COOL DATE IDEA: take a really long nap with me
Scientifically and psychologically speaking, long periods of physical contact or just closeness stimulate chemicals in the brain that promote trust. If you've ever slept while cuddling somebody you just met, you know how incredibly comfortable you feel with them after you wake up, as if you've known each other for years. So yes, a long nap together is actually the ideal date if your goal is a relationship based on trust.
Spiders eat their parents all the time and no one cares when they do it so what the fuck

How about you mind your own business
Dimitri you cruel person.

Forget Tech: Here's Why You Should Buy a Factory
In this piece for Forbes, I wrote about why all the entrepreneurs I know want to go into tech. They can't imagine owning a factory. It's not sexy enough. To me, this screamed opportunity: I wanted to enter an industry in which I didn't fit the usual profile. It's a counter-intuitive approach.

The last few days of Hurricane Katrina coverage have been some of the most gut wrenching news coverage most of us have seen since the September 11th attacks. A major U.S. city now sits underwater while we watch its poor, helpless residents clinging to their rooftops waiting for rescue. Surrounding areas devastated with hardly a structure left standing. The stranded evacuees. The looting. Hundreds probably dead and tens of thousands likely left homeless.
Much of the reporting is certainly worth reading, yet Slate's article by assistant editor Josh Levin stands out in my mind. Levin, who grew up in New Orleans, shares his poignant thoughts on the destruction of his home town:
I have to keep reminding myself that this is the same patch of land where I went to school and played baseball and had dinner with my grandparents every Friday night. Every time some new, awful report bubbles up—of prisoners rioting, of looters menacing Children's Hospital, of water so high there aren't roofs to wave a white flag from, of people lying on the interstate waiting for someone to tell them where to go and what to do—New Orleans seems more like a scene out of 28 Days Later than a place where people ever lived and worked and raised their families.
A little more than 48 hours after Katrina strafed the city, I'm starting to mourn a place that's not quite dead but seems too stricken to go on living....
Read the complete article: Mourning My New Orleans: Our family has lived there for a century. Where will we go now?

About us…
The Single Parents-Divorced Adults Meetup group is a social networking group intended for single parents as well as those who have gone through a divorce or expect to be going through a divorce in the near future. As many of us know all too well, going through a divorce and/or living as a single parent can result in feelings of grief, anger, loneliness and isolation. The goal of this group is to create a comfortable, caring and safe network of friendship and support where members can connect with others in similar situations, share feelings and learn from each other's experiences. It is our belief that this is best accomplished through a combination of monthly group discussions and activities for members and their children. Please note, however, that you do NOT have to be a parent to belong to this group!
Monthly meetings, outings and activities are designed to provide a fun social outlet and promote friendships. The group is open to members both with and without children, and a variety of both adults-only and kid-friendly activities will be planned. It is important to note, however, that "kid-friendly" does not mean that only those with kids can attend, or that it is an activity that only kids would enjoy. It simply indicates an activity or event where children are welcome. We hope that you will decide to join us!

Giants hand Madison Bumgarner $35 million extension
John Shea reporting from extension central . . . Fourteen days after contractually locking up Matt Cain through 2017, the Giants handed another young starting pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, a five-year extension through 2017.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Albany's four Million dollar weekend is fast approaching. Albany State University's Homecoming has a huge impact on the economy.
Thousands of alumni, and fans will not only pack the stadium this weekend, they'll also pack stores, restaurants and hotels. And the businesses are ready to welcome them with open arms.
Blue and Gold Ribbons are hanging from doors, Marquees welcome ASU Alumni and fans and hotels are already booked solid for the weekend. And business leaders we spoke to say it's time for Albany to play ball.
Albany State Senior Sarah Mack will be kicking off the football game with the national anthem on Saturday. But when she's not serving up song on the football field, she'll be here at Maryland's Fried Chicken serving customers, including ASU alumni.
"We're looking for a lot of customers to come, so that's good," She said.
It's actually great news, says owner Richard King. He says this economy has been rocky, but he knows this weekend will rock for business.
"It's really been a struggle, so we need these people and it's great that they do come back, even if it's just for that one weekend, we appreciate them," King said.
Many of the alumni dined at Maryland's when they lived in Albany. Now, they bring back friends and family members and don't mind dropping their money while they're here.
"Not only do they spend money without flinching, whatever they've done, they've done well, but they are so complimentary of us being here and they appreciate us," said King.
But not as much as businesses like his will appreciate them. Not only will they pack the restaurants, they'll be staying in our hotels, which are fully booked.
"They'll be people, people everywhere," said Jaye Lomax of Sleep Inn, "and they will spend money. These alumni that come here, they spend money, so it's huge."
Time for everyone in Albany to put on their game faces for the big game. "This is our show time," said Lomax. "Come on, let's go. Go Rams!"
The Chamber of Commerce is encouraging every business in town to welcome alumni and fans by putting up Blue and Gold ribbons and signs welcoming them to town.

