Bruce Dowbiggin is unusually suspect
It's the first thing that ran through our head as we read Bruce Dowbiggin's column this morning in the Globe and Mail. Because when something kinda marvelous happens, apparently, the best way to react to it is to slap heaping globs of your grumpy old man goo all over it, lest someone enjoy the moment.
Dowbiggin's kinda pissed us off in recent months because of just how ill-suited he seems to be for the media critic role at the Globe. Stepping into the space that William Houston made a consistent must-read, he's done precious little reportage, while generally falling back on a grumpy old white dude routine, asserting that things were all so much better before when stuff was simpler, and we had two channels and a radio station and papers came out in the morning, and we were all happy to just sit and wait for our news and listen to very few authoritative voices. It was all so much better then.
Sorry, we just got a little weepy for a second. Or those tears might be as a result of our gag reflex.
Okay, let's not delay this any further, you guarana-addled, short-attention-span Twitter-gossip-porn-addicts. Walk with us, won't you, as we examine the turd-tacular brilliance that is Dowbiggin.
Halladay's gem just what baseball ordered
Not "what the Doctor ordered"? Such restraint from the headline writer. How dignified.
Roy Halladay's historic no-hitter was just the Doctor that baseball ordered.
Certainly the sport needed the jumper cables of Halladay's gem...
Gems and jumper cables. We never tire of Dowbiggin's ability to mix metaphors.
...after another season of declining youth interest.
Ohh! Declining youth interest! Surely, there must be a number that Bruce will quote forthwith to validate such a statement.
TV ratings are stagnant, baseball's stars don't transcend the TMZ culture, and the taint of performance-enhancing drugs has left its image tarnished. Fairly or not, baseball has become yesterday's game.
Okay, seriously. What the fuck is this "TMZ culture" that you speak of? TMZ, or Perez or Deadspin or whatever are just websites that some people occasionally breeze past. It's not an all-encompassing way of life or a worldview.
And moreover: How many sports stars actually "transcend" into that strata of household names? As much as we love sports in general and baseball in particular, these interests have always been niche pursuits. Everybody and your auntie knows and loves George Clooney. Not everybody knows or cares who Albert Pujols. Much like I could not care less about Kyle Somebody who's a NASCAR superstar.
Oh, and we're still waiting for some numbers to back this shit up.
Halladay's gem in a Philadelphia uniform is, in many ways, a metaphor for the demise of Canadian baseball, which peaked with Toronto's World Series wins in 1992 and 1993.
A metaphor!!?? Perhaps a mixed metaphor? Or just a bad metaphor?
And really: Can we give it a rest about how popular baseball was in 1993? Given the change in the sporting landscape in Toronto and across the country, it's hard to conceive of a return to that level of popularity. So why bemoan it? That was an extraordinary moment, but you wouldn't say that hockey's popularity dropped off significantly last year after the Olympics because 10 million watched the gold medal game, but only 1.5 million tuned in every week to the 7 pm Hockey Night in Canada broadcast, right?
In this nation, baseball has been reduced to a rump of one MLB club and a scattering of homegrown stars such as Joey Votto and Justin Morneau. Its postseason is largely relegated to cable TV.
What in the fuck does this even mean? A rump? TV numbers were up and have been up for the Blue Jays and baseball over the past few years. And cable TV is not a place to which sports are relegated...IT'S WHERE SPORTS LIVES. Baseball is no more "relegated" to cable than Monday Night Football has been relegated.
It's a big comedown for a sport that defined the United States and Canada of the 1970s to '90s. Baseball was a trendsetter that grabbed a generation of fans, popularizing fantasy sports via rotisserie baseball. Revolutionary thinkers such as Bill James were precursors to the blogosphere of today. The advent of free agency in baseball freed the stars of all sports to pursue bigger markets. And filmmakers like Ken Burns and Ron Shelton mythologized the sport through films like Bull Durham, and TV documentaries like Burns's Baseball and music.
Okay, so we see what you've done here: You've exhausted every bit of baseball's history and its pop culture presence over the past 40 years into one heaping, steaming paragraph, perhaps so that we'll see that all was good and happy before, just as you pull the rug out from under us. Give it your best shot!
To a generation of baby boomers, baseball was hipper than thou.
This is possibly the stupidest sentence ever to appear in the Globe and Mail. And they once accepted content from Rebecca Eckler.
First, Brucey, you're misusing the term "hipper than thou". It's a pejorative, and that's clearly not how you're using it here. And secondly, stop reducing shit to the motherfucking baby boomers versus other generations. That is the most tired line of thought perpetrated by LAZY, ARROGANT, SELF-ABSORBED boomers who can't conceive of a world that they don't define and own.
Go to a fucking ballgame, and look at the make up of the crowd, because you'll find that those of my g-g-g-g-generation outnumber the older crowd significantly. And there are kids, and snot nosed teenagers, and 20-something texters, and all sorts of folks. Look beyond the press box, and beyond your own shoes.
But as the postseason started in 2010, MLB seems a shopworn commodity. While its website is respected, MLB's media profile lags behind the NFL, NCAA and NBA in stickiness with the celebrity generation.
Again, this argument is in no way backed up with any numbers. And "media profile" seems to be a clever way for Dowbiggin to hide behind vague terms in order to build his straw man argument.
Televised baseball has produced no media stars since Bob Costas and Pete Gammons.
This all depends on how you define "star", because frankly, we put a whole host of names into that realm. Jon Miller, Joe Morgan, Buster Onley, Ken Rosenthal, Matt Vasgergian, Joe Buck...Whether if you care for what they are selling or not, they are recognized faces of the sport amongst the cognoscenti. Plus, Gammons was never a household name beyond sports fans, and Costas made his name by being ubiquitous, not necessarily just as a baseball guy.
And moreover, the game has evolved significantly over the past 20 years, to where the LOCAL tv guys are the stars within their own market. Baseball is a niche, just as every sport is a niche, and within it are 30 other niches, each with their own star system.
Even Burns is kicking the body, blistering the sport over its steroid scandal in a new documentary.
Blah blah blah steroids blah blah blah.
Baseball's failure to connect is often attributed to the steroid culture that soiled its reputation. In reality, the malaise can better be traced to other causes. Principally, baseball has lost the African-American community. Only 9 per cent of MLB players now are black. Even more crucially, baseball has been passed over by the NBA, NFL and NCAA in the African-American community, a crucial driver of the larger American youth culture. LeBron James's move to the NBA's Miami Heat epitomized that void, dominating headlines in the heart of the MLB season.
Baseball is 9 per cent black, in a nation that 13.5 per cent black. There's undoubtedly a discrepancy there, but is the marginal lack of interest amongst one population group is not exactly what we'd be hanging our argument on. (Though we suspect he's done so because it seems like a bit of an unassailable one...Won't someone think of Jackie Robinson's legacy?!)
But what has always bugged us about that discussion around the number of black players is the fact that the true multicultural evolution of the league isn't accurately captured. The Latin and Asian influence are nowhere to be found here.
As well, baseball's video games are not as sticky with younger generations as those of other pro leagues, which introduce sports to the video/Internet generation.
Again, with the sticky. But we're not seeing anything to back this up. Is this because his kids prefer Madden?
Here's the real crux of the problem with MLB video games: They pulled them out of EA Sports, and now no longer have a decent single game that covers all platforms in the same manner that EA's Madden or NHL games do. So you have people split between two franchises (The Show and 2K), which doesn't allow for that transcendence that Dowboy seems so fond off.
There's more in the generation gap. The length of baseball games – often pushing four hours – turns off kids who crave the NBA's accelerated experience. Late TV starts on the Eastern seaboard mean postmidnight finishes. Soccer has replaced baseball as parents' preferred sport for their kids in many communities. And the relentless Yankees/Red Sox obsession gets a bit old. Which is the best way to describe MLB's following. Without new stars to transcend the culture, baseball is seen as your father's game, a sport of yesterday.
Speaking of long, you've probably checked out on this post by now. If you haven't, or if you've returned after a solid five minutes over at Bangbros, then welcome back. Tissue?
This last paragraph is once again a lot of anecdotes that are not connected, but are forcefully mashed together into one heap. All of it amounts to a bunch of vague, unsubstantiated observations used as a club to hammer away at a point where there is no other solid argument available.
Which, to be frank, is what we'd expect from one of those dirty blogging tweeter TMZ types in their basements.
20 comments:
"Late TV starts on the Eastern seaboard mean postmidnight finishes."
So, if I'm reading this right, the steroid era in baseball coincided with the advent of time zones. Like Bruce, I too long for the good old days when, if a game started at 7:07 PM in Toronto, goddamn it, it started at 7:07 in Vancouver, and vice versa.

