UW-Whitewater, No. 1 in the D3football.com poll, held Washington
University without a first down and to zero yards of offense in the
first half on the way to a 34-0 victory Friday night at Francis
Field in St. Louis.
The Warhawks received the opening kickoff, which went into the end zone for a touchback. UW-W drove to the Bears' 26 before stalling. Eric Kindler (Germantown/Germantown) kicked a 43 yard field goal to make it 3-0 with 11:43 left in the first quarter.
Later in the quarter Whitewater started a drive, short-lived, at their 11 yard line. The Bears forced a fumble and Tate Byers recovered at the 22. Three plays later Dan Burkett's pass was picked off by Marcus McLin (Delevan/Delevan) at the 13 to end the threat.
In the second quarter, an Eric Kindler (Germantown/Germantown) punt pinned Washington back at the ten, and three plays later a Bear punt rolled dead at their 35, setting up the Warhawk offense, which took five plays to up the lead to 10-0 with 8:15 on the clock. The final 17 yards came on a second and seven, Lee Brekke (Sun Prairie/Sun Prairie) connecting with Steve Morris (Racine/Horlick). Kindler added the extra point.
Whitewater linebacker Kyle Wismer (Spring Grove, Ill./Richmond-Burton) stopped the Bears' next drive with his interception at the WashU 28. Three plays later Desmin Ward (Milwaukee/Hamilton) rumbled right for a 19 yard score, making it 17-0 with 6:57 on the clock.
Kindler kicked a 21 yard field goal with 0:17 left in the half to send Whitewater into the locker room with a 20-0 lead.
UW-W gained 238 yards in the half, while Washington had two yards passing and minus two rushing. Brekke completed 10-19 for 129 yards, with one interception, and Ward rushed nine times for 66 yards. Steve Morris (Racine/Horlick) caught seven Brekke passes for 103 yards in the half.
WashU moved into Whitewater territory midway through the third quarter, but Warhawk linebacker Cole Klotz (Elm Grove/New Berlin Eisenhower) picked off the pass at the 33.
Later in the quarter the Warhawk defense bottled up Washington again, but Whitewater fumbled the ball on a punt return to set the Bears up at midfield. McLin's second interception of the game not only ended that threat, but he took the return to the house, 59 yards, to increase Whitewater's lead to 27-0 with 1:54 left in the third.
Early in the fourth, facing a first and goal and the Bear 8, wide receiver Tyler Huber (Mukwonago/North Prairie) ran the ball in with a end around, upping the margin to 34-0 with 12:13 left in the game.
A combination of Bear defense and driving rain caused a Whitewater fumble, picked up by Chris LaBarge and returned to the Whitewater 43.
Both teams took the opportunity for the rest of the game to get game experience for backups.
The Warhawk offense produced 376 yards, while the defense limited the Bears to 55, ten on the ground and 45 on 9-25 passing -- with four interceptions. Defensive back Ryan Wenkman (Wisconsin Dells/Wisconsin Dells), and linebackers Klotz and Wismer, led UW-W with six tackles apiece. Bear junior linebacker Peter Lowery and sophomore back Ryan Bednar each collected a game high 11 tackles. Ward broke the 100 yard mark, carrying the ball 14 times for 108 yards. Brekke wound up 13-25 for 141 yards, with the one pick.
UW-W, a member of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and Washington, from the University Athletic Association, were both tabbed to win their respective league titles (the Bears as co-champion) in preseason polls.
The victory adds to Whitewater's win streak, now at 46 games, longest active streak in college football and fourth longest, and one away from tying the University of Oklahoma for third place all-time in the NCAA.
Whitewater has a bye next week, then will host Buffalo State on Saturday, September 15 at 1:00 in Perkins Stadium. The game has been designated as National Champions and Youth Day. Whitewater's national champion football, men's basketball, women's gymnastics, women's wheelchair basketball and men's wheelchair basketball will be honored at halftime.

Cobras Lose Head Baseball Coach Kennedy to Hight Point University
Parkland College Head Baseball Coach Matt Kennedy has accepted the position as Recruiting Coordinator and Assistant Coach at High Point University in High Point, NC. Kennedy recently completed his 5th year at Parkland and compiled a record of 217-76 during his time in Champaign. His tenure was highlighted by two trips to the NJCAA D-2 World Series, winning the National Championship in 2009 and finishing 5th in 2010. While at Parkland, Kennedy coached 8 NJCAA All-American's and over 75 of his players received scholarships to NCAA and NAIA programs. The team also showed significant improvement in the classroom regularly earning a grade point average of 3.0 or higher while 7 players were named NJCAA Academic All-American's.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Parkland and appreciate the opportunity that was given me to lead such an outstanding program. The championship in 2009 will always be a highlight of my coaching career as was the chance to work with so many excellent players. It was a difficult decision to leave PC but I felt it was time for a new challenge and High Point is an up and coming program with an exciting future. We've sent two players (Nate Roberts and Jon Carlson) to play for the Panthers and they had nothing but good things to say about the High Point program" said Coach Kennedy.
"While I'm disappointed to lose a coach like Matt, I'm also excited for him as he begins this new career path. It's flattering to know that other college and universities think so highly of our coaches that they seek them out when they have openings. When I hired Matt, I knew that keeping much longer than 5 years would be very difficult so I'm not surprised that he is moving on. He did an outstanding job with our players both on the field and in the classroom and will truly be missed. Having said that, I know their will be a strong pool of applicants for the job as this is one of the top two-year jobs in the state and the country. I hope to have a new coach in place by the end of the month or early August." said Cobra Athletic Director Rod Lovett.

I have 2 100GB externals already. Should I really get another external? I'm mostly just using the 1TB drive to store stuff, I shouldn't be using it that often. Stuff I use a lot, like Word documents, will be on my master SSD. It's 120GB, so that should be fine with a 1TB secondary.
Current setup looks like this:
-ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
-SeaSonic Platinum Platinum-860 860W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
-Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K
-G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
-EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

-ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
While I'm at it, I might as well throw in a monitor.
-Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design
Very nice deal on this one. Originally $199.99, on sale for $139.99. Hard to pass up a $60 sale (that's 30%).
Since I already have a decent keyboard and mouse, that just leaves the wireless adapter card. Assuming I need one. I would prefer to just use an ethernet cable. Our router sucks.
I'm already hopelessly overbudget at $1281. I probably need to make some adjustments to lower my costs. What can I say? I don't know how to plan.

I can always use that extra desktop space to put in useless icons for programs I never use.
Native res of the monitor I was looking at (23" screen) is 1920 x 1080. Seems like more than enough to me. At least for now.

Since this is a gaming setup, as much money should go to the GPU as possible without resulting in a setup that bottlenecks the GPU. I would suggest taking money away from other components (Maybe a slower i5, I would NOT recommend a Ph2X4 if you aren't going to overclock though) to try and fit at least a GTX580, if not a Radeon HD 7950 or 7970 into your budget.
I would recommend upgrading the GPU GTX560 Ti if you aren't willing to sacrifice other components for the GPU for whatever reason and should be enough for gaming at 1080p single monitor.
I would put off the 1TB drive until prices return to normal if possible.