Tasmania Symphony Orchestra - Little Red Riding Hood
A girl in a red cape. An old lady in bed. A cunning wolf. Roald Dahl takes the familiar ingredients of Little Red Riding Hood and gives them a fresh makeover in his quirky retelling of the classic fairy tale. As you would expect, his adaptation is filled with idiosyncratic delights. Maybe grandma isn't quite so helpless. Maybe the wolf isn't quite so clever. Maybe Red Riding Hood isn't quite so gullible. Dahl's whimsical adaptation is paired with an equally good-humoured score by composer Paul Patterson. The Brothers Grimm were never quite as much fun as this!
Music by Paul Patterson
Story adapted by Donald Sturrock from Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes

The Microsecond Payment Model
Voices, July 22, 2010
David Barksdale is trying to build his personal wealth and that of his company by shaving off microseconds in the time it takes for an electron to travel from Chicago to New York.
His Spread Networks is using a variety of high-bandwidth technologies and the oldest of routing maxims – the fastest route between two points is a straight line – to shave tens of microseconds off the time it takes for an instruction to move between this nation's two primary market centers. He's trying to achieve "clean speed,'' for 825 miles of 13.33 thousandths of a second.
William O'Brien is trying to keep up with the Joneses. The Nasdaq Stock Market and the BATS Exchange both now claim to process buy and sell orders in 250 microseconds. That's 250 millionths of a second.
So, in its successful bid to make his company, Direct Edge, the fourth and newest of this country's national stock exchanges he oversaw a process that replaced one data center with capacity constraints with two data centers that each had redundancy built inside and that each in turn could backup the other. And, oh, yes, could cut the speed of acknowledging an order from 1.2 thousandths of a second to 340 millionths.
But speed can only get you so far. With the next iteration of Intel microcircuitry, O'Brien and his chief technology officer, Steve Bonanno, will get the time it takes to acknowledge an order down to 100 microseconds. That, said differently, is 10 billionths of a second.
The other exchanges will be there as well. The race to zero microseconds is on. And none of these players will allow itself to be left behind: Nasdaq, BATS Exchange, Direct Edge or the "venerable" New York Stock Exchange. Oh, yeah. The NYSE will be unveiling its massive challenge to all comers -- its own state-of-the-art multi-exchange, multi-customer operating facility in Mahwah, N.J. – by roughly Labor Day.
The NYSE is spending big bucks. But Direct Edge showed that you can achieve mean speeds by just using industry-standard servers, chips and technologies in little more space than a Radio Shack store to compete, in the no-latency-per-trade game.
When asked what comes after the no-latency parry and thrust, O'Brien will tell you innovation. His example is "mid-point matching,'' which allows trades to always execute at the midpoint of the best bid and offer available, nationally.
Other innovations will surely come to pass, he will aver, any time asked.
So here's a suggestion of an innovation that really will make a difference. And show that technology really makes a difference.
Bill (and David): Make payment part of the race to zero.
Right now, firms say they trade in microseconds. And everything you build into your data centers and your optical transmission nodes is designed to speed up those trades.
But, in any economics, nothing ain't nothing until it gets paid for. And, as of now, the "latency" in settling a trade is three days.
As asserted here before, that is hogwash. One side of a trade is subsidizing the other side of a trade, if it takes three days to settle a transaction "made" in a microsecond.
Direct Edge's EDGX exchange pays "makers" of liquidity for putting out limit orders to buy or sell shares of a particular stock at a particular price. And "takers" get charged a fee, to get the deal done.
That suggests an almost-obvious parallel piece of innovation.
Give market participants who pay for their purchases at the time of transaction – the "trade" – a discount that is calculated to be equal to the average return of holding the amount of money involved for the three days that follow.
This would give the sellers three days of what they are already owed – their money – and the chance to show that their new use of the money is better than the old.
The payor would get a bonus for paying right away. And, if done right, still have a three-day settlement period.
Just like with credit card purchases in the consumer world, the payor would have the chance to challenge the terms of the transaction and the transaction itself – for three days. If the payor can prove, through its own systems, that the price, amount of shares or other key detail of the trade was not what it ordered, then it gets its money back.
Time to get on a race to zero in settlement. Time to get money to its rightful owner. In a microsecond.
It's not that hard. The technology is there. Just set up the business model that incents it to happen.

It saddens me to visualize our ignorance
We are perishing for the lack of knowledge
This world is ours
But we chose to destroy ours
Harmony, disregard of equality
Ideologies, beliefs and culture
Differences is all we catch a glimpse of
Emphasis on the negativity
When do we grow, Learn and Surpass
Surpass these false mentality
We are one. Why seize to acknowledge
Yes our differences elevates variety
It shouldn't accrue disparity
We have fought senselessly
Blood splattered in the name of shallow vision
I pray we get a grip of our madniess
And cure the restless insanity
Life is for us to inhale, exhale joy
religious war should be past
We have come a long way
One nation we are one
Long live oneness.
Steak sandwich
Its hard not to get caught up in the every day life of gossip in a company or even among peers or innermost case scenario family.
Mostly the gossip picks on the negative part of whom is been gossiped about, unfortunately we take part in it and make wayward comments.
However, if you think about it all it makes you do is just hate whom you don't know for no reason.
Today I take a stance that we live a different life , one that is positive, one that sees the good in people rather than the bad. A life of great variety embrace.
Let the positive shine, destroy the negative with a bright smile.
Good thoughts can only create good things, while the bad can only create hatred and chaos

