World Classic Sale averages over 33,000!
by Patti Hurtgen, Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
Despite a late start due to the large Holstein heifer show, the sale went off with a bang. The United States and Canadian National Anthems started the evening and were presented by Wisconsin dairy producers Phyllis Agnew and her adult children Katie and Tom Agnew. Popping confetti exploded and alerted the crowd to the excitement that was about to begin and the history to be made that evening.
The first animal entered the coliseum sale ring with her well-known EX-97 dam, Hailey. Sired by Sid, young Hailee sold for $30,000 and was consigned by Gen-Com Holsteins of Quebec.
Red and polled were the order of the day. Two Red and White Holsteins fetched the highest prices of the evening at over $100,000 each.
The highest selling lot of 12, demanded a price tag of $122,000 and was a homozygous polled Colt-P daughter, Elm-Park Geisha PP-Red-ET. Her dam is a Goldwyn that hails from Roxy, the "Queen of the Breed" maternal line. Elm Park Farms and Randy Kleinhans were the consignors and her new owner is David Jones, Sahara Holsteins in the United Kingdom.
Lot 11, sired by Kings-Ransom O Dakker-ET sold for $115,000. She is the #1 GTPI (+2405 GTPI) and #1 Net Merit (+790 NM$) Red and White in the United States. Pie-Red is a potential ninth generation Dam of Merit. She was consigned by Rick Faber and Pond Hill Dairy of Wisconsin and the new addition for Alta Genetics, Alberta, Canada.
First choice female sired by Mountfield SSI Dcy Mogul-ET and from Benner Fork Janardan was the third highest selling lot. Choice of the six pregnancies carry a +2503 PTPI. Consigned by Tranquilty Farms and TAG S.E.C. of Quebec, the choice was the selection of Tim Rauen of Iowa.
Friday night's World Classic was managed by Tom Morris Ltd. The 45 lots averaged $33,111 for a total gross sale of $1,490,000! That is the highest averaging sale ever at World Dairy Expo!

Lets discuss Wano Country.
The country in which the Legendary Samurai Ryuuma hails from is known as a powerful country called Wano. Wano being based off isolated Japan is strong enough to keep the World Government and possibly the Yonkou from ruling over them. Wano is also the first named location in the One Piece Series, being named several years before One Piece first came out in Oda's one shot Monsters.

Fun Slingbacks
"Loved the slingback's colors and quality! I bought the blue with salmon strap. The shoes run a half-size too short, they feel slightly loose. I'd recommend a smaller size for those, who like me, prefer a more snug fit. Another reviewer brought up 'toe cleavage' as an issue with this shoe: however, in my case, as a long-toed gal the cleavage was very, very minimal."

Which law schools are most popular? Cheap but lower-tier schools make the top 10
Posted Mar 20, 2013 12:53 pm CDT
Corrected: The 10 most popular law schools—meaning the law schools with the highest rates of accepted students who go on to enroll—include three lowest-tier schools.
No. 1 ranked Yale Law School tops the list of law schools with the highest yield rates. About 83 percent of students who get offers from the school go on to enroll, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Also making the list are three law schools that are not given a ranking because they are put in the bottom quarter by U.S. News. They are: North Carolina Central University (which once topped a list of best value law schools), Liberty University (emphasizing Christian intellectual tradition), and Southern University Law Center (also on a list of the cheapest law schools).
The national yield average is 25.2 percent. The top 10 law schools with the best yields are:
1) Yale University (82.9%)
2) Brigham Young University (64.2%)
2) Harvard University (64.2%)
4) University of Nevada at Las Vegas (53.5%)
5) University of New Mexico (48.9%)
6) North Carolina Central University (48.2%)
7) Southern University Law Center (47.5%)
8) Stanford University (46.9%)
9) Liberty University (45.4%)
10) University of Hawaii at Manoa (45.3%)
Corrected on March 22 to clear up confusion caused by using "acceptance rate" and "yield rate" interchangeably.

And while many of the answers were sheer ridiculousness, there were some choices that actually resonated with us. The scenes in this gallery are emotional, cathartic, and examples of damn fine acting and writing. Since we're discussing pretty pivotal scenes, beware of spoilers!

