Just how valuable is this Luke Schenn character?
Cam Charron
June 13 2012 08:24AM
First the Toronto Maple Leafs were shopping Luke Schenn. Then they weren't, and Brian Burke was taking pot shots at Hockey Night in Canada for no particular reason other than Eliotte Friedman reported "rumblings" coming from somewhere.
Schenn still draws discussion about his size, his ferocity (feracity? ferociousness?) and his potential. He was a really good skater and puck mover in junior and those talents have yet to carry over to the NHL. Which brings us to the main question: "Can he PLAY?"
And the answer is "well, maybe."
Schenn, the fifth overall pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, never went back to Kelowna for another junior season. He was tossed right into the NHL as a 19-year old along with fellow high draftee defencemen Drew Doughty and Zach Bogosian. After playing out the three years in his entry level deal, Schenn was signed to a 5-year deal worth $18M in September. For those of you who don't have 18 million fingers to count with, that makes his cap hit $3.6M a year.
It's not the worst contract, but it isn't a bargain for a guy who hasn't exactly proved too much at the NHL-level. Doughty was a critical component of Los Angeles' Stanley Cup run and Alex Pietrangelo has become a two-way force on St. Louis' blue-line. Schenn, like Bogosian, hasn't seen too much NHL success, playing in an easier role.
So yeah, Luke, he of "one pretty good NHL year" -
|Corsi Rel
|Rel Cor QoC
The Rel Cor QoC indicates Schenn's quality of competition, and Corsi Rel indicates Schenn's possession levels via a shot attempt differential metric, pro-rated for sixty minutes of play. I didn't include offensive zone start percentage because he's generally started just as many shifts in the offensive to the defensive zone every year of his career.
What this chart indicates, to the un-initiated, is that Schenn had a very good 2011 season as a 21-year old. He was a plus-Corsi player against above-average competition, and the Leafs moved the puck when Schenn was on the ice than not. He also played 18 minutes of even strength per game. 18 minutes! That is a legitimate top-four hockey paying defenceman!
Unfortunately, if you just look at his stats last season, you see a replacement third pairing defenceman. What happened to the 21-year old Luke Schenn? Was he playing under too much pressure of a new contract?
Then again, he is just 22. Andrew Bates discussed a few month's ago Schenn's up and down season and the roles that Ron Wilson was putting him in last season:
I'm not going to say that I'm disappointed in Ron Wilson's benching of Schenn against the Oilers (as we won the game). Maybe Schenn needed a kick in the ass, but it's unfortunate to see a young player that we've seen do so well at times get scratched and hardly play when he is dressed. Something I am disappointed in is that Keith Aulie continues to get playing time, and in Wednesday's case over Schenn. Aulie has actually averaged more ice time then Schenn at 5v5 this year, which is beyond confusing.
You hate to see a coaching staff mis-use a young defenceman. It seems like the Leafs never let Schenn get into a groove. He'd play 16 minutes one night and 11 the next based on some pretty arbitrary reasoning.
One game is too small a sample size for a coaching staff to determine whether a player is any good or not. It's fine to ease a guy into a certain role and up his minutes and his level of competition, but you can't go "all in" one night and "not at all" the next. If they don't trade Schenn, I'd hope that they go into next season with a plan mapped out: the amount of minutes and the calibre of his opponents', and stick to that plan so Schenn learns his role going forward and they can re-assess the situation at the quarter pole.
The 2011 campaign was the only one where Schenn gave us a reason to be optimistic, but keep in mind how few defencemen play at the NHL level this much before they turn 23. Post-lockout, only Schenn, Drew Doughty and Marc-Edouard Vlasic have played 290 games before their 23-year old season. In the last 20 years, that list gets stretched to include Roman Hamrlik, Oleg Tverdovsky, Kyle McLaren, Wade Redden, Scott Niedermayer and Bryan Berard.
Now, not everybody on that list are potential all stars, but every player was a serviceable NHL defenceman in a good top four at some point. The full list is here. The striking difference between Schenn and everybody else is his offensive numbers. Like Vlasic, Schenn has just 14 NHL goals in his first four seasons.
It takes defensive defencemen a little longer to develop. If Schenn became Marc-Edouard Vlasic at some point, that would be perfect. It's difficult to compare those two defencemen because Vlasic has had a clearly defined role since the beginning of the "Behind the Net" era; he's played against above-average competition and has started a good amount more shifts in his defensive zone every single season. He also plays for a more stable organization so there's more room for error.
Still, Vlasic never had a positive Relative Corsi until he was 23. The caveat being that he played pretty tough minutes on a very good team, but it took him a while to become elite, and he backed up a strong 23-year old season by dramatically improving at 24.
Schenn was drafted fifth, so there is some NHL talent in that body. It needs to be properly harnessed. The Leafs should only trade him if they don't think they can do that. Switching his role from game-to-game and season-to-season isn't helping a guy who has been developing as an 18-year old in the NHL since 2008.
The $3.9M cap hit means they can't exactly be patient with him any more, but there's a top-four calibre defenceman somewhere in that big body of his. I'm sure teams that bring his name up in potential discussions with the Maple Leafs know this all too well. I admit I'm softening my stance a little on Schenn as a player, but I think the organization has done a poor job properly defining what they expect out of Schenn.
June 13 2012, 08:47AM
I also think playing those 18 minutes a night with Tomas Kaberle really helped. He didn't get a quality replacement to play with when he left.
I wasn't so sure about Ron Wilson getting fired but I really hope the coaching change helps young Luke turn his career around after last season. I don't think it could have happened under Wilson.
June 13 2012, 09:02PM
I'm a lot less convinced there's a worthwhile player there. I mean, skating against nobodies in your 4th season and still getting outshot doesn't really point the arrows in the right direction, particularly since he's been outshot in aggregate over the course of his career so far. Meaning, Schenn STILL has to improve to be a good third pairing option at this point - which is bad news when there is no offensive upside.
I think most of last seasons issues for Luke can be tied to Wilsons mismanagement of the kid. He wanted his style of play no matter what and refused to adapt to the situation at hand. Nobody could foresee the disaster that was going to happen but it was pretty obvious to me that we were in serious trouble around Xmas when teams figured out they could just trap us to death. Ron never gave the guys any chance to counter that and stubbornly kept to that rush game instead of a little chip and chase. Forwards were stripped and up the ice and the puck was shoved down our throats with 3on2s and 4on2s the norm. This kid will be alright and I would hate to see him go. He could be another Scott Stevens if treated right.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Free Speech
Ativistas de direitos digitais em todo o Brasil seguraram o fôlego ontem, enquanto a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito sobre Cibercrimes (CPICIBER) debateria se enviaria seu relatório à Câmara dos Deputados para tramitar e ser debatido pelas comissões temáticas. No final, a votação foi adiada e remarcada para terça-feira, 3 de maio. Um adiamento não corrige os problemas nas propostas da Comissão — mas pode mostrar uma percepção crescente da atenção negativa que o relatório está angariando junto a internautas no Brasil.
Digital rights activists across Brazil held their breath yesterday, as the country's Parliamentary Commission on Cybercrime (CPICIBER) debated whether to send its report to the full lower house of Congress for committee assignment and debate. In the end, the vote was postponed, and rescheduled for Tuesday, May 3rd. A postponement does not fix the problems with the commission's proposals — but it may show a growing realization of the negative attention the report is gathering from Brazil's Internet users.
New EFF Report Maps Legal Threats to Free Expression in the Arab World
Freedom of expression is a universal right, but the specific threats to it vary widely from country to country and region to region. As activists fighting for free speech worldwide, it is essential that we better understand the specific legal and procedural mechanisms that governments use to silence it. When you begin to untangle the array of laws that are used to prosecute speech in a given country, you get a much clearer picture of the state of digital rights in that country.
The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is about to vote on seven bills that were introduced as part of a report by the Brazilian Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on Cybercrimes (CPICIBER). Collectively, these bills would be disastrous for privacy and freedom of expression in Brazil. That's why EFF is joining a coalition of Brazilian civil society groups in opposing the bills. As the vote takes place on April 27, it's crucial that we voice our concerns to CPICIBER members now.
Last month, EFF moved to intervene in a patent case in order to unseal records we believe have been improperly kept from the public. Yesterday, the court granted EFF's motion to intervene, and in doing so, rejected a troubling argument being put forth by the patent owner.
The case is Blue Spike v. Audible Magic. As we noted in our blog post last month, numerous documents, including at least three court opinions, have been completely withheld from the public. The sealed documents are highly substantive, and from what we can gather, would help the public better understand what, exactly, Blue Spike claims to have invented.