For 1920X1080 I'd be more comfortable with a GTX560Ti than a 550. You shouldn't need an uberGPU though.
A $140 LCD will be a TN panel LCD, which is fine for most people but IPS and VA panels tend to have richer colours and better viewing angles (especially an issue if you look at the LCD from below center on the vertical axis - dark colours become washed on on TNs when viewed from below). However, even on special IPS and VA panels tend to be $200 and up for a 1080P 23 inch.
As for the two 100GB hard drives, that's fine as long as you only have 200GB of stuff you care about enough to back up it's fine. But you should keep a second copy of anything you care about - hard drives just aren't reliable enough to keep only one copy of stuff you care about IMO.

Seems like an above-average compromise. Maybe I'll upgrade in the future, but to be honest, I don't really NEED an extremely high-end graphics card. I'm willing to run stuff on lower resolutions. Hell, I played Oblivion on minimum settings on my laptop.
And because I'm a noob... what does "bottlenecking" the GPU mean? I've seen a few other people mention it, but I'm unfamiliar with the term.
To save cost, I cut out the 1TB secondary drive. I can always add it later, I guess.
Right now my "budget" (I dunno if I can still call it that) stands at $1370. I'm not sure if I want to throw any more money at this monster project. But I think I'm set, assuming this graphics card works for my setup. When everything's said and done, if I go with my current components, I'll have spent around $1440 total (including accessories). It's worse than I hoped, better than I feared. But I didn't expect a top-of-the-line gaming PC to be cheap. Just cheapER than a pre-built one.
Let's just hope that I'm reaching the end of my expedition, here. My wallet is starting to sweat.

to help you alleviate your costs a little... if you never EVER plan to use two GPUS in one system, go with the SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze modular PSU for $89.99 and FREE SHIPPING! (OMG). this PSU will power any single GPU along with whatever else you have in your system. i've had it since april 2010 myself and never ever gave me any problems. i highly recommend this psu for someone in your budget range.

And speaking of cost, when do you guys expect the cost of hard drives to drop? I really want a 1TB internal for my secondary, but I hear the Seagate drives are plagued by unreliability and the Western Digital ones are freaking expensive.

The one part in your setup that reaches it's limit first.
Example: You have a super cpu that can crunch 100 GB/s of data. But you are reading that data from your hdd, which can only provide 30MB/s. Then this is your bottleneck for the application.
Important to note, that this changes with the use case. Encoding movies has a different bottleneck than playing FarCry.
And I agree with Random32 on this. If the application is gaming, then the graphics card is your bottleneck. This means you can downgrade your other hardware a lot, it will still be the GPU that dictates how much of a gaming machine you have.
If you want gaming, pick the best GPU you can afford, then build the rest of your system around that.
HDD prices:
I bought 8 TB of anime storage for under 200€ last year. The current prices are still really high compared to that. And then you'd usually expect last years hardware to go down in price not up.
But this doesn't really matter if you only want a 1TB hdd. Not with the budget your are using here. But for really building up storage, this is still a bad time.
Oh and I have used Seagate drives for 10+ years now (that 8TB too) and never had one fail on me. In fact the ones from 10 years ago still spin up fine. Statistics vs anecdotes...

And it's done. I ordered my parts. I'm pretty sure I have everything I need for now, minus maybe a wireless adapter card. Assuming I need one, which I think I will.
I spent more than I planned on this, but a LOT less than buying a pre-built one. My various components should arrive in a few days. I'll keep you guys up-to-date when I begin assembling them and I'll take a picture of the final product and post it here.

make sure you put the ram on before screwing in the motherboard into the case if you got the $121 asrock z68 board. i've seen concerns over the interwebz where people thought they were going to break the board because it's so thin and it requires an amount of slight pressure on the board to make sure the ram stays in - especially if the board is already screwed into the case. aside from that minor issue, it's a great board for the price.

Seagate vs. Western Digital is like saying Ford vs. Chevrolet. Some people have had bad experiences with one and will only buy from the other; others have the opposite experience. I'm currently running with four Western Digitals (one of which has been with me since 2002 and received a ton of use - ahh, the days when 200 GB was the biggest that drives came in...), one Hitachi, and two Seagates (one of which has been with me since 2004 or 2005). Knock on wood (crap, there's no wood nearby for me to knock on!), I've never suffered a drive failure. It's anecdotal and doesn't really mean anything, of course, but personally, I'd buy from either. Just read reviews on the specific model you're looking at to get a feel for whether the failure rate might be higher than normal.

I've had a number of Seagates and WDs without issue either. I had to go Seagate for my last drive because I needed a 1.5TB 2.5 inch (portable size) USB 3 external drive to transport large amounts of data between two desktops on a regular basis and nobody else offered one.
Backblaze - an online backup company that goes through a lot of drives - apparently likes the Hitachi 5K3000 series but those are 1.5TB, 2TB, or 3TB only and I seldom see anyone stock the 1.5.

I find it weird no one offered feedback on his choice of GTX570 .. Waste of money, when GTX560 Ti offers like 5fps less on games .. I dont know the price difference but I doubt it was worth of extra 1-5fps.
iceyfw : I have Z68 and had no problem with my G.Skill ram .. Easy to put in. I was more worried about installing the COOLER into the processor, which was quite a project. In fact, building the computer took like .. half an hour, while installing the cooler took .. much longer =_=.
Spectacular .. If you can afford it, buy a processor cooler on top of the parts you chose. Even if you do not overclock, an external cooler is always much better, and quieter than the stock cooler that comes with the processor. I love how my PC stays really cool, and the fans are always at minimum, so I don't have to deal with annoying fan noise and can leave it on even for nights .. and I sleep literally next to the computer! (If you do buy one, get Mugen 3 or Ninja Scythe 3). Despite what I said above, installing one is not actually hard, but I recommend to pay attention to the manual unlike I did -_-. Also think hard about whether you want one or not, cause I doubt you want to install one later, since the only way to install a cooler is to put it into the motherboard BEFORE screwing it into the case so you need to do it at the beginning.

I'll probably just stick with the stock fan. Noise isn't going to be an issue, since I use sound-reducing headphones in the first place.
I don't think I want to mess around with a non-stock heatsink and fan. If I had done this before that might be a different story, but I'm going to be struggling enough as it is to not screw anything up just installing the basic parts.
Besides, if I were to get an external cooling system, I would just go all the way and get a liquid-cooled system.

I was going to reiterate my 560TI suggestion to save a few bucks over the 570 but the way my class schedule worked out I didn't get a chance to reply before the order went in.
And yes, I don't know about the newer Intel CPUs but the old LGA 775 coolers gave my friends and I headaches the first couple times we used them. Dead simple once we figured out how the mechanism actually works, but oh so easy to mess up.

