Does the word "procurement" conjure fears of a slap on the wrist for paying too much for something, or feelings of uncertainty that you may be working with the "lowest bidder?"

Authorities storm Alabama bunker, rescue young boyThe Associated Press | February 05,2013MIDLAND CITY, Ala. Authorities stormed an underground bunker Monday in Alabama, freeing a 5-year-old boy who had been held hostage for nearly a week in the tiny backyard shelter and leaving the boys abductor dead.
After days of fruitless negotiations, talks had deteriorated with an increasingly agitated Jimmy Lee Dykes, who had kidnapped the child from a school bus after fatally shooting the driver.
Dykes had been seen with a gun, and officers concluded the boy was in imminent danger, said Steve Richardson of the FBIs office in Mobile.
Officials refused to say how the 65-year-old died.
Ever since this started, theres never been a moment that (the boy) wasnt on my mind, said Michael Senn, pastor of a church near where reporters had been camped out since the standoff began. So when I heard that he was OK, it was just like a thousand pounds lifted off of me.
The rescue capped a long drama that drew national attention to this town of 2,400 people nestled amid peanut farms and cotton fields that has long relied on a strong Christian faith, a policy of love thy neighbor and the power of group prayer. The childs plight prompted nightly candlelight vigils.
Throughout the ordeal, authorities had been speaking with Dykes though a plastic pipe that went into the shelter. They also sent food, medicine and other items into the bunker, which apparently had running water, heat and cable television but no toilet. It was about 4 feet underground, with about 50 square feet of floor space.
Authorities said the kindergartner appeared unharmed. He was taken to a hospital in nearby Dothan. Officials have said he has Aspergers syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
FBI bomb technicians were clearing the property for explosive devices and planned to look more closely at the scene when its safe, FBI spokesman Jason Pack said.
Daryle Hendry, who lives about a quarter-mile from the bunker, said he heard a boom Monday afternoon, followed by what sounded like a gunshot.
Melissa Nighton, city clerk in Midland City, said a woman had been praying in the town center Monday afternoon. Not long after, the mayor called with news that Dykes was dead and that the boy was safe.
She must have had a direct line to God because shortly after she left, they heard the news, Nighton said.
Neighbors described Dykes as a menacing, unpredictable man who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
Government records and interviews with neighbors indicate that Dykes joined the Navy in Midland City and served on active duty from 1964 to 1969. His record shows several awards, including the Vietnam Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. During his service, Dykes was trained in aviation maintenance.
He had some scrapes with the law in Florida, including a 1995 arrest for improper exhibition of a weapon. The misdemeanor was dismissed. He also was arrested for marijuana possession in 2000.
He returned to Alabama about two years ago, moving onto the rural tract about 100 yards from his nearest neighbors.
Ronda Wilbur, a neighbor of Dykes who said the man beat her dog to death last year with a pipe, said she was relieved to be done with the stress of knowing Dykes was patrolling his yard and willing to shoot at anyone or anything that trespassed.
The nightmare is over. Its been a long couple of years of having constant stress, she said.
On Sunday, more than 500 people attended a memorial service for bus driver Charles Albert Poland Jr., who was hailed as a hero for protecting the two dozen other children on the bus before he was gunned down and the little boy grabbed.
This man was a true hero who was willing to give up his life so others might live, Gov. Robert Bentley said in a news release after learning of the boys rescue.MORE IN Wire NewsBILLINGS, Mont.

A few days ago, Yunel Escobar forgot to throw the ball to home, allowing a run to score against Pittsburgh.
On Sunday, Yunel Escobar botched a double play and a run-down play in the first two innings, leading to several runs at Baltimore. Braves manager Bobby Cox became so incensed that he benched his starting shortstop — in the third inning — and later referred to him as lackadaisical.
It was right about this time when I started wondering: "Is there some reason why Jeff Francoeur is the only Brave who is central to trade rumors?"
We've heard a lot about the "next wave" of Braves players. It's normal any time an older and high-payroll team releases veterans or lets them sign elsewhere in free agency. A transition to younger players make economical sense. The problem is when the "next wave" of players look flawed. And these Braves have been just that.
Here are four players out of the Braves' system that were supposed to make a difference — in a good way — this season:
♦ SHORTSTOP: Escobar. The good news is he's hitting .293, which makes him relatively Ruthian in the Braves' batting order. But he has become a mush head in the field. He has eight errors in 53 games, which puts him on pace for 24 — eight more than year's 16. Overall, the field percentage of Braves shortstops is only .969, which ranks 23rd out of 30 teams.
Worse is the mental errors that don't show up on the scoreboard (at least not under "E"). In Baltimore, he hesitated before throwing to first base, which would've completed a double play. In the second inning, pitcher Derek Lowe had the Orioles' Brian Roberts picked off first. But during an ensuing run-down play, Escobar passed on a chance to tag Roberts (which would've ended the inning) and instead threw home too late to get the Orioles' Robert Andino, who had been on third.
Cox: "We pride ourselves on doing things right and being in the game [mentally] and don't do things lackadaisically." Also this, "I've talked to him an awful lot since he's been here." Understand, this is somebody who almost never criticizes a player. So for Cox, this is as close as he comes to throwing a player under the bus.
♦ SECOND BASE: Kelly Johnson: The Braves weren't sure about his defensive abilities at second base when he came up but thought he could provide some offense. That assessment seemed on target when Johnson raised his average from .276 two years ago to .287 last season. But he's now down to .238 and has a career-low on-base percentage of .301.
♦ RIGHT FIELD: Francoeur. I won't bore you too much. His nosedive has been debated ad nauseam. But his batting average is down to .250 and, even though he is striking out less, he has hit only four home runs in 61 games.
Chipper Jones had some interesting things to say on Francoeur the other day when I asked him. The first thing stood out the most: "He's got a million batting coaches. A million. And he's listening to all of them." (Feel free to read between the lines.)
But Jones believes the problems with Francoeur are not all mental: "He's tried. He's worked. But he has some fundamental issues that he can't feel. You can tell him don't arm-bar at the plate [keeping arm stiff and parallel to ground]. I can show him what it does to his swing but he can't fix it because he can't feel it. If you can't feel it, you can't make the adjustment. You can show him his stance in his rookie year and show him last year and all the major differences. But he doesn't feel it."
♦ CENTER FIELD: Jordan Schafer. How many times did we hear in the last three years, "Jordan Schafer is going to be great"? And he still might be one day. But right now he's a mess. There was the drug-related suspension last season, which pushed back the team's plans (even if circumstances surrounding that suspension remain sketchy).
This season there was some debate within the organization as to whether he was ready or not. The Braves took a chance. The answer: He's not ready. He was hitting .205 with 63 strikeouts in 167 games before general manager Frank Wren screamed "uncle." So Schafer is down at Gwinnett and Nate McLouth is the starting center fielder for the foreseeable future.
So there you go. Four hot prospects. Half the line up. All struggling.
So why is Francoeur the only one being rumored in trade? It's harder to find somebody on the team who isn't tradable.
It's OK for a team to get younger, faster and cheaper. But when there's something wrong with the replacements, this is what you're left with.

