The Minnesota Wild was able to hold their own and finish their most recent series of away games strong. Most recently, they took on the Chicago Blackhawks in an away matchup on March 20th. It went to a shootout, but the Wild was able to take the victory with a final score of 3-2. From here, there are just three remaining away games, meaning you have plenty of opportunities to catch the Wild in action before the season wraps up. They will be hosting the Calgary Flames on March 24th, with tickets starting at just $57, followed by a rematch with the Blackhawks on the 29th. Tickets for that match are available for $92.
3/18/16 - If the Minnesota Wild had held on just eight more seconds, they would have won a crucial game against Ottawa Tuesday evening. The last second effort from Mika Zibanejad gave the Sens the tying score and forced overtime, which ended in a 3-2 final score that didn't favor Minnesota. Just two nights later, the Wild underwent yet another beating, this time at the hands of the New Jersey Devils. Already struggling to keep their postseason hopes alive, will the Wild be able to turn things around? Get your tickets for an upcoming home game today! Carolina will be in town on Saturday, March 19, and seats at the Xcel Energy Center are available for $38.
2/10/16 - Just two points behind Nashville's Predators, the Minnesota Wild are just one good win away from climbing a spot in the standings. Unfortunately, they trail first-place Chicago by a whopping 20 points as the NHL season passes its midway point. That shouldn't discourage fans of this team, which went on an improbable run just a year ago to sneak into the postseason against all odds. Currently, they're on a rough seven-game slide which has included four straight games of four goals allowed. With the offense unable to compensate, things are getting tense in Minnesota. Can they best the Canucks when they visit Vancouver this Monday? Order your tickets today starting at just $21 and find out firsthand!
2/3/16 - The Minnesota Wild lost to the Rangers in their most recent outing on the February 4. The Wild started out strong, ending the first period ahead 2-0. Ryan Carter and Matt Dumba scored during the first period to start the game strong. Then, the Rangers found the board early in the second period and did not stop. They scored two goals in the second period and two in the third while the Wild were unable to once again find the net. This makes for the fourth loss in a row for the Wild. They will look to break this streak when they play the Blues on February 6. You can still get tickets for $59 and up.
1/27/16 - In the middle of a week-long break for the All-Star game, fans are hoping that the Minnesota Wild are doing more than just resting up. Currently holding a fourth place spot in the Central Division, the team is struggling to keep their playoff hopes alive. Having won just four matches in the entire month of January, the Wild will kick off January with a three-game road streak that will further test their ability to come together as a team. On Feb. 2 the Wild will be in New York to play the Islanders. Just two days later (Feb. 4), they'll head across town to face the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Saturday, Feb. 6, will see Minnesota in St. Louis to face the Blues.
1/21/16 - Fans of the Minnesota Wild are excited to see their team end their losing streak. They have been in a bit of a slump, but that may all be over. Starting January 10th, the Wild starting having trouble on the ice and took five consecutive losses. On January 21st, however, the Wild really took off and managed to dominate the Los Angeles Kings, who are the leading team in the Pacific Division. They even managed to shut them out completely, with the final score coming to 3-0. The Central Division rankings are a very close race, so the Wild certainly has an opportunity to move up if they continue this momentum.
1/14/16 - A slow start cost the Minnesota Wild another home win against the Buffalo Sabres Tuesday evening. The rebuilding Sabres took advantage of the opportunity and came out strong in the first period, scoring three times. Despite the dismal start, the Wild managed to comeback in the second and third, but Buffalo held on for the eventual 3-2 win. "That's unacceptable. It's quite embarrassing," commented Minnesota center Erik Haula. He and the rest of his teammates will have a chance to redeem themselves in front of the fans at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul this Friday, Jan. 15. They will welcome the Winnipeg Jets to the arena and you can be a part of the action! Get your tickets for $76 and up.
1/6/15 - After dropping a disappointing 3-2 shootout to Tampa Bay to open 2016, the Minnesota Wild became the latest victims of the red-hot Florida Panthers, falling 2-1 on Sunday evening. They didn't need long to bounce back though, felling the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 behind a hat trick from Zach Parise. It was the fourth of the left wing's career and second this season, and it helped the Wild notch an important victory. With 49 points, Minny find themselves smack in the center of the Central Division, looking up at St. Louis, Chicago and Dallas—but with Nashville and Colorado hot on their heels. Get tickets for New Jersey at Minnesota this Sunday—seats start at just $16 if you act quickly!
12/30/15 - With their series of home games done, and a tough series of four away games coming up, the Minnesota Wild managed to finish on a high note and put themselves in a strong position. The Wild beat out the Detroit Pistons on December 28th, scoring twice in the final period to take the win, putting them at 19-10-6 and fourth in the Central Division. From here, the Wild is going to be travelling, starting by taking on the St. Louis Blues on December 31st. They will not return to Minnesota until January 7th, when they will be hosting the Philadelphia Flyers. Tickets are available starting as low as just $84.
12/21/15 - The Minnesota Wild are seriously looking at some potential additions to the roster. The team has such a strong defense that it seems clear that any incoming player will have to be solid on that side. Names being talked about include Tyson Barrie, currently with the Avalanche and Travis Hamonic, who requested a trade from the New York Islanders to be closer to his family. Minnesota also needs centers, and that means they are also keeping their eyes on Ryan Johnson, who hasn't gotten much playing time with the Blue Jackets since they made their coaching change. The Wild will play two home games this week on Monday, Dec. 21 and Tuesday, Dec. 22 against the Stars and the Canadiens.
12/16/15 - The Minnesota Wild managed to prove that they are in fact able to win a game on the road on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks, whom they shut out 2 – 0. Before that, however, Minnesota's skills were in serious question after falling to both the Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes last Monday and Friday respectively. We'll see if they can get a win under their belt at home, as they'll face the New York Rangers on Thursday night. The Wild are sure to need all the home crowd support they can get, so be sure to be there! You can get your ticket for as little as just $7.
12/9/15 - The Minnesota Wild were on a roll this week, but their three-game winning streak came to a disappointing end after back-to-back games against Colorado. After beating the Avalanche 1-0 on Saturday, the Wild were held to just 13 shots in the first two periods of Monday's game and lost 2-1 in overtime. Minnesota starting goalie Devan Dubnyk suffered a groin injury in the match and will miss the next two games, both of which are on the road. The Wild will face the Arizona Coyotes on Friday, Dec. 11 at the Gila River Arena and the San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center on Saturday. They will return to the XCEL Energy Center on Tuesday, Dec. 15.
12/3/15 - The Minnesota Wild broke their three game losing streak with a win on December 1 against the Blackhawks. Jason Pominville scored four minutes into the game to take the lead until the Blackhawks equalized in the second period. Ryan Suter scored for the WIld 12 minutes into the third period, and the team was able to hold off the Blackhawks to take the victory. Goalie Devan Dubnyk helped out the offense by making 30 saves. The Wild finally found their groove and played a strong, consistent game. The team will look to continue the trend when they host the Maple Leafs on December 3. You can still get tickets, with prices starting at $19.
