actually - i was going to write an offseason thought but i can't put the effort into it.
thinking to next year, it's gonna be henrique, zajac, kovalchuk and a very very good defense that gets us where we need to be. if parise is part of it, all the better. 10.1/70.1 - take the under and he's here.
"They're the ones that makes it happen," Lemaire said. "It's not us. It's not me. It's not the other guy. It's not the guy before. It's not the guy after. It's them. And they have to take care of business."

This season has proved that all you have to do is be decent in the regular season, decent enough to get into the playoffs, and that being hot at the right time with a good team is better than being cold at the wrong time with an amazing team.
That's always been the case!
Posted 12 June 2012 - 08:26 AM
The latter half of the 20th century Devils taught me that it's not so sucky to be on top and fighting to stay there either. I loved that lesson. But this is ... it's life to me. Marty is just so blessed -- it's unbelievable.
I feel like the Rangers fans who are posting how sad Marty is now... what are they thinking? That it's true? They're just so far off the mark of reality --- part of me honestly wonders how they can have decent lives, you know? If their vision is so skewed, so limited -- if they're for real? Thisis why I'd never be able to really have meaningful relations friendship whatever with a Rangers fan like that. I miss Derek. and I also think we can be real a$$holes when we don't give Derek-like Rangers props when they're really close to getting a real hockey team on ice. There are fatal flaws but their improving only makes out team better and makes hockey better.
The only annoying thing for me about the Kings win is the as shoes (as shoes... nice apple -- nice euphemism for butthole %@#$* I hate autocorrect) who think they've earned this. The Flyers trio for example. I don't give a fun (a fun? That was my grandmothers euphemism...) about on ice stuff if your off ice behavior sucks -- because it's not sustainable and you fvck EVERYTHING up the next year. BUT I'm really happy for some guys who really put in the effort for HOCKEY not themselves. Chances are the fvckwads doing all the jawing are the unworthy.

This season has proved that all you have to do is be decent in the regular season, decent enough to get into the playoffs, and that being hot at the right time with a good team is better than being cold at the wrong time with an amazing team.
I just want to amend the train of thought --- it's not just being decent... it's allowing flaws taking chances making a choice you think is brilliant in game situation so you see how actually stupid you are and that you have to trust people. It's for the sake of learning. Making mistakes before it's too late. Some things you can only learn in real life situations. you can't replicate the pressure of being on the brink of a historic come-back to win the Stanley Cup.... but lots of the little stuff -- you can figure out how to squeak out a win or how you'll handle something when it hits you full-on, on steroids in the playoffs.
No the regular season is not about winning and losing - it's about preparing.

But it'll put it into perspective a bit more when people here scream "MUST WIN" for a game against the rangers in October.That's always been the case!
Our best player, Kovalchuk, wasn't.Assuming we are healthy. I consider us to have been fairly lucky with injuries, despite Tallinder and Zajac. They were there when it mattered the most.

If Parise comes back I can see this team being better next year with improved play from Josefson, Henrique, and Larsson. But I don't expect them to improve enough to counter the loss of Parise. Also, I loved Marty's postseason run. But there's still a decent chance he's horrible next year. I'd be surprised if the Devils missed the playoffs but a juggernaut seems overly optimistic.

Its impressive that he managed 19pts, imagine if he was 100%.There when it mattered the most = playoffs, not just the final. He was invisible in the final but not the first three rounds.
I thought Kovy was great during the Flyers and Rangers series, and we must remember that he had key assists throughout the playoffs. He had primary assists (two amazing passes) for Zajacs and Ponis ot winners and he had the key hit on the Carter game winning goal. Hell, he even helped cause that puck go underneath Henriks pads for Henrique to bury it. I thought he had an amazing playoffs.

Its been fantastic seeing Brodeur respond during FLA and have a great run. Sal may be good this fall, but perhaps not. Elias has at most 50 goals left in his career, over the next 2 seasons.
If we're realistic, then we can be surprised when a Sykora nets 20, or a Clarkson gets 30. I for one hope we go a bit younger.
But that's for October, until July 1 it will be great to enjoy the accomplishments of this season

+ Save To Wishlist
Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 41
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FootballJVMV Light, Nice Looking, Great Grip
First off, the lightest cleats I've ever worn, hands down. You feel like your running on air after transitioning from heavier Nike ones.
Weight of your cleats does matter; don't believe me, put on 0.5 pound ankle weights and try sprinting. Just the slightest amount of extra weight could easily be the difference between a touchdown and loss of yards.
They look as excepted, with an awesome sleek, polished feel. Traction is great as well, however, even the Nike land sharks would prevent you from slipping. The major difference from other cleats is by far the lightness of them.
As far as padding and comfortably go, its really sub-par. The less weight means less material, so except some blisters and bruises on your feet until you really break them in. Something I would recommend is just wearing them in the house when your sitting down watching TV or doing homework, allowing them to mold to your feet.
They're generally narrow around the front of your foot, but this problem will diminish as you use them more.
April 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by islander20 very light
I love these cleats I wore them for a couple of practices and they are really comfortable. I ran a 40 yard dash the other day and these cleats make a big difference than any other cleat. they run a little big so I prefer you to get a size smaller than you usually get. they really don't hurt when you break them in. overall these cleats are really good for skill position people but since there so low I recommend double socking or spat your cleats.
May 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Ultimate Uncomfortable to the point of injury
Intended usage was for playing Ultimate. I'm fast and quick player and excited about the thought of these shoes giving me even greater speed advantage, but I'm too concerned about injuring myself. The hard inflexible upper squishes my toes whenever I cut and does nothing for my slight turf toe. I thought maybe they needed breaking in, but after a few games they're no more comfortable and I can't afford it any longer. Recovery time for my feet alone has caused me to skip games. That said, the spike plate is nice and there didn't seem to be an pressure points. I still wouldn't recommend these.

