Another Downton Day in America. This week's episode S3E3 (E1 & E2 were shown on Masterpiece last week) of Downton Abbey led us on an emotional roller coaster. First it was happy days for fans as Edith's wedding was sure to be more fun than Mary's and perhaps we would actually see a wedding reception this time around. Meanwhile, Downton was in ruin and the Crawleys were sent off searching for a new home. In the end, the tables are turned: wedding goes down in flames, while Daisy saves the day by remembering that Lavinia had given her a letter to post explaining to her father that Matthew belonged to Mary and not her. I am still not quite sure how or why one would write a letter like that, or how Reggie managed to have amassed a fortune while Lavinia went under cover for Sir Richard to clear a huge debt that he held over her father. Regardless, Matthew can now claim the fortune to help save the day.

In this recent post to his blog Vito looks at something that could say you and your application some hassle (and from some higher memory usage issues down the line) - memcaching objects as their instantiated.
At runtime, a script sets up everything that it requires, allocating memory for variables and objects and all these gets torn down upon end of execution. There is no persistency beyond the notion of a session. [...] So, there will be lots of object construction and destruction going on while the user of a PHP web app goes about her business dealing with the same app. Here's where object caching with memcached helps.
He suggests using memcache to cache and retrieve objects as they're needed instead of creating multiples over and over again. It almost functions as a Singleton, checking to see if there's already an object created before sending out a new one.

WITHIN TEMPTATION vocalist Sharon den Adel and LEAVES' EYES singer Liv Kristine will perform tonight (November 2) with DELAIN at Broerenkerk in Zwolle, Holland. They will be reprising their respective guest vocalist roles from DELAIN's 2006 debut album, "Lucidity".
DELAIN is the Dutch gothic rock project founded by ex-WITHIN TEMPTATION keyboardist Martijn Westerholt (brother of WITHIN TEMPTATION's Robert Westerholt).
DELAIN released a new single, "See Me in Shadow", in the Netherlands on July 23. In addition to the title cut, the single includes three special acoustic versions.
DELAIN's video for "See Me in Shadow" is available for viewing on YouTube. The song is the second single from DELAIN's debut album, "Lucidity", which came out last year. The clip for "See Me in Shadow" was shot on May 8 "in a very special country cottage in Brabant, Holland," according to a posting on the group's web site.
In addition to Martijn Westerholt and Charlotte Wessels (vocals), "Lucidity" features guest appearances by the following musicians:
Jan Yrlund (ex-LACRIMOSA) - Guitars
Ariën van Weesenbeek (GOD DETHRONED) - Drums
Ad Sluijter (EPICA)
George Oosterhoek (ex-ORPHANAGE)
Guus Eikens (ex-ORPHANAGE)
Sharon Den Adel (WITHIN TEMPTATION)
Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH)
Liv Kristine (LEAVES' EYES)
"Lucidity" contains some interesting duets: Liv Kristine sings with Marco Hietala on "Day For Ghosts" and with Charlotte on "See Me In Shadow". Sharon den Adel's distinctive voice is a great counterpart to Marco's intense vocals on "No Compliance", whereas the heavy grunts of George Oosthoek combine very well with Charlotte's peaceful voice on a number of other tracks.
Watch fan-filmed video footage of Sharon Den Adel performing the song "No Compliance" with DELAIN on May 21, 2007 at Bataclan in Paris, France:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Xcel Energy plans to capitalize on what could be a buyer's market for wind energy this year.
The Minneapolis-based utility has told regulators in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas that it will look for up to 200 megawatts of wind power by April 1. The federal tax credit for wind production has been extended to next January.
Xcel regional vice president Laura McCarten tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press the utility could buy a wind farm outright or just purchase power from it. But McCarten says the utility is under no obligation to buy any wind power if it doesn't find the right deal. Xcel has no need for additional wind power until 2017 at the earliest.
Xcel needs to generate 30 percent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2020.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A lawyer for a former Texas businessman who helped orchestrate a $100 million life insurance fraud scheme urged a federal appeals court Tuesday to toss out his convictions and 60-year prison sentence.
A federal jury in 2011 convicted Adley Abdulwahab of Spring, Texas, on 15 counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.
Abdulwahab, 37, was one of the executives for a group of companies called A&O that used investor funds to buy life insurance policies from the policyholders at less than face value. Investors were supposed to be paid when the insured died, but A&O's partners spent their money on lavish lifestyles rather than safeguard the funds and pay premiums.
The scam claimed more than 800 victims in 36 states and Canada. Many lost their life savings.
Abdulwahab is appealing all counts of his conviction, but the 30-minute hearing before a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals focused on the money laundering. He claims that the commissions that were paid to A&O sales agents were essential business expenses rather than a distribution of profits, and therefore cannot support the money laundering convictions.
"They were putting the money back into the business by paying commissions," said Joe Gonyea, an attorney for Abdulwahab.
At the very least, Gonyea said, Abdulwahab is entitled to resentencing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica A. Brumberg said the trial judge correctly rejected Abdulwahab's argument on the money laundering counts. Even if the judge had agreed with Abdulwahab on that point, Brumberg said, he "made it crystal clear" that he would have imposed a 60-year sentence.
"It would be a waste of time and resources to do a full resentencing," Brumberg said.
Gonyea argued that prosecutors could not predict what the judge would do in a new sentencing hearing.
The appeals court usually takes several weeks to issue a ruling.
Abdulwahab was one of seven people convicted in the A&O conspiracy, which was prosecuted in Richmond because one of the sales agents and several of the victims live in the area. In a related case, the president of a Costa Rican company that sold bonds purportedly backing the "life settlement" contracts was convicted on 10 counts and also was sentenced to 60 years in prison. An accountant who faked an audit for that company also was convicted.

Sept. 4, 2006
Junior goalkeeper Katie Wright (Mission Viejo, Calif.) had a career-high 12 saves to lead UC Santa Barbara to a 2-0 shutout win at No. 29 San Diego State on Sunday. Wright, a transfer from Nebraska, had nine of her 12 saves in the second half as the Gauchos won for the first time in 2006. The shutout was the second by Wright this season and both have come against nationally ranked teams. In UCSB's season-opener on Aug. 25, she blanked 17th-ranked USC in overtime, 0-0. On the year, Wright has allowed two goals in 290 minutes. She has 21 saves, a 0.62 goals against average and an outstanding save percentage of .913.

I'm totally new to this programming lark...
C has many functions to perform specific tasks, stored in library files.
Why does it use so many different library files? Surely it would make more sense to store them all in one file, negating the need to remember which header and include files to place in your code!
Is there a way to learn which files store which functions, and where they are stored?

Amazon Still Playing Catchup To Netflix in Streaming Video — Analyst
Amazon.com has been spending heavily to bulk up its Prime streaming video library with exclusives and original content to keep pace with rival Netflix. So how does its content stack up?
According to an analysis by Piper Jaffray analysts, Amazon still has some work to do.
Among the 75 most popular prime-time television shows over the past four years, Netflix carries 32%, while Amazon carries 12%, according to the firm's survey. Netflix had 12% of the top 50 movies from the past three years, compared with 6% at Amazon.
Hulu Plus was the winner for television shows–with 51% of those–but just 1% of movies included in the survey.
Amazon has made up some ground on Netflix, however. A year ago, Amazon had 7% of the top TV shows, though it had a greater percentage of top movies–11%–than this year.
"While significantly inferior to Netflix, and even more to Hulu, we believe Amazon is driving video in the right direction by focusing on TV shows," said Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster. "TV series are easier to acquire, as the contracts tend to be non-exclusive and less locked up than movie content."
Amazon and Netflix have been duking it for exclusive content deals, including original series, to draw in users. And the battle for streaming video primacy took on new urgency with the recent rollout of Amazon's set-top box and its forthcoming Fire smartphone.
Representatives of Amazon, Netflix and Hulu declined to comment.
In an interview last month, Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos said he has begun to see customers signing up for the $99-per-year Prime service, which includes unlimited two day shipping, for the streaming video content alone.
"Over time, what's happened is people have seen we have some videos that are really good," said Bezos. "Some people sign up primarily for the shipping and they realize they like the videos and others sign up primarily for the Instant Video and realize they like the two-day shipping."
Munster noted that Netflix has an advantage as well with its original series, like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black," which have generated media buzz and loyal followings. Amazon renewed its "Alpha House" comedy series and has greenlighted several new series for the coming months.
For his analysis, Munster used data from Nielsen to determine the most-watched TV shows, excluding sports, and box office data from movie studios as aggregated by boxofficemojo.com.

