Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Re: rankings dont mean shi%« on: March 31, 2005, 07:01:59 AM »
I agree with your formula Amanda, but it feeds on itself if you include rank as a factor. More selective = higher numbers = higher rank = employer interest = better job prospects = more selective = ...
I think as long as rank is a factor it will distort the evaluation of how good a school really is. Unless selectivity is removed from consideration. Maybe there could be two categories of rankings. One would be for quality of education one receives and the other for job prospects upon graduation. Or maybe job prospect data could be provided without factoring it into rank. I think if that kind of ranking system became popular, it would be a useful tool for employers who could be better assured of the quality of education of their new hires. Isn't that better than the current system, which is based on prestige and elitism? They just might hire more often from, say, Tulane than Georgetown (just a hypothetical example). Vermont and San Diego would get a deserved boost.
If you take out selectivity, you're left with how good of an education you get, for what that's worth. There seems to be a market for brand-name JDs. Maybe under an alternate ranking system the market would favor a quality education.
Also, I assumed this given: selectivity is one of the more manipulable factors of rank. Schools play with the numbers in order to move up and it's not actually related in itself to the quality of education the school provides. That's why it's inherently flawed as a factor in rank.

Acceptances / Re: Tulane's Recent Jump in Rankings« on: March 30, 2005, 05:59:59 AM »
Here is some relevant info from a Tulane faculty member responding to a few of my questions:
The jump back up to our normal position (late 30s, early 40s -- the prior year was an aberration for us) is due almost entirely to reducing our class size and obtaining a class with a slightly higher GPA. So, consider yourself part of the chosen! The curve is a "B" (3.0) curve, in exact terms, in any class with 21 or more J.D. students, the professor shall award no less than 60% and no more than 65% grades of B and above, and no more than 75% grades of B- and above. This means essentially you must be in the top 60-65% of the class.
As far as why Tulane "places better" in the East than the West (precisely 28% NE, 5% Midwest, 30% La., 1% international; 12% West; 24% other SE), from my own personal experience counseling students, it is a matter of choice. Many more students want to stay here or go to NY or DC than go to California. Those students who I have known who wanted to get back to California did. Actually, I think 12% out West is a fairly high number. One issue with California is that most places in California do not give job offers without bar passage and so that deters students who want more security. I can say with a fair degree of certainty that if you maintain a 3.0 or higher, you will be able to get back to California -- it is true that it may take a bit more work on your part than students who stay in Louisiana -- you may have to reach out a bit more, but the Career Office and professors here will support you in that effort.
Wait List / Re: You have GOT to be kidding me...Hastings« on: March 30, 2005, 05:49:28 AM »
i'm in with numbers inferior to yours. here's my theory. hastings (and a couple of other great schools) is on a sociological mission to provide legal education to people who have had significant challenges on their route to law school. in other words, urm or poor. i'm the latter. i think american is another one of these schools. i've said in other threads that i think they could rise significantly in the rankings if they were a bit less idealistic. their numbers certainly aren't going to go up if they accept, for example, me and reject people with numbers like yours, jules. good luck with the waitlist if hastings is where you really want to go. maybe i'll see you in class!

i would like to see a ranking that's as well-funded and widely available as USNWR but that eliminates selectivity as a factor. alternately, i'd like to se usnwr provide more data and make it manipulable so each user can determine the relative importance of each factor. maybe i'll do that instead of practicing law when i finish school!

KC Kimber: Dennis Peron was Wrong About Prop 19: Please Vote Yes
Chris Conrad debates Dragonfly de la Luz on Prop 19 (MP3 file).
Chris Conrad answers various online critics and explains why he will vote Yes Nov. 2 in HTML
By Chris Conrad, West Coast Leaf
The Secretary of State confirmed March 24 that the Control and Tax Cannabis initiative will be on the Nov. 2, 2010 ballot, the first non-medical use initiative to qualify in the state since the 1972 California Marijuana Initiative. The mere fact of cannabis being up for a vote with a slim majority of support among CA voters has stoked national and international media discussion of how legal adult cannabis use is to be regulated in the future.
The campaign is garnering a growing string of endorsements, which already includes the CA NAACP, political and union leaders, Oakland City Council, economists, and most cannabis reform groups. It is forming coalitions of physicians, attorneys, faith leaders and organizations, who are generating support for the initiative amongst their constituents.
Vocal opposition is led by lobbyist and spokesperson for the California Peace Officers Assn, John Lovell. The typical lineup of law enforcement, MADD, drug rehab companies, career politicians and fringe religious groups are coalescing under the banner, 'Public Safety First,' headed by the 'No On Prop 5' strategist Wayne Johnson.They have vowed to block the initiative, as have some dealers and illicit growers, so it is expected to be a close vote.
Campaign spokesperson Dale Clare said that Oaksterdam University founder and initiative sponsor Richard Lee made sure the measure protects existing medical use laws, winning the strong support of advocates and co-proponent Jeff Jones of the Patient ID Center, who opened an Oakland dispensary in 1996 then fought and lost a case at the US Supreme Court in 2001 based on medical necessity.
The initiative is a conservative proposal that allows adults 21 years or older to possess or share up to an ounce and have a very small personal garden. It tightens penalties on sales to minors and creates a framework for localities to regulate and tax commercial sales to adults, with the potential of raising billions of dollars in revenue to offset the state budget cuts.
As in all campaigns, fundraising will play a major role in determining the outcome of the election. The TaxCannabis 2010 team estimates that they will need to raise $10 to $20 million for the statewide effort to win in November.
Being a mid-term election, getting out the vote among the cannabis constituency will be essential to passage of the measure.
Info: yeson19.com.
With just one month to go before California voters decide the fate of Prop 19, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that puts those possessing small amounts of the cannabis at essentiallythe same level offense as for speeding. Under SB 1449 possession of up to an ounce is still punishable by a $100 fine, but offenders would not be arrested or risk having a criminal record.
"In this time of drastic budget cuts, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement and the courts cannot afford to expend limited resources prosecuting a crime that carries the same punishment as a traffic ticket," said Schwarzenegger in a statement Oct. 1 that accompanied his signing of the new law. The governor cast the bill's effect as largely administrative. Nonetheless, reform groups applauded changing possession from a misdemeanor crime to an infraction, the lowest level of offense under state law.
The measure gives disenfranchised voters a very good reason to show up and vote in November, regardless of what political candidates have to offer..
People with marijuana felony convictions have a right to vote in California once they released from prison are off parole, and after the law changes many will be able to petition to clear their records.

