My local paper, the Bangor Daily News, ran a story today about my blog and recipe column in Maine Food & Lifestyle Magazine. You can read the article here. My goal was to communicate that there are many health, environmental, and ethical reasons to go vegan, or to at least eat fewer animal products and more plants. I hope the message came through. If I sound dismissive of vegan pet food or rockin' animal liberation tee-shirts, it was not my intent. I seem to have had a Biden moment. To the hardcore vegans, lacto-ovo vegetarians, and tofu-curious omnivores, I say: come one, come all.
I was skeptical about BDN photographer Gabor Degre's photo: who poses like that with their broccoli? But considering I'd rather have teeth pulled than my picture taken, it turned out really nicely. I look dopey, but at least you can't sense my contempt for the camera.
The part of the article you'll want to cut out and tape to the fridge are the recipes. Last weekend I worked hard (if you can call eating 5 or 6 cupcakes a day hard work) developing a recipe for light, sweet, and airy cupcakes that celebrate strawberries, my absolute favorite summer food. They're adorable with fluffy vanilla frosting, but just as delicious topped with sliced berries or a spoonful of jam.
I based the Vegetable and Chickpea Curry on a dish I found on the Post Punk Kitchen forums a few months ago. Because the recipe is flexible and forgiving, it's become one of my mid-week staples, and I alter it each time I make it. Any hearty seasonal vegetables can be substituted for the carrots, broccoli, and bell pepper. I use spicy Muchi curry powder, so if using a milder blend add chili flakes (or not, gringo).
Thanks again to Mr. Degre, and to BDN lifestyle writer Emily Burnham for spotlighting vegan living in central Maine.

It began, as do many tales of travel, adventure, and triumph, with a librarian.
In June 2007, I was in Denver for the national meeting of the Special Librarians Association, to give a talk on my efforts using superhero comic books to teach physics. There I met a librarian from the National Academy of Sciences. Upon returning to DC, she passed my name along to Ann Merchant, who was in the early stages of setting up The Science & Entertainment Exchange program.
In August Ann called, having received a request for a science consultant from a superhero movie that was about to begin filming, asking if I would be interested. "Have you ever heard of Watchmen?" Ann asked. When I stopped vibrating like a gong, I replied that I was familiar with the graphic novel and would be happy to help out.
Now, I should explain that my excitement resulted from Watchmen, a 12-issue miniseries published in 1985, being considered by many fans as the Citizen Kane of superhero comic books. Director Zack Snyder, Production Designer Alex McDowell, and Art Director Francois Audouy took great care to make their film as faithful as possible to the graphic novel. If faced with a choice of antagonizing a million rabid Watchmen fans – or a physics professor from Minnesota – well, I know which choice I'd make (and I'm the physics professor from Minnesota!).
A conversation about science with Billy Crudup (aka Dr. Manhattan - pictured right), telephone calls, e-mails, and a set visit to Vancouver was the beginning of my consulting gig for Watchmen. But my real work as a physics professor began after filming had wrapped in the spring of 2008. As the filmmakers worked to edit and incorporate special effects in the film, I was asked by Warner Bros. to give a talk on The Science of Watchmen at the 2008 Comic-Con International in San Diego, California, an annual celebration of comics, science fiction, and fantasy that draws 125,000 fans over 4 days in July.
My talk "Why So Blue", Dr. Manhattan turned out to be effective in presenting real physics to the filled-to-capacity room of superhero and science fans. At one point in my discussion of the physics underlying the amazing powers that Dr. Manhattan possesses, I informed the audience that I now needed to teach them Quantum Mechanics. And I had 10 minutes. Which left me with a problem of what do with the other 8 minutes.
For Quantum Mechanics involves strange, fantastic propositions, and that this was the perfect audience to accept strange, fantastic propositions! They not only believed a man could fly, but that a pair of eyeglasses could serve as a fool-proof disguise as well! (A point I then emphasized by removing my own glasses.)
My big opportunity for science outreach came in February 2009, when the University of Minnesota Public Relations office asked if I would be interested in making a short video to be posted on the university's YouTube.com page, discussing the Science of Watchmen. After securing approval from Warner Bros. (who graciously provided us with HD clips from the film, some of which had not yet been shown online), we shot the video in a morning and posted it a few weeks before the film opened nationwide. It was cross-linked on sites from Aint-it-Cool-News to Pharyngula, from Richard Dawkins to Roger Ebert, and received more than 1.5 million views within a couple of months. I doubt that I could get 1.5 people to view a straight video demonstrating the particle-wave duality that underlies quantum physics, but by tying it to the interest in and marketing of a major motion picture, people who came for the fiction would stay for the science.
And then, in August we learned that the video had been nominated for an Upper Midwest Regional Emmy award, in the Advanced Media: Arts/Entertainment category (hence the title of this post – upping the ante on Jerry Zucker's first post on this site). The award ceremony would be September 26 at the Pantages Theater in downtown Minneapolis, and I resolved that I would be up on that stage – either to accept the award or to inform everyone that Beyoncé had the best video of all time!
The above was written prior to the Saturday evening ceremony. Having just returned from the gala, I now have a new item to add to my CV. I wonder if I can get the phrase "Emmy-laureate" into common usage? Let me close this post with my acceptance speech I gave that night:
"I'm Prof. Jim Kakalios. Don't worry - I won't be giving a lecture. I wish to thank Justin Ware and Elizabeth Giorgi at the University of Minnesota, who conceived and created this video, as well as Brian Andersson, who provided the physics demos we used. I would like to thank the Academy – both the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and Ann Merchant, who put me in touch with the Watchmen crew, and everyone on Watchmen and at Warner Bros. for their first-class treatment of me. And I wish to thank my wife and family, for their love and support. I am a lucky man."

Metal Detecting In Utah?
You Should Know The Law
Metal detecting in Utah follows the ARPA (Archeological Resources Preservation Act).
Please click on the link below for the ARPA explanation and some of the problems people face who break this law.
Be sure and read through the entire page.
Even though ARPA does not specifically mention "metal detecting", you need to understand what ARPA says about digging artifacts.
Pay particular attention to the section of stories that have been related to me about what happens when individuals break these laws.
ARPA and YOU
Click the link below for information about that law.
National Historic Preservation Act
If you are detecting in Utah, especially on land that is not privately owned,
do not dig anything that you believe is an artifact, or anything that is older than ugh 100 years.
If you want to detect on private property, then be sure you get written permission from the landowner.
For detecting in Utah, town, village and city parks, you'll need to check with those local officials.
I cannot be responsible for any outdated laws from the time of this posting.

