Bancks Brings Heart to the Heat

There are two paths to becoming a revered alumnus of a junior hockey club. The first is that of the superstar, vaulting quickly to the pro ranks, putting your junior team in the spotlight during draft previews and prospect forecasts. The second requires four years of dedication, winning the hearts of the hometown fans with your on-ice sacrifice and community involvement.
The Lethbridge Hurricanes have seen both types of player come through the system in recent years. Zach Boychuk and Luca Sbisa were drafted early and then ascended to pursue fame and fortune as professionals, while players like Cam Braes and Carter Bancks found themselves just off of the NHL radar, but winning Hurricane fans' hearts as committed two-way players. Twice undrafted, Bancks now has something to prove.
"… never drafted into the WHL, NHL, never signed an NHL deal until my 21 year old summer. I just believe in myself and believe that I'll just find a way, work my way through it," Bancks told me about his decision to continue chasing the dream as a pro hockey player. I caught up with the former Hurricane captain in Abbotsford where he is participating in his third training camp as a pro with the Heat.
Competition for spots in the AHL is a little tougher this year as a result of the NHL's ongoing labour strife, and Bancks recognizes the challenge ahead of him. "Right now I'm just battling. There's a ton of good players, it's been a competitive camp." A ton of good players, indeed. Seven forwards at Heat camp spent time with the Calgary Flames last season, and WHL standouts Max Reinhart (Kootenay) and Michael Ferland (Brandon) have also been added to the mix, meaning competition will be fierce for one of 13 anticipated spots up front on Heat coach Troy Ward's final roster.
Still, Bancks hasn't changed his approach to preparing for camp. "I did everything I could this summer to show up in the best shape I can be in. Best shape I've ever been in my life." Also working in his favour is something that Hurricane fans should be familiar with: versatility. "If they need me to play first, second line minutes and contribute, I feel like I have that capability. But I also am quite comfortable playing a third, fourth line position, because I like playing with high energy; I like being physical."
The physical aspect of Bancks' game contributed to some injury trouble in his first two seasons with the Heat where he missed 72 games sidelined with concussions. He concedes that the injury troubles may have been caused by "being a little bit too reckless," but he doesn't want to stray too far from what's brought him success. "I've got to keep playing that way, that's why I'm successful … I'm willing to put my body on the line, but at certain times maybe not go flying in front of a 240 lb d-man. Maybe meet him at the puck and try to tie him up and steal the puck rather than hit him."
Hurricane fans are all too familiar with players losing time to head injuries, especially after Michael Sofillas sat out all of last season while struggling with concussion problems. Bancks offered some advice to players in that situation.
"Number one thing is listen to your body … I tried to play a game only two weeks later and I wasn't ready. But I had such a good opportunity, and I was really hot at the time, I was leading the team in scoring. I just didn't want to let it slip by, and I tried to rush it back, and it ended up setting me back big time … If you're not right, you can't try and push through it." As for regaining confidence after an injury, Sofillas is heeding the former captain's advice: "You've got to get that first bump right away, remind your body, all the doubts you've had, that you're good to go, and then just go for it."
Bancks also reflected on his time with the Hurricanes, including the Eastern Conference title in 2008. "That '08 playoff run was pretty special. The way the town got behind us, the bond our team had … it was a really loud building throughout that whole playoff run and that made it tons of fun for us to play there … The highlight for me would probably have to be when we swept Calgary in the Eastern Conference finals." Also among his best memories in Lethbridge: "My last game as a 20 year old was awesome. It was a little emotional just because that town had treated me so well and I'd had so much fun there."
As for today's Hurricanes, Bancks foresees good things. "I actually got a chance to skate with them once before I came out here to Abbotsford, and they've got a really good young group of core players. They might not be winning the championship this year, but in the next few years. The group that I was out there skating with looked like a real hard working character-type players."
Now, it's all about looking forward for Bancks as he seeks to make an impact in whatever role he earns with the Heat. "Wherever they need me to fit in, I'm willing to do that and every day I'm just trying to show up and show them how bad I want to be here … If I can make the other team's top players' life a little bit difficult, which is kind of what I did back in Lethbridge, that's something I've kind of been thrown into in the last year, and something I really enjoy doing." It's a role that he and his feisty, never-quit attitude are well suited to.
Still bringing the same fire and determination that Hurricane fans witnessed for 262 games, Carter Bancks is poised to win the admiration of Heat fans as well. Don't be surprised if you see him winning the hearts of NHL fans one day, too. After all, Carter Bancks always finds a way.
Bancks is a very interesting guy. When you speak to him, the first thing you notice is his smile. Partially because he never really stops smiling, but also because he's missing some front teeth.
If Bancks can stay healthy, he'll always be a valuable guy for the Heat.

Speaking of the Heat, apparently Sportsnet is going to start airing Saturday night games for the AHL.
October 05 2012, 06:05PM
Edit: Never mind, I can't read. It's the Blazers, not the Broncos.
Great article by a fellow Lethbridge native, nice work Josh! Oh how I miss the days when we had Bancks, Boychuk, King, Fadden, Sbisa and Metsola leading the Canes to the WHL final. This year's group is a curious one, from the two home games I was able to attend it seemed like their defense was way over their head (highlighted by getting out-shot 60 (!!) to 20 against the Oil Kings). They've got a great goalie, so that alone may sneak them in to the playoffs, but they've got a lot of work to do.
Sorry for the ramblings, I know it's a Flames site but eh, at least the Canes are playing hockey! One of these days Kent I'll get you down to Lethy for a Canes game to track the advanced stats! (hint: the Canes stats would most likely stink)
October 05 2012, 09:43PM
Thanks, schevvy. Keep an eye on canescast.ca for more like that this season. You might see me at the games sometimes. I'm often shooting photos from between the benches.
That game against the Oil Kings was a defensive melt-down like what constantly got them into trouble last year. They were missing Johnston, Henry, and Pilon for that one. I don't think we'll see as many like that this year (here's hoping!). Rimmer was outstanding that night. 43 shots against through two periods and they were only down 1-0 headed to the third.
Kent, if you do get down to Lethbridge for a game, I'll buy a round of beers.
Speaking of the Heat, apparently Sportsnet is going to start airing Saturday night games for the AHL.
I've got tix for the Heat game next Saturday against the Peoria Rivermen, so if its not televised i can give a brief synopsis of the game.

