In a physical, defensive showdown that went down to the wire, Olympiacos Piraeus qualified to the Top 16 from Group B by downing Laboral Kutxa Vitoria Gasteiz 59-52 at home on Thursday. Olympiacos was without four key players and lost superstar Vassilis Spanoulis midway through the fourth quarter, but managed to improve to 6-1 and seal its ticket to the next stage. Laboral dropped to 4-3. Spanoulis led the winners with 10 points, but seven other players scored 6 or more. Ioannis Bourousis led Laboral with 16 points and 15 rebounds. Jaka Blazic and Darius Adams each had 11 points for the visitors. Vangelis Mantzaris led a 12-1 opening run, which allowed the hosts to keep a 12-6 margin after 10 minutes. Olympiacos boosted its margin to 36-22 at halftime, but Laboral, led by an outstanding Bourousis, cut its deficit to 46-39 at the end of the third quarter and then again to 51-49 with three minutes left. Mantzaris hit a key three-pointer and Ioannis Athinaiou also buried one from beyond the arc to seal the outcome down the stretch.
D.J. Strawberry got Olympiacos going with a reverse layup and Spanoulis scored in penetration for a 4-0 lead. Laboral was held scoreless in the opening three minutes, while a layup Dimitrios Agravanis and a three-pointer by Vangelis Mantzaris prompted the guests to call timeout at 9-0. After Adam Hanga split free throws, a three-point play by Mantzaris gave the Reds their first double-digit lead, 12-1. Bourouis tried to change things with a three-point play and Fabien Causeur added a layup off a steal to make it 12-6. Ioannis Papapetrou left the game with a sprained ankle, though he would later return. Olympiacos started to miss shots, as the game turned into a physical battle. Neither team scored in the final five minutes of the quarter, combining for 13 missed shots and 8 turnovers.
Othello Hunter scored around the basket early in the quarter and a coast-to-coast layup by Daniel Hackett set a 16-6 Olympiacos margin. Laboral kept struggling to score and Spanoulis downed his trademark stop-and-pop jumper for a 12-point lead. Jaka Blazic hit an off-balance shot and soon added a close basket to keep the guests within 19-10. Agravanis made free throws, but Blazic answered with a put-back basket. Ioannis Athinaiou boosted his team's lead to 23-12. Blazic struck from downtown and a put-back layup by Alberto Corbacho caused the Reds to call timeout at 23-17. Bourousis scored down low, but Hunter dunked and a layup by Strawberry gave Olympiacos a 27-19 advantage. Bourousis took over with a put-back basket, but Hunter and Agravanis answered with consecutive layups. Papapetrou returned to action and ignited the crowd with a reverse layup and a jump hook off a spin move, good for a 36-22 Olympiacos lead at halftime.
Bourousis hit a mid-range jumper immediately after the break and Hanga added a fast break layup that made it 36-26. Spanoulis stepped up with a second-chance basket, as Laboral switched to a small lineup with Hanga at power forward. Olympiacos dominated the game with outstanding defense, now allowing Laboral to run its offense through Bourousis. Spanoulis and Darius Adams exchanged foul shots and a one-handed dunk by Hunter brought the crowd to its feet at 42-28. Hackett took over with a wild driving layup, which Adams matched with an acrobatic basket. Blazic scored in penetration and free throws by Bourousis gave Laboral hope at 44-34. Olympiacos could not find a way to the basket and free throws by Bourousis got the guests within single digits. Adams swished a seven-meter bomb, but Michais Tsairelis beat the buzzer with a layup that gave the Reds a 46-39 lead.
Hackett hit a tough turnaround shot early in the quarter, but Corbacho immediately answered from downtown to keep Laboral within 48-42. Spanoulis split free throws and left the game after that due to a leg injury, Bourousis hit a jump hook and a layup-plus-foul by Hanga made it a 2-point game with 7 minutes left. Olympiacos lacked ball circulation without Spanoulis on court, but Papapetrou shined with a one-handed breakaway dunk that caused the guests call timeout at 51-47. Adams scored off a midcourt steal to keep Laboral within 2 with three minutes to go. After Mantzaris buried a critical three-pointer, Adams made free throws. Athinaiou struck from downtown, which prompted Laboral to stop the game at 57-51 in the next-to-last minute. Bourousis split free throws and a layup by Strawberry sealed the outcome, 59-52, as the guests never recovered.

You can find part one here and part two here.
Next up was Nightmaricomio, a show that I knew nothing about, except that it had been highly recommended by my friend Michael Shaw Fisher.
There seemed to be a lot more shows involving physical theater and dance last year than this. However, if Nightmaricomio was the only such show, it would be worth the effort to see it. It stands out among all of the previous physical theater and dance offerings as a shining star of what can be accomplished without words.
The Fringe is the perfect time to experiment and bring ground-breaking works to the public, and Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group has done a fine job of introducing us to their company. Featuring an incredible cadre of perfomers, Nightmaricomio delivers where so many others have failed - it is a breath of fresh air and a spectacle to behold.
The amazing cast includes Redetha Deason, Hannah Kaplan, Leif La Duke, Sebastian Munoz, Vivi Thai, Erin Treanor, Kevin Van Cott, Roger K. Weiss and Corey Zicari. Of those performers, I was thoroughly impressed with Kaplan and Zicari, who delivered on so many levels. Curiously, Zicari does not consider herself a dancer, although she was thoroughly fantastic in her expressive dancing in the show.
The show is like being on an acid trip without the drugs, and will stimulate all of your senses. I especially loved watching the drummer's glowing drum sticks as he performed a rocking drum solo in pitch black.
Only one more performance of this amazing show on June 26 at 8:30 p.m. Don't miss it.
Last but not least for the night was the Best of 25 PPH from the incredible minds at Theatre Unleashed.
Ably co-directed this year by Corey Lynn Howe and Courtney Sara Bell, the cast includes Ben Atkinson, Bell, Jenn Scuderi Crafts, Liz Fenning, Liesl Jackson, Heather Lake, Jim Martyka, Lee Pollero and Jacob Smith.
The show is like a mash-up of what makes Fringe special. It offers 25 short skits in less than an hour (58:47 to be exact), some of which are serial parts of a bigger skit, and all of which are hilarious and wonderfully acted. Just like a string of Saturday Night Live skits where the object is to get the actors to break character, it is always fun to watch and see if that can be done. It happened several times last night, and made the evening that much better.
Attending a 25 PPH show is a rite of passage at the Fringe, and this year's offering is the perfect one to experience what is definitely one of the best of Fringe traditions.
Remaining shows are June 21 at 4:30 p.m., June 25 at 8:30 p .m. and June 27 at 11:55 p.m. - Don't miss this show!

