I see your West Quad and raise you (lower you?) Mary Markley. Circa 1990-1991, that was a disaster. I survived off the salad bar ... but just barely.
The food may very well have been the same, but the calorie count required for walking to class on Central Campus from essentially the Medical Center made it worse.
When I saw friends back home that first Christmas, I was so emaciated they thought I had contracted a disease.

Make Lloyd (who absolutely DID lobby for the job, in response to a prior post) keep sending letters, making calls, etc DAILY to Justin King to run through the tape on his recruitment, rather than letting Pedo State back in to flip his silent.
King was the only CB to shut down Ted Ginn in '06. Ginn tore us up in The Game. Put King in opposite Leon Hall and we have fixed the biggest weak link in the otherwise outstanding '06 D. We win a NC pretty clearly over UF with King, IMO.

|Fair enough. What I was
Fair enough. What I was trying to point out in my post is that with a little bit of spine to stand up to the *perceived* push within CrossFit, you can protect yourself from those risks while still getting the benefit.
I go plenty slow on my repetitive Oly lifts, because I care infinitely more about getting stronger while not getting hurt than I do my standing on the whiteboard (daily scoreboard).

|As a 44 year old CrossFitter
As a 44 year old CrossFitter of the last 4.5 years, I'd add this to that part of the discussion:
I'm not a great athlete. Never have been, never wil be. But I am a pretty self-confident person, and most would say I'm pretty logical in how I going about decisioning things in my life.
I've seen all kinds of nonsense in CrossFit gyms over the years. I travel a bit for work, and try to drop in at various boxes (gyms) while on the road. So I've seen firsthand the WIDE variance in capabilities of the coaches (and even the owners). Level 1 Cert over a single weekend ($1k fee) is all you need to be good to go as a coach in the industry, and a $3K fee makes you an "affiliate" (gym owner). Pretty low barrier to entry, and therefore you get a somewhat random set of outcomes on both programming and coaching.
Then you have the location-specifc culture. In my experience, nearly every CrossFit has a very (VERY) strong culture/community. What varies is the vibe: some are loaded up with douchey jocks (and/or coaches) who think pushing others into places they either aren't ready for or (in my case) should never, ever go constitutes "good coaching" or "good teamwork." But I'd also say that (in my experience) very few CrossFits are this way. Those that are tend to jump off the page as such. And thank goodness they are so obvious, because these are the ones that are more prone to get people (especially 'advanced beginners') injured.
So I go back to my self-assessed strengths of self-confidence and logic. In the context of my athleticism, and at this stage of life, I see no value in doing the movements that require me to go upside down (as one example). Handstand pushups? Toes to Bar? Nope. In 4.5 years I have not attempted a single one. At a douchey CrossFit, that might qualify as being a complete puss. And I give zero fucks about that. ZERO. I'm not ever, ever going to risk spinal or brain injury (and they do happen!) for the sake of working out. Not going pro in CrossFit, have gone pro as Husband & Dad. Simple set of motivations there.
I'm thankful that I have had awesome coaches. Awesome. Everyone loves their CF coaches, but some of them do suck. So what to do? Ask around town about who the most technically proficient coaches are. Go meet them, tell them what your goals are, tell them how you want to be coached. Stand there for an hour, watch them coach, and watch the community. If they're dicks (or promoting dickish behavior), move on.
You're the paying customer. Don't let the "community" cause you to lose sight of that. Do what makes sense for your body. Figure out a reasonable band for what constitutes your personal limits and hold to that. Sure, it ought to "hurt," and injuries can happen. But if you keep your eyes open and your wits about you, you can very simply avoid the supposed systemic injury risks that people want to point to with CrossFit. It isn't harder than that.
I'll say this: as a 44 year old banker (I'm either behind a desk or on an airplane most days), I am way, wayyy fitter than I was at 24. Faster. Stronger. More endurance. More coordination. More skill. More ability to do functional things around my house, for my family, etc. The projection for the likely arc of the back half of my life looks radically better than it did at 39. CrossFit is the primary reason for all of that.
If you find a good box (where the coaches keep on you about technique past the intro class, and also where you feel confident saying 'no' to something outside of your range), enjoy the "no pain, no gain" approach, and commit to the lifestyle change, CrossFit is a great option for a large number of people.

Roy tends to get high 4*s, not 5*s (at least not the tip-top 5*s). So they are more likely to come back than the Calipari Specials.
I read not long ago that the last top five overall guy UNC got was Harrison Barnes, and that was like 7 years ago.
Granted, their recruiting has been more than fine ... but they don't get as many of the one-and-done super elites as people might think.

|Stribling did fine in
Stribling did fine in coverage in our OOC games in the last year-plus, IIRC, so I don't buy the "shit B1G QBs" argument.
I think the other posts in the thread are right: his speed was marginal enough to offset the perceived value of his height, and then the combination of bad tape against the run and that abysmal bench press stat really cut his feet out from under him in the draft.
It's a shame, because I think the kid can just play. Hopefully he can earn a year or two on the Browns' practice squad (or another team's) and make the most of his chance to address those issues.

Here's where it COULD impact Jabrill:
If the Browns get true #1 overall performance out of Garrett and then Brantley's issues clear up and he delivers on his first round talent, that is suddenly a monster DL playing in front of Jabrill. Could well pave the way to him being a big part of an elite D.
At least, that's what I'm guessing the OP had in mind.

|Hopefully not too big of a
Hopefully not too big of a house. While I'm all for the "take care of momma" mindset for pro athletes, in many situations momma can add to the financial risk profile.
My wife's aunt in Atlanta is living in a pretty nice house that a former NFLer bought for his momma. Then momma went out and borrowed against it for spending money ... and subsequently lost it to the bank.
Crazy as it may seem, a few million bucks may seem like lifelong financial security, but it's far from it. Now if she stayed in her own neighborhood on a few million, no problem. But moving on up to that de-luxe apartment in the sky comes with a high burn rate on the old nest egg.

