Flames RFA PROFILES: BLAIR JONES
Vintage Flame
June 11 2012 08:33AM
Still the best picture out there of the Center and his expression sums up the Flames season, but what about this RFA should we pay the most attention to? By no means is Blair Jones going to dazzle fans with his offensive prowess 'cuase that's just not his game. What he did bring to the Flames a hard nosed effort night in and night out, and the opportunity to give his teammates a little more skating room.
Though he only managed to get in 21 games with Calgary before getting injured, Jones was able to make a lasting impression. No matter where you sat in the Saddledome, odds are you could hear the fans (*Cough* Book of Loob and Walk Invisible) changing the chants of "Go Flames Go" to the ever growing popular, "Go Blair Jones". Plainly put? By doing what he does, he was able to let the others on the team, namely the offensive forwards, do what they needed to do.
In only 21 games Jones grew into a specific role with his new club, giving the Flames something they were lacking since Daymond Langkow and his salt and pepper goat-ee were shipped down to Arizona in exchange for Lee Stempniak. He was and remains a forward that would grind the opposition, both physically and verbally; the best part about it, he wasn't half bad at it either. Injuries up the middle made it necessary to be able to slide the remaining pivots up and down the line-up on a constant basis. While Jones was never going to be looked upon to fill a goal scorers role, and he didn't play on a line with them, he was looked upon to free up the ice for those guys like Iginla, Tanguay and Cammalleri.
It was tough enough for Brent Sutter to be able to utilize his goal scorers in primarily offensive situations this year. When Jones was healthy, he actually made it a bit easier because he wasn't a liability in his own zone. He is not the kind of player where you have to crunch the numbers on his advanced stats to get a feel for his role on this, or any other team, but one number warrants honourable mention. His 44.1 offensive zone start was the second lowest amongst forwards, slightly ahead of Lance Bouma, which meant the lion's share of his ice time was spent trying to get the puck out of the Calgary end. With the confidence from the coach to do his job, guys like Iginla and Tanguay could do theirs. During the 21 game span with Jones in the line-up Iginla recorded 7 goals and 17 points.
One of Jones best qualities on the ice is his work ethic. He is a high energy guy who can ignite the play of his teammates. He'll be that guy that who through the end of the boards for you and probably try to take one or two of the opposition with him. If he's not hitting someone, then he is usually beaking at guys that he's going to hit them. The most entertaining part of that if you are sitting low enough in the bowl to hear him occasionally is that he does it all with a smile on his face. If this guy could score, he would definitely be challenging Glencross for the nickname "Scoreface".
The expectation for Jones should be to be able to pick up where he left off prior to being injured. He could be a damn good fourth line center, assuming the top three are possibly Cammalleri, Backlund and the recently signed Cervenka (I'm not sure where Stajan slots in just yet). That is a good fit for Blair and assuming that there is some room there for offensive improvement if he picks up the odd garbage goal, then it's going to be a good fit for the Flames as well.
There's a lot to like about this guy and his RFA status. At 26, he doesn't have blazing speed or flash of any kind, but is still young enough that he won't be a boat anchor on the fourth line. He can also kill some penalties without the coach and the fans holding their collective breaths for two minutes or less.
Not a lot of people expect the offense from Jones, after all he only had a goal and three assists in his time with Calgary, so I don't think there is any chance that he will be a disappointment per se even if he doesn't improve that area. It would be nice to see him chip in the dirty ones now and again, but by no means should the Flames ever depend on it.
Rather, even though, not much stock is ever put into a stat like a player's +/-, it's encouraging towards his defensive modelled game that he finished last season only -1. In fact he was a +2 with Calgary.
Feaster has said that they already have in mind with their UFA's and RFA's who they will keep and who they won't. Jones' cap hit was a measly 525K for last season and it's not going to take a whole lot more than that to get him under contract again. In keeping with my belief that Calgary should not be handing out any big dollar, long-term deals to any current player on the roster, Jones will be a bargain buy.
Not to suggest that he signs for the same money, but if they want to stick to a short term deal, they could most likely get Jones for four years at $4 Million per.... No wait, wrong Jones; that was the Avs. Blair Jones could most likely be signed for a max deal of two years, and a whopping $1.5 Million total (or less).
What say you FlamesNation? Should Jones stay, or be given a nice set of steak knives for his brief visit in Cowtown?
I like Jones, and I think it's a no-brainer to resign him. But I did notice 1 thing;
"With the confidence from the coach to do his job, guys like Iginla and Tanguay could do theirs. During the 21 game span with Jones in the line-up Iginla recorded 7 goals and 17 points."
Had Iginla maintained that PPG pace over a span of 82 games, he would've finished the year with 66 points, which is actually 1 point lower than his actual total this year.
