International Colloquy about the Holocaust and the Arts, which took place at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, October 2002. The Images in the gallery were works that Bak used in his presentation.
Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Samuel Bak, I am a painter. "Speaking About the Unspeakable" is the title of a documentary film on my art that was recently produced in the US. I have rightly given today's talk the same name. It will concern a number of paintings that I have selected from a large body of my work. All are a response to the miracle of my survival. More precisely, these paintings are a visual statement born of an ever-growing need to deal with my experience of having come through the horrors of the Holocaust, and of having done it by age eleven. The images that you will see have matured over a long span of time. Was this indelible experience the sole inspiration for these canvases? I can't say. The creative process is a matter of such complexity that conscious intentions often eclipse subconscious needs. This question must remain open.
I was born in Vilna in 1933, in a city that then belonged to Poland. It is now Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. A place so famous for its institutions of learning that it was called the Jerusalem of Lithuania. The members of my family were mostly secular, but were proud of their Jewish identity. The year 1939 shattered what had been for me a child's happy paradise. Irrevocably, I was marked by traumatizing experiences -- brutal changes of regime, Nazi occupation, ghetto, murderous "aktionen," labor camps, moments of great despair, escapes, and periods of hiding in unthinkable places. I lost many of my beloved ones, but my mother and I pulled through. She provided me with a shield of so much love and care that it must have saved my psyche. When in 1944 the Soviets liberated us, we were two among two hundred of Vilna's survivors -- from a community that had counted 70 or 80 thousand. This was not the end of our personal struggle, for there followed a dangerous escape from the Soviets and a long period of waiting in the DP camps in Germany. I was fifteen when we arrived to the newly established state of Israel in 1948, which was then battling for its independence. On and off, I spent there some fifteen years of my life.
The Family (1974 oil on canvas) is a painting that I have dedicated to the memory of the perished members of my family. An explanation of this work would be beyond the limit of my present time, so let me go on with the outline of my biography.
During most of my last four decades, I have been indeed a wandering Jew. I have lived and worked in Tel Aviv, Paris, Rome, and Lausanne, and I presently reside in the US, in Boston. I have become a man who is at home everywhere and nowhere, an artist whose real roots are in the ground of his art. As I said earlier, and it may sound trite, I know that what I have been painting comes from a compulsive need to give meaning to the miraculous fact of my survival. It tries to appease a sad sense of bewilderment. It comes from the fear that in a world of unparalleled upheavals, things are never what they seem. My work reveals a reality observed through the eyes of a child who had suddenly aged. Some might call it elaboration of Trauma; I hope that my art is more than that.
To conclude, it is not "Bak" who chose the Holocaust -- it is rather the Holocaust that was put on "Bak's" shoulders a very distinct,almost inescapable need to give testimony.
I feel that we live in a world polluted by triviality. The Holocaust is a portentous subject. Artists who have chosen to deal with matters of importance, who are questioning the existential dimensions of life, death, good and evil, turn to the experience of the Shoah and believe that their images will stir emotions and stimulate reflection. Visual statements can be stronger than words. But the rhetoric of painting has its limitations. Visual Arts are mostly physical, they require places and spaces, and they can bear only so much moral weight. Besides, certain experiences demand verbal expression.
For that reason I decided to complement my painterly output with a verbal one. The result is a memoir entitled "Painted in Words." Enthusiastically prefaced by Amos Oz it was published in 2001 by Indiana University Press. My book is now part of a tuition program that trains American teachers to bring to their students the lesson of the Holocaust. Its vast array of implications is analyzed via a careful examination of literature, films, and the visual arts. As you can see, the aim of my writing, the desire to bring a decimated world back to life, at times with pain, sometimes with irony, and unmistakably with humor, was very close to what I try to achieve through my paintings.
So let me return to the paintings on the screen.
The recently published monograph on my art, which covers over fifty years of painting, has this image (Close Up, 2003 oil on canvas )on its jacket. If I had to define my art's language or style, I would situate it in a realm of allegory and metaphor. I tackle a vast array of subjects.
Devastated landscapes of ancient cities and urban constructions seem to have been made of a child's building blocks.
Figures are half-alive and half-contrived of bizarre prostheses. Abused angels stand helpless.
Chess pieces are involved in games without rules.
A revolution has wiped out kings, knights and bishops. It has installed an equality of imperfections.
Huge fruit, mostly pears in various stages of reinvention, pears made of stone, pears in the form of hovering planets, pears giving birth to other pears represent a shattered and bewildering world, a universe that offers no explanations. At times one can see in many of these paintings the traces of a human effort to repair.
But have these efforts managed to transform the world's wreckage into a viable reality? Colors, mostly serene and bright, might hint at an element of hope. I hope they do. Finally, I should mention that my style is often said to border on the surreal. I have no problem with that, though you will surely recognize how deeply my vision is rooted in the facts of modern history.
I wish now to focus on works that concern the Jewish experience of the 20th century.
The Ghetto of Jewish History, 1976 oil on canvas.
The ghetto. Here is an inclined surface with no horizon and no possibility of escape. Indeed, when we were thrown into the ghetto like human garbage, it felt like being in a deep hole. This hole is in the shape of the Star of David, the emblem of the ghetto. Near it lies our badge of identification.
The texture of the painting tries to evoke the stony indifference of the outer world. After the liberation, when I revisited the ghetto, it stood in ruins similar to the ones in the painting.
Here the title is Alone. It is another structure in the form of a Jewish star, an island surrounded by a menacing sea. The painting's sky sheds an ominous light.
I have returned to the Star of David over and over again, attracted by the simplicity of its shape and by the clarity of its meaning – an icon of humiliation that has acquired the status of proud identity. At times I depicted it as if it were made of metal, wood, fabric or stone. Here are some examples.

Stauffer Steps In
Robin Brownlee
August 15 2008 02:05PM
It'll be the Rod and Bob Show for Edmonton Oilers broadcasts on 630 CHED next season. In one of the more major moves on the Edmonton broadcasting scene in recent years, the Oilers have hired Bob Stauffer, the host of Total Sports on TEAM 1260, to do colour on their radio broadcasts alongside HHOF play-by-play man Rod Phillips with rightsholder 630 CHED. Stauffer, who's consistently hauled down the biggest numbers for TEAM 1260 with his afternoon drive show since hitting the airwaves more than five years ago, takes over from long-time Phillips sidekick Morley Scott. Long one of the Oilers most vocal—and informed—critics, Stauffer has agreed to a multi-year contract with the Oilers and will make the move from TEAM 1260 to 630 CHED at the end of August. An announcement will be made today.
- Read about Morley Scott's departure from CHED.
—Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5pm on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
So Robin, if you start suggesting that the Oilers make player moves, will they listen to you there too?
Makes your previous column look a little prescient.
August 15 2008, 02:23PM
Bob's professionalism and reputation are revered, as proven by the HF Boards thread about his new digs: http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=544131
People are congratulating him, but selfishly wishing he'd still do Total Sports!
Nice move!
What, Bob couldn't talk Katz into letting him be GM and President?
I hope this doesn't mean that the last two weeks of him hosting the show will be all roses and sunshine when it comes to the Oilers. I would love to see Stauffer piss off his new bosses.
Now that the speculation is done, I would have to say congrats to Bob but if he was going to move, it's too bad he wasn't doing the Sportsnet colour instead. I wonder what the chances are that Bob could talk Katz into buying Sportsnet so he could get that gig?
Robin; any inside poop on who is taking over Bob's show?
A helluva career move, now what does the "team" fill his spot with? Gregor?
Stauffer will be missed at the "team". Although sooner or later the mighty oil will be back on CFRN as will Stauffer.
Well, it will certainly be getting a little tighter in the broadcast booth.
I too will miss Stauffer's show. It was great listening to him rail about Mac T's coaching for the last few years. I rarely listen to Ched except the aftergame show if I get to a game at Rexall but might tune in this winter to see how they get along. I see Phillips as a cheerleader and Stauffer as a bit critical. So it should be interesting times in the press box.
I am going to miss listening to Stauffer - he is the best talk show host on team 1260 for sure..

