Gregor's third quarter report card
Jason Gregor
March 02 2009 02:40PM
Here's the third quarter report card for the Oilers. This is a quarterly report and not a midway ranking, and you can see their respective grade from the first and second quarters in here and here. Also read below for an update on Ethan Moreau's condition.
A+ Dwayne Roloson. The Colossal Fossil has been the Oilers most consistent player this segment. He was the either the first (4) or second (4) star eight times this stretch. His save % is now .917, he is 14th in wins and only four goalies with more wins have a better save %, Tim Thomas, Ryan Miller, Niklas Backstrom and Steve Mason. He has started 18 in a row and with no back-to-back games in their next eight games I don't see him sitting anytime soon. (B first 20, A- 2nd)
A Ales Hemsky. Hemsky scored ten goals in the 18 games that he played. He was super-star dominant in the early part of this quarter, but only had two goals and two points in the last six games. He had 17 points in the 18 games, but he leaves you wanting more. On a team starving for offence he is clearly their best player, and he has become so exciting that if he doesn't dominate a game we are disappointed. He has raised the bar, and with 10 goals in 18 games and linemates that are struggling he is deserving of this grade. (A+ first 20, A second quarter)
A- Sheldon Souray. Souray continues to be consistent physically and emotionally. His points were down a bit, 11, in this quarter compared to his 14.5 average in the first two. He played over 28 minutes in five of the games, and with the style he plays that gets taxing. The return of Grebeshkov should ease his minutes and allow him to be more effective. His point totals and +/- was down a bit this quarter, so he dipped slightly. (A in first two segments)
A- Zack Stortini. Career segment for Stortini, who didn't forget his job even though he snipped four goals in the 14 games he played. He also had five tilts, and Stortini's confidence is evident in every area of his game. He is throwing more punches and scoring more goals. Strange stat, he didn't miss the net once this segment. All nine shots of his hit the net and four went in. He has a 27.8 shooting% now. You can't expect much more from Stortini. If his more talented teammates would work half as hard as he does the Oilers would be in a much better position in the standings. (C first 20, B- 2nd)
A- Tom Gilbert. After no goals in the second quarter Gilbert was a beast offensively this quarter. He had 18 points, the most of any Oiler this segment. He only had two goals, but 16 assists for a D-man is very good. The problem was he had 21 giveaways as well. Of course not all of them resulted in goals, but his turnovers did result directly in six goals for the opposition. I would still like him to use his size a bit more, especially in one-on-one battles down low, but his offensive production was incredible. He played lots of minutes this quarter, so you would expect a bit of an increase in his turnovers. The fact is he produced offensively, and on this team offence means more. Plain and simple. (B- first 20, C- 2nd)
B Denis Grebeshkov. Nine points in the 14 games he played, a +4 and the giveaways continue to shrink. His value is even more important on a team with so many forwards who struggle to score. His return has a double positive, in that he brings more offence but also he can take some minutes away from Souray and Gilbert. He still needs to shoot more though, 38 shots is unacceptable. (C+ first 20, B- 2nd)
B Kyle Brodziak. Ten points in this stretch, (5th most on the team) and he had 19 hits this segment compared to 22 in the first two combined, which shows he is trying to be more physical. He is still above 50% in the draw, but if he could become 52-53% that would help. He was consistent this quarter and if he and his wingers continue to produce it could go a long way to the Oilers making the playoffs. It is sad when your 4th line scores almost as often as your 2nd line over 20 games. (C first 20, B- 2nd)
B Lubomir Visnovsky. He had six points in the six games he played before tearing his labrum. He has been very consistent this season, and before the injury you sensed his game was getting even better. His absence has been very noticeable, especially on the PP. He gets a grade because of how big his injury has been. (B- first 20, B 2nd)
B- Jason Strudwick. His minutes grew with the injuries to 71 and 37, and when paired with Peckham he was a good mentor for the rookie. He continues to fair well in most of his fights, and is one of the few signings that has worked out for Kevin Lowe. He isn't flashy, but his noticeable enthusiasm for the game is refreshing. (A- first 20, B- 2nd)
B- Ladislav Smid. Another guy who stepped up due to injuries on the backend and he played solid. Five assists, with three of them coming as he led the rush show he is trying to add more offence to his game. But he has to work on his shot, which could be the worst point shot in the league. He hasn't scored a goal since March of 2007. He doesn't take many penalties for a guy who plays physical, and the best part about his game is that you are seeing improvement as the season progresses. (C first 20, B- 2nd)
B- Erik Cole. He has been the most talked about Oiler of late, but for trade speculation rather than production. He is a tough guy to evaluate. He went nine games without a point in this stretch, but he finished with seven goals. He had 58 hits this quarter, and just when you think he is going to be a dominant force most nights he seems to disappear offensively. Brownlee and I have disagreed on whether he will be here come Wednesday at 1 p.m., but with Moreau's injury I'm more certain than ever he will be here. They need at least one forward to play physical. (F first 20, B+ 2nd)
C+ Steve Staios. After a horrendous second quarter, Staios rebounded and played much better this segment. I still think Staios plays best between 18-21 minutes, and I give him credit for play upwards of 26 and 27 during some games, but if they ask him to keep playing that much it will affect his game. He shows courage by blocking lots of shots, he stepped and in the game v. Minn after Buffalo demolished them, he crushed Veilleux with a hit, and has a spirited tilt with Clutterbuck. He leads by being competitive every game. We know he doesn't have the most ability, but he shows up and that is more than most of his teammates can say.(B- first 20)
C+ Liam Reddox. The little Red-Ox is consistent every game. He battles hard, skates hard and has fit in nicely on the 4th line. He brings energy every game, and lately has started to make good decisions with the puck. You wonder if guys like Nilsson, Gagner, Cogliano and Pouliot played with the same determination how good they would be. Many ripped Reddox because the coach put him in a bad spot for 5 games, on the first line, but it is hard to criticize what he brings to the ice now. I believe that Reddox's play might make Pisani expandable in the future. He is much cheaper, skates as well and is even grittier.