Bulldogs Enter Conference Stretch Run
Related Links
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's hockey team (7-4-3, 3-3-1 ECAC) begins the stretch run of conference play with a road trip to the North Country to face two strong teams. The Bulldogs, ranked 12th by the computers (No. 14 by voters), are coming off a 3-3 tie at Boston College. They take on St. Lawrence this Friday at Appleton Arena in Canton before heading down the road to Potsdam to faceoff against Clarkson at the Cheel Center. The puck drops at 7 both nights on games that can be seen on the school's website broadcasts.
Yale took the last meeting in November, but the Saints have a 56-29-9 overall lead and a 7-6-2 advantage in ECAC playoff games. The Elis are ahead (5-3-2) in quarterfinal series contests. The Elis have played Clarkson 107 times since 1929-30 and the Knights own a 70-33-4 lead. Yale has taken four of the last six meetings after falling to Clarkson at home in November.
Yale 4, SLU 2: Andrew Miller hit the net twice and Jeff Malcolm made 32 saves in a 4-2 Yale win over SLU on Nov. 10 at New Haven. The Saints, who were ranked No. 13 at the time, had a slight edge in shots but went scoreless on seven advantages. Yale, unranked at the time, also got goals from Kenny Agostino and Trent Ruffolo.
Clarkson 1, Yale 0: Greg Lewis stopped all 22 shots and three power plays to get the shutout in net. Jeff Malcolm had 27 saves for the Elis on Nov. 9.
Seven diffferent Yalies got a point in the 3-3 OT draw at Boston College as the Bulldogs erased a 2-0 deficit with three straight goals. The Eagles evened it with a two-man advantage in the second period. The visitors had a 48-22 advantage in shots, while 21 of Yale's 48 shots came on six power-play attempts. Colin Dueck, Ryan Obuchowski and Andrew Miller found the net for the Blue, while Jeff Malcolm made 19 saves.
Sophomore defenseman Tommy Fallen has a three-game point streak, while classmate and fellow blueliner Matt Killian has a two straight games with points... Junior Jesse Root and sophomore Trent Ruffolo, who have combined for 14 points this season and were out of the lineup with an injury the last three games, returned to the lineup at BC... The crowd of 7,213 at Conte Forum was the largest to view a Yale game this year... It was the first tie in 55 meetings between the two schools... Assistant coach Dan Muse spent the last few weeks as the video coordinator for the 2013 U.S. Junior National Team that won the gold medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia.
SAINTS: SLU (8-9-2 overall) split a series with RIT last weekend at Canton, both scores were 4-3. The Saints have wins over W. Michigan, Northeastern and Maine this season.
KNIGHTS: Clarkson, 3-3-1 in ECAC play, is coming off a pair of losses to 2012 NCAA Regional participant UMass-Lowell last weekend at Potsdam. The Knights' most recent wins were a sweep of the home-and-home series with rival St. Lawrence last month.
Senior F Andrew Miller (118 gp, 30-99-129) is the 115th captain of Yale men's hockey. He has 6-8-14 this season and needs one more assist to become only the second Bulldog to get 100 career assists. Miller is also among a select group of college players who have more points than career games played. He has been ranked among the top 10 in Division I for assists the last three years and was voted "best passer" by his teammates the last three years. His two goals against SLU on Nov. 10 this year were a career-high. Miller, a 2010-11 first-team All-ECAC pick, had 12-33-45 that season and was fourth in the nation in assists. More impressive was that 22 of his 33 assists were primary. The 33 helpers were second best at Yale and a sophomore school record. His best offensive weekend as a collegian came in Feb. 2011 when he hit the net three times vs. Colgate/Cornell. As a freshman, Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), was 12th in the nation in points and registered the most (34) points by a Yale rookie in 25 years. The speedy forward was the 2008-09 USA Junior Player of the Year and 2007 Michigan High School Mr. Hockey.

Senior F Antoine Laganiere (Ile Cadieux, Que.), who is 6th in the nation with .64 goals per game, has 18 goals over his last 23 games, including a pair in the Dec. 2 win over Brown. He ranks 20th in Division I with 1.14 points while leading the team with nine goals. One of the most improved Bulldogs last year, he had his best campaign with 19 goals and 33 points. Laganiere (99 gp, 40-32-72), featured in a recent hockeysfuture.com article, got hot when the Blue needed it most; he had nine goals over the final nine games, including his first collegiate hat trick in game three of the Princeton 2012 ECAC playoff series. He scored shorthanded, on the power play and even-strength against the Tigers. He also had Yale's best weekend with five goals over three games, which earned him his first ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honor.
Yale junior forward Kenny Agostino (Flanders, NJ), who beat No. 2 Denver with a power-play tally in OT on Nov. 23, ranks 16th with 1.21 points per game in Division I. He has been one of the hottest Bulldogs the last two seasons. Agostino, featured in a recent hockeysfuture.com article, was third on the team with 14 goals and 34 points in 2011-12, while he earned ECAC Player of the Week honors for his three-goal, Feb. 17-18 weekend. Agostino (78 gp, 32-44-76) has scored other significant, late goals. Last winter, he scored goals in consecutive games with under 35 seconds left in regulation (win, OT loss). Agostino beat Dartmouth at Hanover with 34.8 ticks remaining, followed by a GTG against SLU with 34.2 left at home. His season-high was 2-2-4 against both UConn and Harvard at Ingalls in 2011-12. Agostino became the first Yale newcomer in 30 years to record five points in one game on Jan. 2, 2011. He notched 3-2-5 against Holy Cross and became the school's first freshman to tally five points in 27 years. Yale's rookie of the year in 2010-11, Agostino had 11 goals and 25 points and was the HCA National Rookie of the Month for January (8-4-12), the first Bulldog to receive that award. He was ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week on Jan. 23 (3 goals vs. Clarkson/SLU), becoming the only Bulldog to earn conference rookie honors in 2010-11. The former Delbarton School star had a goal and three assists before the holiday break, and 10 goals and 11 assists after. He ranked 11th nationally among rookies with .86 points per game.
Yale has a team-high 17 goals from its senior class. The juniors are second with 12 tallies. The sophomores are third with 10 while the newcomers have hit the net five times.
There are seven defensemen on the Yale roster, including one senior, one junior, two sophomores and three freshmen. The Blue blueliners have contributed six goals and 28 points. Senior Colin Dueck (Calgary, Alb.) has the most experience with junior Gus Young (Dedham, Mass.) a close second. Sophomore Tommy Fallen (Plymouth, Minn) was the team's rookie of the year in 2011-12, while classmate Matt Killian (Basking Ridge, NJ) has been in uniform for the last three games. Newcomers Rob O'Gara (Nesconset, NY), Ryan Obuchowski (West Bloomfield, Mich.) and Mitch Witek (Downers Grove, Ill.) have seen plenty of action this year.
Senior Jeff Malcolm (career: 2.85, .901, 22-18-4) has the majority of action in the Yale net this year. He started the last five games, including a 33-save effort in a 2-2 OT tie with Union. Malcolm, who has 11 starts this year, had 32 saves in the 2-1 OT win at No. 2 Denver on Nov. 23, which may have been his best as a Bulldog. Before that, Malcolm stopped 59 of 63 shots on Nov. 9-10 and did not give up a goal on 11 penalty kills. His 32 saves vs. SLU on Nov. 10 were a season-high. The Yale goalie with the most minutes and saves in 2011-12 was in net for two of the more memorable events of the season: he made 27 saves in the win over Princeton in the playoff series finale and notched a shutout streak of three (Colgate, RPI, Union) games and 226:39 minutes (parts of 5 games) in November. Malcolm (Lethbridge, Alb.) earned ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week honors after stopping all 72 shots in wins at No. 8 Union and RPI last winter. The three straight SHOs tied the school record but fell short of the Yale record (240:53 by Ryan Rondeau '11) scoreless streak. His career-high is 45 saves against Union on Nov. 12, 2011.
Senior Nick Maricic (Alta Loma, Calif.) got his first start and victory in a 4-2, 25-save effort against Cornell in the fourth game of his freshman season. Since then he has compiled 751 saves and 14 wins. His latest win required nine saves (no goals allowed) over the last 29 minutes of the 6-5 win at Colorado College on Nov. 24. He also had some big ones down the stretch last year that helped the Blue go 3-0-1 to close the regular season. He stopped 66 of 70 shots the final weekend on the road. He saved 52 of 56 shots and held Dartmouth/Harvard scoreless on 10 of 11 advantages the week before. Maricic (3.00, .895, 14-10-4) had a career-high 40 saves in the 2-2 tie at Quinnipiac on Feb. 25, 2012.
Six freshmen have been used in a game on many occasions this season, including three on defense and three at forward. The eight new Bulldogs come from five different states and one province, and bring experience from the USHL (3), EJHL (2), BCHL, AJHL and a New England prep school. They range in size from 5-foot-9 to a pair of 6-foot-4 skaters, while the average weight of the class of 2016 is just over 190 pounds. One of those big guys is Rob O'Gara, a Boston Bruins draft pick featured in a bostonbruins.com video this season.
The Bulldogs are tied for No. 12 in the uscho.com Pairwise Rankings, the system that most closely resembles the NCAA Selection Committee's. The folks voting for the uscho.com and USA Today/American Hockey Magazine all have Yale No. 14 this week.
The Elis won three straight games over ranked teams and are now 4-0-2 overall this season against teams with national rankings. Three (Harvard, Denver, Colorado College) of the four wins have come on the road. The other road game was at Boston College (tie), while the Elis had home contests against St. Lawrence (win) and Union (tie). Yale is 1-1-1 against teams currently in the top 15 of the pairwise rankings.
In addition to the Jan. 18 Harvard game airing live on the NBC Sports Network, Yale games at Cornell (Jan. 25) and Quinnipiac (Feb. 22) are on the network formerly known as Versus. The exhibition against the Red Stars aired on CPTV Sports, which also plans to cover the Feb. 2 Quinnpiac contest.
The weekend of March 22-23 marks the last time the ECAC Hockey Championship Weekend is held at Atlantic City. Next March, the conference championships are back in Lake Placid at the 1980 Rink, the site of ECAC Championships in the 1990s. Yale has won a pair of conference tournament titles - 2009 at Albany and 2011 at Atlantic City.
Yale has 10 games against opponents ranked in the latest uscho.com poll. Four opponents appeared in the 2012 NCAA Tournament and two (BC, Union) advanced to the Frozen Four.
The Yale roster includes players from 12 different states, two provinces and Norway. New York and New Jersey are represented by four players from each state, while Alberta and Michigan contribute three players and Illinois has a pair.
The United States Hockey League contributed nine players to the Bulldog roster. There are three from the British Columbia Hockey League, two from the Eastern Junior Hockey League and one from the Atlantic Junior Hockey League. Eleven Yale student-athletes came directly from prep schools.
The current Yale roster is comprised of leaders and scholars. Here are some examples.
21 Captained a hockey team before coming to Yale
18 Captained another sports team
20 Won a scholar-athlete award
14 Graduated in top 10% of their class
10 National Honor Society Members
4 Class Presidents