Good comments Jeff. To elaborate, let's go down the lineup:
1B: Kotchman: good glove, low impact bat. HIs RBI numbers, when it counts are pathetic.
2B: Johnson: not a second baseman. Stevie Wonder could see that. Why can't Cox?
SS: Escobar: million dollar arm, ten-cent brain.
3B: Jones: Part-time player
LF: G. Anderson: Did any Braves exec actually see this guy play last year?
M Diaz: "A" for effort, but not an everyday starter.
CF: McLouth: Why would the Pirates part with this guy? I think we'll find out.
RF: Francoeur: See Escobar, above.
C: McCann: Best hitter on team, catching will cut his career short.
C: Ross: Deserves more AB's. Find a spot for him.
PH: Norton: Retired during off-season, didn't tell anyone.
IF: Prado: Backup infielder, nothing more.
IF: Infante: 2nd best hitter on team, no one told Bobby.
SP: Lowe & Vazquez:: Serviceable, not big-game pitchers.
Jurrjens: Hope we don't screw him up.
Kawakami: Adequate, overpaid.
Hanson: See Jurrjens, above.
RP: Soriano, Gonzalez: See Lowe, Vazquez above.
Moylan: Probably headed to DL, where all failed relievers go under Cox.
Bennett: Not a big-game pitcher.
Medlen: Not a big league pitcher.
Acosta: See Medlen.

the past 2 games were absolutely disgusting. the Braves always play to their level of competition. Before the series, the O's hadn't scored more than 4 runs in 9 something games. of course when the play the Braves, the open up on us. We have a ton of talent of team..problem is coaching (i.e. TP). if we are not at least a few games over .500 by July 1rst..we're done.

It's not just the players. Something has gone out of this club from ownership right down to the fans. Once they were "America's Team!". Now, the Brave's seem, well, pointless.

All four highschool draft choices that came up through the farm, where Braves traditionally TAUGHT young men with ability how to be a major leaguer. It appears our farm ain't what it used to be…and our big club hitting coach is a joke.
Why aren't you spending ink about that? It easy to pile on young players who are struggling. What about the organization who's job it is to DEVELOP ball players?

I think there are some underlying issues which have gradually developed over time which your column only touches on the superficial or the results of those underlying issues. To address something as all encompassing as preparing a minor leaguer for the Show, requires a hell of alot of commitment, coordination, and constant vertical and horizontal fine tuning, (committee meetings of coaches and staff) I think the Braves, like any large organization, have drifted. It is normal. Drift happens. Go take any general management class in a junior college to show you how normal it is to have these kinds of problems. Only we fans have studied it as it applies to business corporations. Since when have sports organizations been exempt from the laws of human organization? Go read any of Peter Drucker's 39 books on management if you think I'm lying. edition.

I just don't understand how all of these problems and recent (and past) embarrassments continue to bypass the manager – how he is somehow the victim, rather than the architect, of this team and its problems?
All of this talk of trades is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic until ownership (who owns this team anyway?) is willing to address the changes that really need to be made.
This team is stale, uninspired and unmotivated. The recent lapses of Escobar are not the problem, but indications of a much larger issue.
The relic in the dugout needs to go – no real change will occur to this team until this happens.
June 15th, 2009
8:08 am
I agree with Edo River regarding drift.
While this latest wave of players may not be the same caliber of as the Chipper, Klesko, Javy, Dye, Millwood, etc. group this current group lacks fundamentals. Sac flys, sac bunts, moving runners to third, hitting the cutoff man, things like that used to be automatic. Over the last 3-4 years I have noticed a tremendous drop off in these things.
I would give these guys until the end of July. If we are still .500 and 6.5+ games out, I am taking offers for not only Francouer, but Escobar, Johnson, Kotchman, Kawakami, etc.
June 15th, 2009

It frustrates me, as a decades long season ticket holder, to see AAA baseball in Turner field. Escobar has long been one of my pet peeves…however, I thought he would be improving in the mental part of the game, and he simply hasn't. My new favorite peeve is Garrett Anderson. I don't think I have ever seen someone that uninterested in playing the game…he is slow to react in left, nonchalant at the plate, no power, doesn't appear to have an arm, and isn't hitting for average. He looks good in the uniform…but so did Brad Komminsk. Francouer at least gives you half a run a game in defense. I can actually live with the .250. Put Infante at short and give Escobar a shot in left where decisions aren't as critical. Leave Frenchy at the bottom of the order and let it go. Defense wins ballgames.

