|In response to Re: Was locating pipes, now another idea
: Thanks to all who answered my call for help in locating pipes in a slab floor. Before I start digging ,I found this "thing" called a Drainosaur. This device attaches to the drain on the laundry tub and pumps the water to another location for drainage. In my situation I'd be pumping the water up into the attic and back over to the original laundry room tub and drain line. The distance between the rooms is about 15 feet and the height of the attic is about 10 feet. The pump is rated for 21 feet of lift. Does anyone have any opinions on using this method?? Do you think it would be approved by a city building dept? Should the drain line be attached to the existing line or could it just empty into the existing laundry tub?
: Thanks again

Art of Betty Mittleman, donated by the artist to CHGS. Art works may be borrowed from Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. For rental and transport costs, contact email@example.com.
There is a story about Claire Booth Luce complaining that she was bored with hearing about the Holocaust. A Jewish friend of hers said he perfectly understood her sensitivity in the matter; in fact, he had the same sense of repetitiousness and fatigue, hearing so often about the Crucifixion. - Herbert Gold. "Selfish Like Me."
Betty Mittleman has embarked on this very course to attempt to understand the Holocaust through her art and convey some understanding and emotion to the audience. Work on this subject cannot be comprehensivethe subject, with each individual story, cannot be exhausted. But for Mittleman, there is an imperative to retell to story to a new generation through her art, for art becomes an avenue of memory. Her most recent works, including Silence is Golden and The Warsaw Ghetto Series, resemble icons. Some are based on photographic images from the famous works of Roman Vishniac, who dramatically conveyed the destruction process of the Holocaust by reflecting upon what was lost in his album, A Vanished World. By quoting Vishniac artistically, Mittleman establishes an intellectual and artistic continuity with predecessors like Vishniac who had a great concern for telling the story of the Holocaust. The artist has taken photo images out of original context and has remade them into iconographic figures, by transferring the photos onto the reverse side of glass and surrounding them with gold leaf. This technique evokes images of Medieval and Renaissance artistic processes. Mittleman creates a sense of aging, or destruction in her work by leaving sections of the photos or the background blurred, torn, washed out, or suspended in space, creating a visual understanding that this world no longer exists and that the subjects of her work, often children and Yeshiva students from the preWar Yiddish schools, were victims and martyrs for the diabolical schemes of Nazism. She has remarked that the surface of her glass evokes the form of seventeenth century funereal vases from Bohemia.
In looking at the subjects, who appear "ordinary," the viewer is forced to reflect upon the conditions of the current age, when others, nonJews as well as Jews, have the potential for becoming victims to acts of violence and terrorism. In the aftermath of the terrorist bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building in 1995, one might easily construct a similar hall of martyrs of those who saw themselves as "ordinary people."
The icon-like imagery of Mittleman's work is important. A logical comparison is Byzantine and Russian icons. The particular color field of Mittleman's series is evocative of archetypal works like the Virgin of Vladimir, one of Russia's most famous Byzantine 11th century icons. In that work, sometimes called "The Virgin of Tenderness," the viewer is forced to contemplate the very human aspects of the love relationship between Virgin Mary and Jesus. Using that as an analogy, Mittleman tries to give us a glimpse of the same aura of love and learning which dominated prewar small town Jewish life, and then vanished in the horror of the Holocaust, never to be reconstituted. In this destruction, not only were Jews killed, but also their patterns of learning and language. Unlike other tragedies. this wav of life cannot be, and will not be, reconstituted. Thus, a trip to Eastern Europe today is marked by Jewish absence rather than presence.
A final word should be noted about Mittleman's typical method of hanging her works. They are usually hung close together in long rows. Several were shown with lights and a fence, evoking an image of persecution, separation, and destruction. The result is a reaffirmation of the subjects being an extended family, and thus establishing spiritual links between nameless victims and the artist herself.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Do US Presidents Live Longer Than the Average Joe?
Dec. 6, 2011 - Yes, the job seems to turn them gray and age them before our eyes, but a new study shows that being president of the United States may not actually shorten a man's life.
In fact, those holding the highest elected office in the land tend to live longer than other men who were the same age when they first took office. This was true even when factoring in that American presidents are thought to age twice as fast while in office.
The study appears in the Dec. 7 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
To understand how aging affects the presidency, longevity researcher Stuart J. Olshansky, PhD, included data from 34 American presidents who died of natural causes.
For those no longer living, he looked at the commander in chiefs' ages at inauguration and at death. This was compared to death records for other men who were the same age when the presidents entered the White House.
For living presidents, the study looked at the men's ages when they first took office and their estimated life span. This was compared to the expected life span for same-aged peers.
Health to the Chief?
One doctor has suggested that the typical president ages two years for every year in office. And if you compare photos of the men when they enter and leave the White House, they do look older -- with more gray hair (or less hair) and more wrinkles.
To account for aging twice as fast, Olshansky subtracted two days of life for every day the president held office from their estimated life span.
Two-thirds of American presidents who died of natural causes lived longer than other men in the country during that same time period. Their average age at death was 78; their estimated age at death with "accelerated aging" was 67.
The actual life span for all 34 presidents who died of natural causes was 73 years on average. Presidents who died younger than expected lived to 62 rather than an estimated 67.8 years.
All living presidents have already had a longer life than their peers or will likely do so.