Western? Meh. That was hardly an intimidating venue back then.
I went over to watch M play a game there probably around 92. Sat in the front row of the student section with a friend who was attending WMU, and of course I did the Goal Count chant as we blazed right through them on their ice. (There was a healthy smattering of M fans spread around the rink doing the chant, but few in the WMU student section.)
By the third period I had the entire WMU student section singling me out for the "A-hole!! A-hole!!" chant. It was a beautiful glimpse of how painful Michigan's domination of our opponents was at the time ... just as Red's machine was kicking into full gear.
The girl, who had a great sense of humor, was amazed that Michigan hockey could get all of her schoolmates that riled up.
But it wasn't exactly a wild scene. Or intimidating.

|As a conservative,
As a conservative, "religious" northerner transplanted to the South a decade ago, I've had many conversations on the Rebel Flag. It's funny, because when I bring up my opposition to it and the reasons therefore, I am often dismessed as being a 'liberal Yankee' (which makes me laugh) and someone who "doesn't understand Southern culture."
I generally respond with something along these lines: "Here's what I do understand.-- that flag symbolizes for a great many people one of the worst atrocities in the last few hundred years of civilization, perpetrated on their forefathers, and trickling down to some degree (we can all debate how much, but not "if") to this very day on them. I see very, very few African Americans supporting, wearing, waving, using the Rebel Flag, and most are very deeply offended by it. If you could take a moment to imagine walking in those shoes rather than your own, there really isn't anything 'complicated' about the issue at all."
It usually ends the conversation. Some have gotten mad at me over that. Some have called back later to say they thought about it and finally see the point. Those have been very gratifying moments.

The Browns swapped receivers with Dallas, trading Quincy Morgan for Antonio Bryant at the trading deadline.
Morgan underachieved in Cleveland. This year, he had only nine catches. Bryant had only 16 catches (in one fewer game), but the Browns believe he has more upside. In Dallas, Bryant was stuck behind Terry Glenn and Keyshawn Johnson and clearly in Bill Parcells' doghouse after throwing a sweaty practice jersey at the coach during minicamp.
At 23, Bryant is still maturing on and off the field. He is under contract through 2005. Morgan would have become a free agent after this season.
The Browns promoted Frisman Jackson from the practice squad to provide depth at receiver and also signed offensive lineman Javiar Collins. Collins spent three years as a backup for Dallas.
To make room, the Browns waived running back/kick returner Dee Brown and offensive lineman Bo Lacy.
It's not known who'll return kicks for Cleveland with Brown gone. Andre King is the most likely candidate, though the Browns may be reluctant to use
him in that capacity because he's likely to start at receiver this week.
Running back James Jackson is another possibility, though he has seldom if
ever returned kickoffs.
- LB Barry Gardner did not practice this week and won't play this week
because of a groin injury.
- RG Kelvin Garmon did some limited things in individual drills but did
not practice with the team. He sustained a quadriceps strain and a
concussion against the Bengals. He said he expects to play Sunday.
- WR Andre Davis has a sprained big left toe. He was in a cast Wednesday,
but also expressed optimism he might be ready Sunday.
- G Paul Zukauskas was inactive last week in part because of a sprained
knee, but he should be able to play Sunday.
- CB Daylon McCutcheon had to leave the game Sunday briefly because he
took a blow to his broken middle finger, but he returned and is certain to
play Sunday.
- QB Jeff Garcia faced the Eagles in each of the last three seasons while
with San Francisco. He completed 58 of 104 passes for 645 yards with five
touchdowns and no interceptions.
- PK Phil Dawson is 13 for 13 this season on field-goal attempts, extending his streak of consecutive kicks to 23. That's the longest current streak in the NFL and is Dawson's personal best. Dawson is the most accurate kicker in Browns history, making 97 of 116 career attempts (83.6 percent).
BY THE NUMBERS: 390. Number of yards Donovan McNabb threw for in Philadelphia's victory over Cleveland in 2000.
GAME PLAN: This would be a tough game under any circumstances for the Browns. The trade of Morgan makes it even more difficult. That's not because Morgan is a great player - he isn't - but because his departure leaves the Browns very thin at receiver with Andre Davis' availability in question. If Cleveland is to pull the upset, William Green and/or Lee Suggs will have to have a big game. Defensively, the Browns must find a way to put pressure on McNabb, which won't be easy. Then, of course, the Browns must contain Terrell Owens.
- Browns CB Anthony Henry, who has three interceptions this season, vs.
Eagles WR Terrell Owens. Henry has played well this year for the most
part. Henry had primary responsibility on Owens last year when the Browns
played San Francisco. Though Owens had eight catches for 90 yards, Henry
kept him from taking over the game. Henry has the size and strength to match
up with Owens and has a knack for making plays on the ball.
- Browns OL, which has given up 14 sacks, vs. Eagles DL, which has 20 sacks. The pass protection has slowly gotten better, but they haven't faced many pass rushes as tough as the Eagles. Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson is a master at confounding blocking schemes, and the Browns don't have the most athletic group of linemen around. Right tackle Ryan Tucker is the best of the Browns' linemen. He'll face a stern test from Jevon Kearse, who's far quicker than Tucker.
- WR Andre Davis might be able to play despite a sprained toe, but his
speed - his best asset - will be affected, and he'll have a hard time making
sharp cuts.
- RG Kelvin Garmon's strained quadriceps will limit his mobility, and the lack of quickness is his biggest liability even when healthy.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "The four deuces were here. It was, `Four deuces and a guy'. I was `a guy'. (Now) the guy gets a shot." -- WR Andre King, when asked about his rise from being a seventh-round draft pick to starter status after being stuck behind four second-round draft picks for most of his career.

