The correct answer to this play is "A": It's interference by the batter, and the batter is declared out. Rule 6.06(c) covers this infraction as do Rules 7.08(b) and 7.09(L). We're happy to say that the majority of fans answered this correctly! Here are some of the correct responses we received:
The options were:A. The batter is out for interference.
I think the correct answer is A because of rule:
"7.09(L) He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball, or intentionally interferes with a thrown ball, provided that if two or more fielders attempt to field a batted ball, and the runner comes in contact with one or more of them, the umpire shall determine which fielder is entitled to the benefit of this rule, and shall not declare the runner out for coming in contact with a fielder other than the one the umpire determines to be entitled to field such a ball; When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called."
But as everybody can see in the video, the batter-runner is not going to first base. He's just standing outside of the batter's box watching the ball. So he is not "protected" by the last part of 7.09(L).
So I would call, "That's Interference. Time! Batter's out!" And no runner shall advance on such a play!
-- P. Géronne, Germany
According to rule 6.06(c), Paul Konerko should be called out, as he interfered with the catcher's ability to catch an easy pop-up. The rule states: (c) A batter is out for illegal action when he interferes with the catcher's fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter's box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base. Konerko clearly hindered the catcher's ability to make the play.
-- Matt Warner
In this situation, I would call Konerko out for interference, as described in Rule 7.09 (l). Konerko failed to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball. If Konerko was running to first base instead of standing on the plate, there probably would be no call if he bumped the catcher while vacating the batter's box. This is incidental contact as noted in Rule 7.09(L).

With his unique blend of profundity, sensitivity, learning, and humor, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.> explores some of the core questions that engage thinking, mature people:
What is my function in life? How can I relate to my soul while continuing to nurture my body? How can I turn meaning into a practical, satisfying reality, instead of a fluffy cliche?
In this book, Rabbi Twerski is not dealing with problems. He is sitting down with his readers and having a heart-to-heart discussion on how to make life more meaningful. He is an acknowledged master of the entertaining story and down-to-earth common sense. His real world advice and guidance have helped tens of thousands of people enrich their lives.
The contemporary media is filled with dialogue of how people -- even very successful ones -- complain about a spiritual or emotional vacuum that prevents life from being as full and happy as it should and could be. The Torah has the answers. As a world-renowned psychiatrist, Rabbi Twerski shows us how the Torah speaks to modern man in terms relevant to todays complicated world.
Rabbi Twerski has a lifetime of achievement and countless salvaged lives and families to his credit. In Dearer Than Life, he brings his career to a new plateau of public service.
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., is a descendant of the founders of the Chassidic movement, whose philosophy he embraces and applies in his psychiatric practice. An ordained Rabbi, Dr. Twerski is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and founder and Medical Director of Gateway Rehabilitation Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dr. Twerskis earlier works, Living Each Day, Living Each Week, Growing Each Day, Smiling Each Day, I Am I, Self Improvement? -- Im Jewish!, Mesillas Yesharim -- Lights Along the Way, Positive Parenting, Not Just Stories and Getting Up When Youre Down have established his position as a Torah scholar who possesses psychological insights that enhance application of Torah principles to everyday life.

A local State of Emergency was declared in Howell Township on Monday morning.
An email from Township Manager Helene Schlegel said the status change does not include a travel ban at this time, "However, we strongly urge that residents stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary."
The Emergency Operations Center remains active and Schlegel said it will remain that way until conditions change. Residents with non-emergency storm related questions and issues should call 732-414-3239.
There are three reception centers in the township to take people to shelters if they are interested. They are the Southard Fire House at Route 9 and New Friendship Road, the Adelphia Fire Department Substation on Route 33 and the Ramtown Fire Department on Ramtown-Greenville Road.

