So Russ Brandon couldn't wait to get off that podium and get to Arizona to start the process of interviewing head coach candidates for the Bills. Fair enough. Love the enthusiasm. Don't love the rush to interview guys from a five-win team the Bills actually beat this year, but that's another column for another day.
Brandon's initial legacy is going to be all about who ends up getting hired as the head coach. Then it moves to getting a quarterback.
But as epochal as Tuesday's announcement of the torch-passing from Ralph Wilson to Brandon may have been, I have one gnawing thought.
Brandon had better not be Buffalo's next Larry Quinn.
We all remember him. Two terms near the top of the Sabres' hierarchy, including one as minority owner. Neither ended well. It was a classic case of a guy with plenty of business acumen having no business being involved with what happened on the ice.
Quinn's background was in real estate and urban planning. And First Niagara Center, still one of the top arenas in the NHL, was his vision at a time when the city desperately needed someone to come up with one.
It was early in 1996, back when he was trying to boost Big 4 basketball as an important piece to fill arena dates, that Quinn gave me a personal tour of the under-construction arena.
We went through the pavilion and I interrupted Quinn's speedy descriptions with a simple question: "Larry, how in the world are 18,000 people going to come in through one door?"
Quinn explained the pavilion would be a signature element, a grand community meeting place. He rhapsodized about throngs of cheering fans entering before events and exiting triumphantly after them. He was so right.
Quinn did plenty of good, like running with the NHL's idea of an outdoor game and making it a spectacle. The league should have taken him seriously about bigger nets too. But he didn't belong in the John Muckler-Ted Nolan mess. And his man-crush on Chris Drury helped the club deem Daniel Briere expendable in that fateful summer of 2007.
At least Brandon's background is in sports, dating to his days with the Rochester Red Wings and Florida Marlins. Brandon is a brilliant marketer. The Bills' training camp setup at St. John Fisher is the envy of many NFL teams, as is the money they rake in from that disgraceful selloff of a game to Toronto.
Under Brandon, the Bills have sold hope better than any franchise around. Remember Terrell Owens?
I loved what Brandon said about the Bills' record being unacceptable and about the brand being tarnished. In terms of relevance to their league, the Bills have become the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NFL.
Forget 13 straight non-playoff seasons. My scorebook says it's been 17 years since the Bills' last playoff win (the 37-22 wild-card thumping of the Dolphins on Dec. 30, 1995).
Brandon needs to trust his football people but his first move was to keep Buddy Nix, a 73-year-old who admitted Tuesday he didn't know a lick about the analytics the new president was talking about. Uh-oh.
So it appears Brandon is going to make heavy football decisions here. You'd like to think he's ready but it's scary stuff. Look what happened to the Sabres when Quinn got too involved.

Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Ronald Torreyes had four hits and Ryan Cuneo drove-in five runs with a three-run home run and a two-run single, leading the Daytona Cubs to a 10-3 victory over the San Jose Giants (San Francisco Giants Hi-A affiliate) on Field #3, and Cubs 2011 1st round draft pick Javier Baez smacked an opposite-field solo HR over the RF fence and onto 8th Street in the 3rd and ripped a line-drive double off the CF "Green Monster" Batter's Eye to key a two-run 9th, as the Peoria Chiefs rallied for four runs over the final two innings to tie the Augusta GreenJackets (Giants "A" affiliate) 6-6 on Field #2, in Cactus League Minor League game action this afternoon at Fitch Park in Mesa, AZ.
While most of the Cubs MLB squad had the day off, LHP Paul Maholm threw five innings (71 pitches – 48 strikes) for the Daytona Cubs at Fitch Park. Maholm allowed one run on two hits and a walk, with seven strikeouts, and 6/1 GO/FO. Maholm is a bit behind the other Cubs starting pitchers, having missed about a week of workouts last month while dealing with the flu, but today's outing should get him to where he needs to be.
Cubs 2010 1st round draft pick Hayden Simpson made his second start of Minor League Spring Training, and had a better outing than his first one last Saturday. Pitching for Peoria on Field #2, Simpson allowed one run on two hits and a walk in the top of the 1st, but got out of a 1st & 3rd one-out jam by inducing a 4-6-3 DP to end the inning, and then set the side down in order in both the 2nd and 3rd innings. He retired the last eight men he faced.
Daytona LHP Austin Kirk had an interesting outing, entering the game on Field #3 in the top of the 8th and immediately walking the bases loaded, before striking out five of the next six men he faced.<.p>
The Peoria game featured one of the more-peculiar base-running gaffes I've seen in a while.
With Peoria down 6-4 with two outs in the bottom of the 8th, and with 19-year old Cuban defector Yasiel Balaguert on 2nd and Kenny Socorro on 3rd and a 3-2 count on Dan Vogelbach, Balaguert inexplicably broke for 3rd. I'm not exactly sure how it's done in Cuba, but I doubt that this is how it's outlined in the new Cubs Way manual. It's not good strategy to break with the pitch—even if it's a 3-2 pitch with two outs, if you're on 2nd base, 3rd base is occupied, and 1st base is unoccupied.
Needless to say, Socorro was surprised to see Balaguert running up behind him at 3rd base, and Vogelbach had a classic WTF!? reaction after arriving at 1st base. While Balaguert did realize his mistake and tried to back-peddle to 2nd, the Giants were too smart for the ploy, and at one point both Balaguert and Socorro were strung-out between the bases, before the Giants finally got the 3rd out.
This should give Cubs Minor League Baserunning instructor Lee Tinsley something to discuss during base-running drills tomorrow morning, although they work on this stuff EVERY DAY.
While Peoria had rallies over the last two innings to tie the score at six, the Chiefs left runners in scoring position in both innings, first with the Balaguert baserunning adventure ending the 8th, and then getting the winning run as far as 3rd base with one out in the bottom of the 9th, before a 5-3 ground out and a line-out to RF ended the threat.
As is usually the case, players from the Boise/Mesa squad provided most of the late-inning lineup replacements in both the Peoria and Daytona games.
AAA Iowa and AA Tennessee were on the road in Scottsdale today playing the Giants AAA and AA affiliates at Indian School Park.

