Oklahoma State basketball: Jéan-Paul Olukemi gets NCAA waiver
STILLWATER — All along, Jéan-Paul Olukemi maintained faith that the NCAA would eventually rule his way.
Wednesday, the NCAA came through, granting his appeal for a waiver that allows him to play a full final season at Oklahoma State.
For the player, it's a reprieve on an inadvertent mistake made five years ago.
For the Cowboys, it's a needed break after losing swingman Brian Williams for the season to a wrist injury. Olukemi averaged 11.1 points as a sophomore at OSU, with 20 double-figure scoring games, before averaging 9.4 points a game a year ago before suffering a season-ending injury.
"We would like to thank the NCAA for its due diligence in this matter," Cowboys coach Travis Ford said. "Looking out for the student-athlete and their best interests should be what's most important, and it certainly showed in this decision."
Olukemi's second-semester status had been in jeopardy, after it was discovered he'd unknowingly started his basketball eligibility clock. The issue dates back to Olukemi's one year at Stoneridge Preparatory School in Simi Valley, Calif. During the basketball season, the school's team was shut down and Olukemi was instructed by his coaches to attend classes at a nearby junior college to remain eligible.
Instead, the clock was ticking on his college career. And it's that final semester — fast-forward to now — which was in danger of being lost, before Wednesday's ruling.
"They granted the waiver, which is great news for JP," said Kevin Fite, OSU's director of compliance. "He's eligible to complete the season.
"Very happy for the kid. Obviously, he's happy. Travis and his staff and the whole team are happy for him. JP is a good kid and a good student. He'll walk out of here with a diploma. And he gets to play this final year."
Olukemi, a 6-foot-6 swingman, missed the second half of last season after tearing knee ligaments in a New Year's Eve loss to Virginia Tech.
Sitting out all of Big 12 Conference play, he said, was a struggle, especially while dealing with his own rehab and recovery.
"The recovery has been good, it's just been a long, long thing," Olukemi said. "To watch the team go through the season and knowing I couldn't just put on a jersey and play was the thing that messed with me the most. We were struggling and I couldn't do anything to help them."
Ironically, if the NCAA had not granted Olukemi's appeal, his final game as a Cowboy would have been this New Year's Eve, when OSU is scheduled to play Gonzaga.

Investing in dividends is never a guaranteed money maker. High-yield stocks could give your portfolio a lift as long as they keep getting paid. Looking at the company's distribution as a percentage of earnings could give hints of whether the dividend will be cut. A strong cash flow trend is also a benefit if the company is planning on paying its investors. Here are five stocks with dividend yields over 5% with a solid company behind them.
|Market Cap
|Altria Group (NYSE:MO)
|B&G Foods (NYSE:BGS)
|British American Tobacco (ADR) (NYSE:BTI)
|Cal-Maine Foods (Nasdaq:CALM)
|Compania Cervecerias Unidas (ADR) (NYSE:CCU)
|Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI)
|Data as of market close May 20, 2010.
Compania Cervecerias Unidas (NYSE: CCU) is a beverage company, alcoholic and non, primarily operating in Chile and Argentina. In its fourth quarter of 2009 released March 17, 2010, net profit grew 18.8% to $1.01 per American depositary receipt (ADR). For the full year 2009, net profit grew 41.6% to $3.97 per ADR on sales of Ch$776,544. CCU has an expected long-term growth rate of 8.8%, which is 1% above the S&P 500, and a dividend yield which is much greater than that common to the industry.
Yields In Tobacco
British American Tobacco (ADR) (NYSE: BTI) currently pays a 5% yield in the trailing 12 months. Booker Group, a U.K.-based wholesaler, released financial year 2010 reports on May 21. Total tobacco sales were up 5.8% compared to a 1.5% decrease in the previous year.
IN PICTURES: Eight Ways To Survive A Market Downturn
British American Tobacco currently has a trailing 12-month return on equity (ROE) of 37%. That is a good return on equity, but it isn't the highest on the list. That honor goes to Altria Group (NYSE: MO) with a 97% ROE, while Reynolds America (NYSE: RAI) is sitting at a 20% ROE. Reynolds America and Altria Group are both major players in the tobacco industry yielding around 6.5% each. (Both ROE and ROA measure performance, but sometimes they tell a very different story. This is why they're best used together. Learn more in ROA And ROE Give Clear Picture Of Corporate Health.)
Food And Grocery
B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) and Cal-Maine Foods (Nasdaq: CALM) are in the food industry, which weathers economic turmoil but doesn't always give the best gains in a bull market. B&G Foods manufactures and sells food products mainly focusing on long shelf life; for example, vinegar, spices, canned foods or pickles. On May 18, B&G announced a regular quarterly dividend of 17 cents per share, payable July 30 to holders of record on June 30, 2010. At a share price hovering around $10, that's a 6.7% yield.
Bottom Line
Dividends are not guaranteed, but when the markets are popping and locking, a stream of cash is welcome to any investor. These consumer stocks and non-cyclicals will not escape drops but could be worth a deeper look.

When Maplewood officials took the lead on a major transportation project, they realized multiple benefits.
By Michael Thompson and Bret Johnson
For Minnesota cities, leading a large-scale interchange reconstruction project can be a complex undertaking.
But what many cities may not know is that there can be measurable benefits to taking the lead on your transportation project.
That's what the City of Maplewood found out while leading a $17 million interchange project last year. The increased responsibility afforded them the freedom to shape the project in ways that served the best interests of their community.
Red light, green light
The signalized intersection at Trunk Highway (TH) 36 at English Street in Maplewood was causing major traffic delays and safety concerns, with rear-end crashes a common occurrence during morning and evening rush hours. In addition, the intersection was an access barrier in all directions for pedestrians, area businesses, and emergency vehicles.
According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), a state-led reconstruction project at this intersection was years away because its schedule was filled with higher-priority projects.
Rather than wait more than five years, Maplewood officials approached MnDOT about assuming the leadership role on the project. By taking the lead, the city was able to relieve traffic congestion, increase safety for those traveling through the busy intersection, incorporate ideas and feedback from area businesses and residents, and accelerate the construction schedule.
A safer city, ready for business
To help alleviate congestion and improve safety, the city removed the signals at the intersection and constructed a tight diamond interchange that includes a new bridge over TH 36 at English Street (see photo). This allows vehicle and pedestrian traffic to move freely in all directions, and creates an important safety connection, one that significantly improves response time for emergency vehicles.
"For more than two decades we've struggled with reaching homes and businesses due to limited access points across Highway 36," says Maplewood Fire Chief Steve Lukin. "The new bridge and access points will now allow us to better serve our citizens when they need us most, and when minutes and seconds matter." The improvement will not only increase safety for drivers and pedestrians, but will make a better impression on the thousands of people who use the interchange—which the city hopes will help bolster Maplewood's economy.
"TH 36 represents a major corridor connecting the central metropolitan area to the east metropolitan area, and tens of thousands of commuters make their way through this area daily," says Assistant City Manager and Community Development Director Melinda Coleman. "So, now people will travel with less congestion and frustration, and have more time to patronize our area businesses."
Amplifying the voice of the Community
As project lead, the city was in complete control of the public involvement process, which helped to amplify the voices in their community. This led to greater community engagement and higher quality input.
We wanted to make sure we understood the community's key concerns such as safety, noise, access to businesses, and the aesthetics, and that we put their ideas into action and addressed their concerns," says Maplewood City Manager Chuck Ahl. "Our residents and businesses came forward with some great ideas to help improve this important thoroughfare."
In one case, the city and stakeholders worked together to mitigate vehicle noise generated from the highway. Residents on the south side of the highway believed that a noise wall was the best solution to reduce noise. In contrast, residents from the north side preferred a landscaped berm. As project lead, the city was free to implement both approaches—a noise wall on the south side and a landscaped berm on the north.
A bold move
As the time to begin construction neared, city leaders were able to make key project decisions that might not have otherwise been possible. For example, the city opted for faster completion by closing down the highway completely, rather than leaving single lanes open and doing the project in phases.
This approach meant the city was able to reduce the overall length of construction time—completing the project in September 2013—and thereby minimize the traffic headaches and long-term impacts to local businesses.
"With the standard approach, construction would have been phased and spanned two or more years," says Ahl.
"Being in the lead provided the opportunity to make a bold move to fast-track construction and close the highway for only 75 days."

