Dear Editor,
Please save our beloved children, and grandchildren etc.
I am writing the following letter to you in reference to pornography, filth in television in word and action, magazines, and the filth pouring in from other nations into the United States broadcasting system.
It should not take 56 months to collect broadcast indecency fines. It is ridiculous in how long it takes in terms of carrying out the (too meager) fines to the above offenders. Also ridiculous is the record of policing the airwaves, plodding investigations, insufficient fines and inconsistent follow-up.
I believe that this cannot happen continually, without people taking bribes that are in high places inside the government organization.
I would like to see a bill enacted that any government official convicted of malfeasance in office, would automatically lose all rights to their pension, and/or, any other government benefits, and receive a monstrous fine to be paid immediately.
And that he, or she, is taken out of office.
The inward vessel needs to be cleansed by judiciary means, and then shall the outer vessel be cleansed also.
It is irresponsible for good men and women to sit back and do nothing.

The October meeting of the Emery County School District Board of Education was held at Book Cliff Elementary School in Green River.
Members of the board approved the warrants as well as the minutes for the September 2009 board meeting and the financial reports for August 2009.
Supt. Kirk Sitterud recommended to the board that the following individuals be approved for the positions indicated, having begun their employment on the day indicated: Heather Stilson-drill team advisor, Emery High-Sept.1; Lacey Branson: assistant drill team advisor, Emery High-Sept. 1.; MinaJean Mickelsen-school lunch worker, 3.5 hours, Book Cliff Elementary, Sept. 15.
Supt. Sitterud presented vending contracts from Emery High, San Rafael Junior High and Canyon View Junior High for approval from the board. He explained that the new State board rule and District policy require board approval of these contracts annually. Green River High does not have contracts for vending.
Supt. Sitterud presented school improvement plans, reading plans and staff development plans from all schools in the district. He explained that a new law requires board approval of these plans each year. He has read all of the plans and also spoke with board member Marie Johnson, who requested that all schools have a budget associated with their HB312 reading plan, which will be completed over the next few days. He asked if other board members had questions or input. Pres. Laurel Johansen commented that she was impressed with the amount of detail in several of the plans.
Business Manager Jared Black explained that the County would like approval to rent buses from the district for several annual events. Because these events are recurring, he is recommending that the board consider approving them on an ongoing basis to avoid the future need for board approval of each bus rental request. There are five recurring events being requested for approval now, with more to come later. These five events are: bike festival (weekend of the week before Memorial Day each year), marathon (second weekend in September), fun run (weekend of the County Fair) County Fair and Rodeo (to bus residents from Green River), swimming pool (to bus residents from Green River up to once a month).
Principal Nolan Johnson thanked the board for coming to Green River for their meeting. He asked Melinda Durrant to update the board on the status of one of the teachers in Green River who has been having some health problems.
After this update, he mentioned that Melinda as well as John Hughes are working on their administrative endorsements and are completing internships under his guidance. He also has a student teacher working for him who is a prior graduate of Green River High School.
Principal Johnson expressed how much pride and appreciation he has for his staff, noting their excellence and professionalism. Pres. Johansen thanked Mr. Johnson for his work as principal of two schools in the district.
Supt. Sitterud reported that enrollment is up by more than 60 students from last year, which is great for the district. He updated the board on the process of getting background checks done as required by law. The district office has individuals trained to do these checks and all support staff are on a six year rotation. He reminded members of the board of the upcoming USBA Regional meeting which will be held in Price. He also discussed an upcoming "Regional Education Roundtable" which is a meeting designed to discuss education issues including No Child Left Behind.
Last, he provided the board with a copy of the report from the drug, alcohol and tobacco use survey conducted by USOE and the health department.
Black reported to the board that the financial audit was recently completed and it went well. An official report will be given to the board in the next meeting and the auditors will be present for that report. He also mentioned that the district received a lot of positive feedback on the recent wellness challenge. The district now has a wellness committee with representatives from most schools and these types of healthy living competitions will continue.

What are some things you have done to manage your 3yr old's hitting and pushing? Are all 3yr olds very physically unaware or just very into the strength and feeling of it? Does it go away? Does it get worse! All the mothers of 3yr old boys I know (including myself) have at least a little issue with it. What worked for you and your child?

3yr old hitting, pushing HELP!Tags: None
In our case we've handled this a bit differently as I'm pregnant and pushing my bump is really not good. My toddler had been use to climbing onto me and had to stop pretty quick (the day I got prego I got hyperemesis and touching my tummy made me sick)
We've had to be a bit more stern than we've normally been, trying to also show there is a difference between mum and dad at the moment. Not that pushing daddy is much better, but well for us right now it's better, make any sense?
We've used the strong, no pushing, no hitting voice when it's towards me, and we've tried to explain that it could hurt the baby, hurt mummy, and how he wouldn't want that. Most of the time he understands.
DS and DH rough house which makes it harder I think to say it's ok to push when your playing but not when your not playing.
We've always played spanked, it's coming back to bite us as DS doesn't get that when we're not playing a smack on the bottom isn't as funny. And of course he does it harder than we do it Something we won't play around as much with the new baby.
I think just the tone we use is enough for DS to know it's something he shouldn't be doing. I don't know of any punishment a 3 year old would understand.
Just what has worked for us.

MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
i have 2 boys, this was never an issue w/my oldest, now 5. so i can't say it's a boy thing. i have a couple friends whose daughters have gone through big hitting phases.
my second, though, started hitting at 6mos ! and we still have to tell him "hitting hurts" or "please show love w/your hands". he's now 2. giving him words to use has helped curb some of it. proactively intervening curbs the rest fortunately, though, he's mostly into hitting family members, so we don't have to deal w/peers too much yet.
i think the best thing after the fact is to focus on the one who was hit or pushed. make sure that person is okay, feels safe, and ask if they would like to say anything to the offender. i then turn to the one who was hit and ask if they would like to say anything and if i can do anything for them. if they don't want to say anything, that's fine, we move on. i do the same thing when someone gets hurt accidentally, too. that's when i really enlist the other to help "check on" the injured. IME, if they do it in these non-threatening situations where they don't feel guilty about anything, it's more likely to carry over when they are actually causing the injury.
something that seemed to help w/my oldest the other day when he hit his younger was say "oh, i see that you need some more love. i'll give you so much love that only loving actions can come out of you!" and then i kissed and hugged all over him until he was giggling. his anger seemed to be gone and he went on to play kindly.
RE - 3 yr old hitting
I too have a three year old that hits. He's 3 1/4years old and was the model child up until two days before his third birthday.
We have good chunks of days and bad chunks of days. My son will hit us when we tell him that we aren't going to do "insert what ever you can think of here". When he was a baby under the age of one year we taught him how to be gentle and showed him the sign gentle. Everytime he was gentle we would make a big deal about it.
Now things are different as he's 3+. We tried giving him time outs and that would result in me putting him back in his room or back in the same spot a million times (I'm prego so I can only physically do so much -and there's no way I can escort a three year old with an infant in hand come March). We also started taking away things (videos for example). Taking away things sometimes works but what seems to work the most is the following:
1. When he hits we tell him we use our words not our hands. If he continues hitting during that moment we go to step two.
2. We then walk away from (saying nothing more) and since he'll follow us we lock ourselves in the nearest room. We will talk to him through the door and ask him if he's ready to be gentle and use his words. He then will say yes and we'll come out and all is well. Occasionally he will test further by hitting us when we open the door so we close the door again and lock it for about three minutes. That's what works for us.
3. Since we've been doing one and two know all i have to do is walk away to the nearest room and close the door with out locking it and he gets the message and straitens out. He needs to know that it's not behaviour we can be around as it's hurting us. We also tell him that when he hits we feel sad (to try and teach him how his behaviour can effect how other people feel).
Best of luck and I hope some of this helps. I know of another mom who's boy would hit other kids all the time!!! for many months and has finally outgrown it. Keep it consistent and it will go away.

IME, when children hit, it signifies that something is wrong, either they're not feeling well physically, or there's an emotional need. if you just ignore the behavior, you're also ignoring the need. when your child hits, play investigator. try to figure out the reason why. children who are content and happy rarely hit "for no reason". they may perceive the ignoring or locking yourself away as love withdrawal. they may quit the hitting, but only b/c they're afraid of losing love from you, which may lead to developing insecurity and fear. Kohn addresses this in his book "Unconditional Parenting".

I agree with Dedra, I look at the hitting as a method to communicate. What the child is trying to communicate may not be obvious at first glance (I'm teething and I don't feel well, I'm hungry, I need to reconnect, I am overstimulated, etc). I have found that when my children hit, it is time for me to be right there by their side actively working with them. My son had the language skills at that age to talk about hitting. My daughter did not so it was pretty much 100% redirection with her. I took the hitting as a sign that mommy needed to be right there.
Hitting is also a part of typical child development. Not all children go through a hitting stage but many do.
Here's a quote from the Positive Discipline Principle that I always keep in mind when considering a response in a discipline situation
Controlling or manipulative discipline compromises the trust between parent and child, and harms the attachment bond
I agree with Melissa and Dedra. Children are always communicating with us; it's up to us to understand them. I don't think there is any such thing as 'bad behavior'--I think it's kids just doing all they know how to do.
When I was trying to hold my marriage together, my DD absorbed the tension and began hitting, biting and kicking. Breaks my heart to think of that time, but I'm thankful that I didn't punish her, but I saw it as a cry for help. I did 2 things.
First, I took her (and me and the other 2 kids) to a good, highly recommended childrens' play therapist. There we talked about anger, etc.
Second, I read some Adele Faber books ('siblings without rivalry', 'how to talk so kids will listen, and listen so kids will talk'). These are AP recommended books, btw. The best jewel I took from these books was describing and REFLECTIVE LISTENING. I would say to my daughter "Wow! It seems like you're really mad!" and let her talk from there. Fortunately, even at 4 years old she's very expressive. It helped a lot, for all of us.
I want to understand my kids and help them grow into responsible, able adults, not just squash 'bad behavior.'

Mother to O (4yrs) and E (1.5)
Shmi Skywalker- What you describe is called emotional coaching and has been working well for my son and I. I have even used it with my 13 mo old.
Everyone else-
I used this book that I have found very helpful-
Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles: Winning for a Lifetime
One helpful thing that immediately re-framed my thought from that book is the statement "your child is not out to get you." In heat of a power struggle its important to remember they are just kids with needs and wants, no matter how annoying they are! Even though it appears that they are trying to make you as unhappy as possible, they really just want to have a connection with you. They get balled up in their own emotions and need guidance to get out of it sometimes.
I have done the walk away, leave him in the room thing before....
That might of had a short term effect... he lost his anger out of fear.
But what of the long term effect on our relationship. How must he feel I consider him now, is my love the same, can he trust me? I apologized and we talked about it. I tried to reconnect with him and earn his trust back, and devise better ways to deal with the situation.
I think its important to apologize if we have made a mistake, and talk to our children. That will teach them to do the same when the time is right. Its also important to forgive yourself and move on.

