It wasn't difficult to pick this week's Bruin of the Week.
No player starred more at both ends of the rink for the Bruins in their two games — one win and one overtime defeat — than center David Krejci.
Krejci registered one goal and one assist in each contest. Against Toronto, he scored what proved to be the game-winner on a beautiful breakaway with a move to his backhand that faked goaltender Vesa Toskala into the popcorn machine. Krejci also won five of 10 faceoffs against the Leafs.
On Long Island, he scored the go-ahead goal in a contest the Bruins lost in overtime. He also won nine of 11 draws and posted a plus-2 rating.
Other candidates this week were Mark Recchi (two goals and plus-1 vs. Leafs) and Steve Begin (12 hits in two games).

Broadcast Information for Nebraska-Iowa
Park Ridge, Ill. - The Iowa at Nebraska men's basketball game, originally scheduled for Thursday but rescheduled to Saturday because of an impending winter storm, will be available on the Big Ten Network's BTN2Go service, the Big Ten Conference announced Wednesday.
The Iowa-Nebraska game will tip off at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT on Saturday. The game was originally set to be televised by ESPN2, but when the game was rescheduled, ESPN informed the conference office that due to other programming commitments and logistical issues it would not be able to televise the game.
The conference office then asked if BTN could come up with a solution so that fans would be able to see the game. As a service to Iowa and Nebraska fans, and as a result of a significant logistical effort, BTN has made arrangements to be able to show the game on BTN2Go, the 24/7 mobile version of BTN that is widely available.
BTN will stream the feed from the arena video board on BTN2Go. Fans can go to BTN2Go.com to find out if their provider offers BTN2Go. Visit www.btn2go.com to watch on your computer, or search for "BTN2Go" in the iTunes App Store or on Google Play for Android devices.

We sure don't watch TV like we once did.
Thanks to DVRs, DVDs and the Internet viewers are no longer limited to the time restraints once put on them by the "Big 3" networks. Today, you can watch your favorite TV program movie, or sporting event at home, on the road, any time of the day or night.
We sure don't watch TV like we once did. Thanks to DVRs, DVDs and the Internet viewers are no longer limited to the time restraints once put on them by the "Big 3" networks. Today, you can watch your favorite TV program movie, or sporting event at home, on the road, any time of the day or night. If you are a member of the over 50 generation, you might recall that CBS, ABC and NBC went to great lengths to work out the annual fall lineup of programs. The perennial favorites were placed in a time period where they would draw the largest following. "Gunsmoke" was Saturday night staple. People literally set their clocks for Sunday evening and the arrival of "Bonanza." Loyal fans literally dropped what they were doing just to sit down for 30 minutes or an hour to watch their favorite program. Since the early 1950s, television has become a part of American culture. In many cases, we are defined by the shows that we watch. Unfortunately, many Americans began to set their personal schedules around the infamous "boob tube." How many times have you heard the excuse for not going to church on Sunday morning or Sunday evening was the "big game" was on that day? The old devil must hate video recorders because they tossed that lame excuse right out the window. Today, just set your DVR for high noon or 3 p.m., whenever the NFL kicks off, and you won't miss a single play or word of the preacher's sermon for that matter. There are many other reasons to enjoy the modern marvels of TV watching. Get busy and forget to watch "NCIS"? No problem. Just go online. The programs are streamed and can be watched another time. Better yet. You don't like what's on the air tonight? Despite the increase in the number of accessible networks, TV is still a vast wasteland of largely trash and nonsense. If you are a "Baby Boomer" like me, just go to your library of DVDs and pick a program from the past that was entertaining, taught a lesson and wasn't full of sex and violence – well, sex anyway. "Have Gun, Will Travel" and "Wanted: Dead or Alive" could be quite violent at times. Over the years, television has attempted to recapture the older audience with networks such as TV Land, Nick at Nite, The Hallmark Channel and The Inspirational Channel. And they are all well and good. However, the programs are so chopped up that occasionally you lose your grip of the plot. Got to get in those extra commercials. Speaking of commercials, was I just dreaming or once upon a time weren't TV programs longer. It seemed like during the breaks you had to rush at break-neck speed to take care of business before the program resumed. Half-hour programs frequently ran for 26 of the allotted 30-minute time period and hour programs were 50 minutes in length. Today, you might be lucky if a half-hour program is 22 minutes in content. One-hour programming might make it to around 42 minutes. Despite program quality, frankly I like the many ways we can view our favorite programs. You don't have to feel like you're handcuffed to the "one-eyed" monster. Watch what you want, when you want.

