The price of gold is falling sharply again Thursday morning, sending the most actively traded gold futures to the lowest price in over a week.
Gold futures are down by 1.8% to $1,325 after nosediving on heavy trading volume around 8 a.m. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is off by 1.1% in premarket activity. Silver futures are slumping 4.7%, to $21.93, dragging iShares Silver Trust (SLV) 3.3% lower ahead of the open.
There's no obvious morning headline but there remains the dampened investor risk appetite after Federal Reserve policymakers issued fewer gloomy statements than usual in their Wednesday's statement, which prompted the dollar's gains, and gold's turn lower, Wednesday afternoon.
Here's how Commerzbank's commodity strategists read the Fed statement:
Following publication of the statement after the FOMC meeting, the US dollar appreciated against the euro, thus weighing on precious metal prices. Clearly, some market players expect the Federal Reserve to scale back its bond purchases in the near future. That said, the Fed made virtually no changes to its statement that would justify this expectation. Our economists still believe that the Fed will announce a reduction in its bond purchasing programme in March/April.
Gold-mining stocks are set for a decline, with Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) losing 2.4% before the open. Fast-trading tools Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are set up for sharp moves, with each moving roughly 7% apiece in premarket activity.

Unitex/GramLab 3.0 stable is now available
What is Unitex ?Unitex is a corpus processing system, based on automata-oriented technology. The concept of this software was born at LADL (Laboratoire d'Automatique Documentaire et Linguistique), under the direction of its director, Maurice Gross. With this tool, you can handle electronic resources such as electronic dictionaries and grammars and apply them. You can work at the levels of morphology, the lexicon and syntax. The main functions are:
What is GramLab ?GramLab IDE is an Integrated Development Environment, based on Unitex software components, designed for industrial purpose. Its main features are :
From this site, you can download Unitex/GramLab and find information about linguistic data.
You can also visit the site of the GramLab projet.
Why Unitex ?
A multilingual platform
Unitex conforms to the Unicode 3.0 standard that allows users to handle virtually all the characters of all languages, including Asian languages. The Unitex programs have been designed to work for all writing rules. There is no difficulty in working with Asian languages, in spite of their particular spacing conventions.
A multi-system software
The Unitex interface is written in Java and all other programs are written in C/C++. This allows Unitex to work on every system that supports Java 1.6 and that can compile C/C++ programs.
Unitex has been tested successfully on Windows (95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, ME and Vista) and Linux, Mac OS X and runs now on Solaris 8 Sparc.
An open source software
Versions 2.1 or newer of Unitex are freely distributed under the terms of the Lesser General Public License (LGPL). This means that everyone can redistribute Unitex freely within the terms of the LGPL license. It also means that you have access to the source code of all the Unitex programs, which is included in the zip file you download. The LGPL license is more permissive than the GPL one, because it allows you to reuse the own code of Unitex in non-free software.
Unitex is mainly developed by Sébastien Paumier at the Institut Gaspard-Monge (IGM), University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée (France). You can consult the full list of contributors in the user manual.
Unitex also benefited from years of research, experiments and publications by Maurice Gross (1989, 1997), Dominique Revuz (1992), Emmanuel Roche (1992, 1997), Max Silberztein (1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997) and other authors. Unitex would have been useless without the linguistic data (dictionaries and grammars) constructed by the laboratories of the RELEX network.
The locate pattern function was re-used from previous software known as AGLAE.
Adaption for ancient Greek was made by Claude Devis (CENTAL) who also included new code pages (Windows & ISO) in the trancoding program. Claude Devis has also introduced morphological filters into Unitex, using an Open Source regular expression library made by Ville Laurikari.
The RebuildTfst program (previously known as MergeTextAutomaton) was written by Olivier Blanc (IGM).
The Portuguese version of the manual was translated by Alexis Neme and Oto Araújo Vale (Projeto Relex - Brazil).
Integration of the ELAG program was made by Olivier Blanc.
The text editor integrated in Unitex was written by Julien Decreton, who has also developed UNDO and REDO fuctions in the graph editor.
The adaptation for Russian of the PolyLex program was made by Sebastian Nagel, who has also developed a set of Perl programs than can be used to manipulate and visualize automatically generated graphs, and other stuffs around Unitex.
The Tokenize and Dico programs were seriously optimized by Alexis Neme.
A new graph of French sentences has been realized by Anne Dister (CENTAL), Nathalie Friburger and Denis Maurel (LI, University François-Rabelais). French Proper Noun Dictionaries come from the Prolex Project of the University François-Rabelais. Today, the package contains two dictionaries: Toponyms and Countries&Capitals. More details are available on the Unitex page of the TLN website.
Tools for generation of Korean dictionaries were designed by Hyun-Gue Huh.
The Dico program was modified by Alexis Neme in order to allow the use of dictionary graphs.

