The Emery County Commissioners met in their July meeting. An item tabled from the previous meeting was discussed and tabled again. The commission discussed whether to start the process to be part of the resolution creating the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition. The seven counties involved include, Emery, Grand, Carbon, Uintah, San Juan, Daggett and Duchesne. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he has heard from some people in the county with concerns. Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Director spoke to the issue. He said the main focus for creating this new entity is to secure funding. The coalition could apply for funds from the Community Impact Board. They want to look at projects in rail and transportation and help them along with the permitting processes including NEPA and environmental impact assessments. All seven counties would cooperate equally in the coalition. Each would appoint a representative from that county to sit on the board. McCandless said the memorandum of understanding for the seven counties has been in place for several months. The creation of an entity would help knock down barriers to economic expansion in the seven county area. Projects which might see an economic benefit would benefit the entire coalition with the breakdown of 70 percent going to the county involved and the other 20 percent being distributed to the other counties involved and 10 percent back into the coalition to operate and fund future projects.
Jeff Guymon spoke as a concerned citizen. He said he has concerns with another government entity being created. He thinks the infrastructure is already in place to make these things happen without creating another layer of bureaucracy. If the group gets into trouble financially then who is responsible? If the coalition defaults then would it go back to those who created the organization?
County Attorney David Blackwell said the entity has made provisions as best they could to hold harmless the counties involved. "If they go defunct then the only way they could be held harmless was if they don't owe anyone any money."
McCandless pointed out the county has been involved with projects in the past involving private companies. One example is the road to Lila Canyon. Some large projects need approval from multiple counties. One project the coalition would like to see move forward is the railroad facility into the Uintah Basin. It's been talked about for years. These large projects need cooperation from multiple counties as well as agencies.
McCandless said he sees the CIB funding as the major reason for forming the entity.
Guymon said the Special Service District number one is in place for roads. He sees this coalition as one more step removed from the public eyes and input. He believes that businesses should own the land and pay taxes on it to benefit the counties. "I believe in simplified government," said Guymon.
Brenda Tuttle the clerk/auditor said with the special service districts, then the county always knows what it is liable for. With this group, the county could be out on a limb with whatever the group decides to do.
Commissioner James Nelson said his concern is being left out of the mix, should Emery County decide not to move forward with the rest of the counties.
McCandless said the county does need protections in the agreement and the intent is to knock down barriers ahead of the curve with projects. Ray Petersen, public lands director asked don't we have the ability to do that now? McCandless said the Association of Governments helps with that as do local special service districts, but each county has a different process so the seven county organization could lead a consistent organization for all seven counties.
Any final document prepared by the seven county coalition would need approval by the county.
McCandless suggested the county wait to approve until all its questions are answered. Clarification of financial responsibilities that might be incurred by the county must be adequately addressed before entering into an agreement.
The next meeting of the seven county coalition is in the first week of August. Commissioner Nelson made a motion to table the item. Commissioner Horrocks said he views the seven county coalition as a good thing as long as it doesn't encumber the county. Commissioner Nelson said we need to make sure we get our share along with the other counties.
Commissioner Migliori agreed to table the item, but expressed concern that the county might need to take somewhat of a risk to be able to move ahead with economic development. He views the coalition as a tool for economic development and if the county isn't willing to take some risk, then we will stay the same. The topic will be discussed again in the July 22 commission meeting.
The commission denied an ambulance write-off request for Brandi Seyler. The commission will look into the matter further.
The commission approved the contract with Johansen and Tuttle Engineering for design of the Huntington State Park Trail System. The trail is between Huntington and Huntington Lake. The trail is being completed with a grant from the state parks recreational trails division. Money is also being provided by the Emery County Travel Bureau. This first phase will tackle the steep hill into fishermans cove.
The commission approved the Emergency Management Performance Grant Articles of Agreement for FY 2014 for the sheriff's office. The grant is for $30,000. The commission ratified the Cooperative Agreement for Noxious Weed Management between the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands and Emery County Weed and Mosquito Department.
The commission approved the amendment to the cooperative agreement with the NRCS for the work on the debris basins in Huntington Canyon. This agreement extends the work through the fall of this year. There is work going on now and hopefully approval will be given soon from the Army Corp of Engineers to begin work on the lower debris basin.
McCandless explained the Reciprocal Grants of Easement between State of Utah and Emery Refining, L.L.C. These will allow access to the remaining properties in the industrial park in Green River. When the railroad is put through there on the old highway 6, that road will be destroyed. Access will need to be placed elsewhere on the property. The easements will also allow for utilities to come into the properties.
Commissioner Migliori reported the Emery County Business Chamber luncheon will be on July 16. The speaker will be Neal Peacock and he will talk about leadership skills. The historical preservation society will have the cut out silhouettes of the Spanish Trail put out on the desert in July sometime. The rocket competition was held in Green River. The Castle Dale Stake youth conference did some service projects in the county. Migliori attended the Moab business conference and there were several attendees from Carbon and Emery counties and he was glad to see the counties supporting each other. Demolition work will begin at the Huntington ball complex this week. Fencing will be available from the tear down if any of the cities want to make use of it.
Commissioner Nelson reported they will need a water connection on the road department property for when the ditch is converted to the pipeline. The road department will continue to need water at that location. The libraries are doing away with the Dewey Decimal system for some of their books and they will be grouped by topics. The Emery Water Conservancy District met in their water meeting. In two weeks, Joe's Valley had more water run into it, than all of last year. Joe's Valley did not spill. Millsite did spill. Dredging will begin at Millsite on Thursday. Some debris has been pulled out of Huntington River in anticipation of the monsoon season. A public hearing will be held on July 28 at a 1 p.m. to discuss the contract between the Bureau of Reclamation and the Emery Water Conservancy District.
Commissioner Horrocks said he has been occupied with maintenance work on the low income apartments and getting them ready for their inspection. They have passed the inspection both the buildings and the financial inspection. He has been working on getting the books in order and plans are being made to hire a part-time maintenance person for the buildings.
The commission approved a business license for Payne's Courier Service. They approved to hire Tracy Clark as the full time Correction Cook with benefits. Brent Ward was moved from a Correction Officer I to Correction Officer II for completing two consecutive years on the job. Kenneth Eley, Jr was promoted from Patrol Deputy I to Patrol Deputy II for completing three consecutive years on the job.

