Seattle was willing to pay a bit more.Marvin49 wrote:
Since Baalke took over the draft...And did the selecting in a draft in which Scott McCloughan had done the work for 11 months? Giving Baalke all credit for his first draft is unfair. Iupati and Davis were both linked to San Fran before Baalke took over. This does not impugn Baalke as a talent evaluator, but lets be accurate. In fact, Scott had possibly the biggest role of anyone in assembling the current Niner talent.
....and this doesn't even include players like Kyle WIlliams or Anthony Dixon who have been good special teamers (outside of the fumble in the NFCCG for Williams) or players like Daniel Kilgore who are simply waiting for their shot. Kilgore will eventually replace Jonathan Goodwin at Center.
Most of the Niners 2012 Draft class was effectively redshirted. AJ Jenkins did dissappoint as a rookie, but James played very well. Joe Looney was hurt when he was drafted so was never going to play. The Niners traded a number of their picks for picks THIS year and is a reason they at one point had 15 picks. Both of the OLBs they selected (Flemming and Johnson) were injured and will be back this year.Both teams, ours and yours, were considered by almost all to have reached in the first round, and the reports that followed AJ in the following months were terrible. San Fran in no way wanted to redshirt Jenkins, in fact you were desperate for good receivers last year. Evaluating any pick from San Fran in his rookie year is going to be difficult, once again, your HC is not inclined to trust or empower rookies, ours is. I am not saying either is right, in fact your SB loss could be hung on LMJ's fumble, and our loss to the Falcons could come down to a 7th round rookie guard, Sweezy.
So...essentially...all this crap about SF not being able to draft revolves around ONE player...AJ Jenkins. He was not nearly the "reach" people suggest. He was projected by most to go at the top of round 2 and went at the bottom of round 1. He's training in Atlanta with Kaep right now so we'll see how he does in year 2.No logical voice says San Fran can't draft. The facts, however, are simple. Willis, Davis, Gore, Staley, Iupati, Davis, Crabtree, and many more were not talent that can be fully laid at the feet of Baalke. Tell me who on the Seattle squad you can say that about, it is a short list.
Using Jenkins tho as if he is somehow indicative of the 49ers drafting ability when you compare it to the list above is simply ludicrous and homerism of the worst kind.
As for the initial point about Harvin essentially being the Seahawks first pick...
1st round picks don't typically require another 3 the following year plus 65+ million $$$$.
Actually I think it's completely fair to give Baalke credit. Its not like he appeared out of nowhere. He was a big part of putting that draft board together to begin with. He was also the man who pulled the trigger on those drafts. Then he followed that up with a stupendous 2011 draft. I'm not gonna say Scot had nothing to do with the success of this team. Of course he did. I liked him as a GM. Its just too bad he drank like a fish.
I wasn't trying to imply that they intended to redshirt Jenkins. I was saying that that's what happened. It probably would have happned to LMJ as well if Hunter hadn't been hurt. It was tho intended with Joe Looney and ended up being the case with Darius Fleming because he got hurt.
The Niners didn't have many roster spots. They were willing to take an injured player. They were also willing to move picks to THIS year (which is why they have so many).
As for the "your coach won't play rookies" assertion....FALSE. He will play the rookies if they are the best at the position. Aldon Smith had 14 sacks as a rookie. Bruce Miller played DE in college yet STARTED at FB last year as a rookie. Rookies not playing has been a function of who else was on the roster, not an unwillingness to play rookies. I can almost guarantee that the Niners will probably start a rookie at FS this year.
As for Harvin, there is exactly ZERO evidense of this. I don't think the Niners were EVER going to pay Harvin like that and would not have given up that many picks. The 49ers have been attached to almost EVERY team that is trading a player. That hasn't come from SF. That has come from the fact that they have alot of picks and reporters try to connect the dots. They were also attached to Revis....do you see that deal getting done? No. The 49ers are trying to extend their OWN players. It isn't their MO to give up premium picks and huge $$$ for players not already on the roster. Not gonna happen.
The point I was making about Harvin as a 1st round pick was that one of the big benefits for really talented teams is that those first round picks will now be bound to teams for 5 years under very small contracts. To most of the league...big deal. To teams like the 49ers and Seahawks...that IS a big deal. Both of these teams are going to have serious trouble keeping all of their talent. One of the bad parts about drafting so well is that you end up not being able to keep them all. You need an infusion of cheap talent to keep yourself up and running. Spending 65 mil for a WR AND a 1, a 7, and a 3 next year...bad business IMO.
The 49ers are already feeling the pinch. Thats why they lost Goldson. That's why they resigned Bowman 2 years early. Thats why they signed Anthony Davis 2 years early. They know that the prices will be much bigger 2 years from now so they are trying to lock in TODAYS prices. It won't be long before the 'hawks start feeling this pinch as well. I'm never a fan of trading away a 1st round pick. You have a possibility there of a VERY good player bound to you for a cheap price.
Finally...you said that no rational person would say that the Niners can't draft. If that's the case, then you have alot of irrational posters on this site. ;-)

TORONTO, October 14 - Siyouma made the lead at the top of the lane and held on strong to win the $1-million Grade 1 E.P Taylor Stakes, a Breeders' Cup Win & You're In event, Sunday at Woodbine.
Siyouma rated fifth off the early pace of Kapitale in the 1 1/4-mile event, through splits of :25.83, :50.53 and 1:39.20, with Pagera just inside of her in fourth-position. Mosse urged Siyouma to the lead at the top of the lane with Pagera, under Arc de Triomphe-winning jockey Olivier Peslier, and Dream Peace, with Ramon Dominguez in the irons, hot on her heels.
However, Siyouma, despite having to hold on the entire length of the expansive Woodbine stretch would not be caught notching a 1 3/4-length score in 2:03.04. Pagera was up for second, a neck in front of Dream Peace.
Mosse was impressed with his filly's resilience after her winning effort at Newmarket just two weeks ago.
"To be honest, I was not worried about the track, the ground and the filly," said Mosse. "I was just a bit worried two weeks ago…she was in the UK and we won a Group 1 already. It was a bit short in timing, but I told the trainer that if he chose to come, it means we are coming for something solid."
Doumen was full of praise for the Irish-bred Siyouma.
"She's so good and she's so calm," said Doumen. "She has got such a wonderful temperament that it allows her to travel beautifully well and takes all the effort away."
Peslier, who took the Arc with Solemia just one week ago, had no complaints about his trip aboard Pagera.
"We travelled very well and had plenty of chance to gain the lead and did very well to be second," he said. "I think it's (the turf) more heavy, which is not for her, but she ran very well."
Siyouma improved her record to four wins and three thirds from ten lifetime starts while taking the lion's share ($600,00) of the $1-million purse.
She paid $7.70, $4.80 and $3.30, combining with Pagera ($11.50, $6.90) for a $71.70 (3-2) exactor. A 3-2-5 (Dream Peace, $3.10 to show) triactor was worth $344.10 while a $1 superfecta [3-2-5-12 (Kissable)] came back $1,423.10.
