UBS analyst Joni Teves argues in a note published today that a tough time for gold investors is likely to get tougher — but Morgan Stanley's analysts are hotter on the battered gold-mining sector.
The UBS strategist predicts that gold is "bound to struggle" as the Federal Reserve moves away from the extraordinarily loose monetary policy it has enacted since the financial crisis. Agree or not, the focus is on the "fierce" competition stocks are posing for investor dollar, which seems apt.
It's easy to see how the comparison matters if, as was surely the case for many 2013 gold ETF sellers, the last decade's high returns were the chief lure, and not the diversification benefits often touted by those with an interest in selling you this fund or the other. Hence the massive outflows from SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and other gold-bullion funds.
From Teves:
Gold's immediate reaction to the announcement was not particularly adverse, which suggests that market participants took their time to digest the various elements of the FOMC statement and Chairman Bernanke's comments. Ultimately, the Fed's decision should weigh down on gold and open up further downside from here. … Gold is bound to struggle as the Fed pursues normalisation. …
Equities are in fierce competition with gold for investor dollars and this year's trend of rotation away from gold into growth assets is expected to continue into 2014. Our equity strategists are anticipating around 15% upside for global equities next year.
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley's Paretosh Misra, Piyush Sood and Marcus Lindberg today are building a bull case for gold-mining stocks based in part on cheap valuations following the selloff.
They also note that gold miners managed to expand their EBITDA per ounce of gold by about $50 per ounce on average during the third quarter even as the price of gold was falling — the fruits of recent cost-cutting efforts. See the chart to the left.
If those miners are making deep cuts today, tomorrow's earnings are that much likelier to reflect the benefits of being lean.
In late Thursday trading, SPDR Gold Trust is down by 1.9%, while iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 2.9%. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is down 1.7%. The triple leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) are moving by about 5% apiece.
Closed-end funds Central Fund of Canada (CEF) and Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) are down by 2.6% and 2%, respectively.

Epilepsy Seizure Types and Symptoms
In this article
Partial Seizures
(Produced by a small area of the brain)
1. Simple (awareness is retained)
a. Simple Motor
b. Simple Sensory
c. Simple Psychological
|a. Jerking, muscle rigidity, spasms, head-turning
b. Unusual sensations affecting either the vision, hearing, smell taste, or touch
c. Memory or emotional disturbances
2. Complex
(Impairment of awareness)
|Automatisms such as lip smacking, chewing, fidgeting, walking and other repetitive, involuntary but coordinated movements
|3. Partial seizure with secondary generalization
|Symptoms that are initially associated with a preservation of consciousness that then evolves into a loss of consciousness and convulsions.
Partial Seizures
Partial seizures are divided into simple, complex and those that evolve into secondary generalized seizures. The difference between simple and complex seizures is that during simple partial seizures, patients retain awareness; during complex partial seizures, they lose awareness.
Simple partial seizures are further subdivided into four categories according to the nature of their symptoms: motor, autonomic, sensory, or psychological. Motor symptoms include movements such as jerking and stiffening. Sensory symptoms caused by seizures involve unusual sensations affecting any of the five senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste, or touch). When simple partial seizures cause sensory symptoms only (and not motor symptoms), they are called "auras."
Autonomic symptoms affect the autonomic nervous system, which is the group of nerves that control the functions of our organs, like the heart, stomach, bladder, intestines. Therefore autonomic symptoms are things like racing heart beat, stomach upset, diarrhea, loss of bladder control. The only common autonomic symptom is a peculiar sensation in the stomach that is experienced by some patients with a type of epilepsy called temporal lobe epilepsy. Simple partial seizures with psychological symptoms are characterized by various experiences involving memory (the sensation of deja-vu), emotions (such as fear or pleasure), or other complex psychological phenomena.
Complex partial seizures, by definition, include impairment of awareness. Patients seem to be "out of touch," "out of it," or "staring into space" during these seizures. There may also be some "complex" symptoms called automatisms. Automatisms consist of involuntary but coordinated movements that tend to be purposeless and repetitive. Common automatisms include lip smacking, chewing, fidgeting, and walking.

The technology sector as a source of dividends? It's no substitute for higher-yielding stocks and bonds. It's no "staid" investment. But it's the reason there's a Nasdaq Technology Dividend Index.
A week from today the technology-dividend index will include Apple (AAPL), NVIDIA (NVDA) SAP AG (SAP), Western Digital Corporation (WDC) and about a dozen other stocks. EarthLink (ELNK) — remember them? — is another, yielding 3.5%. Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT), too, at 3.8%. Figures are from FactSet Research Systems.
Tech is growing up. Believe it or not, the sector last year quietly surpassed consumer staples as the biggest source (in dollar terms) of dividend payouts in the S&P 500. It gets less attention because the average yield is a pretty pedestrian
2% 3% or so. The fund tracking this tech dividend index enters the week yielding 1.89%, according to FactSet. 3.38% as of late February, with an SEC 30-day yield of 2.75%, according to First Trust's website.
There's an argument that once your tech company institutes a dividend, you should run away, and fast. But shareholders in the First Trust Nasdaq Technology Dividend Index Fund (TDIV) — that's this index's fund — have been happy in 2013: This ETF is up 9.9% year to date, outpacing the Nasdaq Composite's 7.3%. Top performers YTD include Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), up 47%, and International Business Machines (IBM), up about 10%.

