Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1608 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Take careful note of the location of the apostrophe in the title. This novel is not about a single liar: it is about liars, plural.
There are, in fact, four principal liars here. And, no, they do not lie about Jesus, as you might guess. They lie about other things. They lie in similar ways but for different reasons. And they lie a lot.
This is British writer Naomi Alderman's third novel, released to coincide with the Easter holiday, but it is much unlike her previous two. Disobedience (2006), winner of the Orange Award for New Writers, was about contemporary orthodox Judaism, secularism and lesbianism in her native London. The Lessons (2010) was set firmly in the world of privileged British academia and explored the intrusion of a naif onto that turf.
The Liars' Gospel is very different. It is a kind of non-musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
The book is framed by and rife with ancient violence. The short prologue describes in wrenching detail the slaughter of a lamb in the Temple of Jerusalem, something that occurred so persistently that the draining of life-blood had become routine. Ritual, habitual death sets the novel's agenda.
Next is a thick description of Roman general Pompey's devastatingly effective but oddly clement invasion of Jerusalem in 63 BC.
The epilogue echoes and inflates this loudly, describing future-Emperor Titus's brutal siege, capture and decimation of Jerusalem in AD 70, an assault that knew no clemency.
In between, we listen to imaginative stories of Jesus (here called Yehoshuah to seize his Jewish heritage and forestall his Roman transformation). In four sections, tales about and from those in the orbit of Yehoshuah are told. The man himself is barely here. We only glimpse him, hear rumours about him, find out news of him after the fact.
The first of the four is Miryam (Mary), his mother. Her son is lost to her and is curiously replaced by a wandering teenager, found near-frozen in the hills.
She cares for him as her own and when his life comes into Roman peril because of his pre-existent commitment to her now-dead Yehoshuah, she lies to save him. She jeopardizes her whole village to save her phantom son.
The second of the four is Iehuda of Qeriot (Judas Iscariot). He is in Yehoshuah's inner circle but, of these, he is the only one with the nerve to contest him. He finds himself in a spot where he must do what he must do and he lies to sacrifice the life of Yehoshuah but preserve its message. And he lies ever after to preserve himself.
The third is Caiaphas, the high priest of the Temple in Yehoshuah's last days. Roman-appointed, he tends the Temple and its people. To keep them safe, he lies. Every day. It is, he thinks, for the greater good.
The fourth is Bar-Avo (Barabbas), a religio-political rebel since his mid-teens. He is prone to scheming and zealous violence. Brilliant, he is constantly initiating and even controlling riots but always eludes Rome's sword.
For Bar-Avo, Rome is an unjust occupier that simply must be overthrown, whatever the cost. Keen to die violently for his belief, he becomes a leader of thousands of covert rebels and his movement becomes more than a thorn in the Roman Prefect's side.
Pilate eventually is able to capture him and ought to kill him brutally and publicly but there is a wrinkle: Pilate has captured Yehoshuah, too.
He interviews both criminals as he deliberates their fate. Bar-Avo lies. Yehoshuah does not. Bar-Avo lives. Yehoshuah does not.
Alderman, who is in her late 30s, has a small Canadian connection. She was selected in 2012 by Toronto Margaret Atwood as her mentee as part of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. One assumes then that Atwood had some input into this novel.
Alderman is unquestionably a gifted storyteller and she knows why: it is because she, too, is skilled at lying. "Every story," she concludes, "has an author, some teller of lies."
She feels this so deeply that she finds herself forced to include an appendix, a "note on sources." Here she defensively asserts that much of this "novel" is actually true.
To document this, she quickly rounds up her sources: the works of the prolific Jewish historian Josephus, the Talmud and the Gospels of the New Testament.
Alderman is correct. Her structuring facts are well-grounded. Scholars of religious, political or social history would feel hard-pressed to dispute them.
On the contrary, they will envy her enchanting -- if unadorned -- prose, her canny evocation of sights, sounds, tastes and smells. They will marvel at the way this still-beginning novelist is able to evoke the past so vividly.
She's cherry-picked her data, of course, but she's wrapped it in beautiful lies and offered it as a sacrifice for thought.

Today my colleague Scheherazade Daneshkhu has written a terrific piece about the luxury race to the vertical – the move among the big groups to own not only their own manufacturing and retail, but their suppliers – and lo! what should happened but yet more proof of the trend: Loro Piana has bought a majority stake in the Argentinian alpaca producer Sanin SA. It ain't just about leather and python anymore: now fibers are in the mix. And I wonder how far it will go?

