HIGHLANDS RANCH - ThunderRidge got off to an incredible start but coach Joe Johnson knows some things have to change.
The Grizzlies, the state's top-ranked team, scored on their first two offensive plays en route to a 63-34 victory over Westminster in a first round Class 5A state playoff game last Friday night at Shea Stadium.
ThunderRidge (9-1) moves on to play Cherry Creek (6-4) in a second round game Friday night at the Stutler Bowl and Johnson realizes that 34 points was too many to give up against No. 32 seed Westminster, which ended its season with a 5-5 record.
"We won't survive another week playing defensively like we did against Westminster," said Johnson. "We have to play better. I know we can. I don't know why we didn't. I don't understand.
"Hey, we won and half the teams that started the playoffs are out."
Quarterback Brody Westmoreland made sure ThunderRidge got off to a quick start and put the underdog Wolves in a hole early.
On the first offensive play of the game, Westmoreland kept the ball on an option and broke free, made a midfield cutback and sprinted 65 yards for a touchdown.
Then on the Grizzlies next offensive play after forcing a Westminster punt, Westmoreland hit Jake Hand with a short pass over the middle and Hand went 70 yards for a touchdown.
That's 135 yards of total offense on two plays.
"With our offense, we go fast, we have our tempo and we know our assignments," said Westmoreland. "If you can get the lead real quick and get up on a team and usually get them in your grip, it's hard not to win that game."
Westmoreland accounted for four touchdowns. He was 8 of 14 passing for 188 yards and two TDs and he also ran for two scores while piling up 78 yards rushing.
Steve Ray finished with 136 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns for the Grizzlies.
"Watching film, we knew what we had to do," said Westmoreland. "We knew we could hit some passes and we wanted to get off to a quick start so I just had to make my reads and knew my receivers were going to make the catch and my offensive line was going to give me tons on time."
Westminster, however, recovered after falling behind 21-0 in the first quarter and played head-to-head with ThunderRidge for the remainder of the contest.
"It's awful to give up two touchdowns on two plays", said Westminster coach Kerry Dension, who felt the No. 32 seed his team received was a slap in the face. "When that happened, they woke up. I thought we could move the ball. I told the kids just fight and we'll do what we can. They (the Grizzlies) have an unbelievable offense"
Westminster, led by quarterback Jordan Thompson and running back Ryan Belearde, actually outgained ThunderRidge 472-448 and that concerns Johnson whose team also had two extra-point kicks blocked.
"We have a lot of confidence on offense, we are just not very consistent defensively and that's how it's been all year. I hope we'll be more consistent this week. We need to do what we are capable of doing on the other side of the ball."
Westminster's Thompson connected on 8 of 20 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns.
Belearde ran for 140 yards that including a 74-yard TD gallop. Patrick Wilson added 106 yards rushing and Humberto Loera caught both of Thompson's scoring strikes.
Westminster had 52 underclassmen listed on its playoff roster.
"With those kids coming back, we should be good," said Dension. "Back to back years we've had running clocks on us. We can compete. I just have to give my hat off to every one of the kids."

Thank you for being a friend, Rich.
Do you know if the VA has received additional funding? I applied for an IT Specialist at the VA in Loma Linda, CA and they are on hold due to the lack of budget.
Thank you for asking about the job search. I have applied to 14 Government positions in IT and Purchasing. I bested my ITresume score of 90 with a contracts administrator of 93 before disability rating! I have completed the background check for the Border Patrol and am waiting on approval for the additional medical information I provided. Hopefully I will have a job in 30 days!
Hello sir,

Have you ever wondered why a member of your team hasn't done something you wanted, or perhaps they have, but you get the feeling that it's been done with the least effort required to get the job done? I'm sure we've all been there. What I want to talk to you about today is how you can create an environment where people want to work for you and want take pride in their work. Its the ONLY way you can grow your business.
Over at Optix Solutions everyone we employ is awesome at their jobs. These are people who have studied the internet industry for many years (in some cases since it pretty much began). We have a group of guys and girls that are proud and passionate about what they do and how they can help their clients. These are people who don't want to be told what to do, day in day out, with no input of their own. These are people who have a voice and a damn good one too. These are people who want to 'own' their work. And there lies the clue…
There is a huge difference between giving someone a task or project and asking them to tell you when it's done and giving someone ownership or responsibility for that task or project. I've found this out the hard way over many years. Here's the difference:
Straight forward delegation of task:
I'll ask one of my team to complete a task/project and tell them I need it finished by X date. They'll take it on, complete it and deliver it back again by that date. This is fine and gets the job done but it's not half as good as….
Giving ownership:
I will delegate in exactly the same way but I might use slightly different wording along the lines of, 'I'd really like you to own this project, you've got the authority to make decisions on how it's done (within boundaries of course) and the responsibility of delivering on X date lies with you'
You see the difference? The impact of this is huge. Why? Because everyone wants to feel wanted, like they have a purpose and ownership of something, like they come to work for a reason. They will take pride in what they do, they will 'own' it. What you'll get back from your team if you start with this approach will exceed your expectations and people will fly.
I was putting together a blog post for the Optix blog recently about the team we have there and I asked everyone what they liked about working for the company. Here are a few choice comments I had back:
Nick – "Flexibility/freedom to use my initiative and be creative"
Kris – "we are all genuinely challenged to be the best we can be, and our Directors actively encourage us to be a part of the company"
Kris – "You're not just allowed to have your say, you're listened to. If something doesn't work or could be done better for a client, you have the power to change it. When we do well we are rewarded and when we make mistakes we're encouraged to learn from them"
Charlie – "You are encouraged to learn and grow outside of your specific role – this creates real job satisfaction"
Dan – "My input is taken on board and I am my own man"
Dan – "When working in other organisations it has been all too easy to blend into the background and not be a leader. Here at Optix I am encouraged to take control of my own destiny and make things happen. With that comes responsibility, but without great responsibility you cannot have great power! Even Spiderman knows that"
Rich – "We throw a wicked xmas party!"
Ok, so maybe the last one has little to do with ownership but hey its true!
We understand at Optix that the company can only be successful if we have a team of people who are proud of who they work for, love coming to work and have ownership of the work they do.
How can you foster this environment with your team?
Now Your Thoughts
- Do you give ownership to your staff? What has this brought you?
- Do you have any further thoughts on how to get more from your team beyond this?

