Dallas: D. Nowitzki 28 Pts, 12 Reb, 2 Ast
Philadelphia: N. Vucevic 16 Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
PHILADELPHIA -- Dirk Nowitzki nearly did enough in the second half to beat the 76ers on his own.
Nowitzki scored 24 points after halftime, matching Philadelphia's total, and the Dallas Mavericks erased a 15-point deficit to beat the Sixers 82-75 on Friday night.
Nowitzki finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds, but he took over early in the third, knocking down shots from awkward angles and sinking the type of clutch shots worthy of the star player on the defending NBA champions. His five baskets in the third quarter were one more than Philadelphia's total -- on 14 fewer shots.
The All-Star led the Mavericks on a crushing 19-2 run. He hit a pair of 3s during the spurt to put Dallas ahead by three. He shook off a woeful first half in a big way, going 5 for 6 for 12 points.
"I had a couple go in, and we all know when a shooter sees a couple go in, the confidence goes up," Nowitzki said. "I knew in the second half I was going to come out and keep firing. I'm glad they went in."
So are the Mavericks.
Dominique Jones added 12 points, and Jason Kidd had nine points, nine rebounds and eight assists to help the Mavericks win their sixth straight game. Dallas snapped a tie early in the fourth with a 9-0 run, and that was more than enough with the 76ers losing their touch in the second half.
Reserve Nik Vucevic had 16 points to lead the Sixers, who missed 13 of 14 attempts from 3-point range.
"We just never could get anything offensively generated in the second half," coach Doug Collins said.
Lou Williams hit a jumper at the buzzer to give the Sixers eight points in the quarter and a 61-59 deficit. Philly missed 16 of 20 shots in the third and scored a season low for points in a quarter.
The Mavericks know how to hold on to a lead, improving to 18-1 when leading at the start of the fourth.
"Tonight was all about grit and guts and 13 guys being together and getting the job done," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.
The Sixers beat everyone from the East-leading Bulls to Atlanta, Orlando and the Los Angeles Lakers in building a nice lead in the Atlantic Division.
They blew their chance in a big way to add the defending NBA champions to the list.
The veteran Mavericks have eight players with at least 10 years of NBA experience. Nowitzki, Kidd, Vince Carter and Shawn Marion have hit big shots and won big games at every level of the postseason, while the Sixers' nucleus is mostly 25 and younger.
But they played like seasoned pros early against Dallas for a half, dishing out 14 assists on 20 buckets in the first half and committing only one turnover. Lavoy Allen had six points and six rebounds in the first quarter, while Vucevic made his first five shots and finished the half with 12 points.
Elton Brand's lone block led to a fast-break dunk for Williams and a 13-point lead. The Sixers took a 51-37 lead into halftime and appeared in control.
Dallas had the experience edge -- just not the shooting one. Nowitzki missed nine of 11 shots and Marion was 1 of 7 in the first half. In crunch time, however, the Mavs know they can count on their All-Stars to bail them out. The Sixers had no one step up in the fourth with a needed basket or key stop.
"We took advantage of our depth and our experience," Dallas owner Mark Cuban said.
The 76ers needed more of each.
Philadelphia's starting backcourt of Jodie Meeks and Jrue Holiday combined to go 0 for 12 from the floor for three points.
"We had a look on our faces of concern, and we have to do a better job of getting out of those funks like that," Sixers forward Andre Iguodala said. "It kind of lingered with us. It's a learning experience."
Nowitzki turned around after each shot in the third with a fist pump or big yell as he brought the Mavs back. All 12 of his rebounds were defensive.
"It's always a fun place to play," Nowitzki said.
Game notes
76ers C Spencer Hawes is wearing a boot on his left foot and will visit a specialist in California over the All-Star break. He's been bothered by an Achilles' heel strain. ... Jason Terry (personal) and Delonte West (broken finger) sat out for Dallas. ... Phillies slugger Ryan Howard was at the game.

Consider Sheldon Souray officially on the market.
The Oilers defenceman gave GM Steve Tambellini a list of preferences in the event that he is shipped out before the trade deadline, according to the National Post.
Souray was on the record as saying he'd waive his no-movement clause if the circumstances were to his liking, and he has since given his ideal scenarios to his agent and Oilers management, the paper said.
"I've talked to both separately," Souray said on Sunday. "The ball's in their court."
Souray is not necessarily asking out of Edmonton, but he is asserting where he'd be willing to go if a trade were to take place.
The 6'4, 223-pound blueliner could be one of many changes Edmonton will need to make in the coming weeks and months. The Oilers are a league-worst 16-28-6 and they have exactly one win in their last 18 games.
Souray signed a five-year contract in 2007 that is supposed to see him in Edmonton through the end of the 2011-12 season, and the 33-year-old's no-move clause expires this coming July.
"I just gave them my opinion and from there they will do whatever they want to do. I'm not really thinking about it. I'm not going to tie anyone's hands," he said, adding it was just business and that he was proud to be an Oiler.
"There were reasons I chose Edmonton, so the situation will have to be a good one for me to change," said Souray. "But they could wait (until July) and do whatever they want. Maybe they'll want to keep me here. Maybe they'll want to move me out.
"It's no secret my family is as important as the game."
Souray did not give any indication about which teams were on his list of preferences. The NHL's trade deadline is March 3.
Souray has four goals and nine assists in 34 games with Edmonton this season.
The Elk Point, Alberta native was selected 71st overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He has played for the Devils, the Montreal Canadiens and the Oilers.
His best season came in 2006-07 with the Habs, when he put up 26 goals and 38 assists for 64 points in 81 games.

