Green Wave looks to make late push in league standings as regular season winds down
New Orleans - The Tulane Green Wave opens a two-game road swing against UCF this Wednesday at the new UCF Arena in Orlando, Fla. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. (CST).
TU (15-11, 5-7 C-USA) plays its final two road games of the regular season and will look to get back into the win column after dropping its last two contests away from home at Marshall (68-54) and UTEP (66-64). Prior to its two losses, the Green Wave put together three straight road victories during the first half of Conference USA play. The Green Wave is 4-5 overall on the road this season, but sports a 3-3 mark away from home in C-USA play.
For the year, Tulane is averaging 67.2 points and 34.6 rebounds per game and is shooting 44.9 percent from the field, 32.4 percent from behind the three-point line and 70.9 percent from the free-throw line.
David Gomez and Kevin Sims lead the Green Wave is scoring with 14.5 and 12.3 points per game, respectively. Gomez is also the team's top rebounder with 5.9 boards per game, respectively, while Sims leads the squad in assists and steals with 4.0 and 1.4 per contest, respectively.
UCF (14-12, 7-5 C-USA) halted a three-game skid with a victory over Marshall on Feb. 6 and has won two out of its last three games before suffering a 71-66 loss to the Thundering Herd during a rematch in its last outing.
The Golden Knights, last season's runner-up team in league play, enters the Tulane game in a three-way tie for sixth place in the league standings with UTEP and Southern Miss. UCF boasts an overall home record of 10-4 in its first season in UCF Arena and has a mark of 4-2 in conference games on its home floor.
The Golden Knights are averaging 74.5 points and 35.3 rebounds per game and are shooting 45.8 percent from the field, including 36.7 percent from behind the three-point line, and 70.5 percent from the foul line.
Jermaine Taylor leads the charge for the Knights with 21.3 points per game, while Dave Noel and Mike O'Donnell are second and third with 12.8 and 11.8 points per outing, respectively. Tony Davis is UCF's top rebounder with 6.2 boards per contest.
Wednesday's game marks the fifth all-time meeting between Tulane and UCF, and the series is tied at 2-2. Tulane will be looking for its first victory in Orlando after dropping its only previous appearance in 2005-06, 72-51. Since UCF became a C-USA member in 2005-06, the series is tied 1-1.
Next Up:
Tulane plays its final road game of the regular season this Saturday, March 1 at Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Ala., against UAB at 7 p.m. TU also played the 2007 season finale at UAB and its last second victory over the Blazers gave the Green Wave a first round bye in the Conference USA Tournament with a fourth-place finish.

Jhameel – Collision
I originally started writing this post with a solid paragraph about the events that unraveled at my alma mater (PennState) last week. I thought I would spare the read, knowing that Ian has already summarized my thoughts ever so clearly in his post, and also knowing that if you wanted to hear about it even more you would simply turn your television to CNN. I must say, however, the victims (the young boys who are now young men (those are the only victims in this entire scandal)) are in my thoughts.
It's difficult to then find a solid transition to music so this is my failed attempt to do just that.
You may recall I introduced the fun dancy stylings of Jhameel with his track The Human Condition a few months ago. Well, he's back! He has a new series entitled WAVES which entails 5 weeks of Tuesdays where he will release a new track which will also be available to stream or download entirely free. You read right, free! His track, Collision, was featured last week. You can check him out every Tuesday on his Facebook and Soundcloud pages.
Until next Monday, catchya later tricks!

Results tagged ' Roger Bernadina '
'The Shark' faces Nats in Philly
PHILADELPHIA — Former Nationals outfielder Roger Bernadina was in the starting lineup for the Phillies on Monday, hitting eighth and playing right field.
The Nationals released Bernadina on Aug. 19 to make room for outfielder David DeJesus. At the time of his release, Bernadina was hitting .178 with two home runs and six RBIs. His hitting wasn't the only thing that disappointed the Nationals. He was also known to make baserunning mistakes.
"I like him. He just didn't get much playing time early because we had a set lineup," manager Davey Johnson said. "But he should have been used to that. Early on, it looked like he was guessing for pitches because he wasn't aggressive.
"Again, all things come back to you having to stay aggressive in the box. First pitch may be the best pitch you get. They threw a lot of changeups and offspeed stuff. I think he missed a lot of fastballs, because he started getting into that guessing game."