Next Question answers 'big time' in Nearctic
TORONTO, October 14 - Next Question, expertly handled by Ramon Dominguez, fended off a late charge from Night Carnation by a half-length to win the $500,000 Grade 1 Nearctic Stakes, Sunday at Woodbine, part of the Pattison Canadian International undercard.
The six furlong race, a Breeders' Cup Win and You're In event run over a 'good' E.P. Taylor Turf Course, drew 11 hopefuls. But the winner, trained by Michael Trombetta, was overlooked by the public, dismissed at 16-1 in his stakes debut, as the four-year-old gelded son of Stormy Atlantic got home in 1:09.32.
Bear Tough Tiger and Next Question duked it out from the beginning, through an opening quarter in :23.03 and a half in :45.71, as the field turned for home.
The pacesetters both hung tough the rest of the way, before Night Carnation, one of two fillies in the field, made a belated bid to just miss. Bear Tough Tiger hung on for third, a half-length further back and a similar margin in front of the mild 5-2 favourite Big Band Sound, who rallied from way back on the outside to finish fourth.
It was the second consecutive win for Next Question, who had entered the Nearctic fresh from an easy seven furlong turf allowance score at Belmont Park on September 12. Last year, he'd broken his maiden in May over Woodbine's Polytrack, his last start of the year, before starting his campaign this year in New York.
The winner, by virtue of today's victory, earns an all-expenses paid berth to the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint on November 3 at Santa Anita. He was also supplemented to the Nearctic at a cost of $10,000. Today's winning purse rewarded owner Three Diamonds Farm with $300,000.
"I knew judging by the paper (Daily Racing Form) that he would be forwardly placed," said Dominguez, the leader rider in money-won in North America this year, with over $19.3 million. "He is a horse with a lot of natural speed and when we left the gate and I saw the (number) one (Bear Tough Tiger) trying to make the lead, I was excited about that. I kind of wanted to rate and stalk, but my horse was really pulling me and taking me forward so I decided to just keep him together. I was very happy with how he relaxed and turning for home he gave me a pretty good kick."
Next Question paid $34.10, $15.30 and $10.70, combining with Night Carnation ($7.80, $6.10) for a $254.40 (7-4) exactor. A 7-4-1 (Bear Tough Tiger, $8) triactor returned $2,143 while a $1 superfecta [7-4-1-8 (Big Band Sound)] came back $5,861.65.
Last year's Nearctic winner, Regally Ready, went on to win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs.
Delegation delivers in Durham Cup
TORONTO, October 14 – Gary Barber's Delegation, a three-year-old bay son of Speightstown, won his first stakes race, taking Sunday's Grade 3, $150,300 Durham Cup Stakes at Woodbine, on Pattison Canadian International day.
At the finish of the mile and one-eighth affair, Delegation and jockey Patrick Husbands stopped the clock in 1:50.60 for the milestone score.
Delegation, who came into the Durham Cup off a rousing five-length romp in a one mile and 70 yard Polytrack race on September 23, bested City Wolf by 1 ¼ lengths. James Street was third.
Confidently handled by Husbands, Delegation took charge at the outset, carving out fractions of :25.45 and :50.59. The duo, two lengths in front at the stretch call, were comfortably able to hold off a late bid from City Wolf.
"He is legit fast leaving the gate and he's not a run off type horse," said Husbands, of the Mark Casse trainee. "He's a Speightstown, which is speed, speed, but when he's on the lead, he's not going to run off on you."
It was the fourth career win from six starts for Delegation, who was unraced at two. He was an unlucky second in the one-mile (turf) Mystic Lake Derby at Canterbury on July 28 and third in the seven-furlong (turf) Grade 2 Play the King Stakes on August 26.
"I always get a bit nervous, but I should know better," said assistant trainer Kathryn Sullivan. "Patrick had the measure of the horse all that way down the stretch and he had it well in hand.
"He has just been doing everything right," continued Sullivan. "He's never been worse than third in his career. He is such a consistent horse and I think he has really been improving."
As the favourite, Delegation paid $4.50, $2.80 and $2.10, combining with City Wolf ($4.30, $3.30) for an $18.30 exactor. James Street ($3.20) completed a $51.80 triactor.

Today is a day filled with mixed emotions. While our loyal fan base will always remember that Nassau Coliseum was our home for over 40 years, we all know that the building has come to serve as a microcosm of Nassau County's political, provincial, and short-sighted agenda. Beginning in the 2015-16 season, players, fans, and management will no longer be ridiculed that their arena should be called the "Mausoleum." There will be no more cloud of uncertainty as to "Where will we play?", no more Coliseum invasions by jilted Quebec Nordiques' fans, and no more concerns that our future is in the hands of NIFA, Kate Murray, Wayne Wink, and others. I will not miss the facilities at the Coliseum, nor should anyone. I will, however, miss the convenience of the short car ride to Uniondale and back, the car horns honking the "Let's Go Islanders!" chant, and the passion and roar of the crowd during those fleeting moments of success over the past 20 years. This is a new start. It is a new opportunity. Today, we continue to keep the Drive for Five Alive. Here's to the future success of the Islanders. Your resilient fans are behind you.- Jacob R.
I have mixed opinions. On one point ill miss the 5 minute commute to a game. On the other hand I'm happy the arena situation is done with and I can go back to enjoying the Islanders knowing they will be staying in New York. There is no excuse for not bringing in free agents and spending above the floor. We have the building blocks to be succesful again and now the arena will not be an excuse anymore.
- Brett C.
As a Suffolk County resident, it will undoubtedly be a touch less convenient to attend games. Instead of a 35-40 minute car ride, it's an hour plus investment via the LIRR. But you know where it would have bee a lot more inconvenient to get to games? Quebec. Or Seattle. Or Kansas City.I've seen some members of the media presenting this as a Nassau vs. Brooklyn thing. Sophisticated fans know that's a false choice. It was never between Nassau and Brooklyn. It was always Brooklyn or bust, and bust was an out-of-state relocation.So to know that I will be able to raise my kids on New York Islanders hockey for at least the next 28 years? That's priceless to me. And the knowledge that this franchise will now benefit from the full exposure of the New York City market, play in a state-of-the-art facility, and become infinitely more attractive to impending free agents? Well, that's all the better.I truly believe this will be a day we'll all remember as we watch JT hoist the Cup over his head on a float going down Atlantic Avenue.
I could not be happier with this move. As an Islanders fan who has since moved from NY, it will be great to be able to get back to Brooklyn to see the Islanders in a state of the art building and I have no doubt that the residents of Brooklyn will embrace this team. I could not be happier for my father, who was lucky enough to have experienced the dynasty years. I cannot imagine what he would have done if the Islanders have left New York. Is this situation perfect? No, but it is far better than our current situation and infinately better then KC, Quebec etc…Thank you Charles Wang and GO ISLANDERS!- Jonathan M.
