Oft Embattled Head Coach Extended
Thomas Drance
May 23 2012 01:01PM
The Lozenge Laughs Last
Alain Vigneault's offseason has been interesting thus far, to say the least. Criticized for months by a vocal segment of the Vancouver sports media, many expected Alain Vigneault to lose his job following the Canucks first round flame out at the hands of the Western Conference Championship Kings in April. The speculation reached a fever pitch when Vigneault didn't appear at Mike Gillis' season ending press conference (as he customarily does), and then left town without facing the music from the press.
While Vigneault spent the past month playing poker in an undisclosed location with Dick Cheney, however, it became increasingly apparent that General Manager Mike Gillis - who inherited Alain Vigneault when he was given the keys to the club in the Spring of 2008 - was committed to sticking with his innovative, spread-sheet loving head-coach.
Today, after a long delay and much speculation, the Canucks have made it official: Alain Vigneault has been given a contract extension and will be back behind the bench next season. Here's the official Press Release from Canucks.nhl.com.
Read past the jump for more.
The Goods
Alain Vigneault has coached the Canucks for six seasons now, he's the winningest coach in franchise history and is coming off of two straight President's Trophy wins. Under his watch, the core of the team have blossomed into stars - though that hasn't stopped some Canucks fans from lamenting Vigneault's apparent inability to develop young talent.
While the Canucks have yet to win hockey's ultimate prize under Vigneault's watch, they've been consistently successful posting five 100 point seasons, and winning the anemic Northwest Division nearly every year. Head coaches are often popular scape-goats when teams fail in the playoffs, however, I'd argue that most of the Canucks postseason failures have come against superior teams, and that coaching matters a lot less than the average fan thinks it does.
For all of Vigneault's strengths - and there are many, including his innovative zone based line matching, his use of micro-stats like scoring chances, and his understanding of how to protect his best offensive players and take advantage of favorable matchups, he does inarguably take some things off of the table.
In particular, Vigneault is often impatient with talented, high-event players, and there are some talented guys who simply won't succeed under his watch (see Ballard, Keith). While the issues with Cody Hodgson seem to have been fissures rather than mere cracks, Vigneault's handling of Hodgson (and his public comments about Hodgson's back injury) were blunt, and probably unfair. Vigneault is also prone to personnel decisions that totally boggle the mind (why was Maxim Lapierre used so fleetingly this past season as the third line centre - after being so successful in that spot during the 2010-11 cup run?).
Indisputably, Vigneault is a wicked technical coach, and in terms of tactics and his use of advanced stats - Vigneault is well ahead of most of his NHL contemporaries. Even an ungenerous assessment would place him among the top-10 NHL bench bosses. But, possibly the most concerning issue for Canucks fans, as regards Alain Vigneault's coaching ability, stem from Mike Gillis' comments about the team "peaking" emotionally in January - and failing to get back to that emotional level for four months over the balance of the season!
That was a striking admission from the club's GM, and has to call into question Alain Vigneault's skills as a motivator. The fact is that the Canucks have often come out flat in essential moments during Vigneault's tenure, and that's a tough pill to swallow. While I think these concerns are fair, I'm not in the room, and what's clear is that Vigneault is well regarded by the players and by General Manager Mike Gillis.
That said, we'll be able to gauge the level of commitment the team has actually shown when the term of the extension is revealed. If Vigneault has been given merely a two year extension, rather than the typical three year extension, that will speak volumes. Of course, I'll update this post when those details leak.
The Right Process
On a personal level, it's nice to root for a mature, analytical hockey club that doesn't react emotionally to "failure" (like the team's first round exit this past season) and instead makes sober, calculated decisions based on what's best for the team. Whether or not Vigneault can lead the Canucks to the promised land remains to be seen, but the thought processes behind bringing him back for next season - despite public pressure and a disappointing result in round one - suggests to me that this is an organization with an intelligent and loyal approach. Let's hope the hockey gods reward it.
I'm happy. Okay, maybe not 'happy', but not angry or discontented. Don't fire a Jack Adams winning coach unless there's someone better waiting in the wings.
YAY!! Very happy!
May 23 2012, 01:38PM
Ok; now I want our year end presser AV. I think the majority wanted him fired, but now that cooler heads prevail, and a little share time for some of us, good re-sign. AV is a good coach, we Nuck fans know this, and the coach, along with the team have unfinished business, and it has to get done. For some reason I feel confident that next season will not be a 1st round scenario. I can't imagine what it was like going to game 7, no summer, injured players, then summer is over. So; the team gets a pass, but not next season. Got to admit, it still hurts and watching teams play I don't even like when ours is on the golf course stinks. Don't want to turn this into a personal therapy session, just wanted to extend congratulations to AV for getting a deal done.
Thomas; Your absoluter conclusion is in no way backed up by your hockey math
"If you like hockey math, you're happy with AV. If you like your hockey talk with a heavy dose of nonsense words: you don't
1. Nux 12 had their fen. close drop from #3 to 8th yet you and other Av converts trumpet the PT this yr? ignoring this basic hockey math?
2. You point out that Av is this master technical guy yethe hasn't once over performed in playoffs..in other words his team hasn't once won a series when they were a equal or less team.Wouldn't it make sense that if AV has these special skills/intangibles they might show up in playoff series where coaching is clearly more important? If not? why are they important/value do they have?
There are other vaild criticisms that I will post on but it appears that you have taken your subjective held belief & Yes some valid positive statistical evidence and arrived at absolute conclusion denying contrary evidence without any rigor
I'm glad we'll have AV for a few more seasons, I like him. Good article.
It sounded like Av drank 6 cups of coffee before his team 1040 interview, lol. He must have got lots of rest in the last 5 weeks.
Personally, I'm not happy he's back. Not cause he's a horrible coach, but cause I firmly believe they need a new voice. History dictates it's near impossible for a long serving coach to win the Cup. Like you Thomas, I quite enjoy his advanced stats coaching process - though I don't enjoy that he took it to the extreme this yr (I'd like to see the Sedins o-zone starts down next yr).
But Gillis can't seriously think that bringing back the same coach, coaching staff, and player personal is going to achieve different results. Insanity much? After Daniel was cheapshotted, Friedman stated Gillis was seriously thinking of going 'Boston style'. I.e. They were unhappy with the leagues response to cheapshots on their players, so they built a team that can defend itself. I'm betting we see a bigger, more physical team next yr (*fingers crossed*).
Rocket, i'm betting that you see the same thing next year, cause that's the canukcs M.O. since they got into the league. More of the same, keep your fingers crossed, spray and pray, build a team on hope and the Sedin sisters. when you change nothing you get nothing. It doesnt get much more worse than the epic game 7 choke and the year after 1st round choke.
Everyone knows the league doesnt call playoff games the same way the do in the regular season. For gillis to say otherwise shows what a dolt he is. That is something that has never changed since the nhl, and never will. AV's loveof luongo cost him the cup and rightfully so.
AV and Gillis are prime examples of Canuck hockey. You underachieve, you choke, you keep your job. In the UFC, 3 losses in a row and you're out of the company.The canucks have been losing for 40 years. Canucks keep their coach and G.M.? No surprise there, another 2 years of futility and then let's do the same and hope. They need to rename the team the Westcoast Jokers.
Happy? 7th game choke and 1st round rapage makes you happy? Enjoy another season of that, courtesy of AV and Gillis.
Hey Canook - epic game 7 choke? It was a tough loss; one person's great effort/comback (boston winning 4 of 5) is the other team's choke. Go on TSN and ESPN to post if you like to dump. If you want to say something intelligent, such as how the coaching staff didn't calm Rome down before he made his ill-advise knock-out check in the beginning of game 3, or how AV and the team did little to protect Luongo's psyche (not pulling him in game 3, Bruin trash talking before game 6, etc), or how AV wasn't prepared to be without Daniel Sedin for the first few games of the LA series, go ahead.
I tend to agree with the sentiment in Thomas's post. It looks they did this in a methodical way. I liked hearing that Gilles and AV had a number of conversations about the team, the game, their philosophy going forward. It may not pan out. But they are making good use of their time - an advantage of losing in round one is that it provides time to reflect, for looking at basic assumptions, etc., time before they have to focus on the draft and free agency. Hopefully this time next year, we will be talking how it has helped them get back to the Cup finals.