Chocolate curls
* hard plastic foil
* crenellated rubber comb or plastic combscraper
* triangular palette knife
* tempered chocolate
* stainless steel plate furnished with paper
Temper the melted chocolate and pour a portion on to the plastic foil.
Spread the chocolate out evenly in a thin layer with the palette knife.
Push the plastic combscraper away from you through the chocolate layer so that the lines stand out. Are you using a crenellated rubber comb? Then make the movement in reverse: pull the comb through the chocolate towards you.
Next, scrape away the edges of the chocolate that flow over the edge of the foil with the palette knife.
Lift up the plastic foil and give it a twist. Keep it in this position until the chocolate has hardened and the foil itself stays curled. Then allow the foil to harden still further (perhaps in the refrigerator). With the point of a knife carefully loosen the curled chocolate strips. Very attractive as decoration for patisserie or desserts.
All chocolates with a basic viscosity:
Any chocolate with a basic viscosity () will deliver outstanding results. They have the right fluidity to create decorations with a perfect thickness. Above all, these basic types are very easy to work with.
Do you want to create fine, filmy decorations? Then you should choose the chocolate types with a higher (2% to 3% more) cocoabutter content. You can identify these by the number 2 or 3 before the basic code ().

We Mothers (And Our Daughters) Deserve More: Olay Total Effect 7 in One Toning Moisturizer $50 VISA Giveaway
This is me. No filter. Me, after that outrageous Bob-Harper-is-the-Devil workout last month. I am flushed, but I feel good.
Trying to avoid having it go to my head, but in the worst shape of my life with my self-esteem in the dumps, this picture resulted in an incredible number of positive, glowing reactions.
Maybe some readers were happy I was finally doing the right thing for myself. Loved ones enjoyed that I actually took a self-portrait -- there are very few pictures of me in existence when I am not happy with how I look.
Certainly my kids will be happy to add another to the handful of photos I've allowed during their childhood.
Personally? I think the reason I received so many compliments was that I was, for once, not smothering my skin in a thick blanket of foundation. Yes, foundation as in what they layer under houses in cement like slabs. My skin was much more luminous.
What was I wearing in the picture? A little something I got in the mail called Olay® Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer. It's moisturizer, sunscreen and a light dreamy toner all in one.
Perfect for a quick stop into the grocery store after a workout at the gym. I had slapped it on between errands and appointments.
Yes I know, by now most of the damage has been done. Actually, experts agree the majority of damage to our skin happens in our youth, but the damage doesn't show up until decades later. My friends, I have the age spots to show for my recklessness in the California sun.
Lucky us, we received two bottles of Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer in the mail and I gave the medium shade to her because I think it's never too early to start protecting our skin from damage.
With the fun bottle and the allure of the light toner and, more important, no stingy eyes, she's hooked and so am I.
Even better, the vitamin-rich complex combines SPF 15 sunscreen, a sheer tint and an anti-aging moisturizer which works to reduce the SEVEN signs of aging:
1. Line Minimization: Reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles
2. Nourishing Moisturization: For a radiant, healthy glow
3. Tone Enhancement: Balances color and reduces appearance of age spots
4. Gentle Exfoliation: Smoothes and evens skin texture
5. Eye Puffiness Reduction: Massages to reduce the appearance of eye puffiness
6. Free Radical Defense: Helps prevent damage to skin's surface
7. Dryness Defense: Reduces the appearance of dryness
In my purse!
I will always have a beauty tool with me to expedite my beauty routine when time runs out between carpools, kids' activities, and my work.
In the long run, I know spending a little time now will save me years of damage on my skin (and my daughter's) later.
Tell me about it in the comments for the chance to win a $50 VISA card -- maybe to buy a few bottles of Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer for yourself.
Take care of yourselves and take care of your daughters!

By J. Fred Sidhu, special to USTA.com
When it came to tennis in Tyler, Texas, Charles Millard Countryman was someone who made a difference.
Tennis was a passion for the 82-year-old Countryman, who began assisting at tennis tournaments in Texas in the early 1980s and became a certified USTA official in 1990. During his 23 years as an official, he devoted his life to officiating matches and supporting the development of tennis programs throughout Texas.
Countryman passed away on Thursday, Oct. 17, the same day the USTA Texas Section women's team from Tyler arrived in Indian Wells, Calif., to play in the 2013 USTA League Adult 40 & Over 4.0 National Championships.
"We were on our way out here for this tournament and when the plane landed, I turned on my phone and got a bunch of text messages coming through and one of them said he had passed away that morning. It just made me cry," said team captain Shawna Tankersley.
"He was just a great guy. He was very loving and outgoing. He ate, drank and slept tennis," added Tankersley, whose team represents the Hollytree Country Club in Tyler. "He became an official and he upheld the rules and the standards of the USTA and he expected everyone else to do that too, play fair and play it the way it's supposed to be played."
Tankersley fondly remembered Countryman as an official who always called foot faults. "We have a girl here this weekend who said she was not going to foot fault all weekend in honor of Millard," she said with a smile.
According to Tankersley, Countryman was to be buried with his tennis racquet.
"He loved the game and played it until he absolutely couldn't play it anymore," Tankersley said. "Just seeing that white-haired old man on the court and when you saw him, it just brought a smile to your face."