My view
Bob Moritz
The dramatic impact of the recession on global business is clear, and for many, it was worse than expected. In response, most companies cut costs, reduced headcount, trimmed back plans for expansion, and began to rethink their approach to risk.
In my last column, I expressed cautious optimism about our economy and its prospects for recovery. I also drew out a few implications of doing business in a post-crisis world. Now that the recovery is at least on the horizon, I'd like to continue that discussion—this time with the benefit of data from our 13th Annual Global CEO Survey.
What will the post-crisis environment look like? We can't be entirely sure, but based on our research, we can make some pretty good educated guesses.
In the post-crisis environment, consumers are likely to be much smarter about how they spend their money, and they will be more active in terms of influencing the products and services they'll buy.
Additionally, access to capital will continue to be a challenge, the gap between rich and poor likely will increase, the G20 likely will become a more dominant political force, regulation is and will continue to be a top-of-mind issue, and governments will become more protectionist.
In such an environment, what are companies doing to position themselves for post-recession success?
For most executives, cost cutting remains a priority. A majority indicate that they will implement a cost-cutting initiative in the next 12 months. CEOs are also focused on making major changes to the way they manage risk and to how they allocate investments.
At first, this might appear to be an extension of the "hunkering down" mentality present at many companies during the downturn. But other data contradict that assumption. For example, compared to last year's survey, significantly more CEOs in the current study expressed confidence about achieving revenue growth in the next 12 months.
But is this optimism being translated into positive steps to position companies for success? I think so. Despite a challenging environment, businesses are focusing on existing markets for growth and investing in leadership and talent development. Our survey also shows that, over the next 12 months, organizations that will be adding to their workforces outnumber those that will be cutting.
This is not to say that CEOs do not have serious concerns. They do. Topping the list of potential threats is the possibility of a protracted global recession, which is followed closely by over-regulation. In addition, worries about protectionist tendencies are up from last year's survey.
Even such concerns, though, can be viewed in a positive light, as they motivate companies to take stock of their strengths and weaknesses and build new capabilities. In short, by anticipating change, and proactively addressing it, companies are poised to cope effectively with today's challenges, while positioning themselves to seize tomorrow's opportunities.
Such companies are ready for the recovery. Are you?
If you're ignoring such areas as R&D and new product innovation, leadership and talent development, strategic technology infrastructure or applications, and capital investments, you're probably not.
But if you're paying attention to the basics—prudent investment, focus on people, concern for the environment, attention to customers, awareness of risk, heed to reputation and brand—you most likely are.
This is what successful companies do all the time, regardless of economic circumstances. These are qualities that transcend temporary economic cycles and see the best organizations through challenging times to long-term prosperity. Already positioned for success, when the recovery comes, they'll be first to benefit.
That's my view. What's yours? We'd like to know. Send us your comments at pwc.com/view.

The Reebok 11K hockey elbow pads are the top of the line elbow pad from Reebok this year. More players in the NHL wear Reebok designed elbow pads over any other. With the introduction of the 11k, I don't think that statistic will change anytime soon. For 2011 Reebok has added the ZigTech technology to the liner. Zig fibers increase circulation, increase blood oxygen levels, and promote muscle recovery. The 11k provides pro level protection with the JDP Bumper cap, and pro level comfort with the Locksleeve.
The 11K use a 2-piece design system. One piece for the forearm/elbow and the other piece to protect the bicep. This pad features a plastic base with foams on both sides for maximum protection and comfort. Reebok is calling the elbow cap the JDP® with bumper. The bumper is an EVA foam on the outside to offer additional protection to you and other players on the rink. This pad features plastic reinforcements in the forearm guard and bicep guard to offer pro level of protection.
The 11K features a 3-piece strap system. At the top there is a bicep strap that is about 1.5" securing the bicep guard to the arm. The core strap is the Arm Sleeve. This strap is a "V" shape that wraps the arm under the forearm guard locking the pad in place. The Arm Sleeve has a soft felt like exterior offering superior comfort. The last strap Reebok calls the lock strap that wraps over the forearm guard ensuring no pad movement during play.
Reebok has used The ZigTech series liner in the 11k elbow pad. This liner features key Celliant fibers which have been clinically proven to enhance oxygen levels. This translates to better circulation and more energy so you can take your game to the next level.
- Model Year: 2012
- Model Number: EP11K
- Heritage: Reebok 10K
- Level of Play: Ideal for advanced to pro level of play
- Reebok sizing guidelines:
Pad size / Player height
Small / 5'4"-5'7"
Medium / 5'7"-5'10"
Large / 5'10"-6'2"
Extra Large / 6'0" +
- Protection:
- JDP® elbow cap with bumper
- Disperses the force of impact away from the elbow joint
- The Bumper was designed to comply with the NHL rule of no hard shell elbow pads. This design offers additional protection to the players and others that may be on the receiving end of a hit.
- Plastic reinforced forearm slash guard
- Plastic reinforced bicep guard with HD foam
- Extended "Flexguard" provides extended joint protection
- JDP® elbow cap with bumper
- Liner:
- Zig-Tech liner
- Proven to increase oxygen levels by an average of 7%
- Helps improve blood circulation and oxygen levels to promote enhanced muscle recovery
- Fit:
- 3 piece strap system
- Arm sleeve strap - Soft neoprene "V" shape strap that fits under the forearm guard
- Lock strap - 1.5" nylon strap that wraps over the forearm guard locking the pad down
- Bicep strap - Elastic strap that comfortably secures the bicep guard
- Molded comfort base that provides comfort and stability to the elbow
- Kinetic fit system (KFS)
- Segmented protection that moves "intelligently" with the player
Comments: Hands down the most comfortable elbow pads I've ever worn! They offer great protection, and are really light weight. I tried elbow pads from CCM & Easton before finding these, and the difference is night and day. Cannot recommend these enough!!
From: Chris, Bayport, NY
Comments: Reebok is the #1 elbow pad and shin guard supplier to NHL players for a reason. Coming from a JOFA elbow pads with the velcro failing, these pads are a 100% improvement. I take alot of slapshots at stick&puck and the lockstrap on these bad boys hold the pads in place like super glue. They sit really deep in the elbow and offer great protection midway down your forearm as well as midway up your bicep. Perfect Pads!
From: John, WA
Comments: I can see why they are a pro favorite. When I first put them on, they were a little tight (a problem I have with my forearms), but after playing in them today, they've really loosened up, and feel great. No frills strapping system. I will say, with most of these new fabrics and materials used, one should wear a hockey shirt with "nipple grip" elbows, to keep them in place. Typical core undershirts are a little "slippery" around the elbow areas. 5 out of 5 stars.
From: Dave, Phoenix, Az USA
Comments: The first time I wore the Reebok 11K elbow pads, I could immediately tell why they're a favorite of the pros. It's amazing how a pad that provides such a high level of protection is also so comfortable. Let's start with the strapping system. Three straps absolutely lock the pad in place. I've worn these for four or five games now and they do not move! It is so awesome to put the pads on and forget about them. If you do fall or make contact with another player, the impact just disperses and deflects. You'll barely feel anything. Also, I love how 'deep' your elbow locks in to the center of the pad. Feels so secure and protected. At first, the pads almost feel too tight. Just a matter of getting used to it. Once you do, you'll never go back. The mobility is amazing too. I never feel like I'm constricted from moving at all. If anything, the feeling of security increases my confidence and increases mobility. Finally, I have to comment on the 'zigtech liner'. When I read that it increases blood flow and oxygen levels, I just rolled my eyes and thought, 'That's just marketing hype.'

