Some losses are frustrating because of who you lost to. Some are frustrating because of how you lost. And some are frustrating because of why you lost.
And tonight's 100-91 to the Rockets is definitely the latter.
How does this sound? Twenty-three offensive rebounds and 19 more shot attempts. That's what Houston had in their favor Sunday night. That's the reason the Rockets won. The. Reason. Toss 19 Oklahoma City turnovers and 1-13 from 3 on top of that and you've got quite a recipe for a loss. The fact the Thunder only fell by nine is actually kind of impressive. The fact OKC hit almost 50 percent of its 75 shots is really the only reason it stayed close.
Here's the thing: I'm not terribly upset about the loss. Sure, it's an opportunity lost. Sure, it's a game that when you look at the box score, you'll see a glaring reason why the team lost. Sure, it's a game that you feel like you should have and could have won. But the Rockets are no pushover team and Oklahoma City was playing with just nine healthy bodies. Key contributors missing: Nenad Krstic, Nick Collison and Kevin Ollie. And I have to think Krstic and Collison would have helped on the boards. Actually I don't think, I know.
Still no excuse to lose though. You shouldn't give up 23 offensive boards to a juco team. The missing players doesn't excuse the poor defensive rotations, the turnovers and the missed shots. So while this loss doesn't make me want to jump off a tall structure, it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Such is the NBA season with a young team.
I'm not really into questioning Scott Brooks because I know he's far smarter than I, but I have to wonder a little why he stuck with Serge Ibaka so much in the fourth quarter instead of the much more physical Etan Thomas. Heck, maybe even a little more D.J. White would have helped. He played three VERY quality minutes late in the second quarter. The fact is, something wasn't working on the glass. It's not like it was all Ibaka's fault, but when you're being dominated like that, a shake up might help. The fact Ibaka had just two rebounds really sticks out to me. At the same time, those were valuable minutes to a young talented guy that's learning. [quote]
The Thunder led 54-45 at the break, but was outscored by 18 in the second half. That doesn't sound like the team we've seen so far this year. It wasn't really like they were flat out of the locker room, but yet something was missing. Maybe if a few shots would have fallen or the snowball wouldn't have grown on the glass, things would have been different. But the fact is, an undersized Rockets squard outboarded the Thunder 46-35, with HALF of those coming on the offensive end. I don't know if that's a tribute to the Rockets' heart and desire on the glass or the Thunder's indifference, but something was wrong there. Something.
- Houston did all that damage inside without Luis Scola who was injured on the game's first play. Etan Thomas inadvertently caught Scola under the eye on a dunk and bloodied the Rocket power forward, causing him to miss the rest of the contest.
- A couple 3-pointers drop for OKC and this thing is different. Jeff Green was an uncharacteristic 0-5. Durant 0-3. Westbrook 0-2. The team, 1-13. When Serge Ibaka hits your only 3-pointer of the game, you know it's not going to be your night.
- I really like D.J. White. He had eight points in three minutes. If you leave him open from 15 feet or under, he's going to make it. Guaranteed. He just will.
- Byron Mullens was on the bench. I guess he was called back up.
- Kevin Durant was decent, scoring 25 on 10-19 shooting, grabbed nine rebounds and had six assists. It was a full line, but KD didn't take a free throw until four minutes left in the third and only had five attempts for the game. He turned it over six times and was 0-3 from deep again. I don't know where his 3-point shot has gone, but I'd like to have it back. So Kevin Durant's 3-point shot, please come back.
- Jeff Green had two fantastic dunks, but I feel like he's got some blood on his hands for what happened on the glass. Carl Landry shouldn't have 21 and 10 in 29 minutes. Green had 12 points and seven boards, but just couldn't seem to take control in the paint. I love Uncle Jeff to death, but OKC really needed him and he just didn't come up with anything.
- Aaron Brooks is a terrific late game player. He's awesome on the pick and roll and he can get to the rim with ease.
- Sometimes it can really feel like OKC can score at will. Sometimes it seems like there is no way they can put the ball in the basket. I'm sure every NBA fan feels this at times with their team, but late in the fourth Sunday, it just felt like OKC really labored to find points.
- David Anderson just bothers me. Maybe it's his face or the gelled hair or his unathletic game, but he annoys me. Or maybe it's because he had 12 huge points and really hurt the team I call my favorite.
- I honestly don't know if there is a better off-hand dunker than Jeff Green. He throws down lefthanded extremely well. It's a skill.
- I thought Russell Westbrook was really good Sunday. 8-16 from the floor for 20 points, five assists, four turnovers and two blocks. He really kind of kept OKC alive in the second half. He hit some jumpers, got to he basket and created as much as he could. Aaron Brooks scored on him some late, but honestly, when Brooks gets going he's tough for ANYBODY to defend.
Losing at home shouldn't be acceptable, but this is really the first time the Thunder's been shorthanded this year. Not an excuse because that's life in the NBA, but you have to think a healthy Collison or Krstic would have helped make a difference. It's a loss that stings because this homestand had potential to be big for the Thunder – and I guess it still can – but just the fact of why the team lost is what's most bothersome. Houston is a workhorse team, but you just shouldn't give up 23 offensive boards to a team that starts a 6'6 center. For some reason, OKC just can't match Houston's energy and effort. I don't know why. Still though, a 9-8 November isn't something I saw coming. And I'll gladly take it.
Next up is the 76ers Wednesday night.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Stryker Corp. announced this afternoon that its biotech division in Hopkinton, Mass., has received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Kalamazoo, Michigan-based medical device company said the letter was issued regarding "quality systems and compliance issues" at the plant.
Stryker said there were no recalls associated with this warning letter, which resulted from a September 2007 inspection.
"Several corrective actions and changes to processes put in place by Stryker Biotech were noted in the letter and future improvements are forthcoming as the division continues to work with FDA," the company's written statement said.
"We take this matter very seriously, will continue to cooperate fully with FDA, and have initiated significant measures to address FDA's concerns," Stephen P. MacMillan, president and CEO, said in the statement.
This is the third FDA warning letter received by a Stryker division in the last year.
Last year, Stryker's Orthopaedics division received warning letters regarding manufacturing plants in Mahwah, N.J., and Cork, Ireland.
The company's press release this afternoon is out ahead of any media reports on the latest FDA warning letter, possibly a signal that Stryker is being more proactive in dealing with regulatory issues and the media.

