By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Emery High baseball team started their season last week with a home game against Uintah and with three games on the road in Moab. At home, they defeated the Utes 9-5 as Kyler Edgehouse pitched well and the team hit well.
On the road in a tournament at Grand High School, Emery defeated Parowan 14-7 in the Friday game and then lost 11-7 to Union before defeating Grand 16-4.
Against Uintah, Edgehouse opened on the mound and pitched three scoreless innings while the Emery offense produced eight runs. With Edgehouse on first base, AJ Mitcheson and Trevor Komar pitched the next 3.3 innings and gave up five runs but the Spartans still led 9-5. With a couple of runners on base, Edgehouse went back to the mound and got the last two batters out as the Spartans get their opening win. The way the umpires and I figure it, Edgehouse got the win and the save although officially it will not show that way.
Emery scored five runs in the first inning as 11 batters went to the plate. Emery scored three more runs in the third inning and one final run in the sixth inning. Ryne Jones had a triple, Blake Mortenson had a pair of doubles and Ryan Draper also had a double. Emery picked up 10 hits and eight walks.
In the game against Parowan, Steve Giles opened on the mound and pitched OK as he allowed three hits and two runs. A couple of errors figured into the runs scoring. Jordan Gee then pitched two innings and pitched OK as he gave up two runs in each of the two innings he pitched. Skylar Jensen pitched the last three innings and shut down Parowan with only one run and three hits in those innings.
Emery scored three runs in the second inning, one in the third, three more in the fourth inning, four in the fifth inning and three in the sixth inning. Blake Mortenson led the team with four hits in five at bats including a double while Edgehouse had three hits in five at bats including a double and a homerun. Dave Justice and Kade Jones each had two hits in the game with Justice also hitting a homerun.
Against Union, Emery got the early lead by scoring two runs in the second and four more in the third inning but Union came on strong in the fourth with five runs, four on a grand slam, and two runs in each of the fifth and sixth innings to get the win. Ryne Jones was the only batter to get multiple hits as he had three including a homerun. Steve Giles had a triple and Kade Jones, Blake Mortensen and Kyler Edgehouse each had a double.
Edgehouse was back on the mound against Grand and gave up four runs on five hits while striking out 10 batters. On offense, Emery scored four runs in the first inning, three in the second, two in the third, one in the fourth and five in the fifth. Ryne Jones hit a homerun with Jordan Gee, Kyler Edgehouse and Dave Justice each having a double.
Emery travels to Cedar City on Wednesday for a game and then will go to Montrose, Colorado for three games this weekend.

On a tense day on Capitol Hill, Ed Markey became the junior U.S. senator from Massachusetts. Markey took the oath Tuesday morning.
Massachusetts' U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the outgoing interim senator, Mo Cowan, escorted Markey into the chamber. Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath.
Markey nearly had to cast a vote on the so-called nuclear option over stalled presidential nominees. But a last-minute deal appeared to hold off the procedural showdown.
Earlier in the morning, Majority Leader Harry Reid gave Markey a less than ceremonious welcome.
"I know a lot of people want to say some real nice things about this man, but you're going to have to do it later," Reid said to laughter. "We have a lot of things to do here, and as he will learn the Senate is not always as punctual as the House."
Markey spent more than 36 years in the House before winning a special election last month to complete the term started by Secretary of State John Kerry.
To keep the seat for a full term, Markey will have to win it again next year.

It is hurting me how few photos were taken of Ewan McGregor last night. They were saving their digital cards for...I dunno, Bradley Cooper?
If Ewan McGregor and Bradley Cooper are on the same carpet, always, always go with Ewan McGregor. You can never go wrong with Ewan McGregor. Look at Ewan McGregor. It will NEVER GET BETTER than Ewan McGregor! Especially when he's being all cute and huggy with his wife Eve.

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill will continue to take time away from the team "to focus on his treatment and better manage his epilepsy," the university said Thursday in a statement, adding that defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys will again act as the Golden Gophers' interim coach until Kill "is ready to return."
PREVIOUSLY: Jerry Kill rests, retains support
Kill missed last weekend's 42-13 loss to Michigan after suffering a seizure early Saturday morning. This was Kill's fifth seizure-related episode since taking the Minnesota job following the 2010 season and second of 2013, with the previous episode occurring just after halftime of the Gophers' win against New Mexico State on Sept. 7.
"Kill will remain in very close contact with the team and his staff and provide direction and support as needed," athletic director Norwood Teague said. "Our support for Coach Kill is unwavering and we look forward to his return to full-time coaching duties.
"This is a great group of student-athletes under the guidance of one of the longest-tenured and most respected staffs in college football, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will continue to move this program forward and make us proud."
While Kill has dealt with epilepsy for more than a decade, going back to his time on the Football Championship Subdivision level, last Saturday marked the first time he had missed an entire game due to the illness.
"Norwood Teague and Coach Kill are managing this health situation, as it relates to our football program, in the most straightforward and caring manner possible," university president Eric Kaler said. "They are acting in the best interests of this University, its alumni and fans and, most importantly, the student-athletes who have placed their trust in us. I eagerly look forward to Coach Kill's return and wish him all the best."
In a statement, Kill called his time away a "difficult decision to make, but the right decision."
"Our staff has been together a long time and I have full confidence in Coach Claeys and them during my time away," he said. "Every decision that will be made will be in the best interest of the players and the program. I look forward to returning to the Minnesota sideline on a full-time basis soon."
Minnesota is 4-2 heading into Saturday's Big Ten road game at Northwestern. Minnesota went 3-9 in 2011, its first season under Kill, but reached the Meineke Car Care Bowl a season ago.

Today I heard some Sh¡tty Rihanna song ( I don't like Rihanna ) and since it is a pretty big song doesn't UMG or someone have a claim on it?

I know you said 'Select music at your risk and discretion' but would you reject a video if you notice that it has music that is copyrighted?
Thanks for reading Eric, keep up your contact with the community; we appreciate it
We do reject certain videos based on music but it's more about the quality of the editing or the humor or whatever sets the video apart.

