By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
At the appointed start time for the travel/transportation public hearing for the Emery County Public Lands Council to begin, the line of people waiting to sign in still wound around the lobby. The room was nearly full of concerned residents waiting for their turn to comment on the question from the public lands council. The council is considering sponsoring a lands bill for the San Rafael Swell area similar to the Washington County Land Bill which was recently enacted.
Ray Petersen, director of the public lands council opened the meeting and welcomed everyone to the meeting. He recognized the active volunteers who have been involved from the beginning who were in attendance: Scott Wheeler, Guy Webster, Bruce Wilson, Mark H Williams and LaMar Guymon.
"Three weeks ago we held a public hearing for the travel/transportation portion. Attendance was very sparse, so we are doing it again. We appreciate your attendance," said Petersen.
"I will begin by giving some background on this issue. In 1964, the Wilderness Act was passed which designated several agencies with the directive to inventory public lands. It did not involve Bureau of Land Management lands. In 1976, the Federal Lands Policy Management Act directed the secretary of the interior to inventory BLM lands.
"In 1983, some lands were designated as wilderness study areas. In Emery County, those WSAs are Sid's Mountain, Mexican Mountain, San Rafael Reef, Crack Canyon, Muddy Creek, Devil's Canyon, Desolation Canyon, Turtle Canyon and Horseshoe Canyon. All of these WSAs are Congressionally designated.
"Following this, the new Secretary of the Interior, Bruce Babbitt, contended that all lands that qualified as wilderness were not listed in the inventory. He ordered a reinventory, and this reinventory found an additional 450,000 acres in Emery County, but these were never designated as WSAs," Petersen stated.
Petersen added that no wilderness is yet designated in Emery County and there is no timetable for the WSAs to be designated. Some practical questions used to determine suitability include: Is the area 5,000 acres in size or larger? Or a roadless island? Does the area generally appear to be natural and is human presence relatively unnoticeable? Does the area offer the opportunity for primitive and unconfined recreational activities like camping, hiking, and skiing? Does it provide opportunities for solitude? Does the area contain features of ecological, geological, scientific, or historical significance?
"The reinventory areas have been noted as having one or more of wilderness characteristics," said Petersen. "WSAs are managed to maintain a nonimpairment status. The Red Rock Wilderness Act was introduced by Wayne Owens in the 1980s and has been reintroduced every year since. In those years, the acreage has been expanded to encompass 1.4 million acres, that is 41 percent, of Emery County in addition to what is already designated as WSA," said Petersen. "Our idea is to propose legislation similar to Washington County to finalize the San Rafael Swell. The inventory process is still open, and legislation by Congress would put an end to that process. In Washington County, their legislation has put an end to the reinventory process.
"We, as the public lands council for Emery County, would like to know if the public feels it would be beneficial for Emery County to introduce some legislation to finalize this process and designate the existing WSAs as wilderness and maintain all the use we have in the Swell right now," Petersen concluded.
Guy Webster said, "WSAs do not allow for exceptions. If we go forward with this legislation, we can put in exceptions in wilderness."
Clark Powell, "All the state and national parks in this state take our natural resources. When those are gone, our freedom is gone."
Marlin Sharp, "I represent a group of users that support multiple use of public lands. We need those lands open and want access to those lands."
Cindy Lopez, "We need to ask our commissioners if this county is following the sustainable development policy. If they are, that is part of Agenda 21 from the United Nations. We need to follow our Constitution. We are Americans not global residents."
Rick Whiteside, "I am an off road advocate. I see benefits to bringing the issue to closure. But, I do not see the BLM backing off."
William Sharp, "I belong to a group called the Americans for Freedom on Public Lands. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires equal access for all. Wilderness designation adds to age discrimination. The ADA states all places or recreation must have equal access for all."
Brenda Kalatzes, "My family has owned property near Woodside for more than 65 years. It is on the edge of a WSA. We are now in a contest with the BLM and the Department of the Interior. They are becoming fraudulent over this contest."
Lorin Israelsen, "You are not going to buy those people off with wilderness. They will want to grab more."
Barry Bradley, "I find it very interesting that Washington County got theirs implemented. We need to watch now and see if they keep control. I don't see what it would hurt to do the same in Emery County."
Petersen added, "In all other areas where things like this have happened, Congress has had a tendency not to revisit the issue again."
Bonnie Keele, "In Washington County they are touting their bill. They thought they could live with the results. When the bill got to Washington D.C., and after everyone got through with add ons, the bill was unrecognizable. If you do this, it does not keep the BLM from managing it."
Myrna Anderson, "If this land is designated as Wilderness, they shouldn't be allowed to walk on it either."
Dale Bartholomew, "I have been working with Washington County through their process and I noticed that in Congress, they put things in at the last minute. Be wary of this."
Petersen added, "Emery County has tried legislation in the past pertaining to the Swell, once in 1998 and again in 2000. At the last minute amendments were made to it which the commissioners were not happy with and they pulled it."
Danny Curtis, "We have enough wilderness in the state and national parks. Don't take any more land away from the people. Wilderness is discriminatory in access for everyone."
John Anderson, "I have been to the last six public land council meetings. I don't like wilderness. If it is designated wilderness, there will be no more mineral exploration. I want to voice my opinion. I am against wilderness and wilderness study areas."
Jim Felton, "The Department of the Interior has control of 50 million acres and 20 percent of that is wilderness. Minerals are the second highest source of income for the government."
Petersen informed the group that Emery County has a current land use plan. In this plan it states there is a place for wilderness. Emery County is currently rewriting the general plan.
"Another thing to consider is the presidential designation. Remember the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. We felt the San Rafael was in that mix for consideration and the president chose Grand Staircase/Escalante," said Petersen.
Alan Peterson, "I have been involved with the land use battle for 25 years. I think most of the people in this room are anti-wilderness. The good news is that 64 percent of Utah is public land. And the bad news is that 64 percent of Utah is public land."
Dixie Swasey, "No one has mentioned the historic value of the Swell. I married into a family with a lot of history in the Swell. I don't know the answer, but I do know I want my children, my grandchildren, and my great-grandchildren to be able to visit the historic places of their ancestors."
Chad Booth, "Access needs to be addressed. Access affects everything."
Winston Palmer, "It seems everyone is in favor of accessible lands. The Constitution says the president cannot designate public lands."
Priscilla Burton, "My observations of the Swell are that there are plenty of roads and ATV trails out there. I want my children to be able to go somewhere for solitude. It would be wise to set aside some wilderness."
Guy Webster, "I have been asked to speak for Green River. We want several portions left as is. Personally, I want my grandchildren to have someplace to go."
Chris Brimhall, "In 2008, there were 23 people at the ATV rally. In February of 2009, more than 800 people were in attendance. Last Saturday, the rally at the Capitol was held and nearly 3,500 people show up for the rally. This movement is growing in support."
Paul Anderson, "I am on the board of USA-All and their statement says they can operate under a no net loss approach. They want RS-2477 settled. Some wilderness may be acceptable under certain circumstances."
Marilyn Hadden, "I am very emotional about this issue and we attended the rally last Saturday. We belong to the ATV clubs and USA-All, and in my opinion, they are the best thing that has happened. I am a citizen of Utah and the United States."
Delbert McFarland, "My concern is the need for education out in the communities. Some news media is not reporting correct facts."
Petersen added, "I have received many phone calls and emails on this issue. Much of the concern is due to misinformation. People need to get involved in and attend the public hearings and meetings. The lands council decided this information and proposal needs to be out there. We need to know how the people feel. If we have any support, we will pursue this project. We are finding that most people want something done. The council will not proceed with anything the public does not support."
LaMar Guymon, "In defense of the public lands council and the county commissioners, they are working hard. I have been watching this issue for 30 plus years. Those involved take input from the public and get input from those who show up at the hearings. If people don't show up and let Ray and the council know what you want, and if they do something you don't want, and you didn't comment, it's your own fault."