The Most Powerful Man in Sports Is…Posted: November 14, 2012 Filed under: Weekly Issue | Tags: Arsenal, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids, Denver Nuggets, sports owners, St. Louis Rams, Stan Kroenke Comments Off
…Stan Kroenke. You had no idea, did you?
Sports' ultimate kingpin is a humble real estate tycoon from central Missouri whose properties, from the NFL's Rams to the Premier League's Arsenal, are worth some $4 billion. Stan Kroenke bought his six teams for the sheer love of the games – and because they pay off. Today more than ever, the owners of sports franchises are an assortment of oddballs worthy of the Star Wars bar scene. A recent Time magazine article noted that among the inaugural Forbes 400 list in 1982, nine members owned sports teams; this year there were 32. Kroenke is not only on the Forbes list but also in the top 100. Never heard of him? He's not bothered. Haven't seen him quoted? That's because he seldom does interviews. Senior writer Jon Wertheim gives an exclusive look into the world of the most powerful man in sports (page 70).

John Mayer is suing a man whom he says sold him several counterfeit watches.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , John states in his complaint, filed Tuesday in California, that Robert Maron , a watch broker, began selling him watches in 2007. They became close, with the defendant joining John on vacations and on tour.
John says he learned in 2010 that one Rolex he purchased was counterfeit, after which Maron refunded him the cost of the watch. However, John alleges, he discovered the following year that another Rolex he bought from Maron was counterfeit, too.
All told, John says, he was sold at least seven counterfeit watches. He seeks to recoup the cost of those watches, 656 thousand dollars, plus interest and damages.
John spent a total of five million dollars on watches from Maron, who reportedly has sold more than 10 million bucks' worth of watches to Charlie Sheen .

Test Center guide: Mail security appliances
Mail security solutions differ in anti-spam techniques, accuracy, false positive rates, and ease of setup and administration. We compare Barracuda, BorderWare, Cisco IronPort, Mirapoint, Proofpoint, Secure Computing IronMail, Sendio, Symantec, and Tumbleweed

Testing mail security appliances
I tested appliances from nine top vendors: Barracuda Networks, BorderWareTechnologies, Cisco Systems, Mirapoint, Proofpoint, Secure Computing, Sendio, Symantec, and Tumbleweed Communications. (See the links to each review below.) I tested each product with a real, live e-mail stream over 15 days, exposing each to 13,000 to 14,000 total messages, consisting of about 2,500 real messages and 10,000 spam messages. Because spam evolves very rapidly, and anti-spam signatures strive to keep pace (often removing old definitions to keep the database as small as possible), collecting a corpus of spam over a period of several months and then replaying it isn't a valid test of filters. Further, because most anti-spam vendors use the sender's IP address as a critical part of their detection of spam, replaying a collection of messages and spam from a single IP address renders one of the primary detection mechanisms useless, causing much lower scores for engines that would perform well in the real world.

Hammer of Doom News Report 11.12.12: Banned from the House of Mouse Edition
Posted by
Robert Cooper
on 11.12.2012
News and thoughts on Ted Nugent's inflammatory remarks towards the presidential election, Machine Head being "too violent" for Disney, Dave Grohl drumming for Queens of the Stone Age and more!
Welcome Metal Faithful to the only place where the cake is not a lie, the Hammer of Doom! I, as every week since Day 1, am the metal missionary, Robert Cooper. This week I saw the new James Bond (in IMAX...aye dios mio), and it was amazing, go see it, NOW!!!! I also watched my Carolina Panthers play like ass, and listened to plenty of metal in between college classes. PLUS!, today was NATIONAL METAL DAY!!!!
As for the column this week, we have news and 1 new download, that's not new, but I just found it. I list any upcoming albums, respond to YOUR reader comments, AND give the GLOBAL METAL pick of the week, this week coming from Suriname!
While you're busy googling that country, come with me to hear...

