Lions-Packers Preview
It didn't take long, but the Green Bay Packers have returned to
the top of the NFC North.
This time, the Packers look to stay there on Sunday night when
they host the free-falling Detroit Lions, who haven't won at
Lambeau Field since Barry Sanders was starring in their
The Lions have lost 20 consecutive games in Green Bay, last
winning there in 1991.
"It probably (means) more to the people who have been here 20
years than us," Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "We just
want to go in there and put a good game together and try to come
out on top."
After falling back into second place with a loss to the New York
Giants on Nov. 25, the Packers (8-4) drew back into a first-place
tie with Chicago on Sunday with a 23-14 win over Minnesota.
"Everything's right in front of us," quarterback Aaron Rodgers
said. "We've got to go win our home games and get a couple wins on
the road."
After finishing 27 of 35 for 286 yards with one touchdown and
one interception against the Vikings, Rodgers will try to improve
on his 7-1 mark all-time versus Detroit.
The loss came at Ford Field in 2010 when he was knocked out in
the first half with a concussion.
Rodgers has thrown for at least two touchdowns in every other
game, including the last meeting on Nov. 18 when he threw a 22-yard
score to Randall Cobb with 1:55 left in a 24-20 win at Detroit.
It appears, however, that Rodgers will lead a banged-up offense
again on Sunday.
Already without right tackle Bryan Bulaga (hip), the offensive
line took another hit on Sunday when backup T.J. Lang went down
with an ankle injury in the second quarter.
Rodgers has already been sacked a league-high 39 times, three
more than all of last season. Detroit sacked Rodgers three times in
their last meeting.
Making matters worse, Green Bay will be without second-leading
receiver Jordy Nelson after he left Sunday's game in the first
quarter with a strained hamstring.
The Packers, though, are hopeful that the signing of Ryan Grant
can bolster the backfield, where Cedric Benson (foot) will miss the
rest of the season and James Starks (knee) is expected to miss
multiple weeks. Grant had 1,000-yard seasons for Green Bay in
The team has struggled to find consistency in the running game,
ranking 11th in the NFC with 105.0 yards per game while scoring a
league-low three touchdowns on the ground.
"Ryan has great history with us, can kind of step right in,"
coach Mike McCarthy said. "I don't see him having any issues
getting ready."
Green Bay isn't likely to have any issues moving the ball
against a Detroit defense that has allowed 69 points and 960 yards
in its last two games.
The Lions (4-8) have lost four straight, dropping the last three
at home despite leading in the fourth quarter in each contest.
Andrew Luck was the latest to break their hearts on Sunday when
he threw a touchdown pass on the final play to give Indianapolis a
35-33 comeback win.
"This is a tough league for tough people, and we'll find out now
who is tough," Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said.
Although he won't be making a second consecutive trip to the
playoffs, Matthew Stafford continues to put up big numbers. He
leads the NFL with 3,742 passing yards after piling up 754 with
four touchdowns in the last two games.
Stafford had a huge day in his last trip to Lambeau, throwing
for a career-high 520 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-41 loss
Jan. 1. Rodgers sat out with the Packers closing the regular season
having wrapped up the NFC's No. 1 seed, but former backup Matt
Flynn threw for 480 yards and six scores.
Calvin Johnson, who had a career-high 244 yards receiving in
that game, had another personal best Sunday with 13 receptions to
go along with 171 yards and a TD.
Johnson will try to set an NFL record on Sunday night with his
sixth straight game with at least 125 yards receiving.
The Lions, however, will be without receivers Ryan Broyles and
Titus Young, who were both placed on injured reserve this week.
Young has been inactive for the last two games after what
Schwartz called "unacceptable" behavior. Broyles tore his right
ACL against the Colts.
Still, Detroit leads the NFC in total yards per game (416.1)
after totaling 976 the past two games and faces a hobbled Green Bay
Safety Charles Woodson has been ruled out for a sixth
consecutive game due to a broken collarbone, and linebacker Clay
Matthews will miss his fifth straight with a hamstring injury.

Family-Size Rooms Adjoining Gigantic Indoor Water Park
The Mall of America is practically its own ecosystem, with more than 500 stores, 50 restaurants, an aquarium, and a 7-acre theme park with roller coasters. The mall is just a shuttle ride away from Radisson Bloomington by Mall of America. You don't need to leave the hotel premises to keep the family occupied, though. The Radisson connects directly to the Water Park of America, and one of this Groupon's options includes four passes to the park, where families can careen down a 10-floor body slide or wade in the wave pool.
Designed with families in mind, the Radisson's guest rooms have spacious floor plans and enough beds to accommodate up to six guests. Each standard room features one king bed or two queen beds as well as a sofa sleeper. Downstairs, the onsite Split Rock Grille serves wood-fired pizzas, housemade turkey pot pie, and a full kids' menu.
Bloomington, Minnesota: Gargantuan Mall of America and Family Fun
Although the Radisson is not directly affiliated with Mall of America, the hotel has a free shuttle service that makes dozens of trips daily to the massive shopping center. The shuttle can also take guests to Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport.
Aside from its famous mall, guests visit the area for Historic Fort Snelling, a 19th-century post where several of the original buildings and cannons are still intact. Located inside a sprawling state park about 5 miles east of the hotel, the fort hosts craft demonstrations, military drills, and cooking exhibitions performed by costumed characters.

I'm surprised a rolling conveyor oven doesn't smoke the oil, but it must stay below the smoke point. The pizza spends quite a bit of time going through and being brought to a pretty hot temp. I suppose there is a bell curve in terms of the temp and the machine is designed to move the pizza through before smoke problems arise. Not a problem in the Philippines where smoke alarms are few and far between.
Pete-zza, I check the smoke point of various food oils and the working temperatures of ovens and wonder why we don't see a lot more smoke. Canola's smoke point is 400F and I often use it to deep fry burgers at 400F with no smoke apparent. And my thermometer is fairly accurate. So the oil is getting hot, right at its smoke point. With the pizza, I suppose the oil being close to a heat sink, the pizza does not get to its smoke temperature. I didn't think the oil had to actually touch a heat source, just simply reach the requisite temperature whether from radiant or conductive heat. But having hung out in pizza shops with the conveyor style oven waiting for my pizza to take its turn, no smoke was apparent. Of course, I don't remember them oiling there pans, but I wasn't watching for that either. I do appreciate your insight and it makes me think a bit more deeply about what is happening as the pizza travels along.

