Get ready for the Mike Babcock to Edmonton theory, which is patently nuts
by George Malik on 12/17/14 at 08:35 PM ET
Comments (16)
Now I get the Toronto rumors, but given that, as the Detroit News's Gregg Krupa suggested, a certain Mike Babcock very plainly "wants to win"--which is what everyone who's got a damn oar planted in the Mike Babcock To Where? Rumor Mill River has suggested--I'm going to be rude and simply suggest that the esteemed and estimable Edmonton Sun's Terry Jones is, for once in a blue moon, off his rocker:
[If] there's a way for owner Daryl Katz and new Oilers organization umbrella boss Bob Nicholson to win some public confidence and ensure that the Oilers don't face the prospect of not being sold out for their first season in their new downtown arena, hiring Mike Babcock would go a long way.
Think about it. There's the belief that the Detroit Red Wings coach, who former Hockey Canada head Nicholson gave the opportunity to become two-time Olympic gold medal winner, is going to go right through the season without agreeing to a new contract.
There's the further belief that Babcock not only wants to find out what his true value is as his current contract expires, but that he might also want to be the flag carrier to raise NHL coaching salaries, which don't compare well to those of the NFL, NBA or major league baseball.
Also Babcock has been in Detroit for 10 seasons, reportedly making $2 million a season. There's an expiry date on head coaches, even the great ones.
And with the embarrassment of having had the worst team in the NHL throughout his seven years as Oilers owner, and paying people like Ralph Krueger and Dallas Eakins a combined 4½ seasons not to coach, you have to believe Daryl Katz would consider telling Babcock to fill in his own amount and term into the blank spaces on an Oilers coaching contract.
Jones continues, discussing Nicholson's long association with Babcock, Babcock's Canadian collegiate ties to Alberta, the Oilers possibly landing Connor McDavid, etc. etc., but as much as I feel for both the long-suffering fans of the Edmonton Oilers and their long-suffering, passionte media...This is just dumb.
Quoting Krupa, quoting Babcock:
"Listen, besides my family, the thing maybe I like most is winning. So, that's the process, here. That's what we're trying to do, here. And if you think I'm working harder, here, because I'm in my last year of my contract, it makes no difference. I grind. That's what I do. I'm a professional grinder. I love winning. So, you know, we'll see what happens — we've got a game, tomorrow."
The one thing the Oilers don't have is a history of any sort of organizational competency in terms of the front office actually positioning the team in line to win pee-wee games. They make Toronto's corporate conglomerate look warm and fuzzy by comparison, and Ken Holland look like Stephen Hawking.
"Real talk." No *#$%@& way.

Ken Holland On Anthony Mantha And The Shootout Problems
by Paul on 12/17/14 at 06:23 PM ET
Comments (12)
from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
"Because of some of the numbers he put up in junior hockey (81 goals in 81 games last season), there were some unrealistic expectations," general manager Ken Holland said. "Then he got hurt and when he returned, guys were two months into the season. He's getting better all the time. You see flashes of all the things he can do.
"But it's a hard league. It's professional hockey. He's learning what it takes to be successful."...
Holland said the Red Wings' woes in the shootout this season could just be a normal cycle of things.
The Red Wings are 1-6 in shootouts and have lost three of them in the last week, the latest Tuesday's 1-0 setback to Columbus.
"Several years ago we were winning them more often than losing," Holland said. "It's about getting on a roll. You get on a roll, you don't think about it.
"You lose some of them, like we have, and suddenly people are talking about it, asking questions. We just have to work our way out of it, win some of them and get on a roll."

Report- Great But Unexpected News On Gordie Howe
by Paul on 12/17/14 at 03:51 PM ET

Scott Lewis of Sportsnet with the news,
NHL legend Gordie Howe is reportedly walking on his own and is scheduled to make his final public appearance on Feb. 6, 2015 in Saskatoon.
A representative of Sports for Saskatoon Media Croup, John Fraser, tweeted Wednesday that Howe's son Marty confirms that his father is "walking under his own power" and is "expected" to make an appearance at a Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Dinner on Feb. 6.
added 5:52pm, from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
"He's back in the ballgame," son Mark told M-Live on Wednesday. "Where it will lead to we don't know, but he's miles ahead of where he was weeks ago.
"In the last week he's been getting stronger, better. We're pretty encouraged by it."
If the former Detroit Red Wings great continues to progress, there's a chance he might travel to his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on Feb. 6 for the Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Dinner in his honor. Wayne Gretzky is scheduled as the keynote speaker.
"A week ago I would have said there's no way in the world (Gordie could be there)," Mark Howe said. "If he continues to improve, we'll have to wait and see."