No Machines in the House of Mouse?
So apparently someone at Disney does not like Machine Head....here's the story....
Machine Head will not appear at the December 4 stop of the Dethklok tour at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, a property owned by The Walt Disney Company. Dethklok, All That Remains and The Black Dahlia Murder will still play the show as scheduled.
While no one is willing to provide evidence that would prove unfavorable to Disney, sources close to events have suggested that MACHINE HEAD remains on a "banned list", with the corporate powers at Disney refusing to allow the group to perform at the venue.
In 2007, The Walt Disney Company banned Machine Head from the House Of Blues venues in both Orlando and Anaheim, California, citing "violent imagery," "inflammatory lyrics" and "undesirable fans" as the reason.
You'll have to excuse me while I laugh my ass off...lolololololol..okay...done! That is insane, I know that they aren't exactly Barney and Friends, but still, you've got to be kidding me. I can see that citing the information about 2007 that this is a continued dislike of Machine Head, but if you look at 2 of the 3 bands that are playing the same show that Machine Head got the boot from. Dethklok, who are a cartoon band with outlandish and occasionally gory lyrics and images. Then you have the The Black Dahlia MURDER, you numbnuts, MURDER is in the name. Disney are a bunch of dumbasses, I know that they try their best to stay wholesome, but it isn't going to happen, EVER! They're still going to be that creepy uncle at the party that can hide it really well.
More of Men Arguing Like Teenage Girls
So just like it seems every few weeks here, we have some people bitching on social media (more on that, too). This week we have Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation VS. Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under. Ryan is alledging that Barnes sucker punched him after they started getting into an argument backstage about respect. I wont take anyone's word for anything, because this is all turning into a he said affair, and those are just plain silly.
But the aftermath of it all is that Cattle Decapitation are now OFF of the tour with Six Feet Under. He cited the fact that Chris Barnes wants all the attention for himself, and blah blah, and how he treats the undercard bands like shit. I have no information to cross reference that with, so we'll just have to take his words at face value.
Dammit, Ted Nugent, I still can't hate you!!!
So the US presidental election was last week, and I voted Rusty Schackleford for Board of Education. Obama won, and Ted Nugent was not happy.
I can understand being a bit cross with the results, but seriously, the dude was going into Rush Limbaugh/Ed Helms level of annoying. It is quite funny considering the Nuge's beliefs and his old lifestyle of marrying 17 year olds (Kip Winger wishes he could have done that) and what not. The dude is ol' Amurica though, so he does have the rights to say whatever the hell he wants, I just want him and Dave Mustaine to keep it to themselves over tea.
If I may quote a friend of mind on facebook/real life, "Congrats Mr. President. I may not have voted for you, but you have my respect and support for the next four years!". Why can't Ted at least say SOMETHING like that, and THEN continue his Nugentness? But oh well, I still can't hate the guy, he's so nuts, I have to find it charming.
Proof that Heavy Metal will never Die! VOL.11!!!
So over the past week in metal, we have gotten 'The Scarred People' by Tiamat landing at No.11 on the Swedish album charts. Even though I really have no use for them,Cradle of Filth's 'The Manticore And Other Horrors' got all the way to No.96 on the Billboard 200.
Also reaching that list was 'Afterglow" by Black Country Communion at No.48. I have to say that I listened to this album, and absolutely adored it, I'm a huge fan of Joe Bonamassa. Plus the rest of the band is on their game. the album is definitely Top 25 material. Finally, Kamelot's 'Silverthorn' got all the way up to No.79 on the Billboard charts. That blew me away, I had no clue that Kamelot were that big here in the states. Congrats to all the band, and here's to Black Country Communion staying together!!!
First, we have an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING compilation from Relapse Records, featuring a new Death remaster at the end.
Relapse Sampler 2012 by Relapse Records
The Deftones have their entire new album 'Koi No Yokan' streaming
Finally, Soundgarden are back and their entire new album is available for streaming on iTunes, go find it!
But don't go too fast with that finding, first visit with me in....
'Koi No Yokan' by California alt-metal band Deftones
'From the Vaults Vol.1' by Georgia psychedelic Sludge metal band Kylesa (I'll be reviewing this)
'Machine Fucking Head Live' by California groove/thrash metal band Machine Head, obviously a live album.
This of course brings us to the ALBUM OF THE WEEK. This week coming from the grave are the early 90s mainstays Soundgarden, and their new album 'King Animal'.
When you're finished with that, shut your computer the hell up so I can hear the voices....
First comment this week was short and from
Andrew Crow
,stating his dislike for Dave Mustaine, which I can totally see why he would say "
Fuck Dave Mustaine
The guy does like to run his mouth, kind of like this week's mouth runner, Ted Nugent.
Next short comment was from
armchair theologian
Thanks for the Graveyard video...those guys are awesome.
You're welcome, man, the new album is awesome, love the band!
Final short comment was from
New Pig Destroyer isn't really grabbing me, though I admit that I think they peaked with "Prowler in the Yard" and it's all downhill from there.
It didn't totally grab me until the last half of the album, but I can see why you it wouldn't grab you if you find 'Prowler' to be the best, I've herad bits of that album, and it was awesome!
The first long, discussion starting comment came from the Hammer's always present commenter,
Michael L.
The very brief discussion of Mustaine brings to mind an interesting question: who do you think are the biggest assholes in the metal business? Of course, this doesn't take into account their musical talent, but rather their personalities. IMO, it comes down to three, with one honorable mention.
HM: Jon Schafer--By all accounts he is difficult to work with at best, and he has an over-developed sense of patriotism, which is never healthy in a human being. Iced Earth could have ruled the metal planet in the 2000's if he could have worked with the same lineup for more than album.
3. Gene Simmons: And he'd be the first person to tell you so, even titling a solo album "Asshole." Simmons makes no bones about the fact that he's in it for the money, and he cane come across as a real dick in doing so.
2. Dave Mustaine: Another guy who is hard to work with. You don't want to get on Mustaine's bad side in a live show because he'll tear you to shreds.
1. Axl Rose: The obvious top answer, Rose is someone who never grew up. But unlike other assholes on this list and elsewhere, he likes to punish his own fans for his deficiencies. My opinion of him was cemented in 1992 when he ended a GNR set six songs in--after Metallica already had to end their set due to James' pyro accident, which caused a riot at the show in Montreal. Everything since has only been icing on the cake, from essentially blackmailing Slash and the rest to turn over the GNR name to him, to continuing to show up hours late for his concerns, to refusing to be inducted in the RNR Hall of Fame because he couldn't share the stage with his former bandmates for five minutes. The guy is just a prick plain and simple, and thus the # asshole in the hard rock/metal business.
So who would you have as the top assholes in the business?
This was answered later by
Mmmm...the return of a metal column to 411...AND THIS ONE TALKS ABOUT BRUTAL STUFF AND NOT JUST POP-METAL LIKE SLIPKNOT...schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet...
Going off Michael L's thing, I'd like to say we should take Gene Simmons out of there since KISS wasn't a metal band, ditto Axl Rose (long hair and a guitar doesn't make you a metal musician), and...
3. Varg Vikernes Not because he burned churches or killed Oystein "Euronymous" Aarseth, but because he's just a racist caricature of a little shit. I'm fully convinced that Burzum fans are just saying they are for credibility purposes.
2. Jon Schafer Sorry, Jon boy, Iced Earth isn't the pinnacle of perfection, and you're not even the best guitarist of your generation. Oh, what's that? MORE triplets thrown in to break up what would normally pass for weak Helloween riffs? Okay, Jon, talk about the Civil War again...
1. Dave Mustaine He's an amazing guitarist, a damn good songwriter, and important to the development of metal as a whole, but Christ, Davey, SHUT UP. Dave "Oderus Urungus" Brockie hit the nail on the head: you were better on drugs, and stop support Rick Santorum and the GOP since they've wanted to outlaw heavy metal since day one.
mentioned the lack of Yngwie on
's list,
later replied that he didn't want to unleash the fury....well player, sir)
First off, yes AndrewCrow, this is the Hammer of Doom, and I try my best to keep this the least core-y and pop-y degree that I can. Unless I like the band, then I'll allow it.
Starting with Jon Schafer, I really respect the dude, but I agree with Michael L that his sense of overt patriotism is kind of annoying, but it's overlookable. I had a friend meet him a few weeks ago, and he said that he was really cool, granted, all they did was talk Ron Paul, but that's all I have to go off of. Iced Earth is a band that I have a soft spot for, but not even I can overlook the botch that was the Framing Armaggedon duo of albums, they were not very good at all. The rest of the albums in the decade I like, Barlow and Ripper are two of my favorite singers. AndrewCrow also has a good point about the triplets, sweet Jesus, Mary, and Bill Cosby, Jon Schafer, calm down with the triplets. I did like the Gettysburg trilogy of songs, best songs to rock out to at the battlefield (I went there, and did the reenactment, it was nuts).
Gene is a dick, but at least he's honest about it.
Axl is someone that I think has talent, but not nearly enough to make up for the fact that he's a complete and total tool, as well as incredibly unprofessional. I had a friend in high school go see GnR in Charlotte, and Axl didn't come on till 1 am, and my friend didn't get home till 5 am, and his mom wouldn't let him go to bed because of it being a school morning. So fuck that guy.
Varg is someone who I think has some talent, I actually am a casual Burzum fan (bet no one has ever read that sentence before). I like what I've heard, but haven't really searched them out. The dude is a piece of shit, no doubt. If he were in a country that had harsher penalties for murder, his ass would be making shitty NES soundtracks for the rest of his life.
Dave....I am a huge fanboy of Megadeth, and I really enjoyed Dave's autobiography. That all being said, for some reason, the dude has gotten farther and farther into the duldrums of political radicalism, I hate radicals, by the way, too far left or right, and you annoy me, like congress. He and Nugent need to go have tea, though.
As for my Top 3
3. Varg Vikerness: The guy is a rascist, a murderer, and if I'm not mistaken, he is also a Nazi and a homophobe. 'Nuff said.
2. Axl Rose (if he counts as metal, I don't really count him as metal) , speaks for itself.
1. MegaDave: I idolized him, musically. But everything else is just a guy that has gotten more arrogant over the years, and he shits on some of his fans, like the ones that paid for his autograph...*grumble*.
Finally, the South American leg of our Global Metal tour if coming to an end soon, but for this weeks' GLOBAL METAL PICK OF THE WEEK, we get the only metal band that I can find on metal-archives from Suriname, I didn't think I'd find anything, much less some good death/thrash. The song is called "Eventus Belli" and is by Cross My Blessed Hands, it is from the album of the same name of the song, ENJOY!
Alright,so if you have any opinions on the column, some genre or country that you want me to feature in the global metal column, or if you just want to talk metal you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com, tweet me at @themetalcoop or sign up below and join the discussions with some comments!
In the name of the Holy Metal Saint, Chuck Schuldiner, I say unto you, KEEP THE METAL FAITH ALIVE \m/