By Dale Gieringer, California NORML director
Article courtesy of West Coast Leaf, a quarterly newspaper for the cannabis community
The California Assemblys Public Safety Committee held historic hearings on cannabis legalization Oct. 28, 2009 for the first time since cannabis was prohibited in 1913.
Sponsor Tom Ammiano (D-SF) chaired the first Committee hearings on AB390, which will be heard again in early 2010. Reformers argued that cannabis prohibition has failed, while law enforcement responded with claims that the problems caused by prohibition would be made all the worse by legal regulations. Sara Simpson, assistant chief of the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, at one point bewailed the evils of outlaw growers and violent Mexican drug gangs, then voiced concerns that legalization would somehow tighten their grip on California.
Retired Judge James Gray responded that a legal supply will undercut the criminal market and protect children from exposure to crime. Judge Gray spoke against allowing promotion and advertising. Former San Francisco DA Terence Hallinan testified that pot arrests had taken up a lot of time in his office, despite the citys cannabis-friendly reputation. Dan MacAllair of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice testified that possession arrests have soared while other arrests declined, indicating increased emphasis on marijuana enforcement.
California NORML director Dale Gieringer said, Californias millions of marijuana users are tired of being criminals and would like to be taxpaying, law-abiding citizens. He pointed to successful models of legal controls in the Netherlands and India before 1986 (testimony online at canorml.org/APStestimony.pdf). The Rev. Mary Moreno Richardson testified about her experience working with battered wives, who were frequently beaten by drunken husbands but never by those using cannabis. In contrast, law enforcement exposed its bigotry. Marijuana radically diminishes our society, testified John Standish, president of the California Peace Officers Assn. (POA), who refused to distinguish between pot and methamphetamine.
Scott Kirkland, the grim Police Chief of El Cerrito who chairs the Cal Police Chief Assn. Task Force on Medical Marijuana, spewed half-baked distortions and factoids about cannabis, relying on a so-called "White Paper" that is so flawed that the City Council that requested the report ultimately rejected it as being completely unreliable. Sally Fairchild, of the AGs High Intensity Drug Trafficking office, led off with a moment of silence for DEA agents who were shot down in Afghanistan protecting us from drugs. Attorneys Allen Hopper of the ACLU and Tara Todd of the DPA debated with Martin Mayer of the POA over whether California can legalize cannabis without there first being changes in federal law.
The Legislative Analysts Office estimated that legalization would save the state tens of millions of dollars in enforcement costs, while the Board of Equalization estimated that a $50 per ounce excise tax could generate $1.4 billion in tax revenues. Economist Rosalie Pacula of the RAND Corporation cautioned that all projections about revenues, supply and demand draw from highly uncertain assumptions, making it impossible to predict the impact. Dozens of witnesses from both sides spoke up in public comment. Phil Smith of DRCNet wound up the hearing by saying he wants only to be left alone, and will gladly pay taxes in return. After the hearings, reformers visited legislative offices to lobby for AB 390.
Ammiano's bill would provide for licensed producers and distributors, who could sell to adults over 21. Producers would pay an excise tax of $50 per ounce, just under $1 per half-gram cigarette. Sales taxes would generate additional revenues, bringing total tax revenues to $1 billion. Additional economic benefits would be generated in the form of employment, business and payroll taxes and spin-off industries, like the wine industry, amounting to some $12 - $18 billion.
Last but not least, the bill would save hundreds of millions of dollars in costs for arrest, prosecution and imprisonment of cannabis offenders.
State Board of Equalization member Betty Yee spoke in support of AB 390, saying that it would save the state's taxpayers some $1.3 billion. California NORML supplied economic analysis for the bill, provided the bill's text from a draft donated by former State Senator John Vasconcellos, and also provides information about the bill at canorml.org.
Also endorsing the Ammiano bill are Oakland City Council member Rebecca Kaplan, Judge James Gray, San Francisco Sheriff Mike Hennessey, the Drug Policy Alliance and Marijuana Policy Project.
Assembly Bill 390 would not alter state medical marijuana laws. Patients and collectives could grow for their own supply without paying any excise tax. Non-medical growers would be allowed to grow up to ten plants for personal use.
Despite the increased taxes, the bill's sponsors expect the price of cannabis would decline sharply due to decreased pressure from law enforcement. This is the first legalization bill to be introduced since state outlawed cannabis or "Indian hemp" in 1913. Since then, millions of Californians have come to enjoy cannabis, despite some 2.4 million arrests.
Although support for legalization is growing, there is little expectation that Ammiano's bill will be signed this year. Gov. Schwarzenegger has blindly vetoed bills opposed by law enforcement, which strongly supports the status quo. "The last thing our society needs is yet more legal intoxicants," whined John Lovell, chief lobbyist for the Narcotics Officers' Assn.
A major political obstacle to the bill is that it flies in the face of current federal law. Supporters hope this can be overcome. "The final architecture of the bill has yet to be defined," said Ammiano in a Feb. 25 interview on CBC's As It Happens. "Accommodation is possible. It's possible that laws may not be the same in a year or two."
Californians should contact their legislators to support AB 390; for info, see canorml.org.

excellent and easy. i got great ripe tomatoes from local farmers market which just make the whole thing even better! i am also an anchovy lover so i doubled the amount of anchovy plus the olive oil that comes with the anchovies. It also works great as a topping on bread.flag if inappropriate
A great easy summertime recipee. I used anchovy paste, but that was the only change...for a change!flag if inappropriate
I was really disappinted with this recipe. It just didn't get it. I let the tomatoes, et al., sit for about an hour to develop flavors, but it was missing something. Maybe all it needed was a little feta or goat cheese sprinkled on top.flag if inappropriate
This was very easy to make, and tasted delicious. Great for new cooks.flag if inappropriate
My being new in the kitchen may have a lot to do with the fact that this dish, while being good, lacked punch. I think it was a chef problem rather than a recipe issue. Ha Ha! I will have to give it another go. Beautiful served on white though!flag if inappropriate
Simple and tasty dish. I used olives my wife brought from Istanbul and it was a big hit at dinner. This one's a keeper:)flag if inappropriate
Excellent. We added some sauteed zuchini to it (hey, it's that time of year...zuchini is added to EVERYTHING). Didn't feel like the added cooking water was needed, but we also used Roma tomatoes. While waiting for the linguini to cook, we decided that the sauce would be excellent as: a) Bruschetta topping; b) as a major part and dressing for a salad, using strong greens (e.g., arugula, spinach); or c) blend the tomatoes, parsley, basil, oil and vinegar, add the remaining ingredients and chill...add croutons for a wonderful gazpacho. As is, it was great!flag if inappropriate
This is the picture of simplicity. It is excelent with some fried calamari,fried shrimps,or saute of chicken breast.I have prepared this for a number of guests and never had any leftover. PS: This dish must be prepared and served fresh.It doesn't reheat well.flag if inappropriate
Easy to prepare, beautiful presentation, and an absolutely delicious taste of summer! I will long for this dish come January! I wouldn't change a thing in this dish. It's perfect!flag if inappropriate

