MIDDLETOWN — New Jersey State Police are looking for the owner of a black sport utility vehicle that sideswiped a trooper's vehicle on the Garden State Parkway last week.
Sgt. Brian Polite, a state police spokesman, said the hit-and-run occurred 9:50 p.m. at mile marker 110.3 in the southbound lanes of the parkway in Middletown on Jan. 29. He said the trooper had just returned to his vehicle after speaking with the driver of a car he had stopped. The SUV sideswiped the trooper's car and sped off without stopping, Polite said.
The trooper couldn't chase the vehicle because the crash activated the car's fuel cut-off switch, disabling the vehicle, he said. The trooper suffered a minor injury to his right knee but declined medical attention.
Police suspect the SUV is a black Nissan Rogue, base model S, made either in 2008 or 2009. It lost two hubcaps on the passenger's side and should have sustained light to moderate damage on the front quarter panel of the passenger's side.
Anyone with information about the accident or the vehicle can call the State Police Holmdel Station at (732) 441-4550.

More games and information can be found at the official website.
The competition features 10 national teams, with 4 players plus a reserve for each team. The format is a single round-robin from 2-12 March at a time control of 40 moves in 90 minutes, then 30 minutes to finish with a 30 second increment from the start of the game. Games start at 15:00 local time (GMT+6) and live coverage is available at the official website.

More precisely, in the Ni-Zhukova game the White king cannot reach the safety squares of g2 and h2. These are the only two squares that avoid both a check along the back rank, and a skewer on the second.
Carpof: In the Ni-Zhukova game, white has no useful move, while black threatens to either promote their queen or capture white's rook. In particular, black threatens ...Rh1 on their very next move, after which black either promotes the pawn or, if white captures that advanced a2-pawn, then ...Rh2+ skewers white king and rook, and black captures white's rook. If white decides to escape their king away from the 2nd rank, to avoid this side check, e.g., 52.Kd3, then another check decides the game: 52...Rd1+ 53.Kc2 a1=Q 54.Rxa1 Rxa1, and white has lost the rook once again.
Play it out on a board, and see for yourself.
This is a standard rook endgame tactic, so remember it and you'll profit from that memory.
Krush them all! I think that she's going to get to 2500 soon. This performance will surely help. 6 1/2 out of 8 so far, I believe.
Seems to me like those games were decisive only because of time troubles.
Out of the top 7 teams only two teams are surely non-Russian speaking! :)
Yeah, the doubters have their "proof" - 2 bad games out of 30 undobtedly prove that she is a "fluke". Yifan never plays bad games, thats why she was out in rd.2
Shows that the world championship format for women is flawed...
Zatonskih and Krush are actually Ukrainians
Very disappointing game for Anna, after the great performance lately, I already believed she can not play bad anymore. Very similar to the last regular game at WWC when she needed draw, refused to counter-attack, stepped back, played defensively and passively, made several inaccurate moves and was punished. Hopefully she will bounce back tomorrow like she did then and will not think about the draw they need

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, the biggest stars to be accused of using banned drugs, are eligible for the first time to be elected to the Hall. Sammy Sosa, another suspect, is also a Class of 2013 candidate.
Despite their high-flying statistics, it's not likely that any of the three will be named on enough ballots by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America to qualify for enshrinement among baseball's elite.
The results will be announced on Jan. 9.
The veteran BBWAA voters have been left with a dilemma because the wealthy Lords of Baseball and their rich players didn't clean up the sport in the 1990s. Both sides were too busy chasing big bucks.
Rules set forth by the Hall of Fame require that the voting be based not only on a candidate's playing record and ability, but also explicitly on "integrity, sportsmanship, character."
Were it not for this rule, Mr. Bonds, the all-time home run champ with 762, and Mr. Clemens, with 354 wins as a pitcher, would be shoo-ins. Mr. Bonds won a record seven MVP awards; Mr. Clemens won a record seven Cy Young trophies.
Back in 1998, both Mark McGwire (70 home runs) and Mr. Sosa (66) surpassed the record Roger Maris had set in 1961 when he belted 61 homers. Their duel caused a lucrative sensation. So baseball owners backed off efforts to convince the players union to allow testing for illegal steroids.
It wasn't until 2003 — the year when Mr. Bonds sent the current one-season record of 73 homers — that there was a deal on tests for performance-enhancing drugs.
By then, the damage was done.
In seven Hall of Fame tries, Mr. McGwire has never received more than 24 percent of the vote, far below the 75 percent necessary for election. Mr. McGwire has admitted he used steroids; Mr. Bonds, Mr. Clemens and Mr. Sosa (who hit 609 career homers) have made no such admission.
A federal court jury ruled in 2011 that Mr. Bonds was guilty of obstruction of justice for being evasive before a grand jury looking into illegal steroids.
Last summer, Mr. Clemens was acquitted in federal court on six counts that he lied and obstructed Congress when he denied using performance enhancing drugs. The verdict came only after ex-teammate Andy Pettitte backed off testimony to the contrary during a previous trial.
Why does all of this really matter?
U.S. law prohibits the abuse of steroids, which, in 1990, were put into the same legal class as amphetamines, morphine and opium. Steroids can cause liver damage, high blood pressure and behavioral problems. They can kill you.
Even son, it's estimated that 75 percent of Americans who take steroids are teen-agers. This includes hundreds of thousands of high-school-age athletes, many of them seeking to enhance their chances of becoming stars in college or pro sports.
No wonder many Hall of Famers have denounced steroid-users as risk-taking cheaters who skew fair competition for their own gain.
A recent Associated Press poll of 112 veteran sports writers — nearly one fifth of the eligible Hall of Fame voters — indicated a decisive lack of support for Mr. Bonds, Mr. Clemens and Mr. Sosa.
Leaving them on the outside looking in could become a lesson to others for years to come.

The 1948 Nash pickup that appears on the cover of the March/April 2013 issue of Vintage Truck magazine was given unit No.31 and worked at Nash as a company truck for the body plant. It was acquired by Jim Dworschack around 1986 and is reputed to be an example of a production model that Nash made and intended to sell domestically.

