Brewers make offer to Hinske
I just spoke with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin and he said he has made an offer to free-agent outfielder Eric Hinske and is waiting to hear back from him.
"It's his call, not ours," said Melvin. "We're waiting to hear back from him."
Hinske, 33, played for the Braves last season, batting .256 with 11 homers and 51 RBI in 281 at-bats. He can play the corner outfield as well as the corner infield, so he's a versatile player.
Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports tweeted Monday that the Brewers and Braves were out front in pursuing Hinske. The Braves reportedly offered a one-year deal at $1.5 million to keep Hinske and he was looking for a two-year deal.
I asked Melvin if he thought it was between the Brewers and Braves and he said, "That probably makes sense. It's a decision he's got to make."
Melvin said he'd like to have Hinske on his bench as a power option.
"We had a good bench last year but they were mostly singles hitters," said Melvin. "We didn't really have a threat to knock one out of the park."
Speaking of his bench, Melvin said he has an offer in to veteran infielder Craig Counsell and is waiting to hear back. Counsell, 40, became a free agent after the season but is still a good fit on the Brewers' roster.
Melvin said he has an offer in to another of his free agents, lefty Chris Capuano. Capuano pitched well in September last season after returning from a two-year absence after Tommy John surgery and probably has been offered an incentive-laden deal.

About PugetSoundPost
Weather has been a lifelong passion for me; while my husband and 4 kids, all grown, and one of them now married, have patiently gone along with me!
By: PugetSoundPost, 5:39 PM GMT on February 25, 2010
The sun is out again this morning but overall the week hasn't been as sunny as recent weeks. We've received .23" rain spread over time since Tuesday, so more clouds have been around. But, not much rain has been produced - a few light rain episodes now and then. We are clearing as some high pressure builds this morning, after some overnight light rain, but the sunshine won't last too long. Another stronger system is incoming from the Pacific and will spread rain into interior western Washington overnight tonight, with breezier winds expected as well. Rain will continue through Friday and maybe into Saturday, when high pressure again builds creating a sunnier and a bit warmer end to the weekend. The jet will continue to shoot into California, so only weak systems may reach the region next week, with weak chances of showers.
I saw in today's newspaper that the daffodil picking season is in full swing up in Skagit County already and has been for the last couple of weeks! This is very early, although perhaps not a surprise, by what we see blooming in people's yards. By the time spring does officially arrive, it will be over with many spring delights already bloomed out, I am afraid!

February 23
After many days of sun and blue sky, things have changed this morning. Clouds are on the increase and rain is on the way, although only possible sprinkles during the day today with "light rain" this evening. A stronger system is due Thursday-Friday, but that doesn't look like it will bring too much rain either. The jet stream is too far south for us to feel much energy from any system for the next week or so again. Since I last wrote our highs have been consistently 59/60 with a lot of sunshine, but the clear skies also brought cool mornings, with the lowest at 30 during that stretch. Yesterday I pruned our roses and got outside in the yard for the first real time this season, although it didn't last too long. Just a warm up for the work that is ahead in the yard!
February 18, 10:15 AM
Blue skies are dominating the weather here! We had some frost this morning (low was 30), but very clear and blue, with high pressure mowing a big swath around the Northwest! Spring is very much on the horizon and signs are everywhere. The crocus and heather are blooming and even some daffodils are showing their bright yellow faces, and some pink cherry blossoms are adding color too, with many other plants budding. I hear lawn mowers roaring once in a while, although they are probably just trimming up ragged winter edges. Yesterday's high was only 52, in spite of the bright sunshine, as the northerly flow was holding down the temperature a little. Today should be warmer and the next few days look equally bright!
Feb. 15
Fog overnight and into this morning has dissipated into sunshine now by midmorning, but already the sun does not appear as bright as it did an hour or so ago. Some stratus is sneaking in above us, but for now it is mostly sunny. The clouds will slowly continue to develop as the last rain system for awhile is poised to slide in over us, bringing rain up from the SW that should begin this evening in our area and linger into Tuesday.
After this rain, which is expected to be pretty typical in intensity, another blocking ridge sets up offshore along the west coast, but our flow aloft will turn NE, and bring down cooler, and drier air for the rest of the week, with the cooler air filtering in from the Canadian interior. More sunshine is expected and clearer nights. Even yesterday's forecast expected rather warm days by the end of the week, but now that has faded into a cooler pattern, which brings us back down to actually more seasonable temperatures, which have been a rarity this winter. There will be some additional warming with surface offshore downslope flow (off the Cascades) later this week that will give us a little bump up, but it does not appear to make a lot of difference.

