Rhetorical statement: Another huge game tonight. Maybe the hugest?
A win tonight and Portland takes the season series with the Spurs with the possibility of improving its playoff seeding. The catch? The Blazers have not won in San Antonio in 11 tries. The Spurs beat the Thunder last night to win 50 games for the 10th (yes, 10th) consecutive season, putting them in some rare company.
Mike Barrett on tonight's game:
We are in San Antonio now, and the Blazers have a huge opportunity ahead of them. Not only can they pull into a three-way tie with the Spurs and Rockets at 50-28, with a win, but can win the season series from the Spurs. This would be huge, if the teams happen to end in a tie.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Rockets move ahead of the Spurs, and if that happens, it's likely going to be the Blazers and Spurs in the fourth and fifth spots. So, this game on Wednesday night, could very well be for homecourt advantage in that first round series. I know a lot could happen before we get to that point, but it's at least possible.
More than all of this, it's a chance for Portland to beat an elite Western Conference team, on the road- something that's only happened once this season.
The San Antonio Express News will be hosting a live chat during tonight's game.
Dave's preview at Blazer's Edge:
The loss of Manu Ginobili for the season makes the Spurs a lot closer to a .500 team than a championship contender. But that doesn't mask the fact that they are slowly but surely headed that direction anyway. Nor does it mask the fact that despite that, they aren't there yet. This teams still wins with or without its main players. In fact there are only two types of teams the Spurs have lost to in the last few months: serious playoff teams and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Blazers will need to prove they're one of the former if they want to win tonight.
San Antonio's defense is decent, though not at the stellar level of their heyday. They neither block shots nor force turnovers. They just play smart, position defense and try to force you into contested shots, which they are then happy to rebound. They have the highest defensive rebounding percentage in the league. They are 4th in the league in points in the paint allowed. They want you shooting over the top with a hand in your face. They do not foul and bail you out either. You earn your points or you don't get them. Opponents don't take many threes against them but the ones they do take they tend to hit. The Spurs either get out there and prevent the shot or cede it to you. With enough inside pressure offensively the Blazers may be able to make some inroads from the three-point arc tonight.
Tonight's contest is going to come down to a couple of things. The first is what kind of game the Blazers bring. It doesn't matter who the Spurs throw out there, if Portland is going to be sloppy with the ball like they were in Memphis and turn it over 12 times in the first half...doom. If Portland is going to play without energy on the defensive end...doom. There is a certain amount of energy and execution that you have to play with to beat the top teams in the NBA. Portland can never quite stay at that level on the road, hanging around for a while before a run kind of ends it. It would be nice to go into the playoffs having gotten a big road win because the intensity will be ramped up times 1000 in a couple weeks. Back to tonight, Portland will have to focus on the Spurs "other guys". We know what Tim Duncan and Tony Parker can do. But those two alone can't win the game. San Antonio needs their role players to step up and take some of the pressure off of Manu's absence. San Antonio is traditionally great at shaking off injuries. If you remember to the last game in San Antonio, Parker got help from everyone. Case in point to people stepping up: Drew Gooden scoring 20 points last night. Guys who I believe can do it? Gooden, Matt Bonner, Michael Finley and Roger Mason Jr. Those are the guys who I could see going off for 15-20. Bonner, Finley and Mason will more than likely get great looks from behind the arc. Gooden is a wild card but he just had 20 and obviously is gaining freedom and health so you never know.
Dwight Jaynes calls tonight's game a must win:
If San Antonio can win, I believe it pretty much locks Portland out of the top half of the Western Conference bracket. With tough home games against the Lakers and Nuggets (unless the seedings are all settled and the Nuggets take it easy next week), the Blazers will have their hands full improving their positioning without winning this one.
Isn't a game like this -- second of back-to-backs for both teams, late in the season -- an example of a case when having a young, deep team should pay off a little? Hard for me to imagine that Duncan and Tony Parker and some of the other San Antonio graybeards can be very fresh tonight.
Pregame thoughts from 48 Minutes of Hell:
No one is certain if Tim Duncan will play tonight, so it's pretty difficult to throw up a meaningful preview. It's not inconceivable that these two teams will meet in the first round of the playoffs, which would seem to favor San Antonio. The Blazers are 31-7 at home this season; they're 18-21 on the road. That's a pretty sharp drop. Portland has lost 11 straight in San Antonio. So, Duncan or not, this should be a good game. If anything, it will be fun to see how the Spurs develop their post-Ginobili rotation and whether Gooden can string together a series of impressive outings.
Brandon Roy is the seventh most clutch player in the league, in terms of point production (via TrueHoop).
ESPN's David Thorpe hands out his rookie awards, with Rudy Fernandez earning a spot on the All-Rookie Second team:
Rudy Fernandez, Trail Blazers: Plays a key role for a solid playoff team. He made a number of game-saving and game-winning plays, and combined excellent outside shooting with smart play overall.
Nada for Greg Oden, however.
Speaking of the big man, Brian Libby has some numbers concerning Oden:
Now let us see how Oden compares per 48 minutes of play to some of the NBA's great big men. Shaquille O'Neal is having a comeback season with the Suns even if they may miss the playoffs. He's averaging 18.1 points per game and 8.6 rebounds. That translates into 28.7 points per game and 13.7 rebounds.
Greg Oden is rebounding better than Shaquille O'Neal. This year.
Then there's Yao Ming. He's averaging 19.6 points and 9.8 rebounds in 33.4 minutes per game. Switch that to per 48 minutes of play, however, and Yao's numbers translate to 28.1 points and 13.9 rebounds.
Greg Oden is rebounding better than Yao Ming. This year.
How about Tim Duncan? He's really a power forward as much as a center, but a premiere big man of his time either way. Duncan this year is averaging 27.8 points and 14.8 rebounds per 48 minutes this year.
Greg Oden is rebounding better than Tim Duncan. This year.
Mr. Wendell Maxey (with a slick new look), Alaa Abdelnaby Talks Rip City:
They've taken some flak for their lack of experience during the regular season. But how does that translate to the playoffs? Is there really a big difference mentality wise once the postseason arrives?
There is a huge difference in the playoffs because of a few reasons. First, they are a new team to the playoffs as far as the major pieces to the puzzle. How will they respond to the moment? They are inexperienced when it comes to their roster. For instance, Rudy Fernandez has never seen that environment. How he responds will be a good indicator of their collective progress. In other words, they need him to play like he did in last year's Olympics.
Second, the game is played differently in the playoffs. It's a more deliberate game being played which means every possession becomes important. The playoffs separate the men from the boys. You have to be mentally resilient to succeed and young teams are usually lacking in that department. The moment consumes them and they become afraid to fail.
That is what veterans have and "youngins" don't. You can't manufacture mental toughness. In my opinion, experiences bring that toughness. That being said, I'm not saying that young teams can't advance - just not far. When matched-up against veteran teams, young teams usually struggle. Also, don't forget: 7 games in a series usually means that the best team wins.