Asked if was he surprised that the Nationals released him, Bernadina said: "You never want to get released, of course. I will say I was a little bit shocked. I wasn't performing well. … It's a business. I understand that part. I wish it had been a better ending, but I understand it's part of business.
"I think they wanted me for a long time. I wouldn't be in that organization for that long. In the end, it didn't work out like I wanted it to."
Bernadina was a popular figure with the D.C. fans and his teammates. He was lovingly known as "The Shark" because of the handful of great catches he made in the outfield.
"I love my teammates. I love the fans in D.C. I'm looking forward to going over there to see my teammates again," Bernadina said.
Bernadina has been with the Phillies for the last two weeks and his hitting didn't get any better, but he has made some nice plays in the outfield.
"Ever since I came here, they really want me. It's a new opportunity to play somewhere, play more," Bernadina said. "They have given me the chance to play. I think the teammates are great, coaches, everything is great."
Which Nats players could go after 2013?
After the 2013 season comes to an end, the Nationals are likely to make changes to improve the club for next season. Here are the current Nationals who may not be with the club next year.
OF Roger Bernadina: As one person put it, "[Bernadina] has been a disappointment this year." He not only has problems swinging the bat, but Bernadina has made some fundamental mistakes on the bases. As one evaluator put it, "[general manager Mike] Rizzo has never been a fan of Bernadina's."
Bernadina is arbration eligible after this season and there is a good chance he will be non-tendered.
2B Danny Espinosa: Shoulder and wrist injuries are the reasons Espinosa is having his worst year in 2013. If he comes back to the big leagues for Washington, he most likely will be a reserve. He could be an everyday player elsewhere. He must cut down on the strikeouts to become an everyday player again.
RHP Dan Haren: Despite pitching well in the last month or so, Haren doesn't think he will be back with the Nationals next year because of the season he has had, overall. He is 7-11 with a 4.99 ERA in 21 starts. The Nationals signed him to a one-year, $13 million deal to be one of their five starters this year.
1B Adam LaRoche: Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is arguably having his worst year defensively, with a team-leading 17 errors. But that number doesn't tell the whole story. He is still having throwing issues because of the surgery he had on his right shoulder. In fact in early June, Zimmerman said he expects the shoulder to be in rehab mode for the rest of the season, but it will not keep him out of the lineup. It would not be surprising if the Nationals decided to move Zimmerman from third to first base as early as September. That could mean trading LaRoche to make room for Zimmerman at the position.
OF Denard Span: The Nationals thought he would be their ideal leadoff man after they acquired him from the Twins for pitching prospect Alex Meyer. Entering Tuesday's action against the Giants, Span is hitting .263 with a .312 on-base percentage. Even worst, he has a .167 batting average against left-handers. It's not known if Span will get another chance next season.
Brian Goodwin is not ready to take over center fielder. The Nationals could try to acquire a center fielder this offseason. For example, Shin-Soo Choo is a free agent after the season. He currently has a .409 on-base percentage with the Reds.
C Kurt Suzuki: Most of the playing time behind the plate has gone to Wilson Ramos, so it is doubtful Suzuki will have his option vested for 2014. The Nationals have a plethora of quality catchers in the farm system, so it looks like Suzuki will take his services elsewhere after next season.
INF Chad Tracy: The leader of the Goon Squad, Tracy is not having a productive season like he did last year. Entering Tuesday's action against the Giants, Tracy is 18-for-102 [.176] with three home runs six RBIs. He is not the only one who is not producing of the bench. The bench is one of the reasons the Nationals have been inconsistent this season.
Reports: Nats acquire Scott Hairston
By Tom Schad | Associate Reporter
The Nationals have sought a power-hitting, right-handed bat for their bench, and they got one late Sunday night.
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Nationals have acquired Cubs outfielder Scott Hairston in exchange for a minor-league pitcher. Hairston, 33, is hitting just .172 with eight home runs this season. He hit a pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning of the Chicago's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Pirates on Sunday.
Hairston is a 10-year Major League veteran who has spent time with the Diamondbacks, Padres, Mets, Athletics and Cubs. The 6-foot, 205-pound outfielder signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Cubs in January.
Hairston has a bit of power (averages 20 home runs per 162 games) and he feels particularly comfortable against left-handed pitchers (.268 career average). He is 15-for-47 (.319) in 17 career games at Nationals Park.
The move will be announced Monday morning, according to Rosenthal. Hairston will likely replace outfielder Roger Bernadina or outfielder/first baseman Tyler Moore on the Nationals' bench.
'Shark' returns to Nats camp
Nationals outfielder Roger Bernadina returned to camp Wednesday, two days after the Netherlands lost to the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.
Bernadina did not travel with the Nationals to Jupiter, Fla., to play the Cardinals, but he was able to get four at-bats at Washington's Minor League complex. He will be ready to play with the Major League team on Thursday, when it faces the Braves.
Bernadina said he was proud the Netherlands went to the final four and stayed humble during their run. In six games, Bernadina was 3-for-22 [.136] with three RBIs. He said his best moment at the Classic was beating Cuba in the semifinals.
"It was a lot of fun. Great group of guys," Bernadina said. "They all wanted to go to the next level. As a team, we did great. It was a short tournament, but I felt it was the right moment and the right time for us. I loved it. Everybody was great to each other."
Bernadina will start the regular season as a fourth outfielder and is ready to help the Nationals win another division title.
"I'm excited to get back in camp. The feeling that I had last week [with the Netherlands], I want to have the same thing for this season [with the Nationals]," Bernadina said. "I'm all for winning a championship. … I'm getting myself ready for the season. I feel like it's unfinished business. Whatever they have me doing, I'm ready for it."
Nats Inbox: Beat reporter Bill Ladson answers Nationals fans' questions
Are you finally on the Roger Bernadina bandwagon? He is having his best year offensively and we all saw his awesome catch against the Astros. Do you see him settling in as the Nats' fourth outfielder during the foreseeable future or do you think he'll be swimming in different waters next season?
— Tyler and Terry, Washington DC
I've always been on the Bernadina bandwagon. I'm simply not fond of the nickname, "The Shark," because he doesn't put up Albert Pujols numbers. I prefer the name, "Speed Racer," because of the way he runs the bases.
There is no question that Bernadina is having a great year. I love the way he outplayed Rick Ankiel, who was released last month. Bernadina is having great at-bats — it helps that he shortened his swing — and playing great defense. He could be a fourth outfielder for years to come. I don't see him playing every day for the Nationals. He could be trade bait during the offseason.
The Nats bullpen has been great this year. But they have been used a lot. Manager Davey Johnson seems reluctant to have his starters pitch the last three innings of a game — even if the pitch count is low. If this is going to be a postseason team, won't they need a fresh bullpen? Is this just part of Davey's managing personality?
— Chris, Marlborough, CT
I spoke to Johnson recently and he doesn't want to over use his pitchers before the postseason begins. During the month of September, I expect the Nationals to call up extra relievers such as Christian Garcia, so I expect the Nationals' bullpen to be rested by the postseason.
When Ian Desmond returns, I would assume that Jayson Werth will lead off and Ian Desmond will hit sixth. Is this what you think also?
— Jamie, New Brunswick, Canada
It's hard to say. If both players can stay healthy, I could see both players leading off from time to time. I can also see Danny Espinosa leading off once in a while. During the offseason, it would not surprise me if the Nationals were looking for a leadoff hitter.
With the development of Bryce Harper, I do not see the urgency to acquire a center fielder for next season. They are overloaded in the outfield already. Do you agree?
— Rich R., Washington DC.
I disagree. They have almost nothing but corner outfielders. I think Harper is a better as a right or left fielder. While Bernadina is having a great year defensively in center field, the Nationals consider him a corner outfielder. They center fielder could come from the Minor League system [Eury Perez] or free agency [Michael Bourn].
With Adam LaRoche having a mutual option for next season, do you think he will decline his option due to such a great season? I was thinking that if LaRoche picks up the option as well as the Nats, the team could decide to deal either LaRoche or Michael Morse, get good value in return and then go after a center fielder in a trade.
— Alex H., London, England
It's too early to answer the question about LaRoche and the mutual option. I think both sides will deal with the option after the season. I don't think Morse will be traded because he has one more year left on his contract and could be put at first base for next year.
There is possibility they could wait for Perez and Brian Goodwin, but I'm expecting the Nationals to trade for a center fielder or sign one during the free agency period.
Although John Lannan has struggled this season at Triple A Syracuse, with his success with the Major League team, do you see a long-term future with him in the rotation again?
— Ben S. Concord. N.C.
The answer is no. It would not surprise me if he was non-tendered after the season. Provided that everybody is healthy or re-signed for next year, I see the rotation like this: Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann, Edwin Jackson and Ross Detwiler.
— Bill Ladson
The Shark's latest catch
If you haven't seen Roger Bernadina's leaping catch that preserved the Nationals' 3-2, 12-inning win over the Astros last night…
What was everyone at Minute Maid Park saying immediately after the Shark's big grab?
"He hit that ball good, and I went and tried to get it, and at that moment I felt like jumping, and it turned out well."
"I didn't hit [the wall] that hard. I was OK. I was fine, but in that moment, you don't think about it. You just go for it. I'm good now."
Ian Desmond, stepping into Bernadina's interview:
"He's the Shark! He always thinks he's got a shot."
Craig Stammen, who had the best view in the house:
"I was like, I think that's short, so I was just screaming at him, 'I don't care if you go in the wall, you've got room! You've got room!' And then he caught it, and I was like, 'OK, is he dead or alive?' He was alive!"
"It was crazy. I was trying to hide in that corner so I didn't have to watch but I ended up getting the best view of it."
Manager Davey Johnson:
"It was sensational. I thought the ball at first was going to go out. I need to watch it on replay. I saw him disappear from my angle. He disappeared and came out holding the glove high. I said, 'Man, this is great. Let's get out of here.' Exciting ballgame."
Danny Espinosa:
"That was an unbelievable catch. It saved the game. If he doesn't catch it, we lose. To go the distance that he did and leap, that's a tricky little corner right there against a flat wall. That was an unbelievable catch."
Ross Detwiler:
"Off the bat, I couldn't really gauge how far it was going to go. I couldn't tell if he hit it too high or if he squared it up. I saw him go over there, and when he got to the spot, I knew he had it."
Astros manager Brad Mills:
"He went flying into the screen. It seemed like the ball was hooking. If it could have been a foot to the left where it would have gone off the signage there, that would have been absolutely outstanding, too. That would have been great. [Carlos] Corporan could have scored on that."
Brett Wallace:
"I thought I put that ball in the gap. I thought that ball might split them, but he made a great play. He's a good center fielder. That's what they do."
-Adam Berry
The Shark swinging hot bat
Outfielder Roger Bernadina has been on a hot streak, going 17-for-46 [.370] in his last 12 games to raise his batting average to .281. He also has hit three homers in his last four games.
With Rick Ankiel on the disabled list because of a rib cage injury, Bernadina will get a chance to play every day. Bernadina will hit second against right-handers and ninth against left-handers.
"I'm in a groove right now," Bernadina said. "I just want to keep it up. So far it is going good. I want to do my best, get better every day and go from there."
Bernadina, Desmond dealing with injuries
Nationals outfielder Roger Bernadina and shortstop Ian Desmond are dealing with leg issues and most likely will not play against the Padres on Sunday.
Bernadina was scheduled to hit ninth in manager Jim Riggleman's revamped lineup Saturday, but was a late scratch of because of left hamstring tightness.
Bernadina has had problems with the hamstring for several days, but managed not to miss a game until Saturday.
Bernadina said his leg didn't feel right once he started shagging fly balls before Saturday's game. He then went into the trainer's room to get some treatment.
As for Desmond, he has been dealing with issues with his left quadriceps for several weeks. On Saturday, it was pretty clear that something was wrong. He was struggling to run from first to home on a Danny Espinosa double in the first inning.
After the game, Riggleman said that he planned to give Desmond the day off Sunday and put him back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.
Bernadina has impressive game vs. Marlins
Nationals outfielder Roger Bernadina showed how much he wants to be an everyday player.
During Washington's 8-4 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday, Bernadina started in center field and went 2-for-4, including a three-run homer off right-hander Josh Johnson in the second inning. However, his most impressive hit came two innings later, when he bunted the ball past pitcher Mike Dunn for a base it.
The Nationals want Bernadina to bunt more often. After all, he has the speed to do it on a regular basis.
"That is something I want to work on during Spring Training. Today, it worked out well. I just want to keep working on it to get better," Bernadina said.
Last year, Bernadina played nearly a full season in the big leagues and hit .247 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs for Washington.
Twitter Poll: Who should be in right field?
On Friday, I asked a question to my Twitter followers: Are you happy with the right-field platoon of Willie Harris and Willy Taveras? Why?
Of the 40 people who responded, 35 made it clear that they were not happy with the right-field platoon, while five were OK with the situation.
Here's what some of the Twitter followers had to say:
@CraigsOnABoat: It's time to let our young guns sink or swim. Roger Bernadina is ready and has a much better makeup for right field than Harris/Tavares.
@NotRizzo: Absolutely not happy about Taveras. Mike Morse is a much better option vs. left-handed pitching.
@NFA_Brian: I would rather see Bernadina get a chance to sink/swim.
@emmi1966: I'd prefer to see one guy have the job.
@tylerradecki: I think the team should stick with Bernadina and give him a chance instead of Taveras. See what Roger can do with a platoon.
@LeperMessiah: No. Neither is experienced in right field and Taveras is not a Major League bat.
@SacksJacked: There are better options, but I'm limited with 140 characters.
@federalbaseball: Taveras/Harris? Hmm, so about that long-rumored trade for an outfielder?
@NatsEnquirer: It reeks strongly of the old Nook Logan/Ryan Langerhans no-hit CF platoon of 2007. Blah.
@kfisher32: I think Bernadina is the way to go at this point. Possibly more upside than the Willie or Willy.
@Neuman85: No one seems to like Taveras, but he seems like a fit for the 2-hole.
@Khillock: Would Maxwell fit in RF? If so, I'd rather see him than the TaHarris platoon.
@soullmeetsbody: They will be a hitting nightmare. Look at their OPS stats.

