The first Girl Scout meeting in the United States was on March 12, 1912. To recognize this special event in Girl Scout history, the week including March 12 is known as Girl Scout week. The Saturday and Sunday of this week are known as Girl Scout Sabbath and Girl Scout Sunday. This week is an opportunity for girls to make a special effort to celebrate Girl Scouts.
Your troop can recognize scouting by asking your religious organization to place the Girl Scout bulletin insert on Girl Scout Sunday or Sabbath. This year Girl Scout Sunday is March 7 and Girl Scout Sabbath is March 13. The inserts are free, but supplies are limited, so put your order in quickly to ensure you have enough for your organization.
This year's insert (pictured right) was designed by Cadette Girl Scout Abbie R. of Troop 8184. The back of the insert has the Girl Scout Promise and Law, and GSSA contact information.
Order forms can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, faxed or mailed to either service center. The inserts can be put in service unit boxes for the service unit meetings in March or they can be picked up at the council.

African heads of state stress importance of Rio+ 20 for continent01/
Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), 30 June 2011 - African heads of state have stressed the need for a common voice on sustainable development in the run-up to next year's major Rio+20 conference. Heads of state and government ministers from 53 states were among 130 participants at a roundtable event held in Equitorial Guinea during the African Union Summit of Heads of States and Governments, which ends on 1 July. Organized by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the African Union Commission, the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the African Development Bank, the roundtable event aimed to provide a platform of high level dialogue for African states to reflect on the continent's preparations for next year's UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). The roundtable served as a platform for the sharing of ideas, suggestions and recommendations which can contribute towards Africa's common strategy for Rio+20. Entitled "Mobilizing African Leadership for an Effective Regional Preparatory Process for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20)", the event also included participants from UN agencies, regional economic commissions, the European Union and civil society groups.The two main themes of Rio+20 - the Green Economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development - were the focus of discussions. "Africa is a region with perhaps the most to gain from a world-wide shift towards a Green Economy", said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner, addressing participants at the roundtable. "Rio+20 could represent an evolution of sustainable development that recognizes and values Africa's assets in a way that reflects the economic, social and environmental realities of a world markedly different from Rio 1992. The challenge for Rio+20 is to accelerate and to scale all this up in a way that meets Africa's challenges, by unleashing its inordinate potential as a major force in a sustainable 21st century", added Mr Steiner. The round table was moderated by Jean Ping, Chairperson of the African Union Commission and was officially opened by Denis Sassou Nguesso, President of the Republic of the Congo, with Jacob Zuma, President of the Republic of South Africa, and Jean Francois Bozize, President of the Central Africa Republic. President Zuma of South Africa used the roundtable event to announce the official launch of the South African Renewables Initiative (SARI), which aims to catalyze industrial and economic benefits through a scaling-up of renewable energy in the country. In closing the roundtable, moderator Jean Ping underlined the shared responsibilities of UN Economic Commission for Africa, the African Union Commission and African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) to coordinate the drafting of the common position on Rio+20. He also invited Kenya and South Africa to share their experiences in geothermal and in renewable energy with other countries.The discussions from the roundtable will be reflected in a decision on Rio +20, to be taken by African heads of state on the final day of the summit on 1 July 2011.

What does it take to turn a dream into reality? Reflecting on various scholars, fellows and young leaders that I have worked with in the past and more specifically at the Institute of International Education, I have come up with the following items.
There were no fancy accessories, no expensive props, and no high expectations. The simple, honest exhibitions of dance, song, testimonials, and speeches could only witness joy, pleasure, pride, and a deep desire to continue to excel.
"Wow. I want to be here!" said one of the Verizon Innovative Learning Program (VILP) girls looking at the Verizon facility in Hyderabad, India.
The Verizon Innovative Learning Program (VILP) has achieved yet another milestone! Forty Verizon volunteers—women employees at the Chennai and Hyderabad offices in South India—went through a kick-start workshop to begin the mentoring process for VILP girls. Through interactive, back-to-back workshops at two locations, mentors were briefed about the program, and they discussed their hopes and fears for the mentoring process. In order to develop a deeper understanding about their role as mentors, participants reflected upon occasions when they themselves had been mentored. Finally the group discussed the nuts and bolts of the mentoring process under VILP.