Your Cheatin' Heart
SG1: Have you taken the test yet?
SG2: No, I'm taking it tomorrow. Was it hard?
SG1: Not too bad. The difference of squares was on it, though.
SG2: I don't know that too well. Better study it tonight!
SG1: I've got a cheat sheet for that. Do you want it?
Intrepid Adviser (stands up suddenly, strides purposefully across the room, stops where the two girls are sitting): You did not just say that!
SG1: Huh?
Intrepid Adviser (holding out her hand): Give it to me.
SG1: Huh?
Intrepid Adviser (arm still outstretched): The cheat sheet. Give it to me now, please. (SG1 hands over miniscule, ragged corner of notebook paper, with a formula written neatly in teeny-tiny printing.)
SG1: (Adopts look of horror.) Are you going to tell my teacher?
Intrepid Adviser: What do you think?
We haven't e-mailed the Algebra teacher yet. We're still debating with ourselves. The fact is that cheating is rampant not only in OHHS, but throughout the country. And the old-fashioned "cheat sheet" is being eclipsed by more high-tech methods. Kidz taking pictures of tests with their cellphones, and sharing with their friends. Cherubs program forbidden formulas into their calculators and phones, and glance at them during tests. At OHHS, cheating has become so commonplace that most teachers collect electronic gadgets (cellphones, iPods, et. al.) from the kiddos as they come into the classroom prior to a test.
Students say they need good grades. Their parents will ground them, they won't get into a "competitive" college (whatever that means). Please take our poll. Should we turn Sophomore Girl 1 in to the Authorities?

It's a tough call here. I would probably tend to err on the side of caution, but be very careful with those two girls again in the future.

We're leaning toward lenience in this case. Sophomore Girl 1 is so chagrined that we thwarted her cheating scheme that clemency seems the way to go.
- May 2, 2008 at 7:52 AM
- Tara R. said...
Did SG1 use the cheat sheet, or did she just have it? The pressure to perform well in HS is tremendous, and often the homework load is unreal. Sometimes cheating seems like the only way to get it all done. If this was the first incident, maybe a warning is all that is needed. This is a tough call.
- May 2, 2008 at 8:44 AM
- mybellringers said...
If she used it, I'd turn her in. Actually, I'd make her turn herself in to the teacher.
If she didn't use it yet, I'd devise some sort of punishment that would be enlightening so the lesson would be learned. You certainly don't want the lesson to be "next time don't get caught."
Because it begs the question… if they cheat on a test, then do they make up a quote? It's a slippery slope and the slide down isn't a good or fun one. There's more at stake then just that one math test.

Why not turn the cheat-sheet episode into an assignment for the OHHS newspaper on what's up with cheating ? Get each staffer to interview 5 students and teachers each about the latest in high-tech student skulduggery and why, why, why this age-old practice persists. Might seem like obvious stuff, but getting students and teachers to vent surely will get people thinking anew about the bizarre cat-and-mouse cheating game. Me thinks pressures to excel have only increased since I graduated h.s. in 1976, prior to calculators and cell phones in the classroom. (I recall one dude scribbling test tips on the inside of his belt.) If students don't feel like they can score good grades legitimately on a h.s. test, how will that translate later in life in their decision making ? The win-and-any-cost mentality has become ingrained in politics and business. Of course, the most prominent examples now are the Iraq War, which was built on lying, and the mortgage foreclosure crisis, built on banks lying to consumers that sub-prime loans would be prob-free.