Laval, McMaster to meet in CIS men's finalQUEBEC CITY (March 2, 2013) – After upsetting fourth-seeded Alberta in the opening round, the tournament host Laval Rouge et Or were at it again on Saturday night and qualified for the title match of the CIS men's volleyball championship thanks to a thrilling five-set semifinal win (21-25, 26-24, 24-26, 25-23, 15-13) over the No. 1-ranked Brandon Bobcats.
In Sunday's national final at 4:30 pm ET, live on the web atwww.CIS-SIC.tv, Laval will face the No. 3 McMaster Marauders, who swept Western in three sets in the early semifinal. Brandon will face Western for bronze at 1 pm.
The Rouge et Or lost 3-1 to Trinity Western in last year's championship match.
"We are in the final tomorrow in Quebec City, and it feels amazing. I knew it would be difficult and I did not expect a soft game. I would have liked a more consistent play on our side", said Laval head coach Pascal Clément.
The third-seeded McMaster Marauders came out victorious of the Battle of Ontario, winning the first semifinal matchup of the CIS men's volleyball championship by a score of 25-23, 27-25, 25-21 over conference-rivals Western Mustangs Saturday evening in Quebec City.
For the Marauders, it will be their first-ever appearance in the national championship final, their best result being a fourth-place finish.
"Our fundamentals were very good today. Stephen Maar came in and did a very great job. We didn't serve very in the first set. We got lucky with some defence. We started to pick up our serving in the second set and we served pretty well down the stretch," said McMaster's head coach Dave Preston.

A safer approach to fighting bugs and weeds.
It is important to be aware of the different pesticides that are on the market. When one isn't aware it can lead to side effects that could potentially be harmful to pets and humans. Despite having the title "natural pest killers" many of them aren't completely safe. With that being said there are many ways to fight weeds and bugs that are safer then using chemical pesticides. One of the safe ways to fight with bugs is using Pest control Phoenix AZ as their professionals always know the best ways to deal with them.
Keep the plants healthy. When a person thinks about it, plants are in many respects, the same as a human being in one particular sense. If a person is fed well, in good physical condition, has adequate mental and emotional care and avoids stress they are not likely to get sick unlike the one who allows himself to grow fat and complacent.
For a plant it is important that the soil they have been planted in is adequate to meet their needs. For example, if there isn't enough nitrogen in the soil a soybean plant won't grow properly and will die early on in development. Bugs are in many aspects like a virus. The more healthy the plant the less likely a bug will come and attempt to eat it. Though it seems unlikely many bugs don't like certain smells. Certain herbs that are aromatic such as mint or fennel are natural deterrents for garden bugs. A plus of utilizing these herbs is that they can potentially attract the predators of the pests you're attempting to eradicate.
If a plant is near the ground this provides easy access for bugs. A way to keep them out is to spread crushed egg shells around the plant. This is like razor wire for bugs and other annoying pests. When spread properly it allows a safe environment to grow. If not dismayed don't fear. Many bugs have a common predator such as the wasp who preys on the aphid. If your home remedies don't take care of the bugs let nature run its course.
Planting in raised garden beds has become increasingly popular due to the convenient and easy care that they provide. Maintaining them is more simple because each one is treated as a smaller unit. Also, most raised garden beds are built with paths between them, which makes walking between them easier than being in the mud. If you decide to build your own, all you need is a few supplies and your imagination.
If this isn't working perhaps have a beer or better yet pour it around your plant. While we as humans would enjoy a beer insects don't. Flour, salt, and beer are viable home pesticide remedies in addition to a mixture of ammonia and water for slugs, a solution of half skim milk and water for fungus, and chili powder for protecting a plant that is blooming from squirrels and other ilk. There are many ways to utilize the internet. Use it, for perhaps using chemicals on a plant isn't the best way to go about caring for it.