11/12 NW Preview: Colorado
Robert Cleave
October 02 2011 07:09PM
Our series of division previews continues with a look at the Avalanche.
10/11 finish: 68 points, 4th in the NW, 14th in the Conference
Playoffs: none since 09/10
Key Players: Stastny, Duchene, Landeskog, Johnson, O' Reilly, Varlamov
Additions: Varlamov, Hejda, Landeskog
Subtractions: Foote, Fleischmann
Cap Position: Floored
Projected finish: in the conference's bottom four
Ah, the Avalache. A team that spent 09/10 laughing at fate got theirs and then some last season, as injuries and a return to some normal levels of luck sent them spinning down into the depths, propped up only by the Oilers. At the expense of sounding like a jerk saying "I told you so," well, I did tell them so.
The tailspin of last winter seemed to push Greg Sherman into action. After apparently spending the summer of 2010 in a stupor, he traded his number one goalie and two good young players before last season's deadline, then made one of the more controversial transactions of the summer when he traded a couple of draft picks for a talented but unproven goalie.
The Avalanche are still Paul Stastny's team up front, at least for now. If I were running a lottery as to which significant Avs player would be out of the door next, he might be the man with the shortest odds. He had a struggling season in 10/11, and although Wojtek Wolski is no superstar, he was able to manage against good players 5v5, so his absence from Stasny's side was almost certainly a detriment.
As I peruse Colorado's depth chart, other than Stastny, O' Reilly and maybe Dan Winnik, I don't see a player on the roster that I'd trust against top-sixers at EV, so the Avs' captain is in need of a bit of help if he's to resume his form as a power vs. power outscorer. As I've mentioned many times, there are no one man armies in the NHL, and unsuprisingly, Stastny couldn't manage that trick last season.
In time, I don't doubt that Matt Duchene will be very good, and David Jones seems like he might be decent enough, but the Avs are still going to be a team that need a lot of things to go right if they're going to create enough offence to compete in a difficult conference. A full season on the PP from Peter Mueller might help, as he returns after missing last year due to the after effects of suffering two concussions in a five month period.
O'Reilly and Winnik were two of the few bright spots for Colorado last year. They played middling comp last year, started in their own end a ton, and finished in the black in terms of outshooting. O'Reilly is a pretty adept player for someone still on his ELC, and his longterm outlook is as a number two center that plays the toughs.
It also appears that at least partially for cap reasons, Gabriel Landeskog will start the year in Denver. He was almost certainly the most physically mature player amongst the top picks last summer, and the word around him has always been that he was the closest to being NHL ready, even if his upside won't top out as highly as a few other players selected in St. Paul. Still, he's automatically on the team with the Avs scrambling to stay over the floor, and ready or not, that's really not optimal.
On the back end, the Avs started the remake of their defence when they acquired Erik Johnson, and their primary FA move was the addition of Jan Hejda. The former Jacket looked like he might be losing a step last year, but on a team that could use a grownup or two on D, he's likely to be a welcome addition when he gets healthy sometime next month.
A return to health by Kyle Quincey will be a bonus as well. He can play a bit, and a top three of Johnson, Hejda and Quincey is at least passable in the short term. The Roxy's favourite patron and the likes of Ryan Wilson, Matt Hunwick and Kyle Cumiskey round out the bottom of the order. As a group, that D is one that could use more talent. Duncan Siemens will be back in Saskatoon this winter, but down the line he's likely the best internal bet for a top four defender.
It's in net where the Avalanche made their biggest moves over the last year. It might seem as if they panicked a bit on Craig Anderson, but it wasn't a shock that they moved him before he bolted as a UFA. They were never that likely to resign him given their tight-fisted approach to financial matters. Combined with the fact that the relationship between the club and player was reputedly a bit shaky for most of last season, Anderson being dealt seemed inevitable once the 'Lanche hit the skids.
If Anderson's dismissal was always in the cards from roughly January onwards, what transpired this summer left most people flabbergasted. The price Colorado was willing to pay to finalize their acquisition of Semyon Varlamov was completely outside of anything we've seen in the goalie market as of late.
In fairness to the player, it isn't as if he's not potentially very good, as his EVSV% has hovered right around .930 the last two seasons. That's not applesauce, and he's only 23, so the possibility absolutely exists that he may be nowhere near his developmental peak.
As is so often the case when assessing young players, though, we're dealing with a small sample size. He's only faced about 1300 shots at EV in three seasons. Most of the top goalies in the league face that in one season, so the Avs made a significant gamble in trading away their first rounder in 2012 and a second rounder in '12 or '13 for a player that really hasn't got a track record worth trusting. If Colorado flounders, that 1st rounder might be a lottery pick in a draft reputed to be very good. That seems like a hell of a risk to bolster a position that seems to have too many players for too few jobs league wide, in my view.
I got my shot in at the top of the article, but honesty compels me to note that the Avs were improving last season at the out-shooting business before injuries sent them spiraling, and there is still room for their kids to improve, especially Duchene.
Their formula for success hasn't really changed, though. They need high end goaltending and more than their share of the bounces to be a playoff team, and they'll be relying on a young goalie that's never had to play a full year in front of a shaky team. Colorado will need the same sort of fortune as 09/10 or better to make the post-season, and the most likely result for them is a season finishing somewhere between about 12th and 15th in the West.
October 03 2011, 09:35AM
I can only assume the Varlamov acquisition means Sherman thinks he can catch lightning in a bottle again like 09-10. Of course, the other half of that equation was the rest of the team shooting lights out at ES in front of Anderson so I think his attempt to re-create the past is doomed to fail here.
I think the Varlamov trade, like the Kessel trade, will have most GMs wondering how they can manage to pull one of these off to acquire those coveted picks. Washington may end up mimicking Boston by not only competing (or even winning) the cup and drafting top 5 overall in the same year.
Sherman's moves to acquire Johnson and then the cost of Varlamov really have me thinking he'll be the most likely GM standing behind Scott Howson on the soup-line this coming summer.
Then again, he's the one who got the job and not me, so I suppose it is possible he knows more than I do.

Creating housing opportunity means Hoosiers can truly choose how and where they live: rent or own, urban or rural, close to school or close to work. It means housing in proximity to jobs, services, and amenities. In a world that has been flattened and condensed by technology, the economics of place means the most important feature of a community becomes not where it is, but what it offers. This is true for Hoosiers of all ages, abilities, and economic stations.
Because one in five Hoosiers will be 65 by 2025, IHCDA began collaborating with FSSA's Division of Aging in the fall of 2008 to develop a program, Home Again, that would provide rental assistance to seniors on Medicaid who desire to move from a nursing home back into a more independent and affordable community setting. It is estimated that 5,000-6,000 nursing home residents could make this transition based on the availability of support services, as well as the affordability and accessibility of housing.
We will continue to partner with developers to make rental units in IHCDA's portfolio affordable and accessible for nursing home residents. Other opportunities for Hoosiers to "age in place" are currently under review and we are seeking new ways to provide housing options and opportunities for seniors and those with disabilities to age in the communities of their choice.

IHCDA's Strategic Investment Process provides grant funding to qualified not for profits and also to Local Units of Government. Federal resources are available to provide improvements to owner-occupied homes.

It's Too Easy Seeing Green: $34M Reflecting Pool Edged By Algae | News
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - A sheen of unsightly pale green algae has crept into the National Mall's Reflecting Pool which reopened last month after a $34 million renovation, but the National Park Service said it is in the process of "balancing and commissioning the new Reflecting Pool water circulation, filtration, and treatment systems."
The pool's new water
circulating system gets water pumped from the Tidal Basin, which is
filtered, and treated before it flows into the renovated Reflecting Pool. The NPS says the new
system is continually circulating and treating water using ozonation, a
natural water treatment process that needs no chemicals.
NPS says the algae is "a natural consequence of taking water from Tidal Basin. The ozonation
is being adjusted, and the algae is beginning to die off." NPS has crews
skimming the pool manually to help the filtering process along and says the "adjustment phase was expected."

