Deutsche Bank and UBS Guilty of Fraud, Morgan Stanley Gets FB Penalty
Here's your Cheat Sheet to this week's financial industry business headlines:
On Monday, Sun Life Financial (NYSE:SLF) said that Delaware Life Holdings, which is owned by shareholders of Guggenheim Partners, will acquire Sun Life's domestic annuity unit and certain life insurance divisions for a base price of $1.35 billion as adjusted to reflect the performance of the unit through closing.
UBS (NYSE:UBS) is likely to have to pay a fine of 1.5 billion Swiss francs or $1.63 billion to resolve interest rate rigging charges according to sources on Saturday to Tages-Anzeiger, saying that the bank would concede that 36 traders worldwide manipulated yen Libor between the years 2005 and 2010. A settlement in the amount of 1.5 billion francs would represent the largest ever paid by UBS which is recovering from a $2.3-billion trading fraud by London-based trader Kweku Adoboli for which it was fined $48.36 million in November. This resolution would make UBS the second big bank to be sanctioned for its activities in the Libor scandal as the United Kingdom's Barclays (NYSE:BCS) paid a $450 million fine in June.
JPMorgan Securities (NYSE:JPM) and Bear Stearns & Co were sued Monday by the National Credit Union Administration due to alleged misconduct in the sale of $3.6 billion in mortgage securities to credit unions which subsequently collapsed on losses from the securities. More specifically, the suit claims that Bear Stearns made misrepresentations linked with the underwriting and following sale of mortgage-backed securities to Western Corporate, U.S. Central, Southwest Corporate and Members United Corporate federal credit unions.
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (NYSE:RBS) continued to have no comments Sunday night regarding speculation that the firm will see a fine of £350 million from regulators in both the United States and the United Kingdom for its role in the Libor rate-rigging affair. Reportedly, RBS was nearing a deal that would have regulators fine it more than the £290m hit on its rival Barclays following an admission of its own guilt. RBS Chief Executive Stephen Hester said at the recent pre-close trading update that he hoped there would be news on the subject prior to RBS posting its 2012 results in February.
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), as lead underwriter for Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) initial public offering, will shell out a $5 million penalty to Massachusetts to resolve claims that its bankers improperly influenced its research analysts when the firm went public. William Galvin, the state's chief securities regulator, charged that Morgan Stanley improperly aided Facebook in its disclosure of sensitive financial information selectively, keeping what he calls "an unlevel playing field" between Wall Street and Main Street going.
Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE:RF) and its subsidiaries have been upgraded at Moody's Investors Service from Ba3 to Ba1 for senior debt. The Regions Bank was upgraded to Baa3 from Ba1 for long-term deposits and to Prime-3 from Not-Prime for short-term deposits. The bank's financial strength rating was affirmed at D+ while its baseline credit assessment was elevated to Baa3 from Ba1. Following the rating action which began on October 3rd, the outlook is stable.
Knowledgeable sources say that Symetra Financial (NYSE:SYA) has joined Apollo Global Management to bid for Aviva's United States division and that the parties are in advanced discussions to purchase the unit and could reach a deal within days. Guggenheim Partners, which had previously joined with Apollo to pursue the bid for the Aviva assets, is no longer part of the group.
Two Harbors investment Corp. (AMEX:TWO) on Monday declared a quarterly dividend of 55 cents per share of common stock for the fourth quarter, payable on January 18th to common stockholders of record at the close on December 31st. The dividend is supposed to distribute the remaining REIT taxable income earned during the current year, including taxable income from Two Harbors contribution of its single family residential portfolio to Silver Bay Property Trust Corp. and also from realized gains in the residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio.
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) get the thumbs-up from Meredith Whitney who is currently advising the purchase of banks stocks — quickly — according to CNBC. Whitney successfully called the subprime mortgage crisis and has been bearish on banks for awhile, saying back in the summer that Wall Street would lose some 50,000 jobs in future months. However, things have changed in her eyes as she looks towards March when the Federal Reserve will post the results of its CCAR stress tests which she believes will indicate that the banks are adequately capitalized.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) said Tuesday that Kevin Watters would be appointed chief executive of Mortgage Banking. Prior to this, Watters ran Mortgage Origination and headed Customer Experience across Mortgage Banking, having been with Chase and its predecessor firms for 13 years.
On Tuesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged TheStreet, which operates the website TheStreet.com (NASDAQ:TST), with filing false financial reports throughout the year 2008 by posting revenue from fraudulent transactions at a subsidiary it had bought the previous year. Gregg Alwine and David Barnett, co-presidents of the subsidiary, are alleged to have entered into sham transactions with friendly counterparties that had little or no economic substance.
American International Group (NYSE:AIG) has raised $6.45 billion from the divestiture of its remaining interest in AIA Group, pricing shares in the top half of the range. On Tuesday, AIA reported that AIG sold 1.65 billion shares at HK$30.30 each.
The United States Federal Housing Administration is poised to divest more than 40,000 bad mortgages in 2013, through which to fortify its insurance fund, after conceding that it could require a Treasury Department subsidy for the first time in its 78-year history. Meanwhile, hedge funds and private-equity companies are betting on the delinquent home loans being sold, as the agency steps up debt sales to avert a bailout and deter foreclosures. One in particular, Bayview Financial, a firm backed by The Blackstone Group (NYSE:BX), paid as little as 26 cents on the dollar for the FHA loans at auction.
Annaly Capital Management's (NYSE:NLY) board has declared the fourth quarter 2012 common stock cash dividend of 45 cents per common share, which is payable January 29th, to common shareholders of record on December 28th. The ex-dividend date is December 26th.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and Carlyle Group (NYSE:CG) are among a number of defendants that will go before United States District Judge Edward Harrington in Boston, for what they say are legitimate private-equity practices against investor allegations that buyout firms and their bankers colluded to rig offers on takeovers, according to Bloomberg.
The proposed divestiture of ING Groep's (NYSE:ING) South Korean life insurer, ING Life Insurance, fell through on Tuesday, subsequent to Seoul-based KB Financial Group withdrawing its off of $2.1 billion, saying that the deal was too risky. This development poses a problem to ING, since the terms of its government bailout dictate that it sell off its controlling interests in each of its Asian insurance divisions prior to the end of 2013, and then the remainder by 2016.
American Express Company's (NYSE:AXP) Chief Executive Kenneth Chenault is said to have been approached by officials from the White House as to his possibly joining President Obama's administration in the second term, say inside sources, who think that Obama has not yet settled on a replacement for Timothy Geithner at the Treasury. Chenault is a longtime supporter of the President and could also be headed for the Commerce Depertment, according to the sources.
On Wednesday in Italy, four major banks, including Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) and UBS (NYSE:UBS), were found guilty of fraud in the sale of derivatives contracts to the city of Milano. The landmark decision might pose a precedent for a number of cases which involve other local governments in the country.
Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE:MAIN) will pay a special cash dividend of 35 cents per share in January which is in addition to the firm's regular monthly dividends of 15 cents per share to be paid in January, February and March. A press release describing the payouts was issued Wednesday as a reminder with respect to the January special cash dividend and relevant dates so as to avert potential confusion. This special dividend will be payable to stockholders who buy shares prior to and hold such shares on the January 2nd ex-dividend date.
Oaktree Capital Group (NYSE:OAK) sees its Buy reiterated at Goldman Sachs with its price target elevated from $55.00 to $58.00 in a Wednesday report. Goldman comments that, "OAK announced a $1.26 billion distribution to investors in Opportunities Fund VIIb. Following this distribution, investors would have received their capital and preferred return, implying OAK can now recognize incentive income with incremental distributions in the fund beginning in the first quarter of 2013. As per OAK's European-style waterfall following the $1.26 billion distribution, OAK is entitled to 80 percent of each incremental distribution until the firm has 'caught up' or recognized its portion of incentive income or 20 percent of the total gain since inception."
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) has built up an array of $64 billion worth of mortgages at a minimum six months delinquent but have not yet entered foreclosure, which is more than twice the amount held by its four largest rivals combined. The company's stockpile of troubled loans were obtained in most part from its 2008 purchase of Countrywide Financial, which was at one time the nation's biggest mortgage provider. By comparison, Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC), the largest domestic mortgage servicer, presently has $15.3 billion of such unpaid loans.
First among global investment banks as to market share for 2012, is JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) with 7.6 percent, calculated from preliminary data by Dealogic. However this number is below the 8.1 percent the bank sported in 2011, but it was sufficient for the latest victory over competitors in the fourth consecutive year.
On Wednesday, Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (WMC) said that its board has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 90 cents per share for the fourth quarter, and an additional dividend of 22 cents per share. The firm is making the additional dividend to distribute the estimated undistributed taxable income from 2012 net realized gains, along with other tax adjustments. The dividends are payable on January 29th to common shareholders of record as of December 31st, with an ex-dividend date of December 27th.
MetLife (NYSE:MET) is in advanced discussions to acquire the Chilean pension-management unit of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, which has a market value in excess of $2 billion, according to knowledgeable sources, who added that the deal could still founder.
Barclays (NYSE:BCS) and UBS (NYSE:UBS) could soon see their legal travails intensify if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac follow the advice of an internal report by a federal watchdog that was sent to the mortgage companies' regulator and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The report said that Fannie and Freddie could have lost in excess of $3 billion resulting from the banks' alleged manipulation of a key interest rate. The unpublished report urges the two to consider suing the banks involved in setting the Libor, adding to the mounting legal problems they already face from insurers, cities, investors and lenders over claims linked to the benchmark rate.
Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:PSEC) on Thursday increased total commitments to its five year, $650 million revolving credit facility by $35.0 million to an aggregate of $552.5 million. The facility includes an accordion feature allowing Prospect to accept a total amount of $650 million of revolving commitments which the firm anticipates reaching with additional and existing lenders. The new $35 million commitment is from a new lender, bringing the total number of lenders to seventeen. Prospect Capital holds an investment grade Moody's rating of Aa3.
According to a knowledgeable source, Chief Executive Brian T. Moynihan of Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) blocked a proposal to reduce the main component of pay for most brokers for next year. The defeated plan would have shrank the so-called grid payout for Merrill Lynch financial advisers by two percent.
Coverage of Hartford Financial Services Group (NYSE:HIG) was initiated Thursday by MKM Partners with a Buy and 12-month price target of $28. Shares were up modestly in mid-day trading.
The Pittsburgh-headquartered asset management firm Federated Investors (NYSE:FII) will be added to the S&P MidCap 400 GICS Asset Management & Custody Banks Sub-Industry index at the close on December 31st.
BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) and others may shield their funds from a deluge of money that could gush out of domestic banks when a federal guarantee on bank deposits lapses on around $1.7 trillion in the banks. The worry is that cash pouring into the $2.65 trillion money-fund industry will further depress record low yields and could also close some money-market funds to new investors, say sources to the Wall Street Journal.
Once bitten, twice shy – Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) are not in on the biggest mortgage profits on record, subsequent to their catastrophic losses during the crash of the housing market, that made them wary of new loans. Scott Simon, the mortgage chief at Pacific Investment Management Co., remarked that, "Loans have never been safer, they've never been more profitable. Bank of America is the biggest mystery to us. Now, I get that they got their faces torn off, but this is a different environment."
"London Whale", meet J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), officially, that is. Comptroller Thomas Curry, of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, is poised to take a formal action mandating that the firm remedy its lapses in risk controls which permitted a small group of London traders to amass losses in excess of $6 billion in 2012, according to knowledgeable sources who also believe that the Office, which is the main regulator for J.P. Morgan's deposit-accepting bank, will not initially levy a penalty.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Junior Stephanie Peacock broke her own NCAA, ACC and school record en route to winning the women's 1,650-yard freestyle and leading North Carolina on the final day of the Ohio State Invitational, held at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
Peacock won the 1,650 freestyle in 15:37.06, topping her previous best of 15:38.79, while also setting a new McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion facility record as well as the Ohio State Invitational meet record.
"Overall, this was a great meet for us, and I was very pleased that we swam strong this evening," UNC head coach Rich DeSelm said. "I felt we could've done better this morning, but I'm very pleased to see how enthusiastic the team was about racing tonight and how well we did overall."
Also in the women's 1,650 freestyle, senior Jackie Rudolph joined Peacock in the championship final, placing seventh in 16:27.33. Freshman Emma Nunn swam 16:36.87 to take 11th, and freshman Charlotte Ruby was 25th in 17:09.03.
Junior Cari Blalock claimed Carolina's second gold of the night, winning the 200-yard butterfly in 1:56.63, while senior Katie Nolan finished right behind in second in 1:56.99. Nunna also swam in the "A" finals, taking 10th in 2:01.70. Two freshman swam in the "C" finals of the event, with Kendal Surhoff taking 26th in 2:03.05, and Ruby finished 27th in 3:03.48.
"Cari and Katie's times tonight were two best times for them, and they were two of the best times every swam by UNC women," DeSelm said.
Senior Tom Luchsinger had a strong showing in the men's 200-yard butterfly, placing fifth in 1:45.16. Freshman Ben Colley had a personal-best swim to take 11th in 1:47.43, and freshman Logan Heck finished 24th, also swimming a best time of 1:51.92
The men's 200-yard backstroke included six Tar Heels in finals, with sophomore Patrick Myers and junior Brad Dillon taking fifth (1:45.63) and sixth (1:46.59), respectively in the championship heat. Freshman Matt Kwatyra took 12th in 1:47.94 in the "B" final, and freshman Nic Graesser (21st, 1:46.78), junior Bryce Mendes (28th, 1:53.54) and freshman Mitch DeForest (29th, 1:53.93) added three "C" final swims.
The men's 1,650-yard freestyle was another strong event for UNC. Senior Brett Nagle was fourth in a personal-best 15:07.69, passing his previous top mark of 15:07.96, and junior J.T. Stilley also swam a best 15:16.31, dropping more than five seconds off his previous best of 15:21.84, to take sixth in the event. Three more Tar Heels also swam in the "B" finals of the 1,650 freestyle, as Dan O'Connor finished 11th in 15:27.70, John Paul Gaylor took 12th in 15:32.78, and DeForest was 17th in 15:41.70.
Junior Katie Rechsteiner qualified for the championship final of the women's 200-yard breastroke after swimming a strong 2:14.29 in prelims earlier in the day. Rechsteiner notched 10th in the "A" finals in 2:17.42, as two Carolina freshmen also qualified for finals in the event with Rachel Canty taking 16th in 2:17.17, while Madison Burns finished in 2:18.05 for 21st.
In the men's 200-yard breastroke, freshman Kurt Wohlrab led UNC with a 13th-place personal-best 2:00.90 swim, cutting more than a full second off his previous top time. Sophomore Brian Bollerman was 15th in 2:03.09, and junior Alex Gianino also swam in the "B" finals with a 19th-place finish in 2:04.05.
Junior Carly Smith was the top finisher in the "B" finals of the women's 200-yard backstroke, swimming a strong 1:55.72 to take 11th in the event. Senior Rebecca Brooks (13th, 1:58.46), and freshman Annie Harrison (16th, 1:59.48) also swam in the "B" finals of the 200-yard backstroke for Carolina.
North Carolina had five finalists in the men's 100-yard freestyle on Sunday. Junior Kyle Ficker and Stilley finished just .01 seconds apart as Ficker finished 12th in 45.45, and Stilley swam 45.46 to take 13th. Freshman Sam Lewis was 18th in the event (46.44), and Graesser closed out the heat in 46.71 for 20th. Freshman Sean Sullivan finished 26th in 46.59.
In the women's 100-yard freestyle, sophomore Dani Silverling placed 15th in 50.44, and sophomore Nikki Barczak was 17th in 50.62. Swimming in the "C" final, freshman Allie Hardesty was 27th in 51.57.
"We had a lot of lifetime best swims over the course of the weekend, and that sets us up well going into the second semester," DeSelm said. "Now it's time to focus on studying for exams and training for the spring and our championship season."
The Tar Heel men finished third with 575.5 points behind host Ohio State with 1,306 and Florida with 997.5. UNC topped Wisconsin (fourth, 400), Indiana (fifth, 305), Stanford (sixth, 97), and Purdue ( seventh, 65).