I started this comedic series dedicating to my friend of mine, Derflinger on his interesting encounters, fails, etc while playing Uncharted 3. These videos aren't very long because they're 10-20 seconds but they're "short but sweet" type of videos. This is the first episode:

Not Quite What I Expected
"The boot is nice and comfortable, however it does run a bit large and it not exactly what I expected. It doesn't have a good quality look about it. It's not bad, just not as nice as I expected, so I'll be returning."

so cute!
"These boots are adorable. I receive a lot of compliments when I wear them--red boots demand attention! They are tough to get on; maybe they will stretch some with more wear. The first time I wore them, I was on my feet all day and did not have any issues."

Amazingly PerfectAt first I was skeptical because as I read the reviews it said it made your hair greesy, however I believe these people are mistaking the geesy feeling its supposed to be there. If you think about it when you go to the beach your hair becomes wavy, messy, air blown, and a little greesy which is what the product is supposed to do! The greesiness is not bad at all, its not a bad type or anything, very natural and not alot at all! I hate greesy hair! Anyways, my hair is naturally wavy/straight and this product made it so wavy and windblown! Also, the smell is like coconuts, which is great! Overall, I am now addicted!Feb 1, 2012KirstenHAIR TYPELight Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Awesome StuffThis spray is really great! I have coarse curly/wavy hair and it works pretty good on me. I put it on while my hair is still wet and let it air dry. The result: intensified curls and frizz-free hair!Jul 19, 2010Alex / North JerseyHAIR TYPELight Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Would Not Recommend This ProductI had heard great things about the Sally Hershberger Wave Spray and bought it with high expectations. I was very disappointed. Not only did it make my hair go very flat, but a few sprays made it so greasy that my hair looked like it was wet even after I had dried and styled it. I followed the instructions on the bottle and tried it again the next day but got the same results. I returned the product and received a full refund. I would not recommend this product.May 8, 2010Kathy

Good Replacement For John Frieda Ocean Waves SprayI've been looking for a good replacement since they discontinued the John Frieda Ocean Waves Spray a couple of years ago. I tried the Sedu Beach Beauty Spray (a recommended alternative), but didn't like it. The Sally Hershberger Wave line is sold in a lot of stores, but I've never see the wave spray before. I've used it a couple of times now and have been happy with the results. It's fairly close to the results I used to get with Ocean Waves, except it doesn't smell as good. I recommend watching the youtube video in the Product Details tab on this page, so you can see the way that Sally Hershberger intended for the spray to be used.Mar 30, 2010Stephanie / Austin, TX

We Will Never Stop Idiots From Wrong-Waying Airport Security
How best to protect America from the newly urgent threat of terrorists going the wrong way through airport security? Human tire spikes? Subway turnstiles? Boom Boom Room bouncers? Nothing. Nothing will ever completely stop idiots from wrong-waying airport security.
You are probably aware of tonight's high-level security breachtastrophy, wherein a guy walked the wrong way through a Newark Airport security checkpoint. Cue Michael Chertoff on CNN, urging the TSA to adopt new advanced scanners which can read passengers' minds to see if they are thinking about wrong-waying their way into the airport. (Or, if they object to the scanners, they can opt for a human mind-reading from a TSA psychic.)
But we will never be able to keep 100% of idiots from entering airports through the exit lanes in airport security. History bears this out:
Probably the most infamous airport wrong-waying in modern aviation history was the 1999 case of the mystery bag man. This idiot sprinted past an unarmed guard at Chicago's O'Hare Airport with a tan canvas bag, leading to the cancellation of 120 flights and the evacuation of 6,000 passengers. After an extensive manhunt neither the man nor his canvas bag was ever found.
You might argue this was pre-9/11 and that, surely, airport security has advanced since then to the point that today's wrong-waying could be considered a freak incident. You would be wrong! November 16th, 2001. A nation in shock. A man in a T-shirt and jeans. He sprinted through security, down an up escalator, and disappeared, stranding 1,000 passengers and canceling more than 600 flights. Turns out the guy was late for a Georgia-Mississippi football game and had run down the escalator to grab the camera bag he'd left in the so-called 'sterile zone'. Wow, what an idiot! (Also, what an idiotic name for a zone!)
Here is a really funny one: In 2002, two screeners fell asleep at their post at Miami International Airport. A couple of passengers wrong-wayed through security and half the airport had to be evacuated. (Sort of similar: Last month, a security checkpoint at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was left unattended for 90 minutes. No one wrong-wayed, according to surveillance footage.) The idiots in this case were the screeners.
Then there was the man who casually walked through an exit lane at an Oakland International Airport checkpoint in 2007. A law enforcement spokesperson spun out this bit of poetry to explain what had happened: "Like salmon going upstream, he was able to get up to that exit lane undetected." This idiot was graceful and stealthy.
And there are a lot more. The essential problem isn't the TSA: It's idiots. Like salmon returning to spawn, year after year, decade after decade, some idiotic airline passengers will always swim against the increasingly complex electromagnetic currents we deploy to stop them. Let's hope terrorists aren't as dumb as idiots.

