"Very classy looking shoe. Does run quiet large. got a 9.5 originally which is my size and went down to an 8.5 that fits right. Shoe laces are quiet long which is odd. All in all a very great looking shoe."

Great shoe
"I have bought alot of Kenneth Cole shoes, but the ones I have received from DSW seem to always fit and are very comfy. And I seem to believe that it is in the package. Never have waited longer than 4 days to recieve shoes or have them show up with the wrong size or width. They are also in great condition and to me presentation is everything as well as the fit."

Great looking shoe
"As soon as I saw these I knew I had to have them. They have just the right amount of canvas and leather. And they are surprisingly soft! Absolutely no break-in required. They look great with jeans. They do run a little large. I wear a 9.5 in Allen Edmonds, and a 10 in Florsheim and a 9.5 in Johnston & Murphy, but a size 9 fit perfect with these. These just became my favorite summer shoes! Note, I have only worn them a couple of days. I will update my review after a few weeks."

I've been bringing my kids to Hapkido Canberra for nearly 2 years and they love it.. Tom is *great* with kids.
Fantastic martial arts training for all ages. Kids have age specific classes that cater for their individual needs. The instructors are great and show genuine interest in all students.
My name is Ben Arnot, I have known Master Tom Adam for six years now and have trained in Hapkido both with him, and under his instruction. I have found him to be skilled, knowledgeable, patient, supportive and motivational. I have no hesitation recommending Master Tom to anybody who is interested in improving their lives through Martial Arts training. Had he not moved to Canberra, my son would be training in his Kid's Classes right now.
My son has been going here for over 2 years and has learned so much for the teacher Tom. Most of all he has learned self respect and to respect others, and to always try. My son loves going to Hapkido
My kids love it, my 6 year old goes to every available class, even getting a friend's mum to take her to extra classes. The classes are loud and exuberant and my kids are learning a lot. Hubby has just joined the family classes.

