Tom Renney Joins The Detroit Red Wings
Jonathan Willis
July 05 2012 01:04PM
Red Wings announce the hiring of Tom Renney as an associate coach. 3 year deal. Good things happen to good people. Good hire.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) July 5, 2012
As it turns out, former Edmonton Oilers head coach Tom Renney wasn't out of work for very long. As per Darren Dreger's report above, the Detroit Red Wings have hired him on a three-year deal which will see him serve as Mike Babcock's associate coach.
This sounds like a similar deal to the one taken by Renney with the Oilers organization. Back in the summer of 2009, it was Edmonton signing Renney to a three-year deal to be the associate coach to Pat Quinn. The difference, of course, is that Renney took the helm a year into his deal, whereas one would imagine that Mike Babcock is a little more secure in Detroit than Quinn was with the Oilers.
Renney's time in Edmonton was undoubtedly less successful than he would have liked, as he guided the team through successive rebuilding years on the heels of the disastrous 2009-10 season. Even so, his Oilers made big strides last season - particularly in the goal differnetial department - and Renney's major league resume remains fairly solid.
Occasionally criticized for a lack of passion, Renney always came across as a class act, and especially so in his departure from the organization this summer. It's nice to see him land with a quality organization - even if it is one that looks to have a few challenges next season.
Renney has worked previously with Babcock for Hockey Canada. Babcock was the head coach of the team that won gold at the World Championships in 2004; Renney served as his assistant. Renney is replacing Jeff Blashill from last year's staff; Blashill will coach Detroit's farm team in Grand Rapids.

Wow! Good for Tom!
from wikipedia......
Detroit Red Wings Accepting an assistant coaching position with the Red Wings on July 5, 2012, Renney is expected to be primarily responsible for the penalty kill. He is secretly planning to orchestrate a trade between the Wings and his former club in Edmonton which would send the Red Wings Shawn Horcoff, Ales Hemsky and Ryan Whitney in exchange for Brendan Smith.

Way to go Renney, cannot keep a good man down!
July 05 2012, 01:20PM
Good for Renney. I can't help but feel he was hired as sort of a fall guy in Edmonton so it's good to see him bounce back.
July 05 2012, 01:27PM
Good for Renny.
But it makes me think, he's good enough for lowly Detroit, but not good enough for Edmonton?
July 05 2012, 01:28PM
Good for Tom. I always thought he was a class act and am glad to see him land on his feet.
Nice to see Tambi's scapegoat land on his feet right away..
Very happy to hear this. The Red Wings usually surround their staff with good hockey minds and good people, so it is a good fit.
That sounds like a good fit! Congrats Tom!
Does this mean that Detroit is planning a Rebuild!!!!??????
Congratulations Tom. I hope that this stop works out well for you and you enjoy a return to playoff hockey in 2012-13.
As an aside, I remember when the Oilers played a split squad game in Saskatoon in September 2011 against Chicago and Tom was on the bench prior to warmup signing every autograph that was asked of him. Class act all the way. That was also the game where Ryan Smyth threw about 10 pucks into the stands during the warmup to the kids in the lower deck.
Fans ran Renney out of town. I remember people saying Renney has to go. Now that he's gone, the Oilers are getting bashed again. What else is new?
July 05 2012, 02:29PM
Good for Tom! Thanks for doing a great job working with the kids last year!
July 05 2012, 02:31PM
Fans ran Renney out of town. I remember people saying Renney has to go. Now that he's gone, the Oilers are getting bashed again. What else is new?
The oilers will continue to get bashed until we land our star Defenceman and Goaltender. We have a few in the pipes, but probably still a year or two away. The only upside to the coaching change is now maybe we will see some toughness and retaliation for running the kids. Too often un the past two years did we see no toughness when the kids got run over, and if we did, it was from Smid or Gagner.
Personally I still think we made the right decision in letting Tom go in favor of Ralph but I think a lot of the developmental things that Renney did for the young players will help this team greatly going forward.
It's just that most rebuilds are done in phases and more often then not when a team wants to take it to the next level they look to a new voice to bring in these changes. Chicago, Washington and Pittsburgh all went through multiple coaches in their successful rebuilds.
Tom Renney more then anything was just another victim of the proven rebuild formula. Really though I can't think of a more perfect situation for Renney then being second in command of the Redwings bench. The Wings do have some new challenges ahead of them but this hire should help ease some of those obstacles.
Best of luck Tom & thanks for doing a great, yet under appreciated job here with this young team.
I wonder if Tambellini will land on his feet as quickly when the Oilers tie the can to him?????
I was and still am a fan of Tom Renney.However, the more I listen to interviews of Kreuger,Hordichuk,Smyth etc, I think Renney would have been the wrong fit going forward. 2 months into the season, we would have been complaining about icetime as the young players and physical guys would be playing less than our veterans. It is time to sink or swim and have the youth core put their name on this team. If they get pushed around, Hordy and Eager should given a green light to do something about it even if it means killing a minor or major penalty. Now if the kids flourish this year, Renney should get credit for how he sheltered them the last 2 years.However, it is time to unleash them and I believe Kreuger will do that.
July 05 2012, 03:22PM
Glad for Renney who deserves a good position, but it reminds of how annoying I found it that all the media was up in arms about how mistreated they felt Renney was by Edmonton for delaying their decision.
From what I understand, he was given more than a notice on his way out (taken care of quite nicely actually) by the Oilers and as you can see it wasn't hard for him to land a new job.
The Oilers were well within their rights to make what they felt was the right decision. Detroit has done so now by hiring Renney. Time lines are irrelevant if done within the boundaries of a contract. Good people will always find work.
Crappy people don't deserve to.
July 05 2012, 03:50PM
Good for Renney. He did his part here. He did a good job of protecting the young talent here. That was all they wanted from him and he did a good job.
July 05 2012, 04:40PM
Congrats Tom! It was great to have you for the time we did.
Renney was not run out of town by the fans. I think the most of us had his back and were certainly up for another year, but ultimately management decided to change the face of things. This happens all the time in any profession.
Don't feel bad for Tom. He saw his contract out and so did the Oilers. It could have gone another way.
Good for Renney. Hopefully Ralph Kreuger is the right fit here and everybody is better off. Good luck Tom. Clearly your head rolled (okay you caught the coaching equivalent of leprosy) to save Tamby's ass.
July 05 2012, 05:13PM
Awesome. I always appreciated Renney, though he was a truly great hockey person.