Well the way I see it, is that if you read the manual, you'll do it right. It's not possible to install it incorrectly .. If force is required, you're doing it wrong. So for building your computer, you won't '' screw up '' anything as long as you check all the cables are in their correct slots and so on.
I am using headphones that block noise from outside too, but I do still like it quieter and cooler. I don't have experience with i5's stock cooler but my previous processor with the stock cooler was Phenom X4, and oh boy did it overheat? Case was and still is excellent (Coolermaster) but the stock cooler was just THAT bad. Heat = Slower CPU = Shorter CPU Life, so all in all, even if you don't OC (I don't, even tho I have the K version), it never hurts to have external cooler.
External cooler is quite different from liquid cooling though .. Mugen 3 costs like $40, comes with heatsink and a fan, and installation is pretty simple. But what about liquid cooling? Ain't talking about simple here, also is expensive, and you can't just build and plug it in and leave it there.. You have to change the liquids often and stuff .. Quite bothersome, and not worth of it if you don't OC..-
I understand if you won't get one though .. Building your first computer.. That on it's own may prove quite challenging at first. And well I will admit that though installing the cooler was '' simple '', it was also hard as hell with just two hands .. Fortunately I had a friend with me at the time ..
Just gonna note, that despite what you said in your OP that you won't be playing Crysis or stuff alike, I assure you that this setup WILL play Crysis and Crysis 2 on maximum settings. So now if there's a game you want to try .. Don't bother looking at the system requirements.. Your computer WILL play it :P

Eh, I took a look at the installation diagrams for my LGA 775 cooler and still messed it up. Sure, it takes some force to put in wrong, but many older CPU coolers required some force to install - why would I have assumed this was any different?
LGA 478 coolers were far easier to install.

why the hell did you just skip my post? it was a perfect recommendation and the price is just right, just drop one card and it'll be a tiny bit over 1,000$, now add your new monitor and voala! 1,250$ (this is if your monitor is roughly 200$)
oh and drop the case, since you already have one.
GTX 560 Ti - 448 consumes an approximate of 215Watts, based on it's 210 TDP with the extra 5watts for whatever HSF is stuck on it.
i5-2500K consumes an approximate of 95Watts based on it's 95 TDP + overclock percentage. lets say you overclock it to 5Ghz which should be roughly 50% overclock, that means it'll be about 145Watts overall.
do note that the TDP is a worst case scenario where every single core of it is running at 100% full throttle, the only thing that can make this happen is benchmarks and stress tests.
summing everything 215+215+145 = 575Watts for the main powerhogs
so adding pheriperals such as the mobo(20watts approx) harddisks(15watts approx) SSD(10watts approx) ODD(20watts approx) rams!?(5watts per pair)
so thats 575+20+15+10+20+5 = 645Watts! amen.
if you're concerned about this super tight headroom you could bump it to a 750Watts PSU.

Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Wellesley College received strong pitching performances from junior Jenna Harvey and sophomore Beej Grundlock en route to sweeping a doubleheader against New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival MIT at Briggs Field on Friday afternoon. The Blue picked up a 3-0 victory in a hard-fought pitcher's duel in game one, before breaking out the bats for a 10-2 victory in the nightcap.
Harvey's 14 strikeout performance in the first game of the afternoon was the highlight, as the London, Ontario native allowed just two hits and walked none in the complete game effort, bumping her record to 9-3 on the season in the process. Her counterpart on the mound for game two, Grundlock, nearly matched her, going the distance while allowing just two earned runs, six hits and striking out nine. She moved to 2-1 with the win.
The first half of the twinbill saw both teams struggle to generate scoring chances in the early going, as Harvey and MIT junior Leah Bogsted squared off.
However, junior catcher Kara Wong led off the top of second inning with a double before advancing to third on a Harvey groundout. Freshman Alex Warren then delivered an RBI single to provide all of the offense that the Blue would need.
Warren was at it again in the top of the fourth inning, belting a triple to left center to bring Wong all the way around from first.
The Engineers finally broke through for a hit in the bottom of the inning, as junior Amanda Jason singled through the left side to break up the no-hitter. Amazingly, the base-hit came after Harvey had struck out 10 of the first 12 Tech batters.
Wellesley added its third and final run in the top of the sixth frame. Junior Alexandria Coari singled to lead off the inning and advanced to second on a passed ball, but was then gunned down at the plate by the combination of freshman leftfielder Lily Keung and shortstop Jason when she attempted to score on a Megan Wood single. However, Wood moved to second on the throw home and then reached third thanks to a wild pitch before Wong smashed an RBI triple to right field.
MIT junior Amanda Poteet doubled to start the bottom of the seventh, but was stranded at third.
Bogsted fell to 1-8 with the loss, despite an impressive showing on the mound. She tossed all seven innings, struck out seven, and walked one while allowing eight hits and three earned runs.
After being held in check in the first game, the nightcap saw the Wellesley offense explode for ten runs. The Blue was led by sophomore Amanda Tai, who went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs, Harvey, who belted a two-RBI triple, and Wong, who was 2-for-5 at the plate with two runs scored.
Wellesley grabbed an unearned run in the first inning before opening the game up with a four-spot in the top of the third. Warren began the scoring with an RBI triple before crossing the plate herself on an errant throw, while Tai drove in two with a single later in the inning.
MIT got one back in the bottom of the frame, thanks to a Melissa Tanner run-scoring single. Junior Joy Dunn began the inning with a walk, then moved to third on a Keung double. Tanner's single through the right side plated Dunn. However, the rally was killed when Poteet's hot-shot to third was converted into an inning-ending double play.
The Blue tacked on two more runs in the top of the fifth thanks to a passed ball and an Ashley Bulesco sacrifice fly, then grabbed two more in the sixth on Harvey's triple. Coari notched an RBI with a single in the top half of the seventh to conclude Wellesley's scoring.
The Cardinal and Gray did score one more run, thanks to another Tanner RBI single. Keung singled to lead off the inning before stealing second, then came around on Tanner's grounder up the middle.
Poteet took the loss for Tech, dropping to 0-6 in the process. She went the distance, allowing ten runs (eight earned) on ten hits while striking out five and walking four.
The Engineers will return to the diamond on Friday, Apr. 20, when they will host Clark University in a NEWMAC doubleheader beginning at 3:30 p.m. Wellesley will travel to Smith College on Saturday, Apr. 14, for a 1:00 p.m. conference twinbill.

Hurricane Sandy caused devastation on much of Long Island. The South Shore, including my hometown community of Island Park, took a severe hit.
Recovery money that has and will come, in the form of federal and state government relief and several charities, will help us rebuild. In times like these we need to be patient, but steadfast. It will take a tremendous amount of valor to rebuild our communities.
Our economic base has taken a severe hit, with countless small businesses closing, and many in jeopardy of not being able to reopen. Already staggering property tax burdens will be exacerbated as a result of this loss of revenue. Simply put, Nassau's taxpayers need relief now more than ever.
Let me be clear. I believe that it is necessary to have a first-class educational system, and we are blessed to have wonderful educators here on Long Island. But the crushing school tax burden can no longer be ignored.
Our sky-high administrative costs and loaded non-contributory pension systems must be dealt with. While Governor Cuomo has proposed a "Tier-6" plan for pension reform, those efforts need to be continued with our legislators. The fight begins in Albany!
Without reducing these mandated costs to school and local governments, Nassau's long-term economic health and vibrancy will be threatened. Every day, more and more Long Islanders are forced to pack up and leave due to overbearing taxes. We have to stop the flight.
Without a doubt, the political highlight of the year was the presidential election. I was fortunate enough to meet Mitt Romney on the campaign trail, and was convinced that he was a decent man and would have been a good president, but now that's history.