Peoria starters
Is it still to early to read anything into the Peoria starting lineup? Obviously, there will still be pin action, but it's Baez, Dunston, Vogelbach, and Candelario getting reps into late March. Even if they don't break camp with the Chiefs, the brass is giving them a chance.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
I hope JedStein keeps Vogelbomb (great name by the way), J Baez, and J. Candelario together for a while.
Who looks like a better fielder: Baez or Candelario? Both read like they're extremely raw.
They both project for 3B right?
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Baez sounds less inflexible. Can probably stick at SS for the near-term.
Vogelbach and Golden
AzPhil or anyone whose seen a minor league game this Spring, how are Vogelbach and Golden looking as far as their conditioning goes? I know last year there were some complaints that Golden reported to camp out of shape, but I believe he spent some time in Camp Busey this winter, no? Vogelbach seems like a hard worker who will do his best to keep the weight under control, but I'm curious to know how that's going. Thanks!
1984 Division Clincher I think
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
if there was only one out & vogelbach was @ 1B striking his 'wtf' pose how did the ensuing rundown result in out #3?
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
no problem - i was reading the account & getting a great picture in mind's eye & thought WAIT A MINUTE...did the defector from 2nd just try to nonchalant his return to the bag, as though it was all good?
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Bears sign Oakland RB Michael Bush
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Very nice pickup at what seems to be a relatively low price. A more well-rounded backup than Barber or Bell. I would like to see a more elusive, open-field guy as the 3rd RB. Bush also gives them some leverage against giving Forte too exorbitant of a long-term deal.
They've added options at most of their key spots, giving them flexibility in the draft. Assuming no long-term issue with Marshall, DE should still be the top need. Just not sure how much Idonije has left, and Wootton isn't the pass-rusher that they need. Well, OL should be the top concern, specifically, LOT, but who is there at 19 that will be worth it? Don't see Reiff or Martin falling there. If they did, perhaps. Far from sold on Adams/Glenn being worth it for the Bears there.
Beyond DE/OT (I'm okay with our interior options, well, Garza is a question but he'll be the starter barring a surprise), the other main thing I'd like to see another CB to challenge Tim Jennings.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
I told somebody here that I'd be shocked if Barber came back...
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
fair enough. I went into the off-season thinking that with so many needs, they might keep him around as his contract wasn't that much, relatively speaking.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Forte is very pissed per the Twitter.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
I hope Forte is a Bear for a long time, and to an extent, it's a bit unfair to him, but it's a business where RB's are replaceable and Forte has a lot of wear and tear on those treads. I'd have no problem with the Bears franchising him for a year, or two, and then letting him go after that if they decide it is in their best interest. Bears have to do what's best for them, and Forte has to do what's best for him, even if that includes attempting to hold out.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
There's only so many times a man that has done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected! Guess the GOOD GUYS do finish last....
says the man that's gonna get paid $7M+ this year...
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
And turned down a reasonable extension at beginning of last season
Fire your agent
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
It wasn't reasonable compared to the other top players when you are the majority of your offense. Most running backs out there aren't so much of an offense and aren't as valuable running or catching.
Sure 7 million is a lot of money but in the context of football and comparative salaries he deserves more money. And running backs aren't interchangable, especially when you got as crappy a line as we got. There aren't many backs out there who could get the yards he got behind the line he has to run behind.
Re: Forte
I was basing the $7M+ on the franchise tag and isn't that something like the top 5 salaries for that position?
I certainly don't think he's worth much more than that.
probably deserves a multi-year deal, but there's two partners in that dance and there should be some give and take for the mult-year risk.
I personally don't blame either party, Forte has every right to want more and Bears have every right to franchise tag him.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
7.7 million is #3 according to the list. He's not worth more per year, he is definitely worth giving that kind of salary for multiple years for how much he's done for this team and how many different roles he can take on. Running backs who can catch and block in the passing game are one of the most underrated parts of a good passing game. He has done everything he was asked on a dysfunctional team with a horrible line. Him and Cutler deserve medals for putting up with some of the crap imo, not just multi-year deals.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Where'd you get that #? And that would put him 5th on the list when imo he was more valuable to his team then all those people.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
according to that article, it was higher than 5/32...allegedly.
Forte's still pretty young, but you generally don't get better with age and now w/o Martz, I'm gonna guess his numbers will go down a bit. He's also coming off a knee injury now.
Love the guy, hope they work it out, but if he's looking 5 years, he's gotta understand he's not looked at in terms of Foster, Peterson and Johnson around the league.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
It's a situation of paying for future performance and not past sentiment. Especially in football where you have a salary cap and every move has to intertwine.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Exactly it's a business,and actually one of the luckier ones for the Bears. He should have held out last year I would not have fault him or he could have signed the contract.
Now they have Marshall he will have a smaller roler also, he rolled the dice and hit craps.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
speaking of RB's getting older...
Marion Barber retired. Rookie at 22, Pro Bowl at 24, done at 28. Being a RB is scary.
Re: Maholm Throws Five Innings at Fitch Park
Barber was done w Bears after Denver game

