Ship's pilot blamed for bridge crash
Board to prepare charge, putting case before judge
Published 6:43 pm, Thursday, April 4, 2013
A "chain of errors" by ship pilot Capt. Guy Kleess caused the tanker Overseas Reymar to crash into a tower of the Bay Bridge, according to an investigation by the state Board of Pilot Commissioners, which suspended the pilot's license Thursday.
The commission also plans to file a formal charge - called an accusation - that will result in a trial before a state judge.
The Overseas Reymar, a 748-foot-long tanker, was proceeding to sea from an anchorage off San Francisco after discharging its cargo of crude oil at a Martinez refinery when it hit the base of the Echo tower of the Bay Bridge on Jan. 7.

It was the second time in just over five years that a commercial ship has run into the Bay Bridge. In 2007, the container ship Cosco Busan also hit the bridge, spilling more than 52,000 gallons of fuel oil and killing thousands of birds. The pilot, Capt. John Cota, was found to be responsible for the crash, lost his license and served time in prison.
No oil was spilled in the January crash, but the result of the two crashes has been increased scrutiny on navigation by big ships in the bay.
"This is a very serious incident, a very big deal," retired Rear Adm. Frank Johnston said of the Overseas Reymar crash. Johnston is vice president of the pilot commission and was chairman of a two-member investigation committee.
Distance miscalculated
The committee held weeks of investigations and concluded that Kleess, a veteran pilot, had been involved in "a chain of errors" on the foggy morning when the ship sailed from its anchorage on Jan. 7.
Kleess ordered the anchor weighed at 10:54 a.m., and the ship got under way. He had originally intended to take the ship to sea by way of what is called the Charlie-Delta passage between bridge towers. But he determined that a radar beacon at the center of the passage between the two towers was inoperable, so he decided instead to sail between the Delta and Echo towers.
The Echo tower is closest to Yerba Buena Island, and the passage is 2,212 feet wide.
Kleess ordered the ship to proceed at full engine speed and was making 12 knots. But he miscalculated, and the starboard quarter of the ship - near the stern - hit the Echo Tower at 11:18 a.m., only 24 minutes into the voyage.
Faulty communication
Kleess made a number of errors, according to the commission investigation. Among them, the investigation said, was failing to communicate properly with the ship's personnel on the command bridge, including the ship's master, Capt. Jeffrey Memarion, who was busy talking on a satellite telephone in the minutes leading up the crash.
Also, Kleess relied on only one of the ship's two radars, and though he brought along a laptop device called a portable pilot unit, he did not use it. In addition, the investigation said, Kleess "lost situation awareness," which meant "being aware of what's happening around you," said Capt. Allen Garfinkle, the commission executive director.
Another element, the report cited was what it called Kleess' "complacency." Garfinkle explained this as "a certain comfort level" that made Kleess "satisfied with the situation."
"These actions, taken together, provide an evidentiary pattern which show that Capt. Kleess did not use ordinary care of an expert in his profession."
Kleess did not attend the hearing and has not piloted a ship since the crash.
Attorney's response
Rex Clack, Kleess' attorney, argued that Kleess had an excellent record and that the standard for piloting "is not perfection but reasonable skill."
The charges against Kleess, Clack said, "are only allegations. Now we will proceed to trial."
The commission has several days to draw up the formal accusations, and the case will go to a state administrative law judge this year.
A U.S. Coast Guard investigation is also under way.

Sidra Gulzar: A Perfect Three Years
May 18, 2009
The liberal arts and accounting education that Sidra Gulzar received at Mount Union College has instilled in her the values of hard work and determination. In just three short years she earned a bachelor of arts degree in accounting and now plans to further her education by pursuing a master's degree in accounting.
Gulzar, a native of Karachi, Pakistan moved to the United States with her family in 1999. This May she graduated summa cum laude with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. The 2006 graduate of Marlington High School and 2009 graduate of Mount Union College is confident that the College has prepared her for a successful career. "The courses and curriculum at Mount Union have been rigorous and have instilled values of hard work, determination, and the will to strive for excellence in me," said Gulzar. "My accounting classes have given me a thorough understanding of the accounting principles and concepts that are the foundation of the field. I will take all of the knowledge that I have gained at Mount Union and be confident in approaching any situation knowing I am well prepared to handle any hurdle that comes my way."
Currently she is employed at Carnation Accounting Services, Inc. and plans to pursue a master's degree in accounting next year at the University of Akron.
Gulzar notes that although she is grateful that she received her undergraduate degree at Mount Union, she was initially skeptical. "When I first found out about Mount Union College, I was told it was an institution known for education majors," she said. "I was interested in accounting and was not sure if Mount Union could offer me the kind of education I was looking for." After talking with professors, students and administrators she quickly learned about the low student-faculty ratio and the one-on-one help that would be available. " I was impressed by the beautiful campus and friendly students," Gulzar said. "I was thoroughly pleased with everything I saw, and knew that I would get an education at Mount Union that I could not get at a big university."
"My liberal arts classes have prepared me to look at a problem from a different perspective; they have also given me knowledge of things like art, music, and even theater," she said. "Mount Union College has given me the skills to have a bright and successful future."
Throughout her college career she was awarded The Davis Ellis Shively Sophomore Award, a prize awarded to the member of the sophomore class with the best record in the Department of Economics, Accounting and Business Administration and The Hubert R. Pinney Senior Award in the Department of Economics, Accounting and Business Administration, which was given to the member of the senior class who demonstrated the best overall academic record in the department.

There are three mayor types of crashes:
- Crashes that occur as soon as you start SA/DYOM.
- Crashes that occur during designing a mission.
- Crashes that occur during playing a mission.
Crashes that occur as soon as you start SA/DYOM
These are almost always related to incorrect CLEO3 installation.
- CLEO3 is not installled at all.
- CLEO3 is improperly installed.
- The .exe you have is not compatible with CLEO3 ( see here for a link to a compatible version).
Crashes that occur during designing a mission.
- Do you have other mods installed, that might conflict with DYOM?
- Try to disable CLEO scripts that are active.
- Report the problem in this thread, with as much detail about the moment the crash occurs. What was the state of your mission, and at exactly what moment did it crash? Be as detailed as possible, so instead of reporting that it crashes while adding an actor, it is even better to report that the crash occured right after you pressed <space> while selecting a RPG as the weapon for an actor.
- if possible include scmlog.txt in your report, if you have the scmlog CLEO plug-in installed. (recommended)
Crashes that occur during playing a mission
- Report the problem in this thread, provide a link to the mission-file that you played, and try to describe as accurate as possible the circumstances of the crash.
- if possible include scmlog.txt in your report, if you have the scmlog CLEO plugin installed. (recommended)
We want DYOM to be crash free, and will always try to fix any problems. But we can only fix problems if we can reproduce the problem or if the description of the problem is good enough. This will enable us to get a clue about the location of the bug in our code and we don't have to search in all the 20.000+ lines of scm-code that we have written sofar for this mod.

