Line Match-ups: Edmonton vs Phoenix
Jonathan Willis
December 23 2008 06:35PM
I haven't been keeping up with the line match-ups; I have a finite amount of time, and this hobby eats up way too much of it as it is. Still, I thought the game last night was really interesting from a coaching viewpoint, and there were a few things that I could highlight that might otherwise be missed. For starters, let's look at Edmonton's even-strength line-up. The number on the right is the average even-strength ice-time of the line.
Edmonton's Lineup
Penner – Horcoff – Hemsky = 12.2 minutes
Moreau – Pouliot – Cogliano = 11.4 minutes
Strudwick – Brodziak – Stortini = 7 minutes
Reddox – Gagner – Cole = 6.6 minutes
Grebeshkov – Visnovsky = 14.6 minutes
Smid – Staios = 11.5 minutes
Souray – Gilbert = 11.4 minutes
The Match-ups
Horcoff Line: Wayne Gretzky matches lines, just like every other coach in the National Hockey League. The extremely effective and underrated tandem of Sauer and Michalek saw two-thirds of the even-strength ice-time against the Horcoff line; both defencemen have done this sort of work for a number of years. Up front, Hanzal, Winnik and Fedoruk were the go-to guys, with Shane Doan's line being the second choice.
Pouliot Line: The Coyotes coaching staff was much less concerned about these three; all the defensive pairings played against them, with Morris and Jovanovski leading the way. Up front, they saw a fair bit of Shane Doan's line, with Olli Jokinen being the second choice.
Brodziak Line: Unsurprisingly, nearly half of this line's playing time came against Phoenix's bottom pairing. Beyond that, they saw players like Carcillo, Fedoruk and Lisin up front.
Gagner Line: Gretzky showed a surprising amount of respect for this line – although they had some shifts against the Turris line, they also played a fair bit against Michalek/Sauer and the Hanzal line.
Grebeshkov – Visnovsky: Used in offensive situations; I don't know if Charlie Huddy has always done things this way, but this year he seems extremely interested in playing these guys as five-man units. Visnovsky, for example, saw the most ice-time against the Michalek-Sauer pairing, while his distribution against forwards was surprisingly even. This tandem is clearly supposed to get the offense going from their own end.
Smid – Staios: Used in defensive situations; lots of time against Morris and Jovanovski, so Huddy was tossing these guys over the boards in the defensive zone a lot. Again, their ice-time against the forwards is distributed fairly evenly.
Souray – Gilbert: The all-purpose pairing, with the caveat that Huddy refused to waste them against the Coyotes' 4th line. Despite the lack of even-strength ice-time, these guys were used in all situations against Phoenix's top-nine.
- There were a lot of complaints about Craig MacTavish putting his love-child Reddox on the second line, but that is not what happened here. Sam Gagner and Erik Cole saw their even-strength minutes slashed; and given their performance thus far it's been richly deserved. This was the fourth line last night.
- Pouliot, Moreau and Cogliano were getting the sugar minutes last night; it's been Cogliano's gig all season, but Moreau and Pouliot are recent additions. Pouliot's got a track record of scoring going back to his junior days and may be a good fit on this line; the use of Moreau there seems counter-intuitive and I doubt it continues.
- Charlie Huddy seems more interested in situation when he sends out his defencemen than he is in opponent; this makes a good deal of sense given that some defenders will generate offense while others won't. At the same time, it makes the guys deployed defensively look awfully bad and the guys used offensively look awfully good. I'm really not convinced that Staios can handle the role he was used in last night.
December 23 2008, 08:20PM
I would agree with the Staios observation. All i've seen him do all year is bleed goals, blow coverage, make rushed and ill advised decisions with the puck while being beaten up pushed out of the ring in the majority of the puck battles he's in. His time is up, the best is behind him and it began showing last year. I was a firmly believed that he was in the same situation as Jason Smith was and the only difference is he is now playing Jason's Phili-hockey in Edmonton instead of being dealt which is what i was hoping for last season. On paper a safe warrior type D-man with playoff experience could have caught a decent price from a contender and now we're stuck with an aged, over priced faucet. Sorry, Steve; i use to love you but your time as an integral part of our Defense Corp is no more.
December 23 2008, 08:35PM
If/when we make it to the playoffs I would rather see Steve Staios than say Grebs. Staios's value is greater for a team down the stretch. Staios looks like player that is bored/tired of losing and maybe looking for a way out so he can join a true contender. I also would not like to see him go personally but like tyler said he's costing the team with poor decisions.
December 23 2008, 09:01PM
Staios was one of my favorite players during the cup run; I recall one shift where he took a puck to the face but was trapped on the ice for nearly a full minute. A warrior through and through, but at this point I'm not confident he can handle anything other than third-pairing minutes.
And that's a problem, because he's getting paid as a top-4 defenseman.
December 23 2008, 09:44PM
@ Jonathan Willis: Pay check aside, Staios is just not capable of being the 'Shut Down' guy. Oilers need a solid physical force other than Souray on our back end. Staios is too small, too slow and is lacking the intensity he showed in his game when we had Jason Smith here.
If he wants to be accountable and be a leader on the ice his intensity has to improve, but you could say that about 80% of the team right now.
You know what I want to see? I want to see MacT get mad. Really mad. No slick witty comments or eloquent post game prose. Even he seems apathetic. Get mad. Get angry, get this team playing. Get the intensity up.
Fire up the troops MacT.
Sorry to turn this comment into yet another thing about MacT Willis. It just irks me something terrible.
December 23 2008, 10:37PM
Staois just looks too slow for the speed of the new game.
December 23 2008, 10:58PM
A lot of the problem is that Staios has played way too much with Strudwick (43). Here are some even-strength fun numbers:
Staios w/ 43: 5 goals for, 9 goals against Staios w/o 43: 8 goals for, 5 goals against
Staios w/ 43: Corsi -68 Staios w/o 43: Corsi -9
I like Staios as a third-pairing defender; he's physical enough and smart enough to get by, if he isn't saddled with Strudwick. Still, I think his days as a top-four option are probably over.
December 23 2008, 11:00PM
And the credit for getting me thinking about that belongs here. The numbers aren't quite the same because the ones I posted are up to date.
December 23 2008, 11:07PM
I can't imagine a good reason for Cpt. Glass to be taking on the soft parade. HE doesn't have the scoring touch, and his one plus side seems to be his "hard work". Isn't that usually something you look for in a checking or energy line forward?
December 24 2008, 12:12AM
@ Adam Dyck:
What's that line from Armaggedon? "That wasn't a choice, it was a lack of options." That's about the only reason I can come up with for putting Moreau there.
Staios has made a lot of errors right around our net. He still has a reputation around the league, and he is still useful to some extent... his salary is reasonable for a team to absorb, especially if they have a lot of UFA's next year, they might see it as a positive. Guaranteed steady d-man for the next 2 years for a reasonable price... I could be wrong but I really believe there will be GM's that will see things that way.
I think our GM will also see it that way and will elect not to move him. It will be a mistake, as his performance continues to decline and the price remains the same... preventing younger and better options from taking his place.
December 24 2008, 08:23AM