Box Score | Game Notes
Video: Schuster TD | Postgame Intervew with Lyle Marsh
Postgame Press Conference
HANOVER, N.H. - Senior quarterback Billy Ragone used his arm, legs and even made his first career reception to help guide the University of Pennsylvania football team to its first win of the season Saturday. The Quakers outlasted Dartmouth on national television at Memorial Field, 28-21, in the Ivy opener for both teams.
Penn (1-2, 1-0 Ivy) led 20-0 at the half, but that lead was down to six before senior Lyle Marsh ran free for 51 yards to give the Quakers a 28-14 lead with 5:50 left. Dartmouth (2-1, 0-1) added seven points just two minutes later, but the Red and Blue ran out the clock for their 14th win in the last 15 meetings with the Big Green.
"It's always a close game up here," said Ragone, who ran for 60 yards and threw for 165 yards on 14-of-18 (78%) passing. "And it's always nice to go 1-0 in the league and come up here, on the road, and get a good road win against a good team."
The Quakers scored on all four of their first half possessions, which included a one-yard touchdown run by senior Jeff Jack on the opening drive, a pair of Connor Loftus field goals and a one-yard touchdown rush from senior Greg Schuster. Jack's first rushing touchdown of the season was set up by three third-down conversions and Ragone's 24-yard hookup with junior Ryan Mitchell to the two-yard line.
Junior Dan Wilk and senior Brandon Copeland recorded Penn's first two sacks of the year and forced a Dartmouth punt on the Big Green's first drive. Loftus' 28-yard field goal was set up by Schuster's 4th-and-1 conversion from the Dartmouth 44 and a trick play. Ragone handed off to Mitchell, who stopped, turned and passed back to Ragone for nine yards - the quarterback's first catch and Mitchell's second career completion. Four plays later - and on the first play of the second quarter - the Quakers went up 10-0.
Penn had the ball for all but 2:07 of the first quarter and outgained the Big Green, 155-(-7). The Red and Blue's dominance continued with 10 more unanswered points in the second quarter.
Senior Andrew Holland took over at quarterback for Penn's third drive. He ran three times for 22 yards to set up a 25-yard field goal.
On the Red and Blue's next possession, Ragone - who became the 11th player in Penn history with 3,000 career passing yards - returned to march the Quakers 80 yards in 10 plays. Schuster's touchdown with 33 seconds left in the half, gave Penn a 20-point lead at intermission.
Since 2006, all but one meeting between these Ivy rivals has been decided by one possession. Dartmouth extended that streak with a second-half rally. The Big Green opened the last half with its first points - a 31-yard touchdown pass on 4th-and-3 - to close to within 20-7. Then a 33-yard touchdown run by Dominick Pierre got the Big Green within 20-14 with 8:59 left in the game.
The Quakers responded immediately. After converting a pair of third downs to reach midfield, Marsh found a hole and a lot of open space as he raced 51 yards for the touchdown. On the two-point conversion attempt, Ragone was flushed out of the pocket to his left, then ran out of room, spun and raced to the opposite sideline where he bought enough time to find senior Joe Holder in the end zone. Holder dove, corralled the pinpoint pass and kept both feet inbounds to put Penn up 28-20 with 5:50 remaining.
Dartmouth needed just 2:17 to get back to within 28-21. But the Quakers ran out the clock with a pair of first downs to seal their fifth straight win over the Big Green.
Marsh had a team-best 61 rush yards on just two carries, Jack added 52 rush yards and the Quakers outrushed Dartmouth, 207-63. Junior Conner Scott had a team-high eight receptions for 89 yards.
Wilk had a career-high eight tackles to lead the Quakers in addition to his first career sack. Sophomore linebacker Dan Davis was second on the team with seven tackles and senior Dave Twamley added six more.
Penn was playing its first of three nationally televised games this season. The NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) will also broadcast Penn's matchup at Yale on Oct. 20 and the home finale against Harvard on Nov. 10. Both of those games are also noon starts.
Next Saturday is the final non-conference matchup of the 2012 campaign for the Quakers. Penn will play host to William & Mary for the fi rst time since 1992. Kickoff from Franklin Field is set for 3:30 p.m.

Oregon Legislature Advances Important Education Funding Bills
K-12 Budget Clears Senate and House Approves Bill to Redirect Corporate Kicker to Community Colleges
As Oregon lawmakers near the finish line of the 2013 Legislative Session, two important bills to fund public education advanced this morning.
In the House, legislators reached the two-thirds majority required to pass House Bill 2305 - an important step forward for Oregon's 17 community colleges. The bill would redirect this year's corporate kicker to the Community College Support Fund. At this time, we do not know how much community colleges would see from this bill and whether or not the corporate kicker will be triggered.
On the other side of the Capitol, the Senate took up the budget for K-12 education. Senate Bill 5519, which appropriates $6.55 billion for Oregon's schools, had been held up earlier this month with all Republicans and one Democrat rejecting the bill. This time around, the bill received bipartisan support and passed by a vote of 22-8.
For most Oregon school districts, a $6.55 billion budget will help stave off new cuts, but it won't allow school districts to add back what they've lost. And for some school districts, the budget will still mean layoffs and lost programs.
As a reminder, legislators approved Senate Bill 822 earlier in the session, reducing benefits for both active and retired PERS members. SB 822 is expected to provide an additional $200 million to school districts through PERS savings.

Australia are guaranteed their third Commonwealth Games track cycling gold medal, with Jack Bobridge and Alex Edmondson qualifying fastest for the men's individual pursuit.
Edmondson's sister Annette is also riding for gold on Friday night in the women's individual pursuit.
But Australia had mixed fortunes during Friday's early session in the men's sprint.
Fastest qualifier Matthew Glaetzer is out after losing his quarter-final to English ace Jason Kenny, who will now face Australian Peter Lewis in the semi-finals.
Bobridge and Edmondson qualified fastest and set up a gold medal clash a day after they were members of the men's teams pursuit squad that won gold and broke the Games record.
Bobridge, the world record holder, clocked four minutes 19.211 seconds on Friday for the 4000m event.
Edmondson, the reigning world champion, was second-fastest with 4:20.853.
Compatriot Miles Scotson did not make the medal ride-offs when he qualified sixth-fastest in 4:24.819.
Bobridge won the individual pursuit in Delhi four years ago and has returned to the track from his professional road commitments.
Annette Edmondson and Amy Cure qualified second and third fastest behind English star Joanne Rowsell in the women's 3000m individual pursuit.
Rowsell broke the Games record set by Australian Katie Mactier in 2006 when she rode three minutes 29.038 seconds.
The reigning world champion will ride off for the gold medal against Edmondson, who clocked 3:30.728.
Cure was third in 3:31.543 and will be up against Scot Katie Archibald for the bronze medal.
Kenny was too good for Glaetzer, winning their quarter-final two heats to nil.
Lewis also beat New Zealander Matthew Archibald 2-0.
After his below-par start to day one, Kenny was looking much more like his normal, dominating self.
While Glaetzer broke the Games record for the flying 200m in qualifying on Thursday morning, Kenny was 11th fastest - and only the top 12 progressed to the match sprints.
Kenny also lost his opening round sprint and had to win his repechage heat to stay alive.
He was then part of the English trio that won silver in the team sprint late on Thursday afternoon, losing to world champions New Zealand in the final.

Hunger Hits Home: A Communal Table Special Editionby FN Dish Editor in Community, Events, April 11th, 2012
Today there will be no swapping of recipes. Instead, the food community will gather at noon to educate, showcase and highlight local heroes and charities that are giving it their all to raise awareness to fight one of the nation's biggest issues: hunger.
More specifically, one in every five children in the United States struggles with hunger. According to Congressman Jim McGovern, "We are the richest country on the planet and not a single community is hunger free." Every year, 16 million children struggle with hunger — that's the population of Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago combined. There are no easy solutions, but we can't afford to do nothing.
This Saturday evening, Food Network will premiere Hunger Hits Home, a documentary that gives viewers at home a firsthand look at the crisis of childhood hunger in America through the eyes of the parents, children, anti-hunger activists, educators and politicians.
One of the biggest misconceptions regarding hunger is that if a person works, there should be no reason he or she or their family should go hungry. And yet, 11 million children go to school having not eating breakfast.
Here are four ways to take action against childhood hunger today:
1. Donate to local food pantries
2. Support your school meal programs
3. Call your local member of Congress and make it clear to them how important it is that they support programs to end hunger
4. Be a Part of Share Our Strength's Food Blogger Bake Sale on April 28
Our friends are talking about hunger today, too. See what they have to say and tell us what you're doing in the fight against hunger on Twitter by using the hashtag #pullupachair.