1948 Nash Pickup
No. 31 and Nash's Brush with Pickup Production.
By Patrick Ertel
Production records for the Nash Motor Company's postwar trucks were lost after its merger with Hudson in 1954, so much of the company's truck history has to be pieced together from personal recollections and public records.
It is known that Nash Motors entered the postwar era with enthusiasm and plans for an expanded model line. High on the list of new products was a line of trucks. MoToR magazine announced in January 1946 that Nash would produce three models with half-, 3/4-, and 1½-ton capacities.
The company spent the ensuing year building and testing prototypes. A March 1947 press release proclaimed that a half-ton pickup and two larger models would soon go into production. In November 1948, however, the company reported that the truck project, at least for the domestic market, had been postponed indefinitely.
That did not stop Nash from making trucks. One-ton and larger trucks were built for the domestic and export markets, and it is rumored that even pickups were built for export. In addition, Nash needed trucks to transport bodies, parts, and complete cars to and from the company's production and test facilities scattered up and down the shores of Lake Michigan. Nash was perfectly capable of building its own trucks, and it did.
Photos of a number of pickups taken at the Nash factory have survived. Some trucks were production prototypes built when Nash was still considering making pickups for the market, but some may have been built simply for company use.
Many "glamour shots" show variations of a truck of about half-ton capacity with a beam axle in front and leaf springs front and rear. This truck, or series of trucks, has pre-1946 Nash 600 front sheet metal and rear fenders. Some photos show a truck with no spare tire and others show a side-mount spare. The spare is mounted high enough that the rear fender did not need to be cut out to accommodate the tire, suggesting that the photos may be of the same vehicle with and without the tire mount installed. Photos showing various configurations of chrome and painted trim also may be of the same truck. The photos offer no clue as to whether they depict a single prototype, which was modified repeatedly, or if there were several trucks.
A prototype truck that is still in existence is similar except that the rear fender is cut out in order to mount the spare tire lower. This truck has a 1945 Nash 600 serial number and carries an identification plate stating it is a "SAMPLE." It is on display at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford.
A photo of the proving ground garage fleet shows an obviously different pickup. This truck wears the same early Model 600 front sheet metal with no trim except for a 1942-style, vertical Nash badge on the hood and chrome spears on the hood sides. The hood has raised panels on its top near the cowl. The truck has a simple box for a bed with tall frames on the bed sides and crude semi-circular fenders. It has the number "3" on the cowl and "Nash Kelvinator Corporation" on the driver's door. The number on the cowl is typical of vehicles that Nash kept for its own use.
Plant Pickup
Nash built a third type of pickup, one of which has survived and is in working condition. Jim Dworschack of Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, owns this truck, and it is reputed to be an example of a production model that Nash made and intended to sell domestically. It is built with many off-the-shelf 1948 Nash Ambassador parts. The front sheet metal is straight off an Ambassador, and the frame is from an Ambassador convertible.
The convertible has a reinforced sedan frame, the reinforcement made necessary because the convertible body did not offer the structural strength added by the roof of the sedan. The pickup also needed the extra strength, so the convertible frame was a logical choice. The front springs are heavy-duty units that were offered as an option on the Ambassador, and the rear rides on special leaf springs.
The cab is basically the front of a 1948 Ambassador sedan cut off behind the seat with a special stamping welded on to fill in the rear. It is the same one used on Nash's large trucks—with appropriate mounts to fit it to the convertible frame and a cutout section to accommodate the side-mounted spare tire. It is one of the earliest known truck cabs to feature quarter windows.
Nash contracted with Heil to make the bed especially for these trucks. The rear fenders are 1948 Ambassador units with spacers shaped to allow them to be bolted to the bed. The right fender has a well installed to accommodate the spare tire.
After it was built and given unit No. 31, the truck that Jim now owns worked at Nash as a company truck for the body plant. It is not believed to be the only production version built—Nash employees reportedly used several of these trucks to run between plants—but it is the only one known to have survived. No records show how many pickups were made.
"We in the Nash club think more Nash pickups were sold overseas than in the United States," said Jim. "It sold poorly here because the price was so much higher than other pickups. Trucks were in high demand all over the world, and the overseas market would buy whatever was available at any price. Still, no other pickups of this type have been located anywhere."
Buying No. 31
Jim acquired No. 31 about 1986. When Nash was finished with it, the truck was sold to an employee. It next surfaced in the late '60s as a parts runner for an auto parts store. By then it was totally worn out. In the late '60s or early '70s, a Nash Car Club of America member purchased it and began to restore it.
"I had always been interested in old Nash products," Jim told me. "I visited the owner in late '72 or '73, and he had taken it apart and repaired the rust in the cab. In 1986, I ran into him at a Nash club meet and discussed the truck with him. He said that he hadn't touched it since I had last seen it, and he offered to sell it to me."
The truck was in pieces when Jim picked it up, and much of it was rusted metal. The cab rust had already been repaired, though, and the purchase included a lot of NOS parts. Having new parts to replace the rusted ones made the job of fixing up the truck less daunting.
It took Jim about eight months to get No. 31 back on the road. "Since then, I've used it for chores, hauling firewood, and so on." said Jim. "I pull a trailer behind it if I have a lot to move. I use it to run errands into town. It's my only pickup, and I live on a farm, so you can imagine it gets its share of use."
Jim uses No. 31 regularly and doesn't have a special maintenance regimen for the old truck. "I give it regular grease jobs and oil changes, check the fluids, and so on. Nothing special," he said. The only mechanical issues he's had is a problem with the valves that cropped up shortly after he bought it and worn rear axle bearings. Like most old vehicles, if it sits a while, the wheel cylinders stick, so he tries to drive it regularly.
"The repair I've made the most is replacing the rear glass in the cab, and that's been my own fault. I've broken the rear window a couple of times while putting cargo in the truck, and once after hauling a piano. I was pushing the piano off the back of the truck and caved the window in. I didn't realize I was pushing against the rear window."
Jim's truck does its share of work on the Dworschack farm, working alongside No. 5—Jim's Nash dump truck, which is also a rescued Nash company vehicle. The trucks are driven as often as possible, but neither of them ever sees Wisconsin's salty winter roads.
The truck's red paint has faded some and accumulated some scratches in the 25 years since the restoration was completed. The Nash pickup, though, is just as sound mechanically as the day the restoration was completed.
Jim's plan for No. 31 is to keep it working. "It's an old restoration already, but I'll just maintain it and use it. Maybe my son or another Nash collector will want it when I'm done with it."
Jim would be happy to exchange emails with anyone wanting to talk Nash. He can be contacted at email@example.com.
The Nash Car Club of America, the word's gathering place for Nash enthusiasts, has a wealth of Nash information and photos at www.nashcarclub.org as well as a Facebook page.

Article: What is Aiki? by George S. Ledyard

Re: Article: What is Aiki? by George S. Ledyard
George S. Ledyard
Thanks guys! ...
Anyway, this isn't meant to be an explanation of how O-Sensei understood these things. This is how I understand them. These are the principles which I use when I am doing my Aikido. Most people have read various books on Aikido and have heard many of these Japanese terms used but most folks have no actual idea what these terms mean in the practical sense of how they actually operate in technique and how they would go about training to develop this understanding.
The task of our day is to make aikido plain-spoken, but still inspiring in its choice of words. (I know for a fact that I fail on both counts.) This is how I think O-Sensei originally meant to be understood: plainly and with much feeling. He meant there to be no intellectual or emotional barriers to the art at all.
O-Sensei spoke of difficult things, but in terms of fairly common usage -- when he developed them. Even Omoto was popular precisely because it was a teaching of common language and feeling, not a comprehensive ideology. Even training in Japan today will hardly expose one to the same cultural environment in which aikido was understood when it was developed.
A Westerner would have to look very hard for such opportunities. Today, anything less than an graduate-level education (or better) in the underlying cultural history makes O-Sensei's original descriptions of aikido far more esoteric than he meant it to be -- or than it is.
This article is exactly what we need: the
of ideas, not just more translation of them. It is a direction that I hope will be promoted more widely. I hope that book will get written.
It is a very good start.