Skip to comments.National Treasure it is NOT!
Posted on 11/29/2004 12:37:12 PM PST by BereanBrain
I believe National Treasure implies that Freemasons are a POSITVE influence on our country.
Anybody that knows the TRUTH about Freemasonry rather than the propaganda they wrap themselves in will NOT be takin in by the positive portrayal in this movie.
Please America, wake up, don't buy into the guys who brought "Seperation of Church/State" to America, model ISLAM as the highest truth (the Shriners), label the Holy Bible as "Furinture" in a lodge, and outlaw the name of "Jesus" in any lodge.
I know I will get flamed by 10,000 Masons and Mason supporters on this, but if you want to know the TRUTH read what was the only book given to EVERY mason until just recently - MORALS AND DOGMA by Albert Pike. it is 800 pages, but the truth about masonry can be found from their own lips.
BTW, Albert Pike is the BIG man in Masonry in the US - and he just also happened to found the KKK. Again, using religion to achieve his social purposes.
ah ignorance is bliss ain't it?
Why won't you debate on issue rather than just assisinate character?
Don't you belong on DU?
It was still a good movie.
Have fun!
Yup, Freemasonry is the enemy of Christianity.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
I dont understand. It seems, on the surface, that you have serious issues with people who work with stone and/or cement...
and what if POISON tastes GOOD?
But what does it say about the ILLUMINATI? THE BILDERBERGERS? THE NASTY LITTLE CLIQUE?
Freemason = really cheap bricklayer (c8
I thought William Bedford Forrest founded the KKK?
Check his In Forum posts. I have never seen so much negative hostility.
EVERY major Christian demonination has denouced Freemasonry.
Are they Cukoo too?
Then my enemies will never know it's poison bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa (By the way - I'm a 249th degree FreeMason, and I know where you live...)
It is a movie. Fiction. Get over it.
You're going to inject FACTS into the discussion???
You mean the Freemasons didn't really hide ten billion dollars in treasure in a giant storehouse built beneath a Manhattan cemetary? My faith in Hollywood is gone.
Or am I thinking of some other group?
I think you are generalizing a bit. Albert Pike might have been a Mason but so was George Washington, Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, Booker Washington, and Martin Luther King were Masons. Were they all part of the conspiracy?
I thought it was a great movie.
First thing I've seen come out of Hollywood in many years that made me want to crack open an American History book.
Nut alert.
So, you give up? Would you care to debate issues or just assinate character?
I think I know your game
That's it - I'm reporting YOU tot he Illuminati - and they won't F*** around.
Prepare for probes. Write a will.
What a crock.
Shouldn't this thread be renamed, "National Treasure it is ZOT!"
That was my first thought upon reading the post... We'll see I guess LOL
Break out the tinfoil hats! By the way, you're right about the freemasons...George Washington was such a jerk!
Confederate General Nathan B. Forrest, if memory serves.
Funny way to lay bricks...
All I know is they have a great history of making good jars. I use 'em all the time!
That'd be an MRE.
Don't be juvenile. One doesn't need to buy-into the Masonic Order to enjoy the movie.
But have you read "Uncommon sense" ???
I'm pretty sure Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the KKK
I personally am pretty happy about separating church and state.
At least FreeMasons pay more! When was the last time that the Churches paid anyone?
LOL! I love it when a plan comes together!
ok. i take it that you don't like george washintgon either? He was a mason. So were a lot of presidents. reading one books hardly makes you an expert. it makes you a propaganda outlet for the author. try reading "the builders" by Dr. Joseph Fort Newton.
and yes, you ARE ignorant. by definition. you know little, if nothing about freemasonry, nor of it's contributions to american society, world freedom and the cause of the common man. Visit a masonic lodge and talk to the people therein. Check out some of the lodge home pages on the internet. Read some more factual books that you have read. There are a number of masonic encyclopeidas that can enlighten (oops! masonnic term) you.
light? symbolizing knowledge! oimigwarsh! such a central tenet in an organization MUST be bad!
BTW: The bible is open during lodge for a reason, but i doubt that you'd be interested. it might challenge youru world view.
yes, there ARE benificial organizations inthe world, and you just knocked the oldest and largest one.
So, should we bring this issue up at the next lodge meeting? We'll have the Loyal Order of the Moose keep an eye on him while we decide, and get the Elks, the Eagles, and our other friends to begin putting pressure on his family, friends, co-workers etc...

By KENT PETERSENGuest Editorial
I went back to a place that has been important to me and my family all of my life. I have always considered Ferron Reservoir to be one of the most beautiful places in the state.
When I visited it the other day, I realized it has gone from being the most beautiful to the ugliest place on the mountain. It got this way through a joint effort of federal and state agencies, aided by environmental groups.
When I was a child, the reservoir was owned by the Ferron Canal and Irrigation Company. They built the reservoir in the early 1900s and used it to provide irrigation water for the crops in the valley.
The reservoir would fill with spring runoff and remain full until they opened the outlet so the water could run down to the valley. It was never as nice after the water was drained but the fishing was good so it was still a very nice place.
There was a small resort with cabins and boats for rent. It was a favorite destination for Emery, Carbon and Sanpete county residents. Its reputation spread and people from outside the area came to enjoy the facilities and the beauty of the location. The fishing was always good with some big fish being taken every summer.
The forest service oversaw all operations on the forest, including grazing, timber harvest, and recreation. One ranger was in charge with a few people hired for the summer. There was a sawmill where lumber was harvested, primarily for local consumption. A few lucky people built cabins on the mountainside above the reservoir.
This rhythm between the mountains and the people in the valley continued for a long time. The reservoir provided water for culinary use and for irrigation. The mountains provided grazing for livestock and for deer and elk. The timber and sawmill provided lumber for houses and other buildings.
The reservoir and the mountain provided recreation-fishing and camping in the summer and hunting in the fall. During the winter months the mountain rested and stored the snow pack for the next year.
Millsite Reservoir was built in the late 1960s and Ferron Reservoir was transferred to the Division of Wildlife Resources to be developed as a high quality sports fishery. They planned to leave the reservoir full year round so it would not be drained every summer. It was expected to produce some trophy sized fish. They even obtained money to improve the dam and raise the level of the reservoir. During this construction they discovered what the people of Ferron already knew, the dam was built over some natural springs so water was coming through the dam.
About this time Quail Creek Dam in Washington County failed and the state dam safety program was established. All dams in the state were inspected. Dams located upstream from communities received special attention because potential threats to downstream.
When they inspected the dam at Ferron Reservoir and saw the leaks, they decided the dam should be repaired again. DWR spent another $150,000 to rebuild the dam and when they were finished, the dam still leaked. They went through the process again, excavating in front of the dam, and doing extensive repairs. When they were finished, the dam still leaked.
The dam safety folks decided that because of these leaks, and because of its location upstream from Ferron, the dam was unsafe so they cut a large hole in the dam and reduced the level to about one third full. That is where it sits today. Instead of a beautiful mountain lake, we have a small pond surrounded by extensive dry mud flats covered with weeds. It's not much to look at but it sure is safe.
The structure of the dam has been improved and it is sound. There is little chance of failure and no need to hold the reservoir at such a low level. If the dam did fail, we might not be aware of it for several days. The flood would go down Ferron Creek, through isolated canyons, until being absorbed by Millsite Reservoir. The maximum impact would be to increase the level of Millsite a few inches.
To the south of the almost empty reservoir is a hillside covered with dead trees. The trees were killed by bark beetles several years ago, as were the trees on thousands of acres on the Manti-LaSal forest, and most other forests in Utah. The forest service tried to issue a timber sale so the dead trees could be harvested and the area replanted.
An environmental group, Forest Guardians, protested and filed lawsuits to prevent the harvest. They were successful in stopping the sale and were able to keep all sales in the state tied up in court until the dead trees no longer have any value.
Ferron Reservoir area is only one small area in the thousands of acres in the state now covered with dead trees. It would take an extremely smooth talking environmentalist to convince me that these dead trees are an improvement over a green living forest.
We are now left with a mountain covered with dead trees which in addition to being ugly are an extreme fire hazard. Our grandchildren will be looking at the same dead trees. They will be asking themselves why we did not take care of them when the disaster happened. If the trees had been harvested, a regrowth of the forest would be underway by now.
Remember the old resort at the reservoir? It has gone into bankruptcy, the cabins are being removed, the old lodge is being torn down, and the area is to be reclaimed. There are rumors that since the lodge was built many years ago, it contains asbestos, so now the EPA may be involved. Removal will be extremely expensive so the remnants may be there for a long time, maybe forever.
Wouldn't it be nice if this one time our "resource management agencies" and environmental groups would work together with the local people, using common sense, and let Ferron Reservoir regain its place on the list of beautiful places? Replace the gap in the dam and let the reservoir be full year round, remove all the dead trees, clean up the old resort, and make things right again. Please.