One last time.
That's what many athletes wish for: One last time to lace up the cleats, spikes or Air Jordans. One last time on the field. One more carry, one more three-pointer, or one more at-bat.
That's what they wish for; and sometimes their wish is granted.
It's been more than 17 years since a football game has been played on the old St. Stephen High School field. The old high school, which opened its doors in 1960 and closed in 1995, stands abandoned and forgotten. The gridiron is home to the occasional park and recreation football game these days as the cheers of a handful of parents have replaced the thunderous roar of the Rams' faithful.
The stray dandelion now marks the yard markers. The goal posts stand silent sentinel still. Rust betrays their neglect.
But not anymore.
Come May the Rams will rise once more, only this time in the guise of the newly formed Berkeley County Rams, a minor league football team for men looking for one last shot at breaking the long one.
Comprised of former area high school and college players, the Rams began training camp this week in preparation for their season opener in May.
"We still need players and would welcome any local football player interested in playing," said Rams assistant coach Terry Jackson.
The minimum age requirement to play is 18 years of age.
"Former high school players, college players, anyone interested in playing, are welcome to come out," said Jackson, who will serve as the Rams' special teams coordinator.
The Rams are coached by Larry Young, a Florida prep football product who played collegiately at Auburn. The team's offensive coordinator is Brian Jackson who has coached youth league football in the Holly Hill area.
"There is a lot of football talent from the Lowcountry," Jackson said. "There might be former high school and college players from around Berkeley County who may not know who we are that would like to give football one more shot."
The BC Rams play in the Gridiron Developmental Football League, which consists of 60 teams from around the country. The Rams will line up against a 10-team division featuring regional competition such as the Palmetto Havoc, the Lowcountry Assassins, the Lowcountry Bone Crushers, the Carolina Hornets, the Carolina Venom, and teams from Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, North Charleston, Beaufort and possibly Columbia, according to Jackson.
In addition to players the Rams need coaches, a chain crew, hydration staff, an equipment manager and sponsors.
The Rams season begins May 4. The squad will play a 10-game schedule of five home and five away games at 7 p.m. on Saturdays.

Just curious, why are you hung up on a semi? My personal recomendation is a Marlin 39a, lever action. It will shoot almost as fast as a semi once you get used to it. I'm saving my nickels for one now.
November 23, 2008, 04:54 PM
I like both the Ruger 10/22 and the Henry lever gun for less than $250 plinkers.
Love to have a Marlin 39, but me oh my! They are pricy.
November 23, 2008, 05:03 PM
-how easy is it to mount a scope on a 39A?
-how many rounds in the tube?
-what is the cost of a 39A?
Thank you and God Bless.
November 23, 2008, 06:58 PM
well, i ain't exo, but my brother paid $420 for one, it holds 19 LR rounds in the tube, and it came with a scope rail for both 3/8 dovetail and full size picitinny.
For a cheap semi auto, rem 512, mags are fair, and better trigger than the stock 10/22

Volksquarten 10/22.
November 23, 2008, 07:32 PM
I have lever .22's, but for pure plinkin pleasure you'd have to spend alot more to get more accuracy than the Marlin 60 offers. Experiment with different brands to get the best groups.

ECC should be expanding health science downtown
I applaud the completion of the new Health Science Charter School near the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. This is a clear sign that the region is making a shift to the health science industry in downtown Buffalo. However, it is a shame that an institution such as Erie Community College has not joined in the momentum.
ECC's archaic idea of expanding at its North Campus, with a health science-dominated facility, is sheer ignorance in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars spent downtown on health science. The Health Science Charter School has not only moved closer to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, but it also helped to preserve St. Vincent's Orphanage. I would think a community college can jump leaps and bounds over the progress of one charter school to expand its health science opportunities.
And it is not just a charter school that sees the benefits of the medical campus. It is Gov. Andrew Cuomo, SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher and the Western New York state delegation. I would not rate these people as incompetent, so why does ECC disagree? The college should expand its health science programs in the best place to connect education to jobs. What it is doing now is not best serving the community.

Last thing nation needs is a president like Perry
I don't believe that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's anti-science beliefs and self-confidence are an expression of strong leadership; rather they show us a man with little or no self-awareness, with no appetite for scientific inquiry and a convenient blindness to his lack of vision. If this country is to continue to be a world leader in science and technology, the last thing we need is a president who does not believe in evolution or in human contributions to climate change. His macho pronouncements hide a cunning but intellectually mediocre mind. His vision, while clearly appealing to tea party extremists, will hopefully fail to convince the rest of us.
As for his claims of job creation, the truth is that most of these jobs have been governmental ones, from a government he wants to secede, or have been minimum wage. Try living on that. Should he be elected president, God forbid, one could wonder as to who will be his Dick Cheney, whose job will be to guide him in the direction that Republicans' corporate sponsors will map out for him: elimination of trade unions, reduction or elimination of that "Ponzi" scheme, Social Security, cuts in Medicare and Medicaid and further tax reductions for those who least need them.

IDAs dole out money at taxpayers' expense
A Sept. 13 letter crediting the Amherst Industrial Development Agency for the increase in the financial success of the writer's business, which enabled him to create additional local jobs, reminds me of the following quote attributed to Elbert Hubbard: "To make mistakes is human, but to profit from them is divine." With a wry twist on the intended meaning of this quote, I have no doubt that the writer profited "divinely" from our collective "mistakes" in allowing all these local IDAs to exist.
His assertion that the Amherst IDA is a catalyst for creating meaningful net new job growth because his company benefited from receiving this assistance is highly suspect. The tax abatements and other subsidies handed out by a local IDA because of the supposed overall net job creation of these projects are very doubtful and cannot be verified, given the lack of reliable qualitative documentation to support such claims. If his business in 2006 was bursting at the seams and needed to expand, as he stated, then let his need for funds rest solely upon the merits of his business plan to the various lending institutions available to him.
Today, we have far too many businesses and private interest groups that, all too easily, can appear before our town boards and other appointed dispensers of our hard-earned tax dollars to negotiate their little tax deals independently. This comes at the expense of the economically stressed individual taxpayer and mom-and-pop businesses that stand on their own feet and obtain financing on the individual merits of their credit worthiness and business plans.

Abstinence is best way to prevent pregnancy
In response to Planned Parenthood CEO Karen Nelson, I agree completely that women deserve preventative health care. They deserve advice and treatments that will prevent disease and aliments. However, pregnancy is not a disease. There is a method to prevent pregnancy that is 100 percent effective not only in the prevention of pregnancy but also sexually transmitted diseases. It is natural and safe. It has been used through the centuries. It is abstinence. If that method is rejected, then there are fairly inexpensive over-the-counter methods that are very effective when used together.
All of the other services Nelson mentioned are offered already and should be offered, but there is no reason for agencies that object to contraception to be forced to cover it. If anyone reading this is using one of the more sophisticated methods of contraception, please read the information that comes with it. There are health risks associated with all of these methods.
Nelson is right in saying that birth control has a financial impact on society. First, we will be paying for the increased use of contraceptives if the Department of Health and Human Services has its way. Then we will be paying for the effects that these contraceptives will have on some women. It is possible that, by not covering birth control, agencies might encourage women to consider adapting a healthier lifestyle. That sounds like preventative health care to me.