The 2011 spring ball season came to a close Tuesday with Emery hosting the Delta Rabbits on both the softball field and the baseball field. Emery came away victorious in both sports and the state 3-A tourney now awaits both teams. The baseball team won 7-3 and the softball team won 8-3.
Victory was sweet for both teams as it sends both to the playoffs on a high note but especially for the boys as the defeated the region champion in that last game and also secured themselves a higher playoff seed than a loss would have brought.
The girls defeated a team that they should have defeated but they played well in doing so. The Lady Spartans continued hitting the ball well but they also played perfectly in the field as they committed no errors and they made all the plays that they should have made.
For the boys, Geren Payne pitched a complete game and limited the high-flying Rabbits to only two hits in the game. Those two hits came in the third inning where the Rabbits scored their runs in the game. After the first Rabbit batters got out, Payne issued one of only two walks he gave up in the game. The next batter got on base due to an infield error that would have ended the inning, but instead kept the inning alive with two runners on. The next two batters doubled and singled and Delta had their three runs in the game.
Over the last four innings of work, Payne only pitched to 13 batters, one over the minimum required as he completed his best effort of the season. Nathan Mecham pitched the last inning for the Spartans to shut down the Rabbits.
Emery scored a single run in the first inning, three in the second inning, two in the third inning and the final run in the fourth inning. In the first inning, Nathan Mecham walked and scored. In the second inning, Tappan Draper singled, a pitch hit Nick Stoddard and Chance Huntington got on base due to a first baseman error. All three scored for the Spartans.
In the third inning, Geren Payne singled, Kash Jewkes singled and Stoddard got hit again. Curtis Mason also walked in the inning but it would be Payne and Jewkes that scored on a combination of stolen bases and passed balls. The final run came when Mecham singled and moved around the bases and scored on singles by Payne and Jewkes.
For the softball team, Delta scored two runs in the second inning on three base hits and a single run in the fifth inning on a pair of base hits. Delta got only five hits off Emery pitcher Whitney Roper in the game, all in those two innings. Roper also struck out eight batters and gave up no walks in the game.
Emery scored four runs in the second inning, one in the third inning, one in the fourth inning and the final two in the fifth inning. In that second inning, Jeridi Price walked, a pitch hit Auminee Bennett and Kaitlyn Thompson singled scoring Price. After a ground out, Markette Tanner hit a home run over the center field fence and Emery led 4-2.
In the third, Roper got hit by a pitch, Shelby Mason singled to left field and Price doubled to score Roper before the inning ended. In the fourth inning, Makiah Sherman got on base due to error by the Rabbit shortstop followed by Tanner singling to left field and Sherman scored on a sacrifice fly to center field by Bryton Hess.
Emery's final two runs came after a pitch hit Price, Bennett singled, Sherman singled and Tanner doubled scoring two runs. Markette ended the day with three hits in four at bats and had five RBI's in the game. Mason was the only other Emery batter to get more than one hit in the game as she singled twice.
Both teams finished third in the region and both will play the first weekend in Cedar City which is good for those fans that have interest in both teams. Emery baseball will play at 10 a.m. at Canyon View High School and the girls will play their first game at Cedar High at noon.

About Gregor Samsa
Gregor Samsa are a band from Richmond, VA, who take their influence from the early British shoegazer scene. (They are not to be confused with a 1990s Illinois group of the same name.) The ensemble was formed in 2000 by Champ Bennett and Nikki King, and named itself after the main character of the famous short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. (While Bennett and King remained the constants, approximately 30 other musicians came and went over the years.) With a Southern twist that adds a bit of dark paranoia to their sound, Gregor Samsa made their recorded debut with an eponymous EP released by Iodine Recordings on June 11, 2002. A short debut album, 27:36 (named after its length), followed on March 18, 2003. The band's second album, the lengthier 55:12, was released by The Kora Records on March 7, 2006. On May 23, 2006, Robotic Empire released the split EP Red Sparowes/Gregor Samsa. Gregor Samsa's third full-length CD, Rest, was released on May 27, 2008. At that time, the lineup consisted of Bennett and King (who married in September 2007), William Bennett, Cory Bise, Toby Driver, and Mia Matsumiya, and the group was operating out of Brooklyn, NY. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Columbia Science and Technology Law Review, Forthcoming
Unarmed aerial vehicles (i.e., drones) are already starting to transform the conduct of military engagements, and these systems are projected an increasingly prominent role in military forces in the future. A number of factors will push these systems toward increased autonomy, raising the possibility of the future development of lethal autonomous robotics (LARs). This article seeks to proactively address the ethical, policy, and legal aspects of ALRs. It first describes the technological status and incentives for LARs, and then reviews some ethical and policy concerns that autonomous systems present. The paper then describes three potential routes for proactive governance of LARs: (i) existing legal and policy regimes such as rules of engagement, laws of war, and international humanitarian law; (ii) arms control agreements; and (iii) "soft law" mechanisms such as codes of conduct and international consultative bodies.