Did Tom beat Bruce Boudreaus record for shortest stint out of work for NHL coaches?

In Emery County the unemployment rate rose to 8.1 percent, up from 7.3 percent reported in June. In Carbon County the unemployment rate rose as well, up to 6.4 percent in July. In June Carbon County reported an unemployment rate of 5.3 percent.
Utah's other primary indicator of current labor market conditions, the year-over change in the number of nonfarm wage and salaried jobs, remains negative but it improved slightly for the June reading. The number of Utah jobs is down 1.5 percent year-over, or 15,900 for July 2002�a preliminary measurement. June's measurement has been revised downward from its preliminary-1.5 percent, now registering-1.6 percent.
Nationally, the unemployment rate for July 2002 remained unchanged for the second month in a row at 5.9 percent. The number of persons unemployed was 8.3 million. U.S. nonfarm employment remains in negative territory. For July 2002, year-over, nonfarm employment is down by 1.0 percent. However, the rate of contraction is showing signs of slowing, particularly when compared to the job losses in February and March of 2002 of 1.3 percent.
In Utah, the economy is showing signs that it has reached its bottom. Overall employment is down 1.5 percent, but this is an improvement from June's�1.6 percent. Revisions may change this slightly, but the initial look suggests that perhaps the slump has reached bottom. The economy will probably bounce along this bottom for several months, suggesting a rapid turnaround is not likely.
Construction is one weak point. Employing around 68,200 workers, this is 6,400 fewer workers that measured in July 2001. But 2002 was expected to be a weak year in Utah's construction industry, so these numbers live up to that expectation.
Manufacturing is the hardest hit industry with a year-over drop of 6,800 positions. The industry employs around 120,000 Utahns, but this is down from the peak of 135,000 seen in late 1997. Manufacturing has suffered a three-year slump, not only in Utah but nationally as well. This industry is probably at the low point of its slide, but it shows no prospects for a significant turnaround this year.
The industry conglomeration of transportation/communications/utilities (T.C.U.) is sliding into a deeper malaise. Employment levels are down 4.3 percent year-over while just two months ago it was down only 3.5 percent. The communications industry is one of the major factors in this sector's weakness, along with fewer trucking jobs.
The trade industry is stuck in a rut, with several months of employment losses hovering around 5,300 workers. By employing approximately 246,000 workers, it is Utah's second largest employment division. But the effects of an overall weak economy have put enough of a damper on consumer spending to weaken this sector, particularly in luxury or "high-end" goods. Restaurant employment is also down slightly suggesting consumers may be a bit more frugal in their eating expenditures.
The government sector is helping to add some life to the economy. Employment levels are up by around 3,100 positions. State government employment remained flat. There are slight gains in federal government jobs. Most of the gains occurred in local government.
Utah's largest employment sector is services, employing around 318,400 Utahns. This sector shows year-over growth for July of 1.1 percent. This is an uptick in hiring activity as compared with the previous three months. This is an encouraging sign and we will see throughout the remainder of this year if it continues to build upon this current upswing and provide the impetus to jumpstart the economy. Computer-related services remain down, but vigorous hiring in personal services, amusement/recreations services, and management services help to counter this.

Charges have been filed against former Emery County deputy Clayton Bell. He resigned from the sheriff's office on Oct. 1. On Oct. 16 Clayton Bell was located inside the Emery County Sheriff's Office. Bell had driven his pick-up truck and parked in an area next to the courthouse where his vehicle would not be seen by dispatch cameras. During an investigation, Bell said he had used a card similar to a credit card to manipulate the lock on the front door to the sheriff's office on two occasions. Once inside the office, Bell gained access to a secured armory which had a key to the evidence room. Bell accessed the evidence room on Oct. 15 and on Oct. 16 and removed prescription pills from the evidence room. During questioning Bell was asked if he had anything illegal on his person. He said no. A search found 40 prescription pills in his pant pocket. He stated he hadn't taken anything else, and that he had developed an addiction to pain medication. Bell indicated he did not have a prescription and needed some medication. He stated he had taken some of the pills he had removed from the evidence room on Oct. 15.
Bell's vehicle was also searched and a pair of sheriff's office issue binoculars was found. During questioning Bell indicated he had taken the binoculars prior to his resigning on Oct. 1. Bell said he has taken pills, bullets and the binoculars from the evidence room and the armory over the past year. He indicated he had accessed the evidence room five-10 times in the last two months without authorization. This was prior to his resigning.
The Emery County Attorney's Office has filed the following charges against Bell. They include: Count one; DUI: Metabolite; Count two; burglary; count three: possession of a firearm by a restricted person; count four-theft third degree; count five theft-class B; Count six; possession of a controlled substance prohibited in a correctional facility.
Sheriff Greg Funk said, "Our law enforcement family has been touched by drugs. Every family will experience problems with drugs at some point. As it was our office and personnel involved we didn't investigate this ourselves. We asked that the criminal action be handled by the state bureau of investigation. We felt this would be the fairest to our citizens and to Clayton. I feel sad for Clayton and for his family. It's unfortunate these things happen, but drugs will affect every family and the results can be devastating.