This is the first of many. Big-time news here. Over the past week or two, we've been going back and forth with a website called Rivalspot. They are helping to lead the charge in providing video-gamers a place to put their money where their mouth is, letting users play for money in video-game tournaments. It's 100% legal. No questions asked. The folks at Rivalspot have been accommodating enough to let us organize a Pensblog-only tournament, so we're gonna do it. This first tournament will be free to enter. With this free tournament, we are trying to gauge how Rivalspot is run and how smoothly everything operates before we can tell you to start putting some money into your Rivalspot account. But from everything we've seen and been told, Rivalspot's handling of these NHL10 tournaments is the real deal. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER WITH RIVALSPOT CLICK HERE TO REGISTER WITH RIVALSPOT CLICK HERE TO REGISTER WITH RIVALSPOT Some quick info: 1.) The tournaments will be held 7:00-11:00pm EST on Friday, August 6. 2.) This first tournament is free to enter. 3.) This is for both XBOX360 and the PS3. 4.) Champion of each tournament wins free copy of NHL11. 5.) Each tournament has 16 open slots. For this free tournament, the slots will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. As soon as you see this post, run over to Rivalspot, register, and reserve your spot. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER WITH RIVALSPOT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DEPOSIT ANY MONEY FOR THIS TOURNAMENT. ** This first set of tournaments is free to enter because we want to see how all this goes down. After this tournament, though, it will be buy-in tournaments that will include anywhere from 16 to 64 players with some pretty good money going to the winner. *** NOTE*** Some people have been asking how to join the tourney. Once you sign up for an account, just click the "FEATURED TOURNAMENT" tab on the home page menu bar: Just click on that and you are gold. Expect a Royal Rumble tourney to decide the champion of NHL 10 before NHL 11 comes out. — The main sticking point for these video-game tournaments: How in the hell can the website verify the results from a game? It's ridiculously simple, although it takes some legwork from the video-gamer to initially set everything up. Every recent EA Sports title gives you the option, whether it's in their game menus or online at EA.com, to have the results, stats, etc., from any game you play online to be automatically e-mailed to an e-mail address of your choice. This feature, however, seems to have disappeared from the NHL10 title. But thankfully, EASports.com has all game-results information on their website. Here's what you have to do: 1.) Go to EASports.com and register an account, if you haven't already. Follow the instructions that will tie your XBOX/PS3 gamertag to your EA account. (Step-by-step directions for this is at the bottom of this post) 2.) To check if your account is set up properly, replace XXX in the links below with your gamertag, and your recent activity will be shown: PS3: http://www.easports.com/player-hub/ps3/xxx XBOX: http://www.easports.com/player-hub/360/xxx 3.) Any other questions, check out the Rivalspot FAQ. Head over to Rivalspot and get the job done. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER WITH RIVALSPOT Tying your PS3 Network I.D. or XBOX360 gamertag to EASports.com: 1.) Head to EASports.com. 2.) In the top right corner of the site, register an account. For your "EA I.D.," just pick whatever you want. It doesn't have to be your gamertag. 3.) After you've registered an account, go back to EASports.com homepage and login. 4.) Once logged in, you will be on the EASports.com homepage. Scroll down till you see "Customize My Sports World." Click "My Profile." 5.) Your profile page will show some weird 3D avatar on the left. Below it, you'll see "My Personas." Click "Add Persona." 6.) At this page, you will type in your PS3 or XBOX name. 7.) Finally, you'll have to tie your gamertag/I.D. to your EA account. In the NHL10 menus, go to XBOX LIVE > My Online NHL10 > Online Settings > EA Account Settings. Then put in your EA account information. PS3 players, substitute "PlayStation Network" in that menu list to whatever you use. ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About TPB Staff View all posts by TPB Staff →