For a while, when the Indianapolis 500 was as iconically American as stars and stripes and apple pie, its rock star was a California guy named Parnelli Jones.
He symbolized his generation's need for speed. He sat on the pole at Indy and in our frontal lobe of sports heroes. He was 1960s cool. Buzz haircut, cowboy hat, heavy foot. He was handsome, fearless and fast in a car at a time when that made legends. Grease under the fingernails helped too.
It will bother the pre-baby boomers that Jones will turn 80 in August. It will also fascinate them to know that, at times, he is still that rock star. Sunday is the 50th anniversary of Jones' 1963 victory at Indy. Indy has made many wrong turns along the way since, in areas of leadership and marketing, but it deserves credit for celebrating its past.
Saturday morning at the Brickyard, Jones will climb into his famous No. 98 roadster.
"It'll be like putting on an old glove," Jones says.
He will lead 33 cars in the traditional 11 rows of three, the others also '60s roadsters, preserved for times like this. Jones' No. 98 has been in the racing museum at Indy but remains basically the same car he drove across the bricks the winner on May 30, 1963.
This will be ceremonial. Fifty years ago, it was real, 500 miles of speed, endurance, blood and guts. Also controversy.
Late in the race, Jones' car, in the lead, leaked oil and prompted demands he be black-flagged (ordered into the pits).
"There were lots of cars leaking the whole race," Jones says now. "Mine sealed, and I ran the fastest all day on one of my last laps."
Jones was allowed to keep running. When he won, his time was the first-ever finish under 3 1/2 hours, 3:29.35.40.
The next day, at the victory banquet, another driving legend, Eddie Sachs, congratulated Jones and said he should have been disqualified. Sachs claimed he spun in Jones' oil. Jones responded that there had been lots of oil, not just his. They argued. Sachs told Jones to take the first punch. Jones did. Sachs left and returned with his own version of a bandage for his punched mouth — a black-flag handkerchief.
The press loved it. So did Jones.
"He was great for our sport," Jones says now. "He was a talker like Muhammad Ali."
The next year, Jones was on the backstretch on his second lap when he saw the yellow flag come out and looked left.
"It looked like the entire grandstand was on fire," he says. "If there had been an exit on turn 3, I would have taken it."
Dave MacDonald, driving an ill-handling car, had crashed, and his car exploded. Sachs crashed into MacDonald. Sachs died from the impact, MacDonald from burns.
Some fifty laps later, Jones pitted, headed back out to race and saw other crews waving at him to stop. He was on fire.
"I eased the car into the infield and bailed out," he says.
That incident, in which Jones suffered serious but not life-threatening burns, was his worst racing accident. . Jones had good fortune and common sense. He ran at Indy seven years, never started farther back than sixth, finished second in '65 and sixth in his last race in '67 when a bearing broke on his STP Turbine and led 492 of the 1,130 laps he raced at Indy.
"I never really retired," he says. "I just started getting into cars with roll bars."

At a security company's upcoming annual counter-terrorism summit in San Diego, security experts like former special operations warfighters, national security personnel, and other notables will learn how to combat a so-far unreal scenario: a zombie apocalypse.
The Military Times reports The HALO Corporation will take over San Diego's 44-acre Paradise Point resort for the last week of October and stage realistic scenarios like terrorist attacks and natural disasters in an effort to share knowledge among the thousand or so soldiers, law enforcement personnel, medics, and other security experts on hand.
However, one class in particular, "Zombie Apocalypse" -- modeled after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) recent tongue-in-cheek zombie survival memo of the same name -- is making headlines.
Participants in the zombie class are, "going to see a lot of stuff go down," promises the president of the HALO Corporation Brad Barker. Despite its fantastical premise, he vows the zombie scenario will help emergency responders in real-life emergencies, "deal with extreme medical situations when people can become 'crazed and violent,' triggering widespread panic."

As the world's 10th largest economy and one of the fastest to emerge from the global recession, Brazil is the hot market of the moment, and not just because of its famous beaches. With a stable currency; a growing, consumption-oriented middle class; and a gross domestic product expected to rise at 4% to 5% per year over the next 10 years, it's no surprise that Latin America's biggest market is attracting CFOs' attention: nearly one-third of finance chiefs considering international market expansion over the next two years have set their sights on Brazil, according to the Duke University/CFO Magazine Global Business Outlook Survey.
But the promise of growth — so enticing in the face of a weak recovery in the United States and Europe — doesn't come without strings attached. Finance chiefs and other experts who have been in the market for years warn that Brazil's tax and legal systems are among the world's most convoluted. A thicket of labor laws can also ensnare unsuspecting businesses, and corruption and personal security remain much more significant concerns than in more-fully developed markets.
Yet despite these serious risks, companies continue to flock to Brazil. Larry Harding, president of High Street Partners, an international business-services firm that advises companies on overseas expansion, has more clients interested in entering the country than ever before. High Street recently opened a Miami office to serve as a support hub for its growing volume of business in Brazil.
Paul Lehmann, finance chief at Overhead Door, a maker of residential and commercial garage doors, began researching the opportunities in Brazil in 2007. Although the company sells doors there through its international sales group, it has yet to establish its own subsidiary in the region. "Brazil is certainly on our radar screen," Lehmann says, "not only for its own population, but also as a portal to the rest of Latin America." Still, he notes that the country's infrastructure continues to develop, posing potential distribution challenges, and that for a small company like Overhead Door, import duties are prohibitively high. As a result, "we're hunting for joint-venture partners that would allow us to expand there." Lehmann is also considering partnerships in other Latin American countries that might provide entree to Brazil without the crippling import taxes.
"Brazil is an interesting and unique blend of opportunity and risk," says Thack Brown, CFO of SAP Latin America and a nine-year resident of the country. "The biggest advice I would give to someone looking to expand into Brazil would be to take the time to really understand the environment. You want to get into Brazil a little bit slower than you would some other more-developed, more-transparent markets."
To that end, here are a few of the most commonly cited stumbling blocks on the road to success in Brazil, and some seasoned market participants' suggestions for avoiding them.
Taxing Terrain
Finance chiefs love to complain about taxes the world over, but Brazilian taxes are in a class of their own, say many CFOs. "If it's not the most complicated tax system in the world, it's certainly right up there," says Mark Buthman, finance chief at Kimberly-Clark, the consumer packaged goods giant, which has approximately 3,000 people in its Brazilian operation. "It's not uncommon to have disagreements with the taxing authorities that you have to work through over time." Often, the existing tax rules do not apply neatly to a modern business's products or services, which can lead to misinterpretation, notes Brown.

