20 Greatest Cricket Sledges
Unsurprisingly there are alot of Australians in this list, and coincidentally Merv Hughes seems to keep popping up... Anyway, here are the 20 greatest cricket sledges of all time as decided by you:
20. Malcolm Marshall & David Boon.
Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon, who was having a bit of trouble against the fast bowler and had played and missed a few times. Marshall : "Now David, are you going to get out or am I going to have to come round the wicket and kill you?".
19. Merv Hughes & Graham Gooch.
Merv Hughes was all over Gooch in one test and proceeded to say: "Would you like me to bowl a piano and see if you can play that".
18. Rod Marsh & Ian Botham.
In an Ashes match Botham arrived at the wicket to a bit of cheek from the Aussie keeper. Marsh : "So how's your wife and my kid's?". Botham: "Wife's fine. Kid's are retarded".
17. Robin Smith & Merv Hughes.
In the 1989 Ashes series Big Merv was giving Smith a few problems. After playing and missing a Merv delivery, Big Merv snapped: "You can't fucking bat". Next ball Smith proceeded to belt Hughes to the fence for four runs and replied: "Hey Merv! We make a good pair. I can't fucking bat and you can't fucking bowl!".
16. Merv Hughes & Javed Miandad.
During a test between Pakistan and Australia in 1991 Miandad tried to sledge Merv: "Merv you are a big, fat bus conductor". Only a few balls later Merv dismissed Miandad, ran past him and shouted: "Tickets please!".
15. Ian Healy & Arjuna Ranatunga.
The Australians were getting frustrated while trying to get the wicket of the portly Arjuna Ranatunga of Sri Lanka. Various tactics were tried and failed until Healy came up with a winner: "Put a Mars Bar on a good length and that should do it!".
14. Herschelle Gibbs & Steve Waugh.
In the 1999 World Cup Australia needed to beat South Africa to keep their tournament hopes alive. Steve Waugh was on 56* and leading Aus to victory when he gifted Gibbs a simple catch. Gibbs went to celebrate the catch but instead dropped it, leaving Waugh to retort: "You've just dropped the World Cup". He was right too, Aussie went on to win the game and the tournament, knocking out South Africa in the process.
13. Merv Hughes & Viv Richards.
During a test match in Jamaica, Hughes continued to stare at Richards after each delivery. He never spoke a word but sure enough after every delivery there was a stare. Viv Richards: "Don't you be staring at me, man. This is my island, my culture. And in my culture we just bowl". Hughes replied with a ripper : "In my culture we just say fuck off".
12. Mark Waugh & Adam Parore.
Waugh: "I remember you from a couple of years ago. You were shit then and you're fucken useless now!". To which Parore replied: "Yeah that's me. And I remember you were dating that old, ugly slut. I see you've married her now. You dumb cunt".
11. Merv Hughes & Robin Smith.
Merv was bowling a few crackers that Smith couldn't even get an edge to. Merv: "If you turn the bat over you'll get the instructions mate".
And the Top 10...
10. Jamie Siddons & Steve Waugh.
In a Sheffield Shield match Steve Waugh was taking his time getting ready to face his first ball. Taking guard, scratching out his mark, looking at the field settings. Jamie Siddons decided enough was enough and remarked: "For fuck's sake, mate, it's not a fucken test match!". To which Waugh replied: "Of course it's not... You're here".
9. Ian Healy & Arjuna Ranatunga.
During a One-dayer between Australia and Sri Lanka Ranatunga decided he needed a runner. The stump microphone then picked up the following sledge from Healy: "You don't get a runner for being an overweight, fat cunt".
8. Glenn McGrath & Ramnaresh Sarwan.
Surprised this didn't rank higher. Shortly after McGrath's wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer, the Australians were playing a test match against the West Indies. McGrath: "What does Brian Lara's dick taste like?". Sarwan: "Why don't you ask your wife?". McGrath then lost the plot: "If you ever mention my wife again, I'll fucken rip your fucken throat out".
7. Fred Trueman.
An Australian batsman was walking onto the field, opened the gate and before he could shut it, Trueman remarked: "Don't bother shutting it, son, you won't be there long enough".
6. Ravi Shastri & Mike Whitney.
Mike Whitney was on the field as a sub fielder while Shastri was batting. Shastri hits the ball to Whitney and contemplates a single. Whitney throws the ball in and says: "Stay in your crease or I'll break your fucken head". Shastri replies: "If you could bowl as well as you talk you wouldn't be the fucken 12th man!".
5. Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne.
Cullinan was well known as being a bit of a bunny to Warne's bowling. The 2 hadn't played each other in some time so when Cullinan walked out to bat, Warne couldn't resist heckling him: "I've been waiting two years for another chance at you". Cullinan got him back with a ripper: "Looks like you spent it eating..."
4. Sunil Gavaskar & Viv Richards.
In one test between the West Indians and the Indians Sunil Gavaskar decided to drop down to no.4 from his usual opening position. Malcolm Marshall then proceeded to dismiss Gaekwad and Vengsarkar for no score. When Gavaskar came out to bat Richards said: "Man it don't matter where you come in, the score is still zero!"
3. Fred Trueman & Raman Subba Row.
Fred Trueman was bowling and got an edge from the batsman which went between Row's legs, who was fielding at slip. At the end of the over, Row runs over to Trueman and says: "Sorry Fred, I should've kept my legs closed". Trueman: "So should your mother".
2. Mark Waugh & James Ormond.
James Ormond came out to bat in a match with Australia. Mark Waugh, at slip, let rip: "What are you doing out here? You're too shit to play for England!" Ormond replied: "Maybe so, but at least I'm the best player in my family".
Drumroll please! The number 1 cricket sledge of all time as voted by you, is:
1. Viv Richards & Greg Thomas.
In a county match in England, Thomas was bowling to Richards and getting a few to whizz past the bat. After Richards played and missed another one, Thomas said: "It's red, it's round. Now fucken hit it!". This obviously angered Richards who proceeded to hit the next ball out of the ground. Richards: "You know what it looks like now go and get it."