Local resident Jane Bowling was walking her Labrador in the Gilwen valley when she spotted the animal, which she claims was twice as big as her pet. Speaking to the Tivyside newspaper, she said: "I had just reached this gate when I turned round and I saw this large cat emerging from the bushes to my left. "It then ran across the field about 50-70 yards away from where I stood. I didn't actually see it clear the fence on the other side but it was way too big to have gone under it. I just couldn't believe my eyes."

text: My Taurus raging .44 has taken to locking up during double action. Looking into its guts I can see that the double action sear is locking up against the trigger preventing firing. It won't happen every time but let's say 2 out of 6. Single action still works fine, I have been dry firing away but can't work through this. So the question is can I fix this myself, or should I just send it in?

Reds 4, Mets 3: Three Up, Three Down
Still no offense. Still no offense.
Three Up:
1. OF Marlon Byrd: Byrd's three-run homer off Johnny Cueto was the only offensive spark for the Mets, who continue to struggle consistently at the plate.
2. OF Rick Ankiel: In the lineup due to his success against Cueto, Ankiel reached base in each of his first two at-bats. That might be enough for the Mets to try him out in the two hole again.
3. RHP Greg Burke: This is more a makeup call for last weekend in Chicago, where Burke continued to establish himself as a consistent performer. He has not allowed a run since returning from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Three Down:
1. 1B Ike Davis: Another 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, plus an obstruction call at first base. Even at the nadir of his slump last season, Davis never struggled on defense to the extent he is now.
2. 2B Daniel Murphy: All hot streaks must come to an end; Murphy's came crashing down with an 0-for-4 performance, including a key strikeout in the seventh inning with the tying run in scoring position.
3. SS Ruben Tejada: Tejada looks absolutely lost offensively, and he's not enough of a difference-maker on defense to make up for it. At what point do the Mets consider giving Justin Turner some starts at short?

Cardinals 10, Mets 4: Three Up, Three Down
How deep does this rabbit hole go?
Three Up:
1. 2B Daniel Murphy: The Mets officially have a nominee for Streakiest Hitter in Baseball. Since snapping last week's 0-for-17 skid at the plate, Murphy has gone 6-for-9 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored.
2. OF Marlon Byrd: Something clicked for Byrd after he jammed his shoulder into the right-field wall attempting to catch a foul ball in the fifth. An inning later, he hit a two-run home run, one of Byrd's two extra-base hits on the night.
3. RHP Greg Burke: Good for Burke, who has now given the Mets 2 1/3 scoreless innings since returning from Triple-A Las Vegas. Another inning or two, and this may take the form of real progress for the submariner.
Three Down:
1. RHP Dillon Gee: After giving up another six runs in four innings, Gee sounded like a pitcher who was completely out of answers. He'll need to find some before his next start, or risk losing his grip on a rotation spot.
2. LHP Robert Carson: Like Gee, Carson has displayed an utter inability to get batters out with any sort of consistency. There's certainly talent here, but Carson needs to figure out how to tap it if he wants to stay at this level.
3. 1B Ike Davis: Another forgettable day for Davis, who finished 0-for-4 at the plate and committed a (at the time) critical throwing error to spark a first-inning Cardinals rally. Considering how badly he has slumped offensively, Davis needs to be perfect on defense.

Cardinals 6, Mets 3: Three Up, Three Down
Blame Jon Niese's glove?
Three Up:
1. RHP Jeremy Hefner: Yet again, Hefner gave the Mets a chance to win, which is all they can ask out of their fifth starter. The Cardinals had Hefner on the ropes early, but he made the necessarily adjustments to provide six quality innings.
2. 2B Daniel Murphy: This guy is so streaky that even his streaks have streaks. Murphy is 4-for-5 since emerging from last week's massive funk; who knows how far the second baseman will take this?
3. RHP Greg Burke: Somebody had to put out the fire at Busch Stadium. It happened to be Burke. We'll see if this is an isolated outing, or an example of real long-term growth from the adjustments he made at Las Vegas.
Three Down:
1. OF Rick Ankiel: Catching Ty Wigginton's double would not have been easy, but Ankiel took a somewhat circuitous route to the ball. Throw in his two strikeouts in three at-bats, and this was hardly the Mets debut that he wanted.
2. RHP Scott Atchison: As if allowing hard-hit balls to all three batters he faced was not enough, Atchison revealed afterward that he couldn't feel his fingers thanks to a torn elbow ligament. Never a good sign.
3. LHP Scott Rice: The fact that Rice took his third loss was at least partially Ankiel's fault. But Rice also committed a critical blunder, failing to cover home on the ball that kicked off his foot.

Phillies 8, Mets 3: Three Up, Three Down
Probably not what the Mets envisioned tonight. Okay, definitely not what the Mets envisioned.
Three Up:
1. 2B Daniel Murphy: Murphy just continues to drive the ball with authority, this time rapping out a single and a double in four trips to the plate. He had two of the Mets' eight hits against Lee.
2. C John Buck: Another night, another opposite-field homer for the National League's RBI leader. Ho-hum.
3. RHP LaTroy Hawkins: It may have been a low-leverage situation, but Hawkins' 10-pitch seventh against Michael Young, Domonic Brown and John Mayberry was impressive. Overall lately, the Mets' bullpen has been sharp.
Three Down:
1. RHP Dillon Gee: Mets starters entered tonight's game with a 1.87 ERA. They exited the stadium with a 3.11 ERA. Enough said.
2. RHP Greg Burke: Here's something to keep an eye on: when Burke puts runners on base, he has a hard time holding them there. Burke's submarine delivery is slow to the plate, as Chase Utley demonstrated by stealing second and scoring against him in the fourth. That could loom large in future high-leverage situations.
3. 2B Justin Turner: Given a rare start at first base, Turner grounded into a double play in his first at-bat, finished 1-for-4 with a single and committed a throwing error on defense. Spot starting isn't easy, but the Mets were hoping for more.