TUPELO – After five years as priest at St. James Catholic Church, Rev. Tom Lalor will pack up his study once again to assume his new post in Vicksburg at the end of January.
"At 72 years of age, I'm still well able to keep up the pace," he said. "However, it was quite a surprise when I got the news. It shocked my congregation."
Lalor said he was assigned to his St. Paul parish of Vicksburg by Bishop Joseph Latino of the Diocese of Jackson. His new parish includes two Catholic schools, and Lolar said his background in education made him an appealing choice for the parish's personnel board.
"Very few priests have any education experience, but I have a very good understanding of Catholic schools," he said. "I won't be teaching, but I will serve on the school board."
Lolar said he will remember Tupelo fondly as a progressive place.
"Tupelo has an extraordinary ability to be self-critical, to examine its problems and solve them in a reasonable way," he said. "That's especially true for the faith community. I've been able to work, pray, break bread, and worship alongside other pastors in Tupelo."
His favorite part of his service at St. James has been the day to day duties of the priesthood. Lalor said he gets to take part in all aspects of his congregation's lives, in joyous occasions such as marriage or the birth of a child, as well as in the tough times of dying and grief.
"It's an honor being in the trenches of daily life with God's people," he said. "Sometimes I look out from the pulpit at my congregation and what they are doing with their lives and think 'gosh if I'm half as good as them I'm doing well.' They are searching deeply for God."
Lalor said his parting wish for his congregation is to truly be the church, to bring about the kingdom and Lord-ship of Jesus through word, worship, witness, and service.
He said he is proud of the church's Hispanic ministry and the increase of St. James' youth participation, but also the community-wide outreach to care for Tupelo's homeless.
"I came with the intention of working in a collaborative way with the parish staff to engage the young people, the community, to wash each other's feet," he said.
Lalor came to America from his native Ireland in 1966, has served Mississippi in the parishes of Biloxi, Jackson, Greenville, Natchez, Cleveland, and Tupelo, and is well acquainted with the man who will take his place, Rev. Lincoln Dall, of the St. Mary parish in Yazoo City.
"Father Dall is a very enthusiastic minister, and I'm sure he will bring to Tupelo all the energy he is known for," Lalor said. "He has a great love for the church and all churches."
In the past, it has been common for the Irish church to fill America's need for priests. Though his transfer comes unexpected, Lalor said he is used to the process.
"Irish priests were sent here to establish and maintain the church," he said. "It is the Irish way to move on and venture off to another place."

The Lotus Elise first appeared in 1996 and revolutionised small sports car design with its lightweight extruded aluminium chassis and composite body. There have been many variations, but the basic principle remain the same.
The latest updates, made in 2011, have included new headlights and tail-lights, improved aerodynamics, new alloy wheel designs and an extension of the warranty from two years to three and 36,000 miles.
The plainly named Lotus Elise (there's no derivative badging) is the base model, and gets a 1.6-litre Toyota engine with variable valve lift as well as variable valve timing. It complies with Euro 5 emissions regulations, and delivers 118lb ft of torque and 134bhp. The combination of the new engine and revised gearing has produced a 16 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions. That makes this the lowest-emitting petrol-powered sports car currently on sale. A lightweight Elise CR also uses the new 1.6-litre engine, while the car is available in base, Sport, Touring and SPort Touring trims.
The Lotus Elise S is powered by a 1.8-litre Toyota sourced engine, force fed by a Magnuson supercharger. It develops 217bhp and 184lb ft of torque, while still weighing considerably less than a tonne.