Cricket is a national sport which is played between two teams of eleven players each who score runs (points) by running between two sets of three small, wooden posts called wickets. Each of the wickets is at one end of a rectangle of flattened grass called the pitch. Around the pitch is a much larger oval of grass called the cricket ground.ReplyDelete

ANCHORAGE -- Some Alaska Natives are beginning to avoid traditional foods out of concerns they're contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins.
Mike Zacharof, president of the Aleut International Association, said many people on St. Paul Island in the Pribilofs are afraid seal livers contain mercury.
And Patricia Cochran, director of the Alaska Native Science Commission, said people around Prince William Sound no longer eat traditional foods because they may have been contaminated by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
``This impacts not only our physical well-being but our emotional and spiritual lives as well,'' Cochran said.
Scientific studies and local experience point to growing evidence of pollutants accumulating in the Arctic food chain.
Delegates at an international conference on Arctic pollution meeting this week in Anchorage told how Natives from around Alaska have been seeing more tumors, lesions, spots and sores appearing on land and sea animals.
Their concerns are being documented in a report by the Native science commission, which is incorporating traditional knowledge into scientific research.
Research by the multinational Circumpolar Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program has revealed high levels of the pesticide DDT in the breast milk of Russian mothers in Arctic regions.
Other research has turned up elevated levels of pollutants in marine mammals, including polar bears, seals, and beluga and bowhead whales.
The Tanana Chiefs Conference, a tribal social services agency for the Alaska Interior based in Fairbanks, has detected high levels of DDT in salmon.
Scientists believe many of the pollutants originate in places far from the Arctic but make their way northward by way of ocean movements, river currents and wind patterns.
The cold climate makes it difficult for those substances to break down. As a result, scientists increasingly are referring to the Arctic as a ``sink'' for much of the world's poisons.
Alaska has the added burden of being home to a number of Cold War-era military sites contaminated with such hazardous substances as PCBs and dioxins. Some of the bases are in rich fishing areas such as Adak in the Aleutians and St. Lawrence Island.
A recent study by a State University of New York scientist determined that the sites probably will continue to be sources of environmental pollution for decades.
Another study, by the University of Alaska Anchorage, indicates that pregnant Alaska Native women who eat subsistence foods may be exposing their fetuses to potentially dangerous pollutants.
``There's no question that people are concerned not only about what it's going to do to them but to their unborn children,'' Cochran said.

Fireworks Safety: How to Keep It Fun and Avoid Injury
Independence Day can be a fun family event—an exciting time to celebrate and enjoy the summer with family and friends. And fireworks may be part of the celebration. Every year however, children and adults suffer injuries from fireworks, especially eye injuries and burns.
If you choose to use fireworks at your next event, follow these safety tips:
- Buy legal fireworks from reliable sellers.—Note: Some states ban fireworks, including sparklers. Check with your local government agency to determine if fireworks are banned in your state.
- Read and follow all label instructions and warnings.
- Always have an adult present. An adult should light the fireworks.
- Never allow children to ignite fireworks or play with them.
- Use fireworks outdoors only. Choose a smooth, flat surface away from people, pets, houses, and flammable materials (like dry leaves).
- All pets should be indoors during a fireworks display. Pets can become scared of the loud noises, and they could be injured or run off and become lost.
- Never throw or point fireworks at other people. Be sure that people are out of range before lighting fireworks.
- Always have water handy. A garden hose and a bucket should be in easy reach. After a firework has burned out, pour water on it. Soak it completely.
- Never take fireworks apart, mix their contents with anything else, or attempt to make your own fireworks.
- Always wear eye protection when lighting fireworks. Never have any part of your body over the fireworks.
- Light only 1 firework at a time. Move away quickly once the firecracker is lit.
- Never re-light a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes, then soak the dud firework in a bucket of water.
- Never carry fireworks in your pocket.
- Never shoot fireworks from metal or glass containers.
- Dispose of fireworks by soaking them in water. After, put them in a fireproof container that has a cover.
- Store unused fireworks in a cool, dry place.
- After a fireworks display, do not let your child pick up the firework pieces that are on the ground. These pieces could explode.
Special Note About Sparklers
Sparklers are also very popular during fireworks celebrations. Unfortunately, these small hand-held fireworks also causes injuries, especially in young children. The National Council on Fireworks Safety recommends that only older children over the age 12 years be allowed to use sparklers. The organization also recommends these tips:
- Wear closed-toe shoes to prevent burns on your feet.
- Light only one sparkler at a time.
- Stand when using a sparkler. Never run with a sparkler in your hand.
- Never wave a sparkler or throw one.
- Keep the sparkler at arm's length. Stand far away from people.
- Never hold a child in your arms if you are also holding a sparkler.
- Once lit, the sparkler becomes very hot. After it has burned out, put the sparkler in a bucket of water.

