Harper Woods
Police K-9 makes his mark in department
By April Lehmbeck
Posted October 22, 2013
HARPER WOODS — Despite his small stature and only having been on the job a short time, officer Xander is doing some impressive police work on the streets.
Xander, a German shepherd, stopped by the City Council meeting Oct. 7 with his partner, officer Dan Schewe, for a presentation.
Sgt. John Vorgitch handed Schewe something special that night.
"It's going to be his official badge," Vorgitch said as he passed over the badge.
Xander used to work with Schewe in Inkster before Schewe was laid off during budget cuts.
When the dog came to Harper Woods, Xander needed to be recertified. Xander didn't initially come into the department with Schewe, who owns the dog, but Public Safety Director James Burke wanted to bring him on, too.
He gained recertification the first time through the process.
"We found Harper Woods and fell in love with it here," Schewe said. "The chief gave us the opportunity to work together again, so I'm very appreciative. We're very happy to be together serving the community."
"Xander's a full-service patrol dog, so he's certified in narcotics, tracking and apprehension," Schewe said. "He's got all his certifications, and he's ready to go. His favorite thing to do is track."
On Oct. 7, they had only a short time on the road together, but the news was good.
"We've been on the road together for about seven days, and Xander's already seized a significant amount of drug money."
In the first couple of weeks on duty, Xander was responsible for $10,000 in asset forfeiture for drug-related crimes, according to Harper Woods police.
Burke is pleased with the decision to bring Xander into the department.
Burke said Xander is already making a major impact with drug investigations and other police work.
There have been instances when Xander indicated that he smelled drugs while searching a car at a traffic stop.
"If we wouldn't have had the dog, we wouldn't have known," Burke said. "His dog is one of the highest-rated dogs in the state of Michigan."
Xander has assisted one of the Grosse Pointes on a case, and the department is receiving calls from the state police and county agencies to use the dog for their cases, as well.
"The dog's reputation is quickly being known out there as very effective," Lt. Robert Hunter said.
"He's a huge hit around the station here," Hunter said.
He has a dog bed and biscuits at the department.
"He loves working," Hunter said. "The dog is just phenomenal to have."
Hunter said Schewe has a passion for the K9 program and Xander's training that makes him a great asset.

Oh Bullshit! It's you gun loving fuck heads who allow any mental head case mofo to have a gun; just to protect your own precious rights. Just start saying no to the pill poppers and crazies. You know not "everyone" should be allowed to do "everything"...Now take that from a so called libtard you asswipe.
Ah, really no point in saying anything with a tard like you anyhow. The subject of gun ownership is clearly above your pay grade.
Anonymous Coward 5141990
The same people that want your guns also want at least 90 percent depopulation of the planet - and that's public record if you take the time to actually investigate. Bill Gates said on Ted presentation he wants your ass dead. What are your odds that you are going to be in the 5-10 percent that is allowed to live? I don't know but it is probably not in your favor. I do know this. Your chances of surviving these killers when they finally decide to slab you falls drastically once you are disarmed. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Anonymous Coward 29158753
Who is disarmed? You tards make so many jackass asumptions and enemies along the way. Good thing conservatives are still conservatives regardless of who butters our bread; I guess we just know how to play the game better to get all the toys.
Are you stupid? All I stated was that nut jobs should not be entitled to have guns. If you choose to share your guns and space with wackadoodles you can have at it. I'd rather waste my bullets for the real pricks...you know the ones you reference above. And do you seriously think they will use guns to kill us aka thin the herd? No the guns will be needed to kill the wackadoodles I refer to that will go nuts when tshtf fer reel. Think.
Anonymous Coward 5141990
Who gets to decide who is a nutjob who shouldn't have guns? You? Obama? What if that somebody gets to decide YOU are the nutjob and comes for your guns? You wouldn't like it would you. Well, other people don't like it. The label of nutjob tends to get generously handed out when control freaks in government want a disarmed public. Be careful with slippery slopes.
