Report: Oilers pursuing Ray Emery
Jonathan Willis
July 04 2013 10:33AM
TSN's Darren Dreger passed on some unsurprising news on Thursday morning: the Edmonton Oilers are in pursuit of Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Ray Emery.
Action on Ray Emery. Philly, Isles and Oilers believed to be chasing. Hawks also in discussions to re-sign Emery. Good to have options.#TSN— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) July 4, 2013
When I looked at free agent goalies early last month, Emery was one of the names I considered, and had perhaps the most interesting track record. From that piece, here's a chart that shows the variance in goaltender even-strength save percentage over the last three seasons:
That black line shows the gap between the best and worst performance, and offers both the most compelling reason to sign Emery and the best excuse to stay away from him. Looking at it optimistically, Emery is the guy other than Mike Smith who has had the best single-season even-strength save percentage – albeit over just a 10-game sample in Anaheim in 2010-11. He also has nearly the worst numbers on the chart, a 0.899 save percentage posted during 2011-12 with Chicago. This year, he was back at the top of his game, and that's presumably why NHL teams are interested.
How good is Emery, really? I'm a big believer in looking at long-term performance – goalies fluctuate up and down, but over time their track record reveals quality.
Emery has faced 4,572 shots at even-strength since the 2004-05 NHL Lockout. League average even-strength save percentage in that span is roughly 0.919; Emery's save percentage is 0.920, making him slightly better than a league-average goalie. That's not the same as saying Emery is average – because starters play more minutes than backups a league average save percentage generally indicates a guy in the 1A/1B range, better than the typical backup but not as good as a legitimate starting goalie. Nor is there much sign of drop off in Emery's game; over the first half of the span we're looking at he was a 0.921 EVSV% goalie while over the last half he was a 0.919 EVSV% goalie.
Based on performance, Emery is probably a hair worse than incumbent goalie Devan Dubnyk; if the Oilers added him he likely would settle into a 1B role, pushing and challenging Dubnyk but not supplanting him as starter. Prior to some lower body trouble that cost Emery nine games this season, he's also been pretty healthy the last three years.
Put it all together and, dependent on contract, Emery looks like a strong addition to the Oilers.
Another possible goaltending name was suggested by Ryan Rishaug:
Another solid add would be G Jason Labarbera. Solid veteran, great in room, lots of experience, will push but support Dubnyk.— Ryan Rishaug (@TSNRyanRishaug) July 4, 2013
LaBarbera has faced slightly fewer shots than Emery post 2004-05: 3,541 at even-strength. Emery's save percentage was 0.920, league average is roughly 0.919 and LaBarbera's numbers over that span are 0.918. In other words, we're splitting hairs here, with Emery just narrowly better than league average and LaBarbera just narrowly worse. Interestingly, LaBarbera got a vote of confidence from Dubnyk:
I don't know who they want. There's not that many out there, free-agent wise. I know Jason LaBarbera is a great guy, he'd be great in the room. There's Hedberg; Khudobin, who is the same age as me.
Despite the differing perceptions of Emery and LaBarbera, either would provide the Oilers with a backup who could both spell and push Dubnyk; depending on contract either would be a strong addition in Edmonton.
Recently around the Nation Network
At NHL Numbers, Rex Libris analyzes 10 years of drafting (from 1979 to 1989), and finds something interesting:
One main item that stands out in this initial stage of analysis is that there is no direct and necessary causal realtionship to drafting success and organizational success, although there is a stronger correlation to drafting failure and organizational ignominy. Teams like the Canadiens, Red Wings and Nordiques were among the best drafting teams and later became successful on account of that ability. At the same time the Sabres, Rangers, and Bruins were also among the top of the drafting class during the same period but in large part did not reap any significant rewards as a result of this ability.

