Please explain the point of this statement - it seems to just be confusing the debate. You are saying that it would have been entirely legal for owners to institute a league wide salary cap... without union involvement, correct? If so, you are proving my point in that the union is entirely unnecessary. Everything that was accomplished to salvage the NHL (grow league revenues) was done in spite of the union, not because of it.
So, please explain why we need a players union causing lockouts? What tangible benefits do us fans receive as a result of the NHLPA? The league could exist without the NHLPA... but not the other way around.
The word you are looking for is "collusion". The same reason why anti-poaching agreements between Silicon Valley companies are illegal. I believe 'sibiriak' is saying that without CBA and union there can be no league-wide salary cap.
NHLPA is meant to provide "tangible benefits" to its members, the NHL hockey players. Without players there is no league.

AUGUSTA — There he was, Tianlang Guan charming Augusta National as his mom followed along under the pines with extra juice and snacks for her busy 14-year-old.
Soon after, the poor kid looked like he'd been told to repaint the fence.
It all happened so quickly Friday, the drawn out slow-play flap.
The youngest player in Masters history survived a stodgy 1-stroke penalty on the 17th hole and made the cut.
The best story of the tournament almost turned into an international incident. Maybe this is why Condi Rice is a new member.
"I respect the decision they made," said Guan, who speaks good English. "I think they should do it; it's fair to everyone."
It was not a ridiculous decision; no one likes slow play. And Guan played, uh, deliberately on his way to a 75.
But it was a terrible spot in golf's time/space continuum for rigid enforcement.
Tiger Woods was a man among boys when he won the Masters by 12 shots in 1997.
Guan is a boy among men, in the most wonderful way.
Guan is 14, a target age for golf's game-growing effort.
He's from China; billions of golf opportunities beckon.
And the enforcer was right out of central casting, John Paramor, a large European Tour chief referee with over 35 years of experience and a thick British accent.
"No, it's the Masters" Paramor said (slowly), "the Masters competition."
Paramor said he warned Guan five times about slow play; Guan said it was once. Guan blamed the wind for his frequent need to change clubs.
'Applicable rules'
Masters rules allow for 40 seconds to play a stroke.
"In keeping with the applicable rules," said Masters Competition Committees Chairman Fred Ridley, "he was penalized following his second shot on the 17th hole when he exceeded the 40-second time limit by a considerable margin."
Otherwise, it's been a nice spring break for Guan. Though he qualified by winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, no one realistically expected much here.
Instead, the eighth grader brought homework from his middle school and shot 73 on Thursday.
Kids peeked between grown-ups on their tiptoes to watch the 14-year-old take on Amen Corner. Guan made a tightrope bump-and-run to set up a par-saving putt on the par 4 No. 11 hole.
The kid (aka "The Kid") certainly isn't shy. He wore a bright orange shirt Friday (decorated with a small Chinese flag on the chest) and light plaid pants.
Tim Bourret, Clemson's longtime sports information director, was on hand to follow Lucas Glover, the former Tiger and 2009 U.S. Open champion. Bourret also wore an orange shirt.
"I can't write about Guan in my Masters blog," Bourret said. "It would be an NCAA violation."
14U playing up
Guan at 5-8, 140, isn't the longest driver at the Masters.
Then again, not many other guys in the tournament will grow out of their golf shoes by next April.
Usually, "playing up" for a middle schooler means a 14-year-old boldly bumping up to 15U soccer, baseball or lacrosse. Guan was outplaying PGA Tour vets a few decades older.
Unfazed, he almost chipped in on No. 1 on Friday.
What a tale.
Who else has as many clubs in the bag as years on earth?
Playing partner Ben Crenshaw, the two-time Masters champ, said he "felt sick" for Guan after the penalty.
"When you get the wind blowing out here, believe me, you're going to change your mind a lot," Crenshaw said.
Paramor broke the 1-stroke news to Guan's parents after they noticed an odd scoreboard change on the 18th hole. It was a short explanation.
"Nothing really," Paramor said. "Just, 'It's happened.'"
Any regrets about zapping a 14-year-old?
"I feel that every time I go out, that's my job," Paramor said. "That's what I do."
Guan said he would be "grateful" to make the cut.
He maintained a childlike spirit, penalty and all.
"I think it's still a great week for me," Guan said. "I've enjoyed it and I've learned a lot."

The San Juan Symphony will finish its �Season of Appreciation� with the music of two of history�s most appreciated composers.
Saturday�s �Nature� program will include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart�s Concerto No. 21 in C Major for Piano and Orchestra, K. 467 and end with Ludwig van Beethoven�s Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68, which the composer titled �Pastoral� when he completed it in 1808.
The opening piece will be �On Hearing the First Cuckoo of Spring� by Frederick Delius, a lesser-known British composer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
�We�ve chosen three pieces that just feel like spring,� Music Director Arthur Post said Wednesday night during his �Musically Speaking� preview of Saturday�s concert.�Beethoven believed that music is best when it conveys emotions instead of trying to paint a visual picture.�
�Pastoral� was written during the same six-year period that Beethoven composed his most famous Symphony No. 5, but the two pieces couldn�t be more different. In stark contrast to the power of the Fifth, Beethoven�s Sixth Symphony conveyed his love of the countryside. His own notes read: �Pastoral Symphony � whoever also treasures country life can discover for himself what the author intends.�
For Mozart�s instantly recognizable piano concerto, the symphony will follow the lead of young Chinese pianist Zhu Wang. The 14-year-old has won numerous competitions in China and internationally, including the 2011 Hilton Head International Young Artist Piano Competition in Hilton Head, S.C. Post happened to be a judge for the competition and he and Zhu will fly back to South Carolina next week where Zhu will perform the concerto again.
Both the Mozart concerto, which gained pop-culture fame as the theme to the 1967 film �Elvira Madigan� and has appeared on many ensuing soundtracks, and Delius� �On Hearing the First Cuckoo of Spring� are a bit more melancholy than �Pastoral.�
�Springtime is joyous, but Delius� piece is mixed with all sorts of nostalgia and sentimentality as if maybe spring hasn�t really arrived,� Post said.�Think of it like last week�s weather after we thought it was already spring � you�ve already heard a little bit of it, but now you wonder if there�s more.�
�Nature,� the fourth and final concert of the 2011-2012 San Juan Symphony season, will be repeated Sunday at the Henderson Fine Arts Center in Farmington. Next year�s season will begin in September.