The overnight report: on Babcock, Howard's mask, Abdelkader and tidbits
by George Malik on 12/17/14 at 04:57 AM ET
Comments (7)
So we're talking about Mike Babcock's contract this morning, and it's the Detroit News's Gregg Krupa doing the talking, suggesting that Babcock headed the Toronto media off at the pass last Thursday, by basically laying out the terms of continuing his employment in Detroit:
After saying he and Holland agreed "not to do this" during the season, he did it — he discussed his contract. But the very next thing he said was, "Our team's going good. Our team's playing good. I like the way they're playing. ...
"I'm happy here. I like the general manager. They treat me good. I don't know what else I can tell you."
Those were his words. His intention? To make clear that if the team keeps playing well and if they can get a couple of other key pieces while guys like Tomas Jurco and Anthony Mantha mature, why would he go anywhere?
He is satisfied and enjoying the gig, he said. The implication, heavy in the air, is that when he is not, he might be gone. Then he explained succinctly what satisfies him.

After Christmas, the Wings' prospects will be very busy at the World Junior Championships, at NCAA post-Christmas tournaments and the like, but the SHL's already begun its Christmas break, most NCAA Division I teams have finally let their hockey players go home for the semester break, and...Okay, in post-Soviet KHL, team has no break, even for Russian Christmas.

Red Wings-Blue Jackets wrap-up: may this serve as the lowest point of the Wings' offensive lull
by George Malik on 12/17/14 at 03:24 AM ET
Comments (1)
If there is any good news regarding the Red Wings' 1-0 shootout loss to Columbus, it is this:
The Wings' 1 point earned allows them to remain 1 point ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Atlantic (with Toronto having won its 7th straight, a 6-2 win over Anaheim) and remain tied with Montreal (lost 4-1 to Carolina) and stay only a point behind Tampa Bay (beat Philly 4-1), even though the Wings' win-loss-and-ROW-record is comparatively shitty.
The Wings have lost 4 straight games, going 0-1-and-3 of late, but the team's treading water, even if it's slowly being dragged away from shore by the tide.
The Wings are also 1-and-6 in shootouts, Ken Daniels said that Henrik Zetterberg's gone 20 games without a goal, and he's not the only Wings player trying to pass the puck into the opposition net, but Niklas Kronwall had 5 shots, Pavel Datsyuk and Darren Helm had 4 shots, and...

Quick take, Red Wings vs. Blue Jackets: shootout losses suck, but so does the Wings' play of late
by George Malik on 12/16/14 at 11:28 PM ET
Comments (20)
The Detroit Red Wings dropped a 1-0 shootout decision to the Columbus Blue Jackets, but if ever there was a game that I'd describe as "not the goalie's fault--when a goalie surrendered 2 shootout goals on 3 shots against--it's tonight.
The Red Wings did their damnedest to make a difficult game even harder while fighting an inabilty to score at any period of time, and on a night when Sergei Bobrovsky was superb, the Blue Jackets were their trappy best and the refereeing was dreadful in terms of the amount of hooking, holding, clutching, grabbing, mashing and smashing on any and all sides of the puck, the WIngs tried to out-pass, out-drop-pass, out-deke-at-the-line and out-outside-shot a Blue Jackets team that did its best to defend a Howard who was marginally better-protected than the under-siege Petr Mrazek who faced 40 shots on Saturday.
This was an ugly game from a team that's on a four-game winless streak (0-1-and-3), and while the shootout was the bugaboo that decided the game's result, the effort from minutes 1-65 is what doomed the Wings to their fate.

Red Wings-Blue Jackets game day post II: game preview videos, boogers & Howard's resurgence

Of late-afternoon Red Wings-related note ahead of tonight's game between the Red Wings and Blue Jackets (7:30 PM on FSD/FS Ohio/97.1 FM), and pursuant to the morning skate news cycle:
Here's the Red Wings' Game-Day preview, which features Petr Mrazek, Jimmy Howard and Jonathan Ericsson, as well as a certain Mike Babcock's take on tonight's opponent:
The Red Wings will welcome Justin Abdelkader and Danny DeKeyser back into their lineup this evening, and Tomas Tatar's going to play after battling some sort of illness this past weekend, Johan Franzen's out with a non-mump illness.
Fox Sports Detroit's Art Regner noted the state of the latter players, as well as the fact that Xavier Ouellet's playing ahead of Jakub Kindl and Brian Lashoff...

Brendan Smith On Justin Abdelkader, Danny DeKeyser And the Seven-Second Rule
by Paul on 12/16/14 at 04:41 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Bill Roose of DetroitRedWings.com,
"Abby is a different threat," defenseman Brendan Smith said. "He can be a strong guy, power forward, hit and get pucks and get them to Pavel. That's what you've seen in the past. He's actually meshed with the top scorers like Pavel and Z very well because of his role. You need guys to complement each other. Look at video games, who complements each other, you need to have a power forward with a goal-scorer, a playmaker with a goal-scorer. That's what Abby does with those goes."
Meanwhile, on the other end of the ice, DeKeyser's smooth passing touch gives Detroit a seamless transition on break outs of their own zone.
"DK moves the puck very well on the back end," Smith said. "Coach talks about that seven-second rule, where you want to get out of your own end in seven seconds. If you don't you end up playing the shift in your end. He's very good. That's maybe his best aspect. His first pass is one of the best. For him to do that, it's good to have him back."