Oswego, NY -- Tourism officials from across New York state -- including Oswego County -- recently traveled through Canada to promote the state as a tourist destination for Canadian travelers.
Oswego County partnered with representatives from the Thousand Islands-Seaway Region for the tour led by the state Division of Tourism.
"This is the second year that we have participated in this event," said Kelly Jordal, public information officer with the Oswego County Department of Community Development, Tourism and Planning. "It is a great way to showcase Oswego County to those in the Canadian travel trade, who can be effective partners in our promotional efforts."
Mor than 200 travel operators and journalists attended the three-day tour which included stops in Ontario and Quebec. Presentations were held at Casa Loma in Toronto, the U.S. Ambassador's residence in Ottawa, and the Mt. Stephen Club in Montreal.
"The U.S. currency exchange rate continues to attract international visitors to New York state," said David Turner, director of the Oswego County Department of Community Development Tourism and Planning. "This, combined with the close proximity of our northern neighbors, makes the Canadian market a valuable source of tourism dollars. This event is a good opportunity to meet with them and highlight the many attractions of Oswego County."
According to Statistics Canada, New York state is the most popular U.S. destination for Canadian travelers with a 17 percent share of visitors. In 2007, the last year for which figures are available, Canadian travelers spent nearly $900 million dollars in New York state.
Representatives from the Thousand Islands-Seaway Region included Kelly Jordal of Oswego County Community Development, Tourism and Planning; Tillie Youngs of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council; Teresa Mitchell of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail; and Ellen Nesbitt of the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.
For more information about tourism, attractions or events in Oswego County, call the Oswego County Promotion and Tourism Office at (800) 248-4FUN (4386) or go to this Web site .

Jill Lepore: Dred: Waiting for the Supreme CourtRoundup: Historians' Take
Jill Lepore is a staff writer for The New Yorker and is the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University.
The worst decision the U.S. Supreme Court ever issued was delivered on March 6, 1857, a Friday. Like the Court's decision on the Affordable Health Care Act, the decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, regarding the constitutionality of the Missouri Compromise, was anxiously anticipated—even if, by modern standards, everything about it was sluggish.
The ruling had been postponed until after the Presidential election (not a bad idea) and then until after the inauguration. On Wednesday, March 4th, Chief Justice Roger Taney administered the oath of office to James Buchanan, who proceeded to deliver one of the lousiest inaugural addresses of all time. In it, he expressed his contentment with the forthcoming decision of the Supreme Court, whatever it might be. As for the legal matter at hand, the extension of slavery to new states entering the union, "this is, happily, a matter of but little practical importance," Buchanan remarked. "Besides, it is a judicial question, which legitimately belongs to the Supreme Court of the United States, before whom it is now pending, and will, it is understood, be speedily and finally settled. To their decision, in common with all good citizens, I shall cheerfully submit."
This, of course, was hogwash. Buchanan had lobbied for the postponement of the ruling, and had also pressured at least one Justice, a Northerner, to join the Court's pro-slavery majority. Indifferent he was not....

Working for a newspaper, I often feel as though I'm observing history from a ringside seat. When I visited Istanbul a few years ago, my favorite uncle, Salvador Taranto, told me the story of a direct encounter with history--an encounter in which history might easily have swallowed him up.There's more, and it is worth reading the whole article.
It was late December 1942. Salvador, my father's elder half-brother, was a 25-year-old Turkish citizen living in Marseilles, in the south of France, which the German army had occupied the month before. He was also a Jew. (When I tell people my last name, they often ask if I'm Canadian, since the English pronunciation is similar to "Toronto." In fact, Taranto is of Italian origin and is a common Jewish name in Istanbul, where my father was born and raised.)
The Nazis were not yet deporting Jews from Marseilles, but Salvador wisely decided to leave. "I wrote a letter to the Ministry of Interior [in Vichy, the occupation capital], telling that I am a Turkish citizen of Jewish religion, and, as you don't want foreigners and Jews in France, I would like to receive my exit visa."
Salvador was called to the local prefecture and asked to present his passport. He complied, though he feared it would be confiscated. But the news was good. "OK, you have an exit visa from France," a local bureaucrat told him. "But you have to leave within three or four days." There were no passenger ships to Istanbul, Salvador recalled, so the only way to get there was by rail. "The next day, I took the train--I left."
He traveled overnight to Milan and went to the Consulate of Croatia, a nominally independent fascist puppet state. There he made the mistake of saying he was Jewish. "After half an hour, they told me, 'Sorry, you cannot have a Croatian visa.' " He waited outside, and when the consul left for lunch, Salvador confronted him to demand an explanation. "I know that you are [a] Jew," the diplomat told him, "so I cannot give the visa."
Salvador proceeded to the Turkish Consulate, where he was advised to travel on. Aboard the train, a passport-control officer told him that before he even got to Croatia he would need a German visa to travel through another portion of occupied Yugoslavia. He got off in Trieste, Italy, and went to the German Consulate, where he applied the lesson he had learned in Milan. The Germans asked his religion, and he said "Musulman"--French for Muslim. They asked his parents' names. He said his mother was "Aisha," a common Turkish name, "instead of Rebecca," because, as he told me, "Rebecca is a name [that is] 100% Jew." His father's first name, Vitali, was Italian, so it didn't arouse suspicion. He got a visa, valid for 24 hours.
Then came the most unnerving part of the journey. A border guard at the Italian city of Postumia (now Postojna, Slovenia) turned him back, saying his visa was valid only at Fiume (now Rijeka, Croatia), some 50 miles away. To get there before the visa expired, he had to hitch a ride on a freight train. When he crossed into German-occupied territory, a Nazi officer wearing a swastika armband was waiting to greet him.
"He told me, 'Welcome.' He brought me to a wooden house: 'You will sleep here.' " It was dinnertime, and the train onward would not come until morning. In the officers' mess, a large portrait of Hitler hung on the wall, looking down on Salvador. After a meal of soup and bread, it was on to the guesthouse. "I didn't undress, because . . . I thought they were looking at what I was doing. . . . I didn't sleep, because I was afraid." In the morning one of the Nazis summoned him when the train arrived. In an act of kindness that today is hard to fathom, the Nazi gave him "a big piece of bread" to tide him over for the trip.