Tara: SG1 did use the cheat sheet. Was going to speak with her further today, but she wasn't in class. Hear thru the grapevine, though, that we made her nervous. Since she's only 15, maybe that's enough?
- May 2, 2008 at 5:00 PM
- Melissa B. said...
My Bellringers: You're right, too. If they'll cheat on a math test, can we believe the quotes for their newspaper/yearbook stories are real? We had an "incident" at OHHS last year during which a first-year newspaper boy made up an ENTIRE story, a la Janet Cooke, Stephen Glass, and Jason Blair. Of course, we dismissed him from the staff. We'll have to keep an EAGLE EYE on SG1!
- May 2, 2008 at 5:03 PM
- Melissa B. said...
Josf: We like your idea A LOT! We'll get crackin' on assigning that story to SG1 ASAP! We're about your age, and remember all kinds of skullduggery vis-a-vis cheating, but the grade-grubbing was not anywhere near as rampant as it is now. When we started at OHHS in 1994, the big cheating scandal was the boyz who scribbled answers inside the brim of their ball caps. So, of course, OHHS banned hats in school. As technology has morphed, we've banned all personal electronic gizmos, too, but you'd never know it from the rampant use/abuse of them in hallways and classrooms!

EY7450LS2S Cordless 1/2" Drill & Driver Kit
- High Battery Capacity 4.2Ah Compact, lightweight.
- 4.2Ah High Capacity Battery
- 1/2" Heavy Duty Keyless Chuck
- Tough IP Rated - Water and Dust Resistance
Back Order
EY7450LS2S/EY7450X Tough IP™ Li-ion 18-volt 4.2Ah Cordless 1/2" Drill and Driver Kit
Features a compact, light body built for heavy-duty drilling/driving jobs
Construction and maintenance professionals often switch between driving and drilling tasks throughout the day. The NEW Panasonic 18-volt 4.2Ah EY7450LS2S (EY7450X tool only) ½" drill and driver kit is built to take on both jobs with the versatility and power that general construction, plumbing, finish carpentry and electrical installation workers need to do the job efficiently and professionally. The compact tool - only 8-9/16" long x 9-3/4" tall x 2-1/2" wide -- can produce 505 in. lbs. of torque so it can take on tough tasks such as drilling up to 1-7/16"-diameter holes in wood or ½"-diameter holes in metal. In driving mode, the tool can drive 5/16"-diameter wood and ¼"-diameter self-tapping screws easily and repetitively.
The tool's beefy four-brush motor puts out power and takes on difficult tasks with much less chance of burning the motor out on jobs users sometimes expect the tool to do.
The variable speed, reversible tool has a two-speed transmission that efficiently converts the motor's power into drilling/driving power. Users will find the 50-430 rpm low speed helpful in deep wood-drilling and -driving jobs, while the 160-1,650 rpm high speed works best in most metal drilling jobs. An electric brake stops chuck spin instantly when the trigger is released. A built-in LED light makes work in dark areas easier and a belt hook keeps the tool close at hand when it's not in use.
The 18-stage clutch lets the user adjust driving force to the job. It adjusts from approximately 8.8 to 61.0 in. lbs. (in 3 in. lbs. increments), so driving force can be matched to driving needs without overdriving or stripping fasteners.
At just 4.7 lbs. including battery, the tool's light weight and ergonomic design helps keep the user's wrist in the neutral position. The light weight and tool design work together to cause less fatigue and improve tool control.
Tough tools for tough conditions
Like many Panasonic tools, the EY7450 drill and driver is Tough IP rated. That means they passed demanding laboratory tests of working in extremely dusty work environments and withstood the effects of water getting sprayed on the tool by powerful jets. In the field, it assures professional tradesmen have a tool that can stand up to the rigors of hard jobsite use.
The IP rating is established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is outlined in IEC 60529. The standard outlines a coding system that indicates the degree of protection an electrical machine's enclosure offers internal components. Based on objective testing, it assigns a rating to the enclosure's ability to keep potentially damaging solid foreign objects (dust and contaminants) and water out of the tool under increasingly difficult conditions. The dust protection test subjects the tool to a very dusty environment and then puts it to work to assure the tool was unaffected by dust exposure. In the grueling test, the tool proved that it achieved a dust protection level of five out of six levels; the sixth level is for dust-tight tools. It's a good indication that the tool's design keeps potentially harmful contaminants out, assuring long life and top performance that construction and maintenance professionals demand. Similarly, the water protection test put the tool up against increasing levels of water exposure. It attained a six out of eight levels rating, withstanding the effects of powerful water jets.
Whether it's extremely dust work conditions or work in damp or wet locations, users will appreciate a tool that will keep working when others would likely fail. Consult the safety and operating instructions for more information.

Tough and long-lasting battery packs
This tool can be powered by Panasonic's exclusive 18-volt 4.2Ah LS Li-ion battery pack, is built for heavy use, long runtimes between charges and long cycle life. Unlike manganese-based Li-ion batteries used in many cordless power tools, Panasonic's exclusive Li-ion battery technology produces less internal heat buildup that can kill battery packs. The battery packs also feature Panasonic's Solid Solution technology, a proprietary process for dissolving and hardening cobalt and nickel and other key battery components. This unique chemistry dramatically improves battery pack safety, reliability and power output. A special heat-resistant ceramic coating layer separates cells and protects them from heat buildup. Together, the chemistry, battery design and manufacturing process add up to powerful batteries that promise to deliver long running lives.
Battery packs that are smart, too
Sometimes professional users are their own tool's worst enemy, attempting to push them past their design limits. This can lead to irreversible battery or tool damage. That's why Panasonic 4.2Ah LS battery pack cells are independently monitored for even discharge while preventing over-charging and over-discharging. An over-discharge sensor prevents the user from running the tool after it reaches the point where too-low voltage output could damage the battery or the tool. Plus, an internal temperature sensor flashes a warning light if internal temperatures rise, and then cuts off tool power if battery temperature reaches critical levels.
Water getting into the battery doesn't have to mean it's a goner. Panasonic engineers have added vents built in the battery case so water can easily drain out of the battery pack. The battery, which is easy to remove using a simple slide-down release button, can charge to 80 percent capacity in 55 minutes and fully charge in 70 minutes when charged with the EY0L82B charger, The charger comes with the kit that includes the tool, two 4.2Ah Li-ion battery packs and carrying case.
Proof of performance
The two-speed drill-driver modes make it easy for users to select speed or power for drilling tasks.