Skip to comments.Scathing crime lab report puts pressure on North Carolina AG (DukeLax tie-in)
Posted on 08/22/2010 5:35:46 AM PDT by abb
A blistering report this week identifying how North Carolina's state crime laboratory workers misrepresented blood evidence in dozens of cases over 16 years covered only two of Roy Cooper's years as attorney general.
But it's all Cooper's task to clean up the problems at the State Bureau of Investigation lab and overcome questions about its work. The Democrat faces a long road back to restoring trust in the lab that helps state and local law enforcement.
The lab will need to regain faith from attorneys and the public, as well as the lawmakers who approve funding for the lab and its crime-fighting tools.
"It is credibility that's going to have to be earned back," said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, an attorney who once represented a man exonerated in 2001 when DNA evidence proved him innocent of a rape for which he had been imprisoned. "There are going to have to be a lot of folks working to regain the public's trust and the system's trust of the forensic results coming out of the lab."
Cooper has been a popular state leader who won re-election handily in 2008 and whose name floats often as a candidate for governor and U.S. Senate. He was praised for his handling of the Duke lacrosse case. His future in elections and working with the General Assembly may hang on whether he carries out reforms in the independent review, and even goes beyond them.
"Cooper has done a good job as attorney general, and this is a crisis that he had to solve," said Jack Cozort, a state government lobbyist and ex-appeals court judge who began in Democratic politics in 1971 working in former Gov. Jim Hunt's first statewide campaign. "If he doesn't solve and deal with it wisely and efficiently, it could be an issue for him in the next election."
An independent review of blood testing performed in the lab from 1987 to 2003 found 190 cases in which suspects were charged but the final lab report omitted evidence that contradicted preliminary tests indicating blood at a scene. Three of the 190 cases resulted in executions. Four other people convicted are on death row. The report doesn't conclude, however, that innocent people were convicted.
Cooper asked for the review in March after an SBI agent testified the crime lab once had a policy of excluding complete blood test results from reports offered to defense lawyers before trials. That testimony led to February's exoneration of Greg Taylor, who had served 17 years for a murder conviction.
Cooper faced the criticism squarely Wednesday, listening in person to a former FBI leader and lab expert detail omitted or misrepresented results that could have led to confessions or pleas because more favorable evidence may have been hidden.
Cooper took questions and said all the report's recommendations would be implemented by new SBI director Greg McLeod. His office also announced late last week the lab director would be replaced.
"It is important that lessons are learned even though most of these things occurred in the (1980s) or '90s," he told reporters. "You have to be careful that no vestiges of these problems remain."
Previous attorneys general Lacy Thornburg and Mike Easley oversaw the SBI lab during most of the period covered by the review. But lawyers and other more partisan critics of the SBI have questioned why it took this long for Cooper - now in his 10th year as attorney general - to find the problems.
"He's got a lot of explaining to do, and I'm not sure he can explain all of this," state Republican Party Chairman Tom Fetzer said, suggesting that the issues should be front and center if Cooper seeks re-election in 2012 from a GOP challenger or even a primary opponent. "Cooper certainly had the chance to rectify some of these issues."
He already made changes before the report came out. Cooper replaced Robin Pendergraft, his choice to run the SBI for months after he took office in January 2001, with McLeod, who was Cooper's legislative lobbyist.
Lawmakers said the best way to restore confidence in the lab's actions would be to make the state's crime lab an agency independent from the Department of Justice that Cooper runs.
"It appears from this report that it went just beyond human error," said Rep. Larry Hall, D-Durham, a lawyer and critic of Cooper's successful effort at the Legislature last month to expand DNA testing to some crime suspects. "Is this an independent, unbiased lab, or is it to be used as a tool for the prosecution?"
Cooper said Wednesday "everything should be on the table" but qualified that he wouldn't support changes that he said would harm police in fighting crime.
Cooper, a 52-year-old Rocky Mount native, has had a good relationship with the General Assembly, where he served for 14 years in both the House and Senate.
He's usually gotten what he wants on tougher laws to protect children against Internet predators, meth dealers and identity thieves - all areas that have benefited attorneys general elsewhere with voters. He's also received funding to upgrade the crime lab, which uses more modern blood testing compared to what the review examined.
Cooper received widespread praise for handling another high-profile crisis. In 2007, he tossed out charges against three Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of rape and declared them innocent after problems with the local prosecutor's case.
In the lab review, it's now Cooper who will be on the defensive.
"You're thrown softballs by political issues and events, and you're able to hit them out," said Andy Taylor, a political science professor at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. "Here's an issue where it's gone the other way around he's been served up a real fastball."
It ain't pretty, and Attorney General Roy Cooper is getting roughed up badly.
See the next story for the tie-in to the DukeLax Frame.
It appears the NandO is FINALLY doing some real reporting for a change.
A former prosecutor said ramifications from the
report, authored by two former FBI agents, could be
more damaging to the state's criminal justice system
than the Duke lacrosse affair.
Shades of Nifong
The Duke lacrosse case hinged on a similar
decision to withhold evidence.
District Attorney Mike Nifong was disbarred and
eventually spent a day in jail for failing to provide
DNA evidence to defense attorneys representing
lacrosse players from Duke University charged with
raping a woman.
The lab results showed that other men, but none of
the suspects, had been in contact with the woman.
Add North Carolina to the list along with Tennessee, New York, California, Washington and Colorado state crime labs....
Oh yeah and the wonderful FBI crime lab
Anyone see a pattern here?
Long ago we said that the Duke Lacrosse Frame could not have happened without there being a "culture of corruption" in the North Carolina justice system.
This proves it.
Be very careful what is said, NC state troopers are watching.
In cases like these, the Nifong type offenders should be subject to the same amount of jail time as they were trying to impose on those they were unjustly trying to convict. This kind of crap would end in an instant.
Additionally, all attorneys involved in any court hearings should be subject to the same court rules as any average citizen compelled to give testemony. Isn't it strange the only ones speaking in a court room who are not under oath are the attorneys and the Judge?
Well, when your legislature has been Democrat since 1868, there's bound to be some corruption.
LOL, I'll tell them just what I tell all the Louisiana politicians I write about in my local blog - I'm in the phone book.
And I'm wondering why.
Excellent point. I never realized that.
As I was doing my morning posting to the Liestoppers BB on the DukeLax Frame, I had that exact same thought. I would like to think that us hard-core DukeLax case followers who post and debate daily on that site finally wore the NandO down and shamed them into doing some real reporting.
Or it could have been they finally decided they had two choices - do reporting or go out of business.
Whatever made them do it, it is welcome.
Something is happening in the belly of the beast. Combine this with the story from Cleveland and it appears some reporters may actually be trying to do their job.
FWIW, I'll wait 'til I understand their motivation :)
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
William Blake
That's not exactly right. Lawyers aren't put under oath during the trial, but as "officers of the court" they are required to uphold their oath of office. If they lie or mislead they are subject to penalties (including disbarment and jail time). Judges are a little more complicated - usually there's a commission that investigates corrupt judges. And yes, judges do get removed and lawyers get disbarred.
Andy Taylor? Isn't he the sheriff in Mayberry?
Working a Louisiana story for my local blog on that very subject.
We lost a judge this week.
Ralph Boone? I subscribe to emails from y'all politics. That sort of keeps me up on Mississippi politics.
I think that there has to be some room for debate - and I REALLY don't think it is a good idea for a defense atty. to be required to "tell the whole truth."
This has the chance to discredit police and set murderers free (along with the innocents who have been wrongly convicted based on this corruption). Trust me, the news couldn't care less about the innocent (outside the damage this does to the justice system)... they are overjoyed that criminals have a chance to beat the rap...
There is no North Carolina "justice system." It is a collection of black-robed Mafia Dons, along with gun-toting knee-cappers who masquerade as cops. And they are aided by lawyers who use it as a revolving money machine to extract tribute from a public who is too intimidated to fight back.
For over four years (ever since The Duke Lacrosse Frame blew up) I have carefully kept up with North Carolina's set up. Long ago I concluded that Louisiana's justice system is cleaner and more honest that that of North Carolina.
And that's saying something.
Yes, but who watches the hen house? They are only beholden to the Bar and who controlls the Bar? Look at how long it took the Duke LX kids to get aquitted of their charges, and how much money was spent by their families defending them against a stacked deck.
I have said it before and will contine to do so. The judicial system in this country has gone from what was intended to be the forum to decide right from wrong. Sadly it has turned into nothing more than a life support system to the barrister class.
As a litigant in a civil case or two, I always wondered what business it was of the court as to how much each side had paid or agreed to pay their attorneys before a judgement is given. It should have no pertinence to the case and it should be a post judgement issue to determine who pays what based from the decision.
If this is true and the Prosecutors involved knew about it they should be indicted on charges of Murder in the First Degree.
I live in Raleigh and have been reading this series. It's by Joe Neff who is the reporter who finally got the N&O on the straight and narrow about Mangum and Nifong.
And interestingly enough, the NC SBI DNA's report said there was no DNA on Mangum. It was why Nifong went and hired (at taxpayer expense) a private lab that could run a more sensitive test.
It's simple. As far as the bleeding heart N&O is concerned, almost everyone is falsely imprisoned. If they can get some guilty people out of jail they'll be happy. Every time I hear a falsely imprisoned man has been freed, I celebrate. However, my happiness is destroyed by the realization that some other man got away with it.
I'm optimistic that this thing will help collapse the house of cards that is the North Carolina 'justice system.'
Some Crime Lab—sitting around all day with their thumbs up their asses!
They should all go to jail.
"Forensic science" is largely a joke to begin with. Aside from DNA identification, which was developed by actual scientists, most areas of forensic science were developed by cops, with predictable results. Ballistic matching, "hair and fibers", blood spatter analysis, and even fingerprinting have little basis in actual science.
Yet, because of shows like CSI, juries take forensic evidence as gospel. Hopefully, stories like this will lead to a wider re-examination of our criminal justice system's reliance on junk science.
They sure didn't teach me that in law school.
I like how about half the space in this article is given to protecting Roy Cooper's reputation.
Forensic evidence in and of itself is not "gospel". However, it is used to build a case to beyond the point of "reasonable doubt". One fingerprint won't get someone convicted, but couple it with hair, footprints, tire tracks, unique clothes fibers, etc., etc., and you can be "reasonably certain" that someone has done a crime. It is most certainly NOT a "joke".
Exept, apparently, in the case of my own state's blood analysis lab.

