The law schools will trick prospective students with bogus statistics about the great career opportunities available to graduates. Don't believe everything you read. First of all, there are the documented lies, like the admissions brochure for my law school alma mater, Arizona State University College of Law (ASU), which listed the average starting salary for graduates with job offers at graduation from private law firms. But what percentage of the class graduates with a job offer in hand from a private law firm? About 10%? Trumpeting the average salary for 10% of the class is d**mned deceptive. I further suspect that some law schools outright lie on their reported career placement statistics. Think about public companies. They have a strong incentive to lie on their financial statements, so that is why they have to prepare their statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the accounting has to be audited by an independent public accounting firm. Despite these safeguards, companies like Enron are still caught lying on their financial statements.
Every year tens of thousands of wannabe lawyers enter law school. The majority will be extremely disappointed by their career opportunities. Law school is a big lie. People enter law school with the idea that a law degree is their ticket to a comfortable upper middle class lifestyle. In fact, just the opposite, law school for most is a ticket to a worse financial state than if they had not attended at all. This news is hard for people to accept, because "everyone knows" that lawyers make a lot of money. Right? Well look at the salaries for government lawyers in your area. They probably start in the 30s. Why would anyone take a job paying in the 30s if law jobs pay six figures? They wouldn't. After a decade or more of service to the state, you salary will most likely max out in the five figures. That's a pretty lousy salary for a job that requires 3 years of graduate school education filed out with inordiante amounts of stress. There are plenty of people without any graduate education earning six figures, and they don't have to pay back the student loans that lawyers have to take out in order to pay for law school. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and he doesn't even have an undergraduate degree. There are some lawyers who start out with a good salary. They work for what they call "BIGLAW" on the internet message boards. Big law firms pay their associates a starting salary in the six figures. But here's the sad news: only a tiny percentage of law school graduates will ever get these six figure jobs at big law firms. Unless you go to a top law school, the six figure big law firm job will most likely not be yours. There are only 14 top law schools. That's right. Not 10, not 15, but 14. They are, in descending order of prestige: Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, UC Berkeley, and Georgetown. And that's it. Go to any other law school, and your chances of getting a big law firm job will be slim to none. There are also distinct levels of prestige within the top 14. Yale, Harvard, and Stanford are head and shoulders above the rest. Then Columbia, NYU and maybe Chicago round out the top 6. Attending one of these top top law schools will vastly improve your odds. The guy graduating at the bottom of the class at Harvard will have better career opportunities than the guy graduating at the top of the class at an ordinary law school. Outside of the top law schools, the only law school graduates having decent job opportunities will be those who graduated in the top 10% of the class and who made law review. Law review and top 10% are usually the same people because at most law schools the law review members are selected from those whose grades are in the top 10% at the end of the first year. If like me, your grades weren't in the top 10% at the end of the first year, but you managed to graduate in the top 10%, you are screwed because you weren't on law review. Furthermore, most big law firms make offers to their summer associates, who get interviewed and hired during the second half of the second year, thus it's mostly your grades during the first three semesters of law school that determine your entire legal future. If you are reading this, and you're a law student who already received your first semester grades, and they aren't top 10%, then my advice is to drop out now instead of throwing more money down the law school black hole. Despite being warned that the only way to get a decent job in law if one attends a non-top 14 school is to make law review and the top 10%, tens of thousands of suckers will enroll anyway. They think "I will be the one who makes the top 10%" or "even if I don't make the top 10%, things will work out." Let's state the odds clearly: 90% of the class will not make the top 10%. You are not the only person in law school thinking they are going to bust their ass to make the top 10%. 80% of the people start out thinking they are going to bust their ass. And some people from the 20% who are slackers are going to wind up in the top 10% too, because law school grades have a huge random element. One of the biggest slacker/party girls in my first year law school class made the top 10%. She wound up getting a high paying job at a big law firm because the law school gods decided to randomly grace her during her first semester.
Anyone who goes into law school thinking that a law degree guarantees, in and of itself, financial wealth, personal fulfillment, and/or good health is a complete moron. Where you go to school simply dictates how difficult it is going to be to achieve the aforementioned success. It is easier for a HYS to find his or her choice job, be it BIGLAW, DOJ, or NRDC, that it is for a tier 4 grad. That does not mean, however, that every HYS grad will be successful and every tier 4 grad will be unsuccessful.
[...]Fourth, if you can make $30/hr now and you don't want to be a lawyer, than don't be a lawyer. [...]
I understand, being called "lawyer" is important for some people, although for the next 10-15 years after they finish school they'll have less money on their hands than, say, the paralegal working for them ..

I have self diagnosed myself with having overactive-letdown since my little one was 1 week old (she is now 7.5 weeks, but was born 3 weeks early). I came to that conclusion because I would have 3 letdowns that I would feel while she was eating, coughing/gagging/gulping at the beginning of each feeding, and if I took her off during the letdown I would spray her in the face. I have always just fed her on one side each time she was hungry (which was usually every 2 hours) and reclined or side lying. I guess I was block-feeding her in 2 hour increments at that time because if she got hungry before the 2 hours was up, I would still feed her on the same side. In the last week and a half, I have noticed that my breasts are softer when it is time for her to eat than they used to be, except first thing in the morning. She is eating every 2 to 3 hours with mixed in 1 hour increments here and there during the day, and 1 3 hour and 1 4 hour stretch during the night.
I did notice in the last month she would have occasional neon yellow green poop that was not seedy like it should be, but it would always change back to the normal yellow seedy color. Since Monday afternoon, she has been having the neon yellow green mucus stools with the occasional brown mixed in, seems to be grunting more to poop, and having gas pains. After doing some reading on these forums, I thought it might be a food allergy, and that I would cut out milk (since that seems to be the first thing people cut out), but then realized it could be from my OALD. Since I hadn't really had anything different to eat or more milk products that I noticed I figured I would try to fix the OALD first. So starting Wednesday morning I went to block-feeding her in 4 hour increments in which she would eat 2-3 times on a side. She had 1 normal stool on each of the last 2 days. Am I doing the right thing to block-feed? Should I give it more time to see if her stools get better or just start eliminating things from my diet? Any other suggestions?

