There shouldn't be fighting in prospect games
Cam Charron
September 12 2011 10:52AM
The scene: After a hard-fought prospects game at one of the many preseason tournaments sprouting up across North America, a progressive coach brings a player into his office to discuss the fighting major the player earned the night before in the second period of a 5-1 hockey game.
"Oh, hey, it's good to see you showed up. I wanted to call you in here with regards to that fight that you had last night in our prospects game.
Listen, I don't know who told you that the best way to get noticed during these tournaments is to stand up for either yourself or your teammates, but it isn't. Our scouting staff have spend hours watching you and, while we may not have drafted you this past spring, it by no means indicates that we don't know much about you.
We invited you to this camp so that we could test you out in a few game situations under our control and see how you handle them. One of those isn't fighting, trust me. You don't have to prove anything. We know how hard you work already.
Look, you're a good hockey player. I've seen some of your game tape from junior hockey, and there's a lot of good things that you can do, and trust me, we're looking. We know how hard you've worked to make it this far in hockey, and you definitely don't need to prove it to us. Particularly by doing something as dangerous as fighting; I was nearly sick to my stomach last night watching you scrap and I'm relieved that you and the guy on the other team you fought came out unscatched, but let's not toy with fate.
I don't want to connect the dangers of fighting to some of the tragic deaths we've seen over the past two summers because in all those terrible cases there were outside influences factor in, but that doesn't mean that this organization takes them lightly. Hockey is already a fast, dangerous, violent game that can hurt you in many different ways and we don't want to add to that list on dangerous, violent things in this sport, particularly with something that this organization doesn't feel has a tangible impact on the game.
You may think that you're turning the momentum in the game, but, trust me, we've done a bit of research. For all the examples you can find of a player overcoming an opponent in fisticuffs and motivating his team to score a goal and come back to win the hockey game, we can find just as many examples of times it didn't work.
In the end, while I appreciate that you want to show how hard you've worked, I'd feel a lot better if you showed me in other ways. Win puck battles, create scoring chances, or even do something as simple as set up an offensive zone faceoff—really, our coaching staff and video analysts are looking at all these things when we evaluate our players. We want to see you do things on the ice that we think can help us win the hockey game, and we don't want to see you taking part in a sideshow when we don't know the full effects of the toll fighting can take on a player, particularly one so young as yourself."

One thing being overlooked here is that these games are not "meaningless". These kids have 2 or 3 games to make an impact on management. If fighting a guy tonight, gets me in the lineup tomorrow, you better believe I am going to fight when asked.
Was there ever a risk that Teubert wasn't going to dress for the next game?

I'd rather Cam Abney be ready to play as a hockey player in the NHL, rather than be ready as a fighter. Having the latter without the former has little actual value. Not only that, but he's got a full season in the AHL to prove he can fight men. ------------------------------------- I don't want players fighting in training camp. The point is is that these games are largely meaningless. It is an unacceptable risk to have your prospect fighting in a meaningless game. For most of these guys there is little chance they start the season in the NHL, why risk an injury in an exhibition game?
What happens when you are trying to decide if an Abney should play in the AHL, ECHL or go back to junior?
The logical conclusion to your argument is that they don't need the prospect game at all. They saw RNH play last year and will have this year to watch him - why bother?
Further, should we then outlaw hits - especially when its 6-0, as they increase the chance of injury?
If you want no fighting in hockey, fine. There are some good arguments for that position. I could do without the staged stuff. But to start saying to teams and players that you can have it here but not there is unfair to both.
Until you see Abney fighting with guys closer and closer to his ultimate weight division, you don't really know if he has the technique and strength needed to excel.
If I'm deciding whether Abney should be in the CHL, ECHL or AHL it's not based on his fighting, it's based on where he is capable of taking a regular shift without being a detriment to his team. His fighting ability is the last thing I look at because if he can fight like a demon but still can't play above a CHL level, then he should be in the CHL.
I'm not saying they don't need the prospects game, but I think the focus should be on the right players. Do I need to see another game of Hopkins doing his thing against the same calibre of players he played against last year? Probably not, but seeing Gernat is probably something not a lot of the scouts were able to see. Same with the invitees and undrafted free agents. A guy like Hopkins just increases the amount of skill in the game (which is fine), but you aren't evaluating him.
And hits are apart of hockey from 12 years old... fights aren't (especially staged ones). Besides, the penalty I'm suggesting isn't that drastic, you can still fight if you really feel you have to, it just discourages some of the scenes in previous years where there are 6 or 7 staged fights because guys want to prove how tough they are, and the game is already in the bag so there is no need to play hockey anymore.
September 12 2011, 08:21PM
I think there is nothing to worry about and the Oilers have depth at all positions. Once the defence matures and gets better it will be no surprise our goaltending will all of a sudden be nothing to really worry about. I think we desperately need to a puck moving power power play specialist on the point. Hall and Hopkins look like a future Sakic and Forsberg combination. I see a Stanley Cup in the near future and Hall will be front and centre. Go Oil