Grand Slam In Second Powers Rangers Past Devils Outdoors, 7-3
Jim Cerny
With the snow falling, the temperature hovering around 20 degrees, and playing in one of sports' most iconic venues Sunday afternoon, the Rangers spotted the New Jersey Devils a 3-1 lead before erupting for six unanswered goals of their own in a memorable 7-3 Stadium Series victory outdoors in front of 50,105 fans at Yankee Stadium.
Mats Zuccarello scored twice, while Dominic Moore, Marc Staal, Anton Stralman, Derek Stepan, and Derick Brassard also had two-point games for the Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist settled in after allowing three first-period goals to finish with 19 saves, while his Devils counterpart, Martin Brodeur, was kayoed from the game after two periods of play, surrendering six goals on 21 shots.
While Brodeur did struggle between the pipes for New Jersey, it was the Rangers exploiting their speed advantage which really was the Devils undoing. The Rangers turned New Jersey over repeatedly in the second period, scoring four times--a grand slam of sorts--to establish an NHL outdoors game single-period record--with three of those scores coming off odd-man rushes.
The Rangers comeback actually began late in the first period. Trailing 3-1 after a pair of Patrick Elias goals and one by Travis Zajac, Staal snuck a left wing shot through Brodeur at 16:59, just 52 seconds after Zajac had give the Devils their 3-1 advantage. Brodeur's misplay of Staal's seemingly harmless shot helped New York get back on its collective feet, and also brought the Rangers Faithful back into the game on a frigid January day in the Bronx.
The second period was all Rangers as they scored four times on 11 shots against Brodeur, who allowed more than five goals to the Rangers for the first time in 100 career appearances against his most hated rival. Zuccarello's first of the game tied the score, 3-3, just 2:48 into the second period. John Moore tore up left wing, using his speed to leave Devil forwards in his wake, before centering a pass to Zuccarello who redirected the puck into the cage, eliciting loud "Zuuuccc" chats from the Ranger fans in attendance.
Zuccarello gave the Rangers and their fans more to cheer about when he scored his 15th goal of the season at 12:44, giving New York its first lead of the game. This time it was Brassard with the sweet pass to the flying Norwegian off another odd-man rush which burned the Devils, Brassard's second assist of the period.
Less than two minutes later Carl Hagelin wheeled out of the corner with the puck, curled at the right-wing circle, and wristed a shot towards the Devils net. The puck deflected off at least one--and possibly two-- New Jersey d-men in front and caromed past a stunned Brodeur at 13:53, giving the Rangers a 5-3 lead.
Rick Nash put an exclamation point on the Rangers dominant second period when he scored off a 3-on-1 odd-man rush with just 28.5 seconds remaining in the period. The goal was Nash's team-leading 18th on the season, and his 11th in the last 11 games. Nash now has a five-game goal scoring streak, after burying Stepan's pass past the beleaugured Brodeur.
The scoring play began back by the Rangers blueline when Stralman leveled the Devils puck carrier to create yet another turnover. Staal then collected the puck, outletted to Stepan, and the Rangers finished for the 6-3 lead. Both Stralman and Staal finished a plus-four in the plus/minus category on Sunday.
Stepan added one more to the tally at 10:06 of the third period when he beat New Jersey's Cory Schneider--who had replaced Brodeur at the start of the final period--under the crossbar on a penalty shot after being hooked down on a breakaway. Stepan skated in slowly before breaking in on Schneider and whipping the forehand shot into the cage for his tenth goal of the season.
While Stepan's goal was the final one for the Rangers, Dominic Moore's goal at 9:07 of the opening period was their first. Moore buried a rebound of a Stralman shot to tie the game at the time, 1-1, his fourth goal of the season.
The win was the Rangers first this season against the Devils (1-2-1), ad helped them snap a mini two-game skid overall. They will play outdoors again at Yankee Stadium in their next game, Wednesday night, against the Islanders.

A Post-Sequestration Blueprint for a Leaner and Smarter Military
By Jeong Lee
Five months after the much-dreaded sequestration went into effect, many defense analysts and military officials alike are worried about the negative repercussions of the drastic budget cuts on military readiness. In his latest commentary, the rightwing commentator Alan Caruba declared that "The U.S. military is on life support." Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel also argued in his Statement on Strategic Choices and Management Review (SCMR) that "sequester-level cuts would 'break' some parts of the strategy, no matter how the cuts were made [since] our military options and flexibility will be severely constrained."
To its credit, the SCMR seemed to hint at operational and structural adjustments underway by offering two options—trading "size for high-end capacity" versus trading modernization plans "for a larger force better able to project power." Nevertheless, one important question which went unasked was whether or not the US Armed Forces alone should continue to play GloboCop.
The current geostrategic environment has become fluid and fraught with uncertainties. As Zhang Yunan avers, China as a "moderate revisionist" will not likely replace the United States as the undisputed global champion due to myriad factors. As for the United States, in the aftermath of a decade-long war on terror and the ongoing recession, we can no longer say with certainty that the United States will still retain its unipolar hegemony in the years or decades to come.

Large square toe
"Thought of these shoes as a DIY, was going to dye & add detail to them for my upcoming wedding but they are not the cutest shoe I've tried on. Good for the price but the square toe area was about 2 times as large as normal, everything else fit fine but maybe going down a half size would have solved this problem."