Sleepwalking most commonly occurs during the first third of the sleep cycle. Some sleepwalkers may also mumble during sleepwalking episodes and occasionally obscene words may be uttered. Medications are rarely necessary to manage sleepwalking episodes.

Colnago C60 Road Bike Frameset
Colnago's ultimate goal was to improve, previous models and make the C60 more efficient, with less rider fatigue and no sacrifice in strength or reliability. The design is striking, the frame's characteristics and technical advantages stand out and are not completely hidden inside the frame.
Star-shaped tubes are a proven design element and have become a signature design element for Colnago frames. It is from this proven design, with the goal of increased frame efficiency without significant sacrifice in comfort or strength, with which the Colnago C60 was born.
In the Colnago C60 Italia various cross sections of tubes have increased volume, thinner walls and drastic tube profiles. No attention to detail was spared. The rear dropouts have been completely redesigned for reduced weight and increased lateral stiffness. Even the water bottle mounts were redesigned to reduce weight while maximizing strength.
Improvements from the Colnago C59 model to the C60 Model:
- The C60 features new tube shapes and its matching shaped lugs.
- The second major difference is the new oversized downtube.
- In favour of a round tube shape, the seat tube becomes strongly asymmetric as it reaches and enters the bottom bracket lug.
Bottom Bracket Lug:
- The heart of the new C60 is the bottom bracket. The dimensions of this masterpiece, especially when compared to that of the C59, have been created to ensure the ultimate in lateral stiffness.
One Piece Dropouts:
- Another new feature introduced with C60 are the forged, CNC-machined one-piece dropouts. With the C60, Colnago has worked hard to make the connection between the frame and the rear wheel a true masterpiece.
- Colnago C60 frames painting, handmade in Italy, one by one, every frame is unique!
UCI Approved:
- This frame is approved by the International Cycling Union and therefore used in all races recognised by the UCI.
Please note, this listing is for the Frameset only (Frame, Fork, Headset). Not the bike as pictured.

Pneumonia is named for the way in which a person gets the infection or for the germ that causes it.
Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) occurs outside of hospitals and other health care settings. Most people get CAP by breathing in germs (especially while sleeping) that live in the mouth, nose, or throat.
CAP is the most common type of pneumonia. Most cases occur during the winter. About 4 million people get this form of pneumonia each year. About 1 out of every 5 people who has CAP needs to be treated in a hospital.
Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia
Some people catch pneumonia during a hospital stay for another illness. This is called hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). You're at higher risk of getting HAP if you're on a ventilator (a machine that helps you breathe).
HAP tends to be more serious than CAP because you're already sick. Also, hospitals tend to have more germs that are resistant to antibiotics (medicines used to treat pneumonia).
Health Care-Associated Pneumonia
Patients also may get pneumonia in other health care settings, such as nursing homes, dialysis centers, and outpatient clinics. This type of pneumonia is called health care-associated pneumonia.
Other Common Types of Pneumonia
Aspiration Pneumonia
This type of pneumonia can occur if you inhale food, drink, vomit, or saliva from your mouth into your lungs. This may happen if something disturbs your normal gag reflex, such as a brain injury, swallowing problem, or excessive use of alcohol or drugs.
Aspiration pneumonia can cause pus to form in a cavity in the lung. When this happens, it's called a lung abscess (AB-ses).
Atypical Pneumonia
Several types of bacteria—Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae—cause atypical pneumonia, a type of CAP. Atypical pneumonia is passed from person to person.