Morris is the sixth member of the 2014 spring signing class joining three guards – Connor Van Brocklin, Trevor Hill, Collin Woods – and two forwards – Josh Fuller, Mark Ogden.
The 6-foot-7 forward comes to Dixie State with three year of eligibility after playing as a redshirt freshman last year at Snow College for head coach Robert Nielson.
"We are thrilled to have Anthony join our basketball family," Judkins said. "Anthony had a terrific freshman season at Snow College and we feel he will give us size, athleticism and toughness that our team needs."
Morris averaged eight points and a team-best 6.3 rebounds per game while shooting 57 percent from the floor. He paced all Badger players with 80 offensive boards.
"I choose Dixie because it's a successful program on the rise," Morris said. "It has everything from the players, coaches, fans, and the school itself. With all of that Dixie is also right next to home!"
A Mesquite, Nev. native, Morris prepped at Virgin Valley High school. He averaged eight points and eight rebounds over the course of two seasons for the basketball team while also excelling in football and baseball. He decided to try hardball at the collegiate level by redshirting at the College of Southern Nevada.
After his stint at CSN, Morris served a church mission to Atlanta, Ga., before heading to Snow to play hoops last year. It was an eye-opening year for college coaches looking for an athletic player.
"We love the way that he rebounds the ball on both ends of the floor, and he will give us versatility and depth in our frontcourt for next season and in the future," Judkins said. "Anthony is a hard worker and an outstanding kid, and he is a great addition to our program."
Morris comes from an athletics family. His sister, Rachel, played hoops at Salt Lake CC. She recently signed to play basketball at the University of Hawaii. Bernice, his mother, played basketball and volleyball at Utah Valley and his dad, David, played on the hardwood at Central Arizona.

Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno and MGM Resorts International officially signed a host community agreement for a proposed casino Wednesday. But the proposal still has several hurdles ahead.
Mayor Sarno and MGM Springfield president Bill Hornbuckle inked the deal in front of dozens of city leaders and supporters. MGM still needs to win support of the City Council, Springfield voters, and ultimately the state gaming commission. If it does, it will compete for customers with Connecticut's casinos, and up to two more casinos and one slots parlor that can be licensed in other regions of Massachusetts. Hornbuckle says while any new development is a risk for his company, he says the single license in the western part of the state will help.
"We're comforted by, within seventy miles, just about a million odd people that we think we can call our customers," says Hornbuckle. "And so, yeah, we're afraid, we're always afraid. But we're going to go do this in every way we've described, and we think it will be a winner."
Only one casino license can be awarded in western Massachusetts, and two other casinos have been proposed in the region – one by Mohegan Sun in Palmer, and one by Hard Rock Casinos in West Springfield. Hornbuckle says getting the referendum passed by a wide majority will send the gaming commission a message.
"We want them to be able to say, 'Springfield is the right spot' with confidence, because the vast majority of the electorate there not only understood the program, but wanted the program. So I think it's critical we get that vote as high as we can."
According to Mayor Sarno, the City Council will start discussing the host community agreement this week. Hornbuckle say the goal is to hold a referendum in mid-July.

These Foofa cupcakes are ridiculously sweet-looking! Made with fruit chews and vanilla frosting they are not, however, too sweet to eat!
Watch Yo Gabba Gabba only on Nick Jr.
Before you start to decorate, make a batch of Basic Vanilla Cupcakes.
Press two pieces of pink fruit taffy together. Heat each piece in the microwave for no more than 3 seconds to soften slightly. Roll out the taffy on a clean work surface into a 1 3/4- by 2 3/4-inch teardrop shape. Round the sides with clean scissors to make Foofa's head. Cut the red fruit chews into quarters and shape each piece into a 3/4-inch mouth.
Tint 1/2 cup of the vanilla frosting light pink with the food coloring. Spoon into a small resealable bag. Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting into a small resealable bag.
Spread the remaining vanilla frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth. Place the pink fruit chews on top of the cupcakes. Snip a small corner from the bags with the frostings. Pipe a decorative edge at the bottom of the pink fruit chew and a flower shape at the top. Add the yellow candy in the center of the flower shape. Pipe two ovals as the eyes with the white frosting. Add the brown candies as the pupils. Pipe a pink nose and add the red fruit chew piece as the mouth. Pipe eyelashes with the chocolate frosting.

For the compression to graduate (20-30 mmHg at the ankle, 10-24 mm Hg at the upper calf, and 4-12 mmHg at the upper thigh), the fit is very important.
The sizes on most support stockings are determined using a few simple measurements, but these measurement are important in the proper fit. As the measurements are taken, they should be recorded and then compared to the sizing chart of the manufacturer (ie Jobst, Sigvaris, etc). This video shows how to take the measurements.
The following instructions and photos are from from the ForYourLegs website and are more complete.
STEP 1: Measure the circumference of your ankle. Measure around the narrowest part of your ankle above the ankle bone. Record this measurement...
STEP 2: Measure the circumference of your calf. Measure around your calf at it's widest part. Record this measurement...STEP 3: Measure the length of your calf. Measure from the floor to the bend in your knee. Record this measurement...STEP 4: Measure the circumference of your thigh. Measure around the widest part of your thigh just below your gluteal fold. Record this measurement...STEP 5: Measure the length of your thigh. Measure from the gluteal fold to the floor. Record this measurement...STEP 6: Measure around your hips. Locate the widest part of your hips or waist and measure all the way around. Record this measurement
If the patients thighs measure more than 25 inches, then knee high rather than thigh high stockings should be used. Off-the-shelf stockings can not maintain the correct graduated pressure when the patient's thighs are larger than 25 inches.
Now that the correct size has been chosen, how do you put them on? The following information is from the second reference below, ClotCare Online Resource.
Applying graduated compression stockings may be difficult if your leg is significantly swollen and/or the pain is severe. To make it easier to put the graduated compression stockings on, first lie down and elevate your feet above the level of your heart for several minutes to reduce the swelling in your legs and ankles as much as possible. Then put on the stockings as you would any pair of socks or pantyhose.
Here are some tips for best results when using graduated compression stockings:
- Wear gradient compression socks or stockings everyday.
- Use rubber gloves to get a better grip on the fabric.
- If you cannot tolerate wearing the stockings all day, wear them for a few hours at a time and increase the amount of time daily.
- Put compression stockings on first thing in the morning.
- If your skin is moist apply cornstarch or grease-free talcum.
- Keep legs and feet warm to promote good circulation.
- Stockings will typically last 3-6 months.
- Proper fit is essential for effectiveness.
- Take notice of weight loss or gain as this may affect the fit.
- Pay special attention to washing instructions.
- Do not allow wrinkles in the stockings.
- Do not cut or alter stockings.
- Never fold or roll them down.
- Remove stockings if prolonged numbness or tingling occur or if you note bluish discoloration.
There is a very nice video on Dr Joseph Caprini's website discussing the use of and application of compressions stockings. Go to his site and then click on the "Rational and Use of Compression Stocking" button, choosing broadband or dial up. Really worth watching.
Here are several manufacturers who make compression stockings.
Jobst -- includes instructions on donning and care.
- Jobst Anti-Em/GP stockings are latex free
- Three styles are available: Knee-Hi, Thigh-Hi and Waist-Hi
Juzo -- included instruction on donning and care.