Anonymous Coward 29158753
ahh the 'slippery slope' .... come on. Geeze some of you need to go live in a box so you can just live out your lives walkin in circles just like the man wants. O no laws or rules unless they suit your ass alone eh...fuck off.

Groton - When a computer breaks, a novice can usually tinker with it to fix a basic problem.
But at some point, you need a professional, said Master Chief Petty Officer Travis Brummer. The submarine force has reached that point.
This week at the Naval Submarine School, 16 sailors began learning how to operate and maintain the state-of-the-art computer systems and networks on board submarines. They will be the first sailors formally trained and certified to do so.
"Now the submarine force will get much more effective, trained and certified information systems technicians," said Brummer, the command master chief at the Center for Information Dominance at Corry Station, Fla.
The Navy created a new job, or rate, for submariners in December called Information Systems Technician Submarines and launched the 19-week Information Systems Technician "A" School at the submarine school as a learning site for the center to train sailors for the job.
Until now, a sailor in another job on a submarine volunteered to work on the computers.
But that put the sailor at a disadvantage when he had to take tests for his regular job because he spent so much time away from it, said Chief Kevin Dingman, the site director.
And, Dingman said, "Technology has grown to the point where you can't do it part-time anymore." There are dedicated information systems technicians on ships that have larger crews and more space.
Brummer and Dingman said they couldn't discuss the cyber warfare aspects of the training but did say submarines can better defend against security threats with these new information systems technicians on board.
The "A" School is followed by two other courses, for a total of 11 months of training. The Navy's goal is to eventually graduate 96 students annually. The size of the submarine crews is not expected to change, Brummer said.
On the second day of class, Seaman Caleb Allen, 28, who joined the Navy in December, said the instructor had already "gone over everything that makes a computer tick." The pace of the course, Allen said, is "insane."
Seaman Recruit Darius Sellers, 18, said working on computers had always been a hobby and that he was looking forward to turning his hobby into a career. He fixed the computer at his church in South Carolina and recorded the sermons, he said.
"I think it's important. You need someone who can fix all that stuff when things go wrong," Sellers said. "You need constant communications throughout the boat and with the rest of the fleet."

Group B strep is a normal bacteria that is living in one in five women's vaginas. Usually there are no symptoms. The baby can become infected when giving birth which can be serious but is rare. There is a higher risk of the baby being infected if it is premature, the membranes have been ruptured for more than 18 hours before birth, multiple vagina exams during labour, interventions like forceps, mother with fever during labor or babies who need recuscitation at birth. It seems common in hospitals to give mothers who have strep b antibiotics during labour. I had group b strep last time I was pregnant and was given antibiotics in labour - my water had been broken for 24 hours by the time I gave birth. There are herbs you can start taking near the end of your pregnancy to support your immune system and possibly eliminate the strep b by the time you deliver. I find that The Natural Pregnancy Book by Aviva Jill Romm has alot of helpful information in it.

Some Questions:
- Will Ryan Dempster keep it going in the playoffs?
- How healthy and effective are Zambrano and Harden?
- Who will bridge the gap between the starters and Marmol and Wood?
- Can the Dodgers offense sustain their recent hot streak?
- How effective will Rafael Furcal be?
- Will the Cubs pitch to Manny Ramirez and if not, can the rest of the Dodgers lineup make the Cubs pay?
Thoughts: The only reason this series has any chance of being interesting is because questions linger on whether Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden are healthy enough to be at the top of their games. That and the fact that Lou might use Bob Howry in a game. Nonetheless, the Dodgers offense certainly did improve with the addition of Manny Ramirez, going from 4.14 Runs Scored per game to 4.70, which if they had done that all year would be good for the 6th best offense rather than 13th. I already brought up my concerns that the Dodgers hot streak was inflated by a soft September schedule, but there's no doubt they are a better team than their full season numbers show.