C Andrew Cogliano. He had a tough stretch with only two goals. You would like to see some improvement in his faceoffs, but there hasn't been any. He is still a woeful 38%. You would like to see him improve to at least a 45% guy the next segment. It is an element of his game he needs to work more on, because he hasn't shown any signs of improvement all year. Like many other forwards he needs to engage more, and with his speed you would like to see him draw more penalties. (B- first 20, A- 2nd)
C Steve Macintyre. He played seven games and wasn't a defensive liability, but outside of his two fights he didn't do much. Of course it is hard to make an impression in three minutes. With the games becoming even more important, I doubt you will see lots of MacIntyre down the stretch. (B- first 20, N/A 2nd)
C Theo Peckham. He played eight games, and was a +1 in these eight games. He was physical, and most importantly he played a simple game. He wasn't a major factor in games, but he never hurt himself either. He showed he can add some toughness on the backend for next year, or possibly this year if there is another injury.
C- Ethan Moreau. Moreau is an emotional player, but his emotions got the best of him too often during this stretch. Too many penalties hurt him, and he needs to be more controlled. While the penalties piss you off, at least he has produced something, scoring five goals. Only Cole and Hemsky scored more goals this quarter, so you would give Moreau an A for offence and and F for discipline. (A first 20, C 2nd).
****Update on Moreau's eye. He has a scratched cornea and there is blood behind the eye. The good news is that he is staring to see shadows, so the outlook looks good. His return date is up in the air right now, but most importantly it sounds like he should escape serious injury.
C- Shawn Horcoff. A strange quarter for Horcoff. At times it looked like he was incapable of finishing a one-timer, yet the small parts of his game improved. He was 58% in the dot during this stretch, and was +9. Hemsky was +3 and Penner +2 so it's a rare stat where he isn't being carried by Hemsky. 13 points just doesn't cut, and at the end of the day doing the small things aren't enough for your 1st line center. Horcoff better get used to hearing criticism, because when his new contract kicks in next year the expectations will be even greater. I really think MacTavish should lessen his PK minutes. I know he is in great shape, but why not use Cogliano a bit more? I know that Cogliano can only come off the bench on the fly, because he can't win a draw to save his life, but I think it might benefit both players. (D in first 20, C 2nd)
C- Sam Gagner. Two goals and four points from your 2nd line centre is horrendous. While Gagner competes hard, he is clearly struggling to play like he did last year. His ankle is still bothering him a bit, but his over handling of the puck is what has plagued him the most. Regardless of the ankle, he needs to improve his foot speed this summer. While he claims he hasn't lost any, you wonder if his confidence is where it needs to be. If the Oilers plan to finish 5th or 6th he has to start contributing. (D+ first 20, B- 2nd)
C- Marc Pouliot. Not much different from Pouliot. Rarely did you notice him in the 16 games he played. He doesn't score enough to be a top six, he doesn't play physical to be an energy guy, and rarely do you feel confident he will win the one-on-one battle for a puck. He seems to have lost the confidence of his coach, and you wonder if he will be here come Wednesday. He is the poster boy for soft, safe and unwilling to compete forward that the Oilers have an abundance of. (D- first 20, C+ 2nd)
C- Dustin Penner. More of the same from Penner. Sure he had 10 points, but do you remember a game where he took control of even a shift? It gets old to ask why he doesn't look interested, but it is getting harder watching him float through most games. I don't expect him to be as dogged as Stortini or Moreau, but being the softest guy on the ice when you are 240 pounds is embarrassing. If he gave even a decent effort I think he would score 25-28 goals easily, but he seems incapable so far of finding a consistent effort. (D first 20, C-)
D Robert Nilsson. One goal during this stretch from your supposed 2nd line LW is not good enough. The most damning stat for Nilsson is that not once in the 51 games he's played has he been named a star. Not freakin once. Not once has he been one of the best three players on the ice. With the amount of natural ability he has you would think that in one game he would be a factor. I don't expect him to be a physical presence, so all he can bring is offence, and he hasn't been bringing it. The frustrating part about Nilsson's game is that there is no middle ground. At least when Cole isn't scoring he draws penalties or hits, what does Nilsson do when he score? If you know let me know. (C first 20, D 2nd)
N/A Fernando Pisani. Only played two games, so no grade.
N/A Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers. Outside of two relief appearances his biggest contribution has been in practice. Maybe he has to let the forwards score more in practice to get some confidence. You wonder if he gets another conditioning stint, and they call up Dubynk and let him play in the one or two games that Roloson doesn't start down the stretch. If JDD does play, it will be more his mental game that he showcases. (B first 20, C 2nd)
C is for COACHING. MacTavish was much calmer this segment. He didn't call out anyone this stretch. I'd like to see him make better adjustments during the game. While it is human nature to have favourites, I wonder why Horcoff has to play as much as he does. He still can't get over mistakes players make, but I give him credit for rewarding players who give a solid effort. They actually had their best stretch this quarter going 11-8-2, but this team still can't seem to play consistent enough. At some point he needs to find a way to reach the underachievers. Saying he can't isn't an option.
Grade as a team: C+. They went 11-8-2 during this quarter, with eleven home games and ten road games. They still lack an identity at home, and that has to fall on the shoulders of the players. This team is where they are due to Roloson, their defence and Hemsky. It is not coincidence that almost all of the C grades and below are forwards. Currently the only playoff teams with fewer goals are Columbus and the Rangers. The fourth line has been overachieving, Hemksy is dominant, Moreau and Cogliano have produced okay, but the other six forwards are underperforming. Horcoff, Penner, Cole, Gagner and Nilsson have to improve, and if even three of them do the Oilers should squeak into the playoffs.