C'mon, I am sick and tired of the obfiscation, the excuses, the intentional diversion, and the lies of those who defend our gun craziness in America. We own more guns per capita than any western society. We kill more people with guns per capita than any industrial society. We have more mass shootings than any nation. There is no argument, the American nation and the American society are sick. And war and guns are a big part of it. We have a male population that exhibits a lack of real manhood and tries to camouflage it with the pseudo-toughness of war and guns. It is a sickness.
As the parents of the little children shot and killed in an elementary school in Connecticut gathered to express themselves about the future of the school building, the impact that event has had on their lives, the lingering depression, etc., one mother said she misses her little boy so much that she still reaches down to take his hand when she is walking. That burns its way into your heart and soul. Meanwhile some gun advocates are screaming about the Second Amendment. They want their right to a 21st century assault rifle, with a clip for as many bullets as the want. Well, Mr. Gun Advocate: boo-hoo. Your little shoot-em-up days should have been put to rest when you were about 8 years old. The gun does not make you a man!
Yes, we need revisions in our laws regarding people with mental illness. Yes, that should happen. Read this very carefully, please: it was the right-wing, gun advocates who fought against any government money being spent on anything INCLUDING mental health. Some states were badgered by these right-wingers to cut as much as 50% of the budget for mental health services. Whether you advocate for assault rifles or advocate to cut budgets for mental health, you cannot dodge the responsibility you carry for these gun massacres.
I also carry my share of the responsibility. I have been silent or timid in the face of this gun onslaught. We have been setting the stage for ongoing gun tragedies, and I have been less than outspoken about it. But how many people have to be killed in a movie theatre? How many people of a minority religion have to be shot before we act? How many six and seven year old children have to be killed with a gun before we wake up? Guns give a false sense of manhood. Guns and war reflect our violent society. Guns and war are money-makers for big industry. Guns, guns, guns. Our sickness grows, and the symptoms become more obvious with each mass shooting.

Lovely little shoes
"I have a big foot, and these still look dainty and pretty. They are comfy overall, but after wearing them all day, my toe had a red spot where the material had been rubbing. The shoes will probably soften a bit over time - if not, I have little pads from DSW I will attach to the stiff spot. Will order other colors if these end up softening a bit."

NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Right now they have ONE reliable DE. DE is their biggest need in the draft.
Linval is a FA next year (Spotrac agrees), having signed a 4 year rookie deal. For comparison, JPP signed a 5 year deal, but they have that deal going to 2016.
It's no big deal though. Actually, it's a huge deal lol.