Mets 4, Marlins 3: Three Up, Three Down
When Marlon Byrd stepped to the plate in the ninth inning Sunday, do you think he knew he was at risk of losing a point in this space for the first time this season? I do too.
Three Up:
1. OF Marlon Byrd: Can't lie to you: Byrd was on the Three Down list before coming up with a game-winning two-run single in the ninth. Was his soft ground ball more a product of opportunity than anything else? Sure. But here at Three Up, Three Down, we reward walk-off hits 100 percent of the time.
2. RHP Greg Burke: The only reason the Mets stayed close all afternoon is because Burke wriggled out of Laffey's jam in the fifth inning, giving the Mets 1 2/3 key innings of relief. For the first time this season, he aimed for strikeouts instead of ground balls, finding some success in the process.
3. SS Ruben Tejada: Not only did Tejada's error streak end, but he also reached base twice and stole a critical base with one out in the seventh. Most importantly, he made an aggressive (and fortuitous) dash on the base paths, going first to third on Kirk Nieuwenhuis' one-out single in the ninth. That was huge.
Three Down:
1. LHP Aaron Laffey: Ten hits in 4 1/3 innings ain't going to cut it. Laffey's rope in the rotation can't be very long, which is bad news for the Mets; with Shaun Marcum out indefinitely, they don't really have a good in-house alternative.
2. OF Lucas Duda: Two strikeouts and an 0-for-4 were bad enough, but Duda also took an, um, questionable route to Rob Brantly's double in the seventh. That one did not come back to bite the Mets, but it reminded them that Duda is hardly a natural out there.
3. OF Collin Cowgill: Known primarily for his work against lefty pitching, Cowgill drew a tough assignment leading off against hard-throwing Marlins rookie Jose Fernandez, an electric right-hander. But, again, life ain't fair.

Marlins 7, Mets 5: Three Up, Three Down
That one got away from them quickly. Here are three reasons why, and three reasons why not:
Three Up:
1. RHP Jeremy Hefner: Once again, the Mets received a strong outing from their starting pitcher, leaning on Hefner for six innings of one-run ball. This loss was hardly Hef's fault.
2. 2B Daniel Murphy: His three-run homer in the seventh proved that yes, as a matter of fact, the Mets did still have an offensive pulse. Murphy later grounded out with the tying runs on base, but we can't hold that against him because he put the Mets in that position in the first place. Murphy saved another run with a nice defensive play in the ninth.
3. OF Jordany Valdespin: He was picked off first base once, nearly doubled off the bag twice, and took a horrific route to Giancarlo Stanton's two-base hit in the ninth. But Valdespin did rap out two hits, steal a bag, reach base four times and draw an eight-pitch walk to set up Murphy's homer. This is the least we can do for Valdespin, who was also plunked by the baseball twice (ouch).
Three Down:
1. SS Ruben Tejada: Tejada's fielding error in the seventh inning opened the floodgates for the Marlins, who scored five runs in the inning. It was Tejada's third error in four games. Somewhere, John Dewan shed a tear.
2. RHP Greg Burke: Of course, Tejada's error would have been a footnote had Burke recovered to limit the damage. He didn't, walking the next batter and allowing four runs (one earned) in 0.1 innings.
1B Ike Davis: Here we go again? Davis grounded into a double play (again), struck out (again) and finished 0-for-4 (again). He was robbed of a hit in the fifth inning, but stats are stats: he's now 1-for-16 on the season.

Mets 8, Padres 4: Three Up, Three Down
Another game with lots of positives tonight for the Mets. But alas, in this space, only three players can be up and three must be down:
Three Up:
1. RHP Matt Harvey: He would be Three Up all by himself if it were not against the rules. But we're a stickler for rules here, so Harvey goes +1 with a dominant seven-inning, one-hit, 10-strikeout performance.
2. OF Lucas Duda: Coming into the game, Duda had four home runs in 215 career at-bats against left-handers. He made that five in 215 with his two-run shot off Clayton Richard, adding a double and a walk later in the game.
3. 1B Ike Davis: The more impressive offensive stat line belonged to John Buck, but Davis sorely needed to snap his 0-for-the-season in Game 2. He did so with an absolute bomb, scraping the Shea Bridge with his two-run shot in the fifth.
Three Down:
1. SS Ruben Tejada: He struck out twice and hit two lazy flys in four hitless at-bats, then committed a throwing error in the ninth for good measure. Not good for a guy who spent his spring concentrating on hitting line drives and ground balls.
2. RHP Greg Burke: Burke relieved Harvey and gave up hits to the first two batters he saw — that's twice as many as Harvey allowed all night, for those keeping track. To be fair, Burke did recover after that, generating consecutive ground balls to limit the damage to one run.
3. RHP LaTroy Hawkins: Same deal. Two straight hits to start the ninth, but recovered until Tejada's error led to two more unearned runs. Say this about Burke and Hawkins: at least they didn't walk anyone.
Three Up, Three Down Season Standings:
+1 OF Collin Cowgill
+1 LHP Jon Niese
+1 RHP Matt Harvey
+1 OF Lucas Duda
-1 OF Jordany Valdespin
-1 OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis
-1 RHP Greg Burke
-1 RHP LaTroy Hawkins

Analysis: Lutz makes the team only if Wright or Murphy is not healed from injury. Nieuwenhuis has little shot unless one of the other five outfielders are injured, or perhaps if the Mets DL Murphy and use Valdespin at second base. Familia is still a legitimate consideration to make the team over Burke. Other than that, the roster appears set.

The scene: Greg Burke's funky delivery
I'd consider Greg Burke a good bet to make the team at this point. Which means you'll be seeing much more of this in Flushing this summer:

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- UAB athletics director Brian Mackin didn't offer a specific timetable for finding a new football coach but he did express the need to move quickly.
Mackin said it's a critical time for not only filling out a recruiting class but also for keeping the 15 players currently committed to the program. He doesn't want a repeat of when Neil Callaway was hired and still finished out his duties as Georgia's offensive coordinator in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl played on Dec. 30, 2006.
"When we hired Neil last time, he coached in the bowl game and didn't come until January," Mackin said. "Based on that experience, I obviously would like to have someone in here before the end of December."

Team USA loses to Finland in final World Junior Hockey tune-up game
In its final tune-up game for the World Junior Hockey Championships, Team USA dropped a 5-1 decision to Finland Saturday in Helsinki, Finland.
Union sophomore defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who is in the running to make the team, didn't figure in the scoring. He did have a slashing penalty in the second period. Gostisbehere scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Sweden.
Finland was 3-for-8 on the power play. The three power-play goals came during a four-goal third period that broke the game open.
"Finland took the lead in the first period and I thought we disrupted the flow of our play by taking penalties," Team USA coach Phil Housley said. "We cannot afford to take as many penalties as we did and expect to win. We will focus on becoming more disciplined before the tournament begins."
The final 23-man roster will be announced at 3 a.m. Sunday. Team USA will cut three players.
The tournament begins Wednesday in Ufa, Russia. Team USA's first game will be Thursday against Germany at 9 a.m.