Pack a picnic and head to the Hollywood Bowl this Saturday and Sunday June 14 and 15. The annual Playboy jazz festival is back with another weekend of outstanding music.
Saturday's lineup includes standout jazz stars Kenny Barron trio with special guest Ravi Coltrane, Arturo Sandoval Big Band, British singer-pianist Jamie Cullum, and Diane Reeves, with the highlight of the day, a tribute to famed jazz, pop, R&B and funk artist George Duke who wowed festival audiences last year and died from leukemia in August 2013.
In honor of their longtime friend and collaborator, singer Al Jarreau and bassist Stanley Clarke will headline "Celebrating George Duke!" on Saturday evening. This promises to be something special with Grammy nominated musical director John Beasley conducting, Stanley Clarke, and Al Jarreau, hosting, along with Dukes cousin Dianne Reeves, Ndugu Chancler, Byron Miller, Paul Jackson Jr. Little John Roberts, Greg Phillinganes, and Jose James.
In a Jazz Times interview Al Jarreau stated, "George was more than straight-ahead music. He was a pop and R&B guy and also one of the best vocalists you ever heard. One of the lessons to learn is this raw love for all kinds of music, especially for kids today. Listen to everything – don't get boxed in; there's a world of music."
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear jazz greats honoring a jazz great.
Sunday promises a stellar lineup featuring tonight show drummer Kevin Eubanks, Hammond B-3 organ master Dr. Lonnie Smith and guitarist, vocalist George Benson with special guest Earl Klugh.
Saturday, June 14 3-11pm
Sunday, June 15 3-10:30pm

Basketball fans don't have to wait for the NBA season to start on October 28. FIBA, the International Federation of Basketball, has upgraded its world championship series to a stellar World Cup of Basketball event. The highly anticipated championship starts this Saturday, August 30 in six cities across Spain. With the U.S. Open and start of the UEFA Champions League soccer season competing for sports fans' attention, building an audience for an all new world class sports event has been a challenge. FIBA is pursuing a textbook approach to get off to a good start.
FIBA is building a foundation for future World Cup of Basketball success with selective trial pricing. Standard seats furthest from the court sell for only 12 Euros, about sixteen U.S. dollars. The Los Angeles Clippers offer 300 level seats in this price range for Monday night games to encourage trial and build passion for basketball. The basketball marketing pros also know this is a good way to build e-mail marketing lists to upsell and cross sell in the future. But prices for popular NBA weekend games at the Clippers are twice as expensive and many of the November and December games are already sold out. The FIBA World Cup of Basketball is also matching NBA pricing for premium seats, which are being sold for 200 Euros in the finals matches, comparable to the $250 going rate for NBA weekend games.
FIBA is also augmenting the NBA audience by using the NBA Naismith Cup trophy as the centerpiece of its advance marketing campaign, a global trophy tour combined with fan events co-hosted with national basketball federations from Mexico City to Helsinki. While this has not had the prominence of the Olympic torch relay, the marketing objective has been similar. Pre-event publicity helps build and audience and encourage fans to plan ahead to participate with their own travel and ticket purchases. Of course, many sports fans do not need much more encouragement to plan a trip to Spain, one of the world's most popular travel destinations. Spain's newly inaugurated monarch, King Filipe VI, is an avid sports fan who worked together with basketball legend Pau Gasol on the Olympic bid of Madrid.
The hastag "#SPAIN2014" connects fans with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Fans who want even more inside news can subscribe to the daily FIBA newsletter. The mascots Ole and Hop are animated to appeal to the youth audience. A classic "prestige" sponsorship from Swiss watchmaker Tissot is being matched by an prominent role for a less well known name – Molten Basketballs, which is putting a spotlight on American sports science know-how.
This marketing launch is not perfect. The trophy tour lists the World Cup dates as "(30 August-14 August)" a painful proofreading error that should not happen in a world class organization. But learning from mistakes is an important lesson that well managed sports events teach us all. Taking a classic approach to marketing a new world class sports event is giving FIBA valuable lessons about the 21st Century approach to marketing success. That is to advance beyond building an audience to building a community.