"The Braves got their offense from an unusual place — the eighth spot in the order — as Jeff Francoeur went 3-for-4 with a two-run double." – AJC
Me and Jeff went to school together and was good freinds since we're little boys playing ball. Jeff could always hit the ball far but I was the one with good grades and he got most of the girls because he could always hit when we was playing ball in school together. Jeff is still real smart and he can figure this problem out if everbody will just leave him alone and not upset him because he used to get upset when we're little boys playing ball. I remember a game against Brookwood where he got so mad and cried so hard that his chest was heaving and something was coming out of his nose and the umpire made him change shirts and some of the girls left and wouldn't come back even when we wanted to go to the Dairy Queen with them after the game. I think that is the problem right now and I am going to text him and let him know that I think that he should know how to fix it if he won't get upset when he cant pull the ball like he did when we was young except that game when the girls left and wouldn't come back so we could go to the Dairy Queen and Jeff couldn't pull the ball and he failed a test the next day. Well, I agree that being the hometown boy can be a distraction for everbody and that he might do better with an American League team. I don't think they would like him in New York though because of the girls leaving when the fans see him get his chest heaving like he did at that game when we was young. I can tell you some more Jeff S. if it will help you write some more positive storys about Jeff F. that can mention his old freind Sonny that played some first and some third and was on a couple of different teams that he was the star and I was probably his best freind in the world back then when we was playing together. We was younger and Jeff could pretty much get away with anything as long as the ball team was winning and scoring a lot of runs because the girls would come back to see the long ball and Jeff could hit the ball out most of the time if he got a good pitch when we was playing ball together. Parkview is a pretty smart school and Jeff and I did good. He'll figure this out and then watch out for him hitting like Hank Arron. I enjoy this blog because I like to read your stuff in here.

gayle: I got no dog in the Cox hunt, but do you think McCann and Chipper are uninspired? I mean come on – these are adults here and they're well-paid to do what they do.

June 15th, 2009
8:28 am
When we was young, Jeff and me was real good ballplayers and we went to baseball camp and learned everything we needed to know about hitting and catching. That's why Jeff don't listen to the coaches because he already knows how to do it and has been doing it all through high school when me and him were playing for state champonships. How many state champoships has Terry Pendeltom won or Bobby Cox? You just wait and see if everbody on the team don't start playing just like Jeff.

I would love to see McCann tried at 3rd next season. I love Chipper, but if the Braves are going to crap out this year, why not see if one of the big gun teams will take him and his salary?
Saying that, I believe the Braves could still win this division this year by doing 1 more thing…get Adam Dunn. Put him in right field, and hope not many balls come his way.

curtis jones (2nd post in the column) — why do you even bother watching the Braves with such a "sky is falling" mentality? Everyone on the team sucks huh? You're a prototypical "fan" – what a bi*ch!! Go sniff some Yankee jock
June 15th, 2009
8:43 am
I am a season ticket holder and it seems real evident that over the past few years we are just not a very good team. As much as we gave Cox credit when the braves were winning division after division ….. it is time for him to get some of the blame for what is taking place now! As a Manager you adapt to the players that you are given. He seemed to be the "Greatest thing ever" when he had great pitchers. But the test of a great manager or coach is what you do with less. Tony Larussa is a great manager because he has done really good every year regardless of the talent he was given. it's real simple….. no moves will matter until Cox is gone! I use to think the Braves would never get rid of Cox because of loyalty. But ask Glavine and Smoltz about that!!!!!

All you need to know about Escobar is the fact he dyes his hair… not to mention he has been in the major years for 3 seasons and still can't converse with any reporters in English… No excuses, drop me in China in three years i will know enough Chinese to carry a conversation. He probably has no clue what Bobby is saying and could care less. Instead of getting focused in the on deck circle, he's scoping the Suntrust seat for chicks. It's a tired act trade him to the Mets where they tolerate those kinds of things.

JS: what i meant to say concerning our "ton of talent" is that the players we have are good but could be a lot better. they're lacking basic fundamentals of the game (offense & defense) which tells me that A) the players are lazy or don't care or B) the coaching has gone by the wayside.
June 15th, 2009
8:52 am
Schultz, I'm not "completely" buying what you're saying here buddy. Schafer is still a question mark. Your take on Kelly Johnson and Jeff Francoeur are pretty much spot on. But Escobar is arguably the best all around player on this team. There's no question that for a few games this year his decision making has been suspect, but to imply that he should be traded is ridiculous. I guess lost in those few games are all the amazing plays he makes that no one else can. Or, all those clutch hits that he has gotten to help propel the clutch deficient Braves to the few victories that they have this year. The reality is, Escobar is only going to get better, but the question is, will the Braves be better without him?

Chipper's comment about Frenchy's one million batting coaches is quite revealing. Certainly doesn't say much for Terry Pendleton, now does it? The Cubs fired Gerald Perry over the weekend, and he's only failed for 2-1/2 years as their hitting coach. Numerous other batting instructors have also been shown the door over the last few years (the Yankees must've fired 3 or 4). I'm not saying it's just T.P.'s fault, but SOMEONE's got to take the blame if Bobby's not. Sometimes a change does some good. Look at what's happened with the Rockies after firing Clint Hurdle. This team has just lacked passion for so long. That's the thing that ails it most, I believe.

June 15th, 2009

Escobar is a definite headcase. Does he even know how to play shortstop? When a bonehead play by not tagging the runner. A 10 year old little leagure knows what to do in that situation. I'll bet he didn't even know how many outs there were. As far as Francoeur goes, Chipper is right. I don't think Francoeur understands the art of hitting and maybe never will. Johnson is serviceable at 2nd, but he needs to pick up the pace in the hits department. As for Schafer, he needs 2-3 more years in the minors.

Very well said, Jeff.
I just can't figure out what happened. When Frank Wren threw Tom Glavine out and activated Tommy Hanson, the vast of commenters on the various AJC blogs were convinced that was the final key to get the Braves to the playoffs, maybe even win the division.
It seems that they had overlooked the poor excuse for an "offense" and the other issues that you have outlined.
This team does NOT have "a ton of talent." It has some potential in the starting rotation, and that's about it. They can say what they want about Bobby Cox, but he is not ultimately responsible for deciding which guys are on the active roster.