MOORHEAD, Minn. - This hijacker couldn't beet the rap and ended up in a pickle.
Authorities say a man with a knife hijacked a sugar beet truck and threatened the driver. The truck then collided with another truck before the suspect was apprehended by other truckers.
"It's the first beet truck hijacking I've ever heard of," Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist said.
Mandy Fulsebakke, of Fargo, said she was driving a beet truck into a field at a beet piling station early Thursday when the hijacker approached.
"He showed me that he had a knife, ordered me back to my truck and told me to drive," Fulsebakke said.
The hijacker choked her and threatened to kill her, she said. "He had the knife held against my head and neck," she said. Fulsebakke said she was able to signal to another driver and jump out of the truck.
The other driver called for help. Authorities say other truck drivers held the suspect until he was taken into custody.

Japan's Palm Oil Imports Seen at Record After Soybeans Rally
A rally in soybeans is spurring Japan, Asia's second-largest buyer, to seek record imports of palm oil, which is displacing soybean oil in margarine to potato chips.
Imports of the tropical oil may expand to 600,000 metric tons from last year's 557,937 tons, said Yoshinori Komura, managing director of the Japan Oilseed Processors Association. Soybean crushing may decline more than 3 percent to 2 million tons from 2011, he said in an interview in Tokyo yesterday.
Food producers are facing difficulties in passing on higher raw-material costs to consumers as the world's third-biggest economy is mired in deflation. Soybean's 14 percent rally this year, coupled with a strong yen against the dollar, boosted demand for palm oil as soybean oil makers including Nisshin Oillio Group Ltd. and J-Oil Mills Inc. proposed raising wholesale prices in April, the first increase in a year.
"Palm oil consumption in Japan is expanding while demand for vegetable oils is declining," said Masayuki Kumagai, head of the oil and fat division at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. "Palm oil is increasingly used as a substitute for soy oil or rapeseed oil."
Malaysia Exports
Record purchases by Japan will boost palm oil exports from Malaysia, the second-biggest producer, which supplied 95 percent of imports last year. Reduced soybean imports will mean lost sales for the U.S., the largest shipper, which supplied 67 percent of Japan's purchases in 2011.
Soybean futures in Chicago reached $15.125 a bushel on May 2, the highest level since July 2008, as drought damaged crops in Brazil and Argentina, the second- and third-biggest exporters. Soybeans traded at $13.7275 a bushel at 1:06 p.m. in Tokyo.
China, the largest importer, increased purchases from the U.S. as supply from South America declined. Chinese imports are forecast to expand 8.9 percent to 61 million tons in the year starting October, representing more than 60 percent of global shipments, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Palm oil futures in Malaysia have lost 3.8 percent this year, while the Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 raw materials has decreased 3.1 percent. Palm oil fell 1.7 percent to 3,057 ringgit ($974) a ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
"Palm oil consumption in margarine production is rising as manufacturers are looking for cheaper raw-materials," said Tsutomu Ueda, executive director for Japan Margarine, Shortening and Lard Industries Association.
Margarine, Soy Oil
Palm oil consumption in Japan's margarine production increased 1.2 percent to 52,572 tons in 2010, while soy oil use dropped 12 percent to 10,643 tons, association data show.
Japan's production of soy oil declined 14 percent to 401,455 tons last year, while imports of palm and palm-kernel oils increased 3.5 percent to 649,604 tons, according to the agriculture ministry.
Japan's soy oil output also decreased on weaker demand for local soymeal, said Kazufumi Aramoto, secretary general for the Japan Oil & Fat Importers & Exporters Association.
Soybeans are crushed to produce oil and soybean meal, a source of protein for livestock. Demand for imported soymeal expanded as the yen's rally to a postwar record against the dollar reduced purchasing costs for Japanese feed mills.
Japanese imports of soymeal climbed to a record 2.20 million tons last year from 2.19 million in 2010, according to the agriculture ministry. India was the largest supplier with 1.3 million tons, followed by the U.S. with 376,556 tons.
"I can't see any factors that will revitalize soybean crushing in the near term," Aramoto said. "Japanese manufacturers may have tough times ahead as their plants are running well below capacity, threatening earnings."