SCOTUS issues second hit to contraceptive mandate; dissenters claim order rewrites Hobby Lobby
Posted Jul 07, 2014 11:15 am CDT
The U.S. Supreme Court issued an injunction on Thursday allowing a Christian college in Illinois to bypass regulations requiring it to fill out a form noting its religious objections to providing birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
The court acted on an application for an emergency injunction by Wheaton College, which contended that filling out a form and sending it to its health insurer, thereby authorizing the insurer to pay for the contraceptives, makes the college "complicit in grave moral evil."
The court's three female justices dissented, claiming the order undermines confidence in the court because it departs from language in the court's 5-4 contraceptive decision on Monday in the consolidated cases of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Burwell.
The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and SCOTUSblog have coverage. How Appealing links to the order and dissent (PDF) and links to additional coverage.
Religiously affiliated organizations were allowed an exemption from the contraceptive mandate as long as they filled out "EBSA Form 700" for their insurers and third-party administrators noting their religious objections. The court's order on Monday said Wheaton College need not fill out the form as long as it notifies the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in writing that it is a nonprofit group that holds itself out as religious and has religious objections to providing coverage for contraceptive services.
The order said it should not be construed as a decision on the merits. Justice Antonin Scalia concurred in the result.
Lawyer Walter Dellinger, who was solicitor general under President Bill Clinton, told the Times that the order is a second blow to contraceptive coverage after the Hobby Lobby decision last Monday, which held that private corporations were also eligible for an exemption from the requirement when their owners had religious objections.
The majority in Hobby Lobby noted that employees of religious companies wouldn't be left without contraceptive coverage because of the exemption that allows insurers to pick up the cost of coverage.
"Before the Hobby Lobby ruling, women had guaranteed contraceptive coverage as part of their employment health insurance," Dellinger told the Times. "After today, it is clear that their access to contraception is by no means guaranteed given the administrative complexities the court has now imposed upon" the Department of Health and Human Services.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented to Thursday's order in Wheaton College v. Burwell. She was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan.
"After expressly relying on the availability of the religious-nonprofit accommodation to hold that the contraceptive coverage requirement violates [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act] as applied to closely held for-profit corporations, the court now, as the dissent in Hobby Lobby feared it might …, retreats from that position," Sotomayor wrote.
"That action evinces disregard for even the newest of this court's precedents and undermines confidence in this institution," Sotomayor said.
"The court's approach imposes an unwarranted and unprecedented burden on the government's ability to administer an important regulatory scheme," Sotomayor said. She noted the court's order doesn't require the religiously affiliated group to notify HHS of its insurer, and she asked how HHS can determine this information in other cases of religious objections.
"Is HHS to undertake the daunting—if not impossible—task of creating a database that tracks every employer's insurer or third-party administrator nationwide?" Sotomayor asked. "And, putting that aside, why wouldn't Wheaton's claim be exactly the same under the court's newly fashioned system? Either way, the end result will be that a third-party administrator will provide contraceptive coverage. Surely the court and Wheaton are not just objecting to the use of one stamp instead of two in order to avail itself of the accommodation."

Loud... in more ways than one!
"These shoes are so much fun! The wedge is very high but not difficult to walk in. My only complaint is that they are made of a very lightweight plastic-y material and it makes a lot of noise when you walk in them. Hopefully that will go away with a few more wears. I am a solid size 8, ordered an 8, and it fits perfectly."