New Sunday design of paper is excellent
From my perspective, the new, revised Sunday edition of The News has raised the bar to a new level of excellence in print reporting. I savored each and every section as I read them through new eyes. The look and palpable feel of the Sept. 11 edition almost sizzled with the interesting way the many news stories, features, etc. are now fleshed out in ways we haven't experienced in that edition before. I love it!
In addition, the confidence The News exhibited with its decision to unveil these changes on the 10th anniversary of a day our nation, and so many others, will never forget, literally exemplified the conviction it had with its new format. The complete and concise coverage of the tragedy that touched us all on Sept. 11, 2001, was presented with dignity and honor, yet the new format segued into a good, solid read on many other subjects.

In this issue of the Archives, Lozoff et al1 report the findings of a long-term follow-up of children at 10 years of age who were participants in a double-masked, randomized controlled trial conducted from 1991 through 1994 in Santiago, Chile, testing iron-fortified (12.7 mg/L) vs low-iron (2.3 mg/L) infant formula use from 6 to 12 months of age.2 All infants enrolled in the original trial were screened to have no iron deficiency anemia at the outset. Among 57% of the original sample of children who were reached, an intent-to-treat analysis showed that the mean scores on tests of spatial memory and visual-motor integration at 10 years of age were lower in the iron-fortified group compared with the control.1 The mean effect sizes for both these outcomes were small (−0.21), whereas effect sizes for other measures, such as overall IQ, arithmetic, visual perception, and motor coordination, showing a similar negative trend were even smaller, ranging from −0.08 to −0.16, and not significant. Stratified analyses revealed large negative effect sizes (−0.85 to −1.36) of the iron formula among children who had high hemoglobin (Hb) levels (Hb level >12.7-13.0 g/dL, 5.0%-5.5% of the sample) at the start of the trial, whereas those with low Hb level (<10.4-10.7 g/dL, 9%-24% of the sample) benefitted somewhat with the intervention. For a large proportion of children with Hb concentrations in the middle of the distribution (10.8-12.7 g/dL, 70%-90% of the sample) the iron intervention did not have any impact on the measured outcomes. (To convert Hb to grams per liter, multiply by 10.0.)

What is Asthma?
Asthma symptoms may include repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, tightness in the chest, and coughing. Asthma episodes can be caused by a variety of factors: pollen, pet dander, mold, cockroach allergens, dust mites, tobacco smoke, air pollution, strenuous exercise, weather, and some foods and drugs.
How Does Asthma Affect Human Health?
People with asthma can experience acute episodes where the small airways constrict. These episodes may result in symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, chest pain, and chest tightness.
In New Jersey, over 500,000 adults and over 200,000 children currently have asthma. Asthma affects all races, ages and genders. More boys have asthma than girls, but in adulthood, more women are diagnosed with asthma than men. Blacks, Hispanics and urban residents are more likely to be affected with asthma symptoms, as are individuals with a family history of the disease.
What is Being Done to Protect Human Health?
In recognition of asthma as a significant public health issue, the New Jersey Department of Health in 2000 established an asthma awareness program. The Asthma Awareness and Education Program (AAEP) is located within the Division of Family Health Services/Chronic Disease and Prevention Service Unit. The program focuses on improving the health of people living and/or working in New Jersey by prevention, identification and management of asthma, through a partnership among public and private organizations.

India's Supreme Court to Rule on Generic Drug Industry
From Africa's crowded AIDS clinics to the malarial jungles of Southeast Asia, the lives of millions of ill people in the developing world are hanging in the balance ahead of a legal ruling that will determine whether India's drug companies can continue to provide cheap versions of many life-saving medicines.
The case -- involving Swiss drug maker Novartis AG's cancer drug Glivec -- pits aid groups that argue India plays a vital role as the pharmacy to the poor against drug companies that insist they need strong patents to make drug development profitable. A ruling by India's Supreme Court is expected in early 2013.
"The implications of this case reach far beyond India, and far beyond this particular cancer drug," said Leena Menghaney, from the aid group Doctors Without Borders. "Across the world, there is a heavy dependence on India to supply affordable versions of expensive patented medicines."
With no costs for developing new drugs or conducting expensive trials, India's $26 billion generics industry is able to sell medicine for as little as one-tenth the price of the companies that developed them, making India the second-largest source of medicines distributed by UNICEF in its global programs.
Indian pharmaceutical companies such as Cipla, Cadila Laboratories and Lupin have emerged over the past decade as major sources of generic cancer, malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS drugs for poor countries that can't afford to pay Western prices.
The six-year-old case that just wrapped up in the Supreme Court revolves around a legal provision in India's 2005 patent law that is aimed at preventing companies from getting fresh patents for making only minor changes to existing medicines -- a practice known as "evergreening."
Novartis argued that a new version of Glivec -- marketed in the U.S. as Gleevec -- was a significant change from the earlier version because it was more easily absorbed by the body.
India's Patent Controller turned down the application, saying the change was an obvious development, and the new medicine was not sufficiently distinct from the earlier version to warrant a patent extension.
Patient advocacy groups hailed the decision as a blow to evergreening.
But Western companies argued that India's generic manufacturers were cutting the incentive for major drug makers to invest in research and innovation if they were not going to be able to reap the exclusive profits that patents bring.
"This case is about safeguarding incentives for better medicines so that patients' needs will be met in the future," says Eric Althoff, a Novartis spokesman.
International drug companies have accused India of disregarding intellectual property rights, and have pushed for stronger patent protection that would weaken India's generics industry.
Earlier this year, an Indian manufacturer was allowed to produce a far cheaper version of the kidney and liver cancer treatment sorefinib, manufactured by Bayer Corp.
Bayer was selling the drug for about $5,600 a month. Natco, the Indian company, said its generic version would cost $175 a month, less than 1/30th as much. Natco was ordered to pay 6 percent in royalties to Bayer.