What schlock. "My kids don't watch baseball, therefore NO KIDS WATCH BASEBALL."
- October 8, 2010 at 12:40 PM
Dwbgn just missed the point. Baseball's "decline" is not so much it's own making, but the natural consequence of the evolution of the internet.
You could write the same piece highlighting the decline of popular music. (how come no one's as big as the Beatles anymore?)
The truth is that since the 90's, people's interests have diversified and become spread across regions further from the limelight of big media.
In a way he's right. It used to be that everyone -everyone, not big fans - could name star baseball players. He's just a bit short sighted in diagnosing the issue a problem with baseball ( imagining it's something to do with steroids or such) rather than a reflection on the affect of the internet on mainstream culture.

AMAZING rebuttal.
I couldn't agree more that the Blue Jays are as popular as ever with "the youth" of today.
I'm 27, my brothers are 25 and 21, and between us and our groups of friends, we attend more paseball games than any other sport.
We're the "missed generation" for the CFL, so none of us have interest in that anachronism. There is no NFL team in the local market, and the "hockey team" has been turning off the youth with their lack of success and overpricing for at least 2 decades.
Baseball IS relevant again. Admittedly, I buy an updated copy of "the show" each year (And until my gamecube died, I still played MVP 05)
Due to the fact that we all live an hour from Toronto, we(Me, My friends, my brothers and their friends) don't attend as many games live as we could otherwise (Parking is a BITCH, and don't get me started on the poor state of transit in this city) But, I can say based on a small sample that we watch 80% plus of the games on TV. MLB is not irrelevant, especially not in this market.
Also: Re 9% of African-Americans in baseball vs 13.5 % population: I wonder how the prominence of Latin and Asian players skew the data. I think it would be a relevant skew.
- October 8, 2010 at 1:30 PM
I agree with almost all of your post Tao, but I do have to agree with Dowbiggin's comment about kids' soccer vs. baseball.
I live in a small Ontario town that has no baseball teams and a thriving soccer association, whereas 20 years ago (when I was 10) it was the exact opposite.
Except then, my baseball team was full of flower pickers and kids who could give two shits about baseball, but their parents wanted to get them some exercise during the summer months.
Unfortunately, if you don't care about baseball, or simply suck, it's nearly impossible to burn off energy, so over the years people have moved their kids to soccer where, even if they don't care or suck, they still get to run around for a while.
And they get Freezies at half-time.
I have a three-year-old daughter and I tear up/vomit in my mouth at the thought of enrolling her in soccer next summer, while my slo-pitch league is the only cleats that see my town's diamond. My kid has a wicked arm (yes, and she's a girl!) and she's going to be chasing a fucking soccer ball.

The gem about Votto and Morneau is another beaut - I pine for the good ol' days when there were more Canadians (and with bigger profiles) in MLB. That time was ... ?
(actually, it was 1884 if you're keeping score - not the 1970s, '80s and '90s)
In fact, what he's inaccurately getting at is that baseball as a sport is very much alive and well in Canada, and the programs around the country are churning out more talent than they used to (though perhaps not in JimBobEarl's town). And that's while competing with expansion in Latin America and Asia.
I hate to sit here and say - hey, since I love baseball and since you're railing against it, I'm going to rail against you. But this isn't some emotional argument. This is about simple facts. Geezus - how can someone pile so much ignorance and baseless assertions into one article and still sleep at night?

Will Leitch's book, "Are We Winning," has some pretty interesting information that he's researched on exactly how many sets of eyes are watching baseball these days, either on TV or the web. And it's way, way more than ever in the history of the world. Like, exponentially more, thanks largely to the success of MLB Advanced Media, which is also contributing to the fact that baseball is on the verge of surpassing the NFL in yearly total revenue (because they rent out the MLB.tv servers to other companies since they have so much capacity).
These might be the sort of facts you'd expect a media critic to perhaps try to learn.
- October 8, 2010 at 3:24 PM
- SP said...
I do agree with one of his points. MLB is way, way behind in its "media profile" (I assume he means multimedia). Every other sport has it's history cataloged by fan on Youtube. You won't find any baseball highlight reels, games clips, great moments, or the like on Youtube or anywhere else. They want full control of their content because...I don't know. It's free advertising god damn it. Earlier this year, the NBA said it streamed one BILLION videos on NBA.com. This despite a huge number of fan uploaded video all over the web. They're doing just fine, why can't MLB?

But steroids did destroy baseball. Just like it destroyed the NFL. I hear they're going to fold soon...
- October 8, 2010 at 4:48 PM
The point Leitch made in the book is that if you're watching video online of the NBA (or another sport), MLB is likely making money off it anyway since they rent out so much of their server space to others, even in other sports leagues.