The Oilers got rid of a cancer in the room today.The mistake would have been bringing Eric back this year. And MacT does know that he can get value for Hemsky and Horcoff. Just wait and see
I can't believe free agency hasn't even started yet and people are already all over MacT. Give the guy a chance
They still have time to offer Horc the same deal. Hopefully they can accomplish moving 83 and 10 out. This team needs to make a fresh start without this baggage setting the tone in the dressing room.
The guys that are brought in to replace these guys should be on short term deals/just a body to keep the roster spot warm. Create a vacancy/opportunity for someone else inside or outside of the organization.
July 04 2013, 05:10PM
My thoughts on Horcoff and Hemsky:
They will get traded, but I believe it will come after all the anarchy of free agency and the trades for the upper echelon players is finished.
Once teams lock up most of their rosters they will know what they can trade.
Don't hate on Mac-T. I don't believe it's him. I believe it's the worth of the assets that's holding back any deal(s).
Tomorrow could be alot of fun for Oilers fans or a massive disappointment! Can't wait for the carnage!!!
July 04 2013, 06:14PM
Well scratch that. Sounds like Horcoff is off to Dallas as per Bob Mackenzie.
July 04 2013, 06:17PM
No details yet, but word from Bob is a draft pick. Gotta imagine Oilers eat some salary.
I wonder how much more active Dallas will be.

A hero ain't nothing but a sandwich. And the bigger the hero, the more valuable the sandwich.
In 1992, McDonald's offered a McJordan Burger.
The sandwich was a quarter-pound of beef along with cheese, onion, pickles, barbecue sauce and bacon.
The dish came in limited markets, making the secret sauce limited as well.
Jeremy Mikula of csnchicago.com reports that an entrepreneur is putting up a gallon of that sauce on eBay for $10,000.
Mikula points out that the sandwich should not be confused with the Beef Wennington (named after Bill) that had the same ingredients except it had Canadian bacon.
The jug of Jordan sauce has never been opened, if that makes a difference in a 20-year-old product.