Transferring from a Post-Secondary Institution - Transfer Credit Policies/Procedures
The university is committed to granting appropriate transfer credit to the maximum extent possible. Factors which affect transfer credit include: the type of institution attended, the applicability of the courses to the program the applicant wishes to enter, the grades achieved, and the minimum Laurier course requirements as outlined in the University Regulations chapter in the section, Residence Requirements for a Degree. In particular, for those applicants who have attended a fully accredited university or junior college, wherever possible, a credit-for-credit transfer will be allowed.
The university recognizes that, while learning experiences may differ in a variety of ways, their substance may be virtually equivalent in terms of their content and rigour. If a specific equivalency to a course is not available at Wilfrid Laurier University, we will attempt to award an "unspecified" elective credit.
Transfer credit assessments will be completed by the appropriate admissions officer following established procedures and in consultation with the appropriate faculty as required. Transfer credit is assessed at the time of admission provided the admissions office has received official final transcripts and official course descriptions (if required). The final decision on transfer credit rests with the undergraduate admissions office.
To appeal transfer credit assessment, it is the student's responsibility to provide course outlines to the appropriate admissions officer. Upon receipt of these outlines, transfer credit will be reviewed first by the admissions officer, then by the dean, director or chair of the program, and if deemed necessary, by the appropriate admissions committee. Any questions regarding transfer credit assessments must be provided in writing to the appropriate admissions officer within 12 months from the date of admission, or in the event of a program change. Subsequent changes to policies and regulations will not affect previously awarded transfer credit.
Transfer students will be selected for admission on a competitive basis. Normally, a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 5.00 (C) will be required: however, a higher average may be required for some programs.
If you have been required to withdraw from a university or post-secondary institution, refer to the section, Readmission of Students Required to Withdraw.
Transfer credit will be considered for students admitted from other accredited institutions for courses satisfactorily completed subject to the following conditions:

Shasta-Trinity National Forest Brings Christmas Cheer to Disadvantaged Youth
For some, it can be a bit challenging to get in the holiday spirit in Redding, Calif., because the area typically has warm winter temperatures. But this year, residents were treated to a Dec. 6 snowstorm, which offered the Shasta-Trinity National Forest a wintery-white backdrop for its annual Operation Christmas Tree event.
Working in partnership with Shasta County Youth and Families Foster Care, OneSAFE Place (a women's refuge), and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center, the forest invited 62 local, disadvantaged youth on Dec. 7 to kick off their holiday season on the forest. Read more »

This dataset is maintained and distributed by the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), the criminal justice archive within ICPSR. NACJD is primarily sponsored by three agencies within the U.S. Department of Justice: the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Program, 2001 (ICPSR 3817)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for Injury Prevention and Control; United States Consumer Product Safety Commission
Beginning in July 2000, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) expanded the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) to collect data on all types and causes of injuries treated in a representative sample of United States hospitals with emergency departments (EDs). This system is called the NEISS All Injury Program (NEISS AIP). The NEISS AIP is designed to provide national incidence estimates of all types and external causes of nonfatal injuries and poisonings treated in United States hospital EDs. The scope of reporting goes beyond routine reporting of injuries associated with consumer-related products in CPSC's jurisdiction to include all injuries and poisonings. The data can be used to (1) measure the magnitude and distribution of nonfatal injuries in the United States, (2) monitor unintentional and violence-related nonfatal injuries over time, (3) identify emerging injury problems, (4) identify specific cases for follow-up investigations of particular injury-related problems, and (5) set national priorities. A fundamental principle of this expansion effort is that preliminary surveillance data are made available in a timely manner to a number of different federal agencies with unique and overlapping public health responsibilities and concerns. Also, the final edited data are released annually as a public use data file for use by other public health professionals and researchers. This public use data file provides NEISS AIP data on nonfatal injuries collected from January through December 2001. Variables in the dataset include body part affected by injury, diagnosis, case disposition, fire involvement, immediate cause of injury, injury as determined by the CDC, intent of injury, intent with sexual/other assault, locals where injured, precipitating cause of injury, perpetrator to victim relationship in assault, reason for assault, whether injury was sports-related or traffic-related, whether it was a violent injury, and date of injury. Demographic information specifies race, sex, and age of patient.
Series: National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) Series

4) miles austin - same as rice
5) Denario alexander - had a great year for SD then got injured last year. could be a decent grab.