Karen Blood from Center Point, Iowa, was looking for a recipe for chili that she said was once printed on the wrapper of Aldi's brand canned tomatoes. She said the "healthy and nutritional" chili contained pinto beans, kidney beans, green pepper, celery and canned tomatoes and she would like to be able to make it again. She contacted the Aldi company about the recipe but they were unable to help her. I also searched the Aldi website, which contained many good recipes, but unfortunately there were none for chili as she described it.
Danielle Adler from Austin, Texas, saw Blood's request and sent in her favorite chili recipe that she thought sounded like it had everything Blood was looking for. She said she frequently makes this when she knows she is going to have friends over to watch football, and because it is made in a slow cooker she can make it in the morning and forget about it the rest of the day. Using a slow cooker to make chili makes perfect sense. The slow cooking method allows the spices to slowly permeate the chili and develop deep flavor. Her easy and basic recipe is extremely adaptable. Bump up the seasonings if you prefer a spicier version, vary the meat or eliminate it if you want to make it vegetarian. However, served as is, along with some shredded cheese, sour cream and scallions for toppings, you have the perfect dish for a game day gathering or any day you want to serve a hearty and satisfying meal to your family. The chili will keep beautifully on warm in the slow cooker and also freezes very well if you should happen to have any leftovers.
Melanie Baker from Baltimore would like to have the recipe for the delicious goat cheese cheesecake she so enjoyed at Grano restaurant in Hampden.
Janice deConge from Baltimore is looking for the recipe for a risotto dish that was the chef's specialty at the Fountainside restaurant and lounge in what was the Pikesville Hilton. She said it was delicious, creamy and not too sweet.
If you are looking for a recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, and The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21278 or email email@example.com. If you send in more than one recipe, please put each on a separate piece of paper and be sure to include your name, address and daytime phone number. Important: Name and hometown must accompany recipes in order to be published. Please list the ingredients in order of use, and note the number of servings each recipe makes. Please type or print contributions. Letter and recipes may be edited for clarity.

After inspiring our Facebook fans, Alena Kudryashova was chosen as our Author-a-Month for June.
We are happy to now present you a little more information about this talented artist.
Tell us a bit about yourself?
I've been drawing for about 4 years. I mean, of course I drew when I was a child, everyone does it, and I studied some drawing and painting at the university since I'm an architect, but I don't consider all this as something. 4 years is the period I've been drawing consiously and with pleasure almost every day. 4 years which brought me to where I am now.
What do you see yourself doing in the future?
Now I'm a free-lance artist illustrating my first picture-book. I'm planning to continue drawing and going to get some further education in architecture in addition to what I have got for now.
Do you remember your first Moleskine notebook experience?
I don't really remember the way it had appeared in my life. It was a watercolour notebook, where I started all the illustration thing. I kept it with me everywhere! I did sketches and even some finished illustrations there. I could say, that the paper there is the best I've ever seen in notebooks, it really gave me an additional pleasure when I just started to draw. And such feeling is very important in a beginner's life. The only wish I've got is if it would be portrait-turn, then I'd never ever used another notebooks but moleskine 🙂
Can you share with us the story behind your winning submission?
I called it (Motivation) this way because of it's inscription and because it was supposed to cheer me up that day. I've got an interesting, but quite a difficult and long lasting progect and at one point it seemed to me like it's not going to be done ever. And this drawing is what I did then. It somehow helped me that day.
Parting words to share with everyone?
Don't be afraid of good quality tools such as notebooks or whatever even if you just have started to create and not really sure of what you are doing. It's just going to help you not to fight those mistakes which are not yours but because of the bad paper and so on. Whenever you've started to live your art life, you are an artist and you deserve the best. So treat yourself and enjoy the process from the beginning to the end! Thank you for your choice!
We have created a bookmark and sleeve in her honor which you can download here:

When it comes to Christmas decorating, everyone knows that Christmas lights are a must, however, choosing what color and what types of Christmas lights can be challenging. You can string Christmas lights around the exterior of your home, through your trees, and along walkways and paths in your yard.
You can also incorporate lighted outdoor Christmas decorations in your holiday display.
Inside your home, you can string Christmas lights up the stair rail, inside your Christmas wreaths, wrapped around the Christmas tree, and trailing along the mantel. If you've looked around at all, you've surely found that Christmas lights come in a couple of different hues of white; a warm, yellowish glowing white from Incandescent lighting and a bright, blue-ish white that shines from LED lighting.
The Differences Between Bright LED & Warm White Christmas Lights
Warm White Christmas Lights – The biggest benefit of the warm white Christmas lights is that they are not a harsh light – they give off a yellowish glow and are perfect for creating a warm, cozy atmosphere. If you have Christmas decorations that were purchased a few years back and they appear to give off a warm glow, they are most likely incandescent white Christmas lights. One drawback to using incandescent lights is that they draw more energy than LED lights, so you won't find a battery-operated version since the amount of energy that it draws would kill your batteries too quickly.
Bright LED White Christmas Lights – Many people refer to LED white Christmas lights as being "contemporary lights" because of the blue-like light that they give off. This is mainly due to the lack of light that projects out; unlike an incandescent light that "glows".
The LED white light is sharp and is great if you want your Christmas decorations to be extremely bright or if you want to achieve an icy look. There are some advantages to using LED white Christmas lights; low energy use, low breakage rate, and because of the low power they require, you can add more lights to 1 plug. The downside is that there are several manufacturers of LED white lights so it might be challenging to match up the color if you spread your purchases over the years.
Warm(ish) LED White Christmas Lights – Just recently introduced into the marketplace, warm LED white Christmas lights will fall somewhere in between the bright, LED white Christmas light and the incandescent warm, white Christmas light. These LED white Christmas lights are used when you want or need to mix your older incandescent lights with some newer bright, LED white Christmas lights in your holiday display. It glows a little bit better than cool white LED's but won't necessarily achieve a total incandescent look.
These warm LED white Christmas lights will look similar to incandescent lights, but since they don't pull as much energy, they can be battery-powered. This allows you to use battery-operated wreaths, garland, topiaries and other Christmas light sets while blending your ul listed trees, garland and topiaries in the same holiday display.

