The search for more significance in your life may lead you to look outward rather than inward today. You may be inspired to create a more meaningful existence but are unable to find the answers for how to do that in your heart and soul. The answer may lie in finding a way to make a useful contribution to the world. When you help others, you create a purpose that goes beyond your personal needs and contributes to humanity. You may discover that the meaning you once sought in worldly matters can be found in the gratitude expressed by those whose lives you touch. You can build your community today by being of service.
One of the simplest ways to find meaning in your life is to help others whenever the opportunity presents itself. When you spend time with those who are less fortunate than yourself, you gain valuable perspective. As you begin to see the scope of blessings that exist in your life, you can look for new ways to be charitable. Your willingness to look beyond the borders of your own existence and into someone else's with the intention of spreading goodwill can create an echo in which the good you do is reflected back at you. Focus on helping others today, and your life will gain an immediate significance.

Blue skies, leaves turning, the smell of a far-off fireplace, miles of pavement in front of you, beckoning you to drive it – but you need to go topless as there is a greater sense of being alive when you're in the elements. This is fall-driving and whenever you have a break in the weather, as we have enjoyed up until about two days ago, it's still fair-game for a convertible. To be honest, any time we get a break in the weather here in the Seattle area, we're all over the shorts and convertible action with the quickness because Lord knows it doesn't seem to last very long.
- VEHICLE LAYOUT Front-engine, RWD, 2-pass, 2-door convertible
- ENGINE 2.0L/167-hp/140-lb-ft DOHC 16-valve I-4
- TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual
- CURB WEIGHT (F/R DIST) 2587 lb (51/49%)
- WHEELBASE 91.7 in
- LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT 157.3 x 67.7 x 49.4 in
- MT FIGURE EIGHT 26.7 sec @ 0.67 g (avg)
- EPA CITY/HWY FUEL ECON 21/28 mpg
- ENERGY CONS, CITY/HWY 160/120 kW-hrs/100 mi
- CO2 EMISSIONS 0.82 lb/mi
This 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata "Special Edition" is a great vehicle for a great "Fall drive" experience as its heating system and heated leather seats should do a great job of keeping you and your passenger rather toasty on even the most blustery days of Fall – not to mention during the warmer months where you won't have such a need for car's heating properties.
There's a certain loyalty, I've found when talking to Miata owners – yeah, they've heard it all before like "Dude, that's a chick car" etc. – but what captivates most owners is the way these cars drive. Sure they don't have tons of power but they also barely weigh anything so there's no a ton of power needed for it to be a spirited experience behind the wheel.
Our test model came with the 6-speed manual transmission which would by the option I'd go for if I were to buy this car, however, there is also an automatic available with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The stick shift is one of the best available anywhere with its short throws, solid clutch-feel and the overall tactical feel to it.
What makes this care such a joy to drive is not its straight-line performance but its handing of the corners – with a near perfect 50/50 weight split between the front and back , it's liken to driving a large go-kart. No matter how hard you push it through the corners, it'll take it on with all kinds of finesses – in fact, I know of no other sports car anywhere close to its price point that can hang with it through the hard corners.
The trunk space is actually fully usable – unlike so many convertibles which harness the trunk space for the top, this car has a dedicated trunk that's completely separate from the folded roof space.
Inside, it is a bit of a cramped space for larger people, however, the seats are firm and supportive but don't tend to aid in long-term comfort during longer trips. I appreciate how everything is easily in-reach from the driver's seat but the middle console's proximity to the shifter can make using the cup-holders there a worthless endeavor and the power window buttons can be too easily depressed at times when your right arm is in a relaxed position.
Price at just over the $30k mark, this is clearly not a small sports car that will appeal to everyone but then again, it's not trying to. Mazda has created a car that yearns to be driven hard. If you're up the the task, you'll find a car that will reward you with thrills on the back-roads that many will ever experience this side of a car costing at least twice the amount.