Representative John Conyers, Jr., a Detroit Democrat, was re-elected to represent the 14th Congressional District in November of 2010, to his 24th term in the U.S. House of Representatives. The district covers all of Highland Park and Hamtramck, as well as large portions of Detroit, Dearborn and the Downriver communities of Melvindale, Allen Park, Southgate, Riverview, Trenton, Gibraltar and Grosse Ile.
Having entered the House of Representatives in 1965, Mr. Conyers is the second most senior member in the House of Representatives. He served as Chairman of the House Committee on Government Operations (now renamed Committee on Oversight and Government Reform) from 1989 until 1994. In 2006, Congressman Conyers was elected by his congressional colleagues to lead, as Chairman, the pivotal House Committee on the Judiciary in the 110th and 111th Congress. In addition to its oversight of the Department of Justice (including the FBI) and the Federal Courts, the Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over copyright, civil rights, consumer protection, and constitutional issues. Congressman Conyers was also a member of the Judiciary Committee in its 1974 hearings on the Watergate impeachment scandal and played a prominent role in the recent impeachment process, giving him the distinction as the only Judiciary Committee Member to have served on both panels.
Congressman Conyers is also one of the 13 founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and is considered the Dean of that group. Formed in 1969, the CBC was founded to strengthen African-American law makers' ability to address the legislative concerns of Black and minority citizens.
In Mr. Conyers' 40 plus years in Congress, some of his major accomplishments include: the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, the Motor Voter Bill of 1993, the Martin Luther King Holiday Act of 1983, the Alcohol Warning Label Act of 1988, and the Jazz Preservation Act of 1987. He was also the driving force behind the Help America Vote Act of 2002.
In recent years, Mr. Conyers has focused his efforts on promoting economic development in Southeast Michigan, fighting for equal justice and the protection of the civil rights for all Americans, and promoting peace around the world.
Working for the People of Detroit and Downriver Communities
Congressman Conyers is dedicated to improving the lives of the people of the 14th Congressional District. During the 111th Congress, he worked tirelessly to secure funding for deserving groups and organizations. In yet another example of his dedication to the city of Detroit, he secured $2.75 million in funding for various infrastructure improvements, including $750,000 for the restoration of the Detroit Institute of Arts, and an additional $500,000 for airport improvements. Reforming the justice system remains at the forefront of his mind, as evident in his ability to secure more than $3 million in funding for justice-related projects. This includes $1 million for a police department Firearm Reduction Initiative, $400,000 for the Wayne County Juvenile Mentoring Program, and $550,000 for the City of Detroit Parolees, Technical Parole Violators, and Former Prisoners Project, which aims at providing former prisoners with job training and employment opportunities.
Creating and Protecting Good Jobs in Southeast Michigan
Congressman Conyers worked closely with the other Members of Michigan's Congressional Delegation to ensure that the millions of jobs provided by Michigan's auto industry survived the 2008 financial crisis.
Congressman Conyers has also introduced several pieces of legislation aimed providing the currently unemployed with training programs and good jobs. His bill, H.R. 870, the "Humphrey-Hawkins 21st Century Full Employment and Training Act," would create a new tax on Wall Street speculators that would pour billions of dollars a year into Workforce Investment Act (WIA) training programs and innovative public and private sector jobs programs across the country. In the 111th Congress, Mr. Conyers also authored H.R. 4179, the "SHARE Credit Act," which would establish a business tax credit, which would help prevent layoffs.
Fighting for Michigan's Homeowners
In the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers authored H.R. 1106, the "Helping Families Save Their Homes Act." This law would allow bankruptcy court judges to reduce the principal and interest rates for homeowners facing foreclosure and help them remain in their homes. H.R. 1106 successfully passed the House of Representatives on March 5, 2009, before being filibustered by Senate Republicans.
Protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
In the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers led an effort in which 133 Members of Congress ultimately pledged to oppose any legislative effort to cut Social Security benefits or raise the retirement age. In the 112th Congress, he has authored H. Con. Res. 72, which states that it is the sense of Congress that no deficit reduction plan should cut Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits.
Providing Leadership on Judiciary Issues
Representative Conyers has introduced and endorsed legislation to advance civil liberties, ensure equal protection and access to the voting booth, and combat violence against women. Since September 11th, he has worked to strike a balance between keeping our country safe from terrorism and protecting the civil liberties of our citizens. Conyers has supported the Administration, proper law enforcement, and intelligence authorities' efforts to prevent terrorism. At the same time, he has worked to make sure that civil liberties and civil rights are preserved in the process.
In response to problems experienced by voters during the 2000 Presidential Election, Representative Conyers co-authored comprehensive election reform legislation to end discriminatory election practices, which was enacted in October of 2002. This bill advances civil rights and protects voting rights, among other provisions, by establishing federal minimum voting rights standards for election machines and requiring voting sites to be made accessible to those with disabilities.
As an outspoken critic of violence against women, Congressman Conyers was also a lead sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which was enacted in 1994 and re-authorized in 2001. It provides funding for federal, state, and local programs to combat domestic violence and sexual assault. In addition, Mr. Conyers is the principal author of the "End Racial Profiling Act," legislation that would ensure that the rights of all Americans are protected by banning racial profiling nationwide and by requiring all federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to take administrative steps to eliminate the practice. He also introduced the "Hate Crimes Prevention Act," legislation that would place a wide range of hate crimes under federal jurisdiction and allow for enhanced support by the Federal government of local investigation and prosecution.
Fighting for Michigan's Working Families
Representative Conyers has spent his entire career fighting for Michigan's working families. As a supporter of the UAW, Congressman Conyers is well aware of the struggles that affect working families. With families facing skyrocketing health care costs, rising unemployment, and an outdated minimum wage, Conyers continues to fight for equal pay for women and minorities, a raise in the minimum wage, and the full employment of all Americans.
In the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers authored H.R. 6436, the "State Public Funds Protection Act," which would keep taxpayer dollars out of corporate anti-union campaigns.
Working for Quality, Affordable Health Care
For more than three decades, Congressman Conyers has led efforts in Congress to reform the health care system. He is the founder of the 45 member Congressional Universal Health Care Task Force. The caucus introduced H. Con. Res 99, which was supported by over 450 grassroots organizations across the country and dozens of Members of Congress. He recently reintroduced H.R. 676, the "The Expanded and Improved Medicare For All Act," a single-payer health insurance bill which has the endorsement of over 4,000 physicians nationally. This legislation would guarantee every American access to affordable, comprehensive, quality health care.
Congressman Conyers has authored the Resident Physician Safety Protection Act in order to reduce the hours that resident physicians work so they can perform their work safely. Congressman Conyers' advocacy directly led to a decision by the American Medical Association and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to adopt major provisions of the bill.
In the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers introduced H.R. 2381, the "Nurse and Healthcare Worker Protection Act." This legislation would require the Secretary of Labor to promulgate a rule creating a standard for safe patient handling and injury prevention to prevent musculoskeletal disorders for health care workers handling patients in health care facilities. Under this standard, health facilities would have to purchase an adequate number of mechanical lifting devices for their employees to transport and lift patients.
In the 112th Congress, Congressman Conyers has introduced H.R. 894, the "Maternal Mortality Accountability Act." This legislation would create a national reporting standard and provide resources to the states to encourage the accurate tracking of maternal deaths. H.R. 894 has been endorsed by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), Amnesty International, and the American Medical Student Association (AMSA).
Holding Wall Street Accountable
During the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers was selected by his colleagues to sit on the conference committee of the landmark Dodd-Frank "Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2011." During the negotiations, Congressman Conyers fought to ensure that the bill protected consumers, while maintaining the antitrust powers of the Department of Justice.
Congressman Conyers has also fought to reinstate the so-called "Glass-Steagall" banking law, which required that traditional banks and investment houses remain separate.
International Engagement
Fighting for Peace
In the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers authored a key provision in the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act, which required the Secretaries of Defense and State to explore ways the United States could prevent accidental war with Iran.
In the 112th Congress, Mr. Conyers has worked on a bipartisan basis to successfully amend both the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act and the 2012 Defense Appropriations Act to block funding for the deployment of U.S. ground troops and mercenaries in Libya.
Afghanistan and Iraq
Representative Conyers is the founder of the bipartisan "Out of Afghanistan Caucus" and a cofounder of the "Out of Iraq Caucus." The Out of Afghanistan Caucus serves as an informal bipartisan group of Congressional Members dedicated to reorienting the US commitment to the Afghan government and its people.
In the 111th Congress, Congressman Conyers worked with Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) to propose legislation that would ensure that the United States' response to the tragic earthquake in Haiti was comprehensive, coordinated, and efficient. The "Haiti Empowerment, Assistance, and Rebuilding Act of 2010" would establish benchmarks for success and a clear reporting and accountability system for transparency so that Americans know where U.S. foreign aid spending in Haiti is going and whether or not it is achieving its desired impact.
Personal and Professional
Born in 1929, Rep. Conyers was raised in Detroit and educated in the city's public school system. After serving in the National Guard and the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the Korean War, he returned to Michigan where he earned both his Bachelor of Arts (1957) and Juris Doctor (1958) degrees at Wayne State University.
He is the recipient of many awards for leadership, including the Southern Christian Leadership Conference Award, which was presented to him by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He has also been awarded a number of honorary degrees from colleges and universities throughout the nation. He is married to the former Monica Esters. Mr. and Mrs. Conyers have two sons, John III and Carl Edward.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Emery High Spartans traveled to Cedar City to play the Canyon View Falcons in high school football and lost the game 21-6. That is the short story and the short caption printed in the major papers. But there is more to the story.
This young Spartan team came out to play. The players tackled better, they listened better and they responded better. While it is true that they did not win, they played it more like winners. With a break here or there, or better officiating, Emery would have been playing for a win.
The last three minutes of the first half is a prime example of strangeness. Canyon View attempted a field goal and it was short. Emery picked up the ball and returned it up field just over 30 yards. The score at this time was still 0-0. A penalty was called on the Spartans at the end of the run.
This is where strange began. The penalty was not assessed at the end of the run; it was assessed where the ball was picked up. Emery was now back at the two-yard line.
No decent explanation by officials. Canyon View scored on the next series with a short field following an Emery punt.
The next time the Falcons had the ball came strange call number two. On a Falcon run to the right, a flag was thrown in the area of offensive holding. Somewhere in the middle of the run, Dave Justice of Emery ended up with the ball and started running toward Emery's end zone.
The officials had no idea where the ball was. A whistle blew and a penalty was now called on Emery nullifying a Spartan touchdown. Again, no official explanation. After both bad calls the only thing said to the Emery coaches was "do you want to leave the game?"
Emery did score on their third series of the second half. Dave Justice took the ball in from about six inches out for the touchdown but the big plays were two Emery passes. Dempsey Jeffs, Emery's quarterback, hit wide receiver Jordan Gee twice in the series for big yardage. The first went for 45 yards; Emery's biggest play of the season. The second went for 13 yards and should have been for a touchdown but the official called him out of bounds at the six-inch line. The score was now 14-6.
Canyon View scored once more late in the game and Emery had another opportunity but the pass intended for a wide open Emery receiver was thrown a little hard and Kade Jones never had a chance to catch it. He probably could have walked into the end zone with a catch.
The Emery coaching staff is making progress. The players are getting better. The JV team this week defeated Canyon View 32-0 and the sophomores won 28-8. Coach Jones saw his team "play hard and never quit."
Emery caused and recovered two fumbles and came away with an interception. The first fumble was recovered by Cameron Hansen and the second by Justice. Justice also had the other recovery that was nullified by the officials. The interception was by Ryne Jones.
Wade Bohn and Blake Mortensen, both inside linebackers and Justice, free safety, led the Emery defensive effort. Ryne Jones also approached double-digit tackles for the game from his outside linebacker position.
Emery travels to Ben Lomond High in Ogden this week before coming home for the first time next week.
They will host Monticello in their homecoming game.