- Brian Robins: Time to bring Rio Tinto home
- Walsh revolutionised miner's biggest money-spinner
- Adele Ferguson: Decision was a long time coming
- CEO Tom Albanese axed in Rio Tinto shake-up
Investors have reacted positively to Rio Tinto chairman Jan du Plessis' bold move to dump chief executive Tom Albanese, and shrugged off the miner's unveiling of larger-than-expected write-downs against its aluminium and Mozambique coal assets.
Rio Tinto shares have opened up 1.7 per cent on the ASX this morning, rising $1.11 to $65.71. In London overnight, Rio initially fell by as much as 5 per cent but recovered to close just 0.5 per cent down.
Though shocked at the size of the $US14 billion ($13 billion) in write-downs announced last night, investors welcomed the elevation of Australian Sam Walsh as chief executive, in the expectation he will bring a new conservatism and capital disclipline to the company.
UBS resources analyst Glyn Lawcock welcomed the appointment of Mr Walsh, a ''safe pair of hands'' who was the ''logical successor'', and said the scale of the $3 billion impairment of the former Riversdale coal assets in Mozambique ''raises questions about the due diligence process and was the primary driver of the need for management accountability''.
But Mr Lawcock said while the size of impairments and management change were a surprise, these were ''legacy issues'' which did not impact UBS' valuation or earnings forecasts for Rio.
JPMorgan analyst Lyndon Fagan said the appointment of the capable Sam Walsh, ''a long standing steward of iron ore'' whose division already controlled three-quarters of Rio's earnings, was positive for shareholders on the basis it should result in an ''acute focus on capital discipline''.
''In our view, price weakness on the back of this announcement represents an attractive buying opportunity... in our view, the charges represent a clean out of carrying values, with further material charges unlikely medium term''.
Mr Fagan wrote: '' all senior executives responsible for the failed Alcan transaction, which has been an overhang since the deal was completed in 2007. This revitalization of management may encourage some investors back into the stock who exited following dissatisfaction with the deal.''
Citi's Clarke Wilkins said while yesterday's ''watershed'' announcement and ''mammoth writedowns'' would be perceived negatively in the short-term, they should significantly realign Rio Tinto with shareholder interests through reduced spending on mergers and acquisitions and capital expenditure.
''Though Rio had indicated the potential for write-downs in aluminium during its investor day in Sydney in November 2012, the size of writedowns will have taken the market by surprise, in our view.''

Winter Park, Fla. – The Saint Leo University men's soccer team (6-4-0, 3-4-0 SSC) fell to the Rollins College Tars (8-3-2, 3-2-1 SSC) in Sunshine State Conference action Saturday evening from Barker Family Stadium by a score of 4-0.
The Lions, who just two days earlier claimed a double-overtime win against conference rival Florida Southern, were unable to break through the tough Rollins' defense as the Saint Leo scoreboard remained unchanged throughout the contest.
The first goal of the game came in the 19th minute, when the Tars' Skyler Russell assisted the ball to midfielder Alex Bisbee, who headed the ball past the hands of Saint Leo goalkeeper, Manuel Shoenhuber, and into the net.
The second half of the match was a surge of energy for the Tars that allowed them to push past the Lions defense and score in the 51st, 72nd, and 84th minutes, finalizing the score at 4-0.
Despite the loss, the Lions made 11 shots in the contest, while both teams combined for a total of forty fouls and six yellow cards during the intense match.
The men's soccer team will return to play on Wednesday, October 17 from Saint Leo University field when they take on the Florida Tech Panthers, in what begins the plus-one non-conference portion of the season. Kickoff is slated for 5:00 p.m.

JAMIE Lyons, club secretary of three-time Premier Division title winners Biddestone Social has called time on their participation in the Chippenham & District Sunday League.
Lyons informed league secretary Frank Harvey that the team, managed by Ashley Smith and one of the most successful in recent years, were not in a position to complete their current league campaign despite having just four matches to play.
Social have cited the lack of players due to commitments to their Saturday's side most notably Toolstation League side Larkhall and Bradford Town.
Biddestone have had a team in the league for many years, although the current crop of players were nothing to do with the side from the late 70's to early 90's.
The former Biddestone side were Division Four runners-up in 1979. Two years later they claimed second spot in Division Three, the following season saw them promoted to Division One, once again they just missed out on the top spot.
In 1988 they finally made it into the league's newly-formed Premier Division and, after a wait of three seasons, they lifted the champions crown ahead of FC Cons.
The following season saw them miss out to an excellent Rose & Crown side but in 1994 they lifted the title for a last time before the club disbanded.
In the glory years they also lifted the Knockout Cup in 1993 with a record 14-1 victory over Bromham and finished runners-up to Rose & Crown and Shaw & Whitley Hibs.
Reformed as Biddestone Social Club they won their final game of 1999-2000 season to escape relegation to the bottom division.
The aging side then started to break up and a decision was taken to go for youth.
At the time Biddestone had a successful U18's team and six of these players were recruited to play alongside the youngsters they already had.
In 2001/-02 the young side surpassed all expectations and finished third in the division and, due to reorganisation of the league they found themselves in the second division.
Joint managers Ian Liversage and Russell Webster left the area to be replaced by John O' Meara who brought in a couple of older, more experienced, players to help the youngsters adapt to the better class of opposition.
The team did him proud and they were delighted to snatch runners up spot in Division Two to claim their first piece of silverware.
Biddestone took Division One by storm in 2004 and walked away with the title, completing a league and cup double by lifting the Subsidiary Cup.
They went on to finish fourth in the top flight in 2005 and since then they have been a one of the top sides in the league, finishing as runners up on four occasions to their nemesis Corsham Centre.
They suffered a shock Knockout Cup final defeat to Parsons Nose in 2006 but went on to lift the cup in both 2010 and 2011 and, having moved out of the shadows of the now-defunct Corsham side, Dan Lardner led the villagers to the Premier Division title in 2011 and 2012.
Under manager Ashley Smith they defended their title in style in 2013 and went on to have the best-ever season of any team in the league, completing an unprecedented quadruple by winning the Wiltshire Sunday Cup, the Knockout Cup for a third time in four years and Subsidiary Cup to complete a clean sweep of trophies.
Biddestone's withdrawal from the top flight, which follows in the footsteps of Corsham United, Steeple Ashton Rangers, FC Colerne and Bradford Renegades, hands the title to The Castle FC, who will finish top of the four remaining sides.
It also gives Castle a free passage to the final of the Knockout Cup as the sides were set to meet this weekend.
Tom Perkins' side, who are now on for a hat-trick of trophies, receive a walkover to April's final.