It's all on the line as the Kings and the Lions prepare to do battle in Friday's first leg of their Super Rugby promotion-relegation clash.
It's all on the line as the Kings and the Lions prepare to do battle in the first leg of their Super Rugby promotion-relegation clash.
In a sense, Friday's match is more important than the Super Rugby semi-finals that will be played the following day or perhaps even next week's final. This two-leg play-off is not about silverware, it's a simple matter of survival.
The Kings have performed admirably in their first season of Super Rugby. A bright start saw them fair very well against Australian opposition, beating the Force and Rebels and grabbing an exhilarating draw with the Brumbies.
However, they faded badly in the latter stages of the campaign, despite notching up a further win over the Highlanders, taking a bit of shine off their opening successes.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness of the Vodacom Cup, the Lions have been doing all that could be expected of them – winning. The men from Johannesburg hoisted the Vodacom Cup trophy after beating the Pumas in the final, although their build-up to the knockout stages was not the most convincing as they squeaked through on points difference.
Alongside the Vodacom Cup, the Lions have run a series of fixtures that make up the 'Lions Challenge', which has seen them beat Russia, Mont de Marsan and Samoa but also have a host of fixtures cancelled, hurting their preparation for the match against the Kings.
The Lions have been boosted by the return of lock Franco van der Merwe, hooker Martin Bezuidenhout and fly-half Elton Jantjies for the encounter, with the trio back with the union after Super Rugby loan spells with other franchises.
On the face of it, Jantjies is the man that should have the most impact. After a disappointing season with the Stormers, the young pivot has a point to prove and it may be the last one he gets to make for some time if he doesn't secure a deal in Cape Town.
However, one of the Lions' Achilles heels this year has been their set plays, with the line-out a particular concern. Van der Merwe confirmed his quality at the Sharks and Johan Ackermann will need the experienced campaigner to step up and, in conjunction with Bezuidenhout, take responsibility for shoring up the Lions line-out.
The Kings will also be looking to a few key figures to step up, particularly in the absence of Luke Watson and Andries Strauss. The pair have shared the leadership duties for the majority of the season, although Friday's skipper Darron Nell has also worn the captain's armband. The hosts will also be without flyer Sergeal Petersen whose explosive nature will be missed.
Aside from the three absentees the side bears only one change to the one that beat the Force in the opening game of the season, with Nell replacing Steven Sykes. But while the personnel may not differ too much, the team seem to be in a different head space.
Real or imagined, one can't help but feel that a season of Super Rugby has left the Kings a bit flat ahead of what is the biggest game of the year. While head coach Matt Sexton on Tuesday spoke of the excitement within the squad for a game "that's like a Test match or a World Cup final", the feeling from the outside is that the Kings are not in the best shape.
This is obviously not ideal when one considers the importance of the match; suggestions that it's do or die for the team that loses over two legs are not far-fetched – the financial implications will be massive.
However, if there is one thing that the Kings have shown this year is that they have the ability to surprise. They weren't expected to win a match this season yet they produced three victories with some great defence and industrious attack. They have certainly have the ability to win, but whether they will remains to be seen.
Head-to-head: There is a certain irony in the match-up between Demetri Catrakilis and Elton Jantjies. Jantjies is the man that wore the number ten jersey for the Stormers this season while Catrakilis was the player many began to wish was filling the role. It would be doing Jantjies a disservice to label his time with the Cape side as a failure, but it's safe to say he will need to prove a few doubters wrong on Friday. In contrast, Catrakilis has exceeded expectations this term, picking up from where he left off after a successful Currie Cup campaign with Western Province.
Key battle: Rather than one particular position, discipline will be the buzz word from both coaches heading into the game. Both Catrakilis and Jantjies are strong from the kicking tee and ill-discipline will prove costly not only on the scoreboard but also in terms of building up much-needed momentum.
The teams:
Kings: 15 SP Marais, 14 Hadleigh Parkes, 13 Ronnie Cooke, 12 Shane Gates, 11 Marcello Sampson, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Jacques Engelbrecht, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Cornell du Preez, 5 David Bulbring, 4 Darron Nell (capt), 3 Kevin Buys, 2 Bandise Maku, 1 Schalk Ferreira.