I just had to give you props for the shout out to Frances Aleba. One of my favorite professors ever and the person I credit most for my interest in the English language.
I still remember the first class when he (as he always did) so passionately remark that "words and language are POWER! If you are able to command the english language, you command POWER!"
Tough not to be excited with such a passionate professor.
...Oh ya.. fighting...
Last year I had a change of heart. I was in the "you can't ban fighting, it's part of the game!," and the "this is part of the pussification of the world" camp. Then I watched MacIntyre all last year. Man, is that guy ever a bad NHL player! His fights were brutal too. He had the one good one against Ivanins where it was part of the show (battle of Alberta, 1st game in the "new culture," etc...) and I cheered.
As the season went on though, I thought the staged fights were useless. Every. Single. One. They added nothing to the game.
That being said, the fights I can agree with are the emotional ones. Taylor Hall fighting because he is tired of a guy bein a dick, or Gagner fighting for the same reasons. Those are the fights that change momentum, not the staged fights. I go get another beer when those come on.
That Aleba class was intense for a then 18 yr old Archaeologuy. 1/2 the class dropped before the second semester started and 1/3 of the remaining class failed.
It was unbelievably taxing. But I survived and thrived, so no complaints from me.
September 12 2011, 09:32PM
I don't agree with everything that is written on the Nation Sites, but I appreciate them for writing it.
Add something of value, or keep your garbage comments to yourself.
Also, "irrevant" isn't a word.
You're right that was unfair to Cam and generally a waste of time. Sorry for that Cam I do appriciate the spirit of your work. However: Guys like Cam Abney need to showcase themselves and thats what is going to get them to the show.
Fighting should stay untill it disapears from the NHL. These kids are prospects too and until their is no need for fighters (that day may be comming soon, I'll admit) they need a venue as much as anyone else.
Its part of the game . . . for now at least.
Lots of NHLers don't have their grade 10....and probably wouldn't read this whole letter
"It's a part of the game. The deaths this summer...blahblahblah...Deal with it."
Really, the one who needs to "deal" with something is you. There is a growing movement among fans (and others in *real* positions of power in the sport) questioning what role fighting has in hockey - whether fighting is, in fact, "part of the game".
Does it change momentum? Does it build team unity? Does it protect against cheap shots? Does it actually impact winning and losing?
And once people start looking into those issue, they will inevitably be left with one conclusion:
"We don't see any reason for allowing fighting, because it contributes nothing to winning a hockey game."
And then all that's left is a sideshow to a hockey game that will be eliminated. Don't know how this process will take, but it is inevitable.
Last time I checked - elbowing, highsticking, spearing, holding, etc do not contribute anything to winning hockey games either. If you commit a foul - you are penalized.
A fight is a foul and is subsequently penalized. If you want to change the severity of the penalty, different story.
As others of have posted - there must be a reason enforcers make the NHL, otherwise they wouldn't be getting paid millions of dollars to be there.
Pretty hard to get around that fact.
Fighting has a place in the game.
There. I said it.
Temper's flare, emotions run wild, and things happen in the heat of the moment.
If Darcy Tucker takes a run at Michael Peca and clips his knee in the process, I have no problem with Arron Asham coming over and scrapping Tucker (loosely based on actual events).
If Jarome Iginla & Vinny Lecavalier, or Ryan Getzlaf & Joe Thornton want to have a scrap over the course of a 7 game series, all the power to them. There is a reason. It serves a purpose.
What I am tired of seeing - and this has changed for me, and I think many others on BOTH sides of the fighting debate can agree - is the super-heavyweights on either team squaring off every 2 or 3 or 4 games. It no longer serves a purpose (if it ever did). The 6"5", 240lb. "knuckle-dragger", or the 6'7", 255lb. "dancing bear" has run its course. The game does not need those guys. Steve MacIntyre may be a great guy off the ice, someone you really want to pull for once talking to him, but he doesn't belong ANYWHERE near the NHL. I think he proved that rather well over the last couple seasons. Yet he got a new contract. Why?
And there's others: Trevor Gillies saw an average of 3:04 of ice time in 39 games (less than 2 hours of total ice time over the course of the season); David Koci saw an average of 4:05 over 35 games; Derek Boogaard & Wade Belak both saw less than 5:00 on average.
These types of players have become extinct in my mind. If a guy can't play say at least 8-10 minutes on average, he probably doesn't belong in the league. If he can barely skate, turns like a battleship, and handles the puck like a grenade, he probably doesn't belong in the league.
This is where I get frustrated. It's not fighting as a whole that should be targeted by the anti-fight crowd. The true target, in my opinion, should be the "goon".
-In 76 games, Kyle Clifford had 7-7-14 and 141 PIMs (18 fights) while averaging 9:30 per game. In his rookie season. To me, he is an effective player.
-In 79 games, Shawn Thornon had 10-10-20 and 122 PIMs while averaging 10:04 per game. He had 14 fights. Effective player.
-Brandon Prust had 13-16-29 and 160 PIMs (18 fights) while averaging 13:48 per game. He played all 82 games. Effective player.
These are but a few examples on either side of the fence.
I am pro-fighting. I am anti-goon. Let's not get confused here - fighting has a place in the game... "dancing bears" do not.
Except if having one of these "enforcers" playing a few minutes means you can get your skilled guys more icetime...
I know it will never happen, but the game would be much better if you eliminated 2 forward positions on the playing roster. You could still keep the same amount of guys on the active roster (so the NHLPA wouldn't freak out about losing jobs), but there wouldnt be room to dress a Goddard or Gillies if they cant play.
That being said, the way the rosters are now - I like the idea of having a 4th line of specialized players (maybe an enforcer, a PK/Faceoff specialist and maybe even a defensively weak PP guy).
The way I see it, with a guy like McIntyre in the line-up on RW that gives more icetime to skilled RW like Hemsky and Eberle.
With TV timeouts, improvements in conditioning, etc - there is no reason why 10 forwards couldn't play during any given game.
People will argue that fewer players means a greater chance of injury, etc. Every team will be in the same baot and teams will still have the same active roster size to replace any player that may become injured or fatigued throughout the season.
September 13 2011, 12:42AM
Perhaps we should remove hitting from the game too? Then the fans can see even more of the star players as the injury rate will drop off to next to nothing.
After all, Ive done some research, and there is no evidence that body checking actually helps teams win games.
Just a thought.
These are pre-season games involving a broad cross section of talents among rookies.
Unlike the all star game. Unlike the junior prospects game. These are pre season, exhibition games for ALL noobs.
Exhibition games exhibit talents. Fighting, checking, passing, hitting, face-offs, PK, theses are all skills to exhibit. (Oh and also passing, shooting, scoring, and for most goalies, saving. )
Fighting happens in pre season, regular season, and playoffs.
Let's not kid ourselves, this isn't an all star game.
Jesus, it's like people take a look at the words "There shouldn't be fighting..." and immediately drag out the same lame arguments ("LOL let's ban hitting too" "hockey is a MAN'S game asdf"). I'm sick of these prospect fights, and I appreciated this article.
JOB Opening - Temporary player specialists needed for Temp workload that could lead to more fulltime . Large pay and benefits consumant with use , and may be at more than one venue or team . Some minor league training may be necessary . Are you a team player even if only a temp one ?
These aren't prospect games however... These kids are already chosen, (for the most part - there are walk ons.). It's a prelude to allocation. Time to show your talents, all of them.
I appreciate the article as well.
It generates opinions and discussion.
They are doing their best, sometimes poorly, at showcasing their skills. Some are proving they are not great skill players.
And, some of these fights are lame. Some are proving they are, and some are proving they are not, bringing other attributes to the table.
September 13 2011, 11:11AM