December 24 2008, 10:36AM
If you had your choice of defencemen from the league, who would you replace Staios with???
December 24 2008, 11:29AM
@ Clayton:
Too many choices in that question, I'm afraid. I really think Staios isn't a bad fit with the team; he's just getting paid a little too much for what his role is.
Basically, I'd like to see a slightly cheaper, perhaps more physical, defenseman in his place.

While dreaming of becoming a comic artist, New Jersey artist Jay Lynch noticed that American mainstream comics in the 1960s were dull and on their way back. So Lynch decided to become an underground artist. He published his own comic book, Bijou, which contained work by Skip Williamson, Art Spiegelman, Evert Geradts and Justin Green. But he has also made a considerable amount of comics himself, including famous works like 'Nard 'n' Pat', starring the hip and horny Pat the cat (in The Chicago Seed and later in Bijou, 1967).
He also has contributed to various magazines, such as Cracked and Help!, and other projects (like the Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids for Topps Chewing-gum Company). Jay Lynch is a teacher with the Chicago Art Institute and works as a graphic artist for Topps Chewing-gum Company. In more recent years, he has contributed to several popular comic series, like Topps' 'Zorro' comics and Dark Horse's 'Duckman'.

Archaeological Heritage of Colorado's Ute Tribe Part of National Forests' History in Rocky Mountain Region
There are small piles of fallen wooden timbers on national forests in the Rocky Mountain Region that tell a story of the area's past. They are part of aboriginal wooden structures known as wickiups, a conical-shaped dwelling used by native people.
These relics are known to be part of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of southwestern Colorado and are still in use for ceremonial purposes. The relics are part of the tribe's legacy of living on these lands and are a part of the cultural history on the Grand Mesa – Uncompahgre – Gunnison, San Juan, White River and Rio Grande national forests.