I smoked two butts on Saturday and since I've posted pics of them before, I decided not to take any photos this time. However, when my wife saw the pineapple upside-down cake that I made in the CG she said "you have got to take a picture of that".
It was cooked indirect with coals on both sides of the cast iron pan and 5 coals directly underneath.

Top 10 List for an Enjoyable Season
A few reminders to help everyone enjoy the season:
1. The game is for the KIDS. Let's all be positive and encourage our children to do their best and to have fun. Our example is their best teacher.
2. Our coaches and referees are all volunteers and trying to do their best. AYSO rules and the FIFA laws of the game do not allow for dissent. Please respect the game. It is unacceptable to disagree or argue calls made by referees on the field.
3. Only Coaches should be coaching players during a soccer match. Our coaches have spent many hours completing coach certification courses, coaching clinics and Safe Haven training. Parent coaching leads to confusion and distracts players from enjoying the experience.
Players play, Coaches coach, Referees referee, and Parents cheer!
4. Spectators. Parents and other spectators must sit on the side of the field that their team is assigned; home team on the North or West side and visiting team on the other. (The home team is the first team listed on the schedule). All spectators should remain in the center third of the field's sideline between the penalty boxes and at least 2 yards off the touchline. Our grass fields have a blue spectator line to help with this.
5. NO pets of any kind are allowed at the fields. No smoking or alcohol allowed at the fields. This is a health and safety issue as well as condition of our field permit with the City of Santa Monica, regardless of what the individual park policy may be.
6. Only water allowed on the artificial turf fields. These fields cannot be cleaned, so the City of Santa Monica allows only water to be brought onto the artificial turf. City Monitors patrol the turf fields (at our cost) and violations will jeopardize our opportunity to use these great fields. Please consume any snacks, gum or other drinks off the turf.
7. Respect our neighbors. All of our fields are in neighborhoods. Our neighbors deserve our respect and courtesy by not blocking driveways or littering. Please drive safely in the parking lots and around the playing fields.
8. Trash. The schools and parks do not clean up after us. Please pick up all trash and either dispose of it or carry it home with you. Parents in charge of refreshments should bring trash bags and take the trash bags home. Minimize your waste by bringing reusable water bottles.
9. Soccer is a team sport. Respect the coaches and teammates by getting your children to their games and practices on time (and picking up on time if you do not stay). Most coaches expect players to arrive 30-45 minutes in advance of the game for warm-ups.
10. Have fun. This is not the World Cup. College and pro scouts are not showing up at our games. Relax, take in the fresh air and enjoy the kids having a great time.

Pardon me if I do not enthusiastically celebrate National Procrastination Week, which begins Sunday.
I mean it would be in bad taste to put any energy into it.
That could be why Progress Energy Florida is embracing the celebration. The power company put out a press release suggesting we cut our energy use by procrastinating. Take the following tip:
"Did you wear a pair of jeans when you laid on the couch watching college basketball on Saturday?
Don't wash those jeans yet. There's pro basketball on Sunday! Wear them again! Running your
washer when full (not overloaded) will maximize the efficiency of your machine. Jeans, sweaters and
towels can often skip a wash or two, cutting down on the overall amount of laundry."
Um, think we can only get away with this at home, especially if any of us has spilled snacks, beer, wine or anything else while rooting for our team. Go out wearing your game menu and you could end up on the "People of Walmart" site.
Honestly, the release had me checking the calendar to make sure it came on March 1, not April 1.
The tongue in cheek suggestions from Progress can be found elsewhere on the Citizen website.
In the meantime, I think I'll put off doing something just to get in the mood for next week.

… or, in the words of 20 Cent (or is it Twenny?) … "Holy crap!"
1) They were booing Gary Bettman? Didn't his skills competition get the Flyers into the playoffs?
2) How about those Philly low-lifes booing the Cup?
3) What a weird way for a Cup championship to end. Too bad.
4) Once again, Philly goes down with a lower-level goalie. Because as good as Leighton was at times during these playoffs, that was a dreadful, awful, pathetic goal he allowed to Twenny.
5) Leino gets my vote for this year's Paul Mara Beard title.
6) Time to retire Kate Smith.
7) The only team with no ex-Rangers on it ends up with the title.
8) Seriously, though, the best team from the better conference won, and that's good for hockey.
9) It's stunning, isn't it, to see how much skill there was in that final — yes, Philly despite getting in with the shootout, has a lot of skill — and it makes you realize how far behind some other teams are … some teams we won't mention? A team, perhaps, that doesn't even really have a No. 1 line, and has only one first-pair defenseman. Chicago's going to be around a while, along with Pitt and Washington, for years. And if the Flys ever get a goalie, they ought to be a factor again.
10) I'm not sure who else could have won the Conn Smythe, but I don't know that Toews was far and away the best player in the tournament.
11) The handshake and the presentation of the two trophies, and then the passing of the Cup, is the best 5-10 minutes in all of sports.
12) That guy who guards the Cup — and he's a really good guy — does he go to the same barber as president/GM of your favorite team?
13) Jeremy Roenick. Get out.
14) No more "Edzos" until next season.
15) So who won our contests?
AFTERNOON UPDATE, 1:11 P.M.: The envelopes please …
The inaugural BSCFE (ap) Contest winners are:
Contest No. 1: Gift of GAB-orik (Vinny V); Contest No. 2: Izzy Mandelbaum.
FYI, Vinny was tied with "i don't know carcillo" but idkc didn't fill out his form correctly, didn't specify which games on the tiebreaker scores. Gabby had Hawks in 6, 4-3 final in the clincher and had the Hawks winning Game 1. Izzy picked Kane to score the Cup-clinching goal. He probably thinks he's better than us.
They will receive copies of the book "100 Ranger Greats" donated by the publisher, John Wiley and Sons Canada, Ltd.
Congrats, boys! e-mail me your mailing addresses at firstname.lastname@example.com.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Authorities have identified the 16-year-old carjacking suspect who they believed had barricaded himself in a home near the Mall at Millenia on on Tuesday but was nowhere to be found.
Police said they're still searching for Rijon Williams, 16, who is responsible for multiple carjackings throughout Central Florida.
The standoff took place in the Winter Run subdivision near Conroy Road and John Young Parkway, behind the IKEA shopping plaza.
Orange County Sheriff's Office said they were serving a warrant at 8:30 a.m. when the teen barricaded himself into a residence in the 5400 block of Axiom Avenue. Deputies evacuated 12 homes near the barricaded suspect, but when they went into the home no one was found.
Contact police if you have information on Williams' whereabouts.