Iran Announces New Space Launch Vehicle (SLV)
By SteelJaw
We are about one-third of the way through Iran's annual "Ten Days of Dawn" observation which celebrates the victory of the Islamic revolution in Iran and the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979. The occasion serves as a platform for Iran to boast about progress under the Islamic Republic and demonstrate military, scientific and technical prowess. This, despite the West's attempts to limit technology transfer in key areas, such as missile technology.
Day 3 of the celebration is set-aside as "Space Day" and yesterday, Iran's President Ahmedenejad had three items of note/accomplishment to announce that:
- Iran had launched a payload of animal specimens (a mouse, turtles and worms) into space and recovered them on a new research rocket named Kavoshgar-3 (Explorer-3);
Three new satellites were unveiled: the Tolou (Sunrise), the Mesbah 2 (Lantern 2), and the Navid (Promising Sign) and
A new space launch vehicle, Simorgh-3, which will serve as the launch vehicle for those satellites.
- Simorgh SLV
Of these announcements, the last is the most interesting and perhaps, troubling. With the ability to loft 220 lbs into a 310 mile earth orbit (if it indeed works), that would move Iran into a new capability category with a nascent ICBM. The implications for the US and allies would be the impact on the European PAA and near term planning for the global BMDS, all of which (along with the BMDR) were predicated on a slower timeline for Iran to develop an ICBM capability, 2015 or 'mid-decade.' Tied with Iran's continued intransigence on the nuclear front (aided and abetted by China's continued refusal to support a sanctions regime) this is one announcement that has little upside to it. Russia, at least, is coming into alignment with the US:
"Mutual understanding between Russia and its international partners on additional sanctions has clearly improved," Kosachyov said in an interview with state broadcaster Rossiya 24 today. "The situation is beginning to alarm us increasingly."
A successful launch will likely bring pressure to bear on the US to step up the rate of deployment and development of both the sea- and land-based elements of the European PAA, leveraging increased deployment time on units that are already HDLD in nature and turning up the burner on the SM-3 Blk IIa program. It may also cause a reassessment of the plans for the ground-based BMD system to see if it still serves as a hedge in its current configuration as per the BMDR.
The continued advancement of Iran's missile programs stands in defiance of the MTCR, a voluntary consortium of 39 countries regarding the export controls on technologies central to missile development. Of course, neither China nor North Korea are members and they are among the worst of the serial proliferators, North Korea especially so in the case of cooperative ventures with Iran. Also neither China, North Korea or Iran are parties to the follow-on regime, the International Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation. The enablement of this unholy alliance of proliferators brings us to the Simorgh. Below are two images, one of the boost stage of the Safir-2, which placed a small satellite into earth orbit last year. The second image is what is presumed to be the business end of the Simorgh's first stage — a cluster of four liquid-propelled rockets.
Again, clearly it seems the Iran's indigenous program is well underway in spite of these regimes.
The leading question then becomes, given the historical record of cooperative effort between North Korea and Iran, how related is/will be the Simorgh to the TD-2:
. . . and that, as the saying goes, is the $64,000 question.

Re: Traditional english dishes
Welcome Andaluz Chef.
A full English will always go down well with tourists, or ex pats. British bacon, fresh mushrooms, tomato, egg(s) and of course, black pudding (best from Scotland). There are those that would like baked beans as well and even sauteed potatoes. One could go on. Best to grill bacon and tomato and lightly fry the black pudding. Please, make sure you serve on hot plates. Nothing worse than hot food on a cold plate - yuk.
Good luck.

Re: Traditional english dishes
Don't forget to cater for the vegetarians, ie veggie crumble or pie. Had a very nice veggie shepherds pie last night. Onion, garlic, carrots, chestnut mushrooms, Puy lentils, wine, stock, tomato puree, plus other basics. It was delicious, even though I'm not a vegetarian. Definitely on our must-do-again list.

SLU Researchers Receive $2.5 Million NIH Grant to Improve Detection of Rare Genetic Disorders
ST. LOUIS - Researchers at Saint Louis University have received a five-year, $2.5 million National Institutes of Health grant to test a new method of screening newborns for a group of rare, but serious genetic disorders that affect approximately 200 babies born in the U.S., each year.
|Adriana Montano, Ph.D. is an associate research professor
of pediatrics at Saint Louis University.
The proposed screening method, developed by SLU researchers, will use dried blood samples routinely taken at birth to test for Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) disorders. This group of chronic and progressive disorders occurs in approximately 1 in 25,000 births and include Morquio, Hunter and Sly Syndromes. Bone deformities, enlarged abdominal organs, hearing loss, vision impairment, valvular heart disease and mental retardation are common in people with MPS disorders. In nearly all cases, the disease is fatal with an average life expectancy of 10 to 20 years if untreated.
According to Adriana M. Montaño, Ph.D., associate research professor of pediatrics at SLU and principal investigator of the study, one challenge in treating patients with MPS disorders is diagnosing the disease before it has progressed too far. Most MPS patients are asymptomatic at birth, and do not receive a diagnosis until they are 4- to 5-years old.
"If our proposed screening method is successful, it would revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat patients with MPS disorders," said Montaño. "By the time most patients are diagnosed, the disease has already caused irreversible damage. If we were able to identify newborns with MPS disorders and begin treatment immediately, though, we could slow or even stop the progression of the disease, greatly improving their quality of life and possibly prolonging it."
Newborn screenings for a number of genetic diseases are standard practice worldwide. In this study, researchers hope to perfect a simple, cost-effective method that could be included in the standard screening series. Researchers will test the effectiveness of the new screening method, which measures three biomarkers to detect MPS disorders, and will conduct a pilot study using 200,000 newborn blood samples.
Conventional methods for detecting MPS disorders, which rely on urine samples, are not suitable for mass screening because they are laborious and expensive. The proposed method uses a two-tier strategy. Researchers will first screen all newborns for elevated levels of three biomarkers that are associated with MPS disorders. Samples that are flagged as "increased risk" in the first screening will then undergo a more rigorous test that will provide a definitive diagnosis and determine the individual's MPS subtype.
"Our proposed method has another advantage in that it can be used for monitoring the patient's response to treatments and predicting the severity of the disease," Montaño said.
About MPS Disorders
People with MPS disorders have an enzyme deficiency that prevents their bodies from properly degrading glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs are sugar chains that are important to cell function. Found throughout the body, GAGs serve a variety of functions, such as providing cushion around the knee and enabling light to pass through the cornea, which is necessary for vision. There are 11 known enzyme deficiencies, resulting in seven distinct forms of MPS.
The most common therapies used to treat patients with MPS disorders are enzyme replacement therapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy, all of which aim to restore enzyme activity. Another therapy is substrate reduction therapy, which works by reducing the amount of waste that a cell makes due to the enzyme deficiency. While there is no cure for MPS disorders, Montaño says in recent years researchers have made great strides in treating patients who have the disorders.
"The FDA has already approved therapies for some MPS types and other therapies are currently being tested in clinical trials. By the time we finish this study, hopefully we will have approved therapies for all forms of MPS," Montaño said. "We know how devastating the diagnosis of an MPS disorder is on families. But with early detection and improved therapies, we hope to offer a brighter outlook for these patients and their families."
Shunji Tomatsu, M.D., Ph.D., from the departments of biomedical research and orthopedics at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children is also principal investigator on the study. Professors Tadao Orii, M.D., and Yazuyuki Suzuki, M.D., Ph.D., from Gifu University, and Seiji Yamaguchi, M.D., from Shimane University in Japan, will provide the pilot study blood samples.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease and heart/lung disease.