11/25/15 - The Minnesota Wild may be in third place in the Central Division, but they have one of the best records in the league. With 11 wins and 5 losses, the Wild continue to surpass all expectations. However, the Wild hit a rough patch this last week when they lost three games in a row. Luckily on November 21, they dominated the Nashville Predators and gave their home crowd a game worth watching. The Wild completely shut out the Predators with a 4-0 win. See if the Wild can carry over the confidence they gained from their last game when they take on the Vancouver Canucks on November 25. Don't miss your chance to see them live.
11/18/15 - The Minnesota Wild fought hard to come back from behind when they played the Penguins on November 17. After an early goal from the Penguins, Mikael Gunland equalized the game in the 13th minute of play. However, the Penguins led by Evengi Malkin scored three more times to draw ahead 4-1. Jared Spurgeon scored a power play goal towards the end of the second period, and early in the third Mikko Koivu had a power play goal to get the Wild within one point. However, they were unable to find the net again. The Wild also lost their next outing against the Bruins. They will look to turn things around when they face the Predators on November 21. You can still get tickets for just $9.
11/11/15 - On November 12th, the Minnesota Wild took another strong victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, which lengthened their winning streak to three games. On November 14th, the Wild faced the Dallas Stars in an away game, hoping to earn another victory. They managed to tie the game up seven minutes into the final period, but they just could not take the win in the overtime period. With a final score of 2-3, the Wild ended their winning streak. They are still number 2 in the Central Division, however, so Minnesota is doing extremely well this year. They have two more away matches, then will return to Minnesota on November 21st to host the Nashville Predators.
11/4/15 - Once known as a team who thrived because of their defense, the Minnesota Wild have seen a bit of a new side to their game this season. Heading into the second month of NHL play, they are ranked 5th for goals scored and 21st in defense, nearly a complete reversal from last year's statistics. Coach Mike Yeo has recently remarked that in focusing so much on becoming a better team offensively, defensive training has perhaps been somewhat lacking. After a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues on Halloween, the Wild have had four full days to rest and are ready to face the Lightning on Saturday (Nov. 7) at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
10/28/15 - Some touching news is coming out of St. Paul this week. This past Tuesday, the Minnesota Wild signed 18-year-old Bridget Villebrun to the team for a day, fulfilling her Make-A-Wish. She has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but was able to forget her illness as she fulfilled her dream of getting to be a Wild player for one day. She got the chance to meet several players, including her favorite, Mikael Granlund. She has her very own jersey, No. 11, and even rode the Zamboni during intermission. She was definitely the VIP of the day, and it was a special one for her. The Wild are again at home this Friday, Oct. 30, to take on the Blackhawks.
10/21/15 - After losing to the Ducks 4-1 on Sunday, the Minnesota Wild are taking time at practice this week to work on executing their game plan. Specifically, this means avoiding turnovers in the neutral zone and making sure players have a united understanding of where the puck is going. Finding that fine balance between speed and staying in control can be difficult, but head coach Mike Yeo explains that opponents should "understand that we're a fast team…that's how we execute and go at them." That is what the Blue Jackets are up against this Thursday, Oct. 22, when they take on the Wild at the Xcel Center in St. Paul. Tickets are available now starting at $48.
10/12/15 - The Minnesota Wild managed to fend off the St. Louis Blues over the weekend, beating their Midwest rivals 3 – 2 on Saturday at home. Although the Wild managed to pull out a win, the game was anything but relaxing for the home crowd. The Blues came on strong in the second half of the game, at one point threatening to tie the score. Fortunately for Minnesotans, the Wild were able to hold onto their lead and take home the victory. They will now hit the road for their next three games before returning home to face the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday, October 22. Tickets start as low as $6.
10/7/15 - The Minnesota Wild came back from behind to beat the Colorado Avalanche in their first game of the season. Colorado scored three goals in the first period, and the Wild did not get on the board until 7 minutes into the second period. Colorado scored again in the second period to once again get ahead by three. The Wild came back on the ice in the third period ready to rally, scoring four goals to get the lead and win the game. Zach Parise had a hat trick and Nino Niederreiter and Thomas Vanek both had goals as well. The Wild's next match will be on October 10 at home against the St. Louis Blues. Tickets remain available with prices starting at $5.
9/16/15 - You may think that there's no way a young child could have any influence over a NHL's team roster, but 10-year-old Jordyn Leopold certainly had some sway with the Minnesota Wild during the offseason. She wrote a really cute letter begging the Wild to sign her father, Jordan Leopold, who was playing with the Blue Jackets at the time. After many trades and a lot of moving, the player's family was separated in order to help Jordyn and the rest of her siblings get settled somewhere. They missed their dad, however, and the Wild needed a veteran player, so they made the deal. Come join the Leopold children cheer on their dad this Monday, Sept. 21, as they take on the Sabres at Xcel Energy Center. Tickets start at just $9.
2014-2015 Season
5/5/15 - After upsetting St. Louis in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Minnesota Wild have their sights on a similar finish to their current series versus the Blackhawks. It will require effective play in Games 3 and 4 though, as the Wild find themselves down 0-2 after the first two games in Chicago. Minnesota came close to a stunning rally in the opening contest, putting in three goals in the second, but Teuvo Teravainen scored the deciding goal just prior to the end of the period for the 'Hawks, who held on for a 4-3 win. After falling 4-1 in Game 2, the Wild now must win at least one game at home in order to stay alive. Tickets are on sale for Xcel Energy Center, with seats for Tuesday night's game starting at $108!
4/28/15 - In a first round full of Western Conference upsets, the Minnesota Wild were just sticking with the trend. Winning two games on their own home ice and two in St. Louis, the Wild knocked off the No. 1-seeded Blues in six games and advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Minnesota took the final two games to seal the deal, running away 4-1 in the decisive contest behind two goals from Zach Parise. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk stopped 30 out of 31 shots on goal to buoy the Wild's defense, shutting down St. Louis to a point they could not overcome. Minnesota now moves on to face the Chicago Blackhawks and tickets are on sale now! Get your seats at Xcel Energy Center starting at $186.
4/20/15 - Living up to their name in more ways than one this postseason, the Minnesota Wild have been putting on quite a show. After securing the top wild card spot in the Western Conference, Minnesota earned the right to take on the first-place St. Louis Blues in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That pressure hasn't seemed to bother them, as they stole Game One to claim home ice advantage and shut out the Blues with a 3-0 victory Monday, now leading the series 2-1 with Game Four taking place in their home arena. The Wild will hope for another lights-out performance from goalie Devan Dubnyk, who blocked all 17 of St. Louis' shots to lift his team to a big win in Game Three. Limited seats are still available for Wednesday's game at Xcel Energy Center!
4/13/15 - One of the hottest teams in the second half of the regular season, the Minnesota Wild find themselves in the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again. Their 36-14-4 starting goaltender Devan Dubnyk gets the nod for Game One of the first round, when they travel to St. Louis to take on the Blues. Minnesota split the regular season series with St. Louis 2-2, with their November 29 loss coming via shootout, 3-2. With the benefit of a clean slate in postseason play, the Wild are hoping to pull off the upset behind the scoring of left wing Zach Parise. The playoffs head to Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul on April 20th, and limited seats are still available starting at $170! Secure your tickets now to experience the excitement of the NHL postseason!