A very good customer of mine, Jon from Atlanta, booked an all day trip with us to acclimate his kids to offshore fishing. Jon has fished with me well over 50 times dating back as far as 1998. I've fished with his wife, Melissa, a time or two but this was the first time I ever met the children. I remember when the kids were born and now Ryan is 11 and Caroline is 8. I must be getting old! His plan was to see how the kids could handle the blue water scenario before he took them to Costa Rica in April.
Jon, and his squad, joined us at the dock at our usual 7 AM start time. Devon unleashed the snarling BEAST and we made our way to our favorite spots to collect some bait. We began with the kids yanking on some Blue Runners and they had a ball. The bait came easy. When had more than enough, we pulled up lines and made way for another reef patch to grab some worms. The chum bag went over and shortly thereafter our targets began to arrive. The Ballyhoo were hungry and we hook & lined a dozen or so quickly. The worms got stupid and came closer to the boat with each passing minute. The next thing they knew, a 10' Calusa cast net was hitting the water on top of them. We had plenty of bait so Devon and I made the boat ready for the day.
We made the short run offshore. As I settled The BEAST down, Devon and Jon spotted some Sooty Terns working another ¼ mile out. By the path and pattern of the birds we knew we had some sort of Tuna working so we hurriedly put out small plastics to troll through them. Bingo! The first fish were some small Bonito and the kids were already having fun. This happened again on the next set, like looking in a mirror. Devon asked if he should put down a deep rod since we were in these bait sized Bonito. I nodded yes. I swung around and closed in on the birds yet again. Bam! The next fish up was a decent football Blackfin Tuna. Sashimi Brudda!
I stayed on the birds and kept working this school. Devon thought he heard the down rod chirp so he retrieved the bait and realized his suspicion. We missed that one. We were hoping to stay in the action and collect some more of those Blackies. We got nailed again but this time it was a larger Bonito. The long rigger tripped and we were into another fish. We had another Tuna on but this one was a Skipjack. This is classic, the mixed Tuna bag.
We reset the lines again and as I was bearing down on the birds the deep rod sounded off. No missed bite here, this was a decent fish. We worked the fish by keeping pressure on it both with the rod and the boat. As the fish neared we could see the blue-black stripes of an Ono, El Tigre, or as we call it, Wahoo! The Wahoo wasn't a big fish but it was a good fish weighing in around 18-20 pounds.
We continued to stay on these birds catching small Bonito and keeping the kids busy. The down rod sounded off again and we were thinking another Wahoo. Not a Wahoo this time, it was a Kingfish instead. The fish had quit fighting about ½ of the way to the boat and we feared it was only going to be a piece of fish on the hook. Surprisingly, the fish was complete, with nothing missing. Well that's not quite true. On the left side it was apparent that either a very large Wahoo or Smoker King had tried to make this 11-pound Kingfish its lunch. Look at the size of that bite! I wanted the fish that wanted that fish!
We kept finding and working this school of small Bonito hoping for another big bite on the down rod. We missed 1 more bite down below and picked up a small Barracuda on top. I decided to give the kids a rest and do some live baiting especially since we saw a free jumper Sailfish while we were busy catching fish earlier. Jon agreed.
We set up the live bait spread, 4 up and 1 down. Things got slower but we still had a missed strike or two on the rod below. This is a good thing because it also teaches patience to the children. Caroline was a busy little bee on the boat during this slow down though. Man, can that girl talk. She became my best friend. Hold that thought we just got a bite! The down rod was tugging and we were excited. The Hardtail we sent down had obviously attracted a visitor. The fish came up and we were surprised to see this large Caribbean Spotted Mackerel in an area that we hardly ever catch them. Devon held the 20-pound Barracuda up for a photo op with the kids and then released it.
The action was definitely slower than the morning hours but it was steady. The Moon Jellies were everywhere, which undoubtedly had an effect on the surface bite. Caroline was having conversation with me and anyone else who would listen. Too funny! That girl is socially oriented. She got interrupted as a small school of peanut Dolphin harassed the bait. We managed to catch one of these little guys. A few minutes later the down rod popped off again and this was another decent Kingfish that pushed the scales up to the 13-pound marker.
Slightly passed 3 PM, Jon and Melissa were having a pow-wow in the *beep* Thunderstorms are growing to our East and moving toward shore so they decided that it was best to head in. Not a problem and a wise decision. It is best to have the kids leave while still wanting more. Devon and I buttoned up the boat and then headed for the house. We had a potpourri of fish in the fish box. We tallied the day at 1 Blackfin, 1 Skipjack, 12+ Bonito (lost count), 1 Wahoo, 2 Kingfish, 2 Barracuda, and 1 Dolphin. That was a fun day in anybody's book.
When we arrived at the Marina channel, I had a good time getting to know Ryan and Caroline better. As Devon cleaned and bagged the catch, Caroline hung out at the boat with me as I cleaned up. We said our goodbyes and I told Jon that I bet the kids, particularly Caroline, wouldn't make it to the hotel. He laughed! 15 minutes after he left, I got a text with this picture embedded in it.
That is what it's all about. Paying it forward! Take the time, in this rat race we call life, to take your kids fishing. It's an excellent way to spend quality time together. You will love it and they will love you for it!!!
Capt. Jim
The BEAST

This is how the intensity cubes now work:
- We have a series of 50,000 high quality random numbers from random.org
- Each time the game engine generates a random intensity cube, the next number is read in sequence from the series (e.g. in a 3v1 attack 4 numbers are read sequentially)
- When the last number in the series is read, we "rewind" and continue with the first number in the series
The advantages are twofold:
- Each individual number in the series is used for both attacker and defender, so our intensity cubes cannot be biased for either side.
- The series is stored in memory so the dice perform much faster. This makes a huge difference when auto-assault is used with large numbers of troops on both sides.
An interesting note - as of June 2010 Conquer Club processes 1,000,000 assaults each day!