.30 Caliber/7.62mm (.308) 125 gr. SPTThe 125 grain #2120 has a medium-weight tapered jacket. It is very destructive at high velocity and is an excellent long-range varmint bullet. When loaded to medium velocity, it is an excellent low-recoil hunting bullet suited to medium game. The #2120 bullet is especially well suited to Hunter Benchrest, where it has become very popular. Reliable expansion and deep penetration blended with Sierra's classic Spitzer flatbase profile makes these the bullets of choice with many 30 caliber riflemen.
For handguns, Sierra's Pro-Hunter design is generally considered too "hard" for all but the most powerful of the 30 caliber handgun cartridges. The #2120 can be used for medium game at 30-30 level velocities when loaded at or near maximum levels. This is an excellent target bullet and has been used with great success. The 125 grain #2120 bullet will prove too light for the 200-meter rams in Handgun Silhouettes, but is a good choice for the smaller, lighter chickens, turkeys and pigs. Due to their flat base design, Pro-Hunter bullets are an excellent choice for a cartridge with limited powder capacity and a short neck, because these bullets intrude into the powder space less than a boat tail.

|My Dad reloaded this bullet 50+years ago. When I got his 30-06 after he went to the great hunting grounds. I started reloading for his gun. I'm just thankful that Sierra is still making the same bullet. Killed 3 deer this past year all on the run in Va. Thanks again for keeping a great bullet in production.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Apple is shaking the tree again.
The S&P 500's SPX, +1.32% biggest company AAPL, +0.62% is generating buzz among value investors, especially after the brutal reaction to Monday's earnings report.
Apple shares were down 7.5% to $505.89 after-hours, denting Nasdaq 100 futures, and sending ETFs that contained a big chunk of Apple — including the Technology Select Sector SPDR XLK, +1.52% — down 1%.
Accordingly, you can expect the value camp to pound their iPads even harder for Apple. Activist investor Carl Icahn last week said Apple is his firm's largest investment. Analysts at S&P Capital IQ, meanwhile, peg Apple shares' fair value at $738, or a tidy 34% above the stock's $550.50 closing price on Monday.
Analysts at investment researcher Morningstar and Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. both affix a more modestly upbeat $600-a-share target to the stock — in line with Wall Street consensus.
Yet Apple's share movements affect many investors, whether they like the stock or not.
Apple's 10-largest institutional shareholders own more than 20% of the shares outstanding. If you have money with Fidelity Investments, Vanguard Group, BlackRock's iShares exchange-traded funds, State Street Corp.'s SPDR ETFs, T. Rowe Price, TIAA-CREF or Invesco PowerShares, chances are good that you have a stake in Apple's fortunes.
Apple commands a leading 3% position in the SPDR S&P 500 exchange traded fund (SPY) SPY, +1.33% and sibling Vanguard 500 Index Fund VFINX, +1.32% , and more than 12% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100-tracking PowerShares QQQ QQQ, +0.99% ). The stock has a 2.5% weighting in the broad-based Vanguard Total Stock Market Index ETF VTI, +1.30%
Yet longer-term value investors will have to weather the wake from active traders over the coming days. According to market-researcher Birinyi Associates, Apple shares trade lower two-thirds of the time on the first day after the earnings report, for an average loss of 0.5%.

A forum for users of LackeyCCG
I want to see combos in the attacks. Like a snearing effect that causes the next one to be a crit (twice damage) that leads to an attack on it, stuff like that. Great work.
You might incorporate the idea of instability with certain creatures. Like firstborn does not mesh well with alchemical creatures or something of that sort. You can also use the unstable element to prevent abuses in power like preventing you from combining a really high powered ranged card with a high powered flying card or something like that.
If you are going to include the dice rolls at all I think there should be an element of failure. I think failure on a 1 or 2 is reasonable (66%), failure on a 1 makes your success very probable (85% chance). Having dice when your creatures have no triggers and no chance of missing seems silly, so If there will be no element of failure you shouldn't need to roll either.Seems like you have a full toolkit and a handle on the mechanics. Sounds like it's time to make some rough prototypes.

Wiegmann was "miserable" last season with Chiefs
Former Chiefs center Casey Wiegmann admits he was miserable last season with the Chiefs. But, following the last game last season, he was told he'd be back with the Chiefs in 2008.
Then, he said, he suddenly got released -- and he found out by voice mail.
Wiegmann, now the starting center for the Denver Broncos who come here this Sunday, spoke candidly with the Rocky Mountain News this week about his ugly breakup with the Chiefs.
One of the funny-but-sad revelations from the story was that during the Chiefs' game against the Jets last season, the Chiefs' offense had become so predictable that Jets' defenders were barking out the offensive play before the snap.
Anyway, here's some of the story:
"....For all the good memories he has in Kansas City, and there are many, Wiegmann still harbors some animosity about how his departure was handled.
Wiegmann maintained the Chiefs told him the day after the season that he'd be back, only to turn around and release him in March as part of the team's youth movement.
Kansas City was undergoing a change in philosophy to bigger-bodied linemen, and Wiegmann, at 6-foot-2, 285 pounds, was deemed too small. The Chiefs liked Rudy Niswanger, a 2006 undrafted free agent, and wanted to give him a look.
The reversal was stunning but somewhat understandable considering that backdrop. But the manner in which he was informed was unacceptable to Wiegmann.
"They called me and left a voice mail on my cell phone," he said. "It's amazing. When you give them all your hard work and all your blood, sweat and tears, they give you a phone call and leave a voice mail. It's not really the right way to do things."
In hindsight, though, a change probably was necessary.
At various points, Wiegmann had seen some of his fellow Chiefs linemen retire, perhaps prematurely, in part because of full-pad, midweek practices that beat down veteran players. He'd felt underpaid, having played seven straight years without missing a snap for a group that in the early 2000s was the NFL's standard among offensive lines. And he claimed, in vague terms, promises had been made but not kept by the Chiefs organization.
Also, Kansas City's once-powerful offense had, according to Wiegmann, become so predictable that, during the 2007 season finale in New York, Jets defensive players at the line of scrimmage called out the exact play the Chiefs were about to run three straight times.
All of it made retirement thoughts inevitable, once Wiegmann got his voice mail pink slip.
"I was just so miserable last year," he said candidly. "I went to work. I did my work and I left right after work. It was just a miserable atmosphere. I don't know what it was. . . . Things just spiraled downhill."