I was reading on Realgm and saw someone said something about how we could use a legit center who can hit the 20 footer so that got me thinking about this possiable deal between Indiana and Miami:
Indiana Gets:
- Michael Doleac
Miami Gets:
- Anthony Johnson
I would only be for this deal first off if we are able to sign Saurnas J. This deal gives us a diffrent type of center because lets all face it, Dale, Jeff, Scot, and David are all pretty similar. Now we would defentily trade either Jeff or Pollard if we did this deal.
For Miami they get a PG which they really need right now with Keyon Dooling and Damon Jones opting out of there contracts and looking to get raises. Plus with Zo likely to re-sign with Miami they don't need Doleac. Sure there is a chance Zo might not be able to play because of his kidneys but I don't think it is to hard to find a hard nosed defenseive minded center.

The Cleopatra: The Classic
October 31: Glamour-puss Liz Taylor embodied her, and rumor has it Angelina will be next. In fact, I don't think there's a woman out there who doesn't fantasize about being the Queen of the Nile—the jewels! Mark Antony!—for one night, at least.
The Cleopatra: The Update
How I'd Style It for Everyday: This is an easy fix. I took my inspiration from Michael Kors, whose runway always hints at the decadence of the '70s. After all, didn't Studio 54 offer the same debauchery as the wild Egyptian times? (They shared a taste for outré eyeliner, at least.) I love the shine of gold lamé for day and the pleated fullness of the skirt; cutting it to knee length and pairing it with a sumptuous multi-ply cashmere sweater is the perfect example of modern chic.

INTREPID staff and students at Hanley Castle High School have defied flooding to break the school's attendance record.
Students have felt the impact of the floods since well before Christmas, but despite long detours, increased journey times and rural congestion, attendance rates for the academic year 2013/14 are still higher than any previous year.
And head Lindsey Cooke has described the figures as a tribute to the school community.
Jamie York, aged 13, travels by coach from Kinnersley, and although the flooding has increased his journey time by over twenty minutes, he has not missed a day.
He said: "It's inconvenient but you have to put your education first."
George Weaver, 14, has also never missed a day. He said: "We live on a farm in a valley. All the water is flowing down into the fields. The sheep are getting wet and basically freezing to death. We're really worried with the lambing season approaching."
Jack Walton, 16, cycles from Hanley Swan, and his journey has been affected, not by floodwater but by the dramatic increase in traffic as cars use the village as a detour.
Oliver Sutton, 12, who travels via Kempsey, suggested the road between Upton and Hanley Castle should be raised, or protected by a flood barrier. However, he is not to be deterred from his studies. "Once my parents actually drove me to the school through a field," he said.
Staff are also affected. Biology teacher Sharon Griffiths, who lives near the river Wye, said: "I regularly start my day wading through floodwater in the dark, often whilst trying to keep pupils' books out of the water."
Mrs Cooke said: "It's a tribute to all members of the school community that attendance is actually improving at a time when the school is virtually cut off from the outside world. "e share our students' concerns regarding the impact of flooding on local businesses and farms; however, the exam season is fast approaching and for our students it is very much business as usual."

WEST Bromwich Albion players James Morrison and Liam O'Neill popped into Stourbridge this week to pay tribute to their oldest fan.
Lifelong Baggies supporter Jack Jones celebrated his 106th birthday in February this year so the players dropped into Tudor Manor Care Home in Brook Street to mark the occasion.
The retired lorry driver was born in Enville in 1908 - just 30 years after the club was founded.
Albion were alerted about Jack after close friends Peter and Anne Greaves contacted the club.
So it was fitting that Albion's longest serving player James Morrison and exciting Academy product Liam O'Neil should thank him for his decades of support and present him with a Baggies shirt with 106 on the back.
Albion's chief executive Mark Jenkins said: "When we heard about Jack we felt it only right to congratulate him on reaching another landmark birthday and to thank him for his loyal support.
"Jack is clearly quite a character and we are honoured to call him one of our supporters."
Midfielder James added: "It was a real pleasure and honour to meet Jack.
"I've been playing for the club for seven seasons now and have been through plenty of ups and downs.
"But I cannot even begin to touch on the memories Jack must have from his time supporting the club."

DANNY Talbot says there are no hard feelings after leaving Chesham United for Southern League Premier Division leaders Hemel Hempstead in a shock move last week.
Talbot has been at The Meadow for five years and club captain for three and half of those, but after 262 games at The Meadow felt it was time for a change.
He said: "Sometimes you need a new challenge. I felt I was maybe getting a bit stale and not performing as well as I'd like to.
"I was told after the Taunton game that Hemel were interested and I felt it was time for a new challenge. It was an incredibly difficult decision. I've had a good five years at Chesham and really enjoyed my time there.
"It's a great club and I'd been there a long time."
It's not good timing for Chesham though, as they battle to regain the form that has made them perennial promotion candidates.
Manager Andy Leese said: "It was a surprise, but I'd seen signs things weren't right.
"We did try and keep him. We didn't just let him walk away."
Meanwhile, Talbot has tipped his former team-mates to reach the play-offs again.
He said: "I can't see why they can't emulate what they achieved last season. They've got a great new signing in Scott McGleish who will hopefully turn things around and I see no reason why they can't finish inside the top five."
Chesham go to Hemel Hempstead on February 2.