Varietal Guide
AAghiorghitiko (red)(Ah-zheor-GEE-tee-koh)Aghiorghitiko, which is Greek for St George, is a real charmer, oozing with fruit and soft tannins, with a dark purple, 'black', colour. It produces wines with a wide range of styles, from light, fruity, full-flavoured rosés to medium-bodied, juicy reds and seriously fine, cask-fermented examples. Only wines made from this variety can be called Nemea, the largest of the Greek appellations. Soils vary from oxide-rich red soils to sandy clay and marl. A notion of Cru is bound to develop in lower-yield, hillside sites such as Koutsi, while other quality sites include Ancient Nemea, Gymno, Ahladia and the cooler-climate, high Nemea valley of Asprokambos. A quantum leap forward in quality has spurred substantial investment from outsiders.
Aglianico (red)(Ag-LEE-ahn-ick-oh)Robust, quality southern Italian red grape variety found mainly on the volcanic slopes of Campania and Basilicata in Italy's south.
Airén (white)(Ahy-RAIN)Neutral, drought-resistant Spanish variety grown mainly around the La Mancha region with the dubious distinction of being the world's most widely planted vine variety.
Albana (white)(Ahl-BAH-nah)In Albana di Romagna, a fairly ordinary white appellation which owed its DOCG upgrade not so much to quality as to the power and influence of those responsible for its administration. On occasions, it rises above the norm.
Albari�o/Alvarinho (white)(Ahl-ba-REE-n'yo) / (Ahl-vah-REE-n'yo)High quality variety grown in Galicia's Rias Baixas region, where it produces aromatic, full-bodied, peachy and grapefruity whites which go beautifully with the local Atlantic shellfish, and known as Alvarinho in neighbouring Portugal's Vinho Verde.
Aleatico (red)(Ah-lay-AH-tee-co)Italian red variety with Muscat-like fragrance grown in Italy's south, on Elba and Corsica, and the central Asian republics of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Alicante Bouschet (red)(Ah-lee-KAHNT Boo-SHAY)Like carignan, one of the Midi's productive varieties planted mainly for its deep colour and known as Garnacha Tintorera (Grenache to dye for) in Spain.
Aligoté (white)(Ah-lee-go-tay)Aligoté plays the Robin role to Chardonnay's Batman in Burgundy, where it produces crisp, sharp, if neutral dry whites, with a lemony tang of acidity. You can understand why aligoté is traditionally used to add a bit of verve and bite to the local cr�me de cassis to make Kir, or Champagne for Kir Royale. In the C�te Chalonnais in southern Burgundy, ally goaty, as the English like to call it, is the exclusive white grape variety in the Bouzeron appellation. It crops up in eastern Europe and is often used for sparkling wine in the former USSR wine producing countries.
Aramon (red)(Ah-rah-mawn)One of the triumvirate of workhorse Midi varieties planted in the last century for mass production plonk, now on its way out.
Arneis (white)(Ahr-NAYZ)Aromatic, nutty grape variety native to north-west Italy's Piedmonte, where it produces the delicately fruity, herby dry whites of Roero.
Assyrtiko (white)(Ahs-SEER-TEE-koh)Arguably Greece's finest white cultivar, Assyrtiko is more of a wine-lover's grape than a crowd pleaser, and is prized for its high acidity and staying power. It performs an admirable double act, producing fine bone-dry wines as well as amber-hued dessert wines. Although its origins lie on the volcanic island of Santorini, since the late 1970s it has adapted itself well to the diverse soils and microclimates of mainland Greece, where its unmistakable severity is softened. In northern Greece, near Thessaloniki, a leading estate blends it with the semi-aromatic, Viognier-like Malagousia. It is also grown successfully on the island of Evia, and is a vital blending component in Attica estate wines, where it is vinified alongside the Roditis and Savatiano varieties. Santorini Vinsantos are made by sun-drying Assyrtiko with 10% of the rarer, more aromatic Aidani grapes for up to 10 days. These raisined grapes, after a slow fermentation and extended cask ageing (5-20 years), produce amber-hued dessert wines.
BBacchus (white)(Back-uss)Aromatic, Sauvignon-like dry white, a crossing of Silvaner plus Riesling with M�ller-Thurgau popular in Germany, also used in England.
Baga (red)(BAH-ga)This is the main red variety in the Bairrada region of Portugal (hence also known as Tinta Bairrada), where it produces reds with a distinctively honeyed, beeswaxy character.
Barbera (red)(Bar-BARE-ah)As widely planted in Italy as Sangiovese, but at its best in the hills around Alba and Asti in Italy's north-west, barbera is a variety whose style varies considerably according to yield. When it's low-yielding and matured in small oak casks, it can be concentrated, rich and deliciously cherryish and capable of ageing well. In high yields it's more of a soft, everyday glugging red whose high acidity makes it ideal for relatively rich dishes. Outside Italy, Barbera is widely planted in California, where, with few exceptions, it has missed out on Sangiovese's Cal-Ital-led surge in popularity, and in Argentina where it can be juicy and cherryish and a very good partner for pasta, risotto and pizza.
Blaufr�nkisch (red)(Blaow-FRAHN-keesh)Juicy, high quality Austrian variety capable of making deliciously succulent reds and can be good when aged in oak and in blends with Cabernet Sauvignon. Known elsewhere as Limberger, Kékfrankos, Nagyburgundi, Frankovka, Vojvodina and Franconia.
Boal (red)(BOH-ahl)One of the four main varieties that are used to make Madeira. It is also used a a style level of Madeira that is medium-sweet.
Bombino (white)(Bom-BEEN-o)This is an important southern Italian white variety which at low yields can produce dry whites with character such as Valentini's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo.

Madeira's Levadas
By Viator, December 2013
Levada do Caldeirão Verde
This popular hike travels some 23 miles and begins in the Queimadas Forestry Park. Hikers climb 990 meters of elevations and wind through Santana. Levada do Caldeirão Verde tunnels through mountainsides, so flashlights are necessary to navigate darker passes. The path's steep ascents are known for causing vertigo, which means visitors should precede with extreme caution.
Levada do Caniçal
An easier pass, Levada do Caniçal covers 7.1 miles from Marocos to the Caniçal Tunnel. A well-kept path loops through indigenous acacia, making it a peaceful, scenic route through the countryside.
Vereda do Pico Ruivo
Spend about 90 minutes climbing this trail to the island's highest peak, where travelers are rewarded with spectacular views of Madeira mountains and the vast Atlantic coast. Vereda do Pico Ruivo also connects to three other trails that lead to the second highest peak, the central mountain range and the western side of the island, making it an ideal starting point for a longer Levada adventure.