5 Ways You're Accidentally Making Everyone Hate You
Have you recently had friends, co-workers, or strangers suddenly get pissed off at you for what seemed like no reason at all? Maybe you told yourself that they were overreacting or being too sensitive, or that they had no right to be angry when you clearly didn't mean to do whatever you did (and in fact aren't even sure what it was). If you're a socially inept type like me, I bet you've had this happen within the last month.
Well, I'm here to help. Fortunately, I am the nation's foremost expert on social missteps, with more than 30 years of experience in the field (some of you know me as the best-selling author of I Couldn't Help But Notice Your Father's Corpse Had a Boner: The Psychology of the Socially Awkward Man, MacMillan, 2008), and I have found that the answer to "Why is everyone suddenly mad at me?" is usually one of the following.
Hint: It's almost always about power.
#5. It's Not What You Said, It's What You Didn't Say
For those of us who aren't great with people, we figure that silence is always the safest bet. If you're an introvert, you spend so much of your time wishing that other people would just shut the hell up that you figure you're doing everyone a favor. So, you run into a co-worker at the mall and think it's better to pass by in silence than do an awkward stop-and-chat that you'd probably screw up anyway.
Then, after you pass by this person, you hear them in the aisle behind you mutter, "Asshole."
"Maybe next time I'll just forget to pick up my roller skates from the stairs."
So What's the Problem?
This is literally the most frequent social mistake I see in my day to day. You didn't respond to the party invitation. You didn't reply to their funny text with a smiley. You didn't wish them a happy birthday. Now they're bitter and you're confused because, well, who would ever assume that silence is an insult?
Lots of people. In fact, to certain personality types, not speaking is the most bitter insult possible. Yes, worse than "shitblimp."
If you're confused, think of it this way: If you apply for a job, which is worse -- a rejection letter, or no reply at all? The former is bad, but the latter is dismissive, and that's a thousand times worse. (Note: By far the angriest reaction I get to hate mail is when I don't reply at all.) That's how some people take your failure to speak to them -- like you didn't even open their resume before tossing it in the trash.
"Oh, you wanted an interview, too? Sure, why don't you tell me all the ways you can go fuck yourself?"
See, there is an old saying: Hate is not the opposite of love. Apathy is. For many people, you'd be better off telling them to fuck off, because at least then you're acknowledging that they matter.
So Keep in Mind ...
This is about power. Everything is.
The offended parties are assuming that you think you're so high and mighty that they don't even rate a response, and that your silence is a kind of power play intended to let them know that. And if you think it's weird that anyone would interpret a casual everyday interaction as a power play, well, hang on to your ass, because you're about to discover something incredibly important about the world.
That children are dicks, and they will attack you without warn- oh, wait, no. The power thing.
For instance, another way you've probably earned instant hatred from someone is ...
#4. You Accidentally Asserted Power Over Them
Let's take a really common situation: You get so drunk one weekend that, while having back seat sex with a stranger, you start uncontrollably shitting all over your car. You find out later that cleaning the stains from the upholstery will cost $200.
So you're at work the following Monday and you're telling your sex shit story to the guy in the next cubicle, because why not? It's a funny story. But for some reason, the guy starts avoiding you after that. And no, it's not because he was disgusted by the story -- he tells worse stuff every day.
"So I figure, why not fuck him until the cops get there, right? Turns out there's a law against that."
So What's the Problem?
You just asserted your power over him. You didn't do it on purpose. But you did it anyway, and it's the sort of thing we accidentally do all the time.
In this particular example, you told a story that involved A) you having sex, B) doing it in a car, and C) an expensive clean-up bill. Meanwhile, the guy you told the story to is a single dad who A) hasn't had sex in three years, B) can't afford a car, and C) can't waste $200 on drunken mistakes because he has a kid.
So in his eyes, you're like that douchebag at your high school reunion who desperately tries to wedge a dozen stealth boasts into the conversation: "And then while I was in PARIS I found out my MAID accidentally broke a $5,000 VASE and my wife was late for her PHOTO SHOOT because SHE'S A MODEL and I had to hire a TAILOR because every pair of pants I buy is TOO TIGHT IN THE CROTCH." That guy is a douchebag because he's clearly trying to remind you that he is in a higher social and economic position than you -- he has the kind of "problems" you would kill to have. He is, in other words, trying to assert his power over you. That's why we hate people like him.
"Glad you could make it, buddy! Welcome to the high life. Tonight, you get to pretend you're not poor."
So Keep in Mind ...
This unspoken power dynamic is always at play, whether you acknowledge it or not. In any conversation between two people, one person is going to be more successful than the other, or more attractive, or smarter, or physically stronger, etc. -- there are all of these invisible "ranks" where one of you has risen over the other on society's ladder. Both of you will be aware of them, but neither of you is allowed to mention them. A good example is this video where everyone at the table is pretending to be equals, but under every word is the unspoken understanding that it would take the physically superior Dan about 45 seconds to incapacitate the other three, if he chose to:
For many of us who are insecure about our "rank," the subject is basically an open wound. So not only must the subject be avoided, but courtesy demands that the higher person has to pretend to be the lower. So, this leads to the absurd situation where you can be talking to the dude who won the Nobel Prize in astrophysics, but the second he looks at you and says, "I'm smarter than you," you will hate him for life -- even though both of you know it's true. The boss who acts like your buddy and phrases his or her assignments as requests ("Hey, can you get that report over to accounts by the end of the day?") is cool, while the boss who says, "Do what I say because I'm the boss and you're just a minimum wage peon" is an asshole ... even though nothing changed other than the phrasing.
This bizarre charade seems to go double for women -- this is why pretty female comedians like Tina Fey pretend to be ugly and why Jennifer Lawrence has to make constant jokes about how gross and ugly she is, just minutes after posing for yet another magazine cover.
Look at that disgusting piece of shit.
The trouble with us less-than-social types is that we assume we're never the person in power, in any situation. That's why it's so easy for us to fall into this -- if you were never one of the cool kids, you assume that everyone is confident but you, that they don't have these open wounds you can accidentally touch. So, you freely tell a story about what a bitch your mom is being, and all the other guy can think is, "Really? Mine died of cancer a year ago."
But the thing you have to remember -- and this really goes for anything on this list -- is that the fact that it was accidental really means nothing. Any interaction that results in other people feeling worse about themselves will still count against you in your "Why I don't like talking to this person" score. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just explaining why they don't invite you to parties anymore.
#3. They Think You Owe Them
Have you ever broken up with somebody and had them bafflingly claim, "I can't believe you would just leave me like that! After everything I've done for you!"
Or did you once refuse to do a favor for somebody for what seemed like a good reason (say, you couldn't help them move because you had work that day), only to see them get really, really pissed off? Almost to the point that they're acting like you were paid for the work in advance and then didn't follow through? Like they thought you owed it to them?
Or maybe the other person has suddenly stopped speaking to you, making it clear that you've wronged them somehow and thus "owe" them an apology or some other form of restitution. This may even cause you to think they should apologize to you for overreacting, creating a stalemate that lasts until the day one of you refuses to attend the other's funeral.
So What's the Problem?
There's a really good chance that the last person who got annoyed with you for seemingly no reason at all did it because you failed to pay a debt you didn't even know you owed. There's this weird thing where in most relationships, and maybe in every relationship at one point or another, both parties think the other side is in debt to them.
Most bad marriages work that way. The wife thinks, "This guy was a lonely mess before I came along, who knows where he'd be if it wasn't for me rescuing him! Probably dead!" Meanwhile, the guy thinks, "I'm the breadwinner, I gave her this nice house, if not for me she could have wound up with some scumbag who beats her! Probably to death!" Both of them think they're the martyr in the relationship, selflessly sacrificing while the other does nothing but take. Each is shocked and pissed off when they find out that the other person is working from a different balance sheet.
"Oh, man, I just realized that I don't have to put up with your stupid shit! This changes everything!"
Your workplace is probably like this as well -- everybody in your department thinks they heroically keep the place afloat with their tireless labor, while the boss thinks you're a bunch of slackers for whom the company generously puts food on the table. You're shocked and insulted when the company heartlessly announces layoffs ("Where's the loyalty?!?"), and the boss is shocked and insulted when any of you quit without notice ("That ungrateful bastard!").
Hey, do you remember that Simpsons "Poochie" episode where Comic Book Guy is outraged about the declining quality of the show, and the following exchange happens?
Comic Book Guy: As a loyal viewer, I feel they owe me.
Bart: For what? They're giving you thousands of hours of entertainment for free. What could they possibly owe you? If anything, you owe them.
Comic Book Guy: Worst episode ever.
And then Cartman says something about sucking his balls and then Bender farts. I don't know my cartoons.
Guess how many people have written to me saying that I "owe" them because I wrote a free article they didn't like. It's in the thousands.
So Keep in Mind ...
The key is that in every case, the other person desperately wants you to be in debt to them. Because, you guessed it, that would give them power over you (who has the power, the bank or the borrower?).
But, again, they can't be up front about how or why they perceive you to be in their debt -- they just get angry when you fail to "pay." And once again, you're left with someone who's pissed off at you for what to you seems like no reason at all.
"But I did the dishes! You owe me sex!"