Great Shoe, has a great sole and can move very well in the on all kinda of cuts, to be honest i really love the first generation Adizero, this one is a bit higher on the ankle but is still light and works just as good but i i believe the other cleat leather is much better and bends better around the foot, but all and all is a great cleat and worth buying, and fits true to size.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Coach T's Son Adizero Cleats
My son has stated that he really likes the fit and lightweight cleat. It may be a mental issue but he "feels" fast while wearing them.
His friends have commented that they would be concerned about rolling an ankle in the shoe since they are lightweight. My son, however, does not believe that he will have any problems.
Everyone agrees on one topic- the shoe is a style that they all like!

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 41
Rated 4 out of 5Â by adsfasdf Pretty good.
Overall very good shoe. It takes quite a bit to break in for me (almost a month), but what I love about the cleats is its ability to let you accelerate incredibly fast. I had vapor carbons and I feel faster in the adizeros. There's no cushioning but I'm not complaining cause it's supposed to be like that. Kind of run thins for me though. I had no problems with slipping or stability.
September 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Woody28 Bad product
Very light weight but after breaking them in they started to pinch the top of my foot where the shoe naturally bends. After the first day of two a days I can't even wear them anymore cuz I have a blister from the shoe pinching the top of my foot. Would not recommend these cleats, stick with cleats made from clothe and not hard material like these cleats.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by yesandno12 great item
Got here fast, great condition, very light weight
April 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JMuscat Very light with one flaw
These shoes are hands down the lightest and fastest cleats I have ever worn, however, they have very little cushion and protection. You may get blisters depending on your drill/position, and I play WR so I get many blisters on my big toes because of making hard cuts. Despite the blisters however, these cleats have the VERY BEST grip I have ever used and the triangular studs allow for precise cuts in any direction. To solve the padding/blisters issue, I wear cushioned socks, which somewhat help with the blisters. Also you could double your socks, which I don't prefer, but is comfortable on some people. Also, if you play DB or maybe LB you may want to tape or spat to help with ankle protection because it offers little ankle support and you have to make precision cuts at unexpected times and unexpected directions. Overall, this is a great cleat that has few issues, which can be easily resolved. I would definitely recommend these to any skill position player that wanted an extra speed boost.
July 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Gabe95 Cant use for kicking.
I had these cleats for less than three weeks. I played one game in them and the toe cleat ripped down the sole. I payed $110 for them and they ripped. Adidas ensures quality in their products, but I did not see that here. I am a running back and a kicker.
September 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by G Smith Seem like a good deal, but are not for everyone
The shoes feel very synthetic, the material is hard and folds pretty horribly by the inside of the foot. Also, they run very tight, I tried 1/2 size bigger and still could not fit them with soccer socks and shin guards with ankle protectors
November 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nicky J nice if not ultra high end
So light and simple these remind me of soccer cleats. Materials not quite up to a high end Nike boot but the sole is much more flexible. Comfortable shoe out of the box and the grip is solid too. I really like the symmetrical cleat pattern.

The Freeport Library Board of Trustees and the Village Board of Trustees continue to wrangle over how to address the water problems that threaten to damage the children's wing, the main meeting room and the exhibit area of the main library building. Library Director Dave Qpatow told The Leader tfiat a report issued by architect Lee Sagistano of LAS recommended the roof be replaced. "There are two roofs up there [one on top of the other] including asbestos." Library board President Darleyne Mayers, in a statement made to the village Board of Trustees, said that water "threatens the books and computers [in the children's room]. In the meeting room, there is an expensive ceiling mounted projector and a valuable piano, both at risk from water damage." The library has received a $51,500 grant from the Nassau Library System to help defray the estimated cost of $189,000 to replace the roof. The village would be responsible for the remaining $131,000. ; FIXING A HOLE?

On Monday, January 25,, the Freeport Library held a job fair beneath a leaking roof, library officials said. But a statement from Mayor Hardwick said, "We have never been called to the library when they saw a leak and to date we have not seen a leak. As recent as Monday, January 25, with high winds and heavy rain, we found no leaks in the library roof." In a letter sent to Mayor Hardwick, library board President Mayers urged him to reconsider funding in the budget for a roof for the library. "We share your vision pf Freeport as a place where people may take pride; however, under your administration, for the first time in over 125 years of proud service, the Freeport Memorial Library appears unkempt and shabby. Is this how you want other communities to view Mrs. Freeport?" The mayor remains steadfast. "We're here to help when we can, but we must always be mindful of taxpayers' money."

Whats up Sportsfans ~ Joined The NAVY!
Hey all. As most of you know, I joined the Navy in April 2012. I am now pleased to say I made E-3 (Airman) a little early. I'm on the USS Dwight D Eisenhower and we're currently out to sea for a bit. Well, an update, I made 9 months with my girlfriend Sunday, my transfer case in the truck finally went out and locked up. Um I'm catching airplanes on the flight deck with the arresting gear. Its fun, just sucks being away from home but thats how it goes. Can't wait to get back and have my woman and the truck up in Norfolk and meet some people. Airman Riley signing off. Take care guys

Steve liked this post04-26-2013, 10:48 AM #2Sounds like all is going good for the most part.
Congrats on E-3, you studying for third class and Surface Warfare now?
Working the deck during flight ops is probably one of the most dangerous jobs you could find, and probably one of the most exciting. Cyclic ops with 12-on 12-off wear you out fast but the days pass by real quick and before you know it the deployment is over.
At least your on a good ship, I always liked the Ike she has a steady deck during blue water ops.Last edited by Steve; 06-21-2013 at 10:04 AM.

If you decide to stay in longer that warfare pin will be important, dual pins would help even more.
Are you an ABH? I have a friend ay work that was an AB in the hanger deck on Ike during her early 2000's overhaul, he got out right before the first at sea period and now regrets never taking her to sea for at least the work-ups.
Just remember your keeping all of us at home safe and we appreciate your sacrafices.