Yale and Fairfield co-hosted three (2009, 2011, 2012) of the last four NCAA East Regional Tournaments at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport. The Bulldogs competed in two (2009, 2011) of the three at the arena. The two schools announced in November that they have another in 2014.
Yale celebrated the re-dedication of Ingalls Rink (3,500) on Jan. 16, 2010. The rink built in 1958 has been modernized while adding 13,000 square feet of operational space. The additions include locker rooms and space for strength & conditioning (including skating treadmill), student-athlete study area, medical & training, officials, video, coaches, equipment, reception and more. There are new historical displays, concession stands and bathrooms for the building nicknamed the "Whale" because of its humpback-shaped roof.
The Whale (Ingalls Rink) has been a tough place for visitors in recent years. Yale, which enjoyed its first undefeated (15-0-1, only Division I team to do that) regular season at Ingalls in 2010-11, finished 10-7 last year.

The Senate gave overwhelming approval Tuesday to a final $42.8 billion fiscal 2010 Homeland Security spending bill after an extended protest by Republicans over the removal of provisions during closed-door conference talks among House and Senate appropriators.
The 79-19 vote sent the bill to President Obama for signing. The House approved the bill last week by a 307-114 margin.
The bill includes language permitting detainees held at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be brought to the United States for trial.
While that drew considerable attention when the House took up the bill, much of the debate preceding the Senate vote appeared to be orchestrated by several Republican senators who were upset over provisions left out of the conference agreement with the House.
"We're learning there's almost nothing politicians won't do to get out of promises they make in the daylight," said Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., complaining that conferees dropped a provision that would have required the Homeland Security Department to build 700 miles of double-layered reinforced fencing along the southern border.
DeMint reminded senators that a majority of the Senate voted to include the provision in the spending bill.
One of the dropped provisions to draw protests would have permanently reauthorized the E-Verify electronic system employers can use to verify the legal status of their workers. Another would have required employers to take action if the Social Security number provided by a worker did not match records with the Social Security Administration.
"People can have little confidence based on our votes here on the Senate floor," said Sen. David Vitter, R-La. "The conference committee work can be diametrically opposed to it on issue after issue."
But in the end, Vitter voted for the spending bill; DeMint voted against it.
Perhaps the only real surprise was the return of Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., to manage floor debate on the spending bill.
Appearing lucid and relaxed, Byrd defended the decision to remove language from the bill requiring 700 miles of double-layered fencing, calling it "too proscriptive and too costly." The bill includes funding to build a virtual fence along the border and to hire more Border Patrol officers, he said.
"The conference report strongly supports all aspects -- all aspects -- of border security and immigration enforcement," Byrd said.

Saints made the right move with Deuce
By Jim Mashek
There's always a lot of unknowns when you're talking about the New Orleans Saints.
Will Aaron Brooks finally turn the corner, and maximize his potential? Can the Saints' run defense stop anybody? Can Mike McKenzie be the big-time cornerback they've lacked for, I dunno, a decade or so? Will the addition of rookie tackle Jamaal Brown and free-agent acquisition Jermane Mayberry solidify a shaky offensive line?
Legitimate questions, all.
The Saints, however, can take a bow on one front.
They had the good sense to lock up gifted tailback Deuce McAllister, perhaps for the rest of his NFL career.
McAllister, 26, is the Saints' public-relations gold mine. He signed a seven-year contract extension, worth about $50 million, with the club at the beginning of training camp. The former Ole Miss star could have played the 2005 season with the Saints and then tested the free-agent waters, which, truth be told, can be a tricky deal for veteran running backs.
Limited tread on the tires, if you will.
The Saints play their second exhibition game tonight, on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. McAllister and the rest of the Saints' starters are expected to play into the third quarter, and Patriots coach Bill Belichik says he plans to do the same.
So if nothing else, tonight's game figures to be a better barometer of where the Saints stand than their dismal 34-15 loss last week to the Seattle Seahawks.
McAllister, for one, was pretty hard on himself after the Seahawks debacle. He lost a fumble on the game's third play, which led to the first Seattle touchdown, and finished the night with nine carries for 38 yards.
"We've got a long way to go," McAllister said afterward. "Speaking personally, I can't fumble. I thought my forward progress was stopped on (the fumble), and I basically relaxed. Regardless of whatever success we had, as an offense, it all starts with that turnover.
"And that turnover was mine."
McAllister has always been a stand-up guy. He donated something like $1 million to help Ole Miss build its indoor practice facility. He's opened businesses in Jackson, his adopted hometown. He was willing to underwrite the Saints' intrasquad scrimmage at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, but management decided that wouldn't be necessary, because they'd be able to cover the expenses for the trip to Jackson.
He's been involved in several charitable causes since his rookie year with the Saints.
McAllister should break George Rogers' club record for career rushing yards (4,267) in the first or second week of the 2005 season, but barring a serious injury, he's really only getting started. He's a terrific receiver, a decent blocker, and most of all, a decent human being.
He expressed gratitude to Jim Haslett, Mickey Loomis and the rest of the Saints organization for believing in him, for getting his deal done before he laced up the pads and hit the field.
"You always appreciate an organization that shows a commitment to you," McAllister said.
He thought about that quote for a moment, and added, "I don't think they'd let me out of here, anyway. My heart was definitely here."
Now, about McKenzie, the offensive line, Aaron Brooks and the run defense...