Skip to comments.Obama Says He Will Not Accept VP Spot
Posted on 03/08/2008 1:13:09 PM PST by Anti-Hillary
Campaigning in Casper, Wyo., Friday night for the 12 delegates to come out of Saturday's Democratic county caucuses, Sen. Barack Obama refused the notion of becoming the vice presidential candidate on this fall's party ticket. Obama was asked by a television reporter, "Can you ever see yourself on the same ticket as Sen. Clinton?" And the freshman Illinois senator replied: "Well, you know, I think its premature. You wont see me as a vice presidential candidate -- you know, Im running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count." Many Democrats have long thought of Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama as a dream ticket, offering both the first serious female candidate and the first serious African American candidate for the nation's top two political offices. Clinton surprisingly broached the idea Wednesday morning after she won the popular vote in Texas and Ohio to regain some momentum after 11 straight ... losses, though she still lags far behind in pledged delegates. She mentioned the possibility of a joint ticket again Friday morning during a campaign appearance in Mississippi. Last night was the first time Obama commented on the idea. It's political protocol when presidential candidates are asked about the vice presidency to twist the question back around to the top office and avoid a direct answer. But Obama's response last night was unusually direct and dismissive. The 46-year-old candidate is expected to do well in Wyoming today, as he has done in virtually every caucus state.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
He's lying. He'd take it in a heartbeat.
Yeah, well this is the same B. Huseein who swore up and down that he would not ever run for President until after he completed his, still uncompleted, first Senate term.
I don't think he's lying. Why would any sane person want to be Hillary's vice-president? Hillary is an arrogant witch for stating the idea that way.
Maybe SHE would be the one needing a VP spot.
"The flag is up!"
No Michelle won't accept it !
"Well, you know, I think its premature. You wont see me as a vice presidential candidate — you know, Im running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count."
Parse it carefully. He doesn't say he won't accept the vice presidency. He says it's premature. He says he's running for president. He says he's ahead of hillary in the popular vote and number of states. He says he has more delegates than she does and thinks he can maintain that.
He does NOT say he will never accept a VP slot.
I'm not so sure about that. Although, for strategy he has to say he won't take it.
Also, I wouldn't put it past Billary to choose someone else if this ploy helps her get the nomination. What Billary says in a campaign has no bearing on what they really will do.
Agreed. He'd take it because the party would press him for it, as a shot at 16 years in power.
However, he is beating her, and polls still show him the stronger candidate. Sen. Clinton will be begging him for the slot.
"Hes lying. Hed take it in a heartbeat."
I don't think so. It would be a big mistake for him.
Have you read the entire recent New Yorker piece, where Michelle O is quoted as saying, in reference to Bill, that she, "wants to scratch his eyes out".
Hes lying. Hed take it in a heartbeat."
I don't think so. I think Hillary would have a hard time finding anyone who would turn their back on Billary in a dark hallway.
Anybody who would put Hillary in the VP spot behind them has a death wish.
The VP position under Hillary will be the end of anyones political career. He's smarter than I thought he was.
(...think it through, folks.)
HMMM lets see, VP or COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, round and round it goes where it stops no one knows. I know ask your spiritual advisor Oprah and her new age friends I'm sure they can whip out the ol crystal ball and give you a view of the future. Wizards and whiners
who would want to fight Bill Clinton for the last bagel every morning?
If Obama accepted the Beast's offer to be VP, his supporters would look at it as the biggest sell-out in the history of politics.
He's young. He has lots of races ahead if he doen't win this one. He doesn't need to play second-fiddle to Hillary.
people do strange things after landing in bed together...
Which is why I get a chill when folks compare them being on the same ticket with JFK and LBJ.
Not to mention the mischief he could cause her by staying in the senate.
True. Hillary would not be someone I'd want to work near, or for. (not totally hooked on McCain either for the Graciousness Award)
i don't think Obama is so stupid as to forgo $5 to $15 million annual income for 4 years, while dealing Bill Clinton's latest faux pas or undermining the VP office for 1,460 days nonstop.
Under Hillary it would be a Vice President in name only, her husband would be the unelected vice president.
I think McCain has a rotten temper and is a bit loopy, but at least there is not a Mysterious Deaths list associated with him . . . .
What if Hillary wins the nom and Mc Lain Picks Obama
Exactly. He'd be an idiot to say, at this point, Yes I would accept being second fiddle to Hillary. That would be a diminishing statement to make, at a point where he is ahead in the race. He did not see he would not accept the VP slot ever — he just said it's premature to talk about that now. Nothing else to see here, folks, move along.
Bleh, I can't type today.
"He did not SAY he..."
Wht? I can think of no job less relevant than VP in a dual Clinton Whitehouse. He'd probably be put in charge of maintaining Bill's humidor.
He has no relevant experience to even be considered as President. Everyone was surprised by him. He'd take a VP spot in a heartbeat. IMO.
Like who cares.
I think O'bama would rather stand in front of Michael Moore at a Dunkin' Donuts line than stand between HRC and the Oval Office.
He is not lying.
The headline should have read:
The woman who wears the pants in his family will not allow
her husband, Barack Obama, to play second fiddle to the woman who wears the pants in the Clinton family.
Get prepared. We are going to be the gleeful witnesses to the best cat fight in history before all is said and done.
This run is stepping stone. It gets his name out.
Then I will urge hillary to pick Fred.
"Hes lying."
About being the veep, his real religion, performing oral sex on a guy when he was doing drugs, or all of the above?
I'd comment, but extrapolation on that statement is sick.
Looks like a classic example of the white man trying to keep a brother down!
It would be suicide to take her on as VP. She'd drag him down at the polls, and would get him whacked later if they won.
Well, let's not rush to judgment.If O'Bambino takes the VP spot, let's wait for Rush to tell us whether or not we should vote for the Hillarious/Bambino ticket.
You have nailed it!!! Michelle who wants to "scratch Bill's eyes out" will never let her man be relegated to second fiddle.
Wait until the black community calls the HillBilly's racist for making a black man take second place. This thing is going to spin out of control real fast!
This is standard Clinton tactics. Bill Clinton said earlier today that a Clinton-Obama ticket would be hard to beat. They are trying to appeal to the super delegates and the voters that you can nominate Hillary and get Obama as a twofer. The only problem is that Hillary is trailing in delegates and the popular vote.
Nice of Hillary to offer Obama the VP spot when she isn't even going to be the nominee.
I don't think so. Can you imagine working for Bill and Hill? No one is that stupid.