4/9/15 - It's looking increasingly likely that the Minnesota Wild, possibly crossed off as out of the running earlier this season, will earn one of the two Western Conference wild card slots in the upcoming postseason. If this is the case, the Wild will start the chase for the Stanley Cup on the road, against either St. Louis or Nashville.
4/2/15 - If the current standings hold for the remainder of the season, the Minnesota Wild will square off with division mates Nashville, as the first wild-card team in the Western Conference. The Wild are one of five Midwest teams set to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs; they're currently in fourth place in the division and fifth place in the conference.
3/26/15 - How high can the charge of the Minnesota Wild go? Lost at the bottom of the Central Division standings at the beginning of the year, the Wild have made up considerable ground on the division leaders, and now are just three points behind Chicago for home ice advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs, which start next month.
3/17/15 - Playing as well as just about any team in the league over the past 10 games, the Minnesota Wild are living up to their name, holding a three-point advantage over Winnipeg for the top wild card spot in the West. Minnesota has won seven of their last nine games, including a five-game winning streak behind the stellar defense of goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who has not allowed more than two goals from an opposing team since February 14th. The Wild face a tough three-game stretch upcoming, beginning with the Predators in Nashville on Tuesday night before they return home to host the Washington Capitals and St. Louis Blues later in the week. Tickets for Wild vs. Predators at Bridgestone Arena are available starting at just $23 each!
3/5/15 - The Minnesota Wild continue their charge up the standings in the Western Conference. Currently seventh in the conference after a very slow start and tied on points with Vancouver, the Wild need just one point to catch division rival Winnipeg, fifth in the conference; and are six points behind Chicago, thitd in the division and fourth in the conference.
2/26/15 - After taking three straight – two on the road in Canada – the Minnesota Wild returned home to split their next two. After thrashing division mates Dallas 6-2 last weekend, the Wild dropped a 2-1 affair to an Edmonton team trying to make a bit of a move in their division; however, the Wild are still within striking distance of fourth-place Winnipeg.
2/20/15 - Having lost just twice in the month of February, the Minnesota Wild continue their climb back into postseason contention in the Central Division. The Wild, despitw suffering one of their two losses in the month earlier in the week, have moved to within five points of Winnipeg in the division.
2/12/15 - Earlier this week, the Minnesota Wild had their six-game winning streak snapped by division rival Winnipeg. The Wild remain in fifth place in the Central Division, seven points behind the fourth place Jets, and a point ahead of Dallas.
2/5/15 - They've won four straight and made a tight bunch even tighter by doing so. The Minnesota Wild may be near the bottom of the Central Division, but their win streak has put them within striking distance of fourth place Winnipeg.
1/29/15 - The Minnesota Wild started off the second half of the season on the right foot, as they collected just their fourth win in the month of January. The win, a 2-1 victory at Edmonton earlier this week, snapped a two-game losing streak for the Wild.
1/15/15 - A season that started out with so much promise for the Minnesota Wild is slowly dissolving into a nightmare. First the team was struck, mysteriously, by a mumps outbreak earlier; and now, in the midst of a six game losing streak, the team finds itself looking up from the bottom of the Central Division.
1/8/15 - It's not been the best of starts to the year 2015 for the Minnesota Wild. After opening the year with a win over Toronto, the Wild have dropped their last two, and find themselves in sixth place, sandwiched in between Dallas and Colorado in the Central Division.
12/18/14 - As one of the hardest hit teams in the NHL by the puzzling outbreak of mumps, the Minnesota Wild have had to fight their way through, with limited success. The Wild have won just four times in their last 10 games, and have dropped the last two in a row.
12/11/14 - There might be an explanation for why the Minnesota Wild are struggling along in fifth place in the Central Division. Turns out the team has been the hardest hit by an outbreak of an illness that most children are immunized against: the mumps; five Wild players have been diagnosed so far.
12/4/14 - Wins are always good to start off a new month, and the Minnesota Wild kicked off their December the right way. After finishing the month of November with six wins (and four in a row) against three losses, the Wild took out Montreal at home in St. Paul 2-1 to start December on the right foot.
11/20/14 - The Minnesota Wild are rolling. They're on a three-game unbeaten streak this week – the longest in the Central Division -- a point behind fourth place Chicago and six points behins front-runner Nashville.
11/13/14 - A four game losing streak by the Minnesota Wild has seen them fall back in the pack that is the NHL's Central Division. With 14 points, the Wild are currently tied with Dallas and just a point out of last place, ahead of Colorado.
11/6/14 - With the NHL's Central Division as tightly packed as it is, the Minnesota Wild find themselves without a key player for a couple of games. Zach Parise, who leads the team in points (goals plus assists), will be out for a short period as he recovers from symptoms of concussion.
10/29/14 - Just a month into the season and Minnesota Wild has already given fans a lot to talk about. Having fine-tuned their already impressive offense this offseason with the addition of Thomas Vanek, Wild has a real chance at entering the playoffs bumping elbows with the league leaders. Following their win against the San Hose Sharks, there's no doubt that Wild has every intention of continuing their winning streak. This Saturday game presents the perfect opportunity to do just that as they will face the Dallas Stars on their own turf. With the Stars taking up the tail end of the Central Division, Wild fans can expect an exciting victory this weekend. Tickets for the Dallas vs. Minnesota game start at $8 with a few seating options still available.
Welcome to the WILDerness! The Minnesota Wild capped off last year's campaign with the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, good for the top Wild Card slot. They faced the Colorado Avalanche as Round 1 underdogs and took the series to a thrilling Game 7. Minnesota's winning goal came off the stick of Nino Niederreiter, and the Wild turned to the formidable Chicago Blackhawks in Round 2. The defending champs ended Minnesota's Cup chase ended in six games, making the Wild hungrier than ever for a return run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The St. Paul squad made slight changes in the offseason; see if they pay off with Minnesota Wild tickets today!
Minnesota bid farewell to Cody McCormish and Clayton Stoner, but made a big offseason acquisition as well; upon the addition of Thomas Vanek to an already full-throttle offense will make the Wild a threat for any playoff-bound team. The Minnesota Wild open their 2014-2015 regular season schedule with a series that's guaranteed to snap them out of any summer slumber: a home-and-home series against Colorado. The Avalanche will visit Xcel Energy Center on opening day, Oct. 9. The Wilderness will descend upon Denver on Oct. 11 in their first road game. Minnesota will visit Boston to take the Bruins on, looking to stifle their opponents and improve on their 11-2 record. Chicago will visit on Dec. 16, and these Minnesota Wild tickets are a must-have as the Blackhawks have ended the club's seasons in the last two years. Vanek, Moulson and McCormick will return to Buffalo flanked by their new teammates on Jan. 15.
2013-2014 Season
5/12/14 – It's a must-win Game 6 tomorrow night in Minnesota! The Wild will try and avoid elimination with a victory over the Blackhawks who lead the second-round series 3-2. Now is the time to buy as last-minute Minnesota Wild playoff tickets for Tuesday's matchup are down 33 percent in price since the start of the series and you can get in the gate at Xcel Energy Center for $96! In Games 3 and 4 at home, the Wild outscored the Blackhawks 8-2 and have won 5 postseason games (of 5) at home. In the win-loss column this second-round series against Chicago is shaping up exactly as the it had in round one against Colorado. Is a Game 6 home win and Game 7 road win in the Wild's future?
