It's Draft Day Open Thread: Threat Level Feaster
June 30 2013 12:29PM
It's been asserted by more than a few people that today is "The Most Important Day In Calgary Flames History", which, by the way, isn't true, but is one of those fork in the road moments for the organization, and need not be taken lighlty.
Flames fans, rightfully so, are TERRIFIED about the developments about to unfold today. Many of them are looking at their watch and wondering if it's too early to hit the sauce. For the record, I'm writing this now because it's too early for the liquor store to be open.
In an effort to kill time and to agitate an entire fanbase, I thought I'd take a minute to offer a little bit of a Draft Primer that touches on the picks held and some of the rumours surrounding the Flaming C.
Those Three Firsties

The Flames, as you all no doubtedly are aware by now, hold the 6th, 22nd, and 28th draft picks in the first round. There's been endless debate as to what should happen to those picks, and needless to say, none of us anywhere have any damn clue as to what is going to happen. The Flames drafted Mark Jankowski last season, so the brass has set a precedent of erratic behaviour that really none of us have a read on.
That said, assuming none of the picks are traded (more on that later), there's a fairly good consensus that the 6th overall pick should yield one of Elias Lindholm, Valeri Nichushkin, or Sean Monahan, with the outside possibilities of Alexsander Barkov or Rasmus Ristolainen getting casual mentions as well.
Jay Feaster, allegedly a GM, has said some petrifying things regarding this pick. As an example, he's been quoted as saying that it will be a factor if the player selected isn't willing to come over to North America right away (via Ryan Rishaug), likely speaking to either Nichushkin or Lindholm, both of whom are better options for the Flames than Sean Monahan, but you know, ENIGMATIC, so...
Another dumb thing that's been rumoured relatively heavily this morning is the 6th pick going to Philly in exchange for Braydon Coburn and (something else). I don't know what the other piece involved would be, but it's not going to be Sean Couturier, and Braydon Coburn is not worth giving up the 6th pick for, so if this happens, I hope you've got your Jager Bombs ready. We're going to need to drink to forget.
There's whispers of a deal between the Flames and the Winnipeg Jets as well. there's no word as to what or who is involved, but it's got to be Olli Jokinen, because why wouldn't it be? Don't trust whatever you see, and if you happen to be in Jersey right now and see Jay Feaster, hit him. Right in the mouth. When you do it, you can say something awesome like "I'm supposed to tell you that Lanny sent me" or something. I don't care, just knock some sense into the man.