Economic indicators show that the recovery in the US economy is well underway. According to the Commerce Department consumer spending increased 0.7% in February which is the biggest gain in five months.
Despite the Conference board's weaker consumer confidence numbers, the housing sector seems to be in the midst of a solid recovery as both single-family home-starts and builder permits were significantly up in February (year-over-year).
Continue Reading Below
The labor market conditions have been also showing signs of improvement as companies seem to have started hiring. The recent Cypriot crisis did not seem to be a major risk to the US economy.
Although we believe the GDP growth in 2013 will be dampened by the cutbacks in federal spending, there seems to be a strong momentum both in investment and private consumption thanks to stronger job numbers and a slight increase in wages.
These positive economic developments are accompanied by a fall in inflation expectations and rising company earnings. However, despite the S&P 500 reaching a record level, share volumes seem to be low, indicating that investors are still hesitant about the market. The stocks that have outperformed in the first quarter of 2013 seem to be defensive stocks such as healthcare, rather than cyclical stocks.
In our Covestor Long Only Sector Rotation portfolio, the housing stocks such as PulteGroup (PHM) and Lennar (LEN) have benefited somewhat from the recent upswing in the housing market.
However, we believe that given the strong revenue and net income growth, home deliveries and new orders momentum, and the reasonable valuation levels, these stocks still have a long way to go.
Despite the rally in the markets, the performance of some energy stocks in our portfolio has been slightly disappointing. Chevron (CVX) suffered some loss due to concerns over multiple spills from ruptured pipelines. However, the company has an operating margin that is above the industry average and we believe these issues are unlikely to be a serious threat to the long-term performance.
There has been a 12% rally in natural gas prices in March, and gas stocks in our portfolio such Range Resources (RRC) and SouthWestern Energy (SWN) have benefitted from this.
As far as the metal stocks in our portfolio like Eldorado (EGO) and Silver Wheaton (SLW) are concerned, we intend to hold on to these stocks despite the recent disappointing performance.
We believe inflation may become an issue toward the end of 2013, as house prices and wages finally catch up with the excess liquidity in the market. Furthermore, official gold reserves of global central banks seem to be increasing, which supports the gold price.
The investments discussed are held in client accounts as of March 31, 2013. These investments may or may not be currently held in client accounts.

Homecoming Win Moves Wabash to 3-0• September 25, 2010 Share:
A spirited and huge Homecoming crowd along with special teams play got Wabash off to a fast start against the University of Chicago Saturday as the Little Giants improved to 3-0 with a 31-14 win.
See more photos from game action here , here, here, and here.
Just like a week ago at Ohio Wesleyan it was a blocked punt that opened things up for Wabash. Sam Smith blocked a Maroon punt on the Chicago 39-yard line then freshman Jonathon Koop picked it up and raced 12 yards for the early Wabash lead, 7-0
On Chicago's next possession it was James Parnell picking off Maroon quarterback Kevin Shelton at the UC 33. That turnover resulted in a Spencer Whitehead 42-yard field goal, the longest of his career, 10-0.
"I would say it really was just business as usual," Whitehead said. "Everybody blocked well. (Kyle) Grand had the snap and (Josh) Miracle had a good hold. I just put a punctuation point on it."
Coach Erik Raeburn had plenty of praise after the game for his special teams creating turnovers and Whitehead's field goal efforts and consistently deep kickoffs.
"Those guys doing a great job," Raeburn said. He singled out Smith, Koop, and Kyle Najar for their efforts the past two week. "I thought our kickoff coverage was excellent and Spencer has been doing a great job with his kickoffs."
Whitehead has had a very consistent to start to the 2010 season that he credits to the "Three Amigos." He had a chance to quickly set a new personal best with a 46 yard attempt that fell just short. "I was actually on the ground so I didn't know what exactly happened," the senior kicker said. "I didn't draw a penalty but everyone told me it was straight but just a little bit short."
The defense was strong, special teams were great and the Little Giants didn't hurt themselves with penalties as they did a week ago. The only real dark spot was four lost fumbles. But overall, Coach Raeburn was pleased with improvement he saw in Week 3.
"I'm real proud of how we played on defense," he said. "I decided to put our second team defense in (during the fourth quarter), and that was my decision. "We missed a tackle or we would have had them stopped so we gave up a drive. I am disappointed; I should have left the starting defense in one more series. But I thought our defense played excellent all game. I really was impressed with Chicago's offense on film. Our kids stepped up real big this week.
"We're still careless with the football and turned it over too many times but I thought this was best game of season so far."
Wabash picked up another first quarter score on Chase Belton's 21-yard run. The sophomore quarterback led the Little Giants with 87 net rushing yards. He hit on 11-of-20 passes with one touchdown and no interceptions.
Jonathan Horn had a big day with six catches for 125 yards and a score while freshman James Kraus continues to turn heads with three catches for 89 yards, one of those went 65 for a TD.
"They were playing pretty tight man coverage so I made a double move and Belton threw a great ball," the North Judson freshman said. "I'm just trying to step up and make plays."
A lot of eyes have been on Krause since Wes Chamblee and Kody LeMond went down with early season injuries. Krause showed great speed in separating himself from the defender after the catch.
"He's the guy that's had to go in for Wes," Raeburn said. "Those guys, Wes and Kody, every time they touch the ball they're a threat to go the distance. It's hard to lose that off your offense. So it's big to have some of these young guys step up and get us some of those types of plays."
Wabash out-rushed and out-passed the visitors. The Little Giants had 167 rushing yards to Chicago's 121. Chicago had 167 through the air to Wabash's 174.
Defensively, C.J. Gum again led Wabash with seven tackles. J.D. McClintic had his biggest day of the year with six tackles and two sacks.
"We were way more disciplined (than last week), that was the theme in practice," the senior defensive end said. "We really tried to focus on getting our keys down and trusting our teammates on the field. I tried to use a little more quickness today. I'm usually a little more of a bull rusher but they were dropping back so hard I just tried to get up the field as fast as possible."
McClintic said Coach Raeburn has been making it clear he wanted more penetration from his defensive line. "He's been harping on us all week," the Monticello, IN. native said. "And every week he tells us we need to get back there or he's going to change something."
Chicago falls to 2-2. Wabash (3-0) goes back on the road next week to Kenyon. The Lords (0-3) dropped a 17-10 decision at Carnegie-Mellon.

NEW YORK — Small Business Administration chief Karen Mills is leaving the agency at the end of August although her successor has not yet been nominated.
Mills, who had announced in February that she planned to resign, told staffers of her plans on Wednesday, said Emily Cain, a spokeswoman for the SBA.
Mills lives in Brunswick, Maine.
Mills had pledged to stay in her position until her successor was ready to be sworn in, but President Barack Obama has not nominated someone to head the SBA. It was not known when a nomination might be made; a White House spokesman, Robert Whithorne, said in an email that he had no personnel announcements to make.
It's also not known who will be in charge of the SBA when Mills leaves. The SBA's second highest-ranking official, Deputy Administrator Marie Johns, resigned from the agency earlier this year. No replacement has been named for her.
"The agency is working closely with the White House on transition plans and on the appointment of a successor," Cain said.
Mills will be taking positions at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and its Business School, according to Jim Aisner, a spokesman for the business school. She will be working on the school's U.S. Competitive Project and its entrepreneurship program, Aisner said.
Mills has been SBA administrator since April 2009, and joined Obama's Cabinet in January 2012. She has had support from both political parties and from small business advocacy groups for her holistic approach toward helping small business. She has said the government needed to do more than guarantee loans for companies; it also needed to help struggling companies get the counseling they needed in order to qualify for loans.
Under her direction, the agency streamlined its loan process and shortened the amount of time it takes for companies to be granted loans.