Something curious about Horcoff --
- last year, before his torn labrum he was shooting accurately and often, but his faceoff %tge was down - this year, he takes more faceoffs than any center in the league, is up on his %tge
Anyone connected know if he switched sticks in order to be stronger on the dot?
Remember when Sykora was here? His whippy sticks would often break because of the beating it was taking when he played center for a stretch of games.
Stoll is exceptional on the faceoff date, but how often did we see his stick break?

You know what? That makes a ton of sense.... Cool observation!

Gregor: I guess I just have a problem with this rating format in the first place. Everything should be judged on what a guy's making relative to the budget or cap.
The game is about production, not what you make. It's about what guys do. Since you rail on Staios so often, how does his production to salary ratio rank?
I rank it on what a players realistic expectations are based on how he has played in his career. That is a true ranking. They set the bar. Not coaches, not salary, but actual production. YOu can argue that Horcoff might be a B- instead of a C, fine, but did you expect all of us to see the game the same.
It seems most agree with the overall ranking excluding one or two.
But the game will always be about production and play on the ice. I could care less what a guy makes. If he makes two million, do I want him not to overachieve and play like a guy worth three or four. Of course not.

In Gagner's case, it's generally the other team's weaker scoring line. Every so often he sees tougher opponents (he played a ton against Ovechkin that last game in Washington, because that's the way Boudreau likes it), and every so often he sees weaker opponents, but on the whole he's seeing players rather similar to himself.

Both play weak opposition and get killed. Our eyes show us this -they're both slow, behind the play, and rarely physical enough- and the numbers , e.g. Corsi, GFAON, qual comp., etc., all agree that these guys suck.
Your eyes must be blurry, since I gave Staios a D last quarter.
Yeah Strudwick has really cost the Oilers games. His play is a major factor. Unlike you, I don't think Corsi numbers are the ONLY way to evaluate the game.
I don't discount Strudwick is slow, but please point out a time he was beaten badly. Has he lost a fight? He plays his role and contributes. He isn't supposed to be a major factor in the game. No other 6th Dman really is. If they aren't noticed then they are playing well. And Strudwick has been more noticeable than most expected.
The GFON over 60 minutes is ridiculous stat in my mind. If a guy plays on the 4th line for 7 or 8 minutes a night, it is really hard to get in the game, and you have a fewer chances to score. Multiplying that by seven or eight to get to sixty minutes proves what exactly.
And if a guy plays 16 minutes and scores as much as a guy who plays 19 it doesn't guarantee that he would automatically produce more at 19 minutes. Maybe he would get more tired...There are many intangibles that go into it.
Either way you can use your paper stats and I'll incorporate actual live games and stats in mine. To each his own.
March 02 2009, 06:41PM
@ Jonathan Willis: If he plays against the weaker scoring lines wouldn't that mean that those lines were probably better defensively? Just because the 2nd line on team isn't as much as an offensive threat as the 1st doesn't mean they are any less capable of playing solid defense. To make it in the NHL, you must be able to play the defensive side of the puck. That is why I don't see the so-called "soft-minutes" that you speak of.
March 02 2009, 06:55PM
But I do agree that Gagner isn't relied on nearly as much as Horcoff to shut down the opposing teams top line. However, I don't think that should be either of those two palyers' role.
Just wondering if anyone can answer this, Kyle Turris was sent down to the AHL a little while back, and was recalled today. The odd thing I noticed is that he's 19, I thought you had to be 20 to play in the AHL?
With all his struggles this season why hasn't Gagner gone down this season? Can any one explain this?

Like Sam Gagner? Traditionally the weaker scoring line is where you see 45-60 point players who cash a lot on the powerplay and end up around -10 (I'm generalizing massively here, but the point is accurate).
It's the Robert Nilsson's, Sam Gagner's, and Mike Comrie's of the world. Kristian Huselius fits into that group, as will Rob Schremp (if he makes it).
These are guys with defensive pitfalls who (as a rule) make their hay on the powerplay and are weaker at even strength. They get tossed out after the power-vs.-power and checking lines, and generally wind up in the third slot in terms of EV icetime.

I believe that because Turris went the NCAA rather than CHL route he's exempt. That rule only applies to players who go through junior.
@ Jonathan Willis: Ah makes sense now, thanks!
BTW... this site is awesome! JW, Robin, Gregor, and all the "voices of the nation" keep it up!
March 02 2009, 07:17PM
@ Jonathan Willis: I see your point Jonathan and while I agree somewhat I just think Sam is chastised by the fans here but they forget that this kid is only 19 years old. Because of this, I think it is unfair to compare him to Comrie and even Nilsson who has been in the league for a while. If after a few years, baby Sam is not putting up the numbers then I would agree with your assessment. On the flip side, how can we be sure that he will not be a great player once he gets stronger and puts on some muscle?
Gregor: I guess we see things different because I think it's ALL about what you're making and what role you play. Wings are so good up front because their big forwards play power and make less than some other guys. Ducks won in '07 with a checking line playing power and making shag-all. Oilers almost won in '06 with a guy making the money making the plays - Pronger - and then a bunch of guys making little and out-performing their contracts: 10-14-16-34 etc etc.
This isn't 2002 and we aren't the Wings with 70 odd mill to spill so, yeah, I'm gonna be looking at salary every time.
As for 24, he's making ~3 mill and he's a bottom pairing D when everyone's healthy. I'd rather have two Smid's because at least that guy's salary's a little more under control.
To close, the whole idea of report cards are archaic. These days it's about budget and cap and it's easier to make these judgments because salaries are common knowledge.
March 02 2009, 09:46PM
Belive me, I'm a big believer in Sam Gagner's upside as an NHL player. I'm not sure if he'll turn out to be excellent or just good, but I wouldn't expect him to handle tough matchups at his age; very few players do.
It will come.

Well, he has a point, APE. Why just this season, not only as Hemsky played with Horcoff and Penner, but also (at least briefly):
1. Gritty power forward Erik Cole 2. The talented and consistent Robert Nilsson 3. Gritty power forward Ethan Moreau 4. Promising youngster Liam Reddox 5. Noted scoring ace Andrew Cogliano 6. Savvy playmaker Sam Gagner
If that isn't a list of players that make you better, I don't know what is ;)

That sure seems like a strange position for someone who is such a staunch supporter of Horcoff.