5/6/14 – While the Wild are down 2-0 to the Hawks, the second-round series is headed home to Minnesota for Games 3 (avg. $286) and Game 4 (avg. $394). While Zach Parise leads the team with 11 postseason points, he'll need some help from the other Wild players if they want to get back in this series. What better way to do it than on home ice; prices are for the Wild's first home game of the series are down 8 percent while Game 4 prices have seen a 13 percent jump in the last five days. Minnesota is undefeated in three games at home in these playoffs, outscoring the Avs 8-3 at Xcel Energy Center in the opening round. Behind a loud home crowd, a tied series heading back to Chicago is highly attainable.
4/30/14 – It's just got wild Wilderness! Following Minnesota's 5-2 Game 6 win on Monday, the Wild will try to close out the series tonight in Denver. While the Wild have outscored the Avalanche, they'll have to win on the road in order to advance to the second round, something they have yet to do this series. Zach Parise leads both teams with 10 points, which includes three goals. And, since Darcy Kuemper took over in game two, the netminder has outplayed Colorado's Semyon Varlamov posting at 1.53 GAA. Will we see a fourth overtime game between the two squads? It will all be unveiled tonight!
4/21/14 – The Wild hope to get themselves back into the Western Conference quarterfinals on home ice Monday at Xcel Energy Center. Down 2-0 to the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in a best-of-seven series. Hoping to kick start something that isn't working, Minnesota is swapping goalies for Game 3 replacing Ilya Bryzgalov for Darcy Kuemper. Find out if the switch was the right choice with Minnesota Wild tickets. Prices are cheaper for Game 3 (avg. $125) than Game 4 (avg. $146), down 9 percent and 5 percent respectively since the start of the postseason.
4/17/14 – Minnesota finished the regular-season off strong, clinching the No.1 Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The
Colorado Avalanche
welcome the Minnesota Wild, who are looking to secure their first postseason series since 2003, tonight at Pepsi Center in Denver to open the Stanley Cup Playoffs Division Semifinals. Games 3, 4 and 6 (if nec.) will take place in Minnesota and the Wild will play their first home playoff game Monday night at Xcel Energy Center (avg. $138). While Minnesota was 1-3-1 against the Avs during the regular season, most of the games were decided by one goal. Goaltending will be a must; starting in goal Thursday will be Ilya Bryzgalov.
4/9/14 – After winning three in a row, the Wild are comfortably sitting in the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Minnesota is seven points ahead of Dallas who is holding on to the final playoff spot. Following Tuesday's shootout win over Boston, the Minnesota Wild clinched a playoff spot and secured the seventh seed which means they'll face the division winner with the fewest points in the opening round of the postseason. If the NHL playoffs started today, that would be the Anaheim Ducks whom the Wild recorded a 4-2 victory over in their last meeting (Jan 28). Two regular season games remain on the Minnesota Wild schedule – 4/10 vs. St. Louis (get-in $36) and 4/13 vs. Nashville (get-in $48); both games will be played at Xcel Energy Center.
4/3/14 – Minnesota will try to stay in front of Dallas and Phoenix in the Western Conference behind netminder (and former Coyote) Ilya Bryzgalov. Goaltenders Niklas Backstrom, Josh Harding, and Darcy Kuemper are all out with injuries. The Wild have distanced themselves from the pack, now four points ahead of the Stars who hold the second wild card spot. Thursday, the Minnesota Wild will look to secure their 40th win of the season against the Chicago Blackhawks, a team they've beaten three of four times this year. Should the Wild get the W, it'd be the first time the franchise has hit the 40-win mark since 2008-09.
3/28/14 – With 85 points, Minnesota (37-26-11) currently holds the first wild card spot in the Western Conference. With the Phoenix Coyotes recent 7-2-1 record, the Wild's ride to the NHL playoffs just got slippery. Separated by just one point, Saturday's showdown (avg. $60) in the desert between the two teams will be one for the books. The teams split their two previous meetings this season, each winning on the road. Can the Wild win for the fifth time in their last six in Phoenix? A top wild card spot would likely avoid an encounter with the current No.1 Western Conference Blues, whom the Wild lost to Thursday 1-5, in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.
3/19/14 – Former Isle Matt Moulson returned to Nassau Coliseum for the first time since being traded last Fall and scored two goals in the Wild's 6-0 rout of New York Tuesday night. The Wild hope to have a similar result Thursday, when Zach Parise visits New Jersey for the first time since leaving as a free agent. Following the Devils vs. Wild game, Minnesota will play a weekend home-and-home series against Detroit (avg. $226). If the
NHL playoffs
started today, the Wild (82 points) would receive the first wild card spot and face Pacific Division leaders Anaheim Ducks. Minnesota Wild playoff tickets are available for the Western Conference First Round at Xcel Energy Center – averaging $185 (HG1), $176 (HG2), and $194 (HG3).
3/11/14 – Of the nine remaining regular-season games at Xcel Energy Center, the cheapest games will be played this week. First, the Wild will host the Edmonton Oilers (avg. $96) where Minnesota will look to get the season sweep. Thursday, the New York Rangers (avg. $91) will be in town and the Minnesota Wild will look to reverse December's 1-4 loss. With 18 games remaining, the Wild are four points ahead of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. In a massive deal with the Buffalo Sabres right as the NHL trade deadline was closing, the Wild acquired star forward Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick in exchange for Torrey Mitchell and a second-round draft pick. The move proved that the organization was ready to make a run deep into the playoffs.
3/4/14 – The rumor mill was churning this morning with talks of the Wild acquiring Jaroslav Halak or Martin Brodeur as they made it clear they were in the market for a goaltender; instead, Minnesota went with veteran goalie Ilya Bryzgalov from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a 2014 fourth-round pick. The new lineup will next take home ice Sunday against the St. Louis Blues in which Minnesota Wild tickets are averaging $127. The March 9 meeting will be the first of four in a row at Xcel Energy Center.
2/25/14 - The Minnesota Wild will return a number of talented Olympians—including Mikael Granlund & Mikko Koivu (Finland), Zach Parise & Ryan Suter (USA) and Nino Niederreiter (Switzerland)—who are all expected to play in the first post-Olympic game Thursday night against the Edmonton Oilers. The Wild are currently ahead by five points in the Western Division race for the wild card. Though this healthy lead should hold off competition for a while, Minnesota is looking at a tough March schedule that includes 14 games in 24 days. There will be no room for slip-ups, so get Minnesota Wild tickets if you want to see some intense action! The Calgary Flames will be the Wild's first opponents at home; tickets start at $37 in the Upper Level and $67 in the Lower Level.