Oh, it could have been so much worse. Imagine if the "new" Republican Party had won the White House. The Party of lies and distortions. The Party of "legal rape." The Party of "birthers." The Party of gay-bashing. The Party catering to Big Pharma, big insurance, and the horrible mixture of war and corporate wealth. The Party of special favors for the wealthy. The Party of Palin, Cheney, Bush, Rove, Dan Quayle, Beck, Linbaugh, Trump. Imagine what could have happened. Imagine the Tea Party holding even more control. Imagine anti-intellectualism being heralded. Imagine our foreign policy formulated by mythology and special favors. We were on the brink of this. Whew!
Now we are again faced with a Republican House of Representatives and a Democratic Senate.
Laughingly, House Speaker Boehner offered that the two Parties have to come together. His Party's leader in the U.S. Senate [McConnell] had announced that the Number One goal in America was to make Obama a one-term President. That is what masquerades as bi-partisanship?
Am I celebrating Barack Obama's re-election? Yes, but only because of the alternative. It is embarrassing that we get the low level of candidates we do running for President and Vice President. These offices are for sale. Billions were spent to un-seat Obama, and we cannot even trace where all that money came from. Stealth wealth is doing its best to take over our democracy. It almost succeeded. It will not sleep until they get it all. The major political offices, the federal budget, tax breaks for the wealthy, wars for profit, turning our backs on the needy and underserved, and the "other" get demeaned in the process. This is not some cute little political battle between Republicans and Democrats. This is a battle for supremacy in America. The U.S. and the world are held in the balance.
War makes for profits. Therefore war is good for the American wealth oligarchy. Sacrificing your sons and daughters is considered simple fodder for profit. America is not a "house on a hill." America is fast becoming a successful place for the few...a mansion on the hill. And you get the drainage.
Wake up, America! Get involved. Insist on democracy. Make your elected officials answer to you, as is inteneded in our Constitution. America is on the brink of being stolen from you. Bi-partisanship is not a goal, it is a necessity. Stop being a stooge. Stop being duped. Demand more. Demand better.
Perhaps Obama's second term will be better than his first. Perhaps his altruism will come forward. Perhaps he will be freed a little from political restraints and election considerations. He is smart enough to do great things for America. So far he has not delivered. Call him on it.
On October 31st, a column by Richard Cohen of The Washington Post appeared around the country. Here is part of what he wrote:
"On the movie screen, Robert F. Kennedy's appeal is obvious: authenticity. He cared. He showed it. People saw that, and cared about him in return. With Obama, the process is reversed. It's hard to care about someone who seems not to care in return. I will vote for him for his good things and I will vote for him to keep Republican vandals from sacking the government. But after watching Bobby Kennedy, I will vote for Obama with regret. I wish he was the man I once mistook him for."

The Superfast models are the superlative sports watches. Their imposing case gives them a powerful presence on the wrist thanks to a boldly assertive personality.

It will also participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a mythical race that Porsche has already won 16 times.
The sporty, sophisticated, powerful and imposing Superfast Automatic, Power Control and Chrono are all equipped with Chopard movements, which are produced in the Fleurier Ebauches workshops. All the bridges are openworked with thin parallel lines in the style of cooling vents on sports cars - an unusual finish which allows the inner workings of the movement to be tirelessly admired through the transparent case-back.
The imposing case of Superfast models is taken from cooling fins on racing engines which gives them a powerful presence on the wrist thanks to a boldly assertive personality.

Comments: I have tried many brands and shoes and was very excited to try these when they first came out last year. Ever since my first pair I knew this is "my shoe". I run every from 5ks to ultras. These shoes saw me through my first fifty miler. I LOVE this shoe. Just enough cushion, arch support and all. I'm hopeful that the new model is just as good.
From: Marisa. October 23rd 2014
Comments: I'm about 4 months into these shoes now. These are my first pair of traditional running shoes after running in minimalist shoes for 4 years. I was afraid of starting a new relationship with a traditional shoe because they have so much extra bulk, but due to increasing mileage, it was time. So far, I love them. There was no "break-in" period with these, they fit me well immediately (over-pronater). The longest run I have taken them on so far is a 13mi, and my feet feel fine-the shoes seem to be a good balance of nimble & sleek, yet cushioned. I do about 40 miles a week and these shoes suit me perfectly for everyday use. As with the previous reviews, I concur that the top mesh does in fact wear out easily-I first noticed it about 3 months into the pair. I usually use that as an indication that I need a new pair of shoes, but I don't feel that's the case with these. Overall, great shoes; aesthetically with the mesh issue can use some improvements. I'll probably try out the Sayonara 2 that just came out.
From: Lindsay, Orange County, CA, USA. September 4th 2014
Comments: I was really disappointed in these shoes. They wore out so quickly. I got holes in the uppers and on the sides after less than 2 months. I wanted to get my money's worth out of them so I kept running in them and just managed to make my knees and shins hurt. The worst thing I can say though is that I was amazed how quickly these shoes got holes in the uppers. I've never owned a pair of shoes where that has happened before. Very disappointing. I had been in love with my wave precisions and these were an awful replacement.
From: Dawnery, Dallas, TX, USA. 4/5/14
Comments: I'm not brand loyal but after wearing the Precision 13 in different colors for my last couple of marathons, I decided to order the Sayonara for my next marathon. I run on the balls of my feet/forefront so I really didn't need all of the heel action in the Precision 13s. However, I loved the amount of room in the the toe box area of the Precision 13. When I'm on the road for long runs I wear the Adidas Boost. The Adidas boost has a sturdy solid base and is great for street runs but I wanted something with a little more bend under my feet. I thought about wearing my Adidas Adios (original version) but after 13 miles or so I can feel the road under my feet...which is a no no for me. The Sayonara was a perfect blend of bend and sturdiness for the entire duration of my marathon. I never felt like I was running barefoot and the energy return was excellent. I highly recommend the Sayonara. It is a fabulous sneaker...but note it is not roomy in the front like the Precision 13. I've only worn it three times so I can't comment on how long they'll hold up...keeping my fingers crossed that I will not see holes in the mesh anytime soon.
From: Kimmie, Bklyn, NY USA