Chipper Jones is right. "….(Francoeur) has some fundamental issues that he can't feel…. If you can't feel it, you can't make the adjustment. You can show him his stance in his rookie year and show him last year and all the major differences. But he doesn't feel it."
Baseball is not a paint-by-numbers game. You got to feel it. Please note how many times Cal Ripken Jr was able to adjust his stance, to match his physical gifts, throughout his maturity.

"As far as Francoeur goes, Chipper is right. I don't think Francoeur understands the art of hitting and maybe never will." – b-g
When we was in school together playing ball me and Jeff learned all about hitting and it ain't no art. Hitting is about swinging the bat hard and making contact so the ball will go out and then the girls will ask you out. That's when a trip to the Dairy Queen is special.

If you have 2 or 3 players who can play above average while the other 5 or 6 play below average, your team is below average.
If this is the 90's, some players like Jeff F, Kelley J would be let go or benched long ago.

"Sonny Clusters – you used a few hundred piss-poorly structured words to say what exactly?" – Earl
Earl, you need to learn to read for comprehensive. When you can do that you can ask me questions. Me and Jeff are a lot alike and always have been. I don't take no crap and Jeff don't take no coaching.

I stopped watching weeks ago! I could see we were anonly going to be a 500 team.
I love the game of baseball, just not this bunch of underachievers style. This teams reminds me way – way to much of the teams in the 70's and 80's.
Get ready folks, it may be a while before we see another pennant here in Atlanta.
I will take a peak, then hate what I see and leave, probably like most of you.

They don't have the talent in the organization to replace the guys who were supposed to be difference makers right now.
They simultaneously had 3 or 4 guys go from solid everyday contributors to…. well… what they are now.

With all due respect to Bobby Cox – I think he needs to apply his "We pride ourselves on doing things right and being in the game [mentally] and don't do things lackadaisically" across the entire roster…instead of making Escobar his "example". Throwing to the wrong base from the outfield, not moving runners into scoring position….it's a problem that is deeper than Escobar. This team is far from being fundamentally sound.
Here's a quote from Mike Scioscia about his team's poor play –
"A lot of guys in that room are playing hard and some guys need to play better," Scioscia said. "Until we can become the team that we are, all that is, is potential. Potential's not going to get you anywhere. You need to perform."
For the last two seasons – Howie Kendrick's batting average was .322 & .306 – after 186 ABs this year he was batting .231…now he is playing at Salt Lake.
"We feel it is time for Howie to go down to take a little bit of pressure off and exhale a little bit and get some at-bats," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We want him to find his swing and then get back up here and hopefully be a quick turnaround once he begins to feel it in the batter's box."
"When I got sent down to the Minors around '96, '97, I remember how upset and annoyed I was and it just lit a fire under me," Torii Hunter said.
"I really need to find myself as a hitter and find the fire inside me," Kendrick said. "If I put in the work and hit, I know I will be back up here again.
In my opinion, Mike Scioscia is the best manager in the game – his teams play like he played….HARD and SMART.
All I'm saying is – don't make an example of one guy when the entire team "needs to perform"…as Scioscia said.

We just have to be patient. They haven't had the makeup of a playoff team for several years. They have only had a very slim chance to compete the last couple of years. It is just going to take a while to find the right players to fix the lineup. They can't win with this bunch though unless they start hitting better. I said 85 wins at the beginning of the year but at this point 81 or 82 seems more realistic.
June 15th, 2009

When one watches as many games and listens to as many announcers as I do one realizes that no team is "perfect". No matter how small or obscenely rich there are holes. Yep, brother, we have many holes that leave us scratching our heads and muttering obscenties. The difference in our club and others is that the "holes" in other clubs are smart enough to do things that help the team. ie move the runner over, bunt, look to take an extra base, etc. Our team just sux. 15 out and in 4th will be our lot in life for the near future without a shake-up. Unfortunately the shake up won't come from our minor leaguers and free agents won't come here. Garrett was once a proud man and productive player but even he has caught brave-itis. It's a shame. If Smoltz were here he'd be chewing some fannies…it's not his arm I miss the most it's his desire to win and make sure those around him play to win.

Case Studies | Bettercoal: Improving Performance in the Coal Supply Chain
The Challenge
In the next 25 to 50 years, despite efforts to shift to lower-carbon energy sources, increasing demand from large emerging economies means that coal will continue to be critical to meet energy needs. And, increasingly, future production is likely to be based in countries such as Mongolia, Mozambique, and parts of Indonesia that, to date, have had modest coal mining operations.
In spite of this, there is currently no agreed-upon global standard for coal mining; performance varies widely across the world; and there are significant ethical, social, and environmental risks and impacts associated with coal mining.
To fill this gap, several major energy utilities—DONG Energy, EDF, Enel, E.ON, GDF Suez, RWE, and Vattenfall—worked with BSR as the lead facilitator to form Bettercoal, the first global, multi-company initiative aimed at improving conditions at the mine level. Bettercoal will seek to fulfill its mission by conducting independent mine assessments, facilitating industry best practice sharing, and offering support to develop resources and capabilities at the mine level.
Our Strategy
Since the beginning of 2011, BSR has supported the founding members with both group facilitation and content expertise on a range of issues, including ethical, social, and environmental risks and impacts in mining.
Using our deep experience building collaborative initiatives, we have engaged civil society and companies in the coal supply chain to help create a coal-mining code for social, environmental, and ethical performance; draft the articles of association; incorporate the entity; define its operating principles; manage antitrust issues; and hire an executive director. BSR also worked with third-party service providers to develop the infrastructure and tools to support Bettercoal.
Our Impact
In the first year, BSR has successfully assisted in the launch of Bettercoal, and we will continue to support the organization as the Bettercoal Code and assessment tools proceed through a multiphase, public consultation process that will reach individuals and community-based organizations in key coal-producing countries. (Information about this will be available at www.bettercoal.org.)
In the future, Bettercoal will focus on increasing the uptake of the initiative by suppliers and stakeholders.
Lessons Learned
Through the development of Bettercoal, we learned two important lessons about collaborating with several independent companies to establish a new entity:
- Involving relevant staff from each of the founding companies in different activities was a highly effective way to imbed the work in the organizations and ensure that the project had necessary resources. For instance, the project communications departments were involved in developing the communications strategy, sustainability experts helped develop the code, and compliance officers established the operating model.
- To ensure trust among companies—a fundamental part of maintaining both momentum and our schedule—we needed to ensure that we developed and had consensus on our mission from the outset.