I appreciated the layout of this course by the instructor. The lessons were easy to read and apply to the Lightroom 4 program. I totally enjoyed being able to read and find answers to quizzes and most important the final exam. Thanks, Beverly. I will enjoy taking other classes taught by you.
I have taken the Elements 9 courses and this is just what I needed to round out my editing and organization needs. I have a large collection of negatives, slides, prints and digital images going back decades. These courses will allow me to catalog the material and pass on to my children and grandchildren. Thanks for having the classes available.
I enjoyed taking this course and hope to take others. I learned a lot and have already put that new knowledge to work.
Beverly and her team always do an excellent job. I asked my college for this course a couple of years ago and I am so glad it is now available. The instructors make LR4 seem so easy!
Another excellent photography course from Beverly Schulz! I've taken several of her classes and have found all of them informative, fun, and challenging.
What stands out about this course to me was the discussion area's assistant, Eric Johnson, who answered my questions pronto and very clearly. Another stand out was the well written course material by Beverly Schulz. Her resourceful experience is shown through examples in the lessons to supplementary material and FAQs...Her personality comes through in her writing and she is fun--and makes it fun.
Thanks, Beverly. This is another great course of yours. It is always a delight to take a course from you, as you really know how to clarify, illustrate and instruct about simple and more complicated topics. This really was a lot of fun.
Taking Lightroom 4 was one of the best decisions I've made. I went from being a complete novice to being very comfortable in using Lightroom 4 every day. Beverly and her assistant Eric were great! They were very quick and thorough to answer any questions. The lessons were laid out in an easy to follow format, supported with great resource material so one can dig deeper into the subject at hand and become more knowledgeable. I highly recommend any course Beverly and her team teaches!
This is the first online course that I have ever taken. I was very impressed at the professionalism and level of course detail. I have been telling everyone how great an experience it has been. There was also much more work and time required than I expected, but it was appropriate for the level of course detail.