On the positive side, there have been rumours as well that the Boston Bruins, inexplicably, are looking to move young Tyler Seguin, and that the Flames are in on him. I'm not sure where the rumour originated from, but it's been talked about enough to talk about here, so shut up and listen!
The deal seems to be Seguin for the 6th, and the adorable Johnny Gaudreau. I know you all know that Flames Nation is high on Johnny Hockey, and if he were traded, a lot of you bought your Gaudreauby Baker shirts and are now nothing but rags to you, but make no mistake, if the Flames could pull off THAT deal, it's a total win. The Bruins allegedly souring on Seguin is their own misguided vision, not Calgary's.
There's a lot of bunk rumours out there that Seguin has a bit of a coke problem and some attitude, and certainly some of the things he says and does will not make him seem like a generally good person, but rumours are rumours, and hockey is hockey, and Seguin can play hockey. He had an off year (this season doesn't count anyway), but this is a Number 1 center waiting to happen, and the relative uncertainty surrounding Gaudreau makes the risk worth it.
22 and 28
No one has a damn clue what's happening with these picks. Our own Ryan Pike and Christian Roatis have profiled several potential targets for the Flames at these picks, and do a better job profiling any of them than I would, so you should check those out if you haven't yet.
The stronger likelihood here is that these picks get dealt. I don't know to whom or to where, but while distressing, it's a lot less to be concerned about than mismanaging the 6th pick. Still, have an extra shot or two ready just in case.
The Flames will also strut their stuff at the podium for picks 67, 135, 157, 187, and 198. There's not a whole lot to note in here, because drafting past even the second round is pretty volatile. Of note, with that third round pick, there's an outside chance the Flames could draft Jordan Subban, but this is mostly interesting because of the name, and not as much because of the player (not that he isn't good)
Also, assuming the team didn't foolishly draft a goalie in the first round (oh yeah, a real possibility. We all joke, because we've run out of tears), this might be where the team selects a goaltender, if they truly believe they need one, which, I don't know, I guess you can never have too many. If a Jussi Saros or Calvin Petersen is still available, it's worth a look at.
Eh Vinny
Pic via Jennifer Kuhn
According to Elliotte Friedman, the Flames are one of the teams interviewing newly employable Vincent Lecavalier today. There are apparently about 8 or 9 teams interested in Vinny (including Atvomobilist, one of the worst and poorest teams in the KHL), but you'd have to believe only a portion of those teams are doing more than kicking tires.
The Flames, I'm sure, would love to sign Lecavalier, and honestly, if it were on a one year deal (two max) at a responsible dollar figure, I'd be okay with it. It seems unlikely that that would be the case, however, as the more teams in on him, the higher the price tag, at which point Feaster and friends should just casually bow out. The team is finally absolving itself of a bad contract era, and bringing in a new one is no way to usher in a new aeon of Flames hockey.
Drink Up
I know I haven't presented an overly rosy portrayal of how this day could shake out for your Calgary Flames today, but I just really don't trust the decision makers on this team. Given the rumours swirling around the team, some dumb quotes by Jay Feaster, MARK JANKOWSKI, and so on and so forth, it's hard to have any kind of confidence inspired.
That's why I'm off to go stock up on supplies. The draft kicks off at 1 PM Calgary time. Make a game out of it. Do your own thing. Me, I'm going to build a bunker out of empties and I'm preparing to hide in it until Connor McDavid is draft eligible.
June 30 2013, 05:39PM
From the Royals!! Love Kanzig... As a Victoria resident, glad I have a player to watch regularly and cheer for!
June 30 2013, 05:40PM
Keegan Kanzig is huge, has no offense to speak of and takes a ton of penalties. What a stupid pick.
huh. More players drafted from QMJHL than OHL so far.
June 30 2013, 05:43PM
Just had to get in on a thread with 500+ comments.
Hehe Poirer
Flames pick a goon. #GRITCHART
@Kent Wilson
According to Eliteprospects, he's both the tallest and heaviest player drafted so far. Three guesses why the Flames picked him *roll eyes*
I refuse to believe the Flames had him ahead of Jordan Subban.
June 30 2013, 05:48PM
9 points in 133 WHL games!! I know he's a defender, but a guy who is THAT offensively challenged in junior must already be absolutely useless north of the redline.
Only way he makes it to the show is as a facepuncher.
According to Eliteprospects, he's both the tallest and heaviest player drafted so far. Three guesses why the Flames picked him *roll eyes*
I refuse to believe the Flames had him ahead of Jordan Subban.
When you google this guy, unlike most prospects, the first results are fight videos as opposed to something from hockeydb, or hockey's future etc...
cammarata is gone.
Just had to get in on a thread with 500+ comments.
Hehe Poirer
Poirier is invited to the Canadian Junior try outs and Klimchuk is not
please tell me it's possible Subban is around in the 4th round...
Yakimov goes to the Oilers.
We don't have a 4th rounder.
derp. 5th round.
If Subban was still around that late, I would think (hope) the Flames would try to trade in, though.
the fact that Brodie is #1 and not Baertschi should answer that for you. Proving things at the pro level matters. Monahan has played 0 pro games.
I don't count Brodie as he has now graduated from the list.
So let's make it #2 then.
At least.
C over LW usually?
At least it is positive on Kanzig.
June 30 2013, 06:02PM
They do, but their take, is uh, at odds with other ones I've seen. Smooth skater? Effective with the puck? Everywhere else says he's painfully slow and has no puck skills to speak of.
I asked Pronman if he even ranked Kanzig in the top-100. He didn't.
Good Skater and Huge. Maybe he is Chris Breen but mean.We did need to draft a Dman...
@Kent Wilson
Not good, 3rd round a little early for an enforcer, especially with 2 7ths.
Hope your right.
$4 million!? Chicago gave that guy $4 mill? Wow I thought Bowman was smarter than that. They were better off with Bolland and Frolik and letting him walk
June 30 2013, 06:17PM
@Brent G.
Yeah, he's going to regret that contract I think.
For the record I wouldn't have picked him but I don't scout junior Hockey either I'll be happy if he plays in the AHL and beats people up!
Also under the header of "Baffling": Jordan Subban hasn't been picked yet.
I'm surprised Fasching hasn't gone yet.
June 30 2013, 06:26PM
Also under the header of "Baffling": Jordan Subban hasn't been picked yet.
Big time.
@Kent Wilson
sigh. And Subban goes to Vancouver.
subban has been picked
June 30 2013, 06:30PM
Vancouver has picked 3 players I would have liked to see the Flames get in this draft.
@Kent Wilson
The 'nucks are doing to this draft what the Habs did to 2012.
So what are we looking at for the 5th round?
June 30 2013, 06:41PM
Why would you ever bother drafting a goon? Just trade a 7th rounder for one, what a waste.
Is Porier Lecavlier's nephew?!?!
June 30 2013, 06:43PM
I wish I could say at this point.
June 30 2013, 06:47PM
Juuse Saros was the top ranked goalie by CSS in Europe this year:
He's short, but had stellar numbers in the Finnish junior league. Maybe Flames will look at him.
June 30 2013, 06:47PM
Flames took Roy 137th overall. One of our dark horses!
This pick may be baffling for the simple fact that it isn't baffling. Good pick. *unties noose*
I believe Saros was already taken, Kent.
99th to Nashville.
Flames took Roy 137th overall. One of our dark horses!
We have been alternating good picks with nonsense so far. Up next, nonsense.
June 30 2013, 06:50PM
@Kent Wilson
Where did Pronman have Roy?
Trouble playing defence.
Everton will be happy with this one, haha.
Poirier doesn't look so bad after Kanzig, I must say. At least he's got talent.
June 30 2013, 07:07PM
Damn, missed that.
June 30 2013, 07:07PM
Another high school kid?
June 30 2013, 07:09PM
Never heard of Tim Harrison.
@Kent Wilson
Can't find anything on him.
June 30 2013, 07:14PM
Found this from 25 june 2012
Tim Harrison, F, '94 (Dexter)—Big 6'2" kid who plays a physical brand of hockey, but also has an offensive touch to his game. We think he will end up on a DI roster, most likely in a third line role.
Going to Colgate next year.
Brenden kichton picked yet?
Looks like he is playing for Colgate next year.

Status of Women

Maria Mourani Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, diaper changing tables were installed in this Parliament building yesterday because I stood up and asked for them, with the support of my Bloc Québécois colleagues.
What is obvious to us now has not always been clear. Women's rights have improved over the years, but only because we fought for them. Even still, the status of women remains precarious. The vast majority of victims of poverty and domestic violence are still women.
One of the first things this Prime Minister did in 2006 was to eliminate funding for women's rights organizations. One day, this institution will have as many women as men. For now, we must continue to take umbrage when anyone tries to prevent the most vulnerable—the vast majority of whom are women—from asserting their right to a dignified life and hope for the future, for themselves and their children.
Our struggle is not over.
Ukraine at a Crossroads
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker,
[Member spoke in Ukrainian]
This evening the Ukrainian Canadian community will be kicking off a pivotal conference here in Ottawa to address the many political, economic and social issues that are facing Ukraine. The conference entitled "Ukraine at a Crossroads" will feature many key Ukrainian parliamentarians, chiefs of staff, journalists and human rights activists, amongst others.
Canada continues to be concerned about the conviction, imprisonment and reportedly deteriorating health of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
With worrisome signs of regression in Ukraine's democratic development, Canada urges the Ukrainian government to strengthen its democratic institutions. As elections approach later this year, Canada will continue to support efforts to build a peaceful, democratic and prosperous society in Ukraine.
I would like to acknowledge the hard work Borys Potapenko of the League of Ukrainian Canadians, Jars Balan of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and Bob Onyschuk from the Canada Ukraine Foundation for making this conference possible.
[Member spoke in Ukrainian as follows:]
Slava Ukraine, Slava Canada.
International Aboriginal Youth Internships

Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, I had the honour to attend the send-off in Victoria of 10 aboriginal youth from across B.C. on CIDA-funded aboriginal youth partnerships to Uganda and Zambia.
After months of training with the Victoria International Development Education Association, these young people were inspiring as they spoke about what had already become a life-changing experience for them. I know they will enrich the lives of the people they work with in Africa, and not least, they will bring back to their own communities in Canada what they have learned.
One young woman told me that her successful internship application had already inspired her peers back home. I commend Lynn Thornton and VIDEA for showing us how a small amount of seed money from the Canadian government can make a big difference to so many people.
St. Paul and District Hospital Foundation
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, this past Saturday I had the honour of attending the fourth annual St. Paul and District Hospital Foundation fundraiser in my riding. After proceeds from tickets, donations and live auctions items were tabulated, the foundation raised $60,000 from the over 300 people who attended.
The money raised will be put toward a monitor for post-operative patients who have had general anesthetics and two Life Pak 12 defibrillator monitors, which are used in each of the trauma rooms in the emergency department for heart attack or cardiac arrest patients.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the St. Paul and District Hospital Foundation and all its volunteers, including Dr. Albert Harmse for his leadership in this role, as well as the community of St. Paul for supporting this important fundraiser that will help to save lives in our community and for partnering to bring the best health care possible to rural Alberta.
Mathieu LeClair

Ted Hsu Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, tragedy has again touched students in Kingston and the Islands.
Last week, we were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mathieu LeClair, a cadet at the Royal Military College of Canada.
Parents are so proud of everything their children accomplish and so is Canada proud of those training to become future leaders of our country.
This training period is not an easy time in life.
I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mathieu LeClair.
To them and the RMC community during this time of mourning, they should know that they have the support of the wider community in Kingston and the Islands, and across the country.
Special Olympics
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brent Rathgeber Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games were held on February 28 to March 3, 2012 in St. Albert, Alberta. Over 640 athletes participated in 7 events, including snowshoeing, floor hockey, alpine skiing, figure skating, speed skating, cross country skiing and curling.
The community of St. Albert, assisted by Strathcona County and the town of Jasper, hosted the athletes, coaches, friends and families from all across the country. It required a dedicated volunteer organization and 700 volunteers to ensure the success of an undertaking of this calibre. All of their time, energy and commitment made this event possible.
I would like to personally congratulate all of the athletes who participated in the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games. I trust that the memories and friendships made will last a lifetime.
I hope the athletes enjoyed St. Albert as much as St. Albert enjoyed hosting them in this unforgettable celebration of athletic achievement. Congratulations to an exceptional Winter Special Olympics. They are all champions.

Jamie Nicholls Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, in October, I had the pleasure of meeting with young people from my riding at the Rigaud youth centre. On that occasion I spoke to them about Canada's political system and my job as a member of Parliament.
It is often thought that young people are only interested in things that can entertain them. That is absolutely not true. Young people are just as interested as adults in participating in public life in their own way.
I would like to ask all hon. members of this House and all Canadians not to judge a person on his or her age. Let us encourage harmony between the generations.
The government should focus on the positive aspects of youth instead of considering them as potential delinquents. Let us give a voice to our young people. Let us work together to give young people their rightful place in society, so that young women and young men in Canada are considered and treated as full citizens.
Provincial Legislative Interns
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Robert Sopuck Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome to Ottawa the legislative interns from the great provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Leezann Freed-Lobchuk, Tim Johnson, Anna Murawski, Kai Olson, Jason Stitt and Andrew Todd are members of the Manitoba legislature's internship program. Also, Elliot Bourgeault, Cody Gieni, Jason Kieffer and Reagan Seidler are participating in a similar program within the Saskatchewan legislature.
Both programs are intended for university graduates so that they can work for and engage with their respective provincial legislatures. By working with MLAs, these interns are exposed to the inner workings of the legislative process in a practical, hands-on manner, allowing them to experience a richer picture of government. Indeed, this knowledge will help equip these young people with the practical experience to engage in public policy development, which has immense benefits for the political vitality of our country.
We are very fortunate to have these young people visit us in Parliament and spend time with our federal parliamentary interns and members of Parliament.
I wish them all the best in their program.

Mark Adler York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, tonight marks the beginning of the festival of Purim, a truly joyous holiday in the Jewish tradition. Purim commemorates a time in ancient Persia when the Jewish people were saved from annihilation. Ancient Persia, as we all know, is now present-day Iran. It has been 2,400 years and still we see an ever-growing threat against the Jewish people, their homeland and the entire region. This is something we simply cannot accept.
It is fitting that Purim falls during a week when President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu have discussed the spectre of violence that is descending on Israel. I sincerely hope that their talks were fruitful and that we will see a peaceful solution to the growing tension in the Middle East.
I urge all members to stand with me in support of international pressure on the Iranian government to halt its nuclear program and to enter into peaceful talks with the government of Israel.

