Monomax XL (isosorbide mononitrate)
Monomax XL tablets contain the active ingredient isosorbide mononitrate, which is a type of medicine called a nitrate. It is used to help the heart work more easily.
What is it used for?
- Prevention of angina attacks.
How does it work?
Monomax XL tablets contain the active ingredient isosorbide mononitrate, which is a type of medicine called a nitrate. It is used to help the heart work more easily.
Isosorbide mononitrate works by being converted in the body to a chemical called nitric oxide. This chemical is made naturally by the body and has the effect of making the veins and arteries relax and widen (dilate). When the blood vessels dilate in this way there is more space inside them and hence less resistance. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
Widening the veins also decreases the volume of blood that returns to the heart with each heartbeat. This makes it easier for the heart to pump that blood out again.
As a result of both these actions, the heart does not need as much energy to pump the blood around the body and therefore needs less oxygen.
Isosorbide mononitrate also widens the arteries within the heart itself, which increases the blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
The pain of angina is caused by too little oxygen reaching the heart when its workload increases, such as during exercise. Isosorbide mononitrate improves the oxygen supply to the heart, as well as decreasing the amount of oxygen that the heart needs by making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. It can therefore be used to treat angina.
Monomax XL tablets are modified release tablets that are taken on a regular basis to help prevent angina attacks. The tablets are designed to release the medicine slowly as it passes through the gut. They are taken once a day, usually in the morning, to provide steady blood levels of the medicine throughout the day. The tablets must be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed, as this would damage the modified release action.
- This medicine should not be used to treat an angina attack, as it does not work quickly enough. It should be taken regularly, as prescribed, to prevent angina attacks, and you should keep your glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) sublingual tablets or spray with you at all times to use if you do have an angina attack.
- This medicine may cause dizziness and so may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you and you are sure it won't affect your performance.
- Drinking alcohol may enhance some of the side effects of this medicine, such as feeling faint or dizzy.
- If you think that this medicine has become less effective at preventing angina attacks you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.
- You should not suddenly stop taking this medicine, as this could cause your angina to get worse. If treatment with this medicine is stopped, this should be done gradually, following the instructions given by your doctor.
Use with caution in
- Severely decreased kidney function.
- Severely decreased liver function.
- People who have recently had a heart attack.
- Underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
- People with low levels of oxygen in their blood, eg due to lung disease.
- Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia).
- Malnutrition.
Not to be used in
- Allergy to nitrates.
- Low blood pressure (hypotension).
- Low volume of circulating blood (hypovolaemia).
- Inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart that stops the heart from beating properly (constrictive pericarditis).
- Fluid in the sac surrounding the heart that prevents the heart beating properly (cardiac tamponade).
- Narrowing of the main artery coming from the heart (aortic stenosis).
- Narrowing of one of the valves in the heart (mitral valve stenosis).
- Heart disease in which the muscle of the heart grows abnormally (hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy).
- Head injury.
- Bleeding in the brain (cerebral haemorrhage).
- Severe anaemia.
- Closed angle glaucoma.
- This medicine is not recommended for use in children.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.
If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
- The safety of this medicine for use during pregnancy has not been established. It should only be used during pregnancy if the benefits to the mother outweigh any risks to the developing baby. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
- It is not known if this medicine passes into breast milk. It should only be used by breastfeeding mothers if the benefits to the mother outweigh any risks to the nursing infant. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
Label warnings
- This medication is to be swallowed whole, not chewed.
Side effects
Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
- Weakness.
- Nausea.
- Flushing.
- A drop in blood pressure that occurs when moving from a lying down or sitting position to sitting or standing, which results in dizziness and lightheadedness (postural hypotension).
- Increased heart rate (tachycardia).
- Decreased heart rate (bradycardia).
- Allergic skin reactions.
- Fainting.
The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the drug's manufacturer.
For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How can this medicine affect other medicines?
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while using this one, to ensure that the combination is safe.
The medicines for erectile dysfunction (impotence) listed below must not be used by people taking isosorbide mononitrate, because the combination can produce a severe drop in blood pressure resulting in dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack:
- sildenafil (Viagra)
- tadalafil (Cialis)
- vardenafil (Levitra).
If this medicine is used in combination with other medicines that reduce blood pressure, either as a treatment for high blood pressure (antihypertensives), or as a side effect, there may be an enhanced blood pressure lowering effect. This might make some people feel dizzy. If you do feel dizzy, you should lie down until the symptoms pass. Other medicines that can reduce blood pressure include the following:
- ACE inhibitors, eg enalapril, captopril

Hey guys,
Many of us loyally read naruto chapters every week. But at the same time some of us are quite busy, for example i got school (university), work and so on, thus have little time. When my favorite manga Naruto goes on break, i would like to know about it, instead of checking every day if the new chapter is up. So i though of starting a new thread where users who have knowledge of the situation of the current week to inform the rest of us if Naruto is on break this week.Also since i started this new thread, why not include the anime?
So i would like whoever who has knowledge of the situation any given week, to post here if the manga or anime is going on break and if so, please list for how long if you know so. Same for the anime!
Also i would like comment on the thread, like do you find it useful? If so i would (or someone else can) start one for Bleach!