Rory Excited to Get Rolling Again
Rory McIlroy had another great season in 2012. The 23-year-old Northern Irishman followed up his 2011 U.S. Open victory with four titles last year, including his second major, the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island where he won by a record eight strokes.
Those performances led to him becoming solidly entrenched at the top spot in the world golf ranking, and a raft of honors, including the PGA Tour Player of the Year, Vardon Trophy, Byron Nelson Award and the European Tour's Race to Dubai title and its Player of the Year.
In 2012 McIlroy duplicated a feat set in 2011 by England's Luke Donald as the only players to win the money-list titles on both the PGA and European tours. He also had a pretty decent Ryder Cup at Medinah, going 3-2-0 and helping the Europeans retain the cup with a victory in Sunday's singles over Keegan Bradley.
After an eventful off-season, during which he signed a 10-year contract with Nike that some estimate to be worth $250 million, McIlroy will be teeing it up for the first time competitively in 2013 at the $2.7 million Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
He'll be paired in the opening round of the European Tour event with No. 2-ranked Tiger Woods, another big Nike athlete, and Germany's Martin Kaymer, who's won the Abu Dhabi title three of the past five years.
On Tuesday, McIlroy met with reporters and discussed his wonderful 2012 season, the deal with Nike and his budding friendship with Woods. Here's what the likable Ulsterman had to tell the media during a wide-ranging conversation.
MODERATOR: Thank you very much, Rory, thanks, as always, for your time, welcome back Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. A fairly quiet week for you this week so far.
RORY McILROY: Not much going on, no.
MODERATOR: It's been a very busy week, just reflect on the couple of days you've had here.
RORY McILROY: It's been great. I'm really excited to get the 2013 season started. I feel like I've been in front you guys for about the last 12 hours. It's great. It's an exciting time and very happy with everything that's going on and just looking forward to getting out on the golf course and putting the new clubs and new equipment into play.
MODERATOR: Always a test in competitive action, I suppose, but you must be feeling quite confident with it.
RORY McILROY: Yeah, for sure, everything's been going really well in practice and even when I'm on the course, everything's been great so hopefully that continues when I get a scorecard in my hand on Thursday.
MODERATOR: Will it be almost a relief to get playing?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, it will, it will be nice, but even after this week I have another four weeks off. I feel like it was a busy end of the season so it will be nice to get a little bit of time off and really recharge the batteries before getting into the U.S. swing.
Q. Your thoughts being back in Abu Dhabi, a tournament you've all done extremely well but never quite won, your thoughts coming into it this week?
RORY McILROY: It's a place I have done well. I think one problem for me the last few years has been Martin Kaymer. He's played really well around here and won it a couple of times, three times I think and I always came up second best. It would be nice to go one better this week and obviously that's what I'm aiming for, but it's a great field and looks like the golf course is in great shape, as well, so you know, I've got good memories of this golf course, and I've played well around here in the past, so hopefully I can do that again this week.
Q. The unveiling last night of your sort of Nike signage was a pretty glitzy and glamorous affair but do you sometimes have to pinch yourself how far you've come in so few years?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, for sure. If I had of sat and talked to you guys in September 2007 when I just turned pro at The Belfry, you know, I wouldn't have thought that I would be sitting here as a two time major champion No. 1 in the world and doing everything that I've done in the game already. It's been quite a lot faster than I thought it was going to happen. But you know, it just shows what you can do when you practice hard and you work hard and hopefully it's an inspiration to a lot of young kids out there that they can go and do the same thing.
Q. I just wonder if there's been banter on the range since the announcement about 'Money Bags' McIlroy?
RORY McILROY: Haven't been on the range yet, so no banter as of yet.
Q. Is there anything that you've got your eye on? I know the money's been coming your way anyway but is there anything that you're going to reward yourself with?
RORY McILROY: A win this week hopefully. That's about it. I just want to try to play as best as I can and everything else will take care of itself. But just really excited to be here this week and I'm excited to putt the include numbers in play and try and get a win.
Q. Great with the Nike, it was very nice, but can you tell how was it done, can you tell me behind the scenes stuff?
RORY McILROY: I'm not sure I can tell you. I don't know how much they want me to give away but all I can say is it was great fun to be a part of, and growing up watching some very iconic Nike adverts with different athletes, Wayne Rooney or Nadal or Cristiano Ronaldo, even like the Brazilian soccer team, playing football through the airport, those sort of things. So just to be a part of a Nike ad like that was a pretty cool thing for me to do.
Q. The dynamic's changed a little bit now, you're the favorite, you're No. 1, the betting line is all tilted your way and Tiger's No.2. I'm just wondering whether that dynamic makes any difference to you, whether you approach it differently, mentally, that sets things up at all differently or expectations, etc., etc.?
RORY McILROY: No, I mean, it doesn't really make a difference to me. I've always had high expectations of myself, and every time I come into a tournament, I want to feel like I have a chance to win. And if people think I have more of a chance to win than anyone else, that's fine, but I know that I'm going to have to play really good golf this week to have a chance and that's what I want to try and do. It's no different; I'll try and approach every week the same way.
Q. Regardless of the fact that the figures that you have been given vary wildly and probably we've got them wrong, but the point is, it's an awful lot of money. Are there any downsides, and so, what are they, to being given such a huge amount of money at such a young age.
RORY McILROY: I mean, again, I'm just concentrating on playing golf. You know, all the financial side and everything like that will take care of itself. I'm in it to try and win trophies and they are worth more to me than any contract is.
Q. There is a bit more to it than that. You know approximately, or you either know exactly how much it is or you only have a rough idea, but my point is, what downsides are there, what could go wrong with such a huge amount of money?
RORY McILROY: I don't know, bad investments or - (laughter) I really can't answer that. I don't know.
Q. I presume you didn't get too much sleep last night.
RORY McILROY: No, she likes playing three sets.
Q. Joking apart, how are you going to resist? If you're playing golf the next morning -
RORY McILROY: It's fine. I've done it plenty of weeks before. It's something that I'm used to. Even if I try to get some sleep and she is playing, I won't be able to sleep because all I'll be able to do is thinking about how she's doing and checking the phone and check the score. So I may as well watch it and put myself out of my misery a bit.
Q. Exactly how much lighter is your schedule this year compared to last year and what difference does that make in preparing for the majors?
RORY McILROY: It's going to be three events lighter, two individual events and less the Ryder Cup, so I think I played 25 weeks last year and this year I'll play 22 I think. It's not a big difference but just enough that I have enough breaks between tournaments that I feel like I'll be ready and rested for every tournament that I play.
Q. Two golf nerd questions. How is the ball you're playing now different than the old one, and you said that you're longer with the driver; is that the case with the irons and how much work do you have to do to dial in the distances still?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, this ball that I'm playing, I found it was much more stable in the wind. It didn't climb on me just as much, and I think we were talking about that last night. I spin the ball quite a lot, and I sort of need a ball that doesn't spin that much, especially when it's windy. It looks like it might be a bit breezy this week so that can help me.
I think with this technology and this golf ball with the resin core, making the core lighter, they are able to make the perimeter of it a little heavier which makes it a little more stable in the air, so that can only help. With the driver, I've picked up, you know, on average, two or three miles an hour more ball speed, sometimes, if I go after one I can get it up into the 180s, which I was never really able to do before. That's been a big help. And the spin rate is great, because when it hits the ground, it's still - it goes. So hopefully that will be obvious this week and I can hit enough fairways to take advantage of maybe a little more length.
Q. What about your distance control of the irons?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I'm probably getting one or two miles an hour more ball speed with the irons, too, but I guess you don't really - I mean, you hit balls on the range and you know how far you're hitting it but I guess you don't really know in tournament play because it feels like you hit it a little further in a tournament because the adrenaline is there and you're maybe pumped up a little more. But it's something that JP and I will sort of gauge on the golf course once we get going and once we get used to it a little more.
Q. As you build up towards the Masters, is this a more important preseason and early part to the golf season because of the switch and the new clubs, because normally, you're of the impression that you don't necessarily need that much range time and you can play on instincts, and then when you get to the majors on a different note, have you thought about your signature color for the final day, given that Tiger has already taken red?
RORY McILROY: Need to get to the final day first. I think this run up to the Masters this year is probably going to be a little better for me than the last couple. Even in 2011, it seemed to work pretty well for 63 holes. I took three weeks off before and did the same last year, but this year I'm playing -so I'll play in Houston and then take a week off and then play again, so you know, I'll have a little bit more competitive play going into the Masters, which I think will help me.
Q. I've been told by another Nike player that when Tiger plays in a tournament, they are not allowed to wear a red shirt on the last day; is that written into your contract?
RORY McILROY: I couldn't tell you. But I mean, I don't - I'm not sure. I mean, I've won in red before. I'm not saying that's the color I want to play in on the last day but -
Q. Want to check it?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I guess so. I'd rather just wear something that goes with green. (Laughter).