Full Disclosure: I'm actually on vacation and I've been on a crazy "Dexter"/"Homeland" marathon lately as to atone for my constant ignoring of Showtime dramas, so my brain is all over the place right. Thusly, my review of this week's "Sons of Anarchy" might be a little abbreviated, which is nice and convenient, since I don't have a lot to say.
While some plot lines do move forward in "Stolen Huffy" (Tara v. Gemma vs. Wendy/Nero and Jax's business arrangement), Opie's ghost looms large over the episode, and that's fine with me. This could have been a trap episode that served as an elongated moment of silence to Ryan Hurst's character, but most of the characters handle it as you would naturally expect them to, and that's a solid moment for the continuity of the season.
Jax is reasonably furious and in no mood for Gemma's nonsense, but he still handles the situation with Nero and the erstwhile escort as SAMCRO President, despite all his grief. Gemma, on the other hand, loses it when she finds out about Opie's demise.
Everyone else displays their requisite pain (Chibs) or desire for vengeance (Happy) as you'd expect. All told, it helps with the pacing of the season to let our main men reel from Opie's death in a manner that makes sense.
But Chris Collins (this week's screenplay scribe) and company also use Opie's death and funeral as a backdrop to show just how much the Opie's passing has transformed certain characters. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I feel like Tig said maybe three words through the entire episode, and it was only to support Jax's decision to pay the vig to Pope. Trager's life has been completely re-defined by Opie's death. He knows he owes a debt, and he's willing to pay it to Jax Teller.
Jax also again heeds Pope's advice of "using pain to take you to the next level" when he brokers the deal with Nero just as Opie's body is being setup for a viewing. In the midst of his best friend's final goodbye, Jax is in another room finding a way to offset the financial losses of their new deal with Pope and limit his mother's influence in his business dealings.
The subplots involving Wendy and Nero's mother hen were also effective, and shaded in some more character depth for the war of the ladies we've got brewing. I hate to admit it, but Wendy still looks like the most stable mother figure for Abel this season. I know it's going to be difficult for the viewer to move past what she did in Season 1, but through four episodes, I haven't seen her throw a punch or take a drug. Gemma's spiraling out of control and now linked to two criminal organizations, while Tara's kneecapping women with auto tools. Just saying, if Abel was my kid, Wendy seems to be the least dangerous option. That plot line will only grow stronger if she keeps appearing as a safe harbor compared to the other women in Jax's life, they just need to avoid any soap opera moves like letting Jax cheat on Tara with Wendy.
Speaking of Gemma and Tara, the ex-Queen has once again shown she can control her heir apparent when she needs to. It doesn't take more than a few words for Gemma to get Tara embroiled in fisticuffs, the kind that could screw up Jax's new relationship with Nero.
Not much else to say here. The episode did its job. It wasn't spectacular but it didn't need to be, it was just a nice moment of reflection and a serviceable into the new landscape after Opie's death.
Random Musings:
- So … did Clara call the cops on Nero's love pad? Emma Jean swears it wasn't her, and while Clay's not off the hook entirely, I believe Clara's our new lead suspect.
- That's two straight episodes with no Roosevelt. I really wish the writers would find more for him to do. He was excellent in "Terriers."
- Having Jax lay the Polaroid of him and Opie as kids on bicycles, after the episode cold opened with Jax waving to the two little kids on bikes who probably think SAMCRO is the coolest thing in the world, was a nice touch.
- Off-Topic, but not really since I mentioned Showtime in the opening. To the promo department there, please pray I never discover your home addresses. You put your entire series OnDemand in the hopes that I will try and catch up to your current Season premiere, yes? Then why, WHY, when I click on the Season 4 Premiere of "Dexter," do you start the episode with a commercial that reveals the Season 6 Finale! (Insert string of expletives here). You all suck at your jobs, with a capital suck. You got me so angry I wrote in caps lock, do you understand that? Usually my family would have to be held hostage for me to write in caps lock! I'm going to go put my head through a wall right now, just so I don't fly out to California and start dispensing Jax Teller style ass whippings.
And that ends that rant. Questions. Thoughts. Haiku? Showtime Promo Department Hate Mail?