These players are fighting for jobs. Literally. Fighting in training camps (that is essentially what this is) are commonplace and have been happening for years and years.
And yes, the bleeding heart gang will look to remove body checking from the game if and when fighting is ever banned from the sport.
Its already happening with the "head shot" rules that have been brought in. Im all for protecting players, and personally I could do without fighting, especially the staged fights, but if you dont think there are those actively considering changing the game then you havent been paying attention.
September 13 2011, 12:49PM
Wow, I went straight for the comment section after this read. Whats next, no hitting. That hurts more players than fighting. Try to eliminate staged fights, no more. If you can play hockey, fight all you want.
September 13 2011, 12:54PM
Wow, I went straight for the comment section after this read. Whats next, no hitting. That hurts more players than fighting. Try to eliminate staged fights, no more. If you can play hockey, fight all you want.
that line of reasoning is ambitious. it takes alot of work to make that jump from fighting in rookie camps to no hitting in NHL, but you've done it and i commmend you for how illogical it is.
when people discuss fighting or headshots they do not, DO NOT (for clarification), say eliminate hitting.
this is not a stretching contest.
September 13 2011, 03:12PM
In the space of a year we have gone from nothing to no headshots under certain conditions, to talk of no headshots period of any kind, to removing fighting from the game.
That is a pretty sizeable shift in philosophy. Its not "stretching" much at all to suggest that taking the ban on further incidents/types of body contact may be on the horizon.
Especially if Crosby has an abbreviated career.
September 13 2011, 03:53PM
@I am the Liquor
the shift may seem quick and large but to some extent in regards to headshots they are simply enforcing rules already in place.
seeing what we see and knowing what we know is it not at least advisable to talk about things?
i would not suggest remove hitting (headshots yes) from the game but i would be remiss to at least not discuss fighting, equipment, etc.
it is clear to me that cam charron did not say anything in this piece about removing hitting and the insuation that he is...that is a "stretch".
September 13 2011, 04:08PM
Removing hitting from the game is really no more preposturous than what the author is proposing with this article.
Its a knee-jerk reaction to an unfortunate incident that happened a couple of days ago.
September 13 2011, 04:17PM
@I am the Liquor
i suppose it is simply a point of view. i don't see it that way but i can understand how some want to.