Oneida High School Leo's Club holds volleyball fundraiser to combat cancer
ONEIDA >> The Oneida High School Leo's Club made an attempt to help block cancer at their annual Volleyball Fundraiser on April 1.
Ten teams signed up for the event, with players from the Canastota and Oneida communities as well as both schools participating. Advisor Cynthia Bobo said the group has been doing the fund aiser for five years and that all the proceeds from the event including a bake sale, T-shirt sale, 50/50 raffles and serve competition go toward cancer research. This year, the Leo's picked periwinkle for their ribbons to spread awareness of abdominal, stomach and esophageal cancers.
"The serve competition is one of our biggest donation generators," Bobo said. "Spectators buy tickets to serve; if they hit a prize they win it." Donations where given by a number of local groups.
Members of Canastota's varsity volleyball teams came together to form "Killing it for Cancer." Captain Joshua Whaley said he picked a group of friends from both teams.
"It's nice to be able to give to a good cause and just play," said junior Stephanie Seitz.
Both Seitz and Whaley were sure their team would win the competition.
"The Radiation Spikers" was also a group of students from Canastota made up of guys and girls from the track team, golf club and a couple of extra volleyball players.
Junior Josiah Carier said that despite not being the strong volleyball players, his team was going to take the win.
"It was just something fun to do," Carier said. "If it's for a good cause, why not?"
Oneida community member Ginny Pendleton was glad that her team, "Crush Cancer," got another chance to take on the kids Monday. Made up of mostly older community members and two students, the team marked their fifth year competing.
"It's fun being able to compete against the kids," Pendleton said. "It doesn't hurt that we are going to help raise some money."
Doug Kann and his family made up the core of the team, joined by his wife and sons. Although they were excited to play, Kann didn't care if they won. "We just don't want to get hurt," he said.
"The whole premise of the Leo's Club is community service," Pendleton said. "Cancer has touched many lives here in our community. It's great to provide an opportunity to raise money for cancer research and have fun at the same time."

TQ4607 : Firle Bostal
taken 7 years ago, near to Firle, East Sussex, Great Britain
This is 1 of 4 images, with title Firle Bostal in this square
Firle Parish
Firle is a parish that lies above and below the northern scarp slope of the South Downs between the River Ouse and Cuckmere River. It is bounded by Beddingham to the west, Glynde to the north west, Laughton to the north, Ripe to north east, Selmeston and Alciston to the east, and a small strip of South Heighton to the south. The parish is pretty much in control of the Gage family who reside at Firle Place and run the estate that includes the village of West Firle and the hamlet of Heighton Street. As a result the village has kept its local character and not succumbed to the problem of commuters and outsiders with second homes that can be found in other neighbouring small communities. Whilst West Firle is the official name of the village denoted on maps in general it is known as Firle.
The parish has Saxon origins and derives its name from 'Fierol' meaning a clearing amongst oak trees. The soil at the foot of the Downs is a mixture of greensand and gault ideal growing conditions for oak trees which gives some credence to this origin of the name. The soil is also very fertile and by the Domesday survey the value of the local manor was one of the highest in the area. Geologically the parish is split into three zones; in the south the chalk of the South Downs, in the middle the strip of gault and greensand, and to the north the reclaimed marshes that now makes up Laughton Level.
The main settlement in the parish is West Firle which lies along a village street to the south of Firle Park. There is no East Firle though there were references to it during the medieval period though no definite idea where it actually was, though both Charleston and Heighton Street have been put forward as possible sites. The latter lies along the east side of Firle Park and is the remnant of a settlement called Heighton St Clere, whose original manor was acquired by the Gages in the 15th century and then combined together with the old manor of Firle which resulted in the demolition of both medieval buildings and construction of the original Tudor Firle Place and the resulting park which displaced the rest of the old settlement. A couple of earthworks to the north east of the park along with a silted pond are the only reminders today.
Communication through the parish dates back to the Iron Age with the old east-west route following the brow of the South Downs. The Romans added a couple of minor routes, one running east-west which runs parallel to and between the current A27 and railway, whilst another ran south-north from the mouth of the River Ouse to the Roman Estate at Ripe. During the old medieval period a road ran along the foot of the Downs which was later turnpiked in 1752 as part of a route that linked Lewes to the developing resort of Eastbourne. That was superseded by a newer route in 1819 which bypassed the village to the north via Wick Street and Burgh Lane and became the A27 until that section was straightened in the 1960s. Other than the A27 the current lanes are either old sections of the former or quiet no through roads to the village or that climbing the Downs to a car park west of Firle Beacon. the latter owes its existence to the Second World War when it was laid to enable tanks to access the training grounds on the Downs. The lane to Ripe leaves the A27 at Stamford Pound.
The Lewes-Eastbourne railway runs through the parish to the north with the nearest station being at Glynde about a mile and a half from the village. During the medieval period a tributary of Glynde Reach provided water borne access for goods coming to and from the village and is remembered by The Dock' a name of road in the village. The watercourse was truncated when Firle Park was laid out ending at a series of old fish stews south of Decoy Pond.
The parish contains a number of attractions. Firle Place was extended from its Tudor base during the Georgian era and is now open to the public though not during 2012 as it is undergoing renovations. To the north east is Middle Farm lying next to the A27 which began as a farm shop but now is also open to all those who wish to view a working farm. To the south east is Charleston, the former home of artists Vanessa bell and Duncan Grant, and a meeting place of the interwar Bloomsbury Set. It has been open to the public since 1980.

Albert Hu's commodity trading advisor (CTA), Cauldron Investment Co., only became registered in July 2012 but his Stock Index Plus program has been in development for more than a quarter-century.
Hu, who has operated several CTAs over the years, earned degrees in mathematics from Cheng-Kung University in Taiwan in 1970 and from Santa Clara in 1973. He worked as an engineer for eight years but was really interested in trading stocks.
"I traded so often the commission I paid was more than the salary I earned as an engineer," Hu says." I thought, 'Why not become a stock broker?'"
So he took a job at Paine Webber and then became a trader on the floor of the New York Futures Exchange. "I wasn't a good floor trader. Floor trading required different skills [than what I had]," Hu says. So he went back to trading stocks while working as an account executive for Merrill Lynch and Prudential Bache in the mid-1980s. He was not a salesman, however, and by 1987 was ready to go pro. He launched CTA ALH Capital Management, which traded his proprietary trend reversal strategy.
The strategy only produced short signals in the emerging S&P 500 stock index and by the time the historic bull market of the last part of the 20th century gained momentum, there were no short signals to be had. "The signals just didn't appear anymore," Hu says. "I was just sitting there; I had to develop something else."
By 1992 Hu began researching other approaches. He discovered trend-following and developed a systematic trend-following program that excelled in trading currency futures.
He launched a new CTA, ALH Capital Corp., in 1993. The trend-following currency program had a good run but began to run out of gas in 2005 after several single digit return years. "Something happened; the system [was] no longer working, so I quit," Hu says. "So I started a fund of funds. In 2006 I began writing options after investing in several options writing systems."

