Canucks Re-Sign Tom Sestito for Two Years
Thomas Drance
May 29 2013 11:46AM
Realistically this was Sestito's most memorable moment as a Canucks skater last season.
Tom Sestito is an okay fourth-line pugilist type. He announced today on Twitter that he's been re-signed by the Canucks for two seasons:
Couldn't be happier to announce I have signed a two year deal with the Vancouver Canucks— Tom Sestito (@TomSestito23) May 29, 2013
The Canucks have confirmed the signing, and here's a link to the Canucks.com press release.
Read past the jump for a bit more analysis.
There isn't all that much to say about Tom Sestito's Canucks tenure so far. He didn't play that often, and got buried pretty handily when he did by the underlying data (though at least some of that is the result of his starting constantly in the defensive zone). Sestito fought five times with the Canucks last season, amassing a 1-3-1 record in the face punching competition (according to hockeyfights.com). On the positive side of the ledger at least Sestito did well to limit the minor penalties he took, and wasn't a complete liability at five-on-five.
Tom Sestito doesn't really have the hands to play up the lineup, and he doesn't really have the speed to contribute on the penalty-kill (or to get to those big hits). Still if Sestito is Vancouver's fourteenth forward next season, no one should be too upset about it. By the same token, no one is confusing Tom Sestito with a Daniel Paille or a Shawn Thornton any time soon...
Jason Botchford has the terms of the deal:
Canuck sign Tom Sestito to 2-year, $1.5m deal. He does provide size to a team that acknowledges it needs to be bigger— Jason Botchford (@botchford) May 29, 2013
That's a bit of a rich contract for Sestito, and a one-way deal to boot. Aaron Volpatti got a similar type of deal from the Washington Capitals in the late Spring, but his cap-hit is 175k cheaper annually than Sestito's. Ouch.
Perhaps there's an ulterior motive to inflating Sestito's cap-hit, however. After all a 750k hit could prove easier to sneak through waivers if that's something the Canucks need to do at some point over the next couple of seasons...
While we don't know the financials, does Sestito really merit a two year deal? Would he have received a two year deal from anyone else?
I guess it depends on whether or not one or both of the years are two way deals. But the second year seems unneccesary.
May 29 2013, 11:57AM
Nothing to say about his strengths? He is (sorta surprisingly) great at breaking up plays and moving the puck to faster teammates.
Apparently it's $750k/y so even if they do end up with better players ahead of him on the roster I guess they can always bury him in the AHL to lose the cap hit.
I typically don't care that much about a depth move because the overall impact is minimal.
But after Botchford posted the financials, the contract looks even more unnecessary.
Under the new CBA, can your bury any one way deal in the minors?
Well he's big....did I mention he's big. If there's a fire drill inte Vcr end you can count of two lines beibng in the midst of it The Sedins or the 4th line including Sestito.
He is young and that counts for guy doing that job, players usually don't fill out for that position until they're little older
Since this is a team that employs Lawrence Gilman, cap wizard, I'm straining to try to find a reason for this 2yr/1 way business, but so far I haven't found it. This isn't a catastrophe by any means, but just...why? And...really?

Gilman & the Canucks aren't really any better at managing the cap than most teams.
When the cap management looked great (i.e. the 2011 cup run season) they had the right players at the right age.
Now that the core is aging and the impact prospects aren't there to fill the holes, there are many questionable cap decisions such as Luongo's contract, Ballard, Booth and possibly Burrows, Higgins, Garrison and others as they age.
Cap management is born out of having the right players at the right age. It's overrated as a skill.
Safe to say Gillis is seeing the trend. These are in demand right now, have been since Boston finals. Ottawa trade for Kassian, Edm trades for Brown. Like caman, how does that? Canucks are admitely getting younger, thank god. It's good to have a heavy weight in the lineup - just in case.
He also seems like a very popular guy in the room. Virtually every Canucks player tweeted him congrats. When he left Philly, all the Philly guys took to twitter to wish him good luck in Van. For context, not a single Canucks player took to twitter when Av was canned to wish him good luck. Or thanks for the 7 yrs. Lol.
May 29 2013, 11:50PM
Expect this trend of signing our UFA's and RFA's to continue in the next weeks. The Canucks will also resign Lapierre, probably for 1.5 mln. Because if they don't, where will they get a 4C from? And just to be clear, I think Lapierre is a great (play-off) 4th liner (and can play 3C if in a pinch) especially if he can play his type of (yapping) game.
Weise will probably get the same offer as Sestito, or perhaps 875,000 per year but with more term.
Most curious though how the negotiations with Tanev and his dad are going… ;-)

Comments: These swim great!! But really doesn't last long. In my opinion everything it can do you can also do with a 7.5" Culprit worm and that lasts longer with more colour options
From: Lourens: South Africa 5/13/14
Comments: Love the new look but only get about a dozen casts Texas rigged then lose it due to ripping. Wish it had a solid spot even very small to rig on. Swims excellent and has a dramatic slow fall when jigging but took me half a pack to get it right and keep it on the hook for a few casts.
From: Sean: Wichita, Kansas, USA
Comments: yeah these rip but only after a few fish, and most are big. Been fishing these bad boys for a month now and I'm getting 25+ fish per bag. Can't complain about that. There's a reason there are 7 to a pack, and mend-it works as well. These catch anything from dinks to pigs. My biggest so far was 5-12.
Try these, you won't be sorry.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: These rip VERY easily when thrown on a trig or c-rig
From: Adam: IL
Comments: I love all the Rage Tail products but these rip extremely easy in the center when T-Rigged. They're great for rage rigging but rip ridiculas easy T-Rigged due to the ribs and thin center.
From: Mike: Stroudsburg, PA

