LOS ANGELES — If the Los Angeles Lakers can continue to be fueled by the overflowing of emotions and loving memories in the aftermath of the death of their beloved owner, maybe this season won't be a lost cause after all.
After a moving tribute to Dr. Jerry Buss at Staples Center Wednesday night before the Lakers' first game since his death, the Lakers went out and thrashed the team Buss disliked most – the Boston Celtics.
Thursday, at a memorial service held across the street from Staples at the Nokia Theatre, the emotion continued to pour out as great Lakers past and present, including coaches Phil Jackson and Pat Riley, player/executive Jerry West, Showtime-era Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson and champions of a later era, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, talked about their relationships and experiences with Buss.
Watch: Kobe's moving pregame tribute to Buss
They talked of his friendly touch with common folks, his love of blue jeans, his penchant for staying out late (or all night), his uncommon vision, his sharp intellect and his surprising humility.
They talked of how Buss would like nothing more than for the Lakers to continue to win at the astounding level they did under his ownership.
Buss often said he wanted Los Angeles to by synonymous with the Lakers, and the Lakers synonymous with winning.
LAKERS' FUTURE: Can Jeanie, Jim Buss handle franchise?
And so it was, to an astounding degree. In his nearly 34 years as owner, the Lakers had the best record in the league by far, went to the NBA Finals 16 times and won 10 titles.
Buss died Monday at age 80 amid one of the Lakers' most troubling seasons, a season that was expected to parlay the union of Bryant, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash into another Lakers championship.
Instead, the Lakers have struggled to a sub-.500 record and are in danger of missing the playoffs.
FULL SUPPORT: Kobe, Kupchak say Buss heirs have blessing
They'll wear "JB" patches on their jerseys the rest of the season. But can they summon the kind of effort they showed against the Celtics Wednesday – clearly, it seemed, aided by the emotions of the night – for the rest of the season?
And can Buss' children, whom he groomed to carry on and keep the Lakers in the family, find the same winning touch he had?
Several speakers addressed the Buss family.
Said Johnson: "Please, Buss family, never sell the Lakers . . . and win more championships."
FAMILY BUSINESS: Why things get tricky in sports inheritances
Buss' oldest son, Johnny, who spoke for the family but has less to do with the Lakers than his brother, Jim, and sister, Jeanie, said the family intends to try.
"It was his desire to continue winning for the city," he said, "and we will fulfill that."
West spoke movingly of the impact Buss had on him personally and of Buss' intellect and vision, and of his ability to put together a winning formula.
"I'm very confident," he said of Buss' children, "they will do what they can to build a championship team."
No one will have a greater impact on what happens the rest of this season than Bryant, who remains the heart and soul of the Lakers in his 17th season.
He said Thursday that when Buss proposed bringing back Jackson for a second stint at coaching the Lakers, he hesitated.
"Dr. Buss said, 'Trust me,'" Bryant said. "I did, and it resulted in two more championships."
Now Bryant will try hard to put symmetry to Buss' legacy. Buss' first team, in Johnson's rookie season, won a title. Buss' last team will have to stage an amazing rally to contend for one.
Bryant called on his teammates to use the inspiration of Buss' memory to inspire their efforts.
"We're playing for something bigger than ourselves and bigger than one season," he said. "We are playing for the memory of a great man."

Ladies, if you've been searching for the perfect shoe to make your torn-knee jeans look a little less grungy, this may just be the perfect solution. Espadrille wedges are the perfect union of casual and cute, and with a cuffed hem and a high-waist, you'll look more like a vintage pin-up than a '90s left-over. We love the Marais USA tomato espadrille wedge ($105). Available now at the Marais online store.

Juab wins golf tournament at Fairview
The Juab Wasps, new to 3-A this season, took the latest region 12 golf tournament with a score of 325. The match was held in Fairview at the Skyline Mountain Resort last Thursday.
Juab shot a 325 team score to win. The Richfield Wildcats, also new to 3-A this season, finished in second place with a score of 335.
Delta, Manti, North Sanpete and Emery were all in a bunch with eight shots separating the four teams. Emery was paced by senior Mark Guymon. Guymon shot a 79 score good enough for a fourth place finish among the region contenders. Also scoring for the Spartans was Quinn Montgomery, Andrew Terry and Brian Langston.
Emery will now travel to Juab next Thursday. Juab may be hard to beat on their home course.