Federal Way City Council members sworn in; public ceremony Jan. 7 | Slideshow
The city of Federal Way invites the public to its Jan. 7 meeting, to be part of the swearing in of Mayor Jim Ferrell and council members Jeanne Burbidge, Kelly Maloney and Martin Moore.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. and will be held in Council Chambers at City Hall (33325 Eighth Ave. S.). The city clerk officially swore in the trio on Monday before their terms officially start on Jan. 1, 2014. But the city is having this small ceremony to "provide the public an opportunity to participate," according to the city.
Ferrell was elected to a four-year term that runs until Dec. 31, 2017. The Council will appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of his term for his vacant position, which runs until Dec. 31, 2015.

Garrison Keillor is speaking openly for the first time about a subject that has been the subject of speculation for months: His retirement as host of "A Prairie Home Companion."
Keillor told the AARP Bulletin that he'll step down as host of the show, which he created in 1974, sometime in the spring of 2013.
"But first I have to find my replacement," he told AARP.
Keillor confirmed the news in an e-mail to the Associated Press, saying that he'll be 70 in the spring of 2013 "and that seems like a nice round number."
"PHC" is broadcast on 590 public radio stations and heard by more than 4 million people each week, according to Minnesota Public Radio.
Keillor has a strong following in New Orleans, where he has performed live on numerous occasions and can be heard Saturdays from 5 to 7 p.m. on WWNO FM-89.9.