Jersey advertising coming to the NHL?
Jason Gregor
July 30 2009 12:01PM
The NHL is always looking at ways to generate more money, and don't be surprised if you see you see a NHL jerseys sporting a "Wanye's Rehab Clinic" logo in the near future.
USA Today had an interesting article describing that ads on practice and game jerseys will be reality very soon.
Read on about what it said regarding the NHL (I cut out the parts that mention the WNBA because, really, who cares):
The hunger for new revenue during the economic downturn has the NBA and NHL entertaining the once-taboo prospect of corporate sponsorships for game uniforms. Beginning this season the NBA will let teams sell ads on their practice jerseys, says deputy commissioner Adam Silver, who adds the league is continuing to explore the issue of ads on game jerseys. "We are operating a diverse business all around the world," Silver says. "(The sponsored game jersey) is a well-established practice in other countries. Ultimately, I think our fans will come to accept it." NHL chief operating officer John Collins says the league might put ads on game jerseys for the right price. The NFL's Tennessee Titans have had a small patch for a local hospital on their practice jerseys since relocating from Houston more than a decade ago, and the league put rules in place last spring to permit the activity league-wide. Five teams — the New York Jets, New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears — have taken advantage, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy says. The Jets will get more than $2 million a year from a deal with Atlantic Health that includes practice uniform patches and its name on the team's training facility, says Matthew Higgins, the team's executive vice president of business operations. McCarthy says the NFL initiative excludes certain products, including those of alcohol, tobacco and casino companies. The NHL — which pushed the envelope 30 years ago by allowing teams to sell advertising on the boards — is going high-tech to attract corporate dollars by offering marketers the chance to insert so-called "virtual" ads inside national game telecasts on NBC and Versus. These computer-generated signs, typically superimposed on the crowd, are only visible to TV viewers and not to fans at the game. "As with anything new, you weigh tradition with the commercialization of sports," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly says. "Obviously, sports are becoming more commercialized each and every year. We have that debate internally all the time. Where do you draw the line? How much is too much? You have to protect the look and feel of the game. You look at professional hockey played in Europe and there's advertising on jerseys and on the ice. You can have so much advertising on the ice that it can be distracting to players. There's a balance there."
All of you are die-hard hockey fans: if you aren't at the game you'll do almost anything to ensure you're watching at home. Do the virtual ads bother you? And I'm curious if fans would really care if there were logos on NHL jerseys.
I'm a traditionalist in many facets of the game, including how it is presented. The glowing puck pissed me off to no end. How could Americans say they couldn't see a black puck on a white ice, yet they could follow a 100 MPH fastball without a complaint?
I'd rather see them add logos to the jersey than change the size of the net, or ban fighting, or get rid of unlimited overtime in the playoffs. Those are traditions that matter to me. The introduction of third Jerseys or retro Jerseys has softened my stance on what the players wear. I would hope the sponsor logo isn't embedded in the Oiler logo, but if it is on the shoulder patch, I could care less. Although I think a warm up jersey is a better start, rather than the actual game jersey.
When my brother played for the Birmingham Bulls, they had warm up jerseys that were black on the left half and red on the right, and they had a Chevron logo on the front shoulder and on the back below the number. It is one of the coolest looking jerseys I've ever seen, but they didn't wear it in games, only in warm up.
Leagues want to make money, but will logos deface the jersey? Just because it happens in Europe doesn't mean it has to happen here. While players come and go, fans remain loyal to the jersey. Do you want that jersey plastered with "Wanye's Rehab Clinic" or "Brownlee's cure for smoking" logos?
There's enough advertising on the boards, in the terraces, during commercial breaks, on the score boards, etc. I hope this never happens.
i MIGHT be willing to let a small rexall logo slide since it's copper and blue anyway but nothing more. i won't buy another jersey if its got ads splashed all over it.
I think it is fine as long as it is only one or maybe two brands somewhere that isn't evely distracting - more than that would detract from the look of the game.
I agree that I would rather they do that than remove fighting or endless playoff OT.
I love the game and I think they have already made too many consessions as it is. I hate the instigator rule, for instance.
Watching the international games with all of their nascar looking jerseys makes me sick. It would be a total disgrace if the NHL was to sell out like that.
Do whatever to the boards and even digitally covering the fans might be ok, but DO NOT start putting ads on the jerseys. As an avid fan of International Club Soccer I hate the fact that when you wear or see a jersy being worn, the sponsors logo is hugely displayed across the chest while the actual team logo gets the top left chest. Wearing a Celtic FC shirt with CARLING on the front, those not familiar just keep asking what league Carling plays for. Plus, it changes every few years, forcing fans to keep shelling out for new shirts to keep an updated look.
I think the Hockey Jersey is damn near sacred and shouldn't be messed with. One small ad opens up Pandoras Box and before you know it, it looks like the damn Spengler Cup out there.
Given how ugly the new Oiler jerseys are (they look like practice jerseys imo), I honestly don'y care.
Just don't mess with the retros!
July 30 2009, 12:18PM
Can we as 'oilersnationers' come up with some funny albeit unfortunate combinations?
This is lame, but for example "Hemsky skiis"...There's got to be some funny combinations out there. I am throwing down the gauntlet here people!
...Penzoil Oilers?..nah, still lame.
I cut out the parts that mention the WNBA because, really, who cares
Tens of fans, surely.
You know the "FOX Puck" brought so much innovation to TV sports, using hind sight you would have to be a moron to think it wasn't a VERY innovative move by Fox AND the NHL. Football's glowing yard line, racing's live telemetry, baseball's new tracking they tried in the All Star game.
I know I am in the Canadian minority when I say that I would LOVE to see it back (with the newer much more precise technology) for replays only. It would be cool to get the speed of the puck in slow mo replay, and to see how tips change it so dramatically for goalies. I also think that with the chip in the puck there would be irrefutable evidence of crossing the goal line.
Innovation for advertising is good for bottom line, but innovation in production keeps the product fresh and cutting edge. Maybe it was overused in it's origional form, using it during live play, but innovation only comes through trial! I say I would love to see them try and be creative with it again.

I don't know how you could say with any certainty that you wouldn't buy another jersey if it had ads on it. It might dissuade you for a year or two, but years from now, if it's commonplace, would you still not every buy your son/daughter/grandperson a jersey bacause of an ad(s) that everyone then accepts as standard practice?
I'd like the jerseys to be left alone and would much rather have them just throw on a sticker on the back of their helmets instead.
Leave the advertisements to NASCAR.
That said, I would not be in favour of this. If it is inevitable, then I would like to fight it off as long as possible.
@ DanMan:
Hallelujah, brother. They are boring and plain, almost designed to be made more attractive by a giant "Blackberry" or "SunCor" logo on the arms where stripes used to be.
I would love an ON jersey design competition.
Hockey also died a little in my mind when rink board ads came in.
@ Cam:
Worst rule change ever, may have led to Steve Moore's broken neck and the general mayhem that goes for upper body checks on the ice.
It wouldn't be a big deal to me if they started putting some small ads on the shoulder and whatnot. The digital advertising overtop of the crowd on TV seems kind of sketchy to me though. I can see that being a big distraction.
Go for it (tastefully of course), at the same time let's show some Bud Light/Molson commercials on the centre ice score clock. Although it's been so long since I've actually watched a game live that maybe they're already doing that? This might be the revenue boost the Pheonix Coyotes of the hockey world need to stay afloat.
@ OvenChicken8: Couldn't agree more.

This is a great idea, PGA telecasts have something similar, it gives a whole new perspective to the game watching how those guys can manipulate the flight of the ball.
I think it was Global that had the superbowl a few years ago and they superimposed ads during the game and it dropped the US HD signal down to standard definition.
Hopefully the technology has progressed.