The Emery County Youth Summit attendees learned about Rachel's Challenge. Rachel was one of the first people to be shot at Columbine High School. Nicole Nowlen told Rachel's story to the youth. She said the memorial at Columbine High was just completed and she had attended those services. "There were 12 students and one teacher killed at Columbine High. Rachel Scott was a junior at Columbine. She has two older sisters and two younger brothers. She would have been 26 if she was still alive. Rachel believed if one person will go out of their way to show compassion, you never know how far it can go. Test this out yourself and you may start a chain reaction. Six weeks after Rachel wrote the essay on compassion, she was one of those who died. Two suspects, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had placed bombs in the lunchroom and they started by shooting students outside and then moved into the library, 12 students were also injured. The shooting lasted 22 minutes and the suspects ended up shooting themselves in the library.
"SWAT teams entered the school. This is the worst school shooting. They put up lists of the kids who survived and the parents would check the lists and hope their child had survived. One by one families were reunited with their students. We were stunned and filled with sorrow," said Nowlen.
Nowlen was among the injured with a gunshot wound, the doctors told her that being overweight had saved her life, as the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
Nowlen spoke of Rachel's younger brother Craig who was also in the library at the time of the shooting. He said, "I miss my sister. She led a life committed to kindness. She believed kindness could change the world."
Nowlen said, "I was in the library doing homework when the shooting began and I got under a desk with a boy who later died. People have asked me why talk about something so difficult. I was shot from a foot away and buckshot entered my right side and exited my left. I was released from the hospital the next day. I didn't go back to school right away. But I wouldn't let Eric and Dylan win. I knew I wanted to go back. Now I mainly share Rachel's story. It is important and impactful.
"Students heard a noise outside that sounded like firecrackers. Craig had friends that died on each side of him. He walked out and led people out a side door. He saved several students by doing this," said Nowlen.
The suspects uttered racial slurs before killing a black student. Rachel gave challenges to others in the essays she wrote. She said to look for the best in others. Eliminate prejudice. Look in a person's eyes and you can see their heart. Many times we don't give others a chance and we don't get to know people. How we treat each other can eliminate prejudice. Look for the best and you will find it. Rachel identified with Anne Frank and read her diary. Now Rachel's journal has been published.
The suspects chose April 20 for their shooting spree because that was Adolf Hitler's birthday.
"You need to have clear written goals for your life. A study was done of Harvard students and they were asked if they had written goals. Three percent said they did and 97 percent did not. Ten years later the 3 percent with written goals were making 10 times more than those without written goals," said Nowlen.
Rachel's dad said, "Rachel, your life was so meaningful and your death will not be in vain. I love you so much my sweet, Rachel."
Nowlen said, "Rachel's dad has spoke before Congress and he's been on TV with Oprah Winfrey and Larry King. We have talked to 1 million students across the country. This is the way for her life not to be in vain. After Rachel had died, the family found an outline of Rachel's hand on the back of a dresser which said, 'These hands belong to Rachel Scott and they will touch millions of lives.'
"Dare to dream and write down your goals. Keep a journal. Rachel kept journals. In one of her journals she wrote, 'I won't be labeled as average.'
"Craig was bitter and angry for a long time. But, eventually he did end up going back to school. He realized you can't be angry forever. Craig wanted to make movies and he is making movies with positive values. The suspects were influenced by violence in the media. They watched violent movies and listened to music with violent lyrics. My mom used to say, garbage in, garbage out and that's what happened with Harris and Klebold. What you choose to surround yourself with, you will give away to others.
"Rachel died four months before her 18th birthday. She had wanted to go sky diving on her 18th birthday. She went bungee jumping on her 16th birthday.
"Rachel once said, 'Don't let your character change color with your environment.' Rachel would take the time for new students at school or handicapped kids and those who are picked on and put down. Rachel would help these students. Amber Jackson was a new girl at school who was being ignored. She sat down alone in the lunch room and Rachel invited her to sit with her and her friends, but Amber declined. So, Rachel and her friends went and sat by her. This made a big difference to Amber, her mom had just passed away and she really needed a friend. Rachel, reached out and treated people good. Look for the people who sit alone in the lunch room. People who don't fit in and are different. Include them. Small things, have big impact. One boy who was handicapped had two bigger boys kick his books around in the hall. Rachel stood up to defend this boy. She put up her fists and said, 'You'll have to go through me to get to him.' The boys walked away and left Adam alone.
"Rachel sought Adam out every day to be nice to him and treated him like a human being. She saw the person on the inside. Calling names is hurtful. Adam was considering suicide, but with Rachel's love he didn't.
"People get pushed. You never know the impact of your words for good or bad. Why don't you treat other people like you treat your friends. We are all people and human . Everyone needs love and acceptance. We are not above other people. Make sure you treat others like you might not see them again. Kind words and little acts of kindness can have huge results. Look for small things to do that have huge results. I have started helping lost people in airports or people with young children.
"One friend said of Rachel, 'She tried to bring together groups of people and show them a nice side of life.' Rachel was awarded the 2001 kindness award by the Acts of Kindness Association. Many people have been impacted by Rachel's story. She always knew she was going to die young. Towards the end, her poetry became dark. One sentence read, 'I want someone to walk with me through these halls,' and she wrote in her journal, 'This will be my last year, Lord.'
"A few weeks after Rachel's death a man called from back east, saying he kept having a dream of Rachel crying and her tears fell on a flower. He asked if this had any meaning to Rachel's father, but he said it didn't. He took down the man's name. About a month later the police called and said the family could pick up Rachel's backpack. So her father went and picked it up and found her journal in the backpack. He wanted to read her last writings. He found a picture she had drawn the morning of her death with crying eyes in the sky and the crying eyes were watering the rose and as the tears reached the rose they turned into blood drops. There were 13 teardrops in the picture, the same number as the people who died later that day," said Nowlen.
Nowlen showed the picture of Rachel taken at the prom. "This is how I want to remember Rachel. The kindness and compassion we show others makes a difference in a lot of peoples' lives. Look hard enough and you will always find a light. Compassion, forgiving, loving, in the end only kindness matters. Find out who you are and let that be your true color. Tell people you love them, say I'm sorry. Start a chain reaction of kindness. Take Rachel's story and let it work on you in the heart," said Nowlen.
Nowlen challenged the students present to take Rachel's Challenge. Posters were hung up in the hall that said "I accept Rachel's Challenge" and the students signed the posters. To learn more about Rachel's challenge you can visit the website, www.rachelschallenge.com.