The service was extraordinary. Being an Elite Member of the Captain's Club gave us many perks that we really appreciated. We were treated special the entire week. My husband and I utilized the private continental breakfasts and the happy hour offerings to Elite Members. I thought if they were going to offer this, we should make the effort to attend so that it will always be offered. If these amenities are not well attended, they will go away. We had coupons for Internet use which really helped since that is always a slow and expensive process for email on the ship.
I loved the brunch with the ice carvings and beautiful food decorations. That way a classy touch since most ships have eliminated midnight buffet.
Entertainment was over the top. The Captain and his officers participated in games and fun on the ship with the passengers. I haven't seen that very much.
We were invited to the Captain's table one night which was an extraordinary experience and a first for me.
I can't say enough good about this ship and staff. Top notch Cruise Director; Lisa, great repeater's hostess; Donna. We will be back, Celebrity!

Maryland just last year dropped seven sports because it couldn't afford them. Now, with a move to the Big Ten coming in 2014-2015, the Terrapins have money to burn.
And there's more where that came from.
The Baltimore Sun reports that in addition to millions more Maryland will make in conference revenue sharing, it will also be given a travel subsidy expected to be worth between $20 million-$30 million.
The Big Ten in return gets into the Washington D.C.-area television market.
When negotiating the move from the ACC to the Big Ten, Maryland asked for a travel subsidy, according to the Sun. Going to Big Ten schools will be twice as much as the costs associated with traveling to ACC schools.
It wasn't clear whether the money would come in a lump sum or in payments.
Maryland's team travel budget this year is about $3 million, the Sun learned. The projected figure for 2014-2015 is $6 million. Sports Illustrated reported that Maryland would make $32 million next year in conference revenue sharing and even more after the Big Ten negotiates a new television deal in 2017.
Rutgers, which is leaving the Big East for the Big Ten, did not request a travel subsidy.
"I don't think it's so much about subsidies," Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti told the Baltimore Sun. "We were comfortable from the beginning that revenues are going to equitably address the travel situation. With certain sports like football, we charter-traveled to every game, so football will really look the same. Basketball, there will be some more (travel), but nonconference scheduling will balance that out."


text: I agree with Zoebird on this, if it works for you go with it, if not just make an adjustment. Personally I monitor how I feel during workouts, sleep patterns, energy level, sex drive etc and adjust my diet macros accordingly. Currently I'm finding that adding a great salad, some cooked vegetables and fruit a couple of times a week works best for me. It also helps that I love the taste and variety they add.

One stormy night, a jagged bolt of lightning will strike the roof of the Alexander Kasser Theater in Montclair, sending millions of volts of electricity crackling and surging into this modern-dance laboratory.
When that night comes, Jedediah Wheeler, who directs the Peak Performances series at Montclair State University, will exult. Wheeler's latest provocative event was a work called "Ferocious Beauty: Genome," which the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange performed at the Kasser last weekend. The presenter would like nothing better than to see his pet projects come to life, their eyelids fluttering open to popular acclaim in the way of "Dancing with the Stars" on television. ("It is ALIVE!") So far, however, the shows have been exciting, but the crowds disappointingly thin.
"Ferocious Beauty" is no monster, yet avant-garde dance and science deal in far-out concepts in a way that scares some people out of their socks. This is a phenomenal dance about genetic engineering and the decisions soon to face humanity.
Lerman brings her multi-generational performers together with molecular biologists to ask some tough questions. Should human beings live forever? While eliminating cruel, hereditary diseases, can we resist the temptation to perfect our species in ways that might be less desirable? What is perfection, anyway? Who gets to decide? And what does evolution mean to ordinary folks like you and me?
The choreographer approaches these issues by combining the latest, whiz-bang video technology with the plainspoken charm of barefoot dancing, folk tales ("Jack and the Magic Sack") and monologues about apple pie. Droll characters people the stage, from the 19th-century priest Gregor Mendel to a dominatrix who snaps her coiled whip of DNA to make sure the class is paying attention. This is a dance about sexual reproduction, so a partial strip-tease illustrates the way DNA "unzips" before combining.
Dancer Gesel Mason portrays a woman who couldn't care less about whale fins. Only problem is, her mother has breast cancer and her grandmother no longer recognizes her. The cure for such illnesses lies in analyzing the genetic blueprint that links us to whales.
Putting a face on the vast, indifferent processes of genetic inheritance seems key to understanding, yet personalizing the issues also makes them harder. In one wrenching scene of "Ferocious Beauty," dancer Thomas Dwyer, who is 73, sits slumped in a folding chair contemplating his mortality. He can still do amazing pushups. But his day will come. We know from hearing the "Jack" story that eternal life for everyone would produce chaos. But what about Thomas?
Lerman offers some amusing solutions to the impending immortality crisis -- at age 90, mandatory sky-diving; at 130, join a Russian roulette club -- but viewers must answer this question and others for themselves.
Perhaps oddly, "Ferocious Beauty" moves from early images of people thinking, pacing back and forth with their hands behind their backs, to a conclusion that suggests surrender to a Higher Power -- in this case, evolution. Ironically reminding us of Alvin Ailey's "Revelations," the ensemble dons white, flounced dresses to wade in the ocean primeval. Mason arches her body backwards, as a magnificent, singing Leviathan seems to pass over her on the video screen above.
"Ferocious Beauty," sadly, has ended its run. But like Brad and Janet, audiences should come up to the Kasser next season to see what's on the slab.

IIRC, the last movement quest is the one where your 'run' bar is extended from 15s to 20s. The item needed for that quest costs ~60g. For the wall run quest(2nd to last run quest) you have to buy an item from the vendor at the last PvP daily camp of your faction. I think it looks like a horn and costs less than 1g. The only thing about that is you must be a certain PvP rank in order to buy it.

Welcome to the Community Action Board of Southwest Lake/Cook! We are excited to have you here!
The Community Action Boards of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago were created so that we could come together and make a difference in the lives of the more than 130,000 people currently living with epilepsy in Illinois. Community Action Boards are the first line of contact for many of the communities we serve. Whether it's establishing program opportunities, planning event initiatives, or discovering new fundraising opportunities, these powerful action boards build lasting relationships throughout Illinois, and help the Foundation realize its goal of creating a seizure free world.
The Southwest Lake/Cook CAB has been working hard to support EFGC's programs and raise awareness about the foundation. Over the summer, they took part in the Palatine 4th of July Parade. This was a great opportunity to show their community how important it is to know about epilepsy and what can be done to help. Check out pictures of the group constructing their very own float and then participating in the parade!
They have a busy year ahead… check out their schedule below and see if you would like to take part!
Zip codes included in this region are:
60004, 60005, 60007, 60008, 60010, 60011, 60021, 60047, 60060, 60067, 60074, 60089, 60098, 60107, 60120, 60168, 60169, 60173, 60192, 60193, 60194, 60195, 60867