Watch Two Retired Football Pros Get Into a Cane-Swinging Brawl
What should have been just another sleepy Canadian Football League alumni luncheon in Vancouver on Friday turned unexpectedly violent, when Joe Kapp, 73, former quarterback for the B.C. Lions, got into a fight with his longtime rival, 74-year-old Angelo Mosca, former defensive tackle for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The brawl began with Kapp holding out a peace offering of a single flower, to which Mosca replied, "Stick it up your ass," eliciting a big chuckle from the audience. Then Kapp took things a little further by pressing the flower in Mosca's face. Mosca swatted it away with his microphone, then Kapp hit back with the flower. Mosca retaliated with a wide swing of his cane, grazing Kapp. Kapp then proceeding to whale on Mosca with his fists, delivering one serious right to Mosca's jaw and sending Mosca tumbling through a banner and off the stage, to the gasps of the crowd. Then, finally, people stopped being entertained long enough to get out of their seats and break up the two curmudgeonly nemeses.
The bad blood between the two men apparently stems back to the 1963 Grey Cup — Canadian sports fans love their cups as much as they love their player-on-player violence — when Mosca used a controversial maneuver to knock Lions running back Willie Fleming out of the game.
Clearly, there's only one, reasonable way to put this 50-year-old rivalry to bed: Arm both men with crossbows and let them loose in the woods, and air the entire battle on pay-per-view. Let The Geezer Games commence! [sfgate]