Virgin Blue Launches Non Stop Sydney-Perth Flights15/05/2002
$199* One Way Brand New Route Deserves Brand New Aircraft
Virgin Blue will begin non-stop daily flights between Sydney and Perth next month after solid support for existing Perth services and huge demand for a direct flight between the two key capital cities.
Australia's low fare airline launched flights from both Melbourne and Adelaide to Perth last December and the airline has recorded strong loads on both routes.
Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, While initially low fares were the bait, Guests have realised that not only is our leg room on our brand new fleet competitive with the other guys economy class, our award winning service is world class and our reliability is second to none. These are the attributes that make a great airline, not snack packs and points.
Virgin Blue recently doubled its Melbourne-Perth flights in response to an increasing business market demand and will now add Sydney-Perth flights to its route network from June 18.
A special launch fare of $199* one way will be on offer from now until Friday May 24, for the first 99 seats on all flights for travel between June 18 to July 4.
Everyday low fares will start from $229* one way on the net, with a $569* one way on the net Fully Flexible fare, approximately 30% cheaper than the competition's one way Fully Flexible fare.
Brett Godfrey said, We have a brand new 737-800 aircraft arriving in mid June direct from the Boeing factory in Seattle which has been earmarked for the Sydney-Perth route. This means travellers will be flying across the Nullabor in the most modern aircraft operating in Australian skies.
According to Brett Godfrey, the staggering lack of availability of low fares on routes Virgin Blue doesn't fly, clearly demonstrates that the monopoly is hurting both tourism and business travellers.
We are confident that air fares offered by our competition on this key route will follow the trend of all Virgin Blue's new launch routes and suddenly become more reasonable and more available. This will be great news for tourism in both states as well as for our Guests travelling on business.
Virgin Blue's decision to begin the Perth-Sydney flights was made following fruitful discussions and assurances from W.A. Premier Dr Geoff Gallop and Government representatives that interstate Government travel won't be the exclusive privilege of one airline.
We believe that if you want competition, you have to support competition and we welcome the W.A Government's moves to ensure that all Government departments consider using Virgin Blue on routes we fly and where we will save taxpayer dollars, finished Brett Godfrey.
While initially Virgin Blue will operate one non stop flight a day, the airline will continue to add services to meet demand and corporate frequency requirements on all W.A routes.
All times local
* All fares exclude passenger ticket levy, airport charges and the global security charge and are for flights booked on the Internet. $5 more by phone.
* Virgin Blue has worked closely with the ACCC during recent months to move towards transparent all- inclusive pricing. The airline is presently in the process of updating its systems to implement this change. In the meantime, please note that all fares mentioned are subject to taxes and surcharges totaling between $11.82 and $15.56 per passenger.