Simply Lovely
Pros: Sound quality, cost, cool factor
Cons: None to date
I bought this on a recent trip to China (well, when in China do what the Chinese do and buy a valve headphone amp!) after doing some online research. This is my first valve amp but I already owned a Graham Slee headphone amp.
The amp out of the box gives off a good first impression. It is well built and feels solid. The instructions are adequate without ever feeling comprehensive but hey, what do you need to know? Stick the leads in this end and the phones in that and away you go! It is a little bigger than the photos suggested it was but by no means bulky. The volume dial has a good weight to it and the whole thing feels quality.
Once I got it home and installed in my system it was time to see just how good it was. I have done all my listening so far with my trusty HD600s. The impact was immediate. Compared to the Graham Slee amp (which I rate very highly but in a different way) the sense of space and air was amazing. The amp did not need much running in as it had been on display in the shop so I was listening to a more mature presentation from the off. Listening to acoustic material brought more pluck to the guitar and breath to the voices. I could hear Mr Garfunkel standing beside Mr Simon in more focus and almost see the guitar strings being twanged. It was altogether a more relaxed presentation. Moving to more electronic music did reveal slightly less sharp bass and maybe a lack of really deep notes but nothing that was detracting from the overall flow of the music.
I have listened to a wide variety of music styles now through the LD Mk IV and think that acoustic definitely benefits the most. But even the odd Krautrock classic benefited and the new Ultravox album sounded very silky.
I have purchased some higher quality valves than the unit came with (mostly on the advice of others on this forum - thank you to those who have set their research out and offered their advice) so I hope that I can get more improvements in due course. So far I am very pleased and for such a modest outlay! Bargain of the century for me so far.

By ERIC URSICSpokane, Wash.
It is obvious that Romney has been hurt by his religion. Mitt was clearly the best candidate. Among this season's candidates it is undeniable. Aside from his charisma and intelligence, Mitt was the only candidate that attempted to unite the three Republican core factions: social, economic, and foreign policy conservatives. This union has been key to Republicans edging out narrow victories. This fact is plain to insiders such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Ann Coulter who have directly or indirectly endorsed Mitt.
Then we must wonder why he has done so poorly. If creditability was the issue, then why is it not an issue for McCain who has changed on numerous social issues, economic issues, and may have considered running with John Kerry? The reason Mitt's "flip-flopper" status sticks is the subject of a famous Vanderbilt poll which indicated Mormonism, not flip-flopping was the issue. Another widely published gallop poll showed that 27 percent of Republicans would not vote for a qualified Mormon candidate, this was a number much greater than for women or African Americans. This makes Mormons the most discriminated minority in America.
Some claim that we cannot hold Huckabee or McCain accountable. In response, I point out that Huck's official blog (whose comments are edited by campaign staff) allows remarks such as: if we elect Mitt "we might as well elect a witch." In addition, Huck continues to refer to himself as a "Christian leader," implying that Mitt is not, and refusing to classify Mormons as Christians. Huck, a knowledgeable Baptist minister, plays ignorant about anti-Mormon remarks concerning Christ's brother--not to mention Huck's supporters participating in push-polling, anti-Mormon Christmas cards, and spam e-mails. Currently, with no chance of winning, Huck continues to campaign in order to whittle away Mitt the Mormon's voters. When asked about the frontrunner McCain, Huck twists the question into attacks on Mitt. He will soldier on until the day Mitt concedes. Ultimately, the Baptist minister would rather have a social liberal in the White House rather than a Mormon. Who benefits from this anti-Mormon campaign? The grateful McCain who is not worthy of a conservative's vote to begin with.
So who does a conservative Utah Mormon vote for? The answer is clear, Hillary/Obama. First, there is no conservative. Second, the democrats will win. McCain, with the allure of Bob Dole, versus a Hillary/Obama ticket is no contest. Third, any margin of victory will be well beyond Utah's five votes. So let's do something useful. A massive protest vote will garnish national media attention, and we will use this attention to send a message that Mormons deserve more respect and less discrimination. We are Americans, and the republicans cannot rely on Utah to be their lackey anymore.
Some argue that this will show The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a political vehicle, only reaffirming evangelical fears. In that case let this sentinel article refute any affiliation to the LDS Church or Mitt Romney's campaign. Others argue that media attention will not change minds. To this I answer that the media attention has already changed minds. As Mitt's campaign has progressed, the polls have shown a decrease in the number of people with ill feelings toward the LDS Church.
Many minorities focus attention on their respective bigotry, and over time feelings change--nobody likes to be a bigot. One example is the Jewish people; by focusing attention to people's bigotry over time, they have become fully accepted. When Lieberman runs for office there is no "Christian leader" running against him. It is this media attention that keeps Huck fighting Mitt. This Baptist minister knows that Mormonism in the media throughout a Mormon presidency would lead to reconciliation and decrease prejudice.
Utah unite. Like Women's Lib or the Civil Rights Movement, we must protest prejudice. Do you want your children growing up in a country where they can't be president? Vote for Obama/Hillary.

Last weekend, the Emery High wrestling team traveled to the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield and participated against the other 2-A schools in the 2-A divisionals to determine placement at the upcoming 2-A Utah State wrestling championships. Emery finished in fifth place in their division and qualified 15 wrestlers for the state meet.
Emery had two wrestlers make their weight championship match. Cezly Collard at 120 pounds lost to a 2-time state champion to finish second after wrestling a great tournament. Chet Funk won the title in the 170 pound division. Funk had the initial takedown and then gradually built points until he pinned his opponent in the second round. Funk now has a season record of 43-3. Funk was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament in the upper weight classes.
Also qualifying for state were Jason Anderson at 113 pounds, Ryan Cox and Wyatt Oveson at 126 pounds, Paden Wells at 132 pounds, Nagel Viera at 138 pounds, Cole Guymon and Dakota Curtis at 145 pounds, Tyson Stout at 160 pounds, Brett Sorensen at 182 pounds, Ky Jensen and Kenden Huff at 195 pounds and Zach West and Brandon McCandless at 220 pounds.