The Guru Ram Das Ashram was founded in Montague, Massachusetts, in 1972 by Steve Josephs under the inspiration of Yogi Bhajan. Affiliated with the 3HO (Healthy Happy Holy Organization) and the Sikh Dharma Brotherhood, the ashram provided instruction in Kundalini Yoga and Tantric meditation, and at one point, there were as many as 21 residents of the house. Yogi Bhajan married Josephs and his wife Alice in an arranged marriage in 1972, and the couple (then called Gurushabd Singh and Gurushabd Kaur) left the ashram in 1983.
The Josephs Collection includes 13 digital images depicting the Montague ashram and its residents. The collection includes images of Yogi Bhajan and the Josephs.

Hillary Clinton was cruising along, raising big money, triangulating on Iraq, rounding up supporters who felt they had little choice but to sign on. And then Geffen spoke up. Suddenly Democrats all over the country may be thinking to themselves, "Well, what about that? Why exactly do we have to be for Hillary anyway? Shouldn't we consider some alternatives?"
Once unleashed, this series of thoughts is subversive. So much of the Hillary Clinton candidacy depends on an aura of inevitability, supported by oodles of money and a fear of retribution if you're not on board. But what if she's not inevitable? And what if the retribution isn't so all-powerful?
I note that Kristol calls Maureen Dowd "the New York Times gossip columnist."

Commercial air service success 'unprecedented'
Better than expected.
Much better than expected.
Really, really great, in fact.
These conclusions by Mammoth Mountain about the success of air service this past year indicate that Mammoth is getting on the map in ways that will benefit not just the economy, but much more.
First, it's turning out to be a very good investment for both the Mountain and the region, no small matter, given the recession.
"What we are getting is a $23 million dollar return for a $2.2 to $2.5 million cost," said Howard Pickett, the Mountain's Chief Marketing Officer.
Most of that return is seen during the busy winter flights, but $5.1 million comes directly from the new, summer service (the number is derived by multiplying the amount of money a typical person spends while here, which is $1,600, times the number of fliers).
That ROI, in and of itself, is impressive, especially given the short amount of time the Mammoth Yosemite Airport has been open to commercial service.
In the past year, the airport had 14,400 "enplanements" (the number of times a passenger boarded a plane), far above the 10,000 needed to maintain the large Federal Aviation Administration grant that helped develop the airport and is critical to its operation.
"This is an unprecedented success," Pickett said. "And it's getting noticed."
Airlines and the FAA both are starting to pay close attention to the numbers, Pickett said.
That can only mean good news for the airport and the region, as airlines realize there is a market for their services and become more willing to invest in adding flights to and from Mammoth.
What's more, the numbers for enplanements are not only going up, they are going up very fast, he said.
Advance bookings for this winter are up 60 percent over this time last year, with the new San Francisco flight picking up seats especially quickly.
Summer bookings were also higher than expected, by about one percent, something Pickett expects to only increase as more people learn about he service.
"Next summer should be even better," he said. "We now have an extensive marketing program in place, not just the Mountain, but also the Town of Mammoth and Mono County and there will be one more year behind us of overall awareness about the service, so that will bring in more people as well," he said.
Rusty Gregory believes the summer season has huge potential.
"There are four million people a summer visiting Yosemite," Gregory said.
The demand is there, we just need to up our distribution network."
And, according to a recent passenger survey, most either would not have come without the flights, or, will come to Mammoth more often because of the air service, he said.
No matter how you look at it, both kinds of behavior translate to more money coming into the local economy.
But there's a rub. Even if the cost of the air service is "just" $2.5 million, as compared to some $23 million in returns, that's still a lot of money for a relatively small county, town and ski hill.
For the past several years, the Mountain and the Town have been subsidizing some airline enplanements in order to compensate for the still-slow off-season months of June, September and October (at a cost of about $278,000 each per year).
Earlier this year, the airport-wary Mono County joined in, in return for getting year-round service from Horizon Air. The county agreed to help pay for the subsidies, with a $45,000 per year maximum contribution.
Added to the Town and ski area's contributions, the total subsidy amount was about $600,000.
Now, given the growth of air service, the time is ripe to get all three entities on board equally, according to Gregory.
And no, the recession is not a good excuse to say no.
"We are all trying not to spend money, so this is a difficult time to spend more ... but we can't expect to change our economic future just by cutting," he said.
"We can't do the same thing and get different results. This is the one thing that we are doing that is clearly showing a huge benefit. This is exactly what government is supposed to do; invest the public's money judiciously, in things that show a good return."
Splitting the cost of subsidy next year, brings the bill for each entity – town, county and ski area – to $215,000.
That's no small potatoes to a county struggling to pay its bills, and Dave Wilbrecht, Mono County Administrator, knows it will be at the top of the county supervisors' minds when he takes the request to them.

Now wasn't that easy?
Mammoth and United Airlines opened the door to San Francisco and Northern California a week ago, and it could not have gone more smoothly.
"It only took 35 minutes," swooned Mammoth Mountain Ski Area marketing director Joani Lynch of the flight.
Gone was the seven-to-eight hour drive from the City and the East Bay.
Also gone was annoying hum that a prop-jet makes (Horizon). This is a full-on, 66-passenger Bombardier jet that handles high altitude.
The once-a-day flight sailed in right on time, under clear skies, shortly before five o'clock on Thursday, Dec. 16, with MMSA executives (we'll count Woolly) and a herd of skiers and snowboarders clambering off behind them.
Cameras flashed. High fives ensued.
Greeting the passengers at Mammoth Yosemite Airport were town and business leaders, who exchanged Champagne toasts, the Champagne courtesy of the ski area.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco the next day, the San Francisco Examiner appeared with a full, four-page wrapped cover about Mammoth.
The unlocking of San Francisco also included a snazzy set of photos on the MMSA Facebook page, with Woolly riding BART, posing at the Golden Gate Bridge, riding cable cars all over the hills and the requisite pose at Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill.
And to think, all it took was years of airport reconfiguration, years of negotiation, town in-fighting, federal intervention (the FAA), the introduction of the Transportation Security Administration, a series of long Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and town studies and, finally, staffing.