By David Wheeler/Special to the Journal
NEW ALBANY – Up until Saturday, Baldwyn head coach Jason McKay was the only person on his bench that could claim a victory over the Tupelo Golden Wave.
McKay has a bunch of Bearcats as company now.
In a featured contest at the annual Hot Bed Classic, the Bearcats held off the Golden Wave 65-61.
"This was a game of spurts, and we had more spurts than them," said McKay, who had beaten Tupelo as a player for the Bearcats. "You have to give Tupelo a lot of credit.
"Because of the size of the school, no matter where they play, every time they go out, it's a big game."
After battling to a 12-12 tie in the first quarter, the big game belonged to the Bearcats (21-1) much of the next two quarters. Baldwyn edged in front 25-20 at the half, and used an 8-0 run by freshman Duke Upshaw and senior Tevin Lindsey to moved ahead 47-34 after three quarters.
But Tupelo had some gas left in the tank.
J. J. Ashby scored 16 points in the final period, including two field goals as part of a 9-0 run that pulled Tupelo (14-10) within 53-52 with 2 minutes, 52 seconds to play. Then a Jordan Garmon basket with 2:25 left knotted the contest at 54-54.
'Good lesson'
"This game was a good lesson for us that we've got make the simple plays," Tupelo head coach Jeff Norwood said. "There was a rebound we fought for and didn't get that was key."
The rebound that Baldwyn earned was by Romaro Crump, who made the ensuing two free throws with 2:03 left From there, Upshaw scored seven points in the final 1:32 to preserve the win.
Upshaw paced Baldwyn with 21 points, and Ashby hit 18 for Tupelo.

CHICKASHA – Both USAO Drover soccer teams dominated the Tabor College Bluejays from minute one in a game Friday afternoon in Chickasha.
The Drover women (4-1-1) almost shut out the Lady Bluejays but gave up a goal with seconds left in the game and won 7-1. The men (6-0) netted 11 goals in the 90 minutes of play, and won the game — but they may have lost a star player for the season.
The women's game started off right, with a goal by junior Emily Stevenson one minute into the game. Her goal was off an assist from Calli Cooper. Cooper, a sophomore from Norman, stood out Friday afternoon with her second hat trick in a row. In addition to her three goals, she had two assists.
Right on her heals, however, was team captain Taylor Fain, who scored two goals and had an assist. Brittany Jay also scored Friday.
Despite a 7-1 win, Coach Jimmy Hampton said he feels like the team is struggling a bit.
"But we're just going to have to work our way out," he said.
The Drover men also started off the game strong, with Breno Figueiredo scoring within the first minute of play.
But it was Nikola Cakarevic who shined Friday after scoring five goals and one assist against the Bluejays.
Nicolas Alberto had two goals and an assist, and Richard Norman also scored two goals. Daniel Gibson scored the final goal for the Drovers on a penalty kick.
Last year's leading scorer, David Otieno, helped the Drovers with four assists Friday before going down and sustaining a likely season-ending injury. Coaches and trainer Chris Basco think Otieno tore his MCL.
"The men played sharp. It's disappointing to lose All-American David Otieno to a knee injury for the season," Hampton said. "I feel for him, and I hate it for our team."
The Drovers open conference play next week with conference rival Oklahoma City University. The Stars will be looking for revenge against the USAO men's team, which defeated OCU last year to win the Sooner Athletic Conference Championship and receive a bid to the National Tournament. The games begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Drover Pitch.

Smith's Office of Global Initiatives hosted 75 Chinese MBA students from Peking University's Guanghua School of Management in Beijing – one of China's premiere business schools – for two weeks last month in College Park. The students, most of whom had never been to the United States, traveled to Maryland to experience business education in an American setting.
The two groups were on campus from July 7 to 19 and attended special courses with Smith faculty Rosallina Ferraro, Xiaohui Gao, Brent Goldfarb, Mary Harms, Sunil Mithas, Janet Wagner, Liu Yang and Jie Zhang.

Nazem Kadri's fitness isn't a big issue, for now

It took less than an hour for the first Toronto Maple Leafs'-related controversy to manifest itself out of Marlies camp this morning. Nazem Kadri, who spent all offseason with Gary Roberts, underwhelmed in Dallas Eakins' physical tests to start off camp.
Per Jonas Siegel:
Kadri didn't exact blow away the competition in on-ice testing. D'Amigo and Deschamps far stronger in the final test.— Jonas Siegel (@jonasTSN1050) September 28, 2012
Siegel also quotes Dallas Eakins as saying that "His body fat today is probably in the bottom three to five guys in our whole camp and that's unacceptable."
But this isn't a huge, huge problem. For now.
Oddly enough, Eakins discussed how his own fitness testing procedures could come up with sloppy data last night at media day:
"You will see immediately who the fittest players are and who had the nicest summer. These tests are something, like I said, we're going to try them, they might work out great. It's something that I believe in and hopefully something that will carry on long into my future with the testing.
"And then again, they might suck. We might not get the data that we want and we'll have to tweak 'em. So I'm going to try it, but I'm never going to fall into this old adage thinking that you know 'this is the only way you test hockey players' I'm always looking for new ways to do it."
So either the testing, or Kadri's results are going to be tweaked.
For Kadri, he spent the summer with Roberts in his fitness program and maintaining a rigorous diet. For the uninitiated, just think a lot of beans and a lot of quinoa. The camp itself is just as rigorous.
According to journalist John Matisz, who described the camp in some detail when outlining the steps Belleville Bulls' prospect Brendan Gaunce went through in his draft season, the camp consists of four weight lifting days and two cardio days, to "present future NHL stars with an all-encompassing platform where they're able to get the most out of their bodies over a long term," [1]
The camp is geared towards fitness, but also endurance and durability to keep players healthy for the longest time. After one day of testing, I think that the point of the camp isn't so that Nazem Kadri is the first out of the starting blocks on Day 1 of hockey, but so that he hasn't lost a step by Day 100 or Day 150.
"What I try to emphasize to these guys is that it doesn't happen over one summer. My mission statement is that I had longevity through a lot of challenges. My goal is to hopefully help these young players avoid the challenges I had, but still have that ability to have longevity," Gary Roberts is quoted as saying. [2]
"When you are riding the bike every day or running on the treadmill with a mouthpiece in your mouth it's a whole different story.
"I've put on four or five pounds," he said. "I'm at 185-186 pounds. I wanted to make sure I was lean and fast. My lower body explosiveness is hands-down a lot better."
In many ways Kadri's whole summer will be measured in fitness tests. Should he be declared one of the fitter Marlies, he will have delivered solid evidence of his readiness before a skate hits the ice.
There is one caveat.
"To be honest after these tests are done I might treat myself to one burger," he said. "We'll see."
This isn't the worst case scenario for Kadri. It sounds like Eakins' tests are quite new and deserve a bit of tweaking. This has yet to affect Kadri in a game situation.
**[1] [2] - Quotes from Draft Year; Brendan Gaunce
September 28 2012, 11:00AM
Tough love by Eakins or lack of commitment from Kadri? I'll wait until I see him hit the ice myself before I judge too harshly.
This isn't a Dustin Byfluglien scenario just yet.
September 28 2012, 11:03AM
My personal opinion: I like Kadri, but this isn't the first time we've heard this. Most of the Leafs and Marlies I've spoken to adore Eakins, so I hardly think it's Eakins being a hard-ass.
Mario Lemieux was laughed at for his fitness scores. Mark Messier used to hate camp. This isn't the end of the world, but it could definitely be better news.