Thank you for your cooperation,

Halloween is most dangerous day of year for petsHOMEAll holidays pose special hazards for pets, but Halloween is by far the most dangerous one of the year, and parents need to be vigilant about keeping their dogs and cats safe, animal welfare experts warn.More dogs die or stray during Halloween than any other holiday, according to Liam Crowe, a dog behavioral therapist and CEO of Bark Busters USA, which has 250 franchises nationwide.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.For more details and to order, go to theMySetterSam E-storeAlso find The Hunt of Her Life on:Facebook/thehuntofherlife----------------------------------------------------------------------Story continues here�Halloween is intended to scare and startle us - making it a spooky holiday for dogs, too," he states in a media release. "By being more sensitive to dogs� fear-driven �fight or flight� instincts, we can help keep our furry friends safe this Halloween.�Mr. Crow advises bringing dogs indoors and putting them in a separate room where they cannot be harmed, overwhelmed by children in costumes or frightened by all the trick-or-treating activity. A timid, scared or excited dog may dash out the front door, so placing a pet in a quiet, separate room will limit his excitement, aggression and chance of running outside and getting lost or injured.Pet parents should also reassure their dogs that all is well by simply acting as normal as possible, Mr. Crowe said. Too much reassuring or extra attention may actually make a dog worry that something abnormal is happening, causing a pet to become more frightened.Mr. Crowe also suggests getting your dog familiar with Halloween costumes or he could regard family members as strangers when they are dressed up. Allow your dog to smell the costumes before the children put them on and keep masks off when the dog is present.Mr. Crowe discourages pet parents from dressing their dogs in costumes. Some dogs do enjoy being dressed up but many dislike it, so a pet parent should experiment to see if their dog likes being in a costume. If a dog shows resistance, simply tie a fun bandanna around his neck instead.Pet parents also should be aware of potential poisoning from sweets and other hazards during the Halloween season, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals warns."Many of our favorite Halloween traditions could pose a potential threat to our companion animals," Steven Hansen, a veterinary toxicologist and official at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, states in a media release. "So as you start to make plans for trick-or-treating or Halloween costumes, pet parents should be aware of Halloween-related products and activities that can be potentially dangerous to pets."According to the ASPCA, Halloween hazards include:
- Sweets. Several treats are toxic to pets. Candy containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can be poisonous to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol sweetener can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, which leads to depression, lack of coordination and seizures. Chocolate, especially baker�s and dark chocolate, can be potentially poisonous to animals, especially dogs, and can cause liver damage. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity and increased thirst, urination and heart rate and even seizures.
- Wrappers. Cats especially love to play with candy wrappers, but ingesting aluminum foil or cellophane can cause intestinal blockage and induce vomiting.
- Trick-or-treating. During trick-or-treating hours, keep pets in a room away from your front door to avoid having them run out. Pets should wear a collar with tags and be microchipped.
- Costumes. They can present a suffocation hazard. If you dress up your pet for Halloween, make sure the costume does not limit its movement, hearing, sight or ability to breathe or bark. Also check the costume for choking hazards. A simple, festive Halloween bandanna is a smart alternative to dressing your pet from head to paw.
- Decorations. Avoid putting candles in jack-o-lanterns. Pets can knock over them over and start a fire. Also, make sure pets have no access to wires and cords from holiday decorations. If chewed, a wire can damage a pet�s mouth from shards of glass or plastic, or deliver a life-threatening electrical shock.Related report:If a pet accidentally ingests a potentially harmful product, the ASPCA advises pet parents to immediately consult with a veterinarian or call the ASPCA�s Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435.For pets,Halloween is time for bizarre injuriesReports about dogs, poison and safety:Grapes, mushrooms, pot are leading pet poisonsPet collars, bowls, beds, toys laced with toxinsPet poisons bloom everywhereProtect your pet from accidental poisoningKnowing signs of poison could save your dog's lifePeople medications cause most pet poisoningsReports about dogs, food and safetyToxic levels of chemical found in dog foodsChocolate, candies mean danger for dogsReports about dogs and safety:In emergency, your pet's survival depends on youNo ID means death for 800,000 pets a yearPet theft problem running rampantPets capable of swallowing strange objectsWays to keep pets safe in storms, disastersKeep pets safe from summertime dangersProtect your pet from hazards in your homeMore reports about dogs and safetyReports about dogs, behavior and safetyDogs always mouth off before they biteDogs feel no guilt about misbehavingHey dummy, your dog's smarter than you thinkA place where fun can quickly erupt into fightingA dog's behavior, manners start with youCrazy pet behavior booms with fireworksTHE RUFF REPORTSo easy to read.

michael wrote:What may explain the queasiness your feel after drinking tea? The likely culprit is caffeine. Having the enviable task of sampling every tea selected for sale at Adagio, I often time consume more than 20 cups a day. I find that doing this with white or green varieties, which are low in caffeine, suits my stomach better than doing the same with black tea. So if queasiness continues to be an issue, I suggest forgoing black tea, and opting for those that are either lower or devoid of caffeine.
Just thought I'd follow up on this topic.
I started buying certified organic Silver Needles (nothing against the tea here, I found it to be delicious..... I just wanted to see if it made any difference.) As it turned out I experience the same sensation with the certified organic stuff as I did months and months ago with the stuff from here. I tend to use more white tea than is recommended for steeping (usually double the amount,) and I tend to steep it for longer. It's just how I prefer the taste.
This leads me to believe that even the slight, slight amount of caffeeine or something else inherent in the tea is causing my occasional queasiness. I don't really eat much throughout the day, and usually when I have a cup it's on an empty stomach.... when I drink it when I'm eating something I don't have the problem.

Virgin Australia Flies in Youth Market to Land Dream Job05/03/2013
Virgin Australia and Tourism Australia today announced their first major campaign since significantly expanding their marketing partnership late last year.
Tourism Australia announced today it is teaming up with Virgin Australia as well as a number of industry and tourism partners in a new A$4 million campaign targeting the international youth market - a segment which last year contributed nearly A$12 billion in tourism spending and a quarter of all Australia's international visitors.
At the heart of the campaign is a global competition involving six of Australia's State and Territory Tourism Organisations - each offering their own unique "Best Job in the World" as a winning prize.
Virgin Australia will play a major role in the initiative, using its extensive domestic and international network in conjunction with its airline partners to fly the nominees and winners to land their dream jobs in six key states across Australia.
Virgin Australia Chief Customer Officer Mark Hassell said: "As a proud Australian airline, we are committed to promoting our country at home and abroad as a world-class destination for work and leisure.
"This is a great initiative for us to promote some of the incredible destinations around Australia to which we fly every day.
"With six great jobs on offer, we look forward to flying in the top candidates on our extensive international network to land their dream job. We look forward to welcoming them on board soon", Mr Hassell said.
Virgin Australia and Tourism Australia entered a Memorandum of Understanding in May 2012 with the intention to collectively spend A$6 million over three years. In December 2012 the two partners varied their MOU by doubling their intended cooperative marketing budget to A$12 million over three years.
The partnership focuses on marketing across traditional and digital media platforms as well as event and sponsorship activities to key markets including the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia.

How do you distinguish yourself from other denim wearers? Well, if you're Brandon Svarc, founder of the Canadian brand Naked & Famous, you make jeans that glow in the dark. Or that smell like fruit. Or the heaviest jeans in the world. The 29-year-old is like the Heston Blumenthal of the denim world—he's driven by discovering new sensations, and while most of us are content with the selection of quality jeans available at MenswearUK, not so for Mr Svarc. "If I get feedback that someone says they hate it, I know someone else is going to think it's the greatest thing they've ever seen," he told Fox News.