Camara's buzzer-beater lifts 'Canes over Pilgrim
Last Wednesday's consolation game at the Warwick Beacon/Citizens Bank Holiday Classic didn't go exactly the way Warwick Vets planned.
But the last few seconds went exactly how the 'Canes drew it up.
Sophomore Scott Camara buried a three pointer as time expired to give Vets a dramatic 73-72 victory over cross-town rival Pilgrim, the team's first victory of the season.
"Sometimes it's not pretty but we'll take it," said Vets head coach Chris LeBlanc. "That last play – that's the way we drew it up."
Camara's buzzer-beater capped off a wild last three minutes.
Thanks to 27 points from senior Dom Malaga, the 'Canes led most of the way and thought they had put the game out of reach when they went up by seven on a Will Remak three with 3:15 left.
But Pilgrim soon came to life. Ryan Morris hit a hook shot with 2:13 left, and a Cole Furney steal then led to a three by Charles Johnston, making it 67-65 with 2:04 left. After another Vets turnover, Morris scored inside to tie the game, and Furney gave the Pats the lead with a runner on their next possession.
Vets got within a point when Carter Thomas hit one of two free throws. Pilgrim then missed a shot, and Remak was fouled when Vets got the ball. He missed both free throws, but on the rebound, the teams scrambled and Vets ended up with possession on the jump ball. Four seconds later, Remak banked in a short jumper to put Vets up 70-69.
The Pats, who had trailed by as many as 10, predictably weren't done. With 13 seconds left, Charles Johnson drained a three from the wing to put his team up 72-70.
That's when Vets delivered the heroics. Camara caught a pass on the right wing, released the shot with time ticking down and watched it swish through the net.
"The last play was a planned three," LeBlanc said. "That was our plan – cut baseline and kick it out."
Ideally, the 'Canes wouldn't have needed the buzzer beater, but they'd been unable to put Pilgrim away. LeBlanc hopes the late-game drama can be a spark. The 'Canes are now 1-6 overall.
"Hopefully it's a springboard for better things," he said. "Recently, we've been lacking some chemistry. We can play and we've played well in spurts. We've got to pull our spurts together."
As for Pilgrim, head coach Mike Batalon was pleased with his team's repeated comeback attempts. Morris led the way with 16 points, Pimental had 15 and Brendan Rix scored 12.
"I'm very proud of our effort tonight," Batalon said. "It was an up-and-down, physical game, back-and-forth. We were down seven late in the game, and I'm real proud of my guys for coming back."
Pilgrim dropped to 1-7 with the loss, but Batalon hopes the bright spots on display Wednesday can be sustained as the team heads into league play.
"We're going through some growing pains," Batalon said. "We make mistakes. But I think this kind of effort is going to help us be successful."

Stocks were little changed in choppy trading on Thursday as investors found little reason to buy following weak results from Wal-Mart Stores Inc and rising tensions in the Middle East.
After stock index futures rose before the market opened, Wall Street dipped temporarily soon after the open on data from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank that showed business activity in mid-Atlantic states unexpectedly contracted.
Continue Reading Below
The recent trend has been for stocks to struggle to hold onto even slight gains, as on Wednesday when they opened higher but slumped at midday and ended down more than 1 percent.
"There's nothing that suggests the economy is poised to free-fall or rally, and with all the uncertainty out there people are choosing to just take their 2012 gains now rather than December," said John Norris, managing director of wealth management with Oakworth Capital Bank in Birmingham, Alabama.
Stil, the S&P 500 is up 8.2 percent so far this year, though at its 2012 peak the benchmark index was up more than 17 percent.
Wal-Mart fell 3.8 percent to $68.60 after reporting third-quarter revenue that missed expectations. The company said economic conditions pressured customers' spending. Target Corp rose 1.1 percent to $62.08 after it reported a profit that beat expectations.
Weekly jobless claims spiked in the latest week, hurt by the impact of superstorm Sandy, though consumer prices came in as expected with a 0.1 percent increase. Claims totaled 439,000, over expectations of 375,000.
The Philly Fed said its business activity index slumped to -10.7 from 5.7 the month before, a much steeper fall than had been expected. The data was affected by disruption from superstorm Sandy, which slammed the U.S. Northeast in late October.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 11.56 points, or 0.09 percent, at 12,582.51. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 1.88 points, or 0.14 percent, at 1,357.37. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.97 point, or 0.03 percent, at 2,845.84.
Both the Dow and Nasdaq ended at their lowest levels since late June on Wednesday, while the S&P 500 is down about 5 percent since election night. Wednesday marked the benchmark index's lowest close since July 25.
Investors may seek bargains at these levels, but many analysts say strong gains may be hard to come by until at least one of several global macroeconomic headwinds go away.
NetApp Inc surged 9.7 percent to $29.81 a day after reporting adjusted second-quarter earnings that beat expectations and forecasting a strong current quarter.
Overseas, Israel launched a major offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza, killing the military commander of Hamas in an air strike and threatening an invasion of the enclave. Egypt said it recalled its ambassador from Israel in response.
Energy shares may be affected by the tensions in the Middle East, as any disruption in crude supplies could spark a jump in oil prices. Brent crude rose 1 percent while oilfield services company Halliburton Co rose 1.6 percent to $30.43.
President Barack Obama Wednesday reiterated his position that marginal tax rates would have to rise to tackle U.S. deficits. Taxes on capital gains and dividends could rise as part of the negotiations, pushing investors to sell this year and pay lower taxes on their gains.
A regional gauge of manufacturing in New York state slowed for a fourth straight month in November but was stronger than expected.

Passenger described as 'jittery' arrested on drug charges
September 04. 2013 12:02PM
MANCHESTER - A Manchester man was described as "nervous and jittery" by a police officer who pulled over a vehicle in which he was a passenger. The man was subsequently arrested after the officer discovered a baggy of what is suspected to be cocaine at his feet.
The officer pulled over the vehicle about 1:30 p.m. at Amherst and Walnut streets for an inspection violation.
Justin Tarmey, 29, of 367 Spruce St., was arrested, and police said they confiscated four more baggies of suspected cocaine, totaling about 1.8 grams, found on Tarmey. He is charged with possession of a controlled drug.
Tarmey could enter no plea to the felony charge at his arraignment Wednesday in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division, so a probable cause hearing was set for Sept. 17.