Leafs organization find something every year to knock this kids enthusiasm down and its starting to piss me off.
Its common knowledge the level of dedication he put forth this off season and it makes me sick to hear them calling him out publicly like this, unless truly justified, and I do not know how it could be.

The only way I could agree with this comment more is if I had written it myself. Well said, Craig... I feel exactly the same way.

Not fun. (Newest from git, linux64)
Cannot launch Due IDE 1.5.1 on OS/X (10.7.5):Just downloaded a few minutes ago.
Nick, probably you have the hardware folder populated, there is a bug that crashes the IDE (we introduced it in the last beta, due to the new Boards menu with sub-options). We are working on it.I guess we need a more frequent release schedule.
Try "ant clean" first.
ou mean if I have some things like the Attiny in my Arduino default folder (for support of the other chip types) then the Due IDE won't start? I take it that is what you are saying.
Still, it's good to have stress testing, eh?
... but now I feel stupid. Got any ant argument for that?
"Launch4j" An error occurred while starting the application

UPDATE: Oregon House passes illegal-immigrant tuition bill
SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- The Oregon House has voted to extend resident college tuition rates to some young illegal immigrants.
The House's 38-18 vote on Friday sends the measure to the Senate. In the last decade, similar legislation has failed twice in the House after passing the Senate.
The measure would allow students to qualify for in-state tuition at the Oregon's seven public universities if they've attended an Oregon high school for at least three years and lived in the United States for at least five. They'd also have to sign an affidavit swearing they'll apply to legalize their immigration status as soon as they are eligible.
Illegal immigrants would not be eligible for state or federal financial aid. They would be subject to the same entrance requirements as other applicants.