TSO OpenUP Competition – Opening Up UCAS Data
Here's the presentation I gave to the judging panel at the TSO OpenUp competition final yesterday. As ever, it doesn't make sense with[out] (doh!) me talking, though I did add some notes in to the Powerpoint deck: Opening up UCAS Course Code Data
(I had hoped Slideshare would be able to use the notes as a transcript, bit it doesn't seem to do that, and I can't see how to cut and paste the notes in by hand?:-(
A quick summary:
The "Big Idea" behind my entry to the TSO competition was a simple one – make UCAS course data (course code, title and institution) avaliable as data. By opening up the data we make it possible for third parties to construct services and applications based around complete data skeleton of all the courses offered for undergraduate entry through clearing in a particular year across UK higher education.
The data acts as scaffolding that can be used to develop consumer facing applications across HE (e.g. improved course choice applications) as well as support internal "vertical" activities within HEIs that may also be transferable across HEIs.
Primary value is generated from taking the course code scaffolding and annotating it with related data. Access to this dataset may be sold on in a B2B context via data platform services. Consumer facing applications with their own revenue streams may also be built on top of the data platform.
This idea makes data available that can potentially disrupt the currently discovery model for course choice and selection (but in its current form, not in university application or enrollment), in Higher Education in the UK.
Here are the notes I doodled to myself in preparation for the pitch. Now the idea has been picked up, it will need tightening up and may change significantly! ;-) Which is to say – in this form, it is just my original personal opinion on the idea, and all 'facts' need checking…
But when selected to pitch the idea, it became clear that an application or two were also required, or at least some good business reasons for opening up this data…
So here we go…
Postgraduate students and Open University students do not go through UCAS. Other direct entry routes to higher education courses may also be available.
According to UCAS, in 2010, there were 697,351 applicants with 487,329 acceptances, compared with 639,860 applications and 481,854 acceptances in 2009. [ Slightly different figures in end of cycle report 2009/10? ]
For convenience, hold in mind the thought that course codes could be to course marketing, what postcodes are for geo related applications… They provide a natural identifier that other things can be associated with.
Associated with each degree course is a course code. UCAS course codes are also associated with JACS codes – Joint Academic Coding System identifiers – that relate to particular topics of study. "The UCAS course codes have no meaning other than "this course is offered by this institution for this application cycle"." link]
"UCAS course code is 4 character reference which can be any combination of letters and numbers.
Each course is also assigned up to three JACS (Joint Academic Coding System) codes in order to classify the course for *J purposes. The JACS system was introduced for 2002 entry, and replaced UCAS Standard Classification of Academic Subjects (SCAS). Each JACS code consists of a single letter followed by 3 numbers. JACS is divided into subject areas, with a related initial letter for each. JACS codes are allocated to courses for the *J return.
The JACS system is used by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), and is the result of a joint UCAS-HESA subject code harmonization project.
JACS is also used by UK institutions to identify the subject matter of programmes and modules. These institutions include the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS), the Home Office and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE)."
Keywords: up to 10 keywords per course are allocated to each course from a restricted list of just over 4,500 valid keywords.
"Main keyword: This is generally a broad subject category, usually expressed as a single word, for example 'Business'.
Suggested keyword (SUG): Where a search on a main keyword identifies more than 200 courses, the Course Search user is prompted to select from a set of secondary keywords or phrases. These are the more specific 'Suggested keywords' attached to the courses identified. For example, 'Business Administration' is one of a range of 'Suggested keywords' which could be attached to a Business course (there are more than 60 others to choose from). A course in Business Administration would typically have this as the 'Suggested keyword', with 'Business' as the main keyword.
However, if a course only has a 'Suggested keyword' and not a related 'Main keyword', the course will not be displayed in any search under the 'Main keyword' alone.
Single subject: Main keywords can be ticked as 'Single subject'. This means that the course will be displayed by a keyword search on the subject, when the user chooses the 'single subject' option below. You may have a maximum of two keywords indicated as single subjects per course."
"Between January and March 2010, approximately 600,000 unique IP addresses access the UCAS course code search function. During the same time period, almost 5 million unique IP addresses accessed the UCAS subject search function." [link]
"New courses from 2012 will be given UCAS codes that should not be used for subject classification purposes. However, all courses will still be assigned up to three individual JACS3 codes based on the subject content of the course.
An analysis of unique IP address activity on the UCAS Course Search has shown that very few searches are conducted using the course code, compared to the subject search function. UCAS Courses Data Team will be working to improve the subject search and course keywords over the coming year to enable potential applicants to accurately find suitable courses." [link]
Course code identifiers have an important role to play within a university administrations, for example in marshalling resources around a course, although they are not used by students. (On the other hand, students may have a familiarity with module codes.) Course codes identify courses that are the subject of quality assessment by the QAA. To a certain extent, a complete catalogue of course codes allows third parties to organise offerings based around UK higher education degrees in a comprehensive way and link in to the UCAS application procedure.
– the release of horizontal data across the UK HE sector by HEIs, such as course catalogue information;
– vertical scaffolding within an institution for elaboration by module codes, which in turn may be associated with module descriptions, reading lists, educational resources, etc.
– the development across HE of services supporting student choice – for example "compare the uni" type services
XCRI is JISC's preferred way of doing this, and I think there has been some lobbying of HEFCE from various JISC projects, but I'm not sure how successful it's been?
Also context of data burden on HEIs, reporting to Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies – PSURBS.
Reconciliation with HESA Institution and campus identifiers, as well as the JISCMU API and Guardian Datablog Rosetta Stone spreadsheet
By hosting course code data, and using it as scaffolding within a Linked Data cloud around HE courses, a valuable platform service can be made available to HEIs as well as commercial operations designed to support student choice when it comes to selecting an appropriate course and university.
Opening up the data facilitates rapid innovation projects within HEIs, and makes it possible for innovators within an HEI to make progress on projects that span across course offerings even if they don't have easy access to that data from their own institution.
CompareTheUni has had a holding page up for months – but will it ever launch? Uni&Books crowd sources module codes and associated reading links. Talis Aspire is a commercial reading list system that associates resources with module codes.
Guardian datablog picked up the post, and I still get traffic from there on a daily basis… [link ]
One demonstrator I built used a bookmarklet to annotate UCAS course pages with a link to a resource page showing what books had been borrowed by students on that course at Huddersfiled University. [Link ]
The course codes also provide hooks against which it may be possible to deploy mappings across skills frameworks, e.g. SFIA in IT world. The course codes will also have associated JACS subject code mappings and UCAS search terms, which in turn may provide weak links into other domains, such as the world of books using vocabularies such as the Library of Congress Subject headings and Dewey classification codes.
Marketing of services built on top of the data platform will need to be marketed to the target audience using appropriate channels. Specialist marketers such as Campus Group may be appropriate partners here.
For platform business – e.g. business model based around selling queries on linked/aggregated/mapped datasets. If you imagine a query returning results with several attributes, each result is a row and each attribute is a column, If you allow free access to x thousand query cells returned a day, and then charge for cells above that limit, you:
Encourage wider innovation around your platform; let people run narrow queries or broad queries. License on use of data for folk to use on their own datastores/augmented with their own triples.
Generate revenue that scales on a metered basis according to usage;
– offer additional analytics that get your tracking script in third party web pages, helping train your learning classifiers, which makes platform more valuable.
For a consumer facing application – eg a course choice site for potential appications is the easiest to imagine:
– Short term model would be advertising (e.g. course/uni ads), affiliate fees on booksales for first year books? Seond hand books market eg via Facebook marketplace?
– Medium term – affiliate for for prospectus application/fulfilment
Long term – affiliate fee for course registration

