He writes his columns for the masses, and it seems as though he is trying to mitigate any overreaction that the casual observer might feel if we don't win tonight.
I agree, he could have popped out something waaaaaaaay more substantial and deep than this.
Yes it is assurance that a win means your competition gets a lose. In that guess I agree that this game is different. And it is the Heat. If teams are showing up to play their best against us because we are elite, then we should against them.
I just don't see this game as a statement game to the NBA to take us seriously. I think they already do. And if we lose I don't think they will take us any more lightly.
I would say this is a must win game. Like you said, We are playing our direct competition for the #1 seed. These head to head match ups are the best way to ensure we finish ahead of them.
Its foolish in my opinion for folks to say that games against your elite competition don't matter cause its not the playoffs. That is the thinking spawned from not having a good team for so long. "Oh well we beat them now, but it dont' matter cause they will be so much better in the playoffs, and thats when it really counts" Thats what you would have said 2 years ago when the current Pacers hadn't won a Playoff series yet, a win over Miami was impressive, but really didn't matter. Because Miami has that other gear they are saving for the playoffs. You know, like there is a still a pecking order.
This year is different, we have proven that we can play up to their level. The rivalry is real. These games are about resetting the Pecking order.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Don't get caught up in the term statement game, I agree it's not a statement game. Everyone knows who we are now, but I do think it is an important game.
Also, I don't know where else to put this, but Heat fans are especially whiney on twttier today. They are searching the hashtag built not bought and just whining whenever someone uses it. I am having fun just putting it in random tweets now.
Must-wins for me is elimination game, an impossible road ahead if we lose, or a clinching game (game 7, number one seed). This game does not fall into any of that. So I would not consider this a must win.
I suspect each team wins 2 games in the 4 game regular season matchup. Probably each will win one game on the other teams court.
I find it interesting that after tonight we play them a week later. Then after the next matchup March 26th, we play them 2 weeks later. I think it is just a coincidence, but I think it will tend to insure a 2-2 season split. Whoever lkoses tonight will win next week, same for next pair of games.
I guess I don't understand what a statement game is. Game 7 ECF finals was that a statement game? Or are only regular season games statement games? Was OKC beating us Sunday night a statement game? Us beating the Spurs? I honestly have no idea.
Maybe the only statement that can be made is your record. 18-3 is impressive.
Did the Celtics make a statement by beaing the Heat in Miami? Did the Pistons make a statement by beating the Heat in Miami. But then the Heat just beat the Pistons in Auburn Hills. Everyone knows the east is between the heat and the pacers. The Heat respect us, they know us well.

Reggie Miller says it is a statement game. I'll take his opinion over Kravitz
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Our bench can make a statement. I would love for OJ to make a statement in shooting. Danny could make a statement to dress up. But if we go to 18-4 and lose the next three. Then I would say that a statement could be made. But was that this lose or OKC? Would that win against the Spurs be a statement of how poor they were?
Any given game on any given night. This game is not anymore important than the next three against the Heat. It is all about trends in the first half of the season. THe Nets and Knicks are trending bad. The Pacers, Thunder, Heat, and Blazers are trending great. Celtics go back and forth, and so do the Griz. To say that this one of four and one of 82 games will make or break (must win games) is over selling it.
Bid of warning. Don't fall into the power rankings trap, they really don't mean a thing.
here is a pretty good article from the Miami Herald
Shane Battier's brawn to be tested as Miami Heat prepares for Pacers
By Joseph Goodman The Miami Herald
The Heat's use of a stretch power forward puts Shane Battier at a disadvantage on defense against the Pacers' David West.
By Joseph Goodman
INDIANAPOLIS -- Shane Battier rubbed the back of his neck not out of pain, but as an involuntary reaction to the idea of pain. It had already been a long and difficult road trip by the time Battier was soaking his post-game feet in a tub of ice in Detroit, but the worst, he was sure, was still to come.
The worst is David West. For Battier, the worst always is David West.
West is the rugged, intelligent and talented player for the Indiana Pacers who Battier will lean against, battle and use every ounce of his cagey 35 years to limit offensively on Tuesday in Indianapolis. The game between the Heat and Pacers is an early season matchup between the top teams in the Eastern Conference and a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals, a series that went the full seven games. Battier represents a key chess piece in what has become an ongoing struggle between the Heat's quickness and speed and the Pacers' size and muscle.
When Heat coach Erik Spoelstra goes on tangents about "identity" and, more specifically, the imposition of that abstract idea on opponents, Battier's three-pointers are, to a degree, the decoded message of that coach speak.
"Obviously, this game will have a spotlight on it from the outside, but we just want to play well and play to our identity and build on what we've done in these last two games on the road," Spoelstra said after back-to-back victories against the Timberwolves and Pistons. "That's what I'm looking forward to seeing, the resolve, the toughness, the defense…Can you still consistently get to your identity against a team that has a vastly different identity, and can you impose that identity more consistently?
"That's the bigger issue and focus on our part. We understand that there will be a big storyline for this game, but that's not our focus, the storyline."
Of course, the focus and identity of the Eastern Conference standings might be slightly important despite Spoelstra's best efforts to trivialize such nonsense. The Pacers (18-3) currently are two games ahead of the Heat (16-5), and Indiana clearly has made it a priority to earn home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
Tuesday could represent an important tie-breaker if it comes down to that and, considering the Heat blew out the Pacers at AmericanAirlines Arena in Game 7 of the 2013 Eastern Conference finals after an otherwise even series, there seems to be a little more at stake on Tuesday than Spoelstra's existential concepts of "journey," "identity," and "process."
In reality, the Pacers are playing well right now and the Heat has been dealing with injuries and lineup shifts throughout the beginning of the season. Advantage: Pacers.
"Obviously everyone is going to make it as a marquee game, but I don't really get too involved in regular-season matchups, especially in December," LeBron James said. "They're a very good team — probably a great team — right now, the way they're playing basketball, and we're trying to get healthy.
"We're trying to get to our full potential, so we'll see what we can do. We look forward to the opportunity of going in there and playing on Tuesday but it's not like it's a statement game for us."
Still, that doesn't mean things will be any easier for Battier. For him, Tuesday's game is another installment in a rivalry that was never supposed to feature him as the primary counterpart to West's bulk, but Spoelstra has once again benched Udonis Haslem in favor of Battier's skills as a three-point shooter. For the purposes of tactical advantages and mismatches in a playoff series, that's just fine, but stretched out over the course of a regular season, the nightly pounding Battier absorbs playing out of position at power forward takes a toll.
And this road trip has been particularly brutal.
It started with Carlos Boozer and the Bulls before shifting to the Minnesota where Battier caught a break with Kevin Love out of the Timberwolves' lineup, but still found himself at times pushing against the immovable low-post force that is Nikola Pekovic. On Sunday, Battier matched up against Greg Monroe. And, now, Battier gets West.
"I caught a lucky break against Minnesota with Kevin Love not playing but this is the equivalent of murder's row for me as a 6-8, 215-pound power forward" Battier said. "And it gets more difficult as it goes on. But you just fight like hell and do the best you can and live with it."
By and large, that was the Heat's overall outlook on the eve of what's supposedly its most important game of the early season.