One of my biomechanics professors did some testing of composite sticks a few years ago and found that slap shots and face-offs tend to weaken the sticks. While they're nice and whippy to get that extra bit of velocity, especially on wrist shots, the trade-off is that they're much more brittle and don't hold up well to impact from other sticks or being battered against the ice during a slap shot.
Their results were summarily ignored, thanks in part to the lockout giving the NHL other things to think about. Things aren't as bad as they were a few years ago, so maybe the stick companies are working on it, but there's still a lot of sticks breaking on innocent plays.
Rick: No, money is one of the reasons why I support that guy. he does all the heavy lifting and maybe next year he starts being overpaid but he isn't this year.
@ Jonathan Willis: For sure sorry about that my eye site is not the best.But I will try my best my friend.I know I upset some people with my post but this is what I believe is the problem? I may be wrong but like everyone else we all have a opinion or this site would be boring if we all agreed on everything. This is the reason I like this site as it's fun and I enjoy reading the posting from everyone. So we don't need to rude to each other lets enjoy hearing from us fans as well. We will see if there are any changes to this team today. I hope we don't give up on a lot of players because they are having a off year.As the time to get better is done over the off season.This way we can decide who to keep or trade or let go. I hope to God someone would take Penner but it will be hard to dump his salary.Have a great day everyone D

Canada's MacNeil and Richards clinch beach spot in Youth Olympic GamesFAJARDO, Puerto Rico – Canada's Jake MacNeil and Andrew Richards sealed their spot in the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, with a thrilling 2-1 (17-21, 26-24, 15-12) victory over U.S. team Louis Richards and Torey DeFalco under rainy conditions at Seven Seas Beach in Fajardo on Sunday (Dec. 08).
MacNeil (Georgetown, Ont.) and Richards (London, Ont), both 17 years old, who went undefeated in their three outings during the preliminary phase of the NORCECA Central Zone Boys' Qualification Tournament on Saturday, also won another three-set battle with Mexico's Luis Ramos and Jesus Rodriguez 21-14, 23-25, 15-13.
"I am thrilled and speechless after this great moment," an emotional MacNeil said. "We won the trials in Canada six months ago to come to this tournament and we have been training very hard since then. The work hard has paid off."
"I never thought this thing was going to be possible," Richards said. "It is like a dream representing our country in the Nanjing Games and I want to give credit to my partner, my coaches and my parents."
Commenting on the US Team, Richards said: "The match was even out there and could have gone either way."
On the girls' side, Suzanne Muno and Sarah Poncil of the U.S. edged Canadian twin sisters Megan and Nicole McNamara of Delta, B.C. in three sets 21-19, 19-21, 16-14, with the American duo booking tickets to the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing as winners of the NORCECA Central Zone Girls' Qualification Tournament on Sunday.
The Canadian women will get another chance to qualify for the Games at the NORCECA Final Playoff next March, where second and third placed teams of four tournaments will be competing for two remaining spots to the Games.
"Both teams represented Canada very well in Puerto Rico and both teams fought hard versus the USA in the finals," said Ed Drakich, Volleyball Canada's High Performance Director. "Congratulations to Jake MacNeil and Andrew Richards for qualifying for the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games, and to Megan and Nicole McNamara for finishing second and earning a berth in the final NORCECA playoff to qualify for the Youth Olympics."
The second Summer Youth Olympic Games will take place in China from August 16 to 28, 2014.

Kathleen Joyce Lytle Dulac
Durango resident Kathleen Joyce Lytle Dulac died after an extended illness battling multiple organ failure Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012, in Durango. She was 65.
Known as Kathy, she was born to Edward John and Ruth Loraine (French) Lendrum on March 10, 1947, in Oil City, Pa. She grew up in Oil City and attended schools there. She later lived in Florida and California.
As a certified nursing assistant, Mrs. Dulac worked with handicapped children in California.
She had lived in Durango for more than 30 years.
She met her husband John Alphonso J.J. Dulac Jr., in Chula Vista Calif. The couple married there in 1991 and were together 17 years before divorcing. They got back together shortly thereafter, renewing their vows in November 2010 at Mercy Regional Medical Center.
The Dulacs owned a security company, Security Booting, in Durango. Ms. Dulac also worked as a bartender at the Durango Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 4031 and was an active member of the VFW and The American Legion Post 28 ladies auxiliaries. Ms. Dulac was also an active member of the Calvary Chapel of Durango.
Kathy lived life to the fullest, her friends said, having been a (American bulldog) breeder and kennel owner in Florida.
Ms. Dulac enjoyed travel, dancing, riding motorcycles, playing bingo, going to casinos and gaming and was always very lucky, her friends said. She enjoyed spending time with her dog, Jada. She formed close friendships with Donna Hardin-Byers and Fluffy Jackson, who helped take care of her as her illness progressed.
Ms. Dulac was preceded in death by her husband of 19 years, J.J. Dulac Jr.
She is survived by her brothers Bob Lendrum and John Lendrum, both of Pennsylvania; one aunt; one nephew; and extended family members.
Cremation will occur. A service will be held at a later date.
The American Legion Ladies Auxiliary has established a memorial fund in her name to support the American Cancer Society and liver research. Contributions may be made to the The American Legion Post 28 Ladies Auxiliary and sent to the post, 878 East Second Ave., Durango, CO 81301.