Lessons In Cologne Absolue
When we met Sylvie Ganter for a bite on a recent afternoon, she was beaming. After years of working in the fragrance industry, her own line of scents was about to debut, marking the realization of a dream she seems to have had for, well, ever. "Twenty years," she surmised when we asked her how long she'd been planning Atelier Cologne, her five-piece collection that bowed at Bergdorf Goodman this week. As a perfume executive, she cut her teeth at Hermès (where she served as vice president of the U.S. fragrance division) and held posts at Fresh and Selective Beauty, where she met Christophe Cervasel, the man who helped bring her unique idea to life. That idea was to take the concept of cologne—a lighter, less concentrated version of parfum, also known as "body splash" by the uncouth—and update it with rich concentrations of essential oils (12 to 18 percent, to be exact) that still managed to retain a level of carefree freshness. Ganter and Cervasel's collective vision resulted in a new olfactory category they've termed Cologne Absolue. The initial offering comprises five unique scents, each of which has been devised in conjunction with a specific moment in time: Grand Néroli, for example, blends warm musks and vanilla with the sweet smell of orange flowers, which are frequently woven into hair wreaths and worn by brides on their wedding day in the South of France, where Ganter grew up. Other options include Orange Sanguine, a blood orange geranium eau; Bois Blonds, which combines soft woods, incense, and vetiver; Trèfle Pur, a violet scent sprinkled with green notes; and Oolang Infini, which features blue tea and bergamot offset by hints of smoke and leather. Spring freshness—until we can get it from the elusive season, we'll happily take Ganter's version.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The owner of a local nursery says it will close its doors because of a conflict with the City of Spokane.
Stanek's Nursery set up shop 99 years ago at 2929 E. 27th Ave.
Owner Tim Stanek says the store will close on Jan. 15 because of a lease issue with the city regarding the parking lot.
In a statement to his customers, Stanek writes:
It is bittersweet that I inform you of my decision to close Stanek's Inc., my family's ninety-nine year old Garden Center business. Our last day of business, as I can forecast now, shall be January 15, 2013. All inventory and store displays will be liquidated.
My decision is based upon a lease conflict with the Spokane Parks Department regarding a section of property east of my business that is used for our main parking area. I have rejected their lease terms.
On behalf of my Grandfather, my dad Frank Sr. and mother Helen, my brother Frank Jr. and his wife Charm, brothers Larry, Steve, Joe, my wife Jean, along with our tremendous loyal staff, we all thank you, our customers, for the patronage and support you have given to this small, community based, business.
Thank You.
Tim Stanek
A spokesperson for the City of Spokane says they have been working with the Staneks for several months to come up with a lease agreement for the section of property the business uses but does not own.
Marlene Feist said the Staneks made an agreement with the City several decades ago that allowed them to use the Spokane Park's Department property for free; in return, the family agreed to maintain a retaining wall and landscaping on the piece of property in question.
The Staneks approached the City earlier this year asking for clear rights to the land so they could sell the business. Feist said the City cannot sell City Park land without a vote of the people. In August, the City came to the Staneks with a lease offer, which they declined, Feist said. She added the Staneks' informed the City their planned closure date was January 15, 2013.