At Ojai, New Music Was Once Its Strength
Ojai, Calif.
To celebrate the Ojai Music Festival's 65th anniversary last weekend, a new and slightly larger band shell was inaugurated. It marks the outdoor amphitheater's first major renovation since a permanent structure was erected in 1957. Yet the spirit of Ojai—that is, the festival's appealing mix of sophisticated fare and unpretentious presentation—remains largely unchanged.
Though there were some potentially disturbing signs of things to come—a high-tech demonstration booth for Lincoln automobiles and various naming opportunities for paving stones and seats struck fear in the hearts of some—the remodeled bowl offers much to be grateful for.
For starters, those decrepit communal wooden benches—shades of Torquemada's rack—have been banished in favor of individual plastic seats with much-improved sightlines. And cheers, too, for the new sound system. The Libbey Bowl is still no concert hall, but the music emerges crisply now—a marked improvement over the previous, tinny speakers. The laying of steeply raked concrete throughout the seating area has also likely helped the acoustics.
But there are always trade-offs. In this case, some beloved sycamores and oaks that grew among the old benches were lost. Concertgoers seated below their boughs once enjoyed a dappled canopy, and the place seems a bit naked without them.
Even more disconcerting was some of this year's programming. The festival has always been eclectic, but its reputation was built on new music. Thomas W. Morris began softening that modernist edge on becoming the festival's artistic director in 2004, and the shift seemed especially pronounced this time around.
The irony is that the music director—an annually rotating post—was the soprano Dawn Upshaw, a renowned champion of new scores. Ms. Upshaw did sing new music, and sing it with the tonal beauty and emotional directness for which she is celebrated. But the material she selected was not always well chosen. And even when the music was of sufficient quality, the manner in which it was presented sometimes compromised its impact.
Take last Friday's staging of George Crumb's "The Winds of Destiny" (2004). The work—volume four of the composer's "American Songbook" series—orchestrates Civil War tunes and spirituals in a haunting and unconventional manner. Here Ms. Upshaw was most ably supported by the distinguished pianist Gilbert Kalish and the superb San Diego-based percussion ensemble Red Fish Blue Fish. But as directed by Peter Sellars, what might have been a universal meditation on war's human cost instead focused solely on the present conflict in Afghanistan.
That choice inserted an unusually overt political point into the music making and introduced a limiting literalism, with Ms. Upshaw dressed in battle fatigues and cradling a pillow as if it were a baby. Still, there were striking moments. In the last song, "Shenandoah," Ms. Upshaw sat on a bed with a pole as if in a boat rowing across the River Styx.
The soprano was at her best when unencumbered by distracting stage business. The closing concert on Sunday evening found her singing one of her signature pieces: Béla Bartók's "Five Hungarian Folk Songs." She also gave the premiere of a work by the jazz composer Maria Schneider, who earlier in the day—along with her eponymous orchestra—occupied the Sunday morning berth.
Ms. Schneider's new work, "Winter Morning Walks," is largely terra incognita for her. She does not generally write for voice, nor for string orchestra, but it was necessary here because one of the work's co-commissioners was the Australian Chamber Orchestra, a string ensemble that occupied pride of place at the festival. To voice and strings, Ms. Schneider added three members of her own ensemble: a clarinetist, a pianist and a jazz bassist. The texts for the nine songs that form the cycle are short, immediately appealing poems by Ted Kooser. Unfortunately, Ms. Schneider's settings are woefully predictable and often sappy.
But there were also moments of real inspiration at the festival. The Australian Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Richard Tognetti, a violinist, began the final concert with a riveting and inspired blending of Anton Webern's Five Pieces for Strings, Op. 5, (1909) and four excerpts from Mr. Crumb's "Black Angels" (1970), in which segments of the latter were sandwiched between Webern's exquisite miniatures.
The Australians are a remarkably talented group, and they performed with rare, often stunning, virtuosity. But they are shown to best advantage in an indoor, unamplified environment. With electronic enhancement—as was the case here—the group can sound flashy, even vulgar. Saturday night's concert, for instance, started on an elevated plane, with Giacinto Scelsi's "Anâgâmin" seguing seamlessly into Yuri Bashmet's arrangement of Alfred Schnittke's Trio Sonata. But Mr. Tognetti's own "Deviance," based on Paganini's Caprice No. 24, proved an ego trip, despite its unquestionably brilliant execution.
Somewhat overshadowed by the new bowl and the long-yearned-for creation of real backstage facilities was the festival's first foray outside the bubble that has long protected it. This week Ms. Upshaw and company traveled north, to the University of California, Berkeley, initiating a new—and one hopes fruitful—relationship between Ojai and the wider world.
Mr. Mermelstein writes for the Journal on classical music and film.