The tiny Birmingham suburb that hosts the annual Mayberry Day festival could ride a new interstate into becoming a future, big-time player in economic development.
Graysville has long been known as just another community on U.S. 78. With a 2010 Census population of 2,165, it captures the spotlight once a year when it pays tribute to the small-town life depicted on "The Andy Griffith Show" television program and its town of Mayberry.
But Mayor Doug Brewer said the roads to the future are converging on Jefferson County's Mayberry. The city will have three interchanges with the future Interstate 22. It has three exits on U.S. 78. The proposed, controversial Northern Beltline, if it is ever built, is proposed to have two Graysville exits.
Brewer said I-22, previously known as Corridor X, will be the real catalyst.
"It's going to be the economic boost the city has needed since it incorporated 65 years ago," Brewer said. "It could drive our growth for the next 65 years."
It's a bigger way of thinking about economic development than Graysville took just three years ago. Then, it was a commitment by home-improvement retailer Lowe's to build a store there that Brewer and others hailed as the big recruitment boon.
Not exactly a Mercedes-Benz plant, but the result has had a significant impact on Graysville. Brewer said the city's tax base has been boosted 45 percent since Lowe's came.
"You can tell each month when the Lowe's tax receipts come in," Brewer said.
Lowe's is also one of the biggest customers on the city-owned gas system. Graysville also sells natural gas to businesses in surrounding municipalities and the Jefferson County Board of Education is its largest customer. The city's gas system had a gross profit last year of $4 million, Brewer said.
Graysville's water system is also debt free and operating in the black, Brewer said.
Other businesses have opened. M&M Tires, a 24-hour industrial truck tire and repair business, came to the city. Uncle Mon's Restaurant reopened. And Brewer said a thrift store was a welcome addition.
Again, those seem more like Mayberry-esque expectations than the kind of industrial and commercial growth expected of an emerging city.
But Patrick Murphy, head of economic development at the Birmingham Business Alliance, said the I-22 corridor is going to help every community on the new interstate between the two major cities up their game.
"Graysville and all of the communities on I-22 are going to have a tremendous opportunity to garner some industrial growth because of the distinct advantages between Birmingham and Memphis," Murphy said. "Accessibility is going to be key, as well as the proper infrastructure to support new industry."
Brewer believes they will have both, though he admits the Industrial Development Board in Graysville has little in the way of industrial sites and nothing that would be deemed a major industrial park.
Graysville's attempt to get a bill in the Legislature earlier this year to annex 2,000 acres along I-22 failed. Graysville wanted to leapfrog Adamsville and Brookside to bring in the land, requiring legislative approval. The measure was tabled and never brought up for a vote.
Brewer said the Alabama Department of Transportation has plans for a new road project that will create better access to Graysville's main street, U.S. 78 and I-22.
He said he would like to see a travel center built next to I-22 with gas and a restaurant for buses, trucks and recreation vehicles. And he does foresee a day when there will be industrial sites with infrastructure waiting for new companies to build there.
Murphy said those are increasingly rare in the metro area.
'Constant challenge'
"It's a constant challenge in our community to find shovel-ready sites ready to develop with the infrastructure in place," he said. "It takes a long-term commitment by the communities to support that kind investment."
Can Graysville be forward-thinking and broaden its expectations? Brewer believes so.
The Regional Planning Commission recognized Graysville's master plan with one of its Alabama Community of Excellence designations. Brewer was awarded an American Planning Association's Distinguished Leadership award and he achieved an Advance Municipal Official Certification Degree from the Alabama League of Municipalities.
Brewer said he has talked to economic developers and companies trying to lure them to Graysville. Some prospects are still out there and could locate in the city.
"We've got a lot of great things in the pot to cook and we just can't wait to eat it," Brewer said.
There is one sign that Brewer is looking at Graysville becoming something bigger than Jefferson County's Mayberry -- that the city is ready for change and all that might entail.
The 27-hole Mountain View Golf Course near I-22 is already a popular recreation spot in the area. But Brewer said he has broached the subject with officials at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail about turning Mountain View into the next Trail course.
But Brewer winced when Trail officials mentioned tearing up the course and doing all that would be necessary to make it RTJ Golf Trail-worthy.
"I don't see why they should have to do that much work, but they're the experts," Brewer said.

Photos: The Perfect Jeans for Every Shape
Your bust is smaller than your hips, and you have a defined waist. Your body type often requires a smaller size on top than bottom. Triangle is in fact the most common female shape.
Avoid denim with "whiskering" at the thighs as this will add texture and bulk to an area you're trying to minimize. Look for a solid, dark wash that falls straight down from the widest part of the hips.

Six years ago Mary Lou Retton sprinted, swooped and sprang her way into America's heart as she became the nation's first woman gymnast to win an Olympic gold medal. This time she floated serenely in folds of white silk and satin into the heart of her main man, Shannon Kelley. Mary Lou's latest bid for the gold meant exchanging rings with the former University of Texas quarterback in a Dec. 29 wedding ceremony that the bride called "a dream come true." Moments after the I dos were solemnly pronounced in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Houston, the powerful pixie's natural exuberance returned: She leapt into the air and crowed, "Yeeee-haaa!"
As the clock neared midnight during the reception at Houston's plush River Oaks Country Club, some 800 guests, including a core group of Retton's '84 Olympic teammates, continued to crowd for kisses. Even Retton's familiar oomph had begun to fade. 'This is harder than the Olympics," confided the weary bride. "There I only had one thing to try to do."
Retton had no way of knowing that she was winning more than an Olympic championship back then, but Shannon Kelley had a premonition. "I know it sounds like a fairy tale," he says, "but when I first saw Mary Lou on television, I told my mom I had the strangest feeling that someday I would meet her and we would get married." Introduced 10 months later by a mutual friend, Kelley was attracted by Retton's competitive spirit—"When we play a game, she really gets in there and tries to beat me"—and delights in surprising her.
During a drive home from the airport on Valentine's Day two years ago, Kelley, 25, announced he was having second thoughts about their planned engagement. But as they passed through a toll-booth, the collector handed Retton, 22, a note. It read, "Will you marry me?" Recalls Retton: "I just started bawling."
The newlyweds plan to settle in Houston, where Kelley sells real estate. Prized possessions in their condo include a glass-encased Wheaties box bearing Retton's likeness, and three TVs—so that the ex-quarterback can watch several sporting events at once. Retton says she'd like to have "a bunch of kids" but plans to put off starting a family for a few years while she pursues a career as a motivational speaker. By Mary Lou's reckoning, they have plenty of time. Says she: "I think we will live together forever."
...And Rod, Vanna And Barbara Ring In The New Year
British rocker Rod Stewart, 45, married New Zealand-born model Rachel Hunter, 21, in Beverly Hills Dec. 15. Courtship: a heart-stopping four months. It's Stewart's second marriage, Hunter's first; he has two children by first wife Alana and a daughter by longtime companion Kelly Emberg—whom, until recently, he was expected to wed. "Rod has a bit of a reputation," conceded the bride's mother, Janine Philips. "But he says this is the one romance that will last him forever."
Former I Dream of Jeannie star (and current Dallas regular) Barbara Eden, 56, planned to say "I do" in San Francisco on Jan. 5 to L.A. real estate developer Jon Eicholtz, 52. It's her third marriage, his second (his wife of 16 years, Jeanine, died in 1974). Friends for two years, they became lovebirds last January, when she took an Egyptian cruise; he learned of her plans and secretly booked himself a cabin. "I spent the entire trip wearing no makeup," says Eden. "True love!"
It was vows, not vowels, that were exchanged New Year's Eve in Aspen, as Wheel of Fortune letter-turner Vanna White, 33, wed L.A. restaurateur George Santopietro, 44. Santopietro had proposed only the week before, mid-dinner, at Aspen's Caribou Club. White took less than 30 seconds to give him an emphatic Y-E-S. It's the second marriage for Santopietro (Linda Evans is a former steady) and the first for White. George Hamilton (on view in The Godfather Part III) served as Santopietro's best man. He caught the garter.