International Law as Law
Frederic Megret
McGill University - Faculty of Law
September 6, 2010
CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO INTERNATIONAL LAW, James Crawford and Martti Koskenniemi, eds., 2010
This draft chapter is an attempt to discuss debates on the character of international law as a legal system. The chapter seeks to identify certain ideal-typical characteristics of international law and sees how those affect the debate on whether international law is "really law." It suggests that international law's distinctivness is that it is a legal system that resists both reform through centralization, absorption by empires, or dissolution through privatization. Note: this is a non-edited version, only the published version is complete and quotable.

As the U.S. moves to open up combat positions to women, it's catching up with other other countries that have been doing it for years.
But the experience in these countries, including Israel, suggests that access to combat jobs doesn't lead directly to equal treatment within the ranks.
In Israel, most men and women perform compulsory military service. The Israel Defense Forces, plays a number of roles that go far beyond just defending the country. It is also a melting pot that allows immigrants and minority groups to join in the same rite of passage.
That's what struck Leora Prince when the New Jersey native visited Israel after high school. She saw lots of young people joined in a common purpose.
"That were completely, selflessly guarding over the country," Prince recalls. "And I wanted to be a part of that."
That explains why this 21-year-old is now serving as a sergeant in the Israel Defense Forces. She immigrated, learned Hebrew, and put on a uniform.
But had she come along before the formation of the Caracal battalion, Prince would not have ended up where she was earlier this year: riding in an SUV along Israel's desert border with Egypt, cradling a Tavor assault rifle in her arms.
Prince started out learning how to be an instructor. But she says she wanted to do something that was truly hands on.
"When I was in basic training for the month, I realized that this isn't enough for me. I wanted to do more, do that guarding, not just teach people how to guard," Prince says. "So I switched to Caracal, and it was the best decision I've ever made."
The Caracal was formed in 2004 with the chief purpose of giving women a chance to serve in a true combat role. It's a co-ed combat battalion, named for a desert cat whose gender can be difficult to discern.
The battalion is 60 percent female and patrols Israel's border with Egypt's Sinai peninsula, a desolate stretch of high desert that's become a hot spot in recent years: In 2011, eight Israelis died in an attack launched from Sinai.
The area is dangerous enough that Israel has decided to build an expensive border fence through the harsh terrain. A big part of the Caracal's job is guarding the construction crews building that fence. Soldiers like Prince put up with clouds of dust, wicked heat and long shifts. Prince says women don't have to carry quite as much gear as men.
But otherwise, they're treated the same, in theory anyway. Prince says in Israel's battle-hardened, male-dominated military, she still gets plenty of razzing.
You don't sign up for work like this if you're put off by teasing. Within the Caracal, Prince says she is taken seriously, and she looks completely at ease as she chats with her male counterparts.
One question that crops up in the discussion about women is whether men will trust female soldiers with their lives. Prince's commander, Capt. Yaron Eyal, says he's gotten over any doubts he had.
"I really, really trust them … to watch my back," he says, relying on Prince to help him find the right English expression.
Israel holds out the Caracal as proof that women can be all that they can be in the military. The Israel Defense Forces say that today, nearly 50 percent of Israel's lieutenants and captains are women.
But the upper echelons are still a male domain. The highest ranking female officer is a major general, who is in charge of personnel. Miri Eisen, a retired colonel who spent 20 years in the Israeli military, says there are clear limits for women.
"We won't have a female chief of staff. The glass ceiling is there for a variety of reasons," Eisen says. "The military is a boys club. I think every military is a boys club. It's still a majority of men who are going to choose that way of life."

