Pioneer Computers has released a dual digital PCI TV tuner at the keen price of $199. It claims the device is an Australian first.
With the FIFA World Cup coming in June and matches featuring the Australian team to be held mostly in the daytime, the DreamVision Dual Digital TV Tuner will make sure no important sporting moments are missed.
The DreamVision Dual Digital TV Tuner is a set of two digital TV receivers which receive television on the DVB-T format, and can be used to watch and record digital TV shows under Windows XP Media Centre Edition (MCE).
As the device's name suggests, it contains two complete TV tuners, each with its own hardware MPEG encoder. MCE users can choose to watch TV with the MyTV button on MCE, watch one TV show while recording another using the built-in dual digital MPEG encoders, or record two TV shows at once. The device allows pausing of live TV, replay and skip forward while another TV show continues to be recorded to a PC's hard disk.
The device is Viiv and Microsoft Vista ready. When Vista is released, Pioneer Computers' DreamVision Media Centre PC will be able to accommodate two Digital Dual TV Tuners, meaning users will be able to simultaneously view and record up to four TV channels with full PVR capabilities. Clearly, this provides new levels of digital entertainment capture capabilities.
The DreamVision Dual Digital TV Tuner is also available as an option for build-to-order DreamVision Media Centre PC.
Australians will have to acquire digital televisions or digital receivers by 2009, as by then the Federal Government plans to shut the decades-old old existing analogue television system.

Human-Centered Design
The next online frontier is how technology adapts to us. When companies are disrupted by new technologies or demographic shifts, their problems still have people at their heart wrote Tim Brown, president and CEO of the innovation and design firm IDEO. "They require a human-centered, creative, iterative, and practical approach to finding the best ideas and ultimate solutions. … By [human-centered design], I mean that innovation is powered by a thorough understanding, through direct observation, of what people want and need in their lives and what they like or dislike about the way particular products are made, packaged, marketed, sold, and supported."
"A human-factors approach assumes that the things we'll carry in the future are not going to be invented so much as discovered—that the answer to the question of what devices we'll carry will become obvious as we learn more about human behavior," explained Claire Tristram in Technology Review. Therefore, as mobile and multisensory devices proliferate and alternative economies grow, media organizations will find the best path forward by following its users. (more…)

Mold impacts human health and the structural integrity of a home. If you find mold [1]growing anywhere in your home, you must take immediate action by killing and removing the mold [2]. By carefully cleaning the infected area, you can also help prevent the mold from returning.
The extent and type of mold will determine whether you can handle the mold clean up yourself or need the assistance of a mold removal professional. Following are house mold clean up tips from The Money Pit's air quality expert, Jeff May [3].
Alt=mold remediationWhen to handle mold clean up yourself. Small mold clean up [4] jobs--defined as "ten square feet or less" of mold growth by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Disease Epidemiology--can be tackled by occupants, as long as there is no one present who is sensitive to mold. Larger clean up jobs should be handled by professionals. Before you tackle any mold problem, however, gather information (refer to the EPA publication, "A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home" [5]) and see your physician.
Selecting a qualified mold removal professional. To find a qualified mold removal professional, ask for references from your insurance company and a mold removal contractor's past clients, and seek information from professional training and certification organizations such as the American Indoor Air Quality Council [6] and the Indoor Air Quality Association [7]. Jeff also has a lot of information about professional remediation in Chapter 11 of his book The Mold Survival Guide: For Your Home and for Your Health (www.myhouseiskillingme.com [8]). Specialized training is important in mold removal work, so find out what sort of education and certification a contractor has before allowing him to get started killing mold in your house.
Insurance coverage for mold removal. To determine coverage of mold clean up services [9], carefully review your policy or ask your insurance agent. Be aware that mold remediation [10] can be very expensive, more and more insurance companies are instituting coverage limits or charging extra for mold riders.
According to mold expert Jeff May [8], one of his clients did have mold coverage in her insurance policy, but once the work was completed and paid for, her insurance company terminated her policy because she was now "high risk". Then her lender considered her mortgage in default because she didn't have insurance. So if the cost isn't too high, I'd be cautious about asking your insurance to pay for a house mold clean up, because it's a slippery slope.
Alt=House Mold Clean UpPreventing the return of mold. It's important to remember that the micro fungi known as mold and mildew are living organisms. Mildew can grow within 24 to 48 hours whenever air, moisture (from leaks, spills, high relative humidity and condensation) and food sources (including skin scales and insect body parts in dust, starch and cellulose in drywall, cardboard and paper) are present. Cleaning will help kill the mildew, but it will likely reappear unless you change the conditions that were conducive for the mildew to grow in the first place.
How do you do that? Control moisture, including relative humidity, and you control mold growth [11]. Keep below-grade spaces consistently heated to at least 60 degrees in the cooler months and dehumidified to below 50% relative humidity in the warmer months. Repair leaks as soon as they are discovered, don't over-water plants and avoid over-humidifying your home [12], and you'll prevent the return of mold [13] and never have to worry about killing mold and mold spores or house mold clean up [14].