Since it opened in 2005, the Covelli Centre — the city-owned sports and entertainment arena originally called the Youngstown Convocation Center — has had a hockey team as its main tenant.
Attendance has never been strong for most of the team's eight seasons there, and today it's at its low point. Since the facility loses money on each game, the future of the sport at the downtown center is on thin ice.
"It's a football town, it's a basketball town, and it's a baseball town," Bruce Zoldan said of the Mahoning Valley. "Hopefully, it will be a hockey town."
However, even Zoldan's top executive has his doubts. When Zoldan's B.J. Alan Co. announced the pending closing of the Ice Zone, an indoor ice rink in Boardman, William A. Weimer, the company's vice president and general counsel, said, "Unfortunately, as much as we've tried to push ice sports, there's a disconnect here — it's a hard-core football and baseball area."
Zoldan owns the Youngstown Phantoms, a member of the United States Hockey League, which has called the Covelli Centre home since 2009.
But the contract with the city requires the team, which plays in what is considered the top junior hockey league in the country, to average at least 2,000 fans a game annually for four years — a number it's never reached — or the city can terminate the contract unless the Phantoms pay $75,000 for a fifth season.
Zoldan wants the $75,000 fee waived, saying he's lost more than $1 million running the team, and is committed to improving attendance.
"Unlike others who have tried [to have sports teams play at the center] and left because they sustained losses,
we've sustained losses and are moving ahead," he said.
Previously, both the AF2 Youngstown Thunder football team and the Central Hockey League Youngstown SteelHounds called the city's center home. Both are now defunct.
"We're asking [the city] to reinvest in our team by
waiving the $75,000. If they don't, it shows the city doesn't want us back," Zoldan said. "It's adding insult to injury or pouring something on the wound."
City and Covelli Centre officials say they'll wait until the season ends next month before discussing a possible contract renewal.
If a deal isn't worked out with Zoldan, the city may look at a return to a mid-level professional hockey team next season.
During the first three years at the center, the
minor league pro SteelHounds drew considerably larger crowds than the junior hockey league Phantoms.
"We had considerably more people attend the SteelHounds games, but the economics of a pro team makes it difficult to be successful," said Eric Ryan, the center's executive director.
"Just because you have more people attending doesn't necessarily mean the team is more profitable. From a venue standpoint, more patrons through the doors always means more ancillary revenue and building profit."
Ryan said the facility loses about $200 for each Phantoms
game when the wear and tear on mechanical equipment, utilities and the cost of changing from a hockey game to another event such as a concert are considered.
"Obviously, hockey doesn't have the rich tradition other sports do in our community, but minor-league sports are as much about the entertainment value as they are about the sport," Ryan said. "I think we offer quality entertainment at a fair price."
Seats for Phantoms games are as inexpensive as $6 each. But those are located in five sections of the center — behind one of the goalies and near where the Zamboni machine access is to the ice — that just last season were curtained off. Meanwhile tickets for certain seats behind the penalty box, for
example, jumped from $13.50 each to $25.
The lackluster attendance — though business has picked up in the last three games as the Phantoms' winning season continues — isn't because of the ticket prices, Zoldan said.
"Our prices are fair," he said. "A family can buy tickets for $6 each."
A large majority of those who lease luxury suites at the center don't use them for Phantoms games, and hockey doesn't play much of a factor when it comes to sponsorship, Ryan said. Steve Costa of PA Sports & Entertainment, the firm that conducted the city's recent study, said suite holders aren't interested in hockey and have trouble giving away tickets.
The Phantoms haven't hit a 2,000 attendance average during any of its three full seasons, and with a few games left this season, it's averaging 1,354 fans a game, according to USHL
Covelli Centre officials say the Phantoms average attendance
this season has been about 1,050, based strictly on the number of people who show up for the games.
Also, the team's average attendance for its first three seasons is 1,760 per home game, according to USHL statistics. But center officials say the average number of people who actually showed up to watch the Phantoms games was 1,226 during the first three seasons.
It's not just the Phantoms. There's also a difference in attendance figures for the SteelHounds during the team's three years at the center.
The CHL reported an average of 3,670 fans at each SteelHounds home game while center officials, counting people who actually attended the team's games, said the average was 2,520.
The Phantoms attendance this season is the second lowest in the USHL, officially and unofficially. Only Team USA — based in Ann Arbor, Mich., with a focus on being a national development program for hockey in this country rather than marketing itself as a local team seeking a fan base — is worse with only an average of 284 fans at its home games.
A 2,000-per-game average isn't that hard for the rest of the teams in the league, since the Phantoms joined in 2009. Team USA and the Chicago Steel are the only other teams not to exceed that attendance number.
"We wish the attendance was better like the Phantoms wish the attendance was better," Ryan said. "A main tenant is an important piece of the puzzle for arenas. We feel from an arena's standpoint that we are doing everything we can to maximize
this brand of hockey."
The center has offered special food and drink discounts at 16 of the Phantoms home games such as $2.25 for a hot dog [a $1 discount], and smaller-size beer and sodas for $3 and $2, respectively.
"As far as attendance and profit is concerned, it hasn't been a success, but it's a hard sell," said Mayor Charles Sammarone. "This area's been a big supporter of high school sports. You have to overcome that, and it's tough to overcome."
Today, the Phantoms are in Green Bay to play the Gamblers, one of the USHL's most successful franchises. The Gamblers have been among the top five teams in the league in attendance for the past several years.
Its average attendance last season of 3,692 was fourth best among the league's 16 teams. Its average attendance this season of 3,216 per game is fifth-best in the league.
The city's $50,000 study politely recommended that the city "evaluate the relationship with the Youngstown Phantoms and consider options for more profitable events" at the facility. That prompted Ken Wachter, whose company owned the Gamblers and manages Green Bay's Resch Center, where the hockey team plays its home games, to write an email to Phantoms management who provided it to The Vindicator.
Wachter wrote that he took issue with the report stating that without the Phantoms at the center, it would open up 30 event dates, and gave a "conservative estimate of [an] additional $75,000 to $100,000 net profit could be obtained with alternative event bookings."
"If that is the case, they are wrong," Wachter wrote. "It looks to me like they do a good job booking the venue, but they have a ton of open dates."
In an interview with the newspaper, he said: "If the hockey team goes away, you're not going to go from six concerts to 18. You might go from six to eight, but you can work around hockey for most events."
Ryan said the Phantoms have been accommodating to changing the team's schedule for concerts, such as the recent Rascal Flatts show. The center loses one to two events a year, Ryan said, when the Phantoms can't change their schedule.
Steve Costa, owner of PA Sports & Entertainment, which conducted the study, said if three or so concerts could be booked in place of Phantoms games, the center
would make $75,000 to $100,000
annually. If nothing else, the study should be a starting point to look at what are the best events for the center.
So why is amateur hockey a success in Green Bay, best known in sports for its Packers NFL team, and not in Youngstown?
"We have a much deeper hockey tradition" in Green Bay, Wachter admitted.
Also, the Resch Center is the home to other sports teams, including the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men's basketball team, the Blizzard Indoor Football League team, and the Chili, a women's football team in which the players wear
bikinis that averaged about 3,500 fans a game last season,
Wachter said.
"My whole gist is there is [more] value in having a hockey team with 30 dates at the facility than nothing," he said. "It's an asset to the community. I don't think the city is losing anything by having hockey. But if it goes away, the center is dark 30 days a year. It's not strictly a dollars-and-cents issue. It's a process to sell, and it takes time for people to buy into the team. We sell our shows as a family event with discounted food items, skating with the team, and holding promotions with groups like the Boy Scouts."
The Phantoms games have discounted foods and some ticket deals to various organizations for special nights.
