to the education of our medical caregivers.
We provide accredited training and

In cancer care, the word multi-disciplinary has a special meaning. It refers to the coordinated, comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating illness. It refers to the blend of high technology with skilled professionals to give personalized care. It refers to dedicated, patient-centered services in the same environment as ground-breaking research.
The core of the Institute is its people, a dedicated team of physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and support staff. The physicians are specially selected for their experience and range of expert knowledge. They, in turn, have sought out the Institute because it encourages and supports their excellence. Each is a board-certified faculty member, qualified to train resident physicians, medical students and fellows. The center has just been approved to train young physicians who will be specialists in Hematology/Oncology after completion of their medical training.
Because cancer treatment usually involves several disciplines of care -- surgery, chemotherapy and radiation -- the Institute serves as the hub for the comprehensive care program. Within its three-story facility, in tandem with the technology and speciality services of the main hospital building, the Institute provides a structure for care that gives new meaning to the word comprehensive:

Jim Perry in "Escape from Massachusetts"
Fed up with high taxes and the Massachusetts nanny state, Jim Perry joined the United States' fastest-growing freedom movement, the Free State Project, and publicly broke his bonds from big government. To symbolize this event, Jim chained himself to a pole in Massachusetts at its border near Nashua. Freestaters at the event witnessed thousands of cars pouring in to New Hampshire from Massachusetts for sales-tax-free shopping. Jim remained chained for about an hour, holding a sign urging people to "Cut the chains of statism. --freestateproject.org". Compatriots in the Free State Project handed out flyers explaining the project and held signs:
"Escape to NH. --freestateproject.org"
"Honk if you love NH. --freestateproject.org"
"Now escaping Massachusetts"
Freestaters who had already made the move to NH then broke his chains, allowing him to make a mad dash to his freedom. Once there, he celebrated some of the freedoms one immediately gains when crossing the border: he destroyed a MA income tax form (NH has no state income or sales taxes); he drove a car without a seatbelt (NH is the only state without a seatbelt law for adults); and he openly carried a handgun, reveling in the freedom to protect himself and his loved ones.
Not all who attended the event were Freestaters. Two assisting in Jim's break for freedom were NH natives who welcome the Free State Project. They admitted that before they began working with the Freestaters moving to NH, they were ready to leave New Hampshire. Now they've decided to stay and be a part of Liberty in our Lifetimes.
Event Photos
Voting with their feet. Eventually some of the socialist states may learn lessons the hard way.
Not many posts, but this is hysterical.
Yes, they are voting with their feet alright, moving to NH and bringing their liberal politics and views with them. Now we have another democratic govenor. The last one DOUBLED the states budget (in one term she doubled the entire budget, an amount which took the entire history of the state to reach!). John F'n Kerry bumper stickers abound here as well. This state is no longer what it once was. It is quickly becoming Mass 2.
Awesome...I have a dream, a dream to escape the liberal Northeast, a dream of freedom and hope....New Hampshire, I hear your beacon of hope!!!!
LOL, I can see Massachusetts now... in my imagination they try and pass a law to try and force former Mass. residents to continue to pay their state income taxes to MA.
Don't think it can't happen. Watch them tax NH residents who commute to MA on income earned there.
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter
And shed a bitter tear.
That's the current situation. I hope Jim Perry doesn't have a job in Mass., he'll need that tax form!
Hence - virtual commuting. The solution when the Peoples Republic of New York tried taxing New Jersey and Conneticut residents in that way. Its estimated by the New York Association for Business that New York has lost more than $5 Billion in tax revenues a year through virtual commuting, business migrations caused by such taxes, and job exports.
Congatulations on your successful escape. I escaped 2 years ago (currently residing in a Virginia safe haven). Have been trying to get my parents and siblings out. No luck so far though.
The Free Staters who are Massachusetts escapees aren't the ones who are bringing left-wing politics - we're the ones who are going to help you fight against it!
Now we have another democratic govenor.
The margin of Lynch's victory was 14,413 votes, 14,960 of which were cast in Merrimack county, and 13,778 of which were cast in the city of Concord.
Lynch also won significant margins in Cheshire, Sullivan, and Grafton counties, along the Vermont border.
Look at the vote results in towns near Massachusetts - Merrimack had a Republican sweep, for example, and Hillsborough and Rockingham counties, along the border of eastern Massachusetts, both returned strong margins of victory for Benson.
Pelham, the town closest to Boston along I93, posted 57.7% for Benson. Proceeding northeast up the border, Salem was 56.1% Benson, Atkinson was 59.6% Benson, Plaistow was 57.3% Benson. Further up, you start into the Hampton/Portsmouth leftist enclave and the margins get smaller - Newton was 50.8% Benson and Seabrook was 50.9%, but he lost South Hampton by 21 votes.
Our problem isn't the people escaping from Massachusetts' leftist tyranny, our problem is granola-eatin', tree-huggin', sandal-wearin', patchouli-stinkin' tax-and-spend Vermonters coming across the river, and state employees who think they have a God-given right to a cushy government job and a comfortable pension regardless of the financial health of the state. That is, the same state employees whose featherbeds Gov. Benson was overturning on behalf of the productive citizens of this state.
Instead of looking south, look west - Sun Tzu said that if you know yourself, but do not know the enemy, for every victory you will suffer a defeat.
To turn this around and put a stop to the Mass 2 slide, you should vigorously support and promote the Free State Project. How much of a difference would 20,000 activists - not just voters, but activists for limited government, personal freedom, and individual responsibility - have made in the last election?
Thank you. I escaped from the People's Republic of California. We've been going wild up here with all the pro-liberty activity. I'm kind of exhausted, actually :) Next week we've planned a zoning protest in Hampton, NH. The big bad bureacrats are harassing a 95 year old woman and her family who are trying to care for her. They're facing a ~$180,000 and having to tear down their garage for made up zoning violations. If anyone's interested in more information, just go to the NH Underground: nhunderground.com and visit the Zoning Protest page, or visit the forum.
You've got that right. The number of Volvos and Subarus with JFK stickers on I-93 last fall was depressing. We need more conservative refugees and fewer leftist pilgrims.
I was on a business trip to Concord about five months ago. It is the farthest east I have ever been. Charming place, and cop cars everywhere. It was the fuzzyest place I've been in the entire country.
It also seemed a little economically depressed. Oh, and lots of car dealerships.
Well, they already do this, sort of. If you live in NH and work in Mass., you pay "non-resident" income tax to Massachusetts (at the same rate as residents of the People's Republic). So if you're planning on moving here - get a job here first, or you'll be subsidizing Kerry Country.
Left MA 12 years ago .Live in AZ now and loving it. 53 years was way to long.
Sounds like you're a friend of the Free State Project!
I'm a friend of Liberty, though not necessarily morality-free libertarianism. I'm hopeful that folks who move here in search of freedom will distinguish between liberty and license.
How do you make that distinction? If someone else's exercise of their own individual liberty makes you uncomfortable, then does it become "license?" Or do you have a different standard?
I don't think you'll find any libertarian who will say that polluters or anyone else should be immune from liability for the harm they do to others.
That's what the courts are for, and it's only the anarchists who say we don't need a government-run court system. Most libertarians aren't anarchists, though.
With respect to narcotics distribution, yeah, I know what you mean... the local CVS has had a really significant negative impact on traffic in the area, and our taxes have to pay for the maintenance signal that went in at the entrance to its parking lot.
Cute, Michael. But are you suggesting that street dope peddlars aren't a problem, or that crack ought to be legalized, regulated and sold by CVS? I'm as much in favor of the 2nd Amendment as I know you are, but you'd need an arsenal to protect you from the results of legalizing drugs. I would probably make an exception for marijuana (whose only serious negative effect seems to be to hinder coherent thought and cause people to vote for Democrats), but other than that, regulation won't work for drugs whose sole purpose is abuse. CVS sells narcotic-based drugs, but only those with demonstrable pharmaceutical value. Crack, on the other hand, is what's in demand on the street, and if you've seen what that stuff does to people, well, no amount of libertarian theorizing can excuse it.
Crack itself is a byproduct of the drug war. Compact, easy to smuggle, high profit margin, low cost to value ratio, etc. Much more economical than powder cocaine.
I think it's safe to say that if tobacco or coffee were banned, we'd be decrying the scourge of crack nicotine or crack caffeine.
We're already starting to see a violent criminal element get involved in cigarettes in states like NY and CA where the taxes are high enough to make smuggling extremely lucrative.
The problem people seem to have is that when it comes to drugs, any rational understanding of market forces, unintended consequences, and simple economics goes right out the window in the face of emotional appeals on behalf of people who made their own free choice to ingest the drug in the first place.
And besides, they can't even keep drugs out of prisons, where on-demand body cavity searches are de rigeur, so what makes you think that they'll ever be able to keep recreational drugs out of society as a whole? The word "police state" doesn't even begin to describe would would be necessary.
Posted a bit too soon.
Basically, Andy, I think that we have a much better chance of fixing the drug problem in the US if we stopped treating it like a criminal issue and started treating it like a public health issue, which is what it really is.