KHL Highlights: Kovalchuk Staying?
Steve Dangle
January 08 2013 10:53PM
Speculation is flying that Kovalchuk might stay in the KHL, Ryan O'Reilly is still playing until he signs a new deal with the Avalanche, and KHL President Medvedev is pretty much threatening war against the NHL.
Ignore the KHL now? The fun might just be getting started. Enjoy!
Kovalchuk looks good but Ak Bars looks better.
Ryan O'Reilly continues to produce amongst uncertain.
Lightning prospect Andrei Vasilevsky gets a shutout in his first career KHL shutout.
Lokomotiv earns a win over Minsk. Lokomotiv lost some NHL talent, but remains a strong team.
Vityaz wins win Andrei Markov still in the lineup.
From January 7, Avangard beats Amur.
Gong show, basically.
And the Daily KHL Update from Jan 7, 2013.
January 08 2013, 11:45PM
Sorry Steve, your cool and all (even for a leafs fan) but i'm going to have to break up with you. I have found someone else and their name is the NHL. It wasn't you, it's me. I hope you can understand this and that there will be no hard feelings between us.
Cheers WBC.
Also... FIST!!!
January 09 2013, 06:21AM
...is that the first 'blog-breakup' at OilersNation?
Ridiculous... like he's Gretzky or something...
January 09 2013, 01:54PM
All joking aside Steve, your KHL coverage has been great. Thanks!
January 09 2013, 06:49PM
I hope we keep the KHL highlights here. I've started looking forward to them, and feeling a touch of withdrawal during the parts of the week when they're not.
And my second reaction to the lockout ending, immediately after "Do I care?", was "How will this affect the K? I mean, Magnitogorsk just lost Malkin, Kulemin, and Gonchar. But the likes of Traktor and Lokomotive could stay strong." I want to stick around and find out.
Kovolchuck and datsyuk are staying for the allstar game in Russia then coming back. Do u think he would jeapordize his chances of not going to the Olympics by staying in Russia. Especially when the Olympics are in Russia.
I'm pretty sure he will come back, the NHL doesn't always make the best decisions but they are the best league in the world bar none.
In Datsyuk's case, he got permission from the Detroit Red Wings organization to allow him to play in the KHL all star game.

Comments: Have almost worn mine out and am looking for a replacement pair. These hold up so much better than the Saucony Genesis and Kinvara ( my 2 previous shoes.)
From: Sherri, Adairsville, GA, USA
Comments: I LOVE these shoes too - just bought my 2nd pair and Running Warehouse got them here quickly and at a good price (thank you)!!! I haven't exercised much lately, but recently wore these for a 5 mile walk and my feet felt fantasic during and after that walk. These are by far the best running shoes I've ever owned.
From: Peg, Greensboro, NC, USA
Comments: I LOVE these shoes. I am approaching 300 miles on them and they're almost like the day I got them. Definitely a good shoe with good support. I run approx 20 miles a week mostly 3 mile runs and some 5-6 mile runs mixed in as well...To give you an idea of what kind of running I'm doing with this shoe. Highly recommend this shoe.

Emery County observed Patriots Day in a variety of ways. Programs were presented at Emery High School, Cleveland Elementary and Canyon View Junior High. Flag ceremonies were held at Huntington Elementary and Ferron Elementary. Flags flew throughout the communities in the county as everyone remembered the tragic events of that September two years ago. The county also observed the moment of silence which was held throughout the nation at the exact time when the first plane hit the World Trade Center and led by Pres. George W. Bush.
Students from Canyon View Junior High also participated in an essay, art and poem contest to express their feelings on the events of September 11, 2001. Principal Larry Davis spoke at the program and read the winning essays to the students. They also had a flag ceremony and performances by the Canyon View Band and Chorus groups. The video that was prepared in honor of those perishing on September 11 was shown as well as a video prepared by Canyon View staff at the time of the tragedy.

