College Hockey:Same As It Ever Was
BU Advances To 13th Beanpot Final In A Row
BOSTON — There are relatively few things a person can count on life. Death and taxes head the list, but Boston University reaching the Beanpot championship game is almost as much of a sure thing.
For the 13th year in a row — and for the 40th time in the last 44 tournaments — the Terriers reached the championship, as No. 8 BU beat Northeastern 4-0 at the TD Banknorth Garden. Senior goaltender John Curry made 27 saves, notching his D-I best sixth shutout of the season, and fourth-liner Dan McGoff matched his previous career total in goals by scoring twice to seal the game in the third period. Pete MacArthur and Kenny Roche scored the more crucial first two goals for the Terriers.
"I thought it was one of our most thorough games of the year," Terrier coach Jack Parker said. "I thought we were terrific in all three zones. We did a real good job killing penalties; we got a couple of power-play goals. We did a lot of things really well. We probably played two or three other games that were close to that as far as our ability to control our destiny, so to speak. … In general, I thought it was a terrific effort as a team."
With the Huskies on an impressive 6-2-2 roll coming into Monday's early game, Northeastern fans felt that this might just be the year that they bucked the overwhelming trend. NU looked good early and had any number of chances to make a game of it, but it turned out to be the same old, same old for the Huntington hounds.
"I really felt that it was men against boys that game," Cronin said. "I thought we had pretty good possessions and momentum in the first ten minutes, but when you play BU, it becomes a trench battle with the play along the wall … I thought BU basically controlled the boards. We had very few second shots. The bottom line is they outskated us, outhit us, and out-possessed us with the puck. Game over."
The Huskies dominated the opening minutes. After a Chad Costello backhand bid at the 45-second mark, Joe Vitale almost put NU ahead at the two-minute mark. Vitale picked up the puck in the left-wing faceoff circle and walked in unmolested on Curry, only to have the senior make the first of many great saves on the night.
"They had the jump, the legs, the shot advantage," Terrier captain Sean Sullivan said. "We held strong and once we settled down we started taking it to them."
BU gradually turned the momentum around, and only a great save by Brad Thiessen kept the game scoreless at 8:11. Behind the goal line, Bryan "Boomer" Ewing teed up the puck for Roche from 15 feet out. Roche blasted a one-timer, but somehow Thiessen got a piece of it with his left arm to prevent a sure goal.
"We had a little swagger going," Cronin said, summarizing his feelings about the team's confidence coming into the game. "You don't go up to Maine and wallop them 6-1 and follow it up with an overtime loss and not feel good about yourself. But after the ten-minute mark of the first period, the tide changed. BU started to come on in waves. You could sense on the bench that there was a sluggishness that was hard to describe."
The Terriers continued to get most of the chances for the next eight or nine minutes. Chris Higgins looked good setting up linemate Peter MacArthur for a chance and then had a bid of his own, crashing the net at 17:10. Seconds later, MacArthur wheeled and fired a shot from just inside the blue line, catching the outside of the net near a post.
The tables turned again with a BU penalty at 17:57. Northeastern put heavy pressure on Curry, and at one point a blocked shot went straight up above the BU net before a defenseman knocked it wide. The Terriers emerged unscathed.
The second period started cautiously with no scoring chances through the first seven minutes. Then BU freshman Brian Strait hammered Husky winger Jimmy Russo into the boards, and — coincidentally or not — the action took off from that point.
On a power play at 8:00, Roche had a great chance in tight. That didn't fly, but BU finally capitalized at 8:59. Higgins got the puck in the left-wing faceoff circle and fired a pass to MacArthur at the far post, where the junior buried a one-timer to make it 1-0.
Just 48 seconds later, BU struck again, Senior captain Sean Sullivan connected on a long touchdown pass from deep in his own end to Roche breaking across the blue line. In an unusual variation on a spin-o-rama move, Roche the lost the puck momentarily, spun in a circle to retrieve it and break in alone on Thiessen. He beat the freshman goaltender with a shot over the right pad.
NU appeared to be deflated for the next several minutes. BU D-man Matt Gilroy clanged a shot off a post at 13:20. Then Northeastern took a couple of frustration penalties, both hitting from behind. BU couldn't score on those but almost got another from freshman Luke Popko, who hit another post at 17:00.
As had happened in the first period, Northeastern ended the period with tons of momentum. At 18:00, Husky freshman Kyle Kraemer walked in alone after intercepting an unwise pass by Kevin Schaeffer, but Curry was equal to the challenge again.
Then the Huskies got a five-on-three for 1:42 running through the end of the period and into the third. Again, the pressure was substantial — a Steve Birnstill shot rebounded off of Curry and came close, but BU survived the crisis with a little help from the intermission.
"We played solid defensively all night," Curry said. "The defense was doing a good job of getting their bodies in the shooting lanes and clearing out loose pucks. It was an all-around good defensive effort."
Northeastern had a great chance to halve the two-goal deficit when Kraemer went in alone on Curry for a second time at 8:20, but Curry extended his left leg for the pad save when the freshman tried for the short side.
BU almost got a highlight-reel goal at 13:07. Higgins lost his stick on a two-on-one but managed to kick the puck to Eric Thomassian for a great chance, but he couldn't convert it.
The game was effectively wrapped up at 15:37 on a fluke goal by Dan McGoff. The puck was dumped into the Husky zone, and Thiessen skated out to the faceoff circle to field it. He hesitated with the puck on his backhand, though, and McGoff hit his stick, sending the puck slowly into the Northeastern net.
"That was strange," Cronin said. "It was like slow motion. He had the puck for about three seconds, and McGoff kept coming on him; I thought he was going to move the puck up to our bench right away. I don't know if he got confused with the defenseman who was coming at him as well. But Thiessen played a heck of a game. It would've been 4-0 after the second period if not for him."
BU (14-5-8) plays at UMass Friday before returning to the Garden Monday to attempt to win its 28th Beanpot title in the 55 years that the tournament has been played. Northeastern (10-13-4) plays at Massachusetts-Lowell on Thursday night before playing in the Beanpot consolation.
"Next week's consolation is a tough game to be in because the other two teams are getting ready for a huge game," Parker said. "It's almost like an aside. It counts in the national standings, but it's an aside to what's happening at eight o'clock. So it's always a relief to avoid that mess.
Parker was humble in reflecting on BU's remarkable first-round success. "I don't think we think too much about the 40 out of 44," Parker said. "The streak is truly amazing considering how good the other teams are, but at the same it's like flipping a coin. If you flip it 100 times, it might come up 50-50, but it might come up tails 35 times in a row. I guess I hope I won't be around when it goes the other way."

