The List of Possible Head Coaches
Jonathan Willis
April 12 2009 10:41AM
With the season finally over, it seems inevitable that Craig MacTavish will be dismissed or resign from his position as an NHL head coach. The question that most fans have been wondering for the last few weeks is who exactly will replace him.
With that in mind, I've taken the liberty of drawing up a list of 40 or so names who I've either seen mentioned in the context of this particular job, or discussed as candidates for NHL coaching jobs in the past. Because it's such a long list, I've boiled every candidate down to a one-sentence summary and ranked him in one of three categories: short list, long list, shouldn't be seriously considered.
If there are any names that you'd like to see included, let me know and I'll be happy to add them.
Short List
Scott Arniel - The AHL Coach of the Year has never had a losing season. Guy Carbonneau - Fired Canadiens' head coach is used to coaching in a pressure cooker. Kevin Constantine - Houston Aeros' head coach has been successful everywhere – including in the NHL and has a reputation as something of a task master. Peter Laviolette - Has won championships in the AHL and NHL; he's not a favourite of mine but there's no doubt that he's been successful. Jacques Lemaire - Minnesota's head coach has decided he's finished with the Wild, but I t remains to be seen if he's finished with the NHL. Don Lever - Canadiens' assistant coach has been very successful in the AHL and has spent 15 seasons as an NHL assistant. Paul MacLean - Mike Babcock's long-time assistant has had NHL success but was also a first-rate minor league head coach for 8 years. Tom Renney - Successful everywhere he's coached (WHL, Intl., NHL), Tom Renney will land another NHL job and might be a nice change from MacTavish. Brent Sutter - New Jersey's head coach has been successful everywhere, and is supposedly home sick for Alberta.
Long List
Newell Brown - An assistant coach in Anaheim, Brown has tons of experience as an NHL assistant and was a decent AHL coach. Marc Crawford - Crawford was a very good AHL coach and has a very good career record in the NHL. Randy Cunneyworth - Currently an assistant in Atlanta, Cunneyworth was a decent AHL head coach for many years. Willie Desjardins - Very successful WHL coach has won two championships. Kevin Dineen - Has a very good track record as an AHL head coach. Marc Habscheid - Has been very successful in the WHL. Bob Hartley - Has had success at every level, including championships in the AHL and NHL. Dale Hunter - Has been the driving force behind a very good London Knights squad for years, should get an NHL shot at some point. Dave Farrish - A good AHL coach and phenomenal ECHL coach, Farrish has spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach in Anaheim. Greg Gilbert - Has had a mixed track record in the AHL and didn't see much success in Calgary. Glen Hanlon - Bruce Boudreau's predecessor in Washington has had a mixed track record in the AHL and had a good season as Jokerit's head coach this year. Don Hay - An incredibly successful junior coach, Hay has had mixed success in the professional ranks. Charlie Huddy - Huddy's had previous experience as a head coach (a very nice year in the ECHL) and been an NHL assistant coach for 10 seasons, and has had some success developing defensemen. Dave King - Two-time NHL head coach has had success recently in Europe, and did a good job in both of his previous NHL stops. Kevin Lowe - The Oilers' President of Hockey Operations probably doesn't want the job, but had a decent season in Edmonton before being promoted to G.M. Ted Nolan - Has had success on the ice everywhere he's coached, but has also alienated general managers. Pat Quinn - A very successful career coach with two appearances in the Stanley Cup finals, at 66 Quinn isn't a long-term solution. Craig Ramsay - The long time assistant coach had one very good regular season in Philadelhpia but lost his job when the team couldn't get out of the first round. Todd Richards - A very successful AHL head coach, Richards is currently an assistant in San Jose. Larry Robinson - He's been to the finals twice and has a decent record in the NHL regular season. Denis Savard - Was fired four games into the season despite a decent track record in Chicago. Jim Scheonfeld - A very capable coach in both the NHL and AHL, it seems likely that he's content to serve as an Assistant G.M. in New York.
Shouldn't Be Seriously Considered
Kelly Buchberger - One season as an AHL head coach with a losing record and one season as an NHL assistant coach with a losing record does not inspire confidence. Rob Daum - A good career coach in many leagues, Daum has yet to prove that he can be a consistently successful AHL coach. Kelly Kisio - Calgary's WHL coach, Kisio's had teams with good records his entire career, but has never coached in the professional leagues. Mike Kitchen - Career assistant was a failure as the St, Louis Blues' head coach. Mark Lamb - Former Oilers' assistant has spent the past six seasons on Dave Tippett's staff in Dallas, but has never been a head coach. Mark Messier - Hiring an NHL head coach with no coaching experience seems like a bad decision. Bill Moores - Moores has coached all over (including a very successful season in the WHL and time in Japan) and has a wealth of experience as an NHL assistant coach. John Paddock - Paddock has been a good AHL coach for many years, but his teams have imploded in two separate NHL stints. Craig Simpson - Simpson spent three seasons as the man in charge of Edmonton's special teams, with mixed results – a great penalty kill and a poor powerplay. Matt Thomas - Has had excellent results in the ECHL, sparking a turn around in Stockton, but should probably be tested in the AHL first. John Torchetti - Blackhawks assistant coach has an inconsistent track record. Geoff Ward - The former Roadrunners coach recently jumped to the NHL as one of Claude Julien's assistants, but has a middling track record in junior and the minors.

Kelley Buchberger's Oilers will go 82-0, you watch.
Assuming MacT leaves on his own terms as opposed to being fired, it probably opens the door for Huddy to be part of the short list.
April 12 2009, 11:24AM
@ Rick:
Maybe it does, but given the names above him it shouldn't.
@ Jonathan Willis:
In the last few years this organization seems to have strayed from the "it shouldn't" and they do it anyways.
In fairness though, when I wrote that it was with thinking that KLowe would be making the call and that probably wasn't fair.
If for no other reason Huddy is probably off the list because Tambellini won't want the hiring associated with the old boys club.
He HAS to put his stamp on this team and demonstrate that he has the chops to do what HE thinks is needed. Hiring his coach would be a damn fine start.
Doesn't anyone think that Coyotes Coach could head to Edmonton?
I like the short list, especially the first couple. Arniel, Maclean, Renney and Laviolette would all be serious upgrades. There is speculation of both Tippet and Ruff losing their jobs, either of whom I would take over any of the others. In all honesty, I would consider Pat Quinn on the short list as well. He may only be a short term solution, but the guy is a winner and can coach offense out of smurfs (as the wjhc proves).
I don't usually disagree with your analysis JW, but I cannot believe that Crawford is on your long list and not on the don't touch me with a ten foot pole list. I'm sorry, he is not a good coach. He would be a fine assistant, maybe in charge of PP systems as he does possess a strong offensive mind, but his middle of the road record with a Vancouver team that could and should have been so much better, not to mention how he nearly killed the Kings really makes me believe he is not ready for prime time in a hockey market like ours. Dineen, Glibert, Hay or Constantine might cause me to quit watching hockey altogether, especially Constantine. This team would fail miserably under his reign (likely of terror).
Aside from that, great assessment, very comprehensive. It's going to be an interesting off season. Keep it up JW. Good luck with the other sites now that our beloved Oil won't have anything worth writing about for a while
April 12 2009, 11:41AM
@ Eric: How does that end the reign of terror that has been the Old Boys Club? And he isnt a good coach.
Didn't Pat Quinn and Steve Tambellini work together on the Canuck's '94 cup run?
I really like the idea of a hard ass coming in and bringing his own guys (thus eliminating all our assistants - which I would also love to see).
Don't know about the '94 cup run, due to my general indifference of Vancouver based success, but they did work together on a couple of Olympic teams if I recall correctly.