If we lose this game tonight, I would really really want to win next week. I think that the two games will be a split. If we lose both, I will be worried a little. If we win both I will be excited, a little.
A win is important, but I think fans should not make too much of a big deal with the result of this game.
A win today will give us some cushion with the Heat, but they will certainly move on easily after this. Only the media will just make some big headlines out of the win, and will probably blow it out of proportion especially if the win is so dominating. Of course a loss will mean more bashing for the legitimacy of the Pacers as title contenders, but I think it for both teams it's not much of a big deal. Let's remember that Chicago in Rose's MVP year dominated the Heat in the regular season, only for them to be demolished in 5 games. The Pacers last year had a pretty good record against the Heat in the regular season, but they still prevailed in 7 games. So while the atmosphere will certainly be intense, both teams will not take too much meaning out of this regardless of results.
I think this is more of a coming out game for our young stars, Paul George and Lance Stephenson, more than anything. This game will be getting so many viewers and a very good showing for them will legitimize their stardom and this might earn them a few more fans outside the Pacers fan base.
From the EOB guys over CBS on tonight's game http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-...im-the-kingdom
I can see the argument for this game being important within the race for home court, but I don't really buy this game giving us added confidence, or it being a statement game of sorts. We know we're good, and so does Miami along with the rest of the league. A win tonight doesn't cement that fact any more than a loss would tarnish it. We won the season series against Miami last year, including a blowout win at home, and it meant absolutely nothing once the playoffs came around.
Obviously this is a big, marquee game, no different that the Ind-Chi (at the time), Ind-Por, Ind-SA, Ind-OKC games. Everyone likes seeing the best teams play against one another in order to see who comes out on top. And the games within each conference tend to matter more due to potential/likely playoff matchups, but rarely do these games garner any meaning when the playoffs come around.
I am in the small group that doesn't believe we need homecourt advantage in order to beat Miami. It definitely would be awesome if we had a game 7 here as opposed to Miami, but I don't believe it's the ONLY way we can beat them.
So what happens if the Pacers lose? Season over? No #1 seed? Doomed against the Heat in the EC Finals?
This statement also serves as a summary of Kravitz's article:Originally Posted by Trader Joe

For six weeks the NBA has waited for this, the start of the season series of the only Eastern Conference matchup of consequence, the first meeting between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers since last season's epic seven-game conference finals.
And now that it's here, Tuesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the passion has never been more . . . muted?
"It's not a statement game," Heat forward LeBron James said as he looked ahead to the final stop of this four-game trip. "I'm not going to fall into that."
But it's Heat-Pacers, LeBron vs. Paul George, the size of Roy Hibbert and David West against the guile of Chris Bosh and Shane Battier, Indiana's bolstered bench against the Heat's considerable depth.
This is . . . just one of 82?
"I mean obviously everyone's going to make it into a marquee game," James said. "I don't really get too much involved in regular-season matchups, especially early, in December.
"They're a very good team. They're a great team right now, the way they're playing basketball."
Fortunately, there is the coaching matchup between the Heat's Erik Spoelstra and Pacers' Frank Vogel, whose verbal sparring the past two postseasons has added spice to this meeting of the conference's top teams.
So that . . . isn't sparking much, either.
"Obviously this game will have a spotlight on it from outside," Spoelstra said, so passionate about the meaning of this one . . . that he gave his team Monday off. "We just want to play well. We want to play to our identity and build on what we've done these last two games on the road. That's what I'm looking forward to seeing, is the resolve, the toughness, the defense."
The Pacers have made this season a crusade for the No. 1 playoff seed in the East, the seed the Heat utilized to host and win last season's Game 7. Considering the tiebreaker implications, that, alone, should raise the stakes. Right?
"I think a lot of that is rhetoric," Spoelstra said. "We want to play well. We want to build on what we're doing. We want to continue to take steps forward and build a game that can win at home or on the road.
"And Indiana has done a tremendous job so far this season. We respect them. We've had two great battles with them in the playoffs. The respect runs deep.
We know we have to play well."
Fortunately, not all in the Heat locker room are numb to the moment after a week in the frigid Midwest.
"We understand they're going to be worked up and probably marked that on their calendar as soon as the schedules came out," Bosh said. "Can't worry about that. We just come out and play ball, we do our thing."
At least Bosh recognizes this is not the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thanksgiving eve or finding motivation for the early home-and-home matchups against the Charlotte Bobcats.
"I mean you always look forward to it," he said. "You look forward to the competition. I'm more excited about playing those guys on the road, getting it started there, because we're in the process of trying to get better with our rebounding and our defense and they're a good team, to really see where they are."
If nothing else, at least Battier appreciates what outsiders want to hear, deadpanning, "I'm surprised the NBA is not wheeling in the Larry O'Brien trophy."
And, yes, he said the players very much appreciate the moment.
"We've been through these types of games before," he said. "And they're playing great. They're playing, I would say, the best in the league right now, if you go by point differential.
"We did not play well against them at their place last year, so we know this game is on our calendar. . . . This is a not a surprise game, 'Oh my God we're playing Indiana on Tuesday,' but it will be a good regular-season game."
And a passionate one from at least one side of the equation, considering how the sting of last season's Eastern Conference finals still resonates for the Pacers.
"I think it's very similar to this team two years ago playing against Dallas," Battier said of losing the 2011 NBA Finals to the Mavericks and then pounding Dallas in the first regular-season meeting the following season. "The pain of a playoff loss is tough and there's nothing like it. It's a truly motivating force. And it's nothing we can do to replicate that edge that they'll have come Tuesday."