Flight to Lima, Peru. A Peru representative will be at the airport to meet you for your transfer to your hotel, in the heart of Miraflores, the bustling retail district.
Casa Andina Private Collection - Miraflores
Upon arrival from Lima or Cusco, you are met at the airport and transferred to the Puerto Maldonado headquarters. You will be asked to pack only the necessary gear for your next few days, and leave the rest at a safe deposit. This helps keep the boats and cargo light. Skirting Puerto Maldonado, you will then drive 20 kilometers to the Tambopata River Port, entering the Native Community of Infierno. The 45-minute boat ride from the Tambopata Port to Posada Amazonas will take you into the Community's Primary Forest Private Reserve. Boxed lunch will be served en route.
Upon arrival, the lodge manager will welcome you and brief you with important navigation and security tips. A 20-minute walk from Posada Amazonas leads to the 30-meter scaffolding canopy tower. A bannistered staircase running through the middle provides safe access to the platforms above. From atop you obtain spectacular views of the vast expanses of standing forest cut by the Tambopata River winding through the middle. Now and then toucans, parrots or macaws are seen flying against the horizon, or mixed species canopy flocks land in the treetop next to you. B, L, D
Posada Amazonas
Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake is 30 minutes journey by boat and 45 minutes hiking from Posada Amazonas. You will paddle around the lake in a catamaran, searching for the resident family of nine giant river otters (seen by 60% of lake visitors) and other lakeside wildlife such as caiman, hoatzin and horned screamers. Six-and-a-half hours by boat from Posada Amazonas, in the pristine heart of the reserve, lies the Tambopata Research Center. Sometime into your boat journey, as you cross the confluence with the Malinowski River, you will leave the final traces of human habitation behind. Within the 700,000 hectare uninhabited nucleus of the reserve, sightings of capybara, caiman, geese, macaws and other large species will become more frequent. Boxed lunch served en route.
Upon arrival, the lodge manager will welcome you and brief you with important navigation and security tips. Following orientation, enjoy a three-to-five-kilometer hike discover magnificent views of the Tambopata winding its way into the lowlands. The forest on this trail, regenerating on old bamboo forest, is good for spotting howler monkey and dusky titi monkey. After dinner, scientists will provide an in depth look at the biology of macaws, their feeding habits, the theories for clay lick use, their breeding and feeding ecology, population fluctuations and the threats to their conservation. B, L, D
Tambopata Research Center
On most clear mornings of the year dozens of large macaws and hundreds of parrots congregate on this large river bank in a raucous and colorful spectacle which inspired a National Geographic cover story. Discretely located 50 meters from the cliff, you will observe green-winged, scarlet and blue-and-gold macaws and several species of smaller parrots descend to ingest clay. Outings are at dawn when the lick is most active. Return to the lodge for breakfast.
Later this morning, discover the Floodplain Trail, a five-kilometer trail covering the prototypical rain forest with immense trees crisscrossed by creeks and ponds. Amongst the figs, ceibas and shihuahuacos you will look for squirrel, brown capuchin, and spider monkeys as well as peccaries. Return to the lodge for lunch. This afternoon, travel 10 minutes upriver from the lodge to a tiny pond with a platform in the middle. It is a great place to spot waterfowl such as Muscovy duck, sunbittern and hoatzin along with the woodpeckers, oropendolas, flycatchers and parakeets that call this pond their home. Return to the lodge for dinner. You will have the option of hiking at night after dinner, when most of the mammals are active, but rarely seen. B, L, D
Tambopata Research Center
After your second visit to the macaw clay lick at dawn, you have breakfast before embarking on a hike on the Terre Firme Trail. An entirely different habitat characterized by smaller, thinner trees atop hills and slopes is covered by this five-kilometer trail. Saddleback tamarins are frequently found here. As you walk near the limits of the swamp, you will also keep your eyes open for rare tapir tracks.
You return to Tambopata for lunch and then embark on a hike to the palm swamp, a nesting colony and preferred roost for Blue and Gold and Red-bellied Macaws. Nesting season is generally from October to March, but there are varying degrees of macaw activity year round. An elevated boardwalk and scaffolding tower allow for eye level observation of the macaws as they fly in and out of their nests. After an afternoon with the macaws, you hike back to the lodge for dinner. B, L, D
Tambopata Research Center
Embark on a Palm Swamp Trail hike after breakfast. Growing on the remains of an oxbow lake and providing both arboreal, as well as terrestrial mammals with fruits throughout the year, the aguaje palms are one of the most important food sources in the rainforest. Demand for these fruits and great conditions for planting rice, makes the palm swamp also one of the most threatened habitats.
After lunch, discover the Creeks Trail. This is a different kind of Terra Firme forest, crossed by a number of creeks that will eventually reach the Tambopata River. Walking in the opposite direction of the river, you will focus on forest and creek ecology. After dinner, you will have the option of going on a night hike where you may see and hear fascinating nocturnal wildlife. B, L, D
Tambopata Research Center
Enjoy breakfast at the lodge before transferring to the boat to begin your five-hour boat ride back to Posada Amazonas. Boxed lunch served en route. You will go on an Ethnobotanical Tour, a 20-minute boat drive downriver leads you to a trail designed by the staff of the Centro Ñape. The Centro Ñape is a communal organization that produces medicines out of forest plants and administers them to patients who choose their little clinic. They have produced a trail which explains the different medicinal (and other) uses of selected plants. Dinner at Posada Amazonas. Tonight, enjoy ecotourism lectures prepared by staff on the Infierno ecotourism project. B, L, D

Ex-Canuck Peter Schaefer invited to Camp
Kent Wilson
September 13 2010 03:36PM
According to Ben Kuzma, Peter Schaefer has been invited to take part in the Canucks training camp. The former Canuck/Senator/Bruin was bought out by Boston a year ago after spending a season in the AHL with Boston's affiliate club, the Providence Bruins. He managed just 7 goals and 26 points in 47 games played that year.
A veteran of 556 NHL games, the 33 year old scored 20 goals once for the Senators back in 2005-06. He was mostly a checking option throughout a majority of his time in the league however, speed being his primary strength if memory serves.
Schaefer was originally drafted by the Canucks in the third round of the '95 entry draft. He played his first three NHL seasons in Vancouver, collecting 36 goals and 75 points in 178 games. At 33 years old, Schaefer is unlikely to be anything more than AHL/NHL depth at this point in his career, although it's possible the club wants him around in order to fill out some space on the wing while Alex Burrows recovers from shoulder surgery.
Agreed. Sounds like he might be a PK specialist in Manitoba, and teach the kids to PK. Maybe he wants to learn how to coach? Mike Keane played a similar role in Manitoba, and I keep wondering if he'll show up as a coach somewhere.
They're bringing him back to play with the twins. So they can all turn their backs to the ice and play cycle. :)
Doubt he makes the team. Scatchard last year, Schaefer this year. Maybe Ron Stern makes an appearance next year!!

Love these shoes
"I would have bought another pair if there were additional colors. I wear these often and with a variety of styles. My foot runs a bit wide so normally I can't wear a sling back. Since this one is an elastic back sling back; it fits great."