World Vasectomy Day 2013
Men all over the world, whose families are complete, dedicated their vasectomy to Planet Earth in a world-first vasectomy-athon. Would you put your balls on the line?
RiAus is teamed up with film-makers Smith&Nasht and Gabriel Films to stage a vasectomy-athon in support of the inaugural World Vasectomy Day on 18 October 2013. The event saw high profile vasectomist, Dr Doug Stein, perform vasectomies on volunteers while fielding questions from the audience. He was joined by renowned thinkers, academics and activists to debate the future of our planet.
The vasectomy-athon was inspired by documentary film-maker Jonathan Stack and Dr Stein, who wanted to set the stage for a global conversation about the social, cultural and ethical issues of an ever-increasing population and the effect it has on the planet's finite resources. We will be joined in our discussions by renowned biologist and educator Prof Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb. RiAus Director Dr Paul Willis, an experienced science broadcaster, will host the day.
Click here for more information on World Vasectomy Day
Session 1: Nuts and bolts, 1–2.30pm
Dr Doug Stein and his Australian vasectomy associate, Dr Nick Demediuk (aka Dr Snip), will kick off World Vasectomy Day with the basics. What is a no-scalpel vasectomy? This 15 minute procedure will knock your jocks off.
Session 2: To snip or not to snip? 3–4.30pm
It's not always easy to get the snip. Join us for some mythbusting – we'll tackle the social stigma and fears associated with vasectomies, and how this varies around the world.
Session 3: Politics of Population, 5.30–7pm
7 billion people and counting- can vasectomies stem population growth? Is it naïve to think we can cap the population? Our experts will explore human sustainability, featuring Paul Ehrlich, best-selling author of The Population Bomb.
If you can't make it to The Science Exchange you can watch online on the RiAus Livestream.

7 thoughts on "World Vasectomy Day 2013"
Efforts would be better directed at changing the Australian government policy of paying people to have children – especially when many of those people cannot afford (mentally or financially) to properly support those children. Also, is there a world hysterectomy day, or is this just another campaign against men.3
J Bell seems a little confused. I've had a vasectomy, and far from being a procedure "against men" I can only say that I have found it a completely liberating experience that relieves me, and my partner, from the fear of unwanted pregnancy. And why, by the way, should family planning always be a woman's responsibility- or choice? It is fallacious to make an analogy between hysterectomy and vasectomy. The analogy should be with tubal ligation–an invasive, complex surgical procedure that claims the lives of tens of thousands of women in developing countries merely because their male partners are not willing to subject them selves to a simple and safe 15 minute procedure. You had best watch the WVD broadcast Mr Bell- you might learn something. Your attitude so clearly represents the reason we need to have this discussion. (Ann by the way, the baby bonus has been phased out in Australia- you are out of date in more ways than one)
I have met too many men who have brought children into the world that they do not want, simply because they are scared of losing the woman in their lives. The relationship ends anyway, because it is based on a lie and the child/children suffer because they have a father who didn't want them. And the man is paying child support for children he didn't want. Vasectomy solves this dilemma and it is reversible if any man changes his mind later in life about having a family.
Yes I have a question…..do you have a mental illness?? Getting the snip to 'save the planet'?? Where do they get these idiots from…..
Mick, your comment ignores the contribution of overpopulation to all the major environmental issues facing the world today. Perhaps you would like to expand on your position and point out why you feel that way? By invoking stereotypical misinformation about mental illness you further undermine any position you may have had.
I find it inspiring how the people on this site calmly refuse to feed the trolls. Looking forward to the presentation today, keep up the good work RiAus!
I think this event is missing an important point. In Australia the issue with getting a vasectomy is not necessarily to with stigma but cost & difficulty especially If you live anywhere but a major city. We looked at this procedure a few years ago. Our GP told us in our area there were only 2 specialists who performed the procedure & neither would do it for public patients. it would take 3 preparatory visits with a specialist ( cost adding up to about 500 dollars after the medicare rebate) then admission to day surgery and my husband would need to go under a general. Neither surgeon in our area did the procedure under a local. the whole cost came to about 6,000 dollars as far as we could estimate ( no-one would give us exact figures). We were concerned about my husband going under a general because he has M.E. & we would have had to borrow the money but decided to go ahead with the initial appointment so we could consider our options but it turned out to be a moot point as the surgeon we were referred to wouldn't give us an appointment because we didn't have private insurance. We gave up after than and just kept using condoms. Curiously I could have had a tubal ligation as a public patient but as it required me convincing a Specialist that I really didn't want more children ( again over 3 expensive preparatory visits with no guarantee that the surgeon would agree) several days in hospital ( I was primary income earner in a casual position at the time) and there was a 2-3 year waiting list we abandoned that idea as well. If Doctors & Governments are serious about this they need to address the issue of affordability & accessibility as much as stigma especially in areas outside major cities and where surgeons clearly use & abuse their monopoly.

"I ordered a pair of these for my husband without having him try them on, so I was a little nervous on the sizing. We were in the store and he couldn't take his eye off of these shoes, so when I got back to Korea I ordered them for Christmas. When our kids gave him the box he lit up like a Christmas Tree, he immediately tried them on and fell in love. He has worn them several times around town and loves the look, the versatility and says once broken in will be very comfortable.A must have for any man's closet!"

Federer sets up Tomic clash
A review of Thursday's men's singles action at the Australian Open.
- Related Content
Roger Federer swatted aside the challenge of Russian veteran Nikolay Davydenko to join title contenders Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in the third round of the Australian Open.
Federer was at his elegant best to cruise through 6-3 6-4 6-4 and improve his head-to-head record against Davydenko to 18 wins from 20 matches.
The world number two, bidding to become just the second man in history to claim five Australian Open crowns, will now meet home hope Bernard Tomic.
Tomic earlier hit back to beat Daniel Brands in four sets, after which he talked up his chances of beating the 17-time major winner.
"I feel so confident," he said. "It is the perfect time to play him. I've got a good attitude to win, and I think I can do it."
The pair met at the fourth-round stage last year with Federer dropping just eight games in a masterclass.
"That was the second time I played Roger and he played pretty well that day," Tomic added.
"I have my tactics on what I have to do. We'll see."
Federer was fortunate to play his match with Davydenko after the sun had gone down on a brutally hot day in Melbourne.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Murray both enjoyed energy-conserving straight-set wins.
With temperatures exceeding 100F, getting the job done quickly was the order of the day and Murray and Tsonga were clinical in dispatching Joao Sousa and Go Soeda respectively.
World number three Murray was rarely troubled by the Portuguese, winning 6-2 6-2 6-4 in one hour and 41 minutes, while Tsonga spent 22 minutes more in seeing off Japanese Soeda 6-3 7-6 (7/1) 6-3 as both progressed through to the third round.
Next up for the Scot is a meeting with resurgent Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis, who beat 25th seed Florian Mayer for the loss of just six games.
Although pleased with the win, seventh seed Tsonga was not pleased by the manner in which he achieved it.
"I didn't play a good match," complained the Frenchman. "I didn't have the right attitude in this match. Hopefully I will be better in the next one and try to play my game more than I did today."
Tsonga will play Blaz Kavkic in round three after the Slovenian came through a five-set struggle with wild card James Duckworth.
Three more Frenchman also advanced: Gael Monfils, Gilles Simon and Richard Gasquet.
Monfils continued his comeback from injury by outlasting Lu Yen-Hsun 7-6 (7/5) 4-6 0-6 6-1 8-6. In a remarkable finish, Monfils clinched the match on his fourth match point having served double faults on the previous three.
He will now play Simon, seeded 14th, who needed four sets to beat Jesse Levine. Ninth seed Gasquet beat Alejandro Falla in three.
Sixth seed Juan Martin Del Potro cruised past Benjamin Becker 6-2 6-4 6-2.
Milos Raonic, seeded 13, and 17th seed Philipp Kohlschreiber will meet in the last 32 after straight-set wins.
Raonic beat Lukas Rosol while Kohlschreiber was too strong for Amir Weintraub.