Therefore, it seems to me that the Juubi actually has that eye (and probably has something to do with the Sharingan/Rinnegan lineage/ the So6P/Uchiha legacy).
This fits with what we know about the clans with notable links to the Rikudou (Uchiha/Senju/Uzumaki/Hyuga). Prior to the Uchiha, no ninja clan or ninja power seems to emphasize Yin energies to the extent that the Sharingan does; where is the precedent to the exceptional Spiritual Energies of the Uchiha Clan, even if they received these from the Rikudou? It's not hard to imagine the Rikudou came from a clan similar to the Senju/Uzumaki, and merely had a very powerful body capable of becoming the Juubi Jinchuuriki. However, as no one besides the Rikudou and Uchiha possessed powerful Spiritual Powers (even the Byakugan lacks significant Yin powers, who ever heard of a Byakugan-based Genjutsu?), I would gladly accept the Juubi being the original source of the Rinnegan.
Perhaps, originally, the only Jutsu were sealing techniques, which the Rikudou's clan possessed. Upon defeating the Juubi and sealing it within himself, the Rikudou awakened the Juubi's Rinnegan (granting him power over Creation / life+death, same as the Juubi). Thus, he understood the nature of chakra/the universe, and passed that down as ninjutsu to humanity. Upon separating the power of the Juubi into the nine Bijuu, he also passed the Juubi's spiritual energies/ doujutsu on to his firstborn son, the Elder Brother / Uchiha forefather.

The Tupelo Convention & Visitors Bureau and its board members are concerned about pedestrian safety on a section of North Gloster Street. Read the full story in today's paper (click here).
The half-mile stretch north of McCullough Boulevard and south of Lakeshire Drive has drawn criticism for its congestion and perceived safety concerns.
The Tupelo CVB is involved because that stretch of road is heavily populated by hotels and thus visitors.
Board members suggested a traffic light, crosswalk, elevated pedestrian bridge or something else to improve pedestrian safety.
What do you think? Is there a safety problem for pedestrians in that area?

On Aug. 12 a one car rollover occurred on I-70 when a male driver went to sleep behind the wheel. He received bumps and bruises but was OK at the scene of the accident. The Utah Highway patrol had one lane of traffic closed for cleanup of the accident when another accident happened at the scene.
A semi-truck and a motorcycle had made the lane change to the inside lane of traffic when the motorcycle apparently slowed down to observe the previous accident. The motorcycle was then bumped by the semi-truck. The motorcycle laid on its side, slid down the freeway and the driver of the motorcycle was run over by the right tire of the truck.
The motorcycle driver, Pennsylvania resident Robert L. Whitehall, 60, was pronounced dead at the scene. The truck driver, Ronald D. Parson, 48, of Idaho, was shaken, but did not suffer any physical injuries. A co-driver was also in the truck and was uninjured. The vehicles were heading east towards Green River at the time of the accident.

NOTE: just dont put this product directly onto your scalp, because it can become very hard to completely wash it off, and therefore, this might clog your roots (hair doesnt grow, or dandruff, etc)
But it's one of the most wonderful product ever !!!

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) is the primary organization responsible for international student data collection. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) sets governmental policies regarding data collection. HESA collects data from individual universities and colleges on an annual basis. For purposes of collection, students are defined by their country of domicile, i.e., "the student's permanent or home address prior to entry to the programme of study." International students are those who are not UK-domiciled. Based on this current methodology, HESA data is available from 2002-2003 onward. Data are collected on: gender; field of study; academic level; name of host institution attended; degree/qualification/credential awarded; nationality and sources of student financial support (although not an obligatory field so gaps remain).

Westfield State University trustees are taking a close look at the school's travel and credit card policies. That's as the board waits for a report about spending by Westfield State's controversial – and now retired – president, Evan Dobelle.
The subject was part of a trustee meeting last week.
Also last week, the university announced the state was releasing a $2 million grant to help build a new science center. Massachusetts' higher education commissioner, Richard Freeland, had held-up that money over concerns about Dobelle's expenses.
Robert Kersting is a professor at the school. He sits who sits on the steering committee for the science project.
"It allows us to stay on track for what we were originally planning," Kersting says. "Most people are probably simultaneously thrilled and relieved that we're past that bump in the road."
The university says construction of the science center is scheduled to begin next fall.
New England Public Radio's Brianda Reyes reported this story.