According to the AHA,* "Because of many negative studies or mixed results and a paucity of available trials, all other meditation techniques [including Mindfulness] received a 'Class III, no benefit, Level of Evidence C' recommendation. Thus, other meditation techniques are not recommended in clinical practice to lower BP at this time."

"These shoes look great, love the spikes on the straps. The part that fits between the toes is a bit uncomfortable. I'm hoping this subsides soon, otherwise I won't get much use out of these. I normally wear a 7 ordered half size up based on another review, glad I did."

Can't Replace The BulbsI had a wonderful three-way lighted makeup mirror for over 30 years. Don't remember the brand, but the bulbs never burned out. I replaced it because the stand broke & I was tired of propping it up. I really liked the Jerdon because it was so similar. But the bulbs burned out after just a couple of years. This was about three months ago. I called the company & they said the bulbs were out of stock & would be back in stock in June. Ten dollars was worth waiting a few months vs what a new mirror would cost. Today, July 2, I called to find out the status of the bulbs, only to find that the company no longer carries them! You have to mail your mirror to them and they replace the bulbs for $12. BS! I will be looking for a replacement - and it won't be Jerdon!Jul 2, 2014Ann R. / United States

Never Again!My wife replaced her 20 year old Clairol "true to light" make up mirror with a Jerdon when the Clairol's hinges wore out. The Jerdon looked a lot like the Clairol, and was great for about 6 months. Then the bulbs flickered and quit. We were dismayed to discover that, unlike the Clairol product, the bulbs can't be replaced! This feels like a scam to force us to buy a new unit, but this company has lost us as customers - forever! We'll check the garage sales for another Clairol.

Jardon No GoodThe bulbs on mine appear to be fine,when I hold the switch they flicker and then light for an instant. I think the problem may be in the switch or ballast. Since I can't take it apart, I'll just toss it in the trash and see if I can find something else. For sure it will not be another Jerdon product.Dec 12, 2012E.f. / Chicago

Um, Yeah, No.Bought the Jerdon Classic JGL9W Lighted Tri-fold Mirror for my daughter for Christmas 2010. It worked well for about a year, and has been spotty since early spring 2012. Now the lights only come on sporadically, and only if you spin the mirror, jump up and down, clap your hands and pray. Then, if we're lucky, the lights MIGHT grace us with their so-called presence. It's so pathetic that Amazon knows that half of these mirrors are defective (I mean, have they actually READ the reviews???) and yet they still sell them. If they wanted to make some money, the could make the lights replaceable and sell the bulbs.
Of course, my Amazon warranty was only good for 30 days, and the Jerdon warranty for 1 year, so I'm SOL. Fun stuff.Oct 9, 2012Rachael / Colorado

No Good!!!Wow, I read all the reviews about the short lived lights in this mirror. I bought one to replace the make up mirror I had from high school. I can't remember the brand but I think it was Clairol. I graduated high school in 1969 so it definitely had a long life. The lights in my Jerdon mirror flickered and completely went out in less than 6 months. I bought mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They were out of stock when I went back for a replacement but the manager was kind enough to tell me he would switch out when new ones came in. Guess now after reading all the reviews I will just take it back for a refund. Would not recommend to anyone unless you want to keep replacing.Sep 9, 2012Wynne / NC

Lasted 3 MonthsI want my Clairol lighted mirror from the 70's & 80's! It was exactly like this but the bulbs were replaceable. This mirror has great lighting. BUT when it starts to go, it flickers, gets VERY hot and just dies! I would never leave it plugged in. The last Jerdon I had lasted about a year but when it died, it shorted out, smoked and the cord melted! I bought this last one out of desperation. I am DONE! No more Jerdon for me!Aug 29, 2012Janet / PA

Didn't Last!!!I was given this mirror as a gift. Guess I was luckier with it than most, my lights lasted 9 months before going out. Also, I found the folding wing mirrors to be a nuisance, they were always in the way so that I had to lean around them to find what I needed to apply next.
Previously owned Clairol lighted mirror. It lasted me for 30 years or so.
Will never buy Jerdon anything again!!!!!!!!!!Jul 14, 2012Sally

4 Months Is The Live Of The Bulbs!After owning a Con-air lighted mirror that lasted 15 years, I purchased my first Jerdon mirror Sept of 2011. I chose this mirror because the light was brighter than that of the Con-air. I was very pleased until Dec 2011,(about 4 months later) when the bulbs started flickering, and finally went out a week later. I wrote the company, but never got a response. Since I had been so happy with the mirror before it quit, I foolishly bought another one in Jan of this year (2012), thinking that it was just a fluke. Last week ( after about 4 months of use), the blubs started flicking, and as if on cue, the bulbs went out two days ago. They suck you in with this great light, but you'll have to pay 34.99 three-four times a year to keep it coming. I am in the market again, and I will not make the mistake of purchasing another Jerdon product.Apr 2, 2012K T.