On November 30, 2012, Steve Myers will log his last hours as The Genealogy Center's Assistant Manager. He is retiring from the library to pursue other genealogical opportunities. Steve has been with us since 1986, first as a Reference Librarian, then as Assistant Manager. He has helped The Genealogy Center accomplish many great things during his tenure with us, including two major moves (2003 and 2007) of not only the genealogy collection but also of the entire library, and many minor (and not so minor!) shifts of materials through the years. All of our publications, including our subject guides and "Genealogy Gems," have benefited from his high editorial standards. Steve pioneered our two-day mini-courses, and challenged us to keep our customers central in all we do. We are going to greatly miss his professionalism, his customer-service ideals, and his sense of humor. We wish him well as he follows his new path, and we hope to see him almost as much as a customer and a volunteer as we did as colleague.

So Thanksgiving is over and the big push to the holidays begin and you hunt for the perfect gift for everyone on your list. But, you know, some people don't need anymore ties, after-shave, or talcum powder. But StoryCorps has a better idea, it costs you very little, if anything, and will please almost anyone, and it kicks off today, the National Day of Listening. This is an opportunity for you to take the time to have someone tell you a story and record it. StoryCorp is saluting veterans and offer some questions for you to use to begin your interview, although you can interview anyone. So give yourself and someone else a gift this year by listening!

Thanksgiving is one of the days of the year when family, in the extended sense, gathers. Children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and friends, all gather to share a meal and thanks. This is one of the holidays that doesn't center around gifts or candy, and lest we lose it entirely to football on television, take this Thanksgiving to begin a new tradition within your family: Sharing a story.
During dinner, or even after the huge rush of post-meal cleaning, set a theme for the stories, maybe "Thanksgiving Memory" would be appropriate, and have every person tell some short memory of a Thanksgiving past. For me, it might be the happy memories of coming home for the holiday when I was in college, or the first time I made a turkey (who knew one had to remove those bags of stuff inside the bird?), or my picky-eater five-year old's plate (one olive, one Mandarin orange, one green bean, a teaspoon of dressing, two square inches of turkey and a roll (to be followed by a huge piece of pumpkin pie). Others' memories might include the memory of a newly returned soldier, the last holiday of a beloved grandparent, or a newly-married into the family perspective. Everyone should be given a chance to share, even a child whose memory might be the meal she just ate. Share the memories, listen and interact so that the younger members at the feast will begin to understand the importance of oral history within a family.
Begin, or continue, to make your family's Thanksgiving a time for passing along the family memories.

Take the opportunity this Thanksgiving to visit with family. Then listen and record a story or two from older relatives, or share memories with younger ones. You can be the key to preserving your family's oral tradition.

As family historians, we need to document more concerning our ancestors' lives beyond the vital records. When we come across significant events that occurred in the area in which they lived, we should incorporate these events into the narrative of the family. A wartime or military experience or a description of what an immigrant ancestor faced are examples of this type of narrative, but other events also should be recorded.
Recently, I located an obituary for Frank E. Bosley, my 2nd great grandfather, in which his children had written, "In the fire of 1881, he was burned out. At this time, there were four small children. To keep his wife and children from perishing in the heated atmosphere, he dipped water from a well and threw it about them." I wondered how much time he had to get his family to safety; were they able to protect or save any of their valuables, such as the family Bible; did he rebuild on the property? At first, I thought the fire had only affected his farm, but as I reread the obituary later, I realized that the family had been victims of a significant event in the thumb area of Michigan, the Great Fire of 1881.
Frank and his family were listed with his parents in the 1880 census for Clinton County, New York, but arrived in Michigan later in the year, settling in Elmwood Township, Tuscola County. During the fire in September, Frank was trying to protect his four young daughters, ranging from 18 months to almost seven years old, and his wife, Eliza, who was pregnant with their first son, Frank. The fire lasted only two to four hours, but the property of more than three thousand families was destroyed, leaving 15,000 people homeless and in need of public aid, which averaged $746 per family. I learned that yes, Frank did rebuild in Elmwood Township. Since the information about the fire was in Frank's obituary, I wonder if the two oldest daughters remembered or if their parents had talked about how close they came to losing their lives. I searched for more information and found that the Clarke Historical Library has manuscripts about the fire, and I hope to visit and read them someday, and perhaps learn more about the terrifying experience that my family survived in 1881.

Although over the next few weeks, you might think that it is.
When The Genealogy Center opened in the old/new Allen County Public Library Main Branch in 2007, it seemed that the shelves had lots of room for expansion. There was at least six inches of space at the end of each shelf and no books were on the top shelf.
But in the almost six years since then, our collection has soared to over one million items and some spaces are getting tight. But worry not! We have a plan. We are going to shift some books around, moving some subjects to utilize what may be currently unused space. All of the collection will still be in open, browseable stacks, but a few things will be in slightly different places.
Over the next few weeks, you will see staff members placing books on move carts and pushing them around the department. We are still open and all of our material will remain available. If you can't locate something, ask a staff member and we will try to locate the item.
So pardon the extra activity while this is going on, and remember, we are always trying to enhance your experience at The Genealogy Center!

I just wanted to remind all of our visitors that last Spring, The Genealogy Center, like the rest of the Allen County Public Library system, switched to a copy card system for both photocopiers and computers. One must obtain a print card from a staff member in order to copy from our print material or to print images from our computers. The card system will only accept U.S. paper money to put credit on the cards, so those of our visitors who saved coins all year for a visit, or even went to their local bank for rolls of dimes, should instead exchange their coins for $1s, $5s and $10s when they plan a visit. Just think, less weight to carry and security at the airport won't wonder why you have ten rolls of dimes in your carry on!

While stumping in Cincinnati, Ohio, GOP candidate Mitt Romney stressed that his campaign was about 'big things' and promised he was going to bring the 'big changes' that Americans want.
CINCINNATI, OH -- Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he was the candidate of "big change" at the outset of three-event bus tour of battleground Ohio on Thursday.
Slideshow: On the Trail
The former Massachusetts governor cast President Barack Obama as a figure of the "status quo," and made clear that the Republican ticket represented "big change" by contrast -- repeating that phrase throughout his speech.
"This is a critical time for our country and the choice of paths we chose will have an enormous impact. We have huge challenges," Romney said, ticking off issues ranging from job creation to education. "These challenges are big challenges. This election is therefore a big choice. And America wants to see big changes and we're gonna bring big changes to get America stronger again."
Recommended: First Thoughts: Examining Ohio's key counties (and margins)
Romney repeated his mantra of "big change" more than 10 times in his roughly 30 minute remarks, hammering the point home again and again and melding it into his broader critique of Obama.
"The Obama campaign doesn't have a plan," Romney said. "The Obama campaign is slipping because he's talking about smaller and smaller things despite the fact that America has such huge challenges and that this is such an opportunity for America, and that's why on November 6th I'm counting on Ohio to vote for big change!"
Al Behrman / AP
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks during a campaign stop at Jet Machine, Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, in Cincinnati.
A senior Romney adviser said that the focus on "big change" would continue in the race's final days.
"Highlighting our campaign's focus on big issues and contrasting that with the smallness of President Obama's campaign will be something we make clear with voters today and through the rest of the campaign," Romney senior adviser Kevin Madden told NBC.
"Here's the 'big change' Mitt Romney is offering: going back to the same failed policies that caused the economic crisis and empowering the extreme voices in his party like Richard Mourdock," Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said in a statement.
Slideshow: Twin sons of different parties
Romney also continued to highlight how his policies might be better for individual families than Obama's,
Thursday's Deep Dive featured a look at Ohio's key counties and their election histories in 2004 and 2008. Which way will they vote this year? The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd reports.
"This election is not about me. It's not about the Republican party. It's about America. And it's about your family," Romney said after running through a series of scenarios like caring for an aging relative or getting a good education for a child, and how those experiences would differ under a second Obama term or a Romney presidency.