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

The card says that when attached to a Basic Pokémon, it counts as every type (but only counts as one Energy). This means that you don't have to--in fact, can't--choose to make it a different type.
Except (assuming this is possible) if you transfer it from a Basic Pokémon to one that is not Basic. Then it becomes Colorless.
Hope this helps!

Skip to comments.Armed Neo-Nazis Now Patrolling Sanford, Say They Are "Prepared" For Post-Trayvon Martin Violence
Posted on 04/06/2012 11:28:42 PM PDT by Pride_of_the_Bluegrass
Neo-Nazis are currently conducting heavily armed patrols in and around Sanford, Florida and are "prepared" for violence in the case of a race riot. The patrols are to protect "white citizens in the area who are concerned for their safety" in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting last month, says Commander Jeff Schoep of the National Socialist Movement. "We are not advocating any type of violence or attacks on anybody, but we are prepared for it," he says. "We are not the type of white people who are going to be walked all over."
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.miaminewtimes.com ...
Yeah, this has really gotten out of hand quite quickly.
So Neo-Nazis are taking up the standard of a Hispanic in view of the Black Panthers' bounty and the race-pimps' call to violence.
What a world!
Just what Al, Jessie, and Barrack wanted!
I could not have planned a better false flag if I tried. Come on they are National Socialists. These are Obama's brothers in arms.
We have a race war!
What a distraction for dullards.
I hate Florida Nazis.
Oh good God.
This stupid incident is long past having got on my last nerve.
Black Americans need to work within the system to create more police officers, judges, lawyers, etc. Especially police officers. Using violence, like the Black Panthers, will only bring back the ugliness of Neo Nazi groups from the fringe of society. Which is unfortunate since civil rights groups, along with their white allies, have worked so hard to put these groups on the fringes.
Their dogs look fat old and tired. (just sayin)
Precisely Ditto.
" Black Americans need to work within the system to create more police officers, judges, lawyers, etc. Especially police officers. "
Like they have in that peace loving place South Africa right?
Thats not what he said in the article. He said his group is there to protect whites if race riots start
"this has really gotten out of hand quite quickly."
All because some gay whackjobs at MSNBC thought doctoring the 911 tapes would help Obama out with his faltering Black base voters.
I hate this world.
This isn't South Africa. That's a different country. That's like saying all white people are the same. Are people in Bosnia the same as Finland?
Those 8 guys (?) in the photo are probably the entire group including the FBI infiltrators!
Don't hate the world. Hate the liberals that make it so lousy.
They're probably all employed by the SPLC.
Roger that.
You are correct.
Good grief! I thought the author was calling some group of wackos names -- until I read that they actually are "Nazis"...
IMHO, that is one group America can well get along without.
Riot-rousing by the race pimps is bad enough, but these guys are just crazy enough to actually light the fuze......
All the dam crazies are out during the full moon.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?
If they vanished tomorrow a new bunch of a-holes would take their place by the next day. People suck.
"Beam me up, Scotty; there's no intelligent life on this planet."
Gee whiz, you're starting to make me look like Susie Sunshine.
Every action creates an equal and opposite reaction.
You've got to be kidding me.
Who is going to show up next, a platoon of militant Whigs?
"Are people in Bosnia the same as Finland?"
Tell me of a place like Finland in Africa.
This is exactly what Obama and all other Marxists want.
You are correct. It needs to be read from time to time.
Thanks; made me laugh!
Wow, somebody else feels that way too, huh?
You mean like the ongoing white genocide in Mandela's Paradise?
You mean like the ongoing white genocide in Mandela's Paradise?
Why would black people attack whites wasnt Zimmerman a hispanic?
Look at Rhodesia is today. Whites farmers made in into the breadbasket of that part of Africa. The the ANC came in along with the UN and screwed the whites. Mugabe and his cavemen took over,killing or kicking out all the productive whites and the country now has to import food.
Tell me that cant happen here. Minorities have been handed stuff because they have been "Kept down by whitey". We all have seen whatn they do to urban areas that were once productive now look like war zones.
And the left now have to keep handing them more of our earned tax dollars to keep thier votes.
Follow the money. They ae probably funded by Soros.
I'm not a bigot.
I'm a misanthrope.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is exploring the possibility of running an open-innovation prize-based competition, or Prize Challenge, as part of its efforts to improve the management of wild horses and burros on public rangelands. The competition will aim to find innovative solutions to this important and complex issue. The BLM is currently in the design phase of the project; formulating the requirements, parameters, and scope of the potential challenge question(s).
Prize-based challenges have an established track record of spurring innovation in the private, public, and philanthropic sectors. With a focus on proven results, prizes empower untapped talent to deliver unexpected solutions to tough problems because prizes often attract solvers from a variety of adjacent disciplines, increasing the chance for new ideas to be found. By adapting the prize model to solve the challenges facing management of wild horses and burros, the BLM is searching for innovative, out-of-the-box ideas that can offer solutions which support healthy animals on healthy rangelands.
On May 29, 2014 the BLM hosted stakeholders and other experts at a workshop in Washington, D.C. Through a series of exercises and discussions over the course of the day, workshop participants explored the obstacles and pathways to innovation in the management of wild horses and burros. Below are materials related to this workshop. • Agenda• List of participants• Summary of Workshop