Argentina stood on the brink of a remarkable first victory in the Rugby Championship before Australia rallied to prevail 23-19.
Argentina stood on the brink of a remarkable first victory in the Rugby Championship before Australia rallied to prevail 23-19 on Saturday.
The Pumas looked on course for a famous win after two quick-fire tries saw the tournament newcomers lead 19-6 with just over a quarter of the match remaining.
However, the Wallabies showed superb composure and scored 17 unanswered points to hit the front and deny the South Americans who once again proved to be mighty tough opponents.
Ruthless and relentless, the unforgiving Argentineans pounded the shell-shocked Wallabies for 59 minutes before tries by Pat McCabe and Digby Ioane edged them in front.
A late Kurtley Beale penalty gave the hosts some breathing space, before the Wallabies were forced to defend their line in the dying stages to avert what would have been an embarrassing defeat.
The Pumas powered their way to a deserved 6-3 lead at half-time after Argentina pivot Juan Martin Hernandez and Australia centre Berrick Barnes traded penalties in a tense first-half. The Wallabies could've hit the front before the break had number eight Radike Samo not lost the ball when diving over the line.
Barnes made it six apiece from right in front eight minutes into the second-half, but it didn't get any easier for Australia when Tomas Leonardi charged down Quade Cooper's kick for a opportunistic try.
The Pumas looked to have delivered the knock-out blow when two minutes later, replacement Juan Imhoff sprinted along the touchline before passing inside to Julio Faras Cabello for a sensational score and an upset looked on the cards.
Hernandez missed the conversion from far out, leaving the score at 16-6, but made no mistake with a penalty to extend his side's lead to 13 points over the Wallabies.
Australia's reply finally came on the hour when sustained pressure finally broke down the Argentine defence and McCabe charged in from close range.
Barnes struck a simple conversion to make it 13-19 and eight minutes later winger Ioane reduced the deficit to a single point when he latched onto Nick Phipps's pass to score after the scrum-half had broken up the left.
Barnes' conversion made it 20-19 and saw Australia take the lead for the first time in the match with just 10 minutes to go, albeit by a single point. And inside the final minute Beale stretched the lead to four points with a penalty to end Argentine hopes of a dream win and ensure under-pressure coach Robbie Deans will sleep somewhat easier this week.
The win moved the Wallabies (eight points) into second place on the tournament standings – eight points behind New Zealand (16) who have a vice-like grip on the series with just two rounds to play.
Man of the match: Hats off to the entire Pumas team for yet another physical display that would have left the Wallabies battered and bruised. But we thought Julio Faras Cabello made up for his yellow card shown last week against the All Blacks with a strong performance that included a try while his monster hits a real feature in a physical Test that was perfect for him.
Moment of the match: Cabello's try would have had Robbie Deans chewing the last of his finger nails off, but Pat McCabe's score proved to the beginning of the end for the Pumas.
Villain of the match: Yes, McCabe's yellow for a foul play was a fair call. But talk about going from zero to hero…
The scorers:
For Australia:
Tries: McCabe, Ioane
Cons: Barnes 2
Pens: Barnes 2, Beale
For Argentina:
Tries: Leonardi, Cabello
Pens: Hernandez 3
Australia: 15 Berrick Barnes, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Radike Samo, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Nathan Sharpe (capt), 4 Kane Douglas, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Tatafu Polota Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 Stephen Moore/Saia Fainga'a, 17 James Slipper, 18 Scott Higginbotham, 19 Liam Gill, 20 Brett Sheehan, 21 Anthony Fainga'a, 22 Kurtley Beale.
Argentina: 15 Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, 14 Gonzalo Camacho, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Santiago Fernandez, 11 Horacio Agulla, 10 Juan Martin Hernandez, 9 Martin Landajo, 8 Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (capt), 7 Juan Manuel Leguizamon, 6 Julio Faras Cabello, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Manuel Carizza, 3 Juan Figallo, 2 Eusebio Guinazu, 1 Rodrigo Roncero.
Replacements: 16 Agustin Creevy, 17 Juan Pablo Orlandi, 18 Leonardo Senatore, 19 Tomas Leonardi, 20 Nicolas Vergallo, 21 Martin Rodriguez, 22 Juan Imhoff.

Somehow I just wasn't too terribly impressed with the Movie and I am not really sure why.
Naruto it seems is still being played the "Baka", although not as badly as in previous movies. It seems that the Hokage still can't trust Naruto well enough to carry out a covert operation, without them needing to fool or deceive him.
I also would have liked to see a little of Kyuubi mode.
In the end I felt the story relied too much on "feelings" and not enough on Heroics (from our hero). I guess I would prefer seeing a much more trusted, trustworthy, mature, and heroic protagonist in these movies.
Finally I wonder why they had to use a rinnegan look-alike?

