Red Sox fans, you've got to admit it: Josh Beckett and J.D. Drew are among the most overrated players in the league. Just admit it.
Yes, Josh Beckett has won 20 games, with a 3.27 ERA. Well, that's not bad.
Besides that one good season, lets look at two others:
2006, his first year:
16-11 with a 5.01, yes above five, ERA. So, how's your ace look Red Sox fans?
How 'bout last year: 12-10, with a 4.03 ERA.
Just as a compairisan, how was the Yankee's ace in 2006 and 2008?
In 2006, Chien-Ming Wang was 19-6 (almost 20 wins) with a 3.63 ERA. Better than 5.01, yes no?
In 2008, Mike "Moose" Mussina had 20 wins to 9 losses, with a 3.37 ERA.
Just for another compairisan, let's look at a team who had many problems with pitching those two years:
The Seattle Mariners:
In 2006, ace Gil Meche, that's right, Gil Meche, did better than Beckett: He went 11-8 with a 4.48 ERA.
In 2008, Felix Hernandez went 9-11 with a 3.45 ERA. So, the Mariner's ace was better than the Red Sox ace. Congrats!
How 'bout the Pirates?
Pual Maholm was batter than Beckett in 2008, and Zach Duke was better in 2006.The
Devil Rays in 2006: Scott Kazmir, anyone?
The Reds: Bronson and Edison, both better.
How about a glorified AAA team: The Washington Nationals: 2006: Anyone ever heard of Mike O'Connor? 3-8 with a 4.80 ERA. 2008: My favorite underrated ace, John Lannan, 9-15 with a 3.91 ERA.
The only team I could find with a worse ace: The 2006 Kansas City Royals.
What I'm saying is that Beckett was basically the worst ace in the league those two years. For a 'premir player,' the guy's a little sub-par.
As for Drew, lets see how Jim Rice's pick for AL MVP has done this year so far: T
he 33 year old is batting .260 with a mere 16 home runs and just 50 RBI. Sounds more like the National's five hitter than the Red Sox five hitter. Speaking of the Nationals and there five hitter, lets see how Josh Willinghan is doing:
.301 average with 21 homers and 56 RBI. Let me remind you he plays on the Nationals.
If you aren't convinced by now, you are really stupid and ignorant. And you can't go through life like that, unless it's in politics. (Dan Quale, George Bush's and most recently Sarah Palin and Joe Lieberman tought us that!)
If you feel I'm wrong still, comment. I'm sure that these two players are overrated, and I want you too to be complitly convinced.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown
It is a great honour to be the elected Mayor of Wellington - a wonderful city with a proud record of innovative thinking, that acknowledges our Treaty partners as first settlers and welcomes both new New Zealanders and visitors to live, work, study and play.
I believe in leading a city in which people feel fully engaged in the decisions which affect them; a city in which businesses can thrive in a flourishing economy which supports rather than compromises our environment; a city marked out by the excellence of our arts and culture, employment, education, recreation and sporting opportunities.
As the capital city, Wellington needs to lead the way in the challenges ahead, and together we can make Wellington stand out as a beacon of all that is best about New Zealand and our diverse population.
Wellington is a compact, cosmopolitan city close to the wild nature of forests and oceans. It deserves its Latin tag "Suprema a situ" and is absolutely, positively the best little capital in the world.
Celia Wade-Brown was born in West London and grew up in a council flat overlooking the Paddington railway line. After a "gap year" working as a laboratory assistant in a girls' school in Ghana and travelling in Africa, she studied Chemistry, English and Philosophy at Nottingham University. She began her IT career at IBM UK as a trainee systems engineer, then programmed in APL at a small consultancy in London.
She emigrated to New Zealand, worked for Databank Systems and in 1983 bought the house in Island Bay in which she still lives with her husband Alastair. Together they set up an IT consultancy company that saw them work around the world, running courses and contract programming and analysis in financial systems. Celia was an inaugural member of the Internet Society of New Zealand and the founding Chair of 2020Trust, set up to give everyone more digital opportunities.
Celia served on Wellington City Council as a Southern Ward Councillor from 1994 to 1998, then choosing to stand down and travel with her family.
Returning to Wellington, Celia was elected as a councillor from 2001 to 2010, taking on responsibilities in the natural environment, waste and water.
Celia founded Living Streets Aotearoa, a voice for people on foot, and has held a wide range of responsibilities inside and outside Council.
Mayor Wade-Brown is politically independent and emphasises an inclusive approach. Her top priorities are good transport choices, good jobs especially in creative and clean technology industries and support for local communities.
In 2011 Council unanimously agreed a strategic vision - Wellington Towards 2040: Smart Capital - which draws on Wellington's strengths and recognises global trends.
Development of Our Living City, Destination Wellington, UN Resilient Cities and the evolution of events including the International Arts Festival, World of Wearable Arts, Anzac Day AFL, The Hobbit Premiere, Africa Day and Matariki showcase Wellington's creativity and cosmopolitan welcome.