Although March saw record warmth, officials say back-to-back La Nina events are also behind the drier than normal conditions. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.
Most of the Southwest as well as parts of California and the Southeast can expect drought conditions to worsen through July, federal forecasters said Thursday.
"Overall, the current Drought Outlook is not optimistic," the National Weather Service said in summarizing its forecast.
Besides affecting farmers and ranchers, drought means a greater risk of wildfires, especially in those areas expecting a warmer than average spring. A rash of brush fires earlier this month up and down the East Coast could be a preview of a long, hot spring and summer.
"May – July is expected to be warmer than normal" in the Southwest and West, the service added in a more detailed report.
"For most of the southwestern and western part of the country, drought is expected to persist in most locations and expand into the central Rockies," it added.
"In addition, mountain snowpack, the source of a lot of the region's moisture, is starting off below normal, and as a result summer streamflows are expected to be abnormally low," forecasters noted.
Arizona and New Mexico, both states in drought, last year saw their worst wildfire seasons on record. Parts of both states should see some improvement along their southern borders, the forecast stated, but most of their areas will see continued or even worsening drought.
Most of California and Nevada, as well as parts of Colorado, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington state, are also forecast to see drought persisting or intensifying.
On the East Coast, most of Georgia and South Carolina, as well as parts of Alabama, Delaware and Maryland, are expected to see continued or worse drought conditions.
Florida, on the other hand, was forecast to see improvement across the entire state.

Most commodities come with a clear price attached to a distinct amount. A bag of potatoes, a can of beans, a jar of peanut butter….the cost of these is stamped on a sign at the grocery and an individual label breaks down the nutritional details.
Electricity is sold with a price tag also, a price per kilowatt. Every month, customers pay a provider based on how many kilowatts their household has used. But there's no label breakdown.
We don't know how much electricity was expended to power the HVAC or dishwasher or fridge or computer. It's a mystery what caused that spike in our bill. Our worst power phantoms are hiding.

I"ts very expensive and not worth the money. besides that it;s very unsanatary, for instance the week before i quit we had no soap for the dishwasher! the entire week! the food is never stored properly, not to mention the illeagal workers running the kitchen. the owner is never around and does not care about his establishment. the womans room soap despencer had been broken for 2 weeks! not sure if he ever replaced it , i didnt stick around cause for 4 months no one recieved a paycheck!
and if we did well it would bounce at the bank. he lost his alcohol licence for not paying his taxes but still contuines to allow people to byob,which he doesnt have licencing do either.. He doesnt even pay the utility bills the gas company came to shut the gas off for non payment and he tried to bribe the guy with a gift certificate! He's a very bad man involved with some very bad people. Ever hear of "Goodfella's"? it's kinda like that.....
Don't waste your money – Fail to honor reservation times-rude comments by staff
Food- not worth the price
If you go- good luck

text: I have a 2 loop system that uses 1 pump on each loop and 1 pump that circulates between the 2 loops. The power to the house was temporarily shut off for 3hrs and now only the lower loop is circulating hot water. The hot water will only go as far as the pump on the 2nd loop and it stops. I have changed out the 2nd pump thinking that was the cause but it didnt make any change. I also tried to purge the upper loop to get any air out that might be locking it up but still no change. The system ran for 3 years without any problems.

Carmelo Anthony 'probable' for Knicks-Magic
The New York Knicks received a nugget of good news Wednesday, a day after finding out that All-Star center Tyson Chandler will be out another week and Kurt Thomas won't play until mid-April.
According to tweets Wednesday morning from multiple news outlets, Carmelo Anthony is listed as "probable" for Wednesday night's game at Madison Square Garden against the Orlando Magic. Anthony hasn't played since March 13 in a game against his former team, the Denver Nuggets, when he tangled his feet and went down after playing only 21 minutes.
Anthony had his sore right knee drained last Thursday and has missed three games since the injury, a stretch in which the Knicks have gone 1-2. This will be the fourth and final meeting between the Knicks and Magic this season as New York looks to go 4-0 on the season against Orlando.
Knicks are saying Carmelo Anthony is probable tonight.—

Some good news: Carmelo Anthony now listed as probable for tonight's game vs. Orlando. Now if he can just find 7 or 8 healthy teammates.—

