Tide leaders' impromptu team meeting sends clear message to players

They'd seen enough: enough missed assignments, enough lack of communication and enough of not doing things the Alabama way.
So C.J. Mosley, AJ McCarron and Vinnie Sunseri stood before their teammates and demanded accountability, told them enough was enough. It was time to buy into the program or get off the field.
In the immediate aftermath of Saturday night's 31-6 win over Colorado State, an impromptu team meeting sprung up in the home team's locker room, with Mosley leading the way.
"We were pretty upset with the win we had, especially with the way we won," Mosley said. "We felt we didn't dominate. After Coach (Nick) Saban's little speech, me, AJ, Vinnie, we kind of said how we really feel. I started off because I was pretty upset, especially with the defense. The things we gave up were mental errors, just little things, just fundamental errors, so I felt like, 'we're about to play Ole Miss next week and about to start getting into SEC play. Those little things will get us beat bad, get us embarrassed, so we've got to make sure everyone's doing their job.'"
It speaks to the standards of the University of Alabama football program that after a pair of 25-point wins and a road win against a top-10 opponent, the team wasn't happy. Not with its performance. Not in the way the wins played out. Not in the way it didn't play to the standard of Crimson Tide football.
Veterans know that another lackluster performance won't cut it during Southeastern Conference play. UA faces conference opponents in six of its next seven games, beginning Saturday night against Ole Miss.
Mosley is a quiet guy, a leader by example, but not vocal. So when he stood up, his teammates took notice.
"Definitely, because he has that reputation of being quiet. So when he speaks, it's felt," linebacker Trey DePriest said. "He don't really say too much. He's a quiet guy. When he's got something to say, that means it needs to be said."
The offense took notice, too.
"There's a couple of guys on the team that you just sort of lock in on them when they're talking," tight end Brian Vogler said. "Guys like him and AJ. They've been around for awhile, they know how the system works, they've got a lot of success to their name, they've really made a really good brand for themselves as players. So when they say something, you sort of have to hone in on it and take what they say to heart."
Players say the message was needed.
"Yeah, I think so. I think some guys on the team just needed to hear it," Vogler said. "And it's worked really well for us this week."
It's pretty simple to Mosley, the quiet senior leader. Do it the Alabama way or move on.
"They better. If not, they won't be on the field," Mosley said. "Like I said, stuff like the DBs, they've responded well in practice the last few days."

How about we start worrying about our own country heading straight down the toilet? Keep an eye on them with the technology we have instead of sacrificing our troops for a change. If our spy satellites pick up silos, send the drones in. If the White House makes any other stupid decisions, it's time to impeach!

Should the United States provide more direct military support for South Korea?

I votes Yes, Defense only, but after reading the comments I wish I could change it to NO. We are spread too thin, spend too much money on being policemen and we get nothing in return. SKorea doesn't want out goods they shouldn't get the lives of our troops or the costs for that support.
An isolationist policy is beginning to seem reasonable, even to a former Naval Officer like me!
Die for another tie? Take care of our problems at home!
Trust me, S. Korea is capable of fighting their own battles. Not so when I was there 1966-67. Today is a different ball game. ROK troops can get it done. Or how about the UN? We need to butt out and take care of our problems for a change!
How much more can we take of being a big brother to these countries when we can not afford to take care of our own people young and old.
If you're going to let Your Trigger Finger do Your thinking, then:
Just a reminder: It takes 30+ years for an area to recover from Nuclear Radiation/Contamination, to subside.
So, use them WISELY!
Want or need a parking Lot?
How about a Barren & Inhabited Wasteland? Fine, as long as it's NOT here.
That's what is the Result of the Final Outcome.
In this situation, usually what goes around, comes around, with an average time of 6 minutes to react.
Dig Fast!!!
NO !!! NOT a Chance. NOT even as Peacekeepers.
Bring the Troops Home on CONUS soil. Redeploy to the Northern & Southern Borders, Armed & @ the Ready. They're needed much more here, than over there. Increase Troop levels in the South Pacific Islands, next.
We've been in South Korea on the DMZ for Too Long.
Nothing "Fair" is coming out of conducting business with any Country in the Far East. Especially with China.
We've been involved with the United Nations for Too Long, as well. Dissolve Our Membership/Association/Support. Tell them to kindly leave American Soil. Same with NATO & SEATO.
Throw ALL Members of the CFR & Tri-Lateral Committees in Jail. Loose the key, forever!
I'm tired of Paying for this "Crap" and Absolutely Sick of serving/dealing with a Tyrannical Government.
South Korea just refused to negotiate a fair trade agreement with the United States during the President's recent visit to South Korea. They like to sell us Hyundai's and Kia's, but don't want to purchase American goods. It would be a huge mistake to intervene militarily in any dispute between North and South Korea. It is too costly to maintain troops all over the world. We should pull our existing troops out of South Korea or insist South Korea pay the full cost of having them there,
For an "S" use the "$" like kiss my @$$. No, not meant for you or anyone, just an example.
Ron Kriel
No, we have to quit being the world's policemen. Not only should we bring all American Forces back home from all posts throughout the world, but we also have to quit sending the many millions of dollars to every Tom, Dick & Harry (Chan, Louis & Pedro?) in the world. They take the money and still resent our interference in their affairs.
We have stirred the pot in the world too much already. North Korea is a problem for the area, like China, etc. While we got ourselves into the mess in 1950, we have never learned, like following the French into Viet Nam.
With all of the money saved, we can put this country back on an even economic keel and work to improve education and other important programs for our own people.
Perhaps someone will list some benefit we get from our involvement all over the globe.
Isolationist, you bet! Perhaps this would stop the departure of manufacturing and jobs defecting to those countries we are supporting.
Ron Kriel CAPT USN (Ret.)
It's time to show Dad and the boy general just what nukes can and will do. which should have been done almost 50yrs ago. Might just bring the rest of the little pi@@ ant country's that are a pain in the bu@@ what can and will happen if they don't leave us alone.
We should have left long ago -- No economic or strategic benefits, just pouring money and manpower down a rathole.
We are overextended militarily and borrowing 40 cents of every dollar we spend.
The sole excuse for being there was to prevent the north from gaining atomic weapons. We failed and now there is a price to pay.
Should we send boy scouts or scout girls? Coast Guard? How about bringing back the draft? We CANNOT afford TO enter another war on any possible level. And if we do, American Revolution II and, indeed, World War III, cometh!