Fall has always represented something special. For many it means cool evenings, crisp days, changing leaves and full schedules. I remember my mother taking me shopping for the illustrious outfit for the first day in September, buying supplies and planning the fall activities.
These last few weeks have been quite busy in the schools as we ready to open our doors next week. Yet, it seems like only yesterday we were saying goodbye to the students releasing them for those long summer days filled with outdoor activities. Despite the intense heat of the summer much has taken place in the district.
Last spring we announced that the school day would be extended by ten instructional minutes per day. At the Middle/High school we will end the day at 2:10. At Deer Hill we will end the day at 2:40. At Osgood we will end the day at 3:20. Bus schedules have been adjusted accordingly. We recognize that the day is extended but we feel the students will benefit from the added instructional time. Additionally, half days will also end ten minutes later than in previous years.
Our principals, Mrs. Carolyn Connolly, Dr. Jennifer deChiara, and Mr. Robert LeCount, have gone to extraordinary lengths to hire talented faculty and staff to teach in the buildings. This summer we hired eighteen teachers along with a number of staff to help educate our students and operate our buildings. I ask that you join me in welcoming the following individuals.

Since the arrival of Mr. Robert Bonnell - Chief Technology Officer for the Town of Cohasset, he has worked tirelessly to bring the town technologically into the twenty-first century. When students return to the Middle and High School, they will find new computer labs with state of the art equipment. Deer Hill, too, will be ready with all rooms equipped with computers, projectors and document cameras. Osgood will be completed during the first few months of the school year. All classroom teachers at the Middle and High School have been issued laptops this fall. This is in preparation for the 1:1 initiative that is being proposed for the fall of 2014. None of this could have taken place without Mr. Bonnell's expertise and the assistance of the student help desk he created this summer. A group of high school students assisted Mr. Bonnell throughout the district ensuring that all equipment was installed to specification. It is hard to believe that in just sixteen months we have moved to state of the art computer rooms and equipment.
This year will begin the administration of the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) exams. The plan by the state is to replace the MCAS exams with the PARCC assessment. We are scheduled to begin testing in the spring. Part of the requirements for completion of the assessments includes a specific ratio for computers to students. We have met the requirements. We will continue to monitor the roll out of the PARCC assessments and update you regularly.
Common Core will be a large part of the districts initiatives. We have spent the last year preparing for this fall. Mrs. Demas, the Director of Curriculum and Instruction, has put forward a herculean effort to ensure that principals and faculty are prepared to utilize the Common Core and that our instruction aligns with the federal and state guidelines.
This year the district will focus on the application of literacy in all content areas. With the many changes in curriculum requirements, testing agents and demands for equipping students for the twenty-first century, the district is working to align all curriculum through the implementation of literacy. We will work to align our programs so that students are equipped to read, comprehend, write and analyze complex text to derive meaning and make application. We will utilize essential questions, to help focus their learning. During the 2013-2014 school year, principals will be responsible for working with the faculty in their schools and reporting out regularly to ensure this goal is met.
Thanks to Representative Garrett Bradley, this summer we were awarded a $49,000 grant to work on security in our buildings. We are currently meeting with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to complete the paperwork. Simultaneously, we are working with the town manager, Mr. Michael Milanoski, Fire Chief, Mr. Robert Silvia, and Interim Deputy Police Chief, Mr. William Quigley. As plans are formulated, we will update you on any changes forthcoming.
I would be remiss in not thanking both the PSO and the CEF for all they do for our teachers and students. These volunteer organizations have raised hundreds of thousand of dollars to enhance and enrich the education of the Cohasset students. We are fortunate to have their creative minds and warm hearts working on behalf of the school district.
Lastly, this coming year we will redesign our website, finally. We want to make it user friendly so that you are able to complete much of your business through on-line links and downloads. Our desire is to allow the community 24-hour access to forms and documents. We believe that a new design will not only afford you the opportunity to access needed information, it will allow us to post up to the minute information, notices, and forms to help with family planning.
I want to welcome everyone back to school. While we all wish for a mild winter affording us a limited number of school closings due to inclement weather, the Farmer's Almanac is advising us otherwise. We hope they have miscalculated their numbers and we complete school as planned. In the meantime, if your schedule permits please join me at the PSO Superintendent's coffees scheduled periodically throughout this school year. I will make myself available on October 9th, January 8th, March 12th, and May 21st to have a discussion on a variety of topics. Keep watch for these announcements so you will know the time and location should you be able to join us. I look forward to seeing all the students next week.
Welcome back!
Barbara J. Cataldo
Superintendent of Schools

Message boards : SETI@home Science : If a real signal is found...
When Ms Jocelyn Bell found the first signal coming from what was later called a pulsar the first explanation coming to mind was that it was sent from "Little green men". Now Einstein@home is finding on average a radio pulsar every .week in data coming from Parkes and Arecibo, but also possibly from a gamma-ray satellite.So if SETI@home identifies a signal coming from some area in the sky in a constant, not random, manner it might also be caused by natural phenomena. Only if it can be shown to contain some form of message one could jump to the conclusion that it had an intelligent origin. Tullio ____________
We are using the Latin alphabet, but there other alphabets. Also, there are ideographic writing systems like Chinese, Korean and Japanese which are not alphabets.So, what would an alien use? Tullio ____________
We are using the Latin alphabet, but there other alphabets. Also, there are ideographic writing systems like Chinese, Korean and Japanese which are not alphabets.So, what would an alien use? Tullio
We sent a probe out into space many years ago telling the universe where we are plus some basic details about us. So staying in hiding would not make much sense here, would it.
The question is something of a paradox. If a signal is received and then deleted by mysterious men in black then we never know of a signal ergo because we can never prove there was such a signal, there is nothing science nor the scientific community can ever do to argue there ever was one. If we know who the mysterious men are, then they are not so mysterious and we would have the signal. For proof that signals do get reported then look at the wow signal, if these theories of signal interruption where true then I would imagine the wow signal should of disappeared not long after the wow signal came through.
The problem is that the question pre-supposes the existence of a "Men In Black" type team, for which there's no evidence to believe exists. The statement "...given the track record of the US Military with regards to the ET subject..." is a misleading one. The official track record is that they are not aware of any alien existence. Like all top-secret projects, the preparation for ET is always an on-going thing, so they will not comment on whatever intelligence they've gathered, but that doesn't imply that they have proof-positive of an alien existence here on Earth or elsewhere. Then there's the statement "I don't believe for 1 second that the US goverment wouldn't try to keep this sort of thing quiet", but there are more governments out there than the US government, and not all of them would co-operate with the US government on any alleged alien interactions. Indeed, other governments may not share the same alleged paranoia some believe our government has when it comes to public knowledge of aliens. The planet is too large and there's too many people to ever attempt to hide alien visitations to our planet. In all, the entire question itself is self-defeating logic and, no offense, pointless. While our government might be collecting any sort of data they can, there's no reason to believe they would hide it from the public. It would be a proud moment for mankind, and I don't see any reason why they would keep it hidden (or even try to).
no need to worry or wonder for now.....nothing is going to happen until they start, at least, looking at the data that is being sent in by us crunchers. ____________