Huge fan of the blog since the Botta days. Love what you're doing over there. I'm 24... been watching the Isles since I was 2. I live in Suffolk. It's a sad day that they are moving for sure, but for the first time in a long time, they finally have some clarity and direction with the future base of the franchise, and that excites me the most. No more having to hear rumors of them leaving the area and going to Canada, or KC or Seattle. Now they have a sticking point and a sales pitch. They move to a great arena, and bring a whole new sector of fanbase into the equation, and they become a hugely attractive place to play for players around the league. I think the positives of the move for the future stability of the organization out-way the negatives. Thanks for letting me give my input, and Go Isles!- James H.
I don't know how to feel. As a 19 year old, I have no memories from the 80s or 90s but of the 2000s. The Coliseum was old and decrepit but loud and beautiful. I could sit in 315 or 112 and enjoy the same high quality views, sometimes 315 was better for the experience. But the writing was on the wall and it's better Brooklyn than anywhere else so credit goes to Wang. I will miss the Old Barn as much as anyone but I look forward to a fresh start in the best arena in the city.PS Memo to Markowitz- "The Stanley Cup is not in New York. It's on Long Island"-Billy Smith
I have mixed emotions about the move but at the end of the day it is really exciting. I currently live in Nassau but will be moving to Western Suffolk so the commute will not be ideal, but you can't commute at all to Kansas City, Seattle or Quebec. I think the players and us fans deserve better and now we are going to get it. While not in our backyards anymore they will still be the New York Islanders and I will continue to cheer for this team until the day I die.
As a resident of Nassau County, I am upset about the hole this will blow in the Nassau County's tax revenue. I wonder what fees County Executive Mangano will raise (if he is still in office) so he can continue to say that he did not raise property taxes?
As an Islanders fan, I am sad that they are leaving their historical home. I have had half or full season tickets for the last 5 years. There is no way I will continue to do that when they are in Brooklyn. It will be a weekend plan at best starting in 2015-2016. Though, it will be nice to go to a building that is not as old as I am.
As a former resident of Nassau County who grew up 15 minutes from the Coliseum during the glory years I admit there there is a part of me that is sorry to see the Isles leave. For my generation they helped to forge an identity for Long Island when they won the cups. However given the franchise's trajectory and the inept/corrupt political scene on Long Island (and Hempstead in particular), the move to Brooklyn is the best thing that could happen to the Isles. The team moves into first class facilities, the potential fanbase goes up astronomically, and they become a magnet for free agents with their solid core of young talent. I no longer live in the area so I won't comment on getting to the arena, but it's always more exciting to watch a game with people actually in the seats.Thanks to Charles Wang for putting up with the mess he bought into, and for keeping the team in the area. Now its time to build a team that contends for the cup on an annual basis, and makes the Rag$ look like the pathetic franchise that they truly are.
I'm thrilled! As a longtime season ticketholder who has been schlepping from Brooklyn on the LIRR for years, This is great pwrsonally. But more importantly, it's a great move for the team. It keeps the team on Long Island - remember that Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island.
As a lifelong fan who grew up in Bethpage off of Hemp. Tpke, played travel hockey and even got to play a few HS games at the Coliseum and who currently lives in Manhattan I could not be happier about this move.
It is sad that it is now official that Nassau will never be home to the Isles again but we knew that the dream was dead when the referendum failed. This is the only way the Isles would stay in the area and hey we still get to say we're on Long Island.
Living and working in Manhattan I only got to 3-5 games a year, now I plan on buying season tickets so this is nothing but the best outcome for me personally.Big Picture this is will make the Isles relevant again, with the cache that comes from playing in Brooklyn, the prospects of young talented Isles team in a sparkling new arena, I mean the sky is the limit to how far this will take them in terms of new fans an being recognized as a true NY team.
I am sad the coliseum will be torn down and Kate Murray will look to build a Target and maybe the Source II and the loss this will all have on the local economy, but Nassau has no one else to blame than themselves.
Wang is no angel but I thank him for keeping the NY ISLANDERS alive and well!!
Had season tix personally over a decade, old man had them before me since the mid '70's. Ecstatic the team is staying in NY, hate losing the island/suburb identity. Hate becoming the big money corporate sports entity even though we all know its the only way the team survives. Hate even more that I must give up my tix, moreso for my kids who have become big fans over the last 5 or so years. I hate that when I was 12 I was celebrating a cup win on Hempstead tpke., and my son at 12 will be watching as the old barn is falling apart, knowing that there are only 3 yrs left til "our" team becomes less personal. What was a 4 1/2 hour night coming from suffolk just turned into a 7 hour night, and we all know prices are going up, let alone the train costs. Good for team, crappy for those of us who have stuck with it for so long will no longer be able to attend.
As a former season ticket holder (from New Jersey) and Islander fan since 1975, this is a great move. But I'm being selfish. The presence of mass transit makes this a great buy, especially during the week and most especially if you work in Manhattan.
Let me take this opportunity to address how and why (in my opinion) the Islanders' attendance has eroded over the last 25 years. It's not just the mediocre or bad teams. It's the move from 8:00pm weeknight starts to 7:00. Commentators forget how many Islanders' fans work in "the city" and must contend with the LIE going eastbound at rush hour. I remember seeing fans routinely arrive at weeknight games during the second period! Prior management played to its "fan base" and I guess that works...if you work in Jericho and live in Merrick. Many other longtime fans felt the inconvenience, and guess what? Over the years, they stayed away. They've had no shortage of reasons.
The move to Brooklyn will immediately make the Islanders "major league" in the eyes of the overall metropolitan area media, in the exact same way the Nets' move to Brooklyn and even the Devils' move to Newark changed how they were perceived almost from the date their moves were announced. The Islanders are not covered by any of the big three city dailies, and in a move reminiscent of minor-league teams, rely on a college radio station for their game broadcasts. They will get more fans, more advertisers, more sponsors, and they will sign up quickly in advance of the actual move. It's a win-win for the franchise, the NHL and for fans living west of the Queens/Nassau border.
On the other hand, Suffolk County fans will essentially lose their team. This is a 30-to-45-minute move west, even in the best of circumstances. For them, this will be almost as bad as the Jets moving from Shea Stadium to Giants Stadium.
Now, if we can only get a real coach...