The start of the USHL season
in September is slow, Zoldan said, as it competes with football.
The USHL plans to cut four season games next season, start with a few games in October and November, and then have a majority of the games played in December through mid-April, Zoldan said.
Another problem is the other USHL teams aren't nearby, he said. The USHL is close to putting a team in Pittsburgh and also working to get one somewhere in Ohio, he said.
That should help sell tickets if the Phantoms return to the Covelli Centre next season, Zoldan said, because it could create regional
The Phantoms have fewer than 500 season-ticket holders now, he said.
He said he is working on a plan to increase the number of season- ticket holders to 1,500. "We're going to kick off a strong season-ticket campaign" in a few days, Zoldan said.
"I'm hoping there's a next season and the city sees the benefit of having the team and the fans support this and make it work. We're planning on a next season. We're not thinking otherwise. We're aggressively selling tickets."
Meanwhile, the city is seeking companies interesting in leasing the center for $700,000 annually plus $75,000 a year for capital
improvement work.
Zoldan has put together a team of investors that was interested in leasing the center.
But the $700,000 price tag is far too much for the center, which made about $300,000 to $325,000 in 2012 in operating surplus. The final
figure for 2012 will be available next week.
"It's cost-prohibitive," he said. "But that's what negotiations are for."
Noone is going to pay to watch high schoolers play.
At least the Steelhounds were a professional team and not amateurs.
And good luck finding support in a team when it's ripped out every two years.
Hockey also can't gain traction in the area because the high schools don't have teams and the sport is an expensive one for people with kids.
Maybe the YMCA could take over the Ice Zone?
Perhaps it could be gifted to the YMCA.
Good tax deduction.
Bring back real minor league hockey. The SteelHounds were great, but they did not get enough publicity. The whole town, including the media, needs to be promoting this. There really wasn't any PR for the STEELHOUNDS. IF YOU
Problem is the Phantoms do a horrible job of marketing. No one knows about the chances these kids have going to the pros. The Phantoms have had 3 former players drafted to the pro's.
1) Forward Brandon Saad, currently playing for the league leading Chicago Blackhawks, 2) Defenseman Scott Mayfield who was drafted by the New York Islanders 3) Goalie Matthew Mahalak drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Now I did enjoy the Steelhounds hockey when they were here, but none of them had any chances of making it to the big show, as they were all past their prime, but the big draw was the fights, not the actual playing of the game.
Some of you that keep putting down the Phantoms, I'm willing to bet you have never seen one of their games in person. They have 6 games left at home this season, spend $11 ($5 for parking and $6 for a ticket) and see a game.
as usual, Youngstown is 50 years behind the times.....Hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. and especially in the Rust Belt...These (kids or high schoolers) as one person put it actually have a chance at making the "league" unlike 99.99999 percent of the other high-schoolers players the other sports here in the valley....These athletes were drafted and choosen to play elite league junior hockey....The steelhounds while they were fun to watch, had a 0% percent chance of ever stepping foot on an nhl ice surface....Funny how those towns that is 65 miles to the south of us and 90 miles to the north of us are booming with hockey...Ignorant comments from people in this town always amaze me...Please go see a Phantoms game, u just might be impressed...
My suggestion is to have Mill Creek Park take over the Ice Zone and have all Mahoning county tax payers keep it up and running. You can then have each area high school that wants to field a team do so and the expenses are paid. So tired of the "Valley" being 30 years behind the times. Everybody says they want a better future for their children, it's not free people, you get what you pay for.
This area sucks. There aint never nuttin to do.
You cant compete with the bars and keno or even the casinos within 2-3 hours of here.
but seriously,
Here is the simple fact. People in this area are not going to spend money on an inferior product. I know that comes across as anti-Phantoms, but we do not have a hockey fan culture that will support "anything on ice". The indoor football did not go over well here, the Mickey Monus basketbal league did not either.
They would be better served to have tournaments down there every weekend for volleyball, basketball (girls and boys), gymnastics, and even bowling. What about a combined local band concert from 4 or 5 different schools all playing together. Every kids family would go see that! The country and rock concerts appear to be doing very well, they could do the ice shows, boxing, etc.. YSU boys and girls nbeed to move their games there also. I'm just not ever going to the Beeghly Center-period.
I remember going to the Cleveland Coliseum to see the LA Kings play the Edmonton Oilers in the early 90's for an exhibition game. Maybe the Pittsburgh Penguins could play Team USA here and maybe the Cavs could play Team USA in an exhibition game.
I went to a Phantoms game recently with my Grandson and his Cub Scout pack. Later that evening I ran into a friend of mine who happens to be a popular DJ on one of the local radio stations. I mentioned to him that we were at a Phantoms game earlier in the evening. He said that he used to go to the Phantoms games, but quit going because of the "Attitude" that the Covelli Centers security guards seemed to have. I said to him that I could see why. When we were leaving the center after the game, we were headed towards the Main front doors, when the security guards started screaming at myself and my 6 year old grandson like we were terrorists with assault rifles. You Can't go that way! You have to use the back door! The security guards were "Herding" everyone out the back doors into the parking lot. We happened to be parked on Boardman Street, but had to walk clear around the Covelli Center, outside in the cold because it seemed that going out the main doors would have been an inconvenience to the Security guards. I had to agree with My DJ friend that the $8.00 per hour rent-a-cop security guards do seem to have an attitude problem, and really need some training in people skills and polite etiquette. They would be more effective by acting as professionals, rather than trying to intimidate the patrons.
Let this hockey team fold, and watch the Canton Charge move to the Centre. They wanted to come here the first time, but Mr. Zoldan would not give up any weekend dates. They'll train at the Niles Wellness Center, and will expand that facility for its players, and the community. Trust me, this was the original plan. They'd jump ship from Canton in a heartbeat for a newer, modern arena, and the Cavaliers would love to draw from the entire region.
Next, get a true minor league team in here, perhaps in the ECHL? And market the heck out of it. Players in that league are young, and can make it in the NHL. You have teams as close as Wheeling, Cincy, and Toledo.
It's a beautiful facility, and it's an area where things can work. But you have to invest in a marketing and public relations staff firmly committed to making things happen. That means spending some money to make money.
First - I give Mr. Zoldan credit. He's put his money into making the Phantoms work, and well it hasnt. The quality of the hockey is pretty good. And I'm not there to see fighting. Here are a couple of ideas:
1) I think Mr. Zoldan or somebody should seriously consider linking up to the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise. Tix in Pittsburgh are pricey and they sell out. Yet most of the Valley pulls for the Penguins. So why not have a relationship with them? The Wheeling Nailers do, and they play 10 home games a year in Johnstown, PA in a very old arena. Logistically its tough to do, but why not play those 10 games in Youngstown, and rebrand the team the Wheeling-Youngstown SteelPens? I'd rather have 10 quality games with 4000 attendees than 30 games that cannot hit 1000.
2) The other option is to help fund a YSU team. Its too bad the CCHA is being disbanded - can you imagine YSU playing Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Bowling Green, Mich St, Miami, in Youngstown? They would draw 4000. Anyways, college hockey is not cheap, but at least students and alumni would be compelled to go.
I hope hockey stays in some form. Maybe the Phantoms get rebranded the SteelPens, and Mario drops the first puck on Opening Day.
So let me get this straight....
The Covelli Centre which currently has only SIX non-hockey related events booked for the rest of this year, feels they could make more money without hockey?
If they are loosing $200 a game, why not charge Zoldan that cost? Isn't drawing people to the arena ""free" advertising for upcoming events? Not to mention for the downtown?
At no point when this facility was built was there ever a plan for how this community could support it. And now they want to kick out something that at least draws people there frequently? Only in Youngstown...