Rather than, you know, spay the pets he keeps at his mom's place, he's decided to sell the eight pups his dog had for $1,000-a-pop. Though Brown's mom Joyce is marketing them as "Chris Brown puppies" on Twitter, his rep, Maureen O'Connor, wants y'all to know it's not a new side business. This despite the fact there's actually a website devoted to the sale of said Chris Brown pups, where you can actually view them — be warned, they're pretty adorable. Interesting facts time! Because I'm not familiar with the breed, and they're so goddamn cute, I wanted to see if their aggressive reputation is deserved and stumbled upon this Wikipedia nugget: "The fighting reputation of pit bull-type dogs led the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1996 to relabel pit bull terriers as 'St. Francis Terriers' so that they might be more readily adopted; 60 temperament-screened dogs were adopted until the program was halted after several of the newly adopted dogs killed cats." Chris Brown: kitty killer. [Washington Post, Ministry Of Gossip] Last night we heard that Rosie O'Donell thinks Lindsay Lohan is a terrible pick to play Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie Liz And Dick on account of her inability to stop partying, and now the film's producer has added to the pile-on and admits he thinks casting her is a gamble. "Lindsay Lohan may be the most insured actress that ever walked on a soundstage, for this movie," said Larry Thompson. "We've tried to anticipate a lot of things. We hope none of them happen." Adding that Lohan's contract has "three pages of what-ifs," they even inexplicably moved the location from Canada to Los Angeles to prevent some partying-related risk. Because, you know, LA is such a sleepy ol' town. "We thought we'd maybe minimize some risk by shooting here in LA," he said. "We have the illusion that maybe we can control the situation a bit better ... Now if I learn to regret it, sitting here today I think it is still — for the movie — a great risk to run." Nice save (not really)! [Vulture] It seems like only yesterday that he was fighting with his sister on one of the first reality shows set to doom TV dramas forever, but now Jack Osbourne is all grown up – as evidenced by the kid his fiancée Lisa Stelly just had. Though I've always found it weird to talk about a baby's weight, she came in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces and they called her Pearl. "Today I witnessed my first grandchild being born, life changing experience," tweeted Sharon Osbourne. "She is an angel." [Page Six] Aspiring MILF connoisseur Zac Efron laid it on pretty thick when describing how hot it was to film sex scenes with his Paperboy co-star, Nicole Kidman. "It was everything you dreamed of," he said. "She was such a lovely person. I pinched myself every day, especially after doing love scenes with Nicole Kidman. Nicole is so gorgeous!" [Us] The former porn actor boyfriends of designers always bring it in the drama department, and Calvin Klein's plaything Nick Gruber is certainly holding up his end of the bargain. Bringing some guy called Calvin Swint back to his Greenwich Street penthouse, they got into a fight at 4:20am – a time when only magic happens – with cops being called when Gruber punched Swint. When police arrived they found some coke on Gruber, who also cleverly resisted arrest. He's currently broiling in a prison cell. See what I mean re: bringing it? [Page Six]After making a name for himself on Glee, Chris Colfer is delighting the cast of Struck By Lightning with some informal singing lessons. [Page Six]Some homeless guy hit the comparative jackpot when he ran into Oprah and some OWN execs, asking for a feed he received a shitload of food, a wad of cash and a blessing from the deposed talk show queen. [Page Six]Movie make-up teams are rolling their eyes at news Scarlett Johansson got an I [heart] New York tattoo in her wrist. [Page Six]Katy Perry and her new boyfriend Robert Ackroyd are continuing to fuck their way across the USA, popping up at the Chateau Marmont for some air last night. [Page Six]Appearing before a parliamentary committee in London to discuss his own experience of addiction, Russell Brand says he thinks that drugs should be legalized. "I'm not a legal expert. I'm saying that, to a drug addict, the legal aspect is irrelevant. If you need to get drugs, you will," he said. "The criminal and legal status, I think, sends the wrong message. Being arrested isn't a lesson, it's just an administrative blip." [NYDN]While the horror of childbirth brings about the very real possibility that your vagina will require stitches, Jessica Simpson believes that fashion is key and is shopping around for a leopard print caftan. [NYDN]Poor Jennifer Hudson had to keep her shit together in court as they recounted the murders of her mother, brother and nephew.

well at least with natsu saving luccy it keeps my fan boy hopes alive that we might see gray vs azuma LOL
Good Summary Trilight pretty much what I got from this chapter as well. I was right about Kain being comedy relief last week too, although wasn't to hard to spot since most things involving Lucy is for comedy relief.
Ultear at the last panel had a killer look. I still think Ultear can beat Natsu and Lucy by herself.
True, If anybody is going to save Lucy it should be her Dragonslaying Knight in fire-breathing armor complete with talking cat.
If the person who Mira was talking about at the end of her battle with Azuma was Gray I'd actually be impressed. It'd also give some major cred for him in defeating an opponent who is currently undefeated as well. Which is exactly why I don't expect it to happen.
I'm sure Mashima has some plans for Gray its just taking a while is all. The Ultear connection will hit him like a pile of bricks eventually, and that I'm very hyped for.
Fenix I'm with you about Ultear. Strongest of the 7 Kin isn't going down easy that's for sure.
I've always envisioned Ultear as Gray's final fight towards the series end so yeah I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, just for the initial seeds to be planted before the arc ends.
Well lets see who's left for fights. The Kin who beat Elfman and Evergreen, Azuma so if Gray is getting a fight it's either one of those 2 Azuma seems like the likely one since he uses explosions close to fire. Gray being Natsu's rival and all. Also Natsu has taking out Zancrow and kick Kain just now, so Gray defeating Azuma will keep his spot of being just as strong as Natsu or little under him. Thus not killing the rivalry of power with a large gap.
Awesome surprise chapter this week. This Kain guy definitely seems like the weakest of the 7 kin, attacking a sleeping girl, how pathetic. He deserved it when Natsu kicked the crap outta him, huge lol moment right there.
Happy ribbing on lucy as always
If those eyes don't say i won't to do dirty things with you
Natsu X Lucy Forever
Kains image on the last panel was priceless