New Pinal County Attorney Lando Voyles defended his firing this week of a dozen employees — most are attorneys — in one of his first official acts, saying that personnel changes are necessary to change the office's culture.
A statement issued by Voyles' office Thursday said the county attorney is committed to changing "the deep rooted culture within this office of releasing violent offenders," a contention that Voyles had made during his campaign but that statistics have yet to bear out.
He also cited an investigation into alleged employee theft as motivation for some of the terminations. Neither Voyles nor his chief deputy, Richard Wintory, would provide additional information Thursday.
However, details did emerge about what some in the legal community are calling the "Pinal County Massacre," in which at least a dozen Pinal County Attorney's Office employees were told of their impending termination by phone Monday afternoon.
County officials said Voyles targeted at least 16 employees for termination, including four who had already submitted resignations or were slated to retire with the arrival of a new administration. The dozen who were notified Monday included nine attorneys: three in the charging bureau, two in drug crimes, two trial attorneys, one in the civil bureau and one attorney who oversaw prosecution of sex crimes, juvenile crimes and domestic violence. The remaining three employees who were terminated oversaw finance, victims services and community outreach.
In his statement, Voyles, 41, who has been practicing law since 2003, said, "Some of the dismissed individuals deserve credit for a good career in prosecution." The attorneys alone have more than 200 years of experience combined, according to state Bar records.
The statement went on to criticize the previous administration for its "lackadaisical style of prosecution" and cited potential employee misconduct as proof of mismanagement.
Voyles said his office is investigating a theft by an employee, and he blamed previous management for "allowing this theft to go on for an undetermined amount of time and for an undetermined dollar amount."
Voyles said all managers responsible for supervising the suspect "could not be allowed to remain employed in my office."
Former County Attorney James Walsh said Thursday that his successor is unfairly tarnishing the reputations of former employees.
Walsh said the investigation Voyles referred to was initiated in the fall — when Walsh was still in office — after someone discovered potential irregularities in the handling of restitution payments and associated fees. Walsh said he immediately asked the Casa Grande Police Department to investigate and hired an independent forensic investigator.
When faced with administrative leave, Walsh said, the employee chose to resign. He said the employee's immediate supervisor, who was terminated by the new administration, answered directly to Walsh.
At last check, Walsh said, the investigation was not complete. The Arizona Republic was unable to confirm the status of the investigation Thursday.
"There was no other financial irregularity in the office, and anybody who says there is is lying," Walsh said. "This has got to stop. He's entitled to come in, he's entitled to treat people as miserably as he wants, but he doesn't get to lie about people, and he doesn't get to lie about the work that was done before he came in."

New social media strategy is child's play for gift company
1 November 2011
Anyone who's ever been stuck for ideas of what to buy a child for a birthday or Christmas will find Wicked Uncle a godsend. When the online company, which sources unusual gifts for under-12s, wanted to reach out to a younger audience, they approached HELO, who found them a trio of students well-versed in the uses of social media like Twitter and Facebook.
Wicked Uncle benefited from having access to a team who could devote their time to an issue of growing importance in building a loyal customer base. Sales – the lifeblood of a small company – have increased substantially since the project was carried out.
For anyone who's an aunt or uncle, godparent or grandparent, or maybe even a parent, Wicked Uncle might just be their NBF (New Best Friend). The Battersea-based company (www.wickeduncle.co.uk) takes the pain out of gift-buying for children by suggesting interesting and unusual presents, which are wrapped and delivered along with a personalised card and pre-written thank-you note. When Wicked Uncle wanted to increase awareness of their offering with young people, they turned for advice to those who should know – young people themselves.
CEO Mike O'Shea had met Essi Niittymaki of HELO through the OpenCoffee Club, a networking event for startups, and she matched him with Salama Begum, a History and Philosophy of Science graduate, and two PhD students, Mary Gee and Neil Matthews. Salama had already worked on a project for HELO which, she says, "cemented my desire to go into consulting", and she was looking for further hands-on experience. The students devised a marketing strategy using social media such as Twitter and Facebook to keep in regular touch with – and retain – customers.
Salama, now studying for a Masters in Management, gained new respect for the effort involved in building a business from scratch. "The most important lesson I learnt was how to work in a team, as so much of studying for a degree is a solitary affair," she says. She also benefited from HELO's arranging for her to have a mentor, consultant and UCL Advances' 'ambassador' John Spindler, at hand to answer questions and give advice.
Mike O'Shea found having access to young people, with their different views, "invaluable". He says: "It benefited us enormously to have the research carried out by people who were themselves part of that key social media-using demographic." Wicked Uncle has grown substantially in recent months and Mike believes that a proportion of that can be attributed to the students' advice. He adds: "I think what Salama took away from here was the importance of having an incisive commercial attitude. In a small company, sales are the top priority, not building brand awareness. Only big businesses can be that indulgent. We have to remain tightly focused on our goals."