Columbia >Liquor Stores > Mr Friendly's New Southern
2001 Greene St Ste A, Columbia, SC | Directions 2920534.000195 -81.018271
Mon. - Fri. 11am - 2:30pm;Sat. 5:30pm - 10am;Sun. CLOSED
Neighborhoods: Midtown - Downtown
In a class of it's own – If I ever want to impress myself with Columbia, I go to Mr Friendly's. Ricky and his crew are top notch. I loved on New Orleans for 9 years and the food and wine here are as good as it gets in Columbia.
a must-try if you are in Columbia! – this is a favorite of locals and for good reason! the waitstaff is full of fun, knowledgeable folks who love food and wine. the owners are Ricky Mollohan (who also owns Solstice Kitchen & Wine Bar) and Harold Ham and both of these guys will make sure your experience is flawless!
their wine list is full of great "finds" and the menu offers lots of choices with Daily Specials that rival some of the most innovative restaurants in the state. The food is always fresh, the place is always packed and they don't take any reservations. They are also now 100% smoke free! Do yourself a favor and find this place as soon as you get to Columbia!
WOW!! Another winner!! – I have reviewed the other restaurant that these guys own (Gervais & Vine) and recently tried this place. WOW!! It's kind of an unassuming place, so when you see the menu and experience the friendly, professional service, you are just blown away. I had clients from Atlanta and they couldn't believe how good this place is. Two of us had their Filet Mignon with Pimento Cheese. OMIGOD! It wasn't cheddar, instead they used blue cheese and roasted red peppers and melted over the perfectly cooked Filet. The wine the waiter recommended was perfect (and they have a huge list, which is strange 'cuz this place is SMALL). We had two of their daily specials and couldn't believe we were eating in Columbia. DON'T MISS THIS PLACE!!