Listening to him on HNIC, he originally was on my "not to be considered" list, but his record over the years (and not just in the NHL) is impeccable.

Yeah I'm liking the thought of a Pat Quinn/Rob Daum combination. One guy to work the psychological part and the other to work the chalkboard. We need a coach that can bring professionalism out of players' games. Not enough pride in the Oilers' games this year.
A little off topic, but i seem to have realized that you guys here at the nation have given the oilers 10 less losses than they have. It looks like we are an over .500 club, which unfortunately isn't the case(taking ot losses into account).
@JW...that's fair. I know he has a good track record, and in all honesty he had some excellent observations last night, especially regarding Gagner, but I just have a general loathing towards Crow. I can't explain it or even really justify it, but I feel as though he would not be a good fit for this Oiler team. To me, his record also speaks volumes, but in a different direction. Certainly there's something to be said about the talent he had to work with on the Nordvalanche teams of the mid 1990s. He has never had a team that talented to work with since, and has never duplicated the successes of those teams either. Even his best year with the 'nucks he under-achieved, the Nagano '98 Olympic squad was a disaster, despite the NHL roster, and the Kings were a train wreck of epic proportions. His early success was never duplicated in either of his next coaching jobs. I think his reputation as an elite coach largely rests on the fact that he had Sakic, Forsberg and Roy at their peak. Anybody could've coached that team to a cup in '96. The bottom line is I simply don't believe he's that good of a head coach-assistant or associate I could work with, but I would not grant him tenure any time soon.
April 12 2009, 12:19PM
@ shepso:
Well, he's not on my short list anyway. The nine names there are all qualified, but I'd probably look at Lemaire/Sutter first, and definitely interview Renney, MacLean, Arniel and Lever.
I like Dale Hunter. Where does he fit on your list.
Jon are you talking about Lemaire strictly from his win/loss record? Didn't you get the memo that we all hate watching the Oil vs Wild games because the Wild play such a boring style of hockey? :)
@JW-Agreed on that last post for sure. Any of those guys would be excellent. (Well, maybe not Lemaire...he coaches highly successful yet very boring hockey.) Again, if there's any stock to the rumors of Ruff or Tippet getting axed, those guys should merit serious consideration. I would take Lindy Ruff to coach this team in half a heartbeat!

I like Hunter too. I'm not crazy about bumping junior coaches directly to the NHL though; I think the dynamic is very different.
April 12 2009, 12:31PM
@ SkinnyD: @ shepso:
I may be in the minority here, but I'll watch 82 games a year of defensive hockey if it means winning.
point taken
April 12 2009, 12:36PM
JW, How do you feel about Jim Schoenfeld? He was a good coach, ref beatings aside.
At the risk of being scrutinized....
John Paddock had an excellent track record in the minors and a pretty decent NHL record with Ottawa and Winnipeg but was thrown under the bus for Emery being a diva...thoughts?
April 12 2009, 12:55PM
@ Don Murdochs Hair:
Added to the long list, because while he's had a good record as a coach he's now in management in New York and probably enjoys the job security.
@ dizzle:
Paddock's record in Winnipeg was none too impressive either, but I've added him.
April 12 2009, 12:59PM
Maybe Slats will feel sorry for us...... @ Jonathan Willis:
This is the Oilers; and therefore I care about one thing only when considering our next coach. We are supposed to be an offensive, exciting up-tempo hockey team and that is what we want here instead of what we have had.
Give us an offensive-minded coach or give us death; 'cause I can't watch another season of this shit - ever again!
I really like Carbonneau or Don Lever (The Cleaver). Both should be able to handle the pressure of coaching in Edmonton, both were great players, and both should help revive the Oiler special teams. I said at the start of the season that this edition of the Oilers would live and die by their special teams...(Of course I thought our special teams would be good)
I respect your opinions, Jonathan, but you need to get past Renney. I've watched the Rangers since the lockout and he just has too much in common with MacTavish in my opinion to be a good idea right now.
April 12 2009, 02:16PM
@ Jamie:
You say that like it's a bad thing ;)
I'd rather us be a balanced, fun team to watch like Chicago than watch the trap for 82 games...just my opinion. :) @ Jonathan Willis:
April 12 2009, 03:38PM
What about Sean Simpson? He's/was very successful in Switzerland (Zurich Lions) and Germany. He's aiming a NHL job after winning the European's Champions League.
April 12 2009, 03:41PM
@ #Swiss Oil fan:
I hadn't considered Simpson. He's done a nice job internationally but it's tough to imagine that an NHL team will be willing to hand the reigns over to him without any North American coaching experience.
April 12 2009, 04:01PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
You're right Jonathan. As a Canadian coach working successfully in Europe, it's quite difficult to enter the NHL-coaching circle. All you need is having a good network so I am looking forward to what kind of network Tambellini is albe to count on...If MacT is really going to resign I would suggest that the whole coaching staff should quit...house cleaning and a fresh start would be the right thing. Btw: It's even possible the other way: Dave Chambers and Pierre Page, both old NHL coaches, have recently been working in Switzerland but only with medicority...so who knows we maybe see MacT in Europe but I'm sure he's going to find another challenge in the NHL.
Hunter has already said he's not leaving London. Although he would a nice fit. He's coached Gags and Schremp, and unlike MacT, would definitely give Schremp the chance he deserves.

A chance to finish second-worst on his AHL team in +/- (-26)? Or a chance to score 7 goals in an entire NHL season?
No worries, Schremp's already gotten those chances. Besides, as I recall Hunter sat Schremp unceremoniously on more than one occasion - including in the playoffs.
I guess Gretzky is too well needed in Phoenix to consider parting with the org........ but doesn't that seem almost too perfect? Gretzky is a God here, his word would be golden.. He has had a lot of experience at this point too and I'm sure hes about ready to come into his own. I know everyone hates the idea of keeping any boys or any busses around but the concept is almost romantic.
Gretzky, MacT, Huddy and Buchberger/Moores/Daum/Messier for coaching staff next year.. ha.
True his +/- was horrible and he had a bad year, but Springfield was garbage. Chorney was a -29 and is supposed to be a shutdown d-man. And having watched him excel in junior it's hard to believe he didn't get more than 4 games this year. He would have definitely helped the powerplay and shootout. And there is no doubt he would have been better on the first line than Liam Reddox. It just seems that, like Penner and Nilson, MacT lost his patience and threw him under the bus. Maybe I just have a man crush on Schremp, like MacT does on Reddox, haha. Nonetheless, I just wish we could have seen what him and Hemmer could have done together. After all, he is a first round draft pick.
This is the Oilers!
Give us an offense-minded coach or give us death - 'cause I can't watch another season of this crap!
April 12 2009, 06:59PM
Anyone who has not played for the Oilers or involved in the organization is good enough for me,If they replace Mac T with Buchberger,Huddy or Moores we will be in worse shape than we are know.Their time and Mac T's has experied it is time they all pack it in.

I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Chorney's a puck-moving defenseman; the biggest concern with him is his defensive game.
And having watched him excel in junior it's hard to believe he didn't get more than 4 games this year. He would have definitely helped the powerplay and shootout. And there is no doubt he would have been better on the first line than Liam Reddox.
He didn't even chalk up big points on his AHL powerplay, and I think there are enough shootout specialist already here.
As for the comparison with Reddox, when Schremp can play tough opponents in the AHL, maybe there will be a comparison.
April 12 2009, 07:03PM
@ Darren:
Did you have someone in mind?

The list of excellent junior players who never quite found what it takes to succeed in the pros is pretty long. I want Schremp to succeed, but just where would he have fit in on the roster this year?
I wouldn't mind seeing Renney or Lever get a shot, if MacT really is on the way out. That said, I'm not holding my breath.
If it turns out to be Crawford, no way I'm listening to the post-game press conference. He drives my wife insane too.