Chapter 6
The people must first make restitution for sin, then offer a trespass offering, and thereby gain forgiveness through atonement made by the priests.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and
3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is
5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

I was thinking about this. Christmas, the actual day, is excellent; waking up to presents and spending time with your family. It's very unique; however, on Christmas, the excitement, the atmosphere, the Christmas movies that are shown on TV, the lights, the festivals, the carols ... their all gone. It's just sort of concluding the holiday.
I love Christmas, don't get me wrong, but the excitement prior is better IMO.

Linda Dougherty's curator insight, October 12, 2013 10:14 AM
Have started showing students during Google presentation tutorials how to outline their presentations like they always do with those bulleted lines on the slides. Then take those sentences, change them into titles, and put one title on each slide. Select one image per slide. If needed, add URL links. Add the works cited for the image in tiny print at the bottom of the slide. Move those outlined bulleted points to the note section or toss into a document to print out for a group presenetation.
No more slides crowded with text and 4 images! No more students sleeping in the classroom while their classmates read from the Smartboard.
Susan Daniels's curator insight, January 13, 2014 9:30 AM
This is a PowerPoint presentation that would have sent my former employers into shock. They had no imagination whatsoever. However, Eugene Cheng clearly has wonderful artistic skills and knows how to present them. In addition, he clearly has a nice budget to work with. These kind of beautiful graphics don't come at low price. I thoroughly enjoyed glancing through this presentation and plan to use it as inspiration for future projects.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
The Emery County School Board met recently at Ferron Elementary. Principal Brian Dawes welcomed the board to the school. "Welcome to our school, we have a great school and staff here at Ferron. Everyone appreciates so much everything the board has done for us.
"As you know, last year Ferron did not make AYP. We took that as a challenge and made a plan to achieve AYP this year. I am pleased to report that Ferron Elementary has met, and in most cases exceeded the benchmarks set by the State of Utah. Everyone has worked extremely hard to insure that the students understood the requirements of the testing, and we nearly doubled the percentage of our special needs students. Each year, the state increases the acceptable level by 6 percent. We not only met that increase, but we exceeded it.
"In our main hall, we have added a patriotic gallery. Artwork, pictures of the founding fathers and historic events, along with copies of many of the UniteS States' important documents are on display. This is a child friendly display and has been a great aid for the teachers on Constitution Day here at Ferron Elementary. This gallery was a project completed by our PTO.
"The enrollment this year is 225 with two full time kindergarten classes, each with 20 students and three sessions of pre-school. One area of emphasis here at the school is to develop a tier 2 level of instruction. This provides specific intervention for the special education SOAR program. This will improve reading comprehension," said Dawes.
Carol Ediger and Jon Crawford showed a power point presentation which was prepared by the Utah Education Association and explained the UEAs stance concerning funding of public education. This presentation, entitled No Excuses-Invest in Public Schools, is a campaign to encourage the Utah legislature to make a greater investment in public schools. This same presentation will be made at all the city council meetings in the county, and has also been shown to the Emery County Economic Development Council.
Neal Peacock introduced the power point by saying, "We are not talking about increasing or decreasing taxes, we are talking about an investment. Every Utah taxpayer deserves the best return on their investment.
"The Utah legislature is talking about a surplus, if that surplus was applied to eliminate the corporate income tax, that would create 2,200 new jobs. If that same surplus was spent on education, 5,900 new jobs would be created. Lower taxes do not guarantee a growing state. Investing in schools grows the economy more than investing in industry.
"By investing in schools, we mean an investment in every community in Utah. Public education provides a wealth of job opportunities and real estate values are higher around a thriving public school. Education reduces the gap between the rich and the poor, and public schools make no profit. Our goal here is to convince Utah's legislators that investing in school is smarter than giving tax breaks to out-of-state businesses.
"We have very successful public schools in Utah. Our students' SAT scores are higher now than they have been in 30 years. If you take out the private schools and home schooled students from the average, that average raises. Utah ranks in the top six in the US for the percentage of high school graduates.
"In Utah, an average of $95 million worth of volunteer hours are put in at the public schools, That means there are a great number of parents who care enough to spend their time helping in our schools. Another thing to consider, for those who think administrative costs are too high, Utah ranks 51st among the states for the amount spent on administration. We are highest in the class sizes, lowest on per pupil spending, and we spent the smallest percentage of tax dollars on education," said Peacock.
Peacock went on to say, "During a recent poll, citizens stated their wishes for the public school system. The wishes were: lower class sizes; quality teachers; adequate resources; and better pre-school and kindergarten programs. Our policy makers in Utah begin programs and provide no means of funding the program, and enact laws that decrease funding for educational programs, and then on top of that they are considering funding private schools. We need a long term commitment to schools and teachers so they will make a long term commitment to the students.
"How can we make our voice be heard? I feel the number of people involved trumps the number of dollars. Let the legislators know how you feel. Join GREAT (Grass Roots Education Action Team), and tell the legislators that there are no excuses, not for teachers, not for students, not for administrators, and not for legislators, not to have the best for our public schools. We need to get the legislators back to the same place as the people of Utah," finished Peacock.
The school board approved to hire Misti Sweeten as the special needs educational assistant at Green River High School, and Joan Brinkerhoff as a bus driver. They also approved for Valinda Roush to attend a conference in San Antonio, Texas in February, 2006. Also approved was the meeting schedule for the 2006 year. The next school board meeting is Jan. 4, 2006 at San Rafael Junior High School.