So do you want to see my binder? I'd love to show it to you!
I picked up this pretty binder at Target just a couple of weeks ago when we went to visit my family. Oh how I miss living close to a Target! But that's another post in and of itself.....
The next page is dedicated to Birthdays and Special Events. It's a two-sided sheet that keeps track of all the special birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and special events in our life. It's a quick at-a-glance kind of thing.
The next section is related to all things Food and Recipes. This will eventually be going into its own binder but until I get that one going, I've put the printables inside my Our Life: Binder.
Next I created a Pantry Staples sheet. It's a list gathered from The Reluctant Entertainer's book. I'd like to try and keep thse things on hand so that I can easily and quickly make some meals. I added and deleted some of my favorites to her list to make it my own.
The next section is for inspirational items. Currently I have a really great devotion that inspires me printed and placed into a protective sleeve.
And last, but not least, is a sheet for our favorite Take-Out Phone Numbers. I've also included another Avery pocket to stash coupons and menus. Yum!!

Soaking the poor: House tax hikes continue
March 18. 2013 5:20PM
Last week the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to raise the gas tax by $1 billion. On Wednesday the House is set to follow that with a 20-cent increase in the tobacco tax. If you believed that Democrats just wanted to raise taxes on "the rich," you have been misled.
New York State has the highest cigarette tax in the nation. A study commissioned by the New York Department of Health last year found that the high taxes did not discourage smoking among low-income smokers, ABC News reported last September. Rather, the poor just paid more - as much as a quarter of their income - for cigarettes. The study's author concluded that "low-income smokers are disproportionately burdened by these taxes."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2011 that "(s)moking prevalence generally decreased with increasing education and was higher among adults living below the poverty level (28.9%) than among those at or above the poverty level (18.3%)." That is, cigarette taxes fall disproportionately upon the poor.
The Department of Revenue Administration estimates that House Bill 659 would raise between $6.7 million and $11.9 million. The bill does not earmark those funds for smoking-cessation programs. So the bill would raise taxes on the poor and middle class to fund the general government. Again, this comes just one week after the House voted to hit everyone with a $1 billion gas tax hike, which would hurt low-income drivers the most. If you smoke and drive and you voted for Democrats in November because you wanted to "soak the rich," the joke's on you, pal.

U.S. Route 29
United States Route 29 is a significant roadway through Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Several construction projects are expected to begin along the corridor from 2015 to 2017 following the recommendations of the Route 29 Advisory Panel.
|This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.
|This Transportation-related article is a stub. You can help cvillepedia by expanding it.
North of Charlottesville, U.S. 29 is signed Seminole Trail.
Recent projects
- Grade separated interchange at Rio Road and US29 (design-build contract)
- 29 North Widening-Widening between Polo Grounds Road and Hollymead Town Center (design-build contract)
- Berkmar Drive Extended (design-build contract)
- Hillsdale Drive Extended (City of Charlottesville)
- Best Buy Ramp (VDOT)
These projects were recommended by Philip Shucet in the spring of 2014 following the demise of the Western Bypass. Their implementation is being overseen by the Route 29 Project Delivery Advisory Panel. [1]
The alignment of U.S. 29 follows an old stagecoach route between Charlottesville and Lynchburg. [2] Citizens urged completion of a state highway south of Charlottesville at a meeting of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors in January 1925. [3]
Opposition to grade separation
"Albemarle County and Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission staff are working with consultants to produce more definitive cost estimates for the five grade separated interchanges proposed along the US 29 North Corridor.
The issue of grade separation has been much debated with deep reservations expressed by the business community regarding the planned transportation network. Specifically, many voiced opposition to grade separated interchanges, noting that they are costly, disruptive to construct, and could have the affect of disconnecting traffic from vital community enterprises along this commercial corridor." Free Enterprise Forum February Forum Watch[citation needed]
Potential renaming
In October 2006, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors considered a request from the University of Virginia Athletics Department to rename the road from Seminole Trail to Cavalier Way, after the Virginia mascot. The renaming of the road became a front page story in The Daily Progress and the subject of an editorial in the paper. The matter was quickly dropped by the Board of Supervisors and no action was taken.[4]

Three vehicles ran off the road within a mile of the intersection of U.S. 29 and Red Hill Road in southern Albemarle. [5]

HOUSTON — When Chandler Parsons started the season 0-for-8 on 3-pointers, the Houston Rockets were confident that they would start falling for him eventually.
Pretty soon he started hitting a few, and on Friday night he was a career-best 6 of 6 from behind the arc.
Parsons scored 21 points and the Rockets picked up their fourth straight win, rolling to an easy 114-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
"I started the season shooting really poorly," Parsons said. "It's all about staying confident and sticking with it and just continuing to put in the work in the gym. I've worked too hard for it not to start paying off."
The Rockets led by 26 points at halftime and Brooklyn coach Jason Kidd benched all his starters except Brook Lopez for the entire second half.
"We had to go with the guys who were going to play hard," Kidd said. "Those were the guys, and I played them the whole second half."
Houston made a season-high 19 3-pointers, led by the perfect night by Parsons, who scored all his points in the first three quarters.
"If you get ball movement that we want and body movement that we want, we should be able to get open 3s," coach Kevin McHale said. "We are one of the teams that looks for it and shoots a lot of them."
James Harden scored nine points with seven assists for the Rockets in his return after missing three games with a sore left foot. He played almost 26 minutes.
Lopez was also back after sitting out the last six games with a sprained left ankle. He started in place of Kevin Garnett and scored 16 points in about 21 minutes.
"The last three teams have great 3-point shooting teams and we gave them easy looks from that distance," Lopez said, adding that he felt great after the game.
Mason Plumlee and Tyshawn Taylor each scored 16 points for the Nets, who have dropped 10 of their last 12. Taylor's 16 points were a career high and he also had 12 assists.
Kidd said he thinks his starters weren't playing hard because they were fatigued before this trip after playing in Toronto on Tuesday before a home game against the Lakers on Wednesday.
"That's a problem," he said. "We have to address that ... we've got to figure out what the problem is with our starting group."
Omri Casspi scored 16, Francisco Garcia had 15 and Dwight Howard added 12 points and seven rebounds.
Brooklyn shot just 33 percent overall in the first half and only 10 percent from 3-point range. Brooklyn's backups didn't fare any better. Houston used an 8-2 run in the third quarter to make its lead 80-48. Parsons had a 3-pointer during the run and Terrence Jones also scored three points.
The Rockets led by 16 with about five minutes left in the second quarter before using a 16-6 spurt to push the lead to 66-40 at halftime. The Nets missed seven shots, had two turnovers and allowed the Rockets to have easy look after easy look as they built the lead.
The Rockets led 33-17 at the end of the first quarter.
Houston scored the game's first six points and was up by four before using a 13-0 run to extend the lead to 25-8 with about three minutes left in the first quarter.
Howard missed a hook shot at the end of that run before Casspi grabbed the rebound and tossed a no-look, backward pass to Garcia. His 3-point attempt bounced off the rim but Howard was there to tip it in.
Harden showed that he was feeling good early when he juked Joe Johnson off the dribble at the top of the key, drawing an 'ooh' from the crowd, and dashed into the lane for a wide-open layup. He missed it, but Howard was there to grab the rebound and finish with a dunk.
Rockets add to Nets' misery
HOUSTON — When Chandler Parsons started the season 0-for-8 on 3-pointers, the Houston Rockets were confident that they would start falling for him eventually.