Mexico's hope reflected in Moises Munoz
Moises Munoz had a nice career as a goalkeeper in Mexico's top soccer league, playing for his hometown Morelia Monarchs and being part of its only championship. He had a few call-ups to the national team scattered through the mid-2000s and was among the final cuts for Ricardo La Volpe's World Cup roster in 2006.
But he hadn't been with El Tri since a friendly against Ecuador 2008, and he sat on the bench that night. He was in his 30s now. Three, four, five other keepers had larger blips on El Tri's radar.
And if that didn't convince you that his dream of playing in a World Cup had slipped over the horizon, there was what happened on June 3, 2012. He rolled the family minivan on slick highway between Mexico City and Guadalajara with his wife and two young sons in it. The initial reports were that he suffered a cracked skull and accompanying head trauma so severe that he might never play again.
So what was Munoz doing at Qualcomm Stadium on Tuesday, smiling, beaming, answering questions about how he is suddenly Mexico's starting goalkeeper for Wednesday night's friendly against Finland and, perhaps, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil?
"That's how life is, actually, and also soccer," Munoz said. "I'm really glad to be here. It's been quite a ride."
Literally. Figuratively. Nearly tragically.
His is the type of uplifting story that El Tri just might need at this point, an injection of inspiration after months of uninspiring performances put Mexico's most sacred institution on the brink of World Cup elimination. A year ago – shoot, three weeks ago – Munoz was an afterthought to feature in the 2014 World Cup; now he is expected to start in the last-chance playoff against New Zealand next month for a final ticket to Brazil.
"He is an example for us," veteran defender Rafael Marquez said. "I tell you, he worked a lot to be here."
"He's a goalkeeper who is tall and good in the air," said Ricardo Pelaez, the new director of Mexico's national team. "But it's not only his technical skills. It's the story that's behind him that can help us push this national team."
Munoz speaks flawless English because, few people know, he spent a chunk of his formative years in Northern California, attending elementary school and junior high in Redwood City as an undocumented child of migrant workers. He does not have dual citizenship, but his parents have U.S. resident status and live in San Jose.
He returned to Mexico before high school and by age 19 was playing for his hometown club in Morelia. After 11 seasons he was traded to Atlante, where his coach was Miguel "El Piojo" Herrera, a fiery, eccentric defender who was on the fringes of the national team before his World Cup dream was extinguished.
Herrera left the following year for Club America, Mexico's richest team. One of his first acquisitions: Munoz.
Six months later, Munoz was upside down in his Honda Odyssey.
Herrera was in Cancun at the time, to restock America's roster at the annual Mexican player draft. Munoz called him shortly before being airlifted to a second hospital to tell him that the early reports were inaccurate, that he and his family had survived relatively unscathed, that his most serious injury was a broken finger.
"I will recover," Munoz told Herrera. "Wait on me, Miguel."
And he did, resisting the temptation to sign a high-profile replacement. Munoz received medical clearance a few months later and fully repaid Herrera's faith just days before the one-year anniversary of the accident with a half-hour of soccer that forever is chisled in Mexican soccer lore.

A Honolulu bus driver has been relieved of his duties for playing a handheld video game while operating the bus. The incident came to light after a concerned passenger shot cell phone video of the man, who can be seen playing what appears to be a light-colored Nintendo DS or PSP.
The driver was placed on unpaid leave while the bus company investigates. The KGMB-9 news report features an interview with Denita Waltz, the passenger who took the video:
The whole experience was terrifying. He was continuously playing his video game on the bus. Continuously. At times he was driving, playing with it. At times he was sitting there playing with it. He was a hazard. He was playing his video game. He was speeding on the highway. He had his legs and feet up on the dashboard.
It was a very petrifying moment. And when the bus did stop I kept on telling my son, 'Hurry! Get off the bus. Just get off the bus..
GP: It's a good bet that he wasn't playing Bus Driver.

Hey guys the new blogsite is great.
I have the full-length guide rod shok buff system (along with ETMs)for my Springfield. I recently watched a video on the system and the guy doing it (not affiliated with Wilson) said you are supposed to use the supplied extra power firingpin spring along with the system. Now I havnt fired my pistol yet with the full length rod and shokbuff installed.
Does Wilson Combat recommend I change out my firing pin spring as well? I understand that an extra power spring would help with setting off hard primers. But is that the only reason for replacing it? Is it needed for the system?
That might sound kinda stupid(a more powerful spring should be a plus) but I dont want to go through replacing it if its not neccessary and Ive never had a failure to fire from a hard primer before.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Excellent substitute for wheat flour in baking, it gives a richer taste. It contains the skin of the almonds too, which adds up to the fibre intake. The price is very good for the amount of product. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
I am a type 2, diabetic and need to eat only good carbs of some nutritioal value. My pharamacist recommended this flour. Wheat flour of any kind, even whole wheat will raise your blood sugar. The only exception is sourdough white bread, but being a white bread is not very nutritous, but easier on blood sugar. I make up a pancake mix using this Almond flour, oat flour and oat bran, cinnamon, vanila and apple sauce. No wheat. I find cooking with only whole grain flours, I need to add more liquid and wait a few minutes as the whole grains soak up a lot more liquid. It takes about 10 minutes and adding liquid 3 times to get batter thin enough. I have been pleased with most of Now Food products and Iherb is fantastic to buy from. White flour is only good for wallpaper paste not human consumption. I think most of the wheat now days is GMO grains, grown in fields soaked in Monsanto Roundup.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that DNA taken from someone acquitted of a crime can be retained and used in subsequent investigations.
The justices said people don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy if a DNA sample taken from them during a criminal investigation is used in a separate investigation down the road.
The decision Thursday stems from an Ohio man who was acquitted of a 2005 rape but was later convicted of a 2007 murder.
Authorities had taken a DNA sample from Dajuan Emerson in the rape investigation.
Emerson was acquitted but the sample was retained and matched DNA taken at the crime scene of a Cleveland woman's 2007 murder.
Emerson had argued that the state violated his constitutional rights by keeping the sample.

