CINCINNATI (AP) - Roy Halladay allowed a pair of hits in seven
innings and drove in three runs with the second double of his
career on Tuesday night, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-0
victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Halladay (16-5) gave up Brandon Phillips' leadoff single in the
first inning, then dominated the team he no-hit in the playoffs
last season. His bases-loaded double in the sixth inning off
Bronson Arroyo (8-11) made it 6-0.
Ryan Howard hit two of the Phillies' four homers, giving him 29
for the season. He also reached 100 RBIs for the sixth straight
year, a team record.
Howard had been tied with Hall of Famer Chuck Klein for
consecutive 100-RBI seasons.
Raul Ibanez returned from a strained groin and had a two-run
homer among his three hits. Hunter Pence also hit a solo homer off
Arroyo, who has given up the most in the majors.
The Phillies improved to 5-1 against the Reds this season and
19-6 lately. They swept their three-game division series last
season, which started with Halladay throwing the second postseason
no-hitter in history.
When he gets together with the Reds, memorable things tend to
Any thoughts of another no-hitter were dismissed on his second
pitch. Phillips singled to right field, extending his hitting
streak to 13 games, the longest by a Red this season. The Reds
wouldn't get another hit until Joey Votto doubled in the seventh.
Halladay walked two, hit one batter and fanned nine.
Cincinnati managed four hits while getting blanked for the
seventh time. Philadelphia's 18 shutouts lead the majors.
Halladay will remember this one for his swing.
He came to bat in the sixth with the bases loaded and lined a
down-the-middle pitch the opposite way into the right-field corner.
His awkward swing produced his first RBIs of the season and ended
Arroyo's outing. The right-hander fell to 1-7 career against the
Howard connected off Arroyo in the fourth. Pence hit a
chest-high pitch for a homer that started the rally in the sixth.
Arroyo has given up 36 homers, the most ever by a Reds
right-hander. Left-hander Eric Milton holds the franchise record of
40 homers allowed.

[Build] Bleed stacking w/ crit
Posted 10 August 2012 - 07:18 PM
Working on a bleed/crit build for my Ranger and I've come to the point where I feel it's down to tweaking it.
I'm currently standing between these two builds. Remember to look at traits as well as armor/weapon runes!:
Build A 1.3 - Focus on increasing conditional duration.
96 damage per tick * 5 ticks (one per second) = 480 damage over 5 seconds
Is focusing heavily on the glass cannon (Build A). It got the possibility of hitting multiple targets with piercing arrows, and can gain sharpening stone, which I would really like, when I hit 75%.
Build B 1.3 - More survivability with this build. Focus on increasing conditional damage.
112 damage per tick * 3 ticks (one per second) = 336 damage over 3 seconds
Adds much more survivability (Build B ), but seems to have a slight decrease of possible damage output.
I would love to hear your feedback on these builds and the tweaks between them, but also on other things such as utility skills.
1.0 - Added builds: Build A 1.0 & Build B 1.0
1.1 - Changed Build A to 2 Lyssa from 2 Krait armor runes, to increase duration up to 5.1 from 4.8 so it's rounded down to 5. Also added the calculated damage per tick for the builds. Thanks Mouse (from the guild EPIC)!
1.2 - Changed Build A' last trait in the skirmish tree from increased axe critical damage to Quickening Zephyr at 25% hp. This is due to Skky's (from the guild EPIC) video, where he pointed out the value of quickness.
1.3 - Changed Lightning Reflexes to Sharpening Stone in both builds, because of tested effectiveness in the stress test August 2.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 07:40 PM
- Offers additional stacks of Bleeding via Splitblade
- Your autoattack hits up to 3 enemies -> Together with Sharpening Stone you can reliably apply Bleeding to multiple enemies
Other than that I think you offer a good mix of DPS and Cond DMG while not being too squishy.
BTW, what is the % chance on Sharpening Edges (trait)?
Posted 10 August 2012 - 09:46 PM
bleed builds look gay id rather smash people with auto attack

I've been thinking a lot about using an axe as main weapon, and it was also mentioned in my thread on the guild forum. I also said concluded there that the piercing arrows combination would work better in WvW and such, but another thing is that when the targeted opponent flees behind another player it pierces them, which it wouldn't do usually. Maybe this will be more beneficial when people actually get skilled in the game.
I haven't found any place that states what the % chance on Sharpening Edges is unfortunately. Weapon Runes with crit chance procs have 60%, so my guess would be around 30%-60%
I use sword as I usually only switch to flee or gain distance, where I find the sword greater. That is also why I choose those runes on that weapon set.

But your specc is great. With over 50% crit chance and the fast shortbow and the stuff you can easily stack bleedings. And with the sick glyph combination they WILL die, even if they stomp you.

edit: which basicly every class got a ton off

However, you apply bleed with every crit and condition applying skills have a lower CD than condition cleansing skills.
Once players get better and closely watch their conditions, you have to play smart. Covering conditions for example (I think the newest ones get removed? Can't remember).
And/or, which is what I do, apply bleeds with low CDs, autoattacks etc. Directly after he cleanses use your longer CDs to get him up to high stacks again.
With a condition build you play nice mindgames sometimes. Or you just stomp newbies.
The only thing that is a real counter are mass cond removals or ticking cond removals. Necros or properly specced Rangers are a pain :/
Crit / Power is much more straight forward, but gets countered by high Toughness (cond damage is unaffected).

If you look on how condition stacking and such works, it isn't so much affected. Using a condition remover v.s. this is basically like having a 1 sec immortality skill.
Posted 19 August 2012 - 11:57 PM
A lot of conditions last longer then my example of 2s, but even with that the rune sets with smaller duration increases of like 2-5% are pretty useless at the moment, unless you are 2-5% away from another whole second.
Posted 20 August 2012 - 12:46 AM
But for reference if all you had was 15% bleed duration from one of the rune sets then the bleed has to be at least 7s duration to receive any benefit.

My take on the build I run is the same as this one, except sun spirit instead of the condition removal ( you're going to do point defense/attack anyway, and if they get you you'll die anyway ) and the sun spirit has the nice advtange of potentially giving you buff covers to avoid your bleed getting removed, I think.
Also, I run the vines as the ult for more bleeding and free kiting / positioning

I will however say that I havent been outright owned 1v1 yet, i think rangers are in a great place right now
Posted 29 August 2012 - 11:07 AM
I'd argue longbow power builds + a greatsword are less easy to counter than the condition builds, + the greatsword gives some kind of escape + the "teamplay" aspect is more present as longbow