On Dec. 15, UtahAmerican Energy Inc. announced that the company had temporarily reduced its workforce by 114 employees effective Dec. 14.
According to the company's press release, the layoff comes as a result of increasing levels of methane gas at UtahAmerican's Tower Mine.
"We regret the temporary reduction in employment," stated Bruce Hill, director and chief executive officer of Utah American. "But it is unavoidable as we accomplish remediation work to address the methane buildup just encountered. We have started drilling additional degasification holes vertically from the surface as well as horizontally from the coal seam."
"We are also boring a 16-foot air shaft and installing a 1,500 horsepower blowing fan on the shaft for additional ventilation and methane control. In addition, the entire power distribution system is being upgraded to accommodate the increased electrical demand associated with the ventilation changes. The work is projected to be finished by March 31, 2007 and we are hopeful full production can resume by April, 2007," continued Hill.
In interviews conducted in October with Bob Murray, the president and chief executive officer of Murray Energy Corporation indicated that UtahAmerican was reviewing the operation at Tower to assess the methane problem, but had no plans for halting coal production at the mine at that time. Murray Energy is UtahAmerican's parent company.
In an interview on Dec. 18. Murray reported that the 114 laid off miners included workers at the company's Tower, West Ridge and Crandall Canyon, (Genwal) mines.
"We would not have had to lay these people off if we could have gotten our permits from the Department of Oil, Gas and Mining for the Lila Canyon," pointed out Murray. "We have told them that we want to see permitting by the middle of January. If we don't get a response, we are going to seek litigation."
The company's press release went on to state that, "while any reduction in manpower is always unfortunate, we particularly regret the timing of this layoff being near the holidays. The layoff was caused by the sudden increase in methane levels and our deep concern for the safety of our employees takes priority over any other consideration."
That regret is felt by the laid off miners as well.
"I knew something was coming," said Jarred Jaramillo, who worked on the longwall at the West Ridge mine. "Why are we cleaning out our lockers and taking the scan cards out of our helmets if we are going to be back in a couple of months?"
UtahAmerican purchased the Tower mine last August as part of the company's acquisition of all the operations of Andalex Resources. The Tower division has been operating in the Book Cliffs coal reserve since 1980.
Over time, the methane emissions have grown into a problem for the mine.
Methane is a naturally occurring gas liberated from the coal seam during mining.
Company officials indicated the methane gas build up has become hazardous and must be remedied for the mine to return to full production.
Conventional room and pillar techniques with continuous miners were used at the Carbon County operation until 1994, when a longwall system was installed.
The room and pillar techniques continued until 2001, when the operation changed to continuous miners with mobile roof support technology.
The longwall mining system was reinstalled in 2004 and according to company officials it has never performed to the systems potential due to methane gas emissions.
Delynn Fielding, economic development director for Carbon County, addressed the impact of the layoff Monday.
While the situation is devastating to affected employees, Fielding indicated that a layoff of the size in question for a four-month period of time will not be devastating to the county's economy.
"Right now, the economy is very strong. And depending on the skill sets of the miners affected, they will make the decisions to stay or leave on an individual basis," pointed out Fielding.