Wheel Backspacing
I need help understanding backspacing as it pertains to wheels. I'll start out with a few questions.
1. Is 0" backspacing considered to be where the hub face is in the center of the rim?
2. Are there both negative and positive backspacing?
3. Which moves the rim away from the body?
4. How do you measure backspacing on an existing wheel?
5. Do wheel mfg's provide a range of backspacing in their wheels or do you just have to shop around for the backspacing you need?
As you can tell, I am new to this subject so any help/advice will be appreciated.
1) O" backspacing means that there is a equal amount of spacing on each side of the wheel...example...3.5 on the front, and 3.5 on the rear.
2) Positive is more on the curb side of the wheel, negative has more on the frame side.
3) Positive.....
4) Lay the wheel flat, lay a straight edge accross the wheel and measure down to where the wheel bolts to the axle.
5) Most wheel companies tell what the backspacing is.
Example: If you have a 15 X 7 wheel with 4" backspace ...it is a 0" offset wheel. The reason is that a 7" wheel is 8" at the widest point and 7" between the beads of the tire when mounted.
Hope this was not too confusing.
>1) O" backspacing means that there is a equal >amount of spacing on each side of the >wheel...example...3.5 on the front, and 3.5 on >the rear.
No, 0" back space the rim would line up with
rear face of the mounting surface, 0" offset
is what you're discribing...
>2) Positive is more on the curb side of the >wheel, negative has more on the frame side.
Tough to tell on this one, as I've seen them
Quoted both ways...
>Example: If you have a 15 X 7 wheel with 4" >backspace ...it is a 0" offset wheel. The reason >is that a 7" wheel is 8" at the widest point and >7" between the beads of the tire when mounted.
A 7" wheel *MIGHT* be an inside measurement, but
it won't be 8" wide, 7.5" maybe, so it'll be a
4" backspace and a 1/2" offset...
It's best to order wheels using the backspace
Just to add to the confusion, go here...