Residents outraged over opening of a nearby "transitional home"
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - "I want it taken out because we don't need it, it needs to be put somewhere else," said Joyce Moore, a concerned neighbor.
Joyce Moore is talking about the Branch House that moved-in in August on Foothill Drive in her Lone Oaks Estate neighborhood.
"It doesn't need to be in a subdivision, it doesn't need to be near daycares and it doesn't need to be [near] schools," said Moore.
Moore and about 50 other people brought their questions and concerns to this meeting Monday night at the Blountville Elementary and Middle School.
Craig Adams started a petition to relocate the house and planned the meeting with the house's operator Roger Morrell in hopes of getting answers.
"It went in so secretively, nobody knew what it was going to be. We've been told several different things, that they would be coming out of the Sullivan County jail over there it wouldn't be people coming out of the Sullivan County jail," said Craig Adams.
Morrell tells News 5, three men live in the home and two of them have a criminal history, but he added all of the residents go through a thorough background check before they are admitted.
And he says they pose no threat to the neighborhood which he also calls home.
"There free now, they are learning to be free in Christ. We don't allow anybody there who has had anybody who is a pedophile or who has any sexual history like that, severe anger issues, I would do nothing to put my family in danger," said Roger Morrell.
Sullivan County Director of Planning and Zoning Ambre Torbett tells News 5 that house was originally zoned for manufacturing and the county rezoned the area for commercial use or B3 zoning this spring.
Torbett adds during that time members of the community didn't speak up.
But she tells News 5, the county can't pick and choose which organizations will allow if they abide within their particular zoning regulations.
"For purposes of group homes, apartments, general retail, office, all of the above, religious, they are all permitted," said Torbett.
So far, more than 200 people have signed the petition.
Craig Adams tells News 5, he now plans to take the petition to the mayor and the county zoning board.