Q. I mean, any tournament, not just the Masters.
RORY McILROY: (Shrugs shoulders.)
Q. You were very strident last year in your support for Paul McGinley's Ryder Cup captaincy. Wonder if you're going to be the players meeting tonight expressing those views, and how you'll spend the time while the committee meeting goes on afterwards?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, you know, I have a very strong opinion about this. I really think Paul deserves it. He's been a great player and a great personality for the European Tour over the years, and a great captain. I played under him at the Seve Trophy in 2009 and I thought he did a great job. And from all the captains that I've played under, I think he was the best. He really took a lot from what Bernhard Langer did in 2004 at Oakland Hills and left no stone unturned and I think he will just approach it the right way. He's also been a vice captain in two Ryder Cups, and the two Ryder Cups I've played in, and he's been very influential in the team room and he's always had opinions and he's always had great ideas. I would love to see him be captain. I would be disappointed if he didn't get selected. Yeah, you know, it's.
Q. Is the players meeting a forum for you to air those views?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I guess so. It's a tough thing because it's between the decision is between the players' committee. You know, I'm not even sure if there's anyone sitting on the players' committee who is even going to make the Ryder Cup Team. So you've got - Paul Lawrie maybe, but you've got someone like myself and Ian Poulter and Luke Donald and Justin Rose have all voiced their opinion that they want Paul on the team. So I would like to think that our opinions are valuable to them and that they make the decision based on that.
MODERATOR: Just like to make the point, Paul Lawrie is not on the tournament committee anymore; Molinari is.
Q. Last night you said you would be disappointed if you ended 2013 without a major, trying to forecast your year, is there any of the four majors you think you might stand a stronger chance more than the others, and I assume you would take any of the four but is there any one in particular that you think you might have a chance better than the other three?
RORY McILROY: Not particularly. I know the U.S. Open that I won was a little different than others, but I always thought that the U.S. Open might have been the one that I struggled to win just because of the way the source sets up, usually, by the USGA. This year, you have the Masters, as always at Augusta, and you have Merion which I've never played before, I've never played before and Oak Hill I've never played before. I guess not having any experience around those golf courses, I couldn't really tell you. As you said, I would take any of the four right now, I'm not picky.
Q. Tiger was just in here talking about your relationship with the two of you and how it started last year when you played the nine hole practice round, could you talk about how it's grown in the last year?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, we have spent more time together, which started here last year, just because we have been paired in tournaments; and if not been paired, been in tee times that are close to each other and seen each other on the range a lot or whatever. It's been great; it's been great to get to know him. Before this time last year, we would say hello in passing but not really anything else. I think once Tiger sort of gets to know you and trusts you, I guess, and let's you in, then it's great. We get on really well. We share the same interests. We are both big sports fans and that's sort of the bulk of our conversations is about sports.
It's great to just spend time with him and pick his brain about a few things if I feel I need to, but it's a relationship that's definitely based on respect, because you know, he's been a huge hero of mine growing up and he's done some incredible things in golf. I think he respects me for what I've done on the golf course, too. So it's good.
Q. I just wanted to get kind of your generic thoughts about The Desert Swing; other than those events at the very end of the European Tour schedule, these three events are probably the strongest in success on the European Tour and with fields that match or are superior to the U.S. Tour this time of year.
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I guess it's a perfect - I always thought it was a perfect place to start the year, because I would always come to Dubai just after the new year and start to practice. The weather is always good and the facilities are great. I just think it's a great place to start the season. You play three great golf courses, especially here and Dubai are really good golf courses. Qatar can get a little windy from time to time. I think the guys really enjoy it. It's a great three week stretch and it's a great way to start the year.
Q. You just said it again, you've said many times that you idolised Tiger coming up. I'm just curious how you feel his game, when you play with him now and see him up close, how does his game match up with that game that you saw from afar as you were coming up?
RORY McILROY: I think it's very similar. He's had to change a few things because of injury and his swing shape has definitely changed over the past few years from Butch to Hank to Sean now. But you know, he's still - I was saying in another interview before this, you can really see, he's just a really good pro. He gets his way around the golf course and he hits really solid shots. He doesn't take too much on when he doesn't have to, but when he needs to, he can. You know, he can look like he plays average and still shoot 67, which is a sign of a really good player. So yeah, you know, he's really experienced and he knows how to get his ball around the golf course, and he still hits some unbelievably impressive shots. He's still got it.
Q. What have you picked Tiger's brain about, you just mentioned a second ago. And when the two of you are chatting; there part of you that's guarded how much you open up to Tiger, and other way around, because you're both rivals at the end of the day?
RORY McILROY: I'll ask him just about time management and practice and how he likes to do things and the structure and the setup around him. You know, because there was at one point last year, I felt like I wasn't getting the time that I needed to go and do my practice. There were so many commitments and everything else, because he has to deal with that more than anything else, so I thought it was good to chat to him about that sort of stuff. But you know, apart from that, it's just general chat, whether it's about - we were talking about Ryder Cup captain out there, talking about sports or talking about something else.
Q. The media just grilled Tiger about you and you're getting grilled about Tiger; what would your thoughts be on other youngsters like Louis and Rosey, and you also talked about respect -
RORY McILROY: For sure. Justin has had a great year. He was a European Tour Order of Merit winner back in the late 2000s, 2007 or 2008 I think and Louie is coming off a win last week, playing well, up to four in the world. Exactly, it's a good point. Golf isn't just about Tiger and I; there's a lot of great players out there that deserve to be shown a little bit of respect and deserve to be under the spotlight, too. So I think golf's in great shape at the minute. There's a lot of great players and a lot of guys playing well and I think that's why 2013 is going to be a very exciting season.
Q. You mentioned in the past your struggles on U.S. Open style courses and the like, like Sawgrass. Is that the area where you feel you might make the biggest improvement this year, and is it an experience thing?
RORY McILROY: I think it is more of an experience thing than anything else. I guess going back to courses like that, as well, you sort of figure them out, or hopefully figure them out (laughs). I've struggled an fiddly golf courses, the only exception being Hong Kong where I've loved and played well but fiddly golf courses are something that I could get better at and I could improve at. So the likes of Sawgrass or Wentworth or a U.S. Open style Merion or something like that are places that I definitely think I can improve.
Q. Can you just talk about your development over the last 12 months, maybe the difference between you now and you in Abu Dhabi a year ago?
RORY McILROY: I'd like to think that I'm a better player, I'm a smarter player. You know, 12 months on, you gain experience from the different things on and off the golf course. That's the thing about me, I try to learn every time I do something; if it's good or bad, try to learn from my mistakes and move on. You know, I think it would be disappointing if I didn't think I was a wiser person sitting here now than I was 12 months ago.
Q. You said you talked a lot about sports with Tiger; did you ever try any other sports than golf with him and what would happen if you go to the tennis court?
RORY McILROY: I haven't tried to play any other sports with him. I'm not sure what his tennis game is like but I'm sure mine's not great, so I think we'd probably have a great match, maybe. But yeah, I've played a little bit of soccer growing up - football, soccer - I can't believe I just said soccer, oh, my God (grimacing). Football. Football. Sorry. (Laughter).
Q. Can you talk about your dad sort of running the foundation, how pleased you must be about that?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, it's great. Obviously this six bags project we've started up with I think is a great initiative to start off the foundation, six different charities, the first six tournaments I play this year, starting with one for Northern Ireland locally, the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for children. I think with all the talk and the media about this new deal and everything, I just thought it was a good time to show that I'm giving back, too, and it's not just all about money, you know. So it's great to set up the Rory Foundation and hopefully we can do some great things in the future beyond the six bags project we've started up.
Q. Do you have still have the watch company as a sponsor?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I do, I still have a partnership with Audemars Piguet, yeah.
Q. Anything plans with UNICEF?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, we are planning another trip to Haiti before the Masters this year. That will be nice to go down there. I think they have done a lot of great things down there since the last time I was there in 2011 so it will be great to go back.
Q. You mentioned last night in the Nike press conference that you prefer using the 20XIx balls because they are sort of stable in windy conditions; do you think they will be able to combat the winds we've had in the last couple of days?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I definitely hope so. I practiced in Florida before Christmas and it was quite windy there and I felt like the flight I was getting in the new golf ball was really good and could really help me in windy conditions, whether it be here this week or somewhere like an Open Championship where you really have to control your ball flight. You know, hopefully you can see the advantages of that this week.
MODERATOR: Rory, thanks, as always, good luck this week.