Bitcoin - A Cost-Benefit Analysis
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 17:03David Woo's earlier discussion of the 'maximum' fair value for Bitcoin, we thought his colleague Ian Gordon's view on the advantages and disadvantages of the virtual currency were worth noting. Woo believes Bitcoin can become a major means of payment for e-commerce and may emerge as a serious competitor to traditional money transfer providers. As a medium of exchange, Bitcoin has clear potential for growth, in his view, but its high volatility, a result of speculative activities, is hindering its general acceptance as a means of payments for on-line commerce...

Deutsche Bank Exits Commodity Trading, Fires 200
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 16:33It is amazing what a few short months of intense regulatory scrutiny, a few multi-billion fines, and the occasional janitorial arrest can do to fraudulent bank business lines. First, recall that as we showed a week ago, and as we have been saying for the past five years, banks were recently "found" to manipulate, in a criminal sense, pretty much everything. Then recall that yesterday the European Union lobbed the biggest monetary fine in history against bank cartel behavior, with the guiltiest party, at least based on monetary amounts, being Deutsche Bank. So now that outsized profits as a result of illegal "trading" become virtually impossible to procure, what is a self-respectable criminal enterprise to do? Why shut down all formerly infringing lines of business of course. Which is what Deutsche Bank just did, which announced a few hours ago that it has pulled the plug on its global commodities trading business, cutting 200 jobs in the process (200 jobs that will certainly be able to find a job in a jurisdiction where criminal trading behavior is still not as intensely scrutinized).

Stocks Tank 5 Days-In-A-Row As 52-Week Lows Reach 3-Month High
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 16:16"Good news" once again proved the undoing of the equity market (which some bright spark on TV said "has priced in the taper") and bonds and bullion also fell. Despite the ubiquitous late-day ramp to VWAP (thanks to to JPY selling and VIX stomping), equities closed red for the 5th day in a row for the first time since mid-September. Perhaps most notably, new 52-week lows reached its highest in almost 4 months. Volume was above average yet again as Treasuries saw yields hammered higher with the belly underperforming +4.5bps as 7Y broke above 2.20% to near-3-month highs. The USD sold off - driven more by EUR strength as Draghi disappointed in his jawboning - which proved to stumble all the carry trades as USDJPY moved back below 102. Gold and Silver were volatile but ended the day lower. VIX closed back over 15% for the first time in over 2 months and its reaching extreme inverted levels for 2013 into tomorrow's all-important NFP print.

What Does It Take To Be Middle Class?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 15:06By standards of previous generations, the middle class has been stripmined of income, assets and purchasing power. So what does it take to be middle class nowadays? A recent paper used Census data to discuss what sort of income it takes to qualify as middle class but income is not the only the metric - indeed, it can be argued that 12 other factors are more telling measures of middle class membership than income.

Nikkei Futures Tumble 800 Points As JPY Strengthens And "Beta" Soars
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 14:18Confirming the stocks-are-just-high-beta-FX meme, Japanese stocks in the Nikkei 225 have collapsed 800 points in the last 2 days as JPY began to strengthen against the USD (on better data bringing taper talk and potential capital outflows as hot money chases something else). Relative to the initial 4 months of Abenomics which saw a 'beta' of 2.3 NKY points per USDJPY pip; the last week's "beta" of 5 Nikkei points per 1 pip in USDJPY, the leverage is starting to get out of hand (with a correlation of 0.965).

French President Warns Of Immediate Military Intervention Hours After Reporting Soaring Unemployment
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 14:04While we are sure it is just a coincidence that hours after his nation reports record and soaring unemployment rates, French President Hollande announces a doubling of troops in Central African Republic (CAR) deciding to "intervene immediately" after the UN authorization, adding "this intervention will be quick. It has no vocation to last and I'm sure it will be a success,"
The US State Department "welcomes France's decision to reinforce its military presence," adding that, the US is "appalled by today's reports of the murder of innocent women and children outside of Bangui."

Those "Too Big To Stay In Jail" Walk: The "GE Three" Go Free
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 13:45It wasn't long after three former General Electric Co. executives were convicted of rigging auctions for municipal-bond investment contracts that they received the ultimate sendoff: A 7,400-word torching in Rolling Stone magazine by Matt Taibbi, the writer who branded Goldman Sachs Group Inc. with the nickname "vampire squid." "Someday, it will go down in history as the first trial of the modern American mafia," Taibbi began his June 2012 opus about Dominick Carollo, Steven Goldberg and Peter Grimm. "Over 10 years in the making, the case allowed federal prosecutors to make public for the first time the astonishing inner workings of the reigning American crime syndicate, which now operates not out of Little Italy and Las Vegas, but out of Wall Street." Then came a surprise last week, right before Thanksgiving. A federal judge ordered the men released from prison.