There Is Something About Watching the Big Cats and Monkeys
"MacKenzie! Telephone. Line 3." So bellowed the desk sergeant.
"Lieutenant MacKenzie. How can I help you?"
The other end of the line was a voice quite familiar, but I didn't need to try too long figuring out its owner. "Lieutenant, Bill O'Hara here."
"Yes, Mr. O'Hara."
"One of my workers found some of your stuff down at one of the construction sites. Small world, my knowing you and one of my men finding your stuff."
"Yea, small world, isn't O'Hara," I said, resolving last night's assault without even trying. "Any chance my getting my stuff back."
"Of course. That's why I called. How about some coffee?"
"My treat, Mr. O'Hara. How about Shirley's Diner?"
I could hear O'Hara checking it out with someone on his end, but then he finally said, "That'd be fine. Ten o'clock. That give you enough time?"
"That'll be plenty, Mr. O'Hara."
We exchanged cordials as would be expected. I found most big money hoodlums tend to get polite when they know they have the upper hand.
I finished up a report about the crime scene and the first few leads. Didn't include everything but did include what I had learned about who Miss Yellow Roses was hooked up to without much explanation, knowing that I'd be out of there before Galloway could start asking follow up questions. I asked the Desk Sergeant, "O'Toole, give this to Captain Galloway." And I was out the door. There would be questions down the road to answer, but I had learned some good stalling techniques through the years and they served me well.
My half-reliable Ford got me down to Shirley's but on the way the stupid radio went on the fritz. I hadn't noticed that someone had snatched off my antennae at some point between last night and this morning. Add to it, the radio knob broke off when I try to give the poor thing a little piece of my mind. When I got out of my car I then stepped in some dog's morning ritual resulting in a recitation of my most well-practiced cuss words, upsetting a couple of nuns who happened to be walking by. "Boy, it just keeps getting better and better."
I had time for a cigarette before walking in to wait for O'Hara's arrival. I thought it best to try to pull my soul together a little bit before I really messed up with that goon.
I got the Lucy Strike down to the last few puffs, when up walks O'Hara. "Lieutenant, I hope I'm not late." He knew he wasn't. He was a good I've minutes early.
Though I was always a counter man, but Mary understood that when I was talking business that I would take a booth and she would keep her talk to the barest minimum. As we sat, Blue-Eyed Mary offered one word, "Coffee?" We both nodded and somehow Mary knew that she'd deliver the coffee and nothing more, not even a bill. I'd make good on it later.
Without much foreplay and without much warm-up chit chat, O'Hara pulled from his big pockets of his over-sized jacket, some folded envelopes that looked might familiar. "Yep, one of the fellas found these in a trash pile down by the docks. And he has enough sense to bring them to the office."
I took them without saying much.
But then O'Hara added, "I suppose you'd like to know what I might know. I suppose that's only fair."
That would be as close to a confession as I was going to get.
"Yes, Mr. O'Hara, I've got a splitting headache that says that might make us square."
Sorry about that headache, Lieutenant. Would you like me to get you some aspirin?" He grinned and that grin told me that he was ready to work with me to get the killer of his Molly.
"Lieutenant. You have probably figured out that Molly been seeing this over-priced shyster, Brown. God, his old man was a class act, but that apple rolled along way from the tree. But Molly has always been headstrong. I told her that she was only asking for heartbreak, but she always liked doing what I didn't like her doing."
"Yea, I hear kids are like that."
"Well, you're probably thinking, MacKenzie that weasel had something to do with it. Well, if did he didn't do it with his own hands."
I had to ask, "How's that."
"Because Mr. Benjamin Brown was with me all weekend over at my place on the Cape. I took him fishing to see if I might persuade him to leave Molly alone. And I had him persuaded, persuaded good, Five thousand dollars persuaded and promise of good health for a long time to come. He was still with me when we got the call Monday morning."
"Where's Mr. Brown now?" Oh, I sent him to work on some legal work for me in Chicago."
"I'll need to talk to him."
"Oh, I know. But I'm thinking he's not going to say much. In fact, I'm pretty sure he won't. But if you ask me the questions, I am guessing I can get you the answers."
All through this I kept thinking, "This guy has biggest set of brass I think I've ever come across."
But out loud I instead asked, "Any ideas where I need to start?"
"Well, Mr. MacKenzie, excuse me, Lieutenant, I think you might want to take cab ride this morning."
"Excuse me."
"A cab ride, Lieutenant. It just might let you in on some of the local sites of interest.' He motioned for a bill but Mary waved it off. Still he pulled out a five dollar bill and stuffed it beneath the ash tray. And with that O'Hara departed, the bear of man barely fitting through the narrow aisle. Out the window, I could see a Checker Cab pull up, Cab 46. He flipped up his Off Duty sign and waited.
I took a moment to update my plans with Mary for our Friday date and to give Shirley a razz or two. Mary poured me a coffee to go and I gave her some coins to keep my old Ford secure in his parking place.
"Mr. Flanagan."
"Lieutenant." The old cabbie tipped his cap. As he reached over and opened the back door of his cab, "I bet you would like to have me take you to the zoo."
"Alright. I like the zoo." Granted I was not expecting that would be our first stop on this murder mystery tour. But I was just along for the ride and this old cabbie was somehow going to be my guide. But I like the zoo. I often go there and spend afternoon watching the big cats and monkeys. People are more like the monkeys, but I myself, I'd like to be a tiger. No one messes with tigers and thus they have no need to mess with others.
No matter how hard I try to keep it tidy, my world keeps getting messy.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010POSTED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010
Our company, Royal Solutions, LLC, is a registered business in the state of IL. We are approved and have no complaints with the BBB or FTC. We are a computer IT services company outside of St. Louis. We also represent the Microsoft brand as a partner of the software. We have been in business for over 10 years.
In the past 6 months, as the owner of my company, I have received daily calls from banks and credit card companies (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase) asking us if we are Royal Solutions Group or Credit. They ask if we will refund charges for the credit card. The bank usually has the consumer on the line as well. Lately the company performing this fraud has started using our toll free number 866-394-0334.
What I tell the caller and bank is that the company that took their money was prosecuted by the FTC and give them that case number if they want it. I also tell them that they only way to catch the Royal Solutions Credit or Group is to get their bank to trace the charges back to the back that received their money ASAP. Here is some other information as well. This fraudulent company goes by either Royal Solutions Group, Royal Solutions Credit, Imperial Consumer Services, World Benefits, Royal Credit Services, Source One, Royal Credit Resolutions, Credit Education Group, Dynamic Credit Services, Pinnacle Telepayment, Shippers IMS, Vision Group, First Choice, (CCR) Client Care Relations.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I moved to US in 1998 when I was 21 years old and was a "VISA overstayer" until I was 32., I'm now 37. I'm finally eligible to apply for citizenship after 5 years of being granted permanent residency. How does this "Selective Service" thing apply to me? Question 46 on the N400 form says: Are you a male who lived int the US at any time between your 18th and 26th birthday? Should I say Yes or No? If yes is the right answer, what should I do about the registration with the selective service since I had no idea I needed to register?
It is asking whether you were a permanent resident in the US between your 18th and 26th birthday. Although you were in the United States, if you did not have permanent resident status during those dates, it does not apply to you.Ask a similar question
I have to respectfully disagree with this. Unless an alien is maintaining lawful nonimmigrant status, all males between the ages of 18 and 26 are required to register with Selective Service, including those unlawfully present in the U.S. The registration requirement is not limited to only permanent resident aliens.
You are correct and I should clarify my answer. If the visa overstay occured prior to age 26, the answer will be yes. However, since the applicant is over 31 at the time of filing the N409, in accordance with USCIS field office guidance, failure to register will not affect his eligibility for naturalization and he has no obligation to provide evidence that the failure to register was not willful or knowing.
Yes, since the failure to register occurred outside the good moral character period, failure to register, by itself, would generally not be disqualifying. However, it may still be considered by USCIS if there are other issues pertaining to the applicant's good moral character in a totality of the circumstances test.
The answer to the question is yes. However, you are now beyond the required registration age and because you were in unlawful status until 32, you were not eligible to register. It should not adversely impact your naturalization eligibility.