Penguins still roosting atop my Power Rankings
For the second straight week, the Penguins keep the top spot in the SI.com Power Rankings. I'm not taking as much grief for my decision to put them there as I did last week, not with the Blackhawks and Ducks and Bruins (oh, my) all starting to lose some games. Meanwhile, the Wild have cracked the top 5 for the first time as woebegone Colorado and Florida hold down the rear.
To the list...
Last Week: 1
Pittsburgh Penguins (25-8-0)Does GM Ray Shero want to win the Stanley Cup again or what? Here's a guy whose team had won 12 in a row entering Tuesday's game against Montreal, probably well on its way to first overall in the Eastern Conference, and he makes two fairly big trades for Brenden Morrow and Douglas Murray. Some people think Shero overpaid, but I disagree. Morrow is a tremendous leader and Murray should do well in the more physical Eastern Conference. Morrow figures to play with Evgeni Malkin and former Dallas Stars teammate James Neal. Sidney Crosby approved of Morrow's addition, that's for sure. "Great acquisition, great leader," Crosby told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "He's going to be tough for other teams to handle." Shero deserves credit for going for it, for being big and bold. It's tough to see where the Penguins have a weakness now as the playoffs near. Last week: 3-0-0
Last Week: 2
Chicago Blackhawks (24-4-3)They lost at Anaheim, 4-2, last Wednesday in something of a Western showdown, but I still think Chicago is the better overall team. "We needed a rest," Hawks forward Jamal Mayers told the Chicago Tribune of the team's five off-days after the Ducks game. "The reality is we were playing a lot of hockey. We should be excited and ready to go." For a while on Monday night, the Hawks did look excited, but they got sloppy in the third period and blew a 5-4 game to the Kings in yet another test in the West. I'm not worried -- yet. Marian Hossa remains out with an upper-body injury, suspected to be to a shoulder, but coach Joel Quenneville said his skilled forward should be back soon. Last week: 0-2-0
Last Week: 4
Anaheim Ducks (22-6-4)They've finally cooled off (thanks no doubt to SI.com's Brian Cazeneuve, who lauded them last weekend ), losing two in a row at home to the Red Wings and then again on Monday night to San Jose. It was definitely a surprise seeing that second defeat by Detroit, 2-1 on Sunday, after the Ducks had been roasted by the Wings, 5-1, on Friday night to end their 13-game home winning streak. "This is a real though stretch we're going through against a lot of really good teams," coach Bruce Boudreau told the assembled masses of the media. "So we have to bring our A game every night or we won't be successful." Of note: rookie goalie Viktor Fasth was yanked from Friday's game after allowing four goals early in the second period. Most Ducks observers believe that Jonas Hiller will be the No. 1 guy from here on out. Last week: 1-3-0
Last Week: 8
Minnesota Wild (19-10-2)Ryan Suter for the Norris Trophy. Guess he was worth all that money ($98 million) after all, as the defenseman has been brilliant (points in 11 of his last 14 games) for a month or more. He and rookie Jonas Brodin are the league's best defensive pair right now, period, and the Wild really look great. Yeah, there is still the question of their overall depth on defense. Suter and Brodin are playing nearly half the game on most nights, but Devin Setoguchi (goals in four of his last six games entering Monday) has picked it up. Kyle Brodziak got Minny's first short-handed goal of the season on Monday night in Dallas, breaking a 4-4 tie en route to a 7-4 win. Note to NHL media who are unfamiliar with playoff travel to Minnesota: Whatever you do, grab a bowl of the wild rice soup at the Hotel St. Paul. You WILL thank me...or else. Last week: 3-0-0
Last Week: 3
Montreal Canadiens (20-6-5)They suffered a rare home loss on Saturday, 2-1 to the Sabres of all teams, and now have the Penguins and Bruins coming up. So, we'll really see what Montreal is made of now. On Monday, the Habs picked up veteran forward Jeff Halpern, 36, who should help on face-offs (Montreal is 15th in the league) and penalty killing (19th) -- two areas of concern. To get a guy like Halpern, who has nearly 900 games of NHL experience, off the waiver wire was a good move by GM Marc Bergevin. A looming playoff berth has to make Michel Therrien a Jack Adams Award finalist if there is any justice in this world. Last week: 1-1-1
Last Week: 5
Boston Bruins (21-7-3)They pulled out a 3-2 shootout win on Monday night against Toronto to split a home-and-home as injuries start to take a toll. Valuable forward Chris Kelly (broken tibia) is gone indefinitely. Defenseman Adam McQuaid will be out 4-to-6 weeks with a shoulder ailment, and Boston will miss his physical presence, but he is expected back for the playoffs. Johnny Boychuk (foot) is also sidelined after getting hit with a shot by teammate Tyler Seguin at practice on Friday, but he shouldn't be out long. With the bodies piling up, GM Peter Chiarelli said he won't make any hasty trades. "I assumed [the injuries] were coming. We've definitely talked about that," he told Comcast Sports New England. "But we've also been fortunate. Chris [Kelly] isn't as bad as it could have been and we're fortunate that Adam [McQuaid] isn't as bad as it could have been. But the injuries don't make things any more urgent because everybody is dealing with them. Nothing has changed in that way." Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 11
Vancouver Canucks (17-9-6)A very good week for the Canucks, who went into L.A. on Saturday and shut out the Kings, then followed it up with a win the next night in Colorado despite being a tired team. Cory Schneider appears to have the No. 1 job in net firmly in hand again. I still think the Canucks should try to trade Roberto Luongo, but the window for this season probably has closed unless a team like Florida just wants to get it over with now and start blowing things up. I think a Luongo-for-Tomas Fleischmann trade would be great for both teams. Coach Alain Vigneault finally did the smart thing by moving Jason Garrison to the point on the No. 1 power play unit. His big slap shot will make defenders back off a lot. Just ask Paul Stastny; the Avs center will miss the next 10 days or so after taking a Garrison slapper to his left foot on Sunday night. Last week: 4-0-0
Last Week: 6
St. Louis Blues (17-12-2)Chris Stewart is a beast again. Occasionally flogged in the media (and by his coaches) for his commitment to all things excellent, Stewart got in great shape during the off-season and lockout and is playing hungry again. Could that hunger be for a fat new contract? Probably. But so what? Isn't that what players are supposed to do? We'll see what Stewart does after signing a likely big-money deal with the Blues this spring or summer, but for now, let the good times roll. Stewart has points in seven of his last 10 games, with 15 goals on the year. He had 15 in 79 games last season. Still, the Blues lost two of three last week. Other forwards besides Stewart need to score, starting with David Backes (no goals in 11 straight games). Last week: 1-2-0
Last Week: 7