We've heard plenty of stories about organizations trying to ban the resale of tickets to events. It seems a bit silly to tell someone who bought a ticket to a concert or a sporting event that they're not allowed to resell it, but apparently some event organizers feel differently -- especially when the tickets are sold at greater than face value. The New England Patriots apparently are so adamant that people shouldn't be reselling their tickets for profit that they've convinced a court to force ticket resale marketplace StubHub to hand over the names of everyone who resold Patriots tickets for above face value. This seems like a rather large privacy violation -- and it clearly violates Stubhub's own terms of service (which is why the company fought it in court). You could understand being forced to turn over such information in a criminal lawsuit, but this is the New England Patriots requesting and getting the private info of sellers. For a team that just got into some trouble for spying on opposing teams, spying on their fans' private transactions doesn't seem like a step forward.

Right move for the wrong reasonSince the sellers in question are violating state law if they resell the ticket for more than $2 above face value, I wouldn't had a problem with the courts forcing StubHub to turn over the user information - **if the request had come from the district attorney or law enforcement officials as part of an investigation and prosecution of ticket scalping**.
I don't like the fact that the court essentially issued a subpoena on behalf of the Patriots owners/management, and force StubHub to turn over the information to them, rather than the police.

What state law? What if they're not in Massachusetts and bought the tickets eitherthrough ticketmaster or something, and then turned around to sell them online? There are a lot of ticket brokers who make a business out of buying and selling tickets for a profit, and rarely are they in the same state as the event for which they sell tickets are held.

An analogyIf re-selling tickets is ok, then should mafias be allowed to buy up all the tickets and sell them at extortionate prices?
If search engines like Baidu force all Google or Yahoo searches to be redirected to Baidu in China, is that ok too?
Mrrar, 18 Oct 2007 @ 11:33pm
Re: An analogy...Why not? In that case, the only people that suffer are the fans. That would guaruntee to the teams that they'd be able to sell the tickets out for every game.
More than that, they can find out what people are willing to pay for the Mafia tickets and then raise the prices of those tickets to meet what the Mafia is selling. That'd force the mafia to raise their ticket prices, forcing down the number of fans that appear, reducing their profits, and again, drastically increasing the profits from ticket sales for the team itself.
It's .. basically win win for the stadiums. Why do they care?
dorpus, 19 Oct 2007 @ 12:24am
Re: Re: An analogyIf the mafia buys up all the tickets and nobody comes to the games, the team's popularity is undermined, and this gives mafia more control over the team.
Maybe in Mike's world, it's ok to have the mafia control everything, but most people don't want to live like that.
Chris Maresca, 19 Oct 2007 @ 12:47am
Re: Re: Re: An analogyIf the mafia can afford to do that, then good for them.
Besides, what you are objecting to is demand pricing, which is pretty much the way every other good is sold (from airline tickets to gas to storage lockups) EXCEPT for event tickets.
Why does the government regulate event tickets and nothing else?

What the Patriots want to spy and sue? who knewpersonally I find this a bit crazy, why should a professional sports team really care about this; it raises the face value of the tickets in general from a pure capitalistic standpoint seems crazy, layer on some bad press...
Steve, 19 Oct 2007 @ 1:38am
ScalpingWhat makes scalpers fans? Seriously, if a scapler buys all the tickets, then holds sells them at an extortionate price, that's bad for the fans. They have to either miss out or give in to extortion. It's one thing to sell a ticket or two that I bought for myself and find I can't use at a profit. It's another thing to make a living extorting money from genuine fans.
I know it's not completely free market economics, but it's effectively driving up the costs for scalpers, which will drive down the supply in scalped tickets, right? That'll mean more fans can get hold of reasonably priced tickets, won't it?
Vincent Clement, 19 Oct 2007 @ 3:44am
Re: ScalpingIt's never about the fans. It should be about maximizing your rate of return. Why no sports team or touring act does not use an auction system for selling tickets is beyond me?
It shouldn't matter to the Patriots (or any sports team or rock band) what happens to tickets after they are sold. What's next? GM forbidding trading in GM vehicles at competing dealerships? This extension of control AFTER the transaction needs to end.

Re: Re: ScalpingYou're right about that. I've never understood it either. I think it makes some sense to subsidise your truly fanatical fans - ticket giveaways etc - but that would be more than covered by using auctions to discover the market price.
RevMike, 19 Oct 2007 @ 4:44am
Missing an important factOne important thing to consider is that a ticket is not a physical product itself. It is a revocable license to attend the event. It does not confer a property right.
The teams and promoters can refuse entry or eject any person at any time - short of violating public accommodation laws - simply by refunding the ticket price. Once a ticket is sold to a third party for greater than face value, an interesting consumer protection issue arises. When someone buys a $75 ticket for $300 and then the event is canceled or they are refused admission, they are out $225.
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 5:41amWow, talk about missing the boat concerning business models. The Patriots are actually doing something to help their fans and you take that as them doing something that hurts fans?
The Patriots could raise the price of the tickets themselves if they wanted to and would still sell out their games. Of course, scalpers buy up blocks of tickets and charge much more to corporations who want to entertain business clients, but from a team standpoint, those are not the fans that buy all the other products and services (jerseys, flags, beer) or hover over the TV during away games and line the streets during a parade.
Stubhub sells tickets owned by season ticket holders. When you buy those tickets there is a provision in the contract that states that you agree not to scalp the tickets. If they find out you do so, they will pull your ticket. The Pats have every right in "invade" their customers privacy, because information requested by the Pats was only for ticket holders that were scalping, or violating their contract.
Why are you against the Pats protecting their fan base? Supporting scalping and copyright theft, yeah, that seems about right.