good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(

The invitation has arrived, as it does every year. It's an open invitation. One that gently beckons.
Over the coming week Christians throughout the world will gather to retell and relive the heart of our story: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are offered an invitation to walk with Jesus, not as passive observers but as full participants in the paschal mystery.
And when we accept this invitation we embark upon a journey that draws us closer to God; a journey that exposes our human weakness; a journey of discovery about ourselves and the God revealed to us in Jesus Christ; a journey that demonstrates, above all, the power of God�s love for each one of us. There will be highs and lows, opportunities and temptations, euphoria and despair, tears of joy and tears of sorrow. It�s not an easy journey nor is it without commitment, but we don�t travel it alone. We walk with Jesus and one another.
It begins with praise and jubilation, palms and the singing of sweet hosannas. Yet the�hard wood of the cross looms behind the leafy green palms.�Bittersweet hosannas ring as�condemnation and accusation overpower love. We find ourselves in an Upper Room, a garden. We pray, we deny, we cry "crucify."
Thanks be to God, death is not the final refrain; it�s not the end of our story. It is not finished. We pass through death to resurrection but Christ�s death is not the last word. We wait and watch and journey with Jesus this week before we can proclaim with authenticity and audacity that final refrain � the refrain that only comes with the triumph of the resurrection.
Whoever you are, whatever your circumstances, consider this invitation. For in the cross is our hope; in the cross is our salvation; in the cross is our life. Accept this invitation. Live fully into this invitation. Transformation awaits.

On September 9, 2010, the International Myeloma Foundation signed a cooperative agreement with the Chinese Health Promotion Foundation (CHPF), an agency that operates under the Chinese Ministry of Health, to promote awareness of myeloma in China and to encourage measures to prevent and combat the disease. This agreement substantially expands IMF's presence in Asia and will support the thousands of myeloma patients in China.
The agreement was signed by Dr. Shuzhong Bai, Chairman of the CHPF, and by Daniel Navid, Senior Global Analyst for the IMF. A ceremony in Beijing to mark the occasion was hosted by Dr. Yingming Chang, Secretary General of the CHPF. Dr.Xiaojun Huang, Chairman of the Chinese Hematology Association and Hematology Society of the Chinese Medical Association, and Dr. Wenming Chen, also attended the signature ceremony. Both are members of the International Myeloma Working Group, an organization of international myeloma experts organized by the IMF.
In a message to the ceremony, IMF's President Susie Novis noted that "Chinese health authorities clearly recognize the significance of myeloma in their country, and we are honored and gratified that they acknowledge the role the IMF can play in supporting patients, disseminating information and encouraging research,"
On behalf of the CHPF, Dr. Zhao Yanling, Head of International Relations noted, "The mission of the CHPF is to bring together Chinese medical experts to raise the health standard of the Chinese people, and we can think of no better partner to work with us on behalf of myeloma patients than the IMF."
Initial goals of the agreement include:
Longer-range goals of this joint effort include establishing a Myeloma Patient Society in China and hosting a regional conference on myeloma for health care experts in Asia.

Comments about Levenger Special Request Bookography (100 sheets), Circa Letter:
I had run out of the pages that originally came with my Bookography Kit back when I ordered it in 2005 or so. I tried keeping up with my notes on books I've read in notebooks but had but got frustrated because I could not reorganize the pages once I completed them. When I found out you still carried the refills I had to get some. I am ecstatic that they match the original ones and I could go back to annotating my reading habit. Thank you!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After years of delays, Boeing appears
to be finding its groove with the 787
Dreamliner. The fifth test aircraft, ZA005, took to the air
yesterday afternoon from Paine Field in Everett, Washington [video].
The purpose of the fifth airframe is to
test the use of new General
Electric GEnx turbofan engines. Boeing hopes to show that the use
of the General Electric engines does not change the flight
characteristics of the aircraft. Customer will be able to choose
between Rolls-Royce
Trent 1000 engines (which has powered the previous four aircraft)
or the aforementioned General Electric GEnx engines.
"The airplane handled just like I
expected," said Bryan, who piloted ZA005 during the nearly four
hour flight. "It was just like every other 787 flight that I've
flown in the last several months – smooth, per plan and excellent."
"We're pleased to introduce the
fifth Dreamliner to the flight-test fleet and to start flight testing
with GE engines," said Scott Fancher, general manager of the 787
program. "It's taken the collective resources and dedication of
our teams to get to this day. There's just nothing like a first
flight to validate that it has been worth the sacrifices we have all
seen our teams make in the past several years."
If the 787 testing program continues to
move forward on schedule, the sixth and final test aircraft, ZA006,
will take to the air next month. The first delivery of production
aircraft is still on track for the fourth quarter of this year.
As of May 2010, Boeing currently has
orders for the 787 Dreamliner (669 of the 787-8, and 191 of the
quote: the 787 is marginally larger than the 707
quote: however the 737 (the 707's official replacement) is significantly smaller than a 707
quote: of course, a 757 could be used (which would effectively split the difference), although it is around a foot narrower than the 707.
quote: while it is true that civillian planes tend to accrue hours somewhat faster than their military counterparts; bear in mind that they are also swapped out of the fleet with far more frequency.
quote: 30 years have completely changed not only electronics but the materials, manufacturing process
quote: the actual age of the planes is significantly older--perhaps as much as 40 years or more in total.