Demand is off to a slower start this year than previous years for H-1B visas that are used to bring in employees with college degrees and special skills such as technology workers.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services began accepting H-1B visa petitions for fiscal 2012 on April 1. However, only 5,900 petitions had been filed by April 8 under the general H-1B visa cap of 65,000, and only 4,500 petitions had been filed under a 20,000-visa cap for those with master's degrees or higher.
In comparison, the Immigration Department had received 13,500 petitions under the 65,000 cap in fiscal 2011 and 5,600 petitions under the 20,000 cap in the same time period—between April 1, 2010, and April 8, 2010.
Demand had been stronger in previous years. The caps were reached in one day for fiscal 2008.
Staffing firms, including those that provide information technology workers, have been among those using H-1B visas.

SANTA CLARA, California, May 13. ANY exercise results in musculoskeletal stress, damaging structures in the body. Every joint has static (i.e. ligaments) and dynamic (i.e. muscles) structures.
Sporting stress causes adaptation for both of these structures. Swimming stresses the shoulders, increasing the range of motion of the shoulder, allowing range of motion of sport-specific motions (i.e. the early vertical forearm). Unfortunately, this adaptation damages the cellular structures relaying positional awareness, or proprioception. Damaging these structures increases one's risk of injury and ability for joint control and biomechanical adjustment/correction.
Theoretically, improving the impaired positional awareness will prevent injuries and improve motor control for ideal swimming biomechanics.
Directions: Cut out a bullseye target and place it on a wall. Next, have the athlete hold a laser pointer, keep their eyes open, and internally and externally rotate their arm telling them to stop with the laser pointer in the bullseye. Once they master this with their eyes open, have the athlete perform this with their eyes closed. Closing the eyes further stresses the proprioception system, improving motor control. Perform 10 repetitions on each arm.

How to Choose an Area Rug for your Bedroom
by Staff Writer
Published April 28, 2010 | Updated June 30, 2015
Area rugs provide a point of interest in your bedroom, give you a soft landing for your feet, and keep the chill away from your toes in the winter. Aside from adding warmth, softness, and beauty to a bedroom, area rugs are also excellent for breaking up space and structuring a room. Here are some ideas to help you narrow down your choices and find the perfect one for your bedroom.
Steps to Choosing a Rug:
Shop Area Rugs ▸
Pen and paper
- Consider Placement
The first step to figuring out which area rug to buy is deciding where you want to put it. For small bedrooms where not much else fits aside from a bed, a large rug for the area beneath and around the bed looks best. For larger bedrooms where there is space for a seating area, desk, or vanity table, area rugs can delineate those spaces nicely. For example, place a large round rug underneath two stuffed armchairs with a reading lamp and table placed between them, or place a square rug underneath your desk and chair. You can either place a large rug under the bed or you can place small rugs of any shape at the foot or sides of the bed.
- Choose Size
Next, you'll need to choose a rug size. Once you've decided where you will place the area rug, measure the length and width of the space and write it down. If you decide to get a rug for the space beneath and around your bed, measure not only the size of the bed but also any additional length and width you need to extend around the bed. For example, if you have nightstands or other furniture at the sides of the bed, you might want a rug that is big enough to cover the entire area of the bed and nightstands plus enough to border the foot of the bed.
- Think about Style
Now consider your personal taste and style. Take a look at the colors and styles your room already has. Are there a lot of solid colors or neutrals? If so, a rug with a pattern or a little bit more color will add just the right amount of interest. If your bedroom already has a lot of color and busy patterns, a solid color bedroom rug or a simple pattern will look better. If you're redecorating your entire bedroom, let a new area rug be the inspiration for your design. Working from the ground up, you can handpick your wall color, sheets, duvet cover, and all the decorative accessories to match the colors and pattern in the rug for a designer-coordinated look.
- Set a Budget
Finally, decide how much you want to spend. The most inexpensive area rugs are machine-made using cotton or synthetic materials, while the most expensive rugs are handmade using the finest quality natural materials, like wool and silk. A hand-woven silk rug is not the most durable choice for a high-traffic area, but it may look wonderful as a wall hanging. If the rug will be the centerpiece of your bedroom, you may want to spend a little more for higher quality materials. On the other hand, if you're working within a budget, there are plenty of excellent quality rugs available, even handmade wool rugs, at affordable prices.