- Josh J.It's a bittersweet feeling; 20% bitter, 80% sweet. The Islanders I know are Long Island's team. They play, not necessarily at the Coliseum, but in the heart of Long Island. As a fan since 1992, when I was 7-years-old, their woes have helped ingrain the Islanders, in my mind, as our little secret. Hockey fans, as a whole, are a bit of a secret society in the States. The Islanders, due in part to their storied history, their arena, their woes, and their geography gave Long Islanders an underdog status the face of bigger, more popular destinations and teams in the area. It's an underdog status that helps build an identity, and our identity as Long Islanders included the New York Islanders. It remains to be seen how much of that will be lost. Still it is bitter to hear Mayor Bloomberg speak of a celebration down the Canyon of Heroes and not Hempstead Turnpike. It's bitter to hear Marty Markowitz speak of the Islanders as if they are Brooklyn's own as if it were an expansion team. Brooklyn may be only twenty or so miles away geographically, but our New York Islanders are now lightyears closer to the heartbeat of the world. Our secret... it's out.Yet it's sweet, so sweet, to hear of talk of a celebration in New York at all. And it's wonderful to hear about how the impact of more fans, more corporate sponsorships and above all, certainty will positively impact this franchise. It is sweet to know that positive impact will be effected close to its original home. It's easy for people to get bogged down in fantasy, such as plight to keep the team in Nassau County or relocate to a barren Suffolk. As Islander fans, as Long Islanders, reality has become all too real a spectre in the last 10 years, a negative reality. This new reality, one of a propsperous and certain future for our beloved team, and for it to remain ours, is the best news we could have hoped for.
Good for Wang and the organization, the Nassau County is a mismanaged entity and has zero business sense. Glad I left that hole 13 years ago. Great people, disgusting politicians. Hope the taxpayers enjoy their Molly Hatchett and Zebra concerts.- Tom
- Keith D.
I have some conflicting feelings about the Islanders move to Brooklyn.
On the one hand, I'm thrilled/relieved that the team has finally extricated itself from "The Old Barn", an arena everyone loathed and the owner couldn't make any money from. Charles Wang has (presumably) moved himself into a situation where he can actually turn a profit from hockey operation, a propsect that should encourage him to invest more money into his team. That's the Islanders fans' hope: with a new home, Charles Wang opens his wallet once again and lets Garth Snow sign some premier free agents. From a competitive standpoint, the Islanders' future appears brighter than it's been in years (maybe even decades).
At the same time, though, I must confess to being dejected over the fact that Long Island is losing its only professional sports team. I grew up on Long Island. I have spent nearly all of my 43 years living on Long Island. I plan on dying on Long Island. The fact that the Islanders' address will soon have a New York City zip code depresses me. So much more so because I won't be able to remain a full season ticket holder. I live east of Port Jefferson. Getting to the Nassau Coliseum was enough of a hike as it is. To get to Brooklyn from where I live, I need to spend two hours on the Long Island Rail Road. That makes remaining a full season ticket holder is out of the question for me. I'll have to look into buying a weekend game package. It's not the same thing as being a full season ticket holder though. Other subscribers will know what I'm talking about when I say it's a point of pride to have tickets to an ENTIRE season worth of games. (And let's not forget that Islanders season tickets are VERY affordable. I fear how expensive they might become in Brooklyn.)
But in the end, I have to understand that Jay Jacobs and Kate Murray made it impossible for the Islanders to remain in Nassau County, and I am comforted by the fact that Charles Wang kept the team in the vicinity. He didn't move them to Seattle or Quebec City or Hamilton. He kept them within a two hour train ride from my house. I'll manage it. The commute will be tolerable for a winning team.
Let's Go Islanders!
I'm thrilled! Nassau County, and Hempstead in particular no longer deserve a major league franchise. They have tried to drive the Islanders away and now they have succeeded. Kate Murray can enjoy her weed-filled lot in Uniondale while I watch the Isles on TV Like so many other things in Nassau County, I grew up there, but I left for better living and opportunities in Nevada.- John K.
I think I'm a Nets fan now! (I'm in the Kings DMA).
I've been an Islander fan all my life, and am ecstatic to learn that my nightmares of this team moving to Kansas City or Quebec City will never be realized. At the same time, I'll be leaving for college next year, and am not effected by the team moving from a few minute drive to a marginally more expensive and lengthy time-wise train ride. I'm sadden that younger friends and family of mine won't be able to as easily take advantage of student seating that was more than affordable to me and several friends for more than half of home games. What troubles me is the ever fleeting reasons to remain in Nassau County. Aside from my family residing here and my favorite team playing only a few minutes away, there is little reason for me to return to the Town of Hempstead. Why should I stay here when I could live in Brooklyn or even Manhattan and have quicker access to the city and just as fast (if not faster) transportation to the Barclay's Center? I'm more than sure my parents will move out of their overly-priced neighborhood with the Islanders gone once I venture off into life. I also worry for local businesses around the Uniondale area, and how much they will suffer without generating revenue that surrounds the team. A small part of me does feel satisfied that this should lead to a slight decrease in tax revenue for the town; a last little "FU" to Kate Murray as Charles and Garth hop onto the LIRR and get as far away from her and Mangano as possible.- Ethan T.
For me, today can only be described as bittersweet.- Chris M.
Bitter because the Isles will no longer truly be Long Island's team; bitter because it illustrates in stark relief the truly dysfunctional nature of Nassau politics; bitter because in just a few more years, the old barn where I saw my first hockey game, fell in love with the team, and got to know like the back of my hand, will see hockey no more; bitter because all of the memories made there can never truly be relocated to a new arena...
But, it is also very sweet. Sweet because we know our beloved team will stay (somewhat) local; sweet because we will finally have a new arena; sweet because now our owner and general manager have no excuses when it comes to signing free agents (other than a general unwillingness to spend); and sweet because the years full of "what ifs?" and "what will happen?" are finally over.
But when all is said and done, all I--all anyone--should really say is this: LET'S GO ISLANDERS!

Flooding Continues in Gallatin County
UPDATED - 5:40pm
Flooding from Thursday's runoff continued to cause problems in Gallatin County today. While many locations affected by flooding on Thursday have dried up, some are still working to drain out with Manhattan being the most impacted. Crews worked hard all day to pump water out of the East Main Street area of Manhattan with numerous large capacity pumps moving the water to a location where it could drain. After the water on the street is removed, crews will work with property owners to help get the water out of the buildings.
A town meeting has been setup for Monday (3/10/14) night at 7:00 pm in the Manhattan Junior High School Gym. The purpose for the meeting is to obtain information from those affected by the flooding on what damages they have incurred, and provide information to them on what assistance may be available. Our hope is that people will have an opportunity to access their property and develop an estimate of the damage before the meeting on Monday. This meeting is open to anyone that has been affected by flooding this week.
While flooding in some places overnight has receded, other areas are now seeing the impact from the sudden runoff. Many of the homes and road directly affected yesterday have seen the water level drop with many standing pools left while they get absorbed or slowly drain out. Several areas in the Town of Manhattan have unfortunately turned into holding ponds and are having to be pumped out to locations where the water can drain. The major impact is the area along East Main Street in Manhattan where the water has become trapped.
While the much of the area has seen relief over the night on water level, residents should expect to see the water flow increase through the day and the temperature warms up. The question will be how much the water levels will increase today. Unfortunately this is very hard to predict and we won't really know until afterwards. Anyone that has already been affected by flooding, or were close to being affected, should be prepared for more flooding today and closely monitor conditions through the day.