His latest creations, scratch-and-sniff jeans that smells like raspberries ($150/£93) or his 32oz jeans—three times the weight of a normal pair ($495/£307)—reportedly the heaviest jeans in the world, are capable of standing upright on their own. Why would anybody wear these jeans, you may ask. "I find that human beings are fascinated by anything that is a superlative," says Svarc on his website. "Well, these jeans are my denim superlative."

that does not have the power of a chidori.. that thing can just cut.. is a blade.. but not a chidori attack or a raikiri.. not saying sasuke cant use a raikiri just saying the jutsus are different
nah.. is a lightning blade... wtf... did sasuke become a Jedi? lol
but chidori and raikiri have more power than that blade... but that blade can cut thou..
in my opinion you guys that say chidori and raikiri are different are just blantantly making stuff up without NOTHING To back it up from the manga. Me and that other guy showed u the actual pages from the manga that says "CHIDORI IS THE REAL NAME OF THE TECHNIQUE CALLED RAIKIRI"
and also he showed the HAND SEALS for Raikiri AND Chidori and they are EXACTLY THE SAME.
It's the same stupid technique stop making up stuff without proof, that just annoys me.
Its like me saying "oh yeah Shikamaru and Shino are siblings" what do i have to support this? Oh they both have black hair so everyone in konoha with black hair are siblings. It's just something that I have absolutely no way of proving just like you guys cant bring out actual manga pages that proof ur so called theory.
Ignore the manga if you will but you have 2 solid pages of PROOF that
Chidori = Raikiri in EVERY WAY.
You should quit it, its mostly a waste o time proving something.
As for the rest, read the first image he posted then you'll realize what he's proving.
idiots... SMH...
K-oz, why waste you time with ignorant kids? you proved your point, let these guys continue looking foolish by themselves.
i dunno if im allowed to say it in forums, but im allergic to "bullshit" lol and its about 2 of ma top 3 fav characters so it just annoys me, how they come up with theories that have nothing to back it up watsoever.
Specially when they clearly have 2 undeniable pieces of evidence infront of them.
(I was very active in the law program in high school *shrugs*)
But u guys are right it's not worth debating the point has been proven if they want to keep making up their own *ish* good for them. Those that are able to read will notice that it's the same technique as told in the manga itself directly.
*throws in towel*

The season starts in Melbourne between two teams who seem to be generating a real rivalry despite the Rebels' short existence.
The 2013 Super Rugby season kicks off in Melbourne between two teams who seem to be generating an authentic rivalry despite the short existence of the Rebels.
In four games to date, the Rebels lead their head to head 3-1. They beat the Force twice last year, in two nail biting encounters. These sides are so close that if one totalled the scores of their four games, the aggregate scores would be 112 points each.
The Rebels form has improved on last season, if the 2013 trials are anything to go by. They ran with the Waratahs only to concede a try in the 81st minute to go down 24-16. They also lost to the Hurricanes 47-45 in an entertaining display of rugby from both sides.
The Western Force lost a narrow encounter to the Brumbies in their first pre-season game. They fought back from a 14-point deficit to almost snatch a victory only to go down 20-18. They won their second trial emphatically; a 46-0 obliteration of an invitational Tongan XV.
Going into the first game of the new season, there will be several variables. The most important will be team cohesion in general play and the set piece.
Both these sides have had a high turnover in the off season, so the first to gel under pressure may come out on top.
Secondly will be the issue of defence. The Rebels have let through 11 tries in two games and been labelled turnstiles in defence. The Force kept the Tongans try-less and conceded only two against the Brumbies.
Neither team had listed their squads at the time of writing but some inferences can be made from injuries. The Force will be missing first choice hooker Ben Whittaker, which forced them to sign former Rebel Heath Tessman.
Aside from Whittaker, no other major injuries have come to light to suggest the Force will go into Round One at almost full strength. The Rebels are missing outside backs Cooper Vuna (shoulder) and Jason Woodward (finger), would both have been likely in the matchday 22 if fit. Scott Higginbotham (shoulder) and O'Connor who received 18 stitches in his lip after receiving an errant boot in the face against the Highlanders should both be available.
Last Encounter: Rebels won 32-31
Key Battle: Kurtley Beale v Sam Christie. The Rebels have prospered when Beale moved up the field to fly-half. He attacks the advantage line with pace and draws his receivers into the gaps with his longer passes. Christie is an unknown quantity at this level after joining from Waikato. The former New Zealand Schools representative will have plenty to prove in his competitive debut for the Force and will want to nail down his place in the starting XV as South African pivot Sias Ebersohn – who is on the replacements bench – is breathing down his neck. The game may come down to who can who can get the better when running with the ball in hand.
Prediction: The Rebels have a clear edge both psychologically and historically but both are sporting new squads this year so history can't be a factor. The Rebels will be without two of their preferred outside backs while the Force have come through the pre-season intact. The difference may come to down to the stiff preparation the Rebels had against the Waratahs and the Hurricanes. The Force's choice to fine-tune against an invitational 15 from a second tier nation could come back to haunt them. Rebels to win by 5.
The teams:
Melbourne Rebels: 15 James O'Connor, 14 Lachlan Mitchell, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Rory Sidey, 11 Richard Kingi, 10 Kurtley Beale, 9 Nic Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Scott Fuglistaller, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 Luke Jones, 4 Hugh Pyle, 3 Laurie Weeks, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson.
Replacements: 16 Shota Horie, 17 Paul Alo Emile, 18 Cadeyrn Neville, 19 Jarrod Saffy, 20 Nick Stirzaker, 21 Alex Rokobaro, 22 Tom English.
Western Force: 15 Will Tupou, 14 Patrick Dellit, 13 Winston Stanley, 12 Kyle Godwin, 11 Alfie Mafi, 10 Sam Christie, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Angus Cottrell, 5 Toby Lynn, 4 Sam Wykes, 3 Tetera Faulkner, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Pek Cowan (c).
Replacements: 16 Heath Tessmann, 17 Kieran Longbottom, 18 Phoenix Battye, 19 Richard Brown, 20 Mick Snowden, 21 Sias Ebersohn, 22 Junior Rasolea.