This information in Spanish (en español)
Depression is more than just feeling "blue" or "down in the dumps" for a few days. It's a serious illness that involves the brain. With depression, sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings don't go away and interfere with day-to-day life and routines. These feelings can be mild to severe. The good news is that most people with depression get better with treatment.
Depression is a common problem during and after pregnancy. About 13 percent of pregnant women and new mothers have depression.
When you are pregnant or after you have a baby, you may be depressed and not know it. Some normal changes during and after pregnancy can cause symptoms similar to those of depression. But if you have any of the following symptoms of depression for more than 2 weeks, call your doctor:
Your doctor can figure out if your symptoms are caused by depression or something else.
There is no single cause. Rather, depression likely results from a combination of factors:
Depression after childbirth is called postpartum depression. Hormonal changes may trigger symptoms of postpartum depression. When you are pregnant, levels of the female hormones estrogen (ESS-truh-jen) and progesterone (proh-JESS-tur-ohn) increase greatly. In the first 24 hours after childbirth, hormone levels quickly return to normal. Researchers think the big change in hormone levels may lead to depression. This is much like the way smaller hormone changes can affect a woman's moods before she gets her period.
Levels of thyroid hormones may also drop after giving birth. The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that helps regulate how your body uses and stores energy from food. Low levels of thyroid hormones can cause symptoms of depression. A simple blood test can tell if this condition is causing your symptoms. If so, your doctor can prescribe thyroid medicine.
Other factors may play a role in postpartum depression. You may feel:
Certain factors may increase your risk of depression during and after pregnancy:
Women who are depressed during pregnancy have a greater risk of depression after giving birth. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for depression during and after pregnancy, regardless of a woman's risk factors for depression.
Many women have the baby blues in the days after childbirth. If you have the baby blues, you may:
The baby blues most often go away within a few days or a week. The symptoms are not severe and do not need treatment.
The symptoms of postpartum depression last longer and are more severe. Postpartum depression can begin anytime within the first year after childbirth. If you have postpartum depression, you may have any of the symptoms of depression listed above. Symptoms may also include:
Postpartum depression needs to be treated by a doctor.
Postpartum psychosis (seye-KOH-suhss) is rare. It occurs in about 1 to 4 out of every 1,000 births. It usually begins in the first 2 weeks after childbirth. Women who have bipolar disorder or another mental health problem called schizoaffective (SKIT-soh-uh-FEK-tiv) disorder have a higher risk for postpartum psychosis. Symptoms may include:
Call your doctor if:
Your doctor can ask you questions to test for depression. Your doctor can also refer you to a mental health professional who specializes in treating depression.
Some women don't tell anyone about their symptoms. They feel embarrassed, ashamed, or guilty about feeling depressed when they are supposed to be happy. They worry they will be viewed as unfit parents.
Any woman may become depressed during pregnancy or after having a baby. It doesn't mean you are a bad or "not together" mom. You and your baby don't have to suffer. There is help.
Here are some other helpful tips:
The two common types of treatment for depression are:
These treatment methods can be used alone or together. If you are depressed, your depression can affect your baby. Getting treatment is important for you and your baby. Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking medicine to treat depression when you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Untreated depression can hurt you and your baby. Some women with depression have a hard time caring for themselves during pregnancy. They may:
Depression during pregnancy can raise the risk of:
Untreated postpartum depression can affect your ability to parent. You may:
As a result, you may feel guilty and lose confidence in yourself as a mother. These feelings can make your depression worse.
Researchers believe postpartum depression in a mother can affect her baby. It can cause the baby to have:
It helps if your partner or another caregiver can help meet the baby's needs while you are depressed.
All children deserve the chance to have a healthy mom. And all moms deserve the chance to enjoy their life and their children. If you are feeling depressed during pregnancy or after having a baby, don't suffer alone. Please tell a loved one and call your doctor right away.

I do not know whether this resource has ever been mentioned in B-greek. It could be useful for some people who listen in on this list.
Complete Handbook of Greek Verbs. By N. Marione and F. Guala. Cambridrge, MA:Schoenhof's Foreigrn Books, Inc.; Milano: Casa Editrice Principato, 1961. ISBN 0-87774-001-1. 352 pp, octavo. Paper. [I did not check to see if it is still in print.]
This presents the parsing of over 13,000 Greek verb forms (tense, mood, voice, person, number) and gives the word under which it is defined in a lexicon. It would be very useful for people reading non- NT texts, whether classical, Hellenistic, or Roman period in time of origin. It begins with about 14 pages of tables of verb forms. While it was prepared by Italian scholars, instructions in this edition, printed in Canada in 1988, are in English.

This Amazon Exclusive bundle version includes an adaptor and a cool, sleek carry case. This wi-fi-enabled multimedia tablet combines interactive reading, learning games, and creative activities in a sleek and durable educational toy that. The InnoTab 2S also offers built-in apps, a rotating camera with video recorder, and an MP3 player. With the tablet's 5-inch color touch screen and tilt sensor, kids ages three to nine can touch, flick, and drag their way to learning and fun.
Kids can spend hours with InnoTab 2S's vivid and interactive e-books, which offer narration, character voices, graphics, sounds, and music. Children can learn reading comprehension, vocabulary, and phonics while interacting with animated characters. Words are highlighted as kids read, offering proper pronunciation when touched on the 5-inch color screen.
Each e-book also comes with a story dictionary. The definitions make it easy for children to understand new words and their context within the story.
The InnoTab 2S offers a variety of games, activities, and onboard apps that keep your child happy and busy for hours. Its multimedia players let children listen to music and view video, while the art-studio app allows them to draw with their fingers or one of the two included styluses. Kids can even color in the InnoTab 2S's virtual coloring book pages and bring their pictures to life by tilting the tablet from side to side.
Children can learn how to schedule their days with the calendar function and keep track of friends and family in their address book. The included calculator app helps kids learn math.