2/21/14 – The Wild returned from their Olympic break Wednesday at the Braemar Arena in Edina without their goaltender Josh Harding who has been out with multiple sclerosis medication issues since January 2. The Wild's goalie led the league with a 1.65 goals-against average and was third with a .933 save percentage before being placed on injured reserve. The Wild did call up defenseman Jonathon Blum and forward Jake Dowell from their AHL team in Des Moines and will return to Xcel Energy Center Mar 3 to play the Calgary Flames. The young club is currently in sixth in the East and will look to secure at least a Wild Card berth in the NHL playoffs this year.
2/4/14 – Tonight's matchup against the Lightning in Minnesota is the second and final meeting this season for the two teams. Ninety minutes before the puck drops, last minute Minnesota Wild tickets are available from $36. Fans who cannot make the game Tuesday at Xcel Energy Center, grab Wild tickets for Thursday's matchup against the Predators for a similar price, upwards of $38. Three weeks ago the Wild shutout Nashville 4-0 with goals from Dany Heatley and Jason Zucker in the first period and from Matt Cooke and Marco Scandella in the third.
1/30/14 – The Wild picked up a road win in Anaheim Tuesday night against the best team in the NHL. It was just the second loss in regulation for the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center. Minnesota will take their physicality to Colorado Thursday where they'll try to stop the Av's Gabriel Landeskog who has been a point-per-game player in the last 17. Minnesota Wild tickets at Xcel Energy Center are hovering around the league average at $122 for remaining home games, 40% less than they were at the beginning of the year.
The Wild exited the
2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs
in the first round after losing to the eventual Cup champs, Chicago Blackhawks. The beginning of the 2013-14 year had a different story, Minnesota handed Chicago its first regulation home defeat this season. But, in their second meeting two nights later, it was the Blackhawks who were victorious over the Wild. Inter-conference games between the Pittsburgh Penguins (4/5), Buffalo Sabres (1/2), and Washington Capitals (1/4) are the most expensive games on the Minnesota Wild schedule. One to mark on your calendars:
Zach Parise return
to Prudential Center on 3/20. New Jersey Devils vs. Minnesota Wild tickets for the game start at $23. Overall, the price of
Wild tickets at Xcel Energy Center are up 75%
after making their first post-season appearance since 2008.
2012-2013 Season
3/22/13 - At the halfway point of the NHL season, the Minnesota Wild lead the Northwest Division. With significant contributions from free-agent acquisitions — Zach Parise and Ryan Sutter — the team is on its way to the NHL Playoffs. Youngsters Charlie Coyle and Jason Zucker give us the impression that the future is bright in Minnesota. A couple more years with this team playing together and the MN Wild will be in position to win their first Stanley Cup.
Following the many additions to the Wild roster in the 2012 off-season, Minnesota Wild tickets increased 46% on the secondary market. Now averaging $111, MN Wild tickets are still under the League average. The most expensive game on the Minnesota Wild schedule is against the
Chicago Blackhawks
(4/9) who started the season with the team's longest win streak in history and a 20-0-3 record.
Vancouver Canucks
are usually the team we see at the top of the Northwest Division. Matches against the Canucks at
Xcel Energy Center
averaged $100 (2/7) and $120 (3/10). The Wild's latest 4-2 win over division rival Canucks, put Minnesota third overall in the West. Unfortunately, this rivalry, which seems to be evolving, may change with the (potential) realignment. If you're a sports fan living in Minnesota consider this — the average Wild tickets are $111,
tickets $41 (cheapest in
), and
tickets $28 (2nd cheapest in

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former attorney serving time in state prison in the shooting death of a fellow hunter has pleaded guilty to a federal firearms charge.
Fifty-one-year-old David Manilla of Worcester entered the plea Monday in federal court in Philadelphia to a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Defense attorney Robert Goldman said he faces a maximum 10-year term when he is sentenced June 27.
Manilla is serving a 10- to 25-year involuntary manslaughter sentence in the November 2010 death of 52-year-old Barry Groh of Quakertown in Richland Township. He pleaded no contest, saying he had mistaken the victim for a deer.
Authorities said he engaged in a prolonged cover-up, removing dozens of guns from his hunting property and packing the rifle with dirt to thwart ballistics testing.

- May 6:
- Thompson: Warriors tempt fate by firing Jackson
- Kawakami: Now pressure squarely on Joe Lacob, Bob Myers
- Kawakami: Mark Jackson discusses firing, his future and the Warriors'
- Thompson: Jackson, Lacob personality clash was too much for Warriors
- Kawakami: Possible candidates to replace Mark Jackson
- Warriors fire coach Mark Jackson
OAKLAND -- The Warriors fired coach Mark Jackson on Tuesday, after a season in which he led them to 51 wins and a second straight NBA playoff appearance.
Less than 72 hours after the Warriors were eliminated by the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 of the first round, Jackson was let go. General manager Bob Myers said it was a difficult but unanimous decision by team executives, adding that they had discussed the matter extensively.
Jackson had one year left on his contract. His assistant coaches also were fired.
"Mark did win, but moving forward we want to continue to win in bigger ways if we can," Myers said. "That's what people expect. That's what we expect."
Jackson, 49, compiled a 121-109 record in three seasons. He was informed of his firing at a 90-minute meeting Tuesday morning that he said was "respectful."
"We accomplished a lot in three years, and we should be proud," Jackson said. "I wish them nothing but the best.
"But to me, now the pressure's on for them to get a championship. It's not the time for them to be patient anymore. This is a championship-caliber team."
Jackson, who often spoke of a culture that he had to help change so the Warriors could reach heights not seen in years, said the season was "taxing and draining."
The Warriors' 51 wins this season tied for the third-most in franchise history. It was the first time since 1992 that they had made the playoffs for a second straight year.
Now the search for a new coach begins, and Steve Kerr, the TNT broadcaster and five-time NBA champion, could receive an interview.
"I've known him for 20 years," co-owner Joe Lacob said, adding he would consider hiring a second straight coach with no coaching experience. "I think very highly of him as an individual -- a great human being as well as a great basketball mind and a great pedigree."
Myers said a coach who embodies the values and core beliefs of the organization, and who has had success working with ownership and management, would be desirable.
Lacob said the next coach likely will face high expectations from both Warriors management and the fans.
"Someone who comes in scared of that probably isn't the right person for the job," Lacob said.
Differences had emerged over the season between Jackson, who can be brash, and an organization that had higher expectations than a No. 6 seed in the playoffs. Lacob had expressed concerns about home losses in February. Two of Jackson's assistant coaches abruptly departed before the playoff run, with Darren Erman being fired after secretly recording team-oriented conversations, according to reports.
"I think Mark in his next job probably needs to do a better job managing up and sideways," Lacob said, adding that the 51-win season, while not unsatisfactory, did not meet the organization's goals.
Said Myers: "When you factor in everything, although he accomplished quite a bit, we wanted to move in a direction where maybe we were possibly more aligned as an organization entirely."
Lacob said the meeting with Jackson was instructive for the ex-coach and the organization.
"We both could do better maybe in another situation, another time," Lacob said.
"We just didn't excel at the level that we had hoped to," Lacob said, adding Jackson would agree they all expected to do a little bit better.
Myers, who grew up a Warriors fan, acknowledged that fans might jump to conclusions over the controversial firing because of the franchise's past woes.
"Trust us," he said. "We are moving in the right direction."