Getting your shot in the first-team is part of the ongoing battle for rugby hopefuls, but in 2012 this group of starlets were given their chance.
Getting your shot in the first-team is part of the ongoing battle for rugby hopefuls, but in 2012 this group of starlets were given their chance.
Their fine efforts have not gone unnoticed by us here at Planet Rugby and we have consequently cobbled together a XV that although is lacking in caps, it makes up for in fearless exuberance.
As always, remember that those included in our recent senior Team of the Year are subsequently ineligible for this selection. Rules are rules.
Newbies of the Year
15 Andrew Horrell (Chiefs) – It was a close call with Brumbies full-back Jesse Mogg who, after a season of rugby league, made such a big impact in Canberra. Mogg has so much potential but in the end there was a number 15 in Waikato making all the right noises, with Horrell's try against the Cheetahs illustrating his running game while his rugby intelligence was apparent all season. The Chiefs have a real gem who is capable of filling in at centre.
14 Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues) – Alex Cuthbert made a significant step up for both Cardiff Blues and Wales after originally coming to Test prominence in December last year. While a certain Ulster finisher, Craig Gilroy, was excellent, he had started to make noise in 2010 so Cuthbert took this jersey hands down. It's a boost that he recently re-signed and we can now expect a strong 2013 from a player who started all of Wales' end-of-year internationals.
13 Paul Jordaan (Sharks) – Leaving North Harbour and Blues youngster Francis Saili in the cold was tough but the form of Jordaan needed recognising. If the JWC star had not missed a spell due to injury, his year could have been even better. Jordaan has big potential.
12 Gael Fickou (Toulouse) – Came into the spotlight in this season's Heineken Cup but will struggle to get regular starts for Toulouse ahead of Florian Fritz et al. There is no question he has the temperament and ability to put pressure on Fritz and maybe Wesley Fofana in the future but for now Fickou knows there is a great deal more improving to be done. Other young centres worthy of applause are Luke Marshall (Ulster) and Tom Casson (Quins).
11 Willie le Roux (Cheetahs) – Simply superb in Bloemfontein this year. The wing or full-back who has past experience playing at 10 gave the Cheetahs so much going forward in Super Rugby. He also backed that up with a strong Currie Cup at Griquas, as his ability to mix creativity with beating a man made him a special player who is expected to shine when the new Super Rugby season rolls around. Mentions for Eli Walker and Johnny McNicholl.
10 Beauden Barrett (Hurricanes) – The 2010 U20 IRB World Championship winner was handed the fly-half reins in Wellington this season and did not disappoint. He scored 197 points for Mark Hammett's side as his running and kicking game entertained the masses, with one of many excellent performances coming against the Blues when he provided the match-winning try for Conrad Smith. Was rewarded with a NZ end-of-year tour squad place.
9 TJ Perenara (Hurricanes) – New Zealand is certainly blessed in the 9 department, with Aaron Smith, Piri Weepu, TJ Perenara and Kerr-Barlow knocking on the door. Smith was ineligible due to PR's full team honours so it was a shoot-out between the Hurricane and Chief, which was eventually won by Perenara after moments such as his inside ball against the Rebels seeing him make it. Can count himself unlucky not to make NZ's touring squad.
8 Billy Vunipola (London Wasps) – At 20, Vunipola has become a hot property in England, with Wasps director of rugby Dai Young already backing his number eight for an England call-up. Rightly so in our eyes as the brother of Saracens loosehead prop Mako has been improving with each game in 2012 and we expect that to continue next year. Two players also set to improve – after a strong ITM Cup and Top 14 – are Ardie Savea and Edwin Maka.
7 Michael Hooper (Brumbies) – If this call was made mid-year, I would have immediately written the name Marcell Coetzee after his outstanding early-season form for the Sharks. His bruising, all-action showings alongside Keegan Daniel and Willem Alberts immediately screamed "future Bok" and that is what he became. But for year-round efforts, Hooper gets in and is a worthy inclusion after consistently exceptional showings throughout 2012.
6 Iain Henderson (Ulster) – What a year it has been for Henderson. His form in the Junior World Championship in South Africa saw him receive plenty of praise before matches for Ulster in the Heineken Cup – due to the injury absence of Stephen Ferris – meant he was firmly on the Test radar for Ireland. Able to play lock, could he be a bolter for the Lions?
5 Samu Manoa (Northampton) – Manoa has been one of the finds of the year from the Saints due the American's size, power and pace. He arrived at Franklin's Gardens from San Francisco Golden Gate RFC and was an instant hit at the club, earning a fresh three-year contract as his reward. A mention also for Melbourne Rebels lock forward Cadeyrn Neville.
4 Brodie Retallick (Chiefs) – After losing Brad Thorn, the All Blacks needed a new grafting second-row under new coach Steve Hansen. Up stepped a 21-year-old from Rangiora who went on to win a Super Rugby winner's medal, the Rugby Championship and many plaudits along the way. Retallick was a real workhorse and sees off the impressive Joe Launchbury.
3 Ben Tameifuna (Chiefs) – From one new Chief to another, young but sizeable Tameifuna has been excellent for the tournament champions in 2012. Weighing in at 140kg, the 21-year-old formed a strong front-row unit with Sona Taumalolo and Mahonri Schwalger and it was intelligent of All Black selectors to get him involved in some training. Samson Lee has impressed for the Scarlets and is a very good prospect to be eased into the Welsh setup.
2 Tom Youngs (Leicester) – The converted centre edges Toulouse's Christopher Tolofua after taking his chance when the likes of Dylan Hartley and Rob Webber – originally ahead of him the pecking order – fell to injuries. He is still a work in progress but so far so good.
1 Mako Vunipola (Saracens) – Two starts, two man-of-the-matches is good by anyone's standards but for a prop it is quite a way to announce yourself. Vunipola is now a full England international and beats Stormers prop Steven Kitshoff to the final newbie jersey.