Effective. Don't be put off by the cost - large bottle will last a while
Posted by Health-Is-Wealth on Oct 30, 2013
Don't be put off by the cost, this bottle will last a while - I'm still using the small bottle I ordered first. I found it really effective which is why I got the larger bottle, thinking I'd need it sooner. This is so effective I find I have to dilute it quite a lot or I get hyper symptoms. Recommend starting on low doses until you find your threshhold. The expiry date is eleven years away so no risk of it losing potency - though even if it did, this would still be great value. If this review was helpful to you, please click YES below - thank you. For reviews of all the products I have purchased from iHerb, please click my username above.
Worked very well for a UTI
Posted by Reviewer1622454 on Nov 20, 2008
I had a small bottle of Iosol and found out that it worked very well when I suddenly came down with a UTI. I took 8 drops in a glass of water and within a few minutes the spasms stopped. I took it for the next couple of days until the infection was completely gone. I then ordered the larger bottle as I would like to always have a supply of this on hand.
Liquid iodine is the way to go
Posted by Reviewer1862442 on Oct 03, 2009
I have been taking iodine pills for several years. My vet had me giving liquid iodine drops to my dog and I thought, "I'll bet it would be a lot more effective for the iodine I take to be in liquid form, too, so I found this product at iHerb to replace my pill supplement. I'm feeling better than ever.
Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer2388105 on Feb 02, 2010
Great product! I am taking 2 drops per day along with 1 drop of Lugol's and other liquid vitamins. My hair loss is already decreasing, this is after losing a large amount of hair for over 6 years now. So much more energy and clear-headed thinking, I'm glad I found this product. I actually have the energy to start exercising again!!!
increased energy n good sleep at night
Posted by Reviewer3063157 on Jun 18, 2010
i have used 7 drops everyday (about 12.5mg... daily need for thyroid, breast and uterus) for about a month but actually it started working already after i used it for a fortnight. i wake up easily with mental clarity and sleep well at night. before taking it, i used to struggle for hours before i can actually sleep and felt so tired in the morning, just didn't want to get out of the bed! so, i bought this second big bottle as a refill.
Greatest help
Posted by Reviewer2195524 on Aug 11, 2008
This product is priceless with so many benefits for the body, internal and external, sanitizing, purifying, and many others. This is a product to keep on the shelf always.
Excellent product.
Posted by Reviewer1016553 on Aug 02, 2011
I have been using IOSOL iodine to increase my daily iodine intake to boost my thyroid gland, and for overall health. Iodine also rids body tissue of highly toxic fluoride which accumulates over the years. Fluoride is 4x more toxic than lead, and most people don't even realize it.
Excellent Product for Hypothyroidism
Posted by Reviewer2300084 on Nov 27, 2010
I have used dozens of other iodine including Tri-quench-which worked terribly. I take an entire dropperful becuase I have severe hypothyroidism and have been able to get off my ARMOUR
Best form of iodine
Posted by Reviewer2105929 on Feb 23, 2010
Best type of iodine to take because it is combined with iodide for optimal absorption. Good for thyroid health.
Excellent way to get iodine
Posted by Reviewer1254401 on Oct 21, 2011
I have experienced numerous health benefits from taking Iosol. I have lost weight without dieting, have more energy, and generally feel better.

the owners are friendly and welcoming. If you love a rustic, unique feel then this place is for you. It really is a hidden gem for a stay in Cooperstown. We loved how the original, rustic attributes were kept to the Inn. The breakfast is amazing. Homemade touch and they make what you want. It's a great opportunity to meet people from all over who stay there, and meet some neat people. For Cooperstown, it is worth the price and only about a 10 minute drive away. We loved it!
3,6 en julio 06, 2016
This is a cute & cozy little place off of the beaten path. A nice place to stay away from all the busy tourist area.
4,8 en octubre 29, 2015
We enjoyed our stay at the Willow Tree Inn while visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, Kim and John were great hosts. The Inn is a piece of Americana in a beautiful country setting. The room was comfortable. The breakfasts were terrific and they cook to order, whatever you would like. One of the reasons we selected this Inn was because we could bring our dog. Our stay was very comfortable and a great value.
3,6 en septiembre 02, 2015
When we arrived at this gorgeous antique home, our room was ready and John was immediately helpful in getting us settled. John and Kim were very friendly with tips of things to do and easy directions to locate those things, including Dreams Park (where our grandson was playing baseball). Breakfasts were freshly made and delicious! A charming bed and breakfast!
3,6 en junio 10, 2015
The hosts were very helpful with suggestions for dining in the area. Breakfast was quite good although basic and the same over both days of our stay. Homemade biscuits, jam, eggs any way, slab bacon, sausage, coffee, OJ, etc. King bed in room 5 was very comfortable. AC worked well. Property has a lovely pond. Free with fi didn't always work. Loved the homemade cookies in the afternoon, and refrigerator case full of fee soft drinks.
4,6 en diciembre 04, 2014
The room was cozy and warm, the bed was comfy, and the beverages, soaps, and breakfast provided were all nice, and the people were very friendly. All in all a great place. Only problem we had was that my fiancee's allergies were acting up a bit because they allow pets, but that's on us for not noticing that.
2,8 en octubre 26, 2014
Breakfast was great. Room cramped and bathroom not as nice as anticipated. Overall, a nice stay.
3,6 en octubre 25, 2014
Location is in the country but 15-minute drive from the Hall of Fame/town. John is a gracious, friendly host who unobtrusively made himself available to answer questions about the area and with whom to have interesting discussion. He's owned the B&B for 2 years and is making improvements. The home has potential but needs more work. It's a Civil War-era house in need of some maintenance but is indeed livable and comfortable. The common living room, complete with fireplace, is need of furniture update and more work. The backroom common space (where the TV is located and near kitchen) was inviting and comfortable. The breakfast was first-class and made to order, complete with homemade biscuits and jam. We had the room above the dining room (I think #5) facing the road. Didn't seem noisy, even though we kept the window open, probably because the road is not heavily traveled. Room is large but somewhat austere. Shower was small but workable (hosts provides toiletries). Scenery is beautiful and serene. It is quite reasonably priced and a good value.