Unfortunately no one but Zambrano and Harden (and maybe Lou) really know if they're at full strength and if they're not, there isn't much any Cubs or their fans can do about it. Sure, Lou could move Lilly up earlier in the series, but the Dodgers have had a lot more luck against lefties than righties, so there isn't much to gain.
The only real concern I have is if the starters can go at least six and hopefully seven innings. The bridge between the starters and Marmol and Wood is the weak link of this team and every pitch made by someone other than Dempster, Zambrano, Harden, Lilly or Marmol is a going to be a dangerous one.
Defensively, the Cubs probably have been pretty solid all year. Lee and Fukudome are probably the two best defenders but there really isn't a weak member in the entire group. Soriano can be a little adventurous, but he also keeps teams from even thinking of taking an extra base and Ramirez's little bout of wild throws seems to have ended.
Final Prediction: Cubs in 4. They split at Wrigley and the Cubs take both at Dodger Stadium.
Re: 2008 NLDS Preview: Cubs Run Prevention vs. Dodgers Scoring
Re: 2008 NLDS Preview: Cubs Run Prevention vs. Dodgers Scoring
I'm hoping the Cubs can take the two at home. I have over 40 years of horrid memories of late nights watching the Cubs blow games on the west coast. (actually I lived in LA for over a decade so a quarter of the bad memories are first hand) Just so many games where the Cubs held what was often an anemic Dodger offense down for eight innings only to have someone like Ken Landreaux (sp?) beat them with a two-out two run bloop double just inside the line. I remember many times turning off the TV before Brickhouse or Harry could even finish saying the game was over.
Dodger Stadium is a great example of what's wrong with Los Angeles. It, like too many major gathering places in LA, is a suburban entity with zero public transportation set down in the middle of a city. But it's the Cubs losing too many heartbreakers there that really makes me hate it. And everyone always saying how great Dodger Dogs are. And the fans who come late, leave early and don't make a peep until the scoreboard or music on the PA tells them to.
Re: 2008 NLDS Preview: Cubs Run Prevention vs. Dodgers Scoring
Me too, actually. I remember a lot of nights up until one or two in the morning only to watch the Cubs lose to the Rockies or the Giants on WGN. Not good times.
Re: 2008 NLDS Preview: Cubs Run Prevention vs. Dodgers Scoring
Well, it's official. The fingernail-gnawing has begun.
Re: 2008 NLDS Preview: Cubs Run Prevention vs. Dodgers Scoring
The fingernail-biting began Monday for me. Thank goodness there actually were baseball games to watch and not a whole lot of nothing.
I think the most relevant question for Dodger run production less whether Furcal contributes, but whether the hitters batting before Manny Ramirez get on base. Before the last week of the season and Furcal's return, the 1-2 hitters had been Martin and Andre Ethier, who did a nice impression of Pujols in August and September. But in last week it had adjusted to Kemp and Martin, Furcal and Kent, or Furcal and DeWitt, with the occasional dose of Juan Pierre thrown in.
Keeping the Dodger 1-2 hitters off base, no matter who they are, will be the key to this series. Do that and take pitches from Derek Lowe tonight and we should be fine. Should be.
Re: 2008 NLDS Preview: Cubs Run Prevention vs. Dodgers Scoring
I believe the Cubs website has been updated with the active roster for the playoffs: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp...
It has Pie active and hoffpauer non-active....The thing that pisses me off is that Howry is still active...The only way that guy should be used is in the 9th inning if we are down 10....which should be never.
Recent comments
I think you're very much overvaluing Schwarber if you think he can fetch Sale by himself. An unproven rookie with demonstrable offensive flaws he hasn't had the chance to show he can overcome and with no defensive upside will never fetch an ace of the quality of Sale in today's market where pitchers are fetching insane prices, especially with Sale's team friendly contract. You'd for sure need to throw in a pitching prospect in return at least.
best relievers in baseball tend to not be the best relievers for very long though...
also, when you start just trading away guys for marginal benefits, that window will shrink. The window is easily through 2021, just have to look how long Rizzo is signed for and how long they have rights to Bryant, Russell and so on down the line.