AKRON, Ohio — An Amish girl with leukemia spent time at a natural cancer treatment center in Central America after she left home with her parents in Ohio to avoid being forced to resume chemotherapy treatments, the girl's grandfather said.
Sarah Hershberger, who recently turned 11, her parents and the couple's baby daughter now are in hiding in the United States, Isaac Keim said.
The family left the small Amish community where they live in rural northeast Ohio just days before a state appeals court appointed a guardian in October to take over medical decisions for Sarah, said Keim, who told the Akron Beacon Journal that he accompanied them to the unnamed clinic.
The Hershbergers have been fighting doctors at Akron's Children's Hospital in court for months after the parents decided to halt the treatments because they were making Sarah sick.
Doctors say her leukemia is treatable, but say she will die within a year without chemotherapy. The hospital sought to force treatment after the family opted to try natural medicines, such as herbs and vitamins.
The family has appealed the court decision that gave an attorney who's also a registered nurse limited guardianship over Sarah. They don't plan on returning until the ruling is reversed.
"What kind of gift would that be, if we could get this resolved and they can come back home without a fear of being in contempt of court or having their child snatched away," Keim said. "We're praying every day that this thing can be resolved and get their lives back together."
The Hershberger's five other children are staying with community members near their farm outside the village of Spencer in Medina County, about 35 miles southwest of Cleveland.
Keim said that CT scans and blood tests show that the natural treatments are working. He said she is cancer-free.
"She's a vibrant, healthy girl," Keim said.
The Amish are deeply religious and shun many facets of modern life, but they don't reject modern medicine.
Andy Hershberger said this past summer that the family agreed to begin two years of chemotherapy for Sarah last spring but stopped treatment in June because it was making her extremely sick.
Officials at Akron's Children's Hospital have said they are morally and legally obligated to make sure the girl receives proper care. They said the girl's illness, lymphoblastic lymphoma, is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but there is a high survival rate with treatment.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e
- 1 Live notes & install instructions
- 2 Preface
- 3 Configuration Notes
- 4 Known Issues
- 5 Pre-install
- 6 Installation Notes
- 7 First Boot - System update and configuration
Live notes & install instructions
I've made good progress on getting the x100e working and all hotkeys are working, it's stable. There are only a few issues that are still being ironed out. I've been using gdocs for a scratch pad and if you want to see the current status of my notes (rough as they are) see: http://ethanschoonover.com/x100e
Note that once I iron things out (particularly on the power management front) I'll do a bit of editing and post the final content here.
The Lenovo Thinkpad x100e is the first netbook-form factor unit in the Thinkpad series and makes an appealing Arch Linux laptop. Key features:
- excellent keyboard
- solid build quality
- easily accessible system components (disk, ram, wifi/wwan PCI slots)
- cheaply available wifi card upgrades (Intel 5100 for 5ghz N support, see caveats below)
- WWAN card availability (can be ordered built in or purchased later, untested in this initial write up)
Possible negatives include:
- The unit does run hot and ejects a steady stream of hot air from the left hand vents. The following write up does not yet include experiments with undervolting or fan/power control which may help address that issue.
- Battery life is not "netbook" class. With a six cell 17+ battery (default when ordered) 2-3 hours are reasonable. With a three cell 17 battery pack, the unit gets about 1.5 hours (at full brightness, wifi up, no power savings, max CPU speed, so this might change with later tweaking).
Configuration Notes
This writeup was done based around a single x100e unit in two specific configurations (two different wifi cards, noted below):
- 40GB SSD (Intel X25-V)
- no WWAN card
- First wifi card: Realtek 8172 (working on 2.4GHz b/g/n)
- Second wifi card: Intel 5100 agn (working on 2.4GHz and 5Ghz b/g/n but 'n' connections drop after 5 minutes at time of this writeup - Sept. 2010 - Intel is working on a fix and there is a stopgap workaround to turn off 'n' functionality)
Known Issues
Prior to kernel 2.6.35 there were several issues that plagued Linux installation on the x100e, including audio jack issues, wifi driver problems, display issues.
Some of these remain but for the most part a straight Arch install with kernel 2.6.35 or later on the x100e gets most things working almost immediately. Wifi continues to need love and care to bring up successfully, but once configured seems relatively reliable on both the Realtek wifi card.
Thinkwiki reports that wifi should work out of the box on kernels 2.6.32-22.33 but this did not seem to be the case as of 2.6.35. Others may have better success with out of the box support and if so please note here.
If using the Intel 5100 agn wifi card (must be the lenovo part, FRU 43Y6517, as the BIOS detects non lenovo cards and will fail to boot) the card will work out of the box 2.6.35 or later (possibly eariler kernels as well, but those weren't tested in this writeup).
Poweroff stalls unless clocksource-jiffies kernel parameter is set. There may be other work arounds or kernel parameters that would address this. noalpic-timer parameter also works but results in failure to bring CPUs up to high res mode (though I assume jiffies prevents high res mode too... out of my depth here and will be researching more).
Upon resume from suspend to ram, there are rare incidents of the filesystem not mounting properly and being set to a read-only state due to a journaling failure at the time of suspend. This seems to be addressed in a patch submitted for inclusion in kernel 2.6.36-rc4. It is unclear whether this is related to the x100e alone, the Intel X25-V alone, or the specific combination of unit/drive. It is rare enough in the installation described here that no steps have been taken to patch ahead of expected availabilty of kernel 2.6.36.
For this successful installation, the net install ISO (2010.05, current at time of initial writeup) was used. Many of the issues that the x100e faced with 2.6 kernels have been addressed as of kernel 2.6.35. There is no optical drive in the x100e so you'll need to use a USB key or network boot. See Putting installation media on a USB key or the Beginners Guide for more details on booting off a USB key.
Installation Notes
Unless otherwise specificed, defaults were used throughout the Arch setup process.
Partitioning (SSD Specific Notes)
In this writeup, the Windows hard drive was removed and replaced with a solid state disk (Intel X25-V 40GB). See the excellent Solid State Drives article for details on how best to set up this drive. The working procedure used was to manually partition the drive prior to entering the Arch setup process. At the command line:
# fdisk -H 224 -S 56 /dev/sda
The head and sector values are designed to align with the expected erase block size of the SSD for optimal performance, but there are alternatives. see the above linked SSD article for more details.
Four new primary partitions were created to the following specifications. The root partition may be (likely is?) too large but this was a first-time Arch install and bigger rather than smaller seemed a safe bet.
partition purpose (to be assigned later) type size fs type (later) 1 /boot 83/Linux +100M ext2 2 / 83/Linux +18G ext4 3 swap 82/Linux +2G swap 4 /home 83/Linux remaining ext4
Filesystem creation (SSD Specific Notes)
The filesystem creation as follows for this example (stripe-width to align to erase block size, as was the H/S specification for fdisk above):
# mke2fs -t ext2 stripe-width=32 -L boot /dev/sda1 # mke2fs -t ext4 stripe-width=32 -L root /dev/sda2 # mkswap-L swap /dev/sda3 # mke2fs -t ext4 stripe-width=32 -L home /dev/sda4
Note that the labels as included here using the -L parameter are optional but if set should then be automatically detected and applied to the GRUB configuration. GRUB2 does not detect/apply these labels automatically (defaulting to UUID).
Arch Setup - Prepare Hard Drives
During the "Prepare Hard Drives" setup in Arch setup:
- Manually configure block devices, filesystems and mount points
- Setup will detect existing partitions, select "yes" to use as starting point
- Select partitions in sequence and do not recreate filesystems
- Match filesystem types to partitions along with intended mount points
Arch Setup - Select Packages
No additional packages need to be selected, though the "Wireless Tools" package can be installed at this time. The Realtek wifi driver needs special care and handling, and there will be some manual changes required to get it working later.
Arch Setup - Configure System
The only change needed during initial setup is hostname. There will be some other modules added later.
Again, see the SSD article for more details on this. If using an SSD as configured above, the follow ing fstab changes will optimize performance/minimize writes:
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 2
Arch Setup - Install Bootloader
GRUB or GRUB2 both work fine here. Keep it simple, go with GRUB unless you have a specific need for GRUB2.
Continue with system configuration after rebooting from internal disk.
First Boot - System update and configuration
System updates and installation
Standard stuff. Get curl in preparation for AUR and the Realtek wifi drivers if needed.
# pacman -Syu # pacman -S curl
Wireless network device
If you find that you can't make use of your wireless interface due to the following error:
# ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
And you see the interface as "Hard blocked" by rfkill:
# rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes
Try these steps:
- Reboot.

