BOSTON – The college hockey world's collective focus was squarely on Agganis Arena Thursday night as NCAA bubble team Boston University hosted Northeastern in the only game of the night.
Unfortunately for the Terriers, the Huskies came out with more air in them and picked up a 4-2 win in Game One of the Hockey East quarterfinal series.
"I thought we got beat by a team that was a little more determined and a little hungrier than we were," BU coach Jack Parker said. "I thought Northeastern played extremely well tonight."
The Terriers recorded a staggering 19 shots on nine power-play chances, including a 38-second 5-on-3 midway through the third, but managed to slip just one puck by Northeastern goalie Chris Rawlings (37 saves) on the man advantage.
"It was not the type of game we wanted to play," said Husky coach Greg Cronin, who returned to the bench for the first time following a six-game suspension for violating NCAA recruiting rules.
"The number of penalties we took is not a very healthy way to try and win a hockey game, particularly against a team as talented as BU. So I really felt fortunate that we dodged a bullet there, giving them nine power plays and a 38-second 5-on-3. I think our penalty killing and our goaltending gets a lot of credit for the win."
Northeastern's third goal came just 20 seconds after a penalty kill early in the second during what proved to be a critical sequence in the game. With his team leading 2-1 after one, Anthony Bitetto was sent to the sin bin just 33 seconds into the middle period for a hold.
Unlike most of the Terriers' power plays on the night, when they were able to get shots but not score, BU struggled to even penetrate the offensive zone on this one.
On the first shift after the penalty came to an end, Braden Pimm took a pass in the neutral zone, raced down the left wing and beat Kieran Millan (26 saves) five-hole a moment before two BU defenders rode the Husky freshman into the left post.
"We had a pretty lackluster power play and they came right back and got a goal afterwards," Parker said, repeating a reporter's question word-for-word. "The first half of the second period I thought was the worst time for us."
It took Steve Silva making it 4-1 Huskies six minutes later before BU finally started playing like a team that was fighting for its NCAA life.
"I thought the second half of the second period we played really well," Parker said. "We had the puck down their zone quite a bit, controlling the puck, getting some opportunities. But it's still 4-1 at the end of the period. We get one back [in the third]. Too late."
For the second straight week, Parker voiced his displeasure with the referees missing what he thought was a clear interference penalty on a faceoff that went uncalled and led directly to a goal.
After last Saturday's 4-3 loss to Northeastern in the regular-season finale, Parker said one of his players was blatantly interfered with on the Huskies' third goal while trying to get out to the point on a faceoff.
Thursday night, Parker said the same thing happened on Northeastern's second goal, which was scored by Wade MacLeod late in the first.
"The second week in a row that we give up a faceoff goal off an interference play that isn't called," Parker said. "That made it 2-1 and that was tough to watch at the end of the period."
Still, Parker didn't blame the officiating for the loss, but rather his team's inability to match the Huskies' effort. He said his team will need to play much better in Game Two Friday night if it hopes to extend its season.
"We have to play better in all three zones," Parker said. "We have to be more determined with or without the puck. We weren't very thorough tonight with the puck. We weren't passing the puck as well as we could. We have to battle better for loose pucks. We have to do a lot more of what we did sometimes during the game tonight, but not anywhere near as consistently as we needed to."

Kana Tsugihara – Most Popular Japanese Idol
Kana Tsugihara's photo gallery was viewed a whopping 1,267,210 times last year, making her the most popular Japanese gravure idol on Kineda. Following closely were Nozomi Sasaki with 1,012,681 views, Yukie Kawamura with 930,152 views and Aki Hoshino with 890,982 views.
If Kineda's stats are of any indication, Kana's sexy appeal should put her on the road to super stardom in 2009. Under her belt already are ads for Microsoft's Xbox 360, Namco's Dead or Alive game series and spots in several TV dramas. The real payoff though, would be a rumored spokes model deal with mega mobile communcations company NTT DOCOMO. Lets keep our fingers crossed for this young starlet.

Talk about a "Hot Topic." Buzz required a pair of Ove Gloves in order to read Kimberley Kennedy's latest blog entry. Read her complete essay here.
The former host of the WSB-TV Saturday night entertainment and news show has finally broken her silence on being let go this summer from her job.
On her blog at kimberleykennedy.com, the author of "Left at the Altar" writes of feeling like a fraud after writing a successful self-help book and then struggling with her bitterness after being sacked from the station.
Writes Kennedy: At the end of June, I unfortunately, became intimately acquainted with another type of rejection. I was fired. . .You can imagine the shock when they called me in out of the blue, with no warning (and that would include good ratings and glowing reviews) to tell me they were letting me go. In light of the current economic climate I wrongly interpreted the ax-ing to mean they were canceling the show. Nope, they were only canceling me.
"It didn't take long for the station to hire my replacement. A woman half my age (and I'm guessing half my salary) with skills (I'm told) befitting her lack of numerical maturity.
"Was I bitter? You better believe it. Bitter, angry, hurt, you name it. . . I had earned that job. And not afraid to say it."

Say it! You would think they'd offer to negotiate, but no, they just axe people now. They shoot themselves in the foot!

My goodness. At least she's expressing it months after the fact as something she had to work through, rather than unleashing an unprofessional tirade right when she got fired.
Why did I think that she and her brother Arch were somehow related to the Cox family?

This is is to let you know that you are truly in my prayers. I took a moment to read your article as I am currently working on my dissertation which is on Disorienting Dilemmas. I chose to write on this subject because I too have had rejections in my life; have been used and abused by employers; and after almost 20 years, am still mad as hell! One passage that I was told to read for a wee bit of comfort was Psalms 37. I pass this along to you. I can say that it sometimes take a while to see the good that comes out of unpleasant situations, but I can truly say that I have seen it. BE BLESSED!