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Reporter
Following the surprise announcement several weeks ago that Jimmy Jones was stepping down as head football coach at Emery High School, the school announced the decision to elevate assistant football coach Kevin Reynolds to the head coach position.
Reynolds, a 1976 graduate of Emery High School, returned to the school in the fall of 1990 to teach and coach. He volunteered that first season for the Spartans and has been on the coaching staff ever since.
Reynolds, over the years, has been the sophomore coach, the receivers coach, the defensive backs coach and the junior varsity coach the past several seasons. He also coached at Skyview High School in Cache Valley while he was attending USU. In addition, he has coached wrestling at Emery High and has been the head girls track coach the past five seasons.
Reynolds said, "I applied for this job because I wanted to do it. I've always wanted to be a head football coach. I could have gone elsewhere, but I like it here. I've always wanted to stay here, I consider this home."
He continued, "I want to coach here at Emery, we have good kids and good athletes and I like football."
After spending one year at Ricks College, Kevin went on a LDS Mission to Oregon. After his two years there, he returned for another year at Ricks where he decided to be a trainer instead of a player. He had returned home five days before the season started. That year, he assisted the football team, the baseball team and the wrestling team. He moved onto BYU, where he spent a season as an assistant trainer with the football team. That was a team that included Jim McMahon as quarterback.
At that time Reynolds quit school as he was "trying to figure out life." His parents now lived in Box Elder County and he moved there. He worked for three years at Thiokol's space shuttle motor division.
After meeting his future wife Robyn, he eventually settled down and was married. He said "I deceived my wife into thinking I was a successful individual." Robyn put Kevin through the rest of college and he finally graduated in 1989, 13 full years after he graduated from EHS. They are the parents of three girls, Katie, 15, Courtney, 13, and Kylie, 7. They also have one son, Kalin, 9. They make their home in Orangeville.
Reynolds' assistants next year will be Neal Peacock, Eric Mortensen, Steven Gordon and Mark Justice. Positions have not been set as of yet. Reynolds says "the system will stay as it is, there will be no major changes now." He added, "Football will be exciting and will keep the same high standards that we have had."
Reynolds will adapt to the players that come out. All who want to play should come out, as Reynolds is anxious to prove himself and his abilities. Reynolds is holding weight training at the Spartan Center on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 7-9 a.m. and he encourages anyone wanting to play to attend these sessions although it is not required. Reynolds will begin holding practices in August and he'll put everyone to work who shows up.

In an age where technology tends to focus the attention of youth indoors, getting kids outdoors and interested in natural resource careers is even more vital today.
Since 1998, an innovative U.S. Forest Service seven-week summer program in central Montana has been achieving that goal by immersing high school students in forest management. They gather data and present findings to Forest Service officials and other representatives in their local communities.
Students involved with the Youth Forest Monitoring Program spend the summer monitoring the health of the national forests at a variety of different locations in the area, but one of the high points is their three-day trip into the Scapegoat Wilderness on the Helena National Forest northwest of Lincoln, Mont. Though the area isn't far from where many of these students have grown up, the trip gives them the opportunity to experience a protected area many had never visited before. Earlier this year, 13 students along with four field instructors were there to gather data on recreation impacts, water quality and document the spread of invasive weeds. Read more »

Philip Kevin, British Museum
Many objects discovered in the cemetery at Amara West require conservation to even allow them to be lifted, as they cannot support their own weight without consolidation.
This is particularly true with organic material, which tends to be poorly preserved in the burial conditions here. In addition to natural degradation through desiccation and the effects of termites, disturbance by looters (ancient and modern) has left objects in a very fragile condition.
The roofs of the burial chambers were often collapsed as looters entered to gain access to grave contents. The resulting fall of sharp schist gravel ripped through and crushed much of what lay below, including the coffin found in grave G309. Careful excavations by Åshild Vågene revealed traces of wood and plaster.
These coffins are constructed from wood onto which a thin layer of plaster is applied to all surfaces; this is then painted, and in some cases varnished with a plant resin. Our two coffin fragments (of 20cm by 10cm) had only tiny traces of the internal plaster remaining, but pieces of crumbly wood were still in place. The outer plaster skin has survived in better condition, and is painted.
In order to impart some strength to allow the pieces to be lifted, I started by strengthening the wood and plaster with a mixture of solvent and a synthetic adhesive. It was impossible to remove the fine sand and soil without losing original wood and plaster; even using a small blower would cause some plaster to disappear in a cloud of white dust.
Having consolidated the wood and plaster, an additional support was attached to the back (inside of the coffin) and the fragments were then lifted and returned to the expedition house where they await further treatment.
In another grave being excavated by Laurel Engbring and Michaela Binder, fragments of a Nubian-style funerary bed and a basket were revealed, and I treated them in a similar manner before lifting. A fragment of textile (approximately 10cm2) was also conserved in this grave, offering a rare chance to study the weaving technique used.
This is my first time in Sudan, and it has been fantastic – except when I missed my step clambering out of the boat in the 6.30am darkness, and ended up in the Nile.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
David Taylor from Proctor and Gamble spoke to Sen. Robert Bennett's conference goers on why they chose Utah to locate their new manufacturing plant.
P&G will invest $300 million into Utah in Box Elder County. It's just the beginning and they have room to grow and expand. Taylor said they don't usually build new plants, it's much cheaper to expand existing plants; but they were so impressed with Utah and Box Elder County they wanted a green field project and hope to enlarge upon that facility as the future presents itself. The demand for P&G products was growing at a steady rate so a new plant became feasible.
Taylor said as P&G moves into an area, then suppliers often follow them. One of the reasons they chose Utah was the outstanding people. Taylor said they produce quality products but what he believes sets them apart are the intangibles, their people with values and principals and the people of Utah are a great match for P&G.
P&G began in 1838 with the merger of a candle maker and a soap maker and they have become a major United States success story. They do business all around the world. They manufacture 300 branded products which Taylor described as superior products. One of their mottos is "Touching lives; improving life." Their company is also very innovative and always looking at new products and technology. The new factory will produce family care products including Bounty, Charmin and Puffs brands. As part of their effort to be community partners P&G donates $1.8 million in charitable donations, annually. The new facility in Box Elder County will be operational by 2010 and will employ approximately 300 people. Taylor said he has been with P&G for 28 years. He went to Duke in electrical engineering. He worked in marketing for a time before joining P&G. P&G becomes a part of the community wherever they locate.
The Box Elder site includes 720 acres and a million square foot plant will be constructed. P&G searches for a balance with their factories they work to protect their employees along with the environment. They are working with an architect who will help blend the plant with the natural landscape of the area. They are also looking at solar panels along with natural gas for energy and geothermal. They will make use of skylights in the facility to reduce energy expenditures.
Taylor said Utah was in the running for this facility along with six other sites. They chose Utah because of its centralized location west of the Rockies. They chose Utah because all of the technical requirements needed by P&G were met. They chose Utah because of the competitive prices for building along with competitive wages and a location where growth could occur.
They were also offered incentives, which made the area attractive, but Taylor said, Utah wasn't the cheapest place they were offered to build. There were other factors that made the Utah location more attractive than the locations which were merely cheaper. P&G hopes to attract workers who will grow and expand with the company.
Senior managers visited Utah and were very impressed with the colleges in the area and applied technology centers. Utah offers a quality workforce. Taylor said the Utah team of Box Elder officials, Sen. Bennett and Gov. Huntsman and state economic development employees were wonderful to work with and Utah really set itself apart. The Utah team addressed every barrier. "You can be proud of Utah's efforts," said Taylor.
Taylor said when you are trying to attract business you really need to listen to the wants and needs of that business. "Businesses are not all the same, one size does not fit all," said Taylor. "We are very convinced that we have made the right choice and Utah is the place P&G will be proud to call home. We are very committed. Together we will build an outstanding business and we look forward to a long and prosperous future in your state," said Taylor.
Taylor fielded questions from the audience at the summit. Someone wondered how P&G found the energy picture in Utah and how that effected their decision to locate here. Taylor said they found electricity and natural gas costs in Utah to be very competitive. They are also looking at branching out into alternative energies for that plant.
Taylor was asked about water usage at the manufacturing plant. He said the plant will use a good deal of water and they plan to turn back as much of that as possible. He said it is often commented on within their company that the water they turn back is a lot cleaner than they started with.
When asked about the way P&G develops new products Taylor said they look at innovative ways to do old things.
When looking at support businesses P&G has need of includes: packaging, chemicals, delivery of products, distribution of product and communications. The plant manager, Joe Tomon will identify what supply bases are needed and where the supplies will come from. Tomon will stay open and interested in what the local suppliers have to offer.
Sen. Bennett said business opportunities can arise in keeping P&G supplied and encouraged entrepreneurs and those with existing support businesses to keep that in mind as the plant becomes operational in 2010.

