National Signing Day 2012: Rutgers' recruits

Rutgers faced uncertainty over its highly touted recruiting class after the abrupt departure of Greg Schiano as head football coach last week. The school announced Tuesday that longtime assistant coach Kyle Flood has been named Schiano's successor.

The following players are expected to sign binding letters of intent with the Knights on Wednesday — though there will likely be more late additions and deletions than usual because of the coaching change.

NHL version of The Bachelor

After a short break to celebrate the NHL all-star weekend in Ottawa, the puck drops for real again this week ... and if you ask me it couldn't come soon enough.

The regular season needs to resume for no other reason than to remind the legions of hockey fans that watching meaningful games is the only true reality show, and everything else is fluff. Watching the NHL all-star show is now no different than watching an episode of Survivor or The Bachelor. But that's me, I'm old school. Now my intention in writing this piece is not to rip the all-star game, as it has seen enough detractors of late, and to be honest: been there and done that. Besides I shouldn't comment on how bad the game is unless I come up with a better solution, and I wouldn't know where to begin on that. Truth is the current all-star game is so far removed from anything that even remotely resembles real hockey that I believe Steven Spielberg couldn't save it.

Japanese Market Up Marginally

News and Comments from Japanese TV Channel: Comments,

(RTTNews.com) - The Japanese stock market opened lower on Wednesday following a weak lead from Wall Street and on the yen's surge against the euro. A few weak earnings forecasts too contributed to the market's weak start.

However, with investors indulging in some buying at lower levels, the market regained some lost ground and is currently trading marginally up in positive territory.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index, which declined to 8,780 in early trades but rose to 8,826 subsequently, is currently trading at 8,802, up 2.2 points over its previous close.
Sumitomo Heavy Industries, the most prominent loser among Nikkei stocks, is down more than 9.5 percent. Ricoh is down by over 6 percent on weak earnings outlook. Toto, Shinsei Bank, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Sharp Corp, Casio Computer, Advantest Corp and Nissan Chemical Industries are trading lower by 2 to 4.5 percent.

JFE Holdings, Sony Corp, Tokyo Electric Power, Olympus Corp, Pacific Metals, Marui Group, Japan Steel Work and Fast Retailing are among the other notable losers.
All Nippon Airways is gaining nearly 4.5 percent. Mitsui OSK Lines, Konica Minolta, NTT Data Corp, Mitsubishi Paper, Chiyoda, Denso Corp, Mitsubishi Motor, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, Nippon Yusen and Kawasaki Kisen are up 2 to 3 percent.
Sumitomo Realty, Dai-ichi Life, Yokohama Rubber, Mazda Motor, Nisshin Steel, Fuji Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Estate, Hino Motors, Aozora Bank, Oki Electric and Kansai Electric Power are also up with strong gains.

In the currency market, the U.S. dollar traded in the lower 76 yen range in early deals in Tokyo. The yen is currently trading at 76.18 to the dollar. The yen strengthened to 99 against the euro.
Among other markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore are down marginally, while Shanghai, South Korea and Taiwan are trading in positive territory. The Hong Kong market is trading flat. Markets across the region moved mostly higher on Tuesday.
On Wall Street, stocks turned in a lackluster performance on Tuesday despite showing some early strength. The choppy trading came as investors weighed optimism about the financial situation in Europe against a disappointing batch of U.S. economic data.
The major averages ended the session mixed, although they were all nearly unchanged on the day. While the tech-heavy Nasdaq inched up 1.9 points or 0.1 percent to 2,813.8, the Dow ended down 20.8 points 0.2 percent at 12,632.9 and the S&P 500 edged down 0.6 points or 0.1 percent to 1,312.4.
Major European markets surged higher on Tuesday. While the French CAC 40 index advanced by 1 percent, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index and the German DAX index both inched up by 0.2 percent.
U.S. crude oil futures ended lower on Tuesday on some weak U.S. economic data and a strengthening dollar. Prices were also impacted by concerns about talks between Greece and its private creditors, despite Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos' indication of 'significant progress' in the negotiations.
Crude oil for March delivery dipped $0.30 or 0.3 percent to settle at $98.48 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after touching a high of $101.29 during the session.