I was just finishing my gun studies when number seven walked in to the room we shared and sat on my bed. She is a petite red head who was always up beat."So what are you doin"she said curiously."Studying"i said coldly. I wasnt here to make friends."Come" on she persisted "lets do some thing". "No" i said briskly. She looked like she was going to say somthing so i shot her a death glare and she dropped it. "Hey, dont you think that its weird weve known each other for a year and i still dont even know your name" she asked. "I dont have a name" i said trying to end the conversation. "Of caurse you do" she said suprised by my response "my name is lizzie". "Why do you always try to talk to me" i retorted harshly. She looked some what hurt" well i thought maybe we could be yah know friends or some thing" she siad embarassed. I didnt know what to do to after she said that so i left.
Where is it!!! I was throwing things out of my trunk looking for that stupid pencil. My bed was a mess. Thats when i saw it. Not the pencil but my old scrapbook. I looked at the first page and imediatly stopped. It was my jacob. I tried to hold of the tears but i wouldnt be able to hold them back mush longer. I couldnt risk some one walking in and seeing me like this. I ran with the scrap book to my secret spot on the roof. When i got there i colapsed and let the tears flow. 'Well' i thought to myself 'i might as well finish my torchor. I started looking threw the book. My jacob, charlie, renee, so many faces each one Mdelivered its own uniquie sting to the hole in my chest. My body froze when i reached the last page. It was him. My edward. A whole new wave of sadness hit me like nothing i had ever felt before and my body shoke with sobs. I whipped around when i heard a tiny voice. "He hurt you didnt he" it was lizzie. "How long have you been here" i said already knowing the anwser. I silently cursed my self for not making sure i was alone sooner. "I was already up here when you came" she said sadly. I could hear the pity in her voice. "Save your pity for some one else because i dont need it" i said harshly thru my tears. "What happened" she said. Before i could stop my self i was in her arms and telling her every thing. For to long i needed some one to talk to and when the opurtunity arose i couldnt stop. I told her about my parents and leaving to forks, about meeting edward and falling in love, and finally about him leving me and how it felt. How he toke my heart and broke it in the process. After that we were unseperatable. I defended her and helped her and when it came to my problems she was my rock. The single person who knew all my secrets even about them being vampires and she found out why im gaurded and why my heart is so cold. With her i was almost happy. We were best friends.
We were on our way to school. Our chief made it mandatory for us to attend highschool because the police were geting their suspicions that the kids no attending high school. I had heard there would be more new students today. I wondered wich ones all thru third period. The bell rang startling me out of my thoughts. I left the classroom to meet lizzie in the hall." I wonder wich recruits are comeing to day" i said curiously. "There arnt any recruits coming today" she said slighly amused."What do you mean there are no recruits coming today" i said." i mean there arnt any recruits coming today" she said slightly worried. Then it hit me. Five new students. "No No No they cant be there they cant" i whispered. Lizzie was definetly worried now" who cant be back, bella talk to me, use your words" she said. Timidly i looked into the cafateria and almost dropped to the floor in pain. At the other side of the cafateria thier were five beautifully pale people all staring at me.

How to Deal with IE 6 after Dropping Support
As announced at IE Death march*, I recently dropped support for Internet Explorer 6. As newer versions of Firefox, Opera, and Safari (and others) continue to improve consistency and provide better support for standards-based techniques, having to carry IE 6 along for the ride — for any reason — is painful. Thanks to the techniques described in this article, I am free to completely ignore (figuratively and literally) IE 6 when developing and designing websites. Now that I have dropped support for IE 6, I feel liberated, free of the constraints that once enslaved my time, energy, and resources. Working […] Read more »

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval is creating a new council to examine the state's mental health system.
The first-term Republican governor announced the Behavioral Health and Wellness Council on Monday, established by executive order.
It follows a series of investigations by The Sacramento Bee newspaper that detailed incidents of patients at Nevada's primary psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas being provided one-way bus tickets.
On Sunday, the Bee reported that in recent years the busing of patients often led to crime and tragedy in other cities around the country.
The 20-member council will include state administrators as well as representatives of both public and private mental health providers, law enforcement, the judicial system and patients or family members of mental health patients.
The council will submit reports to the governor twice annually.

DeKALB – DeKalb School District 428 might trade land used by youth soccer leagues for land near DeKalb High School that is owned by ShoDeen Construction for a future expansion.
The district's board gave Superintendent Jim Briscoe consent to start formulating a formal agreement with the developer in a land swap that board President Tom Matya described as inevitable.
"I feel like we're doing the right thing for the future," Matya said in an interview before the meeting. "We're taking an asset right now that has no value to us."
The district would exchange 33.46 acres of land adjacent to DeKalb High School for 41.68 acres the district owns near Huntley Middle School and Fairview Cemetery. But the proposed deal also would free the district from paying $42,000 a year on a $1.05 million credit the district issued years ago.
Instead of paying $40,000 an acre for the land that was developed for DHS, the district made a deal with Macon Development to pay a lower rate in exchange for an impact fee credit.
However, the two parties also agreed that if Macon does not develop there, the district has to pay 4 percent – or $42,000 – a year starting in 2013. Now that ShoDeen has bought the property from Macon, the deal carries over, Briscoe added.
In addition, ShoDeen will pay the district $654,511 as reimbursements for the public improvements that were made when DHS was built.
As for ShoDeen, it does not have to pay impact fees on its development until
the district gets 600 students from the developer's Fairview or Irongate communities or in seven years, whichever comes first.
David Patzlet, president of ShoDeen Construction, said in an interview after the presentation that this provision was essential for him, as impact fees would drive up the price of the homes.
Development at the Fairview property would mean the destruction of those soccer fields. Briscoe said he has spoken with some of the parents involved with DeKalb AYSO about the school district's plans. The Fairview field is the only DeKalb field listed as being used by DeKalb AYSO on their website.
Both Briscoe and Matya, during the meeting and an interview before the meeting, said they are offering to help the youth soccer league.
"We would be a working partner with them to help accommodate their needs, and they seemed very receptive," Matya said at the meeting.
Briscoe said in an interview before the meeting that he would help find alternate fields for DeKalb AYSO to play on, and that they should plan to play at Fairview until at least the summer 2013 season.
The land near the high school offers more promise to the district than the soccer fields near Fairview. Briscoe said DHS has no room to expand in the future. Roughly 1,800 students are enrolled there this year, but Briscoe said there could be 2,500 or 3,000 students in the future.
"There will be all kinds of pending issues, I suspect, in 10 to 15 years none of us will predict," Briscoe said. "What this does – the concept here – we felt this land, in 10 to 15 years, will be more valuable to the school district than [the Fairview property]."
Briscoe offered no prediction on how the land could be used. He said it could be anywhere from expanded academic and athletic programs to more parking to a new building. There are no long-term plans for the Fairview property.
There was very little discussion and no dissent from the other board members after Briscoe's presentation.
Only one member of the public, Kerry Mellott, spoke on the topic. Mellott, a retired Fermilab engineer who sits on the district's finance and facilities advisory committee, said he was concerned by the loss of value in the Fairview property and inequity in the district.
"I think we have to be somewhat mindful of the amount of money spent at the new high school, close to $90 million," Mellott said. "And none of the rest of the schools in the district, except for Cortland, our newest school, in terms of recent expenses."