Patriot Day
By Larry Davis
Born into war though I didn't know,
Of Korea until years later
In US history in my tiny high school
On the juniper uplands of southeastern Idaho.
It was a war that wasn't a war
Though fifty thousand Americans died
And I was born into their death a
Free infant of the soil.
Raised into war though I didn't know
of the Iron Curtain until I
Researched it in the library of my tiny high school
In the Gem State cool air of a Rocky Mountain Plateau.
Though millions of Europeans died
And I was raised into their death a
Free young American of the wind.
Cultured into war though I didn't know
Of Vietnam until I
Cried at the funeral of a friend in the tiny Idaho church
In an America-torn test of freedom defined.
It was a war that mystified war
Though still more Americans died
Counter-culture test of civil rights.
Aged into war though I didn't know'Of the quilted Soviet Union until I
Said goodbye to my daughter in tiny words of love
In the military camp�soldiers sent to Bosnia.
It is a war that is just a sentence of wars
In history-book paragraphs and pages of greater wars
And I was born into its night a
Father proud and shaped again by freedom's hand.
Redefined into war though I didn't know
Of terrorist's threats on American soil until I
Watched the towers dust and smoke into tiny oblivion
In Empire State cool air of a September Tuesday morning.
It is a war of concrete technology against abstract hate
In Baghdad'd city streets and Afghanistan's barren hills
And I am born repatriated, a little angry and perplexed
As freedom's clock moves one tick at a time.
Acclimated to war though I didn't know
It would take a life-time of wars to realize the debt I owe
Growing old in freedom, growing young in understanding
In America's golden resolve never to give way.
It is a war of philosophy and way of life hundreds of years old
But only ageless when defended at any cost
And though I've never carried an M-16 or launched a rocket
I've fought many wars and wll fight more.
Though I didn't know, but
I'm never too old to learn.
This poem was written in honor of the author's cousin, Dane Lyons. He was called to arms immediatly after the attacks. He served in the US Marine Corps for several months in Iraq. He is currently serving in San Diego, Calif. It was later rededicated to Jessica Johansen and Casey Reid, who are also her cousins, when they joined the US Navy.
The Military, America's Saints
By Jacie Fasselin
Across the distance,
across the states,
over the oceans they may go
these are America's saints.
They leave as who they were and then come back,
with a sense of American pride.
It is here,
our differences are set aside.
America's heroes is who they are,
to their country they belong.
They are of greatest honor,
for they have gone above and beyond.
We all live on a strand of hope
and so do they,
we ask God
that come home our heroes may.
over the oceans,
their destiny awaits.
We hope that they can forget
the horrors that they have learned,
we hope that they shall receive
all the honor they have earned.
They mustn't be
without them
could America be free?
In the depths of their souls,
they have found strengths
they left their families and dreams behind.
It is to them we owe thanks.
in their worthy hand, is America's fate.
United States
By Nicole Smith
United together as one
Nation still standing strong
Even though many have
Died on the Dreaded
September Morning when the
Towers came crashing down killing
Almost everyone inside.
Terrorists will never win
Especially not in these United
The Twin Towers
By Nikki Carter
The Twin Towers,
Standing tall,
Standing bright,
But all will change
In the blink of an eye,
The Towers were gone,
Leaving behind a pile,
So listen to the cries,
Listen to the tears,
For now there is nothing left,
But sorrow and fears.
By Treasa Colby
Remember those who were lost
For hatred
Remember all those who were saved
by heroes
Remember all those who fight
for freedom
Remember the tears
of pain
Remember the words
said in vain
Remember those fighting today
for that September day.
Do You Remember?
By Brett Mecham
Do you remember on that day of September?
What happened that day?
The dust, the rubble, the shooting embers,
The smoke as dark as a cave.
Do you remember the planes in the sky?
The hijackers aboard,
All the innocent people alive
Until into buildings and fields they soared.
Do you remember all the wonderful people?
The heroes of that day.
Firefighters, policemen, all kinds of people,
And the pilots on the planes.
Do you remember when the towers fell?
With all the people inside,
With the dust, rubble and the smell
Not many were alive.
Do you remember what you did thay day?
Were you teaching a class on geometry
And suddenly became for that day
A teacher of US history?
Do you remember the word called freedom?
What does it mean?
If you ever have a question,
Look at the flag of our country.
9/11 was supposed to change us forever.
It changed us that's for sure.
But do you remember...
We're stronger than ever before.
I Remember
By Josh Kingston
I remember, how we felt that day when the world dropped to their knees and prayed. When men cried and heroes wept, the time that not one man slept, the memories always to be kept. The souls we lost that September day, the thoughts we think, the words we say. Remember how we felt for years to come, heart broken to most, fear to some. But however you felt, remember my plea, show America your loyalty.
I Remember
By Camille Fehlberg
Two years ago, a great tragedy occurred. Now as we look back as a nation and as individuals, there are many things that are remembered about September 11. In the essay are things I remember.
September 11, 2001, this was a day of confusion, shock and tragedy. When I walked into school and the news is on constantly showing replays of a planes crashing into two huge buildings and overhearing the news a feeling of disbelief ran through my head. But as I learned more of the seriousness of the situation, a more shocked feeling came upon me. Learning that thousands of people had died, firefighters had risked their own lives to save someone they didn't even know. Then as more time passed I remember mourning, sadness, memorials, and speeches. But the thing that I remember most about 9-11 was for once people quit caring about themselves and about the people in those buildings. Yes, the thing I remember about September 11, 2001, was that from that day on we became a united nation more than ever.
By Scotty Phillips
Two towers. So many tears.
Mourning and weeping.
As we see the broken souls.
The innocent lives.
Children left confused.
We may never know the reason.
The planes.
The brave ones.
The families and loved ones.
Still wondering why...
"Could I have stopped them
from getting on the plane?"
No matter what you think or say.
You just can't turn back that solemn day.
This day as we know it is a time
for us to show that we care.
A time to remember. Maybe even a
time to pray. For America. For the
families of the
As small as you are, keep in your
heart, that you're a part of America
A country of brave, heroic people.
Remember, even the little things each
day, can make a difference.
"If you change a heart, you change the world."
Smile. Say hello to a sad person.
Make the world a better place.
Make America a better place.
Be thankful for living in America.
"The land of the free,
and the home of the brave."