Rich, 19 Oct 2007 @ 6:02am
The real purposeThe real reason the Pat's are doing this is to go after Season ticket holders never go to the games, but only resale all their tickets for profit (which they agree not to do when the buy the tickets). The Pat's are really trying to look out for the fan's it takes years for real fan's to get season tickets, the goal here is to get rid of the season ticket holder who is only using them for profit and to get real fan's in those seats.
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 6:11amVincent, RIAA? Its Friday, my last comment (scalping and copyright theft) was a joke. You guys need to lighten up a bit.
Vincent Clement, 19 Oct 2007 @ 7:10am
Re:Your argument is that the Pats are merely protecting their fan base. You then mentioned copyright infringement. So I inferred that you believe the RIAA is merely protecting the artists when it sues people for copyright infringement. Right? We all know that is false. The members of the RIAA are suing to protect their out-of-date business model. The Pats are doing the exact same thing - protecting an out-of-date business model.
Anonymous Coward, 19 Oct 2007 @ 6:25amI have to agree with RandomThoughts, some of you folks are completely ignoring the fact that the profit from tickets is only one source of profit (if it even is a source of profit at all) teams benefit from fans through merchandising, advertising, and licensing. If people aren't ever able to go see a game that will means fewer fans and that will mean less merchandise and ad sales and less value of their brand. It is a good business model to enforce the rules here that the state and the team have both put in place.
I realize from a privacy point it gets more complicated, but at the same time software companies and etc are doing the same thing all the time. That's why bit torrent and p2p aren't really commercial endeavors, because a court would just do the same thing.
Vincent Clement, 19 Oct 2007 @ 7:25am
Re:If a team is very popular, most fans will not be able to see a game with or without scalping. It very possible that the most rabid fan will never ever see their team play in person. The inability of buying tickets doesn't seem to stop them from supporting their team.
It's a horrible business model to enforce. If anything it indicates that there is additional revenue that the team could earn if they used an auction system to sell tickets. The State would earn taxes on the additional revenue. Price caps never work - they result in an inefficient allocation of resources.
Joel Coehoorn, 19 Oct 2007 @ 6:29amNot that what the Patriots are doing is good, but StubHub now finds itself in a sticky situtaion. This is why the privacy clause for every web site's terms of service should include a disclaimer to the effect of, "... unless compelled by applicable law..." or some such. IANAL, and the actual phrasing could use some work, but you get the idea.
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 6:54amDon't kid yourself though, StubHub has to fight this. This is something that will put them out of business or at least cripple them were all pro teams to take the same action.

Die Scalper ScumScalpers prevent real fans from getting good tickets. Die Scalper Scum
Vincent Clement, 19 Oct 2007 @ 7:41am
Re: Die Scalper ScumNo, teams prevent 'real fans' from getting good tickets because most if not all of the good seats are sold to season ticket holders. This further limits the number of seats available to 'real fans'. Demand exceeds supply. Prices go up.
If teams were really interested in protecting their fan base as RandomThoughts would have us believe, then they wouldn't have seasons tickets. All tickets would be sold an hour before the game. Every person would be given a number and those numbers and seat assignments would be chosen randomly. Some people get tickets, others don't. Some people get great seats, other's get crappy seats. But hey, it's all about the fans and being fair, right?
Drew, 19 Oct 2007 @ 7:09am
hannah montanaThat's a horrible statement "why wouldn't they allow people who bought tickets to resell". Ever heard of hannah montana in a concert in MO? There's a huge difference between a family buying 4 tickets and having a sick grandma, and a COMPANY that buys 1000s of tickets for the sole purpose of reselling them for literally 10x the price. I normally love your guy's articles, but this time you need to get a clue.
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 7:31amVincent, why do you have a problem with the Pats leaving money on the table and giving their fans a break?
As for my copyright comment, it was an joke. Did you not get that? Guess not, one of us needs to work on their sense of humor. My wife thinks its me.
Vincent Clement, 19 Oct 2007 @ 7:53am
Re:Because price caps result in an inefficient allocation of resources and because it is impossible to give the fans a break. Plenty of jurisdictions have anti-scalping laws, yet people are still able to buy tickets at a premium. Demand exceeds supply. Prices will rise. Why fight it?
Read my reply to August West. If teams are all about protecting their fans, then why have seasons tickets in the first place? Just price the tickets at the same price, then randomly pick people and randomly assign seats an hour before the game. Yes, scapling would occur, but so what, everyone had a chance to get a ticket and a good seat. After all the Pats are a benevolent society not a company, right?
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 8:06amVincent, I know people who have had season tickets to the Giants for many many years. They get passed through generations. Season ticket rights are battled over in divorce cases. If you don't think season tickets (at least some) go to rabid fans, you are either kidding yourself or you don't know the sports industry.
Inefficient? You want inefficient, don't sell tickets an hour before the event. Not only would that be inefficient, that would be dangerous.
As for supply and demand, I am not a Pats fan, but I doubt their demand can get any higher than it already is (and will even grow if the Red Sox lose another game) so they could sell their tickets for pretty much anything they want. I think the Pats administration knows a few things about their industry and what would damage their relationship with the customer. Obviously they thought that customers using Stubhub isn't good for the overall fan base.

Too bad the fans that think using StubHub are voilating their agreement when they bought the season tickets in the first place.
I would imagine those named by StubHub will quickly receive a letter from the Pats telling them something along the lines of "do this again and your ticket rights will be revoked. I would also imagine a cease and desist letter going to StubHub fairly quickly. This isn't a DMCA issue, because StubHub actually takes possession of the tickets before the final transfer. They also handle the money exchange.

