I'm wondering if there is a difference between disc selection for beginners who are committed to continuing playing and self improvement, and beginners who have only a casual interest but who might be more serious if they see that they have some ability from the start.
My thinking is as follows. For a beginner committed to improvement, it may make sense to start with discs of more moderate weights (i.e. along the lines of the weights mentioned in Blake's "Choosing the Right Golf Disc" article). This way they'll be accustomed to throwing discs of the weight that ultimately they will learn how to throw.
For a beginner who only has casual interest, wouldn't it make sense to start with 150-class discs? It seems to me that this will minimize frustration, and give them the best first-impression of the sport.

subset: commoncrawl

I've got 40 discs I want to sell all at once. It's a mystery box. There are D drivers, Fairways, Mids, and Putters. Mostly Star/Champ or equivalent except on putters and they are mid grade plastic. Most are 8/10 to new and 170+.
There are quite a few 1st/early run/special discs as well.
So 40 discs for 300 shipped. That's only 7.50 a disc and the majority of the discs are worth way more than that.

Hello sim folks,
I have moved on to take an exciting new job at Maine Medical Center as the Chief Simulation Specialist. So I won't be providing my progress updates and blogs for the University of New England anymore. UNE is commited to continuing the blog in some capacity and there will be an announcement of some sort so you can keep up as usual.
I will also be starting a new Maine Medical simulation blog about the new simulation center's progress and implementation plan. It should be pretty interesting and informative as it is a very complex and overarching project with a ton of technology, infrastructure and architectural highlights.
Thanks to all of you who have checked out the robotodd posts these past two and a half years. I appreciate your comments and your attention to this growing field of experiential learning.
See you soon as a new sim blogger!

Memorial Hall is the home to a portion of our male resident students, freshmen through seniors. Most rooms are double occupancy, though some singles may be available to upperclass students through a lottery system. A Resident Assistant is assigned to each floor. These Resident Assistants report to a Resident Director, a male member of the Student Development Office staff who resides in an apartment on the first floor.
The "Underground Lounge," located in the basement of Memorial Hall, is a large common area where male and female students can meet during non-open house hours.

A Ben Rhydding man will be signing copies of his new book at Ilkley's Tesco supermarket on Saturday.
The Sixth Pillar is the fourth novel by Alan Reynolds (pictured) to be published by local publishers Fisher King Publishing.
The start of the book follows an SAS patrol on a seek and destroy mission just before the start of the first Gulf War.
They are sent into southern Iraq looking for Scud missile launchers which at the time were causing havoc in the Middle East. They stumble across a village which seems deserted but of course all is not what it seems and sure enough they find two hidden missile launchers.
In the inevitable fire fight, buildings are destroyed and as the dust settles a lonely figure of a five-year-old boy appears covered in dust. The book is his story as he pursues his destiny to become a martyr.
It also follows the leader of the SAS raid and what happens to him when he leaves the army. He struggles to come to terms with civilian life and finds respite in the solitude of an oil and gas rig in the North Sea.
There is an explosive ending as the security services try to prevent a catastrophe.
Following a free download promotion, the book hit number 1 in the military category of Amazon's free download chart, and was 196th of all free downloads.
Mr Reynolds says there has been interest in the book all over the world and a radio presenter is reading extracts from the book in his weekly radio show in Idaho in the USA this week. He will be signing copies of his book at the store, on Springs Lane, from 11am to 2pm.

A new discussion board experience is coming this September!
After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
Woman told police she ended man's suffering
Eli, yikes! I take Novolog and NEVER take over 10 - 12 units before each meal. I can't even imagine 300 units. Then to have our CC linked to that! Too bad, so sad.
Wow, so sad.
Hi, Eli and everyone,
As both a patient and in the medical field and saw my sis-in-law passed away during the last 5 days of her life with CCA ; talking to her and her husband about treatment from diagnosis to the passage to heaven;,from hospital to hospice care. I can truly understand from both sides of the coin about this disease and saw the limit of what the current medical advance can do for this disease, including clinical trial) .In short it is not that much. I don't blame the caregiver and I, as a patient, will not encourage it either but should give a clear direction to the caregiver about her/his wishes in the event that the time has come.
Either you are a patient or a caregiver, we have to know about how little we can do,and we have to accept what the outcome will be after trying our best to research,to seek, and make the best judgement base on the findings . In doing so, we we will have no regret. But if we just sit and wait for the " magic bullet" to come, I am sure it will not arrive sooner that you expected.
I am currently research on the criteria for using "Natural history" of patients as an entry point to speed up the drug development and I will make a list to post on the board ,and when it comes out, please fill it out . This what Marion mentioned before, it is proposed by NIH/FDA and will be accepted as one of the pathway to get patient input and influence for new drug development on efficacy and drug adverse action. And this is one of the way all of you can participate.
Thanks in advance.
God bless.
There is much more to this story, I'm sure. This is actually in my area of New Hampshire. He was surrounded by family at home in his final hours. I believe she linked the foundation as a place for donations to go in lieu of flowers, as she knew that The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation would put it to good use with the hopes of helping others with research and advocacy. Her brother-in-law was suffering. I don't condone what she did, but I won't criticize her either, as none of us know what conversations or wishes happened within the family. A tragic story. Rest in peace, Randall.
I don't think there is any room for judgement in regards to this story. I don't believe human suffering at the end of life should be something we just accept. I do feel that if one has a terminal illness, they should be able to chose the time of their passing. I hope Randall rests in peace.
Daughternlaw, I agree.
To be clear, I wasn't trying to pass a judgement when I posted the story.
DIL and ELI, I so agree. Teddy and I had a very bad experience as his last 3 days were in a Hospice Facility. I had him pain free when he entered as he was on mega Morphine. When I checked him in I told the Nurse that once in a while his back would get sore and I just gave him Tylenol for that. She said, "Oh I can't do that, it will hurt his liver". WHAT? He was passing. 2 other head Nurses replied the same thing. Then the day he passed, until he started shutting down, I wished that I had brought his Morphine from home as I discovered they had not been giving him anything! I would have given him what ever it took! Needless to say the 3 Head Nurses were fired and I got an attorney. But I really don't think any of us know what we would be capable of doing until the time would come. This is also why I tell people that eventually the good memories take over the bad ones....been there done that and it is true. No judgements from this corner.
As a patient, I can sympathise with the nurse. While I was in the hospital recovering from surgery due to an abscess I was so tired of being in so much pain, I wished for a shot to put me out of my misery. Thankfully I recovered and am so glad I survived that whole ordeal.