Much has happened in the Verizon Innovative Learning Program (VILP) in last two months, including a few initial milestones. The teachers' workshop was completed in Chennai, and 200 girls have been selected for the program. The girls were chosen based on their motivations and interest in the program and their economic and educational vulnerability. It surely is a matter of pride and responsibility for these girls as they embark on their journey with us. We are very excited!
What is that one unique trait you have that is valuable for your school? What is your vision for the future as teachers of your school? Do you dare to dream? How do you expand your comfort zone? Can education technology replace teachers in the class room?
This and many more thought-provoking questions were part of a unique opportunity for 17 Science and Math teachers and principals from five government schools of the Hyderabad district in India to participate in a two-day reflection process.
The percentage of girls admitted each year to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology has been falling. The Joint Entrance Exam 2012 report states that the percentage of girls admitted has decreased from 9.9 in 2011 to 9.7 in 2012. My previous post, Introducing the Girls' STEM Education Program in India, explains a few of the causes and our endeavors to break those barriers. In continuation of the needs assessment plan for the pilot program to be launched in Southern India, the IIE team set out for another site visit in December 2013.
While the literacy rate among girls is getting better gradually, the gender gap still continues and when it comes to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields, girls are significantly underrepresented in most parts of India. Various factors are responsible for this disparity, such as differential socialization of men and women, impaired self-confidence and expectations regarding the impact of children on women's academic careers. Parents may not want to spend money for their daughters, or do not want to send their daughters to faraway places for safety concerns. The roots of this problem in India lie in the different gender experiences of boys and girls. As young girls and women, females are socialized to seek help and be help givers rather than to be self-reliant or to function autonomously or competitively, as are boys.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

|In response to Re: Gas Pilot Light Goes Out..........a lot
The thermocouple could be weak, but if the pilot will light and stay lit until the burner starts, (and the burner stays on long enough to heat the tank and shut off normally), then that is a slight possibility. There are many other reason that it could happen, ranging from back drafts to a restricted flue in the heater.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Snowpack is near normal was the news the Emery County Public Lands council heard in their January meeting. Sherrel Ward is the head of the water subcommittee, he read numbers from a Utah water outlook supplement which combines Carbon, Emery, Wayne and Grand counties. The Price River is 115 percent of average with the San Rafael at 114 percent and the Muddy River 107 percent.
Snow pack is near normal at 91 percent. The Southern region which flooded last year is much dryer this year.
The soil is not nearly as saturated as it was last year, from the fall rain storms.
Ward also reported the Huntington/Cleveland Irrigation salinity project has experienced increases in pipe prices which will extend the completion of the project. The project might also be eligible for some grants which would help with expenses. Bids on two of the laterals will be posted in February beginning on the very end in North Elmo and on the upper Huntington. Ward also informed the council that Huntington North Reservoir has been eliminated from the Warren Act and there will be no fee to use that reservoir.
If enough pressure exists then the water can come out of Huntington North but if enough pressure isn't available a storage pond by Huntington Airport will be used.
Ray Petersen, public lands director reported that he and Commissioner Drew Sitterud had met with the Bureau of Land Management for final input into the new route designation plan which updates the old map. Petersen also mentioned the Cedar Mountain Wilderness area recently approved by Congress and signed by the President which designates 100,000 acres of wilderness in the West Desert. The BLM had recommended 50,000 acres and SUWA wanted the higher acreage and the legislation flew right through. County commissioners felt it was all a political ploy to keep the Goshute Indian Reservation from using any of their land as a nuclear waste repository as the wilderness bill would cut off the access to the land where a railroad spur was needed to ship the nuclear waste into the reservation.
Petersen and the commissioners advised everyone to stay on top of these types of developments where wilderness is designated to stop development.
Mark H. Williams approached the council concerning signage. The OHV club is ready to sign trails on the Swell. Petersen said all county roads have a number and this number should be kept the same on the signs. Commissioner Sitterud also said the BLM and forest service, counties and state are all working on a project to coordinate road names and numbers so they all have a common name for emergency services response.
The map coming out will show the trail system and the OHV club is interested in getting the signing done to avoid confusion as to which trails are open and which are closed. It was also reported that the RS-2477 roads all have numbers in place also.
The forest currently has numbers for all of their roads and they are considering a hyphen with their road number followed by the common name or number of the road.