I decided that to get a true fans-eye view of the Angliru, the famously fearsome climb first used by the Vuelta in 1999 and growing in mythical status ever since, I should really walk up the mountain, 12.5kms of it, 23.5 per cent sectors and all.
Several things transpired to turn me against this carefully laid plan. It was raining. It was cold. An old woman collared me as I wandered the town of Riosa at the foot of the Angliru issuing dire warnings of atrocious weather conditions on the mountain and the inadequacy of my clothing.
She may have said something about wolves and killer sheep as well, but I was struggling to translate. Besides all that, there was a press bus leaving for the summit in half an hour. I'd have been a fool not to, surely?
The entrepreneurial townsfolk of Riosa were flogging rather sad-looking rain capes that may or may not have kept the water at bay for a few minutes. I decided against a panic buy and boarded the bus.
As it turned out, conditions at the top of the climb were less than apocalyptic, even if visibility was far from perfect. I wandered down the mountain from the anticlimactic finish area in search of the party.
Prime positions had already been taken, walls on the outside of hairpins providing a place to rest for the next five hours before Juan José Cobo would loom out of the mist and wrestle the red leader's jersey from Bradley Wiggins.
The 23.5 per cent section of Cueña les Cabres was, as expected, quite brutal. Streams of cyclists passed in various states of distress, notably those on road bikes with insufficiently low gearing.
The one guy I saw who seemed to have got his gearing spot on was, unbelievably, a unicylist (exhibitionist, mentalist, depending on your viewpoint). I did not take a picture of him. Such behaviour is not to be encouraged.
Eventually I descended below the cloud level to a broad meadow, home for the day to several thousand Spanish fans, blue and yellow flags of Asturias proudly displayed, beers in hand and a big screen to follow the Vuelta's progress for the next few hours. I settled in for the afternoon. This was shaping up to be a great day.
A more considered view of the Angliru, with proper photographs by Timm Kölln (as opposed to my iPhone snaps) appears in 1 issue 26.

Waking Sleeping Beauty
By the mid-1980s, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old timers not yet ready to relinquish control. The conditions produced a series of box office flops and pessimistic forecasts. Maybe the best days of animation were over. Maybe the public didn't care. Only a miracle or a magic spell could produce a happy ending. "Waking Sleeping Beauty" is no fairy tale. It's the true story of how Disney regained its magic with hits like "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "The Lion King" over a 10-year period.

Dany Heatley Traded to San Jose
Jason Gregor
September 12 2009 03:45PM
The Calgary Cryer has finally been granted his wish, as the Senators dealt one of the league's best goal scorers, Dany Heatley and a 5th round pick to the Sharks for Milan Michalek, Jonathon Cheechoo and a 2nd rounder.
Once again the team that deals away the best player loses the trade. Had the Oilers acquired Heatley back in July, they too would have won the trade, but at least Ottawa would have gotten more for him.
Would any of you have traded Cogliano, Smid and Penner for Michalek, Cheechoo and a 2nd? Unless you were smoking the hippie whiskey I doubt it.
This is a horrible trade for Ottawa and a great one for the Sharks.
The Sharks get a proven 45 goal man and they only gave up Michalek. At this point Cheechoo is a throw in. He has lost since being injured, and unless he had a miraculous off-season I can't see how his skating has improved that much.
Sure, Cheechoo scored 56 goals in 2006, but since then he has been on a downward spiral goal scoring wise. He scored 37 in 2007, 23 in 2008 and only 12 last year. He'll get ample playing time in Ottawa, but I don't see him being more than a 30 goal man with the Senators.
The Sharks meanwhile boast some of the best offensive talent in the game, but until they get some mental toughness they will continue to be a top-end team that can't win.
Look for training camp updates starting tomorrow. The first on-ice session begins at 8:15, and I will be there regardless of how hung over I am.
To play devil's advocate:
What if Heatley wanted 9 million a year from Ottawa. Which is not an overpayment for a 50+ goal guy. And Ottawa comes back at Heatley and says we can only give you 7.5 mill but we will throw in a NMC which will allow you to choose where you will get traded if you ever do agree to a trade.
Heatley ponders it over and says "OK i will take that deal because I feel that that security and control over where I will play is worth 1.5 mill a season to me."
Then he uses that control and is absolutely publicly hammered for it. Im not saying that NMC are good. I HATE them. But the guy didnt break any contract. In fact he just used the power given to him by the contract for which he was probably making less money than he would have had he went UFA rather than signing with ottawa.
Totally different than a player who signed a contract and then sits out and says "im not playing for this team until they give me more money, i dont care what i signed"....Yashin.