The best source for sand bags in the Gallatin Valley is Bozeman Brick on Jackrabbit. Water pumps can be obtained from many of the rental and construction companies in the area.

Free Trade Doesn't Work
An alternative news source to the mainstream media. Important stories relating to current geopolitical events and charting future trends. Real news, ---no bullshit. (Est. 2007)
If people no longer expect objectivity from their political and legal systems, then all justice will be reduced to a power struggle between conflicting and irreconcilable perspectives, a struggle in which the most dominant and pervasive bias will replace fair and impartial process as the character of justice. But if objectivity in law and politics is everywhere supplanted by conflict between subjective interests, then the side of economic privilege and established authority will always retain dominance. A society in which people no longer expect representatives of its major institutions even to attempt to render objectivity in their professional demeanours is a society whose major institutions are in a crisis of ethical legitimacy. In such a society, there is wide spread cynicism regarding the possibility of fair political process because it seems impossible that impartial, unbiased dispositions could exist to enact such processes.

Washington - When House majority leader Steny Hoyer (D) of Maryland and Senate majority whip Richard Durbin (D) of Illinois met reporters Tuesday to discuss the president's State of the Union address, many of the questions focused instead on the 2008 presidential election.
Senator Durbin, who is co-chairman of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, said it was "nothing short of amazing" that the campaign was able to keep secret Sen. Edward Kennedy's decision to endorse Senator Obama from last Wednesday until Sunday. He said the endorsement, formally announced at a Washington rally Monday, "was historic and will give momentum to the victory in South Carolina."
But at the Monitor-sponsored breakfast, Durbin raised the possibility that the Democratic nomination battle could be so close that the winner might not be known until the party's August convention in Denver. "It could be, really could be, the situation where we will be headed to Denver with still some uncertainty about who the nominee will be," he said.
Both men reacted sharply to charges by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that Washington is broken. "If Washington is broken, the Republicans broke it," Representative Hoyer said. "If Washington is broken from Romney's perspective, it is broken because the president and the Republicans in the United States Senate who have enough votes to prevent action in the United States Senate are the ones who broke it."
It is not surprising that key members of the Democratic congressional leadership did not find President Bush's final State of the Union address a stirring call to action.
It "was a speech that reflected a recognition that his term is pretty much at an end," said Hoyer, the House's second-ranking Democrat. "I thought it was certainly not a visionary speech...."
The talk "was a lifeless recitation of the president's beliefs," Durbin added. "It is his story, and he is sticking with it...."
But Durbin singled out for praise Mr. Bush's request that Congress reauthorize his AIDS relief plan and double the plan's funding with an additional $30 billion over five years.
"I applauded ... his renewed commitment to the global AIDS fight," Durbin said. "Of all the things this president has done in the foreign-policy realm, it is the one thing that he can point to with pride in years to come after his presidency."
Both congressional leaders pushed back against the president's plans to crack down on earmarks, which are pet congressional spending projects in members' districts. In his speech, Bush said he would veto any spending bill that does not cut the number and cost of earmarks in half. And he promised to issue an executive order telling federal agencies to ignore any future earmark that is dropped into a committee report rather than being explicitly voted on by Congress.
It would cost "$2 trillion to extend the president's tax cuts through 2014," Durbin noted. "If we are talking about getting a grip on our budget and on our deficit, how can the president so blithely call for $2 trillion in increase in the deficit and then hammer away at these piddling little earmarks, as if this is really what the fiscal future of America is all about?"

'2 Guns' shoots to No. 1 at weekend box office
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The action-packed "2 Guns" is No. 1 at the weekend box office.
The Universal film starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg pulled the trigger to capture the top spot with $27.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The picture is based on a graphic novel of the same name and features Washington as a DEA agent and Wahlberg as a Naval Intelligence officer who must team up for an undercover operation involving drug traffickers and the CIA.
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, said "2 Guns" opened at the studio's expectations and attributed the film's success to Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur and the first-time pairing of Washington and Wahlberg.
"It was super casting," she said. "There was remarkable chemistry. The two of them work so well together. You see it on screen. Baltasar really gave them the energy to be able to do what they did in this film."
Fox's Japan-set superhero flick "The Wolverine" starring Hugh Jackman as the clawed warrior scratched out the No. 2 spot with $21.7 million in its second weekend, bringing the Marvel icon's total domestic haul to $95 million. "Wolverine" earned another $38.5 million in 67 international territories.
"The Smurfs 2" launched in the No. 3 position with $18.2 million. While Sony's kid-friendly computer-generated sequel based on the blue-hued cartoon franchise debuted below expectations in North America, "Smurfs 2″ earned a bright $52.5 million in 43 international markets.
"It is one of those films that seems to resonate on every continent," said Rory Bruer, Sony's president of worldwide distribution. "We have about 36 big territories to go, including China. They love the blue ones."
The Warner Bros. haunted house tale "The Conjuring" crossed the $100 million mark at No. 4 domestically after exorcising $13.7 million in its third weekend.
Elsewhere at the box office, Sundance Film Festival favorite "The Spectacular Now" starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley earned $190,000 in four theaters in its debut weekend, while "The Canyons" made just $16,000 at two theaters, though "Canyons" distributor IFC Films said the erotic thriller starring Lindsay Lohan is performing strongly through video-on-demand services.
Other smaller films continued to perform solidly at the box office, including Sundance winner "Fruitvale Station" with $2.7 million in 1,086 theaters and director Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine" with $2 million in 50 theaters.
"Summer is not just about blockbusters," said Paul Dergarabedian of box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "It's also about Woody Allen. It's about specialized films that challenge the audience — or are just different from the traditional, cookie-cutter, summer-style movie."
Overall ticket sales this weekend were up more than 15 percent over the same weekend last summer, Dergarabedian said.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
1. "2 Guns,"$27.4 million.
2. "The Wolverine," $21.7 million ($38.5 million international).
3. "The Smurfs 2," $18.2 million ($52.5 million international).
4. "The Conjuring," $13.7 million ($11.6 million international).
5. "Despicable Me 2," $10.4 million ($13.8 million international).
6. "Grown Ups 2," $8.1 million ($2.8 million international).
7. "Turbo," $6.4 million ($6.9 million international).
8. "Red 2," $5.6 million ($9.3 million international).
9. "The Heat," $4.7 million ($6.9 million international).
10. "Pacific Rim," $4.6 million ($53 million international).
Estimated weekend ticket sales at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak:
1. "Pacific Rim," $53 million.
2. "The Smurfs 2," $52.5 million.
3. "The Wolverine," $38.5 million.
4. "Snowpiercer," $18 million.
5. "Despicable Me 2," $13.8 million.
6. "Now You See Me," $13.1 million.
7. "The Conjuring," $11.6 million.
8. "Monsters University," $11.4 million.
9. "The Terror Live," $9.5 million.
10. "Red 2," $9.3 million.