Mr. Speaker, municipalities, especially in Quebec, are very concerned about the implementation of the Canada-wide strategy for the management of municipal wastewater effluent and the accompanying draft regulations.
Even though the Government of Quebec has not yet endorsed the strategy, the federal government is insisting on unilaterally imposing regulations that require the renovation or replacement of one out of four wastewater treatment networks. This represents an investment of $9 billion over 30 years for Quebec alone.
The City of Montreal, Quebec City, the Union des municipalités du Québec and the Fédération québécoise des municipalités recognize that facilities must be modernized. Municipalities are merely asking that the new federal standards be accompanied by an appropriate investment plan.
In the next budget, the Conservative government must announce an investment plan that will help municipalities meet new requirements for wastewater treatment.

Dan Albas Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday was an important date in my riding because it was on March 6, 1955 that the Penticton Vees represented Canada at the World Ice Hockey Championships and defeated the Russians five to zero and came home world champions.
Last night was again March 6, and in spite of it being some 67 years later, the Penticton Vees faced off again in a hockey game that would potentially change history. Much as they did in 1955, the Penticton Vees came through yet again. Last night the Vees hockey club did not just set a new Canadian record, but also a new North American record for the most consecutive wins in junior hockey history with a ten to zero victory.
Canadian Coach Fred Harbinson credits this achievement to 22 kids who are prepared to work hard and have an attitude of commitment to success.
I ask the House to join me in applauding the Penticton Vees Junior Hockey Club for setting a new North American record of 41 consecutive victories.

Mr. Speaker, happy one hundred and second International Women's Day. Who would have thought a hundred years ago that in 2012 women would be able to run for election, have successful careers and be given away as prizes in morning radio contests.
That is right. This is the environment we are asking women and girls of Halifax to live in, one where they are offered up as trophies, that is, their Czech Republic counterparts, anyway.
A radio station in my riding is running the charmingly named "The male is in the Czech" competition, promoting a mail order bride as a prize and using damaging ideas about foreign women's sexuality to titillate Canadian listeners.
As a woman, I am furious. As a Canadian, I want to apologize to all Czech women and to the 50,000 women of Czech descent living in Canada, incredible women like Chaviva Hosek, Hana Gartner, and Halifax's own Lucy Decoutere.
If the bride gets here, Lucy and I would be happy to show her around and we will make sure that she knows something else that Canadian women have won in the last 100 years: the right to a divorce.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay Delta—Richmond East, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to crack down on serious and violent criminals and that is exactly what we are doing.
The safe streets and communities act is comprehensive legislation that will ensure that those who commit sexual offences against children or who operate dangerous meth labs receive sentences that reflect the serious nature of these crimes.
For years, victims have been outraged that those who commit serious offences like sexual assault get to serve their sentences in the comfort of their own homes. We are putting an end to house arrest for such serious offences because we believe that the rights of victims should come first.
We promised Canadians that we would pass these important measures within the first 100 sitting days of our majority mandate. I am happy to say that we will keep that promise.
It is not hard to see why a recent Environics poll shows that 6 out of 10 Canadians support this legislation. I call on the opposition to finally get on side with the majority of Canadians and support our efforts.
World Cup Victory

Frank Valeriote Guelph, ON
Mr. Speaker, the snow had barely settled from Erin Mielzynski's lightning fast final run this weekend when the Guelph native alpine skier achieved what no Canadian female skier has in 41 years: a World Cup victory.
Fulfilling a childhood dream, Erin finished her final run in a breathtaking 53.59 seconds, becoming the first Canadian woman at the top of the World Cup podium since Betsy Clifford in 1971.
Her breakthrough performance in Germany this week is an inspiration to hundreds of young men and women who take to ski hills across Canada with dreams of victory at the Olympics and other international competitions.
Erin has been representing Canada at international competitions since her debut as a member of Canada's alpine ski team at the 2009 World Cup and as a member of the Canadian Olympic team at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
On behalf of the residents of Guelph and all Canadians, I congratulate Erin for her dedication, hard work and superb talent that are responsible not only for her World Cup victory but also her place in the hearts of Canadians.

Also, I have been making a lot more bread than pizza so this question stems from that -- I am looking for a workflow that would work equally well for bread or pizza. I find if I cold proof, that my bread suffers a lot more than my pizza (as compared to all room temp).
I don't understand what the allure of cold fermenting is unless it is just about scheduling.
That being said, I have read some some studies that introduced some uncertainty about how optimal proofing is as the point where retardation should take place (specifically in regards to sourdough and how it is affected by different temps).
Craig, have you cut your 60F dough against cold retard doughs...I know that VPN joints cold retard their dough...And if there is no difference, it seems to be much more convenient to place the dough in a refrigerator at approx 37-40F, than to set up a cooler situation.
Sorry, no it was not, it was with ADY....But tell me on ADY, does it make a difference? Thx, RJelli
Quote from: TXCraig1 on Yesterday at 02:39:47 PMI don't understand what the allure of cold fermenting is unless it is just about scheduling.
Completely agree.
Some have mentioned before that commercial operations use a walk-in temp that is in the 40's instead of the 30's that your fridge is likely set at.
I am sort of wondering how much "younger" on the whole a pizza dough should be from bread. I am kinda coming at my pizza more now like it is bread dough that I happen to make pizza with (Mozza and/or Tartine'ish) and I am not sure if this is good or bad yet. I feel like I learned a lot moving to bread for awhile and have no problem with whole grains and whatnot. The timing of the bulk and proof though seems like it would benefit from being adjusted from bread. I am not sure anymore if I should have the dough really at least double and then shape it or shape it and not let it ferment that much. I hope that makes sense. I know I'll get there but in some ways I feel like I made better pizza when I understood bread making less. I didn't care if the dough was young/er because I didn't really know. I do like a dough that is really "digested" all the way though. Seems to sit with me better and feel lighter.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Wore mine for first time, and I was thinking that maybe I needed larger size. But after reading this review, I think it may indeed be the angle of the sole. My toes felt like they were crammed into these shoes, all day. Can't return them, so looks like I am stuck. Maybe I can cut the toes out to make them more comfortable?
From: Ferd: NC 7/15/14
Comments: these shoes are horrable, vented bottoms are suppoosed to dry feet quicker, they never do!! the angle of the sole makes your feet slide forward, so your toes are jammed in front of shoe!!
From: Ken: MI
Comments: I got a pair of the Zeko Shoes, and I can't seem to take them off! Amazing fishing shoe, and I wear mine to workout in too. Buy them, and you will love them!
From: Steven: Manning,SC
Comments: Got a pair from the factory direct and bought the burgundy color. Nice fit and very comfortable. I like the bottom cut out vents. With other water shoes, the bottoms stayed wet for hours, turning my feet to prunes. Not so with these. Light as feather and durable. Good shoes!