(More) Effectively Managing your MPLS VPNs with IBM Tivoli Network Manager V3.9 written by Matt Duggan, Senior Technical Staff Member
MPLS VPNs have become the defacto standard for providing virtual private networks across the WAN for service providers, governments and enterprises. MPLS is now a well established technology but managing VPN services in MPLS environments is still a challenge due to the complexity and scale of typical MPLS networks.IBM Tivoli Network Manager has had an MPLS discovery and management capability for a while and this has been enhanced with additional capabilities over a number of releases. Today I'm going to talk about how the next release of ITNM, v3.9, can increase operator efficiency and reduce the time taken to repair faults via three new capabilities - enhanced OAM (Operations, Administration & Maintenance) tooling, "links as 1st class objects" and enhanced "Service Affecting Events".
The OAM 'WebTool' infrastructure in ITNM v3.9 has been subject to a major overhaul that paves the way for more out-of-the-box content and greater exploitation of this important capability. The ITNM WebTool infrastructure allows operators to run ITNM server-local executables or sequences of CLI commands against network devices via Telnet and, new to 3.9, SSH by exploiting the device communications infrastructure. ITNM v3.9 also introduces the WebTool infrastructure to Microsoft Windows platforms for the first time.
Out-of-the-box, ITNM ships a number of OAM tools, including MPLS troubleshooting and diagnostic tools, which are accessible in-context from the devices displayed in the ITNM GUIs. The WebTool infrastructure makes it easy to add new tools to ITNM by adding XML files that describe the action of the tool (Local Executable/Telnet/SSH) including expected parameters, their types, default values, and how the output of the tool should be presented to the operator via HTML templates. Once the tool has been defined, it can be run via the CLI of the ITNM server or added to the right-click menu hierarchy for contextual-launches from the ITNM GUIs.
The value for MPLS management of the new WebTool infrastructure is that operators can be provided with a single tool that automates the running of numerous parameterised CLI commands against multiple devices in one invocation of the tool. This saves a huge amount of time given that the operators don't need to manually login to the device(s) and run each, potentially parameterised command. For instance, Cisco suggests that the following tasks be performed on each device when troubleshooting MPLS, all of which can be automated: - Verify That Routing Protocol Runs, Verify CEF Switching, Verify MPLS, Ping the Neighbours, Verify Label Distribution, Verify Label Bindings, Verify That Labels Are Set.
The second capability, "links as 1st class objects", is a major improvement in ITNM's visualization and contextual OAM (Operations, Administration & Maintenance) tooling. ITNM v3.9 significantly expands on previous capabilities by allowing operators to determine network link capacity and state at-a-glance via variable line thicknesses and line colour-coding and status annotations. In addition to this, ITNM v3.9 also provides operators with the ability to invoke OAM tools in-context of a selected link and so they can, for instance, ping both ends of an IP addressed link with a single mouse-click.
For MPLS networks, the value of determining link capacity, state and enhanced OAM tooling is that operators immediately gain link-specific status information and that they can invoke complex sequences of troubleshooting and diagnostic tools in-context of MPLS-related connections.
For instance, if a Provider Edge (PE)-to-Customer Edge (CE) connection fails, ITNM shall colour-code and state-annotate the failed link and provide the operator with the opportunity to run OAM tools in-context of the specific connection. In the case of an MPLS VPN, this could include running CLI commands on the PE router and retrieving customer contact information for the site where the CE device is located.
The last improvement is an enhancement to ITNM's MPLS-related event correlation capabilities. ITNM recently introduced 'Service Affecting Event' (SAE) functionality that, alongside standard Root Cause Analysis (RCA), puts network service context around events relating to the managed network, such as a PE-CE link failure being considered to affect a specific VPN.
ITNM v3.9 expands on the existing SAE correlation capabilities by being able to exploit a separate list of discovered ITNM resources that are considered to be those resources that a defined service depends on. For instance, an MPLS VPN between two sites will have PE router interfaces in the VPNs Virtual Routing & Forwarding (VRF) instances but a separate dependency on interfaces that the PE router uses to connect to the Provider-Core (P) router in the network.
The first adoption of this new capability is realized by a new ITNM discovery agent and enhanced MPLS VPN objects that include the list of PE->P and P->PE router facing interfaces for each VPN. This allows ITNM to take into account an 'extra hop' into the network when determining whether or not a specific VPN has been affected.
The value of this capability to the operator is that a seemingly separate interface problem on a PE or P-router can be associated with VPN instances using the specific pair of interfaces to connect the PE router to the P router in the core of the network, even if the PE router is multi-homed.
I hope you've found this post about how ITNM can more effectively manage your mission-critical MPLS VPN services informative and useful.

Ask a Psychiatrist and Get Answers to Mental Health Questions ASAP
Thank you for your reply, Kate. I have just one more thing that I am curious about concerning him. I think what has dumbfounded me is that he has these conflicting identities and it is a relatively small community. How do sociopaths justify having these different stories when they could easily be found out? He has gone so far as to make up a job (ironically, as a self-employed therapist) and at least one academic degree on LinkedIn recently, where he has real-world professional contacts. Do sociopaths lack foresight or an ability to see the larger picture?
You're welcome!
Sociopaths rarely care what others think of them. They are only focused on what they want and how to get it. And this can lead to them lacking insight. His interest may be to seem better than he is and if people notice, he may not feel it matters because he doesn't think they are part of his objective. Only the people he is focused on matter.
Thank you so much for the positive rating and bonus! I appreciate it.
My best to you,Kate