From Jodi Lipson
AARP members planning to celebrate their last night in Las Vegas at one of the city's 5-star steakhouses were urged to reconsider in a session entitled "Forget What You Hear in the News: Learn the Latest Scientific Findings on Diet and Cancer."
Dr. Arthur Schatzkin of the National Cancer Institute at the National Institute for Health presneted results from a study co-sponsored by AARP and the NIH — the largest study ever of the impact of diet on the health of people 50 and older.
The size of the research–AARP had to rent a warehouse to store the half a million questionnaires–is allowing the researchers tease out, say, whether obesity might impact esophageal cancer (yes) and brain cancer (more so if you're obese when you were 18 and under). And the results leave no doubt: consumption of red meat increases all sorts of cancer.
On the good news side: the study confirms that 5 hours of vigorous exercise a week will extend your life– with whole grain foods, fruits, vegetables, and the Mediterranean diet reducing the risk of cancer.

The Raiders also ranked 31st in 2007, averaging 59,110 per game, and 2006, averaging 58,496 per game.
The Washington Redskins ranked first in 2008 NFL average attendance at 88,604 followed by the New York Giants at 79,069 and the New York Jets at 78,482.
The NFL announced an attendance drop in 2008 compared to the previous season. The league had an average attendance of 68,241 in the 2008 season compared to 68,702 in 2007.
Sellouts Increase
Attendance Improves
The Raiders' 11.8 percent increase in home attendance topped the American Football Conference and ranked third overall in the NFL behind the Arizona Cardinals (49.6 percent) and New Orleans Saints (31.9 percent).
Oakland's average attendance of 58,496 ranked 31st out of 32 teams. McAfee Coliseum, the home of the Raiders, has a seating capacity of 63,132 for football.
The Raiders' 2006 average attendance is third highest since the franchise returned to Oakland in 1995. The Raiders averaged 60,637 fans per game at the Coliseum for the 2002 season, when they advanced to Super Bowl XXXVII. They averaged 59,011 in 2001.
The Indianapolis Colts ranked last in 2006 NFL average attendance at 57,172. The Colts' ranking is deceiving because the team's home, the RCA Dome, has the smallest seating capacity (55,531) in the league. The Colts' tickets sales were 100.2 percent of the stadium's capacity.
The Washington Redskins ranked first in 2006 NFL average attendance at 87,631 followed by the New York Giants at 78,614 and Kansas City Chiefs at 77,909.
The NFL set a regular-season attendance record for the fourth straight year. The league average of 68,733 was an increase of 2.0 percent from the 2005 season, when the NFL average was 67,451.
The Raiders and Bills were the only teams to have home games to sell less than 75 capacity.
Season-Ticket Sales Increase
The Raiders are controlling ticket sales for the first time since the team returned to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995. The Alameda County-run Oakland Football Marketing Association sold Raiders tickets the previous 11 years.
This is the first year that fans don't have to purchase a Personal Seat License to have the right to buy a Raiders season ticket. PSLs ranged from $250 to 4,000 in 1995. The prorated cost in 2005 was $25 to $400.
The county and team mutually agreed to end the controversial PSL plan in November 2005.
Under the new ticket plan, 65 percent of Raiders tickets at the 63,132-seat McAfee Coliseum are less expensive than they were in 2005, the Raiders announced in February. Tickets costing more than in 2005 are for high-end seats.
About 90 percent of the team's season ticket holders in 2005 have renewed, Trask said.
The Raiders are hoping the new pricing will spur attendance, which has lagged since the team returned to Oakland in 1995. Over the past 11 seasons, 59 of 88 regular-season home games have been blacked out locally because McAfee Coliseum wasn't sold out 72 hours in advance, per NFL rule.
Raiders 15th in Ticket Price
The New England Patriots have the top average price of $90.89 and the Buffalo Bills are the lowest at $41.29.
The San Francisco 49ers rank 13th in average cost at $63.70.
Here's the top five average prices: New England ($90.89), Washington ($79.13), Chicago ($77.78), Giants ($76.59) and Jets ($74.96).
Here's the bottom five prices: Buffalo ($41.29), Jacksonville ($45.08), Tennessee ($47.82), Cleveland ($48.79) and Seattle ($50.46).
According to Team Marketing Report, 21 teams raised ticket prices, including the Washington Redskins at a league-high 17.2 percent. The San Diego Chargers' increase was 14.6 percent, the second straight year of double-digit increases by the AFC West team.
NFL ticket prices increased by an average of 5.6 percent, according to the survey.
Raiders 30th in Attendance
The NFL average attendance for the 2005 season was a record 66,455 (breaking the mark of 66,409 in 2004), according to nfl.com. The league doesn't release attendance figures for its 32 teams.
According to kenn.com, the Washington Redskins led the league in 2005 average attendance at 89,625 followed by the New York Giants at 78,565, Kansas City Chiefs at 77,9166 New York Jets at 77,495 and Denver Broncos.
The Raiders finished ahead of only the New Orleans Saints at 52,159 and Arizona Cardinals at 50,129.
2005 Attendance Increases
Only three of Oakland's 2005 eight regular-season home games (Kansas City, Dallas and Denver) were announced sellouts). Since 1995 when the franchise returned to Oakland from Los Angeles, 59 of the Raiders' 88 regular-season home games have been blacked out in the Bay Area.
The Raiders averaged 50,742 fans (31st in the league) in the 2004 season. They averaged 55,008 (30th) in 2003. The Coliseum seating capacity for football is listed at 62,500.
Raiders Scrap PSLs
Fade To Blackout
The PSL plan, which began in Oakland in 1995, allowed PSL holders the right to buy Raiders season tickets through the 2005 season. In 1995, the cost of a PSL ranged from $250 to $4,000. For the 2005 season, the cost of a 10-game season ticket ranges from $470 to $910. There's also an annual maintenance fee of $70 per ticket.
Under the original PSL agreement, PSLs are scheduled to be re-sold at 75 percent of their original cost over the final five seasons (2006-2010) of the team's lease in Oakland. Alameda County and the team reportedly have been trying to come up with a marketing plan to avoid heavy cancellations, which are expected under the 75 percent renewal plan.
The Raiders ranked 31st out of 32 teams in 2004 National Football League attendance. The AFC West team averaged 50,742 fans for its eight regular-season home games at Network Associates Coliseum (since renamed McAfee Coliseum). The Raiders averaged 55,008 (30th in the league) in 2003. The Coliseum seating capacity for football is listed at 62,500.
Raiders 31st in Attendance
The NFL average attendance for the 2004 season was a record 66,409 (breaking the mark of 66,328 in 2003), according to nfl.com. The league doesn't release attendance figures for its 32 teams.
According to kenn.com, the Washington Redskins led the league in 2004 average attendance at 87,833 followed by the New York Giants at 78,734, Kansas City Chiefs at 77,876 New York Jets at 77,897 and Cleveland Browns at 73,105. The 49ers ranked 22nd at 64,783.
The Raiders finished ahead of only the Arizona Cardinals, who averaged a league-worst 35,753 fans.
Raiders 12th in Ticket Cost
The New England Patriots have the league's most expensive average ticket cost at $75.53 followed by the Washington Redskins ($68.12), Kansas City Chiefs ($67.26), New York Giants ($66.67) and New York Jets ($66.39). For you devout wine sippers and quiche eaters, the 49ers are seventh at $64.00. The Buffalo Bills have the lowest average ticket price at $37.13.
Ticket Ripoff - Again
According to an OFMA news release, Tampa Bay tickets are only available if a PSL holder purchases the same number of tickets to the home opener against Buffalo on Sept. 19 and another game of choice (excluding Denver and Kansas City). In other words, if you're a Raiders season-ticket holder and you want to buy an additional two Bucs game tickets, it's going to cost you a mininum of $282 - two tickets per game priced at $47.00, which puts you in the end zone on Mount Davis. If you want first-level end zone seats (priced at $67.00 each), the cost is $402. If you want two seats to watch the Bucs play the Raiders in a rematch of Super Bowl XXXVII, you're better off going through a ticket broker - you should be able to get a couple of nosebleed seats for $400.
In fairness to the OFMA, the public agency announced Sept. 15 that PSL holders could purchase tickets to the Tampa Bay game without having to buy an additional two games. Tickets were scheduled to become available to the general public Sept. 17.
In 2002, the OFMA offered a similar extortion ticket plan for the Raiders' eagerly awaited home game against the 49ers. Non-PSL holders initially had to purchase an additional three games to have the right to get tickets to the 49ers' game. Eventually, that four-game plan was dropped. PSL holders were allowed to purchase additional seats to the 49ers game without paying for other games.
Raiders 30th in 2003 NFL Attendance
The NFL average attendance for the 2003 season was a record 66,328 (breaking the mark of 66,078 in 2000), according to the league. The NFL doesn't release attendance figures for its 32 teams.
According to kenn.com, the Washington Redskins led the league in 2003 average attendance at 80,500 followed by the New York Giants at 78,620, Kansas City Chiefs at 78,480 New York Jets at 77,782 and Denver Broncos at 75,896. The 49ers ranked 18 at 67,581.
The Raiders finished ahead of only the Jacksonville Jaguars (53,509) and Arizona Cardinals (36,062).