PROVIDENCE – Chelo's Restaurant Group, a family-owned restaurant company in Rhode Island, has raised $12,080 to help fund child and family behavioral health services at The Provide Center at the company's 25th annual Golf Classic held last September at the Cranston Country Club.
All proceeds from the event, which included a raffle and silent auction, were donated to the Providence Center which serves more than 12,000 people each year.
"The Chelo family has always been committed to community service and helping those in need. The mission of The Providence Center touched us all and the Chelo family wishes to extend the proceeds from our 25th annual Charity Golf Classic to them," said Craig Chelo, in a statement.
Chelo's Hometown Bar & Grill, founded in 1955, includes nine restaurants throughout Rhode Island.

Starting today, many customers using StarMetro can look forward to more service in the evenings. Recently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) awarded the transit agency with a service development grant to extend a majority of its weekday service until 8 p.m. Currently, StarMetro operates a weekday service that is comprised of 12 routes that run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and a nighttime service that consists of six routes that run from 7 to 10 p.m.
"Adding an extra hour of service on the majority of our weekday routes is part of an ongoing commitment to make StarMetro a convenient and effective way to move about Tallahassee," said Ivan Maldonado, director of StarMetro. "Our customers have asked for extended service, and we are pleased to be able to address that demand."
StarMetro will take a phased-in approach to extending nine of its 12 weekday routes. Today, the Dogwood and San Luis routes will begin running their newly extended schedules with the Forest route running its new schedule on June 3. The Azalea, Big Bend, Canopy, Evergreen, Gulf and Moss routes will begin running their new schedules on August 24, just in time for the new school year. These nine weekday routes were chosen and prioritized due to their anticipated ridership demands.
"I am proud of StarMetro for their continued efforts to find ways to improve our transit system," said City Commissioner Nancy Miller, lead commissioner on the City's Long Range Planning target issue committee. "The extension of the weekday service will prove to be a huge benefit to our students and those who work later in the evening as they can now be assured that StarMetro will be there to take them home after their evening classes or shifts."

Lecture: "'Scrape the Willow until It Sings': The Words and Work of Basket Maker Julia Parker", by Deborah Valoma
This event is expired.
The Textile Arts Council is proud to present a lecture by artist, professor, and author Deborah Valoma, longtime acquaintance of master basket maker Julia Parker (Coast Miwok/Kashaya Pomo). Nine years ago Valoma began recording her conversations with Parker, and from these emerged the recently published book Scrape the Willow until It Sings: The Words and Work of Basket Maker Julia Parker (Heyday).
Julia Parker was a student of the great basket weavers of the 20th century, including Lucy Telles (Yosemite Miwok/Paiute), Carrie Bethel (Paiute), Mabel McKay (Cache Creek Pomo), and Elsie Allen (Cloverdale Pomo). Over 50 years of diligent study and experimentation, she has emerged as one of the preeminent Native American basket makers of California. Distinguished elder of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria and a longtime resident of Yosemite Valley, Parker is a prolific artist, cultural demonstrator, teacher, and storyteller.
Deborah Valoma is a faculty member and chair of the textiles program at California College of the Arts, specializing in the cultural history of textiles as a global aesthetic practice. In addition to teaching a comprehensive series of graduate and undergraduate courses on textile history and theory, she has written articles including "Cloth and African Identity in Bahia, Brazil" (Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion) and "The Impermanent Made Permanent: Textiles, Pattern, and the Migration of a Medium" (Fiberarts). In 2010, Valoma edited Textiles: Journal of Cloth and Culture and wrote the introductory essay, on the topic of dust.

