PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Paul George scored 25 points and David West had 18 to help the Indiana Pacers beat Philadelphia 101-94 on Friday night, sending the 76ers to their 19th straight loss.
With a loss to Memphis on Saturday, the Sixers can tie the franchise record for consecutive defeats in a single season. The Sixers lost 20 straight games from Jan. 9, 1973-Feb. 11, 1973 in a 9-73 season. The NBA record for consecutive losses in a season is 26 set by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Sixers last won on Jan. 29 on Evan Turner's buzzer-beater at Boston. Turner was traded to the Pacers at the Feb. 20 deadline and is now a key reserve on a team expected to make a deep run in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Thaddeus Young led the Sixers with 25 points on 10-of-31 shooting and had 10 assists.
MIAMI (AP) — Kenneth Faried scored 24 points, Darrell Arthur led a big effort from Denver's bench with 18, and the Nuggets beat the suddenly reeling Miami Heat, handing the NBA champions their fifth loss in six games.
Evan Fournier scored 14, Ty Lawson had 13 and JJ Hickson added 11 for the Nuggets. Denver's reserves scored 57 points.
Ray Allen scored 22 points for Miami, which fell three games behind Indiana in the race for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. LeBron James scored 21 points, Dwyane Wade added 19, Mario Chalmers had 16 and Chris Andersen scored 14 for the Heat, who turned the ball over 20 times and shot 7 for 24 from 3-point range.
It was only the fifth win for Denver in its last 18 games.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Blake Griffin had 20 points and Chris Paul shook off a sprained ankle to score 18 points and extended the Los Angeles Clippers' winning streak to 10.
Los Angeles had its lowest points total during the streak, but the Clippers won this time with defense, forcing 20 turnovers by the Utah Jazz that led to 31 points.
The Jazz led 70-60 in the third-quarter, but the Clippers capitalized on a rash of Utah miscues and poor shot selection to go on a 20-2 run.
Paul landed awkwardly against the basketball standard after a layup, spraining his left ankle. The point guard limped up and down the court, but still quarterbacked the Clippers' come-from-behind-third quarter burst. He had seven points and three assists in the six-minute run that ended with Will Green's 3-pointer with 10:37 to play that made it 80-72.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Danny Green had 15 points and the San Antonio Spurs won their ninth straight, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 119-85 for their largest victory over their longtime rivals.
San Antonio never trailed after the opening four minutes, allowing coach Gregg Popovich to limit his starters and Manu Ginobili to an average of 17 minutes.
The Spurs had five reserves score in double-figures, led by Matt Bonner's 13 points and 10 rebounds. San Antonio (49-16) maintained the league's best record ahead of Indiana and Oklahoma City, who are both 48-17.
Pau Gasol had 18 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes and Jodie Meeks had 15 points for Los Angeles (22-44), which has lost five of six.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — John Wall had 12 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, Trevor Ariza added 21 points and 11 rebounds overall, and the Washington Wizards hung on to beat the Orlando Magic in overtime.
The victory ends the Wizards' two-game losing streak overall, and a seven-game road losing streak to the Magic.
Bradley Beal added 20 points before being helped off the court with an injury in overtime. Marcin Gortat finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds.
Tobias Harris had 21 points and Arron Afflalo finished with 18 to lead the Magic. Orlando has now lost five in a row and 11 of their last 14.
TORONTO (AP) — Jonas Valanciunas scored a season-high 23 points, Kyle Lowry had 22 points and 12 assists against his former team and the Toronto Raptors won for the 11th time in 14 games, beating the Memphis Grizzlies.
Greivis Vasquez scored 17 points, DeMar DeRozan had 16 and Amir Johnson 12 as the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors snapped a four-game home losing streak against the Grizzlies and improved to 16-0 at home this season when leading after three quarters.
Ten of DeRozan's points came in the fourth quarter, helping Toronto win back-to-back games against the Grizzlies after losing eight of the previous nine meetings.
Zach Randolph scored 16 points, only six after the first, as Memphis saw its four-game winning streak snapped.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Al Jefferson had 25 points and 16 rebounds, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves for their eighth straight victory at home.
Jefferson set a single-season franchise record with his 20th 20-point, 10-rebound game of the season.
The Bobcats, currently the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, came in averaging 103.9 points and shooting 47 percent in their last seven homes games. They shot 48 percent against the Timberwolves.
Gary Neal, benched Wednesday for an "internal team matter," returned and provided a huge lift off the bench with 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting.
Charlotte led by as many as 18 points in the second half and the Timberwolves were never able to get the lead under double-digits after the break. Kevin Martin had 19 points to lead Minnesota.
BOSTON (AP) — Goran Dragic scored 20 points and the Phoenix Suns scored the last seven to beat the cold-shooting Boston Celtics.
After Jeff Green's two free throws for Boston made it 80-80 with 2:02 left, the fourth tie of the fourth quarter, Alex Len started the decisive spurt with a three-point play on a tip-in and a free throw. The Suns finished the scoring with a dunk by Markieff Morris and a layup by Dragic.
Eric Bledsoe had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Morris added 15 points for Phoenix, which broke a three-game losing streak and moved one game behind Memphis for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.
Kris Humphries had 11 points and 13 rebounds and Chris Johnson scored 11 for the Celtics, who lost for the 10th time in 13 games.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Damian Lillard scored 27 points, Nicolas Batum added 22 and the Portland Trail Blazers snapped a four-game skid while playing without All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans.
Wesley Matthews had 20 points for the Trail Blazers, who held out Aldridge with a back contusion.
Anthony Davis scored a career-high 36 points for New Orleans and Brian Roberts added 19. Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon added 16 apiece after both missed one game because of illness.
Trailing 94-89 with less than six minutes to go in the game, Lillard went on a personal 7-0 run and his jumper with 4:15 remaining gave Portland the lead for good at 96-94.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Spencer Hawes had 22 points and 13 rebounds to help the Cleveland Cavaliers erase an 18-point first-half deficit on the way to a victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Dion Waiters added 18 points and Luol Deng and Kyrie Irving had 16 apiece for the Cavaliers, who overcame a slow start to take the game over in the final three quarters and snap a six-game losing streak against the Warriors.
Stephen Curry scored 27 points on his 26th birthday and Draymond Green added 18 but it wasn't enough to prevent another bad home loss by the Warriors, who were without starting guard Klay Thompson. He was in the Bahamas for his grandfather's funeral.