The draft came and went, as did the summer league(s) and it doesn't look like the Thunder's going to do anything in free agency. And there's over three months until the season starts. So what am I supposed to do with myself? Watch the WNBA? Yeah and after that I'll stare at the sun for two hours. Don't fret, I've got ideas to get you through the actual offseason.
Watch baseball. It's not everybody's thing, but I dig it. It's more than enough to keep me occupied for now, especially because there's a game every day and I have a favorite team. And if you hate baseball, I guess watch soccer or something. Or go live in Europe because obviously you hate America. Why don't you kick a baby and curse the name of Stephen Colbert on your way out too.
Read every college football preview on the planet. As much as we all love the Thunder, this is still a college football state. And it probably will always be unless John Blake comes back for Round 2. There's something like 2 billion college football preview magazines and they're all saying basically the exact same thing. So do yourself a favor and read every single one of them. I know you're dying to know what Phil Steele has to say about the TCU secondary. Don't pretend like you're not.
Likewise, complain about the BCS. I actually am a fan of it, but evidently to hold your college football fan card, you must spend at least 15 minutes of your day whining about it and talking about how perfect and wonderful a playoff would be. The more you gripe to your roommate about it, the faster it will get fixed. I think we're using the same approach for the economy.
Try out for the Thunder girls. What's that? Only girls are allowed to try out? Sexist pigs. Oh well, their loss. I have some awesome moves and look excellent in a cutoff jean shorts and an open plaid blouse. The finals are tonight at Toby Keith's so if you're weird and creepy, be sure to go there and "watch."
Work on your post game. With OKC's best option on the block being either Nick Collison or Shaun Livingston (yes, seriously, Shaun Livingston), you never know. Especially if you're freakishly tall. You could wind up with a roster spot. Hey, it worked for Robert Swift.
Worry about what Brett Favre will do. It's a story that has gripped the nation for the last, what, 10 years? So fulfill your duty as an American sports fan and watch ESPN all day waiting for an update from Ed Werder or Chris Mortensen letting us know what Favre's decision is. Brett ran sprints with high schoolers in Mississippi? Now he's eating lunch with former Viking great Kailee Wong? He read a story about Leif Ericson yesterday? I need to know these things. They could hint what Favre's doing one way or the other. I couldn't sleep last night I was thinking about it so much.
Go to a Redhawks game. Minor league baseball is kind of like a decent movie on AMC on a Saturday afternoon. It makes for good background noise while you have a conversation with another person. It's an easy date, but also something different than going to see yet another movie about a comic book or old school toy. I can't honestly name you one player player on the team (is Bobby Jones still the coach?), but it's not like it matters. It's about being outside, having a hot dog, watching a ball game and the sunburn you'll assuredly get.
Get inexplicably hooked to some lame reality show. They're like tobacco. You think it's harmless channel surfing and you don't consider for a second you'll be coming back after the show you're watching is off commercials, but there you are four hours later having just watched eight episodes of Daisy of Love. It's the worst television programming in the history of everything, but it hooked you and you don't have a clue why. So when you're 10 episodes in to some Real World challenge show, just know, you're only wasting time until the season starts. That's all. It's actually a good thing.
Drive up and down I-35 and get stuck in traffic for two hours for no effing reason. Oh, you'll do this anyway. Seriously, can someone, anyone, explain why there has to be road construction on this wonderful stretch of highway for the rest of eternity? Didn't they JUST fix it like three months ago. What gives? Did they hold a monster truck rally on it or something?
Argue with Jim Traber about everything, without calling in. I've never called in to the Sports Animal, just because I don't think I forgive myself for actually falling so low to argue with Traber on the radio. Plus, I've always talked a big game about taking him to school about various things but I'm scared that as soon as he drops a "You're an absolute FOOL!" on me and goes straight into I'm-yelling-over-you-so-that-you-can't-ever-make-your-point mode, that I'd wilt like Tom Watson at Turnberry. So instead, I gripe at my radio as I sit alone in my truck in I-35 traffic.
Read a book. What book you ask? Well, how about David Halberstam's The Breaks of the Game or one that I hold dear to my heart, the dictionary. Or you could read a wonderful book written by frequent commenter J.G. It's better than most of his posts, so that's saying something.
Read every post game recap I wrote last year. Some will blow your mind. Some will make you cry. Some will make you stand and cheer. (This sounds like the voice-over to a crappy sports movie.) All they wanted was a chance to play. And they got it in the most improbable way possible. It's a story about heartbreak, joy and celebration. But mostly heartbreak. Royce Young's, The Thunder Years.
Go on a hunger strike until opening night. Ok, so that's roughly only 100 days and think of how good you'll look for opening night. Plus that sort of dedication is not to be overlooked. I'm sure Buffalo Wild Wings will hook you up with some boneless Caribbean Jerk wings before the first game anyway.
Prep for your fantasy football draft. I don't play, but my older brother does and let me tell you, he's been preparing and studying since April. He may be the only person on earth that not only knows who Glenn Martinez is, but also how many yards per catch he averaged last year. I don't even think Glenn's parents know that.
Start scouting prospects for the 2018 NBA draft. Hey, with how things are going now, it's not that crazy. Well it is crazy, but people are doing it anyway. There are rankings for this sort of thing, which disturbs me more than "Half Man, Half Tree" on TLC. How could anyone possibly evaluate a 10-year-old kid? I wonder what my scouting report was. Really short, like 5'1″ short. Extremely skinny. Forgets that he's playing basketball sometimes. More focused on his post game "suicide" than the actual game. Shot looks like he's heaving a bag of cement onto a rooftop. Can dribble it three times consecutively, max. Doesn't even know he has a left hand. Averages 10-15 turnovers a game. Complains about teammate Andy being a ballhog. But yet, there are actual scouting and recruiting services ranking these kids. Sigh.
Anyway, the season will get here sooner than you think. Just hang in there. Before you know it, it'll be October 29th and you'll forget all about having to read that book. Or if you went on the hunger strike, you can eat.
Also, some key dates to keep you occupied:
July 23-25: Team USA mini-camps. Oklahoma City makes up 13 percent of the roster with Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green and Kevin Durant all participating. Durant is almost a lock to make the 2012 London team, but Westbrook and Green could impress some folks.
Mid-August: 2009-10 NBA schedule comes out. It will at least give us something to talk about.
All of August: Awesome things I'll write. Don't worry, I'm going into the depths of my brain to come up with interesting crap to come here and read.
September 7-20: Eurobasket 2009 in Poland. So no Thundermen will be on any of the rosters, but it's a chance to watch some basketball.
September 30: Training camp starts. It'll be our first good look at the new and improved roster and about that time all sorts of NBA previews will begin to roll out.
October 7-25: Preseason basketball. The preseason schedule isn't out yet, but the games will fall between these dates. We already know Oklahoma City will be playing the Spurs in Austin, but not much else.
October 28: The first game of the 2009-10 NBA season. Again, we won't know if OKC is actually playing this night or when opening night is until the schedule is out, but this will be the night that it all starts. And then we'll have seven months of basketball to watch. But if things go better than expected, we'll have more.