Although the rest of his column is complete and utter shit, I do agree with his take on MLB video games a bit. Even when they were good, when you had games like Bases Loaded, you still had the issue that a season is 162 games, and unlike Tecmo Super Bowl, it's not like you're going to play artificially shortened games.
This is part of the reason why Madden is the king of sports video games - Just 16 games a season. I also think this is why the college games are often as popular as their pro counterparts, despite having no names in them.

In Dowbiggin's defence he's right about baseball popularity (if you go by tv ratings). The Game 1 ratings were horrendous, even for Doc's no-no and the Yankees.

Great post on its own, AMAZING post by including a Gandharvas reference.
- October 9, 2010 at 1:54 PM
Why does MLB even let the Twins compete in the post season anymore? From now on, if MN wins the AL Central or the WC, they should automatically forfeit their playoff spot to whoever finished 2nd or 3rd in the AL East.
Oh wait, it's probably part of that league wide Yankee bias. MLB wants the Yankees to have the easiest path to the World Series, so they give them the Twins in the first round, right?

Hunters of all specs, and particularly Beastmaster, are doing too much damage in PvE.
We tested this a lot internally in beta and knew hunters were high but we hoped other classes would be able to catch up in a way they have as yet been unable to do. We want to be careful not to hurt hunter dps too much in PvP, so we're taking most of the damage out of Steady Shot and Volley. Beastmaster hunters are in addition losing some of their pet dps. We still want BMs to have the best pets, but pet dps numbers are a little high at the moment. We are also still concerned about hunter survivability in PvP and taking the opportunity to jazz up Deterrence into something that looks and plays a little more interesting.
These are not all of the changes we are working on for hunters, but those changes we feel are ready for testing. We hope to get these changes up on the PTR so players will have a chance to test them out and respond before they go live.
Steady Shot – now only gains 10% of attack power as damage (down from 20%).
Volley – reduced the damage by about 30% for all ranks. Note that AE damage from many classes is very high right now and we are looking at all of them. Volley in particular had reached the point where some hunters were using it to the exclusion of most other attacks.
Readiness – no longer affects the cooldown of Bestial Wrath.
Deterrence – has been completely overhauled. It now allows you to deflect 100% of incoming melee or spell damage for 5 seconds, but prevents you from attacking while active. You still must be facing the attacker to deflect the damage (this is a limitation we are trying and might end up removing). 60 sec cooldown.
Kill Shot – cooldown reduced to 15 sec (from 35 sec).
Kindrid Spirits – now only grants 3/6/9/12/15% pet damage.
Serpent's Swiftness – now only grants 2/4/6/8/10% bonus attack speed to pet.
All hunter pet abilities with a cooldown longer than 30 sec have been moved off the global cooldown.
Growl-threat generation increased by 20% (same for Voidwalker Torment).
Call of the Wild – now benefits only the hunter and his or her pet.
Rake and Scorpid Poison – slightly nerfed to bring them into line with other pet abilities.
Spirit Strike – reduced the period on the dot so it will work better with Longevity.
Improved Tracking – now benefits damage to all included creature types as long as you are tracking one of them. You don't have to swap around what you are tracking as much.
Aspect of the Wild – now raid-wide.
EDIT: The "only" on Serpent's Swiftness meant 10% pet attack speed instead of 20%. The hunter bonus is unchanged.
I did say these are not all the hunter changes we're working on. Some we haven't quite worked out yet and others (one exciting one in particular concerning ammo) won't be ready until Ulduar or so.
We think MM was too high and BM was way too high. Survival is probably a little low. We are looking at buffing Survival, possibly through Explosive Shot, but we haven't finalized that yet.
The Deterrence change is defintely something we'll need to see in action on the PTR.
I don't want to do a disservice to all the good PvP feedback by attempting to boil it down too much. However, in general a lot of hunters were concerned about being able to do damage as much as they were concerned about being able to survive damage. We don't expect the Deterrence change to solve the former problem obviously. We're still working on that one, but we wanted to go ahead and announce what changes we have now so that you guys can be chewing on them.
Nerfing classes is never fun. It means that our initial tests and estimates didn't play out in the real world, which is a failing on our part, not anything the players did wrong. While buffing is a lot more fun, we think we'd get to crazy land too quickly by trying to make current BM dps the new benchmark. That would mean touching virtually every other class and spec as well as many encounters. While it might produce more positive PR in the short-term, it's a ton more work in the long-term that we would rather spend on new content or other problem areas.
Also, the sky is not falling. We're posting here so we can get feedback. Threats of rerolling or that sort of melodrama aren't really giving us any information we need. I can understand while you might want to vent a little bit, but posts with nothing but QQ aren't helpful.

PHOENIX — President Obama and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) appeared to exchange heated words in front of reporters and other public officials on Wednesday as Obama arrived in this Southwestern city for the second stop of his post-State of the Union tour.
The unusual confrontation--which included Brewer pointing her finger at Obama, and Obama walking away--centered on Brewer's newly published account of a meeting she and Obama had at the White House in June, 2010, officials said.
Obama descended the stairs of Air Force One and was greeted by Brewer, who was waiting for him along with other politicians in a traditional receiving line. Brewer offered Obama a letter, which she later said was an invitation to sit down with her to discuss Arizona's economic "comeback" and to join her for a tour of the U.S.-Mexican border.
The president told Brewer he would be happy to meet with her, a White House aide said, but also informed the governor that he thought she had been inaccurate in describing their earlier session in the Oval Office.
Brewer's book, "Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure the Border,'' details her conservative approach to dealing with the state's illegal immigration challenges. A review published in the Arizona Republic said that Brewer casts Obama as "condescending" and skewers him repeatedly. Although she originally described their Oval Office meeting as cordial, the newspaper said, "in the book she calls the president 'patronizing' and said 'he lectured me.' "
"He didn't feel that I had treated him cordially" in the book, Brewer told reporters Wednesday. "I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt."
In an excerpt available on Amazon, Brewer defends Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 immigration law that she signed into law in 2010, but whose toughest provisions were overturned by a federal judge.
Brewer writes that Obama "has repeatedly made fun of those of us who want to see the law enforced, saying we want a 'moat' with 'alligators' in it around our country. The reason he has resorted to these failed attempts at humor, I think, is that he supports a policy that is fundamentally undemocratic, and he knows it."
She and Obama appeared to be talking over each other on the tarmac, as other Arizona officials looked on. The exchange ended when Obama abruptly walked away, as Brewer appeared to still be speaking.
Asked about the conversation, Brewer told the reporters that Obama was "a little disturbed" about her account of their meeting. A White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation, said Obama told Brewer she "inaccurately described the meeting in her book."
Brewer said she told Obama that she was sorry he felt slighted "but I didn't get my sentence finished."
Just a day earlier, at the State of the Union Address, Obama had a much warmer exchange with an Arizona politician from his own party, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
But with Brewer, one of the nation's most outspoken critics of federal immigration policy, what was supposed to be a standard photo-op quickly morphed into a confrontation.
"I thought we probably would've talked about the things that were important to him and important to me, helping one another," Brewer said later. "Our country is upside down. Arizona was upside down. But we have turned it around. I know again that he loves this country and I love this country."
After ending the exchange with Brewer, Obama moved on in the receiving line, where he was greeted without incident by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and Mesa Mayor Scott Smith. He then headed for an Intel factory that manufactures microprocessors.
"Anyway, we're glad he's here," a shaken Brewer said. "I'll regroup."