Once a week, reporters get to gather around the Lambeau Field locker of Aaron Rodgers to get his thoughts on the team and the upcoming game. Unlike his predecessor Brett Favre, who conducted weekly press conferences at the podium in the media auditorium, Rodgers likes to hold his session in the locker room, where every other player talks to reporters. Today was the day and it obviously brings a crowd, a dozen writers, that many radio reporters and maybe 10 TV cameras and microphones all crushed in a semi-circle only a few feet from his locker. After what seemed a longer wait than usual, Rodgers finally strolled toward the crowd and just as he stepped into the breach, he retreated and asked a reporter if he'd be so kind to get something out of his bench which doubles as a chest for shoes, hats and the like. When the reporter reached for the bench lid, out jumped a costumed and masked zombie-like creature. With a shriek, he lept out of the cubby and ran off while the stunned press corps at first yelped, but then burst into laughter. Score one for the MVP, he spooked the media on Halloween. Rodgers said the best part of the stunt (which alledgedly involved equipment manager Red Batty as the accomplice), was that the trick of this trick or treat day, sweated out 40 minutes in the locker before making his surprise entrance. Happy Halloween.
I know it's Thursday but on the Packer calendar it's a Wednesday because of the Monday night game against the Bears. So the team hit the practice field for the first time for game plan installation day. The first injury report of the week also came out. Jermichael Finley and Clay Matthews have both been ruled out. Mike McCarthy didn't have any updates on Finley's condition today but he was at the building Wednesday to be a part of the team photo. McCarthy said he visited with Finley and he looks great but it's going to be a long process. Matthews will have the pins taken out of his surgically repaired broken thumb next Monday. Nick Perry did not participate after doing some practice work last week. McCarthy said the broken foot just isn't coming around as well as they'd hoped. James Jones was a limited participant but actually did very little during team periods. Tight end Ryan Taylor was also limited with his knee injury and there's a chance he might return against Chicago. Brad Jones is also close to a return from his hamstring injury. He was a full participant.
Down in Chicago, Jay Cutler, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, all three key players, did not practice. Cutler and Briggs are both out for the trip to Lambeau although Cutler indicated this week the groin injury shouldn't take the full month to heal.
Some league honors came the Packers way today. Mason Crosby piled up 50 points in the month of October alone and today was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the month. Mason moved past both Chris Jacke and Don Hutson this month to trail only Ryan Longwell on the Packers' all time franchise scoring list. He's hit 17 of 19 field goals and all 23 extra points, good for 74 points on the season. After practice Mason talked about the award and how he's rebounded strongly from his most challenging season as a pro.
The other award announced today was the first honor for second round draft pick Eddie Lacy. The Alabama running back was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Month for October. Over the last four games, Lacy has piled up 395 yards rushing, more than any back in the league over that span. He leads all rookies in rushing with 446 yards on the season.

Oakdale improved to 15-4-4 overall with a 4-1 win at home against East Union on Oct. 22, dropping the Lancers to 3-12-2 overall this season. They took a 2-0 win against Kimball on the road (Oct. 24) and claimed the Valley Oak League title with a Monday, Oct. 28 2-2 tie with 15-5-3 Weston Ranch. Goals from senior Davis Harper and sophomore David Serrano helped the Mustangs officially clinch the Valley Oak League title, getting the lone point they needed with the draw.
For the second year in a row, the Class of 2014 – "Best You've Seen" according to their motto – claimed the Homecoming Week Powder Puff championship.
Homecoming Week is only considered complete when the varsity football team comes up with a victory.
Oakdale's varsity Lady Mustangs downed Weston Ranch at home 25-17, 25-16, 25-16 on the volleyball court, keeping their home record spotless at 7-0 and dropping the Cougars to 5-8 overall. Christina Cobarruvias had six aces on the game for Oakdale, while Lauren Ott, Kaitlyn Van Ryn, Jennifer Guzman and Brittany Carpenter had several kills each.
Oakdale's women's water polo team improved to 11-2, 2-0 in league play with a 15-1 win at home over Ripon this week. Unfortunately the Indians got revenge on the other side, topping the Mustang boys.
Oakdale netters topped Weston Ranch in action on Sept. 26, hosting their Valley Oak League counterpart.
Anger? Anxiety? Apprehension?
A spectacular cross country showing highlighted recent prep action at Oakdale High. Following is a summary of results from multiple sports.
Fresh off a 4-3 run through the ultra-tough High Sierra Tournament in Reno, Oakdale High's battle-tested volleyball players made short work of Beyer, Merced and Ripon in consecutive matches on consecutive days.
It was apparent after a 21-20 defeat on Friday, that the familiar splash of scarlet and gold stretched in stripes along white uniforms was the only glimpse of the storied Oakdale High rushing attack that die-hard Mustang football fans have grown accustomed to.
Oakdale High's freshman football team got the ball rolling with a 21-20 victory over Turlock on Friday, setting the table for thrilling games across all three levels.
If missing plug-ins do not allow the video to play, visit http://www.oakdaleleader.com/multimedia/ to download this video of Oakdale vs. Turlock football.
With the preseason winding down, Oakdale's fall sports are gearing up for league play, with some already into their league schedule. The following is a quick glance at some of the Mustangs' week in review.
If you were anywhere in the city limits of Oakdale on Friday night, odds are you could probably hear the stomping of the feet from both Oakdale and Turlock fans hitting the bleachers, roars from both sides of the field, the hard hits or even the rich voice of Mustang announcer Pete Simoncini. However, if you didn't witness the Mustangs late fourth quarter heroics live from The Corral, you missed something special. The varsity Mustangs found themselves on the winning end of a 30-29 nail bitter against visiting Turlock in non-league play.
With a solid 3-2-3 record thus far, coach Alfredo Quiroga and the Oakdale High School boys soccer team are optimistic about the upcoming regular season.
Friday night football is back at The Corral as the Mustangs hosted longtime rivals, the Sonora Wildcats in the 2014 season opener. Even though Sonora is no longer in the Valley Oak League, the rivalry between the two schools went on for 91 years in league play and still holds up as a big rivalry in California.
The long awaited Oakdale High School football 2014 season is under way. After spring and summer workouts, two-a-days once practices could officially begin earlier this month, and team meetings, the Mustangs hosted a home scrimmage against the Tracy Bulldogs on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Thirty-two local sports legends – including an Oakdale icon – will be inducted into the 2014 Sac-Joaquin Section Hall of Fame later this month. Representing Oakdale High School is decorated basketball coach and athletic director Norm Antinetti.
With school starting up this week, the athletic programs don't waste any time, as many of the practices for the fall campaign will start on Monday, Aug. 11. Here is a brief rundown of the teams that will be hitting the playing fields and courts this fall.