Project Red Ribbon
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, impaired driving is a crime that is 100% preventable. That is why on November 13 volunteers for Mothers Against Drunk Driving from my riding of Prince Edward—Hastings launched their 2007 red ribbon campaign.
Last year this Conservative government introduced Bill C-32, which provided police with the tools to detect drug impaired driving. This bill, now part of Bill C-2, the tackling violent crime act, whose legislative committee I am proud to be a part of, authorizes police officers to conduct a series of tests to determine if a driver is impaired by a drug or a combination of alcohol and drugs.
There is general agreement in this House and in this country that drug impaired driving represents a serious criminal justice, health and traffic safety issue in Canada. Drug users are disproportionately involved in fatal accidents and impaired driving is still the number one criminal cause of death in Canada.
This Christmas season and throughout the year, I urge all Canadians to display a red ribbon in an effort to stop impaired driving.
Family Violence Prevention Month
Statements By Members
November 15th, 2007 / 2:10 p.m.
Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, November is Family Violence Prevention Month.
Family violence is about power and control, not just conflict or anger.
In 1998, the Statistics Canada report entitled, "Family Violence in Canada: A Statistical Profile" showed that women still outnumber men two to one as victims of spousal abuse. It also indicated that three times more women than men were killed by their spouse or partner.
Today I wish to acknowledge Crossroads for Women, a transition house in my riding, which has assisted more than 7,500 women and their children living with family violence over the past 26 years. Crossroads for Women also offers the second stage facility of eight safe and affordable units with services for women and their children who want to break the cycle of family violence and live in a violence-free environment.
Let us pause and reflect on concrete actions we can take in all of our communities to prevent and eliminate domestic violence affecting women and their children.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Denis Lebel Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, with the Conservatives in power, the Bloc is trying in every way possible to justify its presence in Ottawa. Today the leader of the Bloc and his current heir apparent are accusing the Conservative government of reducing Quebec's weight in this House.
Is it not ironic to see the Bloc worry about Quebec's representation within Canadian institutions? The hon. member for Joliette said, and I quote, "We are not here to reform Canadian institutions. We want out." While the hon. member for Saint-Jean said that the future is in the National Assembly, not in Ottawa.
Considering that party's raison d'être, the Bloc is simply being hypocritical and inconsistent.
The Bloc should tell the truth and acknowledge that if it were anything more than a think tank, Quebec's representation in the House of Commons would go from 75 members to none at all.
Contrary to the Bloc's objective, our government is protecting the number of seats Quebec has in the House of Commons, which will never be less than the current 75.

Mr. Speaker, I have been calling for a full review of the use of tasers since 2004, shortly after their implication in the deaths of two people who lived in my riding of Vancouver East.
We learned yesterday that after only 30 seconds on the scene at the Vancouver airport, the RCMP tasered Mr. Dziekanski at least twice, with charges of 50,000 volts. Moments later, he was dead.
In too many instances, tasers are being used on the homeless, people with mental health problems or drug use problems and essentially the most marginalized people in our communities.
There are no clear national standards for the use of tasers and little understanding of their impact. Two more men died in Quebec after being tasered earlier this year. We cannot wait for one more victim before action is taken.
Until strict standards are in place, until we can know that tasers are safe and until we can be sure that tasers are being used properly, they should not be in use. We call for a full and comprehensive review of the use of tasers.

Ken Boshcoff Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, as parliamentary committees attempted to resume their work yesterday, evidence of the Conservatives' 200 page obstruction manual surfaced in full force: stacking procedural committees with government members; reducing quorum to require only one opposition member; allowing political staff from parties to attend in camera meetings; and destroying transcripts after only one year instead of the traditional 30 year period.
These are just a few of the proposals put forward by the government in an attempt to delay and destroy the work of parliamentary committees.
I urge my parliamentary colleagues to remain vigilant to ensure that the essential work of committees can proceed. Colleagues, stand warned.
Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, since September something very distressing has been going on in the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Conservative members have been systematically stalling committee work since the introduction of a motion requiring that the questionable accounting practices of the Conservative Party during the last general election be examined by the committee, on camera, so that Quebeckers and Canadians can see for themselves that the Conservatives' grand promises of transparency and honesty were nothing but smoke and mirrors.
This has been going on meeting after meeting. All the Bloc Québécois is trying to do is understand why the Conservative Party is the only party in the House whose expense claims were investigated by Elections Canada.
If the Conservative members truly believe they have nothing to hide, they should stop stalling committee work so that we can get to the bottom of this rather troubling issue.

Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, I, as do many Canadians, ask the Prime Minister to provide the public the full details of the cash that former prime minister Brian Mulroney received from Karlheinz Schreiber in 1993-94.
The public is demanding answers.
What was the money paid for? Why was it paid in cash? Why was it paid in hotel rooms? Why did Mr. Mulroney not pay taxes on the money until it was disclosed to the public later on? What was the purpose of the meeting in Zurich? Why did the Prime Minister not do anything when his office was notified in March of this year?
Until these answers are provided, there is a dark cloud over the government and over all government agencies and departments.
For example, Revenue Canada will have difficulty auditing other Canadians. How can it charge other Canadians? How can it penalize other Canadians? Canadians will use this excuse: "Give me the same deal that was given to Mulroney".
I hope the Prime Minister, for the sake of the government and for the sake of this institution of Parliament, will ensure that Canadians are given these answers as soon as absolutely possible.
Liberal Party of Canada