I'm wondering if when you spoke to the manufacturer- did the question of information about load rating come up? For instance- 3/4" plexi is good for your application but at what weight and how much longer could it be made and still support the same weight proportionately?
Steel beam load calculators are easy to find, but I doubt such a thing exists for plexi. Short of hiring an engineer to figure it out I'm not sure you could conjure the answer without expensive trial and error...
Thanks again for the info!
you could use thin layer of plexi over lexan... if wanting to prevent scratching lexan, not sure how this would work/look overall ...just wanted to throw it out there
There is a way to calculate the load rating of Lexan. Ready?
The tensile strength is 9860psi while the tensile strength at yield is 899. Elongation at break is 130 percent, while at yield is it is 7 percent. The flex yield strength is 13900psi. Its falling dart impact is 125 feet per pound and notched Izod impact is 15 feet per pound.
Or you can ask an engineer ;-)
Found this info by the way on e-How. By the way, I buy Lexan at Lowes Hardware, although I don't remember if they had really big sheets. I use them for ticket windows, etc. I also use plexiglass for some applications. When mounting, they make a special washer with rubber that goes into the hole and around the hole (like a grommet almost). I get those at Ace Hardware. Keeps the stuff from cracking when I screw them down.

Skin by Ann Webb Skin Organics Mellow Melon Gentle Cleanser Highlights: Hyaluronic Acid provides 6x cellular water retention to keep skin hydrated. Cucumber extract calms and soothes active skin. Melon extract calms active skin and provides scent. About Skin Organics Ann's passion for developing optimal skin care began at an early age. Her own struggles with cystic acne were the driving force behind her passion for deriving a solution to heal and develop beautiful skin. Ann traveled far beyond her small town of Gueydan, Louisiana to research and educate herself about every type of skin treatment available. She discovered that most treatments were limited to a topical medication and antibiotic treatment. During Ann's search she found that most dermatological treatment protocols were the same until she met Dr. Brent Schillinger. She was fascinated by his hands-on, specialized acne protocols that finally brought about a positive change in her skin. This fateful meeting began her journey into the world of esthetics. Ann went on to work for the PGA Spa, The Florida Center of Cosmetic Surgery, and serve as Cosmetic Director for the Austin Plastic Surgery Center while maintaining an esthetics studio in her home. In 2006, Ann turned to her best friend, Joanna Marceaux, who had worked for more than 8 years as a business development specialist. She immediately took over the growth of the company, and co-founded what would become Skin Organics. As life-long friends, they have now established a successful business partnership and have grown Skin Organics together! Skin Organics originated from Ann's very own garage and through a word-of-mouth frenzy it made itself into 1500 retailers and spa locations across the USA. In the summer of 2011, Skin Organics merged with Nutraceuticals Corp. and the line was renamed "Skin by Ann Webb." Ann continues to direct the line nationwide. Ann's true passion still lies in her own treatment spas located in Austin, Dallas, and Los Angeles, where she has harnessed more than 15 years worth of research and hands on training with her own protocols for treating skin.