How Dare You Talk About a Tech Start-Up Die-Off!
It's good to stir up the mind-meltingly boring world of tech news. Which is why we enjoyed today's Wall Street Journal article, suggesting an impending tech start-up die-off. The cold breath of death on their neck has raised tech insiders' hackles.
The Journal article—"Web Start-Ups Hit Cash Crunch"—argues that the flood of hackneyed start-ups into the ever expanding tech bubble is unsustainable. Pointless tech companies that were given millions of dollars in funding are now having a hard time raising more money. No shit?
As the number of tiny Web companies riding the frenzy has mushroomed, some in recent weeks have found it tough to procure new funding, investors and entrepreneurs say.
That is pushing some entrepreneurs to look for "bridge" financing to keep forging ahead, or to cut the valuations they are seeking, the people add.
Looks like the savvy tech investors of our new digital gold rush—luminaries like Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher—will only invest in three or four Groupon clones.
"There are a lot of seed-funded companies that are starting to seek out new capital, but there just aren't enough venture capitalists to fund them," one venture capitalist told the Journal. "There's going to be a culling." dun dun dunnnn.
Judging from Twitter, this article hurt a lot of venture capitalists' and start-up founders' feelings. (TechCrunch has a good round-up.) Because, if you ask them, they have been expertly allocating funds to valuable start-ups in a perfect Darwinian marketplace. Only the strong survive..
"Our portfolio companies have all been able to finance themselves when they have wanted to," wrote New York VC Fred Wilson. "And we have made more investments this year than any year we've been in business."
How can there be too many start-ups? For every grilled cheese sandwich that gets $10 million in venture funding, another five are cast into the gutter.

|In response to Re: Toilet Flange
: I recently replaced the original "plastic toilet" in my house with ceramic. During the installation I managed to overtighten the closet bolts, damaging the pvc toilet flange. I repaired this with a metal ring, sold for such, although due to a lack of clearance I was forced to adapt it so it would install under the original flange. Unfortunately this leaked and during my second attempt, I broke the remaining side of the PVC flange. It appears that the flange is sitting too high above the floor or the plastic collar in the wax seal is preventing the toilet from going down to the floor. My current problem is how do you remove a damaged PVC toilet flange, so I can replace it and get closer to the floor? It appears glued to the section of pipe below the floor. Is there a solvent that can dissolve this joint? Appreciate any help. Desperate!

Beautiful Shoes
"I simply fell in love with these shoes. They are so cute but, the only problem I had was that they were really narrow, I could not walk with them because it felt like I was going to rip them and if I would get a bigger size they would be too big. So sadly I had to return them."