After giving up on TVs in Australia Philips is now planning to put see through solar panels in cars that also deliver a light source.
Philips, who are partnering with chemical giant BASF, is set to show off new solar-powered OLED panels that illuminate the vehicle interior when the door is opened or a button pressed.
When switched off they allow for a clear view outside which may be a problem in Australia where we get more warm weather and bright sunshine than Europe where the technology was developed. Dr. Dietrich Bertram, General Manager of OLED Lighting at Philips, added:'This project provides impressive evidence of new possibilities with OLEDs and illustrates the potential of Philips' Lumiblade OLED technology to help create innovative lighting applications that enhance people's lives".
Philips recently invested in a new OLED production line, which the company claims could bring the cost of panels to as low as $15 a panel.
The new screen sandwiches hi-tech materials to let the OLED panels work as a light when the car is dark - and charge themselves using solar cells sandwiched into the glass.
According to a combined press release 'This combination allows the driver to enjoy a unique open-space feeling while it generates electricity during the day and pleasantly suffuses the interior with the warm light of the transparent, highly efficient OLEDs at night," said Dr. Felix Görth, head of OLED at BASF.
BASF have collaborated with Philips for five years on the panels, which work as lights, solar chargers and windows.

A chat with Jeff Petry
Jason Strudwick
December 05 2012 04:25PM
I believe Petry is and will be a big part of this Oiler defense moving forward. With his ability to skate, move the puck and be good defensively he is a minute-eater. Every team needs these types of guys. He is good on both the power play and penalty kill.
He has not reached the ceiling for his development and Oilers fans should be very happy of that.
Petry joined me on the Jason Strudwick show last week and this is what he had to say.
How are you spending your time during the lockout? There is more time than I have had before that is for sure. I recently went home for two weeks; first time in a while I got to be home for American Thanksgiving and be with my parents. Outside of that I have been treating it like the offseason. I have been working out and continuing to skate a lot. I really want to stay in shape, we don't know when we will be called back to work. It could be two days from now or two weeks.
With no exact starting point to prepare for is it harder mentally or physically to stay ready? I think it is a combination of both. In the summer you have a date set in your mind as to when you need to be ready. You got your workout plans laid out. Right now I have a plan but it is easier to get off schedule then it is in the summer. I always want to skate as much as possible but it is harder to find ice time.
You are from Michigan, is hockey a popular sport there? It is growing. It has definitely gotten bigger over the years. From when I started to now there is a lot more of it.
Are you the most unique player in the NHL in that your father, Dan Petry, played in the MLB? I am not 100% but I have been told that I am the only guy like that in the league.
How did you get into hockey considering with your dad playing baseball, that sport must have had a huge impact in your household? Baseball was the number one sport in our house growing up. My parents are both from California and moved to Michigan when my dad was playing for the Tigers. With hockey and baseball going in opposite seasons they got us playing both to keep us busy.
How did playing in the AHL help your game? It helped me a great deal. I was disappointed my first camp to get sent down to start the year. The coaching staff allowed me to develop by playing a lot of minutes. I was able to adjust to the professional lifestyle and the travel. It was definitely beneficial for me.
Have you had a chance to talk with Justin Schultz about the differences between college and professional hockey? I came to Edmonton only a few days before all the guys went down to the AHL so I didn't get a lot of time with Justin. I did skate with him and he is a very talented player. That is obvious with the success he has had so far. He has and will transition well into the pro game.
Did you ever consider playing major junior hockey in Canada? Yes it did cross my mind. I played two years in the USHL. After my first year I had few teams come to me with some interest. But at that point I still had to mature physically and a lot of work to do on my game. Major Junior would have only given me two years to develop whereas college gave me four. The college route made sense.
I remember your first training camp, you did well but since then you have continued to improve. I don't think you are near your ceiling yet but can you talk about your development so far in your young career. There is always room to grow. My first two years I am happy with the steps I took but still plenty of areas I want to work on. It is a matter of listening to the coaches' advice and putting their suggestions into my game. I wanted together stronger so I worked on that this summer to put on size without losing quickness.
Where do you think you fit in with the Oilers moving forward? This team has a lot of young talent, that's obvious night in and night out. I am not as young as some of the guys but I do have room to grow. I want to be a part of this team and see this team grow well past the rebuild stage.
What is it like playing with Ladi Smid and are you able to talk without him interrupting you? Ha! Yeah, he lets me squeeze in a few words! We do communicate very well on the ice. Before games we clarify our game plan. I am little more offensive and he is more physical; it is a good combination. He gives me the ability to jump up in the play. It is great to work with each other and off each other's strengths.
What's it like playing against the other teams' top lines? I have to be ready both mentally and physically. Those top guys have so much skill. You can't be in awe of their moves or reputations. You can't take a shift off or think too much; that is when you will get burned. That is what they want to do.
Did you do a lot of power skating growing up? I did some growing up, but I still work on it. In the summers I worked with a guy while I was in college three days a week.
You lived with Ryan Jones last year. Did his love of hunting rub off on you? Yes it did. I actually bought a bow last year and we have been out hunting a lot this year!
December 05 2012, 04:41PM
It seems very strange that there is no question about why he is not playing during the lockout. That would have been my first and only question.
December 05 2012, 05:43PM
Fair question but at this point in time I am hoping the NHL gets going on that will be in the rear view mirror!
I think we all are!
But MM had the same thought I did... With so many people playing in other leagues to stay fresh (or simply make $$$, or both)... it's worth asking those who opt out why? and what their plan is...
At this point, you can't really say you expected the negotiations to go somewhere... seems a bit naive
December 05 2012, 05:54PM
With all due respect, perhaps it is time to decide if you are going to be a reporter or a softball pitcher?
December 05 2012, 06:15PM
Was that the entire conversation? It took a minute to read! How fast was the conversation?!
Give JS a break... There's two possible answers to the question: Petry says he doesn't want to play in Europe or he says Europe wasn't interested in another D man with no commitment to playing out the season. The important question was asked: what are you doing to make sure your ready to go once this money BS ends?
Holy crap you guys. It's only an interview with Petry!!, not the freakin pope! Chill out and read what was said. It's only info not a novel!

MM's second comment is over-the-top, but the rest seem fair game to me.
I agree with you completely here, btw... I just think an important sub-question to this question:
"The important question was asked: what are you doing to make sure your ready to go once this money BS ends?"
is.... why doesn't making sure you are ready include finding somewhere to play hockey?
I think that is a reasonable, non-gotcha, or whatever, question.