The ATV group has also requested an ATV trail be allowed up Wagon Road Ridge. The ATV group has met with the forest service on the request. An information document has been prepared and Mesia Nyman from the forest service will make the final decision on this matter, but she indicated the document said a trail there would create high risk to the wildlife in the area and if that were the case she would recommend not creating a trail there.
Dickson Huntington, council member said the cattlemen would support not putting a trail there also. He said the cattlemen had received a letter from Wayne Luddington from the BLM concerning spring use on the BLM allotments. This will be determined on an allotment by allotment basis. Huntington said the BLM has been very reasonable in the past.
Vernell Rowley from the Heritage subcommittee said the planks recently installed at the Swinging Bridge are holding up well and not splitting. They also toured the work completed at the Wedge and reported the road was in excellent shape and the day use areas were spotless.
The Spanish Trail convention is still scheduled for June 3 in Green River. The Spanish Trail was marked in 1994 and now the markers are almost all gone.
Huntington reported he had driven through the Buckhorn country and Fullers bottom and the country is healing nicely from ATV damage and he commended those responsible.
"It has been a cooperative effort between agencies, ATV groups, individuals and SUWA. The OHV groups have been very supportive and Deputy Jeffs has really contributed. It has been a community effort," said Floyd Johnson from the BLM.
Huntington said, "It's working."
Council chairman Bruce Wilson reported the BLM is having two scoping meetings to gather comments on oilshale and tar sands development. These resources are scattered throughout the Swell with some in Kane Wash, Coal Wash and beneath Temple Mountain. Johnson said the BLM has a map prepared identifying mineral potential. There is a larger band of potential in the Tavaputs Plateau region.
Clyde Magnuson, council member, was concerned about the forest service obtaining a portion of a water right to satisfy demands from the state water engineer concerning the wildlife guzzlers installed last spring near SUFCO mine.
Magnuson said the irrigation company could give the water, but still own it. He feels it is a bad precedent to set to sell water shares to the forest service.
Commissioner Hatch said he doesn't think they should be requiring the forest service to secure a water share anyway as the forest service has prior rights for watering of wildlife and stock. They have previously requested this use of water.
Nyman said the forest service is being, "required" to obtain this water right.
Ward reported the Huntington/Cleveland irrigation had settled with the DWR concerning beaver control. The DWR will provide some funds to go toward beaver control.
The forest service roads and trails analysis will be ready for review next month and Nyman will present it to the council at that time. The Muddy Roads and Trails analysis was completed last year and the forest service has a proposal to make some changes to the forest service travel plan, but the NEPA process for the Muddy Roads and Trails analysis was not funded so Nyman will be working on that with specialists reviewing her work.
The analysis of the Gentry allotment will also begin this year with work expected to take longer than a year.
Some 2006 forest service projects include: thinning of pinyon and juniper at Black Dragon, reducing fuels on the south end of Joe's Valley through the Kitchen down to the south end of Cat. "It's easier to remove the trees when they are younger and they are mostly hand cut," said Nyman.
The Jungle burn will take place mid-year which will reduce conifer/aspen. A fuels reduction will take place around Ferron Reservoir as well as pile burning.
The South Manti timber sale is still in court, but the forest service is ready to move on that as soon as it's settled.
Energy West is planning 11 helicopter drills searching for coal. These types of drills only take a few days and have minimal effects on the forest. The Rilda project is a go for the new facility for Deer Creek Mine.
NEPA will be done on the paving to Reeder Subdivision.
The forest service has received funding for boat access at Huntington Reservoir. The forest service will be meeting with partners to see what type of access is best and to determine a location for the boat access. Toilets will also be installed at the Seely guard station and at the new horse camping sites at Potter's Pond.
Nyman explained the forest plan is nearing 15 years old and the forest plan revision will give guidance on the forest. The old plan set outputs and the new plan will center more on general guidance. It may not have management indicator species.
Commissioner Hatch reported he had heard by word of mouth that DOGM had signed off on the Rilda project. The county will be moving ahead on the road and they have a cooperative agreement with the coal company on road upgrades.
Bryan Torgerson from SITLA reported there are two pending applications for wells in Drunkards Wash by XTO which they expect will be approved. On March 24 will be the spring SITLA land sale in St. George, there is a piece of land by Ruby Ranch and a couple of pieces in Grand County, St. George and Circleville which will be up for sale.