Sexyama's manager arrested for allegedly stealing $140k from the fighter
Fighting is a hard way to earn a living. When a manager takes a fighter's earnings, the sport has to take full notice, which has not happened in the case of Yoshihiro Akiyama, who was allegedly ripped off by his manager, five years ago.
The amount taken in not clear at this time, with the account of the incident referring to $1,000,000, and unlikely sum for a fighter at Akiyama's level. The amount give in Japanese yen, 13,550,000 is equal to around US $140,000.
AsianMMA.com has the story.
In 2008, Yoshihiro Akiyama wrote in a blog about his former best friend and manager and some shady dealings that went down. According to Akiyama, the two became best friends, then business partners. Akiyama trusted his manager with his entire bank, and entrusted him all his sponsorship and fight dealings.
Allegedly, in February/March of 2008, manager Sawayama Tarou took money five times from the account that held Akiyama's fight money earnings, taking around 13550000 yen (approximately US $140,000). Akiyama noticed in May of the same year when he went to withdrawal money for a new home, and went to the police about it.
Needless to say, the two parted ways.
In 2009, Akiyama was successful in a civil suit and proceeded with a criminal complaint. Little had been heard about the outcome of this until today, when the Sankei Shimbun published a report stating Sawayama was arrested on an embezzlement charge related to Akiyama. He was picked up in Osaka, Japan and will face charges in an unknown location.
According to the police, Sawayama was stealing Akiyama's fight money, and they caught him using it for a credit card payment.
The police are currently investigating Sawayama for other potential crimes.

The personal and adaptive alarm clock The Gentle Alarm 1.0 is a new and easy to use sleep cycle alarm clock for iPhone and iPod touch. Its patented mechanism serves to reduce stress hormone levels. Therefore it makes weight loss easier, increases skeletal muscle mass, improves cognitive performance, physical fitness and general health. The Gentle Alarm does not require an additional implement, such as wristband motion sensors, sound sensors or movement sensors.
Hannover, Germany – The personal and adaptive alarm clock The Gentle Alarm is a new and easy to use sleep cycle alarm clock for iPhone and iPod touch. Its patented mechanism serves to reduce stress hormone levels. Therefore it makes weight loss easier, increases skeletal muscle mass, improves cognitive performance, physical fitness and general health.
What is cortisol?
Cortisol is a hormone that is produced by the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland that plays different roles: Its primary function is to increase the amino acid supply to the liver when there are low levels present. This act, however, serves to increase protein catabolism. Cortisol also serves to increase blood pressure, blood sugar levels and will have an immunosuppressive effect on the body. Thus, when high levels are seen over time, there is also an increased chance of becoming ill due to a decreased functioning of the immune system.
What affects the release of cortisol?
Potentially, one of the largest factors that can affect the release of cortisol in the body is stress. When you are under a great deal of stress, be it from work, your relationships or financial matters, and if and when it reaches a very high level, the body will start releasing more cortisol. Also cigarette smoking is associated with elevated cortisol levels.
Cortisol is the body's primary stress hormone. When the brain stimulates its release in response to physical or emotional stress, the adrenal glands secrete cortisol into the blood. Cortisol helps the body regulate blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
It also is an antiinflammatory, an antiallergic agent and reduces the actions of the immune system. Many synthetic versions of cortisol have medicinal uses.
Studies show cortisol levels are altered in many people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, pain and overweight and could be what makes it so difficult to deal with stress, either physical (such as infection or exertion) or psychological.
Normally, it's present in the body at higher levels in the morning after waking up, and at its lowest at night. Although stress isn't the only reason that cortisol is secreted into the bloodstream, it has been termed "the stress hormone" because it's also secreted in higher levels during the body's 'fight or flight' response to stress, and is responsible for several stress-related changes in the body.
Small increases of cortisol have some positive effects: A quick burst of energy for survival reasons, heightened memory functions, a burst of increased immunity, lower sensitivity to pain and it helps maintain homeostasis in the body.
While cortisol is an important and helpful part of the body's response to stress, it's important that the body's relaxation response to be activated so the body's functions can return to normal following a stressful event.
Unfortunately, in our current highstress culture, the body's stress response is activated so often that the body doesn't always have a chance to return to normal, resulting in a state of chronic stress.
Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:
Impaired cognitive performance, suppressed thyroid function, blood sugar imbalances, decreased bone density, decrease in muscle tissue, skeletal muscle wasting, higher blood pressure, lowered immunity and inflammatory responses and slowed wound healing.
And other health consequences like increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat are heart attacks, strokes, the development of metabolic syndrome, higher levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL).
To keep cortisol levels healthy and under control, Clinical Neurologist Dr. Hans Joerg Stuerenburg, M.D., Ph.D. developed and patented an innovative adaptive stress free alarm clock, "The gentle alarm".
Compared to conventional alarm clocks, the revolutionary Gentle Alarm introduces an individualized, natural wake up procedure, which adapts itself to the users' particular needs within a few nights. This patented alarm clock is leading to a gentle and stress free wake up.
Sudden, abrupt waking in the morning as with loud, conventional alarm clocks and the associated release of stress hormones from the adrenal gland can be avoided by using this novel and intelligent self adapting, personal sleep cycle alarm clock.
Stuerenburg sees health benefits of this intelligent innovation in weight loss, stress reduction, increase of skeletal muscle mass, pain reduction, enhanced male virility and erectile function, improvement of cognitive performance, improvement of fatigue and better general health and physical fitness.
The Gentle Alarm is easy to use. In order to be woken up smoothly, sleepers will be guided from the deep sleep phase or dream phase into the light sleep phase by gentle sounds.
Unlike the hitherto existing sleep cycle alarm clocks The Gentle Alarm does not require additional implement such as wristband motion sensors, sound sensors or movement sensors. Users simply set their desired wake up time. After waking up, they merely slide a finger across the screen to stop the alarm. Everything else is taken care of by the patented and intelligent system.
The Gentle Alarm was developed for iPhone in collaboration with Craft mobile and can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes AppStore for iPhone or iPod touch (requires iPhone OS Version 3.0 or newer).

Hushmail swats code backdoor rumors
Safe as (straw) houses
Posted in Security, 4th August 2008 10:29 GMT
Web-based encrypted email service Hushmail has refuted rumours it stopped using software based on the source code published on its website.
Within the zip archive containing the Hush Encryption Engine is a Java executable (.jar) file called HushEncryptionEngine. But this isn't the same file found on Hushmail's mail servers, a poster to Cryptome pointed out over the weekend.
The behaviour raised concerns that Hushmail may no longer be safe to use until Brian Smith of Hush Communications stepped in to say that the wrong files were being compared. Rather than the Java executable, comparisons should be made between the applet in the source code and the applet running on Hushmail's servers. The other file contains debug information, so it does not match the file running on the website, he explained.
Although an innocent explanation for the apparent discrepancy was quickly found, it does illustrate lingering concerns about the absolute reliability of the service. For years Hushmail was considered a safe, reliable and straightforward way to send encrypted, confidential messages. But the revelation last year that Hush Communications, the Vancouver-based firm that runs Hushmail, was forced to hand over 12 CDs of decrypted data to US drug trafficking investigators has shaken this faith.
Hush Communications maintains that it only acted in response to a court order and it might be obliged to hand over clear data again, even if this meant sending a targeted user a poisoned Java applet or other such trickery. Users who needed more security ought to use the desktop version of packages such as PGP.
A section on the limitations of the service goes on to explain that viral infection on a user's PC can also compromise a user's Hushmail account. ®

Popcorn Balls for the Holidays
Too sweet and delicious to hang on a tree
Some popcorn balls are for sitting on a Christmas tree (or Hanukkah bush!), aging ungracefully. These popcorn balls are for eating. Yes, they will look pretty as holiday decorations. But you will have a hard time resisting their sweet, sticky allure.
Our three variations all start with the basic recipe and then go in different directions—they're sweet-hot, sweet-savory, and sweet-noggy. We want you to make them, and enjoy them. But maybe you'd do things differently. Take our basic recipe and dress it up—what flavors do you want from a popcorn ball? And not just flavors: We expect to see candy mix-ins, a massive Guinness World Records–worthy ball, the face of the Virgin Mary, or even more far-fetched adaptations.