I've certainly missed seeing Kimberly on "Hot Topic". The show is no good now. Hopefully the producers will get their comeuppance.

How sad. Join with the rest of America Kim…..GET OVER IT and move on….find another job and quit looking in the past. They were your EMPLOYER and can hire and fire as they wish……we still live in America….home of the free….Obama hasn't completly wrecked it yet…

Hey KK,
I always thought you were a complete hottie! Don't let the numbers of you and your replacement bother you. Get your "class" out there and find another gig.
September 29th, 2009

Perhaps if we all STOP watching WSB-TV and REFUSE to buy ad time, management will get the hint!! Keep in mind that this is a station run by left-wing loons, whose ideology borders on insanity. One would definitely guess that they're pro-Acorn, too!!!

Kimberly was good, but she shouldn't be surprised that she was fired and replaced by someone younger and cheaper … that is the modus operandi of radio and TV!
Just ask Tom Sullivan and Holly Firfer … fired by 11 Alive (Atlanta & Company) and replaced by ONE host (probably 1/3 the total labor cost of Tommy & Holly).
TV and Radio are doing exactly the same thing that a majority of other industries are doing – saving money whatever way possible.
Anybody with a career in radio and TV knows that you WILL be fired for no reason someday – usually because you're making too much money.
Ask Rhubarb Jones … ask Randy & Spiff … ask Jim Vann … it's inevitable, so stop whining, Kimberly – you knew the gravy train would come to an end soon!
September 30th, 2009
1:11 pm
I suppose Dano is right (I have no personal experience) – that this is how radio and TV operate (and most everywhere else for that matter).
But considering she helped create the show and made it work for 8 years, you would think WSB would have a little more class and a little more loyalty than that. Besides, Kimberley is still quite easy on the eyes and she conveys such a nice personality. She was the show.
I used to watch Hot Topics but have not since they replaced her. Personally I hope the show crashes and burns now. Here's hoping Kimberley's future is bright and idiot WSB station manager is soon looking for a job.

Sorry to hear the news, and I feel your pain. Welcome to 21st century America.

An old Spanish proverb reads, "Bitterness is the liquid that corrodes the vessel in which it is held." I understand how you must feel bitter and my wish is that you are able to release all feelings of bitterness and await the benefit of being kind to all, while still remaining true to yourself.
From one who has appreciated and respected your excellent work . . .

Maybe Kimberley should look at the smoke from her burned bridges and realize that she should be looking for a TV job in other markets- it ain't gonna happen in Atlanta!
October 1st, 2009

I read Kimberly's essay. I find it extremely ironic that she talks about living the life God intended for her and being a role model for her niece yet has no problem slamming the new woman who has taken over for her at Hot Topics. This young woman is starting her career and had nothing to do with her firing. This essay clearly demonstrates that Kimberly Kennedy has little introspection, class, or character. Poor choices like this are most likely what lead to your current situation, not anything else. Though you would like to think so, you are not a victim.

All of you should get over it and watch another show! People put way to much stake in TV in the first place. Its all driven by ratings and money. It has nothing to do with content especially a show like Hot Topics!
October 3rd, 2009
2:38 pm
Yeah – she should have pulled back on slamming her replacement. But since none of us knows what really happened behind the scenes it's a stretch to say that her attitude is why she got fired. With no other evidence, I'll take her at her word on what happened. I've known several people in that industry who have gotten a similiar shaft. It looks like age discrimination to me.
As for Mike – I think everybody is moving on – and probably are watching another show, reading, or going to bed. But, If you feel we're so silly for commenting on this article, why did you bother to read it or these comments?
December 16th, 2009

KK… I remember calling you on behalf of one of my colleagues in Columbus, GA who had such a crush on you. It's been 20+ years but I do wish you the best of luck. I appreciate your works. Very admirable. Hope all goes well.
July 29th, 2010

I think her firing was a stupid move. I liked Kimberly very much. I also have not watched "Hot Topics" since because I don't care for the new girl and didn't like Autumn Sam at all.