- " Really nice place to stay, staff were friendly and helpful, the room was really nice, clean and spacious! Great value for money (hostel prices with hotel accomodation) and much more luxurious in comparison to lots of hostes I stayed at across Europe! The only downside was that it wasn't walking distance to the city centre but there were lots if restaurants and little shops close by and the bus stop was about a 5-7 minute walk away. "

Christmas has come early for US traders – Christmas trading levels, that is. Volumes in the benchmark S&P 500 index are down to levels only seen in the last five years in Christmas week. Perhaps investors are just determined to enjoy their time at the beach after having to deal with a crisis every summer for the past three years.
Whatever the cause, the volumes are miserable. The thick line here shows the five-day moving average, smoothing out the daily swings in the thin line. The five-day average has just dropped below the low point of last August and is now the lowest apart from Christmases since Bloomberg's data series started in 2008. Read more

A YOUNG mum furious after finding out she had married a 'paedophile' launched a campaign of death threats against her mother-in-law for not telling her, a court heard.
Stephanie Dawn Simcock, 25, left a string of chilling messages for the victim Kim Simcock, threatening the lives of her family and saying that she would burn her house down and had made a bomb.
She told Mrs Simcock she was going to make their lives hell and said: "Don't leave your house after 9pm. That's the best time to kill you."
Burnley magistrates were told how Simcock, who also threatened death on her jailed husband, made about 60 silent phone calls to the police from her mobile in one day.
The defendant, whose ex-'trainee priest' husband Richard, 28, is serving 10 years behind bars for sexually abusing two girls some years ago, was arrested and told police she blamed Mrs Simcock for not telling her about her son.
She added: "I can't get to him because he's in prison. I can get to his family."
The defendant, formerly of Bacup Road, Rawtenstall, admitted sending by the public communications network an offensive or menacing message, on or between February 22 and 28 and persistently making use of a public communications network to cause annoyance/ inconvenience/anxiety, on February 28. Both offences took place at Bacup.
She was jailed for a total of 12 weeks.

- Jerry Sandusky attorney seeks new trial in child sex abuse case
Jerry Sandusky attorney seeks new trial in child sex abuse case
By Christine Mai-Duc
An attorney for Jerry Sandusky appeared before a panel of judges Tuesday, requesting a new trial for the former Penn State assistant football coach in his sexual child abuse case.
The arguments made by appeals attorney Norris Gelman on behalf of Sandusky included claims that his defense did not have enough time to prepare for trial, that prosecutors made improper statements during trial and that the trial judge mishandled jury instructions.
Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30-to-60-year sentence in state prison after being convicted last year on dozens of counts of child sexual abuse while at Penn State, where he had been an assistant for decades under Coach Joe Paterno. Sandusky was not present in the courtroom for the hearing Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Gelman argued in Pennsylvania Superior Court that the trial judge should have instructed jurors to consider the length of time it took Sandusky's victims to come forward to report the abuse, in some cases more than a decade.
The state attorney general's office, which prosecuted the case, said that jurors were fully informed about the delays and that Sandusky's attorneys had made clear they believed the victims' delay indicated they were trying to cash in on the allegations.
The attorney general's office, in its appeals brief, said the victims had good reason not to disclose the abuse immediately. "Not only were they ashamed of the acts of abuse, but Sandusky gave them gifts … and was a prominent figure who was more likely to be believed than they were."
Gelman said prosecutors also improperly referenced the fact that Sandusky did not take the stand during trial. Asked whether Sandusky's defense team had requested a mistrial as a result of the statements, Gelman said no, but added that the offense was "so egregious" that the judge should have acted, regardless.
"When a defendant doesn't testify, you can't make any mention of it and consider it a badge of guilt," Gelman told the Los Angeles Times in a phone interview. "He strengthened the Commonwealth's case and weakened the defense."
He also argued that the defense attorney was not given sufficient time to prepare for trial, despite statements from Sandusky trial lawyer Joe Amendola months after the trial that he hadn't found any evidence that would have changed his approach.
Still, said Gelman, Amendola was deluged with thousands of pages of documents in a matter of weeks.
"He was just trying the case blindly," Gelman told The Times.
The three-judge panel did not indicate when they would rule.

How the Economy Is Affecting You
The fascinating – and sometimes surprising – results of our survey on women and the economy.
-The Betty Editors
How do women feel about the economy right now? That's what we wanted to find out at BettyConfidential with our recent survey. And almost 1600 of you, from around the country, shared your feelings about "the great recession" we are all living through. You told us how today's challenging economy has affected both your attitudes and your lifestyle in some expected – and some surprising – ways.
For example, almost 70 percent of the survey's respondents said that, at least sometimes, they would like the man in their lives to be solely responsible for earning money for the family. We asked: "Do you sometimes wish it was the way it used to be when men were supposed to be the primary breadwinners and women stayed home to take care of the house and the kids?" Twenty-six percent of the women polled gave an unqualified "Yes!" Forty-three percent said they "sometimes" wanted a return to those traditional ways. Only 31 percent did not want their man to be the sole breadwinner. We've come a long way, baby – but is it where we want to be?
That is just one of the surprising opinions you shared with us. You also told us that almost half of you (48 percent) think the economy is worse than last year. Maybe that's because 12 percent of you have lost your jobs and 11 percent have moved to cheaper homes because of the downturn.
And as the holiday approaches you are keeping your cash and credit cards zipped inside your wallets. Sixty-three percent of respondents said they will spend less this holiday season than last. And even if they receive a Christmas bonus (which this year won't be many of us!), 75 percent said they will use it either to pay off credit-card debt or just plain save it. Only 7 percent would indulge in a little retail therapy for themselves.
The flagging economy has changed family behavior, too. Nowadays more than one in four women confess to getting money from their parents, while 10 percent told us they now give money to their parents. Couples fight about spending too much. (Thirty-seven percent because he's the big spender. Slightly less, 32 percent, because she is too extravagant.) And money concerns affect singles, too. Almost 53 percent of our unmarried respondents said a potential mate's earning power has become, at least somewhat, more important. But 47 percent told us their date's salary is not important and still think money can't buy love.
Women have become thrifty in various practical ways. They spend less on eating out and entertainment (32 percent). They have cut back on makeup and clothes (29 percent) and things for the house (27 percent). But they still are indulgent with the kids: Only 8 percent said they are buying less for their children.
As for the future, the participants have concerns about being able to live the way the want (31 percent), ending up "old and poor" (27 percent), facing big medical bills (22 percent) or not being able to give their children "what they should have" (27 percent). These are worries that we can all understand.
Yet despite all the financial difficulties and stress it's caused, the current difficult economy has had some benefits as well. And women realize this. Almost half said they see the crisis as a way "to learn to be more practical about money. And nearly one–third (32 percent) look on it as "a way to focus on the more important things in life" … which we all know money can't buy.