Syracuse Jazz Fest executive director Frank Malfitano announced the lineup this morning for the annual Legends of Jazz series at Onondaga Community College.
The six-concert series will feature Dianne Reeves, Gregory Porter, Don Byron New Gospel Quintet with Carla Cook and the Cyrille Aimee Sextet. Two "bonus" shows feature Soul Monde and John Medeski. The series will run from September 27 through March 28.
All shows except the two "bonus" concerts -- John Medeski and Soule Monde -- will be held at Storer Auditorium at OCC. Medeski and Soule Monde will perform in the new recital hall in Academic II.
Malfitano stressed that Jazz Fest is a year-round effort, of which the series is a major part. The 31st annual Syracuse Jazz Fest takes place July 4-6 at Jamesville Beach Park.
"It's easy to not give us funding if you think we're just one weekend long," he said. "We're more than that, though. We're year-round."
Malfitano will host a live Q & A session open to the public Wednesday, June 19 at 11:30 p.m. on Syracuse.com, where he will answer any and all questions about the event. Click here to join the Q & A.
Season tickets for the Legends of Jazz series go on sale Monday, July 8 at 10 a.m. via srcarena.com or at 315-498-2772. They are $50 and include admission to all six events. The first 150 season tickets purchased guarantee seating in the first eight rows at the Storer concerts and guaranteed admission to the two "bonus" concerts in the new hall.
Individual show tickets are $25 per show and must be purchased in pairs. The "bonus" concerts are only open to season ticket holders.
Malfitano also announced previously released updates to the Jazz Fest lineup and noted several schedule changes.
Chief among the additions are Giacomo Gates, West Coast Cool and Syracuse a capella group Five to Life. Malfitano also announced the firework display will take place at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 4, rather than 11 p.m., as originally scheduled.
Concerning Jazz Fest funding, Malfitano said the festival "did come up a little short" this year, but insisted it will remain a free admission event as long as he is around. He noted the difficulty of sustaining such an event in this market.
"You see operas and orchestras coming and going," he said. "There are festivals suspending operations. It's Darwinian."
Malfitano was referring to the recent dissolution of the Syracuse Symphony as well as the NYS Blues Fest, which announced two weeks ago it would not hold a festival this year for lack of funding.
Jazz Legends Series lineup:
Sept. 27 -- Dianne Reeves, 7 p.m., Storer Auditorium
Nov. 1 -- Gregory Porter, 7 p.m., Storer Auditorium
Nov. 22 -- BONUS SHOW: Soule Monde, 7 p.m., Recital hall in Academic II
Dec. 6 -- BONUS SHOW: John Medeski, 7 p.m., Recital hall in Academic II
Feb. 28 -- Don Byron New Gospel Quintet with Carla Cook, 7 p.m., Storer Auditorium
Mar. 28 -- Cyrille Aimee Sextet, 7 p.m., Storer Auditorium

The Biogenesis scandal could be coming to a Wild Card game near you.
The Texas Rangers will activate outfielder Nelson Cruz for tonight's one-game showdown with the Tampa Bay Rays, according to MLB.com. The winner will win the American League's second Wild Card spot and travel to Cleveland for a one-game date with the Indians.
Cruz's role, if any, will be determined by manager Ron Washington before tonight's contest. The outfielder's 50-game suspension concluded at the end of the regular season, which culminated with a seven-game Rangers winning streak.
"It feels special to be back," Cruz told the Rangers' official site. "It shows they believe in me. I have been working every day to make sure I am ready. I want to play. I want to be a part of this team and help them win championships."
Texas acquired outfielder Alex Rios from the Chicago White Sox last month and got sound contributions from outfielders Leonys Martin and Craig Gentry during its September push. Rios has hit .280 with six home runs and 25 RBIs in 46 games with the Rangers.
Cruz was hitting .269 with 27 home runs and 76 RBIs at the time of his suspension, which threatened to derail the Rangers' playoff hopes. He's a dangerous hitter who has thrived in the postseason with 14 home runs and 27 RBIs in 34 career playoff games.
Cruz was among 13 players suspended in Major League Baseball's investigation into Biogenesis, a Florida-based anti-aging clinic charged with supplying performance-enhancing drugs to athletes. Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and Jhonny Peralta were among the other announced suspensions.
Cruz opted to serve the suspension immediately rather than appeal, in part because of the effect a looming suspension would have on his pursuit of a free agent contract. Postseason heroics would also drive up Cruz's market value, assuming he gets a chance to crack the Rangers' lineup.

I'm sure in the next 12/15 months we'll be seeing flat fee's across the board, National City is already setting up their structure for it ...
Make sure you have a buyer's agent representing you that has done this a few times (at least)

And now Ifan, whose family have farmed around 800 acres of land just outside the small village of Llanuwchllyn since his great grandfather bought it, is forging a career with Forestry Commission Wales.
Ifan, 25, has just been taken on as a forest craftsperson after completing his apprenticeship with the Commission, which manages the Welsh Government's 126,000 hectares (311,000 acres) of woodlands.
Based in LLanidloes, Ifan will help to look after the 13,000-hectare Hafren forest – about 130 square kilometres – ensuring the public are able to enjoy the beautiful landscape of mid-Wales.
Along with fellow forest craftsperson Hugh Lewis, Ifan will erect and repair fencing, clear forest paths and rights of ways and carry out a variety of conservation work.
He said, "After working as an apprentice in Dyfi Forest, near Machynlleth, I have gained the skills and qualifications to do more and more forest operations.
"I'm really looking forward to putting these into practice in mid-Wales as part of Forestry Commission Wales's work to make our woodlands friendly, accessible places where people can relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery."
Before joining Forestry Commission Wales, Ifan worked briefly as a plant mechanic for Jones Bros civil engineering company, based in Ruthin.
Jim Ralph, the Forestry Commission Wales local area manager in Hafren, said, "Ifan's recruitment will enable us to continue to develop our forest stewardship activities in mid-Wales.
"It will ensure that the standards of work can be maintained and mean that the work will be done quickly and efficiently as a two-man team."

A total of 14.3 per cent of Wales is covered by woodlands. Of this, 38% (126,000 hectares/311,000 acres) is owned by the Welsh Government.
Forestry Commission Wales is the Welsh Government's department of forestry and manages these woodlands on its behalf.