Recent Lake Chelan Reviews
Ciao Paolo, What a wonderful, fantastic week we had in Chelan and at Villa Florenza! An amazing home you have built - wonderfully spacious, set up so people can have privacy in their own rooms or suites, with nice bathrooms to boot, yet when everyone gathers in the kitchen/great room/patio/pool, there is still ample room to enjoy the space and not feel on top of each other. As a professional chef and restaurant owner, I was especially pleased with the kitchen and outdoor grill - incredible to have that sort of btu power in home appliances. Fantastic. Those nice tools, along with the huge island/prep area meant that I could be cooking breakfast or dinner, have lots of helpers, and lots of folks around chatting while I worked. I felt on vacation while working - perfect! The best testament to the home was the fact that we all actually enjoyed being together all week. I'm an in-law, but even my wife, connected by blood, was very dubious of this week spent with her family. Instead, we had non-stop fun and such ease and comfort. And the pool is delicious, the deck/patio around it delightful, and the overall location and position in relation to the sun perfect. Thanks so much for all the care and vision you put into Villa Florenza. I look forward to an occasion that will bring me back to Villa Florenza soon. We loved it, loved the area, and often wondered why we should even leave the grounds. Fantastic. Thanks, Paolo. -John P.

Food Processors
If a lot of your kitchen prep work involves chopping, mincing, grating or dicing, a food processor may be just what you need. This handy appliance quickly and easily does the bulk of prep work, giving you more time to focus on things outside the kitchen. Many models handle a variety of uses, from dicing an onion to blending salsa. Because the food processor is so useful, there are many variations among the makes and models available at Williams-Sonoma. Here are some things you should look for and consider as you shop for this item.
Food processors range in size, so it's important to consider how much you'll use your machine before choosing one. Mini processors are designed for handling small quantities of food, like dicing garlic or chopping basil. If you usually only make meals for one or two people, a small but mighty mini-machine may suit your needs just fine. If you plan on using a lot of the special features that a food processor can offer or you need to cook family size meals, than a larger capacity might be best. Most average processors range in size from seven to eight cups, with larger models offering as much as a 16-cup capacity, giving more than enough space to prepare anything you need. And you will want to consider countertop space as well, with smaller processors taking up less space, while larger models require a little more room.
A food processor's motor strength is a good indicator of how powerful the machine is. You want something sturdy enough to chop nuts or other solid items, and you don't want it to shake or shimmy across the counter while it's doing its job. A powerful motor also makes the food processor more versatile so that it can handle tough tasks like kneading dough or grinding meat. Average machines generally operate just fine with motors of at least 400 watts, but bigger processors need more power. Some of the larger models feature motors of up to 750 watts for the strength to cut through anything. When looking at the options, a strong and sturdy base is also indicative of the machine's power. For occasional use almost any design will do, but a real heavy-hitter should have a heavy bottom base to hold things in place.
After you determine the size and strength you need, look at some of the food processor's other features like the ability to knead dough or grate cheese. Add-ons and attachments can increase the versatility of a food processor, giving it regular use in the kitchen. If you like the ability to switch between thin shavings and thick wedges, choose a model with an adjustable slicer. If you want the power to whisk eggs, make sure to choose a brand that comes with a separate whisk attachment. Some models come with optional add-on accessories like a smoothie and juicer attachment. Even if you don't want these separate pieces now, buying one of these brands helps if you decide in the future to get the optional pieces. Most food processors only have three buttons, which are power, start and pulse, but some have an added timer or additional display features for user convenience. From extra-wide feed chutes to separate slicing and grinding blades, the accessories are what make each food processor stand out.
Finally, look at each food processor's safety and convenience features before buying. Families with children might find a safety locking lid is a top priority, while others might prefer a motor that is super quiet. Retractable cords, BPA-free bowls, rubberized grip feet and automatic overload shutoff are all features that can vary from model to model. When comparing these specs with the size and versatility you need, you'll soon find a food processor that is an indispensable part of your kitchen lineup.