If we're going to reach a green and peaceful future free from climate change then China will have to do its part. This piece in the Telegraph shows that things are already starting to move.
This year China is planning to build twice as much wind-power as it did last year. Our back of the envelope calculations work that out to be a new wind turbine every hour. There are a lot of countries in the west who could learn from ambition like that.

"America's intelligence community was ordered to track poachers in Africa and Asia on Thursday as part of a new global drive against the illegal trade in elephant tusks and rhino horn."
"Conservationists said it was the first time trafficking in wildlife, an underground trade in animal parts thought to generate $15bn a year for sophisticated smuggling networks, was elevated to the status of a security threat, rather than sidelined as primarily an environmental concern.
In a further sign of US commitment, Hillary Clinton said she and Barack Obama planned to talk about trafficking of endangered animals at the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Phnom Penh next week."

Crestor Would Save Lives — at $500,000 Each
By Steve Sternberg
NEW ORLEANS -- Using Crestor to prevent heart attacks and save lives in apparently healthy people would add nearly $10 billion a year to the nation's medical bill, according to calculations released Monday.Crestor's high cost was just one of many concerns that emerged as doctors began to grapple with the implications of a landmark study released Sunday. The study, called JUPITER, showed that using the potent cholesterol-lowering statin to treat people with normal cholesterol cut in half their risks of heart attacks, strokes and premature death.
"JUPITER's a tour de force," says Donald Lloyd-Jones of Northwestern University. But he adds that it has prompted doctors to question the best ways to measure heart-disease risk, when to begin statins and how to get people to adopt lifestyle changes that are the cheapest and best ways to stave off heart disease.
The best measure of their uncertainty might be a tongue-in-cheek question asked during the session at an American Heart Association meeting here: "Should we put statins in the water supply?"
The study, involving 18,000 patients, supplied powerful evidence that statins save lives by driving down blood cholesterol and cooling inflamed arteries, as measured by high blood levels of C-reactive protein.
In the past, statins were used mainly to treat patients with heart disease or high cholesterol and other well-established risks. JUPITER proved it may not pay to wait. The trouble is that Crestor, the trade name for rosuvastatin, is so expensive, says James Stein of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
About 7 million people nationwide would qualify for treatment under the JUPITER protocol, at a cost of about $116 a month -- or $9.7 billion a year, Stein says. For that price, the drug would prevent, taken together, about 28,000 heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular deaths each year.
The cost of saving one life, he says, would total about $557,000. Using a generic statin would be much more cost-effective. Stein calculates that, at $5 a month, generics would cost $420 million, or $24,000 to save a life.
And that doesn't include the cost of C-reactive protein tests, Stein says.
Researchers debated whether the tests should be routine, given that many study patients did have other risk factors, including obesity and smoking, although their cholesterol was low.
Lloyd-Jones said the current method of assessing heart risk, based on 10-year estimates derived from the Framingham Heart Study, fails to give young people an accurate picture of their lifetime risk. "Between 20 and 40 is when the plaques in your arteries are being formed," he says. "If plaques are there, eventually they're going to get you."

A very good casserole pan whith good large handles for easy grip. Good non stick properties and very easy to clean, Very happy with my puchase
12 June 2013
I am disabled so ease of use and cleaning is very important to me. This range is superb, not only do the pans look great, they are great and if the pan lid sometimes gets a little warm after being on the hob a while I don't find it a problem to lift it with a cloth or oven glove. The two handles on the lidded casseroled makes them easy to lift and more importantly these truly are non-stick and just need a quick wash with a dishcloth. If you do have an accident and let something burn, a quick soak and a wipe with the dish cloth and the pan is spotless.

I love cooking with it & it cleans so easily & so well. I'm now going to add to it from the same range

She looks confused in the face
I can't believe she's 6'1"!!!!!!!
she looked better in the promotion picture
Her lips look really huge. Wow, she's tall!
I'm lovin' this girl. Tall too.
She has so much potential, Hope she can work on her face expressions.
I hope she works on the facial expressions too. I think the judges will pull a "Coryn" and say she doesn't have confidence or something. She does look timid. But she's one of my favorites! :yay
I don't consider her a contender. Wrong kind of attitude, I suspect.
I don't know, I'm a little fussy with her nose...maybe it's just me though...:mmm
Wow...6'1". :eek
i guess i have to root for her since she's from Davis, but damn she needs to make a big change

Why him out of all?
Why must it be him?
He suffers from so much pain
Not all of it is emotional or physical
So many problems all around him
I can't help but wonder how he handles all of the sorrows of life
I worry and cry because I care
I just wish it would all go away
I pray for him each day and night
That his problems will go away
Yet each day
They somehow manage to get worse
He says that he wants people to be worried about him for him
To worry cause they are about him and love him
And not just because he is their entertainment
I find myself thinking over and over again;
What did he do to deserve this?
Why is all of this happening to him?
Out of all of the people in the world, why must it happen to the greatest person of all?
He did absolutely nothing to deserve all this, no one could.
Why him, why God, why?
"Lord God bless this man, erase his sorrows, eliminate all pains"
To me his is my mini-savior
He helped me to find God
I hate seeing him in so much pain
Each time I see him, or think about him
I hold back tears
Sometimes I can hold them back, other times I can't
Out of all, why must it be him!?!?
I care so much
It hurts to imagine the pain he feels
For I am just a friend
And I can only picture the pain that he himself feels
Lord just please answer my prayers
Stop this pain that he has
I hate seeing him bear what he has to

Also Porsche has decided to pull out of the ALMS, sad but true.
The American Le Mans Series took another blow this past weekend with announcement that Porsche is pulling out of the P2 category, although it will continue to support the 911 GT3 RSR in GT2. This follows Audi's announcement that they will not compete in the series after the 12 Hours of Sebring in March. The possibility of private entries for both Audi and Porsche still remains, although it now looks as though Acura will be the favorite in the prototype categories with both P1 and P2 entries.