When Backing Up Your Birth Control Isn't So Simple
March 30, 2011 § 6 Comments
by ELENA
Last week, I spent 72 hours in the hospital after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. In normal terms: I have a blood clot in my leg. The cause? My birth control, which I had been on since the start of June.
I'm lucky. I have insurance, and access to heath care and physical therapy. I'm on rounds of blood thinner medication, and am slowly beginning to recover, and move around normally. However, I am not allowed to use any hormonal birth control for an entire year. Any extra dose of estrogen could be fatal.
So, most contraceptive methods, and Plan B are off-limits to me. And while having a bad leg and withdrawals from painkillers mean that sex is not the highest priority on my list, I know that will not always be the case. And I also know that my options for a contraceptive other than condoms (which are always a given for me anyway) are slim. They include diaphragms and the copper, non-hormonal IUD.
Sometimes I think we forget that hormonal contraceptives are not always the be-all-end-all solution for wanting to enjoy sex without the risk of unplanned pregnancy. I can't just take a pill every day, or take a more expensive pill if a condom should break. Those pills could kill me.
§ 6 Responses to When Backing Up Your Birth Control Isn't So Simple
I hope you feel better soon. That's gotta be massively scary to face and to know the birth control was the stresser for it all. And to know you have to be careful for the next year, especially the next year, with more care being taken for any other medications that might be deadly.
I can't take birth control. Even the lowest dosage plunges my body and blood sugars to dangerous levels. I figured sex was a bottom priority comparatively speaking. I wish there was other options for us, but I have a feeling that women's health care is a low priority right now.
Girl, let me tell you the copper IUD is where it's at! It's only $70-something dollars that you pay once for having pretty accurate birth control for a few years. And without having hormones to fuck up your body chemistry it's a win-win situation. I've been using them for years now and I will NEVER EVER go back.

Three years ago I started finding pig tracks on our hunting land. Last year my uncle spotted some. This year on openning day (last Saterday)The pigs finally showed themselves to me. About thirty minutes before dark a herd of pigs came into a small clearing about thirty yards away from my stand. I counted eleven, and estimate there was eight to ten more. All were identical in size and color except one. The odd pig out was twice the size and brown not black. They were diffinatly razorback, not ferral. I picked the second closest one, as it offered the best shot-broadside. At the shot the pig fell to its chest, then started pushing itself with its hind legs. It did this for twentyfive feet or so, rolled over on its back, then regained its feet. It then proceeded to skeedadle. I spent the next five hours on my hands and knees in a five year cutover following sparse and dwindling blood. My load was a 225 grn hpl .44 cal sabot in a 50 cal with 90 grns pyrodex. The gun shoots 4" at 100 yds. My sight picture was pefect and I know about the sheild on a pig-I used to vidiotape hunts at a game ranch (once vidiotaped Steven Segal)- and felt confident this bullet/load would perform at that distance. In fifteen years of hunting deer, Ive only lost one that I could prove I hit (missed several) and am sick about this. Does any one have any insight/ suggestions?
Thanks- Senco

I have not shot one of these, but hogs are supposed to have a "gristle plate" somewhere in the shoulder area. It may be that your bullet struck that and merely stunned the porker, doing relatively little damage.
I think you indicate you used a hollow point. It may have expanded too quickly on that "plate" or a large bone and not penetrated the vitals for a killing shot.
I suspect the animal survived and will recover.

In my limited experience with hogs, they do not readily admit their own demise. The situation becomes more bleak when you blow the heart out of 'em and there is no blood trail.
This spring, I did exactly that...took out both lungs, heart and liver. That hog travelled a good 200 yards into the brush with no blood trail. Moderator Harry Humphries and good friend Hilton spent the better part of 2 hours in thick brush with me before we found it.
This summer, I witnessed a broadside hog shot from Mad Dog's 30.06 special loads literally blow the heart out of the far side of a hog leaving a cavity big enough to put a fist in. He, too, covered over 100 yards in a matter of seconds and it took us about 30 minutes to locate the little feller.
OTOH, Ashley Emerson tells us if a hog that he once took down, only to remove last year's .44 cal round from the neck on autopsy.

My limited experiences with hog are about like Riches. Read-- they die hard. I watched my dad hit a sow of about 200+ lbs behind the shoulder with a 165g Game King .30-06 at about 150 yards, and she only jumped and ran into the deepest, thickest, most tangled creek-bottem undergrowth you've ever seen. I went ahead and waited for her and her shotes to come down the creek. Only the shoats came out, so I eventually tagged an 80 lb-er for myself (tender and sweet; the best meat, I'm convinced!). Dad and our friend Doug never did find that big sow-- she made it too far. She was hit HARD, folks.
I've talked to many a person who's confirmed this to be very common. I know a guy who says his hog hunting got far more effective when he changed caliber to .22-250, because he then only tags them behind the ear. This, by the way, seems to be the best way to go, if you can make the shot; put your bullet just behind the ear, and they go straight down. Dad took a 250 lb hog 2 years ago with a .257 Rbts 100 grainer by doing just that. For a shote of less than 100 lbs, I found no trouble with a .30-30 shoulder shot.
We all know about the gristle plate, but the book is this-- Hog are tough, just generally. Heavy bones, low center of balance, hard, bristl-ey coat, and a "Never Give Up!" attitude means you better pack a lunch.
BTW, if it helps, here in TX, Parks and Wildlife puts out pamphlets on their extermination; they're considered quite the major pest to ranchers and farmers, and were not originally indiginous.
Sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you did what you could, in fair chase. What bullet, by the way? I hear great things about the Nosler Partition Gold 300 grainer.
Will you, too, be one who stands in the gap?