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Braves wanted to make Fredi's debut a success, and Freddie certainly did his part.
Rookie Freddie Freeman doubled in each of his three plate appearances Saturday against the New York Mets, but Atlanta blew a 5-3 lead in the 10th inning of a 5-5 tie against the New York Mets in Fredi Gonzalez's Braves managerial debut.
It was also a debut of sorts for Freeman, 21, in his first start as the Braves' regular first baseman. The 21-year-old hit a double to every field — driving a ball to right field in the second inning, hitting a soft shot to left in the fourth, and lining a hit that one-hopped off the base of the center-field wall in the sixth.
"Freddie had a great day," Gonzalez said. "Three doubles. Nice three at-bats."
Freeman's second and third doubles were two-out hits.
"It felt good out there today," said Freeman, who also scored the Braves' first run on a wild pitch by Mets starter Jenrry Mejia in the second inning. "Really I was just trying to see some pitches and track some balls. I got a couple of good swings today."
On doubling to all three fields, he said, "I was just trying to hit it where it was pitched. Especially that last one, having a two-seamer running away and able to go with it, it felt real good.
"The first one was on a cutter in, and the second one was a hanging curveball that I kind of just flared it over to left field."
Freeman's fourth-inning hit followed a two-out, first-pitch homer by Eric Hinske, who drove a Pedro Beato fastball onto a grass berm beyond right field for a 2-0 lead.
"Freeman's really swinging the bat," said Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens, who allowed two hits and no walks in two scoreless innings. " That's good. I think we're going to really need his bat, especially in that lower part of the lineup."
Freeman hit sixth Saturday in a lineup that didn't include Dan Uggla, Martin Prado, Chipper Jones or Alex Gonzalez. The rookie will bat seventh or eighth in the regular lineup to start the season.
"If they're going to be pitching around some people to get to him," Jurrjens said, "he's going to be really coming up in a big spot for us. It's good to see."