The Cascade M11 Pro helmet with cage is an upgraded version of the 2011 model with its new low profile design and enhanced 360° fit.
Cascade has teamed up with the great Hall of Fame NHL player Mark Messier to create Messier Project. The Messier Project was created to address the issue of concussions in hockey, by effective product development and a public awareness campaign. The M11 Pro helmet was created as part of the Messier Project to help reduce concussions and offer top level protection.
The M11 Pro hockey helmet features Seven Technology. The Seven Technology system uses a new liner system to absorb maximum energy and almost instantly return to the original positioning. The Seven Technology is perfect for the sport of hockey, due to the that hockey is a multiple impact sport. According to Cascade the M11 Pro helmet offers 26% better performance on first impacts, 107% better on second impacts, and 140% better on third impacts when compared to conventional EPP foam helmets. The Seven Technology is able to regenerate to the original position faster than traditional EPP foam offering increased performance on multiple impacts.
The M11 Pro hockey helmet is also constructed out of a one-piece shell design, which is lower and more streamlined than the previous model. This shell design also reduces direct energy transfer. Cascade has upgraded its fit system to the ProFit2™, which features a 15 point micro adjustment ratchet system to adjust the size of the helmet. This is an easy tool-free system on the back of the helmet offering a personalized fit.
The M11 Pro helmet cage combo comes with the Cascade certified face cage. This is a traditional steel wire cage design. Cascade has used a neutral gray color for enhanced vision.

Who remembers the 1996-97 playoffs?
December 10 2007 04:48PM
You remember, don't you? Edmonton vs. Dallas in the first round. A constant back-and-forth struggle to win the series. Finally, in game seven, an overtime goal by Todd Marchant, and a huge upset win for the Oilers! The kind-of glory days...
Well, it's not a Cup final. And we don't have to worry about facing the Avs in the next round, and subsequently losing to them. But we do have the Stars to contend with tonight. And two games of horrible third periods. And a piss-poor record of playing the Stars, as the CBC points out:
"[...] the Oilers have stumbled against the Stars since the 1998-99 NHL season. Since then, Dallas sports a 22-6-3 record with one tie against Edmonton, including an 11-game run from 1999-2004 when it won 10 games against the Oilers."
But! We've also upset the Stars, as I said. Let's hope for another one of those tonight. Go Oil!
And keep it up, Horcoff!
I remember it well... I think I was at game five. And my chest was painted with an "O". And I totally didn't get laid. It was an injustice.
But we won game five. So, in a sense, everyone got laid that night. I think.

Tyra Banks Says 5 - 1 = 3
Apparently Tyra Banks and Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley have a web show called "Fa-Fa-Fa Fashion," in which they feint and shriek and perform trippy skits about Tyra pissing herself. (A reenactment of this?)
In the latest episode, they discuss high heels, prompting Tyra to break out the arithmetic. To get the "real" height of platform heels, the Harvard Business School student explains at 1:30 in the video on your right, you have to subtract the height of the platform from the height of the heel:
So, say the height of the heel is five inches. Whoo, five-inch stilettos, I could never wear those! But if you have an inch or an inch-and-a-half platform, that heel is really just three-and-a-half, or three inches! Get it? It's math, baby.
Stylite points out that Tyra's math is wrong: 5 inches - 1 inch = 4 inches, not 3 inches.
As much as I'd like to ridicule this, it's sort of an easy mistake to make when you're on the spot. I suspect Tyra frequently makes mistakes when she's vamping for cameras, because how can you stay focused when you're contorting your face like that? For better or worse, the lady is mesmerizing. [Stylite, Fa-Fa-Fa Fashion]