Jason Smith arrived in a trade from Toronto (a 2nd and a 4th) in 1999, his third team in three seasons. An under the radar transaction led to a perfect fit for player and team that culminated in the "C" and a long Stanley run. It was the best of times.
The day Edmonton traded for Jason Smith, there were many, many deals that got more press. On that deadline day in 1999, Detroit added Chris Chelios, Ulf Samuelsson, Wendel Clark and Billy Ranford. Colorado acquired Dale Hunter, Buffalo picked up Joe Juneau, Vincent Damphousse went to San Jose, Steve Duchesne to Philadelphia.
Way way down the list, Jason Smith to the Oilers for a 2nd and a 4th.
Jason Smith played in the NHL (with NJD) at age 20. In an October win against Washington, Smith was -2 in his NHL debut. By season's end he had played 41 games and was a plus 7, with a bright future ahead. As happens with many young defensemen, injuries played a part in Jason Smith's career in a big way. He missed most of the following season (94-95) after suffering a knee injury in practice November 1994. In 95-96 he played well enough to be a regular but struggled the following year and found himself traded to Toronto February 1997. At the 1999 deadline he was on the road again.
The Leafs were a strange team during that time, making all kinds of curious deals they'd regret and Smith was one of them. A quality NHL defender is worth more than a 2nd and a 4th but that was the pricetag. Jason Smith was quality for 7 seasons in an Oiler uniform and the Oilers enjoyed the heart of his career.
Jason Smith went to war for the Edmonton Oilers. Reliable defensively and more than capable of handling the physical game, Smith's edgy play (he once punched the back of an oppenent's head about 10 times in a row at the end of the game--ref's hand is up, time is ticking off the clock, the puck is loose in the slot, the opposition forward is trying to find it--but Smith kept punching him in the back of the head!) made him a fan favourite early, and the fact that he was a stand up guy made him a natural leader.
"Gator" became well known as a guy who played through pain and injury routinely.
- Drafted 18th overall, 1992
- WHL All-Rookie Team, 1992
- WHL First All-Star Team, 1993
- Canadian Major Junior First All-Star Team, 1993
- Bill Hunter Trophy (Top WHL Defenseman), 1993
- Won a gold medal with the Canadian WJC team, 1993
- Won a Calder Cup with the Albany River Rats, 1995
- Captain of that wonderful 2006 Oiler team
- Played in his 1000th NHL game, 2009
- Captained his junior team, his AHL team, and two NHL teams
- Longest serving captain in Oilers history (2001-07)
Asked how he could play with two dislocated shoulders Smith replied "No excuses, I'm still living."
When Jason Smith arrived in Edmonton he was battle-hardened, had leadership qualities, had learned to deal with injury, had a boatload of defensive talent and was willing to do damn near anything to establish himself in Edmonton.
He played like that every night he was here, even after his body began to show signs of age and wear. He is fondly remembered as one of the toughest players to wear the uniform.
May 03 2013, 06:53AM
An absolute Beauty! Loved everything about his game.
My favourite Oiler of all time. I know he isn't the most flashy, and definitely isn't the most skilled, but he IS Oiler hockey. True definition of a warrior.
One of the best defensemen to ever wear Oiler colors, in my opinion. My source in the organization tells me he was one of the strongest players he'd seen come through the door, and pain threshold was second to none. Second to none! I'd love to see him back with the organization. Maybe an assistant coach?
"The guy's amazing. He has the pain threshold of a dead animal."