February 26th, 2011
9:46 pm
Fire Fredi, and fire Freddie too. Gonzalez has to be the worst manager since Bobby Cox. Jurrjens was cruising along until Fredi decided to pull him, and clearly he left Kimbrel in too long. This guy thinks he's a major league manager, but he can't even convince Chipper and McCann to come in from their fishing hole for a critical game against our division rival. No leadership at all with guy. Next thing you know he'll be letting the pitchers play golf. It never ends with this guy.
Freddie Freeman proved he is a bust as a major league player. We needed 3 home runs today and all Freeman bothered to do was hit 3 doubles. That isn't going to cut it at the major league level. If Freeman is too selfish to think of the team and hit home runs when we need them, we don't need him around taking up space on the roster that could be filled by some hot new prospect from the Rookie League.
The Braves will never win with these guys. It's time to cut our losses before it's too late.
February 26th, 2011
9:54 pm
I like the young kids…they seem hungry to play and Fredi the mgr will be his own man and I like that. Matt Young I hope makes the team as he has worked his tail off for the last three years to get a chance.
Willie Harris will never let the Braves forget trading him…Braves killer!
Now lets see Ugga and Chipper tomorrow! Go Braves.
February 26th, 2011
9:59 pm
I think it's a bit drastic to use the phrase "blew a" lead in the first Spring Training game. Everyone is still getting limber. I am very excited about Freddie; he is something special, both defensively and at the plate. I love that he isn't going to have to put up with the fervor that Heyward had to deal with in his rookie campaign.
@P. Bull Terrier – Dude quit trolling, it is waaaaaay to early in the year for this.