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
Tools for Combating Meth contains practical guidebooks that address issues such as clandestine drug labs, drug dealing in open-air markets and privately owned apartment complexes and identity theft. Other publications included in the toolkit address the environmental dangers involved in meth production and provide best practices for combating meth based on previous COPS funded meth programs.
Each publication can be downloaded here, or requested from the COPS Office Response Center by email or telephone at 1.800.421.6770.
An Evaluation of the COPS Office
Methamphetamine Initiative
This COPS-funded evaluation conducted by the Institute for Law and Justice and 21st Century Solutions evaluates COPS' first six methamphetamine grants. The COPS Office provided funding to six agencies (Phoenix, AZ; Salt Lake City, UT; Dallas, TX; Oklahoma City, OK; Little Rock, AR; Minneapolis, MN) to combat the production, distribution, and use of meth. This evaluation focuses on the histories of the meth problems in these cities and includes detailed process evaluations of each grant's implementation. This report provides insight into the ways in which these agencies responded to their meth problems and should be of great interest to those dealing with similar drug problems in their jurisdictions.
Clandestine Methamphetamine Labs, 2nd
This problem-oriented guide for police addresses the problem of clandestine drug labs. Offenders manufacture a variety of illicit drugs in such labs with methamphetamine accounting for 80 to 90 percent of the labs total drug production. Accordingly, the problem of clandestine drug labs is closely tied with the problems associated with methamphetamine abuse. This guide is an essential tool for law enforcement to help analyze and develop responses to their local clandestine methamphetamine lab problem (2nd Edition).
Combating Methamphetamine
Laboratories and Abuse: Strategies for Success
The COPS Office began funding state and local law enforcement agencies to combat the production, distribution, and use of methamphetamine in 1998. COPS methamphetamine grants encourage law enforcement agencies to use advanced technologies and creative problem-solving strategies to implement resourceful solutions to persistent crime and disorder problems. This publication provides a brief summary of the findings of the national evaluation of six COPS methamphetamine grantees and suggests ways that agencies can better deal with their own methamphetamine problems.
Drug Dealing in Open-Air Markets
Open-air markets represent the lowest level of the drug distribution network. Low-level markets need to be tackled effectively to reduce the harms that illicit drug use can inflict on the local community. This guide describes the problem and reviews the factors that increase the risks of drug dealing in open-air markets. The guide then identifies a series of questions that might assist agencies in analyzing their local problem and reviews responses to the problem and what is known about these from evaluative research and police practice.
Drug Dealing in Privately Owned
Apartment Complexes
This problem-oriented guide for police focuses on drug dealing in privately owned apartment complexes. It clearly distinguishes between open- and closed-drug markets, provides information on what is known about each market type, and offers questions to ask when analyzing each market. It also proposes various responses designed to closed-drug markets and provides a full range of problem-specific measures to determine the effectiveness of those responses.
Methamphetamine Initiative Final
Environmental Assessment
This report assesses the impact on the environment of grant policies under the COPS Methamphetamine Initiative, which encompasses funding for the dismantling of clandestine methamphetamine labs and the associated cleanup of hazardous materials involved in methamphetamine manufacture.
Identity Theft
Identity theft is a relatively new crime, facilitated through established, underlying crimes such as forgery, counterfeiting, check and credit card fraud, computer fraud, impersonation, pick pocketing, and even terrorism. This guide describes the problem of identity theft and reviews factors that increase the risks of it. It is intended to help law enforcement analyze and develop effective responses to their local problem.
Prescription Fraud
Prescription fraud is a significantly growing problem for many law enforcement agencies. This problem-oriented guide for police begins by describing the problem of prescription fraud and reviewing factors that contribute to it. It also identifies a series of questions that might assist agencies in analyzing their local problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about these from evaluative research and police practice.

New in name but not in feel, the Asics GT 1000 delivers a supportive ride with a blend of responsiveness and cushioning familiar to runners who like the Gel 1100 series.
Asics brings a new name to its Gel 1100 stability series, tying it in more closely with the incredibly popular 2100 and newly released 2000 series under the GT prefix. Fans of the 1170 can rest easy with this update - apart from the name change, the GT 1000 does not digress far from its predecessor. It remains a solid option for runners looking for a simple, supportive daily trainer to rack up plenty of miles.
The GT 1000 features Gel units in both the forefoot and heel. You definitely get that classic Asics Gel feel, but the cushioning felt a bit firmer than many other Asics models we've run in, especially in the forefoot. On the flip side, this makes it feel a bit more responsive while still offering plenty of impact protection.
The fit of the GT 1000 is typical of an Asics shoe: moderate volume in the forefoot and narrower towards the rear. Our testers noted that the midfoot was a bit tighter than in the Gel 1170, though this is a minor change and the shoe should still feel like home for Gel 1170 fans along with runners new to the model.
Aside from a snugger midfoot fit and nicer, more flexible overlays around the toebox, the GT 1000 feels identical to the 1170.
The GT 1000 may be less plush than other Asics models, but I liked the firmer and more responsive feel of the shoe - particularly the smaller Gel unit in the forefoot.
The GT 1000 felt around a quarter size long to me. If you like your shoes to fit on the closer side or you're right in between sizes, you might want to consider sizing down.