How can u leave BU out, with a jump from 18 to tied for 13th with tie-breaker. I realize they gotta beat Northeastern, but suddenly they went from a team that needed to probably WIN if not make the title game to – thanks to Wisc. over CC in particular, and Dartmouth falling to Harvard, they might actually be able to make they tourney with a win on Sunday &, depending on who they would get in semis, that alone might now be enuff. Talk about reversal of fortune.
- Jay
Is there any doubt which Scott this is?
Anyway, who left BU out?
- Jay
As for the brackets, I agree with all the matchups. Tried getting UMD to Green Bay, but it's nearly impossible under the current rankings. Only thing I might change is putting the UND/UNO/Miami cluster in St. Louis rather than GB.
- Food For Thought
What happens when SLU beats Yale again tonight?
- HockeyEast fan
The #1 team in PWR has 2 weeks to rest, for another 1 and done. ND (North Dakota … don't want to upset WCHA fans!) or BC deserve to be the true #1 team.
- Typical WCHA troll
North Dakota deserves to be number one because we have SEVEN NCAA TITLES. And 7 > 4. HAHAHAHAHAHA! And the WCHA is just so awesome!
I see you still donot have enough pride to use your own identity and refer to a sockpuppet instead.
Sad, it must be an eastern trait.
- Typical WCHA troll
It's sad you are resorting to ad hominem attacks now.
But at least I use my own screen name rather than fall back to a sock puppet one.
- Typical WCHA troll
What screen name are you talking about? Do you post as B.D. somewhere else? Whatever. You're as anonymous as I am. And your posts are still weak. I read the junk you posted on the last bracketology story. Nothing even remotely connected to bracketology. And when you try to respond to other people you completely put words in their mouth and attack an argument they never made. Either you have a reading comprehension problem or you're a complete troll. Which is it?
I have always posted as "B.D."
You were on the previous bracketology post? As what?
Oh thats right, "Sockpuppet."
- Typical WCHA troll
And you posts are still full of idiocy. Care to address that? Of course not. You are in fact a typical WCHA troll.
- Jason
Would probably clinch the number 1 seed for Yale in the PWR. HaHa
Yale is that the same YALE that sent the Sioux home last year.Now thats funny HA HA HA
I thought it was funnier when UNH sent them packing in Manchester 2 years ago.But that was in N.H. and the Sioux were tired from traveling and all the other excuses you come up with . LMAO
Does it matter you moron North Dakota will still be a 1 seed in their regional so why you always crying .Did the Yale loss really disturb your rational thinking ? Get over it let the games begin.
- Jason
- unbiased opinion
Problem is if BC Yale and UND all make it to Frozen Four, BC and ND would play each other…not fair. BC and UND shouldnt meet until champ game, should they both make it there. Undisputed #1 and #2 teams in nation
- Inigo Montoya
Undisputed? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
- Snitka1
Not sure how you can say that RIP still can make it. Putting the rankings aside, their quality of play in the last 2 months has been inconsistent at best. Remember they lost the first round of the ECAC playoffs to Colgate, the number 12 of the conference. I think the final list shoudl not include RIP as they have not deserved it. And after this weekend, depending on what happens to Yale, perhaps Union should be moved up yet again – ahead of Yale.
- Scott Fitzgerald
Agree.. RPI out…Union ahead of Yale for sure
- Rangers99995
Being in the tournament is about the body of work for the whole season, not just how they've played recently. It's only fair to look at the entire schedule and compare it to the other teams that are on the bubble.
- HockeyEast fan
Seems like Yale "wins" by losing to St. Lawrence?? How is it that Yale continues to be #1 when they are stumbling so badly to close the schedule. The "TUC" is so strong for Yale, but they've tied Colgate (#12) and lost to St. Lawrence (#11) over their last 3 games, but continue to be #1 in PWR?
Meanwhile, a team like Wisconsin, Colorado or BU will probably not make it into the Tourney (I'm guessing only 1 of these 3 will make it)… while RPI, a team that is already done for the year, suddenly is back in?
Just PWR-oddity?? I don't understand how ECAC can have 4 teams in at the moment, they are not that strong a conference; compared to WCHA, HE and CCHA (just my opinion).
- HockeyEast fan
But I do agree … I check the PWR after each night's games to see where I'll be travelling to watch BC! I'm guessing I'm heading back to New Hampshire in 2 weeks!
Keep up the daily Bracketology columns on weekends … love the debate(s)!
Great job!
- simple math
Before you keep complaining about which teams are in you need to familiarize yourself with how the Pairwise works and then look at the individual comparisons. It's not that hard.
- Jason
There are a couple teams on the bubble in the TUC that if they drop out would hurt Yale quite a bit. Princeton and Quinnipiac. would drop them to 8-3.
- learn how PWR works
How is it that Yale continues to be #1 when they are stumbling so badly to close the schedule.
Because Pairwise doesn't take into account when you win or lose. It's really simple.
- Djkurve
Would do you think would have to happen for Cornell to sneak in?
- Unionalum
Cornell would have to win at Atlantic city to be in the final 16. Having said that I have stated before that RPI should not even be in consideration. The final numbers include early season games so if Cornell has to have their bad early start unclouded then RPI has to have their most recent poor performances included and not live on their laurels.
- Revrag28
RPI is not going to get in. Everything just went their way last night. That will change tonight and tomorrow. ECAC will have at most three in depending on who wins the tourney. Yale and union are locks and then if one of them do not win the tourney. I could see Cornell winning the tourney to make three from ECAC. That is the most they deserve. RPI losing to Colgate sealed their fate.
- bigred23
I'm a Cornell fan and Cornell is not going to win the tournament. Even if Yale gets eliminated this weekend (and Cornell gets Dartmouth or Harvard in the semifinals) Cornell has shown no ability to hang with Union.
- Rangers99995
The U is awesome this year. It's nice to hear a Cornell fan give them credit. Watching U play this year reminds me of those Cornell teams with McKee in net where you knew they were just going to beat you somehow and give up only 15 shots. The scariest part is that most of their top players are underclassmen this year !
dont count SLU out!!! there upsetting everyone they can match with any team in the country rit now!
- Rangers99995
What you said seems likely. I could see them squeezing in as the 15th though. If there no upsets in the tournaments I think they"ll be in. Who would be in instead of them ? Maine ??
- Timmay
The NCAA would never allow Denver to play in either the GB or StL regional.
- Jay
I know DU had to go to Albany last year, but weren't they in a western regional in 2009?
- Jason
Yale has to lose to good teams to hurt themselves in the PWR. How dumb is that? They are losing RPI comparisons to only ND and BC. Since neither BC or ND played Yale H2H you throw out that portion it.
So….It comes down to ND or BC winning either Teams Under Consideration or Common Opponent vs Yale.
BC and Yale share Vermont and Colgate as COp's. Yale 2-0-1, BC 3-1-0. BC loses the COp part because they lost a game to Vermont and Yale took care of buisness.
ND and Yale share just Colorado College as their COp. Yale 1-0-0, ND 1-1-0. ND loses because they didn't sweep their series with CC and Yale beat CC in their only game.
So another words, Yale won't lose the COp to either ND or BC.
TUC is remaining factor. Yales current TUC is .8000. ND is .7121. BC is .6875. Not possible for ND or BC to get up to .8000 with so few games remaining. So it comes down to Yale having to lose to good teams or there is a shift in the TUC and teams like Princeton and Quinnipiac drop out.
- tweak23
Yale has to lose to good teams to hurt themselves in the PWR. How dumb is that?
It's the same rule that has been applied to everyone for years. As for Common Opponents, schedule more non-conference games. Going from memory, WCHA usually have 8 non-conference games. I think North Dakota played at least two of those games against WCHA teams. Yale did the same thing. I do give credit to North Dakota for showing willingness to travel (Cornell, Harvard, Maine in recent years). More teams need to do this. And against teams with whom they are fairly matched. Example, look at Wisconsin's non-conference slate. Joke.
- Jason
I hear what you are saying. ND played Anchorage in a tournament early then Duluth for their rink opener Dec 30. Yale gets awarded for having a week nonconference schedule
I believe ND being swept by Maine is the reason.
- Crybabies
And if they played a better non-conference schedule you would be complaining about the league schedule. Get over it. When all is said and done, the ECAC will get two teams in and UND will still be a one seed with a creampuff first round game.
- Rangers99995
There's no such thing as a cream puff game in the NCAA Hockey Tournament.
- Crybabies
Point is, they are going to be a #1 seed. They get a #4 in the first round. And in all likelihood the bracket is not going to have perfect "integrity" i.e. 1 v. 8 in the second round, 2 v. 7 etc. So why get worked up about it?
- Williamson
I think New Hampshire and UNO should be switched to eliminate the WCHA matchup in the regionals.
- Nodaksioux
I don't mind this WCHA matchup, UNO is so new to the league they still feel like a new opponent to UND, add to that some good games they have played against eachother this year, and the Blaiser coaching against his former team, I think it is a great potential matchup, league opponents or not.
- sioux4ever
the pairwise is so full of eastern bias it makes me want to puke. yale being the 1 overall seed is a joke. their schedule is a joke and their non conf schedule is a joke. who are they going to schedule for non conf opponents next season the northeastern bantam allstars or maybe thats too tough they'll play the pee wee allstars. yale gets too much respect for a team that plays a powder puff schedule. play a schedule like n. dak. and see what yales record would be.
- just go away
Yes, simple math shows "eastern bias". That's what the NCAA set out to do decades ago. It was all part of a master plan to get Yale the top seed in 2011. What evil geniuses they are.
- Bruce
Can't move UNH. They host in manchester
- YouSee
If that lineup holds up, Manchester will be packed with all those local teams there. Can't spell "bubble" without bu.
If Yale Does not win the ECAC and either ND or BC win thier conference it would take the commitee big NUTZ to give Yale the overall #1.
They played no one and beat no one. When your non conference is 3 Atlantic (Sacred Heart, Air Force "LOST" , Holy Cross), 1 HE (Vermont) and 1 WCHA (Colorado College) they are truly a 3 seed at best.
- It is KRACH
If you can't even get the spelling right your argument has no merit.
- Jay
if Yale finishes #1 in PWR, not it won't.
- Stal102
Does it matter? There's no way Yale even wins its regional at this point. Whoever is the #2 or #3 in that region is lucky – probably merrimack or notre dame
I still think it would be more fair to move the second WCHA team to manchester.
Which currently looks like:
Northeast Regional (Manchester)
14 Dartmouth vs. 3 Boston College
11 New Hampshire vs. 7 Union
Either replace union or new Hamshire with UNO.
- Matt Dresens
Cant move UNH they host in Manchester
- Jay
not to mention the committee doesn't move teams to a different seed.
Just saying it would be fairer is all…
- CollegeHockeyRules
In a way, one can argue that PWR is fair since it is predefined. That said, it is so obviously flawed that it is equally easy to argue that it is not fair. Under PWR Yale can continue to lose to crappy teams and they would still continue to hold the PWR advantage over BC and North Dakota since the teams they are losing to are not good enough to be teams under consideration. Also the fact that all TUCs are treated equal in PWR is another obvious flaw. Let's face it, beating the a bottom half TUC is not as impressive as beating an upper half TUC.