The GOP standard-bearer also launched into an extended riff this morning about how a voter's hypothetical daughter -- a play toward prized women swing voters -- might suffer from Obama's proposals.
Interviews with female voters at Romney's event suggested this strategy could be part of the right prescription to close the gender gap with women in Ohio.
"I don't think that women are any different from any other voters in particular, and I think that what women are concerned about is they have a dual concern," explained Romney supporter Emilia Pater, a homemaker from Cincinnati who attended this morning's rally. "They're concerned about the economy and their families, because most women are caretakers of their families and they are the ones that are looking toward the future and saying what's going to be left for my children?"

Viking ship
The Viking ship, or longboat, or longship, was not the only vessel employed by the Vikings (a generic term used here for the Northmen who plundered western Europe and the British Isles and traded along the eastern European rivers from the 8th to the 11th centuries) but is the most well-known. We are fortunate that various ships dating from the Viking era have been found in states of preservation good enough to tell us that the infamous longboat, (or "dragonship" from the dragonheads carved into the ends of the high prow and stern) was the culmination of centuries of development.
The warship of the Vikings was a clinker-built vessel, designed to be both rowed and sailed. It was flat-sided, deckless and between 10 and 30 metres long, sufficient in the latter case to hold about 100 fighting men. The oars - about 60 in the larger war-vessels (called skaithes) - were short, fairly light-weight, and would have been used in a similar fashion to the galleys of the Mediterranean. It was steered with an oar fixed to the starboard side near the stern. (See Port and Starboard).
They were very long and narrow, had a shallow draught, and displaced up to about 50 tons. They had a semi-keel in that it was only about half the length of the boat. There was a single mast amidships that held a single large square-rigged sail on a yard. When not in use, the mast was lowered towards the stern. Like with all sea-going galleys, sail-power was the usual method of propulsion, except in battle or to counter unfavourable conditions, and when negotiating rivers and other inland waterways. They were not particularly seaworthy, nor comfortable, but in them the Vikings managed to reach Greenland and North America, the Mediterranean by way of the Strait of Gibraltar and Constantinople via the rivers of eastern Europe and the Black Sea.
As well as the longboat, the northern Europeans built much broader cargo vessels, using the same construction techniques, (see Knarr) some of the later ones with more than one sail, and these would develop into the cogs and hulks of the High Middle Ages.
- Draught (sometimes draft) is the depth of water a vessel draws. The less the draught of a vessel, the shallower the water inwhich it can operate.
- The Keel, historically, is the "spine" of a ship. It is the lowest part of the vessel and to it are attached the stem and sternpost, the ribs and the bottom strakes. In nearly all sailing ships, the masts are "bedded" into it. With the advent of steel in ships, then the prolification of pleasure craft, especially racing yachts, the variations in shape, size, number and even function of keels has given the term too much weight to be treated in a mere "glossary".
- Square-rigged refers to the set of the sails on what most people would consider the classic large sailing ship – the galleon or the clipper for example, or any large warship of the age of sail. The sails are set across the bow to stern line of the vessel and are four-sided and attached to yards that can be angled according wind direction.
- Yard refers to the spar (pole) which is attached more or less half way along its length to a mast. The portions on either side are called "yardarms." To yards are attached the standard four sided sails of the square-rigged ship. The term also refers to the cross-spar atop a lateen sail or with the trapezoid lug sails of a lugger.
- Stern The back of the boat.

PS3 58,651 (+2%) 3DS 42,009 (+5%) X360 40,034 (-2%) PSP 23,245 (+2%) Wii 12,762 (+1%) PSV 9,732 (-0%) WiiU 7,351 (+14%) DS 1,434 (+5%)
The ps3 is really doing well in Europ, great sales overall for this weak.
Wow, comparing this to the U.S. charts and Europe is buying a lot more in general. 30-50% more.
I can't believe the PSP actually outsells the PS VITA that much... whyy?? How?? Spinning discs in a handheld, people?? A litte dated? Get a Vita, it's a great device!
EU is bigger so...
That reported difference of being 8.5k behind this past week in the US is more than negated by the Europe numbers. That's what confuses me, though: it's been like this for years, for most of the generation, and yet VGChartz has always maintained the same lead. Then, suddenly, they finally admitted PS3 was ahead. I won't say that these numbers are any more factual than they ever have been, but inaccurate or not, they've definitely shown something many have tried to deny for years.
The guy that runs it is a big MS fanboy. Maybe he's not so impressed with the new Xbox...
ps4 will outsell xbox one in EU jan- march 2014 sales. sony +2. M$ - 2.
these numbers are for week 5/27/13 , not 6/07/13
OUCH Xbox 360 (-2%) ....
congrats to the WiiU in Europe
I honestly thought it was going to sell better didn't it get a sales boost after the X1 reveal? ;)
Gotta wonder how PSP still sells so much.
I'm wondering how the DS is still selling.
I'd hardly call that selling lol.
ps vita lol sony needs to drop the price
PS3 has one year less.
16 months.
Exactly! Fricking March 23rd 2000 fucking 7!!!! So late to the party, but look. EU comes through again. Man, we're smart consumers. ;)
Guess the only positive we can take from the Vita numbers is that it didn`t loose compared to last week and that it sells more then Wii U. Agree with Kratos above me, that thing should get a price cut and more games. It is a great handheld with some very good games, it just needs more of great games and maybe a slightly smaller price point.
Vita has the same amount of great games as 3DS, just look at Gamerankings or Metacritics. Vita needs only a price cut.
3DS might have slightly more. I just don`t hear that much biz about Vita games. I love my Vita and currently playing Person 4, again after playing it on PS2, but it`s a bit quiet around it. I look forward to Freedom Wars a lot and also to some extend to Killzone, but I wouldn`t mind more advertisement for Vita games.
Sadly Vita doesn't have enough titles that stand out. It's a shame because Vita itself is amazing.
I believe sony should match the price with 3ds to sell very well so many great game come out for the vita. vita is looking bad in the u.s as well
If they did that they'd bleed money. The vita cost $159 to make if they drop the prices down to match the 3ds then they'll easily lose $50-60 bucks on every vita sold. The current price ensures they bring in money rather than lose.
Flawless victory for sony
So, PS3 has surpassed the 360's lifetime sales according to VGchartz. It's a shame we don't trust those numbers, right guys?
PS3 passed the 360 a long time ago - VGchartz being the last one to report it. I wonder why this talks about the European sales yet got the WW picture next to it. The US sales chart got the right picture next to that one.
Why the lil spike in wii u sales? Did something come out? Anyway, im living in the wrong country.. PS3 is selling the highest over in EU but out here in the US, its the bro/dude 360 that sells the most.. Most games release out here in the US before EU though..
Why the lil spike in wii u sales? = xbone reveal, I would guess.
Indeed the US machine sells the most in US, while the Japanese one sells the most on the other markets (in home console category).