Mike Lake Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB
Mr. Speaker, in recent years a growing number of Canadians have come to realize that the Liberal Party does not actually stand for anything, but who would have guessed that this fall it would turn "not standing" into its defining characteristic?
First the Liberals abstained from the Speech from the Throne. Next they abstained from the ways and means motion to reduce the GST to five per cent. Yesterday they extended their abstention strategy beyond just confidence votes to abstain on a Bloc opposition day motion.
Where I come from, there is a commonly shared principle that if one does not vote one cannot complain. I know the whole concept of principles is not really high on the Liberal Party's priority list and that the whole priorities thing does not come easily to the Liberal leader, but until the Liberals develop a list of priorities that they can stand up for one way or another, perhaps they should offer up their official opposition status to a party that actually knows what it believes.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister wants to limit the political fallout from the Mulroney-Schreiber affair, so he prevents Dr. Johnston from investigating the behaviour of the Conservative government over the last 22 months.
The terms of reference for Dr. Johnston include only specific financial dealings between Mr. Mulroney and Mr. Schreiber. They do not include any negligence, wilful blindness, interference, invasion or concealment by the Prime Minister, his office, his ministers or Conservative insiders.
Why did the Prime Minister exempt himself from this investigation?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we did no such thing. Mr. Johnston is free to propose any terms of reference that are in any way connected with the events in question.
Canadians understand that the events in question occurred between 10 and 20 years ago. These are rather pathetic attempts by the opposition to link them to this government.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is not Dr. Johnston's credibility that is at stake here; it is the Prime Minister's.
Dr. Johnston has been hired to look only at Mulroney-Schreiber financial dealings, nothing more. He cannot examine Privy Council officials or political staff about the paper trail into the Prime Minister 's Office. That would be beyond his mandate. He cannot find out who ordered the justice department to stop a fresh investigation, which the department began last year, because that would be beyond his mandate.
What is the government so afraid that he will find?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, as I have said, Professor Johnston can recommend any terms of reference that are in any way related to the affairs at hand.
I would not say the only person's credibility, but one of the people's credibility who is very much in question this week is the member for Wascana, who actually suggested that the government would break the law and release private tax records.
When we hear that kind of recommendation, we understand why the previous government had to pay out $2.1 million in taxpayer money.
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, the question was whether Mr. Mulroney complied with the law.
The Mulroney-Schreiber issue reignited in the media only days after the government came into power. There are damning letters in the Prime Minister's Office, but the paper trail is hidden.
Ministers deliberately refused to be briefed. A justice department review was started and then suddenly stopped. Some ministers consult Mr. Mulroney daily. He has numerous personal encounters with the Prime Minister. Was Mr. Schreiber ever discussed?
Will the Prime Minister change the mandate to include specifically whether the government was involved in a cover-up?
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, all the allegations made by the member for Wascana are completely baseless. They are complete fabrications.
All they are is designed to try to prove that other people are just as corrupt as the Liberal Party of Canada. I am afraid the Liberal Party of Canada has the trademark on corruption.
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Lucienne Robillard Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is clear that by not asking Mr. Johnston to investigate the actions of the current government, the Prime Minister is trying to do some damage control. His government's actions with respect to this issue have been questionable.
The Prime Minister admitted to having met with Brian Mulroney at Harrington Lake in the summer of 2006, as Mr. Schreiber indicated. However, we still do not know whether they talked about Mr. Schreiber. Mr. Johnston's terms of reference do not allow him to investigate that.
What is the Prime Minister trying to hide from Canadians?

Temporal range: Paleocene to present
|Boa constrictor, Boa constrictor
|Scientific classification
Gray, 1825[1]
Boidae (Common names: boas, boids,[2] boioids) is a family of nonvenomous snakes found in America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and some Pacific Islands. Relatively primitive snakes, adults are medium to large in size, with females usually larger than the males. Two subfamilies, comprising eight genera and 43 species, are currently recognized.[2]
Like the pythons, boas have elongated supratemporal bones. The quadrate bones are also elongated, but not as much, while both are capable of moving freely so when they swing sideways to their maximum extent, the distance between the hinges of the lower jaw is greatly increased.[3]
Both families share a number of primitive characteristics. Nearly all have a relatively rigid lower jaw with a coronoid element, as well as a vestigial pelvic girdle with hind limbs that are partially visible as a pair of spurs, one on either side of the vent. In males, these anal spurs are larger and more conspicuous than in females. A long row of palatal teeth is present, and most species have a functional left lung that can be up to 75% as large as the right lung.[3][4]
Boids are, however, distinguished from the pythons in that none has postfrontal bones or premaxillary teeth, and that they give birth to live young. When labial pits are present, these are located between the scales as opposed to on them. Also, their geographical distributions are almost entirely mutually exclusive. In the few areas where they do coexist, the tendency is for them to occupy different habitats.[3]
Formerly, boas were said to be found in the New World and pythons in the Old World, but with boid species present in Madagascar, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands, this is not quite accurate; instead, it seems they have survived in evolutionarily isolated areas. South America was isolated until a few million years ago, with a fauna that included marsupials and other distinctive mammals. With the formation of the Panamanian land bridge to North America about three million years ago, boids have migrated north as colubrids (and various Nearctic mammals) have migrated south, as part of the Great American Interchange.
Common names[edit]
The Old Tupi name for such snakes was mbói, which figures in the etymology of names such as jibóia and boitatá (the Brazilian name for the mythical giant anaconda).
Geographic range[edit]
They are found in Northern, Central and South America, the Caribbean, southeastern Europe and Asia Minor, Northern, Central and East Africa, Madagascar and Reunion Island, the Arabian Peninsula, Central and southwestern Asia, India and Sri Lanka, the Moluccas, and New Guinea through to Melanesia and Samoa.[1]
Prey is killed by constriction; after an animal has been grasped to restrain it, a number of coils are hastily wrapped around it. Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure, the snake prevents its prey from inhaling, so that it eventually succumbs to asphyxiation. Recently, the pressures produced during constriction have been suggested as the cause of cardiac arrest by interfering with blood flow, but this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed.
Larger specimens usually eat animals about the size of a house cat, but larger food items are not unknown: the diet of the common anaconda, Eunectes murinus, is known to include subadult tapirs. Prey is swallowed whole, and may take several days or even weeks to fully digest. Despite their intimidating size and muscular power, they are generally not dangerous to humans.
Contrary to popular belief, even the larger species do not crush their prey to death; in fact, prey is not even noticeably deformed before it is swallowed. The speed with which the coils are applied is impressive and the force they exert may be significant, but death is caused by suffocation, with the victim not being able to move its ribs to breathe while it is being constricted.[5][6][7]
Most species are viviparous, with females giving birth to live young. This is in contrast to the pythons, which all lay eggs (oviparous).