Cute but didn't fit
"Let me just say that the picture does not do this shoe justice. It is so much cuter in person. I fell in love with it the moment I opened the box. I am disappointed that it did not fit. I ordered my normal size (10) but it was too tight and it is also narrow at the toe (probably because I have wide feet). So I had to return them. I would have went up a size if they had any left but they were out. I would recommend these because they are super cute and stable because of the thick heel. If they have your size, go for it."

Perfect for that little black dress!
"Well worth the price. I have slightly wide feet and these were super comfortable. They fit great from the moment I put them on.Because the back of the shoes hits kind of high, they did need a "heel cushion" that I purchased at a local retail store.They do have a little cushion to them but if you plan on dancing all night, buy some extra padding for the ball of your foot. Love them."

Anna Lena Phillips
Steve Jenkins has written and illustrated nearly 20 picture books for young readers, including the Caldecott Honor-winning What Do You Do with a Tail Like This? (Houghton Mifflin, 2003), with Robin Page. Among his other books are Actual Size (Houghton Mifflin, 2004), an exploration of relative size in the animal world; Next Stop Neptune: Experiencing the Solar System (Houghton Mifflin, 2004), with his father, astronomer Alvin Jenkins; and most recently, Living Color (Houghton Mifflin, 2007), about coloration in the animal world. With captivating illustrations and lively text, Jenkins's books help children to explore science and nature.
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Throughout my childhood, I planned to be a scientist. I raised spiders, reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. I collected rocks and fossils and played with microscopes and chemistry sets. I somehow ended up going to art school, however, and have worked for the past 30 years as a graphic designer and illustrator. When my first two children were born about 20 years ago, I became interested in creating children's books. I was drawn to nonfiction, specifically books about the natural world. I spend about half my working time making children's books, many of them collaborations with my wife and partner, Robin Page.
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure? Why did you choose them, and what do you think of them?
I read mostly nonfiction, with the occasional novel thrown in for R&R. I also start a lot of books that I don't finish. I used to feel guilty about this, but I realize that if a book is worth my time, I eventually get around to finishing it.
Right now I'm reading Peter Watson's Ideas: A History of Thought and Invention, from Fire to Freud (HarperCollins, 2005). It's brilliant and engaging, but so dense (in content, not style) that I have to read it in installments. Also, The Architecture of Happiness, by Alain de Botton (Pantheon, 2006). It's a look at how the spaces in which we live and work evolved and how they affect us. The Universe and the Teacup: The Mathematics of Truth and Beauty (Harcourt, 1998) is a collection of essays on mathematics by K. C. Cole. It's entertaining and easy to digest. I just started Steven Pinker's The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature (Viking, 2007), about language and consciousness. I'm rereading Richard Dawkins's Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion, and the Appetite for Wonder (Houghton Mifflin, 1998), a lucid and coolly passionate argument for a scientific worldview. I'm also rereading J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy aloud to my nine-year-old son and greatly enjoying it. The other most recent fiction I've read is Cormac McCarthy's The Road (Knopf, 2006)—powerful and beautiful, but a book that made me happy to get back to nonfiction.
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)?
Either at night before falling asleep or, if it's research for a book I'm writing, anytime during the day. Airports and airplanes are also great places to read.
Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why?
Fiction (lately): John le Carré, Richard Ford, Cormac McCarthy. I guess I like somewhat dark writers—or, in the case of Ford, writers with whose neuroses I identify. Nonfiction: Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, John McPhee, Stephen Jay Gould. These writers all have a palpable passion for science, a gift for writing clearly and simply, and real respect for their readers.
What are the three best books you've ever read? Explain.
This is a tricky one. "Best" has meant different things at different points of my life. The fact is, the books that moved me the most—the definition I'll assume for "best"—were read in my childhood or teens. So: All About Strange Beasts of the Past by Roy Chapman Andrews, illustrated by Matthew Kalmenoff (1956); Hiroshima, by John Hersey (1946); and William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury (1929). I'm sure Andrews's prose would make me wince now, but as a child I was completely absorbed by his account of searching for fossils in Mongolia. Hersey gave me a profoundly different perspective on war, which was still mythologized in America in that pre-Vietnam era. And Faulkner blew my mind, using language to show me the world through the eyes of someone very, very different.
What book has influenced you most? Explain how.
D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's On Growth and Form (1917). I discovered it in college, and reading it was like pulling back a veil covering the natural world and seeing the beauty, order and logic beneath.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.
Right now this seems like a "what would you do if you won the lottery" sort of question. I'd like to reread some of the authors (more than three, for sure) whom I read many years ago and sort of crossed off my list—Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner. I'm sure that 30 or 40 years of living will have given me a completely different perspective on their work.
What books would you recommend to young readers?
I certainly wouldn't discourage children from reading nonfiction (or anything else, excepting pornography and Bill O'Reilly)—but I think science fiction is an underappreciated way to nurture a child's interest in science. Based on my own reading, much of it aloud to my own children, I think Arthur C. Clarke, Orson Scott Card and Madeleine L'Engle are excellent—along with Robert Heinlein and Neal Stephenson (who are best, perhaps, for not-quite-so-young readers).
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?
Well, I'm a nonscientist myself. I'd suggest Richard Dawkins's The Blind Watchmaker (W. W. Norton and Co., 1988) and The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan (Random House, 1996). Both do an admirable job of dismantling widely accepted pseudoscientific ideas. More importantly, they illustrate clearly and elegantly the way science works, and how it gives us a way to formulate and test ideas about what we see and experience in the world.
Name one book in your discipline that you would recommend for scientists outside your field. Explain your choice.
In writing for children I'm constantly facing the problem of how to communicate scale—the enormous ranges of size, distance and time that explain so much about our universe. Philip and Phylis Morrison's Powers of Ten: A Book about the Relative Size of Things in the Universe and the Effect of Adding Another Zero (W. H. Freeman and Co., 1983), based on the Charles and Ray Eames film, is probably familiar to most scientists, but the elegance of its execution makes it worth another look.