@Jason Strudwick
Wow Studs, very diplomatic. Something tells Mumbai Max's mom didn't make his breakfast quite perfectly this morning and forgot to iron his ginch. Grow a pair and stop being so negative dummy!
December 06 2012, 07:06AM
Don't let em grind ya down Strudsy. I thought it was a good interview. Maybe throw a few chirps in next time? Love your show.
Nice work. I think there's a bit different of a dynamic with ex players doing the interview.
Any chance you could line up Peckham next? Would love to hear why he lasted all of about a week in the ECHL.
December 06 2012, 08:22AM
Thanks for posting the interview Jason! I appreciate reading this type of stuff to help get thru the lulls in the work day. Petry is a favourite of mine. Keep up the good work!
December 06 2012, 10:05AM
@Jason Strudwick
It was not meant as a cheap shot. I think it is normal, fresh from being on the other side, to take it easy on the players.
I appreciate you doing the article. My point was that there was one obvious question, and thousands of potential and less important questions. By not asking the obvious/tough one, you lose credibility as someone who WILL ask the tough questions. I could draw a lot of analogies to playing, but I think I have made my point.
You have the credibility (with the players), and the personality to get away with asking tough questions. You punched above your weight as a player, I am hoping you can develop into the same kind of journalist.
Best wishes.
December 06 2012, 11:11AM
Hey Struds,
You have a great show and I like this toned down interview compared the the obvious "why aren't you playing" interviews.
You're always able to give a great view from the players side of things so keep it up. You don't need to be the tough question reporter, your style is refreshing and down to earth. Keep up the awesome work, my cousin said you were the nicest Oiler he met at your road Christmas road hockey games and it shows.
Keep on keepin' on
Solid interview Struds. Love your show and absolutely LOVE Fridays at 2pm with you and Gregor. Every friday you and Gregor broadcast the best sports radio show in the country. Keep up the good work! Better than Wilbon and Kornheiser even, IMHO.
I honestly don't care about why Petry isn't playing -- either he doesn't want to or he is hoping for the season to come around. What else kind response would you expect?
It's like what Cabbie Richards has mentioned in the past about asking the same 5 boring questions -- doesn't exactly give you more viewers.
Jason doesn't have to ask those type of questions to be that kind of "reporter" to be considered "credible". He has his own style and niche that he is trying establish.
Love the show Studs, can't wait for the segments when the league is back!
hmmmm, so tempting to jump on the heckling train. The interview was a nice work distraction, but the softball comment was funny, so tough.
Okay how about this: you call your show the Jason Strudwick Show? Couldn't come up with something a little more creative huh? What are you a photographer? (you know, cause they always name their companies after themselves).
Perhaps you should do a Nation contest to help think up a clever name for your show. I will kick things off with "Rec League". That way when haters call or chime in, you can say, "welcome to Rec League, you're on the air with Jason Strudwick, do you have an incredibly easy to answer question for my guest?"
And then guests can say, "Ya this is Tony from Fort Saskatchewan, my question is, do you like being a professional athlete? Yes or no, please don't elaborate in any way."
I do have a more serious request, any chance of getting a Kruger interview. He said a lot of stuff at the beginning of summer that was really interesting. Stuff like bringing back Belangier's game, and utilizing Eager and Hordichuck more. I'm also wondering how he plans on using Yak. Will he be tried out in different combos, or does he have a solid pairing in mind?

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: Secretly Married?
Slip of the tongue or simply getting ahead of herself?
Miley Cyrus has been engaged to Liam Hemsworth since May of last year, but in a recent interview, the bride-to-be refers to herself as already wed.
"I'm happy I don't have to date anyone," she said for the new issue of Cosmopolitan. "I was like, 'I'm so happy I'm married, because you guys are cruel!' "
A rep for Hemsworth, however, confirms to PEOPLE that the couple are "definitely NOT married."
Asked in the magazine interview about the sort of wedding she'd have, Cyrus said, "I can't even get coffee without a million paparazzi following me, so I don't know why anyone thinks I'm going to have this huge, extravagant wedding. That is so not who I am."
The magazine reference is the second hint in as many months that Cyrus, 20, and Hemsworth, 23, may have secretly gotten hitched. The pop star Tweeted photos at Christmas in which both she and her man are sporting rings on their left ring fingers. The photos no longer appear on Cyrus's Twitter.
Cyrus's rep has not returned requests for comment.

If you fail to attend a class in which you are officially enrolled and do not drop the class, you may receive a failing grade. If withdrawal from a full-term course occurs within the first two weeks of the semester, no grade will be recorded on your permanent academic record. If you withdraw from a full-term course between the third week of instruction through the end of the tenth week of instruction, you will receive a grade of "W" on your permanent record. You may not drop or withdraw from classes after the end of the tenth week of instruction. Be sure to check the "Important Dates" in the class schedule or in your student portal - MyGCC. Deadlines vary for short term classes.
4. How do I keep track of the different deadlines?
Refer to the "Important Dates" page of the curent schedule of classes or log into your MyGCC student portal. In MyGCC, click on the "time clock" next to each class listed in your class schedule.
5. What do I do when the class I want to take is closed?
If the class is closed and if there is space on the waiting list, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAIT LIST. During the registration period, IF other students drop, students on the waiting list will be automatically moved into the class in the order they were placed on the wait list. If you have elected to be placed on a wait list, it is your responsibility to monitor your enrollment into the class. If you get enrolled in the class, you will be charged the fee for this class. The college strictly adheres to all deadlines and dates.
6. How do I find out about the Attendance and Drop Policy of my classes?
You are expected to attend all class meetings. It is your responsibility to know the attendance and absence policy of each class in which you are enrolled. It is the responsibility of each instructor to inform his or her class of the attendance and absence policies at the beginning of each semester. You may be dropped from a class for failure to attend all class meetings in the first week of instruction if you have not made prior arrangements with your instructor.
7. What is the maximum number of units I can take?
The college policy for the maximum number of units per semester is 19. The maximum number of units per winter or summer session is 8. Students wishing to take more than 19 units during a semester or more than 8 units during a winter or summer session must obtain approval from the Director of Admissions & Records by submitting a Unit Overload form.
8. How many units must I take to be considered a full-time student?
If you enrolled in 12 or more units you are considered a full-time student. (During the summer and winter sessions, if you are enrolled in 4 or more units, you are considered a full-time student).
9. How do I calculate my Grade Point Average?
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the total grade points attempted.
Better Than Average
Passing, Less than Satisfactory
No credit
Divide the total grade points earned by the total number of units attempted.
34 divided by 10= 3.40 GPA
10. What are Pass/No Pass Courses?
There are two kinds of P/NP courses. The first category consists of classes that are only offered on a P/NP basis. These courses are listed in the college catalog and noted in the class schedule.
The second category consists of courses which you may choose to take on a P/NP basis. To do so, you must use the "Petition to Take a Class for Pass/No Pass" and submit it to the Office of Admissions and Records by the Friday of the third week of instruction for a semester-length class or the Tuesday of the second week of instruction for all other classes. If you elect to take classes on a P/NP basis, you must participate in the class as a regular student. If the grade awarded by the instructor is a C or higher, the grade is recorded as a P. If the instructor assigns a grade of D or F, the grade is recorded as NP.
11. What does it mean to be a student "in good standing"?
A student whose records shows a minimum 2.0 GPA and is making satisfactory progress is considered to be "in good standing".
12. Do I have to repeat a class in which I received a D or F grade?
It is to the student's benefit to repeat a class in which he/she received a grade of D or F in order to raise the GPA. In order to satisfy major requirements, and General Education Requirements for CSU Breadth and IGETC, the student must have a minimum of "C" grade in all courses.
If you received a grade of D or F in a course, you may enroll in the course again. After you successfully complete the course, you should fill out the "Request to Count the Higher Grade" and submit it to the Office of Admissions and Records so the original grade of D or F will not be calculated in your grade-point average.
13. How may I contribute to the College and be part of student activities?
By getting involved in student government and activities, you can contribute your suggestions, efforts and energy to support current programs and improvements for the betterment of students and the College. Student activities can enrich your college experience. The Associated Students of Glendale Community College (ASGCC) is the official student government organization.