@ SkinnyD: Can't agree more. As someone watching from a few kilometers away, it was clear that over the last few years (hereforth shall be refered to the MacT years or the Dark Ages), the team departed from traditional 'Oilers Hockey.' The kind of hockey that is end to end with as many wild F*%K ups as amazing highlight reel goals. Last year when all the king's men fell to injury, MacT had no choice but to go to firewagon hockey because that's all he could do with the horses he had. This year - back to the systems based crap designed on a 'prevent defence' strategy. Ask yourself - which was more fun to watch?
I actually think that the MacT system did more to screw up the games of Penner, Nilson, Horcoff, Moreau, Staois et al than the collective work ethic/bad contracts/baby fat yadayadayada did. In the few games these guys were allowed to skate freely, not only was it exciting, but they were in the games to the bitter end (e.g. Sharks last week). More important, the players looked like they even enjoyed the game.
The message from Hemsky of a couple of weeks ago should be speaking volumes. Not so as to place Hemsky in the 'oh gawd, don't piss him off' column, but more along of 'hmmmm - seems to fit with what we've been seeing on the ice' category. Tight and stifling and boring!
Should there actually be the wide-scale changes that everyone is forecasting, it would be great for the team to decide what style of play they want before they choose the coach. Renney will bring nothing more than the same. Lemaire? Let's hope not. Even when you win you have to be able to look yourself in the face. My knowledge of the wide world of coaching candidates is pretty thin, but if I were involved I'd be looking for some that:
- likes a free flowing game - likes talented players over 'tries hard and doesn't screw up (too much)players (sorry Reddox, Peterson, and everyone else that ever wanted to wear #14) - believes that teams that are first to the puck win more than those that wait for the puck to come to them - and believes that Oilers Hockey is a style worth playing, even if it means the occassional crap the bed night is in your future
BRING BACK OILERS HOCKEY. LET MY Oilers GO!
The next coach once MacT gets a promotion would be and should be Kevin Lowe. It would appear that Kevin signed most of these players so lets see what he can do with them. Any real man that signed these players should take control of the direct result and get behind the bench. Then, either no success or success after MacT and keep most of the same players as we can't move much due to salary cap and bad contracts. If Kevin is successful then we know he is a great man, if he fails, bye bye KLOWE

I like to watch winning hockey as well. However, I cannot handle strickly defence first waiting for the other team to make a mistake hockey. I go watch a about 5-7 live games a year and I cannot stand a boring game. Expansion teams are gone now. I prefer a high intensity forecheck. I am not saying firewagon hockey. Just puck possetion and forechecking.
This isn't just Lowe's fault. MacT's more at fault. MacT has a final say on who he wants as players. He was part of the OS to both Vanek and Penner. He wanted Penner and now he throws him under the bus. MacT almost resigned unless he got more input on who he wants as players. I wonder if MacT is upset at Lowe because he didn't sign him Reasoner.
April 12 2009, 09:58PM
@ Jasmine:
If MacT really has that much say, why didn't Reasoner get resigned?
April 12 2009, 11:37PM
Did anybody read the article in the Calgary Sun last week saying the Flames would go after Brent Sutter if they lose in the first round? makes sense that he would go there first as his brother is the GM and it is just as close to Red Deer as Edmonton is. That being said, he would be my first pick. How about Brian Sutter? Looks like the Bentley Generals are going for the Allan cup again...
How long is Hitchcock locked in for in Columbus? I think he would really kick this team in the ass and have a system that has proven to win more than once.
Anyone give any thought to the idea of Sather coming back to be GM? I think he was pushed out by the group of 47 and Katz could get him back here if he tried...

Yeah, maybe he could bring in Wade Redden and Chris Drury and Scott Gomez for outrageous sums of money....
Wait, we don't want that?
Carry on then.
Here's my list in no particular order:
Scott Arniel Peter Laviolette Don Lever Paul MacLean Marc Crawford Randy Cunneyworth Willie Desjardins Kevin Dineen Marc Habscheid Dale Hunter Don Hay Pat Quinn Perry Pearn
Tom Renney - IS TOO MUCH LIKE MACT
Brent Sutter - WILL BE IN CALGARY IF ANYWHERE

Comments: Great little jig. Bass seem to love it too. I've caught a bunch on the mizzou color down around Tampa / Central Florida, and I'm on TW to order a few more as the one I have tied on is pretty beat up now after one too many fish chewed on it. When they are really biting these, I'm getting bites before the jig even hits bottom. Falls at a nice pace with a Missile D-Bomb trailer (Sprayed grass). Good stuff.

Comments: This is one of the best football jigs I've ever fished, and will catch fish when the bite is tough...it drags across the bottom very easily too for a football jig.

Dear Editor,
This could be very fun, however, I can't get this newspaper to print what I write. They would prefer a watered down version that does absolutely nothing but take up space on the page. I guess in light of that I am finished trying to combat the vindictiveness of your writings. Too bad really.
Oh, by the way, I mentioned nothing about Rush Limbaugh in my last letter but thank you for reminding us that he is a Republican radical as well as Mr. Hannity.
You know, we have many democrats in this county just like Sheriff Guymon. You ought to give them a try.

Hudson Valley Hospital Center Employee Raises Money for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
Daughter of Lymphoma survivor at Hudson Valley Hospital Center is training for Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco on Oct. 16.
"Every time I'd come home from school, you could see how much sicker she was,'' said Luz Fernanda, who is named after her mother. "It was very hard, but now she is going into her fourth year in remission and I think she's in the best shape she has ever been.''
A marketing assistant at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, Luz Fernanda, now 22, said that she wants to give back to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for helping her mom and family over a rough patch.
Luz Fernanda, who was a sprinter on the track team at Walter Panas High School, said she's not accustomed to running long distances, but has been training with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society once a week and runs on her own in the mornings or evenings at least three times a week. She's now up to mile 6.
Before she can get to San Francisco to run the grueling 26-mile Nike Women's Marathon on October 16, Luz has another hurdle to overcome: raising the money. She's hoping that Christmas in July will land her in San Francisco in the fall. To raise money for the research and the pay for the trip, Luz will be holding "Jingle Bell July," a Christmas-themed fund raising event complete with Christmas tree and mistletoe. The event, hosted by The Division Street Grill in Peekskill, will take place on Tuesday, July 12, from 6 PM to 9 PM. She hopes to raise $3,200. Most of it will go to fund cancer research.
The elder Luz, who works in the radiology department at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, said that this is her daughter's way of showing support.
"From the first time she heard about this (race) she was very excited,'' said Luz Maria Corona. "Because she was so far away in school she couldn't be there when I was in treatment so I think this is her way of paying it back. I'm very proud of her.''
Hudson Valley Hospital President John Federspiel said that the Corona family's battle with lymphoma became a hospital-wide cause after Luz Maria was diagnosed. The entire Corona family works at the Hospital including Luz Maria, her husband Roberto and the two children Luz and her younger sister Cynthia.
"The Corona family is part of our family here at Hudson Valley Hospital Center and we have all been very supportive of their efforts,'' said Federspiel. "We encourage our employees to become involved in the community and we are very proud of Luz.''
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training has trained nearly half a million runners, walkers, triathletes, cyclists and hikers and has raised over $1 billion to fund cancer research. Over the course of 4-5 months, certified coaches organize weekly group runs to prepare competitors for the event. Each participant is also assigned a mentor to offer assistance in fundraising.