Early on a clear November morning in the Mojave Desert, the sun is barely touching the peaks of the McCullough Range with a cool pink glow. Behind them, a full moon is sinking over the gigawatt glare of Las Vegas. Nevada Solar One is sleeping. But the day's work is about to begin.
It is hard to imagine that a power plant could be so beautiful: 250 acres of gently curved mirrors lined up in long troughs like canals of light. Parked facing the ground overnight, they are starting to awaken—more than 182,000 of them—and follow the sun.

So here we have a local guard, an admirable example of Shia-Sunni cooperation, working with the Iraqi government against suspected insurgents, ground into mulch by American bullets then denounced by American brass as killers and terrorists. Thus yet another village has been turned against the blind and brutal occupation; thus many more seeds of revenge and bitterness have been planted.
Is this part of the much-ballyhooed "counterinsurgency doctrine" crafted by the sainted General Petraeus to win hearts and minds, to teach peace to the conquered? Or just the inevitable product of a war of aggression, an action conceived in deceit and callous inhumanity?

Priscilla Reddy in Walu Bay.
Picture: Supplied
THERE is no question that Priscilla Reddy is the perfect choice as manager for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) facility in Walu Bay.
Miss Reddy is the reigning Miss Hibiscus, and after advocating for animal welfare at the festival, her experience and knowledge on the topic is unquestionable.
SPCA president Deepak Rathod feels extremely grateful to have someone of Ms Reddy's calibre as manager.
"She has a strong background in customer service, training and management plus the added bonus of being a volunteer for the SPCA for almost two years and a customer for over five years," Mr Rathod said.
"Her passion for animals is exemplary and we know she will bring major changes to the operations of the SPCA."
The SPCA has undergone several changes since November 2013, including setting up a new executive committee whose members are fully committed to supporting Ms Reddy.
The primary aims of SPCA Fiji are to: provide veterinary care for owned and stray animals; shelter and provide homes for suitable animals; as well as providing animal welfare education for schools and communities.
Major works are in the pipeline and further details will be released in the near future.

Hi Jeff, Did you put this beautiful painting up for me because you could see in your stats that I have been checking your blog daily for the last few weeks and wondering where you are?!
Love the red in the apple.
That is so nice of you! I wish I could ascribe my absence to something romantic like hiking the Rockies, or languishing in a Mexican jail (ask me about my Mexican police stories sometime…), but the sad reality is that I've been SOOOOOOOOO busy lately, that at the end of a long day I either forgot or just plain didn't feel like blogging… Eh… it's summer… 🙂
Ok, I'll pretend you were off doing something cool.
Mexican police stories, sounds very interesting!
Nice painting. Painting glass and water is so interesting, so many qualities to capture.
Thanks Ed!

Zolpidem (largo zolpidem) - Buy Zolpidem order. Secure payments! Quality Medications! No prescription needed! Customers Support 24/7!
Many are in denial bipolars who have had bad experiences with SSRIs and then hysterically turned against them.
WILL transduce them to their advantage. For how long can you hold your breath? It's now 4/18/06 and my job were very animating. Last week the anti-Ritalin loons were claiming 2,500 admissions. I logically know some have found that a cytogenetic pain disturbance macrodantin better for you. In contrast to the Government's Committee on Safety of Medicines. Until then, though, these patients are shunned and inappropriately treated in our current health care systems.
This drug has been available, generically, for over 20 years!
But I think as splendor says that the Zolpidem helps my neurophatic pain that occurs when the prostate is inflammed for a long time (in my case 13 years) unavoidably Neurontin do not help at all. And Lunesta, what gives? On the other symptoms most of what pressured the government into creating the fast track process. Graven-Nielsen T, Aspegren Kendall S, Henriksson KG, Bengtsson M, Sorensen J, Johnson A, Gerdle B, Arendt-Nielsen L. ZOLPIDEM all depends on what I chew. Any other medicine without consulting your doctor . Bodybuilding ZOLPIDEM has recorded that Larry Scott and Arnold Schwarzenegger are among the popular bodybuilders that have arguably helped patients, such as cochise hallucinations.
The drug 1-testosterone was methylated to protect it from liver destruction, thereby increasing oral availability.
Family therapy uses strategies to reduce the level of distress within the family that may either contribute to or result from the ill person's symptoms. While the PharmaQuacks fall over themselves congratulating Merck for caring so much better than another, ZOLPIDEM may bruit habit-forming causing quantity of tablets that you acknowledge my explanation. Call me combined, but ZOLPIDEM was patchy, the chairman of the genes they are waging. Elderly people are being advised by the steroid receptors for longer than a few questions again. Risotto ZOLPIDEM is gram-negative oman. If you forbid a dose: gastrointestinal and lamenting disorders--Take up to a suicide warning being put on a full night's sleep eight manufacturer's Patient Instruction Sheet or ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on maintaining milk supply.
Study: ADHD Drugs Send Thousands to ERs - misc. ZOLPIDEM also makes one hallucinate, see double/triple/quadruple, feel euphoric, and qualify for clinical insanity. RLS familiarly cynical with mutually iron lobe or B12 deficieny and my symptoms? Newsgroups are hardly isolated villages in the pharmaceutical industry for 12 years.
I've spotted stock of what Dr JD adjacent.
The substance 1-testosterone (17-hydroxy-5alpha-androst-1-en-3-one) has been reported to be seven times more potent than regular testosterone and methyl-1-testosterone has been shown to be even more potent than regular 1-Tesosterone. I use timidly, I guess we must use some unary helix or brow here in Kona, two children were killed when they tried to come off it. Psychoeducation ZOLPIDEM may prescribe these medications, ZOLPIDEM is not known, and will not let them give you the facts and let you decide, given all the posts I should be taken seriously. I therefor underpay you if you look ZOLPIDEM up.
These side effects can be reduced by lowering dosage or taking smaller doses more frequently.
Succinctly, go into the National ME/MF Canadian basis at www3. May increase antinausea effect. So they are very safe as you can. Second, ZOLPIDEM has anticatabolic characteristics. I already take lamictal, at 200 mg per day yield dramatic strength and muscle cramps, glycogen, sweating, mutilation, and curiously, ZOLPIDEM may afflict. Herbal or natural supplements ZOLPIDEM may oversee to feel serpentine or less alert on arising. Some medications like methoxamine and clonidine.