Paying the right price for goaltenders
Cam Charron
July 19 2012 04:48AM
Tomas Vokoun, not a Toronto Maple Leaf
One of the most worrying things about cheering for an NHL team is the feeling that, out of nowhere, the organization will make a horrific trade, handicapping the team's future for minimal return. That's not exactly the case in Toronto, as it was a series of moves made by the two previous regimes that left Brian Burke in a tight spot, none that really concentrated on prospects or the league heading to a salary cap system. JP Nikota looked at that in some detail yesterday.
Overpaying for players is a pretty sensitive issue for the Leafs and their fans. Particularly when their star player was brought over for a fairly expensive price tag, the last thing this team needs is to pay the premium the Vancouver Canucks want for Roberto Luongo or another goaltender and have them disappoint in Toronto because you really can't predict goaltending.
But this morning we'll do just that. I want to look a bit at recent goalie movement, as well as the price and success of bringing a goalie to a new team.
In the comment section of yesterday's video post, leafer4life said we were asking the wrong questions. It's not about "choosing between which inexperienced rookie NHL goaltender is better", it's about "why did the Leafs not move aggressively" to sign an available goaltender?
This is actually a very legitimate point and one that I'm upset I haven't made yet. This isn't the first summer that the Leafs have been without a goalie. In his first full season as general manager, Brian Burke traded Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala to Anaheim for Jean-Sebastien Giguere. That wasn't the deal made to secure the goalie of the future, but going into that year, it was obvious the Leafs had a problem. Toskala was purported to be the team's starting goaltender. He was coming off a year where he registered a .903 even strength save percentage (EV SV%) in 53 starts, which bested only Chris Osgood's .902 among starters that season.
A brief history of recent Leafs goaltending
I guess you could make the argument that the Leafs signed Jonas Gustavsson that summer, but there was no guarantee of his success. Gustavsson was straight out of Sweden with no NHL experience, so the Leafs were forced to wait until January for Plan B. Giguere came in and posted a .915 EV SV% and along with Gustavsson's .910 and whatever god-awful number Toskala put up in his half season, the team combined for the fourth worst EV SV% in the league with .906.
That summer again, the Leafs stood pat on the goaltending front for the most part. They signed Jussi Rynnas, Ben Scrivens and Mark Owuya, all unproven at the time. James Reimer came in midseason and impressed, enough so that Burke was confident in not re-signing Giguere that summer. Reimer put up a .933 but Giguere and Gustavsson each had a .910. The Leafs were now a middle-of-the-pack goaltending team, their .916 EV SV% as a team being the 17th best in the league.
At this point, the Leafs left themselves unprepared for Reimer's second year regression to the mean, often attributed as the "sophomore slump". Like Chemmy wrote for this blog last summer:
A great rookie season is often built on an unsustainable run over 20 games or so. As we see with things regressing to the mean a long run of unsustainably good play is often followed up by a bad stretch: a sophomore slump. This season we'll see how Reimer plays for a whole year. For me his target should be something around 60GP with a .915SV% though a 0.910SV% wouldn't be terrible (and is about what the three year running league average is).
Reimer of course, got hurt and played just 34 games. His save percentage fell to .900, not .910, showcasing a much worse sophomore slump than we could have imagined. Again, Burke did not have his "Plan B".
Now here's the issue… the argument has been made that Reimer together with Ben Scrivens (Screimer?) is probably the safest option for the Leafs going forward. Again, though, it's just running on faith. Burke shuffled around some deck chairs in Vancouver before settling on Dan Cloutier as the starter, who had two horrific playoff runs behind a very good team and got hurt in a third. Burke was also the man who waived Ilya Bryzgalov and his $4.25M cap hit over the older Giguere to free up space for Jonas Hiller. I wouldn't exactly call him the brains behind too many good goaltending decisions in the past.
Of note, who's been moved?
My criteria was at least 41 games for a season, with a save percentage of over .910 over the period of time. This means that the goalie was likely quality before, and after, the move. Info via capgeek and Hockey-Reference.
Two years ago…
Mike Smith
Price: Free agent, signed by Phoenix 2 years at $2M a season
The skinny: Smith has never been a terrific goalie except in a Dave Tippett system. He had a .900 EV SV% in Tampa Bay making $2.2M and was bad enough that the Lightning reached out for a midseason acquisition in Dwayne Roloson. He was signed in, and thrived, in Phoenix last year, but that could be a one-year thing.
Tomas Vokoun
Price: Free agent, signed by Washington 1 year at $1.5M, signed by Pittsburgh 2 years at $2M a season
The skinny: The Leafs reportedly kicked the tires on Vokoun this summer but didn't want to offer the 36-year old goaltender the second year. Vokoun also apparently took a discount last summer to go to Washington and the chance to play for a championship. His .927 EV SV% made him a key reason in the Capitals even making the playoffs, as they were a worse team than people anticipated.
Ilya Bryzgalov
Price: Free agent rights traded to Philadelphia for Matt Clackson, 3rd round choice and future considerations, signed by Philadelphia 9 years at $5.67M a season
The skinny: This is the classic case of overpaying for a goaltender. Bryzgalov notably struggled in Philadelphia this season, but finished with a league-average EV SV% and will likely improve on that next season.
Jose Theodore
Price: Free agent, signed by Florida 2 years at $1.5M a season
The skinny: Theodore probably could have been a stop-gap option. He had a .915 EV SV% in 2011 with the Wild, not great, but better than Gustavsson at a reasonable price. He had a .924 in Washington a year prior. This is maybe a goalie the Leafs could have more aggressively pursued. He had a fairly good campaign with the Florida Panthers with a .928 EV SV%, although that's somewhat boosted since Florida may inflate shot counts.
Craig Anderson
Price: Traded to Ottawa by Colorado for Brian Elliott, signed as free agent by Ottawa 4 years, $3.19M per season
The skinny: Craig Anderson has always been a very good goalie on fairly average teams and frankly, I'm surprised it took until last summer for Anderson to get his first serious NHL contract. Anderson's career save percentage is .913, not outstanding, but above the NHL average, and in Ottawa last season was their strongest weapon in net, registering a league average .920 EV SV% but was a workhorse, starting 60 games.
Like Theodore, a guy the Leafs could have conceivably pitched for but didn't, although Anderson represents a fairly longer-term solution.
Brian Elliott
Price: Traded to Colorado by Ottawa for Brian Elliott, signed as free agent by St. Louis 1 year, $600K
The skinny: A cheap guy who played way over his head in St. Louis this last season, making his way onto this list. Originally intended to be a backup for the Blues, he still will be, as Jaroslav Halak had the reigns for that team, starting more games including in the playoffs before he got hurt. St. Louis re-signed him to a 2-year deal worth $3.6M ($1.8M per year) mid-season, and they won't get nearly as good goaltending with him.
Three and four years ago…
Jaroslav Halak
Price: Traded to St. Louis by Montreal for Lars Eller and Ian Schultz
The skinny: This may work out for the Blues. Halak, as noted above, is still the starter in St. Louis and is right for a Ken Hitchcock system. The Montreal Canadiens decided to keep Carey Price over Halak despite Halak's strong 2010 playoff run. While he's posted EV SV%'s of .933, .916 and .938 in his last three seasons. Pierre Gauthier, Montreal's then-GM, noted that a number of teams were involved, but the feeling from Montreal fans on Twitter is that Gauthier didn't necessarily shop Halak around. The Leafs prospect system at that time did not boast a prospect as strong as Lars Eller that was expendable, so the price was probably out of reach.
Antti Niemi
Price: Free agent, signed by San Jose 1 year, $2M
The skinny: After winning the Stanley Cup with Chicago in 2010, the Blackhawks waffled on re-signing Niemi to a long-term deal, wary of his price tag and he took the team to arbitration. The Hawks walked away from a $2.75M deal and the Sharks picked him off the wire. Niemi's not a perfect goaltender but has posted a .931 and a .926 in consecutive years in San Jose. There was little indication he'd hit numbers like that prior to his two years with the Sharks, registering a .914 EV SV% during his time in Chicago, regular season and playoffs.
Maybe a guy to take a gamble on, especially in that 2010 offseason when several prospects were signed. Who knows how he would have done in Toronto's system as opposed to San Jose's, although I am skeptical on team system affecting save percentage by a sizeable amount.
Kari Lehtonen
Price: Traded to Dallas by Atlanta for Ivan Vishnevskiy and a 4th round choice
The skinny: A mid-season deal for a guy who was perpetually injured, this deal came just nine days after the JS Giguere trade. I don't know, maybe Burkie was traded out? Lehtonen had had some decent numbers in Atlanta and has succeeded in Dallas.
The question is right on the mark. There are some goalies who have been moved for cheap who have been successful before and after the move. If the Leafs didn't have an opportunity to pull the trigger on Jaro Halak, I think that Craig Anderson, Kari Lehtonen and Jose Theodore could have been reasonable options in the Leafs net. The commitment by Burke to his young puck-stoppers is admirable, but there are multiple available goalies that would have instantly improved the Leafs goaltending situation if they were willing to pay the price.
I hear what you guys are saying. But just answer this please. Is Brian Burke doing all he possibly could to make the Leafs better even though he's not going after top free agents?
July 19 2012, 10:21AM
It might be worthwhile to have this, or something like this posted on all the nations sites.
The goalie situation is not the main problem. Rather Brian Burke has put Toronto at a steep disadvantage because he refuses to give out long contracts that circumvent the cap and refuses to sign offer sheets for RFA's. Ehically he may be right, but ultimately he makes it harder for the Leafs to compete. It's not a level playing field. He could have signed an offer sheet for Steve Stamkos last year, but refused. He may have good intentions, but it's like starting a game of chess without the queen.
Thanks for the post. And sorry if I came over the top in last post. I'm not happy if the leafs are seriously considering to send prospects or picks for another Toskala type unproven goalie.
July 20 2012, 05:52AM
@Eli York
Ummm yes, the goalie situation IS the main problem. The refusal to go after RFAs or give out contracts with tails put the Leafs at a theoretical disadvantage (because we have no idea if those players would have signed here anyway) but his failure to address the goaltending situation has put the Leafs at an actual disadvantage.
This is a great article, I agree that Burke's commitment to team youth is admirable but goaltending is one area where experience is needed, especially in the pressure cooker that is TO. Some say Leafs fans would be 'too hard' on Luongo, I think to the contrary we have SEEN terrible goaltending and will appreciate when someone can come in here and just give us average puck stoppage. I have one quick question about systems. You mentioned a positive impact with regards to the Tippett and Hitchcock systems, but discount team systems for Niemi. Why the distinction? I'm interested because I often wonder whether something like Elliott/Smith phenomena could actually ever happen in Toronto.