Nalcor takes down protest sign, admits it was bad decision
© Photo By Derek Montague/The Labradorian
James (Jim) Learning (left) and his brother John Learning (right) pose with the Muskrat Falls protest sign they helped make. This sign spent more than month in a cleared lot across from the work site until it was removed by Nalcor. It was returned a short time later, with Nalcor admitting the decision to remove the sign was "not appropriate."
On Thursday, Jim Learning heard a rumour a sign he erected in October to protest the Muskrat Falls project had been taken down.
The 4x8 sign — made by Jim, his brother John, and a few other NunatuKavut members— was placed in a clearing across from the entrance to the work site.
The clearing was specifically a place for people to hold protests following a court injunction last year that prevented demonstrators from being within 50 metres of the site.
"We felt that that space over there needed to be utilized in some form (of) protest. It was a protest site, so I felt there should be a protest sign there," said Learning.
"The courts designated that for us and there's a sign at the back of the lot saying exactly that — nobody can touch this site, this is our site."
Jim drove to the clearing Thursday night, no tbelieving the sign — with the message "STOP, MUSKRAT FALLS PROJECT, DEATH OF 8 RIVERS, TRAMPLED RIGHTS, MAKE WORK PROJECT, CORPORATE WELFARE" — had actually been removed.
When he arrived at the clearing, he saw the stand in the ground, but no sign on top of the four wooden stakes.
"I was delighted," says Learning. "I thought (to myself), that sign had effect."
"So I came back and I called the vice-president (of NunatuKavut Community Council)...and said we need to lay charges, because somebody stole our sign."
At the time, it wasn't clear who might've been responsible for removing the sign. But in an emailed statement to The Labradorian, Gilbert Bennett, vice-president, Nalcor Energy Lower Churchill Project, admitted the energy company chose to take it down, but then quickly realized it had made a mistake.
"Nalcor had some concerns expressed about the sign and the company made a decision to remove it; however, upon further consideration we realized that decision was not appropriate and we have placed the sign back. We do respect the rights of those who have objections to the project to share those objections in this manner," states the email.
When asked if Nalcor could provide specifics about the concerns they had about the sign, the email response stated, "No, just that there were concerns expressed originally but the sign has since been put back."
Jim and John Learning went back to the clearing Friday night after hearing the sign was back up. They weren't happy that it wasn't in its original spot.
When the sign was erected in October, it stood near the entrance of the clearing, in clear view for anyone driving past on the Trans Labrador Highway.
Now, the sign was at the back of the cleared lot, and lower to the ground than before.
Jim and John vowed to go back the next day with tools to put the sign back on its original stand.
Todd Russell, president of the NunatuKavut Community Council, is livid with Nalcor for removing the sign.
"I could not believe that...the company would stoop to such lows," said Russell. "I would have thought that the company would have better things to do, like properly manage a project than to spend their time around a 4x8 sign."
Like Learning, Russell says he didn't believe the story could be true, when he first heard someone removed the sign.
"It was so incredible...I didn't think this was actually serious. And I can not actually believe now that they went through with it, and actually took the time to order their people to take down this sign."
"Who the hell is...Nalcor to censor individuals, members of NCC, or whoever? They do not own this land, and far from it."
Bennett's admission that the decision to remove the sign was "not appropriate" does not satisfy Russell. The NCC president said the incident will only add fuel to the fire.
"They should apologize. They should apologize to our people and do what's right.
"That sign had every right to be there. Just because someone doesn't like what's on it or the message it sends, that's no reason for them to think that they have some power to go out there and justtear down people's property."
Russell said he is considering making an official complaint about the removal of the sign.
"Yes, maybe the RCMP should be looking at charges against the company or an individual."

By DAVID A. VALLETTE
GREENFIELD - A preliminary election will be conducted on April 22 with only one thing on the ballot - reduction of the field of candidates for one seat on the School Committee.
Assistant Town Clerk Deborah J. Tuttle said today that although there will be little to decide, the election will be conducted as if it were the main event, which is the annual election on June 10.
It will cost the city up to $10,000 for each of the elections, she said.
All voting will be conducted in the gymnasium of Greenfield High School from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. A free bus service will be provided, primarily for senior citizens, with stops at senior housing centers and Town Hall.
The preliminary election will remove one of three candidates for the seat, so that, as required by the city charter, there will be a maximum of two candidates per seat on the ballot at the annual election.
The candidates are Maryelen C. Calderwood, 45, of 82 Sanderson St., Matthew J. Sheridan, 30, of 48 Newell Pond Road, and Oscar R. Arce, 52, of 91 Hope St.
Little campaigning has been conducted by the three candidates so far, and no candidate forums have been announced.
The initial election schedule had called for three seats on the committee to be filled by the election, but a charter change that took effect in December reduced the size of the committee from nine to seven. That left one position to be filled.
There are no incumbents in the race.
One seat was held by David A. Lanoie, who resigned in December; another was held by Marc A. Odato, who resigned earlier this month, and the third is held by David L. Westbrook, who is not seeking re-election.
At the annual election in June, along with the School Committee seat, voters will decide contests for five seats on the 13-member Town Council. Mayor Christine Forgey is not up for re-election this year.

Former Journal columnist Jill Urbach's debut novel, a romantic comedy entilted "Two-Room Flat", has been published by Astraea Press. A finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest, Two-Room Flat traces the travails and successes of a widowed author who flees to London to restart her career.
Urbach, perhaps best known as a gifted singer (One More Time Band) and actress (playing the part of Maria in the Community Theatre's recent production of "The Sound of Music") said her stint as a columnist had a direct influence on bringing her story to the page.
"My main character, Claire, writes a blog that is interspersed among the chapters," she said. "I had such fun writing my humor column for the Journal that I used the same tone for Claire's blog. My publisher loved the concept."
Available as an eBook from astraeapress.com and amazon.com, Two-Room Flat is expected to be published in traditional paperback form in the coming months. For more information about the novel and Urbach's future books, visit, www.jillurbach.com, or follow her on Facebook or Twitter.

The Green Bay Packers were blessed with the first true superstar wide receiver to bring his talents to the NFL and have also had many outstanding wideouts since the pioneer of pass catching Don Hutson had his number retired by the team.
Throughout the course of the team's history, the Pack have often been known as a passing team. This is likely a result of great quarterbacks like Brett Favre and now Aaron Rodgers making their mark on the franchise. However, they couldn't have had such amazing success if there weren't talented receivers to make plays for them.
It is interesting that quarterbacks are rewarded with the yards their wide receivers gain after they make the catch when all they have to do is stand and watch the remainder of the play.
Since these players who often make their QBs look good don't always get the credit they deserve, here is a tribute to the top ten Packers' pass catchers of all time.