Stick with us please; it's still the freest state in an unfree Union and the tax burden is lower here than everywhere else. If there's something you don't like here please help us change it; just come over to www.NHunderground.com to see what we are doing to fight the tax and spenders...there was nothing like it when you left unless you just left!
In any case thanks much for your service and keep safe so we can have you back!
Bad behavior (such as drug abuse) is not caused by bad incentives - it is caused by a lack of virtue: which is to say that it is a human failing. People are not perfectable. Ideologues of the Left believe that they are - and that Government ought to be the agent of perfection. Ideologues of the Right (insofar as many exist these days) demand that State power be used to impose morality by criminalizing "bad" behavior, or any behvior of which they disaprove .
Our Founders rejected these extremes because they knew that a free people could maintain their freedom only through the practice of Virtue. The role of Government in this regard is to promote such virtue, in part by protecting citizens from damage to life and property caused by poor behavior and by directing the mediating institutions of society (families, neighborhoods, churches, synagogues, businesses) to police themselves and their members. In the absence of self-corrective action, however, Government must act where threats to life and property become imminent and irreversible. John Locke (for one) recognized this police power as a necessary evil in a democratic Republic, but one that must be exercised for the purpose of maintaining public safety and and an orderly society.
We have today a substantial number of people living in this country who do not possess the personal responsibility, much less the knowledge, to live productive lives. That problem cannot be solved by Government alone - after all, it was Government that helped cause it. And having assisted in the development of such pathologies as drug abuse, the Government must now shield the innocent from them - at least until Virtue is rediscovered by those in most in need of it.
"LFOD please stay!!! We need folks like you so bad, but the threat is not Mass. immigrants overall, most of them are conservative according to stats the Union Leader researched last year. The threat is the NH public schools which has driven Live Free or Die out of our kids' minds."
Hear, hear!
I'm booking me a moving van to New Hampshire, likely sometime in late 2007 - just in time for the Presidential (silly) season. Timing dictated by how big a posse we bring.
I seriously doubt I'll be going with less than 4: my son estimates 15, but that could be optimistic (or pessimistic; Ohio has more young people leaving than any other State in the Union; their taxes are exceeded only by Maine and New York).

The U.S. - Indonesia Partnership Program (USIPP), funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) from 2010 - 2012 and administered by IIE, brought together six U.S. and six Indonesian higher education institutions to develop bilateral partnerships. The main goal of the grant was to increase U.S. study abroad to Indonesia through new, innovative programs.
Throughout the grant period, the twelve participating institutions participated in two major workshops: the first in Bandung, Indonesia (2011) and the second in Washington, DC (2012). The workshops focused on building study abroad hosting capacity at Indonesian institutions, U.S. and Indonesian priorities for developing partnerships, best practices in bilateral academic collaboration, and ways to maintain mutually beneficial and sustainable linkages.
USIPP yielded a number of concrete results that contributed directly to the 2010 Comprehensive Partnership Agreement, signed by Presidents Obama and Yudhoyono. These include:

This cardiologist-approved weight loss formula is clinically-designed to…
Take inches off your waist and add years of life to your heart!
Omega-3 Weight Loss helps…
- Lose up to 30 pounds in 90 days
- Reduce body fat percentage
- Safely increase metabolism to burn more calories
- Maintain steady blood glucose levels
- Stimulant free and safe with heart medicines
During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. In fact, the latest statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 20% or more of the population in every single state of our nation is obese!1
But, what's not as widely known is that carrying even a few excess pounds can impact your heart, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and more. So I've always encouraged my patients to maintain a normal weight and waistline by living a healthy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, there are two distinct roadblocks that challenge many people who are trying to lose weight—a slowing metabolism and blood sugar swings that can lead to low energy and unnecessary snacking.
So I went to work to develop Omega-3 Weight Loss, a ground-breaking nutrient combination that conquers both of these roadblocks and is stimulant-free, with no known contraindications with cardiovascular medications.
3 powerful, research-based ingredients for extraordinary heart-healthy weight loss
GreenSelect® Phytosome—Lose up to 30 pounds in 90 days
GreenSelect Phytosome is an extremely powerful and highly absorbable decaffeinated green tea extract . Clinical research found that it not only helps increase metabolism so you can burn more calories, but also helps increase lean body mass and reduce body fat percentage, which are both important for your heart health.
In fact, study participants who took GreenSelect Phytosome lost an average of 30 pounds in 90 days, when combined with a reduced calorie diet and exercise. That's three times more weight than those who followed the diet alone.
GlucoHelp® Banaba Leaf Extract—To steady your blood sugar levels
GlucoHelp is a special extract of the Philippine crepe myrtle, or Banaba leaf, which contains a number of powerful antioxidant compounds and is standardized that help to steady blood sugar levels.
In human clinical trials, participants taking daily oral doses of GlucoHelp experienced a statistically significant reduction in blood glucose levels and significantly improved glucose tolerance.2,3
In other words, this powerful, natural compound helped to minimize glucose spikes and dips, which may lead to low energy and snacking and make weight loss more challenging. I made sure to include the same, proven research dose in my Omega-3 Weight Loss formula.
Calamarine® Omega-3 Oil—For heart-healthy weight loss
I rounded out my Omega 3 Weight Loss formula with DHA-rich Calamarine oil. Richer in DHAs than ordinary fish oil supplements, Calamarine Omega-3 Oil provides the critical omega-3s your cardiovascular system needs to support heart-smart* weight loss. Supportive, but not conclusive research, shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Enjoy better results from your weight loss and heart health efforts
If you're committed to a healthy diet and regular exercise in order to control your weight and support your heart…why not enjoy better results from your efforts?
My Omega-3 Weight Loss formula can help you lose up to three times more weight than you'd lose with diet and exercise alone. And it helps you reduce your body fat percentage, which is important for a healthy heart. Plus, Omega-3 Weight Loss helps steady blood sugar levels and includes abundant DHA omega-3s to nourish and support your heart. It's the only supplement you'll find that works as hard as you do for heart-healthy weight loss.

Energy and its production is the lifeblood of Emery and Carbon counties. The industry is the largest employer in the region. To honor this important industry as well as advance and promote energy production and development within the counties, the Southeastern Utah Energy Producers Association was formed. It is a tradition to honor those who have contributed greatly to the industry and at this year's banquet the lifetime achievement awards were given to David Zaccaria of Tram Electric and Harmond Electric, founded by the late George Harmond Sr. Rick Olsen is the president of SEUPA.
The plaques were presented at the association's eighth annual banquet in the Fairgrounds Event Center. Zaccaria, who started a small after-market remanufacturing shop in 1981, was honored not only for service to the energy industry but for his humanitarian and philanthropic contributions to the community. Tram Electric's growth in clients and product lines over the decades led to several relocations to accommodate more machines and employees. The company now occupies a 44,650 square-foot building on almost six acres on Airport Road in Price.
In accepting the award Zaccaria thanked his family and employees for the success and he also paid tribute to "Harmond University," where he had worked before starting out on his own.
There were others in the audience who shared the experience of working for Harmond Electric early in their careers. The company was launched as a part-time venture in the late 1950s by George Harmond and Dominic Bruno. Harmond quit work at the old Kaiser Steel coal mine in 1961 to pursue full time work at his own shop.
The company grew from a handful of employees working in a backyard shed into an interstate mine electrical equipment service and sales organization. The business has since been sold, becoming Electrical Contractors and Baker Mine Service.
Judge George Harmond Jr. and his sister Linda accepted the award on behalf of their late father.
Entertainment for the evening was provided by country-western singer Michael Martin Murphey. He said his record producers didn't want him to do love songs because they wouldn't sell albums, but he wrote a country and western love song that he sang for his parents on their 40, 50 and 60th anniversaries and it became one of his great hits. It's called, "You Come From A Long Line Of Love." He told the audience of energy producers thank you for doing what they do and keeping the lights on in this great nation. He called them heroes. He thanked the Lord above that he is able to earn a living making music and doing what he loves. "I've been doing this all my life, I wanted to be a singing cowboy like Roy Rogers. I was told once to keep a notebook by my bed, because sometimes inspiration for songs comes while you sleep. My signature song, and probably my most famous is Wildfire. I dreamed this song, I don't know exactly what it means. I woke up at 3 a.m. and I had dreamed this song, so I wrote it down and set it to a melody." Murphey said when he gets to heaven he is going to ask God what this song means. Murphey performed his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner with a little more pep and life than the song usually is given. He also told the story of Francis Scott Key and how the flag was still flying after a long night of battle.
SEUPA honored all of the Veterans present with a standing ovation as their theme song from each of the branches of the military played and a slide show of Veterans was shown.
Olsen encouraged all to remain active in fighting for the future of Utah energy.

Jana Abrams, scenic byways coordinator, reported that a grant has been secured to construct an interpretive site near the mammoth discovery location. The mammoth was discovered near Huntington Reservoir on Aug. 8, 1988. Since that time, the bones from the mammoth have been placed at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum.
Abrams said that scenic byways has been coordinating with Bill Broadbear of the forest service, and the Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company to bring about the interpretive site project. A kiosk will be constructed this season, with interpretive panels explaining and detailing the discovery of the mammoth sometime next season.
A trail will lead to the site from the parking lot near the Huntington Reservoir dam. The trail will be ADA accessible. Joe Venus, an artist who has painted scenes depicting the mammoth has given his permission to use his artwork on the interpretive panels.
Advertising will begin during the winter months for this new attraction, and Abrams hopes that it will help boost tourism in the area. She also noted that, sometime in the future, an interactive component will be added to the kiosk and interpretive panels.