Reza Kahlili served the CIA Directorate of Operations as a spy in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. He tells the story in A Time to Betray. Kahlili now asserts that an explosion at Iran's underground nuclear facility at Fordo has destroyed much of the installation and trapped about 240 personnel deep underground, all "according to a former intelligence officer of the Islamic regime." The explosion is said to have taken place on Monday. Israeli news stories — here and here — on Kahlili's account rightly emphasize that the account remains uncorroborated by any source.
Kahlili's account appears on the WND site. It would be nice to have a little bit more in the way of information that might allow readers to evaluate the veracity of the account. Even more questionable, however, is the lead in the New York Times story on outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak (linked by Drudge). With the help of two other Times reporters, Isabel Kershner relates that, according to Barak, "the Pentagon had prepared sophisticated blueprints for a surgical operation to set back Iran's nuclear program should the United States decide to attack" and, according to Kershner, this is "a statement that was a possible indication that Israel might have shelved any plans for a unilateral strike, at least for now." Possibly!
The Times of Israel runs an interesting account of an interview with Iran's former counsel in Oslo, Mohammad Reza Heydari. Having obtained political asylum in Norway there three years ago, Heydari asserts that "[i]f Iran is given more time, it will acquire the knowledge necessary to build a nuclear bomb within a year." Asked whether Iran would use the bomb against Israel, he said: "If Iran gets to the point where it has an atomic bomb, it will certainly use it, against Israel or any other [enemy] country."
In this context, consider Norman Podhoretz's assessment in an interview with Giulio Meotti: "If Iran gets the bomb, the Israelis would have to decide whether to preempt or to retaliate from the rubble. The Iranians would face the same decision. Each would therefore have an irresistible incentive to beat the other to the punch. It is hard, if not impossible, to see how a nuclear exchange could be avoided under such circumstances."
Also linked by Drudge is the AP story on the latest announcement of Iranian foreign policy:
As quoted by the semiofficial Mehr news agency, an aide to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Syria held a key position among a group of Middle Eastern powers opposed to U.S. and Israeli influence in the region.
"Syria plays a very key role in supporting or, God forbid, destabilizing the resistance front," said Ali Akbar Velayati. "For this same reason, (an) attack on Syria is considered (an) attack on Iran and Iran's allies."
The Khameni Doctrine! It's long past time to bring back the Monroe Doctrine to address Iran's operations in the Americas.

Police boost presence in rural town amid gang feud
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaica's top police official and a group of commanding officers have toured a small farming town in the south of the island after an uptick in violence resulted in three homicides in recent days.
Police Commissioner Owen Ellington says there will immediately be a boost in police patrols in Linstead, a rural town in St. Catherine parish known for its bustling vegetable and fruit market.
Police say an internal gang dispute has erupted over shares of illegal cash and has led to three killings, including two Sunday.
Ellington says officers are sure that townspeople have information about the recent killings and he is urging them to provide detectives with information.
Police reported 1,087 killings last year on Jamaica, an island with about 2.7 million residents.

The following is what our readers sounded off about this week:
One less thing to ignore
It is interesting to read our esteemed state senator say that the biggest benefit from an increased speed limit will be that it will reduce the amount of drivers that ignore the posted speed limit. Does he really think that way? The same ones who ignore the previous speed limit will ignore this one. Now that is out of the way. Why not work on stop signs? We could take them all out and replace them with yield signs. Probably the same people who ignore speed limits also ignore stop signs. It would be one less thing for them to ignore.
Wonderful dogs
I'm responding to "Shut down puppy mills." We have purchased two puppies from a store, and we've had good luck. As far as the medical bills, to the person who says shut down puppy mills, if you adopt a baby, how do you find out about the medical condition of the parents who had the baby? You don't return the baby, do you? It's the same with a puppy. I've had friends who have adopted dogs at a shelter, and that is why I went to a puppy store. They had nothing but bad luck. The dogs were aggressive. They said the dogs were 2 years old, but they were 4 years old. It's a chance you take. That's life. Life is a chance of choices and decisions. The puppy mills at the stores? Keep them going. We've got two wonderful dogs here.
Thankful for blood donors
I recently had to be in the hospital and received several blood transfusions. As I lie in bed, watching the blood drip into my very weak body, it made me think of the wonderful people who donate the blood. I just want to thank everybody who has ever donated blood and encourage others to do so. Again, a big thanks. You are always in my prayers.
It doesn't even make sense
I wonder how many Rotolo Middle School parents know that their kids' student IDs for this year are using the same photo they had taken last year. This doesn't even make sense. The ID's purpose is to identify the kids, and how many middle school students look the same from one year to the next? I called the school, and they said this way, they could get the IDs printed and to the students on the first day of school instead of having to wait a week or so. I don't understand the tragedy of having to wait a week or so.
Just a filibuster session
There was a meeting last night at St. Mark's Church in Geneva. And they had, supposedly, some pretty high-powered people there promoting the immigration reform bill that was passed by the Senate. Those of us who went to the meeting realize that all it was, was a filibuster session, with no real proposals other than, pass the bill and, emotionally, make sure we take care of these illegal immigrants. Not one time did they mention about the unemployed American citizens. Not one time did they look at the poor and underprivileged Americans who are out of work and need jobs. Everything was about, we need these illegal immigrants. I have not seen one bit of evidence that we need immigrants to work in this country. What I have seen is our educational system is failing to educate our students to take these jobs, so we have to file for all these extra visas that cowtow to immigrants but don't do anything for American citizens. American citizens have to pay through the nose to go to college, but yet private scholarships are paying for illegal immigrants and immigrants to go to college, and guess where they're going to college? Here in the United States, where they say our children aren't educated enough to take the jobs in the United States. We don't have enough people to fill the STEM requirements.
Why the light sentence?
Why such a light sentence for Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife? [If] it was anybody else, he would have gotten a longer sentence. All these people who sent those letters to say he is good and this and that … isn't that discrimination? He got such a light sentence, and Rod Blagojevich, who was the former Illinois governor, gets 14 years? I can't understand this.