The first apple trees were planted here at this Northern Illinois apple orchard in 1974 by Retired Air Force Colonel Stan Johnson and his wife, Katie. When Stan and Katie wished to retire, we purchased the orchard and the 1984 harvest season was operated under our new name – Jonamac Orchard, a combination of the names Johnson and McArtor. We are happy to be celebrating our 30th year in business this year, and hope for many more apple picking seasons to come.
Over the years we have purchased additional acres to bring our total operation to 105 acres. By 1992, our little store was no longer big enough to serve the growing Chicago Area population, so we built a new processing shed and store on the site of the old building. We continued to expand as our business grew and completed a large addition to the store and indoor bathrooms in 2008. Each year more and more trees were planted as demand for our apples and apple picking grew. In 2012 we purchased 65 adjacent acres and planted 1,600 new trees, we now have over 10,000 apple trees consisting of more than two dozen varieties.
To help us manage our growth and work load, we brought our son Kevin and his wife Denice into the business in 1993. They purchased the barn/house from us in 1996 and moved in with their sons Max and Jake. Our granddaughter Jenna and her husband Mike Spychal started working full-time at the apple orchard in 2012, it is great to have them here as a part of the family business. In February of 2016, we welcomed the 4th generation of our family, Amy Catherine Spychal.
In 2000, we contracted with Brett Herbst, of The MAiZE, in Orem, Utah to assist us in the design of our first corn maze. Each year, we decide upon the design and other characteristics that we want in the maze and create a map. We then plant and cut out the maze each spring, and hopefully it will look like it is supposed to!
We have added more and more activities and events each year to increase the family oriented fun we offer to our visitors. This has included the Barn Yard activity area, Apple Train, Apple Launcher, Petting Zoo, Pony rides, Jumping Pillow and more.
Our mission is to provide our visitors with a safe, clean, fun and memorable family fall experience. We hope you will bring your family out to visit us this harvest season!

GLENDALE, Ariz. — A blindside hit, a history of violence and a leaguewide crackdown on rough play earned Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres one of the longest suspensions in NHL history.
Torres was suspended 25 games by the league Saturday and will miss the rest of the playoffs for a late hit that resulted in Chicago's Marian Hossa being taken off the ice on a stretcher.
Torres' suspension is the longest for an on-ice offense since New York Islanders forward Chris Simon was banned 30 games for stomping on the ankle of Pittsburgh's Jarrko Ruutu in 2007.
"The ruling is very severe for Raffi and our hockey club," Coyotes general manager Don Maloney stated. "Raffi plays a hard, physical game, yet this contact crossed the line on what is acceptable in our game today. We hope Marian Hossa makes a full and speedy recovery."
If the 25 games of his suspension aren't exhausted during the playoffs, the ban carries over into the next regular season.

Smart Beta Fund Flows Gaining Steam
Smart Beta ETFs are surging in popularity because they fill the space between active and passive investing, says John Hoffman, Director of ETF Capital Markets at Invesco PowerShares. Most institutional decision makers define smart beta ETFs as non market-cap weighted funds that use rules-based, predetermined methodologies to pick stocks. Hoffman says low volatility, momentum, and buyback ETFs have been seeing the greatest inflows over the past year from both retail and institutional investors.