The rain has stayed with us since it began on the 10th, but alas, not much has really been recorded. So far for the entire month we only have 1.31". But, this little spell of weather we would more expect for Feb. has provided rain, although generally light, for a large percentage of the time, in passing systems, and it has remained overcast probably pretty much all of the time. Saturday's high was 53, the low was 42, high wind gust was 18 mph and total rain was .13". So drippy and gray have been the norm very lately. Rain will continue until about Wednesday when we break back out into sunnier and warmer weather.
Feb. 10, 10:40 pm
The rain did come as scheduled today and a much different day than we have been used to. The high was only 43, cloudy and drippy since about noon, but the rain has only totaled .11" so far.
February 10:
Finally, after a few weeks of living in the west coast shadowlands, our weather pattern is making a shift beginning today. The jet stream has consolidated again, after weeks of split flow, and is aiming now much closer to home than it has much of this year so far. Already clouds are on the increase, after another foggy start this morning, and rain is expected to move across western Washington by midday today. Amounts will not be too impressive, but rain is nevertheless making a comeback. And, rather than one minor and dying system barely slipping through the bonds of high pressure and splitting flow, like we have occasionally had over the last few weeks, this front today is just the beginning of a succession of seemingly alternating warm/cold/warm/cold fronts expected to parade by through early next week, with only a few hours break inbetween. Earlier this week the forecast was highlighting possible heavier rains, especially by the weekend, but now the NWS has scaled back the intensity of the systems and none look too potent, but some look a little stronger than others. The winds will vary up and down, also depending on the strength of each incoming system and the exact track they take. So, the Big Picture is that a definite change is occuring and the weather will look much different than it has for so long - back to rain each day, clouds, breezy winds, and the Look of Winter in the Pacific Northwest.
This morning our low was 31, giving a little nip to all the early bloomers out there in yards. I've seen some blooming daffodils already, along with a few trees and shrubs bringing out their pink finery in time for Valentine's Day coming soon!

Dense fog this morning and a windshield scraping 34 degrees currently. The fog should gradually burn off for some sun today, and this would be the end of the sunny days for this week.
February 8, 10:15 pm
Another calm and mostly sunny day today, but the end may be in sight for this pattern; at least for the time being. The high today was 56, low this morning dipped to 39, and a tad more breeze to hit 10 mph. I was driving early into Seattle this morning and it was another very lovely morning crossing Lake Washington. I wished I had my camera and time to stop as the photo ops were plentiful in the early morning light over the glassy lake and shoreline features, both urban and natural - including a resident bald eagle sitting atop a light pole over the middle of the 520 bridge lanes. Now tonight we have a chance for fog to form and I think I see some very light fog in the valley below us.
It looks like the pattern will finally make a change by midweek, with the jet strengethening and aiming closer to the PNW, bringing more and stronger systems much nearer to us. Rain could be on the way for Wednesday and more coming after that to finish the week. For now high pressure aloft will give us another dry and mostly sunny day on Tuesday, and the last one for awhile.
February 7, 11:00 pm
The quiet weather is continuing. Spring seems to be making brief cameo appearances rather than winter. The high temperature on Saturday was 62 and people seemed to be enjoying the sun and warmest day of the season so far! The air had an early spring feel to it. But, it didn't really last too long, as by evening rain had moved in and persisted on and off lightly until this morning. The clouds stayed around all day today and the high was markedly cooler - only 52. Our high wind today was 4 mph - so the weather is dull and calm in all respects right now. This should continue a little longer, but it looks like a pattern change may be beginning to stir by later this week and that sounds fine.
February 4, 8:00 AM
A pretty sky this morning, and an interesting one. As I look east out the window and toward the north, clear skies as we wait for the sun to crest the Cascades. But, on an east-west line pretty even with our house, there is the edge of the cloud deck as it marches up from the south. So, a distinct border dividing the north and south with clear skies north versus high level, somewhat broken but darkening cloud deck to the south. Rain is expected later today from another weakening and splitting front moving into the area. We had more rain yesterday than I expected - .18" from the system, and at times while driving around in the afternoon it reminded me of some of the old days with real rain necessitating the need for window wipers to run more constantly! Today and Friday will probably see some rain and also again on Saturday with another weakening and splitting front moving in, and after that a ridge rebuilds for drier weather early next week. It is currently 44 and it will land somewhere in the 50's before we are done; but on a little more interesting note, the wind may pick up to be rather breezy by this afternoon, so that is something to watch for.
February 1:
February has arrived and the mild and, let's face it, boring weather of January is set to continue for the foreseeable future. As I write, clouds are thickening and the overcast is lowering - heralding the arrival of a weak disturbance that should likely give gentle rain over much of western Washington as the evening and night progress. A very few sprinkles passed over a little while ago. The basic forecast for the coming week is a succession of weak troughs and weak ridges, with weak chances of light rain every other day or so; and temperatures will remain mild with very calm or no breezes. The splitting jet is leaving us right in the middle of no-mans land without much chance of any action. The southern branch will shoot systems into California and the northern branch is sending other systems north into the Alaska panhandle. Soooo, here we are enjoying very non-descript weather that is making me anxious to move on leaving our no-show winter behind.
Here are monthly stats for January:
Average High for the month: 52.2
Average Low for the month: 41.3
Highest temperature of the month: 60.9 recorded 1/21
Lowest temperature of the month: 33.0 recorded 1/16
Highest wind for the month: 32 mph on 1/18
Rainiest Day: .88" on 1/8
Total rain for January: 5.61" (majority fell in the first two weeks of January)