Clarkson President Tony Collins Addresses State Senate Task Force At High Tech Development Hearing
Clarkson University President Tony Collins delivered a presentation earlier this week at a public hearing of the New York State Task Force on Economic Development and the Emerging Industries (a.k.a. NextGen task force) in Albany.
In a speech delivered at the invitation of Senator Raymond Meier, Collins addressed issues related to university research and economic opportunities in the high-tech and biotechnology fields.
Collins pointed to promising new technologies, including a virtual wheelchair and coatings for heart valve and knee replacements, developed at Clarkson through the State's $4.5 million investment to support biotechnology last year as part of its Gen*NY*sis (Generating Employment Through New York Science) program.
He added that northern New York's location would be attractive to high-tech firms and could outstrip areas such as Manhattan in terms of "being able to attract people interested in our quality of life, if the best equipment, laboratories and Internet connections were available."
Collins urged the task force to continue its commitment to regional business development by providing research institutions with the necessary support to commercialize technologies and encourage product development. He cited the key role the State could play in attracting investment by supporting private venture capital funds, addressing liability issues, and maintaining more reliable Internet access.
The NextGen task force was created in December to build upon recent state investments in high-tech and biotechnology achieved through the Gen*NY*sis program and the Governor's "Centers of Excellence" initiative, which are designed to support research institutions and stimulate economic growth.
The task force's main objective is to address the business side or "phase II," issues confronting the state's current technology and biotechnology industries through additional investment that could stimulate economic growth and job opportunities. This week's hearing was the first in a series of hearings the task force is holding around the state.Since his inauguration as president of Clarkson University last July, Collins has pledged a commitment to supporting the regional economy by leveraging the resources of the University through private venture capital funds and intellectual property commercialization.

Upcoming Exhibitions
From Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program
←Older revision | Newer revision→
Jennifer Davis, Erika Olson, Terrance Payne, and Joe Sinness
Friday, October 22, 2010—Sunday, January 2, 2011
Minnesota Artists Exhibition Gallery
The Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program presents "Flourish," a group exhibition featuring new work by four Minneapolis artists: Jennifer Davis, Erika Olson Gross, Terrence Payne, and Joe Sinness.
Davis's delicate paintings include a cast of animal, monster, and human characters who all have parts to play in her colorful fantasies. But her charming, Easter-egg palette belies the underlying psychological dramas of introversion and lost innocence.
Olson Gross is a multi-media artist whose sculptures and paintings express the poetry and fecundity of nature. Her most recent bucolic landscapes are intricately painted. The illustrative, woodblock-print flatness of her animal and flora forms resemble collaged scraps of paper attached to the canvas.
Payne's large oil pastels on paper produce a sense of humor tinged with melancholy; the hand-written captions reveal his characters' internal narratives of disappointment, apathy, and resignation.
Rendered in colored pencil with a fastidious, hyper-realistic attention to detail, Sinness' baroque-style drawings are filled with color, pattern, and texture. The work implies sexual double-entendres and employs sly turns of phrase.

Work advice: Disability reassurance for returning to work
Editor's note: Karla L. Miller writes an advice column on navigating the modern workplace. Each week she will answer one or two questions from readers.
Q: A car accident eight years ago left me with physical limitations and post-traumatic stress disorder. I would like to re-enter the workforce, but if I can't handle the load, I will have to go through another process to be deemed disabled again -- and because the disability amount is based on income in past years, I would receive next to nothing to live on. Additionally, an eight-year gap on my resume, plus revealing that I have PTSD and have been receiving disability pay, may not sit well with potential employers. Is there a safe and effective strategy for returning to work without risking it all?
A: Most of us don't have to think about how a disability could pre-empt or derail a career -- but anyone could end up in your position. And someone in your position could end up anywhere. Just ask Kathy Martinez, assistant secretary for disability employment policy at the Department of Labor, who aided in this response. Because she is blind, she truly understands your concerns about supporting yourself and persuading employers to see what you offer.
Step 1: Get a support system. Do you still have a medical team helping with your recovery? If not, ask your general practitioner for contacts -- including a therapist who can gauge your readiness to make this leap. For emotional support, Martinez says, your local Independent Living Center (www.ilru.org) can connect you with peers with disabilities.
Step 2: Get the real picture about your benefits. Knowing exactly what you're up against is the best defense against paralyzing fear. Your local Social Security Office can provide you with advice and information.
Step 3: Get looking. The Labor Department's Career OneStop (www.servicelocator.org) aggregates information on jobs and training programs, as does the Job Accommodation Network (Askjan.org).
Step 4: Get a foot in the door. Volunteering in your desired field will give you experience and confidence without jeopardizing your financial lifeline. But Martinez points out that you can retain some benefits even while trying out a paying job, up to a certain salary threshold. Find more information at www.ssa.gov/redbook.
Step 5: Get hired. Focus on the skills you offer while being honest about accommodations you need. "Your best defense," Martinez says, "is an offense: Be all that you can be." The Labor Department publication "Youth, Disclosure, and the Workplace: Why, When, What, and How" discusses the decision to disclose (or not) a disability to a potential employer.
Karla L. Miller has written for and edited tax publications for 16 years, most recently for the accounting firm KPMG's Washington National Tax office.