The Price You Pay
The New England Patriots have the NFL's most expensive average ticket cost at $73.33 followed by the Washington Redskins ($68.06), the Philadelphia Eagles ($64.00), the Chicago Bears ($65.00) and the Jacksonville Jaguars ($62.85). The Eagles jumped a league-high 38.6 percent in ticket cost by moving from Veterans Stadium to plush Lincoln Financial Field.
The Bottom 5 ticket cost is the Atlanta Falcons ($34.63), the Arizona Cardinals, ($35.99), the Buffalo Bills ($42.55), the Seattle Seahawks ($43.06) and the Tennessee Titans ($43.35).
For you devout wine sippers and quiche eaters, the 49ers ranked 11th in average ticket cost at $58.00.
Food Ban Lifted
Outside food will be permitted if it is packaged in see-through containers, according to published reports. Fans will be asked to enter through specifics gates in order for the food to be inspected.
When Raiders season-ticket holders received their 2003 tickets in the mail in mid-July, a letter from the Oakland Football Marketing Association announced two new banned items at the Coliseum - food and beverage. Since the Raiders returned to Oakland in 1995, fans had been permitted to bring in food and non-alcoholic beverages in plastic containers into the Coliseum.
Fourteen NFL teams ban outside food, according to The Associated Press.
The Oakland Football Marketing Association, which handles Raiders season tickets, has added another black eye to its already soiled reputation.
Some Raiders' season-ticket holders and media criticized the OFMA for its method of dispersing 5,000 tickets to Super Bowl XXXVII between Oakland and Tampa Bay in San Diego on Jan. 26, 2003. In the days leading up to the Raiders' first Super Bowl appearance since 1984, OFMA representatives reportedly contacted ticket winners from a random lottery of approximately 29,500 Personal Seat License holders by telephone. Fans must purchase a PSL for the right to buy a Raiders' season ticket.
Some potential lottery winners could have been deprived of a chance to purchase the pricey Super Bowl tickets (which carried a face value of $500 & $400) because they weren't near their telephone when the OFMA called. If a person didn't answer the telephone, the OFMA wouldn't leave a message. Also, some fans weren't informed they were lottery winners until Thursday night - less than 72 hours before kickoff at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
Initially, the Raiders allocated only 2,000 Super Bowl tickets to season-ticket holders from the team's reported allotment of 11,550. The Raiders released an additional 500 tickets each on Tuesday (Jan. 21) and Wednesday (Jan. 22) and then 2,000 on Thursday (Jan. 23). The final batch of tickets Thursday reportedly became available after the Raiders failed to strike deals with corporate sponsors. The team also made 3,000 tickets available to its luxury suite holders.
The OFMA didn't conduct a Super Bowl ticket lottery until Jan. 17 - two days before the Raiders beat the Tennessee Titans in the AFC title game. Both the Titans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game, reportedly informed their season-ticket holders by letter if they were Super Bowl ticket lottery winners during the week of the conference championship games.