Pythons were sometimes classified as a subfamily of Boidae, the Pythoninae, but are in this case listed under their own family, the Pythonidae. In the same way, the Old World sand boas, the Erycinae, are also frequently listed under their own family, the Erycidae. Additionally, morphological studies place the subfamily Ungaliophiinae in Tropidophiidae, whereas all molecular analyses place them as sister group of Charina-Lichanura clade, within Boidae.

What a summer!
Jason Gregor
September 11 2009 10:48AM
Just when you thought nothing was going on this summer, once again the Nation proved us all wrong:
- The Nation sends me to the NHL Entry Draft in Montreal, which was awesome. Although the best part was watching bingofuel and Lynda Steele flirt with one another during a segment on Global. She is one sassy lassy.
- The Colossal Fossil left town, only to be replaced by a tad younger fossil.
- Heatleygate pushed us through the dog days of summer.
- I watched in agony as Jason Strudwick put on possibly the worst hitting display ever by a professional athlete, when I crushed him in a hitting contest at Telus field (see the video above).
- Then Wayne breaks a story on the only day all summer that he didn't crush 18 beers. And the crack team of audio wizards at The TEAM 1260 put these gems together: Comrie's Back. Back Again.
- We unveil my favourite new segment on Just A Game, Brownlee's Irritants of the Week (You don't want to miss this every Thursday).
- Willis lands a new gig.
- Finally the Oilers are back on the ice this weekend.
Sure there was the Coyote saga, but that has been as annoying to follow as when you see your buddy continue to get back together with a flaky ex-girlfriend.
Ch-ch-ch-changes... for the Oilers, that is
Training camp will be much different this year. For the past few seasons the players scrimmaged on day one, two and three and then went into pre-season games. Pat Quinn and his coaching staff will be focusing on getting the players comfortable with the new system on the first few days of camp, so there will be more technical elements and less scrimmage time.
With the addition of Comrie, the Oilers have 19 forwards in camp who have played in the NHL. Hemsky, Horcoff, Penner, Gagner, Nilsson, Cogliano, Comrie, O'Sullivan, Moreau, Pisani, Pouliot, Stortini, Brule, Jacques, MacIntyre, Stone, Potulny, Schremp and Reddox. If you toss in Jordan Eberle, who looked great last night in the rookie game, that is 20 guys battling for 14 spots.
Potulny, Stone, and Schremp are out for sure, and I think Eberle is a long shot. I still think Pouliot is going to the odd guy out and probably Reddox, but we will see what transpires.
The big question is who will play where?
Will Pat Quinn have three scoring lines and a checking/energy line? After a conversation with some Oiler brass in Leduc last night, I don't think it's cut and dry that they'll go with two scoring lines, a checking one and an energy line. Quinn might look for three balanced lines and then an energy/checking line.
Would these line combinations work?
Comrie — Horcoff — Hemsky
Comrie has skill, and Hemsky might have more confidence dishing the puck to him than some of the other guys he has played with in the past. Horcoff can be the defensive conscience on this line.
Nilsson — Gagner — O'Sullivan
Not a big line, but there isn't much size to go around amongst the skilled players. Nilsson had his best stretch with Gagner, and O'Sullivan is the sleeper heading into camp. He won't be nearly as bad as he was since coming over from LA, and he sounds ready to make a statement with the Oilers this year.
Penner — Cogliano — Pisani
I know Cogliano sucks in the dot, but he should improve strictly because he's stronger this year. If he struggles again, Penner can take the draws.
Penner is more comfortable when he isn't on the supposed top-line, so he could flourish here.
**I saw him yesterday for the first time this year, and he looks in decent shape. Maybe around 240, which for him is a good weight**.
Pisani has a great shot, and he might be the smartest positional player on the team, so his defensive awareness could allow Cogliano to take a few risks with his speed, and try to get the jump on some loose pucks.
Moreau — Brule — Stortini
Moreau and Brule can get minutes by killing penalties. Stortini is great at creating havoc on the forecheck — maybe the best on the team — and all three can crash and bang. Of course these lines will vary due to injury and such, but Quinn will try lots of different combinations starting Tuesday in Calgary.
Extra forwards are Jacques and MacIntyre. (I'm not a Pouliot fan, and while it makes more sense to have one of the extra forwards be a guy who can play wing or centre, I'm still not keeping him.) MacIntyre will be needed for a few games against the super heavyweights, and Jacques will push players to be consistent.
I don't see any battles on the blueline or in goal.
Souray, Visnovsky, Grebeshkov, Gilbert, Smid, Staios and Strudwick will be the seven, while the younger fossil and JDD will tend the twine.
Quinn wants this team to push the pace and be aggressive on the forecheck, which means more skating and using more energy. He might want a better distribution of minutes amongst more forwards, rather than have his fourth line play eight minutes of less.
The only player I see with a chance shock some people and crack the lineup is Eberle, and if he does then I can't see anyway that Nilsson sticks around.
Questions that need answers
What makes this training camp and pre-season more entertaining than the past eight I've covered is that we really don't know where players will play and who they will play with.
- Horcoff is probably the best fit for a traditional third line centre, and if the Rangers paid Bobby Holik $9 million to be a checker, can't the Oilers pay Horcoff to do the same?
- Can Comrie return to his 30-goal form or are his best days behind him?
- Is Cogliano ready to become a top-six forward?
- Can Gagner get off to a good start for once?
- Will Hemsky become a point-a-game player?
- Will Wanye continue to break stories? Hell will he write more than one a month?
- Can Quinn use his old man strength and wisdom and convince Penner to show up most nights? (Ditto for Nilsson.)
- Has JF Jacques realized what he needs to do to become a regular NHLer?
- Which poster will Brownlee carve first?
- Will the Oilers have a 30-goal scorer?
- Will Stortini fight more than 25 times?
- Can Tom Renney get their special teams in the top half of the league?
- How many games will Bulin Wall play before he tweaks a groin?
- Will girls make out on the smooch cam and get banned for six months? I sure as hell hope they don't get banned.
- Will beers cost $8.50 this year? They sure as $&*#& better not!
- Will the Oilers suck the big ones on Tuesday home games again?
- Will scalpers get more for Ovechkin or Crosby games?
- Will the Oilers win more than 23 games at home?
- Who will be the Nation's whipping boy this year?
MacT coming to your house
Former Oiler bench boss Craig MacTavish will be coaching Canada's team in the Spengler Cup, but you'll see him much sooner than that.
He has agreed to be an analyst on TSN.
You might not have liked his coaching style, but MacT was great behind the mic. Hopefully he'll bring that same quick wit and dry sense of humour to the camera.
I'll take him over another goalie any day, and I suspect he'll be very good at that gig.
September 11 2009, 02:13PM
line combo's look good. What if Oil took a flyer on Mike Danton. Get him in playing shape, get his Visa in order and then we got someone who can skate and fight to back up Zack.
@ charlieangels: Why do we want him. He was a boderline NHLer before he went to jail.
Jacques is a way better option and he isn't a headcase.
Comrie-Horc-Hemmer Penner-Gags-POS Schremp-Cogs-Pies Moreau-Brule-Storts
Extra Big Mac and Jaques/Nilsson
Pouliot is done with this team and Nilsson based on last year shouldn't be on this team. I put Schremp on the third line because for some reason I think he's going to do well this training camp. Jaques is abysmal but he sounded motivated during the pre-preseason interviews.
September 11 2009, 02:31PM
@ Jon: I'm not saying it wouldn't work, but Quinn would have a lot of people riding him for icing the most expensive 4th-liner in Oilers history.
I find it funny how many people are writing of Pouilot in favour of Brule.
Brule has yet to prove anything and at this point I don't see why he gets the pass onto the 4th line.
Fact is Pouilot was one of the better faceoff men last year and his +1 isn't too shabby. He doesn't hurt us when he is on the ice either.
Now I really don't know who is the better player and I don't really favour either guy, but I think Pouilot deserves a little more credit then he gets.
How about these lines?
1 Comrie O'Sulli Hemsky 2 Cogs Gagner Nilsson 3 Penner Horcoff Pisani 4 Moreau Brule Stortini
Extra fowards Pouliot, Jacques
September 11 2009, 03:29PM