It would be great to hear some other ideas, and we're not sure the list of potential developers should be limited to Rocco Termini – though he has been tremendously successful in restoration projects – but there is a lot to like about the ideas percolating between Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, and his friend Termini regarding the old DL&W terminal.
Higgins' idea is to leverage the ongoing Buffalo waterfront projects into a plan to put vacant space at the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western terminal back into use, possibly through a public market that could also feature a restaurant and water access that would make the site attractive to boaters, especially boaters who savor the aroma of freshly baked Cheerios.
The terminal's ground floor has been home to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's Metro Rail maintenance facility since 1984, but the upper floor has been essentially vacant since 1962, when the DL&W's successor, Erie-Lackawanna, ended passenger service.
Ideas have come and gone for the building's reuse, and, this being Buffalo, nothing came of any of them. But this is a new day for the city. The waterfront area is humming with activity, including construction of a new hockey and commercial complex planned for the Webster block, the reconstruction of the old Donovan State Office Building into a hotel and law offices, the construction of faux canals and commercial venues on the former site of Memorial Auditorium, the completion of the Erie Canal Harbor public space and new construction at the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino.
Activity begets more activity; with those attractions operating, or soon to be, the waterfront area is becoming a magnet for residents and visitors, alike. This is the right moment to look closely at leveraging that activity to spark interest in other projects that have languished. The old DL&W terminal ranks high on that list.
Higgins has a record of getting things done, so it is to the benefit of Buffalo and Western New York that he has set his sights on this project. That also goes for Termini, who turned the rundown Hotel Lafayette into the sparkling Hotel @ the Lafayette. But while a market might be a fine use for that space, it would be useful to hear other ideas, as well.
Because the NFTA has been marketing the site for more than 20 years, there may be an opportunity to exempt Termini from the normal process of submitting a request for proposals.
The question is whether that strategy best meets the public's interest in developing this space, especially since Termini says the project would require millions of dollars in taxpayer money.
It is an exciting time around Buffalo's waterfront and other parts of the city where construction is suddenly booming. A project to reuse the DL&W terminal would only add to the sense of possibility as Buffalo awakens to its life in the 21st century. These ideas should not be allowed to sit on a shelf for another two decades.

Beano Cook always used to joke that "once you hit 70, you're in overtime."
The entire college football sports world - and much of the sports world, really - stopped Thursday when it was learned that Cook, the lovable and glib college football historian, passed away in his sleep at 81.
He lived 11 years of overtime.
He's been called a legend - and he was, a pioneer of the concept of the pre-game show while working at ABC.
ESPN labeled him "the pope of college football," and, indeed, no one talked about Frank Leahy's teams at Notre Dame (1946-53) with the same knowledge and passion as today's SEC, last year calling the league "better than the NFC West."
I met Beano 30 years ago while covering the Pirates for the Beaver County Times.
On Sundays, he'd hold court in the Pirates' media room behind a stack of Sunday newspapers. Surrounded by the likes of Bob Smizik and Stan Savran, giants in Pittsburgh sports media history of whom I had been in awe, Beano welcomed me to their table to share the many laughs.
When it was time for the first pitch, the guys would filter out.
"Where you going?" he'd wonder. "This [shooting the bull] is better than the game."
He knew I had gone to and covered Penn State, which was part of his playful motive.
"They're arrogant," he'd blare in his deep voice. "Sanctimonious."
Beano, you see, was a Pittsburgh native who spent 10 years (1956-66) as Pitt's sports information director, thus his love-hate relationship with Penn State.
He had returned to Pittsburgh after stints with CBS and ABC (Howard Cosell emceed his going-away party) and spent the last 25 years as a regular on TV and radio in Pittsburgh and on ESPN.
His commentary, funny and blunt, favored political and military references, outside-the-box predictions and, definitely, home underdogs. He'd regularly pick Penn State and Notre Dame, and if they won, it wouldn't sting as much because, well, he picked them.
He loved storytelling - in print or in press boxes - and lived for someone (usually him) to say, "That's a good line!"
For several years, I was the ghost writer of his national notes column - first for the Football News, then ESPN.com - and we spoke on the phone often.
He loved the crime dramas and after always answering, "McGarrett" or "Columbo," it was largely a monologue, and if you didn't have 30-plus minutes, you practically needed a doctor's excuse to end the conversation.
"Ahn-believable," he'd say - his signature phrase - before adding something more unflattering.
But he was good to me and the Mirror, often mentioning us in some kind of Penn State context during an ESPN segment. Consequently, my parents would get calls from relatives around the country, saying, "They were talking about your son on the radio."
They weren't. Beano was, for which I was appreciative.
He never forgave Joe Paterno or Penn State for ending the football series - and more recently he's carried on, correctly, that the basketball teams, men's and women's, should still be playing.
Back in the day, he liked coming to Rec Hall for basketball and wrestling, still loved the lobster bisque at the Nittany Lion Inn and conducted an ESPN sitdown with Sue Paterno about 10 years ago.
He respected Joe Paterno but thought he had too much power and was saddened by his death.
That didn't stop him from, as he'd say, "sticking the needle in."
Shortly after the NCAA sanctions were announced in July, he interrupted dinner. Too drained to engage, I relayed that I'll call him later. He couldn't resist telling my wife, Dianne, "Just ask him how the Grand Experiment is going."
A half-dozen years ago, he made good on a promise to come to Altoona for a Saturday night summer dinner - "you're buying!" he said. Another protege, John Lukacs, drove him over since Beano had no car, and we convened the family, including my father-in-law Joe DeLeo (Pitt grad) and Mike Irwin, close friend and 1966 Penn State captain.
"My junior year, we opened up with Michigan State," Irwin started telling Beano.
"Yeah," Beano interrupted, "23-0 [Michigan State win]."
Everybody but me was stunned by his amazing recall.
His physical health declining due to diabetes (part of his foot was removed several years ago), Beano's recent communication was mainly limited to the phone. We did have lunch in late August, a couple of first downs from his apartment in the Midtown Towers in Pittsburgh.
Pitt SID E.J. Borghetti joined us. Like me only more so, he had been mentored by Beano, and he ceremoniously bowed on one knee to appropriately honor the moment.
Beano was not an advocate of marriage, often bragging, "I don't have a car, a wife or an ex-wife," and several years ago, when E.J. announced his engagement, his father, a former Pitt football captain, said, "How are you going to tell Beano?"
Beano was upbeat during our lunch, saying recent cataract surgery had allowed him to "read the agate type" and he was looking forward to another football season.
He was hospitalized a week later.
As recently as Saturday, on my way from the Penn State-Northwestern game, he sounded good, wanting to know details, attendance figures, and, of course, who was in the press box.
Beano always said he wasn't afraid of dying, "just of being infirmed," and he never wanted to die during the football season.
"I'm asking [God] once the season starts, wait until the championship game is over," he said of a parting wish several years ago. "I want to know who is No. 1."
Among the sport's ambassadors and all-time classic characters, he is easily No. 1, advocating the college game over the NFL, feeling like there's nothing like an autumn Saturday with all of its traditions - be it at Notre Dame, Army, Pitt, Penn State, Yale, LSU or, as he would rave, "the USC song girls!"
Never married - and chiding friends who were - Beano had no children, no siblings and no close relatives, and yet he left a nation of friends throughout college football.
I'm very proud and grateful to be one of them.