As it stands the Flames look fairly small down the middle; Backlund, Cervenka and Stajan are hardly big guys. Jones adds some energy, grit and aggresive play down the middle, perfect for a fourth liner.
Keep the contract reasonable, two years in the $650 - $750 k range. Keep the contract short, and don't overpay for a fourth liner.
Keeping in mind what it was that Jonesy was asked to do, I was very impressed with his game. He is the ideal 4th line centre that all deep teams require. I like the idea of re-signing him as a cost efficient role player/penalty killer
Absolutely resign & even lock him up for 3 years at a bargain. Watched his game right from the start & agree with other posts that his energy game was a breath of fresh air, his confidence grew on his new team & the coach was playing him in way more situations than what he is even getting credit here for. He was actually showing an offensive upside, watch the game in San Jose (I think in Feb) where Iggy played like a beast & Jones was wheeling. He even got under Thorntons skin. I saw the offensive upside that gave him 3rd line potential. When he got injured in Phoenix, it was in overtime & Sutter was playing him on that penalty kill & he was fearlessly blocking shots. When he got injured, I saw a hole, he's the first player that I felt came close to what a guy like Neimenen did for us on that 2004 run. Lock this guy up at a bargain. No brainer.
Anywhere from 0.6 to 0.75 AAV sounds about right to me. He's a decent option for the 4th line as someone who can also play a little bit of a larger role as you mentioned. I don't think anyone will be dancing in the streets over his re-signing, but I'd certainly be on board with it.
It'd be downright moronic not to sign him, he'll get a Jackman like deal and he'll center a 4th line of Bouma - Jones - Jackman and that line should do really well. And if they play like they showed they can we could end up deploying them as low as 40% Ozone starts giving the other 3 lines a little more of a scoring oppurtunity.
The only downside to that is the casuals who don't understand possesion or deployments and only look at counting stats because theirs will be quite low. But if they give Iggy, Backs, Camms and all more oppurtunities to score it's well worth the ivestment.
June 11 2012, 09:24AM
On the Flames depth chart - Cammalleri and Cervenka can play the wing too, so there's certainly some room for Jones and (sigh) Stajan.
June 11 2012, 10:08AM
@Old Chester
Heh. Good catch Chester.
The real tell would have been how tough Iggy's minutes were in that span and how much better he did in terms of scoring chance differentials and such. Jarome's issue these days isn't scoring per se, it's that he gives up way yoo much going the other way when he has to play against other stars and such.
June 11 2012, 10:17AM
We signed Jackman; why wouldn't we re-sign Jones? He's certainly brings much more than Jackman, who I do like.
Didn't know he was a "beaker". Interesting. Wonder if he can handle himself if someone challenges him. Gloves off. ??
June 11 2012, 10:21AM
he'd cost nothing and is a serviceable bottom 6 forward. And if he tried, he can be a bit of a pest.
It's not even a question in my eyes
June 11 2012, 10:25AM
PS that Blair Jones wtf pic is priceless. I use it for just about everything.
June 11 2012, 10:34AM
He plays with the kind of work ethic I want all the Flames to play with. I hope it's contagious.
That one shift when he got injured in Phoenix killing that penalty in overtime...that shift is Blair Jones personified. If everyone played with that kind of determination they wouldn't need him.
That's a tough thing to measure, but it can't be discounted.
Yeah, I'm fine with retaining Jones. He does a good job, knows his role, doesn't cost much. Him Bouma and Jackman will make a fine 4th line.
yup, anything 750 or less, he is t he type of pest this team needs. on an unrelated note hey detroit bouwmeester is available.
Retaining Jones and Backlund are two of the only no brainers Feaster has this season.
Jones is cheap. He is young. He fills an agitator roll that needs filling. Along with Bouma he fills in 2 thirds of a 4-line that is actually useful.
Throw in Nemisz, Moss, or a similar forward and you have a young shut down physical line for peanuts.
I am still at a loss on the Jackman signing though. Guy has heart. But he has zero utility beyond his ability to crash and bang. And he will look down right awkward in the d-zone next to Bouma and Jones.
June 11 2012, 01:20PM
I wouldn't cement Jackman into the opening day lineup just yet. Remember, there was some interest in him at the deadline, according to Feaster. He is now locked in for very little. Could be movable, as part of a package deal.
I have spoken of Derek Dorsett here before, as a 4th line RW. I'd love to have a guy like him on the flank w/Bouma abnd Jones. I know he's locked in w/Columbus, but if we move Bouwmeester over there (you never know), I'd find some way to pry Dorsett, as I think he has some offencive upside and potential. Move Jackman w/Bouwmeester. Dorsett as part of the package coming back (perhaps Bressard?)
Just thinking out loud on my lunch hour. I know this deal will never happen, but it's fun to consider moves sometime, as an armchair GM!
@ everton fc
I'd prefer to move JBo to a team that is usually higher than Calgary in the rankings/standings. At least, when we play them, we know he won't hit anyone (but his own goaltender) and we know his other weaknesses (and can exploit them).
Keep Jones. He's been quite useful and he can fly, he can fight, and he can crow... oh wait, that's Peter Pan. Qualify him and keep him around.
Your fourth line next season is likely Lance Bouma, Blair Jones and Tim Jackman.
I am completely fine with this. They're all cheap and useful.