Closet Organization: Space-saving Solutions
Make more room in your closets with do-it-yourself easy additions
Closet organization has become big business, an advantage for anyone looking for solutions to help them get more out of tight spaces and trim the clutter that slows down daily routines.
Many retailers offer
closet organization
products that can be combined with standard hardware store materials to build a much smarter closet -- all you have to do is take some measurements and make a list of what needs to go back into the closet once you've cleaned it out.
Add some of these money-saving closet organization solutions to your tally.
Double your clothes storage:
Many clothes closets can accommodate the addition of a second hanging clothes rod. Install one below the existing fixture and double your shirt space. Or add a modular wall system with multiple levels of hanging rods.
Install shelves:
Pick up wire-rack or solid shelving components to lift cluttering shoe collections from the closet floor, stack sweaters or store handbags.
Divide and conquer:
Add stable or sliding dividers to closet shelves for sorting ease and stacking safety.
Build around bins:
You can create an easy-to-access cabinet within a closet space by combining shelving smarts with storage bins of any style and scale. Bring home your favorite finds in canvas, rattan or plastic and size your shelf design to the bins' dimensions.
Roll in space-savers:
Sized just for closets such as shoe racks and two- or three-drawer cabinets, these space savers can really add to closet organization efforts. You can also create your own by adding casters to a basic box construction, drawer or cool crate.
Slim down your hangers:
Save room for those inevitable wardrobe additions by switching in slim, nonslip hangers for your current supply. They'll keep clothes tidy while taking up much less space.
Don't forget the door:
Hinged closet entries accommodate all kinds of over-the-door closet organizers to keep accessories accessible. You can also make room and a style statement by installing a series of decorative knobs and hooks