Can't say I'm too worried about the SP, they've done nothing but land guys on the cheap and on the expensive since they've arrived. TheJedi will figure that out.
Not sure I agree with this logic. The Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball, they have spent heavily on the team over the past couple of seasons, have more hitting prospects than they have places for them to play (and more on the way), a clear weakness in the bullpen, and have a 1.5 year window with Arrieta (to say nothing of the likely declines of Lester and Lackey).
Unless you think (maybe even if you do think) Schwarber is the next coming of Babe Ruth, I would certainly consider trading him if it brought back a couple of the best relief pitchers in baseball.
Miggy was going to sit anyway with Lester starting.
In related news, do any of the Cubs pitchers want to throw to Contreras?
Only Russell and Miggy failed to reach base yesterday. Both sit today.
Trading Schwarber actually makes a lot of sense because his actual position is currently being taken by Anthony Rizzo, unless they vote in the DH this offseason.
Trading him for a reliever is never going to happen though. I don't think you can trade Schwarber unless you get a CF'er for a few years (presume Fowler finds his multi-year deal next offseson) or a couple of high end young starters...or an established starter...a good one like Chris Sale.
I don't see what the Yanks have that the Cubs need.
peter gammons on MLB network pushing the yanks/schwarber angle...says insiders from the yanks say brian cashman highly covets him.
unless that conversation starts with a.miller (2/18m left on contract) i dunno how you even start that conversation given the "not trash, but no stars" state of the yanks minor league system.
they got corner OF'r aaron judge, C gary sanchez, RHP james kaprielian's questionable elbow, RHP domingo acevedo...all interesting, none expected to impact the game like schwarber's power potential.
Zo, Heyward, KB, Riz, Contreras (LF), Baez (SS), Szczur (CF), Ross, Lester
damn. low sample size blah blah whatever, but that slash got sneaky good. 10 hits, 4 walks, 2hr, 1 double through 39 PA...nice
Buddy Ryan takes his place alongside George Allen as the great Bear head coaches who never were.
Well, at least he can still hit: Jake slashing .294/.368/.868. Forget hitting 8th -- he should hit 6th.
Curious to see today's lineup vs. a LHP: Ross needs to catch Lester, Joe likes Javy at 3B when Lester pitches. Heyward with back-to-back good games at the plate, and is actually hitting a little better against LHP (.247/.341) than RHP (.232/.321), although neither is much to write home about. But, tomorrow is an early day game, so some regulars will probably sit either today or tomorrow.
Maybe Willson in LF, KB in RF and Almora in CF? If so, Albert Jr., assume every ball is yours.
"Pitching prospects not looking so hot"
That reminds me that Lucas Giolito will start for the Nats tonight.
Well, there you go. Federowicz is one of the best at balls in the dirt.
Reds pitching meeting tomorrow:
"Hey coach...maybe we should walk Bryant?"
"No...keep challenging him with fastballs! What kind of man are you?! The Cubs walked Harper, and look what happened there! They got teased for it, by one of the Nat players! Is that what you want?"

Brothers chase history in club final
Siblings chasing Jubilee Cup glory togetherTOBY ROBSON
Relevant offers
Club Sport
Nick and Jason Risdon might live in Wainuiomata, but their rugby hearts reside at the Hutt Recreation Ground.
Hutt Old Boys Marist's ever- green brothers will chase a rare piece of history on Sunday when Jason attempts to join his older sibling in captaining the club to a Jubilee Cup title.
In 2007 it was Nick, now 30, who held Wellington's famous trophy aloft after leading the Eagles to the club's first premier title since Hutt Old Boys and Hutt Valley Marist amalgamated in 1993.
Seven years later he's hoping his little brother can repeat the feat by inspiring the current crop to a win over their home-town club Wainui.
"It doesn't really matter who is captain. I probably still talk to him on the field like he's my little brother," Nick said yesterday.