Trouble For Treasurys, The Technicals Tell
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 13:28Treasuries are resuming their bear trend, with 10yr yields pushing above 2.839%, the Nov-21 high and BofAML's MacNeil Curry warns "Treasuries are in trouble." They continue to target a break of 3.00% in the sessions ahead. This is the September/3m range highs. However, they are most focused on 5yr yields and TYH4 (10Y March futures). Remember, Curry cautions, with the MOVE Index turning higher, Treasuries are moving into a more volatile environment. Price action in the next week or so could be explosive. Of coursem while the trend (and consensus) is your friend in this view, given the Fed's dominant position, there is always the chance of a short squeeze.

US Teacher Killed In Benghazi
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 12:39While hardly as prominent as a killed ambassador and a storming of a US consulate, things in Libya continue to disintegrate with the latest news that a 33-year old US citizen who was a teacher in an English-language school and who described himself online as "Libya's best friend", was shot and killed by gunmen in Benghazi. NYT reports that the man, who residents said had worked at the International School in Benghazi, was out jogging in the upscale Fuwayhat neighborhood when he was attacked. One person who claimed to have witnessed the shooting said the gunmen had been driving a black jeep.

Bruce Lee And The Stock Market
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 11:16The Hong Kong branch of Spink & Son, a British firm originally founded in the mid-1600s, was putting a series of Bruce Lee memorabilia under the hammer. When the bidding for the first lot opened, the price immediately surpassed the auctioneer's initial estimates. It was a frenzy. Now, we know that modern auctions are supposed to be a pure form of the free market– buyers from around the world meeting for the purpose 'price discovery', with the item eventually going to the highest bidder. Further, economists and university finance often teach that such markets are 'efficient', meaning that prices always reflect the most relevant information and are hence an accurate reflection of an asset's value. But in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. The auction was an emotional frenzy. It's not an efficient market. It's full of fear, euphoria, and aggression. The stock market is the same way. Even though just about every rational metric suggests that many global markets (especially the US) are absurdly overvalued, emotional investors keep bidding prices up.

BofAML Sees Bitcoin Fair Value At $1300
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/05/2013 - 10:41Bitcoin could become a major means of payment for e-commerce and may emerge as a serious competitor to traditional money-transfer providers, BofAML notes in a report today, adding that as a medium of exchange, Bitcoin has clear potential for growth, in our view. Despite Greenspan's inability to find "value", BofAML prefers not to call the crypto currency a bubble, and assigns a maximum fair-value of $1,300, but does warn that the 100 fold increase in Bitcoin prices this year is at risk of running ahead of its fundamentals.

There were other threads about the pumice, but thanks for this article which explains where it came from. I made a prediction last year, for an eruption at 179/33 degrees, in between the Kermadec Islands and New Zealand. This one occurred at 179/31 degrees. ;)
Wow, I listened to this find on the national radio service this morning, its nice to to view the graphics of event, just recently there has been lots of plate movement, earthquakes, and volcanic activity in our part of the planet, was surprised TV news never mentioned a word of it. Thanks for posting op
Close, will the TAB pay out on that in OZ? Pretty damn close I say, it pool it would probably sink the ball anyway so I will give you that one, good enough for me.

Shit, I forgot to put my bet on :( You don't want the rest of the vision to occur. It was a tsunami for both NZ and Oz, so the eruption is not over yet, if it all plays out. However, the bit about the pumice being white is weird. Maybe that is symbolic. I wasn't actually shown an eruption, it felt more like it was some kind of ejection. Made me think it could have been anything from energy to lava, or whatever else there can be inbetween. A new island isn't out of the question either.
My friend in Wellington said it is still smelling of sulfur today, even more so than before. They say the volcano on the mainland is releasing large amounts of sulfur. Hoping she will post a link tomorrow to that info.