Free Agent Centres: Western Conference
Jonathan Willis
June 17 2013 10:50AM
With the likely departures of Shawn Horcoff, Eric Belanger and Jerred Smithson this summer, the Edmonton Oilers are in a position where they need to rebuild their depth chart at centre. Aside from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (who underwent surgery this summer) and Sam Gagner (an unsigned restricted free agent), the Oilers simply don't have reliable NHL options.
Could some of the answers be found in this summer's class of unrestricted free agents?
We'll look at the Eastern Conference options later on; for now let's look at the West.
The Western Conference Class
This isn't a strong group, and it gets weaker once seen through the prism of the Oilers' needs. The names that stand out to me are as follow (in alphabetical order).
Steve Begin. The 35-year old enjoyed a surprisingly effective campaign in Calgary after getting released by Vancouver last year and spending the season before that in the minors. He's a smallish (6', 192 pounds) agitator who hits, fights and kills penalties; there is no questioning his effort but there are better players on this list.
Kyle Chipchura. Chipchura really found a home in Phoenix the last couple of seasons after bouncing around the league over the last few years, but despite improved offensive totals he's in the same range as most of the fourth-line guys on this list; he has yet to crack the 20-point mark in the majors and was never particularly prolific in the minors either. He has decent size (6'2", 203 pounds) and fights more than most of the guys on this list but he's not a regular penalty-killer and his on-ice totals aren't particularly good.
Matt Cullen. He's definitely a little on the old side (he turns 37 in November) but he's coming off a very strong season and has been a reliable secondary offensive option for his entire career. Like Filppula, he plays centre and wing, both special teams and wins faceoffs (54.7 percent last year); at 6'1", 200 pounds he's also slightly bigger.
Valtteri Filppula. The Finn with the impossible to spell name is coming off a disappointing 2013 campaign, one where he picked up just 17 points over 41 games. On the plus side, he has a history of offensive production (generally in the 35-40 point range, though he recorded 66 in 2011-12), he can play both centre and left wing, he's a strong faceoff man (winning 55.4 percent of his draws last year) and he just turned 29 in March so he's in the prime of his career. He's played on both special teams in Detroit, though primarily on the power play. As far as negatives go, there aren't many; the most glaring one is that he hopes to cash in this year (reportedly seeking more than $5 million per season). He's also a little on the small side (listed at 6', 195 pounds).
Boyd Gordon. Bruce McCurdy wrote a nicely detailed piece on Gordon as an Oilers option a few days back; he's a defensive specialist and a very good one. Like both Cullen and Filppula he's a mid-size forward (6', 200 pounds) and not overly physical; unlike those two he is a dedicated checking centre who has never topped 30 points in an NHL season. Ownership uncertainty in Phoenix means he may very well find himself looking for a new home this summer, but he's a guy who likely tops out as a third-line centre.
Maxim Lapierre. Every time I say his name I feel the urge to duck; the Canucks agitator is roundly disliked in Edmonton but that doesn't mean he would be a bad fit for the team. Like Gordon, he's a defensive specialist who wins faceoffs, kills penalties and sits in the prime of his career; unlike Gordon he is significantly bigger (6'2", 207 pounds) and extremely physical. Vancouver has been slow to talk to him, so he's likely heading elsewhere this summer. His offensive numbers also have some possibility of improvement – like Gordon, he's never cracked the 30 point barrier but he has been a ~20 point scorer in situations where he started almost exclusively in his own end. In a more balanced role, he might deliver more.
Manny Malhotra. One of the best third-line centres in the league between 2005 and 2011, Malhotra's career is in some jeopardy after suffering a major eye injury near the end of the 2010-11 season. No player in the Behind the Net era has played more defensive minutes; given how close Malhotra came to zero offensive zone usage under Alain Vigneault it's possible no player in NHL history has started a higher portion of his shifts in the defensive zone. The question is whether the 6'2", 220 pound centre – who still kills penalties and excels in faceoffs – has lost his game to that eye injury, or whether he'd rebound if given less Sisyphean minutes.
Brad Richardson. Richardson has a Stanley Cup ring, but far more importantly once upon a time he fought Teemu Selanne:
He's been an effective utility guy with the Kings, but unlike many of the other options here he isn't a penalty killer and despite playing a chippy game he isn't all that big. On the other hand, he's had some pretty good offensive seasons for a fourth-liner – he was a point-per-game guy in the minors and despite poor totals the last few seasons has occasionally challenged the 30 point mark in limited minutes.
Jerred Smithson. Oilers fans have had an opportunity to see Smithson firsthand, and he isn't especially exciting. What he might be is useful as the team's fifth centre – the guy who sits in the press-box much of the time and fills in as needed. He kills penalties, wins faceoffs, makes safe simple plays and adds a bit of size (6'3", 209 pounds) and a willingness to hit. If he comes cheaply enough, the Oilers could do worse in a reserve role.
David Steckel. The Oilers could do a lot worse than David Steckel in a fourth-line role. The 31-year old stands 6'6", kills penalties, wins faceoffs (he's one of the best in the league in that role) and has an above average physical game. He's also a guy who does a consistently good job of limiting shots and chances against in a highly defensive role – over the last four years he's generally been on the ice for three defensive zone draws for every two in the attacking zone. He doesn't add a lot offensively – he's in the 15-20 point range most years – but given role and minutes played that's not bad.
Recently around the Nation Network
It's very possible that we could be witnessing the final days of the Phoenix Coyotes - after years of staving off relocation, it appears the club is in serious jeopardy of moving to Seattle:
Quoting a statement by Seattle's mayor, Mike McGinn, Hansen introduced a pair of potential investors to Seattle city council. McGinn said to KING TV, "As recent news reports indicate, it appears the NHL is taking the new ownership proposal seriously."

I wonder what DSF did with his evenings before he decided to spend them all responding to articles about a team he doesn't even like?
Wow, since 11:00am DSF has posted on this article 30+ times. Seriously old man, find something else in your life besides this website. Of course I should find something better to do than count all your comments ... maybe I'll go watch all the Grandlund highlights on YouTube.

Breaking News: Logan Couture has just agreed to a contract extension with #sjsharks
Good thing the Oilers drafted Gagner.
Dodged a bullet there.
And yet your hero Lombardi drafted Thomas Hickey 4th in the same draft. What bullet was he dodging?
C'mon old man you can do better.
June 17 2013, 10:38PM
You can use all the advanced stats you want to say Dubinsky is better than Gagner, but box score stats aren't useless and meaningless either.
Gagner was on pace for 65 points this season. Dubinsky was on pace for 57 points, but only 6 goals, not to mention Gags is younger, still growing, and still has enough balls to show he cares.
June 17 2013, 11:51AM
Don't understand all the desire for a shut down 3rd line centerman. I mean, with Barkov, Yandle, Clarkson and Shea Weber here, it'll be all horn, followed by a puck drop at center ice in store for these troops.
Just say no to a Gordon type.
I'd love to see VF on this team. He is unbelievably underrated. I'm not convinced he's worth 5 stacks a year.. But he would still flourish here in edm.
lol at smithson kills faceoffs and wins penalties. does that sum up his game lmao
Yes he was. But we can thank him for being a horrrible gm, that led to our high end talent and move on.
Let's be honest here kids.
Kevin Lowe has been the pilot of the Good Ship Lollipop for well over a decade.
He steered the ship into an iceberg.
HE hired Steve Tambellini who had been passed over in Vancouver THREE times.
He signed off on hiring Ralph Krueger.
He then signed off on hiring MacT as GM without doing a proper search for the best candidate available (see Nill, Jim for reference).
The guy he hired then publicly supported Krueger mere days before firing him and hiring another coach with no NHL track record when other much more qualified candidates were on the market.
When you want to know why the Oilers are a dreadful hockey team, put Yakkity Sax on the turntable and stare at pictures of Kevin Lowe.
Could MacT be better than Tambellini... maybe.
Will Eakins be better than Krueger...maybe.
Please note that the assistant coaches and pro scouting staffs who assisted in the Drive to the Ditch ® are still gainfully employed by the worst franchise in the National Hockey League.
June 17 2013, 09:09PM
No, he's incompetent until proven competent.
He has zero track record in signing players or trading for assets.
Does that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling?
If you have a different opinion, please show your work.
False. He scooped up the hottest up-and-coming coach, according to the centre of the universe. Or does that not count?
June 17 2013, 09:30PM
I will say this, and I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with DSF but he has some valid points.
On Mac-T....If we over value him now, then we are not holding the organization accountable for the last ten years.
He has done very little to warrant any type of congratulatory praise.
Signing a rookie coach after firing a rookie coach also, does not warrant praise.
After Mac-T left the Oilers how many teams hired him as even an assistant?
He finally had to go to the AHL to coach again.
As for Dubinsky vs Gagner, what Gagner has in offense he gives up defensively.
Take the -6 points offensive differential and go with Dubinsky everyday!
Mac-T has done nothing yet, until he does, by July 5th nobody should be praising this guy.
He has 12 positions to fill, I'll hold my judgment until July 6th.
Until then, it's the same organization for the last 10 years.
And another comment section of a thread being polluted to the point of unreadable.......
Uhm.... How many points did Gagner get last year? Oh yeah more than 3 times than what Johansen got. And if you say Boone Jenner is better, then your argument for Dallas Eakins being a bad coach is invalid.
Jenner has magic fairy dust which he puts on his skates before every game. There for he is better...