Hi everyone! im new in this forum.
I need to resolve a problem with a denatured a protein with 2-mercaptoethanol and 8 M urea . I need to study quenching on Trp and sadly 2-mercaptoethanol its a quencher. So i need to obtain a denature protein without disulfide bonds in 8 M urea but without 2-mercaptoethanol. I tought of making an ultrafiltration by keeping the volume constant and the solution of 8 M urea. However, my concern is if I change the reducing media the protien will oxidise the Cys again.
I tought use glutathione and find if is a quencher too but i first want to try taking off the 2-mercaptoethanol.
I'd very much appreciate your comments
Thank you very much.

use DTT instead of 2-mercaptoethanol. DTT will break the disulfide bonds just as well.
Posted 14 May 2013 - 10:59 AM
If glutathione and beta-mercaptoethanol are Trp fluorescence quechers, I suspect DTT will be also because it's probably the sulfur that is doing the quenching.
Instead, use TCEP. It's a commonly used cysteine reducing agent but is different from DTT, BME and glutathione in that it is not sulfur based.

SAGINAW, MI — The Saginaw Sting welcomed a franchise record crowd of 3,886 fans to The Dow Event Center on Friday, March 21.
And they almost saw the indoor football version of March Madness and a Cinderella story.
Saginaw, which is the lone undefeated team left in the league, welcomed the winless Detroit Thunder to town, and the Sting fought off a relentless attack by the Thunder and sealed a 49-35 win with a LaTreze Mushatt interception that he returned 43 yards for a touchdown as time expired.
"It's good that we've gone through that because sometimes you take for granted where you are and what you're here for," Sting coach Fred Townsend said. "Sometimes you think you can just step on the field and dominate."
The Sting led 43-20 after Deshawn Hayes scored early in the fourth quarter, but Detroit fought back with touchdowns passes from James King to Daryl Frager and Anthony Bowman to draw within a score at 43-35.
"They made some plays, and we didn't," Townsend said. "We got stagnant, and we got lethargic."
They were marching down the field all the way to the Sting 7-yard line when Mushatt picked off King's final pass as time expired and took it to the house.
Hayes rushed for a game-high 45 yards rushing with 23 yards receiving and four total touchdowns. AJ McKenna was 16 of 27 passing for 147 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Daryl Gooden has six receptions for 66 yards.
Defense ruled throughout the first quarter until Hayes plunged in from six yards out as time expired on the first quarter. Chris Kolias pushed the extra point wide left, but he redeemed himself by launching the kickoff through the uprights for an uno and a point for the 7-0 lead.
Hayes scored another touchdown two minutes later before Detroit got on the board with a 29-yard touchdown pass from King to Reggie Eubanks. McKenna threw a 20-yard touchdown to Shuan Hladki only to see the Thunder answer with another King to Eubanks scoring strike for a 22-14 Sting lead.
McKenna and Hayes hooked up for another score late in the second to send a 29-14 game into the half.
Mckenna and Hladki connected on a 27-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but Detroit wouldn't go away and it countered with a touchdown pass to Bowman.
Hayes scored his final touchdown at 12:42 of the fourth quarter on a 9-yard run when the Thunder began their comeback.
Saginaw's Spenser Smith led all defenders with eight total tackles.
The Sting improved to 6-0, while the Thunder fell to 0-5.

When Citadel football coach Kevin Higgins gushes about Clemson's speed, he's not referring only to Sammy Watkins' 40 time.
Who: The Citadel (5-6) at No. 7 Clemson (9-1)
When: Noon Saturday
Where: Memorial Stadium, Clemson
Radio: 1450-AM, 950-AM, 1340-AM
TV/Internet: ESPN3
It's not all about how fast the Tigers run, but how fast they run plays.
"It's an up-tempo, fast, fast offense," said Higgins, whose 5-6 Bulldogs will be heavy underdogs at No. 7 Clemson (9-1) on Saturday.
How fast?
The Tigers are averaging 82.9 plays per game this season. By comparison, the fastest-paced football team The Citadel has played so far this season is 8-3 Old Dominion, which averages 77.1 plays per game. Old Dominion edged the Bulldogs, 59-58, on Sept. 21.
Clemson runs a play every 20.55 seconds on average, which places the Tigers among the most up-tempo teams in the nation. Against FBS competition, the Tigers run 84.1 plays per game, which ranks seventh in the nation, according to teamrankings.com.
That means the Bulldogs' defense must be prepared to operate at a higher tempo against Clemson than it has all season.
"We have to get used to wristbands, we have to get used to signals from the sideline," Higgins said. "And all of that has to take place quickly based on down and distance."
Clemson runs plays so fast that Higgins will employ two scout-team offenses in practice this week as he tries to replicate the Tigers' pace of play.
After one scout team runs a play, the second one will jump in quickly to run another.
"We'll have two scout teams going off the (play) cards," he said. "As soon as they run a play, the defense has to get lined up right away and the second offense runs a play. It helps the defense get adjusted to the speed of play."
The Bulldogs used the two-team system to get ready for Samford a couple of weeks ago. The Citadel won that game, 28-26, holding Samford to 17 first downs and 353 total yards.
Higgins said Samford and Clemson "run the exact same operation," and the comparison makes sense. Former Samford offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee is Gus Malzahn's right-hand man at Auburn and taught Samford co-coordinator Travis Trickett; Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris' relationship with tempo guru Malzahn goes back to their days in high school coaching.
But Morris, of course, has much better players at his disposal than Samford. And replicating Clemson's speed will be more difficult for The Citadel than preparing for its pace of play.
Citadel freshman Cam Jackson, a 6-2 quarterback, will play the role of receiver Sammy Watkins during Citadel practices this week. But Higgins has had a tougher time coming up with a double for Tigers receiver Martavis Bryant, a fleet-footed 6-5, 200-pound junior.
And then there's the matter of the Tigers' run game, spearheaded by running back Rod McDowell.
"If you spread out and try to slow down their perimeter game, they run the ball extremely well," Higgins said. "If you put another guy in the box, they will get it out the perimeter. A lot of challenges there."
The Citadel's defense has had a pretty good season, ranking second in the SoCon in rushing defense (167 yards per game) and third in total defense (369 yards per game). But the Bulldogs haven't faced a challenge like this one.
"Speed and scheme," Higgins said. "The scheme allows Clemson to run close to 90 plays a game, and the more plays they run the more opportunities they have for big plays. The scheme, the speed on the perimeter and the fact that they can run the ball will cause us issues."