One of Brevard's best will represent the county for statewide award
By Meagan McGone
BREVARD -- Six area teachers have been selected as finalists for Brevard Public Schools 2013 Teacher of the Year.
The finalists, which include teachers from three elementary and three secondary schools, were chosen out of 90 Teachers of the Year from individual schools throughout the county.
"These six exceptional teachers represent the talent and dedication illustrated by teachers throughout the district," said Brian Binggeli, superintendent of Brevard Public Schools, in a press release. "When you read their nominations for this award - made by colleagues - you can't help but see the passion that these individuals bring to providing children with the highest quality education possible."
A committee of education, business and civic leaders will choose the Brevard Public Schools' Teacher of the Year, and the decision will be announced in January. In addition to representing Brevard in the state's 2013 Teacher of the Year competition, the winner will also receive more than $3,000 in cash and prizes.
This year's finalists include:
Joanna DiPeppe, an AP English and Composition teacher at Satellite High School: Ms. DiPeppe is a National Board Certified teacher, and she has been with Brevard Public Schools and Satellite High School for 12 years.
"She is just an amazing teacher and woman," said Lexie Byers, a Satellite High School graduate and former student of Ms. DiPeppe. "I always loved writing, but she taught me so much, and I saw a huge improvement in my skills. She made me so confident in my abilities as a writer that I decided to major in public relations, making me a student of the College of Journalism and Communication at the University of Florida. She is brilliant and so caring, and I truly aspire to be like her, as do many of her students."
Susan French, a sixth-grade teacher at Sherwood Elementary School: Of her 23 years of teaching in Brevard County, Ms. French has been at Sherwood Elementary School for the past nine of them.
"She has the characteristics that are necessary to be a great teacher: She inspires students to do their best; she creates a community within and outside her classroom; and she loves to learn and share new ideas," said Sherwood Elementary School's principal Cindy Wilson.
Debra Milliken, a third-grade teacher at Oak Park Elementary School: Ms. Milliken has been a teacher for more than 20 years, and she has taught at Oak Park Elementary School since 2009.
Oak Park Elementary School principal Ron Dedmon said Ms. Milliken is a strong force in education.
"Her dedication, cooperation and commitment to students are commendable," Mr. Dedmon said. "I strongly endorse Ms. Milliken to represent the District as our Teacher of the Year."
Jason Schack, a Physical Education teacher at Melbourne High School: Mr. Schack has been at Melbourne High School for eight of the nine years he has taught in Brevard.
Melbourne High School's principal James Willcoxon said Mr. Schack is an outstanding role model for his students.
"He is a shining example of what a great teacher should represent each and every day with his students and colleagues," Mr. Willcoxon said.
Amber Thibedeau, a Title I Science teacher at Sunrise Elementary School: Ms. Thibedeau has been at Sunrise Elementary School since it opened six years ago. School principal Barry Pichard said Ms. Thibedeau, a nine-year teacher, is a true professional.
"Amber is a leader by example, very enthusiastic and excited about her students and her responsibilities," he said.
Jill Whitacre, a seventh-grade math teacher at West Shore Jr./Sr. High School: Ms. Whitacre has taught at West Shore Jr./Sr. High School for two of the 12 years that she has served the district.
"Every once in a while in our profession, someone comes along that has a special gift for teaching and learning, and inspiring others to do the things they thought they never could," said the school's principal, Rick Fleming. "Here at West Shore, that special person is Jill Whitacre."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Honestly my only beef with WoW is being handled is its paced for dedicated/hard-core guilds. By this time next year we'll be playing the next xpac, and all this content will be worthless - which is fine if your hooked on crack and play like your on it.
If you want a more challenging fantasy rpg game that gives no handouts try Lineage 2 - its a game where if you see someone in Class A armor you know they are very hardcore. The raid bosses are hard, leveling is hard and takes forever (max level could take you 2 years of playing), raid bosses are epic with attunement, keys and gear checks (most 70+ are 45-500 players - yes you read that right - look up Anarthas the earth dragon), PVP is meaningful (taking over a castle with your clan actually lets you own it, and all the taxes collected in that zone!), and PVP has a partial loot system for people who kill defenseless players. Crafting is insane, only doable by one race, and has a failure rate (ie - you hand off all your insanely hard to get mats, and there is a chance it will all get blown up when your dwarf friend tries to make it). I haven't played in ages so I may have facts wrong, but it is a very hardcore game - anyone who plays it is not a casual.
Oh and when you die - you lose 10% of your EXP - just like EQ and you can de-level.
And if Lineage 2 isn't hardcore enough - try Final Fantasy Online - imagine waiting for certain days to craft things (because the world buffs you get come and go depending on what day it is). There used to be 18+ hour boss fights too, but they nerfed that so most bosses take less than 2 hours - carebears.
So the next time someone cries wow is too easy - seriously - you're not being challenged enough - find another mmo and leave us all alone.

Measuring wind turbines remotelyMarch 5, 2014 2:57 pm | News | Comments
The rotor and mast of a wind turbine can oscillate and this plays a big role in equipment development and maintenance. Up to now, this analysis has only been possible at discrete points located directly on equipment. Engineers are now using modern information technology to remotely measure the oscillatory pattern over the entire structure of the facility from several hundred meters away.
Nuclear dump leak raises questions about cleanupFebruary 28, 2014 2:56 pm | by Jeri Clausing, Associated Press | News | Comments
For 15 years trucks have been hauling decades worth of plutonium-contaminated waste to what is supposed to be a safe and final resting place a half mile underground in the salt beds of the Permian Basin in New Mexico. But back-to-back accidents and an above-ground radiation release shuttered the government's only deep underground nuclear waste dump and raised questions about the $5-billion-a-year program for cleaning up legacy waste.

The breakthrough suggests a better way of producing the hydrogen that propels rockets and energizes battery-like fuel cells.
SolarCity to back up solar with Tesla batteriesDecember 5, 2013 12:36 am | by Jonathan Fahey, AP Energy Writer | News | Comments
The solar panel installer SolarCity is beginning to address one of solar power's big drawbacks: The sun doesn't always shine. The solution: big battery packs that will provide backup power while lowering electric bills. The supplier: electric car maker Tesla Motors, whose CEO Elon Musk is also the chairman of SolarCity.
Researchers use simple scaling theory to better predict shale productionNovember 19, 2013 7:05 am | News | Comments
Scientists at The Univ. of Texas at Austin have developed a new method to estimate gas production from hydraulically fractured wells in the Barnett Shale. The approach, which uses a simple physics theory called scaling, is intended to help the energy industry accurately identify low- and high-producing horizontal wells, as well as accurately predict how long it will take for gas reserves to deplete in the wells.
Next generation of biofuels is still years awayNovember 14, 2013 12:54 pm | by Jonathan Fahey, Associated Press | News | Comments
The first trickle of fuels made from agricultural waste is finally winding its way into the nation's energy supply. But the full benefits of this fuel source remain many years away, and ethanol, which was meant to be a stop-gap until non-food sources of fuel were found, has been far more damaging to the environment than the government predicted.
Emissions pricing revenues could overcompensate profit losses of fossil fuel ownersNovember 5, 2013 4:43 pm | News | Comments
According to a study published by scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the strategy of assigning a price to global carbon nanotubes emissions could generate a revenue of $32 trillion over the 21st century, exceeding by far the $12 trillion of lost profits from fossil fuel owners.
A toolbox for carbon dioxide-free buildingsNovember 5, 2013 4:32 pm | News | Comments
A set of new building technologies introduced by an alliance of Swiss companies makes it possible to heat and cool buildings without the emission of carbon dioxide. One initial key element of the system is a hybrid collector, built into the roof construction, that serves as a photovoltaic system delivering both solar power and heat that is fed to an underground accumulator.