Beautiful house. Outstanding Breakfast. Very clean. Generous host.

We enjoyed our short stay very much. John was a wonderful host and the breakfast was outstanding! Our room was comfortable and cozy. We would consider staying there another night if we are in the Cooperstown area again!

The Serb, second in the world rankings behind Rafael Nadal, said on his website (www.novakdjokovic.com) that he hoped to be fit to play in the Madrid Masters which starts on May 4.
"Fortunately, the situation with the injury is better than it first seemed," Djokovic, who was beaten by Roger Federer in Monte Carlo, said on Tuesday.
"Doctors assured me that I will be ready for Madrid, then Rome and Roland Garros, just as it has been planned.
"However, I need to continue with the recovery process and full medical treatments. It means I will have to take a short break in order to recover as soon as possible."

HIV & AIDS Health Center
AIDS and Social Security Disability Insurance
In this article
Disability insurance provides you regular payments when you are not able to work due to illness or injury. If you have a disability and AIDS, you may be able to obtain one or more types of disability insurance. They include:
- Employer-paid disability. This is often free to you.
- Private disability. You pay for this yourself.
- Government-sponsored disability, such as Social Security. These programs are free to you.
Both employer-paid and private long-term disability plans are less available than in the past. If you are seeking coverage for either and have a disability and AIDS, consult an attorney.
Recommended Related to HIV/AIDS
HIV, AIDS, and Mycobacterium Avium Complex
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a group of bacteria that are related to tuberculosis. These germs are very common in food, water, and soil. Almost everyone has them in their bodies. If you have a strong immune system, they don't cause problems. But they can cause serious illness in people with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). With the right combination of medications, however, you can prevent or treat MAC. In some cases, you may need lifelong therapy.
Read the HIV, AIDS, and Mycobacterium Avium Complex article > >
This article discusses the government-sponsored program, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). It provides specific information for people who have a disability and AIDS.
Qualifying for Social Security Disability Insurance
Social Security is best known as a federal retirement program. It also provides disability benefits. How much you receive depends upon your salary and the number of years you've been covered under Social Security. Your benefits for a disability and AIDS may be reduced by any other payments you're entitled to under other programs.
You may qualify if:
- You've worked and paid Social Security taxes.
- You've worked at least five years of the 10 years before you became disabled. It may be fewer than five years if you are young.
- You are unable to perform any gainful employment, not just the job you had.
- You have been disabled for five months. Your disability is expected to last for at least 12 months or to result in death.
After 24 months, you will also qualify for Medicare benefits. This helps pay for hospital, hospice care, lab tests, home health care, and other medical services.
You may qualify for both SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) -- another federal program. This may be true if your Social Security benefits are low and you have very limited income and resources.
Qualifying for SSDI If You Have a Disability and AIDS
To receive SSDI benefits, you must meet certain criteria showing you have a disability and AIDS. You must be able to provide proof of:
- Laboratory evidence of HIV infection or at least one AIDS opportunistic infection. (CD4 count alone is not enough evidence of HIV infection.)
- Symptoms, illness, or HIV treatment side effects. These must be severe enough to result in a marked restriction of functioning in one or more activities related to:
- Activities of daily living, such as taking public transportation, doing household chores, or paying bills
- Social functioning, such as the ability to consistently interact and communicate effectively
- Concentration, persistence, or pace, such as the ability to complete tasks in a timely way

Corn, Soybeans Decline as Farmers Boost Sales After Recent Rally
Corn fell the most since mid-January and soybeans declined from a five-month high on speculation that farmers took advantage of last month's rally by boosting sales to makers of livestock feed, biofuel and food.
Before today, soybeans in Chicago jumped 15 percent since Jan. 13, and corn gained 9.1 percent as hot, dry weather reduced crop yields in South America. Rain will aid crops in parts of Argentina and eastern Brazil the next week with dry conditions expanding in parts of western Brazil, World Weather Inc. said in a report today. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will update its world supply and demand forecasts on March 9.
"Farmers have increased sales with the rally in prices, and that slowed buying interest" from processors, Jim Gerlach, the president of A/C Trading Co. in Fowler, Indiana, said in a telephone interview. "The markets are near equilibrium ahead of the USDA reports."
Corn futures for May delivery dropped 2.3 percent to close at $6.3875 a bushel at 1:15 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade, the largest drop since Jan. 12. On March 5, the price touched $6.6525, the highest since Nov. 9.
Soybean futures for May delivery slid 0.6 percent to $13.2675 a bushel in Chicago, after reaching $13.39, the highest since Sept. 21.
China Speculation
Corn also slumped on speculation that China, the world's biggest consumer of the commodity, will reduce imports of the grain and boost planting to feed expanding hog herds and chicken flocks, said Rich Nelson, the director of research for Allendale Inc. in McHenry, Illinois.
China's Heilongjiang Province, which produced about 15 percent of China's crop last year, has enough land to increase planting by as much as 15 percent this year, Governor Wang Xiankui said yesterday. The nation won't require "large imports" this year as record output in 2011 will cover demand, Nie Zhenbang, head of the State Administration of Grain said yesterday.
"The market is focused on the potential for bigger crops in China and reduced demand for U.S. exports," Allendale's Nelson said in a telephone interview.
The U.S. was the largest exporter of both commodities in the year that ended Sept. 30, according to government estimates. Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, valued at $76.5 billion in 2011, followed by soybeans at $35.8 billion.