And what would be the reason for Hemsky to dish off more confidently to comrie after his third circle around the net ? These lines suck. The only player with upside is Cogs and he will be traded .Oilers in the basement by Haloween
Gregor: Like your line combos, but I'd switch up someone on line 2 with Penner, just to give that line a bit of size. Actually, I'd almost prefer something like this:
Comrie Horcoff Hemsky Penner Gagner Cogliano Nilsson O'Sullivan Pisani Moreau Brule Stortini
Been mentioning a Moreau Brule Stortini line for a bit, myself. I really would love to see that. I'd also really like to see Gagner and Cogliano reunited again and this time with Penner on the wing. He's got the one thing those two kids are lacking - size. And while he doesn't use it as often as we'd like, I think that all 3 of them would benefit from playing on the same line together.

Boston would love to keep him, but they won't be able to. And I've been away for 4 days, but I wonder if the Leafs are trying to push the Bruins into trading him (obviously to the Leafs, though).

@ Jason Gregor:
If Eberle looks too good for the WHL but not necessarily a lock to make the team do you think the Oilers would put a guy like Nilsson in the Minors or trade him and give Eberle a chance to feel his way into the NHL like they did with Gagner? Very limited ice time against weaker opposition, on the power play, 13th forward type stuff.
Or are the Oilers prepared to keep Eberle in the WHL even if his development level is in an intermediate state (ie AHL level but not NHL level, even though he cant actually play in the AHL)?
Does anyone else get the impression that any rule preventing an 18 yr old from playing in the AHL seems like it's an unfair business practice to the 18yr old legitimately seeking employment? I have never had a good explanation why some kid hasnt sued for the right to play in the AHL, besides the obvious not wanting to be blackballed by his prospective team.

Unless Brownlee or Gretz are confirming, it ain't happening.
MacT will be great on TSN.
Jaques starts the season with the Oilers.
Brownlees's irritant segment doesn't see Christmas.
Cell phone posers? When all is said and done or at the end of the day, IMO Robin came across as jaded and bitter. I thoroughly enjoy reading his work.

Will the last fit bowler left in Australia please turn out the lights? Less than two days after announcing their squad for the Ashes series in England, Australia face having to make an early replacement after Ryan Harris returned home from the Indian Premier League with an Achilles tendon injury.
Harris, 33, is a fast bowler who has taken 47 Test wickets at an average of only 23.63, but a string of hamstring and shoulder injuries have restricted him to only 12 Tests since his debut three years ago. He will be assessed by the Cricket Australia medical team over