California Department of Transportation
District 11 - San Diego - Public Affairs Office
Edward Cartagena
(619) 688-6723
May 27, 2009
SAN DIEGO - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) broke ground today on the next phase of the State Route 905 (SR-905) Project, one of the first transportation projects in the state funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act).
The $76.8 million project is critical to the flow of goods between California and Mexico, and will create an estimated 1,400 jobs thanks to $74.3 million in funding for this segment from federal economic stimulus dollars.
"This project provides a shot in the arm for our economy and puts Californians back to work," said Caltrans District 11 (San Diego and Imperial counties) Director Pedro Orso-Delgado. "It's a great example of how quickly and effectively we are getting Recovery Act dollars out on the street to create jobs and invest in our state's future."
California will receive nearly $2.6 billion in stimulus funding for highways and local streets and $1 billion for transit projects, and is the first state in the nation to obligate $1 billion of Recovery Act funding for highways and local streets, a feat accomplished two months ahead of the deadline.
Phase 1B of the SR-905 will build three-miles of six-lane freeway from Britannia Boulevard to Interstate 805 (I-805), an interchange at Caliente Avenue, and new off-ramps at Britannia Boulevard.
The entire SR-905 project will cost $620 million and will create eight miles of a new six-lane freeway alignment from the Otay Mesa Port of Entry to I-805. Annual trade between California and Baja California totals more than $35 billion, and border ports of entry process more than two million trucks each year, a figure expected to double within the next decade.

Pick your poison.
That's what Kansas football coach Charlie Weis said when talking about how to contain Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch.
Lynch, the Huskies' first-year starter, was named Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after throwing for 342 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday's 41-40 win over Army. Just like he's done so far this season, Lynch continued his success running the ball Saturday, finishing with 125 yards and a touchdown.
The Black Knights decided to gear up to stop the run, leaving NIU's receivers to work against man coverage.
Weis' Jayhawks head to DeKalb to take on the Huskies at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, and Kansas' first-year coach said Lynch's versatility makes him a tough guy to go up against.
"The problem with him is that he's running the ball so effectively in the read-option, everyone's trying to load up the box against him, which opens up opportunities for big chunks in the passing game," Weis said during Monday's Big 12 teleconference. "So I think that you really have to pick your poison here. If you bring in an extra guy down there to try to contain the run, and risk chunks in the passing game, I think that's a fine line you have to tread when you're looking at him."
In Week 1 against Iowa, Lynch ran the ball well, finishing with 119 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown run, although he was just 6 for 16 through the air. A Week 2 victory over Tennessee-Martin showed some improvement, and Lynch had the best performance of his career Saturday.
NIU coach Dave Doeren said he's seen his quarterback improve every week.
"He's just continued to each game get better at little things," Doeren said during Monday's MAC teleconference. "I'm excited about the progress he's made in three weeks."
Saturday, the Huskies will face a team that's struggled so far this season, with Weis looking to clean up the mess former coach Turner Gill left behind. The Jayhawks are 1-2 with their only win coming against South Dakota State.
Kansas ranks 91st in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense (433.67 yards per game). Against the run, the Jayhawks rank 78th (174.33 ypg), while Kansas is 60th in passing efficiency defense (124.05 opponents' rating).
The Jayhawks defense does rank first in turnovers. Kansas has forced 12 so far this year, which puts it in a tie with No. 1 Alabama and No. 23 Mississippi State.
In Saturday's loss to TCU, Kansas forced four fumbles.
"We've been giving up a lot of yards, but what we've done is we've done a great job of forcing turnovers. ... I think that now what happens, it starts to come a little bit infectious," Weis said. "Now they're counting on knocking the ball out, and I think that, in our case especially, winning the turnover margin is critical to us having a chance of winning."

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Announces Receipt of Federal Grant to Combat Piracy and Intellectual Property Crime
SACRAMENTO -- Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today announced that the California Department of Justice has been awarded a prestigious federal grant to assist state law enforcement officials in addressing intellectual property crime.
The $200,000 grant will be used to investigate and prosecute intellectual property crimes such as piracy and for the development of training programs for California law enforcement officials and prosecutors to improve the investigation and prosecution of intellectual property theft.
Intellectual property crime is the taking of someone's idea, such as music, a logo or a unique name, as well as the theft of any profitable new way of doing something. In recent years, intellectual property crime has shifted from the selling of goods in public places to the selling of Internet-based products.
"As technology continues to develop rapidly, thieves have moved their illegal activities to computers and the Internet," said Attorney General Harris. "This grant will support my goal of being at the forefront of investigating these crimes and assuring that law enforcement officials throughout the state are well-equipped to bring those involved in intellectual property crimes to justice."
Pirated intellectual property was once only available as a hard good – like a counterfeit DVD or Louis Vuitton bag that was only available on a street corner or at a swap meet. Now these goods are available at on-line market places or available on-line as a download. In these cases, revenue is generated not only from the sale of the pirated material, but also the advertising revenue generated by the Internet traffic that trades or views their stolen goods.
"California's economy thrives on the intellectual property of artists, creators, inventors, authors, software designers, engineers and so many other innovators," Harris said. "It is critical in California that we protect their creations from theft, misappropriation and counterfeiting."
Because traditional law enforcement jurisdictions do not exist on the Internet, it has grown increasingly difficult for law enforcement officials to determine which agencies are responsible for investigating Internet-based intellectual property crime.
The Department of Justice's eCrime Unit applied for the $200,000 federal grant to help fund the California Intellectual Property Theft Enforcement Program.
Last year, Attorney General Harris created the eCrime Unit to identify and prosecute identity theft crimes, cybercrimes and other crimes involving the use of technology.

Department of Justice Announces Eradication of Yolo County Marijuana Garden
2,000 Plants Worth $8 Million Seized
(WOODLAND) – The California Department of Justice (DOJ) today lead a task force that eradicated 2,000 illegally cultivated marijuana plants worth $8 million from a garden in Yolo County.
"Agents kept criminal growers from a $8 million payday," said Attorney General Bill Lockyer. "The Sacramento Valley has been blanketed with illegal marijuana. Our agents will keep pulling it up wherever they find it, whether in fields or subdivisions. I appreciate the hard work of these tenacious law enforcement agents."
Led by the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement (BNE), the Yolo Narcotic Enforcement Team (YONET) identified the garden through investigative intelligence and air surveillance. In addition to BNE, members of YONET include the Yolo county Sheriff's Department, Yolo County District Attorney, Police Departments from the cities of Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento, and Winters, and the University of California Davis Police Department.
This year BNE task force agents have seized 3,884 pounds of marijuana worth $15,534,512 and 102,604 illegally grown plants worth $410,416,000. Additionally, BNE agents working with the Campaign to Eradicate Marijuana (CAMP) have eradicated 1.2 million illegally grown plants worth $4.9 billion.