Rain drops spill from the rigging. The Spirit of South Carolina rocks restlessly in the tidal chop, its foresails fastened to its rail in storage.
At the pilot schooner's helm, the man who loves the ship is polishing brass with a shy smile on his face. Troy LeBoeuf, 46 years old, lives on the berthed tall ship as its caretaker. Quiet, thoughtful, he has the self-effacing manner of someone who is glad just to be here.
Most of the time nowadays, he is the only one aboard.
He dotes on the ship. After a day's work at a home supply store, he swabs the decks, runs the bilge pumps, rubs the mahogany rail with Australian timber oil — any one of the endless chores to keep this beauty shipshape.
The officers of the Charleston Maritime Foundation have told him they can't pay him. It doesn't matter. He pays for supplies out of pocket, paid for the new American flag at the stern that replaced one in tatters.
He doesn't have to, and he knows it. All he has to do is stand a last watch.
The Spirit is not likely to sail again under the foundation's auspices, after introducing nearly 10,000 students — hands on — to the Tall Ship heritage that is the very blood of this port town.
"I could be living here every day, sitting here and doing nothing," LeBoeuf acknowledges with a nod. "But I'm not going to sit here and let this boat get into disrepair. It's worth it. Even if I have to spend a few dollars out of pocket, it's worth it. Because it meant so much to so many kids."
And to LeBoeuf. He first saw the ship under construction in Ansonborough Field in 2003 and wanted to be a part. He became a project volunteer, crewed a number of those educational harbor cruises. He had grown up aboard shrimp boats and other vessels. But never a sailing ship.
"This is the only one," he says.
The Spirit is for sale, with few interested buyers.
The foundation is entangled in debts. Its office phone is disconnected, its website defunct.
"We're trying to put something together to keep the boat here. We'd like to return it to its mission," said Teddy Turner of the foundation. But "we don't really have a lot of control over that."
The foundation laid the keel for the Spirit in 2000 and it slipped into the harbor seven years later, the work largely of volunteers and a $4 million community effort, an eye-catching two-masted schooner that was championed as a proud symbol to the world.
Last January, LeBeouf came aboard at the Charleston Maritime Center, the ship tied down a little more than a hundred yards from where its keel was laid.
He makes coffee each morning belowdecks and carries it to the deck in the sunrise over Charleston Harbor. He loves the view, the peace.
In 2011, LeBeouf had just completed rounds of chemotherapy and radiation and was about to go into surgery for colon cancer when he took the wheel for the last time with the ship at sail. He chokes up to talk about what it meant to him. Nowadays he gives that wheel full turns to keep it turning.
"It's like a dream," he says. "You're dreaming that you're under sail."
To his starboard, the tall ship Harvey Gamage is tied to the Spirit at mooring. Across the dock is the Geronimo. On the next dock down is the tall ship Gunilla. A little farther up the harbor, the tall ship Virginia is at anchor below the Ravenel Bridge. Each of them is an operating educational vessel with students aboard. They are in Charleston almost by happenstance, traveling from their winter to summer ports. But they are gathered around the Spirit like they don't want to leave it behind.
When people call down from the dock to ask about the ship, LeBoeuf tells its tale, again. Maybe the next person will be the right one to hear it.
"It bothers me that with all the money in this community, people can't find enough to keep her here," he says. "It was a lot of people's dream to get her built. It's my job to keep her."

Kurt Cobain, The lead singer of Nirvana. Kurts music changed the music industry in a way that is still evident today. He influences so many people with his amazing music and lyrics. The world was blessed with his talent and presence until april 5th, 1994, when he supposedly committed suicide. now i could ramble on for hours on all of the evidence that makes it CLEAR that he didnt committ suicide but ill just skip that and say that kurts true fans already know all of that and know in their hearts that he didnt kill himself but was killed by courtney love. nobody is ever going to forget Kurt. his music will keep him alive as it touches people each and every day. The world was a better place when you were with us, Kurt. RIP.

by Rachel January 25, 2004
The lead singer of Nirvana, a truely wonderful man who influenced a generation. Sung such great songs as "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Im Bloom", "Heart-Shaped Box" and "Lithium". The man who inspired me to pick up a guitar and to try and write songs of my own, and form a small band with some friends. He died before his time, wether is was by suicide or if someone killed him, the sad fact remians that he is no longer with us. He was one of the musical giants of our time, and is greatly missed.

"never met a wise man. if so it's a woman"
by Mikey B. November 22, 2003
Kurt Cobain was born on February 20 1967, in Hoquaim, a small town southwest of Seattle. His family moved to Aberdeen, and his parents would get divorced. He had a dysfunctional childhood - or, indeed, life - from there on out. He left Aberdeen for Olympia, where he formed the band Nirvana. The sudden success and critical acclaim of the band that would eventually come floored him. In Feburary 1992 he'd marry Courtney Love, who was already pregnant with his child, Francis Bean Cobain. On April 5th Kurt Cobain died, apparently by his own hand. The death was offically ruled by a suicide, although fans and conspiracy theorists alike speculate upon the subject to this day. He left behind a musical legacy with Nirvana that has yet to be rivaled.
"I'm doing an analysis of Kurt Cobain's lyrics from Nirvana for class."
by G. March 23, 2005
Kurt Cobain, along with Nirvana, changed the music industry drastically in that they ended the Metal era of the 1980's and influenced the modern bands we hear today.
Most people would like to talk about his death, if he was killed, if he committed suicide, etc, and this very fact alone might have made him a legend to many people. But to me, he's a legend because he made great influential music. Music that rock wouldn't survive without. Nirvana is the core and heart of the rock body. Embrace him, not his death.