"Clint Eastwood Type"... David Backes!
NMC, value contract, STL has no cap issue - No chance. But a guy like that.
June 18 2013, 01:38AM
Lol, a Clint Eastwood type.....he'd kill all those sons a biotches over on that other bench.
Ridding the team of Horc,Belanger and Smithson would be enough for this year, Sell the farm for Barkov, and slot Ganye in that 2nd lc role.
RNH,Ganye,Barkov and Steve Ott. Sammy goes to the highest bidder at the deadline.
are you intentionally trying to sound like that Oilers h-buzz guy?
June 18 2013, 06:23AM
You realize the Jackets also have Ryan Johanssen and Boone Jenner, right?
the Jackets have a guy who tossed up 1A and was -8 in 5 games before being healthy scratched in the AHL playoffs?
"Kekalainen was asked if Johansen's need for a frequent prodding raises a red flag about his career trajectory. His response, essentially, was "we'll see."
if the Oilers had him and he put up the same performance for OKC in the playoffs you would be the first one on here ripping the Oilers for such a wasted pick blah blah blah. But, since he is a non-oiler prospect, he is therefore better.
you are on an Oilers based fansite, yet you constantly seem surprised that people around here like the Oilers. I would suggest you go give hfboards a try to expand your Oiler horizons, but you already got your ass banned from there.
June 17 2013, 11:22AM
That's a lot of bodies available at less than what Hemsky and Horcoff will demand. In addition to that, there's all the compliance buyout players up for grabs as well. With all this human trafficking this summer. Could be 70/30, that 10 and 83 are back here in the fall again.
Mentioning you want to clean house, and then actually getting this accomplished, can be difficult. Good luck Craig.
Sign Lapierre and Steckel for the 3rd and 4th line C's respectively.
Lapierre may be a pr*ck but when he plays for your team its ok. See Esa Tikkanen, Ken Linsmen, Raffi Torres, Marty McSorely.
Bring in those two and you not only improve defensively but the team suddenly has some physicality. Add in some beef at a second line winger spot, the third line wing spot and on the 4th line and now the Oilers would have semblance of a physical team.
In other news...lots of discussion over at Lowetide that the Oilers are in the running to sign 22 year old Corban Knight.
He was a 5th round pick in 2009 of the Florida Panthers but he and Florida could not come to a contract agreement because the Panthers are so deep at centre (despite what you may read here).
He's a 6'2" 220 right shooting centre who put up 49P in 41GP in his final season at UND.
Could be a potential 3rd line centre right there.
June 17 2013, 12:25PM
can you not use that survey tool like you used for the draft picks.
My guess on a Lapierre Contract would be in that 1.5 million range on a 2 year deal, I would sign him to that and have him slotted to play 4th line and see if he can push up the charts for 3rd line.
Oil need guys who piss off the other team. Lapierre cetainly does that.
Oilers need to piss off the other team by being better than them. Lapierre is a goof.
WILLIS : Can you run a Western and Eastern Buyout column with the UFA group ? The buyout sector is far more appealing than thethin UFA market this year . That's where all the competition and meat lies this year .
From the looks of that FA list. It seems a trade is the way to go. Perhaps a few more players will pop up with the compliance buy outs.
You have a unique skillset for Smithson "He kills faceoffs, wins penalties". haha :)
June 17 2013, 08:05PM
Back to your old tricks again eh. You must get sick of always being right.
So, in response to my query: you cannot.
You've also assumed that I am of the belief that MacT was the best man for the job. Wrong again.
Poor work on your last statement as well. You've fouled the argument and Locke is spinning. The correct quote is:
"absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
Which, actually, works against you here.
Oh. good grief.
There were far better coaches with a winning track record to choose from.
Eakins might well work out fine but there is significant evidence that AHL head coaches fail at the the NHL level.
Would you like a list?
I would like a list.
Prior to a list, we should agree on what defines failure.
Then, for the sake a balance, please provide a complimentary list of coaches who did not "fail" at the NHL level. We can add a "neutral" category to that categories as well, if you like. Let's just make sure we're above board before embarking here.
I would also appreciate it if you made this list inclusive of all head coaches since creation of the league.
Excel format is fine. Colour-coding always helps too.
Oh. good grief.
There were far better coaches with a winning track record to choose from.
Eakins might well work out fine but there is significant evidence that AHL head coaches fail at the the NHL level.
Would you like a list?
Does the list include Dan Bylsma? ; )
DSF fact is neither of us are right...yet. Wins and losses are all thay matters. And MacT and Eakins havent had a chance to win or lose in these positions.
I like the moves that have been made. And thats enough for me. I dont have to justify that to you. Because unlike you i dont need my spelling and grammer to be perfect or be right all the time because my self worth is not tied to the comment section of this website.
I will pray for restoration and healing for you. I know what its like to be that angry. Its no way to live.

When hiring a coach, you also need to keep in mind their coaching style and how it fits with your team.
With Eakins, he has a history of coaching young, developing players and he has a winning record doing so. Tortorella coached a team that is built much differently than the Oilers are. At least Mactavish is trying to make a competitive club already; I'll take a proactive GM that fails over one that does nothing and fails (looking at you Tambellini)
Also, I don't think that because he coached in the AHL that makes him a lesser coach. Patrick Roy was hired as a coach in Colorado and I haven't heard you criticizing that move. He has no NHL coaching experience. They look more and more like an old boys club each day...

Short of Malikin though who else would you want as a second line center?
Lol, a Clint Eastwood type.....he'd kill all those sons a biotches over on that other bench.

Jonathan, you are an astute hockey guy, with great topics and insights to game. I look forward reading the stuff on here, but honestly, its getting to the point that this sight is becoming un-hockey, and who wants to scroll through pages and pages of babble and nonsense , which are unrelated and is only verbal diarrhea. between the likes of DSF and MKE.
Dont mind a bit of ,off -side stuff, but this is getting out of hand, as well as being boring as heck.
Just saying.
Ill just ignor him in the future. Its not a big deal.
June 18 2013, 02:35AM
Tyler Seguin would've looked good right about now as our first line center.He's on his way to his second cup and probably thanks his lucky star's everyday that the Oiler's took Hall instead of him.
I think Seguin is secretly thanking Burke! The Oilers took the right guy.
185 Comments. Imagine if there was an actual hockey trade to talk about. Instead of mere speculation.
There are some very passionate Oilers fans and Oiler haters here (DSF).
Can't wait till the Cup is awarded to Boston and the fun times can begin.
Hope Mac-T walks half as good as he talks.
June 17 2013, 11:08AM
I like the idea of Steckel as 4 line C ... in fact I liked that idea last season after it was brought up as a possibility several times, and found it vexing Anaheim got him for a prospect(Ryan Lasch, who I admittedly know little about) and a 7th rounder...
Instead we had Tambo paying a 4th for Smithson.
If we were going to audition a pending UFA... I know, I need to turn the page and move forward, it's MacT time.
How's Steckel's footspeed though? I doubt this admin will want the 4th line skating in quicksand.
Sign Lapierre, he is that guy like Andrew Shaw, Brad Marchand, not as talented but he is a pain to play against and you despise him when he is on the oppositions line up.
He is also a good cap hit gamble as well.
how much do you think he would cost for 2 or 3 year term?
A couple more JW.
Derek Roy
What is RNH's progress?
June 17 2013, 11:14AM
I would go for Lapierre as well - one of those guys you absolutely hate on other teams, but love on yours, no? - this is a team looking for physicality. It absolutely has to be a high priority with whomever they are vetting for a bottom 6 role.
I didn't know Malholtra had syphilis.
can you not use that survey tool like you used for the draft picks.
My guess on a Lapierre Contract would be in that 1.5 million range on a 2 year deal, I would sign him to that and have him slotted to play 4th line and see if he can push up the charts for 3rd line.
Oil need guys who piss off the other team. Lapierre cetainly does that.
I read somewhere Vancouver is definitely letting Lapierre walk, and yeah everyone hates him, but I wouldn't hate him on my team.
as a canucks fan whats your view on Lapierre?
Handzus has looked really good in Chicago, he would be well suited to stay on a team that is deep at center that can play him in specialist roles with skilled wingers that have speed, he would be dead in the water in edmonton as he would have way to high of demand on him to "drive the river"
My question is, why are the wings letting V.F. go?