Hello fellows,
I hunt hogs alot. Here in west central Florida we have them by the bunches. Anyway, though I haven't lost one yet, (This due to the cartridge/projectile combination I use more than intrinsic skill...)I can speak about their incredibly tough constitution with some authority. I shot my biggest to date through his cheek and into his body. The 180gr Swift A-Frame smashed one half of his thorasic vertabrae for about 8 inches. In other words he was paralyzed on one side. Thinking he was dead, I laid my Weatherby 30/06 to one side, and walked over to him.
Fortunately I approached him from his rear, for when I got within tusking distance he lashed out with those 2.5" tusks. I had forgotten the classic African hunter's axiom: It's the dead ones that kill you. Anyway, to make along story short, I delivered a coup-de-gras with a 22. Gratefully I didn't end up with a new set of hard to explain ankle scars to show off.
So to loop back to the topic at hand: It sounds as if you did everything in a responsible manner; sometimes we do everything we can think of and we still come up empty handed. Feral hogs are tough as nails, they can absorb a substantial ammount of punishment and still dish out some themselves. My guess is that your shot went high passsing close to the spine, and temporarily stunning the nerves in the front half of the body. After the shock wore off the pig hi-tailed it to parts unknown. If it missed vitals, it probably recovered. Pigs are creatures of habit, keep an eye out from that stand and you just might bump into him again.
Good Luck,
PS Hogs are addictive! If this should happen to you, please grap your smokepole, pyrodex, and favorite projectile, and run to the nearest safe hunting area. Do not stop to talk to neighbors, this only increases your anxiety!

Bruins rally, beat Wings in overtime
By PAUL HARRIS
The Sports Xchange
Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand celebrates his game-winning goal in overtime with teammates during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. (Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports)
— Brad Marchand's goal 35 seconds into overtime gave the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday night.
Marchand also had an assist and Noel Acciari and David Pastrnak also scored for Boston, which won its third straight. Tuukka Rask stopped 31 shots.
Tomas Tatar and Dylan Larkin scored for Detroit, which has lost 10 of its last 11 (1-5-5). Jimmy Howard made 29 saves.
Marchand scored on a backhander off a breakaway as he fought off the check of Red Wings defenseman Mike Green. It was Marchand's 12th goal.
Pastrnak tied the game with 1:26 left with Rask pulled for the extra attacker. He put a one-timer into the open side of the net off a cross-ice pass from Marchand . It was Pastrnak's team-leading 15th goal.
Larkin's shorthanded goal with 8:26 left in the third period gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead. He took a pass from Darren Helm in the neutral zone, raced down the ice and put a backhand shot past Rask after a move. It was Larkin's fifth goal of the season. It came with Green in the penalty box for holding Pastrnak.
Acciari scored three minutes into the second period to tie the game 1-1.
He put one in from just under the right circle off a goal-mouth scramble. It was Acciari's second goal. He came back from an upper-body injury, which caused him to miss the Bruins previous game.
Tatar's power-play goal 9:15 into the second period gave Detroit a 1-0 lead. His wrist shot from the left circle beat Rask low on the far side with Justin Abdelkader providing a net-front presence. It was Tatar's ninth goal and came just 13 seconds after Boston's Patrice Bergeron went off for tripping Andreas Athanasiou.
Howard stopped Pastrnak on a breakaway with 9:28 left in the middle period.
The first period was scoreless. Detroit outshot Boston nine to two, but most of the shots were from the outside.
It was the first of back-to-back games for Boston. The Bruins host the Washington Capitals tonight. ... Detroit sent Tyler Bertuzzi to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. ... Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller missed the game due to the birth of his child. ... Red Wings assistant coach Doug Houda was formerly a Bruins assistant coach. ... Pastrnak played his 200th career game.

Jordan Reed missed the final six games of the 2013 season with a concussion and subsequent lingering symptoms from the trauma.
The Washington Redskins' 23-year-old tight end admitted to The SportsXchange that he believes he suffered a concussion before the one against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11 that ended his season -- but he didn't tell anybody.
"I think I had had a concussion two weeks before, but I didn't tell nobody so when I took a shot to the side of my head against the Eagles it made it worse," Reed said. "I was in a bad spot for a long time. I didn't know if they would ever go away, but I'm past it now."
That Reed's initial concussion went unnoticed and unreported by the player should be troubling for the Redskins -- even if it isn't a rarity among players.
It's a positive that Reed says the symptoms have subsided. The 6-foot-2, 243-pound tight end showed flashes of being a dynamic playmaker in the passing game during his nine-game stint.
However, Reed will have the concussion issue hanging over his head in 2014. He said last week that his latest concussion was "a fluke thing" and he didn't believe it was something he'd have to deal with throughout his career.
In reality, Reed's 2013 concussions were his third and fourth -- that we are aware of -- after he suffered two while in college at the University of Florida.
Reed's symptoms from his November concussion included headaches, nausea and an inability to sleep, per The Washington Times.
"I started to get a little scared after about two months -- like, 'Maybe I'm going to be like this forever,' or something like that," Reed said. "But it ended up going away."
The symptoms might have gone away, but, as we've seen with other NFL players, concussions can pile up and abruptly end a once-promising career. Let's hope Reed is right and his latest concussion is his last.