You Guys
You haven't got it in your hearts to send the Black Cats down, have ye. You mean to tell me the Champion's League's more important than Di Canio's show business career.
H---I'll never speak to you again.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Deep consideration and a couple of Jack Daniels and I've got the outcome sorted.
The Italian injection's caused much confusion, for me the guy's a joke. A 3-1 home win no brainer.
Pardew's blipped a bit this season but I'm pretty sure he'll come good with the French connection, and he'll have his guys wanting to get a bit of his reputation back. It's a draw, nowt-nowt or 1-1.
So it's a merry weekend for you guys, and also bearing in mind the last prediction I got wrong was around 1973.
Evening H and fellow Yids.
Was really hoping Sunderland would win against Southampton yeaterday and that Newcastle would lose to QPR ,but as you already know, it all went #$%$ up and now we've ended up with Wigan or Newcastle doing us a big favour in bashing up the GOONS.
We really are in sqeaky bum time and i'm hoping that lady luck can see it in her favour to shine down on us at last.(you know we're due some).
Hopefully the final outcome falls in your favour too and we all end up looking forward to next saeson of EPL for you and CL for us.
atb .....JEFFALL......COYS.......SPURS ..FOREVER....
wigan wont beat the goons so sunderland are safe. u just need boro to sort out their act & come back up. dont know what went wrong with them!

The Wigan guys are on a real high, Martinez has got them on Iron Brew till Tues night. I've got to say I don't think they'll lose the game at the Emirates which will be great for you guys, but it won't be enough to keep them up.
Mike Ashley has certainly rode the waves up here and come through it. He's a brave guy and I hope it works out for him next season. Pardew impresses me, he's settled in well and next season the French connection should prove dividends, (AVB's sniffing around Ben Arfa by the way).
Di Canio's tenure for me will be short lived, he's already proved how tactically naive he is with his last 2 team selections.
The Boro are in the shyte financially, much the same as many other unwise cash flinging clubs in the past few years. Steve Gibson's a gold nugget, take him out of the equation and it could get rapidly worse.
Shame it's come to the Wigan, Sunderland scenario. Got a soft spot for Wigan---I got the dog from there.
H---woof woof.

all I can say is come on WigSpur then Come on the Geordies to see there season out with a win if your gonna go down then bow out with some style but one point is your gonna be stuck with Pardew for a few years because if you get rid of him then its gonna cost ya big time good old Mike Ashley I love his business accument top draw stuff
Nbr, good luck for the run in---hope you guys do it even just with a point against the Black Cats. You mentioned Wigan there, what an inspiration and the highlight of the season for me. Better team and every one of them 110% committed. Martinez has certainly got the gift.

BEAUMONT (December 5, 2012)--Former U.S. Rep. Jack Brooks, a Democrat who spent 42 years representing his Southeast Texas district in the U.S. House, has died at the age of 89.
Brooks died Tuesday night at Baptist Hospital of Beaumont after a sudden illness, a Jefferson County Sheriff's Department statement said.
Deputy Rod Carroll says Brooks, who would have turned 90 on Dec. 18, was surrounded by family members when he died.
Brooks was among the last links to an era when Democrats dominated Texas and national politics.
He took office when legendary fellow Texan Sam Rayburn was House speaker and Lyndon Johnson was Senate majority leader.
Brooks was in the Dallas motorcade Nov. 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and was aboard Air Force One later that day when Johnson took the oath of office.

Currently running version 1.50.1 of PMS and PMSencoder 1.5.12
Anyone out there who knows which version of the above that will work best with OSX 10.6.8?