Piece Of Junk!I unfortunately bought this mirror and found out that the reviews concerning the bulbs were dead on. I haven't owned this mirror long and both bulbs blew out. After reading the reviews about trying to change them or even gain access to them, I'm just gonna get rid of it. I too owned a Clairol make-up mirror that lasted over 20 years with absolutely no problems whatsoever. The only reason I replaced it was the side mirror hinges falling off. It's unfortunate that manufacturers sell this junk and consumers end up putting out more money to replace them, Does anyone make quality products anymore? Very discouraging, but if enough people complain maybe the manufacturers will do something about it.Mar 9, 2012Cheryl

Bulb ReplacementI was given the Jerdon vanity mirror as a gift in
October 2010. In January 2012 both bulbs
failed and according to the instruction book it
must be returned to the manufacture for the \
bulbs to be replaced. I sent an email to
Jerdon but no reply was received. Needless
to day, I am very disappointed. I now have
a mirror less than a year old that I cannot
use and have been unsuccessful in getting
needed repair.

|In response to Re: is blue water good for kohler toiletS?
: I just bought a brand new white kohler toilet. i went to home depot and they have this fluidmaster cleaning thing, stating that it wil clean my bowl. except for one thing, it is blue water. i heard that stains bowls and its really hard to get out. on the other hand, there is the puricle 110 system which also promises that i will never have to scrub my bowl again... the manager at home depot recommended i use this one instead of fluidmaster since it does work and the small amount of chlorine isnt big enough to damage my toilet bowl. should i use it?

West Des Moines, Iowa
The Petersens know a thing or two about graduations. "We've been to a lot of them," says Roger, smiling. In fact, among Roger, Susan, and their three children, the family holds degrees from six institutions: the University of Iowa, Iowa State, Drake University, Grinnell College, MIT, and now Luther.
As parents, they celebrated the graduation of their daughter, Jan-Marie Petersen '07. "We were profoundly moved by Luther's commencement ceremony!" says Susan. "And we were so impressed that President Torgerson, the regents, and the faculty all formed a receiving line to greet the graduates—it was simply remarkable. We just knew they were all rejoicing right along with us."
Buoyed by the celebration, the music, and the joy, they reflected on their relationship with the college as no longer parents of a current student, but proud parents of an exceptional alumna. As they considered the role Luther had played in their lives, they wanted to maintain their relationship with the campus and create opportunities for future Luther students.
"We're pleased to be able to do our part with an annual gift," says Roger. "But we're especially pleased to provide more significantly for Luther through our estate. Jan-Marie had terrific role models among the faculty," says Susan. "Her professors instilled in our daughter a sense of responsibility to go out into the world and continue to learn, to serve, and grow."
Roger adds, "When we saw our child being challenged, mentored, and affirmed by people outside the family, it just filled us with such a sense of gratitude."
"We're not Luther alumni, and we could have easily stayed on the sidelines. But that was never an option for us," says Susan. "We are so pleased to be a part of this tradition, and we're looking forward to our new role in the life of the college—as donors."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 21:57 GMT le 23 août 2011
Hurricane Irene is a category 1 on the Saffir Simpson scale as of 5pm EDT, with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph and a minimum central pressure of 976 mb. Irene is moving to the west-northwest at 9 mph, and continues to impact Hispaniola. Satellite imagery shows a strong rain band continuing to linger over the eastern Dominican Republic on the southeast side of Irene, but wind speeds appear to have decreased substantially in the country since this morning. Winds are gusting to around 50 mph in the Turks and Caicos Islands this afternoon. Wind shear is currently around 10-20 knots in the vicinity, which could delay intensification over the next 48 hours. The strongest winds and thunderstorm activity remain on the northwest side, and the eye that was visible on satellite earlier today has become obscured by new thunderstorm activity near the center of the hurricane. The most recent Hurricane Hunter mission found a minimum central pressure of 978 mb and a large wind field. In their 2pm EDT fix, the National Hurricane Center estimated that tropical storm-force winds extended 180 nautical miles from the center in the northeast quadrant of the hurricane. A NOAA Gulfstream plane (Gonzo) is currently flying Irene and providing dropsonde data, something that was critical in gaining model consensus yesterday. A NOAA P-3 (Kermit) is also on its way to the hurricane to provide dropsonde data, as well.
Figure 1. Satellite imagery of Hurricane Irene at 4:45pm EDT. Image credit: NOAA.
Track forecast for Hurricane Irene
Models are in better agreement on the track forecast for Irene today, although the GFDL and HWRF continue to be the western outliers. Both of these models are forecasting Irene to make landfall near the Outer Banks of North Carolina on an almost due north track. The rest of the global models continue to slide every so slightly east in their forecast track, with some not making landfall until the hurricane is as far north as Long Island. This afternoon, the ECMWF, which has been performing well this season, forecasts Irene to brush the Outer Banks before sliding up the east coast toward New York. The official track forecast from the National Hurricane Center is similar this afternoon. They're expecting Irene to take a more central track through the Bahamas over the next 48 hours and make contact with the Outer Banks on Saturday afternoon, with a second landfall in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon. Again, it's critical to note that the errors in the track forecast 4 and 5 days out are quite large, and also that the consensus in the models over the past couple of days has been to nudge the track eastward, which can be seen in this track graphic archive.
Intensity forecast for Hurricane Irene
Despite the slight weakening that happened today, Irene is still expected to reach major hurricane status (category 3+) in the next 36 hours as it moves away from the Greater Antilles and into warm "open" water. The models tend to agree on a maximum intensity of category 3, however, the GFDL is the upper outlier, and is suggesting a category 4 on Friday. The intensity forecast from the National Hurricane Center is a wind speed increase to 125 mph (category 3) by Thursday. Irene will surely be a very intense hurricane by the time it nears the Mid-Atlantic.
Magnitude 5.8 earthquake rattles eastern U.S.
A relatively large and shallow earthquake struck the Mid-Atlantic just before 2pm EDT this afternoon, and shaking was felt up and down the east coast and as far west as Ohio. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the epicenter was located 5 miles southwest of Mineral, Virginia, and was 3.7 miles deep—a very shallow earthquake. Buildings were evacuated all over the Mid-Atlantic, including the Pentagon, the White House, and NCEP, but have since been reopened. The National Cathedral in Washington D.C. was apparently significantly damaged in the earthquake. National Mall monuments and memorials have closed for the afternoon. Light aftershocks have been reported by people in the region, and the USGS has reported at least one aftershock (a 2.8 in magnitude).
Figure 2. "Did you feel it?" map from the USGS. Shaking reports from today's earthquake can be submitted to the USGS here.
This earthquake appears to be the strongest to occur in Virginia since May 31, 1897, when a magnitude 6 (approximately) struck Giles County. Reportedly, shaking was felt from Georgia to Pennsylvania and west to Indiana and Kentucky, which is an area that covers approximately 725,000 square miles. It's likely that this quake will have a similar extent when all the reports come in.