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - An RV fire shut down southbound lanes of Interstate 95 in Brevard County on Monday afternoon for hours.
The fire occurred near exit 173 on I-95 southbound at around 3 p.m.
Brevard County Fire Rescue said the large camper was towing a Jeep Cherokee and that two occupants and a dog got out of the fire safely.
"Everything looked fine. I looked behind me then I saw a ball of fire out by the motor where the radiator is and I got off the road as quickly as I could," said motorhome owner Tom Librandi.
Librandi said he was in the midst of a family vacation with his wife and dog from Pennsylvania to Miami when their 40-foot motorhome ignited.
"I got off the road right away, I told my wife grab the dog and get out," Librandi said. "I grabbed my fire extinguisher and it's funny I just saying yesterday 'where's my fire extinguisher?' Bad omen I guess."
Librandi said he was going 73 mph when the RV ignited.
"We got a bunch of ashes, we lost everything, but we still have our lives and our friends and all of the good people that helped us here," said Librandi.
Traffic was being diverted to U.S. 192 as authorities investigated. Southbound lanes were reopened at around 4:30 p.m.

This wine is a great gift idea for the oenophiliac artist--or just for yourself!
I am the Wine Idiot. The only thing I know about wine is whether I like it or not. I review wine you can purchase at Trader Joe's (mostly). I thought about taking a basic wine-tasting class before I started this, but then I thought, hell, most people haven't had a wine class. So why not just tell you how I like these wines before someone tells me how I'm supposed to like these wines? Salud, and let's do this!

I was just reviewing some code I wrote a while back, and can see that I have a couple of private methods that throw argumentnullexceptions and/or argumentexceptions if there are issues with the methods parameters.
I guess my rationale is that helps future proof the application if someone attempts to "misuse" the method in future. However, given it is a private method and the people who are likely to call this method can see the associated comments and code, it is just unnecessary to throw this. It certainly doesn't hurt to have them, although it does add clutter.
My feeling is that these exceptions are generally more useful on something like a API that is going to be exposed publically.

Important Legal Documents Every Same-Sex Couple Needs
Especially when a gay or lesbian couple is ready to move in together, make a major purchase or have a child, some essential supporting documents are necessary to establish a legal relationship where none would otherwise exist. These documents include the following:
Living-together agreement (LTA): Also referred to as a partnership agreement, this document is a bit like a prenuptial agreement in that it sets forth the terms of your arrangement living together. It's a contract that lets you put into writing how the two of you will share expenses, property, and household chores. It also lets you say how you'll divvy up your property in the event of a breakup.
Co-parenting agreement: This document is a contract between the parents — even when only one of them is a legal parent — that sets forth the terms of how they will parent the child while they live together as a family and how they will continue to do so after they break up.
Nomination of guardian: This document lets you appoint your partner or someone else to raise your child in case you become incapacitated or die before the child reaches the age of 18. Co-parents should also nominate a guardian for their child in case something happens to both of them while their child is still a minor.
Authorization to consent to the medical treatment of a minor child: This document lets you appoint your partner to make emergency and non-emergency decisions about your child's medical treatment. This document can also include authorization to interact with your child's teachers and other school officials, travel with your child, and so on.
Hospital visitation form: This form notifies medical staff and others that it's your wish that your partner and children (or whomever else you prefer) to have priority over all others to be at your hospital bedside.
Disposition of remains form: This form lets you appoint your partner to make your funeral or cremation arrangements and to take possession of your ashes afterward.
You can obtain these documents from an experienced attorney or through Rainbow Law.

Gilberto Valle Update: NYC police officer in cannibal case suggested putting wife on menu, prosecutors say
(AP) NEW YORK - Prosecutors say Gilberto Valle, a New York City police officer charged with seeking to kill and eat women, hinted in an online chat that his wife might have been on the menu.
Pictures: NYC cop accused of plot to kidnap and cook women
Federal prosecutors said Monday that Valle engaged in a grisly Internet chat with a man who said he was in India. They said Valle told the other man that his "girlfriend" and his wife were both 25-years-old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 140 pounds.
According to prosecutors, the other man asked if the wife was vegetarian and Valle said yes. Prosecutors said the man told Valle her meat would be lower quality.
The 28-year-old Valle is charged with planning to kidnap, rape, kill and eat women. Lawyers say he was merely fantasizing and intended no violence.