Talladega Superspeedway might be the least physically demanding track on the Sprint Cup circuit, but it's also the most mentally draining
TALLADEGA, Ala. — The least physically demanding track on the Sprint Cup circuit also is the most mentally taxing.
Driving at Talladega Superspeedway exemplifies one of the most ridiculous stereotypes of stock-car racing: That it involves little more than stomping the accelerator to the floorboard and turning left.
On the longest circuit in the sport, that is somewhat true — particularly on a qualifying lap.
LINEUP: Rain washes out Saturday qualifying
TALLADEGA: Sunday's race is unpredictable
But when the 33-degree banking becomes clogged with cars running inches apart at 200 mph for more than three hours, and drivers are forced to make hundreds of split-second decisions that could imperil all of their competitors, Talladega can engender as much exhaustion as a marathon.
Yet this brand of weariness is confined mostly to the brain instead of the body. As Jeff Gordon once said, "I've had races at Talladega where my eyeballs hurt afterward."
And that might be what ultimately separates the winners and losers at a 2.66-mile oval where an improper flick of the steering wheel can wipe out two dozen cars.
COLUMN: Talladega's past filled with destruction
WATCH: Memorable crashes at Talladega
Mind-set matters here like nowhere else in NASCAR, and the core tenets of success will resonate with anyone familiar with a 12-step program.
"My approach to these types of races has always been just you don't worry about the things you can't control, which is a whole lot here," said Richard Childress Racing's Kevin Harvick, who has 10 top-10s at Talladega. "You go in with a mind-set of, 'I enjoy restrictor-plate racing.' I know that a lot of people might think that you are crazy for thinking like it's fun. The end result doesn't look like it is fun. It's dangerous.
"But I've always just tried to approach it (with) that 'I don't care' attitude. If you wreck, you can't be mad. It's part of the game."
And for those who accept that, good things often happen.
"You've got to have a good attitude and that goes a long ways," said Clint Bowyer, a two-time winner at Talladega who still loves racing the track even though his championship hopes effectively were ended with a wreck last fall. "You better make sure that you're having fun with it. If you're miserable the whole time, you're not going to make the right decisions and probably not going to have the success."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has five victories at Talladega, but it's more than seven years since his most recent win at the track where his seven-time champion father had a record 10 victories.
NASCAR's most popular driver has disparaged Talladega recently — calling the racing "bloodthirsty" after sustaining a concussion in his most recent crash here — but says he will enter Sunday's race with a renewed love for a track where he once won four consecutive.
EARNHARDT JR.: Regrets angry Talladega comments
"I think you go in still with this mentality 'I'm going to put it together, I'm going to make the moves, and we are going to make great pit stops,'" Earnhardt said. "You are going to do all these things that equal victory. Even though you know it's really a lottery in some aspects. You still go in kind of turning a blind eye to that part.
"You can get swept up in something that is totally out of your control and totally random and at times ridiculous. You can be so frustrated by how out of your hands that happens. You've really got to be able to put that behind you fast. You've got to know that is a real possibility much more than any other track."
Of Talladega's myriad maddening aspects — from the capricious draft that can shuffle a car from first to 21st over the course of two turns to the powerless feelings of being stuck in traffic without a means to advance — there's nothing worse than getting caught in the massive pileups that are synonymous with this track.
The most recent Sprint Cup race ended with a 25-car pileup in the final turn. In the April 2003 race, there was a 26-car wreck on the fourth lap. There is a better than even likelihood of a crash involving double-digit cars Sunday.
As Harvick said, "sometimes you miss the wrecks, and sometimes you don't." Though some drivers believe they have some control over when.
"If you get caught in a wreck other than the last 50 laps, it's your fault," Bowyer said. "Doesn't matter what caused it or how you got involved with it. If you get wrecked before the end of the race, there's nobody to blame but yourself because you put yourself in that situation."
Michael Waltrip, Bowyer's car owner, has four career victories at the Cup level, and all were at restrictor-plate tracks (three at Daytona International Speedway; one at Talladega). Since retiring from full-time competition in 2010, he has continued to drive in plate races because he loves it. Last year, he was battling for the lead in the final turn when a block by Tony Stewart triggered the mayhem.
He credits his success to the power of positive thinking.
"I have to do a whole lot of visualization," he said. "I visualize what I saw in practice and what I think I'll see during the race. I know how to win here. The confidence helps a lot. When I play golf I know I suck, and so the ball doesn't go very good. But when I come to Talladega, I know I know what I'm doing. I feel like I'm perfectly prepared to win the race."
Said Earnhardt: "You've got to feel like you are going to do everything right. If you are not making confident choices and just driving with caution, (it) sends you backwards or puts you in a mess. So you have got to make moves with assertiveness and conviction."
Harvick said it helps that his team owner, Richard Childress, doesn't scold drivers for wrecking a $200,000 car while battling for a win.
"You see a lot of guys drive themselves crazy about having to come to Talladega," Harvick said. "It is just a race. It really is.
"You just never really know what to expect. You can drive through the biggest wreck in the world, and not have a scratch on your car. It's definitely better to have a good mind-set about it, and not let yourself get completely torn up about what you would change. This is a part of NASCAR, and it has been for a long time. You might as well just enjoy it."

Local economist: Fewer jobs, but less unemployment
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - East Tennessee State University economics professor Steb Hipple says employment in the Tri-Cities Metro area fell in the fourth quarter for the first time in more than two years.
Despite that, the overall unemployment rate for the last quarter of 2012 fell more than a half-percent to 6.7 percent.
Dr. Hipple says after three years of job growth the employment in the Tri-Cities consolidated statistical area has recovered to near pre-recession levels. The ETSU Bureau of Economics and Research says job growth stalled in all three cities during the last quarter.
The overall jobless rate for Bristol was 6.4 percent, 6.5 percent in Kingsport and 6.6 percent in Johnson City.

Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage
Since tomorrow is St Patrick's Day, and I'm sure many of you will be enjoying this classic Irish-American dish, I am sharing this from the archives! This is what we'll be eating for dinner tomorrow and I can't wait! I used frozen pearl onions and I used parsnips instead of potatoes to make this easy pea-sy and the results were great!
Making it in the crock pot is the perfect solution for a busy schedule. Trim all the fat off to keep it lean. I purchased a 2 1/2 lb piece or corned beef brisket, after I trimmed all the fat off it was 2 lbs. Once cooked it shrunk to 18 oz.
This was my second attempt at this dish in the slow cooker, my first version I put everything in the pot and turned it on. This resulted in overcooked cabbage that turned to mush. Second time around I added the cabbage at the end and it was perfect! I like to serve this with a side if Cauliflower Mash or Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes and a little mustard or horseradish cream on the side. How do you enjoy your corned beef?
And since so many are asking, I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker. I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it's done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This crock pot is so great, I actually own two!
Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