A 17-year-old was taken to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries late Wednesday after ramming two police cars while trying to flee, Milwaukie police said early Thursday.
The incident began about 11:10 p.m. when a Milwaukie patrol officer was dispatched to a fireworks complaint at Ardenwald Elementary School near the 3600 block of Southeast Roswell Street.
The officer tried to contact occupants in a parked car near Southeast 36th Avenue and Southeast Barba Street, but the driver tried to flee, taking off into a cul-de-sac, then twice ramming the front of the patrol car, police said.
Police followed the car toward Southeast 79th Avenue and Southeast Luther Street when the driver again turned into a dead-end street. The driver also struck a Clackamas County Sheriff's patrol car, police said.
Police eventually stopped the car in Portland. The two passengers in the car, both minors, were released to guardians.
The matter has been referred to the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office.
Both patrol cars were damaged in the incident.

Yes. It's just wire. "Magnet" wire is just intended to be used to wrap stators and rotors in electric motors, or something of the sort. It's usually lacquer coated. 73! -Adam WJ4X On 1/11/2011 7:50 PM, K2VI wrote: > Hi to all, I have to opportnity to purchase 800 feet of 14 guage copper > magnet wire.

Earlier this month, NCAA associate director of operations Susan Peal said the NCAA is considering an early signing period in college football.
Georgia coach Mark Richt said earlier this week to be careful what you wish for.
Those polled by the Atlanta Journal Constitution said coaches, as a whole, are always in favor of an early signing period.
"I think the coaches keep bringing it up every year. Somewhere it dies after it leaves the coaches," Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. "I'll just put it that way ... I don't understand it either. I've sat in many of those meetings. We leave with the coaches vote (in favor of it), and then it just dies and goes away later on. I don't know what happens."
Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze tried to give perspective from both sides of the debate.
"The one negative in people's minds is that we're expediting the process," Freeze said. "If that's the case, we (as college coaches) are going to stay here and try to get them (high school juniors) on campus all of June and July, so that hopefully you can convince them to come on and sign with you early. And the last thing we need to do is try to expedite it. But the other side of it, which would outweigh it and would make me in favor of (an early signing period), is the fact that you would be able to get a kid signed who is committed to you where you don't have some of the last two-week drama that you have now ..."

Hello Jodyjoe0, greetings and welcome to the Narutopedia! Thanks for your edit to the Talk:Itachi Uchiha page.
We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIEVE IT!

Re: Can you give me permission to edit?
As a registered user, you should be able to edit pages. Going by your question, I think you tried to edit an article which is semi-protected, meaning only logged in users can edit it. The most likely reason for you not to be able to edit it at the moment is because you're still not an auto-confirmed user. That happens when you make a certain number of edits, or when you have a confirmed email account tied to your username, something like that. For future reference, when editing talk pages, sign your posts, just put ~~~~ at the end of your comment and it'll sign it with a link to your talk page, making it easier for people to contact you, and will timestamp your comment as well.

well it is itachis power BUT by the aid of shisui- like it is danzous power by aid of shisuis eye.
actually its the same thing. danzou used it by implantig it in HIS eye socket BUT itachi implanted it in HIS crow and set it up to cast genjutsu protect konoA. if itachi wasn't the one who used it it wouldn't have been the precise order that ITACHI implanted into it(protect konoha)i think it is very logical and should be added that itachi is a user of kotoamatsukami yet it's by the aid of shisuis eye not hisown. otherwise why danzou is added as the user of it?
Re: The itachi and kisame vs Jiraya situation NEED HELP!
Fan-level? Are you kidding me? Total lie, Suki-senpai! I saw that conversation, everyone listed facts about the section and justified their reasoning. We're not blocking this Jody person because of what he said, we're blocking him because he was messing with Jacce-senapi's Block Check section and removing the anon user there that was acting kinda uncivilized during the conversation and then the anon was trying to delete it repeatedly after Deva reverted the anon's change.--NinjaSheik 22:15, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
There nothing i did that would really justified a block and im not the only one being uncvillzed im being a attacked and my post deleted...
and nobody justified there reasoning they just said blame kishi or jumped around the topic completely ... so please give it a rest.
ANYWAY ShounenSuki I AWAIT YOU REPONSE!Jodyjoe0 (talk) 22:28, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
Nothing wrong? That's even more of a lie. First of all, you're taking off anon user off of Jacce's Block Check, someone who deserved to get block for erasing a section of Itachi's discussion page. And secondly, you're trying to get me and Deva-senpai block, when we did absolutely nothing wrong.--NinjaSheik 22:42, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
That was a accident i tryed to delete my section but i messed up twice because somebody keeps puting that section i added back i got mad and didnt see where i was cliking im not aware if you cant delete your own section.
im trying to block you becauses your trying to block me for no real reason other then disagreeing lets face it..anyway im awaiting ShounenSuki to see if this madness will end. i suggest you stop trying to block me and do the same. Jodyjoe0 (talk) 22:51, August 12, 2011 (UTC))
What section? You were trying to take the anon user off way before I added your name to the Block Check. I added you to it because you keep taking off the anon user, I'm not putting your name there because I disagree with you. And would you block Deva, too? Because he also reverted your change to Jacce's Block Check because you kept trying to take the anon user off? You're just making false excuses to save your own butt. Here's the evidence.--NinjaSheik 22:55, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
im trying to block deva because its him who deleted my post and i think he was the one who kept adding my secations back i thought that was very trollish of him to delete my post to keep any body from seeing my answers..
then i saw him try to block my ip like the troll he is. so im going to give him some of his own medicine.
anyway im still not in the wrong if people would of just left my reponses alone instead of trying to cover up the truth to fit there own bias his would not be happening but the trolls will keep trolling.anyway we will see whos wrong and right
by the way thats not evdvience your trying to save your self as well .Jodyjoe0 (talk) 23:36, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
What post? Deleting posts are against wiki rules, everyone knows that. You can only remove a post if it's vandalism. Deva is a top editor on the wiki, he isn't like that at all! He's not a troll. You're only trying to block him for revenge? And the link I put there was to show Suki-senpai that you were trying to get me, Deva block, and you're trying to stop the anon from being block.
Saving myself, huh? With good reason, unlike you. I didn't do anything wrong. You, on the other hand, did.--NinjaSheik 23:45, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
Guys, Shounen's talkpage is not the place for this he has
my stuff to answer i mean important things to <_< >_>" NinjaSheik, just ignore the Jodyjoe0 person, you're in the right. Just revert vandalism when you see it as you usually do.--Cerez365™ 23:49, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, sir!--NinjaSheik 23:52, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, this is his page, I though it was Shounen's o.o" Sorry.--Cerez365™ 23:56, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
The conversation was on Suki-sepai's page, but I moved it here. It should be here orginally, but I wanted to tell Suki-senpai the truth. I apologize for the trouble, Cerez-senpai. Sorry you had to interfere.--NinjaSheik 23:58, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Nah, there was no trouble on your part, so no need for apologising.--Cerez365™ 00:01, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
your not telling Suki-sepai anything but lies Jodyjoe0 (talk) 00:10, August 13, 2011 (UTC))
are you kidding i cant even remove topics on my own talk page??????????Jodyjoe0 (talk) 00:14, August 13, 2011 (UTC))
Pretty much, see the Narutopedia:Talkpage policy. You can't delete topics on anyone's talkpage. And FYI, I don't lie.--NinjaSheik 00:16, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
- What on Earth is going on here? —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 17:28, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
Friend, there's no way that the two people you're reporting for a block check will even remotely be considered for such so stop vandalising Jacce's page. Also as it pertains to the Itachi section, I was the one that removed your edit if I remember correctly. This was for the simple fact that the page was becoming a forum talk and Omnibender said it should be left to die. All the relevant information has been provided in that same section and from the exact person you're asking for help right now. It all comes down to one thing: we won't construe the mangakas words for "logic" so stop, you're fighting a non-existent battle.--Cerez365™ 23:54, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
are you kidding me? so you get to remove everybodys post and those who complan get blocked WTF for getting into a up roar about it.
wasnt just stated that it was agasint the rules for that to happen? arent you vandalising?
and no the person im aking for help just tranlted what was on the page as asked by Omnibender what im asking for is context to the situation.
was itachi was tired from the previous fight? was he trying to protect the leaf? how could jiraya>itachi and kisame and then you post itachi=jiraya how is this even logical possible you know things that are put in context?things you deleted to keep the truth from coming out.
And im not your friend i dont like editors who manputalte manga statments to benfit your there on personal beliefs thank you very much.
and shouldnt you be block then? for breaking the rules?Jodyjoe0 (talk) 00:08, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
Posts on discussion pages are allowed to be removed when a decision is concluded. Post added to a closed discussion are remove to prevent more arguement from breaking out.
EDIT: Removing posts on your own talkpage is also against the rules. See the Narutopedia:Talkpage policy--NinjaSheik 00:12, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
well i read the rule dats all folksJodyjoe0 (talk) 00:29, August 13, 2011 (UTC))