Here some tips on how to heal each encounter in Heart of Fear, including the best time to use cooldowns and which talents, glyphs and symbiosis targets are optimal for each fight
First, a few general tips:
- Feline Swiftness is the level 15 talent that I recommend for any fight.
- Nature's Swiftness is the level 30 talent I recommend for any fight. Remember the cooldown is only 1 minute. It makes your next heal instant, 50% bigger and mana-free, so use it often.
- Unless I state otherwise for a particular fight, the major glyphs I recommend are Wild Growth, Lifebloom and Regrowth.
- In 5.1 we're going back to providing useful cooldowns when we use Symbiosis on tanks. So, for the good of the raid, using Symb on a tank is probably the best choice (a Paladin or Warrior would be my last choice since, really, who wants Cleanse or Intimidating Roar on a boss fight?) If you use this on a DK or a Monk, be sure to use IBF or Fortifying Brew during the encounter.
- Carry lots of Tome of the Clear Mind. Which talents are strongest can change from fight to fight. It you want to maximize your healing potential, you will be changing talents often.
Imperial Vizier Zor'lok
This fight has three distinct phases, each with very different damage patterns and a final phase which combines all the abilities of the previous ones. It's a single tank fight, so there's only one person to keep Lifebloom rolling on.
The first three phases take place on different platforms around the room and can happen in any order. On one platform you will have to deal with Attenuation – this causes Sonic Rings to spiral outward from the boss, doing significant damage to anyone they touch. How healing intensive this phase is depends on how good your raid is at avoiding them. Some quick heals, like Regrowth or NS/HT, can save people who get clipped a couple times. Otherwise, I just toss out instants as I'm running around to heal any damage that happens.
On another platform you have to deal with Force and Verve. This is the most healing intensive part of the fight. The boss will spawn 3 noise cancelling zones which your raid must split up and get in and then do massive raid-wide damage for 10 seconds. This is where most healer cooldowns should be used. As the zones are spawning I will put up a RJ/SM on someone who is in the zone to get Efflorescence down. I use Tranquility on one Force and Verve and use an output cooldown along with Wild Growth and many Rejuvs and Regrowths on the next.
On the last platform you ave to deal with Mind Controls (Convert) on people in your raid. If they aren't CC'd and broken out quickly, they can reack some havoc as they also get a damage buff. Be ready with Ironbark and some quick heals on those people being attacked. You'll also want to dispel and particularly nasty lingering effects.
On the last phase you'll see all these abilities again.
Level 60 – Incarnation
Being able to cast instant Regrowths while running in circles during Attenuation can save the lives of those hit by rings.
Level 75 – Mighty Bash
This will help to cc those who have been converted.
Level 90 – Nature's Vigil
Since there are distinct, damage-heavy parts of the fight, having a poppable output cooldown is good.
I generally get a DK or Monk so I can use an extra damage mitigation ability during Force and Verve.
Incarnation – Use this during Attenuation so you can cast instant Regrowths while dodging rings.
Tranquility – Use this during every 2nd Force and Verve to handle the immense damage.
Nature's Vigil – Use this during alternating Force and Verves when Tranq is not up.
Stampeding Roar – When the raid is moving to a new platform this will help to get everyone everyone there quicker.
Ironbark – Tank damage on this fight isn't a big deal, but I will generally use this on the tank during an Exhale.
Blade Lord Ta'yak
This is a two phase fight. The first phase is more about tank healing and positional requirements, while the second phase is very raid healing intensive.
During phase one the majority of the time I'm healing the active tank. In addition I use Rejuv on anyone who gets hit by Wind Step. When a Tempest Slash is about to happen I use Rejuv and SM on a melee (where we stack up), then Wild Growth right as it hits. We also cycle healer cooldowns for each Slash.
In phase 2 the whole raid is taking constant damage. First you need to get through the tornado gauntlet, so you need to make extensive use of your instant spells. Once you reach a platform you can finally relax for a bit and just focus on doing as much healing as possible. I suggest keeping LB rolling on yourself so you don't have to worry too much about your own health (the tanks don't get hit by the boss in this phase).
Pro tip: When the boss hits 10% health in phase 2 he will fly to the other platform and you'll have to run through tornadoes again. If you jump into the wind stream when he's around 11% it will take you towards the other platform at super speed until DoTs take him down that last percent and the wind switches directions. Your raid can save a lot of running time by doing this.
Level 60 – Incarnation
The utility of tree form and having extra instants during phase 2 is very good for this fight.
Level 90 – Heart of the Wild
This fight has no real heavy damage portions (except for phase 2 which lasts much longer than 30 seconds) so the flat Intellect increase is the best bet. You will also have time to use the cooldown and do some damage at the start of the fight as there is very little damage going out.
Use it on a Shaman. Spiritwalker's Grace plus Tranquility as you are dodging tornadoes in phase 2 is amazing.
Tranquility – You should be able to get two uses of this. In phase 1 I use it after a Wind Slash. In phase 2, use Spiritwalkers Grace + Tranquility as you're running the tornado gauntlet.
Incarnation – In phase 1 I try to pop this when a few people get hit with Wind Step so I can roll LBs on them, in addition to the tank. In phase 2 I use it while running through tornadoes (on the one that Tranq is not used for). Cast Wild Growth on cooldown, many Lifebloom and Regrowth anyone getting dangerously low.
Ironbark – Tank damage can get very high due to Overwhelming Assault. Our tanks usually call out when they need an external cooldown to handle one of these.
Stampeding Roar – This is very helpful for phase 2 to help people reach the platforms a little bit faster.
Garalon is a single phase fight that is quite healing intensive. Unlike most fights, the tanks aren't really tanking the boss. They just need to stand in front of him and get hit with Furious Swipe every so often. As a result, the tanks don't take anymore damage than the rest of the raid – damage is fairly evenly distributed between everyone.
On this fight I generally heal the kiters. This means keeping LB and Rejuv rolling on them, along with fairly frequent Regrowth use as the stacks get higher. In addition to this, I try to keep Rejuvs on the tanks and use Wild Growth on cooldown (targeting Garalon for the cast so it can reach almost anyone). I also try to keep Efflo down in the ranged stack, though sometimes I feel Swiftmend is needed on a kiter or a tank.
I assigne healing or mitigation cooldowns to be used after every Crush.
Level 60 – Incarnation
The damage during this fight is non-stop, so I find it very mana taxing. Being able to spam cheap Lifeblooms is helpful (as is Wild Growth hitting extra targets).
Level 90 – Heart of the Wild or Nature's Vigil
I've used both HotW and NV on this fight and don't notice a lot of difference between them. If you're healing the kiters or kiting yourself it can get hectic, so you may want one less CD to worry about and just go with HotW.
I generally use Symbiosis on a Monk or DK for the extra damage mitigation. You want to mitigate damage from as many Crushes as possible.
Incarnation – Use it early and often. Take advantage of the cheap Lifeblooms.
Tranquility – I use this immediately after a Crush happens.
Ironbark – I use this on the kiters, focusing on the classes that don't have much damage mitigation of their own.
Happy healing!