By Alan J. PetersonCarbonville
This letter is in response to an editorial in the Sun Advocate by Tom McCourt in which McCourt disagreed with Emery County officials decision to pursue a land use bill. Alan Peterson writes in response to the reasoning that wilderness is unconstitutional because it is contrary to the Americans with Disabilities Act which states Americans with disabilities should be included in all aspects of American life and the ongoing discussion/debate over Emery County's interest in proposing a Washington County style lands bill including Wilderness. Editor: Patsy Stoddard
I have used the ADA reasoning in comments before. For example, when commenting on the Clinton Monument (Grand Staircase Escalante) and the response I got from the BLM was that, "not all public land had to be accessible to the handicapped, as long as some of the land was accessible then the need had been met".
As for utilizing the wheelchair bound. Do I know anyone in a wheelchair? We'll start with Richard Beardall who formed the group ADDA which is for handicapped people who want access to public lands. We (ADDA) held a protest ride at Hidden Splendor Mine a couple years ago. Richard (with his wheelchair strapped to the rear rack of his ATV), Monte Swasey (with his oxygen tank strapped to the front of his ATV), John Anderson (holder of active mining claims in The Pasture across the Muddy) and a few others drove past the BLM WSA barricade (after we moved it out of the way) and drove to the banks of the Muddy River, turned around and returned to the cheers of the crowd who had braved the rain and mud to witness the Protest. What came of that? Absolutely nothing but the self-satisfaction of those of us who were there. Emery County Commissioner Gary Kofford was there, Chad Booth of At Your Leisure was there, a reporter from the Salt Lake Tribune was there, the Emery County Progress was there, but the television news stations didn't come as they didn't consider it to be news worthy.
As for the current WSA lands, the wheelchairs are not allowed nor have they been for 26 years within a WSA. All other public land is still open to further "inventory" and further "study" as long as the Wilderness debate is open. In other words, as long as the issue is still being "studied" or "debated"......the land is managed as wilderness. We haven't won the battle for 26 years, we lost the battle for the WSA lands 26 years ago. We'll continue to lose more land as the "studies" and "inventories" continue. The America's Red Rock Wilderness Act has grown from under five million to over nine million acres in Utah. The process under Babbitt/Clinton "found" millions of additional acres that BLM claims to have "wilderness characteristics". All of those lands are now being recognized and managed under "special" guidelines through RMP updates in each of the Field Offices in Utah.
The only way to stop the growth of the cancer (WSA & WC land) is to isolate the tumor (Congressionally designated WSA) and remove it so it can't continue to spread into the surrounding healthy tissue (remaining multiple use lands).
Thus, I am in favor of isolating the tumor and having Congress bring an end to the spread of the Wilderness cancer.
SUWA will continue to put forth bills asking for more wilderness, this is a certainty. But, SUWA can't designate wilderness....only Congress can do that. I believe that once Congress has designated "x" number of acres in Emery County as wilderness, they won't re-visit the issue. They will be able to say that they have completed their work in Emery County. They still have the rest of Utah and all of the other public land states to deal with this issue. It's a gamble that I'm willing to take. To each his own opinion and I fully realize that I'm in the minority on this. But, 25+ years in the trenches of this battle have taught me some things and one of those is this......If I could turn the hands of time back to 1983, I would have accepted the baseline acreage of WSA and ended the debate. At this time I will ask Emery County to demand the four routes within Sid's Mtn WSA to be cherry stemmed out of the WSA. I would ask that all other public lands be given "hard release" and officially end the "study" or "inventory" to find more and more land suitable for wilderness designation.
We lost the battle for the current WSA lands 26 years ago. We continue to lose in court, we continue to lose in the RMP process, we continue to lose with the public.
Congress needs to make a Wilderness designation to stop the spread of this horrible disease. We may lose a leg, we may lose an arm but the alternative is terminal. I will also go on record that I am in favor of some Congressionally designated Wilderness in Emery County. The lands that God made as wilderness and truly meet the criteria of the 1964 Wilderness Act should be designated. But, the majority of lands that SUWA is suggesting don't meet that criteria.
Most of SUWA's Red Rock wilderness lands contains, bulldozed roads, cabins, trails, mines, ponds, structures, powerlines, fences, etc. Those lands should be returned to multiple use status and eliminated from the wilderness debate.

Featuring lots of overpronation support and protection from the ground, the Asics Gel Kayano 19 is a premium shoe with maximum cushioning and a soft ride.
Throw on the Asics Gel-Kayano 19 for the a first-class ride. This high mileage trainer features a Dynamic Duomax midsole to provide support against overpronation without intruding on a smooth ride. Other premium features such as a seamless mesh upper and Gel cushioning both in the heel and forefoot means you'll be running in fine comfort. Why settle for less?
Model Number:
Weight: 10.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (31mm), Forefoot (21mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Kayano 19 is a maximum feature, maximum support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape.
Comments: Great Shoe. This is my first pair of the Kayano 19 and so far very pleased. Very comfortable even though i don't run due to knee injury, i walk 3-5 miles each day. The 19 has all the support and cushion i need. I use to wear the GT 1000 but these are much better for my needs. Will buy again.
From: Jim, Detroit, Michigan
Comments: So far very nice, I bought my first pair of 19's three weeks ago and have been happy with the results. I'm reading they run big but haven't experienced that so far. I run 10 miles a day and the ride has been very smooth. I'd give them an 8.5 out of 10. Have a great run!
From: Bernie, Fort Wright, Kentucky
Comments: Great shoe! I've got almost 400 miles in them and the soles are still holding up, hope to get 600-650 miles out of them. No joint pain either!
From: Michael, Waynesburg, PA, USA
Comments: Glad RW adjusted Shoeftr since I ordered and returned the 19s. Recommendation was to order size 15 if you wore a size 14 in the Kayano 18 and between a size 14 & 15 if you wore a size 14 in the Kayano 17. The Kayano 19 did not fit me well, size 15 was huge both in length and the width of the toe box. I can still get a good price at my LRS on the 18s so I'll stick with that. The 19 runs big IMHO.
From: Dan, Wisconsin
Comments: The Kayano 19's are my dream shoe, have already purchased three pair!! First thing, RW states this shoe runs a 1/2 size large however I didn't find that, it may run slightly large in my opinion, nothing like the 17's from a couple of years ago which ran at least a 1/2 size big. When I put the 19's on I initially thought it didn't have enough padding and felt too stiff/hard, said why did Asics change the 18 which I've been quite happy with. Took them out for a run and haven't been able to take them off since, definitely the most comfortable shoe I've ever run in. They are lighter than previous Kayanos which is nice and seem better padded. I give my shoes a heavy workout as I'm 6' & 200 pds and run five miles on cement about 6 days a week. I've read some mixed reviews on the 19's on the web and really don't understand the negatives however I guess results vary on the type of runner you are. I'm afraid I may not like the 20's so I'll probably stock up on the 19's just in case. As usual RW is a great place to purchase from with excellent prices and free two day delivery!
From: Brad, Orlando, FL, USA
Comments: 3 Stars, kind of disappointed in this shoe. Found it definitely runs large after about a month of use, and some unfortunate stretching, which is very odd for a fully synthetic shoe. I would have expected better.
From: Adam, Washington, DC, USA
Comments: Totally agree with the first comment. Lighter and more responsive than the gt2000 or the nimbus 14.
From: Jonathan, Allen, TX
Comments: Feels much more sporty vs stodgy. A more flexible, cushioned and faster ride. The platform is less stable (a wee bit) and way more responsive. The 2000 gt feels more stiff and slow by comparison.
From: Ken, Burnaby, Canada