Well, I'm not a Canucks fan but living on the coast I've seen him play a lot.
He definitely is an agitator but he has been prone to taking bad penalties in the past.
You have to ask yourself why Gillis isn't all that interested in re-signing him and I think the answer to that is his lack of production.
While 10 points in 48 games isn't all that bad, the Canucks are looking to get more scoring from their bottom 6, exactly what MacT said he wants too.
It appears the Canucks are going to give their younger guys (Brendan Gaunce and Jordan Shroeder) more of a chance than AV was willing to give them so, for that reason, Lapierre may be deemed expendable.
Of course, the Canucks also signed NCAA free agent Kellen Lain (6'6" 220) who may have a shot at #4C on the team.
As for the Oilers signing him, I can't see much downside unless he wants a lot of money or term.
$1.5M on a two year deal sounds about right.
But the Oilers really need to address their #2C position more urgently IMO.

A, Yondaime Raikage
A (エー, Ē) is the Fourth Raikage (四代目雷影, Yondaime Raikage) of Kumogakure, the son of the Third Raikage and the adoptive brother of B, the Jinchurki of the Eight Tails. Much like his father, he is a very proud, headstrong leader but one that is extremely protective of his villagers. He is also a very honorable man and one that is very attached to his villagers. While he often seems a harsh brute, he is very kind and emotional, specially when it comes to his relationship with B, who he refers to as his brother. Because of this attachment, he is often divided between doing what is right for the village but is wrong for an individual or what is right for that individual but is logically wrong for the village's interests. As a strong leader, A also recognizes and respects those who, like him, are strong leaders, an aspect easily seen throughout his relationship with Tsunade, who he trusts and respects as an equal. His ascension to becoming Raikage after his father was not by chance. Having been trained by his father in using a Lightning based Nintaijutsu style, A soon became almost as skilled as his father in using it. So much so that while using the Lightning Armor technique that enables the usage of that style, he becomes fast enough to rival virtually any ninja seen to far. Because of this, he is one of the strongest Kages in the ninja world.
- He is a Lightning Specialist, capable of using all Lightning techniques with a simple handseal
- He is a Taijutsu specialist, with great physical strength and speed
- He can use the Lightning Armor technique and the Nintaijutsu techniques that can be used with it.
- The member needs to be Sannin Rank and a member for 5 months
- Requires the member to have mastered Lightning Release and Taijutsu
- The user must undergo a battle test to showcase his knowledge of the bio and its abilities.

Shalom Chicago is a new exhibit opening at the Chicago History Museum on Sunday, October 21st.
The museum has published this description of the exhibit: "Discover the history of Jewish Chicago through personal stories illustrating the larger community's experience and evolving identity. In the 1840s, German Jewish immigrants helped shape the young city. Decades later, thousands of Eastern European Jews arrived, flooding Maxwell Street and working in the city's industries. Divided by class and culture, Chicago's Jews overcame their differences to confront the worldwide conflicts of the twentieth century."
Those interested in the exhibit may also be interested in the ChicagoAncestors.org Synagogue Collection, which maps over 275 Chicago synagogues. The sources consulted to create this collection include:

James O'Connor will make his London Irish debut this Sunday when Northampton Saints visit the Madejski Stadium.
James O'Connor will make his London Irish debut this Sunday when Northampton Saints visit the Madejski Stadium.
O'Connor will line up at full back in a back three along with Topsy Ojo and Sailosi Tagicakibau. Fergus Mulchrone and Eamonn Sheridan continue their centre partnership.
Ian Humphreys and Tomás O'Leary will play together in the halves. O'Leary will captain the side in the absence of George Skivington.
John Yapp, David Paice and Leo Halavatau will start in the front row with Ian Gough and Bryn Evans in the second row. Chris Hala'ufia will play alongside Samoa International Ofisa Treviranus and Blair Cowan in the back row.
"The team is looking forward to the contest on Sunday. We felt we let a golden opportunity to win a valuable Premiership match slip last weekend and want to put in a big performance in front of our home supporters," said Exiles boss Brian Smith.
"Northampton are the in-form team at the moment and we will have to be at our best to shut them down. It's been a big week for the club with the announcement of James O'Connor and we hope we see a big turn out by our supporters on Sunday to welcome him to the club."
Meanwhile, Saints head to Reading to face an Exiles team which has lost just the one Aviva Premiership match at the Madesjki Stadium in 2013.
Director of rugby Jim Mallinder and the Saints coaches have made two changes to the starting line-up from last Saturday.
Ben Foden's inclusion on the England bench for Saturday's match against Australia means that James Wilson wears the 15 shirt, with Tom Collins coming in for the injured Jamie Elliott.
Tom Mercey has recovered from his recent spell on the sidelines to come onto the replacements' bench, with a first call-up to the senior match day squad for Kiwi fly half and centre Glenn Dickson.
Form: London Irish's three game winning run in all tournaments came to an end late in their encounter with the Falcons at Newcastle on Sunday. The Exiles have been defeated only once at Madejski Stadium in Aviva Premiership Rugby in 2013: 23-29 to Exeter in September. Northampton Saints were impressive in beating top of the table Saracens 41-20 at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday and have now handed Saracens their two biggest Premiership defeats since 2009. The Saints only away victory so far this season came at Harlequins on 13th September. Both encounters between the two clubs in the Premiership last season ended in easy victories for the home side, although Northampton have still been victorious on three of their last four visits to Reading in the Premiership.
The teams:
London Irish: 15 James O'Connor, 14 Topsy Ojo, 13 Fergus Mulchrone, 12 Eamonn Sheridan, 11 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Tomás O'Leary (c), 8 Chris Hala'ufia 7 Ofisa Treviranus, 6 Blair Cowan, 5 Bryn Evans, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Leo Halavatau, 2 David Paice, 1 John Yapp.
Replacements: 16 Mike Mayhew, 17 Matt Parr, 18 Jamie Hagan, 19 Kieran Low, 20 Declan Danaher, 21 Alex Lewington, 22 Shane Geraghty, 23 Darren Allinson
Northampton Saints: 15 James Wilson, 14 Ken Pisi, 13 George Pisi, 12 Luther Burrell, 11 Tom Collins, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Sam Dickinson, 7 Phil Dowson (c), 6 Calum Clark, 5 Christian Day, 4 Samu Manoa, 3 Salesi Ma'afu, 2 Mike Haywood, 1 Alex Waller.
Replacements: 16 Ross McMillan, 17 Ethan Waller, 18 Tom Mercey, 19 GJ van Velze, 20 Ben Nutley, 21 Ryan Glynn, 22 Glenn Dickson, 23 Dom Waldouck.
Date: Sunday, November 3
Venue: Madejski Stadium
Kick-off: 14:00
Referee: Andrew Small
Assistant referees: Roger Baileff and Stuart Terheege

Outlook Man Dead After Police Shooting
Yellow police tape still litters the area where a Sunnyside police officer killed a suspect yesterday at the corner of Harrison and Tacoma Avenues.
Rosa Garza said she saw it all happen next to the T.W. Market, across the street from her home.
"That guy was just standing there, looking at the cop with the gun in the air, shooting it," said Garza, "He was telling them to shoot him."
Sunnyside police were called to the scene around 4 o'clock yesterday after they heard reports of gunshots being fired.
When police arrived, they found 27 year old Ramon Ayala, near a phone booth, firing a gun into the air.
Officers took up defensive positions, and asked Ayala to drop the gun -- instead, he turned it towards an officer, who then shot Ayala in the chest.
"I'm scared, to be honest," said Manny Sanchez, "Because we've been coming here for many-many years and nothing like this ever happened here. It's scary."
Ayala was taken to Sunnyside Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, shortly after.
Police say despite the unusualness of the situation, that didn't stop them from acting in self defense.
"It is an unusual situation," said Sgt. Joe Glossen, "However, if a suspect chooses to point a gun at an officer; because of the threat -- the deadly threat, the officer can't afford not to respond."
Rosa Garza admits it was one of the scariest moments of her life, and won't be forgetting it any time soon.
"It felt like it was in a movie or something," said Garza, "You know how in the movie scenes, the cops are right there, and everything happens all quickly? It was just a shock."
The Sunnyside Police Department said the officer involved in the shooting has been put on paid administrative leave, and the investigation has been handed to Washington State Patrol.
Police say the incident is not gang related.