The Economics of Minimum Wage
(Posted December 31, 2013)
The Economics of Minimum Wage
On Dec. 5, workers from large food chains such as McDonalds and Wendy's went on strike in 100 different U.S. cities, demanding a higher wage of $15 an hour. Currently, many of these workers are paid minimum wage ($7.25/ hour) and contend that this is not enough money to support themselves and their families. The National Restaurant Association, a critic of the strike, claims that increasing hourly pay would cause employers to cut jobs. Some economists argue that increasing the minimum wage would benefit the economy by putting more money into the pockets of potential consumers. President Obama acknowledged the plight of blue-collar workers during a speech delivered in an extremely impoverished area of Washington, D.C. He said, "The combined trends of increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American dream, our way of life and what we stand for around the globe." Brad Andrew, associate professor of economics at Juniata, comments on the strikes and the economics of minimum wage.
Q: Can you explain why workers are demanding higher wages?
A: I guess it's best to start out by saying there's been a long-term hollowing out of the middle class, particularly blue-collar middle class. So, while unemployment rates are not terribly higher than they were 40 years ago, what's happened is that the composition of jobs has changed. There are fewer blue-collar middle class jobs in factories for example. There's still jobs created for working class people, it's just that they don't pay nearly as much as the factory jobs of 40 to 50 years ago. In the late 1970s, the wage premium (college vs. high school degree) was 30 percent, so there wasn't a huge gap. It's become significantly larger now: 80 percent. There's a much higher payoff to going to college. A higher percentage of the jobs are entry level in service sectors. They're not nearly as unionized and generally easier to replace, So what happens is there is a higher percentage of people in the U.S. with just a high school diploma in lower wage jobs. Basically, the high-wage sectors are smaller now and don't employ as many people. It's a victim of its own success because manufacturers have gotten so efficient that they don't need as many workers. Jobs at McDonalds, Walmart and janitorial jobs don't pay nearly as much.
Q: Is our current minimum wage too low?
A: When you're talking about an increase, you need to specify how much. Phasing it in over a longer time period is a different situation. A negative impact of raising minimum wage is that young workers often find it harder to get jobs. The jobs that are being created just don't pay as much and employers would rather hire an older, more experienced person than a kid who is more likely to be irresponsible. I don't dispute that it's extraordinarily difficult to get by on minimum wage, but I don't think raising minimum wage is the way to do it because it will affect the employees in some unanticipated way.
Q: Would raising minimum wage lead to fewer jobs?
A: Here's the problem with minimum wage; if you're a full-time worker and your employer is paying benefits as well as salary, as an employer, if you're forced to pay a higher wage, one way to compensate is by reducing benefits. So you have to be careful when enforcing the law with such blunt objects because there are secondary affects. The likely outcome is that they'll try to reduce costs elsewhere. If you raise the price of anything, what happens to the amount that people buy? There's a real concern that if you raise minimum wage, they will cut employee hours or cut employees. And that's a real problem.
Q: So what's the solution?
A: There's a program right now called "Earned Income Tax Credit" and it is a refundable tax credit. One of the problems with government benefits is that once you start working, you lose them all. Many people, if they are poor and they have an option of working with health insurance or not working, but getting health insurance, many will choose the latter because of the benefits that are offered. What the EITC does, basically, is it makes work more rewarding financially by increasing your tax refund in many cases by an amount that exceeds what you paid in taxes. We must acknowledge the low-wage workers, but using a raise in minimum wage to acquire more money often causes secondary affects that hurt the goal. The EITC uses the progressive tax system and basically, you get a bunch of higher income people who are sending checks to poor people via the federal government. This is a better method than raising minimum wage because it won't lead to unemployment.

While the social ethos is often given lip service in many sustainability plans, it is often relegated to backstage while the economic and environmental dimensions appear front and center. This has not been the case at Ford—largely due to the efforts of the 2013 Detroit Free Press Automotive Leadership Award honoree, David Berdish.
I recently had the opportunity to interview David, who serves at the Manager of Social Sustainability for Ford. Please click on the arrow below to hear our Greening of the Great Lakes conversation.
Berdish joined Ford in 1989 and, after 11 years with the company, he was given the task of drafting a human rights code for the corporation. This code was to become, in my opinion, the centerpiece of Ford's social sustainability initiative, with Berdish as its chief architect. And after just a minute or two into our conversation, I realized why the corporation has been so successful in addressing such socio-cultural issues as child labor, discrimination, corruption and worker health and safety, not only in the U.S., but at Ford facilities across the globe. Even after 13 years working in the area of human rights, Berdish's passion is palpable.
He makes it very clear that Ford's embracing of human rights begins at the top, with Executive Chairman Bill Ford. He also indicates that the company's commitment to all aspects of sustainability is now deep-rooted and pervasive. It begins as part of the hiring process at Ford and extends into the communities around the globe in which Ford operates—from Mexico to India and China. During the interview, Berdish provides some examples of successful social outreach efforts, including one in Chennai, India to reduce mortality rates among pregnant women and their babies.

ATHENS, Ga. -- When Georgia started the second half with a missed dunk, a botched layup and three turnovers, the home crowd began to grumble.
Here we go again, they surely thought.
But the Bulldogs snapped out of it, finally showing they can put a team away. Trey Thompkins scored 20 points, Travis Leslie added 15 and Georgia cruised to a win it had to have, blowing out South Carolina, 64-48, Saturday night.
South Carolina had a miserable shooting night, going 1 of 19 from 3-point range and finishing 17 of 60 (28 percent) overall. The Gamecocks didn't play much defense, either, giving up several highlight-show dunks and allowing Georgia to shoot 50 percent most of the game.
Malik Cooke led South Carolina with 11 points.
"This is a team that's lost a lot of leads," Gamecocks coach Darrin Horn said of Georgia. "We were actually much better in the second half, but it was just too much to overcome."
Ramon Galloway added 10 points for USC, but shot just 3 of 14 from the field. Sam Muldrow had 10 points and seven rebounds.
Coming off a loss at Florida, the Bulldogs (19-9, 8-6 Southeastern Conference) knew a defeat to last-place South Carolina (14-13, 5-9) would be a huge blow to their on-the-bubble NCAA chances.
They led 39-22 at the half, but there was still another 20 minutes to go. And so many times -- including the first meeting against the Gamecocks -- that's where Georgia has run into trouble.
Not this time. After that sluggish start to the second half, Jeremy Price seemed to snap the Bulldogs out of it with a dunk, and they led by as many as 24 before slowing things down and clearing the bench.
"We were kind of like, 'Uh oh,' " said Price, who added 14 points. "But then we picked it up as a team. This is a big step for us."
For one half, at least, this was a virtual replay of the first meeting in Columbia. Georgia led 28-9 at the half in that one.
South Carolina stormed back after the break, and the Bulldogs needed Thompkins' block in the final seconds to preserve a 60-56 win. Coach Mark Fox reminded his players of that game at the break.
The Bulldogs raced to a double-digit lead before the game was 10 minutes old, making it 17-6 on Price's dunk. But just a few seconds later, Price got an earful from Fox for a hot-dogging play.
The senior forward had a clear path to the basket, but decided to flip a lob pass to Leslie, who was flying in off the wing. Leslie was fouled on the attempted dunk and Fox stormed off the bench, yelling at Price.
The coach signaled for Chris Barnes to go in and waited for Price to trot over sheepishly between the two free throws. Fox pulled his player close for a lecture, but the two patted each other on the backside before Price headed to take a seat. A few minutes later, he came back in the game.
"He almost gave me a heart attack. Then," Fox quipped, "he almost died."
The Bulldogs were rolling by the end of the first half. Leslie got another chance to wow the crowd when he blew by the Gamecocks' phantom defense, rocking the rim with a thunderous right-handed dunk. Two possessions later, Gerald Robinson took off on nearly the same move from the opposite side, jamming it in, too.
South Carolina guard Eric Smith, sitting on the bench, got up to implore someone -- anyone -- to put a stop to Georgia's dunkfest.
Georgia has struggled to close out games, and it looked like that would be the case again when they missed a layup, a dunk and turned it over three times to start the second half.
But South Carolina couldn't take advantage, only cutting it to 39-27 while the Bulldogs struggled. Georgia finally scored when Price dunked off a pass from Leslie with 16:30 remaining, and the rout was back on.