Flames send six to World Junior camps
Ryan Pike
December 05 2012 09:32AM
After weeks of anticipation, six Calgary Flames prospects got the call from their respective countries. Each player was invited to try out for his respective Under-20 National team to represent them at this December's IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships in Ufa, Russia.
Laurent Brossoit - Team Canada
2011 sixth round selection Laurent Brossoit, currently with the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings, will be vying for a spot between the pipes for Team Canada. The 19-year-old product of Surrey, British Columbia suited up for Team Canada at the summer Summit Series in Russia and for Team WHL at the Subway Super Series last month. He also represented Team Pacific at 2009 U-17 Tournament, was named WHL playoff MVP last season en route to a championship, and played in the Memorial Cup.
In terms of big-game experience, none of Canada's four prospective goaltenders has his resume.
Tyler Wotherspoon - Team Canada
2011 second round selection Tyler Wotherspoon will be fighing for one of seven blueline spots for Canada. A resident of Surrey and a childhood pal of Brossoit, Wotherspoon really jumped ahead on the WHL's depth charts due to his partnership with likely Team USA stalwart and top rated prospect Seth Jones in Portland.
The Winterhawks blueliner has had a decent offensive year (3 goals, 21 points), but is mostly known for playing a solid, often physical, defensive game. Despite that, he has only taken two minor penalties this season and is among the CHL's leaders with a plus-34 rating. His big-game experience includes trips to the WHL finals in each of the last two seasons and an appearance with Team Pacific at the 2009 U-17s.
Markus Granlund - Team Finland
The other 2011 second round pick (both acquired in the Tim Erixon trade) is Markus Granlund, who'll be looking to return to Finland's junior club. Granlund hasn't had an amazing offensive year in SM-Liiga without big brother Mikael (just 12 points in 25 games), currently in the AHL with Houston, but he's got a ton of international experience. He's played in the U-17s, two U-18s and was on last year's Finnish national junior team.
Jon Gillies - Team USA
Calgary's 2012 third round choice, Jon Gillies will be one of three goalies for Team USA. Depending on the condition of likely American starter John Gibson, Gillies may play a game or two. While he has no international experience, Gillies has been lights-out for Providence College in the NCAA as an 18-year-old (14 games played. .930 SV%). The New Hampshire native will most likely get a lot more offensive support with the American team than he does with his college team.
Patrick Sieloff - Team USA
In a bit of a surprise, Windsor Spitfires blueliner (and 2012 second round pick) Patrick Sieloff is on the preliminary roster for the United States' entry. From the Detroit area, Sieloff has been a big physical presence for a middling Spits club. He has also represented his country at the U-17s and U-18s, where he won silver and gold medals, respectively. An alternate captain last year at the U-18s, Sieloff may bring a combination of leadership and physicality that is often missing from international tournaments.
Johnny Gaudreau - Team USA
Finally, to the shock of precisely nobody, Johnny Gaudreau was invited to Team USA's camp. The 19-year-old product of Carney's Point, New Jersey has had a fantastic couple of years. He won a USHL championship, was drafted by the Calgary Flames, was a point-per-game player in his freshman year with Boston College, won both the conference and national championships, and was the MVP of his conference's playoff tournament. His only set-back? Being one of the last cuts at last year's World Junior camp. Somehow I doubt that happens again.
Final rosters for the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championships are expected to be named just before Christmas. The tournament begins on December 26, with the gold medal game going January 5. We'll definitely have lots of coverage of whatever Flames prospects end up heading over to Ufa for the tournament.
Flames WJC Hopefuls Series
December 05 2012, 10:12AM
I would say that Gaudreau is a shoe-in. Gillies has a very good shot at making it, and Sieloff will get a good look for the US.
Granlund should also be in that "penned-in" category for the Finns.
Canada will be the interesting one.
Brossoit deserves to be there, but I wonder if his "making it", might have more politics behind it, just because of the depth Canada has in goal.
Wotherspoon is the one that I think is really iffy. I'd love to see him there but when they are talking about guys like Dumba being on the bubble, then you have to think Tyler is there as well. Let's all hope he has a great camp, and really shows the selection committee something special.
December 05 2012, 10:26AM
With apologies to the other prospects and Team Canada, I'll be watching this WJC primarily for Johnny G playing, especially because he might end up on a line with Alex Galchenyuk (49 points in 29 games in the OHL so far).
That is a photo of Tristan Jarry, not Laurent Brossoit.
December 05 2012, 10:35AM
Damn you google image search.
Not to nitpick Ryan!
Thanks for pulling this together