The "FIST to back of head" drill should be incorporated into every practice.
They've never even come close to replacing Gator. :(
This series looks like a what is missing/wishlist for the current version of the team.
May 03 2013, 07:33AM
"No excuses, I'm still living"
Classic gator. Sure do miss that guy.
May 03 2013, 07:48AM
He looks moved at the end of that tribute video - stellar captain, and glad he got the "C" in Philly too! Nobody wanted to play that guy. Beauty.
His greatest games came in the 06 Cup run. I suspect anyone could look good next to Pronger but Smith appeared to take his game to a new level that spring. They were dominant.
May 03 2013, 11:31AM
The Oilers should add him to the coaching staff. They need to teach some of these young guys to care like Gator did. I loved every part of his game. I loved the intimidating smile he had. What a beauty
May 03 2013, 03:37PM
Was an absolute Beast! Supreme warrior and tough as nails. One of my all time favorite Oilers! One of my favorite gator memory is when one year in the playoffs he blocked a shot and it hit him in the face. Gushing blood lip split wide open goes to the bench. Not going to the dressing room trainers and med staff get him to the hall way and all you see is a towel held up and smith getting stiched up right there! Came back to the bench lip sewn and hanging like something frankenstein has and back on the ice. My dad and I were asked why he didn't go to the back? We replied, "It's Smith, the playoffs, and he's breathing". One of the greats this team ever had in my opinion. Needs to be in the coaching staff... Would not object to see that number in the rafters if ever brought up.
P.S.- Remember: Chuck Norris always checked under his bed and the boogeyman checked it's closet for Jason Smith.
May 03 2013, 04:03PM
Anyone know how the assault and battery charge against his wife turned out. Never heard anything after the initial charges. Are they still together?
Chuck Norris wears Gator PJs!!!
May 03 2013, 09:27PM
@Robin Brownlee
Thanks Robin
Good to see another family man back where he belongs.
Absolute warrior.
One of my favourite memories is actually not one of the most flattering of him, but in his final few games as an Oiler: can't remember who the Oil were playing or what the result of this particular play was, but the Oilers turned the puck over leading to a rush the other way, and Petr Nedved, seeing Smith struggling to make it up the ice fast enough, pushed him with his stick from behind to give him a boost. Classic moment, hilarious.
All I see besides memories,very good memories,is a perfectly executed body check on the half boards or blueline with an EXCELLENT recovery.
This is the way the NHL is evolving,we need to reaquire the template for players like this and start finding these men.With the recent evolution towards controlled zone transitions,stand-up hitting is now mandatory,small or medium sized d-men chasing guys will just get you penaltys,you need to RUB GUYS OUT of the play and land them on their asses or you arent getting the job done right,watch Gator,he FINISHES guys by putting them on the ice so he can recover back into the play first,thats not so dam hard to do if you play that way.
Watch his elite recoverys from throwing those hits and you will see WHY he stepped up to throw them.hahaha,and watch the retaliations guys try to make.
Gator cant make those hits unless he can recover first before his opponent,so remember this and how hard he is working after contact when you make your public votes about the direction our team needs to go in.Specific playing styles lend themselves to this stand-up checking and recovery ability.
Thanks for the Memories, when i think Gator I think Ethan Moreau,and I see us with a Cup today with just those two men and todays roster,ha ha ha.
I asked Gator once in 2000, why he wasn't hitting guys like he used to.
He told me he was playing with one arm that year.
This current team could use another guy like him!
Man was he one tough dude!!!! I remember him needing stitches in the 06 run, but he would not go to the room!!! got his stitches in the hall behind the bench and back to war!!! We need a GATOR!!!!!
May 03 2013, 11:24AM
I have only one autographed stick: Jason Smith. It hangs next to a picture of him leaning into but refusing to touch the Campbell Bowl.
Loved this guy; probably my all-time favourite. Shot wouldn't break glass but there was no one tougher. I used to play NHL 2000 for PC and even his cyberface had a black eye and stitches
May 03 2013, 07:25PM
Anyone know how the assault and battery charge against his wife turned out. Never heard anything after the initial charges. Are they still together?
ctvedmonton.ca Published Wednesday, October 27, 2010 10:59AM MDT
Assault charges against former Oilers captain Jason Smith have been withdrawn after he agreed to abide by conditions in a one-year peace bond.
A court heard that Smith was charged back in August following an alcohol-fuelled physical altercation with his wife Wendy.
He was released shortly after his arrest and had to abide by a court-ordered separation that prevented Smith from having contact with his wife or visiting their Ontario residence. The couple is now living together in the Ottawa region. Smith must now continue domestic violence counselling, abstain from alcohol and report to a probation officer.

The Emery Heat recently completed a successful Super League Season for the Rocky Mountain School of Baseball. Coached by Dave Hreinson, Shon Roper and Kelly Mortensen, the team ended the regular spring season with a 14-2 record, giving them first place in the southern region and ranked third in the state for the 9-year old division. Because of their success, the team was invited to participate in the Tournament of Champions held July 20-22 in Heber City.

Emery won their first game against the Spanish Fork Sugar Kings 11-1, dropping the second game to the Utah Rebels, 10-3. They lost their third game to the Northern Utah Padres, 5-4 and beat the Orem Titans 6-3. With a 2-2 record, they advanced to the semi-finals as number three seed. They beat the number-one ranked team in the state, the Utah Black Sox, 6-4, and advanced to the finals. They faced the Northern Utah Padres again, losing 13-7 in the championship game. The results from the tournament pushed the Heat into a second place state ranking in the 9-year-old division.

Chapter 6
Bear one another's burdens—As you sow, so shall you reap—Be not weary in well-doing.
1 Brethren, if a man be
2 Bear ye one another's
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man
5 For every man shall
6 Let him that is taught in the word
7 Be not
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither
16 And as many as walk according to this rule,
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Easy bruising sometimes indicates a serious underlying condition, such as a blood-clotting problem or a blood disease. Consult your doctor if you:
These signs and symptoms can indicate low levels of or abnormally functioning platelets — components of blood that help it clot after an injury — or problems with proteins that help the blood clot. To diagnose the cause of your bruising, your doctor might check your blood platelet levels or do tests that measure the ability of your blood to clot.
Other serious causes of bruising include domestic violence or abuse. If a loved one has an unexplainable bruise, particularly in an unusual location such as on the face, you might ask about the possibility of abuse.
To prevent minor bruising, eliminate household clutter that could cause bumps or falls. Long-sleeved shirts and pants can provide an extra layer of protection for your skin.
Once a bruise has formed, however, not much can be done to treat it. Most bruises eventually disappear as your body reabsorbs the blood — although healing might take longer as you age. It might help to elevate the affected area and apply ice. If the sight of a bruise bothers you, cover it with clothing or makeup.
You might not be able to eliminate easy bruising. However, taking simple steps to protect your skin and avoid injury can help you try to stay bruise-free.