Skip to comments.Jewish Democrat Group Attacks Rand Paul
Posted on 03/17/2013 4:52:07 PM PDT by JohnPDuncan
In a statement released on Saturday evening, the National Jewish Democratic Councils executive director, Aaron Keyak, stopped just short of declaring Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul anti-Semitic, and warned that American Jews should be alarmed that Paul won yesterdays Conservative Political Action Conference presidential straw poll.
Regardless of political affiliation, American Jews should be alarmed that the Republican Partys core activists have selected Senator Rand Paul to be their preferred standard bearer for 2016, Keyak said in a statement. Senator Paul has called multiple times to cut and end American aid to Israel, and has refused to rule out a containment strategy vis-à-vis Iran. Pauls misguided foreign policy views are nothing short of dangerous, and his growing legitimacy among the GOPs base is only another reason why the vast majority of Jewish Americans consistently support the Democratic Party.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Democrats Boo Israel at the Democratic National Convention
If Jewish Democrats are against anti-Semites, why do they support Hussein?
Jerks and morons. They are clueless as to who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Losers.
IMHO the Jews will regret the words they utter today and in the past. The Arab American wing of the Dem party is growing. Today Arab Americans make up 3 percent of US population (equal to the Jewish American population). Arabs always wonder how Jews representing 3 percent have undue influence in US politics. They are using the Jewish model to organize in the US and having growing influence. Many of these Arab Americans harbor anger at Israel and Jews. One day American Jews will wake up thrown out of the Dem Party and due to their past harsh words about GOP (especially conservative GOP) will be unable to get into the GOP. Unprotected by either GOP or Dem, the Arab Americans will have a field day on the American Jews. The GOP will simply breakout the popcorn and watch the beatings.
I agree. You nailed it.
I think some libs are so blinded by their hatred for anything non-Democrat they simply can't acknowledge or accept reality. The majority of anti-Semitism I hear about today comes from the left side of the spectrum.
How many Jewish babies have been slaughtered in the womb with the blessings of the National Jewish Democratic Council? Is that anti-Semitic?
PAUL: Well absolutely, we stand with Israel, but what I think we should do is announce to the world, and i think it is well-known, that any attack on Israel will be treated as an attack on the United States.
Just wanted to get this in before the Paul haters show up.
Do American Jews even know what anti-Semitic means?
Yeah, you can take it to the bank that these "jews" are the baby-killing packer/muncher variety.
"and his growing legitimacy among the GOPs base is only another reason why the vast majority of Jewish Americans consistently support the Democratic Party."
Right. And there reason for not supporting pro aid to Israel Republican Presidents in the past is?
LOL this coming from the Dem Party who BOOED Israel..for Jewish Democrats, its all about being self hating Jews..they despise Israel
They are "secular jews" or JINOs (atheists) who embrace liberal social issues and progressivism. They don't really like Israel and Judaism, as it is embarrassing to them.
I think this is less about JEWISH Democrats than it is about Democrats. I would expect Democrats to say this about Paul.
I confess that I will NEVER understand Jewish Democrats who vote for the people who are opposed to Israel.
That's one I will never get!
One day American Jews will wake up thrown out of the Dem Party and due to their past harsh words about GOP (especially conservative GOP) will be unable to get into the GOP. Unprotected by either GOP or Dem, the Arab Americans will have a field day on the American Jews. The GOP will simply breakout the popcorn and watch the beatings.
years ago I dated a Jewish girl from westchester county,NY plenty of money, parents paid for her college called curry college in MA, which is expensive.
She worked for her masters degree and though she never really said she was Jewish she did however get defensive when her religion was brought up .
Years later she married a Jewish guy and both moved to down the road from the Clintons.
I can honestly say that though they have good jobs, get paid at least 150,000 a year each they are dumb as hell,no common sense, she even admitted she had none but in 2008 she inferred I was a NAZI because i said the Huff post and other media outlets were biased and she has no idea how dangerous bozo was.
I've refused to talk to her since even though she sends cards every year and e-mail every now and again which tells me how she misses talking to me.
To hell wiht her and her other Jewish idiots, they couldn;t careless about Israel or the plight of what those Jews went through\She even told me how bozo would be a better friend than MCcain to Israel HUH.
The American Jews for the most part have always voted on mass for the Dems even though the Dem party openly states how they oppose Israel and the Jewish people over there.
Most of these dip sticks hate America, why is anyone surprised that they hate Israel too?
Relax folks....this is normal liberal Jew ideology. Nothing new here and expect more of this kind of crap.
Demcorat Jews would follow Hitler...and they know it but wont admit it.
Read Schindler's list..NOT the same as the movie.
For the record Im not a Paul follower and would have never voted for his crazy daddy and to be honest some of the Paulistas are anti Semitic.
Yeah... where was their outrage when the Democrats voted God down?
Bullcrap. Any libertarian is about 0.01% as anti-semitic as your average Democrat, and US Jews seem to have no trouble with them.
Paul could well assemble himself a motley crew of misfits and the noble minded. It's true he does want to cut international aid on a blanket basis (he isn't singling out Israel). This would be a mixed bag for Israel, as being Washington's pet has tempted Israel to not be as sharp as she could be. Ultimately when the Jews depended on gentiles they got reamed, every single time — allowing for Christianity being a different story, but America is losing its Christianity at a brisk clip today.
They are either not Jewish or not Democrats ~ can't really be both ~ at least not the real thing.
The foreign aid issue is the sore point, and quite understandably Democrats today think that to cut aid means to will disaster, with their vast subsidy-think.
NJDC is the national voice for Jewish Democrats. Through its grassroots political network operating from coast-to-coast, NJDC plays a multi-dimensional role in the democratic process. As an organization advocating the;
separation of church and state,
strong U.S.-Israel relations and,
reproductive freedom,
NJDC educates candidates for public office, distributes voter guides to Jewish voters and advocates for our issues on Capitol Hill and in state capitals.
Reproductive Freedom?
Huckabee was correct when he compared the Holocaust to abortionthe killing of humans who represent an inconvenience.
The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) today demanded that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR) stop invoking the Holocaust to push his political agenda. NJDC Executive Director Aaron Keyak said:
self hating lefty 'Jews" always make me laugh.....they vote for a muslim loving Israel hating president but they want to warn us about Rand paul who has openly pledged his support for Israel and its people
That is mighty shortsighted of them if not absolutely cynical, to want to see the abortion door propped wide open like that. Euphemism or no euphemism.
I wonder if Rand Paul would, while easing back on direct Washington monetary subsidy, make a point of promising Israel a robust active military support "in case of emergency." Give it room to grow mighty on its own under God's hand, but certainly give specific support as may be needed.
Good points...the Cranston act is an example of how aid to Israel goes....on paper it shows the money is paid back...but isnt.
I live in S. Florida and its infested with Libs..Jew and non Jew but folks need to know there is a HUGE difference between Israelis and American Liberal Jews.
Ill be watching Paul...Im not sold yet.
he hasn't been specific but what you propose is excellent. Moreover Paul is an advocate for getting rid of monies to third world holes like Egypt and their ilk
I can sort of see the point of paying bribes to warring factions to try to get them to pipe down... but when the warring stems from something that isn't easily mollified by mammon or even cynically seeks to use it to increase the strife... as what is spiritually at the center of today's rabidly radical Islam... then cutting the water off seems the wiser policy. As would an aggressive domestic energy program.
I'm Jewish and I hate liberal Jews. Actually I despise them. My next door neighbors belong to that group. They wonder why I want nothing to do with them after they told me Hussein was their man. I asked why and all they could say was Romney shipped jobs overseas. Huh? Obummer could be escorting them to the gas chamber and they'd still blame Romney and Palin. Jewish liberals are the definition of low information voter.
What about the non-Jewish white folk who vote for Hussein? What's up with that?
Israeli's hate Obama, American Jews love him.
Go figure...
You will see for yourself when Obama goes to Israel that they don't like him.
Rand has said that the U.S should stop interfering in Israel's internal affairs and that they should handle their own security without having to call the White House for "permission".
This is why Israeli's resent Washington and actually they support what Rand is saying. Rand visited Israel and spent a week there and was made to feel very welcome.
I think it's because when many Jews hear the word "Christian" they see barbed wire. While they may be right historically, I resent my country being compared to Europe or the ME. Meanwhile, most of them say nothing about the threat from islamofascism.
Not really. Slowly but surely some liberal Jewish Americans are seeing the light, even among my leftist friends (I'm Jewish).
The Sequestration and tax raises (some they never heard about), are beginning to hit them just like everyone else.
I make sure that every time I get a phone call from the Democrats or liberal Jewish groups, I tell them that I can't contribute because Obama is driving me into poverty.
Boy, you can feel the silence all the way to my house.
On election, day, I told one smartassed Democrat that I wouldn't vote for an Democrat Commie Traitor ever. I think they are still in shock.
Look around at the local Tea Parties and you will see young Jewish people rising up in their ranks, including in daughter.
A lot of us are Jewish columnists and have been printed at Frontpagemagazine, AugustaFreePress (online when the editor wasn't a "progressive"), FreeRepublic, Wall Street Journal, Wash. Times, Wash. Examiner, and in many other publications across the US and abroad.
We know who the enemy is, even if our religious brethern are too blind to see. Some of us learned our lessons from history, as all the European members of my grandmother's family were executed or gassed in Lemberg, Belzec or Auschwitz.
We know what to look for and in Obama, we see it. He is evil and any Democrat who supports him, out of ignorance, greedy or ideology, is an enemy of America. Period.
In the end we are going to be SHOCKED to find who is a Jew and who is NOT(you know "DEPART FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW YOU!").