Difference between revisions of "Catawba Island"
Revision as of 19:38, 15 July 2008
Catawba Island [7] is part of the Ottawa County peninsula. Catawba Island is one of 12 townships that make up Ottawa County, Ohio. It is commonly referred to as Catawba and Catawba Island, although it is a not an island as its name implies. Due to its sheltered bay and inlets, land elevation along the shore with fewer cliffs and easy access to Lake Erie, it has become one of the preferred areas for pleasure boat owners to dock and store their boats. Development was stagnant for years due to lack of sanitary sewer. Once this was improved, Catawba Island Peninsula started to bloom, with all sorts of improvements, condo's, expensive homes, marinas and businesses. It has become a preferred destination for those enjoying Lake Erie waters.
Get in
By air
By boat
Boat launch
By car
Get around
You can enter Catawba Island from SR 53 exit off of SR 2 or Sand Road off of SR 2. Both meet each other at Catawba Point, in a loop around the peninsula. On land, motorcycles, bicycles, cars, golf carts, walking and running are popular. On the water, about every form of transportation is available for rent.
Catawba Island has a agricultural history as well as a marine history. A lot of land on Catawba Island was dedicated to farming, vineyards, orchards, truck farms and such. Today development is converting some of this land for other uses, but much of its agricultural heritage remains. In the warmer months you will find no lack of local vegetables and fruits for sale at the road side.
Stay safe
Catawba Island is like a big playground for kids and adults, with a long shoreline. Things happen. If you are not familiar with small boats, keep in mind they move when you get in and/or least expect it. Make sure you wear or know where your life preserver is as soon as you get into a smaller boat. Lake Erie is a big and wonderful place, some areas like this have extreme traffic on the roads and water, both from commercial and pleasure craft. The Coast Guard is always looking for those who abuse the waterways and will not hesitate to arrest for drinking while operating a watercraft or other infringements. Play safely and no one will bother you.
Get out
The islands listed below are either in Ottawa County or close to it. Some like Pelee, are in Canada, different fishing license required.

House GOP's 2012 Budget Promises Overhaul of Energy, Environmental Goals
By ELANA SCHOR of Greenwire
Published: April 5, 2011
More News From Greenwire
House Republicans rolled out a 2012 budget today that aims to vastly reshape federal policy on a number of fronts, cutting energy research, agriculture subsidies and the government workforce while lifting current "moratoriums and bans" on domestic fossil-fuel exploration.
The budget blueprint released by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) marks a raising of the stakes for a 2011 spending battle that continues to leave the capital braced for a potential Friday shutdown. But even as Ryan's plan generates national attention for its approach to entitlements and corporate taxes, his budget also promises to be a potent vehicle for advancing domestic production and regulatory easing proposals that Republicans have dubbed the "American Energy Initiative."
Ryan's rundown of the House GOP budget, which his committee is set to begin marking up tomorrow, blasts the Obama administration for creating "a heavy-handed compliance culture in the energy sector" through regulations and spending, particularly the 2009 stimulus law.
"The results are plain to see: Gas prices have more than doubled since the President took office," the House GOP budget summary states. "Burdensome and ineffective regulations on businesses in the service of dubious environmental goals have driven up the prices of many products and services, while creating barriers for needed capital investment and job creation."
That blistering critique mirrors much of the rhetoric that Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.), and Natural Resources Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) have employed all year long in bidding to remake White House energy and environmental efforts. The series of energy-related legislation that Republicans are advancing as part of their "initiative," given a plug in Ryan's budget, include plans to speed up oil and gas permitting in the Gulf of Mexico and expand offshore leasing (Greenwire, March 29).
The Ryan budget vows to remove "bureaucratic barriers" to domestic energy production, in part by lifting "moratoriums on safe, responsible energy exploration in the United States." While promoting an end to current de facto bans on offshore drilling in the Atlantic, Alaska and the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the budget also promises to promote "nuclear, wind, solar, and more" low-carbon energy sources.
The budget's top-line plan for $5.8 trillion in cuts to projected spending over the next 10 years did not include more granular estimates of where federal environmental and energy funding would be most deeply pared. But U.S. EPA is likely to face further austerity under the GOP's 2012 plan, particularly in light of the $3 billion in cuts for the rest of 2011 that the House passed as part of its February continuing resolution (CR).
After noting that EPA "received a 36 percent budget increase in just two short years," the Ryan plan vows to cut "government bureaucracies seeking to impose a job-destroying national energy tax" -- an apparent reference to the agency's greenhouse gas emissions regulations.
Democrats joined clean-energy advocates in gearing up to parry Ryan's budgetary priorities almost as soon as he left the stage today.
The former camp focused on tax benefits for major oil companies that would continue under the GOP budget, and the latter took on the budget chief's plan to slice federal spending on "applied and commercial [energy] research or development projects best left to the private sector."
The House budget "protects existing regulated markets and guts innovation -- particularly applied research and development that are parts of the valley of death for too many companies -- while pulling the rug out from under clean energy deployment," Josh Freed, director of the energy program at the centrist think tank Third Way, said in a statement.
"As troubling, it continues business as usual on fossil fuels under the guise of reducing regulation and increasing energy independence."
The budget panel's top Democrat, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, rapped Ryan and his party for "trying to focus on a very, very narrow piece of the budget" by slashing domestic discretionary spending to 2008 levels and freezing them for five years.
"They don't want to talk about cuts to things like subsidies for the oil companies," Van Hollen said of the Republicans on CNN, invoking a favorite line of attack for Democrats (E&E Daily, April 5). "And so, if we're really going to have a conversation about reducing the deficit, you need everything on the table."
Workforce and farm payments
In addition to the expansion of domestic fuel exploration and cuts to energy research, Ryan's budget also aims to shrink the size of the federal workforce by requiring that only one new worker be hired for every three who retire.
That mandate, according to the House budget, would amount to 10 percent cut to the federal workforce over the next three years. Federal workers' pay, meanwhile, would be frozen until 2015.
The House budget also seeks to overhaul the current farm-subsidy structure by slicing "the fixed payments that go to farmers irrespective of price levels" and ending what Ryan's team referred to as "open-ended" agriculture supports.
Cutting those agriculture benefits is a longstanding goal of fiscal hawks who hotly anticipated today's GOP budget. But the ultimate reshaping of farm payments rests with the Agriculture Committee, as Ryan's plan notes, and is not expected to begin until the next farm bill takes effect -- giving industry interests ample time to lobby for the current system to remain in place.
Briefing reporters today alongside Senate Budget Chairman Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Ryan did not back down from his past predictions that the GOP budget could become a cudgel for Democrats who are already lambasting its major shakeups to Medicare and Medicaid.
Asked if his fellow Republicans had expressed concern that the budget could put them in a political bind, Ryan quipped: "You know, none of them say that -- just kidding."
New stopgap CR nixed?