Sherrington: Rangers should go 'all in' on Zack Greinke, but Dodgers a big threat
SportsDay columnist Kevin Sherrington answered reader questions during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
Now that LAA are no longer in the Greinke hunt what are the Rangers chances of signing him? And if they do will they still open their wallet to Josh?
Kevin Sherrington: I wouldn't say that the Angels are no longer in the hunt. In fact, I'd be shocked if they weren't. They've already lost two starters and C.J. Wilson is coming off surgery. But it's one of the reasons the Rangers should go all in. They need a top-of-the-rotation type starter, and you'd be hurting your primary rival in the division. The Dodgers really want him, though, and I can't imagine why he wouldn't want to pitch there
What are the Rangers' plans for David Murphy next year?
Kevin Sherrington: Good question. His name has come up in trade talks, specifically with Tampa Bay, which could use some solid outfield help on the cheap. I would imagine he'll end up the starting left fielder no matter who's playing center. The Rangers don't have a lot of hitters from the left side, and he made progress last year toward being an every-day player.
Are we concerned that the Cubs and Rangers seem to have a pipeline between them? Thought Soto was so-so, but I'm worried we'll get some of their high-priced has-beens.
Kevin Sherrington: Do you think Cubs fans might be saying the same after getting Scott Feldman?

Yael Ben Nun directs JDC's Better Together program in Israel's South. The program addresses the needs of children and adolescents living in disadvantaged neighborhoods by providing them with top-notch pre-school frameworks, school-readiness support, and constructive extracurricular activities. It also helps parents acquire more effective coping skills.
Yael herself lives close to the Gaza border. With the ceasefire holding, she reports that life there has nominally returned to normal: children are back in school, mothers are back at work, and parents are accompanying their children to after-school programs.
Teenagers, however, have been hesitant to resume their regular activities, so Yael says that she and her staff will be redoubling their efforts to recruit group participants.
"Israelis have a remarkable ability to return to routine after a crisis," Yael notes. Yet when night falls, it quickly becomes apparent that the effects of the war are still deeply felt. Mothers report that their children often cry and are afraid to go to sleep; they themselves seem to hear alerts everywhere — even though the sirens are thankfully silent.
Like her neighbors and colleagues, Yael was in and out of bomb shelters throughout the crisis, and with her husband on reserve duty, she had to care for their four young children by herself. Despite her own worries, Yael was constantly in touch with her staff in the field, as well as her clients, who updated her regularly on what was happening in their neighborhoods.
These reports testified to what Better Together has already achieved – participants in the program were better able to cope with the emergency situation than many other residents of the South. They followed emergency instructions calmly and carefully, tried to maintain their household routine, and looked after their neighbors' needs.
Of course, Yael warns, it is much too early to know what long-term impact the recent crisis will have on those who have been enduring rockets and terror for so many years.
JDC will be implementing post-trauma programs across the region, developing new frameworks when necessary and working to expand successful programs like Yael's in collaboration with local authorities, schools, and social service agencies.

Butchers Broom Root (Ruscus aculeatus)Latin Name: Ruscus aculeatus
Common Names: Butchers Broom Root
Butchers Broom Root comes from a plant known to botanists as Ruscus aculeatus, which is actually a member of the asparagus family and distantly related to lilies. While often categorized with other quality bulk herbs, Butchers Broom Root is actually a woody evergreen shrub that is found primarily in deep forests and near temperate coastlines.
Ruscus aculeatus has mildly astringent, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. Ancient Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder wrote of this particular herb in his work Naturalis Historia, describing its ability to reduce the swelling in diseased limbs.
Natural herbs such as Ruscus aculetus powder should be treated with the same caution as prescription drugs; no more than 800 milligrams twice a day with food is recommended and this particular dried herb seems to be most effective when used with other botanical products such as garlic and gingko biloba. As a responsible bulk herbs supplier of organic herbs, roots and other extracts, Starwest Botanicals recommends consultation with a licensed herbalist and a naturopathic physician prior to starting any kind of herbal therapy.