April Top Notch Teacher: Jackie Goetsch
Emerson Elementary teacher hosts 'homework club' to help students
LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) - This month's Top Notch Teacher comes to us from Emerson Elementary in La Crosse. Second-grade teacher Jackie Goetsch is known for her upbeat, positive and can do attitude.
To Goetsch, the second graders in her class are much more than students.
"Here's an easy one friends," Goetsch said.
Being with her friends every day is something she's wanted since she was their age.
"I had awesome teachers when I was young, I wanted to be like them when I grew up," Goetsch said.
"She's a good teacher," second-grader Porter Ryan said.
"So I feel like I've been very blessed that I've been able to follow my dream and me passion to teach," Goetsch said.
Goetsch started in the La Crosse district nearly 25 years ago and has dedicated lots of her time before school, after school and even on the weekends to making sure all of her friends live up to their potential.
"I do a homework club on Tuesday's and Thursday's with a small group of friends, just to give them some extra support. Usually math, writing, reading help," Goetsch said.
With all the extra time spent helping her friends sometimes lesson planning gets pushed to the weekend, but that's no a big deal.
"It's all about making memories and the extra time that I put in is really devoted towards that," Goetsch said.
Goetsch said teaching has always been her joy and passion and she doesn't expect that to change anytime soon.
"I want my room, and I think it is one of my strengths, to be just the most comfortable and joyful environment for my kids so that they can learn because you can learn so much more and so much easier if you feel safe and happy," Goetsch said.
Besides the homework club Goetsch does a program called books for breakfast where kids put on a reading show for their parents and siblings.
News 8 invites you to nominate a teacher that goes above and beyond.

Updated May 11
ABAJO MOUNTAINS - Blanding #4 Reservoir was stocked with 3,500 10-inch rainbow trout. Blanding #3 was planted with 1,500 10-inch trout. Conservation Officer Joe Nicholson says that fishing at Recapture Reservoir continues to be slow, but adds that persistent fishermen have been rewarded with some nice pike. Nicholson recommends large jigs in white and pumpkin seed colors, or crawfish imitating crankbaits.
BENCHES RESERVOIR - The reservoir is starting to open up near the spillway. Ice-off is expected within a week. The reservoir's tributary is closed to fishing until July 9.
BOULGER RESERVOIR - The reservoir is opening up near the inlet. Access by snowshoe or snow machine only. The tributary is closed until July 9.
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR - The status of ice and open water changes daily. For the most part, the lake remains ice-bound. On warm days, open water appears along the edges. Todd Munford of Big Pine Sports in Fairview recommends using a nightcrawler with split shot; or a black or olive 1/32 ounce jig with a piece of nightcrawler, suspended by a floating bubble.
ELECTRIC LAKE - The north end is open, but remains accessible only by snow machine. Please do not attempt to ice fish the south part of the lake due to safety concerns. Todd Munford says that cutthroat trout are stacking near the inlet for the spring spawn. A nightcrawler/salmon egg combination was the best bet. The best lures have been tan or rust Roostertails or 1/8 ounce brown marabou jigs. Tributaries are closed to fishing until July 9 to protect spawning cutthroat trout.
FAIRVIEW LAKES - The lakes remain ice-bound. Most fish winter-killed. Restocking is expected prior to Memorial Day.
GOOSEBERRY RESERVOIR - The reservoir is mostly frozen, depending on the weather. Water along the east shoreline opens up on warm days. Access by snow machine only. Tributaries are closed to fishing until July 9th.
HUNTINGTON CREEK - The water is rising and becoming turbid. Todd Munford advises anglers in the fly-only zone to use large attractor patterns, trailed by small nymphs, such as the RS 2, WD-40, or Lil Brassie. Brown trout are generally within the 10-12-inch size class. Below the fly fishing zone, Munford recommends jigging 1/16 oz black marabou jigs, drifted in deeper riffles.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (on the Wasatch Plateau, Sanpete County)-The reservoir shoreline has begun to open up on warm days, although recent cold weather has refrozen the reservoir. The DWR advises against further ice fishing this year.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR - The reservoir is open. Aquatic biologists Justin Hart and Craig Walker fished the reservoir recently. They hooked whole dead chubs or shiners on a minnow hook, and swam the bait with a slow retrieve. They caught six splake within the slot, but nothing larger. However, they talked with an angler, who reported catching numerous fish in the slot, and also caught one nice 4-5 pound splake. He had been fishing from a pontoon boat with sinking line and a large streamer. Special regulations apply. The limit is two trout, only one over 22 inches. All trout between 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
LASAL MOUNTAINS - Conservation Officer Joe Nicholson indicates that fishing is starting to pick up on the Colorado River. Channel cats are being taken on worms. LaSal Mountain lakes, though difficult to access, are opening up. Oowah has open water, although the gate remains closed. For anglers willing to hike the three miles beyond the gate, fishing was good for 10- 12-inch trout with salmon eggs and spinners. Kens Lake was stocked with 7,000 catchable-size rainbow trout. Officer Nicholson reports good fishing at Kens for 10-13-inch rainbows and an occasional brown trout. Fishermen have done well with spinners and PowerBait. A few bass and catfish are also being caught. Anglers are reminded that the trout limit is four.
MILLER FLAT RESERVOIR-Access by snow machine only. The reservoir is starting to open up on warm days, and fishing is expected to be good with salmon eggs or chartreuse PowerBait.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR - Aquatics Biologist Craig Walker recommends that anglers fish the deep drop-offs with a jig, spinner or leech pattern. Bait fishermen should try eggs on the bottom with a slip sinker. Walker cautions that the shoreline is muddy, so bring your boots.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR - The reservoir is ice-free, and angler pressure is high on weekends. A creel survey last weekend indicated that fishermen did the best on the southwest side using worms. Angler Ian Pogue reported good fishing success with nightcrawlers, egg sacs, a gold Blue Fox, and gold Jake's Spin-a-Lures. Todd Munford's contacts say fishing has slowed down. Munford recommends nightcrawlers tipped with a garlic salmon egg as the best bait. The longer the cast, the better. He says tubers and pontooners have done fairly well on the southeast side with Canadian brown leeches, trolled slowly on sinking line. Most trout being caught are in the 14-16-inch size range. Conservation Officer Stacey Jones once again cautions anglers against throwing back fish hooked by bait or egg sacs. "Hooking mortality is very high this time of year." states Officer Jones. "It is illegal to harvest eggs from a female trout and then release the fish back into the water," continues Jones. Please remember that all tributaries to Scofield Reservoir are closed to fishing until July 9 to protect spawning cutthroat trout.

In order to better align NGO sustainable development efforts in ways that are beneficial to the populations they serve, it is crucial to listen to perspectives that are typically marginalized in our current global system. This thesis explores synergizing NGO-Malian artist partnerships in innovative, mutually understandable, and mutually beneficial ways to increase NGO project effectiveness and efficiency. This case study features twelve interviews with Malian dancers and musicians residing in Bamako, Mali. The intersections between this data and current academic sources indicate suggested 1) processes to cultivate understanding and mindfully work to shift unjust power dynamics; and 2) projects (themes, partnerships with existing opportunities, and innovations) that demonstrate promising, new potential to improve development efforts. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. arts development Mali non-government organization partnerships sustainability Collaborating with Malian Artists for Increased NGO Effectiveness: A Bamako, Mali Case Study Electronic Thesis or Dissertation M.A. masters Arts and Administration Program University of Oregon

The purpose is to identify actions that strengthen empowerment, examine how they are applied in the managerial and educational practices, and determine the outcomes for participants and stakeholders. I developed an assessment protocol based on organizational democracy principles through an examination of peer reviewed literature and field observations. I applied the resulting evaluation framework in a case study of Juventud FACETA, a program at the Amigos Multicultural Services Center, an organization that has sought to incorporate democratic practices in their mission. This study will be useful for 1) testing a formulation of criteria to examine and develop democratic practices in organizations and 2) designing a piloted evaluation protocol that can be used to assess organizational characteristics and actions that yield democratic empowerment outcomes among organization constituencies and staff dedicated to these principles in action.