ALTAMIRANO/AGUILAR Vintage Sterling Silver Armadillo Belt/Necklace
Product Details
The fabulous "Armadillo" motif was designed by Valetin Vidaurreta for Hector Aguilar and permission to produce it was given to silversmith Manuel Altamirano. The beautiful and bold design became very well known and Altamirano made numerous pieces which carried the motif including bracelets, necklaces and earrings. The belt is a more unusual find.
From the 1950's, this beautiful, flowing Vintage piece is made of sterling silver and comprised of 40 round links that connect together by a simple pin hinge. All of the links are the same size, except for the belt buckle which is larger and has a square shaped body. The last link has a sterling hook and the back is stamped "M Altamirano", "TAXCO", "MEXICO" and "925". Originally, made to be worn as a belt, the piece could also double as a long, bold necklace and looks absolutely stunning worn either way.
Measurements: The entire length of the belt is 30". The links measure approximately 1" tall and 7/8" wide and the buckle measures 1 1/2" tall and 1 5/8" wide.
Condition: The overall condition of the belt is excellent. Besides normal surface wear and a few small dings, there is no serious damage to the sterling silver links and the clasp is secure and in good working condition.

Advantages of Hypertonic:
Some research shows that hypertonic (2.7%) or more concentrated solution may help reduce nasal congestion better than isotonic (0.9%) solution. The theory is that hypertonic or higher concentrated salt solution will draw the water out of congested tissue, reduce the edema or swelling and open up the nasal passage and sinus openings to allow for better drainage. It is possible you may experience temporary burning or stinging, in which case, please use our isotonic spray.
Water (Purified), Sodium Chloride ((27 mg/mL)), Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) ((up to 3 mg/mL)).
To moisturize and lubricate dry nasal passages, insert nozzle into nostril and press till adequate solution is sprayed and moisture is restored. Use as often as needed.

The conditions at the Crandall Canyon Coal Mine in Huntington Canyon have rapidly deteriorated from bad to worse. At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 16 another episode of seismic activity took place causing the right rib to explode into the main entry where rescue teams were nearing a shift change. Nine rescuers were injured three of them fatally. The injured workers were taken to the Castleview Hospital. Where one died from injuries shortly after their arrival. Life Flight took one of the miners to the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo. Three were treated and released from Castleview Hospital. The others remain hospitalized. One of the fatalities was listed as a Huntington man and one was an MSHA employee.
The mine was evacuated as soon as the injured workers were taken out of the mine. Rescue attempts have stalled at this point in time on Friday and the fate of the six miners still trapped underground is unknown.
Meetings with the newly injured miners families and the original trapped miners families have been held to keep the families up to date on the latest developments.
There has been no word on when the rescue operations will continue, although the fourth bore hole is still being drilled. Rescue workers were reported to have been given some time off while the situation as the mine is re-evaluated.
A press conference was held on Fri., Aug. 17 at the bottom of the mine road and Utah Governor Jon Huntsman spoke to reporters. "I wish to express, love, sympathy and condolences to the loved ones of those who lost their lives. These men died as heroes. There is no better way to express your love for a fellow human being than to give your life for them. The best way to honor their lives is to stay strong, focused and unified as we continue this rescue operation.
"In recognition of these three heroes, I am requesting the flags of this state to be lowered to half staff," said Gov. Huntsman.
The governor said everything possible will be done. The state will partner with MSHA. Everyone has questions and the answers to these questions will be found. "We will make sure their lives are not lost in vain.
"This week and a half has been filled with pain. We must become better, smarter and safer with the focus first and foremost on the workers safety; this must drive everything else. I have been inspired and humbled by the solidarity and the inspiration of all following this situation. Whatever happens, let us ensure we have no more injuries. Whatever is done above or below, safety is of paramount concern and importance.
"Our state has suffered," said Gov. Huntsman.
Richard Stickler, the assistant secretary of labor, MSHA, said, "At approximately 6:30 p.m. a tragic accident was the result of a mountain bump which dislodged 30 feet of the right rib wall. This blasted across the entry with a force that destroyed the ground support. Three were fatally injured and three continue to be hospitalized. MSHA had two personnel injuries; one was fatal and one serious.
"Our prayers are with the miners and their families and our deepest condolences go out to the miners families. Underground rescue efforts have been suspended indefinitely, we put in the strongest ground support recommended by ground control experts. The plan was developed and implemented to provide maximum safety, but this obviously was not adequate."
Stickler described the horizontal loads were created by vertical loads. They were under an area where the cover is at depths of 2,000 feet. The force of the outburst created the horizontal forces that when released was like an explosion which propelled the materials used to control the sides across the entry and up against the opposite rib. These materials included the water jacks, chain link fencing, wire ropes and all materials used to support the ribs. The rescue workers had just completed the ground control when the seismic activity occurred.
A group of ground control experts will be brought onsite to see if there is any possible way the rescue can safely proceed.
The fourth bore hole was down 600 feet at the time of the press conference. "We hope to find the miners alive with this fourth bore hole. With this hole we can keep them alive until we can start drilling a larger hole, large enought to put a capsule into the hole and bring the men out that way. We will continue to pump air through the holes we already have in place and will monitor the air quality. The efforts of these rescue miners has just been heroic. They worked and gave tremendous efforts to get the injured, buried miners out," said Stickler.
Rob Moore, vice president of Murray Energy said their thoughts and prayers are with the families of the miners. The focus of the company is still on the rescue of the trapped six miners. "Those injured and those who died made the ultimate sacrifice to reach the trapped miners, people who they know and love," said Moore.