After Stan's father, Ed Foster, was killed in a mining accident when he was 6 weeks old, the family moved to Arriola, where he grew up.
Stan was engaged in many different occupations throughout his life. At the age of 12 he worked as a farm/ranch hand. Later he worked as a carpenter, logger, heavy equipment operator, hard rock miner, realtor, real estate developer, mining superintendent, mining consultant, mine developer, and prospector.
Stan was preceded in death by his father, Ed Ryce Foster and 2 stepfathers, Art McGee and Bob Striegle. Stan is survived by his mother, Eva Wilbur Foster McGee and his wife Annalee Allred.

Stan is the stepfather of 3 children, Ryan, Holly and Beau Bower.
Stan loved life and people. "Life was good" he said, "I'm not afraid to die." He enjoyed every day until he became sick. Stan's many friends and family will miss his funny stories and contagious laughter. The family would like to thank Stan's daughter Cassidy and his wife Annalee for their loving care through the last months of his life. We would also like to thank Stan's many friends for coming by to see him and say goodby. Stan was buried in the Battlerock Cemetery in McElmo Canyon, Colorado next to his father. Goodby Stan, We already miss you so much. At this time there are no plans for a memorial service.

The kit comes with the handset, rechargeable batteries, a charging base, a base station, two power adaptors, a telephone line cord, an Ethernet cable, a quick installation guide, and a user's guide CD. Users have to charge the handset (for 16 hours) and connect the RJ-11 telephone line cord, Ethernet cable, and power adaptor to its base station. Users can also add up to four additional handsets to the base unit, and can be 'paged' by pressing the page button.
The handset has an LCD screen (128 x 128 pixels) for easy menu browsing, has five hotkeys (menu, contact, intercom, mute, and loud) on its keypad, and even comes with a 2.5mm jack for hooking up an external headset. The Linksys handset also comes with a built-in speaker at the back for its speakerphone function.
The main hook for this product is the fact that it can make Skype calls without being hooked up to a PC or notebook. But it also makes traditional calls. The Linksys CIT400 supports SkypeIn/Out, Skype to Skype calls, landline calls, as well as call waiting and Skype's optional voicemail service. Users can view their contacts, call history, Skype status, add new contacts, and adjust the phone settings by pressing the menu key (upper left button). Unfortunately, uses cannot store landline contacts on the phone, forcing them to store data onto their Skype accounts.
Another feature that we liked about the CIT400 is that its handset uses two NiMH AAA batteries instead of a proprietary battery pack. With this, users can easily swap out the old batteries for a fresh pair when its talk and standby time diminishes.
Besides some minor Skype issues (call drops, lag, and chops), the Linksys CIT400 is a solid phone that can help you get in touch with loved ones here in Australia or with friends who live on the other side of the globe, all for an affordable price. If you do not like the idea of turning your PC on just to access Skype and want a wireless phone that can do it all, then this kit is worth a look.

Review: Fitbit Flex Wearable Fitness Tracker
Testing Fitbit's wrist-band wearable fitness tracker over the past couple of weeks has been an interesting experiment that sees me wanting to continue the tracking and reaching the daily 10,000 steps goal - but I wish it also told the time.

Recap: 2012 Joint Advocacy Conference
Those attending the 7thAnnual Urology Joint Advocacy Conference (JAC) in Washington, DC, March 4-6, 2012, were fortunate to attend what was arguably the best urology advocacy conference yet.
Coding Corner:
Distinguishing between a New and Established Patient
The following article is the first of a two-part Q&A session on clinical practice guidelines, which will be followed by a monthly Guidelines Corner highlighting findings from the latest AUA guidelines. Questions are posed by Practice Guidelines Committee (PGC) Vice-Chair Deborah J. Lightner, MD, to highlight some of the central issues as they relate to clinical practice guidelines in urology today, and answers are provided by PGC Chair J. Stuart Wolf Jr., MD.
Q: Why do we Need Guidelines?
A: There is simply too much medical information available today for a single practitioner, particularly one practicing general urology, to incorporate into a cohesive plan for patient care; therefore, the AUA develops guidelines to compile evidence on a single clinical topic which they can utilize for treating patient. Guidelines are more than just a compilation of data--they combine relevant information, with clinical judgment, to help AUA members deliver quality patient care.
The 2012 Urology Practice Management (PM) Conference, held at the beginning of the AUA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, will feature Rosemarie Nelson, a highly respected consultant who often speaks at this event about health information technology.
AUA Vice Chair David F. Penson, MD, MPH, was recently appointed to the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Dr. Penson will serve a three-year term on the Council, which is tasked with providing advice and recommendations to both the Director of AHRQ and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding priorities for a national health services research agenda.