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Senior superback Joe Benedetti ran for 216 yards and four touchdowns and senior quarterback Dan Griffin rushed for 102 yards and two scores as the No. 7 Salisbury University football team pulled away from Christopher Newport University, 40-16, at POMOCO Stadium Saturday.
CNU tied the game, 13-13, early in the third quarter when Rudy Rudolph caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Edwards. The Captains could have taken a one-point lead but Mason Studer's extra point was blocked and Salisbury (1-0) found the end zone on its next three drives to put the game out of reach.
Griffin gave the Gulls the lead again with a 2-yard dive with 7:03 left in the third. After Christopher Newport (0-1) moved the ball for three consecutive first downs, the SU defense stiffened to allow a 34-yard field goal by Studer to make it a 20-16 game with 4:35 to play in the quarter.
Griffin found the end zone again on a 47-yard scamper up the middle to extend the SU advantage to 27-16 with 3:23 left. On CNU's ensuing possession, linebacker Kevin Costello jarred the ball loose from running back Markeese Stovall and Andre Carter recovered it. The Sea Gulls waited no time adding to the lead as six plays later, Benedetti had a 13-yard touchdown to push it to a 33-16 game, five seconds into the fourth quarter.
Benedetti tacked on a 48-yard score with just over two minutes remaining for the final margin.
SU accumulated 505 yards of offense, including 455 on the ground, while running for 8.3 per play. Senior slots Ross Flanigan and Christopher Wilkerson chipped in with 56 and 33 yards rushing, respectively.
Salisbury got on the scoreboard first after Benedetti ran for a 35-yard touchdown. Studer's punt from the Christopher Newport end zone went off the side of his foot and out of bounds at the Captains' 35, setting up Benedetti's first score of the night and a 6-0 SU lead with 1:39 left in the first quarter.
On the Sea Gulls' next possession, Benedetti capped a seven-play, 54-yard drive with a 2-yard plunge to extend the advantage to 13-0 with 11:30 left in the half. Griffin and Benedetti combined to rush for 40 yards in two consecutive plays on the drive prior to Benedetti's second touchdown of the night.
CNU's Edwards and Rudolph hooked up on a 6-yard touchdown pass to get on the board to finish a 13-play, 78-yard march with 4:32 left, getting within one score at 13-7.
Edwards completed 26-of-43 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns while Rudolph had seven catches for 126 yards and the two scores.
Senior safety Chris Everett made nine tackles and broke up one pass to pace the Salisbury defense, while Justin Navarro had 13 tackles, three for loss, and two sacks to lead Christopher Newport.
Salisbury opens its home slate, hosting No. 3 Wesley College at Sea Gull Stadium next Saturday at 6 p.m.

Detroit Lions Ndamukong Suh upsets Indianapolis Colts with lack of respect
Can Ndamukong Suh get through just one game without ticking off the opponent? Doesn't look like it.
The Detroit Lions defensive tackle had a good game statistically in the 35-33 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. He sacked Andrew Luck on the Colts' first snap and finished with six tackles and six quarterback hits.
But the Colts weren't happy when Suh laughed and celebrated with teammates after he knocked down Colts right tackle Winston Justice in the fourth quarter after Don Carey's second interception. Justice was forced to leave the game with a concussion.
Here's what Colts right guard Mike McGlynn told Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star:
"Totally ignorant on their part. Just childish stuff. We're all battling out there. I don't know if the hit was legal or not, but clearly he was hurt and they're out there dancing and pointing at him and laughing. Just blatant disrespect. They're good players but there's no room for that. It's disgusting, really.
"If that had happened to one of their players we're never do something like that. But that's what makes this even sweeter. That's why they lose. I hope they never win another game.''
At the time of the play -- there was 6:49 remaining -- the Lions were ahead 33-21.
Obviously this isn't sour grapes because the Colts were able to make a comeback and win.
Suh was on the field and couldn't get to Luck when it really counted -- on the fourth-and-10 when Luck found Donnie Avery for the game-winning touchdown.
There's a reason Suh is the Sporting News' defending two-time NFL dirtiest player of the year. It's voted on by the players.
Sunday wasn't the first time Suh has taunted a player who was down. In the 2011 loss to Atlanta, Suh and Cliff Avril stood over Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and taunted him while he was definitely in pain after having his ankle stepped on by a teammate.
"I had respect for Suh before the game," center Todd McClure told the Atlanta Journal Constitution after the game. "But when Matt was on the ground, the things he was saying and the trash he was talking was definitely uncalled for. There are certain things you don't do. (He said) 'Get the cart' and several other things that I can't repeat."
Fast forward a year. In the Thanksgiving loss to the Houston Texans, Suh kicked Houston quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin and was fined $30,000. Suh claims he had no control and said on a Sunday morning pre-game show that's in the appeals process.
He has a record so will never get the benefit of the doubt. In the Thanksgiving game in 2011 he stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith and was suspended for two games.
Even though the Lions are 4-8 and have obviously struggled all season, the defense regularly celebrates each big play a little too much. Fans notice, opponents notice and so do reporters.
The defense hasn't finished off the last three games. Perhaps they should can the celebrating and show respect for their opponents until they prove they are worthy.

A giant cloud belt in the southern half of Jupiter has apparently disappeared according to new photos of the planet taken by amateur astronomers.
The new Jupiter photos, taken May 9 by Australian astronomer Anthony Wesley, reveal that the huge reddish band of clouds that make up the planet's Southern Equatorial Belt has faded from view.
Jupiter's trademark Great Red Spot, a massive storm that could fit two Earths inside, is typically found along the edges of the planet's Southern Equatorial Belt (SEB). When the southern cloud belt fades from view, the Great Red Spot stands out along with Jupiter's Northern Equatorial Belt of clouds in telescope views.
"It was evident to Jupiter watchers late last year that the planet was going into one of these SEB fading cycles, but then it was lost behind the sun for several months and naturally everyone who follows these things was eager to take images as soon as possible after its re-emergence in March," Wesley told Space.com in an e-mail.
"As it moves away from the sun (from our point of view) it will be possible to capture even better images and perhaps we will be watching later this year or next year when the SEB revival takes place. The timing of this revival is not known, but historically this is a very dynamic event with planet-wide outbreaks of violent storms around the SEB latitude and eventually clearing away the obscuring clouds to reveal the dark SEB once more," he added.
Wesley's photos were also released by The Planetary Society in California, which added that Jupiter's Southern Equatorial Belt tends to fade from view about every three to 15 years.
"Jupiter with only one belt is almost like seeing Saturn when its rings are edge-on and invisible for a time — it just doesn't look right," wrote skywatcher Bob King of Duluth, Minn., in a May 10 entry of his blog "Astro Bob" while discussing Wesleyan's surprising Jupiter views.
Jupiter is currently shining very bright in the eastern sky before sunrise.
Wesley is a veteran Jupiter watcher and posted the new shots on his website. It was he who first spotted a dark blemish on the planet in July 2009 that pointed to an impact on Jupiter, most likely from a comet. Wesley also spotted a giant blizzard on Saturn that is currently raging.
"Jupiter is a joy to observe and image, its dynamic atmosphere and brightly colored clouds mean that every view is different to the last even from one day to the next, and driven by the internal heat from deep inside the atmosphere you can be sure there is always something violent and interesting going on," Wesley said.
Changes in Jupiter's weather are not uncommon.
Last year, astronomers announced that Jupiter's Great Red Spot – which has raged for at least 300 years – appeared to be shrinking. In 2008, other red spot-like storms (smaller than Great Red) showed changes as well, while activity in the Southern Equatorial Belt also appeared to slow down.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and no stranger to weird weather.
Earlier this year, astronomers announced that the gas giant likely has helium rain showers from time to time. Jupiter has also tended to grow a variety of new storms, or spots, with some even changing color between white and red during dramatic climate changes on the gas giant.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have given fans a taste of what became of their "Grease" characters in a new music video.
The duo decided to have some fun with the "I Think You Might Like It" promo, by filming scenes featuring a 1955 Thunderbird – the car that flew off with Sandy Olsen and Danny Zuko at the end of the classic 1978 musical.
And Travolta says, "We're dressed kinda like we were then but different."
The promo also features Travolta's actress wife Kelly Preston and their children and "all the people I've made friends with in the Ocala, Fla., area in the last 10 years." The Travoltas live in Ocala.
The video isn't the pair's only new link with Grease – John Farrar, who composed the tracks for the stars' new holiday album This Christmas, is the man behind the film's classic finale tune "You're the One That I Want."
Proceeds from the album, which features "I Think You Might Like It," will benefit the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Center in her native Australia and the actor's Jett Travolta Foundation, the charity he set up to honor his late son.