Veteran jazz musician and radio host Humphrey Lyttelton has died aged 86, the BBC reports. Lyttleton also played on Radiohead's 2001 album Amnesiac.
Humphrey Lyttelton was chairman of BBC Radio 4's comedy panel show 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' since 1972 and hosted BBC Radio 2's The Best of Jazz for 40 years. He began playing the trumpet in 1936 and was still touring with his band up until his admission to hospital April 16.
Trumpeter Lyttelton played trumpet on Radiohead's 'Life In A Glass House', the closing track of Amnesiac. Talking about the collaboration with Radiohead he said: "The thing was that Jonny Greenwood who is that guy who does the talking, he wrote to me and said this is probably an awful cheek but we've got a track on our forthcoming CD where we're having terrible trouble about how to treat it. And we discussed it the other day and thought that maybe the sort of New Orleans-y jazz – they'd heard some of my early records – so, what do you think about it? So I said "Yes" in that true journalistic fashion and then they sent me a tape of the tune – couldn't make head or tail of it – and this is where the find out about it after, say "Yes" first, regret it later. But, we had a meeting up at the BBC and I said, sort of half jokingly, "Sounds to me as though the sort of thing that might go would be New Orleans funeral music" because as you know, it's not 'Happy Days Are Here Again' when they perform. And he said "Yeah, great idea".
So we went in a studio and spent, I think it was, nine hours or seven hours, gradually moving. They didn't know what they wanted us to do. We didn't know what they wanted us to do and we gradually sort of moved towards it. And after seven hours, I said "That's it, it's not going to get any better than that". There's a certain sort of… working with Radiohead… has a certain Sorry I haven't a Clue element, unexpected element about it because Thom Yorke, the singer, who writes wonderful things – that always reminded me of that Procol Harem thing… the surrealistic words – only his are far out and great. When they came to us we had to play the tape over and over and over and I began to get the feeling of what he was on about. It's abstract, the concept of his lyrics.
Here's Radiohead with Humphrey Lyttelton, Jimmy Hastings and John Barnes performing 'Life in a glass House' on Later… with Jools Holland in 2001.

Enkomputiligis Don HARLOW
[In the years 1962-1963 the late, lamented International Language Review, edited and published by Floyd Hardin of Denver, CO, printed a four part symposium "Is Esperanto the Answer to the World Language Problem?" Well, symposium is perhaps not the correct term; it was more like a cat fight. The fourth part appeared in the July-September 1963 issue. It was a summing-up, containing articles by Dr. Alexander Gode, the inventor of lnterlingua, by Dr. Ivo Lapenna, then Secretary-General of UEA, and by the well-known linguist Dr. Mario Pei. For the interest of a new generation, we here reproduce Dr. Pei's final contribution to the discussion -- probably the most even-minded, level-headed contribution to the entire four-part debate. References to Interlingua are representative of the mindset of the American international language movement in the 1960's but are, of course, no longer of much relevance.]
While it is easy to discuss the individual merits of Esperanto, or Interlingua, or both, it is difficult to hold a debate over tbeir relative merits, in view of their avowed difference of purpose. Dr. Gode never tires of repeating that Interlingua is not meant to be an international language of common intercourse for the world's people, but only a tongue to be used by scientists, preferably in written form, in their journals and at their meetings. Esperantists just as frankly avow their aim to set up Esperanto as a fully spoken language of common, everyday usage for everybody. It is tberefore as illogical to debate their relative merits as it would be to debate the qualifications of two candidates for such different offices as President of the United States of America and Mayor of Peoria, Illinois.
Dr. Gode is frankly skeptical about the possibility of having a language of common intercourse for all the people of the world, or at least for that portion, fortunately ever-growing, which can be reached by formal education. On this point I have always differed with him, and continue to do so. I not only believe that "One Language for the World" is practical and feasible, but I venture to prophesy that such a language will be in operation, though perhaps not functioning with perfect smoothness, by the year 2000 A.D. It is badly needed now. It will be more and more needed as the years roll by. Eventually, that need will impinge itself upon the consciousness of the World's governments, and they will act. The rest will be relatively easy, though it may take years and decades to get the world language to function naturally and smoothly.
What the procedure of choice and implementation may be we can only guess at right now. I have suggested a possible mode of procedure in my One Language for the World [New York Devon-Adair,1958. - ed.], but I am the first to admit that many other modes of procedure are possible.
While I do not consider it possible to debate the relative merits of Interlingua and Esperanto because of their difference of purpose, it is quite possible to exercise critical judgement on them individually and in turn, always keeping in mind what they are supposed to be and do.
Interlingua may be of limited value in facilitating the work of international scientific congresses and summarizing scientific papers, articles and books. I use the word "limited" because the true scientist (as apart from the technician) who is not equipped with one or more languages beside his own is rare. It is a little difficult to conceive of an Italian, or Japanese, or Iraqi, or even Russian scientist who has not studied English, French or German, or all three, at least to the point of being able to read them. It is quite true that Interlingua contains all the scientific terminology, based on Latin and Greek roots, that is common to our western civilization. But so do the major western languages, particularly English and French. Interlingua, therefore, seems to serve a partly redundant purpose. Since Interlingua has no ambition to serve as the world language of the masses, it seems to me that we may safely leave it to fulfill its limited function. Let its users pass judgement on it. If the world's scientists decide that it is worth while to have, among themselves, a language of limited use, they will adopt it. But they may find it easier and more practical to adopt one of the existing scientific languages, notably English, which is widespread, combines Latin, Greek and Germanic elements, presents few basic structural difficulties, particularly in written form for scientific statement, wbile its tremendous difficulties of spelling vs. pronunciation will be covered up by the fact that it will be used primarily in writing.
As has been the case all through history, scholars, scientists, and people of high education are the ones who need an international language the least, because they have all sorts of resources and replacements at their disposal. My own interest lies in a language of common intercourse for the people of the world as a whole, and here, by the teims of the debate, Esperanto is left in sole control of the field. Yet the merits of Esperanto can perfectly well be weighed, not against those of Interiingua, which is not a candidate for the same post, but against those of languages, natural and consnucted, that are avowed candidates.
Here we can proceed either by linguistic theory or by linguistic practice. Linguistic theory informs us that for the purpose we have in mind one language is as good as another. All languages are on the same plane, because all languages are equally easy and natural to their native speakers, those who have acquired them and used them from early childhood. There is no evidence that any language, in purely spoken form, is more easily assimilated by its own speakers than any other language. Therefore, by linguistic theory, all we have to do is to select, blindly if we wish, any one of the nearly 3000 natural languages of the world, or of the 700 or more constructed languages that have been offered since the 17th century, and put it into operation. Any one of them will do the job.
Linguistic practice is something else. In modern civilization, languages must have a written as well as a spoken form. Ease of language-learning is definitely not on a plane of equality, so far as the written counterparts of the spoken languages are concerned. Inherent, objective ease and difficulty are in evidence here, and the objective standard by which such ease or difficulty is gauged is the extent to which there is sound-for-symbol correspondence between the spoken and the written form.
Here the constructed language holds a tremendous advantage over the natural language. In the course of their histories, natural languages have deveioped discrepancies in correspondence. Some have greater discrepancies than others, butthere are few natural languages where you can, after an hour's instruction in the correlation between speech sound and written symbols, pronounce or spell the language creditably, let alone perfectly (English and French, two of the leading contenders among the natural languages for the international post, are unfortunately among the worst sinners in this respect). On the other harnd, constructed languages, by virtue of the very fact that they are constructed, are generally equipped with sound-for-symbol correspondence.
It can, of course, be replied that one can phonetize a natural language. But here another disadvantage of the natural language rises up to plague us. These languages are normally heavily dialectalized. In some, like French, there is an ideal standard, or preferred dialect form, which could be taken as the norm for phonetization and international use. In others, like English, there is no such standard or norm. This means that enforced standardization must be added to (in fact, must precede) phonetization. These twin hurdles, standardization and phonetization, are not insurmountable, but they are grave and time-consuming.
Constructed languages, by virtue of the fact that they are constructed, are normally fully standardized. Add to this that the constructed language, though it may not be quite as neutral or fully as international or intercontinental as some would like, is nevertheless neutral enough to escape the charge of cultural imperialism that may be leveled at any natural language. Among adult learners, everyone would have to make some effort to leam the constructed language, though this effort might be greater or smaller to the extent that the language leans more or less in tbe direction of the learner's native tongue.
One might say that the reaction of the adult generation of learners is irrelevant, since the intemational language is meant primarily, almost exclusively, for the unbom generations of the future. Unfortunately, the choice will have to be made by an existing adult generation, and it is very hard to exclude from the consciousness of the adult speaker the purely subjective factor of what is easy or difficult "for me".
The frequently voiced objection that constructed languages are not natural, that they do not issue from the soil, that they do not carry a cultural content and tradition, leaves me altogether cold. We are dealing with a twentieth-century civilization, in which the artificial is often infinitely preferable to the natural. For purposes of present-day transportation, I would much prefer to have an artificial automobile, tailored to my needs, rather than a "natural" horse. Cultural contents and traditions, history shows us, can very easily be created, acquired and borrowed, particularly for that part which is worth while having, and which does not represent an exaggerated sense of nationalism or even imperialism. There is no good reason why the truly cultural content of the world's great cultures cannot be transferred to a constructed language, as it is right now in the process of being transferred from one natural language to another.
All of the foregoing considerations would lead me, if I were a member of a linguistic commission created to select a language for world use, to cast my initial ballot in favor of a constructed rather than a naturai language. The constructed language, in my opinion, would materially reduce the very real difficulties and problems of the great innovation that a world language would constitute.
This narrows down my choice to the constructed languages. Here again, practical linguistics comes to the fore. It is as vain to seek perfection in a constructed language as in a natural one, for the very simple reason that in the field of language there is no such thing as perfection. It may be perfectly true that Ido or Novial may express a certain concept more clearly and tersely than Esperanto or Volapuk; but Esperanto or Volapu"k may have certain other areas of superiority. Also, there is nothing to prevent a given constructed language, once it is adopted for world use, from being modified or improved upon by the Language Academy that will under all circumstances have to be created and function, far more effectively than the French or Italian or Spanish Academies, to keep the language from being dialectalized, and to prescribe in no uncertain terms, what is and what is not correct, standard usage.
In my examination of the numerous constructed languages that have been offered since the days of Descartes, I have come across many praiseworthy features that could eventually be incorporated into a fully functioning world tongue, just as new elements of vocabulary will have to be. But if we undertake to solve now, before the adoption of a world language, the numerous problems of how to improve upon existing candidates, we can easily go on doing this for another thousand years. The thing to do is to adopt the language, put it into operation, and modify it later, as it will have to be modified under al1 circumstances.
There is one constructed language that has more followers and is more widely recognized than any other. This is a de facto situation, and not necessarily predicated upon inherent merits. Whatever its merits or demerits may be, that language has proved 1. that it can draw to itself a fairly large and highly enthusiastic body of followers; 2. that it can satisfactorily serve all the purposes of a spoken and written language, even to the point of producing its own body of original literature and poetry; 3. that it can draw the interest and attention of governments; 4. that it can draw the interest and attention of outsiders, to the point where there are few who have not heard of it, and don't equate its name with the concept of "international language". That language is Esperanto.
Without being in the least fanatical; without at all saying that it must be Esperanto or nothing; without excluding the possibility of another choice, and my own graceful acceptance of that choice; with the full realization that, although based on long years of study of the problem, mine is only a personal reaction, and one that I would not at all care to force down anybody else's throat; I must nevertheless come to the conclusion that Esperanto seems to me the most logical, though by no means the only possible, candidate for the post of international tongue.