4 Recurring Myths We Apparently Really Want to Believe
Political Correctness Gone Wrong
Last year, on Cinco de Mayo, five high school students were sent home for wearing "American flag T-shirts." You know, like this one.
Via NBC Bay Area
It was an outrage. Five kids just happened to come to school wearing Old Navy shirts or something that happened to have the American flag on them somewhere, and they got sent home by a touchy feely principal scared of offending the slightest sensibilities of Hispanic students. What better example of political correctness gone wrong? Headlines and blogs started blaring that it was now illegal to wear American flags in our own country.
Well, the five kids didn't show up dressed that way by coincidence, nor was it subtle.
Via Lora Schraft, Gilroy Dispatch
According to some witnesses, the kids were yelling, "We live in America!" during the brunch break. The school had already seen trouble on Cinco de Mayo the year before and had actually asked students ahead of time to not wear flag clothes this year.
OK, you might think, those kids weren't innocent flag wearers who just happened to want to show American patriotism on that day by coincidence, but it's not illegal! It sure isn't! Not only did the kids never face any legal jeopardy, but the school board immediately overturned the principal's decision, so even the school discipline was reversed. So they weren't patriotic kids minding their own business who paid the price, they were jackholes who didn't end up facing any consequences. So don't worry! It is still A-OK to stir shit up and offend people in this country and play innocent. Hopefully people will think less of you, but you won't go to jail!
First Amendment. Love it or leave it.
While the mainstream news mostly deals in overblowing threats to our national identity and freedoms, email forwards and internet urban legends are free to just make up completely fake threats. One of the most treasured classics is the old "FCC Planning To Ban Religious Broadcasting" email forward.
When I first got this forward back in 1996 or something, I was pretty sure it was fake because the woman behind this ban was the obviously fake and badly spelled "Madalyn Murray O'Hair," but it turns out that's the most real thing about the story. Back when this story was invented, which was actually in the 70s, she was actually a notorious atheist activist and a great name to attach to this kind of story for an extra scare.
Via Alan Light
A truly terrifying figure.
O'Hair has been dead for at least 10 years and not only does that make it difficult for her to be the driving force behind an FCC ban on religious broadcasting, but there was never a ban proposed by anyone to begin with. "Petition 2493," that official sounding case number that makes the email sound so authentic, was a 1974 petition to stop religious institutions from using channels set aside for education, that's it, and even that was turned down in 1975. Despite all that, the story keeps evolving, albeit really slowly, as stories circulated by mostly old people will do, and over the years has worked in Touched By An Angel (they were going to ban it) and the election of Barack Obama (apparently they finally found a replacement to play the part of O'Hair after 34 years).
Facts be damned, though, people keep circulating it, because they know our freedoms are under attack and our government is a bunch of namby pamby concessionists always taking the side of People Who Aren't Like Us. If we tell our own personal anecdotes about why this is true, like how outraged we are that they are selling taco shells in the supermarket, our stories sound a little lame and petty. That's why we're happy to swallow someone else's extreme, outrageous stories to better justify our sense of persecution, even if they are only minimally plausible.
Everyone Is Trying To Kill Women
A quick browse of Snopes shows a good amount of creative horror stories about new trends in rape, like did you know rapists are offering women perfume samples in mall parking lots, but IT'S REALLY KNOCKOUT GAS? Or did you know they're using a "lost child" as bait to lead you back to a trap house rigged with AN ELECTRIFIED DOORBELL THAT KNOCKS YOU OUT? And today's cutting edge rapists aren't just knocking you out, they're mixing a drug called "Progesterex" in with their roofies so they can knock you out AND permanently sterilize you for some reason. Because most rapists are identified by paternity tests apparently.
Via Wikimedia Commons
"Congratulations, ma'am! We also have some bad news ..."
And it's not just rapists that are after women, it's also tampon companies, that supposedly fill tampons with asbestos to cause women to bleed more, so that, you know, they'll buy more product. My mom actually forwarded me that exact email. Thanks, Mom!
So why the fuck do so many women love repeating stories about how everybody is out to rape them and give them cancer? Well, like all crazy beliefs, it starts with a grain of truth. Women do have a few reasons to be more worried about attacks than men. They're physically weaker on average, and have more to worry about in a one-on-one attack. Most victims of rape are women. Women's purses are easy snatch-and-grab robbery targets. (Here's hoping the man-purse keeps making inroads.)
Via Lainey Gossip
Hey, if Tom Brady can do it ...
So a whole bunch of advice and support has sprung up to help women be smart and keep safe -- advice that started out as reasonable, practical tips, like, "Try to avoid walking alone when possible," and "Keep alert to your surroundings." Then they started getting more aggressive, with special women's self-defense classes and suggestions to carry pepper spray or a gun, and then just spiraled into paranoia, with classes that teach you what hairstyle a rapist is most likely to go for, and electrified doorbells.
Via The Joker Wiki
Are these supposed to be rapists or Batman villains?
Most stories people tell to get attention get scrutinized a bit, at least enough that laughably fake ones won't work. But if the story isn't a self-aggrandizing tale but told out of "concern" to "help your fellow women," people's defenses go down. You don't use the same critical eye you use on a story, because it's not a "story," it's a "helpful tip."
Maybe none of these types of stories push your buttons, but everybody's got a weak spot. If you ever run into a news story that gets you physically excited, make sure to take a step back and ask why you want it to be true so bad, and see if it's clouding your judgment. And then clean yourself up.