Pros: Outstanding sound at a price that is very attractive in the realm of high end headphones
Cons: Requires a very powerful partnering amp to get the best out of them.
Now that I have spent time comparing the HE-6, LCD-2, Edition 10, T1, and HD800, I thought the time was right to put down a few thoughts on the HE-6, which are, when properly amped, a TERRIFIC headphone.
The HE-6 have incredibly transparency, and a very wide-bandwidth delivery that is remarkably even and smooth. While they have just a slightly lively treble, this is more an elevation overall than a single peak, and their treble performance sets them apart from the HD800 and Edition 10, which have more issues in the treble. The bass is just slightly less in weight and quality than the LCD-2, but nonetheless outstanding. And the mids are just unbelievably transparent.
While the HE-6 can sound phenomenal, they won't unless they have a lot of power. The best they ever sounded to me was hooked up to the speaker outputs of my Leben CS300XS, which is a 15 wpc amp. There is no doubt that the HE-6 like a good strong amp. But given good, plentiful power, they well deliver an amazing sonic performance for the money.
To elaborate on the amplification story - the fairly low efficiency really does mean a pretty powerful amp is needed to make them come alive. The WA6 was insufficient. The Leben CS300XS was better (from its headphone out), but the Decware Mini-Torri was even better (since using its headphone out is basically 100% the same as using its speaker outs). Via the Decware, the HE-6 can really be allowed to swing, and swing they do. I later tried driving the HE-6 from the SPEAKER outs of the Leben, and this was better still. This gave the HE-6 a better sense of ease and dynamics.
Even later, I used a vintage Marantz 75 wpc Receiver for the HE-6, and this was also excellent. Much better than any of my other headphone amps except the Leben and Decware, which are really speaker amps themselves. A speaker amp really is the best choice for the HE-6, and you can get a pretty good one without spending huge amounts of money.
I spent some VERY enjoyable time with the HE-6 played via the Fisher KX-100. For those unfamiliar, the KX-100 is a 60's vintage all tube integrated amp using 7868 pentode power tubes in a push-pull, transformer coupled configuration, and with speakers rated about 25 wpc. The headphone Jack is driven off the output transformer, presumably using a 32 ohm secondary winding, but I am not sure of that.The Fisher is has a classic tube sound - warm, romantic, and lush, with a plump bass and a slightly shelved down treble, with beautiful sounding mids. This works better with some headphones than others, but it was awesome with the HE-6, which are, on their own, very neutral, with just a slight treble tilt. The combination was just gorgeous - surely not the most neutral sound there is, but wonderful to listen to.Power wise it was fine. On the Fisher's own scale of 1-10, I got my normal listening level at 6.5, which is where I typically listen to speakers on the Fisher (which I use primarily as a speaker amp). The results were highly enjoyable.
I also tried the Meier Concerto. At reasonable levels, the Concerto sounded very, very good with the HE-6. I also spent some time today with the HE-6 and an inexpensive Class D speaker/headphone amp, which outputs 10W into 8 ohms, and the Concerto was so much better with the HE-6 that it was almost laughable. I stopped listening to the Class D amp after about 20 minutes. It really did not sound good, and just slightly above my normal listening levels, it started to distort badly.
For whatever reason, the Concerto does not ever distort. I get to full rotation of the volume control, in high gain mode, and there is no distortion or clipping, and that is a level quite a bit louder than I would normally listen at, although I know from experience that it is a lower level than some people like (although those people are taking chances with hearing damage).
So since there was not a problem with clipping or distortion, I tried to listen for other more subtle signs of stress, which at my normal listening levels, I really could not detect. Overall the sound was quite engaging, smooth, and nicely nuanced. I got nice punch in the bass, and very natural mids, with less glare in the treble than I have heard with some other amps that I know were straining. The treble was actually really nice in combination.
I definitely would not recommend that people who own the HE-6 buy a Concerto to use as the main amp for them, as there is no doubt a limit to the Concerto's ability to drive them. But if your main amp was already a Concerto, and you wanted to get HE-6's with the idea of using them with the Concerto to drive them at least for some not insignificant period of time, I wouldn't hold back. The combination was certainly serviceable - it was actually quite enjoyable, within its volume limitations. But the HE-6 definitely sound much better with more power than this, and will reward the listener with even better sound with more power.
So as you can see, while I preferred some really powerful amps, the HE-6 are a superb headphone even driven by some pretty "normal" headphone amps. And how much power you really need is also highly dependent on what kind of listening levels you want to achieve. I realized once again when a friend of mine was over that I listen to headphones at much lower levels than many people do. The last two people who have come over here to check out headphones listened at levels I personally couldn't stand. So how much power you need absolutely depends on how much volume you're going to demand.
Of all of the current production high-end headphones I own, only the LCD-2 slightly nudges out the HE-6 overall for me, although for someone who likes a little more treble energy, I am certain they would prefer the HE-6. And for me the HE-6 are still terrifically good, when powered right. An impressive headphone.
It's funny - when I got the Beyer T1's, I was thrilled - they were so much better than any of the other headphones I owned. But then along came the LCD-2, and now the HE-6, and my T1's are not getting very much head time. The HE-6 are better than the T1, IMO. They are more open sounding, and seem to put less in between the music and the listener than the T1, which is a good thing.
But in any case, the HE-6 have been really impressive. With the right amp, they have are highly transparent, have great dynamic capability, and a very wideband neutrality. I can tell they will be a staple of my collection for a long time to come.