Jackson returns
October 11, 2012 - Mike McLain
BEREA -- Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday as he recovered from a concussion.
Jackson was hurt in the second quarter of the 41-27 loss to the New York Giants. His absence paved the way for a 200-yard rushing performance by running back Ahmad Bradshaw.
Jackson didn't practice Wednesday. At the time coach Pat Shurmur indicated that there was a possibility that Jackson would play Sunday.
There news wasn't as promising for other injured players. Missing practice were receivers Travis Benjamin, Mohamed Massaquoi and Jordan Norwood; defensive back Tashaun Gipson and defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin.

Considering it's been five years since the Arizona Cardinals drafted Matt Leinart 10th overall, it's about the time where the now free agent quarterback can be unofficially deemed a bust.
Leinart, however, has yet to wave the white flag and pack in his career, despite being discarded from his original team last season and settling for a one-year backup gig with the Houston Texans.
Last week, back at the University of Southern California where he won the Heisman Trophy and two national championships, Leinart was inspired to declare we haven't heard the last of him as a potential solid NFL passer.
"My career has been like a roller coaster," Leinart told USC's The Daily Trojan while attending a journalism panel on campus. "You never know what is going to happen next."
One of the panel co-attendees was fellow Trojans product and New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who's already enjoyed a much more prosperous stint in the league, going to AFC championship games in his first two years. As for Leinart in Arizona, he noted he was in a tough position with a coaching change from Dennis Green to Ken Whisenhunt, and then also had to deal with proving himself over a future Hall of Famer, Kurt Warner.
Leinart quickly fell out favor under Whisenhunt during the Cardinals' open quarterback competition to replace the retired Warner last offseason, but feels he learned much from his stint behind Matt Schaub in Houston. During Leinart's time in Arizona, he was knocked for his limited work ethic on the field.
"I am not going to give up," Leinart told the newspaper. "I have had a lot of learning experiences and ups and downs, but I know that I have grown as a player and as a person, on and off the football field. I am totally ready to take advantage of the next opportunity I get."

Where Does pacquiao's Skill Set Rank Among ALL TIME GREATS?
Even when he was at his very best no one serious considered him complete in the skills department. There are some very obvious skills that are lacking: unable to cut off a ring, can't fight inside, jab not too great, etc.
Then again you can't get to where he did by having no skills at all.
Hopefully, my thread doesn't get moved. I feel a better discussion can be had here where people have knowledge of boxing history

Manny lacks a lot of the classic skills we look for in great fighters. But, he got a ton out of what he did possess.......he is incredibly fast and could ambush foes with rapid bursts of powers shots (almost all left hands). He is awkward (though not uncoordinated) and unpredictable. Even though he relies so much on his left hand he darts in and out with it so quickly it's always been hard to detect when it's coming.
He does not have much of a right jab, hook, or uppercut. His right was surpisingly effective when he followed a left hand with it very quickly- throwing it more like jab/straight right than an actual hook.
He did not really fight on the inside. Staying in and working is something he didn't do.
Altogether, I say lacking or using classic textbook stuff may have made him more effective in the long run.

he was a vicious offensive fighter in his prime'
vicious. his speed of hand and foot, as well as his power and willingness to throw combinations were what set him apart. in his prime he was a very accurate puncher.
his skills defensively certainly aren't on a tier with great fighters, but he made up for it with a hell of a chin and one punch knockout or fight changing power that carried all the way up to some of the biggest and most durable WW you will ever see. clottey was 170 on fight night for some of his fights. margarito was in the 160's. both had terrific chins. margarito was on the downside, but manny broke his face. he hit so hard josh clottey shelled up completely (and by all accounts nearly sh#t himself. literally.)
all of that said, it was the physical tools that pacquaio had that made him a great. he had some of the fastest hands and feet you will ever see on a boxer, with one punch power and a great chin to boot. oh, and he was a southpaw. one in ten men are left handed. that's a huge advantage that often goes under the radar, especially when a guy can punch.

He is a skilled fighter. He may not be overwhelmingly skilled, but, he certainly has skills.
But, historically, I wouldn't rank him very highly in terms of solely skills.

Very skilled fighter but not in a classic sense. A lot like Ali in that sense. Not a fantastic jab, average ring general, no infighting skills and vulnerable to a few punches, but amazing speed, natural power and, later on, combination skills. I know people say he just flurries 1-2's, but watch him eviscerate Cotto. He throws body-head-body-head combinations off of one foot while pivoting around him. It's insane. Back in 08-10, he was one of the most naturally gifted athletes in the world. So yeah, he had flaws, but he was a hurricane.

More athletic and powerful than skilled, but his skills improved greatly over the course of his career. If he only had to fight southpaws he would have looked a lot better skillwise on average.

he's a very good fighter, but he's in an era where all of the skilled athletes have moved onto UFC and NFL.
he probably would have been a tier 3 fighter in the 60's and 70's.