I'll pay for convenience, but there is no way I will pay extra for infrastructure or lack of commercials. The infrastructure is a cost for the distributor, not added value for me. The lack of commercials is the default state. I would expect content to be cheaper or free if financed by commercials.
Ok, who do you propose pays for the infrastructure and maintenance?
Paying a premium not to get the commercials is fine by me. Getting it cheaper, subsidised by commercials is probably fine by others. No matter how
My point here is that the costs for the manufacturer and distributor don't factor into what I'm willing to pay for something.
Ok, so the manufacturer and distributor shouldn't get paid. They won't "sell" to you at a loss either.
There are products that are not manufactured at all bacause the costs would be too high compared to what the end user is willing to pay. If the convenience of having a coat to keep me warm in winter is worth $100, I won't pay $200 for it to cover the costs of transportation etc.

1. With Subscription TV you're already paying for the content, yet they show the commercials anyway.
2. Your convenience is not really something that cost money to the Studio.
3. This is a real cost, but looking at other online file services, it should be pretty cheap.
1. Advertising is subsidising the content. Without it, it is more expensive. Nevertheless, it should be an option
2. Isn't it? Keeping the content available to me at all times isn't free.
3. Of course, this cost isn't really large. It's just a hu
Yeah, if only DVD's didn't come with annoying ads, trailers and "do-not-pirate-shit infomercials" that I can't skip, that'd make what you say true.If I could pay $2 per episode for content that was guaranteed to be ad-free, DRM-free (or free enough that it doesn't hinder my fair use efforts), persistent (meaning it doesn't get deleted out from under me), and included added-value content like commentaries and behind-the-scenes features, I would.
Oh wait, it's called buying it on DVD.
Or I guess you could copy just the movie file to a DVD-R(W).
That's the "value-added content"!Yeah, if only DVD's didn't come with annoying ads, trailers and "do-not-pirate-shit infomercials" that I can't skip, that'd make what you say true.

It's sad but you are wrong about that part. The makers of reality shows, especially 24/7 ones like Big Brother, already make a sizeable chunk of money on webcast subscriptions. If anything there would be even more of that reality crap with the direct model because the main constraint for them would go away namely availability of airtime. Part of why reality shows are popular among the tv networks is that they

Flambeau Inc. has obtained a complete victory in a patent litigation case against eTAGZ Inc. On December 13, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah ruled from the bench that all patent claims against Flambeau by eTAGZ Inc. are invalid.
eTAGZ had accused a number of Flambeau's Duncan Toy Co.'s products and Flambeau Outdoors products of infringing 81 claims in three related patents. As part of its patent enforcement program, eTAGZ sued more than 40 other entities in a long string of lawsuits over these same patents, and it sent a large number of pre-litigation demands for licensing fees to others. As of the time of the ruling, several lawsuits were still pending against other parties on the patents at issue in the case.
Flambeau was represented in the lawsuit by the law firm Quarles & Brady LLP of Madison, Wis., and the team of Josephine Benkers, Michael J. Curley, Martha Jahn Snyder, Stacey A. Alexejun, and Anthony A. Tomaselli of Quarles & Brady, with the assistance of David Bennion of Parsons, Behle & Latimer as local counsel.

The famed sisters of "Wonderful Town"
Our friend Bill Katz holds down the fort at Urgent Agenda. He writes to follow up on my brief celebration of "Wonderful Town," the Wonderful Musical that I saw on Broadway in the 2004 revival starring Donna Murphy. Bill adds back into the mix much of the incredible human interest that I left out of the story: Earlier this week Scott wrote a piece on the musical, "Wonderful Town," which »
Sense and severability
The issue in the Obamacare argument before the Supreme Court this morning goes under the heading of severability. The issue only becomes relevant if the Court holds Obamacare's individual mandate unconstitutional, the issue before it in the argument held yesterday. Thus the whole argument this morning becomes moot if the Court upholds the mandate. Having read the transcript and listened to the audio of yesterday's argument, I think it is »
Uncommon Knowledge with Mitch McConnell
In this intensely interesting episode of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson — interesting from beginning to end — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell takes a look back at the dark days of 2009 when the Democrats held 60 seats in the Senate. With that majority, the Democrats jammed Obamacare down our throats, but without a single Republican vote: Once it was clear the president was going to try to turn »
Justice Kennedy on the Brink
Our former colleague Paul Mirengoff provides his impressions of today's oral argument in Department of Health and Human Services v. Florida: When all was said and done, it seemed to me that we are where most people outside of the wishful thinking liberal commentariat thought we'd be – with the fate of Obamacare riding on a conflicted Justice Kennedy. To be sure, Chief Justice Roberts did not fully tip his »
Senators Call Obama On His Energy Lies
The Obama administration's energy policies have been a disaster for America. Obama appointed a Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, who shared Obama's desire that fossil fuel prices increase, so that it would be more expensive for you to drive your car, heat your home, buy groceries, power your laptop, and so on. Obama wanted higher prices in order to reduce carbon emissions and to enrich the Democratic Party fat cats »
Is Obamacare Going Down?
Obamacare has run into a buzz saw at the Supreme Court. That isn't really a surprise, and, as countless commentators have pointed out, you can't necessarily predict a judge's opinion from the tenor of his questions during oral argument. Still, Justice Kennedy, a moderate liberal, is likely the decisive vote, so the fact that he explicitly recognized that Obamacare is unprecedented is heartening to conservatives: Kennedy: [H]ere the government is »
The Upside-Down Constitution
While we wait for Day Two of the Obamacare argument at the Supreme Court, let's take a detour for the moment to acknowledge what I am certain is going to be regarded as one of the most significant books about the Constitution of our time—a book that will have long shelf life among legal academics and people serious about understanding the Constitution: it's Michael Greve's The Upside-Down Constitution, just out »
Obama's useful idiocy: A look back
Obama's private conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was not intended for public consumption. It carried a secret that Obama wanted to keep from the American people — before the election. He did not want to let them in on it until after he had won his "last election" and had the "flexibility" that comes from not having to submit himself for the approval of the American people.

Wonderful Town
When I visited my oldest daughter in New York in 2004, I'd never heard of "Wonderful Town." A revival of the 1953 musical, book by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Comden and Greene, was playing on Broadway. We went to see it on the strength of the creators. The star of the show was Donna Murphy in the role originally played by Shirley Booth »

The exchange was picked up by microphones as reporters were »
Something from nothing?
Among my favorite review/essays are Samuel Johnson's demolition of Soame Jenyns' A Free Enquiry Into the Nature and Origin of Evil and Hugh Kenner's demolition of John Harrison's putative takedown of Yeats, Pound, Eliot et al., The Reactionaries. Were it not for Johnson, no one would remember Jenyns, and Kenner performed a similar favor for Harrison (through the graces of William F. Buckley, who anthologized Kenner's essay in Did You »
A word from Stephen Fields, SJ
Last month I briefly paid tribute to my and my youngest daughter's Latin teacher, Dartmouth's Professor Edward Bradley, in "Speaking of Metamorphoses."