A Central Point man was sentenced to 12 years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to violently attacking two elderly family members in a home invasion robbery.
Brenton Allen Morrow, 25, pleaded guilty before Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Mark Schiveley to two Measure 11 counts of first-degree robbery and a single count each of first-degree burglary and felony elude.
Before issuing his sentence, Schiveley praised the victims, who are in their 70s, for putting up a "brave and valiant fight" to protect themselves against their grand nephew's harrowing attack. Schiveley is serving as a judge pro-tem after retiring from the bench in 2010.
"There seems to be something more happening here," Schiveley said, noting that the couple had been supportive of Morrow throughout his life, and inviting Morrow to address the court.
But even after an impassioned plea from the couple's daughter, who called on Morrow to "make the choice to heal all his broken parts," the defendant had little to say about why he attacked the Medford couple in the early morning hours of April 23.
"I'm sorry this happened," was all Morrow said.
Morrow wore a mask and brought a stun gun to the victims' Hillcrest Road residence, said Jackson County District Attorney Beth Heckert. At approximately 4 that morning, he pushed his way into the house when his great-aunt answered his knock. Then Morrow violently attacked the elderly woman, punching her repeatedly and delivering multiple shocks from the stun gun, Heckert said.
The woman suffered injuries to her face, torso, shoulder and knee and still suffers the effects, she said.
"It was horrible," Heckert said, describing the violence of the attack.
The woman's husband suffered serious head injuries, as well as 30 puncture marks from the stun gun attacks, when he attempted to rescue his wife, she said.
"(The husband's) ear had to be stitched back on by a plastic surgeon," Hecket said, adding he also suffered a "brain bleed" and had to spend several days in the intensive care unit.
During the battle, Morrow's great-aunt managed to call 911. Morrow knocked the phone from her hand. But dispatch operators remained on the line, she said.
Police arrived as Morrow was leaving with a small amount of cash. Morrow crashed his vehicle in the subsequent pursuit, and later told police he had committed the crimes because "he believed his girlfriend had been taken by the drug cartel and he needed money," Heckert said.
Sara Collins, Morrow's public defender, said her client had become addicted to heroin and methamphetamine following a series of knee surgeries. He had no prior convictions. Morrow has offered no reason for why he attacked his family members in this "horrific incident," she said, adding that Morrow was "in a drug-induced psychotic state" when he committed the crimes.
"There's probably always going to be questions," Collins said.
After the sentencing, Heckert said she had discussed the plea agreement with the victims. She said they felt the 12-year sentence was just.
"He really went there with the intent of attacking them," Heckert said. "His betrayal is a part of their pain."

Chip maker about to be bought?
A US analyst has expressed "increasing concerns" that AMD is heading toward a cash-flow crisis even a shareholders' ears prick to whispers that a private equity company is looking to buy a stake in the chip maker - or even the whole kit and kaboodle.
AMD's cash flow was questioned yesterday by American Technology Research analyst Doug Freeman, who told the firm's investor customers: "We were surprised to see AMD shares rally yesterday given what we believe to be increasing concerns about cash flow at the company... we think management will be forced to come to the capital markets for operating cash before the end of the summer."
AMD's shares yesterday opened at $14.83 and closed at the same price. During the day, the shares peaked at $15
The lift was due to the buyout rumour, Freeman said. "When we polled clients as to the reason behind the strength we were told that private equity rumors were circulating. While we do not doubt that private equity is sitting on cash it needs to put to work, we have a hard time seeing how it would get involved in AMD at the present valuation."
Freeman has AMD stock rated as 'sell'. His prognosis: "We advise investors to limit their exposure to AMD shares until cash is raised and new product benchmarks are made available."
AMD lost $166m in its 2006 fiscal year because it bought ATI. But it ended the year with $1.54bn in cash, down from $1.8bn at the end of FY2005. That's less than AMD's Q4 FY2006 revenue - $1.77bn, down from $1.83bn in the year-ago quarter.

Family farewells Meagher at private funeral
ABC staffer Jill Meagher has been remembered as a fun-loving, generous and stylish woman at her funeral in Melbourne.
The 29-year-old was killed almost two weeks ago after disappearing on the way home from a night out with her colleagues in Brunswick.
Ms Meagher's father George McKeon read from a card he and his wife sent their daughter when she was 22, in which they wrote about how they missed her laughter, energy and smile.
He told the congregation the message was important.
"It's hard to be apart from you. So many of my thoughts are of you. Each night when the world is quiet and still, your smile and the wonderful moments we have shared crowd my mind. Then I find myself missing you even more," he said.
"Each day as I go about my routine, you slip gently into my thoughts and make me smile. I wonder what you are doing, trust that everything is going well and hope that you miss me too."
Jill Meagher's mother Edith McKeon said her daughter was a high-achiever with great empathy.
"She was a determined person who achieved everything she put her mind to, but she was a messy creature and was as clumsy as hell, but she had style.
"She loved to party, enjoyed and shared the craic. She was so precious to us and we loved her so much. The light she brought to our lives almost 30 years ago will shine on us forever. Smile when you think of her."
Ms Meagher's husband Tom says she was never happier than when she made people laugh.
"I couldn't have asked for more loyalty, happiness, commitment, love and most importantly fun from my Jill. Goodbye my beautiful, funny girl, I will love you forever," he said.
Another mourner described her as strong, intelligent, beautiful and quirky, with a goofy sense of humour.
"Jill is the funniest person I've ever met. We just laughed all the time. She is the only person I have ever encountered who has actually slipped on a banana skin. And she was proud of it," she said.
"She had this amazing ability to laugh at herself and I really admired that about her."
White ribbon wristbands were given to mourners to symbolise the fight to prevent violence against women and 29 white doves were released at the end of service.
Grief and anger
Jill Meagher's body was found in a shallow grave at Gisborne South, north-west of the city.
A man has been charged with her rape and murder.
Her death led to an outpouring of public grief and anger.
Last Sunday about 30,000 people marched peacefully along Sydney Road in Brunswick in her memory.
The funeral at Fawkner cemetery was not open to the public and her family asked for privacy.
Yesterday, Ms Meagher's family thanked the public for their support, condolences and concern.
"We understand your interest and that many of you are grieving with us, however we also request that you allow us, our family and Jill's friends, time to grieve the loss of our beautiful wife, daughter and friend in privacy at this highly emotional time," the family said in a written statement.
"We cannot begin to convey the overwhelming feelings of grief, sadness and sorrow at the loss of our beloved Jill."