Legislative News is AUSA Government Affairs Directorate's weekly electronic newsletter, and is published every Monday when Congress is in session.
In this issue:
AUSA President Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, USA, Ret., warned Congress last week to not revert back to the "gun vs. butter" debate of the past.
In a letter to key lawmakers, Gen. Sullivan advised that he was concerned manpower and people programs would be sacrificed to pay for weapons systems.
"The President's recent budget blueprint highlights the Administration's plans to reform the military's weapon systems acquisition process. The Association fully supports efforts to identify and eliminate waste, but we do not support "peace-dividend" proposals aimed at cutting manpower growth and people programs to pay for critical weapons programs. Years of war have worn out our weapons and equipment, and they must be replaced," Gen. Sullivan wrote. "Likewise, modernization is a critical element in our ability to provide the equipment our service members need to fight the next conflict. We must not revert back to the so-called "procurement holiday" that hobbled the Pentagon during the 1990s. Critical decisions on major weapons programs were postponed or shelved, forcing the Pentagon to extend the service lives of existing systems."
"Our soldiers placing their "boots on the ground" deserve to perform their wartime missions and training with fully capable weaponry and equipment. In these times of tough economic pressures, we must not lose sight of our priorities nor should we have to make a false choice between end strength increases and weapons needs when both are vital to our Nation's strong defense."
Gen. Sullivan's letter reflects his monthly message to AUSA's constituency. His comments can be viewed in their entirety by visiting our website at www.ausa.org. Click on the "from the president" link.
Good News in a Bad EconomyIf there is any good news to be found in today's dismal economic headlines, it is that the armed forces' quality of recruit is continuing to rise and retention rates remain high. Unfortuntately, as the problems with recruitment and retention fade away, the era of more bonuses for enlisting or staying in the services may be coming to an end.
That's what Rep. Susan Davis, D-Calif., Chairwoman of the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee told witnesses at a recent hearing. "Recruit quality problems that had been of such great concern to this subcommittee just a few short months ago have virtually evaporated, with only a few exceptions -- and there are some."
"During fiscal year 2005 through 2007, the recruiting environment had been difficult. Relatively low unemployment, a protracted war on terrorism, and increased interest in college attendance all contributed to a reduced propensity for youth to serve and a reluctance for influencers to recommend military careers. Recruiting and retention programs were under great stress and the services resorted to increased spending to keep the volunteer force on track. Many of those funding increases were supported with wartime supplemental appropriations and the uncertainty of supplemental funds to support critical programs such as recruiting and retention had been a concern of the subcommittee," said Rep. Davis.
"Unfortunately, this bright picture has a dark side that cannot be escaped. Budget managers will now begin to stop these programs for savings, and rightly so, because as recruitment and retention become easier, one must assume it can be done more cost-effectively."
Curtis Gilroy, Director of Accessions for the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel, said some challenges still remain in recruiting: lack of high school diplomas, obesity, fewer influencers – parents, teachers, coaches – with experience in the military and fewer young people interested in serving in the armed forces.
He warned against deep cuts in recruiting and retention funds, especially now as this spending has been moved into the department's base budget. "Historically, when the economy weakens and recruiting and retention became less challenging, these programs have been ripe for cuts.
LTG Michael Rochelle, the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1 said that despite the challenges of protracted conflict, the Army once again exceeded its reenlisted recruiting and retention missions for fiscal 2008.
He also said that in addition to the financial incentives in effective retention is the assurance that "soldiers and families will be cared for in a manner commensurate with their service and sacrifice. That includes compensation."
Rochelle was also asked about ending stop-loss and should the active Army grow beyond its authorized end strength of 547,400 soldiers. "To your specific question, going forward, it depends upon the demand, and I can only say that since my time as the Army G-1, every estimate of declining demand has proven false," he said
Rochelle said the Army was committed to ending stop-loss as soon as possible. "I can tell you that every time the Army re-employed, tightened or tinkered with -- that's a technical term -- stop-loss, I felt it in recruiting. We don't like it. We would be off it today if the demand permitted so. New Legislation Spotlight
Two pieces of legislation important to AUSA and its members have been introduced in the Senate.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., offered a bill (S. 535) that would repeal the law requiring a dollar-for-dollar deduction of VA benefits for service connected deaths from military survivors' Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) annuity.
Veterans who die from a service injury or who were disabled before death are entitled to benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some of these vets had purchased or qualified for life insurance offered by the Defense Department's Survivor Benefit Plan. The survivors of veteran who chose to buy that insurance have had the insurance benefit greatly reduced – or, offset by the VA benefit -- by as much as $1,200 a month.
Sen. Nelson's bill mirrors H.R. 775, a bill introduced in the House by Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Texas and Henry Brown, Jr., R-S.C.
The other important bill, S.546, introduced by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., would extend eligibility for Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) to service-disabled members who were medically retired with less than 20 years of service and repeal the current restriction that limits CRDP eligibility to those with 50 percent or higher VA disability ratings.
Known commonly as "Concurrent Receipt," current law prevents veterans classified as disabled by the VA from collecting both disability pay and retired pay, despite the fact that the men and women are eligible for both for different reasons. For every dollar a veteran receives as disability compensation, a dollar is deducted from his or her retirement pay. In some cases, this ban takes away a veteran's full retirement pay, wiping away the benefits he or she earned in 20 or more years of service. Sen. Reid's legislation would end this unconscionable practice.
A statement released by Sen. Reid said, "It is simply absurd to deny disabled veterans every dollar they deserve. Being compensated for disability and for years of good service are completely separate and one must not be held against the other. We must keep the promise we make to every veteran by ensuring they receive all the benefits they earn."
This legislation is a companion to a House bill, H.R. 303, offered by Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla.

What are the facts and figures for healthcare biotechnology?
From diagnosis to treatment and in terms of medicines manufactured, healthcare biotechnology is already delivering on its promises
- More than 350 million patients have to date benefited from biotech medicines (including gene technology) to treat or prevent heart attacks, stroke, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer, cystic fibrosis, leukemia, hepatitis, diabetes and other diseases.
- Biological products currently represent 40% of the total registered products*.
- An estimated 50% of all new medicines originate from biotechnologies, and the proportion grows when it comes to the most innovative treatments such as: growth hormones, recombinant growth factors, vaccinations, monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of cancers and inflammatory and infectious diseases, cell therapy etc.
- Healthcare biotechnology continues to grow annually at an average rate of 20% -more than double that of traditional pharma - and that it is 7 times larger than it was 10 years ago.
- The most recent report from PhRMA** reported that more than 600 biotech medicines were being tested to treat more than 100 diseases. Among these 600 biotechnology medicines are:
- 210 medicines to treat cancer
- 50 medicines to treat infectious disease
- 44 to treat autoimmune disorder
- 22 to treat HIV infection and related conditions
- And 22 to treat cardiovascular diseases
*taking into account chemical medicines developed with biotechnologies