It's always something with Aerosmith. Just as the Boston band is about to release a new CD – their first of all-original music in over a decade – there are reports that Steven Tyler and fiancée Erin Brady have broken up.
The New York Post reported Wednesday that Tyler and Brady have split, and the cause may be the flamboyant frontman's insistence on staying sober. The 64-year-old singer, who's long battled drug and alcohol problems, has been in rehab eight times, including once with Brady, who's 38.
The band's publicist vehemently denies the Post report, sending us this statement: "Just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship, Steven and Erin are asking for their privacy at this time. They are engaged to be married and each is committed to their sobriety. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false and misleading."
Monday, Aerosmith is scheduled to be in Boston to play a noontime show at an undisclosed location – a Rolling Stones-worthy PR stunt intended to hype the band's new CD, "Music From Another Dimension!," which comes out Tuesday. (The performance also precedes the next leg of the band's "Global Warming Tour," which heated up TD Garden in July.)
Tyler and Brady (inset above), a former Live Nation tour accountant, have been together for several years and got engaged, somewhat unexpectedly, last winter during a trip to Hawaii. (TMZ reported at the time that Tyler's kids — Liv, Mia, Chelsea, and Taj — were not pleased.) Brady made headlines a few years ago when she and a female Aerosmith fan got into a brawl at the Pangaea nightclub in Hollywood, Fla.
Tyler has been married twice before — to David Johansen's ex-wife Cyrinda Foxe in 1978 and, 10 years later, to Teresa Barrick. In his recent memoir, "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?" Tyler described Brady as a "tough chick" and also revealed that the two were in rehab together at California's Las Encinas Hospital in 2007.

Coventry look set to sign Martin Cranie after agreeing an undisclosed fee with Portsmouth.
The England Under-21 defender is due at the Ricoh Arena on Wednesday to undergo a medical, with the Championship club hoping to complete the deal later in the day.
Cranie, 22, started his career as a trainee at Southampton, having loan spells at Bournemouth and Yeovil before switching to south-coast rivals Pompey in June 2007.
He enjoyed a month-long spell at QPR later that year before spending the first half of last season with Charlton, making 19 league starts.
Yet he has managed just two Premier League appearances, one of those coming from the bench, during his three years at Fratton Park and now looks set for a move to the West Midlands.
Cranie was one of the top performers for England at this summer's European Championship, netting the opening goal in the dramatic semi-final triumph over hosts Sweden.

Justin Wood to Head Track & Field and Cross Country Programs
NJCAA Hall of Famer Justin Wood has been named the new head coach of all six Stevens track & field and cross country programs, Director of Athletics Russell Rogers announced. Wood is the former head coach at the State University of New York at Delhi, where he led the Broncos to a pair of National Junior College Athletic Association Championships in 2009 and 2010.
"I am thankful to Russ Rogers and the rest of the search committee for the opportunity to join the Stevens community," said Wood. "The program is on the brink of taking off to a new level with our incoming class and talented returning athletes. I am excited to lead the programs through this exciting time and expect to see Stevens cross country and track & field rise to new levels of success."
In addition to his two national championships, seven more of Wood's Delhi men's and women's track& field and cross country teams finished as the national runner-up from 2009 through 2012. In total, the Mustangs produced 23 NJCAA individual national champions (13 men, 10 women) and 121 NJCAA All-Americans in his four years there.
Wood was inducted into the NJCAA Hal of Fame in 2010 and was the 2009 NJCAA men's indoor track and field Coach of the Year.
In 2009, Delhi's men's cross country team turned in the best-ever performance at the NJCAA Cross Country Championships with 22 points as the runners placed first, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, 12th and 19th. Six student-athletes earned All-America status from that team alone.
At the 2012 NJCAA Indoor National Championships, freshman Tiyi Boone won the first indoor national title in Delhi women's indoor history by scoring 3396 points in the pentathlon. In the spring season, Boone won another four national titles, set a meet record in the high jump and was named NJCAA Field Athlete of the Meet for her performance.
An alum of Delhi himself, Wood won four individual national titles for the Mustangs and is still the school-record holder in the 1,000-meters, 1,500-m and 3,000-m. He went on to complete his bachelor's degree Seton Hall University, where he earned All-Big East honors in 2006.
With eligibility remaining as he began graduate school, Wood competed at Southern Connecticut State University and finished 10th at the 2007 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the final of the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Wood earned a master's in exercise science/human performance at SCSU, graduated cum laude from Seton Hall with a degree in social and behavioral science and owns an associate degree of physical education studies from Delhi.
After graduating from SCSU, Wood stayed on staff for a year and helped lead the Owls to a pair of conference titles in 2008 before taking the head coaching job at Delhi.

1. Preface
Rating 0/5 Word Count 503 Review this Chapter
Time moves quickly for me, for my kind. It changes everything around me, leaving my family and me the same. New inventions emerged, styles of clothing changed, and we watched them all occur, adapting easily, never actually changing ourselves. Time never touched our stone cold forms.
Time was nothing to us.
But it was everything to her.
She wanted so badly to give up her life and become a damned monster. Every moment of her life was almost sacred to me, and she was so willing to destroy it. How could I possibly let that happen? No, I did the right thing for her, I couldn't let her do something so criminal as to kill herself.
I was wrong for her, I knew this. My world did not belong with hers. She needed to be happy, and normal, things she could not be if she stayed with me. I had to convince myself of this. I could not continue destroying her life and taking her away from being human.
I thought it would keep her safe.
Now that she was dead, gone forever, time meant something to me too. It moved slowly now, each lingering moment another blow of excruciating pain to my lifeless heart.
I knew it would come to this eventually. She would have died eventually, but I had no idea it would be this soon.
I walked silently through the stoned halls of the Volterra clock tower building, after having been rejected by the Volturi yet again.
I unbuttoned my shirt slowly as I walked. Hopefully it would be quick.
I doubt that there is any afterlife waiting for me. I want there to be, though. A place where I can be with her again. Just her and me, alone together, where there is no more pain for either of us. This kind of place couldn't be too unrealistic, now that I thought about it. Maybe Carlisle will be right.
The large wooden doors stood open at the entrance to the building, and I stood there, in the shadows, watching the red cloaked tourists wave flags and flash plastic fangs.
Suddenly, the clock boomed overhead. Noon. The humans outside covered their ears, and walked away from the noise, some turning to glare at the giant clock. None of them noticed me. Yet. They would not be able to ignore me, and the Volturi would have no choice but to kill me.
Sighing, I removed my shirt completely and let it fall to the floor.
"Bella," I whispered for what would be the last time, closing my eyes. I let her face swirl around in my mind, remembering every moment I had had with her, every touch, every look, I even let myself remember her scent.
I felt another sharp jab of anguish, but cast it aside, trying to convince myself that I would be with her again, in some way.
As the final gong sounded from the clock, I stepped out into the blazing Italian sun.