Nice program. Purchased almost immediately after trying. Simple versioning which is about all I need. I use dropbox as well but this works great for files I don't want on the cloud.
There is this thing called "Time Machine" that comes pre-installed with Leopard for free.... I think that the Time Machine is better but this is just my opinion...
ForeverSave really puts versioning into the hands of the common man. I loved the idea of EverSave when it first came out, but too risky to have it constantly saving over my files⦠In my life, I find it more likely that it would save at an inopportune time, and I'd lose my way⦠Anyhow, for a very (in my opinion) manageable price, ForeverSave solves this issue with a solid versioning system.
I'd actually like to see versioning developed a little more⦠As it stands, I don't think I can (for instance) mark a version in the browser to hold on to⦠If I want to take a project in a drastically different direction, it would be nice to sort of 'mark my place' in FS and never have that version get deleted.
Also, I'd like to see the QuickLook support improved⦠It works mostly like Finder, but misses one key element⦠Once I'm in the QL view, I can't flip through my revision list using the cursor keys⦠Makes using QL tedious.
Finally, would like to see it all in one unified window.

Wayman Newell is one of only two incumbents whose races are not yet decided for them.
As one of only two incumbents now vying to win re-election in November, Newell says he is continuing his campaign--by going door-to-door, putting out signs, and campaigning while fulfilling his duties as supervisor.
Newell is making known that he is running in November. He stated four years ago, when he sought the office of supervisor, that he would be a working supervisor. He said he believes his record shows he has worked for everyone.
"Trying to do something for all the people of Lauderdale County, not some of them, and working for everybody," said Newell, a Republican. "That's my campaign promise again, that I will continue to work for all of the people, not some of them, but all of them."
As for the upset loss of District 5 Ray Boswell to challenger Kyle Rutledge, Newell says that the people have voiced who they want.
"The District 5 people down there made their choice, and that's what democracy is about," Newell said.
Boswell's loss is the loss of an ally for Newell. He says allies are necessary to get things done. He also says everyone has allies.
"You know, it takes three votes to do anything," said Newell. "You got to have an ally. If you don't have anybody, you don't get anything done. It's just like other supervisors are allies with other people. So they try to pick up the third vote, if you will, to get something done. If you don't have three votes, you can't do anything."
Newell faces Democratic nominee, Greg Lane, on the November ballot.
Newscenter 11 attempted to contact Democratic nominee, District 4 supervisor Joe Norwood, to discuss his plans leading up to the general election, but we were unsuccessful. He's opposed by Republican Harry Routt.

In any election, the losers aren't necessarily on the ballot. San Jose Police Sgt. Jim Unland, the savvy president of the San Jose Police Officers' Association, found himself on the defensive last week after election returns did not favor the cops. Unland is being challenged for the POA presidency by Jon Baker, a patrol officer and ally of Bobby Lopez, the ex-POA chief. The votes are due Nov. 20.
In an email attack, Baker listed POA setbacks -- the loss on binding arbitration in 2010, the Measure B pension reform, a 10 percent wage cut. He was particularly pointed about Tuesday's results, saying the cops had poured an estimated $200,000 into a losing effort to unseat Councilwoman Rose Herrera. He argued that the POA spent money trying to beat Magadalena Carrasco for the Eastside Union High School District board while doing nothing to help the POA-endorsed Robert Braunstein in a close race in council District 10.
An ex-POA board member who works part time in the bomb unit, Baker proposed firing political consultants Tom Saggau and Dustin DeRollo, building a coalition on the council willing to challenge Mayor Chuck Reed, and halting dues increases for political battles.
Unland declined to comment on his competition, but when IA asked the POA president whether he was experiencing any backlash from Tuesday's results, he said: "I think anyone who is predisposed to vote against me will vote against me." The veteran sergeant has been president for one year. He says he'll retire in January 2015.
Milpitas challenger loses race but gets his sign
Milpitas resident Rob Means may have lost his battle for mayor against incumbent Jose Esteves last week, but in some sense he won the wider war. At a meeting on election night, a good time for burying unwelcome news, the Milpitas City Council approved a pact with Means that will allow him to continue to display a 26-by-16 inch sign that says, "We are the 99 percent."
You may remember the sign kicked off a constitutional battle a year ago when Milpitas officials tried to make Means take it down. After Means made no headway at City Hall, he contacted the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a lawsuit against Milpitas.
The agreement provides that the city will suspend the enforcement of its sign ordinance until it completes a comprehensive review. Put another way, City Hall is holding up a white flag -- and agreeing to pay $20,000 for the ACLU legal bills.
We asked whether the city would preserve the right to such signs after the review, and ACLU attorney Alan Schlosser said this: "I'm quite convinced they will. I got the impression that they understood that's what the Constitution requires."
We can now open our mailboxes without fear
For a slew of candidates, it's been an exhausting three-month campaign, crafting ballot statements, soliciting contributions, pounding the precinct pavement, countering hit pieces and collaring voters.
So it's no surprise that the candidates, especially the victorious ones, are happy Nov. 6 has come and gone. "I'm exhausted," said Craig Mann, the erstwhile Santa Clara County School Board member who just ousted 20-year trustee Richard Tanaka from the San Jose-Evergreen Community College District.
The best part?
"I'm just happy the election is over so I don't see any more stuff from the District 8 race in my mailbox," said Mann, referring to the storm of mailers from the Rose Herrera and Jimmy Nguyen campaigns. "I feel emancipated not having to see all that stuff."
Herrera's victory leaves union leader seething
Not only was the race for San Jose City Council District 8 one of the ugliest in city history. Officially it was a battle between incumbent Rose Herrera and political newcomer Jimmy Nguyen. Unofficially, among her biggest behind-the-scenes foes was South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council leader Cindy Chavez.
Unions had supported Herrera in her 2008 general election run for council. But over the years, Herrera disappointed them by voting with Mayor Chuck Reed, Chavez's 2006 mayoral rival, to impose pay cuts and pension reforms on unionized city workers, which Herrera argued was an unfortunate necessity amid budget deficits to prevent greater layoffs.
But neither the union ground game in District 8 nor its hefty pocketbook -- hundreds of thousands of city and county union employee dollars in campaign contributions and independent expenditures -- succeeded in knocking Herrera out of office.
The day after, Chavez seethed over the result.
"I think Rose Herrera is unfit to serve," Chavez said, even calling Herrera "corrupt." But she added: "We have to respect the will of the voters."
For her part, Herrera said of her refusal to budge against pension reform: "You pay a price for standing up for what's right. We have to move forward and fix this problem for the city or we will be facing bankruptcy."
She said that at one point she considered dropping the city campaign contribution limit -- which was about $128,000 in the general election cycle -- knowing how much would be spent on her defeat.
"But I thought that it's better to live within those rules, even though it was like fighting with one arm behind your back," Herrera said.
Besides, she said, "If I were a union member, I would be pretty upset with the way my money was spent and wasted. I would be wondering, 'What are you doing with my dues?'"Â"
Herrera also isn't the first to wonder whether former District 8 city councilman turned Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese, who may be contemplating a run for San Jose mayor in 2014, wasted some political capital by backing the likes of Patricia Martinez-Roach against her in the primary and Nguyen in the runoff.
"I think he'll find out the next time he runs how much it cost him with voters," Herrera said.