Deke: Goal of Black & Gold defense ? limit big plays
by Deke Bellavia
posted May 24 2012 5:00PM
by Deke Bellavia - firstname.lastname@example.com
When it comes to the New Orleans Saints people think offense first, and everything else second. But, if the Saints are to get back to the Super Bowl this season, the Black and Gold defense will have to tighten up , especially when it comes to giving up big plays.
''Defensively, we gave up more last year than we ever have at 99," said Assistant Head Coach Joe Vitt. "The big plays on offense, we would like to keep that number exactly where it is. We have to get that number on defense down to about 75.''
Vitt spoke to us following the team's OTA's on Airline Drive today.
So how will the Saints be able to get those numbers more in their favor defensively this season? ''Just a little bit more zone defense and not selling the farm is going to give you an opportunity to keep those big balls off your back,'' Vitt said.
Key additions to the Saints defense this season are expected to come in and make an impact right away. The first major addition was made when Coach Sean Payton hired Steve Spagnuolo as the Black and Gold's Defensive Coordinator.
The Saints were also able to land free agent linebackers Curtis Lofton, David Hawthorne and Chris Chamberlain, and picked up fee agent DT Brodrick Bunkley to help aid a D-line that needs some upgrading.
Coach Vitt likes what he sees in his new DT so far. ''We are really happy so far with Bunkley. This is a very serious man who is serious about his craft and his trade. He comes to work every day and wants to get better.''
Although he did not have a good season in 2011, Coach Joe Vitt says that Sedrick Ellis is a player that the team is counting on very much.
''We haven't lost confidence at all in Sedrick Ellis but healthy competition is always good. There is a lot of competition in that room right now. It is going to be interesting to see how it shakes out.''
The Saints defense had the ''bend but don't break'' mindset last season, and more times than not it worked. With that said, when it counted the most, that formula did not work. But it looks like the goal for the Saints defense this season is consistency in all fronts.
They say that the last game you play is the one that is the freshest in the minds of all. And in their last game the Black and Gold played, the Saints gave up far too many big plays, including a 14-yard TD reception that eventually ended what was potentially looked to be a storybook season!
So what are the initial goal s of Coach Vitt, Steve Pagnuolo and the Black & Gold defense? Covering better, a more consistent pass rush, and getting off the field. Solid objectives and goals the team has to achieve to finish better than last seaon.

Saints Pep Rally
As a fan base, and for those fans that are local, we need to act soon. A statement has to be made directly to Mr. Benson. New Orleans and its fans put on the biggest post Super Bowl celebration that the NFL has ever seen. The Super Bowl party continued during the entire off season. It is time to show Mr. Benson that same kind of spirit, once again. At this point, talk is cheap. Action is now required. I am asking on many forums, for the local Saints fans to prepare for a Saints Pep Rally. About 50,000 fans should send the message. On a given Friday, at 6 pm central time, right as the NFL network is about to air NFL's Total Access, and before the July 16 deadline to sign Drew to a long term contract has come and gone, the 50,000 strong Saints Pep Rally should take place at the Saints training facility. The theme will be simple. PAY DREW BREES! SIGN DREW NOW! Saints fans, we can not put Drew in a position to accept a one year contract, because of the love he has for our city and fan base. We need to back him, now. I want him happy and focused on the upcoming season. I want him to know, that we appreciate what he has done for the region, and simply put, we have his back. To all Saints fans, feel free to post this idea in any forum you desire and begin organizing with your friends to pick a Friday date, soon.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
Digital Video Discs, or DVDs, made their debut in the mid 1990s. Engineered with extremely high storage capacities, DVDs were intended to be the digital replacement for aging video technologies like VHS. The new discs quickly became popular among consumers because of the superior video quality and interactive features, and easily became the de-facto standard for digital video & multimedia.
A decade later, DVDs are still the movie-medium of choice. However, DVD capacity has become a major limitation as many newer, higher-definition movies no longer fit on a standard DVD disc, which holds up to 4.7 gigabytes (GB).
In response to the demands for higher-definition video, the DVD industry has proposed two new DVD standards, which provide much higher storage capacities than traditional DVDs: HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the technology realm about these two standards, and what each proposes. Unfortunately, differentiating between hype and reality isn't easy. Many consumers are more than confused.
Both proposed standards use blue lasers to read or write, which offer a higher-wavelength than traditional DVDs, which use red lasers. This means that that information can be packed on the disc at a higher density - ultimately leading to greater storage capacities. Unfortunately, the industry won't stick to one standard, which could lead to major problems for consumers in the next few years.
Technology companies Toshiba, Sanyo, NEC, Microsoft, Intel, multimedia companies HBO, New Line Cinema, Paramount Home Entertainment, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video stand in favor of HD-DVD, which provides estimated storage capacities of about 15 to 30 gigabytes (GB). The proponents of HD-DVD say that HD-DVD discs will be cheaper to produce than the Blu-ray counterparts, and that HD-DVD is more compatible with traditional DVDs.
Technology companies Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Pioneer, LG Electronics, Dell, HP, Apple Computer, gaming software company Electronic Arts, and multimedia companies Twentieth Century Fox, Vivendi Universal and Walt Disney are supporting the Blu-ray standard, which provides estimated storage capacities of 25 to 50 gigabytes (GB). Proponents of Blu-ray tout higher capacites and claim that Blu-ray is also backwards-compatible with traditional DVDs. They also claim Blu-ray related prices will be reasonable once the technology hits the mainstream market.
Many have inquired why both standards cannot be embraced. Because both standards are so different, designing equipment (like a player) that can handle both standards is technically and economically unfeasible. As a result, video stores would have to ensure movies were available in both formats. Moreover, consumers would be confused as to whether a particular disc is compatible with their player. A lack of a single standard also could mean hefty prices for players/writers and discs alike.
Many experts in the industry say the situation is very similar to the old VHS versus Betamax debate, where the format wars waged on for many years.
Until a victor emerges, consumers ultimately stand to lose. For the time being, most consumers should be reluctant to openly accept either standard. In the mean time, it's probably wiser to stick with traditional DVDs if possible.