Africa-Wide Action Plan Focus of Year of the Gorilla 2009
Uniting Development Needs of People with Conservation Needs of Charismatic Primates Unveiled at International Wildlife Conference
9th Meeting of the Parties to the UNEP-Convention on Migratory Species 1-5 December
Rome, 1 December 2008 - Projects promoting super-efficient 'Rocket Stoves', encouraging alternative livelihoods to reduce poaching and federating successful eco-tourism programmes across Africa are among a range of initiatives to be promoted under the Year of the Gorilla 2009.
The Year, launched today by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco at the opening of a United Nations wildlife conference, aims to boost conservation of humankind's closest relatives and their habitats by boosting the livelihoods and incomes of local people.
The initiative also aims to improve the management of national and cross border populations of primates and ones living in National Parks by strengthening cooperation between range states and providing improved support for rangers and other key personnel.
Experts last week met under the new Gorilla Agreement coordinated by UN Environment Programme's Convention on Migratory Species (UNEP-CMS). Here they adopted a comprehensive action plan to support the upcoming Year.
The action plan includes a range of inspiring and transformational projects available for backing by governments, business, civil society groups and individuals.
The Year of the Gorilla (YoG) is a joint initiative of the UNEP-CMS, the UNEP/UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's Great Ape Survival Partnership (GRASP) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
His Serene Highness said:" It is in the interest of the international community and our honourable task to save these unique natural resources and the World Heritage Sites where they live."
Renowned primatologist and Year of the Gorilla 2009 Patron Dr. Jane Goodall echoed Prince Albert II of Monaco's sentiment saying: "It is time for us to pool all of our resources toward saving these magnificent creatures. I am pleased to lend my voice to the Year of the Gorilla 2009, a campaign aimed at ensuring a future for this close cousin of humankind."
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "Flagship species such as the gorilla can be a powerful catalyst for improved conservation and the more intelligent management of economically-important ecosystems. In doing so, initiatives such as the Year of the Gorilla can galvanize and re-vitalize action on the ground so urgently needed to reverse the rate of loss of biodiversity while generating incomes and improving livelihoods for local people and communities".
Robert Hepworth, Executive Secretary of the CMS, said the initiative came at a time of particular concern as a result of the armed struggle in parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
"We are deeply concerned about the current situation in the region which threatens communities and conservation efforts aimed at achieving the wide-ranging targets of the UN Millennium Development Goals as they relate to poverty eradication and environmental sustainability."
"Without doubt a special aim of the Year of the Gorilla will be to bring recovery-focused projects to the DRC once hostilities have ceased and community-based conservation projects can be fully resumed," he added.
Today the Year of the Gorilla also announced luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent as its first sponsor.
Justin Wateridge, the company's Managing Director, said:"Abercrombie & Kent are delighted to be able to support the Year of the Gorilla 2009 and in turn help raise awareness for the plight of the gorillas and much needed funds towards their conservation".
Current Situation of Gorilla Populations
The CMS Agreement came into force in June this year. It comes in response to growing concern that despite years of efforts by the UN, governments and non-governmental organizations, the plight of the gorilla remains cause for serious concern.
Indeed many experts are warning that without urgent action gorillas will become extinct in the wild within the next few decades.
Three of the four gorilla species are listed as 'Critically Endangered' on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, putting them at risk of extinction.
The populations of the Mountain Gorilla in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda and the Cross River Gorilla in Cameroon and Nigeria number only 700 and 300 individuals respectively.
The Eastern Lowland Gorilla population in the DRC has plummeted dramatically over the last 10 years with probably only about 5,000 of the formerly 17,000 animals remaining.
The most numerous subspecies, the Western Lowland Gorilla which occurs in Angola, Central African Republic, Cameroon, DRC, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Congo, number perhaps as many as more than 200,000 animals. Nevertheless these populations remain threatened on several fronts.
Key Threats
The main threats to gorillas are hunting for food, with at least one million tons of 'bushmeat' being extracted each year from the Congo Basin forests, alongside their use in traditional medicine, capture of live infants as pets as well as ensnarement in traps set for other species.
Habitat loss is being accelerated through logging and slash-and-burn agriculture. In addition, the region's abundance in natural resources combined with the production of charcoal and mining for gold, zinc, uranium and Coltan - an ore used in electronics such as mobile phones - is gradually destroying gorilla habitat.
In addition, armed conflicts can trigger the displacement of huge numbers of people who then may use natural resources unsustainably. On top of this, diseases like Ebola can wipe out entire populations.
Conservation Action
Ecotourism, sustainable timber harvesting and improved agricultural practices can support reforestation campaigns, anti-poaching efforts and implementation of development projects. One focus will be on the regions bordering areas protected for gorilla conservation.
Developmental projects that can also contribute include schools and educational initiatives alongside ones that cover water supplies and health care.
A wider educational approach informing the public about the value of intact ecosystems and the catastrophic consequences of their loss envisages translations of applicable wildlife law into the languages of the communities sharing habitat with the gorillas.
Research on the various subpopulations and surveys on their numbers will be promoted, and corridors should be established to link otherwise separate subpopulations.
The Year of the Gorilla invites individuals, conservation bodies, corporate sponsors and governments to support this unique global drive for gorilla conservation. Specific projects to protect gorillas can be found on the dedicated website (www.yog2009.org).
CMS and its partners have committed themselves to developing and implementing this Agreement. It provides the gorilla range states, as well as the other governments and organisations involved, with a legal framework that will reinforce and integrate conservation efforts.
Notes to editors
The Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) works for the conservation of a wide array of endangered migratory animals worldwide through the negotiation and implementation of agreements and species action plans. With currently 110 member countries, many of them in Africa, CMS is a fast-growing convention with special importance due to its expertise in the field of migratory species. (www.cms.int)
The Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP) is a strategic alliance of UN agencies, governments, NGOs, foundations and corporate sponsors. CMS is one of the members of the international GRASP partnership to stop the decline of great ape populations. Mobilizing and pooling resources by providing a communication platform for scientists will improve coordination among NGOs. National plans have helped great ape range countries develop tailored conservation strategies. (www.unep.org/grasp)
The World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) is the umbrella organisation for the world zoo and aquarium community. Its members include selected zoos and aquariums, and regional and national Associations of Zoos and Aquariums, as well as some affiliate organisations, such as zoo veterinarians or zoo educators, from all around the world. (www.waza.org)
The world-renowned great ape conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall (DBE) will lend her voice to the YoG campaign as the official campaign patron. Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues Dr. Goodall's pioneering research that transformed scientific perceptions of the relationship between humans and animals. It also is widely recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa. (www.janegoodall.org)