Where the Mild Things Are
Thomas Drance
February 07 2013 11:53PM
Mason Raymond ices the win in Vancouver's 4-1 loss over the Minnesota Mild (TM @SocialAssassin2).
Coming into Thursday night's convincing 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild, the Vancouver Canucks had been the only division leader in the league who had yet to really impress anybody. Maybe that sentiment is too negative, certainly the goaltending has been stellar (unsustainably stellar, actually), but it's fair to say that the majority of observers (fans, media, whatever) have found the club's conservative low-event stylings, the paralytic power-play, and the inability to hold two goal leads to be concerning.
I think the mood has shifted a bit following Vancouver's comeback win over the Oilers on Monday, and their blowout of the Wild on Thursday. These were supposed to be the two teams that were improved enough to challenge the Canucks' stranglehold on Northwest Division supremacy! At least they were supposed to be able to hang around in the standings until Ryan Kesler returned to Vancouver's lineup. But that hasn't been the case, as the Canucks have proven cagey enough - or perhaps it's that their goaltending has proven stingy enough - and the team has managed to pick up points even on off nights.
At long last on Thursday night in Minnesota, the Canucks brought it out of the gate and put away an inferior opponent early. This was not an off night for the club. Read on past the jump.
- We'll start, how else, but with the most important numbers. The Vancouver Canucks were out-chanced by the Minnesota Wild by a final tally of 15-8. The Wild did most of their damage on the power-play recording eight scoring chances with the man-advantage. At evens, the two clubs recorded seven scoring chances a side, but obviously that number is "score effects" inflated. In fact the Wild only recorded a single solitary scoring chance in either a "game tied" or "game close" game state.
- While the Canucks controlled this game and put it away early, Minnesota had a reasonable push back in the first fifteen minutes of the second period. In a four minute span from 3:58 to 7:58 of the middle frame, the Minnesota Wild managed six scoring chances, four of them "difficult shots" and Schneider was up to the task. In all, the Wild managed nine scoring chances in the period, none of which foiled Schneider. He stopped ten of eleven difficult shots on the evening, in addition to foiling 21 of 22 total Wild shots. So yeah, Cory Schneider is a pretty good goaltender and I think the Canucks should keep him.
- Daniel Sedins goal to open the scoring was the result of shrewd opportunism on the part of both Alex Burrows and Daniel. Burrows took advantage of a very strange neutral zone bounce, as a slow rolling Dan Hamhuis pass ricocheted like cow manure off the wall beyond Vancouver's blueline. The bounce was tough to anticipate and it pulled the Wild out of position as Burrows streaked cleanly into the offensive zone with the puck. Burrows took a hard, low back-hander at Niklas Backstrom's far pad, and Backstrom spewed the puck into the slot right onto the stick of Daniel Sedin. Sedin, who had toughed out a hook from Zack Parise and still flat out beat the speedy American winger in a race to the front of the net, made no mistake on the loose puck.
- Wait, Daniel Sedin beat Zach Parise in a foot race?
- It happened. Check it out:
- Vancouver's second goal came right as a power-play expired, as Chris Higgins deflected a Maxim Lapierre shot from the top of the circle through Niklas Backstrom's five-hole. Nice to see Chris Higgins get a goal, he's been hounded for lacklustre play in the early going when really he's facing some of the hardest competiton on the team. You want to know who is really filling Ryan Kesler's role in the two-way centre's absence? It's Higgins, who has spent every game chasing around the likes of Kopitar, Getzlaf, Kane and Hemsky. The next time you see Higgins struggle to skate out a rush on the counter attack, just remember that what he's doing is more like - to use a basketball analogy - ace Spurs defender Bruce Bowen (back in the day) spending an entire offensive set waiting for the corner three after checking Kobe, than it is like"Higgins has lost a gear."
- Defenseman Jason Garrison, who has been critcized extensively for his rocky first month as a Canucks blue-liner (though I continue to be impressed by his possession game, frankly), picked up an assist on Higgins' goal but he wasn't all that involved in it really. Assist and especially secondary assists, are kind of stupid.
- Which is sort of why, I think, the Rogers Sportsnet broadcast was so insistent about Jordan Schroeder being credited with an assist on Mason Raymond's second period power-play goal. On Mason Raymond's goal, Jason Garrison shoots a puck through traffic and it ended up on Jordan Schroeder's stick in the slot. The impressive rookie centre - for whom, Thursday night's game was a homecoming - dove and took a dangerous looking backhander that Backstrom stopped. The puck was swatted at by prone Wild defender Clayton Stoner, and rolled directly to Mason Raymond who deposited the puck neatly into the open cage from thirty feet out.
- So to recap: Jason Garrison picks up an assist for a routine pass, but doesn't pick one up for a smart play to get a shot past the first defender. Meanwhile Jordan Schroeder doesn't get one for creating enough panic idown low that a Wild defender is forced to make a desperation swipe at the puck while lying on the ground, leading to Mason Raymond drilling the puck into an open net. Assists don't really tell you all that much about what a player has done to actually create a goal...
- Mason Raymond certainly deserved his on Jannik Hansen's goal, however, as he flipped a pass up ice that Jannik Hansen caught and capitalized on to really, emphatically put the game away with just a minute remaining in the second period. In the third, on a non-scoring chance, Jannik Hansen drove down the right-wing and drilled a slapshot that flustered and handcuffed Josh Harding (he had replaced Nik Backstrom by this point) who couldn't control the rebound. I'd really like to see Jannik Hansen try shooting one of those from the slot, or from the top of the circle when the team is set up in the offensive zone. The velocity the Danish speedster gets on his slapper is a serious weapon, and if he can figure out how to harness it he might be able to improve on his 10.1% career shooting clip and turn into a consistent twenty goal scorer. At worst he'd create a tonne of rebound opportunities.
- Vancouver's power-play managed to convert once tonight (and nearly twice, but missed out by a half of a second on Higgins' goal), but really it wasn't very good. Actually neither was the penalty killing, which looked a bit like a firedrill in the second period. But back to the first power-play unit which, in particular is just not producing much of anything in terms of shots or chances. Henrik Sedin, for example, wasn't "in" on the creation of a single scoring chance in Thursday night's game. That's cause for concern, because it's just happening way to frequently this season.
- I really dig the Maxim Lapierre, Chris Higgins, Zack Kassian third line. Kassian proved he can be a regular option with the Sedins (perhaps in particularly chippy games, or when Alain Vigneault wants a big body to battle in front of the net against certain matchups), but realistically I'm not sure he's a "top-line" forward at this stage in his career. He's twenty-two so there's nothing wrong with that, but I do wonder if he's better suited to banging bodies and contributing offense occassionally in the third-line role. Kassian rrecorded two scoring chances against the Wild on Thursday, which was actually the most recorded by any individual Canucks skater.
- Jordan Schroeder has played well, especially on the power-play, but he was mostly started in the offensive zone in this game. That said he saw some tough competition (against Mikko Koivu's line) while the game was close in the first perio and impressively won one of two draws against Koivu and four out of seven draws against Brodziak - both of whom are quality faceoff men. That sort of performance will help keep him in the lineup. You have to think that Schroeder's play will have made Vancouver's decision about whether or not to keep him on the NHL roster or return him to the AHLwhen Kesler returns, a difficult one.
Scoring Chances
A chance is counted any time a team directs a shot cleanly on-net from within home-plate. Shots on goal and misses are counted, but blocked shots are not (unless the player who blocks the shot is "acting like a goaltender"). Generally speaking, we are more generous with the boundaries of home-plate if there is dangerous puck movement immediately preceding the scoring chance, or if the scoring chance is screened. If you want to get a visual handle on home-plate, check this image.