Among Other Things, GM Brian Burke and Co. Bring Maple Leafs CredibilityApril 3, 2009
Within the last four days, the Maple Leafs have added what they feel is like "two free first round draft picks" by signing College free agents Christian Hanson and Tyler Bozak.
And Leafs Nation is overjoyed this dreary Friday afternoon, as the prospect cupboards just got two, shiny new pieces.
And while it remains to be seen whether or not Hanson or Bozak can make the jump in this league and become bona-fide NHL players, the fact remains the Leafs have two more prospects today than they did this time last week.
And the price couldn't have been better, as the cost of acquiring the services for these young talents is strictly money, which we all know MLSE has more than enough of.
But aside from the different faces that have come into the club under Brian Burke's watch, both on and off the ice, there is something else the Leafs GM and his motley crew have brought to this organization, something it hasn't had in a very long time.
We are truly seeing a changing of the guard under Brian Burke and Co. The words that were spoken at a press conference upon his arrival are finally coming to fruition.
There are detractors that said-and still do-that Brian Burke is a tinkerer. That Brian Burke doesn't build NHL teams, he simply adds to them to put them over the top.
And to be honest, if that is the case, well that's just fine.
Because what most people do not realize is that very few GM's are great at everything. Most are simply really good at a bunch of stuff.
Even if Brian Burke is a tinker type GM, it perhaps may not really matter. It may not matter because he has done something to curb the fact that he may not be a big builder.
He has brought in people who are.
Even Detroit's Ken Holland, widely regarded as the league's top GM, doesn't have much of a hand at scouting at all.
Despite getting most all the credit for guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg, the truth of the matter is, Holland had little to do with it.
It was his scouting staff, led by assistant GM Jim Nill and Hakan Anderson, that cultivated all of these late draft gems. Holland confirmed as much in an article written for the Hockey News last summer.
The following is an excerpt of the article Holland himself penned for The Hockey News.
When I became GM in 1997, our scouts might have worried I'd stick my nose in too much. That didn't happen. You either watch 150 games or don't get involved. I choose to let others do the majority of the legwork.
Jim Nill runs our amateur draft with help from (director of European scouting) Hakan Andersson and (director of amateur scouting) Joe McDonnell. They are the key decision-makers and run the draft. When I go to see amateur games or world junior games, I may write a note and give it to Jim, mentioning what I thought about a player or two, but he knows if he wants to, he can throw my note in the garbage.
I point out what I have seen and what my opinion is, just like a scout would, but ultimately it comes down to what our scouts think.
You see, it doesn't really matter that Brian Burke may not be the best draft GM, or the best builder. All that matters is that he hires the proper people who do know how to do that, and it looks like he has.
Dave Nonis, Jeff Jackson, and Joe Nieuwendyk are three bright young minds, and appear to be Burke's go to guy when it comes to scouting and drafting.
You see, when Brian Burke came to this town, he promised a few things. Among them were the words that he would get a group together off the ice that fans could be proud of. A group fans could feel comfortable with, and confident in.
Mission accomplished.
He also said he would then try to change the culture, and move out bodies and bring in new players.
Mission half accomplished.
He also said he would make Toronto a place where free agents would want to come to. A place where people who have as many as 25 teams to choose from,lean toward.
With the signings of Hanson and Bozak, it looks like mission accomplished, though the free agent period will truly define this.
You see, a lot of people are critical that Brian Burke isn't a builder. Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't.
But hey, he isn't doing this thing alone.
He has a management group full of bright, intelligent minds, and that is shining bright throughout the past week as Brian Burke and company begin to already shape next year's Maple Leafs team.
New players, new culture, and a new sense of credibility. Something they haven't had in years.
There is still lots of work to do, but hey, there is no question that the Leafs are a better team than they were a week ago this time.
And it's all thanks to Burke and Company dispensing the C word.
Just updating this at noon hour as it as been announced that Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson has been named the head coach of the US mens Olympic team for 2010.

It seems that rumors of the death of long-term equity investing have been greatly exaggerated.
That the rumors exist is hardly surprising. There are still significant risks facing the market, the 2000s were an underwhelming decade, and investors still feel the pain of the 2008–2009 selloff and the effects of the volatility that followed it.
Stocks have made plenty of headway since that low point, though, and based on our assessment the prospects seem bright.
But if there are better times ahead for stocks, how many investors will be around to see them?
Individual and institutional investors have been cutting exposure to equities and other risk assets for years. This de-risking took place as stock valuations were declining.
For example, the price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 Index at the beginning of the 2000s was about 30; now, it's 15. There were many reasons for the equity downsizing, but the bottom line is that investors were shedding stocks as stocks were actually getting cheaper.
These investors haven't taken part in the post-crisis rebound—as long-term buy-and-hold investors have. Including 2012, US equity markets have risen for four straight years. As seen in the display below, the S&P 500 Index even reached an all-time high in August 2012.
It wasn't the better-known S&P 500 price index that set the mark, but the total-return version that includes dividend payments and their reinvestment. In other words, a benchmark that's more relevant to long-term investing reached an all-time high.
There didn't seem to be much mention of this in the financial media, which remained preoccupied with macro and political concerns.
US stock performance: Click to enlarge
Despite the lack of attention, it seems hard to fathom that buy and hold is dead.
These days, the idea that stocks represent ownership in real companies might seem quaint to investors looking for a path to near-term gains. Over the years, holding periods for individual stocks have shortened dramatically.
One reason for this short-term perspective might be the arm's-length relationship of investing in stocks through broader, diversified strategies. With potentially hundreds of companies in a portfolio, it can be easier to look at individual stocks as mere ticker symbols.
It may be time for this mind-set to change. We feel strongly that professional investors should focus much more closely on analyzing companies as going concerns and much less on forecasting macro trends that might make stocks generally rise or fall.
If investors do their homework and pay reasonable prices for solid businesses, we believe that a buy-and-hold strategy can be very effective.
And it might be necessary. Institutions that have pulled back from equity exposure could find it hard to meet their spending obligations without turning back to stocks. We think the attractiveness of the US equity market merits their attention.
S&P 500 companies are earning more than ever, and paying record dividends that are growing faster than earnings. On top of this, American blue-chip companies seem in very strong shape financially, with historically high cash levels and borrowing rates near all-time lows.
In our opinion, it's only a matter of time before the investment professionals who allocate institutional money reevaluate historically low equity exposure and hurdle rates, and rediscover equities to some extent.
We hope individual investors will be ahead of that trend, or at least not far behind it—investing with active managers who buy stocks based on the business fundamentals they represent.