With apologies to the other prospects and Team Canada, I'll be watching this WJC primarily for Johnny G playing, especially because he might end up on a line with Alex Galchenyuk (49 points in 29 games in the OHL so far).
I'd say that goes for everyone, except maybe JustinAzevedo (only person I can think of who might be more interested in the goalies than skaters). I still want Canada to win gold, especially if Brossoit ends up in net, but my major preference is seeing Gaudreau light up all countries, Canada included (preferably not with Brossoit in net).
Also on Sieloff, there was an article in the Herald on him, and in the pics he looks strikingly like a younger Cory Sarich. I've begun to believe that he's Sarich reincarnate (albeit substantially better on his skates and a tad smaller), which would be totally okay by me.
December 05 2012, 10:59AM
I honestly cannot wait for the WJC. With the lockout, my hunger for this tournament is at an all time high, especially with actually seeing Flames prospects playing in it this year.
Kent, Gillies has a .930 sv%, not .903. Typo?
I think Sieloff has a decent shot at the US team. For me, the locks are Jones, Trouba, Skjei, Murphy, and Gostisbehere, which means Sieloff is competing directly with McCabe, Grzelcyk, and Reilly for the last 2 spots. With Gostisbehere on the team, they would want at most 1 more small offensive guy, and if they take either Grzelcyk or Reilly, that means they might want grit--which gives Sieloff an edge over McCabe.
December 05 2012, 01:59PM
Yeah typo. 0.930 is correct.
December 05 2012, 02:59PM
Sounds like things are getting serious in the meeting rooms. I keep hearing Friday latest for a deal. Hockey, hockey , hockey!
December 05 2012, 03:05PM
I hope the Flames prospects that do make it perform well, but those that play against Team Canada can go to hell. I want the team that represents my country to do well first. The flames prospects can shine when and if they actually become Flames players.
Well, I'm hoping Laurent Brossoit will shine in goal and bring home Canada a gold medal. Wotherspoon has a shot at making the team, maybe third pairing.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Gaudreau play for the first time.
I'll be cheering for Canada but I'm hoping they match up against the States for the gold.
December 05 2012, 05:53PM
If I recall correctly the Flames have not sent that many prospects in a while to various camps. Ortio and Nemisz come to mind, but my memory on recent Flame prospects making WJC rosters is shoddy.
Is their a comp for # and quality this year vs the last 5-10?
December 05 2012, 06:16PM
Last year had Baertschi, Arnold, and Granlund. Prior to that, Backlund, Phaneuf, and... uh...
December 05 2012, 07:25PM
forgot Erixon, Irving (played 0 minutes; Price's backup), Boyd, Nystrom, Ramage, Aulie (remarkably. Unsurprisingly, he was terrible), Wahl.
Brodie would have made it at least once, but Canada had a ridiculously good blueline in both his eligible seasons (guys like Subban, Pietrangelo, Myers, Ellis, De Haan, Cowen, Teubert, and Hamonic).
December 05 2012, 08:17PM
Boyd, Erixon and Aulie come to mind. That's about it when it comes to the modern era I think.
According to USA Coach Phil Housley, it looks like he is one of a growing list of people who are fan's of Pat Sieloff's game. Honestly wasn't very happy that we used a second round pick on Sieloff (How many defensive defenseman does our organization need?) in June's draft, but after watching him in a recent Friday Night Hockey on Sportsnet he impressed the hell out of me. He is a much better skater than I expected and loved his heads up play and positioning. Looks like he is almost a lock from what Housley has said.
Also Gillies is a lock to make the team as at least the third netminder. Considering that the US only invited three netminders to camp and like Canada plan on taking as many overseas.
Considering Gaudreauby Baker is a first line lock Calgary will be well represented by the USA.
Interested to see how Wotherspoon does as he has been lights out for Portland playing with Jones and might win a shutdown spot. His biggest competition is Xavier Ouellet and Griffin Reinhart one of which has had a very mediocre season in Edmonton and the other is coming off injury. Still cannot believe that Reinhart went 4th ahead of Morgan Reilly... Outside of the family name, all I see is a big 6-4 200 Pound softy, who's offensive numbers have tapered off since his 16 year-old season.
Think Wotherspoon might suprise some people and make the team as every year Canada suprises by taking one or two shutdown specific defenders. Case in point Scott Harrington last year also like when Danny Syvret made it over Mike Green in 2005.
After redeeming himself in the Subway Series after a lousy Memorial Cup and Russia vs. Canada super series, Laurent Brossoit would have to play his way out of a Top Two spot.

Studying Subglacial Lakes, Ice Sheet Dynamics and Tectonics in Antarctica with Aerogeophysics
The polar regions play a critical role in Earth's climatic and geodynamic systems. Although located far from the main centers of human civilization, the polar atmosphere and oceans have strong global connections and therefore directly affect climate, landscape evolution, the global biosphere and human society. Over geologic time scales, Antarctic geodynamic processes are a major influence on ice sheet dynamics and global environmental change, which affects current and long-term, large-scale sea-level change.
My research at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University links solid Earth geophysics and glaciology, providing unique research opportunities. I use integrated sets of aerogeophysical data, including gravity, magnetics, ice-penetrating radar, and laser altimeter measurements, to study physical processes linking tectonics, ice sheet dynamics and life in extreme environments, such as subglacial lakes.

"I ordered these in the black and just received them today. I am OBSESSED!!!!! The suede is gorgeous, and they fit true to size. The studs are darker than they appear in the photo, more of a hematite instead of a bright silver, but I think that adds to the richness instead of making them look too gothic/grunge/punk. (Not the look I'm going for) :) Hanging on to one last ounce of self control, but I think I'll be purchasing the taupe!!! Definately a must have for fall."