Skip to comments.'Woolly mammoth' spotted in Siberia
Posted on 02/08/2012 2:52:34 PM PST by Red Badger
A BEAST lurches through icy waters in a sighting a paranormal investigator thinks could prove woolly mammoths are not extinct after all.
The animal thought to have mostly died out roughly 4,000 years ago was apparently filmed wading through a river in the freezing wilds of Siberia.
The jaw-dropping footage was caught by a government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia, it is claimed.
He filmed the elephant-sized creature as it struggled against the racing water.
Its hair matches samples recovered from mammoth remains regularly dug up from the permafrost in frozen Russia.
The official was reportedly in the area surveying for a planned road.
Paranormal writer Michael Cohen said: "Rumours of a handful of mammoths still kicking around in the vast wilderness of Siberia have been circulating for decades and occasionally sightings by locals have occurred.
"Siberia is an enormous territory and much of it remains completely unexplored and untouched by humans. "
Woolly mammoths roamed the Earth 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age.
A small pocket remained on and around Wrangel Island, off the coast of Siberia, and these did not die out until 3,500 years ago.
Mr Cohen, 41, added: "It is highly possible that a number of species, extinct elsewhere, survive in the area.
"If surviving woolly mammoths were found in Siberia, it could run against Russia's plans to further develop and exploit the area's considerable resources.
"It would be potentially one of the greatest discoveries ever."
But viewers are divided on the nature of the animal seen in the video. Some have dismissed it as a hoax while others reckon it is an elephant lost in the Siberian wilderness. The third theory is the sighting shows a bear eating a huge fish. What do you think?
Interesting video.
Don't really know what to make of it.
I could go with bear with fish. Would LOVE it to be a Mammoth, but hard to imagine they could have gone unnoticed til now. A lost elephant? Anyone really believe that? :)
+1 for 'bear w/salmon dinner'
Bear with a fish?
Yes, it is worth a ping. There have been reports of sightings like this in the past.
That aint no bear carrying a fish. You can see a tusk in front of the trunk.
The question is...is this an elephant some sicko turned loose, or is it really a mammoth?
Who's got the cryptozoology list now?
Beat me to it— I agree with you.
With all the modern cameras and what not, you'd think monster pictures would stop being grainy, fuzzy and out of focus....
Yep - quick poll of some afterwork fellows - say big bear with big salmon...
Yeah, I don't see how they could go unnoticed either. Kinda hard to miss an elephant track in the snow. But that vid is OBVIOUSLY NOT a fish hanging from a bear's mouth. You gotta be blind to think that.
Photo shop. Not a very good one at that.
Not a photoshop, in the video, you can see it move, it's a brown bear with a big salmon in its mouth. The 'trunk' is obviously silver/gray, it is no doubt a bear.
Whenever someone goes immediately to insults as part of their persuasion, I don't have much confidence that even THEY believe what they're saying.
I'd say its grainy because it was blown up. He used a cheap camera like a cell phone camera with no zoom or crappy zoom. The pic was so small someone used a computer to enlarge and crop and that made it grainy.
Just a hunch.
This is why:
"Siberia is an enormous territory and much of it remains completely unexplored and untouched by humans. "
Bear with a fish.
Notice how the video fades out before it distinctly becomes a bear; oldest trick in the book.
Oh you poor dear.
Sorry to disappoint all of you, but the picture is clearly 'Moochele' on her recent visit to Seberia eating a healthy fish dinner.
I believe that it is clearly an establishment Republican with his nose out of joint because of recent developments.
I always hate it when someone puts Rosie's head on Helen Thomas's body.
If it would be true —this would be a great resource for Russia—They could make millions selling them and breeding them. There could be a mint to be made in zoos alone.
Not possible.
Indigenous tribes have been living there for thousands of years.
Agreed. The "trunk" is obviously lighter in color than the rest. It's a fish a bear has grabbed by the head.
Problem with modern technology is the automation does not surrender control to hte operator. Back lighting in this instance is a problem. Getting the camera to focus on a distant object where the forground and background run through the subject is another. You need manual controls and the ability to use then on the fly. Most people can't react that quickly. We're going to keep getting crappy images of bigfoot and other reported strange creatures.
Woolly mammoth tusks curve up and almost join together around the trunk. Google it. Tons of pictures, all the same. The "tusk" in this video curves down and is suspiciously floppy. Ergo, bear with big fish.
It's a bear with a fish. Zoom in and the head is shaped like a bears. And to my recollection, Tusks are not straign and point downwards at an angle.
Why is it that whenever anybody films Bigfoot, a Yeti, a Chupacabra, a UFO, or even the world's last Wooly Mammoth they can NEVER seem to get a clear, in focus, shot????
You think every specimen is going to have those perfect enormous majestic tusks like depicted in the artists' pictures? I can show you plenty of REAL elephant pics with short straight tusks.
Looks like a brown bear with something in its mouth. The "trunk" is a different color than the rest of the animal and doesn't move much. The animal doesn't look to be struggling either.
If you WERE struggling in the water and had a built \-in snorkel, would you keep your nostrils down underwater?

And indigenous tribes have reported things like this for centuries, including in Alaska but know one believes them.
It would be easier to tell if we saw it emerge from the water. The structure of the legs and feet of a bear is much different than that of a mammoth. If the creature ran when it emerged from the water, it would be easy to tell. Even big brown bears clearly run but elephants (and I assume mammoths) just break into a fast walk. Entirely different gaits.
"Yes, it is worth a ping. There have been reports of sightings like this in the past."
Thank you!!!!
Their stories come from the dead ones they find thawing from a glacier. By the time the story gets to the 5th "teller", the story has changed to a living ferocious animal and they were lucky to escape alive.
It says the hair sample matches the hair of mammoths dug up in Siberia but I missed the part about how they got the new sample.
Hunton Peck, I think the close up you were able to get confirms that it's not a mammoth. It does look more like a bear that got a bit of barbed wire caught in its left ear. Or perhaps the bear was previously tagged by Progressive hunters. It's really hard to tell from the quality of the photo, but the body looks like it's turning Green. Perhaps we'll see this creature running in north America soon?
Except for the front being more lumbering and gargantuan than the rear, I would say that was Michelle Obama tanking a sausage.
Kodiak, Yup..
I suppose wading through rushing water could mask it but the thing seems to move like an elephant rather than a bear.
Yah... Bear with a fish. It's just (intentionally, IMHO) out of focus enough to let the mind be fooled by the outline... but it's a bear. The scale is all wrong, too. To be a mammoth it would have to be much farther away to be that small on screen, and that river would have to be some hundreds of yards wide. But just by looking at the shores on each side and the water, rocks and trees, the river isn't nearly that big and that animal isn't far enough away to be elephant-sized. The frame and scale of the scene only make sense if it is the size of a big bear.
It's an elephant.....Barnum and Bailey have set up camp on the other side of the trees........
It's a wooly bully!
LOL! Go to full screen.....You gotta be blind NOT TO SEE that that's a bear with a fish hanging out of it's mouth by the tail.......
And if it WAS a bear, that would explain why the camera person chose not to pursue the animal in order to get a better picture........
Come on dude, you're potentially the first person alive on this planet who may be seeing a Woolly mammoth for the first time in a million years and you don't chase the thing down to get a close up video?
I don't think a mammoth would walk a long with its trunk under water. The water is cold, plus it couldn't breathe.