the old blades were cut out of metal, and were consequently very sharp
I was in a parade for the special olympics a few weeks ago and all these little kids kept running up to me giving me hugs, and their faces were like right by these sharp metal blades, so I reached over and ripped it off in the middle of the parade. one of the parents saw me and thanked me later heh
the sintra ones look good tho i think
theyre a cross between jango fett and batman lol
Did you recover the old blades? Or did you just leave them?

Stats function not working
In the past I found this app very useful but the live stats function seems to be stuck in the OSU Cal game played on October 18, 2013. I have deleted and reloaded the app 3 times.
Not impressed
- Crashed after about 90 seconds of light use. Seriously.
- Doesn't work without cell or WiFi connection so forget about using it during the game - app freezes on splash screen and you have to manually kill it
- Weather, stats & scores are just The Weather Channel and ESPN mobile put in a frame including cheesy ads
- Takes 10-30 seconds to "warm up" even with a good WiFi connection, and takes a while to switch between pages
- APP company website has USC app plastered all over it - was this a package deal for the PAC-12?
- OK, so this is the best that the #1 Engineering School in the world can come up with? I know that Athletics and Engineering are two different worlds but it looks like Cal was sold a bill of goods.
For this?
Don't ever claim Cal as your source!

Having missed Gloucester's last five matches, fly-half Freddie Burns is back for Friday's Aviva Premiership clash with Bath at the Rec.
Having missed Gloucester's last five matches, fly-half Freddie Burns is back for Friday's Aviva Premiership clash with Bath at the Rec.
The 22-year-old last featured in the Amlin Challenge Cup fixture at home to Mont-de-Marsan on January 19, but has been sidelined with a knee injury ever since.
However, after a patient period of rehabilitation, Burns is back as director of rugby Nigel Davies makes just three changes to his starting line-up.
Mike Tindall returns in midfield, and will skipper Gloucester against his former club, while Nick Wood is named at loosehead instead of Dan Murphy.
Welcoming back Burns to the starting line-up is an obvious boost for Davies, a fact he readily acknowledges, but he also praised the recent contribution of Ryan Mills.
"Freddie wasn't far away last week, but he's firing on all cylinders and it's great to have him back. He's a very chirpy character who brings a lot to the group with his energy, let alone his ability," he said.
"Ryan has been fabulous though. Coming straight back after a long injury, and not playing in his natural position. He's played in three big games for us and done a great job. He deserves a lot of credit for what he's been able to do."
Meanwhile, Bath welcome back Paul James, David Wilson, Francois Louw and Matt Banahan for this derby clash.
Test props Paul James and David Wilson, released by Wales and England respectively, come back into the front-row either side of hooker Rob Webber, whilst Dominic Day and Dave Attwood continue their tough, impactful combination in the second row.
Francois Louw returns to the blindside flank and skippers the side, meaning Carl Fearns switches to the openside as Ben Skirving continues at number eight.
A mix of experience and youth is selected in the half-backs, with 98 times capped Peter Stringer linking up with Tom Heathcote once more.
Flyer Tom Biggs takes his place on the left wing, with the exceedingly robust Horacio Agulla on the right.
The bulldozing Matt Banahan returns to the midfield to join Kyle Eastmond in the centres, with Nick Abendanon completing the line-up at full-back.
Form: It's Round 17 of the Aviva Premiership, and the final round in this block of matches. And, as has been the case for several weeks now, the table is incredibly congested. Gloucester currently occupy fourth place in the table, while Bath are in seventh. However, only seven points separate the two sides. Honours are even so far this season. Gloucester won the Premiership meeting at Kingsholm, whereas Bath won the recent LV= Cup encounter.
The teams:
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Matt Banahan, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Carl Fearns, 6 Francois Louw (c), 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Dominic Day, 3 David Wilson, 2 Rob Webber, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Mat Gilbert, 21 Michael Claassens, 22 Sam Vesty, 23 Semsea Rokoduguni.
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Mike Tindall (c), 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Tom Savage, 5 Will James, 4 Lua Lokotui, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Darren Dawidiuk, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Dario Chistolini, 19 Peter Buxton, 20 Andy Hazell, 21 Dave Lewis, 22 Ryan Mills, 23 Martyn Thomas.
Date: Friday, March 1