"Growing up in Wainui, he was a bit chubbier than he is now and he lost most of the backyard battles, but I think these days I might be struggling there."
That's because Nick, a halfback, has watched his brother develop into one of Wellington club rugby's most experienced and inspirational opensides since he debuted for the premiers in 2006.
"Everyone can see from his play on the field that he leads by example and he's probably quite underrated as a player," he said. "He combines his physical ability with tactical ability. He's very smart. He's not a crash and bash player."
The respect is mutual.
Jason, a sparky by trade, has been following his brother around a rugby field since they played together at St Bernard's College.
"Nick was just a scrawny kid, so when I was third form and he was fifth form we both played under 55kg grade together," Jason said. "It wasn't until I made the prems that we played in the same team together again."
By then the older Risdon was already Hutt's premier captain and in the years since the pair have both become an integral part of the club on and off the field.
Nick has led the team for the best part of the last decade, including most of the three years when Jason plied his trade in Ireland's Division 1 competition for Old Belvedere Rugby Club in Dublin from 2009 to 2011.
The pair were co-captains in 2012, but with Nick battling former New Zealand schools halfback Sheridan Rangihuna for a starting spot this season, Jason has assumed the mantle, albeit, he says, only on the field.
"Off the field Nick does a lot of work organising the social stuff and I think that's been a huge key to our success," he said. "I can't speak for other clubs, but it's a big focus of our team and our club."
Midweek dinners, ten pin bowling, quiz nights, and other social activities have been a weekly occurrence during the second half of the season and last night the squad chowed down at Cowboy Jack's restaurant in Lower Hutt.
It was a last chance to relax together.
"I don't know if I should tell you this, but Nick and I are both from Wainui. We were brought up there and we still live in Wainui, but we've always played for the Hutt," he said. "We probably have more family ties to Wainui than the Hutt, so there's a healthy rivalry."
The Risdon boys aren't the only survivors from the HOBM side that beat Marist St Pats 18-10 in the 2007 final at Westpac Stadium with props Simon Malaeulu and Otto Rasch, and lock Steven Bradshaw also set to play a part in 2014.

DHL Global Forwarding will rely more heavily on rail in Germany to transport containers to sea freight terminals in an effort to cut its carbon emissions.
DHL Global Forwarding, the freight unit of German postal giant Deutsche Post DHL Group, previously transported containers on roads via trucks. By shifting to rail transport, the freight unit expects to cut carbon emissions by 365 tons a year, according to a report in Post & Parcel.
The shift from roads to rail is one component of DHL's company-wide goal to cut emissions 30 percent (from a 2007 benchmark) by 2020. Since launching its GoGreen initiative several years ago, the company has installed IT systems to collect information on carbon outputs at all points in the supply chain and process it automatically.
In July 2011, DHL created the GoGreen Carbon Dashboard, a service for its freight customers to track carbon emissions from the company and third-party sources. It also worked to improve efficiency with the installation of more accurate fuel gauges in its trucks and added 30 electric vans and 50 hybrid trucks to its Manhattan fleet.
The company has tested the efficiency of its rail transport network since April 2011. This month DHL Global Forwarding said it will officially move from road to its rail network for consolidated freight containers going from its shipment facility in Bremen to the terminals of shipping companies in Hamburg and Bremerhaven. The container redistribution facility in Bremen, where some 7,500 consolidated freight containers are transported to terminals each year, is one of the company's most important sea freight transhipment centers in Europe.
Jürgen Klenner, vice president of strategy and business at DHL Global Forwarding, said as much as 50 percent of a product's carbon footprint is generated in the course of transportation.
DHL said it has already met its interim target to improve its energy efficiency 10 percent by 2012.
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that DHL has tested the efficiency of its rail transport network since April 2001. This should have read "April 2011."