Syracuse, NY -- U.S. Army Sgt. Brandon Hinman's new orders from Fort Drum are to be with his wife and twin daughters.
After spending nearly seven weeks on leave from the Army to be by his wife's bedside as she battles a rare, life-threatening cancer, Hinman was called back to Fort Drum on Tuesday. Hinman said it was very hard to be away from his family, but he'll be allowed to stay with them for now.
"I had to report back for one day to get all my paperwork squared away," he said. "The Army and my leadership have really helped me out and they are looking out for me."
Hinman said he can now get back to focusing on his family.
"I'm where I need to be," he said.
Jenna Hinman gave birth to Kinleigh Ann Hinman and Azlynn Mary Hinman by emergency C-section March 3 only to have doctors immediately discover she was battling stage 3 choriocarcinoma. The twins, who were delivered premature, remained in the neonatal intensive care unit for six weeks.
The 7-week-old girls were discharged from the hospital last week and are staying at Jenna Hinman's parents' home. Jenna Hinman's childhood bedroom has been turned into a nursery for the girls.
Brandon Hinman will now splits his time between Port Byron to see his daughters and Syracuse to see his wife. Having to report to Fort Drum too meant Brandon Hinman would be missing a lot of time with his family.
"I need to be with my family right now," he said.
Brandon Hinman said he's grateful the Army and his leaders at Fort Drum agree. Hinman said he is particularly grateful for Lt. Col. Donald Morgan and Sgt. Maj. Stephen Pickerin.
"These two have been there for me since day one," Hinman said. "They have been awesome."
Hinman said Pickerin has visited the family in the hospital every weekend for the past five weeks.
Jenna Hinman remains on life support as she receives chemotherapy. Her cancer count continues to decrease, according to the Prayers for Jenna Facebook page.
For more information on the family, visit the Prayers for Jenna Facebook page. The page now has more than 241,000 likes and features thousands of messages of support from people from around the world.

Fire district gives volunteers stipends
"Looking to expand its services and programs without adding more full-time employees to its staff, South Whidbey's Fire District 3 will begin to pay stipends to some volunteers by the end of this year.At their July 13 meeting, the district's three commissioners gave Chief Don Smith the nod for a program that will pay several volunteers wages commensurate with their duties. Smith recommended that the district create four stipended positions that would be filled by volunteers. Those positions are high school volunteer program director, EMS director, special services coordinator, and a floating duty chief position. At present, the district has volunteers who attend to many of the duties of these positions, but Smith said he wants create the stipended positions to make certain the jobs are done consistently and that the people who do them are compensated. As an example, Smith said tending to the needs of the district's growing high school volunteer program has become more than he can handle on his own. He said he is not always available when one of the program's volunteers needs a question answered. In addition, members of the program are asking for more training days than are scheduled for regular volunteers. Someone needs to plan those training days, he said. By having a designated go-to person for the program, Smith said the district can better serve its youngest volunteers.Creating a duty chief position will increase the district's hours of on-duty fire protection. Currently, only Smith, Assistant Chief Paul Bush, and Captain Mike Cotton can act as duty chiefs. Paying volunteers to be on duty during evening hours could stretch staff duty coverage toward 24 hours a day.Smith said he has not yet established a pay scale for the stipended positions, but he did say that using stipends over hiring full-time employees represents a major cost savings. Commissioner Mike Helland agreed.I'm totally supportive of this. You have my blessing, he said.Establishing the stipends did not require a vote from the commissioners. Smith said he will roll the cost of the stipend program into the district's existing budget."

ST. JOHNSBURY (AP) - A judge has granted a request to move the trials of a couple accused of killing a Vermont teacher in 2012 to another county.
Superior Court Judge Robert Bent didn't identify in which county the trials of Patricia and Allen Prue would take place. According to reports, he said the location would be announced after pre-trial proceedings in St. Johnsbury.
Patricia and Allen Prue are charged with murder in the killing of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins of St. Johnsbury. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Bent said the extensive and thorough news coverage of the case, Jenkins' positive reputation in the community, the outpouring of support for Jenkins and her son and the small-town nature of St. Johnsbury threatened the Prues' constitutional right to fair trials in Caledonia County.

Syracuse, NY - A man in his 20s was killed in a shooting shortly before 7 p.m. tonight on Syracuse's near west side, Syracuse police said.
The victim, who was not identified by police, was found in a front yard in the 300 block of Putnam Street, police said.
Witnesses said they heard at least six shots and saw the man bleeding from the head on the grass.
Sgt. Gary Bulinski said a fight broke out about a block and a half away on Putnam Street that spilled into the yard where the man was found. He would not say how many times the man was shot or how many people were involved in the fight.
Syracuse police closed Putnam Street between Geddes and Bradley as they searched for evidence.
Police were investigating whether a nearby shooting in the 500 block of Seymour Street was related to the homicide. In that 8 p.m. shooting, a man was treated at Upstate University Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg, Bulinski said. The injury wasnt considered life-threatening.
Anyone with information on either shooting may call police at 442-5222.

Local veterinarians receive top ranking from Seattle Met
POULSBO — Three local veterinarians have been ranked as top Emergency and Critical Care veterinarians by Seattle Met magazine.
Dr. Dave Burgess, Dr. Michael Stone, and Dr. Shelby Watson practice at Animal Emergency and Trauma Center in Poulsbo.
Seattle Met magazine, in partnership with the national survey company Top Vets, sent ballots to veterinarians listed with the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association and other local societies in King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Thurston and Whatcom counties. The survey asked the veterinarians, "If a client's pet was in need of veterinary care and you could not take the case, who would you refer them to?"
The results will be published in the February issue of Seattle Met, along with a roundup of reasons why it's great to be a pet in Western Washington.
Animal Emergency and Trauma Center (www.myaetc.com) is located at 320 Nw Lindvig Way, Poulsbo. Burgess has been practicing companion animal emergency medicine since 1989, Stone since 1999, and Watson since 2002.