Joshua leads Israel to the Jordan—The Lord cuts off the water of the Jordan; it stands up as a heap, and Israel passes over on dry ground.

Pros: One of the most comfortable circumaural headphones
Cons: Feels fragile for its price, SQ is decent but strong competition for the same price
OK, I have an "almost complete" impressions of the MDR-1R. If you guys are ok with something that's almost, but not completely done, here you go. sNaturally I'll be padding this post and updating it as I complete it and will inform readers of the update :-
Notes: No unboxing pix. Go see Jude's Gallery for it's unboxing.
Comfort And Design
These are extremely comfortable headphones. Probably the most comfortable headphone I've ever worn. They are a true circumaural that encompasses my ear however, they're not excessively large (i.e. they're not like the Denons D2/5/7000, nor Fostex TH-900) and the pleather is really soft on the earcups as well as the headband.
Sony was extremely nice enough to give us a presentation about the design of the MDR-1R and they spent a lot of time thinking about comfort during the design.
As you can see from the pictures, despite a thick frame earpad, where it's coupled to the actual earcup itself is only a thinner frame. Sony explained that the logic behind this is to allow the inner portion of the earpad (the part closes to surround one's ears) to be the softest part of the earpad and they were bang on the money on that - at least to my sized ears.
Note also the angle of the driver. This was done on purpose for prominent ears and the driver angle actually is parallel to mine.
Another detail Sony highlighted to us was the way the cups swivel, it was designed to swivel at an angle. This was to ensure a decent seal.
Whilst walking around though I did some microphonics from the squeak of either the headband or one of the swivels creaking. It was a little distracting but I've not determined the source of the squeaks.
Overall comfort and design though, it's an extremely comfortable headphone to wear around the head and hang around the neck. I've not actually tried another headphone that's that comfortable (and I've tried quite a few). The 235g weight contributes to the comfort quite a bit.
Having said that, at least to my experience, I do feel that it's a delicate headphone. The materials used does make me wonder about the durability of the product. Let's just say that I probably wouldn't cramp it into my bag of hefty Nikon camera body and lenses, nor would I simply throw it around.
The MDR-1R comes with a rather simple ballistic material softcase with two pockets (one for the headphone and the other for cables), and with 2xcables for straight audio and for smartphones (3xbutton). For both cables, the amp/source end is a right-angle plug. Sony mentioned one of the issues with cables in general is getting tangled up. So they have designed the cables to have mini parallel grooves all laterally back to front which prevents sticking. I'm not certain if this actually works or if the groves help, but I've not had tangles with these cables so far.
I have had a problem with the plug loosening out of my player quite a few times especially when I'm walking. This doesn't happen to my other headphone cables and I've not measure the diameter of the plugs to see if they're they same or smaller than other 3.5mm plugs. Another possibility is the right angle plug may not be a natural position especially when I have the DAP in my pocket or pouch.
Sound Quality
In my honest opinion, Sony is going to have extremely stiff competition releasing these headphones out now with their current pricing (approx $300?). There's a wave of headphones released all around now - V-Moda M-100, Sennheiser Momentums, Ultimate Ears UE6000/9000 - some priced less, some the same, and some more than the MDR-1Rs but all around the same category. Each of them have their unique SQ targeting to the similar audience. I myself have the M-100s and Momentums which I can compare directly against the 1Rs.
To my ears (after spending a few weeks with the M-100 and Momentums), the MDR-1Rs have a somewhat more flattish signature. Whilst in my opinion former two were more U-shaped (one more than the other), the MDR-1Rs seem to have more mids - typical of a Sony signature. Although from memory not as much as the Z1000. I'll need to head to the shops to do a direct comparison so please take that comparison with the Z1000 with a large grain of salt.
Sony mentioned that the MDR-1Rs were designed for the current style of music. They had a slide presentation which showed how over the past 3 decades, bass in popular music had shifted lower into the spectrum (primarily due to digitally produced music) and the MDR-1Rs were to designed to accomodate this trend. They consulted experts in the industry in UK during the defining of the MDR-1R signatures.
So with that said, the MDR-1Rs do seem to have more bass than the past Sony headphones I've heard (as such my remark about taking the comparison with the Z1000 with a large grain of salt 'cos I'm not certain if the Z1000 has more mids, or if the MDR-1R's bass/treble forwardness has given the apparent illusion that the MDR-1Rs has less mids than the Z1000 - if you follow my meaning).
Here's where I start comparing the MDR-1Rs with the other new headphones I have on my shelf. Despite the MDR-1Rs having more bass and still some forward extensions to the trebles, I find that they're conservative. As mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, to my ears and my interpretation it feels flattish because of this conservative signature. From Sony's presentation, I have a feeling this was meant to be their more bassy headphone.
Comparatively the Sennhesier Momentums have a more forward bass and treble. And the V-Moda M-100 have an extremely engaging lush bass. As such by comparison the MDR-1Rs to my ears don't feel as exciting as those other headphones. Having said that, I'd probably describe the MDR-1Rs to be more accurate in presenting acoustic instruments. Again this is probably contrary to Sony's expectation as from their presentation, I get the sense that electronic music was what they had in mind.
Aside from the frequency response, the soundstage and separation is quite decent. It's not as wide as the V-Moda M-100 (which to be honest, is unusually wide for a closed headphone in this price category) and leans more towards the Sennheiser Momentum's more intimate presentation, but somehow doesn't feel as congested as the Momentums. Instrument separation is still quite distinct.
Imaging: [Yet to be filled]
I find these headphones to benefit from amping. At least for my iDevices, I find the bass to feel somewhat thin but after having something like the V-Moda VAmp or VentureCraft Go-DAP 4.0 drive the MDR-1Rs the bass fills in more nicely.
As per above, in summary from a physical comfort perspective, I feel these are one of the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. And it's isolation is also very decent, way above average and one of the better ones. In terms of balance of isolation and comfort, I'd have to say this is the best next to the Denon D7100/5100's. Sound quality-wise however, I'd categorise it to be more of a flattish accurate sound signature. It lacks the "fun" factor however to my ears, it represents the music accurately. Despite being designed for more modern music, I find myself liking older music with lots of vocal and natural acoustic instruments. Such examples include :-
- Nicki Parrott's Sakura Sakura
- Lana Del Rey's Born To Die (Video Games good rendering of the voice but harpsicord lacks detail)
- Billy Joel (most of his albums actually)
- And the only electronic music I like that goes well with the MDR-1R is Hideki Matsutake's Digital Moon Album (for those who don't know, Sony's very 1st Walkman came with a demo tape with Hideki Matsutake's version of "Diamonds Are Forever")
EDIT: Added macro pix of the grooved cable