Canucks get 30-day extension from AHL to find farm-team arena for next season; Seattle in the mix?
Patrick Johnston
May 14 2013 12:50PM
KeyArena, possible AHL venue? (photo: paulyb/wikimedia commons)
As reported by the Vancouver Sun's Brad Ziemer, the Canucks have been granted an extended deadline to decide on what they are going to do with their AHL franchise.
Yesterday Drance picked up a Dave Eminian report on the strong possibility that the Canucks could allow their franchise to go dormant for the 2013-14 season, but the deadline extension is a new wrinkle to the story.
Read past the jump.
Ziemer spells out the two options available to the Canucks:
The Canucks really have two choices to make regarding the Peoria Rivermen franchise they purchased earlier this year. After deciding against leaving the team in Peoria for the 2013-14 season, they must either find a new home for the team or they can pay the AHL a $150,000 fee and have the league declare the franchise dormant for one year.
That latter option is the least palatable one for the Canucks as it would mean the team would have to scatter its prospects around the AHL and have them playing under a variety of different systems and coaches, outside their sphere of influence.
Given the infferred frustrations the Canucks had with the Chicago Wolves affiliation over the past two seasons, you'd figure the Canucks would far prefer to have a proper team in place for next season.
Zeimer also picked up some interesting quotes from Scott Arniel, who served as the Wolves' coach this past season.
"You know, these conversations started a while ago and it has gone everywhere from Abbotsford, to Rogers Arena, to Peoria. to who-knows-where," Arniel said in a phone interview Monday. "Obviously you want to get an answer soon and get organized. The players will have been in three different cities in three years -- the guys who were in Winnipeg and Chicago and now to a new city -- so you do want some stability that way. It's a tough decision, but I know the Canucks are working towards getting their own team somewhere and have a spot where they can groom their young players."
Arniel went on to say that he thinks "something is going to get done."
The option of having the AHL Canucks play at Rogers Arena or any other Lower Mainland arena is likely out of the question, as they are within the Heat's territorial limits, Ziemer noted.
From a business standpoint, putting the farm team in downtown Vancouver makes sense - it's another chance for Canucks Sports and Entertainment to draw money and in some ways, having a nearby, easy-to-travel-to rival might be appealing for the Heat. But you've got to believe that the Heat would fear losing a portion of their already-small fan base.
So, what are the options? Peoria is out, some have bandied about past AHL locales like Utica, NY. This morning, Wolves broadcaster Jason Shaver pondered on Twitter about Seattle:
Canucks have options...Seattle would be best location, close to home, travel partner w/ Heat. But until NBA determines Kings fate they wait.— Jason Shaver (@theshaves) May 14, 2013
KeyArena is a crap venue for NHL hockey (the rink pad is off-centre, leaving the scoreboard over one end, not centre ice), but for an AHL venue, selling just in the lower bowl, it could do ok...
May 14 2013, 01:14PM
As a Seattle resident, yes please.
Seattle makes sense, even if its short term. This team will probably end up in Abbotsford. The Canuck haters like to dump on Gillis for not having this in place before buying this AHL franchise in Peoria. What about Calgary though? Don't they see the writing on the wall? Would Vancouver's farm team really be viable in greater Calgary? Now the few fans of the Heat are really going to continue to support the team when they know their hometown NHL team is waiting in the wings to bring their farm team there? Maybe Feaster is the one who should get the grief over this situation, not Gillis.
I could see the Canucks putting money into the arena. Seattle would be great.
As a Canuck fan, there is much better ammunition with which to criticize Mike Gillis and the Canucks than this latest issue.
Such as MG's middling-at-best transaction record in 5 years; and the fact that he would leave very little to build upon for the next GM if he were fired tomorrow. You know, other than Burke & Nonis players.
The most troubling part of all of this is that Aquillini purchased an AHL team in all likelihood because he still believes in Gillis' plan to invest in player development.
Where is the return on this investment? Personally, I don't care if Aquillini makes a little less profit. But how can he be so complacent in all of this?
His hockey understanding appears to not go too far beyond looking at the standings on NHL.com.
He fired a GM in Nonis who was building the franchise properly and replaced him with a guy who has shown zero ability to build a sustainable contender.
The hate is warranted.
Hey I'm not saying Gillis doesn't have his warts, every GM does. All I'm trying to say is he isn't the idiot that a lot of people like to portray him as. I don't think he's done that bad of a job. Do you really think we would have made it to the finals without some of the guys he brought in? Higgins, Lappierre, Torres and Malhotra were all important parts. His draft record isn't the greatest, but with constantly drafting high in the first round he has gotten Schroeder, Jensen and Gaunce who look like they will be regular NHLers one day. He also got Corrado in a later round who, many have said, was one of the best defencemen in the OHL this year. He signed Tanev and Lack to free agent contracts. He brought in Hamhuis and Garrison on cap friendly contracts as well. Oh and don't be so sure about Nonis...remember Patrick White! At least Gillis turned him and Burke's Nathan Smith into Ehrhoff.
You talk specifically about key arena, but there are better options.
Right now, the Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL) play in Kent in the ShoWare center, which is actually a really nice facility and would work well for AHL games.
Another option, again sharing with a WHL team, is to go north of Seattle and share Comcast Arena with the Everett Silvertips. I think this is slightly bigger then ShoWare.
Either way, two more options for playing hockey.
Agreed, Gillis legacy so far is the Ballard Trade and the Luongo Saga.
The only good trade he's made was for Ehrhoff. David Booth's would be good if he could stay healthy, but since we lost nothing to bring him here, it stands as an ok trade.
The prospect cupboards are rather bare. But we also must mention that Nonis draft recored as pretty horrid as well. Over-all Gillis has been equal or only slightly better in that area.
The team's cap management has been the major success of Gillis team, but most of the credit goes to Laurence Gilman, the man who I think should be the next GM of the Canucks.
The team definitely needs a "reset" or "rebuild" in it's scouting department. While they have been able to find a few diamonds in the rough, over-all they have tried too hard to find these hidden gems, missing out on some obvious talent.
May 14 2013, 03:07PM
Me thinks these NHL & AHL rules are stupid and outdated. Get a rule-exemption and have the Heat and the Canucks AHL team share the Abbotsford arena for a season (or so). Brings down the tax expenses for the people of Abbotsford too!