The bright color screen offers a sizable display for kids to enjoy the included games, activities, and apps. Even without reading the instructions, our testers found the universal symbols on the buttons and display easy to use and understand. However, kids in the recommended age group will most likely need help downloading activities and apps. Our testers recommend parental setup and supervision so that kids can get the most out of the InnoTab 2S experience.

Prior to the City Council meeting Jan. 14, an open house was held at the Orangeville Community Center for the outgoing Mayor Bart Cox and Councilmember James Davis along with the incoming Mayor Patrick Jones and Councilmember Mark Tuttle.

As Mayor Jones was taking office he presented a plaque and an engraved hunting knife to former Mayor Bart Cox with the comment that Bart should not skin any black rabbits with the knife (an inside joke). James Davis was not present to receive his plaque and engraved hunting knife.
The city council agreed without dissension to re-appoint recorder Ruanne Leeflang and treasurer Cindy Nielson
Leaflang was then sworn in by Nielson and Nielson was sworn in by Leeflang.
The Youth City Council members were next sworn in with Colton Leavitt as Mayor with councilmembers Allison Barnum, Tiffany Tuttle, Jacob Tuttle and Tyler Cox. This Youth City Council will be under the direction of Carmen Humphrey.
The mayor assigned himself to be a member of the Emery County Special Service District.
John Bell was appointed to be a member of the Emery County Recreation District.
Amanda Lake was granted a business license for medical coding. She explained the company she works for wants her to be a self employed contract worker and not an employee.

The city council approved the permit of one animal unit for Carl Beckstead.
The city council decided Christmas in the Park will be scheduled for Dec. 4.
The pros and cons of Orangeville Days versus July 24 was discussed with several members of the public voicing opinions. After some deliberation the city council decided they wanted Orangeville Days combined with the July 24 celebration.

Jeffery Tuttle reported that Orangeville City's cost per acre foot of water will be raised to $1.92 by the Water Conservancy District for operation and maintenance. The city has about 837 water shares of water at this time.
Carole Larsen said she appreciated the work of Kim Heiniger an Orangeville city employee that removed the snow from in front of the Library and the city buildings. She compared his work to another city where the snow and ice had not been removed from in front of the library creating a dangerous situation.

The Austrian architect and designer, Josef Hoffmann, was a key figure in the Vienna Secession, a group promoting the development of modern design in Austria at the end of the nineteenth century. Their work was characterised by simple linear, cubist design, emphasising luxurious materials and craftsmanship. Hoffmann's coordinated designs for buildings, interiors and objects were among the finest expressions of early European modernism and his work was produced by a number of Austrian glass, ceramic, furniture, metal, jewellery and textile manufacturers.
In this vase, Hoffmann has used traditional Bohemian glass-cutting techniques to emphasise the jewel-like colour of the glass, giving it a dramatic, sculptural presence.

Grabovski headshot on Varlamov, Yakupov scores in the shootout, and more KHL
Steve Dangle
November 21 2012 08:52PM
Mikhail Grabovski drilled Colorado Avanlanche (currently Lokomotiv) goalie Semyon Varlamov right in the head in the first period of Lokomotiv's game against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday. Was it on purpose? I'll let you decide.
In other Wednesday KHL action, Nail Yakupov scores in the shootout, and Ilya Kovalchuk's duo with Blues prospect Vladimir Tarasenko might be the most deadly duo in hockey right now.
Get some!
As I mentioned, Grabovski clocks Varlamov, and he follows it up with a damn fine game. Varlamov is the best goalie in the KHL on the hottest team in the KHL.
Ilya Kovalchuk and Vladimir Tarasenko and dispicable.
After some rust from the Subway Super Series, and a demotion to the 3rd line, Nail Yakupov scores in the shootout.
Malkin's squad falls to Sergei Kostitsyn's in a battle of eastern titans.
Viktor Hedman scores two assists to lift Barys Astana over Traktor.

The Ukraine dispute between President Obama and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin may turn from military intervention in Crimea to another pressing question: Secession.
Leaders of Russia's Parliament -- and Putin backers -- say they support a vote by Crimea on whether to break away from Ukraine, just hours after Obama said such a referendum would be illegal.
"The proposed referendum on the future of Crimea would violate the Ukrainian constitution and violate international law," Obama said Thursday. "Any discussion about the future of Ukraine must include the legitimate government of Ukraine."
He added: "In 2014, we are well beyond the days when borders can be redrawn over the heads of democratic leaders."
Sergei Naryshkin, the speaker of the lower house of Russia's Parliament, says Crimea should make the choice. "We will respect the historic choice of the people of Crimea," he said, reports The New York Times.
In his remarks on Thursday, Obama outlined a proposed resolution to the Crimea standoff, urging Putin to pull back troops to pre-existing bases in the region and to open direct talks with the Ukraine government.
Putin has not responded directly to the proposal.