The matchmaking is borked right now, there are only so many players a FT can play against.
When the game was still up the FT I normally ran with consisted of 26+ level classes (usually running 1 of each) against level 1 through 8s.
It is not their fault they had to verse us, I completely understand if they rage quit. It is not fun getting the snots kicked out of you through your rear end.
They should NOT be penalized for leaving to find a more balanced match that has a higher potential for being fun, it isn't fun for the high level people to just steam roll lower levels either.
Until the player base expands and matchmaking stops being a troll, there will be stacked matches and people will (understandibly) quit.
The true fun is when both teams are in equilibrium and it is a struggle for both teams to cap.
Heck, I'll uninstall the game if they implement a 30min lockout. Sometimes the guys I enjoy running with DC, or the game crashes on 3 out of 4 people, or it boots us from the fireteam. Why should anyone be penalized for a gameside "Whoopsies!" that no one has control over? Sometimes there are 4v0 matches because people quit in the loading screen. I don't mind, but do you really want to penalize 8 people for quitting a match that neither side wants to play? A 30 minute lockout would actually hinder the game on all accounts, matches would be found slower because everyone is locked out, people would complain on the forums while people say "quit whining and go find a fireteam."
Nobody can play because they're trying to find a decent match and people look like a certain male body part used for urinating for telling everyone seeking a decent match that they are a bunch of whiners. If there are no players, there is no flow for GRO.
If you need a real gun to feel like a real man, then you have a problem.
Playing with guns is no better, if someone is playing with a gun in my vicinity then they need to GTFO!
And honestly, if they're quitting right off the bat then you're better off. You at least have the oppurtunity to get some help from those open spots.

text: I just picked up my new Cross Check from REI size 54. Got it home it felt like a bike for a little person. Of course REI did no kind of set up for me. When I straddle the top bar I clear it by a little over 2" so I think the frame is the right size for me. I got the seat adjusted to a good fit for me but the handlebars feel way too low. I can ride the hoods ok but if I go to the drops I feel way too low even in the middle of the drops where the brakes are (not true drops). Of course I am used to bullhorns and flats so maybe I need to get used to the drops more. But how can I raise the bars? There are 3 spacers on the stem and anther piece holding the brake cable which I guess counts as a spacer. can I add more spacers or get a new stem? Do you think I should return it and get a bigger frame?

Revival signs in manufacturing, core sector data
Jun 02 2014 , New Delhi
April figures indicate industry rebound, PMI expands in May
Eight core sector industries, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of factory output, showed marked improvement in April, clocking 4.2 per cent growth against 2.5 per cent in the previous month.
The HSBC purchasing managers' index showed manufacturing too expanded in May, another sign that things were looking up.
The core sector outcome was boosted by a double-digit growth in electricity output, as was the case in February, official data showed on Monday. That growth may slow down post June as hydropower generation will likely dip due to base effect and also because of below-par monsoon rain due to an El Nino event.
Icra senior economist Aditi Nayar said overall factory output in April would be below 1 per cent despite the pickup in core sector growth. The IIP numbers will be released on June 12.
The HSBC PMI, compiled by Markit, edged up to 51.4 in May from 51.3 in April. A reading above 50 indicates monthly expansion. But input prices rose at their slowest rate in more than a year.
The new orders sub-index, which includes domestic demand as well as orders from abroad, rose to 53.2 in May, a three-month high, from 52.5. A rise in the new orders index is often followed by better output in the following months.
"The momentum in the manufacturing sector improved at the margin, thanks to higher domestic and export order flows," said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC.
Manufacturing output, which accounts for about 16 per cent of the overall economy, has been languishing for sometime. The PMI sub-index for output has fallen around 7 percentage points compared with two years ago.
The latest PMI data also showed that the economy, growing at less than 5 per cent on an annual basis, was still grappling with an inflation challenge.
The Icra economist said sentiments had improved dramatically since the strong election verdict, but a sustained and broad-based improvement in manufacturing was still some months away.
"Mining sector growth will take a cue from the resolution of issues related to land acquisition, clearances, renewal of leases and ramping up of evacuation facilities," Nayar said.
Among the eight core sector industries, production of electricity increased 11.2 per cent in April, fertiliser 11.1 per cent, cement 6.7 per cent and coal 3.3 per cent, all at a faster pace than a year earlier.
Steel production grew slower at 3.1 per cent compared with a 10.1 per cent expansion in the same month last year. Output of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum refinery products contracted 0.1 per cent, 7.7 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively.
Indian companies also hired more staff in May.

[UPDATE] 5-12 Noon - TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) --
Florida's school districts still are facing $7.7 million in penalties for violating current class size limits although lawmakers loosened them for the future.
The executive director of the Florida School Boards Association
said Thursday that most and maybe all districts will meet the new
Wayne Blanton said that as a result the association may
reconsider its plans to sue over the penalties.
A bill awaiting action by Gov. Rick Scott would revise the
limits, but it also approves the penalties calculated by Education
Commissioner Eric Smith after most districts appealed.
About $4 million of the penalties was chalked up by the Palm Beach County School District, which did not appeal.
[UPDATE] 5-12 8:53pm
Based on an examination of class size studies, a Washington D.C. –based think tank concluded in a report released Wednesday that smaller class sizes do yield better student achievement. The Brookings Brown Center on Education said very large class size reductions, of between seven to 10 students, can have "significant long-term effects on student achievement." But the study cautioned that conclusions are tentative because of the small number of high-quality studies. The biggest study of class sizes was done in Tennessee in the 1980s. The report said the positive effects of smaller classes "seem to be largest when introduced in the earliest grades, and for students from less advantaged family backgrounds." The report noted that many states are considering loosening their class size restrictions due to less available money for schools. A reduction of the pupil-to-teacher ratio by one student would save $12 billion a year in teacher salary costs, the report notes. "Class-size mandates must still be considered in the context of alternative uses of tax dollars for education," according to the report, and class size restrictions are the "least cost effective" of a number of possible educational interventions.
THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, May 9, 2011 -
Florida lawmakers approved legislation that drastically limits how many classes have to meet the state's class size requirements.
Under the proposal tucked into the education budget agreement approved last week, foreign language classes, Advanced Placement courses, and certain social studies courses which now fall under class size restrictions, would be exempt.
The legislation – in an education budget conforming bill passed Friday - also gives schools the ability to exceed those caps by no more than three students in kindergarten through grade three, and five students above the caps in grades four through twelve, so long as the school board works out a plan to have those classes in compliance within one year.
"I don't understand how a requirement for a kid to get into college cannot be considered a core class," said Florida Education Association President Andy Ford. "This is just way to circumvent the will of voters."
The Legislature is redefining what constitutes a "core curriculum" class, thereby reducing the number of classes that have to meet class size requirements from 849 to 304. The move is largely supported by school district officials, who say they have struggled to meet the stringent requirements and have faced huge fines as a result.
"I supported that bill because it gives the school districts more flexibility," said Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, head of the Florida Association of District School Superintendents. "It is a much wiser use of the money. (Before) it was so rigid you were literally forced to make decisions that were not academically sound."
It's a major change to Florida's class size requirements, approved by Florida voters in 2002. Under that constitutional amendment, pre-kindergarten through third grade classes cannot exceed 18, grades 4 through 8 cannot exceed 22 and high school grades cannot exceed 25 students.
A proposal to loosen class-size requirements failed last year after it didn't get the needed 60 percent vote to change the state constitution.
Supporters of class-size limits say they boost classroom quality.
Many teachers feel that the class-size limits help with job security. Schools sometimes have to hire new teachers or face fines whenever they can't meet class size requirements due to growing enrollment.
The effort to loosen class-size requirements in the Legislature has drawn criticism from some lawmakers.
Rep. Cynthia Stafford, D-Miami, said the proposal will decrease the number of classes that have to meet class-size requirements by two-thirds. "This is a backdoor way for non-compliance, which will erode the purpose of the mandate and render it basically null and void," Stafford said in a statement.
Still, school districts have quietly supported the measure. Florida School Boards Association Executive Director Wayne Blanton said they are supportive of the changes as did several school district lobbyists.
"It really tries to focus class sizes where they were intended," said school lobbyist Vernon Pickup-Crawford.