The University of Colorado Law School is one of the professional graduate schools within the University of Colorado System. It is a public law school, with more than 500 students attending and working toward a Juris Doctor or Master of Studies in Law.[5] The Wolf Law Building is located in Boulder, Colorado, and is sited on the south side of the University of Colorado at Boulder campus. The law school houses the William A. Wise Law Library, which is a regional archive for federal government materials and is open to the public. United States Supreme Court Justice Wiley Blount Rutledge graduated from the University of Colorado Law School in 1922.[6]
The University of Colorado Law School consistently ranks as a top law school in U.S. News & World Report rankings (ranked 40th as of 2016).[3] It is renowned for its influence in the 12-state Rocky Mountain region and for the strength of its environmental law program.[7] According to Colorado's official 2015 ABA-required disclosures, 74.2% of the Class of 2015 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[8] For 2015 graduates, the overall employment rate was 96% at 10 months after graduation, including JD-required, JD-advantaged, and other positions.

Established in 1892, the University of Colorado Law School is a charter member in the Association of American Law Schools and appeared in 1923 on American Bar Association's first ever publication of approved law schools. Although always located on the greater Boulder campus, the law school has occupied five buildings since its founding. For the first two years of its existence, the school was housed in the Kent building. From 1894 to 1909 the school occupied the Hale Law Building. For the next 50 years, until 1959, the school occupied the Guggenheim Law Building. From 1959 to 2005, the law school occupied the Fleming Law Building. In the fall of 2006, the law school once again moved and now sits in the Wolf Law Building.
The Wolf Law Building[edit]
By the late 1990s, Colorado Law had outgrown its building. In 1997 law students voted to tax themselves with a $1,000 per year tuition differential to help finance the building, but in 2001 the State of Colorado General Assembly rescinded its earmarked funds from the project.[10] Facing the risk of accreditation loss, law students worked with campus leaders and successfully passed a $400 per year fee on all Boulder students to fund capital construction on the Wolf Law Building and three other campus projects.[11] The Wolf Law Building was dedicated on September 8, 2006, by United States Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer. The dedication ceremony represented the end of a long and creative funding process for a public law school.
In addition to student funds, over $13 million in private gifts were donated to support the construction of the new law building. The Wolf family, in honor of Leon and Dora Wolf, were especially generous in their contribution to the new building that now bears the Wolf family name.
The Wolf Law Building was constructed under the United States Green Building Council's LEED certification rating system for environmental sustainability and received a Gold rating.[12] Colorado Law is the second law school to be housed in a certified LEED building.[13] In 2014, the Wolf Law Building was named the 9th Most Impressive Law School Building in the World by Best Choice Schools.[14]
Admission to the law school is highly competitive. The school received 3,175 applications for the class of 2014 and matriculated 163 students. The 25th and 75th percentile LSAT scores for entering students are 160 and 165, respectively; the median LSAT is 164. The 25th and 75th percentile GPA for entering students are 3.41 and 3.79, with a median of 3.64.[15]
According to Colorado's official 2015 ABA-required disclosures, 74.2% of the Class of 2015 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[8] Colorado's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 8.8%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2015 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation.[16]
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) at Colorado for the 2013-2014 academic year is $51,110 for residents and $58,620 for nonresidents.[17] The Law School Transparency estimated debt-financed cost of attendance for three years is $197,814 for residents and $219,168 for nonresidents.[16]
Controversial 2009 employment statistics[edit]
In October 2009, the journal Law Week Colorado stirred controversy when it reported that only 35% of the school's Class of 2009 had jobs at graduation.[18][19]
Officials from the school assailed the Law Week Colorado article. Former Assistant Dean of the Office of Career Development SuSaNi Harris called Law Week Colorado's report the product of a "miscalculation" and "misunderstanding" and claimed Law Week Colorado "confused 'employed' and 'unemployed.'"[19] Later, Associate Dean Dayna Matthew told Law Week Colorado that the numbers released were "premature" and asserted that the National Association of Legal Professionals (NALP) would release more favorable statistics in February 2010.[19] The reason, Matthew said, was that the NALP discounted graduates who did not report their employment status.[19]
For its part, Law Week Colorado stuck to its original statistics and noted that the University of Colorado had not provided any new statistics.[19]
In 2008, U.S. News & World Report ranked the University of Colorado Law School 32nd in the nation. In 2010, its ranking fell to 38th. In 2011, the school dropped to 47th, leading The Wall Street Journal to call the school "among the biggest fallers among the top 50".[20] The school ranks 40th as of 2016.[3]