Muridae Market | Sandtail Sentinel Entring

Although you need to be a Baron(ess) to travel to the Fiery Warpath, you can complete all the preliminaries beforehand.
  1. Preliminaries: First, you must prove yourself ready to be called up to the battle by completing two preliminary tasks. You may complete these tasks in either order:
    • Catch the Silth (arm HB/DDA with Magma/SBB and Wicked Gnarly)
    • Catch the Technic and Mystic Kings
  2. Collect a Sandtail Call to Arms
1. Preliminaries
Catching The Silth
The big question that I get asked is whether to arm the HeatBath (HB) or Double Diamond Adventure (DDA). We do not have a large enough unbiased set of data (I'll talk about bias in data collection in another post) to give a definitive answer based on statistical analysis. Models such as the Furoma model, while useful, are always least reliable in answering questions at the extremes, especially when the differences in outcome are quite small.

2.Collecting the Sandtail Call to Arms
 
The Sandtail call to arms is dropped by specific mice in the seasonal garden. You must have caught your Silth and one each of both Kings in ZT before the mice with drop the Sandtail call to arms. Note that the setup advice is all first-order guesswork and is guaranteed to be at least somewhat wrong!

"I train six days a week for around four to six hours a day. So the gym is like a second home to me," said Chua, whose foundation is in Muay Thai.

Shahrukh Khan versus Shirish Kunder - a bitter history


Before erupting into blows at the Agneepath celebration party on Sunday night, the animosity between Shahrukh Khan and Shrish Kunder had been simmering for long. Here’s the bitter history.




The fight between Shahrukh Khan and Shirish Kunder at a Juhu nightclub has left the film industry shocked. According to Kunder, Shahrukh cornered him along with his bodyguards and beat him up without any provocation. Kunder alleges that Shahrukh pulled his hair, punched and slapped him. How much truth is there Kunder’s allegation is still to be known, but there is no doubt that a fight between the two did take place at the party hosted by Sanjay Dutt.

Could the spat have been avoided? Shouldn’t the matters been resolved verbally? Here’s how things between Shahrukh and Shirish have been hotting up lately.

Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan were thick as thieves for fourteen years and she made her directing debut in his production Main Hoon Na and followed it up with Om Shanti Om. But things soured between the two when Farah Khan, apparently prodded by her husband Shirish Kunder, roped in Akshay Kumar and not her favourite Shahrukh Khan for her movie Tees Maar Khan. That apparently sowed the seed of animosity between Shahrukh and Shirish.

Thereafter, Shahrukh and Farah ceased to be on talking terms, let alone meet each other. To rile Shahrukh further, Shirish Kunder became close to the Salman Khan camp. The rift was thus consummated, even though Shahrukh Khan did try to extend an olive branch to Farah Khan on two occasions.

But what ticked off Shahrukh was when Shirish Kunder panned his movie Ra.One on the release day itself.

“I just heard a Rs150 crore firework fizzle” Shirish Kunder had written about ‘Ra.One’ on his Twitter page, with a mocking addition “Ironically #StepsToSurviveAHorrorMovie is trending today!”

To rub salt to the wound, Shirish had added: “Bodyguard is trending...everything else is pending”.

Obviously, Shahrukh Khan wouldn’t have liked his dream project Ra.One being mocked this way, that too by a person he didn’t adore.

Buzz is that there has been rancour in the Shahrukh Khan camp against Shirish Kunder’s jibes at Ra.One. And presumably it all erupted on Sunday night at Sanjay Dutt’s party when Kunder apparently provoked Shahrukh Khan again. The result was Shirish Kunder walking out with a swollen face.