T&T battle Jamaica today in first NAGICO Super 50 Semi
Trinidad and Tobago will enjoy home advantage when they take on Jamaica in the first semi final of the NAGICO Super 50 tournament from 14:00hrs today at the Queen's Park Oval.
The Trinis are high in confidence after their seven wicket victory over the Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) in their Zone B game on Sunday and will go all out to give their fans lots to cheer about, but will have to be wary of the Jamaican team who topped Zone A.
The host nation rebounded quiet well after going down to Barbados by 28 runs in their opening game by defeating the Leeward Islands by five wickets in their second preliminary round fixture in Tobago.
Dwayne Bravo has marshaled his troops well so far and will look forward to their continued support in all departments. The home team's batting appears strong with the likes Adrian Barath, Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, the Bravo brothers, Jason Mohamed and wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin.
A lot will depend on Barath and Lewis at the top of the order to lay the foundation for a huge total. Off spinner Sunil Narine spearheads their experienced bowling attack which includes Ravi Rampaul, Imran Khan, Shannon Gabriel and all-rounder Kevon Cooper.
The Jamaicans on the other hand are riding high after their victory over Guyana in the final preliminary round match and will look to keep the home fans quite. Their allround ability can match that of the Trinis and a keen contest is anticipated.
Nkrumah Bonner will look to continue his fine form after scoring a century against the Guyanese. Apart from Bonner their batting will be centered around John Campbell, Tamar Lambert, their Captain David Bernard Jr., Jermaine Blackwood and Carlton Baugh Jr.
Jerome Taylor and Sheldon Cottrell are expected to share the new ball while Andre Russell, left arm spinner Nikita Miler and Andrew Richardson should offer valuable support.
Teams; TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Dwayne Bravo (Captain), Adrian Barath, Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Darren Bravo, Jason Mohammed, Denesh Ramdin (wicket-keeper), Rayad Emrit, Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul, Imran Khan, Yannick Ottley, Shannon Gabriel, Kevon Cooper; Kelvin Williams (Coach)
JAMAICA: David Bernard Jr. (Captain), Nikita Miller (vice captain), Andre Russell, Carlton Baugh Jr. (wicket-keeper), Tamar Lambert, Andrew Richardson, Horace Miller, John Campbell, Jermaine Blackwood, Andre McCarthy, Sheldon Cottrell, Jerome Taylor, Nkrumah Bonner, Kenar Lewis; Junior Bennett (Coach).

Twyman went from being an awkward player, cut three straight times by his high-school basketball team, to being a star for the University of Cincinnati, where he averaged 24.6 points and 16.5 rebounds per game as a senior, earning All-America honours. He played professionally with the Royals, who moved from Rochester, New York, to Cincinnati, following the 1956–57 season. Twyman averaged scored 15,840 points (an average of 19.2 points per game and racked up a total of 15,840 points ) and registered 5,424 rebounds in an 11-year (1955–66) career that earned him a spot in the . Considered one of the best pure-shooting forwards in the NBA, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1983.
The compassion that Twyman, who was of Irish descent, showed for the stricken Stokes, an African American, at a time when segregation was still commonplace in the United States set an example that resonated far beyond the boundaries of sports. The relationship between the two men began with a shared hometown, Greater Pittsburgh. When both were drafted by the Royals out of college in 1955, they drove to Rochester together to begin their professional careers. In the final game of the 1957–58 season, Stokes, already recognized as one of the NBA's dominant forwards, fell hard and struck his head. Later, he lapsed into a coma. Diagnosed with posttraumatic encephalopathy, Stokes was virtually immobile and bedridden for the remaining 12 years of his life. (He died of a massive heart attack at age 36 in 1970 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.) When Stokes's family could not pay his medical bills, Twyman pursued workmen's compensation benefits for Stokes and had himself appointed his friend's legal guardian. Twyman spent countless hours caring for Stokes and taught him to communicate by blinking his eyes, with resultant publicity touching off a wave of worldwide goodwill. From 1958 Twyman also organized an annual benefit basketball game to raise money for Stokes's carecharity event (originally a basketball tournament played for Stokes's benefit) that provided help to former professional players in need. "If people want to remember me for helping Maurice and not what I did on the basketball court, that's fine," Twyman said after he retired, to pursue a career . He later worked as an analyst on NBA telecasts and later as a businessman, and from 1972 to 1996 he served as chairman and chief executive of Super Food Services. The story of Twyman and Stokes's relationship was told in the motion picture Maurie (1973).