About Paymark
Established in 1989, Paymark is New Zealand's leading electronic
payments provider and is owned by four major banks. Its network
processes more than 75% of all electronic transactions in New
Paymark offers services to merchants, card issuers and acquirers
for EFTPOS, eCommerce, mCommerce and ATM payment and
related transaction processing. More than 73,000 merchants and
100,000 terminals are currently connected to the network, which
processes up to 127 transactions per second.
The Challenge
As Paymark operates in a field where providing the highest level
of security to customers and protecting them against data
security breaches is paramount, the company needed to
effectively control the widespread use of portable storage devices
and manage the risks they introduce. At the same time, Paymark
required all the files used and transited by their personnel to be
encrypted as part of their security policy. On the other hand, they
needed to implement a security approach that would allow their
employees to continue to make use of all devices that helped
them increase productivity, rather than blocking their usage altogether.
Another technical challenge was to implement an endpoint
security solution that would seamlessly integrate with other
security applications Paymark was using, as their in place solution
would not work well with other software, such as their antivirus.
They needed the same or a higher level of security without
causing other applications to malfunction.
The Solution
Paymark started their search for a data loss prevention and
endpoint security solution that would best meet their needs.
They compared four different applicatons developed by CoSoSys,
McAfee, Symantec and Devicewall. They choose CoSoSys'
Endpoint Protector for its ease of use, speedy deployment and
natural integration in the existing software and hardware
platform. Additionaly, they added EasyLock to their security
application range, to be able to force encryption on all portable
storage devices used by their personnel.
Endpoint Protector's ability to centrally grant or deny rights for
the use of specific device types in real time was an essential
requirement for Paymark, as it allowed them to keep
administrative efforts for the IT department to a minimum. With
the integrated Endpoint Protector Reporting Tool, Paymark can
now audit effectively the usage of different kinds of devices by
their employees, while being able to directly and immediately
respond in case of unsound device use.
The implementation of Endpoint Protector and EasyLock in
Paymark's software infrastructure has resulted in an increased
overall systems and network security.
About CoSoSys Endpoint Security Solutions
CoSoSys helps businesses and public institutions to protect their
sensitive information and confidential data. As a Device Control
and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution, Endpoint Protector
eliminates the risk of data theft and data loss. Its rich set of
features goes beyond controlling and managing portable device
use. It allows for a detailed analysis of all data transfers with File
Tracing and File Shadowing or the proactive limitation of what
files are allowed to be transferred with File Whitelisting. The
additional options of enforcing encryption of data on portable
devices in combination with the portable EasyLock software ads
an extra layer of securing data in transit.

Competition is a great thing. It's a big reason why the AT&T and T-Mobile acquisition is looking less likely to be approved. As long as there are multiple companies fighting over a section of the market, the more likely the customers are going to benefit from cheaper services and more options. We're keeping that in mind while pondering what online shopping will be like if Google were to take on Amazon Prime. The Wall Street Journal says Google is in talks with retailers such as Macy's, OfficeMax and Gap to offer a shipping service that could, in theory, offer same day delivery on items.
Unlike Amazon, Google won't actually be selling or shipping anything. Instead, it'll use existing services such as Google Shopper to determine if the item a customer wants is in stock locally. If it is in stock, the retailer could offer super fast shipping for going through Google. Google is also believed to be talking to shipping and courier services as well.
The motivation behind this is simple to understand. Google is no longer content with just helping people find products they want to buy. Google is essentially providing links (and therefore potential dollars) to retailers such as Amazon when people want to buy products. It's gotten to the point where people search for products using Amazon instead of Google. Google wants to leverage all its relevant properties such as Google Wallet and Google Shopper to make online shopping through Google as convenient as performing a search.
If Google can provide a worthwhile alternative to Amazon Prime, which offers free two-day shipping for $79 a year, it'll gain credibility as a company that is involved during every step of an online transaction.

The teams then decided to cycle back and forth.
The Flyers dictate shit on the 4-on-4, and Malkin goes to the box for a hook.
Fleury had to make save city on Claude Giroux.
The Flyers spent most of that first half of the period in the Pens zone.
The Pens got their first chance that made you get out of your chair,
Malkin and Parent went racing for a loose puck.
Whatev whatev.
He jobs it into the zone, Kunitz grabs it.
After a big-time commercial break, the Pens were all business.
Stevens looked like someone tea-bagged his mom.
Flyers fan boo their team when they can't connect.
Now, this is the biggest PK of the series.
Hartnell takes an unrealistic run at Hal Gill at the end of the period.
Does that include making 3,000 people run their televisions as opposed to one screen?
If the Pens wouldn't get into the flow of it instead of playing survivor, it was gonna be bad.
- John Steven's on Bing's goal:
"Marty's got to be allowed to make a save," Stevens said. "He knocked Marty into the net. If he gets pushed into the net, it shouldn't be a goal."
"It's a dangerous play when you're kicking the puck around the crease for the goalie. It's a dangerous play when you're sliding in both feet first toward the goalie," Biron said. "I don't really like that. It's not the first time where he's done that and drives the net."
— Marty Biron
- Flyers 0 for 8 on the powerplay
- 0 for 8.
- 0 for 8.
- 0 for 8.
- Devils stunned:
And lastly, the Blues are the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs:

'Top Chef' contestant will appear in court on charges of possession of child porn
A Top Chef: Just Desserts contestant from last fall is scheduled to appear in court next week in Collin County on charges of possessing child pornography, reports the Plano Star-Courier.
The west Plano man, Morgan Wilson, 38, was arrested last year in December after under cover investigators linked Wilson with several files on Limewire that allegedly contained images of young children engaged in sexual acts. He was charged with three counts of possession with intent to promote child pornography.
Wilson is listed as the executive pastry chef for the Ritz-Carlton's Lobby Lounge. The Plano Star-Courier reports he was released from jail nine days after he was arrested in December 2010 on a $10,000 bond and the condition that he have no access to a computer without having a monitoring software.
The pastry chef was featured and named second runner up in last fall's first season of Bravo's Just Desserts.

A Reputation for Notorietyby Diane Gaston
Raising the stakes...As the unacknowledged son of the lecherous Lord Westleigh, John "Rhys" Rhysdale was forced to earn a crust gambling on the streets. Now he owns the most thrilling new gaming establishment in London.Witnessing polite society's debauchery and excess every night, Rhys prefers to live on its fringes, but a mysterious masked lady tempts him into the throng.Lady Celia Gale, known only as Madame Fortune, matches Rhys card for card and kiss for stolen kiss. But the stakes are raised when Rhys discovers she's from the very world he despises....
Scandalizing the Tonby Diane Gaston
Lady Wexin, once the Ton's foremost beauty, has been abandoned by her family and friends, and creditors hound her. Her husband's scandalous death has left her impoverished, and the gossip-mongering press is whipped into a frenzy of speculation when it becomes clear the widow is with child. Who is the father? Only one man knows: Adrian Pomroy, Viscount Cavanley. He has cultivated the reputation of a rake, but in truth yearns for something useful to do. Delicate beauty Lydia Wexin could pose an intriguing--and stimulating--challenge. . . .
The Unlacing of Miss Leighby Diane Gaston
Disfigured in battle against Napoleon's forces, Captain Graham Veall has become a recluse, spending months alone on his estate and appearing masked in public. Yet Graham is determined not to forgo life's pleasures forever. . . especially the delight of a woman's touch. He hardly expects virginal Miss Margaret Leigh to respond to his advertisement for female company, thinking he sought a lady's companion. Still, the impoverished vicar's daughter is a surprising temptation he can't ignore. His proposition? That she live with him for two months as his mistress in exchange for supporting her and her brother for the rest of their lives. But Margaret has a secret. Graham once saved her life as a child and she has dreamed about him ever since. As he awakens her desire, she longs to soothe his inner wounds--though only two months with her damaged hero may not be enough. . . .
Valiant Soldier, Beautiful Enemyby Diane Gaston
A soldier's second chance Captain Gabriel Deane has known his fair share of pain, but he'd take a dagger to the chest rather than relive the torture of rejection from the woman he loves. Saying no to Gabriel broke Emmaline Mableau's heart, but being a soldier's widow had already cost her family too much. Now she wears Gabriel's ring around her neck: a reminder of the man who can never be hers. Two years later, Emmaline's hand trembles as she goes to knock on Gabriel's door. Now she has a proposal for him, but will he say yes?
The Vanishing Viscountessby Diane Gaston
A woman of innocence and notoriety. . . The prisoner stood with an expression of defiance, leather shackles on her wrists. Adam Vickery, Marquess of Tannerton, was drawn to this woman, so dignified in her plight. He didn't recognize her as the once innocent, hopeful debutante he had danced with long years ago. Marlena Parronley, the notorious Vanishing Viscountess, was a fugitive. Seeing the dashing, carefree marquess of her dreams just reminded her that she couldn't risk letting anyone, especially Tanner, get caught up in helping her escape. He would face the same punishment she did. The hangman's noose.

text: Well, I clearly missed your point. Your "rely" is a declarative statement intended for static checking, as you clearly stated; mine is an operational one, and I referred to run time checking. Let's declare it my first stupid remark of the year We have a policy of allowing each person 3 really stupid remarks per meeting (at the level of 2+2=3), and we don't like it when people never make any. Our philosophy is that you'll never say anything smart if you're afraid of saying something stupid. We just declare it stupid, everyone has a good laugh, and we move on. We avoid going down a lot of rat holes that way. I do have one question about your example. What does it mean to declare rely(Foo) in one place and suspect(Foo) in another? Either Foo obeys the contract, or it does not. I had thought that "suspect" propagated the way taint does in Perl, but I don't see that in your example. Is that your intent? _________________________ Alan Karp Principal Scientist Decision Technology Department Hewlett-Packard Laboratories MS 1U-2 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 (650) 857-3967, fax (650) 857-6278 https://ecardfile.com/id/Alan_Karp http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Alan_Karp/ >

Smartwool PhD Ski Medium Sock - Men's
The best snowsport sock I've ever owned. I don't get…
Materials: 78% merino wool
Use: wintersports of all kinds
Break-in Period: none
Weight: -
Price Paid: $6
The best snowsport sock I've ever owned. I don't get to ski much, but I wear these mountain biking, hiking in winter, trail running: you name it. They are particularly great for hard mountain biking in the dead of winter because the extra cushioning on the shins keeps me warmer against the head winds. The shin cushioning works well to protect the ankles when my Torre GTX's need to be cinched up tightly.
The socks honestly do everything advertised extremely well. I don't need to dispute any of their claims, only affirm them. You cannot go wrong with the PHD line.
Where to Buy
Smartwool Men's PhD Ski Medium Sock
currently retails for:
$17.73 - $25.95

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
I've said this once, and I will say it over and over and over again, Ballers are groupies for strippers. No one truly knows why, but they are. Ballers will spend absurd amounts of money on strippers, they will date strippers and they will wife strippers. They won't admit it, but they do it all the time. Boxer Adrien Broner just proved that fact with this video.
Basically Broner drops $15,000 in the club and starts feeling himself. Apparently feeling himself so much he thought it was appropriate to damn near have sex with a stripper on stage. Homie needs an intervention. This was the same guy who was arrested earlier this week after a fight broke out at LIV in Miami.
Watch the video for yourself. Come get your cousin!