Niagara Folk Arts Festival
Statements By Members
May 11th, 2012 / 11:05 a.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow morning, back in St. Catharines, the Niagara Folk Arts Festival will kick off its 44th annual folk arts festival. It is Canada's oldest continuous heritage festival, and I am proud our government has given more support to the folk arts festival than any government previous.
These events are important, as our government has welcomed more immigrants than any other government has in decades. We have reunited more families than previous governments and have cut landing fees for new immigrants. We have strengthened Canada's citizenship guide with updated citizenship tests and a new guide itself. We have invested in skills training and accreditation for immigrants and are attracting more economic immigrants who suit Canada's labour market needs.
Our government is moving beyond the era of backlogs, fraudulent refugee claims and unrecognized foreign credentials. I am proud we are building a fast, fair and flexible immigration system that will serve the country well.
Back home with the folk arts festival and our understanding of where we are going in the direction of immigration, we are going to have a good time for the next two weeks.
Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Marc-André Morin Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to speak to Bill C-38, a perfect bill for the paper shredder. The Cascades paper company would be happy to de-ink the confetti and make useful, recycled paper out of it.
The death of democracy is seldom sudden. It is almost always a slow and painful death caused by indifference, apathy and cynicism. The first signs of this death are the authoritarian regime's loss of perspective and its insensitivity towards the people. Next, people lose their freedom and the means to criticize the regime.
I would like to read a quote in English. I am relying on the interpreters to ensure that the member opposite understands.
"There is no doubt that dictatorship is a much more efficient way to govern". That was George W. Bush.
Osgoode Carleton Snowmobile Trail Club
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to report to the House that the Osgoode Carleton Snowmobile Trail Club is officially the best in Canada. The club has almost 700 members, 200 volunteers, 20 different activities, 300 kilometres of land and 175 generous property owners who donate their land for snowmobile use.
I was pleased to work with Councillor Doug Thompson to help deliver a multi-use pathway that has helped to invigorate the local snowmobile community.
As a result of all these achievements, the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations has declared the Osgoode club to be the best in Canada. Club president George Darouze deserves special praise for winning best snowmobile volunteer in Ontario. He is a great leader who makes Osgoode proud.
Organizations like this in the community help to lift the quality of life, unify local citizens and make Osgoode one of the funnest and friendliest places to live in all of Canada.
Mother's Day
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to commemorate Mother's Day and the strong, beautiful women who are our mothers, aunties, sisters, grandmothers and daughters.
Mother's Day was started by a woman who wished to honour her mother, a peace activist, at the turn of the 20th century. Ann Jarvis was a mother who fought for peace in her country for the sake of her children. Her daughter, Anna, was so struck by the integrity of that fight she worked to have a day to commemorate her mother and all mothers.
Today, mothers are still fighting for rights for their children, be it affordable housing, equal pay, reproductive rights, child care, retirement security or access to education. These are the dividends of peace and should be a reality for our children.
On Sunday, we should all take some time to thank our mothers for their care, their love and their hopes for better lives for their children, and show them that we appreciate all that they do.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, the no development party continues to rail against jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. Its anti-jobs, anti-trade agenda is quite clear. It call for a moratorium on oil sands development and for slower growth. It sends MPs to Washington, D.C. to attack the Canadian economy and good, high paying unionized jobs in the energy sector. In fact, a number of NDP members actually praised the U.S. when it turned down an earlier application to build and operate the Keystone XL pipeline.
Now the NDP leader is attacking the economic success of the Prairie provinces.
Canada deserves better than an official opposition that cheers and rails against the prosperity of our country. Canada has seen three-quarters of a million net new jobs created since July 2009. The NDP should support further growth and not attack Canadian jobs and the families that they support.
National Nursing Week
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Sean Casey Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, this is National Nursing Week and this year's theme is "Nursing - The Health of Our Nation". We have over 266,000 registered nurses in Canada, constituting the largest group of health care professionals in Canada.
Nurses work on the front line of our health care system and have a real influence on Canadians' lives. Nurses play an important role. They provide care when we are sick; they do their best to reduce wait times; and they work together with other health care professionals in order to provide the best care possible.
We have seen how nurses can play a leading role in reforming our health care system through the National Expert Commission, as well as through their role in multidisciplinary community health care teams.
I encourage all members to take a moment today and celebrate the valuable work that nurses do each and every day on behalf of Canadians.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Ed Komarnicki Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker, the NDP leader continues to say one thing in one part of the country that he will not say elsewhere. Canadians are noticing and the Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta have called him out for criticizing responsible resource development.
The NDP leader is trying to pit Canadians against one another instead of supporting sectors of the economy that create good. high paying jobs.
Yesterday, the NDP trotted out Lorne Nystrom, a senior advisor to the NDP leader, to say that the NDP leader will soon clarify the no development party's position against gives jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. This is totally unacceptable. Canadians are not buying it.
Premier Redford said this about the NDP leader, "I always think it's better for people to comment once they have the information than before they do".
Using a former Saskatchewan MP to try to cover up the NDP leader's real position, its anti-jobs, anti-growth agenda is not going unnoticed by the people of the Prairies and, in particular, the people of Saskatchewan.
Government Appointments
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Pierre Nantel Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, the Conservatives reached a new level of absurdity. In an outrageously over-the-top statement, the Prime Minister said that government appointments have never been based on anything but merit.
Never mind that the Senate is full of campaign organizers like Doug Finley or defeated candidates like Josée Verner.
I have a quiz for the people at home.
Is the vice-president of the CRTC: (a) a man with a strong communications background; or, (b) a friend of Senator Housakos with no experience?
Those who chose (b) are correct.
Was Bernard Généreux appointed to the board of directors of the Quebec Port Authority for his love of the blue waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, or for the blue on his election signs?
The answer is obvious.
It is pathetic, but a fact is a fact. No agency can escape Conservative patronage.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Bob Zimmer Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, the leader of the opposition recently announced his shadow cabinet, a team that threatens dangerous economic experiments, job killing taxes and reckless spending that Canadians simply cannot afford.
He made the member for Halifax his deputy leader and environment critic. The member does not stand with Canadians. She has, in fact, travelled to a foreign capital to lobby a foreign government not to support Canada's oil and gas sector and jobs for thousands of Canadians.
When faced with a choice between radical special interest groups that oppose Canada's ability to develop its natural resources and the ordinary Canadian families that benefit from that prosperity, the member of Parliament for Halifax would side with the radicals.
With the NDP against development of natural resources, it is no wonder Christopher Smillie, who represents around 200,000 trades workers, warned that the NDP would be very bad for workers and the entire Canadian economy.
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
David Christopherson Hamilton Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence is having yet another challenging week. Back in October he told the House that the all-up costs of the mission in Libya would be $50 million. Today we learned that the mission in Libya actually cost $350 million. That is seven times more than the defence minister said it would cost back in October.
What is it this time? Is the government so incompetent that it still cannot get its numbers straight or was it misleading Canadians yet again?
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate my friend from Hamilton on his promotion to deputy leader of the opposition.
The member could not be more wrong. The numbers that he speaks of were actually tabled before Parliament. Obviously, the mission to Libya was extended on two occasions. It was much longer than was originally envisaged.
The great news is that the members of the Canadian Forces did an exemplary job on behalf of Canada and Canadians. They saved literally thousands and thousands of innocent civilians and Liberals—I mean Libyans.