You explain that you are now beyond the age of which it is required to register for selective service.

No. You must have been an LPR to register when you were under 24 years of age.

I have to respectfully disagree with this. Unless an alien is maintaining lawful nonimmigrant status, all males between the ages of 18 and 26 are required to register with Selective Service, including those unlawfully present in the U.S. The registration requirement is not limited to only permanent resident aliens.
Mr. Devore's comment is absolutely correct. Here is what the rule is: If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It's the law. According to law, a man must register with Selective Service within 30 days of his 18th birthday. Selective Service will accept late registrations but not after a man has reached age 26. You may be denied benefits or a job if you have not registered. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; being sure to include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to the Selective Service System, P.O. Box 94636, Palatine, IL 60094-4636. Hence, he is correct and I was wrong. My bad. Sorry.
Under these facts you were required to register with Selective Service if you were not maintaining lawful nonimmigrant status between the ages of 18 and 26. Generally speaking, failure to register for selective service is considered indicative of proof moral character.
However, since more than 5 years has past since the registration requirement ended (at age 26), absent extenuating circumstances, failure to register is generally speaking considered not to be disqualifying. Consult with a Board Certified Immigration Attorney for advice specific to your situation.

The First White Laser - IEEE Spectrum
Jared Sperli stashed this in science
Stashed in: Science!, Light, Lasers!, Science Too, Physics
Scientists and engineers at Arizona State University, in Tempe, have created the first lasers that can shine light over the full spectrum of visible colors. The device's inventors suggest the laser could find use in video displays, solid-state lighting, and a laser-based version of Wi-Fi.
Although previous research has created red, blue, green and other lasers, each of these lasers usually only emitted one color of light. Creating a monolithic structure capable of emitting red, green, and blue all at once has proven difficult because it requires combining very different semiconductors. Growing such mismatched crystals right next to each other often results in fatal defects throughout each of these materials.
But now scientists say they've overcome that problem. The heart of the new device is a sheet only nanometers thick made of a semiconducting alloy of zinc, cadmium, sulfur, and selenium. The sheet is divided into different segments. When excited with a pulse of light, the segments rich in cadmium and selenium gave off red light; those rich in cadmium and sulfur emitted green light; and those rich in zinc and sulfur glowed blue.
Yep, I'd even say, sùper nito.
If they manage to industrialize that technologie, I'm expecting a little boom in the high-tech industry!
Screens with 3 times the amount of pixels for the same dimensions?
That does seem very useful though I was unclear on the cost to do so.

A book of liesMature
I know this jumps around, but this is my life, in a nutshell. A constant work in progress. So try not too judge to harshly. Constructive criticism much needed.
I can remember the exact moment I opened the box. Inside lay two thin, yellow books; one for me, and one for Cassy. I pulled out the letter, almost as an afterthought.
I will always be here for you. I love you. Mom
I flipped through the thick pages, noticing each dog-eared page. What were you trying to tell me?
Each time I think of you, I promise to send you a kiss on the wind. And I promise I'll be counting the days until I can see you again. -Marin McKay
The first words I read I would hold close to me while you were gone, which would be most of my life. I had the strong childlike hope that we would be a family again. You and Daddy would stop fighting and Cassy and I would be happy. We would all be together again. But everyother weekend when we went to see you, you weren't changed, and Daddy would barely speak to you. I realized nothing would ever be the same.
When I was young, I believed in you. I thought the world of you. When things in my life didn't turn out, or I had a bad day, the first person I wanted to call was you. Despite your neglect and your absence, I thought your approval was everything. But I didn't know the truth. I didn't know the failure you would turn out to be. I didn't know the heartache and worry and stress you would bring in my life. I didn't estimate the deciet and manipulation. When I was young, I had a book of words you sent to me; I had a book to believe in, to tell me what you wanted me to know. I had a book of meaningless poems that you marked, telling me that you wanted to be there for me more than ever, and that being apart wouldn't change us, or our relationship. I had a book of lies.