When Kanye West released his debut, The College Dropout, he took a moment on album-closer "Last Call" to rap, "Fans want the feeling of A Tribe Called Quest/But all they got left is this guy called West." A few years ago, those rhymes come full circle when 'Ye started working with Tribe's frontman Q-Tip on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Watch The Throne. Earlier this year, when it was announced that Q-Tip had officially gotten down with G.O.O.D. Music, excitement peaked. With Kanye adding a legendary hip-hop artist to the roster, possibilities seem endless.
We got the chance to speak with Q-Tip while on set for G.O.O.D. Music's Complex cover shoot, and he had plenty to say about his new situation. The conversation drifted from what he's learned from being in the game for so long to what he gets out of rocking with younger dudes like Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and Pusha T and what he makes of being perceived as an "asshole perfectionist."
Interview by Insanul Ahmed (@Incilin)
What have you done for Cruel Summer?
I've done beats. I've done rhymes. We'll see. I didn't mix. I'm just contributing.
Have you been in the studio?
Yeah. I was in New York with Pusha, Kanye and DJ Khaled. Fat Joe was there. One time Cudi was there. It varied. It was cool. Everybody was working. Again, the music is a unifying thing. As long as you keep it centered around music, it's all good.
What's it like working with young guys like Cudi and Big Sean?
It's all music, you know? It's a simple thing. It's just music. That's the thing that brings us together. The unifying force is music. So as long as you operate there.
What is your situation with the label?
It's a long journey, but I've basically been signed to Universal in some way shape or form or incarnation for about 10 years. So I've just kind of been through the system. I still had an obligation to fill and they didn't necessarily want to discard me for whatever reasons so I kind of had my pick of the litter. Dreamworks, Interscope, Motown, and then Def Jam.
I met Kanye years ago at a show. I was working with Kanye during Watch The Throne. I was playing him beats that I was doing and he was like, "Yo, what label are you on?" And I was like, "Def Jam." And he was like, "Damn you need to be on G.O.O.D." And we were rocking, and I was like, let's do it. It's that simple.
When did the G.O.O.D. Music album conversation come up?
Well, Kanye never stops working. This was always going on, he just made the decision to say, "Yo, we should just do the G.O.O.D. Music album." So it wasn't really a "when" type of thing. As long as I can remember he's always kind of mentioned it and talked about it and fertilized it.
You are Kanye are very different personality-wise.
I'm cool but I have my moments. I'm an Aries so I'm fiery and I'm very opinionated. Didn't you see the movie? I'm just kidding. They depicted me as the asshole perfectionist. But I'm not an asshole. I think 'Ye would probably say he's an asshole. We have our similarities. I don't really close off avenues and opportunities, so when that came up I was like, "Sure." I've a very "go with the tide" type of dude.
What type of lessons have you learned being in the game?
The biggest lessons I've learned is that there's another lesson coming. I always try to stay open. It's funny because when I see Pharrell, he always calls me teacher. So to equalize that humility, because I really do think he's a teacher, I call him teacher. I understand the love and the respect that he gives me, but I think the one thing about being a teacher is that you're always a student.
You've got to stay open and continue to put yourself in situations where you can learn a lesson. So the lesson that I learned was to stay open, stay learning, and stay humble.
Can you learn from guys who are new, like a Big Sean or a Kid Cudi?
Absolutely. That's the thing, never stop learning. I like to learn, I'm just a sucker for new information. Learning, working, trying to innovate, and striving. Still being me. My job isn't to be here and be talking about how I'm buying out the bar and tricking my bitches. That's never been my thing and it's not going to start. I don't kid myself.
But I am a student and I have managed to continue to learn. So I definitely learn from Cudi, Sean, and Pusha. Just listening, sitting back, and studying sometimes. You have to be quiet to gain.
Anything specific you've learned from them?
One thing I got from Pusha from watching him and his description of things, his approach is really interesting because he really immerses himself in his music. We all do, but his way of doing it is beyond words. It's amazing to watch and see how he does it.
Watching Jay do lyrics and watching 'Ye do beats, you see similarities in yourself to them. Sometimes when that happens you are like, "Phew. I'm not the only crazy one. They do the same shit I do." That's a learning point as well.
When I've seen Jay do lyrics, he'll sit back and spit the rhymes himself, he'll leave a bar or two, he'll come back to it another day and fill it in. He'll go away and think about and come back two days later and fill it in. I'm a person who will fill that in. And I've seen 'Ye do it t0o. It's a technique thing.
What lessons do you teach these guys?
I love to give information out. Anything that I've known I give; from sounds to mixes to opinions. I just try to be vocal. So I give a lot. I don't really know what I give. But I know that I do give. I don't keep inventory of what I give. I just do it because I enjoy it.
Have you always been that way?
Yes, sometimes to a detriment. Sometimes certain people will take, take, take and then expect you to continue giving. I don't care who you are, but if you give, give, give, you have to be in some sort of relationship where you feel this value coming back.
If you feel there's no value coming back, whether it's appreciation, acknowledgment, or actual things, when you start, then hopefully you wise up and you cut off. You've given. Once you do that then people expect it and they get mad and ornery and angry and you become a perfectionist asshole. That's the perils of giving gifts. And they also forget sometimes.