Great Curl, But Didn't Last Long With My Hair (need To Experiment Still!)I have long, thin, straight hair that doesn't hold curls well unless I have a hairdresser do it.
I purchased the caruso 30 molecular ion steam hairsetter and was excited to see what it would do. It took me about 12 minutes to put all of the curlers in the first time. I had a hard time for a couple of them that got caught in my hair but I think I'll get better with practice. I thought I would be annoyed with having to put each curler on the steamer but it didn't bother me at all. The ticking sound on the ion setting was loud at first but then I got used to it. I only used about 10 curlers on my long hair. This is something I'll change next time. I think I'll use smaller amounts of hair per curler/take the time to do it. I used all of the petite curlers and several of the next size.
While putting on my makeup and picking out my outfit I let the curlers set for 15 minutes. I used the hair dryer for about 1 minute, hoping to set the curl more. I used no product before putting in the curls or while I took them out. As I took them out, my hair was SUPER curly. Really pretty, soft, bouncy. Loved it. My husband was pretty excited to. I flipped my head over, and used my fingers to piece the curls the way I wanted. Then I sprayed my hair quite a bit with hair spray. I'm not sure if the spray weighed my curls down or not, but I feel like I absolutely need hair spray.
About an hour after taking the rollers out, my hair started to sag a little. After about 2 hours by hair was wavy (I still liked it) but it just wasn't curly anymore. The next morning when I woke up, it had pretty dull waves.
I am going to experiment with these curlers. This is a great product, but it definitely didn't keep the curl for days. I am going to purchase some herbal essences body envy volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I think I'll also buy a mousse that is supposed to help curls (put on before I dry my hair). Then I'll use more rollers this time and try using a little less hair spray. We'll see how that works! I really like that these curlers don't dry out/kill my hair like my straight iron does. I always end up burning myself when I use a curling iron!Mar 7, 2012KaleighHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Skeptic Turned Believer!I got to say, I was a little skeptical of this product being brought up with the belief that afro/black hair and steam just DO NOT mix. After reading reviews from other girls of colours, however, I decided to take the plunge and just go ahead and buy the set (it's was one of the more inexpensive roller sets on this site and I'll admit it-I'm cheap!).
Opening the package, there's a very usual instruction manual as well as a Caruso bag that I keep all my rollers in. And there are plenty of rollers (30 total)! Then there's the steamer itself. I noticed one thing right away while messing with the product: the ionic setting makes a loud ticking noise that's irritating initially but it's just background noise after a while. Eager to try it out (and find out if I have to send it back), I started pulling random rollers out of their bags and began to put them in my hair (no products). I couldn't believe I was putting a wet roller into my hair, but I kept faith. After they were all in, I waited about 20 minutes (while browsing the internet), then ran a blow dryer over my head for about a minute before hitting the cool switch and letting cool air blow over my head for 30 seconds (this is instructions in the manual).
Now. The big moment of truth. Would my hair become the frizzball I was imagining in my head or would this product actually work? I undid the first roller. bing!, my hair bounced right back to the curl. I undid another bing! same result. I finally undid my entire head and couldn't believe what I was seeing in the mirror. My hair, in beautiful, glossy, soft curls. Not a frizz in sight! And as I was undoing them I couldn't HELP but to feel how soft and moist (I guess is the word for it) my hair felt! It felt sooo good! It still feels good (I just took the rollers out! lol). It hasn't felt this good and healthy in, I don't even know when. And the curls! They make me feel like a princess! :)
I can't believe this product! It's like a dream come true. Beautiful curls and healthy feeling hair to boast. Ladies, trust me, this is well worth the money (it feels like a steal!) I am so happy with this product, that I wrote a review for it IMMEDIATELY after using it(and I never write reviews for folica!) :)

ClipsI still have the original product from when it first came out.I liked it so well that I got another set.The original called for salt.The second one NO. Nor did second one have the facial option. Primarilly I purchaced #2 as the clips would no longer stay on the rollers. When second one started the same problem I just packed it away and forgot about it. Watching a ad on tv about these new Top stylers brought them back to mind as they did everything the TOP STYLER does.#1's won't heat the water anymore though #2 does.The model # is C1-914.Several the foam has deteriated on the rollers,also I no longer have any directions for either. Do you have any advise? what size rollers should I purchace (C1-914) And have you had any complaints on the newer models of clips stretching out? Thanking you in advance for any help on this issue. I have a lot of females in my family not to mention friends. I would like them to try mine before purchacinf this new TOP STYLER. Sincerely, Carol Ferguson.

Might Be DefectiveDoes an okay job of curling, I do like the softness of the curls. Only down side, when I switch it to the the ionic function there's a continuous load clicking noise that sounds like its going to explode.

The Great Caruso!I have been using Caruso steam rollers for many, many, many years and continue to use them in my senior years. I find that Caruso steam rollers keep my baby fine,. extremely fine, absolutely no body hair manageable longer than regular rollers or any other equipment that I have tried. It is very quick to use, especially if you're rushing getting ready to go to work, school, or anywhere. It is virtually a "Doing Your Hair for Dummies" product.

Fantastic ProductI have been using this for over15 years! There were hair styles over these past years that did not exactly lend themselves to rollers - but I have kept the steam hair setter around and time and again I come back to it. My hair is long now and I am falling in love with it all over again. I can go days without resetting - the curl stays that long. And it keeps my hair healthy as there is no harsh heat applied directly to the hair shaft.
I suggest letting the rollers cool off in your hair before removing them. This will help "set" the curl. And let the curls cool after you take the rollers out before you comb through your hair. This will also help the curl stay.
I have fine, very straight hair. It does not easily hold a curl as it has no natural body. But with the right product (and very little of it) and the steam rollers, I can get wonderful curl and body that lasts.
I am so glad the product is still available - I have gone through two steamers and over time I have ordered more of the large rollers and roller foams to replace worn out ones. I am about to order yet more foams -Jan 4, 2012Kathy I. / United StatesHAIR TYPEGrey / Fine or Thin Hair

So Disappointed!I was excited about this. I held out for a long time because I had never used rollers, but when there was a sale I jumped on it and couldn't wait because I figured this would save a lot of time curling my long, thick hair. Using a curling iron it takes me upwards of 40ish minutes, so I figured if I could pop these in and do my make up it would be perfect except.....
it did not hold a curl for more than an hour!! Everyone was posting about how they could go days and the curl they got would hold... i don't know what i did wrong, but mine were a frumpy, dull looking mess after an hour. i also recommend practicing a lot because with long hair, my arms were getting very tired holding my hair up and rolling down and i have layers so it was difficult to tuck the ends it which was very frustrating.
maybe i'm just too used to using a curling iron.Dec 2, 2011Jessica / SeattleHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Never Failed Me Yet.I bought my first Caruso in the 80's when you had to add salt to the steamer for it to work! A friend gave me her's as she didn't like it. I have very long, very curly red hair (think of the girls on Riverdance!) I have to blow dry to straighten it first, then use the rollers. My hairdresser once asked me what I was doing because I had no damage, split ends, etc. I'm on my third unit which isn't bad for close to 30 years. I also use the InStyler, so I don't use the rollers every day. I think thick hair might be a problem holding the curl but I've never had a problem as my hair is medium-thin. The rollers have to be replaced (but not often) as the foam will eventually begin to deteriorate.Nov 8, 2011Carol / San Bernardino CAHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Immediate release
A local woman helps our heroes by raising £10,000 in one night
A Chesterfield woman managed to raise over £10,000 in one night for the Help for Heroes charity, which supports injured soldiers serving in Afghanistan.
The charity ball was held on 4th May 2012 at Casa Hotel by local resident, Lynn Jones, who chose Help for Heroes because her best friend's husband is a Colour Sergeant in the Mercian Regiment and has served two tours in Afghanistan.
"I visited Casa for a friend's wedding and knew it was the ideal venue for the charity ball. I contacted local and national businesses for auction and raffle prizes so we could make the event as memorable as possible and it really paid off. I never imagined we'd raise so much for Help for Heroes, which is such a worthy cause, and I'm over the moon."
The impressive prizes included: Hire of a private villa with a pool in Cyprus, an Apple iMac, an overnight stay at the Devonshire Arms Bolton Abbey with the use of an Audi R8, hire of an apartment in Spain and a Mercedes SLK for one weekend.
Stuart Downham, Operations Director at Casa, said: "Congratulations to Lynn on raising such an impressive amount for charity. It was well worth all of the hard work and we were honoured that Lynn chose Casa to host the event."
Lynn would like to thank everyone who helped organise the event and to all the people who attended and helped raise such a fantastic amount.