More detail here on Herbalife's (HLF) latest setback — which the embattled health-products company this morning appears to suggest is just very bad luck.
With the stock halted all morning, the company says in a press release around 11 a.m. that auditor KPMG LLC resigned "solely" due to the "impairment" of the auditing firm's independence, the cause of which is alleged insider trading by the KPMG partner — now an ex-partner — in charge of Herbalife's audit.
It all went down fast, according to Herbalife — the company says the partner was removed from the case on Friday.
Herbalife says there was no disagreement with KPMG over accounting or any adverse opinions or disclaimers. But, owing to today's allegations, KPMG still has to withdraw the last three years' audit reports. That, then, would be the very bad luck.
We'll see what the market thinks about it when Herbalife's stock reopens from the halt — which has been going on all session.
Here's the statement:
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) today announced that KPMG LLP notified Herbalife on April 8, 2013 that KPMG was resigning, effective immediately, as Herbalife's independent accountant. KPMG stated it had concluded it was not independent because of alleged insider trading in Herbalife's securities by one of KPMG's former partners who, until April 5, 2013, was the KPMG engagement partner on Herbalife's audit. KPMG advised the Company it resigned as Herbalife's independent accountant solely due to the impairment of KPMG's independence resulting from its now former partner's alleged unlawful activities and not for any reason related to Herbalife's financial statements, its accounting practices, the integrity of Herbalife's management or for any other reason.
None of KPMG's audit reports on Herbalife's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 or KPMG's audit reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was any such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In addition, at no point during the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and the subsequent interim period through April 8, 2013 were there any (1) disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports, or (2) "reportable events" as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Why you are going to love my class
In my class, we read amazing books and talk about them for 75 minutes. You can't beat that. People all over this country are starting book clubs. They want to reach new understanding through the discussion of literature and that's what we do together every day as a class.
Great things for you at UDM
College is a unique time in which you can surround yourself with intelligent, interesting people and spend all day talking about books and issues and ideas that matter to you. In English classes you will be introduced to great literature you might not otherwise have discovered. I will challenge you to push your own ideas as far as they will go.
One distinction about UDM
One unique thing about UDM is its commitment in helping students to become better citizens — more ethically engaged — in our society and our community. What we read is essential to who we are and how we engage with the world around us.
My favorite part of teaching you is
The new perspective you bring to texts I have read many times before.
I may change your mind
I may change your mind about poetry. Not all my students end up reading poetry for fun, but by the end of the semester, I guarantee you will have found poems that express something in your own life or help you understand a perspective or person you didn't understand before.

Comments: Awesome bait. Also love the Baby Hoodaddy! You can catch everything on it.
From: Rob: IN
Comments: Great! I was introduced to these by a guide on McGee creek Lake. Colors: Black/blu, dark watermelon candy, greenpmkn candy. Really works!
From: Ray: Tulsa, OK
Comments: I agree with Harold. This is one of the best creature baits on the market. The ribbed body is the real secret here. Rig it just like Harold said and it is weedless but provides the best hook up ratio of any creature bait.
From: Trevor: Magnolia, DE
Comments: This creature has been a guide secret in our state for quiet a while. I've used this bait for two years now with good success. When T-rigging I don't embed the hook into the body, but rather push the hook point through the ribs and it becomes ultra weedless without compromising hookset. Although it's not needed, apply your favorite attractant and get ready for those hawgs to slam it.

GDB VI: This time *we* have Bulin...
Jason Gregor
October 14 2009 09:26AM
Last year the Oilers rolled into the Windy City feeling pretty good about themselves toting a perfect 4-0 record. Dwayne Roloson got his first start of the season that night, which was also a Wednesday, but Nikolai Khabibulin was the star earning a 3-0 win.
Fast forward to tonight.
The Oilers are back in Chicago, sporting a nice 3-1-1 record. And like last year, they have three wins in games where they were out shot.
But there are some distinct differences to last year.
This time Khabibulin is on their team. The Oilers have 19 goals, with eleven different forwards having at least one. Last year it took them nine games to get 20 goals, and only eight forwards scored in the first ten games.
Three players, Dustin Penner, Denis Grebeshkov (how's that goat pick going Wanye?) and Mike Comrie are averaging a point a game. In fact, the only skaters who don't have a point yet are Sheldon Souray and Steve Staios.
The Oilers are getting balanced scoring from all four lines.
- Hemsky, Horcoff and Jacques have combined for three goals and eight points.
- Gagner, O'Sullivan and Stone have three goals and eight points.
- Brule, Penner and Comrie have six goals and 14 points.
- Moreau, Cogliano and Stortini have tallied four goals and seven points.
- Hell, even the blueliners are chipping in.
In 2007/08 Grebeshkov had a measly 34 shots in 71 games. Last year he fired 62 shots in 72 games, but he already has nine shots in five games this season.
Two years ago Ladislav Smid had four assists in 65, while last year he registered eleven apples in 60 games, but this year he is on fire with three assists in five games. The problem for Smid is he doesn't have a shot on goal yet, and his goalless streak is at 130 games.
His last goal came in the final game of the 2006/07, season when he scored in Calgary. Smid hasn't scored since Gagner was drafted.
Even Jason Strudwick is on a scoring binge, having two points in three games, although maybe we shouldn't be that surprised considering he set a career high with nine points last season.
But the two biggest differences I've seen so far is their willingness to play physical, and that they've been ready from the drop of the puck.
The Oilers haven't been dominated early in game so far. They've outscored their opponents 9-3 in the first period so far. Getting behind early, or getting dominated territorially were chronic problems last year, and so far they've managed to avoid that.
Their inability to close out games has been an issue, and one they will need to rectify, but it they can continually get out to good starts, then they'll have the chance to work on protecting the lead or at least finishing strong.
In their first five games last year the Oilers had 87 hits, and so far this year they have 107. Jacques (21), Stone (17) and Brule (14) and Stortini (10) have combined for 62, and it isn't surprising to see all of them on a different line. The first three weren't here last year, and you can't underestimate their value in making this Oiler team more physical.
Last season the Oilers could go half a period without a hit, or any energy that could possibly reverse the momentum in their favour. This year, that hasn't been the case, and if they keep playing physical it shouldn't change. None of the other forwards are hitting more than before, it's just that the three new forwards are hitting and are making an impact every game.
Game notes
- It's true that Moreau plays well v. Chicago with 10 goals and 18 points in 28 career games, but they are his second favourite team to play. In 44 career games against Phoenix he has 17 goals.
- Penner loves playing the Hawks more. He has eight goals in 14 games, the most goals against any NHL team.
- O'Sullivan has lit the lamp six times in 12 career games against the Blackhawks. The only team O'Sullivan feasted on more was the Oilers, with six goals and nine points in nine career games.
- Khabibulin also thrives against the Hawks, with a record of 12-6-1, a 2.16 GAA, .929 S% and three shutouts. The only team he has shut out more is the Kings.
- The Hawks have 18 goals through five games with Patrick Sharp 4-3-7, Patrick Kane 3-4-7, Kris Versteeg 1-5-6 and Brent Seabrook 1-4-5 leading the way.
- Jonathon Toews only has one assist thus far, while free agent signing Tomas Kopecky has zero points and is -4 with the Hawks.
- Like the Oilers the Hawks have four guys with double digits in hits: Seabrook (16), Troy Brouwer (15), Dustin Byfuglien (15) and John Madden with 12.
- The Hawks are great in the draw. Toews is 60%, Dave Bolland 56.4%, John Madden 55.4% and Colin Fraser 53.3%.
- Horcoff is 56.9% in the draws, while Brule is 46.5%, Cogliano 43.8% and Gagner 39.5%.
- As a team the Oilers are 50.6% overall, which puts them 12th in the NHL. The Hawks are 3rd best in the dot winning 56.4% of their faceoffs. The Oilers will need to bear down tonight.
October 14 2009, 09:33AM
gogo gadget oilers, 3-1 with a goalie fight
i wonder what Comrie's percentage is in the dot? I think it may be the best on the Team...even though he doesn't get slotted in as a C-man right now. A weird quirk but as long as the team wins who cares.
October 14 2009, 09:38AM