Casey Rector hears the question all the time. The parents of girls who are new to the sport of lacrosse and want to join the team at La Costa Canyon High will notice that the players don't wear helmets ---- as their male counterparts are required to ---- and ask: Should we be worried?
Rector's reply is quick and unequivocal: No, you shouldn't.
"I think we're totally fine without helmets," said Rector, the first-year coach of the Mavericks, who will play for the CIF San Diego Section Division I title against Poway on Saturday.
As the national conversation about head injuries in athletics intensifies, the latest sport under the microscope is lacrosse, the fastest-growing youth team sport in America. In the male version of the game, players are outfitted in helmets and pads, while the only protective equipment for females are eye guards and mouth guards. That leaves outsiders to wonder whether girls are being left exposed to a greater risk for concussions.
"Most people are familiar with men's lacrosse," said Ann Carpenetti, the managing director of game administration for US Lacrosse, the sport's national governing body. "It's a different game, but most people don't understand those differences. So they see a helmeted game and they see the girls playing a sport with the same name and they don't understand."
The truth is, North County coaches and players say, girls lacrosse is so different from boys lacrosse that it might as well be another sport entirely. Girls lacrosse is a finesse game in which body-checking and stick-to-head contact ---- whether intentional or not ---- are strictly prohibited. There's even a rule against shooting when a defender is in line with the goal.
US Lacrosse, too, continues to try to make the sport safer. For the current high school season, it instituted policies whereby a player who receives a yellow card (generally given for dangerous use of the stick) must leave the game for two minutes without a replacement, and a team that accumulates four yellow cards must play a "man down" for the rest of the game.
"I handed out only two cards last week in 12 games," said Adeline Connolly, who has been a girls lacrosse official in San Diego County for eight years. "The first yellow card is a pretty good deterrent."
For those who play the game, there's a fear that mandating helmets would alter the sport in a significant way ---- and not for the better.
"We're not whacking each other like the boys are," said Kiki Gibson, a La Costa Canyon junior who has committed to play at Oregon. "It's still aggressive, but to an extent. It would be like putting a helmet on a soccer player. You're still getting knocked, but not necessarily in the head, and we have rules against that.
"There's never really been a scenario where I feel I'm endangering myself by being on the field without a helmet."
Even with all the safeguards in place, head injuries in girls lacrosse do occur, and at a higher rate than some people within the sport are comfortable with. According to a study of injury data from the 2010-11 high school year conducted by Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, concussions were more common in lacrosse than any other girls sport (ahead of basketball and soccer) and a girl playing lacrosse was just as likely to sustain a concussion as her male counterpart.
Coaches and players in the area, however, contend that head injury rates seem lower and the sport seems safer in Southern California than on the East Coast, where lacrosse originated in America. Connolly said she can recall witnessing only two in-game concussions during the eight years she has been officiating in the region. Carlsbad senior Natalie Simpson suffered a concussion this season when her head collided with a teammate's knee, but she didn't miss any games.
"There are always going to be fluke things that happen," Carlsbad coach Brooke Mihoces said. "But that's sports."
The strictness of girls lacrosse rules is compounded by the fact that local officials have been trained to call games by, and sometimes even beyond, the book.
"When I played in college (at Oregon), I had teammates who had had four or five concussions and they had to wear headgear. It was required by our athletic trainer," Rector said. "A lot of it has to do with the officiating. Here in Southern California, the refs are very strict and very cautious. The whistle is blown when anything is in question. I think on the East Coast and in the NCAA, they let a lot more slide.
"Unless it's an accident, you're not going to get a head injury."
For people like Mihoces, who grew up in the lacrosse hotbed of Maryland and was a three-year starter at North Carolina, games that are called too tightly can be as frustrating as those that are too lax.
"It definitely does get annoying, especially refs who call every single thing," Mihoces said. "Some refs don't allow any contact at all."
Girls lacrosse players can't wear helmets, but US Lacrosse does allow the use of soft headgear for athletes who have a history of concussions or are otherwise wary. The problem is, there's no accepted standard for a piece of equipment designed specifically for lacrosse that offers proven protection against head injuries.
The organization is working to remedy that. It's helping to fund a study by a Brown University professor that will examine the forces of impact created by stick-to-head contact, which is believed to be the most common cause of concussions in the sport. And last week, US Lacrosse officials attended a meeting in Phoenix convened by a women's lacrosse headgear task group of the American Society for Testing and Materials, an international standards body. Attendees not only discussed headgear options, but also raised the possibility of other equipment changes to address injuries, such as a lighter ball and a partially padded stick.
"It was a very productive meeting with some unexpected outcomes," Carpenetti said. "Perhaps there's not one single solution that would address the problem most effectively. Perhaps it's about focusing on a series of issues in addition to consistent rules enforcement and funding research and reviewing our rules to make sure penalties are serious enough to change behavior."