The nearby stairway is open (no door) and the smell will drift up to the other floors, and can be very pungent at times. The home is 3 months old and said to have past an air test. The city is telling me the smell is coming from the storm sewer and the gas is most likely seeping in from the drain tile around the foundation, and a trap can be installed by the street to prevent the smell. The sewer system separates storm and sanitary, however; some septic systems are tied into the storm, and I�m told that the water draining into the storm from septic systems �should be clean�.
: When it rains hard the smell seems to lesson, and when it has been dry for several days the smell seems to be minimal.
: Also the only drain in the basement is by the furnace and always has water in it.
: Does the trap sound like a reasonable solution?
: Any other Ideas?
: Thank you in advance,

RELATED: 2013 USTA.com Year in Review home
By Sally Milano, USTA.com
For 34 years, the USTA Pro Circuit has been going strong, bringing pro tennis to local communities throughout the country and giving fans from California to New York and Texas to Michigan the chance to see rising young tennis stars in action and world-class tennis in their own backyards.
This year was no exception, as records were set, Grand Slam wild cards were awarded and exceptional player performances were on display at 89 tournaments held across the country.
On the men's circuit, American men won more than half of the 47 USTA Pro Circuit tournaments on the 2013 calendar, picking up 29 total titles.
Bobby Reynolds became the record holder for most overall titles won with 31 after he captured the Napa, Calif., doubles championship, which also put him in second place all-time with 22 Circuit doubles wins. Michael Russell remains at the top of the list for most singles titles won with 24, adding to his total this year after claiming the singles championship in Charlottesville, Va.
Former college star Bradley Klahn had a big year on the USTA Pro Circuit in 2013, finishing as the prize money leader with more than $50,000 earned, followed by fellow American Alex Kuznetsov. Klahn is the first to break the $50,000 mark in prize money earned since Robert Kendrick and Kevin Kim achieved the feat in 2008.
Jean-Yves Aubone won four doubles titles in 2013, the most of any player. Eight players – seven of them Americans – won two singles championships, which was the most number of singles titles any one player took home this season.
On the women's side, U.S. women also performed well in 2013, claiming more titles than any other country with 19.
Shelby Rogers had one of the strongest years of any player, winning three titles and leading all other women in prize money earnings with more than $36,000.
Alexandra Mueller and Allie Will individually won five doubles titles in 2013, tied for the most of any player. In addition to Rogers, Anna Tatishvili and Mariana Duque-Marino won three singles championships in 2013, setting up a three-way tie for the most singles titles won on the women's circuit.
For the second consecutive year, the USTA Pro Circuit was utilized to determine which American players would receive wild cards into Roland Garros and the US Open. Rogers and Kuznetsov claimed the French Open wild cards for earning the most WTA and ATP points in the Har-Tru USTA Pro Circuit Wild Card Challenge, the French Open wild-card event, while Rogers and Klahn received US Open wild cards for finishing in first place in the US Open wild-card playoff.
All men's Challenger tournaments and several women's events were streamed live on USTA.com, giving fans at home the chance to watch their favorite players compete. Stay tuned to USTA.com for more information about live streaming of USTA Pro Circuit tournaments in 2014.