Orioles' Bundy unhittable in pro debut04/06/2012 11:43 PM ET
By Danny Wild / MLB.com
Fresh out of high school, Dylan Bundy looked more like a rehabbing Major Leaguer facing youngsters on Friday.
Bundy, the Orioles' top pitching prospect, struck out six over three perfect innings in his professional debut as the Class A Delmarva Shorebirds beat the Asheville Tourists, 7-2, at McCormick Field.
"I felt great, went out there and competed," said Bundy. "Threw my fastball mainly. For the first two innings, it was all I threw, but it felt good to be on the mound, see hitters in a live game for the first time since high school.
"I saw it a little bit in instructional league, but that didn't count. Happy to get back out there."
The 19-year-old right-hander made his first start since the Orioles selected him with the fourth overall pick in last year's Draft out of Owasso (Okla.) High School. He struck out the side swinging in the first inning and caught Jared Simon looking to end the second. Bundy cruised through the third, fanning Trevor Story and Rosell Herrera in between Will Swanner's groundout.
"I felt great," he said. "I worked well in the zone overall. When I did throw balls, I felt like over half of them were low in the zone and that's a huge thing for me, keeping the ball down. So that was huge for me to do. I felt great."
Ballpark radar guns had Bundy hitting the mid-to-high 90s.
"People told me 97 a few times, hit 98 a couple times," he said.
Bundy, whose older brother, Bobby, started on Friday for Double-A Bowie, pitched an inning for the Orioles in Spring Training -- an accomplishment in itself for someone fresh out of high school. He figures to spend most of this season in the Minors, despite being on Baltimore's 40-man roster.
He said he tried to soak up as much as possible in his time in Florida this spring.
"I mean definitely little things, the guys talking to me every day. You learn about things on and off the field, about locating your fastball to the pro hitters," Bundy said. "You've gotta make quality pitches."
Bundy also works in a slider, curveball and changeup. He entered the season as MLB.com's No. 10 prospect, and that was before suiting up for the Shorebirds.
For now, he's focused on adjusting to the Minors and sharpening his arsenal of pitches.
"I really wanted to try and work on my changeup, but I only threw three," he said. "I still feel like I got something accomplished throwing three -- two weren't so good, but the other I was able to stay on top of and keep down in the zone, threw it for a strike.
"I threw a couple curveballs, felt great with fastball command inside and outside, which is really key for me. I want to pound the zone."
Bundy's strike-throwing made him legendary on Friday. A glitch in the box score had him incorrectly throwing 21 pitches, all for strikes. Orioles fans immediately buzzed on Twitter about the team's future ace and his spectacular line.
"I wanna say 43 [pitches], but I'm not completely positive," Bundy said. "I don't think it's a pitch count thing, I was gonna go three innings no matter what, whether that was 50 pitches in three innings or 20 pitches in three innings."
Still, the numbers will be enough to get scouts and fans pumped. Bundy himself was pretty excited.
"Definitely, I was amped up, a little nervous," he said. "I think every Opening Day you get a little nervous, but after you get your first couple pitches out of the way, you settle in."
How fast do the Orioles plan to bring Bundy along?
"I'm not sure exactly what the huge plan is," he said. "I know they want to keep an innings limit for the year, but I'm not sure what it is. I know the first couple outings are going to be three innings, then bump it up to four, then bump it up again, but I'm not sure how many starts for each."
The 6-foot-1 righty left a scoreless game and did not factor in the decision. Delmarva took a 1-0 lead in the fourth and tacked on five runs in the fifth to pull ahead for good. Reliever Miguel Chalas picked up the win, despite allowing two runs over two innings.

The Rockford School District and the teachers union continue to negotiate for a contract before the start of the 2002, 2003 school year.
The union contract expired on June 30. A federal mediator is now being brought in to continue negotiations.
A federal mediator will be the next step to secure a contract between the Rockford School District and its 2000 teachers.
Chief union negotiator Tom Morgan says teachers have been working under the same contract for the past four years, and in the past year have met with the districts bargaining board 10 times, making no apparent progress.
The new multi-year contract teachers are trying to secure includes more than a one percent pay raise and extended benefits.
It would be similar to districts like Harlem and Belvidere, who serve as the benchmark for the area.
But according to the teachers union, the Rockford school district is far from matching those numbers.
Rockford School District Superintendent Dr. Alan Brown says bringing in a federal mediator represents a critical time in the bargaining process.
Both sides are scheduled to meet with the federal mediator on Aug. 13 and 14.
However the teachers union and district will come together once more on Aug. 8 without a mediator to take a last shot at securing a contract without outside assistance.


text: Been looking at some general areas, (don't really care if it antlerless or any elk) that are open in November as I don't have much time to hunt till I get done coaching football. Was looking at area 69 as a possibility. It's not a big unit, access is limited to hiking and horses as most is wilderness but it is only a couple miles to hike from a couple of trail heads to get back into it some (according to my Cabelas hunt app anyway), and it borders the back side of the Wind River Indian Reservation. Any thoughts on this or some of the other general areas that offer a latter season date. I know there are some up around Jackson but I'm not really big on fighting the big orange army. I'm not afraid of a hike to get back into some good country and I really am just looking for a decent opportunity to take an animal. I am looking into some of the late season cow/calf tags as well but haven't had a chance to go to Green River and talk with the biologist yet on those units. If you don't want it up on the forum please feel free to PM me. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated as I am trying to get some units lined up to go up and scout around this summer.