The newest season of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" hasn't even premiered yet and Mimi Faust is already making waves. The reality TV star has confirmed that she and Nikko will be releasing their sex tape through Vivid Entertainment according to The Hollywood Gossip on Monday.
The Mimi and Nikko sex tape was just a rumor floating around last month. Now it has been confirmed by many including Vivid Entertainment. According to reports, the very explicit video was leaked without Mimi's consent and was going to be released anyway. In a bid to at least profit from it's release, Mimi and Nikko met with Vivid Entertainment and agreed to put their private moments on DVD for everyone to see.
In a promotional trailer released by VH1 for the upcoming season 3 of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta," the teaser shows a visibly upset Mimi finding out about the sex tape. She is very concerned about what Stevie J will do and she tells Nikko that "Stevie J is going to make my life hell." It turns out she's right too because Stevie J has already consulted his lawyers concerned their daughter and how the tape might affect her.
Stevie J and his wife Joseline are highly concerned about Mimi and Nikko's DVD release. That seems pretty hypocritical considering that Stevie J has a very popular video of the same that he made years ago with rapper Eve.
Joseline used to be a stripper and according to rumors, she may have even prostituted herself a time or two. She has a tape out herself that was talked about on the previous season of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" when she found out that Benzino and Karli Redd watched it together. It is clear that Joseline is just using Mimi's new movie as an excuse to stir up drama. Neither she or Stevie J have any room to talk.
The tape has been titled "Mimi & Nikko: Scandal in Atlanta" and has definitely been getting some attention. Said to be very explicit, a few video stills have been leaked online and they are definitely not safe for viewing at work.

After 32 days of being locked out, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman made his first new offer since the beginning of the lockout on Tuesday as the owners are offering a 50/50 split with players on all hockey related revenue.
This offer is an increase of an initial offer of 43 percent over the summer and 47 percent in September. However the 50 percent figure is still far lower than the players' current rate of 57 percent.
On Wednesday, NHL Players Association boss Donald Fehr and the players he serves mulled over the offer which also increased the age of free agency to 28 and limits all contracts to five years. Also a major component to this deal is there will be no immediate rollback in salaries.
The deal was offered as a last-ditch effort to save a full 82 game season which would mean players would not lose any money from the lockout.
"The fact of the matter is, we offered a 50-50 share of HRR, hockey related revenues," Bettman said, "and we believe we addressed the concern that players have about what happens to their salaries as a result in this year of reducing the percentage from 57 to 50."
The NHLPA seemed to have gone into Tuesday's brief bargaining session believing there would be no movement in the core economic issues separating the players and owners. The urgency to fit an 82-game schedule appears to have driven the owners to this point.
"They would still like to get a full 82-game season in and we of course share that view," Fehr said. "Our hope is after we review this, there will be a feeling from on the players' side that this a proposal from which we can negotiate and try and reach a conclusion."
So far, five Blue Jackets games have been cancelled. This proposal would allow for the Blue Jackets to make up those games later in a compact season.
In a press release from the NHL, the league says that if the deal is not reached by Oct. 25, the NHL might have to cancel signature events. One such event could imply the NHL All-Star game being hosted by Columbus this season could be lost. Losing the All-Star Game would be an economic and emotional blow not only to the Blue Jackets but the city of Columbus.
Franklin County purchased the arena in April for $42.5 million. The hope was twofold: One was to provide a stable future for the Blue Jackets so they would stay and bring economic development to the Arena District; and secondly was to attract events like the NHL All-Star Game.
Meanwhile, most of the members of the Blue Jackets have gone back to their respective hometowns after participating in informal practices in mid-September, around the start of the lockout. Forward R.J. Umberger spent Wednesday morning assisting Ohio State's hockey team and the afternoon golfing with fellow teammate James Wisniewski.
"I don't know the full details of the proposal," Umberger said. "Just whatever (TSN reporter) Bob McKenzie has reported is all I have heard. We will wait and see what our new proposal will be and I am optimistic we have something to work with."
For Umberger, he is simply ready to get back onto the ice. He had been practicing with Ohio State's hockey team. Last week, head coach Mark Osiecki and Umberger agreed to allow Umberger to be a volunteer coach of the squad until the lockout concludes.
"We train all summer to peak at a certain time," Umberger said. "We have to get ready for camp but how do you maintain it or be right back ready when they say it is time to play so it is hard to deal with it."
Though the lockout has prevented those in the NHL from taking the ice, many Blue Jackets prospects are still playing in minor, collegiate, or junior levels of hockey.
The Blue Jackets' top minor league affiliate in Springfield is off to a 2-0 start thanks in large part to goaltender Curtis McElhinney. McElhinney has started in both contests for the Falcons and has only allowed two goals in two games. Newly acquired prospect Jonathan Audy-Marchessault is among team leaders with three points (1-2-3) through two games.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 confirmed for T-Mobile USA?
There's still nothing official about the BlackBerry Curve 8520, but we're hearing that the new RIM smartphone will be released by T-Mobile USA sometime in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The source of this rumor, BGR, says that a price for the 8520 was not given, but it should be on the affordable side anyway.
Well, a low price point won't be a surprise given the features of the new smartphone, which include a QVGA display, Wi-Fi, a 2MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and quad-band GSM connectivity with EDGE.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 also has dedicated music keys and a new optical trackball which, apparently, is just plain awesome.
Bring it on, T-Mobile!