The project, a world's first for an exterior window, leverages the potential of dye-sensitive solar cells known as Graetzel cells, which are indifferent to the angle of incidence of light that hits them.
Calif. finds more instances of offshore frackingOctober 21, 2013 7:56 am | by Alicia Chang and Jason Dearen, Associated Press | News | Comments
In waters off Long Beach, Seal Beach and Huntington Beach—some of the region's most popular surfing strands and tourist attractions—oil companies have used fracking at least 203 times at six sites in the past two decades. This discovery made from drilling records and interviews shows that offshore fracking is more widespread and frequent that state officials believed.

Jordan is a very accomplished all round rock climber, with hard trad, sport and bouldering ascents to his name. In the interview below, we find out a little more about him, and what kind of climbing he does.
Jordan Buys on Reservoir Dogs (E8 7a)
Alastair Lee, Feb 2008
© Alastair Lee - Posingproductions.com
INTERVIEW: Jordan Buys (Transcript from the video)
Wild Country: Jordan, how many years have you been climbing and when did you start?
Jordan: I'd say it's about 15 years since I started and I started when I first met Naomi and her brother Joel through mutual friends and they took me out to the crags and also to a local wall in Burnley (that no longer exists) but yeah, and got hooked that way really.
Wild Country: What about your favourite types of climbing and have you got some favourite routes and boulder problems in each of those?
Jordan: I'd say my favourite tends to be dictated by the seasons ... you know, in the winter, gritstone bouldering or trad routes and maybe even some limestone bouldering if it's dry. And with the gritstone, as I say, things that really made an impression on me were things like Widdop Wall, originally E10 and the E9 I did French Duke, at Earl Crag - which I don't know if you know? And then on the gritstone bouldering front, I'd say things like Chabal, at the Gorplestones, it's an absolute under-rated classic and it should be on everyone's ticklists. In the summer season, sport climbing, I'd say I seem to sort of get bitten by that bug - last year I think it was, True North, that was quite an important milestone for me, the first 8C, and this year Cry Freedom; one of my favourites because it was so hard and such a change from my style, that yeah, it definitely made an impression.
Wild Country: You climb a lot with your wife, have you always climbed together, and is it a good thing?
Jordan: Yeah, because before she was my wife she was my best friend, so we do lots of climbing together and she's almost like my tutor. And yeah, because we know each other so well, we know when we need to give each other advice or not give each other advice and we can can also help encourage each other through lulls in our performance.
Wild Country: As someone who climbs on the gritstone as well as hard sport redpoints, how does a headpoint pressure compare to what you feel before a hard redpoint and how do you deal with the pressure of both?
Jordan: I think they're quite comparatable, both of them, bar the fact that headpointing, you generally are going to do it, you wouldn't set off on a headpoint not knowing that you didn't stand pretty much a one hundred percent chance of doing it. There might be the odd route where the crux is well protected and you know you'll perform better on lead which is actually a case I always find myself in. And I suppose sometimes it's the same with sport climbing � that I can sometimes be working something and get absolutely nowhere with the moves or I'll link sections but I don't really have the heart to do it in one but when it comes to the redpoint it all comes together. So I think the headpointing I've done in the past has definitely helped for hard sport, just being really relaxed and not over grouping, it's really useful in both dimensions really, headpointing and redpointing.
Jordan: From back in the day, I think of people like Moffatt and Moon, who always get a mention but I think heroes are the ones that are a bit closer to home, that you have interaction with. So when I first started climbing with Naomi and her brother, we'd go to the local wall and they were all Burnley boys there, really impressive actually, the likes of Jerry Peel and that bunch were good because they were getting out there and doing it and you got to climb with them and learn from them, so that had quite an impact.
Wild Country: Who's the best climber you've ever climbed with and why?
Jordan: I'd have to say Ian Vickers because when you climb with him, he's got really strong arms!
Wild Country: What's the best and what's the worst thing that's happened to you in climbing?
Jordan: I'd say the best thing that's happened is the opportunity to go away to places, in this country or abroad, that not many people will see and even if they do see it, it's like a high tourist site but as a climber you get to get right in there at the bottom of it and see a beautiful place from a whole different angle.
Wild Country: Training - how much, how often and hard do you train?
Jordan Buys on Power Ranger (8b+) Malham.
Alastair Lee
© Alastair Lee - Posingproductions.com
Jordan: I'd say I do two to three days a week training, maybe two to three hours in the actual session and I try to keep it quite hard because I want to progress but I don't want to get too tired that it affects me at the next opportunity I get to go climbing. And I find training at the crag quite good actually at the moment. So say if I'm redpointing but the conditions aren't quite right, I'll go and do laps... just to feel like I've done something and that way I'm not sort of beating my head against the wall with bad conditions... but I think it is key to just do little and often and just focus on the bits that you haven't already worked on when you've been climbing in that session or the last few sessions.
Wild Country: Work - how do you hold down a full time job and still climb to such a high standard?
Jordan: Well, the work I do is quite physical, so that's good training I think but I try to save a little bit of energy to go climbing � and I think anybody can climb at a high level, it's just that when you get the opportunity to go climbing, give it everything because it's what's got you through your day at work, isn't it, and when you get there, don't be miffed if things aren't feeling a hundred percent, just give it your all and, yeah, you can just climb really hard.
Wild Country: Right, a bit of a fun quiz, Lady Gaga or Madonna?
Wild Country: Moffatt or Moon?
Wild Country: Maybe! Sport or trad?
Wild Country: Boulder or sport?
Wild Country: Football or rugby?
Wild Country: Meat or fish?
Wild Country: Avatar or Star Wars?