The class I took was good. The price was very good. I had no problems communicating with the college, and in fact, got help a couple of times which never took more than a day for them to respond. The material was more in depth than other similar classes that I found. The graphics included in the class were quite good as well. I was interested in the difference between the class materials from Europe compared to the class materials from the US. I think that comparing the two have provided me with a better overview of all of the topics included in my class. The person who I reported to with my class projects was very helpful, and provided good insight as to what was expected and corrected my work in great detail. My experience was quite contrary to the other reviews found here.

"If Hating Homosexuals Makes Our Church a Hate Group Then That's What We Are"
I've written several posts already about Religious Right groups fighting back against the Southern Poverty Law Center's updated list of anti-gay hate groups, so I guess I should also note that not everyone on the list is upset about.
In fact, Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church is on the list and he openly admits that he "absolutely" hates gays:
Tucked in a Tempe strip mall sits the Faithful Word Baptist Church .
The church is not new and the controversy surrounding the beliefs of its leader are not new. However, a report released Wednesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center gives the church a new label.
The SPLC is now listing the church as a hate group targeting homosexuals in a list of hate groups operating in Arizona.
"Do I hate? Absolutely," said Faithful Word Baptist Church Pastor Steven Anderson.
Anderson wasn't aware of the new article and label by the SPLC and wasn't surprised. When asked if he hates homosexuals, Anderson quickly said, "absolutley."
Anderson's church made headlines several months ago when one of its members carried a rifle outside a downtown Phoenix building during a visit by President Barack Obama.
On Wednesday night, prior to service, Anderson declined to read the article posted by the SPLC.
"Am I all about hate? No I'm sure I'm more about love than I am hate," Anderson said. "I do hate homosexuals and if hating homosexuals makes our church a hate group then that's what we are."
The church leader, with a Bible in his hand during the interview, said he preaches his hatred for homosexuals and wishes death upon them.

Is this how he found his identity? Ed Miliband gets secret acting lessons from Bourne movie director
- Labour leader, 43, has been coached by Bourne director Paul Greengrass
- The British film director, 58, told him how to behave in front of the camera
- Matt Damon played man unsure of who he was in The Bourne Identity films
- Critics noticed the usually awkward Miliband was more confident in speech
Labour leader Ed Miliband was coached by Bourne Supremacy film director Paul Greengrass to improve his performance in front of the camera, it has emerged.
The 43-year-old politician, who is known for his nasal voice and somewhat uncharismatic delivery, reportedly had lessons in how to act in front of an audience for 'months' before he delivered his speech at the Labour party conference in Brighton on Tuesday.
Greengrass, 58, directed Matt Damon who played a spy struggling to discover who he was in the Bourne Identity sequels The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Ed Miliband, 43, has been coached by British director Paul Greengrass, 58, on how to act in front of audiences
Action hero: Matt Damon appeared as CIA agent Jason Bourne in two Bourne films directed by Greengrass
He was reportedly drafted in to help the leader of the opposition practise speaking in front of an audience before his big appearance at Brighton.
Greengrass has known Miliband since the 1990s when they both worked in television together and has coached him before - in 2011 the pair had meetings to discuss tactics on how Miliband might achieve political supremacy.
Those who listened to Miliband's speech earlier this week noticed a change in manner for the usually nerdish politician. He seemed more confident, articulate, and happy to gesticulate as he spoke of his vision for the future.
The Labour Party press office did not return MailOnline's request for a comment today.
Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne, a CIA agent suffering from extreme memory loss who is struggling to find out who he is in the Bourne films.
The first film in the series, The Bourne Identity, came out in 2002, followed by The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), both of which were directed by British director Greengrass.
The fourth and most recent film in the series, The Bourne Legacy, co-written and directed by Tony Gilroy, came out last year but Matt Damon chose not to act in the film.