Happy Birthday, Ozarks!
Photos by Steve Edmisten. Submitted on 10/28/2009.
On October 28, 1834, a group of Cumberland Presbyterians met at Cane Hill, Arkansas, to talk about establishing a school in their community. 175 years later to the day, Steve Edmisten, Executive Vice President of that school (now known as University of the Ozarks), visited the Cane Hill community and took this photo of the marker commemorating the founding of the school.
During Robert McGee King's tenure as superintendent of Cane Hill School, a bell from a sunken steamboat was acquired for the college. The college was burned during the Civil War, and the bell cracked. However, when the school reopened after the war, the bell was re-cast, and on its return, it was placed in a free-standing belfry that still stands beside the college building.
In 1885, an arsonist destroyed the college building, but it was replaced by a two-story brick building that still stands on the college property. Cane Hill Museum is located on the second floor and contains many artifacts from the area.
There will be an open house at the museum on December 5th from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The building and museum staff will be dressed in 1860's style. For more information, contact Doris Kiple at 479-824-2061.

People Helped in 2016: 283,729
Gripped by recurring droughts, chronic food shortages, and over 20 years of nearly incessant conflict, Somalia is one of the most challenging environments in the world for humanitarian operations. The regional drought of late 2011 and early 2012 affected Somalia more than any other nation across eastern Africa, displacing millions and subjecting tens of thousands to famine in the hardest-hit regions. Ultimately, some two million people remain in crisis, with conflict and insecurity continuing to contribute to poor household food consumption and high malnutrition rates.
Somalia has been even further destabilized over the past few years as political tensions mount and security conditions deteriorate. Emergency humanitarian assistance is still critical in many parts of the country, despite the fact that a number of regions are now now under the control of Islamist militants, complicating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to populations in need.
Fighting hunger and assisting refugees in Somalia
Action Against Hunger has worked with vulnerable communities in Somalia for over 20 years, and was one of the only organizations working in the hard-hit Bakool and Benadir regions, the epicenter of the recent famine and humanitarian catastrophe. Our teams now provide assistance in and around Mogadishu while providing running programs in the major refugee camps along the Ethiopian and Kenyan borders, where thousands of Somalis have relocated.