Inconsistent Iginla, Team Canada Edition
Pat Steinberg
February 22 2010 08:46AM
It's been an up and down Olympics for Team Canada forward Jarome Iginla, not unlike his season with the Calgary Flames. Some pretty good highs, and some pretty invisible periods which you can classify as lows. And after a 5-3 win loss to Team USA on Sunday night, I'm still not sure what to make of Jarome Iginla, Team Canada Edition.
In his first game, I wrote about how he gelled and meshed with linemates Sidney Crosby and Rick Nash. He scored three goals that game in under 10 minutes of ice time, and he clearly earned a shot to start on that top unit at the beginning of Canada's second game. And he did, but the results weren't great. In fact, Iginla was yanked from the Crosby-Nash unit in the second period of that game.
Canada's 3-2 shootout win over Switzerland saw Iginla's useage scaled back throughout — so much so that he was the main topic on our FAN 960 postgame show. He played just two minutes in the third period and didn't see the game once in overtime, making some wonder whether there was some sort of injury.However, Mike Babcock said following the game that it wasn't an injury — so it was performance related. Fair enough; he wasn't great. He wasn't nearly as engaged as he needs to be against the Swiss, was easier to push off the puck, and wasn't really a factor most of the time while he was on the ice.
So, it's game three for Canada, their biggest test yet, against the Americans. The big story was that Flyers captain Mike Richards would start on the Crosby-Nash line, and he did. That didn't last long. The coaching staff was pretty quick to go back to Patrice Bergeron in that game, and then eventually to #12. Iginla started on a 4th line rotation with Jonathan Toews, Brenden Morrow and Bergeron. But by the end of the game, that changed.
Iginla saw some powerplay time on the top unit in the second period, and Canada trailed the US 3-2 after two periods of play. But it seemed the coaching staff decided to go back to the well in the final frame, and I think we saw something once again. Iginla saw time with Crosby and Nash for most of the third period... and we saw some chemistry once again.
It was most evident late in the third, when Canada had got themselves back within one: Iginla was on the ice for a dominating shift that lasted almost 90 seconds. Canada got three or four quality scoring opportunities, only to be robbed by Ryan Miller in the US net each time. Iginla was a big part of that, and you started to think that maybe there was something there
Almost unanimously on our postgame show on The FAN 960 on Sunday, the feeling was Iginla should get another shot on that top unit. And why not? Canada needs to get something going quick, as they enter single elimination play on Tuesday against Germany. I think Iginla earned another shot with Crosby and Nash to start Tuesday. The problem is, he needs to prove he should stick there. He needs to be the factor he was on Canada's third goal, when Miller cheated towards him in the slot and gave Crosby the opening he needed to score. If we see that, maybe we'll be correct in saying there's something there. If he doesn't, and it's the same old story — wondering just where he fits.
February 22 2010, 09:02AM
Hes going to play great against germany, they have the skill level that he flourishes against
wake up Jar Jar Binks!
February 22 2010, 12:15PM
anybody with skill can look good against a weaker team...im gonna asume he'll play good against the germans...the real test for him is the russians
Iginla with Toews and Morrow actually dominated the top US scoring line in the first period. And of course the Crosby line was really pouring it on with Iggy on the wing (although they did that all night no matter who their right winger was).

Crosby was a -3 Were you not watching the same game I was. Crosby line did not do a thing until Iggy showed up with them.
Yet the fourth line Iggy was on did more than hold it's own for the first two periods.
This is not a problem with Iggy, this is a coaching problem, LEAVE IGGY ON THE TOP LINE. That IS there best line.

That IS there best line.
I'm pretty sure we were watching different games. Because Crosby was dominant despite the -3 (and really, I don't want to argue about plus-minus in one-game snapshots because it won't end well), he was all over the ice and the puck and the US defenders couldn't contain him.
And beyond that I actually agreed that Iggy dominated when he was on the Toews line.
February 22 2010, 03:39PM
I know that everyone can't belevie what is going on but i mean no one has played on this team enough to geal or mesh . Crosby , Iginla and Nash did what 3 nhl super stars should do they set up plays and scored goals . Maybe we should stop looking at the endless line combo's and start looking at the team concept .
Anything less then gold is a failure .
Lines at today's practice...
Luongo starting.

Not bad. I like the swap of Staal and Nash, because quite frankly I think Nash's "chemistry" with Crosby has been overrated. The dude has made a number of mistakes (albeit mostly ones that aren't costly) that had me facepalming. The real key to the top line is that Crosby is godly and can probably play well with just about anyone, including a mistake-prone fancypants like Nash. I'll bet if you stuck Bertuzzi and Jokinen on Crosby's wings they'd end up looking a hell of a lot better than they are, and people would gush about how they had "chemistry" on the line.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

For my grandpa
Today was spent tracing the contour of a ridge high above Glacier National Park, where wind howled and clouds swirled and we clung to cliff bands, perched on the edge of infinity.
It was the day my grandfather died.
I will think of him when I visit these high places.

Gucci flip flop
"Just received my order of Gucci flip flops and fell in love with them. Even my husband loved them. The pewter color is very classy and pretty much matches everything in my wardrobe. The sizing is true to fit, being that I'm 8 mths pregnant and my feet are swollen just a tad I was able to fit comfortably into my regular 6 1/2. The only thing I might need are some slip grip guards for the bottom of the shoes, however that's not an issue. Thank u DSW!!!"

Reviews for Herbed Cheese Sticks
"We made this as one of the selections for our recent appetizer night. Really loved them and will be making them again."
"Amazing! My husband, who is not a big fan of any breadsticks, loved this recipe. We will definitely be making this again. I make my own pizza crust which yeilds 2 pizzas. Instead of making the second pizza, I added the garlic, a small amount of spaghetti seasoning and parmesan to the dough. I worked in the spices then rolled into the pan and topped with cheeses and spice. It worked great, though I did bake it a few minutes longer."
"this is cool im going home and trying it"
"Really good! I also used the refrigerated pizza dough instead of a pizza mix. Was really cheesy and tasted great with the Pizza soup recipe from TOH."
"flavor was lacking. try recipe for Italian Cheese bread instead."
"My grandies are all teens and are always hungry when they come to my house. This is one of the easiest snacks to make on a moments notice. I usually have the ingredients on hand. I made it extra easy by using the refrigerated pizza dough instead of the mix."
"So easy and tasty. Kids really liked it!"