Categorizing junk
19 comments:
Oh, Miki! I've been trying to do this for months before moving in with Brien. I STILL have some boxes of things in my closet. What I've done is taken all the things I have duplicates of and either gotten rid of those, or given them to someone else, or made them into something for someone (a card or a letter.) That has still left me with a lot of things collected, so I'm trying to file them into folders with categories labeled on them. It's taking a while!
- October 18, 2010 at 7:45 AM
You should make albums for them! I collect bits of ribbon. People always give me ribbon and I just collect it in the hope that I will find a use for it one day! I have tons of little bits here and there! I can't bear to throw any out, even those skinny little bits that come on clothes tags! x

I collect things like that too. I'm constantly keeping pieces of paper or tags thinking I'll use them in some cool card or something. I think when you're crafty minded you just never know. I've thrown stuff away and years later been like, "oh man, I wish I still had that thing..it would look great on this." California is worth getting rid of a few things though. I'm jealous! :) I love it there.

Colobus guereza
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Colobus guereza Rüppell, 1835
|Infra-specific Taxa Assessed:
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Mittermeier, R.A., Rylands, A.B. and Wilson D.E. 2013. Handbook of the Mammals of the World: Volume 3 Primates. Lynx Edicions, Barcelona.
|Taxonomic Notes:
|The subspecies classification of C. guereza is not well resolved (Grubb et al. 2003); this species account provisionally follows the arrangement of Groves (2001) and Grubb et al. (2003) in recognizing eight subspecies.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Kingdon, J., Struhsaker, T., Oates, J.F., Hart, J. & Groves, C.P.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Least Concern as although locally threatened in parts of its range, this widespread species is not thought to be declining fast enough to place it in a higher category of threat.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This widespread species ranges from the area of the Donga River region of Nigeria and the Yabassi District of Cameroon, eastwards across the Oubangui River from the Central African Republic to the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and then discontinuously eastwards to southern Sudan, Uganda, the Kenyan and Ethiopian highlands, and Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru and the Kahé District of Tanzania (Groves in press).
There are eight subspecies:
The subspecies C. g. occidentalis occurs from eastern Nigeria, Cameroon and Gabon, eastwards to south-western Sudan and Uganda.
The nominate C. g. guereza is found in forested areas of the Ethiopian highlands west of the Rift Valley and down into the lowland reaches along the Awash River, the Omo River and in the Blue Nile gorge.
C. g. gallarum is restricted to the Ethiopian highlands east of the Rift Valley.
The subspecies C. g. dodingae is endemic to the Didinga Hills in south-eastern Sudan.
C. g. matschiei is found in Kenya west of the Rift Valley, and also in some of the forests within the Rift, west to Mount Elgon (Kenya and Uganda), and south to the Ngorongoro Crater and the Grumeti River in Tanzania.
C. g. percivali is restricted to the Matthews Range of Kenya.
C. g. kikuyuensis is known only from the Ngong Escarpment, Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountain Range, Kenya.
C. g. caudatus is present on montane forests of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru, and the adjoining forests at slightly lower altitudes (Kahe; Momela Lakes in Arusha National Park), Tanzania and Kenya.
|Countries occurrence:

|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|A very widespread species that is still locally adundant in many areas.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found in lowland and montane tropical moist forest, and gallery forest. They are often common in secondary or degraded forest. Animals live in small family groups.
|Major Threat(s):
|This species is threatened in parts of its range by habitat loss through deforestation for timber, conversion to exotic forest plantations and conversion to agricultural land (e.g., von Hippel et al. 2000). Hunting may also be severely impacting populations in the western part of the species range; Mwenja (2007) commented, in passing, that this subspecies is killed for its skins by local pastoralists in and around the Matthews Range Forest Reserve.
|Conservation Actions:
|This species is listed on Appendix II of CITES and on Class B of the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. It occurs in a number of protected areas. Further taxonomic work is needed to assess the validity of the various described subspecies.
|Kingdon, J., Struhsaker, T., Oates, J.F., Hart, J. & Groves, C.P. 2008. Colobus guereza. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2008: e.T5143A11116447. . Downloaded on 25 September 2018.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress' Iran hawks may have given up for now on new nuclear sanctions against Tehran.
But Republicans and Democrats want Iran to know more economic pressure is coming if Iran doesn't reach a comprehensive nuclear agreement with world powers this year.
Eighty-three senators have signed a letter to President Barack Obama outlining their demands. They tell him to push for a final deal that dismantles Iran's heavy water reactor at Arak and eliminates any uranium path toward a nuclear bomb.
And they say Iran must understand a diplomatic collapse would mean increased oil and trade sanctions.
While Obama hailed last year's interim nuclear pact with Tehran, many in Congress were critical. Obama staved off a new U.S. sanctions push from Congress against Iran that risked undermining negotiations.