Laurier's sustainability efforts highlighted in Climate Action Plan for Waterloo Region
Oct 28/13
Wilfrid Laurier University has been highlighted in the recently released Climate Action Plan for Waterloo Region.
The university was commended for its commitment to reduce its carbon impact by 25 per cent over the next 10 years. To achieve this goal, Laurier recently sub-metered all of its main buildings with electricity, natural gas, and water meters. The meters feed utility information into an energy management system as well as an online dashboard for the university and greater community to see. The project was made possible through an investment from the Presidents Innovation Seed Fund.
Laurier was also noted as a Pledging Partner in Regional Carbon Initiative, a collective effort to reduce the carbon impact of organizations located in Waterloo Region. To-date, these collective commitments add up to 45,000 tonnes, or the equivalent of taking 10,000 cars off the road every year.
The Climate Action Plan for Waterloo Region was developed by a number of local organizations operating collectively as ClimateActionWR. The plans aim is to take a significant step towards improving quality of life in Waterloo Region by transitioning to a low-carbon economy and, in doing so, taking leadership in a global effort to reduce the impacts of climate change.
Claire Bennett, Laurier's sustainability coordinator, was chair of the Institutional, Commercial and Industrial (ICI) section of the group that developed the plan. As well, a key proponent of the plan is the organization known as Sustainable Waterloo Region, which was co-founded by Laurier alumnus Mike Morrice.
The Climate Action Plan for Waterloo Region, which will be presented to local municipal councils this fall, can be found at: http://www.sustainablewaterlooregion.ca/files/u/Climate_Action_Plan-Final_HighRes.pdf

IntroductionTitian (tĭshˈən) [key], c.1490–1576, Venetian painter, whose name was Tiziano Vecellio, b. Pieve di Cadore in the Dolomites. Of the very first rank among the artists of the Renaissance, Titian was extraordinarily versatile, painting portraits, landscapes, and sacred and historical subjects with equal skill and a superb pictorial technique. He had an immense influence on succeeding generations of painters, especially in his use of color. A charming and pioneering businessman as well as an artist, Titian introduced his works to an international audience of patrons and viewers and was an important participant in the burgeoning global cultural trade of the 16th cent.

I didn't make any progress baking bread reliably until I gave up my scale and just went for the feel of the dough. <shrug> Unfortunately I've had no success teaching others that 'this here is just right' - apparently no substitute for experience. Come to think of it the guy who first taught me how to bake bread was so frustrated with me because I wasn't getting him saying 'here, this is right, can you feel it?'.... Occasionally people ask me to teach them how to make bread, and I show them my way but tell them to do it by weight for a while, pay close attention to the results, and eventually it will become obvious and they can stop weighing. Sometimes that happens, sometimes not. Whatever works.

Hello ladies and gents - another plumbing question from me... Yesterday I removed the drywall in the bath we had gutted (well, I should say "almost" gutted since we had left most of the drywall up in the toilet/sink area). Anyway, when I removed it to expose the supply lines, I found what I *think* is a mess left by a previous DIYer.
It appears that the second bath, which abuts this bath and shares the wet wall, was placed where there used to be a laundy room. Inside the wall, I found an unused and sealed cast iron drain line at washer height and galvanized hot and cold supply.
Here's kicker #1 - There is copper tube connected DIRECTLY to the galvanized hot and cold lines!
Kicker #2 - The copper lines aren't ridgid - they're "bendable." There are lines running from these galavanized supply lines to 1 sink, the washer, and the toilet. The lines bend and snake through the walls and around corners until they get to their destinations. I thought I saw a This Old House episode where the god of plumbing, Richard Tretheway, was pointing out that in the US you can't just bend copper if you want to turn. You must use an elbow. The point was that in England, water pressue is so low that you CAN bend copper there...but not here.
Anyway, my question is, can this bendable copper be used safely? I plan to replace it anyway, but my friend (who owns this home) asked if it was even up to code. I don't think it is, but I wanted to ask the pros! Thanks to everyone for your continued assistance. Your answers to my questions have been invaluable!

Teams In The Playoffs Take our minds off the drama right now
Posted 03 January 2013 - 12:56 PM
Anyways of course the Jets are a complete mess at this point, and it doesn't need to be said how much the organization is in shambles right now, so time to change the topic. I want to know who is rooting for who in the playoffs this year. With the story about Ray Lewis retiring yesterday, the scenarios for this weekend's games can't get that much better.
Personally I'm for Denver, Minnesota, and Baltimore. Would love to hear other people's opinions on who their teams are and why.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 01:21 PM
Minny should go far they just need zero turn overs. Strong D and that run game should help them beat up on some teams.
Also denver with that defense and manning beating up on teams they should probably make it to the afc champ game.
I'm hoping for another pats manning show down. It will probably be the last of an era.
Playoffs are so awesome
Posted 03 January 2013 - 01:30 PM
I'm interested in Seattle, Indy, and Denver.
I love Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck, and want to see them succeed. I also find it interesting how Pete Carroll can flame out with the Jets and Pats and now be successful with the Seahawks...interesting when someone actually does learn from past failures.
And Denver, of course, Peyton Manning...I want him to put the exclamation point on him being the greatest QB of all time.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 01:39 PM
In the AFC I think the Bengals and Ravens are hugely flawed teams, but at least the Bengals are at least hot. Flacco sucks and so I see them being out first round. I could see Denver getting to the SB, but really I think NE is going to beat anyone they face in the AFC and those are the only two teams that look Championship worthy on that side.
So I'm going GB vs NE in the SB and NE getting another championship.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 02:05 PM
stop brady you stop ne.
also belichick hates to lose, so it would be nice to see him sqirm again in the playoffs.