Comments: I am loving this shoe. I'd estimate I have about 75-100 miles currently on them. I did have to send the first pair back to go up a half-size, even after following the La Sportiva sizing chart. Aside from that, this shoe is great. The upper perfectly wraps around your foot, and at first I was worried about the narrow toe-box, but once I'm moving I don't notice it at all. The outsole is fantastic. Light, great grip, and flexible enough. I think I'm sold on La Sportiva being my go-to trail shoe company, because of the Vertical K. I'll be running a 25k in them next weekend.
From: Mike, Akron, OH, USA. March 23rd 2016
Comments: The VK is one of my favorite shoes for mild conditions. The wide toebox and sock-like upper are a wonderful job. The midsole is light and flexible enough to not feel clunky, but substantial enough to mask the ground for longer distances (upwards of 50 miles) when the extra leg work required to make minimal shoes work is too painful. Should I ever start racing again, this is my 100 mile shoe of choice The downside of the lack of a real outsole is these shoes are horrible on slippery and steep terrain. The shoes wash out on mud, do not traverse snow, and beat steps in steep snow exceptionally poorly for even running shoes. These aren't nearly as bad as Hokas, but not as good as the older Inov-8 models.
From: Anonymous. June 13th 2015
Comments: I have run two trail 50ks in the La Sportivas and they are my favorite shoe to date. Everyone hits their distance limit with this shoe differently, mine is ideally 25 miles or so, so 31 miles is pushing it a bit. However, other shoes tend to cause me blisters or other discomfort such that I am always reaching for the Vertical Ks. I am trying to use the Helios, and perhaps it is sizing (I tried the same size as the Vertical Ks) and I developed a blister on just a short run. We will see if anything can do better, maybe the Salomon Sense Lab Ultra?
From: Jeff, Bay Area, CA
Comments: This shoe is right up my alley as an all-purpose hybrid shoe. Have only run a few times in it, a short single-track run, a 4-mile road run on wet asphalt, and a 50k race on non-technical dirt trail+some asphalt greenway. Very impressed with the
versatility and traction. Lightweight, but feet and legs felt great after a hard sub-4 50k. Use shoefitter! I'm a 9.5 in most shoes and a 42 in Vibrams, but I went with the suggested 44.0 in these and the fit was spot on. Looking forward to more long runs and
races in these.
From: Chas, Cornelius, NC
Comments: I bought this shoe because I'm not going out for multi-hour runs too much right now. The other shoe I've been wearing for the longer runs is the Hoka Stinson Evo. This lightweight Vertical K is FAST. Amazingly, it doesn't weigh much, yet has some decent cushioning. My toes are wide and the toe box of this shoe accommodates this, while keeping the midfoot and heel secure. The shoe is sock-like and has essentially no support. I really enjoy the heel-cup area of this shoe because there is no "cup". I don't know why so many manufacturers install these super cushioned, deep heel pockets. When I go uphill in these shoes, there is no rubbing on my heels. This shoe allows for complete foot flexibility without any struggling. Awesome uphill shoe - maybe the best of all the shoes I've worn. On flats this shoe is fine too - feels a little 4X4ish on pavement with the different sole shape making itself known - not perceptible on dirt. On downhills this shoe obviously lacks the cushioning of the Hoka Evo. I can't fly on downhills with these shoes. Also, rocks: I've been running these shoes on relatively domesticated county park trails. From time to time rocks makes their way into the "valley" portion of the sole shape. For me, this equals pain. A full sole version of this shoe would be nice - fill in the valleys. My longest run with these speedsters has been 90 minutes. I definitely love the climbing more with these shoes (compared to Stinson EVOs), but I can't really cruise as quickly on the downhills. If I had a 50 mile route to do, I would reach for the Evos. For 30-45min post work runs on familiar terrain, I'll reach for these 6 out of 10 times. I also have the MT1010s and the the Vert Ks have more cushioning. I weigh 155lbs, run 5 days a week, and I like cushioned trail shes.
From: Gus, Central Coast, California
Comments: I won a choice of La Sprortiva shoes at a trail race and decided I would try a pair of trail shoes that I would never buy. La Sportiva advertised them as "short" race shoes. What distance that means is anybody's guess. I've used them for 10 and 15-mile races and decided that was at the edge of their limits. I've been running in traditional- drop shoes pretty much all my life and find the 6 mm drop isn't enough for me. It makes my stride feel really rigid because of the mid-foot landing it promotes. Don't be surprised if your sock is the heaviest thing on your foot when you're wearing these shoes, they're that light. The toe-box is a little tight, but the mid-foot and heal fits my foot quite well. Despite the thick sole, on rocky trails your foot takes a pretty big beating because the sole is so flexible. Having said that, don't expect to get any support from these shoes, and you need to be a very efficient runner with pretty accurate foot placement to run technical trails with these shoes. Traction is excellent on loose and leaf covered trails and the shoes really feels best for me on climbs. For my tastes, I like this shoe on short races with moderately technical terrain, climbs, fast 5k's and anything where you would naturally stay on your mid-foot and toes. However, runners used to running in low-drop shoes should find them a bit more multi-dimensional. I have narrow feet, flat to normal arches and run 60 - 70 miles of trails per week (not in these shoes, though).
From: James, Atlanta, GA
Comments: Currently these are my favorite trail shoes. They have a different last than all the other La Sportiva's (in other words the toe box is wider!). These are low to ground but offer a little cush with the morphodynamic sole. The are neutral and feel like houseshoes with a grip. They offer plenty of protection from rocks/roots but still offer a good ground feel. I am on my 2nd pair and have worn them on 35 milers in the mountains. Held up well overall. FYI use the shoe fitter. I am usually a men's size 7 and I am a European 41 in these guys. Again great shoe!
From: LJ, Knoxville, TN USA
Comments: This is a fast trail shoe and after a couple of fast paced trail runs it will become my dedicated trail racer. I own and train in some of the zero drop minimal trail shoes(trail gloves). Which will always pretty much be training shoes for me. So, I've been seeking a shoe like the Vertical K to bump up the cushioning and protection for races. There is a sizing issue with this shoe. I had to size up one full size(U.S.) and that maybe not have been enough. My toes were hitting the front of the shoes on a downhill and there is no second set of lace eyelets to hold the foot back.
From: Rob, Negaunee, MI, USA
Comments: I have put about 40 miles on these shoes and absolutely love them. They offer the best of both worlds; minimalist and cushioning. While I am not a fan of cushioned shoes, these do a great job of feeling nimble on single tracks, but for the steep long downhills, I really appreciate the cushion. Also, while there is not rock plate, the shoes do a great job of still protecting your feet from the rocks. These will most likely become my go to shoe for ultras.