Elizabeth Warren leads Scott Brown by 6 points in new poll
Elizabeth Warren holds a 6-point lead over US Senator Scott Brown in a new poll released today by a Democratic-leaning firm.
Warren, a Democrat, leads Brown, a Republican, 50 percent to 44 percent, according to the survey by Public Policy Polling.
Warren has led Brown in six of the last nine public polls taken in the race, which is among the most hotly contested and expensive Senate contests in the country.
The new poll suggested that Warren's argument that a Brown victory could put Republicans in control of the Senate may be resonating with voters. According to the poll, 52 percent of Massachusetts voters want Democrats in control of the Senate, compared with 35 percent who want to see the GOP in the majority.
The poll also found that both Brown and Warren have seen their popularity dip amid a barrage of negative ads. About 49 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of Brown, compared with 42 percent who hold an unfavorable opinion, a drop from the firm's last poll in mid-September that found the senator with a 55 percent to 35 percent favorability rating.
Warren has a 49 percent to 45 percent favorability rating, down from 51 percent and 43 percent in the September poll.
In the presidential race, President Obama leads Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, though by the smallest margin this year, suggesting Obama has suffered a post-debate slump in this Democratic bastion, just as he has nationally.
The poll found 55 percent of Massachusetts voters support Obama, compared with 41 percent who favor Romney, the state's former governor who has based his campaign in Boston. Obama held an 18-point lead in the September poll.
The poll also found that Massachusetts voters are inclined to legalize assisted suicide and medical marijuana by approving two controversial ballot questions in November.
About 56 percent of voters support the assisted suicide referendum, compared with 30 percent who oppose the measure. Voters back the medical marijuana question by 57 percent to 31 percent.
Public Policy Polling used automated telephone calls to survey 1,051 likely Massachusetts voters from Oct. 9 to Oct. 11. The poll has a margin of errror of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Arugula Salad with Feta and Fresh Tomato-Balsamic Vinaigrette
This Arugula Salad with Feta and Fresh Tomato-Balsamic Vinaigrette is a gorgeous red-and-green side dish idea that's low-carb, low-glycemic, gluten-free, and South Beach Diet Phase One.
Right now it's all about Carb Conscious Thanksgiving Recipes around here, and this Arugula Salad with Feta and Fresh Tomato-Balsamic Vinaigrette I made recently struck me as something that would be easy but dazzling for the big turkey day dinner. It features arugula, something you might not be able to sneak past a picky eater, but they won't be eating salad anyway, right?
The dressing was inspired by the few cherry tomatoes I had left that were begging to be used, and the fresh tomato flavor was wonderful. Complex flavor, but easy and completely delicious; that's my kind of recipe.
Arugula Salad with Feta and Fresh Tomato-Balsamic Vinaigrette
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
5 oz. package baby arugula (I love Earthbound Farms baby arugula)
2-3 oz. crumbled Feta cheese
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
(this is about twice as much as needed for the salad, but it's good on lots of things)
1 cup diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
3 T good quality balsamic vinegar
5 T extra virgin olive oil
While arugula is soaking, cut enough cherry tomatoes or tomatoes to make 1 cup. Put tomatoes into bowl of immersion blender (or container of blender), add 3 T balsamic vinegar, and blend until tomatoes are completely pureed. Pour tomato/balsamic mixture into a small bowl and whisk in 5 T olive oil, a little at a time until dressing is well emulsified.
To serve, put arugula into large plastic bowl and toss with about 1/4 C of the dressing. Arrange arugula on four individual serving plates. Sprinkle desired amount of feta cheese over each salad, then drizzle about 1 T more dressing over each salad. Grind black pepper over and serve.

Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Fifty-one seconds. That's the time separating goals by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall in the second period, and it proved to be the difference in the Edmonton Oilers' 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Thanksgiving night.
Ilya Bryzgalov, making his first start as a member of the Oilers, turned away all 33 Nashville shots to record his 31st career shutout.
"It was great. Shutouts are always fun," Bryzgalov said.
Edmonton head coach Dallas Eakins was obviously pleased with Bryzgalov's performance.
"Check marks across the board for him tonight. He did a great job," Eakins said.
Nugent-Hopkins redirected a perfect slap-pass from defenseman Jeff Petry 5:32 into the middle stanza. Hall then completed a 2-on-1 rush by collecting a feed from Sam Gagner and slipping a backhander through the five-hole of Nashville goaltender Marek Mazanec at 6:23.
Jordan Eberle added an empty-net goal for the Oilers, who have won four of their last five games.
Mazanec stopped 25 shots in defeat. The Predators were coming off consecutive wins.
"We talked before the game that we needed to get in the hard areas and throw some pucks, but obviously we didn't play hard enough in those hard areas," Predators head coach Barry Trotz said.
Game Notes
Predators defenseman Shea Weber left the game after taking a puck to the face late in the second period. He did not return with what the team announced was an upper-body injury ... Nashville was 0-for-2 on the power play ... The Predators have now been outscored 29-19 in the second period this season.

From west to east, see the best of the United States
Discover a chain of magnificent national parks in California, Arizona and New Mexico, Then travel through the southern stylings of New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville and on to the glitz and glamour of New York City. It's almost hard to believe that such diversity can be found in one nation. Indulge in nachos in Texas, gumbo in New Orleans and a shot of wheatgrass in California and meet city slickers in Times Square, Elvis impersonators in Vegas and members of the Navajo Tribe in Monument Valley and forever be confounded by the extreme diversity found in each and every state of this great nation.
The flexibility of this trip allows you to do what you want, when you want, without the restrictions of an overly packed itinerary
Enjoy a full day to explore Washington DC. There's lots to see and do in the US capital, and most of it is free. Visit the White House, Capitol Hill and the National Mall, and feel small next to the statue of Abraham Lincoln
The cities of Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans are notorious for their rich music and nightlife scenes. See live performances of blues, jazz, country and rock in celebrated musical venues
Towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, redwood forests and epic night skies - Yosemite National Park feels like utopia. While other tour groups breeze through in a day, you'll spend two nights in the park, allowing for a full day of hiking and exploring
For many, Death Valley conjures up images of a flat and barren wasteland. Be surprised by the park's ethereal landscapes of sand dunes, water-sculpted canyons, extinct volcanic craters and, in the spring, fields of wildflowers
The iconic sandstone formations of Monument Valley have played backdrop to many a cowboy western. Learn about Navajo culture and history during a jeep tour of the park, before spending a unique night in a traditional hogan hut
This is a participatory trip. That's a fancy way of saying you're not just along for the ride – you're part of a team! You know the phrase 'the more you put in, the more you get out'. Well that's extra true on this trip. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and help out with camp activities like food prep and washing up. It's all about giving your new travel mates a hand – everyone knows there's nothing worse than trying to put up a tent on your own!
That teamwork also extends to our optional food kitty of approximately US$10 per day, run to cover the cost of meals. This kitty saves you worrying about stuff like where to get food or what exactly sales tax is, and actually helps keep your costs down. Instead of paying individually as you go, it means we can bulk purchase items and cook our own food – though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional pizza night!