In Weighing the flee ce Lambert made an image of the successful grazier. He also suggested the importance of wool to the Australian economy and reflected on the good fortune of the landowners of the 1920s. He located the figures artificially in their environment as if they were in a tableau of modern life, actors on a stage set. This pastoralist is not a poorly clad labourer, as is the man in Lambert's Across the black soil plains of 1899 (cat.9); he is a well-tailored manager standing on the edge of the scene, watching his employees at work and looking at his impressive fleece. His wife sits on a wool-bale passively beside him, a further symbol of his achievements.
The figures are Mr Leigh Sadleir Falkiner and his wife Beatrice, depicted in a brick-walled woolshed on the Falkiners' property Wanganella Estate, near Deniliquin in the Riverina district of New South Wales. They look at a fleece being weighed by Falkiner's nephew, John Robert Carse. The bookkeeper, holding a notebook in his hand, was Philip Darbyshire. The merino rams were both champions, and Falkiner's record-priced fleece is deliberately placed in the centre of the composition.
Lambert believed this to be 'a masterpiece of small portrait grouping', painted in eight days. He was proud of his attention to detail in his depiction of the interior of the shed, noting the way that he had painted the 'beams and the swallow droppings on the beams, corrugated iron, oil drum, kerosene tin, wool bale, brand on the wool bale'. On 26 August 1921 he described it as a 'picture I've had in my mind for 25 years' (ML MSS 97/10).
Contemporary Australian critics, such as that for the Argus on 15 September 1921, approved of this work because it was a typical image of Australian life and a national subject, whilst also admiring Lambert's 'almost pre-Raphaelite' attention to detail and his restraint in colour and tone.
This work was commissioned by Falkiner, but he did not purchase it, as he did not like the way Lambert had portrayed himself and his wife (NGA file 81/944). Lambert subsequently sold it to Sir Baldwin Spencer for £600.

By By NICK RHOTEN
Do you know anyone in your community who abuses drugs and/or alcohol? Is it a friend? Is it a relative? Is it you? Drug and alcohol abuse is once again on the rise not only for adults, but for teens as well. "After 10 years of a steady decline, teen drug use, specifically the use of marijuana, alcohol, and ecstasy, has increased since 2008, according to a survey by The Partnership at Drugfree.org and the Metlife Foundation" ("Koebler 2011."). For many of us who recognize drug and alcohol abuse, this is a part of everyday life. Whether it is a friend, relative, or even a neighbor, these conditions exist all around us and unfortunately for some it exists in the place we call home. What are the effects of drug and alcohol abuse? And who is it affecting? The truth is whether you recognize drug and alcohol abuse or not, it affects everyone in our community the same way unsafe work habits affect everyone in a company or business.
Unsafe work habits do not always result in an accident or an individual being hurt, injured, or killed, but the majority of incidents that hurt, injure, or kill people in the work place are a result of unsafe acts and work habits. Likewise, the abuse of drugs and alcohol does not always result in an accident that hurts, injures, or kills. But as the Encyclopedia of Education points out (2002) "the majority of injuries, accidents, vandalism, sexual assault and rape, fighting, and other crime are linked to alcohol and drug use" (Gilbert, Griffin, and Gilchrist.). More and more companies and businesses are trying to figure out how to implement safety and stop unsafe work behavior by assuming that the responsibility is theirs. I think it's time our community assumes that same responsibility about drug and alcohol abuse.
In a five minute safety talk by the Consultation Education and Training Division this was said,
"We do our jobs from day to day, and in the process, good work habits are formed. But so are unsafe habits, unless we make an effort to break them. Some habits good or bad, are formed early in the job, while others develop naturally as time goes on. A person might incorporate unsafe habits into the job and continue them for a long time before a mishap occurs. Other people might not be so fortunate. They could learn quickly how an unsafe act can catch up with them unexpectedly. Gambling with the law of averages is a bad bet." ("Unsafe Work Habits").
The same can be said about Drug and alcohol abuse. But how do we get those who abuse drugs and alcohol to make an effort to break these habits? I asked three drug counselors at Four Corners Health, two Emery County Police Officers, and a case worker from Family Services that same question and the decision was unanimous, "Nothing." Unless the individual is willing to get help, it's not illegal to abuse drugs. And abusers can't be forced into receiving help until they have been arrested and charged with a possession of illegal substance or DUI. To force someone to live a better life is most definitely a violation of our human rights and we do not want that to happen. And I totally agree with people choosing for themselves the way they want to live as long as it doesn't affect anyone else. This all makes sense. But the truth is that drug and alcohol abuse does affect the ones around us.
In an interview with Heidi Carlson, a case worker at Family Services, I asked her how drug and alcohol abuse affects the community and she said,"that almost half of all kids exposed to drug and alcohol abuse in the home end up abusing as well" (Personal Communication Dec. 07, 2011). And according to the 2011 prevention needs assessment survey of 129 10th graders at Emery High School, "38 percent of them said they have already used alcohol before and 16 percent of them had used within the past 30 days. And of that 38 percent of 10th grade students who have used alcohol, 38 percent of them said it was at someone else's house with their parents permission" (SHARP Emery School District Profile report). As far as law enforcement and the Criminal Justice system is concerned, for as many crimes that are being committed or drugs being abused that we are aware of, there is the same number of crimes being committed or drugs being abused that go undetected. Now that we have established that drug and alcohol abuse exist and is a part of our everyday life in our community, what steps can we take to try to eliminate it?
In the workplace, as safety has become top priority, the first step that is taken towards safety is identifying signs of unsafe behavior. What are the signs and symptoms for drug and alcohol abuse? They are grouped into three categories, physical, behavioral, and psychological.
The physical warning signs of drug abuse are: "Bloodshot eyes, pupils larger or smaller than usual. Changes in appetite or sleep patterns. Sudden weight loss or weight gain. Deterioration of physical appearance, personal grooming habits. Unusual smells on breath, body, or clothing. Tremors, slurred speech, or impaired coordination." (Robinson, Smith, Saisan). Next is the behavioral signs of drug abuse: "Drop in attendance and performance at work or school. Unexplained need for money or financial problems. May borrow or steal to get it. Engaging in secretive or suspicious behaviors. Sudden change in friends, favorite hangouts, and hobbies. Frequently getting into trouble (fights, accidents, illegal activities)." (Robinson, Smith, Saisan). Last is the psychological signs: "Unexplained change in personality or attitude. Sudden mood swings, irritability, or angry outbursts. Periods of unusual hyperactivity, agitation, or giddiness. Lack of motivation; appears lethargic or 'spaced out.' Appears fearful, anxious, or paranoid, with no reason." (Robinson, Smith, Saisan).
To help distinguish between the ups and downs of teenage years, here are some red flags that parents could look for to help them know if their teenager is using drugs: "Having bloodshot eyes or dilated pupils; using eye drops to try to mask these signs. Skipping class; declining grades; suddenly getting into trouble at school. Missing money, valuables, or prescriptions. Acting uncharacteristically isolated, withdrawn, angry, or depressed. Dropping one group of friends for another; being secretive about the new peer group. Loss of interest in old hobbies; lying about new interests and activities. Demanding more privacy; locking doors; avoiding eye contact; sneaking around." (Robinson, Smith, Saisan). Did reading these signs and symptoms bring anyone to mind? Is it somebody you are close to? Chances are images of someone you love and care about came to mind, but can you think of anyone in town that you might not be so close to? Now ask yourself, do you ever feel concerned enough to ask them about it? Have you ever asked them about it?
Addressing this kind of situation is awkward whether you know them well or not. Most often times we just look the other way. We see the same thing happen in the workplace with unsafe behavior. I want to introduce you to a program that is currently being used in my place of work; it is called the OTZ program. OTZ meaning One Target Zero. The way this program is set up is everyone in our place of work are given observation booklets, on these booklets is a list of categorized unsafe conditions, or behaviors, with two bubbles next to each one. One bubble is labeled "at risk"; the other one is "safe", on the back of each sheet in this booklet, there is a place to write down our conversations. We take these booklets wherever we go, and set goals in weekly safety meeting to do a set amount of observations each week. This is how an observation works: as you are in the job field and you see other workers performing a task, you walk up to them and say "Can I observe you for a minute?" At this point, the workers know they are being watched and begin working as safe as possible. After observing for a minute or two, you call them to a stop and have a conversation about the task they were performing; you talk about the positives, and address any negatives there might have been. If there are any unsafe acts you ask the question, "Why?" You document the reason, and you leave the men to do their work. With no names, and no one to blame, these observations are turned in, and data is received.
In the beginning the goal of an observation was to get people to perform whatever task you were observing safely and if you could do a lot of observations it would force people to practice doing their jobs safely, and break unsafe work habits. What we found to be more effective than anything is the conversation. By eliminating the confrontation that usually follows when you ask someone why they are not wearing their safety glasses, because they know they are not going to be in trouble for it, helps open up the truth about unsafe work behaviors, and helps those who are guilty of it fix it without feeling pushed, or forced.
For over five hundred days this company has become accident free, and proven the effectiveness of the OTZ program. I want to challenge our community to start having conversations with those who display signs and symptoms of drug abuse, to start asking them why. Not to get them in trouble, but to start understanding their situation because we care. If we ask this question enough times maybe they will try to find the answer as well. That way you won't ever have to say "I could have saved a life today, but instead I chose to look the other way." (Unknown).