Does 'pen' ALWAYS refer to the writing instrument in this file or are there any differences sometimes depending on which dialog it appears in?
The reason why I'm asking the question is that there are more than one translation for this word in my language.
Could you please provide a hyperlink to an image on the Internet (if any) of what you meant by 'pen'?
Thank you,

Monday night in Pittsburgh was playoff hockey at its best with hitting, scoring and, of course, OT. But what can these teams expect in Game 7?
Hockey fans really couldn't have asked for more from the Washington-Pittsburgh game Monday night in Steeltown, USA. Big hits, highlight-reel saves, dynamic offensive displays, a rabid crowd and some of the world's most skilled players added up to what was easily one of the best games of the 2009 post-season to date.

After losing three in a row to the Hurricanes, the Bruins bounced back big time Sunday to draw within one game of drawing even in the series.
Let's call it a Mother's Day Massacre. Too much? OK, then how about total domination? That's really the only way to describe Boston's Game 5 victory over Carolina.

Pittsburgh proved Varlamov is human, got a wake-up performance from Malkin and fed off home-ice energy to climb back into their series against the Caps.
Heading into Game 3, the questions surrounding Pittsburgh's ability to make a series of it were threefold: Could Washington goalie Simeon Varlamov continue his stellar play; could Evgeni Malkin and his mates get on track and take some of the offensive heat off Sidney Crosby; and would the Pens be able to build off the energy of a home crowd? The latter was made largely moot early by a bad-hop, Alex Ovechkin goal courtesy of a Mike Green dump-in off the end boards that bounced straight out in front of the Penguins goal while netminder Marc-Andre Fleury was out to lunch behind the net.

With Vancouver struggling 5-on-5 and Detroit and Anaheim humming on the PP, it seems the teams that stay out of the box will prevail.
Two important games will be played Tuesday tonight. Not that they aren't all important in the playoffs; but having wrested home ice advantage from their opponents, Chicago and Anaheim now have a chance to set themselves up for a trip to Round 3.

Carolina erased a one-goal deficit in the last 1:20 while Washington completed their comeback from down 3-1 in their series.
Heading into New Jersey Tuesday night, the question was which goalie would blink, even once? Heading into Washington, the questions were could the Rangers withstand the expected early Capitals barrage and would they be able to compose themselves.

With both teams badly needing a Game 4 win, Philadelphia and Carolina ended up at different ends of the emotional spectrum.
Ugh. That's the word that jumped to mind following the first period in Philadelphia Tuesday night. Not all that descriptive, I know.

Five games on the schedule, including a home debut sure to please and a blood feud that's only going to intensify.
Five, count 'em, five games on the docket Tuesday. Three should be great, one OK and one just a last gasp. I'll let you figure out which is which.

A must-win Game 3 went Calgary's way on home ice, but unless Iginla, Jokinen and Cammalleri step up it won't matter.
"Calgary is always one of the hardest places to play in the regular season," said Chicago winger Adam Burish Sunday. "It's a crazy environment…a big hit or a big penalty kill and the crowd gets into it.

Chris Osgood is answering the bell yet again and the Bruins are running roughshod over the Habs as the favorites take charge.
Isn't it funny how fate works? San Jose spends the entire season at the top of the standings, the Stanley Cup favorite; Detroit, the hands-down pre-season favorite, is dogged by goaltending questions and finishes third, the West's second seed.

There's a wide variety of opinions around the THN offices on who's going to go on to glory and who's headed home.
Well, it's that time of year again. Playoff time. The best time of year. Not only is it Round 1 – 14 days of playoff craziness; at least two games a night of amped up, hot team-on-team action – it's prediction time.