CHARLES TOWN - The Washington Patriots overcame a slow start in the opening set to sweep the Jefferson Cougars 25-19, 25-12, 25-15 Thursday night at Washington.
"I thought we came out flat, especially in the first set," Patriots coach Ian Hillman said. "We didn't pass well, had a lot of service errors and hitting errors that hurt us early on."
Despite the errors, the Patriots won the first set 25-19.

After the set started out 1-1, Terri Wilson and Lauren Plath gave the Cougars an early 6-2 lead. An exchange back and forth with each side unable to hold for more than one serve set up an Amber Curry run of four points to give the Patriots their first lead of the set before it was tied 10-10.
Later in the set, Curry held serve for three more Patriot points before a four-hits violation gave the Cougars the ball back trailing by five. A kill by Elisabeata Lienhard and a tip point by Alycia Lambert closed out the set for the Patriots.
Washington progressively got more aggressive after winning the first set.

"After the first set, I told them to be ready to play defense," Hillman said. "We needed to stay on our toes and be aggressive with our serving and swinging for spikes. The players knew they didn't play well. They were disappointed, so they picked it up in the second set."
Nikki Ashbaugh, Kelsey Lineburg and Amber Barr held serve for seven of the Patriots' first 11 points of the set before Hunter Sliuka earned a kill to end Barr's run at three.
Five rallies later, Sliuka left the match with a pinched nerve in her shoulder.
"When Hunter came in during the second set, she told me she couldn't lift her arm," Cougars coach Sandy Hayes said. "With her out of the lineup, we were all out of sync, and that hurt us in the set because we had to make the substitution midstream during the game."
Lineburg served a run of four points, and Barr added two more service points on kills from Rebecca Walls and Ashbaugh to close out the second set.
The Patriots gained early momentum in the third set.
Ashbaugh, Lineburg, and Emma Bryan served 11 of the Patriots' opening 15 points before Barr served the ball out of bounds to give Jefferson serve.
Ashbaugh closed the door on the third set with a tip to regain serve and served the Patriots' final seven points to earn the 25-15 win.
The Patriots had different players step up in key situations through the entire match.
"This team works well together," Hillman said."We don't have to consistently rely on one person. We had some great play from players that started the match out on the bench as well as from our starters. These players coming through at random moments will help us out later on in the season."
Ashbaugh finished with four aces for the Patriots, while Lienhard added nine kills. Curry also had 11 digs for the Patriots.

HOLLAND, MI — The last two cars of a freight train derailed Thursday night near Kollen Park in Holland, but police say there were no injuries and that traffic is unaffected.
The train was traveling on the track that runs between the Louis Padnos Iron & Metal recycling center and the Heinz plant, derailing in front of Boatwerks Restaurant, 216 Van Raalte Ave., Holland Police Capt. Jack Dysktra wrote in an email.
Both cabooses came off the tracks but remained upright. They are blocking the entrance to Boatwerks, which is closed for remodeling.
There appears to be no hazard to the public, Holland Fire Capt. Chris Tinney wrote in an email.
Snow and ice appears to have caused the derailment, Dykstra said. CSX personnel are in the area investigating, Tinney wrote.
Reports of the derailed cabooses came into Ottawa County Central Dispatch about 8 p.m. Dysktra expected the cars to be stuck for several more hours.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
(The following is the complete text of the commencement address, "What We Can Learn from the Times Fred Rogers Said, 'Stop the Tape'," by Hedda Sharapan, director of early childhood initiatives for The Fred Rogers Company, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013 in the Robert S. Carey Student Center, Saint Vincent College, Latrobe, Pa. She was also honored with the conferral of an honorary doctor of humane letters degree.) I am very humbled by this honor, and I thank the good people at Saint Vincent College that I've had the pleasure to get to know over the years – Archabbot Douglas, Brother Norman, Brother David and the wonderful staff at The Fred Rogers Center – especially Rita Catalano, Cindy Scarpo and Emily Uhrin. It's amazing to think this is the 10th anniversary of the Center. I remember when it was just a gleam in the eyes of Archabbot Douglas and Fred…and under the great leadership it's become a nationally recognized institution in early learning and media. I also congratulate the graduates and their family and friends for all that it's taken for you to be at this wonderful moment in your lives. Fred Rogers had a song, "You've got to do it. You can wish for things, but it takes real work to make those dreams come true." You did it! Congratulations! Before I begin, maybe I should ask, "How many of you have seen Mister Rogers?" Whenever I ask that, I'm reminded of a boy who really did see Fred Rogers in real life…and couldn't believe his eyes. He looked up at him and asked, "Mister Rogers, how did you get out of the TV?" His question gives me a metaphor for what I'd like to do this morning – I'd like to take Fred Rogers out of the TV and share with you some life lessons I learned from Fred's decisions in the studio. You see, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood wasn't just for children. It's full of life lessons for all of us. And I want to share them with you through two behind-the-scenes stories – through videos. To give you a little background, Fred wrote all the scripts (more than 900 in all). He composed all the music for the program (about 200 songs). He worked almost all the puppets. And he was also essentially the executive producer. That meant it was up to him to say whether we were going to keep what we had just taped and go on…or if he wanted to stop the tape and do it again. So here's the first story – on video. You're watching Ella Jenkins, beloved folksinger with Mister Rogers and Chuck Aber (a regular "neighbor" on the program). Right after that, Fred came down off the set, as he always did, and we all waited as he watched the TV monitor that showed what he had just taped. Now, we didn't tape MRN from the beginning to the end. We taped it in short segments which our editor put together afterwards. So it wasn't such a big deal to tape a segment over again. What was his decision? Now we all understood that to that decision Fred brought all of his background – TV production from his early days at NBC, music composition from his college days at Rollins, the ministry, and his child development graduate work…with all of that background, what was his decision? This he left in! Think about the messages in it – Did you see? Fred couldn't get it! He was the most prominent person there – and he couldn't get it! And he allowed us to see that – to see his humanness! It's a great reminder that nobody can do everything – that nobody's perfect. There are no perfect parents, there are no perfect children. We have to be able to forgive others – and ourselves (which, Fred once said – that might be the hardest of all). Now I have to admit that I am a bit concerned about saying "nobody's perfect" to nurse anesthetists – maybe one of you may be sitting at my side during surgery! But maybe it's even more important to you – because as a patient, I know we're only human…we all make mistakes…and I hope you're willing to check your work twice, just to make sure. The other message in it is how hard it is to learn something new! Fred could have easily said, "I can't do this…I'll just watch." That's not what he did. He kept working at it…and even after she left! Carol Dweck's research at Stanford – when you say to children "You're really smart…or you're really good at that." When they face a challenge, what do they do? They give up! They don't want to think they're not smart – or not good at something. In today's world, what we're applauding is persistence. Just to give an example – I'm really grateful for the person who worked on my computer recently…kept at it until he got it. So that's not just for college or graduate work – that's for life…for your work life, family and friends. But that's not the end of it. There's another side of that message from Fred. Here's the second story – on video. It's an early one – Fred putting up a tent. Obviously that one was an outtake. It didn't make it on the program – it did make it on the Bloopers! I went to the video library to see how he finally did it. Remember, on that outtake he came onto the porch with the tent in his hand. Well, on the actual program, he came out with nothing…and said, "I'd like to show you what we have set up out here in the yard." That, of course meant that the studio crew put the tent up. And what an important lesson that is…In your journey beyond Saint Vincent, you'll be called upon to put up many tents. Some of them – in fact, many of them – may be too tough to put up alone. What Fred was telling us – was when you realize you can't put up the tent, go get some help. In fact, he used to say, "It's not a sign of weakness to ask for help. That's a sign of real strength." Maybe these messages of Fred's will stay with you, too, as you move on from Saint Vincent, from this caring neighborhood…and build your own caring neighborhood of colleagues, family and friends. Nobody's perfect – keep working at it. But trust your intuition…when you feel the tent is too tough to put up alone, get some help. In closing I want to wish you many beautiful days in your neighborhood…as you journey from here.