I'd like for us to try to move J Bo to the Oilers for the #1 pick. Would be great for both teams I think.
Wow, unananimous (sp?) on re-signing Jones, I say NO however...just kidding. He is cheap, young, tries VERY hard and annoys other teams. So I think Flames should sign him, but use leverage since he is an RFA....just sign for 1-year deal so he STAYS playing that same way, then maybe next year sign him longer-term if needed (perhaps somone else emerges). As for similar players, I like Jackman but in a trade I say use him as bait, and I hope Aliu or Desbiens get more chances as I think they are hungry as slightly older young guys.
June 11 2012, 06:52PM
I love this guy's attitude. He looks like a complete irritant to his opponents, and it's beautiful to watch.
@Kevin R
I remember that game, Thornton couldn't believe the nerve the kid had. Totally got under his skin and did it well. After he got injured me and my buddies all talked about how his absence was felt. The intangibles are important with this guy.
I'm also on the bandwagon, re-signing Jones is a no brainer. I don't know if it's his size or his hustle, but when he's out there he looks like he's flying.
June 11 2012, 07:53PM
Stagan, Backlund, Jones, Cervenka, Bouma, Kolanos, Byron, Reinhart, Patterson, Granlund, Horak, Granthum, Arnold. How many of these are right handed centers? Feaster talked about how they were bringing an X's and O's coach. Hopefully he practices what he preaches when selecting personnel to play for the Flames. The answer is three and there is nothing fundamental about it.
@Loudog: That game had to be one of the best games I've seen Iggy play in some time. If he could play like that for even 30 games of the year he would have 85 points in a heartbeat. Dont know why they cant play like that more consistently, they would be a playoff team if they did.
Funny how time can change someone's perspective. I for one thought when the Flames traded for Jones on Jan 6 of this past season was for the lack of depth on the farm team. I felt that the trade was a good depth move and didn't have to give up anything significant in the trade for Jones. Even looking back at my comments the day after the trade was made were pretty harsh, and here I am now saying resign him. I guess as a fan you can always speculate but can never fully predict the outcome of trades.
However I was not the only one critical of Feaster of this trade and here are some comments from fellow bloggers to FN:
Reply #11 schevvy January 06 2012, 11:54AM +1 0 props The reason Mr. Jones was brought in was because he was a draft pick of Jay Feaster in Tampa Bay, and played for Brent Sutter in Red Deer. I guess they think he can help this team, because he knows Sutter's system. Expect a line of him, Ivanans and Jackman *shudder* .
Reply #23 Kevin R January 06 2012, 01:21PM +1 0 props Hearing out of LA sites talks with Flames surrounding Bourque. Probably best chance of us trading Bourque for anything would be there for a coach that knows how to push Bourques buttons. Hope something happens soon. This trade, meh.
Everton fc So a guy who doesn't necessarly play a physical game... Will toughen us up down the middle.
I'm a bit confused...??
If Jones becomes a serviceable depth player I'll be happy with that. Anything extra is a bonus.
Reply #31 jr_christ January 06 2012, 02:24PM +1 0 props I know the Flames fans are against a rebuild... and for obvious reasons.
However, are you all ok with slowly moving pieces of your team for nobodies? Isn't that even worse that rebuilding?
Reply #35 ChinookArch January 06 2012, 02:37PM +1 0 props If you give up nothing why should you expect to get something good back? The Flames need a lot, including a depth center/4th liner. I'm not excited by this deal, but the Flames may have picked up something for nothing. What is everyone expecting before the deadline - a blockbuster? It probably won't happen, if at all this season.
I thought I wanted to show that even the best supporters of the Flames fan can be wrong like I was.
June 12 2012, 10:19AM
If you mean Brassard won't toughen us up down the middle, he won't. What I had in mind was Cammy as a wing, and maybe even Cervenka. But I do get your point.
Ideally, if it could happen (say dumping at least JBo's and Kipper's salaries), Statsny as the #1 centre would be ideal.
I agree, too, that we must remember Jones couldn't crack a mediocre-at-best Bolts squad last season. Which is why he is nothing more than a servicable 4th-liner, at present.
@ Franko: :) Yeah I kinda remember that, but in my defense it seemed like a real minor level deal, Mikkelson did nothing here, I was even wondering why we gave the guy another contract. From the first game as a Flame, he caught my eye & really embraced his new team & determined to have an impact. One of the pleasant surprises from last year. At the time, I was just fed up with another garbage start & wanted to to fast forward a minny rebuild & was hoping for a higher profile trade. It does go to show you how fickle we are as fans eh.
@ Everton FC & Kevin R
Hey like I said previously I was guilty too in my assessment of the trade. Remember at the time Calgary got blasted by the Bruins 9-0 the night before. In retrospect, I think Feaster was using the trade to deflect some of the sting from the team in losing so badly.
With his brief 21 game run with the team before injury, I thought Jones like Baertschi brought energy, life, and optimism to the lineup.
After watching the Kings win the cup last night I thought that for every Kopitar you have on your team you have to have the Frasers and the Scuderi's to be successful. Although Jones may never be a # 2 center, # 4 he provides the Flames another piece in the right direction.

Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Mike Wallace Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the left-leaning Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released its alternative budget. Its budget would increase taxes on middle-class Canadians, engage in freewheeling government spending and close the doors to new markets for Canadian businesses. In other words, it is the type of economic plan the opposition would love to implement.
Would the Minister of State for Finance please tell Canadians what our government thinks of the call for new tax hikes in this upcoming budget?
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is very proud of our track record on reducing taxes for Canadians and for entrepreneurs and helping those who create jobs. Unfortunately, some left-leaning think tanks that just simply echo the NDP's call for higher taxes are actually asking that higher taxes be put in the budget.
Let me be clear. That will not happen. We know higher taxes kill Canadian jobs. We do not want that to happen.
2015 Pan Am Games
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are demanding transparency about the government's $500 million contribution to the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games. There are reports that they have already gone over budget. Municipalities across the GTA are on the hook for 44% of capital costs, but they have no clue what is going on. Everything has been done in secrecy.
When will the government give municipalities, and all taxpayers, an open and transparent accounting of what is going on?
2015 Pan Am Games
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, we are certain that the 2015 games will indeed be a success for Torontonians and all Canadians. What we have put forward is a substantive commitment on behalf of taxpayers.
If he has any concerns with regard to our approach on transparency, when it comes to international sporting events, he needs to look no further than the efforts we made with regard to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, where we showed remarkable transparency, brought other governments to the table, showed to Canadian taxpayers how money was invested to ensure that the games were not only a success on the field of sport of play, but also a success for taxpayers.
We want to work with all the partners and ensure there is comfort among taxpayers with all the money that is being invested to ensure this is a winning event, not only sporting wise but also for taxpayers.
Guaranteed Income Supplement
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Laurin Liu Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, the NDP has introduced a bill that would automatically register all Canadian seniors for the guaranteed income supplement, to include those who are not receiving it but are entitled to it. An estimated 135,000 seniors are eligible for the GIS and are not receiving their cheques. Instead of saving money at the expense of our least fortunate seniors, we must help lift them out of poverty.
Will the government support our bill to automatically register seniors for the GIS or not?
Guaranteed Income Supplement
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Kellie Leitch Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, we are committed to ensuring that seniors in our country receive their benefits. We have done many things toward that goal. Whether it be in 2007, when we created automatic renewal for GIS, or whether it is the proactive sending out 600,000 applications every year to those who do not receive GIS, OAS or CPP, or whether it be increasing the greatest increase in GIS in the last 25 years, these are all things the NDP voted against.
We are standing up for seniors. I wonder why the NDP never does that.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
LaVar Payne Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, farmers, processors, transporters and others in the agricultural supply chain sometimes have issues with CFIA as their regulator. Sometimes this can be things like quarantines of a farm or inspectors not providing consistent inspection. Fortunately, I know our government is acting and launching a new CFIA service commitment.
Could the parliamentary secretary please update the House on this very new issue?
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Pierre Lemieux Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture
Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to improving service delivery for producers, consumers and other stakeholders in the food processing system.
I am happy to announce that we are launching a new complaints and appeals process. This new single window approach will provide a more transparent and accessible way for stakeholders to register complaints and appeals.
This commitment aims to improve interactions with CFIA stakeholders by offering a clear explanation of what the CFIA does, its service standards and what stakeholders can expect when dealing with the agency.
The Environment
Oral Questions
Sana Hassainia Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, two women in my riding are afraid of losing their home on the Îles-de-Boucherville in the St. Lawrence River. The Durocher family has been asking the federal government since 1997 to reinforce the embankment with rocks to prevent erosion. The situation is urgent: their ancestral home is in jeopardy and could be lost within two years.
Will the Minister of the Environment act quickly to protect all the homes located along the St. Lawrence as well as the archaeological and architectural remains of the municipalities along the St. Lawrence?
The Environment
Oral Questions
Calgary Centre-North
Michelle Rempel Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, our government takes ensuring environmental stewardship of this country very seriously. We can certainly commit to looking into the member's question further.
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
Jean-François Fortin Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC
Mr. Speaker, with less than two weeks to go before the budget, a large number of employed and unemployed workers are worried about the government's silence on the employment insurance program. They are worried about the imminent end of the three pilot projects that help people in many Quebec regions like mine, because the pilot projects are critical to ensuring the dignity of the men and women who have lost their jobs and the workers who are dependent on seasonal work.
Instead of pillaging the employment insurance fund, as they tried in the last budget, will the Conservatives show that they understand the needs of the unemployed by enhancing the employment insurance program and announcing—right now—the permanent renewal of the employment insurance pilot projects?
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
Kellie Leitch Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, I will not speculate on what will be or will not be in the budget. However, I will say that our government's top priority is job creation and economic growth, making sure that workers are well supported and that we provide all of the opportunities for young people, older people, seasonal workers and others to have gainful employment in this country.
Points of Order
Oral Questions
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order that relates to Standing Orders 16 and 18. Standing Order 16(2) states:
When a Member is speaking, no Member shall...interrupt him or her, except to raise a point of order.
Standing Order 18 states:
No member shall speak disrespectfully...nor use offensive words against...any member thereof.
The House started the 41st Parliament with a real commitment to respectful discourse, but there is no question it has slid badly. There is no one party which is solely responsible. Every party has played its part in making the atmosphere unpleasant and excessively partisan.
However, I must say that I found the treatment of the hon. member for Saint-Jean when he was posing his question today to be despicable. Imagine ourselves as teachers in a schoolyard where one child may not speak as clearly as the others and a bunch of bully boys decide to make fun of that child as he is speaking. We would look on that situation and as teachers, we would say, "Excuse me boys, you don't speak to so and so that way. Give him a chance".
I know we are partisan, but do we have to be cruel?
Points of Order
Oral Questions
Tarik Brahmi Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues who spoke. I would just like to say to them that I already know how to read, therefore I am learning to speak. Perhaps in a few years, I will know how to speak. I will be on the other side and I will speak to you.