Finely Balanced New Zealand Central Bank Decision Draws Attention
It's been a long time since a rate decision in New Zealand has generated so much interest. After all, the Reserve Bank has held its Official Cash Rate at a record-low of 2.5% for almost three years running.
But now, with the economy humming along, a host of factors — rising house prices, strong export prices, surging consumer and business confidence and higher-than-expected inflation — suggest interest rates need to go higher.
A rate hike would place the RBNZ among the first developed-world central banks to raise rates as the global economy begins to recover. At least one increase seems certain this year. But analysts are divided over whether the bank will start the process this Thursday – its first meeting of 2014 — or hold off until March.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister John Key told Parliament that the Kiwi economy grew 3.5% in the year to September 2013, and latest forecasts show that pace holding up in 2014.
Money markets see a 38% chance the RBNZ will raise rates Thursday. Economists are leaning toward a hike only in March, but say it could go either way.
Cameron Bagrie, ANZ's chief economist in Wellington, predicts a quarter-percentage point move Thursday, largely due to inflationary pressures.
The central bank's mandate is to keep the consumer price index near the midpoint of its 1%-3% target range. CPI rose 1.6% on-year in the fourth quarter — the central bank was expecting 1.4% — its highest level since March 2012.
"Inflation is rising and is now closer to the mid-point of the policy band than the bottom of it, and the RBNZ is now explicitly targeting the midpoint," Mr. Bagrie said.
However, drilling down on the inflation details leads ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley to the "hold" camp. Wage growth remains weak and the strong New Zealand dollar is keeping the cost of imported goods down.
"While headline inflation is running ahead of forecast, we don't see any 'smoking gun' in the inflation picture," he said.
Another factor working against an immediate hike is the exchange rate. Over the past year the Kiwi dollar has largely held steady against the U.S. dollar but is up 3.6% on a trade-weighted basis. Against the currency of Australia – a key trading partner — the Kiwi is hovering around its highest level since late 2005.
The exchange rate is "an increasing headwind for those businesses that are selling into Australia," Finance Minister Bill English told local media Tuesday.
Lifting rates would make the currency even more attractive to investors. So how much weight will the central bank give to exchange-rate concerns, versus the surging economy and rising inflation?
Annette Beacher, Singapore-based head of Asia-Pacific Research for TD Securities concedes the chances of a hike Thursday "are far from zero." But she thinks the central bank is more likely to "prepare the markets for the forthcoming tightening cycle, not pull the actual trigger."

Halladay 2, Hitters 0
It might be safe to say after Roy Halladay's no-hitter against the Reds Wednesday in Game One of the National League Division Series, that this string of magical pitching isn't over. We joked in the Fix yesterday that the Year of the Pitcher might transition into the Postseason of the Pitcher, but we didn't actually expect it to happen six hours after the playoffs' first pitch.
The no-hitter wasn't only the first in 54 years, when Don Larsen fired his World Series perfect game, but also just the second in the history of the MLB playoffs. Larsen and Halladay are now forever intertwined in the annals of history—until, of course, someone throws the unavoidable perfect game next week. And it wasn't like Halladay did it against a joke of a team. The Reds, according to the Journal's Mike Sielski, "are anything but a run-of-the-mill offensive club." They led the National League this season in runs (790), home runs (188), slugging percentage (.436) and on-base-plus slugging (.774). So if there were ever an occasion for hyperbole, now might be an acceptable time.
ESPN's Rob Neyer notes that Halladay is one of five pitchers who have thrown two no-hitters in a calendar year. (He also tossed a perfect game against Florida in May.) "Letting Roy Halladay loose against the National League this year," Neyer writes, "was like locking a hungry wolf inside a garage full of kittens." Baseball Reference hit the nail on the head with their "Roy Halladay's Postseason Jitters" post. Underneath it was a quick parenthetical explanation: "(This post intentionally left blank since he apparently doesn't have any.)"
If it's prescience you're looking for, ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick pretty much wrote the prologue to the future novel, "The Day Roy Halladay Pitched a No-Hitter in Game One of the NLDS" and disguised it as a column about Halladay's insane preparation techniques for his postseason debut. "In this, the biggest game of his career," Crasnick writes, previewing Wednesday's game, "Halladay will be all business when he stares in for the first sign from Carlos Ruiz."
Cam Cole of the Montreal Gazette brings up an interesting point that not many writers are addressing, but it makes the Halladay story even sweeter. "Halladay could never be on this kind of stage while he was a Blue Jay," Cole writes, "because they shared a division with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The move to Philly sparked two of the most momentous games of his career — a perfect game in Florida in May, and now this."
And finally, a Daily Fix prediction: the "Double Roybow" shirt, if anyone can actually successfully find one, will be the best-seller of the postseason.