Cynthia Nielson, representing Emery Telcom, presents members of the student council at Emery High a gift from Emery Telcom.
The audio/visual equipment was donated to supplement the learning environment at the school.
"This equipment will enable the students in the drama class to tape productions and practices to be viewed for a wonderful learning experience," said Neal Peacock, drama teacher at the school.
"Not only will the drama class benefit, but the students in business and sterling scholar classes can tape interview situations to get a taste for how an interview feels and also how they present themselves to the interviewer."
The equipment was removed from a TV station in Cedar City. The station, CTV12, broadcast "Talk of the Town," a local human interest channel and the local news to viewers in Cedar City. This donation also includes part of the studio news set for the backdrop to the equipment. Students will learn not only comportment in front of the cameras, but the realities of the backstage workings.

And comes back totally alive.
Bleak. The weather had worsened considerably and to venture forth with the necessary camel force in thick sand dunes through the mountains of Moab which lay between Tafileh and the north would have been madness. If the camels did not die of exposure, they would present an easy target to a few Turkish horsemen as they plunged and slithered clumsily up and down the sandy mountain defiles.
"Up Camel, Up Camel-! Up Donner-! On Wolf Blitzen-!" Johnny mounts a camel, hence becoming for the first time in his life, a "Camel-Jockey"
After an epic camel journey they retired for some flavored tabacco administered via hooka.
And a feast with the bros...
The bros I was talking about.
In fact Dubai is a super-modern city. You could even say Future-Modern. There is Johnny next to some of Prez Bush's oil buddies...
Epic skatespots are being built faster than they can be found. And not too many kids to skate them.
This photo works on two levels. 1. It shows a potential skate spot. 2. It shows a cultural norm there in Dubai, men who are not gay holding hands. Try doing that in Kentucky!
Again, not gay. Was this the filming crew Vans hired?
Thanks for sharing Johnny~!

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
Last week, I asked readers what technology questions they wanted answered. Since I only received one response this week, I am going to answer a few of their questions.
Question 1: Is it safe to plug a computer directly into a wall outlet with no surge protection?
Technically speaking, it all depends on how viable the electrical wiring is. Frequent power interruptions (outages) are hard on computers. So are major voltage fluctuations (especially voltage spikes, which can damage or even destroy your computer).
However, plugging your computer directly into a wall outlet (with good electrical wiring) is rarely ever a problem. The only issue is that that the computer won't be protected from unruly power fluctuations.
Question 2: What can you tell me about UPS units?
A good surge suppressor will protect your computer from voltage spikes, but won't stop it from going off (powered off). A good Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with surge protection, in contrast, will not just protect your computer from voltage spikes, but will also keep your computer running during short term outages or brown-outs. The battery inside the UPS will provide or supplant the computer with enough power to keep it running properly until power is fully restored. If short term outages become long term problems, then you should save any unsaved work, and power the computer off.
The amount of surge protection and battery uptime largely depends on the capacity and capability of the UPS and on how much power your computer uses. A good battery will provide you with an average of 45 minutes or more.
If you're interested in purchasing a UPS unit, it might be wise to search the Internet for more information, as well as professional and user reviews which will help you determine which UPS will give you the right protection within your price range.
Question 3: Should I turn my home computer off when I'm gone for a few days? Should I unplug it?
While most computer technicians will agree that turning your computer off during long periods of inactivity is a good thing, many will differ on actual time frames. I turn my personal (home) computer off if I am going to be gone more than a day or two, and put it into "suspend" mode (often called "standby") at night when I am home.
Unplugging a computer won't hurt anything, and will guarantee voltage spikes (caused from lightening or other causes) won't cause damage. However, if you have a good surge protection, you can probably get away with leaving it plugged in, if desired.
Question 4: Is dial-up still safer from viruses and other attacks than broadband?
In many ways, yes. Broadband connections, like DSL or Cable are more prone to malicious network attacks than dial-up because of the major increase in bandwidth (perceived by the consumer as "download speed") and connection availability (which tend to be on 24/7), which make them a greater target for attackers.
However, most broadband connections can be greatly secured without much effort. For example, buying a Cable/DSL router and/or firewall software can add a great deal of protection to your home network (in fact, many security experts would not recommend a broadband connection without such a device).
Take note, however, that no Internet connection will protect you from any viruses or malware that are downloaded to your computer via an email you're received or a web page you have viewed.
Question 5: My computer runs really slow despite having many precautions advised against (viruses, etc). How can I speed up my computer?
A computer can be slow for many reasons. If you have noticed a recent slowdown in performance, you might want to consider the following:
1- Do you run Disk Defragmenter or Scan Disk regularly? Not doing so can cause performance decreases.
2- Do you have enough memory and/or free hard disk space to run your applications? Modern computers should have at least 256 MB of total memory (RAM) and at least a few gigabytes (GB) of free (available) hard disk space on your local "C:\ drive."
3- Have you installed any new programs recently? Newly installed programs could be running components that are utilizing memory and slowing your computer down. For starters, check your system tray (the set of small icons on your taskbar by your clock) for any unfamiliar icons. If you find some suspicious ones, some online research will help you determine if it is necessary, and if not, how to turn it off.
4- Have you made changes to your computer's system settings (options you will typically find in the Control Panel)? Such changes could change the behavior of your computer in such a way that slows many applications down.
5- Are you sure your computer meets the minimum hardware and software requirements to run your applications? Sometimes consumers will fail to check these requirements, and are surprised when the application doesn't run like anticipated.
6- Has it been long since your operating system (typically some variation of Microsoft Windows) has been installed? Over time, system files on the hard drive accumulate and configuration files get bloated with loads of extra information, which slows the system down.
If it has been more than a year or two since the last re-install, you might want to consider re-installing Windows and your applications (starting over with a clean slate, so to speak). If the computer is running Windows 95, 98 or ME, there is even more potential for problems.
Be sure to note, however, that if you are planning on "starting over" and re-installing, you will want to back up any inportant files you have stored on your computer. Blank CDs (if you have a CD burner) are great for doing such backups.
7- Have you scanned your computer with a spyware scanner, or alternate virus scanner? Just because you have protection doesn't mean something bad (virus, malware) can't slip by undetected. Spyware, in particular, has a major tendency to drastically slow a computer down.
8- Consider the age of the computer. Components age, and become less responsive and less reliable over time. If your computer is more than 5 years old, you should seriously consider upgrading to a faster and more capable model.
Again, please send your technology questions to me, and I will do my best to answer them! If I find a lot of requests for the same topic, I may dedicate an entire article to the subject, so I can cover it in more detail.