Four-Links – Connecting Highway memories, snow vehicles in AK, '53 Corvette reimagined, Goodyear bus
* The legendary Connecting Highway attracted amateur and high-dollar street racers alike during the Seventies, and though the cops busted those attending on a regular basis, the racers kept coming back. ConnectingHighway.com tells the tales and shines a spotlight on some of the racers who turned a wheel there back in the day, giving us a glimpse of that bygone era. (via)
* So how did folks get around Alaska before the construction of the Alaska Highway? Plenty of different ways, including the various snowmobiles and other snow vehicles that Nancy DeWitt at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum highlighted.
* What if the 1953 Chevrolet Corvette had been designed by other manufacturers active at that time? We already have a pretty good idea, based on those other manufacturers' two-seat and limited-production cars, but Frank Peiler at Consumer Guide's The Daily Drive took the idea a little farther and rendered his ideas for how Dodge, Hudson, Ford, and others would have done up the first Corvette.
* While we'd expect an eight-wheeled anything from the Twenties to have come from the shops of Fageol, Goodyear actually built this eight-wheeled four-wheel-steer bus that The Old Motor recently discussed, basing it on a street car body.
* Finally, nobody knows exactly what inspired Stanley Douglas to chop the roof of his circa 1924 Studebaker into a fastback in the early 1930s, not even his own son, but the car itself remained in the family up until recently and still sports its unusual homebuilt modification, as the Tampa Bay Times recently reported.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 Plymouth Barracuda fastback
History, it's said, is written by the victors, which is why Ford's Mustang is often identified as the proto-pony car. In actuality, the Plymouth Barracuda beat the Mustang to market by several weeks, but it was the Ford that won the hearts (and wallets) of consumers. To close the gap, Plymouth restyled the Barracuda for 1967, and in the eyes of many Mopar fans, got the revised car's lines just right. This 1967 Plymouth Barracuda fastback, for sale on Hemmings.com, may lack the Hemi-powered thrust of later models, but the 273-cu.in. V-8 beneath its hood, bolted to a Torqueflite automatic, should still make for a satisfying weekend cruiser that won't require a winning Powerball ticket to park in the garage. From the seller's description:
1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback, numbers matching, VIN BH29D72341005, complete restoration, original 273, Torqueflite automatic on floor, bucket seats, original air conditioning with rebuilt compressor, new heater core, all gauges refurbished, new instrument panel, wiper motor refurbished, AM radio works great, new front speaker, 8-track player with tapes, Crager wheels, newer tires, chrome value covers and air cleaner but also have originals, new battery and cables, no dents, dings or scratches, starts and runs awesome
Find more Plymouths for sale on Hemmings.com.
What a difference a roofline makes
Car roofs, of course, serve a far greater purpose than just to maintain the car's structural integrity and to keep the rain off yer noggin'. They help set the overall style of the car, sometimes just as much if not more than the rest of the car. To drive that point home, let's take a look at another 3D car modeler, Dan Palatnik of Rio de Janeiro.
Most of Dan's work, exhibited on his Digital Garage Project website, focuses on replicating – apparently with exacting precision – American cars of the postwar and 1950s eras. That doesn't necessarily mean he leaves them all stock, though. Some of them get the traditional custom touch, while others get more extensive "what-if" treatments. For instance, after recently completing the various different shoebox Ford bodystyles, Dan rendered a couple bodystyles that Ford never produced, including a fastback design that was apparently considered for production…
… and, going the other direction with the roof, a business coupe.
See what we mean about roof shapes dictating a car's overall feel?
And if a fastback roof works on a Ford, then it must work on a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air too, right?
Some of Dan's ideas are a little subtler, like this 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air club coupe.
And some go just a little further. We've seen a 1953 Studebaker convertible or two in our time, but none with a shortened wheelbase and wraparound windshield to give it a first-generation Thunderbird look.
As opposed to some of the other, more imaginative 3D car models we've seen so far, these don't look all that hard to replicate in real life. Who's gonna take first crack at it?
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1965 Rambler Marlin
Original cars tend to look a little tired, what with decades-old paint and upholstery, but it appears this 1965 Rambler Marlin for sale on Hemmings.com, with its outstanding two-tone green paint and upholstery, has benefited from an attentive preservationist over the years. From the seller's description:
Number 1,914 built. This Marlin is completely stock and sports the fantastic two tone blue color scheme, which best highlights the design and lines, as seen on the cover of the 1965 Motor Trend and Road & Track magazines. It sits completely original. Photos show an aftermarket steering wheel, but the original does come with the car. It has power steering, Flashomatic transmission, and Duo Costic rear speakers.
I have spent the money making the car a solid driver, so you do not have to. Below is a list of work completed: * All new shocks * Full brake job front and rear * Gas tank removed, sealed, reinstalled * Oil/filter change, new plugs, fuel filter, air filter * rebuilt carb and intake cleaned out * Radiator completely re-cored, new hoses, belt * New battery/cable and more
The Marlin is titled, licensed and insured in my name in CA. A generic outdoor car cover, and the two 1965 magazines are included.