Don't they do this already? I noticed last year that they had glowing ads in two sections of the boards. They were a brighter contrast to the rest of the image and I found it really distracting. Advertising is all well and good but is it really that effective? When it starts to distract you from the action I think it has gone too far will ultimately have a negative impact.
"The more advertising I see, the less I want to buy." -Tom Robbins
Tom Robbins is a pimp.
That is all.
Glowing pucks, add's on jerseys (practice or game), and adds that are digitally projected over the crowd is all completely desperate and unnecessary. Lets maintain some dignity and keep some of these fundamental parts of the games entertainment value as it should be. I for one want no part of having my calgary flames, or any other nhl team for that matter, skating around looking like a bus stop billboard. The whole thing is Nothin more then a completely half asses money grab.
And by the way. only a blind idiot would ever need some digital chip to help them see the puck... replay's or otherwise. Its a black puck over a white surface...Leave that crap to the other BS sports.
I gotta say I'm with Tom Robbins on this one. I think we will know that at some point in the future it will happen but that day will be a sad, sad day.
Although Calgary Flames sponsored by Preparation H or Tampax would be worth it.

Yup, I can here it now as the team hits the ice at the beginning of each period, "Here come your Pain in the ass flames with the leaky defense!" Wow, I'll never be in Marketing....

Wow. LOL!
The Euro Jerseys dont look that bad, some clubs go overboard though. A small off-center ad is livable, say less than 5-10% of jersey space. Then meh.
The worst thing about tournaments like the Spenglar Cup is all the advertising on the jerseys. It looks rediculous, virtual adds during the game I am fine with but leave the jerseys as they are. I would rather they put adds in the ice, in areas like maybe the face off dots, or behind the nets in the area where only goalies can play the puck. The game has been too americanized, lets stop it here and not make it any more of a spectical than Bettman has already let it become.
who cares it is on there jerseys and not affecting the play... this is a non issue. If it means more revenues thats great cause then the cap goes up and the oilers arent handcuffed with bad contracts.

Yes, who needs "NEW" technology! Let those other leagues worry about better angles on a replay, why do you need more than one camera! Heck, why do we even need replays anyway! I can see it the first time! For that matter, what's with this high falootin TV stuff! Let's go back to when they used to call it while I sat around the radio! If I wanted to see pictures I would go to the game or read it the next day in the paper!
Hey Hummelj, that ROARING sound you keep hearing in your ears is technology passing you by! Congrats on getting logged onto the net by yourself!
@ freeze: That's actually just a big LCD screen in the boards AFAIK.
On Topic:
Cue jokes about how Edmonton can't bring in any elite sponsors without an overpay.

I tend to agree with this but there really isn't a negative form of advertising. If you see it, your bound to think about it, or talk about it and thats what they want.
But I would be against the advertising on uniforms.
If they put it on the jerseys, at least make it so the ones they sell to public don't have all the advertising on it.
But is having a Ford logo, a rexall logo and a Molson logo on the uniforms really that effective when it's plastered everywhere else in the building, and not to mention you probably drove to the game in an F-150, sitting in Rexall Place, and sipping on a Canadian?
@ BK: The Fox puck was a HORRIBLE idea. It's not about technology, it's about being a f*****ng idiot and not being able to see a puck.
July 30 2009, 02:03PM
I'm ok with sponsorships on jerseys, but I hope they do it like European soccer, not like European hockey.
European soccer jerseys have one sponsor and it gives a nice,m clean look. European hockey jerseys look like goddamn NASCAR jackets.
I think the best way to get more Americans interested in the game is to have more Sean Averys and JR's.
In the mid-90's when the NHL became #3, albeit briefly, in the states, we had Gretzky, Messier, Hull, Coffey, Lemieux, Ed Belfour was #$^%ing crazy, and others. Personalities are important. Bad guys are needed. Claude Lemieux, Ulf Samuelsson, Marchment. There aren't many nowadays.
I hate Phaneuf, but does that spread leaguewide?
May I propose the first Ad the Oilers should put on their Jerseys? (I hope there's room)
"Workopolis.com - Wanted: First Line Left Winger for storied NHL Franchise. Will pay well above market value. Successful candidate must be willing to relocate to small, geographically-isolated market, and deal with incredibly over-zealous fans (IE: Your garbage will be picked through thoroughly). Job may well end due to impatience of fans and applicant may receive a lifetime of booing in said market as a result. Only those with thick skin need apply.
Applicant should not expect great restaurants or really hot chicks, but will have thousands of drunk hockey-rabid men giving free advice on how to improve the power play. Must like snow. If this sounds like an opportunity for you, please contact Kevin Lowe at firstname.lastname@example.com"

Subtle, but GOLD!
A chip in the puck that digitally transmits the puck's location at all times to a receiver and sensors in the goal line that can "read" the puck would be very useful. No more debate about disallowed goals. I could see it taking a few years to work out the bugs, but that's why you test it in the AHL.
No one wants the glowing puck back, but a digital puck would be great.
Advertisement wise: I would think Ice-space and helmet space would have to come before Uniforms. I really don't like the idea of them on the uni's because you know the contract will have a clause: "All officially licensed uniforms must have the sponsors logo contained on the jersey", etc
I could see selling dressing room naming rights too: "reporting from the Dr. Pepper Player's Lounge this is Gene "Buy more Pepsi" Principe"

How about, "and the Tampax Calgary Flames begin this period with a roar from the sea of red"?
European jerseys look like a clown exploded on them. Same goes for Nascar clothing. Yuck.
How is the NHL / RBK going to sell jerseys with all that crap on them? The money they make from jersey ads will be lost in jersey sales.
Speaking from a pure fashion point of view, I think the ad logos look AWFUL on the jerseys and would be waaaay less inclined to buy new replicas if they included advertising logos on them.
Not to mention I don't want to walk around looking like a billboard. I buy the jersey to support the team and not coca cola.

Bravo dude! Much better than mine.
i dont know why everyone is acting like the nhl is some kind of sacred institution all of a sudden. it is a business that sells hockey, ad space and occasionally expansion rights. it only makes sense for them to maximize profits by doing something that has been done for years in other parts of the world. as long as the ads are done tastefully (i'm thinking english soccer vs euro hockey) it won't make much of a difference.
something tells me the NHL is going to start running huge digi-ads covering the whole "audience" in places like Phoenix and Florida to mask the massive shortfalls in attendance.
I'm not so sure about the glowing puck but I LOVED the flaming fire-streak behind the puck. I think it should have gone a step further and digitized smoke as the puck slams into the goalie's catcher glove.
Also, when I'm at Commonwealth, I never see the yellow line. Where the hell is it?