Tory Killian, council member, said she was concerned about the contentious nature of some of the lands council meetings and suggested Roberts Rules of order be implemented. Commissioner Hatch said all members need to be courteous to one another, but they do not want to suppress opinions which is what the council is all about. Commissioner Gary Kofford said it is up to the chairman of the council if someone is out of order, the chairman should shut them down. He suggested the chairman review the rules of order to be aware of what you can and cannot do.
Council chairman Wilson said he thinks the council does a good job of discussing issues. People should allow others to finish their comments and not interupt so everyone can be heard and to keep things in order.
Ward said he thought disagreement was good and hearing from others with differing view points was an opportunity to learn.
Commissioner Hatch said his concern was with personal attacks and said there was not a place for that on the council. Wilson said the council is the place to get issues out and discuss them.
Magnuson said if you want cooperation among council members it is a good idea to alert them to an issue which will be presented during the meeting and let them know about something ahead of time.
Torgerson said he works with several counties and has found the public lands council to be the most structured and well behaved of any meetings he attends.
Derris Jones from the DWR also expressed his appreciation to the council and the ease with which they work with the DWR.
The next council meeting will be Feb. 14 at 10 a.m.

What She Wants You to Wear... at the Pool or Beach
In a woman's mind, there are two notable male bathing-suit scenes in cinematic history, and they both involve James Bond.
First is Sean in Thunderball, and he's kind of frightening to us ladies. All those tufts of coarse Scottish hair — he's alarmingly masculine, almost animal-like. He's lazy, confident, and sprawled powerfully, muscled legs akimbo and serving as a cautionary tale to all gym rats who neglect their lower body.
The second scene is clearly an homage to the first — as well as a spoof on Ursular Andress in Doctor No. In this case, it's Daniel Craig in Casino Royale — rising from the surf like the God of Bowflex. He's cleaner cut, more like a Viking pin-up boy than the feral Connery, but no less powerful and jaw-dropping to the females of the species.
The consistent show-piece? A terrifyingly small, slim, and minimal blue swimsuit. In Sean's case it's a preppy, button-tab set of twill trunks, with a natty buttoned coin pocket. Daniel braves one of the most daring suits a man of this world can attempt — a clingy "boy short" Lycra affair from La Perla. Simple, well-cut, and refreshingly sexy (in the right context), without losing their respective dignities.
And while you might not have the animal athleticism of Connery, or the gleaming sculptural affair of Craig, you still could do better than a saggy pair of Umbro shorts left over from college. For poolside cocktails or a midnight dip in the ocean, it's worthwhile to invest in a beautiful suit.
You guys have it relatively easy. Women have hundreds of subtle cuts to choose from, all attempting to flatter and hide different parts of our bodies, and even the teeniest male swimsuit is not as revealing as a woman's bikini bottom. (That's a good thing.) Most of you wear something resembling perfectly respectable shorts, and you don't even have cellulite to worry about. Sometimes it seems deeply unfair. But that certainly doesn't mean you're scot-free. And while a good-fitting suit can't make up for too many quesadillas, it can show everyone at the pool that you feel great about yourself. Some suggestions:
If You're Slim:
These classic lace-up board shorts are almost too good to wear only to the pool. Try popping a madras top over these and some leather loafers. You'll look like Ryan Gosling of the pool club, and the long length and slim cut will flatter a smaller frame.
#2 trunks in bright blue ($230) by Quit Mad Stop, quitmadstop.com
If You're Athletic:
If you lived at the gym this spring, go with the next best thing to Connery's trunks. The Orlebar Brown setter is the classic shorter swim suit and it comes in dozens of great colors. This is a perfect trunk to show off a little muscle, particularly if you're not the tallest dog in the pack.
Setter ($230) by Orlebar Brown, orlebarbrown.com
If You're Less Athletic:
Don't fall into the trap of buying trunks that are long and baggy just because you might think they'll suit you better. A little tailoring and solid colors are the solution, and a bit of stretch can be more forgiving than a messy drawstring. Try a classic, in black or navy.