Damon, who like Miliband was told how to act in front of a camera, plays Jason Bourne, a man who is not sure of his own identity, in the Bourne films

From Comcast SportsNetNEW YORK (AP) -- The NHL canceled the rest of the preseason Thursday, just a day before negotiations were set to resume in an effort to end the lockout.The league announced its second cancellation of preseason games in a two-sentence statement. NHL owners locked out players Sept. 16 when the collective bargaining agreement expired.The NHL had already called off all the exhibition games scheduled in September. The regular season is supposed to begin Oct. 11.The two sides have scheduled talks on Friday in New York, although they are on secondary economic issues as opposed to the core of the dispute, which is how to split more than 3 billion in annual revenue."I'll reserve judgment on my sense of optimism' (or not) until we see how our meetings unfold," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in an email to The Associated Press. "Ultimately, we have to meet and talk to make a deal. But until we make progress and see some compromise from the Union of their economic position, we won't be going anywhere fast."We will see."The NHL and the union last met for formal negotiations Sept. 12, three days before the labor pact that ended the previous lockout -- back in 2005 -- ran out.Now there is at least a glimmer of optimism as talks are expected to last through the weekend. If a deal isn't reached soon, regular-season games will be the next thing to be called off, and players will begin to miss paychecks.In the most recent round of talks, both sides exchanged proposals on the core economic issues. The NHL made the last offer that day and said it has been waiting for the NHLPA to make a counteroffer."Obviously, we've got to talk before you can get a deal, so I think it's important to get the talks going again," Daly said this week. "But you also have to have something to say. I think it's fair to say we feel like we need to hear from the players' association in a meaningful way because I don't think that they've really moved off their initial proposal, which was made more than a month ago now."As part of their decision to resume talks, the sides agreed to revisit the secondary issues that will have to be ironed out in the new CBA. Those include, but aren't limited to, grievance procedures, travel, medical care, and pensions and benefits."We are pleased the league is willing to come back to the bargaining table, and we look forward to Friday's discussions," NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said on Tuesday, when the negotiations were scheduled.
Lionel Messi says he is quitting Argentina national team
Lionel Messi says he is quitting Argentina national team
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Lionel Messi says he is quitting Argentina's national team.
Argentina and Messi lost a final for the third year in a row, with Chile winning the Copa America 4-2 on penalty kicks following a 0-0 tie Sunday night.
His nation's career scoring leader with 55 international goals, Messi sent Argentina's first penalty kick over the crossbar.
Messi tells the Argentine network TyC Sports "the national team is over for me. It's been four finals, it's not meant for me. I tried. It was the thing I wanted the most, but I couldn't get it, so I think it's over."
Messi and Argentina lost to Brazil in the 2007 Copa final and to Germany in extra time in the 2014 World Cup final. They lost last year's Copa final to host Chile on penalty kicks.
The 29-year-old Messi has led Barcelona to four Champions League titles.

iPhone 4 launches in U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Japan to long lines
The iPhone 4 has officially launched in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and Japan, with customers standing in lengthy lines to get their hands on Apple's latest handset. iLounge editor Jeremy Horwitz found a substantial group of people waiting to enter the mall and begin queueing outside the Apple Store when he arrived at the Walden Galleria in Buffalo, NY at 5:30 a.m. Our publisher Dennis Lloyd found a similar crowd waiting outside the Apple Store in Costa Mesa, CA, and reports from other cities across the U.S. indicate that most Apple Stores have and/or had impressive crowds awaiting the launch. Notably, the line outside Apple's flagship 5th Avenue store in New York City—which TUAW describes as longer than the lines for the iPhone 3GS or even the iPad's launch—wraps around a full city block.
Internationally, the Associated Press is reporting that lines "hundreds" of people long were seen outside stores in nearly every country, including outside Apple's retail stores in the Ginza shopping district of Tokyo, Japan, Regent Street in the U.K., and outside T-Mobile's flagship store in Berlin and Softbank's flagship store in Tokyo. The report also relays the story of a French shoe salesman who went to pick up the iPhone 4 on his lunch break only to learn that they were already sold out. "Either I'll look elsewhere or come back later," he said.
Update: Four and a half hours after arriving at the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA, iLounge Publisher Dennis Lloyd has yet to enter the Apple Store due to the lengthy reservation line. For customers still waiting, Apple has been providing free Smart Water, coffee, half sandwiches, lemonade, iced tea, and umbrellas for shade.