PHILADELPHIA -- It is one of the great mysteries attached to another Philadelphia Eagles season on the brink of disaster.What happened to the pass rush?
Last season, the Eagles tied the Minnesota Vikings for the NFL lead with 50 sacks. Now, with the same key D-linemen in tow, the Eagles rank next-to-last in the league with nine sacks -- which puts them on pace for a grand total of 21 sacks for the year.
MORE: What Michael Vick could learn from Jay Cutler
"The things they're doing (to combat the Eagles' rush) are different," offers defensive end Jason Babin, who ranked third in the NFL last season with 18 sacks but has seen such production plummet. He leads the team with a paltry 2 1/2 sacks.
"To compare it to last year is like comparing apples to oranges. That's not fair."
Actually, comparisons and questions are quite valid.
The pass rush was supposed to be a strength on a team that would contend for the playoffs. Instead, the lack of a rush is a weakness on a team that is skidding again.
Babin maintains that opposing offenses have beefed up blocking schemes, often using max protection such as extra tight ends or running backs who chip the rushers. Quarterbacks are also prone to release the football on quicker throws, he says.
And maybe the decreased production of the Eagles' offense is a factor. Philadelphia heads into Monday night's game at the New Orleans Saints averaging 17.1 points per game, more than a touchdown less than it averaged during the 2011 season (24.8). So the defense has not played with very many leads this season.
The Eagles (3-4) ended a three-game drought with zero sacks by collecting two sacks during Sunday's loss against the Atlanta Falcons, the unit's first game under new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, who replaced the fired Juan Castillo.
Under Bowles, the defense will undoubtedly blitz more and try to incorporate other creative twists to generate the sorely-needed pressure.
"You saw us do a couple different things last week, just moving 'backers up on the line or bringing 'backers (on blitzes)," said Eagles coach Andy Reid. "We got hurt on one with a penalty. We did a nice job covering it and then we got called on a holding call on it. We made the quarterback flush out and we put him in a position there to make a throw.
"We're doing a couple things there to mix it up. We can continue to get better and make sure that we're putting the guys in the right position to do it."
Besides the new coordinator, another move puts rookie first-round defensive tackle Fletcher Cox into the starting lineup. The Eagles still use a deep, eight-man rotation on the D-line, but Cox has earned his promotion to line up with the first unit, Reid said.
While fresh blood helps, the numbers fuel questions about whether the aging veterans have diminishing skills. Babin and defensive tackle Jenkins (one sack), who came over as free agents in 2011, are in their ninth seasons. Defensive end Trent Cole ( 1 1/2 sacks) is in his eighth campaign.
Last year, Babin, Cole and Jenkins combined for 34 1/2 sacks.
Says Babin, "We always feel we can do better. That's the bottom line."

Borrow Smart & Save
Smart borrowing choices can make a big difference in your savings.
One way to save is to pay the lowest possible interest rate on funds you borrow. Surprised? Let's walk through some scenarios where interest rates come into play and how you can save.
If you think you're paying too much interest on your home, talk to your bank or financial advisor about refinancing at a lower interest rate. If you're a first-time home buyer, take advantage of first-time home buyer rates. Shop around to find a bank that offers you the best rates and options.
- See Today's Mortgage Rates
Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit
If you have equity in your home, a home equity loan or line of credit can be one of the most convenient ways to borrow. Interest rates are often lower than that of other loans and often tax deductible.
- Learn More About Home Equity Loans
- Learn More About Home Equity Lines
Credit Cards
Strive to use a credit card with a low interest rate. Also, make sure your card offers a rewards program, such as our CompassPoints® program, so you can make the most of every transaction.
If you have an existing balance on a credit card and you are paying high interest each month, take one of these two approaches:
- Pay the card off quickly.
- Call the credit card company and negotiate a lower rate that you can pay off quicker. According to a survey cited on Kiplinger.com, ninety-three percent of people know they can attempt to negotiate a lower rate, but only twenty-nine percent actually try.
The interest you're not paying is money that could be in your savings account.