Nice read POW.. like always!
- Though I don't see Sasuke getting or using Hashirama's powers. It just doesn't fit.. and remember what Itachi said to Sasuke: Madara is became a shell of his former self, he isn't even WORTHED for wielding the title of a " True Uchiha " anymore.
This means that Sasuke will increase his powers through anger/hatred to another level; and Oro's scroll is going to help him from step 1 to 3. There's a reason why Juugo reacted like that, near that cave. I think that Juugo's powers is very close related to Nature; something close to the lineage of the younger son ( Juugo feeling all in peace with birds flying around him etc.. )
Juugo already have half of his powers to Sasuke, when he was gettin beaten by Killer Bee. Later on; we saw him extract the life out of a Samurai and grew from a child looking person to a grown man. Juugo's sacrifice will be needed, for giving some powers to Sasuke ( which could be written down on that scroll ).
Orochimaru was after the sharingan and needed an Uchiha body. Orochimaru with all his experiments, could have founded a way for evolving Sharingan --> Rinnegan, and it's not going to be Hashirama's powers this time: it could be Juugo's.
That's why Sasuke will not be using Mokuton at all, and too be honest: I don't want Naruto to use it either. You're totally right by saying that it was all a forshadowing when Edo Madara came into the picture and showed off his powers. Everybody thinks that Rasen-Shuriken was too much for Edo Madara, and that's why he used Rinnegan.
Who says that Perfect Susanoo couldn't stop such power?? Rasen Shuriken was so close, so he probably didn't had to for summoning Susanoo; thats why he used Rinnegan + this way Kishimoto made him look fuckin badass when he used Rinnegan after his EMS.
I also still think, that Itachi will give him something with his poke on his forehead; will it be a flashback of Uchiha Massacre, or the Totsuka Sword + Mirror?
Imagine Sasuke's Pefect Susanoo with 4 arms, wielding; arrow, Bow, Mirror and Totsuka Sword.. and lets say that he will get the Rinnegan also. Now, Naruto has to mix his Sage into this Kyuubi Mode and his final power up, will be the soul power of all the other Bijuu's.
I completely agree with you, that Tobi will try to use Sasuke's body for a sacrifice; his plan for reviving Madara back into the picture. And like you said; he could only do that, when Sasuke has the Rinnegan ( without Rinnegan, Sasuke will die immediately ). And the funny thing is: even IF SASUKE gets the Rinnegan, he will still die eventually, because his body doesn't has the necessary nature LIFE FORCE / PHYSICAL POWERS, like Naruto does. This was probably the reason why Edo Madara died back in the days; he became a manipulated version of SO6P.. he wasn't destined.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Fausett's Mortuary has a long history of service in Emery and Carbon counties. The mortuary in Castle Dale is located at 720 North Center Street. This facility has recently undergone a makeover. The front door has been replaced. New carpeting has been installed throughout the building. New furniture as well as light fixtures have been added and a fresh coat of beige paint enhances the walls of the interior. The bathroom has new fixtures and a new paint job as well.
The Furner brothers, Michael and Steven have been involved with the process of making the Fausett Mortuary as inviting and comforting to families as it can be. Plans for outside landscaping will also come into play as warmer weather approaches.
Steven said he worked for Greg and Grant Fausett about 10-12 years ago. When Greg passed away in July 2006, his wife, Terri, called the Furner brothers to ask them if they would be interested in coming back to help operate the mortuaries in Price and Castle Dale. Michael came back first, he was working in St. George at the time. Steven came in August 2007 and had been working in Oklahoma at the time of the offer to join a partnership with the Fausetts.
Steven said they attended Greg's viewing and mentioned to the family if they needed help to let them know. Grant is still involved in the business and helps out. Grant is the original founder of the Fausett Mortuary. The business started in 1959. Grant purchased the funeral home that was just south of the post office in Castle Dale. In the 1960s the family built a funeral home in Price. In the mid-1970s the current facility in Castle Dale was constructed.
Steven said his family lives in the apartment at the mortuary. "We try to make things as convienient for the families as possible. Having someone here at all times really helps out. We can do everything we need to do from our Castle Dale facility so families don't have to travel to Price. We take care of the deceased person and they remain here at the facility until the funeral and burial. Steven's family consists of his wife, Carol and four children; TJ is 16, Jessica 14, Becca 10 and Trey, 8.
"When someone passes away, we can make all the necessary notifications for a family. We meet with the families and make all the arrangements. We schedule the funeral and the viewing. We want everyone to know we make house calls and we are always on call 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We have night time pick-up of deceased people. We know most people aren't ready for death, and we try to take care of their loved one, the same way we would treat our own mother or father. The trust that people have in you is incredible," said Steven.
Michael said, "My family and I live in the Price Mortuary. My wife's name is Tiffany and we have two daughers, Mikell who is 5 and MaKenna is 6 months. We work very closely with the Castle Dale Mortuary. When one of us starts working with a family then we meet with them the entire time and take care of the funeral for them. We work closely with the families and help them through the troubling time of losing a loved one. We work with families from Green River, too and many families that have left the area, but want to bring their loved one home to be buried. Having two locations really helps out with the families who have to travel down here. Sometimes we meet with families coming from the Wasatch Front at our Price facility even though the funeral and burial will be in Emery County. We just do whatever the families need us to do," said Michael.
Steven said, "We help the families to plan and personalize the funerals. We want the funeral to help tell the story of the person who has died. If the person was a rancher sometimes we will put their brand on the casket. Whatever the families want. We are here to help. We are entrusted with their loved one. We perform a service for the family. We become very close to the families we work with. A funeral helps the survivors to share memories of the deceased person.
"We have an after care program, too for the survivors. Oftentimes a widow won't know where to turn after the services are over and everyone goes home, it can be a period of confusion and loneliness for them. We will meet with families afterwards and help them with notifications of social security, veteran's administration, UMWA, retirements and others. We have all the necessary forms here and are glad to provide that service," said Steven.
Michael said, "A lot of the families are overwhelmed and they don't know who to notify. We don't want people to worry and wonder if they've done everything. This aftercare is just a continuation of our service. We will make notifications to clergy and call the cities to have the grave sites opened. We take care of the obituaries to whichever newspapers the families request."
Steven said that business is steady and there always seems to be paperwork to do. "We really love it here in Castle Dale. I've joined the Lion's Club, we are involved with our church. We just want to give back to our community. That is one of the reasons we wanted to update our facility here in Castle Dale, to give back to our community. We wanted to have a nice place to meet with families.
"Another service we offer is pre-planned funerals. This gives people peace of mind and takes some of the burden off the children when their parent passes away. Another advantage to pre-arranged funerals is you can freeze todays prices. You can also make payments so everything is paid for at the time of your passing. What better gift to give your children than the peace of mind to know that everything is taken care of when the time comes," said Steven.
The Furners have rearranged the way viewings are held in the building which makes better use of the space available. You enter the front doors and enter the large room through the large opening. The families and casket are along the side wall with the chairs set-up opposite the family. Steven said this works better than having everyone wait in the narrow hallway across from the bathroom and then enter the small room. The smaller room has been redecorated to be the meeting room with the families. Steven said funerals can be held at the facility if the families want that service. There are 150 chairs. "It's really a nice warm room to hold a funeral. Sometimes if the families aren't from here they will opt to have the services here. We often will go and pick up a loved one from a distant location and bring them back home. Sometimes an elderly person will leave the area to stay with a son or daughter and at the time of their passing, their wish is to come home. So we will travel and we do a lot of traveling to help out the families. We will also coordinate a cremation if that is what the person wanted.
"One distinction between a memorial service and a funeral is that at a funeral the body is present and at a memorial service the body isn't present. Sometimes memorial services are held and then when the cremation is complete, the burial can take place. Many people don't know a cremated person can be buried in the local cemetery," said Steven.
Michael said, "We want the families we work with to know they can ask us any question they have."
Steven said, "Death is just part of the process. It isn't something to be feared. It is a natural part of life. Death affects everyone in a different way. No two people handle the death of a loved one the same. Everyone grieves in a different way. People don't like to talk about death, but the more you know about it, the more understanding you will have. Death is a hard thing."
Michael said, "Another service we offer is tours for youth or civic groups and church groups. This gives people the chance to come into the mortuary and ask questions during a time where they aren't affected by a death. It can be a real learning experience. We don't want people to think of funeral homes as weird places. We want you to feel comfort here.
"We take good care of the deceased person. They are washed and bathed. Their hair is styled. If you have a stylist your loved one has used forever, they are welcome to come and fix the hair. The family also has the opportunity to dress their loved one, if they choose. But, that's not for everyone. Whatever the family wants and whatever they are comfortable with, that's how we take care of things. Every family deserves the best," said Michael.
When planning a funeral it's important to know the songs the person liked, what color they liked, what speakers they might want; everything that can be planned ahead leaves less decision making when families are in mourning. Michael said, "The programs can be personalized to represent the person. Make every effort to have a good picture of your loved ones. Make sure you take plenty of pictures while your loved ones are still alive. It is sometimes difficult to find a good photo at the time of a death. Planning ahead makes that easier. You want a good photo for the program and the obituary. One nice touch I like is an older photo which shows the person as they were in their youth. I remember when my grandma passed away and there was a young photo of her on the program and I thought, that's not the grandma I knew. Sometimes it's nice for the children to see the person as they were when they were young.
"Funerals are a time for families to come together and bring back good memories and reminisce and celebrate the life of the person who has passed on. During these times the families can buoy each other and support one another," said Michael.
Steven said their father worked for Walker Mortuary up north, he wasn't the funeral director, but would help with removals and funerals. Steven was curious about the business and worked as an apprentice for Walkers in Spanish Fork.
Michael helped out part-time for a funeral home in Heber. Stevem also worked in Sanpete County. Steven has been in the business now for 17 years and Michael for 11.
"We enjoy the opportunity to be of service," said Michael, "We really feel like it's more than a job, it's a calling to be a funeral director. At some point everyone is going to lose a loved one. We treat everyone with respect. We develop close bonds with those people we work with and have made life long friends. We can see the comfort in the family members eyes as we help them. A lot of our funerals take place on Saturdays and we both try to be there, but sometimes there are two funerals on the same day and Steven and I will have to split up to take care of those funerals."
The Furners also have part-time helpers Ken Callahan, Sherald Law, Hope Powell and Willard Young. Their wives, Carol and Tiffany also help with funerals. Grant Fausett is still active in the business.
The Furners and the Fausetts want the people of Carbon and Emery counties to know they are there for you in your time of need. Service is at the heart of Fausett's Mortuary.
The Furners can be reached in Castle Dale at 435-381-2551 and in Price at 435-637-1181.