To Try This Weekend:
Three Little Projects with a Big Impact
Apartment Therapy Video Roundup
Who doesn't like to get a little bang for their buck? If you're interested in a weekend project that won't take much time but will have a big impact on the look of your home, then check out these three videos from our archives.
Here's a simple idea for a home office, or any place you want a spot to jot things down: instead of hanging a big chalkboard, paint one on the wall with chalkboard paint. It's minimal, inexpensive, and gets the job done. Check it out in Jennfer's home office.
This is one of my favorite tips, from former Apartment Therapy staffer Cate Griffin: paint just the inside of your front door. It's a quick project that requires minimal effort, but provides a big impact.
And finally, from interior designer Rebecca Robertson: want a large-scale piece of art with a big impact? Large pieces can be hard to find, and very expensive, but Rebecca offers a few options for making art with a big impact yourself, on the cheap.
Thanks for watching, and happy weekend!

Wait. How can your initial photograph show yellow walls with silver ginko leaves and not have any further word about it? It looks like it must be the initial How To, but nothing! I guess I'll have to figure it out myself, because I love it. . . .

How to Make Scones
Get perfect scones every time with these techniques.
Video Transcript
To make the dough for scones, combine the flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Add the liquid ingredients, and nuts if they are called for in the recipe, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Don't overstir or the scones will be tough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 or 4 times. For these Orange-Pecan Scones, divide the dough in half and pat each portion into a 6-inch circle. Place the two circles of dough onto a large lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle each with turbinado sugar. Cut each circle into 6 wedges, but do not separate the wedges. Bake until golden. Let the scones stand for about 5 minutes before separating the wedges.

The World Loves Wi-Fi and WiMAX
The technology leaves its mark on security
WiMAX may be a bit longer coming to the market and will have a tough row to hoe in the video segment. Vittore noted the huge capacity demands of video. "Video sucks up so much bandwidth," he added.
Yet, Shakouri acknowledged the challenge. "We need to handle higher data rates and leverage multiple technologies," he said. He noted the demand from utility companies seeking to safeguard and monitor the Smart Grid and for public safety departments to be able to obtain and secure their security data. It is not good if the bad guys can listen in on transmissions. The WiMAX Forum concentrated first on security of the transmissions. When WiMAX-3 comes out, Shakouri said, it will likely provide gigabit coverage. "100 MB will not be enough," he said. "And I'm 100 percent sure we will see wider channels-in the 100 MHz range."
The big advantage of WiMAX is the distances it covers. WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access up to 30 miles for fixed stations and three to 10 miles for mobile stations. That is incrementally better than Wi-Fi's wireless local area network standard which stretches only to 300 feet. With WiMAX, the issue of interference is lessened since it offers bandwidth in the licensed spectrum.
With WiMAX-2, the technology can provide higher system capacity with a peak rate of 300 Mbps and lower latency. Under WiMAX-2, the 802.16m standard will meet the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) requirements for 4G or "IMT-Advanced."
Companies like Alvarion, Beceem, GCT Semiconductor, Intel, Motorola, Samsung, Sequans, XRONet and ZTE as well as the Taiwanese Research Organization, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), worked with the WiMAX Forum to accelerate the implementation of interoperable system profiles for WiMAX-2.
With 802.16m approved as a standard, Shakouri expects companies to roll out product at the end of this year or early in 2012. "Timing depends on the vendors," he said.
North American companies have been slow to embrace WiMAX, however. The standard enjoys much higher adoption rates in Asia, Europe and Africa than it does in the United States or Canada.
The newer iterations of WiMAX may answer that challenge. Whether for home security or monitoring campus or area-wide video surveillance, Shakouri maintains that video is one of the areas where WiMAX offers significant advantages. It has reach, security and bandwidth, he said. But, he added, the ultimate solution will involve multiple technologies.
"At the end of the day, Wi-Fi or ZigBee will act in the local area and WiMAX will provide the wide-area coverage. The key is integrating multiple technologies that will give an end-to-end solution."

TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers
The Philadelphia Phillies announced Sunday that they acquired infielder Michael Young from the Texas Rangers for right-handed relief pitcher Josh Lindblom and minor league righty Lisalberto Bonilla. Young, who wants to play more regularly, dropped his no-trade clause to go to Philadelphia. The Phillies will pay $6 million of Young's $16 million salary for next year. Young also gets a $1.2 million bonus for waiving his no-trade clause. Young, 36, spent the first 12 years of his career with the Rangers. His role with Texas would have decreased next season after he struggled to a .277 batting average this year, his lowest in 10 years. He also had career lows with eight home runs and a .682 OPS. He was the Rangers' designated hitter in 2012 but also played parts of 86 games at all four infield positions. Young, a career .301 hitter with 984 RBI, is third all-time for the Rangers in both categories. He is the franchise's all-time leader in hits (2,230), games play...

Walgreen Company Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (WAG)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, WAG's share price has jumped by 28.01%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, WAG should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.36, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.44 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.
- WALGREEN CO's earnings per share declined by 31.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, WALGREEN CO reported lower earnings of $2.42 versus $2.94 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.25 versus $2.42).
- WAG, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 4.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.6%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.