PERSHORE Town's first of three consecutive away games against teams near the bottom of the Midland Combination Premier Division ended with a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Racing Club Warwick on a poor pitch.
Despite creating several good chances, the visitors were wasteful in front of goal and conceded in the 55th and 85th minutes to Jamie Corrigan and Ryan Langmead respectively.
Pershore visit Pilkington on Tuesday night (7.45pm).

Topic: Hospice Care Network - NY
My mom passed away on June 26 after a short but complcated fight with cholangiocarcinoma.
We were able to bring her to the Hospice Inn, a subdivision of the Hospice Care Network here on Long Island. Short of her being at home, this was the absolute best place we could have been. The people were amazing, and my family was made to feel comfortable. It was definately the kind of care that my mom deserved.
If you live on Long Island or Queens and think you will need this type of service for yourself or someone you're helping to care for, I strongly urge you to look into this facility. Their web site is: http://www.hospicecarenetwork.org/index2.html.

Two Paradise residents were arrested on Friday afternoon in association with a white four door sedan that was reported stolen that morning.
Robert McDonald, 31, was arrested on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, misdemeanor evading a police officer and driving with a suspended license, Sgt. Rob Nichols said. His girlfriend Sarah McCarty, 29, was in the passenger seat of the vehicle and was arrested on charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Officer Robert Wright allegedly saw a vehicle matching the description of a stolen vehicle on Bille Road that turned down Sawmill Road, Nichols said.
"He proceeded to follow and at the vehicle started driving pretty quickly," Nichols said. "At this point the officer hadn't lit the car up yet, but once they turned onto Maybell, the car was trying to evade him."
When the license plate came back as a stolen vehicle, Wright initiated a traffic stop, and McDonald allegedly complied. Since Wright didn't have back up at the time of the stop, it is common practice for Paradise Police Officers to draw their guns for high-risk vehicle stops.
"Essentially when he is the only officer, we stop the vehicle, tell everybody in the car that the vehicle was reported stolen and you are not to move, officers draw their guns until help arrives, and at that point we pull people out of the car and get them handcuffed," Nichols said. "We never know what we are walking into."
The suspects allegedly knew a family member of the registered vehicle owner, Nichols said.
The arrest was made at the corner of Fox and Hazel in Paradise. Both McDonald and McCarty were taken to Butte County Jail to be booked into custody.