Manage Award
Gifts vs. Sponsored Projects
A sponsored project is a project that receives external support (including research, scholarly work, training, workshops, and services) and includes defined performance requirements. Awards from government agencies are always considered sponsored projects, not gifts.
A gift is the voluntary provision of external support by a donor to the University, without any requirement for receipt of any economic or other tangible benefit in return.
Types of Awards and Requirements
Budget Setup and Management
- Advance Budget Requests (GIM 9) The Principal Investigator of a contract, grant or other agreement may request authorization to spend a limited amount of money during a specified period on an Advance Notice prior to the receipt of an executed award from the funding agency. This need may arise when an award has not been received in the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) by the effective date of the award, negotiation or processing of the award is not complete.
- Budget Extension Request (OSP) Budget Extensions allow a Principal Investigator (PI) additional time to complete the scope of work of her/his project.
- New Budget Setup Once the sponsor notifies OSP of the award, OSP prepares and issues an eFA and sends award information electronically to GCA. More details provided.
- Outgoing Subawards An outgoing subcontract is a formal, cooperative "sponsored programs" relationship with another organization, generally a university or non-profit research center, that is part of a proposal and, if awarded, prime agreement, accepted by the University of Washington.
- Program Income Procedures The University of Washington is accountable for certain kinds of income generated by the activities of a grant or contract. Program Income Procedures provides guidance to those faculty investigators who elect to use this program income for costs that are in addition to the allowable costs of their project.
- Rebudgeting of Funds After a grant or contract has been awarded, the Principal Investigator sometimes finds that the approved budget is not consistent with actual project needs. Most funding agencies allow reasonable flexibility to implement desired budget revisions without prior approval, but often the change does require the approval either by the grantee under delegated authority or by the funding agency.
Cost Sharing
Some federal contracts and flow-through federal contracts require PIs to use E-Verify system to establish employment eligibility of designated employees. This applies to contracts which contain a clause specifying the E-Verify requirement. It does not apply to grants.
Departments and the PI will be notified by OSP during the award set up process when a federal contract contains the E-Verify clause. See the Payroll website for details on the process including a flow chart.
Faculty Effort
Access to UW Systems
Requesting Sponsor Prior Approval for Post Award Grant Actions
Federal sponsors routinely require grantees to obtain the sponsor's approval before making certain changes in the post-award phase of a project. Examples of such changes include, but are not limited to, a change in scope or a change of PI. Federal administrative requirements allow federal agencies to waive certain cost-related and administrative prior approval requirements, allowing a PI to make a variety of changes without obtaining sponsor's approval; this is known as Expanded Authorities. The following resources can help you understand when approval may or may not be required, and the awarding agency may have additional guidance posted on their website. Please review the terms and conditions of your award, and check with your OSP Team if you are unsure about the requirements related to your award.
Note: For guidance related to federal contracts or non-federal awards please contact your OSP Team.