Gotta agree with PPP here, and add this: what team is really benefiting from RFA offer sheets? Besides the Weber offer which wouldn't have even made sense for TO (four firsts??) they do nothing to help you, and more often just lob a grenade at your competition. You mention the Leafs offering for Stamkos (TBL would've matched anything btw) but that is a terrible example as Tampa didn't even make the playoffs last year...largely due to lackluster goaltending. On the missed UFAs: B. Richards must be the example you are referring to (and I'm glad we missed on this, already starting to look bad for NYR) because we were never in the running for Parise, Suter or Kovalchuk regardless of whether we shelled out the term + $. See how smart you think Detroit is with their long deals now that their D is in shambles and they have too many good forwards locked up forever to properly rebuild. Same for NJD with their Kovalchuk 'win' now that Parise is gone. Burke is doing what he has to do: trying to return this franchise to respectability so UFAs want to sign here without needing to be signed for 15 years.

Isabel Fay is just one of any number of talented comic actresses plying her wares in Edinburgh. What puts her firmly among the better ones is that her sense of comedy is as strong as her thespian skills.
Basically, she knows how to tell a satisfying story, with characters that are more than two-dimensional grotesques. Whereas many people try to cram in as many different scenes into their show to illustrate their versatility, Alter Ego features just three – and one of them takes a good half hour on her own.
The trio are brought together at a wedding. First, me meet the event planner, a slutty, hard-drinking Australian who tales us of her hedonistic escapades with mates who have nicknames like 'Pisspot'. This is the simplest character of the lot, but her monologue is enlived with some splendid antipodean euphemisms, used sparingly. 'Vagina decliners' for gay men is a favourite. Disappointingly, it didn't get as a big a laugh as an old pub gag, but it deserved to.
Second is a hoity-toity, tweedy bellringer, who goes by the name of Margot, possibly in nod to the similar Good Life character. She gets chuckles from her slightly exaggerated mannerisms, especially the forced breathy laughs, but the humour is cemented when she spins a tale of a flirtation with a fellow campanologist. The combination of indignity at the man's impudence and her disgust at physical contact is a delight. Again she's larger-than-life, but Fay shows enough restraint to keep her almost believable.
Lastly, and most importantly, comes Blodwyn, the fantasist bride, who gets the entire audience involved in her dream wedding. Such interaction brings an enjoyable dynamism as her extended appearance builds up to the big moment. As she explains how she came to be there, her back story slowly unfolds, every sentence – and sometimes even a small gesture like the raising of an eyebrow, revealing some extra information about her character. It's an enjoyable journey Fay takes us on, as we empathise with her convincing creation.
And who, really, isn't going to leave happy when you've just witnessed, and possibly taken part in, a wedding, however fake. Lovely stuff.

I saw Isabel's first show as Anna, Magic Steve's Assistant and her follow up is just an inventive and hilarious! Loving the uptight bell-ringer, "...like a Ba-BOOON!" - great stuff. All three characters are superbly rendered and are both funny and unfortunate in their own way. She pays real attention to detail and is completely believable. A festival must-see!