The Crap We Missed – Monday 7.23.12
Welcome to Monday's The Crap We Missed which, I'm not going to lie, is packed full of random bikini chicks. (GOTCHA!) But in between those people whose names aren't exactly relevant because their lady parts are in bikinis, we've also got Sharon Stone's nipples' only weakness which apparently is a fuck-ton of money, John Cusack saw what all of you wrote on the IMDB comment thread for The Raven, and Shia LaBeouf preps materials for what I'm sure is some sort of awful street art structure (Let's call it Douche Majal, shall we?).
Hey look, Arnold Schwarzenegger saw a cloud that looks like mulatto ass,

Dealing with diabetes exposed another dimension of Brett Rubin's determination to heal the world.
Mitzvah Hero: Richboro 13-year-old Brett Rubin — "Yes, I am officially a teenager. Yay 13!" — volunteers and advocates for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, an agency he credits with helping him battle Type 1 diabetes.
What It's All About: Brett was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 3, the same year he started religious preschool at Ohev Shalom of Bucks County.
"In some ways I feel so grateful — if you're gonna get Type 1 diabetes — that I was surrounded by God, my rabbi, and too many kind teachers to name," praises the Richboro Middle School student.
Brett, son of Sandy and Paul Rubin, says the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is "a part of my family. I call them my life-savers because Type 1 diabetes never sleeps and I know the JDRF is working 24/7 to help find a cure."
In return, he does his part to support the agency. He served as a Pennsylvania delegate to JDRF's Children's Congress and was named a junior ambassador of the foundation. He's received six Golden Sneaker Awards over the years for his involvement and also won JDRF's 2012 Advocate of the Year Award. He lived up to that honor by interacting with top members of Congress in Washington, D.C., notably Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick of Bucks County. Fitzpatrick, who calls Brett a "little lobbyist," even attended the teen's Bar Mitzvah and wound up with a speaking role.
Not a One-Time Thing: When it came time for Brett's Bar Mitzvah project, surprisingly he did not focus on diabetes advocacy. Instead he chose to honor his late brother, Alexander, who died before Brett was born, by helping lead his synagogue's Thursday night minyan.
Brett credits his mother, cantor Paul Frimark (coincidentally a former controller of the Jewish Exponent), Rabbi Eliott Perlstein and "minyan master" Saul Jacobs "for teaching me that it's not about what's comfortable, it's about showing up when you don't have to." This self-described optimist says he knows "that the world is broken and needs people to help repair it."
Good for Him: "I feel blessed that I can make a difference," says the teen. After sharing his story with Fitzpatrick, the politician participated in a JDRF kids walk sporting a "Brett's Band" t-shirt. Brett gives the shirts to those who walk with him to raise money for the foundation. Fitzpatrick is part of a chain of change, Brett says: "He changed my life; the JDRF changed my life; Ohev changed my life."

Lost In A CaveIn Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.
Three boys were out hiking one day and they came across a cave. They went inside the cave for a while and when they exited, a boy was missing. The other two went back inside the cave to look for him. On the walls were numbers in green paint that they hadn't noticed beforehand. The numbers were as follows:
4 8 20 21 10 27 36 23 22
After they wrote the numbers in a notebook, they came across a letter written in the same green paint. It read:
Oh, it bothers me to write letters like this. Of how I came across this event I am not aware. However, things must be done. I have written the numbers on the walls. You must use these numbers to find my hiding spot. Good Luck. - The Missing Boy
How should you find him?
AnswerBy using the numbers in combination with the letter. Start at the beginning of the letter the boy wrote and skip the number of letters indicated in the number sequence given to get each letter in turn. (Note that spaces do not count as letters.)
Skip 4 letters from beginning: B
Skip 8 letters: E
Skip 20 letters: H
Skip 21 letters: I
Skip 10 letters: N
Skip 27 letters: D
Skip 36 letters: Y
Skip 23 letters: O
Skip 22 letters: U
Therefore, he is hiding BEHIND YOU.