As an offensive fighter, Pacquiao is one of the greatest to ever step into the ring. His power, although famed in the left hand, still provides a weapon with the right, his speed of hand and foot is just remarkable and his reflexes are cat like. Manny can also throw punches from angles other fighters can't even imagine and he does it by mostly staying balanced, unlike say Nas. What he did to Barrera is still one of the most brutal performances inside a boxing by a young up and comer.
I haven't even begun to mention an ATG chin (I know, I know Marquez 4) and a never say die attitude. He went to war with some of the greatest fighters in history and never took a step back. He loves a good fight. Blood and guts is his forte.
Where the Pacman has been lacking is quite obvious, his defence often leaves himself wide open to counter right hands and looping shots. But he has been so good offensively for so long, hardly any fighter managed to knock him down or seriously hurt him till Marquez (the early teenage losses don't seem so relevant).
Offensively, I'd have Pac right near the top bit defensively he is middle of the pack. Having said that, overall he would give most fighters in boxing history from fw to ww the fight of their lives.

What are you most proud of? Learning to read charts and to cable and I also learned to carry my yarn in my right hand; Irish cottage knitting style
update 1/6/2014 - currently on row 20 and it's moving along.
I decided after wearing my favorite suit coat that was nipped in at the waist that I would regret not doing the waist shaping, so from row 44 I ripped back to row 8 to start over and do waist shaping! Carol helped me add 4" to the overall length and figure out the waist shaping as well. Now if I could just find her response to my question on the site. I am on row 36 for the second time but have learned a lot along the way so doing it twice might not have been so bad!

Rep. Pence Applauds Pro-Life House Republicans and Democrats
During last Friday's March for Life, Mike Pence, (R-IN) applauded the efforts of both pro-life Republicans and Democrats in the House for inserting language restricting federal funding of abortion in the health care reform bill. He noted that their work, coupled with the election of Scott Brown, (R-MA) to the Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy, has put an end to the current version of health care reform and has signaled a return of this nation to "common sense and common values."
Washington D.C., Jan 25, 2010 / 09:26 pm (CNA).- Following Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) statement that she didn't think it's possible to pass the Senate version of the health care bill in the House, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said that the pro-abortion language in the bill played a "critical role" in its demise.
During an interview with Cybercast News at last Friday's March for Life in Washington D.C., Rep. Pence credited "the pro-life Republicans and Democrats who took a stand in the House of Representatives on the traditional language that was encompassed first in the Hyde Amendment and then in the Stupak-Pitts Amendment," noting that their work contributed immensely to the current situation of health care reform.
Unlike the House version of the health care bill, which included Hyde amendment restrictions on the federal funding of abortion in the Stupak-Pitts amendment, the Senate version mandated all federally funded health insurance policies to have one option that included abortion.

NorthernDancers ... That was very well said.
If there is a wait your turn problem, it's inside a single federation. Unfortunately for W&P, Canada has lots of talent, and they may really have to fight to keep their number 2 slot in Canada if one of the two teams that Canada sends to Worlds with V&M finishes at least sixth.
In the US, the case of Samuelson & Bates is pertinent, who got passed by the Shibutanis while they were injured. And further back in time, the case of Gregory & Petukhov, who were passed by Davis & White while injured. Neither team kept skating after that.
In Russia, Monko & Khaliavin slid behind Sinitsina & Zhiganshin while injured.
So we'll have to wait & see how Gilles & Poirier do at Worlds.
Personally, I think Weaver & Poje have shown great toughness, and they'll prevail, but it's not going to be a slam dunk. They'll need that toughness.

That's such a shame
I really like W/P- despite their issues with levels, I was one of those who really liked their FD this season (if not their rather disappointingly generic SD). I hope that she recovers well and that they can keep up their position in Canada! I know that a lot of people get injuries in ice skating and it is pretty much part and parcel of the sport- but this is not v. good timing...
The closest thing to a report I've seen is a tweet from PJ Kwong
@michellehacon I have not spoken to Kaitlyn directly but have it on good authority that it's true - more details if/when I hear -#cbcskate
G & P had more going on than losing their momentum after the fall. Dale Gregory (Melissa's mom) was fighting cancer and lost that battle. The two were very close and Melissa's perspective changed a bit. They do shows and seminars and have an after school type program teaching through skating life lessons. I'd say they're winning in other ways.
The original Facebook post cited at the top of this thread:
International Figure Skating
Saturday at 8:53pm
I heard that Kaitlyn Weaver suffered a broken ankle in a training session this evening. If so, not good news.http://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...d=278550292537
AFAIK, no subsequent confirmation from IFS.
A long injury causes teams to really take stock, for various reasons.
I have heard though, that W&P are going to try to make it to Worlds, and that no surgery is required. I can't verify that this is true, but I hope it is so.
My gut feeling is that they will be there. She's young, healthy, and it also sounds as if she is very motivated and determined.......Good on her and Andrew.
Kaitlyn is undergoing surgery today. As skate canada reports on twitter they will miss nationals
We really appreciate all of the support of our followers and fans. We wanted to wait until we were sure of the situation, and all the implications before we confirmed what had happened, said Kaitlyn Weaver. Andrew and I will definitely keep you posted on the results of the surgery and the progress as the weeks unfold. http://www.skatecanada.ca/AboutUs/Ne...S/Default.aspx

Since Kaitlyn is having surgery, the chances of their making it to Worlds seem slim. Worlds is in early March this year, less than 12 weeks from now.
I'm feeling just devastated for these two.But as Ravenesque implies , I feel they have the emotional and mental toughness to overcome this disaster. Over the years , I've come to admire and respect this quality in them as much as their skating .
All the comparisons to teams that have been passed by that have been made here don't really resonate with me , because W/P are still young and on the upswing in their career ( unlike D/S ), they will not be returning with new partners ( unlike C/B ) ,etc.etc. I think a more fitting comparison would be to V/M.
Of course , all of this is without knowing the exact details of the medical situation , but I can't doubt that they will still have a strong partnership . We know they have an excellent coaching situation , and are already well regarded on the international scene. Any of the teams who may make strides in their absence would be foolish to think they'd no longer be in contention.
And doris is right to allude to politics within the federation. Skate Canada must ,must , must, just stand back and let the chips fall where they may this year. Ignore the ludicrous scores from last year's nationals and look at the international scores this year ..there really is no daylight between G/P and P/I ,and not all that much between G/P and O/W ... RH only had one GP , but we know where they managed to place last year , and their talent is not in question.
I hope they will undertake to fund 6 teams again , as they did when V/M were absent. What with the wealth of talent and assuming W/P will be back,they can't clearly set up for the Olympic year anyway. Just let it play out.
They still skate beautifully though. wish they'd come back up and do another seminar in Alaska!