The United States is a world of endless possibilities – that's why our Basix trips are designed so they fit together as (not quite endless) combinations. That means while you might just be starting your trip, some of your new travel mates may have been travelling together for a week or more (and so have some great tips for you). You can see how our trips fit together and all the different possible combinations at www.intrepidtravel.com/brochures. Simply click view/download on the North America brochure and look at the combo map on page 12.
Traffic in and out of the big cities can be hectic, especially during the holiday period. There may be delays, so be prepared to take part in car games to keep you entertained.
You'll be travelling in a van with a group of travellers, so conditions may feel a little cramped. This is all part of the adventure, however, and you might even make some long-term friends.
The USA is a big country. Distances between destinations may be longer than what you're used to, especially if you're coming from Europe. There are many long days of driving, so expect to spend a lot of time in the van.
Although our vans do have air conditioning, it has to work pretty hard to keep a full group cool. Expect to feel hot during summer and cold at other times of the year, especially at night. Please consider the season and research the weather conditions to determine the best time to travel for you.
From the steep hiking trails of the various national parks to the towering hills of San Francisco, this trip involves a lot of walking. Please ensure you bring sturdy walking shoes and comfortable clothes. To make the most of the trip, it's best if you have at least a moderate level of fitness.
This trip only allows for one night in Nashville and one night in Memphis. Although you'll get more or less a full day to explore these great cities, you might have to move quickly to see everything on your to-do list.
Death Valley in the summer is extremely hot and dry. It does hold the record as the hottest place on earth after all. Hiking at this time of year isn't recommended. Although our vans do have air conditioning, it has to work pretty hard to keep a full group cool so expect to be hot. Sometimes in mid-summer we may be unable to visit the Valley itself if we feel that the heat presents a safety risk. At other times of the year, it might be quite cold, especially at night. Please consider the season and research the weather conditions to determine the best time to travel for you. Remember to come prepared with adequate clothing.
Some travellers have reported feeling unsafe in San Francisco due to the large number of homeless people. Unfortunately homelessness is a fact of life in San Francisco and the problem is widespread throughout the city. It is very likely that you will see homeless people on the street during your time in the city, and while it can appear intimidating, they are mostly harmless.