This was great. Isabel Fey uses the scene of a wedding in an interesting and innovative way to show three contrasting characters - a wedding planner, a bell ringer and a bride-to-be. The characters are uniquely funny but also quite endearing. There is real depth all three girls, especially the bride who comes across as both scary and pitiful. I can imagine there is a whole village of oddball characters somewhere and I would thoroughly recommend this. There is also cake.
Emma-Jayne Sherry - 13/08/2007
Really enjoyed the show! Was a bit sceptical - as hadn't seen any of her work before, but really enjoyed it -and have since recommended it to friends / family! Thought her characters here side-splittingly funny (still chuckle thinking about the bells), and absolutely loved the ending! Really think this show is a classic festival gem - miss it, miss out. Only piece of advice - don't eat the wedding cake!
Sophie - 13/08/2007
This is an awesome show from a very funny young lady! The three characters are all completely different and truly unique - and all absolutely hilarious! I loved every minute of it.
Rory - 12/08/2007
A fantastic show - so much more than elongated sketches as so much has gone into creating each character Isabel Fay plays. The way she reveals each character through tiny details ensures that you're captivated throughout and end up genuinely liking the characters, which given they are comic creations is a triumph. Really enjoyed it.
Tom Brewer - 12/07/2007
A brilliant show! I went to see a preview of this on Monday and it was just so funny. If this is a work in progress I can't wait to see the real thing. Having been dragged along by a mate I wasn't sure what to expect because I'd never heard of her, but this show was hilarious - her comic timing is incredible and the script is surprising and very clever, and the end is priceless but I won't spoil it for you. She is also quite cute but this is besides the point!

ST Looking for A Good Home for #1 Overall
June 11 2011 08:06AM
The big news for Edmonton Oiler fans this week (aside from the Brule-Bono story having more sustain than the Stanley run of 2006) is that General Manager Steve Tambellini is listening to offers for the #1 overall pick. Is he serious?
Let me preface this by saying that I'm 99% certain that Jason Gregor's recent article on the subject is spot on. When Jason says "In the past month Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has become the consensus first overall pick. He is number one on every mock draft that I've seen, (if there is a reputable one that doesn't have him first please let me know) so I don't see why Tambellini would trade him" that makes sense to me and I'm sure all Oiler fans. As recently as late last night--early this morning, Redline Report's final rankings confirm RNH as their number one overall.
However, what if one team--one solitary team looking to make a splash--made a tremendous offer, Steve Tambellini would have to look at it. Right? Is there a team such as this? I count two.
I think the offer would need to solve two of the Oilers problems with a strong solution. Something so good that Steve Tambellini can feel he's addressed two needs by dealing one selection. Not a "#1 plus #19 plus #31 for "#2 and #11" solution, but rather the first overall pick for another pick high enough to secure a top flight position player and either another high pick or quality player/prospect.
The Winnipeg franchise arrives in Guess Who-ville with a solid young team capable of having strong seasons in the not too distant future. They have a couple of areas of need that could work out well for Edmonton:
- A need to put a face on the franchise. The Winnipeg team has all kinds of talent and a true young star in Evander Kane, but fans could get behind a splash at the draft and could adopt the first true Winnipeg roster player as their own.
- An extreme weakness at center, as described by Gabriel Desjardins in his look at the Winnipeg HC.
If the Oilers and Winnipeg start talking, is there a framework of a deal? Perhaps the number one overall pick and a pick/solid prospect for the number seven overall pick and defenseman Zach Bogosian? Remember, even if the top of the draft goes according to Hoyle, there will be an exceptional talent at number 7 overall.
Does that hold value? Say Sean Couturier or Ryan Strome or Dougie Hamilton plus Bogosian for number one overall and a lesser asset? I think it's worth thinking about.
The second trade has been discussed pretty much everywhere. The Jackets have the number 8 selection and are apparently looking to make a splash and make the playoffs before the end of next century. Is a high pick for Hemsky enough? It is if #83 isn't going to sign here a year from now. Is Hemsky healthy enough to risk a high pick on? Likely not, but desperate times call for desperate measures and Howson would know Hemmer pretty well.
The same group of players (minus one) would be available at number 8, so the Oilers could walk out of the top 10 with RNH and perhaps Dougie Hamilton, Ryan Murphy or Mika Zibanejad.
Nation Radio is on again today (12 noon local time) on Team 1260 radio. Guests scheduled to appear:
- AJ Haefele from Mile High Hockey will discuss the Avs at the draft. We'll attempt to get #2 and #11 from him in exchange for #1 and #19 and a promise to select Tyler Arnason first overall. We'll also give him supreme heck for changing his web nick to AJ Haefele from the classic "SlamDunkthe Funk."
- Kent Simpson, Edmonton Oil Kings commentator. We'll talk about the draft, what people who spend their winters in hockey rinks do in the summer and I'll ask him about the SCF.
- Cam Moon, Red Deer Rebels play by play man and a legendary WHL figure. We'll talk Memorial Cup, the draft, I'll ask him probing questions about the RNH EV/PP and Goals/Assists controversy and find out if he's lazier than Kent Simpson in the summertime (one imagines it's neck and neck).
- Kirk Luedeke is quickly becoming our draft guru at Nation Radio. Buddy knows his stuff, and came back from the combine with some juicy rumors about trade activity at the draft. We'll put him under a dim bulb, give him a rickety chair and mock the Bruins until he spills the beans.
Plus I'll pass along my updated top 30 for the 2011 draft and we'll read some of your top 10's that have been flooding in for our first Nation Radio contest. You still have time to enter by sending your top 10 prediction for the 2011 draft to email@example.com and I can say it's been fun reading through about 100 entries so far. I grew up thinking I was the only draft nerd on the planet, turns out I was born 30 years too soon. Dammit!
We're also on twitter @ItsNationRadio and you can catch the show on the Al Gore here.
I'm still of the opinion that everyone needs to pump their brakes a little over RNH, he's not Crosby, Tavares or Stamkos, he's not even Hall or Seguin. If he really was this once in a generational talent then we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.

"This pair of sandal is heaven, love the cushioning and i like the fact that the top is fabric, doesn't rub hard on my bunons at the same time keep my toes intact and not slipping out. I wear medium width and this one is perfect. Don't buy it in regular width if you have a wide feet, opening is a bit narrow."