This black forest cake version is completely vegan, whole grain, and can be made sugar-free. It's much more nutritious than the original version, filled with refined sugar, butter, and white flour. Just one slice contains almost a half of the daily recommended intake for fiber and around 25 percent of your iron, magnesium, and phosphorus needs per day! The cake is also a source of high quality carbohydrates and healthy fats from the avocado and chia seeds, as well as a surprisingly high amount of protein. You can even eat a slice for breakfast and feel good about it. And the best part? It doesn't taste healthy at all!
Black Forest Cake [Vegan]
This Recipe is :
Cook Time45
For the cake:
- 4 and ½ cup whole grain spelt flour (or whole wheat)
- 2 cups xylitol, erythritol or unrefined sugar (or a combination)
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup applesauce
- ⅔ cup canola or melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 cups filtered water
For the filling:
- 2 cups sour cherries (fresh, frozen or canned)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup cherry juice or the canning liquid if using canned sour cherries
- ¼ to ½ cup date syrup or other sweetener (adjust to taste)
For the frosting:
- 1 avocado
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 5 tablespoons date syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Mix the dry ingredients for the cake in a large bowl.
- Add wet and mix until combined.
- Pour in two 8-inch pans lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 (180 Celsius) for about 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
- Let cool completely.
- In the meantime, combine all the ingredient for the filling in a medium bowl and let sit until thickened (about 10 minutes).
- Add all ingredients for the frosting in a food processor and pulse until super smooth. Make sure the coconut oil is warm enough so that it blends in well with the other ingredients.
- Layer the cake with the filling and cover with frosting.
- Refrigerate until the frosting hardens a bit.
- Decorate with dried cherries and cacao nibs if you like.
- Let the cake cool completely, preferably overnight, before tasting. It will become much sweeter as it cools and the flavors will combine nicely.
- Enjoy!

Biotechnology stocks have produced big gains in recent years. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (NASDAQ:IBB) is up 25% since last February. Biotech stocks with small market capitalizations are generally assumed to be speculative investments, so there is the potential for big gains because of their small size. SciClone Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SCLN) is one such small cap biotech that is poised for big gains. The one year target estimate is 9.13, which represents a 80% gain from current levels. According to the company's website SciClone is a,
US-based, China-focused specialty pharmaceutical company with a substantial revenue-generating and profitable commercial business and a broad, marketed product portfolio of differentiated therapies for oncology, infectious diseases and cardiovascular, urological, respiratory, and central nervous system disorders."
As stated in the above quotation, SciClone is a U.S. based company that is China centric. The stock provides the big potential that comes with owning Chinese stocks, but it isn't as risky as many Chinese stocks because it is based in the U.S. The company has huge growth potential because of China's large population. SciClone CEO Friedhelm Blobel announced in the Q3 2012 conference call that demand for Chinese pharmaceutical products is expected to grow at a rate of 15%, which SciClone will benefit from. The company has a substantial international business and it has a diversified portfolio of products. Zadaxin, a SciClone product, is approved in over 30 countries and it can used to treat hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and certain cancers. Zadaxin is the SciClone's lead product grew 12% from Q3 2011 to Q3 2012. SciClone has about 14 mostly patterned products in China besides Zadaxin. SciClone also markets Ambien in the U.S., which is a fast acting treatment of insomnia. The company executives are also very experienced and the CEO, Friedhelm Blobel, has worked in the biotech industry for decades.
|Market Cap
|1 Yr. Target Estimate
|Forward P/E
|Debt to Equity
|Leveraged FCF
Source: data from Yahoo! Finance
The stock has solid fundamentals and it is considerably less risky than many small capitalization biotech stock. It's P/E is 16.11 and the forward P/E ratio is 7.83. Despite the company's small market capitalization, the stock really isn't that risky. For the third quarter revenues for its flagship product Zadaxin increased to 12% to 31.2 million, compared to revenues of the same period of the prior year of $27.9 million. The company has also increased in its free cash flow to 19 million and the free cash flow was only 9 million at the start of 2012 as shown in the chart below. The debt to equity ratio for this stock is currently 0. The leveraged free cash flow is 55.90 million. As shown in the graph below, revenue is at 5 year highs. Unlike many small biotech companies, SciClone is a revenue producing company.
Source: charts from Y Charts
The biggest downside to this stock is the lack of a dividend. Another downside is that SciClone does believe that revenue for its flagship product will decrease eventually due to competitive pressures. However, this is not a serious concern because the company will likely offset any lost revenue with new products.
Chinese stocks are poised to boom this year. Uncertainty due to a once in decade leadership transition held back many China related stocks in 2012. However, many China related stocks have soared since the leadership transition and the Chinese economy is still booming. SciClone's stock is in a good position to make big gains in 2013 because it has a high growth rate and because of its dominance in the Chinese market.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in SCLN over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it. I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
For the last several years, one of my favorite bands has been Cloud Cult. Their upbeat lyrics and peppy melodies belie a darker past, one characterized by the sudden death of the lead singer's very young son. Since that time, much of what Cloud Cult has sung about is this loss and what comes after. As I read Emily Rapp's shattering new memoir, The Still Point of the Turning World, I was reminded of Cloud Cult, and marveled again at the desire - bordering on compulsion - of so many artists to record this experience of grief and loss, not to capitalize on it but because they have no choice.
When Rapp's son Ronan began missing his developmental milestones shortly after his six-month birthday, Rapp and her husband took him to an ophthalmologist who confirmed their worst fears - Ronan had Tay-Sachs disease, a genetic enzyme deficiency with no known cure and the prognosis of rapid ...