2011 Nissan Titan ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Power and capability in a full-size pickup.
The Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup with lots of power, ample capabilities and a level of refinement for price that adds to its appeal. There are two body styles: The King Cab has rearward-opening rear doors. The Crew Cab is a conventional four-door configuration and offers a choice of short or long cargo beds. The only engine is a very powerful 5.6-liter V8 that makes 317 horsepower; it is matched to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Titan is available with two-wheel or four-wheel drive and has a maximum towing capacity of 9,500 pounds.
On the outside the Titan has a rugged, purposeful look. Inside, you'll find an attractive, user-friendly interior. There's room for a family of five or four burly fishermen. Titans range from utilitarian models with crank windows to leather-lined cabs befitting a luxury SUV.
The strong V8 engine gets the job done. Fuel economy is EPA-rated at 13/18 mpg City/Highway with two-wheel drive. The Titan has the robustness and ability to deal with tough jobs and heavy loads, such as pulling a toy hauler full of dirt bikes and sand buggies.
The 2011 Titan carries over with minor changes: A 4x4 tailgate badge has been added to the 4WD versions. The other changes are all made to packaging and the model names to parallel other Nissan products: S replaces XE as the entry level, SV replaces SE as the mainline model, and SL replaces LE as the top-line model. Originally launched as a 2004 model, Titan was last re-engineered for the 2008 model year and was upgraded for 2010.
If you need a full-size pickup with power to perform and deal with heavy loads, and with plenty of room inside, and you'd also like the comfort and convenience of the Titan's level of refinement, then it definitely should be on your shopping list.
The 2011 Nissan Titan comes in 14 versions, sorted by cab style, cargo bed length, two-wheel or four-wheel drive (about $2800 more than 2WD), and trim level.
The King Cab, with its rearward-opening doors, is available in S, SV, and PRO-4X trim levels. The Crew Cab, with its full four-door configuration, is available in S, SV, PRO-4X, and SL trim. The PRO-4X models are available only with four-wheel drive; all the others offer a choice of two- or four-wheel drive. King Cab versions have a cargo bed that measures 79.1 inches long. Crew Cab models offer a cargo bed of 67.3 inches. Crew Cab SV is available with a long bed that measures 87.0 inches.
Titan King Cab S ($26,820) comes with cloth seating for six, full instrumentation, cruise control, split fold-up rear seats, 18-inch wheels. Titan Crew Cab S ($29,370) includes power windows and door locks. The S Popular Equipment Package for King Cab ($1,090) and Crew Cab ($1,140) adds alloy wheels, overhead center console, cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls, sliding rear window on King Cab, Class IV hitch receiver and seven-pin wiring harness, along with pre-wiring for a trailer brake controller. Accessories include a utility accessory package ($345), splashguards ($115), rear bumper step assist ($225), under-seat storage ($150), iPod interface ($270); and bedliner ($340).
Titan SV King Cab ($28,820) and Titan SV Crew Cab ($31,020) upgrade with alloy wheels, chrome bumpers, upholstery and seating upgrades, a CD changer, power mirrors, tailgate assist, sliding rear window, and conveniences such as remote keyless entry and illuminated visor mirrors. A long bed for SV Crew Cab is $450. The SV Value Truck Package ($1,350) includes cloth captain's chairs, eight-way power driver's seat, fog lights, Bluetooth, floor mats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, rear proximity sensors, and other features. The SV Popular Equipment Package ($1,140) features interior trim upgrades. The SV Premium Utility Package ($1,910) includes a Rockford Fosgate audio system with 6CD changer and eight speakers, XM Satellite Radio, power-adjustable pedals, HomeLink garage-door opener, dual power and heated extendable tow mirrors, and a lot of utility features, including the Utili-track Bed Channel system, spray-on bedliner, lockable bedside storage, front tow hooks, a lower axle ratio for better pulling power, and other worthwhile items. The SV Utility Package ($950) includes the cargo-bed-related items from the Premium Utility Package.
Titan PRO-4X King Cab ($34,550) and Crew Cab ($36,750) come standard with four-wheel drive and larger, more aggressive tires, off-road suspension tuning, 3.36:1 axle gears, electronic locking rear differential, skid plates, body-color bumpers, unique upholstery and instruments, and double sun visors. The PRO-4X is similar to the SV in level of trim. Options include the Premium Utility Package ($1,560) with Rockford Fosgate sound system and bed equipment, and a Luxury Package ($2,230) that includes leather upholstery, heated front seats and memory for the driver's seat, pedals and outside mirrors. Crew Cab offers a Technology Package ($3,000) of moonroof, navigation, and rear-seat entertainment.
Titan SL Crew Cab ($39,620) features embroidered leather seats, a 350-watt Rockford Fosgate sound system with XM radio, dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable pedals, woodgrain trim, Bluetooth, double overhead consoles, 20-inch wheels, fog lamps, and chrome power folding heated mirrors. Options include the Technology Package ($3,000), which includes a power moonroof and navigation, and the SL Max Utility Package ($500), which adds towing and utility enhancements.
Safety features include frontal airbags, side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags, active front head restraints, and electronic stability control with traction control.
Everything about the appearance of the Nissan Titan is big and bold, from the expanse of chrome on the bumper and grille to the creased fenders. It fills up its space on the road and you won't mistake it for something else. This is a big, brawny pickup and looks it.
The Titan delivers a high level of function. Maximum payload tops 2,000 pounds on certain versions. Most Titans with tow or Utility packages are rated to tow 9,100- 9,500 pounds. The King Cab 2WD is rated for 7,400 pounds. Available towing features include extendable dual-element mirrors, a transmission temperature gauge, lower axle ratio, and other items. Also available is a cargo track retention system (bed sides and floor). An innovative storage box in the rear fender is ideal for wet tow straps, chains or tie-down straps. The locking tailgate is damped and assisted for easy open and close. This truck has been built for work.
King Cab versions have a cargo bed that measures 79.1 inches long (almost seven feet). Crew Cab models offer a shorter cargo bed, due to their longer body length, of 67.3 inches, which is a little less than six feet. The Crew Cab SV trim level is the only one available with a choice of a longer cargo bed that measures 87.0 inches, which is slightly over seven feet. However, the longer cargo bed comes with a wheelbase that is also about 20 inches longer, at 159.5 inches compared to 139.8 inches for the Crew Cab with the shorter bed, and that longer wheelbase could definitely hinder maneuverability in tighter spots.
The cabin serves very well for truck duty yet with comfort and convenience. It's refined and is in every way a nice place to be for traveling, whether it's to the job site or towing the boat to the lake.
Dash and door panels are easy to wipe off plastic yet do not give the impression of cost-cutting in materials. The instrument layout provides complete information and has a coherent, sophisticated look. On PRO-4X models the gauges are white-faced and sporty. SL models have enough wood-like acreage to fit in a luxury utility. The Titan can be equipped with a six-person bench seat interior or with captain's chairs in front for a five-seat capacity. Our only complaint, and it's a little one, is the tilt-and-telescoping steering column adjustment that is spring-loaded and requires you to tilt-and-telescope the wheel with one hand while the other holds the release.
You sit high and comfortable in the Titan, not squeezed but not loosely floating about. Visibility is excellent to all corners, although shorter drivers may not like the large base on the windshield pillar. The view rearward is very good, especially with the tow mirrors. An optional rearview camera is available and we found it eased trailer hitching.
The center dash section has controls for audio, climate, navigation, and switching duty (tow mode, VDC-off, differential lock, etc.) with an integrated look. It looks good and easily provides plenty of space for things like the dual-zone climate control on SL models.
All controls are logical and sensibly arranged, although traditional pickup truck buyers who go for six seats will have to adapt to wipers and shifter on the same side of the wheel. With deep bins in the center console and smaller ones along the sides, big door and seatback pockets, and generous cup holders, you'll find a place to put virtually anything.
Entry and exit is simple. Running boards are available if you value deportment above ground clearance, but we often find running boards more in the way than helpful.
The rear doors on King Cabs swing almost 170 degrees for easy access and there's room back there for six-footers on short-to-moderate-length trips. Crew Cab rear seats are downright spacious and eclipsed only by the Toyota Tundra CrewMax.
You won't see any of the noise-reduction materials inside (unless you're under the dash installing a brake controller with the tow-package pigtail), but if you've ever been in an early (pre-2008) Titan you will notice the current models are much quieter and smoother.
Driving Impression
The Nissan Titan has been recognized for its stout drivetrain. It comes standard with a 5.6-liter V8 and 5-speed automatic transmission. Although it doesn't have as much horsepower as others larger V8 choices or Dodge's Hemi, it's great on torque. We think a Titan will outrun many pickups and deliver competitive mileage to similar configurations; only the Tundra's 5.7-liter/6-speed automatic, Ford's 6.2 or twin-turbo 3.5/6-speed automatic and GM's 6.2-liter/6-speed automatic combinations challenge it. The exhaust keeps the V8 rumble so adored by truck buyers while eliminating the drone that could wear on long highway trips.
Fuel economy is not great, but it's generally within one mpg of the competition and your driving style is easily responsible for three times that amount. The EPA ratings are 13 mpg City, 18 mpg Highway with two-wheel drive and 12/17 mpg with four-wheel drive. If you want a vehicle with this level of capability, it will deliver this level of fuel economy.
We found the transmission responds smoothly and crisply as conditions dictate. A proper gated floor shift allows direct access to any gear without pressing any buttons, and a comfortable grip and good location adjacent to the driver's leg encourages one to use it.
Four-wheel drive and low range are electrically shifted by a rotary dash knob. The electric-locking rear differential (PRO-4X only) is more effective in severe terrain than the all-wheel electronic traction control of regular 4WD Titans and most competitors. There is no automatic 4WD setting for on-road use, but if the electronic traction aids and common sense aren't enough perhaps you should be in 4WD high range.
Pickup trucks aren't held in high regard for ride comfort or handling prowess yet they have made strides in both. The longer wheelbase only betters cruising comfort but even the short-wheelbase Titans will generate no complaints, at least not from anyone who knows what a ton of payload means. Off-road biased suspension tuning with lots of travel, Rancho shocks built specifically for it, and large tires on the PRO-4X contribute to ride softness without giving up control, while the 20-inch wheel/tire combo on SL models offers crisper turn-in for cornering but transmits bumps more.
The brakes have significant swept area, a prime indicator of braking capacity, and the Titan has performed well in braking performance tests.
The 2011 Nissan Titan boasts a robust powertrain with responsive acceleration, good brakes, a comfortable cabin and plenty of feature choices. But pickups are all about carrying or towing stuff and the Titan will get those jobs done, with payload ratings that reach above 2,000 pounds, and good towing performance.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks indexes are lower in light trading on Wall Street at midday.
Strong earnings from Abercrombie & Fitch are being offset by a gloomy report on retail spending from the government.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 55 points at 12,701 at noon Wednesday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped four points to 1,370 and the Nasdaq composite was down three points at 2,881.
Abercrombie & Fitch, maker of clothing for teenagers, was among the standout stocks, jumping 27 percent after reporting that its net income soared in the most recent quarter.
The strong results were tempered by a report from the Commerce Department saying that Americans cut back on spending in October.