We're a little worried about this lockout. We want basketball. But in case we don't get basketball, we're going to give ourselves a season.
The following is a work of fiction and no one was harmed in the writing of this story. These works will be based on how we think the 2011-12 season would play out if the lockout ended and the NBA is able to play all 82 games. Every other week, we will have a fictional work until the lockout is over. This is the first. The heart believes it will be a singular work and the NBA will be back in business soon. The head, sadly, realizes that it may not be the case.
BOSTON, June 1, 2012 — Ray Allen sat at his locker with a thin towel draped over his shoulders and another wrapped tight around his still-slim waist, a waist that hasn't gained an inch over Allen's professional career. His feet were in Jordan brand sandals, his toes separated by pieces of foam cut to fit. Allen said he learned the trick early in his career from a vet on his first team, the Milwaukee Bucks. The foam prevented the toes from sliding and smashing into the toecap and helped minimize bruising and torn toenails. Combine that with regular pedicures the he received to prevent ingrown toenails and Allen's feet — the base from which he made an all-time NBA record of 2,703 three-pointers — looked as if they could carry him for another 16 seasons.
The scoresheet from the Celtics' epic 99-98 Game 7 overtime loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals lay between Allen's pristine feet. The rest of him looked spent. He had just played 51 of the game's 53 minutes. If he saw his line, it read like this:
The 39 points were the most he scored all season, regular or post. The 51 minutes were easily the most. Allen, a free agent, had no reason to hang his head in what had been his best game of this unusual season.
Yet there it hung and his shoulders sagged. Allen's elbows rested on his knees and his fingers dangled like branches from a weeping willow. The Celtics locker room was quiet and reporters, who had just been informed that Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce would be the only Celtics to go to the podium, milled about waiting for that precious eye contact from a player, a signal that he was ready to open up or spout cliches.
Most of the reporters had turned away from Allen. They knew that he never spoke to them just after the locker room opened. In fact, it was rare to see Allen there at that time at all. By the time reporters entered after the cooling off period, Allen was gone to treatment, then the showers. If the local scribes did catch a glimpse of him, it was fleeting, like an apparition. When Allen did emerge from the players' sanctuary, he strode to his locker in a bespoke suit, put a couple things down, usually the book he was reading and a DVD of the Celtics' next opponent, and then turned around to face the media.
But in the silence that suffocates a space after a devastating defeat, there was what sounded like a sharp sob coming from the direction of Allen's locker. Then another. Any murmuring between reporters ceased and their heads turned in Allen's direction. Allen's shoulders heaved once, then again. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand and made a small circular motion. There was another sharp sound. The seasoned Boston scribes stood in stunned silence. None of them had ever seen this.
If Allen were upset, it would be understandable. It was the worst season of his 16 year, soon-to-be Hall of Fame career. He missed 41 games after the Pacers' Danny Granger tripped trailing Allen on a screen and rolled into Allen's right knee in a game on Jan. 6. Allen feverishly worked his way back from arthroscopic surgery. He was ready to return at the end of February, but suffered a setback as doctors had to go back in for a second surgery.
When Allen finally returned against Utah in late March, he came off the bench for the first time in his career. He couldn't get his timing and his sturdy legs, which propelled him around picks and provided the springboard for the smoothest jumper in NBA history, were now shaky. So was Allen's confidence.
"I'm working hard to get my rhythm back," Allen told the Boston Globe in April. "My knee isn't responding as I hoped it would. Your legs are so important to your shot."
Throughout his career, Allen's work ethic had been well chronicled, almost fetishized by the media. They noted how he arrived at the arena at the same time, ate at the same time and went through his pregame routine at the same time every game day. As a military brat, Allen knew routine as discipline and discipline as order. If there was order in his life, Allen knew success, built on a solid foundation of meticulous work, would follow. It did. He won a Big East tournament title at UConn, won a gold medal with Team USA in the 2000 Sydney games, made 10 All-Star appearances for three different franchises and played Jesus in a Spike Lee movie.
Then there was the crowning achievement in his career, the NBA title he helped the Celtics win in 2008. He had come close to the Finals with the Bucks in 2001 and nowhere near them with the Sonics. An alpha dog in Seattle, Allen subjugated his game to blend in with Pierce and Garnett. The result: the C's 17th NBA title.
But as Allen struggled in his comeback, Yahoo! reported a Celtics source as saying they weren't going to re-sign Allen, who wanted a two-year extension with the same player option he had when he re-signed for two seasons in 2010. The source noted Allen would be nearly 39 when the extension ended and that it would be in the C's best interest to seek a younger option at two guard. Combined with the physical ailments, Allen's world, which he had so diligently worked to put in order, was now out of whack. For the first time in his career, Allen was coming off the bench, a move Celtics coach Doc Rivers said was necessary to limit the guard's minutes. Allen averaged 12.6 points per game and shot .332 from three-point range, both career lows for a shooter, who, if his jumper could sing, it would sound like Marvin Gaye.
Allen and that melodious jumper re-emerged in the postseason. He averaged 19.4 points in the first round against the franchise for whom he first played, the Bucks. Against Orlando in the second round, he shot a scintillating .435 from three-point range. In the East finals, Allen averaged 24.3 for the first six games running Dwyane Wade, who missed 26 games this year with shoulder problems, through a series of screens designed to bang Wade around.
Then came Game 7 and that overtime and those 39 points, the final three of which gave the C's an 98-96 lead with 3.4 seconds left in OT. Allen was back. The Celtics were on the precipice of their third Finals appearance in five seasons before Mario Chalmers, the Heat's fourth option, found himself open for a short-corner three right in front of the C's bench. Swish.
And now, Allen sat at his locker after what was more than likely his last game as a Boston Celtic and he was … crying? Allen let go of his nose, stood and reached for something in his locker, his back to the reporters. When he turned to head to the showers, Allen instantly noted the sympathetic looks on the reporters' faces and frowned.
"Hiccups," Allen said in his flat baritone, his eyes dry and jaw set. "Pinch your nose, hold your breath, close your eyes tight and count to 20. Works every time."
Now, some reporters looked incredulous.
"You all thought I was crying?" Allen said, neither his expression nor his tone changing. "You know me better than that."
They did. They knew he'd be back in about 15 minutes, freshly showered, freshly dressed, prepared to answer questions for however long it took to ask them. The reporters would pepper him about the game ("Hell of a game. I thought we had it, we just got caught looking at LeBron and Wade."), quiz him about his knee ("It's a little sore, but I'm 37. Everything is sore.") and query him about his future ("I'd love to be here. Celtics green is the best green I've worn in my career. It's where I won a title. It's important.")
With that, Allen paused and pinched his fingers to his nose again. A reporter tried levity.
Allen smirked.
"You could say that," Allen said. "This whole season has been one."
He looked over the reporters as if to say, "anything else." One reporter stepped forward to say good luck and thanks. Allen and the man exchanged pleasantries. Allen then grabbed his book — "Collapse" by Jared Diamond — and his coat. He started to walk out of the locker room with the confidence some mistook for arrogance.
"Yep," Allen said to no one in particular, "a hiccup. Can't go out like that."
With that, Ray Allen, turned, smiled and was gone.