Referee: Angus Gardner

In two days it is package-evening here. This is the end of the Sinterklaashttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas period.
Grown ups often write poems to each other(that are supposed to be from Sinterklaas) to accompany the gift. The poem is meant to be nice. It can be a bit teasing(about someones bad habits,) but not mean. You select who you buy the gift by drawing names. I did this on a Dutch forum I am on. I received a package and send one out to someone else. Tonight we will open the gifts at 21:00 and I am very curious about the poem I got and about what's in the package.
A rough(clipped and altered) translation of a Sinterklaas poem by me. It runs smoother in Dutch(I promise)
Dear Krista,
Sinterklaas was in thoughts
about a present that Krista would like lots
She had turned 30 this year
and at the thought of her advanced age Sinterklaas wiped a tear
Piet said she still liked to have fun
even though another fase of her life had begun
she was now a mother of two
but her big mouth had stayed too.
She is used to getting her way
but in all honesty Sint had to say
that she was still a sweet child at heart
A fine woman, strong and smart.
Sinterklaas had no idea what to buy
for a woman that catches the eye
She is a real lady with a bold streak
streetwise, but also quite chique.
Piet suggested something to make her beautiful
that would be something useful.
Sinterklaas agreed with the smart piet
that would be a good present indeed.
So dear Krista, my child
stop letting your thoughts run wild
Here is the present I spoke about
You deserve it, no doubt.
Sint & Piet

UAlbany Basketball Teams Advance to America East Conference Championship Games
Women will host Hartford at SEFCU Arena on Saturday, March 16 at 7 p.m.;
Men travel March 16 to Vermont for 11:30 a.m. matchup
Senior guard Lindsey Lowrie scored 18 points to lead the Great Danes into the America East Conference championship game for the second straight season.
Lindsey Lowrie scored a game-high 18 points, while Julie Forster recorded her 30th career double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds, leading top-seeded UAlbany to a 71-57 win over New Hampshire in the second America East Conference Women's Basketball Semifinal on Sunday afternoon at SEFCU Arena. The Great Danes, who improve to 26-3 on the season, advance to their second straight league championship game, and will face second-seeded Hartford on Saturday, March 16, at 7 p.m. at SEFCU Arena. The women's game will be televised on ESPN3 and Fox College Sports.
The men's basketball team edged top-seeded Stony Brook 61-59 at SEFCU on Sunday evening, earning a trip to Vermont for the America East championship game on Saturday, March 16 at 11:30 a.m. The men's game will be televised on ESPN2.
"We held in the first half, and we stayed focused," said UAlbany head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, who has now guided the Great Danes to their second straight America East Championship appearance. "We just wanted to stick together. It's about sticking together, and that's what we did today."

UAlbany also got double-figure scoring totals from Henry with 13, and Richards with 11. New Hampshire outshot the Great Danes, connecting on 44.0 percent (22-50) of their shots. However, UAlbany scored 20 points off turnovers, as the Wildcats gave up the ball 20 times.
"I just wanted to win, really bad," said Lowrie, who earned her first all-conference recognition this season as a third team selection. "I didn't want this to be my last game. And that's what went through my head the entire game."
In the men's game, UAlbany senior guard Mike Black did what he does best, hitting a last-second shot to push the Great Danes past Stony Brook, 61-59, in the America East Semifinals at SEFCU Arena. The 23 wins this season ties a Division I program record for most wins in a season.
This is the first time in four years that UAlbany was able to defeat Stony Brook in the conference tournament, as the Seawolves bounced the Great Danes in the previous three meetings, including last season's last-second tip-in.
The tandem of Mike Black (16 points) and Jacob Iati (14 points) paced their squad, scoring a combined 30 of the team's 61 points. Before fouling out, sophomore forward Sam Rowley recorded five points, 11 rebounds, and two blocks on the night.comments powered by Disqus

The Role of 311 Nonemergency Systems in Emergencies
With hurricane season in full swing, cities and counties across the nation, especially those with histories of finding themselves in hurricanes' paths, are preparing. They are preparing public notification plans, stockpiling resources, and revisiting Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP). For some jurisdictions, 311 nonemergency systems1 have become a key component of their emergency planning.
Whereas 311 systems traditionally have been used to report incidents where the immediate presence of a police officer is not required, such as crimes no longer in-progress or quality-of-life problems,2 311 systems are increasingly being used to support emergency operations.3 For example, during emergencies, callers can dial 311 (in jurisdictions that have established 311 systems) to receive up-to-date information on road and building closures, evacuation routes, and shelter locations. By diverting nonemergency calls from busy 911 systems before, during, and after emergencies, 311 systems help ensure that first responders remain available to respond to situations that are immediately life-threatening.
On March 26, 2009, the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and the COPS Office cohosted a conference call on 311 and Emergency Response, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The call's participants included representatives from jurisdictions experienced in using 311 systems: Riverside (California), Orange County (Florida), Minneapolis (Minnesota), Houston (Texas), and Hampton (Virginia).4 A representative from the Federal Emergency Management A gency (FEMA) also participated in the call.
Much of the call focused on how each jurisdiction used its 311 systems to address disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and bridge collapses. The conference call highlights which follow illustrate, as the official from Houston stated, "the complexities and possibilities of 311."
Information Sharing. 311 systems can represent the first line of communication between citizens and their government. Citizens can call 311 systems to receive up-to-date information on impending emergencies, such as hurricanes, receive guidance on how to shelter in place, where to locate sandbags, and learn about expected flood zones, evacuation routes, and locations of the nearest evacuation centers. 311 call takers can also provide controls on information 'rumor mills' that can often accompany emergency situations.5
The Hampton (Virginia) participant noted that because its citizens had been used to calling the 311 number in their day-to-day lives, they were more likely to use it during times of emergency. This experience was in stark contrast to the earlier experience of Hampton officials when they rolled out a 10-digit public information telephone number, which was published only during disaster-type events. Citizens did not know what number to call and the inconsistency, caused by the unpublished public information line telephone number, added to the confusion.
911 system backup. Jurisdictions that house 311 systems in a separate facility will often equip them with the wiring, hardware, and software that enable 911 capabilities and allow the center to handle an overflow of 911 calls. These 311 call centers can also serve as a backup should 911 system capabilities be compromised.