I mean, if AC Milan and Inter Milan can do it, so should two farm teams for the NHL… Oh, for the uninitiated, those are 2 professional soccer teams in the Italian league. And trust me… those supporters hate each other, yet the organizations can share one soccer temple!
you could have used a better reference at least based in NA like the Jets and Giants sharing metlife stadium in NY/NJ.
but the comparision just doesn't work with 2 minor league teams surviving from a small market like Abbotsford. it only makes sense for a mega markets for big league teams.
Are you serious?
You are cherrypicking one failed Nonis pick (White) while being oblivious to Gillis' failures. And, worst of all, ignoring the bounty Nonis left for Gillis.
He left Schneider, Edler, Bourdon (RIP), Raymond, Hansen & Grabner. And Nonis didn't have high picks, either.
Not to mention the terrible trades for Kassian, Booth & Ballard.
He's made one great trade (Ehrhoff). Any Canuck GM could have signed local boys Hamhuis & Garrison.
Beyond that, it's easy to point to guys like Tanev, Torres & Higgins. But these are depth guys. The ENTIRE core (2 goalies, top 4 D, top 4 F) is comprised of Burke/Nonis, Nonis & BC born players.
And Gillis looks set to give away the best goalie in franchise history instead of trading away the younger, cheaper goalie with much better trade value.
Show me the "good" part of Gillis. It's been a couple of good moves and a number of bad ones. And it's getting worse as he starts making moves to save his job (see Derek Roy trade).
You are massively overrating cap management as a skill.
You need the right players at the right age to be able to sign to good contracts. Gillis inherited that and many of the contracts looked good at one point. Not anymore.
Spending $9.33 on two goalies, $4.2 million on a #6/7 defenseman, $4.25 million on an oft-injured winger and $4.5 million (starting next season) on a solid but unspectacular player with a knack for taking penalties are all questionable at best.
Hence, the Nux will be active in the buyout and contract dump game.
Finally, Gillis has been massively worse at drafting/developing than Nonis. He hasn't produced a single NHL regular other than Kassian (via Hodgson) through his draft picks.
That's after 5 years (Nonis had 4 and the Bourdon tragedy). And Kassian may need more AHL time just like he did this season.
Underwhelming to say the least.
So KeyArena in Seattle is an option but what about the Comcast Arena in Everett? I'm not sure about what the arena looks like but they used it as a venue for the 2012 Pacific Rims Gymnastics Championships and from what I saw on TV of the arena, it looked like a pretty good venue. What do you think?
May 14 2013, 04:41PM
@ Mantastic
Maybe that's because I'm Dutch and moved here only 5 years ago! ;-) So lot's of European sports "knowledge" and not so much NA!
that makes sense. if you've been to the Abby, you know you can't compare it to Milan at all. just to let you know ;).
I guess you wouldn't be happy with any GM unless he made all the right moves all the time. I'm not oblivious to Gillis' failures. I admitted that his drafting hasn't been the best, but when you start comparing guys who were drafted years ago to recent drafts the point kinda loses merit. Draft picks take time to develop. What would you say later if the Canucks were to fire Gillis now then Gaunce and Jensen become stars in a few years. Would you get on the new GM because he didn't draft as well as Gillis?
May 14 2013, 05:52PM
44 years of losing never gets tiring, does it?
"I guess you wouldn't be happy with any GM unless he made all the right moves all the time."
Please. Try. Harder.
Factoring out the relatively meaningless moves that all GMs make, I expect a GM of a big market cap team to make more good moves than bad. Otherwise what is the point of having him as GM?
Mike Gillis has simply not added value with his transactions to the core he inherited. I repeat, show me his good moves aside from the ones I have already mentioned. There certainly haven't been many significant ones.
"What would you say later if the Canucks were to fire Gillis now then Gaunce and Jensen become stars in a few years."
I would be thrilled. But these guys would also be beating the odds. Edler, Schneider & Hodgson were all top 50 prospects in the industry before they became impact NHLers. Bourdon was as well.
There is a correlation between being highly regarded within the industry and NHL success (the draft is one example). There are exceptions (like Detroit for a long time). But Gillis hasn't done anything, espescially with his first 3 drafts which are certainly old enough to evaluate, to make me believe the Canucks will be an exception during his reign as GM.
The Canucks don't have top prospects and they have a poor farm system. Find me an objective source such as Hockey's Future, The Hockey News or Hockey Prospectus that thinks highly of the Canucks farm system. You can't.
In fairness, Gillis has had mostly low picks. But he hasn't used them well It's a big reason he had to trade two good assets to get Derek Roy for a few games.
Not to mention the picks wasted on Bernier, Alberts, Ballard etc.
Not to mention getting poor returns for Grabner, Hodgson and, in all likelihood, Luongo.
I love the Canucks. And I want a GM who can build a sustainable contender. That means good drafts and trades. Exactly what Nonis did and Gillis has failed to do.
@ricky steamboat
Oh believe me I do tire of the losing. It was heartbreaking to see them lose the cup final. I just tend to give the Canucks my full support. This early start to the off season sucks. Oh well, at least Leaf fans know the feeling.
May 14 2013, 09:10PM
Ageed, 10000 percent. With GM's like Gillis , you don't need opponents. Nonis isn;t doing too well over in TO either, as both Burkes teams have self destructed. Gotta give cedit to Gillis for somehow finding a way to make the Sedin siters team even more implosive.
May 14 2013, 09:14PM
Well, your heart should have predicted it, after all when losing becomes the norm, it's time to stop supporting losers. I bet you wouldn't put your life savings in a "Bank of Canucks."
losing is corrected by the whip, not by unaccountability.
Great article.
All I can say is, they better not go dormant. It would be a collosal diaster having prospects all over the country in different systems, coaches ad locations. The NHL teams prospects get priority - Nucks prospects would be left in the dust. Not to mention they coudln't bond. It'd be a disaster.
Aquilini better make this work or we're gonna oust him as an owner.
Why anybody doesn't see Atlanta as an option, I wonder? It's pretty close to most AHL teams locations, has an NHL facility (Philips Arena) and some hockey hungry people. I know its too far away from VAN, but its an option in AHL traveling.
Can they put one in Calgary?
If we're talking co-location with a WHL team, what about Victoria? Not sure if this city could support an AHL team and the Royals, but it might work as a parking spot until Abby gets sorted out.
Why not look to other markets within BC? Why not look at places like Victoria, Kelowna, or Kamloops? All three places have decent sized arenas that are used for the WHL and all three places have airports that could easily shuttle players in and out of town. The only concern I could see is the baby Canucks would probably put a dent in the huge Junior hockey market in those cities but I think all 3 cities should get a reasonable look.