Using haptic feedback, Lumoback buzzes and nudges you when you're slouching. Alice Truong reports.
Forty hours each week is a huge chunk of time to be miserable. To upgrade the office life, Surf Report scours for gadget splurges to make workplace more enjoyable.
Perfect posture
Sitting at a desk all day can be wearing on your posture. Because Mom isn't there to nag you, there's Lumoback.
A back sensor worn like a belt, Lumoback ($149) uses tactile feedback to buzz and nudge you into better position. Connected to your iPhone over Bluetooth, the sensor works with an app that shows a stick figure representation of yourself, highlighting your movements and positions (sitting, standing, walking, lying down) in real time. When the stick figure, Lumo, is green, keep up the great work. But when it's orange and looking a bit sad, the sensor will vibrate, prodding you to stop slouching. Because posture is something most people don't think about, that gentle reminder is exactly what's needed.
In addition to visualizing your stance, the app assigns your posture a score each day, breaking down your sitting and standing habits. The information is also charted over time, with the hope that these analytics will shape smarter habits with greater awareness of and insight to your body.
While we're on the subject of aches and pains, Trigger Point Performance's Grid Mini ($25) is a petite foam roller that can be easily stashed in an office drawer. With the Grid Mini, which measures 5 inches tall by 5.5 inches in diameter, you can massage away tension throughout the body with the roller's 3-D Distrodensity Zones, a pattern that helps blood and oxygen flow through muscles while creating muscle elasticity. If you're the type to squeeze in gym time during your lunch break, the Grid Mini is also an effective device to speed recovery and prevent fitness-related injuries.
Clean air
Some people can't work unless they're perfectly comfortable. An air purifier leveraging NASA technology, Airocide reduces bacteria, mold and other allergens in homes and offices.
The technology inside Airocide has an interesting backstory. Developed by NASA and the University of Wisconsin, the air purification system was created to eliminate ethylene gas, which is produced by plants and quickens the ripening process. By eliminating 99% of ethylene gas from the air, the FDA-approved technology is often used by stores and florists to extend the shelf life of produce and flowers. The technology, licensed by NASA to Airocide, has also been found to eliminate Volatile Organic Compounds, pollen, dust mites, viruses, mold, bacteria and other pollutants. In office settings, Airocide says its purifier reduces bacteria and mold by 72% on average.
To avoid introducing unfiltered air from outside, Airocide is best suited in a room where the windows remain shut. Because windows are the only way for me to ventilate my apartment (when it's hot or when I'm cooking), I had a few false starts testing the unit. Eventually, I left town for a week, leaving Airocide on high; its two other modes are low and auto, the latter of which turns down the strength of the fan based on the brightness of the ambient light. When I returned, the apartment smelled sterile like a hotel room, but it was only a matter of time until I relented and cracked open a window again (it is summer, after all). Airocide CEO Mike Freedman tells me it can take up to six weeks to see allergy symptoms dissipate, and the effect is most obvious in pet households.
Indeed, at $700, Airocide is quite an office splurge, but it's a smart option for pet-friendly workplaces that want their furry creatures and human allergy suffers to peacefully coexist.
Slim drive packs more
Hard drives come with a lot of extras these days, but what captures people's attention is size: both internal storage as well as external dimensions.
Updating its previous super-thin drive, Toshiba introduced the Canvio Slim II ($115-$150) in June. For the most part, the drive has remained the same: It features a sleek brushed aluminum exterior in black or silver, matching the style of ultrabooks. It's capable of transferring up to 5 Gbps on USB 3.0 and up to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. It bundles 10 GB of cloud storage and backup software that lets users access files remotely.
Yet what's most remarkable about the drive is that Toshiba has managed to cram in a full terabyte. This comes at a cost though: For an extra 500GB of storage, the drive has increased in thickness by almost 4 millimeters, measuring 4.21-by-2.95-by-0.35 inches. (The 500GB version carries the same dimensions as its predecessor.) To be sure, the difference is noticeable, but it's hard to complain when a drive packs in so much in a form factor that still fits in your back pocket.
Keeping track of time
Stuck in the office? We can't do anything about that, but at least the GOgroove BlueSYNC TYM ($60) speaker clock can remind you you're late for dinner.
The all-in-one Bluetooth speaker is donned in a lovely wooden exterior and features a pair of speakers on both sides. Such placement is somewhat strange, but it keeps with the overarching minimalist design, prominently featuring the time and temperature in LED lettering while hiding the speakers in plain sight. Likewise, most of the controls are etched into the wood on the top of the alarm clock, allowing you to control volume, pause, play and answer calls, and a few buttons on the back allow you to adjust the time and set alarms. Though the clock is capable of filling a room with audio over Bluetooth or hardwire, a slight hiss can be audible when listening at a close distance. At the end of the day, although this alarm clock/Bluetooth speaker/indoor weather monitor claims to do it all, the functionality remains pretty basic and it's the aesthetics that shine as its most attractive feature.

Finding Joe
Finding Joe is an exploration of famed Mythologist Joseph Campbell's studies and their continuing impact on our culture. Through interviews with visionaries from a variety of fields interwoven with enactments of classic tales by a sweet and motley group of kids, the film navigates the stages of what Campbell dubbed The Hero's Journey: the challenges, the fears, the dragons, the battles, and the return home as a changed person. Rooted in deeply personal accounts and timeless stories, Finding Joe shows how Campbell's work is relevant and essential in today's world and how it provides a narrative for how to live a fully realized life - or as Campbell would simply state, how to "follow your bliss".