Catholic Charities Community Services' participation in the Immigrant Children's Advocate's Relief Effort (ICARE) was honored by the American Immigration Council on December 1, 2014 with the Public Service Award for "invaluable service and enduring dedication to immigrant children in need of legal representation."
The American Immigration Council bestowed this honor on Catholic Charities and its ICARE partners at its Immigrant Achievement Awards event held during the 17th Annual American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) New York Chapter Symposium at the New York Marriott Marquis in midtown Manhattan.
Jodi Ziesemer, the attorney who leads the CCCS team responsible for representing newly arrived unaccompanied immigrant minors on the New York Immigration Court's so-called "surge dockets" and Elvis Garcia Callejas, who provides "Know Your Rights" presentations to these minors and to their custodians before they attend court, accepted the award on behalf of Catholic Charities.
Their goal and that of Catholic Charities is to provide every child in immigration court with due process and a fair opportunity to explain why return to their country of origin would be harmful and dangerous.
"Jodi and Elvis, assisted by many other members of our staff, have been working tirelessly to provide information and legal screening to minors who have been appearing on the 'surge dockets' since August 13, 2014, " said Raluca Oncioiu, Director of the Immigration Legal Services Department at CCCS.
"This award recognizes the importance of their work, which has touched hundreds of minors over the past three and a half months. We are immensely grateful to the New York City Council and the New York Community Trust, for funding – together with the Robin Hood Foundation – the work of ICARE with minors who live in New York City, and to the Executive Office for Immigration Review for funding the 'Know Your Rights" presentations we provide to unaccompanied minors and their custodians who reside in New York State."

BUFFALO -- Ted Nolan may not be a native Latvian, but without him Latvia's hockey team might not be in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He also may not have returned to the NHL were it not for his work with the Eastern European nation.
Three years after being removed as coach of the New York Islanders, Nolan was hired as coach of the Latvian national team on Aug. 3, 2011. At the time, Latvia was on the outside looking in for the 2014 Olympics and needed to win its way into the Sochi Games. Nolan's task was to do his best to make that happen and turn the hockey program around.
"Coaching overseas wasn't something I ever planned on doing," Nolan said. "It was just a call. I got a call on a Wednesday night, I'll never forget it. 'Ted, are you interested in going to Latvia?' I said, 'Where is it?' They called me [back] on a Friday and I think on Monday morning I was on a plane going to Latvia."

Australian Free After Saudi Lashing
Saudi Arabia has commuted the prison term of an Australian Muslim sentenced to a year in prison
By Gabe Kahn.
First Publish: 1/12/2012, 9:47 PM
Mansour Almaribe, 45, was released from a Saudi Arabian prison after his jail term and punishment for blasphemy was reduced to 75 lashes on Thursday.
Almarbe, an Australian Muslim on Haj, was detained in the city of Medina on November 14 and accused of insulting companions of the Prophet Mohammad.
International outrage was sparked when the father of five was sentenced to 500 lashes and 12 months in jail.
However, Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd's office said he had been granted a pardon from his prison sentence, and was on his way home.
"His corporal punishment was also greatly reduced and administered in a way that did not cause physical harm," a spokeswoman for Rudd said.
Almaribe's had earlier said he suffered from diabetes and heart disease raising concerns the sentence of 500 lashes -- potentially lethal even for a healthy man -- would kill him.
Some reports say Almaribe was allowed to wear a coat while he was being whipped.
Rudd's office said they appealed for leniency to senior Saudi officials and members of the royal family.