Warm-up act takes Saddledome ice
Jean Lefebvre
September 08 2009 07:46PM
They call it prospects camp and they call it rookie camp, neither of which is completely accurate.
Prospect has that element of speculation, of potential, of possibility, as in "He sure as heck isn't an NHLer now but we believe that with time and some physical maturity, he'll become one."
Mikael Backlund, a physically immature young forward who's still trying get the hang of hockey and life one ocean and then most of a continent away from his homeland, is a prospect.
Carsen Germyn, a phyiscally mature not-so-young forward, is not a prospect. Or if he is a prospect, he's one whose present and future bear an awfully close resemblance to his past -- i.e. Kraft Dinner five nights a week, intimate knowledge of all the hotspots in Norfolk, Va. and the complete assurance that no one will ever, ever say, "Get your tickets for Thursday when Carsen Germyn and the Calgary Flames come to town."
Those who would call the early portion of the Flames' season prep session a "rookie" camp are playing fast and loose with the term considering the presence of Jamie Lundmark, who is almost three-quarters of the way towards qualifying for his full NHL pension.
They really oughta call them "hopeful" camps because hope -- or wishful thinking, take your pick -- is the one thing all of the hockey players who will take the ice Wednesday at the House Kari Eloranta Built have in common.
Hope as in the Flames hope that Leland Irving will continue to make the transition from cut-rate Napoleon Dynamite look-a-like to bona fide NHL goaltender.
Hope as in the Flames hope Kris Chucko will build on a superficially productive but surprisingly uninspiring 28-goal season in the AHL and avoid permanent placement in the Rico Fata/Jesper Mattson/Niklas Sundblad/What the Hell Where We Thinking? file.
Hope as in the Flames hope that Anton Stralman will make the idea of taking in Maple Leaf blue-line castoffs a lot better than it sounds.
The truth of the matter is, the best most of the guys who will serve as the warm-up act for the headliners who show up to work this weekend can hope for is to leave a favourable impression before being handed a ticket to Abbotsford and the helpful suggestion, "Try the miso soup at Mars Japanese Bistro."
Of the lot who attended Calgary's prospect camp a year ago, only Backlund, Kyle Greentree, John Negrin, Matt Pelech and Brett Sutter wound up playing in the NHL, and that was for only a combined total of 15 games.
Thanks to the liberal admission policies for this year's camp and the presence of Lundmark types (Garth Murray and Stralman also have the equivalent of at least one season of NHL duty on their resumes) these prospects will log considerably more big-league time.
Here, based on discussions with knowledgeable hockey people and personal observations from a far, far less sage ex-journalist, are a few random comments and predicitions on the pre-camp campers.
The guy who'll play the most games in the NHL
Lundmark: At one point last season, Adrian Aucoin jokingly said that Lundmark comes to the NHL every once in a while, shows off his first-round talent for a short burst and then gets bored so he starts sucking so that he can go back to the minors. Only a jest, but there might be more truth in the comment than Lundmark would ever admit. Still, depth is a bit of issue and people who knew Lundmark both before and after his ill-fated Russian stint say he's a different and more determined player now.
The guy who'll wind up with the best career
Negrin: Perhaps it's a desire to refrain from taking the easy out and naming a first-round selection such as Backlund, Irving or Greg Nemisz, but the love for the former Kootenay Ice defenceman, a third-round pick in 2007, in the Flames organization is considerable. Negrin impressed at the rookie tournament a year ago and an unflappable way about him both on and off the ice.
Darkhorse candidate
John Armstrong: While most of the reports from Moline about Chucko were lukewarm despite a breakout offensive year, the raves for Armstrong seemed incongruant with his five-goal rookie campaign as a pro. As a matter of fact, Armstrong never scored much in junior either but scouts love all his other qualities and are convinced he'll eventually be an NHL role player.
Most likely to answer a ton of questions about his family
Brett Sutter: Apparently, some members of the previous Sutter generation have dabbled in the frozen game. Fortunately, young Brett inherited his mother's good humour and handles the attention very gracefully considering the relentless monotony of the bloodline line of questioning.
September 12 2009, 12:00AM
word out of the QC was that johnny A played most of the year injured, so i'm decidedly curious about what he's gonna do this year after surgery.
i'm also thinking this will be a make-or-break year for aulie.
A make or break year for Aulie? In his first year as a pro? I'd be willing to give the kids some training wheels.
If I were to throw out a darkhorse candidate it would be Brett Sutter. He'd get unfairly hounded by the press because of the nepotism question but IMO Brett Sutter has all the tools to be an excellent NHL role player.

A Taste of Heaven
from Keith Mathison Feb 08, 2011 Category: Book ReviewsDebates over the proper form and content of worship are not new.

Closer to our own time, the eighteenth-century rise of revivalism caused great controversy throughout North American churches. Keep Reading

"great light weight hiking boot, runs a little bigger than my Saucony running shoes."
By: MzBNani
Location: Los Angeles, CA
January 29, 2013
"These hiking boots feel sturdy and the GoreTex keeps my feet dry in the rain. My superficial side also digs the aesthetics of this hiking boot - cool colors & design.This is my first hi-top hiking boot so I'm still adjusting to the stiff support around my ankle but for anyone used to wearing this height boot, it probably won't bother them."

Best hiking boots ever!
"Well, I haven't had a chance to go hiking because of the snow, but I have been wearing the boots around in the snow and they are incredible. They are comfortable, waterproof, great tread and warm. I have had difficulty finding hiking boots. Everything I would try would either be too narrow, or the heel was too wide and would slip. These are a perfect fit. I love tennis shoes, and Saucony is my favorite, so I thought, "I'll give them a try." I am so glad I did."

|In response to Re: re-plumb under slab
So just start at the known point and work away from there digging and tracing to the main DWV line?
: A 16 pound sledge hammer and someone to operate it. Three blows will create the initial hole and you can work out from there.
: : About to start a remodel project to convert an old basement 'WC/toilet stall' into a full bath. I'll need to break open the slab and re-plumb a bunch of the DWV system obviously for the new service/fittings/etc.
: : Looking for advice on the best place to start breaking into the slab. I had planned to start close to the existing flange and work my way out little by little to the main line.
: : I want to move quickly, but I also don't want to tear up more of the floor than needed. Any advice for the best course of action?

LL.M. Degree (for non-U.S. lawyers)
Welcome to the College of William & Mary Law School's LL.M. Degree program! Our flexible start date allows students to begin in the fall or spring!
Our innovative LL.M. program is designed for foreign-educated students and attorneys who want a comprehensive overview of the American legal system. We have been welcoming students from all over the world, since 1989.
Our traditional two-semester, full-time program begins in the fall or spring semester and ends with graduation in mid-May or December. All students must take a series of classes about the American legal system in mid-August or early-January, during the week prior to the start of the semester in which you enter the LLM program. Our new three-semester, full-time LL.M. program allows students three semesters of coursework, including a specialization in a chosen legal field.
Our LL.M. students create their own program of study by either choosing a broad survey of courses or focusing on one of our many practice areas, such as business law or environmental law. Unlike many LL.M. programs, our students take classes with their J.D. student colleagues. Many also take the coursework necessary to qualify them to sit for the New York State Bar or other Bar Examinations.
We encourage admitted LL.M. students to enroll in the Legal Advantage Program, which is offered from mid-July to mid-August. This optional program is designed to help students become accustomed to the rigorous demands of law school in the United States and to improve English communication skills.
Education at William & Mary is not limited to the classroom. Throughout the year, we offer many programs and activities to enhance our students' legal study. LL.M. students have access to all of the conferences and lectures held at the Law School (such as the Supreme Court Preview in the fall), and a number of special events organized just for them.
Apply now to join the William & Mary family!