Maui CC Receives $10 Million in Grants for Rural Development and Job Training Programs
Largest award to date to a community college in HawaiiMaui College
Statewide Project Director
Maui Community College (Maui CC) announced that it has received $10 million in grants for rural development and job training programs on Maui, Molokaʻi, Lanaʻi, Kauaʻi and the Big Island through the U.S. Department of Labor. This is the largest award to date to a community college in the state of Hawaiʻi. In 2002, Maui CC received a $6.9-million award from the U.S. Department of Labor, which until now was the largest award to a community college in Hawaiʻi.
Statewide coordination of the $5-million Rural Development Project (RDP) and the $5-million Rural Job Training Initiative (RJTI) will be administered by the RDP office on the Maui CC campus under the direction of Statewide Project Director John Dunnicliffe. Dr. Clyde Sakamoto, Maui CC chancellor, is the principal investigator for the grants. Sakamoto noted that this grant "addresses some of the state's most complex economic and educational challenges with a focus on long-range and lasting impacts."
Through Maui CC, the RDP also provides funding to Hawaiʻi and Kauaʻi Community Colleges to develop workforce training programs that contribute to sustainable economic development and diversification in rural communities. The RJTI focuses on enhancing the employment potential of individuals in rural communities, with an emphasis on high-demand professions such as education and health care. Selected project initiatives must continue beyond the life of the federal grant to meet the sustainability test.
U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye was instrumental in establishing the RDP in 1997. The original rural development grant of $200,000 was awarded in 1997 to Lanaʻi. The funding evolved from Senator Inouye's desire to address the needs expressed by the Lanaʻi community for assistance with computer literacy, leadership training, job development and youth mentoring. Senator Inouye emphasized, "these resources empower rural communities to work collaboratively to create new employment possibilities. This federal investment counts on a growing recognition of higher education's value in job creation through partnerships."
Based on the Lanaʻi program's success, the scope of the project was expanded to include the islands of Maui, Molokaʻi, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island. In 2002, the project was further expanded to include rural Oʻahu.
"This innovative, community-based approach leverages our rural community colleges to create partnerships with employers who provide new and more jobs at a living wage. We're very grateful to Senator Inouye for supporting these UH relationships with private and public sector partners to strengthen Hawaiʻi's rural economy," said UH President Evan Dobelle.
On August 11, Maui CC will host a "Celebration of Rural Development" with Senator Inouye as a guest speaker and featuring individuals who have participated in projects supported by the Rural Development Project and the Rural Job Training Initiative.

The Neosho R-5 Board of Education is scheduled to take action on a proposed high school classroom addition at their monthly school board meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Neosho Administrative Center, 418 Fairground Rd.
The Neosho R-5 Board of Education is scheduled to take action on a proposed high school classroom addition at their monthly school board meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Neosho Administrative Center, 418 Fairground Rd.
Board members have discussed the need for additional space at the high school on numerous occasions at recent meetings and work sessions, but each time have expressed the need to have an updated district master plan in place before taking action.
On Monday, the district will vote on whether or not to approve KRJ Architects to amend and finalize plans for an 11-classroom addition to the high school, which is also intended to help the district determine the financial feasibility of the classroom addition plan.
Darren Cook, NHS principal, as well as several high school teachers, attended the September school board meeting to voice their concerns about overcrowding at the high school.
Despite the mobile classrooms currently utilized at the high school campus, NHS teachers continue to be short on space and forced to share classrooms. Several teachers spoke of the difficulties associated with carrying their classrooms on carts, including often being late to their own classes, and having less instructional time.
The school board had previously discussed the high school classroom addition under former superintendent Richard Page.
Board members are also expected to vote on the approval of Business Information Services, LLC to provide a demographic study for the district.
The study would include demographic information to be used in the creation of a long-range plan, as well provide the district with operational data for transportation and elementary districting.
According to the administrative recommendation, the district is interested in the gold level package, which would include add-ons for bus routing efficiency analysis and attendance boundary adjustment. The service would cost the district between $22,000 and $30,000 and is not to exceed $30,000.
In other business, school board members are scheduled to:
• Consider approval of the 13th annual Senior Citizen Appreciation Banquet, to be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 16 at the Neosho Middle School.
• Vote, for a second time, on the approval of the Neosho R-5 district's bus routes and ridership lists. State law requires that the board approve the lists twice a year.
• Vote on an annual update to the state-mandate assessment plan. The plan identifies assessments used in the district for gifted, Title I, English as a second language, and special education, as well as health and other assessment screenings. The plan also determines the times when the assessments are to be completed.
• Consider the adoption of Gallagher-Bassett as the district's insurance consultant.
• Recognize the district's student, classified and certified employees, and patron of the month.
• Meet, in executive session, to discuss personnel issues.

The Baseball Hall of Fame announcement came down and nobody got in this year, the first time that's happened since 1996.
As the Hall of Fame helpfully pointed out today, that year Phil Niekro, Tony Perez and Don Sutton were the top three vote-getters, and all three were elected over the next several years.
But of course the main story-line is that the mean, mean, evil 569-person BBWAA electorate only gave Barry Bonds 36.2%, Roger Clemens 37.6%, Curt Schilling (38.8%), Mike Piazza (57.8%), Jeff Bagwell (59.6%) and Craig Biggio (68.2%) ... all below the 75% threshold necessary for Cooperstown induction.
Jack Morris, in his 14th year of eligibility, got 67.7% of the vote and will need about 50 more "yes" votes next year (depending on the total vote-count, which varies year to year) to make it in his final year.
By the way, I voted for Bonds, Clemens, Biggio, Bagwell, Schilling, Dale Murphy, Jack Morris and Tim Raines. Yell at me if you must, but not about those guys.
I'm also surprised the votes for Bonds and Clemens, in particular, were so low. I figured something around the 50% mark for both, but it seems that a large chunk of the BBWAA electorate just decided that the steroid cloud was too much to overcome, at least this year.
I do think both Bonds and Clemens will eventually get to Cooperstown. Maybe not next year, maybe not in two years, but I think this particular year the voting became largely about a statement, not about the relative merits of most of the candidates.
I knew the BBWAA electorate would get heat for this, and it is. Lots of lots of charges of hypocrisy and idiocy and corruption or whatever.
But it's 569 individual voters, with individual opinions, and individual thoughts about this complicated issue of PED-use and the Hall of Fame.
It's not a collective effort to be mean to great players, or if it is, I missed the meeting and I obviously have screwed up by voting for many of the suspected.
It's a vote. It's a controversial time. If you don't like it, I understand. But that's the way votes go.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has tipped Luis Suarez to win the PFA Player of the Year award.
The Northern Irishman has revealed he thinks that his star striker should be awarded the prize after a fine season, and praises the Uruguayan's consistency throughout the campaign.
The 26-year-old has been sensational this term at Anfield, leading the goalscoring charts in the Premier League with 22.
"He will certainly be in the reckoning [for the PFA Player of the Year]. His league goals alone should put him in with a great shout but you also need to look at his consistency throughout the season that makes him arguably the best player," he told Yahoo! in a press release sent to GiveMeFootball.
The former Watford and Swansea manager understands how frustrating the forward must be for opposing players and fans, but insists he is one of the most likeable characters he has ever met off the pitch.
"When you know him as a person and as a man like we do here, you can see why so many people love him. He is a player who has great humility, I see the guy everyday and I've worked with hundreds of junior and senior players and he is one of the most likeable, most humble people I've come across.
"He is also a multi-talented footballer who has shown that he is at a world class level now. The likability of any player is always up for debate, and people will always use their own moral compass to judge Luis Suarez, but that's not something I tend to focus on."
However, Rodgers was very impartial when asked whether the league's top scorer is the most talented player he has ever worked with in his career.
"I've been fortunate enough to work with lots of really good players so it would be disrespectful to single out the best," Rodgers continued.
"What I am sure of though, is his warrior spirit and I love his humility, work rate, attitude to training and his desire to be a winner."
The man who worked under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea also acknowledged the influence of captain Steven Gerrard upon the Reds this term, claiming that it is a privilege to work with someone of the Englishman's quality.
"It's been his best season in relation to the number of games he's played – he has played every minute of every game for us this season, and as a leader of the team he has been immense," he concluded.
"It has been a real privilege to work with someone of that calibre and quality.
"Again, the mark of the man is that he is a very humble guy. This season he has scored goals, created chances, is still an international captain and at 32 still has the hunger, drive and determination to be better.
"He's had an outstanding season and I'm sure he'll continue to get better over the coming seasons."
Rodgers was speaking ahead of Liverpool's clash against West Ham United in the Premier League this weekend, with the Anfield outfit still fighting hard for a place in Europe.