Softball Sweeps Pair of Saturday Games
(By Rachel Buck @GBRachel)
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Wrapping up action at the Western Kentucky Hilltopper Classic on Saturday, the Green Bay softball team picked up a pair of wins, topping Indiana State 4-2 before going on to beat Northern Iowa, 3-1.
The two wins moved Green Bay's record to 3-1 in the first weekend of competition.
Green Bay was slated to play Indiana State on Sunday morning, but the game has been cancelled due to inclement weather forcasted for Bowling Green.
Game One: Green Bay 4, Indiana State 2
The Phoenix rallied from a 2-0 deficit to put up two runs apiece in the fourth and fifth innings as it went on to defeat Indiana State, 4-2, on Saturday morning.
The Sycamores struck first in the bottom of the second inning denting the scoreboard with two runs on two hits. With two runners in scoring position Alexa Cavin hit an RBI groundout to second before Kelsey Montgomery singled through the left side to drive in another run.
Green Bay's runs in the fourth came on RBI hits by sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) and senior Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.). Junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) led off the inning with a single to third and advanced to second on a Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) groundout. Michalkiewiz then stepped to the plate and delivered an RBI triple through the left side to bring Mohrfeld home. After a Green Bay groundout, Shannon Butts singled through the right side, allowing Michalkiewicz to cross home plate and tie the game, 2-2.
The Phoenix went ahead in the top of the fifth with two runs on three hits. With two outs on the scoreboard, sophomore Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) kept Green Bay alive with a double down the left field line. Mohrfeld tripled to left field to drive in Hutchinson before Reinke laid down a suicide squeeze bunt, scoring Mohrfield to put the Phoenix ahead for good, 4-2.
Sophomore Briana Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) picked up her first win of the season, scattering four hits over five innings while allowing two earned runs with a walk. Freshman Heather Sanderson (Rapid River, Mich.) earned her first save, throwing the final two innings with a hit, strikeout and three walks.
Four different Phoenix drove in runs, with Mohrfeld and Reinke both finishing 2-for-4, Michalkiewicz 1-for-4 and Shannon Butts 2-for-3.
Taylor Lockwood took the loss for Indiana State, throwing the middle two innings and allowing the go-ahead runs. Rylee Holland was the lone Sycamore with a multi-hit showing, going 2-for-4.
Game Two: Green Bay 3, Northern Iowa 1
Green Bay completed the day's sweep with a 3-1 win over Northern Iowa on Saturday afternoon at the Hilltopper Classic.
The hot bat of Michalkiewicz got the Phoenix on the scoreboard first as she drilled her first home run of the season in the bottom of the fourth to put Green Bay up, 1-0.
Northern Iowa put a run of its own on the board in the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly by Gina Brown, but the Phoenix responded in the home half of the inning to go up, 3-1. With two runners in scoring position, junior Tia Collins (Orfordville, Wis.) singled to center field, brining in both of the runners.
Senior Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) allowed one hit with one out in the top of the seventh before setting down her next two batters faced to pick up her first complete game and win of the season. She finished the game scattering three hits while not allowing the Panthers to put a hit on the scoreboard until the top of the fifth. Her one run allowed was unearned, and she also struck out four with three walks.
Collins finished the game 1-for-3 with two RBI, while Michalkiewicz was 2-for-3 with an RBI and run scored.
UNI's Ashley Fisher took the loss, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
Sunday's game against Indiana State has been canceled due to the threat of inclement weather in Bowling Green. The Phoenix will return to action in two weeks at the University of South Florida Michele Smith Spring Break Tournament, taking place March 14-16.

Degas is known for his richly-coloured pastels and paintings of dancers, but perhaps most of all for his radical sculpture The Little Fourteen year-old Dancer. See her and 71 other figures in bronze by the great master at the Glyptotek.
The Dancer was a tremendous sensation – and scandal – when she was presented at the 6th Impressionist Exhibition in Paris in 1881. Executed in wax, and dressed in a tulle skirt and with real hair, the dancer was radically different from any other contemporary work of sculpture. Opinions about her were many, and very divided, among both critics and the public. Today the sculpture is regarded as a modern masterpiece, particularly on account of the novelty and range of materials used.
Parallel with his considerable output of paintings and pastels, Degas modelled for his own use a large number of smaller wax figures. Around 150 of these dancers, bathing women and horses were discovered in his studio after his death and the best preserved of them – roughly half – were cast in bronze. As one of only four museums in the world, the Glyptotek has the complete collection of Degas' studies of horses, bathing women and ballet dancers, executed in bronze.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Northeast Conference Tournament MVP Peter McMahon (Wilton, Conn.) scored his third-straight hat trick while NEC Player of the Year Kevin Massa (Huntington, N.Y.) went 21-for-25 at the faceoff X as the Bryant University men's lacrosse team earned the NEC's first-ever auto bid into the NCAA tournament as well as the school's first Division I NCAA tournament berth with a 14-7 victory over Robert Morris Saturday afternoon at Bulldog Stadium.
Junior midfielder Colin Dunster (Cos Cob, Conn.) recorded a contest-best six points off two goals and four assists while the Bulldogs (8-10) dominated nearly every facet of the game as the Black and Gold defended their NEC Tournament Championship and 2013 regular-season title.
The Colonials (8-7) fell behind, 6-2, at the halftime break but used a four-goal third quarter to pull back within a single tally, 7-6, entering the final 15 minutes of play. But in the fourth quarter, the top-seeded Bulldogs exploded for seven goals – six of which came unanswered – to pull away for the victory in front of the home crowd.
"Our ability to close the game out was just remarkable today," said head coach Mike Pressler. "To win not only in front of our fans, our President and Athletic Director, but to also be the first team in Bryant history to go to the Division I NCAA tournament – there is so much emotion and excitement in that."
The hosts used a 4-0 first quarter on the back of tallies from Bo Redpath (Norwich, Vt.), Dan Sipperly (Greenwich, N.Y.), Shane Morrell (Glen Mills, Pa.) and McMahon to jump out ahead of the Colonials, who would quickly cut that lead in half to open the second off scores from Connor Martin and Dave Morton.
But those would be the only tallies of the first half for second-seeded Robert Morris, as the Bulldogs saw all-tournament team selection Alex Zomerfeld (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) put the home team up, 5-2, with 3:32 to go before the halftime break. Rookie midfielder Charles Everett (West Tisbury, Mass.) made it 6-2 with the first marker of his career, taking a pass from Morrell at the doorstep with two minutes left in the second to send Bryant into the intermission with a 6-2 advantage.
"The attack played great, and our middies were terrific," said Pressler. "And that sixth goal right before half from Charlie Everett – what a spectacular play to get us pumped up going into halftime."
But in the third, it was all Robert Morris, as Martin scored again just 14 seconds into the frame to cut the margin to 6-3. Brian Schlansker (Glenville, N.Y.) would temporarily restore the four-goal cushion with a man-up tally two minutes later, but the Colonials would close out the quarter with three-straight goals and narrow the gap to just one, 7-6.
The fourth remained close through the opening five minutes with scores coming from both sides – the first from Sipperly and the second from RMU's Eric Rankel – but Dunster would connect with Bulldog rookie Collins Gantz (Denver, Colo.) for another man-up goal to extend Bryant's lead to 9-7 with just over nine to go, and the home side wouldn't look back, getting five more scores – two from McMahon, two from Dunster and another from Gantz – to close out the 14-7 victory.
On the day, Bryant outshot Robert Morris, 44-25, won the ground balls game, 59-26, and allowed the Colonials just four faceoff wins in 25 tries. Massa picked up 20 of those ground balls, while redshirt-freshman and all-tournament team pick Gunnar Waldt (Freeland, Md.) made 11 stops between the pipes, including five in the fourth quarter.
McMahon would finish the NEC Tournament with six goals and four assists to pave the way to the NCAAs for the Black and Gold, while Bryant's starting attack wrapped up the tournament with 19 points. The first-line midfield of Gantz, Dunster and Zomerfeld chipped in 14 points, while Massa went 36-of-48 (.750) with 29 ground balls in the two-game stretch.
"There's no player more fitting to be the MVP than Peter McMahon," said Pressler. "He is playing the best lacrosse of his career right now, and I'm not sure if he isn't playing at this level that we are sitting here today as the NEC Champions."
Now, the Bulldogs will wait to hear who they must face in the NCAA tournament's opening round, a matchup they will find out Sunday night during ESPNU's 9:00 p.m. selection show.
"It doesn't matter who we play," said Pressler. "We will be traveling somewhere, and it doesn't matter. Our goal was to get to this point, and then once you get there to figure it out and find a way to go beyond.
"But we're going to come up with a plan to compete, and to beat," he continued. "We aren't going in there for any other reason. We are going in there to win – anything less than that wouldn't be us."