It came as terrific news to many -- as expected -- but the resumption of the Penn State-Pitt football series also surprisingly elicited plenty of "Eh, what's the big deal?" reactions Tuesday.
"It's just another game," longtime PSU fan Clark Adelman of Altoona said.
Sounds crazy.
But after talking to several dozen people throughout the afternoon and evening, it came as a surprise to hear a large number of them express similar sentiments to Adelman's.
The rivalry used to be great, they said. It used to be special when the teams played every year and closed the regular season against one another.
To play for just two years, in a home-and-home situation, and have the games in September doesn't exactly thrill some PSU fans.
"Penn State going down to Pittsburgh, they're gonna sell out Heinz Field, it's gonna be the biggest game of their season probably and they will bring a lot of money in for that game," Adelman said. "But for Penn State, it's not gonna make one darn bit of difference."
People like Adelman would rather see that non-conference opponent be a bigger national name like Alabama or Notre Dame.
Or perhaps Miami, which was slotted into the Nittany Lions' 2016 and '17 schedules before backing out, forcing Penn State to go looking for a replacement and finding Pitt as a willing partner.
"I'll take Notre Dame or Alabama any day over Pitt," Joe Buffone of Bellefonte said. "Penn State's got nothing to gain. If they win, they should have. If they lose, it's, 'How the heck did you lose to Pitt?'"
That feeling of superiority by PSU -- or at least the perception of it -- is something that has long angered the Pitt camp and its fans. The series would not have ended if it were up to the Panthers, but they blame Joe Paterno for holding a 30-year-old grudge because Pitt didn't want to join his Eastern all-sports conference.
"I think the Pitt people want to play; they've always wanted to play," said Beano Cook, longtime college football analyst and former sports information director at Pitt.
"It was Paterno [who didn't]. To me it's unbelievable that a series that started in 1893, that the football coach can stop the series, which means the football coach has more power than the president."
Cook went on to add, "Basically I like [Paterno] 80 percent of the time. The other 20 percent of the time I find him vindictive and childish."
It's not all Pitt's fault, either, that the school didn't join Paterno's conference, according to Cook.
"The way Penn State wanted to divide the TV money ... Pitt was against that," he said. "Penn State wanted to take more money for television."
Altoona native Troy Benson played for Pitt in the early 1980s and was on the losing end of arguably Penn State's greatest moment in the series -- a 48-14 thumping of the No. 1 Panthers and quarterback Dan Marino in 1981.
"You had to bring that up," Benson said with a laugh Tuesday night.
Benson made a good point about the series renewing when he said, "I'm not that excited because it's not 2012. It's 2016. Realistically, the chances of JoePa being there are probably not that great. I just can't imagine the series five years from now. It's not that exciting yet."
It would be exciting, Benson added, if the teams finally find a way to play every year.
"I'm glad that they're playing and mad that they should have been playing all along," Benson said.
No matter what negative aspects people are bringing up now, they're sure to be singing a different tune come game week in 2016 and '17.
"How this area gets when the Steelers go on a playoff run is how that week will feel," Ryan Humbertson of Altoona said.
Humbertson is a Pitt alum (1998), while his wife graduated from Penn State (1999). They have good-natured arguments about which school is better, and Ryan has had bragging rights for 11 years since Pitt won the last meeting in 2000.
"She'll talk about how Penn State's a much better overall campus and atmosphere and experience to go to school, and I'll talk about how we put more people into the NFL, or better people into the NFL," Ryan Humbertson said.
There's also some good smack talk aimed at that perceived Penn State superiority complex.
"Penn State has such a great, long history and everything," Ryan said, "but I'll remind her that they haven't won anything since 1986."
Humbertson was at least fair with his criticism when he added, "Pitt hasn't either."
Cook said, "It came as a pleasant surprise" to find out the series would be resuming, and many fans feel the same way.
"I want to thank Tim Curley for giving us a game on the football schedule we care about," Joe Preschutti of Boalsburg, a 1970 PSU grad, said about the school's athletic director.
"I think people should just be happy that now they're gonna play in [five] years, and after that, who knows what's going to happen," Penn State football historian Lou Prato said.
It's that uncertainty for the long term and the lack of commitment for a game every year that makes the series feel so different from its heyday.
"It just doesn't have the meaning anymore -- it won't have the meaning anymore -- because of the fact that ... once we went into the Big Ten that changed the complexion of everything," Prato said.
"A lot of the people that are going to the games now don't even remember Pitt and Penn State playing," Adelman said. "We've been in the Big Ten for so long now."
Benson said he thinks the two schools will have to someday be in the same conference for the series to be played on an annual basis. Cook disagrees and says it can be done, pointing to rivalries such as Florida-Florida State and Georgia-Georgia Tech that pit teams from different conferences.
"What made the rivalry so great ... was that it was like the Michigan-Ohio State or USC-UCLA or Auburn-Alabama," Prato said. "It was the last game of the season, and there were always upsets and spoiling someone's season."
Those things may not happen when the games are played in September, and the rivalry may never be what it once was.
But so what.
It's still Penn State versus Pitt, and that alone will make it special.