19 March 2016, 14:00 - 15:00

Out-of-body experiences, in which one's self seems to leave one's physical body, are commonly associated with near-death experiences, but can occur in many other situations, with various causes. Dr Jane Aspell, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, will discuss the latest neuroscientific explanations of these puzzling phenomena, and will explain why the science of out-of-body experiences can inform theories of how the brain creates the everyday experience of one's self inhabiting a body.

Nazem Kadri Interview
Andrey Osadchenko
February 12 2012 12:39PM
Editor's Note : This is an interview courtesy of the Nations' roving Russian Reporter Andrey Osadchenko ( @aosadchenko )
The best part of your season production-wise so far was probably November and early December. Why would you say your production went downhill since then?
I don't know if it went downhill. I wouldn't put it that way. Obviously, I was up and down. My production hasn't been constant because I wasn't in the same league. I was just playing simple, tried to get some pucks deep and also getting bounces. As a hockey player sometimes you can do things right and not score. And then you would all of a sudden have a great game and product 4-5 points. It definitely goes both ways.
Why did you get so many points in November then? Did it have anything to do with your mindset before the season?
No, in all honesty my mindset never changes. Whether I'd down here or whether I'm up, I just keep trying to work as hard as I can. Sometimes you're getting the bounces that you need and sometimes you're just not. And when you're not you've got to work as hard as you can to get back to where you were. I played with some great hockey players and still am. I think maybe I should go to the net a little bit more. Maybe then I'll get luckier.
Obviously enough, you're still a young player. What was your objective going into this season? Was it more of a I-need-to-be-on-the-Leafs sort of mentality or you just hoped to get as many games in the NHL as you could?
Ever since I was drafted my mentality is to play in the NHL. That's the goal. My goal is never accomplished until I've established myself as a full-time player in the NHLI mean, I just turned 21 a few months ago. Obviously, I've got to take some learning curves. And we got some extra bodies up there. I can assure I'm not going to be a disappointment. I'm going to be what everybody's expecting.
How different is AHL Nazem Kadri from the NHL Nazem Kadri?
I don't know if there really is much difference. Maybe I'm not touching the puck as much in the NHL. Up there the puck is never on my stick for more than 2 seconds. You get it and you're getting right back. While here you can hold on to it a little more, try to make some plays and step up for your team. I really don't think the things change so much. The fundamentals are still there. This is what they want to see when they're calling me back up.
A lot of players say that they find it easier to play in the NHL because up there playing side-by-side with some elite pros they know exactly what they need to do, while in the AHL everything tends to be more spontaneous.
Very true. I think in the NHL everyone is just in the right spot in the right time. It's almost like you don't have to look when you pass the puck. You just make the play. Sometimes you don't even pay attention and the puck ends up on your stick because everyone makes the right plays. Down here it's a little bit harder. It's more of a grinders game, I guess. More chirping the pucks, more forechecks... It's just something you have to adapt to and I've done a pretty good job so far.
Did you have to adjust somehow to come out and play against such players as Pavel Datsyuk, Evgeny Malkin, Sidney Crosby, etc? Or that sort of thing just came to you naturally?
It's huge playing against those guys. I've been watching them forever - since I've been wanting to play in the NHL. And then you line up against them, you across the face-off circle with them... it comes as a little bit of shock at first but you're end up getting used to this. You just have got to focus on your game. When I'm on the bench I'm always trying to watch better players. I'm trying to see what they do well just in case I can take a few pointers from them.
Is there a player on the Leafs that you look up to like that?
They're all good players, I think, really. Obviously, the most skilled guys that I think I model my play after are Lups - he's a big presence, can handle the puck and shoot the puck, he's got good vision - also Phil...These are just 2 great players that I try model myself after. Like I said, you learn not only when you're not playing. When you're on the ice, you're into the game, you're watching what's going on. Sometimes they make plays that definitely catch you off guard and you kind of just go 'Wow!'. That's what I'm going to try to be. I know what I've got to do. I've got to watch and learn.
You recently played against Evgeny Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. What was that like? Is he really the best player in the world right now?
He's definitely right now. Hands down. I'd say for sure. This game in Pittsburgh was kind of a freak accident. We dominated most of the game and kept them off the score sheet. We contained them for about 55 minutes and in the last 5 minutes he found a way to score a goal, even the game up and sent it to overtime. That's what great players do. Even though the first 55 minutes of the game didn't go their way, they bounce back and come out to be a big part of it.
You weren't sent down for the first time. Is this time any different?
Not really. I'm getting used to the feeling. Obviously, it's not the feeling that I enjoy. I understand I think better than anyone else that my future is bright. I think the management realizes the potential. I understand. It's just business. It gets complicated. I know I'm still in their plans so I'm going to work as hard as I can to be the best player as I can.