Dusten Brown has no heart here... I can't believe he had the nerve to go after a couple who lovingly had the baby for first 2 and half years of her life only to take her away thanks to your stupid Cherokee law!
Supreme Court Agrees to Consider 'Baby Veronica' Case
On Friday the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will review the 'Baby Veronica' adoption case.
The custody case pertains to a 3-year-old Cherokee girl born in Oklahoma in 2009 to an unwed couple, the non-Native Christina Maldonado and Dusten Brown, an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation. Without the father's consent, Maldonado agreed to pre-adoptive placement. When Brown learned of the adoption, he immediately sought custody of Veronica, who was living with the adoptive couple, South Carolina residents Matt and Melanie Capobianco.
On December 28, 2011, the South Carolina Appellate Court ruled the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) trumped state law. On New Year's Eve, Brown took his daughter home to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, a neighboring city of the Tahlequah-based Cherokee Nation.
The Capobiancos requested the state's supreme court reconsider the case, and on July 26, the court upheld Veronica's return, noting the family has "a deeply embedded relationship" with its heritage. On August 23, the court denied the couple's appeal for a rehearing.
The attorney of the adoptive parents submitted a 142-page petition in October arguing the Supreme Court justices should rehear the case to clarify how the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act should be interpreted, according a White House blog.
"At issue in the case is the definition of 'parent' under the federal law, including whether that includes an unwed father who only belatedly claimed parental rights," the blog states.
The highly publicized custody battle has been hotly debated on CNN and the Dr. Phil Show, which the National Indian Child Welfare Association criticized as heavily slanted toward the Capobiancos' recounting of the situation and misrepresenting of both her loving, biological father and the ICWA.
An Indian adoption case testing the strength of the ICWA has been reviewed only once previously by the highest court. In 1989, the US. Supreme Court sided with Mississippi's Choctaw tribe, which challenged an adoption of twins. In a recent TV interview with Charlie Rose, Justice Antonin Scalia said that case has been the most challenging decision he has made in his more than two decades of serving on the Supreme Court.
"I found that very hard. But that's what the law said, without a doubt," Justice Scalia said.
If the petitioning parent had
If the petitioning parent had been a white woman, then the matter would have been quickly resolved in favor of the petitioning parent. However, this is a red man who is seeking custody of his child so his chances are slim and none with Slim having left town. The US Supreme Court may do the right thing in a case that has been adjudicated ad nauseum but one never knows.
I think she should be with
I think she should be with her biological father. It would be different if he were found to be unfit. A child, no matter their ethnic heritage, should always be with their biological family if there are no risks to the child. I think the adoptive parents need to do what is right by this little girl. He looks like he really loves her.
this is a very personal issue
this is a very personal issue to me . if the natural father has come forward to raise his daughter and the law has upheld his rights let it stand as that . indian children need to be raised as such even with mixed blood to understand who they are
To the person who called this
To the person who called this stupid Cherokee law .,....this is federal law!!! For hundreds of years native children have been removed from their parents...
It is my understanding that
It is my understanding that Dusten Brown was unaware of the actions of the mother, and I see nothing wrong with a father wanting to be father. Society frowns on those that abandon their children and Child Protective Services take children away from their families for years at a time before returning them with feelings for the foster families that have "a deeply embedded relationship." t is about whats best for the child and if Mr. Brown is able to provide all the basic necessities that the adoptive parents were providing, then I say Veronica should be with her biological father. Indian Child Welfare Act or not.
How can you say this man has
How can you say this man has no heart. Women who do not inform the father they are pregnant and send their OWN child off to strangers without giving the father a chance to be a parent is heartless.
We all know why this law was
We all know why this law was enacted!!!! Way too many native children were flat out taken away and placed elsewhere. They had no history, roots, family or tribe to support them. Many felt lost when they became adults and didn't know why. I am sorry but a tribe is important in a childs life. Native families are close. Why in the hell do white people alway think they are better or know more than a native? I will tell you, I am white but raised around many different tribes in the 13 western states. I fought for this law, also. I had many friends that suffered horribly because they felt left out, felt alone, felt sad when they were placed in the white world. My kids were raised by me in the white world but ALWAY kept in contact with their family and tribe and with their dad and aunts and uncles. They have roots in that nation. Kids are taught things daily from native parents. Just because the white world doesn't think those things are important, believe me they are. From the first breath to the last they are native. You bet, I want this to go to court. I want the truth out there so whites and others understand the reason for this law. Many babies and children were taken away from single moms or were given up without input from the biological father and that is wrong. I have boycotted Dr. Phil's show since the showing of this mess and felt Dr. Phil had no idea what the hell he was talking about when it comes to natives. They love their children!!!! What the hell is wrong with people? This childs dad should be in her life!!!!
Dustin Brown HAS a heart and
Dustin Brown HAS a heart and a child of his own. How dare you! This is the exact reason for the law! To PROTECT native children from what has happened to this sweet child!
Dusten Brown has every right
Dusten Brown has every right to have his child and raise her in the Cherokee tradition. It is nice that there are people who take in children when needed but in this case where the biological father wants his child back and raise her in the tradition of his family, especially since she was taken without his consent, It should be granted. What most people don't understand with the Native culture is that the whole family including and up to grandparents play a very important role in raising the child. This man is not going to be alone in raising her. She will be showered with loving caring parents. It's society that thinks they can do better just because they think their way is better. Do you think it would be the same if it were a puerto rican or Jewish or german.. NO because society has stigmatized Native Americans as poor illiterate beings, Which is just the opposite.. There are more Native American groups that support the Go green projects, taking care of our Earth to preserve what we have and prevent further destruction. Charity groups are head by a lot of Native Americans as well as a sober lifestyle for those who have addictions. Family and culture are very strong in the Native American populations Ihave had the plasure to work closely with. She is his flesh and blood. It doesn't get any closer than that. Put yourself in his shoes. If someone took your baby without your consent, wouldn't you fight to get him/her back?
I stand behind Dusten on this
I stand behind Dusten on this, he had no say in it but the baby is still his either way you look at it. If those judges rule in the other family's favor than I will lose all faith in the justice system because they are a bunch of crooks. The father and the baby are both Cherokee so leave Dusten and the baby alone and let them live in their Native ways. The US Supreme Court should do the right thing and let the baby live with her biological father and not with some random white family that knows nothing about Native Cherokee culture.
Veronica is Dusten Brown's
Veronica is Dusten Brown's daughter. He loves her and has fought for her. If I am not mistaken, some of the delay was due to his being in the military as well as not finding out Veronica's mother was even pregnant. I hope he succeeds in his case.
To the commenter who said Mr.
To the commenter who said Mr. Brown has no heart and "has the nerve..." The article said he never gave consent for the adoption, was unaware, and when he found out about the child he immediately filed to have the child placed with him. The article does not say he took 2 1/2 or 3 years. The article says the appellate court granted him custody approximately 2 years after she was born. If that's the appellate court, then obviously he filed suit and a trial dragged on at the lower court level. THEN the case went through the appellate court process and then finally Mr. Brown was awarded custody. How about the couple has no heart to challenge the ruling, when the father of the child was originally not informed and did not give consent for the child to be adopted.
Why say anything if you are
Why say anything if you are posting "Anonymous"? Keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. You don't know him. He has his daughter back and that is what is right. If the mother was a woman she should have told him that he was going to be a father and let him decide if he wanted custody of his child. No thanks needed for Native Law. You are an intruder here so shut up.
He didn't want the child,
He didn't want the child, then had her taken from the safety of the only home she's known. It's child abuse.
Look at that baby girl, she
Look at that baby girl, she favors her father. I am so sorry the biological mother did not identify the baby as part native. The ICWA is a law for a good reason. To the adoptive parents: spend your money to adopt a non-Indian child. Stop putting this child and her biological father in the court system. The decision to return the child to her Indian father will not be reversed. You are only adding to the heartache you experienced when the truth about the child's true ethnicity was revealed. Indian children belong with an Indian family.
Mr. Brown had every right to
Mr. Brown had every right to take Veronica. The adoptive parents should let her go and be allowed to have supervised visitation rights. The law is the law.
Dustin Brown is not Native
Dustin Brown is not Native American, he is Caucasian. This is obvious. Therefore, the federal law does not apply in this case.