Catching bees with honey. Johnson and Weld must be hoping for Cabinet positions as they said pretty much the same thing a month or so ago. Not 4 years ago.
Looks like it's unanimous then. Good thing my vote goes to Hillary since it seems everyone thinks she is the best person for the job.
In your situation I'd try to be standing around the time you expect the deer to show up since it sounds like your upper body will have branch cover but not lose drawing ability.
I usually set up off to the side and a little behind the tree from the direction I expect the deer to come from. That way I get the full benefit of the cover of the tree I'm in.
I stand a lot though; I rarely sit. My ears tell me quite a bit but I'm usually looking around that tree all the time and my body is close to it. I seem to be able to get away with quite a bit of movement and am rarely at 15 feet or higher.

Muddy Creek FFO York Counth 4/25/2014

Posts: 0
Fished above Piney Hill Rd Bridge. Arrived at 3PM fished until heavy rain at 4:30. Caught one brown around 13" on brown elkhair caddis and a few more false rises. Spotted what I think was a large Palomino trout just upstream from the picnic bench area by fallen tree. Tried for him but he wasnt taking.
By the way I found someone's wading staff in the picnic area and left it at the bench.

The staff was still there on the picnic table yesterday afternoon. Creek has plenty of water but it was pretty clear. Slow afternoon for me. Hooked and lost a couple on a small bead head pheasant tail nymph. Lot of short strikes on buggers and white marabou muddler. An olive bead head bugger resulted in a few fish. Saw an occassional caddis and some crane flies but no rising fish. It was about as busy as I've seen the FFO stretch in awhile.

In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?

|Pandora to Acquire Ticketfly to Create World's Most Powerful Music Discovery Platform
The leaders in music streaming and live events technology will come together to transform the music experience
The transaction is valued at approximately
The combination of Pandora and Ticketfly will solve the longstanding problem of event discovery by seamlessly connecting Pandora's nearly 80 million monthly active music fans to events they'll love. This will enable artists and promoters to sell out more shows and will strengthen the bond between artists and their fans. The companies will also harness the power of their combined data to create new tools for music makers to increase their revenue and improve recommendations for fans to enhance their overall music experience.
"This is a game-changer for Pandora – and much more importantly – a
game-changer for music," said
Ticketfly was founded in 2008 by the team that pioneered online ticket sales and has become a major force in the live events industry. This year, Ticketfly was named one of Fast Company's "Most Innovative Companies in Music."
Pandora's acquisition of Ticketfly takes the company beyond its Internet radio roots and builds on its progress to become an indispensable partner to music makers and create the leading data-enabled marketplace for artists and fans.
"Pandora's entry into live events is a watershed moment for the music
industry and will forever change the landscape for artists, promoters
and fans," said
Live events are growing at a rapid pace:
"Live music is booming, and we can grow the number of shows being staged and tickets being sold," added McAndrews. "Attending a live show is powerful, and we want to make it easier for all music fans to enjoy live music. By acquiring Ticketfly, we will bring live events more fully into the fold, enhancing the Pandora experience."
Pandora is the world's most powerful music discovery platform – a place where artists find their fans and listeners find music they love. We are driven by a single purpose: unleashing the infinite power of music by connecting artists and fans, whether through earbuds, car speakers, live on stage or anywhere fans want to experience it. Our team of highly trained musicologists analyze hundreds of attributes for each recording which powers our proprietary Music Genome Project®, delivering billions of hours of personalized music tailored to the tastes of each music listener, full of discovery, making artist/fan connections at unprecedented scale. Founded by musicians, Pandora empowers artists with valuable data and tools to help grow their careers and connect with their fans.