Merise solid ($230) by Vilebrequin, vilebrequinonlinestore.com
If You're Daring (or, in South America):
Want to try the Craig look on for size? Those risqué La Perla stretch trunks he wore are still for sale, although the pale blue color — our favorite, for sure — is currently unavailable.
Nero Perla capo verde trunk ($113) by GrigioPerla, internationaljock.com
And while you're perusing, check out the Sunspel Bond competition. To celebrate fifty years of 007 style, they've recreated the exact shorts worn in Thunderball, and will be giving a pair to one winner along with a full Sunspel wardrobe. While they might end up in a display case, rather than on your butt, it's still a smart homage to the power of the poolside man.

The Municipal Building Authority of Emery County meets once a month on the first Tuesday of each month. Commissioner Gary Kofford is the Chairman of this committee, which is filled by Commissioner Jeff Horrocks, Commissioner Drew Sitterud, Sharon Jensen and Randy Jensen.
It was formed to oversee the construction of the senior centers in each town and the new jail and courthouse complex in Castle Dale. At the present time, this committee is supervising the heating project at the Museum of the San Rafael, an addition project at Emery County Care and Rehab, possible construction work at the Huntington Airport, a Veterans monument to be constructed at the Museum of the San Rafael, and the construction of a senior center in Green River.
Commissioner Kofford began the meeting with an explanation about the bid process for the Veterans monument being planned for the grounds of the Museum. Bids were let out for the five marble slabs that will each represent an era of conflict, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, and the conflicts since that time. Only one bid was received and it was from Worley Jensen in Price. He said he spoke with the owner of a local monument company about entering a bid, but has not yet received one.
The bid from Worley Jensen was opened and it being the only one received, the project was awarded to them. The amount of the bid was for the five marble slabs, two bases, and two polished benches. The bid was for the amount of $29,972.
Commissioner Kofford then explained that he has worked on the Green River Senior Center for a year and a half, and the project is still a long way from being started. There is a problem with acquiring enough property to accommodate the requirements of parking at the center. The county does not have enough property and a private landowner is wanting more for an adjoining piece than the county can afford.
Commissioner Sitterud suggested the plans be dropped for the present location and return to the original proposed site. At that site, there is a problem with zoning and the city has denied their request to rezone the property. Commissioner Sitterud feels that it may be easier to work with Green River City than to acquire more property. He will take this project from this point and try to work through the stalemate.
Commissioners Kofford and Horrocks met with Johansen and Tuttle Engineering about the possibility of them doing a feasibility study at the airport. The airport is in need of a new runway measuring 7,000 feet by 84 feet. The runway will run from north to south and will be an entirely new runway. If this runway is constructed, the need to relocate buildings or hangars will be alleviated. The $5,000 needed to pay for the feasibility study will be less than the price of moving those structures. This feasibility study was approved.

Rated 5 out of 5�by austinbebefan Hope they fit as good as the model's do. I love the look of these jeans. I have never taken anything over a size 25 jeans in bebe, but this time I ordered a size 26 since I missed the chance for a size 25 by ordering too late. the model in the whiter here wears a size 28 when she normally wears a size 27 in the blue denim high waist. The fabric content is different in the blue high waist versus the white high waist where she takes the larger size in 28. I've even taken a size 24 in bebe jeans when they have run very large. I really hope these fit my curves well or I might have to return them if too large. I wear mostly an xxs in bebe but sometimes I need a xs if it's a certain type of fabric. Keep up the great clothing. January 21, 2014

Hooker Matthew Dwyer will make his first start for Ospreys in Sunday's PRO12 clash against Leinster at Liberty Stadium.
Hooker Matthew Dwyer will make his first start for Ospreys in Sunday's PRO12 clash against Leinster at Liberty Stadium.
The hosts are without nine players who are away on international duty for the rematch of last season's final.
Lock Lloyd Peers makes his first PRO12 start while Arthur Ellis, Marc Thomas and Daniel Suter will all make their Ospreys debuts if they come off the bench
"November is going to be a big month for us, as is always the case," said Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees.
"With international players away, it's always a challenge, and a great opportunity for some of our younger players to stand up and show what they are capable of.
"As someone who has done a lot of work with the younger players in my previous time with the Ospreys, I'm looking forward to the games this month. With two LV= Cup games to follow then two more PRO12 matches, it's a crucial time of the season and it's important that the work we've done in preparing for this period bears fruit.