Diplomacy is just war by other means.
Thought i'd just add a post here instead of making a new thread.
I'm also trying to consider when i'm ready to move to t16. Right now my rejuvs are my top healing spell on like, every fight. They are really, really strong with t15-4set. And i also have hc pieces on all my t15 parts.
Since i'm coming further into Hc's now in SoO we'll start getting t16 hc pieces. All dpsers in my tier has their 4set already, so i figured it would be a good time to start gathering it up. The stat increases may very well be worth the loss of improved rejuv heals.
Does any resto druid with t16-4piece have any logs where i can compare some fights to?
Diplomacy is just war by other means.
Second week with it:
I tend to use Iron Juggernaut as the benchmark because it has a mix of a lot of different damage profiles: raid-wide steady aoe damage, spike aoe damage, pure random target damage, tank and off-tank healing, and burst single target damage. In theory this fight should be significantly favorable to 4T15, but my performance has gone from 180 & 190k the 2 weeks prior to 208k and 222k (world 5th druid, 8th overall hps ranking for public logs) afterwards.
I use 5x normal T16 now, ilvl is ~563.
Some analysis:
- average rejuv tick dropped by 10% (25.9k -> 23.6k) on the week where the change was made. This indicates a long-term loss of 3.5%, as rejuv was generally in the ballpark of 35% of my overall healing. Some of that is made up for by the fact that overheal did drop about 3%, but that may be negligible.
- effloresence tick count dropped almost 25%; overheal stayed generally the same. So this is a loss of ~3.5%, as efflo is generally around 15% of my healing.
- net loss is about 7%.
- T16 bonuses (Spark of Life and any contribution from HT -- I don't cast it outside of significant Sage Mender stacks) accounted for 6-7% of my healing both weeks where I was using the set. Most fights where healing is relevant, it is between 5-7%.
My conclusions after evaluating the set for 2 raids:
- The raw drop in healing contribution from T15 bonuses is approximately 7% (~3.5% from a 10% decrease in rejuv strength, and ~3.5% decrease in efflo)
- T16 bonuses are significant output (6-7%), which directly make up for most of this deficit.
- The rest of the deficit should be and is recovered through higher base stats, including higher spirit allowing me to push harder for longer.
- 2T16 bonus allows for more clutch healing, so has actually tremendous value beyond simply the numbers that it generates.
Ask yourself: why are you so resistant to just trying it yourself and generating your own numbers?
I did, and discovered that not only am I getting better numbers, but I now have a useful mini-cooldown in Sage Mender.
Everything you've said matches my own experiences. I've had the 4p bonus for about a month now, and already I'm finding it hard to imagine healing 10m without it. Everyone who has it who has contributed to this thread has said the same thing - it is more important to have that heal when you need it than extra healing on something that you can't rely on.
No doubt this will be shouted down again, but if you have the opportunity to upgrade, do it. Get a nice weakaura for your sagemender and you'll notice a difference. Perhaps my experiences are different because I heal with a disc priest who doesn't snipe heals for the sake of it, but I've had no problem smashing rankings since obtaining the set.

Interstate Transmission Challenges for Renewable Energy: A Federalism Mismatch
Alexandra B. Klass
University of Minnesota Law School
Elizabeth J. Wilson
University of Minnesota - Center for Science, Technology and Public Policy, Humphrey School of Public Affairs
February 27, 2012
65 Vanderbilt Law Review 1801 (2012)
Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-11
This Article discusses current challenges to siting new electric transmission infrastructure to facilitate the growth of renewable energy. In doing so, this Article focuses on recent legal and policy developments at the federal, state, and regional levels with a specific emphasis on states with significant wind energy potential west of the Mississippi River. In many of these jurisdictions, there has been a strong emphasis on increasing renewable energy resources in recent years, particularly wind power. Each state and regional jurisdiction, however, has taken a different approach to connecting those new renewable resources to the transmission grid that is determined by the jurisdiction's laws governing renewable energy; state and local laws governing the siting of electric transmission lines; the jurisdiction's relationship to a state or regional transmission grid; and the presence of federal lands in the transmission corridor. The overlapping state, regional, and federal policies at play in siting new transmission to facilitate the growth of renewable energy raises unique federalism challenges. By comparing and contrasting the different jurisdictional approaches and outcomes, this Article is able to analyze the extent to which current statutory and regulatory frameworks for transmission are posing barriers to further renewable energy growth and provides suggestions for policy improvements in this area. This Article ultimately concludes that some federal preemption of state siting authority for interstate transmission lines is desirable but may not be politically feasible at the present time. In the alternative, however, states and regional transmission organizations can take advantage of existing regional structures and cost allocation opportunities to better plan for and site the transmission build out necessary to meet renewable energy goals.

I had these on a 1976 Datsun 280z. These tires contributed to the collision I had in said car. Late summer morning, sunny, dry, cool road. Had to slow down quickly due to getting cut off, and the wheels locked up, causing the car slid like it was on ice, no squeal or noise. This was with maybe 5000km on the tires. Worse in wet weather: ANY wet road surface will cause hydroplaning. If you want a decent touring all season tire, get cooper cs5's. Much better tire for the money.

"I only put the shoes on and didn't walk around in them so I can't comment on comfort. The embellishments on these shoes have to be the cheapest looking things I have ever seen. Don't waste your money. I exchanged them the first chance I got. If you're considering buying these and they have them in your local store please actually go and look at them before you purchase.