Southern California Law Review, Vol. 85, 2012

Marking the centennial anniversary of Standard Oil Co. v. United States, we argue that much of the critique of antitrust enforcement and the skepticism about its social significance suffer from "Nirvana fallacy"— comparing existing and feasible policies to ideal normative policies, and concluding that the existing and feasible ones are inherently inefficient because of their imperfections. Antitrust law and policy have always been and will always be imperfect. However, they are alive and kicking. The antitrust discipline is vibrant, evolving, and global. This essay introduces a number of important innovations in scholarship related to Standard Oil and its modern applications and identifies shifts in antitrust that will keep the field energized for some time to come.

"This pair of glitter pumps fit perfectly. They were very stable and comfortable to walk in (although I did not walk far). I wore them to girls night out. We went to a piano bar and I'm sure I was stopped 4-5 times by people that loved the look so much that they wanted to know where to buy them. You will certainly be the center of attention wearing these."

"I was worried ordering these online without having tried them on first. The reviews said they would fit as expected, and they were right! I usually size up in running shoes, but these were perfect in my normal size. They're great casual shoes for running out the door. The color and design were as expected. I like a little more arch support, so I may use my insoles eventually. All-in-all, I'm very pleased with my purchase."

Nice suede, but too narrow
"I was looking for a pair of suede boots exactly like them, so I was so excited to order them on-line. I read some external reviews of the boots before buying them, and some said they were narrow. But I thought since the leather looked soft, they might break in.However, as said in the review, they were really narrow, and they didn't seem to budge in at all. Even though I managed to put them on without socks, I knew they would hurt my feet, so I returned.The suede leather is soft as they look, but the shaft parts are structure-less - they slouch. But the bottom parts are well structured, firm. As sort of engineer boots, they don't look too chunky at the bottom, so if you have narrow feet, they might work for you."

A Breton stripe shirt and a pair of jeans is a classic combo that will never go out of style. In fact, it's safe to say it's a definite must-have in any wardrobe. And if an Andy Warhol or The Ramones reference isn't enough to get you on board with this look, then we're certain this version of the classic by Tenue de Nimes and Armor Lux, dubbed the Dutch Breton, might just do the trick. The red, white, and blue color combo is perfect for any pair of dark jeans or denim jacket. Pair it with a cool combat boot for a modern twist or keep it retro with a cool driving shoe. Get your hand on one at Tenue De Nimes!

The University of Massachusetts-Amherst announced today [Monday] it is establishing an "Agricultural Learning Center" on the north side of its campus to give hands-on farming experience to students.
The new center will be established on a farm owned by the university just north of the main campus in Amherst. The school intends the program to be a living classroom 200 students and twenty faculty. Stephen Herbert is director of the UMass Center for Agriculture. He says the Agricultural Learning Center brings the University back to its roots as a land-grant college. He says UMass will move a horse barn and farm house built on campus in the 1890's to the new farm to be used as classroom space. Herbert says unlike the five off-campus research farms the university operates throughout Western Massachusetts, the new farm will be open to the entire community.
"I want it to be a destination on campus that people will be proud to go [to]. We want it to be open to the community, we won't have gates on it locking people out, we're going to have these access roads."
The Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation has pledged $500,000 to establish the program and move the barn and farmhouse to the property. Herbert says the University hopes to raise $5 million to make the program fully operational by 2014.
A similar program has been in existence at neighboring Hampshire College, a member of the Five College Consortium, since the late 1970's. But Herbert says the new UMass program will be in cooperation, not competition, with the other four colleges.

The Springboks were forced to overturn a half-time deficit to claim a hard-fought 30-17 win over Scotland in Nelspruit on Saturday.
The Springboks were forced to overturn a half-time deficit to claim a hard-fought 30-17 win over Scotland in Nelspruit on Saturday.
Scotland have never won on South African soil and with an under-strength side, few expected the tourists to trouble the Boks on their first visit to Mbombela Stadium. But it turned out to be a tightly-contested affair and the hosts looked in trouble when they trailed by 11 points early in the second half and only led by three with six minutes left to play.
Scotland deservedly led 10-6 at the end of a first-half characterised by the visitors' willingness to have a go and the Springboks' conservative tactics and lack of imagination.
The hosts looked all at sea when the Scots failed to capitulate to their supposed physical superiority and the insistence on kicking whenever in their own half meant that the South African backline never saw the ball with any regularity.
There could be no excuses from the Springboks – they were outplayed in the first-half and a significant step up was required after the break.
There was an improvement, especially at the set piece, but South Africa were never dominant as the Scots were happy to go toe-to-toe with the men in white.
It was only in the last quarter that South Africa finally got on top as a late try gave the scoreline a more appealing look for Bok fans.
Scotland had the better of the opening exchanges and stand-in skipper Greig Laidlaw opened the scoring in the seventh minute after Marcell Coetzee was penalised on the deck.
The hosts replied in unconvincing fashion but took the lead via two Morné Steyn penalties, both against flank Ryan Wilson.
But the first-half would belong to the Scots, who scored the only try of the opening stanza on the 20-minute mark when centre Matt Scott ghosted over after wing Tommy Seymour had unlocked the South African defence.
Laidlaw added the extras to put the visitors four points ahead, a lead which they held until the interval as the Springboks' lack of composure ensured a handful of opportunities went unconverted.
And the pattern continued after the break as Scotland struck within three minutes of the restart as wing Alex Dunbar touched down in the corner.
Laidlaw's conversion took the score to 17-6 and the Boks looked shell-shocked.
Steyn missed a penalty but the Bok pack wouldn't be denied as French referee Romain Poite raised his arm for a penalty try after Scotland collapsed a maul just short of their line.
That seemed to sparked new life into the home team, who were handed a golden opportunity to turn the tables when Scotland lock Jim Hamilton was harshly shown a yellow card on the recommendation of South African TMO Gerrie Coetzee for an open-handed push on Eben Etzebeth.
The Boks made their extra man count and centre JJ Engelbrecht's try from a Willie le Roux pass put them back in front. Steyn slotted the conversion from out wide to leave SA 20-17 ahead just before the hour mark.
South Africa had the lion's share of possession and territory in the final quarter and replacement fly-half Pat Lambie would extend the gap after Alasdair Strokosch was penalised at a ruck with six minutes left on the clock.
Replacement centre Jan Serfontein sealed the win in the final minute as he muscled his way over after an attacking line-out.
South Africa will face Samoa at Loftus Versfeld next week while Scotland will play Italy.
Man of the match: The official award went to Siya Kolisi, who was South Africa's top ball carrier but we'll go for Alasdair Strokosch, who made a whopping 20 tackles for Scotland and made life miserable for the Bok loose forwards at the breakdown.
Moment of the match: The game really turned on Jim Hamilton's yellow card as the Boks took the lead shortly afterwards, marking a clear shift in momentum.
For Scotland:
Tries: Scott, Dunbar
Cons: Laidlaw 2
Pens: Laidlaw
Yellow card: Hamilton
For South Africa:

Cons: Steyn 2, Lambie
Pens: Steyn 2, Lambie

OTTAWA (CIS) – Swimmers Savannah King and Coleman Allen, both from the University of British Columbia, are the CIS female and male athletes of the week for the period ending Jan. 27, 2013.
King, a third-year kinesiology student from Vernon, B.C., was named female swimmer of the meet at the Canada West championships in Victoria after she claimed five gold medals in as many races, set or was part of four meet records, and led the UBC women to their fourth consecutive conference banner. The two-time Olympian was victorious in the 200-metre backstroke, in three freestyle events (200-400-800) as well as in the 4x200 free relay, only missing out on a new championship mark in the 200 back. The former CIS female rookie of the year (2011) and swimmer of the year (2012) hopes to help the Thunderbirds defend their team title at the CIS championships, which are set for Feb. 21-23 in Calgary.
Dalhousie volleyball player Louise Facca, Laval pole vaulter Mélanie Blouin and Waterloo hockey player Rebecca Bouwhuis were also nominated for the women's award.
Allen, a second-year arts student from Spokane, Wash., earned male-MVP honours in his Canada West championship debut after he racked up seven podium finishes in as many events, including five gold medals, had three record-setting performances and helped the T-Birds to second place in the men's team standings. The University of Nevada transfer came out on top in three butterfly races (50-100-200), in the 200 freestyle and in the 4x100 free relay, including new meet standards in the 100 and 200 fly and in the 4x100 free. Allen, who also claimed silver in the 4x200 free and bronze in the 4x100 medley, will be one of many UBC swimmers to watch next month in Calgary when the T-Bird men go for a second straight national title.
Cape Breton basketball player Jimmy Dorsey, UQTR hockey player Tommy Tremblay and Guelph hockey player Nick Huard were the other male nominees.

"The overall product appearance is an average of three stars. I love the quality and texture, the outside of the tote fabric is soft and plush. What didn't do it any justice was the gold hardware. It was just too gold of color which makes it look a little fake, more for a teenager. By-the-way, I bought 2 of them. My girl loved it. But for a lady on the go, You don't want hardware that sticks out like a sore thumb. This is a great bag, roomy, soft, but, the magnet closure does not give me the confidence of staying shut when you have a full bag, I stuffed it, with my usuals and as expected it popped open. I would only use it on my lighter days, which are few and far between. This is for the black/gold, perhaps for use on a night out with friends, otherwise, this tote will go to my girls very soon."

US Airways is blaming a dip in revenue on federal budget cuts, Reuters reports. The carrier says it thinks the cuts have reduced demand for last-minute tickets, which typically go for the highest fares.
ALSO ONLINE: Delta sues ex-Im Bank over loan guarantees for foreign airlines
US Airways said its March unit revenue – described by Reuters as "a measure of pricing power and how full planes are" – did not grow as compared to the same month in 2012. US Airways says that was lower than it expected, citing "reduced close-in demand believed to be driven largely by the sequester."
Reuters writes Delta "also said March unit revenue fell short of its expectations, citing lower-than-expected bookings due to automatic budget cuts mandated by sequestration and reduced demand as a result of attempts to raise prices."