Ottawa Senators (17-9-5)Walrus-mustachioed coach Paul MacLean and his team just keep finding ways to grind out wins. Witness its 3-2 shootout victory at home over New Jersey on Monday night. MacLean was unhappy that his Sens spent much of it bottled up in their own end, but goalie Ben Bishop made 32 saves and rookie center Mika Zibanejad netted the winner in the skills competition. "It's certainly not our prettiest win," defenseman Chris Phillips told reporters. "At the end of the day, at the end of the season that's a big two points for us. They're right on our heels in the standings." The playoffs seem assured now. Question is, will the return of Craig Anderson, Jason Spezza and, maybe, Erik Karlsson create a letdown effect? With a top-notch coach like MacLean at the helm, I doubt it. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 9
Los Angeles Kings (18-12-2)The defending Cup champs have been just OK lately, but all I really care about with these guys is if they make the playoffs, and it seems highly probable that they will. Who wants to play them in the early rounds? The Kings have been only slightly affected by the Cup Hangover, which I credit to the long lockout. They went into Chicago on Monday night and got a gutsy 5-4 win, which proved to me that they still care. That was the first tilt of a five-game road trip, which I think will be good for them at this point in the season. Players will tell you that a long roadie is a valuable bonding experience for the playoffs. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 10
Detroit Red Wings (17-11-5)A great week started with a two-game sweep of the Ducks in Anaheim's previously undented conclave, then came a sojourn into Phoenix for another win. Jimmy Howard is playing well in goal, so there is still the chance that I could be wrong about Detroit's Stanley Cup chances. But if the Wings can go into places like Anaheim and win twice against a hot squad, I will not dismiss this team. They are still the Red Wings. They may not be THE Wings of yore, but they remain a good, and dangerous, bunch. Last week: 3-1-0
Last Week: 12
Toronto Maple Leafs (17-12-4)Rumors surfaced on Monday night that the Leafs were sniffing the possibility of adding veteran Calgary Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff to the roster. I hope it happens, but I doubt it will. I've talked to a lot of general managers lately, and they ALL have said that trades will be harder to make this year at the deadline for two reasons: the short season will allow more teams to falsely believe that they still have a shot at the playoffs and the salary cap falling from $70.2 million to $64.3 next season will make it harder to find space for new acquisitions. Toronto is shaping up as a team that is good, but not good enough. It definitely needs another piece or two, but this is probably the wrong year to try to get them. Yet, adding Kipper's $5.8 million cap hit to the payroll would be affordable for GM Dave Nonis. That would bring Toronto to just under $51 million for next season's signed players, with Nazem Kadri being the toughest guy to re-sign. But he'll only be an RFA, so it's not a huge worry. Pull the trigger, Nonis. Last week: 2-0-2
Last Week: 19
New Jersey Devils (15-12-6)They dropped a tough one to the Senators in a shootout on Monday night, but with Martin Brodeur back in net and seemingly healthy after his back problems, the Devils should be in good enough shape to slip into the playoffs. It's been a very tough year for them in many ways -- Ilya Kovalchuk will be lost for two-to-four weeks due to a shoulder injury -- but they are still in the playoff picture and hanging tough. I wouldn't want to play them in a postseason series, especially when Kovalchuk is back in business. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 16
New York Rangers (15-13-3)It's very tough to gauge where this team is going, but it doesn't seem to be headed to another Eastern Conference Finals appearance. Marc Staal's absence due to an eye injury has hurt, Marian Gaborik is having a mediocre season and is rumored to be on the trade block, and Brad Richards (no goals in seven games) is back in a slump. Yet, the Blueshirts entered Tuesday in eighth place in the East. They are still a threat. I think GM Glen Sather will make a trade for a solid forward in the coming days, probably sacrificing a draft pick or two. David Jones of Colorado and Florida's Tomas Fleischmann are possibilities. Also, playmaking winger Mats Zucarello is on his way back from the KHL "He's a highly skilled player, familiar with the team and coaching staff," defenseman Ryan McDonagh told the New York Daily News. "He's played in the league and had some success, and he's a real positive guy in the locker room, too. Everybody gets along with him." Last week: 1-1-1
Last Week: 13
Carolina Hurricanes (15-13-2)Alexander Semin got himself a nice five-year, $35 million contract extension on Monday. I'm not sure that's a great signing for the long term because I do wonder whether he will ease off a bit now that he's gotten the big ticket. Sorry if that comes off to many as an "enigmatic Russian" putdown, but I just have a feeling that this contract might be a bad one for GM Jim Rutherford. But Semin has been a fine player to this point. He had 30 points (including eight goals) in his first 30 games. Average a point a game in this league these days, and you get paid. The 'Canes, however, have lost five in a row and they've scored all of one goal in four of those defeats. Eric Staal is in something of a slump lately: two tallies in his last 10 games. Maybe five-days rest will rejuvenate this team for the two key divisional meetings with Winnipeg that loom this week. Last week: 0-2-0
Last Week: 17
Columbus Blue Jackets (13-13-6)Columbus remains the NHL's biggest feel-good story of the second half even if a 5-2 loss at Nashville on Saturday night ended its 12-game point streak. The Jackets' four-game road trip continues in Vancouver against the hot Canucks, with the Oilers and Flames up next. That they are right there in the hunt for a playoff spot is great news for their long-suffering fans. Ten of those 12 games in the streak were decided by one goal. If these guys get into the postseason tournament, a much-improved goalie like Sergei Bobrovsky could make them a very dangerous opponent. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 21
San Jose Sharks (14-11-6)Nice win on Monday night in Anaheim, just when people like me were ready to bury these fish. Earlier in the day, they traded big, popular D-man Douglas Murray to the Penguins for two draft picks, and the deal could easily be seen as a white flag waved by GM Doug Wilson on his team's Stanley Cup chances. But the Sharks responded against a tough foe on the road like a squad that believes it's still in the running. Joe Pavelski broke an eight-game point drought with a goal in the win. If he can get it going, the Sharks still have a shot at making some noise. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 26