Lucas put us up 3 – 2 in the ninth, sounds like I missed Kimbrel half-as*ing it in today. Did he give up the HR to Harris? Ugg – yeah its spring training but lets not be stupid and start mailing in the opportunities to get a W, even if it doesn't count. You play like you practice. if Kimbrel was throwing BB's and just had a bad day that's one thing, but leaving pitches up for HR's sounds a lot like lack of focus….

P. Bull……
youre kidding right? its SPRING TRAINING. thats when you let people get game work in, rather than jsut throwin in a bull pen. surely you cant be that ignorant. do you even know what spring training is about? If you look at any other team around the league, especially THIS EARLY in spring training, NONE of the starters go more than 2-3 innings. Spring training has literally nothing to do with who wins the division, its a way to ease back into the game and get a feel for game situations instead of just throwing bp, and fielding weak grounders.
congrats on what has so far been the dumbest post of spring training to date
February 26th, 2011

Why are people losing their minds over one spring training game yeah Kimbrel gave up a homer and walked some guys its THE FIRST GAME OF SPRING TRAINING not the NL Championship game 7 to go to the Series.

P-BULL have you been inbreeding with your dogs again. This is the first spring game and means nothing in the standings. Also too early to leave the pitchers in as they are trying to get him some innings and other pitchers as well. Pay attention when someone is speaking to you.
February 27th, 2011
11:50 am
Relax guys. It's spring training. You know, time to work on new pitches and stuff like that. I think some people are just jealous that I beat them to the complaining.
I'm glad a few people were able to see through my post, but it is a little sad that so many didn't. I don't know if that is more of a reflection on them for not being able to understand sarcasm, on me for not being more clear in my writing, or on the blog for the number of idiots making similar posts with completely serious intent.
"The Dude Abides" may be aware that the name "P. Bull Terrier" originated during the Mike Vick scandal when I was inspired to post about Vick being a dirt bag, then it just kind of stuck with me. If that's the case, nice job of turning my sarcasm around and using it against me, Dude.
One last thing, did anyone else notice how little Hayward accomplished yesterday? I think all that publicity he got last year has gone to his head and now he is just as cocky and lazy as Brian McCann. The whole club house is falling apart. Bring back Chuck Tanner.

The Braves hope this is just about injuries. They hope it's just about a ground ball freakishly caroming off Chipper Jones' calf and the fact none of their starting pitchers suddenly can make it through three innings without getting hit on the head with a mallet.
But when a team seemingly crumbles whenever adversity hits, there's something wrong.
The Braves have gone from the third-best record in baseball (26-16) to losing eight consecutive games, the past five by a combined score of 36-15. Stay calm, say the eternal optimists. It's a mere hiccup. Maybe. But if this spiral is being magnified, it's justified.
The slide comes with the backdrop of last season's unraveling. General manager Frank Wren brought back the same team that went 10-20 in the final stretch in 2011 because he viewed the drain-circling as an aberration. But here we are again, watching players do dumb things in the field,

MUSKOKA — Muskoka's summer tabloid hits newsstands today, but you can also...
GRAVENHURST - To streamline their processes and keep in line with increasingly stringent health and safety regulations, the municipality will now require all contractors and tender hopefuls to prequalify.
A process used in most Ontario municipalities and the District of Muskoka for several years now, Gravenhurst will be implementing the prequalification process as of Jan. 1, 2013 with about a month of advertising the new rules and educating potential contractors before entering into prequalification meetings come February.
Town director of infrastructure and community services Geoff Carleton brought the prequalification measures and recommendations to council Dec. 18, explaining the new rules will protect the town's interests while creating a level playing field for bidders.
"It sets a platform for all the contractors in regards to health and safety; the town has a responsibility for all contractors that work for us and this process formalizes the intake of that information," Carleton explained. "It does not replace tendering; it enhances the process and creates efficiencies while mitigating the risks."
Staff have developed a document that potential service providers will be required to fill out that details general company information, health, safety and environmental policies the company may have, current staff training levels and future requirements, job hazard analysis for any potential tender or project the provider may take on and details of any hazardous materials that may required for any given project.
Potential contractors will be graded based on the information provided at the start of each year now and the most suitable candidates on the town's lists will be invited to tender for specific projects. Tender intakes and prequalification would for the most part all take place at the start of the calendar year, rather than spread out through the year, while special projects or emergency situations may require the more traditional route of tendering. Carleton said any company that has started tendering for 2013 town projects have already gone through the prequalification process and both the local and chamber have been part of the discussions to help inform other potential bidders of the new rules.
"This is not new (processes); it's new here (Gravenhurst), but it is not new to the industry," Carleton added. "It's not to restrict resources or restrict people from working in the township, but to just make sure they are meeting a certain requirement (with health, safety and training standards)."
Contractors on the prequalified list will be required to update their information annually to help identify if there have been any additional staff training sessions or if any certifications have lapsed that may need to be updated before being able to qualify for municipal work again.
For the month of January, the town will take on an educational program to inform potential bidders of the rules and come February, Carleton said the formal prequalification process will begin for later 2013 projects.

The campaign of KY Sec. of State Trey Grayson, led by Nate Hodson, is casting Grayson as a candidate of substance, challenging other campaigns to unequivocally declare how each would vote if in the Senate today.
Here's the update on the campaign website:
Just a quick update on the campaign. Trey continues to travel across Kentucky and is working hard every day to get our campaign's message out to Kentucky voters by speaking out on the issues.
This is setting him apart from the other leading candidates. Democrats Jack Conway and Dan Mongiardo seem to be in hiding with the deteriorating popularity of Harry Reid's health care bill, which they refuse to take a position on.
Senators don't get to take a pass on votes, and Trey Grayson has not been afraid to tell voters where he stands.
Trey is speaking out against the recent announcement by President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it will regulate carbon emissions. While the benefits of taxing carbon emissions or implementing onerous and costly new regulations are dubious, the costs are real and will be devastating to Kentucky.
Additionally, Trey is vocally opposing provisions in Harry Reid's health care bill that will provide for taxpayer funding of abortion. Again, the other candidates have been silent.
This is just more evidence of why Trey Grayson will win this campaign with your support.
In other news this week, we hired Jeremy Hughes to join the campaign as Political Director. Previously Jeremy served as Congressman Geoff Davis' campaign manager, and he has extensive experience working in the state party's Northern Kentucky Victory office where he has organized very successful grassroots organizations. Read what Congressman Geoff Davis had to say about Jeremy here.
Each day more and more volunteers are joining our fight to send a common sense conservative to Washington. Please sign up to help us make phone calls, campaign door-to-door and help in our office.