Following the news on Saturday that the LA Lakers had fired head coach Mike Brown, there has been an influx of speculation about how the team will cope with the change, who would take on the challenge as an interim coach and ultimately, who would replace Brown. We've seen a very vulnerable Lakers team so far this season and yes, there are some excuses. Dwight Howard's back, Steve Nash's Leg, Kobe Bryant's foot as well as others but the biggest concern amongst many fans was that Mike Brown was still holding his position as head coach.
After the worst start to a season since 1993/94, the Lakers had been very close to pushing the panic button with many people beginning to believe this may be a reincarnation of the much over-hyped team of 2004/05 and not in fact as scary as most thought they would be. Including the preseason, this Lakers team of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash and Metta World Peace went 1-12. One single win in 13 games over 5 odd months. This team of superstars found themselves alone at the stone cold bottom of the Western Conference. Granted, it's early days but fans in LA don't want to wait. They want to win. Now.
As is usually the case, the Coach is the first to be put in the hot seat and boy was Mike Brown in trouble. Following the Lakers hideous loss to the Utah Jazz on Thursday, fans were again calling for his head. Surprisingly, owner Jim Buss came to Brown's side to defend the man he personally selected to coach the Lakers following the departure of Champion coach Phil Jackson 2 years ago. Buss stood firm on Brown's ability to turn the Lakers' fortunes around and showed faith and trust in his coach, but in the end this wasn't the truth at all and Brown's firing came but 48 hours later.
So is it right that this storied franchise abandoned all hope that Brown could relight a fire underneath it and move on, or should they have given him more time to steady the ship? It's hard to tell until the Lakers either start winning, or continue losing. All we can do is speculate as to how it could fail, and how it could work.
Mike Brown's tenure as coach in Cleveland garnered him the title of coach of the year in 2009 after taking the Cavaliers to a 66-16 record and a Conference Semi Finals birth but the disappointment that followed saw him fired in May of 2010 and join ESPN as an analyst. In 2011, he was hired by the Lakers following their exit in the Conference Semi's to Dallas and Phil Jackson's retirement. The shortened, 66-game season was a disappointment for the Lakers who slumped and were again eliminated in the conference semi finals by a red hot Oklahoma City Thunder. Yes, this was an aging Lakers team with no point guard and little bench power, but as always more was expected of them and blame fell directly on Brown's shoulders.
The Lakers management then had one of the most active off season's in some time, trading for superstars Dwight Howard and Steve Nash whilst also gaining the services of bench utilities Antawn Jamison and Jodie Meeks. The new season suddenly became the Lakers to lose, and the thought process was that this was the team to beat in the West, and maybe the league in it's entirety. But then came the preseason, and the infiltration of a new style of offense known as the Princeton. Likened to Phil Jackson's triangle, this new approach was designed to create more open space for players and encourage easy buckets. But it didn't work. Many questioned the use of the Princeton with players such as Howard, Gasol and especially Nash being such experts in the pick and roll which the Princeton doesn't utilize at all. Assistant coach Eddie Jordan was the man responsible for the Princeton and unfortunately for LA it didn't all go to plan. They are third in the league for turnovers averaging a whopping 18 per game, most of which have led to opposition transition points.
But the offense wasn't the main reason behind the emphatic collapse of this super power. The Lakers defense over the past month has been nothing short of disgraceful, a fact that sees the Lakers leading the league in opposition second chance points and a big fat head ache. How do we limit turnovers, start scoring, utilize our guys and defend like we have a 3-time defensive player of the year on our team? The Lakers believed that the first step in answering these questions was firing Mike Brown. So on Saturday morning at approximately 7AM (Aus), that's exactly what they did.
Was it too soon? Maybe. Was Brown the right coach for this group? Probably not. It's widely known he was disliked by the fans, and more recently it was suggested he and Kobe Bryant had had a falling out, but the players continued to stick by their coach and the way he led the team. In the end though, it simply wasn't enough. Brown's inconsistent coaching style, and strange rotations continued to cause grief and there really was only one thing to be done. With cries of Jackson, D'Antoni and Sloan ringing around the media, it became more and more apparent that Mike Brown's time in Los Angeles had come to an end. And so it was. There were reasons to keep this defensively minded coach, and it may have been a little too early, but with names floating around like the aforementioned it seemed as though it was the right decision.
Since coming on board as interim coach, Bernie Bickerstaff has overseen wins against Golden State and Sacramento and the players seem to have found an energy they lacked under Coach Brown. Granted, wins against two underachieving sides is nothing to write home about, but it's worthy of a good old cheer for many Lakers fans who have suffered over the past few months at the hands of their struggling heroes. But, it now seems as though there is a spark there that many thought would never show itself.
Where to now however? Well, it seems as though the Lakers don't want to muck around. As mentioned earlier, there have been names thrown around that might be suitable to fill the position, those being former Knicks (and Steve Nash) coach Mike D'Antoni, former Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and the Zen Master himself, Phil Jackson. All have their qualities, and all would benefit the club for different reasons, but all reports point to Jackson once again taking the reigns of the team he left not two years ago. Jackson being back on board would surely be a step in the right direction for the team. His ability to not only get the best out of his players but also to keep the bigger egos and locker room etiquette under control will be huge for this team in the coming months.
Reports suggest the Lakers met with Jackson yesterday and offered him a 2 year deal worth $10 Million and according to sources at ESPN, is a 95% chance to sign on for his third tenure as coach of the Lakers. Two issues facing him are his health and the rigorous travel schedule, and the hiring of his assistants Kurt Rambis and Scottie Pippen (yeah, I was surprised as well). As long as these hurdles are crossed, don't be surprised if you see Phil Jackson back on the sidelines by the next time the Lakers take the court against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday (AU).
What do you think? Did the Lakers do the right thing by firing their coach, or is it too early to call? Let us know via Twitter @NBANationOZ or in the comments below!