Great Lakes Brewing Co. is protecting its turf. With fellow award-winning — and big — craft breweries Deschutes and New Belgium starting to distribute in Ohio over the last several months, the Cleveland brewery has gone on the offensive with a statewide advertising campaign designed to remind beer drinkers of its Ohio roots.
The campaign carries the slogan: "We're proud to brew in the Buckeye State. (We'd yell 'O-H' but we don't want you to spill your beer.)"
The print advertisement (see it above) has appeared in the Akron Beacon Journal and other newspapers.
"We really do feel having the new breweries introduced here is good for craft, but our job is to keep selling our beer," Great Lakes brewer Luke Purcell said about the campaign.
Great Lakes, known for making such favorites at Christmas Ale, Burning River Pale Ale, Blackout Stout and Dortmunder Gold, wants to remind Ohioans that "we're in your backyard," he said.
The brewery, founded in 1988, is the oldest craft brewery in Ohio. It's also the largest Ohio-based craft operation. Boston-based Samuel Adams runs a bigger craft brewery in Cincinnati.
Several brewers and retailers have said that Deschutes and New Belgium pose competition for Great Lakes unlike other smaller craft breweries that have moved into the state. New Belgium and Deschutes are the third- and fifth-largest craft brewers in the U.S. and their names and brands — just like Great Lakes — carry weight with many craft beer drinkers.
Deschutes Black Butte Porter is considered the nation's top-selling craft porter, while Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald is second.
And New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale is a sought-after brand.
Some craft drinkers will likely shift their attention away from Great Lakes — at least in the short term — to sample the new offerings available here. Craft drinkers aren't exactly known for their loyalty.
"We're the transfer kid," Deschutes brand ambassador Lauranne "Lou" Crooks said at a recent appearance in Akron. "Everyone wants to know who we are. Finding out where our accent is from. Where'd he get that dark scar from thing. Some people have heard of us. Some people haven't."
Asked whether Deschutes will steal any market share from Great Lakes — both breweries offer similar portfolios — she responded: "I think we will but in a positive way" in terms of growing the overall craft segment.
Great Lakes has a big and loyal following in the state already, Purcell said. But he also noted that it seems that the farther you move away from Cleveland the "cooler we are."
It's the they've-gotten-so-popular-and-big-I-don't-like-them-anymore mentality. Fat Head's Brewery general manager Ted Lipovan has heard people make those comments and thinks that attitude is silly.
"We're all standing on Great Lakes' shoulders," he said, referring to the fact that the brewery paved the way for every other craft brewer in the state.

US presidential race issues: Economy
In a May Gallup poll, 86 percent of Americans said the economy will be an extremely or very important issue for them during the 2016 presidential election. So, yeah, the economymeansa lotto voters.
That's because it affects everyone. It's how much people get paid, how much everyday items cost, the availability of jobs, etc. As for how the economy's doing right now, well, that depends whom you ask.
"All told, we've now seen 64 straight months of private sector job growth, which is a new record. New record. Twelve point eight million new jobs all told, and that's good," President Barack Obama said during a speech in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
See photos related to the economy:
See Gallery
"It's a false economy that we're living in. We're in a bubble," Donald Trump said during an interview with CBS. "But let me tell you something, the Obama administration, we have tremendous unemployment in this country."
The latest numbers on jobs are actually pretty optimistic. The Labor Department's most recent report on unemployment puts it at 5.1 percent, the lowest rate since 2008. The federal government also says 173,000 jobs were added in August.
The wealth gap isn't as rosy, though — the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ranks the U.S. as one of the worst nations for wealth inequality. And it's not getting any better.
According to the OECD, that's bad for the economy. Taxes are a big issue as well. While wealth inequality is a relatively new talking point, taxes are not.
"It's a proportional tax; that's what tithing is," Ben Carson told Fox Business.
"If you're investing, you should have a lower tax rate, and we're proposing 20 percent," Jeb Bush told CNN.
"The wealthiest people in this country are in fact going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes," Sen. Bernie Sanders told PBS NewsHour.
Other political talking points may come and go, but the economy is an issue that's always going to be on people's minds.
See where the presidential hopefuls stand

Monrovia (Calif.) defensive lineman Ellis McCarthy didn't know exactly what to expect on his official visit to Oregon. It was his first official visit of the year and first time he had been to Eugene but it didn't take long for the big tackle to feel right at home.
"Man, I loved it there," McCarthy said. "I had high expectations and the trip blew them out of the water. The facilities, the academic center, the locker rooms and the treatment center were all first class and Oregon spares no expense when it comes to building up their football program. The game atmosphere was incredible and like nothing I've ever seen before. I've been to games at USC and UCLA before, but Oregon was by far the loudest stadium I've been in.
McCarthy said he had a great time with his hosts and the coaches, too.
"Garrick Carlyle was my host and he was cool, I got along great with all the players. I talked a lot with the defensive coaches, coach [Nick] Aliotti and coach [Jerry] Azzinaro, and they think I could play anywhere on the defensive line. They want me to learn nose guard, defensive tackle and defensive end and want me on the field. My goal is to start as a true freshman, I've never watched much football, I've always been on the field and I want to continue that in college as well."
The feeling by many, including McCarthy's own father, is it will be tough to get him out of Los Angeles to play his college ball. The lineman refuted that claim.
"I'm actually leaning to Oregon right now," McCarthy said. "I fit in really well there and if I had to sign today, it would be with Oregon. Now that could be the emotion of the trip and that's why I want to take all five of my visits. I'm going to Florida, Washington, Cal and USC, and then I'll take an unofficial to UCLA.
"After all my visits, I should be able to weigh the pros and cons and figure out where the best fit for me is. I have no problem leaving my home and my parents really loved it at Oregon as well. They liked the academic support a lot and of course I love the football program and great facilities so Oregon is definitely my leader as of right now."

Playboy magazine are suing Harper's Bazaar for allegedly using photographs of Kate Moss dressed as a 'bunny girl' without permission.
The British supermodel posed as the cover star for the men's magazine's 60th anniversary issue. The shoot also marked Moss' 40th birthday and celebrated her 25-year career.
Kate Moss At 40: Her Biggest Fashion Hits
In the court documents, issued by Playboy Enterprises International to the fashion magazine's publishing house Hearst on Friday, it is claimed that the editors at Harper's Bazaar not only posted a photograph of Moss dressed in its trademark Playboy bunny ears and leotard online without consent, but the publication also linked to a feature published on a separate website with nine copyrighted nude images of the star embedded within it.