LIA presents awards to Nobel Prize winners
A pair of Nobel Prize winners received awards at the Laser Institute of America's 29th annual International Congress on Applications of Lasers and Electro-Optics (ICALEO®) in Anaheim, Calif., in September.
VU.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, 62, earned LIA's 2010 Arthur L. Schawlow Award, while laser pioneer Dr. Charles Hard Townes, 95, was presented with the organization's first Lifetime Achievement Award. Both received standing ovations after their presentations at the Sept. 29 awards luncheon.
Townes, who shares a patent for the laser with his late brother-in-law and fellow Nobel Prize winner Schawlow, told of how two Nobel Prize-winning professors senior to him tried to dissuade him from continuing his early research. He also recalled how the equations necessary to create lasers occurred to him as he sat on a park bench during a conference five decades ago.
Chu shared recollections of having been Schawlow's student, discussed the particulars of his work (cooling and trapping atoms using a laser), and emphasized his belief in the need to develop a carbon-constrained economy.
LIA, Orlando, Fla., is the professional society for laser applications and safety serving the industrial, educational, medical, research and government communities.

very cute, not so comfy
"the shoes run short so you have to buy a half size larger than normal, but that causes the shoe to slide off when you walk. When trying a smaller size they still slide off. Too bad, for me."

Not very comfy.
"I expected these to be a little comfortable, sort of like slippers I can walk outside in every once in a while, but they are not at all. They look like they're very padded from the inside being all fluffy, but as soon as you stick your foot in them, the puff flattens out and is just like walking on rubber. They also seem to run a little long and slip off a little (not all the way) whenever my foot isn't flat."

They Go Both Ways
"I bought these shoes because they were so different and I liked them so much I bought myself another pair in a different style. I didn't stop there either; I bought my sister-in-law a pair too. These shoes are so cute and the sole is sturdy enough to wear outside the house. They really don't look like a house shoe! I wear them all the time with skinny jeans and a top. I have lost count of the people that have stopped me and commented on my shoes. They do have all the comforts of a house shoe just disguised. Cute, unique, fun, fashionable I love my Rocket Dogs in the house and outside the house!"

A collection of independant storefront retailers that sell and service Lipsey's Exclusive Firearms. They have been verified by Lipsey's to be legitimate businesses that stock an assortment of guns and provide a high level of customer service.
You will be redirected to Lipseys.com.
The Gen 4 GLOCK 21 is considered by some to be the best 45 ACP GLOCK pistol yet. Now you can have one with a Flat Dark Earth frame exclusively through Lipsey's.
The Lipsey Exclusive Flat Dark Earth Gen 4 GLOCKs are the first Gen 4's to feature a different color frame. None were offered in the OD Green color like the Gen 3 guns. The Gen 4 pistols include a third magazine as well as two additional backstraps that can increase the grip size of the pistol. The Gen 4's also feature a reversible magazine catch that has a larger button for easier magazine changes. The grip also has more aggressive texturing on the Gen 4 pistols without being too abrasive. Lastly, the Gen 4 models feature a double recoil spring assembly that reduces the muzzle rise while firing making for quicker splits between shots.
GLOCK revolutionized the handgun market with the debut of their polymer frame safe action semi-auto pistols in 1982. To this day, GLOCK is the brand that all other polymer pistols are judged by. For most of GLOCK's product life you could have it any way you wanted as long as it was black. There were some OD Green frame Gen 3 guns produced for several years, but they have been discontinued since mid 2010. Now you have a choice of having your GLOCK with a Flat Dark Earth frame exclusively through Lipsey's. Flat Dark Earth has been the popular color to have for AR-15 parts and accessories, holsters, and all sorts of tactical gear.