Playoff Prospectus
World Series Game Two Preview: Cardinals at Red Sox
Cardinals (Michael Wacha) vs. Red Sox (John Lackey) – 8:07 p.m. EST
PECOTA Odds of Winning: Cardinals 58%, Red Sox 42%
Projected Starting Lineups:
Game One went about as well as it possibly could have for the Red Sox, and as poorly as it could have for the Cardinals.
Sure, David Ortiz's third-inning blast could've landed in the bullpen instead of in Carlos Beltran's glove. But given that Beltran's catch may cost him some time—and given that Boston won by a margin of seven runs anyway—even the lone bright spot for St. Louis yesterday looks like it could play in the Red Sox' favor.
Fortunately for the Cardinals, their hottest pitcher takes the mound in Game Two in one Michael Wacha.
You're probably vaguely familiar with the stats by now. Wacha has thrown 21 innings in the postseason thus far, giving up just one earned run and striking out 22 batters in that span. This follows a regular season that saw him pitch 64.2 innings in the majors with a 2.78 ERA and 2.92 FIP.
Wacha was renowned as a prospect for his changeup, and we've seen why in the playoffs. In Wacha's Game Two NLCS start against the Dodgers, batters swung and missed at a third of his off-speed offerings, per Brooks Baseball. He got considerably fewer swings-and-misses in his Game Six start, but still threw his changeup 23 times for 16 strikes in Game Six.
None of the Red Sox have faced Wacha before, of course, and manager John Farrell isn't expected to deviate from his standard lineup. There remains the chance that Farrell will return to starting Daniel Nava over Jonny Gomes against right-handers, but Boston's manager indicated before the series that Nava would not start until the series moves to St. Louis.
While there's comparatively little tape on Wacha to this point, it's not as if the Cardinals have significant experience against Boston's starter, John Lackey, either. Only Beltran and Holliday have faced Lackey in their careers, and they've combined to go 0-for-20.
Lackey has made two postseason starts thus far. The first was a lackluster effort against the Rays, but the latter was a masterpiece. Lackey threw 6.2 innings of shutout ball against the Tigers in Game Three of the ALCS, striking out eight and walking none in what would be a 1-0 victory over Justin Verlander.
Overall, Lackey has now allowed four earned runs in 12 innings this postseason, striking out 14 and walking three.
The Cardinals' lineup doesn't figure to change much from Game One, aside from Jon Jay starting in center field over Shane Robinson. However, as of publishing time, there's no real indication yet about whether Beltran will be able to go after hurting his ribs while trying to rob Ortiz' grand slam in the third. X-rays on Beltran's ribs came back negative, but he's being ruled as a "game time decision," and even if he does play it remains to be seen whether he'll be at full effectiveness.
If Beltran can't go, it seems most likely that Robinson would man right field, as he did after Beltran's exit yesterday. Allen Craig is limited to DHing, so don't look for him to man Fenway's expansive right field. Of course, Robinson would be a significant downgrade from Beltran, who's hitting .250/.375/.525 this postseason and who remains one of the Cardinals' most dangerous hitters.
Both teams should have all members of their bullpens ready to go. The Red Sox used Junichi Tazawa for just one batter in Game One, then used Ryan Dempster, who figures to be used only in mop-up duty, in the ninth. The Cardinals, meanwhile, ran through five relievers after Wainwright's five-inning performance, but none threw more than one inning, and three relievers pitched just one-third of an inning each.
Finally, a note on defense: the broadcast team yesterday kept referring to St. Louis' good regular season fielding percentage to express their shock about the Cardinals' defensive miscues, but as Ben Lindbergh observed in his recap, the Cardinals were not a good fielding team during the regular season. The Red Sox didn't fair much better.
My Prediction: PECOTA has the Cardinals as big favorites in this game, but it might be underrating Lackey based on his pre-Tommy John surgery struggles. Wacha has been dominant as of late and should prove a challenge for Boston, but he's facing an offense that has conquered or outlasted the likes of David Price, Verlander, Max Scherzer and Wainwright so far this postseason.
I'll chalk this one up to whether Beltran is able to play. If St. Louis' right fielder is in the lineup, look for them to even the series at one game apiece. If not, look for the Red Sox to navigate around the bats of Holliday and Craig and do just enough against Wacha to take a two-game lead to St. Louis.

Wasn't Chambers dropped from the WS roster in favor of Craig?
Oct 24, 2013 05:10 AM
"The Red Sox used Tazawa for just one batter in Game Two" should be game one.
Oct 24, 2013 06:18 AM
What is PECOTA's track record in single games? (I would suspect it's pretty random.)
Oct 24, 2013 07:08 AM
What are the PECOTA percentages if Beltran doesn't play? Does it tip the scales in favor of the Sox?
Oct 24, 2013 07:18 AM
I can't imagine one player (unless he's the starting pitcher, or peak Barry Bonds or something) would be worth 9 percentage points in the odds.
Oct 24, 2013 07:39 AM
I think it's a bit misguided to criticize the media talking heads for their emphasis on fielding percentage. Those who understand range factors, zone ratings, etc., correctly point out that those are more robust indicators of whether a defense is going to help a pitcher, by getting to balls in play that weak fielders don't get to. However, the play must still be made once the ball is reached, and errors remain the most destructive way of screwing up a play that "should" be made once the fielder has succeeded in reaching the ball. Fielding percentage is not an inappropriate way of judging the likelihood that the fielder will do that, although it's clearly the wrong way of predicting whether the play will be made at all.
Oct 24, 2013 09:41 AM
It would be interesting to see if when PECOTA says the Cardinals will win 58% of the time if the Cardinals actually do win somewhat close to 58% of the time - perhaps by running a model of predicted single game outcomes for a sample stretch from the season factoring in the win% for each game.

Missed Periods
I take plan b approximately 2-4 days after every time I have unprotected sex which is like once every 3-6 months. I also used to take antidepressants. I stopped with the antidepressants like 1 month ago because of the side effects, and I took plan B today. My period would stop for months and months on end. It will just come back every time I take plan B. I don`t know what has been happening to my body because other than excessive weight gain (40lbs), feeling bloated, and missing my periods I feel fine.
I just would like to know if possible what might be the reason for my missed periods?

Medical News Today reports: Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a new immune protein [Fc receptor] influencing autoimmune diseases such as lupus and multiple sclerosis…
The Fc receptor regulates the production of antibodies that attack bacteria in our bodies. Previously, scientists thought that Fc receptors could only shut down antibody production, but about 15% of the world's population have this new kind of Fc receptor that can also activate antibody production. In people with lupus, this means that the Fc receptor would create too many antibodies, resulting in an attack on healthy cells.
Being able to identify this receptor mutation in patients could help doctors prescribe treatments specific to that patient, and it could also provide early warning signs of autoimmune disease.

This cardiothoracic surgeon hosts the Daytime Emmy-winning "The Dr. Oz Show," which returns 2 p.m. Monday on KABC (Channel 7) for a fifth season with multiple health topics, celebrity interviews and outrageous demonstrations such as the best sex positions for back pain sufferers. Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed the new season and dispensed health advice during a recent conference call with reporters. Here are some highlights:
Illustrating how women treat their hair by climbing a 15-foot weave "demo:"
"Women do things to their hair that are untenable, biologically. The tugging, the stretching, the gluing and the bleaching that goes on destroys the ability of hair to last. They end up with short, fragile pieces of hair. I think that's the reason there's such a large movement now toward natural hair. Your natural hair's health is a representation of (your inner health)."
Discussing his most frequently asked topic — sex:
"I'm going to spend some time on this show doing some edgy programs on that theme because I do think that sex is broken in America. Sexless marriages generally aren't as successful as they could be. The need to be physically intimate with someone that you're emotionally intimate with is important and something that we can't ignore. It's very healthy for the relationship."
Sharing tips on fitness for weight loss:
"If you really want to lose weigh, you want to build muscle mass and do it in a way where you control your appetite. I personally do a lot of yoga. You're going to lift your body weight and do it frequently, and by doing that you actually end up in a wonderful scenario where you're more flexible, relaxed but then you have bigger muscles. So I encourage anyone out there who has not tried it to at least give it a shot."
Concerning DHEA growth hormone in relation to prostate cancer:
"I never bought into those arguments because young men have much higher testosterone levels than older men and they don't get prostate cancer. I think most prostate cancer seems to be related to a combination of factors. But I'm unaware of strong data linking DHEA growth hormones and testosterone supplements to cancer of the organ."
Taking his role as "America's doctor" to heart:
"The show is the main way (uninsured people) get health information so I take that responsibility very seriously. Although the show is meant to be fun and uplifting and a celebratory event where everyone's happy when they leave the hour of the program, there's a real mission to make sure that we're giving people life-saving information."