Out of the Closet Intelligence
I am still pleasantly surprised that the title of this show "Intelligent Switches Come out of the Closet" has not been yanked by our censors. The show is a good one of course, and double entendre aside, this notion of moving out of the switching closet and putting switch resources right at a critical point of entry is exactly what we are talking about. This is another of our three shows taped at CiscoLive in London, the Borderless team released a new line of 'compact switches' purpose-built for a very unique environment.
You can watch the full show by clicking here (this link will take you into our virtual environment which does require registration the first time you go…nice thing is you only have to do this once and you can poke around to see the rest of our content).
Lets review a bit about the content
One thing that made this show fun to capture was our challenge around how to integrate our Borderless Host Sylvia into our show despite the fact that she would not be with us. Well, it first started with her handling the top of show 'message' and she did that back in Studio prior to the trip – she and John Hanahan recorded a very nice overview of the announcement.
Some links for your reading pleasure:

- • Cisco.com – LAN Switches, Compact
- • Data Sheet
- • Product Bulletin
- • At a Glance (.pdf)
- • At a Glance – Retail (.pdf)
We wanted to incorporate Sylvia deeper into the show however than a simple segment only so we had the idea of a storyline where she, as our mother hen, was constantly checking in on us via remote video on my iPhone…catching us a bit distracted perhaps and re-directing us to a new part of the story. We taped those in advance and then while on site, we created the little mini-context throughout…you will see these between almost every segment. I really like the way they turned out.
Bottom line, hope you enjoy the show – feel free to leave your comments and question below. Here is the overview of the rest of the show in case you want to jump ahead or just re-live a few favorite moments!

Scott Hodgdon helped us with a viewer mail question we used as an excuse to jump into the quad-sup vss on the 6500. This is a good technical overview of some failover capabilities they were showcasing – Scott's a great engineer for this and we were fortunate to get him.

The bone-chilling cold is what Wayne Gretzky remembers most of growing up in the frozen outdoors. He wouldn't be "The Great One" for many, many years. At the time, he was just another bundled-up youngster playing hockey with his friends in Brantford, Ontario.
"Your fingertips, your ears, your ear lobes and your toes," Gretzky said the other day, laughing at the memory of those long-ago winter days and nights. "While you're out there, you don't really know it, but we're all the same when we're 7 years old.
"You start to thaw and you've got your hands over the fireplace and your dad is rubbing your feet and you have tears in your eyes, those are the things you never forget about playing outside. Because the next morning you go out and do the same thing again."
No one remembers the scores, because nobody bothered to keep score. They weren't regulation games, anyway. There were no referees, no icing or offside calls. Pond hockey had its own set of rules, even if the pond was a driveway or a schoolyard rink or a creek in the woods.
The memories of past and present players are remarkably similar, whether they grew up in Europe or Canada or the United States. What stands out over the years were the freezing conditions, the friends and the simple joy of playing hockey in the outdoors.
"There was no limit," said Gretzky, who turns 53 on Sunday. "You love it, you go and do it. Some of these kids on the prairies, in Manitoba and Alberta, my goodness, it would be 50 below zero and they're out there skating."
Temperatures for tonight's game between the Ducks and the Kings at Dodger Stadium won't be anywhere near that frosty. New memories will be created, to be sure, but nothing that happens tonight will erase what the players and coaches remember from the carefree days of their youth.
Ryan Getzlaf, Ducks center Regina, Saskatchewan
"I remember we didn't have Zambonis on the rinks like they did in some places, so you spent most of the time shoveling before you could actually get on and skate. Most of our schools had rinks in their playgrounds somewhere. We brought shovels with us, that's for sure. You brought your sticks and your shovels. That's kind of the way you started your day. We were mostly the same age, and Saskatchewan had a lot of snow when I was a kid, so the sooner you got going the sooner you got done. Everyone pitched in. We brought nets. My dad made us steel nets, so we had pretty high quality nets. Some days it was too cold to play. Nowadays, you wouldn't catch me out there. I've gone soft."
Darryl Sutter, Kings coach Viking, Alberta
"We were eight miles from town. We were seven boys. We didn't need a whole lot of people to come to play. It's a slough. What you call a pond. It just froze over until the beaver and muskrat burrowed it out in the spring. It was good as you want. Big as you want. Depending how much snow you wanted to push. They weren't really games. You went and skated and went out and floated around. Depending on how many pucks you had. We didn't have nets. We had boots. You'd take your boots off. Skates and mittens and sticks, that's it. I don't even know about games. I just have vivid memories. The only time you skated indoors was Saturdays. Everything else was outside on the farm."
Bruce Boudreau, Ducks coach Toronto
"Memories get better with time. At the time, when you're 6 years old and you're skating on an outdoor rink, I don't think you're really enjoying it that much. We practiced regularly on an outdoor rink and it was 1961. So, the skates were just leather and if they got wet, your feet were frozen stiff and you had to get by the radiator. You had to put your feet on the radiator and the dads would be rubbing the feet to get the circulation back in there. You sit back now, and that was fun. Then, it was, 'Holy Christ, my feet are falling off.' Also, growing up in Toronto, there were so many parks and every park had an outdoor rink. If you didn't go to school, we were on there 12 hours a day."
Jonathan Quick, Kings goaltender Hamden, Conn.
"We used to play in the street a lot, but there was Johnson's Pond back home. We'd go there in the wintertime and play a lot of pond hockey. I grew up in Hamden. I don't know why it says Milford (in the media guide). I never lived in Milford. The only time I played goal was with an organized team. Street hockey, road hockey, pond hockey, I always played forward. You can only take so many pucks. It was fun. I was fortunate as a kid. I grew up on a street with a lot of kids my age, or within a few years. We'd always head down there and play some pond hockey until it got dark. We'd ride our bikes. Or we'd get a ride. If it was really cold, we'd get a ride. It was a couple of miles away."
Teemu Selanne, Ducks right wing Helsinki, Finland
"Where I lived, it was a half-mile to school and a half-mile to the rink. We had our skates in our backpacks every day in school. After school, we would play from 2 until 5, and I would still have a practice later. So, it was just a lifestyle. Passion. It's sad people have no chance to do that here. The stick time for the kids here, there's so much less ice time. It's kind of sad because that's how you get better. The teams practice, and it's more like team stuff. All the individual stuff is not there. There's nothing like the outdoors. My kids, when I went back for the first game in Winnipeg, they skated 12 hours a day outdoors. Even at midnight, they didn't want to come off. That's hockey."
Jake Muzzin, Kings defenseman Woodstock, Ontario
"My buddy's dad always made a pond for the whole subdivision and all the kids would go there and play all night. Actually, we went there on Christmas break. We went back and played a little bit. A bunch of my buddies, we got together and played one afternoon. It was Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) for a couple of hours. It was pretty fun. We brought a couple of beverages and played out there and it was fun. It was just fun (when we were kids). Lots of injuries. Pucks in the shins. Falling down and getting sore elbows. You always think it's cold, so you don't need a water, right? You're skating and it's fun and you get so thirsty and you have nothing to drink and that's the worst."
Ben Lovejoy, Ducks defenseman Concord, N.H.
"From when I was 18 months old until third grade, I lived on Buzzards Bay, in Marion, Mass. We used to skate on cranberry bogs. They would freeze in the winter and you could skate. It was very black ice. It was shallow so it was rock hard and there were all these little passages where you could go through on cranberry bogs. I vividly remember we used to have to paint the pucks a different color because the ice was so black. That was my favorite outdoor skating memory. My family moved to New Hampshire. My parents worked at private schools. The one my folks worked at when we moved to New Hampshire had its own rink, so I was able to skate there and I was able to move back indoors."
Jordan Nolan, Kings forward St. Catharines, Ontario
"When I was a kid growing up in northern Ontario, my dad (Ted, now coach of the Buffalo Sabres) would build a rink for me and my brother. We were out there quite a bit. When I was younger, I took a puck in the face and it almost took my nose off. I was about 4 years old, so I wasn't all that excited to get outside and play again. When we lived in St. Catharines, my buddy had a nice outdoor rink and he always invited our group and we were playing every day it seemed like. We had a lot of fun out there. It was definitely chilly out there. The wind would come up and it would get pretty brutal out there. We had a little shack we could get in and get a little heat once in a while."
Corey Perry, Ducks right wing Peterborough, Ontario
"When I was young, my dad built a rink in the backyard with boards and some wire cage around the top, so we didn't hit the house. Those are my first memories as a kid growing up. When you get older, you get moving around a bit. You just go around to the outdoor rinks at the parks and grab your friends after school and away you go. When I moved to London for Junior, I guess is when I stopped. I was 15 or 16. It's one of those things when you're a kid you just go out and do it and you just have fun. Everybody was always out there until somebody's mom rang the bell or blew the whistle or whatever they did to call the kids for dinner. That's how we got off the ice."
Trevor Lewis, Kings forward Salt Lake City
"Actually, I lived right across the street from an ice rink, so I was pretty much inside all the time. It was 30 steps from my front door to the ice rink. It was big for me growing up because I could go over whenever I wanted. I had a bunch of kids I went to school with that I played with and then every time my dad would come home from work, he'd take me. In the summer, we played street hockey in big parking lots. It was a lot of fun. Me and one buddy, we'd pretend we were different people. Wayne Gretzky or whoever. One of us would be a goalie and the other would be the skater. It was a lot of fun. Usually, we'd play with roller blades, but sometimes just in sneakers."
Mathieu Perreault, Ducks center Drummondville, Quebec
"Being from Canada, that's all kids do. There was one rink right next to the school I went to when I was young. When we'd have a day off from school, we'd go all day. Go back in the afternoon. Go home for dinner, then go back again. It's probably the reason I got my skills and my skating ability. That's all we do back home. It's so cold. A lot of kids would build ice rinks outside. I played (for Washington) in the one in Pittsburgh (Jan. 1, 2011). It rained the whole third period. The ice got really bad at the end. Actually, sometimes you had to remember it's still two points. It's almost like a fun game and you forget sometimes how important the game is. It's so fun to get out there and enjoy it."