Global Imbalances: Is Germany The New China? A Skeptical View
In this paper, the authors evaluate the current account patterns of China and Germany. They point out that China's current account surplus as a share of global GDP in recent years resembles that of Germany's. Yet, an important difference is that the Euro block's current account inclusive of Germany has overall been balanced, whereas emerging Asia's current account inclusive of China has mostly been characterized by sizable surpluses. They further find that both China and Germany's current account surpluses seem to be accounted for by common factors. However they have reasons to doubt the long run viability of these current account trends in future decades. Demographic transitions in China and Germany are projected to reduce their surpluses, and this effect is stronger for Germany.

The Lost Bottlings Series is a range of extraordinarily rare, hard-to-find single malt whiskies from Scotland, representing a bygone era of whisky production. The whiskies in this series have seen substantial cask-ageing and were all distilled pre-1980. Not only that, they were also bottled many years ago, offering whisky lovers the chance to sample spirits made in a more traditional manner. These come from a time before recent industry trends, with old-school maturations, and as such are a delight for connoisseurs who want to compare the differences in flavour profile between today's popular malts and those of old.

Erie man sentenced for assault, indecent exposure
A 20-year-old man was sentenced to more than four years in state prison on Tuesday for beating a man with an aluminum level and punching a woman while exposing himself to her in separate incidents in Erie in 2012.
Corey L. Hartleb got between a year and four months and four years and six months. Erie County President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr.'s sentence was in the standard range.
Hartleb, who had lived in Erie and Girard, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in the one case and simple assault, indecent exposure and theft in the other case, according to court records. Police said he took the woman's cell phone.

North Carolina Wesleyan recently celebrated its most generous donors at a reception for members of the Wesleyan Society—the annual giving society for donors who give $1,000 or more.
Donors at the $1,000 level or above automatically are members of the Wesleyan Society. As such, they receive invitations to special college events throughout the year, a Wesleyan Society lapel pin, and personal communications from Wesleyan's president to keep them informed. Donors may make their gift unrestricted, so it can help meet important annual needs of the college, or they may designate their gift for a purpose of their choice.
This fall's Wesleyan Society event was held in the Dunn Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday evening, December 12, with a reception from 6:00 to 7:30. Wesleyan President Jim Gray and his wife, Beth Gray, received guests, who enjoyed camaraderie and an opportunity to greet friends and make new acquaintances. More than 120 individuals, corporations, and foundations are members of the Wesleyan Society. Pictured above is a scene from the gathering held in the Carlton Board Room.
The event preceded the performance of the Golden Dragon Acrobats, the premier Chinese acrobatic touring company which the Dunn Center brought back by popular demand as part of the college's 2013-2014 entertainment series. Wesleyan Society members and their guests received free tickets to the performance, a special Wesleyan Christmas tree ornament, and a CD recording of songs performed by the Wesleyan Singers.
To learn more about the Wesleyan Society or to join, contact Eddie Coats, Assistant Vice President of College Advancement, at 252-985-5108.