The legislation, which cleared Congress on Thursday, reverses much of a 2012 overhaul of the government's much-criticized flood insurance program after angry homeowners facing sharp premium hikes protested.
The Senate's 72-22 vote sent the House-drafted measure to Obama. White House officials said he'll sign it.
The bill would scale back big flood insurance premium

People are often surprised when I tell them that the Tri County Record, a publication owned by one of the top media companies in the United States - the Journal Register Company - has but one staff employee on its editorial team, and that would be yours truly. While I am indeed ably supported in terms of content through the work of a handful of freelance correspondents, bloggers, and guest columnists, in 99 percent of day to day editorial operations "the buck stops here" in terms of judgment calls and overlooking this publication, one whose readership count surpasses tens of thousands in print and online. Although the job is far less dizzying now than it was when I first came on board and stepped into the shoes of former editor Jake Speicher's in late 2010 (after beginning in 2009 as an intern turned part-time reporter for both the Tri County Record and Phoenixville's Phoenix newspaper), there are still moments where I begin to feel a bit stretched by my current responsibilities as editor of Tri County Record and Community Engagement Editor for the six properties which make up Journal Register Company's Berks-Mont News family (for those who may not know, this publication belongs to a regional news group consisting of The Kutztown Patriot, The Hamburg Item, The Southern Berks News, The Boyertown Times, and The Community Connection). While those 'stretched' moments are typically overcome through simply bearing down and steering the ship as I best know how (I am not fond of reaching out to others who I know also have full plates unless completely necessary), there are those instances where – in sticking with nautical analogies – I find myself in the thick of a storm.
One very recent squall arose when I was contacted by an organization that intended to influence the editorial behavior of this publication. I found this matter both shocking and confusing, and while I will not name any particulars here I will go as far as to say that this organization had promised legal action in pursuit of its effort to keep legitimate news items out of the Tri County Record. Let me further clarify – I am not referencing an attempt to suppress opinion or letters to the editor here, but actual and factual news items. Would I be making an overstatement by saying that this was an assault on freedom of press outlined in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution? Well, being that I am not an attorney or a constitutional scholar I cannot provide an answer with absolute certainty. Fortunately, and here lies the crux of this column, I have in my peers and superiors a group of experienced professionals whose collective knowledge means that I need not feel as if I were about to be overwhelmed, capsized, or shipwrecked when such instances arise. It is a team that includes the staff of proven publications such as The Pottstown Mercury, The Daily Local News, The Times Herald, and The Delaware County Daily Times, and they have, more or less, seen or been through 'it all', including attempts by outside groups to influence news coverage.
Newspapers, like ships, have mastheads and flags, which identify each of us to the world on sight; and newspapers, like ships, also have our navigators and captains – our senior management – which are the leaders keeping all of us on course. I was advised by our leadership to continue on my way and to not concern myself with these attempts to influence the Tri County Record.
It is quite comforting to be on board with not only a crew, but a fleet that has sailed such tumultuous waters before. A crew which can reaffirm when you are indeed not burdened by an albatross hung from your neck. So, I wish to say thank you to my co-workers who continually help me strengthen my sea legs though counsel and commitment. You have my most sincere gratitude.
I would also like to thank the loyal readers of the Tri County Record and all other Journal Register Company publications for their patronage. You are the wind in our sails, and we will always endeavor to bring the best news we can to every port o' call we know.
Respectfully Yours,
Justin Finneran

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Washington State's Jeff Varem scored 12 points, including 10 free throws in the final six minutes, to lift the Cougars to a 60-51 victory Saturday night over USC.
The victory, coupled with the Cougars' 55-48 triumph at UCLA on Thursday night, gave Washington State its first-ever road sweep of the Pacific 10 Conference's Los Angeles teams.
Washington State (11-10, 5-6 Pac-10) , which beat USC, 76-61, in Spokane on Jan. 10, also recorded its first two-game home-and-away sweep of the Trojans (9-11, 4-7 Pac-10) since 1986.
Varem scored only two points in the first half against USC, but was fouled on five consecutive possessions after USC had trimmed a 42-32 deficit to 47-44.
The Cougars didn't go to the foul line in the first half, but made 16 of 21 free throws in the second half.
Marcus Moore led Washington State with 14 points, followed by Thomas Kelati with 13, including three 3-point field goals.
Desmon Farmer led USC with 17 points, but missed seven of his 12 free throws.
Overall, the Trojans made eight of their 20 foul shots. They missed all five free throws tries in the first half, four of the misses by Farmer.
Washington State didn't score a point for the first seven minutes and eight seconds of the game, as USC raced to a 9-0 lead.
But Chris Schlatter's 3-point basket started a 12-0 run for the Cougars over the next five minutes.
After the Trojans regained the lead at 13-12, Washington State scored seven points in a row on the way to a 26-18 halftime advantage.