Chelsea Makes Terry Wait on Contract, Telegraph Says: Roundup
The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers, with clickable links to the web.
Captain Waits
Chelsea will make captain John Terry wait until after the season before opening talks on extending his contract, which runs out in 18 months, the Daily Telegraph said.
The 32-year-old defender's season has been disrupted by a four-match suspension for racially abusing an opponent and by a knee injury, and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reviewing older players' contracts on an individual basis, the newspaper said.
Chelsea players over 30 are being offered one-year extensions, and it's unlikely that Terry will be treated differently, the newspaper said.
Wanyama Wanted
Arsenal is considering a bid for Celtic midfielder Victo Wanyama, who may cost more than 10 million pounds ($15.9 million), the Independent said.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is looking to rebalance the midfield after the sale of Alex Song to Barcelona, the newspaper said. The coach is attracted by the low wages paid to Wanyama, 21, who has declined to extend his contract beyond 2015 with Celtic, the Independent said.
QPR Shopping
West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie is demanding his club allow him to start talks with Queens Park Rangers, who have offered the 31-year-old an increase on his 40,000-pound-a-week pay as well as a bonus should the London team remain in the Premier League, the Daily Mirror said.
Odemwingie may put in a transfer request should West Brom stop him from talking to QPR, the newspaper said.
Goalkeeper Hunt
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is looking for a new goalkeeper after becoming frustrated by David de Gea's mistakes, the Telegraph said.
The 22-year-old let up a goal in injury time at Tottenham that allowed Spurs to tie the match at 1-1 last weekend. While Ferguson has considered other Premier League players, including Stoke's Asmir Begovic, the coach will look at Barcelona's Victor Valdes, who has declined to sign an extension with the Spanish club, the newspaper said.
Mario's Staying
Manchester City won't sell striker Mario Balotelli to AC Milan during the January transfer window, his agent said, according to the Daily Mail.
Balotelli's agent, Mino Raiola, said the defending champions don't want to sell the Italian, and said the striker might choose "a different destination," the newspaper said.

LEIGH WIENER was a prolific and accomplishad photo-journalist whose portraits gained him a significant reputation in photography circles.
Wiener was based in California and over a 40-year period his work appeared in many journals and newspapers, including Life, Paris Match, Los Angeles Times, and Saturday Evening Post. In the public mind he was never ranked amongst the world greats, like contemporaries such as Alfred Eisenstadt or Arnold Newman, but the consistency and perceptiveness of his work placed him within an important movement in photographic history. His early death, at the age of 62, came at a point when he was beginning to have retrospective exhibitions in the United States, and as the increasing historical interest in the early 1960s drew attention to his considerable work of the period.
From the age of 14 when he made his first sale, Wiener was involved in photography. His first professional position was as a staff photographer with the Los Angeles Times, from 1955 to 1958, and later as a freelancer distributing his own images. Later he branched out into film and television, producing mostly corporate work, and in 1975 drew back to his photographic roots to create, produce and co-present an Emmy Award winning television series Talk about Pictures. This programme made him a nationally recognisable figure in the United States, and in it Wiener interviewed photographers like Ansel Adams about their work and discussed the role of the still photographer in today's society. More recently, Wiener lectured in photography at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Wiener's work embodied the prevailing taste in photographic portraiture in the post-war decades, which was to capture the personality at a spontaneous and revealing moment through their expression, gestures and situation. 'Leigh Wiener is at grips with action,' noted Camera International magazine. 'His photos stop the image in the manner of a moving-picture camera.' Wiener had a talent for working in naturalistic situations, treating a domestic setting or a workplace as though it were a studio, focusing all the attention of the image on the subject. Often he would use available light, rather than flash, to very dramatic effect.
Early on in his career Wiener developed a reputation for taking documentary style portraits and an ability to handle a wide range of subjects. Many of his most memorable images were of show business celebrities, such as Billie Holiday, Judy Garland and Duke Ellington, usually shot backstage, in rehearsal or preparing for a performance. His noted political assignments included photographing John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1960, Robert Kennedy in 1963, and the visit of Pope John Paul II to Los Angeles in 1987.
One of his earliest assignments was to photograph the atomic bomb tests on the Nevada desert flats in 1958. The exposure to radiation he sustained there was the probable cause of the blood disease Sweet's syndronne, which led to his death.