Stars are aligning. Caps Pens in first round?
Jeremy Scriven | Jan 10, 2011 | Comments 1
With the Capitals having now reached the halfway point of the 2010-2011 season, one can't help but look at the NHL standings for potential first round playoff matchups. One might say the Caps are in unfamiliar territory as they sit in fifth place in the conference. The silver lining is that they trail the Tampa Bay Lightning by just one point in the Southeast division, and the Philadelphia Flyers by just three points. All this despite enduring a cruel month of December that saw the Caps lose eight games in a row. So all in all, the Caps are not in too bad a spot with 41 games remaining on the schedule.
So I will ask the obvious question. What is the importance of the Capitals winning the Southeast division? Obviously a top-three seed in the playoffs is at stake. Guaranteeing yourself home ice advantage in the first round, and likely second round of the playoffs should be motivation enough. Although, as any hockey fan will tell you, home ice advantage in the NHL playoffs is nowhere near what it appears to be on paper. One of the top four seeds in either conference lose out in the first round almost every season.
For the Capitals, winning the division means avoiding two of their greatest rivals in the first round; one of which has historically crushed the dreams of millions of Caps fans' over the last two decades.
Consider the following:
The Philadelphia Flyers lead the Eastern Conference with 57 points. The Flyers are in the same division as the Pittsburgh Penguins, who due to the fact of playing in the same division fall to the 4th seed in the East. The Tampa Bay Lightning sit atop the Southeast division, thus are guaranteed a top-3 spot in the East. The Flyers currently sit 2nd overall. Then come the Capitals. The Caps have 54 points, two fewer than the Penguins, thus placing the Caps 5th in the Conference. With the Flyers and Penguins being the consensus favorites in the Eastern Conference, we know that either the Penguins or Flyers will likely be the 4th, or at worst 5th seed in the Conference. The same holds true for either the Lightning or the Capitals. Whoever finishes second in the Southeast will fall to either the 4th or 5th seed in the Conference. So what does this leave us Caps fans? You got it; a first round date with either the Flyers or Penguins.
If you are a Caps fan, this is a scary proposition. The Penguins were responsible for many seasons in the 1990's coming to an abrupt halt. Although the Caps are 8-0-2 in their last 10 games against the Penguins, the playoff history between these two clubs is a far different story. For all intents and purposes the Capitals are a cursed club when it comes to playoffs matchups with the Penguins. All time the Caps are 1-6 against the Penguins. On multiple occasions the Caps held two game leads in their best of seven series. The string of bad luck this team has endured against the Pens is beyond the realm of unexplainable. The last thing any Caps fan wants is a first round date with the Penguins.
Although the playoff history against the Flyers isn't as rich as the history with the Penguins (2-2 all-time), the Flyers are a formidable foe. And due to the playoff alignment, the Capitals could face one of the NHL's best teams. It would be a rematch of the 2008 first round series between the two clubs. The Flyers won that series on an overtime goal by Joffrey Lupul in game 7.
A lot could change in the next 40 games. Perhaps the Rangers make a run at the Atlantic division lead and change things. Montreal or Boston could alter the playoff landscape as well. But as of right now, the Capitals are on a collision course with history all over again. One has to wonder, perhaps a first round opponent against a foe as large as Philly or Pittsburgh may just be the thing that puts this Caps team over the edge and on to bigger and great things.
Just a little food for thought.

South Korean military leaders recommended purchasing 40 fighter jets with stealth capabilities and indicated Lockheed Martin Corp.'s F-35 provided the best defense against North Korea's growing nuclear threat.
The U.S. sees little chance of a quick resumption of North Korean nuclear talks, contrasting recent comments by China indicating hope that negotiations aimed at ending Pyongyang's weapons program could be revived soon.
The U.S. and North Korea made "a little bit" of progress in their first round of talks since the death of Kim Jong Il, though there were no breakthroughs, U.S. special representative Glyn Davies said today.
The U.S. and North Korea held "substantive and serious" talks in Beijing today in the first such meeting since Kim Jong Il died in December and his son inherited leadership of the isolated, nuclear-armed country.
North Korea may have restarted a nuclear reactor capable of producing enough plutonium to make one atomic bomb every year, a U.S. research institute said.
A U.S. delegation will meet with North Korea over its nuclear program on Feb. 23 in Beijing in the first such talks since the death of dictator Kim Jong Il and the succession of his son Kim Jong Un.
The U.S. is "cautiously optimistic" about talks in Beijing today with North Korea, the first such meeting since Kim Jong Il died in December and his son inherited leadership of the isolated, nuclear-armed country.
An aide to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made an unannounced visit to North Korea that could ease regional tensions after months of missile and nuclear threats from the totalitarian state.
Further progress in North Korea's relationship with the U.S. hinges on an improvement in the communist nation's interaction with the South, U.S. special representative Glyn Davies reiterated today.
The UN Security Council voted unanimously to impose tougher sanctions on North Korea for conducting a nuclear test explosion in violation of its previous prohibition.
"I do not think it's yet time, really, for the heads of delegations of the six-party process to get together, because I do not believe that we yet have the conditions. It's important that we only do so when conditions are right, when North Korea has reversed the direction in which it has been moving for many months."