The Chicken/Egg Paradox
Jonathan Willis
March 02 2009 12:40PM
There's a great article in the Edmonton Journal today about biased refereeing. After looking at more than 2300 power-plays, the Journal and a Vancouver-based researcher discovered that the home team had 11.5% more power-play advantages than the road team.
Curtis Stock, who wrote the article, did a good job getting quotes from different sources. Flames head coach Mike Keenan and Dr. Patrick Keelan, a Calgary-based psychologist, both felt that the referees were being influenced by noise from the crowd.
Stephen Walkom, the NHL's director of officiating, unsurprisingly disagreed. To quote him exactly:
"I think it's more about the players than it is about the referees," said Walkom. "I think there is more conscious pressure on the players to play better and harder in front of their home crowd than what affects the referee."
I think both parties are a little off here. Here's my personal theory:
1. A team is more likely to be penalized when they're at a competitive disadvantage – whether that's being stuck in their own zone, playing against opponents with a higher talent level, playing against more rested opponents, whatever. 2. The NHL systematically slants their schedule in favour of the home team – Tyler over at mc79hockey.com had a great post on this (though I can't seem to find it at the moment) which conclusively showed that the overwhelming majority of teams playing their second game in two nights were visitors. 3. The NHL has subtle rules that benefit the home team – most notably, last change. This means that unless the visiting coach is willing to jump through hoops, the home team coach gets his preferred matchup. 4. Because the home team has systematic advantages built in, the visiting team is more likely to take a penalty because they are more likely to be at a competitive disadvantage.
In other words, I think that the (roughly) 55%/45% penalty differential in favour of the home team is more likely a result of the (roughly) 55%/45% win record than a cause of it. Let's open it up though – what do you think?
What the hell, was there a backlog of articles that weren't posted over the weekend? I can't keep up here!
March 02 2009, 01:01PM
I'd say you're spot on. the NHL needs their teams to win at home.
Doesn't explain the Oilers woes BUT, if you are in charge of selling a product you want that product to look as good as possible in front of the consumer.
It does sound like a conspiracy. I would suggest there are several factors that go into this 55-45 split.
What bothers me about the NHL is the "even up" BS calls we see game in and game out.
It really depends on what the NHL head office wants in terms of teams making the playoffs - such as the Oil getting the shaft in Nashville to help an American team make the playoffs - Bettmans legacy is his sunbelt and NASCAR cities - still no magical investor for Glendale.
I really think hockey had half a chance in Scottsdale - Tempe where the demo had more disposable money, more restaurants with the high DUI arrest rate in that region... but then again the team needed to win and where 99 goes - bankruptcy and jail seems to follow as per McNall, Argos and so on..... but for 99 to pull in 3.5 to 4.0 mm per year and keep his name in hockey for the endorsement money coming in to keep his family a float in California while he lives alone in Paradise Valley at the compound with all the FORDS.....

I will always maintain, and this has been proven every year since the lockout. The referees in the NHL are the absolute worst in all of professional sport. How can having 2 officals, and 2 linesman screw up so many calls, miss so many things that should be penalties, and influence the game as greatly as they do night in and night out? The game against LA. How did 4 of these useless jerk offs get that call so wrong?
Did anyone notice that on the latest version of the Power Rankings on TSN they have "None." listed as "Key Injuries" for the Oilers?? These supposed Power Rakings were updated this morning. How ridiculous is this? Anyone else hate TSN?
Here is a quote from the TSN website:
"If you would like to voice your opinion regarding the NHL Power Rankings please e-mail Scott Cullen at email@example.com."
Email away - my opinion was that the Power Rankings are stupid.

In addition to new articles by Wanye, Brownlee, Gregor and three by me over here, I've got two more over at Copper and Blue.
Feel free to complain about the quality (at least of my work) but there's no arguing with the quantity today!


text: The cavs are horrible. Look what they have done to Bennett and Waiters. Waiters played really good last season and now there is talk about trading him. How do you draft someone #1 overall and don't start him. The cavs made Bennett a bust! He was coming off an injury but even after that they barely played him. They have been playing him more lately though. The #1 pick should be a guaranteed starter no matter what! The cavs deserve to be this mad. Oh and thank goodness we never hired Mike Brown.

The National Mango Board is sponsoring a free Web seminar for retailers and importers on hot-water treatment programs.
The seminar is 4 p.m. Eastern on April 4. The board is working with the University of California-Davis Department of Plant Science, and the Center for Food Distribution and Retailing at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
"Appropriate temperature management is an important component to improve consumers' mango eating experience and knowing the opportunities of improvement is beneficial to the industry," board executive director William Watson said in a release. "Consumers continue to tell us they do not know when a mango is ripe.
"Our mango ripening pilot program is designed to provide tools for the industry to consider if they want to develop their own ripening system," Watson said in the release. "We have seen considerable growth of many other commodities that have been packed and shipped through a ripening program. There is still much more research to do but feel we are on the right path."