"I got it in gold. It looks great on. I normally wear 8.5 and ordered it in my size, fits well. It was a bit much for just another pair of flat sandals, but they are well made and look very "goddess- like" on your feet. I'm happy with the purchase, curious about the teal shade too... I've worn them all weekend and love seeing how they sparkle."

The Canucks and Lebron, Together at Last
Thomas Drance
November 24 2011 12:01PM
There are some uncanny similarities between Lebron James, and the Vancouver Canucks. Both made the finals and lost this year, both Lebron and the Canucks (led by their goaltender Lebrongo) are reputed to be "choke artists" despite being really good at what they do, and both are almost universally reviled. Of course, there are also some key differences, like the fact that Lebron took his talents to South Beach, whereas the Canucks take talent out of South Beach - but that's a minor quibble with the overall applicability of this drawn out comparison...
Well now the Canucks and Lebron James have been formally united in a pretty wicked looking pair of kicks. ABT from a sneaker-blog called LRJ23 (that is dedicated to customizing Lebron James sneaker designs) is apparently a massive Canucks fan. He's also designed a Nike iD Lebron 9 in Canucks colours as an homage to the team he loves (and we also are rather fond of). No word yet on whether or not they increase ones propensity for falling down at the slightest hint of contact, or make the wearer crave the sweet taste of human flesh - but we'll update the post as we find out more.
All kidding aside, the results from ABT's customization are mint. Regardless of ones team loyalties, you have to admit that ABT has produced one gorgeous pair of sneakers. Go ahead and safely file these under "WANT!"
Here are some more Nike iD Lebron 9 Canucks themed design concepts from ABT:

Those are some sweet kicks.

for those of you who are familiar, how far does the video go in the development of the pup. It is quite pricey and also wanted to know if it is worth the $$$
Hopefully someone can post the contents or something to let you know how far it goes.
I'll say this about the $$$...
Buying a quality product and getting the right start for your pup at $129 is so much cheaper than fixing problems that develop from trying to save money with inferior or less complete products.
A quality training program is an investment in your puppy.
Plus, you can likely sell the think used in a few months for $90-100. So net cost will be $30-40. Think about it.
Yes, it is quite pricey, but the value is in its ability to reach this point and stiil have "ALL" the dog there that you began with............
my pup is 13weeks. been working with her but looking for a solid system. is it too late to start her on this
The Hillman puppy training video brings the pup up to doing steady doubles.And lays the foundation for force fetch.You will have a nice dog on completion without any negative issues .Well worth the money..
I just ordered it from what i hear its worth every dime
I am about 2 weeks into it with my pup who will be 4 months next week! She has been doing fantastic and I really like the program! If the pup does not pick up on a days lesson just repeat it and work at your own pace as it is not a race! I can throw a mark and my pup won't move till released! No pressure at all just fun learning for the dog! Worth the money and can resell as mentioned!!! Really looking forward to getting into basics with this pup as he will be more than ready!
Just ordered it... I guess if i'm going to do this myself no sense skimping on the most important part... Still less than half of one month with a trainer:)
Got the complate set for Chtistmas from my wife.
Looking forward to trying it with the new puppy this spring.
Everyone I have talked to about the program has spoken highly of it.

A Look at the Best CBC Pregame Montages
Jeff Angus
May 02 2013 10:35AM
Ray Ferraro, Chris Cuthbert, and the rest of the TSN crew did a phenomenal job calling Game 1. Ferraro is one of the best colour guys in the business, while CBC likely rues the day they let Cuthbert jump ship over to TSN. That being said, we are now missing out on the awesome CBC montages put together before each game.The music choices are usually phenomenal and work well with the chosen clips. Let's take a look at some of the best Canuck montages from recent years.
Game 5 Round 2 – Canucks vs. Predators from 2011
Song: Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting by Elton John
Great song, and a perfect one for hockey on a Saturday night (which is why it has been used many times before). The actual game intro had a different song (which you can hear later on in the above clip). The Nashville series gets forgotten a bit relative to the other three rounds (for good reason, of course), but it was gritty, intense, and featured two of the world's best goaltenders at the top of their respective games.
A long way from home, Mr. Green Man.I particularly liked this video because of the homage it pays to past Canuck playoff teams from 1982 and 1994.
Highlight: Harold Snepsts making an appearance at the 0:10 mark
Game 1 Round 4 – Canucks vs. Bruins from 2011
Song: Rolling in the Deep by Adele
Great music, and CBC did a great job timing the lyrics to the video, too. For my money, this is the best pregame montage they have put together for any game at any time (obviously Canuck fans will get more out of it than fans of most other teams, though).
Highlight: Lyrics of "through every open door" right as Henrik slides a backhand pass through Antti Niemi's legs over to Burrows. Well done.
Game 3 Round 4 – Canucks vs. Bruins from 2011
Song: Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
Not only is this song incredibly fun to play in Rock Band, but it is one of the only classic rock songs that I actually like (insert hatred comments below). This was one of the last moments of pure joy for Canuck fans during the 2011 run. This was before Aaron Rome hit Nathan Horton, and before the Bruins absolutely thrashed the Canucks in Games 3 and 4. Oh, to be young again.
Highlight: Bobby Orr skating on the Atlantic Ocean. Seriously.
Game 6 Round 4 – Canucks vs. Bruins from 2011
Song: Blow at High Dough by the Tragically Hip
The Hip and hockey, need I say more? OK, Rachel McAdams makes an appearance too. The Canucks had the opportunity to close out the series on this night, but....
These amazing videos are put together by Tim Thompson (who you can find on Twitter @b0undless).
Give Jeff a follow on Twitter (@anguscertified)
Rolling in the Deep by Adele is bar far the best one!
My favorite Canucks montage is vs the Blackhawks intro from 2010.
Such a great classic song, and such an appropriate assemblage of clips both past and present.
The Game 1 VS Boston clip is great too, but alas the memory of that finals stings me so much that I can't really listen to that song anymore. :p
My favorite of all time though is the final Stanley Cup montage from the 2010 season. A large part of it is the epic song, but the video is well done too.
These montages are excellent, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them this year. Hopefully featuring the Canucks!