His Name is Oscar Grant"His Name is Oscar Grant" says graffiti beneath a mural at 11th St. & Broadway, the mural depicting civic harmony and multiethnic commuters exiting a BART, now re-captioned: "BART Police Armed with Guns Get to go Home With Wife and Kids."
On January 31, 2008, Oscar Grant was shot in the back by BART police officer Johannes Mehserle on the Fruitvale station platform. Police confiscated phones and other video-capable devices from bystanders on the platform, but several videos made it out and onto YouTube, where they went viral and were aired on local television. On January 7, a demonstration in mourning and protest of Grant's killing (and lack of investigation to that point) was held at the Fruitvale BART station. It evolved into a march along International Blvd., around the edge of Lake Merritt and leading to BART offices/headquarters, where police used tear gas and rubber bullets, sending marchers streaming into various parts of downtown. The ensuing "riots" were covered by the national media, although a steady stream of un-edited images and commentary on YouTube, flickr and various independent media sources tell different narratives of that evening, just as cell phone videos from the shooting told a different story than the one BART officials told in the days immediately following the shooting.
Deep Oakland is collecting as many representations of, and responses to these events as possible, from both Oakland residents and media workers. We're interested in presenting community and independent media footage so that these materials can be accessed easily and considered in relation.
We are also interested in tracking and analysis of corporate media accounts of these events, as such accounts continue to construct a narrative and image system around some ideas of Oakland.
If you have written, read, produced or encountered an article, image, video or audio recording around these events please send a link and/or contact to email@example.com.
We will continue posting materials ongoingly.

WARREN - A state worker, the chief deputy engineer in Mahoning County, four ex-township trustees and a former employee of Trumbull County's Engineer's Office are among those on the short list for a job to monitor road issues related to the gas and oil well drilling industry.
The road use maintenance agreement (RUMA) coordinator's position will be responsible for making sure companies meet the requirements of those agreements, follow through on complaints, do road inspections and monitor whether companies are using the designated, approved routes to haul heavy machinery and other equipment.
Pay, benefits and other costs associated with the position are about $90,000. The engineer's office is providing half and participating communities will provide the rest.
About 30 people applied, said Engineer Randy Smith, and eight remain. A three-person selection committee will whittle the number down to three for interviews.
The eight people remaining are:
Larry Norton of Warren, a field inspector assistant with the Ohio Department of Transportation's field office in Girard
Marilyn Sferra Kenner of Boardman, the chief deputy engineer in Mahoning County since 1989
John R. Nemet of Newton Falls, a former supervisor at the General Motors Complex in Lordstown and ex-Newton trustee
Matthew Dohy of Girard, a former engineering technician with the Trumbull County Engineer's Office. Dohy was fired by the former engineer in 2009, filed and then agreed to settle the wrongful termination lawsuit against the old engineer.
Mark W. Crain of Niles, a former foreman and operator with Carl's Paving in Niles
David E. Pugh of Weathersfield, the township administrator there who is retiring in December. Pugh also served as a township trustee.
Jack Simon of Liberty, hired in March to the engineer's road department after working in sales for more than 30 years. He is a former township trustee.
Tom Tracey of Champion, self-employed consultant. He previously was a township trustee, briefly the fiscal officer and he also worked for the ODOT.

7. PHP and FastCGI Performance Optimization
- Posted: May 21, 2012 at 2:27PM
Right click "Save as…"
PHP is a first class citizen on IIS. A lot has been done in order to make sure that PHP can work well and fast on Windows. We will start by installing PHP with PHP Manager and discussing all the options including what thread safe vs non thread safe and VC6 vs VC9 means. Next we'll take a look at how to optimize the FastCGI IIS extension that Microsoft and Zend developed to provide a secure and performant environment for PHP applications.
The last part of this webcast will show how to build PHP with Profile Guided Optimizations (PGO), a technique that can provide a significant performance boost in a wide range of applications.
All the instructions to run the demos are available here. You can also download your free copy of Windows Server trial edition and run it on your favorite virtualization software, on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Liz Sharpe, who writes the Ask Liz column, encountered this snake in her yard last week. She reached out to Sam Tyson of ABCNews4 who checked with a snake expert at Bee City. The expert said the snake was a nonpoisonous hog nose snake who likes to puff up and act as if it is bad, when in reality it is not. It is more likely to roll over and play dead if it feels threatened. Nevertheless, Liz guided him into the woods and out of her yard.