Allen West to Obama, Pelosi and Reid: Florida ain’t on the table, get the hell out of America

WEST PALM BEACH — Lost in Herman Cain’s surprise endorsement of Newt Gingrich Saturday night at the Kravis Center was a rousing speech by Rep. Allen West, who received a bigger applause and ovation than either Gingrich or Cain.



West gave a 10 minute speech at the Lincoln Day Dinner, telling a very approving audience that, “We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my dear friend the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (Debbie Wasserman Schultz), let them know Florida ain’t on the table.”

West then told his rivals to, “Take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”

West was already expected to have a tough reelection campaign, but could find himself in an even more Democratic district because of redistricting. West challenged his rival party.

“This is not about 1 percent or 99 percent. This is about 100 percent,” West said. “This is about 100 percent of America, and I will not stand back and watch anyone defame, degrade or destroy that which my father fought for, my older brother, my father-in-law, my nephew and all my friends in uniform. I will not allow President Obama to take the United States of America and destroy it.

“If that means I’m the No. 1 target for the Democratic party, all I have to say is one thing: Bring it on.”

'Luck' series premiere recap: Agony and ecstacy at Santa Anita


Comments: | New Comments

Thoroughbred racing likes to call itself the Sport of Kings. And for many casual fans who tune in to watch the ponies on television two or three times a year, the track might still seem like a glamorous place, a showcase of beautiful women in ostentatious hats, gardens of gorgeous flowers, and the sheer athletic magnificence of powerful animals bred solely to run a mile and a half (or so) as fast as possible. But not every day is Derby day, and when the millionaire dilettante owners go home and the network trucks pack up their cameras, what we have left is Luck, HBO’s new show about the murky tales that take place in the stables, on the backstretch at dawn, and in the minds of hopeless gamblers. Sports journalist Dick Schaap once described the unique allure of horse racing as “the scent of larceny,” and last night’s pilot was thick with it.
Things are looking up for Chester Bernstein, A.K.A. Ace (Dustin Hoffman) when we first meet him. He’s getting out of jail, but he doesn’t seem too excited by his change in address. Instead, he seems agitated, jumpy, and when he’s picked up by his driver, Gus (Dennis Farina), he’s mostly quiet until he finally asks Gus to get him a tape recorder. Why would a guy named Ace just out of prison want a tape recorder?
Turns out Gus might be the richest chauffeur in California. He won a slot machine jackpot in Vegas when Ace was in the clink, and plunked down $2 million to buy a first-class thoroughbred. How ‘bout that?
Early in the morning, the racetrack at Santa Anita is already alive with action. Trainer Turo Escalante (John Ortiz) is prepping his horses for the day’s races. He flirts with the pretty vet (Jill Hennessy) and barely acknowledges the apprentice jockey assigned to warming up his horse… until the Cajun kid, Leon (Tom Payne), tells him how big he’s going to win this afternoon. Turo snaps at the kid to shut his mouth about any such thing. Turo has plans for this horse -- a longshot -- and the last thing he needs is some “nobody triple-bug apprentice” jockey ruining his action.
Not far away, Walter (Nick Nolte) is prepping his own horse. Walter’s been around, you can tell, but he doesn’t say much -- except to the horse. He’s been pampering this colt, but today is going to be different. “Maybe you let him stretch out a little,” he instructs the pretty Irish exercise rider who hops aboard, careful to look around to make sure no one heard him. Walter retreats to the grandstand with his binoculars and stop-watch and what he sees of his horse takes his breath away. “Guess I still know a peach when I see one,” he says to himself.
Walter isn’t the only one to see something special in his horse. A trio of degenerates gather near the rail, strategizing their day’s bets. They’re aiming for the Pick 6 jackpot -- pick six consecutive winners correctly and win as much as $2.7 million. Jerry (Jason Gedrick) has his picks ready, but there’s a problem. He’s tapped out, broke. Yesterday, he went home with $390 in winnings, and now he’s busted. He tells oxygen-mask Marcus (Kevin Dunn) that he lost the money playing poker at the casino, but take a closer look at Jerry. He looks a little strung out. Is he a bad poker player or does he have other habits that Marcus and the crew aren’t aware of?
To increase their odds of winning, the Degenerates intend to bet on several horses in each race -- except in the fourth race. Bucking conventional wisdom, Jerry thinks Turo’s longshot is a sure-thing. He’s not really betting on the horse, Mon Gateau, or its Cajun rider -- he’s betting on the cagy Turo, who might just have a history of longshots inexplicably paying off. Jerry knows his stuff, he's confident in his selections, but he too is distracted when Walter’s horse barrels around the last turn like a locomotive. Who is that horse?