I really would like to think that we're on the cusp of a real watershed moment in gaming. Not in graphics fidelity, or hardware power, or anything that concrete; rather, right now, there is a conversation happening that's opening up gaming culture and communities to some serious self-analysis – which is a pretty good thing. It's not comfortable; folks are getting angry, on all sides of a multi-faceted debate that's almost too complex to explain.
Thing is, it only means something if people know what's going on, understand the concepts being engaged, and then make a decision themselves – to help change games into a better, safer place for all gamers.
The debate is around whether or not gaming culture is inherently sexist, even dangerous for women to be a part of; for the first time a lot of gamers are hearing terms like 'rape culture', and unsurprisingly the reactions are not positive. As more and more women (and not a few men) speak out on something that they perceive as having always been there, but yet is really only now being explored in depth, more and more gamers are feeling like they, and the hobby they love, are under personal attack.
If you have a look at some of the comments aimed at female journalists writing about any kind of gender imbalance, you can already see how personal some male gamers are taking any perceived criticism. What we can take away from this is that there's a certain lack when it comes to critically digesting what's actually being said.
I think, in the minds of a lot of gamers, it goes a lot like this:
It's a natural enough reaction, but it's worth pointing out that it's not what's going on. The truth is, if gaming does have an inherent rape culture, or is sexist, or whatever, the vast majority of people involved are not even aware of it, and cannot be blamed – and are not being blamed.
Ideally, the engagement should go something like this:
For that to happen, though, it helps to know what's actually being referred to when someone talks about rape culture. Thankfully, here's a really handy blog post from Fox Meadows that does just that, and I would call it essential reading for anyone interested in the current debate. It's not a comfortable read, nor a short one, but I implore everyone to give it a solid look-over, and to do so without taking personal offense.
For the tl;dr crowd, though, what Meadows breaks down is what it means when people say gaming is a culture conducive to violence against women. She explains that it does not mean gamers are rapists, but rather that the culture surrounding gaming, the fact that 'rape' is considered a viable term for victory, and a permissible threat to others – literal or not – is deeply problematic.
Meadows' article is also packed with links to examples of that very culture of violence in action, typically against women who have the temerity to bring it up.
If you want to have a look at an example of the way gamers treat women differently, there's an interesting one closer to home. My homey Michelle Starr, over at CNET, observed a marked difference in how her criticism of the most recent Hitman: Absolution trailer (which sparked a lot of the current debate) was received, compared to two male journalists, namely myself and Kotaku's Mark Serrels. It too is worth looking at, but to summarise, while Mark and I were generally engaged in a mature manner, whether our readers agreed with us or not, her commenters were much more aggressive in the nature of their responses.
As Meadows says in her piece above, and this is a paraphrase, disagreeing with someone who's trying to point out sexism in gaming by posting porn to her wiki page kind of proves the original point.
The big question, then, is what do we all do about this now?
For one thing, gamers need to stop getting angry. We need to step back and listen to what is being said; no one's saying that we need to stop gaming, or saying that we're rapists ourselves, but rather that we should change the way we game, and the way we interact with those we game with. A few months ago I made a personal call, around the use of the word 'gay' as a pejorative, and I think it's time the same should be asked of the word rape.
How about we stop using it? It hurts people.
Which is a thing right there. Way too often in this, as in many other passionate debates, a common response goes along the line of 'I do not understand your problem, therefore it is not a problem'. That being the case, try to have a little bit of empathy; realise that different people have different perceptions of the world. Do not measure their problems by the lack of yours.
We also need to stop attacking the people who are pointing out these uncomfortable truths. Play the ball, guys, not the writer kicking it. Let's try to engage in reasoned, mature debate, even if we do disagree with what's being said. In fact, especially if we disagree.
But let's try to entertain the idea that the other guy or gal might just be right.
More importantly, though, we need to understand that, basically, a lot of us are still making this up as we go along. The guys behind the Hitman trailer never intended to make a paean to beating up women; they werejust literally unaware of the impact of what they were doing. I am sure that the Tomb Raider crew has the best intentions when it comes to Lara Croft's origin story; so let's tell them they're wrong when they try to say that a woman needs a man to protect her from rape, but do it rationally. Similarly, I hope that when someone hears a criticism, they can pull back and listen to the facts, whether they're a gamer, developer, or whatever.
I love gaming. Too often it ends up being work for me, but guess what I do to relax? Yeah, I find another game. But it occurs to me that we're all in a unique position, right now, to enact real change.
Please; start listening. I beg you; stop the hate. Just... listen to what's being said.
Can't we all just game, and in doing so, make gaming even better?

What am I doing wrong here?? I'm trying to capture the cookie as well, which I think I'm doing right.
Please help:(

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/5/2010 (2664 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I've finally figured out what's happening in Phoenix: It's Winnipeg in 1995 all over again.
Deadlines involving the Coyotes come and go. Schemes to raise money to cover losses get more outlandish. Prospective owners pop up, disappear, then magically reappear again. All the while, there's a fringe group demanding that the City of Glendale not pump more public funds into the NHL money pit.
The only difference, of course, is that nobody really cares.
They can't, because that's the only explanation for the absurd nature of the manic lease negotiations now said to involve Ice Edge Holdings, who re-emerged as potential owners for the team on Thursday -- perhaps due to the small fact that NHL-sanctioned suitor Jerry Reinsdorf was trying to float a $165-million tax balloon that even the insanely generous city fathers couldn't swallow.
All the NHL wants is for the city to cover the Coyotes losses -- which even when modestly operated by the NHL could be between $20 million to $30 million this year. Oh, and don't forget Ice Edge has proposed to have the Coyotes play a handful of games in a small Canadian market thousands of kilometres away.
But by far the biggest development revealed in Scott Burnside's espn.com report Thursday night was that the NHL and True North officials have cobbled together some sort of if-all-else-fails agreement to move the team to Winnipeg if the NHL can't sell to Ice Edge. It's not the first time such a report has surfaced, but it's the first time being reported by credible, international mainstream media outlet.
A few months back the Arizona Business Journal cited sources in Phoenix who said the NHL had brokered a tentative agreement with True North partner and billionaire David Thomson to move the Coyotes to Winnipeg as a "Plan C". Not only did True North officials vehemently deny the ABJ report, they stressed that Thomson would not be involved in any direct negotiations. As an investor, Thomson isn't involved in the day-to-day operations at True North.
Interestingly, as per standard procedure, True North spokesman Scott Brown issued a statement Friday about how the Winnipeg-based group wanted to respect the process and parties involved and reiterated Thompson's arms-length status. But nowhere in the release was there a denial about a tentative side deal between the NHL and True North, as espn.com reported.
Look, we've said in this space countless times that if the NHL doesn't have an emergency plan for the Coyotes they are a few pucks short of a bucket. And I've posited that the entire negotiation with Reinsdorf may have just been a charade in the first place.
That opinion has only been more steeled with this 11th hour flip flop from Glendale council.
But there is also a chance that nothing is real and this is all just bluffs and public posturing. And, yes, Winnipeg could be being played as a diversion or pawn.
All I know is that there are two options left (until that changes, too): The City of Glendale will have to bend over give the NHL its concessions, worth tens of millions, so that the NHL can sell the team to a group with unproven financial wherewithal. I mean, this would only be the 934th time, give or take, that someone with no real money has tried -- some successfully -- to buy an NHL team. You can look it up.
That would mean throwing more good money after bad on a team that has not only never made a dime, but has lost hundreds of millions of dollars. It would mean selling to a group that may or may not be able to afford future losses, which would probably default back to the city. And it would mean facing a possible court challenge by a local government watchdog group, which could delay the sale and leave the league on the hook for the Coyotes losses for next season.
The only other remaining option now would be to stop the pretending and do something the NHL desperately didn't want to do: Sell the team to a Canadian market at a bargain sale price and try to put a happy face on an abject failure in Phoenix.
There's evidence to support the former theory. It can literally be seen in the $180-million jobing.com Arena built with Glendale taxpayer's money.
But just like in Winnipeg when the Jets died, there's ample optics to read the tea leaves another way; where the NHL, with more financially-troubled teams in the weeds, will no longer be able to hold Glendale for ransom, if only because you can't keep supporting a catastrophic mirage.
In other words, no scheme or tax plan or bailout will work because the economic model is fatally flawed.
That sounds so 1995.