Cardiff Blues picked up a 29-12 PRO12 win over Edinburgh on Sunday in a result that will give them confidence going into Europe.
Cardiff Blues picked up a 29-12 PRO12 win over Edinburgh on Sunday in a result that will give them confidence going into the Heineken Cup Pools.
Alex Cuthbert scored two tries in the victory, with his first score and eight points from Leigh Halfpenny giving the hosts a 13-12 interval lead.
Four penalties via Greig Laidlaw was the reply.
But the Blues dominated in the second half as Halfpenny added a trio of three-pointers and Wales' wing touched down for a key second try.
Cardiff and Edinburgh have struggled at the start of this campaign with the visitors going into the game in bottom position. It was therefore no surprise to see a cagey opening to proceedings as both teams looked to kick-start their seasons.
But it was Cardiff who began the encounter in the ascendency and a Halfpenny three-pointer put them in front after just four minutes. Laidlaw then levelled matters for the visitors before the Scotland international scrum-half kicked his second from the tee.
However, the Blues soon restored their lead when their full-back added a second three-pointer and Cuthbert touched down on the right wing.
Edinburgh continued to battle, though, and successive Laidlaw penalties brought them back to within one point at the break.
Cardiff went up a gear in the third quarter as their British and Irish Lions' full-back extended the advantage to 19-12 with a brace of three-pointers.
Cornell du Preez was then sin-binned as the Welsh region built yet another threatening attack and Halfpenny kicked the resultant opportunity.
With the opposition down to 14 men, the Blues surged forward once again and a superb move ended in Cuthbert touching down, which secured their second win of the season.
The scorers:
For Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Cuthbert 2
Con: Halfpenny 2
Pen: Halfpenny 5
For Edinburgh:
Pen: Laidlaw 4
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Owen Williams, 12 Cory Allen, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 Filo Paulo, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Matthew Rees (c), 1 Gethin Jenkins.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi is a sly bastard lol, Kageroza is screwed now that his been poisoned.
I was really hoping for Kageroza to get Nozomi so that he could be at his full power, I wanted to see Ichigo use Mugetsu again but it doesn't look like Kageroza will get that far.
And who the hell was that Ichigo saw in the light, Zangetsu? ...Well if his back on the Radar then his coming back to kill off Kageroza.
Damn Mayori is my favorite captain, him and Ken. Also, everytime I see a bleach episode I like Byakuya more and more. I'm missing them in the manga right now. Also, Bleach has the best fillers. This one is great so far. Kageroza is far from done for, only because Ichigo has to be the one to kill him, but it is interesting to see what'll happen next since he has been poisoned.
Thankx Xerenix. Pretty good episode, animation is top-notch as usual when it comes to bleach animation.
A bridge towards peace; the will of fire still endures!
Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
this was a dope episode, wonder how hes gonna get outta this mess, miyari is a beast as usual
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is a cunning bastard lol, Kageroza is screwed now, he was poisoned. Kageroza I really hope to get the hope that he can in his full strength, I want to see Ichigo again Mugetsu but it does not look like Kageroza would come this far. And who the hell is a care in the light to see, Zangetsu? ... ... Well, if he came back on the radar when he was killed Kageroza.
I'm loving Bleach a lot right now, seeing all the Captains in action was awesome. I agree these fillers are awesome and they usually are.
I really don't want Ichigo to come save the day again, I mean it's filler can't we mix it up a bit? After what happened in the manga can't the Captains maybe fend for themselves? A bit late to be saying that but seriously I'd love for the Captains to make mince meat of Kageroza and Ichigo return confused feelings useless.

"Shoes look much nicer than online, I accidentally scuffed them and to my surprise, they cleaned up easily with a bit of soap on a washcloth. Very nice color, comes with ribbon and cord shoe-strings! They are a bit thin but very strong material, however, I always wear gel-sole inserts in all my shoes, and they were perfect! I love them and would recommend them."

It's the holiday season and it's cause for celebration with family, friends and co-workers. It's also a time for some of us to get off track with health routines.
Temptation is everywhere: holiday office parties and celebrations with all the trimmings. So it's important to watch your food intake this month. According to the National Institute of Health, holiday eating can result in an extra pound or two every year, which really adds up over the years. These extra pounds can lead to an obesity problem down the road. We all know how hard it is to lose weight, so try not to add it on in the first place.
The holidays are also a time for reflection. For some, they can bring back memories of lost loved ones and good times past. If you suffer from depression, please seek counseling and reach out to someone. Another thing to be aware of is Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD is a type of depression that can be brought on – predominantly in the winter -from lack of daylight and shorter days during daylight savings. Also, holiday blues are nothing to ignore and nothing that alcohol can correct.
While we're on the subject of alcohol, make sure to watch your intake of eggnog and other alcoholic beverages this season. If you're going to a holiday office party and you're going to drink, plan ahead and get a ride; or arrange for a cab. If you really want to reward your employees for all their hard work this year, provide transportation and make sure everyone arrives alive! If you want to give a gift to your office, be the designated driver.
If you're looking for some expert advice on how to stay off the naughty list, the best remedy for all of the above is EXERCISE. Just because it's colder out, doesn't mean you shouldn't work out. Bundle up or invest in some indoor exercise equipment – it will pay for itself. If you're going to be exercising outside, be careful of ice on the road, a twisted ankle can easily sideline you. Also, with it being darker earlier, be sure to wear bright reflective clothing.
The most important thing I can recommend for the holidays is to relax. It's very easy to get caught up with deadlines, shopping, and family. Make sure you're managing your time and getting enough rest. And most importantly…have fun!
A great way to de-stress is to give back. Start a collection at your office and pick a cause to help take the burden off someone else. If you find your office is receiving a number of gift baskets and holiday lunches, there are a number of places to donate to during the holidays.
If you're looking for a good time with the family, visit Joe DiMartino's holiday display in Rossville. To date, Joe has raised over $100,000 for the pediatric cancer program at SIUH. It's a lot of fun and a great cause.
The DiMartino house is located at 107 Sharrotts Avenue on the South Shore of Staten Island (between Bloomingdale Rd. and Arthur Kill Rd.)
Have a happy, healthy and safe holiday!