Poor Cliff Lee. Lost in a sea of praise heaped on Roy Halladay, Lee went out earlier Wednesday and promptly shut down the Tampa Bay Rays, giving up five hits over seven innings while striking out 10 batters. ESPN.com's Richard Durrett notes that Lee is now 3-0 with a 0.72 ERA with 25 strikeouts and no walks in Game Ones in his career. "He's given up just 6.1 hits per nine innings pitched in those games," Durrett writes.
Today's starter for Texas, hoping to keep the momentum going, is C.J. Wilson, a converted closer who practices Taoism, plays guitar and recently told Fox Sports that he was proficient with a machete. He wanted to play in the majors as a kid not for the fame and glory, but because he wanted to buy cool cars. "Now he owns several sports cars, including a 2011 Porsche GT3 RS," the Tampa Tribune's Tony Fabrizio writes. "He has raced in several formula events, including a 25-hour race, and won a pole position last winter."
The Yankees also won Wednesday night in a four-hour-plus game that was close until the seventh inning, when Mark Teixeira blasted a two-run homer and allowed the Yankees to bring in the scary bullpen combo of trade deadline acquisition Kerry Wood and playoff legend Mariano Rivera, who broke four bats while getting four outs. "What's mystifying," Yahoo's Jeff Passan writes, "is that he throws a single pitch, a dirty bomb of a pitch, yes, but just one nonetheless. Not only can hitters damn near never make solid contact, they fare so poorly that the lone weapon at their disposal often turns into a useless recyclable."
"He could build a log cabin with all the bats he's broken," Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher told Passan.
Today's playoff action begins at 2:37 p.m., with the Rangers and Rays again playing afternoon baseball, followed by New York at Minnesota and Atlanta at San Francisco.

Most hockey fans probably don't remember the name David Frost. But those who do remember the name do not have fond associations with the former Canadian youth league coach. Frost was banned from a pair of Canadian minor leagues for various on- and off-ice transgressions – from falsifying documents to a charge of "sexual exploitation" on which he was found not guilty in 2008 – and was allegedly the target of a failed murder-for-hire attempt by former protégé and St. Louis Blues center Mike Danton, who served time in jail for the plot. That track record probably explains why Frost legally changed his name to Jim McCauley—his wife's maiden name is McCauley—especially now that Frost has allegedly gone back to coaching and advising youth hockey players, this time in California at the Laguna Hockey Academy.
Frost/McCauley denies that he is coaching; he claims that he is developing, testing, marketing and selling training equipment. But two stark reactions to his presence paint the perfect picture of the man, with most people probably falling into a confused middle ground between the two. Dave Pollitt, the strength and conditioning coach, told the Toronto Sun that he decided to leave the Academy after discovering Jim McCauley's past life. "When I saw a photo, I immediately recognized him," Pollitt told Steve Simmons. "As soon as I found out it was him, I knew I had to get out of here." On the other side of the spectrum is Chris Sheffield, an instructor at the Academy. "When they bring in someone like Jim McCauley to run this establishment," Sheffield tells Simmons, "people are happy with it because they know they are getting superior hockey instruction."
Deadspin's Katie Baker has an extra-long rundown of the whole story.

Starting at the Swimming Pool at Candlewood and Mimosa, begin your journey by following Mimosa Street. Enter the park to the left when you see the Bridge over Buffalo Creek. Take a right on the bike trail (do not cross Benjamin or you have gone too far!). When you see a bench on your left you can stop and rest a while.
From the bench walk 60 paces (I am small with short legs but I walked briskly) to the small bridge. Please cross the bridge and turn to the left immediately. Then begin your descent on this side (the other side may have a lot of vegetation growth at this time). It is on this side among the rocks where you'll find your treasure box.
Please take time to enjoy this park after you have enjoyed the letterbox. I do try to keep stamped addressed postcards in the box so please send me a card!

New beer of the day: Midnight Sessions Lager
Brewed by: Port Brewing Company
Beer drinkers all over Chicago land rejoiced when Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey hit the shelves here for the first time this past winter. If you haven't had the chance to try any of their products yet, you are seriously missing out on one of the premier American micro breweries. This brewery is interesting: They make beers under the Port Brewing name, and under the Lost Abbey name. Although The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing are separate projects, they were founded by the same owners and brewers. The Port Bottles are 22oz, while the Lost Abbey bottles are 750 ml The beers under the Port label are for the most part are American in style, while the Lost Abbey line is focused on the Belgian styles.
Midnight Sessions is the latest beer to hit shelves from Port Brewing, and was released a few weeks ago. It is a limited release, so get it while supplies last! If you are searching for this beer on any of the beer websites, you probably won't find it. This is because on this batch they changed the name of the beer from "Moonlit Sessions" to "Midnight Sessions."
"Schwarzbier" is German for "black beer," and Midnight Sessions fits perfectly into this category. I poured it up and my glass was full of pitch black liquid with a creamy coffee colored head. The beer smells like coffee and roasted malts, with a bit of a sweetness to go along. Midnight Sessions tastes of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts. It is medium bodied with a high drinkability. At 5% ABV and $5.99 a bomber, and just like the name of the beer implies, Midnight Sessions has potential to be a great session beer. The finish is bitter sweet and dry, just like any first-class beer of this style should be. This beer could contend with any Irish dry stout, and is a great pick up for St. Patrick's Day. Port Brewing and the Lost Abbey have yet to let me down, and Midnight Sessions is no exception.

Argentina field moisture has been completely restored following a serious winter drought, suggesting corn plantings may increase this season. If El Nino takes hold, the yield outlook would be considerably brighter than last year, when severe drought decimated the crop.
The USDA anticipates a 33% increase in Argentina corn production this season, 28 million metric tons compared to 21 MMT in last season's drought-ravaged harvest. This would allow for 18.5 million metric tons of corn for export, 6.7 MMT higher than 2011-12.