Adrian Peterson arrested for resisting arrest at Houston nightclub
Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson spent a night in jail after he was taken into Houston Police custody for resisting arrest early Saturday.Adrian Peterson was arrested near 2:30 a.m. CDT, and was released at 10:14 a.m. on a $1,000 bond. The Houston Police Department's website recorded the charges against Adrian Peterson as "resist arrest/search unclassified."
"We are aware of the situation," the Minnesota Vikings delivered in an official statement. "We will withhold further comment until more information is known."
The 27-year-old Adrian Peterson was arrested at a downtown nightclub for hitting an off-duty Houston Police Department officer in the shoulder when he approached the running back upon routine rounds, with the request to leave due to closing time.
Due to his unmanageable attitude, Adrian Peterson was asked to turn around and place his hands behind his back. But Adrian Peterson declined to fulfill that request too. Sensing the hostility, a second Houston Police Department officer stepped in to attempt the arrest, still Adrian Peterson could not be over-powered by the duo. It took the addition of a third Houston Police Department officer to arrest Adrian Peterson, wrap up the scene and take the offender to jail. Initially, Adrian Peterson said he was experiencing a shortness of breath, but the Houston Police Department who checked the player stated that there was no cause to worry about.
Despite his unreasonable behavior, Adrian Peterson was not taken through a toxicology test. Even the police officers deemed it unnecessary to determine whether Adrian Peterson was drunk or were his and responses and cognitive functioning impaired.
The general manager of the nightclub, Daniel Maher, noted that Adrian Peterson seemed heavily intoxicated that night. Adrian Peterson is known by the club management for his unruly behavior and that night as the bar was closing, the player hurried to the counter for a last drink. When he was refused a drink, Adrian Peterson "tried to intimidate the bartender" into getting him one. He wouldn't even leave on the request of the general manger.
Daniel Maher recalled that's when the off-duty police officer, who was working security, intervened. Adrian Peterson was not pleased by this response and "assumed an aggressive stance," which followed a push ta the officer by the player who yelled, ""I heard you the first time." Not long afterwards Adrian Peterson was arrested.
The charges against Adrian Peterson are filled as amisdemeanor and he is scheduled to appear in front of a judge in Harris County on 13 July, which falls on Friday.
Adrian Petersonhad just returned from a left knee injury that had cut his season short to 970 yards and 12 touchdowns, due to which the former Oklahoma top prospect was unable to keep-up his four-consecutive season record of rushing for over 1,200 yards.Adrian Peterson tore his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments on 24 December and had recently predicted a return in the Week 1 of next season.
During five seasons with the Minnesota Viking,Adrian Peterson ran for 6,752 yards and recorded 64 touchdowns. Adrian Peterson was signed by the Minnesota Vikings to a seven-year contract in 2011, worth $96 million.

Defenseman Ron Hainsey finished his third season with the Thrashers with a plus-3 rating, second among full-season players. He had three goals and 16 assists, which included a seven-game stretch with two game-winning goals and a game-winning assist. Hainsey's point production increased over the second half of the season with two goals and 11 assist in the final 31 games. He was one of three Thrashers to play all 82 games.
In the next of a series of interviews with Thrashers players following the 2010-11 season, here is some of what Hainsey had to say about what went wrong, what needs to be fixed and his improved play.
Q. In your mind, what went wrong this season?
A. The critical stretch was February where we played some of our best hockey and got some of our worst results. We played at Phoenix (lost 4-3), Edmonton (lost 5-3) and Buffalo (lost 4-1). Buffalo and us were really close. We had [the first] two games where we had the lead and gave it away … and then lost the Buffalo game and from there we just couldn't get it back to a position where we were in a [playoff] spot. It's disappointing. From where we were 35 games in we should have been there. But we aren't and we have to figure out why and fix it.
Q. What would you say, going forward, needs to be fixed?
A. More consistency. We did not play well in January and we probably got a few more wins out of January than we earned. Then we played well that Washington game, 1-0 before the all-star break, so we finished that month good. Even the last week of December wasn't very good. Then we got right back on it in February, but just didn't get the results. So, you have to examine those games and see what we did. It seemed like it was something different. Whether it was penalties at the wrong time, there are a bunch of different things. If we can stay more consistent and don't have a month where we don't play well, six weeks where you have to bring it back, would help a lot.
Q. How about your season personally? You were the only defenseman, here all season, with a plus rating.
A. I've been plus-13. I've been minus-15. I think I've had better years as a minus than I have as a plus. It's such a team stat. In certain cases it can be an accurate reflection. In other cases it's not. It's a team stat and this year I came out on the plus side. I've come out on the other end too. I guess it's one nice thing to look at.
Q. I talked to coach Ramsay a few weeks back and he said you were better with your stick this season and, lately, better at the blue line and not playing so safe. That had a direct result with your increased point production. Do you feel that's true? Did it take awhile to get to that point?
A. Yes. There were adjustments that had to be made in my game that I probably wasn't as fast doing as we would have liked. The offensive side was pretty slow the first half. It picked up. It's the old, if you get more time, you get more results. There is no such thing as a coach who thinks a player is going to score a lot of goals and doesn't put him out there. There is no such thing, even though players sometimes think it does. I showed a little bit the end of January, beginning of February and made some good plays like the overtime goal. You get confidence. The coach gets confidence and you can start to roll. The biggest thing you have to realize is the coach wants guys out there who can make plays and make big plays. You have to show it to get out there. It was a slow first half offensively. It was a better second half. Hopefully it will be more of the second half starting next year.
Q. Was that 8-2 loss to Buffalo [on March 19] the unofficial end of the season?
A. It wasn't good. We would have either been two [points] back for six back. It's hard to make up points, especially when you have 10 games left. If you want to make up four points if they other team goes 7-3 you have to go 9-1 to tie them. It's harder to make up even four points, especially if the other team plays well. It was a big game. They scored 24 seconds in and that's never a good sign. We got off to a poor start and got behind the eight ball and could never come back. When it's the team you are chasing, it's definitely not good.
I think we were alright after that. We played some good games. When you fall behind six points after that game and that's a lot of points in a short amount of time.
The series will continue over the next couple of weeks. Coming Tuesday, Jim Slater.