October 14 2009, 09:42AM
I like how we are getting scoring from all over, it makes it tougher for the oppostion to pin point one line with their checking line. Those game notes are interesting, but at the sametime Bulin had Calgary's number too.
This will be a good matchup for us. It will show us where we stand against one of the top teams in the West. Curious to see how our PK and Faceoffs do against Chicago. Not sure what Chicago's PP is at, but they have plenty of talent to move that puck on the PP.
yep...even better % than the Hawks players....less draws taken by the Commie tho...
October 14 2009, 09:46AM
Should be a good test to see how bad the loses of Staios/Souray are going to hurt.
October 14 2009, 09:48AM
yep...even better % than the Hawks players....less draws taken by the Commie tho...
I just don't understand though when Gagner and Brule were both less then 40% the other day why you wouldn't let Comrie take a few draws. I just wonder if Flemming has told Quinn to let the younger guys work through their problems.
Should be a great test tonight for the oil. Hawks manned up coming from behind & beating the flames the other night. Both teams are physical & skilled - should be an entertaining game. Not to mention a confidence builder if we can outplay & outscore the hawks.
@Ogden Brother Jr. - Team Strudwick for coach
yeah i hear you...at least to keep Comrie sharp in the draw as a backup and to give the other guys struggling to win draws a bird's eye view on how it's done. I at least like the fact that Comrie is a good backup plan if he is out there and another guy gets waived from the circle. Still tho..
F sakes! I've been dealing with my bank (CIBC) on changing my variable mortgage to a closed and my banker and a realtor buddy of mine last week were all saying no worry's on interest rates...they won;t be going up until 2010. Well guess what happened to rates today? Scotio, RBC, CIBC and most of the otehrs have all raised their mortgage rates in the last week or last few days. Question to you all...does anyone deal with Presidents Choice Financial and or Dominion Lending for mortgages? They have good rates still but they are not brick and mortar banks like CIBC and the others. Any input or experiences are welcomed...thanks.
October 14 2009, 10:04AM
Oilers: 4 - Hemsky, Horcoff, Comrie, Lubo
Hawks: 2 - Toews, Sharp
October 14 2009, 10:07AM
Dealt with PC Financial for over a decade and their rates and customer service are excellent. Very pleased with them.
They have an arrangement with CIBC for use of their bank machines and tellers.
This is going to be a tough task for the Oil tonight, but I think Bulin will have his best game of the year against the old team.
4-2 Oil
Penner, O'sully, Jacques, and Gilbert.
Its gotta be time for Hemsky and Horcoff to score some goals after that nice goal last game right? Hemsky 2 Horc 1 Penner 1?
thanks skidplate...this is the type of opinion I am looking for. I like the CIBC tie in as well.
October 14 2009, 10:26AM
Oilers will 4-3 in regulation. Stortini will not score tonight but will get into 1 fight and have 5 hits in his first shift. Gilbert will be a minus 3 tonight. That is all.
It feels like if Oilers are going to win tonight its going to be in OT/SO
Oilers win 4-3 in regulation. Hopefully anyways..
October 14 2009, 10:39AM
Taking a look at the NHL faceoff stats and it just makes me wonder why we never signed someone to help out in that area. There are about half a dozen guys that were UFA's that are in the top 20. Reasoner #2, Brodziak(60.7%) 11th, at least Horcoff is up there at 25th
I don't want to know how we'll do without Souray. Srsly, no thanks.
I do think we'll play well tonight.
October 14 2009, 10:49AM
Is Comrie's FO% so high though because he's taking draws when both centers get thrown out?
I use PC and have had no issues.
October 14 2009, 10:54AM
Is Comrie's FO% so high though because he's taking draws when both centers get thrown out?
I don't recall seeing two both centers thrown out this year. Generally it is just the one.
October 14 2009, 11:01AM
I just don't understand though when Gagner and Brule were both less then 40% the other day why you wouldn't let Comrie take a few draws. I just wonder if Flemming has told Quinn to let the younger guys work through their problems.
Pat Quinn, quoted here on October 11:
"Our down low coverage depends a lot on your third man back in, which traditionally is your centreman. We were losing a lot, we weren't strong enough around the net area. Part of that is your third, your centreman in a lot of cases. I thought I'd move Mike [Comrie] out to the wing, which is where he believes he signed to play."
I was somewhat surprised that nobody else seemed to pick up on Quinn's shot at Comrie (and his reduction of ice-time, which I also pointed out). The reasons he doesn't get more time at centre seem clear:
1. Comrie isn't good enough defensively to be the high forward.
2. Comrie wants to play on the wing.
October 14 2009, 11:03AM
@Jason Gregor
Still, this team hasn't got past the 'Shawn Horcoff needs to take every faceoff because only he can win them' problem that they had last year, right?
thanks for your comment Ronaldo.
So is "suitcase" still with the team in edmonton or is he roaming around the organization?
October 14 2009, 11:37AM
@Ogden Brother
You're right, we will see the effects of not having Sheldon Souray in the lineup. Yep, we sure could use Souray back. Souray's contributions will surely be noticeably missed.
GREGGOR SAID - "The Oilers haven't been dominated early in game so far. They've outscored their opponents 9-3 in the first period so far. Getting behind early, or getting dominated territorially were chronic problems last year, and so far they've managed to avoid that."
But Greggor, don't you think that Montreal game they were back on their heals at the start! Credit to the Habs, they came out forechecking and striking, and credit to the Oil, that they took advantage of the Canadiens deep attack with some counter rushes, BUT I don't think they came out so strong in that one. Not exactly flat as last year (to your point) but frightningly close to it!
Is this a good time to mention that Reasoner is 2nd in the league in face off wins, at 68%? I wasn't exactly a Reasoner fan when he was here; everybody hates the teacher's pet, but damn if hindsight isn't painful this time.
~You mean . . . MacT may have actually had one idea that was right at some point? Who'dve thunk it?~
I miss Marty.
I still don't understand why Cogs is playing on the fourth line with Chopper and Storts (Aside: man, the Huggy-Bear thing is hard to let go of, even though it doesn't fit as well anymore; we gotta get the guy something better than 'Storts'.) Putting the fastest guy on the team with your two slowest wingers; does that make sense? And he's not exactly your prototype 'goon-line' player at 5'10" 184lb. I get that Brule's not any bigger and that the Oil are not exactly flush with large, physical centers (if only someone had recognized a need for that in the off-season . . . hmmmmm . . .) so someone is going to get stuck centering that line. I just don't see that Cogs is the guy the gets saddled with it. I mean, if he can score points with those two guys, imagine what he could do with MC and PDP.
October 14 2009, 12:00PM
Not sure what stats you are looking at, but out of guys who have taken 75 draws Horcoff is eighth in the league. He has also taken the 3rd most draws.
The team is 12th in the league in faceoffs, so they aren't bad. Which was my point.
I just went to NHL.coms faceoff leaders. They included guys with 25+, so I decided that is what I would use. Why you used 75 is beyond me,there are only 39 guys with 75+.
October 14 2009, 12:07PM
Agreed, but getting a faceoff specialist, who isn't better in other areas doesn't make sense.
People forget that Horcoff wasn't dominant his first few years in the league. They have to work with the three young guys. Gagner was a woeful 22% after three games, so he is improving.
If they are 50% as a team and in the top half, then it isn't that big of an issue, other than Horcoff taking too many of them.
The hope is that the three kids improve enough that Horcoff isn't saddled with 75% of the draws.
The one difference is that even though Horcoff is taking most of the draws, he isn't playing 23 minutes a night. He is only averaging 20:26 a game, and that is much more manageable.
I agree being over 50 is no need to be concerned, but your last half of your statement is the exact samething we heard last year. There were qutie a few faceoff/specialist that could've helped out elsewhere.
October 14 2009, 12:16PM
I still don't understand why Cogs is playing on the fourth line with Chopper and Storts
I think it is more of a matter of spreading out the offensive ability of the team so that every line has a goal scorer and every line has a gritty player. I don't think we can consider this a fourth line in the traditional sense of the word. If you put Brule down there then you WOULD have that traditional 4th line.
I agree with you though, i would prefer to see him with some people that can keep up... Cogliano with Comrie and O'Sullivan is a combination that makes me happy.
October 14 2009, 12:16PM
You're right, we will see the effects of not having Sheldon Souray in the lineup. Yep, we sure could use Souray back. Souray's contributions will surely be noticeably missed.
Wait until Chorney gets exposed, you'll be wishing for Staios.
October 14 2009, 12:25PM
Unrealted topic, but what is the talk of Gilbert for Stafford? We would have to swap a prospect for Tallinder in the deal as well? Is there any legs to this?
October 14 2009, 12:27PM
@Jason Gregor
I agree. I don't care how good Yanic Perreault is on the draw, he doesn't help this team.
I was thinking more someone from the Gratton/Malhotra/Fiddler tree though; they could have helped in other areas as well.
I agree that the young players (esp. Gagner, since he's got to be pencilled in at centre long-term) need to work on draws, but I'd feel more comfortable if this team had a second option.
Although perhaps that's unfair; Pouliot's injured and IIRC he's a decent faceoff option if not especially brilliant on the draw.
October 14 2009, 12:36PM
@Jonathan Willis
I missed the weekend so I might of missed Quinn's comments on Comrie. I was wondering why the switch, but I guess it makes sense. How hard would it be for Comrie to take the draws and then switch to wing?
October 14 2009, 01:13PM
According to a Blackhawk blog site, the Oilers will see Anti Neime (or something like that) instead of Huet in goal tonight.
October 14 2009, 01:21PM
I use 75 because those are the guys who take lots of draws.
And once again, you didn't answer the question. Do you want a guy who can take a draw and adds nothing more?
I sure as hell don't.
Are the Oilers losing games because of faceoffs? No.
Is Quinn burning out Horcoff with 23 minutes of icetime due to all of his faceoffs? No.
So what is the problem.
It MIGHT become a problem, and yes there are other guys in the league with higher percentages, than the three kids. But would they make the Oilers better? Sorry boys, but if you add Reasoner who do you take out of the line up?
Faceoffs are a small part of the equation, and since the Oilers are much better at puck retrieval so far, if they loss a few draws they can actually go get the puck back, unlike last year, so the faceoffs aren't as glaring right now.
If nothing improves come Jan and Feb, then I wouldn't be surprised if they add a veteran guy then. No need to now. Let the kids work on it and improve.
By using 75 you are including only #1 centers and some #2, that is something that we don't need. We needed a #3/#4. I agree that I wanted a guy who can play more then just faceoffs, but isn't Malhotra, Reasoner, Nichol, Goc, Fiddler all players that could help this team out on the PK and in a shutdown role?
As for who do you take out, maybe you don't add Comrie?
I agree faceoffs are a small part and so far it hasn't really hurt us, but I've seen this before and I don't want to go through it again.
After x-mas would be a good time to look at this area again. Heck Cogliano had some really decent pre-season games so maybe he continues to do well. I'm also not looking for us to have everyone at 55-60, I would actually be happy if Horcoff stayed where he was and the others averaged around 45% with one of them close to 50.
October 14 2009, 01:23PM
According to a Blackhawk blog site, the Oilers will see Anti Neime (or something like that) instead of Huet in goal tonight.
He has one shutout already so I think we need to keep the pressure on him early and break him down as quick as possible.
Twice they have been able to beat all others for me. Great to deal with, very knowledgeable.
October 14 2009, 01:35PM
@Mad Mike
Ya, Huet is sucking the hind teet.
0.831 save percentage and 3.69 GAA
Aunty Niemi came over to the AHL as a 24 year old and has only 38 games there and 5 in the show.
October 14 2009, 01:38PM
It's been a pretty good week for Oiler fans so far, Flames now have their very own "Miracle on Madison" permanently etched in their brains to go with two blown leads/losses. Weeks like these make the winter seem more tolerable.
October 14 2009, 02:02PM
@quicksilver ballet
Definitely. I was thinking the same thing the other night. Only our game was more important as it was a playoff game. Man that series sucked.

Blogging for Charity
April 12 2011 11:06AM
Ryan Lambert and I like to stir the pot in the hockey blogosphere. From his work at Puck Daddy to my tribute to the Washington Capitals we've won our fair share of critics (mostly in the "they hate us" sense and not the "objective analysis of humor").
Unfortunately for us we cheer for two teams that aren't going to the big dance this season and so we're left with nothing to do but twiddle our thumbs. Luckily for everyone we came up with an idea that would allow us to write material: we'll blog for the highest bidder and donate the proceeds to Right to Play.
What will the high bidder get? They'll get Ryan Lambert and I posting on their blog, riling up opposing fanbases and generally being too cool for school. They'll also get some guest blogs from writers like Down Goes Brown (National Post), JT Bourne (Puck Daddy, USA Today) and The Goalie Guild.
Here's the link to our eBay auction where you can see that 100% of your bid will go to charity: Hockey Bloggers For Rent. Spend a lot of money on us and we'll make you almost as happy as the disadvantaged kids we're all helping.
Reminder: if you bid and lose please consider donating to charity anyways. Let's help some people out while we have our fun.

This course was great. I am a high school coach and I learned a lot of useful tips that I will use in the future. It would be an excellent course for anyone in the business field as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor was very insightful and always responded to everyone's posts in the discussion area. This was my first online class and I will definitely sign up for more.
I enjoyed this course. It provided relevant information personally and for my work in a position of leadership. I have used much of the information already. Thank You.
I really enjoyed the course and wish that I would have had time to spend in the discussion area. It was obvious that the instructor's knowledge of leadership could help anyone to hone their leadership skills.
It was a great course. I gained a lot of insight about Leadership. Thank you.
This was my first time taking an online class. The online format and class instruction were excellent. I will definitely recommend it to others. The instructor did a very good job. I am looking forward to taking another online class.
I've enjoyed my first on line class. I fell behind after having the flu but loved the way I would move at my own pace. The instructor was interesting and knowledgeable. Her replies where insightful and helpful along with being to the point.
Extremely happy with the course. Perfect for what I was looking for. I really enjoyed it!!!!
Thank you for a thought-provoking course and many valuable resources to help me continue my pursuit of leadership skills and insights.
Your class offered real tools to improve my leadership abilities and I started to use them right after the very first lesson. It made me think about leadership in a whole new light. Generally I find myself in leadership roles when no one else will step up and take the role. I do not seek these roles, but armed with some of your tools, that will most likely change. The class was well worth my time and I am using what I learned every day in the real world, both in professional and personal situations, even parenting. I greatly appreciated the class and I would recommend it to anyone.
"This has been a great course! Thank you so much for your insight and inspiration! I have learned many new strategies and have also recognized my own strengths and talents. I thank you very much for sharing your gift of leadership with us!"

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Scout leaders from the Buckhorn District came together at the Orangeville church for their annual awards banquet recently. District chairman Scott Jewkes welcomed everyone and introduced Bart Cox who took the lead in the opening skit.
This skit was an auction for an ordinary boy. The boy's value was listed near $3 in mineral value. During the auction, several different groups including crime, business/industry, gambling/corruption, education, war, pleasure, and religion, made bids for the boy. The bidding got up to $450,000. Cox divided the groups into those of good and those of bad. They then combined their bidding to come up with one bid each. The group of bad things could not agree on a price because each one wanted to be in control. The group of good things valued the boy at $1 million and entered their bid.
When good was awarded the boy, they turned him over to the scouting program to raise him and teach him valuable life lessons. The skit was a demonstration of how much more valuable a boy's life can be if he is taught wholesome things.
Jack Dillon, a district executive, said, "This skit represents the true value of the boys in our charge." Dillon also noted he was glad to be in attendance at the banquet to stand in for the district executive who could not be there due to weather conditions. He led the group in the scout oath, and then read a moving poem entitled "What Do Boy Scouts Do?"
Dillon said the scouting program turned 100 years old in February. "Scouting has touched the lives of millions of boys over those years," he said.
Brinler Tanner, an Orangeville Scout, then administered the oath of office to the Buckhorn District Committee members in attendance. Those members are: Scott Jewkes, Jack Dillon, Jerel Lofley, Don Gordon, Garth Johnson, Steve Kemple, Gary Arrington, Jerry Jones, Beth Marshall, Melissa Esplin, Robyn Snow, Larry Heaton, Brian Jex, Brent Tuttle, Doug Parrish, Jeff Brower, Phil Ouzts, Jay and Trudie Waddoups, Pauline Sitterud, Roseanne Dawes, Valerie Winn, Jeff Curtis, James Winn, Marty Mason, Don Larsen, Courtney Cox, Paul Pulli, Hugh Christiansen, Danna Gray, Bart Cox, Tom Grant, and Clint Olsen.
Lofely administered the oath of office to Roseanne Dawes who was selected to be the Buckhorn District Unit Commissioner.
Jewkes, Lofley, and Dillon awarded the district awards. Cathy Cowley, Courtnee Justice and David Emery were given the training awards.
Swell awards were awarded to Nancy Jorgensen, Joleen Huntington, Valerie Winn, Dave Emery, Jeanie Olsen, Lee Moss, Kip Leavitt, Kent Keele, Dana Olsen, Robyn Snow, Jerilyn Mathis, Clint Olsen, Melody Conover, Nikki Withers, Royce Stilson, Lynnette and Jerry Withers, Jim Pyper, and Jay Mark Humphrey.
Second Miler awards went to Jeff Brower, Stanley Martineau, Robert Blackburn, Nancy Orgill, Cathy Cowley, and Paul Cowley.
Jay Waddoups, Trudie Waddoups, Geoff Madsen, and Brian Dawes were given the District Awards of Merit.
Lofley announced the Centennial Quality Unit awards. Ferron Stake, Pack 307 and Troop 307; Huntington Stake, Pack 301-Elmo, Pack 302-Cleveland First, Pack 385-Cleveland Second, Pack 395-Huntington Fifth, Pack 903-Huntington Third, Troop 302-Elmo, Troop 304-Huntington First, Troop 385-Cleveland Second, Troop 394-Huntington Fourth, Troop 395-Huntington Fifth, Team 301-Elmo, Team 394-Huntington Fourth; and Castle Dale Stake, Pack 300-Orangeville Third, Pack 305-Orangeville First, Pack 306-Castle Dale First, Pack 328-Castle Dale Second, and Pack 904-Orangeville Second, were given these awards.
At the conclusion of the program, Jewkes and Dillon thanked everyone for their dedication to the boys of Buckhorn District.

Xbox One Teardown - Microsoft still hates you
Subject: General Tech, Systems | November 23, 2013 - 01:02 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, teardown, xbox one, APU, amd, xbox, xb1
Last week we brought a teardown of the new Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) console and this week we do the same for Microsoft's new Xbox One console.
In this video, which is a recording of our live stream that started last night at 12:30am EST, you'll see us unbox the Xbox One, turn it on, play with the new Kinect, take it apart and put it back together. And this time we didn't even break anything - though removing the plastic clips on the Xbox One are particularly more annoying and time consuming than the screws on the PS4.
Though they are out of stock, Amazon.com appears to be getting additional Xbox One consoles in stock pretty regularly, so keep an eye out.

Tagged: video, teardown, ps4, playstation 4, APU, amd
Last night Ken and I headed over the local Best Buy to pick up my preorder of the new Playstation 4. What would any hardware geek immediately do with this hardware? Obviously we take a screwdriver to it and take it apart.
In this video, which is a recording of our live stream that started last night at 12:30am EST, you'll see us unbox the PS4, turn it on, take it apart and put it back together. And I only had to fix one piece with gaffers tape, so there's that.
(We'll have a collection of high-resolution photos later today as well.)
Though they are out of stock, Amazon.com appears to be getting more PS4s in stock pretty regularly, so keep an eye out if you are interested in picking one up still.
Happy Friday!
We go inside the Wii U
Last night after the midnight release of the new Nintendo Wii U gaming console, we did what any self respecting hardware fan would do: we tore it apart. That's right, while live on our PC Perspective Live! page, we opened up a pair of Wii U consoles, played a couple of games on the Deluxe while we took a tri-wing screwdriver to the second. Inside we found some interesting hardware (and a lot more screws) and at the conclusion of the 5+ hour marathon, we had a reassembled system with only a handful of leftover screws!
If you missed the show last night we have archived the entire video on our YouTube channel (embedded below) as well as the photos we took during the event in their full resolution glory. There isn't much to discuss about the teardown other than what we said in the video but I am going to leave a few comments after each set of four images.
OH! And if you missed the live event and want to be apart of another one, we are going to be holding a Hitman: Absolution Game Stream on our Live Page sponsored by AMD with giveaways like Radeon graphics cards and LOTS of game keys! Stop by again and see us on http://pcper.com/live on Tuesday the 20th at 8pm ET.
During the stream we promised photos of everything we did while taking it apart, so here you go! Click to get the full size image!
Getting inside the Wii U was surprisingly easy as the white squares over the screws were simply stickers and we didn't have to worry about any clips breaking, etc. The inside is dominated by the optical drive provided by Panasonic.

* These totals include a subset of Cord Blood, Nonmyeloablative, and Haploidentical totals listed below.
This guide will help you understand how to read the transplant program reports in the Transplant Center Directory. All information provided in these reports is obtained directly from the transplant center. We make every effort to keep the information up to date but changes can occur. Consult directly with each transplant center for the most current information about their program.
Type of Transplant Unit
If the transplant center treats only adult patients, the word "Adult" will appear in this section. If only pediatric patients are accepted for treatment, the word "Pediatric" will appear. If the center treats both pediatric and adult patients, but at separate facilities, the words "Both Adult/Ped" will appear. If both pediatric and adult patients are treated at the same facility and by the same medical personnel, the words "Adult/Ped Combined" will appear.
NMDP Center
NMDP stands for National Marrow Donor Program, the organization that provides bone marrow, stem cell and cord blood donors for patients. A "Y" in this space means that NMDP will provide unrelated donors to patients treated at this center. An "N" or blank space means it will not.
FACT Approved
FACT stands for the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy. This group establishes standards for the collection, storage and transplantation of bone marrow, stem cells and cord blood. A "Y" after FACT approved means the center has been certified as a quality transplant center.
An "N" or blank space after FACT approved means the center has not yet been rapproved by FACT. This may be because they did not apply for FACT approval, were denied approval or they are currently being reviewed. "P" means the center has filed for FACT approval, and their application is pending. For more information about FACT, visit their website at http://www.factwebsite.org
Age of Program