The Black Bears look to salvage a two-game road trip as the squad faces the UMBC Retrievers in Baltimore, Md., Saturday afternoon. The game is part of a double header that will feature a UMBC women's basketball game at 1 p.m. while the men will conclude the event with a 3:30 p.m. showdown with Maine.
The Hartford Hawks used a 25-10 run late in the second half to help secure its first conference win, defeating the Maine men's basketball team, 80-65, at the Chase Family Arena, Thursday night. The Black Bears fall to 3-11 overall and 1-1 in conference while the Hawks improve to 7-10 and 1-1 in America East play.
With nine minutes remaining in the game the Black Bears used free throws from Shaun Lawton to tie things at 55-55. From that point on Hartford took control, scoring 25 points to lead them to a victory.
Xavier Pollard spurred the Maine offense recording a new career high in points, with 26, shooting 11-of-18 from the field and 3-of-4 from the stripe. Valjarevic was the only other Black Bear to hit double-digit points as he finished the game with 11.
Mark Nwakamma rebounded from a very quiet first half to finish the game with 18 points as he scored 16 in the second frame, while Yolonzo Moore II was second in scoring with 11 points.
Christian Ejiga was Maine's most effective presence in the paint coming down with a career-high 10 rebounds while Nwakamma completed his double-double bid collecting 10 rebounds of his own.
Maine's second half defense faltered allowing the Hawks to rebound from a cold-shooting first half to finish the game shooting 48 percent, including a 70 percent second half. Maine couldn't keep pace as it shot 45 percent form the field in the second frame, finishing hitting 46 percent of chances.
The Black Bears will attempt to split its two-game road swing when it takes on UMBC in Baltimore, Md., on Saturday. That game is slated for 3:30 p.m.
Like the Black Bears, the Retrievers enter the week having already played an early week game, falling to Albany on Tuesday night, in a double-OT affair, 73-72. It was UMBC's second conference game and dropped the team to 4-11 overall and 0-2 in America East play.
Freshman guard Rodney Elliot, who shared the weekly America East awards with Dimitry Akanda-Coronel this past week, has been all-the-rage at UMBC, as the first year player paces the Retrievers with 14 points per game and 3.7 assists per game. Chase Plummer and Bryan Harris are the only other Retrievers to average double-figure point totals as both average just over 10 points per contest at 10.6 and 10.5, respectively. Plummer is not only second on the points-per-game but leads the team in rebounding with six boards per contest.
The Retrievers average 69.2 points per game while they allow opponents 75.1 points per contest. They also are edged in the rebounding margin, an area the Black Bears can try and exploit. UMBC averages 37.3 boards while its opponents average 37.9.
The Black Bears currently lead the series history between the two teams 12-10 as the teams get ready for its 23rd meeting overall. Maine snapped a three-game losing skid to the Retrievers, in the team's first meeting last season as they upended UMBC 68-67, at Alfond Arena. Maine has had mixed success away from Orono, ME, as the squad has gone 6-4 when playing at the RAC. The Black Bears have also won three of the last four games in Baltimore, Md., while the Retrievers won the last meeting at the RAC.
RANKING THE BLACK BEARS (As of Jan. 6)
While the Black Bears have struggled against a tough non-conference slate so far, Maine does rank fairly highly in many categories, in both the NCAA and the America East conference.
NCAA Rankings
• Shaun Lawton is now ranked 15th in the nation in steals per game with a 2.50 mark.
• Lawton is ranked 39th in the country in total steals with 30.
• Lawton is also ranked 78th in assists per game averaging 4.8.
• Zarko Valjarevic is nationally ranked in most 3-point categories:
• 3-pointers per game – 35th
• 3-point FG percentage – 32nd
• Total 3-pointers made – 52nd
• Total 3-point Attempts – 95th
• Maine is now 25th in the country in steals per game with 8.6 per contest.
• Maine is 43rd in the country in the assists per game category with 15.5.
• Black Bears are 50th in Division I basketball in total steals with 112.
America East Rankings
• Maine is the No.1 scoring offense in the conference with 77.6 points per game.
• Maine ranks third in the league in field goal percentage with a .451 mark
• Lawton is both 2nd in the AE in assists (4.8) and first in steals (2.5).
• Valjarevic is the conference's deadliest 3-point shooter ranking first in
3-pointers per game (3.00), 3-point percentage (.448) and 3-pointers made (30)
• Lawton is ranked second in the conference in both assist turnover ratio (1.61) and assists per game (4.8)
• Team Quick Hit Rankings:
• 1st in assists per game (15.5)
• 1st in assist turnover ratio (1.12)
• 1st in steals per game (8.6)
• 1st in 3-pointers per game (7.3)
• 1st in turnover margin (0.1)
• 2nd in fewest turnovers (137)
• 2nd in total steals (112)
The Black Bears started their conference season off with 1-1 record and have an opportunity to come back home with a record above .500. Here is what they need to do to come away with a victory.
•Play a full 40 minutes: The Black Bears appeared to be in good shape against Hartford last game holding Mark Nkwamma to just one bucket in the first half and coming into halftime with a one point lead. However the second half was much different than the first as they allowed Hartford to shoot 70 percent in the final frame including a 25-10 run in the game's final nine minutes, as the Hawks won, 80-65 victory. Maine needs to find away to maintain its strong defense in the second half of games in order to close out victories.
• Rebound From Poor Rebounding: The Black Bears have had trouble in the paint so far this season. The team went from having strength in its bigs last year, to strength in the guard position. Early in the year the squad's forwards struggled, and it showed in the rebounding numbers. The Black Bears have been outrebounded in all but two games this season but in its last win against Binghamton, they won the rebounding battle. Maine seems to be getting better in the boards category as their rebounding margin has shrunk in the past five games dropping from mid-double-digit figures to now just under 10 at -9.4 per contest. That will need to continue to decrease if the Black Bears want to challenge for a conference crown.
• Maintain Hot Shooting: The Black Bears shooting and offense has been its strength in 2013-14. Maine shot 46 percent against the Hawks last game and it was the fifth time in six games that the team has managed above 45 percent in the contest. Since its game against UConn on Dec. 6, the Black Bears have averaged 47 percent from the field. Those numbers will need remain strong while the defense continues to come along on this young roster.
The Black Bears opened up conference play last weekend and for the fourth-consecutive year opened with a victory, defeating Binghamton 82-66. The Black Bears, under Woodward are now .500 when it comes to America East debuts, going 5-5 but the squad's recent success has it winning it's last for conference openers.
Maine has been one of the most competitive teams in the conference for the last four years. When breaking down the numbers the Black Bears are one of only three teams currently in the America East conference to have .500-or-better winning percentage in conference games. Coming into this season, Maine has gone 32-32 in that span. The only teams to best the Black Bears in that category are Stony Brook and Vermont, which were both 49-15. Recently departed Boston University was also in that conversation with a 46-18 mark. The Black Bears have gotten off to a 1-0 start in America East play in 2013-14.
Dimitry Akanda-Coronel for the second time in as many weeks, was named the America East Player of the Week. In the two games he played he averaged 19 points and eight rebounds while helping the Black Bears go 1-1 and nearly take the Dr. Pepper Classic tournament crown. Against Binghamton the sophomore guard secured the first double-double of his career scoring 14 points and coming down with 10 boards. In the last four games he's averaged 17 points per contest. He had started the season off scoring double-figure points in his first seven games but, before the Dr. Pepper Classic, had been mired in a slump in which he hadn't reached double-digit point totals.
If Zarko Valjarevic were a player in the popular video game NBA Jam, video game enthusiasts would hear the popular call "FROM DOWNTOWN!" an awful lot. The junior from Serbia has made his living from beyond the arc for his career and this season is no different. Coming into the week he was nationally ranked in just about every 3-pointer category including 32nd in three-point field goal percentage and 35th in three-pointers per game. He is also ranked just outside of the top-50 players in the country in total made three-pointers. In the conference he ranks first in all three of those categories.
Sophomore Shaun Lawton is making a name for himself for his deft thieving nature. Lawton made his way up to 15th in the country (coming into the week) in steals per game and currently averages 2.5 per contest, while he's ranked 39th in the country in total steals. Meanwhile he's also been an assists leader as well ranking 78th in the country in assists. The Harlem, N.Y., native not only is ranked nationally but in the conference is ranked first in both steals categories and is second in assists per game.
The Black Bears haven't had many double-doubles this year but Dimitry Akanda-Coronel put another one on the board against Binghamton last Sunday. Akanda-Coronel scored 14 points and added 10 rebounds for his first and the team's second double-double of the season. Xavier Pollard had the first as he tallied 18 points and 11 rebounds in the team's second meeting against NJIT earlier in the year. It was the first double-double since last season when Pollard scored 15 points and 12 assists vs. Siena (11/25/12), while it's the last points/rebound double-double since Troy Barnies accomplished the feat against New Hampshire on Jan. 25, 2011. This was Pollard's second career double-double.
The Black Bears this season have struggled with point's margin in the first halves of games but in its most recent win against Binghamton the Black Bears recorded its largest points margin against a Division I team this season. Maine outscored the Bearcats, 49-28 for its largest first-half lead since its game against Fisher on Nov. 10.
The Black Bears have excelled in the last two games during the opening frame. In both the game against Binghamton and the contest against Hartford, the Black Bears allowed its lowest and second lowest point totals against a Division I opponent so far this year. They limited Binghamton to 28 points last Sunday while holding the Hawks to 30 on Thursday night. Christian Ejiga had a strong first half against Hartford as well holding America East standout Mark Nwkamma to just one bucket, on 11 shots.
In its last victory against Binghamton, the Black Bears won the rebounding battle for the first time since its victory over NAIA opponent, Fisher on Nov. 10. The Black Bears have been starved for rebounds this year but in its last four games have done a much better job of coming away with the basketball. It culminated in a strong performance against the Bearcats on Sunday when Maine took away 47 boards to Binghamton's 43 while against Hartford, the Black Bears were outrebounded by just five.
In its last victory against the Bearcats the Black Bears opened the conference season 1-0 and it was in large part due to their rebounding improvements. In that game Maine had two players record double-figure rebounding totals at Dmitry Akanda-Coronel and Till Gloger came away with 10 boards apiece. That's the first time that has happened since last season, also against the Bearcats, when both Alasdair Fraser and Mike Allison tallied 11 apiece, on Feb. 16, 2013.
In what can be filed under the "call it a coincidence" file, the Black Bears' wins have only come in what are classified as day games, meaning any game that is scheduled before the 5 p.m. Maine is currently 3-2 in day games while they are 0-9 when playing games at 5 p.m. or later. We'll see if that trend continues when Maine takes on UMBC at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