PRICE-Leslie Charlene Cook Newby Henderson, age 78, passed away May 23, 2009 at home.
She was born Dec. 11, 1930 in Elmer, Mo. to Winfred Leonard Cook "Cookie"and Edythe May Haxton.
Married Bill Newby Sept. 23, 1950, and they enjoyed raising their four wonderful children. Leslie was very proud of her children and grandchildren, and she always spoke highly of her family and their accomplishments. In the fall of each year, her and Gramps would make the trip to Colorado to visit with her family. They loved these outings, but they were cut short after Bill's passing on Dec.13, 1989.
On Oct. 11, 2000, she married her sweety, Dewey Henderson and they loved retreating to Arizona. This was a very exciting time for her, and during the flood of 2000 she was rescued to safety in the bucket of a front end loader. Dewey preceded her in death on Feb. 8, 2001.
Granny wasn't about to stop living and she was fortunate to share the companionship of Gordon Craft for the past five years. Leslie and Gordon shared a home together, and fulfilled many life long dreams through their travels. They traveled immensely across the states by bus, plane and car. Upon returning from their trips, she could hardly wait to show everyone the rolls of 10 (or more) pictures they took, and what their plans were for the next big adventure.
Leslie was a member of the Price Chapel-CMA. She was a longtime volunteer of the Carbon County Senior Center. In her 70s, she returned to the College of Eastern Utah to further her education. She was greatly loved by her family and will be sorely missed by all. No one will ever fill Granny's shoes.
She is survived by her sweetheart, Gordon Craft, Price; sister, Wanda (Richard) Watkins, Ridgeway, Colo.; one daughter and three sons, Dona (Allen) Nay, Kansas City, Mo.; Billy Newby, Tremonton, Utah, Larry (Sue) Newby, Johnny Newby, both of Price; 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and many loving step-children.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Graveside services, were held, Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 1:30 p.m., at the Price City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.

Now after reading the mangastream version, it's worth mentioning a few things.
S-ritter was able to break Kensei's bones and Bankai (yep his Bankai got shattered -left bottom panel) only after the second applause (this makes him the 3rd Quincy to have directly destroyed a Bankai). This might mean that he might have been able to power up and store/stack it up it indefinitely, just like the O-ritter, though in S's case, it seems to work more intensively (though seeing the intensity of it's working, it probably power ups him for a limited time). The applause also heals any damage that was dealt to him.
From a technical stand point, S's power is actually very Quincy like. The only difference is that instead of absorbing reishi, he absorbs the feelings, roars and applause of his audience. In other words, his fighting style still bases on absorbing something and turning it into his own strength/power.
Seeing as Rose could move (barely) with a hole in his chest, it's possible that Kira also survived his own hole in the chest (doesn't seem like it, but you never know in those kinds of stories ). Someone better use the Orihime Card, so that we could see Rose in H2-From ;P.
I wonder when the Quincy that Ukitake faced will be revealed (we only see him from behind top panel). Is he the same one that Rukia fought against, or a different one ?
So we have a confirmation that only Ichigo's Zanpakutou was completely remodeled. Well from the beginning only their Bankais were meant to be reforged, but the situation with Ichigo's Zan was a bit different.

The following notable individuals and/or organizations have endorsed Milloy's work:
Eminent Scientists and Public Health Heroes
- Philip Abelson, Phd, Editor, Science, 1962-1984, winner of the National Medal of Science, Co-discoverer of Neptunium: "...

Green Hell astutely unmasks the dangerous ramifications of that philosophy," from Not Easy — or Smart — Being Green, May 9, 2009.