X Games skicross racer McNeal blasts ban from final for clothing violation

ASPEN — Like almost every athlete at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Lange ly McNeal was showing her love for fallen freeskier Sarah Burke with a white ribbon tied around her leg.
The Idaho skicross racer Sunday night said the ribbon — with the word "Sarah" — forced her disqualification from Sunday's skicross finals after French officials complained that "straps" — McNeal said it was the band and a hair tie on her right boot — violated the X Games' skicross clothing rules.
"It's been a lifelong dream for me to compete in the X Games finals, and for it to be taken from me for something so trivial, it's just breaking my heart," she said. "It's not like I hit someone with my pole or

anything like that. I am so bummed. I'm still stunned. My heart is just breaking right now."Sunday's race was not part of the International Ski Federation's World Cup, which closely regulates skicross clothing related to aerodynamics. Chris Stiepock, vice president of X Games events, said the violation was not about the Sarah band.
"It had nothing to do with the Sarah banner. It had to do with straps she had on both legs around her boots. I can quote from the rules: 'No straps or fastening devices or other methods can be used to tighten the suit material closer to the body,' " Stiepock said. "We certainly feel bad, but this has nothing to do with the Sarah banner. We have allowed all the athletes to wear those banners without stopping really anybody. This had to do with the fastening devices around her pant legs."
By 8:30 p.m. Sunday — four hours after McNeal was disqualified — a Facebook page titled "Langely's story must be heard! X games can't hide!" had almost 2,000 members.
McNeal was celebrating with friends and family Sunday in the finish corral of the skicross race course after posting a qualifying time in a semifinal that moved the three-time X Games competitor into her first finals. An official approached her and told her not to leave. The French team had lodged a complaint about her clothing.
"At first I thought it was a joke. I was laughing," McNeal said. "It was really poorly handled by the X Games. And a pretty low blow by the French."
When the French complaint bumped McNeal from the finals, French racer Marielle Berger advanced to the finals, where she finished fourth.
"Someone had to move up," Stiepock said.
Stiepock said the French were "within their rights to lodge the complaint."
"They lodged the complaint before they left the finish corral, which is what they are supposed to do," he said. "Regardless of who lodged the complaint, it was a legitimate one, and we felt that a disqualification was warranted. Like I said, it's unfortunate, but we gotta follow the rules."
McNeal said there were four French coaches arguing with X Games officials, while she watched the exchange from the finish corral.
"I was so taken aback. I'm not confrontational at all. There was no one there to represent me or argue my case," she said. "People have worn the most ridiculous stuff at the X Games. There are no rules at the X Games. That's why everyone loves the X Games."
But there are rules that specifically address using anything to tighten clothing, which could create less drag and provide an aerodynamic edge.
McNeal said she had worn the hair tie on her right boot — and the Sarah band — through Thursday's qualifying races and Sunday's semifinals. She said the French "were really after anything to get me disqualified from the finals."
"First it was the band, then the hair-tie. Then they wouldn't even tell me why I was being DQ'd," she said.
McNeal said X Games officials called her late Sunday to apologize.
Stiepock, however, was not apologetic. He couldn't remember an athlete getting disqualified for violating a clothing rule in the 16 years of Winter X.
"Considering all that we have done to honor Sarah here, (McNeal's) claim seems odd," he said. "Considering how many other athletes are wearing this banner, it just seems odd."