I love this man.
Indiana Pacers @Pacers 1m
Coach Vogel tells the media, "I leave rivalry talk up to you guys. We want to beat everybody."
Passion. Pride. Patience. Pacers
Video autoplays when I open this thread, All of a sudden there is the Heat/Pacers preview blasting through my speakers at work...
Sorry, this is a bunch of crap.
With the fight for the #1 seed likely coming down to a VERY slim margin of W's and L's between us and the Heat, this game HAS to be one that we take as a statement game.
Would it be possible for us to get the #1 seed, and win a playoff series against the Heat if we lose today and get the #2 seed instead of the #1? Yes.
But we've clearly stated that we see it as our destiny and goal to achieve the #1 seed. Today's opponent is a serious threat to that goal. Heck YES this is a "more important" game!
I suppose we could all just give that "meh, it's just 1 of 82" excuse and not care about the end results today, but why do we even bother watching the regular season at all then? Why have we been so excited by our great start and all our gutsy victories?
Is this game make or break for the championship? Of course not.
It sure is a significant step towards reaching the next step of the stairs on our way TO it, though.
Indiana is going to look to make the statement that what people have been saying about them is true, they are for real this year about beating Miami and winning the title. Miami will be looking to make the statement of, "slow your role Indiana, we're still the top dogs". No, the season won't come to an end tonight regardless of the outcome, but it will certainly make for some interesting talk the rest of the way.
I would even go so far as to say that a win tonight by Indiana, could send them on a big winning streak a la last year's Miami team after they beat us. Winning tonight could give the Pacers a big big confidence booster. Hopefully a loss won't demoralize them and make them question what their team is all about. I trust Frank to have these guys mentally prepared for either outcome.
I guess there are 2 different viewpoints when it comes to this article and overall discussion.
1 ) Is this a Statement Game?
2 ) Is this game important?
I think both are 2 different perspectives of this game that answers different questions.
Looking at this from a Statement Game perspective....it doesn't matter as much since a lot of different scenarios can play out over the course of the season. If we lose, we lose...but it won't change the fact that we are considered an Elite Team on the same level as OKC, SA and Miami.
But looking at whether the game is actually important or not....it does matter for the various reasons that Trader Joe and graphic-er suggest due to the whole Tie-Breaker concern.
In the end...one can consider this game an important game that won't change any Statement that the Pacers have already made.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Months from now these two teams will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals. What happens here Tuesday night, and what happens when they play again in the regular season, won't eliminate anyone but together those games will go a long long way to determining where a 7th game, if necessary, will be played....months from now, these two teams will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals, and what happens here Tuesday night, and what happens when they play again in the regular season, won't mean squat.
That is not "squat".
Sure it's not the end of the world if we lose or cause for champagne if we win.
There will be no statement or psychological conquest tonight.
But it matters.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Can I just say that I hate it when embedded videos auto-start playing like that? I load up multiple tabs at once when I catch up on my PD reading, and all of a sudden that dude is reporting on Heat/Pacers and I have no idea where it's coming from.
Can that be edited out or otherwise somehow addressed, please?
From a team standpoint, I don't think this game means that much. Of course a win against the Heat is exciting, but it won't matter come May. However, I think this game means a lot to the city. Casual Indy folks are starting to ride the Pacers bandwagon again, but with a win tonight, I really think everyone jumps on board.

RESIDENTS living near the scene of a Stourbridge landslide which is forcing around 100 buses a day to divert along a quiet residential street say the problem is driving them up the wall.
The high wall that looms over Red Hill crumbled into the road two months ago on Christmas Eve - leaving the popular bus route and school run closed to traffic in both directions.
Residents in Cranbourne Road, however, say the closure has turned their narrow residential street into a rat run for diverted cars and buses.
And the problem shows little sign of a speedy fix - as authorities are still trying to determine who owns the wall.
Wendy Packer, spokesman for the residents of Cranbourne Road and a member of Stourbridge Township Council, said: "Everybody's extremely worried about safety.
"We've been having 100 buses a day travel up and down the road - and around 260 cars which is incredible. They can't pass each other safely and cars are mounting the pavement.
"One of my neighbours with a pushchair regularly has to step off the pavement to avoid having some sort of collision - and one bus reversed into Sherbourne Road.
"What we are concerned about is the extreme danger to pedestrians. It's intolerable.
"Small potholes are also appearing which I'm sure will become much larger and the road surface is cracking."
Dudley Council says temporary work, costing around £10,000, has now begun to shore up the bank with wooden rakes and shuttering.
A concrete barrier and heras fencing will also be installed to create a safe pedestrian walkway to enable the road to re-open one-way.
At a new community forum meeting last Thursday - residents were told the one-way system would be up and running by April 1 but this week Dudley's cabinet member for transportation, councillor Judy Foster, said: "The intention is to re-open the road 'one way' as soon as practically possible."
She said the council was still "working to establish ownership of the collapsed bank which may take some time".
West Midlands Police are believed to be responsibile for the wall, as part of an historic deal agreed when force-owned land was sold off, but a spokesman said this week: "We are currently making enquiries to determine who owns the land – it's currently believed to be unregistered."
Concerned Stourbridge resident Major Robins has slammed the situation as "dire" and is demanding swifter action be taken to get the work done and the road re-opened completely.
He said: "The council needs to take action right now and sort out who is going to pay afterwards."
Meanwhile he is also calling for buses using Cranbourne Road to be re-routed immediately and for traffic lights at Oldswinford to be re-timed to prevent long delays as buses struggle to complete the sharp left turn from Hagley Road into Glasshouse Hill.
Councillor Colin Wilson, for Pedmore and Stourbridge East, also backed calls for a swift solution but he said restoring Red Hill as a two-way street "could take up to 12 to 18 months."
No bus company representatives were available for comment.

text: Business group looks for takers for Italy trip By Megan Workman January 15, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When West Virginia businesses travel to explore exporting, they have more chances to find new clients, increase production and hire additional employees, the CEO of a Charleston economic development group said Tuesday.The Charleston Area Alliance welcomes everyone to take part in the group's trade mission trip to northern Italy in May, said Alliance CEO Matt Ballard. This is the economic, business and community development organization's fourth trade mission. The group traveled to China its first two years and different parts of Europe -- including Prague and Hungary -- last year, Ballard said.The Alliance is hosting an informational meeting today<co Wednesday> at 5:30 p.m. at a National Travel office, 164 Court St. Charleston-based National Travel is helping organize the trip."Our state has been successful in recruiting other businesses so why not travel to promote trade, specifically exports?" Ballard said. "Our staff will use our contacts and knowledge -- we use the Department of Commerce -- to set up, literally, one-on-one business meetings."The economic development group offers two options: a business tour and a cultural tour.Ballard said travelers can choose which track to take during the trip. On previous trade missions, those on the cultural tour formed relationships with people who took the business tour and "they end up doing business with each other once they're back in Charleston," Ballard said.Last spring, about 30 people took part in the Alliance-sponsored trip to Europe. Ballard said one West Virginia business owner, a hardwood manufacturer, went on the trade mission trip last year because he wants to export West Virginia hardwood in Europe. Since that trip one year ago, the business owner has made several successful contacts, Ballard said.For the fourth trip, this time to northern Italy, a retail store in downtown Charleston is going because its owners want to export their clothing line overseas, Ballard said.He said the group has picked places to travel that will benefit business owners in the state.Going to countries like Hungary make sense for businesses because "that isn't necessarily a country everyone would think of immediately and we liked that." The group traveled to Austria, too, where they met with ambassadors, he said.From the group's first trip to China -- a "particularly obvious" choice because of their economic growth, Ballard said -- the Mid-Atlantic Technology, Research and Innovation Center (MATRIC) returned with new contracts.The 20 people who took the business tour met with Chinese economic development specialists to learn about trade with China.Ballard said it is important that those interested in taking the business tour let the Charleston Area Alliance know soon so staff can start setting up meetings and researching the appropriate connections. "If businesses wanted to meet with potential buyers, we would begin right now working with you to identify companies," Ballard said. "We would reach out on your behalf to set up meetings with you. It could be 15 meetings in one day if you wanted with people interested in purchasing your product."Travelers will tour the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, which is appropriate since "we have such a strong automotive industry in West Virginia," Ballard said.Travelers will also explore northern Italy to visit the town of Como in Varese, famous for Italy's finest silk production. They will walk through Florence's "food valley" to see the production of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and tour castles and vineyards.The total cost of the trade mission is $4099 per person for Alliance members. Nonmembers have to pay an additional $300.The prices include round-trip airfare from Charleston to Italy, most meals and four-star hotel accommodations.For more information, contact Jeri Adkins at 304-340-4253 or email@example.com.