"When he goes to Camp David, he goes to spend time with his family and friends to relax, not to produce photographs," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Monday. He said he had never seen any pictures of Obama skeet shooting.
"He does go to Camp David with some regularity, but I'm not sure how often hes done that."
According to CBS News' Mark Knoller, who keeps statistics on the president's movements, Obama has visited Camp David 29 times, spending a total of 72 days there since taking office.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
pants on fire
I expect him to have a cook book out soon. "HOW TO COOK SKEET!"
A 12 gauge drone with Americans in clay colored clothing.
Obama's secret?
He is totally conjured. Nothing exists about him that is real.
A Playstation doesn't count.
"He does go to Camp David with some regularity, but I'm not sure how often hes done that."
Allow me to answer that for you Hoss.
Sissy boy does not shoot skeet.
He was shooting with Manti Te'o's girlfriend and his other composite girlfriend from college.
I'd like to see the list of people who have been shooting with the President, if there are more than a few people, except perhaps for members of his security detail I'd be surprised.
Do they put him in a battery recharge station every night?
Reagan said the nearest thing to immortality was a government program. That or being a clay pigeon at Camp David.
There's probably a skeet shooting range at Camp David. He's probably seen the sign, therefore he has been skeet shooting/
Maybe he was referring to his drone assassinations. Maybe he said "sheik shooting" and they thought he said "skeet...
Follow up questions:
When you shoot skeet, what are you shooting?
What do you say to release a target?
[Add your own]
So was Bubba actually skeet shooting?
My guess is that he recently shot skeet (probably for the first and maybe second times) in order to give him plausible brag-ability.
In other words, to set up a big lie, n'est ce pas?
Funny. I fid a google imge search of "Obama skeet shooting " and didn't see one picture of him with a gun.
That's a great point!
I knew the press liked to kiss Obama's butt, but that goes a little too far.
First, I am from the National Association to save the Clay Pigeons and Obama is inhumanely and wantonly killing these things!
Second, and now we know where all the ammo has gone and why no one can locate any. Obama is using all the ammo in this country to personally kill all the Clay Pigeons.
Now we know why federal agencies have been hoarding ammo! For all the hours Obama spends skeet shooting!
I am outraged I tell ya'!
Like S1m0ne?
Not exactly what I had in mind. But she did not exist except by video composing.
Obozo exists, it is his past that is totally conjured. Created out of nothing.
Even the dog is laughing at him.
The Politico article quotes Obama as saying "we do skeet shooting all the time." I thought that one "shoots skeet" rather than "does skeet shooting." Yet another example of a poseur.
Obama's skeet shooting is about as believable as N. Korean stories about Kim-jung Il getting 11 holes-in-one the first time he played golf.
Time to call his bluff. Take him to the range, give him a variety of shotguns in cases and make him demonstrate how he shoots skeet. Also give him a variety of shells not in boxes and let him pick the appropriate one.
I'd mix in some slugs too to see if he uses one. Skeet are dangerous you know. They can attack without warning.
You're righ,t bagman. I've only shot skeet one time in my life, but we distinctly went to the rod & gun club to "shoot skeet". It was fun .... and manly!
This picture of obozo throwing a ball reminds me of the TV ad with the father teaching the son how to throw. Except they throw better. The ad is pretty funny.
He wouldn't know a Skeet if it hit him between the freakin eyes, they shoot skeet in Kenya?????

Leafs Add Voros
Jonathan Willis
February 16 2011 10:03AM
The Toronto Maple Leafs made another minor move on Tuesday that didn't get much news thanks to the Kris Versteeg deal, shipping a conditional seventh round draft pick (read: basically nothing) to Anaheim in exchange for tough-guy forward and pending free agent Aaron Voros.
It's an odd trade, for a couple of reasons.
I call it an odd trade because the Leafs made a bigger one with the Ducks just a week ago and given the almost non-existent cost of the deal one imagines they could have convinced the Ducks to throw in Voros then.
But even if the Leafs couldn't convince Anaheim to toss Voros into that deal, it wouldn't have mattered; the Ducks waived the big forward that week and the Leafs could have snagged him for the price of a waiver claim.
Worse, now that Voros has passed through waivers, the Leafs would have to bring him through re-entry waivers to bring him back to the NHL, and based on Brian Burke's comments that seems unlikely:
"I would imagine at his salary, he would be attractive. But we're trying to sort out what to do with him. He's an energetic player with size who can skate, but I also think there is a good chance someone will grab him."
The result of all this is that the Leafs are paying Voros the remainder of his $1,000,000 salary to play in the AHL because they can't recall him to the big club. Voros becomes a free agent this summer, and the Leafs would now have to give up a late draft pick to sign him (confirmation on exactly what the "conditional" part of the deal was, courtesy James Mirtle) instead of the nothing they'd have to give up to sign him normally. Additionally, they could have avoided both of these minor problems by simply including him in the Beauchemin trade or by putting in a waiver claim. The cherry on top of this ice cream sundae of confusion is that Voros isn't likely to be an impact player for the Marlies either; his NHL career as a role player echoes a preceding AHL career as a role player.
Am I missing something here? Is this the convoluted scheme of an entire hockey operations department that is simply too complicated for a lowly blogger to unravel, or did the Leafs handle this badly?
February 16 2011, 10:31AM
Welcome to Leaf Nation Willis! You will quickly come to appreciate what those who follow the Buds have to contend with on a daily basis.
Now what about this deal does not make sense? Burke traded not one, but two first round picks for Phil Kessel and then shipped out a young 50-60 point player for a low first rounder. How does trading for Voros when he could have had him for free not make sense?
Thank you for clearing up my confusion earlier this week. I thought that is basically what transpired, but couldn't get my head around it.
"Did the Leafs just pick up an AHL player...and the rest of a million dollar contract... for a draft pick....and he was on waivers....what the heck just happened?
Um, yeah. Makes perfect sense....right guys....right?!
February 18 2011, 01:31AM
Not too confusing. The Leafs need bodies on the Marlies because they have so many players on the big club and injuries to boot on the AHL side. It's the same reason they traded for Fabian Brunnstrom.
Waivers don't matter because they'll never get called up. And Rexall Robots, they did get Voros for free. The condition is based on him re-signing. It'll be similar to the Brad May deal in that the Leafs get a warm body for free.