I can't sit down and watch football I have to watch this every year. it's Soo cute! The PUPPY bowl is way better than the superbowl. Very entertaining and funny!!! WOO HOO PUPPY BOWL VI on in 1 hour! Plz make sequels for a long long time I love it! P.S. love the Kitty show too my cat loves it too ROFL ;)
This movie is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. If you like to watch dogs play then you should just go to the pet store and stand in front of the puppy cage for an hour because that is basically all this movie is.
Dreadful! A waste of money and time. No where near being as described! Do not bother to throw away your money.
adorable!Never missed one,never will!
My five-year old LOVES this DVD. He wants absolutely everyone to see it too!!! I am hoping to find a 2006.....
The Puppy Bowl DVD is way too cute! I love dogs, and if you do too, you will addore this DVD :)
So much better than football! Keeps youngsters entertained for a little while.
This is the cutest movie I have ever seen.Wonderful.I recomend it for the whole family. ^_^.
i think it cute....
It defies logic: that a show with nothing but puppies playing on a fake football field should be so entertaining. But thats what it is! Go figure! My husband and I were mesmerized - it was cute, it was funny, it was stress relieving. Hubby talked to a friend whos a big sports fan on the day of the real bowl game, and sports fan ended up watching puppy bowl instead. Called to thank us. Just a real nice little show...worth the price of admission for sure.
There were problems with the way this puppy bowl was run. Boring, as well as seeing the pups being forced to interact when they obviously werent wanting to, really took away from the movie. Puppy Bowl II was much better
If you absoloutly LOVE dogs and puppies you have to watch this if you already havent!
much better than football
Puppy Bowl 1 is a great stress relief.
So cute!!! I just want to steal them all away!
I think that this DVD is THE CUTEST! My dogs and I LOVE to watch it! If you dont have it, and you LOVE DOGS, you NEED to get it!
This product is excellent, I ought to give you people who say its not a piece of my mind.
It was a good movie but, I got bored fast
i watched this show on tv and i llllooovvveeedddd it so much. i couldnt keep my eyes off the cute puppies !!!!
This is so cute-my dogs loved it, my two year old loved it, and I couldnt stop laughing watching them! And its only $10, not $30, and for a good cause so quit complaining you poo-pooers.

About Bebe
Bebe emerged from near-obscurity in 2005 to become the most talked-about Latin artist in America after she was awarded a shocking five Latin Grammy nominations to become far and away the year's most nominated act. The Spanish singer/songwriter from Valencia doesn't neatly fit into any stylistic category, which made her Grammy nominations sweep all the more curious. Bearing a strong resemblance to mid- to late-'90s Aterciopelados -- edgy dance-pop songs that brazenly defy gender stereotypes -- as well as more contemporary alternative Latinas such as Natalia LaFourcade, Ely Guerra, and Julieta Venegas, Bebe didn't sound totally out of place when she debuted in 2004 with Pafuera Telarañas. In fact, some described her as Laura Pausini with attitude, while others billed her style as flamenco-punk. Before the wave of attention that followed her Grammy nominations, Bebe was a steadily developing artist with a small buzz. Back in the '90s she sang for a group called Vanagloria, and she subsequently enjoyed a lot of success in Spain as a solo artist, selling hundreds of thousands of albums, scoring numerous hit singles, and winning a few major awards. But it wasn't until 2005 that she crossed over to America in the wake of her Grammy nominations, which were announced almost exactly a year after the stateside release of Pafuera Telarañas. During that year, the album sort of languished in obscurity. That was a shame, because it was a wonderful, colorful, and creative album, on a par with LaFourcade's self-titled debut and Venegas' Sí. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

This woman has a nice overall shape to her lips, but was unhappy with the deep lines that she saw on her upper lip when she spoke. Botox was used to soften these lines when she animated her lips but without changing their overall appearance.