New contract for state workers includes raisesStaff Report
October 29. 2013 10:55PM
CONCORD — The State Employees' Association's bargaining Senate has voted to recommend that the full SEA membership approve a new contract with the state, according to a release from Gov. Maggie Hassan.
"Throughout the recession, New Hampshire's dedicated and hard-working state employees pitched in by giving up pay raises, paying more for their health care and doing more with less as the state workforce dropped by 1,100 positions," Hassan said Tuesday night in a statement. "This is a fair agreement for both employees and taxpayers that will provide the first cost-of-living raises for employees in five years and provide important health care savings to the state."
The contract will provide the first cost-of-living pay increases in five years and help reduce the state's projected growth in health care costs, with employees receiving benefits if the state's health care costs come in under projections.
In return, employees are agreeing to take a more active role in managing their health care costs, Hassan's release said. The state will switch to a site-of-service plan, where certain services employees will have the option to go to select providers or pay a deductible. In exchange for working to improve their own health through activities such as taking a health assessment test, getting a physical, receiving a flu shot or having their blood pressure checked, employees can earn up to $500 a year through a health reimbursement account and a wellness reimbursement program, the statement said.
"In the end, after five years without a raise, I think we have arrived at a proposal that is fair and will allow the state employees to continue to provide critical services for NH residents, while supporting their own families, too," SEA President Diana Lacey said in a statement.
Under the agreement, members of the SEA will receive a one-time payment of $300 and a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase for the remainder of fiscal year 2014. They will receive a 2.25 percent raise in July 2014 and a 2.25 percent raise in January 2015.
Hassan said projected savings reached from changes in the new contract "will be shared with all state employees" in the form of a $300 check in January 2014 and a $300 check in January 2015.
The agreement is subject to ratification by a vote of SEA membership.

Liverpool accept Norwich City bid for winger Sergi Canos
- From the section Norwich
Norwich City have had a £2.5m bid accepted by Liverpool for winger Sergi Canos, reports BBC Radio Norfolk.
The 19-year-old former Barcelona youth player spent last season on loan in the Championship with Brentford, where he scored seven goals in 39 appearances.
The Spain Under-19 international, who joined Liverpool in 2013, made his first-team debut on the final day of the 2015-16 Premier League season.
He could come in following Nathan Redmond's departure to Southampton.
England Under-21 international Redmond moved back to the Premier League for a fee believed to be in the region of £10m in June following the Canaries' relegation to the Championship.
Canos would become Norwich's first signing of the summer if the deal goes through.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After finishing 1-2 on its first Ohio Valley Conference road trip, the Tennessee Tech softball team will look to get back on track at home as it welcomes in the Colonels of Eastern Kentucky.
Tech (12-10, 3-3 OVC) will look to build upon the success it has had against EKU over the years as it has built a 46-27 record against the Colonels since 1993. Both teams last met in the 2009 season when the Golden Eagles won a pair of victories by the scores of 13-1 and 4-3.
The Colonels own a 16-9 record and are 3-3 in OVC play including a three-game sweep of the Austin Peay Lady Govs this past weekend. EKU has thrived on the road as it has a perfect 7-0 record in away games.
Both the Golden Eagles and the Colonels, along with Morehead State, are tied for fifth place in the OVC standings with a 3-3 conference record. Jacksonville State and UT Martin sit atop the standings with a 6-0 mark and are followed by the 3-0 Eastern Illinois Panthers and the 4-2 Southeast Missouri Redhawks.
The opening pitch for the first game is slated for 3 p.m., with the second game scheduled to follow at 5 p.m.