National Landscape Conservation System Releases 15-Year Management Strategy
WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) today released a 15-year strategy to guide National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) land management efforts in coming years.
"By continuing to collaborate and successfully develop new partnerships, the BLM can ensure that future generations of Americans have the chance to use and experience these incredible lands just as we do today," said BLM Director Bob Abbey.
The NLCS, which includes some of the most spectacular and special lands in America, is part of the more than 245 million acres administered by the BLM. Managed for multiple uses, America's resource-rich public lands provide the nation with vital commodities and host remarkable landscapes, ecosystems, and natural and cultural resources.
The new NLCS strategy supports the BLM's multiple-use mission by ensuring that NLCS management efforts will focus on conservation, while still allowing for other compatible uses, consistent with the designating legislation or presidential proclamation. In addition to conservation, the strategy emphasizes continued collaboration, public involvement, and youth engagement.
Created in June 2000 to conserve, protect, and restore the BLM's nationally significant resources for future generations, the NLCS now has nearly 900 units encompassing 27 million acres of conservation lands, trails, and waterways — each designated by congressional act or presidential proclamation.
The BLM recognizes that the special lands comprising the NLCS must be managed in the context of the surrounding landscape. To this end, the NLCS strategy is integrated and interdisciplinary. It incorporates ideas offered by the public and BLM employees, as well as state and local governments, partner groups, and other stakeholders.
The BLM plays an important role in protecting the special places where Americans hike and explore, hunt and fish, or simply get away from it all.
"We recognize that the best ideas for conservation come from folks on the ground, and the NLCS strategy provides Americans with enhanced opportunities to share in the stewardship of the lands they treasure," Abbey said.
Outdoor recreational opportunities are vital to the quality of life enjoyed by Americans, as well as international visitors. In 2010, BLM lands had 58 million visits and BLM management of public resources contributed more than $100 billion to the national economy and supported more than 500,000 American jobs.
To read the NLCS 15-Year Strategy visit http://on.doi.gov/pttikY .
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Around the league - Oct 22 2009
Jason Gregor
October 22 2009 08:29AM
This past week Nick Lidstrom became only the 8th defenseman to register 1,000 points. The 53rd pick in the 1989 draft is quietly putting himself in the conversation of greatest defenseman ever.
Lidstrom doesn't seem to get the fanfare he deserves. His game is so effective we sometimes overlook how good he has been. Only Bobby Orr (8) and Doug Harvey (7) have more Norris Trophies than Lidstrom's six, and Lidstrom might have seven if there wasn't the lockout.
Lidstrom never put up spectacular numbers, his best season was 80 points in 2006, but his offensive numbers are solid, but his defensive play is top-notch. Lidstrom might be the best European player to ever play, and when his career is over he will be considered a top-five defender and maybe the best ever.
With his 1,000 point he joined an elite crew of scoring defenders, Ray Bourque (1,579), Paul Coffey (1,531), Al MacInnis (1,274), Phil Housley (1,232), Larry Murphy (1,216), Denis Potvin (1,052) and Brian Leetch (1,028).
Back in 1989 not many thought he would turn out this good, in fact he wasn't even drafted as an 18-year-old in 1988, but instead he was taken as a 19-year-old. Here are the D-men who were taken before him in 1989.
- Adam Bennett, 6th overall to Chicago, 69 games and eleven points.
- Doug Zmolek, 7th overall to Minnesota, 467 games and 64 points.
- Jason Herter, 8th overall to Vancouver, 1 games and one point.
- Jason Marshall, 9th overall to St. Louis, 526 games and 67 points.
- Kevin Haller, 14th overall to Buffalo, 642 games and 138 points.
- Jason Soules, 15th overall to Edmonton, No games.
- Jamie Heward, 16th overall to Pittsburgh, 394 games 124 points.
- Steve Bancroft, 21st overall to Toronto, six games and one point.
- Adam Foote, 22nd overall to Quebec, 1040 games and 291 points.
- Dan Ratushny, 25th overall to Winnipeg, one game and one point.
- Mike Speer, 27th overall to Chicago, No games.
- Patrice Brisebois, 30th overall to Montreal, 1009 games and 420 points.
- Rick Corriveau, 31st overall to St. Louis, No games.
- Bob Boughner, 32nd overall to Detroit, 630 games and 72 points. (Even the Wings didn't think Lidstrom was the best D-man available.)
- Paul Laus, 37th overall to Pittsburgh, 530 games and 72 points.
- Brent Thompson, 39th overall to LA, 121 games and 11 points.
- Bob Kellogg, 48th overall to Chicago, No games.
- Veli-Pekka Kautonen, 50th overall to Calgary, No games.
The Blackhawks took three defensemen ahead of Lidstrom that year, talk about a bad year for the Hawks scouting staff.
Nikolai Khabulin is now tied with Olaf Kolzig 21st overall with most career wins, 303. Three more wins and Khabibulin will pass Billy Smith (305) and be in the top 20. If he wins 37 games this season he will pass Sean Burke (324), Harry Lumley (330) and Gump Worsley (335), putting Khabibulin 17th overall. If he finishes his contract with the Oilers, and wins an average of 20 games the next three years he could crack the top ten.
Some other milestones or career rankings that should fall this year:
- With two more goals Mike Modano will pass the Rocket, Maurice Richard with 545 career goals.
- With one more OT goal, Patrik Elias becomes the career leader with 16. He is currently tied with Jaromir Jagr, Mats Sundin and Sergei Fedorov with 15.
- Mark Recchi needs one more assist for 900 in his career. He will pass Bryan Trottier (901) at some point this season and move into 17th on the all-time assists list. And he needs three more GP, to become only the 13th player in NHL history to play 1,500 games.
- With his 21 PIMs so far this year, Donald Brashear is now 15th all-time in PIMs with 2,582. He needs 203 more to catch Scott Stevens for 14th.
- Paul Kariya needs 48 points for 1,000, while Alexia Kovalev needs 55.
Ice girl of the week
This week I give the slow clap to a group of Blackhawks Ice girls. I know this is back-to-back weeks with a Chicago girl, but the picture above showcases the benefits of Ice Girls.
Random thoughts
The NFL has Mr. Irrelevant, a moniker given to the last pick in the NFL draft, but the NHL has no such thing. Patric Hornqvist was the last pick, 230th in 2005, but is off to a great start for the Predators with two goals and six points in seven games. He is only the 9th player who was taken with final pick, since 1979, to have played in the NHL.
- 2002: Detroit took, Jonathon Ericsson 291st. Is hurt but should be a solid contributor.
- 1997: Boston chose Jay Henderson 246th. Played 33 games.