Washington Capitals (15-16-1)Let's give some kudos to first-year coach Adam Oates for getting his guys to stick with his system and make the playoffs a possibility. (Their math says they need 19 points in their last 16 tilts.) The Caps came into the week riding a three-game win streak and Alex Ovechkin has scored at least one goal in his last five matches, which should shut up his critics for a while anyway. Braden Holtby has really picked up his play of late in net lately, too, with wins in his last three starts. These guys probably aren't good enough to make a long run, but if they sneak into the playoffs, this season will be seen as a royal salvage job if not a rousing success. Last week: 3-1-0
Last Week: 25
Nashville Predators (14-13-6)Just when you're ready to count them out, they find a way to get back in the playoff race. A 3-2 home win over Edmonton on Monday night was Nashville's third straight overall. Martin Erat, after a talking-to by coach Barry Trotz, has started to get his act together, and Pekka Rinne has won three straight starts. He'll need to be in top form down the stretch if the Preds are to sneak into the playoffs. But with Trotz at the helm, that is possible. One problem though: Nashville's 33 games-played entering Tuesday were the most in the Western Conference. Last week: 3-1-0
Last Week: 14
Winnipeg Jets (17-14-2)I appreciate their winning record, but I just can't muster much excitement for this team's prospects. Winnipeg has the 26th-ranked power play in the league (14.3 percent), which will kill them in the end if it doesn't get a lot better. The penalty kill (74.3, 24th overall) isn't much good, either. Yet, the Jets entered Tuesday in first place in the Southeast Division. Which says it all about the Southeast Division. But if you don't have good special teams come playoff time? Fuhgeddaboudit. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 29
Dallas Stars (15-14-3)They had a chance to stay in the top eight on Monday night at home against Minnesota, but folded in the third period. A 4-4 game turned into a 7-4 loss, with goalie Kari Lehtonen looking awful in the clutch. Their trade of Brenden Morrow to Pittsburgh was something of a white flag by GM Joe Nieuwendyk. The standings show Dallas still has a shot at a playoff spot, but when you trade a leader like Morrow for a prospect and a fifth-round pick near the deadline, it's a sure sign that the GM doesn't believe enough in his team. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 18
Phoenix Coyotes (13-15-4)A loss at home to Detroit on Monday night was the Coyotes' sixth straight and eight in their last 10 games. That kind of schneid during a short season is deadly. They have too many holes on defense, and their offense hasn't recovered from the major hit it took when took when Ray Whitney departed for Dallas. Only a Shane Doan goal in L.A. last Tuesday prevented Phoenix from being shut out in four straight games and it's all these guys can do to squeeze out more than two goals per game. "I'm a big believer that you earn your breaks and you earn your confidence, and right now we're not doing those things," coach Dave Tippett lamented after the loss to Detroit. On the plus side, Radim Vrbata has returned from injury, but can't be expected to find his form in a hurry. Last week: 0-3-0
Last Week: 15
New York Islanders (14-15-3)I was really ready to believe in the yin of Charles Wang when the Isles had a 3-1 third-period lead in their March 19 game against Ottawa. Final score: 5-3, Senators, which made me want to chuck my yin and Wang in the nearest Nassau County trash receptacle. When will this team win a big game at HOME, where it is a pathetic 6-11-2? The loss to Ottawa, the beginning of a three-game slide halted by a fortuitous meeting with the woeful Panthers, was yet another reminder that these Isles will always leave me yanking big orange tufts of hair out of my skull any time they snooker me into thinking they've arrived as an actual playoff-caliber team. Last week: 1-3-0
Last Week: 29
Buffalo Sabres (13-15-4)It's all still very tempting to think that this team can win three or four in a row, sneak into the eighth playoff spot in the East, and see what Ryan Miller can do in a seven-game series. His 2-1 win in Montreal on Saturday was proof positive that the former USA Olympic gold-medal starter can still win a big game against a superior opponent. All these Sabres need is for Miller to get real hot down the stretch. He's more than capable of it, but you have to wonder just how much energy he has left by this point. He spent much of the lockout battling NHL lawyers, then much of the season trying to overcome his team's sub-par defense. Last week: 3-2-0
Last Week: 24
Philadelphia Flyers (13-16-2)They're not out of it yet, but missing the playoffs becomes more of a real possibility with each loss. Now Daniel Briere is out indefinitely with a concussion. Philly nearly snapped Pittsburgh's 11-game winning streak on Sunday night, but a late collapse ended with a 2-1 OT loss. If Philly goes golfing early, it would be the first time since 2006-07. GM Paul Holmgren might try to sell off a few pieces (Andrei Meszaros anyone?), but it looks pretty clear that the Flyers' season is in the balance as they open a five-game homestand this week with the Rangers, Islanders, Bruins, Capitals and Canadiens coming in. Last week: 0-0-1
Last Week: 23
Tampa Bay Lightning (13-18-1)With Guy Boucher out and Jon Cooper in, we'll start to see whether the Bolts' decline was really was the former coach's fault. I agree with my SI.com colleague Allan "The Ghost and Mr." Muir, who believes that Boucher got a raw deal from GM Steve Yzerman. Good luck to Cooper winning games with goaltending as presently constituted by Mr. Yzerman's dealings. Last week: 0-3-0
Last Week: 28
Calgary Flames (12-14-4)Rumors continue to swirl that Jarome Iginla's days as a Flame could be coming to an end. But the price, as reported, seems awfully high (a player and maybe two top prospects). I keep thinking he'd look awfully good in a Bruins uniform, but so far that oft-rumored deal hasn't happened. The Flames no doubt will make a deal or two as their season winds to another unsatisfying close. Last week: 1-2-0
Last Week: 22
Edmonton Oilers (11-13-7)After looking good again for a little while, the Oil fell back on old, losing ways and now the playoffs look out of reach again. I sure got these guys wrong, eh? They have all that talent, but rarely do they look like a real team. First-year coach Ralph Krueger has to take some of the blame for that. Last week: 0-2-1
Last Week: 27
Colorado Avalanche (11-16-4)What a miserable week for a team that has lost six of its last seven games. One big problem: slow starts. Colorado has allowed the first goal in 10 of its last 11 games and 22 of 31 overall. J.S. Giguere blasted the team's effort after a 5-2 loss at Dallas, calling it "unacceptable." And yet, coach Joe Sacco continues to hold down his job, much to the chagrin of many fans. Last week: 1-2-0
Last Week: 30
Florida Panthers (9-18-6)After beating the Hurricanes and Rangers on the road, they dropped two to the Devils and Isles (an ugly 5-0 loss). Injuries have hurt, for sure, but coach Kevin Dineen just couldn't keep this team together like he did during his first, fine year on the job. His Cats' 116 goals-against continue to lead the league by a wide margin and Alexei Kovalev quietly retired after 1,316 games -- not all of them with Florida, although it probably felt that way this season. These battered Panthers are so bad, he just couldn't put it off any longer. Last week: 2-2-0