Skip to comments.How to un-elect Obama & let House of Reps pick the President (I need to believe this)
Posted on 11/17/2012 12:41:56 PM PST by Jo Nuvark
According to Article II of the U.S. Constitution AND the 12th Amendment - if 1/3rd of the States do not cast their votes in the Electoral College -- then the matter falls onto the House of Representatives to choose the President. In other words -- if we pressure Congressmen, State Party Officials, and groups such as Tea Party Patriots, Heritage Foundation, etc., to call on RED States to NOT have their Electors cast their vote -- then the House of Reps CAN ...
(Excerpt) Read more at lakecharlesteaparty.ning.com ...
yeah this should have happened the first time the noncitizen was "elected"
This approach relies on the makeup of each state's house delegation voting a straight party-line.
In the next Congress, what is the count of the states which have a majority of Congresspersons on one side or another?
With all 50 states petitioning for secession, could this happen if we MAKE THE CALLS ... PING???
Worth a try if nothing but to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth
Don't give the Dems any ideas for the next Presidential Election ,Oh wait, sorry ,2012 was the last Presidential Election
Um, no.
Well, let's do it.
People, Article II and the 12th Amendment say no such thing. Read them. Carefully.
Why not? At the least it will drive MSM into hysterics. Barack Obama brings to mind "THe King has no clothes." He is in incompetent nerd, yet MSM keeps saying he is "cool." His gaffes are covered-up or minimized while anyone who might be running against him is trashed, lied about, and ridiculed.
If we had a free press who looked to investigate and let the light of truth shine Obama would soon be making his resignation over the Benghazi cover up. Nixon was hounded out of office by the press for the Watergate cover up which is a mere trifle in comparison to Benghazi. Sadly our press has become little more than willing tools of the White House Ministry of Propaganda. I think the US media is more under government control than the German press was in 1933 when Hitler was swept into power.
And you should not give over something to the government that you would not be completely comfortable seeing in the hands of your worst enemy.
It is sad that your comment is the first to mention that.
I think they got confused by the "2/3rds quorum" needed in the house for the case where nobody gets a majority of electoral votes.
But maybe they were just making things up.
If this were a real option, wouldn't it have happened in the election of 1860?
Col West has opened the door.
We must fight election fraud.
It falls on We the People.

What you can do:
These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it wont do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan:
Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. (See contact information below. Please provide others in COMMENTS.)
Send them the press clippings, or personal testimonials of clear vote fraud witnessed. (Statistical aberrations are helpful too like a historical 50% turnout in 2004, 2008 but a 90% turnout in a specific precinct despite an overall LOWER state turnout.)
Demand a public recount AND investigation, with a commitment to fight to replace THEM in the next election if they do not do so.
Email/Phone/Visit EVERY WEEK if not EVERY DAY. This will take weeks of steady pressure to get them to move.
Get your friends and neighbors to do the same.
Contact the OTHER 4 states to do the same as above.
Contact the Governor and the local GOP office with the SAME pressure.
(List of web contacts for each below)
If you are in those states (or know people who are) start attempting to find OTHERS with evidence of fraud. See if you can identify the precinct judges where the statistical aberations occur to pass along to the True the Vote which is set up to sue these entities with Judicial Watch.
Try to visit (or call) your local representative asking for their help to put pressure on. It doesnt hurt that if they dont or wont you make it your goal to find and fund a challenger to them for allow open and honest elections the fabric of freedom in this country to not only go unchallenged, but to institutionalized.
Contact your city, state and national media to keep this story alive as well. (Fox News has an email just for this at email@example.com)
Help us find, fund or coordinate willing lawyers, statisticians, pollsters and activists.
I can not reiterate enough that if this is NOT CHALLENGED NOW, we will could loose the House of Representatives in 2014 and possibly every election forward to massive voter fraud. Imagine Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi reenacting the first two years of Obamas reign with more Stimulus, Cash for Cars, Solyndras and ObamaCares.
This fight can not be put off for another election cycle or another day. Or there will no longer be a constitutional America. Put down your foot and make the declaration, THIS VOTE FRAUD WILL NOT STAND!