Deal For Facebook Shares Leads To Suit Vs. SecondMarket
A firm buying up private shares in Facebook Inc. stock is suing a popular trading platform, saying it botched a deal and cost it more than $9 million.
While it remains to be seen how it plays out, the suit comes amid growing interest in private-shares trading of the hottest pre-IPO tech companies, not to mention scrutiny from another party interested in that activity — the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Felix Investments, which operates two funds devoted exclusively to buying up Facebook shares from employees and other shareholders, says it sealed a deal with Facebook engineer Karl Voskuil in January 2010 to purchase 75,000 shares he owned for about $2.5 million, or $33 per share.
The parties began executing the deal through SecondMarket, a shares-trading platform that has become the center of much of the frenzy over shares in hot tech companies such as Facebook, Twitter Inc., Zynga Inc. and others.
Felix, which operates funds called Facie Libre Associates I and Facie Libre Associates II – a Latinate rendering of "Facebook" – alleges that in March, SecondMarket's in-house counsel released signatures from Facebook officials authorizing the transaction, and Felix wired the final installment of its purchase price to Voskuil on March 26, 2010, the deadline for the deal to close. Facebook has right of first refusal on any proposed sale of its employees shares.
Felix said it had made 20 previous deals for Facebook stock using SecondMarket, and in every case the release of the Facebook officials' signatures was the final step required to close the deal.
But the lawsuit (read it here), filed in the New York State Supreme Court, alleges that SecondMarket had not obtained final approval of Facebook's counsel or delivered a required legal opinion to Facebook. That legal opinion was delivered the next day, one day after the 60-day period to complete the deal had elapsed, according to the lawsuit.
For weeks after, the lawsuit alleges, Felix Investments sought documents to confirm the transaction had closed and was "stonewalled" at every turn. Three months after the closing date, SecondMarket informed Facie Libre that the deal had in fact not closed.
Felix then tried to re-do the deal but was told Facebook had instituted a new insider trading policy in April that prohibited Voskuil from selling his shares to company outsiders.
More than a year after the supposed closing date, Voskuil returned the $2.4 million that Felix had given him for his shares.
Felix claims it lost more than $9 million because of the alleged glitch – the difference between the value of the 75,000 shares it thought it had bought from Voskuil for $2.4 million, and the current value of those shares, which the lawsuit says is more than $12 million as Facebook's private valuation has continued to rise.
Voskuil now is back in possession of his shares – which are worth several times more than they were when he first agreed to sell them to Felix.
Facebook, SecondMarket and Felix Investments declined to comment. Voskuil could not be reached for comment.
Felix Investments is one of several firms that have sprung up in the last two years aiming to buy shares in Facebook, Twitter, Zynga and others. These firms, often more akin to hedge funds or Wall Street brokerage houses than traditional venture capital firms, placed early bets that these companies valuations' would continue to rise, and have kept buying shares as they did just that.
So far, the strategy appears to have worked. Facebook's valuation has risen from a reported $50 billion in January, when Goldman Sachs participated in a $500 million investment in the company, to more than $80 billion on the thinly-traded secondary market this week, according to auction information from Sharespost, another secondary exchange.
The new lawsuit also comes amid an ongoing effort by the SEC to get a closer look at secondary trading platforms and company-specific funds.
In December, the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported that the agency was looking into the trading of private-company shares and appeared to be focusing partly on funds that had sprung up for that purpose. The agency sent letters to several participants in the trading, seeking information about how such funds were valuing shares of the private companies, among other matters.
SecondMarket said in January that it had been contacted by the SEC in the inquiry.
Frank Mazzola, principal of Felix Investments, said then that he had communicated with the SEC, saying. "It's really not an investigation. It's an inquiry, and it's a good thing," he said.
In October, VentureWire reported that New York-based Felix Investments' funds, Facie Libre I and Facie Libre II, were targeting $25 million each.
The firm also created a Twitter-focused fund, called Pipio Associates I LLC, targeting Twitter shares at a valuation of $4.1 billion, according to an email the firm sent to prospective investors that was reviewed by VentureWire in January. Pipio is Latin for "tweet."
The firm, in keeping with the frenzy over private company stock in recent months, went heavy on the hype in its letter to potential investors in the fund, which was reviewed by VentureWire: "If you do not own stock in Twitter already it is a must. If you already own Twitter you need to add to your position. There are two absolute must have positions – Facebook and Twitter! This is the first Twitter stock we or anyone else has had in the past six months and like Facebook it will continue to trade up in price rapidly!"
UPDATE: This article was changed to reflect the fact that SecondMarket was contacted by the SEC in relation to the agency's inquiry into private-shares trading, which was first reported in December.

Where exactly do you get your delusions from?
Lewis carries the team when the car is subpar? Really? How bout you go back and take a look at the 2009 season - the last time McLaren built a subpar car. And also keep in mind that McLaren kept developing that car right till the end, not like this year where they have already stated that they are focusing on next year.
And the guy who won the Hungarian GP last weekend was driving the 3rd slowest car on the grid? What drugs are you smoking exactly?
7 pole positions and 3 race wins - not exactly what I would call the 3 slowest car on the grid.

We've all been there in romantic relationships—wondering "Are we 'just friends' or more than that?" At some point, to avoid the uncertainty and uneasiness, you decide to have the "define-the-relationship" talk with the person you're dating. You want a committed relationship, and you hope they do too!
You may recognize those same feelings of uncertainty while working as an intern or law clerk. You wonder "Am I 'just a law clerk' or is there full-time employment potential here?" Particularly, 3Ls clerking in small or midsize law firms or at legal aid organizations may find themselves wondering if their efforts are leading to post-graduate positions or if their employers have no intention of extending a full-time job offer. Just like in a romantic relationship, it's best to "define-the-relationship" with your employer early.
This article provides proven tips for how to have a successful "define-the-relationship" conversation with your employer.

Dear Abby's legacy: Wit, warmth, and snappy advice
"Probably," her mom responded.
But with all the wonderful humor, the younger Phillips says she was most impressed with two things: her mother's compassion and her bravery. The compassion, she says, shone through especially when her mother met her readers. She remembers a young girl coming up at a speaking engagement and saying something quietly, at which point her mother embraced the girl, who wept on her shoulder.
"That is my favorite visual memory of my mom," she said.
Dear Abby's advice changed over the years. When she started writing the column, she has said, she was reluctant to advocate divorce.
"I always thought that marriage should be forever," she explained. "I found out through my readers that sometimes the best thing they can do is part."
But her bravery, her daughter says, was exemplified even more by her willingness to take on issues like abortion, AIDS, sexism and other hot topics. She caught some flack for writing about homosexuality.
"Whenever I say a kind word about gays, I hear from people, and some of them are damn mad," she said. "People throw Leviticus, Deuteronomy and other parts of the Bible to me. It doesn't bother me. I've always been compassionate toward gay people."
Phillips didn't always stop at answering letters; sometimes she called people directly.
"I'll call them. I say, `This is Abby," she said. "How are you feeling? You sounded awfully low.' And they say, `You're calling me?' After they start talking, you can suggest that they get professional help."
Her longtime editor, Alan McDermott of the Universal Uclick features syndicate, said he was struck by how she combined that compassion with an infectious sense of humor, and good spirits.
"I don't think I ever, in all those years, saw her without a smile on her face," said McDermott, who edited her column for some 20 years. The two would speak on the phone weekly, and he sometimes accompanied her on speaking engagements.
And even though Phillips was a good 30 years his senior, McDermott says, she was not above a little innocent flirting. One morning he called her hotel room, and she quipped, "I think you left you left your toothbrush here," he remembers with a chuckle.
Pauline Esther Friedman, known as Popo, was born on Independence Day 1918 in Sioux City, Iowa, 17 minutes after her identical twin, Esther Pauline (Eppie). Their father was a well-off owner of a movie theater chain. Their mother took care of the home. Both were immigrants from Russia who had fled their native land in 1905 because of the persecution of Jews.
Two days before their 21st birthday, the sisters had a double wedding. Pauline married Morton Phillips, a businessman, Esther married Jules Lederer, a business executive and later founder of Budget Rent-a-Car. The twins' lives diverged as they followed their husbands to different cities.
The Phillipses lived in Minneapolis, Eau Claire, Wis., and San Francisco, and had a son and daughter, Edward Jay and Jeanne. Esther lived in Chicago, had a daughter, Margo, and in 1955 got her job writing the advice column. She adopted its existing name, Ann Landers.
Pauline, who had been working for philanthropies and the Democratic Party, followed her sister's lead. She applied for the advice column without notifying her sister, and that reportedly resulted in bad feelings. For a long time they did not speak to each other, but their differences were eventually patched up. In 2001, the twins, then 83, attended the 90th birthday party in Omaha, Neb., of their sister Helen Brodkey.
The advice business extended to the second generation of the Friedmans. Not only did Jeanne Phillips take over "Dear Abby," but Esther Lederer's daughter, Margo Howard, wrote an advice column for the online magazine Slate.