I recently bought a used D4000 drum scanner in very good condition for scanning my 4x5 slides. The big problem is the software, or lack of. I run Windows XP SP2 on the scan-computer but can't find any driver for the scanner. The first thing that can't be alright is the fact that Windows lists 9 scanners. Would be really neat if I actually had 9 but there's only one standing on my table. The second problem are the drivers, where to get them?
I've searched on the Atzek homepage but only found a new firmware and no drivers for Win XP. I downloaded the Trident Software just to test the scanner, but since I don't own a license for the software, it runs only in demo mode and can't save the file. The scanner works fine under Trident.
But I'd like to use Silverfast since I used it now and then with a Minolta and Epson scanner and found it really comfortable to work with. But the D4000 demo-version I downloaded doesn't communicate with the scanner, most likely because there are no drivers installed.
So, calling all D4000 users, what do you use to operate your scanner? Is buying the Trident software the only way to go or are there some drivers/tricks avaliable to get it working with Silverfast?
thanks in advance

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first female director of the U.S. Secret Service, Julia Pierson, was sworn in at the White House on Wednesday during a short ceremony that marked a historic shift for the agency charged with protecting the president.
Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath of office to Pierson, with President Barack Obama standing at their side.
"Obviously, she's breaking the mold in terms of directors of the agency, and I think that people are all extraordinarily proud of her," Obama told reporters at the end of the ceremony.
She has extraordinary qualifications, and I think a lot of people who have worked with Julia know how dedicated, how professional, how committed she is, and I think are absolutely certain that she's going to thrive in this job," he said.
Biden, who has a reputation for making occasional gaffes, said the agents who protect him were "excited that we picked her."
The Secret Service has been criticized for having an insular, male-dominated culture, and its reputation was tarnished by a 2012 scandal involving its agents and prostitutes in Colombia.

Artist Statement
My new work deals with nostalgia and what we remember, drawing mainly from 50s and 60s clothing with some forays into other periods. I have tried to create personalities without the person and to give the pieces humorous and, sometimes, heroic stances. The bronze firefighter's coat was completed after the events of September 11th. At this point, I am primarily interested in historical representations, the main focus being the Civil Rights Movement and other events that have remained vivid and poignant for me.
Elizabeth Eckford (one of the teenagers who desegregated Little Rock High School), Martin - 1963, The Arrest (based on photographs of Martin Luther King arrested in Birmingham), and Dog Attack (based on photographs of a protester attacked by police dogs) are from the Civil Rights Series.
A couple of years ago, I read a novel by Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet. On page 23 of the 1996 edition she writes:
"I remember your white flannels better than I can remember you. I remember all the things I felt about the white flannels but whoever made them walk about has totally disappeared.
So you remember me as a pink linen dress with no sleeves…."
I received my BA from Bard College and my MFA in Sculpture from Rhode Island School of Design. For the past ten years, I have taught art in public school, currently at the high school level. In 2001, I was an ISC Outstanding K-12 Art Teacher. In 1998, I received a Geraldine R. Dodge Artist/Educator Fellowship. I have also had two NJ State Council on the Arts fellowships - one in 1984 in Sculpture and one in 1989 in Graphics.

Super League: "Rules? What
Three years ago, Canterbury Bulldogs were caught breaching the NRL salary cap by A$400,000 for the 2002 season, and by A$600,000 for the 2001 season. The Bulldogs? punishment was harsh ? the loss of 37 competition points, and a fine of A$500,000.
There is no question as to the intended purposes of the salary cap: to ensure that all clubs have equal financial access to talent, whilst ensuring that the clubs spend just a sustainable amount on player salaries, thus preventing the spectacle of a club going into receivership?
?wait a moment ? so much for that thought.
A few weeks ago, in the English Super League, London Broncos were doing better than they had in years ? they destroyed Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 72-8, running in six tries in each half. Then came the announcement ? Broncos were nearly ?3 million in debt, and were about to go into receivership ? with half of the debt owed to Inland Revenue, it would take some very fancy footwork to avoid folding the club.
At an emergency meeting of the Super League clubs this month, the other eleven sides agreed to allow a new company to take over the Broncos, write off the debt without penalty, and not lose a single competition point ? contingent upon the Broncos agreeing to six conditions, which have not been made public by Super League. The chairman of Broncos, Nic Cartwright, told BBC Sport, "We're not bleating at all. We totally understand the need for the conditions and we will respect them and follow them in full." [1]
But, as BBC Sport rugby league analyst Dave Woods noted on the BBC Sport website, ??how did London build up ?3m of debts in the first place?? Since there were no salary cap breaches, Woods speculated on several possible causes, such as high ground rents, low attendance (London is a traditional union stronghold), or spendthrift administration. [2] But, given the silence of Super League and the Broncos, we just don?t know for certain.
However, we do know this ? the conditions do not include a loss of competition points for Broncos. Considering the comments of Bradford Bulls chairman Chris Caisley last week, speaking to the BBC, this likely did not go down easily at the emergency meeting:
"A club that has left the Inland Revenue with a ?1.5m debt and moved its players to a new debt-free company gets royally applauded in the media for surmounting its financial difficulties. The business is then allowed to freely compete in the Super League competition and to do so without penalty.
Bizarrely, not only is the new entrant not penalised, it is 'given' the four competition points which were earned by the old club! Such is a snapshot of a week in the life of the London Broncos." [3]
As Woods points out, there is another governance issue in Super League bruited here ? a very crucial one to understanding the problem the Broncos? receivership caused. He writes, ?The future of the Broncos was decided by the other 11 Super League clubs. Imagine if several of those clubs decided they would vote London out, simply to ensure that they themselves weren't relegated this season.? [2]
That could have easily happened ? this season, two Super League clubs will be relegated, instead of one, because of the entry of the French side, UTC Perpignan, next season. If London was forced out of Super League, only one side would have been at risk of relegation.
There is another issue: the fact that the Broncos are the only Super League side outside of the ?M62 Corridor? ? the road from Liverpool to Hull, and the area from which all Super League sides, save Broncos, hail from. If league is going to really grow in England, it must succeed in London, the pundits say.
Could Super League have given Broncos an indulgence from its transgressions, in order to keep a foothold in the largest current single market for rugby league in the world? After all, by not having to pay the ?3 million of debt it owed, one can say Broncos gained a significant advantage over the other Super League sides ? an advantage that makes Bulldogs? sins look quite trivial by comparison.
And I thought the Bulldogs deserved the penalty they got. What of Broncos, then? As Major Hochsteader once said, ?They should be shot, court-martialed, AND sent to the Russian Front!!!?
A bit harsh, perhaps ? but given what Bulldogs went through, Broncos deserve at least that much?.