Report Cards: The Hitters
The All-Star Break means it's time to hand out the annual Royals Authority first half report cards.
There are no exams or assignments… Grading is subjective and based on a soft curve. Players are listed in a positional order from Baseball Reference with their slash stats and Fangraphs WAR.
Matt Treanor
Key Stat: Treanor leads the team with a 15% walk rate.
Coach T has been everything the Royals could have hoped when they acquired him from Texas prior to the start of the season. He calls a good game, throws out runners (he's thrown out 29% of would be base stealers) and is currently third on the team in OBP. Remember, the Royals picked up Coach T only when they came to the realization that Jason Kendall isn't the most awesomest catcher in the whole wide baseball world, and would have to miss the start of the season. Now that Kendall is down for the year, Coach T will, at the age of 35, post a career high for plate appearances sometime next month.
Grade: B+
Eric Hosmer
Key Stat: He's hitting a home run once every 29.9 at bats, second best rate on the team.
How do you give a grade to a player like this when expectations where so sky-high. Hosmer has yet to live up to the hype, but that's OK, because he's going to have a long career ahead of him.
If there's one thing about Hosmer that's bothered me in the early stages of his career, it's his defense. I've seen him do some strange things in the field. Take Saturday's game, when he ole'd a ground ball that really should have been fielded. Sure it was a hard hit ball, but it went right between his body and his glove. The kind of play the Royals minor league defensive player of the year should be making. While I'm on the negative, let's add the dude needs to lay off the high strike a little more frequently.
Still, he's 21 years old and holding his own in the big leagues. There's something to be said for that. This grade is a reflection there is still plenty of work to be done.
Grade: B-
Chris Getz
Key stat: He's scored a run 43% of the time he's reached base, tops among regulars.
Sigh… Every team has a Chris Getz. He doesn't do anything notable, except he Plays The Game The Right Way. So managers and front office guys love him. He's not that good, yet he's somehow overrated. How exactly does this work?
Don't pay a word to the Royals when they talk about his defense. Fact is, he's average to below average with the glove. He has a slow first step and has difficulty moving to his right. His ability to turn the double play is below average as well… He's converted just 47% of all double play chances this year.
Offensively, Yost has thrown him into the leadoff spot, where he's horribly miscast. As the leadoff hitter, Getz is managing a line of .183/.266/.220. True, this team doesn't have a guy who fits the traditional mold of a leadoff man, but we have enough evidence to know that it isn't Getz. But he has 17 steals, so I suppose we have that going for us.
Aviles would provide more value over an entire 162 game season.
Grade: C-
Alcides Escobar
Key stat: Hitting .343/.393/.509 since June 7.
Sometime early in the season, I sent out a Tweet proclaiming Escobar The Shortstop Jesus. I figured it was fitting because he was saving all those runs. (Get it?) (And yes, I realize I've ripped off Bill Simmons who refers to Larry Bird as The Basketball Jesus. I'm a polytheist.) His defense has been mouthwatering for much of the 2011 season. It's been so good, I can't even remember the name of that stiff who used concrete on his hands and feet at shortstop the last couple of seasons.
Now, about the bat… As cold as Escobar was early in the season, (he was hitting .203/.237/.241 on June 6) he's been scorching hot ever since. It's a remarkable turnaround. If he can push his OBP another 30 points higher, we'll really have something. That might be asking a bit much. Last year in Milwaukee, he hovered around the .300 mark until a September swoon dropped him to his final resting place of .288. But after digging that deep hole early in the season, to get back to a .300 OBP would be a heck of an accomplishment.
I still think it's hilarious Zack Greinke forced his way out of Kansas City and ended up with the Yunigma as his shortstop as those of us actually loyal to the Royals now have a defensive human highlight reel at short. That gets him a couple points right there…
Grade: B-
Wilson Betemit
Key Stat: Hitting .301/.360/.466 vs RHP and .241/.305/.278 against LHP.
Are the Royals a better team with Betemit in the lineup? Right now… Probably. But that's exactly the kind of short-sighted mess that's plagued this franchise for 25 years. Once the Royals decided it was time for Mike Moustakas, Betemit had to grab some pine.
Of course, this torpedoed any trade value Betemit may have had, but that value was going to be limited for the key stat listed above. He's probably best suited as a platoon guy or left-handed bat off the bench. (I know he's a switch hitter… But if I was a manager, I'd never use him against left handed pitching unless absolutely necessary.)
For some reason, his power is way down this year. He has a 4.3% HR/FB rate compared to last year's 12.1% HR/FB. As a result, he's homered once every 66 at bats this year. Last summer, he parked one once every 21 at bats.
Grade: C
Alex Gordon
Key Stat: As long as he stays healthy, he will post career highs in every offensive category you can imagine.
He's dominating… And I love it. Should have been an All-Star, but he can take solace in his grade…
Grade: A
Melky Cabrera
Key Stat: Cabrera is walking in just 5.4% of all plate appearances.
The Melk-Man is having the kind of season GMDM dreamed about when he signed him. Just a year ago, he finished at .255.317/.354 and a -1.0 WAR and was cut loose by the Braves. The Royals took a chance that he would be motivated and would rebound, and he certainly has.
The downside of this is he is blocking Lorenzo Cain in Omaha who is hitting .313/.379/.529 for the Storm Chasers. And, Cabrera is a third year arbitration eligible, meaning if he plays a full season in KC, the Royals retain his rights for 2012. Fans may be looking at Cabrera as trade bait, but I'm not so certain the Royals will be offered what they consider "fair value."
The Royals face an interesting decision on the Melk-Man.
Grade: A-
Jeff Francoeur
Key Stat: 37% of all his base hits have gone for extra bases.
The Frenchman has done what we all expected and reverted to his career norm following a hot start where it seemed like he was in the middle of every late game rally for the Royals. Check the numbers… In his career, Francoeur is a .268/.310/.427 hitter. There will probably be a couple of warm streaks from here to the end of the year and a couple of cool stretches as well. He is who he is.
Obviously, he's playing great defense in right. I have no idea why other teams think it's a good idea to run on the Royals outfield.
Overall, he's been a decent enough player for the Royals. His WAR is the 3rd best on the team and for you stolen base perverts, he's already swiped a career-best 15 bases.
There's a mutual option for 2012, and the early smart money is that if The Frenchman isn't dealt, that option will be exercised by both parties. We'll see…
Grade: B-
Billy Butler
Key Stat: Butler's .352 wOBA is the second best on the team.
Butler is having another Billy Butler season. In other words, he's doing a damn fine job with the bat.
One thing that's hampering Butler this season is the fact he's batting more ground balls. For his career, he has a 1.43 GB/FB ratio, but this year he's at 1.66 GB/FB. That's effected his power numbers, as his ISO has cratered to .121. It also hasn't helped that opposing pitchers are pitching around Butler. His 10 intentional walks are tops on the team. After hitting in the 3rd spot for most of last year, he's been in the cleanup or fifth spot with no protection behind him in the lineup.
The average DH makes $9 million this year. Butler is earning $3 million. His production is pretty much in the middle of the pack among the nine regular DHs. While the power isn't there, he's ripping a line drive 24% of the time he puts a ball in play. Sure, a few more home runs would be nice, but the guy is having another solid season with the bat.
He's still not a power hitter and probably will never hit for the power fans crave. Get over it. He's good.
Grade: A-
Jarrod Dyson
Key Stat: Running 43% of the time there is an open base ahead of him.
Dyson is an electric player, but so was Joey Gathright. They're the same guy. Except, as far as I know, Dyson hasn't jumped over a car.
He doesn't belong on this team. He doesn't belong on any major league team, although you could make the case to have him on a roster if he could pinch run for a hacking designated hitter type… A guy like Mike Jacobs. Where if you inserted Dyson in a tie game and that spot came up in the lineup with the game on the line in extras, you wouldn't be kicking yourself for taking out a good hitter and letting weak sauce swing the stick.
And he really doesn't belong on a team with fourth place aspirations.
Grade as a hitter: F
Grade as a runner: A
Kila Ka'aihue
Key Stat: Brought home only four base runners out of a total of 72. That's a 6% conversion rate. That's awful.
RIP Kila Monster.
Grade: F
Mitch Maier
Key Stat: Maier has a .405 BABIP.
It was clear from the start that Maier would have a difficult time cracking the lineup… Especially after Melky and The Frenchman were promised playing time prior to inking their respective contracts. Not that Maier would be an upgrade, but given the fact he's rarely moved his butt off the bench, he's done quite well.
Grade: B
Mike Aviles
Key Stat: Aviles' has a .178 ISO, which for a full season, would be the highest rate of his career.
In a little over two months, Aviles had three streaks: Sadly, only one of those could have been classified as "hot." That landed him back in Omaha once the Royals decided to launch the Moose era in Kansas City. I'm convinced he'll be back at some point, but it will most likely take a trade to Betemit to have this happen.
As it is, he's the ultimate Replacement Player for 2011.
Grade: D-
Mike Moustakas
Key Stat: Moose has brought home just three of 72 base runners.
Moose has struggled since he was called up from Omaha. I don't think there was anyone surprised by this development. He doesn't have the natural ability that pushed Hosmer to the head of the Royals prospect class, but he'll be fine once he sorts things out at this level.
Think of this as part of the learning curve.
Grade: Incomplete
Pitchers on Friday… Class dismissed.