FITCHBURG -- The Leominster High ice hockey team talked all preseason long about starting the season fast.
Well, the Blue Devils definitely did just that.
Leominster struck for two first-periods goals and added two more in the second period for a four-goal lead before holding off area rival St. Bernard's in a season-opening, 4-2 victory Wednesday night at the Wallace Civic Center.
"I was happy with the way we competed," Leominster coach Chris Kyne said. "This is probably the first time in a long time that our team competed for 45 minutes. That's something that we've been harping on all year long.
"It's important to play well in your first game. This is something we can build on."
Senior second-line center Joey Apicella led the Leominster offense with two goals and one assist, while junior goaltender Logan Bergeron made 21 saves for the win between the pipes.
"I thought it all started in net with No. 30 Logan Bergeron. He was very strong and gave us a lot of confidence," Kyne said. "Joey Apicella, a senior leader for us, he really stepped up big for us. He led the way."
Leominster (1-0) came out in the first period fired up, while St. Bernard's (0-2) came out extremely flat. The slow start cost St. Bernard's, too, as the Blue Devils got two goals for a 2-0 lead after the first period.
Apicella had both tallies in the opening period. Cam Cordio (goal, assist) made a nice pass over the Apicella, who finished the play by beating St.
Apicella struck again, as the senior charged in from the near boards and unleashed a sizzling writer that deflected off Goliber and then caught some post before going into the back of the net. Matt Richard assisted on the goal 13:14 in.
"I'm a little disappointed with the effort I got out of my kids in the first period," St. Bernard's coach Jim Conry said. "You've got to come ready to play, and we just didn't come out of the blocks skating hard today."
Leominster kept pouring it on in the second period, getting goals from junior left wing Matt LaVanway at 1:37 and Cordio 6:39 in for a commanding 4-0 advantage.
"It's something you don't expect," Kyne said. "I know as a team we never expected to be up 4-nothing."
St. Bernard's was down, but it wasn't out. The Bernardians fought back and owned the final seven-plus minutes of the period to cut the deficit to 4-2.
Ethan Schlegel (goal, assist) gave the Bernardians life, taking a feed from Brandon Ecklund (goal, assist) and lighting the lamp at 7:06. Minutes later, Schlegel won a faceoff in the Leominster end and Ecklund banged home the puck by Bergeron at 13:31.
"We didn't come out flying at all. We really didn't skate until the middle of the second period," Conry said. "They could have packed it in when it was 4-nothing, but they hung in there and came back. That's a good sign."
Schelgel was awarded a penalty shot after being dragged down on a breakaway, but Bergeron made a nice save to stone Schlegel.
St. Bernard's couldn't beat Bergeron again, as the junior goalie denied scoring bids by Casey Downes (twice) and Liam O'Brien in the final period to lift Leominster to a season-opening victory.

Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef Sandwiches
Posted by + Show Post
Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef Sandwiches from the Betty Crocker site!
You Need:
- 2
- 1/2- to 3-pound beef boneless rump roast
- 1/2
- teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2
- teaspoon salt
- 1/4
- teaspoon garlic pepper
- 1
- large sweet onion (such as Bermuda, Maui, Spanish or Walla Walla), sliced
- 3/4
- cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
- 8
- hoagie buns, split
- 1/4
- cup sun-dried tomato spread, if desired
- 1/4
- cup shredded or chopped fresh basil leaves
- 8
- thin slices (about 1/2 ounce each) provolone cheese
To Make:
- 1Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. If beef roast comes in netting or is tied, do not remove. Sprinkle beef with Italian seasoning, salt and garlic pepper. Cook beef in skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
- 2Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place onion in cooker. Top with beef. Pour dressing over beef and onion.
- 3Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours.
- 4Place beef on cutting board; remove netting or strings. Cut or shred beef into small pieces. Return beef to cooker. To serve, spread cut sides of buns with tomato spread; sprinkle with basil. Layer beef, onion mixture and cheese in buns.
Instead of sun-dried tomato spread, spread the buns with basil pesto or pesto mayo. Just omit the chopped fresh basil. Any sturdy bun, or a baguette sliced lengthwise, works well with this recipe.
Coleslaw, a marinated vegetable salad or pasta salad from the deli is a great choice to serve with these sandwiches.
Sun-dried tomato spread can be found near the Italian foods or in the deli section of your supermarket.
Serves: 8

Editor's Comment: This interesting review of the medical literature for CFS/ME and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) discusses shared features of both illnesses that might contribute to "brain fog": e.g., reduced blood flow and neurotransmitter dysregulation. The researchers conclude: "Further research should focus on the central nervous system as a possible gateway of understanding the etiology of these disorders…"
Editor's Note: The full text of this study can be read HERE.
By L. Shanks et al.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by fatigue, sleep dysfunction, and cognitive deficits (Fukuda et al., 1994). Research surrounding cognitive functioning among patients with CFS has found difficulty with memory, attention, and information processing. A similar disorder, postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), is characterized by increased heart rate, fatigue, and mental cloudiness (Raj et al., 2009). Potential implications of cognitive deficits for patients with CFS and/or POTS are discussed, including difficulties with school and/or employment.
A few biological theories (i.e., kindling, impairments in the central nervous system, and difficulty with blood flow) have emerged as potential explanations for the cognitive deficits reported in both CFS and POTS Future research should continue to examine possible explanations for cognitive impairments in CFS and POTS, and ultimately use this information to try and reduce cognitive impairments for these patients.