"Last season's title success was driven by the core group of players who were around in the international periods, who got that great six game winning start to the season to put us in a great position, beat a full strength Munster in November and kept things going in February. We need these players to step up to the mark in the same way.
"It's a great opportunity for guys coming in and show that they are good enough to be Ospreys. It's at times like this that players such as Justin Tipuric, Ryan Bevington and Ashley Beck have excelled in recent seasons and they've used it to kick on and establish themselves with both their region and their country. We'll be expecting some of the players involved this month to have a similar impact so it's exciting as coaches and players, and I'd expect our supporters to feel the same.
"We know that Leinster may have an unfamiliar look to their team this weekend but we also know that as European champions they have real strength in depth and whatever players wear their shirt we will be in for a real test."
Meanwhile, Andrew Goodman will make his debut for Leinster at inside centre in a team which shows wholesale changes from the side which defeated the Cardiff Blues last weekend.
David Kearney is one of only two player who remain in the backline and he moves to full-back with Andrew Conway and Fionn Carr named on the wings.
Ireland scrum-half Isaac Boss (who makes his 55th appearance) partners Ian Madigan at in the half backs, with the latter shifting from full-back where he has featured in recent weeks.
Shane Jennings leads the team and he is named in the back-row alongside number eight Leo Auva'a and Rhys Ruddock who made his first senior appearance this season in last weekend's Round 7 fixture.
Damian Browne partners Devin Toner, who is set to make his 107th appearance for his home province.
The replacements bench comprises completely of Leinster Academy products.

The price of gold is enjoying a strong start to the week, including a 1.2% gain on Tuesday despite word that exchange-traded fund holdings are at their lowest in more than three years.
ETFs such as SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) and other exchange-traded products' gold holdings have now fallen below 2,000 metric tons for the first time since May 2010, Bloomberg News' Phoebe Sedgman and Glenys Sim report. The peak came in December, at 2,632.5 tons.
ETFs have since shed 638 tons of gold, which the Bloomberg reporters say is equal to more than a fifth of total gold-mining output during 2012.
So who's behind the most recent buying? RBC Capital's George Gero says fund managers are wading back in in a morning client email.

The 2004-2005 lockout was awful, but it looked even uglier on the Stanley Cup. As we reach day Pacioretty (67) of this heartfelt, doing-it-for-the-betterment-of-the-game lockout, I thought it would be interesting to look back at the last lockout. I know you can't wait to hit the read article button and read more crap about the lockout, but it is interesting to see how their stubbornness eight years ago impacts us today.
I've looked back at various stories, and I can't pinpoint one source that "broke" the details of each one, so the following stats/points are from numerous outlets, like TSN, SI, ESPN, Sportsnet, Globe and Mail, Edmonton Journal, and many others that I didn't use, but likely had the same information.
July 2004....The NHL wanted a hard cap of $35 million and 50/50 split of revenue. NHLPA was adamantly opposed to a cap, and offered a luxury tax on teams going over $50 million.... The NHL conducted the Levitt Report that stated owners were losing $273 million and the players were making 76% of revenue. Bob Goodenow, of course, disputed the report and claiming owners were hiding money. Sound familiar?
The two sides didn't negotiate very much once the lockout officially began on Sept 15th. We didn't see any real talks until December.
Dec 2004.. The players were getting restless and they put forth what was deemed a stunning proposal. They offered a 24% rollback on salaries, concession on rookie salaries and arbitration. There was also an odd luxury tax component on teams going over $45 million, and if I read correctly, it said that teams would be penalized 20% for every dollar over $45 million. That wasn't much of a deterrent. So a team could have went over the Cap by $5 million and only be penalized $1 million. The rich teams would have loved that.
The NHLPA felt these were significant moves, but the NHL didn't agree. Bettman did, however, state it was a "good move in the right direction," but it wasn't enough. He wanted a hard cap, and offered 54% of revenue.
**Goodenow was adamant that once a cap was in place the revenue split would go down. He was technically correct. The split actually went up for the last few years of the past CBA, 57%, but now eight years later the NHL wants that split to go down.**
There were no real offers in January, and in February each side offered their "final" offer.