I am actually surprised it has taken this long for the topic of jersey advertising to be raised. As the end of the article Gregor links to, outside of the U.S. no one thinks of this kind of advertising as abnormal.
I would have no issues of advertising on jerseys as long as it is not intrusive on either the logo (front) or the name/number (back). If the advertisement is designed to blend in with the jersey then this can be complementary. I can easily imagine the Rexall logo on the shoulders or upper arms of the Oilers jerseys.
Could this go overboard, of course it can. But I can see a place for it, in moderation.
That ranks in top 5 all-time posts on this site for sure! LMAO!

I took my young cousin to a game last year and he actually asked me that:)

You know the "FOX Puck" brought so much innovation to TV sports, using hind sight you would have to be a moron to think it wasn't a VERY innovative move by Fox AND the NHL.
Just think, they could combine the FOX puck with this and have ads hovering over the puck. Imagine the Golden Arches hovering over the puck or even better a Big Mac.
If you're referring to this - "How about, "and the Tampax Calgary Flames begin this period with a roar from the sea of red"?
@The Menace deserves full credit for that one.

Be careful Derek Alcide can probably wipe the floor with you.
Perrey looks nice.
Back when Prison Break came out, Wentworth was doing all these interviews. I vividly remember that one reporter asked him who his dream woman was.
Wentworth basically said "Angie Harmon, because she reminds me of a sleek, sexy barracuda." I turned to my sister and was like "Yup, he is deeeefinitely not into women."
It'd be funny if Angie were the one into them this whole time though (today's blind) ROFLReplyCancel

The naruto manga was first serialized in Shonen jump in 1999. The rest was history.
Nine years later, its the flagship manga of the popular magazine.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss manga chapters that:
(1) Defined the manga
(2) Were important in catapulting its success.
(3) Embodied the manga and made it what it is.
In effect lets take a look at what drew us to start reading Naruto, and in particular, the specific chapters that proved to be defining moments for the whole manga.

Steve Acerson,a former Green River resident and 39 young women and leaders from the Elk Ridge Stake in Utah County and 23 Outward Bound Youth and leaders from various cities came to Green River on July 10. Coordinators from these groups contacted Joni Pace, Executive Director of the Community Center/Boys and Girls Club of Green River and asked if she had Service Projects that they could help with. Pace said that she is grateful for groups like these and the service that they perform for the city.
The Community Center/Boys and Girls Club has 43 youth registered in a Summer Camp Program (School of Rock) and part of the curriculum is that the youth learn about and perform service for their community. Traditionally Fridays are "Service Days" coupled with "Water Fun", where Emery County Fire Chief, Howard Burnett supplies water and ice cream for the youth after a hot day of service, however this Friday will be spent at the wave pool in Price so "Service Day' was moved to Thursday.
AmeriCorps* NCCC Team "Green 2" has been helping with the summer camp program. The "Ladies from Elk Ridge Stake", 23 Outward Bound from all across the country, nine AmeriCorps* Members and the kids from the School of Rock" were one big team today and pulled weeds, bagged garbage and cleaned up, Main Street by the Medical Center and Broadway. Pace and her staff want to say thank you to these hard working Groups and their organizations for including this city and their youth in the wonderful things that they do.

Mason City, Iowa
Marti and Bill Rodamaker smile when they remember two important days in their recent relationship with Luther. The first in September 1999 when Marti wrote to President Torgerson, congratulating him on "finally" landing at the right Lutheran college. And the second time, when Rick Torgerson came to call and invited Marti to serve of the Board of Regents. Both days were filled with pride and opportunity.
Marti Tomson Rodamaker '84, president and CEO of First Citizens National Bank of Mason City, Iowa, has served on the Luther Board of Regents since 2003 and on the board's investment committee since 2000. A second-generation president of First Citizens—an independent, family-owned banking enterprise—Marti oversees banking facilities in 10 Iowa communities and assets in excess of $800 million.
As a Regent and banker, Marti takes her fiduciary responsibility very seriously. As such, she is exceptionally proud of the recent growth of Luther's endowment. It follows naturally, Marti says, that she and Bill would direct their gift to the Sesquicentennial Fund toward the endowment, adding that they are convinced that enlightened teaching stands at the core of a liberal arts education.
"Our Luther faculty is so dedicated to their calling, so creative, and so committed to students—and they come to Luther from the finest graduate and postdoctoral programs in the nation," says Marti. "But for all of us to stay current and vibrant in our professional lives, we need funding for professional development."
"One of the many joys of being Luther's president," says Richard Torgerson, "is the reward of being able to work very closely with Regents such as Marti Tomson Rodamaker, who not only love Luther but also personally dedicate their professional expertise and remarkable God-given talents to guide and accelerate our mission."

Oracle Gets Into Social Networking
Enterprises will use Oracle Cloud Social Services to engage with their customers about social marketing, commerce, service and listening. The platform also provides enterprises with a rich social networking environment for their employees to collaborate inside the enterprise. Oracle Cloud's integrated social platform will include:Oracle offers Fusion Applications via on-premises, private cloud, public cloud or some combination of any of them. The applications offer capabilities with more than 100 modules in seven product families, including the aforementioned HCM, CRM and supply chain management. The company also introduced cloud-based application programming interfaces (APIs) for interoperability, ensuring that workloads can be moved safely between clouds. The Oracle Cloud Resource Model API, a subset of Cloud API, relies on standard HTTP methods to interact with available resources to provision machines and modify configurations. It encourages standardization across the standard building blocks of the cloud, i.e., machines, storage volumes and networks. Don't Forget the Cloud System Machines On the cloud hardware side, Oracle also launched in fall 2010 a new system that allows companies to operate a private cloud within a self-contained system. The Exalogic Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as cloud in a box, features 30 servers with 360 cores, in addition to networking and storage, married to Oracle's virtual machine (VM) technology operating in conjunction with Solaris and Linux assets. Since then, Oracle also launched the fast in-memory Exalytics analytics server in 2011 and a Cloudera-powered Big Data Hadoop Appliance earlier this year. All with work natively with Oracle databases, cloud platforms and applications in the Oracle Cloud scenario. Even as it moves aggressively into the cloud space, Oracle finds itself competing head-to-head for business dollars with IBM, which provides similar services, and smaller companies like Salesforce.com, which have centered their competitive strategy on the cloud. Microsofts increasing interest in providing cloud services for business via Azure is another area of potential concern for Oracle. Chris Preimesberger is eWEEK Editor for Features and Analysis.