CLEVELAND (AP) Cavaliers rookie center Tyler Zeller has returned after missing four games with a fractured left orbital bone and a concussion.
Zeller, who is averaging 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounds, entered Saturday night's game against Dallas with 5:54 remaining in the first quarter. He was wearing a mask to protect the broken bone.
Zeller was elbowed in the face by Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan on Nov. 5. He scored a career-high 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds against the Clippers before he was injured.
Zeller was selected by the Mavericks with the 17th pick in the first round and then traded to the Cavaliers on draft night. He played college ball at North Carolina.

VALPARAISO � Mayor Bruce Arnold is sounding the warning bell about a plan that would allow more F-35 jets to fly over his city.
VALPARAISO � Mayor Bruce Arnold is sounding the warning bell about a plan that would allow more F-35 jets to fly over his city.
Late last month, Arnold, who is concerned about the effects of noise from the jets, sent a letter to residents and property owners. He asked them to attend the Air Force�s meeting Tuesday night to suggest an alternative that he says would have less impacts on the city.
�I can�t impress upon you the importance of your participation in this scheduled hearing,� Arnold said in the letter. �It�s your city and your property values and your way of life that will suffer if the Air Force accepts the proposed (plan).�
The plan was released as part of a report analyzing the environmental impacts of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program at Eglin.
The F-35 training program is ground zero for training pilots and maintainers from all branches of military service and from partner nations to operate the newest fighter jet.
Flying operations began in 2012, but with some restrictions, including limits to flights on the runway that sends traffic over Valparaiso.
The final draft of the environmental impact statement provides six alternatives to allow for ramping up flights at Eglin as more students go through the program. The Air Force�s recommended plan � the only one that does not require additional construction � is to lift the restrictions on the Valparaiso runway.
That could mean an additional 180 homes in Valparaiso could be exposed to sound levels higher than 75 decibels, according to the report.
Arnold says that would make 20 percent of his city unsuitable for living, unless residents undergo costly improvements to soundproof their homes.
He also says it would reduce property values on the homes. He is concerned that it could eventually destroy the city, forcing residents out and bankrupting the city�s coffers.
In Arnold�s letter, he asked residents and property owners to suggest the Air Force adopt one of two alternative plans: construction of a new runway and control tower on Eglin with a taxiway over State Road 85, or building a new runway and control tower at nearby Duke Field.
Residents and property owners in Valparaiso have expressed concerns for years about the impacts noise from the jets would have on their community.
Mike Spaits, environmental spokesman for Eglin, said the number of homes that could be potentially affected by noise from the F-35 is about 500 more than when F-15 fighter jets were stationed at Eglin.
Considering the breadth of the F-35 program, that�s a relatively small number, he said.
He emphasized that while the Air Force has recommended the plan for lifting the restrictions on the existing runway, it has not yet been submitted for final approval.
All comments will be logged and included with the report when it goes to Air Force leaders for review.
�I hope we have a large crowd that comments,� Arnold said. �I�m certainly going to.�
Comments can be given in person at the meeting Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church at 444 Valparaiso Parkway.
They can also be submitted through July 29 to Mike Spaits, Eglin Air Force Base Public Affairs Office, 101 West D Ave., Suite 235, Eglin Air Force Base, FL 32542, by phone at 882-2836 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The report is available on this page in electronic form. Hard copies are available for review in local libraries.
If you go:
The Air Force will accept public comments on the F-35 plan at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the First Baptist Church at 444 Valparaiso Parkway.

Yes, you'll start eating right and hit the gym more in 2011, but what about your love life? We asked eight people who spend their days thinking about other people's romances to suggest the relationship resolutions they'd like to see people make for the new year.
Patti Stanger, star of Bravo TV's "Millionaire Matchmaker" reality show
"My relationship resolution for 2011 would be for daters to stay in the moment! Don't look back at what you've done wrong. Don't think ahead – as in, Is this person the one? Just enjoy the moment and enjoy the person you're with."
Carolyn Hax, Washington Post advice columnist
"Start choosing not to take things personally. When someone says something that's a little off, or doesn't return a call, or forgets something you said, resist the impulse to take offense. Instead, consider that there's an explanation that doesn't involve you at all. Even if it ultimately was a personal slight, waiting for more information allows you to act, versus react – and often gives you time to put the 'offense' into perspective."
Toni Coleman, dating coach
"Resolve to work on your emotional intelligence in order to improve your chances for finding healthy and satisfying love. This involves developing a greater awareness of what you are communicating both verbally and nonverbally to others, as well as learning to accurately read the messages that others are sending to you."
Dr. Ruth Westheimer, sex therapist
"People who are not in a relationship need to resolve not to give up hope. And to go out and tell all their friends that they are looking and make themselves available to meeting new people. Those in a relationship should celebrate. But they also shouldn't take anything for granted, and they should resolve not to criticize one another. If there is something about the relationship that needs improving, they need to discuss it. But they have to make sure the timing is right. ... If you bring it up impulsively, you might end up doing more harm than good."
Audrey Chapman, host of "The Audrey Chapman Show" on WHUR (96.3 FM)
"Try not to think of love as something that is measured in doses. Love is not a medicine for all your emotional ills. And learn to ask directly for what you want in a relationship. Keep in mind that your partner is not your parent. They can only provide what they are capable of giving, based on who they are and where they are in life."
Terri Orbuch, author of "5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage From Good to Great"
"Don't focus on the negative. The most effective way to boost happiness in a basically good relationship is to focus and strengthen what is already working. That positive energy makes you feel good and motivates you to keep going in the same direction. Optimism and a positive outlook also attract others to you. And stop buying into relationship myths. Learn the realities of relationships. The biggest reason couples split up isn't sex, conflict or lack of communication – instead, it's frustration. Specifically, frustration from unrealistic expectations about love, the opposite sex and relationships."
Keith Miller, couples counselor
"I'd like to see people get a grip on themselves! I watch too many couples fight, disconnect and break up because our brains are instinctively wired to protect against hurt. It takes courage in the face of potential hurt to challenge the assumptions you make about your partner or the world, but when you start down this path, you create possibilities where there may have been none."
Deborah Y. Luxenberg, divorce lawyer with Luxenberg, Johnson & Dickens
"To be honest with each other. About everything – including money. We see so many people who are hiding things from their partner, and that is always the downfall of the relationship, because nothing erodes trust faster."