Playboy is seeking $150,000 (£91,000) per photograph for copyright infringement.
The 18-page series was originally shot by acclaimed fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Editorial director Jimmy Jellinek said of the issue when the images were first debuted at the start of December 2013: "Playboy's anniversary edition is a testament to 60 years of beautiful women, discerning taste, sexual emancipation, ground-breaking fiction and world-changing journalism.
Kate Moss In Quotes: 'Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels'
"Having Kate Moss, a global icon and the most important supermodel of the past 25 years, appear on our cover makes this issue the perfect way to launch Playboy's next 60 years."
Editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner added: "From its beginning, Playboy has stood for freedom of speech, freedom of choice and freedom of the press. I am so proud to celebrate this anniversary as the magazine continues its mission to promote these core values many decades later."
Representatives at Harper's Bazaar are yet to issue a statement with regards to the suit.Reuse content

I made an interesting discovery this afternoon. I was doing a Google search for Walgreens coupons, and guess what? I found out that the Diabetes and You magazines are now available online! Yay! And the best part–the coupons are still in the online version! This is great for those of you who can't find these booklets in your neck of the woods!
The Holiday 2010/Winter 2011 Diabetes and You booklet is split into two separate parts. Download the first part here and the second part here. You'll need Adobe Reader to view these files.
What coupons will you be printing? I'll print the Colgate, Neuragen, and Biotene, as the $5 Neuragen moneymaker is still going on!


text: CARSON CITY, Nev., April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid Fire Marketing (Pink Sheets: RFMK) announced today that the Vapor Inhaler's CannaCig model has passed all tests, including actual trials done by medical marijuana patients over the weekend. Additionally, pre-orders for the Vapor Inhaler's CannaCig model have been coming in through VInhaler.com and the distributor side of Rapid Fire Marketing's website. A substantial marketing effort has been underway through the weekend, and will be stepped up this week and beyond, to build interest and awareness of the CannaCig. Marketing includes viral campaigns, street marketing and product posters which include one already visible on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles which has substantial traffic. The CannaCig will be available at Otherside Health Management and Tabu Smoke Shops starting today. Otherside expects to sell out of our first trial run before the week's end and Tabu is already requesting more units. The Vapor Inhaler CannaCig model will be distributed nationwide after the next order arrives. "We are ready to move forward now with full production of the Vapor Inhaler's first model which we named the CannaCig. There are specific actions being taken in anticipation of our next order's delivery. This week we will set up our distributor program including following up on solid leads that we want to act on quickly. We have talked to several distributors that want the CannaCig as soon as possible. Next, we will set up our online store and an affiliate program for websites to sell the unit, minus the active ingredient of course," said Tom Allinder, CEO of Rapid Fire Marketing. The clear success of the CannaCig is prompting Rapid Fire Marketing to order a second round of production. The size of the production is set to be 500 units but could grow depending on the final count of pre-orders and interested vendors. Production cost will now be reduced to $30.00 per unit while the pricing structure will remain the same, with a retail price of $99.95 per empty unit and $120.00 with the active agent. "The effort to transform this company into a structured entity and viable brand name is under way. The business plan is almost complete. I am being persistent with the DTCC to discover a reason for the chill and have it removed. Obviously, we need to achieve larger production runs but that can only be done through the growth financing I have been speaking of over the last couple months. That continues to be a big focus of mine and will be until we have a deal in place that enables us to do large production runs, introduce our new products and hire more staff," said Allinder.

I'm looking for an experienced WordPress coder to:1. Create a WordPress compatible pop up window. The pop up should:
- Lock out page functionality behind the popup;
- Follow the user up and down the page, staying centered;
- re-center itself whenever the screen size changes, device rotated, or onclick event is fired;
- use cookies to remember users who already signed in (via facebook/twitter login)
- only appear on a certain URL (static page);
- work with all modern web browsers (IE 10, Firefox, Chrome);
- close once a user has signed in;
- only appear if a user/ someone is not logged in.
There is an example on http://www.maedchenflohmarkt.de/ which EXACTLY fulfills the desired funtionality.
Note: I've already installed a facebook/twitter login plugin. You will only have to create the pop up and insert later the facebook/twitter login plug in.
I think there is already a plugin on here that does that, I think it's called social pop, but I think it's tweets too rather than just logs in, but I'm sure it would be a good start.
Also, it's worth noting, something like this can be easily disabled via Firebug or similar (right click on the element -> inspect element -> delete) and voila, it's gone.
Already found that plugin, but as I'm absolutely not familiar with any coding, I thought I rather ask an expert to create a new one/ modify the social pop plugin.
I didn't know that it's possible to hide the pop up, thanks for that, but I just assume that most people don't know how to hide it as well.
Found a solution.