Does Gillis really want to trade a goaltender this yr? They've been the biggest reason Canucks are wining games right now.
I dunno, if I'm Gillis I'm quietly letting it be known that Schneider is available for the right price. I've said before that the return for 35 with Lu in net is better for this team than the return for 1 with Schneider in net. It won't happen since management has clearly made up their minds, but the drop off between the two is insignificant, and Luongo will still be providing elite goaltending while this group has a realistic shot at winning. Schneider could get us the pieces that push us over the edge whereas I'm not sure Lu can. Opens up the teams interested as well.
We'd trade Schneider if Gillis wanted to win now at any cost. He obviously believes the group we have is capable of winning, without any huge addition and so trading Luongo makes much more sense if the aim is to be perennial contenders. Frankly, unless the deal is very good, keeping them both until the end of the season would give us the best chance this season.
sedin-sedin-burrows booth-schneider-kesler higgins-lapierre-kassian raymond-malholtra-hansen
with the offensive depth we have when booth and kes return, we could see the 3rd and 4th lines get a similar treatment to the 3rd line d paring
This is a pretty good position to be in and Gillis could trade either goalie and I'm probably going to be OK with it. That being said, my preference would be to keep the younger goalie that would be here for a longer period of time. It is just too difficult to acquire good goalies and I would rather not live through another period like the decade-or-so before Luongo got here. The longer we can prolong needing to find our next "goalie of the future" the better. My preference would be to keep Schneider but keeping Luongo is a pretty awesome plan b.
Have the Canucks outchanced their opponents in any game this year? Seems like every recap I read has them on the losing end of this tally (and often quite badly). Even without Kesler and Booth, that isn't very encouraging.

Have the Canucks outchanced their opponents in any game this year? Seems like every recap I read has them on the losing end of this tally (and often quite badly). Even without Kesler and Booth, that isn't very encouraging.
I agree that scoring chances are an important statistic however a more important statistic is wins and losses so whilst knowing that the Canucks are being outchanced gives the team a focus for "things to work on", the fact that they are 6-2-2 is very encouraging. It emphasizes, lest we forget, that hockey is a team game and this team as a whole, from the goal outwards, is playing well and getting better.
@Andress @Rob
The Canucks out-chanced the Avalanche and they've out-chanced other teams when it matters. Total counts can be deceiving so context is critical. In the first period, VAN had 2 scoring chances (and two goals) before the Wild managed their first. This game was never close and so, final count aside I'd say VAN won the chance battle.
A great recap of game.
However, There is conflicting evidence that score effects influence Scoring chances in the way implied.
For example, we know that a teams Sh% & Goal Rates increases when they are up. (& the converse is true -decreases when team is down)
So, with the Canucks leading(as was the case last night) we would expect the Wild to get more shots,& increase their Corsi(Possession) #'s (i.e. 'shot' effects) BUT not necessarily increase their quality & quantity of scoring chances. {Otherwise, we would see teams 'blowing leads much more often}.
From my research it IS a major concern that the Nucks are being outchanced.(regardless of 'score effects').
Conclusion: 1.It's clear the Canucks are relying on unsustainable goaltending. 2.When the Canucks play teams with better offensive skill(in playoffs) they will HAVE to have this 'great' goaltending to win.
Last year the Canucks were & average team in terms of ES chances - this year they are below average. The underlying fact is the team is regressing & not on a championship trajectory.

with the offensive depth we have when booth and kes return, we could see the 3rd and 4th lines get a similar treatment to the 3rd line d paring
Whoa. Now there's a novel way to solve the Canucks' traffic jam at the goalie position. I never would have thought of this, given the lack of puck-handling skills that Schneider has shown so far...