I love it when the abstract for a scientific paper reads like the opening to a Charles Stross novel. Case in point is the paper that computer scientist Benjamin Kuipers posted the other day on arXiv:
An existing, ecologically-successful genus of collectively intelligent artificial creatures
People sometimes worry about the Singularity [Vinge, 1993; Kurzweil, 2005], or about the world being taken over by artificially intelligent robots. I believe the risks of these are very small. However, few people recognize that we already share our world with artificial creatures that participate as intelligent agents in our society: corporations. Our planet is inhabited by two distinct kinds of intelligent beings —- individual humans and corporate entities —- whose natures and interests are intimately linked. To co-exist well, we need to find ways to define the rights and responsibilities of both individual humans and corporate entities, and to find ways to ensure that corporate entities behave as responsible members of society.
Kuipers studies AI, so he knows one when he sees one. I'm glad his outlook is so positive on our future relationships with corporations, but I can't shake myself of the feeling that this is some kind of weird Singulatarian rejoinder to the Occupy movement.

A couple of weeks ago Blue received a forwarded email from an unnamed source in the St. Louis area wherein the source claimed he (literally) just met this hot cougarlicious bartender who claims to have been (literally) getting it on with the immortal Cub legend Mark Grace pretty much every time he's come to town for the past several years.
Now, we know bartenders of the sexy/skanky variety tend to play to the crowd to gain that extra 50 cent tip (Money saving advice: open a tab, so you can sign out quickly, leave zero tip and run out the door and never return). So, using the natural sense of skepticism ingrained in only the finest journalists, I was umm skeptical? So I asked him for some proof and he sent be the below picture.
Yes, you've read it right the tramp's stamp (literally) reads "Grace".
I was blown away (figuratively).
I probed the source further (again figuratively) to determine whether or not he was jerking me around (not literally, figuratively) and I asked him how do I know her name is not Grace? He replied "she said that she wants every guy who (literally) "does her from the back" to know who she really (figuratively?) belongs to, Mark Grace."
Impressed, but still skeptical, I asked for further proof until he sent me a follow-up email last night.
From Gracie's agent (Barry) last night (the email chain I'm on was eventually forwarded to Grace's agent, Barry Axelrod for confirmation).
"Fellas: Just had a late lunch with Gracie and brought a print out of the narrative with me. I told him that he had been subject of an email chain and I was going to read it to him. As soon as I got to the part mentioning the (Bar name redacted), he just smiled and said "Oh, yeah. The tatoo" I didn't even get to the meat of it.
He asked me where this came from and I gave him the whole chain and all he wanted was for me to be sure to let you guys know that he does not recall asking her to marry him .. .. .. .. but upon further inquiry he admitted that he could have."
Mark Grace is now my favorite all time baseball player and role model. I'm off to find a slump-buster.
Your boy,
Agent's confirmation...

Bad news about America's favorite breakfast sandwich: The eggs in your Egg McMuffin could be a threat to your health. After some urging from the government, McDonalds has cut ties with Sparboe Farms, one of its major egg suppliers, because the conditions in the farm were so horrific they could no longer guarantee the "fresh, grade A eggs" they're supposedly serving.
The animal rights activist group Mercy for Animals released a video filmed over the summer that featured a look inside of the horrific facilities. The filthy conditions revealed Sparboe to be a factory farm and the sad footage clearly showed signs of animal cruelty: chickens living among dirt, vermin, feces, and other dead chickens. Though the farms generally do not let cameras of any sort on the facilities, they granted ABC News an eggclusive tour around the grounds in which everything looked clean — but common sense suggests that the whole ordeal was just a made-for-TV publicity stunt. The whole thing is very Food Inc. Tune in to ABC's 20/20 tonight for more.

How To Clean a Window with Newspaper
If you're trying to do away with paper towels (see How To Go Paper Towel-Less in the Kitchen) while minimizing your laundry but still need to clean your windows, consider using newspaper. Not only does it work really well, the paper and ink acts as a light abrasive to give you really clean windows.
What You Need
- A dirty window
- Newspaper
- Window Spray or Vinegar & water (If streaks persist with just vinegar and water, try this recipe: 2 cups water, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap) See also Best Green Cleaning Products 2009
1. Collect Your Materials
If using a window spray, this part should be easy. I choose Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Window Spray because it smells so good and is mostly natural. If you're trying vinegar, dilute with water. A good recipe is 2 cups water, 1/4 cup vinegar, and 1/2 liquid soap (to get rid of the waxy film that might be on the window).
2. Apply the Cleaner
A squirt bottle works best but you could also lightly dip your newspaper into a jar of cleaning solution if needed.
3. Rub to Clean
Begin in a circular pattern to wipe off all the spots. Then, switch to a vertical, and then horizontal stroke until all the liquid has dissipated and you're left with a shinny, streak free windows!
Note: for vinyl windows, I've found that the newsprint leaves a mark on the white frame. Avoid rubbing the window frame with newspaper and stick to the glass.