Tom Izzo's admiration for Ed Hightower a reminder that refs are human, too
Yahoo Sports1 day agoAfter 36 years as a college basketball referee, 32 of them in the Big Ten, it isn't easy for Ed Hightower to experience something new on the court. After 34 years as a college basketball coach, the last 19 of them as the headman at Michigan State, the same applies for Tom Izzo.
Yet here the two of them were Tuesday, on the floor of the Breslin Center, a timeout with two minutes and change left in a Spartan blowout victory of North Florida. Izzo went to the scorer's table, grabbed the microphone and ventured them into unchartered waters.
This was Hightower's final game in East Lansing. The 62-year-old is retiring after games this weekend at Nebraska and Iowa. Izzo wanted to acknowledge a good ref and a better man – a devoted husband and father, not to mention teacher, principal and now superintendent of public schools in downstate Illinois.
Izzo barely got the words of appreciation out though before his voice began cracking and he started choking up. When he was done, he flopped down on the bench nearly in tears. The emotion had overwhelmed him.
"Yeah, it did," Izzo said Friday.
President sends right statement by including two gay athletes in Sochi Games delegation
Yahoo Sports4 days agoPresident Obama on Tuesday announced the members of the U.S. official delegation to Sochi, Russia, for next year's Winter Olympics.
The message sent, based on both who is and who isn't going, is as obvious as a Siberian winter.
In a bit of Cold War passive aggressiveness, and one that will add spark to the two nations' sporting rivalry, the United States will send no high-ranking government officials to attend the Games.
The delegation will, however, include two openly gay former athletes in an obvious condemnation of Russia's recently passed legislation that banned "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations."
That law is seen as part of a far-reaching anti-gay crackdown in Russia that has received considerable international condemnation in the run up to the Olympics.
Tennis great Billie Jean King will be part of the group that attends the high-profile, Feb. 7, 2014, opening ceremonies. Caitlin Cahow, a two-time medalist in ice hockey, will be present for the Feb. 23 closing ceremonies. Both are openly gay.
As Lions' stars Stafford and Megatron fade, Baltimore shows what it means to 'Play Like A Raven'
Dan Wetzel at Yahoo Sports5 days agoDETROIT – The sign features white letters with purple trim on a black background. It's stuck, courtesy of gray duct tape, to a slab of cardboard that is crudely cut from an old flattened box.
It isn't much. It isn't fancy. It doesn't seem like something befitting the defending Super Bowl champions.
Then again, that's part of the message, part of the Baltimore Ravens culture that when you find yourself wallowing at 4-6 in the midst of a bust of a season, it gets you to dig deep and rally for four consecutive victories. That includes this one on Monday, where six field goals, the last a final minute 61-yard Justin Tucker bomb, was enough to escape Detroit, 18-16.
How Texas can screw up its search for a new football coach
Yahoo Sports7 days agoIf you want to grasp part of the impact Mack Brown had on the University of Texas football program it's this – as the Longhorns look for his successor, most of the names currently being bantered about carry résumés that are a far cry from the one they hired 16 years ago.
Mack Brown was 80-69-1 overall when then-Longhorns athletic director DeLoss Dodds brought him in from North Carolina in 1997. Brown had finished in the top 10 exactly twice in 13 seasons as a head coach. His Tar Heels were known for their improvement, yes, but also their inability to beat elite Florida State. They were good. They weren't truly great.
Some of the numbers, of course, don't tell the story – Brown inherited bottomed-out programs at Tulane and UNC and built them up. There was little doubt he was a strong coach, as his time at UT, including a BCS national title in 2005, would prove.
Yet this wasn't the present-day Nick Saban with four BCS titles, seen as the birthright hire for so many Texas alums, fans, regents, politicians, professors, oil barons and unaware ne'er-do-wells who think they are running this job search.
Nick Saban staying at Alabama, and was there ever really a good reason to leave?
Yahoo Sports8 days agoFor Nick Saban, the annual college football coaching carousel has left him exactly where he always said it would … at the University of Alabama.
Saban and the school agreed to a new contract Friday night, after a week of breathless speculation and even at least one sort-of media report that he would succeed Mack Brown as the head coach at Texas. Brown, it turns out, is still on the job and may remain there.
Texas had little to do with this, however. Saban, who just finished his seventh season with the Tide, was never really going anywhere. At most, his agent used the buzz about the Longhorns for a slightly richer deal than the one Alabama was already going to give him. He reportedly will go from $5.6 million per year to more than $7 million. That's about it.
"Quite frankly," Saban said back in September when the Texas talk began, "I'm just too darn old to start over somewhere else."
Bloodied, victorious Niners already eyeing potential third showdown vs. Seahawks
Yahoo Sports13 days agoSAN FRANCISCO – Atop the considerably sized left shoulder of 49ers safety Donte Whitner was a noticeable amount of blood, just pooled up and sitting there.
There didn't appear to be an open cut. The blood wasn't flowing. It was just present. This wasn't an injury, per se. It was a wound, like, after 60 merciless minutes of a 19-17 victory over the archrival Seattle Seahawks, his body was just too worn out to keep all essential fluids inside of it.
Whitner stood in front of his locker, stretched his neck to take a look at it and just shrugged.
"I don't know," he said. "It looks like something. I have a couple on my legs too … I'm busted up. I feel like I played linebacker."
There are no easy games in the NFL. There are no postgame locker rooms without bruised and beaten men. That's the sport. That's the business.
Yet Sunday the NFL's most intense rivalry arrived here and with it came another level of physicality, intensity and, indeed, brutality. Adding to the nastiness was cold, raw and unrelenting weather.
Auburn deserves to be No. 1 after definitive SEC title win
Yahoo Sports14 days agoATLANTA – When the final BCS standings are unveiled Sunday, Auburn shouldn't be ranked No. 2 behind Florida State.
The Tigers should be No. 1.
This isn't just because it won the Southeastern Conference championship on Saturday by running away from a spirited Missouri team, 59-42. That's part of it – the victory represents their second over a team ranked in the top five of the BCS standings. It means nothing more than that however.
This is an argument for résumé, an argument for logic and critical thinking, an argument here in the final year of the BCS to step out of last century and embrace reality. This certainly isn't about putting the SEC on a pedestal because winning the SEC isn't enough to assume the top spot in the rankings and a spot in the BCS title game.
Chris Petersen's move to Washington was a matter of better fit over glamour job
Yahoo Sports15 days agoAfter seemingly saying no to any and every powerhouse with a job opening in recent years – and that doesn't count the fact he probably could've gotten a few guys fired immediately if he wanted – Chris Petersen decided Friday to leave Boise State for the University of Washington.
In Seattle, Petersen will replace Steve Sarkisian, who left to take the USC job, a position that Petersen likely turned down twice through the years.
That isn't how the dominos are supposed to fall on the annual college football parlor game of which job has the greener grass – in those discussions USC is always greener than UW. Of course, conventional wisdom had Petersen leaving Boise about five minutes after that Statue of Liberty play beat Oklahoma back in the Fiesta Bowl.
That was after the 2006 season. Eventually many just assumed he'd never leave.
State Attorney's clumsy attempt at humor during Jameis Winston announcement undermines gravity of decision
Dan Wetzel at Yahoo Sports16 days agoTALLAHASSEE, Fla. – William Meggs, the veteran State Attorney here, walked into a crowded news conference on the fourth floor of the Leon County Courthouse with a piece of hard candy in his mouth, scarlet colored stripes on the tie around his neck and a complete lack of self-awareness riffling through his mind.
Meggs was there to announce that his office would not level charges of sexual battery against Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, essentially calling allegations that Winston raped a fellow student nearly a year ago an unwinnable case because of myriad factors.
You didn't need to see the network news trucks parked outside to know this was an important moment not only in explaining a complex and emotional case that had gripped public discourse here, but also to present to the nation that this was a serious-minded community, not just a football-obsessed town willing to bend justice in pursuit of a national title.
It called for decorum, professionalism and tact. The female complainant deserved that. Jameis Winston deserved that. And the people of Tallahassee deserved that.
State attorney: Jameis Winston sexual battery case decision coming Thursday
Dan Wetzel at Yahoo Sports17 days agoFlorida state attorney William Meggs has scheduled a press conference at 2 p.m. ET Thursday in Tallahassee, Fla., to discuss his office's investigation into Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston on an allegation that he sexually assaulted a woman last year.
''We think we have exhausted all investigative tools,'' Meggs told The Associated Press. Winston's attorney Tim Jansen has maintained that sex between his client and the woman on the night in question was consensual and has offered affidavits from two witnesses that he says back up Winston's story. "We are waiting for the press conference. We have not been contacted by Mr. Meggs' office," Jansen texted Yahoo Sports. "We hope the investigation was complete and shows what really happened in December. Mr. Winston did nothing wrong."