Benitez: Roman relationship fine
Rafael Benitez has insisted his relationship with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is "really good" despite his rant on Wednesday night.
- Related Content
Benitez has hogged Thursday's headlines following his rant criticising Blues supporters and the club's decision to give him the title of interim manager.
The Blues boss launched an impassioned monologue following the holders' 2-0 FA Cup win at Middlesbrough, which set up a quarter-final tie with Manchester United, and the criticism sparked suggestions his tenure in caretaker charge could come to an end as soon as Thursday.
The comments are unlikely to have gone down well with Abramovich and the Blues board, but Chelsea insisted it was "business as usual" at their Surrey training base, where Benitez took training.
The Spaniard, who has confirmed he will leave Chelsea at the end of season, is expected to be given at least one more match in charge when West Brom visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday and will hold the pre-match media conference as scheduled on Friday afternoon.
"My relationship with the owner is really good," Benitez told BBC's Football Focus. "Every time I talk to Abramovich about football, I enjoy (it).
"I know that he wants to win. I'm here because he wants to win and I will try to do my best until the last day.
"The relationship is fine. I don't have any problem with anyone.
"I have conversations with Michael Emenalo, the technical director, every single day. He watches the training sessions, we talk about football and when I meet Roman Abramovich, we talk about football.
"We talk like normal people. We share a passion for football."
Reports of dressing room unrest, including a dispute with captain John Terry, have been played down and Benitez is adamant there are no major concerns.
"My relationship with the staff, the people at Cobham, is really good, fantastic," Benitez added. "The players are fully behind our ideas, 100%."

Hi Patty,
I'm sorry to hear about you loss.

Hope you had a good Christmas and are starting off well in the new year. My Mom, 92, was taken to the ER on Dec 16th, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for a few days, then transferred to the Acute Care Unit and finally to our local Rehab Facility on Dec 23rd, where she is now. She is doing well with therapy. We had a Care Planning Meeting last Monday. They told us it looks like, based on her progression, she will be sent home in a couple of weeks. Please keep us all in your prayers. Thanks again for your visits. Your comments are greatly appreciated. My condolences on your loss. God Bless

Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Yeah its original at least. I'm guessing the machine is some kind of weather controller.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
To be honest, i don't like any filler... it drags the story so much that it's almost annoying.
The 3 tails and the Utakata (6 tails) arcs were so long and boring, just to show Akatsuki collecting the bijuu's.
Good reference Paul, the first thing that came to my mind when you refereed Yamata no Orochi, was the Shaman King manga
In a little side note, while i never searched the web for this subject, i found some references to the names of some doujutsu.
In Japonese mythology, Yamata no Orochi was slain by storm-god Susanoo who was expelled from Heaven for tricking his sister, the sun-goddess, Amaterasu
So in a little joke, the left and right eyes are truly and meaningfully related and connected to each other by the heavens

I don't really like the bundled Notes mobile or the other notetaking apps in the market, so I had to write my own At this point I have all basic features implemented and it might be useful to others. Here is the Android Market link (or search for "com.write.quill"). One buck for the convenience of download/updates from the market, or get the apk for free from google code. Copy&paste of the market description:
Handwriting note-taking app for Android tablets (Honeycomb). A key design goal is quick response to pen strokes and 100% vector graphics. Developed on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet.
The initial release is only tested on a ThinkPad Tablet. The basic functionality should work on any Android tablet, but distinguishing pen from finger data and pressure sensitivity might not work on others. Please let me know your results if you try it on another tablet.
You can also get the app for free (as in free speech) at http://code.google.com/p/android-quill

Very impresive little app.
A few things that would make it great for me, but which might not be in your design goals and if not fair enough. Also maybe difficult. I figure you would have done the first one already if it was easy.
One, real time pressure sensitivity. Not being able to see it as I go defeats the purpose.
Secondly the ability to save jpg or png files of wherever the screen is like a screen grab.
Other than that? Epic, and thanks for sharing!
Very nice indeed. The writing experience is the best of the apps that I tried. Thanks for coding and sharing.
However, for daily use, I miss two features
Seems like the Xournal!
Forgot to mention my TODO list of things to come (though you noted it already)
I think tagging pages would be more useful than separate notebooks - the latter isn't that great a metaphor on a computer. I like to move pages around and/or add them to multiple "notebooks". Also, auto-tag by geographic location..

Not sure what you mean - right now you have to switch between 2 different pens / move-zoom / erase using the icons in the action bar. The "Pen only" applies only to the pens, not to move-zoom and erase modes.
Again, free version is here http://code.google.com/p/android-quill/downloads/
Edit: changed the link to point to the download page and not to the previous version of the apk

text: (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Seriously, though, it's great to see someone your age trying to work a look that doesn't involve baggy shorts that hang down to his butt crack. I throw my vote in with those who've advised you to swap out suits for SCs and blazers (just for the time being, that is) and to move away from the gangster vibe. An easy way to do that is by putting dark ties on light shirts instead of light ties on dark shirts. I also want to see a little shirt cuff poking out of each jacket sleeve next time you post here, young man.