Producer Adam Leipzig knows a thing or two about dealing with studio decision makers after having been one himself. A former Disney executive, Leipzig supervised a handful of popular films, including Dead Poets Society and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. "I have a secret to tell you about the gatekeepers," says Leipzig. "They're just like us. They're just like you and me. At their core they want to be artists too. They have to say 'no' most of the time [and] most of the time they have to pass, but secretly, deeply they want to say 'yes.'"
Let's face it. Being in a room with studio executives can be tough. But when you get the chance to sit with a gatekeeper, the best thing to do is open up. "Make no mistake, that unless you are prepared to share the secrets that you are afraid of sharing, nobody has to listen to what you have to say," advises Leipzig. "In order to be artists, we need to be in our studios, in our private rooms, on our laptops, in our coffee shops and in our private personal space. [This way] we can be in that safe, protective space so that we can make our work. That's the place where we can be free enough and vulnerable enough to share what we have to share." You need to open up to the gatekeepers about your project like you would when you are alone. Don't be afraid to show emotion and throw everything out on the table.
So how should an aspiring filmmaker talk to a gatekeeper? Rambling on about your characters and plot can make you look like a talking head. Instead, Leipzig suggests that you show passion for the story you're selling. "There is this moment where you have to move from this very inward and focused place, where you have worked inside yourself in this vulnerable place, and open the door and step outside and turn yourself inside-out so you can talk to them," he says. "And you have to begin to think like them. You have to begin to think like your audience. You have to think like your buyer." To do this, you'll need to prove that you have an audience in the first place. The studio executives need to know that there will be an audience for your film so that he or she can say "yes."
"The people who run studios right now are bored," Leipzig reports. "They are bored with sequels. They are bored with remakes. They are bored with doing things that they have been doing for the past three or four years." 2012 was the year of the $100 million independent movie, as Cloud Atlas, Django Unchained and Life of Pi were all $100 million indie movies that were partially funded by studios. To get a studio executive to say yes to a project, you have to speak their language. You have to present the evidence by specifically naming other projects that are similar to the movie you want to make. That is the truth test.
"Whether they are movies, TV shows, webisodes, books or seminars, anything it is we wish to offer, if we can't find five [projects] in the past five years that are in some way similar, we need to go back into our rooms and rethink because the audience will not be there to greet us," says Leipzig. "And then we have to be really strict with ourselves and focus on quality. The biggest enemy of all of us is the willingness to except mediocrity. It's our willingness not to be tough on ourselves and call things out. To look at something that is ugly and unattractive and say, 'hey, that's ugly and unattractive.' If you follow those steps, if you accept that challenge, if you focus on quality, call out your own evidence, turn yourself inside-out, listen to your audience and know who your audience is before you go in, then when you walk into the room of the gatekeepers, the gates open wide for you. You need to valiant poetic warriors in your quest of honor."

Clothes and Heritage: Chinese American Clothes from the Virginia Lee Mead Collection
Lee B. Lok (1869 – 1942) immigrated to San Francisco from the Tai shan District, Guangdong Province, China in 1881. Soon after arrival he moved to New York City's Chinatown where he worked in the Quong Yuen Shing & Co. general store. With some English skills he became head of the store in 1894 allowing him to upgrade his identity papers from "coolie" to "merchant." This change in status exempted him from the restrictions imposed by the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which barred the entry of Chinese laborers who had not already been in the United States. This change enabled Lee to marry Ng Shee in China circa 1900 and return to New York. Living above the store at 32 Mott Street, the couple raised seven children.
Mr. Lee behind the counter (in the center) of the Quong Yuen Shing & Co. store, c. 1917
In New York, Lee founded the Chinese Merchants Association, and in 1918 he was recognized as a prominent member of the Chinese community; however U.S. laws prohibited him from becoming an American citizen. His children all attended college becoming teachers, doctors and business people.

1895 - 1896 Chinese American Man's Gown
- Description (Brief)
- Lee B. Lok (1869-1942) immigrated to San Francisco from Guangdong Province, China in 1881 and soon after moved to New York City's Chinatown where he worked in the Quong Yuen Shing & Co. store.
- Lee B. Lok ordered this gown from China to wear at the 1896 arrival ceremony in New York of Li Hongzhang, emissary of the Empress Dowager of China. Soon after Lee came to America he abandoned Chinese clothes for daily use and cut his queue. However on special occasions Lee wore clothing that identified him as Chinese. This Manchu style gown splits at the back, front, and both sides to allow for easy movement on horseback – a reflection of the Manchu people's equestrian background.

Great boots
"These are awesome, feel great since you try them on, no need to break them. I have really thick ankles and calves and they feel snugly, I wouldn't be able to get my pants in them but I never wear my pants tugged into the boots so no problem here. They are really warn in the outside and you don't get "cooked" in them inside. The sole has good traction. They are my new favorite. The only thing I miss, as in most boots in the market, it's not enough arc support."

Awesome boots!
"I wanted a shearling lined leather boot. What I GOT was an amazingly comfortable, warm, stylish boot that is waterproof! I hardly had to break these in and the leather is so tough yet soft. And I was afraid the square toe would be masculine but, there is a graceful rounding of the leather that makes my not so narrow foot look almost dainty! You will love these, I do!"