Typically HV 22lr are plated and standard/subsonic are not. Just because its plated the cost isn't really a factor. Most cheap bulk packs are HV and plated except for CCI blazer while top shelf target ammo like Eley is lubed lead, standard velocity and pricey.
I've been told that the copper plating helps reduce barrel leading and acts as a lube, even though I've seen plated ammo with a wax coating. Personally, I think it's mostly cosmetic if doesn't act like I was told. I"ll let someone else verify.... Either way I don't lose any sleep worrying about it much.

All skaters got safely arrived.
A short video clip of rehearsal:
thaanks for new clip
There are a total of 9 performances this time. I am really looking forward to the show.
Here is a pic from Alex's tweet.
More pictures from Alex!
The first show just started.
Mao and Jeff (Mai was the moderator) had a talk session during the intermission.
Jeff and Mao
and a short clip
I saw the afternoon version of The Ice last night! It was the night where the men shone, I thought.
Jeff, of course, made me cry with his beauty, but the one that impressed me the most was Kozu!! He was THE master of edges, and I think he is skating much more powerfully than before. I really think many aspects of his SS surpass Patrick's.
Also, I was impressed with Takahito Mura's performance. His style reminded me of how Yuna used to skate. Very powerful, broad strokes.
I was a little startled with Mao's new Mary Poppins exhibition. It does not measure up to the majesty of Jupiter, but I suppose she is just showing another side to her performance ability. She does a double-axel holding an umbrella, and her outfit is quite elaborate and makes jumping difficult, I think. She succeeded in doing a very nice flip but doubled or singled her loop. I think there were some transitions leading right up to all the jumps so what with her costume, I believe jumping in her exhibition is going to be something of an ordeal for her.
The men's group number that Jeff choreographed was just wow.
Thanks for the report, magnolia!
Some photos:
Thank you for your report, magnolia!
I've read tweets about the men's group number, and I really, really want to see it! It sounds amazing! I'm so jealous of those who were able to make it to the shows. I'm glad you had a good time!
I love Mao's Mary Poppins dress. Her exhibitions dresses are always such a better look than the competitive ones.
Thanks for the report. Mao looks so sweet as Mary Poppins!
More pics from Alex Shib.!
The club can't even handle us right now...
And Adelina Sotnikova photos.
when is footage going to be uploaded? I AM DYING TO SEE...
Me too!!
Sometimes the organizers upload it themselves.
We'll just have to wait.
I know i know but surely someone sat in the crowd and uploaded some footage...i'm dyin here.
sometimes i wonder when Nichol will retire