Sarah Palin appeared last night on Sean Hannity's TV show, where she was asked about Rick Santorum's comments that she was not going to CPAC for the reasons of financial opportunities and the responsibilities of motherhood. And while she almost let the whole thing go, she didn't hold back from tweaking her potential rival for the Republican presidential nomination.
Earlier this week, Santorum speculated about the reasons for Palin's absence from CPAC. "I have a feeling she has some demands on her time, and a lot of them have financial benefit attached to them," he said. "So I'm sure that she's doing what's best for her and her family."
What's more, he added, that unlike himself, she lives all the way in Alaska — and is "the mother to all these kids." As Mediaite and others have pointed out, the strong social conservative Santorum is a father of seven children, two more than Palin's five.
Hannity reviewed part of Santorum's comments — at first omitting the section about Palin being the mother of all those children.
"Okay, that's the first that I have actually heard what he had to say. And yeah, I think the reports were much worse than what he really said," said Palin. "I think some things maybe were maybe taken out of context. So I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal that perhaps others would want to call him — I'll let his wife call him that instead.
"But no, you know, I think that maybe he is uninformed as to why it is that I can't make it to another political speech in a couple of weeks. As I've explained, February is our busiest winter month. And just because I am a mom that does not mean that I didn't want to be there. But, you know what, I've never been to CPAC, I don't know what the big brouhaha is this go-around. I've never been to that conference, so I don't know why anybody would think it's that big of a darn deal not to be there this time."
Hannity, however, did not let the opportunity to light some fireworks just pass him by, and returned to the topic a short while later.
"But back to the Rick Santorum's comments. I mean, it was pretty specific," said Hannity. "He said financial benefit and, quote, 'she's the mother of all those kids.' I think it was Mediaite that pointed out that, you know, he has seven kids himself."
Palin's eyes shot up for a second, when Hannity read that line.
"Whoa," she said. "I didn't know that he had said that about — 'cause I'm the mother of all those kids. I'm the proud mother of five children, and that — my kids don't hold me back from attending a conference.
"But, you know, again, it's that kind of tit-for-tat thing that Americans are really turned off by. And they want to hear us engaged in debate and discourse and conversation about solutions."