There seem to be more Jack Adams Award candidates than normal this season and the decision may come down to two coaches fighting for a playoff spot.
With the NHL season winding down, awards banter has started to take up more airtime, print space and, as one THNer calls it, the infinite space that is the Internet.

The innate immune response is rapidly engaged after virus infection and functions to limit virus replication and mobilize adaptive immune responses. Viruses have evolved diverse strategies to suppress this critical host response and facilitate virus dissemination. In part, virus pathogenesis is a function of both the quality of the innate response evoked and the evasion strategies encoded by the invading pathogen. Thus, understanding the mechanisms underpinning immune activation and virus evasion will lead to improved vaccine design and novel therapeutics for treatment of both infectious and inflammatory disease.
Our current research program is shaped by the NIAID programmatic objectives in biodefense and emerging infectious disease research, namely basic research of pathogen biology and host response to develop effective vaccines and immunotherapeutics. We use flaviviruses (particularly members of the tick-borne encephalitis virus [TBEV] complex and West Nile virus [WNV]) as the primary model of infection to uncover novel cellular proteins requisite for antiviral innate immune responses and to identify virus-encoded mechanisms that antagonize these responses. These studies involve research of viruses at BSL2, BSL3 and BSL4. Our three main areas of research are outlined below.

Dr. Best received her Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology from the Australian National University where she studied the pathogenesis of myxoma virus, a poxvirus. She conducted her postdoctoral research at Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) on the complex role of apoptosis in the replication of parvoviruses. She stayed at RML as a Research Fellow and then a Staff Scientist to investigate virus-host interactions involved in flavivirus pathogenesis. It was during this time that she developed her interests in innate immunity and the molecular mechanisms utilized by flaviviruses to evade these critical host responses. In 2009, Dr. Best established an independent laboratory as a tenure-track investigator to expand her studies on interactions between pathogenic viruses and the host immune response. In 2011, Dr. Best was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for her work on flavivirus suppression of innate immune responses.

Help for Nurses with Substance Abuse
ANA recognizes that a nurse's duty of compassion and caring extends to themselves and their colleagues as well as to their patients. Nurses who are challenged with substance abuse problems not only pose a potential threat to those for whom they care; they have neglected above all to care for themselves.
At ANA, we care about nurses. That's why we've developed the Impaired Nurse Resource Center; an online repository of information aimed at helping suffering nurses get help.
Additionally, we strongly support the peer assistance programs offered by most — but not all — of the state boards of nursing. These programs offer comprehensive monitoring and support services to reasonably assure the safe rehabilitation and return of the nurse to her or his professional community. To determine whether your state has adopted the "alternative to discipline" model, check with your specific state's Board of Nursing.

SAN JOSE -- Archbishop Mitty trailed nearly the entire second half Friday night against eighth-seeded Soquel, finally taking the lead on Aaron Gordon's three-point play with a little more than a minute to play.
But it wasn't until Scott Akrop's 3-point attempt from the top of the key -- which would have won the game for Soquel -- hit the rim and bounced away in the final seconds that the Monarchs could exhale.
Mitty, a two-time defending state champion, edged Soquel 59-57 in a Central Coast Section Open Division quarterfinal at Piedmont Hills High.
The top-seeded Monarchs (23-5) advance to the semifinals Wednesday against Archbishop Riordan at Independence High.
"I dug really deep on that one," Gordon said after he led Mitty with 27 points. "I almost let my motor get off for a second, but I was like, 'No, this is the sport I love, this is the sport I play.' So I'm just never going to let my motor give out."
Mitty had to dig deep because Soquel (20-7) did what Soquel does.
It made a dozen 3-pointers and did not trail from the late stages of the first half until Gordon aggressively put back a missed shot with 1:14 to play and drew a foul.
Gordon made the free throw to give the Monarchs a 58-57 lead.
Soquel had a chance to retake the lead with about 10 seconds left but missed a 3-pointer. The Knights then fouled Brandon Abajelo, who made one of two free throws with 7.9 seconds left to give Mitty and a two-point lead and set the stage for the dramatic conclusion.
"We're the No. 1 seed, so we're going to get everyone's best shot," Gordon said. "No knock on Soquel. They're a really good team. They shot the hell out of the ball."
It was clear from the outset that Soquel would be a challenge. The Knights led by three points at halftime and by five after three quarters. They led by as many as eight in the second half.
"Soquel is a hell of a team," Mitty coach Tim Kennedy said. "They gave us everything they had. We finally made plays at the end when we needed to."
Archbishop Riordan 58, Palo Alto 47: It was going to take a nearly perfect night for Palo Alto to extend its winning streak to 22 games and advance to the CCS Open Division semifinals.
But it was far from perfect for the Vikings. With 7:40 left in the second quarter, Palo Alto center Keller Chryst -- a highly ranked quarterback in football -- hobbled off the court and later out of the gym with an ankle injury.
The Vikings (23-2) kept the score relatively close into the third quarter, but they did not have enough to keep Riordan (18-9) from making it an all-WCAL semifinal.
"It kind of changed everything," Palo Alto coach Adam Sax said of Chryst's injury. "We had to move guys around in different spots on offense, the timing wasn't the same. We had to adjust."
Aubrey Dawkins led Palo Alto with 24 points, but it could have been an even better night. He missed a 3-pointer that went in and somehow came out in the first quarter. Moments later, his dunk attempt did the same thing -- somehow flying out of the cylinder.
"Bad start," Dawkins said. "But we've got to adjust and somehow adapt and put points in the basket. We played well. We played good defense, but obviously they played better defense."
Chryst was evaluated by a trainer from Riordan, and Sax later said he heard it could be a six-week injury, which means the 6-foot-4 junior will miss the team's consolation game Tuesday at Independence.
Bobby Arenas led Riordan with 19 points. Frankie Ferrari had 16.