The pretension, therefore, of the Board of Health, that the cost of diphtheria antitoxin at the drug store was $12 per ounce, and therefore excessive, is absolutely without foundation. Please note that diphtheria antitoxin... is recognized all over the country as a standard product. Practically none has been sold for consumption in New York City itself owing to the competition of the Board of Health. But that does not alter the fact that our diphtheria antitoxin has always

Lovely antique book, The Complete Works Of Robert Burns, 1887 edition from the original 1884 printing, published by Thomas Y. Crowell Co, New York and, Boston. It is edited from the best printed and manuscript authorities, with glossarial index and a biographical memoir by Alexander Smith. It is bound in Dark Brown or faded black genuine leather with gold gilt "Burns" on the cover still bright and the same on the spine faded. There is wear especially on the spine with some separation on the lower and upper edges where the front meets the spine on the exterior, see photos, but the book still structurally sound if used with care, and a little glue will do wonders if one desired. The original owner name is written on the ffep, and dated 1899, she was actually a relative of a past Tennessee President and had a huge library of fine historical books and poetry. The book measures 7 & 1/2" by 5 & 1/4" and is 1 & 3/4" thick with shiny gold gilt outer page edges. The insides of both front and back covers have lovely lining papers of a black brown and gold floral. 636 pages, with minimal foxing and minimal age darkening, decent size print for reading as well. Not a perfect copy by any means, but considering the age we think quite nice.

Lem's latest: Provodnikov right at home versus Alvarado
Ruslan Provodnikov's mother traveled from Russia for what is both her first trip to the U.S. and the first time she will be ringside to watch her son as he battles Mike Alvarado on Saturday.
Ruslan Provodnikov's mother traveled from Russia for what is both her first trip to the U.S. and the first time she will be ringside to watch her son as he battles Mike Alvarado on Saturday.
Trainer Abel Sanchez said Gennady Golovkin "is the best middleweight ever besides Sugar Ray Robinson and maybe Bernard Hopkins."
Junior welterweight challenger Ruslan Provodnikov made an enthusiastic appearance at Wednesday's media day before this weekend's fight against WBO titleholder Mike Alvarado. Photos by Chris Farina-Top Rank.
WBO junior welerweight titleholder Mike Alvarado and challenger Ruslan Provodnikov are set to wage a fight-of-the-year-caliber battle on HBO on Saturday night. Or are they? Alvarado believes he can box Provodnikov if need be?
Ruslan Provodnikov on the notion that Mike Alvarado can box him: "If I made Timothy Bradley fight me, then I don't see anybody else being able to run away and box me."
WBO welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley: "I feel that I'm finally going to get my just due. I feel that I am finally one of the best fighters in the world."
On Tuesday night, ESPN will air 'No Mas,' a documentary dealing with the second of three fights between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran, which ended with a frustrated Duran apparently quitting in the eighth round.
Former titleholder Antonio Tarver will return from what will have been a 17-month ring absence against Mike Sheppard on Nov. 26.
HBO commentator Jim Lampley said of Saturday's junior welterweight matchup between Mike Alvarado and Ruslan Provodnikov: "I expect both of them to be hurt at some time or another, but I expect the fight to go rounds."
Openly gay boxer Orlando Cruz on dealing with homophobia in boxing: "I'm in a sport that is very macho. Sometime in the ring, people would should gay slurs at me before I came out."
The rematch of last month's controversial unanimous-decision win for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. over Bryan Vera could be headed for Texas in February, according to Bob Arum.
Former lightweight titleholder Juan Diaz has signed with Top Rank and will face Juan Santiago on the Mike Alvarado-Ruslan Provodnikov card on Oct. 19.
Juan Manuel Marquez on why he chose to face Tim Bradley rather than a fifth fight with Manny Pacquiao: "Everybody knows what happened in the last three fights with Manny, and I think that the chapter is closed."
Juan Manuel Marquez is proud to have Julio Cesar Chavez's support going into his showdown with Tim Bradley on Saturday. Says Marquez, "If I can get him in trouble, I think I can finish him."
Miguel Cotto's third-round stoppage of Delvin Rodriguez ranks as the highest drawing cable fight of 2013 so far.
WBO welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley says that he'll use his head and to "stay smart" against Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday.
Ruslan Provodnikov: "During the Face Off, at least to me, I can't say that this is the case for sure, but at least to me, it looked like Mike Alvarado wasn't very confident."
RING featherweight champion Mikey Garcia will be featured on HBO's 2 Days in advance of his fight with WBO junior lightweight titleholder Ramon "Rocky" Martinez.
Ruslan Provodnikov said of his upcoming fight with Mike Alvarado, "It's not going to be about technique. Simply war. It's just going to be a street fight. I promise you that."
Former junior middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez: "I have a contract with Golden Boy Promotions with which I am very happy."

They Just Don't Get It
Ok Guys,
I was reading the message board and someone brought to my attention what was in print under my picture in this TIME thing. Now, I didn't notice it cause I don't read stuff about me Good or Bad because most of the time it's wrong and negative and because most of these "Mainstream" folks don't get it. So, what's the point? But after a board member left this message saying how upset she was, I read it and it says, " You might not recognize him out of his Granny Drag, and detractors dismiss his movies."
That's why I don't read this stuff cause that annoyed me. It's crazy to me how you can have millions of people stand with you and appreciate you for what you do but if "MAINSTREAM" (and you know what I'm talking about)doesn't recognize you then you're somehow not valid to them. As well as if you do things outside of the system then you're not credible. It's just ridiculous.
I don't need to be on this list to know that what I do matters to so many of you as well as myself. What I've tried to do with my life and my work is uplift a people that this world and MAINSTREAM doesn't care anything about. They can say what they want as long as you know that my heart is into inspiring and motivating us all to be or want to be better human beings.
I also got a few emails saying that some people don't understand how the vote works. Here's how I think it works. It's not about the vote. It's about the influence. So, before you hit the button that says submit, right below my name there is a RED line that you need to move over, it starts at 50 but you can move it to 100 if you like and then press submit.
I'm not going to bother you with this foolishness again but I just got a little annoyed when I read that. People just don't get it. Can you show them how many people know me? TYLER a 38 year old man, Outside of the "Granny DRAG." Let me breathe....
So, if you haven't voted or even if you have it's pretty quick and easy.
Thanks! I'm done with this.
Yo Boy,