Feb, 2005...The final offers came in early February, around the 5th and 6th. The NHL offered a $42.5 salary cap, with no set limit on the player's share of revenue. They softened their stance on the 54% being the max. The NHLPA countered with a $49 million cap. Many felt they'd meet in the middle at $45 milion and play. Neither side was willing to budge and Bettman officially cancelled the season February 16th.
Wow, most guy fans really got the shaft that year. Within 48 hours you had to deal with the pressure of Valentine's Day and then found out your favourite sport was cancelled. Tough times for sure.
In April of 2007, Bruce Dowbiggin released the book; Money Players: The amazing rize and fall of Bob Goodenow and the NHL Players Assocation. If you like reading about stories of the lockout and Goodenow, I recommend reading it.
In the book, Dowbiggin has a great story about a secret meeting at Niagara Falls between Ted Saskin and Bill Daly. The story goes that Saskin reportedly said the NHLPA would accept a hard cap, if salaries were not linked to revenues. He told Daly the NHLPA would accept a $52 million cap. Daly countered with $40 million and no linkage.
It is amazing to me how little faith either side had in their ability to grow league revenues. Both sides were so set on winning, they clearly didn't have someone breakdown the potential growth of the NHL. Could you imagine how irate the players would be today if the NHL had accepted their $52 million cap?
2006...Cap was $39 million.
2007... $44 million.
2008... $50.3 million
2009... $56.7 million
2010... $56.8 million
2011... $59.4 million
2012... $64.3 million
2013...It was proposed to be $70.2 million.
The teams would have lost in the first few yeas, but they'd have cleaned up in the last four years. I wonder how much the NHL regrets not accepting that deal, if indeed it was official.
Kent Wilson broke down the latest NHLPA's offer here, and while some of it looks great, I'm sure the NHL will have some concerns. Mainly that in years two through five of the deal the players' share in dollars may not be less than the previous season. That is essentially guaranteeing money. You can't have salaries linked to revenues, but have a guarantee that if revenues fall the players share doesn't.
There are some good "compromises" in the offer, but the NHL will not accept it as is. No chance.
Yesterday, the Toronto Star reported that the NHL and NHLPA had found some common ground on a few minor issues. These changes will not make or break the new CBA, but I like that they could be part of a new landscape.
No longer will July 1st be Canada Day and free agency day. The two sides have agreed to have it start sometime in mid-to-late June. They suggested as early as 48-hours after the Cup final, but I'm guessing they will look at having at least five days between handing out the Cup and the start of
over-paying players free agency.
I like this for a few reasons.
Canada Day should be about spending time with your family and celebrating our wonderful county, not finding out who your NHL team signed.
More importantly it could lead to more movement at the draft. Every year we hear about potential deals at the draft, and they rarely pan out, mainly because teams feel they might be able to acquire someone in free agency. If free agency starts before the draft, then teams would know what they have, and how they missed out on, and would be more inclined to make a move on draft day. The more player movement the more exciting the league is for the fans.
The other alleged agreement involved allowing cap space to be part of trades. I'm a bit surprised the NHLPA agreed to this, because it could lead to more player moves. As long as there is no clause that allows teams to go over the cap, I'm all for this. More trades, means more debates, more analysis and more excitement.
Until I hear the NHL and NHLPA have reached an actual agreement, I won't be getting too excited over any offer, however, hearing that minor changes like cap space being part of trades and free agency in June are likely, means we have finally seen a few positives in this ridiculous lockout.

C'mon guys, get it together.
Long ago, I decided that I would enjoy casino's a hell of a lot more if I made my goal to lose money as opposed to my previous goal of winning money. I always leave the casino satisfied now.
I think I am going to transfer my love of hockey to a new passion for contract negotiation techniques.
Wow, this feels great all of the sudden! Ohhh, the NHLPA just sent out a new offer, I await the reponse of the NHL with great anticipation. I have both Crosby and Bill Daly on my NHL/NHLPA Fantasy Professional Hockey Negotiation Team.

NHLPA were the first ones to propose the trading of the cap space.
November 21 2012, 02:46PM
I just heard that the NHLPA hired the lead negotiator from the makers of Twinkeys and Ding Dongs.......finally some good news!
November 21 2012, 03:13PM
It's time to set up a rogue league. One where there are only 24-26 teams in places that can actually get snow at least once a year or more. Players don't get guaranteed money. Ticket prices are only allowed to boost a teams revenue by 10%. And Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr are not permitted!