Ted Taylor
Managing Editor/Producer, NewsChannel 21 at Five
I'm going to be honest here - there's a 60-40 chance I'm a journalist today solely because when I was a kid I thought a press pass was like a police badge used for fun stuff.
Three nights a week, my mom and I would meet my dad at Rosenblatt Stadium to watch the Omaha Royals play baseball. And every one of those nights, about the seventh inning, my dad and I would go to the press box door, he'd flash that pass of his and we'd head on upstairs. There was free soda and more foul balls on the roof than I could carry home with me.
That, to me, was being a journalist.
Soon, I realized it was more than that. I watched my dad interview politicians, sports stars and more as a reporter for The Omaha-World Herald and I read how he put words together to make great stories.
I wanted to do that.
I won a young author's contest in fourth grade and started writing for my high school newspaper as a freshman.
Still thinking I had a career as a Major League Baseball pitcher ahead of me, I considered two small-town baseball scholarships before deciding to study journalism at the University of Nebraska.
I worked for the student paper covering murder trials, the state Legislature and sports. I was even inside the State Pen the last two times they executed someone by electric chair. I had summer interns in small-town Nebraska and in small-town Arkansas and won a national writing award along the way.
After college, I covered education - including the Columbine shootings - for the Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colorado. I moved to Bend in 2000 to cover education for The Bulletin, picking up writing awards at both stops.
I tried my hand as a golf professional for a few years, giving lessons here in town at Widgi Creek, but deep down, I was always a journalist. Always a writer.
NewsChannel 21 took a chance on hiring a newspaper guy in February 2010 and I reported on air for a while. I moved on to become the 6 p.m. news producer before moving up again to where I'm at now: managing editor and 5 p.m. producer.
Me being behind the scenes is better for everyone - trust me.
I have a young son, a beautiful wife and the best dog in the world.
I love being part of Bend and helping to tell the stories of the people and events that make this place so amazing.
(Oh, and I really love having a press pass.)

Friday, March 21, 2014
The Dorchester County Coroner has determined the skeletal remains found Thursday afternoon in an abandoned house on Parsons Rd., in Summerville, are that of male who appears to have been dead for more than five years. Coroner Chris Nisbet released that information Friday afternoon.
A call came into dispatch at 3:07 p.m. Thursday from a man who takes pictures of abandoned houses, saying that he found a body, said Nisbet.
Summerville Police responded to 106 Parson's Road by Spell's grocery. However, according to SPD, the address was determined not to be in the Town of Summerville and the investigation was handed over to the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office.
Initially the coroner said the body appeared to be male, judging by clothing.
"I will know more once my anthropologist reviews remains, but it appears that the decedent has been there for a long time," Nisbet said.
"The individual is what I would classify as a skeleton with mummification also. It also appears the decedent was fully clothed at the time they died there or were placed there.

iHeartRadio Music Festival: Miley Cyrus Twerks Post-Split, Plus More Stars!
A slew of artists rocked Sin City for the iHeartRadio Musical Festival, the star-studded bonanza held Sept. 20-21 that pulled together an eclectic mix of top hitmakers and their celebs admirers.
In what essentially amounted to a mega musical mashup, a bevy of chart-topping mainstays, including Elton John, Chris Brown, Robin Thicke, Katy Perry and fun., hit the stage at the MGM Grand – that is, when they weren't schmoozing with one another in between sets.
The shindig also featured Miley Cyrus's first performance since calling off her engagement to Liam Hemsworth.
Taking the stage in a tight white corset top and skimpy white shorts, Cyrus, 20, opened her set with "We Can't Stop" as people dressed as mushrooms, rainbows and flowers danced behind her. She later twerked with a barrage of little people who joined her onstage, happily slapping one's derriere.
At one point, a fan flung a pink bra at Cyrus, which she promptly tossed back at the crowd.
But the mood dramatically shifted when the pop tart launched into an emotional rendition of "Wrecking Ball," tears streaming down her mascara-stained face as she sung, "You'll never wreck me."
Of course, Cyrus wasn't the only one who made a splash at the bash. Check out these pics of the fest's biggest names, who provided ample stargazing ops for an amped-up crowd.

Elton John and TLCCan you say crazysexycool? The Rocket Man rubbed elbows with the R&B songbirds – should we start getting our hopes up for a collaboration? In true Elton fashion, the rock icon electrified the audience with hits like "Bennie and the Jets" and scored a standing ovation by the time he hit his third song.
Kevin Mazur / Getty
Brian May and Adam LambertAdam Lambert's wailing vocals have earned him countless comparisons to the late Freddie Mercury, so it's only fitting that the American Idol vet took the stage with the Queen to belt out anthems like "We Are the Champions."
Kevin Mazur / Getty
Katy Perry and DrakeThe pop star scored some face time with the rapper, just days after admitting that she and boyfriend John Mayer turn up Drake's hit "Hold On, We're Going Home" when they're feeling, um, romantic.

Robin ThickeLooks like his erstwhile duet buddy Miley Cyrus isn't the only one flashing flesh these days: The "Blurred Lines" crooner suffered a wardrobe malfunction when both a button and his zipper popped.

Keith Urban and Jep RobertsonUnlikely pals? The county singer and the Duck Dynasty star rubbed elbows at the fest.

Thanks to Jake Peavy, we don't have to worry about this spring coming and going without anyone fulfilling one of baseball's greatest traditions: players hurting themselves in really stupid ways during spring training.
So what did Jake Peavy do to himself? Oh, nothing really, he just nearly cut his finger off with a fishing knife. From ESPN Boston:
"He's going to be 'no-throw' for three days and then initiate a throwing program off the mound," Farrell said. "It's his non-throwing hand, so he can keep his arm in shape, but he's a scratch for tomorrow.
"This was a freak one. And honestly, he avoided some serious injury with what took place. He cut himself with a fishing knife. He was at home when it took place, he was trying to cut through something and when it gave way, almost cut through his left index finger."
Consider the gauntlet thrown, other clumsy baseball players. You've got got a month to top Peavy, so get out there and bring some harm to yourself in the weirdest way possible.

A rockin' good time awaits anyone who heads out to the Elkins Rotary Club's Fun Night fundraiser, an annual event that has new types of entertainment this year.
In addition to cash prizes, food, a silent auction and a live auction, the fundraising event will feature a rock 'n' roll theme complete with a five-piece band - Tim White and Friends.
"They're going to do '50s, '60s and '70s music," said Rotary member Amy Schumacher, one of the Fun Night organizers, adding that the new rock 'n' roll theme isn't the only change for the popular annual event.