Planning. Conference call participants reported incorporating the use of 311 systems into their emergency operations plans and/or COOPs.
Public safety support. During Hurricane Rita, Hurricane Ike, and then again in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Houston 311 systems relieved 911 systems from handling nonemergency calls, resulting in first responders remaining free to handle life-threatening situations. Houston credited its 311 system with providing police and fire department personnel the necessary time they needed to block off flooded roads so that drivers would not accidentally drive through them.
911 system support. During Hurricane Rita, Houston 311 call takers answered more than 100,000 calls in a period of 3 to 4 days. The effectiveness of the 911 system could have been severely impaired, had it needed to respond to these calls in addition to the average 911 call volume.
24/7 government access. In their discussion of the I-35W Bridge Collapse of August 1, 2007, Minneapolis participants noted that the incident occurred at 6:05 p.m., a time when the majority of government service agencies were closed. By default, the 311 Center became the gathering point for media and citizen requests for information. The 311 Center's television monitors also allowed staff to collect real-time information on emergency operations, and anticipate questions they were likely to receive, and quickly develop and disseminate responses to the public.
EOC operations support. Since all 311 calls in Minneapolis are recorded, 311 Center staff could send incident-related .wave files to Emergency Operations Center (EOC) personnel. 311 Center staff were also able to give information to EOC staff on citizen travel routes and gathering locations, as well as Red Cross supplies and personnel distribution locations.
Evacuations. Citizens can call 311 to request an evacuation or information on evacuation efforts. During Hurricane Ike, Houston transferred the information from 311 calls taken from bedridden citizens to the Emergency Management Center. The Center could then arrange for a special transport device that would allow these citizens to lie down during evacuation, rather than devices requiring them to sit up.
Resource allocation. Conference call participants noted the utility of 311 mapping applications, often linked to call tracking data via Citizen Relationship Management (CRM) software,6 to identify patterns among locations generating 311 calls. Sharing this information with municipal service agencies improved resource allocation decision-making processes.
For example, because the Orange County Utilities and Public Works agencies were linked to one coordinated 311 center, information could be shared quickly and resources could be deployed efficiently. Location information generated by 311 call-tracking data could also be compiled and shared with FEMA personnel, assisting their response and recovery efforts.
Public safety support. Orange County Sheriff's Office staff used their secure laptops to access the 311 system and electronically report the nature and location of a nonemergency incident directly to the 311 call system. For example, when downed trees blocked routes used for emergency vehicles, officers could log in a 311 request for tree removal from their laptops, which would then be sent to the Public Works field operations center. Public Works would dispatch a vehicle immediately and remove the tree, allowing emergency vehicles to enter the area and provide public safety services to persons in need.
Housing. When Hurricane Katrina left thousands of citizens from neighboring jurisdictions homeless, Houston 311 was the number to call for help with housing issues. 311 became a housing hot line for persons either wanting to temporarily relocate to Houston or wanting to make Houston their permanent home and needed information on how to establish residency.
Orange County officials noted how their call takers provided information on available shelters and where to locate tarps to shield property from further environmental damage.
Volunteer coordination. Riverside participants reported using 311 to coordinate volunteer activities during the Southern California wildfires of 2007. They would receive calls such as "I have five generators in my basement. Do you need these?" Even the EOC staff would call 311 to ask "What volunteers are available? Where are they located?"
Donation coordination. Orange County reported that citizens or even businesses, would want to donate items, but would not know where to donate them. They would often drop them off at a random street, adding to the chaos. In addition, despite good intentions, these donated items were often not needed and only added to the items that needed to be removed and disposed. Orange County now uses its 311 system as a donation call center. Call takers can provide information about the specific types of donations that are needed, and help coordinate the acceptance process and delivery locations of these donations.
Cleanup. Orange County reported using 311 as a public information line for citizens to report debris or downed trees and electrical wires. They could also receive information on where to pick up cleaning supplies and where to drop off debris.
Conference call participants had several recommendations for agencies seeking to use 311 to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery:
- Visit established 311 sites to learn from those who have already been there. Be sure to bring along a person with decision-making power such as a city or county executive.
- Integrate 311 into EOC standard operating procedures, emergency operations plans, and COOPs.
- Ensure the 311 system includes robust CRM software with a GIS mapping interface.
- Educate participating municipal service agencies on the benefits of participating in a 311 system.
- Create a culture where agencies consider 311 in their emergency preparedness, response, and recovery plans.
- Recognize and plan for the differences in staffing and financial resource needs among 311 and 911 systems. Following a disaster, 911 systems may resume normal operations more quickly than 311 systems because of the difference in the types of calls handled. 311 calls can remain at high levels because they are driven by conditions that tend to persist long after the height of an emergency has passed (e.g., calls regarding resources (batteries, ice, tarps), debris pickup, cleanup supplies).

ACU sweeps Kingsville to take 3-0 series lead
KINGSVILLE, Texas - A pair of strong starting pitching performances from Carter Hahn and Aaron Lambrix on Saturday propelled ACU to a doubleheader sweep of No. 10 Texas A&M-Kingsville in Lone Star Conference baseball action at Nolan Ryan Field.
Hahn went six strong innings in the first game to help ACU to a 3-2 win, and then Lambrix fired a complete-game one-hitter at the Javelinas in a 4-0 shutout win. The two victories push ACU to 18-10 overall and 6-1 in league play, while the Javelinas fall to to 19-8 and 3-4. The team will compete their four-game set Sunday with a single game at 1 p.m.
In the nightcap of the doubleheader, Lambrix was brilliant as he retired the first nine batters he faced before giving up a leadoff double to Ben Villafuerte in the fourth inning. After a two-out walk to Matt Perez put runners at first and second, Lambrix got Cash Barker to fly out to end the inning.
That fly ball out was the start of a string of 10 straight batters Lambrix retired to end the game. Lambrix (3-2 on the season) struck out five Javelins and threw just 79 pitches.
ACU got two runs in the first inning when Rodge Macy delivered a single to center that drove in Tyler Eager and Seth Spivey. The Wildcats tacked on another run in the third inning when Kyle Conwell singled and Kyle Giusti walked with two outs. Chuck Duarte then drove the first pitch he saw into center to drive in Conwell and push the ACU lead to 3-0.
Duarte drove in an insurance run in the fifth inning when his two-out single to center drove in Conwell to make it 4-0.