A quick check of the hockey calendar shows that we have a touch less than six weeks to go before the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the players' union gets blown to smithereens Sept. 15.
Pardon the hyperbole, but it's early August, nearly two months since the Kings won the Stanley Cup, and we here at hockey central are required to deliver such bombast to shake the greenhead flies and melting slush cones from your summer vacation.
Based on last week's negotiating sessions in New York, little progress has been made in the CBA talks. No surprise there. The union has yet to counter the league's initial proposal, the one with the ever-so-humble request that players hand back a giant sliver of the revenue pie, reducing their take of hockey-related revenues (HRR) from 57 to 46 percent.
Keep that 11-point spread in mind, because it's going to be the critical math that influences all of the rhetoric that gets dished out these next few weeks, perhaps months.
In a business that reportedly generated $3.3 billion last season, an 11-point swing in HRR represents a $360 million shift in wealth, from players to owners. And that's just based on last season's numbers. If the business were to grow another whopping 50 percent these next seven years — matching its increase since the end of the 2004-05 lockout — then we're talking an 11-point giveback on a $5 billion business by the end of the 2018-19 season. Take to the bank the fact that not a single NHLPA member will check a box that reads: "Shift $550 million to the bosses' coffers.''
The owners want other sizable givebacks and amendments, too, including a 10-year run-up to free agency, the elimination of salary arbitration, five-year entry-level deals, and term restrictions on contracts (no more ridiculous Rick DiPietro/Ilya Kovalchuk/Shea Weber deals).
"It will come as no surprise,'' union boss Donald Fehr told the media last week, prior to dashing to Europe to meet with players there, "that the players are not enamored with those kinds of limitations.''
Look, let's not forget the owners' posture going into and throughout the 2004-05 lockout. Business was bad. The owners wanted a fixed salary system that set in stone their labor costs, provided cost certainty. Got that. They wanted a 24 percent rollback on existing contracts. Got that. Above all, they wanted a partnership with the stick carriers, one that would grow the game, make it prosper. Got that, with HRR up by more than $1 billion since both sides signed on the dotted line.
Truth is, the existing CBA gave the owners everything they wanted in 2004 and '05, and now they want more of a good thing — which is to say more of the product they said they needed the players to help grow in a "partnership.'' But now that the growing has turned bountiful, they want a bigger portion of the harvest and, well, less of a partnership. No surprise. They're businessmen. They have money, and they want to keep making more and more of it, aided by a dramatic reconfiguration of an existing document that they said seven years ago was essential in producing a better, more profitable product.
There are reasonable, perhaps even essential, tweaks to be made to the 2004-05 CBA. The ebb and flow of business almost guarantees every CBA must change, for a variety of reasons, especially in an age when constant discoveries and innovations in technology provide new business opportunities and potential growth in revenue streams. We weren't watching NHL games on our wristwatches in October 2005.
What the owners need most today is not a radical new deal with the players, but a new way of dealing with themselves. They need to find a more honest, equitable, dare we say visionary method of spreading the profit and wealth among the 30 guys on their team. The 800 or so union members who play for their teams aren't the problem, not anymore.
The existing deal guaranteed owners parity on payroll via fixed labor costs. The game itself is balanced, with the playoffs a two-month roulette tournament, offering almost an equal chance among the 16 qualifiers to win the Cup. And the financial growth model works, quite well, considering seven seasons of the current CBA produced 50 percent more in income than the league could build in the years 1917-2004. Amazing growth, when comparing the last seven years with the previous nine decades.
This is a deal that needs to be nipped and tucked. That's all. The big issues can be pared, middled, modified, massaged, which inevitably means some shift in wealth back to the owners — not unlike what happened in the NFL and NBA.
To find the reasonable "middle'' now, it's up to the owners to find a better way of sharing the cigars, cognac, Lamborghinis, and private jets, all the spoils that come with a thriving business. If they shut down the game again, it's truly on them this time. The current deal proved them right. They've both grown the game's popularity and lifted the tide of revenue. They got their business in order and now they need to prove to be equally astute in sharing and managing their profits. That's really not a labor issue. It's an ownership, greed, avarice issue. They asked the workers to fix it last time, and they capitulated. Now it's their turn. Time for the owners to stop pointing fingers at the players, get a mirror, and add a little creativity to their look.
Teeing it up with Thornton
Bruins strongman Shawn Thornton tees up his third annual charity golf tournament Monday at Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton, with proceeds to benefit Parkinson's research. Thornton's family knows too well the often devastating impact of the disease — it claimed his grandmother — and this year legendary trainer Freddie Roach has sent along a bunch of boxing-related goodies from Manny Pacquaio's camp to be auctioned at the tournament. Roach, who was born in Dedham, also suffers from Parkinson's.
"Freddie's been terrific, sending all sorts of stuff,'' said the appreciative Thornton, a devotee of canvas and ring. "The Red Sox donated a meet-and-greet with Big Papi [David Ortiz]. Keegan Bradley sent along an autographed PGA Championship flag. And my pals at Caesar's Palace contributed a bunch of comp hotel rooms. And the support locally has been tremendous. We sold out 24 foursomes, and I bet 80 percent of those were Charlestown guys.''
Teammate Tuukka Rask, just back from Finland after agreeing to his one-year, $3.5 million contract renewal, will join the festivities. Daniel Paille also could be there.
Thornton was in Las Vegas two months ago to see the controversial bout between Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, won by Bradley on a split decision.
"Like everyone else, I thought Manny got robbed,'' said Thornton. "I'm a little happier about it all, I guess, because at least it was a good fight. It was great. They both slugged it out. So, even though I thought Manny should have won, it wasn't like I left there thinking that I wasted money on the ticket.''
As for what his crystal ball tells him about CBA negotiations, the always-frank right winger reduced it to a blunt, "No idea!''
"I hope we start on time,'' he added. "I mean, I don't want to lose any time, that's for sure. Their [the owners'] first offer, well . . . what is the right word? . . . I guess all you can call it is a starting point.''
Ftorek family suffers loss
Sad news from New Hampshire, where Anna Victoria Ftorek, 23-year-old daughter of ex-Bruins coach Robbie Ftorek, died unexpectedly July 21 at the family's longtime summer home in Wolfeboro. The "Bean's'' life was celebrated five days later in a ceremony there, with attendees urged to bring their memories, flip flops, and bathing suits — a sure sign that Anna knew the important things in life. She is survived by father, mother Wendy, and siblings Sam, Lucie, and Casey, as well as grandparents Stephen Ftorek and Nancy Bray. If you'd like to make a donation in her name, direct it to Up With People at Lexington Christian Academy, 48 Bartlett Avenue, Lexington, MA 02420. A poignant line from the Ftorek family in Anna's obituary: "Please call your children and tell them you love them.''
Not yet a Doan deal
Coyotes star Shane Doan remains an unrestricted free agent, with the Canucks last week the latest to try to woo the 35-year-old right winger to their camp. They've also put out feelers to aging pivot Jason Arnott, who worked for $2.875 million last season in St. Louis. Doan is believed to be looking for upward of $30 million over four years, too high for most clubs, especially the Canucks with their "Sedin'' ceiling of $6.1 million. That's a little deceiving, because Henrik and Daniel Sedin play as one, so it's really one player stuffed in two suits for $12.2 million. Look for someone to fork over the $30 million to Doan, but with the payout spread over six seasons (example: $8 million, $8m, $7m, $3m, $2m, $2m). In that kind of model, he would pocket $26 million over four years (right in line with Sedin average dough), and then decide if he wants to work the last two years for a total of $4 million — less than 14 percent of the deal's total worth.
What a bargain
I'll take "Gifts From Above for $200," Alex. Daniel Alfredsson, due to earn a paltry $1 million this season on the dummy year of his long-term deal, told the Senators last week to ink him to the 2012-13 roster. That makes "Alfie'' the deal of the season. His agent chatted briefly with general manager Bryan Murray about adding a one-year extension, but the classy, still-prolific winger opted to play out the season, noting that he very well might play in 2013-14. Which, of course, sets up the possibility that he hits the free agent market next July 1. Raise your hand if you are aware that Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli was Ottawa's assistant GM for most of Alfredsson's most productive seasons.
Next chapter
Ex-Bruins defenseman Kyle McLaren, still represented by longtime Boston agent Neil Abbott, is looking to make a comeback — but as a coach. "He's done everything humanly possible to get his knee to a point where he can play, but that's not in the cards, time to move on,'' said Abbott. "And look, he made it into his 30s as a player. For a kid who entered the NHL at age 18, that's pretty good. I tell kids all the time, enter the big leagues early and you've got a better chance of getting hurt, and those are the injuries that almost guarantee your career is going to be shortened. It's a big difference entering at age 22 or 23 . . . you're not a kid in a man's league anymore.'' McLaren, 35, is living in San Jose, Calif., where he played his last NHL games, and would like to return to the game as a coach in the American Hockey League or with a US college team. "We've had a few feelers, even a couple of close misses,'' said Abbott. "He's OK. He did well financially. He's set there. He can golf, play tennis. He can run around with his kids. Now it's just time to move on with the next phase of his career.''
Loose pucks
Arnott would be a good fit in Vancouver, offering second-line insurance should Ryan Kesler recover slowly from shoulder surgery, and third-line size, grit, and versatility at the very least . . . Bruins Patrice Bergeron and Jordan Caron are working out together at a rink just outside of Quebec City. Both are expected to make their way south in the next 3-4 weeks as more veterans return to the Hub of Hockey. Provided the NHL doesn't order a lockout, rookies will report here Sept. 14 (setting up shop in Wilmington) and the big boys will report a week later (with camp moving back and forth between Wilmington and the Garden) . . . Word from the Bruins box office is that full-plan and half-plan season tickets are sold out for 2012-13. However, a few 10- and 11-game packages remain . . . Peter Gabriel plays the Garden on Sept. 24. If there is no NHL deal in place, his "Red Rain'' could prove prophetic . . . The Bruins are scheduled to open their exhibition schedule Sept. 25 in Washington, followed by a visit the next night to Buffalo, where the Sabres have added tough guy John Scott and edgy, weaselly Steve Ott. Sabres ownership has lobbied the NHL to break from the institutional three-period format and make all games the best-of-three falls . . . If the Summer Olympics can accommodate the NBA's best, why not bring in the NHL's best? From the NHL business perspective, hockey would be a much better fit in the summer, Olympus acting as a tuneup ahead of September training camp. Shutting down the league midseason every four years for an Olympic break forever will be a tough fit for the NHL, and especially difficult on players who still must play an 82-game regular season on their "day job" . . . Teemu Selanne, 42, picked up a $500,000 raise, to $4.5 million, last month when he agreed to return to the Ducks. Might be the only non-CEO in North America to pick up that kind of bump at his age. Provided Dwayne Roloson (nine months older) doesn't find work, and 47-year-old Dominik Hasek doesn't make an NHL return, Selanne will be the oldest guy on blades this season. With 1,406 career points, he will enter at No. 19 on the all-time scoring list, 12th in goals (663). Teammate Bobby Ryan's tweet when the Finnish Flash re-upped: "That ageless wonder number 8 still doing it for one more year! What a beauty to be around. He's not bad either." . . . Another week gone, another week Roberto Luongo remains on the Canucks' roster. The Panthers have interest in a Roberto Redux, but not if it means surrendering star 6-foot-4-inch forward Nick Bjugstad, a University of Minnesota standout picked No. 19 overall in 2010. Entering his junior year, he went 25-17—42 in 40 games last season.Kevin Paul Dupont can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeKPD.