The Valley Christian High football team rallied from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter to pull out a 22-21 win over host Pinole Valley on Friday night in a Tri-County Athletic League-Rock Division game.
Senior running back Howard Wikle scored on a two-point conversion attempt with 5:10 left to give Valley Christian (7-2, 3-2 TCAL-Rock) its first lead.
Wikle had also scored nine seconds earlier on a 12-yard run to put Valley Christian within a touchdown.
Wikle's two-point conversion run came after a fumble recovery by Demaurier Blackwell, who picked up the loose ball and ran into the end zone from 5 yards out. Wikle led all rushers with 169 yards on 24 carries.
The Spartans (3-6, 2-3) led 21-0 early in the third quarter after quarterback Devin Davis scored a 2-yard touchdown. Valley Christian took back the momentum after linebacker Josh Quadara intercepted a pass from Davis and ran 50 yards to the end zone for Valley Christian's first score with 1:15 left in the third quarter.
Running back Javari Sheppard had 122 yards on 14 carries to lead Pinole Valley. Fullback Josh Powell added 100 yards on nine carries.
Hercules 41, John Swett 0: The host Titans took a 17-0 lead at halftime and never looked back in a TCAL-Stone Division win over the Indians.
The Titans overcame 12 penalties — including two that brought back touchdowns — to go up 17-0 lead. Hercules' defense, though, held John Swett (4-5, 2-2 TCAL-Stone) to just 25 first-half yards, all of it rushing.
Marquis Davenport led Hercules (6-2, 4-0) in rushing with 130 yards and two touchdowns. Damon Dixon hit Armani Reynolds on a 22-yard touchdown pass and Loran Fonseca nailed a 42-yard field goal for Hercules.

Albany 22, De Anza 13: Led by the running of Brandon Stephens and the passing of quarterback Nick Sternad, the visiting Cougars got their first win, leading from start to finish.
Stephens led Albany (1-3, 1-8 TCAL-Stone) with 71 yards on 13 carries. He rushed for 3 yards in the first quarter for Albany's first score. The two-point conversion gave the Cougars an 8-0 lead, which turned to 8-7 when Jordon Cowart scored for De Anza in the second quarter.
Stephens rushed for 55 yards on eight carries as Albany had a 14-7 lead at halftime.
Sternad completed 4-of-6 passes for 64 yards in the first half, including a 21-yard touchdown toss to Jarin Panigbatan.
De Anza (0-4, 2-6) running back Jordan Cowart had six rushes for 24 yards and a 14-yard touchdown run.
— Don August, correspondent
McClymonds 68, Oakland 0: The Warriors scored 10 touchdowns in their homecoming victory over the Wildcats.
McClymonds (5-3, 3-0) held a 32-0 lead after the first quarter and had a 52-0 lead at halftime, as the losing streak for Oakland (0-3, 2-5) went to four games.
Running back LaVance Warren provided the Warriors' first score on a 13-yard run. That was followed by two Wildcats fumbles returned for touchdowns by Yusef Sterling-Lowe and Antonio Cummings. Cummings also scored on a 19-yard pass from quarterback Keith Williams.
Kenyatta Jackson had three rushing touchdowns for the Warriors, who have won four straight.
— Allen Gordon, correspondent
Oakland Tech 17, Fremont 14: Zach Spindle kicked a 40-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to give the Bulldogs a win over the Tigers at Curt Flood Field to stay unbeaten in the OAL.
Oakland Tech quarterback James Lewis threw a touchdown pass to Michael Adams and also ran in a touchdown as the Bulldogs (6-2, 3-0) and Tigers were tied at halftime 14-14. In the third quarter, Fremont intercepted a Lewis pass and drove to Oakland Tech's 2-yard line. But the Bulldogs defense didn't allow the Tigers to score.
Next Saturday, Oakland Tech plays at Skyline and Fremont (3-4, 1-2) plays at McClymonds.

Alameda 22, San Lorenzo 6: In a defensive game filled with turnovers, Alameda was able to take advantage of enough opportunities to post a West Alameda County Conference victory over San Lorenzo at Arroyo High.
Jack Rausser intercepted Rebels quarterback Kevin Mosi's first pass, setting up Elijah Hernandez's 34-yard run for a 7-0 Hornets lead.
With Alameda (3-6, 1-3 WACC-Shoreline) clinging to a 7-6 fourth-quarter lead, Darnell Rose recovered a San Lorenzo fumble at the Rebels' 29-yard line to help set up Weston Tolbert's 3-yard touchdown run. The key play on the drive was a 21-yard, fourth-down conversion between Jesse Lewis and Keelan Doss. Hernandez's pass to Chris Bussey for the 2-point conversion gave Alameda a 15-6 lead.

The Internal Revenue Service has announced "a variety of enhanced products and services" to help taxpayers file their 2012 federal income tax returns.
New and expanded services this year include a redesigned IRS.gov web site and improved service options, including more video-conferencing assistance sites and social media tools, IRA officials said.
IRS officials also say they have stepped up enforcement efforts to protect taxpayers from refund fraud and identity theft.
The IRS began accepting and processing most individual tax returns Wednesday after updating its processing systems to reflect the American Taxpayer Relief Act enacted by Congress on Jan. 2. While most taxpayers can file now, the IRS is still updating its systems for others, they said.
Those claiming education credits can file in mid-February while those claiming depreciation deductions, energy credits and many business credits can file in late February or early March. A full list of the affected forms is available on IRS.gov.
This year, the deadline to file 2012 tax returns and pay any tax due is Monday, April 15. This year, the IRS expects some 75 percent of the more than 147 million individual tax returns it receives, to be getting a refund, officials said.
Last year, 80 percent of all individual returns were filed electronically and about three of four selected direct deposit.
Last year, IRS.gov received a record 340 million visits, a 17 percent increase over 2011.