Erie BayHawks introduce new coach
First it was John Treloar.
Then Jay Larranaga.
Now Gene Cross is coaching the D-League team that has had two coaches leave for jobs in the NBA -- the Erie BayHawks.
"I'm locked in on being the best coach in Erie," Cross said. "While you're locked in on what you're doing here, you focus on making sure if called upon, you can make a seamless transition from here to the next level."
Cross said contract details are still being worked out, but he's been on the job for three weeks. Erie will play its season opener Nov. 23 at Fort Wayne.
"Erie is a hard-nosed, tough, gritty town so the team embodies what Erie means," Cross said. "So I look forward to bringing that type of environment here."
Last season, Cross, 40, worked as an assistant with the Maine Red Claws and Iowa Energy. He was an assistant with the now-defunct Utah Flash in 2010-11.
"We wanted to have a strong representative that had experience in the D-League," BayHawks general manager Allan Houston said.
Houston, who is also the assistant GM of the New York Knicks, confirmed he talked with Patrick Ewing about coaching the BayHawks.
The New York Daily News reported this month that Ewing turned down a job offer. The Knicks are Erie's NBA hybrid affiliate.
"Patrick and I spoke, obviously first as teammates and friends," Houston said. "He was very clear. He shared with me that it wasn't the best time for him to make this move, and he was appreciative that we spoke."
A perennial All-Star with the Knicks, where he and Houston were teammates, Ewing has been an NBA assistant with Washington, Houston and Orlando.
"I was glad that we spoke about it, but he thought about it," Houston continued. "We talked again, but we were all on the same page."
Unlike Ewing, Cross has been a head coach, but went 11-53 in two seasons at Toledo. He resigned after the 2009-10 season in which Toledo had its worst record in school history at 4-28.
"In every experience you have, you live and you learn," Cross said. "I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about being a coach."
Cross' lack of success at Toledo didn't lessen Houston's interest in him. Cross has also been an assistant at Notre Dame, DePaul, Virginia and Illinois-Chicago.
"It wouldn't be an effective evaluation to just base it off two college years," Houston said. "We didn't put a lot of stock into that. We put a lot of stock into who the guy was, how he's learned and grown and who he's coached with and coached for."
Days before Cross resigned at Toledo, athletic director Mike O'Brien received an accusatory letter from a woman detailing Cross' alleged relationships with women, the Toledo Blade reported in March 2010.
In the article, Cross said the woman's allegations were "categorically untrue."
"I believe that's in the past," Houston said. "We all have gone through a lot as people and I think over the last few years, he's proven he's grown. ... That was far from something that was going to keep us from bringing him into our family."
On Wednesday, Cross said he and Houston have discussed what happened in Toledo.
"I didn't break any laws," Cross said. "Didn't break rules. Didn't break anything that was on the books at Toledo. There was nothing that I could have been charged with or dismissed for from a legal standpoint or from a rules standpoint."
Cross said he had a "philosophical difference of opinion" with O'Brien, and leaving Toledo gave him a chance to pursue coaching on the pro level.
"This was a great opportunity to change directions a little bit," Cross said. "I had always had an interest in coaching at the professional level, but never had the real opportunity because you get caught up in the college basketball matrix."
Cross is replacing Larranaga, who left this month to become an assistant with the Boston Celtics. Larranaga posted a 60-40 record for Erie and led it to the D-League playoffs in each of his two seasons.
Erie's first coach, Treloar, is the director of player personnel for the Phoenix Suns.
"We promised when we brought the BayHawks to Erie that we were going to see future NBA talent and I think we've lived up to that," BayHawks majority owner Steve Demetriou said in the news conference.
If things go well for Cross with the BayHawks, he could make it three straight coaches who've left Erie for the NBA.