Skip to comments.How the West Was Lost
Posted on 10/16/2007 4:21:51 AM PDT by T.L.Sink
It's Europe's doom that Walter Lacqueur explores in this clearly written book. He doesn't say anything others have not said but he says it better. There are three threats to Europe's future. The first comes from demographic decline. Europeans are not reproducing. The second threat comes from the presence of a growing immigrant population, a large part of which is not interested in integration. As the population ages, the need for immigrant labor increases, and the sources of such labor are North Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and Bangladesh. When I recently drove to Antwerp from the South of France, I thought I had arrived in Casablanca. There are parts of Brussels where the police are enjoined not to be seen eating or drinking during Ramadan. Similar accomodations are occuring all over Europe. The third threat comes from the existence of the welfare state and the welfare state mentality. The right of French train drivers to retire on full pension at age 50 is probably more important to them than the right of free speech. Laqueur sees Europe declining into a kind of genteel theme park - if it's lucky. There might be a real struggle for power as the immigrants and their descendants become numerically strong enough to take on the native population. One important question is why Europeans have abjectly surrendered to the dishonest nostrums of multiculturalism. Why, for example, can a couple of Dutch children be told by their teacher to remove the Dutch flag from their schoolbags because it might offend children of Moroccan descent? Why do German courts rule that beating women is a religious right for Turks?See signs for passport holders written in Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, and Hindu scripts - presumably for the benefit of British citizens who can't read the Latin alphabet?
(Excerpt) Read more at amconmag.com ...
Buchanan had the same thesis a few years ago. I read his book (well written btw).
As Europe becomes more and more Islamisized (if that's a word) some thought had better be given to the art that is one of the legacies of western civilization. I would think that after a while there will probably be a movement to denounce the statues and paintings by Michelangelo, the religious panel paintings of Giotto, Vermeer etc, particularly as Europe elects more muslims to its respective governments. The early art of western civilization will be looked upon as corruption much as the taliban looked upon then destroyed the statues of Buddha in Afghanistan. Tolerance is not in the makeup of the mohammedans.
Kind of like that old Richard Pryor bit: "They ain't as many of y'all as there used to be. Y'all quit f***in'?!?!?"
We in the U S of A will have to dump our Spanish-speaking illegals to make room for all the European refugees of the VERY NEAR future. A choice will have to be made, and I for one choose to preserve our European heritage over a bunch of trespassers.
I dunno if it will even be possible to save Europe's art treasures. Paintings, maybe—but not anything that isn't VEERY portable.
I'll have to pick that one up.
Here's an experiment I'd like to see. Take 100 liberals at random. Tell them that Christians have been protesting nudity and sexuality in great works of art and have been demanding that they be hidden from public view. Then, tell another 100 liberals that Muslims are offended by the same art works.
My guess is that there would be a different reaction each time. The libs would be adamant that the Christians had no right to object to art, and they'd denounce the "Bible thumpers" for their intolerance. But you'd get a different reaction regarding the Muslims. Some libs would support the art, but they'd be careful to not offend the Muslims. There'd be no talk of intolerant "Koran thumpers". They'd express hope that our Muslim friends would eventually understand our ideas of art and call the whole dispute an unfortunate misunderstanding. Other libs, though, would likely support banning the art, or at least creating special secluded areas in museums where people can only view such art by making a deliberate effort, so as to protect the Muslims from inadvertently being "shocked" by it during a casual visit to the art gallery.
Here's a great website that keeps up with news on the Islamic tide in Europe:
He concludes that Europe will slowly fall away into insignificance.
I would argue that they are well on their way right now.
Their military can't protect their own countries, their per capita income is not so great (France has the same per capita income as Mississippi - 46th in the US) and here are large areas of Muslim ghettos where non-Muslims dare not go. Their countries are more socialist that capitalist. Some 2% of Europe is Christian and most people are secular.
They have been swirling down the toilet for decades and the flush will be complete sooner rather than later.
I have lived in a Muslim country; as Europe and it's culture is eclipsed, the Western world will pass into a new dark age. The "accomodations" being made in Europe are but the first signs of this change, but I believe that if we look closely at what's happening in Britain and the U.S. we see the nascent beginnings of this emerging dark age. Tell-tale signs are such things as the emergence of the surveillance/police state, abandonnment of the criminal standard, "guilty until proven innocent", plummeting birth rates, and ever increasing government control of the population's activities, habits and behavior. These strictures will result in a percipitous decline in both creativity and productivity and an end to the ownership society of wealth opportunity. The great bulk of the population will be reduced to something akin to involontary servitude and serfdom a la the retrograde no-growth economies of Cuba and now, Venzuela. Starvation, malnutrition, disease and death en masse will follow, but will be hardly noticed as the Government controlled MSM outlets focus instead on the steady drumbeat of propaganda sugar coated with the endless stream of feel good, pornographic images of the 24 hour party. To be sure of course, there will be the Big "D" Democracy, a steady stream of pointless elections for which the outcome is predetermined, much like what we're seeing unfold in '08. Thus, the West will pass, not with a bang but a wimper. All that truly remains is to write it's epitaph.
This is the result of self-hatred coming out of World War I and II and decoloniation, fed by the mentality that says abortion and birth control are a-okay.
Norway, for example, has had 400,000 legal abortions, and also has 400,000 turd world immigrants. Not a coincidence.
A wise Mexican politician once noted with respect to our southwestern border states that "to populate is to govern". If Europeans and Americans want to govern the future, they'll have to focus on multiplying their children, not their bank accounts.
Its amazing that believers in evolution, such as modern liberals, can fail to heed its simplest and most important lesson about the necessity of reproductive success.
Even in the most highly secularized lands like Belgium, 15-20% of the people attend Church every week.
ping to myself
Mark Steyn has a better handle on the problems of secularism.
No way it's lucky. The muslims will have no interest in supporting 55 year old European retirees. There will be a mass exodus out of Europe by retirees to the US, Canada, Australia and NZ when the retirement benefits are cut. The smart ones will have their money out long before-hand because the muslims will quickly figure out how to use the mechanisms of state control to keep the assets in Europe.
I've already taken my boy to England. We'll see Paris and Germany, Italy and Greece in the next few years. I want him to see where modern civilization emerged before it is gone. In the not too distant future, those will be dangerous vacations for Christians. Not too long after that, we will be wondering why we didn't move the art in the Louvre out of France before the muslims blew it up.
"...as Europe and its culture is eclipsed, the Western world will pass into a new dark age..."
We're already there, IMO.
In the case of Germany, the problem is self-inflicted with the importation of guest workers, primarily from Turkey, who have never gone home.
You're right. Demography is destiny. When Europe was at its peak of power, its population in proportion to that of the rest of the world was much larger than it is today. The Viking conquests which reached as far as N. America, Sicily, and Russia, were apparently connected with a population explosion in Scandinavia resulting from the perfectly natural "global warming" of the early Medieval Warming Period. Now Third World populations are booming, largely because of improved sanitation, health care, and food sources—all introduced by Western colonialists.
This was recent news out of Germany
Iranian-Born German Soccer Player Refuses to Play Israel
"The team has accepted his request, angering Germany's Jewish lobby." Why did they accept his request? Why didn't they tell him that accepting a spot on the German national team involved doing what the team does? Of course, he himself is threatened: this is Iranian thuggery reaching into Europe. From Spiegel Online (thanks to Fjordman):
An Iranian-German soccer player who plays for the German national Under-21 side has asked not to play against Israel in a friendly on October 12. The team has accepted his request, angering Germany's Jewish lobby.
An Iranian-born player for Germany's under-21 national soccer team has caused controversy by asking to be excused from playing a match against Israel in Tel Aviv this Friday.
Ashkan Dejagah, 21, said in a statement posted on the German Football Federation's Web site that his reasons for not playing were "of a very personal nature and have to do with my close family."
But the player had previously been quoted in Bild newspaper as saying: "There are political reasons. Everyone knows I'm a German Iranian." Dejagah has dual citizenship. Berlin newspaper B.Z. quoted him as saying: "I have more Iranian than German blood in my veins. Besides, I'm doing this out of respect. After all, my parents are Iranian."
"I have nothing against Israel. But I'm worried about having problems later when traveling to Iran," he told the Berlin tabloid B.Z.
Are you referring to "State of Emergency"? I read it, too. I don't agree with some of Pat's political views but he was absolutely correct in the views expressed by that book. It was very well documented and researched. By the way, the subtitle sums it all up: "The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America." I think we Americans should wake up if it isn't already too late. What Dalrymple is talking about in Europe is already beginning here.
I think you're right about that. To the Islamists that art represents the degeneracy and "idolatry" of Western Judeo-Christian civilization. It's interesting to me from an historical perspective that the Greek, or Byzantine, branch of Christianity experienced the Iconoclastic controversy. This raged for over a century and wasn't resolved until 843 A.D. The iconoclasts were Christians who were opposed to religious images ("icons") or portraits of Christ, the apostles, saints or other such images. There was considerable destruction of Christian art during this controversy. There were many reasons for this heresy but one was the desire of the Byzantine emperors to secure the loyalty, or at least reduce the hostility, of their Muslim subjects. St. John of Damascus and others and the Seventh Ecumenical Council decided that such wanton destruction was imimical to Christian faith. Remember the infamous "cartoon" response of the Islamists? This rage still exists within Islam. And, I think it's even more exacrebated because such is PART OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN doctrine. So the Muslimns are not only defending their own religious views but waging jihad against their heretical enemies - Christians.
I think you make some good points. Dalrymple mentions guilt in Europe over Nazism and fascism. In regard to having more children, what you say is INTELLECTUALLY and logically correct. But, existentially and in reality, such an abstract fact can't induce people to have children. It has to be the natural consequence of an environment that encourages and teaches certain values. And that no longer exists in Europe. This is just one facet of post-Christian life there.

