Hey, howard, you haven't been short the market through all this upswing, have you? Here's an excerpt from an e-mail I received today from an NYSE trader. The S&P has risen 146% from its 12 year low in 2009. But the records don’t just stop with the indexes. Factset put out a report this past week...

I recently learned that my alma mater, Colorado State won the club national titles for both the men's and women's lacrosse. It was the third straight title for the women. I know it's only club level, but still, something to be proud of.

Big hit by Brad Stuart on Justin Williams last night.

So, I'm in a low-traffic part of the gate area of SFO, waiting to board my flight to Detroit. A couple folks come over to the big, pudgy guy sitting near me and ask for a photo with him, which he does graciously. I never would have recognized him as a pro athlete. But, it's Matthew Stafford, QB of t...

I don't know if this properly goes in the craft brew thread, but I picked up this Belgian golden ale, on a whim. Pretty good. So, I'm savoring it, with the Robert Earl Keen online concert on the laptop and the hockey game on the teevee. Good times. http://belgianbeerweekend.jp/sites/default/files/p...

Sharks' GM, Doug Wilson issues a fairly strong statement re the suspension of Raffi Torres: The Sharks organization fully supports the NHL in its efforts to remove illegal and dangerous hits from the game but we strongly disagree with the NHL's decision to suspend Raffi Torres.

Un-fucking-believable!

The article says she never sat for the artist. So, I'm assuming he just used his imagination. I'll bet she was pissed when she found out about it!

I put my comment on the Sharks missing Raffi Torres in the wrong thread. Should've gone here. I've always disliked the guy, but I know my team is going to be hurt by his absence. Watching the Ranger/Bruins game - I don't have a dog in this fight, but Brad Marchand makes it easy to root against Bosto...

Raffi Torres suspended for the rest of the series. The Sharks are going to miss him. They certainly became better when they acquired him.

sancarlos

Goddammit that's gruesome. What separates me from the pros (aside from talent) is that in that situation I'd have absolutely no problem calmly skating over to Edler and taking a Derek-Bell-like swing at Edler's face. Then I'd do it again. So, you're pretty much, Link Gaetz, eh? Somebody around here...

A mountain lion was strolling around downtown Santa Cruz today. Then, it got itself trapped in a walled aqueduct. After much head scratching (as this became a big news and twitter story), they darted it and carted it out to the wilderness. But, it will be on all the local news stations tonight link

Steve, I guess we have to agree to disagree, because I think you are being ridiculous. The NLRB has been equally divided between labor and corporate orientation for decades, which is important, given its role as an arbiter of labor issues. Now, in an obvious desire to reward his organized union supp...

This press release is a bit self-serving, but imho, the points made are very valid. I noted this issue in one of the olde swampes.

What if Facebook could update your real life, like they periodically do to their site? (Yes, I know it is a free site and it's a bit silly to complain about something you aren't even paying for. - let's just lighten up and enjoy the video.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=...

Great work by your son, there, Dave.

Sharks came out roaring but haven't been able to solve Quick yet.

First home ice advantage in a series for the Kings in 21 years! They've won five straight series' coming into this one... The last series they lost was to... The Sharks!

Glad it worked out, Keg. Definitely go with the kiddie pool idea. We have one in our back yard for the dog. She loves to just lie there in the water. (cue joke).

Just so it's clear I was joking with the "grandpa" comment. Obviously SC can like or not like whatever he wants. Well, thanks! But, seriously, I was (And am still) into a lot of classic punk. Back in that day, there was plenty of stuff I really liked - the Pistols, Ramones, Undertones, Bu...

Lars Eller sucked for me, too. But, he scored almost as much for me as Ovechkin did.

No question about it, the Leafs had plenty of chances - even late in the 3rd and OT

West Coast bias. Heh. I suppose you saw this : Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne believe the Hart Trophy voting is a product of EAST COAST BIAS. "The only time the media in the East sees anyone in the West is when we play them," Getzlaf said. "You're not going to see our games, the medi...

This whole "Swamp Dating Thread" business is bogus. As if we signed up for one of those Match-dot-com or Plenty-of-Fish sites... To be more accurate, the title should be something like, " Thread where the single guys titillate the old married guys with stories of their amorous advent...

I just hope they keep Taylor Hall away from b level Hollywood starlets.

No problem, as long as he stays up in Edmonton. Gretzky didn't find his until he went to L.A.

C'mon, now, Sharks!

Scottie, I have tickets for game three, Sharks v. Kings. I'd like to help you out, but my daughter would kill me if she didn't get the ticket.

Spent a couple days at a cottage in Sonoma County. The owners put a couple beers from Lost Coast Brewery (Eureka, CA) in the ice box. Not bad!

Great deflection by Frans Nielsen past his own goalie, to tie it up for Pittsburgh.

1-10 in their last 11 playoff games. The Canucks are the perfect schadenfreude. Coach and GM both gone? What do they do with the dual goaltender issue? Do they just release Luongo in July? Well, per Scottie's recent post, Luongo doesn't appear to believe his future is in Vancouver. The GM held out ...

SWEEP!

Glad to see it, too. A sweep is big, because now the Sharks have a few days to rest and let bumps and bruises heal.

Poetic justice that tying goal in 3rd period came with Kevin Bieksa in the box for a bonehead penalty.