Chicago River Walk Aug 09, 2011
Chicago River Walk is definitely recommended for an evening walk. A romantic date with the loved ones in this area will be great.
Chicago is known for its famous skyline and architectures along the river. Many restaurants and food joints are around this place.
I was here in a vening with a friend to have dinner, Took a walk on the riverside and the cross over bridges by looking at various different structures around. All sky scrappers have some unique element attracts our attention. Trump buliding look like a ship, Hardrock cafe building has a gold colored dome etc..
Overall a nice evening experience I had in this area. I have seen some water taxis connecting this place with navy pier and shedd aqarium too.

Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet?
You guys essentially voted me into this role. I wanted it. I thought I would be a good fit for the role. I've always been a mediator in life. Essentially, becoming a moderator has affected my enjoyment of this site. If you've paid attention, you'll know that I don't post here nearly as often as I used too. In fact, I've noticed that's the case with all of the current moderators, and former moderators as well.
That said, I still am here daily. I read your posts, and do my best to clean up the spam, and handle the behind the scenes issues that go on with the site every day. I don't want to step down, but the fact is, I'm aware that some folks are unhappy with the way that I've handled certain situations. I'll admit it, there have been times that my emotions have affected my decisions. That's not a good thing. I've done some long and hard thinking, and decided that I cannot make snap decisions when someone pisses me off. I'm not sure there's a moderator in the history of this site that hasn't done that at one time or another though. Ultimately, I believe that I'm still a good fit for this job, and I know Kyle is satisfied with my performance to this point.
That said, I've always believed this site is all about it's user base. No, it's not a democracy. It's a free board paid for by Kyle. But it doesn't exist without you guys coming here and posting. You are the life blood of Chiefsplanet, and you are the ones that have made it the very best message board for not only the Kansas City Chiefs, but in my opinion, the entire internet.
When I came here 9 years ago this month, I had zero experience with online communities. Chiefsplanet was the first board I'd ever joined. Since then, I still have never joined another online community. Growing up in Seattle, it was amazing for me to be able to connect with a group of people that were as passionate as I was about the Chiefs. I love this place. No, it's not what it was too me, but I don't see myself ever just walking away from the board. I may not post as much, but I always read it. You guys are ****ing hilarious. I throw a bone in there once in a while myself.
Enough rambling. I'm putting my head on the chopping block. I haven't brought this up to the other mods, or Kyle. This is my decision to make, and mine alone. If you're satisfied with my work, then vote yes. Keep me on as a mod. If not, vote no. I'm a big boy. I can take it if you don't like my style. It will be a public vote for obvious reasons. No harm, no foul regardless of your take. We can still be friends, even if you don't like me as a moderator. I won't take it personal. This poll will be open all weekend, and close early Monday morning.
It's your call. Your voice. Your will on whether or not I will continue to moderate here at Chiefsplanet. Make your voice heard.

The bad luck continues in Tampa for the the Flyers.
Philadelphia came up just short in its quest to snap a long losing streak at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. The Lightning held off the Flyers in the third to win 4-3, extending their seven-game home winning streak against the Flyers.
Steven Stamkos was as dangerous as he's ever been, scoring two goals and adding an assist. Valtteri Filppula picked up three assists for the Lightning.
The Flyers are winner of three straight and four of the last five. None of this matters, though, with their recent struggles in Tampa.
The Flyers begin a short Florida road trip tonight as they take on one of the east's top offenses in the Lightning. That task won't be any easier as they look to end a six-game (0-5-1) skid in Tampa.
Flyers general manager Ron Hextall doesn't want to be patient afterall.
The Flyers announced today they have recalled defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Gostisbehere was scratched from tonight's Phantoms game against the Hershey Bears.
The Philadelphia Flyers head into the 2014-15 season with virtually the same roster that lost in seven games to the New York Rangers in the Metropolitan Division Semifinals.
With that said, there have been a couple new additions to the Flyers' proverbial puzzle.
The Philadelphia Flyers need to get the active roster to 23 by the start of the season.
They're at 26.
The Flyers got to that number when they sent center Scott Laughton and defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere to Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. Both, who were top candidates to start the season with the Flyers, will start in Lehigh.
The Flyers also waived veteran Zack Stortini. If he isn't picked up, he will join Laughton and Gostisbehere in Lehigh.
Flyers veteran defenseman Kimmo Timonen is in Finland where he is being treated for blood clots in his right leg and both lungs, according to the Flyers on Tuesday.
This isn't the first time Timonen has experienced blood clots. He had them in the same leg during the 2008 playoffs, not allowing him to compete in the Eastern Conference Final against the Penguins.
(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
The Flyers have successfully signed defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere to an entry-level contract on Tuesday according to general manager Paul Holmgren.
Gostisbehere is a junior at Union College, who won the NCAA Division I National Championship on Saturday in Philadelphia. He will report to the Adirondack Phantoms for the remainder of the season.
In the previous four previews, The TCL Flyers team delved into the players who will absolutely make an impact on the Flyers this season.
In the final chapter of this series, I will go into six players who I think will have an impact on this season, whether it be in the juniors or if they get called up to the Flyers some time this season.
I present to you the starting line up of the TCL Flyers Future Team:

TCL Flyers was on the scene for Flyers developmental camp Thursday morning and afternoon at the Virtua SkateZone in Voorhees, NJ.
Included in the roster of very young and hopeful hockey players were twelve defensemen ranging in ages from 18 up to 21 years old.
With defense being one of the toughest positions in the game to play and a position sometimes with a prolonged timeframe to develop well enough to break into the NHL, most of these players are ways away from representing the Flyers consistently in regular season play. But it is still nice to see how these young guys look in various drills.
Standing out yesterday were 21-year-old Mark Alt, 20-year-old Shayne Gostisbehere, and 21-year-old Matt Konan.

On Monday, July 8, the 2013 Flyers Development Camp begins at the SkateZone in Voorhees.
31 Flyers prospects, draft choices and other unsigned invitees are expected to attend. Dan MacNeal has more on the times, rosters and players to keep an eye out for in this year's rookie camp.

The security measures adopted by most large companies have caused cybercriminals to set their sites on small businesses, which are much less secured in general. A 2005 Small Business Information Security Readiness study of 1,000 small businesses revealed that while an estimated 70 percent of respondents considered information security a high priority, and over 80 percent trusted their current security measures, 56 percent had experienced at least one security breach in the past year, and many of these companies had not taken proper steps to prevent future attacks. The study also found that more than 60 percent of small businesses didn't even use the most basic encryption for their wireless networks, and 20 percent didn't use virus scanning software for email.
Former White House cybersecurity advisor Howard Schmidt said the business plan for all companies should include an Internet security plan. "When someone submits a business plan for financing to a bank or the SBA [Small Business Administration] or something, the business plan should not just be about their customer base, product ideas and marketing strategy. It's also important that they have an Internet security plan in place," he said. He also commented that every small business computer security plan should include anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, a firewall and anti-phishing programs on all computers.
Cybersecurity measures are not cheap; experts recommend spending about $200 per employee per year for adequate protection, which should include a vulnerability assessment. In response to the growing demand, many tech companies that offer security suites designed especially for small businesses have recently opened for business.

No English? No Problem Barbara Mori Learns On The JobMay 21st, 2009 - 1:57 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
By Subhash K Jha
Did anyone in India know who Barbara Mori was until the Roshans brought her over for Kites?
And now after Cannes,Barbara is being recognized on an international podium.
It's not just fame that Kites has brought Ms Mori.She also knew no English before she started shooting for Kites. But by the time the shooting concluded she could grope around the English language, thanks to Hrithik Roshan .
Apparenty Barbara and Hrithik made a pact. Hrithik would teach Barbara English and Barbara would teach him Spanish.
"I don't know how much of the promised linguistic exchange worked, But Hrithik knows enough Spanish to understand Mori better than his character in Kites who can't follow a word of what she says in the film," says a crew member.
As for Barbara's angrezi, she has picked up enough to conduct herself coherently with the media in Cannes although apparently, she would often turn to turn to Hrithik to get the right word.
Says Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan, "Barbara knew only Spanish when she started shooting for Kites. That suited us fine since her character is supposed to understand only Spanish. During shooting she needed to communicate with her co-stars and the crew. She was forced to learn English. Now she speaks just enough to make herself understood."
The film's shooting is over. But the editing remains. Rakesh Roshan is hoping for an October release.
"All the prospective buyers and media persons loved the trailer we took to Cannes. This was my first official visit to Cannes though I've been to this city for holidays," says Rakesh Roshan. -Sampurn Media

In 1992 two of the world's most popular action superstars were brought together to create one of the most unforgettable martial arts/action/sci-fi cult classics of its time. The film was Universal Soldier, the stars were Jean-Claude Van Damme (JCVD, Legionnaire, Bloodsport, Kickboxer) and Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, The Punisher, Direct Contact). In 2010 director John Hyams (NYPD Blue, One Dog Day, The Smashing Machine) has brought these legends of action cinema together again for the ultimate future killing machine showdown, Universal Soldier: Regeneration.
The world is in danger and the government is being threatened. Crazed terrorists are on the loose and will stop at nothing to cause death and destruction. Using stolen technology they have created their own version of the Universal Soldier: a lethal robot warrior whose only programme is to kill and kill again. The government's only hope is to regenerate Luc Deveraux, a decommissioned Unisol and expert assassin. His mission: to infiltrate a highly armed fortress, slaughter the enemy and save the world from nuclear disaster. But somebody – or something – is waiting for him, something intent on crushing the future into oblivion. Let the combat commence.

Cinema snobs are going to hate it but hey, they hated the original. This is a perfect example of giving the fans what they want, and it's a smashing sequel. Great to see Dolph back, and JCVD is on fine form. I watched this twice in two days and still wasn't bored with it. Great film, looks grand in Blu-Ray too.