Morphy versus the Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (May 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The chess game played in 1858 at an opera house in Paris between the American chess master Paul Morphy and two strong amateurs, the German noble Karl II, Duke of Brunswick and the French aristocrat Comte Isouard de Vauvenargues, is among the most famous chess games. Duke Karl and Count Isouard consulted together, playing as partners against Morphy. The game is often used by chess instructors to teach the importance of rapid development of one's pieces, the value of sacrifices in mating combinations, and other chess concepts. The game is sometimes called "The Opera Game" or "A Night at the Opera" (French: Partie de l'opéra).
On several occasions, the Duke invited Morphy to the Italian Opera House in Paris, Salle Le Peletier, where the former kept a private box which was, according to Morphy's associate Frederick Edge, so close to the stage that one "might kiss the prima donna without any trouble", and which always contained a chess set, the Duke being a keen player as well as an opera lover.
Morphy was extremely fond of music and opera and was eager to see Norma, which played on his first visit. Unfortunately, his host had seen Norma countless times, and Morphy found himself forced to play chess, even seated with his back to the stage.
As the game progressed, the two allies conferred loudly enough with each other, debating their moves against the American genius, that it attracted the attention of the opera performers. Madame Penco, who had the role of the Druidic priestess in Norma, kept looking into the Duke's box, to see what all the fuss was about, even as she was performing the opera. Then the performers who were the Druids, marched about, "chanting fire and bloodshed against the Roman host, who, they appeared to think, were in the Duke's box", Edge recounted.
It is doubtful if the distracted opera singers had a good enough view of what was going on. Comically, Morphy created this brilliant game while spending his time trying to overcome his blocked view of the opera, while the performers tried to catch glimpses of what was going on in the Duke's box.
Norma was performed at the Italiens de Paris on 21 October 1858, with Rosina Penco in the title role, L. Graziani as Pollione and Cambardi as Adalgise.[1] Some commentators would rather have the chess game taking place with The Barber of Seville, La Cenerentola, or else The Marriage of Figaro on stage.[2]
The game opened with Philidor's Defense, named after eighteenth-century chess master François-André Danican Philidor -- who was also a noted opera composer.
The game[edit]
|This section uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
White: Paul Morphy Black: Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard Opening: Philidor Defence (ECO C41)
Paris 1858
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6
- This is the Philidor Defence. It is a solid opening, but slightly passive, and it ignores the important d4-square.
3. d4 Bg4
- Though 3...Bg4 is considered an inferior move today, this was accepted theory at the time.[3]Today 3...exd4 or 3...Nf6 are usual. 3...f5 is a more aggressive alternative.
4. dxe5 Bxf3
- If 4...dxe5, then 5.Qxd8+ Kxd8 6.Nxe5 and White wins a pawn and Black has lost the ability to castle. Black, however, did have the option of 4...Nd7 5.exd6 Bxd6, when he's down a pawn but has some compensation in the form of better development.
5. Qxf3
- Steinitz's recommendation 5.gxf3 dxe5 6.Qxd8+ Kxd8 7.f4 is also good, but Morphy prefers to keep the queens on.
5...dxe5 6. Bc4 Nf6
- This seemingly sound developing move runs into a surprising refutation. After White's next move, both f7 and b7 will be under attack. Better would have been to directly protect the f7-pawn with the queen, making White's next move less potent.
7. Qb3 Qe7 (see diagram)
- Black's only good move. White was threatening mate in two moves, for example 7...Nc6 8.Bxf7+ Ke7 9.Qe6#. 7...Qd7 loses the rook to 8.Qxb7 followed by 9.Qxa8 (since 8...Qc6? would lose the queen to 9.Bb5). Notice that Qe7 saves the rook with this combination: 8.Qxb7 Qb4+ forcing a queen exchange.
- Although this move prevents immediate disaster, Black is forced to block the f8-bishop, impeding development and kingside castling.
8. Nc3
- Morphy could have won a pawn by 8.Qxb7 Qb4+ 9.Qxb4 Bxb4+, but in keeping with his style he prefers rapid development over material. Note that 8.Bxf7+?! Qxf7 9.Qxb7 Bc5! gives Black dangerous counterplay for the rook.
8... c6
- The best move, allowing black to defend his pawn without further weakening the light-squares, which have been weakened by black trading off his light-square bishop.
9. Bg5 b5?
- Black attempts to drive away the bishop and gain some time, but this move allows Morphy a strong sacrifice to keep the initiative.
10. Nxb5!
- Morphy chooses not to retreat the bishop, which would allow Black to gain time for development. Black's move 9...b5 loses but it is difficult to find anything better; for example 9...Na6 10.Bxf6 gxf6 11.Bxa6 bxa6 12.Qa4 Qb7 and Black's position is in shambles.
10... cxb5
- Black could have played 10...Qb4+ forcing the exchange of queens (11.Qxb4 Bxb4+ 12.Nc3), although White would retain a clearly won game being a pawn up.
11. Bxb5+
- Not 11.Bd5? Qb4+, unpinning the knight and allowing the rook to evade capture.
11... Nbd7 12. 0-0-0
- The combination of the pins on the knights and the open file for White's rook will lead to Black's defeat.
12... Rd8 (see diagram) 13. Rxd7 Rxd7
- Removing another defender.
14. Rd1
- Compare the activity of the white pieces with the idleness of the black pieces. At this point, Black's rook is not able to be saved, since it is pinned to the king and attacked by the rook, and though the knight defends it, the knight is pinned to the queen.
14... Qe6
- Qe6 is a futile attempt to unpin the knight (allowing it to defend the rook) and offer a queen trade, to take some pressure out of the white attack. Even if Morphy did not play his next crushing move, he could have always traded his bishop for the knight, followed by winning the rook.
15. Bxd7+ Nxd7
- If 15...Qxd7, then 16.Qb8+ Ke7 17.Qxe5+ Kd8 18.Bxf6+ gxf6 19.Qxf6+ Kc8 20.Rxd7 Kxd7 21.Qxh8 and White is clearly winning. Moving the king leads to mate: 15...Ke7 16.Qb4+ Qd6 (16...Kd8 17.Qb8+ Ke7 18.Qe8#) 17.Qxd6+ Kd8 18.Qb8+ Ke7 19.Qe8# or 15...Kd8 16.Qb8+ Ke7 17.Qe8#
16. Qb8+!
- Morphy finishes with a queen sacrifice.