@ Dan. The fact that the team is regressing, what is causing it? Inadequate coaching? Players are regressing in performance? Lacklustre attitude & play by some players? What would you recommend the club does to chance this?
@ Dan. The fact that the team is regressing, what is causing it? Inadequate coaching? Players are regressing in performance? Lacklustre attitude & play by some players? What would you recommend the club does to chance this?
Great Question Bruce
1. I posted in Feb 2012 that The Nux had failed to replace Ehrhoff. I argued that the Nux would suffer a huge fall without him both on PP & with Edler & Sedins #'s. He could play Huge minutes & do it well. He had tremendous synergy with Sedins & Edler. They dominated Possession #'s when on the ice.
The fact is they choose not to give him 5 mil for 7 years which would have kept him under team cap.was a mistake.
2. Most importantly, they desperately need a two way possession type third center, because Henrik is one dimensional(a great offensive talent) but can't play well against other teams top players. I suggested A. Vermette from CBJ - GMMG missed on him.Now I'm arguing fro B. Laitch -if they could get him out of Wsh, The Canucks must score ~3/G/gm for 25 games to win Cup. & the 2010 team WAS actually a better Scoring team than 2011. Av's idea of only a shut down third center is misguided like many of his ideas.
3. The Canucks are victims of their soft schedule & great goaltending & the Sedins def. weakness. Because they continue to have reg. season success there is not an incentive to return to their 2010 philosophy of pushing the puck/speed game which IMO is their only path to success.
To Summarize: they are two players away A third-line center who can also 2nd tour pk/pp (a mini-Kelser)
And a Top 2 D man to replace Ehrhoff - to run PP & improve Edler.(which now is unattainable due to Garrision mistake)
A change in philosophy from coach to play more up-tempo - which is not going to happen since he is having sucess in shutdown mode. In fact the numbers are falling to be equivalent to 2007 season.
I'm not convinced that the Canucks have regressed as much as you think they have. Are they as good as they were in 2010, probably not. But I don't believe that's from a lack of effort or a change in philosophy from team management. Good teams always lose players due to cap constraints; that's just an unavoidable side effect of being a successful team in a salary cap system.
I also think you might not be applying the right context to some of the conclusions you are drawing from your research. You wrote:
"From my research it IS a major concern that the Nucks are being outchanced.(regardless of 'score effects')."
Which is a valid concern, but then you say things like:
"The Canucks are victims of their soft schedule & great goaltending & the Sedins def. weakness. Because they continue to have reg. season success there is not an incentive to return to their 2010 philosophy of pushing the puck/speed game which IMO is their only path to success."
"A change in philosophy from coach to play more up-tempo - which is not going to happen since he is having sucess in shutdown mode. "
And while I share your concern about the Canucks being out chanced as regularly, I think your conclusions ignore the rather large role injuries have had in determining what type of style the Canucks play. It has been a rather long time since the team has been healthy and I believe it would look a lot more like the 2010 team if I was healthy.
Like you, I believe that the Canucks have holes to fill if they are realistically going to compete for the cup but I don't believe you can conclude from the past 12 months that there has been a change in the philosophy of the organization.
Thanks for your reply.
Fact: We agree that the Nux have moved from a team that out-chanced opp. to a team that is being out-chanced (in two year period). This IS regression.
So the question is Why?
You take the party line that injuries are the key component. Fair enough!
However, last year with a almost completely healthy team the Nux suffered the same drop in Poss#'s & scoring chances & PP eff. The Team itself admitted they changed the way they were playing? Not because of injuries because of emotional burnout? seriously? & this town bought it?
My point is they have lost their commitment to a style of play that dominated opponents.
They appear to be returning to a style that they played in 2007. The Twins even said last year its okay if we don't score & we can win 1-0 2-1 games. But all facts show you can't win a cup this way.
So when Kes & Booth get back we will see but the team needs to move from ~2.4 GF to ~3.2 GF/gm --- to be the type of team that can score 3.00/gm over 25 gms vs top comp. in playoffs.
I don't think its possible playing this conservative/defensive style & without replacing Ehrhoff & a third line center?
Thanks for the reply.
I am definitely not towing any party line and I'm not arguing with your #s but I think you are basing your conclusions on a really small sample size (about 100 games) where the Canucks were never really healthy.
The Canucks began last season with several significant injuries. Kesler admitted he came back too soon from his surgery and Raymond also missed significant time to start the season and never fully recovered from his surgery either. Also, Hamhuis and Malhotra were coming off surgeries where they couldn't properly train in the off-season. The Canucks were a pretty unhealthy team to start the season.
The Canucks were also a pretty unhealthy team at the end of the season as well. They had significant injuries to Edler and Kesler and Daniel missed 12 games with a concussion.
And then there are the injuries to Kesler and Booth to start this season.
I don't believe that making decisions only based on data and overlooking what is actually going on with the team will lead to correct conclusions. The data needs to be used in the correct context.
If the Canucks return to full health (or close to it) and continue to play in a conservative style then I think it would be fair to suggest that there might be a philosophic change in the organization. I, personally, don't think that Gillis (or Aquilini) wants to play a conservative style and I don't think Gillis would commit to a conservative style without trying everything possible (trades) to win with an up-tempo possession style first. I expect the Canucks will return to that style of play when they regain their health and (possibly) make a trade or two.
To answer your questions: No, I don't think the Canucks can win four playoff rounds playing a conservative style.
As for Ehrhoff, is he missed? Yes. Do I think they can win without him? Yes. I don't believe Ehrhoff is one of those irreplaceable players that the team can't do without. While it would have been nice to keep him I think the team as a whole can make up for him being lost to Buffalo.
I believe upgrading the 2C (a healthy Kesler?) and 3C (trade?) positions is more important.

Devils at Leafs
November 18 2010 11:52AM
7PM ET: Leafs TV
Being a Leafs fan since the lockout means that by now you've probably accepted a few things as fact:
1. If it's a Tuesday night game at home against the Southeast the Leafs will lose. Sometimes they'll get blown out. Sometimes they'll take sixty shots on net and lose 2-1 but they'll lose no matter what.
2. When the Leafs play a team that's slumping you watch the game with an army helmet on from your foxhole because there's a good chance the other team snaps out of it right before the first puck drop.
I'll admit it, I'm terrified of New Jersey tonight. They come in with a 5-11-2 record, and a worst in the East -26 goal differential. Think the Leafs are bad? Their goal differential is only -11.
Martin Brodeur (16GP .901SV%) will start this game across from Jonas Gustavsson (6GP .902SV%). The Devils are without Zach Parise and UFA prize Ilya Kovalchuk has only four goals tonight.
Will the Leafs build on their strong effort from the past two games or will they let the Devils' alarm clock go off and finally wake them up from their slumber? We'll find out soon.
The Leafs are officially ON FIRE.
The Leafs are officially ON FIRE.
Great game. Way to go leafs. Kessel looking in good form, Kadri with a couple apples. No complaints with that win here.