We've notice for quite some time how Lee Jeans in Europe (aka Lee Europe) has a covetable collection of on-trend jeans for men and women, and they continue to surge forward for Fall-Winter 2012 with a range of colored jeans in tailored cuts and sleek silhouettes. You wouldn't even stop to think that its American counterpart collection could somehow be related, but we won't go there. We only hope Lee brings some of those yummy jeans stateside, because we're ready to have our minds changed. Yes, Lee Jeans might possibly be cool again in the U.S. Check out the gallery for all the velvety, sleek looks!

American Politics
The United States boasts the oldest, continuous constitutional democracy in the world. The ability of this nation to withstand everything from economic change such as the industrial revolution, to social changes such as the civil rights revolutions, to international threats in the modern age including terrorism and globalism, mark the study of the American experience. The Florida Atlantic University American Politics program provides students with a strong understanding of the fundamentals of political science theory and methodology in the context of the American experience. Students of American Politics study policymaking, political institutions, and processes. The study of institutions includes political organizations, the Presidency, Congress, and the courts, which are analyzed from both a U.S. and a comparative perspective. Students may also study political behavior and processes such as public opinion, elections, political parties, social movements, and the influences of media and popular culture from sources such as political film and fiction. Students learn to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze political science phenomena, to understand the philosophical underpinnings of the American political system, and to develop an appreciation of and ability to compare the United States to other political systems.
Comparative Politics
The sub-field of comparative politics encompasses a broad range of issues, areas, and theoretical perspectives, all of which are combined to understand and explain current political phenomena. Comparative politics invites the scholar, the professor, and the student to research, teach, and learn about a great many interests in political science. Cultural, institutional, rational choice, and structural approaches offer frameworks for analyzing issues such as development, democratization, and regime change, using the comparative method. In addition to the expertise in major comparative schools of thought, professors in the Department of Political Science have been recognized and published in areas in which they also offer courses: Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
International Relations
International relations, a branch of political science, is the study of foreign affairs and relations among among states within the international system, including the roles of states, inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations. It is both an academic and public policy field, and can be either positive or normative as it both seeks to analyze as well as formulate foreign policy.
Apart from political science, IR draws upon such diverse fields as economics, history, law, philosophy, geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and cultural studies. It involves a diverse range of issues, from globalization and its impacts on societies and state sovereignty, to ecological sustainability, nuclear proliferation, nationalism, economic development, terrorism, organized crime, and human rights.
Public Law and Policy
Are you interested in how public policy is developed and implemented or how public agencies work? The Public Law and Policy program blends theory with practice in addressing such concerns. The program provides students with knowledge and skills in the areas of organization behavior, public budgeting and finances, public management, policy analysis, program evaluation, and computer applications. Students develop expertise in one or more substantive areas and research methodologies.

Imagine an engine that maximizes fuel efficiency without sacrificing its robust power, a drivetrain that actually turns off to save fuel while at a stoplight and restarts seamlessly, a hybrid system that charges from the normally wasted energy produced when the brakes are applied, and a car that does all this without sacrificing its performance or luxury.
All of this is possible with eAssist, a fuel-efficient technology that makes none of the typical compromises of a traditional hybrid. Each eAssist vehicle has a compact electric motor and a lithium-ion battery that couples to a standard internal combustion engine. When you accelerate from a standstill or anytime the engine is under a heavier load, the electric motor assists the engine, reducing the amount of fuel you use; but that is only one characteristic of the technology.
The technology features "start-stop," which helps when stuck in traffic, a common occurrence that is not only frustrating but also a tremendous waste of fuel. According to the U.S. Treasury, 1.9 billion gallons of gasoline are squandered annually by motorists stuck in traffic. To address this problem, stop-start turns your engine off when you come to a complete stop and turns it back on when you press the accelerator again. As a component of eAssist, stop-start is even better because the transition from on to off and off to on is seamless and often goes unnoticed.
There is also clever efficiency taking place even before you come to a complete stop. The lithium-ion battery that powers the eAssist motor, as any battery, needs to be charged. Unlike many hybrids, however, the battery is not charged solely by the engine; it is also charged by the brakes. Regenerative braking charges the battery via a generator that is engaged when you apply the brakes. As you come to a stop, forward energy from the momentum of your car is not wasted but instead converts that energy and is used to recharge your battery.
Hybrids have long had the reputation of being either underpowered or unrefined in transition between electric motor and combustion engine. This is where eAssist really shines. A 2014 Buick Lacrosse with a 2.4-liter ECOTEC Direct Injection 4-cylinder engine with eAssist technology produces a healthy 180 horsepower and 172 ft-lb. of torque. Even with that power, this technology makes it possible for a midsize luxury sedan to provide an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway. As with the start-stop function, eAssist is seamless in its efficiency. That power and economy is delivered in a package that is smooth and uncompromising in both its luxury and performance.