Summit Outside: Mallards: The ancestors of most domestic ducks
October 27, 2012
Mallards are a pretty commonly seen duck. There are a number of pairs that have raised their young on Dillon Reservoir this summer, and I recently watched a group feeding by "dabbling" on vegetation near the shore not far from Frisco Bay Marina. Mallards are "dabbling ducks" – they feed in the water by tipping forward and grazing on underwater plants: bottoms up!
As a child I had a picture book: "Make Way for Ducklings." It was the winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for its illustrations. It is the story of a pair of mallards who decide to raise their family on an island in the lagoon in Boston Public Garden in Massachusetts. I grew up within walking distance of the public gardens in Boston.
The mallard exists throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Europe, Asia and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. They can be found from Arctic tundra to subtropical regions in both fresh- and saltwater wetlands. They are seen in parks, ponds, rivers, lakes and estuaries, as well as shallow inlets and open sea within sight of the coastline. They prefer shallow water depths of less than 3 feet and are attracted to bodies of water with aquatic vegetation.
The male bird, called a drake, is an attractive duck with a glossy green head and grey on wings and belly. The females have mainly brown-speckled plumage. This species is the ancestor of most breeds of domestic ducks. Mallards can cross breed as well with a number of domestic ducks. On a farm pond one sees evidence of white duck/mallard hybrids.
The mallard is medium-sized, although it is often slightly heavier than most other dabbling ducks. It is 20-26 inches long; the body making up around two-thirds of the length, and it has a wingspan of 32-39 inches. They weigh about 1.6-3.5 lbs.
Mallards usually form pairs in October and November, and stay together until the female lays eggs at the start of nesting season at the beginning of spring. The male then joins up with other males until the molting period, which begins in June. During the short time before this, the males are still sexually active and some of them sire replacement clutches, or forcibly mate with females that appear to be isolated or unattached, regardless of their species and whether or not they have a brood of ducklings.
When they pair off, often one or several drakes end up "left out." This group sometimes targets an isolated female duck, even one of a different species, and proceeds to chase and peck at her until she weakens, at which point the males take turns copulating with the female: a kind of gang rape.
The nest is usually on a bank of a body of water, but may not always be near water. When seeking out a suitable nesting site, the females seek areas that are well concealed and inaccessible to ground predators. This can include nesting sites in urban areas such as roof gardens, enclosed courtyards and flower boxes on window ledges.
The nesting period can be very stressful for the female since she lays more than half her body weight in eggs. The clutch of eight to 13 eggs is incubated for 27-28 days to hatching.
Upon hatching, the plumage coloring of the young duckling is yellow on the underside and face with streaks by the eyes, and black on the backside. Once it is one month old, the duckling's plumage will start looking more like the female, though its plumage is more streaked. At 6-10 months of age, the plumage of female juveniles remains the same while the plumage of male juveniles slowly changes to its characteristic colors. Mallards reach adulthood at 14 months and the average life expectancy is 20 years.
The ducklings are fully capable of swimming as soon as they hatch. They imprint and stay near the mother for warmth, protection and to learn about and remember their habitat and how and where to forage for food. The juvenile can begin flying between three to four months of age.
When ducklings mature, they will learn their traditional migratory routes. Juveniles and their mother may either part or remain together until the next breeding season arrives.
The mallard is highly gregarious outside of the breeding season and forms large flocks, which are known as "sords."
They can be quite noisy: the male has a nasal call, and a high-pitched whistle, while the female has a deeper quack stereotypically associated with ducks.
The mallard is omnivorous; the diet seems to include butterflies, dragonflies, crustaceans, worms, frogs, many varieties of seeds, plant matter, roots and tubers. Plants generally make up a larger part of the diet, especially during autumn migration and in the winter. They feed by dabbling for plant food or grazing.
Mallards of all ages, especially young ones, have a wide diversity of predators including raptors, crows, snakes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, turtles, large fish and cats and dogs. The dangerous natural predators of adult mallards are red fox and hawks.
Unlike many waterfowl, mallards have benefited from human habitation. They are very adaptable, being able to live and even thrive in urban areas. I once saw a pair of mallards stroll into a retail store along the The Riverwalk in San Antonio and waddle up and down the aisles as if they were shopping.
Since 1933, the Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis, Tenn., has maintained a tradition of keeping a mallard drake and four mallard hens, called "The Peabody Ducks," as a popular hotel attraction and guests of honor.

VISIBLE LIGHT at WAVELENGTH 630: Produces an anti-inflammatory action. Combined with infrared light, it stimulates collagen production and regenerates the skin. It firms skin and acts against the orange skin effect.
ULTRASOUND WAVE + MASSAGE: X-SLIM emits ultrasound for a micro-massaging, draining and anti-oedema action. The power of ultrasound vibrations breaks down fat cells and reduces toxins! In addition, ultrasound helps Talika Slim Serum's (sold separately) active ingredients to penetrate much deeper, helping reducing even more fat cells.
SAFETY NOTE: No heat, burning, redness. Only for neck and body. (Important warning and restriction: This product emits pulses of light that may be uncomfortable for certain people. We strongly recommend that people with epilepsy, photophobic, pacemakers or who are pregnant should avoid using this product.)
In 28 days :
- Reduces the circumference of the tights by up to 2cm.*
- Reduces the cellulite up to 50% Breaks up fat depostis*
- Boosts micro-circulation
- Improves the skin tone
* Clinical test on 15 women for 56 days, with Slim Serum application.
Pick up the device. It activates in stand by position immediately.
Apply device on the first area to be treated. Its action will start automatically within a few seconds. For best results use on bare skin, but Light X-Slim can also be used on clothes (dark and thin).
Allow the device to rest or slowly slide over the area to be treated within a radius of 5cm for about one minute.
After one minute, the device vibration becomes continuous for a few seconds, indicating that it is time to move the application to the next area to be treated.
For even better results and comfort, use in combination with TALIKA Slim Serum.
The device can be recharged via the mains or a USB port.
Light X-Slim is guaranteed 2 years.

The citys two beaches, the Playa de Poniente and the Playa de Levante, stretch over 5 km.
The city offers over 30 discos and 1,000 restaurants, so there is nightlife for everyone. Among Benidorms attractions are the Aqualandia Water Amusement Park, with a wide variety of chutes, falls, pools, and rapids; the Mundoman Marine Exotic Animal Park, with exhibits and shows; Medieval Tournament, which includes a kingly feast and knightly entertainment; Terra Mitica, a theme park boasting some of Europes wildest rides.

I don't know how many of you heard about it, but the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is held every year in Harrisburg PA, it's one of largest (if not the largest) shows for people that do anything from camping, hiking, fishing and hunting.
Well this year the company that runs the show said they don't want any "assault style weapons" or "high capacity mags" displayed at this years show.
Well there has been a boycott started and there are now over 200 venders & speakers that are not going to attend.
I've had trouble finding a complete list but here's one from a local news site

The Eagles (03/07/14) - Superb Concert
One of the best concerts I have ever attended. They sang all there songs - well known and not so well known - and were on stage for about 2 and 3/4 hours. The atmosphere was fantastic and the acoustics were brilliant, Only downside was the arena got very hot.
Annie54, 03/07/14
The Eagles (03/07/14) - Fantastic!
The concert was absolutely fantastic. No gimmics, no support act, it was all about the music and the songs. Joe Walsh was brilliant. At three hours long we certainly got value for money too!
Alpal, 03/07/14
Eric Clapton (03/07/14) - The bare minimum
I was really disappointed with EC at the Leeds gig. He didnt really put any effort in. A few songs, boring versions, nothing very special at all. I am a long time fan and wanted him to do so much beter than this mediocre performance
Kenneth, 27/06/14
Price of drinks was disgusting £2.50 for a third pint diet coke. .Eric Clapton gig at Leeds Arena was brilliant while it lasted. But again for some reason (like Glasgow, night before) EC did not finish the concert. We were told gig to finished (by e-mail) at 10.45pm.) Allow people to book taxi or lifts. He went off stage with no explanation, but just to wave to the crowd at 10.10pm. The lights did not go on in the arena for a few minutes as I suppose the management thought he was going to come back on. The audience were amazed lights come on, and people walked out. During the performance, the audience saw the typed list of music on the piano. (through video screen). It contains 3 songs that where never played, biggest one was to be the last one was Layla. How on earth can you leave that out? I was seated floor level, seeing as I paid £80.00 should think so. The only problem with that was seeing, as bar open all the time people where constantly walking in front of me, to go to th