McMurry Men's Basketball Suffers 61-52 Defeat At Newman
WICHITA, Kansas - The McMurry University men's basketball team suffered their first loss of the season, as they fell, 61-52, to Newman University on Thursday evening. Turnovers proved to be the key as the War Hawks (5-1) committed 23, which led to 20 Newman (6-0) points.
The two programs played a highly competitive first half as the game saw six ties in just the first 11 minutes, with the final tie of the half coming at 19-19 on jumper by Alfred Perez.
The Jets then went on a small, 6-0, run to expand their lead to 25-19, before the lead was cut to two on back-to-back buckets by Kenny Williams and Perez. The lead would then continue to fluctuate between two and six points for the next seven minutes, and the teams went into the half with the Jets leading McMurry, 34-28.
The halftime score marked the first time this season that McM has trailed at the break. The War Hawks were forced into 13 first half turnovers that led to 11 Jets' points. McMurry also shot just 58 percent (7-of-12) from the free throw line, an area which they have excelled at all season.
McMurry opened the second half with a 10-2 run that spanned the first 4:56 of the frame. Williams totaled eight straight to open the half and tied the game at 36-36. Perez then gave McM its first lead of the half, 40-38 with 15:04 left to play.
The two teams would trade baskets with McM matching Newman blow-for-blow to maintain the slim two-point margin. However, a layup by Shamar Acuay, and a three-point shot by Darrell Traylor put Newman back in front, 47-44 with 10:12 left in the contest.
Over the next ten minutes of the game, the Jets would extend the lead to as many as 12 points, before handing the War Hawks a nine-point defeat, 61-52.
Williams had a stellar game for McMurry in the loss, scoring a game-high 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting, while grabbing 10 boards, for his second double-double of the season.
For Newman, Marquis Cuyler led the way with 19 points and Acuay added 16.
Despite McMurry shooting 48 percent from the field in the game, and outrebounding the Jets by 11 over the course of the game, it was free throws (10-of-20) and untimely turnovers that ultimately led to the War Hawks first defeat of the season.
McM will be back in action on Saturday, December 1, when they take on the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith. The contest is scheduled for a 4 p.m. tip-off.

text: Are hunting ethics and traditions being lost? With most of us being adults and raising families are we teaching are kids to respect the outdoors and animals. Are we using traditions and ethics when we hunt? And our we passing them down? Should hunter safety classes be teaching more of this? It has been so long since I took hunters safety I dont remember. I was lucky to hunt a lot with my grandpa who had the upmost respect for the outdoors and all that came with it. But I feel that in this day and age that is being lost. How many people hunt just to kill, or only for the bragging rights. How many times have you heard people laugh when telling a hunting story about shooting legs off and animal getting away. I do not like that attitude at all it is not right and wish those people would not be able to hunt ever again. I would like to hear how you are teaching your kids to respect of the outdoors and to be ethical hunter.

So-called megacap stocks have been attracting more attention lately. But the trouble even for very "tactical" investors is timing the move versus other sectors. It's not as if you can drive a truck through the performance difference between, say, iShares S&P 100 Index Fund (OEF) and SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY).
I'd argue that timing the purchase of a mega-cap fund versus other sizes of the market is something of a fool's errand. Morgan Stanley equity strategists' numbers this week tend to give more evidence for this view:
Here's what it looked like during April on a beta-adjusted basis — a chart that helps explain the recent hubbub about megacaps:
From MS' Adam S. Parker, Brian T. Hayes, Antonio Ortega, Adam J. Gould and Philip Neuhart:
Mega-cap stocks were the only cohort with positive beta-adjusted returns in April (Exhibit 2). Looking back over the past year, there were two reversals in mega-cap performance: they outperformed 6-12 months ago, then underperformed 3-6 months ago, but have outperformed again in the last three months.
On the timing:
The modest spread in performance between mega-, large- and mid-cap over the last 12 months belies the strong dynamics of size during this period. Thus, to obtain any factor alpha from size, one would have needed to be very tactical over the last year, as "cycle" periodicities have been quite short.
And finally on Apple (AAPL), which hasn't been much of a drag on the megacap group lately:
