When it comes to making the first overall pick at the NHL Entry Draft in Minnesota June 24-25, Edmonton Oilers chief scout Stu MacGregor said last week that he has his guy. I believe MacGregor's guy is Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Red Deer Rebels.
I don't know that to be the case because, in a series titled "From The Horse's Mouth," MacGregor did not come out and say the Oilers will follow up last June's selection of Taylor Hall by picking Nugent-Hopkins. I haven't polled each and every member of MacGregor's scouting staff and been told he's the guy.
Likewise, neither GM Steve Tambellini nor president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe has slipped me a piece of paper with the name "Nugent-Hopkins" on it. Still, my gut and my ears spell tell me it's the skilled kid who plays just an hour or so down the road, right here in Oil Country.
With Red Deer eliminated from the WHL playoffs since being beaten by Medicine Hat, Nugent-Hopkins won't have the opportunity to further separate himself from the rest of the pack the way Hall did with the Windsor Spitfires a year ago, when he left Tyler Seguin in the dust. Still, what I read between the lines is there's no need. He's the guy.
"With the first pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, the Edmonton Oilers are proud to select, from the Red Deer Rebels, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins . . ."
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
North American Skater
Red Deer, WHL
Final Rank: 1 Midterm Rank: 3
Position: Center Shoots: Left
Height: 6' 0" Weight: 164
Born: April 12, 1993 Hometown: Burnaby, BC
Born in: Burnaby, BC, CAN
NHL Central Scouting's B.J. MacDonald
"(Nugent-Hopkins) has very good puck-handling capabilities. His on-ice awareness is very good. He's one of those guys that knows where everyone is and where they should be and where the puck should go . . . He can dish both right or left, either on his backhand or forehand with that kind of vision. But not just the vision, but the fact he can lay that puck between the skate boot and the skate blade -- that's hard to find."
-- In 2010-11, Nugent-Hopkins led the WHL in assists (75), finished fourth overall in points (106) and was named an Eastern Conference First-Team All-Star after helping the Red Deer Rebels to a first place finish in the Central Division.
-- He served as an assistant captain with Canada's Under-18 team at the 2010 Ivan Hlinka Memorial in the Czech Republic, where he won gold and scored the game-winning goal, beating the U.S. 1-0.
Scouting Report: "He's got high-end skills, vision and hockey sense."
Projection: "A first-line centre."
Best Case Scenario: "Very good first-line centre."
Concerns: "I don't think it's size. It's physical strength."

Please show me where Paul Kariya played in a league that is twice as hard as the dub. He played NCAA did he not?
Sending me a link to behind the net does nothing to prove your point.
"If you question this then that is ignorance of moronic level."--->???????????????
I am questioning it and you did nothing to support your point. I don't have time to sit here and go through these numbers the way you did, but the way you displayed your results is was like a 10 year old child taking an advanced calculus class.
I am knocking the results you showed. If you can actually show me how you came to these conclusions I would gladly take your opinion with a more open mind.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Show me the proof but don't expect me to takre the time to read it.
The earth is round! but unless you read why it realy prove nothing. So for you it is flat.
For me it is round. Witch! witch! he is a Witch!
MacGregors take sounds like Horcoff type of assessment . Yet many don't consider Horcoff a first liner . Will Hopkins be another Horcoff ?

Archeology: Up to this point Stu has been Amazing.
Things like Taking Eberle when his skating was questioned.
Is he the best Player Available? who Knows Math and history says no. Stu who states he has his favorites says yes. Three years from now I may be wrong or three years from now Prince wgo will go in the 20-40 may be better and I will be pissed.
For me this could be like taking M-A pouliot.
If RNH scored 40 goals with 30 assists would he rate better by your number with 70 points then he does now with 106 but less goals? And less percentage of his points being goals?
May 10 2011, 02:07PM
Math as a data analysis tool is fun. You can draw statistical evidence to support your conclusions and say there you have it.
For this to be a realistic measurement someone actually has to figure out a proper sample size and actually do the calculations then correlate them to the real world.
Pulling random people from the "failed" column and matching them against the "win" column then drawing a broad assumption from there is a joke. The test statistic is so biased you couldn't get it through a grade 7 stats class...
For this to be made real, someone with a lot more free time on their hands would have to sit down and actually model the league, figure out the standard deviation, error and the rest before you can prove you have reality behind your hypothesis.
Right now it appears you have a bunch of people cherry picking players, going Goals divided by assists and standing up saying this is an accurate method of predicting performance!
Post the math, the descriptive statistics and a data group encompassing several years and I will be a lot happier agreeing with the mathletes and ignoring those paid to accurately predict these kids futures.
Oh and Madjam... LOL, you truly are an internet gem!
Except there are a lot of significant differences between Prince and RNH:
RNH is a center (which we desperately need). Prince is a left wing.
RNH is #1 on CSS and ISS (as well as Bob Mac). Prince is #26 on CSS, and not in the top 30 for ISS.
RNH has had one less year of CHL play and in his first year put up 65 points in 67 games (WHL rookie of the year). Prince put up 12 points in 63 games his first year and 30 points in 65 games his second year.
RNH according to Stu is the guy "stirring the drink" in Red Deer (the next highest Rebel had 82 points). Prince played on a line with the OHL scoring champ (Toffoli: 57 goals and 108 points) and his other line-mate, Martindale, had 83 points.
RNH, while subpar in the second round of the playoffs, still put up 11 points in 9 games. Prince had only 1 goal and was -6 in 3 games in the playoffs as his team was swept in the first round.
Those are some mathematical "facts" for you.
and the fact in round 2 of the playoffs, the tigers game plan was to shutdown RNH, by shutting down RNH, it clearly shutdown the whole team.

I can't understand the logic of waiting around to rebuild for 3 to 4 more years….sorry that should be wont. I understand that we are only a year and a half into what is supposed to be a five year rebuild. That rebuild has essentially been taking the better part of the last 5 years save one year of playoff magic, not to mention the fact before we could compete salary wise we were no more then mediocre at best.
I can't argue with what Arch say's but, I empathies and agree more with what Quick has to say. I don't get the argument that why trade proven players for pick's? Then the argument we trade a proven player but the pick won't play for 2 or 3 years, but then you argue that the rebuild is only into its first years and we shouldn't expect anything for 3 or 4 years, so why not trade for picks, the time line will still be consistent with the rebuild and by the time it's over all players should be ready, given the 3 to 4 year window. Plus, and I've said it before that I don't have any issue with Gagner. I just don't see him, Hemsky or Cogliano fitting in the future of this team, so why not get that pick for him.
Having said that why would we go after a d-man who is a whiner/trouble and a healthy scratch for the better part of last year? That seems to be a waste of a trade or a pick if you ask me.
I really like what everyone is saying, great topic, great opinions, yes that includes even you madjam. Peace out
May 10 2011, 07:59PM
Steve: But martindale and toffoli had major point jumps when Prince played with them.
RNH played with kudrna and persson at EV and Kudrna made no improvement year to year while playing with RNH. TSK TSK.
Froese did bury 24 of RNH passes on the PP. good thing he had a power play finnisher to pad his PP numbers.
When RNH goes to the NHL he will have a realistic drop in that area. 24G on the PP. the top PP goal scorers avg 14 goals. pp numbers take a huge hit junior to NHL. a player who is pp driven has a major production hit. an EV scorer will produce similiar to his numbers. Any pp points are a bonus.
As for the Medicine hat thing is your telling me is unlike Hall who was targeted and still produced. RNH was not able to take the game over. good to Know. RNH could be easily shut down in junior. what happens when he plays teh best. Prince at #31 is looking more his equal 30 picks later.

@Clyde Frog
RCM: is a way of identifying trends in industry to avoid the repetative failures that occur. this pump fails 60% of the time inn situation X. smart industry people avoid the situation and reduce risk of failure. Statitions want to see it 100 more time so they can say it will happen 62% of the time rather than 60%. Academic work at its best.
If a team wanted to iso RNH with a player and shadow him then feel free then that leaves Hall or Eberle open, medicine hat did that because RNH was the sole reason they were there in the first place and no one else was that good, aka Red Deer was a good team BECAUSE of Nugent-Hopkins.
I am also going to assume that because you won't answer my question that your math is flawed. Just because a guy has most of his points from goals doesnt make him better I would take a guy putting up 50 points with 10 goals then Ryan Jones this year with 17 and whatever.

Sorry buddy,
When you are dealing with a simple simple simple ratio of G/A and extrapolating from there with a sample of under 20 players from a population of over 1000... Yeah, that is in no way Academic work at its best.
Not to mention the observation bias being demonstrated in choosing proper candidates for your 20, seriously.
The ratio is too simple; you have no limits; the sample size was chosen to prove a point, not take any real trending; you cant state the error about the mean; nor the StDev; nor can you confidently state the proper sample size to get your confidence over 90%.
This is nothing short of inventing stats and saying well I can do it because it should be right...
i hope you understand that that windsor spitfires team was absolutely stacked... they had tons of depth and just didn't have to focus on 1 player running the show. RNH isn't a powerfoward so he wouldn't be able to take over games nor did he have the support.

1. Can you add mangable.com and ourmanga.com to the list?
2. Can you make it so it automatically goes to the next chapter instead of having to manually select the next chapter?
3. Can you add an option to minimize the screen and/or maximize without going fullscreen?
4. Can you add spacebar, enter, and/or scrolling to go to the next page. I'm used to using one of these rather than the arrows.
3. Also, mangafox.com and mangatoshokan.com doesn't work with this. Double pages doesn't seem to work properly either.

(July 24) Today we're celebrating . . . Cousin's Day
Cousin's Day
A day for celebrating our cousins! I know I'm showing my age now but what better way to celebrate the day than a little clip of TVs ultimate cousins!
Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
But Patty's only seen the sights
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights —
What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.
Where Cathy adores a minuet,
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
A hot dog makes her lose control —
What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike —
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

Have you ever wondered if there's a beauty product out there that would give you an instant 'in' with a cute guy? Something that makes you sound cool and look cool when you're trying to remain cool around the bassist of that band you love? Well, there is! "Oh, hey! My nails match your jeans…"
Renee and Sarah tried out Sally Hansen's Salon Effects denim nail stickers at the Denim Therapy office. You guessed it, they opted for "Skinny Jeans". The stickers are easy to put on (Sarah says she's even done hers on the subway), look great, and stay on without chipping for a lot longer than regular polish. The only flaw, Renee discovered, is they're nearly impossible to touch up once they do start chipping. And, at $10 a pop, they're a little pricier than most of the wet stuff.

Sally Hansen has a something special for those of you who can't seem to get no satisfaction. If it's not enough to wear denim as clothing, why not tip your fingers with it too? Their new Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips hit the shelves this past month and have gotten rave reviews from the blog-o-sphere (not to mention our friends), but so far we haven't seen too many people rocking the "Skinyjean" style, a replica of denim texture. We'll take the liberty and get back to you in a flash with our review of this highly amusing denim-addict manicure.

Oh, Lilo's list.
No one cares, duckie.ReplyCancel
Evan Peters needs to watch his back.ReplyCancel
Though her handwriting is driving me bats. I don't even know why that's the thing that bothers me the most.ReplyCancel
Why is anyone writing lists? So lame.ReplyCancel
Dohhh. Im not even curious.ReplyCancel
In Touch is really gonna try to stretch this out as long a possible aren't they…ugh…like we don't already know who's there…ReplyCancel
Uh. "Zach" (Zac) Efron? Girl be high. That guy bats for his own team.ReplyCancel
Maggio Cipriani owns restaurants and Danny Cipriani is an athlete. I don't believe they are related.ReplyCancel
Of all the guys LiLo has banged, of which I think we all agree this list is a fraction, who are the ones you want to know about? I'll list mine.
-The one who popped her cherry
-The one who popped her chocolate cherry (anal)
-The one who paid the most
-The one who did the most vile stuff
-The one who threw the worst beating on her
-The one she most regretsReplyCancel
It could be worse, right? It could read something like:
1) dude with rad hair in Chateau Marmont bathroom
2) dude with blow at Pure
3) other dude with blow
4) dude? Think? In closet at party
so at least she got names! Baby stepsReplyCancel
Warecat brings up a valid point. Thank you.
-The first box she munched
-The first broad to munch her box
-The prettiest box she munched
-The gnarliest one
-The tastiest one
Oh, and the first ass she ate, both male and female, and the first person to eat hers.
There is the interview you want to get out of the broad. Someone get an 8ball and leave the voice recorder on, on your phone.ReplyCancel
She should make a list of her "clients" the rich foreign guys she now "dates"…oh yes & the girls she was "scissor sisters" with…you know Paris, Nichole, & Kimberly Stewart would be on that list.ReplyCancel
@Count-Yes, the details….this list would be better with details…altough I'm still fairly certain Wilmer was her first of most…ReplyCancel
You need to remember LiLo wasn't always the joke of a mess she is now…she was once the hottie starlet, being billed as the star of tomorrow…who she hooked up with shouldn't really be too much of a surpriseReplyCancel
One of my fave gifsReplyCancel
@Sunshine-These names are just the famous guys LiLo did…it's not everyone she's ever hooked up with….that would be much more & Paris would be on that listReplyCancel
This list would only be remotely interesting if it also listed every person that each person on that list slept with. The CDC Would be called.ReplyCancel
1 question and 1 favor:
Does anyone know if the list was actually put together by her?
Please tell me James Mcavoy has not show up on the lists. That would break my little heart.
Lilo WAS hot once upon a time. You can't really blame the guys that were with her way back when. Plus, I'm sure a lot of them were just as high as she probably was, so, yah, stuff happens.
I actually don't know who a lot of these names are. I'm a little surprised there aren't more actual famous people. Are they the ones that are still unknown maybe? Famous people who are not single?ReplyCancel
Jude Law prob one of the shorter names.ReplyCancel
She doesn't have any diseases that all the guys didn't already have. Give me a break.ReplyCancel
If Affleck is on this list, I may cry.ReplyCancel
Because it looks inauthentic. Her print reminds me exactly of the 2/3 block text that architects use. Wow. That just gave me some scary flashbacks of my crazy home ec teacher who was a real stickler about that type of printingReplyCancel
This just wreaks of a publicity stunt to me. Am I crazy? I don't really buy that all of this list is factual. Lindsey probably sent the list to the tabs herself.
So, I totally started watching Lindsay on OWN cause you crazy bitches convinced me. It is so horrifyingly riveting. I hate myself for watching, but I'm still in. I need to watch the second epi. Dina gets the DUI.ReplyCancel
It's like Lilo's special hit list of all the souls stolen and peens infected in their journeys to her freckled death trapReplyCancel
Where's Michael Cera? According to "This is the End" he's a gross pig with women (the scene where he grabs Rhianna's ass & gets slapped is very funny). His fictional character & Lilo are a match made in Hell.ReplyCancel
Where's John Mayer? You just know he's taken a dump on her.ReplyCancel
According to Enty she also did it with Robert Pattinson and Marilyn Manson (and Dita von Teese) but still havent seen those names.. Ohoh Enty, why did you lie?
(happy for Manson, Dita and Robert if Enty's stories aren't true though)
I love the blacked out names. You know they paid the hush money. This list crap has been about the money from day one. Pay or pray, LiLo is going to make the bucks off your name, even if its only in ratings…ReplyCancel
@LazyDay: The best was when Cera was getting a BJ and his salad tossed. I laughed so hard.
@ShitYouCantBuy: Those were probably paid gigs, or don't count cause she was coked out of her mind.
Group exercise:
I LOL that LiLo's List has dried up more vag than _____________.
I'll have to go with, "socks on during sex."
I expect "menopause" to be a popular answer.ReplyCancel
Here is another one: "Dutch oven farts."
Sorry if I offended any Dutch, by implicating they have ovens.ReplyCancel
Orlando??? Nooooooo….ReplyCancel

24/7 helpline 540-568-6411
Campus Assault ResponsE (CARE) is a student-run organization that addresses the issue of sexual assault and prevention on campus. The CARE helpline is designed to assist students who have been directly or indirectly affected by sexual assault and who are in need of crisis intervention or information.
The number for the 24/7 helpline is 540-568-6411 when JMU is in session. The helpline operates on a voicemail-pager system, meaning that the caller can leave a message on the voicemail system, and then the voicemail system will page a CARE member that is on call. The CARE member will respond within 15 minutes of receiving the page to offer support and helpful information to the caller.
CARE volunteers also serve as an active support for survivors by guiding them through the process of pressing charges and accompanying them to court.
The organization has general members, as well as trained members that go through 30-40 hours of training. The general members can attend the weekly meetings and volunteer for programs and events that CARE is planning; however, trained members run the 24/7 helpline. It is not required for CARE members to be trained, and all students are welcome to attend meetings and get involved.
CARE meets at 7 pm on Thursday nights in Student Success Center 4043. Visit CARE at their organizational site or Be Involved.

JACKSON — Eleven inmates and five staff members have been injured in an altercation at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
Grace Fisher, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections, said two of the inmates injured in Wednesday's confrontation remained hospitalized Friday. One had been stabbed in the chest and another had been stabbed in the arm.
Fisher said the clash occurred in a gymnasium in the same maximum-security unit where a 35-year-old inmate, Kelvin Bowen, was stabbed to death on Tuesday.
Prison officials said another inmate, 31-year-old Roderick Roshund Lewis, was identified as Bowen's assailant.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 1, 2011
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced a range of cutting-edge capabilities that enable economical testing and evaluation of advanced radar and electronic-warfare (EW) systems. Spanning signal-creation software, signal generators, measurement applications and signal analyzers, the additions enable test solutions that provide greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness than typical single-purpose EW threat simulators.
"These highly sophisticated capabilities represent a focused response to requests from designers creating the next generation of radar and EW systems," said Guy S�n�, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Microwave and Communications Division. "By offering new levels of realism and performance in commercial, off-the-shelf products, we're delivering the flexibility and cost-effectiveness developers need to handle multiple variations of present and future designs."
In testing radar and EW systems, the N7620A Signal Studio for pulse building software enables the creation of highly realistic test signals. New options add the generation of pulse-width and pulse-repetition interval patterns, which enhance the realism of radar simulations. Impairments such as jitter and wobulation add even greater realism to simulated pulsed-RF signals. Options include a wide variety of antenna scan and radiation patterns, enabling accurate modeling of antenna behavior.
Signals created with Signal Studio for pulse building can be downloaded into instruments such as the Agilent E8267D PSG vector signal generator. A recent enhancement to the PSG, Option UNY, typically provides -143 dBc/Hz phase noise (10-kHz offset, 1-GHz signal), which is required for precise simulation of moving-target-indicator (MTI) and pulsed-Doppler radar signals.
Signal analysis is essential to the testing and evaluation of radar and EW transmitters. For detailed analysis of pulsed signals, the N9051A pulse measurement application runs inside Agilent X-Series signal analyzers such as the PXA, MXA and EXA. Recent enhancements to the PXA extend its industry-leading phase noise, displayed average noise level (DANL), and 140-MHz analysis bandwidth to 50 GHz. External mixing extends the frequency range to 325 GHz and beyond.
Optional phase and frequency measurements include pulse-to-pulse phase, pulse mean and standard deviation, and chirp demodulation and analysis. An option for extended analysis and statistics provides numerical and graphical analysis of pulsed signals.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
All of the new capabilities are available now worldwide. List prices are as follows:

|In response to Re: Washing machine vent
: When my washing machine empties there is a glug, glug sound in the kitchen sink. The septic tank was checked two days ago and is fine for another year. There is a clean out pipe between the house and the septic tank and it is clear. I don't see a vent pipe in the roof from the utility room. There is a pipe in the wall behind the washer that is capped off. Should this pipe be vented through the roof instead of being capped off and would it take care of the glug? Thanks, Elaine

Traffic speed in Lawrence was a topic of discussion at the last commission meeting of September. A concerned Lawrence citizen said vehicles are traveling by her home in excess of 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. She would like another speed limit sign to alert motorists that the speed limit is only 30 mph through Lawrence and just outside the community. There is a bus turn around in the area also and the bus drivers are driving too fast in the area as well. She said she has made a number of phone calls to voice her concerns. She was instructed by the sheriff's office to gather the license plate numbers of the speeders if possible. Deputies have been in the Lawrence area to enforce the posted speed limits there. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he would contact the road department and have Steve Kemple the sign coordinator go to the site and assess the situation and see what can be done. Horrocks said the signs are placed according to state statute.
One citizen said he travels through Lawrence twice a day and views the speed limit too slow through there as none of the other towns in the county are posted at 30 mph, most communities he said are at least 35 mph with 45 mph leading into the towns.
The situation is dangerous and confusing for those using the roads around Lawrence, many bikers, walkers and runners use those roads along with the vehicles and it is a cause for concern. People need to slow down in that area.
Horrocks said he will inform the citizen of the findings of Kemple at the road department and will see what can be done to rectify the unsafe situation.
The county discussed a county-wide burn ordinance with Justin Needles who is the Carbon/Emery fire warden. He said there is always a problem with people burning when the burn season isn't open. A uniform county-wide ordinance would be helpful. The Emery County fire district is made up of all the fire chiefs of the towns in the county. An ordinance will be prepared and introduced to the fire district for their approval.
If someone wants to burn out of season they must notify the fire warden and he will issue them a permit. The burn season follows the state code and is from Nov. 1-May 1 each year. Cities can adopt their own burn ordinances so they can allow burning in October. Part of the burn ordinance states a burn must be attended. Needles passed a copy of the Carbon County burn ordinance to the commissioners, they will use this as a model to create an Emery County burn ordinance. The burning of trees, limbs and brush is OK, but garbage, tires, etc. should not be burned.
If burn permits are issued then a record of these can be kept by the sheriff's office so they will know who is burning on what day and what time and this will help avoid false alarms for fire departments. The next fire district meeting will be on Nov. 14 and the next meeting for the mayors will be on Dec. 6 and the ordinance will be introduced to them at that time, prior to commission approval.
The commission approved the board of equalization changes that were made during the comment period and also tax abatements for veterans and abatements which will be paid back to the county by the state.
The commission approved ambulance billing reductions for parties who do not reside in the United States, but were involved in a traffic accident in Emery County.
The planning and zoning commission members will receive a $50 per diem for attending their meetings some of which are in Green River. The bylaws state that members of the board shall be volunteers and the per diem will cover their expenses. Mileage is paid for the Green River member who travels to Castle Dale frequently and this is permissible under the bylaws. Board members are sometimes required to attend meetings in Salt Lake.
The commissioners discussed but then tabled a county ordinance that would allow no septic tanks within 300 feet of cities/towns sewer lines. Mike McCandless, planning and zoning administrator said there is no clear process for those who want to build a home just outside a town. The planning and zoning will address this issue along with the Castle Valley Special Service District. After an ordinance is prepared and a public hearing held then it can come back before the commission.
A citizen commented that some residents inside the city of Orangeville still don't have access to sewer lines because of their location. McCandless said this is true and what's feasible in each situation must be addressed. This ordinance will be for new construction.
The commission approved the bylaws for the Emery County Travel Bureau and the Trails Committee.
The commission and Brenda Tuttle, clerk/auditor set the dates for the upcoming budget meetings with the department heads to determine the 2012 budget.
The commissioners gave their reports and Commissioner James Nelson said he attended UAC meetings and the most important issues addressed were RS-2477 roads and the litigation the state and Emery County is involved with. Emery County has six roads at this time in litigation for RS-2477 right-of-ways. He said the approach of many at the meeting was they want the ownership of all the county roads in their counties. There was also a visitor from Sen. Lee's staff at the meeting. Commissioner Nelson took the opportunity to talk of the Emery County Public Lands use bill and several people there commented and spoke in support of grass roots effort in public land use.
Commissioner Horrocks said he attended the Emery County Business Chamber Economic Summit and it was very informative. During the breakfast session, Tom Retson from Blue Castle Holdings spoke and answered questions on the proposed nuclear power plant near Green River. "This gave a better understanding of nuclear power and its safety. I appreciate the people who put it (summit) on."
Horrocks said he attended the fall UAC meetings where there was important information on public lands and medicare changes. Another idea discussed at the meetings was using the beer tax to pay for treatments of those people with addictions. Another area to watch will be how public defenders are hired and paid by counties, it is currently done on a county by county basis and there could be a uniform statewide policy forthcoming.
The bike festival at the Wedge last weekend was attended by 60 bikers. The Wedge ride is a premier ride among Utah bikers. The Little Grand Canyon Marathon was held on Sept. 10 and 500 people attended this event. Both of these events are supported by the Emery County Travel Bureau.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth thanked travel council employee Tina Carter for setting up a booth at the Utah State Fair and she commented on how the rural counties are the biggest participants at the state fair.
Nelson reminded everyone the Mikelson pot is on display at the Museum of the San Rafael and to visit it.
The next commission meeting will be on Oct. 11 at 9 a.m.

Skip to comments.A Possible Explanation Of Why There Are So Few Female Mass Murderers
Posted on 12/18/2012 6:36:06 AM PST by SeekAndFind
The emerging profile of Adam Lanza, the suspected shooter in the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., is depressingly familiar.
He has been described as being socially awkward and a loner. He reportedly had Asperger's syndrome a high-performing form of autism and may have been afflicted by other psychiatric problems. And he was male. His sex almost goes without saying.
According to Mother Jones, 62 mass shootings defined as a single spree that killed at least four people have been carried out in the U.S. since 1982. Only one was perpetrated by a female.
In 2006, Jennifer San Marco fatally shot her former neighbor, then drove to work and killed six colleagues before turning her gun on herself. The rest of the massacres were carried out by males, 44 of whom were white.
What is the connection between gender and outbreaks of massive violence? A helpful way to approach the question is to look at the three main categories of mass murderers. There are "family annihilators," who, as the name suggests, turn on their families.
There are "set-and-run" or "hit-and-run" killers, who usually hide and try to avoid capture. Then there are "pseudocommandos," a category that would seem to include James Holmes, the suspected shooter in the July movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo., and Seung-Hui Cho, who in 2007 killed 32 people during a rampage at Virginia Tech.

Could be because the boys get those meds?
Because no one is out there saying females' natural personality traits are "wrong" and need to be suppressed?
I personally think most women who are that messed up just kill themselves by one of the more traditional female methods.
Oprahfication of society is an evil.
(remember Oprah is Harpo backwards. A comic fool, a jester)
Guess again:
From American Life League:
Abortions in the United States
Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2011: 54.5 million+
234 abortions per 1,000 live births (according to the Centers for Disease Control)
Abortions per year: 1.2 million
Abortions per day: 3,288
Abortions per hour: 137
9 abortions every 4 minutes
1 abortion every 26 seconds
Crazy women just make you wish you were dead.
Why only define 'a single spree killed at 4 people' with only 'shootings'?
Is there any other form of killings that fits the bill but not with guns? Yes, yes, there is. So females don't do arsons, vehicular homicides or other types, either?
Men used to have to learn to deal with their emotions, but teachers don't have the partience for tat any more, anyway they suppress those emotions when they come up.
Now we have a generation of grown boys who have no idea of their role and place in soceity.
Ha! Only a lib could wonder why men are more aggressive the women.
Love your screen name.
lets see....
men are excluded from quotas except as to "not hire to meet quotas"
men have no access to scholarship set asides
men have their programs cut in favor of oprahfication (see women's rowing in the desert taking money from wresling scholarships)
men are precluded from small business loans in favor of women.
politicians praise a female in a tiny business vs a male success in a big job creating business.
incompetence is hired over competence. (image rather than merit)
Women have no clue how to raise sons in the age of Oprah, Metrosexuals, and thought control political correctness.
IOW boys are not allowed to be boys.
Brilliant, perceptive. Thanks for posting.
how about nurses killing all those old people?
The mother who killed her own children?
The real issue here is guns guns guns. Not who was doing the killing.
the author is focusing on the means, not the evil.
I think that is the key sentence in your entire article. The meds, the public discussions as a mental health issue and all the libtard feel good crapola are ways to treat the symptoms without addressing the cause.
Subsidies for single motherhood, deposit your seed and disappear fatherhood, pretending that children can be just as responsibly raised by gays or lesbians are just some of the tools used by libtards to make war on the traditional family.
You can see it in their sneering indictment of the Ozzie and Harriett or Leave It to Beaver caricature. If some obscure species of minnow is dwindling due partly to irrigation in a dry year, their answer is to put millions of acres of prime agricultural land (and thousands of workers) out of production to save the obscure minnow.
But when their policies produce a decline of the traditional family, their policy prescriptions are to hasten this decline because it is so old fashioned and passe'. When fathers get the same respect that an obscure minnow species enjoy, this problem will begin to self-correct.
Women are just sneakier about it.
One Saturday morning my wife was making breakfast and I was on the phone with a friend. I made some smart ass comment about my wife doing her "womanly duty". She didn't say a word as she set a cup of coffee down in front of me.
It wasn't till I took a good healthy chug of the coffee that I discovered that she had put several teaspoons of salt in it. She said "Just be glad it was salt....this time."
In short, we don't need more feminized, metrosexual males to be good buddies to their sons, we need fathers who know when to be tough but fair with their wayward offspring.
Technically, that would be serial killing instead of mass murder. Mass murderers usually know their victims.
being socially awkward and a loner
That means no one especially girls paid ATTENTION to it.
the media knows this so they promise worldwide fame and the most massive attention to these losers. THIS is why these mass shooters do it to do something big, something important , to be somebody instead of a nothing. Now they will be known among the shakepeare's , Newtons , etc.
Women do get constant attention especially from men . Men are always looking at women, asking them out ,hitting on them. but these loner mass shooters never had a girl hit on them.
The media know they are egging on the next star,promising them fame and immortality if they will just try to top or match the current mass shooter.
The mainstream media causes these shootings.
These idiots or psychos shoot people for the fame the media will give them.
The media makes these shooters household names.
And also it could be as simple as monkey see , monkey do .they see a male doing it so they identify with it . The media and advertisers know the power of images, repetition and the media are responsible .
The media and democrats are exploiting the mass shootings to take away our individual rights and to empower government.
In their sick mind they seek to be the next star, importance, to be important, better than being nothing ignored by all.
"Is it really a mystery why most school shooters are male? Men are more aggressive than women on account of testosterone. Wacky men act out differently than wacky women do. What's next asking why more women suffer from post-partum depression than men?"
Bingo. To even ask the question reveals the stupidity of the questioner. Yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question.
To me, a more interesting question is, why is the majority of mass murderers white?
To me, a more interesting question is, why is the majority of mass murderers white?
Monkey see , monkey do. The media keeps putting out the same scenes. A loner idiot sees the constant media coverage and the glorifying of the perp and identifies with him( sees himself in that role). The media know this and egg them on , and promise them fame.
I'm sorry CC but LOLOL!
"Could be because the boys get those meds?"
BINGO. You win the prize!

44 of the 62 were white. That's 71%
White Americans make up 72.4% of the population.
I'd say that mass murderers are in proportion to the racial make-up of the country. Race is NOT a factor.
Female Mass Murderers: Major Cases and Motives
BY Katherine Ramsland
The mother knows her child, there is no question about that.
Oh, there are technical differences, to be sure.
A mother killing her own child in the more heinous crime, here, though, and the numbers are more massive than anything in history, at least comparable.
Anyway, the murderer here knows the victim intimately. In fact, the victim's cells are left in the mother/ murderer for life.
" 44 of the 62 were white. That's 71%
White Americans make up 72.4% of the population.
I'd say that mass murderers are in proportion to the racial make-up of the country. Race is NOT a factor."
For some reason I thought the makeup of America was less than 72% white. Obviously I bought into the media narrative that white people are evil.
Women , even average looking ones, get constant attention from men ( looking at them , flirtation, asking out etc). So these morons are starving for attention and are sexually frustrated also.
Men especially if they are awkward or weird will never get attention from women. The media gives these mass shooters the most massive attention ever, making them world famous household names even. So they do it for the fame and attention. the media know this and this is why the massive coverage about the perpetrator. Let's not give these psychos the attention they seek. Let's not give the media what the media want to empower government and to take away our individual rights (gun rights for one).
It's very common for male animals in the wild to go in and kill the offspring of another male animal in order to mate and prodice their own offspring. Lions do this, bears do this, wild dogs do this, etc. So maybe it just something imbedded in our nature.
Some interesting thoughts, but I think the author's conclusions would also indicate a higher representation of minorities, yet 71% of these mass shooters were white.
If the root is fatherlessness, or some kind of macho drive, then that statistic still needs to be explained.
(remember Oprah is Harpo backwards. A comic fool, a jester)
you made my day with this one (ha)
Hilarious! I do love a woman with claws, and a sense of humor. Best behaviour keeps ya breathing :)
Maybe they chose the cutoff of four so that the claim would be more dramatic. Amy Bishop shot six people in one incident, but only three of them died.
Ban testosterone! Oh, wait, the libs, metrosexuals and gays already have.
Your post exactly expresses my initial reaction to the article.
Two patients enter an abortion clinic, only one comes out alive!
"Crazy women just make you wish you were dead."
Well, not always. :) At least not while they can keep you from figuring out how crazy they really are.
>>> the author is focusing on the means, not the evil.
What I said is that focus was too narrow.
And thus any conclusion or whatver it arrived at, the point (so few female mass murderers) is not valid.
We're trying to find causes other than the obvious for these mass shootings.
Beginning with Columbine, these shooters have 4 common traits.
Disconnected from a solid father,
mood altering drugs,
loners with few or no friends,
and heavily into computer gaming.
The father part affects the other three.
1.2 million women kill every year in America.
I think the meds are a part of it, but they treat a symptom that the schools created.
The problem is that school boys and girls are at the age where their bodies begin growing rapidly. Schools used to have a thing called "recess" in the morning and afternoon to let the children go outside to run around and generally expend energy. This would tire them out so they could sit quietly in class and learn their lectures.
Many schools today have driven out recess, along with many other outlets for energy like band, PE, shop, etc., and replaced the time with social behavior modifaction classes on the environment, alternate lifestyles, and multi-culturalism.
With no outlet for their natural energy, boys are labeled as ADD and drugged by the schools until they graduate. While drugged, their emotions are also suppressed. They don't learn to deal with their emotions when they're young, so they are consumed by them when they graduate and are taken off the meds. All it takes is for a girlfriend to dump them, or another boy to court a girlfriend, or a best-friend to die or move away, and they explode from their pent up suppressed feelings.
That's my theory, anyway.
Men have always been much more violent, going back way before feminism was an expressed or acted upon concept.
Occam's razor—testosterone.
In 2006, Jennifer San Marco fatally shot her former neighbor, then drove to work and killed six colleagues before turning her gun on herself. The rest of the massacres were carried out by males, 44 of whom were white."
Interesting. It would be interesting to know what the race was of the 17 male shooters that were not white. Considering the racial proportions of the population, it's very likely these attacks are mainly male, and evenly distributed proportionally across the races. Pointing out that white males do more of these events may only be due to the racial proportions of the populations, not that white males snap any more than a male of any other race...
Very interesting....
well it's high testosterone that makes women more aggressive too. the female hormones make them more emotional.

" We had such an amazing time here at Albora! Ali and his family were extremely accommodating, helping us get around Kusadasi and making sure we felt at home! We definitely enjoyed the home cooked meals for dinner - absolutely delicious! The hotel is just a 5 min walk to the centre which is perfect since it can be party central with the bar street, and a quick walk to both beaches. We would recommend anyone to stay here for as long as they could. Had all the fun - thank you hotel Albora !! "- Anónimo

Great Evening Sandal
"Beautiful and comfortable sandal. Classy high heel is flattering and platform makes them more comfortable for long wear. Straps are flat so they do not dig in to foot. Extra special with a bit of sparkle and placement of glitter does not catch or snag long gowns."

Fabulous Sparkly Hot Pink Heels!!!
"These heels are stunning! I normally where a 9, but they were sold out so I got an 8 1/2 and they fit fine!! These are a perfect pop of color for a black dress. I wish the actual straps were slightly thinner, but the color and sparkly platform/heel make up for that!"

Super Light, Super Comfortable
"This might be my favorite pair of shoes, bar none. They weigh almost nothing and have just enough cushion and support. I've been looking for a great pair of walking shoes but most athletic shoes are so heavy and I don't like that I have to tie and untie to get them on and off. These have the look of laces but they are elastic that make them easy to get on and off. I wish they made them in white, but I love them so much I will probably buy a second pair just incase they wear out!!One slight problem. I don't recall seeing any info about cleaning them so I threw them in the was with some other dark clothes. No only did washing make the laces turn grey but the shoe also left big dark marks on a clay colored t-shirt. If I buy another pair, I will certainly just wipe them off or wash them carefully in the sink."

perfect weekend sneaker
"i've been searching for a black sneaker to wear on the weekends and this IS IT! it's lightweight, easy to slip on without messing with ties and laces, the black makes it looks less "sneaker" and omg it is SO COMFORTABLE. it looks great with jeans and capris and i know i'll be living in these every weekend.my only wish is they came in a few colors."

Finally found the comfy everyday shoes
"I have been looking for a pair of comfy everyday shoes with a reasonable price for a few months. I finally saw these and decided to give them a try (thanks to DSW policy on free returns and quick refund). I received them within a few days and fell in love with them once I opened the box and tried them on. SoOo light and comfy ... I have flat feet and I think the insoles give enough support for a day long; I have not tried them for a long walk though. There is an important issue for those with wide feet. These shoes run relatively narrow, but they still work for somebody with medium feet like me, but I am not sure about those with wide feet. Also, I am usually between size 8.5 and 8, I got these in 8.5 and they fit nicely, giving enough room for thick socks and still breathing! I could possibly go for a size 8 too, but I am not sure if I could still wear them with thick or even regular socks right a way or not. Probably I might have needed to wear sheer socks until the shoes begin to add some room! All in all,I am so happy that I finally have a pair of shoes which are so comfy but do not necessarily look like athletic shoes. I am considering getting another pair in a different color."

Read full Sony MDR-1000X review
Just ordered the SoundMagic E10. My usual CX500's just aren't lasting the pace these days. I am very hard on them though as I use them during training so I never want to spend that much on something that I'm lucky to get 6 months out of. I've gone through 3 CX500's in a year so time for a change.
While I basically abandoned this site after the redesign (it still sucks by the way) its good to see you are still the goto source for things like this :)
Well thats the end of them, the left earbud just died. Shocking.
I was very impressed with the sound quality, especially for what is still low end. Much better than the CX500's. Such a shame then I only got about 6 weeks out of them. I shall try for a replacement pair and see how that goes.
I will prefer a pair of over ear headphone, which harms your Auditory system the least, and better it is a wireless one so that i can enjoy my music wherever i want freely. like the iT7x.
What about AKG TIESTO?!?! They won the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2013..
Curry's? Don't make me laugh. They don't sell quality audio products, just bass-heavy junk for the ignorant, spotty yoof market (know wot I mean?).
doesn't matter... i saw momentum on top, and i'm happy!!!
Use Ajax PLEASE!
It is Ajax
Hey what abut b&o headsets?they have some of the best headsets I ever used!
obviously, Bang & Olufsen is unknown to the person who did that review... well.. he can keep his bose and the rest.. i keep my B&O headphones..
so true.. they are fantastics... i 100% agree with you my friend
what do you think about the noontec products? they worth for the value i think :)
The 'Ignorant, spotty yoof' shop via ebay and amazon. Curry's lmao.
That doesn't mean they sound good. One could say the Mio Liquid bottle was well designed, but that doesn't make it a good pair of headphones.
I agree. Out of the headphones I've tried, and I've tried quite a few, these are some of the best. Plus good on a budget. $150 at Amazon. AT makes some excellent products, especially, when price is a factor.
Sony MDR-7506 will always reign supreme in my world.
Got the Bose Quietcomfort 20 and they are awesome. Put a quick review together too about them : http://www.routerjanitor.com/2... I mostly use them in a crowded office. Can't wait to travel now (nah, that's a joke)
Can anybody tell me why the hell isn't B&W's P5 in this list? With all due respect to Sennheiser, I listened to both P5 and Momentum On-ear (which is quite overpriced for what they offer, but somehow made it into this list), there's absolutely no comparison.
The best guys to review headphones are music producers that have the ears that hear frequencies and nuances that most people are unaware of. Much of the reviews from the public are quite useless and to make things more difficult it depends on the music genre they listen to. My preference is the Sennheiser HD 800 reference headphones because they give as near to a true performance as is possible.
Trying once again...Bernie...You seem to know your stuff....Any recommendations for a good set for listening to on the computer while I play cards on line..???
Don't want to spend over $100...maybe a little more...HELP
At first I thought Sennheisers are just overpriced and overrated just like Dr.dre Beats. I've tried quite a few headphones already; ranging from shure, akg, ath and sennheisers camp. I've tried at least 8 pairs all up and I've found that most of them are either bass heavy or treble heavy. Sennheiser hd 25 (Amperior) has the right tonal balance and the best soundstage compared to the others. I'm sorry that I've cannot remembered every model I've tried on that day. But I've shortlisted 2 headphones, namely shure SRH440 and HD 25. These are just as good as the other but Hd 25 has a slightly (very slightly) better sound control at higher volume and soundstage than Shure. Plus Hd 25 had a 33% discount on that day, so I bought that instead. I've tried the Momentum on a different day and I've found that HD 25 matches it. Luckily for me, I got the HD 25 for $100 cheaper as they are retailed at $299 in the DJ store.
nad viso hp50's ????
Anyone looking for some quality earphones <£30 have a look at the Acorn Audio E1s
My friend is visually impaired and uses screen reading software for work and study. She works using a headphone for upto 8 hours a day. I want to buy good quality headphones that will not damage hearing and also is comfortable to use. Please suggest some brands. I can spend upto £100.

There are two kinds of beings in heaven who are called angels: those who are spirits and those who have bodies of flesh and bone. Angels who are spirits have not yet obtained a body of flesh and bone, or they are spirits who have once had a mortal body and are awaiting resurrection. Angels who have bodies of flesh and bone have either been resurrected from the dead or translated.
There are many references in scripture to the work of angels. Sometimes angels speak with a voice of thunder as they deliver God's messages (Mosiah 27:11–16). Righteous mortal men may also be called angels (JST, Gen. 19:15). Some angels serve around the throne of God in heaven (Alma 36:22).
The scriptures also speak of the devil's angels. These are those spirits who followed Lucifer and were thrust out of God's presence in the premortal life and cast down to the earth (Rev. 12:1–9; 2 Ne. 9:9, 16; D&C 29:36–37).
- Jacob saw angels of God ascending and descending:Gen. 28:12;
- Angels of God met Jacob:Gen. 32:1–2;
- Gideon saw an angel of the Lord face to face:Judg. 6:22;
- An angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it:2 Sam. 24:16;
- An angel touched Elijah and said to him, Arise and eat:1 Kgs. 19:5–7;
- Daniel saw the angel Gabriel in a vision:Dan. 8:15–16;
- The angel Michael helped Daniel:Dan. 10:13;
- The angel Gabriel was sent from God:Luke 1:19, 26–27;
- The devil's angels will be reserved in chains unto the judgment:Jude 1:6; ( 2 Pet. 2:4; )
- People saw angels descending out of heaven:3 Ne. 17:24;
- Moroni wrote about the ministering of angels:Moro. 7:25–32;
- The Aaronic Priesthood holds the keys of the ministering of angels:D&C 13;
- Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Moses, Elijah, and Elias all ministered to Joseph Smith as angels:D&C 27:5–12;
- Ye are not able to abide the ministering of angels:D&C 67:13;
- Michael, the archangel, is Adam:D&C 107:54;
- Angels are resurrected personages, having bodies of flesh and bones:D&C 129;
- There are no angels who minister to this earth but those who belong to it:D&C 130:5;
- Men who do not obey God's law of eternal marriage neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven:D&C 132:16–17;

Smoking is bad for our bodies, plain and simple. The health effects from cigarette smoking cause more than 440,000 deaths in the United States every year.
Fix it: Don't quit cold turkey, try nicotine-replacement therapy, ask your doctor about prescription medications, find a support system in your friends and family, and avoid triggers like alcohol.
Ditching healthy habits on the weekends.
Not counting the weekends as a part of your healthy lifestyle can actually harm your health. Binging on unhealthy foods and not staying active on the weekends can set you back in your healthy living goals.
Fix it: Make an effort to stay active on the weekend. Sure, you should find time to relax and unwind – but don't fill your entire weekend with sedentary activities.
Hanging out with lazy friends.
If your friends would rather go out to eat all of the time than do anything active, you're not getting the physical activity you could be, and you're not doing your health any favors.
Fix it: Step up to the plate and suggest doing something more active, like a round of golf or a walk downtown. Be the one to incorporate more of these activities into your plans with your friends.
Giving up too soon.
It takes some time for a healthy lifestyle to become habit, and without habit, you're bound to quit too soon. If you give up too soon and resort back to unhealthy habits, your health may suffer.
Fix it: Motivate yourself. Write encouraging notes, surround yourself with a positive support system, or find another motivational method that works for you.
Not being aware of your health.
Many health problems, such as stroke and peripheral arterial disease, are asymptomatic. If you're not staying on top of your health by being aware of your risk for these types of conditions, you could be doing yourself a disservice.
Fix it: See if preventive health screenings are right for you. These health screenings, like the ones offered by Life Line Screening, are fast, affordable and sometimes even life-saving.