I am a 33 year old woman who likes to stand up and talk for the less privaledged women and ecourage them to stand up for their rights.

The Eternal Darkness of Sirius Black's Mind by eternalangel

Summary: Sirius has spent ten years of his life locked up for crimes he had not committed. Hopelessness and despair seemed to be the only way out for Black, who has to face his worst memories everyday. Azkaban would have destroyed Sirius if it hadn't been for James. See what comes of a person who survives Azkaban, and finds a measure of peace along the way.
Cruel Moon for the Misbegotten by L A Moody
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 82]
Summary: Remus Lupin is a man whose bête noir assumes very real proportions on the night of each full moon. It is a reality that he had accepted for most of his life; forced to reconcile to the limitations of his existence at an early age. Then out of the blue, Nymphadora Tonks waltzes into his life, throwing all his stoic principles into turmoil. But wizarding society's prejudices against werewolves are so deeply ingrained that even specialized Healers have no choice but to admit that some of the most basic answers are just unavailable. As Remus undertakes a dangerous undercover mission that may help him to find answers among his own brothers, Tonks follows a convoluted trail that will uncover the true nature of hatred buried within the Ministry of Magic itself.
Follow this tale of despair and redemption as it weaves through the bustling boulevards of Rome to the carefree Bohemian sections of London to the austere bones of post-industrialized Britain to the majestic spires of Hogwarts castle. It is a story not presented as a romance, but rather as one man's journey to hell and back as inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy.
Serves as a prequel to my other story, Harry Potter and the Hero's Lament, but either story can be read independently of the other.

Illegal dumpsite near Norris Arm

It's also very close to the Central Waste Management Facility where most of the junk could have been taken for free. Josh Saunders actually works there as a heavy equipment operator.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
February 18, 2003
Albany-- Think you are paying too much for gas? Try a quarter of a million dollars. That's what it costs the Dougherty County School System each year to keep their buses running.
And that price tag is only getting larger.
"It takes 1,200 gallons of diesel fuel to keep Dougherty County's fleet up and running. That's 1,200 gallons a day," says Transportation Director Willie Griffin.
"Some of them fill up once a week, sometimes twice a week, all buses have diesel, diesel gets better fuel mileage, thankful for that."
Griffin is very thankful he gets more bang for his buck, considering he has 153 buses to keep running. "There's a concern cause definitely run over budget if price keeps escalating like its going."
Right now, the School System is getting a good deal on fuel prices-- paying between $1.14 and $1.16 per gallon. They buy it from City of Albany-- who keeps costs low by bidding out for large quantities of fuel.
But those low prices will likely not last. "It's not a locked in bid. If fuel price goes up our cost goes up too." The buses will keep right on running, while the school system figures out how to handle run away fuel costs.
Dougherty County Schools are implementing a new plan-- called Versa-Tran-- that is suppose to make bus routes more efficient. No child will have to ride the bus in the mornings more than an hour. The plan should also help keep fuel consumption down.

Road's End Farm is a small summer camp that appeals to girls who love being around horses, caring for them, and riding for enjoyment rather than competition. Being an integral part of a 360 acre farm with 45 saddle horses, the camp program provides campers with unlimited exposure to horses and rural life in a picturesque setting at the end of a quiet dirt road.
Road's End Farm Horsemanship Camp offers two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine week sessions beginning June 1, 2014 and ending August 23, 2014.

ROME (AP) — Silvio Berlusconi says he's running to be premier again — for the good of Italy.
The media mogul confirmed to reporters Saturday that he'll try for a fourth term. Berlusconi quit in disgrace as premier last year after failing to save Italy from its sovereign debt crisis. He has since been convicted of tax fraud and now faces plunging poll numbers.

I was checking out various things on the site, and it seemed that the price of the hat would stay the same as the item I'd clicked previously. For example, if I click a t-shirt it says $24.99, click the hat it says $24.99. Click a hoodie, it says $59.99, click a hat it says $59.99. Perhaps the hat isn't actually $24.99, and there's an error, or maybe there's just something going on with the site or my browser.

|$XMM-Newton$ $\Omega$ project: III. Gas mass fraction shape in high redshift clusters

|We study the gas mass fraction, $f_{\rm gas},$ behavior in $XMM-Newton$ $\Omega$ project. The typical $f_{\rm gas}$ shape of high redshift galaxy clusters follows the global shape inferred at low redshift quite well. This result is consistent with the gravitational instability picture leading to self similar structures for both the dark and baryonic matter. However, the mean $f_{\rm gas} in distant clusters shows some differences to local ones, indicating a departure from strict scaling. This result is consistent with the observed evolution in the luminosity-temperature relation. We quantitatively investigate this departure from scaling laws. Within the local sample we used, a moderate but clear variation of the amplitude of the gas mass fraction with temperature is found, a trend that weakens in the outer regions. These variations do not explain departure from scaling laws of our distant clusters. An important implication of our results is that the gas fraction evolution, a test of the cosmological parameters, can lead to biased values when applied at radii smaller than the virial radius. From our $XMM$ clusters, the apparent gas fraction at the virial radius is consistent with a non-evolving universal value in a high matter density model and not with a concordance.