Myers said that every Warriors player he got in touch with in the wake of Jackson's firing expressed trust in the organization. Many had publicly supported Jackson, most notably guard Stephen Curry. Myers said he did not consult Curry before the decision on Jackson was made.
"Over the past three years, Coach Jackson has challenged me as a player and person," Curry said in a statement. "His experience and guidance has helped each of us grow in this league. Can't thank him enough for all he did for me. I wish him all the best as he transitions to the next chapter."
Said Myers: "We believe after speaking to him, we know he's going to play hard whoever the next coach is. He recognizes the organization has been a part of his success, as has Mark Jackson. But ultimately, he does trust us."

Would it be possible to add a new symbol in the "Insert Symbol" section of the "Text" Tool. I draw plot maps for every job and have to insert text that shows the degrees of arc for a given curved property line. The official property maps from the county show a small triangle with the degrees of arc listed. I must include that information as well as the length in feet and radius of the line in feet. The symbol used for arc is a small right triangle scaled to the text. I currently have to draw it separately and insert it next to the text just prior to the '= x (degree symbol) xx'yy" '.
I researched this forum, but found no other subjects that matched, so, sorry if this is a repeat from someone else.

Twelve days ago the FHSU soccer team stood toe to toe with undefeated Lindenwood for two halves and two overtimes at the MIAA soccer championships before falling 6-5 in a shootout. On Friday, the Tigers will get a shot at a rematch in the opening round of the NCAA Division II soccer tournament.
"They're a great team, there's a reason they are undefeated, there's a reason they haven't lost a conference game in two seasons in the MIAA," said head coach Brett Parker. "But we are confident; we've played some very close games with them."
The Tigers lost to Lindenwood in the regular season 4-3 on the road. Friday's match up in Kansas City, will mark the third meeting of the season.
"We will get them on a neutral site, we'll be fresh we had two weeks off to get healthy and kind of get over the end of season stretch of games we had," said coach. "It's a great opportunity for the program."
This will be second straight tournament to the NCAA for a Tiger program that is just three seasons old and FHSU enters the Super Regional as the No. 20 ranked team in Division II.
"Third year, two times in the NCAA tournament," said Tanner Brock. "It's just exciting to be around it. We've worked hard, preseason morning workouts. So this will be good."
Adds Parker, "Second year in a row to be in the NCAA tournament, two out of the three years of our program, it's fantastic."

Living through a flood just comes with the territory when you're one of the thousands of Washington County residents who lives near the area's rivers and creeks. But there are some floods, such at the Great Flood of 1913, that leave a psychological impact on even the most seasoned flood veterans.
"A flood or disaster like that can be a significant stressor," said Ryan May, McCoy Associate Professor of Psychology at Marietta College.
The heavy rain, the rising waters-a flood makes people feel like they have very little control over their circumstances, said May.

Times file photo
Marietta resident Dick Wendelken walks through his basement after the September 2004 flood. The water nearly crept onto the first floor and ruined several personal effects that the family did not have time to retrieve from the quickly flooding basement.
"That sense of not being in control can lead to a greater source of distress," he said.
Distressed is just the way Macksburg resident Helen Stack, 78, felt as flood waters from Duck Creek invaded her Elba home in 1998.
"In '98 I lived alone. I'm afraid of water. I never learned to swim," said Stack.
Article Map
That night the storm was so severe that Stack contacted her daughter and together they went to see if the creek was out of its banks.
It was.
"My daughter went around and woke a lot of people up. It drowned a couple or three people up in Caldwell. That's a nightmare to go through," she recalled.
Fact Box
Mental impact
Floods, like any natural disaster, can be a significant source of stress that can exacerbate mental problems already in place.
Flooding causes a sense of loss of control, something that can make many people anxious.
Depression or loss of interest in one's passions can result from the experience.
Those who have experienced devastating flooding could feel a sense of anxiety when it rains or when water levels begin to rise.
It has been proven that people with a significant support system are more equipped to cope with the mental strain caused by a natural disaster.
Source: Ryan May, Marietta College McCoy professor of Psychology, Flood victim interviews.
Stack and her nearby relatives were all safe, but the water had reached the ceiling on the first floor of her home, forever ruining countless possessions.
"It was up over my sink and in my microwave. Like a coffee table you can wash it off, but a lot of stuff you can't. It breaks a lot of stuff. It moves it away. It's a dirty mess," she said.
And it would not be the last time Stack had to watch as the creek invaded her home.
"I replaced things and got my house all remodeled and in 2004 it did it again," she recalled.
In fact, it did it again twice.
As the flood waters waned for the third time, so did Stack's enjoyment of the things she used to love.
"You kind of lose interest in things. I liked to sew awful well, but I've had no interest in it since. You lose a bit of your passion," she said.
Three times were enough. Stack packed up and moved to Macksburg, away from the threat of water.
"When it rains now, I sleep just fine," she said.
Another factor that increases fear and anxiety during a flood is that communication is often cut off, said May.
"There is that fear of the unknown and not knowing the well-being of others," he said.
In 1913, many people had relatives in the bigger cities, where great loss of life had been reported, and people were hungry for whatever news possible from those places.
There was such a desire for information that many personal letters and telegraphs ended up in local papers, even if they reported only the welfare of a single person.
"A.D. Alderman received a telegram this morning from his son C.D. Alderman, who is in Dayton. The telegram was brief and concerned Mr. Alderman's welfare only," wrote the Register-Leader on March 31, 1913.
Now we have much greater access to communication, noted May.
But it still is not infallible, as 78-year-old Dick Wendelken found out in 2004.
"The water got our phone system," he recalled.
At the time, Wendelken and his wife had not yet decided to purchase cell phones.
Luckily, a man that lived nearby brought the Wendelkens an extra cell phone so they could contact their loved ones.
After another flood pulled the same trick in January 2005, Wendelken had learned his lesson.
"We made some revisions. We moved the transformers for the telephone upstairs," he said.
The Wendelkens lost a lot in 2004.
"It came up so fast we were only able to get the computer and some of the important stuff," he recalled.
But what frustrated the couple was not so much the destruction of the basement and some possessions, but the fact that the modern flood warning system had left them in the lurch.
"We were upset more over the failure over the weather department predicting the proper level of the river. That was what got us," said Wendelken.
The National Weather Service had canceled a flood warning on Sept. 17, 2004 and reinstated it much later that evening, after it was too late for many area residents to save their belongings.
But Wendelken, who purposely built his house four feet off the ground to avoid flood water in the first floor, has learned to take the effects of a flood in stride.
"Once it comes in the basement, we live with it," said Wendelken, who stayed in the house with his wife and two dogs in 2004, even though the water was one step away from reaching the first floor.
"We had a boat if we needed to get out," he said.
Many people who have grown up around flooding have learned to take the events in stride, said May. But still, there is a lot than can be done to alleviate the stress, he said.
"One thing that's been shown is that people who have a strong support system tend to do better," he said.
In 1913, support poured in from around the world to the towns torn apart by the flood. In Marietta, the high school served as a large shelter. The National Guard was stationed in town to facilitate recovery, and local newspapers from the days after the flood show several accounts of donations being made for flood victims or recovery efforts.