Yeah, this is a real tesla coil engineered for the above tableau from the PC Game Command and Conquer: Red Alert.
The Jets are wrapping up their extrended road trip against a battered Tampa Bay squad. When healthy, the Lightning are the toughest competition on this Eastern Conference trip, but without Steven Stamkos, and now Victor Hedman, as well as 4 other starters, the Lightning are vulnerable.
Expectations were high for this road trip. Six winnable games were intended to put the team back in the playoff hunt. Instead, they're at risk of going .500 on one the easiest stretches in their schedule. The team structure has fallen apart on the road, and coaching decisions have brought us back to the usual frustrations of prioritizing results over process. The Jets have faced the backup goalie in 4 of the 6 matchups on this trip, showing just how much respect the rest of the league has for Winnipeg.
Currently 9 points back of Minnesota for the final Divisional playoff spot, the Jets are miles from competitive despite considerable top end talent. It should be Red Alert for this club, and the manager should be making some of the simple changes required to be commanding on the ice, and be conquerors in the East. Instead, we live in fear of the Tesla Coil.
Jets Forwards
- Ladd – Little – Wheeler
- Thorburn – Jokinen – Setoguchi
- Halischuk – Scheifele – Frolik
- Wright – Albert – Peluso
I've already railed against the Thorburn placement a couple times. It's like yelling into a void, in some respect. Making the same mistake in repetition is a problem. We've heard cliches and quotes to that effect in every area of life, including professional sports. Making mistakes is part of learning, but you have to do that learning.
The job of a coach is to prioritize process over results, to see the small parts of the game so as to manage the team toward constant improvement and emotional stability in an up-and-down, arduous year. Claude Noel admitted early in the year that he couldn't see it any more. He didn't have an answer for why the team couldn't build on its success, and he's giving us evidence that he still can't.
Evander Kane is hard to play with – we know that. We can see it during games, we can see it in the numbers. He's a one-man wrecking crew, but he needs helpers more than linemates. It's entirely reasonable to argue (with two games of evidence now) that empowering Jokinen and Setoguchi to do more work on their line brings out the best in them. Chris Thorburn is still a liability, and there are 25 players available in any given NHL season for next to nothing that would do a better job in that spot. The Jets even have one – Michael Frolik.
Of course, Frolik is required to cover for Mark Scheifele, who continues to baffle on-lookers in his limited minutes. Shift to shift we can't know if he'll read the play correctly. His physical skills are there, and when he makes the reads, he's effective. But he's often a full decision behind the play. I don't know what Frolik has to do to get a better chance on a hockey club. He's the Jets' 7th man in every respect, including being able to play in the top-6 when injury strikes. Much like the Albert promotion, Frolik remaining where he is sends a message to the team of irrational decision making. That's a frustrating environment to work in (as many of us know from having managers and bosses who make irrational or emotional decisions).
I say this with all the hurt and betrayal felt by a fan of the team, but this lineup doesn't deserve to win an NHL hockey game. It has 6 NHL quality players in it, and 6 who are replacement level or below. The Jets are a team that has enough talent in its top group that they can win games, but can't put together a complete game because the manager won't give up on failed experiments, waiver wire additions, and also-rans.
By the way Noel's early season whipping boy Devin Setoguchi has 5 points on this road trip so far, and 16 on the year (tied with Frolik for 6th on the team). That's a 45 point pace.
Jets Defence
- Enstrom – Byfuglien
- Clitsome – Trouba
- Stuart – Ellerby
- Montoya
- Pavelec
Montoya gets his 7th start of the year after Pavelec turned in a stinker against Florida. I'm not sure if this was always intended or a reaction by the coach, but it might have been smarter to plan this the other way around – giving Pav the start tonight. That's not hindsight speaking, that's rational planning. The Lightning have scoring power even without Stamkos, and are 4th in the East (10th in the league) for goal differential in spite of constant injury problems.
Trouba is doing well to make me eat my words about him. He's more positive than negative out there currently, and the lack of team defence (or team anything) is no individual issue.
Mark Stuart also turned in a positive corsi game against the Panthers – which is exceedingly rare for him. To my eye, a lot of that was Ellerby doing the puck movement, and we can hope that continues (the awful giveaway against New York aside).
Byfuglien is now -11 and a team worst by a wide margin (Wheeler is second at -6). That number is partly accounted for by the 5 shorthanded goals against the Jets. He's a very challenging player to account for, but to my eye, he's a bellwether, or an indicator species on this club. He handles the puck more than any other player, and is known for his high risk behaviour. In truth, I don't think it's his high risk behaviour. I think the appearance of excessive risk in his game coincides with the team failing to support the puck. If all that's available is a 70′ stretch pass, he'll try it. But it's often not his fault that there isn't a better option available.
His 22 points are second on the team, and much like with Evander Kane, I would like to see the team address its depth problems before turning on its star players. The difference between teams that rebuild successfully (like Chicago) and those that rebuild perpetually (like Edmonton) is often just a matter of depth players that allow everyone else to play in a context to succeed.
Lightning Forwards
- Killorn – Filpulla – Kucherov
- Palat – Johnson – St Louis
- Brown – Thompson – Purcell
- Tyrell – Crombeen – Panik
With Stamkos, Malone, Tom Pyatt, and others out with injury, there are a lot of new names here. Those who follow the AHL will know a few.
Tyler Johnson is in at second line centre. He's an undrafted, undersized (5'9" listed) goal scorer who won AHL MVP honours last year with 65 points (including 37 goals) in 62 regular season games. He also won the Calder Cup with the Crunch last year with 21 points in 18 playoff games. His AHL totals are gaudy – 168 points in 169 contests over two years (regular season and playoffs). He also has 20 points in 42 NHL games, and turned 23 this past summer.
Nikita Kucherov is just 20, and was called up 5 games ago. Last season he came to North America to play in the Q, and put up 87 points in 47 games (regular season and playoff). In his first professional season this year, he has 24 points in just 17 AHL games. He only has one point in his first 5 NHL contests, but needless the say, the kid can score.
Still, we can see the effect of injuries on the lineup. The Lightning are just 4-5-1 in their last ten games, and despite Ben Bishop's incredible play of late, the team can't give him any run support. They've been shut out 3 of their last 6 games.
Structurally, we can expect a physical game for the Jets' right side. That's to their advantage in the defensive zone, where Byfuglien, Trouba, and Ellerby are more than up for the challenge of the energetic port side of Killorn, Palat, and Brown.
Still, the skill of the Lightning's right side is going to be a frustrating challenge for Thorburn, Halischuk, and Wright. We have to share in that frustration, sadly, and it will be up to Enstrom, Clitsome, and Stuart to contain them to the perimeter on zone entry. Blerg.
Lightning Defence
- Salo – Gudas
- Carle – Sustr
- Barberio – Brewer
- Lindback
- Bishop
Tampa is the fourth of six teams to use a backup netminder against the Jets (whether because of injury like the Islanders or choice), and the Jets dropped games against Steve Mason and the Flyers and Tim Thomas and the Panthers. I think it shows how much respect the rest of the league has for the Jets.
The Jets' combined record against Tampa since 2011 is 6-10-0. It's not pretty, given that Tampa hasn't exactly been an All-Star team those three years.
Brewer and Gudas are freshly back to the lineup from injury, replacing Hedman and Aulie, who were both hurt in Tampa's last game. It's not clear if they're being rushed, but it's possible that right side is a mess for the Lightning tonight.
Diehards might remember Mark Barberio as the high scoring defenceman for the Norfolk Admirals that beat the St John's IceCaps in the Calder finals two years ago. He scored 61 points in the regular season that year, and followed it up with a 42 point season and is not in the NHL full time as a 23 year old.
Johnson and Barberio are not the only returnees from that series. Tampa Head Coach Jon Cooper was also the Norfolk bench boss that year. So it's not just Martin St Louis who has experience beating the Jets.

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. – Traveling on the road for the second time this season, the MIT rifle team made it two-for-two away from home with a win over Massachusetts Maritime Academy. The Engineers won both the smallbore and air rifle competitions to come away with a 4,356-3,844 victory. The victories ran MIT's record to 10-2 this season.
Led by senior Nigel Kojimoto's (Honolulu, Hawaii) 551, MIT swept the top four places in the smallbore portion of the match to easily take that discipline. Junior Elizabeth Phillips (Anchorage, Alaska) fired a 539 to finish second, with senior Jennifer de Bruijn's (Harare, Zimbabwe) 535 and junior Timothy Jenks' (The Woodlands, Texas) 515 completing the Engineer sweep. For Jenks it was the second straight outing in which he has shot a 515, his best score of the season.
It was the same story line in the air rifle completion, where the Engineers also posted the top four scores. Kojimoto turned in a 566 to lead all competitors, with Phillips close behind with a 560. Third was de Bruijn with her score of 550, with senior Michael Bautista (Melbourne, Fla.) rounding out the scoring total for MIT with his total of 540
MIT will not be back in action until Dec. 3 when the Engineers will return home to host Massachusetts Maritime and Wentworth Institute of Technology.

Mat - Checked out the decodame link. Surprised to see the same item without the stopper described as a vase. However, looking at the top of the decanter, its quite easy to see how because of the shape.