- 1994: NYR took Kim Johnsson 286th. Currently playing with the Wild, has played in 686 career games.
- 1993: Pittsburgh took Hans Jonsson 286th and he played 242 games for the Pens.
- 1988: Calgary chose Sergei Pryakhin 252nd. He played 46 games over three years.
- 1987: Oilers took Igor Vyazmikin 252nd. He played four games for the Oil in 1991.
- 1980: Philly took Andy Brickley 210th. He played 385 games and registered 222 points.
- 1979: Edmonton took Blair Barnes 126th. He played one game for the L.A Kings.
I love a good fight and a good hit, but why does it seem every time we witness a bone-crushing hit the guy who dished out the hit gets jumped. Last night, Willie Mitchell crushed Jonathon Toews with a clean open-ice hit. Kris Versteeg wrestled with Mitchell right after and both got minors. Mitchell shouldn't have to turtle, and he shouldn't have to sit for two minutes because Versteeg got in his face.
Now that the Islanders won in a shoot out last night, the Leafs are the only winless team left and I'm happy for Brian Burke. His pompous attitude, short hypocrite memory and overall smug attitude make me cheer against the Leafs. I'd love nothing more than to see the Leafs finish dead last, win the lottery and watch Burke squirm as the Boston Bruins select Taylor Hall first overall.
In the summer many said Ryan Smyth had no chance to make the Olympic team, in fact Ryan Rishaug and I debated in at length, and I said you can't rule him out. I never thought he'd produce like he is, but if he is in the top-twenty in scoring come December he will make the squad, because Steve Yzerman and crew know what to expect from Smyth. He is still the best in the league in front of the net, and never shies away from getting greasy.
Regular season NHL drafts that don't allow reserve players are stupid. One major injury and your draft is over. Now that Marc Savard is out for six weeks, I'm done. Losing a draft due to an injury is bogus.
Leader through the week
Here are the top ten in pts, goals, assists and other stats.
- Nine: Alex Ovechkin
- Seven: Ilya Kovalchuk, Patrick Marleau and Devon Setoguchi
- Six: Dany Heatley, Ryan Smyth, Alex Semin, Ryan Malone, Marian Gaborik and Mike Richards
- Twelve: Joe Thornton (leads for the second straight week).
- Nine: Nicklas Backstrom
- Eight: Vinny Prospal, Anze Kopitar, Marty St.Louis and Henrik Sedin.
- Seven: Ovechkin (no assists this week), Smyth, Rick Nash and Evgeni Malkin, Rene Bourque, Dan Boyle, Matt Carle, Erik Johnson and Jason Demers. Hands up anyone who has heard of Jason Demers before reading this? The rookie D-man for the Sharks has four assists in his last two games.
- Sixteen: Ovechkin
- Fourteen: Thornton
- Thirteen: Smyth and Kopitar.
- Twelve: ealtey, and Gaborik.
- Eleven: Nash, Bourque, Malkin, Prospal, St.Louis, H. Sedin and Backstrom.
- +11: Nicklas Grossman
- +9: Ladislav Smid, Brandon Dubinsky, Alex Goligoski, Stephane Robidas and Ovechkin.
- +8: Scott Hannan, Henrik Tallinder, Jan Hejda and Curtis Glencross.
- +7: Five players tied.
PP Goals:
- Four: Mike Richards, Devon Setoguchi and Ryan Smyth
- Three: Michael Del Zotto, Rich Peverley, Steven Stamkos, Andrew Brunette, Mikael Samuellson, Raffi Torres and Matt Stajan.
- 38: Ryan Callahan leads for second straight week.
- 34: Dustin Brown
- 32: J.F Jacques and Chris Neil
- 30: Matt Cooke and Troy Brouwer
- 29: Andrew Alberts, Cody Mcleod
- 28: Ovechkin
- 26: Five tied with 26
- 61: Ovechkin had 19 shots this week with four goals.
- 41: Samuelsson had 20 shots this week, but only one goal.
- 39: Gaborik
- 37: Alex Burrows
- 34: Malkin
- 33: Eric Staal, Michael Cammalleri, Zach Parise, Dustin Brown and Setoguchi.
Final point(s)
Sidney Crosby, Jonathon Toews, Zach Parise and Jamie Langenbrunner are two-for-two in shoot outs this year. They are the only players perfect with more than one opportunity.
Also, remember to sign-up for the three hockey drafts we're running over at NationDrafts.com. Great prizes, gloating, and it's all free!
@Jason Gregor
Sorry dude, but that was totally a defensive response. You trying to justify that picture, still, proves that.
Besides which, that comment about admiring the opposite sex is a load. Admiring attractive men is one thing but if I were to start blogging on here and posting pictures of scantily clad men on a good portion of my blog, you would honestly not be bothered at having to look at it all the time? Gimme a break.
October 22 2009, 03:31PM
As for the ice-girls above, what do you prefer, the sleek black pants over figure skates or the sleek black pants clumsily tucked into regular hockey skates like the girl on the right? I gotta go with the Tacks.
@Jason Gregor
You didn't answer my question, Gregor. Would looking at pictures of near naked dudes not bother you?
And yeah, actually I do have to look when it's the first thing one see on this site when they open the page. So, what... am I not suppose to read about the Oilers if I don't want to see that? Am I not suppose to watch hockey games now, either?
If I'm overdramatic then I'll ask you to take a gander at the responses when that picture of Moreau, Souray and Cogs was posted on this site.
Plus, this isn't about nudity and you know that. Being comfortable with nudity is an important part peoples sexuality and artistic culture. What you're defending, however, is objectification. There is no purpose to a female dressing like they do in the picture you posted other then to have guys drool over them.
Congrats to your mother, btw. I'm sure she's a very intelligent women who got where she is today by not exploiting herself.
PS. I never actually called you sexist, so stop accusing me of saying things I didn't.
"But if clarity is necessary, maybe Gregor should add a blib to his posts about how he's not actually sexist when he constantly posts pictures of scantily clad women." This is what you said about JG. I thought you called him a sexist. And hey, if you want to wear cloths that cover you up, thats ok. but to see woman in an ice girl costume is nice to look at. After all isn't that why woman wear make up and colour their hair and wear sexy clothing...so men will look at them? What's the difference. Lighten up a bit, you seem wound a bit tight today. It's all in jest....
@Jason Gregor
Funny, I was talking about the picture you posted on this site and not pictures from somewhere else.
1- There's no nudity here. Not even "near nudity" by today's standards.
2- How many pics of Ice Girls have we seen amongst all the image content on here. I'd be willing to bet you could count the entire lot on one hand.
3- Guys like women. Beautiful women even more. This is a hockey website predominantly (I'd bet 99%) visited by guys. I for one am OK with the occasional sight of beautiful girls on skates. I bet a poll would confirm that most other guys here are of the same thought.
4- Its a free society. If you don't like what's here, I'm sure there are other places you'll find that are less offensive to your very exclusive tastes.
5- We have a woman writer here. Her name is Amber and she does a great job. Haven't heard her whining about the odd Ice Girl pic. Yet.