The only problem with that was seeing, as bar open all the time people where constantly walking in front of me, to go to the bar and then of course to the toilets. Was slow hand annoyed at people walking on and off the area all night, who know? As I say brilliant while it lasted but you can't treat fans like that. I don't know how many gigs are left in this tour, but other fans will have got to know about Glasgow and maybe Leeds and think twice about spending there well-earned cash.
Darren, 27/06/14
Robbie Williams (27/06/14) - Amazing night, great venue.
Inner pit tickets, fantastic time at the show from a great entertainer. We had an awesome night, Staff at venue awesome.
Lynneow, 26/06/14
Acoustics are great- sight lines from block three are poor due to the lighting and speakers blockers the big screens. Food and drink is limited and expensive.
Robbie Williams (26/06/14) - Sounded great-pity I couldnt see him!
I was so looking forward to the event and whilst Robbie sounded great the seats we had been allocated were dreadful. They were in block three half way up and I completely accepted that we were not going to be near the stage but expected to be able to see Robbie on the big screens -unfortunately the arena speakers and lighting completely blocked the screens. We complained to the stadium officials during the break and they acknowledged it was problem a lot of people complain about!!! Dont bother booking tickets if they are in block three -they are not worth the money.
jaybee, 25/06/14
the venue is great, the security were good, they kept passing water out regularly and kept chatting to people. the toilets were clean the only downfall was it was very warm, couldnt feel any air conditioning blowing at all during the time in the arena
Robbie Williams (25/06/14) - brilliant
it was two hours of sheer entertainment, he sings, he swings, he sways. he sang songs from swing when your winning album and his new stuff, he even did angels with a bit of swing. amazing. thank you Robbie for making an older woman happy xxx
eventim fan, 25/06/14
It was a shame that although we were paying £2.00 a bottle for water the management decided all caps must be removed before entering the arena, which meant a health and safety hazard from spilled water!!!
Robbie Williams (25/06/14) - fantastic night
What a fantastic night, Robbie was pure entertainment from start to finish; he had the audience enthralled and amused. What a showman, cannot wait for him to return!!!!!!
As above, think there is an issue with sound distortion and volume. If you cant hear the artist what is the point of going. Insufficient toilets. Not wide enough range of refreshment facilities
Robbie Williams (25/06/14) - Robbie excellent
Robbie was at his entertaining best and couldnt fault him. Unfortunately the sound production let him down - there were several songs where the band drowned him out and the overall sound was distorted. Not convinced its just down to sound engineers having had similar experience at Dolly Parton - think the venue has a fundamental problem.
jessie, 25/06/14
Robbie Williams (25/06/14) - excellent event
robbie williams is the best i enjyed every minute of his show he is a s uperstar . The leeds venue was brilliant too everything about the night was perfect and amazeballs.
Mad Phil, 23/06/14
Saw Eric Clapton - all time great, total class. Excellent facilities, really top quality. I wouldnt use Eventim to book my tickets though; seventy four quid altogether for a sixty pound ticket. Other ticket agencies are much cheaper with their charges.
Prawnie, 20/05/14
This is a great venue for all events! I have seen concerts, wrestling and pantomime here and the sound is great with excellent views throughout.
WWE Live (20/05/14) - Great Night Of Wrestling
We had a great night at the WWE Live wrestling. We had a fantastic view of the ring due to the seating at the arena. Fun night had by all.
Lewis Nicholson, 19/05/14
WWE Live (19/05/14) - AWESOME Event!!!
This was our seventh time seeing WWE and it was definitely one of our best times attending a WWE Event. The whole atmosphere on the night was great, we couldnt have asked for a better experience. Our seats were fantastic and we had a great view of the ring. Many fans were disappointed that Daniel Bryan was injured and couldnt attend but the highlight of the show for us was definitely watching Kane!!! Overall great night out, we will definitely be coming to see WWE again in Leeds someday!
Emm, 19/05/14
Nice for Leeds to finally have a fitting venue to match those in the other large cities of the UK. Very modern, close to parking and bars, easy to navigate, great lay out.
WWE Live (19/05/14) - Entertaining with a couple of negatives
My first time at the new arena and I have to say I was impressed and happy that we now have an Arena fitting to the city of Leeds. Didnt know what to expect as it was my first time watching wrestling but the atmosphere was great and my son loved every minute of his birthday present. He was however extremely disappointed at Daniel Bryans absence as he is his favourite. The other downside was there wasnt any sound on our tier therefore for a novice I couldnt get the jist of the ring banter. Our seats on the third tier were budget driven and I thought the view and the length of the show was spot on for the price but thought it bizarre such a new venue didnt have the sound figured out.
Serenity, 19/05/14
Loved the amount of space and how easy it was to exit the arena, never felt too crowded. Never had to queue for toilets and even the queue at the merchandise stalls didnt take too long. Seats were comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful
WWE Live (19/05/14) - Awesome night
We all had an amazing time, the kids loved seeing a lot of their favourite wrestlers and the venue was fantastic. My youngest is wrestling mad but was a bit upset at first at how loud it was so if youre taking a young child (hes 5) Id recommend taking some ear plugs just in case! Didnt stop him enjoying it though, and made his night when he saw Roman Reigns outside the arena! The only reasons it didnt get 5 stars are that we couldnt really hear what they were saying when talking, and we were only on the second tier, also Daniel Bryan was supposed to be on and hes one of their favourites so they were a bit upset that he wasnt appearing. Other than that it was awesome! Well definitely be booking again, great family night out and if any of the kids get restless theres plenty of space to take them out away for the main show.
Gledders, 08/05/14
We paid a fortune to see Rod Stewart in September last year Went on Platinum Package The food and drink was excellent The concert was excellent The seating was excellent FRONT ROW hence the price The big disappointment were the drunken idiots that ran down to the front row trying to push us all out and blocked our view. It took security far too long to move them and spoilt the start of the concert We did complain afterwards in writing but as usual it was not acknowledged !!!
Lenorm, 28/04/14
Did not use the toilets or any of the on-site services, so cannot comment about these. Also did not use any of the nearby car parks as got a lift to the arena. There was no security at all (was expecting our bags to be searched but this did not happen). The acoustics were very good, if somewhat too loud. The atmosphere was good (perhaps the vastness of the Arena made it feel so awesome. Once inside the Arena proper (13,000 people I think) the audience were just so excited to see the show, the atmosphere was very exciting. The seats were comfortable.
Dancing On Ice: The Live Tour (28/04/14) - Enjoyable Show.......But
Although great fans of Torvill and Dean (having seen them twice before over the years), was a little disappointed as this was their Farewell Tour, was expecting more of a proper show than just the celebrities dancing with their professional partners (just like watching Dancing on Ice on t.v). Apart from the Swan routine which was beautiful, there wasnt any more routines by the professionals. Torvill and Deans previous shows have always included more professional dancers doing their own fabulous routines. There was a lot of video coverage on the large screens showing each celebrity before they came onto the ice which took up quite a bit of time. Unfortunately, as Gareth Gatess partner was ill and couldnt perform, he only came on once with another professional to do a short routine and sang a short song. The atmosphere in the Arena was great and the audience absolutely welcoming towards the ice skaters. The warm up guy was really good and got everyone on their feet and laughing. At the end of the show when Jane Torvill said that this was not Goodbye, but Goodnight, was surprised as was under the impression this was their last ever show. Hey ho! Still enjoyed the show very much despite the above comments.