I'm just wondering how trading cap space would actually work? I'm guessing the only reason a team would trade for cap space is so that they don't go over the cap the rest of the league is playing to. Would you be buying the right to have a higher cap for your team? This would defeat the purpose of a cap. I don't get it.
is that actually on the cup? if so that should have been enough to shame the players and owners into geting something done before the cba expired, but here we are.

Largest All-Electric, Fast-Charging Bus Fleet in the U.S. Soon to be in Operation - Today, StarMetro is one step closer to launching the largest all-electric, fast-charging bus fleet in the United States. This morning, Mayor John Marks along with other City officials unveiled StarMetro's newly constructed Proterra FastFill charging station and debuted one of its five electric buses at C.K. Steele Plaza. With construction of the charging station complete, StarMetro will have its entire fleet of electric buses in operation by late August.
Mayor Marks also announced the launch of a contest that will engage citizens in helping unveil the new buses and win prizes from local businesses.
"The City's launch of this innovative technology contributes to our larger vision and mission of adopting environmentally friendly initiatives that benefit Tallahassee residents," Mayor John Marks said. "We are leading the industry, not just in Tallahassee or the state of Florida, but across the entire nation."
Building the FastFill charging station at C.K. Steele Plaza will eliminate the need for the electric buses to be out of operation in order to receive a charge at StarMetro's main facility on Appleyard Drive.
"With the charging station at the plaza, the electric buses can rapidly recharge on-route in as little as ten minutes while customers unload and board the bus," said Ivan Maldonado, director of StarMetro.
To recharge at the charging station, an electric bus simply pulls into the plaza and automatically connects with an overhead system that links to the bus' high-capacity charger. The charging station includes advanced wireless controls that facilitate the docking process. The wireless controls identify that the electric bus is present and then automatically guides and connects the bus with the charging station, free from coach operator involvement.
In order to keep customers at a safe distance from the charging equipment, StarMetro constructed a wall surrounding the charging station. While built with safety in mind, this wall serves as a custom designed artistic display. It features individual block pieces that have been cast with a design and then installed along the wall, courtesy of Henthorne Precast. The design, created by BuildArts, depicts the transition of nature and energy through the summer, fall, winter and spring seasons. This design is visible to motorists on Duval Street and West Tennessee Street and StarMetro customers in the plaza.
In 2010, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded StarMetro more than $5 million dollars of the Transit Investments for Green Gas and Energy Reduction (TIGGER) II grant to purchase three all-electric buses and construct a charging station. The following year, StarMetro signed a contract with Proterra for the production of these buses and charging station. Last year, the FTA increased the amount awarded by $2 million dollars for StarMetro to purchase two additional electric buses.
"Proterra's all-electric buses are the natural choice for transit agencies struggling to balance budget constraints, ever-increasing fuel costs and mounting sustainability pressures," said Garrett Mikita, President & CEO of Proterra Inc. "We are thrilled to see our buses go into service in another community and proud to have worked closely with StarMetro to take this critical step forward. We look forward to having our buses in service there for many years to come."
The electric buses will begin service on Canopy route during an initial test phase prior to bringing customers on board this fall.
At the unveiling, Mayor Marks also announced the launch of a contest to promote the City's five new all-electric buses. The contest, open to all area residents, encourages the community to help unveil the buses for a chance to win prizes donated by local businesses located along StarMetro routes.
To participate in the #MysteryBus contest, citizens collect codes from around the city and enter them online at StarMetroMysteryBus.com. The first code StarMetro released can be found in July utility bills. Representatives from StarMetro will also be distributing #MysteryBus contest codes and information about the electric buses at many local community events. Additional codes will appear in advertising, on social media sites and in emails sent out from StarMetro to transit enthusiasts.
Each time a participant enters a code on StarMetroMysteryBus.com, his or her name is entered into a raffle to win prizes donated by local businesses who have partnered with StarMetro. The more codes participants unlock, the better their odds of winning. Prizes will be given away multiple times a week, and winners will be announced on StarMetro's Facebook and Twitter pages.
In addition to winning prizes, participants in the #MysteryBus contest will help the City unveil the electric bus. As more codes are entered into the system, more of the brown wrap will be peeled away to reveal the electric bus underneath.