@Jason Gregor
Keep up with the Ice Girls pics, I love them. Besides the fact that the girls perform (?) in front of 18,000 people live - a lot of them children and are thus deemed socially acceptable, it's playing the odds: I think the majority of ON readers are men, and most of those men like beautiful women.
And if the women didnt want to be objectified they wouldnt take a job wearing bikinis on ice. If I got free tickets to every game and you paid me, hell I'd wear that outfit.
October 22 2009, 06:07PM
I'm trying this new honesty thing, so I guess Ill admit Im already wearing it...
More more more ice girls! *Screams* MORE!!!
@Victoria: I wouldn't mind either. I enjoyed the pic of Souray/Cogliano/Moreau. It was funny.
I also nominate Victoria to be the first Oiler's ice girl if we ever get the goods.
I like the Blonde on the right.
Jason, I saw Tatum Stanowich (Tator Sandwich)the other day. Kinda funny. She hasn't changed a bit. I was leaving Rexall around 5:30ish on Monday. Had work to do there, in the BC Booth.

Green Bay - It might have taken Aaron Rodgers three long years to become the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback, but it took him about a week to realize this National Football League thing was going to be a little tougher than he thought.
Following a breakout season at the University of California, Rodgers came to the Packers after a very humbling freefall through the first round of the 2005 draft. He went from what he thought was a possibility of being picked No. 1 overall to being Ted Thompsons first pick as general manager 23 selections later.
On his very first day inside the Don Hutson Center, during a minicamp less than a week after the draft, Rodgers found himself running Mike Shermans offense with absolutely no clue. He was the quarterback, but veteran Craig Nall was standing behind him calling the play out to the rest of the huddle.
When I came in, it was kind of like, Its Bretts offense, whatever were going to do were going to do, and keep up, Rodgers said. Which was fine, it was a good challenge, but I couldnt keep up. I was struggling big time.
Thus, began the education of Aaron Rodgers.
He wouldnt know until this summer if it was going to be a one-year, three-year or five-year program, but from that point forward he was determined never again to feel like the dumbest kid in the class.
Three years later, as the Packers embark on their first season in the post-Favre era, Rodgers is ready. He has never started a regular-season game, but hes not Matt Ryan or Alex Smith or David Carr or any of those guys asked to be saviors right away.
Rodgers has had time lots of time to get ready. As the season begins, he may have exactly as many starts as Ryan, the Atlanta first-round draft choice, but he has valuable experience that will give him a better shot at handling arguably one of the hardest assignments in recent NFL history.
The way Aarons doing it, thats how you want it, said Jeff Jagodzinski, former Packers offensive coordinator and Ryans coach at Boston College. Sometimes it takes a guy longer to develop. Its a luxury if you can actually sit and learn.
Look how many young quarterbacks who played right away were ruined. Then look at Mark Brunell and Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks they all sat behind Brett and they learned how to play quarterback. If the past means anything, Aaron will do well.
The Packers have done everything they can to make the transition from Favre to Rodgers a smooth one. It got a little rough at the start of training camp when Favre decided he wanted to come out of retirement and get his job back, but Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy stood behind Rodgers, placing both of their futures on the line by sticking with the young guy.
Both men feel that the time is right for Rodgers to take over, not just because he fits the situation but because the situation fits him.
Im not talking bad about the 49ers, but our team was not ready for Alex, McCarthy said of his year tutoring Smith when McCarthy was San Franciscos offensive coordinator. We had 100 starts missed because of injury. We needed a quarterback to win a couple of games.
Here, we have a good defense, good special teams. Thats where I think were ready for this. Its been a process leading up to this, an education over the last three years. Hes matured. The only thing he needs is to be playing the game.
If Rodgers fails this season, it wont be because he is unprepared. Everything he has done the past three seasons has pointed toward this, and every hard lesson he has learned has shaped him into the quarterback and person he is now.
Dropped smack dab into the beating heart of the game, Rodgers made a decision early in his career to soak up everything he could from Favre. Extremely intelligent, sometimes cocky, but always aware of his surroundings, Rodgers figured things out quickly.
I think the first progression every quarterback makes is you come in being the guy, and if youre not the starter you realize that theres someone better in front of you, and thats a big step to take because when youre the guy youre confident, Rodgers said. Second, figure out the things he does that are better than you and study it and work on those things and improve.
When Rodgers arrived, Favre made no bones about refusing to be a mentor to him, stating in an interview that it wasnt his job. Nobody had done it for him, and besides, Favres No. 1 responsibility was to win games.
Rodgers had to accept that, but it didnt mean he wasnt going to watch Favre.
The best way to describe it was we were teammates the first year, Rodgers said. It was a very business relationship. But I was kind of in his hip pocket. My biggest thing was if were not going to be friends yet, which is fine, Im still going to be in his hip pocket until he tells me to get lost.
So Id stick my head in there when hes talking in the huddle and lean in and listen to what hes saying and listen to him in practice. Id watch him like a hawk. This guy is one of the greatest quarterbacks to every play, so I better figure out what hes doing.
What Rodgers noticed was the way Favre commanded the huddle. How he used his eyes to make it appear he was going to throw one way and then throw the other. How he never got fooled by what blitz the defense was about to run. How he anticipated exactly where a receiver was going to make his break and threw the ball before it even happened. How he never had a bad practice.
And then Rodgers would study it.
Anytime he opened his mouth in meetings to talk to a receiver I listened, Rodgers said. I wrote it down. I have journals from the first three years, note and notes. Notes from computers Ive printed out. I have them stashed in my filing cabinet.
During his first year, Rodgers struggled badly during the exhibition season and his only extended playing time came in a dreadful 48-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He replaced Favre in the fourth quarter and was sacked three times twice from behind that resulted in fumbles returned for touchdowns and threw an interception in the end zone.
It was another humbling experience, but one Rodgers took with him into the off-season.
The highlight was talking to Deion Sanders between the third and fourth quarters, Rodgers said. I realized at that point, I was kind of like a kid who was just out of place a little bit, on this field with these great stars and Im not performing. That was the most frustrating thing, and I knew that off-season I had to make some improvements to get to where I want to go.
After the 2005 season, Sherman was fired and McCarthy hired.
All of a sudden there were new demands on Rodgers. He was required to attend off-season quarterback school, six hours of it several days a week. Then McCarthy got on him about his weight. Rodgers weighed 228 at the time and measured about 15% body fat. McCarthy wanted the body fat down to 10% to 12%.
I fought it and I was like, Why? Rodgers said. But I think it definitely helped me out. Im 217 right now, the lightest Ive been before my sophomore year at Cal, and Im a lot stronger and more fit. But I fought the system. Change has always been tough. Any type of change in my life Ive always met with some resistance, so we butted heads the first year a little bit.
Favre didnt attend McCarthys quarterback school and didnt make his decision to return for another year until just before the draft. When he showed up, he didnt know any of the terminology of McCarthys system.
With Nall gone to Buffalo, Rodgers was the only familiar face in the quarterback room, and he was able to lean over and tell Favre which plays under the Sherman system corresponded to the ones McCarthy was teaching. It was at that point that Favre and Rodgers started to become close.
During the 06 season, Rodgers mostly ran the opponents offense on the scout team. But those repetitions proved valuable because McCarthy and quarterbacks coach Tom Clements structured it so plays that were similar to those in the Packers playbook were called with Packers terminology.
Thus, on many plays, Rodgers was simulating the Packers offense.
Rodgers only significant playing time came after Favre hurt his elbow against New England, and the results werent pretty. He completed 4 of 12 passes and was sacked three times. Not until after the game did Rodgers realize he had suffered a broken foot that ended his season.
Even though the injury stunted his progression on the field, he continued to make strides off it, showing less of the cockiness and salesmanship he brought with him from Cal. Through the urging of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, he became more conscious of his body language and stopped being so demonstrative when a teammate made a poor play.
You come into the league when youre 21, I would hope youd mature a lot between then and now, said former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer, a close friend of Rodgers. And thats kind of what Aaron did. Thats really the time when you understand the responsibility of manhood and having a bigger picture of life. All of that makes you more well-rounded and it helped him as a football player, too.
Rodgers education continued into 07. McCarthy urged Favre to spend more time mentoring Rodgers, and Favre responded.
My first year, he was kind of like, Yeah, he needs to grow up and this and that, McCarthy said. I told Brett, You need to give back now. Youre at the point now where youre older than most the quarterbacks coaches in the league. You can give back, not only to Aaron. Brett really embraced that. Thats one of the things you dont really hear about.
Besides continuing to study coverages and meeting with Favre on the sideline during games, in 07 Rodgers was given a scouting assignment. As soon as the game was over, he started working on the next opponent, providing a report on Wednesday morning to the coaches and other quarterbacks.
He would watch tape on Mondays and Tuesdays and write the report Tuesday night. It started out being a report on the cornerbacks Favre would be facing that week, but it advanced into in-depth reports on schemes, tendencies and other players.
Favre used to joke that Rodgers presentation was his least favorite part of the week, but Clements said the work was invaluable for Rodgers. Soon he was coming up with the same evaluations as the coaches.
It wound up being especially valuable when Rodgers got pressed into action against Dallas on Nov. 29. When Favre got knocked out of the game, Rodgers came in and completed 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown, nearly rallying the Packers to victory on the road.
The touchdown I threw was exactly what we saw on film, the exact defense we were expecting, Rodgers said. It was the exact play call we talked about during the week, the play I had seen on film on Tuesday. I said, I hope we get this look during the game. And sure of enough were on the 8-yard line and they give us that look and I hit Greg (Jennings) and he scores.
As the season begins, there should be many more opportunities like that one. Rodgers carries with him a Harvard degree in quarterbacking, the kind only a few have the luxury of obtaining. Rodgers wont outwardly resemble the quarterback Favre was, but there will be subtle similarities that coaches and teammates will recognize.
Rodgers, to be sure, is his own man, his own quarterback. But the lessons he learned along the way, those are what prepared him for this day.