In the first game, Eager had four hits and drove in a run and Hahn went six strong innings to pick up the win and improve to 4-2 on the year as the Wildcats topped the Javelinas, 3-2.
Hahn allowed just four hits and two runs -- single runs in the first and third innings -- on his way to picking up the victory. Hahn threw 100 pitches in six innings and struck out seven Javelinas. He retired the last 10 straight batters he faced from the end of the third through the sixth inning.
Brady Rodriguez then came in and retired the side in order in the seventh to record his fifth save.
ACU got out to a quick 2-0 lead with two runs in the first. Spivey and Eager led off with back-to-back singles before Travis Schuetze -- hitting .406 on the season entering the game -- continued his torrid pace with an RBI single to drive in Spivey. With two outs, Giusti drove in Eager to make it 2-0.
After Kingsville scored in the bottom of the first to cut the Wildcat lead to 2-1, the Wildcats got the run back in the second when Eager singled to center to drive in Chuck Duarte to make it 3-1. Kingsville got to within 3-2 with a run in the third, but after that run scored, the final 13 Javelinas of the game were retired in order as the Wildcats escaped with the win in the first game of the doubleheader.

With the Six Nations closing in fast, Planet Rugby brings you a preview of the upcoming battle for northern hemisphere supremacy.
With the Six Nations Championship closing in, Planet Rugby brings you our preview of this year's battle for northern hemisphere supremacy.
So much has happened since Wales claimed the Grand Slam in 2012, which is highlighted by the fact Rob Howley's side are fourth favourites for glory. Without their head coach Warren Gatland due to British & Irish Lions planning, the Welsh are trying to claw their way out of a dismal run.
Speaking of the Lions, that selection carrot for the pinnacle in any rugby player above the equator's career is also just around the corner so several internationalists from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will undoubtedly – though they may say otherwise – have that in the back of their minds.
England and Ireland, at the moment, are set to feature most heavily in the squad but if Wales can recapture last season's form then their stars will be on the plane. Big pressure will be on captain Sam Warburton while fly-half Dan Biggar could not ask for a better opportunity to impress.
Ireland host England in Round Two in a game that should decide who will be challenging France for the title. Declan Kidney's line-up this weekend has a good blend of youth and experience as wings Craig Gilroy and Simon Zebo start while England host Scotland.
Scotland have nothing to lose in the campaign, with the exit of Andy Robinson leading to a new era under Scott Johnson. The interim coach has already made a few alterations in selection as Greig Laidlaw shifts from 9 to 10 and there is a return to 8 for Johnnie Beattie.
Last but not least, Italy go into the Championship with an opening game at home to France. How they would love to start with a repeat of their 22-21 triumph over Les Bleus at the Stadio Flaminio a couple of years ago. But with France looking strong, we're backing them in 2013.

The 2011 NHl Entry Draft - A Travellers Notes
Kent Wilson
June 27 2011 03:59PM
(While I usually restrict my writing to objective analysis and editorials aimed at hockey ops, this post is a thorough and detailed recounting of my time at the NHL entry draft this past weekend. It's is therefore very long. Fair warning.)
My trek to the 2011 NHL entry draft began on Thursday afternoon. Mindful of the time consuming architecture of security measures erected in the wake of September 11, I got to the airport some two hours early so I could be poked, prodded, un-belted, de-shoed and properly papered in order to board the plane on time.
My part in the security theater was well played and I went through customs and such without incident. I settled in near my departure gate and, with a more than a few minutes to spare, I checked in on twitter and email largely as means to kill time more than anything else. My first taste of the frenzy quickly ensued. First, I did a short phone interview with Todd Vaughan of Calgary Metro News. Then, The Regehr rumor, the Smyth rumor and the Carter and Richards trades all broke in rapid succession.
My smart phone, as fancy as it is, was a poor tool for following the chatter, so I switched to awkwardly balancing my laptop (appropriately enough) on my lap in the increasingly crowded departure area. YYC airport has free wireless fortunately enough, so the remainder of my wait was spent exchanging monosyllabic expressions of surprise with commenters and followers in various forms.
The distraction was in part inconvenient given the circumstances but also welcome since my flight was delayed some 30 minutes by a lightning advisory. It was at this point I started to wonder if I would be able to make it to Minneapolis on time for the debut of Flamesnation radio, which was scheduled to start at 6pm Calgary time (7pm in Minny).
Aside from the rising anxiety about potentially missing the onset of my first radio show, the flight was uneventful. I landed in St. Paul around 6:25. I rushed off the plane (pushing over any baby carriages or grandmothers that might clutter my path) and into the baggage claim area and was lucky enough to immediately spy and scoop my bag off the conveyor belt. Next, I located a taxi and implored him to run over anyone who may stand between us and the Minneapolis Hilton which is where the show was to take place. It was already a quarter to seven.
The cabbie pulled up to the hotel about ten minutes later. I threw a wad of American bills at him and messaged Steinberg that I had arrived. I only had a few seconds to admire the throng of media, agents, prospects and executives in the Hilton lobby before jumping on the elevator and racing to Boomer's hotel room. I met Kerr and Molberg when I burst into their de facto studio, but there was little time to exchange pleasantries. They finished up their broadcast, the commercial segment ran and Steinberg got me up to speed as quickly as possible. Thanks to my own poor scheduling and the slight delay in Calgary, I had run breathlessly into my first real radio gig, inexperienced and relatively blind to what was going on.
The show seemed to go well, however, although it's hard to gauge from the business end of the microphones. The array of news on Thursday made filling the hours a breeze since there was never any lack of content to talk about. Steinberg guided the ship professionally throughout the proceedings, allowing me to sit around dumbly most of the time, occasionally responding to questions or cues. I'd like to note at this point that whatever quality or success we were able to manage with Flamesnation radio ths weekend is directly attributable to Steinberg's work.
The show wrapped at 10pm Minnesota time. Pat worked for another half an hour or so voicing various segments before we set out to the Hyatt-Regency, which is where I was booked. Luckily the Hyatt was located only a few blocks away, so the walk and the check-in didn't take too long. Neither of us had eaten since much earlier in day, so we stumbled around the general downtown area looking for a place to eat and have a few wobbly pops. We settled on the Newsroom (a place I'd recommend), where we discovered they don't sell pitchers of beer in Minneapolis (the waitress looked at us as if we lunatics when we asked) and that "Smoke Bomb" hot wings are damn hot. Pat detailed the nights activities a little further here.