This summer will be a summer of many updates to Weewar! We will be working hard to fix bugs and improve communication with the community, which we realize has been faltering over the past couple months.
As a first step, we have just released a fix for that pesky out-of-sync Flash client bug. If you still experience out-of-sync errors or extreme slowness on the game interface, please leave a bug report with details about what you were doing via the contact form.
We apologize for the lack of communication and development recently, but that is all changing now as we move forward into a new era for Weewar. As some rumors suggest, the Weewar team has some new partners that are committed to providing a great game experience. We cannot offer any more comment on that just yet, but we will give a proper, official announcement when the time is right.
Many of you already know me, Ryan, aka spadequack. I am now officially onboard the Weewar team (whoo!), at least for the summer, and I definitely look forward to improving Weewar and bringing it to the next level. Please let me know how I am doing – you can reach me via the contact form, the community forums, or on the community chat if you catch me online there.
I am excited at this awesome opportunity to work on the game I love, and I hope you all are excited too at the many improvements and changes to come!

On Freezing Wine
Frozen wine may seem like a tragedy but it is really a fast and easy way to keep wine fresh in a pinch. A partial bottle of wine can simply be stopped or recorked and put in the freezer and saved for another time. Interestingly enough freezing wine does not damage its delicate tastes or smell. Time would harm a wine more than freezing. The only possible chance of damaging a wine in the freezer comes from long term freezing or the bottle getting popped open or cracking from the expanding water. Even wine that may have been altered by long term freezing can still be cooked with, if drinking it doesn't seem appealing anymore. Fill three bottle wine totes with care still though. Freezing cannot replace a good wine cellar for aging wine. In fact open bottles are the only ones that can be frozen. Due to water expanding as it freezes an unopened bottle could easily crack or shatter in the freezer. Of course it is still a great way to save a partial bottle. For best results, let the wine thaw slowly over a day or so, otherwise some dissipation may occur.

SAN JOSE -- Barring the unforeseen, the Sharks will have forward Adam Burish in the lineup for the first time all season when they face the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.
Burish injured his back in the exhibition opener last September, then underwent surgery for a herniated disc. He said it was important to him to get back in action before the 20-day Olympic break that begins Saturday.
"It's a feel-good for me that I put the work in and I'm ready," said Burish, who is expected to be on the fourth line with Adam Desjardins and Mike Brown. "I want to get a couple games in and I guess some of it is that peace of mind, that I did it."
Burish, who is in the second year of his four-year contract, struggled at times last season with only three points in 46 games, then finished strong in the playoffs. Coach Todd McLellan suggested that his less-than-ideal play makes Burish even hungrier now, and he didn't disagree.
"Going into this year I was hungry. I wasn't happy with the way the year went last year," Burish said. "Then getting injured in the first preseason game and having to watch the first 50-something games, there's a lot of hunger there."
Burish said he doesn't plan to ease into the game, but will try to bring the high energy and passion that have characterized his playing style.
"I'm not going to come in here and light the world on fire and be somebody I'm not," he said. "I'm just going to do the things I've always done here, what the guys expect of me."
Backup goalie Alex Stalock will be in goal for the Sharks against Dallas, he third start in the past six games.