The GenBore ID triple toolholder is designed to add three ID tool stations in place of a standard OD turning position on most Swiss-type CNC machines. The toolholder can be used for spotting, boring and drilling applications, all from one position for more cost-effective machining of complex parts, the company says. The toolholder is designed for easy integration of high-pressure coolant delivery systems and can be configured for through-coolant delivery through one, two or all three tool positions.
The toolholder includes three ER11 5/8" shank collet sleeves, a removable location screw to reposition the holder on the gang plate, and set screws on both sides of the holder to suit RH & LH machine layouts. The ½" shank includes shim-plate for machines using 5/8" shank tooling. According to the company, the toolholder can be easily removed, returning to a standard OD turning position to suit specific machining requirements.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Two pit bull puppies died and three others were fighting for their lives Saturday night after a possible poisoning at the first annual Central Pennsylvania Pit Bull Awareness Day at Legion Park.
At about 2 p.m., one of six eight-week-old puppies owned by the local chapter of A Darrah Bull Bully Rescue started to act irregular, said Renae Metz of Roaring Spring, president.
"His stomach was bloated, he had glazy eyes and
couldn't hold his head up," Metz said.
The puppy was rushed to Ebensburg Animal Hospital, where it died, Metz said.
The other five puppies were then taken to the hospital. Four were put on IV treatment, and the other was being held for observation. One of the four later died, Metz said.
"They were healthy. It seems like it may have been an intentional poisoning," said Officer William Sheehan of the Hollidaysburg Police Department, who was called to the scene.
Dr. Michael Takacs of the Ebensburg Animal Hospital also said the puppies may have been poisoned, Metz said.
"Dr. Takacs said he believed they were poisoned by something in the water. He said there was no food in their stomachs, but the liver was bleeding, Metz said.
Metz was upset over the incident.
"They were 8 weeks old, they were at the vet Thursday and all were completely healthy," Metz said. "We were closely monitoring the puppies. We never thought that someone would be hateful enough to poison the puppies, we never thought that could happen."
In light of Saturday's event, there will be additional security measures in place today at another pet-themed event, the Altoona Mirror's second annual Central PA Pets Expo, to be held from noon to 5 p.m. at the Blair County Convention Center.
"We certainly hope the terrible tragedy Saturday was an isolated incident, but we'll have security guards and a police presence in place for our show so that everyone involved can feel extra safe," Mirror General Manager Ray Eckenrode said.

MORGANTOWN (AP) - Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin shook off GOP challenger Bill Maloney's attempts to link him to a president who's unpopular in the state, winning a full four-year term as West Virginia's chief executive Tuesday.
The state's five electoral votes, as expected, went to GOP hopeful Mitt Romney instead of President Barack Obama.
Tomblin, the state's longest-serving Senate president, successfully banked on the track record he'd established after three decades in state politics. He's been serving as acting governor since narrowly winning a special election for an unexpired term in 2010.

West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, left, embraces a supporter during his victory party after being re-elected to the state office on Tuesday in Charleston.
"The people of West Virginia appreciate the experience, the fiscal responsibility that we've shown, the good financial planning," Tomblin told The Associated Press. "We plan to continue to move forward along that same path and to continue to be responsible with the taxpayers' dollars."
In a brief concession speech in Morgantown, Maloney said he ran his campaign for his grandson and for other generations of children "who have left West Virginia to find new opportunities."
"And we're still hopeful we can bring all those children back to give them that opportunity right here in the Mountain State," he said, vowing to continue to fight but also calling for unity.
"This was a hard-fought campaign, but now it's time to come together and work together for a better state," Maloney said. "I want to ask all of you to work with Governor Tomblin to create a better West Virginia."
The candidates' first campaign showdown was brief, but this battle has been long and bitter, heavy on negative attacks by TV and direct mail. Tomblin argued the state has made good progress under his leadership, and in Arthurdale, 67-year-old teacher Mike George agreed.
The leadership that Manchin showed as governor was supported by Tomblin before he became chief executive, George said after casting his ballot for both. Together, the two Democrats pushed initiatives through the Legislature such as an overhaul of the state workers' compensation program.
"That was going to bankrupt the state in itself. They saw fit to make some adjustments to make it a viable, working process," George said. "I'm proud of that fact - that I'm in a state that is fiscally sound and well-run. ... I'd hate to see it change drastically."
But Maloney, a longtime drilling engineer and successful business owner from Morgantown who had worked hard on his ground game, argued that the state needs drastic change.
His campaign, like that of most statewide Republican candidates in West Virginia, has relied heavily on linking his opponent to an unpopular commander in chief. Obama is widely disliked in West Virginia, portrayed by political foes as an enemy of the coal industry.
Barbara Bolyard, a 50-year-old registered Democrat from Newburg, backed Maloney because she didn't like what she saw from Tomblin during his brief tenure.
"Tomblin has been flying on Manchins's coat tails, and I do not like that," she said. "Everything was set in motion for him. I did not see anything that he did on his own. He just followed through with Manchin's stuff."
"If he'd have shown me something that he had the initiative to do on his own," she said, "he'd have had my vote."
West Virginia hasn't elected a Republican governor since Cecil Underwood, who defeated Democrat Charlotte Pritt in 1996. Underwood lost in 2000 to Democrat Bob Wise.
Several third-party and write-in candidates also ran, including the Mountain Party's Jesse Johnson.