Even as Ryan moved the Capitol Hill spending dialogue toward 2012, maneuvering over the 2011 budget cycle remained intense today. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other leaders left a White House meeting this morning emphasizing that no deal had been reached ahead of Friday's deadline to keep the government open.
Moreover, Republicans criticized the White House for ruling out a seventh stopgap funding plan -- released by House appropriators in the witching hour today -- that pays for Pentagon operations until fiscal 2012 while cutting $12 billion over the next week in other federal programs (E&E Daily, April 5).
"[W]hat really it looks like is the White House now has increased the likelihood of a shutdown in just dismissing out of hand a vehicle that we have put forward that says look, we don't want a shutdown," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters today.
In a summary of the White House meeting released to reporters, Boehner's office underscored that it has not given ground on the multiple policy riders that were attached to its February funding plan -- more than a dozen of which restrict administration environmental policies.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- We might want to be even more careful with what information we are uploading to Facebook. That's because it's one of the easiest ways for someone to steal our identity.
The U.S Postal Service says scammers could be using our profiles to gain information about us. The agency wants to draw more attention to identity theft, especially lottery schemes. That's when suspects claim we won something, then ask us to pay for shipping fees to get our credit card information. Officers say it's hard to track thieves down considering not every victim reports a scam.
"Scams are always successful when they're tied to emotion. So a lottery scam, you know who wants to be a big winner, well who doesn't want to be a big winner, everyone does. So it ties to emotion. If somebody is out of a job and they take the opportunity for a work at home scam, because they need the money to survive and they're looking for work," said Tom Brady.
The Rockford Police Department has a special unit to investigate these scams, so they are working on this case.

For the ninth consecutive year, Accenture's Top 10 Challenges for Investment Banks series takes a closer look at the top issues capturing the C-suite's attention. Bob Gach shares highlights from our research and his perspective on the findings.
If you had to sum up this year's series in a single word, what would it be?
Acceleration. Interest and investment in financial technology, or Fintech, has skyrocketed. Technologies like robotic automation, blockchain and distributed ledger technology, which were previously the subject of pilot projects, are now seeing wider adoption and have the potential to become part of the industry's new operating environment.
There's no question that the world around investment banks is accelerating. What's become increasingly clear, however, is that investment banks must accelerate too—creating new capabilities, forming new partnerships and adopting new digital technologies—if they wish to keep pace.

DELAND, Fla. (Feb. 9, 2013) – Saturday magic struck again for the ETSU men's basketball team.
Down 20 points with just 12 minutes left in their game with Stetson, the Buccaneers rallied to close the contest on a 28-7 offensive run and ultimately grabbed the lead courtesy of a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) with six seconds left, dropping the Hatters 62-61 in Atlantic Sun Conference action at the Edmunds Center.
The win marks the fourth Saturday victory in league play for the Bucs this season, as well as the fourth time this year that the team has rallied from a double-digit, second-half deficit to win. With the victory, ETSU improved to 8-18 overall, 6-7 in A-Sun play, while Stetson dropped to 10-14, 7-6.
"Wow, this team just has an innate ability to comeback," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "When we were down 20 with 12 minutes left, that game can easily become a 30-point loss. But all year this team has found a way to battle and fight. Rashawn made a big shot, but again this was a win where several guys made plays – especially down the stretch."
The Bucs certainly made plays during the final minutes, but things didn't start out well at all.
In the first half, Stetson hit on 8-of-16 shots from 3-point range and abused ETSU's defensive pressure to take a 38-26 lead at the break. Before the intermission, the Bucs were equally inept on the offensive end and shot just 37 percent from the floor and 33 percent from the foul line (3-of-9).
Things only got worse in the opening moments of the second half, as Stetson manufactured a 10-0 offensive run to make it 54-34 with just over 12 minutes left in the game. At that point, the Bucs switched a full-court press defensive scheme which included a trapping half-court strategy as well.
That switch helped make Stetson ineffective offensively, while leading to several easy buckets for the Bucs as ETSU went on a 15-1 run to make it 55-49 with just over four minutes left. From there, it appeared Stetson would hold on as they scored the next three points to regain a nine-point edge.
However, the Bucs closed on another 11-3 run to get the win. Rembert's game-winning shot came after the Bucs inbounded the ball with 16 seconds left and senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) avoided the Hatters' defensive pressure to find Rembert open in the right corner.
With 5.4 seconds left, Stetson's Joel Naburgs attempted to force the ball up the floor for the win, but the Bucs stopped his progress and his pass attempt was intercepted by ETSU's sophomore post John Walton (Memphis) as time expired.
For the game, Jones finished with a game-high 17 points, while Rembert netted 16. Junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) also had a strong game with a double-double effort thanks to his 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Stetson got a team-high 15 points from Aaron Graham, while Adam Pegg netted 10.
The Bucs will return to action at home on Thursday, taking on Kennesaw State at 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

The head of a Baltimore County public employees union says workers are outraged over the lucrative pension deals of County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and former councilmen Sam Moxley and Vince Gardina.
An amendment to a 2010 pension reform law allowed employees, including the three men, to return to work for the county and accrue new pension benefits while earning their salary. The overall package reduced government workers' pension benefits.
"General county employees have all made great sacrifices to help ensure the health stability of the county, not to just go into someone else's pockets," John Ripley, president of the Baltimore County Federation of Public Employees, said this week.
Moxley now serves as the county's lobbyist, and Gardina heads the environment department. The three men, who were all on the council for the vote, will get lump sums when they retire — benefiting by at least $160,000 each.
A Baltimore Sun editorial published last Sunday highlighted the men's retirement benefits.
"County employees are outraged that they are hearing renewed threats of furloughs at a time when these kinds of so-called loopholes are being exposed," Ripley said, referring to recent statements by Kamenetz's administration that it has not ruled out furloughs for some county workers.
Some members of the County Council say they have heard complaints from constituents. Others are questioning the fairness of the deal, but none on the panel are planning any formal action.
"It sounds like double dipping to me," Councilwoman Cathy Bevins said. The Middle River Democrat said the issue is "worth a discussion with my colleagues."
"We're talking about it," said Councilman Tom Quirk, a Democrat from Catonsville. "That's as far as we've gotten."
Councilwoman Vicki Almond said she's been talking about the pensions with other council members, but "I'm not sure that there's anything really that we can fix."
"I don't really like the thought of going backwards," Almond said. "Our pension is certainly different from the older group. I'm just thinking that perhaps we should just move forward."
Kamenetz chief of staff Don Mohler declined to comment on the pensions, but said Kamenetz has been "open" about his retirement benefits.
"It's an old issue," Mohler said.
Only two members of the current council were in office when the law was passed — Council Chairman John Olszewski Sr. and Councilman Kenneth N. Oliver.
"We passed the amendment, but whether or not they were going to take advantage of that, we didn't know," said Oliver, a Randallstown Democrat.
Oliver said he didn't think there is anything wrong with the pensions.
"I wouldn't stop anyone from making a living to support their family," he said.