Father of Boston suspects plans to fly to USBy ARSEN MOLLAYEV , Associated Press
Apr. 22, 2013 8:11 AM ET
MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — The father of the two Boston bombing suspects says he will travel from Russia to the United States this week to seek "justice and the truth."
Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press that he has "lots of questions for the police" and he wants "to clear up many things."
In the interview on Sunday he said only that he planned to go in several days, but the suspects' mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, told journalists on Monday that the father plans to fly to the U.S. on Wednesday.
She said the family would try to bring the body of their elder son back to Russia.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a gun battle with police. His 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar was later captured alive but badly wounded.

I figured Kakashi just hit Tobi at the time where he's solid ie. when he's trying to warp someone. The moment Naruto passed through him, Tobi became solid to get ready to absorb Naruto. That's when Kakashi warped the Rasengan. Though, what's really weird is the implications that Tobi might have warped Kakashi's Kamui attack when he attempted to take out the Mazou. Dimension warping a dimension warping technique? Yo dawg?
Well, I suspect we'll get an explanation from Kakashi in the next chapter about what's really going on here, then it's theory time.

A try from captain Gavin Evans helped Cardiff Blues to a hard-fought 10-6 LV= Cup win over London Irish at Arms Park on Friday.
A try from captain Gavin Evans helped Cardiff Blues to a hard-fought 10-6 LV= Cup win over London Irish at Arms Park on Friday.
London Irish must now rely on Worcester beating Saracens on Saturday if they are to reach the semi-finals. The Exiles went into the match at the top of Pool Three knowing that a bonus-point win would secure their place in the play-offs for the first time but an error-riddled display looks to have ended their campaign.
The Blues led 7-3 at the interval after Evans grabbed an opportunistic try when Exiles full-back Tom Homer failed to ground the ball behind the try-line after a grubber from Rhys Patchell – Evans pounced on the loose ball to touch down.
Homer's bad luck continued when he saw a 40-yard penalty rebound from a post shortly before the interval.
Homer and Patchell traded second-half penalties as Exiles failed to mount a comeback.
The scorers:
For Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Evans
Cons: Patchell
Pens: Patchell
For London Irish:
Pens: Homer 2
Cardiff Blues: 15 Jason Tovey, 14 Owen Williams, 13 Gavin Evans (capt), 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Alex Walker, 8 Robin Copeland, 7 Thomas Young, 6 Michael Paterson, 5 James Down, 4 Cory Hill, 3 Benoit Bourrust, 2 Rhys Williams, 1 Nathan Trevett.

Style With Rodney Cutler at New York Fashion Week 2012!
by Megan Dorcey on Friday, May 13, 2011
Rodney Cutler
One lucky hair professional, guilty of being criminally brilliant at their trade, will be conspiring with session supremo and celebrity stylist Rodney Cutler next year to create beautiful runway hair during New York Fashion Week next fall.
Determined to uncover the best business minds in the industry, Shortcuts Software launched a competition with Cutler on May 1st offering a reward of a trip for two to New York City, with the actual winner assisting Cutler backstage at the New York Fashion Week 2012 next February.
Over the past few months, Shortcuts has been building a library of videos on its Most Wanted website featuring top salon owners revealing what they believe has contributed to their success. Now it wants everyone to get posting their home-grown versions.
"We want salon owners and managers to submit homemade videos revealing what they are 'guilty of' that makes them successful," said Paul Tate, CEO of Shortcuts Software. "It doesn't have to be a sleek and glossy production. In fact, it must be done using a personal video camera. We just want them to have fun making it and for there to be a serious message that can help others build their businesses."
Aspiring Fashion Week session stylists must make a film to enter the competition, post it on YouTube, and then fill out an entry on the Shortcuts Most Wanted website. Shortcuts will be posting tips on the Most Wanted site about how to make a fun film, and hosting webinars later in the year to make it even easier.
All entries will be embedded on the site for everyone to watch, rate, and comment on until the closing date on July 31st. Cutler and his creative team will then narrow the selection down to 10 finalists, whose films will be posted on the Most Wanted site for voting in September 2011. The winner will be voted by viewers and then whisked off to New York for the trip of a lifetime during Fashion Week of 2012.