Home › Basketball Drills › Offensive Drills › Attacking the Defender - 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 Drills
Basketball Drills - Attacking the Defender - 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 DrillsFrom the Coach's Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net
1-on-1 DrillWe use this drill as both an offensive and defensive drill. Defenders try to stop the offense 1-on-1. The offensive player attacks and tries to beat his/her man 1-on-1. In this drill, each player has a partner (opponent) that he/she goes 1-on-1 against. Each pair has a ball. Use both ends of the court.
The player with the ball starts at the top of the key and tries to make a move, or shoot the outside shot and score on the defender. The defender must stop the offense, box-out and get the rebound. The offense gets a point for (1) each basket made, (2) for each offensive rebound and (3) if the defender fouls. No second shots are allowed.
Each pair keeps track of their score. Have post players paired up with post players, and guards paired up with guards. Play to 5 (each player gets five offensive attempts). At the end, the losers do 5-10 push-ups.
After a pair has finished their duel, they get in line on the other end of the floor, but switch offense and defense for the next possession.
1-on-1 Drill #2This drills works both offense and defense, ball-handling, dribbling, scoring, defense, conditioning and toughness. See the diagrams below.
In diagram A, we begin with offense-defense 1-on-1 starting on the sideline. The offensive player O1 tries to dribble around the defender to the opposite sideline in 5 seconds or less. Players must stay within the blue-line/half-court line area.
If O1 successfully reaches the opposite side within 5 seconds, then both players go to the second part of the drill. If the defender contains O1 within 5 seconds, the defense wins, the drill is done, and the next two players start.
If O1 reaches the sideline within 5 seconds, the second part of the drill starts (diagram B). X1 sprints to the rim and then closes-out out towards the top of the key. O1 speed dribbles around the cone at half-court, and then attacks the defender 1-on-1, making a dribble move and attempting to score. X1 tries to stop the move, blocks-out and rebounds, and the drill is finished.
Break your team into groups of 3, 4 or more players. You can score each set by either made baskets or defensive stops, or both. Losers either run or do push-ups.
2-on-1 DrillThis offensive drill helps players read the defense in a 2 on 1 situation, and helps them to learn when to take it to the hoop or pass off to their teammate.
Make two lines, one with perimeter players out at half court on the left sideline. The other line is made up of your post players, and is opposite along the right baseline. There is a token defender (maybe a manager or an assistant) on the guards. One of your post players is the other defender in the paint area and will try to stop the 2 on 1 break.
The Drill:
Player #1 has the ball, makes a fake or jab step, and goes around the token defender. He/she then dribbles toward the hoop, and tries to exploit the 2-on-1 situation with the defender. The first player in the post line along the baseline is his/her teammate. The guard has to decide whether to take it to the hoop, stop and pop a jumper, or pass off to his/her teammate.
He/she should try to get the defender to commit. If the defender comes up, he/she should pass to the post player. The post player should maintain proper spacing and take it strong to the hoop and lay it in off the glass (or slam dunk it). If the defender lays back, the guard should take it to the hoop. In this drill, discourage the outside jumper. The offense should try to get a lay-up every time.
The rotation is that #1 now starts a new line on the right sideline (see the diagram). #2 starts a new post line along the left baseline. Use the same defender until all the post players have been on offense, then use another post player as the defender.

Jay Wright: Attacking Footwork Drills for Perimeter Players
with Jay Wright, Villanova University Head Men's Basketball Coach, NCAA "Sweet 16" (2005), Philadelphia Big Five Eastern College Coach of the Year.
Jay Wright's unique ability to teach proper fundamentals and footwork is key to the national success of his Villanova program. All of his players, regardless of their position, use the skills they learn in practice to gain an edge over powerful opponents in the Big East. Wright defines four major scoring areas on the floor: wing, prime time (block), mid-post (off block), and slot (high post) positions. Because his players come from different backgrounds and systems, his ability to instill solid footwork into all his players is impressive. His motto is that "Players must be comfortable on either foot" so his workouts focus on pivoting on both the inside and the outside foot from both sides of the floor and why both are important. Wright demonstrates his Jab Series which creates potent scoring options from anywhere on the floor. Taught with or without the use of a screen, this series forms the bedrock for perimeter effectiveness at Villanova. A compliment to the Jab Series is the Swing Series that incorporates the reverse pivot, bully move and two-footed hop jumpers. Jay Wright's instruction will greatly enhance your team's ability to attack on offense and score more points... (more info)

Reports say the fee for Yedlin is $4 million (£2.4m) and Tottenham confirmed he will stay with Seattle on loan until the end of the MLS season before joining up with them ahead of the 2015/16 season.
Yedlin has signed a four-year contract with Spurs.
Yedlin was a surprise inclusion in Jurgen Klinsmann's USA World Cup squad but impressed with some energetic displays off the bench.
The 21-year-old has been linked with AS Roma since the World Cup finished but Tottenham have now won the race for his services.
Tottenham confirm the news
"I'm very excited to come to the Premier League and challenge myself against some of the best players in the world," he said.
"The facilities are the best in Europe, if not the world. It's a great team. I'm very excited. It's a great team with a new coach and a style that suits the way I play. That's a big reason I made the decision.
"I've talked to Jurgen Kilnsmann a lot about this move and he supports it, which was one of the big reasons behind the decision."
Capped seven times by the USA, Yedlin became the first rookie to play in the MLS All-Star for 10 years last season, a feat he repeated this campaign.

Andy Moran returns to Mayo team to face London in Connacht final
Updated: Saturday, 20 Jul 2013 16:22 | Comments

Andy Moran will feature for Mayo in Sunday's Connacht football final as he prepares for his first competitive start for the county since injuring his cruciate ligament last year.
Moran is included at corner-forward on James Horan's team against surprise finalists London. Mayo are seeking to win their third Connacht title on the trot

Frank Esposito is one of three top executives who have departed recently from the management team at Global Motorsport Group (GMG), Dealernews has learned. Esposito, who joined Global as president in August 2002, was released from the Morgan Hill, Calif., distributor April 21, apparently as part of a corporate reorganization by the company's new owners.
GMG was purchased in March by Dae-Il USA, a subsidiary of Dae-Il Corp., the Korean company that produces GMG's RevTech engines, transmissions and clutches. The relationship between the companies stretches back to 1982. GMG was sold by Cerberus Capital Management LP, a New York-based international investment group. GMG was going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization at the time the sale was completed. The sale included all GMG U.S. operations, including its Custom Chrome, Motorcycle Stuff, and Jammer divisions, as well as its Custom Chrome Europe operations.
Esposito told Dealernews that he was terminated without notice for economic reasons and then escorted from the building immediately after the announcement. Esposito was told that his position was eliminated, said Esposito. Global CEO Nace Panzica is taking on the title of president, according to Esposito.
Panzica, one of the original founders of Custom Chrome, was not immediately available for comment; however, Steve Veltri, VP of sales and marketing at GMG, says Esposito was terminated due to a "duplication of responsibilities. With the addition of new and some existing employees/personnel, Frank's role as president of Custom Chrome would have been redundant," Veltri said.
Two other executives resigned from GMG within days of Esposito's departure. Maureen Shilling resigned as CFO of GMG, and John Alden resigned as the company's director of supply chain. Alden said changes under the new management caused him to leave the company. "It was not an environment I wanted to stay in," he said. "If Frank stayed, I would still be there. Under Frank's leadership, we had done a good job of turning around the company."
Veltri maintained that Alden's resignation "did not appear to be linked" to Esposito's departure. Regarding Shilling, Veltri said she left for "personal reasons" and decided to leave GMG "well before Frank was terminated."
Shilling confirmed that she gave her notice in March shortly after the sale and left the company May 2. She joined the company in February 2007.
While Shilling's departure was not linked directly to Esposito's departure, she said the two shared many of the same feelings about the new management team. "I knew two weeks after the sale that the culture would be different, and that I wouldn't fit in," she said. "It was clear to both Frank and I that it wouldn't work. But that's not unusual — it is a difficult place for management, following the sale of a business."
Shilling, who said she is taking the summer off, said the previous management team was close-knit group and was making strides toward turning the company around. "It's a success story," she said. "The employees still have jobs, and there is still a Custom Chrome; it's just under different management."
Esposito's sudden termination evidently came as a surprise. "I had been told, and continued to believe, that I would be part of the ongoing management of the company," he said.
GMG has struggled with inventory and cash shortages for many years, but Esposito this week still claimed those problems could be overcome. "The company can be rebuilt," he asserted, "but it won?t be easy. It can be done, but it would take another $10 million at least, over and above paying down vendors and over and above the purchase price." The increased investment required, according to Esposito, would be primarily needed to build up the company's inventory.