From journal Park City, Utah in The Summer
by Susie Go Go

Our room was a one-bedroom efficiency unit, meaning it wasn't super spacious, but there was plenty of room to accommodate me and my husband. There was a king-size bed and a sleeper sofa. There was a kitchenette complete with mini-fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. In the kitchenette area, there is a small table and chair set.
As previously mentioned, convenience is key for the Marriott Mountainside. The Payday ski lift is right by the outdoor pool and hot tub area. It is so convenient to ski down the mountain, pop off your skis, walk into the property, and store your skis at the free on-site ski storage. There is a nice heated pool and hot tub area, which was a popular activity on most days. Service was very good. There was a friendly front desk staff. There was also a friendly gentleman at the concierge desk in the lobby that provided area information and restaurant suggestions.
There is a nice modern workout room adjacent to the ski storage area. The cozy and roomy owner's lounge is a good place to hang out and play pool, etc. Parking is inside a parking garage underneath the property, which means no scraping off ice or snow when ready to take a drive.

Summitwatch has big one and two-bedroom apartments. They are clean and well maintained with laundry facilities in the units. We loved being on Main Street. My wife does not ski anymore because of a torn ACL, so she shops!

For Instructors
Honestly, Hill work means work
06/17/2011 10:54 am
You might get real fit. This is the outcome of riding hills the right way. Even if you are an instructor, the reality of a climb is that it sucks real good if done right. Strength or not, hill work is all about generating power, learning (key word is learning) to handle load while sustaining an effort that is challenging. Lots of riders (and instructors) are confused about proper hill work. For those of you who know me, you know my specialty on the road is time trialing and climbing. I am not super light for a climber (145 lbs) but I know how to technique and gear my way to the top at a quick clip. Seated v. Standing. What's more efficient? WTF? Depends on the individuals conditioning level, experience, body weight, rpm efficiency and length of hill. I always hear instructors say that seated is more efficient than standing. Uh, not always true. Sometimes if you are a grinder, you may go lower rpm and stay seated more. If you are a little whispy rider with ability to handle 80rpm for a bit, then f'n stand up! You need to stand if it gets real steep (road equivalent of maybe 12%+). RPM. 60-80 is recommended but not always ideal. Again, rider specific and terrain specific. It also depends on the length of the hill and what you are trying to accomplish. Are you attacking, surging, jumping on the hill, sprinting to finish the hill, etc.? I have seen my highest power outputs at around 80 rpm. Lance goes 90 rpm. Our current State Champion grinds along at about 74 rpm. Its all about power and efficiency. You need to practice hills. If you teach, give your students the freedom to climb seated or standing sometimes. Observe, make coaching comments and help them understand the beauty of hill work. I've often said if you have little time to train, hills are the answer. You can't hide, you have to get up and work against gravity. The faster you go up, the better for your body and performance. Gotta go now...my mountain bike and I have a date with a climb.Share