An open letter to students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of UNI:
As all of you know, the University of Northern Iowa is a special place -- a place to earn an outstanding education in a beautifully maintained academic setting. Many of you are currently participating in or witnessing heated discussions and disagreements occurring on campus and in the community and are concerned about the future of UNI. Let me first of all assure you that the future of this university looks strong and bright. From my first year on campus the goal has always been to take this great university and make it even greater by focusing on the strengths that set us apart (the finest undergraduate education in the state, the strongest liberal arts core, the premier pre-K through 12 teacher education program). Let me address some of those strengths.
I truly believe that UNI offers the best undergraduate education in the state of Iowa. We have an outstanding group of faculty and staff committed to educating our students. We all remain steadfast in that commitment. I urge you to see the current discussions and disagreements as evidence of the passion that is felt for UNI. Rest assured that the goal will remain the same and that we will come together as an even stronger institution.
In addition, our belief that a strong liberal arts core provides our students with the best possible education remains in the forefront as discussions continue and decisions are made about program changes. While we all would like to see the funding of our state universities return to previous levels, we cannot let the quality of our educational offering slip while we wait and hope for that to happen. We must take advantage of this crisis to look at what we are doing and how we are doing it. Discussions have been occurring across campus for several years about program changes. While no final decisions have been made, let me assure you that we are going to make decisions that will result in UNI and our liberal arts core being stronger and more relevant for the future.
Much concern has also been expressed about the commitment to teacher education. I have spoken the words "UNI must be the leader in pre-K through 12 education in the state of Iowa and among the leaders in the nation" in literally every talk I have given throughout the state over the past six years. That commitment is evidenced by the fact that for the first time ever pre-K through 12 education was added as a goal in UNI's strategic plan; by the fact that the largest gift in the history of UNI was an academic gift directed to the College of Education; and by the fact that the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) initiative leadership is centered at UNI.
To reach that goal requires making changes. Loyalty to the Malcolm Price Laboratory School is understandable; it is convenient, it is comfortable and it is what we have known for years and years. However, not only is the operation of a laboratory school financially unsustainable, but also it is questionable whether the model is the best way to prepare our future teachers. I have been approached by teachers, principals and superintendents from schools large and small within a 30-minute radius of UNI who are excited about the prospect of having our level II education majors in their classrooms. Our students simply must get their experiences in more diverse, "real-world" classroom settings within which they will ultimately teach.
We all know that change is difficult in any organization -- it is unsettling and disruptive. However, our imagination for the future must be greater than our commitment to the past.

Highly sought after author, speaker and trusted advisor to service & support leaders around the world, Phil literally wrote the book on how to earn respect and then demand respect on behalf of your customers.
And I've got 120 seconds to convince the audience that Klever is going to change the world. http://bit.ly/1bawtLm
Unsolicited post from long-time KM guru and industry analyst, John Ragsdale… http://bit.ly/ragsdale_on_klever
For readers of my newsletter, I sent a personal note about why I helped create Klever (www.getklever.com). http://conta.cc/17iXaZrMORE NEWS »
As of mid 2013, I've been full time as the CEO and co-founder of Klever (knowledge lever). Come join us at: www.getklever.com
More than ever, you face decisions about support and services strategy that take you into uncharted territory.
How should you structure global support? How do you motivate a globally distributed support team? Can you migrate customers from free to fee-based support? Is self-service really an option? What about new technologies? Do you have a lot of metrics but very little confidence in your understanding or your team's understanding of what to do with it? How do you earn respect then demand respect on behalf of the customer?
These are tough issues because your best in-house people simply don't have the right information to show all your possible options.
That's why it's probably time to have a chat with The Verghis Group. Phil is a highly respected management consultant who has helped dozens of support and services executives devise winning strategies. He's been a top-level support executive himself, he's written the definitive book on customer-centric management, and he has hands-on experience with implementing new metrics, new systems, new business models, and new market development initiatives.
But most importantly, Phil brings a fresh perspective to problems that seem to have no easy solution. One client calls this knack "Phil's magic." Another says, "You helped us see possibilities that we never knew existed." And another calls him "my most trusted advisor."
If you're venturing into uncharted territory and want a better idea of your options, give Phil a call at +1 (919) 636-9411 (or send him an e-mail at Phil [at] verghisgroup.com). Talk about the problem you'd like to solve, and see if he can help. Then, if you like what you hear, consider bringing Phil in to your offices for a one- or two-day brainstorming session, or perhaps for a larger project or an ongoing advisory relationship.
With Phil as your advisor, you'll be surprised at how many new possibilities open up for you and for your company.

Information for Patients
Health Problems in Pregnancy
Every pregnancy has some risk of problems. You may have problems because of a health condition you had before you got pregnant. You could also develop a condition during pregnancy. Other causes of problems during pregnancy can include being pregnant with more than one baby, a health problem in a previous pregnancy, substance abuse during pregnancy, or being over age 35. Any of these can affect your health, the health of your baby, or both.
If you have a chronic condition, you should talk to your health care provider about how to minimize your risk before you get pregnant. Once you are pregnant, you may need a health care team to monitor your pregnancy. Some common conditions that can complicate a pregnancy include
- High blood pressure
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Kidney problems
- Autoimmune disorders
- Obesity
- Cancer
- Infections
Other conditions that can make pregnancy risky can happen while you are pregnant - for example, gestational diabetes and Rh incompatibility. Good prenatal care can help detect and treat them.
Some discomforts, like nausea, back pain, and fatigue, are common during pregnancy. Sometimes it is hard to know what is normal. Call your health care provider if something is bothering or worrying you.