Let's play the "what if" game
By TAYLOR MITCHELL
Sports Editor
All my life my favorite sport has been football. I watched it on television when I was kid, played it in junior high and high school and began covering the games in college. In fact, there was football on the TV in the delivery room when I was born (Miami-Notre Dame, 1988). Needless to say, I've learned a thing or two about the game.
One of those things is that turnovers can either win you the game or they can lose you the game. For Manchester Academy Friday night, turnovers lost the game. What makes this all the more interesting is the Mavericks forced Tri-County into three fumbles and one interception in the first half, including the first play of the game.
The Rebels were asking Manchester to win the game and in all fairness, the Mavericks should have won that game. Alas, we're sitting here discussing their 27-0 loss. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

ALL MODES OF FIRE ARE ALLOWED!!!! I am tired of answering this question!!!
Posted 07 July 2006 - 10:07 AM
The next thread that is started about Full auto, Response Trigger, or anything having to do with modes of fire will probably make my head explode, and may result in a forum suspension.
Posted 07 July 2006 - 10:18 AM
Does this mean I can use any mode of firing? {{{{{{BOOM}}}}}}
It did work!
It did work!
Posted 16 July 2006 - 10:58 AM
Head explosion count is at 2 now, if I get to five, I'm going to go on a rampage.
Posted 13 August 2006 - 12:59 PM
So I went to the doctor today to see if we could fix the exploding problem, and it turns out there is a medication for it, but the side-effects include steaming ears, and bloodshot eyes when that dreaded question is asked. It is an upgrade from exploding heads, thats for sure. I'm just glad I dont have to wear like a darth vader mask, even though that would just be awesomer.
Posted 13 August 2006 - 02:45 PM
If I was allowed to use full auto at HS, I would wear a Vader mask.
Posted 13 August 2006 - 04:20 PM
Dang the smoke billowing out of my ears is stinking up my house.
Posted 13 August 2006 - 06:41 PM
But the real question can you use both Response along with E-trigger at the same time? "scratches head"
Posted 14 August 2006 - 07:19 PM
What if I had a custom setup that used the Response trigger to bounce the e-grip into ramping mode. Would that be allowed?
Posted 15 August 2006 - 02:14 PM
I think it would be allowed only if the E-Grip battery size is equivalent to a 126.96.36.199 volt battery.
Posted 15 August 2006 - 05:09 PM
Nuts, I was going to use a car battery. Oh well, back to the drawing board. The new pressing question is where do I get more dirilium, tangenomeum and plutonium...

Gabagool! SiXXX, cover line-art drawing
I was unhappy with the drawings seen in the original version of the Angie Bongiolatti cover. I've been revisiting things, and think I've corrected the stuff that was bothering me. Here's a teaser. Hopefully the new, improved cover image will be something I'll have ready to share soon.

After a short break The Panthers are back in The Lair, talking about all the news that's new.

Don't sad-sack the place up, give a listen!