Today: Tesla stock reaches record intraday and closing prices as analysts prepare for earnings announcement amid reports of Apple acquisition interest. Also: Tech stocks move higher despite a decline from Hewlett-Packard.
The Lead: Tesla closes above $200 for first time ahead of earnings report
Tesla Motors stock reached all-time highs yet again Tuesday, as Wall Street returned from a long weekend to an analyst upgrade ahead of the electric car maker's fourth-quarter earnings announcement as well as a report that CEO Elon Musk met with the head of mergers and acquisitions at Apple last year.
After topping $200 in intraday trades last week for the first time, Tesla moved as high as $206 Tuesday and closed above the mark for the first time, gaining 2.8 percent to $203.70. Some analysts believes the stock is worth more, with Baird and Litchfield Hills Research analysts increasing their price targets Tuesday.
Baird analyst Ben Kallo increased his target price for Tesla from $187 to $215 Tuesday, explaining that he believes the company will announce higher sales totals than expected when the Palo Alto company releases its earnings report Wednesday afternoon, and could surprise with other announcements.
"We believe several catalysts could drive the stock higher including 2014 delivery guidance, additional battery factory details, and a possibility for more info on a new production line," the analyst wrote.
Litchfield Hills Research analyst Theodore O'Neill bumped his price target from $188 to $222, predicting that Tesla's huge 2013 growth rate will slow in 2014, but cost savings from continued growth in production will help gross margins at a company he says is misconstrued by many investors.
"As long as there is a large group of investors who compare Tesla to a traditional automaker, the stock will remain undervalued in our opinion," O'Neill wrote. "We feel that investors underestimate the appeal of the Model S and the sales and service experience."
Other analysts contacted by Bloomberg pointed in another direction than price target increases for Tuesday's optimism, though: A San Francisco Chronicle report released Sunday that claimed Tesla CEO Elon Musk met with the head of Apple's head of mergers and acquisitions last year, sparking renewed rumors about a possible acquisition.
While the report caused a stir, it cited only a single, unnamed source on the meeting's occurrence, and did not provide any specifics about what happened beyond Musk supposedly meeting with executive Adrian Perica and "probably" CEO Tim Cook.
Analysts wasted little time in shooting down the possibility of Apple acquiring Tesla.
"I would put zero chance of a merger," Jeffries analyst Peter Misek told CNBC on Tuesday.
"There's no indication" that Apple may acquire Tesla, Stifel Nicolaus analyst James Albertine told Bloomberg; Albertine concurred with three other analysts that the report helped juice Tesla stock Tuesday.
Instead, analysts said, Apple and Tesla could work together, similar to Musk's collaboration dalliance with Google on driverless cars.
"(Steve Jobs') departure has left a big gaping hole even now with all the talent they have at Apple, so they would certainly look to collaborations and Musk certainly fits that bill," Misek told CNBC, mentioning Apple electronics appearing in the back seat of Tesla's upcoming Model X SUV as a possible target for both companies.
Tesla will reveal the total number of 2014 sales in Wednesday's earnings report, but the company already announced last month that it sold 6,900 Model S units in the fourth quarter, higher than expected at the time. The electric car company has outlasted rivals such as Fisker Automotive, a Southern California electric car company that had its remaining assets sold in an auction to a Chinese company, but still faces possible issues stemming from an ongoing federal investigation into car fires in the Model S.
Apple shares gained 0.4 percent to $545.99 in the wake of the report, which also highlighted the Cupertino company's reported plans to focus on health with a possible wearable product this year. The company was named the world's most valuable brand for the third year in a row while it adroitly deals with difficulties in selling iPhones in Russia.
SV150 market report: Silicon Valley tech stocks gain despite HP's decline
Wall Street moved very little overall Tuesday as traders returned from a long weekend, but Silicon Valley technology stocks enjoyed strong gains in spite of a drop from the second-largest tech company in the Bay Area, Hewlett-Packard.
HP dropped 1.5 percent to $29.58 after a report called into question how much the Palo Alto tech giant knew about Autonomy's finances before entering into its big-money acquisition of the British software firm. HP has written down $8.8 billion of the roughly $11 billion it committed to the purchase of Autonomy and claimed that the company misrepresented its financial state in the lead-up to the acquisition, counting computer sales as software sales and not subtracting the cost of making the machines among other tricks. After investigating the information HP was provided before the sale, though, the Financial Times said Tuesday that the company knew about the hardware sales that were masking poor results in the core software division, or at least should have known based on the information the company was provided. The report adds to an interesting cache of information in the case, which includes Air Force documents backing HP's claims, that will end up as evidence in HP's battle to prove malfeasance.
Silicon Valley's video game stocks enjoyed a strong showing Tuesday after "Candy Crush Saga" maker King Digital moved ahead on an initial public offering, with Zynga gaining 5.8 percent to a 52-week closing high of $5.15 and Electronic Arts advancing 3 percent to $28.40. Netflix moved 0.3 percent higher to $436.85 and hit new all-time highs despite possibly losing steam on the Los Gatos company's efforts to be distributed through Time Warner Cable's set-top boxes. Google also reached record prices again Tuesday, gaining 0.7 percent to $1,210.88 while securing new office space in San Francisco and striking a deal with a prominent advertising buyer. Pandora joined the party as well, hitting all-time highs while gaining 5.1 percent to $37.97, and Elon Musk's other Silicon Valley company, SolarCity, reached record prices as well and increased 8 percent to $79.95.
Up: SolarCity, Zynga, Pandora, SunPower, Ruckus, Gilead, LinkedIn, EA, Tesla, Yelp, Intuit, Salesforce, Twitter, eBay, Google, Workday
Down: Symantec, HP, Cisco, Applied Materials, NetApp, Nvidia, Oracle
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Up 8.97, or 0.58 percent, to 1,565.74
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 28.76, or 0.68 percent, to 4,272.78

Only a subtitle converter / muxer. NOT an editor!
Note that the same task cannot be accomplished for free with Handbrake + Subler. It doesn't find the subtitle files for you. It doesn't automatically find metadata. It doesn't let you sync the subtitles visually. It doesn't add your finished file to iTunes. And so on, and so on... That's the reason I spent endless hours developing iSubtitle.

Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich (shwyk) will face two third-party candidates in the general election.
Schweich had no challengers Tuesday in the Republican primary for auditor, and the Democrats fielded no candidate.
That means Schweich will advance to the Nov. 4 general election against Libertarian Sean O'Toole and Constitution Party candidate Rodney Farthing.
Schweich is seeking his second four-year term as auditor.