David Christopherson Hamilton Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, yet one more challenge for the government to rise to.
We also learned today that the minister's department has decided that DND's strategic investment plan is now a classified document. This 15-year previously public plan for spending on equipment is now a national security issue.
However, every procurement program in this department is now behind schedule or over budget: F-35s, close combat vehicles, search and rescue planes, submarines.
Why does the minister think it is better to stamp "secret" on these documents rather than just fixing the problems?
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, just a few short days ago, the Minister of National Defence tabled a significant amount of information in this House for transparency, openness and accountability.
Obviously, before any purchase can take place, we need to have a parliamentary appropriation and, therefore, no purchase can be made before Parliament is fully informed and appropriates the money.
Just this week the defence minister spent four hours answering questions in committee of the whole. That is an unprecedented amount of transparency in the last year for any minister.

Comments: I order two kicker sunfish. One of them a floater and the other this bed bait. I got them in today and i thought they looked awesome. Except for the fact that the hooks didnt seem to be set correctly on the bed bait. One of the hooks was set too low and pervented full range of motion of the tail to one side, while allowing full range of motion to the other side. At this point i immedately knew the bait would not swim true. So i took them both out the a lake to test them. As expected the bed bait swam horribly, it swim on its side. Very aggravating because now i have to ship it back to TW. The floating kicker sunfish doesnt float, its a slow sink. I though it might of been a mix up at tacklewarehouse. But it was not, on the bottom of the lure its marked as a floater. Even though its not what i wanted, i will keep the slow sink. It has amazing swimming action and darts side to side very well. And i love the little pectoral fins, gives it a more 3d look than other sunfish hard swimbaits.

Comments: very pleased when i got this bait. then paint job is fanominal. great bait definately recommended.very realistic.
From: Devin: CA
Comments: Great Bait, worth every penny! Catches me a lot of fish!
From: Arizona
Comments: These are great baits, i just wish tylures made them in a 3.5" or 3" version. but still these are a top quality bait that will get you big bites and big fish. the time went into these to make sure they last and are durable like a tank. sure the paint jobs could be more realistic but for the price i won't complain. if u want buy this lure for $25 and find yourself a swimbait builder on the net or from a fishing club and have him blast it with a custom paint job to look more realistic and youll have one of them life like $55 hardgills for half the price.