I got back to the hotel between 11-12 and sat down to monitor the site and write an article or two. Steinberg did the same. I finally passed out by about 1:30 in the morning.
I woke the next morning around 9am in a bit of haze, which anyone will tell you is not uncommon after your first night on the road. I checked the site to see that Pat had penned 3 (!!) different articles in the intervening hours and then set down to work on the Flamesnation draftboard post. Interestingly, eventual Flames pick Sven Bartschi landed second on our list, marginally behind Mark McNeill. Clearly someone in the Flames office was reading *cough*.
Pat was already at the arena what with his "legitimate access" and all, so the rest of my morning was spent hunting down breakfast and monitoring the chatter via my hotel room. Around 2:30pm, Robert Cleave called me from his own room in the Hyatt and we arranged to meet and head down to the Xcel Energy center together. Bob had driven down from his place in Winnipeg and was good enough to chauffeur me around for the rest of the weekend.
Although we've worked together for a couple of years, this was the first time Bob and I had actually met in person. As those who heard him call in on Saturday can attest, Mr. Cleave can talk hockey as ably as he writes about it, and a number of other topics besides. For example, If you prod him, Bob can tell you tales of wayward pilots getting lost in the clouds and guiding their planes into the sides of mountains. Seriously.
Robert and I got to the rink by about 4pm. The doors had just opened to the general public, so we walked around the relatively crowd-free concourse, scouting locations and marking where the Flames table was located on the draft floor. I took a couple of pics to capture the general distance and impression of where we ended up:
The teams setting up for the first round.
...And again, from the opposite side of the arena
"With the 13th overall pick, the Calgary Flames proudly select Sven Bartschi."
We envetually ended up on the second level, closer to the stage as evidenced by the Bartschi pic above. This area afforded a pretty good vantage point as well as seats at a long desk like area and access to a power-outlet close by. Pat and the rest of the accredited media were squirreled away elsewhere during the proceedings, so Bob and I had to make do with what was available. The tickets we received for the event were marked "general admission", but we envetually discovered that others had assigned seats (which we were invariably sitting in). We happened upon unclaimed seats while the night was still young, however.
We set up my computer as best as possible and I began the FN live chat. Bob monitored things via his phone and kept a keen eye on the action on the floor. The first round dragged along at a snails pace and the arena was oddly and mercilessly cold inside. Perhaps in anticipation of the crowds, some over-zealous Xcel employee must have cranked the A/C up to 11. The icy draft seemed to travel up the wall of first floor seats and gust into the first balcony. At one point, an usher apologized for not being able to provide us with blankets. Bob probably suffered the most, being in shorts and a t-shirt the whole time.
The first night was relatively uneventful aside from the pick. Near the end of the proceedings, Robert's eagle eye caught Jay Feaster talking in a corner of the floor with Sabre's GM Darcy Regier. Both club's picks had already come and gone, so it struck us as odd that they would still be talking in earnest. At that time the general feeling was that Regehr had scuttled the deal with his NTC and that it was more or less dead in the water. Bob's scouting of Feaster's activities was a hint of the trade that would be announced the next day however.
Before the end of the night I met up with Hockey Prospectus' managing editor Timo Seppa and we talked about the frigid rink, incredibly slow pace of the first round and the curious decisions by the Philadelphia Flyers. Timo had media access, so it wasn't long before he had to leave and start talking to the prospects and the big-wigs.
We also happened upon a number of friendly Wings fans/bloggers that night (yes...they do exist), coincidentally because they were also looking to take advantage of a table and a power outlet. The funniest part of the evening was each of them waiting patiently for the Wings pick at the end of the first round...only to see Holland trade it away for a pair of second rounders. Sad trombone.Other highlights: a large contingent of Jets fans cheering every passing mention of the new club as well as Vancouver Canucks representatives being heartily booed at every opportunity. Best line of the evening came from Bob, who observed that the cheer Bettman received from the Winnipeg crowds was probably the only one he's enjoyed in the last two decades.
Pat was still working by the time things ended around 10pm, so Robert and myself drove back to Minneapolis where we learned the Reggie trade was back on. I added an article on the Bartschi pick and an open thread discussion of the Regehr swap before Bob and I went out for dinner at pub near the hotel called the Brit. We had a few beers and discussed the direction of the organization amongst other things before calling it a night.
Things started a bit earlier on Saturday. I ate a quick breakfast and set out with Bob shortly after 9am. We arrived and were settled before 10 and managed to get some seats a bit closer to the action this time.
Anyone who watched round two onward knows that there's a lot less pomp and circumstance the second day. The picks came fast and furious with the choice being mumbled into microphones by team execs from the tables on the floor. In truth, things became difficult to follow mid-way through day, especially as each prospect became more and more obscure. A lot of my preferred targets for the Flames were picked in rapid succession to start the second round (Rattie, Grimaldi, Jurco, Jenner, Clendening, Saad) but I was somewhat mollified when the Flames announced Markus Granlund's name. After the Wotherspoon pick, the crowds began to thin considerably and the names and picks began to blur together.
Bob and I were able to meet up with Timo Seppa again on Saturday . He gave us a quick scouting report of Chris Butler (decent tools, shakey offensively) before leaving to join the media scrums. Kyle Kosier of Illegal Curve stopped by as well and we were able to discuss The Jets returning as well as the potential for Jets Nation to become a reality in the near future.
Finally, we met up with the friendly Red Wings fans again before heading out. They were rewarded for their patience this time, with Detroit the aforementioned Tomas Jurco with their first choice in the second round.
After the Flames chose Laurent Brossoit in the 6th round, Bob and I headed back to Minneapolis where we had some lunch before I headed to the Hilton for the second iteration of Flamesnation radio of the weekend. ONce again Pat and I were kept really busy thanks to the Regehr trade, Tanguay sigining the rest of the draft, so the three hours flew by. The impromptu Tanguay interview in the middle of the show was a nice bonus.
When we finished up around 7, Pat went out for dinner with Rob Kerr to talk shop and I went back to my hotel to unwind a bit. The plan was to meet up afterwards for some drinks and such, but I'm not too proud to admit that I pretty much fell asleep before Pat was able to get back to me. My return flight was 9:30 the next morning (meaning I had to get to the airport by about 7:30am) so I had a fairly good excuse for being lame at the end of the day.