In our eyes there are four genuine contenders to top the NZ conference. The Blues meet one of those in their season opener in Wellington.
In our eyes there are four genuine contenders to top the New Zealand conference. The Blues meet one of those in their opener in Wellington.
Mark Hammett's men in yellow and black were 2012's surprise package as they played a brand of rugby that caused all opposition real problems.
They unearthed the talents of Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara and Julian Savea while Conrad Smith thrived as skipper following senior players' exits.
Four points stood between them and a place in the play-offs, which was an impressive feat seeing as few had given the 'Canes a chance.
This year it is the Blues who have been branded as somewhat no-hopers in a quintet that should provide plenty of entertainment from now 'til July.
But can they do a 'Canes? While they probably won't challenge, we think they will shock a few franchises along the way with their young and promising starlets. Take note of names such as Frank Halai, Francis Saili and current New Zealand Sevens representative Ben Lam, who has been excellent on the IRB circuit this season. Also factor in something of a dream coaching trio of Sir Graham Henry, Sir John Kirwan and Mick 'The Kick' Byrne and their rebuilding job is underway.
Saturday's fixture in Wellington itself should be a high-octane spectacle that sees two key players clash at outside centre. Smith, as mentioned, was consistently superb last season while this campaign a maturing Rene Ranger has been given greater responsibility to lead.
Ranger has long possessed the necessary tools that should have made him one of the most lethal backs in the competition. Unfortunately, his route to regular All Black recognition has not materialised. This might be his year though – following Richard Kahui announcing his upcoming venture to Japan while Tamati Ellison is injured for most of the campaign – and we may also see a potentially lethal combo with Saili settle sooner rather than later.
All the ingredients bode well for a fantastic 80 minutes at Westpac Stadium as the 'Canes, missing Cory Jane, hope that Savea and Andre Taylor offer sufficient threats to get past a Blues line-up that has trained exceptionally hard during their pre-season. Don't believe me?
Prediction: It could well be a back-and-forth clash but we go for the Hurricanes by 8!
The teams:
Hurricanes: 15 Andre Taylor, 14 Alapati Leiua, 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara, 8 Brad Shields, 7 Karl Lowe, 6 Victor Vito, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Ben May, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Ben Franks.
Replacements: 16 Ash Dixon, 17 Reggie Goodes, 18 Mark Reddish, 19 Faifili Levave, 20 Chris Smylie, 21 James Marshall, 22 Reynold Lee-Lo.
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Frank Halai, 13 Rene Ranger, 12 Francis Saili, 11 George Moala, 10 Chris Noakes, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Luke Braid, 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Ali Williams (c), 4 Culum Retallick, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 James Parsons, 1 Tom McCartney.
Replacements: 16 Quentin MacDonald, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Liaki Moli, 19 Brendon O'Connor, 20 Bryn Hall, 21 Baden Kerr, 22 Jackson Willison.
Date: Saturday, February 23
Venue: Westpac Stadium, Wellington
Kick-off: 19:35 local (06:35 GMT)
Referee: Glen Jackson (New Zealand)
Assistant referees: Garratt Williamson (New Zealand), Nick Briant (New Zealand)
Television match official: Vinny Munro (New Zealand)

In the spirit of practicality — and giving you something to hold to account — here are a few ETF ideas for 2014 from Jack Otter and myself in this week's Barron's ETF Focus video.
None of them are especially exotic. They're bread-and-butter choices. One is Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) — the logic for which was laid out recently at InvestorPlace.
Another area: the battered municipal bond market. We didn't pick a single ETF in this video, but I'll have more on that later in the week.
A third is Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK).