How can there be an excellent way to compare a guy who is in the twilight of his career vs a guy who just started his second game?

Good article. I read it when it was published, which was a couple days before the first game of the season. The article paints a very good picture of Aaron Rodgers, but my favorite part is about Brett Favre and how he helped out Rodgers in '07:
My first year, he was kind of like, Yeah, he needs to grow up and this and that, McCarthy said. I told Brett, You need to give back now. Youre at the point now where youre older than most of the quarterbacks coaches in the league. You can give back, not only to Aaron. Brett really embraced that. Thats one of the things you dont really hear about.

I agree. Lots of very good things in there. I also think this is the first article I've read that ACCURATELY explains what happened with Rodgers broken foot against the Patriots.

Wouldn't you love to see Favre hang em up after this year and come back to be Rodger's QB coach?
once again, this just shows how media stories are not always accurate of what really happens. How many years did we hear that Favre did not help Rodgers. All because favre made one simple comment about it not being his "job" to mentor Rodgers.
Favre is a good guy. Rodgers is a good guy. Mike McCarthy is a good guy.....TT? well, he does a good job! LOL
(Actually, I think Ted Thompson is probably a really stand up guy.)

That was an excellent read.
I liked the part about how Rodgers helped Brett understand McCarthys syatem, followed by the part about Brett giving back to Aaron.
God, I love Packer football.