"(Several men) arrived in the city at midnight with two wagon loads of provisions and clothing sent from Cambridge and Byesville," the Register-Leader declared on April 1.
Though the flood of 1998 and 2004 left Stack with many negative memories, what she will likely remember most is the outpouring of help afterward, she said.
"Women from up north sent quilts down that they made. Lots of people helped with food and putting people up," she said.
A group of young girls, possibly from a local church, came around just to talk to the residents and see how they were doing, recalled Stack.
"There was a lot of help that came in every direction. It meant a lot," she said.

SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team was unable to find its offensive groove on Sunday afternoon, falling 7-1 in the series finale against Texas State. The teams end the season series tied 2-2 after the Bobcats picked up the final two games of the weekend.
The Islanders (10-9) were only able to muster four hits in the game after reaching double-digit hits in the previous two games of the series. The Bobcats had 10 hits in the game as Texas A&M – Corpus Christi starter Adam Hoelscher (1-2) gave up a couple of early runs that would ultimately be the difference.
The Bobcats picked up single runs in the bottom of the first and fourth innings, but they did the majority of the damage with four runs on three hits in the bottom of the fifth inning to make it a 6-0 lead.
The Islanders finally got on the board in the top of the 7th, getting a leadoff double by Dominic Lopez to left center, while Brad Lamberti drove him home with an RBI double down the right field line to make it 6-1.
The Bobcats answered with a run of their own in the bottom half of the seventh, extending the lead back to six heading into the final two innings.
Neither team would score again as Texas State earned the series win. The season series ended at 2-2, with the Islanders claiming the first two in a midweek contest and the first game of the series, while Texas State picked up the final two of the year.
Lamberti and Lopez each had doubles, while Eric Weiss and Cody Stephens picked up one single apiece. Lamberti had the only RBI of the game for the Islanders.
Next up for the Islanders will be a single game against Harvard on Monday, March 18 at Chapman Field. Live stats and video will be available by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

Arthritis Health Center
Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis)
In this article
Treatment for Avascular Necrosis
The goals of treatment for AVN are to improve or ensure function of the affected joint, stop the progression of bone damage, and reduce pain.
The best treatment will depend on a number of factors, including:
- Your age
- Stage of the disease
- Location and amount of bone damage
- Cause of AVN
If the cause of your avascular necrosis is identified, treatment will include efforts to manage the underlying condition. For example, if AVN is caused by blood clots, your doctor will prescribe medications to dissolve clots. If inflammation of the arteries is responsible, your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medicines.
If avascular necrosis is caught early, treatment may involve taking medications to relieve pain or limiting the use of the affected area. If your hip, knee, or ankle is affected, crutches may be necessary to take weight off the damaged joint. Your doctor may also recommend range-of-motion exercises to help keep the affected joint mobile.
While these nonsurgical treatments may slow the progression of avascular necrosis, most people with the condition eventually need surgery.
Surgical options include:
- Bone grafts, which involve removing healthy bone from one part of the body and using it to replace the damaged bone
- Osteotomy, a procedure that involves cutting the bone and changing its alignment to relieve stress on the bone or joint
- Total joint replacement, which involves removing the damaged joint and replacing it with a synthetic joint
- Core decompression, a procedure that involves removing part of the inside of the bone to relieve pressure and allow new blood vessels to form
- Vascularized bone graft, a procedure that uses the patient's own tissue to rebuild diseased or damaged hip joints; the surgeon first removes the bone with the poor blood supply from the hip and then replaces it with the blood-vessel-rich bone from another site, such as the fibula, the smaller bone located in the lower leg.

EUGENE, Ore. -- The perfect storm?
Not for the Cal football team.
The Golden Bears, battling No. 2 Oregon and swirling rain at Autzen Stadium, fumbled the ball away on their first four possessions and the Ducks did their quick-strike thing on the way to a 55-16 victory on Saturday night.
It was 27-0 with 2:48 left in the first quarter when Cal coach Sonny Dykes pulled freshman quarterback Jared Goff -- the nation's total offense leader -- in favor of Zach Kline.
"Jared was having a really difficult time holding onto the football," Dykes explained. "Just felt like we weren't getting anything done. We needed to make a change."
But Dykes said he doesn't expect the change to carry over to next Saturday, when the Bears (1-3, 0-1 Pac-12) return home to face Washington State.
"I would think Jared would be our starting quarterback," he said.
Kline, a redshirt freshman from Danville, completed his first three attempts and finished 18 for 37 for 165 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to James Grisom with 3 minutes left. He was the beneficiary of lighter rain beginning in the second quarter, but the switch didn't change much.
The Bears, who averaged 33.7 points in their first three games, did not score until Vincenzo D'Amato kicked a 46-yard field goal on the final play of the first half. That made it 41-3.
Oregon scored two touchdowns directly off Cal turnovers and two more on punt returns of 75 and 67 yards by sophomore Bralon Addison. The Bears had 11 penalties for 97 yards and converted just 5 of 18 third-down opportunities.
"It was just about as bad a performance as you could have in a lot of ways. That falls on me," Dykes said.
Adding to the disastrous evening were injuries to starting cornerback Kam Jackson (lower leg) and running back Khalfani Muhammad (head), who both left the field in the first half and did not return. X-rays of Jackson's leg were clear, but Dykes had no information on the status of either.
Cal's third game against a Top-25 opponent proved its least competitive of the season. The Ducks (4-0, 1-0) played all but the game's opening kickoff without star running back De'Anthony Thomas (sprained ankle), and didn't need him, scoring their first four touchdowns on drives that lasted less than 2 minutes.
Sophomore Byron Marshall of Valley Christian High in San Jose rushed for a career-high 130 yards and scored two touchdowns, and Oregon -- 36-point favorites -- seemed to lose interest by the third quarter.
Goff said he'd played in rain a couple times at Marin Catholic High, but nothing like this. "It was raining really hard, and there was a pretty good wind," he said. "That's no excuse. It's really disappointing. We were really trying to come out fast."
Goff, who averaged 435 passing yards his first three games, was 3 for 6 for 11 yards before being pulled.
"It was probably the best decision," Goff said of the switch. "(Kline) did a good job."
But Goff said the experience doesn't change his outlook. "The mindset is I'm the starter," he said. "I just had a hiccup."
Kline, who lost a fall camp battle to Goff for the starting job, came on for the Bears' sixth possession of the night, and immediately completed a 17-yard pass to Bryce Treggs. Later on the drive he hooked up with Richard Rodgers for a 33-yard gain.
But on second-and-6 from the 15, he was intercepted in the end zone by Ifo Ekpre-Olomu when receiver Drake Whitehurst broke off his route in a different direction.
"I thought I played well, but I definitely could play better. My job is to put the ball in the end zone," Kline said of his college debut. "We have a lot to work on as a team. We're disappointed. We want to win. It's definitely frustrating."
Kline said he will return to practice next week intent on competing for the job. "Every week's a quarterback battle," he said. "I don't see this week as being anything different."
Dykes was generally pleased with Kline's effort. "I thought he came in and competed at a good level. That was what we wanted to see," Dykes said. "Obviously he made some mistakes, but he gave us a chance."
