Leafs coach Ron Wilson gets contract extension
TORONTO ? Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson has gotten his Christmas wish.
Two days after hinting on Twitter of his desire for a new contract, Wilson says the team has given him an extension.
"'He came! He came!' Remember saying that as a little kid? Well he did: I got a new Red Ryder BB gun and a contract extension!" Wilson tweeted Sunday morning.
The team did not immediately respond to an email seeking confirmation. Wilson tweeted Friday that what he wanted for Christmas was a new contract from general manager Brian Burke.
"This Xmas could be better if Santa stuffs a certain piece of paper in my stocking. whatcouldthatbe," Wilson posted on his Twitter account.
The 56-year-old Wilson is in the final season of a four-year contract. The Leafs are sixth in the Eastern Conference with 40 points. Toronto has not made the playoffs in three previously seasons under Wilson, who is 119-120-42 with the Leafs.
Wilson, a defenseman as a player, was selected by the Leafs in the 1975 draft. He has a 637-546-101-88 coaching record with Anaheim, Washington, San Jose and Toronto. He is 47-48 in the playoffs.

Why Washington Redskins Fans Should Feel Good About 2012 Season
Although we're all aware that injuries are a part of the game and that all teams are forced to adjust, even a Cowboys fan would have a little bit of sympathy for the Redskins and the way the injury bug attacked the team this season.?
I'm not trying to sound like a crybaby with it or anything, but it seemed like one injury after another for the Redskins this season?all at key positions.?
Running back Tim Hightower blows out his knee, safety LaRon Landry hasn't been right since last season, left guard Kory Lichtensteiger blows out his knee, tight end Chris Cooley drops to IR, wide receiver Anthony Armstrong is set back early, rookie Jarvis Jenkins blows out a knee, rookie wideout Leonard Hankerson begins to shine and he hits IR, safety O.J. Atogwe gets a rough start while recovering and the list goes on. It almost didn't seem fair.?
The only good news that can come from such injuries is the fact that all of these guys had time to heal over the course of the season (if they went down early) and the upcoming offseason to heal and prepare for next season.?
Again, I'm not blaming a 5-11 or 6-10 record on injuries alone. But I'm also not denying that it makes a season exponentially harder. And to add fuel to the fire, dummies like Trent Williams and Fred Davis don't help the situation by earning suspensions for a quarter of the season.?

Military Wives Set To Beat X Factor To Top Spot

8:25am UK, Sunday December 25, 2011
One of the wives, Sarah Clarke, said: "We're so proud of our men now they've got something to be proud of us for."
Gareth Malone told Sky News he is shocked but it's a very timely release.
"This single comes at a time when we're thinking about Afghanistan and the feeling is - realising sacrifices they've made - and not just fatalities but the small sacrifices these women make on a daily basis."
Their charity song Wherever You Are became the fastest selling single in six years.
They sold more in two days than the X Factor winners sold in a week and are tipped to sell a million by Christmas Day.
Leona Lewis topped the Xmas chart in 2006
Another of the wives Jo Millthorpe is astonished. She said: "This time a few months ago we couldn't have imagined it. It just keeps getting better."
Mrs Clarke added: "When the choir started the lads had just gone away so we were really low, we needed a pick me up to take out minds off the situation.
"But to end up contender for number one is just way and above anything anyone could have expected."
For five of the last six years the X Factor winners, Matt Cardle, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Leon Jackson and Shayne Ward hogged the number one spot.
But this year it looks highly unlikely Little Mix will manage to hold onto number one for another week to top the festive chart.
In 2009, Rage Against The Machine beat Joe McElderry to number one, and this year Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit was hoping to be the anti-X Factor bid, but the campaign gained little momentum.
Bob The Builder enjoyed his success in 2000
Other contenders hoping to make the top spot this Christmas included the cast of the Only Way Is Essex, but they are unlikely to do it - not even with Nanny Pat and their Christmas vajazzle.
The Wombles threw their hats in for novelty value, but they don't stand a chance against the Military Wives.
Gennaro Castaldo from HMV says that at Christmas anything can happen in the charts.
"You've got the party season and feeling nostalgia, it's the one time of the year that anything can happen in the charts."
From the sublime with Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas Christmas number one in 1984, 1989 and 2004, to the ridiculous Mr Blobby in 1993, the plain stupid Bob the Builder in 2000 to the sentimental Cliff Richard in 1988 with his Misteltow And Wine, we seem to like nostalgia and the novelty from our Christmas chart.
If the Military Wives do it, they will also win The Official Singles Chart Number 1 Award to mark the 60th anniversary of the UK's Official Singles Chart.