The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) has launched the PharmFree campaign which encourages doctors and med students to distance themselves from drug companies and their representatives by refusing gifts, support and promotional materials. In this way, so they claim, they intend to change the culture of medicine toward higher ethical standards, increased professionalism and evidence based medicine. I would applaud such lofty goals, but there's a problem. The AMSA's promotion of pseudoscience and unproven health methods belies its stated ideals and one has to wonder what the true agenda of the PharmFree campaign is. I recently posted an overview of this hypocrisy and today will focus on chelation therapy, just one of the questionable health claims promoted by AMSA.
Though chelation's proponents claim its effectiveness against cardiovascular disease and a variety of other disorders there is no supporting evidence or rationale except for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning. The American College of Cardiology's position statement recommends against chelation therapy for cardiovascular disease. The Federal Trade Commission charged one group with false advertising for its claims that chelation therapy was effective in treating atherosclerosis. Although a large scale NIH sponsored study of chelation is in progress, researchers have for decades been unable to demonstrate clinical effectiveness or physiologic rationale. The most recently published evidence regarding chelation therapy is a systematic review which failed to find evidence of effectiveness.
Chelation is promoted on page 20 of AMSA's Complementary Therapies Primer. This is not a balanced critical view of the treatment. The second paragraph makes the baseless claim that it improves blood flow and is helpful in the treatment of gangrene and intermittent claudications. The article also claims chelation is helpful for memory loss, arthritis, scleroderma and lupus. It goes on to say that oral chelation with either EDTA or penicillamine is useful as a "preventative measure" and lowers cholesterol.
This is patently absurd and destroys the credibility of the PharmFree campaign. It is also irresponsible. The AMSA needs to do some housecleaning of its own before pointing fingers at doctors for associating with the pharmaceutical companies.

You have to hope that the views of the "thought leaders" of the organization do not represent what most med students think.
from what appears from their stated goals (from their webpage)it is a mini ACLU.Less of medicine more of "civil rights" ,most of their representatives are woman ( not to say that is bad),a high octane sibboleth about gay transgender rights, alternative therapies, ethical musings and and left leaning ideas of social justice universal health care ( may be its inevitable) where does medicine fits in ,the way majority of the physicians practice it. Seems like they are all brainwashed
Chelation works. Go back and retake MS1 Biochemistry.

The young woman in the eye doctor�s waiting room looked up from the magazine she was reading. We were there with freshly dilated pupils awaiting inspection by the ophthalmologist. I could barely see the magazine�s cover through the tissue I was daubing at the sting in my eyes, but it looked to be titled �Apetit.�
Abruptly, she put down what she was reading, then turned to an older lady sitting next to her. �Isn�t it remarkable,� she said, �what a wonderful job the new young chefs are doing these days?�
The second woman said only, �Oh?�
�Yes,� said the first, �my husband and I dined at the new place in town last night, and it was truly an experience. The restaurant had its own greenhouse garden inside where you could pick the veggies you wished to have on your plate. The room was furnished with unmatched antique chairs that must have weighed 200 pounds each. A single red rose sat decorously in a silver vase at the center of the table.
�There were no menus. Our servers � we had five, one for each course and all wearing tuxedos and tails � whispered the options delicately in our ears. To aid us in selecting the perfect wines to enjoy with our dinners, they carried iPads, into which they entered our entr�e choices and received recommendations in real time from a sommelier in Paris.
�It was a five-course dinner, starting with what they called an �appeteaser.� Get it? An appetite teaser. It consisted of an ice cube served on a child�s tea-party saucer. The cube was encrusted with a crumbled gluten-free cracker.�
�Sounds delightful,� the older woman responded. Was it sarcasm? I couldn�t really tell.
�Indeed,� the diner went on, �and the second course was a small rutabaga we had harvested ourselves, served on a bed of organic soil. Earthy and delicious, the soil added an original and genuine texture element to our grand repast.�
�And good for you too, I�m sure,� the older woman said. �My mother always told us we had to eat a certain amount of dirt before we die.� Again, I sensed a note of sarcasm, but only because of the twinkle in one of her dilated pupils.
Ignoring that, the diner resumed her rhapsody. �The third course,� she gushed, �was a refresher for our willing palates � three tiny pea pods, fresh and bitey, in a thimbleful of champagne.
�Our fourth course was a tour de force,� the younger woman told us. By now, everybody was tuned in to her story. �I chose the catch of the day, which turned out to be a mussel and anchovy together in a garlic confit. My husband chose a 2-ounce filet mignon, a signature dish of the house.
�Though we were stuffed, we decided to go all the way and try one of the delectable desserts. Both of us had the shortcakeless strawberry, using the two we had picked in the greenhouse. The perfect ending to a perfect evening.�
None of the foregoing really happened, of course. But it could, the way things are going in the fine-dining world.
What happened was that everybody in the waiting room kept silent the whole time we waited for a final exam by the doctor. Some tried to read, some looked out the window and daubed at their eyes, and one, the older lady, dropped off to sleep � possibly dreaming of pretentious chefs and their magnificent creations.