text: Not sure this is "Indiana Pacers" related enough for the main board, so I thought I'd post it here. I recently saw a hat that I really liked, but am having a hard time finding it through the usual channels (New Era, Hatworld, NBA.com). It was a fitted black cap with the outline of the state of Indiana in white and the current Pacers logo in the center of the state. The state outline kind of went from the front of the hat down on to the bill (the southern portion of the state, like from Evansville to the Ohio border. I found one somewhat similar from New Era, but is slightly different with the outline and the ABA logo. If anyone knows where to get one, I'd love to know.

A new report from Harvard Law School's Food Law and Policy Clinic and the Natural Resources Defense Council find that expiration dates on food labels do more harm than good.
According to the report, up to 90 percent of Americans are confused by these "sell by" or "use be" dates and waste around $165 million worth of food each year.
"Expiration dates are in need of some serious myth-busting because they're leading us to waste money and throw out perfectly good food, along with all of the resources that went into growing it," said Dana Gunders, NRDC staff scientist with the food and agriculture program. "Phrases like 'sell by', 'use by', and 'best before' are poorly regulated, misinterpreted and leading to a false confidence in food safety. It is time for a well-intended but wildly ineffective food date labeling system to get a makeover."
The study, "The Dating Game: How Confusing food Date Labels Lead to Food Waste in America," also found that it gives a false perception of when food is unsafe to eat and is the leading cause of wasted food.
Partly to blame is the tangled web of loose federal and state laws related to date labels, prompting researchers to recommend a national, universal food date labeling system.
"We need a standardized, commonsense date labeling system that actually provides useful information to consumers, rather than the unreliable, inconsistent and piecemeal system we have today," said Emily Broad Leib, lead author of the report and director of Harvard Law School's Food Law and Policy Clinic. "This comprehensive review provides a blueprint calling on the most influential date label enforcers – food industry actors and policymakers – to create and foster a better system that serves our health, pocketbooks and the environment."
It's no secret that food waste a big problem in the United States and across the world. A recent report from the U.N. Food and agricultural Organization shows that 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year. The waste essentially erases almost one-third of the land, water and other resources used to produce global food supplies. Read, "Food waste behind only U.S., China in carbon emissions."

Want to catch a glimpse of (one possible) future for Google's robotics efforts? Fly to Miami next week.
There, at the Homestead-Miami speedway on December 20 and 21, one of the robots Google just bought will be starring in the Robotics Challenge sponsored by the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The challenge, which is open to the public, will feature robots from 17 different teams "performing human tasks in eight simulated disaster response scenarios." The teams are looking to move forward to the Robotics Challenge Finals in 2014 where they'll compete for a $2 million prize.
Google's entrant will be Atlas, which it acquired via the purchase of Boston Dynamics, first reported early Saturday by the New York Times. Boston Dynamics is the company behind such Internet-famous robots as Big Dog, Petman, WildCat, Cheetah and Sand Flea, which together have racked up tens of millions of views on YouTube.
Google didn't disclose terms of the deal, but it marks the company's eighth robotics acquisition over the past few months. We only learned of the company's robotics efforts, led by former Android executive Andy Rubin, a couple of weeks ago when it was first announced.
Rubin hasn't disclosed what products might come from his robotics effort, but he has said that initial development won't go on for years according to the New York Times story, suggesting we'll see these robots in commercial applications in the not too distant future.
As for seeing Atlas in action, if you can't make it to Miami, you can follow it on DARPA's YouTube channel.
And here he is running over boulders:

Guess we'll have to "settle" with trying to beat 3 HOFers this time (Monday).
So, no chance we can beat the full-strength Lakers this regular season, but I'll take a win against a team with Payton, Kobe, and Shaq on it.
Malone, who was in Arkansas visiting his brother and nursing a right knee injury, was not amused. Lakers officials said Thursday they don't expect the 40-year-old Malone to be able to play until mid-to-late March.

St Helens' Samoan international forward Sia Soliola is to quit Super League at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old centre or second rower, who made his 94th appearance for the First Utility Super League leaders in their 30-28 win at Castleford on Friday night, is to take his family back to Australia and has begun the search for a new club.
"Sia has made a decision that he's going to go home at the end of this year, which is unfortunate for us," St Helens coach Nathan Brown said.
"We've known for a little while now. It's a big loss for us as a club but we're really happy for Sia. He loves it here but it's a family move."
Soliola made 92 appearances for Sydney Roosters before coming to Super League in 2010 and Brown says he will not struggle to find a new club in the NRL.
"I suggest all the clubs back home in Australia will be watching him," Brown added.
"I've already had two or three phone calls.
"He's some player is Sia and he'll be sensational for someone in Australia.
"They tell me there is a lack of quality in the market in Australia and Sia's got plenty of quality. I'm sure he will do well.
"I thought he was sensational against Castleford.
"He's a good player for us and he's only 27 so he's got another four or five years back home."
The 6ft 3in Soliola won 11 caps with New Zealand from 2006-09 before switching his allegiance to Samoa, whom he captained in the 2013 World Cup.
He also made four appearances for the Exiles in mid-season matches against England during his spell in Super League.