It only gives me the option of using upper case letters. action-replay asked Jun 14, 2012 by Cyndaquilfan10 I'm pretty sure you don't need lower case letters. They were just to lazy to turn cap lock on. So don't worry about it, just type normally if you need to use an Action Replay; though it is looked down upon. commented Jun 14, 2012 by Rio ^yeh it doesn't matter i use AR commented Jun 14, 2012 by Gʟɪɢᴜʀʀ Thanks! I just wanted to make sure because I don't want my game to be destroyed! But in most codes there are lower case and upper case letters. I'm guessing this is fine too, right? commented Jun 14, 2012 by Cyndaquilfan10 Yes it is. commented Jun 14, 2012 by Shining Yin Great! Thank you for your help! :D commented Jun 14, 2012 by Cyndaquilfan10 No problem :D commented Jun 14, 2012 by Shining Yin Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 1 vote Okay, if you see a code in Lower Case letters, its the same thing as Upper Case. Its just that the people didn't bother typing the code in with all Caps instead of lowercase. (To answer you're comment above), the difference in Caps and lowercase is nothing. Use the Letters and Numbers normally. Don't worry about it and type in the codes normally. Though, Action Replay is not recommended and I suggest you don't use it cause it will mess up and "destroy" your game. Hope this helps! ;D answered Jun 14, 2012 by Rio I've never seen my game mess up. The AR itself usually breaks after about 6 months of use for me. However, it freezes a bit more often for me.... ._. commented Jun 14, 2012 by [MEGA]StellarLucario Yes this helps a lot! Thank you! commented Jun 14, 2012 by Cyndaquilfan10 there is nothing wrong with AR, but people just say that... i have had mine for 3 years commented Jun 14, 2012 by Gʟɪɢᴜʀʀ Please log in or register to add a comment.

Good news for symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) patients - ThromboGenics to launch intravitreal proteolytic enzyme injection, Jetrea (ocriplasmin)
Singapore: ThromboGenics, an integrated Belgium biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic medicines, will launch Jetrea (ocriplasmin) intra-vitreal injection on January 14th, 2013.
Jetrea (ocriplasmin) intra-vitreal injection is a proteolytic enzyme indicated for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). The US price for a single-use glass vial of Jetrea is set at $3,950.
Jetrea represents a paradigm shift and offers a pharmacological treatment option to patients suffering with symptomatic VMA. The US FDA approved the drug in October 2012 as the first pharmacological agent for the treatment of symptomatic VMA.
Symptomatic VMA is a progressive, sight-threatening condition that, which when left untreated, frequently leads to retinal distortion, further deterioration in vision, and irreversible damage to eyesight. The recommended dose of Jetrea is 0.125 mg (0.1 mL) of the diluted solution administered by intra-vitreal injection to the affected eye once as a single injection.

Comments: This is a great string if you're looking for a crisp feel that is capable of huge amounts of spin. It's a
1.17mm synthetic gut, so no, it isn't going to last very long. If you have your own stringer, or access to one, and don't mind
having a fresh set each time you go out, then give this a try. It has been one of my favorites for over 15 years. A very enjoyable
string to hit with. Strung in a Wilson Pro Staff 85 at 52 pounds.
From: Todd, 2/13
Comments: I played this string because I like to test out strings. I started playing with it and loved it. It worked
really well but there are two problems: the first- durability I have never broken a string until after ten hours on a mis-hit ripped
forehand. Also you have to straighten this string a lot even with a string thing it got annoying.