Wins, Accomplishments and Memorable Moments (under development)
- The report that started it all: "Choices in Risk Assessment." Following the end of the Cold War, the Department of Energy (DOE) faced clean-up costs for its nuclear weapons sites amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. The high costs would largely have been incurred because of EPA standards that essentially would have required the former weapons sites be returned to "Garden of Eden" status. At the time, the DOE took the EPA standards so seriously that it was actually developing essentially a giant vacuum cleaner to suck-up the top layer of sand at the Nevada Test Site (approximately 5,400 square miles in size), decontaminate it and replace the sand. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of the clean-ups, the Bush administration DOE commissioned Milloy in 1992 to lead an investigation into whether EPA clean-up standards were based on science or politics. Milloy's team of science and policy experts (called the Regulatory Information Analysis Project) compiled a report titled, "Choices in Risk Assessment: The Role of Science Policy in the Environmental Risk Management Process." Completed in the fall of 1994, the report concluded that environmental policy was largely based on politics, not science. But when the report was completed and circulated for review within the Clinton administration-run DOE, the report was flagged as politically incorrect and Milloy was ordered by staffers of Clinton appointee Carol Henry (a former EPA staffer) to keep the report secret. Sacrificing his business relationship with the Clinton DOE, Milloy disobeyed the order and released the report, which was subsequently featured in a Wall Street Journal editorial. The attention that "Choices in Risk Assessment" garnered coincided with the Republican takeover of 104th Congress and congressional focus on regulatory reform, vaulting Milloy into the regulatory reform debate about to take place on Capitol Hill. Milloy testified before the U.S. Senate about risk assessment in the context of DOE clean-up on March 6, 1995. The DOE never wound up spending hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up its weapons sites. No word on what ever happened to the giant NTS vacuum cleaner.
- Prevented the EPA from Stalin-izing statistical significance. In May 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed to update its guidelines for conducting cancer risk assessments. Milloy discovered that the EPA surrepticiously deleted the requirement that epidemiologic data be statistically significant before they can be used to infer cause-and-effect relationships. Statistical significance was a sore spot with the EPA since it had given the EPA fits with respect to the epidemiologic studies on secondhand smoke. When Milloy asked the EPA whether it intended to delete the requirement or whether the omission was innocent, the EPA denied the requirement had been deleted. When other members of the public inquired about the deletion/omission, the EPA denied it. When members of Congress inquired about the deletion, the EPA again denied it. The persistent Milloy publicized the issue to great effect and and brought the issue before the EPA's Science Advisory Board which rejected the EPA's denials. In its review letter to EPA administrator Carol Browner, the SAB wrote in polite bureaucrat-ese: "There is (in the proposed guidelines) no explicit statement in the proposal that statistical significance should be a basic requirement for determining causality. This lack of an explicit statement has been interpreted as misleading and implying there is a hidden intent to eliminate statistical significance as a consideration in assessing causality. Adding appropriate and specific language concerning statistical significance should rectify this problem." When the guidelines were finalized in 2005, the statistical significance requirement had been reinstated in Section 220.127.116.11 Evidence for Causality: "The general evaluation of the strength of the epidemiological evidence reflects consideration not only of the magnitude of reported effects estimates and their statistical significance, but also of the precision of the effects estimates and the robustness of the effects associations."
- Ousting the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Right before the January 1999 Senate impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton over whether the President had lied when he denied having sex with Monica Lewinsky, the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) was preparing to defend President Clinton by publishing in its January 20, 1999 issue an opinion survey purporting to show that the public didn't consider oral sex to be sexual intercourse. Milloy learned of the study's imminent publication five days ahead of publication (January 14, 1999) and broke the news on JunkScience.com. The Washington Times picked up the story, made inquiries at the American Medical Association, and published on its front page a story titled, "AMA Releases Old Survey on Oral Sex Just in Time for President's Trial." Within 24 hours, JAMA editor George Lundberg was fired. In firing Lundberg, the American Medical Association stated, "Dr. Lundberg, through his recent actions, has threatened the historic tradition and integrity of the Journal of the American Medical Association by inappropriately and inexcusably interjecting JAMA into a major political debate that has nothing to do with science or medicine. This is unacceptable." but Lundberg had long used JAMA a vehicle to publish junk science. The study in question, as an example, was a stale, eight-year old study of college students that Lundberg dusted off and rushed to publication in a misquided effort to involve JAMA in President Clinton's impeachment trial. Lundberg's firing sent shock waves throughout the medical journal community.
- Fighting 'secret science'. Fighting 'Secret Science'. JunkScience.com was instrumental in the fight for "data access" -- the right of the public to review taxpayer-funded scientific data used to support federal regulation. Here's one way, JunkScience.com helped. Science magazine reported on April 2, 1999 that,
"Scientists opposing a controversial data-access proposal appear to be headed for a lopsided win in an unusual skirmish--even as their opponents are raffling off prizes to gain allies. Acting on legislation pushed by Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in January released a controversial proposal to require taxpayer-funded researchers to hand over their raw data to anyone who files a request (Science, 12 February, p. 914). The agency gave the public until 5 April to comment, sparking a furious letter-writing campaign both for and against the proposal. Last month, rule opponents--including most scientific societies--were alarmed to discover that the other side was ahead in the comment contest, in part because it was offering a creative incentive: People who used the Junk Science Web page (www.junkscience.com) to write to OMB could win a subscription to an environmental policy newsletter or the electronic Wall Street Journal. But the tide has turned in the last few weeks: The 1600-and-counting comments OMB has received so far are running 4 to 1 against the rule, says the Washington-based American Association of Universities. Whether the landslide will persuade OMB to rewrite the proposal, however, won't be known until later this year, when it must finalize the rule."
But JunkScience.com didn't give up. Two weeks later, Science reported,
"In an 11th-hour campaign to tip the scales in their favor, supporters of a controversial new data-access law flooded the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in early April with letters supporting its implementation. Many scientists oppose the provision, pushed by Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), which would force taxpayer-funded researchers to hand over raw data to the public on request (Science, 2 April, p. 23). But when a public comment period closed on 5 April, supporters appeared to have cranked out the majority of more than 10,000 comments sent to OMB, although no exact count was available."
- COP-ped the IPCC's URL. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's third annual "conference of the parties" of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-3) was held in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997 and was hosted at http://www.cop3.org. The fourth conference of the parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-4) was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 1998 and was hosted at http://www.cop4.org. The fifth conference of the parties parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-5) was held in Bonn, Germany -- but couldn't be located at http://www.cop5.org. Why not? Because Milloy bought that address and pointed it at Junkscience.com. The IPCC was forced to construct the web site for the COP-5 conference at the less findable http://www.iisd.ca/climate/cop5/.
- Debunking dioxin hysteria courtesy of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Prompted by Ben & Jerry's claim on its ice cream packaging that there is no safe level of exposure to dioxin, Milloy and Dr. Michael Gough tested Ben & Jerry's World's Best Vanilla ice cream for dioxin and found that a single scoop contained 200 times the amount of dioxin that the EPA said was safe, thereby debunking dioxin hysteria once and for all. Around the time the study was published, the EPA was proposing to classify dioxin as 10 times more carcinogenic than previously considered. That would have made a single scoop of Ben & Jerry's ice cream contain 2,000 times more dioxin than the EPA considered to be safe. Milloy testified before the EPA Science Advisory Board about the study, which had also been presented at the poster session of the Dioxin 2000 conference. The study also made the front page of the Detroit News upon its release. Ben & Jerry's howled about the study and JunkScience.com on its web site for years.