EDITOR'S NOTE: During the final two weeks of 2012, the Sentinel is taking a look back at the most newsworthy stories and newsmakers of the year. The series concludes today.
SANTA CRUZ -- The county saw 10 homicides in 2012 -- fewer than in recent years.
Arrests have been made in five of the killings, and a suspect is in custody on separate charges in a sixth case. For the four cases that remain unsolved, law enforcement agencies continue to ask for the public's help.
Sheriff's deputy April Skalland said investigators are seeking more information in the homicides of Nathan Connally and Rafael Cendejas.
"We believe that there are witnesses in both cases," Skalland said. "There are witnesses that are just not coming forward."
The summer slaying of 12-year-old Santa Cruz boy Joey Mendoza remains unsolved.
Mendoza, who lived near Bixby Street and San Lorenzo Boulevard, was shot in the back while walking home from playing football at a park about 8 p.m. Aug. 8. Santa Cruz police said they believe the shooter was a rival gang member, although Mendoza's family and friends denied Mendoza had gang ties.
After he was shot, witnesses saw a white van flee from Canfield Avenue and San Lorenzo Boulevard. Witnesses noted part of its license plate number.
Detectives continue to investigate, and Rick Martinez, a deputy police chief, called the case the department's "highest priority."
Authorities also have not arrested anyone in the homicide of 19-year-old Nathan Connally.
Connally was shot about 2:30 a.m. March 1 near Dover and Soquel drives in Live Oak. He stumbled to an apartment complex and died minutes later, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies released a surveillance video of Connally and another man walking near the apartment earlier in the night. The other man was not a suspect, but he was still wanted for questioning in mid-December, deputies said. Connally had previously lived at the apartment complex.
Deputy Skalland said in December investigators continued to probe the case.
"There's definitely evidence that there were other people there that we have not been able to speak to," she said.
When 42-year-old Rafael Cendejas was shot to death in April, it shook the Pinto Lake neighborhood.
Around 6 p.m. April 3, Cendejas was mowing his neighbor's lawn on Dutchman Road near Green Valley Road in unincorporated Watsonville. A man got out of a car, fired shots at him and fled in the car.
Cendejas, a father of three, was pronounced dead at the scene. He graduated from Watsonville High School and did yard work and odd jobs in the neighborhood. Family and friends said they were shocked at his killing.
"He was a hard worker. He was very smart, very intelligent," said Ana Cendejas, his younger sister.
Deputies have not said what motivated the shooting. No suspects have been arrested.
The last unsolved case in Santa Cruz County in 2012 was the killing of 32-year-old Eric Dean Garcia.
Garcia was reported missing Sept. 20 after he left a party in San Jose and never returned. On Oct. 13, a hiker found Garcia's body in the Mount Bache area of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Authorities have not said how or why he was killed, and the investigation continues.
Other cases have come closer to resolution.
Jeffrey Stephensen Smith, 28, was shot to death in his driveway on Nicasio Way in the Soquel Hills on Aug. 16, deputies said.
During a bail hearing in early September on a separate charge of drug possession, Colin Sean Tisdale, 50, was named in court as a suspect in Smith's homicide. Tisdale has not been charged in the case and authorities have not described the link between Smith and Tisdale.
Smith's widow, Amanda Sloan, also was arrested in December after a shootout on the Nicasio Way property. Sloan was wanted on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer after she allegedly fired shots out of the sunroof of a BMW she was driving during a police chase in November.
Sloan has two prior convictions for battery on a peace officer, according to court records.
Among the most jarring homicides of 2012 was the daylight stabbing of Santa Cruz shop owner Shannon Collins. It grabbed attention in part because it was an unprovoked, random attack, police said.
Collins, 38, was walking to a hairdresser's appointment May 7 when a man she did not know approached her on Broadway in Santa Cruz. The man attacked her with a knife and left her on the street, where she died, police said.
Minutes later a few blocks from the scene, police encountered Charles Anthony Edwards III. His clothes were soaked in blood. Edwards was arrested on suspicion of murder.
"It was just the misfortune of fate that she crossed paths with him," Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said at the time.
In September, a Santa Cruz County superior judge ruled Edwards was incompetent to stand trial. Edwards was moved to a mental health facility for treatment until he is restored to competency, authorities said.
The killing was chosen by Sentinel staff as the top story of the year.
Authorities also solved a drive-by shooting on the Freedom Boulevard bridge above Highway 1. It took the life of 21-year-old Fernando Martin Mendoza-Avila on May 30.
That night, deputies found a gray Honda and arrested its driver, 21-year-old Alfredo Alanis Garcia, on suspicion of homicide, commission of a crime in furtherance of a gang and use of a firearm in commission of a felony, according to records.
Christopher Herrera Bermudez, 20, and Rafael Zamora Barron, 20, also were arrested on the same charges. They all pleaded not guilty and are due in court in January.
Deputies said the three men had been smoking marijuana in Garcia's car on their way to Watsonville when they saw Mendoza-Avila and another man walking from a family gathering in Aptos.
As they drove past, they perceived that Mendoza-Avila was a rival gang member and one of the men fired rounds from a handgun, authorities said. Prosecutors have not said whether the victim was affiliated with a gang and his family denied it.
The Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information on its cases to call the investigations division at 831-454-2311 or the anonymous tipline at 831-454-5995.
Santa Cruz police ask anyone with information about that department's cases to call investigations at 831-420-5820, the anonymous tip line at 831-420-5995, or leave a tip at www.santacruzpolice.com or by the mobile application at http://m.santacruzpolice.com.
Authorities solved three other homicides during 2012.
Follow Sentinel reporter Stephen Baxter on Twitter at Twitter.com/sbaxter_sc
MARCH 1: Nathan Connally, 19, was shot about 2:30 a.m. near Dover and Soquel drives in Live Oak. He stumbled to an apartment at 2500 Soquel Drive and died there minutes later, according to sheriff's deputies. Authorities released a surveillance video that showed Connally walking with another man before the shooting. That man, who has not been identified, is not a suspect in the case. Deputies have not said what motivated the shooting. No one has been arrested. Connally lived in Santa Cruz.
MARCH 31: Brandon Gil, 21, fought with 43-year-old Frank Garcia outside a sports bar on the 500 block of Main Street in Watsonville. Garcia, Gil and Gil's friend, Ricardo Flores, were stabbed. Gil died in a hospital hours later. Watsonville police said in May that Gil initiated the attack on Garcia and the District Attorney's Office ruled it 'justifiable homicide'. Prosecutors filed no charges.
APRIL 3: Rafael Cendejas, 42, was shot around 6 p.m. as he was mowing his neighbor's lawn outside Watsonville in the Pinto Lake neighborhood. A man got out of a car, fired shots at him and fled in the car. Cendejas was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sheriff's Office has not said what motivated the shooting. No suspects have been arrested.
MAY 7: Shannon Kathleen Collins, 38, owner of Camouflage on Pacific Avenue was stabbed to death on the 300 block of Broadway in Santa Cruz about 11:50 a.m. After neighbors called 911, Charles Anthony Edwards III was arrested on suspicion of homicide a few blocks from the scene. Edwards was wearing bloody clothing. A knife was found at the scene. Edwards, 43, is a convicted felon from San Francisco. Police said Collins and Edwards did not know each other. Authorities called the attack random and unprovoked and have not elaborated on the motive.
MAY 30: Fernando Martin Mendoza-Avila was killed in a drive-by shooting while walking on the Freedom Boulevard overpass at Highway 1 just after 6 p.m. The 21-year-old was shot several times. Deputies found a gray Honda later that night in Watsonville and arrested its driver, Alfredo Alanis Garcia, 21, of Prunedale on suspicion of homicide, commission of a crime in furtherance of a gang and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Two other men, Christopher Herrera Bermudez, 20, of Las Lomas, and Rafael Zamora Barron, 20, of Watsonville, were arrested the next day. All three have pleaded not guilty and face a preliminary hearing in December.
JULY 25: Dominic Mower, 37, was shot several times inside his home on Prospect Street at Madison Street in Watsonville about 3 a.m. A 22-year-old woman also in the home was shot several times and is expected to recover. A day after the shooting, police arrested Michael Neal Miller, 34, of Watsonville.
AUG. 8: A 13-year-old boy, Joey Mendoza, whom police describe as a documented gang member, was shot and killed on the 100 block of San Lorenzo Boulevard in Santa Cruz just after 8 p.m. Police have little information on what motivated the shooting. The teen was shot twice in the back and pronounced dead at the scene.
AUG. 16: A 28-year-old Soquel man, Jeff Smith, was found shot to death outside his mother-in-law's Soquel Hills home. Deputies have not said what the motive but ruled out robbery and gang activity. No one has been charged with his death.
OCT. 13: Eric Dean Garcia, a 32-year-old Saratoga man who was reported missing Sept. 20, was found dead in the Santa Cruz Mountains. A hiker found Garcia in the Mount Bache area, Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies said. Authorities said the death was a homicide but have not said how or why he was killed.
NOV. 17: Charles Robert Powers, 51, was found dead near the railroad tracks behind Depot Park. Jeremiah James Long, 26; Michael Valgene Hudson, 41; Shaelyn Zeanne Gonzales, 21; Jason Michael Weiland, 31; and Tina Anderson, 43, have been arrested on suspicion murder and conspiracy. Powers, a transient, was killed by blunt force trauma to the head, according to the County Coroner. Authorities have not yet discussed the motive.