Comments: How do you make a Synthetic Gut stiffer and harsher than Luxilon ALU Power? I don't know but Prince
succeeded in doing so with this string. Maybe I had it strung slightly too tight but this has to be the harshest feeling Synth gut I
played with and felt it in my elbow. Prince Syn Gut used to be good but I think they recently increased the Kevlar in there.
From: Nori, Queens, NY USA 02/10
Comments: Agree with almost all comments. Found a little too much power stringing 2+ over what I usually do for
synthetics. Might try 64. Overall it was good, but the power was the issue. Also, it frays really quickly, I hit with it and another
set up for about an hour total and the prince looked on its way out after 20 minutes, probably would have popped in an hour of
straight usage. But worth a shot.
From: J, MA 07/09
Comments: What's up with the price going up? Is it the economy or something? It's still an amazing price, but the
16 and 17 gauge strings are cheaper.
From: Will, NJ. 1/09
Comments: Hey guys! I have tried every string on the market. I have compared price vs. performance and vice
versa. As we all know, thinner strings play better, but it breaks too often. I strongly recommend playing with a hybrid: Ashaway
18 gauge for main & Prince Synthetic Gut 18 gauge cross. Do not substitute 18 gauge Prince strings for 17 or 16 Prince. It will not
play the same. I have found this combination to play superbly with longevity. Furthermore, it is very soft. I recommend tension at
64 and above. I recommend it is performance vs. cost you are looking for. You will not go wrong.
From: John, Columbia, MD. 11/07
Comments:The best bang for your buck, this pack of string packs a lot of action. I highly recommend it, it feels
best right before the bust.
From: Jake, Portland, Oregon, USA, 10/06
Comments:I was on a mission to find the best 18 gauge strings on the market. This is a great string for power and
comfort but it broke in about a week of playing. Bad durability. Instead look at alpha gut 2000 instead or NRG2. Find a different
From: Grant, Littleton, CO, USA, 07/06
Comments: I love this string I use it on my mains. . . though I really wish it would come in more
colors . . . 18 gauge just feels better in a racquet with a small and tight string pattern and small head size ... I�m
an open player and I restring about every two weeks but it's the nature of the game and I don't mind it. This is
really good string . . . I love it but would love it way more if it where prettier my game is tough enough.
From: Sammy, CA 5/06
Comments: This string plays VERY differently compared to the 17g. It's very stiff and harsh. It frays,
and gets
pretty ragged. I found (surprisingly) the 17g to be much softer and give much better feel.
From: Leo, Seattle, WA, USA. 9/05
Comments:I love the way this string plays. It bites the ball really well. I hit with
heavy topspin and this string just doesn't last. I get about four hours on these strings.
From: Jason, Denver, CO, USA. 01/05
Comments: I have a Wilson 6.3 and this string plays great. It is the best string I
have ever played with. But there is a good side and bad side. The bad side is it breaks easy.
But it is cheep.
From: David, Battle Creek, Michigan, USA. 6/04
Comments: This string plays well, but has the two trade-offs 1) durability and 2)
stiffness due to the Duraflex.
From: Tuan, Houston, TX, USA. 2/04
Comments: Finally I get the time to sit down and write about the products I use. I
work in my hometown at a retail sports store in the tennis department. I am an avid
tournament player (5.5NTRP) and have tried approximately 75 different types of string
including the VS Touch from Babolat, Gamma LiveWire, Babolat Tonic, Wilson NXT,
Tecnifibre Control, Ashaway, Luxilon (almost all of them), Gamma TNT 2, Head FiberGel,
and I even tried Gosen and Babolat Syntec Brio. With the experience and time I spend on the
courts everyday, which is about 4 hours, this string is by far my favorite of the all. The bite I
get from the string is amazing, and the touch is unparalleled to any other string on the
market. The durability isn't great, but if you think about it, 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, that's
almost 30 hours I get use out of it. I restring every week because the tension does go out
pretty fast. The tension goes out far faster than the string breaking.
From: Chris, Camarillo, CA, USA. 7/03
Comments: Excellent string! Great feel! I have used this string for the past few
years with a ProKennex 5G. I play 2-3 times a week, restring every 4-5 months, and have yet
to break a string. Based on other comments, I must be doing something wrong. I admit to
not putting a tremendous amount a spin, though with the 5G, I have a long swing and use a
fair amount of topspin.
From: Joel, Columbia, SC. USA 1/03
Comments: In my opinion, the 18 gauge of Prince Synthetic Gut Duraflex plays
much better then the 16 or 17. It gives a soft, yet crisp feel. It's not going to be as good as a
more expensive performance string, but for price it's got great "bang for the buck" factor. I've
never broken any type of string before (although I haven't used many different types of string).
I broke Prince Duraflex 18 after about 6 hours of play. Also, I think it loses tension a little
faster, and moves around a little more then the thicker Duraflex strings. I'll probably continue
to play with it for a while. I doubt I'll find something that plays much better while being in the
same price range, I just might prefer the overall feel of a different string more.
From: Dave, USA 7/02
Comments: This string plays awesome but it breaks a little too often for my
liking. This is still the best string I have ever used. I just wished it lasted longer.
From: Chris, Los Angeles, CA. USA 1/02
Comments: I've been using Prince Synthetic Gut 18 Duraflex for three years now.
I use Sampras' racquet (Wilson 6.0 ProStaff), at 55 lbs. I'm a 4.5 level serve and volley
player, and the feel is as close to natural gut as you can get. It does break pretty fast: using
string savers, I can get about 2-3 hours play per racquet. One excellent feature, is that it
wears like natural gut. So string savers are easy to use, and at least you know when it's
gonna break. And you can't beat the price.
From: Roy, Atlanta, GA. USA 9/00
Comments: I am a 5.0-5.5 junior player who decided to try a thin string for fun.
The syn gut 18 is an excellent string with great feel, but the string breaks easily. The string
won't even last me a set. In order to use this string in a tournament, be prepared to bring 6 to
8 racquets strung with this string
From: Eric, NY USA 04/99
Comments: This string plays great, but it breaks like crazy. I averaged a week
and a half playing everyday.
From: Thanh, Salem, OR, USA 03/99