WikiLeaks' Assange can continue extradition fight
LONDON (AP) ? WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was granted permission by judges Monday to continue his legal battle to avoid extradition to Sweden over sex crimes allegations ? but was warned that his chances of success are slim.
At a hearing at London's High Court, senior judges John Thomas and Duncan Ouseley said Assange would be allowed to apply to Britain's Supreme Court to argue that Europe's process of carrying out extradition was flawed.
The WikiLeaks' chief now has 14 days to submit a written request for a hearing at the country's highest court, Gareth Peirce, a lawyer for Assange, said outside court.
The decision means Assange won't face immediate deportation, and is likely to spend a second Christmas living under curfew at a supporter's country estate in eastern England.
Assange's legal team argue that police and prosecutors ? like the Swedish prosecutor seeking to bring Assange back to the country for questioning ? are not a proper judicial authority, and shouldn't have the right to order extraditions.
Judges said Assange's lawyers had raised a legal question of "general public importance," which is necessary to win an audience at the Supreme Court. But Thomas added that the appeal's "chances of success may be extraordinarily slim."
Assange, who listened attentively and scribbled notes throughout the hearing, was cheered by a small group of supporters ? including several demonstrators from the nearby Occupy London encampment ? as he left the court.
"The High Court has decided that an issue that arises from my own case is of general public importance and may be of assistance in other cases and should be heard at the Supreme Court," Assange said on the steps of the courthouse.
"I think this is the right decision and I am thankful. The long struggle for justice for me and for others continues," he said.
Assange, 40, leads the foundering WikiLeaks anti-secrecy movement, which has been hit with a series of legal and financial setbacks. He was accused of rape, coercion and molestation following encounters with two Swedish women in August 2010. Swedish authorities issued a European Arrest Warrant on rape and molestation accusations, and Assange was arrested in London in December 2010.
Assange was released on bail on the condition that he lives under curfew and wears an electronic tag.
In February, Judge Howard Riddle ruled that Assange can be extradited to Sweden to face questions about the allegations, rejecting his claims that he would not receive a fair trial there.
Assange appealed against the decision. He also insists that the sexual encounters were entirely consensual, and legal in the context of English law.
Judges said Monday that they believed Assange would have faced charges if the incidents had taken place in Britain.
Per E. Samuelsson, Assange's Swedish lawyer, hailed the court's decision to allow him to continue his legal fight.
"This is positive news for Julian Assange and means he will remain in the U.K. while the court assesses his appeal," Samuelsson said. "It is something we have fought for."
Claes Borgstrom, the lawyer representing the two women bringing sex crime charges against Assange, called the decision regrettable.
"My clients have waited for over a year for a legal conclusion of this and now they will have to wait even longer," Borgstrom said. "Then it will still end with Assange being transferred to Sweden. The rules are very clear about this."
"I regret he himself doesn't choose to hand himself over," Borgstrom added.
He said the two women had hoped that the case would have been settled at Monday's hearing. "Now they have to wait for another few months. We are hardened by now, but of course this is still stressful," he said.
Peirce said a panel of three Supreme Court judges will review Assange's appeal for a hearing at the court. If accepted, it could be several more months before his fate is decided conclusively. However, if the judges reject the plea for a hearing, Assange could be sent to Sweden within 10 days, she said.
The High Court judges appealed to their colleagues at the Supreme Court to resolve the case as speedily as possible.
"We would, for obvious reasons, ask that the point is decided as quickly as possible," Thomas told the hearing.
Outside the court, masked members of the hacker group Anonymous and supporters of the Occupy protest ? some of whom wore the cartoon-style masks that have become synonymous with the demonstration, mingled with WikiLeaks activists.
One banner draped over railings outside the court read "Free Assange. Free Manning," referring to U.S. Army analyst Bradley Manning who is in custody at Fort Leavenworth prison in Kansas, suspected of disclosing secret intelligence to WikiLeaks.

Small group int. checks
I should really be doing more important things right now, but Christmas break is coming up and if my memory is to be trusted, it'll be school again before I can get a role play up and running if I wait until then. So. I'm looking for one or two people to RP with, no more than two. I once let a bunch of people into a role play that was supposed to only have three players total and things quickly got way out of hand, so I'm putting my foot down this time. I'll not have any more than two other people in this RP. I've got a few ideas myself, but I'm open to any of yours. Keep in mind that I'm pretty uptight about grammar, so please at least know the difference between "you're" and "your." If you don't, though, check this out-- http://www.roleplaygateway.com/perfect-your-grammar-editing-services-t65363.html . I won't hassle you about slang or chatspeak if you know when and where to use it. I don't care too much about post length, but detail's nice. Shoot for maybe a paragraph per post. If you like longer posts, I'll try to match mine to yours.
The stuff I'll RP with:
Any kind of fantasy, including its sub-genres--dark, modern, medieval, etc.
Sci-fi--I really like playing with dystopian societies, steampunk, and fantasy/sci-fi blends.
Pre-made story worlds--if you're writing a story and want to RP with the world you've made, I'm more than happy to join.
Stuff I'm not comfortable/skilled with, but willing to try out:
Realistic/modern-day things
Romance (I'm okay to try some romance, but I'd like to keep it controlled and realistic and not gushy.)
Zombies
Stuff I won't do:
Fanfiction (You'd be hard-pressed to find any fandom I'd know anything about, anyway)
Anything R-rated
Boarding schools or vampires, unless you can convince me that your idea is really original
Band RPs
Ideas:
1.) Trapped in the Witch's Mansion: Our characters wake up to find themselves locked in a labyrinthine castle in the hands of a bored witch looking for some sadistic entertainment. They must search for the key to freedom, all the while avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and keeping each other alive. Death and injury are very possible in this RP.
2.) Choose your own adventure: Remember those old books where you spent half your time reading and the other half flipping through the book, looking for the right page? This will be kind of like that, except I'll make it up as we go. I'll do all the writing and you can have your character decide which path to take. A detailed character profile is encouraged so I can write them well.
3.) DINOSAURS!: A civilization has risen and fallen. All humanity has now are solar-powered laser guns and the dinosaurs they cloned from fossilized blood. Tribes of people with tamed dinosaurs, among them utahraptors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utahraptor), triceratops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triceratops), and parkosaurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parksosaurus) live nomadic lives in what used to be North America, having epic dinosaur races, epic laser gun battles, and epic laser gun battles while riding racing dinosaurs. The Rule of Cool and the Rule of Funny drive this RP.