Datça to Marmaris.
Just a short haul. 1.5 hours. A low coastline drive until its not. Pine trees and beehives by the dozens. Roads a bit steep in places but the driver, who looks like the character Louis Litt from 'Suits' and is just as anal - drives with great care, always confidence inspiring.

Mamaris the Turkish Riviera
Our Captain described Mamaris as having one of the seven best natural harbours in the world. He was right - a circular enclosed bay, surrounded by treed mountains, a fjord. Due to its beauty, and sheltered anchorage, it is the winter home for many Mediterranean sailing ships. Beautiful sailboats from all over the world, plus many mahogany sailboats in the Turkish style (high pointed bows). It reminded us of the Cook Straight in NZ as you enter South Island and sail along ...

text: SO today I decided to go to my LFS to find a new bottom feeder for my 33gallon angel fish tank. I wanted some clownfish loaches but then decided against them given their adult size... I then looked at some panda cories (which I ended up getting two of).. and as I was walking out I saw these adorable little flounders living in a regular tank with regular gravel and gouramis. I had never seen them before and was totally in love with them. The people at the store have always been knowledgeable about the fish so I decided (against my best judgment) to listen to their advice. I was told that the flounder would do fine in 75-80 degree water and would have no issues with my angels. I asked everything I could think of only to find out once I got home that the flounder prefers brackish water, thinner sand, and is a carnivore! I will go to the store immediately tomorrow morning to buy bloodworms for it.... What else can I do to make it happy in my tank? Would it be advisable to return him? I don't want to make the fish suffer unnecessarily and I want to give it a good home. Right now it's just swimming around the water and close to the air bubbles instead of being at the bottom. The panda's are just swimming all over the place, but I read that is supposed to be normal. Any feedback would be of great help. I have never had much luck with bottom feeders!