WebMD News from HealthDay
By Randy Dotinga
HealthDay Reporter
Now, updated expert guidelines stress that the condition is best managed by antibiotics or antibacterials given as eardrops rather than by antibiotics in pill form.
The panel at the American Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery Foundation recommends that patients be treated with antibiotic eardrops, but only if necessary.
Swimmer's ear "may cause intense pain. Eardrops offer prompt relief, but about one-third of cases are treated with oral [pill] antibiotics, which are ineffective and promote resistant bacteria," Dr. Richard Rosenfeld, who helped draft the new advisory, said in a statement provided by the academy.
"The updated guideline expands upon prior guidance with new clinical trials, new systematic reviews and consumer participation, intended to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of this common disorder," Rosenfeld said.
Swimmer's ear, formally known as "acute otitis externa," is an infection of the outer ear that generally occurs when water becomes trapped in the ear canal and bacteria multiply, the experts explain. The condition is very common and affects about one in every 123 Americans each year. Besides swimming, people can contract swimmer's ear through trauma to the ear, stress, sweat and allergies.
Symptoms can include swelling, itching, hearing loss and pain, especially when tugging on the earlobe or chewing on food.
The organization issued the new guidelines Feb. 3 in the journal Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery.
Treatments include painkillers and a variety of types of eardrops, including some that deliver antibiotics to the ear. The problem with pills, according to the foundation, is that they're simply ineffective. The major types of bacteria that cause swimmer's ear aren't vulnerable to oral antibiotics, they noted, and not enough antibiotic firepower makes its way to the ear canal.
The guidelines do, however, note that oral antibiotics may be appropriate in some cases, such as when an infection travels outside the ear canal. Prompt assessment of the patient's pain, and recommendations for painkillers are also advised.
Two experts welcomed the new guidelines.
Dr. Eric Smouha, director of otology and neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, agreed that "oral or systemic antibiotics are rarely needed to treat this condition."
Another key recommendation, according to Smouha, is that cheaper antibacterial agents such as 2 percent acetic acid, and more expensive antimicrobial drops such as
Ciprodex, seem to work equally well against
swimmer's ear.
"For most clinicians, these guidelines will reinforce and confirm existing clinical practices, and for a few, they will lead to alterations in ingrained habits that result in better outcomes," Smouha said.
Dr. David Hiltzik is director of otolaryngology and head & neck surgery at Staten Island University Hospital, also in New York City. He agreed with Smouha that the new guidelines "will have a large impact in the treatment of this very common disease. They provide a clear and concise diagnostic and treatment pathway for many physicians."

Students Raise Money For Hurricane Sandy Victims
Students at Gilbert Elementary School in Yakima raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims-- one penny at a time.
5th graders Aaliyah Cordova and Molly Benight raised over a hundred dollars in their "Cents for Sandy" campaign a few weeks ago.
That money will go to the Red Cross, which says it's enough to provide 50 meals to those in need.
Two of the students plan on having another fundraiser in the future.

Piranha 3D is an original story born in the fertile imaginations of French Producer Greg Levasseur and Director Alex Aja, who co-authored the script. It was their first collaboration with American Cinematographer John Leonetti, ASC, and their first experience on a 3D production.
Most contemporary 3D films are produced with two digital cameras side by side on a rig. However, after consulting with Lenny Lipton, a 3D technology guru, and seeing scenes from Titanic, Singing in the Rain and King Kong converted to 3D during postproduction, Levasseur, Aja and Leonetti decided to follow a counter-culture path. The filmmakers produced Piranha 3D in 35mm anamorphic format in 2.4:1 aspect ratio. The edited film was then converted to 3D format during postproduction for both practical and aesthetic reasons. "Alex really wanted to produce the story that he and Greg dreamed up in anamorphic format," says Leonetti. "I agreed with him that it has a special feeling."
Leonetti explains that anamorphic lenses enabled them to film scenes on the lake while keeping mountains in the background in focus. This required the latitude film offers for recording depth of field with details in the darkest and brightest areas. The DP points out that covering scenes with two digital cameras on a rig would have limited their maneuverability, which was an important part of the film's visual grammar.
Production was scheduled for the summer of 2009 when daytime temperatures were expected to soar as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Leonetti explains that the heat would have caused problems if they were shooting with digital cameras. "Reading the script reminded me that the scariest moments in Jaws occurred at sea level," he says. "We planned to shoot many scenes on the surface of the lake."
Leonetti and Aja decided to bring Pete Zuccarini, an experienced underwater cinematographer, onboard. Zuccarini has earned more than 30 credits shooting underwater scenes for films that include the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and Terminator Salvation. "Pete shot scenes on and in the lake and also in an underwater tank we built that held two million gallons of water," Leonetti says. "We decided to shoot underwater scenes in Super 35 film format, using Cooke S4 lenses, which gave us both more depth of field and tighter focuses on close-ups. The use of two different widescreen film formats is transparent to the audience." FotoKem in Los Angeles processed the tests filmed during preproduction.
Piranha 3D's opening sequence starts with a lone fisherman on a boat in the middle of a lake, and Actor Richard Dreyfuss was cast for that cameo role. The setting is serene and picturesque with gently rippling water, mountains and forests in the background, and a deep-blue sky dotted with drifting white clouds. The fisherman also sings the title theme from Jaws, which gives audiences a subliminal clue that something ominous is about to happen. The fisherman then pulls a string of beer bottles from the lake, opens one for a sip then puts it down just as a fish takes the bait. As the fisherman pulls the fish out of the water, his open beer falls into the lake. The camera follows the bottle as it sinks, and there's a subtle visual and audio tremor when it hits the bottom. A fissure then opens under the lake and water pours into the hole. There's a quick cutaway to a shot looking down on the boat, which begins rocking on the swirling water. As the fisherman desperately tries to keep his balance, he falls into the lake and sinks out of sight. Another quick dissolve leads to the camera looking down on a calm lake and empty boat. Suddenly, a hand of bare bones pops out of the water, and the Piranha 3D title flashes on-screen.