If you're like a lot of kids, you probably spend time sitting at the computer, doing schoolwork or playing games. But whether you're writing a report about aardvarks or zapping aliens, using a computer can be tough on your body. How?
Sitting for a long time in positions that aren't natural for your body can strain your hands, wrists, back, and eyes. Over time, this can result in pain and a kind of injury called a repetitive stress injury.
The way you sit is important. To sit square in your chair, put your behind in the center of the seat. Your legs should bend at the knees and rest on the floor. Most kids are too short to do this, so use a footrest or find a box or a stack of books to place under your feet.
Sit so your back touches the seat back the whole time. Try not to slouch or lean over the keyboard while you type. A chair that has lower-back support can help you do this.
When you type, sit so your elbows are bent at 90-degree angles (like an "L"). Your wrists should be straight, not angled up or down so your fingers rest gently on the keys of the keyboard. And if it feels like you have to stretch your fingers to reach the keyboard, move it closer to you.
Try to keep your fingers and wrists level with your forearms (the lower part of your arms). A wrist wrest can help you stay in the right position. If your wrists are starting to hurt, or you are waking up at night with wrist pain, you may be getting an overuse injury (this is also called carpal tunnel syndrome). If you're having this kind of pain, let your parents know. You might need to see your doctor.
A small wrist rest also can help support your right hand as you move the mouse (some mousepads have wrist rests built into them). Using a trackball instead of a mouse is also a good solution. A trackball allows you to use a few fingers, instead of just one, as you move around the computer screen.
Any time you're using the computer, your eyes are hard at work. Be kind to them by positioning the monitor 18 to 20 inches (46 to 51 centimeters) away from your face. At this distance, you shouldn't have to lean in to read what's on the screen.
Position the screen at your eye level, with the top of the monitor itself level with your forehead. This will keep you from having to lean your neck back (or bend forward) to see the monitor. Your mom or dad can help you get adjusted. They can help you raise the monitor a little higher by stacking a few books under it. You also can raise the height of the chair or sit on a pillow or two.
Here's a good piece of advice: Don't get so involved in the computer that you forget to go to the bathroom! And even if you don't have to go to the bathroom, be sure to take breaks. Kids shouldn't sit at a computer for more than 30 minutes without a break.
When it's time for a break, start with your eyes. Focus on something far away by looking out a window. This gives your eyes a rest from all that focusing on the computer monitor.
Then you'll want to give your body a break, too. Try to move your muscles. Go for a walk, shoot some hoops, or dance in front of the mirror. Doctors recommend only 1 to 2 hours of screen time per day — which includes TV, the computer, and computer games. Make computer time just one of the activities you do instead of the only thing you do. Your body will thank you later!

Product Description
Deco Gel Acid Stain is an acid-based gel of minerals and acid designed to adhere without drips or runs on vertical surfaces, borders, or other similar projects. Deco Gel Acid Stain has been specifically designed for use on vertical applications, such as retaining walls, columns or garden décor, including statuary and cultured rocks. Deco Gel can be used in conjunction with our liquid acid stain for projects that have both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
The best thing about acid stain is its ability to infuse concrete with rich and deep color tones. Depending on the color and application techniques used, the results can mimic everything from polished marble to natural stone or even stained wood. Something else to remember about concrete stain is that no two projects will look alike! Application, color selection, concrete surface conditions and environmental factors all play important roles in the final outcome.
Deco Gel is perfect for stenciling and borders on acid stained floor or concrete countertop projects. Because the product doesn't drip or run, Deco Gel gives our customers more application control without sacrificing color or the appearance the acid staining process is known for.
Deco Gel is also available in individual sample sizes and sample kits for smaller projects and testing. View our Deco Gel Photo Gallery for project and color ideas.
Key Deco Gel Acid Stain Features:
• Only gelled Concrete Acid Stain on the market today!
• No drips or runs on vertical surfaces. Perfect for accent colors on any project
• Ideal for borders, vertical surfaces, statuary, garden décor, intricate designs/stencils and free-hand art
• Covers 150-200 sq. ft. per gallon depending on porosity and surface texture.
• Apply using a foam brush or foam roller. Artist brushes can be used for close work.
• Detailed How-To Instructions included with every purchase

One of the most beloved Phillies infielders of all time returned to Citizens Bank Park on Monday night in a Cincinnati Reds uniform.
Scott Rolen was back in town, too.
This was Wilson Valdez's first appearance here since general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. traded the sure-handed utility man to the Reds for pitcher Jeremy Horst just a few weeks before the start of spring training.
Valdez, 34, was loudly applauded before his ninth-inning pinch-hit appearance. He won the hearts and minds of Phillies fans during his two seasons with the team, but the obsessive concern after the January trade with the Reds was still somewhat startling.