As the anniversary for the September 11th terrorist attacks quickly approaches, one local church hasn't forgotten the more than 400 police officers and firefighters who were killed in the line of duty.
Sunday morning, the Panama City Church of the Nazarene in St. Andrews put their normal Sunday church service on hold in order to recognize the American tragedy, as well as honor local police and fire crews.
Everything from the sermon to the music to the slide show, and even the food, reflected the congregation's sense of gratitude for the dedicated who serve every day in Panama City.
Pastor Jim Purl, who sponsored the event, says it's just as important to remember the September 11th attacks as it is to remember the local servicemen who are the hands and feet of our community.
Some of the servicemen say they were overwhelmed with the church's kindness.
Captain Shawn Boyett with the Panama City Fire Dept. said, "It's about us, is what touches me the most. I mean, we live our lives about the public, and it's kind of good every once and a while to have it about us."
Chief John Van Etten added, "Oh, it's humbling and we really appreciate the church coming out and the chaplains that work for the PCFD, and that volunteer as chaplains that work for the PCPD. They've done a tremendous job for us and to step up and say, 'Hey, we just want to tell you thanks,' it's a great feeling and wonderful fellowship from everyone."
This is the fourth year in a row the Church of Nazarene hosted the September 11th anniversary service. Between all three attacks, almost 3,000 people lost their lives at the hands of terrorists.

What is in this article?:
- William Roe and Sons: Betting on tangerines
- Will taste better
- Looking for home run
• As a grower and shipper, William G. Roe and Sons, Inc., has long focused on tangerines, while also selling fresh oranges and other specialty citrus products. Since the mid-1990's, the company's Noble product line concentrated on 100 percent tangerine juice and also blended it with mangos, Clementines, guavas, cranberries and blood oranges. In addition, Noble markets organic citrus juices.
• With an eye on the market explosion of the California "Cutie" and Spanish Clementines, the younger Roes think Florida's tangerine business could soon take off. To do that, Florida growers need an easy-peeling seedless tangerine variety that grows well in the humid climate.
More About:
APRIL ROE PORER, right, and her brother, Gee Roe, think tangerines could rally in Florida over the next decade. with varieties competitive with fruit from Spain and California.
Looking for home run
"We haven't been able to justify an investment in tried-and-true peel uses, so this is an experiment with what we can do in an ecologically friendly way. It's one of those things we can try. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't — but it's still fun. Eventually, we'll hit a home run with something."
Great-grandfather William G. Roe started in business as a teenager, chopping ice in the Hudson River in upstate New York, and selling it in New York City. After nearly drowning when he fell through a hole in the ice, he decided to make a change and stay off the frozen river.
Those relationships made by selling ice to produce markets gave him a start in the fruit business, and he began marketing nectarines, peaches and plums grown in New York state. Before long, he wanted something to sell during winter months and settled on Florida citrus. By 1920, he had moved operations to Winter Haven.
"He was a master of marketing,"April says. "He developed all these different labels from the 1920's into the 1950's so he could sell multiple products in the same marketplace, all up and down the Eastern Seaboard. The Noble label we still use is one he designed. Blue Lake, still being used, is another one of his.
"He understood marketing and became totally focused on Florida citrus. He figured out that he could price products differently under different labels, for different buyers. He built this packinghouse in 1924 alongside the railroad, and it's still basically the same packinghouse that he built. It's a little slice of history close to our hearts."
William G. Roe died in 1953 and, in 1963, was inducted into the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame. His sons, Willard and Fred, took over the business, splitting responsibilities. Fred eventually left the company and died in 1988. Willard continued and died in 2006. He was inducted into the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame in 1992.
Willard's sons, Bill, as chief operations officer, and Quentin, the chief executive officer, head the company's efforts. Their brother, Morgan, returned to the company about a year ago, heading the juice division, after devoting several years to missionary work. Their sister, Ellen, plays a key role in managing the office.
April and Gee and a younger brother, Geoff, who now works in grove operations, are Bill's children. Their cousins Eric and Adam, Quentin's children, also work with the company. Their mother, Carol, and Bill's wife, Lori, co-own Noble Food Service and market juice and some fresh products to food service companies and distributors.
"Mom and Lori also rally the troops," April says, though rallying must not be too hard, with gung-ho troops like these.
"This business is our passion," April says. "We have a romantic attachment to Florida citrus, and it's a privilege to be part of it. We do think we're on the cusp of a revolution, if what we think is going to happen with tangerines really does occur. It's exciting — we come to work every day happy to be right here."