While experts debatethe effectiveness of retention strategies ranging from "nurturing growthenvironments" to stock-option plans, HR professionals must find practicalsolutions to keep talent not only retained, but committed and motivated toachieve necessary business results. Doing so means accepting the fact that bothenvironment and money impact employee decisions about where they work and howwell they perform their jobs.
Aon Consulting's1998 America@Work survey of 1,800 U.S. employees measures critical factors thatemployees weigh when making employment decisions. Results of the survey supportboth sides of the retention equation. On the intrinsic or environmental side,opportunities for learning and growth top the list of reasons why employees staywith their employers. On the extrinsic or more tangible side, meaningful rewardsand recognition of performance are highly correlated with employee commitment.In fact, salary and benefits are viewed as two of the most important factorsaffecting employment decisions.
So if you thinkmoney is a secondary issue in employee retention, think again. Of thosesurveyed, all things being equal, 25 percent would leave their current jobs foran increase of 10 percent or less, and more than 55 percent would leave for lessthan or equal to 20 percent. Pretty staggering data, isn't it? It's evenmore disconcerting when you consider not only base-pay increases, but theendless barrage of signing bonuses, stock options, employment contracts andspecial deals companies use to lure away the best and brightest in today'smarket. It certainly supports the need to give serious consideration tocompensation design and practices. After all, your primary goal is to make toptalent think twice before walking out the door.
New pay programs send a powerfulmessage.
Traditionally, compensation systemshave been designed to attract, retain, motivate and reward employees by beingexternally competitive and internally equitable. Unquestionably, these are nobleintentions. However, the actual plan design that's in place at manyorganizations was originally conceived in the 1950s, when the world of worklooked very different than it does today. It was a time when fairness wasdefined as "sameness," when employment was for a lifetime, and whenfollowing procedure was far more critical to success than innovation and gainingcompetitive advantage.
Today, compensation systems mustsupport the mission and culture of the organization, and communicate toemployees what is important, why they are important, and what their role is inensuring the ongoing viability of the organization. Compensation systems areincredibly powerful communication tools to apply to a workforce looking foranswers to the fundamental questions, "Why am I here?" "What am Icontributing?" and "How (well) am I being recognized for mycontributions?" Basically, if employees feel good about the answers to thosequestions, they stay; if they don't, they go.
But how do you keep key talent fromjumping ship? The most important step is to recognize that carefully designedpay practices can have a significant impact on making your company a place wherehigh-performing employees want to work. And just in case senior management wantsto make sure there's a good business reason to change "the way we'vealways done it," tell them this: In a study of major Fortune 100 companies,organizations using strategically designed pay systems performed better thantheir traditional-pay counterparts based on financial objectives such asearnings per share, return on assets, profit per employee and cash flow (The NewPay: Linking Employee and Organizational Performance, by Jay R. Schuster andPatricia K. Zingheim, Jossey-Bass, 1996).
If you want compensation to be aneffective part of your retention strategy, you must move beyond the reactionary"just throw money" method of using pay to keep people. You know the drill:Critical employee gets juicy offer from competitor; crazed manager insists youfind way to counter; somehow you do, so the employee stays (for a while!) - andthen it all happens again.
For pay to be a preventative measurerather than a reflex, reward systems must be designed to align employeeperformance with business performance. Employees need to understand what thecompany expects of them, why the company expects it, and the potential rewardsthey can earn when performance expectations are met. Taking this approach to paydesign provides an ownership context for employees - they know they'reimportant to the ongoing success of the company and, if they do their part,they'll share in the success they helped create. For high-performingemployees, these are pretty good reasons to stay.
New pay programs call for patience andcommitment.
Designing the right pay program foryour organization can be the key to high performance and big bottom-linereturns. But before you jump into a full redesign, consider this: Introducing anew pay program is really about culture change. Culture change is aboutreframing and redefining corporate values, and communicating these new valuesover and over again, with the ultimate goal of changing the behavior of theentire organization.
How long does this take? On average,about two years from implementation. Though you might start to see results inthe first year, the momentum kicks in when employees begin to see the return onnew behavior motivated by the program itself. Much of the success and cycle onreturn will depend on how much time and effort was invested upfront to make theprogram a success.
New pay programs aren't a quick fix,and the initiative requires total commitment from the key stakeholders.Unfortunately, corporate patience runs short, and companies tend to pull theplug on new programs or start tinkering with the design if they don't see areturn in the first six months - a deadly mistake when it comes to employeemotivation, one that undermines the entire mission of the redesign. So, if youwant the redesign to work, invest time into getting a good design in place,implement it and leave it alone. It's not unlike investing in the stock market- you have to look at the long-range returns and trust the process.
Ifyou're wondering what the process should look like and where to begin,today's most effective plans are designed in stages that typically include thefollowing steps:
- Identify critical business priorities and the talent required to achieve results. (In some companies, it's specific groups of employees, and in others, strategic compensation efforts are focused on the entire workforce.)
- Assess competitive-market pay practices to use as a benchmark to identify what you can and can't do to compete in the marketplace.
- Conduct focus groups to understand employee perspectives, and encourage partnership in designing reward plans.
- Select a reward plan design that will be most effective in meeting your overall objectives.
- Develop the specific reward plan (with employee participation) that will most effectively motivate employees to achieve desired business results, and acknowledge their contributions.
If you're concerned that your companymay be dealing with too many priorities to develop and commit to a formalretention strategy - compensation-based or otherwise - you're not alone.Additional data from the previously cited Watson Wyatt survey indicates thatonly 35 percent of the 397 U.S. employers surveyed have a formal retentionstrategy. Instead, retention strategies appear to be evolving in stages, withcompensation playing an important role.
Two compensation-based approachesappear to be emerging in the workplace: 1) Overall, companies are seeing thevalue of designing pay systems to support business goals, thereby engagingemployees in the business and rewarding them based on their contributions tosuccess, and 2) Companies are developing compensation-based retention strategiestargeted at specific employee groups critical to achieving specific businessresults.
One company that has made a commitmentto the new pay approach is Chicago-based OEI Business Products. In a time whenBLS cites average tenure for wage workers at 3.6 years, and managers andprofessionals only slightly higher at 4.8 years, OEI enjoys an average tenure of8.5 years. Amy Schuett, director of HR at OEI, attributes their success to acompany culture that is relationship driven and committed to promotion andgrowth from within. In addition, the company uses a variety of performance-basedcompensation programs that tie employee rewards to company success.
Managers and professional staff at OEIearn annual bonuses based on a formula that rewards their contributions to ROA(return on assets) and achievement of specific business goals. The salesforceparticipates in an incentive plan that pays out based on achievement of specificvolume and profit objectives, and reflects competitive industry performance.Several of OEI's manufacturing operations base incentive awards on achievementof specific productivity and efficiency improvements. While not its directintent, OEI has created a retention culture that provides rewards based onemployee contributions to business results, which is supported by management'scommitment to internal promotion and growth opportunities.
While OEI has taken a companywideapproach to strategic pay design, our research indicates many companies taketheir first steps towards strategic pay in a somewhat piecemeal fashion - forinstance, when they have specific business needs to address and critical groupsof employees to retain.
For example, Mel Warriner, principal ofEugene, Oregon-based consulting firm The Company Tribe, tells us his new ventureclient, Car Wash Partners, developed an innovative approach to attracting andretaining on-call employees to handle fluctuating staffing levels. The companypartnered with local colleges offering part-time employment to students - withan added retention benefit. Students who worked specified hours of on-call shiftwork over the course of a year were not only paid for their hours worked, butalso received a $2,000 scholarship.
Measuring the results of new payprograms.
So how do you measure results? If theobject of the new plan was to attract and retain employees, look at time-to-filland turnover ratios, and build the compensation question into exit interviews.If the object was to increase sales productivity, look at trends in data ofrevenue growth, sales-call activity, new account openings and so on. Go back tothe objectives, and that's where you'll find results - and remember thatchange takes time.
For example, SAS Inc., a Cary, NorthCarolina-based software development firm that ranked third on Fortune's listof "100 Best Companies to Work For" (January 1999) looks to retention ratiosas a key indicator of program results.
David Russo, director of humanresources at SAS, believes the company enjoys a turnover rate of less than 4percent because of employees know they are an integral part of the team thatdrives the company's success. Russo reported SAS provides a myriad ofinnovative employee benefit programs, and is committed to providing acompetitive total compensation package. Russo believes offering a competitivebase salary is the cornerstone of good compensation practice and critical toattracting and retaining talent. In addition, SAS uses performance-based bonusesto recognize individual contributions across all levels of the organization.
Tying it all together.
Research done by Sharon Jordan Evans,co-author with Beverly Kaye of the upcoming book Love 'Em or Lose 'Em -Getting Good People to Stay (Berrett-Koehler, 1999) reiterates the importance ofstrategic pay. She confirms that the top reasons people stay with companies aregrowth and learning opportunities, and because they feel recognized and rewardedfor their contributions. She believes employees who are fully engaged in thebusiness aren't thinking about other jobs. "What we all want is a job thatmakes us want to get up in the morning where we're happy, productive andappreciated for what we do," states Jordan Evans.
So what's the bottom line? The era oflifetime employment is over. As HR professionals, the smartest thing we can dois to create a retention culture that engages high-performing employees in doingmeaningful work for as long as the relationship is mutually rewarding. Recognizethat both money and environment have an impact on where people choose to work.Take an integrated approach to designing reward, recognition and developmentpractices that will help your company become an employer of choice.