YouTube Views Don't Matter – Here Are 5 Metrics That Do
"Wow, that YouTube video has got more than a million views already!" The YouTube view count is probably the most well-known statistic in social media.

If you are promoting your company with video ads on YouTube, a portion of your targeted audience may be missing the message due to ad blocking software.

Even YouTube itself says so.

Posted on 02/22/2013 11:23:52 AM PST by jimbo123
Sources have confirmed with the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas that a man who was shot to death while driving his Maserati on the Las Vegas Strip was an aspiring rapper from Oakland who went by the name of Kenny Clutch.
Clutch, whose real name was Kenneth Cherry Jr., was 27 years old. His father, Kenneth Cherry Sr., confirmed his sons death and said his family is devastated.
Two more people died after the Maserati crashed into a taxi cab, causing it to explode.
Cherrys friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter have been posting messages that read rest in peace. Cherry was also believed to be a well-known pimp, sources told the CBS affiliate
(Excerpt) Read more at sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com ...
Seems like the country's IQ went up measurably yesterday.
Unreal... I was in cab at that intersection 2 weeks ago... Another NEAR MISS...
Seems he got "Hammerd" and is now on "Ice, Ice, Baby, Ice, Ice".....
Why is this story getting so much air time, what about the innocent taxi driver and passenger that died due to this crime?
Read the article title, and all I could think of was;
The story implied that he had his womens working for him.
Sad because he was going back to school, taking care of his kids, good to his momma, going to church, hanging out with a bad crowd, made a mistake, rough childhood, under the influence of bad friends, off his meds, biploar, stricken with elm blight, freezer burn, etc.
So we have two cars involved in a rolling shoot and neither had plates on them.
They came out of a valet parking lot. Somebody had a camera on them and a
DeRanged Rover is a somewhat rare car...so they should have a short list and know who the owner is shortly.
I am amused by that term "aspiring rapper". Not really talented enough [not much talent required anyway] to be one, just a wannabe. Pathetic.
"Supposedly the taxi exploded because it was fueled with propane! Al Gore strikes again."
This being a Vegas taxi, the meter probably survived and is still running up the fare.
He stole it?
LMAO! Funny , but sadly true...
Why is it that the aspiring rappers seem to have a higher mortality rate than the non-aspiring rappers?
But! But! What happened to all the gun control laws? Oh yeah, the laws aren't meant for the thugs.
Ate glue when he was a kid!
"Why is it that the aspiring rappers seem to have a higher mortality rate than the non-aspiring rappers?"
Because they are the stupidest of the bunch? Darwin, Natural Selection, etc.
From aspiring to expiring in a heartbeat!
>>>>Predawn jogger Eric Lackey was on his way back to the New York-New York hotel when he snapped a cellphone photo of the blazing scene moments after the crash. Black smoke billowed from the flaming taxi, amid popping sounds from the fire.<<<
Since this violent crime occured near the replica of Bloomberg's NYC, the tourist probably thought it was part of the show.
An apiring rapper and alleged pimp (or was it aspiring pimp and alleged rapper?) getting murdered, who would ever think such a thing could happen?
If somebody offered to me a "free" trip to Las Vegas I would turn it down. There are too many dirt bags from Oakland and Los Angeles there.
"Aspiring Rapper" is the PC way of saying "unemployed ghetto street thug with an arrest record."
There is a highly paid rapper position open now (comes with a company provided Maserati.) I'll post more as soon as I find out where you can apply.
I am amused by that term aspiring rapper.
He's learning that words can rhyme...but he doesn't know enough words yet. IQ presently kindergarten level.
Probably was difficult to potty train.
now he's just an expired rapper. while dying he was an expiring rapper.
As trailer homes are to twisters, so go rappers to speeding bullets.
Most likely.
I saw a episode of Cops on the strip just a day or two ago.
Someone rented one, had a flat tire. The Rental Comp. told them to leave it where it was with the key under the floor mat. Cops were about to haul it when the company showed up to get it. Sat on the strip Blvd. for a few hours like that.
They said 2k a day to rent it.
So someone popped a Cherry in a pimpmobile? Happens all the time.
Otherwise, yes, I do feel very, very sorry for those poor folks in the taxi.
The LEGENDARY Kenny Clutch. He's just joined the 27 club.
Best career move he could make.
If Obama had a son, he'd be an aspiring rapper.
When I heard the news I immediately thought the person in the Maserati must be wealthy and famous.
"HTH could he afford to drive a Maserati?"