Re:This is nothing more then shutting down a competing service. You can resell your tickets on TicketExchange (run by everyone's favorite ticket company, TicketMaster) but only at face value. You cannot recoup your service fees.
The kicker is that the Pats (and TicketMaster) charge service fees on the resale. Make money twice from the same ticket - so much for 'protecting the fans'. Also, you have to be an existing season ticket holder or be on the Season Ticket Wait List (which requires a deposit of $100 per seat) to buy these tickets - so much for 'protecting the fans'.
The application form for the wait list mentions that as a wait list member, "you may be offered the opportunity to purchase New England Patriot Tickets...before they are put up on sale to the general public." Another example of 'protecting the fans'.
Informed, 19 Oct 2007 @ 9:01amThe
13,000, yes that is correct,
13000 names, addresses and phone numbers were handed over to the Patriots organization. These names are registered stubhub users who have at any time since 2002 even looked at a patriots ticket. They have not released info on who bought, sold, or was just browsing. They have no transaction info, just a list of names.
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 9:56amThe 13,000 names that were handed over were not New England Pat ticket sellers, but ticket sellers who were selling the tickets for much more than face value.
As for Ticketmaster, from what I saw on their site for Patriot tickets, individual ticket prices max out at $125 with a limit of 8. Why do you suppose they limit the amount you can buy? Gee, thats inefficient.
As for StubHub, the lowest price tickets they have is $127 (for standing room only) with a high of $1,236.
I don't care how many times they charge me to sell a ticket, I would rather pay $127 than $1,236.
I think its obvious who is doing the protecting and who isn't.
I don't know about you, but I do think its protecting me when they charge $125 instead of
Pro, 19 Oct 2007 @ 10:27am
Ticket Prices and supply/demandEverything has a value based on supply and demand. When prices are artificially deflated to a price that is less than the actual value (what people are willing to pay), you automatically create a black market.
I might even buy your arguement that the Pats are doing a 'good thing' by artificially deflating prices, except that once you get there, you have to pay $40 to park, $9 for a beer and $4 for a hot dog. Are they really concerned with my financial well being?
RandomThoughts, 19 Oct 2007 @ 10:39am$40 to park, $9 for a beer and $4 for a hot dog. Are they really concerned with my financial well being?
Hey, they are trying to limit global warming and encouraging car pooling and mass transit. Also, for the beer and hot dog, they are trying to protect your health.
Answer me this, how would you feel drinking your $9 beer on top of a thousand dollar ticket?
Maybe their attitude is "only we can screw our customers"
teknosapien, 19 Oct 2007 @ 1:57pm
Wait a momentI try to get tickets to my team - yea the Pats- and cant do it , probably because there is so much money in reselling them
Bob, 21 Oct 2007 @ 5:50pm
Re: Wait a momentA free market on tickets makes it easier to get tickets to your favorite team. Without a place like stubhub you would have to know someone with season tickets. Get a clue!
Seth Brundle, 20 Oct 2007 @ 12:56pm"It seems a bit silly to tell someone who bought a ticket to a concert or a sporting event that they're not allowed to resell it"
Thats a totally naive observation of this story.
No one cares if someone buy a ticket and resells it for more or less face value - what they are trying to stop is scalping - the mass purchase of tickets purchased with the specific intent of significant profiteering from lack of later availability.
Bob, 21 Oct 2007 @ 5:47pmJust wondering. How would eliminating scalping give a regular guy a chance at tickets for face value if almost all of the tickets are sold as season ticket packages? A season ticket package includes paying for pre season games at the regular season price. Most people that have season seats at the lower prime sideline seats are not scalpers. They are LONG TIME season ticket holders.

Darwin Wiggett 2/24/2001 4:31:52 PM 1The photo is in my backyard (I live on an acreage) so I often just wait until the light is right and wander around in the forest. That day we had some low mist. I shot the image on color film using a hasselblad x-pan with a 45mm lens. I really liked the resulting photo but decided to convert it to black-n-white in photoshop. It looked even better then.
I had the photo of the forest on my wall and one day I decided that it could be improved by adding a wolf or a cougar. I got a wildlife photographer friend to give me a photo of a wolf. In photoshop I added the wolf and voila we have this photo.

"Unintended Consequences" – the most dramatic episode this season of HBO's "The Newsroom" – focuses on a tragedy in Africa that devastates associate producer Maggie Jordan (Alison Pill) and might, unintentionally, cripple the ACN cable network.
First Amendment attorney Rebecca Halliday (Marcia Gay Harden) believes a multimillion-dollar lawsuit facing ACN hinges on Maggie's fragile state of mind. That's why Rebecca's nervous. "I'm fine," insists Maggie. But her psyche is obviously shattered, as symbolized by spiky red hair replacing her lovely blond locks.
When Maggie arrived in Uganda with colleague Gary Cooper (Chris Chalk), she was excited about becoming the go-to person for Africa coverage. Their assignment was a human interest story about U.S. troops rebuilding an orphanage four to nine hours away from Kampala. Why the time difference?
INTERACTIVE: Fall 2013 TV preview
"Sometimes there's mud, sometimes there's a genocide," Maggie explains to Rebecca.
Maggie befriends Daniel (Demoze Talbot), a shy little boy at the orphanage. With darkness approaching, Maggie and Gary are forced to sleep over because their trek back to the capital is too dangerous at night.
Awakened by gunfire from cattle raiders, the children – except for Daniel – are shepherded onto a bus. Maggie goes back to find Daniel and they run for safety, but sadly he's shot and killed. What did the raiders want at a destitute orphanage?
"Give us the camera," they shouted in a language Maggie couldn't understand. So Daniel died because of a video camera. And part of Maggie died too. At ACN headquarters in New York, Neal Sampat (Dev Patel) tries to calm Occupy Wall Street organizer Shelly Wexler (Aya Cash) before she's interviewed by anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels).