- Debunking low-level radiation hysteria courtesy of the U.S. Capitol Building. To expose and debunk low-level radiation fears and over-regulation, Milloy and Dr. Michael Gough measured levels of ionizing radiation emitted in the U.S. Capitol and Library of Congress buildings. Dose rates measured exceeded background radiation levels, ranging as high as 30 microrems per hour. This rate is: (1) up to 550 percent greater than the typical dose rate "at the fence line" around nuclear power plants; (2) about 13,000 times greater than the average individual dose rate from worldwide nuclear power production and the Chernobyl accident; and (3) exceeds the dose rate associated with the radiation protection standards proposed for the Yucca Mountain high-level nuclear waste facility by as much as 65 times. Cancer risk for these exposure levels, based on the linear no-threshold (LNT) model of carcinogenesis, qualified the U.S. Capitol Building as a Superfund (toxic waste) site under U.S. EPA guidelines. Based on a letter transmitting these results to Yucca Mountain opponent Sen. Harry Reid, the Architect of the Capitol conducted a survey of the U.S. Capitol Building, pronouncing the building safe. The story was reported in Roll Call (April 16, 2001) and Milloy responded (April 23, 2001). Milloy was also later interviewed on FOX News Channel's Special Report in August 2005.

- Co-invented world's first global thermometer. TBD.
- World's First Global Thermometer, FOXNews.com, May 20, 2005.
- First global warming skeptic shareholder resolution. On behalf of the Free Enterprise Action Fund, Milloy drafted and successfully lawyered through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission the first climate skeptic shareholder resolution over the vigorous challenge of the General Electric Co. Though the resolution didn't pass at the shareholder meeting, it did garner enough votes to compel GE to include it on the ballot for the following year. Milloy continued to successfully defend the FEAF's global warming resolution in 2007 and 2008.
- 'LIve Earth' invasion and first JunkScience.com air raid. Milloy engineered an invasion of Al Gore's "Live Earth" global warming concert on July 7, 2007. Under the name "DemandDebate.com" (so-called because Al Gore famously insisted that the debate over global warming was "over"), Milloy sponsored a group of free-market oriented college students (BureauCrash) to attend the "Live Earth" concert to spread the DemandDebate.com message. The students wore DemandDebate.com T-shirts bearing the slogan "I'm more worried about the intellectual climate." The students took inflatable globe beach balls, bearing the "intellectual climate" phrasing, into the event and let them loose. On live TV coverage of the event and while rock bands played, the DemandDebate.com beachballs were visibly tossed around the crowd, making it into the mosh pit and even on stage. When Al Gore came out to address the crowd, an air plane bearing a banner reading "Don't believe Al Gore. DemandDebate.com" flew over the stadium. The pilot, listening to the event on his satellite radio, revved his engine the moment Al Gore began to speak. Another aerial banner reading "Don't trust Al Gore. DemandDebate.com" also flew in what can be regarded as the first anti-junk science air raid in history. The air raid was noted by media including CNN, the Philadelphia Inquirer and Rush Limbaugh (July 9, 2007 radio broadcast). According to a report in The Record (Bergen County, NJ), "Live Earth" headliner John Mayer "... spent most of his post-performance press conference angrily wondering why people would buy into (DemandDebate.com's) line of reasoning...."
- Banned from CNBC by order of the GE CEO. As a featured panelist at the first Wall Street Journal ECO:nomics conference in March 2008, which also featured General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, Milloy was scheduled for a televised debate with fellow conference panelist and CERES head Mindy Lubber. The debate was to be moderated by CNBC host Melissa Francis. Though Milloy's Free Enterprise Action Fund had vigorously campaigned for almost three years against GE's support for global warming legislation, including at shareholder meetings where Immelt was publicly questioned, Milloy chatted amiably with Immelt for about 45 minutes at a pre-conference cocktail party, during which time Milloy mentioned to Immelt that he was scheduled to appear on GE-owned CNBC during the conference. Before Milloy's CNBC appearance, however, Immelt was grilled by free market supporters during the conference's opening event. Immelt received such a hard time that Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott, who witnessed the public drubbing, confessed to a Wall Street Journal host that what happened to Immelt had kept him up all night. When Milloy showed up for his debate with Lubber, he was told that he had been replaced by a Wall Street Journal staffer. Though he had appeared on CNBC many times before Immelt's ban, Milloy has not appeared on CNBC since.
- Spurred Congressional probing of Al Gore's financial conflicts of interest, resulting in false Congressional testimony by Gore. Milloy's April 24, 2009 Human Events column, "Questions for Al Gore," inspired Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Steve Scalise (R-La.) to interrogate Al Gore during his same-day testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in favor of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. Gore lied to Blackburn about donating all his climate-related profits to non-profit advocacy groups. Gore lied Scalise about not having any business relationship with Goldman Sachs. Gore was not, however, under oath. Clips of these exchanges have been repeatedly used in various media.
- "Carbon criminal" campaign infuriates a U.S. Senator and touches a CEO. The 111th Congress' push for cap-and-trade was heavily lobbied by the U.S. Climate Action Partnership – a coalition of big businesses and environmental activist groups. JunkScience.com developed its "Carbon Criminal" campaign featuring "Wanted" posters for 11 of the USCAP member company CEOs. JunkScience.com also commissioned a bobblehead of Exelon Corp. CEO John Rowe as the "Carbon Bandit." Rowe had publicly boasted of the billions of dollars in windfall profits Exelon anticipated making from cap-and-trade. Rowe was presented with the bobblehead after his testimony before the Senate for Environment and Public Works. Weeks later, EPW Chairman Barbara Boxer attacked JunkScience.com's "Carbon Criminal" campaign in a December 14, 2009 speech on the Senate floor. During a March speech (video/transcript) at the American Enterprise Institute in which he surprisingly called for the 112th Congress to take no action on energy, Rowe set his bobblehead on the speaker's podium, and waved it around calling it a "cherished memento." Did the bobblehead help Rowe re-think his cap-and-trade rentseeking? Only the Carbon Bandit knows.
- Ousting a Pitt anti-fracking activist-researcher. JunkScience.com's spotlight on anti-fracking activist-researcher Conrad Volz led to Volz's ouster from the University of Pittsburgh. The JunkScience.com article, "Pitt prof caught off base in new frack attack", exposed Volz's flawed research and anti-fracking activism — a combo that was too much for Pitt. This Pittsburgh Tribune-Review news report refers to Canada Free Press' reprint of the original JunkScience.com article.
- GE CEO admits error in going green. Through the Free Enterprise Action Fund, Milloy launched a six-year long campaign against General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt's decision to lobby for climate legislation. On May 3, 2011, Immelt publicly acknowledged that going "green" was a mistake and that he would stop lobbying for comprehensive climate and energy legislation. Milloy's campaign is described in this Investor's Business Daily op-ed.
Film Appearances
Milloy holds:
- a B.A. in Natural Sciences, Johns Hopkins University;
- a Master of Health Sciences (Biostatistics), Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health;
- a Juris Doctorate, University of Baltimore; and
- a Master of Laws (Securities regulation) from the Georgetown University Law Center.