Event chairperson Hoy Ferguson, left, distributes tickets to Rotary members recently, including Sid Gillispie, right. Advance tickets for the night are available through Davis Trust Co., The Inter-Mountain or any Elkins Rotary member.
This year, the Fun Night is set to take place from 6 to 10 p.m. March 9 at the Beverly Volunteer Fire Department - instead of the old Armory location.
One thing that hasn't changed will be prizes, and lots of them. Cash and prize giveaways will be conducted through the night, including one $1,000 prize, four $250 prizes and eight $100 prizes.
Schumacher also said the auctions will feature great items, with everything from unique artwork to a basketball autographed by former professional basketball player Rodney "Hot Rod" Hundley. The Inter-Mountain has donated Pirates tickets to be part of the auction as well.

Schumacher encourages everyone to come out, enjoy the food and entertainment and support a good cause.
"It's usually a fun time to hang out," she said.
Heather Goodwin Henline, another Fun Night organizer and publisher/general manager of The Inter-Mountain, said Fun Night is the Elkins Rotary Club's major fundraiser of the year. It helps pay for Rotary grants and scholarships that are given to area schools and libraries - funds that have a positive impact in the community.
For example, Elkins Rotary donated $5,500 in grant money this summer. Some of those funds supported a summer reading program at Valley Head Library, the purchase of e-books at the Elkins-Randolph County Library and learning materials for special needs students in the county.
"You don't have to be a member of Rotary to come out and have a good time," Henline said about the fundraiser. "Everyone is welcome, and it really is a nice night out."
Tickets may be purchased in advance at Davis Trust Co. and The Inter-Mountain, or by contacting any Rotary Club member. Tickets are $100 per person or couple. The Inter-Mountain can be reached by calling 304-636-2121, and it is located at 520 Railroad Ave., Elkins.

on March 19, 2013 - 11:41 PM
She couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. So she did both.
Katherine Goodman White wept openly late Tuesday morning as she caressed the gorgeous white marble urn now holding the cremated remains of her father, Benny Goodman, a Buffalo handyman who died in July 2010.
When Elmlawn Cemetery President Michael Austin presented White with the new urn Tuesday, replacing the old plastic box holding the cremains, it put an exclamation point on her two-year search for those remains. They were located in late January inside a burned-out Bailey Avenue funeral home scheduled for demolition.
Once her tears of joy turned into a huge smile and plenty of laughs, White explained what the gesture by Elmlawn Cemetery in the Town of Tonawanda meant to her.
"I feel my father's soul is rested," she said. "I feel he's happy, and he's proud of me. I'm keeping him with me. He's not going anywhere."
There also was good news Tuesday for the families – or the souls – of the other 30 people whose cremains were found Jan. 26 inside the charred rubble of the former United Memorial & Moss Funeral Home on Bailey Avenue.
None of the remains will be lost with the demolition of the burned-out funeral home.
Several days after The Buffalo News reported in January the recovery of the 31 boxes, representatives of the Erie Niagara Funeral Directors Association retrieved 28 of those boxes; the building's owner took the other two.
"They currently are in safekeeping at a local cemetery," Henry D. Gartner, the association's counsel, said of the 28 boxes. "We are looking at alternatives for the proper disposition of those cremated remains."
Representatives of the Funeral Directors Association say that it would be difficult to find the relatives of the 28 people, many of whom died up to 13 years ago. By state law, funeral directors are not required to hold on to remains for more than 120 days after cremation.
The association has contacted the Patriot Guard Riders group, which will try to determine whether any of the 28 people were military veterans. If so, those remains could be placed in an aboveground section of Bath National Cemetery in Steuben County.
No matter what happens, White and her boyfriend, Thomas Buono, are thrilled that when the former funeral home on Bailey Avenue is demolished, that won't become the "cemetery" for the other cremated remains.
"That's fantastic news," Buono said of the funeral directors' actions. "They took the initiative to make sure these cremains will be taken care of responsibly and respectfully."
That was double good news for White, who received the urn after Buono called Austin at Elmlawn last week.
White planned to take the new urn home and place the approximately 7-by-8-by-12-inch vessel on a stand above her television set, next to a collage of her father's photos.
"I couldn't bear the idea of him being in the ground after such a long search," she said.
"This is the last step of looking for him after a two-year journey."
White then shared what she "asked" her father: "Daddy, are you satisfied now? Are you happy? Is your soul at rest?"
And what would he have said?
" 'Yes, yes. As long as I'm with you, baby.' "

FORT WORTH, Texas — Van Cliburn, the internationally celebrated pianist whose triumph at a 1958 Moscow competition helped thaw the Cold War and launched a spectacular career that made him the rare classical musician to enjoy rock-star status, died Wednesday after a fight with bone cancer. He was 78.
Cliburn died at his home in Fort Worth surrounded by loved ones, said his longtime friend Mary Lou Falcone.
The Grammy winner had made his last public appearance in September at the 50th anniversary of the prestigious piano competition in Fort Worth named in his honor. To a roaring standing ovation, he saluted many past contestants, the orchestra and the city, saying, "Never forget, I love you all from the bottom of my heart, forever."
"His legacy is one of being a great humanitarian, a great musician, a great colleague, and a great friend to all who knew and loved him. Van is iconic," said Carla Kemp Thompson, chairwoman of the Van Cliburn Foundation, which hosts the competition. "(We) join the international community in mourning the loss of a true giant."
Cliburn skyrocketed to fame when he won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow at age 23 in 1958, six months after the Soviets' launch of Sputnik embarrassed the U.S. and propelled the world into the space age.
He triumphantly returned to a New York City ticker-tape parade, the first ever for a classical musician,— and a Time magazine cover proclaimed him "The Texan Who Conquered Russia."