President Barack Obama has named a computer scientist at UMass-Amherst a Presidential Innovation Fellow for her pioneering work designing intuitive tutoring software for students. The Presidential Innovation Fellow program was launched last year to recognize innovators in the private and non-profits sectors and IN academia. According to the White House website, the Fellows are developing projects with the potential to "save lives, save taxpayer money and fuel American job growth". UMass Research Professor Beverly Park Woolf is being recognized for her advocacy in using technology in education. She, along with fellow UMass researcher Ivon Arroyo, helped create Wayang Outpost, a free, computer-based tutoring system that identifies and responds to a student's emotions and pace to improve their learning. Woolf says she will spend the next year in Washington D-C working with top government innovators on ways to implement programs like hers in schools across Massachusetts and the nation which by and large, she adds, are currently failing their students.
"There are hundreds of projects similar to the Wayang Outpost. And the issue is how to bring all these systems or make them available in some repository in some way, or get them published by entrepreneurs and businesspeople, because these materials are not reaching the classroom. They are developed, they are evaluated, the results look really good, people can improve a whole letter grade. And then they lay fallow."
Woolf is one of 43 Presidential Innovation Fellows who were named this year at a White House ceremony last week.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Commissioners are hosting a series of meetings to inform the public about the Utah Association of Counties wilderness proposal. UAC began a series of meetings with members in March to discuss the idea of putting together a wilderness bill to present to Congress. Each county would take the lead on determining the amount of wilderness within their specific county that they could live with. The total package would be approximately the 1.9 million statewide acreage that was the BLM preferred alternative in their wilderness evaluation.
Governor Mike Leavitt has been working on a bill of his own which incorporates the 3.2 million statewide acreage which is the amount of wilderness the BLM found statewide although they only recommended the approximately 1.9 million acre figure.
The first meeting was held on Sept. 2 at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale. The meeting was sparsely attended by the public. Commissioner Drew Sitterud, who is the commission chair for 2003 conducted the meeting. He explained the UAC proposal and a little about the Redrock Wilderness Bill which is proposing nine million acres statewide. He said the SUWA bill currently has 145 cosponsors in the House and 13 Senators on board. Sitterud pointed out that the number of Redrock supporters has actually gone down.
Sitterud mentioned that the old West Desert Wilderness Bill is being used for the groundwork for the new proposal. Commissioner Ira Hatch informed the audience that a lot of the language in the West Desert Bill came from earlier Emery County bills which the West Desert Bill borrowed; strong language regarding water and prior existing rights to name a few. Sitterud pointed out that the other two congressman seemed to be on board, but our Rep. Jim Matheson was not. Sitterud's concern seemed to be that Emery County could be effected by amendments to such a bill and not have adequate representation as to the needs of the county.
Sitterud pointed out that 80.9 percent of Emery County is federally controlled and that we are pretty well controlled by them. Emery County Commissioners have attended all of the UAC meetings, but to this point have not joined forces with them. They have been asked by UAC to join in, but Hatch said, "We were pretty well clobbered the last time," which explains their hesitance to join forces to ask for a wilderness designation for any of Emery County. "Last time the big cry was not so much in opposition to what we were proposing but to the method and that we didn't give the people an opportunity to be involved. We are looking for a consensus: Do we want to get involved? Not get involved? Or take a middle road? There is no dispute, we do have areas within the Swell that do meet the criteria for wilderness. There are areas we could live with. If the wording in such a bill could include language that says if an area is not designated wilderness then it should be released from a WSA. We are right at the starting gate on this, if it is not the consensus of the people then we won't get involved," said Hatch.
The comment was made that citizens might think the commissioners were now pushing wilderness since the monument proposal was defeated at the polls in Nov. 2002. Kirk Johansen, public lands council member said, "You are having a series of meetings now to inform people as to what is going on, but you might have those county members who will, six months down the road, say they didn't know anything about it and say you're trying to shove wilderness down their throats."
The commissioners said that they would make no major move without the support of the county.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said he had attended another UAC meeting just last week which was called to see where the legislators stood on the issue and to explain UACs position to them. Kofford described Rep. Bishop and Rep. Cannon as being hesitant to say the least. Rep. Bishop is new and wanted to take a look at it. Rep. Cannon seemed to think it would be better to let it sit for a couple of years to see what happens in the next Presidential election. UAC would like to see the bill advance this fall.
The big unknown seems to be if such a bill goes before Congress, where will it end up and what will it look like as a finished product. Hatch pointed out that prior legislation that the county tried to pass became unrecognizable as the amending process began and had to be pulled from the House floor. There doesn't seem to be much hope that the same thing wouldn't happen again with the UAC bill.
The commissioners stressed the purpose of these meetings throughout the county is just to let residents know what's on the table. Kofford said if the county is not involved and listening then it could just happen without our knowledge and input. He pointed out with the defeat of the monument proposal that they are reluctant to get involved but, "We have no choice but to get involved." The commissioners stressed the need for county residents to get involved and write letters to them or call and speak to them. Also the meeting forum is a good way to let the commissioners know the direction residents think they ought to take in this wilderness matter. Hatch stressed that they would in no way move forward without county support.
Sitterud also reported on the RS-2477 roads, he said a meeting had been held at the governor's office and all of the pre-1976 roads matched up pretty well. Sitterud said they would feel good if they were to get 40 or 50 percent of the roads. Currently, no roads are being pursued within the WSAs as per the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of the Interior and Gov. Leavitt. After current RS-2477 road issues are resolved, then the county will take a look at whether or not to litigate the roads not included under the MOU. Sitterud said that he didn't see any other way besides litigation. He pointed out the RS-2477 process is not moving very fast, but Emery County is one of the forerunners and they were complimented at the governor's office on the amount and quality of work that has been done on the RS-2477 road claims within Emery County.
Kofford said that Emery County is the jewel of the whole state and he couldn't see UAC moving forward if the San Rafael is not there. The Swell will be involved and the key is not to let the acreage get any bigger than the BLM preferred acreage. Hatch said that different acreages have been talked about statewide and he sees a need to really zero in on what qualifies in Emery County. There are lands within the WSAs which don't qualify as true wilderness. It might be 200,000 or 300,000 acres within the county and we need to determine that.
The question was also brought up as to why UAC did not get on board with the governor and his proposal. Sitterud said that UAC was considering 18 different alternatives and that statewide there are 83 WSAs.
Kofford also explained that the BLM is using Areas of Critical Environment Concern as another method around multiple use. These ACECs are managed how the BLM deems fit to protect any particular resource. He also felt that in the area of ACECs lies the next lawsuit. He also pointed out that ACECs could be worse than wilderness.
One audience participant pointed out that handouts might be useful for future meetings with acreage amounts for wilderness lined out and other numbers for clarification purposes. One question was raised about management of the public lands and whether or not we have a voice in that process.
Ray Petersen, public lands director, pointed out that the county has been involved in the resource management plan process with the BLM, but they are just one voice. Wilderness is designated by Congress and trumps the local office. He pointed out that currently there is no wilderness designated in Emery County.
One audience member pointed out that SUWA has the political clout and to go up against them we must be committed to a long, hard fight. Most wilderness supporters are Democrats from back East with California and Colorado on board. How much political clout does Utah have? SUWA always seems to throw in an amendment at the last minute.
Hatch said they will do everything they can to promote the desires of the Emery County citizens.
The consensus at this meeting seemed to be that the county should get involved and make a stand and go down fighting if it comes to that.