Prior to a horrific crash suffered at
the Shenandoah 100 is 2011, Mike Simonson was a working man's hero on
the NUE ciruit. The Michgian based Simonson, also known as the
Simonster, was regularly at the front of NUE races with the likes of
Jeff Schalk and Jeremiah Bishop, despite working a full time job
during the week.
That 2011 crash and his subsequent
return the sport forced Simonson to reassess his priorities and
goals, however, and he's coming into 2013 with a new team and a new
focus. Simonson was kind enough to take a few minutes to check in
with MTBRacenews.com about his goals for 2013, his new bike, and what
he sees as the future of endurance racing.
MTBRacenews.com: You had a
horrible crash in the 2011 Shenandoah 100 while racing for a top spot
in the NUE Overall Standings. How long did it take you to come back
from that accident? Did that experience effect your attitude towards
racing or mountain biking more generally?
Mike Simonson: I was fortunate
to be able to make a full recovery from the crash. I bounced right
back to the sport before I even realized what I had been through.
Coming back and racing the Shenandoah course in 2012 really made me
realize how close to the edge this sport can get. I made it a goal to
come back and race down the same stretch of downhill that almost took
my life, but when I got there I just thought to myself "why the
hell are you doing this!?" After that race, I decided to draw the
line on the types of racing and courses to what felt safe to me. I
used to push myself to try and ride everything, no matter how sketchy
it was, but nowadays, I'll stop and just ponder on what I'm
getting out of putting myself into an out of control situation.
Broken bones are certainly not fun.
MTBRacenews.com: What are your
main goals for 2013? Word is you're moving away from NUE races.
Mike Simonson: I have been
chasing an NUE win for almost 5 years now. I've had a few 2ndplaces on courses that are good for me, and a much harder time just
getting onto the podium at most of the others. Turns out the best 2
NUE's for me are only 2 weeks apart at Mohican 100, and Lumberjack
100. They're also the closest to home. So I decided to make a
little "compact mini" NUE run at the 2 races I have the best
chances in, instead of slogging out a whole season. This also leaves
time for me to focus on other styles of racing I'd like to try, for
example Ultra Cross (think Southern Cross) and Gravel Grinder (think
Barry Roubaix) events which are really gaining popularity. Hopefully
it helps me develop and keep a little bit of that speed I used to
have for events later in the season like Ore to Shore and Iceman. It
actually times out quite well to about 4 little mini peaks, and I can
take a week off here and there in between.
MTBRacenews.com: You've talked
some before about the toll NUE racing takes on racers. Is that part
of why you're moving away from that format? Do you think we'll see a
change to a shorter format in those races over time?
Mike Simonson: Yes, the NUE's
definitely take their tolls. I might be one of the toughest most
determined guys you'll ever meet, but that's still not enough
when it comes to the abuse these races put you through season after
season. Don't get me wrong, I still love the NUE events though. A
typical NUE week starts the weekend before and is a 7-8 day mad
scramble. You die at hr 4 then continue to drag your half dead
carcass across the finish line for another 3hrs and before you know
it, you're sitting in your office chair on Monday, every muscle in
your body hurts, and all you want to do is fall on the floor and take
a nap right on the nasty carpet. You try doing that 7-8 times a
season and your body just can't keep up. You can't train because
you're tired for at least a week, then in turn you start gaining
weight, the fitness suffers, and you eventually just keep getting
slower and slower. I would love to see these races shortened to
about 50-60 miles with a 50/50 mix of moderate trails and roads. It
would also be nice if the amount of climbing was toned down a bit so
the bigger guys had more of a chance. It would help keep the pack
together longer, which is much more fun than riding alone all day.
MTBRacenews.com: With the change
in focus came a change in sponsors. Who are you riding for this
season? What prompted the switch?
Mike Simonson: I'm proud to be
rocking a local fabricator right here from Michigan called 616
Fabrications. They're out of the Grand Rapids area and are a really
cool bunch of guys. Custom frames made by local fabricators are the
hottest thing going on right now. All you have to do is check out the
NAHBS coverage and you'll see what I mean. It's sort of a trend
developing right out of the vein of small business entrepreneurs
offering up unique American made products with a little bit of style
and American attitude. If you're in the market for a new frame, 616
is definitely worth checking out. After Notubes decided to back off
on their sponsorship for 2013, I decided to keep right on going with
the Michigan theme and contacted Velocity USA about doing wheels.
They jumped at the idea. They make awesome wheels right here in
Michigan. The Blunt SL's and the A23's are both really nice
lightweight competitive options.
MTBRacenews.com: You have a
pretty unique race bike. Can you describe some of your favorite
features? What does it weigh in at?
Mike Simonson: The bike I raced
at Southern Cross is a stainless steel 616 frame decked out with the
new SRAM XX1 group. I had it weighing right at 18.0lbs with a rigid
carbon fork. I love the way stainless steel rides. It's a little
bit stiffer than regular steel. When you hit bumps it feels more like
a damped thud, rather than a harsher crashy sort of feel. I really
like it.
MTBRacenews.com: How has your
training changed as you make the switch from NUE races to shorter,
more explosive races?
Mike Simonson: I quit doing the
long training rides. I'm not sure they're really necessary
anyways. I think a good training ride is about 4hrs. Any longer and
it's hard to recover for a good training ride the next day. So
instead of one 6-7hr day, I'll do three 4hr days in a row of sweet
spot high tempo training. That's sort of how I did my base this
year. I've been getting on my indoor spin bike and holding the
highest average wattage I can for 4hrs or until I pass out and fall
off the seat. I was also able to work in 3 different blocks of 9-10
days in a row where I could really rack up the hrs. Of course
pre-season will have to go with even shorter more intense interval
type rides until the race season gets going. I really like doing the
scooter pacing workouts too, but I can't talk anyone into driving
the scooter until it's at least 50 degrees outside. I don't know…
we'll see how it works. You have keep trying different methods and
training approaches to figure what works for you. I'm sure a coach
could just send me a calendar of all the training rides I need to do,
but that's just not as fun as trying to figure it all out yourself.
MTBRacenews.com: You're not a
full time bike racer. What is your "real" job? How do you balance
work and racing?
Mike Simonson: Well actually my
real job IS a bike racer and my engineering job at the DoD pays the
bills. At least I like to pretend it's that way. Fortunately my
work schedule is very flexible and my boss and coworkers are all
super cool about the bike racing. We get quite a bit of time off.
It's a good place to work if you're a bike racer. It's
interesting you bring up that question, because congress just told us
we're getting one furlough day per week starting in April and
ending in September. Which means I get a pay cut, but it also means I
only work four 8hr days per week, so I'll have an extra day for
racing and training. I can't say I'm all that bummed about that.
MTBRacenews.com: What about
mountain biking keeps you motivated and heading back to races weekend
after weekend?
Mike Simonson: I don't really
know the answer to that question. I suppose it just feels natural to
me. I seem to love it. It's what I feel like I was born to do. I'm
super competitive and have to be pushed to the limit. There's
something about walking away after that which leaves you in a state
of balance and euphoria. And when it wears off, you're looking for
the next race to test yourself. The whole scene is full of really
cool down to Earth people who are always so supportive and "get"
MTBRacenews.com: As someone
who's travelled around the country to races quite a bit, do you have
any tips for traveling on a budget?
Mike Simonson: Let's see… A
fuel efficient vehicle is a must, and typically one that's big
enough to cram an extra travel companion in to share the gas expenses
with. I bought a $50 AAA membership for the year, and it's always
good for 10% off hotels, and a tow to a dealership if you get
stranded with a broken car. Look for Hostels in the area. They're
usually in the BFE area's where mountain bike races are held, and
generally quite a bit cheaper to stay at. There's camping too, but
that may be a little ambitious at times. A hotel the night before the
big race is always a good investment to ensure a decent nights sleep.
My wife and I have driven right through Saturday night quite a few
times to save on a hotel, then just crash out all day Sunday. I only
recommend that for advanced road trippers though.
MTBRacenews.com: What's your
favorite lunch on a long training ride?
Mike Simonson: Over the years,
I've switched to an all liquid diet for races, and now even for
training. I think it's a better way to go to prevent dehydration.
With Infinit Nutrition as a full sponsor this year, it makes it super
easy to blend the right concentration of calories/water for those
long days. It's a little more difficult in the winter months due to
freezing temps, so what I have been doing is wearing my camelback
under my coat filled with Infinits Endurance formula. That stops the
fluid from freezing. I used to have 3 or 4 different powders, gels,
or bars I would blend all together. I've tried them all, Gatorade,
Powerbars, Clif bars, Powergels, Hammer, Nuun, etc… it was like a
big confusing science project getting it all just right. It takes a
lot of time the night before a race too or the morning of a training
too. With Infinit, you can just have them blend exactly what you want
and it comes in one single bag. No mess, no science project, and it
cuts my pre-race bottle prep time in half. So much less of a hassle.
Thanks MTBracenews for giving me the
opportunity to update. I'm super excited about the new schedule and
sponsors for 2013. I hope it turns out to be one of the best seasons