Should the Jets make a move on O'Reilly?
February 17 2013 11:21AM
Spector's Hockey (written by the Hockey News' Lyle Richardson and in no way affiliated with Sportsnet's Mark Spector) cited an article by ESPN's Craig Custance which claims that " the Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames and Phoenix Coyotes (as the) top trade destinations for Colorado Avalanche holdout center Ryan O'Reilly."
Should the Winnipeg Jets add their name to the list?
The answer really depends on what Jets' general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff and his team feel the potential of Mark Scheifele and Alexander Burmistrov could be. With two young and talented centres already in the organization, it only makes sense to add a third once a pecking order is established and the team is confident in the likelihood of their young centres evolving into those roles.
A number of scenarios are possible:
- the Jets are confident Scheifele will develop into a bonafide first line centre and Burmistrov can be the team's second line pivot. If management is confident in this scenario unfolding, which based on Scheifele's junior numbers this year and Burmistrov willingness to play a complete game is a definite possibility, then making a move for O'Reilly makes little sense.
Moving forward, the centre position on the top two lines has already been determined and the team would be acquiring a (reported to be) very expensive third line centre.
- the Jets aren't sure on Scheifele becoming a first line guy and see him more as an offensive 2nd line option. If this is true, then a move for O'Reilly again doesn't make sense. Neither O'Reilly's NHL (55 points last season) or junior numbers (best season of 66 points in 68 games; never scored 20 goals) suggest a player who can be an NHL first liner.
- the highly unlikely scenario where Cheveldayoff doesn't believe either Burmistrov or Scheifele will be better than third line players at the NHL level. If this is the case, which there is nothing to suggest it is, then attempting to acquire O'Reilly would be a must.
The asking price?
The next question is the asking price- would it be worth giving up the requested assets to acquire O'Reilly? Spector's hockey cites a Denver Post article claiming that the ask for O'Reilly is, " a roster player and a top prospect."
Winnipeg's two highest profile prospects are Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba. Is there any scenario where parting with a possible top line centre or potential top pairing defenceman for a lower scoring 2nd line pivot which makes sense? Probably not.
Two players that would check off both the box for 'top prospect' and 'roster player' would be the aforementioned Burmistrov and recently returned from injury Zac Bogosian. Even though both players are currently in the NHL they are young enough and have the talent to grow. If Colorado had any interest in either of these two, they would probably have to be packaged with a higher round draft pick to make the deal happen.
Would you trade Burmistrov or Bogosian and a 2nd rounder for O'Reilly?
If the 2011 AHL version of Zack Kassian nets Buffalo their current 3rd leading scorer in Cody Hodgson, the price for O'Reilly isn't going to be cheap.
So does a move for O'Reilly make sense for the Jets at this point? Unless management doesn't believe they have anything in Scheifele or Burmistrov, it probably doesn't.
February 17 2013, 03:35PM
Bogosian hell no. Bogo has all-star 1RD upside which you don't trade for a defensive acumen with some offensive abilities who looks to be a star 2C.
Burmistrov is an interesting thought because the two have been pretty similar. If you look at junior and first 2 year stats (both regular and advance) they are almost a picture match, both are defensive first C with great puck control and PK abilities, but ROR made the offensive step last season that we hope Burmi will this season... Very interesting.
Hey swindle,
Could you explain your rationale in your assessment of O'Reilly? I have seen a few people - both stats folks and msmers - argue that he is a clear number 1 centre. Just wondering if you can explain what method or evidence you used to make your decision.
The best argument I have seen for his number one centre status is here: http://www.tsn.ca/fantasy_news/story/?id=416077.
I've seen it said by some msmers too, though five minutes of looking could not pull up the article I was thinking of. Doesn't matter - Cullen's is better. One thing I would point out is that he was 24th in scoring for centres last year (as per NHL.com) making him a de facto number one centre (one of the top 30 in the NHL). He scored one point more than David Backes, a great hockey player, and while O'Reilly was doing this, he was only 20.
The reason his junior stats suck is because he played the seasons he would have been dominant in junior - his 18 and 19 year old seasons - in the NHL. Surely you don't think that means he is a worse player than a guy who went back and dominated junior for those years of his career?
Sounds like the Jets are not involved any way - I just wanted to know how you made your decision.
February 18 2013, 03:35PM
$23M/5yrs seems good value. I would trade either cheap salaried player straight up for O'Reilly. If they wanted the pick I'd demand $3M. The Jets are in danger of misplaying the salary cap.
February 18 2013, 10:02PM
I'd trade Burmistrov, Redmond, and a 2nd for O'Reilly in a heartbeat. I'm not sure the Avs would, though. I imagine O'Reilly between Ladd and Wheeler would make an obscenely solid line.