That may be a possible result, but it's really just about being fair to him. I doubt more than half of this league know the draft has officially started.
fine wrote:to be fair zshook had no idea the draft would be starting. I say give him until sometime tomorrow (12pm pacific) and then we give him the highest ranked. (he may be a CP3 man)
and 8 hours is a bit short at such an early stage. 12, 16, or even 24 hr for the first few rounds sounds better. we can then speed it up when we know we're getting behind.
We'll give zshook the next full day to make his pick and then we'll make the pick for him.
Everyone participating in this league has to check this draft every morning and evening in whatever timezone they're in. I think most of us have stated where we live, so we all know what timezones we are all in. By checking the draft thread every morning and evening, you can't possibly not make your pick within a day or less. We have done this the last three years and it has worked real well with usually three to six picks made every day and the draft being completed quickly

Can someone alter the first post in the thread to include the draft order, as well as the players taken by each person?
and list of available players? or taken players.
I don't know if Migya has a lot of time for the internet during office. I messaged him a google spreadsheet link where we could just enter our pick in after we have made a selection.
But otherwise it'd be the responsibility of a moderator to handle the editing of the first post.

In the 1990s, playing college football during the week was an unorthodox idea, but officials in the Mid-American Conference also saw it as an opportunity.
When Paul Palian, now the director of media and public relations at Northern Illinois, was working with the MAC as its assistant commissioner for marketing and broadcasting, he said the league proposed showcasing football games on Monday nights.
The idea was for the MAC to host games at 6 p.m. as a lead-in to the NFL's "Monday Night Football." The conference already had begun what it called "MAC Mondays" during basketball season, where regional sports networks, such as Chicago's SportsChannel, would showcase a MAC women's game at 6 p.m., followed by a half-hour magazine-style show and then a men's game.
"At the time, it was unconventional to play college football other than Saturdays or maybe those Thursday night games," Palian said.
The MAC's eagerness to have its schools shown on ESPN's family of networks led league officials to buy in to weekday game scheduling for the conference's most important games. They also agreed to give network officials considerable input into what games would be scheduled for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and what channel they would appear on.
However, the emergence of other networks eager to boost their stable of live sports events could give the MAC more leverage in negotiating its next TV contract, or in renegotiating its current one.
Nontraditional kickoff times have become a staple in the MAC. This season, 11 conference games were scheduled on a Tuesday or Wednesday, including three involving NIU.
The midweek matchups began when the first MAC Championship Game was created in 1997. The MAC was the third league to have a conference title game, but unlike the Southeastern Conference and Big 12, the MAC didn't play its title game on a Saturday. The game took place on a Friday night, and the MAC held the championship on either a Thursday or Friday night ever since.
It was a sign of things to come.
In 1999, ESPN had a spot open up on Thursday, Oct. 14. Marshall, which would finish the season unbeaten and ranked 10th in the final Associated Press poll, beat Toledo, 34-14, on the network's flagship station.
In 2000, Toledo and Bowling Green played a Wednesday night game televised on ESPN2, and the midweek games continued in the next few seasons, increasing to five in 2004, including NIU's first Tuesday game, a 31-17 loss to Toledo.
Former MAC commissioner Rick Chryst credits the league's overall success in 2003 for bringing the MAC to where it is today. NIU went 10-2 with wins over Maryland, Alabama and Iowa State. Miami finished 10th in the final AP poll and Bowling Green was ranked 23rd. The ESPN show "College GameDay" even traveled to Bowling Green on Oct. 25 when NIU visited Doyt-Perry Stadium.
That year transformed the perception of the conference from a collection of marginal programs to a conference that could be a factor in the national picture, Chryst said.
"It really solidified the MAC as a major college football playing conference," Chryst said. "The context, really the first part of the decade was, a lot of the talk was about [NCAA Division 1-A] standards and minimum attendance, and was the league vulnerable to losing its 1-A status.
"The reality was going to be, do you look the part or not? Are you on TV? Are you in bowl games? Are you sending guys to the NFL? Because it was going to be a political judgment in the end."
After the 2003 season, midweek games became a MAC staple.
"It all kind of evolved out of the fact that ESPN was looking for nontraditional windows for college football," said Bob Gennarelli, who oversees scheduling and TV for the MAC. "When I arrived here with Rick Chryst, who was the commissioner in 1999, the directive from campus was television, we need more national television opportunities."
Each winter, Gennarelli creates the football schedule for the next season, and ESPN has veto power on what games go in the midweek slots. ESPN officials decide what channel will show the game six to 12 days before kickoff. For example, Wednesday's Ball State-NIU game was slated for ESPN2, while the Miami (Ohio)-Kent State contest was relegated to ESPNU.
There is no flex scheduling, and Wednesday's Miami-Kent State game is an example of the perils of trying to forecast games that will make the best midweek matchups before the season begins. The Golden Flashes nearly made a BCS bowl last year but are only 2-8 this season, while the winless RedHawks fired coach Don Treadwell earlier this season.
Gennarelli said the league would like the opportunity for more Thursday or Friday nights, but that's easier said than done. Gennarelli said there could be some Friday opportunities in terms of upcoming marquee nonconference games, such as Missouri's visit to Toledo or Syracuse's trip to Central Michigan in 2014, but both schools would have to agree on the date.
Meanwhile, competition for the midweek airtime is growing. The Sun Belt Conference scheduled two Tuesday games this year, and American Athletic Conference members Cincinnati and Memphis played on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Yet the MAC still is in good position to garner more money if the conference renegotiates its TV deal with ESPN or signs a new one after the current deal expires in 2016. The value broadcast rights for live sports has skyrocketed in recent years and the power conferences have reaped the benefits with long-term deals averaging more than $200 million annually.
Although the MAC's next TV deal won't approach those numbers, the addition of several 24/7 sports networks will add to the MAC's bargaining power. CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports Network and Fox Sports 1 and 2 now are players in the bidding.
"These guys are tripping over themselves trying to get live events," said Bob Adgate, research director at Horizon Media. "[Midweek games] could be kind of a boost for these mid-level conferences like the MAC."
Adgate added that the MAC could be seen as a cheaper alternative that provides a familiar and trusted product to viewers on less competitive football nights.
It all means that an unconventional trend, which has evolved from only a single MAC midweek game more than 10 years ago, likely will continue and become more prevalent in the conference for years to come.
"The beauty of the midweek games is it gives us primetime exposure when we otherwise wouldn't get them. The windows are simply not available for primetime [on Saturday]," MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said. "Could that change somewhere down the road? Perhaps. But for the foreseeable future, no. So if we want those windows, we're going with the midweek."