Public interest in documenting and preserving German-Russian ethnic identity inspired the launch of the project in 2005. From 2005 to 2009, organizers traveled the Northern Plains, gathering stories and documenting family relationships and childhood memories of second and third generation Germans from Russia. Jessica Clark, received the Germans from Russia History Doctoral Fellowship and coordinated the project.
The holiday special will include interviews from the project and scholarly commentary from Clark. The program features 21 narrators from the Northern Plains. Listeners will learn about memories such as William Adam Merkel Jr.'s recollection of real candles on Christmas trees and Elda (Schultz) Rasch's first experience with Christmas lights. Lyla (Pressler) Johnson will share memories of Christmas with her cousins while Robert R. Gab will reminisce about Santa Claus keeping him and his siblings awake.
The NDSU Libraries' Germans from Russia Heritage Collection and Prairie Public provide major funding for the program. A CD of the holiday special is available for $20. To order the CD, contact Acacia Stuckle, special collections associate, at (701) 231-6596 or email@example.com.
The program can be heard on North Dakota stations 90.5 FM in Bismarck, 89.9 FM in Dickinson, 91.7 FM in Devils Lake, 91.9 FM in Fargo, 89.3 FM in Grand Forks, 91.5 FM in Jamestown, 88.9 FM in Minot and 89.5 FM in Williston.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
It sometimes can. If you're at high risk of sudden cardiac death, your doctor will usually suggest that you avoid competitive sports. Depending on your underlying condition, medical or surgical treatments may be recommended to reduce your risk of sudden death.
Another option for some, such as those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). This is a pager-sized device implanted in your chest like a pacemaker. An ICD continuously monitors your heartbeat. If a life-threatening arrhythmia occurs, the ICD delivers electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm.
There's debate in the medical community about screening young athletes to attempt to identify those at high risk of sudden death.
Some countries such as Italy screen young people with the use of an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), which records the electrical signals present in the heart. However, this type of screening sometimes leads to false-positive results — indications that an abnormality or disease is present when in fact it is not — which can cause unnecessary worry and additional tests.
It's not clear that sudden cardiac death can be prevented by the types of routine physical exams that are often necessary to be cleared to play competitive sports.
There are some things you can do if you're worried about your risk factors. For example, if someone in your family dies young, it's important that an autopsy be done to determine the cause of death. If the autopsy shows that a heart condition caused the death, screening of family members may be necessary.
For example, if the autopsy showed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it's recommended that all first-degree relatives of the deceased be checked for this condition, including parents, siblings and children. Repeat screening of family members is recommended over time, even if the first evaluation of their heart was normal.
If you're at risk of sudden cardiac death, talk to your doctor about your physical activity level. Whether you can participate in exercise or sports depends on your condition.
For some disorders, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it's often recommended that you avoid most competitive sports, but this doesn't mean that you will need to avoid exercise altogether. Talk to your doctor about what sort of activities and behaviors you should avoid.

Alex Edler Likely Suspended for Part of Olympics
Blake Murphy
July 29 2013 01:40PM
Back on May 16 during the World Hockey Championships, Alex Edler hammered Eric Staal with a brutal looking knee-on-knee hit. On the 17th, the IIHF handed down an open-ended suspension, one that was to be for the remainder of the tournament and...ellipses. There was no closing date to his suspension.
Now that the NHL and IOC have an agreement in place for NHL players to participate in the 2014 Sochi Games, the situation needs to be sorted out. That's why Edler recently had a hearing with the IIHF Disciplinary Committee, one that doesn't seem to have gone well for the 6'3" lefty.
If you need a quick refresher on the incident that Edler, his agent and the Committee were reviewing in Zurich, here is the hit, complete with Staal writhing like he's in Kurt Angle's ankle lock:
That's some pretty bad stuff, and it's no wonder Edler got a lengthy suspension. Sweden played two more games in the tourney and it appears Edler will sit out another pair, bringing the total punishment to four games.
News 1130 had it first, I believe, with words from Edler's agent indicating he'd get another two games:
The agent for Canucks defenseman Alex Edler says that he expects the International Ice Hockey Federation to tack on an additional two games to Edler's suspension for injuring Carolina Hurricanes forward Eric Staal during last spring's World Hockey Championship.
Edler met with IIHF officials on the weekend and agent Mark Stowe tells News1130 Sports that the ruling could become official as soon as today. It would mean that Edler would miss the first two games for Sweden at the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
It's difficult to judge the suspension based on historical precedent. It's a four-game suspension, which isn't all that rare in the NHL (there were seven four-plus game suspensions in the lockout shortened 2012-13 season), but given the short nature of international competitions, four feels like a long suspension in IIHF terms. There's also far less precedent to compare it to. Griffin Reinhart received four games for a high stick at the World Juniors this year, so perhaps the IIHF is pushing a more hard-lined approach with disciplinary issues.
For the Canucks, there's little impact here. In fact, one could argue that the Olympics taking less of a toll on Edler is good for the team down the stretch. Edler is pretty good, especially on the offensive side of things where his inconsistencies are less obvious, so the suspension takes away a potential weapon for the blue-and-yellow. The Swedes are pretty deep on the back end, as The Score describes in the final paragraph here, and it's now possible Edler misses the Olympics altogether. If he does miss the entire event thanks to this suspension, there's a spin to be put on it that this was a de facto six-plus game suspension.
I'm quite curious to hear what the Army's reaction to this discipline is. Four games for a pretty brutal knee-on-knee seems like it's in the right ballpark, but should the scale for suspensions be altered when it comes to international play?
There's no sugar coating this hit no matter who throws it. 4 games seems fair to me.
I never thought the hit looked intentional, but players need to be aware enough to avoid these sorts of collisions because they can end careers. Four games seems reasonable.
IIHF has always been tough on suspensions, i don't see why he should be an exception. even with clean open ice hits, they have come down very hard if the other player was injured. 4 games is plenty fair.
Always hated knee on knee hits and usually the are from lazy defensive skating and being caught out of position when the forward tries to go around. Dont know why Edler seemed to be the last guy back in the play but stuff like that better not happen in a Nucks uni! 4 games seems fair

I think knee-on-knee hits are pretty much always unintentional (perhaps excepting Bryan Marchment) and it doesn't even take that much bad luck to make on happen. There is no reason to think Edler was aiming for the result that happened here, but as others have said, there has to be an onus on the hitting player to take extra care avoid danger, so I don't have much issue with the suspension either.
I would say this more or less guarantees he'll be left off the squad, which is too bad for his profile, but maybe not the worst thing in the world when it comes to the Canucks. I still remember how bad of a blow it was to lose Sami Salo to injury in Turin in 2006.