The National Guard Border Bowl is a non-profit organization established to promote high school football in Kentucky and Tennessee. The objective is to provide an ALL-STAR game featuring the top players in Kentucky and Tennessee.
This game allows players to have one more opportunity to play, practice and battle it out for the rights to the border. It also allows high school seniors to gain additional exposure and perhaps earn a scholarship for college.
This year the game will be played on Saturday, January 7th with kick-off at 12:30 PM at James H. Taylor, II Stadium in Williamsburg, Ky., home of the University of the Cumberlands Patriots. The game will also air on WYMT-TV.
Each player must be nominated by a coach. All player profiles are reviewed by a panel of coaches from their home state. It is estimated that over 200 profiles are reviewed for the game whose major sponsors are the National Guard from each state.
Players selected for the 2012 Border Bowl will be treated as ALL-STARS from the time they check into camp until they leave for home. Each player will receive a personalized jersey, food and lodging for the entire time at camp, insurance for all activities, a sweat suit, t-shirt(s), honors banquet ticket, and the opportunity to meet numerous former NFL, CFL, and NCAA coaches. The players will also receive a Border Bowl ring for being selected to participate in the 2012 Border Bowl.
The players will check in at the Super 8 Motel in Williamsburg, KY on Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 and will go through six practices on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in preparation for the game. They will also attend an honors banquet Friday evening with Master of Ceremonies Larry Vaught. This year's keynote speaker for the 2012 Border Bowl Banquet will be Scott Galyon, a former NFL linebacker and recent inductee to the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.
Attendance at the 2011 Border Bowl held at the University of the Cumberlands James H. Taylor, II Stadium, in Williamsburg, Kentucky exceeded 4,000, including more than 20 colleges. The 2012 Border Bowl Committee is hoping to increase the attendance to this year's game with added activities and events for the fans. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for all students. In addition, all military and their family members will receive free admission to the game.

SEBRING - For the 10th year in a row, Sebring will host an annual exposition that year after year seems to grow and really take off.
The U.S. Sport Aviation Expo is celebrating its 10th anniversary of flying, food, fun and international aviation forums and speakers. Held today through Sunday at the Sebring Regional Airport, this year a total of about 130 light-sport and home-built aircraft and equipment associated with them will be on display, said Expo Director Jana Filip.
The expo runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today to Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The 2014 expo theme is "Home-built and Kit-buiilders."
"We welcomed more than 17,500 visitors to our event last year. This year, we've organized an even more interesting program of activities and we look forward to welcoming (visitors) to our 10th annual aviation celebration," she said. "I'm not sure people realize there will be about 20,000 people related to this event in Highlands County over the course of the four days. It will be great."
There are a few firsts at this year's expo, said Filip. A "hands-on" workshop will be held along with about 35 educational forums. At 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day, Stewart Aircraft Covering Systems of Cashmere, Wash., will hold hands-on workshops on aircraft covering including fabric, metal and wood finishing and paint.
"I think this is exciting because it helps enable people to build their aircrafts and the more hands-on experience, the better for them," said Filip.
For the first time, the expo events and forums will be streamed live via Internet, giving everyone access to the event whether they personally visit or not. The live stream can be found at www.liveATC.net/exporadio.
Filip said another slight change would be "enhanced" manufacturer hour-long showcases at 10:30 a.m., which will feature aircraft and live flight demonstrations. People considering purchasing an aircraft can also arrange for demonstration flights throughout the weekend.
As regularly done, local pilots of home-built aircraft can fly their aircraft to the event for display. A special home-built parking area as well as an area for under-the-wing camping has been set aside.
Tom Peghiny, a pilot and representative of Expo sponsor ultra-light aircraft company Flight Design CT of Woodstock, Conn., said he's attended the expo since its inception. He said his company will have three aircraft on display and the event is a great way for owners, pilots and just anyone interested in aviation to showcase products, learn about the latest in aviation and have "great fun."
"It's a great place to show your products; it's very product-oriented. It's a great place to fly in and see all the neat little airplanes," said Peghiny, attending the expo with his wife, Natasha.
During event forums, beginning flyers and expert pilots can get valuable tips. In addition, they can learn about the No. 1 killer of pilots and how to prevent it; how the Recreational Aviation Foundation is promoting flying for fun and what it takes to be a sport pilot, which requires just a valid driver license and medical fitness.
Other highlights include:
Food vendors serving barbecue and other food and beverages, with entertainment by the Flying Musician's Association from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily in the Show Center Tent.
At 1:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, guest speakers will discuss aviation past and present in the Show Center Tent. Thursday, EAA Homebuilding Community Manager Charlie Becker will discuss how home-building saved general aviation. Friday, Craig Fuller, chairman of the board for Redbird Flight Simulations and former president of the Aircraft Owner's and Pilot's Association, will discuss the future of light-sport aircraft.
Saturday, Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Leo R. Gray, who flew 15 combat missions over Europe during World War II and remained with the U.S. Air Force until 1984, will share stories of his experiences before, during and after the war.
Kimble McKay, Bob Wood and Ron Owen started the aviation expo in 2004 to develop an economic engine for the area and in particular the airport and the aircraft industry.
Daily admission is $20; $15 when tickets are purchased online. For information, see www.sport-aviation-expo.com.