No Dante Cunningham tonight (groin).
So it'll be Jerryd Bayless vs. Ty Lawson.
Speaking of Cunningham, Casey Holdahl sums up his Summer League thus far:
The book on Cunningham, who spent the last four years playing at Villanova, is that of a gritty, hustle player who gets boards and garbage buckets, but he's shown a much more polished offensive game through two games in Las Vegas, hitting jumpers with unexpected consistency from the power forward position while still crashing the boards.
"I end up creating space with the defender on me," said Cunningham. "My ability to be able to shoot and raise up over taller defenders and also my quickness around taller defenders gives me an advantage.
"A lot of times it's just facing them up, giving them a jab step. I'm not that much larger than other players, but a lot of times they notice I'm a lot faster than them are so they're kind of leery of me being able to go around them, so they do tend to back up on the jab step and I'm able to raise up and shoot."
Whether it's respect for his quickness or just poor defense, Cunningham has found himself open early and often in Las Vegas.
More Cunningham from Ben's great three-part scouting report with Chad Buchanan over at Blazer's Edge:
Blazersedge: Do you think he's the kind of guy you might use in pick and rolls more or is he going to be a weakside shooter that teams leave and he hits the open shot?
I think he's going to be a pick and pop guy. He's a good screen setter. He understands angles on setting screens for his ballhandler. He knows how to get away from the play to give them open room for a shot. That's his bread and butter. 17 to 18 foot jumpers. That's what ball screens are going to get for a guy like that.
We tell our point guards to trust him as a shooter. I think you'll see him doing a lot of pick and pop.
[He's different than] Travis, who is a guy that's good off the ball. I'm not sure he's that kind of guy.
He needs to go hit somebody before he get his shot. That's just his nature. He has a really good feel for the game. Understands where to get his shots. Has a couple of sweet spots on the floor, the elbow area and the baseline is where he really feels comfortable shooting the ball.
Blazersedge: Did he get the short end of the stick in Summer League because he's playing 5 instead of playing the 4?
I think he's going to have to play 5 on our level. I think there's some 4s that are going to be really hard matchups for him. Guys who can take him away from the basket will be a hard matchup for him. His lateral quickness guarding the ball is not a strength of his right now. You couldn't see that last night because he could just lean on Joey Dorsey, he does a good job getting low with a strong base. You take him away from the basket and the quick moves are hard for him.
He's a guy that will have to play a lot of five for us. There are going to be some fives that are too big for him to guard. All the backups and third string 5s in our league -- he will be fine against those guys. He's not capable of guarding Dwight Howard or Yao Ming or someone like that.
He's going to be a really good guy off our bench. He has a great attitude, he's constantly showing positive energy and that's a value for us. Teams in our league, good teams in our league have benches in our league that are into the game. I thought at times last year we didn't have that. We need that. Especially on the road, you need to see your bench over there when you're on the floor. I think Jeff has an amazing personality, he'll be ready to play when he gets the opportunity.
Blazersedge: If there's improvement I've seen, he seems to hit the open shooter off the dribble better than he did last year but he still struggles a little bit finding a guy on the run.
Yeah. I think one thing he needs to improve on -- he can go get into the lane whenever he wants, it's finding that balance of getting in the lane, it's not always about seeing the rim, it's about kicking it to Martell or kicking it to Blake or Rudy or whoeover for an open shot. Seeing everything around you rather than just seeing what's right in front of you. Guys that can get into the lane in our league -- that's a big time skill and Jerryd's got it.
It's getting better. That's a hard thing for a guy to change. It's like a habit. Changing a habit is something that's got to be done over and over and over. I think we're seeing progress a little bit at a time with that. I can say this: nobody wants it more than he does. I know we as our staff, Nate and the coaches, fans want it now. I guarantee you nobody wants it more now than Jerryd Bayless.
NBA.com takes a look at the Blazers (and this offseason) and next season's potential pecking order in the NW Division.
John Schumann on the offseason that was (or wasn't):
Portland and San Antonio had identical records last season, but there's no doubt the Spurs have made their team better. And they did it by getting a guy the Blazers could have had in February. Jefferson is the kind of player the Blazers need, and Pritchard's inaction not only kept his own team from improving, but it helped a competitor.
The summer is far from over and there are still free agents that can help the Blazers. David Lee, like Millsap, would give Portland frontline depth. But Lee is also a restricted free agent and the Knicks would likely match a deal similar to the one Portland gave Millsap.
Pritchard's reluctance to include one of his young players squashed a deal that would have brought point guard Kirk Hinrich to Portland. Like Hinrich, Andre Miller would be a point guard upgrade, but reportedly the Blazers aren't interested.
On the frontline, Glen Davis and Lamar Odom are possibilities. Odom's negotiations with the Lakers are at a standstill, so the Blazers could swoop in, offer Odom the contract he seeks (reportedly $50 million over five years) and take the champs down a notch. Odom is versatile on the court and a adding championship-winner to a young roster that needs to learn how to win in the postseason would be a good thing.
Best of all, Odom's unrestricted.
Of course, strike three might not be far away for Portland.
Fran Blinebury on the division race:
Several weeks into the summer, everyone is still waiting for the Blazers to make their move in free agency or the trade market. But even the status quo and just another year's maturity might be enough to push Portland to the top. Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden all have plenty of room to grow along with the Blazers' postseason prospects.
Early projection for 2009-10 season -- Even with no help from the draft, even with an offseason that has been so uncharacteristically quiet from GM Kevin Pritchard, what's not to like about the Blazers? They're young, athletic and still deep even after giving up Sergio Rodriguez via trade and Channing Frye to free agency. Brandon Roy is a little bit antsy as he awaits a new contract, but you know that will get done eventually and he'll be back making all of the late game-winning plays that have become almost second nature. After 54 wins last season, there's every reason to think the Blazers are just getting started in a new era. But no significant roster moves to date is puzzling if not downright disappointing.