|Milan Lucic: Canadiens are Bruins' biggest test
|12.05.13 at 1:45 pm ET
MONTREAL — It's a bit odd that the Bruins and Canadiens have yet to meet roughly a third of the way into the regular season, but when they finally do Thursday night, it will mean a lot more than it would have had they met in one of the first two months of the season.
First place in the Atlantic Division is on the line — and crazily, as NHL.com's Arpon Basu notes, it's the fifth straight meeting between the teams in which the top spot in a division was up for grabs. The Canadiens, who have played 29 games to the Bruins' 27, sit one point behind the B's in the standings with 37.
Some quick background on the Canadiens: They've been really good of late — 7-0-1 over their last eight games, as Bruins team statistician/left winger Milan Lucic noted Thursday morning.
"I think it's probably our biggest test of the year, coming into a real tough building against a real good team who's playing its best hockey so far this year," Lucic said. "It's going to be a good test for us."
The Habs, who have much of the same roster from last season but added a top-six winger in Daniel Briere and toughened up a bit with George Parros, have been led by the usual strong play from the likes of Carey Price and P.K. Subban. Price has a 2.00 goals-against average and .937 save percentage in 22 games this season and likely will be in net Thursday after Peter Budaj played Wednesday against the Devils.
Subban, fresh off of winning the Norris Trophy as a 23-year-old, leads the Habs with 24 points (four goals, 20 assists). Claude Julien said after the morning skate that Subban is being considered for Team Canada and that after years of adjusting to being a young star player, he's got everyone on the same page about what he brings to the table.
"I think P.K. is a player that is electrifying," Julien said. "He makes a lot of things happen offensively. When he carries that puck, he's hard to stop. Throughout the years, a player is allowed to mature just like any other player. We've got some in our lineup that go through that same thing. Expectations sometimes are extremely high, and sometimes they're not realistic and you don't allow a player to develop the way you should without criticism, which you should."
The Bruins haven't played since Saturday, while the Canadiens are playing the second game of a back-to-back. The Habs blew a third-period lead against the Devils on Wednesday but came back to force overtime and eventually win a shootout.
That brings them to Thursday, when they will at long last face the Bruins. It's been a good start for both teams, but the season doesn't really start until the Bruins-Canadiens rivalry gets kicked off.
"It does feel different [having not played them], no doubt," Julien said. "It's probably a game that everybody's been waiting for, fans and players alike. This is a great rivalry. We enjoy this kind of rivalry, and those are easy games to get up for for both sides and they end up being pretty entertaining games as well. '¦ These are the kinds of games that I think fans want to watch."
|Bruins defense bounces back from Detroit disaster with pair of excellent games
|11.30.13 at 11:55 pm ET
The NHL was a different place in 2002. Goals and shots were as low as they'd been since the 1950s, and it wasn't rare at all to see teams held under 20 shots on goal in a game. In fact, the 2001-02 Bruins — one of the better defensive teams in the league — held opponents under that mark 13 times.
But things have changed since then. The rule changes following the lockout in 2004-05 helped open the game back up, and although we'll probably never get back to the eight-goals-per-game days of the 1980s, we're at least seeing more shots and chances than the pre-lockout days. And we're certainly not seeing teams hold opponents under 20 shots on goal as frequently as we used to — the 2011-12 Bruins, a top defensive team just like the B's squad 10 years before, did it just four times.
All of that information sets up this: over the last two days, the Bruins have held their opponents under 20 shots on goal in back-to-back games for the first time since that 2001-02 season (April 11 and 13 of that season, to be exact).
It's a feat that in today's NHL would be impressive at any time. But for the Bruins, it's even more significant considering it followed Wednesday's debacle in Detroit, when they surrendered six goals on one defensive breakdown after another.
"We want to put that game behind us," Zdeno Chara said. "You're going to have a game like that where everything is off. Hopefully there's not too many of them. But after that game, we really wanted to focus on how we were going to play defensively, and more focused on us than the teams we play. Don't get me wrong — we want to respect their strength and whatever they do well, but mainly we want to focus on how we're going to implement our game plan." Read the rest of this entry »
|Claude Julien on Torey Krug in OT: 'He gets around'
|11.26.13 at 11:10 am ET
There is a reason the Bruins were so high on Torey Krug going into the playoffs last spring.
They knew the 22-year-old had great puck-carrying ability, great speed and a laser of a shot. All three of those qualities were on display throughout the team's run to the Stanley Cup finals. Turns out, Claude Julien is trying to unleash them more this season and overtime 4-on-4 play is perfectly suited to Krug's skill set.
"Yeah, he gets around, he seems to find those gaps and everything else, those holes, and moves around really well," Julien said after Krug unloaded a cannon past Marc-Andre Fleury Monday night just 34 seconds into overtime for the 4-3 game-winner. "So there's no doubt it's an area for him such as other players in the league; you look at guys like [Kris] Letang and other defensemen like that that love that kind of space because they move around so well. Tonight he was in the right place ' Marchy [Brad Marchand] made a great pass there ' but he picked that top corner; he knew where he was going with that shot."
Krug knows in 4-on-4 hockey during overtime, he's going to have more freedom, more space to maneuver.
"I love it," Krug beamed. "A lot more room on the ice to skate and play with the puck, it's more of a possession game, you're not just chipping pucks up the wall and if you watch me play you understand I like to play with the puck so it's a lot more fun for me for sure."
He didn't take long to take advantage Monday.
"It starts with the faceoff," Krug said. "We had good puck pursuit, I don't remember much of it but Bergy [Patrice Bergeron] made an unbelievable play to me on the far side. Their forwards were cheating a little bit, and I just missed the shot wide on that one and then we recovered the puck and it was just calm composure with the puck, especially up high on the blueline ' those are dangerous areas. Our guys were keeping track of the puck and we had really good plays.
"The key is to make sure you hit the net, because if you don't, it's ramming out the other way and they're going to get a break on that. There were a few times when I missed the net; right before I scored there was a shot that, Bergy [Patrice Bergeron] made an unbelievable pass to the middle and I got down there and I missed the net and I rode up the boards so, your focus is just getting in on that."
|Claude Julien's take on why Steven Stamkos is more universally beloved than other superstars
|11.25.13 at 1:19 pm ET
Claude Julien singing Steven Stamkos' praises a couple weeks after visiting him in the hospital certainly isn't the first case of the Lightning superstar being a welcomed guest in Boston.
Stamkos, who has twice been injured on Garden ice, has long been well-received around these parts, and he's one of the few star players in the game who seems to be universally beloved.
Even prior to the Max Pacioretty incident, Zdeno Chara was booed every time he touched the puck in another building. Opposing stars get booed in other towns regularly, so what is it about Stamkos [for what it's worth, he is one of the nicest people in professional sports] that makes him adored everywhere?
Julien had an interesting answer.
"What's kind of unfortunate about the boos and that [is] a lot of it is based on what happens on the ice," Julien said. "And we know Steve is not a dirty player. But yet, you get Zdeno, who is a physical player, and yet both of those people are just as equally good people; they're quality people, but the perception of one versus the other is different. So you see the same thing with all those players.
"People are always going to cheer and respect the players that are not physical; they just go out and score goals and play the game. But if you're physical at all, and you're throwing your body around and you're gritty and everything else, then you're not going to get that same treatment. That's my explanation for that. Steve is one of those hard-working guys that works hard and will get in the dirty areas but he's not known as a dirty player — and he's not."
There's obviously a lot of grey area not addressed there, as non-physical stars are booed plenty, but that's a pretty interesting take from Julien regarding why Chara gets the treatment he does in other buildings.
|Claude Julien visited Steven Stamkos in hospital
|at 1:10 pm ET
Steven Stamkos had a rough time the last time he was in Boston, as he broke his tibia in the second period of a Lightning loss on Nov. 11 and had to stay in town to get surgery.
The NHL's third-leading goal-scorer (still) was off crutches Monday as he met the Tampa media, and he revealed that B's coach Claude Julien paid him a visit while he was in the hospital. He also received a text message from Zdeno Chara wishing him well on behalf of the Bruins.
"I had him at the Olympic Camp and I got to know Steve the person," Julien said after Monday's morning skate. "When you look at what he is in the league and what he's accomplished, to have that happen to him I thought it was just important to go by and see how he was doing. It was as simple as that.
"Again, it's a guy – I said that after the game – he's one of those players that people from all the different cities come up to watch and play and he's one of the reasons we fill buildings and you hate to see that, from anybody's point of view, to see a guy like that get injured that way. So I stopped by and he certainly feels like he wants that opportunity to represent his country and he's going to do everything he can and I just went there and kind of showed my support."