Dancing On Ice: The Live Tour (28/04/14) - Great venue, disappointing show
I have been looking forward to seeing T&D in the last DOI tour for months..A spectacular opening and hearing that this was the penultimate show led me to eagerly expect something special... instead I get the feeling of a demob happy cast (Joe P in particular) that all in all left me feeling slightly cheated. Highlights... the opening dance routine, T&Ds penultimate Bolero, the Swan dance and the professional skater displays in general. Lowlights... not seeing Hayleys signature routine Jai Ho, a disappointing cast finale (promised spectacular routine and pyrotechnics were a damp squib) the padding in between dances due to video links (if Id wanted to watch tv Id have stayed at home) and above all the embarrassment and down right vulgarity when watching Joe P fawn all over one of the poor male professional skaters... I didnt have children with me but if I had I think I would have complained at the venue... the premise (bad male celeb shows up rated female star) was ok, but the extremes that he took it to would have provoked questions about what is that man doing to that other man? from a younger child. I felt it was unnecessary, particularly as this was a matinee performance, and it just served to bring home to me exactly why I dont ever want to watch Joe Pasquale again. I am hoping that this was down to Joe being over exuberant on his last day (which judging by the reaction of the professional skater could well have been the case) but IF this was a regular part of the show I doubt whether Id invest in the DVD when it is released. As a fan of T&D since their competitive performances I know that I am older than the average audience, but I am by no means a prude and am part of the fan base that they thanked for supporting them over the years...so feel that my comment is worthy of sharing. It is a shame that the odd part of the show spoiled what could have been an amazing afternoon out.
Good seating with unrestricted views. However it gets hot and there seems to be no aircon. There needs to be some handrails as you climb the steps as it is quite steep on all levels. Big, big queues for the toilets at the interval also.
Dancing On Ice: The Live Tour (28/04/14) - Lively, entertaining family show!
A great show based on the format of the TV show with 3 judges marking the performances of the celebrities. A relaxed version of it with lots of humour from Joe Pasquale. The highlight was most definitely Torville and Dean performing Bolero but all the skaters entertained brilliantly.
Bramley Rhino, 28/04/14
Dancing On Ice: The Live Tour (28/04/14) - Birthday Treat
We took my Mum as a 90th Birthday treat. Our Seats were on Block 109 and we had a Fantastic view right down the ice. The show was very good and the crowd really enjoyed it. Fantastic to see Bolero Live

By Joe Brewin
Francis Coquelin wants to prove Arsène Wenger's faith in him last season was justified by having an even bigger year in the Arsenal first team.
The France Under-21 international returned from a successful loan spell with Lorient last summer and went on to make 17 appearances in both midfield and defence for the Gunners.
Coquelin is vying for a start against Sunderland on Saturday and he admits the time has come for him to play a more prominent role in Wenger's side
"I am here in the first team and have been since last season," he told Arsenal Player. "Now I want to push on and be in the starting XI.
"I just want to play as much as football as I can. Last season the manager showed faith in me and now I have to show him that he can carry on in this way, that I have the qualities to play for Arsenal.
"Every player knows what they have to do because you are always fighting to play. We have some great players and it is tough to get a place but everybody knows that you have to work hard to get in.
"This is Arsenal Football Club, it can't be easy."

Syracuse • The numbers are flashy and the results have been garish. But the key to the success is anything but glitzy.
The Syracuse defensive line has used fundamental, assignment-based football to power a Titans defense that has established itself as one of the most dominant in the state.
"Our defensive philosophy is we want to play a good, sound base defense rather than running around and sending people here and there," Syracuse Coach Russ Jones said. "We just want everybody to be good, basic, fundamentally sound know your gaps, know your responsibility."
That strategy has worked nearly flawlessly for the undefeated Titans, who are giving up fewer than 8 points a game and didn't give up more than 14 in any contest. And it all starts with the defensive line.
Powered by Cardon Malan and Jace Purser at the end positions, and Kaden Craig, Caden Call and Braiden Tovey on the interior, the line has been relentless in pressuring the quarterback and stuffing the run.
Purser and Malan have seven sacks apiece, while Craig has added 3 1/2 sacks and leads the team in tackles.
"We take pride in it," Malan said. "We just all do our jobs, and we're coached well. Our defensive coaches are really good."
Jones also credits Syracuse's assistant coaches for the line's success and for getting more out of the sum of the parts than the individual parts could provide.
"The coaching staff, I think, has just taken ordinary kids and gotten them to raise their level," Jones said.
Still, it would be wrong to discount the work of the players, who have been fueled by last year's heartbreaking loss to Fremont in the state semifinals.
"I think the kids really worked hard in the offseason," Jones said. "Ever since we finished our run last year to the semis, our kids have really bought in and taken things serious."
The line's dominance has had a ripple effect on the rest of the defense. By getting consistent pressure in the backfield and being effective against the run, the line has taken pressure off the linebacking corps and secondary.
"Getting pressure on the quarterback definitely helps our secondary and our linebackers," Malan said. "But they still have to do their jobs and help us out, too."
That the defensive line has been so good this season is somewhat surprising, given it lost all-state end Hunter Dimick to graduation after last season. Dimick, now at Utah, led the state in sacks last season, which left a void the Titans have had to team up to fill.
"Maybe as a whole, they might be better [this season]," Jones said. "They've really worked to get there."
The Titans know their work isn't done. Though they've gotten this far, they're four wins away from a state championship, a goal that appears in reach for the Titans, the lone unbeaten team in Class 5A.
"We treat every game the same, but I think we have a big target since we're the only undefeated team in 5A," Malan said. "I'd definitely say we have some pressure on us."
Pressure or not, the Titans insist they're ready for Viewmont on Friday in the first playoff game hosted at Syracuse since 2009.
"The kids are excited about the playoffs and ready to go," Jones said. "We're optimistic about where we're going to go and what we want to try and accomplish."