All Tanguay all the time
Jean Lefebvre
August 07 2009 09:12AM
Following up on the other day's bit, the Alex Tanguay plot thickens.
Pierre Durocher, a very respected and trustworthy hockey writer based in Montreal, reports that Tanguay has fired his longtime agent Bob Sauve. And get this — Tanguay is going to Edmonton... to find a new agent, namely Steve Kotlowitz.
It's been that kind of summer for Tanguay, who is seeking his third team in as many years. With shoulder issues and with his points production having tumbled from 81 to 58 to 41 (in 50 games) over the past three winters, Tanguay has seen his value drop and he's facing a huge trim on the $5.3 million he earned in 2008-09.
Reports out of Tampa are saying that Tanguay would love to play in Tampa alongside the likes of fellow Quebecois Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St-Louis. Trouble is, the Bolts are up against it as far as their budget is concerned (these are the chaps who will be paying Vinny Prospal not to play for them for the next six seasons) so they would have to shed salary before signing the ex-Av, ex-Flame and ex-Hab.
I don't think the Bolts could afford a Tanguay Jersey, let alone his services.
Excellent! Two Tanguay articles!
Thanks for the update Jean
Latest update — a Montreal report has a quote from Tanguay saying it's down to Tampa Bay or Minnesota, so it looks like the Flames encore isn't happening.
That's disappointing, but not surprising. I hope he doesn't play in Minny for the Flames sake.
@ Kent: Agreed. I think Minny is the more likely destination, though, given TB's lack of salary room.

Immediate release

Casa welcomes a new generation of business women
Entrepreneurial women in Chesterfield can boost their business during a monthly lunch meeting when the Women in Business Network (WIBN) launches at the Casa Hotel this month.
Founded in 2005, WIBN is a networking organisation created for women, by women. WIBN appeals to women who are serious about networking and welcomes business owners and employed business women to attend a monthly meeting, to gain new business through word of mouth.
Louise Cutting, 42, a Travel Counsellor from South Normanton, will launch Chesterfield's first WIBN at Casa on Tuesday May 29th. The mum of two is encouraging local women to join the monthly meetings, which allow time for members to give a spotlight presentation to promote their services. The meetings also include networking and business support, a 'Let's talk business' slot where referrals can be exchanged, and an opportunity for all the women in the room to give a one minute presentation.
Louise Cutting commented:
"I've wanted to do this for years because I think Chesterfield would really benefit from a Women in Business Network. A lot of the networking events in the area are male dominated and are either breakfast networking events or after work drinks, both of which clash with the school run and childcare. The WIBN meetings are at lunch time, which is fits in with busy schedules."
"WIBN offers women the opportunity to expand their business in the area and make new contacts. I have had a great response from the women of Chesterfield and we already have a number of women who have taken membership ahead of the first meeting. As we only allow one profession per group I can see the spaces filling up quickly."
Casa Operations Director, Stuart Downham commented:
"We host a lot of different networking events at Casa, so we are delighted that Louise chose us to launch this new group. Supporting and boosting local business is vital for Chesterfield, so we're honoured to be involved. We hope our facilities will appeal to the members and they will consider us in the future too."
If you are interested in attending the launch event on May 29th please contact Louise Cutting on: 0844 247 8059 or email@example.com