The Trucker News Services
VAN BUREN, Ark. — USA Truck said Friday that it had terminated the employment of Darron R. Ming as the company's chief financial officer and executive vice president effective last Wednesday.
The company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that in connection with internal realignment of reporting, J. Rodney Mills, previously its general counsel, chief administrative officer and executive vice president, is now serving as general counsel and vice president.
The move is one of several the carrier has announced this year as it seeks to reverse financial setbacks during 2012.
In a filing with the SEC on Dec. 16, the carrier said it had appointed Thomas Glaser as interim chief operating officer effective Jan. 1 for an initial term of three months.
Glaser, 62, has 24 years of experience as a senior executive in the transportation industry. He has worked as an independent consultant to the truckload industry since 2010.
Glaser served as president and chief executive officer of Arnold Transportation Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Xpress Enterprises from July 2008 to March 2010, as well as a board member of Priority Transportation Inc. from February 2008 to June 2010. Previously, Glaser held several positions at Celadon Group from April 2001 to August 2007, most recently serving as president and COO.
Glaser holds a business administration degree from the University of Michigan.
USA Truck reported a 2.3 percent decline in third quarter revenue, a loss of $6.1 million. The company reported $14.4 million in losses during the first nine months of the year.
Ming's biographical information had been removed from the company's website Monday, but according to zoominfo.com Ming joined USA Truck in 1997 as a staff accountant.
He briefly held accounting positions at Beverly Enterprises and Sparks Medical Foundation in Fort Smith, Ark., before returning to USA Truck in 2000 as accounting Manager.
Before assuming the role of chief financial officer and executive vice president in July 2011, Ming served as vice president of finance (2005-11), controller (2001-07) and treasurer (2007-09).
Last November the company announced changes to its board and made other steps designed to prevent a hostile takeover.
Those changes included naming Robert A. Peiser as chairman of the board.
He succeeded Terry A. Elliott, who will remain on the board and continue in his present position of chairman of the audit committee.
In addition, the company announced that Robert E. Creager had been appointed to the board.
The company said in a news release in November that the changes were taken "as part of the company's efforts to support management's plan to turn around the company's performance and return it to profitability.
The announcement came only days after the carrier reported its third-quarter net loss.
It was the company's biggest quarterly loss ever.
"Our board and management have been working together closely for the past few quarters to design and set in motion a plan to bring material improvements to our operating results," President and CEO Cliff Beckham said. "We have made substantial progress on the capital resources front, closing in August a new $125 million credit facility that does not include financial covenants."
In 2011, trucking company Celadon Group announced it had bought 6.3 percent of USA Truck.
Celadon said in a regulatory filing that it had asked to meet with USA Truck's managers about combining the two companies.
At that time USA Truck issued a statement saying "The views of our stockholders are very important to us and we carefully consider their input." The company's board will consider the Celadon filing "in due course," the company said.
Paul Will, president and CEO of Celadon, said Monday that no meeting ever took place and that Celadon no longer owned the USA Truck stock.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Oil prices found little momentum Wednesday, even amid more signs of an improving U.S. economy.
Benchmark oil for April delivery rose 22 cents to $92.85 a barrel in afternoon trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was down from a high of $93.37, reached after another positive report on housing and government data showing U.S. oil supplies rose less than expected last week.
The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in January from December to the highest level in almost three years. The National Association of Realtors' index for pending home sales rose 4.5 percent to the highest point since April 2010. The report boosted to U.S. stock markets, and the major indexes were up about 1 percent in afternoon trading.
Crude inventories increased by 1.1 million barrels, or 0.3 percent, to 377.5 million barrels, according to the weekly report from the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration. That was less than half the increase expected by analysts.
Still, supplies are 9.5 percent above year-ago levels, which likely kept traders' enthusiasm to buy in check.
Brent crude, used to price many kinds of oil imported by U.S. refineries, dipped 45 cents to $112.26 on the ICE Futures exchange In London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline was down 4 cents at $3.15 a gallon.
— Heating oil fell 2 cents to $3.00 a gallon.
— Natural gas rose 6 cents to $3.56 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Plus, we are bringing new business to Richmond with the I-70 Billboard Campaign and Attraction Maps. We have all been working together to bring new jobs to Richmond . A few years ago the streets were bare, but now the District needs more parking. This is a wonderful problem to have, and now we can help bring more people into the Historic Downtown Depot District with the addition of a Public Parking lot at the S.E. corner of N. 8th and N."D" St.
We can also bring the Model T Museum to Richmond! The current Model T Museum is being torn down to make room for an expansion at Warm Glow Candle Outlet and they want their new home to be in the Depot District. The Model T Association is a not-for-profit organization. They hosted the largest event ever held in Wayne County: The Model T Party and Parade. Jay and Barb Klehfoth showed us what can be done when a community works together. We can really make things happen. It is our turn to help them. Other communities want the museum to move to their state. We have an opportunity to bring a NATIONAL ATTRACTION to Richmond that will bring in more tourists, more business and create more jobs for our community. And just think of the charm of Model T's driving daily on our streets!

Taking your first question, the way I do this on my own private network
smbmount //host/share /mountpoint -o username=user%pass,uid=nnn,gid=nnn
- for uid=nnn, nnn is the user-number the shared files should have when
I access them
- you can guess what gid=nnn does
- Using the user%pass option is a security hole if someone else can do
a 'ps' command on that host. Leave it off and enter it separately
If this does not work then you need to start looking at error messages
and the logs on the server for rejected access attempts.
Btw, you say that it does not work but you do not say what form this
'not working' takes.
I'll pass on your second question because I have never felt the need to
do this and because it was non-trivial last time I looked. I use SuSE
and know that they have some mechanism to make this work, but another
distribution may have a different method or may not have addressed the
problem at all. Simply mounting the share via /etc/fstab will probably
not work because networking is not up when fstab is processed (that
applies to nfs as well, but there is a standard mechanism for fixing
that problem). Some form of automounting may work but I have never
investigated it.

Determinants of mallard and gadwall nesting on constructed islands in North Dakota
Journal of Wildlife Management
- By:
- T.L. Shaffer, A.L. Dahl, R.E. Reynolds, K.L. Baer, M.A. Johnson, and G.A. Sargeant
- Document: Document (pdf)

AbstractConstructed islands with adequate nesting cover provide secure nesting sites for ducks because islands restrict access by mammalian predators. These islands are costly to construct and should be placed in areas that ensure the greatest use by nesting ducks. We studied mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and gadwall (A. strepera) nesting on constructed islands in North Dakota in 1996 and 1997 to evaluate factors--particularly amount of perennial grass cover in the surrounding landscape and density of breeding pairs--that possibly influence numbers of initiated nests. We also examined effects of island characteristics, such as island vegetation, on numbers of nests. Numbers of mallard and gadwall nests on islands were negatively related to amounts of perennial grass cover in the surrounding uplands. Numbers of mallard nests were positively related to percentages of tall dense cover on islands. We found no effects of breeding-pair density on numbers of nests initiated by either species, possibly because breeding pairs were abundant on all study sites. Percent shrub cover on islands was a better predictor of island use than was percent tall dense cover. Island use by these species increased with island age and distance from mainland shore. Amounts of perennial cover in landscapes should be primary considerations in determining where to build islands. Our data suggest that use of islands by nesting mallards and gadwalls is greatest in landscapes with little perennial grass cover (i.e., high amounts of cropland). Other researchers documented a positive relation between nest success in upland covers and amount of perennial grass cover in the landscape. Therefore, islands constructed in landscapes with little perennial cover should provide greater gains in duck recruitment rates than islands constructed in landscapes with greater amounts of perennial grass cover.

Marvel's Infinite Comics Go Weekly Starting with WOLVERINE
Teased late last month with an image reading "Count on Marvel," Wolverine: Japan's Most Wanted starts on July 9, a little more than two weeks before the release of the Japan-set The Wolverine feature film. The story, the first of four 13-chapter weekly Infinite Comics set to debut, is co-written by Wolverine and the X-Men's Jason Aaron and Winter Soldier's Jason Latour, illustrated by Paco Diaz and with storyboards by digital comics pioneer Yves Bigerel.
Naturally, part of the goal with Infinite Comics is to expand beyond traditional comic book audiences, simply by providing a different experience and exposure to consumers who may not traditional comic book store customers. But that doesn't mean these stories won't have relevance to current fans, according to Alonso.
Given that Infinite Comics are still in the early stages, those involved say the new material will continue to evolve what the format can do, and how it can be used to tell a story.
"This weekly series is the main event in digital comics," Marvel senior editor Nick Lowe said. "We're firing on all cylinders and will set a new bar."
"This is not the same old Wolverine in Japan story," Aaron said. "Jason and I both want to take that stuff and drag it into the future, and do very new takes on the Hand, and ninjas, and all that familiar stuff. How many times can you see Wolverine fighting the same sort of dudes in ninja costumes? iI's 2013. At what point does The Hand realize, 'The way we typically do things is not really working.'"
"To start thinking about the next stage has an inhibiting effect on the creators," Alonso said. "Right now we want them to think the sky's the limit; 'What can I do with this media?' Not with something that can later be converted to a comic book page."Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!