This study explores the out-of-school time (OST) arts field through a critical race theory (CRT) lens. For the purpose of this research, OST arts programs include afterschool and summer learning programs focusing on visual arts, music, theater, dance, video production, and spoken word in Chicago, Illinois for youth ages 14-21. Four main tenets of CRT guide the main research question: How are OST arts programs time addressing racism, propagating social, historical, and liberal ideologies, promoting social justice, and giving voice to people of color? By conducting eight interviews with arts professionals as well as a comprehensive literature review and document analysis, themes of race, colorblindness, social justice, and identity development in OST youth arts programs are synthesized to reflect current practices in the field. This research suggests that current methods of critical pedagogy utilized in OST arts programs could promote successful education strategies for both in-school and out-of-school education for youth.

I recently had tree roots cleaned out of my exterior drain line below the driveway. Everything seems to draining fine since, but the water level in the basement toilet seems to be very low. Is this a sign of a further problem outside? I've turned on multiple fixtures upstairs and gone down to see if the toilet is gurgling, but have not been able to catch it.

Coded in modern Fortran, GNU C-Graph demonstrates the theory of convolution underlying engineering systems and signal analysis. "C-Graph" is an abbreviation for "Convolution Graph".
Unlike other signal processing packages, C-Graph dispenses with the learning curve for writing code. Instead, an interactive dialogue guides the user to effortlessly select values for keyboard input.
Designed to enhance the learning experience, C-Graph features an attractive array of scalable pulses, periodic, and aperiodic signal types of variable frequency fundamental to the study of systems theory. The package displays the spectra of any two waveforms chosen by the user, computes their linear convolution, then compares their circular convolution according to the convolution theorem. Each signal is modelled by a register of N discrete values (samples), and the discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) computed by the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
Students of signal and systems theory will find GNU C-Graph to be of value in visualizing convolution.
GNU C-Graph is derived from the BSc. Honours dissertation in Electrical Engineering "Interactive Computer Package Demonstrating: Sampling Convolution and the FFT", Adrienne Gaye Thompson, University of Aberdeen (1983).
Adrienne - who is sole author of the dissertation - reproduced its Fortran 77 program in modern Fortran. She donated C-Graph to GNU realising that the package's usefulness could be enjoyed globally.
Download C-Graph from the main GNU ftp server: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/c-graph/ via HTTP or, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/c-graph/ by FTP. C-Graph can also be found on the GNU mirrors. Please use a mirror when possible.
C-Graph also comes with Fedora, the first GNU/Linux distro to include our package. Sad to say, Fedora is not quite a free distro. Should they become free, we can all then wear a Fedora for freedom!
C-Graph is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
The C-Graph manual is currently available in pdf format, for which the Texinfo source may also be downloaded. We will be making the manual available in the usual formats published by GNU. You may also find more information about C-Graph by running info c-graph or by looking at /usr/doc/c-graph/, /usr/local/doc/c-graph/, or similar directories on your system. A brief summary is available by running c-graph --help.
The mailing list for C-Graph is:
Announcements about C-Graph and most other GNU software are made on info-gnu (archive).
Your C-Graph experience will impact your intuitive understanding of convolution theory. We can better meet your needs if you tell us about your sessions, suggest new features, and report any issues you may encounter. Let us hear from you. Get in touch and exchange ideas on bug-c-graph!
We bank on coffee to keep business wired. Buy us a cup while we code for you!
Those who value Freedom will find it cooler to Gravitate to GNU. Get on point with GNU, and read How to help.
For development sources, issue trackers, and other information, please see the C-Graph project page at savannah.gnu.org.
Over 100,000 discover that visualizing convolution with C-Graph is easy! See our first press releases:
We plan to upgrade the FFT algorithm and provide a custom command line interface in our next release. Contributions from other developers are welcome! Please join us via the mailing lists.
C-Graph is dedicated to all victims of apartheid, and to Haitian-Bahamian attorney-at-law and human rights advocate, Eliezer Regnier, who died as a result of the struggle for justice.
Our logo is inspired by computer vision, the movie "Blade Runner", the copyright symbol, and Regnier's saxophone.
Please see the Translations README for information on coordinating and submitting translations for C-Graph.

Last month, Calibered Events presented The Inaugural Ladies Shotgun "Salon"
event at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, PA. The event exceeded
my expectations, a huge success. We had 26 ladies in attendance from as far
West as California, south to Florida and up north to Massachusetts.
Ladies enjoyed sporting clays, fine fare, massages/spa services, Five-Star
accommodations, shopping and most importantly… they enjoyed the
camaraderie of like minded women!
Our wonderful sponsors – PROIS, Beretta, OTIS, Sportsman's Warehouse and the
Jazzy Giraffe provided various prizes for the ladies. Partnering with
Industry that encourage women in the shooting sports is such an important
facet to the success of many programs. The beauty is that we all have the
same goal…sharing our passion of the shooting sports with others.
Thank you PROIS!

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – While Tupelo and Lee County children were opening their presents, watched by parents tired from helping Santa on Christmas morning, law enforcement officers, emergency responders, firefighters and dispatchers were hard at work.
Lee County Sheriff's Office Sgt. John Tutor started what he estimates is his eighth or ninth Christmas on duty with paperwork from a traffic accident turned in by one of four deputies he supervised Christmas day.
"We did Christmas last weekend," he said. "I usually look to see what days my shift is working in November so I know if I need to make different Christmas plans with my parents."
Tutor said he missed his nephew and niece opening their presents from Santa on Christmas morning.
He spend a good chunk of the morning patrolling the northeast quadrant of Lee County, which was quiet and peaceful.
"It will probably be pretty quiet today," he said while waving at a kid playing with his new remote control helicopter. "I just hope the weather isn't too bad tonight. You never know though, now that I've said the Q-word (quiet) it might change."
Tutor said one benefit of working Christmas is knowing where you'll be instead of having to be three places at once. If different family members aren't fighting over who visits on Christmas Day, he said he can spend some time around Christmas with everyone.
Corey Shouse spent his first Christmas as a firefighter smoking a hog behind Tupelo Fire Station 1.
"I do most of the cooking because everyone else isn't quite as good," Shouse bragged. Tupelo Fire Sgt. Jerry Pannell gave Shouse a sharp smirk: "And it looks like you may be sweeping the parking lot, too."
Shouse's shift started at 6 a.m. but he came in at 5:35.
"What some of the guys did this morning is come in here so the guys who worked yesterday and were supposed to get off at six this morning could go home early and be there when their kids woke up and get Christmas started for their families," said Pannell, who was also working on what he calls the "Lucky A-Shift." The A-Shift, he said, gets Christmas two years in a row because of leap year.
Shouse said he doesn't mind working because he loves the job and the shift is like a family.
Pannell said working with your second family makes it a little easier not being home on Christmas.
Firefighter Levi Tutor was working his second Christmas.
"Normally on Christmas you have people out in the community that will bring you food and all kinds of goodies," he said. "You get to hang out and cook with the guys on the smoker. Last year it was slow and this year it's been quiet all day so far."
Tupelo Police Lt. Brian Brown said besides a few traffic accidents and a Christmas Eve domestic assault, the police department had a quiet Christmas too.
"You work in the department and on a shift with guys you never see so we've gotten to have a little breather and catch up today," Brown said.
He has been working at the department for 17 years and caught his first Christmas Day shift this year. He said some of the officers on his shift, Charlie Shift, volunteered to come in and let other officers take time with their wives and children.
Brown's wife is also an officer with the Tupelo Police Department and working the Christmas night shift. He said they will only get to see each other in passing today but were able to have Christmas festivities this weekend.
Everyone working said it's tough to be away from family on Christmas Day but rewarding to keep people safe.
"You want to be with your family but if everyone was with their family, you leave the county unprotected," Tutor said.
"Wrecks still happen and people still break the law."