Following on from this question, I am interested in finding out how you could measure the popularity of any and all programming languages.
As professional developers, we need to be aware of the trends in the software industry - what languages will employers be looking for in the coming few years, and we should be proficient in. Also, it can allow us to spot opportunities - perhaps there are opportunities for new developers to branch out into mainframe programming as older members of the profession retire. For this reason, it is important for us to track programming language popularity.
There are number of questions already on Stack Overflow (here and here) about how SO could be used to measure a language's popularity (or the difficulty in using said language). Other methods include tracking job adverts (i.e. http://www.hotskills.net/) and search engine query statistics (i.e. http://langpop.com/).
Can the SO community think of any other methods of measuring this?
- Use Stack Overflow tags to measure language popularity
- Search Engine query statistics
- Job adverts
- Open Source code repositories
As noted by various contributors below, each of the above sources has problems as a reference to calculate language popularity/usage.

I really like google golang but could some one explain what the rationale is for the implementors having left out a basic data structure such as sets from the standard library?

One potential reason for this omission is that it's really easy to model sets with a map.
To be honest I think it's a bit of an oversight too, however looking at Perl, the story's exactly the same. In Perl you get lists and hashtables, in Go you get arrays, slices, and maps. In Perl you'd generally use a hashtable for any and all problems relating to a set, the same is applicable to Go.
to imitate a set ints in Go, we define a map:

And the potential awkwardness of this construct is easily abstracted away:

Meeting Notes 2011 08 02
HOWTO run a meeting.
Pick a moderator, and a note-taker. The note-taker should:
- write notes in this page, put them back up online when they're done,
- edit the frontpage so that it points to this weeks and next week's meeting notes in the meeting bit,
- edit the Current Consensus Items if anything is decided to be up for consensus next week (stuff raised for consensus this week should be publicised for a final decision next week)
- edit the Consensus Items History if anything was consensed or failed to consense this week.
- tell email@example.com and email@example.com if there are new members.
Moderator should:
- make sure everyone gets a chance to speak
- speak minimally themselves
- keep the meeting moving! you're in charge of summarising the consensus, and/or suggesting things that need to be done!
- get the membership binders and ensure they are returned to the black desk
The 172nd Meeting of Noisebridge
Note-taker: FIXME YOUR NAME HERE
Moderator: FIXME THEIR NAME HERE
Introduction and Names
- What Noisebridge is about: "Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
- Round of introductions: What's your name, what do you do, and if you are new, how did you hear about Noisebridge? Start with the moderator and go left.
- A brief primer on consensus process: We agree and so should you! Only paid-up members can block consensus.
Short Announcements
Cool new projects? Something you'd like people to know? Say now, but keep it short!
New or Stale Events
Is there anything new happening at the space? Is there anything that has stopped happening at the space?
Here are the current events (you don't need to read all of these out):
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff. DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!
Want to host your event at Noisebridge? We like seeing classes and talks on interesting things pertaining to various subjects of hacking. Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our weekly Tuesday meetings to see if we're the right audience for what you want to share before announcing a new event. Additionally, please see our events hosting page for suggestions on how to use Noisebridge for your event/class/workshop.
Upcoming Events edit
Basic Income Wikipedia Jam,
This will be a small gathering of folks working together to clean up the Wikipedia page for "basic income," which is a total mess right now and the first resource many people new to the idea will encounter. There are neutrality issues, citations missing, key events unmentioned, overly verbose writing, confusing organization: on and on and on. If you're into the idea of basic income, come lend a hand. We'll have snacks! Wednesday, July 27, 18:30:
Post-quantum Crypto Talk by Peter Schwabe,
In 2012, Mark Ketchen, researcher at IBM, stated about large quantum computers that they are "within reach" and estimated a timespan of 10 to 15 years until such computers can be built. It is not clear if Ketchen is right with this estimate, it is not even clear if a large quantum computer will ever be built. However, what is clear is that such a computer will be able to break all asymmetric cryptography in wide use today. More specifically, it will break in polynomial time systems that are based on factoring (like RSA) and systems based on the discrete logarithm (like DSA, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange), including their elliptic-curve variants. There are asymmetric cryptographic systems that, as far as we know, are not broken by quantum computers, so called "post-quantum cryptography". It is obvious that once large quantum computers exist, the world will need to switch to such post-quantum schemes. However, users who are concerned about long-term security, have to switch to post-quantum schemes for confidentiality already now: an attacker who records and stores key exchanges today can go back in a decade or two and use a quantum computer to attack them. In my talk I will give a brief overview of post-quantum crypto and then highlight what we can, and should, already do today to provide long-term security in cryptographic systems. In particular, I will present the "NewHope" key exchange, which is currently used in an experiment by Google and is one of the candidates to be considered for post-quantum key exchange in Tor.