By K.L. MCIFFUtah State Representative
Education issues continue at the forefront of legislative debate. I mention two, along with some other developments.
The voucher bill passed by one vote. The debate will likely shift to the courts where it will face a stiff challenge under Utah's somewhat unique Constitution. Aside from the legal issue, the question remains whether competition from private schools will stimulate the "tide that raises all boats" or whether it will "high-grade" the talent pool leaving public education to pick up the pieces.
Higher Education Outreach
I strongly support an initiative that would fund delivery of some four-year degrees at selected sites including the College of Eastern Utah in Price and Snow College in Ephraim and Richfield. As students come out of high school with an ever increasing number of college credits, the role of our two-year junior colleges is narrowed unless we can increase upper-division offerings. This effort is dependent upon funding an upgrade of the Utah Education Network satellite system that will allow two-way video and audio between USU and all the teaching sites. Former CEU President Mike Peterson, a native of Ferron, heads the Network. USUs design is to utilize professors at any one of the institutions for broadcast to all the other sites. It is a good use of resources.
Other Developments
Twelve-year olds will now be able to hunt big game. Even avid hunters and sportsmen were split on this issue.
We are working on a better approach to fund state prisoners in county jails so that counties do not have to pick up the slack when the prison days exceed the money allocated.
There are two bills addressing important moral issues which would likely not survive constitutional challenges. One deals with excessive violence in video games, the other with abortion. Each issue challenges us to find a way of expressing abhorrence to things which downgrade and debase us without spending scarce resources with little or no hope of a legal victory. I promise to watch closely and decide carefully. Thanks for your emails. You can reach me at email@example.com.

In May 2012, UNC Charlotte reached a milestone with the graduation of our 100,000th alumnus. As the University grows and changes, so do the ways in which we communicate with students, faculty, staff and alumni. Social media, including popular sites such as Facebook and Twitter, provide new and exciting ways to connect the campus community and share the UNC Charlotte story in real-time. In fact, UNC Charlotte's Facebook page just celebrated another milestone — the number of University "fans" has surpassed 25,000.
The Division of University Advancement has led the charge to incorporate social media into UNC Charlotte's daily communications efforts; chief among these is the University's official Facebook page. It is now the largest higher education Facebook page in the region. In fact, the page gets a new fan "like" almost every hour. While there are lots of college students and soon-to-be college students on the page, almost 25 percent of the people connected via Facebook are over age 25, including 49er alumni, parents, and friends of the University.
With an average of two to four posts per day, the University's Facebook page has become a place for continuous dialogue, information exchange and positive interaction. As the University welcomes larger freshmen classes each year, the page will play an important role in communicating with new students and their parents. Life on campus, sports, class registration, admissions and library hours are some of the more popular topics discussed on the site.
University Communications staff works to keep the information flowing and balanced from sources across the entire campus. It's also a high priority to keep the conversation civil and accurate, providing answers to posted questions when appropriate and enforcing the University's social media usage guidelines.
Richard McDevitt, Director of Marketing, says the site is constantly evolving to include more engagement and interaction with students, faculty, staff and parents. The page features videos, photos, giveaways and other exciting ways to Stake Your Claim to North Carolina's urban research University.

How to maintain your privacy online
After the National Security Agency scandal, people have understandably been concerned with how much the government knows about them and how much information they can still access. Here are some tips and services recommended by Compyler.com to ease those concerns and keep your online information private. Next
Mailvelope will encrypt messages sent via a webmail client like Gmail or Outlook. To decode the message, the recipient must have two "keys" that turn the gibberish back into legible words.
Shown: An example of an email encrypted with Mailvelope. Next
Mailinator is the email equivalent of disposable cell phones. It doesn't create an inbox for your temporary address until it starts actually receiving email, so you can make one up in a pinch and then go check it within a day if necessary—after that, the emails get deleted. It's also a handy way to sign up for newsletters or web services without potentially compromising your identity. Next
Cryptocat, an instant messenger service, will scramble all of your messages so that the server only receives the encrypted version—you and the person you're chatting with can still type and read in your preferred language. It's available in nine languages for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Next
Web browsing
You can browse the web without adding any new software or going through other websites, because most browsers have a private or secure browsing feature. This mode won't store cookies, passwords, and other local info from the sites you visit. Similarly, most browsers let you turn off your search history.
Another browsing option is to use a Virtual Private Network, or VPN. This keeps your Internet connection and online activities private.
BitTorrent Sync
One of the most secure ways to share files is through a flash drive-- person-to-person transfer of an actual device drastically reduces the chance of your private files reaching the wrong destination. If an in-person transfer isn't feasible, BitTorrent Sync encrypts files and makes sure that they're never stored on a central server. Its peer-to-peer format means that no one besides the intended recipient can unlock the files, and even then you can give them full, partial, or one-time access. Next
Burner phones
Payphones are always a guaranteed way to prevent someone from getting your number, but in today's fast-moving world it's easier to just use a cell. For $1.99, you can get three credits on the Burner app, which lets you create a temporary number to call and receive from. It's great for quick fixes, but not entirely secure. A disposable phone, like the $75 Burner Phone, is a less-traceable option. Next
It's harder to follow the money nowadays if you use cash and prepaid credit cards—unlike real credit cards, they won't leave a paper trail. Transactions made with Bitcoin, a type of digital currency said to be untraceable, could still be sold to or traced by third parties. Back to the beginning