We're Going to Need a Ship...Mature
Well, Dustin thought. I should have seen that coming a mile away. How could I have forgotten Short Circuit? He unplugged his headphones and looked over at Tracy. She was, of course, still unconscious, leaning back against the boxes in the corner.
Dustin glanced at his wrist, and realized that he forgot to put his watch back on. He dug through his bag. It was a good thing Tracy nicked my stuff from the filing room. He managed to find his Casio calculator watch, and paused. Wait... She just grabbed them? No hassle, no guards, nothing? He thought back to when he was in the questioning room. The cameras were a bit obvious, he realized. And the cops didn't even have a display in the viewing room. Or a speaker, for the microphone. Shit, the Heartfield PD must be pretty lax... Using the stuff for a scare tactic rather than... I don't know- Their purpose? He smiled to himself and pulled the watch from the bag. Hey, it worked out for me this time.
Dustin found some difficulty putting the watch on his wrist, considering he was handcuffed, and gave up after a minute or two. He checked the time. 4:15. One hour till Mrs. Essex gets back. He sighed and pulled out his phone.
He looked over at Tracy. She was so peaceful. He looked at his phone, and recalled the sound file he had of Lavos' screech, from Chrono Trigger.
He felt so evil.
He quietly scooched over to Tracy, phone at the ready. He ever-so-slowly brought it up to her ear, and tapped the button.
"- JES-!! -Fuck you, Dustin!!" Tracy scrambled up and punched Dustin's arm.
"-Ow!" He exclaimed as he laughed, smiling wide. "But you were totally asking for it!"
"Yeah, you and your practical jokes..." She swept her hair back, and finally joined in with a smile. "Next time, just change my ringtone to something stupid! 'Scared the living shit out of me... Fuck..." She rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, come on, we need to get a move on anyway. We only got a little bit before Jake's mom starts heading back, so let's come up with some sort of plan to find clues..."
She nodded, but stopped and gave him a sideways look. "... This isn't an episode of Scooby-Doo, Dustin. Real people are really dying... Tsk, 'Clues'... It doesn't even sound like you're serious."
He twisted his lip. "-Ok, 'evidence'. I was the one who saw the frickin' body! I'm taking this seriously!"
Tracy picked at the inside of her ear. "... My eardrums would say otherwise..."
Dustin gestured at her to calm down. "Ok- Ok- Ok... Regardless, we need to come up with a plan."
Tracy pushed herself up with a grunt. "-Like what? Can't you just be all, hack- hack- Done?"
Dustin shook his head. "Pfft, I wish. I can't do that, that stupid app keeps fucking with us..."
Tracy rolled her eyes. "Yeah, the app, not a rational killer..." She muttered. "-Well, if we can't get at him with the computer, we're going to need a ride."
Dustin nodded, and pulled out his smartphone again. "Yeah. I've been thinking about that... I think we can get a car or two if we need them..."
Tracy was taken back, shocked. "-D -Dustin, you used your hacking to...?"
He waved her away, looking at his phone. "-Don't worry, don't worry, I didn't steal any money from anybody. I applied for a credit card with a fake credit score... That should get us- What? A month and a half, after the late period?- Of funds before we need to do somthing..."
Tracy crossed her arms. "And just putting an averge, four-thousand dollar car on the bill the day after applying won't raise any eyebrows?"
"No... I was thinking of something a bit more expensive..." Dustin scrolled through a list of some kind.
Dustin turned his phone towards her.
"... A 1982 Pontiac Trans Am...? Holy crap, Dustin, you ARE insane!"
"-No I'm not! It'd be frickin' awesome! I could trick it out, get the fender scanner, and everything!"
"Yeah, for fourty-thousand dollars!! And that one is in rough shape... It wouldn't even make a decent Knight Rider..."
Dustin's eyes widened. "-It's 'KITT'! The fucking car's name is 'KITT'! Knight Rider is the show, 'KITT' is the car!!"
"-Well, hang me! I've never really seen Knight Rider, ok?"
Dustin gasped, and took a step back, staring at Tracy with wide eyes. "-W -Who are you?... And what have you done with my friend?"
"-Oh, for crimeny's sake, Dustin, I really haven't seen Knight Rider!"
There was a moment of silence.
"... I'm still getting the car..."
"... You're still getting the car... " Tracy rolled her eyes and groaned.
Dustin looked down at his phone and scrolled through some more cars. "... I would've gotten a DeLorean, but the reproductions are over a hundred-thousand."
Tracy held her hand out. "-See? See? THAT would have been an awesome ride. Back to the Future is way better than some obscure TV show..."
"-Ob -Obscure?! It-! Hasselhoff-! No, not even going to go there..." Dustin shook his head. "A hundred-thousand dollars is my cap anyway. What car did you want?"
"-Wait, you're getting two? You can't even drive..."
Dustin shrugged. "I'm a fast learner. And besides, KITT!"
Tracy rolled her eyes. "Yeah... Well, if you are going to get a car, I just want my old one back... That thing was my pride and joy... Before, y' know, getting completely wrecked."
Dustin tapped a few things. "-And... Done. We just have to pick up the Neon. It's not red, but it'll have to do..."
"-What, that fast? And what about your fan-boy reference car? You got that in your color. And no way someone was selling that near here..." She responded, obviously still irritated with Dustin's prank.
"-'ey! Isn't that what we are? Fan-boys! And I'm having it shipped over here." He smiled proudly.
"-Yeah, fourty-thousand down the drain... And mine didn't even cost a thousand!" Tracy turned. "-You're just hopeless..."
Dustin did some finalizing on the deals. "What? Is it my fault your car was so cheap?"
Tracy walked over to the other end of the basement, and waved him off. "... I'm not listening..."
"Yeah, whatever..."
Tracy sat on the washer, and called across the room, "-Are you going to check the cars for police tracers?"
Dustin frowned, and stared off into space, a confused look on his face.
"-What's up?"
Dustin waved her off. "I felt a disturbance... As if a million voices suddenly called out-"
"-Yeah, that's great. You go be looney on that side of the basement..." Tracy interrupted.
Dustin paused, and bit his lip, puzzled. He shrugged, and went back to check the confirmations on the car orders.