Still, Romney was a loser.
Sorry to disappoint - BUT that is NOT what Article II OR the 12th Amendment say. The ONLY way for the election to get to the House of Representatives is IF no one gets a majority of the whole number of electors appointed.
If ALL electors were appointed by ALL states, then it would HAVE to end up in a tie [269-269, if only 2 candidates with electoral pledges] in order to get to the House of Representatives. If more than 2 candidates with electoral pledges, then it goes to the House of Representatives ONLY if no candidate gets a MAJORITY of the electoral votes allocated.
If some states refuse to seat their electors - the same applies as in the above paragraph. ONLY with LESS electors that were appointed ...
Article II, Section I states:
The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two-thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice.
This Section was superceded by the 12th Amendment, which states:
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.
The ONLY difference in the wording is that Article II, Section I states that the House of Representatives picks from a list of 5 and the 12th Amendment states that the list is 3.
I wish that the person who wrote the article that is the subject of this thread would ACTUALLY READ the Constitution ...
Xjcsa is right....I just read them carefully, and its not true. Sorry folks...thhe two thirds being present requirement only applies to congress deciding the president if the electoral vote was a tie, or split with no maajority.
Is there any particular reason you keep posting this over and over and over? After seeing it for what has to be the 300th time it gets rather annoying.
Try posting something different. It's fun! It's exciting! It's NOT ANNOYING.
Thank you.
He lost because of massive voter fraud by the Obama machine.
;--the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.
end snip
Do you honestly think that the states that Obama won want come forward and vote putting him over the 270 Electoral College Votes necessary to win? Hell all of Romney's 206 Electoral Votes could abstain and it wouldn't keep Obama from getting his 270.
Don't believe everything those people in SW Louisiana write about.
This would start a race war. No further comment. LOL
Now that doesn't mean Democrats didn't commit vote fraud ~ but they dropped 6.5 million votes from their total in 2008!
I would hope the Republicans had their agents out there as well, and if so, a little more work on their part Obama might well have lost.
Here's a clue for you, next time send us a Republican to vote for.
Not that it is relevant this year, but if an election goes to the House it is settled not by vote of the Reps but by vote of state delegations.
I recently looked into this, and the GOP have a majority in about 2/3 of the delegations.
Not fair to say that.. You try and go against a media that is an operative of the regime and constantly disparaging you while hyping their boss and covering-up his failures.
Concerning 'FAIRNESS' ~ I am always fair ~ dude lost because he's a loser!
[... This would start a race war ...]
Too late... Sharpton, Farakhan and Obama handled that one already.
You have to believe this?
Bohner is busy surrendering to Obama on taxes and immigration.
How about someone with some integrity in DC (hmmmm,is there anyone) says "Hey, Barry Soetoro Hussein Barack Obama had a parent who was not a US Citizen. Do we all know what that means? He is not eligible to run for president let alone serve as one. So you're out Barry! Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
No that would be to honest and easy.
Instead we'll get 4 more years of hell.
Agree. Massive individual fraud and even more by vote machine tampering of numbers.
So let's say a third of the states actually do this, then it's up to the GOP controlled House, right?
Does anyone really believe those spineless people born of unwed mothers would even consider electing anyone other than obama?
I believe the next in line after President and VP is the Speaker Of The House, so let's assume they elect Boehner. Another Bush RINO that has already declared obamacare law of the land. This poor excuse of a representative of freedom would be worse than Romney.
Clause 3: Electors
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse [sic] by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse [sic] the President. But in chusing [sic] the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse [sic] from them by Ballot the Vice President.
(Note: This procedure was changed by the Twelfth Amendment in 1804.)
In modern practice, each state chooses its electors in popular elections. Once chosen, the electors meet in their respective states to cast ballots for the President and Vice President. Originally, each elector cast two votes for President; at least one of the individuals voted for had to be from a state different from the elector's. The individual with the majority of votes became President, and the runner-up became Vice President. In case of a tie, the House of Representatives could choose one of the tied candidates; if no person received a majority, then the House could again choose one of the five with the greatest number of votes. When the House voted, each state delegation cast one vote, and the vote of a majority of states was necessary to choose a President. If second-place candidates were tied, then the Senate broke the tie. A quorum of two-thirds applied in both Houses: at least one member from each of two-thirds of the states in the House of Representatives, and at least two-thirds of the Senators in the Senate. This procedure was followed in 1801 after the electoral vote produced a tie, and nearly resulted in a deadlock in the House.
The Twelfth Amendment introduced a number of important changes to the procedure. Now, Electors do not cast two votes for President; rather, they cast one vote for President and another for Vice President. In case no Presidential candidate receives a majority, the House chooses from the top three (not five, as with Vice Presidential candidates). The Amendment also requires the Senate to choose the Vice President from those with the two highest figures if no Vice Presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes (rather than only if there's a tie for second for President). It also stipulates that to be the Vice President, a person must be qualified to be the President.
Don't count on it.
With crybaby Boehner as the Speaker and too many weak-spined pantywaists afraid of being called "RAYYYYYYYYCIST!!!!" it'll never happen.
If we had Men in the House - that is, people with spines and Patriot hearts, yes. As it stands though...I'd sooner bet on Gilligan and the Professor finally figuring out how to patch a hole in a boat and getting off the island.
No, if there is an electoral college tie, then the House of Representatives votes, in which case a 2/3's quorum is needed. Since there is unlikely to be a tie in the electoral college vote in December, this doesn't apply. If elected Electoral College voters don't show up to vote, that is a violation of Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 and the Courts could order them to show up to vote.
So as attractive as the thought is to be able to avoid another 4 years of Obama, this reading of Article II, Section I, Clauses 2 & 3 is thoroughly flawed. The authors analysis is plain wrong.
The 12th amendment does supersede the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 but the point is still the same... the 2/3 quorum only applies to the electing of the President if there were an electoral tie. This purpose is to make sure Congress is duly represented before the vote can take place if this were to occur, again, since there is unlikely to be an electoral tie when those votes are cast in December, this tactic does not apply at all. Even if there were a tie though, the 2/3 quorum, again, is to make Congress wait until enough people are present to vote, not a tool that could be used to avoid a vote. The electors could simply be ordered by the courts to complete their Constitutionally mandated duty to cast their vote, as specified in II, 1, 2.
4 years ago they all knew soetoro is not elig and they could have stopped him from running for the presidency but they didn't. When soetoro was 'elected' illegally, they could have stopped him by objecting during the electoral vote count certification, but they didn't.
States were silent on this issue as well back in 2008.
Now they all (including the conservative 'leaders' and tea party leaders) let him run again, deluding themselves that they will win election over usurper obozo and gang's rampant voter fraud
Whom can we blame?
If they didn't do it 2 elections ago there is not a chance in hell they will do anything now, state officials or congress.
We probably have to be dragged to rock bottom with them, then maybe they will be mad enough, wake up and throw them all out!
This is the aching result of allowing anyone not a land owner to vote, and anyone but a proven christian to run for elective office. Our founding fathers knew what they were doing. But spoiled andadolescent America is in full glandular revolt! Tragic, but true.
Yes, they all know he's ineligible and they were too weak to say so in 2008. They figured he'd never get re-elected and they were wrong. The TEA Party turnout for 2010 so scared the dems that they ramped up the fraud for 2012 and they stole the election. They'll get away with that too. "They don't call them The Stupid Party for nothing" still holds true. The dems are emboldened to rig vote machines from here on out.
It appears that Col.West is the only real man left in politics who will contest vote fraud.
I mean how hard is it to point out that Barky is not a natural born citizen? He says so in his own voice on his audio book when he talks about his Kenyan father. Who gives a rat's patoot about where he was born(that's just icing on the cake) when Barky himself proclaims far and wide that his dad was a foreigner?
Surely if InterWeb chat rooms (ducks to avoid thrown fruit) know he's ineligible (for several reasons) those overpaid crooks in DC know he's a usurper. But no! Not a one of them wants to risk being called the R word "racist". They're all as gutless as cry baby Boehner.
We've been researching Zero's ineligibility for 5 years on FR. He's ineligible and that's that.
Republicans will control 27 of the 50 delegations in the next Congress.

The GR2 BioKork Grip is just like the GP1 BioKork except that it is terminated by a three finger composite bar end. The bar end offers up an additional hand position and more leverage for climbing out of the saddle. Instead of solid rubber, this grip uses natural cork, harvested from certified sustainable trees in Portugal for 40% of the cover. In addition, it also uses grass fiber for 40% of the grip core and vegetable oils instead of mineral oil in the gel palm insert. The benefits of cork's natural low density are a lightweight and comfortable grip
Ergon's patented wing-shaped grips support your hand and wrist in a way that relieves pressure on the Median and Ulnar nerves -- pressure that causes numbness, tingling, or pain. The shape of the GR2 BioKork Grip is a replica of Ergon's bestselling GP1 grip, and it's a great starting point for an exploration of Ergon's wares. By comparison, the GP1 shape is a bit more forgiving than the race-oriented GX1. So those looking for the most comfort, look no further. Each grip is held in place by a built-in clamp assembly on the bar end and set by a 4mm hex key. The angles of the grips and the bar ends can be adjusted separately, and when both are oriented to your preference, the clamp hardware should not be tightened in excess of 5nm.
The Ergon GR2 BioKork Grip comes in two sizes -- Small and Large. The size does not refer to the length but the thickness of the grip. The people at Ergon tell us that macho types assume they should have large unless otherwise indicated, so consider this a warning. Ergon has found that most people, except those who have huge mitts, go with the small. The smaller diameter is lighter, a bit stiffer, and easy to grab. Those with big hands and those who spend long, long days in the saddle might want to lean towards large.
The GR2 BioKork Grips are 54mm at their widest point (measured front to back) and are 132mm long. The left and right grips are mirror images of each other. They come with end plugs and mounting instructions.

Please note: when mounting Ergon grips with integrated bar ends to carbon fiber handlebars, it is necessary to confirm that the handlebars are both rated for use with bar ends and are able to accommodate 6-8 NM of clamping force. Most carbon bars are not designed for use with bar ends, which can result in structural failure if applied.