Deputy Under Secretary Outlines Agricultural Success at Mississippi Small Farmers Conference
In the two years that President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack have been in office, those involved in production agriculture have participated in driving a sustained economic recovery. That's the message I delivered earlier this week to farmers, extension staff, local business leaders and government officials during a speech at Alcorn State University in Mississippi. I was honored to be asked to address those in attendance at the 20th annual Small Farmers Conference at Alcorn State. The theme is "Sowing the Seeds of Opportunity for a Bountiful Harvest."

Aerospace engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to the design, development, and implementation of systems or vehicles that travel above the surface of the earth. The vehicles may include a variety of aircraft and spacecraft such as low-speed propeller-powered aircraft, high-speed jet-powered aircraft, along with space-related vehicles and systems that include rockets, spacecraft, space stations, planetary rovers and various types of specialty equipment.
Aerospace engineers may develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and spacecraft. They often specialize in areas such as aerodynamic fluid flow; structural design; guidance, navigation, and control; instrumentation and communication; robotics; or propulsion and combustion. They can specialize in designing different types of aerospace products, such as commercial and military airplanes and helicopters; remotely piloted aircraft and rotorcraft; spacecraft, including launch vehicles and satellites; and military missiles and rockets.
Aerospace engineers typically are specialized in one of two types of engineering, aeronautical engineering or astronautical engineering:
Aeronautical engineers work with aircrafts. They are involved primarily in designing aircraft and propulsion systems and in studying the aerodynamic performance of aircraft and construction materials. They work with the theory, technology, and practice of flight within the earths atmosphere.
Astronautical engineers work with the science and technology of spacecrafts and how they perform inside and outside the earths atmosphere.