Thomas set new veteran records over 400m (66.80 seconds), 800m (two minutes 33.4secs) and 3,000m (11:18.3).
Newcomer Maria Antoniou was the club's only individual winner in the mid-week meeting taking the triple jump with a leap of 9.05m.
Laura Wignall was second in the 200m, and she also ran the opening leg for the 4x200m relay team which finished runners-up.
Other members of the squad were Hannah Fernando, Heather Letley and Emilie Bokor-Ingram.
A further two club records fell in the Southern Women's League Division One match at Erith stadium on Saturday.
Alison Murray climbed 3.10m in the pole vault to break the veteran record, and Ann Martin set another veteran record in the shot (5.06m).
Emily Martin warmed up for this weekend's Surrey championships with a double win in the 100m (13.00secs) and long jump (5.36m).
Emilie Bokor-Ingram took the 400m in 60.40secs, while teenager Emma Headley won over 800m in 2:29.00.
Hannah Fernando secured maximum points in the 800m by winning the B string races.
Fernando also won the 1,500m B race with Amy Aronson winning the A string race (5:12.00) - Aronson also won the 3,000m, clocking 10:36.7.
Joint team managers Letley and Fernando set by example competing in 10 individual events between them, as well as both relays.
They linked up with Bokor-Ingram and Maria Antoniou, who was also third in the triple jump A and second in the long jump B, to secure second place in the 4x400m relay.
Letley was also second in the 200m and 400m hurdles A races and won the high jump B.

Lee Hare, 33, and Kate Jackson-Collier, 36, are Wiltshire Police Community Support Officers and Unison LGBT officers. On Saturday they were among the police contingent taking part in Swindon Pride and flying the rainbow flag. Both live in Swindon and are members of the police team patrolling the northern part of the town...
LEE Hare and Kate Jackson-Collier have been PCSOs for eight years and are firm friends since meeting early in the recruitment process.
Both intended to become regular police officers but both decided to remain PCSOs instead – and for identical reasons.
Lee worked for eight years for Nationwide and briefly in human resources before joining. He'd studied IT at New College and photography at Swindon College. His mother is a retired auxiliary nurse, his father a retired manager and his stepfather a pharmaceutical worker.
Kate studied Leisure and Tourism at Swindon College and worked at venues including the Oasis. Her father worked for WHSmith and her mother in various professions including gardening. Kate is the elder of two sisters.
Lee said: "As a youngster I always wanted to work for the police, although there were other things I wanted to be – an RSPCA inspector, a graphic designer.
"It sounds cheesy but I wanted to help people – get the baddies off the street and everybody can live happily ever after.
"Being a community support officer is like a stepping stone. A lot of people become community support officers to see how the police work. You learn the ins and outs of policing, see what your police officer colleagues do and then, when recruitment opens, quite a lot will apply to become a police officer.
"However, that changed for me because I like doing the more community-focused stuff.
"Response police officers are reactive whereas we do a lot of proactive stuff. So we work with schools, for example. I've been in the job for eight years so a lot of the children I saw when they were in primary school have now left secondary school.
"You know the faces, you know the names and they know you because they've grown up with you coming to their schools."
Kate has a similar story: "I always wanted to be a police officer.
"Ever since I was young I always wanted to do it. I wanted to do it for work experience at school and there was only one place. We had to flip a coin and I ended up at Cotswold Wildlife Park, which was brilliant!
"I always said I'd be a do this job [PCSO] for two years and then join as a regular, but I enjoyed this job so much that I stayed.
"For me, it reminds me of old school policing. You're out in a community, the community knows who you are by name, and you patrol that area every shift. We go out on our bikes, which is a great way to engage with the public.
"We go out on foot – the car can be a bit of a barrier sometimes so we tend to try to use other means to get out there and engage with people."
Like Lee, she especially enjoys working with schools.
"It's one of the areas I've always enjoyed. We do lots of assemblies for children about safety. We do drug and alcohol awareness, we do stranger danger, road safety, internet safety. We talk about our jobs, we do community assemblies."
This strong sense of community engagement is a major factor in their involvement with Pride.
Lee came out as gay at 17 and Kate as bisexual at 20. The two pioneered the Wiltshire Police presence at last year's Pride, and police and union bosses were so impressed that a bigger showing was promised for the 2014 celebration.
Lee said: "Our main role that Unison have brought us in for is to have somebody who is aware of any issues that might be going on in the LGBT community.
"Should anybody have issues at work then we would be their representatives for that issue.
"The biggest way to get to the LGBT community in Swindon and Wiltshire is by Pride.
"Last year we had people coming up to us in the car as we were driving through, saying it was amazing and we were doing a really good job."
Kate added: "People wanted photographs."
Lee is the Unison LGBT officer and Kate the deputy officer.
Discrimination against LGBT people seems to be on the wane – at least in this country – but it is far from being a thing of the past.
"Yes, it's come a long way," said Lee, "but hate crimes and discrimination still exist, which is why we have to be there."
Kate added: "Abuse still goes on today. Last year I was in Brighton with my partner and somebody shouted out of their car window. I can't even remember what they said, but you just think, 'I'm in Brighton, the gay capital of the UK, and in a known gay area, and you have people like that shouting at us out of the window. That's happened twice."
"We've come on in leaps and bounds but there are still problems."
Lee said: "I'd like to see more and more people taking part in Pride. "I think maybe people think you have to be part of the LGBT community to support that group or walk in the parade, but you don't. As long as you are against discrimination and hate crime you should be there."