Toulouse returned to the top of Heineken Cup Pool Two on Saturday thanks to a 35-14 win over Treviso at Stade Ernest Wallon.
Toulouse returned to the top of Heineken Cup Pool Two on Saturday thanks to a 35-14 win over Treviso in wet conditions at Stade Ernest Wallon.
It was mission accomplished for Toulouse as they outscored their visitors five tries to one to claim a precious bonus-point.
The result means that the French club move two points clear of Leicester and sets up a massive showdown with Tigers at Welford Road next week.
The four-time champions didn't have it all their own way however and needed to find an extra gear in the second period after being held at 14-all at half time.
The hosts' formidable pack ultimately proved the undoing of Treviso, who were unable to match Toulouse's power at scrum time.
Treviso scrum-half Tobias Botes opened the scoring early on from the kicking tee but it didn't take Toulouse long to strike back as hooker Gary Botha scored from short range after a dart toward the line by Luke Burgess.
The Italian visitors were back in front just three minutes later though. Luke McAlister threw a wayward pass under pressure from Robert Barbieri and Andrea Pratichetti picked up the loose ball to bolt clear. Tommaso Benvenuti was up in support and showed the Toulouse defence a clean pair of heals to score.
The Treviso scrum was under massive pressure however and after series and resets and advantages played by referee Wayne Barnes, Toulouse lock Patricio Albacete crashed over under the sticks. McAlister added his second conversion to put the hosts up 14-11.
Toulouse were well on top but Botes landed a monster penalty on the stroke of half time to send the teams into the changing rooms all square.
Toulouse came out breathing fire in the second half and with an entirely new front row. The new faces emulated their team-mates' domination at scrum time though and Treviso prop Michele Rizzo paid the price, seeing yellow just minutes after coming on himself.
The hosts next try followed immediately thereafter as Vincent Clerc collected McAlsiter's cross-field kick to score untouched.
Florian Fritz was next to cross the line and claim the bonus point after a break by Albacete and a long pass wide from McAlister.
Yoann Huget added his named to the scorecard in the final minute with a long-range try.
The scorers:
For Toulouse:
Tries: Botha, Albacete, Clerc, Fritz, Huget
Cons: McAlister 5
Yellow card: Tolofua (72nd min – high tackle)
For Treviso:
Try: Benvenuti
Pens: Botes 3
Yellow card: Michele Rizzo (43rd min – scrum infringements)
Toulouse: 15 Clément Poitrenaud, 14 Vincent Clerc, 13 Florian Fritz, 12 Yannick Jauzion, 11 Yoann Huget, 10 Luke McAlister, 9 Luke Burgess, 8 Louis Picamoles , 7 Yannick Nyanga, 6 Grégory Lamboley, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Romain Millo-Chluski, 3 Census Johnston, 2 Gary Botha, 1 Vasil Kakovin.
Replacements: 16 Christopher Tolofua, 17 Gurthro Steenkamp, 18 Yohan Montes, 19 Yoann Maestri, 20 Sylvain Nicolas, 21 Jean-Marc Doussain, 22 Maxime Médard, 23 Gaël Fickou.
Treviso: 15 Giiulio Toniolatti, 14 Ludovico Nitoglia, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Andrea Pratichetti, 11 Tommaso Iannone, 10 Luca Morisi, 9 Tobias Botes, 8 Robert Barbieri, 7 Dean Budd, 6 Paul Derbyshire, 5 Valerio Bernabo, 4 Antonio Pavanello, 3 Alberto de Marchi, 2 Enrico Ceccato, 1 Matteo Muccignat.

Reuters takes a look at the subject Wednesday:
Fidelity's $16 billion Magellan Fund (FMAGX) plans to distribute capital gains of $5.52 a share in 2013. That is up from just 2 cents a share in 2012, according to fund disclosures. So far in 2013, the fund is up 32 percent.
Boston-based Fidelity, the No. 2 U.S. mutual fund company, said it is difficult to broadly characterize distributions from funds. But many Fidelity stock funds will distribute gains to investors this year, Fidelity spokesman Charlie Keller said.
Shareholders, except for those in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k) plans, are required to pay taxes on the distributions, regardless of whether they are paid out in cash or reinvested in more shares. Short-term capital gains are taxed at ordinary income tax rates while long-term gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 20 percent.

Market check: A few weeks back, nobody was worried about the shutdown in D.C. Fast forward to Monday morning. Dow futures are dropping 112 and the S&P 500′s are down about 0.8%, after two straight weeks of declines for both stock indexes. Both indexes are inches away from their all-time high (3.8% for the Dow and 2% for the S&P), which was set about three weeks ago. "Despite all the wagging Washington tongues, the market is holding up very well. In fact, gold prices have declined and the yield on the benchmark 10-year treasury has also modestly declined," writes Piper Jaffray technician Craig Johnson this morning. "If investors were seriously worried about a U.S. default U.S. treasury yields would be rising along with gold."
Fund watch: JPMorgan Asset Management reportedly plans to cut 100 of 650 actively managed mutual funds across the U.S. and Asia — that's according to Ellen Kelleher of the Financial Times. From Kelleher: "George Gatch, chief executive of the bank's global funds management business, says: 'There has been a proliferation of mutual funds around the world and I think it's sensible for us to try to simplify our line-up. With hindsight, I can say that, over the years, some of our strategies and product launches have not been done in a thoughtful way. So, we are going back and making sure our product line makes sense.'"
In the news: The new hedge fund operated by Bruce Berkowitz of Fairholme Capital Management will open to institutional investors, according to Juliet Chung of the Wall Street Journal.
In case you missed it: A bet by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) – lending more than $4 billion to Mars to buy Wrigley — is paying off nicely.