Namibia is bordered on the north by Angola and Zambia, on the east by Botswana, and on the east and south by South Africa. It is for the most part a portion of the high plateau of southern Africa, with a general elevation of from 3,000 to 4,000 ft.
The San peoples may have inhabited what is now Namibia more than 2,000 years ago. The Bantu-speaking Herero settled there in the 1600s. The Ovambo, the largest ethnic group today, migrated in the 1800s.
In the late 15th century, the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias became the first European to visit Namibia. Formerly called South-West Africa, the territory became a German colony in 1884. Between 1904 and 1908, German troops massacred tens of thousands of Herero, who had revolted against colonial rule. In 1915, during World War I, Namibian territory was taken over by South African forces. In 1921, it became a mandated territory of the League of Nations, under the administration of South Africa.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Where does Emery County go for help with the deteriorating SR-10, the life blood of the county. In talking with Huntington resident, Bevan Wilson, who is on the Utah Department of Transportation Commission, Emery County has not been forgotten. The Poison Springs Bench project to Huntington added four lanes and passing opportunities for travel between Huntington and Price. Also, the project near Hiawatha Junction added one lane for southbound traffic. The bridge at Wilberg Wash was replaced and the road widened in that area.
"The one big problem we have with SR-10 is that it is not a federally designated highway. So therefore it doesn't qualify for any federal funding. For UDOT there are approximately 20 different categories for funding. A lot of those categories are for specifically classified roads. SR-10 is not a federal road, it is a state road and only available for certain types of funding. We are restricted on the availability of funding for SR-10.
"Out of a $5 million allocation for SR-10 for projects from I-70 to Price there is a small amount of that pool of money left over from the Poison Springs Project. Part of the Hiawatha Project was also funded from this pool. This past year we were able to get funding for resurfacing from Emery to I-70 which has been a big improvement. Projects which are on the STIP (Statewide Transportation Improvement Program) list are eligible for funding from quite a few sources.
"The road from Ferron to Emery is in terrible condition. The road from Rock Canyon to Castle Dale is in terrible condition. The road from the Hiawatha Junction to Horseshoe Dugway is breaking up. Ridge Road to State Farm Road is cracking. I have brought state officials to the county and they have traveled SR-10. They are mindful of the condition it is in. When Trail Mountain Mine closed the number of coal trucks on SR-10 increased dramatically.
"UDOT was not given any prior notice to the closing of Trail Mountain so it could plan accordingly for transportation needs for SR-10. If we could have had some notice we would have been better prepared to handle traffic, but we were hit cold. I would like to see the energy industry communicate better with UDOT on changes. Things are improving with the Hunter Plant interchange project and we are in close communication with PacifiCorp on the specifics of this project.
"In the STIP process a road project is identified and it takes five years to move through the process to a funding year. We are trying very hard with SR-10, a corridor study has been completed. It is very difficult to find funding to deal with the impacts of the increased traffic.
"The Muddy Creek bridge replacement project is at the bid opening stage. We had to get added money for this project. All of UDOTs projects have been way over engineer's projections due to higher transportation costs and other increases in construction materials. Construction should start next month on the bridge.
"We tried to convince the legislature to leave some highway funding available for discretionary projects as the need arises. We are hoping to get some money for SR-10 and we will be briefed in our April meeting as to the outcome of this request.
"A lot of the transportation funding had to go back into the program for indebtness, it is not just new money for new projects. Some of the money appropriated by the legislature is paying for projects which have already been completed; these projects must be paid for.
"It's difficult for people to understand the impacts of the power generation industry in our county. The coal travels both ways, both into and out of our county. The Hunter Plant has a blending facility and coal is trucked in and blended with other coal to make an acceptable blend to be burned in the plant.
"These added impacts plus a wet winter and moisture leads to the breakup of our roads," said Wilson.
Monies collected from the fuel tax goes back into state roads, county roads and city roads. These taxes do come back to help with maintenance on roads.
"We presented our spiel to Gov. Leavitt for $100 million to upgrade and bring SR-10 to a coal haul standard. There are people working and pursuing the reclassification of SR-10 to a federal classification so more funding possibilities are opened up. Mike Miles from UDOT is in the process of reviewing the regulations and requirements for the different road classifications. Miles is the manager for most of the projects on SR-10 and SR-6.
"Just having an impact such as the coal truck traffic doesn't always make for a special classification as far as a federal highway is concerned. There is a transportation bill before the United States Senate right now that Rep. Jim Matheson has worked on. This funding is for $4.5 million for the South Moore cutoff road. He is also trying to get US-6 designated as a high priority corridor which will qualify it for special funding dollars. This funding source is new money. Last year, $3 million was appropriated for bridge replacement at the East Carbon junction with SR-6. We hope that funding stays intact for this year. When the legislation left the House of Representatives the funding was still intact for the South Moore road and the SR-6 designation. We'll have to wait and see what comes out of the Senate. We've contacted Senator's Hatch and Bennett and done some lobbying. It appears they don't do a lot of whittling on bills in the Senate. So we're hoping for the best," said Wilson.
Projects on the statewide STIP list receiving funding in 2005 include $2,157,000 for Phase 2 of the South Moore Cutoff road. In centennial project funds for 2005, $941,000 is available for widening and the addition of passing lanes from I-70 to Price along SR-10.

Kids always seem to be on the cutting edge of technology. The Douglas County School District is making sure its teachers aren't left behind.
The number of technological advancements in the classroom over the last decade is astounding. The advent of interactive class lessons and online homework assignments has teachers receiving continuing education on the latest gadgets and apps being incorporated into the classroom.
An annual "Geek Camp" run by the Douglas County School District equips teachers with the tools and know-how needed to guide the next generation into the future. Brandon Petersen, a technology teacher at Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, says in many cases, it's best for teachers to "let the kids take control of their own learning," which he admits is a "huge flip" in conventional thinking.
During times when teachers are fumbling with a new device, "the kids say, 'hand it over,'" he says.
Petersen is among those who collaborate with instructors in the classroom. He has become "Mr. Technology," trouble-shooting when needed at Sand Creek. But the idea behind Geek Camp is to help teachers become self-sufficient when new technologies are introduced.
This summer's Geek Camp, a series of lessons July 8-12 at Challenge to Excellence Charter School in Parker, enabled teachers to explore a "digital playground," a room brimming with devices of all makes and models. They also followed guided practices and "campfire" sessions, small group discussions that allow teachers to share what they already know with each other.
"They're in here using learning-environment language," said Kim McMonagle, the school district's director of educational technology.
The teachers are encouraged to share what they have learned on the "mountaintop," or private forums specifically designed for them to teach others, creating an exponential learning experience for those involved, she said.
McMonagle keeps up on the constantly changing world of classroom technologies through conferences and monthly group gatherings with education professionals from throughout Colorado.
Petersen says when he started with the DCSD less than 10 years ago, teachers and students followed an unofficial "bring your own device" rule, or BYOD. These days, there is a push for "one-to-one," or one electronic device per student.
Sue McTigue, a music teacher at Soaring Hawk Elementary School, led a Geek Camp lesson on how to use technology in a musical setting. She plans to use Edmodo, Smart Boards and White Boards for in-class and at-home learning. For example, students can watch tutorials on how to play a specific song and then use Garage Band software to submit recordings directly to her.
Geek Camp helps teachers earn professional growth incentives and meet re-licensure requirements.