San Diego's modern death metal miscreants, Carnifex, have been through a strange couple of years. This week, frontman Scott Lewis checked in with The Examiner and Metal Nation Radio to talk about the band's debut album for its new label, Nuclear Blast. "Die Without Hope" releases on March 4.
After the release of 2011′s "Until I Feel Nothing" the band spent a year touring and feeling somewhat tormented about its relationship with Victory Records. At the end of the touring cycle in October 2012, Carnifex announced an indefinite hiatus while they decided what to do next.
Over the course of 2013 the band was able to step away from its old label and ink a new deal with Nuclear Blast. Along the way, guitarist Ryan Gudmunds, who joined the band in 2007, chose to step down. Longtime friend of the band, Jorden Lockrey was tapped to take over, and according to Lewis helped the band further push the Carnifex sound with his individual style. While the songs were already written by the time Jordan joined, the band made sure to give him room to breath on each track. Fellow guitarist, Cory Arford stated recently that Lockrey's presence has made him step up his own game.
During our interview, Lewis discusses the journey from the last album to "Die Without Hope" and why the band believes this is its best album to date. He also talks about working with producer, Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, DevilDriver, Whitechapel, Deicide). Listen to the full interview above (push play button), and pre-order "Die Without Hope" now.

WhatIWore: We had the most beautiful weekend here in Bloomington! On Saturday we had donuts at home, went to the farmer's market and then spent the entire day hanging out in our friend's backyard in the sunshine. I am in LOVE with this new dress (so much so I'm thinking of getting it in another color way) because it makes me feel like me.
What I Wore | In Full Bloom
What I Wore | Windswept
WhatIWore: Yesterday was a pretty good day. It was warm enough to ditch my trench by noon and I had some promising doctor's appointments that left me feeling a lot more optimistic (baby is fine, I'm just dealing with some issues that I hope are resolved soon!). Outfit wise, another super simple combo - skinny jeans, a crisp white tee, classic trench and flats and a great fringed spring scarf. A great basic look for any woman, pregnant or not!
What I Wore | Happy
WhatIWore: Ahh spring, you're looking pretty beautiful lately! I had a busy day yesterday and this is what I wore for meetings and running errands (with plain black flats swapped out!). I've been eager to see more of a baby bump, but one of the things I wasn't looking forward to was putting away all of my vintage skirts and dresses until the fall and next spring. Luckily a few of my skirts have elastic back waistbands and can be hiked up over my stomach. Seriously though, just to have a day warm enough for bare legs makes me a happy girl indeed. Oh yea… those new sunglasses don't hurt either!

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
Thinking of Buying an Email List?
Dear Email Marketers,
You do know this is a bad idea, right? What? You don't?
Maybe you're new to the email marketing community. Or maybe you've been chatting with the Wrong Sort of Marketers.
And maybe you believe the promise that these leads specifically requested information just like yours.
News flash: they didn't.
It's time to set the story straight. Here's what's really going on.
Think about it – have you ever requested that your email address be spread far and wide so you could get a slammed with a ton of new, random email offers?
Yeah. Neither has anyone else. And yet list vendors have huge databases of names and email addresses. So the question is…
Basically, any address left lying around the web can end up in those databases.
Vendors scrape them off old lists. They pick them off web sites. They collect contact lists from conferences. They advertise free products, then stockpile the information that respondents provide.
Which means the people you're emailing may not be remotely interested in your topic. And even if the vendor did use legitimate subscription tactics, none of these people expect to hear from you.
Some of you are nodding – you see the problem.
Others are rolling their eyes, thinking,"Yes, but I need customers," your fingers itching to toggle back over to that list supply site.
Well, keep those fingers steady for one more minute. The problem won't just be your recipients' – it'll be yours, too.
Sending to a bulk list might not mean a one-way ticket to the spam house – the first time, at least. But it will at a minimum mean a lot of unpleasantness. Here's why:
- The addresses on those lists get sold to all kinds of marketers. So they get all kinds of mail. So, they lodge all kinds of spam complaints. If ISPs like Gmail and Hotmail notice, they might put you on a blacklist, blocking your emails from all their users in the future.
- Because of the way these lists are compiled, many of the addresses you receive will be misspelled, abandoned or non-existent. When a big chunk of your emails goes to such addresses, ISPs, again, might notice. Again, they might block all future emails from you. List merchants know this. It's such a sure thing, they even offer a refund of credit for those addresses up-front.
- And if you're sending through an email service provider and you get blocked, other messages they send from the same IP address could also be blocked. So you'll actually find that no reputable ESP will let you import a purchased list anyway.
- Finally, let's talk sales. Aren't they the ultimate purpose of your emails? Unprepared recipients aren't likely to think, "Oh gosh, I was just hoping for yet another offer from a company I don't know! Let me click over to their site and buy something!"
If you were hoping to sell to this list, you might want to adjust your expectations.
So yes, perhaps you'll have a very large list for a few minutes. But after the bounces, spam complaints and lack of response, you're likely to find yourself worse off than when you started.
Plus, you'll be associated with spam. Is that how you want to spend your marketing budget?
Okay, you're saying. I get your point. But I still need to make sales, and I need people to sell to.
We get that. So we've written up lots of ideas for building your list. They're simple, they're above-board, and they work.
In the words of our Import Specialist, Chase Kramer, "What's really important isn't sending to a bunch of people that aren't all that interested and hoping for a few sales. It's positioning yourself so that a month from now, a year from now, two years from now and beyond, the sales are coming to you."
And beyond the sales, you'll find you have something immeasurably valuable: a list of people who are truly interested in what you have to offer – your own village of customers.