Playing to your strengths is a vital skill when you're a soccer coach. You know your players and what they can do better than anyone. Add this soccer drill to your training session to get your wingers using high and low crosses, identifying their team mates' strengths.
If you watch soccer from all over the world you will see tall players, short players, fat and thin players, all of whom have a particular skill that has influenced the coach to pick them for his team.
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Man City's Carlos Tevez are both very short attackers, so it's no good crossing high balls into them, the defenders will head them away all day long. But put a low hard cross in and watch what happens.
At the other end of the spectrum is Peter Crouch, the tallest man on a pitch. He doesn't even need to jump to score goals, so if you have him on your team, get a high cross in.
I also have a very tall attacker in my team, I also play him in goal because of his size and agility. When he's up front I tell my wingers to cross high balls into him. Defenders hate it. Once the cross is away, if it's a good one, you can bet he'll get his head on it and have a chance to score a goal.
Soccer drill to match individual strengths
It's a good soccer coaching tip to incorporate a ten-minute, quick break drill of passing, crossing and finishing into your training sessions. High looping crosses to tall, good headers of the ball and low, hard ones to the good volleyers, with good turning skills and footwork.
Use this set up for the soccer drill:
Tell your wingers to use both high and low crosses so you can see how your attackers cope. A server passes out wide to your winger who crosses first time, aiming for the edge of the 18-yard box. Two attackers run to receive the cross and either shoot or head first time.
Extend the soccer drill
You can then make the soccer drill harder by adding a defender or two.
One game I like to play is to give your server three or four balls and tell your players they are 1-0 down with a minute left, so the server must play to the winger and get as many goal-scoring chances in before the minute is up and try to turn around the 1-0 scoreline.

It looked for a while like the session would end without the ceremonial sine die hankie drop.
Not to worry, traditionalists.
House Speaker Larry Cretul shut down shop about two hours before his counterpart Jeff Atwater, in his final turn as President and as a senator, unhurriedly guided his chamber to a conclusion.
About 8:30 p.m., Cretul and a bipartisan contingent of House GOP leaders and Democrats entered the Senate and lined the center aisle as the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms prepared to drop the white hankies.
At 8:47 p.m., the hankies fell.
It lacked the pageantry but was a much more intimate affair than in prior years, and there was no chance that newly-non-partisan Gov. Charlie Crist could drop in out on the rotunda floor. (He couldn't have anyway; he was en route to Miami).
"It took us a while, but we finally got the House to come around to the Senate position," Atwater, R-North Palm Beach, joked later.

Looking Ahead – The New Senate Caucuses
The new Senate will obviously be more conservative than the old. I began with the idea that, while the Republican (Rep) caucus would be more conservative, the Democrat (Dem) caucus would be more liberal. But I found I could not justify that idea. What are the likely changes and what does it mean for the ideology of the Senate? (Other Redstaters are far better qualified | Read More »