The Early Diagnosis Campaign is a bold multi-year initiative by the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) to reduce the time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis of PH. PHA is mobilizing to change aspects of medical practice so that more patients may gain access to the twelve treatments and the many specialty care centers that have become available in the U.S. before the disease progresses to advanced stages.
The twelve pulmonary hypertension treatments available in the U.S. have all been developed since 1996. PH has as many or more treatments than all but two of the 7,000 identified rare diseases. Yet over the past 20 years there has been no reduction in the time from symptom onset to diagnosis. With missed or late diagnosis, patients lose the opportunity for effective treatment and for a better chance of survival.
It takes too long for pulmonary hypertension to be diagnosed. The median survival rate without treatment is approximately 2.8 years, making the need to obtain a rapid and accurate diagnosis urgent. Unfortunately, the mean duration from symptom onset to a confirmed diagnosis by right heart catheterization is also 2.8 years. We are reaching patients too late in the process. Almost three-fourths of patients have advanced PH by the time they are diagnosed. The goal is to discover the disease sooner in the early stages. This will allow the start of a treatment regimen that can slow the progression of PH and secure a better life for the patient. Learn more about why early diagnosis of PH is important
Doctors are taught to associate common symptoms with common ailments with this saying, "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras." Pulmonary hypertension is a medical zebra. Just as a zebra sounds like a horse, PH often looks like something more common. Sometimes common symptoms indicate asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, obesity or other common diseases. But sometimes it's PH. Our campaign urges doctors and patients to consider PH when they see these symptoms.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and many of us would look a hell of a lot smarter if we were able to go back in time and change some of our more dubious decisions. Remember that high school picture that you hoped would be quickly forgotten? Remember how you used to dress in those days? Did you think your favorite striped blue shirt would be gazed upon by millions of people on the internet years later when you became a massive celebrity? Looking back, probably not.
Yes, hindsight is often 20/20, particularly when it comes to hairstyles, tattoos and free agent signings.
If we could go back in time, many of us would do things a little differently. Considering what NHL players are signing for these days, you wonder if some teams also wish that they could go back in time and wait until August 1st to sign guys, rather that having made all their moves on July 1st. It's way easier to say today how money should have been spent than it was a mere 30 days ago. But then again, who am I to talk? I once said that the Oilers won the Pouliot/Jacques for Parise trade right after it happened. Could I have been more right?
When you look at how frugal teams have become in the past few weeks, you can't help but wonder why so many felt the need to overspend a few weeks ago.
Unrestricted free agents generally get overpaid
It's a fact. And it isn't just the Oilers who need to overpay to get a player to come here. Controversial columnist, Larry Brooks wrote on July 26th that the Oilers were being desperate in their need to overpay star players to join the team.
Here's a snippet of what he wrote:
Don't the Oilers get it? Their city is the last place in North America (other than presumably Ottawa and perhaps Atlanta) that Heatley wants to live, and their team is the last one in the NHL (insert a disclaimer or two) for which he wants to play. Enough already with the bribery and the convincing. The team and the city look more than desperate. They are beginning to appear pathetic with their continued pursuit of the player who for good reason has become hockey's most disdained individual. We know. The Oilers have to overpay in order to entice players of Heatley's on-ice pedigree to come to their city, and that's the reason why Nik Khabibulin was able to get an over-35 contract worth $15 million over four years on July 1.
What I find laughable here is Brooks' suggestion the Oilers have to overpay, because of the City. C'mon Larry - wake the f**k up. In the City that never sleeps all the Rangers seem to do is over pay guys to report to the team.
Scott Gomez gets $7.3 million a year for five years. Chris Drury got $7 million, Wade Redden is a $6.5 million cap hit on the books and injury-prone Marian Gaborik takes home a cool $7.5 million. Larry, do you really think these aren't overpayments too?
The fact is teams overpay for UFAs all the time, especially in the first few days of July, and normally throughout the summer. But not this year. This year it would seem the well has dried up.
Looking back now...
I wonder if the Habs are re-thinking offering Brian Gionta $5 million a year, when it looks like they could get Alex Tanguay for less than half of that now? Mike Comrie made $4 million last year, and while he struggled with only 10 goals, the three previous seasons he tallied 21, 20 and 30. He turns 29 in September and he'll probably sign for $1.5 million at the most.
Proven checkers like Mike Peca, Manny Malhotra and Blair Betts are still on the market, and if they get a deal it could be close to $750,000 or less. I spoke with Betts yesterday at a golf tourney and the phone hasn't been ringing at all lately. He is a proven veteran, who kills penalties and is good in the room, yet no interest. I know the Oilers have too many contracts but signing Betts to a one-year deal for $650,000 wouldn't hurt. Hell, some veterans might accept two-way deals at this point, just to get to camp. I bet Dominic Moore is regretting not signing the Leafs offer of close to $2 million back in June, because when he signs it will be for half of that.
I think many teams blew their wad in early July, and while they might have interest in a player, they simply have no money left to spend today. One positive should be that fans will see a lot of desperate players playing just to maintain, or get a new contract next year. That should make the dog days of the season a bit more competitive - or at least you would think it would.
Did the Oilers over pay for Khabibulin? You bet they did. But it is hilarious to suggest that it is only cities like Edmonton desperate to overpay players into bring them into the organization. New York City - the "supposed" best city in North America overpays players more often than most.
And they win all the time don't they?
Totally and for sure. How is your brother Dmitri since retirement?
Who is it in that picture??
July 31 2009, 11:46AM
Is that a young Jason Gregor?
@ Ogden Brother: No freaking way!!!
@ danjo1:
I'm afraid I alone know the answer to this question. And to solve it, you will need to decode a series of clues - each more sinister than the last.
This man is a big deal in multiple facets of his career in Hollywood.
July 31 2009, 11:48AM
I guess we can thank Heatly for preventing us from overpaying for somebody else. Thank you Dany! Now we can go and pick up the scraps for dirt cheap!!!
@ Wanye Gretz: Dang it Wanye!! I would almost be tempted to guess Robin Brownlee...
July 31 2009, 11:52AM
@ danjo1: i was JUST thinking that!
Yet with all this hindsight knowledge why is it that each year teams don't learn from their mistakes? Does Sather have no hindsight/memory?
July 31 2009, 11:53AM
Great point JG.
I remember back to the late 90's to the early years of 2000 when the NYR yearly salary was damn near double what Edmonton's was. But looking across the NHL every team except maybe Detroit has an over-pay or 2, it's not just us and the writers who think it is are just plain ignorant.
@ BOBO: leave that crap for eklunds page.
July 31 2009, 11:54AM
Could teams not buy out certain players on their teams and sign these remaining free agents to smaller contracts thus still being ahead in the cap?
Ie. Buy-out Nilsson at $2 million but sign Comrie at $1.5 or Buy-out Staois at $2.7 and sign a Christian Backman or Dennis Seidenberg at $1 mill. Maybe even a Penner at $4.25 for a Tanguay a Satan or Mike Grier?
In the end while the Oilers would have to pay some money spread out on the cap over the years, they'd still be ahead by getting quality or compareable players for much cheaper.
I threw these names out there without doing a lot of comparable player research. Before people say this person is better than so and so, keep in mind my point was the buy-outs... not the actual players themselves.
we should just take our time, and sign the right players....
I actually like how brian burke builds his teams...and if you look at the defense...they are one of the better ones in the league.....
July 31 2009, 11:55AM
If that was RB's pic from his school days, wouldn't it be etched by hand on a cave wall or something?
*runs and hides*
Oh, and regarding the article lol
I don't mind the money, I think the the term of the Khabibulin contract was a bit much. It would have been more reasonable for 4 years if the last year or two were about 1-2 million per year.
July 31 2009, 11:57AM
@ jeff: Basic supply and demand. The supply of quality players is small on July first and the demand is high. This drives the price up. When the demand for players drops, the price drops. It will happen forever, unless all the GM's get together and decide to no offer big bucks. But i doubt it.
@ Wanye Gretz: Next clue sir
@ Wanye Gretz:
Its Ryan Seacrest.
Larry Brooks thinks that every player wants to play in New York, much like a lot of Leaf fans think everyone wants to play in Toronto. Brooks doesn't seem to want to admit that the biggest reason players want to play in New York is because they overpay for EVERYBODY.
Brooks also thinks the Rangers overpayment mistakes are contracts other teams are eager to take on; let's not forget that early on in this Heatley saga he thought the Rangers were in the Dany sweepstakes with the far from groundbreaking offer of Michal Roszival and Nikolai Zherdev straight up. Wonder why the Sens didn't jump at that deal...