CITY Motor Holdings, based in Basingstoke, has purchased a Peugeot dealership in Newbury as the company continues to go from strength to strength.
The car dealership group, which is headquartered at its six-acre Autoplaza, just off the Houndmills Roundabout, has acquired Marshall's and rebranded it as City Peugeot. The business, pictured, sits alongside the group's Gowrings Ford showroom, in Pinchington Lane.
This latest venture means the company now has 12 dealerships in its portfolio, and managing director Steve Hemlock said there are further expansion plans in the pipeline.
He added that the deal cements the plans to create three multi-franchise Autoplaza sites in Basingstoke, Newbury and Reading.
Mr Hemlock, who has been in the motor trade for 45 years, said: "We've got a lot of expansion on the cards, all planned for completion by the end of 2014. There will be some revamping of existing premises, and we're also working on some new ones due to launch in 2015.
"We will expand with franchises we're comfortable with in an area we like, and as a financially strong company, we're always looking at other opportunities."
In just 18 months, the company has moved into the AM Top 75 of Automotive Groups, following a management buy-out deal in December 2012, which was helped by investors RCapital.
Mr Hemlock said the company continues to go from strength to strength, increasing its workforce from 220 to 310.
City Peugeot is a Guild of Gold Lion Award dealer, an accolade awarded to just 25 Peugeot dealers in the UK offering outstanding customer service.
Mr Hemlock plans to hold an official opening ceremony. However, in the meantime, it is business as usual at the Newbury dealership where City Peugeot will be offering new and used cars and vans, as well as servicing and MOTs, plus selling parts and accessories.

London, United Kingdom
Parking is one of the biggest problems faced by major cities worldwide, and JustPark (formerly ParkatmyHouse.com) is solving it. We provide drivers with cheap, parking ticket-free parking with the convenience of a space waiting for them on arrival. We're cutting the 20% of car pollution that is caused by circling (IBM) by letting people navigate directly to their parking space. We're also behind the world's largest P2P electric vehicle charging programme, ChargeatmyHouse. Smart, simple, green - and growing like crazy. JustPark has over half a million customers in the UK and is backed by BMW.

New Beachfront Restaurant In San Diego
Chef Amy DiBiase's highly anticipated new beachfront restaurant in San Diego, Tidal, will launch on April 10 on the west shore of Paradise Point Resort & Spa's 44-acre island. Set in what was once a private home in the 1960s, the new 3,000-sq. ft. restaurant will offer panoramic waterfront dining on San Diego's Mission Bay.
Offering a menu where "craft and catch" converge, Tidal features a thoughtfully curated selection of local seafood, seasonal ingredients and craft beverages in a laid-back bayside setting. Known for putting a Mediterranean twist on California Coastal cuisine, Chef Amy's creations will be anchored by deep French and Italian influences that result in light, modern adaptations of traditional seafood dishes. Highlights of this San Diego beachfront restaurant will include ricotta gnudi, chicken confit and olive oil poached halibut.
Drawing inspiration from the ever changing tides, the menu will evolve at Mother Nature's whim using only seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Tidal will also be home to a carefully culled collection of oysters, cheeses and small-production beverages coordinated by Chef Kyle Bergman.
Tidal will serve dinner seven days a week at its Mission Bay beachfront restaurant location; parking is complimentary. For more information, follow Tidal at www.facebook.com/TidalSD, or on Twitter or Instagram at @Tidal_SD.

Guard Derek Fisher's signing Monday with the championship-contending Oklahoma City Thunder didn't sit well with the team he left in December, the scuffling Dallas Mavericks, NBA.com reported, citing an unidentified league source.
Fisher signed with the Mavs in late November but then asked for and received his release Dec. 22, he said in a statement at the time, so he could spend more time with his family, though he was hobbled by a strained tendon in his knee, too.
Fisher went through his first practice Tuesday with the Thunder after signing with Oklahoma City for the stretch run for the second straight season.
Fisher says he's "not planning on retiring at the end of the season," but his family agreed that he deserved the opportunity to play with the Thunder in case this ends up being his last chance.
Coach Scott Brooks wouldn't say if Fisher will be activated for tonight's game against New Orleans.
So how do the Mavs feel about his return to OKC?
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban initially did not reply to multiple emails from NBA.com, but the website's league source said the best way to describe the mood of the Mavs' front office is "agitated."
Cuban then broke his silence before the Mavs' home loss Tuesday to the Bucks, NBA.com reported. "Look, I understand, completely," he said. "From the time Derek was here to him signing with OKC, his kids are older, so they can deal with things better. So I understand him having more comfort in being away from them."
The website noted that Cuban, obviously, made the comment as a tongue-in-cheek dig at Fisher, given that Fisher signed with the Thunder only two months after Dallas agreed to release him from his contract.
But the Mavs organization wasn't laughing when it learned of the 17-year veteran's move.
NBA.com's source said that Fisher, 38, and his representatives never contacted the Mavs during his decision-making process to discuss a possible return to the team that signed him Nov. 29 when no other was interested in him.
The Mavs (25-31), 5 games out of the West's No. 8 spot, are trying to make a playoff push but are relying on inconsistent Darren Collison and 37-year-old D-League call-up Mike James to run the point. Fisher was a part of five NBA championship teams with the Los Angeles Lakers.
There has been some speculation that Fisher signed with the Mavericks primarily so he could remain eligible to be president of the players' union, a position in which he helped forge the ouster of executive director Billy Hunter during the recent All-Star break.