SYDNEY — While it's known alcohol can change your perception of events, Police Chief Peter McIsaac would like Cape Bretoners to completely change their perception about alcohol.
"There are 19- to 20-year-olds who are experienced drinkers and that's just wrong," says MacIsaac. "The average age of initiation to alcohol in Nova Scotia is 12.9 years of age — that's unacceptable. That's the kind of stuff the data is showing here, so we've got to change the attitudes before we move forward."
At the Board of Police Commissioners meeting Tuesday, McIsaac spoke about a partnership between the municipal police force and the Cape Breton District Health Authority to co-host community dialogues, develop policy and find ways to encourage people to drink less.
"When I partnered with the CBDHA on this initiative, I knew from my experience as police officer for almost 30 years, going back to when I was on the road responding to calls, the root cause of a lot of complaints was associated with alcohol," said McIsaac.
The chief blamed the lifestyle in Cape Breton and other communities for glorifying alcohol when the opposite should be taking place.
"It impacts all of us but when you see the health risks associated with alcohol — hundreds of diseases are associated with it and you don't realize the impact it has. It is a worthwhile project to move forward on," said McIsaac.
The project is called the Municipal Alcohol Policy project and its overall goal is to illustrate and understand alcohol-related harms within the community so that bylaws and policies can be developed. The police and the district plan to host a series of community dialogues to educate the population with the goal of laying a foundation to develop healthy public policy. An advertisement campaign is about to start and meetings are being planned for the future.
McIsaac says the first step is getting rid of the idea that alcohol is fun and cool.
"We're trying to change that attitude. We want the same thing that has taken place with smoking. Go back to 25, 30 years ago with smoking. Back then, everyone smoked, but when we realized the dangers associated with it, there was that whole paradigm shift. That's what we want to do with this municipal alcohol project."
McIsaac says his department is tracking the numbers of crimes associated with alcohol use. He suspects the numbers to be in the 70 per cent range. Nova Scotia police do say that 90 per cent of their work is related to abuse of alcohol or other drugs, and that close to 2,300 hospitalizations annually are directly related to alcohol use.
The chief says people are drinking more and more often with heavy drinking becoming the norm for many people. People are starting to drink at an earlier age and binge drinking is becoming more common.
"It's not that we are drinking, it's how we are drinking," McIsaac says. "The real importance of this is changing the attitudes. If you get educated on the data and the effects it has on you disease-wise, and social-economic wise, the impact it has on society, it's in every aspect of what we do here. We've got to change the attitudes on it and the way you do that is at the local level."

Saw from the Volunteer page that there's a Training Tri on July 1, but haven't seen it posted anywhere else. Anyone know if this is moving forward?
We are working on securing a new location for our club's training triathlons for July and all future club training races. A new date has not been set yet for the July race however as soon as we determine a new date and location, it will be communicated.
Thanks for your patience!
President, DC Tri Club
Just got some new gear, looking forward to testing it out when this gets planned. Thanks for he update.
Why the new venue? NPS hassles? DC Haines Point Pool issue?
DPR will no longer issue a pool permits for use of the pool at East Potomac Park. That coupled with all of the NPS hassle and the fact that we have outgrown that venue means it was time to find something new. We are working hard at finding a new location however as of today do not have anything firmed up yet. We are working leads on locations in DC, Maryland as well as Virginia. We'll keep everyone updated as progress continues.
President, DC Tri Club
We continue to work to identify a new location for Club Training Tris. We are aiming to secure a location to be able to hold a Club Race Aug 11 or 12, but this remains a work a progess.
In the meantime, there are two events this weekend to consider as preparation for race conditions and your goal race:
July 29: HarborFest open water swims. These are training swims under race-like conditions at National Harbor. Click on DC Tri logo for discounted registration: http://harborfestswim.com/
July 29: Fairland Aquatic Center Sprint Triathlon. This a Maryland Triathlon Series event (which means a DC Tri member discount). It's a small race with a pool swim and designed for for beginners. Use this as a training tri and opportunity for a test run before your goal race. http://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_detail&eventID=2073.
DC Tri Discount at http://www.dctriclub.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Race.Race_Discounts.
Just a FYI - the Fairland Aquatic Center Sprint Triathlon has now been changed to a swim & run only event. Prince George's County didn't approve the bike course.

The Knight Errant's Adventure in the Palace
Cho Ba-tin is a domineering general in State whose achievements overshadow the king's. Returned from a victorious war in the south, he forces the king to make him prince and demands to marry Princess King-fa. Having always disliked Ba-tin, the princess refuses to meet with him and instead goes sightseeing in the country with her maid Chun-fa. The princess and maid meet a bandit on the way but are saved by knight errant Cheung Kim-chow. The princess and Cheung fall in love at first sight. Ba-tin witnesses their romance and becomes jealous.
Missing the princess, Cheung sneaks into the palace to meet her, aided by his servant Fok. The lovers exchange sweet words and decide they cannot bear to part. Ba-tin orders his troops to besiege the palace, captures Cheung, and confines him in a secret chamber. The general also threatens to kill Cheung if the princess does not marry him within ten days.
Cheung dresses as a maid and sneaks into the palace after heroes from the mountains have saved him. Pleased to see that the princess is steadfast in her love, Cheung vows to capture Ba-tin. When lifting the veil of his bride on the wedding day, Ba-tin finds himself staring at the male servant. Cheung arrives with the heroes from the mountains and engages in a fierce battle with Ba-tin and his troops. Ba-tin is finally beaten, and Cheung marries the princess.

Three Glimpses of the Princess Liu Jinding
Lau Gum-ding fought victorious battles and was honoured with the title "Princess". She wished to make offerings at the temple and her father, Lau Tin-fa, asked for a royal decree prohibiting anyone from looking at his daughter. The son of the Prime Minister, Fung Ka-jun, dressed as a villager to make his way into the temple and was caught on the spot but Gum-ding pardoned him. His father made a marriage proposal for him to Gum-ding's father but was rejected due to his low social ranking. Gum-ding became lovesick and nobody could cure her, so Tin-fa asked for a royal decree to search for the best doctor in the kingdom. Ka-jun posed as a doctor and entered the princess' chamber alone. He was caught by the handmaidens but Gum-ding was deeply touched by his love and agreed to marry him. She gave him the "pair pens" as their love token. Tin-fa asked the emperor to punish Ka-jun's crime, and so he was brought to trial in the palace. The emperor tested Ka-jun's talents and everyone was impressed. Finally, the lovers were granted a royal marriage

Red Cherries and a Broken Heart
Famous musician Chiu Chu-Kei is widowed early in life. He raises his son, Kai-chu, alone. One day, he meets an abandoned woman, Tao-hung, and finds that she has a good singing voice and is quite talented. Tao-hung soon becomes famous thanks to Chiu's care and his teaching in literature, etiquette, music and performing art. A year later, the woman encounters her ex-husband, Kwei-fun. Moved by his love and her father's persuasion, Tao-hung returns to her husband.
Shocked by a sense of betrayal, Chiu spits blood. On his deathbed, he entrusts his son to Tao-hung, who promises to bring the son up as a successful musician. Many years pass, and the son's musical skills do not improve. He has not inherited any gift of musical talent from his father, and he often performed with stand-in doubles. Grieved by her futile efforts, Tao-hung commits suicide, leaving behind a letter empty except for sprinkles of blood in the shape of cherry petals

DETROIT – It was a mismatch on paper, and looked like it was heading that way after about 11 minutes on the ice.
But the undermanned Detroit Red Wings showed much character and resilience Wednesday against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks, battling back from an early two-goal deficit.
The Red Wings surrendered the lead in the third period but battled back to win 5-4 in an extended shootout at Joe Louis Arena.
Darren Helm's goal in the sixth round of the shootout was the winner. Patrick Eaves and Todd Bertuzzi also scored in the shootout for Detroit against Corey Crawford. Jonas Gustavsson sealed it with a save on Andrew Shaw.
"I just feel we played hard," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "It's just the teams we're playing right now are so good, with the (injury-depleted) lineup we have if we're not all in, all dialed in, there's no chance to win. So I thought our guys were really determined."
The Blackhawks (32-8-12) had won seven games in a row against the Red Wings (22-18-10) in the regular season.
"It's always fun to beat those guys," Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey said. "They're obviously the best in the league. Any time you play the best, it's a good measuring stick. I thought we played an all-around great game. That was just a fun game to be part of."
Gustav Nyquist had a goal and an assist. Tomas Tatar, Eaves and Quincey also scored for the Red Wings. Henrik Zetterberg had three assists and Justin Abdelkader contributed a pair of assists.
Gustavsson made 31 saves in his first appearance since Dec. 28, when he hurt his groin in a win at Florida. He was starting in place of the injured Jimmy Howard (knee, out at least one week).
"We had a lot of energy and finally had some bounces with us," Gustavsson said. "They had some bounces as well. It must have been a fun game to watch, a lot of goals."
It was the first of only two meetings between the former Central Division rivals, their first meeting since Chicago's 2-1 overtime victory in Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs last spring.
"You know the other team is going to be excited when you play them in their building," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "We had a great Round 2 series with them.
"You knew they were going to be excited about the challenge, and the guys that have been up from Grand Rapids work hard. They've got some skill and their relentless and they play the way the other guys play. It was workmanlike on their side and not so much on ours."
Marcus Kruger tied it at 4-4 at 5:12 of the third period, snapping a wrist shot that deflected in off the left goal post. Brendan Smith's errant pass went right onto Kruger's stick.
Goals by Quincey and Nyquist gave the Red Wings a 4-3 lead in the second period.
Nyquist notched his seventh goal of the season at 11:14 to snap a 3-3 tie. He converted a pass from Zetterberg.
Quincey had tied it at 6:20 by firing in a shot from the high slot during a rush. It was his third goal.
Earlier, Patrick Sharp put the Blackhawks ahead 3-2 at 5:03, just six seconds into a power play. Sharp blasted in a shot from the point while Shaw screened Gustavsson.
The Red Wings appeared on the verge of being blown out after Marian Hossa and Shaw scored 1:46 apart midway through the first period.
But they battled back to tie it on goals by Tatar and Eaves.
Tatar notched his 11th goal of the season at 11:14, firing in a rebound from close range. Good work in the corner and along the boards by Tatar and Tomas Jurco set up a point shot from Smith.
Eaves scored his second goal of the season at 17:40, roofing a shot from close to the same spot as Tatar's goal. Abdelkader made a terrific sliding kick pass to Eaves with his left leg after having his stick knocked out of his hands.
"I got my stick slashed out of my hands and I knew Patty was down there and I needed to get it to him," Abdelkader said. "You can't hand pass the puck and I didn't have my stick so it was kind of a slide tackle move, kind of kick and got it to him. Anytime Patty Eaves gets alone in front he's going to score more often than not."
Said Eaves: "He made a great pass with his foot; he lost his stick and he never gave up. It was right on my forehand, it was perfect."
It was a tough start for Gustavsson.
Hossa scored his 21st goal at 8:41. Jonathan Toews pass went in off Hossa's shin pad.
Shaw made it 2-0 at 10:27, chipping in a backhand from the net-front while fighting off a check from Todd Bertuzzi. It happened during a scramble around the net as Gustavsson seemed to lose track of the puck and his teammates couldn't corral the rebound.
"We weren't playing bad at all, that was the big thing, so we just stuck with the plan," Eaves said. "Tatar got us on the board. That was huge for us to get that goal. If they would have went up 3-0 that would have been a different story. We needed those two points."