Observer staffer wins award
Dallas Observer staff writer Thomas Korosec is this year's winner of the Philbin Award for newspaper coverage of legal issues in Dallas.
Korosec won the $500 award for his January 9, 1997, cover story about plaintiff's attorney Brian Loncar, "Smash 'em and smile". The brash lawyer is well known in Dallas for his television ads, which featured Loncar driving a tank over a car and declaring he is a lawyer who will "fight for you."
Korosec dug deeply into Loncar's practice and uncovered a lawsuit mill where untrained, underpaid office staff churn lawsuits.
The article prompted Loncar to send his workers around Dallas scooping up as many copies of the offending Observers as possible, presumably to keep them out of readers' hands. As a result, Loncar was charged with criminal mischief. The case is pending.
The Philbin Award is named for Stephen Philbin, a media lawyer who died in 1982. The award is given to reporters in newspaper, radio, television, and magazine categories. This year, the Observer was allowed to compete against The Dallas Morning News in the newspaper division. The selection was made by a panel of judges named by the media committee of the Dallas Bar.

|Andy Brickley on M&M: 'No maliciousness' from Max Pacioretty on Johnny Boychuk hit
|12.06.13 at 11:56 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Friday, following Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens in Montreal.
The Bruins had a 1-0 lead after a period but struggled in the second as the Canadiens took control.
"There's nothing there in way of explaining why they played the way they did in the second period," Brickley said. "In fact, the four days off should have worked to their benefit in the second period. You knew you were going to get a better push from Montreal than what they were able to give you in the first 20 given the fact that this was game three in four nights for them, plus travel.
"But this Montreal Canadiens team is a little different in the sense that they don't just try to beat you with their speed and their skill, they do have a little sandpaper to their game. They compete a lot harder for pucks, they know that they had to add that element to their game if they wanted to win the Atlantic Division with a team like the Bruins in there, and the Bruins being — I don't know if it's the gold standard, but certainly the measuring stick that you need to play similar to in over to win the division.
"That being said, you expected Montreal to have a much better second period, and for some inexplicable reason, the Bruins played maybe one of the their worst periods of the year — Claude Julien used the word 'atrocious' following the game, and you can't argue with that. When they've played poorly in second periods this year it's been for a variety of reasons, but the common thread is just that lack of — I don't know if you want to call it a sense of urgency — for me it's more paying attention to detail.
"I'm lost, really, for an explanation as to why they are so inconsistent in the second periods when they have opportunities to put teams away after 40 minutes."
During the first period, Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk was checked into the boards by Max Pacioretty and had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher.
"It was a borderline hit. I thought the call was accurate that it was worthy of a two-minute boarding call," Brickley said. "He tried to get him on the side and not from the back, but it's in that dangerous area, distance away from the boards and a player almost with his back to you. What they're trying to do is educate players, even though you've played the game a certain way for so long, it has to change because too many guys are getting hurt. They have to continue to work on that and further educate these guys and maybe tweak the rules a little bit to allow you to make different types of hits in those situations.
"But there was no maliciousness there, I didn't think, from Pacioretty. It was just one of those reactionary hits, two guys battling in an area where always there's a puck battle. And it was just the awkwardness that Boychuck went into the boards."
Brickley said he was impressed with how the Bruins kept their composure after the incident.
"As far as the players are concerned, they did a terrific job, I thought, of maintaining some focus. Because your focus and your attention and your emotional feelings change when you see that happen," Brickley said. "Your focus is totally on a first-place game against your arch rival, a game that you really want, a game that you should out-energize them, and you had some decent things happening in the first period. And now your focus changes dramatically.
"And the Bruins did a pretty good job of doing what they needed to do the rest of that period to take a lead into the intermission. But then to just give it away in the second period was so disappointing."

|Claude Julien: 'It's going to be a little while' before Johnny Boychuk returns from injury
|12.05.13 at 11:37 pm ET
MONTREAL — Johnny Boychuk was cleared to travel with the Bruins Thursday night after he left the game against the Canadiens on a stretcher and was rushed to the hospital.
'He was cleared to fly back with us,' Claude Julien said. 'He's still obviously injured. We don't know the severity of it and I don't know all the details, but it was an injury serious enough to bring him to the hospital. Definitely, it's going to be a little while before he's good to go. I don't know exactly how much time, but the good news is he's coming back with us tonight and he'll be reassessed by our doctors back in Boston.'
Boychuk was injured on an awkward play in which he was turning as Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty went to hit his shoulder. Pacioretty received a boarding minor for the play, with the Bruins saying they didn't find the play to be malicious on his part.
The veteran defenseman remained on the ice for several minutes and had his head and neck immobilized after being placed on the stretcher. He was hunched over on the ice before he got onto the stretcher, which might have suggested the issue could have been something with his back.
'Well obviously he seemed like he wasn't able to move,' Julien said. 'Whether it's his back, I don't know exactly. I don't like to comment on things I don't know much about and give false information. He's coming back with us and no doubt tomorrow we'll have a clearer explanation and probably more details from our own doctors.
'They did a great job here, took good care of him. He saw the specialist and he cleared him to fly back with us, so we'll see how he is.'

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

Transgender Woman Wanted for Murder After Botched Silicone Injection
Police in Citrus Heights may be closing in on their search for a transgender woman who is wanted for murder.
Police may be close to finding Alejandra Aguilera-Ortega.
Police say she is a transgender escort, accused of illegally injecting silicone into the buttocks of another transgender woman a year ago.
That woman became sick and was taken to Mercy San Juan Hospital where she died a week later.
Police say Ortega posted ads online, under her nickname "Sexy Rachel," offering her escort services as recently as last month.
Her family spoke to a local news station and say they don't think she is in the Sacramento area, and is on the run because she is scared.
If anyone has any information on Ortega's whereabouts, you're asked to contact the Citrus Heights police department.

Palakkad (Kerala), Aug 27 (ANI): Cattle-racing in Chidali village of Kerala's Palakkad district attracted farmers from different parts of the state on Friday.
The cattle race Club as a part of the harvesting season organizes the race during the last days of Onam.
"Cattle race is a festival of farmers and agriculture festival, too. This is useful to conduct on the Onam season in Kerela. In Palakkad this festival is a unique one, which is conducting in the other parts of Kerela," said P. K. Narayan, Secretary of the Cattle Race Club of India.
A special 100 metres track, filled with water and soft mud, was artificially created for the race.
Two pairs of cattle run simultaneously on a watery track with their owners.
The participating cattle were divided into three categories for the races, namely, bullock-bullock, bullock-buffalo, and buffalo- buffalo.
"This year, we are conducting the race in three different categories, that is, juniors, sub-juniors and senior. And also, we have three categories of races, that is bullock-bullock, buffalo-buffalo and bullock-buffalo, and this year we have more than 300 participants altogether with the buffalo and oxen," said Anjo, an organiser of the cattle race.