WOW - GREAT CONDITIONERAfter reading great reviews I tried this a few days ago. My hair is colored, thin and wavy. Usually, with any conditioner, if I let my hair dry naturally, the first day it's fluffy - ready frizzy, and out of control. I used a nickle size of this, left it on my hair a few minutes while I did over shower duties. My hair dried naturally and the difference was remarkable.

Best Drugstore Conditioner!I have tried Pantene, Garnier, and Herbal Essences and none of them made my hair feel so soft and manageable like Sunsilk does. After one wash with even the shampoo, I could tell the difference. Before my hair was just very dry, and now it's soft, shiny, and it does prevent split ends.

Twins being cautious with top prospect Buxton
CLEVELAND -- Top prospect Byron Buxton remains sidelined with a sprained left wrist sustained in a Minor League Spring Training game on March 16, but he could start baseball activities by mid-to-late next week.
Buxton, ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect by MLB.com, hasn't swung the bat yet, as he's still resting his wrist. He originally hurt it while diving for a ball in center field.
"He's still kind of in a holding pattern," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "I talked to the doctor when I left [Spring Training on March 29], and he said it was going to be 10 days [of rest]. But he did say he's making improvements."
There's still no official timeline for Buxton's return to action at Double-A New Britain, because the Twins are being cautious with him.
"We don't want this to linger through the whole season," Antony said.

So I found these at a thrift store. Lady thought they were trash and had them outside, probably too dirty for her store. And to my surprise, after i bought them, I rinsed em in water to remove the loose rust and there was gold in them. The molds made 260 oz and 700 oz gold bars and one says BRAUN 700oz G 375 oz S and the other says F.W. Braun 140oz S 260oz g. I am curious if anyone would know anything about the company name on these.

|How is the bivy atop P3? Is it better to carry a portaledge?
By Kevin Frederick
From: Lusaka, ZM
Jul 10, 2002
|I did this a few (4?) years ago. Indeed, it went clean even for an unimaginative aid climber as myself. We bivied on the top of the Green Pillar -- I think there was enough room to bivy comfortably. I can't say for sure because we set up the ledge+fly anyway due to the intermittent hosing from snowmelt above. We also added two 3/8" SS bolts (total) at the fixed belays: one at a belay 1-2 pitches below Table Ledge (table roof) and another at the belay at Table Ledge. (Some have criticized these two bolts; some have thanked.)
By Anonymous Coward
Sep 1, 2002
|If you need a ledge or not just depends on how you want to do the route. Top of green pillar is a good bivi for one and ok for two but you are only 3 pitches off the ground and just at the beginning of the aid climbing. If you want to split the route over two days more even, you need a ledge. Those added bolts for belays weren't nessary. The belays where a little tricky but that's just part of the climb.

|Amazing line. Some beta for the faint of heart. After schlepping our "too scared to aid clean" insurance policy through the Boulderfield to the Chasm View raps and beyond, my partner led the aid crux (and all of the harder aid for that matter, as I was the alleged free climbing gun), totally clean with camhooks at what he felt to be straightforward C2+. I believe we had 1 small and 2 medium camhooks. We never found a need for ballnuts either. Triple set of HB offsets was mighty plush and I think one would be just fine with 2 sets total. Lots of nutting overall though. We took a #5 Camalot up there for some supposed wideness and never really found a necessary use for it. P2 and 3 go as one with a 60m. Last pitch was wet and we were glad to share a pair of crampons for the descent. Word is this thing went free at around .13 something last summer, but don't quote me.

|Adam's mistaken, the route was not free climbed in 2009. The first free ascent took place on Saturday, July 23, 2011. The crux is a long pitch off the top of the Green Pillar, which I feel is .13b-ish. But there are also four more 5.12 pitches above, the last two being especially wet and tricky. The best free route I've done on the Diamond (although I can't speak to the quality of the Honeymoon). Big thanks to Pete Takeda, and Andy Donson for their vision to see this climb as a free route, and for placing the critical bolts for the free variation on the crux pitch. I will try to post details, and a topo of the route in the coming weeks. Cheers!

Was TC working the upper pitches Aug. '12 [white rope tossed from above]?
I was on it, looking to rope-solo the route, when rope damage (hauling) didn't let me get past the first pitch. -frown-
Scared the s**t out of me hearing something coming down from above with a loud CRACK! That was a lot of rope tossed over ending at the top of the pillar. Just curious.

Mauer to face live pitching this week
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins first baseman Joe Mauer is slated to start taking batting practice in the cages on Monday before progressing to hitting on the field on Wednesday.
Mauer, who has been on 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique since July 2, has been taking soft toss in the cages but will progress to hitting live pitching for the first time on Monday.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said it's a big step for Mauer, who could start a rehab assignment while the team is on the road next weekend.
"By the time we get back from this road trip, he'll be on a rehab assignment," Gardenhire said. "That's the hope. If everything goes good and he's feeling good we'll get him on a rehab by the time we get back. And by the next week he'll be ready to play for us."