Norman Lovett Slideshow Show
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2007
Norman Lovett, best known for his role as Holly in cult sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, would like us to see some of the photos he's taken.
They fascinate him and he'll induce tears of laughter through exquisite timing and perfectly judged commentary on his slideshow.
Original Review:
There's not a lot of confusion as to what this show's about. Norman Lovett literally shows us slides for an hour and passes dry comment on them all. For anyone who has every sat through a friend's interminable holiday snaps, this doesn't sound the most exciting prospect on the Fringe.
And Lovett's not one for capturing dramatic landscapes or heart-stopping drama. Here's a picture of his tumble drier, or an empty box left outside a house near his Balham home, or a vandalised parking machine. Mundane is the name of his game.
For the most part, the images don't even illustrate a story or serve some greater purpose, it's just things that make him go 'hmmm'. If Seinfeld was a show about nothing, this is
about even less than that.
But don't let this description put you off. Lovett is the master of the dour, underplayed comment, making a virtue out of his boredom with life, and he manages to elicit some good laughs out of this seemingly unpromising premise.
Nothing needs to be said about some of the pictures. Bad road markings, funny signs or adverts for crap products from the classified pages of the Saturday newspapers speak for themselves. 'Look at that!' he sighs as he shares another bit of oddness. Sometimes you wonder why comedians bother to write material when a picture of a dog in the bath gets a laugh.
But about others Lovett's unconventionally fertile mind constructs elaborate, if unlikely stories. His mini-drama based on the trees of Clapham Common is inspired. He imagines the sort of person who drives the cars he sees, or who would write 'Jesus Lives' in the dust.
Mostly they're just quirky fantasy, but when it's his own kitchen roll holder, or drab out-of-season holiday camp where he's attending a sci-fi convention because of his Red Dwarf role, there is a real tale to tell. Sometimes he'll catch sight of something he doesn't like, and moan: 'That makes me so angry…' But fury's not in his emotional vocabulary. 'Slightly disappointed,' would probably be a better reflection.
It's all very gentle stuff, and not all of it works, but over the course of the hour, Lovett has the avuncular warmth to make the audience feel part of a club where the boring and the unexceptional is quietly celebrated. It'll be too slow for some, but it's certainly well-intentioned.

EUGENE SIMON in House of Anubis
19-year-old Eugene Simon plays Jerome on House of Anubis. It's kind of a mystery/soap opera/fantasy set in a British boarding school, so it's got a little of everything. We spoke to Eugene about the show, about his own boarding school experiences with bullies, his favorite American fast food, and the best advice he ever got. Read on. . .
Q: Why do you think kids love House of Anubis?
Eugene: I think what kids really enjoy is that brilliant balance between a somewhat realistic social life of kids ages 13 to 16, but incorporate the mystery into it in a way that makes it real enough for us to enjoy the ride. I think people really like that, a combination of the mystery and the social life.
Q: Tell me about your character, Jerome. Is it fun playing the sly guy?
Eugene: It is. I wouldn't want to be any character other than Jerome. When you first meet him, this appears to be your standard prankster who doesn't have much incentive other than to just make pranks because they are simply funny. When you come to the mid-part of the first season, it's incredibly fun to see that he has this underlying personal problem that relates back to his family, this somewhat neglected childhood that has resulted in him being sort of a closed kind of guy. When I discovered that he was this person who had been sort of denied a real father in his life, it occurred to me that the slyness we see of Jerome is him trying to put off the fact that he is actually quite a sensitive guy.
Q: Do you have a favorite episode or scene?
Eugene: It's a comedy scene: me eating the creamed carrots. I mean, as painful as that was, and it really did hurt, it was very fun to do. I would also say that one of my favorite scenes in the second season was towards the end with Jasper. Some of the storylines that Jasper and Jerome have together are incredibly exciting. It's a very good pair. Jasper turns out to be quite a different character. He looks like a nice guy, but is actually an informant. He turns out to be quite an interesting character later in the series. So I enjoyed my scenes with him.
Q: Do you have a favorite prop from House of Anubis?
Eugene: I definitely enjoyed . . . the gem [in season 2]! Also just any prop that I have to use within the library. The library is my favorite set really. So the props I had to use in there were great.
Q: Do any of your actual experiences in boarding school come into play?
Eugene: Yeah, they do. Initially, I very strongly based Jerome on a rather unpleasant character that I knew at my boarding school, who has the same sort of social issues with his family that Jerome had. So my experience at boarding school was absolutely very important for that. And also, very often I had a room buddy rather like Alfie or like Alex – you know, this incredibly wacky, funny but sort of easy-to-con kind of guy. So boarding school was important for me to have a better understanding of the show.
Q: Were you ever bullied at boarding school?
Eugene: Yeah. It was three years of subtle but intense bullying that was orchestrated by one character who had a real problem with me, and essentially used people's fear of him to turn them against me. He was a kind of ringleader who turned about 10 of my friends against me, and I left with no real friends. But as sad as that sounds, I learned a lot, you know, and it happens to the best of us. Everyone to some degree has been bullied at school. I think the most important thing is you take something away from it, an understanding of people and how shallow they can be sometimes.
A lot of attention was drawn towards me because I arrived as "the actor." I was called Eugene Simon, Child Actor. I never really got the opportunity to be me because I was labeled. [After that] when I went to my new boarding school, I loved it because I never told anybody that I was an actor. I allowed them to get to know me first, and then one day one of my friends said, "Eugene, are you in something called My Family and Other Animals?" And then they all suddenly found out that I was an actor. But they got to know me by this point. They knew who I was, not what I was, which is important.
Q: What's your favorite American fast food?
Eugene: One of the first days [in L.A.], I went to In-N-Out Burger and it was unbelievable. I got a Double-Double with a vanilla milkshake and fries, and I almost cried, it was so good.
Q: What is the best advice you ever got?
Eugene: A friend of mine said to me, "Eugene, you must remember something. Having agents, having managers, having publicists, this is obviously very useful. But don't forget that even without these guys, nothing can stop you. Nothing can stop you."
That's great advice! Nothing can stop you! What do you think? Are you a fan of Eugene in House of Anubis? Leave a Comment!