This interview shows a lot of confidence but hopefully it's not so much window dressing. He still has things to work on his game and this is a great time to do it while the team still has him in their plans.
It'll be interesting to see if they blow a hole in the lineup for him next year.

Student Residency
To qualify as a resident student, state law requires that a student establish a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington for a period of one year, for purposes other than educational, prior to the start of the semester or quarter for which the student intends to register. Washington's public colleges and universities are required to apply uniform rules in determining whether a student pays resident or nonresident tuition.
The following are three areas of residency determination that cover special circumstances:
Undocumented students or non-immigrant visa holders
Presumed undocumented students or non-immigrant visa holders who meet certain criteria are eligible for resident student status and resident tuition rates. To qualify, students must complete an affidavit promising to apply for permanent residency in the United States at the earliest possible opportunity and indicating a willingness to engage in activities necessary to acquire citizenship.
Students in Oregon border counties
Students who live in 13 Oregon border counties are eligible for resident tuition rates at some Washington community colleges and at Washington State University Vancouver and Tri-Cities under certain conditions.
Pacific Islanders
A report titled Residency Determination for Tuition Purposes and Basic Financial Aid Eligibility can assist in determining resident eligibility for Pacific Islanders. In addition, Financial Aid eligibility for Pacific Islanders is reviewed. The information was compiled from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, State Department sources, and Washington State statutes.

Out of the Blue
March 29 2012 08:03AM
This is Justin Schultz. In terms of adding a possible free agent for the Oilers this off-season, there are many things that make him an ideal target for the team.
So far during our look at solutions to the Oilers blue, we've concentrated on UFA's, RFA's and possible trade partners. In this case, we're looking at a young man who may be about to use a loophole in the system to gain free agency before his first pro game.
I'm not going to go too far into the technicality that allows UFA status, but the current CBA says a player like Schultz can in fact inform his school (Wisconsin) he's leaving, wait until summer when the option becomes available, and then sign a contract with one of the 30 available NHL teams.
There are limits on the dollars that can be spent for this player, so there's nothing terribly unique about Edmonton's offer in the form of cash. They do have an interesting opportunity for the young man, expressed well by Bob McKenzie last night in the NHL on tsn quiz. The question was:
Who is most likely to sign unrestricted free agent defenceman & blue-chip prospect Justin Schultz of Wisconsin?
McKenzie: I'll say the Edmonton Oilers because I think this Kelowna kid would be happy to play in Canada. I also think it would be great for him to grow old with guys like Ryan Nugent Hopkins, Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall and he's the missing piece of the puzzle in Edmonton: power play quarterback.
Schultz is being described as one of the best prospects in the game, and his scouting report suggests a wide range of skills including size and speed. His Desjardins NHLE--the number implied by his current NCAA season if placed into the NHL--is 82, 15-25-40. In other words, he'd be at the front of the line offensively for the Oiler group (I'd also include Whitney and Petry as players who could hit 40 points from the current roster).
This recalls the old Oilers, the Sather Oilers. They pulled more good defensemen out of nowhere than Carter has liver pills. In fact, the golden era of Oiler hockey featured some guys who didn't hit the big time on their draft day:
- Paul Coffey, taken 6th overall in 1980
- Kevin Lowe, taken 21st overall in 1979
- Charlie Huddy, signed as a free agent in 1979 after passing through undrafted
- Randy Gregg, signed October 1982 at age 26 after two years in Japan. Never drafted.
- Lee Fogolin, acquired from Buffalo at the expansion draft.
- Don Jackson, acquired in a hockey deal for Donny Murdoch.
So the Oilers got healthy in a hurry, by using the draft and several other avenues to acquire talent. Schultz would fall into the "Randy Gregg" or "Charlie Huddy" category in that he'll be available to all NHL teams.
Could mean nothing. The other 29 teams have a story to tell and Edmonton's future--while bright--is in the distance. A team like Pittsburgh, or Boston, or Vancouver could offer this player a chance to start in the penthouse and that' has some appeal.
Still, there's a chance and I'm sure the Oilers are preparing for the opportunity. There might also be some back room wheeling and dealing, whereby Edmonton sends an asset (pick or prospect) to Anaheim for the right to talk to this young man before everyone else gets a chance.
It's risky, and a little daring. Sounds like something Glen Sather might have done 30 years ago.