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of International Game Technology (NYSE:IGT) were hitting the jackpot today, jumping as much as 10% after the company agreed to be sold to Italy's GTECH for $4.7 billion.
So what: The slot machine operator will receive $13.69 in cash per share and 0.1819 shares of the new company to be formed. IGT's market value hovered near $4.2 billion today, and the stock has gained nearly 40% since talks of a deal first emerged in June. As part of the agreement, GTECH will assume IGT's $1.7 billion in net debt, and the new company will have leading positions in a number of different gaming segments, as GTECH runs lotteries in Italy and several U.S. states.
Now what: The new company will be domiciled in the U.K to take advantage of lower corporate taxes, and the companies expect the deal to result in $280 million in annual cost savings. For IGT, the merger was a result of exploring strategic options, and CEO Patti Hart said she was "extremely pleased" with the deal. IGT shareholders will receive a value of $18.25 a share from the deal, meaning the stock could easily move higher as long as no changes are made to the agreement.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Program Requirements
Program Design
The DBA degree requires the completion of 54 semester credit hours distributed as follows: common core course requirements, 21 credit hours; program core course requirements, 24 credit hours; and dissertation or research project requirements, 9 credit hours. The program course work is designed to be completed within a 2 ½ year time frame. The dissertation or culminating research project will require additional time to complete, typically a year. The program is organized and scheduled to accommodate the needs of people who maintain full-time employment while pursuing the degree. The program design permits students to complete the requirements for the DBA at their own pace. Students will have 7 years from the start of their first class to complete the DBA program. Students who take longer than that time period will have to meet with the Program Director to discuss their options.
The DBA Program is offered in two formats: the Hybrid Weeknight and Online. Cohort placement and specific start dates are dependent on preferred format. Students who start the program are expected to stay in the format that they were accepted into. Any exceptions may be discussed with the Director.
Advancement to Doctoral Candidacy
At or near the completion of the student's course work, but before embarking on the DBA dissertation or research project, the student is required to achieve a passing grade on a formal Comprehensive Examination. In addition, the student is required to recruit a dissertation committee and gain approval for a concept paper describing the purpose and approach envisioned for dissertation research. After completing these requirements, the student will advance to doctoral candidacy.
Dissertation or Research Project
The DBA dissertation (traditional five chapter or Critical Evaluation Recommendation paper) or culminating research project requires a minimum of 9 semester credit hours for completion. This process involves extensive work by the student with advisement from a dissertation committee. A dissertation or research project proposal must be completed, reviewed, and approved by the student's dissertation committee prior to the beginning of data collection in the area of the research topic. Once the dissertation or research project is complete, the student will present the results before the dissertation committee and colleagues.
Qualifications for Degree

Investigators: Denver Man's Remains Found In Neb.
Investigators in Nebraska said they have found human remains believed to have belonged to a Denver man who may have been the victim of a murder.The remains were uncovered around 11 a.m. Thursday by Nebraska State Patrol investigators in a remote area south of Chadron, Neb. The remains will be taken to Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, Neb. where they will be examined by both a forensic pathologist and a forensic anthropologist. DNA testing will also be conducted to determine if it belonged to 38-year-old Josh Bullock of Denver."Our investigators have been searching the area since Monday," said Lt. Monica Bartling, with Nebraska State Patrol. "While we must wait for the result of testing to positively identify the remains, we believe them to be those of Josh Bullock."Police believe Bullock was killed by 27-year-old Andres Gonzalez.Gonzales held officers at bay during a 14-hour standoff last week before he was shot and killed.During the standoff, he told negotiators he killed Bullock. Investigators believe Gonzalez killed Bullock on or around Dec. 1 and that he disposed of his body in a remote area of Dawes County.Investigators have not said why Bullock was killed. He had family and friends in the Alliance and Chadron areas and was last seen on Dec. 1 after visiting family members in Alliance.Bullocks burnt-out pickup was found by a rancher in a ravine southeast of Chadron on Dec. 14.

Customer Reviews
Comments: BEST LINE EVER!! I use 6lb. - 30lb test on various rigs. The line is smooth casting, easy to tie and strong as, you get the idea. I fish from a 14' Hobie Pro Angler (fresh & salt water) I have been pulled by fish and when snagged I have literally reeled myself to the snag. I use Izorline on all my reels.
From: Yakin' Moose: CA 6/9/15
Comments: bought a spool of 6# test and I love it. No memory at all. I pulled in a couple of 4lbers. I've taken it out about 5 times now. I fish at rocky points and this line works great. So far caught about 15 fish with this line and I love it so far. No complaints. I will be buying more.
From: Anthony: Lompoc, CA 3/30/15
Comments: great line, seems to be better the lighter you get, "same as the platinum" i have 8,15,20. while all work good the 8 is the best, and the 20 seems a little stiff and frays kinda easy but still a great line. will buy again.
From: Jonathon: TN
Comments: this line is over the top strong and as smooth as butter coming out my bait caster and i think this is the best line on the market ALL THE PROS SHOULD USE THIS LINE IT IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER USED AND IM LOVING IT LIKE MCDONALDS I GET FISH BACK TO BACK WITH NO PROBLEM
From: Bubba: The Best Country In The World U.S.A.
Comments: I love izorline very abrasion resistant, soft, has less memory than my 90 year old grandma, i use 8lb izorline on all my light spinning reels. Yesterday i i had a 2 lb spottie on and it darted in some rocks, i was able to wrangle him out and land him. Great stuff!!
From: Gio: San Diego
Comments: Bought the Izorline 8# on a friends recommendation love it, have had no problems with it on spinninng reels it will straighten hooks before it breaks but any bigger then 10. Found that it burns really easy and breaks on the cast often. All in all love the 10# down.
From: Scott: North Carolina, USA
Comments: Awesome line you owe it to yourself to give it a try and the premium is also a great line for pitching!
From: Jason: Illinois, USA
Comments:This line is relatively thin diameter for it's intended rating, but that is really the only positive I found about it. It is not castable on spinning gear and is very stiff. If you're looking for a good copolymer I've found P-Line CX Premium hard to beat; it's much thinner and handles better than Izorline. I'm testing Maxima Treazure line, and it is somewhere in between P-line and Izorline.

After 19 days of competition, it came down to four contestants on Saturday, March 22, 2014 in the Super Series Steer Wrestling Championship at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo inside Reliant Stadium.
Olin Hannum, from Malad, Idaho, claimed top honors, taking home the title after posting the time of 4.6 seconds.

Stock Downgrades: Dark Day in SolarCity
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
This stealth equity market continues rising to dizzying heights, and sooner or later, the lay public may pay attention. When noted investment expert Richard Bernstein tells the
New York Times
We think this could be the biggest bull market of our careers,
" it bears listening to. In March 2000, just as the Internet bubble was about to burst, he declared, "Attention Venture. Capitalists: Leave Silicon Valley for West Texas," and that advice, on the cusp on a simultaneous tech collapse and energy boom, turned out to be priceless.