|Reilly Smith is just trying to 'keep the ball rolling'
|11.23.13 at 8:22 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien looks on the ice and sees the skill of Reilly Smith. Then he has to remind himself and others that he is just 22 years of age.
On Saturday, he saw a sure-fire sign that Smith is fully capable of handling the load at the NHL level. With 6:29 left in the second period of a 1-1 game, Smith broke in on Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward and had the puck on his backhand. Earlier in the season, Smith's eyes might have gotten too big and he might have felt the pressure to rush the shot. But not Saturday. He waited.
Smith took a pass from Carl Soderberg in the low slot between the circles, skated across the crease and flipped the puck just hard enough that Ward couldn't control it, providing the go-ahead goal, already the fourth of the season with his new team.
"Kells [Chris Kelly] was tied up in front so he kind of set up a good pick, I didn't want to force it right through and I thought I might have a little more net going to my backhand," Smith explained. "Cam [Ward] still almost had it so I was kind of lucky that it snuck through."
Does Saturday's patience on the goal show he's getting more comfortable?
"Absolutely, just little things like that where probably a few weeks or a month ago I probably wouldn't have done that, I probably would have tried to get it on net right away," Smith said. "With every day, you build confidence.
"Every day gets a little bit easier. When you stay with the same linemates, for a few weeks or a month, everyday gets easier, chemistry builds every day so just take it day by day but I think everything is going pretty well right now, just try to keep the ball rolling."
With Kelly and Carl Soderberg on the third line, the young winger acquired along with Loui Eriksson from Dallas for Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley is looking more and more ready to fit in on a regular basis.
"They just feel better more and more about playing together," Julien said. "They're reading off of each other extremely well; I said that earlier in an interview about how they're just reading off each other, they're anticipating, so they're always on top of the puck. We still have some lines right now that are kind of waiting to see what the puck carrier is going to do with it and you hope that with time we can get that same level as that third line is right now of anticipating well. They know exactly where they want to go and where they're going to put the puck so they're on top of it all the time and the last few games they've had a lot of chances and a lot of offensive zone time.
"Again, we're talking about a young player here. I keep saying it all the time, we always seem to overlook his age and he's a young player. And the way I think he's handled himself in pressure situations and handling the puck a little bit better and holding onto it. And at the same time, I thought tonight he shot the puck a little bit more; he had a little bit better of a nose for the net and before, looking to make plays versus shooting the puck. So he's really turned a corner and is really coming along well for a young player."
It's not just Julien either. Smith is winning over veteran teammates at the same time.
"I didn't know much about him before he got traded," David Krejci said. "I know he's a great player, he's still young, but he's playing like a ten year vet [veteran]. It's good to see him doing well; hopefully he can keep it up."
|Claude Julien tweaks overtime approach to avoid shootout
|at 5:45 pm ET
The Bruins showed they don't like the shootout Thursday night by saying they don't like the shootout. Claude Julien did it Saturday by loading up on forwards during overtime.
In an attempt to get some scoring during the five-minute 4-on-4 session, Julien played Patrice Bergeron's line with Zdeno Chara and then David Krejci's line with Johnny Boychuk, so three forwards and one defenseman rather than two and two.
"We've practiced that this year when we've done our 4-on-4," Julien said following the win. "For me, we haven't been very lucky in shootouts — or we haven't gotten much out of our shootouts — so I just thought it was important to maybe get a line out there, give us maybe some more offense because of the fact they're used to playing with each other and not about taking that chance, but taking that strategy and having one defenseman there and making sure a forward always came back. Tonight it paid off."
Julien's move paid off, as the B's got a goal from Krejci's line when Jarome Iginla split two Hurricanes defenders to set up Krejci's game-winning goal in Boston's 3-2 win over Carolina.

The Phanatic, ever the trouper, will back in action at Citizens Bank Park this evening as the Phils take on Oakland at 7:05.
"He's going to play hurt," club spokesman Scott Palmer said.
On Wednesday, a foul ball caught the big green furball in the throat - and sent Tom Burgoyne inside off to a hospital with a lump over the eye and a slight concussion.
It happened at the Iron Pigs game in Allentown, with the ever-dangerous John Mayberry Jr. at the plate.
Let's go to the highlight reel:
The mascot was planted in empty seats a couple of rows behind the first base dugout when the play-by-play announcer yells "Watch out, Phanatic! Heads up!" as a sharply hit foul bounces up and whacks the featured creature right below his megaphone-like schnoz.