He said it: Players and coaches comment after Columbus takes a 3-1 win over Stars in Rich Peverley makeup game
Courtesy of Stars' PR Department:
Stars Head Coach Lindy Ruff (http://bit.ly/R4pJra):
On the team's performance:
"When you give up that early goal it took a little bit of life out of our building. That's a tough way to start a game. We knew that we were going to have to manage our ice time and our play but that was a tough start."
On the play of goalie Tim Thomas:
"The third goal was one of those that you don't want to see go in. Tim would want that one back, those hurt you. I thought he made a couple of good saves in the second period keeping the game where I thought we were still within reach. It's not easy to adjust to sitting that long and then going in and playing. That's a hard role for anybody and a role he's never had. It would have been nice to see that third goal stopped get stopped, but it didn't. We made enough mistakes around him early on that I would have liked to see cleaned up."
On pulling the goalie with over four minutes to play:
"I broke my old record by a couple of minutes. I just thought it was time to create some energy and some desperation. I thought we got the energy and got a couple of great looks afterwards. We put a little scare into them."
On the status of Trevor Daley:
"I haven't seen him yet, but obviously he came back. It looked like he got cut on the face. That was great to see him come back as he's been a big part of our success."
On the team's playoff hopes:
"I'm optimistic. We've gone through one hell of a tough part of the schedule. To play four games in five nights is not something you'd do normally in this league. We had an abnormal event happen and we were pushed into it. We came off a five-game road trip but we summoned enough energy to win a game the other night. I thought the guys could have laid down in the third but they gave it everything they had to try to get back in the game. I haven't had to stand here this year and say Wow, did we get flat-out outplayed the whole game. There's something about this team. I love the way they fight. I love the way they come to practice. I love the battle we've had down the stretch. There was a time when we went through that tough section in January when they could have gone away but nobody did. I'm very optimistic. We win two games and we're in."
Stars forward Jamie Benn (http://bit.ly/OGA0b6):
On the play early in the game:
"We fell behind before the game even started and that didn't help, but we're not making any excuses. You know, tough break on the first goal and then they capitalized on their powerplay and we just couldn't find it tonight."
On pulling the goaltender in the third to give the team some energy:
"We're playing to win these games and we needed to score three goals to at least get a point, so why not go for it?"
On playing better in the third period:
"We wanted to leave it all out there. We played a lot of hockey and we didn't get the result we wanted but we're still in this. We still have two games left and it is still up to us."
On goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's play tonight:
"I thought their team played pretty good. They play a pretty tight defensive game, you don't really get much and he made some pretty big saves in net tonight to seal the deal for them."
On the mindset going into a game down a goal:
"Not really. We prepared for it like we do every game. We just came out with a bit of a slow start and it cost us in the end."
Stars forward Alex Chiasson (http://bit.ly/1esDO6F):
On how tough it is going into the game down 1-0:
"It's tough. I think our goal is to try and get back and tie it 1-1 as early as we could, but we got down a couple goals. That was a tough stretch for us 4 [games] in 5 [days]. I think we looked a little fatigued out there today. We've got two games and have our own destiny in our hands, we just got to rest up here, and we've worked too hard this year to call it and rest up here and give it all we got on Friday andSunday."
On pulling the goalie in the third period power play to create a two-man advantage:
"I thought it was a good move. We had a pretty good third period there, we generated a lot of chances and couldn't capitalize on a couple but it would've been nice if we just down one. But like I said, we got to put this one behind us, keep our heads up and look forward to Friday andSunday."
On overcoming fatigue:
"Its eighty-two games in a season and it's kind of my first time that I've played this much hockey. Personally, these last couple games are the ones that really mean something. Sometimes you look back to a game in November and wish you had that one back, but now we're towards the end and this is the last stretch these two games. We have to put everything we've done so far behind us, just keep our heads up and look forward to Friday and Sunday."
Stars goaltender Tim Thomas (http://bit.ly/1qugZF0):
On the slow start:
"That's a tough hill to climb when you're already starting down 1-0, and to get a bad bounce like that is tough. But having said that, it's what we had to deal with and then we had another bad bounce on the third goal off of the stick so we we're down 3-0. I think we did a good job trying to battle back and get back into the game."
On being pulled early for the extra attacker:
"I think that was a really good call; it was a really good move. It's thinking outside the box. At that time, what other chance did we have to get back into the game? Being 3-1 with 10 minutes left certainly gave us a chance all the way through the end, and if we score one with a 1:30left, then all of a sudden it's 3-2, so I thought that was a good call."
On playing for the first time in a while:
"Well the first period, there was a few that I fought off some rebounds. But I think as the game went on I settled in and got used to a game with more traffic than you will generally see in practice, and there's more types of plays than you will generally see in practice, so all-in-all I didn't feel that bad."
Blue Jackets Head Coach Todd Richards (http://bit.ly/Q7OAcI):
On getting the postseason berth:
"It's hard to think right now. Just because right now I feel fatigue and tired. I think it's just the emotions of everything. The ups and downs we've had over the last, well really all season, but the ups and downs over the last two weeks and it's a great accomplishment for our team, for our guys, but to me again its just the first step. When we set out back in September the first thing we talked about was winning the Stanley Cup, but first you've got to make the playoffs, so this is just the first step and what we need to do now is enjoy it because the guys have earned it and then get ready for Tampa and for me it's always about looking up. We've put ourselves in a position right now where we're even with Detroit but we're ahead of them, we're in the seven spot and we're going to try and move up."
On the late push by Dallas:
"We tried to go in in between the second, we just played in Philly and I like the way we played the third period in Philadelphia and that was kind of the message was that we were just in this position and we've got to go out and play the same way. I think that they started the [third] period on the power play - that backed us up a little bit, that put us on our heels, and you got to give credit to them. They are a talented group, they're a good hockey team, they're well coached. That created some momentum for them, I think it got the crowd going a little bit too and I think it backed us up, put us on our heels a little bit. Bob was great in the third, we had some blocked shots, we had some guys battling and that's what you have to do. We found a way to win the game, it was an important game. I really liked our first period, really liked the way that we played. We went out and played hard, got it up to 3-0 and even the second period we were okay but the third period we were playing that prevent defense that I don't like to see. I'm a football guy and hate prevent defense when a team gets a lead and we played a little bit of that in the third."
On starting the game up 1-0:
"Well the only thing that was weird about it was looking up at the scoreboard in warm-ups and we had a 1-0 lead. That'll be something that I'll remember, but once we got into the game I had to remind myself when we scored the first goal that we were up 2-0, not just 1-0."
On if he said anything to the team about starting up 1-0:
"Well if you are scoreboard watching, to me, that affects how you play. We want our focus to be on the process of shift in and shift out and doing the right things. And when you do that, generally the scoreboard takes care of itself."
Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky (http://bit.ly/1ecbieG):
On the game tonight:
"Yeah, they pretty much threw the kitchen sink at us. They pulled the goalie with 12 minutes left and were able to capitalize there on the power play. They just kept coming and coming and our guys just stuck together. Stuck with it the way we have all season long and it was huge that we got the early lead and we were able to sustain it throughout the game."
On the two early goals:
"Yeah, it certainly helps. It can be a little bit evil too, obviously, as you said in the third we were a bit on our heels, which isn't always the way we want to do things. But the guys, like I said, stuck together and Bob [Sergei Bobrovsky] made key saves. Guys sacrificed their bodies and blocked shots. We did everything we needed to do to find a way to get two points and into the postseason."
On getting back into the postseason:
"It's a great feeling. You play this game for the opportunity to win the Stanley Cup, and we've made the first step towards doing that. Only 16 teams make the dance and we're one of them. The sky's the limit for this group and I think that should be our goal and that will remain our goal. We've got to get in there on a high note and make sure when we get there we are on top of our game."
Blue Jackets forward Jared Boll (http://bit.ly/1kt6dBz):
On making the postseason:
"It's awesome. It's a great feeling. It's been a long time and I'm happy for this team, this organization and the fans. They deserve it. This is just the first step and we still have a long way to go."
On what it means to him and the team:
"Yeah, it's huge. I'm excited right now and it's fun to say we clinched a spot, but there's still some points to be had. We'll enjoy it for a little bit but we'll get back to work pretty soon."
On his contributions to the game tonight:
"Yeah, any way you can contribute I guess that's what you want to do. It's been a long, long year. I'm just happy I'm back and contributing in any way. If it's taking a stick to the face, I'll do it."
On how tough the game was tonight:
"They were hungry for points, too. They are right in it, and we knew they were going to be a hard team to play tonight and they were going to be scratching for every little inch, but we stuck with our game plan and came out with two points."

BofA Pays Montag More Than Moynihan for Third Straight YearHugh Son
Bank of America Corp. co-Chief Operating Officer Thomas K. Montag received a 21 percent raise to $14.5 million for 2012, topping his boss Brian T. Moynihan for the third straight year.
Montag, 56, got a $5.46 million cash bonus for 2012, $8.19 million in restricted stock units and an $850,000 base salary, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based lender said today in a regulatory filing. That compares with the $12 million awarded to Moynihan, 53, giving the chief executive officer a raise of more than 70 percent from 2011.
"This says to everybody that Brian is OK with Tom getting a superior compensation; Montag is doing a great job in a business that's very tough right now," said Jeanne Branthover, managing director at Boyden Global Executive Search Ltd. in New York. "However, Brian is catching up with him in pay as other divisions are starting to recover."
Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. lender, has relied on Montag's investment-banking operations to support the company while Moynihan dealt with struggling consumer units that handle mortgages and credit cards. Montag is the former head of trading at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. who joined Bank of America during its 2009 takeover of Merrill Lynch & Co.
Income at Bank of America's global banking and markets divisions slipped 3.6 percent last year to $6.8 billion as revenues from equities sales and trading dropped 24 percent. Montag contended with "challenging economic periods, delivering solid revenues, while reducing noninterest expense," the lender said in the filing.
Beating CEOs
Moynihan wasn't the only bank CEO who earned less than Montag. JPMorgan Chase & Co. chief Jamie Dimon's pay was cut 50 percent to $11.5 million after a review concluded he bore responsibility for the $6.2 billion "London Whale" trading loss. Morgan Stanley's James Gorman saw his compensation drop 7.1 percent to $9.75 million. Citigroup Inc. gave new CEO Michael Corbat $11.5 million, excluding the value of profit-sharing plans.
David Darnell, the 60-year-old Bank of America co-COO who runs retail banking and wealth management, got a 19 percent raise to $9.5 million in total compensation. Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson, 48, got a 10 percent raise to $11 million. While the lender disclosed the size of executives' restricted-stock grants last month, it didn't release total compensation figures until today.
The annual base salaries of Montag and Darnell for 2013 rose last month to $1 million from $850,000 each, the company said. Moynihan's base salary rose to $1.5 million from $950,000.
SEC Standard
The figures represent what the bank's board decided top executives deserved for their performance last year. Bank of America also released calculations conforming to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission standards that reflect the awards that vested during the year, as well as changes in pension plans and perks such as the use of corporate aircraft.
Under that method, Moynihan's 2012 compensation was $8.3 million, compared with $8.1 million the previous year. Montag received $14.4 million, compared with $14.3 million in 2011. Most of the compensation of top executives is in the form of share units to be paid in the future if they meet performance targets.
Moynihan's use of corporate aircraft was valued at $477,060, while Thompson's was pegged at $5,237.

CTSI-Global is proud to have been recognized by Inbound Logistics as one of the Top 100 Logistics IT Providers for 2016.
Freight audit and pay services may have begun as an import from North America - widely viewed with suspicion in the UK and Europe - but the concept is coming of age on this side of the Pond. Service providers have learned to adapt their products to local conditions, putting a great deal more emphasis on the audit side of the occasion.
"[A]nother eight- to 10-percent savings is possible from benchmarking rates the first year that shippers outsource," according to Ken Hazen, CTSI-Global's President and CEO.
Today, we present to you CIO Review's 20 most promising Logistics Technology Solution Providers of 2015.
"40 to 50 percent of shippers in North America outsource to an FAP provider. While this percentage is lower outside of North America, the number of international companies outsourcing is on the rise," said Kristy Sutton, vice president of freight payment operations, CTSI-Global, referring to freight audit and payment services.
Successfully establishing platforms that meet the need of IT teams and business operations requires having a unified focus in providing solutions for your infrastructure team, development team, and the vertical business functions of the organization.

Subject: Greetings from Switzerland
Date: August 14, 2012 11:53:59 PM GMT+03:00
Geia sou Dimitri,
It was a pleasure to meet you in Paros this summer.
Unfortunately my vacation is over and I'm back in the cold and low windy Switzerland.
I was impressed flying the infinity and riding the oxygen.
I spoke to my friends about this experience and they thought I'm kitting them.
But after watching you on youtube riding in 7-8KN they where impressed to.
We all have already a 17m kite and a lightwind board but now we all want to own the infinity and the oxygen!
I would like to ask you for your best deal if we order 3 packages (Infinity+bar and oxygen).
Notice that we have to sell our almost new stuff that we bough this February.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards

We had this from a customer who we sent a demo Infinity last week..
Got home from an awesome weekend and have to say on Friday I was the only guy going out, kite is just unbelievable in 5mph of wind, to get 8 ft jumps in is ridiculous my only thing is the bar pressure, it was much heavier than I am used to and did struggle after an hr or so, but I did back to back it against a 15mt deluxe flysurfer and totally preferred the Infinity,faster loops like a 12 in my opinion and it created a big stir on the beach when walking out in basically a light breeze!!!

Thousands of parents will miss out on their first choice of primary school this week, with families in the worst affected areas facing a "virtually meaningless" appeals process. Parents will not know whether their four-year-olds will be go to their preferred school until Wednesday, when 600,000 children will be allocated their primary school places.
This is the first time the Government has used a single offer day for primary schools; the Department for Education (DfE) has introduced this to simplify the application process for parents. This week's date has been chosen specifically to give enough time to parents who want to appeal.
Parents who are unhappy with their allocated school can make an appeal to the admission authority, though the timing of the Easter holidays could delay the process for some families.
But for parents living in big cities, such as London or Birmingham, the appeal process will be of little value because of the shortage of school places, according to Labour MP Steve McCabe.
Mr McCabe, a shadow Education spokesman, claims that in major cities "people are almost certainly not going to get their first preference – they will be lucky to get a second or third", adding that "the appeals system is virtually meaningless when you've got a shortage of places on this scale".
He said that there are 40 local authorities across the country that have "more pupils than places", drawing on Labour's own research, which claims that, out of the 131 local authorities that responded to Freedom of Information requests, 32 thought their government funding for additional primary places was not enough to meet the expected demand for the 2015-2016 school year.
The National Audit Office last year stressed the need for the Government to increase funding to grow school capacity when it reported that there would be 240,000 new school places needed in primary schools alone this autumn – 37 per cent of which are in London. It added that the number of infant classes of more than 31 children had doubled since 2007.
Experts say the shortfall is down to a surge in birth rates over the past decade – the biggest since the 1950s – with numbers poised to rise.
The Government is adamant that every child will have a place, as local authorities have a statutory duty to ensure children in their jurisdictions have a school place.
The DfE has "more than doubled to £5bn the funding available to local authorities to create new school places", a spokesman said. "This funding has already led to the creation of 260,000 new school places, all of which are in areas where there is a shortage of places. Our investment in the free schools programme is also seeing seven out of 10 new places created in areas of basic need."
Concern is mounting among local authorities, however, with councillors in Redbridge, Surrey, calling for an increase in investment amid reports that local primary schools are oversubscribed; Churchfields Primary School in South Woodford has 485 students, although its official capacity is 392.
In Croydon, the council has estimated that, if the demand for primary school places hits the highest possible level, it will need an extra 2,500 places by 2016.
But the growing reality for most parents is that they simply "don't have a choice" of primary school for their children, according to the NASUWT teachers union. The general secretary of the union, Chris Keates, said: "Parents usually opt for a local neighbourhood school because, for many families, transporting young children miles to school is neither desirable or, in many cases, affordable or practical."
She claimed the Government's focus on competition and a displacement of funding is now placing parents at a disadvantage in two ways. "Firstly, the coalition Government's obsessive focus on competition between schools enabling parents who do have the time and money to take their children to schools outside their neighbourhood, is displacing local children," she said.
"Secondly, the coalition's failure to support local authorities in proper place planning to meet the rising numbers of primary school age children in local areas, diverting money instead to funding new free schools set up in places whether often they are neither wanted or needed," she added.
It is not only the parents of eager children that are facing a crisis of choice, however. The Local Government Authority (LGA) claims that some primary schools have resorted to turning libraries and music rooms into classrooms, reducing playground space, or expanding classes beyond the statutory limit of 30 children, in a bid to meet growing demand for places.
Councils across the country are now being forced to become innovative with the space they have on offer, too.
Brighton and Hove council is converting a former police station into a junior school, and in East Dulwich, south London, another former police station will undergo a similar makeover – the site has been bought for a new primary school to be ready in September 2015.Reuse content

My name is Jamerax, or at least that's what people call me on the internet. I've been a solid fan of Anime and Manga for a good long while, and the occasional Manhwa, started readin The Gamer, and aside from the painfully slow releases it's got me hooked.
My favorite Anime are as follows, Histories Strongest Deciple: Kenichi, No Game No Life, Beelzebub, Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online. Those are the ones that left the most impression recently at least. I've been watching since DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho's hayday, so I like to think I know my way around a bit. Don't ask me what my favorite manga is, there just far too much to choose from.
This site has been helpfull, if for no other reason than it allows me to list what i've watched and what I want to watch. Helps for looking back too, I always seem to forget names of past good Anime that I wouldn't mind rewatching again.