Another contract that has been a stone for the Thrashers. I have neither good or bad things to say about Hainsey. Or maybe, he gets the job done but can not hit the net at all with a shot for the past several years. There are 10 other Ron Hainsey's out there without the burden of being over priced. A little too late though.
April 25th, 2011
9:05 am
Banana, I disagree. This was Hainsey's best year as a Thrash by far. He played (for the most part) with his head up. Better vision of the ice, smarter plays. Like all the Thrash, he had some bone-head plays, but his numbers show it and his confidence was on the uptick when everyone else's was riding the roller-coaster the other way. I think his contract is "generous" but if he continues to build on this year's play, we could see even better things next year. He needs to help us hold the blue line when the other team tries to enter our zone, use his big body to hit (Coach, can you hear me? yes, hitting is part of NHL hockey!), and perhaps we'll keep our team in Atlanta and have something approximating professional hockey next season.
April 25th, 2011
9:46 am
People rag on Hainsey all the time … but you have to realize …
Those breakaways, or exciting offensive plays? Often, they start with Hainsey breaking up a play.
The guy is very quietly right in the middle of *everything*, and people often never even notice.
April 25th, 2011
10:17 am
Hainsey had his best season as a Thrasher, IMO. But its all relative. This is 3 seasons into a multi-year, $4 million a year contract.
Appreciated Ron's play with Sopel on the 3rd line in the first half. Less minutes, solid defensively and no detectable attitude. Would really like to see some uppper body strength on Hainsey. He's a tall guy with virtually no effective physical game. Hard to believe he followed any kind of off-ice workouts in any off-season, nevermind during this season. Woud be interesting to know how Ramsay felt about that, and how much emphasis he places on the off-ice work. I get the feeling its a lot.
April 25th, 2011
11:12 am
Agree with Sam. Hainsey benefited from Ramsay's coaching the most. It's like playing within the system helps him compensate for his softness. But he's still overpaid for what he's worth. Sorry, Ron.
April 25th, 2011
2:08 pm
It doesn't matter what he is paid because we are so far below the cap. Ron is ok, needs a steady partner and to get more consistent at moving people out of the front of the net.
Other than that, I think he is he is a good defenseman.
April 25th, 2011
2:40 pm
I think you have to look at Hainsey's new role with the team when you look at his point production. 1. He saw a decrease in overall ice time by about 4 minutes a game. 2. He saw hardly any PP time. 3. He was playing as the 5th man for most of the season.
That new defencive role and less of an offensive guy contributed to his +/- and team leading shot blocks. He has always been a good shot blocker – something he does not get much credit for.
He's still a good two way skater and moves the puck very well. He was the teams best penalty killing D-man and I wish that role would have increased especially over Oduya when Sopel left. He also had one of the team's best Goals Against Per Game Averages, having been on the ice just 67 times in 82 games when the opposition scored.
I like what Hainsey is bringing as a 4th or 5th guy. I think he can still get points while focusing more on the D side since the Thrashers already have another 4 guys who are two-way D-men and 2 of those are offense oriented and 1 completely so.
April 25th, 2011
2:47 pm
One Question With Tom Glavine:
Are you, Smoltz, and Chipper making that big Thrashers announcement Tuesday, or Wednesday?
April 25th, 2011
3:59 pm
Remember that the reason that Hainsey is overpaid is because we needed his large contract to meet the cap floor at the time.
April 25th, 2011
5:48 pm
Hainsey has not been that bad for Atlanta, there are much more serious problems on defense, namely number #4.
April 25th, 2011
9:02 pm
Hainsey may be the most overpaid, over rated player in any sport in any league. There…I said it. Elephant in the room shot.
April 26th, 2011
3:27 am
No mention of how many times he "tipped it' into his own net??
Or screened his own net-minder??
I think many times his 'blocked' shots were by accident…. as many times he gave a half-hearted effort to get in front.
He reminds me of some of our early year D-men…. it's not a puck…it's a 'hot potato!'
Let me get rid of this thing just as damn quick as I can!! blindly or no!
Nahhh, I wouldn't miss him….. not to say he's all bad….just mediocre.
His game doesn't justify his arrogance.
April 26th, 2011
5:25 am
Hainsey deserves every bit of criticism he receives. He has been terrible for the most part during his tenure here and an even more terrible bloated contract that can't be moved. Hanisey is the poster child for typical "thrasher effort" which includes lackluster and non committed play..something Rammer scolded Hainsey on in preseason if I remember correctly. Hainsey wasn't able to hustle and was pulled aside. I am also pretty sure when players harp about lack of effort and mention it's not just applied to young players, the "veterans" they are talking about obviously include Ron Hainsey.
April 26th, 2011
12:37 pm
It's true that Ron Hainsey's contract helps the Thrashers attempt to reach the floor of the salary cap. Ron Hainsey isn't Gawd aweful. He isn't great, either. Yes, he's overpaid, but he does provide a role and service to this team. I'm happy he wound up a being a + player this year. Hainsey showed some improvement this season. At the end of the day, that's what we hope for.
We cannot undo his contract. That ship has sailed. Then GM Don Waddell tried, as hard as he could, to land Brian Campbell. He didn't want to walk away 'empty-handed' during the 'Frenzy,' so he picked up Ron Hainsey, at UFA pricing, 2008-style. That's better than nothing. It's better than an AHL call-up. Ron Hainsey strikes me as a straight shooter, with a lot of personality. He doesn't surgarcoat things, which is what I like about him. I don't do 'sugarcoating' either.
Re: Moving his contract. I do think it's possible to package Hainsey's contract, in a multi-player deal. But, if you're Atlanta, you need the $4.5 million to get you ever closer to the floor of the cap. By the way, how is it that Atlanta wasn't punished by the NHL for violating the terms of the CBA by being under the cap? Did they file for some 'special exemption,' that got approved and hushed-up by the league? If teams can't go over the cap, then they shouldn't be able to be under the cap, either.

I don't bite, I promise. Posts include Dreamworks, photography, artwork, witty things, nightblogging, wolves, fanfiction, cosplay, Pokemon, Animal Crossing and other things. Occasionally NSFW but it will be tagged as such. Occasionally personal things, which will also be tagged as such.