I downloaded the guide, however, it led me to believe it would have tips on obtaining emails if not purchasing lists. This informaiton was not in the guide. Do you suggest cold calling businesses and hoping someone will give you the correct information?1/27/2011 2:39 pm
In my opinion, the best way to build an email list is to offer free SEO/marketing pdf courses through subscription with e-mail. This way you will get targeted people with real e-mail addresses. Try to attract people in different ways to subscribe to the newsletter, to receive free e-courses, to join a contest with the e-mail address, anything that can bring you some correct e-mail addresses, and even targeted people. Thanks for sharing this great article, I've learned a few useful things from it (the rest I knew).1/27/2011 7:33 pm
That's so true… And I believe the point of this article is not only to discourage business owners from buying lists… It's also to highlight the fact that the more targeted your list… The higher your response and conversion rates will be.
So maybe it's time to consider segmenting your lists so they are more targeted. I believe a lot of us have more general lists (myself included) that can be better targeted through getting subscribers in those list to opt in to more targeted lists…
For example if you have a list targeting Internet marketers (pretty general), you may want to segment those subscribers into people who are interested in a) copywriting b) list building c) affiliate marketing etc. You get the picture =)1/28/2011 1:14 am
The list was really useful as we are rolling out an email marketing service now. I think its much better to build up an email database in the ways suggested to avoid bad publicity and negative responses.1/28/2011 4:02 am
Maria ~ Those can certainly be good techniques, as long as people understand you'll be sending them emails in the future.
Carly ~ Exactly!
Yee ~ Once you've got the addresses, carefully reasoned segmenting is definitely important.
Judy ~ I'm sorry; which guide? We've got a few posts that could help on list growth basics, optimizing your web form and taking advantage of smartphone technology to get readers.1/28/2011 9:13 am
Well said. I have been doing a lot of research on this lately and the newest trend is actually grooming a small quality list, not only with email lists but also via social media followers.
The "get rich quick success overnight" tactics are slowly dying down online as a generation of internet marketers has now come and gone. And the legends – the Frank Kerns, The James Shramkos and the Ryan Deisses of the world are leading the way by offering pure honest-to-goodness quality updates to clients who are hungry for what they have.
And they have done this by offering a cool free thing via an initial opt-in form and then leading their client through a journey of value with emails sending tools, tips, freebies and well placed unassuming sales. Thank you!1/29/2011 12:57 am
Solo ads and ad swaps are two ways of effectively buying a list.
I think it could be done well and ethically but would cost at least $1 per lead, if not more and most serious list builders would rather build their own list.
I think that's the real reason that you cannot buy a quality list. Because there is no opportunity to make money as a middleman.1/29/2011 5:02 pm
Can you come up with an article on email software/products to stay away from? Thanks!1/30/2011 4:48 am
Email lists to me only work on customers who are interested in products you sale. We all receive emails everyday from people with products or information which we are not interested in. I never read or open any of these emails with due to fear of a virus or something worse.
Most of my time is spent really getting to know my customers and then ask them if they are interested in joining my email list. Or marketing my email subscription online. In both cases, it has been very successful.
Many businesses have forgotten is good old customer service. Without our customers, we are nothing.1/30/2011 11:49 am
To me, the act of buying lists and then blasting out an email to everyone on that list is mass marketing and as the article notes, can be construed as spam as well.
It might only take a few minutes to import a list and send a mass email but it's not a good practice if the company wants conversions. Sure, it might get the name of the company or product out there (at least for a few seconds before the email owner deletes it or moves it to spam) but an email does not lead to sales.
What leads to sales is the email recipient being interested and having a need for the product or service that is being offered. Without that interest and need it doesn't even matter if the email owner opens the email and reads the whole thing…it will still end up deleted.1/30/2011 5:01 pm
Never thought about buying a list but this is a valid point. Its a shame that many don't respect those "email privacy" stamps. I'd never sell my list and take email marketing very seriously.1/31/2011 2:05 am
Remind me again…how do we use our affiliate link when sharing great articles like this one? Is that possible?
I know this is a support request, but I thought I'd drop it here because this is the type of article that should be spread EVERYWHERE and some readers may not know that they can use an affiliate link when sharing your great content!1/31/2011 2:34 am
I really liked this article. It showed the value in a list, what happens when you use the various forms, and demonstrated resourcefulness in defining and building your own list of highly targeted potential consumers of your products.
Thanks again1/31/2011 2:29 pm
You can add affiliate tracking to a link to any blog post or other aweber.com page by adding a question mark and then your affiliate ID.
For example, if your affiliate ID is 99, then you would change this URL:
http://www.aweber.com/blog/?992/1/2011 1:52 pm | Follow me on Twitter
Before I knew better, I bought a list from a list broker who "claimed" the names/emails came from legit sources. I should have known better, but I sent a small test campaign and it didn't work out as planned – at all. I will never use list brokers again and hope you guys won't either.
My question is:
I have a client who has a list 10,000 that they want to import into Aweber or brand X (but) they are not 100% certain where all of these emails came from. (ie) some were from biz card, trade show etc. Since Aweber uses double opt-in process, what is the best way to get these emails into Aweber and still comply with best practices in email marketing?2/2/2011 1:35 pm
J ~ In order to import their list to AWeber, they'd need to be able to explain all the places their subscribers came from. If the addresses were collected a long time ago, it might be a bad idea to start emailing them now.
Give our Customer Solutions Team a call (877-293-2371) ~ they'll be happy to discuss the specifics of the situation with you!2/3/2011 10:33 am
Some very good valid points. Building a list of email subscribers I suppose can be done in a variety of ways. Building a list of targeted email subscribers can really only be done one way.2/6/2011 8:04 pm
There are thousands of very legitimate email lists on the market; but the emails must be sent out by the OWNERS of the list, or THEIR email service.
In order to have your message sent, you first have to send it to the list owner and get their approval of your message. They will make sure that your message is suitable for their elist subscribers.
For example, if you are offering golf instruciton or merchandise, you can rent a list a ACTIVE SUBSCRIBER TO GOLFING MAGAZINE who have given permission to the magazine to send golf-related email offers.
Email lists available include:
AMA – American Medical Assocation – Lists of doctors by specialty.
Police Officers – from The Law Enforcement Magazine
TIME Magazinze Active Subscribers – 6.1 million eamil addresses available. . . slectable by age, estimated income and other demographic factors.
Sports and Entertainment Enthusiasts – from Tickets.com
— and thousands more.
Anyone using these email marketing services, could have their message link to a Landing Page with an OptIn Form to subscribe to the Users email list.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It's a thriving legitamate way to markiet and reach new people hoping that they will then sign up for YOUR mailing list.
This is totally different than buying or renting an email list and trying to send it out yourselv of through your AWeber service.
-John11/4/2011 4:51 am
No, I never think about this. I used to prefer ans also suggest my all clients to put subscription form to get customers contact details.7/11/2012 6:20 am
With only discuss this issue if it is legal or not, is acceptable to purchase lists, or be alguirn user has not given permission for me is unethical, shame.11/13/2012 5:30 pm
While accepting notice some commentators above that using purchased lists may be legal, I personally think that it is not or should be. Primarily respect to the user and the "enter a house" without permission and a lack of ethics and moral education.