Agreed. 100 times agreed.
I'm pulling for Manning again. I love watching him play and like him much more than Brady.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 07:27 PM
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:18 PM
I'm really only going to be anti-Pats in the playoffs, and hope every game is a good one. With that said, I would love to see Peyton put a cap on his career.
Also, if the Broncos make the Super Bowl and face any of the NFC division winners it will be a rematch of a previous Super Bowl.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 11:07 PM
Posted 04 January 2013 - 04:32 AM
My prediction: New England vs Green Bay
Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:20 PM
I'd say the Bengals and Seahawks are most capable of springing a surprise, the former because they face a Texans team that has been out of sorts in recent weeks and the latter because of their defensive strength as well as Wilson's smarts.
Even though the NFC was the stronger conference this year, I think the Super Bowl winner will come from the AFC with the Broncos edging Green Bay.
My picks for this weekend would be: Cincinnati, Seattle, Green Bay and Baltimore.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:49 PM
I wouldn't mind seeing Manning beat Brady though, win the SB and show how hes better than Brady as he wins a SB with 2 different teams.
The Ravens probably beat the Colts, but won't get past the 2nd round.
The Texans have been falling off lately, but I think they beat the Bengals.
I think the Seahawks will beat the Redskins, they are set up a lot like we were in 2009, except that Russell Wilson is actually good while Sanchez sucks. Great defense, great run game, great rookie QB. I think they are a contender.
The Falcons will go 1 and done again, or lose in the championship game, played weak schedule.
The Packers are going to beat the Vikings.

Oilers/Canadians Postgame(s): Overtime Losses
Jonathan Willis
January 05 2010 11:58PM
Coyotes: 5, Oilers: 4 (OT)
USA: 6, Canada: 5 (OT)
Both teams near and dear to the collective heart of OilersNation lost by a single goal in overtime. Team Canada lost at the World Juniors after an incredible comeback effort fueled by two late Jordan Eberle goals. It wasn't enough, as Capitals prospect John Carlson scored the overtime winner to give the U.S. the gold medal.
Meanwhile in Edmonton, the Oilers twice came back from two goal deficits, but lost in overtime on a Shane Doan goal. Another loss, another bad outing for Jeff Deslauriers, and another game that I presume very few people actually watched because there was a chance to watch hockey played by a team that wins every now and again.
Team Canada Star
1. Jordan Eberle. Yep, that's it. There were other strong performances in tonight's game (Pietrangelo, for one, was pretty good)but it was Eberle who once again came through in the clutch, scoring goals with 2:49 and 1:35 left in the third period of the hockey game. He was Canada's best player - perhaps the best player on the ice - from the middle of the second period on, and his big-game heroics on the junior stage have given him a lasting place in Canadian hockey lore.
Random Thoughts
Eberle was named tournament MVP and Best Forward at this year's WJC. Given that Anton Lander and Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson also had good tournaments, there's plenty of reason for hope (and with three of the first four stories on the official website being about the WJC, the Oilers know it). Isn't hope wonderful?
With the Springfield Falcons 5-2 loss on Sunday, Taylor Chorney now sits at minus-19 in the 16 games since he's been returned to the AHL. I don't know why he's posted such miserable numbers since turning pro (my guess would be defensive incompetence) but they're certainly continuing.
On the other side of the spectrum, Theo Peckham is the only plus defenceman in Springfield. There's reason for hope there.
With his two point night this evening, the much-reviled Patrick O'Sullivan is as hot as he's been all season; he has three goals, three assists, and a plus-1 rating in the last six games.
I completely agree with Brownlee's argument about splitting time the rest of the way between Deslauriers and Dubnyk the rest of the way.
Congratulations to Dustin Penner on his 20th goal of the season; it's his first goal in seven games, and hopefully this marks the end of the mini-slump he's been in. Lowetide suggested that the Oilers might consider trading him a few days back (a suggestion that wasn't met with a chorus of cheers) but there's a part of me that wonders if his early season performance was an aberration. After scoring 15 points in the first 10 games of the season, he's dropped to 7 or 8 points over the last three 10-game segements. Has he broken ou, or is he in danger of reverting to the 40-50 point player he's been the last three years? I don't know the answer, but if I were the Oilers I'd be thinking about it.
January 06 2010, 11:20AM
Not sure who I'd pick between Gagner and Eberle right now.....but I do know that I NEVER want to see them on the same line.
Okay, powerplay maybe - but just say 'no' to the smurfs.
Tracie said:"Eberle is small, but so is St. Louis and Crosby and they seem to get it done. I believe Eberle is stronger on the puck and his speed and hands open up space for him to do stuff...the frustrating thing with Cogs is that he has speed but no hands and with Nilsson and Gags, they get pushed off the puck really easy. Eberle finds opens space and can do stuff with it...I think him and Gags are keepers and try to find some good draft picks for Cogs and Nilsson. Again, just my thoughts..."
So you've seen Eberle perform in the NHL alongside Crosby and St Louis? You know for sure that Eberle will be stronger on the puck than Nilsson or Gagner? What caused you to believe that Eberle will be able to "do stuff" with the puck against NHL regulars on a nightly basis?
Not to be harsh... but Eberle is a Prospect. Nobody.... and I mean nobody is 100% sure how Eberle's game will translate in the NHL. Did anyone notice how Schremp had been tracking ahead of Eberle offensively on Willis's graph on the main page? It's a little early to get so excited. Oiler fans always do that... we build entire rosters and assign expectations on a bunch of hopefull's and maybe's.
RE: Trading Eberle
As always, it depends on value. There's always a price, and if someone comes in and knocks your socks off with an offer you have to think about it.
Particularly since everyone in the hockey world is going to be gaga over him right now, and his junior numbers (prior to this year) really haven't been all that amazing.
That said, barring an amazing offer, Eberle's a guy you prioritize - less because of his world junior performance (it's six games, people - six games!) and more because of the leap forward he's taken in junior this year (29 goals and 60 points in 28 games). The only caveat there of course is if they're all power play points (Rob Schremp at the same age had 57 goals and 145 points in 57 games, thanks to his power play prowess).
I guess what I'm saying is this: 99% of Oilers fans are going to read too much into a couple of strong tournaments - really three key games where Eberle was unbelievably good - and over-value this player. Yes, he's a very good prospect, but we shouldn't look at a few games and pronounce him untouchable.
IMO he's getting close to untouchable....the hand quickness is already NHL calibre. You did mention his 2 world jr tourneys and the season he is having this year in the Dub but you forgot to mention he also spent 9 games in Springfield last season and while there was arguably their best offensive forward garnering 9 pts in the 9 games he played last year. I believe he may have been the teams top scorer over that period of time.
All signs point to this kid being the real deal. As far as picking between Gagner and Eberle...well the great thing is we don't have to...we have them both.
Was it Tambellini in his interview with Duthie on TSN who was saying that, in the preseason games with the Oilers, nobody generated more scoring chances than Jordan Eberle?
To me he just seems more hungry to score goals and that's why I'd choose Eberle over Gagner. Not that Gagner doesn't love scoring goals...his sh!t eating grin after every goal is hilariously awesome. I want a player that's gonna rifle the puck at the net from all angles. Sometimes I think we lack that in our lineup. They always seem to be looking for the nice passing play instead of just firing it at the net.
I guess with any prospect you just don't know what you've got until they play some games with the big club. But I would suggest foot speed and hockey IQ of Eberle to be at least superior to Robbie Schremp...IMO.
You must have missed last night's Oilers game (no surprise there). Gagner had 7 shots against a pretty decent NHL team.
I dunno, but maybe we should see how Eberle plays in the men's league before anointing him the next hockey Jesus. As we've seen, racking up points in the juniors doesn't necessarily mean a home run in the NHL (see Robbie Scremp).
Not sure why we're comparing Schremp and Eberle but in any case one big difference is Eberle also plays a sound defensive game and was used extensively as a PKer in the world juniors. Also Schremp played on a team with many more weapons on it than the Regina team that Eberle plays on. IMO there is no comparison. Eberle outshines Schremp on all levels.
Eberle outshines Schremp on all levels? Really? Easy statement to make given that Schremp has failed to make an impact in the NHL... But how do you KNOW given that Eberle has never played a single game in the NHL? Hindsight doesn't even apply. When Schremp had his 149 point season he "outshined" Eberle IMO... and back then nobody, and I mean nobody in Oil Country wanted to hear about his small frame and poor overall footspeed... Btw just exactly how big and fast is Eberle again?
No doubt that Eberle's value is higher than it has ever been, but he is the last person they would consider trading right now. Given all the bad press surrounding the team this season, trading the Canadian Hero(almost)would be a PR nightmare. People on ON are more than just your casual hockey fans and might be able understand a trade that involved him. People who only catch the odd game, flip on the highlights, or caught the WJC would be convinced the Oil were trading Gretzky again.