Chesapeake at Denver Statistical Analysis
Major League Lacrosse enters its seventh week of action this weekend, highlighted by Saturday night's tilt between the Bayhawks and the Outlaws. Undefeated Denver enters the game coming off a huge blowout win against the previously unbeaten Hamilton Nationals, securing sole possession of first place. Chesapeake also comes in strong, after dismantling a young Lizards team, by 13 goals, in New York City last weekend.
The last time these teams met was in last final game of last season—the 2012 MLL Championship Game, in which Chesapeake came out holding the trophy. Look for Denver to do everything in their power to redeem themselves from the Championship Game loss.
· The Outlaws currently lead the league in goals (109), points (114) and shooting percentage (.384).
· Attackman Chris Bocklet leads the league in goals scored; Mundorf is fourth and Snider is fifth.
· Attackman Brendan Mundorf is second in the league in assists; Jeremy Sieverts is second in two-point goals.
· Average 18.17 goals per game, good for first in the MLL.
· Denver has won their games by an average of 8.33 goals; closest margin was a four goal win over Boston.
· 42.9% (9-21) on the Power Play.
· The Bayhawks are currently second in the league in goals (78), points (86) and fifth in shooting percentage (.272).
· Attackman Ben Rubeor is third in the league in goals; Dixon is 7
th, Westervelt 8
· Midfielder Kyle Dixon is fourth in the league in assists and first in two point goals.
· Average the second highest goals per game, 13 goals.
· Chesapeake's games have been much closer, with both of their losses being by one goal in overtime.
· 37.5% (12-32) on the Power Play.
Advantage: Denver
Denver's ability to put up goal after goal, even against great goaltenders, is something that the Bayhawks are going to have trouble keeping up with. Denver has won their games by an average of 8 goals; if Chesapeake wants to keep It close they must play close to perfect on offense .
· Denver trails only Chesapeake in goals against with 63 total and 10.5 per game.
· Denver is second in the MLL in points against, at 64 total.
· Allows teams to get the third least amount of shots off per game, 23.67, only trailing Chesapeake by one.
· 77.3% (5-22) success on penalty kills.
· Chesapeake leads the league in goals against with 54 total and 9 per game.
· Chesapeake leads the league in points against with 57 total.
· Allows teams to get the least amount of shots off per game, at 22.67.
· Chesapeake spends more time in the penalty box than another team. They have to be careful and keep their eyes on Denver's Chris Bocklet, who leads the league in Power Play goals.
· 80.0% (6-30) success on penalty kills.
Advantage: Chesapeake
The advantage goes to Chesapeake because they have let in less than an average of 10 goals a game, better than anyone else in the league. This week, however, will be their biggest test. They have yet to face an offense that even comes close to how productive Denver has been throughout the season.
· Jesse Schwartzman has played 311 minutes of the team's 360 minutes.
· Schwartzman: 6-0 record (1
st), 10.61 GAA (3
rd), 67 Saves (3
rd), .549 Save percentage (2
nd), 1 two point goal allowed.
· Chesapeake relies heavily on two-point goals, but Schwartzman has only let one two-pointer get passed him.
· Kip Turner has played 295 minutes of the team's 360 minutes.
· Turner: 3-2 record (3
rd), 8.32 GAA (1
st), 68 saves (2
nd), .624 save percentage (1
st), 1 two point goal allowed.
Advantage: Chesapeake
Arguably the top two goalies in Major League Lacrosse, but Chesapeake has the slightest advantage in the goaltending section. The difference couldn't be any closer and you could make an argument either way. There's a very good chance that this game is decided between the pipes, with offenses and defenses that are as equal as these two are, a clutch save in the fourth quarter very well could be the deciding factor.
The Chesapeake-Denver matchup couldn't be any more exciting as the defending MLL champions take on the currently undefeated Outlaw squad. With arguably the two best offenses, the two best defenses, and two very equal goaltenders, look for this game to go down to the wire. Luckily for Chesapeake, the game is not being played in Denver, where their spirited and informed crowd can cause havoc for visiting teams.
The game will be broadcast LIVE nationally on CBS Sports Network on Saturday 6/15 at 6:30p.m. EST. Don't miss it!

Public Landing is a restaurant rich in character. Its charming setting and classic upscale fare are surely enough to attract those with an appetite, but the history ingrained in the Lockport eatery's limestone walls truly set it apart.
It inhabits the first level of the historic Gaylord Building, a limestone warehouse built in 1838, that played a vital role in one of the great enterprises of the 19th century: the digging of the 96-mile-long Illinois & Michigan Canal.
Nestled between the canal, a railway and a park, the building provides a local history lesson to Public Landing diners. Murals on the walls of the building's entrance explain its significance to mid-1800s trade, while engraved stones just outside the restaurant's patio offer a glimpse into how the waterway was born. President Abraham Lincoln played a big role.
My companion and I spent a recent summer night at Public Landing. Dinner came first, followed by a relaxing walk through Lincoln Landing Park, a terrace along the canal just south of the Gaylord Building.
Inside, diners are treated to a lovely window view of the restaurant patio, park and terrace overlooking the canal. Of course, you get the sense you're dining in history: Wooden beams line the restaurant ceiling, and the limestone bricks show through to the interior.
After we were seated, a veteran server greeted us kindly before bringing out warm pretzel bread with our appetizer, the House Made Chips. The serving, tossed with Romano cheese and sea salt and flanked by a ranch dipping sauce, was both tasty and a bargain.
For our entrees, I went with the Char Broiled Pork Tenderloin, while my companion opted for the Blackened Mahi Mahi, served over a roasted red pepper coulis and complemented with zucchini and yellow squash.
The pork tenderloin was perfectly prepared – and surprisingly juicy. Three generous strips proved to be plenty of meat for the dish, accompanied by mashed potatoes and tasty sugar snap peas. It can be found under the house specialties portion of Public Landing's menu, and is definitely recommended.
As for the mahi mahi, my partner was pleased with the seafood choice, noting that the red pepper coulis added good flavor.
Other house specialties include the Roasted Pennsylvania Turkey Breast and the Vegan Stir Fry, with options to add chicken, calamari or shrimp. Over on the seafood portion of the menu are a sauteed tilapia, grilled salmon, and lobster tail.
Aged steaks and fresh homemade pasta recipes round out the menu, as do tempting desserts and a wide array of wine and craft beer.
Perhaps most unique to the menu, though, are the "Yappetizers." Adding to the character of Public Landing is a series of plates for your pooch, available for guests who want to dine with their dogs in the outdoor patio. Options include the aptly named "Quarter Hounder" burger and the "Hot Diggity Dog."
Diners are asked to make reservations in advance at Public Landing, where banquet space also is available for private parties.