It's time to treat women differently: the case for sex-based medicine
By Sharon Green, executive director, Women's Health Research Institute at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Since the passage of NIH Revitalization Act of 1993, which mandated the inclusion of women in federally funded clinical trials, there has been a growing body of evidence that sex differences are found in all body systems beyond reproductive health. Sex differences can have significant and underestimated consequences in clinical medicine.
The Women's Health Research Institute at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has partnered with five clinical services at Northwestern Medicine, and encouraged the establishment of women-centric clinics that address the special needs of women outside of the traditional women-only conditions such as female cancers. The intent is to integrate new knowledge to complex chronic diseases and overall health. These clinics are not intended to be primary care centers but rather authoritative consulting services where physicians can refer their patients for complicated conditions. Read More
Prentice mom reflects on Northwestern Medicine physician "dream team" who cared for her and her oldest daughter - 08/29/14
By Kara Spak
Some parents call them their "dream team" — a married Northwestern Medicine® obstetrician and neonatologist whose coordinated care extends from the birth of a baby to the care of critically ill newborns.
Kamaljeet "Kay" Murthy, MD, an obstetrician/gynecologist, and her husband Karna Murthy, MD, a neonatologist, don't often work with the same patients. When they do, both physicians say it is a privilege.
"When we do share families it is wonderful to hear what they have to say about his bedside manner," said Dr. Kay Murthy. "He is also the first person I call when I am worried about a delivery." Read More
Sport specificity at a young age increases risk of back injury - 08/29/14
By Natalie Paul
Young athletes today often participate in sports year round and with increasingly competitive club and school sports, it has become common to choose one sport to specialize at a young age. While this specialization may seem like a competitive edge, new Northwestern Medicine® research suggests that repetitive activity in just one sport, high impact or not, may not be a great idea for growing athletes.

Over the past couple of years I've really gotten into being healthy and giving a lot of consideration to trying to be more natural in so many aspects. We do a lot around the house to recycle etc. but the biggest thing for me is slowly switching over to mostly natural beauty products. Its a long process as there are many, many beauty products that contain chemicals and toxins, and I can't give them up as easily as I can say, recycle my water bottles and cans.
I am in the midst of learning more about lotions and creams and hair care products from natural companies. I love using oils to help and heal skin and I've been using Lavender Oil on everything from pimples to cleansing my skin.
Some of my favorite natural brands so far include JASON, Nature's Gate, Alba Botanica, Avalon Organics, Kiss My Face, Burts Bees and Annemarie Gianni Skincare. I encourage you to check them out and utilize natural ingredients in your daily skincare routine.
For Earth Day, there are so many products celebrating such as:
Urban Decay Good Karma Brushes, These are artist-quality, cruelty free, vegan and eco-friendly makeup brushes. Each brush comes encased in a magnetic box fashioned out of recycled egg cartons, the super-soft synthetic brush hair (doesn't hold on to stinky bacteria the way porous animal hair does) is made from recycled PET bottles, and the sleek gunmetal brush handles are recycled aluminum.
Bond No. 9 I Love New York for Earth Day, When it comes to being green, New York is way ahead of the game. Bond No. 9 is celebrating the great state's environmental smarts with this metro-sophisticated eau de parfum in fresh green packaging. A percentage of proceeds is donated toward the State of New York's "green" initiatives – park cleanups, preservation programs, etc.
Caudalie Premier Cru La Crème A facial crème that contains an exclusive, highly concentrated blend of Caudalie's 3 star ingredients to yield firmer, more radiant skin. Its packaging is recyclable and 1% of profits from all Premier Cru products purchased contribute to protecting the environment under the 1% For the Planet movement .
OSEA Malibu skincare founder Jenefer Palmer is a beauty expert and an advocate for safe, healthy, environmentally friendly cosmetic ingredients. Its overwhelming to stop what you've been doing and switch it up by going natural. Here are her tips!
How To Start
I understand it's often not practical to completely replace all of your cosmetics. I would first toss out most of your lipsticks because you're ingesting those synthetic ingredients into your body. Get a cleaner brand that has a natural base. Purchasing a multi-use product acting as a tint for both your lips and cheeks is a great way to save money and reduce your environmental footprint.
Choosing more natural beauty products will keep our internal and external beauty ecologies flourishing.
Get In The Know
Make sure to read all labels carefully. Beware of companies that use deceptive language known as "Green Washing." Because there is little FDA oversight of the cosmetics industry, a company may take advantage of one or more of the many loopholes in Federal oversight in order to slap the words natural or organic on a label when in reality, the product might contain little or no organic or natural ingredients.