With control of Congress unchanged, billionaire investor Wilbur Ross expects President Barack Obama to start thinking about his legacy during his second term by reaching across the aisle to build consensus.
"The first term for a president is mostly about politics," the investor told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "I think the second term, logically, should be about the history books."
Ross said that the real question after Tuesday's election will be how Obama begins working to forge greater compromise between his positions and those of the Republican leadership in Congress.
"I'm optimistic that he will be looking toward the history books," Ross said.
Ross added that there's no reason for the president and the Congress not to interact constructively on the nation's most pressing issues, even during the so-called lame duck period.

PHOENIXVILLE - Citing a lack of cooperation from a pair of owners of the Meadow Brook Golf Club, the Phoenixville Area School Board voted Monday to take 'immediate' possession of the property.
Bruce Campbell, half of the CY Group, which owns 50 percent of the golf club, said the district should have all the paperwork it requested and is trying to make him out to be 'the bad guy' in the dispute.
In a 7-0 vote at a special board meeting Monday night, with Irfan Khan and Paul Slaninka absent, the board approved submitting a writ of possession for the Meadow Brook property.
Although a recent Chester County Court decision transferred ownership of the property to the district, Meadow Brook Golf Club is continuing to operate as a golf course.
The writ will be filed Tuesday morning and the owners of Meadow Brook have five days to respond, according to Phoenixville Superintendent Alan Fegley.
Campbell made it clear that he isn't planning on letting any district personnel onto Meadow Brook property for surveys they plan this week.
'They won't have (the writ) by Wednesday or Thursday so they're not coming on the property,' he told the Mercury Monday night.
At the end of last month, Chester County Judge Jacqueline Carroll Cody ruled against objections filed by the CY Group, made up of Campbell and Patricia Young, against the eminent domain acquisition for that the school board voted on last November.
'Because CY Group Inc. has failed to prove that the taking by the (Phoenixville Area School District) is overbroad and excessive, their preliminary objections are overruled,' Cody wrote in her decision.
Phoenixville Area School District hopes to build a combined early-learning center and elementary school on 50-plus acre property along with athletic fields and a maintenance building.
The window is still open for a Meadow Brook appeal, according to the district. Campbell said his lawyer filed post-trial motions and also a legal challenge regarding Sunshine Act violations they believe were committed by the school board.
He said a ruling on the post-trial motions isn't set until September.
Timing was given as the reason the school district's administration recommended approving the 'immediate' taking of the property.
Fegley said the district is moving forward with land planning and, to go to Schuylkill Township with the proper plans, district officials need a survey of the Meadow Brook property done.
In a meeting July 1, Fegley said he and school board President Joshua Gould spoke with Campbell in person and Young on the phone to discuss how things would move forward. A survey was agreed-upon to be conducted last Wednesday, July 16, according to Fegley.
He classified the talks that day as 'cordial.'
When Wednesday rolled around, Fegley said the CY Group declined the survey work. Fegley, Stan Johnson, the district's executive director of operations, and surveyors went over to Meadow Brook and met with Campbell and Young.
'I let them know if we did not have discussions and a signed lease by Monday at 4 p.m., that the recommendation I would give the board was called a writ of possession,' Fegley said. 'A writ of possession is going to court and saying, 'We want to take possession of this property immediately.' With a writ, it would mean immediately closing (the property) and potentially mean the immediate closing of the golf course.'
A date in mid-October was decided upon as the closing date for the golf season during initial discussions July 1 between the district contingent and the CY Group, according to Fegley. The course could operate until then and Meadow Brook's owners could continue to remain on the property until December to make the closing preparations and sell off equipment.
That would require a lease from the district, however.
Fegley said there has been no progress on negotiations for a lease. Campbell said what the district has proposed is 'unacceptable.'
Additionally, the district has concerns over the operation of a business on land it legally owns now. The main concern is that the district may not have full coverage if an injury occurs on the golf course.
Johnson said the district requested that Meadow Brook add it to the current insurance policy.
'It's certainly not an action I wanted to do or recommend to you or take very lightly,' Fegley said of the writ. 'I do have to say, over the next few days, there's been minimal correspondence between them (and us). I sent them questions and they did not get back to me ... they have yet to get me the insurance policy.'
Campbell said his insurance company faxed their policy Wednesday.
Johnson said they received no fax.
In the following days, Fegley sent an email asking even just for the name of the insurance company. He said he received no reply.
'To put it simply, we're the legal owners of the property at this point,' after Cody's decision, Gould said. 'So they're operating a business on that property and we have no agreement with them on their operation of that business.'
Although the writ is scheduled to be filed in court Tuesday morning, there is still the opportunity to negotiate a lease that will keep the golf course in operation this year.
'We can continue working on a lease,' Gould said. 'We'd like to have a lease done today, if they're willing to talk about a lease. We've made that abundantly clear that that's our desire.'
Fegley said an attorney representing the Brown family, who also have stakes in the golf club's ownership, does not object to a lease agreement.
Monday night, Campbell said he's willing to sit down to discuss a lease and even a price for the property, which still has to be determined by a court-appointed 'board of view.' However, he feels the way things stand is unfair, calling the district 'bullies.'
.'They're making me out to be the bad guy,' he said. 'They're basically trying to steal the golf course. You want it? Let's sit down.'
Here's a quick Twitter recap of Monday night's meeting.

Met up with jzaun in the wonderful old city of Marburg. We had a beer or two, and talked a lot about both differences between life in Europe and the US, our common enemy (companies dictating government policies), studies, and of course open source project work. The bzFlag stats system, as being worked on by him, is very advanced already and we should more or less catch up to that level on the www side of life. Having had a look at pictures of current multimedia applications on Windows and OSX in Keys magazine, we found out that none of these actually comply to any HIGs, and the same applies to games of course. Thus, while GNOME and KDE UI designers should care about the average desktop user, it should not be forgotten that the lack of specialized applications comes from the fact that custom UIs and desktops are not yet well-integrated. (I'm talking not about proprietary applications, those should vanish of course - I'm talking about nice interfaces to powerful free software libraries.)
For checking email later in the day, we've been to an Internet Cafe. The two guys who run the business didn't seem to speak English, and were even less skilled to administer PCs. Equipped with Windows ME, they had neither an alternative browser on it nor could handle 1024 bit cipher suites that certain online banks require. Oh my, they made my day in there :)
On my way back, I ended up in Berlin, watching camels being fed, walking nearby several heavily guarded embassies, and going back home in the early afternoon.