Lost Cars of the 1980s – Honda Civic CRX
1986 Honda CRX. Images courtesy OldCarBrochures.com.
The early 1980s were perhaps the golden age of hot hatchbacks and two-door fastbacks, with buyers able to shop the wares of brands like Volkswagen (the Rabbit GTI and Scirocco), AMC (Spirit GT, Eagle SX/4), Renault (Fuego), Ford (Escort GT) and Dodge (Shelby Charger, Daytona Turbo Z, Conquest), to name but a few. In 1983, Honda Japan launched a two-door fastback in its home market, aimed at urban-dwelling young professionals and powered by a modest 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine. Honda America realized the car's potential and lobbied for its introduction on these shores, and in 1984 the Honda Civic CRX made its North American debut.
No one really knew what to make of the diminutive Honda coupe when it first appeared on these shores, but its futuristic styling, impressive handling and exceptional fuel economy soon won over buyers en masse. Early models were targeted to those seeking fuel efficiency over all else, and the EPA rated the 1.3-liter four-cylinder 1984 Honda CRX at an astonishing 68 MPG in highway driving. The car's aerodynamic shape certainly helped, as did its tall gearing and curb weight of just 1,713 pounds, virtually unattainable in a moderately priced production car today. Despite its featherweight construction, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 1984 Honda CRX five stars in driver frontal-impact crash protection, and four stars in passenger frontal-impact protection, though it's worth noting that 1984 crash testing standards were far more forgiving than they are today.
First-year buyers could opt for the 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine as well, which was essentially a long-stroke version of the 1.3-liter four. Both fed the cylinders via carburetor instead of fuel injection, and the increase in displacement bumped output from 58 horsepower to 76 horsepower, though even this wasn't enough to appeal to hot hatch shoppers. In late 1985, Honda corrected this with the introduction of the CRX Si, which used a rev-happy fuel-injected 1.5-liter four rated at 91 horsepower and 93 pounds-feet of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Though modest by contemporary standards, the CRX Si's 0-60 MPH time of 8.5 seconds was relatively impressive in the Reagan era, especially in light of the 11-plus seconds it took the base model to reach the same velocity.
In an effort to standardize production, Honda used the 1.5-liter four in HF (High Fuel economy) versions beginning in 1985. Thanks in part to a change in the EPA rating system, the car's fuel economy rating fell from the original 68 MPG highway to a still-impressive (and somewhat conservative) 42 MPG highway. Owners frequently reported highway fuel economy in excess of 50 MPG, and CRX fans are quick to point out that modern hybrid automobiles, for all their expense and complexity, struggle to top this number.
First-generation Honda Civic CRX models, built from 1983 to 1987, featured a torsion bar front suspension and a twist beam rear axle. Given the car's light weight, that was good enough to deliver spirited handling (especially in Si versions, which got anti-roll bars in front and rear and received a stiffer chassis beginning in 1986). Though sold as a 2+2 in other markets, American buyers only had the option of a two-seat configuration for CRX models.
1986 Honda Civic CRX.
The second generation of CRX, launched in 1988, debuted with a four-wheel independent wishbone suspension in all models, even the fuel-sipping HF. Buyers could opt for engines ranging in power from 62 horsepower (in HF models), to 72 horsepower (in base DX models), to 105 horsepower in Si trim, but all proved to be entertaining when the road tightened into curves. Thanks to stricter safety requirements, second generation models grew in weight with the addition of things like reinforced door beams, but still managed to tip the scales at less than 1,900 pounds (in HF trim) and just over 2,000 pounds (in Si trim). DX models were available with automatic transmissions, but both HF and Si models required drivers to row their own gears.
Honda replaced the CRX with the Del Sol for the 1992 model year, and fans the world over mourned the car's passing. It's still unclear why Honda chose to discontinue the still-popular CRX, but perhaps the most logical explanation is that the car had grown expensive for young drivers to insure, thanks to its affordable price point and exceptional handling (both of which likely contributed to a higher-than-usual accident rate). Given that most buyers took steps to increase horsepower or further improve handling, finding an unmodified example without rust issues today is challenging, to say the least. Still, the Honda Civic Si made virtually every magazine's "10 Best" list back in the day, so the quest may be worthwhile for those willing to devote the time and effort.
SIA Flashback – 1942 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan: America's Low-Priced Style Leader
It's been long enough now since World War II that many people simply believe that all car sales halted and that all 1942 cars were blackout models. Not so, as we read in the story that Arch Brown (who was around at the time and thus able to give a first-person account) wrote on a still-chromed, sold-after-February-1942, 1942 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan for SIA #149, September 1995.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Dodge Charger
Though second-generation Dodge Chargers get the bulk of the attention (thanks, perhaps, to the car's starring role in the 1968 Steve McQueen classic, Bullitt and in a certain long-running TV show about some good ol' boys), the first generation fastback Chargers were, in the eyes of some, the best looking of all. This 1966 Dodge Charger for sale on Hemmings.com looks particularly good wearing period-correct Cragar SS mag wheels, although the original wheels are available, too. It's got a mildly enhanced 440-cu.in. V-8, as well as a new transmission, rear end and brakes. It's even freshly painted, meaning that the next owner need only enjoy the car. From the seller's description:
1966 Dodge Charger, High-performance V-8 440 with 513 cam, aluminum high-rise intake, Holley 750 carb, Chrysler electronic ignition. 727 automatic with 2600 stall converter, 8 3/4 rear end. Everything mechanical new – engine, brakes, trans, rear end – with less than 500 miles. No used parts. Power steering & brakes, dual exhaust, new radiator and high-volume flex fan. Very solid body, 1/4 panels, & floor pans. Legendary black vinyl interior. Fresh pearl yellow paint and re-chromed bumpers. Cragar mags (original wheels available.) Garage kept. Serious buyers only.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1968 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe
It's always nice to see a seller including original parts with the car they came from, as is the case with this 1968 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe for sale on Hemmings.com. Even though one owner may not intend to perform a numbers-matching, date-coded spark plug wire restoration, subsequent owners may want to do so. With its original fan, clutch, alternator, fuel pump, and more in the trunk, this Impala is a good candidate for a full-on chalk-mark resto. From the seller's description:
2 door Coupe, NOT Custom, original 396/325, Turbo 400, 12 bolt, Cold A/C, PS, PB, PW, Tilt. Glove box mounted AM/FM/CD/MP3 player w/ 200 watt amp, and 3 way Pioneer 6X9's w/ package tray displayed as they did from the factory from this era. This is an original BIG BLOCK Northern California car purchased October 18, 1967, from Lew Phillips Chevrolet Center, 2449 Fulton Avenue, Sacramento, California. The original owner is deceased as of 1991; and had a second, and third owner until 2003, when I purchased the car. Original Window Sticker, and Inspection sheet from original sale provided (please see photos). Upon purchase in 2003, with roughly 114,000 (of what I believe to be original miles), it was my daily driver for two years. During that time, it accrued roughly 30,000 miles/15,000 per year. After 2006, it became a weekend driver, and currently has nearly 157,000 original miles. The Impala has had one repaint in 2001; new heater core 2004; '67 396 4 core radiator installed in 2004 (currently in vehicle), numbers matching water pump purchased/installed 2007. Recent repairs include: New fuel pump, Rebuilt original carburetor, new rear RWL 275/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's (completed this morning 5/18/13). The Impala had HEI ignition installed in 2004, and is currently run for ease of operation. The original distributor is provided with the car should the new owner want to take it to the next level. Its code number is: 1111169 7H30. A flex fan currently is run to cool the car; and make the A/C efficient. The original fan and clutch have the numbers (on the fan): 913894 167, and below that 393100Z (or 2). I did not separate the fan from the clutch back then as that is what made me utilize a flex fan for the cooling system. Clutches for this fan were nearly impossible to find back in 2004. The radiator '67 396 4 core radiator has performed flawlessly for this car since 2004, and the original was only replaced because the tanks were unrepairable (believe me, I tried to have an expert repair them). The current alternator is numbers matching; but the one which came on the car is in the trunk. Its numbers are difficult to decipher; but here is what I interpret them to be: 1KD 480 61A, below that, 7C24, and the next part is questionable, 12VN5S. The original fuel pump was replaced in the past month. The original one needs repair, but will go with the car. ID number: AC Delco 491 0727. The water pump required repair in 2007, and Folsom Lake Chevrolet provided the repair. I purchased an OEM numbers matching waterpump; currrently on the car, BUT, the original from the car is provided with the purchase, and needs repair. Its original numbers are specified in the pictures. Needsless to say; the items in the trunk go with the car, are original to the car, and need repair to make it 100 percent legitimate/possible show car – if that is what the new owner desires. I do not have the Protecto-O-Plate.

Experimental shorty Mustang to appear at Amelia Island
Photos courtesy Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
Even though the two-seater Mustang I sports car of the early 1960s later went on to influence the GT-40 far more than it did the four-place production vehicle that bore the same Mustang name, that doesn't mean Ford didn't try out a few two-seat Mustang designs over the years, one of which has survived to the present day and will appear at next month's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
According to owner Bill Snyder, Ford itself built this experimental two-seat fastback Mustang from a pre-production chassis shortened 16 inches and stuffed with a 260-cu.in. V-8 bored and stroked to 302 cubic inches. Designer Bill Vince Gardner came up with the fastback profile to fit the shortened wheelbase, which Dearborn Steel Tubing – the same company responsible for the Ford Thunderbolt – rendered in fiberglass with a prominent fuel filler above its small ducktail spoiler. Snyder said the Mustang then traveled the country with Ford, which is how Snyder first encountered it, but Gardner apparently felt too strongly attached to the car to let Ford crush it afterward, so he stole it and walled it up in a warehouse in Inkster, Michigan.
As the story goes, Gardner then didn't pay any rent to the warehouse owner and Ford already filed the stolen car claim and collected the settlement from the insurance company, so the Mustang ended up in the hands of the latter six months after Gardner hid it away. Snyder eventually bought it from an executive with that insurance company, fulfilling a nearly 50-year dream to own this particular car after seeing it advertised in a 1968 issue of Hemmings Motor News.
According to Gary Witzenburg's Mustang: The Complete History of America's Pioneer Ponycar, shortened two-seaters almost perennially appeared in the course of Mustang history even though Lee Iacocca and his product planners had settled on a four-seat configuration almost from the beginning. One of the earliest such Mustang-based two-seater concepts came about in 1964 when designers toyed with different implementations of the fastback body style while a more radical fastback appeared in October 1966 as a proposal for the 1969 model year refresh. "We went through a period where we were chopping about six inches off the back," Gail Halderman, the Mustang's design chief at the time, told Witzenburg. "But then we went to two inches and finally back to where we had started because we still had to package a spare tire, fuel tank, and some luggage room back there." None of these other shortened two-seater Mustang design studies appear to have progressed beyond the clay model stage.
The Gardner Mustang will appear at Amelia Island as part of the concours's What Were They Thinking? class, which annually highlights automotive history's misfits and oddities. The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will take place March 8-10 at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida. For more information, visit AmeliaConcours.org.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1950 Nash Statesman Custom
Nashes certainly never blended in with the crowd. Take, for instance, this 1950 Nash Statesman Custom for sale on Hemmings.com, a two-toned two-door club coupe with that bulbuous fastback roofline, aerodynamic styling, and Uniscope gauge pod. As if that weren't enough, it has unique bucket-like "brougham" seating in the rear that appears to have been borrowed from the larger and more upscale Ambassadors. From the seller's description:
Extremely rare, the only one listed in the Nash database and known to still exist of the 132 produced that year.
This was a rare car even when new. Custom denotes the higher trim level, and Brougham referred to the unique "club car" seating arrangement in the rear. The car has 57,000 miles on it and, other than a repaint, is largely original, including its chrome, interior and powertrain.
It has had four owners since new. This car was sold in Kansas City on May 3, 1950, to John Chaney of Humboldt, Kansas, who owned it for nearly 35 years; it is well-equipped, with several options including overdrive, the Weather Eye system, factory-supplied Zenith radio, fog lamps and exterior visor and rain guards.
I drive the car often; it is as reliable as a new Lexus and consistently runs cool and quietly. Of all the vintage cars I've owned, this one has been my favorite due to its unique features, the reactions it brings, and its reliability.

DETROIT - General Motors Corp. could be majority owned by the federal government under a massive restructuring plan laid out Monday that will cut 21,000 U.S. factory jobs by next year and phase out the storied Pontiac brand.The plan, which includes an offer to swap roughly $27 billion in bond debt for GM stock, would leave current shareholders holding just 1 percent of the century-old company, which is fighting for its life in the worst auto sales climate in 27 years. GM is living on $15.4 billion in government loans and said Monday in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it envisions receiving an additional $11.6 billion. But if GM's restructuring plan can't satisfy the government by June 1, the struggling company could go into bankruptcy protection. GM said that it will ask the government to take more than 50 percent of its common stock in exchange for canceling half the government loans to the company as of June 1. The swap would cancel about $10 billion in government debt. In addition, GM is offering stock to the United Auto Workers for at least 50 percent of the $20 billion the company must pay into a union-run trust that will take over retiree health care expenses starting next year. If both are successful, the government and UAW health care trust would own 89 percent of GM stock, with the government holding more than a 50 percent stake, CEO Fritz Henderson said in a news conference at GM's Detroit headquarters. President Barack Obama's administration said in a statement that the bond exchange filing is an important step in GM's restructuring but the administration has not made a final decision about taking stock for part of its loans. 'The interim plan that GM laid out in this filing reflects the work GM has done since March 30 to chart a new path to financial viability. We will continue to work with GM's management as it refines and finalizes this plan and with all of GM's stakeholders to help GM restructure consistent with the president's commitment to a strong, vibrant American auto industry,' the statement said.

Social Media for B2B Companies [INFOGRAPHIC]
Can there be a place for social media for B2B companies?
There is a lot of debate over whether or not there is a use of social media for B2B companies. Why? Because many people do not see just how important social media is – for any industry!
There is a very important place for social media when it comes to businesses in the B2B world. The reason there are so many skeptics is simply due to a lack of understanding of how to properly use social media, a hesitancy to take on the task and, most importantly, not knowing the phenomenal results that other B2B brands are already achieving!
In the infographic below, some insightful data is provided by Clearpoint that illustrates just how important social media is for B2B companies. Perhaps the two most interesting sections of data are the reasons why B2B companies are using social media, and how they are measuring their results.
So many marketers – particularly those in the B2B field – fail to see the benefits of social media marketing outside of brand awareness. While this may be the top reason for the use of social media by B2B companies, the four additional uses are extremely important, particularly thought leadership.
With regards to measurement, there is no shortage of criteria that can be used to measure your success on social media. Again, this applies to any industry.
Take a look at the infographic and let us know which data you find to be most interesting. Tell us in the comments below or on Twitter!

Presbyopia typically develops between the ages of 40 and 50: small print becomes increasingly hard to read, and you become dependent on reading glasses. Even if you have suffered from nearsightedness or farsightedness earlier in your life, you will eventually develop presbyopia, and will need bifocals or several glasses.
The implantation of the multifocal lens, also known as multifocal intraocular lens, is a safe, precise, and tested procedure for the correction of presbyopia. Basically, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial lens. This Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a proven procedure as it has been used for decades in cataract treatments.
The multifocal lens is a highly developed artificial lens with several focal points, and it thereby enables clear vision in various distances – without the need for glasses. This well tolerated lens can permanently stay in the eye and is not visible. EuroEyes has performed most intraocular lens implants in Germany and can prove many years of experience.