Best Number One Contender Concept
by, 11-10-2012 at 06:35 PM (6271 Views)
Hey wrestling fans. Savior here with a little time so I figured I'd shoot a blog out there. It's sort of random, as few of the titled concepts are really in play at the moment. I've come up with the top concepts right now that both TNA and WWE use to determine future title contenders. The four biggest concepts going right now are. The purpose of this blog is to get some conversation going as there are lot of opinions out there. I also want to hear ideas from people on how they can either improve on, or replace some of the concepts that are used. I will rank these from least favorite to most favorite.
Money in the Bank Ladder MatchL One for Each Title
Money in the Bank was a great concept. As a showcase at Wrestlemania, it developed into a PPV theme. They now have two matches at the annual PPV, one for each title. Over the years, the matches haven't been quite as exciting, and have featured many less high spots than when it was exclusively a Wrestlemania event. Until John Cena cashed it in on Raw 1000, the MITB winner has become champion in their attempts to cash in. Dolph Ziggler currently holds a briefcase for the World Heavyweight Champion with speculation that he could be cashing in at any time now.
To make this concept better, I think they should do away with the two matches and the themed PPV. I think the MITB has become watered down. I think it would hold much more meaning if they went back to what it was before. One case, either title up for grabs. However, if they need to have two, have one for the WWE/WHC Title, and one for the IC/US Titles.
Bound For Glory Series
In old school AWA fashion, TNA has developed a series of matches with a point system to determine the winner of the series, and the number one contender at the Bound For Glory PPV. Unlike AWA, where there were teams and captains, BFG Series is every man for himself, with one winner taking the opportunity. It started last year where Bobby Roode was the winner and got the title match versus Kurt Angle at BFG 11. Jeff Hardy made a huge comeback this year, and won the tournament and got the title shot, after Samoa Joe and James Storm spent most of the tournament switching between one and two. The tournament runs all summer long, going from June until Sept, concluding with the final four facing off at the No Surrender PPV.
I would improve on this by having eliminations as time goes on. This way, they can avoid the predictability of having bottom dwellers face those contending for the lead, late in the tournament. So, if they're a month into the tournament, Also, instead of wasting time having those who have no shot at winning the tournament still taking part in matches, they can move on and start a new feud or whatever. Also, don't have series matches at House Shows.
X Division "Option C" - Destination X
In a concept similar the Money in the Bank, Austin Aries set a new precedent by getting Hogan to put into effect, Option C. Now, the X Division champ has the opportunity to cash in his X Division title for a World Title match at Destination X. A great concept that has brought new meaning to the X Division and has opened it up to everyone, not just "cruiserweight" types. This concept is very new, so we'll wait to see how the trend works out. If this continues to be a stepping stone for guys like Aries to get title shots, where maybe by the time next year rolls around, Zema Ion or Joey Ryan, or Kenny King will be in that position, then it's a successful concept that should be a main stay. I also love the open X Division Title Ultimate X match that takes place at the PPV as well.
Royal Rumble: Winner Gets a Title Shot at Wrestlemania
For a very long time, this has been a main stay. It wasn't originally for a title match, but stipulation has given it much more meaning. Save for one year, when the actual title was on the line for the winner, the majority of the Royal Rumbles have been used to determine who headlines Wrestlemania for the title. The Royal Rumble is seldom a stepping stone for unexpected superstars to headline Wrestlemania. It creates some drama with a superstar who would last a really long time in the battle royal and then fall short. Just a few years ago, it was Shawn Michaels last opportunity to get his rematch against Undertaker, he was eliminated late in the match. Guys have reaped the rewards of record-setting time in the rumble match, like Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit, who rank #1 & #2 respectively. Others have spent considerable time, only to fall short, like Bob Backlund and Kane.
I wouldn't change this concept in anyway. The ultimate prize is at stake. And it's also too risky to try and use this as a stepping stone for a high mid-carder because we're talking about Wrestlemania being about 8 weeks after and there's no time to properly build someone into the type of draw that can headline biggest wrestling event of the year.
There you have it guys. These are my top four. I know it was quite random, but there's not a whole lot happening in the wrestling world today, so I figured I'd freshen up the blog board a bit. I'd love to hear your ideas on how you would rank these concepts or how you would make them better.

Dental and Oral Health (Adults)
Tongue lump
A few days ago, a small lump appeared on the top of my tongue, just a little off center and about 1/3 of the way back. It's pea-sized and doesn't come up very far. It doesn't hurt, but really feels weird. When it first appeared, there was no coloring, but now it's a little lighter than normal tongue color.
I'm 37, don't smoke and only drink occasionally. Everything I've read says that cancerous lumps are found on the side, bottom, or under the tongue. I've never experienced any lumps/lesions in any of those places.
I'd just like an expert opinion, since I haven't really found anything that describes what I have. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, so this is freaking me out a bit. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry for the delay in responding to your concern of the lump/bump on your tongue.
There are many possibilities of the cause of such things, and if you are very concerned or this continues or becomes larger, you should see your primary care provider or your dentist to have it evaluated.
There is a "grocery list" of possible lesions that can present on the dorsum of the tongue, that range from an irritation fibroma to mesenchymal tumors. Majority of "lumps/bumps" on the top surface of the tongue are related to some form of trauma that occurs with biting or chewing. The fibroma is a proliferation or over growth of fibrous connective tissue that results from some form of irritation or trauma, and is the most common. Treatment is excisional biopsy and histological evaluation by an oral pathologist to rule out significant pathology.
The next possibility is a mucocele or mucous extravasation phenomena. These usually occur on the ventral floor of mouth side of the tongue and are the result of a blocked salivary gland duct and resultant abnormal collection of saliva retained within the tissue; they can come and go as a result of rupture. In most cases, definitive treatment (surgery) is not indicated.
Another possible lesion is the granular cell tumor, a dorsal surface (top) lesion that develops in person 40-60 years of age (age predilection, and rare in children), that is asymptomatic and is fairly small in diameter. The lesion is often present and observed by the patient for many months even years but some individuals are unaware of its presence and it is detected during oral examination. Etiology (cause of disease) is unknown and treatment is by excisional biopsy.
The pyogenic granuloma is another somewhat common lesion that can occur on the dorsum or top of the tongue. History of trauma (biting the tongue) is common event that precedes the lesion, and there is an increased frequency of occurrence during pregnancy.
The lesion appears like a cluster of grapes or an oversized red purple grape (very vascular and can be ulcerated, and bleed upon probing). Treatment is excisional removal and histological evaluation to confirm diagnosis. During pregnancy treatment is usually deferred and the lesion usually goes away on its own.
Other tongue lesions exist in a grocery list differential and require a thorough oral examination and history to sort through and come up with a definitive diagnosis. The additional possibilities include such disease entities as the neurofibroma, hemangioma, lymphangioma, or osseous or cartilagenous choristomas. Finally since I have not seen the lesion I would not rule out squamous cell carcinoma, until I evaluated and biopsied the site.
In all reality, it is probably something very benign, but if you are concerned, I would highly recommend having it evaluated.