Colo. suspect fires on cops while handcuffed in cruiser
No officers where hurt when police say 32-year-old Isaac Vigil opened fire as he was exiting the back seat of a patrol car
By Alan Gathright
The Denver Channel
DENVER — A suspect accused of pulling a gun from the back of his pants while he was handcuffed with his arms behind his back and opening fire on Denver Police officers now faces several charges, including attempted murder and drug possession.
No officers where hurt when police say 32-year-old Isaac Vigil opened fire as he was exiting the back seat of a patrol car in the District 4 Police Station parking lot on Wednesday afternoon.
Police say an officer returned fire and wounded Vigil. He remained at Denver Health Medical Center on Thursday afternoon, according to the Denver Jail website.
Vigil is under police custody at the hospital. He's being held on investigation of attempted murder, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a defaced firearm. The last charge involves removing or defacing the manufacturer's serial number or any other identifying mark from a gun.
He's also being held on an Adams County arrest warrant for failure to appear in court on a case where he's charged with two counts of felony menacing with a weapon and one count of illegal weapon possession by a convicted felon.
Vigil is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday morning.
Sources tell CALL7 Investigator John Ferrugia that the handcuffed suspect pulled a handgun from the back of his pants, and that arresting officers performed an "inadequate frisk." The sources said that Vigil was wearing baggy pants, which might help explain how the gun was missed.
Denver Police were not officially commenting on how officers failed to find the gun, citing the ongoing investigation into the incident.
Denver Police Chief Robert White said the incident began Wednesday afternoon when officers arrested Vigil in the 300 block of South Elliot Street on suspicion of drug possession and the Adams Count arrest warrant.
7NEWS reporter Marc Stewart reviewed the Denver Police Department's Operations Manual procedures for searching a suspect who's in custody.
The manual clearly states "all persons taken into custody must be searched for weapons and contraband."
It also states that an officer must take into consideration: The "type of crime committed" and "knowledge that the person is carrying or has carried weapons in the past."
Along with drug possession, officers were arresting Vigil on the warrant for an April 8 weapon possession violation by a convicted felon in which Vigil allegedly threatened someone with a weapon, court records state.

Nosh opening its eighth food store – on Constellation Drive
Press Release – Nosh Food Market
Hot on the heels of opening in Mt Maunganui, Nosh Food Market opens its eighth store on Constellation Drive in Auckland's North Shore this coming Tuesday (13 Nov).
Nosh co-founder and director Clinton Beuvink says there has been plenty of demand from North Shore shoppers for a Nosh store.

"It's smack bang in the middle of a large residential and commercial catchment area and very close to the motorway. Plus we're bringing up to 40 new jobs to the area – it just has a good community feel about it," Mr Jamieson says.
Nosh will extend its VIP member scheme to the new store. A Nosh VIP-only morning on Tuesday features special deals, food tastings and demonstrations by My Kitchen Rules stars Simon and Meg. The store is open to the general public from midday.
Customers who spend $75 or more on opening day receive an exclusive free goody bag (while stocks last).

Teamlist IN for the NSW Blues ahead of #Origin I.
Full State of Origin teamlists 👉 bit.ly/2018Origi...
82 mins ago
At a recent basketball match between Wollongong and Canberra, the total lack of interest from the 4500 fans was amazing. Where the majority of any rugby league crowd is glued to the action on the field, the thousands who had paid close to $20 to witness a crack NBL match seemed oblivious that there was a contest on at all.
Arriving five minutes late with the 48 minute match in progress, the astounding scene of around 10% of the crowd walking around the stadium did not cease throughout the match. There was a continual procession of teenage girls circling the venue and people generally going back and forth to the canteen, toilets or to smoke outside. The PA man vainly tried to get the crowd to chant throughout the night, and despite Wollongong leading the competition frontrunners by 20 points, he got little support because the majority of people were not there for the basketball itself.
The Mexican wave is the ultimate guide to a bad event. Trying to watch the basketball, this annoying wave not only went around the stadium but sections that refused to participate were booed. If you want me out of my seat, sink a three-pointer from five metres outside the line, but don't expect me to join in a wave because your sport cannot generate any legitimate passion.
The cricket is not much different to the basketball. 'Fans' who have never been to a state match, let alone local cricket, seem to turn up with the main aim of getting themselves and their 20 mates on TV wearing identical shirts and wigs. The 50 seconds of dead time every minute also takes it's toll. The Wallabies also seem to attract these groups of wig-wearers who wouldn't know Randwick from Gordon.
At any NRL game there are the same type of people who go just because it is a big event, or to get on TV, however it is on a tiny scale compared to the basketball, rugby or cricket.
At NRL games the best action is the match itself, ensuring that appropriate attention is given to it.
All the Americanisation of sports is well and good if the sport itself is lacking. Rugby league is a battle for every metre and if there were no cheer girls, no piped music or no other entertainment, it would still be superior to any other sport witnessed personally, and they all have been given a go.
Rugby league has a future of exciting expansion if marketed correctly. It's fans know that it a great spectacle and one that will be embraced by new fans exposed to the sport. After years of decline, it is moving into position as a legitimate world sport and simply is the greatest game of all.

BUKOVEL, Ukraine (Feb. 23) – Veteran Emily Cook (Belmont, MA) took the third FIS World Cup victory of her career Saturday night in Bukovel. Her win capped a strong night for U.S. Ski Team with four women in the top nine – all matching or exceeding career bests – and Dylan Ferguson (Amesbury, MA) taking second in the men's behind Australia's David Morris. Cook's win in the season finale boosted her into second in the season long World Cup aerials standings. The team will return to its training center in Park City, Utah to prepare for the upcoming FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships in Norway March 5-10.
QUOTESEmily CookI am so happy right now. Tonight's World Cup was an incredible competition. I'm so proud to be on to of the podium but it makes me even more proud to have so many of my teammates surrounding me with incredible results. We have a really young team but the results they are posting are pretty spectacular.
Dylan FergusonToday was just awesome! I couldn't be more satisfied to be on the podium for the last World Cup of the season. The entire team competed so well and I'm so proud of Emily. Bukovel has been such a great venue for us and everyone worked so hard to make this event run smoothly. This puts me in a really confident position moving forward to World Championships in Norway.

— Basic human needs resources such as food banks, soup kitchens, housing and shelters, and rent and utility assistance programs.
— Physical and mental health resources, such as state health insurance programs, medical information lines, local and state health outbreak information, crisis intervention services, support groups, counseling, drug and alcohol intervention and rehabilitation programs.
— Employment support: financial assistance, job training programs, transportation and educational/vocational programs.
— Government benefits and services and support for older Americans and persons with disabilities, such as adult day care programs, respite and home health care services, transportation and other support programs.
— Support for children, youth and families, such as childcare referrals to licensed home and agency providers, after school programs, Head Start programs, family resource centers, summer camps and recreational programs, mentoring, tutoring, and protective services.
Mass 2-1-1 is not for emergencies; instead it serves as a valuable information and referral service to allow the existing 9-1-1 system to remain a community resource for life and death emergencies.
Also, Mass 2-1-1 has partnered with MEMA — the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency — to be the official emergency call center for Massachusetts in the event of statewide natural and other disasters, as well as other large-scale public health and safety concerns.
As your local United Way, we sincerely hope this helps to provide you and your family the support and access to services you seek in a time of need.