We are proud to have an exceptionally high rate of repeat travelers. For more information, we would be happy to put you in touch with a client who has traveled with us.
Departure Notes
Once you have signed up on the trip, we send a complete packing list, relevant health information, and required travel documents.
Repertory Trip
This is one of our special Repertory Trips offered every two to five years. It will be several years before this journey is offered again. Now is the time to go!
In Tonga's enchanting Ha'apai Islands, we paddle sea kayaks, snorkel amid an abundance of dazzling tropical fish, and delight in encounters with the humpback whales who migrate here annually to court, mate, and bear their young. This is one of the few places in the world where you can swim right alongside these majestic creatures, and our heart-pounding experiences may include witnessing mother-calf interactions. Along the way, we meet the Ha'apai islanders, the friendliest in the Tongan kingdom, who welcome us with time-honored hospitality and Polynesian 'umu feasts. Swimming with whales, fabulous snorkeling, sea kayaking in crystalline waters, overnights in traditional beach lodges set on white-sand beaches—this is adventure in the South Seas!
Itinerary at a Glance

Days 1-5
Auckland, New Zealand / Foa Island, Tonga / Whale Watching and Swimming
Meeting in Auckland, we fly to the remote Ha'apai Islands, a group of low, coral islands with vibrant reefs and miles of deserted picture-perfect beaches. From our comfortable lodge on a private beach, we set out by sailing catamaran in search of humpback whales, a chance for up-close observations of these marvelous cetaceans breaching and spy hopping. Then, with snorkel, mask, and fins, we swim alongside them!
Days 6-12
Uoleva Island / Snorkeling / Kayaking / Whale Watching
Traveling as the ancient Polynesians did, we paddle our kayaks to Uoleva Island, where our base is a tranquil hideaway on a white-sand beach. Uoleva's amazing geography of caves, canyons, vertical walls, and colorful coral gardens makes for incredible snorkeling, with plenty of reef fish, including Moorish idol, butterfly fish, wrasse, and clown fish, as well as stingrays and sea turtles. While here we enjoy more whale watching and swimming encounters, and attend a local church service to hear the harmonious sound of Tongan choir singing—a memorable experience! Throughout our journey, we experience warm Tongan hospitality as well as traditional 'umu feasts with our island hosts. Depart on Day 12 via Tongatapu.