Lander Field Office
|Release Date: 03/28/13
BLM Lander Seeks Input on Bison Basin Development
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lander Field Office is seeking public comments on two projects: one is a proposed nine-well steam injection secondary oil recovery (SOR) project; and the second is a 3-D seismic geophysical survey. The projects are on public land in the Bison Basin approximately 20 miles south of Sweetwater Station, Wyo. They are located within BLM Wyoming Greater sage-grouse core area.
Richardson Operating Company submitted a proposal to implement a secondary steam injection program in the West Bison Basin Unit to enhance the recovery of oil in the area. Included in the proposal are nine oil production wells and associated well pads, access roads and pipelines. An existing steam facility will also be used to accommodate the installation of the secondary oil recovery steam injection program. The project is expected to take approximately 20 years.
Dawson Geophysical Company, on behalf of Richardson Operating Company, has submitted a proposal to conduct a 3-D seismic geophysical survey to examine sub-surface geologic structure below 15.5 square miles, or 9920 acres, of BLM surface in the Bison Basin. The proposal includes: deploying seismic vibrator trucks, utility terrain vehicles, ground crews, staging areas, source lines, source points, receiver lines and receiver stations. This project is expected to last approximately six months.
The Lander Field Office will prepare two environmental assessments (EAs) to analyze the impacts of the proposed projects. Information, including maps of the areas, can be found on the website at www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/info/NEPA/documents/lfo/BisonBasin3D-SOR.html.
Public input is valuable early in the process and will enable the BLM to develop well-informed EAs. Comments should be submitted by April 25, 2013, and may be emailed to email@example.com ; please include "Bison Basin 3D-SOR" in the subject line. Comments may also be mailed to Bureau of Land Management, Lander Field Office, Attn: Andrew Gibbs, 1335 Main Street, Lander, WY 82520.
Before including your address, phone number, email address or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
For more information, please contact BLM Natural Resource Specialist Andrew Gibbs at 307-332-8400.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

This theory fills in major holes involving Yondy, Naruto, and the kyuubi. To be specific, how the FTG works, how Minato split the kyuubi's chakra then seal only the yang half in baby Naruto as well as make a key to tighten the seal, why Naruto shouldn't use "that" jutsu, and why Minato chose to seal the kyuubi in his newborn son.
My japanese horrible but I have pick up on the name meanings. Well, we all know that rasengan means spiraling sphere, with rasen- meaning spiral and -gan meaning sphere. But -gan also means eye. So rasengan could be a doujutsu as well as a technique.
We all know that there are three great doujutsu in Naruto, with each one corresponding to a type of jutsu.
But what about Fuuinjutsu? Shouldn't there be a technique for that too? In my opinion there is. The Rasengan (from here on, (R)asengan is the doujutsu, (r)asengan is the technique) seems to fit the bill.
Where's the proof? When Sandaime sealed Orochimaru's arms, he was struggling the whole time. So how did Yondaime manage to split AND seal the powerful kyuubi in Naruto? Well if the Rasengan were able to see chakra flow, nature flow, and the chakra network, then Yondaime would've been able to find the quickest way to split the kyuubi's chakra then seal the yang portion in Naruto so that the kyuubi's chakra flow into Naruto could be controlled with a "key". Now Yondaime probably summoned the key toad and made the key before he sealed the kyuubi. If that were the case, then the Rasengan probably made Fuuinjutsu as easy as doodles to the user, to the point where Yondaime could plan out the key seal in advance and keep Naruto a safe distance away during the sealing process.
Now Yondaime probably knew that if he possessed the Rasengan, then Naruto was very likely to as well. And if Naruto awakened the Rasengan, he might be able to control the seal without needing the key to do so. Maybe that's why Jiraiya asked the key toad to seal himself in Naruto if he died or whatever. He might have thought that the pain of his death might awaken Naruto's Rasengan. But we have yet to see.
"That" jutsu is a very touchy subject. But if Jiraiya did teach Naruto a jutsu that he shouldn't use, maybe Naruto needs to fufill a requirement first, like awakening the Rasengan. This jutsu is probably a Fuuinjutsu that can control the kyuubi's seal. But to do so requires severe chakra control otherwise the seal might loosen too much, releasing the kyuubi. Jiraiya probably found this out when he was training Nauto over 2-1/2 years. But naruto lacked chakra control resulting in the seal loosening a little too much, causing Naruto's frequent tail growth. Jiraiya probably told Naruto about the Rasengan so in the event that he awakened it, he could control "that" jutsu.
I also mentioned that the Rasengan would be able to see the chakra and nature flow, as well as the chakra network. If Minato infused his FTG shiki(?) with the right amount of chakra/nature, the shiki would light up like a beacon to someone with the Rasengan. This helps you confirm that you marked your target, as well as give you the correct destination when using the FTG. If that were the case, this might explain why noone (except possibly Tobi) has copied or learned it. If it could be copied, Kakashi would be constantly using it!
Plus if the Rasengan doesn't exist, then Naruto's up a creek without a paddle, because Pein has the Rin'negan, and Tobi and Sasuke have Sharingan, possibly even MS. The only way Naruto would stand a chance is if he awakened his father's lost doujutsu.
So what do you think? Good or bad? Or really bad (please say no!)?

The Biggest problem with Tobi = Obito is the Timeline and this:-
If The above is True, The Tobi Cannot Ever Ever be Obito. Tobi <> Obito.
Now Tobi=Obito fans will rush to claim that Tobi is a liar. Well right now I can't prove his veracity on this matter, but we are getting closer and closer to the truth. We'll find out soon enough.
Also looking at the page below:-
Kabuto knows that Tobi is not quite exactly literally Madara. Tobi also knows that Kabuto knows. Yet, Tobi INSISTS that the Rinnegans were "Mine to begin with"
Assume for a moment that Tobi is not Lying Lying Lying, actually I don't think he lies much except if it's neccessary to manipulate someone essential. Tobi Could be telling the truth to Kabuto and Konan if:
1) a part of him really is Madara
2) if he is Izuna, the Madara Took his eyes from him, the eyes that became Rinnegans are quite literally Tobi's eyes.
From now on and until the TRUTH comes out, My Chice is Tobi = Izuna ( Or an aspect or piece/part of Madara himself). I hope Kishimoto also explains the matter of Tobi becoming Complete.