Shoot i for got whitney i knew something looked off. Smid garrison Whitney petry Shultz jshultz Sutton peckham Potter tuebert Klefbom and the rest
"Sounds like something Glen Sather might have done 30 years ago."
Classic. Agree completely.
Kudos, LT.
I've grown a little leery of these "best player outside the NHL" claims lately. Partly because after watching players like Bozak, Gustavsson, and Brunnstrom I've realized that being the best player outside the NHL still leaves a lot of bubble players who are perhaps better than you. (When J.F. Jacques has an NHL job, how good could Brunnstrom be, really?)
That being said, while I am a bit squeamish about the character of a player who would put the screws to the team that drafted him as Schultz appears to be doing, the fact that he was drafted and developed in an NHL system and, were he an Oilers prospect, likely have played some NHL games this year, leads me to believe that he would indeed be a valuable addition.
If he were to sign (and I'm not holding out hope like I did for Viktor Fasth - whatever happened to him?) then he almost immediately makes Peckham and Potter expendable and probably pushes Chorney and Plante out of the system as well.
As for Bigos leaving, I guess I would have to think of it this way: would we win a trade of J. Schultz for Bigos?
For anyone thinking that Tambellini doesn't like the bold moves: we do remember that he traded Vishnovsky for Whitney, tried to sign Hossa, and offered Smid, Penner and Cogliano for Heatley, right? I wouldn't put this outside of his abilities, but I suspect that he won't do a deal unless it is in the best long-term interests of the Oilers.
I hear what you are saying but ask yourself this:
If you had the choice between going to a team like the Oilers and making $800,000 playing in our top 7 d-men next season or signing with the Ducks and potentially making $80,000 playing for their AHL team because you wouldn't have as much of an opportunity to make the top 7 d-men, which would you choose?
$720,000 is life changing money!
I'd prefer to think of it as a good ol' Canadian kid choosing to play hockey in his home country :), not screwing the team that drafted him.
Maybe LT should be in charge of scouting.
I would like to think someone will put a charge up the GM's *ss and something creative and progressive will be done and soon. The D has only three reliable players going forward imo (Smid, Petry and Schultz). The other three positions are up for grabs as far as I am concerned. Signing Potter and Sutton looks to me that Tamby is trying to avoid doing anything in the coming year regardless of what he says about this summer.
Yes, sign up Jeff Schultz. Draft a forward, either Gregerenko or Galchenyuk who is also not small. Also with the prospects of Fedun at camp this fall and I am getting excited already with the new developments. Now just sign J. Schultz.
Sure would be nice to know if we could sign him BEFORE the draft. Do we still go for Murray/Dumba/other defensive stud if we get Schultz? I would think that Schultz would take Murray's spot and that we have enough goodies on the shelf (Kelfbomb...etc.) that maybe Murray wouldn't be the most effective pick.
I worry that we are running low on quality farm forwards. Draft a forward with our high pick, then draft a D. No?
Unfortunately, the draft is first.
According to this article, he's a UFA on June 1st (before the draft).

Money is a universal language.
Katz needs to open that petty cash drawer and slip a 2 million dollar incentive bonus Justins way to put the Oilers offer at the forefront of his mind when the time comes.
As for the rest of that two yr agreement it could go by the book. A token fair well offering like this would go along way to having him lean towards the Oiler offer.
If you ain't cheatin, you ain't competing....period.

@Quicksilver ballet
I agree.
A question though, is it allowed to say give Hemmer a 4 million dollar cheque to appear in a Rexall commercial? Then sign a 2 year 6M deal?
I would think no, but never know.

@Time Travelling Sean
I think the teams that can afford it are doing alot of this kind of stuffs. The cap is more or less just a guideline for the haves in this league. While the gettin's good, the Oilers need to take more advantage of this unspoken language.

*Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have been wondering if he is any relation to Nick Schultz. If he is then acquiring him in that trade for Gilbert shows more foresight than we could see then.
I'm hoping that is the case as it would give him a big reason to choose us, that no other team has. That was what I thought Bob McKenzie he was going to say as one of the reasons for choosing us - but didn't.