Sather still lives in an era where the Rangers are the Yankees of the NHL. It was looking like it had finally caught up to him, but then he somehow convinced Montreal to take that Gomez contract. It still boggles my mind.
Is the photo of Kevin Heffernan (the guy from Super Troopers and Beerfest)?
It's Pronger....
I think it is Seth Rogen
July 31 2009, 12:16PM
I think at the time we sure didn't think we were overpaying Khabibulin. Now it looks like we did but would we have been left without a decent goalie had we not jumped at the chance when we had it.
My guess for whose pic that is - Seth Rogen.
@ Brian P: Lots of guys want to play in New York, the problem is Sather just offers them whatever and they just take it.
I remember Redden saying no one came close to what Sather offered. Something like 2mil a year more, plus no one was giving a NTC. And yet Redden said that the Rangers were one of his top choices before the start of free agency.
The Oilers are better than this, and so is the city of Edmonton.
Don't forget Brooks also said that. Pretty sure it was more an attack on Heatley than our town.
I don't think habi is big over pay! Starting goalie for under 4 million is alright! Length might be a year or two more then desirable, but I'm sure in those 3rd and 4th years of his contract the idea is for someone else to be taking over, and habi starting less and less games per season!
I remember reading the pre season team scouting reports in the hockey news, and sportsnet last year! One had the Oilers winning the division, and the other had them finishing 2nd in the div and 6 in the conf. The same magazines had Boston finishing in 12th in the conf and worse! They had compelling reasons as to why Boston would stink, and most of the hockey world agreed! I'm not saying the our team isn't without some obvious/big wholes that need to be filled, but at the same time, under a good coaching system, I'm sure our team the way it stands would out perform last years installment of the Oilers, IMO.

Whats wrong with the Datsyuk contract other than the fact that its arguably the best contract in the NHL???

How much of an overpayment? 1 mil? 0.75? I think term could be considered the only overpayment. He was the best UFA goalie and we got him under 4 mil, ill take it
Word on the street right now is Oilers are getting ready to do something. This has come out of the Oilers office, and now Tencer has twittered it as well. Heard it twice this afternoon.
July 31 2009, 02:34PM
@ Tull:
Tencer just said it's probably confirmation that they are officially moving on from the Heatley thing.
Lofty wrote:

We have not proven this, it has been stated but I'll believe it when I see it. Otherwise we should sign Tanguay straight away and deal with salary with Nilsson or somebody else waived/minors.

It was. He also mentioned that New York had the same problem (with overpaying) a while ago too. In fact, I don't think there was any direct mention of the city itself being the reason for Heatley's not coming here.

@ Tull: Tencer just said it's probably confirmation that they are officially moving on from the Heatley thing.
I still find it difficult to believe they have to call a press conference just to say that.

Deer hunt will happen in 30 units
If you like to hunt deer in Utah, get ready -- some big changes await you in 2012: Utah's five large deer hunting regions have been split into 30 smaller areas called units. Instead of hunting in one of five large regions this fall, you'll be hunting in one of 30 smaller units. General archery deer hunters can no longer hunt statewide.
Just like the rifle and muzzleloader hunters, archery hunters must also hunt in one of the 30 smaller units.
Another piece of the '2012 general deer hunt puzzle' was put in place on Dec. 1 when the Utah Wildlife Board approved dates for the 2012 general deer hunts. The dates are as follows: Season: Archery Aug. 18 - Sept. 14; Muzzleloader Sept. 26 - Oct. 4; Rifle Oct. 20 - 28
Now that the season dates are in place, only one major piece of the puzzle remains -- the number of permits that will be available for the hunts.
DWR biologists will present their permit recommendations to the board in May 2012. By May, the biologists will have up-to-date information regarding the number of bucks per 100 does in Utah's deer herds. They'll also know the number of bucks hunters took during the 2011 hunts.
Board members will consider the biologists' recommendations before approving the final permit numbers.
The changes the board has approved for the 2012 hunts are the biggest changes Utah's hunters have seen in almost 20 years. You can learn more about the changes at a special Web page the DWR has created --http://go.usa.gov/Xtm.
DWR Big Game Coordinator Anis Aoude encourages you to visit the page. "The page is filled with information about the changes," Aoude says.
"The information will help you apply for a big game hunting permit. The application period isn't that far away."
Applications for Utah's 2012 big game hunts -- including the general deer hunts -- will be accepted at www.wildlife.utah.gov starting Feb. 1, 2012.
Another tool to help you apply is the 2012 Utah Big Game Application Guidebook. The guidebook should be available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks by Dec. 15.
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.

Kaskaskia College to Offer Free Seminar on New Job Search Site: College Central Network in Greenville

It puts in one place the tools needed for a successful job search."
One can also upload or create a resume in a variety of styles using the build a resume tool, or build a portfolio that show off one's skills.
Potential employers can then view these resumes and portfolios in searching for qualified candidates and alert the job seekers of the results.