THORNTON - Dreams can come true, just ask Lauren Abruzzo.
The Kent Denver senior capped off her already impressive prep career with perhaps the second best effort in all of Colorado High School swimming this year next to Missy Franklin Saturday at the 4A State Championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center.
Abruzzo was one of just two multiple event winners taking the 100 IM in 2:04.25, and then winning the 500 Freestyle in 4:55.11.
"It feels amazing, I couldn't have dreamed up a better finish," Abruzzo said. "I wasn't expecting that time in the 100 and I am so excited about how things went."
Abruzzo helped guide her Kent Denver team to a seventh place finish in the state tournament with 121 team points.
Breathing down Kent Denver's neck was Valor Christian, who wrapped up their season with an 11th place finish.
Behind sophomore Lauren Curtis who swam in two events, Valor finished with 56 team points. Curtis' 200 Medley Relay team finished in fourth place with a time of 1:53.21. And she later finished in 13th place in the 100 Breaststroke.
"We put in place a bunch of goals at the beginning of the season and there wasn't a goal we didn't meet," Valor coach Rob Nasser said. "We are very satisfied with our season."
Thompson Valley won the tournament and their fourth straight 4A state title with a score of an even 300. But it didn't come without a little controversy.
Evergreen, a league rival of D'Evelyn, was forced to forfeit 34 points in the 200 Medley Relay because of a disqualification.
Those 34 points would have won a state championship for an Evergreen team that had to settle for third place with 266 points.
Still, Evergreen senior Lexie Malazdrewicz dominated the tournament and capped off her prep career with nine individual state titles. Malazdrewicz won the 50 Freestyle in 23.63, as well as the 100 Freestyle at 50.15 (both 4A state record times).
Other winners included Cheyenne Mountain in the 200 Medley Relay finishing at 1:45.89. Cheyenne Mountain sophomore Eryn Eddy won the 200 Freestyle at 1:48.34.
St. Mary's Academy junior Alexa Beckwith was the state's best diver for the third straight year finishing with a final score of 491.30.
Thompson Valley won the 200 Freestyle Relay with a time of 1:36.54. Pueblo South senior Mary Saiz won the 100 Backstroke in 56.49.
Montrose senior Logan Morris won the 100 Breaststroke in 1:03.60. And Evergreen won the 400 Freestyle Relay in 3:29.02.

Clogged MG DPF? Compare refurbishment and cleaning prices in seconds.
Thoroughly satisfied with the work carried out at this garage. Job was completed quickly and properly. Customer service was excellent also. Highly recommended.
The VERY best home delivery and service you could ever want! Thank you for the wonderful service, I shall definitely be back! its not often you find a garage that is honest and reliable.
Very professional and completed the job at the time stated and charged the price quoted.
These guys are great! Originally quoted £1200 but as it was an insurance job new parts were required which increased the price but the damage would have been repaired at the original price if required. Robert and his team saved my car from being written off by insurance and they couldn't have done a better job! The car was repaired to a high standard and I was very impressed with the body work and re-spray. The guys did some extras for me as well which was very much appreciated and when some minor adjustments had to be made a few days after returning my car, they were done straight away with no fuss! The use of a decent courtesy car helped me out immensely as well. I would definitely recommend this garage for the fast, efficient, friendly and excellent work they did for me. Thanks again to all who worked on my car and to Robert for being up front about everything - Cheers - Richard.
Good and friendly people. Fast and good skilled brake pads and disks replacement.
Happy young lad who arrived on time. Very helpful and got the job done quickly without fuss. Really convenient to have a mobile mechanic come out to you. I'd definitely use them again, hassle free car repairs.
Very friendly and professional guys. Their tent had broken so had to park under nearby arches to do the job as it was dark and raining. Job was done quickly and effectively. Will certainly be using again and recommend to others. Even managed to reset the service light in the car saving me a trip to the dealer.
Akash and his partner were excellent, they arrived promptly and were very polite, they kindly explained everything that was wrong and what they were going to do to fix it and made sure I understood everything before they started. they were quick, efficient and very professional I 100% recommend them to anyone who wants work done, my car is now running perfectly with no issues ! Thank you for the great service
Highly recommended. Very competitive quote, very flexible with timings (came out on a Sunday afternoon) and generally really friendly/helpful. Extremely happy with the job.
Excellent work! Very friendly and professional guys!
Exceleklent service and quick turnaround. Would definitely use again
Really quick to respond to my questions and patient with how many I had. I am very new to the area and was nervous about using a different garage (last one has been one my family used for years). Can safely say I have found my new garage! Car was fixed promptly, all the costs were explained - they even seemed worried I would be upset with the cost when in fact I was surprised at how cheap it was! - work was great, my car sounds and feels great again. Thank you so much!
Dropped by. Got Brakes done there and then. Very Friendly and Efficient Service! PS could do with a customer wait area ;)
Prompt, excellent work, quick delivery - do what they say on the package. I have a garage that I can trust!!!
Even the job not been done (I did it myself) they were really attentious.
Helpful at providing advice!
Nice people, happy with the work, would use again
Polite and friendly. They were readily available and serviced my car in just a couple of hours. They did replace the wiper blades without first asking to an additional cost of £50 which was annoying but i suppose they needed a change. All in all, a useful service. Thanks.
Excellent service and really good value. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone who requires some body work. They were great.
Paul and Charlie were very quick to respond to all my queries and called me to let me know when there was an issue which required a part change rather than landing me with a surprise later. I found them polite, courteous and most importantly fair and honest.
Friendly and efficient service, wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Paul was really helpful and had the fan and re-wiring done within a couple of hours and I picked my car up the same day. They also cleaned it for me which was an added bonus and greatly appreciated! Im sticking with this garage from now on!
Like most car owners, I have my preferred garage but tried Paul and his team when my usual place couldn't urgently schedule a repair to pass an MOT. Paul took the car in the next day, talked me through the whole process, gave me options and completed an excellent job exactly when he said he would. Would highly recommend.
I have used Paul and Central Car Care a number of times now. They offer a fantastic service and nothing is too much of an issue for the customer. The only surprise is the cost, given they are in Kensington..... always value for money! Thanks again.
Tried the suggested remedies but didn't solve the problem.
Good job!
Great quality and quick job, everything as described.
Good service, happy with the result.
I picked these chaps as they were reasonably close and had a good rating. I assumed they would call me as the email I received said but no one ever called and so I used someone else. I would give zero stars but the website won't let me.
Job got done on time as promised, recommended.