Hello fellow dieters!
To keep my very long story short, I'm 21 years old, 5ft4, a little more than just 'chubby' and doing something about it, for once
I weighed in at 202lbs on August 13th 2012 with a goal of being in the "160's" by Christmas and I am happy to say, I just about made it: weighed in at 169.4lbs today Christmas day 2012. PHEWW! I was hoping to be a bit closer to the 160 mark to be honest, but it's better than nothing!
My goal over Christmas is not necessarily to lose any weight, because my house is full of chocolate and I plan on eating at least some (most) of it...but I definitely don't want to gain, so I will be weighing every day just to keep things in check.
I will not be going out to get drunk on new year's eve because I want to be fresh for New Year's day! On the 1st January 2013 I will be re-kick starting my diet by jumping into the Dukan diet and seeing how it goes. Wish me luck!
Onwards and downwards! xox
Sweat like a pig, look like a fox

Thank you
just seems like such a long way to go, still! Can't wait until the day I step on the scale and see 125lbs! Good luck to you, what is your plan? Will you be starting in the new year too?

congratulations Sergeant on your loss - how'd you do it? How'd you stick to it? Combo of diet (which plan) and exercise? How'd you stay on plan?
I want to look up the Dukan as I'm not familiar with it.
Kudos to you for not overdoing it over the holidays!

Thank you Santiago
I didn't follow a specific diet plan, I just kept my calorie intake to around 1200 per day (upped to 1500 with protein shake on weight training days) and worked out *most* of the week. I didn't really do any cardio, I probably did one session on the bike/elliptical a week or not at all - not really a big fan of cardio as although I lose the lbs, the inches don't come off quickly enough! I focused on resistance training with medicine balls, kettle bells and weights and went from a 36.5 inch waist to a 30 inch waist in around 3 months. The healthy eating itself was fairly easy to stick to, I'm a real carnivore so ended up eating chicken most days anyway. The exercise was so much harder to stick to because I hate working out, really hate it, but once I saw the inches coming off I was motivated enough to keep going. If I really didn't feel like working out I would just cut my calorie intake back to around 1000-1200 and eat super clean and made sure I worked out the following day.
I have to say, I'm on day 2 of the Dukan diet and finding it quite difficult. I ate so much chocolate and sweets in general over Christmas that I can really feel the lack of sugar in my diet
Very tired! I chose the Dukan because it's full of meat so suits me perfectly
just need to power through the first 5 days then I can introduce veggies back into my life!
So, do you have a plan for the New Year? And do you have a plan that you will be following?

Thats so awesome sergeants! Good for you, hopefully the new year will keep that fire going and you'll hit 125 before you know It! I know how it is not liking a particular exercise, I don't like lifting because I feel silly doing it. I feel like its reserved for people who look like arnold schwarzenegger(sp?)
cardio is my thing but the two combined is what makes it work so ill have to hit the gym with the terminator on my mind!

Thank you Selenap20, I can see from your ticker you are half way to your goal! I just re-started my diet so my ticker has reset itself but at least the number on the left isn't 202lbs any more!
I used to feel exactly the same! Luckily a friend of mine worked in a gym at the time so he helped me to learn the correct ways of lifting etc but I know what you mean, especially as all of the super hulk-muscle men are all sitting in a line in front of the mirror lifting, and there's me, a weakling trying not to collapse under the smallest weight in the gym behind them! I don't know what it is about cardio that I hate so much! I think it's probably a combination of remembering what PE was like at school and hating it then plus just being on an elliptical or bike and watching the timer go down soooo slowly, just feels like forever. Whereas with weights, you can split them into sets of different exercises and it seems time goes by a bit quicker. I really don't know! But I do know that, as you said, I will have to do a combination of both cardio and resistance and to be honest, I'll take cardio over being 200lbs+ any day of the week!
What is your current exercise routine, if you don't mind me asking? I always like to try to take different ideas and see if there is something out there that perhaps I may even enjoy a little!

Currently just winging it. I got "busy" with school and work so im just getting back into it. Prior to falling off the bandwagon I would do an hour 1/2 lifting class 3x a week. Cardio of jogging, elliptical, or hour of zumba class 2x a week. Then mix it up with whatever I like on the remaining 2 days (sometimes nothing at all). My gym membership expired and I hate the commitment of a contract but the gym really helped because I bought a ton of cute workout gear and I was excited to go to show it off and to meet up with friends in the classes. Now I work out at home using my kinect playing your shape evolved 2012 (its amazing) and other dance games on it and the wii. Im doing alright now, but I think im going to have to bite the bullet, stop being cheap, and get back in the gym.