Eberle has a loooooong way to go before he could (might) be compared to Gretzky. Jeez man. He hasn't even played in a regular season game yet.

"I want a player that's gonna rifle the puck at the net from all angles."
Sounds like O'sully, and no one likes him ;)
I have yet to see Osullivan "rifle" the puck, that guy has the softest shot on the team and that includes JDD

Graham Kitchener and Scott Hamilton are both in Leicester's starting XV for Saturday's clash with Harlequins at Welford Road.
Graham Kitchener and Scott Hamilton have been named in Leicester's starting XV for Saturday's Premiership clash with Harlequins at Welford Road.
There are also returns for Matt Smith and Steve Mafi, who have been included amongst the replacements.
Kitchener sat out last week's defeat at Wasps, while Hamilton and Mafi have not played since the Round Two trip to Bath.
Smith has recovered from a broken thumb and joins the matchday squad for the first time this season.
Hamilton adds experience to the Tigers backline, while Kitchener lines up next to skipper Louis Deacon in the second row. Smith and Mafi are among the replacements.
Kitchener's return means a move into the back row for Ed Slater, with Jordan Crane recalled at number eight.
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "It's good to get some more bodies back because we've been pretty thin in some positions.
"The effort and endeavour were there at Wasps last week but our accuracy was poor and we have to put that right. Quins will come with the attitude to play their game and we have just got to concentrate on what we do.
"The game is pretty much sold-out and we need the supporters right behind us to help us through this difficult period."
Unavailable due to injury are Anthony Allen, Gonzalo Camacho, Tom Croft, Vereniki Goneva, Rob Hawkins, Ryan Lamb, Scott Steele, Mathew Tait and Manu Tuilagi.
Dan Cole, Toby Flood, and Ben and Tom Youngs are in the England squad for the start of the autumn series, while Geoff Parling suffered a mild concussion in training with the national team this week and sits out the first Test against Australia.
Meanwhile, there are a number of changes to Harlequins' side that beat Sale Sharks last weekend.
Tim Molenaar will make his first team debut for the south-west London club following his move from Gloucester earlier this week. He partners Matt Hopper in the centres.
Nick Evans moves to full-back in the absence of Tom Williams, who misses out through injury, with Ben Botica starting at fly-half. Charlie Walker and Ugo Monye are named on the right and left wings respectively with Danny Care completing the back-line.
The pack remains the same. On the bench, Charlie Matthews is named for the first time this season having returned from injury. He replaces George Merrick. Karl Dickson and Sam Smith will both be ready to make an impact when they come on while Tom Casson makes a return from injury. Prop Nic Mayhew replaces Kyle Sinckler.
Form: The Aviva Premiership table currently has an unfamiliar look about it, with perennial top-four finishers Leicester and Harlequins both out of the play-off places. The Tigers' only victory in their last four fixtures in all tournaments was a 34-3 win over Treviso at Welford Road in the European Cup – they lost at London Wasps to the boot of Andy Goode last time out at Adams Park. Comparatively, Harlequins ended a four-game losing run with their 24-3 victory over Sale Sharks last weekend but have been defeated in their last two away games against London Irish and Clermont Auvergne.O'Shea's men have not been successful on the road in the Premiership since beating Worcester at Sixways at the end of September. The Tigers have lost only one home game in all competitions since September 2012 and that was 27-32 to Saracens in February. But Harlequins won both encounters with the Tigers in the regular season of the Premiership last year, while Leicester exacted revenge with a 33-16 victory in May in the semi-final. Harlequins have had a remarkable recent run of success at Welford Road gaining three wins from their last five visits in all competitions .