I got in line in Raliegh NC at 8:30 last night and was the 4th person in the "reserved" line. The mall was nice enough to leave a door unlocked for everybody to get in line and come and go all night. Around 3am is when the line started growing like mad. I was out of the store by 7:15. The signal does drop if you hold the phone deep in your hand but holding it with your finger tips has no effect on it. It is an awsome piece of art.

Food & Wine
Nicola Belsham is so determined to demystify pairing food and wine that she doesn't even flinch when recounting the "horrifying" tale of her most successful match.
Belsham, who shrinks at being labelled an expert despite knowing more about wine than most, once knocked back a costly bottle of French wine while nibbling on a packet of jaffas.
'It was a Chateau Angelus merlot from St Emilion and it cost more than [PndStlg]100 a bottle. Merlot can be quite chocolaty and it was quite mature, so the tannins were soft. The tangy acidity of the orange in the jaffas made more of the tannins and it was just wonderful. It was a really good example of how the different elements of food and wine can work together. But that story horrifies anyone who considers themselves a 'wine connoisseur'.'
But while the 42-year-old has no time for the purple prose spouted by wine snobs, she thinks drinkers need more education.
'When you read the back of a bottle of chardonnay and it says 'goes with chicken', that doesn't take into account that there are a squillion recipes for chicken and a squillion kinds of chardonnay. I try to show people why some wines go with food and why some can't. I try to educate them in a non- threatening way.'
As the wine consultant for events company Feast and Vine, she's been busy sharing this kind of no-fuss expertise at several Wellington On A Plate events so far. There's been a Mediterranean-inspired lunch in Khandallah, a walking tour of her favourite inner city wine bars as well as a Sauternes, cheese and patisserie tasting at Bordeaux Bakery. On Monday she'll be choosing the wine at an exclusive sold-out dinner hosted by restaurant critic David Burton at Betty's Function House and Bar.
She says wine and food matching is a new thing for many New Zealanders.
'We have such a limited culture in terms of wine and food matching, because we were colonised by the British and the north-eastern Europeans, who were not great wine drinkers. We are a very multi-cultural country now and we have a very multi-cultural approach to food but we don't have that history of matching it with wine.'
As well as her wine consulting, Belsham now works in marketing and brand development for Martinborough winery Murdoch James. But her first real experience of the wine industry came 'a lifetime ago' when she was a graphic designer creating labels for wine bottles in the late 1990s. 'I wanted a change of scene so I went travelling. I was in Ireland and I decided what I really wanted to do was to have a wine shop.'
She started working for British wine retail giant Oddbins - which enabled her to study for the industry-standard WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust ) qualifications - then moved to Sicily where she intended to work on a vineyard. When those plans fell through she moved back to New Zealand in 2002.
Meeting - and marrying - Carl Fraser, now the winemaker at Murdoch James, was another turning point.
In 2004, the couple opened upmarket Willis St shop Wineseeker, where they ran wine courses and tried to help customers broaden their palates.
'It was interesting, because a lot of people won't go to real wine shops because they feel they don't know enough. But then in the shop we would invariably get people who would go on about the fancy wines they had in their cellar that they never drank, and what this or that winemaker said to them. Then they would ask you for a bottle of wine that cost $12.'
The pair sold the shop a couple of years ago to concentrate on their Wairarapa wine activities, which for Belsham includes targeting new markets.
'The wine industry has been very old school, but it is desperate for new drinkers. That's why Asia, especially China, is so important. In China they don't call it wine drinking or wine tasting, they call it wine learning.'
Being a professional wine buff may sound idyllic but with two small children (2-year-old Rhiannon and 5-month-old Chinzia), Belsham certainly deserves a glass of wine at the end of the day. She just wants other people to get as much enjoyment out of it as she does.
'I want to make wine more accessible. I say that if you like a wine, then it's a good one.'