Heyward in 'good spirits' after smooth appendectomy
DENVER -- On a snow-induced off-day Monday, Braves right fielder Jason Heyward went into Rose Medical Center in Denver and onto the disabled list following a successful appendectomy.
"Everything went well," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Dr. [Joe] Chandler was here, our doctor, and he did a terrific job. The doctors from the Rockies helped out. They got him into the hospital, did all the checkups -- it was the appendicitis thing -- and they got him in and got him out in about 45 minutes."
Heyward had been feeling poorly since the weekend series in Pittsburgh, going 0-for-3 in Saturday's loss and sitting out Sunday's series finale with stomach pain.
"A couple days ago in Pittsburgh, he felt like he had a stomach virus going, and then it just kept getting more localized, moving to the right side of the body," Gonzalez said Tuesday morning. "Yesterday he called our trainer and sad, 'Boy, this really hurts.' Joe Chandler, our team doctor, saw him a few times during the course of the morning and early afternoon yesterday, and they just decided to look at the CAT scan and the blood work just to be sure that's what it was, and it was. Those procedures, if you get them before they rupture, you're in good shape."
The snow day may have helped the Braves to an extent, as Heyward likely wouldn't have been available Monday, even without the surgery. The day's delay allowed the Braves to bring infielder Tyler Pastornicky up from Triple-A in time for Tuesday's first game of a day-night doubleheader, giving them a full roster.
"We got back [to the hotel] around 5 after the game got called," Gonzalez said, explaining the timeline of the events leading up to Heyward's surgery. "Some of the guys stayed here and hit. I was going into the lobby at 5, and he and the doctor were leaving. He left the lobby, and he had surgery. Boy, it couldn't have been more than three, three-and-a-half, four hours.
"I spoke to him just before he went in, and he said, 'Skip, they're rolling me in.' And lo and behold, 45 minutes later, Doc Chandler called me and said, 'He's out, he's recovering.' Wow! If they catch it early enough, it's arthroscopic, three little holes. Get it out of there and it's not an issue. If it erupts, that's when it becomes a real big issue."
Heyward was put on the disabled list retroactive to Sunday, making him eligible to come off May 6 in Cincinnati. Catching the appendicitis before it progressed to rupture should lead to a timely return. There are cases of players coming back from appendectomies in six and nine days without going on the DL, but the Braves prefer to give him ample recovery time without rushing him.
"I saw him this morning," Gonzalez said. "I got up early and went over there and spent about 20 minutes with him. He's in good spirits. Beat up, as you would expect a little bit from the surgery, just getting drained a little bit, but give him a couple weeks and he should be ready to go."
Heyward has struggled at the plate in April, hitting .121 (7-for-58) with a pair of homers and five RBIs.
Gonzalez said he expects Heyward to be released from the hospital sometime Tuesday, and he should fly home to Atlanta in the next few days, whenever the doctors say he's ready to fly.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Yale swept the Ivy League
major postseason women's volleyball awards, as sophomore setter
Kendall Polan (Cardiff, Calif.) was named Player
of the Year and freshman outside hitter Mollie
Rogers (San Diego) was selected Rookie of the Year by the
League's eight head coaches.
It marks the third time in program history that the Bulldogs received both awards and the first time since 1993, when Pauline Mu was named Co-Player of the Year and Leigh Brezler was named Rookie of the Year.
Polan's award is her second-consecutive Ivy League major postseason honor as she was named Rookie of the Year last season. She is the first Bulldog to receive Player of the Year honors since Cat Daily in 2008. In 2011, Polan was unanimously voted first-team All-Ivy, marking the second-straight year she was named to the first team. She started all 24 matches for the Ivy League Champion Bulldogs, finishing with 100 kills, 943 assists, 25 aces, 299 digs, 33 blocks and zero reception errors. The sophomore set career-bests in assists, aces and blocks and led the League and ranked 46th nationally in assists. She was a two-time Ivy League Player of the Week (Sept. 6 and Oct. 4).
Rogers was a unanimous decision for Ivy League Rookie of the Year to give Yale back-to-back Rookie of the Year awards. The San Diego native was a League-high four-time Rookie of the Week recipient (Sept. 13, Sept. 20, Oct. 25 and Nov. 15). She led the Bulldogs with 267 kills and finished second on the squad with 286 digs. She also contributed 34 blocks, 26 assists and 19 aces. She finished the regular season ranked fourth in the League in points and sixth in kills per set. She was also a unanimous decision for first-team All-Ivy.
Besides Polan and Rogers, the All-Ivy first team included two other unanimous decisions, both from Princeton. Junior outside hitter Lydia Rudnick (Encinitas, Calif.) and senior middle blocker Cathryn Quinn (Pacific Palisades, Calif.) each were named first team for the second-straight year. Rudnick led the League and ranked 68th nationally in kills per set and ranked 65th nationally in points per set. Quinn finished second in the League in total kills with a personal-best 339.
Columbia junior outside hitter Megan Gaughn (Winter Park, Fla.), Dartmouth senior outside hitter Madeline Baird (Austin, Texas) and Penn sophomore libero Dani Shepherd (Los Angeles) rounded out the rest of the first team. Gaughn earned her third-consecutive All-Ivy honor while being named to the first team for the second-straight season. She led the Lions in kills (298) and aces (24) and finished third on the team in digs (266). Baird was a two-time League Player of the Week (Sept. 13; Oct. 25) and led the League in total kills with 344. She earned her fourth-straight All-Ivy honor. Shepherd received her first All-Ivy award after leading the conference and ranking third in the country in digs per set, averaging 6.2.

'What is ironic about Campbell's aberrational physicality — he had only 16 penalty minutes in 79 games this season — is that he is the kind of player who has benefited the most from the NHL's crackdown on the clutching and grabbing and cheap-shoting that once plagued the sport. With more room to operate in "the new NHL" Campbell scored 12 goals and 44 points this year after scoring just nine goals and 41 points in his previous 2 1/2 seasons with the team. "The new NHL is made for guys like Brian," said Miller. "He can get wound up and he can really set up the attack. It's like a point guard in basketball, a good skating defenseman like that."'

Acquisitions Highlight
Some of these individuals are on one of our two Acquisitions Committees, while others assist us independently. One such person is Rebecca Hunt, a history instructor at CU-Denver and one of our biggest supporters. Rebecca never misses an opportunity to send her students to our department to do research in our collections, and she keeps her eyes open for collections that may be a good fit for us.
Recently, Rebecca called me about a man named Wally Ginn. Wally, a retired educator, has had a deep impact on schools and students not only in Denver, but around the world. He spent 24 years teaching abroad in England and Germany before returning to Colorado in 1989, at which time his father, Carl Ginn (a Denver Public Schools educator for 42 years and North High alumnus), urged him to join the North High School Alumni Association. Shortly thereafter, Wally became the group's historian.
Wally recently moved out of the home built by his father to enter an assisted living facility and, being a lover of history and superb chronicler of events, requested that his papers come to DPL. Wally kept original papers, clippings, and photographs pertaining to North High, his 100-year-old home and the Highlands neighborhood, Denver Public Schools, and his genealogy. Those papers are now part of our Archives Collection and will be tremendous asset to our researchers.
I would be remiss if I didn't also thank Hod and Sally Hutson, who worked with Rebecca to find homes for Wally's belongings, and Jamie Seemiller on our staff who also brought the collection to my attention.
For more information about Wally Ginn, visit http://m.rockymountainnews.com/news/2005/Jan/24/bgriegob-high-school-is-a-refresher-for-north/

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ohio is bracing for a superstorm threatening some 50 million people from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
The National Weather Service warned people living in low-lying areas and along the Lake Erie shoreline to watch for flooding early in the week.
High wind warnings for gusts up to 65 mph have been posted across parts of Ohio, threatening utility lines and trees. Rain is forecast through mid-week.
Hurricane Sandy is headed north from the Caribbean toward the mid-Atlantic coast and a collision with a wintry storm moving from the west.
Electric utilities that make up the East Coast operating areas of Ohio-based FirstEnergy Corp. are preparing for the storm. Akron-based FirstEnergy, with six million customers in six states, asked customers to take all necessary precautions.