What the Trip is Like
This trip is Level 3, Moderate. Because one of the primary enjoyments of the trip is snorkeling and swimming with whales, we require that trip members know how to swim. Please bring your own good quality, well-fitted equipment with you, including wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and fins. Try out your gear in a swimming pool before you go to make sure that it works for you and is comfortable. We will have a "refresher" snorkel in calm waters at the beginning of the trip. There is ample time for both scheduled snorkels and free snorkeling, and for the most part the water time is "at your own pace."
The trip is relaxed enough to allow ample time for snorkeling, photography, kayaking, and beachcombing. Our kayaks are stable, seaworthy crafts well suited to novices and the ocean environment. No previous kayaking experience is required. All trip members should be comfortable in small boats.
A moderate level of fitness is recommended and you should be in good health and physical condition to get the most enjoyment from your trip. The Ha'apai islands are separated by reefs or open water, but they are not great paddling distances apart. In general, we choose routes that are largely protected from high winds and strong currents. We also adapt our daily schedule to local conditions. We generally paddle two to four hours on kayaking days, with daily snorkeling and island exploration.
Our nights are spent at simple yet well located Tonga-style beach resorts in fales (bungalows) that lend an authentic, laid-back experience of this island paradise. We spend seven nights at Sandy Beach Resort, within walking distance of the nearest village. The 12 bungalows feature comfortable beds, en suite bathrooms, and private verandas with chairs and table. Three nights are at Serenity Beaches Resort, with five private bungalows spread out on the beach. Since Uoleva is an isolated island with no electricity, the fales are lit by solar lamps, candles, and battery lamps. (There is a generator for refrigeration and charging cameras.) All resorts are staffed by friendly people and you'll soon feel like an extended member of the family. We spend one night at a hotel in Auckland at the start of our journey.

Jon Imhoof
Jon Imhoof has a degree in Anthropology from the University of Hawaii, where he first began leading hiking and sailing trips in the 1980s. He moved to Queenstown, New Zealand in 1989. Jon has been an innovator in adventure tourism, starting the first river-surfing company in the world in Queenstown, New Zealand, and then also on the Zambezi River in Southern Africa. During the southern summer, Jon leads our hiking trips in New Zealand, and in the winter, guides our snorkeling and whale watching journeys in Tonga. He enjoys kite-surfing, surfing, kayaking, scuba diving, mountain biking, and just about anything outdoors. "What I think surprises most people about New Zealand is the effect it has on their world view," says Jon. "The first thing that is immediately apparent is a more relaxed pace of living. And in conversation, people are not in such a hurry to move on—a remark to a stranger can become a lively conversation. The lack of crowds and the clean environment also have an effect on visitors, like suddenly being able to take a deep breath. New Zealand inspires adventure!" Jon also loves to introduce people to the wonders of Polynesian culture. "Tonga's Ha'apai islands are off the tourist route and not easy to get to, so the traditional Tongan way of life still predominates. When I lived in Hawaii, I always found myself thinking 'I wish I had been here 50 years ago.' Of course you can't turn back the clock—but you can go to Ha'apai!" Jon lives in Queenstown, New Zealand, with his wife and two children.

Saturday 07.07.12 - 15:00 - Odeon
With their American-sounding country folk, First Aid Kit have come far since their last visit at Roskilde Festival in 2009.
The Söderberg sisters have recorded their latest album The Lion's Roar in Nebraska where Mr. Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, was so overawed by the girls' vocal harmonies and stage presence that he ended up doing a cameo on the album.
Despite the success and the new experience, the charm and innocence in the two forest elves' music remain intact. With melodic tunes and enchanting voices, the duo sings about the upcoming adulthood with both sweetness and the melancholy inherent in country music.
Here is comfort, support and gilt-edged songs for souls in need.

The rate of intravenous CEREBYX administration should not exceed 150 mg phenytoin sodium equivalents (PE) per minute because of the risk of severe hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias. Careful cardiac monitoring is needed during and after administering intravenous CEREBYX. Although the risk of cardiovascular toxicity increases with infusion rates above the recommended infusion rate, these events have also been reported at or below the recommended infusion rate. Reduction in rate of administration or discontinuation of dosing may be needed (see WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
CEREBYX® (fosphenytoin sodium injection) is a prodrug intended for parenteral administration; its active metabolite is phenytoin. 1.5 mg of fosphenytoin sodium is equivalent to 1 mg phenytoin sodium, and is referred to as 1 mg phenytoin sodium equivalents (PE). The amount and concentration of fosphenytoin is always expressed in terms of mg PE.
CEREBYX is marketed in 2 mL vials containing a total of 100 mg PE and 10 mL vials containing a total of 500 mg PE. The concentration of each vial is 50 mg PE/mL. CEREBYX is supplied in vials as a ready-mixed solution in Water for Injection, USP, and Tromethamine, USP (TRIS), buffer adjusted to pH 8.6 to 9.0 with either Hydrochloric Acid, NF, or Sodium Hydroxide, NF. CEREBYX is a clear, colorless to pale yellow, sterile solution.
The chemical name of fosphenytoin is 5,5-diphenyl-3-[(phosphonooxy)methyl]-2,4imidazolidinedione disodium salt. The molecular structure of fosphenytoin is:
The molecular weight of fosphenytoin is 406.24.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Throughout all CEREBYX® product labeling, the amount and concentration of fosphenytoin are always expressed in terms of phenytoin sodium equivalents (PE). Fosphenytoin's weight is expressed as phenytoin sodium equivalents to avoid the need to perform molecular weight-based adjustments when substituting fosphenytoin for phenytoin or vice versa Care should be taken to ensure that CEREBYX is always prescribed and dispensed in phenytoin sodium equivalent (PE) (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

My webmaster had an unforseen "accident". Thank you so much for your help!
- Mike from Aventura, FL
Once my web developer went through your "Attitude Enhancement" program, he finally started answering our calls and fixed that bug in our shopping cart. You guys are lifesavers! It is really funny to see him look so frightened and we laugh whenever he starts sobbing uncontrollibly at random times. You guys rock!
- Bill Jones, Hollywood FL
I am back on the client site and promise never to avoid their calls again. But please... no more!!!
- Jim Moore, Webmaster from undisclosed location
He was last seen at Starbucks complaining about missing some important deadline. Just this last week he was joking about a client that he has been avoiding for weeks.