Her national TV appearance soon becomes an epic fail.
"Which system would you replace capitalism with?" Will asks Shelly with her fearful deer-in-headlights eyes. Humiliated and furious, Shelly slugs Neal as she stomps out of the studio. Shelly also refuses to connect ACN with a protester who knows about "Operation Genoa," a secret mission in which U.S. Special Forces allegedly sprayed deadly sarin gas on Pakistani civilians. The price for Shelly's cooperation? An on-air apology from Will – like that's going to happen.
To Will's credit, he eventually makes peace with Shelly outside her college classroom. "I slapped you around to burnish my reputation as a moderate," says Will, candidly admitting he struggles with a crisis of confidence due to controversies surrounding him.
In New Hampshire, it's a bumpy road for senior producer Jim Harper (John Gallagher Jr.) after being thrown off presidential candidate Mitt Romney's press bus for insisting on journalistic independence.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Jim no longer receives information from the campaign and he's traveling in a cramped rental car with two other rebel reporters: Hallie Shea (Grace Gummer) and Stillman (Cameron Gharaee). Speaking with Jim at a hotel bar, campaign spokeswoman Taylor Warren (Constance Zimmer) goes too far in expressing her distrust of the news media. To atone for her gaffe, Taylor offers Jim a favor.
Surprisingly, he requests an exclusive interview with Gov. Romney – not for ACN but for competitor Hallie. Jim's gallantry backfires, however, when an insulted Hallie discovers what happened.
"If it was insulting, I still don't care," says Jim, who's smitten with Hallie yet drawn to Maggie. It gets worse. To punish Jim for his confrontational style, Taylor tips off ACN about the Romney interview going to a rival. Jim is promptly ordered back to New York, but at least his night isn't totally ruined. "I think you got in trouble," Hallie says tenderly. Then they kiss, finally letting their feelings show. Too bad they're sharing a hotel room with that other reporter.

First-ever meeting between the two teams
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 28, 2013) – Looking to get back on track after dropping its second-consecutive home contest on Sunday, Nov. 24, the ETSU women's basketball team will host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs on Friday evening at 7 p.m. inside Brooks Gym.
A costly first half was too much for the Buccaneers to overcome as the fast-paced Saint Francis (Pa.) Red Flash raced to a 92-79 victory on Sunday inside Brooks Gym. Full-court pressure from SFU proved problematic for ETSU in the first half as the Blue and Gold fell behind by 13 points at halftime. A 40-point offensive explosion from Saint Francis' Alli Williams negated any ETSU comeback attempt and left the Blue and Gold searching for its first home victory of the season.
The Bucs did feature four double-figure scorers including a career-high 22 points from junior Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.). Junior Serena Clark (Stone Mountain, Ga.) also added her third-consecutive double-double with 15 points and a career-high tying 15 rebounds.
The matchup with Alabama A&M will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams. A&M is a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and is located in Huntsville, Ala.
For more on Friday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
Junior forward Serena Clark has started 2013-14 off strong, scoring in double-figures in each of the four games this season. After falling just one rebound short of a double-double in the season opener at Memphis (11/8), the native Georgian has reeled off three consecutive double-doubles for ETSU. Clark has now matched her double-double total from last season just four games into the 2013-14 campaign and seems poised for more throughout the season. Her 11.8 points per game currently ranks 19th in the A-Sun, while her 12.3 boards per game ranks second in the league.
Junior guard Cara Bowling is currently averaging a team-leading 16 points per game for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. This point total per game presently ranks fifth in the A-Sun and her 2.5 three-point field goal makes per game also ranks third in the conference. The Elizabethton native posted a career-high 22 points vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24) including four makes from behind the arc.
Sophomore guard Chandler Christopher has proved to be a valuable piece for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. After spending the entirety of the 2012-13 campaign as a seldom-used freshman walk-on, first-year head coach Brittney Ezell liked what she saw from Christopher and decided to elevate the Greeneville native from walk-on to scholarship status prior to this season. Christopher has since recorded her first-career starts in each of the first four games of this season and has been a vital cog for the Blue and Gold. After netting two points, five rebounds and three assists in the opener at Memphis (11/8), the guard followed with career-highs of 17 points and four assists in an also career-best 37 minutes played in ETSU's 81-72 win at Appalachian State (11/12). Christopher's performance in the Bucs' first win of the season led to her being named A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday, Nov. 18. The sophomore then added another team-leading scoring performance to her résumé with 15 points in a 77-69 loss to Morehead State on Nov. 21.
In 2012-13, the Bucs discovered the most offensive production through points in the paint. ETSU averaged roughly 30 points in the paint per game, including an average of 30 points in its last six. In a loss at Jacksonville, the Blue and Gold recorded 54 points in the paint, the most since scoring 50 against Jacksonville earlier this season on Jan. 28 in Johnson City. To begin the 2013-14 season, the Bucs are averaging 35 points in the paint through four games including 36 in the season opener at Memphis (11/8) as well as in the home opener vs. Morehead State (11/21) and in a home date vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24).
The Blue and Gold outrebounded the opposition in 20 of the 26 games last season and held a plus-6.0 rebounding margin, ranking first in the A-Sun … in a loss at FGCU, the Bucs outrebounded the Eagles by 20, 53-33. The Bucs' plus-6.0 rebound margin ranked among the top 30 nationally. To start the 2013-14 campaign, ETSU outrebounded the Memphis Tigers 47-44 in a 77-74 overtime loss on Nov. 8 and boarded evenly with the Appalachian State at 40 in the Bucs' 81-72 win in Boone, N.C. on Nov. 12. The Bucs also outrebounded the Morehead State Eagles, 36-27, in a 77-69 loss on Nov. 21. The Bucs' current +1.5 rebound margin ranks fourth in the A-Sun.
Through three games to begin the 2013-14 season, ETSU is currently averaging 75.8 points per game which ranks second in the A-Sun. With the 75.8 points per game also come successes in field goal percentage and three-point field percentage where the Bucs are leading the league at 45 and 38 percent, respectively.
The Atlantic Sun coaches picked the Bucs to finish tied with North Florida at fifth, while in the media poll ETSU was selected seventh ... the coaches picked FGCU with seven first-place votes to win the conference, while the media selected FGCU with 30 first-place votes ... the Bucs finished the 2012-13 season in eighth.