-- Freshman running back Jeffrey Coprich scored Cal's first touchdown, converting a 1-yard burst with 6:48 left in the third quarter. He had 14 carries for 51 yards after getting the ball just once in the first three games.
-- Cal fell to 4-51 all-time vs. Top-5 opponents with just one win in their past 28 attempts dating back to 1976. The Bears are 0-4 against Oregon teams rated in the Top-5.
-- Oregon has scored 50 points in four consecutive games for the first time in school history. The Ducks entered play averaging 61.3 points, second-best in the nation.
-- The Ducks were the nation's only team without a turnover entering this weekend. They lost two fumbles, but Dykes they had four other fumbles the Bears could not recover.
-- Although some fans stayed home because of the weather -- and many left early -- Oregon again sold all its tickets for the game, making it the Ducks' 92nd consecutive sellout. The official crowd count: 56,987.

In his work "Utopia" (1516), Sir Thomas More described an imaginary island where the inhabitants enjoyed total perfection under the law, politics and etc.
Some three centuries later, in 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels presented to the world the "Communist Manifesto," which was based on the utopian idea that all wealth created by any means should be shared in equal amounts by everyone no matter who earned it.
This concept in time gave rise to the unwise and failed experiment in governance called socialism.
Another hundred years on, in an amusing tale about another make-believe utopian society, George Orwell's "Animal Farm" (1945), the reader is reminded that although "all pigs are created equal, some pigs are more equal than others," which was a not-so-subtle jab at what life was really like in all the Communist-socialist countries at the time as the many toiled endlessly to support the luxurious lifestyle of the very few.
In contemporary usage, the word utopia is commonly applied to any visionary system of political or social perfection or reform.
However, history reveals that utopia has proven to be an elusive and unobtainable objective, as numerous failed experiments around the world have demonstrated.
The demise of the Soviet Union, and today what appears to be the gradual unraveling of the Eurozone are two notable examples.
Norman Thomas (1884-1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, and in a speech in 1944 he is quoted as saying: "American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
Thomas went on to say: "I no longer need to run as presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."

News 12 has obtained copies of the lawsuits filed in this case:
Click here to read the first lawsuit (PDF)
Monday, Jan. 14, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Just a week after two lawsuits were filed against the Richmond County Board of Education, some students are coming to the defense of Dr. Wayne Frazier. But others say they agree with the allegations, saying stories of verbal abuse from the former Glenn Hills High School principal are all true.
Jonathan Mack, a former student of Dr. Frazier's at Tubman Education Center, says, "He was encouraging me like, stay in school, don't let the streets take hold of you, because you're a good kid. Stay in school, I see it, you're a good kid."
And Mack isn't alone. Helena Jones also went to Glenn Hills High School when Dr. Frazier was there.
"He was the kind of principal that believed in second chances, and he believed in young boys and girls making something out of themself," she said.
But, while he may have looked out for students, some teachers are saying he made their lives a living hell.
Like Nancy T. Whitehead, whose husband used to work for Dr. Frazier.
"He just tore them down," Whitehead said. "I mean, they just didn't feel like they were anything."
She says the principal would embarrass and cuss at her husband and other teachers.
"He'd never been treated like that because he was a person that never got into trouble he never said a harsh word to anybody," she said.
Whitehead said the stress from working for Dr. Frazier changed her husband in very visible ways.
"Paul just got more depressed, seemed like he just lost his zeal," she said. "He just didn't want to do anything, he lost weight, probably 10 or 15 pounds."
Dr. Frazier eventually fired him. Shortly after, Whitehead's husband suffered a massive heart attack and died.
Whitehead said the stress from Dr. Frazier is partly to blame.
"I really think that contributed to his fatal heart attack," she said.
One of the teachers in the lawsuit even holds Dr. Frazier personally responsible for her post-traumatic stress disorder.
But despite the two lawsuits, students say Dr. Frazier may have been harsh, but he was fair.
"Would you want somebody to tell you what you want to hear or tell you what you need to hear?" Mack said.
News 12 spoke with the lawyer representing the two teachers in their lawsuits who says, at this point, they are just waiting for the school board to respond to the lawsuit.
This isn't the first time Dr. Frazier's been in trouble. Back in 2010, he was suspended for a DUI arrest. He's also been given letters of reprimand for negligence over missing funds at Glenn Hills High School and allowing a jail report parody in the school's yearbook.

Conversations Round-Up
Improving access to care seen as great opportunity to improve patient health
07.30.13 | By John Castellani
Every person is unique, and so are the challenges they face when it comes to their health. However, there are some core opportunities to improve care across wide swaths of the population, and that's why we asked last week's Conversations question: "What are the biggest challenges and opportunities when it comes to improving patient health?"
The Colon Cancer Alliance and the Obesity Society provided interesting contributions that addressed improving access to care. As a cancer survivor and an advocate, Crawford Clay, the patient advocacy coordinator at Colon Cancer Alliance, discussed the significant challenges faced at both the individual and macro levels. With colon cancer the second-leading cause of death among all cancers, he indicated an increasing need for better access to preventative care, while also noting that from his experience, beating the disease was as much of a mental challenge as a physical one.
As Adam Gilden Tsai, advocacy chair at the Obesity Society noted, treating obesity is also a complex challenge for the health care industry. Despite affecting more than one in three Americans, treatment is not always reimbursed by health insurers, which leads to gaps that only exacerbate the problem. Ensuring consistent and coordinated care through initiatives like Accountable Care Organizations could improve health results throughout the country - not just for obese individuals.
I also want to highlight a comment from Ho Luong Tran, the president and CEO of the National Council of Asian & Pacific Islander Physicians. She shared her thoughts on the Conversations question through Facebook, and emphasized the importance of culturally competent and linguistically appropriate care.
From these responses, it is obvious that improving access to care is top-of-mind when discussing how to better address patients' health needs. According to a report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Development, more than a quarter of Americans face barriers restricting access to necessary health care. For our part, PhRMA has made it a point to emphasize the importance of access to medications that improve people's lives, and support programs like Medicare Part D that remove barriers to care.
As our health care system continues to evolve, so will the challenges patients face. To tackle these issues will require sharing ideas and working together, and that's why we feel the Conversations forum is so important.

What is coccidiosis?
Coccidiosis is a Protozoan – a one celled animal. It is not visible to the naked eye, but is visible under a microscope. It is easy to identify in fecal flotations. Cocci usually produces infection in young kittens and puppies, but adult pets can be affected.
How is it transmitted?
Transmission occurs from animal to animal through feces that contain oocysts. Other animals can act as an intermediate or transport host. The entire life cycle lasts one week. Cocci can be found in the stools without causing any problems until a stress factor causes an outbreak.
What are the symptoms?
Diarrhea is the main sign. In severe cases the feces are mucus like and bloody. It can be complicated by a loss of appetite, weakness, dehydration and anemia.
What is the treatment?
Call us for products to help you fight the disease. If you want to do your own slides, see our section on equipment for the microscope and fecal flotation systems. We also carry a good book that will benefit you in your microscope discovery – Diagnostic Parasitology.