ABCDs of checking your skin
Skin cancer may be your last health worry under winter's gray skies. But skin cancer checks need to be a year-round maintenance effort.
"About 50 percent of melanomas are identified by patients, and even more are discovered if the skin is examined with the help of a partner," says Dr. Kenneth Arndt, a Harvard Medical School professor.
Knowing what to look for can give you the confidence that you're being proactive about your skin health. A recent study published in Archives of Dermatology found that older adults who received a hands-on tutorial from a dermatologist and a computer-based tutorial in how to check for skin cancers were much more confident in their ability to identify early cancer signs on their skin and have them evaluated promptly.
But Arndt says you don't need a special program. Just ask your partner to help you and take 10 minutes a month to look for skin lesions that you haven't noted before, or those that have changed in color, size or shape, and feel.
"Pay particular attention to spots that have grown and may display a variety of hues, such as tan, black, brown, pearly or translucent; moles or pigmented spots that have changed in color, mass or contour; or sores that continually crust, bleed, and itch," says Arndt.
For full instructions on skin exams and examples of what skin cancers look like, visit the websites of groups such as the Skin Cancer Foundation or the Melanoma Educational Foundation.
"Catch skin cancers early, and most can be cured," says Arndt.
The best way to check your skin: ABCD
Asymmetry: Melanoma is asymmetrical.
Border irregularity: Melanoma borders are shabby and uneven.
Color: Melanomas are usually very dark.
Diameter: Most melanomas are larger than 5 millimeters.

As the City of Altoona settles in to doing business under Act 47, the changes that came with the distressed city status has spurred an exodus among veteran officers of the Altoona Police Department, with five officers retiring already as of Saturday.
"I just received another retirement letter today that will be effective May 10," Altoona Police Chief Janice Freehling said on Thursday.
Make that six officers.

Altoona police Lt. Jeffrey Pratt collects information from Ashley Boyles of Altoona about an incident that took place at a local church food giveaway on Thursday. With Act 47 potentially affecting future police contracts, experienced officers have
chosen to retire from the department earlier than planned because of the possible changes.
Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Lt. Jeffrey?Pratt pulls over a motorist who was texting while driving. She was warned for that but cited for a problem with registration on the car she was driving.
"That will put us at 60 [officers]," Freehling said, noting that two years ago the police department was budgeted for 73 officers. The year before it was 74 officers. "We'll have 14 fewer officers. It makes scheduling difficult."
The majority of retirements are supervisors. According to the Act 47 plan, 12 officers between 2012 and 2013 were eligible to retire, including Deputy Police Chief Robert Seymore, whose position was cut by the restructuring.
"We have years of experience leaving through the door," she said.
Freehling said until officers turn in written notice, it's not possible to gauge how many officers will leave. A dozen would represent 18 percent of the force.
Those staffing challenges mean more overtime to ensure the department has the necessary manpower on the street, with Freehling saying the priority is the safety of the public.
"My concern is we're really not into the vacation period yet," the chief said. "As far as the number of officers, I'd like to be back to 74, but I know that's not going to happen."
In 2012, the department was budgeted for 70 officers and had only 67 positions filled. Under Act 47, the department will have to make do with 66.
At the beginning of the year, for the first time ever, APD conducted civil service testing for applicants that were already Act 120 certified, meaning candidates who already attended a police academy and received their credentials to be a police officer.
Freehling said background checks for the 15 who passed, of 17 who took the test, are under way and she's hopeful to bring four or five new officers into the fold next month.
"Right now, we're looking at hiring six [officers]" Freehling said.
As the officers leave, it takes away from the pool of available officers, and even after the new officers come on board, there's still an 18- to 20-week field training program. Freehling said, however, by only accepting Act 120 certified applicants it's likely that time will be lessened.
Former APD officer Sam McClure, 45, retired Feb. 3 after 20 years and 9 months on the force and joined the Blair County Sheriff's Department as a deputy. His reason?
"Act 47," McClure said bluntly.
What worried officers such as McClure so much about Act 47 was the uncertainty of future police contracts, particularly with benefits and retirement. With the police contract expiring at the end of 2013, McClure said he had to ultimately do what was best for his family and retire.
McClure said as of now, officers with 20 years can retire before the age of 50. After this year, when the contract is up, that probably won't be the case. There has been talk it could increase to 25 years of service and a minimum age of 55, he added.
Mark Martino, 46, who retired in July 2012 and also works as a Blair County Sheriff's Department deputy, said he saw what was coming and weighed the unknowns against what he knew he had if he retired early. After 18 1/2 years, plus credit for his military service in the Marines Corps, Martino said he would still be an officer had it not been for Act 47.
"It didn't look good - what we were going to lose," said Martino.
Because APD officers who retire after 20 years get 50 percent of their base pay, unlike state workers who can get up to 75 percent or teachers who can get up to 80 percent, it's not like those who are retiring are done working.
Martino said a patrolman after nearly 20 years has a base pay of $56,000. Half of that, Martino pointed out, isn't making the officers who retire rich.
"That's why we're out here [working]," Martino said. "It's not because we're greedy."
The uncertainty of what Act 47 will bring has officers retiring at a brisk pace, but it was nothing like the scene in December when the union's pension board called an emergency meeting to discuss council's impending vote to enter into Act 47.
"Nineteen officers showed up with retirement letters," recalled McClure, who was a member of the union's pension board.
At the time, the officers didn't know if entering into Act 47 would negate their contract, but even after they learned it wouldn't, officers knew that after 2013, any new contract would likely mean more years of service to earn fewer benefits and a smaller pension.
"We don't pay into Social Security," McClure said, adding that their retirement pay is also subject to federal taxes, on average around $300 a month. "Our pension is all we get."
Since no officer's pension can exceed half of the chief's salary, should the chief's position be subject to a lower salary, the pensions for the rest of the officers would be impacted, McClure said.
Martino said that because APD officers consistently took lower pay increases to keep better benefits, their pay is about 11 percent less than officers in other cities of similar size.
"I didn't want to leave when I did," McClure said, recounting it was a difficult moment when he tried to find the words to tell Freehling he was leaving. "I would have worked another 15 years."
But with one child in college, another in high school and a third in elementary school, McClure said in the end it wasn't in his best interest to stay. As a corporal in charge of crime scene investigations and evidence, McClure would have also been made a detective under Act 47.
Along with the financial outlook, it was best to retire, he said.
The former officers said when they began at APD in the 1990s, they were surrounded by experienced officers who taught them the ropes, something they fear younger officers at APD will miss out on as the veteran cops make their exit this year.
"There's 100 to 200 years of service walking out the door," McClure said. "By the end of May."
Martino recalled starting with guys on his shift that had a combined 135 years of police experience.
"I learned a lot," Martino said.
Martino said he misses the job and the people he worked with.
"You just miss being out on the street," he said. "I loved being out on the street - you never knew what you were going to get."
Still, neither would discourage young officers from wanting to work at APD, at one time a desirable department to get a job with, they said.
And the officers still at APD are dedicated to their profession, with plenty of experienced cops still working the streets, McClure said.
"You spend eight hours a day or more at work with these people," McClure said. "We have a brotherhood and a sisterhood - the strongest you could ever find."
Over the coming years, Altoona will find out what fewer officers on the street will mean for crime numbers, which after a spike in 2011 saw a dip in 2012. That information is from the Act 47 plan that suggests the restructuring will save nearly $500,000 for the city over the next four years - $262,000 alone just by keeping the force at 66 officers.
With 29,000 calls for police a year in Altoona, it will mean fewer cops tackling the same amount of work. When Freehling started as an officer in 1976, the department had 99 officers, and while the city is smaller now than then, the number of calls for police has gone up.
"One area of impact is our directed patrol," said Freehling. When created, the patrol included five officers and has now shrunk to two officers and a supervisor. It's a patrol the administration could use to focus on problem neighborhoods, getting officers out on the streets to interact with people and give APD a presence where it was needed most.
"Visibility is important," Freehling said. "We try to get as much visibility out there as we can."
Freehling echoed the former officers' sentiments about the value of experience, saying while APD faces some challenges with staffing over the next few years, she's confident of the abilities of the officers to adapt and get the job done.
"They're young," Freehling said. "But, they're intelligent. They learn; they try. It will work out."