Cal Adds Three Defensive Specialists For 2013
Related Links
May 3, 2013
BERKELEY - Cal's volleyball team has bolstered its back row by adding three defensive specialists to its roster for 2013.
Sarah Cole, a transfer from UC Davis, and incoming freshmen Katie Curci and Sabrina Blackwell will join the Bears in the fall.
At Presentation High School in San Jose, Calif., the 5-foot-11 Cole was a two-time All-West Catholic Athletic League selection and helped the Panthers to a runner-up finish in the 2010 NorCal Championships. Presentation finished that season ranked No. 5 in the country after being ranked No. 1 at one point.
"Sarah joins Cal as an experienced player with multiple skills," Cal coach Rich Feller said. "She is a good serve-receiver and defensive player, while also having the ability to take some front-row swings as an outside hitter. She is coming in as a transfer and has a few extra years of experience to add to our team's competitiveness."
Curci, who is 5-9 and hails from Newport Beach, Calif., earned All-Pacific Coast League honors last fall. She helped Corona del Mar High School reach the CIF Division I finals as a junior and semifinals as a senior.
Curci's aunt, Sienna Curci, was an All-Region setter at Cal from 1989-1993 and is third on the Bears' all-time assists list with 4,008.
"Katie is a hard-working defensive player from a great club program," Feller said. "We are excited to add Katie to our roster for 2013. She will give us more options and depth in the passing game and on defense."
Blackwell, who attended Thomas More High School in San Jose, is 5-7 and a three-time Private Christian League most valuable player. She also led the Knights to three PCL championships.
"Sabrina comes to Cal with extensive experience as a high school and club player," Feller said. "She has been primarily a defensive specialist and will give us added depth as a serve-receiver and defensive player. She is a very good athlete and works hard at her craft."

A Must Read - Share
by Sarah Bray Sonoma doesn't get the recognition for cabernet sauvignon that its chic neighbor Napa Valley receives, perhaps because Napa so defines the flavor and body of the typical California red. Sonoma, closer to the ocean, has a slightly milder climate, which lends itself to creating a more elegant cab in certain areas like the Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. These leaner, less robust wines have a hint of softness amidst their bright fruit and higher acidity. Some even have a hint of spice, bringing their complexity forward as you sip on the wine, and a great deal of structure that

Mockingbird Lane Images Show Us The Munsters In Their New Home
By Kelly West 4 years ago comments
Headed to NBC later this month is Mockingbird Lane, a TV special - originally set to be a pilot for a potential series by Bryan Fuller - that brings the classic monster-family the Munsters back to the small screen. Since announcing that Mockingbird Lane would air as a special, NBC has released a trailer, and now we have an official description and a bunch of new photos for you to check out.
From the description NBC has provided, it seems the focus of this special is on easing young Eddie Munster into the understanding that he's a werewolf, and that puberty is going to be a whole different kind of situation for him than it is for other boys
In Mockingbird Lane, sweet little Eddie Munster (Cook) is a normal kid about to enter the horrors of puberty. Truth is, hes about to discover that for him becoming a teenager means growing hair in truly unexpected places -- as in all over his body -- every time the moon is full! Eddies got it pretty good though. His loving, supportive, run-of-the-mill family includes his mom Lily (de Rossi), the daughter of Dracula; his dad Herman (OConnell), who brings new meaning to Frankenstein; and Grandpa (Izzard), who would give Dracula a run for his money if he werent actually Dracula! Of course then theres creepy cousin Marilyn (Wakefield), whos really the odd one because shes so completely normal.
There's a mention of Herman needing a new heart. We saw Jerry O'Connell on the table in the promo and here he is again, with Grandpa (Eddie Izzard) standing over him holding a heart.
Here we have Herman with Eddie's hand on his heart...
And in this one, Marilyn checks out the plant and animal life in the house
And here we get a look at Portia de Rossi as Lily. Quite a banquet they have going on there
You can view the rest of the new photos in the gallery below. Mockingbird Lane airs Friday, October 26 at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.

2003 Toyota 4Runner Reviews
2003 Toyota 4Runner Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2003 Toyota 4Runner (4 Reviews)
Well, I finnaly traded my 2003 yesterday, it had 74500 miles and 8 years. I am going to miss it a lot. It was the Sport Edition in black. The dealership only gave me $9000 for it, and i took it with a smile! Bought 2011 SR5 since i am on a budget now. Halloween 2009 kids dropped eggs on my hood, and i had to bring my car for a paint job, went to Maaco BIG MISTAKE, horrible job and they devalued the price of my car. DO NOT GO TO MAACO! The major problem was the paint rims that peeled off after the warranty was out. You can buy replica on line for $161, factory ones are $350. Slight issue with the driver side door lock, when it was under warranty. The driver seat had a slight side to side motion that Toyota never really fixed to my satisfaction, i beleived the problem came about because of the valet parking, those guys just slam the seat when sliding it! If i was you i would get the hood protector, i am going to get it for my 2011, and maybe even the clear film for some of the paint and front lights. My 2003 had front and rear brush guards, still need to buy it for my 2011... Overall my 2003 was really a great truck, off road and all. I would tell anyone to buy a 4Runner. When the original tires need to be replace go for the Michelin! The front suspensions needed to be changed, it was getting rough down there.The reason for me to sell it, was i could not stand the fact of loosing of the car value.
we like our 2003 4runner but it is not that roomy for a family of 4 the ride is rough like a truck and it is not really a good winter truck
Great truck. it has over 90k miles on it and still drives like new. It has seen everything from beach driving to blizzard conditions and has never failed on me. Still feels solid and seems like it will last forever. I've driven other model SUVs with the same mileage and they feel like they're going to fall apart any minute.
Good performer on and off road and in poor driving conditions, reliable fuel consumption, great versatility for hauling people/stuff/towing, wish it had a manual transmission but they are not available with this option as far as I know.