Nordic Games was the only bidder to offer a figure which matched or exceed the reserve set for the auction lot that included the Darksiders franchise, the firm's business & product development director Reinhard Pollice has revealed.
"I cant go much into detail about this and I don't know who else was bidding," wrote Pollice on the franchise's newly opened Nordic Games forum. "However we were the only party that made an offer where THQ was willing to sell Darksiders. All other offers were far below from their internal reserve price."
Regarding what Nordic Games plans to do with the IP, Pollice wrote: "Naturally we don't have any sure plans for the future of the series as we don't even have a development team.
"So for now we will be analysing the situation and try to figure out what's the best option.
"One thing is sure: The tale of the four horsemen is not over!"
Interestingly, Vigil co-founder Ryan Stefanelli who is now at Crytek, popped up on the forum thread to offer some advice.
"As one of the co-founders of Vigil and the lead level designer/principal designer on both games, all I can say is... make it adventurous," he wrote.
"And do what we would've done: let people know what happens when those other three comets land on Earth! Four player co-op or bust!
"Good luck to you guys. You've adopted our baby."
Back in March, Stefanelli revealed that Crytek was bidding for Darksiders, Tweeting: "Time to bring it home. Crytek to bid on the Darksiders IP!"
Ben Cureton, former lead combat designer at Vigil who is also now at Crytek, added that he'd be happy to take the franchise off Nordic Games' hands."
"If you decide you don't want to continue making games for the series, let me know," he wrote. "We'd be more than happy to take the IP off your hands. In fact, you can even have all of the money that DS1 and DS2 continue to generate!"
Darksiders is one of many IPs Nordic Games is set to acquire from THQ, including Red Faction, MX vs ATV, Titan Quest, Supreme Commander, Frontlines, Destroy All Humans, Full Spectrum Warrior and more.

Denver Museum of Nature & Science Curator Finds New Species of Dinosaur
New carnivorous dinosaur from Madagascar raises intriguing questions about the fossil record
Denver, CO—April 18, 2013—The first new species of dinosaur from Madagascar in nearly a decade was announced today, filling an important gap in the island's fossil record. Dr. Joseph Sertich, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, discovered the dinosaur.
Dahalokely tokana (pronounced "dah-HAH-loo-KAY-lee too-KAH-nah") is estimated to have lived around 90 million years ago and have been between nine and 14 feet long. Dahalokely belongs to a group called abelisauroids, carnivorous dinosaurs common to the southern continents. Up to this point, no dinosaur remains from between 165 and 70 million years ago could be identified to the species level in Madagascar–a 95 million year gap in the fossil record. Dahalokely shortens this gap by 20 million years.
The fossils of Dahalokely were excavated in 2007 and 2010, near the city of Antsiranana (Diego-Suarez) in northernmost Madagascar. Bones recovered included vertebrae and ribs. Because this part of the skeleton is so distinct in some dinosaurs, the research team was able to definitively identify the specimen as a new species. Several unique features—including the shape of some cavities on the side of the vertebrae—were unlike those in any other dinosaur. Other features in the vertebrae identified Dahalokely as an abelisauroid dinosaur.
When Dahalokely was alive, Madagascar was connected to India, and the two landmasses were isolated in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Geological evidence indicates that India and Madagascar separated around 88 million years ago, just after Dahalokely lived. Thus, Dahalokely potentially could have been ancestral to animals that lived later in both Madagascar and India. However, not quite enough of Dahalokely is yet known to resolve this issue. The bones known so far preserve an intriguing mix of features found in dinosaurs from both Madagascar and India.
"This dinosaur was closely related to other famous dinosaurs from the southern continents, like the horned Carnotaurus from Argentina and Majungasaurus, also from Madagascar," said Sertich. "This just reinforces the importance of exploring new areas around the world where undiscovered dinosaur species are still waiting."
The name Dahalokely tokana is from the Malagasy language, meaning "lonely small bandit." This refers to the presumed carnivorous diet of the animal, as well as to the fact that it lived at a time when the landmasses of India and Madagascar together were isolated from the rest of the world.
"We had always suspected that abelisauroids were in Madagascar 90 million years ago, because they were also found in younger rocks on the island. Dahalokely nicely confirms this hypothesis," said project leader Andrew Farke, Augustyn Family Curator of Paleontology at the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology. "But, the fossils of Dahalokely are tantalizingly incomplete—there is so much more we want to know. Was Dahalokely closely related to later abelisauroids on Madagascar, or did it die out without descendents?"
The research was funded by the Jurassic Foundation, Sigma Xi, National Science Foundation, and the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology. The paper naming Dahalokely appears in the April 18, 2013, release of the journal PLOS ONE.

BOSTON — Through four games of the Eastern Conference Final against Tampa Bay, Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas has allowed 13 goals.
His counterpart Dwayne Roloson has surrendered just one more, 14, in the same number of games. But Roloson has been pulled from two games and heading into tonight's Game 5 is a question mark to get the start at the TD Garden.
Today after his team's morning skate Bruins head coach Claude Julien explained why he's stuck with Thomas through thick and thin, not just in this series but the entire postseason.
"Well I think the one thing we have to recognize from Tim is when you look back at some of the games that we've played, whether it was in other series and other things, Montreal was a good example of that. We're up 3-0 and two really weak goals go in on him. He stood on his head at the end of the game and helped us win those games," said Julien. "And we've seen that same thing in that 6-5 win here [Game 2 vs. Tampa Bay] where we let them back into the game. He stood on his head.
"So for me, I had a lot of confidence in Tim being able to bounce back from giving up bad goals. And that's why we haven't pulled him yet. And there's certainly some reasoning behind that."
The Lightning have beaten Thomas, the expected winner of the Vezina Trophy for the second time in three years, twice in this series. Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher, however, wants his team to do a better job of solving Boston's netminder.
"He's a very confident goaltender. … And we've had some good moments, but we've had some where it didn't pan out for us, and we're expecting him to be at his best tonight," said Boucher. "So certainly [I'm] not ready to say that we've done very well against him. If we had done very well against him, we'd be up in this series, so we haven't."
The Lightning scored four times against the NHL single-season save percentage record holder. Any more goals against Thomas and not only will the Lightning probably win, they might even chase him from the crease.