I think Lucky covered Arcadian's question...it's not like tax payers are handed the bill if the person injured at the event doesn't have enough insurance to cover their medical bills..so..all you people claiming that tax payers will be handed the bill is not only false but something an alarmist would claim...

Why do I have to pay a $15 Insurance Fee? The $15 insurance is a mandatory part of the registration, as it covers you if you get injured. Even with your own insurance, our provider requires everyone purchase it in case of accident or if the insurance you have doesn't completely cover you. Here is the coverage: Tough Mudder LLC Participant Accident Insurance Participant Accident Insurance is purchased through ACE American Insurance Company and provides accidental medical benefits up to $100,000 per person for medical bills arising from an injury suffered while participating in a Tough Mudder event. In addition to Accidental Medical Benefits, the insurance provides $10,000 Accidental Death Benefit. Loss of income, sometimes called Disability Insurance is not provided by Tough Mudder.

Hmm, I wonder how many of the people who participated in this obviously dangerous activity had health insurance. And how many of the injured our tax dollars are going to support? Should folks who do stuff like this be REQUIRED to have insurance? It's considerably more dangerous than just driving a car, for which we require insurance.
Something to think about if it comes back next year... Or maybe require the organizers to post some kind of bond?

Charitable Gift Annuities
Gift Annuity Honors Wheatlake Parents
Burton Wheatlake and his sisters, Lois and Joy, practically grew up on the Westminster College campus. Their father, B. C. J. Wheatlake, was on the Westminster Board of Trustees from 1927 until his death in 1964. He was interim president of the college in 1952-53. Their mother, Florence, served on The Westminster Woman's Board for 40 years. Both Wheatlakes earned honorary degrees for their tireless support.
While the senior Wheatlakes focused on Westminster's success, Burton created his own identity as a student. He played basketball, football, track and tennis while earning an Associates degree in Chemistry in 1935.
Upon the deaths of Burton's parents, family and friends commemorated their dedication to the college by creating scholarships in each of their names. Burton wanted these scholarships to be as significant as the people for whom they were named. To this end, he contacted Westminster to discuss adding funds to the scholarship funds.
Burton owned stock with significant appreciation, but he dared not sell it due to the capital gain tax obligation. Nor did he want to give the stock to Westminster outright as he would lose potential for future income. He chose a charitable gift annuity as a means of giving to his parents' scholarships while also receiving income.
By giving the stock to Westminster, Burton avoided or postponed a large capital gain tax. The college used the proceeds from the stock to create the charitable gift annuity that will pay him 11% return on the stock's market value for the remainder of his life. Any principle that remains at Burton's death will be divided between the Dr. B. C. J. Wheatlake and the Dr. Florence Wheatlake Scholarships.
"An annuity with Westminster is a win-win," says Burton. "I waived much of the capital gain tax. The income is great. And, best of all, the funds will forever honor my mom and dad."

Alternating between wearing white underwear and a tank top – or nothing at all – Cyrus clearly ignores all construction site guidelines when she uses a sledgehammer to bust apart a concrete room and writhes around on the rubble.
As the lyrics "All I wanted was to break your walls/All you ever did was wreck me" suggest, the Terry Richardson-directed video could symbolize a destructive relationship. Or, it could symbolize how she's tearing down preconceived notions about what the former Disney darling is really like.
Or maybe she just really enjoys swinging on giant balls?