After months of scouring résumés from across the country, on Tuesday, Pueblo Community College President Patty Erjavec named Norm Jones the new dean of its Southwest Colorado Community College.
In a phone interview, Erjavec said that with almost 40 years of experience in recruitment, admissions and marketing for private colleges, Jones has a great proven track record as an academic leader, the depth, passion and breadth to really help us.
Though Jones previous post was in Pennsylvania, serving as Delaware Valley Colleges vice president for enrollment and athletics, he has owned property in La Plata County for more than 12 years.
Id always wanted to be in this area. Call it serendipity, said Jones, who said his first move as dean had been wrapping (his) arms around Southwest Colorado Community Colleges strategic plan.
Jones said he hoped to quickly become visible to the people in the communities we serve, and assess what are the needs to successfully prepare students for jobs and enhance their life in some way.
The dean position is new, encompassing responsibilities Shannon South, formerly the dean of Southwest Colorado Community Colleges West Campus, and Lynn Urban, formerly dean of the East Campus, had shared until last summer.
In a decision that caused uproar among members of Southwest Colorado Community Colleges advisory board and culminated in two members resigning, Erjavek fired both South and Urban last May. Erjacek defended the purge as financially prudent.
At the time, various board members lambasted Erjaveks actions as needlessly cruel to South and Urban and indicative of her general contempt for the advisory board.
Erjavek said relations with the board had since been smoothed over, characterizing them as good, I think, right now.
Jones said he was looking forward to meeting the advisory board next week.
Im here to move forward with the mission of the college by fulfilling the charge that weve been given by the state to educate five counties, he said. SCCCs core values respect for people, lifelong learning, integrity and responsibility, procedural excellence these resonate with me, Jones said.

If you are signed up for a Case Maintenance Webinar - you will also receive a cancellation notice. We will reschedule these sessions and deliver this information at a later date. Thank you for your flexibility!
Question: If an application comes in after 5:00 or on a weekend - what will the date received be on the Case Info page?
Answer: If a form is emailed or faxed after 5pm, scan date should display actual date/time, but the date received should be next day. This includes weekends.
Question: Are shared sites going to be under one case ID number or two?
Answer: Shared cases will have 1 case number, and the person creating the shared case can select the case number to use.
Question: Will FCRC staff be able to view documents in the system?
Answer: FCRC workers will have Inquiry into the CCMS.
Question: Is there a way to view a history of approvals, denials and cancelations similar to the CCTS F10 screen?
Answer: You can view when the approval, denials and cancellations took place on the Audit Search page.
Question: When we "Go Live" do we only accept the online applications or can we accept current application? What happens to the older applications?
Answer: After go-live, we will accept online applications and hard copies of the new application. Sites/R&Rs should be using the new application now. If older applications are received, the CCMS will not have the ability to automatically capture data. The old application will be treated as any other pdf.
Question: What happens when scanners are not functioning or down, how will we handle work - manually?
Answer: Those scanners came with advanced replacement warranties. If one goes down, call the manufacturer, they can arrange to send a replacement within 1-2 business days.
Question: Did someone decide the last date we could send old files to storage? I have a lot of files I would like to get rid of before CMS starts, can I send?
Answer: You may continue to send files to storage. This process will not change. The CCMS has a box tracking feature that will allow you to track hard copies of client records while they are on-site.
Question: How do I revise my agency's routing rules or add new staff?
Answer: BCCD will provide training prior to Go-Live to allow each agency to revise their routing matrix after the system is deployed.
Question: When will the online application be available to clients?
Answer: The online application will be available on day 1 of go-live.
Question: Will case/provider notes that are on existing CCTS cases be transferred to CCMS at conversion?
Answer: All eligibility data that is currently in CCTS is being converted to CCMS.
Question: Do CCR&Rs still receive approval letters or should they receive notifications through CCMS?
Answer: The caseworker who generates the approval notice will have the ability to view the approval notice in the CCMS.
Question: Provider Management: How will the provider know which CCR&R is managing them? Who should they contact to tell them to update their information if they manage multiple cases from multiple counties/CCR&Rs?
Answer: Only the CCR&R who's managing the provider will be able to generate CCMS forms for add/update information for the provider with that CCR&R's address. If the provider sends something to another CCR&R, the CCR&R can reassign the Work Item to the correct CCR&R.
Question: The current application does not have a field to select e-mail preference - how will clients know that this option is available?
Answer: The new 3455 does include a space to include an e-mail address. Should a client or provider select e-mail, they will also need to complete a new Email Agreement form. Sites/R&Rs should advise clients of this new option.
Question: Can a user have both CCMS and CCTS open simultaneously?
Answer: The CCMS and CCTS require two different user IDs and passwords, so yes it is possible to open them simultaneously.
Question: In Net.Learning - how can we learn the right answers for the test questions we might have gotten wrong?

Chef Shawn McClain will soon open his first pizzeria inside Las Vegas' Aria resort, a property at which he has run the popular, upscale Sage restaurant since CityCenter's opening three years ago.
The eatery, called FIVE50, is to open this spring. The name comes from what's considered to be the ideal temperature for baking pizzas, 550 degrees.
"I would say it's 50% pizza and 50% bar," McClain told me. "We wanted to capture the soul of an East Coast, New York pizzeria and combine it with a fresh, edgy, soulful bar."
McClain said he has spent the last several months researching what makes a great pizza.
"I have a few extra pounds to show for it," he said before sharing what he's learned about the craft.
"To me, a good pizza … is a perfect balance of crust that's got chew [and] some real character to it, other than just bread. It's a sauce that's not too overwhelming."
To those, the chef will add fine cheeses and the freshest-possible toppings.
"We still retain a forager [at Sage] who travels California from top to bottom weekly, bringing us the various best seasonal produce from small farms. We'd like to carry that through [to FIVE50]."