Mark King is the special guest at next week's Rob da Bank Music Club.
LEGENDARY Level 42 bass player, Mark King, is the special guest at Bestival curator Rob da Bank's free music club next week.
The club, set to take place at Quay Arts, Newport, on Tuesday, February 26 between 5pm and 7pm, is run in partnership with the Isle of Wight Youth Trust and gives youngsters aged between 14 and 18 the chance to get into music — with this month's club focusing on how to produce Drum 'n' Bass.
Also appearing at the music club will be DJ Karma, who will show how to make synth sounds and big basslines with hard wire synthesisers and a groove and rhythm workshop from The Ohmz.
There will also be a rap workshop with the Isle of Wight's own Born in a Barn, and music video workshops with the AV Circus.
Rob said: "My music club is the place you need to be on the Isle of Wight if you want to get into music. It's that simple."
Free squash and snacks are also provided. Isle of Wight Radio will also be at the club to record performances between 6.30pm and 7pm.
Taxi companies have offered free lifts from local schools to the club and back as well.
Anyone who would like to perform at the event, help present the accompanying radio show, or find out about a taxi, can contact organisers at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Future dates for the club are on March 26, April 30, May 29 and June 26.

This product is also available in these versions:
The Last Fourfathers, CD (£7.43)
THE LAST FOURFATHERS is unarguably the best set of British rock'n'roll (not to mention garage punk, psych, mod soul and general Hammond-fuelled frenzy) of the past 20 years. For once, objectivity don't come into it. What would you match it against, anyhow? The Stone Roses' debut? Don't make me laff! Oasis's first album? Oh, pleeze! As you're no doubt aware, there are a multitude of records which are costly to track down, a significant percentage of which, musically speakin', simply ain't worth the vinyl they're cut on. However, the Kentish lads' third magnum opus, originally released to little or no mainstream acclaim by the band's Own Up label during 1985, is a different kettle of frogspawn entirely. That's why you can currently expect to pay around £100 for a pristine vinyl example, or even part with up to ¬£50 for a copy of the band's own CD reissue from the early 90s.
Now, thanks to the good folks at Big Beat, you can enjoy the Prisoners' finest hour - a masterful mix of suss, soul, freakbeat wigouts, arresting organ instrumentals and sly wit - without having to empty yer wallet. "You, lucky, lucky people" as the great Tommy Trinder might've said!
Following on from their impressive debut set of 1982, A TASTE OF PINK!, and 1993's slightly overblown Thewisermiserdemelza, not to mention a never-ending trawl around the lowspots of Britain and Europe, 'Fourfathers finally saw the Prisoners capturing their awesome live attack on a micrgroove longplayer.
Impeccably produced by ex-Milkshake Russell Wilkins, 'Fourfathers finds Graham Day's paint-strippingly soulful vocals and lysergic guitar facing-off against Jamie Taylor's incisive, irresistibly pumping Hammond grooves, over the rock solid yet fluid drive of bassist Alan Crockford and drummer Johnny Symons.
Kicking off with the relentlessly funky Nobody Wants Your Love (Graham's only co-write with fellow Medway Delta mensch Billy Childish), 'Fourfathers takes the listener on a trip which still reflects an exciting alternative reality for homegrown rock'n'roll. One wherein the Small Faces, The Pink Floyd, 60s soul, the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Smash Hits (in mono, natch), the Pretty Things, the first two Nice albums and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown are unassailable talismans, as is the right to dance yer legs off.
In fact, 'Fourfathers remains the perfect antidote to the outright non-grooviness of modern 'white boy' music, by proving that 'vanilla' hipsters can, indeed, sing the blues (not to mention some of the greens, and a bit of purple, too).
As Dean Rudland rightly notes in his customarily acerbic and informative sleeve notes, during the 80s, for a young & righteous music fan, there was nothing to touch the Prisoners. Such likeminded misfits as Thee Milkshakes, the Stingrays and the Playn Jayn didn't even come close, sorry!
'Fourfathers was glued to my turntable for countless months after its release, so fully did it inform and soundtrack my miserable teenage existence. And that's not to mention the fervour with which it sent me out on a quest to uncover the musical fountainhead from whence the Prisoners had quaffed, both long and deeply.
A couple of other disaffected youngsters who undeniably felt the same, and subsequently enjoyed considerable chart success with a much simplified and watered-down take on the Prisoners' sonic stew, were Tim Burgess (the Charlatans) and Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets). Later still, Kula Shaker turned Graham and co's searing, show-stopping arrangement of Joe South's Hush into a #2 hit. And if that last claim sounds a little overblown, lend yer lugs to the astonishing live take of Hush which is included as one of the Big Beat reissue's amazing bonus tracks, and then tell me I ain't got no ears!
All 'celebrity' endorsements aside - and reflecting on a strange old career, one which has found me chewing toothpicks with Dan Penn and quaffing Guinness avec Dr John - I'm real proud to confirm that 'Fourfathers is still one of my favourite albums. It continues to sound as fresh and classy as the day when I first heard it. And if that's a bit too 'gushy' for ya, tuff titty!