With some of the biggest names of lacrosse on their team, the Lizards have been dominating the MLL after losing the home opener to the Bayhawks. So far this season four different Lizards have earned the Bud Light Player of the week for their amazing offensive play. Last week Terry Riordan received the honor for his performance versus Bridgeport, were his six goals earned Long Island a win.
Scoring for both teams would be a difficult task with the goal-keepers in the cage, Sal Locasio for the Lizards and Daye for the Cannons. Locasio has been labeled the MLL's top goaltender with his ability to anticipate the placement of a player's shot - not much gets past him. Daye has been proving many critics this season that he is one of the best keepers in the league.
Long Island was first to get on the board scoring two goals from A.J Haugen and Gary Gait. Haugen shaked and baked past two Cannon defenders and blasted one of his signature shots on the run. Gary scored three minutes later by cutting to the sideline lefty and then quickly changing direction towards goal, hitting the cage stickside upper 90.
Boston finally got on the board at 2:56. Towers hit a diving rebound past Locasio off a Doug Knight bouncer that kissed the pipe and was left hanging in the air on the crease. The Lizards quickly answered Towers goal by scoring the last two goals of the quarter giving them the lead 4-1. Casey scored with one minute remaining from the left side of the pipe beating his defender topside with a face dodge and then took a stickside bouncer that snagged the top pipe. On the ensuing face-off, rookie Eric Wedin from Johns Hopkins fourth overall in the Collegiate Draft beat Towers on a drop clamp and hit Gary Gait on an outlet. Gary took it straight to goal and banged one top shelf over Daye's left shoulder with six seconds remaining in the quarter.
What seemed to be a very slow quarter, was due to the strong defense and phenomenal goal tending. There was a total of twenty-one shots taken, thirteen by the Cannons. Sal wasn't impressed by the choice of shots taken by the Cannons making eight saves and allowing only one goal. Boston seemed to be telegraphing their shots, Locasio was in position seconds before the shots were even taken.
The second quarter began with a pretty shot from Doug Knight assisted by the newly returned Watson. Watson's presence on the field was evident with he ball movement on Boston's offense. The Cannons were getting more looks on cuts then they have the past couple of games. There were quite a few dropped passes from cutters. It seemed that even pro-players forgot the fundamentals - catch first, then shoot.
Riordan scored his first goal of the game at 10:33 off a sweet behind the back pass from Powell on a sweep to the left pipe of the cage that drew a double. The goaltending was keeping the scoring spread apart, the next goals wasn't scored until 4:04 by rookie Mike Law from Denver. Law was found on the run after a Bill Daye save and went straight to goal, Mike was able to get Sal on his knees and bounced the ball early to tag the net.
Twenty-three seconds later Casey was able to find the net when he ripped a grounder when Daye stepped off the stickside pipe. Boston scored the last goal of the half off a nice ISO from Dave Evans. The only thing that Evans left his D-man was the Reebok logo on the back of his shoes and then beating Locasio low and bringing the Cannons with two from the Lizards.
The game was dead even both teams had the same amount of ground balls, saves, penalties and face-offs. Boston's ability to possess the ball for the majority of the second quarter allowed them to take twelve shots to Long Islands five. Only down by two into the third quarter, the Cannons were still in the game.
Boston got off to a quick start in the third quarter scoring fifty-six seconds into the quarter from co-captain Mike Busza. Busza, who was all-alone on the crease, dumped a rebound off an outside shot past Sal. At 9:52 Boston tied the game off a goal from Traynor. Traynor assisted by Goldstein, was hit on a jumped pivot as Tim attacked the goal. Goldstein found Traynor as he was doubled, Greg went to goal with a hard right step and took Sal off the pipe and tagged the net stickside.
Long Island feeling the change in momentum knew that it was imperative to score, so the attack began to take charge. Terry Riordan posted up on Brian Kuczma, faked the inside rolled and cranked a lefty shot top pipe past Daye bringing the Lizard lead back to one at 8:55. However, the lead only lasted a minute when defender Ryan Curtis took it coast to coast. Curtis shot over hand and brought Sal to his knees before taking him high.
Boston took the first lead of the game at 6:13 from Dave Evans who used a screen from a midfielder to hit a two pointer. Evans shot between the middie's helmet and stick and right passed Locasio giving the Cannons a 9-7 advantage into the fourth quarter. Boston's aggressive solid defense allowed the Lizards to take seven shots.
The fourth quarter belonged to the Lizards, Gait scored at 11:20 with textbook Canadian play. After catching the ball backhanded lefty, Gary went straight to the cage taking Daye high. Penalties cost the Cannons the game, with three in the fourth quarter. This gave the Lizards man-up opportunities, a team that you don't want to have EMO. At 8:20 A.J Haugen was hit up top as the ball was swung around the perimeter. A.J faked the outside shot, face dodged his defender and dip and dunked one into the top left corner tying the game at nine.
The Lizards took the lead back at 5:36 when Casey Powell found defender Pat McCabe open. McCabe cranked it low from up top, Bill Daye was in position for the save but the ball was deflected by the traffic in front of the crease. The ball trickled passed Daye as he tried to reposition himself. Lizards quickly scored again a minute later with an outside shot from Tim Byrnes. Boston desperately looked for offensive possession of the ball, but the Cannons were loosing valuable time on their clears with strong Lizard rides on attack.
Boston finally scored at 2:50 on what had to be the prettiest goal of the game. Radebaugh working X made a strong move to goal, as the slide came early Watson was all-alone cross crease. Michael caught the ball and dove straight through the crease going low to high on Locasio. That was it for the Cannons, Long Island was able to keep the ball on their side of the field.
This was the Cannons third loss of the season by one goal. "To hold Long Island down to eleven goals we should have won," said Coach Whiteley. Boston played a strong team defense, had fifteen more ground balls then Long Island and took twenty-three more shots. It was the penalties that cost them the game. They couldn't have asked more from their keeper Bill Daye who had twenty-one saves.
Long Island recognizes themselves to be a fourth quarter team, coming up with four clutch goals. "If we're in it, they think they're going to win," said Coach Detommasso, who was recently inducted into the Lacrosse hall of fame. Coach Detommasso was blessed with his line up of players, with the who's who of lax on offense. "We have player's that have won national tournaments, we have player's with experience in winning, they just go out there and play." They know how to win, even when they are down. Boston has two more chances against the Lizards this season. After this game, Long Islands knows that there next meeting with the Cannons won't be a walk in the park like their first.