Tell us a little bit about your growing up years.
Well, I was born in Bombay and lived there until I was 21, when I came to the U.S. I was raised in a joint family, which meant I grew up around very loving aunts and uncles. And since I was an only child, it helped to have all those extra adults in my life, for love and guidance. I've always had many sets of parents and even today, have a knack for "adopting" parents.
What do you remember most about growing up in Bombay?
I have two overriding childhood memories or impressions: One, was always being excruciating aware of the poverty around me. Now, as a middle-class kid, you're not supposed to be that aware of--or certainly not supposed to be tortured by--the poverty around you. It's a defense mechanism of sorts, to be able to ignore it. For whatever reason, I was never able to ignore it and to some extent, it really affected my childhood, made me a hypersensitive child.
Two, I always wrote. Writing was my way to make sense of the world outside and inside my home. Despite the recollections of the adults in ...

Hi Jay,
Many thanks for getting back to me.
I did previously try creating a new profile, and that seemed to work.
I tried transfering over just the mail components to the new theme
(i.e. just the Mail folder), but none of the Mail showed up.
I did re-install TB and as I said that was an improvement (I could
actually access all my mail archive).
Is there a particular procedure for transfering data from one profile
to another other than just moving files and directories around.
Many thanks in advance
On Apr 19, 5:03 am, Jay Garcia

It was too early for national politics. The sky was still black. Curiosity won out. Flipped on Hawaii Public Radio. Turned on the tube for visuals. President Barack Obama's second, ceremonial inauguration was just getting started.
The sun had just crested the northeast flank of Haleakala when the president was sworn in. He took his place behind a lectern surrounded by shoulder-high bullet-proof glass. Obama turned the lectern into a pulpit, preaching a sermon about government responsibilities and the need to transcend political philosophies and obstinate naysaying. Nothing much new.
Over coffee and after going through The Maui News, turned to a biography of Thomas Jefferson written by Jon Meacham. Ran across a paragraph that echoed the president's speech.
" 'It was a real fact that the Eastern and Southern members (of Congress) . . . had got into the most extreme ill humor with one another' " leading to an atmosphere marked by " 'the most alarming heat (and) the bitterest animosities.' "
Jefferson wrote those quotes at a time when the foundation of a federal government was shaky and there were serious doubts about the survival of the United States as a republic. It was 1790.
The temperature in the house hovered around 60 degrees. A space heater fought a losing battle with the chill. I'd smoked the last cigarette, a prod to get moving. Making the five-minute run to Morihara Store for smokes has become an almost daily ritual. On that Martin Luther King holiday, it became politics in the parking lot.
He was a stranger, but like most islanders who have the time, was willing to talk story in the process of meeting someone. He couldn't have been more local. His father was an immigrant. His family had moved to Maui from Oahu in 1963. He had attended both old Maui High in Hamakuapoko and the new Maui High in Kahului. "Going from the beautiful old school to the new one was a shock," he said. "The new school looked like a prison without fences."
"Did you catch the inauguration this morning?" I asked.
His face lit up. He was no fan of Obama's. "He's a communist," my new friend said. "The economy is worse than it's ever been and he wants to increase the debt to take care of everyone who won't take care of themselves."
"I'm not against him because he's black," he said. "I'm dark too and I'm glad Hawaii is American." He paused and added: "I'm a Republican. Always have been."
"One of the things I don't like about politics today is the name-calling," I said, trying to get him off the presidency. "You disagree with someone and he's a liar."
"Well, Obama IS a liar," my new friend said. "Just read his books."
He had to get going. We shook hands and exchanged names. I made a note to avoid politics the next time we met. Heated disagreements about politics or religion are not the island way. It's too rude.
It was a beautiful morning, just the thing to prompt a ride out to Ulupalakua. The road beyond Keokea is a delight of many curves and vast vistas. Pushing the pace means forgetting to look at the scenery. No chance. Relax and look around while following a tourist car.
There's a stream of rental cars going the opposite way. The hour of day made it likely they were coming from Hana. Some decades ago, rental agencies used to tell drivers to stay off the road between Kaupo and Ulupalakua. It's a cruise today. Except for a few miles of dirt and puka puka asphalt, it's a smooth run on undulating pavement.
Bad economy? The number of cars on the road and in the parking lot of the winery argued otherwise. Another sign of the times was some miles beyond Kahikinui and its scatter of houses. White blades rose and dipped from behind a ridge. High-tension power lines glittered in the sun.
A view spot had been carved out of the a'a. Metal stands had been erected but the informational panels hadn't been installed. Sempra U.S. Gas & Power and BP Wind Energy, along with landowner Ulupalakua Ranch, have been conducting a public relations campaign on television.
The $140 million, 21-megawatt Auwahi Wind project is impressive. The eight turbines sit 428 feet high. According to Sumner Erdman, money from the land lease will help Ulupalakua Ranch maintain open space and grazing areas for cattle. The Erdman family is determined to keep the ranch going as it has for 165 years.
It's another indication Maui can be kept Maui despite national politics and the world economy.

Buckets' Videos
Buckets' Story
Buckets grew up in Phoenix with nine brothers and sisters. If you're watching his family's home videos and wondering which one he is, look for the five-year-old who cut a hole in his dad's hat so he could shoot tennis balls through it. It must've helped, because years of practice made him one of the most accurate shooters around (hence the name "Buckets"). He can fill it up in many different ways, like when he broke the Guinness World Records® record for the most basketball underhanded half-court shots in one minute, dropping six – one more than the previous record (he actually made those six shots in 46 seconds). He eats a bowl of cereal every night before he goes to bed. Maybe that's the secret.