Fans will boo Sheldon Souray when he steps on to the ice with the Dallas Stars Friday in his first appearance back at Rexall Place since his messy split with the Edmonton Oilers.
It's a tradition at the old rink, after all. Wayne Gretzky got it. So did Paul Coffey and Mark Messier and Grant Fuhr and other players who had a far more significant place in franchise history and in the hearts of fans than did Souray, who spent three mostly miserable seasons in Edmonton.
The difference, of course, is all those players, and many others, left town after winning Stanley Cups here during the dynasty days and parades on Jasper Ave. in the 1980s because owner Peter Pocklington couldn't afford to keep them with his financial house of slowly cards crumbling.
Souray, on the other hand, was paid to blow town. First, he was banished to the AHL with Hershey on loan. Then, he was bought out of the final year of the bloated contract he signed as a free agent with the Oilers in the summer of 2007 after enjoying a career season with the Montreal Canadiens.
All that came after Souray publicly questioned how quickly he'd been brought back from shoulder surgery by the Oilers to start the first year of his contract here. It came after Souray asked for a trade privately and later went public with the request. It came after GM Steve Tambellini told Souray he wasn't welcome at training camp and then stuck him in Hershey. After all of that, the buy-out. Get lost. Beat it. Big deposit. No return.
It seemed black-and-white to me – to a lot of those of us on the outside of the situation -- back then. Handsomely paid by the Oilers without delivering the kind of performance expected – one very good season and two disrupted by injuries – Souray went public with his discontent.
Souray had shown up the organization. He knew what the outcome would be. In essence, he'd turned his back on a city far more publicly than Chris Pronger had by asking out behind closed doors. Souray couldn't possibly be asked back to poison the dressing room. Tambellini had to stand his ground.
Did it make sense to have Souray play out his contract sitting beside Taylor Hall or Jordan Eberle or Sam Gagner talking about what a bungling, inept outfit the Oilers, an organization paying him millions of dollars, was? I didn't think so, and I wrote that more than once at the time. I still feel that way, at least in principle. Which is something less than wholeheartedly.
At the time, I had a lot more faith in Tambellini's ability to assess and keep his finger on the pulse of a team than I do now and to read the dressing room and the different personalities within it. Likewise, it follows, I'm not so sure about Tambellini's ability to assemble the right mix of players in that dressing room. A couple of years down the road since the Souray mess hit the fan and the fans, it's not so black and white.
Souray, 35, who inked a one-year contract worth $1.65 million with the Stars last summer, has, by every account I've heard and read, been a total pro in Big D and a good teammate in Texas. Souray's popularity with teammates here was never a question. He was well-liked in the dressing room, if not in the front office.
With the Oilers having made a couple of stops in Dallas this season, Souray has resisted the urge to take potshots at the Oilers or at Tambellini, despite being offered plenty of opportunity by media types looking for another story and another headline. He has moved on.
Oiler fans, whether they sided with Souray or team management back then, will have to do likewise. And they will, as they always do. After, of course, they jeer and boo the first time his name is announced and when he handles the puck – especially if he happens to put it into Edmonton's net.
What if Souray unloads one of those Studley Wonderbomb slappers of his from the point and finds twine? Might Souray get a mixed reaction from the house at Rexall Place? A smattering of cheers from those unhappy with how Tambellini handled the whole mess to go with the obligatory jeers reserved for returning Oilers great, not-so-great and in-between? Might some of that derision be directed upstairs at Tambellini's perch?
That might be appropriate. It's not so black and white to me now.
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.
March 02 2012, 03:45PM
not outlandish, you are correct. too much? yep.
His body of evidence suggests he's worth 5 million. There are players who are lesser than him who make in the 4 million range. He doesnt have a NTC or a NMC. And his contract is only for 2 years.
If this was his career high in terms of production, or even his career average, I'd be singing a different tune. Except it isnt. He's been near a PPG since the lockout until this year coming off of shoulder surgery.
5 mill is just fine.
March 02 2012, 03:53PM
Another significant injury to Hemmers shoulders would make moving that contract rather difficult. That's an iffy deal he signed, obviously he's confident he'll give the Oilers their moneys worth. There could be trouble on the horizon (cap wise) if Ales' wildest dreams come true over the next two seasons.
Sponsored in part by the Society for the Obvious Redundant Facts Bureau.
@Brownlee I don't have any issue with what Souray said, he told the truth. I don't have a problem with what ST did by sending Souray away, it was the correct thing to do.
Leasons were learned, both organization and player have moved on. I find it completely stupid when fans boo every player to come back and play as a visitor.
I wish Sheldon luck, by all accounts he was a good teammate and well respected. I can only hope management has learned to communicate better with players and understand every player is differnt.
It's too bad for Souray he injured himself a few weeks before the trade deadlne fighting Iginla that year. Who knows, he might have been dealt to one of the teams of his choosing instead of Hershey.

I completely disagree. Both sides could of come to an understanding, and fixed it. In the end, the Tambo looked bush league sending Souray to Hershey, and more foolish buying him out. Souray was legit top 4 guy, if not top two. The team wasted an asset, and in the process made the Oilers reputation far worse then what it was.
With Tambo here, why would a player want to sign in Edmonton... I agree Souray should of kept things in house. I don`t buy the cancer arguement as too why he was demoted and embarrassed by the Oilers, the cancer in the Oilers organization is the management.
I didn't like Souray before he got here so why should I like him now! Slow, plodding defenceman with a big shot that he never got off! Oh and was always hurt!
March 02 2012, 11:05PM
Because JF Jaques was a coke machine that could skate...
Petrell, Hordichuk, Lander, Eager all play a fundamentally different game and don't require PP time to build successful seasons. Most of them can play PK and be responsible first, while also adding a physical/intimidation aspect to their game.
Omark cannot replace what any of those aformentioned players do, he would play a completely different game.
If you bring Omark up its not to be an effective shutdown 3rd or 4th line role player, sure he can add a scoring threat on 4th line minutes... But without PP time and a physical edge he is going to get eaten up and stats will suffer when he makes beautiful saucer passes onto Hordichuk's stick.
So the question isn't about taking people out of the bottom 6, but who do you drop from the top? Also why mess with out League leading powerplay?
Petrell, Hordichuk, Lander and Eager are all, right now, inferior players 5x5. Lander may be a better player than Omark someday, but that day is not today. Other than Petrell, none of those players have a significant role on the PK, and even with Petrell, he's not the key player.
The main role of any player is to get the puck going in the right direction. Omark does this. Just because we're used to 3rd or 4th line players handling the puck like it's a grenade does not mean that is their "role", it just means teams generally do not have the depth/cap space to have guys who can score on the lower lines.
This whole distinction of whether a player "fits in" in a top six or bottom six role is silly. If you have good players, play them. Better to have good players on the ice than inferior ones that fit in some overly limiting idea of what "role" a player should have.
As for "messing" with the powerplay, I would give Omark opportunity because league leading or not, I still think he is one of the six best forwards that this team has to play on the PP. But even if I didn't, Omark would be worth having on the roster simply for his even strength play.
Don't understand why this is being brought up now. Won't be long before we start hearing the same stuff from the likes of Hall, Eberle, Gagner, RNH, etc. doesn't matter who's on the ice. The Oilers aren't going anywhere with this brain trust.
Still wondering why everyone is wasting time complaining about players and coaches. Can't get anywhere when the captain of the ship thinks he playing marbles instead of sailing.
Souray 10 & Tambellini no score. Only one reason to accept the booing, It puts Souray in good company. Edmonton fans showed that they deserve a small minded,ego focused, manager like Tambellini. I have less faith in Oiler's future now then ever.
Management is the bestest problem. Breaking records going from a Stanley Cup finalist to going six seasons without making the playoffs is not something to be proud of. At first people blamed the players, next the coach, but think Edmonton replaced the coach a few times now and we have had firt NHL draft picks twice now and still the problem remains. What is the constant? Management.
I give Souray credit for standing up and calling a spade and a spade. If that was how your boss treated you if you were on leave from your job - you would have felt just as he did. I agree he should have keep it out of the media, but so should have Tambellini.
I expected the Oilers fans to boo Souray for the first couple of shifts, but really to continue booing into the second period??? Classless and so not neccessary. His family is in Edmonton - give him and them a break. He was a great celebrity while he played here giving back to the community all of the time in any and every way that he could. Fine example that has not been duplicated since he left.