National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one
of the country's leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to
parents on a broad range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens.
Based on emerging scientific study, there has been a growing scrutiny and concern about products containing Bisphenol-A (BPA) and the health threat it poses for our children. BPA is a chemical used mostly in polycarbonate plastics (PC), which are used in: baby bottles, sippy cups, sports bottles, canned food/ formula lining, and jar food lids among other things. Many researchers and scientists believe it causes a wide range of health problems, including breast and prostate cancer, infertility, diabetes and brain damage.
While the FDA contends that polycarbonate plastics are not dangerous, major retailers such as Walmart and Toys R Us are phasing out all baby bottles and other feeding products that contain BPAs. Bottle manufacturers are also taking note of parent's concern. Earlier this year, Playtex distributed one million free samples of Playtex Drop-Ins Original Nurser Systems, which are free of BPAs. It also announced that the balance of the product line will be converted to BPA-free material by year end. Even Avent, who appears to be the last hold-out, has now released a bottle that is similar to Playtex Nurser Drop-In System. While the outer shell of the bottle is still polycarbonate, the liner is polyethylene, which is a safe plastic, and keeps the liquid from touching any part of the bottle.
So how do you know if you're bottle or other feeding products have BPAs in them? What's more, how do you eliminate BPA's from other products in your home?
Check the number: Look at the recycling symbol on the bottom of your bottle or sippy cup. Polycarbonate plastic is usually marked with a 7. It might sometimes have a PC next to it indicating polycarbonate. But, not all #7's have BPAs and it's almost impossible to know which ones do and don't. Unfortunately many items don't have a recycling symbol on them which means you'll have to call the manufacturer directly and ask them, search their website or check a website such as Z Recommends http://zrecs.blogspot.com which reviews toys and infant products. In their Third Edition on BPA in Infant Care Products they have provided an exhaustive list of each manufacturer and the products that are BPA free. You can even send them a text message to find out information on a particular product.
Check the can: Most cans are lined with plastic that contains BPAs. That means that infant formula is at a high risk. When selecting a formula choose one that is in powdered form rather than liquid as liquid baby formula has some of the highest BPA levels of products tested.
The FDA contends that BPA is safe yet, as a mom, the nagging question remains; "Am I harming my child?" We all want what is best for our family and, if there are options available free of a particular chemical, most moms are saying "rather be safe than sorry."

Puzzling Play Calling by Gailey...Again
by Howard Simon
posted Nov 4 2012 12:00AM
Whenever Bills Head Coach Chan Gailey is asked about the rotation at running back, he always talks about how important it is to have two backs these days and how he doesn't want to wear one guy out with too much work.
That was not a problem during the Bills 21-9 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. In fact, Gailey didn't wear out either back as C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson had very limited roles. Rather odd when you take into account the Bills were the fourth best running team in the NFL going into the contest.
Just add this to the list of questionable decisions from Gailey. It's a list that is becoming quite long in Gailey's third season on the job.
Of the many statistics I looked at in the moments following the end of the 27
loss in Gailey's 40 games as Bills Head Coach, here is the most alarming one: The last time a Bills running back got a carry came with 8:23 left in the third quarter.
If the Bills were getting blown out you might say Gailey had to give up on the run and go solely with the passing game. The score was 14-6 when Spiller ran for six yards to the Houston 21 yard line. On the next play(third and two), Stevie Johnson dropped what would have been a first down pass and the Bills settled for a Rian Lindell field goal.
The Bills would run 17 plays on offense over the remaining quarter and a half and all 17 were called as pass plays.
Of the 27 plays run by the Bills in the second half(it was 7-6 Houston at halftime), 24 were called as pass plays and three were runs by a back. Spiller, who entered the game leading the league with a 7.3 yards per carry average, had a grand total of two carries in that second half and just six for the entire game.
How is that possible? How can the most electric player on offense and a back who is in the top five in rushing yards going back to week thirteen last season, be handed the ball a mere six times?
Same story for Fred Jackson who also rushed a total of six times. The fourth best running team in the NFL took its top two backs and gave them a combined 12 carries in a game where their deficit was never larger than 12 points.
After the game both Gailey and Ryan Fitzpatrick essentially said the Texans were doing things designed to take away the running game so the Bills passed the ball instead.
What happened to the whole idea of making a team react to what you do? Why take the strength of your offense and basically concede victory to the other team in that portion of the matchup? How about the whole "imposing your will on someone" speech that we hear from coaches and players?
Gailey said the Texans had "seven big guys in the box"(base defense as opposed to nickel or dime) versus the three receiver sets so the Bills opted to throw the ball to get them out of it.
How about trying some more "run friendly" personnel groupings like using the fullback that is on the roster or going with more two tight end sets in an effort to get more big guys of your own in the box although I thought one of the benefits of spreading the field on offense was having more room to run.
Not running the ball enough wasn't the only part of Gailey's day to second guess. The red zone play calling was curious as well.
The Bills had three possessions that advanced inside the Texans twenty yard line and they ran a total of nine plays in the red zone. Not once did Buffalo attempt a pass into the end zone.
One of those red zone possessions came just before half time and ended up with a Lindell field goal to make it 7-6. The Bills had called time out with nine seconds left and had a second down coming up at the Houston twenty yard line.
Why not take a crack at the end zone there? If nothing is there, throw it out of the end zone and you still have time for the field goal attempt. There is risk involved since the Bills were out of time outs and a sack(the Bills gave up a sack on the previous play) would have meant the clock would run out and they'd get no points but what have you got to lose?
The same can be said for the decision to kick a field goal when the Bills faced a fourth and two at the Houston four yard line earlier in the half. Just go for it and show some aggressiveness rather than take the safe, conservative route.
It wasted what was a better day for the defense. A defense that gives up an average of 32 points a game held Houston to 21 points. The Bills gave up 118 yards rushing, 58 below their season average and they held the Texans to a 36% conversion rate on third down, 11 points below the season average.
Another game and another frustrating Bills loss in yet another frustrating Bills season. Here's hoping the NHL lockout is settled very soon!