The Mountaineers were nearly a top 10 team at the start of the season. They came in with so many expectations and met none of them – besides maybe the high-scoring offense expectation.
Sure, West Virginia had great offensive players like Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. Sure, the Mountaineers have one of the best offensive schemes in the country behind the mind of head coach Dana Holgorsen.
But WVU scored just 14 points in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl in its 38-14 loss to former Big East Conference rival Syracuse.
Smith will likely be first or second in total passing yards in the NCAA, Austin will finish as a top two all-purpose runner and Bailey will have the most receiving touchdowns this year. But, none of that matters when WVU finishes with six losses.
The West Virginia defense will likely go down as the worst in school history. Find me one that was worse. Coordinator Joe DeForest – or should I say former coordinator – took WVU from a decent defensive unit to one of the worst in the nation.
The Mountaineers won't end up being the worst passing defense in the country likely – mainly because Syracuse rushed the ball so well on Saturday – but No. 119 in the nation isn't something to applaud either.
There's no doubt in my mind former defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel would never have allowed this defense to be as porous as it ended up being.
By the time the fourth quarter started, West Virginia was out of this game – against Syracuse. Yes, that Syracuse.
The Mountaineers were blown out in three more games than it should've been this year – Texas Tech, Kansas State and Syracuse.
West Virginia never should've been as bad as it was. It was a disappointment much of the final three months of the season.
To think this was a top 5 team is amazing based on what we saw Saturday.
This is merely a poorly coached team that didn't meet any of its goals.
Saturday's game was a perfect example of that. The Mountaineers were penalized on basically every big play it had – and they were fairly obviously good calls, too, for the most part. Again, Holgorsen was happy to waste timeouts to argue with the referees than save them when needed most at the end of the game if it ended up being close.
It wasn't close, though, so it really didn't matter.
This went from a season that everyone hoped would be one to remember. It was the Mountaineers' first year in the newly renovated Big 12 Conference, and they had all the makings of an offensive juggernaut.
It never happened.
When you set yourself up with big expectations and fail, it's hard to be easy on a team. This is just the reality of sports, and big-time athletics at the collegiate level.
So, the 2012 season will likely go down as one every WVU fan would love to forget. But, will it be one that causes the Mountaineers' program to fall from the ranks of the nation's best?
I worry. I really do.
It's up to Holgorsen to prevent that from happening. And based on his coaching job this year, I just don't know if he's up to the task.

Help coming for uninsured in Tunica Co.
Uninsured and underinsured Tunica County residents will soon be able to save money on prescription drugs and customary dental services, thanks to the county's membership in a national government association.
As part of its membership in the National Association of County Officials (NACO), Tunica County is able to enroll in the discount programs which, thanks to the size of NACO's membership, will mean savings for eligible residents.
"It's two programs we're enrolling in – one is a discount prescription drug program and the other one is a discount dental program," said Tunica County Supervisor Phillis Williams. "It's for all the residents who don't have insurance. It's not something for those who already have insurance coverage."
According to Williams, there is no cost for the county to participate in either program, which is made available to all counties holding an active membership in NACO.

All remaining western sanctions against Burma should be lifted in the light of the country's ongoing political reforms, Russian Foreign Minister Sergie Lavrov said during a visit to Burma on Wednesday, US news agency UPI reports. "There is no justification for any kind of sanctions under the current conditions," he was quoted as saying. Lavrov met his Burmese counterpart Wunna Maung Lwin in Naypyidaw and they agreed to set up a panel to assess future economic coordination between their countries. Last year, the sanctions on western investments in Burma were lifted following recent reforms but a number of restrictions on doing business in the country remain in place.
All sanctions shall be lifted only when all the bullying against the minority ethnics by the military hardliners are ceased. Until then, some sanctions, such as on jade, must be maintained.

You may be tempted to update your ride, but is leasing right for you? In today's Angie's List report, the pros and cons of leasing a car.
"When deciding whether to lease or buy a car you need to think about your lifestyle," said Angie's List Owner, Angie Hicks. "Remember that when you are leasing you're going to get a new car every few years but you're also going to have a car payment even though your car payment is less than if you were buying the car. Additionally, remember that if you are leasing there is usually limitations on mileage so if your office is a long distance from your home you want to be careful you have enough miles on the lease. "
"In a nutshell, the benefit of leasing is typically lower monthly payment, a trade cycle, you know the very day your lease is up," said Car Dealership General Manager, Jeff Roush. "Generally a little bit less investment in terms of upfront money that you have to put into the vehicle, and your trade cycle is such that you're hardly out of warranty on the vehicle."
"In our leasing agreement all the maintenance is included," said consumer, Citrana Harmon Forgenie. "And one of the good things about it is that when we take the car in for servicing we get a car available to us for that day and we also get free roadside assistance."
"When leasing a car it's just like buying a car," said Hicks. "You should be prepared and understand how much the car is really worth and go in ready to negotiate. Don't just think about the monthly payment. Also think about the residual value of the car, the price you would pay if you buy the car out of the lease because you might fall in love with the car and want to keep it."
"Leasing is really back in a big way," said Roush. "We run anywhere right now from 40-50 percent lease of all our new vehicles."