Paper to be in 'Short Supply' at International Ozone Gathering
Qatar and UN Pave Way for Environmentally-Friendly, Paper-Free Events
20th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and 8th Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention
Doha/Nairobi, 16 November 2008 - Paper-free or near paperless conferences may soon be in sight under a pioneering initiative by the Government of Qatar and the UN Environment Programme(UNEP), it was announced today.
Delegates attending an international conference on the protection of the ozone layer are being issued with laptops and given lessons on how to minimize paper in terms of documents, reports and publications.
Special software is being utilized which will allow delegates to share and amend papers during the six day meeting taking place in the Qatari capital Doha.
The initiative is also expected to save greenhouse gas emissions linked with the shipment of conference documents and publications to and from meetings.
Key Issues at the Conference
The pilot comes as delegates from over 150 countries are meeting under the Montreal Protocol and Vienna Convention on substances that deplete the ozone layer.
· Issues before delegates include destruction of ozone damaging substances held in items such as fridges, fire-fighting equipment and foams.
Many of these banked ozone-damaging chemicals have climate change impacts too. Large amount could, without action, be released as early as 2015.
This could lead to the equivalent of several billion tonnes of C02 being pumped into the atmosphere.
· Countries will also discuss the sixth replenishment of the Multilateral Fund- which has so far spent over $2 billion on assisting developing countries to phase out ozone-killing chemicals and switch to less harmful ones.
Countries are likely to discuss a range of replenishment figures from around $338 million to close to $630 million to cover the coming years including the costs of accelerating the freeze and phase-out of HCFCs-chemicals that can damage the ozone layer but are now also known to contribute to global warming too.
A significant agreement to the accelerated freeze and phase-out was made at the last meeting off the Montreal Protocol held in the Canadian city from where the treaty takes its name.
· Countries will again be seeking exemptions for a chemical known as methyl bromide used for fumigating soils against crop-damaging pests. However, the quantities of exemptions being sought are down by around 70 per cent from a few years ago.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "The Montreal Protocol and the Vienna Convention are among the outstanding examples of international cooperation on the environment. They have lead to a dramatic reduction in the production and consumption of chemicals that deplete the ozone layer-that thin layer of high flying gas that protects all life on Earth from deadly levels of ultra violet rays".
"This week in Doha governments need to keep that momentum up including the necessary levels of funding needed to complete this important work including the challenge but also the opportunity presented for both ozone and climate from the accelerated freeze and phase-out of HCFCs," he said.
Mr Steiner said the paperless conference concept would be another welcome and practical outcome of the meeting.
"Tens of millions of tones of C02, the principle greenhouse gas, are released as a result of the manufacture, printing and shipping of paper in the form of documents, publications and books. The UN and its numerous meetings are no exception," he said.
"I would like to thank the Government of Qatar for backing this inspiring idea and look forward to taking the concept forward-if we are successful it could become a blue print across the UN and who knows, perhaps one day we could witness a near paperless or paper-free General Assembly in New York," said Mr Steiner.
Waleed Al-Emadi, a senior ozone expert at the Qatar Ministry of the Environment, said: "In the United States alone there have been estimates that a 10 per cent reduction in the use of paper in offices could cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1.6 billion tones".
"Less printing also means less ink, less use of heavy metals such as cadmium and less use of electricity. Imagine the environmental improvements around the world if paperless or near paper less meetings and conferences can be part of daily life."
Paper-free UNEP Governing Council
The pilot is expected to lead to an even bigger trial when the world's environment ministers meet in Nairobi, Kenya in February next year at the headquarters of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
The Qatar Ministry of the Environment is planning to donate a large quantity of laptops complete with the special software while dispatching IT experts to make UNEP's Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum as paper-free as possible.
Many delegates attending conferences also bring and return home with large quantities of books and reports.
A study by UNEP on climate neutrality, released in June this year to mark World Environment Day 2008, estimated that if every air passenger reduced their luggage and carry on items by 20 Kg it could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by two million tones a year.
UNEP's exhibition in Doha will also be paperless and sport the banner 'Are You looking for a UNEP Publication? We Left it At Home!'.
In order to get delegates on the paperless path, UNEP will be handing out memory sticks and guides on how to download publications while outlining the greenhouse gas emissions saved by not carting loads of documents back home.

Hustle! The Ultimate Fatback 1969-84, CD (£12.14)
I'm standing at the Jazz Caf?©, a little tired from the week's exertions and wondering if I could possibly get a good night's sleep and feel better. The place is rammed and the drums are being hit slowly and deliberately by the man behind the kit. It is a calling to attention of the audience and a welcome to the stage of the band: the Fatback Band. The man behind the drums is Bill Curtis, the founder member and leader of Fatback throughout 35 years of its history. At 72 he should by all rights be enjoying a quiet retirement in Carolina, but instead he's here keeping his distinct tight funky beat. By the end of the first couple of numbers my tiredness is just a memory and I have been bouyed by the sheer electricity of the Fatback performance.
Now clearly after 35 years the Fatback have built up quite a catalogue, and in their latest tour of the UK they were seen by quite a lot of people-.-so if you were for instance one of those people who saw them play at Glastonbury this year and wanted to pick up a fine selection of their hits, or possibly those tracks that you have heard that have been sampled by, amongst others, the Beastie Boys, Groove Armada or maybe Bjork, where would be a good place to start? Well may we humbly suggest this fine compilation? 31 of Fatback's best numbers split across two CDs, one featuring their biggest hits and the other those more familiar in recent years as samples and floor-fillers in discerning clubs the world over.
So what are these hits I hear you ask? Well there's a lot of them, 14 in the UK and over 30 in the States. So for a start there is the phenomenal I Found Loving, such a big hit in the UK in the 80s that it hit the charts three times in the 80s, twice by Fatback and once by DJ Steve Walsh. Then there is the all-time disco classics Bus Stop and Spanish Hustle, and their big US hits Gotta Get My Hands On Some Money and Double Dutch, and just to top that all of they recorded the first rap record in King Tim III (Personality Jock).
But at the heart of it all the Fatback Band were a funk group, with an ability to play honed to perfection in clubs and at dances. So CD Two shows us where they were at with that stuff, from their earliest singles - the $1000 Peace Love Not War - through the rare groove classic of Dance Girl, onto the pure Fatback funk of Wicki-Wacky or the much sample Got To Learn How To Dance. Trivia fans may be interested to know that the sound of Bill's drums on Wicki-Wacky was a major influence on the reggae rhythm section of Sly and Robbie's distinctive sound.
So I'm not really sure what you're waiting for: you may have caught them live this time, or on one of their previous visits. Indeed you may never have seen them in your life. However you know what they sound like and this is their best music together in one place. Go on treat yourself, you know you're ready.