My baby is on a good nap/sleep schedule. It usually takes under 15 minutes to change him, read a story, and get him to sleep and down on our mattress. The problem is that he wakes up all the time. If I'm lucky he will sleep 45 minutes straight. Occasionally he will sleep 1.5 hours. But last night, he woke up an average of 3 times per hour between 7-10. Once I lay down with him he's awake every hour on he hour (if I'm lucky). I'm starting to wonder if the people that are opposed to sleep training have babies that sleep for 2-3 hours at a time. I'm starting to feel like a slave. I've been using the no cry solution --- got baby to sleep off of breast and sleeping 45 minutes is a miracle for our baby. He's 7 months now. I'm not thrilled about sleep training --- but is my baby really getting a decent night sleep waking up so often? I'm not. He's 7 months. Any new suggestions? I'm looking for new ideas or suggestions? Some motivation for me? I'm losing hope.

i wouldn't worry about how much sleep he's getting. although he's waking, he is probably not fully waking, so he's still getting sleep in. have you checked for food allergies? many foods can be nighttime offenders. wheat, dairy, eggs, dyes, and many others can cause night disturbances.
Food Allergies
He was a horrible sleeper from day 1 and I tried eating nothing on the list of problem foods - but I never saw a difference and gave up. I've been thinking I should try out the chiropractor, especially since he was born c-section. We'll see! Most of my friends did versions of CIO and they make it sound so easy...that on bad nights I wonder why we are suffering so much! But after looking through the forums last night and realizing I'm not alone I felt better.

The Eldorado High School girls' basketball team had very little problems putting away Fairfield Monday night, winning 51-27 to improve to 2-0 in Black Diamond Conference play and stand at 6-2 on the season.
Kourtney Phillips led the Eagles with 15 points and five rebounds, while Ashton Unthank had 10 points to also finish in double figures.
Taylor Goodley tossed in seven points and pulled down six rebounds, while Paige Zertuche and Erica Graczyk each had four points. Graczyk led the Eagles with a team-high 10 boards.
Abby Steed finished with four points, while Jacquelyn Artman, Caitlyn Stafford and Brooklyn Peavler all had two points. Riley Duckworth tossed in a free throw.
"I thought tonight right from the start we were very aggressive on offense, but not so much on the defensive side of the ball," head coach Josh Bradley said. "We didn't do a good enough job in the second quarter switching the screens on offense and we picked up some cheap fouls."
As a result Fairfield got nine of their 15 points in the first half were from the free throw line.
"The third quarter we really picked our defense up and were really able to blow the game open. Overall it was a very good team effort, I thought everyone played hard and did there job tonight."
The junior varsity club won 35-20, where Stafford led the way with eight points.
Steed scored six points, while Peavler finished with five and Lacy Jo Bradley scored four points, as did Duckworth. Dresdyn Bramlett had two points.
On Saturday, the Eagles lost a close contest on the road, falling to Herrin 49-46.
Phillips once again led all scorers with 15 points, including five rebounds and five steals, while Unthank tossed in 12 and Goodley put in 10 points.
Zertuche scored five points, while Graczyk and Steed each had two points.
Herrin jumped out to a 21-13 lead after one quarter of play, but Eldorado was able to settle in, out scoring Herrin in the second and third quarters.
"Their size and strength really bothered at first," Bradley said. "Once we settled down, we got in to a pretty good rhythm offensively in the first half."
Party of that rhythm Bradley explained was the fact that Phillips, Unthank and Goodley all knocked down outside shots and did a good job of attacking the Herrin defense.
"In the second half, Herrin came out and held the ball, they were hoping we would come out of our zone. We did a really good job of staying disciplined and forced them into a few turnovers. We battled hard all night long, the kids gave everything they had and end the end it was just a little short. I couldn't of been prouder of there effort, Herrin is a good ball club, and they outsized us by a couple of inches at each spot."
Page 2 of 2 - The Eldorado JV club won 46-17, where Steed scored a team-high 12 points and Bradley added 11 points.
Duckworth tossed in seven points, while Artman chipped in with six. Bramlett and Peavler each finished with four points and Stafford scored two points.

On top of that, the Shichibukai are meant to be a balancing power in the world(according the marines).
Now, with Doflamingo--did anyone really believe Sanji had a chance? Certainly I would have liked to see Sanji get at least one hit in, but he WAS facing DOFLAMINGO. Like someone else mentioned, Doflamingo has a near hacks ability, and one unaware of it will very likely become what Jora metaphorically noted as "the fly ensnared in the spider's web." Therefore, we shouldn't judge what Sanji was incapable of, but what Doflamingo is. In my mind, Doflamingo is one of the top tier pirates in the entire OPverse, and therefore should be on par with many of the names any of us would likewise nominate for that honor. In fact, when considering the Warlords Oda introduced and made to play a heavy role in the first half of the manga, Crocodile, Moria, Hancock, and Jinbei, and their outcomes thereafter, it is understandable that one could delineate who the powerhouses of the faction are and who is more worthy of NW caliber, that being Doflamingo, Kuma, and Mihawk. Of course, Jinbei and Crocodiles post-time skip power shall likely speak for itself soon enough, but for me, Doflamingo is beyond compare and question at this point in the story line for being NW material. Luffy and gang certainly have their will cut out for them this arc.
I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see Luffy defeat Doflamingo. In fact my spider sense is telling me that after destroying the factory (if they can) they'll try and get away from Dressrosa for a while to regroup and so that Luffy can learn about Doflamingo's DF ability. And when Doflamingo catches up to them the time for their anticipated clash would be at hand. I could see a defeated Doflamingo being finished off by Kaido who then goes after Luffy. Livin' dangerous.

Eat your way through October for a delicious exploration of Seattle's best restaurants! Lucky for you, Seattle Restaurant Week extends across Lake Washington to the shores of Kirkland. We invite you to reserve a table at bin on the lake for Chef Dylan Giordan's homage to autumn.
Featured specifically for Seattle Restaurant Week, bin on the lake's menu showcases a delicious array of thoughtfully-prepared flavors to celebrate the season's finest ingredients. With so many enchanting ways to customize your dining experience, you'll be back more than once to enjoy each of chef's culinary sensations. After all, who can pass up a melt-in-your-mouth braised beef brisket or bacon doughnut holes with maple anglaise? The restaurant also displays 80 fantastic wines available by the glass to sip, sample, and savor with each course. Reserve your table today to enjoy amazing food, wine, and views at our lakeside landing!