Olszewski, a Dundalk Democrat, said he voted for the law because if someone "wants to collect that pension and there's a need for him to work in the county system, I think he should have the ability to do that."
Councilman David Marks said he planned to talk to the administration and his colleagues about the pensions. He received some emails from constituents after the Sun editorial was published, he said.
"A handful of people have raised concerns about the cost," said Marks, a Perry Hall Republican. "I'm not making any judgments or decisions right now. … I'm just going to talk to my colleagues and explore the matter further."
Councilman Todd Huff, a Lutherville Republican, declined to comment, saying he wasn't familiar with the issue.

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University volleyball suffered its first home loss of the season tonight, dropping three straight sets to unbeaten Tufts University. Set scores were 25-12, 25-21, 25-20, in favor of the Jumbos. With the loss, the Judges fall to 7-4 on the season, while Tufts moves to 6-0.
Tufts ran away with the first set, scoring seven straight points to extend an early 5-4 lead to 12-4 with rookie Kelly Brennan (Burr Ridge, Ill./Fenwick) picking up three kills and a block assist in the run. The Jumbos were ahead by nine, 16-7, when the hosts made a push, scoring four in a row on two Tufts errors and two kills by rookie outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) that cut the Brandeis deficit to five at 16-11. Tufts stopped the Judges' momentum with a time out and went on to close the set on a 9-1 run.
The second set was a much tighter affair. Brandeis took an early 3-1 lead on a kill by junior middle blocker Becca Fischer (San Antonio, Texas/Clark). Tufts was able to score the next two points to knot the game at 3-3. They led by as many as four points at 11-7 on a block by junior Kiersten Ellefsen (Goshen, N.Y./Goshen) and rookie Isabel Kuhel (Brisbane, Calif./San Francisco Waldorf). Brandeis responded with five of the next six points, tying the set on back-to-back kills by Hood. The Judges were unable to maintain momentum, however, committing errors on four of the next six points to fall behind by four again at 17-13 on an ace by Jumbo senior Lexi Nicholas. Brandeis got back in the set, though, going on a 4-1 run that culminated in a nice kill by sophomore setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) to cut the lead to 19-18. Tufts was able to take advantage of a couple more Brandeis errors to reclaim momentum, closing the set on a 4-1 run, thanks to two kills by Brennan and a nice back-row attack by Ellefsen.
The third set followed a similar formula, with Tufts taking an early three-point lead at 7-4 but unable to pull away. Brandeis took a brief 9-8 lead on a Fischer kill, but the Jumbos scored three in a row. The went back ahead, 11-9, on a cross-court kill by Ellefsen. Down by an 18-14 score, the Judges rode three Fischer kills and a service ace by junior outside hitter Susan Sun (Acton, Mass./Acton-Boxborough) to tie the game at 19-19. Again, a Brandeis error cost the hosts momentum, and Tufts was able to close on a 6-1 run to close out the match.
Brandeis was led offensively by Hood, who had 10 kills, and Fischer, who had nine, including seven in the third set. Einhorn finished with 29 assists and 11 digs for her first double-double of the season. Defensively, rookie libero Elsie Bernaiche (Planstville, Conn./Southington) had a team-high 12 digs, while Fischer finished with three blocks (one solo). Sun had three service aces.
Ellefsen paced the Tufts attack with 12 kills while adding three block assists. Junior setter Kendall Lord (La Jolla, Calif./The Bishop's School) just missed a double-double with 33 assists and nine digs, as did Brennen, who had nine kills and 11 digs. Kuhel finished with four blocks (one solo) on the defensive end, whole senior libero Audrey Kuan (Los Altos, Calif./Castilleja) had 13 digs, a match-high.
Brandeis is next in action at the Amherst Classic against the host school on Friday evening, while Tufts hosts Endicott and Smith at the same time.

The L Word
September 15, 2010
I finally gave up and decided that we both probably needed to go play outside for awhile.
Three months ago, my mom mentioned my dad's platelet count. Among probably a good five or six other things that were of concern. Ever since the roller-coaster ride of his heart surgery and multiple bouts of pneumonia, I haven't written much about my dad, I know. There was almost too much to say, what with the continued irregular heartbeat episodes, his permanently damaged lungs keeping him tethered to an oxygen machine 24/7, his diabetes, his hearing loss, the falls, macular degeneration, mysterious bruising, overwhelming fatigue, and the depression that inevitably comes when your age and body and health turn on you so dramatically, when the few simple pleasures you have left -- reading and watching baseball on TV -- are slowly slipping away behind increasingly cloudy vision.
He only leaves the house for doctor's visits, and there are so many, and there never seems to be good news or an all-clear from any of them anymore. Something else to watch and monitor. Suspicious growths that need to be removed, minor surgery to be performed, something new to be followed up on in three months, give or take the specialist's vacation schedule.
So I didn't really think much of the platelet count thing at all.
Instead, we all threw our energy into figuring out the house situation -- to get them into a smaller, single-level place, preferably one for seniors that would allow my mother some freedom for the first time in years, where she could feel safe leaving him for longer than it takes to make a furtive trip to Target Pharmacy for prescription refills. So the need for her own visit to her own doctor wouldn't lead to a tearful, panicked phone call because there's no one to watch your dad that day.
This lead to cleaning and purging and sorting and donating. Then came the discovery of expensive house repairs, at just how overwhelmed they've been in their small townhouse for all this time. Then we found out about a home equity line of credit and more debt than we were expecting. They'll only get how much for the house? The top-choice communities want how much upfront?
The next-door neighbor had a psychotic break and did WHAT out in her front yard? OMG, that would almost be funny if the whole situation weren't so terribly, horribly sad.
The house is going on the market on Monday. The follow-up visit for the platelet count issue was yesterday.
The doctor took one look at the bloodwork and ordered a biopsy performed on the spot. The results were definitive. It's leukemia.
The lab is now looking at the biopsy and we'll know the extent of the cancer by the end of the week, but his doctor was kind yet blunt: We are probably looking at something acute. The diagnosis alone means he is already officially too sick for the senior community they planned to move to. He is already saying he does not want to go through chemotherapy.
My mom related the information over the phone last night and I sat down on the floor. I felt like I was floating. I couldn't really cry. I remembered the time she told me about his throat cancer in a Taco Bell parking lot. The time I sat on the floor in my dorm hallway five years later and she told me it had come back. The time my brother-in-law called in the middle of the night to tell me about the aneurysm.
At some point, the calls drift together and aren't quite as distinct, even though they kept coming. A mysterious fall. A heart problem. We're at the hospital. At the ER. Headed to the doctor now. Diabetes. Skin cancer. Heart surgery. Pneumonia. Collapsed lungs and more pneumonia. Congestive heart failure. His eyes, his ears, his lungs, his heart, again. It was always something, he was always aging, always sick. Perhaps I'd started to just expect it, and the phone calls.
But I wasn't expecting this one. I just wasn't expecting it to be this.