Weekes: Blackhawks must do more to scoreby Kevin Weekes / NHL.com
The Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks are two very intelligent teams.
Both teams have a lot of guys that are shoot-first guys. I think you can say Patrick Sharp is a shooter, Brent Seabrook is very much a shooter, Zdeno Chara is a shooter. Go up and down the lineup and there are shooters both up front and on the back end for both sides; there are a lot of skilled guys who can score.
Boston has the most goals by defensemen and the most points by a defense corps in the playoffs. That being said, what I liked about both teams in Game 1 is they were shooting to create goals. They weren't just shooting to score goals.
There are two ways to score goals. You can shoot to score, or you can shoot in a way to try and set up a scoring chance for someone else. I saw guys shooting for the far pad a lot. Sometimes they would take a little heat off the shot hoping that the goalie couldn't control the puck if it hit his low blocker and spit back out.
I saw Dave Bolland do it a few times, and several of the Boston defensemen tried to do it. They weren't trying to put pucks through shin pads with pinpoint accuracy or with a laser to a certain spot. They were just trying to get pucks to the net a lot of times, even from bad angles.
When you look at both teams that are here and their ability to score, it is not just because of all the talented players that are on both rosters. They are also doing a lot of the greasy things it takes to score.
That was one of the things that I was worrying about with Chicago coming into this series. Would the Blackhawks forwards be willing to go to the front of the net and pay the price to score the ugly goals?
I think that question has been answered. The Andrew Shaw goal in triple overtime of Game 1 was a perfect example of this. That was a double-layered screen, and a double deflection on top of that. The puck hit Bolland's stick up high and then again off Shaw, who had gone to the net.
That goal typifies the way you need to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This goes for both teams, but especially for the Chicago Blackhawks. You know the Bruins are going to play like that, but because they have so much finesse and hockey sense, I wasn't sure the Blackhawks were committed to playing that way.
If you go back and look through the playoffs, they didn't really play that way against the Minnesota Wild consistently. They certainly didn't play that way consistently against the Detroit Red Wings, especially early on in that series. You can even argue that against the Los Angeles Kings it kind of came and went.
If the Chicago Blackhawks want to win this series, they need to continue to do more than that. We know the Bruins are going to play that way all the time, so it will be up to the Blackhawks to try and match them.

When it comes to local emission-free transport its hard to beat a child's pedal car. But if you're looking to give your kid's ride a little more grunt while still maintaining some green cred then Audi's Auto Union Type C e-tron study should fit the bill. The prototype vehicle, which will be on show at the 62nd International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, is based on the UKP10,000 (approx. US$15,900) limited-edition pedal car model sold through Audi dealers, but adds an electric motor that can propel the vehicle to speeds of up to 18.64 mph (30 km/h).Read More
The large roof areas of factories and production plants are an obvious choice for the installation of solar cells and Audi has just announced it will install additional photovoltaic modules on a 7,500 square meter (80,729 sq. ft.) area of the roof of its main plant in Ingolstadt, Germany. The expanded solar capacity will be used to charge the batteries of Audi's e-tron models using new electric car charging stations and will also be used to provide green electricity to the plants' production facilities.Read More
As electric cars take to the streets, the people at Audi have been confronted with what they see as a new problem to solve: their cars are too quiet. Acoustic technicians have been enlisted to find the new sound of Audi, and it won't be a roaring V8 or hissing turbo – the inspiration might just come from the sci-fi world.Read More
We took a shine to the Audi e-tron Quattro when it appeared in Frankfurt last year followed by a smaller version in Detroit. Why? Because it's simply stunning to look at... and has specs to match. The latest iteration was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Auto Show this morning – the e-tron Spyder concept. This open-top, plug-in-hybrid two-seater combines a 221-kW (300-hp) twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors at the front to deliver a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph), reaching 100 km/h (62.14 mph) from a standing start in just 4.4 seconds.Read More
Following on from its wow factor appeal at the Frankfurt motor show last September, the next model e-tron from Audi is aptly called the Detroit show Audi e-tron, and has been unveiled here in ... err, Detroit. Now you'd think it would logically be the same uncompromising purist all-electric sports car from Frankfurt but everything is much more compact with a much shorter wheelbase and gross weight has been cut to 1,350 kg. Two electric motors with a combined output of 150 kW (204 hp) and 2,650 Nm (1954.54 lb-ft) accelerate the coupe with ASF-design aluminum body from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. Most importantly, the Detroit Audi e-tron has "torque vectoring which enables it to distribute its high torque between the wheels entirely as required for unprecedented levels of active precision and traction. Audi claims the e-tron drives like a go-kart – agile, good on bends and neutral right up to its very high handling limits.Read More
One of the highlights of IAA 2009 was undoubtedly Audi's electric Quattro, and the development ecosystem the company is establishing. Dubbed the e-tron, it has four motors producing in total a 230 kW (313 hp) and a stunning 4,500 Nm (3,319.03 lb-ft) of torque, enabling it to accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 – 62.14 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and from 60 to 120 km/h (37.28 – 74.56 mph) in 4.1 seconds. The car's lithium-ion battery is stored directly behind the passenger cabin for an optimal center of gravity, and holds 42.4 kilowatt hours, enabling a range of 250 km.Read More

We had spagetti (the large and when Tubby says large he means LARGE ) not expensive and good, good, good with a loaf of buttered toast.
It was so great being back in that atmosphere and just being around his wonderful personality.
He is hoping to get a beer license soon and has a plan for a great game setup. He is moving along quite nicely and I hope that he gets rolling along at a fast pace.
I love all the signs hanging up. sort of like it used to be when he was on Spring Street, but as he says, "Less risque, it's a family place now."
I hope everyone trys to stop by and tells all their friends....a chance to get one of our own up and running in Jeff, one who certainly deserves it.

Glad to hear he is doing better!! Best wishes for him to continue to do well! I may have to make a trip down to the restaurant this weekend for some good stuff!
Glenn has also been out running around. Have seen him nearly daily for a month or more as he tries to put weight back on via hashbrown and gravy. Was so good - and startling - to see him for the first time after assuming that probably wouldn't happen earlier last year.
He's such a fighter.

... he'll have to thank the people who helped him get there. Hmmm, who would that be now ... Chris Carmichael? The Postal team? Johan Bruyneel? No, I'm thinking about the people who have REALLY motivated him. Here's my top 5 thus far:
1. Gilberto "I'm going to dominate Armstrong in the mountains" Simoni
2. Greg "I doped, so Lance is doping becasue I'm the best American cyclist of all time" LeMond
3. The entire French media
4. David "I've got absolutely no proof, but I need the money" Walsh
5. Roberto "I can win on my own" Heras
Motivation. Pure motivation.