Usually that's where the story ends, with the long wait in an airport and a groggy couple hours on the plane. However, I was fortunate enough to be booked on the same flight as a number of NHL notables, including the Flames executives (Craig Conroy, Jay Feaster, Ron Sutter, Michael Holditch). The Calgary brass was seated in first class (except for Ron, oddly) whereas I was at the back of the plane so I wasn't able to regale them with my own brilliant plans for the organization.
The real stroke of luck though was being seated beside former Flame Brian Skrudland, who is currently the Florida Panthers director of player development. Despite the tropical locale of his team, Skrudland explained to me he still called Calgary home and that's where he was headed.
A more open or friendly NHL exec probably doesn't exist. Brian asked me why I was at the draft and we discussed various things hockey related, including the difficulty kids face in stepping from junior to the pro ranks, the state of NHL equipment and how big and hard the pads are these days and some of the new ways people are looking at advanced stats in hockey. He asked me if I had read Moneyball and told me he was fascinated by that area of analysis in the game. Other items of interest from Skrudland:
- Said he enjoyed working with Tallon who had a very clear direction for the Panthers but was always open to new insights and suggestions from his staff. The club was thrilled with the Huberdeau and Grimaldi picks and they are hoping to get Gudbranson signed and into the line-up this year.
- I asked him about David Booth's health. He says he's back to 100%.
- Brian described some of the difficulties hockey players face in playing hockey in Southern Florida. Described the feeling of leaving the rink in shorts and how many potential distractions there are for players down there. Says it takes real pros to operate in Miami.
- He also shared that the Panthers made a play to acquire Robyn Regehr. He said the club was interested in him not only because of the quality player he is, but also because of the quality of person and pro he is. Described Robyn in glowing terms and was sorry Florida couldn't land him. He also mentioned it was probable the Sharks made a play for Reggie, but the Flames didn't want to trade him within the conference.
- Skrudland also shared some insights about the Flames 2003-04 and their playoff run. Says an under-appreciated facet of the club in terms of off-ice stuff was Martin Gelinas, who was able to galvanize the dressing room.
There's no question the flight home was unexpectedly one of the best parts of my trip, almost exclusively thanks to Brian Skrudland. I wished him and the Florida Panthers all the best going forward.
The final surprise of the return plane trip was one Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who happened to be seated directly behind me. He struck me as quiet and unassuming, which is remarkable given what he had just gone through over the weekend. If Skrudland hadn't have congratulated RNH on being picked first overall as he sat down, it's entirely possible I wouldn't have even recognized him. I did the inexcusable fan thing and got him to sign a copy of the hockey news I had handy (pictured above). I figured I'd probably never have another, similar opportunity in the future and it was probably anyone would believe my story anyhow. I plan to sell it to some excitable Oilers fan in the future for a fortune (ie Wayne Gretz)...
So that's the rambling tale of my journey to the 2011 NHL entry draft. I hope we were able to provide some value to everyone who stopped by or called in. Be sure to drop by again this week as we gear up for free agent frenzy.
Thanks Kent. There's a business side and a pleasure side to the draft and I like hearing about both.
June 27 2011, 05:20PM
Very cool article, Kent. I'd be curious to know what Florida offered, given their bevy of solid prospects.
cool incite to the weekend kent. man i would love to make it to a draft soon.
June 27 2011, 06:13PM
@Kent Wilson
Yeah, that's a fair point. I think you potentially got a lot more interesting stuff out of him solely because it sounds like it was more of just a casual conversation with a fan as opposed to your standard sports interview.
Also, perhaps it's better that we don't know, on the off-chance that we want to murder Feaster for turning down a more palatable offer.
Great piece Kent. I'd love to go to a draft someday. It's nice to hear about the fun side of the draft in addition to the business side. Nice work.
Great article. I wonder what it would take, or what kind of job Brian Skrudland could do in the Flames organization.
@Kent Wilson
Without interrogating him, I would have wanted to ask just one question: "In his opinion, how did their offer compare to the one Calgary took?". Would have been interesting to get insight into how that package was viewed by competing bids.
Interesting read Kent. When you're finally running a team yourself, I'll be eager to read your best selling book describing the journey from fan to blogger to pro. :)
June 27 2011, 09:18PM
Kent, thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like it was a very memorable trip. How lucky were you to be on that plane and in that seat. I've been in similar circumstances with pro athletes (hockey players) and have found them to be very open and easy to talk to when they don't feel like its an on the record interview. If you ever have reason to share a similar story please do. I would also like to thank you, Pat, Dean, and the rest of the gang for all your hard work this past weekend in keeping all the hockey fans so well informed. You guys are making FM radio obsolete around my place at times. Great work!
June 27 2011, 11:31PM
Nice work Kent! I had to put aside my respect for what you and Steinberg do on here in favour of envy and disdain that you got to attend the draft, and well I didn't. LOL.
Thanks for giving us an insight as to what happens behind the scenes at the draft. Next time you go, you should carry a little web cam and make a documentary.
Good work from you and Pat, and of course Bob! You guys make this place tick, and it's tons of fun being around you guys and the Nation.
Once again great job on the live chat as well.
.. What's the countdown to the start of the season??
June 28 2011, 12:10AM
Good read Kent - I enjoyed it. If I remember correctly, Pat had tweeted once or twice that you had been delayed and might be cutting it close - for what it's worth, you guys started the show seamlessly, and you couldnt tell at all. I thought FlamesRadio was a lot of fun, and when the posts slowed down, Pat and yourself did a great job keeping the conversation alive between phonecalls etc. The live chat during round 1 was an excellent idea, it was good to see how many of the site's regular posters were on hand and excited to see what the Flames were going to do. I was kind of looking forward to hearing at least a little blurb about some hazy, drunken expedition to the local topless bar or something, but given how hectic the weekend turned out to be, you guys can be excused for not "taking advantage" of your hall pass! Well done, and i'm looking forward to future versions of FlamesRadio
About that Skrudland fella...you shoulda popped him one for game 2 of the 1986 finals. Just kidding, he is a great guy. I played pond hockey against him in Plaster Rock NB five years ago ( http://backyard-ice.blogspot.com/2010/02/frozen-bodies-of-water-part-ii.html ). Thanks for sharing your experiences, it was a good read.
Please call it "Jets Air-force."
