but the World Wrestling Foundation. With Fox, Keiser and me involved, we could all retire on the DVD royalties, assuming men in white coats had not come to lock us all up.
The Breakthrough Institute defines their mission as being " to accelerate the transition to a future where all the world's inhabitants can enjoy secure, free, prosperous, and fulfilling lives on an ecologically vibrant planet."
In short, the Institute is just the kind of left wing think tank that should support No Hot Air in the UK. Unfortunately in the UK, Greenpeace/WWF and FoE have the purse strings to foundation gravy trains wrapped around their fingers far tighter than they control access to journalists.
The BI and Josh Fox debated on line yesterday, at Salon.com and it may be a long time before we see Josh Fox venture outside his self-reinforcing echo chamber created by the Plastic Ono Lennon Band, where renewables have already happened if you want it. Read the whole thing but here are some highlights, starting with the BI case:
Pretty straightforward. Gas is killing coal in the United States. US emissions down faster than any nation in the world over last five years thanks to gas. Trade offs? Yes. But overall climate benefits significant. Gas has much less impact on landscape than coal and is much cleaner.
Let me begin by saying that my experience with this issue is not theoretical...it begins with the Natural Gas industry knocking on my door at my home, in the Delaware River basin, the watershed for roughly 16 million people. The Nat Gas industry came knocking to lease our land...they have now leased 80,000 acres in my county and I am completely surrounded by leased properties.
I have visited hundreds of well sites and gas fields and have reported on the crisis it creates all across the US and in Europe Australia and Africa.
To your point, it is simply untrue that there is any benefit to switching to Nat Gas from Coal. As NOAA has pointed out, methane leakage in gas fields is rampant which cancels out any reduction on CO2.
I could start off with a reality check about his home in Milanville PA, which actually is nowhere near the gas fields but we'll just let him ramble
BI: The plural of anecdote isn't data and ugly pictures don't prove your point. Energy production is an ugly business, no matter what the technology. Solar = incredibly toxic. Promised Land was originally going to be about industrial wind farms.
Josh, please tell me how your going to fix the intermittence problem with renewables. Or tell me you are pro-nuclear. If not then anti-gas = pro-coal.
Fox: Well, it is true that the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. But based on physical laws of nature, the wind is blowing harder when the sun isn't shining. By bundling renewable resources we can solve the problem. Here's Mark Jacobson's landmark front page scientific American plan for renewables. scientificamerican.com
Simple enough. What could possibly stop us? The SciAm plan calls for
3.8 million large wind turbines, 90,000 solar plants, and numerous geothermal, tidal and rooftop photovoltaic installations worldwide.
Don't forget to click your heels Josh, although he trips up over those pesky little laws of physics the oil companies come up with:
There are also great emerging solutions for harnessing wind power. Compressed air, is one solution which I am really fond of. India just built a compressed air car. The air fills a tank, which is released to fire the pistons of the engine. The same can be done with wind projects, the wind turbines compress air to store energy for when you want to run your turbines to produce electricity.
The BTI:
Jacobson calls for covering basically the entirety of New Mexico and Arizona with industrial solar farms. That's my backyard. So again Josh, why my backyard and not yours. And sorry Josh, there is no law of nature that says the wind has to blow when the sun doesn't shine. The irony of your position is that the only way renewables can scale at is with, wait for it... lots of natural gas back up!!!
And on and on.
For those interested in some debate at least, I'm going to be at the Building Centre in London next week and another event in Cardiff on April 3 run by the Tyndall Centre, who are at least open to debate
Perhaps Lawrence Carter or James Murray of Business Green or the Guardian or Roger Harrabin of the BBC will show up. WWF, Greenpeace and the FoE recently refused to attend a Council for the Protection of Rural England shale gas event because Cuadrilla Resources were invited. Why let facts get in the way when your mind is already made up.
Recently, TNO the Dutch Scientific Research Centre produced this argument map on shale gas in Europe. Science is a good place to start. Click on the image to see more:
