Craig Custance (1:04 PM)
Hey everyone - just finished up the #AskInsider chat live from the Board of Governors here in Monterey and ready to dive into our regular weekly talk. Let's jump right in.
Alex (Anaheim)
Am I crazy to think that Corey Perry sometimes gets underrated?
Craig Custance (1:06 PM)
Maybe. Hard to say a Hart Trophy winner is underrated but a group of us were watching the Ducks game here after the BOG meeting and were blown away by that goal he scored last night. I think the Ducks as a whole have been underrated this year. Despite all the injuries, they continues to find ways to win. They don't get enough credit.
Keith (NYC)
Craig, I hate to say this, but it might be time to eliminate fighting and really pare down/eliminate the hitting and transition to a more European-style of play. Guys are just too big, fast and valuable today. Careers/lives are being potentially ruined due to concussions...
Craig Custance (1:09 PM)
It's a fine line. I want fighting out but I still want to see hitting and physical play in hockey. The game has changed dramatically - guys are huge, fast and equipment is bigger and harder. Players need to be protected and I think there are still rule changes to be made that can do a better job of it. But if you're going to get rid of the players ability to police themselves, the league has to be stronger in punishing those who cross the line.
Dom (Brooklyn, NY )
Hey Craig? With the news about next years salary cap going up...Do you see the Pens adding another winger before the deadline?
Craig Custance (1:11 PM)
Talked with a couple GMs yesterday on how the rising cap impacts teams. The big change will be this summer when teams are putting together their roster for next year. Rising cap for next year doesn't necessarily help those up against it in the short term. That said, Ray Shero is always one of the most aggressive GMS at the deadline and I don't imagine this year will be any different.
Drew (Indy)
Orpiks check was legal...Ericsson touched the puck right as he was hit (although he did not have control). Orpik did not fight Thornton because he can't afford to be in the box for 5 mins. The engelland and lucic fight should have ended it. But, Neal doesn't avoid Marchand right in front of Boston's bench and Thornton loses his head and puts what was a great game the other night under a dark cloud. Both sides lost their cool last night and the end results were not what hockey is all about. We should showcase skill, speed and teamwork instead of vigilante justice and reckless/classless displays as we saw from Neal and Thornton. Shameful.
Craig Custance (1:13 PM)
It was interesting to hear execs talking about the situation. There are still plenty of people in the game who think Orpik should have fought Thornton, despite it being a clean hit. Also, not everyone thinks it was clean. The argument is that Orpik could have ended everything right there by fighting and he could have done it in a way where he isn't exposing himself to injury. I don't necessarily agree but that's the mindset.
Jason (St. Louis, MO)
Craig-who do you see as the favorite for gold at the Olympics? I think the U.S. has a very good shot if the goaltending holds. Very good production on the wings bodes well for scoring and the defense will as a whole skate and move the puck very well.
Craig Custance (1:16 PM)
To me, U.S. hopes hinge completely on Quick. If he plays like he has the last two postseasons, they're in the mix. My favorite and pick for gold is Sweden. Lundqvist in goal. Defense is loaded with OEL, Kronwall, etc. Up front you have the Sedins, Zetterberg, Steen - plus I like the European teams on the big ice. Swedes will be tough to beat.
Ben (San Jose)
Was Orpik's hit on Eriksson a good hockey hit? Watching replays I didn't see anything wrong with it. It was a hard hit but there didn't seem to be anything malicious to it. Neal on the other hand...that was one of the nastiest plays I've seen.
Craig Custance (1:17 PM)
I agree on the Orpik hit and have been surprised by the backlash I'm hearing on it. Neal was ugly, I would have been fine with him getting more than five games. Helps that Marchand wasn't hurt. Could have been worse for Neal. Maybe should have been.
Ed (Queens Village)
Isles are in free fall at what point does Capuano get fired?
Craig Custance (1:19 PM)
Problem is bigger than the coach but something needs to be done there. Heading to SJ tonight to see the game and looking forward to seeing them live. It's been a brutal stretch for a group that looked capable of making strides this season. Vanek trade hasn't paid off and goaltending still an issue.
Tyler (Louisville, KY)
The Avs are in the 8 spot but they are a few games behind everyone else as far as games played... How do you think they'll end up?
Craig Custance (1:20 PM)
Good young talent there and like what Roy and Sakic are doing but think at the end of the day Colorado is on the outside looking in. Issues on defense and the West is just too tough. Put Colorado in the East and it's a different story.
ted (cape cod)
I really doubt banning fighting would put a stop to dirty cheap shots.
Craig Custance (1:22 PM)
Ted - You're right. And a ban on fighting wouldn't put an end to fighting. You'd still see it, like you do bench clearing brawls in baseball. But if you're seriously trying to cut down on concussions, I'm not sure how you continue allow fighting. I think the threat of litigation may be the biggest reason for change there.
Colin (Chicago)
Loved your Kane/Toews interview. 8 Million for 8 years sure seems like a solid deal for both sides this summer. Think that could be reality? Any chance they take less to keep the deal together longer?
Craig Custance (1:24 PM)
Thanks Colin, really appreciate it. Those two guys were great for that, they told some stories I hadn't heard. With the rising salary cap, I don't think they need to take less than $8 million to keep the group together. Considering their age, I don't know how you do anything less than $8 million per season for max term.
Ben (San Jose)
Seems that Havlat's time has ended in San Jose after this last stretch. Can they offload him before the deadline (assuming they eat some of his salary)?
Craig Custance (1:24 PM)
I think he's all but immovable.
Matt (Steinway)
The Avs seem to have settled in to .500 play as of late. Is that indicative of their true talent? Do they still need a defenseman? As good as MacKinnon has played, I can't help but think where this team would be with Seth Jones in his stead.
Craig Custance (1:27 PM)
Hey Matt - Yeah, I think it's fair that they're settling into what you'd expect. The beauty of their strong start is that it'll keep them in the playoff hunt the rest of the season. I don't fault Colorado at all for taking the franchise center at No. 1, even as good as Jones would look in Colorado. To me, the bigger question is with Tampa Bay. Jones would look pretty darn good on that Lightning defense right now.
Colin (Chicago)
Brandon Saad's gotta make the US squad, yeah?
Craig Custance (1:28 PM)
It's going to be tight. They love him but the Americans are so loaded on the wing. I think when the rosters are announced, we're going to be very surprised at some of the wingers who didn't make the team.
Brandon (Pittsburgh)
Thornton's actions were deliberate, vicious, and calculated. Julien kept sending him on the ice knowing that he was getting more aggressive towards Orpik. Neither Orpik's clean hit nor Neal's dirty hit justify what Thornton did. Time for the NHL to crackdown hard. Do you see them doing that or punting? Anything less than 20 games for Thornton is a joke in my opinion. I'd ban him for the rest of the season + the playoffs, and fine the Bruins and Julien as well.
Craig Custance (1:29 PM)
Brandon - I see a big punishment coming. Maybe not what Penguins fans want but I'd set the over/under somewhere around 15 games. To Thornton's credit, he realizes what he did was wrong. Still doesn't excuse it though.
mike (phoenix)
Talk of an outdoor game here in Phoenix is intriguing. Does the league really think doing a game that coincides with the Super Bowl is a good idea? How do you think the NFL would react?
Craig Custance (1:31 PM)
I think they like the idea of cashing in on some of the buzz and media attention that comes with the Super Bowl. I certainly don't think the NFL would be threatened by it. I know Phoenix is very interested in making this happen as are most teams that haven't had an outdoor game. I want to see how some of these Stadium Series games are attended this year before I get behind more outdoor games outside the Winter Classic for next year.
Dara (Boca, FL)
At the Board of Governors meetings, are they talking about getting rid of the horrid shootout. I CAN'T stand that part of the game. Hockey is a team sport and should not be determined by a few superstars (especially when you are a Panthers fan and have no one). I'd love to see 3 on 3's
Craig Custance (1:33 PM)
Dara - That's not on the agenda here. Overtime is something the GMs will debate in their spring meeting in Florida. I don't see the shootout going anywhere but I wouldn't be surprised to see OT expanded in some form before getting to the shootout. I like the idea of 3 on 3, but there are some GMs who think that is just as gimmicky as the shootout.
Keith (NYC)
I agree and maybe its a personal choice, but I like the finesse game better. Not sure I agree with the need for players policing themselves. Only sport where fighting is part of the game. How do I explain to my 4-year old daughter who sits and watches the game with me and loves to yell "goal" when two players start to fight?
Craig Custance (1:34 PM)
The appetite among hockey fans has completely shifted on this issue, especially in the United States. Many people just don't seem to have the stomach for that part of the game anymore, although proponents will say everybody in the stands leave their feet and cheer when a fight occurs.
Spencer (NYC)
Hi Craig, would it make sense for the blues to trade for Ryan Miller? Elliot has been atrocious in net and Halak has been questionable. It seems as though all they really need is a solid goalie and they can go as far as they want?
Craig Custance (1:35 PM)
Spencer - I'm firmly in the Blues should trade for Ryan Miller camp. They're right in the middle of their Stanley Cup window and you'd hate to see inconsistent goaltending sabotage it. Ryan Miller in Hitch's system, with that defense would be incredible.
Jon Hartman (Michigan)
What backup goalie will win away starting position by seasons end. Giguere, Raanta, Shrivens or someone else?
Craig Custance (1:37 PM)
Hey Jon - None of the guys you mentioned would be on my short-list of players who could steal the No. 1 job. My top candidate for that would be Robin Lehner in Ottawa. He's such a talent, it's going to be really hard for the Senators to keep him out of net.
Alisa (Anaheim)
What are Cam Fowler's chances of making Team USA?
Craig Custance (1:39 PM)
Cam's chances are pretty darn good right now. I wouldn't give him lock status but he's right in the middle of the discussion. One area to monitor when it comes to the Americans will be injuries on D to Orpik and Martin. To me, the fascinating debate on defense for Team USA revolves around guys like Keith Yandle and Byfuglien. Are you willing to put up with some defensive deficiencies for what they bring offensively?
Neal (Menlo Park)
Think the Wings are happy to be in the weaker Eastern Conference given their play of late?
Craig Custance (1:39 PM)
Absolutely. I'm not sure they're a playoff team in the West considering their injuries and inconsistent goaltending they're getting from Jimmy Howard.
Brandon (New York)
I'm curious when the Kane/Toews interview was conducted. Why did Toews say "If we have a chance to go" to Sochi? Just being humble or before NHL players were approved?
Craig Custance (1:40 PM)
Brandon - Yeah, that's just him being humble and not wanting to assume anything. Sat down with those two in mid-November.
Garrett (IL)
A co-worker brought up an interesting idea that if a player is suspended as a repeat offender (within the CBA designated guidelines) that his team must play one player short from their dressed roster for the duration of the suspension. Helps with the players who only play sometimes causing team harm and not just missing games they would have anyway being benched. More food for thought before doing something dangerous?
Craig Custance (1:41 PM)
Not sure either side would sign off on that idea but I like anything that makes people think twice about dirty hits. I think there should be more fines for teams and coaches.
Neal (Menlo Park)
Which player has surprised you the most this year by their play (good or bad)?
Craig Custance (1:42 PM)
The offensive production from Alexander Steen has been the biggest surprise for me. He's always been a player I've liked and he's a responsible two-way player who plays the game the right way. But I have to admit, I didn't see this coming.
Matt (Cohasset)
"But if you're seriously trying to cut down on concussions, I'm not sure how you continue allow fighting."What does fighting have to do with concussions? How many fights this year can you recall that ended up in a concussion (except for Parros' slip)?
Craig Custance (1:43 PM)
Matt - If I'm trying to cut down on concussions, which are caused by blows to the head, I'm eliminating the one area of the game where players are encouraged to hit each other in the head repeatedly.
Ben (San Jose)
Bright spot in the game right now: the play of Josh Harding. Guy battles MS and is putting up Vezina-worthy numbers up this year. I hope he sustains his play and gets the trophy this year. That would be an incredible feat for him.
Craig Custance (1:44 PM)
It's an unbelievable story and capping it with a Vezina would be unreal. He's certainly in the mix. Last night over pops, we were just debating that. Would put Carey Price and Fleury in that discussion as well.
Ryan (Montreal)
Is Carey Price the frontrunner for the Vezina? if you were starting a team today, factoring in age, Would Price be the first goalie you choose?
Craig Custance (1:46 PM)
Yeah, I'd put Carey Price at the top of my Vezina list. If I were starting a team and picking a goalie to be my long-term goalie, I'd still go Jonathan Quick over Price. He's still just 27 years old.
Bill (STL)
To Keith in NYC.... its a man's game baby. watch bubble guppies instead then ay.
Craig Custance (1:46 PM)
Haha. Bubble guppies.
Jeremy (Montreal)
Craig, Canada will have a loaded roster as always. Shouldn't they be the de facto favourite going into every olympic mens hockey tournament?
Craig Custance (1:47 PM)
If the game was being played in North America, for sure. I think the games being in Sochi hurts Canada slightly. That said, they're still an absolute powerhouse.
John (Boston)
Should I be worried about Eriksson and his 2nd Concussion in a month?? Or can i expect him back in regular form in a few weeks?
Craig Custance (1:48 PM)
You just never know. Every player reacts differently but I'd definitely be concerned over a player who has multiple concussions. One doctor explained it this way - each one is like bruising a banana. In his opinion, those bruises don't go away.
Tom (Chicago)
Craig, I don't think it's fighting that's the problem, it's the cause of some of these fights that's at issue. Over the last few years, it seems like any time there's a big hit, even when legal, it results in a fight starting. In the old days fights used to be about dirty tactics or hits, not hockey plays.
Craig Custance (1:50 PM)
I agree and there are players I've spoken with who feel strongly about that. They think it's ridiculous that guys have to answer the bell after a clean hit. But the goal of the guy fighting is to make the player think twice before lining up their teammate next time, even if it's clean.
Sean (Co)
Do you still like Nichushkin for the Calder this year, or is Hertle the clear favorite?
Craig Custance (1:52 PM)
Nichushkin was my preseason pick and a slow start from him doesn't help the cause. He's been really good lately so I'm not giving up hope that I could be right in this one. Krug, Hertl, Jones, Kreider are all guys in the mix. I wouldn't label anyone a clear favorite right now.
Garth Snow (Long Island)
Craig, when I made the Vanek trade everyone immediately assumed that I would try to re-sign Vanek and the Sabres would flip Moulsen again at the deadline for another first round pick. But seeing how things have played out, do you think I might be the one that flips Vanek again at the deadline to try to recoup some of the assets I originally gave up for him.
Craig Custance (1:53 PM)
If the Islanders are out of it and Vanek won't sign an extension, I think Snow has to trade Vanek. The optics won't be good though because I don't see how the return will be as strong as what he gave up.
Chris Kunitz (Pittsburgh, PA)
Craig, what do you think is more likely to happen regarding the Canadian Oympic team....I make it because of my experience producing with Crosby....or James Neal doesn't make it because of his inexperience producing without Malkin (current suspension not withstanding). If familiarity and consistency is truly as much of a priority as Team Canada execs say it is, wouldn't a Kunitz-Crosby-Neal line make sense? Everyone plays their natural position.
Craig Custance (1:54 PM)
I think Kunitz has a stronger Olympic case than Neal although both in the mix. Wonder if Neal has a better shot at LW for Team Canada.
Matt (Philly)
Read/Couturier/Downie is a beast line. The Flyers aren't dumb enough to trade one of them away right?
Craig Custance (1:55 PM)
That line has been great for Philly lately, although predicting what that organization will do next is impossible.
Craig Custance (1:55 PM)
Alright everyone, these meetings are close to breaking up. I have to run. See you next week!

Finally got a call stating they would be nice and allow me to take six months off from mortgage payments and put all that I owed to other end of mortgage. I was quite ill at that time and I said fine just to end it. Got the signed papers agreeing to do this and the foreclosure notice the same day. I couldn't believe it.
I then filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy because I couldn't trust them. This , however, has left me with problems meeting my taxes and with additional money on my mortgage that I have no Idea what it is. It also affected my ability to remortgage which I'd love to do though I now have some who is working with me and the bankruptcy has been dismissed two years. I think these corrupt mortgage companies need to be shut down and held liable for what they do to peoples lives.

Hurricane Sandy Victims 2013-2014
On February 12, 2013, the Ron Darling Foundation donated $15,000 in Bob's Discount Furniture gift certificates. The gift certificates went to families that had been severely affected by Hurricane Sandy. The Foundation raised this money back in December, when it held it's 3rd Annual Texas Hold'em and Casino Night at Leonard's of Great Neck in Long Island, NY. Bob's Discount Furniture subsequently matched this amount, bringing the total to $30,000. The gift certificate money was dispensed amongst ten families - five in Staten Island and five in the Rockaways - all of which were impacted by the devastated storm.
We are dedicated in making a difference with those with Diabetes

Jessie's Fund is a UK charity helping children with additional and complex needs to communicate and express themselves through the use of music. We work with children in hospices, special schools and in other settings nationwide, giving them access to music-making and to music therapy. See short video clips here.
Victoria Wood
Our late Patron
We are extremely sad at the loss of our wonderful Patron, who died at the age of 62 on 20th April 2016.
Victoria Wood was loved by millions for her comic genius, musicianship, as a writer and as an actor. She was also a thoroughly supportive and active Patron: when she agreed to join us in our early days, she said that she would want to be involved, and not just a figurehead. And she was true to her word, generous in every way to this small charity whose ethos she completely agreed with. She is irreplaceable and we will miss her enormously.

Chateau d'Orignac Pineau des Charentes
Sku: 15983
The colour is amber with golden tints, it has a powerful aromatic palete, with subtle hints of ripe yellow fruits like apricot, honey and raisins.
It is pleasantly sweet and refreshing and there is a great harmony between the grape flavours and Cognac aromas.
Intense, elegant and distinguished, this Pineau is the inimitable fusion of roundness and elegance, that makes it one of the most famous ambassadors of its appellation.
Always served chilled, the Pineau d'Orignac is a wonderful aperitif, it is also excellent with meals and desserts and very good with cheese too.

Emanuel College state that Rev Joseph Ashton Borough was not a fellow/student of the College, nor could they find any evidence that he was a chaplain there, although the newspaper report indicates that this was probably the case.
Probably the death JenB mentions of a Joseph Ashton Burrow in 1881 is him.
Thanks to both Brian and JenB for this lead.

Many thanks, JenB, for the information from the Cambridge University Alumni List ... possibly the archivist looked him up under Borough and not any name variants. What a wonderful wealth of information is given about this Rev Joseph ... if only he was mine!
I am now seriously thinking of looking for any possible deaths for the Rev between Dec 1891 and say 1910. I am also wondering about the possibility of Wills?

Hi patDen
The only will I can find which might be of interest is that of Robert Wilcock - Probate 23 April 1927
Wilcock Robert of 12 Belvoir street Derby died 13 Feb 1927 at the Boundary house Derby Probate Derby 23 April to Martha Emily widow
Also to let you know I have found a couple of mentions for a Horton House:-
1861 - RG9 3328 23 40 Town Horton Civil Parish Bradford
1871 - RG10 4471 20 34 Civil Parish Horton although I think this is in a different location of Horton.
1881 - RG11 4458 30 6 Civil Parish Horton
And just to add as a matter of interest Joseph Wilcock and family in 1871 RG10 4471 6 6 appear in Dist 12 of the Enumeration Dist the same Dist as the Horton House found in 1871 as above - if this is the correct Horton House Joseph Wilcock and family are not that far away and although he appears in 1881 in Barnsley with his family his daughter Alice in 1885 has married George Whike in Bradford so maybe he returned to the area and free bmd has deaths of:-
Hannah Wilcock Mar 1890 Bradford Y Vol 9b Pg 44
Joseph Wilcock June 1895 Bradford Y Vol 9b Pg 70

Hi Z
I cannot thank you enough for your input ... I am certainly starting to think outside the square! I did start to try and pick out some likely suspects re the death of various Joseph Ashtons, but was forced to abandon the search as being too broad especially as I know very little about where he was born and his date of birth etc.
Based on your earlier suggestion, I am now starting to wonder, if in fact, William Wilcock b. ~ 1856 Bradford YKS might be the son of Joseph Ashton and either Ann or her sister, Unknown Frankland. I realise that Ann was already married to Joseph Wilcock at the time of 'my' Thomas William's birth, but an affair could've occurred between Ann & Joseph and the result was William - who was reared by the Wilcock family. Similarly, Joseph could've had an affair with Ann's sister and for some reason, Ann & her husband agreed to rear William. And as suggested earlier, perhaps William did not take on the name of his father until he was joining the Merchant Navy. Certainly the name of Frankland is within the family. As my sister pointed out to me Thomas William's eldest son, Joseph William, named one of his sons, Frankland who was known as Frank.
By the 1881 Census, William Wilcock b. Bradford, son of Joseph Wilcock seems to have disappeared. There are two William Wilcocks listed b. Bradford but they are sons of a John Wilcock in both instances.
Thanks also Z for your interest in Horton House and locating it on the census. My sister has also been busy trying to find out about Horton House and has come up with the following:
The draft conservation assessment for Little Horton Lane has a map showing the location of Horton House and another publication, a book called "Rambles Round Horton" by William Cudworth, published in 1886 contains a wonderful drawing of the House and also contains the following references:
p.93" Horton House remained in the hands of the Fitzgeralds until a short time ago when it was disposed of by public auction." There is no mention of Joseph Ashton in the book.
p. 226 ".....the 'Ashton Dole' is a charity, the proceeds of which are derived from property left under the will of John Ashton in 1712 to be distributed 1/2 yearly among poor people of Horton above 60 years of age who are not in the receipt of Parish relief."
Back to the drawing board ... again many thanks

Hi patDEN
think we might be barking up the same tree - literally. My Dad (now in his mid eighties) has asked me to track his mother's (deceased - Thyrza Victoria Ashton) side of the family. Her father appears to have been Thomas William Ashton, known to the family as a river boat Captain before moving to WA as farmer. His father Joseph Ashton, mother unknown Frankland.
new to rootschat - only registered in attempt to have conversation with you.
what side of the family are you coming from? ie which sibling of Thomas William Ashton?
would like to link you up with my Dad and understand that we are unable to do that through this channel. not sure how to approach it any other way. Dad very keen to put the pieces together, whilst he still can.

Virginia Caps Unlikely Comeback Against Wake Forest With Buzzer-Beating Banked Three
Virginia might have pulled off the most unlikely win of the entire college basketball season Tuesday night. With just 22 seconds left in the game, Wake Forest had a seven point lead and possession of the ball. Just 22 seconds later they had lost, 72-71. Here is what the game's win probability graph looked like:

Fixing flood insurance
Published: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:01 a.m.
In recent weeks, GNO Inc. has organized a broad coalition of elected and business leaders to address drastic — and unintended — increases to National Flood Insurance Program rates for Louisiana home and business owners.
A confluence of the Biggert-Waters Act of 2012 (meant to stabilize NFIP), incomplete FEMA maps and questionable actuarial calculations has led to premium increases of up to 5,000 percent and more — for policyowners who have never flooded.
For example:
- A home in Belle Chasse will go from $633 to $28,544
- A home is St. Charles will go from $388 to $23,946
- A business in Slidell will go from $5,698 to $53,662
Again, these are for owners who built to FEMA code and have never flooded.
They have done nothing wrong.
If unchecked, the consequences for Louisiana are clear, and devastating.
Owners will not be able to afford insurance, homes will not be viable, and the ripple effect will shut down the economy.
Ironically, this would ultimately destroy NFIP itself as policyholders leave the unaffordable program in droves.
Clearly, this cannot stand.
The challenge, however, is not limited to Louisiana.
All 50 states in the U.S. participate in NFIP.
Louisiana, in fact, is only fifth in the country in terms of financial exposure to flooding, behind Florida, New York, New Jersey and Virginia.
So, the threat from runaway NFIP rates is to all of America.
The good news is that the response from our Louisiana congressional delegation has been swift
Significant credit is due to our elected officials in D.C. who have made this issue a top priority.
With their leadership in both the House and Senate, we are in a strong position to solve a problem that must be resolved, ensuring a sustainable, actuarially responsible NFIP — that does not eviscerate economies and owners.
GNO and local officials are now working with over 20 states on a national response as part of our new Coalition for Sustainable Insurance.
When we fix national flood insurance, it will be not only for Louisiana, but the nation as well.

Saturday, January 17, 2009. (AP) -- Jeff Teague scored 24 points and No. 2 Wake Forest set a school record with a 16-0 start, handing No. 10 Clemson its first loss of the season, 78-68 on Saturday.
The Demon Deacons (16-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) looked like they had this one in hand, leading 58-44 after L.D. Williams' 3-pointer with 9:32 left.
However, the Tigers (16-1, 2-1) used a 16-3 run over the next 5 minutes to pull within 61-60.
Teague rushed the ball up court on Wake's next possession, finding a sprinting Al-Farouq Aminu for a dunk. James Johnson followed with a free throw and two baskets and the Demon Deacons were on their way to surpassing the school mark for best start since 1926-27.
Johnson had 19 points, while Aminu, a freshman, had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Terrence Olgesby and K.C. Rivers both had 15 points for Clemson.

"Odoghan – Do you know any bands from Cordoba, Argentina? Well now you do! This four man unit sent in a rollicking punk and roll tune that really got my blood pumping. Great dual guitar work, and in your face melodic vocals. Lovely! Their other songs deviate almost 180 degrees from this style. Since they compare themselves to the Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and Coldplay I suppose that makes sense. Which song do you like the most?"

Nobel Peace Prize Winner to Speak at UAB
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Leymah Gbowee will give a lecture at the UAB Alys Stephens Center on Sept. 29 to mark the opening of the UAB Institute for Human Rights.
Leymah Gbowee (Photo credit: Michael Angelo for Wonderland)Liberian peace and women's rights activist Leymah Gbowee will give a lecture at theUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham on Thursday, Sept. 29. The free public event, which marks the opening of the UAB Institute for Human Rights, will take place at the UAB Alys Stephens Center located at 1200 10th Avenue South at 6 p.m.
Gbowee was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize for leading a nonviolent movement that brought together more than 3,000 women across ethnic and religious lines. Their efforts brought an end to the Second Liberian Civil War and ensured women's participation in elections. The historic achievement paved the way for the election of Africa's first female head of state, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who was also awarded a Nobel Prize in 2011.
"Leymah Gbowee is a role model for all of us who engage in human rights and peace work," said Tina Kempin Reuter, Ph.D., director of the UAB Institute for Human Rights. "Her activism for community building, peace, and women's rights in Liberia is unparalleled and serves as an example of remarkable leadership and successful grassroots efforts. She represents what the UAB Institute for Human Rights has set out to do: to raise awareness and to educate, to research and to find practical solutions for the promotion of human rights and sustainable peace."
Liberia's Second Civil War began in 1999. The war brought systematic rape and brutality against women to a country still recovering from the first civil war, which began in 1989 and ended in 1996. Gbowee mobilized an interreligious coalition of Christian and Muslim women and created the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace movement. Through her leadership, the women staged pray-ins, a sex strike, and nonviolent protests demanding reconciliation and the revival of high-level peace talks. The pressure pushed then-President Charles Taylor into exile. A peace agreement was later signed, ending the war on Aug. 18, 2003. The remarkable effort was chronicled in the documentary "Pray the Devil Back to Hell," which was named "Best Documentary" in the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival.
In 2006, Gbowee co-founded the Women Peace and Security Network Africa in Accra, Ghana. WIPSEN-A is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting women's strategic participation and leadership in peace and security governance. In 2012, she launched theGbowee Peace Foundation in Monrovia, Liberia, which provides educational and leadership development opportunities for women, girls and youth. She also serves on the board of directors of the Nobel Women's Initiative, the PeaceJam Foundation, and serves as a member of the African Women Leaders Network for Reproductive Health and Family Planning.
Since winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Gbowee travels around the world to speak about the devastating effects of war and gender-based violence. She has been featured on a number of international television programs, including on CNN, BBC and France24. She also speaks internationally as an advocate for the high-level inclusion of women in conflict-resolution.
Gbowee is a social worker and trauma counselor who works with ex-child soldiers. She is a single mother of six, and holds master's and doctor of law degrees in conflict transformations, specialty management and conflict resolution.
The UAB Institute for Human Rights is housed in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences. The institute was established in 2014 to serve as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration between scholars, educators, students and activists. Its mission is to raise awareness, engage in education, foster research and design initiatives for practical action, resulting in the promotion and protection of human and civil rights locally, nationally, and globally. Tina Reuter Kempin was named the institute's first director in February 2016.
One-night-only Exhibition Aug. 31 Features Works by UAB Art, Math Alumna
"Rachel M. Ejem: Intersections" features Ejem's recent research using mixed-media drawings and installation to investigate mathematical and metaphorical ideas of intersection.
Rachel Ejem, "Convergence"Works by recent University of Alabama at Birmingham Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate Rachel M. Ejem will be on exhibition for one night only Wednesday, Aug. 31.
Presented by the College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Art and Art History, the exhibition of installation and works on paper will take place in the UAB DAAH Project Space at 5 p.m.
The UAB DAAH Project Space is located on the ground floor of theHumanities Building, 900 13th St. South.
"Rachel M. Ejem: Intersections" features Ejem's recent research using mixed-media drawings and installation to investigate mathematical and metaphorical ideas of intersection.
"The intersection is a common notation in mathematics (the intersection point of two or more lines), but it also has a double meaning," Ejem said. "It is both inclusive and exclusive — intersections cut and divide by passing through or across, yet in geometry intersections hold one or more points in common."
Ejem, who graduated in 2016, is a native of Birmingham and holds Bachelor of Science, Master of Sciences and BFA degrees from UAB. She is both a mathematician and an artist and her mixed-media drawings bridge the gap between humanities and science. Ejem equates art to math, and by combining the fields Ejem creates visual solutions that suggest problem-solving methods alongside personal, visual narratives that touch universal themes of vulnerability and endurance, destruction and repair.
Project Space is an adaptive space that provides an alternative platform for UAB students, faculty and community to engage teaching, research, public service and visual art practices.
For questions, to schedule use of Project Space or to arrange a visit, contact Project Space director Jared Ragland email@example.com.
UAB Marching Blazers Ready to Perform at UAB Football Green and Gold Games, Rome World Peace Parade
The 200-member-strong band is rehearsing its show of hit soundtrack tunes, "Hollywood," for performances at UAB football games, exhibitions and parades.The University of Alabama at BirminghamMarching Blazers are training this week for a full schedule of performances this fall, topped with an invitation to perform in Rome.
The camp this week means nine- and 12-hour days of rehearsals and marching for the 200-member-strong, award-winning band in preparation for their fall 2016 show, "Hollywood." They will perform parts of the show at coming Blazer Football Green and Gold games to be played at the BBVA Compass Field, says Interim Director of Bands Gene Fambrough, DMA. There are not additional scheduled campus performances for the marching band.
"Our show will feature famous music from the movies 'Back to the Future,' James Bond, 'Mission: Impossible,' 'Canned Heat' from 'Napoleon Dynamite,' 'The Avengers' and 'Star Trek,'" Fambrough said. "There will be snippets from other movies inserted into the show for the enterprising listener. We're working to have someone perform Napoleon's dance to 'Canned Heat' for that part of the show."
Their schedule also includes performances at high school competitions, in addition to the Green and Gold games scheduled this fall. The Marching Blazers have also been invited to march in the World Peace Parade in Rome, Italy, for the New Year's Day celebration. About 50 members of the band will travel to Italy to participate.

New England snowmobile weekend coming upThe Associated Press | January 21,2013AUGUSTA, Maine — Snowmobilers from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont who are looking for some fresh scenery have a big opportunity coming up.
Reciprocal Snowmobile Weekend this coming Friday to Sunday allows all legally registered Maine snowmobiles to be operated in New Hampshire and Vermont without being registered in those states.
At the same time, snowmobiles legally registered in New Hampshire and Vermont can be operated in Maine without a current Maine registration. In Maine alone, snowmobilers can explore more than 13,000 miles of interconnected, groomed and marked trails.
The Maine Warden Service reminds snowmobilers to ride with caution at all times. Maine Warden Col. Joel Wilkinson also advises riders to pay close attention to ice conditions on all Maine waterways, especially when traveling at night.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

You don't need to be a sleuth to figure out why Agatha Christie set so many of her crime novels in Devon. She was born in Torquay, fell in love there more than once and spent the happiest years of her life in a holiday home high above the River Dart with her second husband.
Can there be a city in the world whose centre has shifted as often as Berlin? We're not just talking pre- and post-Cold War here… at every one of my three visits since the Wall came down, I've found the hub of all that was happening marching relentlessly eastwards.
Blame it on the rich stock of buildings going for very low rents in the depressed east when this city of two halves was reunited in 1990.
Artists, designers and all kinds of other creatives felt encouraged to set up in the grim but affordable corners of what was already perceived as a buzzy and happening metropolis.
After a few days in the sun, there are three words guaranteed to bring you back to earth harder than a 747 with a blowout: Cold, Rain ... and Luton. The pilot told us to expect all three, in that order, as a wobbly budget jet that seemed to shudder in sympathy, broke through the clouds over Bedfordshire to the sound of trolleys being stashed and air crew strapping themselves in.
Ten minutes later, a handful of Brits and a few well-fed Italian families trudged their way against a spitty cross-wind smudging the mascara of the hostess trying to smile us through to Arrivals.
There are, at present, 317 people living in the isolated northern Spanish village of Villabuena de Alava. But - given its location in the heart of Rioja wine country - it is not surprising that there are 43 wineries.
If you exclude the priest and the mayor, we are probably looking at one winery for every six people.
Travelling from Bilbao airport to Villabuena - my base for a weekend of learning about the best of the bodegas - the eye is immediately struck by three things.
Barely a decade ago, the idea of a city break in Manchester would have seemed laughable to southerners. Warm and friendly people? Certainly, as those who have visited friends and family in the city of the Red Devils and Sky Blues will testify. A great dining, shopping and clubbing destination? Also true, but only to those in the know.
It has taken a huge investment in culture and infrastructure over the past 10 years to make Manchester (or, rightly speaking, Manchester and Salford, the adjacent city which has at least half the good stuff) the prime tourist destination it is today.
When any slice of Italy remains undiscovered by the demonstrably Italiophile British tourist, you have to wonder why.
And given the beauty and diversity of Basilicata, it can only be down to its history - which is strange and exotic. The Jews who first peddled their wares along the Appian Way in the third century CE are long gone (even from Naples, the nearest major city, which once had a substantial community), as are the stonemasons who worked the quarries before emigrating to build New York's skyscrapers.
Even the most seasoned traveller can be prejudiced by misconceptions, and in the case of Mexico's Caribbean coast, I put my hands up. I resolutely avoided the newish holiday playground known as the Riviera Maya for years; certain it would be overbuilt and overrun by package tourists, rather than remaining the pristine paradise much of it still is.
That's the problem with being a Mexicophile - you fall in love with the colour, the chaos and the ancient culture which underpins this most fascinating of countries.
There was an episode of the classic TV comedy show Alan Partridge that featured the hapless TV host suggesting programme ideas to a BBC1 executive. Monkey Tennis, Inner City Sumo and Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave were his creative gems. Well, how about this, Alan - Flirting in Malta?
Flirting in Malta sounds like the latest in the series of those horrible Sky Three programmes about drunken louts trying to mate on holiday, but it is an actual holiday idea.
On our first morning in Centre Parcs, my three-year-old daughter stood staring out the patio window of our cottage, into Longleat forest.
"Imma," she turned to me. "Is that a dog?"
I'm not quite sure what I imagined - a snarling dingo? One of the neighbour's pets preparing to pounce? I rushed to the window.
There, right on our doorstep, stood a deer and a bambi. Completely oblivious to our presence, they grazed for a minute or two and quietly trotted off.
It was a stunning moment, which for me encapsulated the Centre Parcs experience.
Zipping along skinny country roads, past craggy moorland and sweeping fields as puffs of clouds drift in bright blue skies, it's hard to place this hidden corner of England. It's wilder than the Cotswolds and quieter than the Lakes, and hidden is how those who know about it would like to keep it.
The Forest of Bowland is one of England's most beautiful country escapes, for ramblers, foodies, cyclists and city-slickers seeking a slower, simpler pace of life.

|Storage Speak
Amy Campbell
Heavenly Storage?It's not often you see self-storage all rolled up in a neat little package with religion, but a post in today's East Texas Review Gospel News makes an interesting little connection: We don't need to store things on earth because if you're a "good Christian," you're "laying up treasures in heaven" (Matthew 6:19-21). Here's the relevant excerpt from Dr. David Dykes: Over the last 40 years, a new ...
VVVrrrrroooooom!Back on March 30th, I blogged about a storage operator who had concerns about the fact that her income was closely tied to weekly store revenue and the effects increased competition was having on her business. I went on to discuss some unusual, "high-powered" marketing tactics, including mention of one facility using NASCAR sponsorships to enhance its visibility to the public. Looks like the ...
Remembering GreatnessOriginally called "Decoration Day," Memorial day is a remembrance of individuals who have died serving our country. This weekend, as you plan your BBQs, picnics, parties and other festivities, take just a moment to consider the meaning behind the long-awaited three-day weekend. (If you'd like to know about the origins and history of this holiday, jump on over to USMemorialDay.org.) Memorial Day ...
Storage Marketing ResourcesMost self-storage operators aren't trained in marketing; and yet it's become essential to the health of any storage business, particularly in ultra-competitive areas.
Dinner, Dancing , the Whole KittencaboodleIf you like dinner, and you like dancing, and you like being on a cruise ship, and picturesque sky lines and all that jazz, then just wait until you learn about the options to enjoy all of the above in a single package in Reno/Tahoe, Nev., during the ISS Expo, July 19-22. Is sunset your favorite time of day? Then check out these delightful dusk events: Emerald Bay Sightseeing Dinner Cruise Sunset ...
Crazy Tuesday?According to the St. Louis dbusinessnews.com site, industry operator StorageMart has issued a "Crazy Tuesday" alert for the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Apparently, there's a particularly high demand for storage units on that occasion. Any idea why that is? Company president Chris Burnam identified it as the storage industry's equivalent to day-after-Thanksgiving retail mayhem, but failed to ...
Nice Doggies!The June issue of Inside Self-Storage focuses on site security: hardware, software, crime prevention, remote management, etc. But there's one unique option not mentioned in that issue; and since I recently read about a facility taking a whirl at it, I thought I would mention it here: on-site K-9 training. The owner of Northland Storage of Mandan, N.D., (who also happens to be president of the ...

The Batmobile, the Batwing and more!
Posted 09 April 2012 - 09:00 PM
First - unfortunately, the weather at home was miserable, and I only had a little time to take photographs. So they stink. I've tried to tidy them up, and I hopefully will get decent shots done in the future. But I wanted to share the creations and I don't know when I'll get a chance to reshoot the pictures.
Second: the main business of the day.
The Batmobile!
I tried to merge the Tumbler with the more 'traditional' bat-themed vehicles. I planned this extensively in Ldraw beforehand, since I wanted to get the shape just right. I'm very pleased with the result, though I wish I'd been able to get some weapons in there. Maybe I'll figure something out eventually.
The Batmobile by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr
The Batwing!
Since I'd built him a car, I thought I'd build him a jet as well. Not based on any particular design, though the Justice League Unlimited version had a heavy influence.
The Batwing by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr
The kryptonite powered cyborg, ready to go toe-to-toe with Superman. I am ludicrously pleased with his shins.
Metallo by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr
A Captain Marvel minifigure, because I'm a fan and I wanted one. I need some proper transfer paper, though, and some printing on that cape.
Captain Marvel by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr
Mr Atom!
The villianous robot, here to smash up your city and steal your Lego bricks! Someone for Captain Marvel to fight!
Captain Marvel versus Mr Atom! by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr
That's all for now - though I've also uploaded several minifigures I've either customised or made spiffy display bases for.

It's based chiefly on the Batwing that appeared in the Justice League Unlimited episode 'Heart of Darkness', which can be found on this page: http://dcanimated.wi...om/wiki/Batwing
The 'hover pods' were inspired by the Arkham City Batplane, though, which I considered adhering to more closely but I wasn't sure how to get the cockpit shape.