Spanish Town Saves Bulls
Mataelpino's Solution to Ending Bullfighting Cruelty
by Animals Australia
—Our thanks to Animals Australia for permission to republish this story, which appeared on their site on September 2, 2014.
Town officials in Mataelpino, Spain, have figured out how to keep tradition AND animals alive.
Many people are still unaware that the animals who are forced to participate in the annual "Running of the Bulls" festival are literally running for their lives—and are in fact being corralled towards a bull ring where they will face a slow and painful death in a "bullfight." This bloody spectacle would make most of us recoil in horror—and it's never again to be held in the town of Mataelpino, Spain, after town officials came up with a way to spare the bulls, while keeping the "tradition" going.
Here's what it looks like:
Thanks to campaigning by anti-bullfighting advocates and with the support of locals, the "Running of the Balls" festival (that's what we're calling it, anyway!) sees giant polystyrene balls weighing up to 125kg "chasing" adrenalin-fuelled participants down Mataelpino's streets into a now defunct bull ring. Not a terrified bull in sight! continue reading…

According to a rumor, Wii U game developers have been optimizing their games and getting more out of the hardware over the past few months. New software updates from Nintendo to the Wii U SKD, engine improvements, etc. have reportedly helped developers to increase the frame rate of their games. All while the visual quality of the games has improved as well. According to the source, developers now have a better grasp on the system and are able to get more out of it.
It's common knowledge that takes a while for developers to get the most out of any video game system. Compare the visuals of games at the beginning of the current console generation in 2006, and compare them now — the difference is huge. Nintendo previously said that it will take a while for developers to tap into the full potential of the Wii U hardware, but it seems to be already happening. We've heard from developers that the Wii U is "definitely more powerful" than current gen systems, and Nintendo themselves have said that the Wii U won't be too far behind the next gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Most Wii U launch games should be in the finishing stages by now, with only a few months until the console launches.

Since Gov. Andrew Cuomo was attorney general, he has harped on one thing he repeated in his State of the State speech Wednesday: "We have too many local governments, and we've had them for too long. ... We have a proliferation of government that is exceedingly expensive."
It's true, and the carrots that have been dangled to make consolidation more attractive haven't worked. It's time for some sticks, one of which is part of the property tax freeze Gov. Cuomo has endorsed.
For two years, the state would compensate local governments to freeze people's property taxes, on two conditions: In year 1, the locality's budget must meet the tax cap; in year 2, the locality must take concrete steps toward consolidating or sharing services with other local government bodies.
This is good, but it's not so simple.
The governor bragged that he's done things to help local governments reduce costs and to make consolidation easier. It hasn't been enough. Part of the deal behind the tax cap was that reduction of unfunded mandates would follow, but that promise wasn't kept. Much of your property tax burden was dumped on your county and school district by the state. Also, consolidation is still far from easy. A town still isn't allowed to have a fire department, so if a village is dissolved, its fire department either goes away or becomes a fire district - a new layer of government. And after plenty of study, there's still no good way to unknot Saranac Lake's mess of two counties, three towns and a village: Dissolution, annexation, making the village a city - all hit dead ends. The laws on this stuff must change.
Also, consolidation doesn't always mean lower taxes. It even makes taxes go up for some people: for instance, those who live outside a village being dissolved, or sometimes those in one of two school districts set to merge. Plus, in some rural areas like the Adirondacks, the communities are so far apart that consolidation stretches common sense.
One must also respect home rule. In some places, voters see mergers as worthwhile, as in the soon-to-be-dissolved village of Keeseville. Those in other villages, like Malone, rejected dissolution. In the 1980s, voters in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid said no to merging their school districts. These people aren't dumb; they're just doing what makes sense to them. What seems logical from 30,000 feet up doesn't always work so well at ground level.
This is an incredibly thorny structural problem for New York, and we give Gov. Cuomo credit for tackling it. We agree with him that, cumulatively, there's efficiency and savings to be gained. To successfully streamline the state's archaic municipal map, however, will take a much more comprehensive effort than he has committed to it so far.

@Nimzo - I said to post links in case no one wanted to answer, I guess I wasn't sure if it was a stupid question. When I googled it I got lists of ECO code openings - and still wondered why it stopped at 500. I do alot of research over the net, and have no problems with SE's, try googling: Why does ECO Codes stop at 500 - maybe not for you, but I get absolutely nothing with useful information.
@Shepi- No, Alekhine is the most greatest, awesomest ever!
Alekhine may be the greatest, awesomest ever!, but I believe the question was who is the Bestest Greatestest Most Awesomest ever!?
THe ECO classification is a little cumbersome. Maybe it's time to design something a little more streamlined.
I think F's might be added if some currently unorthodox openings develop enough theory?
Rooperi take another look at what the 'A' codes cover.
What do you propose? A system based upon pawn structure after 6 moves? Numeric hash value based upon the position? Maybe something like soundex but for chess positions, where similarity to other known values determines the number along with a degree of deviation? Anyone have an idea? Nobody likes ECO, but no one has proposed a better system.
Nobody likes ECO, ...
I do.
It is clear and logical.
Also, it is comprehensive.
The only classification I can think of with any ambiguity at all is the Catalan (E00 - E09), which is essentially a "D" opening which arises normally out of the 1 ...Nf6 & 2 ...e6 move order. But wherever it was placed would be a bit out of place.
I think it would be better to classify openings based on their inherent pawn structure. I think it would make it easier to learn new openings.
Chess is a search for truth, not a quest for helping beginners. The ECO system, as designed, facilitates the search for truth.

Snoqualmie police investigate stabbing, sexual assault in North Bend
Snoqualmie/North Bend police and a Major Crimes Task Force detective are looking into a stabbing and sexual assault that happened late Sunday in North Bend.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday, March 9, police responded to a 911 call from a business on the 400 block of Mount Si Boulevard in North Bend.
Officers found a woman, an employee at the business, who had been stabbed one time in the chest, duct taped at her feet and wrists, and sexually assaulted.
She was the last employee in the business and was exiting from the back door when an unknown Hispanic male forced her back into the premises.
She was transported to Overlake Hospital and is in stable condition.
A detective with the Major Crimes Task Force, a law enforcement city partnership of which Snoqualmie is a member, is assigned to the investigation.
Anyone having tips or information about this crime should report it to the police by calling 425-888-3333. Callers will remain anonymous to protect their identity.