Oregano is super easy to plant. Got a corner in your vege garden that looks a bit empty? Simply dig a little hole and plant your oregano seedling.
You don't even have to wait for oregano to grow to harvest from it - although it's best to wait a little while. If you let it get established before you start picking its leaves, it won't just be a one-hit wonder of a herb.
Given oregano is so easy to plant, try putting it in a hanging basket. You can't go wrong with a good hanging basket - and you can't go wrong with giving a good hanging basket this Christmas. If you've got kids, you can get them involved in the planting.
You'll need a basket and a plastic saucer to fit in the base. If you want to have plants growing out the side of the basket, purchase some sphagnum moss and a basket with small spaces in between the wires (so the moss won't fall out the sides). If you'd rather just plant the top of the basket like you would a pot, grab a basket with a coconut fibre lining.
Make sure your basket has a diameter of at least 350mm - the bigger the basket, the better, in my opinion.
A large one will retain more water, which means it's less likely to dry out.
You could add some parsley, thyme, basil or cherry tomatoes to your oregano, and even add strawberries to the sides. They take up very little room and the basket allows them to stay clear of the ground - which makes it harder for pests to get them.
Once you've got your tools and seedlings it's time to get started. Place your basket on top of a bucket so the curved base doesn't rock around.
It's a good idea to soak the sphagnum moss in a bucket of water first. It's a natural sponge, which means it will soak up water and provide the plants with ongoing moisture, plus it stops the soil falling out.
Once your moss is damp, place it along the bottom of the basket and approximately 50mm up the sides.
Next, sit the plastic saucer on top of the moss and pour in potting mix until it reaches the same height as the moss.
I like to use a slow-release fertiliser because it will feed the plants for up to four months - until I redo the baskets for winter.
If you're growing plants down the side of your basket, now is the time to lie their roots across the potting mix and poke the top of the seedlings through the sides of the basket. Then add another layer of moss over the top. This time, place the moss 100mm up the inside of the basket.
Add another layer of potting mix and seedlings, put another layer of sphagnum moss down and take it all the way up the inside of the basket.
Fill the container to the top with potting mix. (If you're using a basket with a coconut fibre, this is where you join in.) Now, simply plant your other seedlings.
Once you've finished your basket, tie a big ribbon around it and you've got the perfect gift.

5 Reasons Why Yahoo Should/Shouldnt Take Microsoft Up On Its Offer - Reasons To Say No
Microsoft made waves when it announced it was offering $44.6 billion for Yahoo. A tempting offer if ever there was one, especially since it is much higher than Yahoo is valued at. But there are also some very good reasons why Yahoo should just say no.

Introductionameba or amoeba (both: əmēˈbə) [key], common name for certain one-celled organisms belonging to the phylum Sarcodina of the kingdom Protista. Amebas were previously classified as members of the animal kingdom. Most amebas are very small (from 5 to 20 microns in diameter) and contain a single nucleus. A. proteus averages 0.25 mm in length. Members of the genus Pelomyxa, however, may be well over a millimeter (up to 8 mm) in diameter and may contain hundreds of nuclei. The giant ameba Gromia sphaerica, found on the ocean floor, may reach 1.5 in. (40 mm) in diameter.
Amebas constantly change the shape of their bodies as a result of the phenomenon known as ameboid movement, involving the formation of temporary extensions (pseudopodia, or false feet) of the body. Pseudopodia, used in locomotion and feeding, may be rounded at the tip (lobopodia), pointed (filopodia), branched and fused together (rhizopodia), or somewhat rigid and pointed (axopodia).
Although simple in form, amebas are very successful organisms and are found abundantly in a variety of habitats all over the world. Amebas live in freshwater, the oceans, and in the upper layers of the soil, and many have adapted to a parasitic life on the body surface of aquatic animals or in the internal organs of both aquatic and terrestrial animals. Few animals escape invasion by some type of ameba. Some are harmless, but others are pathogenic and cause serious diseases; e.g., Entamoeba histolytica causes amebic dysentery, which is fatal if untreated. The many genera of amebas were given their common name because of their resemblance to the genus Amoeba (order Amoebida), which includes several large, common species of which the freshwater Amoeba proteus is the most familiar.
The term ameba is sometimes also used to refer to other unicellular protists (e.g., slime molds) that have ameboid features such as pseudopodia. Other ameboid protozoans of the phylum Sarcodina include the marine radiolarians, which form silicate skeletons; their freshwater counterparts, the heliozoans; and the shell-bearing foraminiferans.

2013 PRISMS GLOBAL HEALTH LECTURE SERIES: "Viral Forecasting for Pandemic Prevention"
Current global disease control efforts focus largely on attempting to stop pandemics after they have already emerged. This fire brigade approach, which generally involves drugs, vaccines, and behavioral change, has severe limitations. Just as we discovered in the 1960s that it is better to prevent heart attacks then try to treat them, over the next 50 years we will realize that it is better to stop pandemics before they spread and that effort should increasingly be focused on viral forecasting and pandemic prevention. In this talk I discuss how novel viruses enter into the human population from animals and go on to become pandemics. I then discuss attempts by my own research group to study this process and
attempt to control viruses that have only recently emerged. By creating a global network at the interface of humans and animals we are working to move viral forecasting from a theoretical possibility to a reality.