Number of Transplants Performed
This section provides data about the number and type of transplants the center has performed. in the last few years. These numbers reflect transplants done for ALL diseases, not just your disease. You'll need to consult with the center directly about their experience treating your specific disease. Consult the Department of Health and Human Services' web page for informatio on the number of transplants a center has performed for patients with a specifc disease.
If the center did not provide us with the number of transplants performed in a particular year a zero will appear in the space.
Type of Transplant:
There are several different types of bone marrow or stem cell transplants. "Autologous" means the patient's own stem cells or marrow are used. "Allogeneic" means stem cells and bone marrow are from a donor is used in the transplant. The donor may be related or unrelated. In addition, the donor may be "matched", meaning that his marrow type is nearly identical to the patient's marrow type, or "mis-matched" meaning the marrow types of the patient and donor differ.
This section lists transplants by type of transplant performed. The number of cord blood and nonmyeloablative or reduced intensity transplants are listed separately.
Age Criteria
This section lists the minimum and maximum age of patients the center will accept for treatment. At many centers, the age criteria are flexible. Patients who exceed the maximum age criteria may still be considered if they're as physically fit as a younger person.
Donor Match Criteria
The minimumdonor match criteria required by the center for each type of transplant is presented in this section. At some centers, the match criteria varies according to the disease being treated and the protocol (treatment plan).
This section indicates whether support groups are available for patients and family members during and after treatment.
You may search for centers that transplant patients with a particular disease. Select a disease from the drop down table under "Disease" Leave the field blank if you do not want to narrow your search by disease.
The date last updated is the date on which any of the following elements were changed in our database: Number & Type of Transplants Performed, Diseases Treated, Age & Match Criteria, NMDP Affiliation, and FACT Approval. It is possible that further changes in the transplant program may have occurred since then.

Dear Editor,
As it is of such extreme importance in Utah, I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know that Rep. Richard Pombo, R-California, Chairman of the Resources Committee, has scheduled a June 28 hearing in St. George on the issue of rural roads crossing public lands, otherwise known as the RS-2477 road issue. It will be held at 9 a.m. in the Dixie Center.
Because of the effect these roads in question have on the future of multiple use in Emery County, I am sure that our County Commissioners (the only representatives we have to fight for our rights) will be attending this hearing.
The Sunday, June 20, 2004 Salt Lake Tribune, has a good article written by Bill Howell who is director of the Southeast Association of Local Governments based in Price that addresses the RS-2477 road issue. His assessments of the situation and the points he covers are very enlightening. Mr. Howell will be testifying at the hearing.

President's Message:
My name is Jack Schneider and I am the President of Certified Benz and Beemer, which is a family owned business. On a daily basis, I hand pick each vehicle from sources all around the Southwest. In my experience, I have found that Southwest vehicles are the most desirable due to the dry climate. I have relationships with many new car dealerships that allow us to purchase well-maintained trade-ins in comparison to other used car dealers who purchase their vehicles at auction. We always obtain a Car Fax for each vehicle we sell and they confirm that over one-half of the vehicles we sell are Car Fax 1 owner.
Once these vehicles arrive at our dealership, we perform a thorough inspection, unlike any other dealer. This inspection process makes our certification program one of the most comprehensive in the industry. This is very different from many other used car dealers who do not thoroughly inspect and rarely certify their vehicles. Only after our vehicles are fully reconditioned, then they become available for sale I am confident that you will find our team of professionals trained to assist you in accomplishing your goals with zero pressure. If we don't have the vehicle you want, I will see to it that we attempt to find it for you through our many resources.
Once you have selected and purchased your vehicle, you have a 10 day exchange privilege for your peace of mind. I personally guarantee that our service will provide you a relaxed and comfortable experience whether you purchase a vehicle from us or not.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you about Certified Benz & Beemer and I look forward to meeting you.
Jack Schneider, President

CHICKASHA – The Drover men opened 2011 with their first conference win of the season with a solid 12-point victory over Northwestern Oklahoma State on New Year's Day.
The Drovers started off strong, quickly pulling into the lead against the Rangers. USAO led most of the first half and went into halftime up by just two. After 14 successful field goals in the second half, the Drovers won the game 70-58.
Sophomore Kenneth Durham scored 18 points and had seven rebounds in his first appearance as a Drover. Senior Thomas Peters put another 13 points on the board for USAO.
Senior Sahlih Butts had his seventh double double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
The Drover men are 5-5 and 1-3 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
The Drover women played a tough game against the Lady Rangers earlier Saturday night. The game went down to the last few seconds, but the Rangers came out on top 53-52 in the end.
Senior Aita Gueye held true to her average, putting 16 points on the board for USAO. Maggie Oliver had one of her best games of the season with 11 points — nine of which came from three-pointers.
Korie Hargus was USAO's highest rebounder with seven in the game.
The Drover women are 5-6 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
The Drovers head off to play four away games in a row before returning home Jan. 15 against Oklahoma City. Games tip off at 6 and 8 p.m. It will be Black Out the Stars night in the USAO Fieldhouse, and Drover fans should come donning black attire.

How Can I Improve My Child's Eating Habits?
I want to try to reform my daughter's unhealthy eating habits. But I am worried that by not letting her eat high-calorie, high-fat junk food, I'll be paving the way for her to develop an eating disorder. I want her to be healthy, but I don't want to make her unhappy about herself either. How do I handle this?
- Julie
Balance is the most important thing when developing healthy eating habits. Teach your daughter to eat healthy foods the majority of the time and to save fattening junk foods for occasional treats. These treats should not be completely banned or else they will be even more appealing to your daughter!
Encourage healthy habits by having family meal times, by being a good role model, and by stocking the house with a variety of healthy food options. Encourage three meals a day, with healthy snacks in between. Give your daughter ways to boost her self-confidence, give her lots of compliments, and encourage her to talk to you about any concerns that she may have about her body image.

Recent events in Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula have sparked wild claims in the blogosphere and mainstream media about the revival of the Cold War. Thinly drawn historical analogies are being used by pundits to suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin is initiating an icy, long-term diplomatic standoff with the United States in his aggressive response to the ouster of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. When we began work on our recently published book, The Kitchen Debate and Cold War Consumer Politics: A Brief History with Documents (Bedford/St. Martin's Press), we had little reason to suspect that Cold War history would be so relevant to contemporary policy debates. The U.S. State Department had hit the "reset" button on relations with Russia, and foreign relations with Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, and North Korea seemed more pressing. Our central goal was to provide today's college students—the vast majority of whom were born after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, largely unperturbed by the threat of "mutual assured destruction"—with a lively and thought-provoking introduction to what was at stake in the Cold War. Zooming in on the 1959 "Kitchen Debate" between U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, our collection of primary documents transports students into the heart of the Cold War, shedding light on policymakers' decisions as well as ordinary citizens' responses to events of the era. Pundits seeking to historicize the Ukraine crisis are implying that the Cold War centered on territorial conflicts. We suggest, however, that some of the most important battles of the decades-long standoff centered on an economic question—namely, whether capitalism or socialism could best satisfy citizens' demands for better living standards. With events unfolding in strange and unexpected ways in the Crimean peninsula, it seems more crucial than ever to help college students understand why the Cold War started, why it lasted so long, and how it impacted American political culture and domestic policy. In the Cold War, the two superpowers fought a war that could not be "won" with thermonuclear weapons. We were drawn to the 1959 Kitchen Debate because it was here—at the American National Exhibition in suburban Moscow—that Nixon and Khrushchev spoke plainly and forcefully about the fundamental economic competition then being waged between the two superpowers. Although many Americans credited Nixon with a triumphal victory over Khrushchev amidst the gleaming U.S. kitchen appliances and split-level suburban homes, documents from the 1950s also suggest that Khrushchev's confidence about "burying" the U.S. economically was taken seriously by both sides. The Ukraine crisis seems fundamentally different, for although economic concerns undoubtedly play a key role today, the difference between western capitalism and oligarchic capitalism seems unlikely to spark a half-century of irreconcilable conflict.