New watermark for Corona del Mar
IRVINE Corona del Mar's girls water polo team introduced two improved ingredients to its championship formula Saturday night.
The Sea Kings unleashed a super-charged counterattack and an unrelenting press defense for their showdown against rival Newport Harbor in the CIF Division 1 final.
The two elements mixed with a healthier team chemistry to push Corona del Mar to new heights.
Speedy attacker Ally McCormick scored four goals and was part of a defense that didn't allow an even-strength goal in the second half as Corona del Mar claimed its first Division 1 crown with a 6-5 victory in front of an estimated 1,300 at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center.
Corona del Mar (27-4) opened a 6-4 lead midway through the fourth period on a cross-cage lob from center by Marina Coskinas and then held against three Newport Harbor (24-7) timeout plays in the final 1:35 to seal its first victory against Newport Harbor in a Division 1 final.
The teams split four matches in the regular season but Newport Harbor entered the final with ultimate bragging rights against Corona del Mar: head-to-head victories in the 2012 and 2008 Division 1 finals.
"It's absolutely incredible," McCormick said of the victory. "Losing to them last year only fueled our fire and we only wanted it so much more because we know how miserable it feels to lose. ... We finally came together as a team."
Corona del Mar's improved chemistry with Greek transfers Stephania and Ioanna Haralabidis has been on display the past 2 1/2 weeks but the Sea Kings' showed more speed on the counterattack and more tenacity on defense.
Corona del Mar delivered a 4-0 run in the first half to wipe out an early 2-0 lead by Newport Harbor. The final two goals came on counterattacks by Cassidy Papa and McCormick. A save by Erica Weed sparked McCormick's strike.
Newport Harbor knotted the score, 4-4, on a rebound put-back by Avery Peterson early in the third but McCormick broke free to score the go-ahead goal on another counterattack with 3:52 left in the third.
Each potent counterattack started with strong defense by Corona del Mar.
"Every possession, everyone gave everything they had," Papa said.
Corona del Mar's defense held Newport Harbor to a 2-for-7 effort on the power-play; the Sea Kings went 2 for 4.
The Sailors' Elissia Schilling scored twice from 2 meters in the first half, but in the second half, Corona del Mar limited the Sailors to an extra-man goal in the third and a penalty conversion by Carly Christian with 2:05 left.
"Our shooting was way off and then we allowed McCormick to get free," Newport Harbor coach Bill Barnett said. "I congratulate them (Corona del Mar). They played well."
For McCormick, Saturday might have been her final water polo match. The senior has signed with BYU to swim.
"It feels really incredible that we're the group that was able to (win Division 1 for CdM)," McCormick said. "I still can't believe that it happened. It's the best feeling in the world."
Added Papa, "It's always good to beat Newport, and to beat them in championship, I can't even put words it into words."
Newport Harbor's Cleo Harrington made nine saves; Weed finished with six.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Two new council members joined the Castle Dale City council on Jan. 8. Joel Dorsch and Kollette Cologie were sworn in as well as, Brad Giles, who is serving another term. Mayor Neal Peacock gave the council members their assignments, Dorsch will be in charge of beautification, city celebrations, youth council, maintenance and will serve as the representative from Castle Dale City to the fair board. Cologie will be placed in charge of the swimming pool and planning and zoning. Council member Jack Rogers will add dog catcher to his present duties. Giles will also add the position of representative to the Castle Valley Special Service District to his duties. Council member Dan Whiteleather will continue on with all his regular assignments.
Robert Midgely came before the council as a representative of the Headstart program to discuss the rezoning of the old jail facility. Headstart is interested in renovating the facility for use by the Headstart program. They have outgrown their current facility.
The Emery County Commission recently sent a letter to Castle Dale City indicating that they did not oppose Headstart asking Castle Dale City for the rezoning of the facility. Carolyn Jorgensen, city clerk, wanted Midgely to know about a sewer problem with the old jail facility.
Giles stated that it would be the county's responsibility to correct the problem with the sewer. Mayor Peacock also stated they have been before the county commission with a request for the barbed wire around the facility to be taken down. The current fence also in place along Center Street prevents Castle Dale from putting a sidewalk along that stretch. They would also like to see the county remove that fence so sidewalk can be installed.
It was determined that Headstart should come before the planning and zoning board for Castle Dale City at their next meeting on Feb. 4. It was also mentioned that part of the sales pitch to obtain a new jail facility was that the old one was unsafe. Jorgensen pointed out that the building is not necessarily unsafe, but it just did not meet federal codes and regulations necessary for a jail facility. But, other uses of the facility can be considered.
Dorsch mentioned that taking the fence down, removing the barbed wire and siren in place would improve the looks of the building and he would work on those projects.
Mayor Peacock said they have received a copy of their audit report and everything has turned out OK with it.
Giles reported that the Utah Department of Transportation had recently met in Richfield and the final plans are ready for the intersection in Castle Dale where the three intersections meet causing a dangerous situation. The drainage at the intersection will also be reconstructed and Castle Dale City will be responsible for the landscaping at the completion of the project. This landscaping project will be funded through the Castle Valley Special Service District as one of their projects for the city. This landscaping is expected to cost approximately $47,000, which will be given to UDOT as a lump sum payment at the end of the project.
Giles reported that all Castle Dale City projects for 2004 were approved by the Castle Valley Special Service District.
The mayor and council discussed the recent snow storms and the snow removal. Maintenance workers said there was a problem with vehicles parked along city streets which made snow removal difficult. Mayor Peacock reminded everyone that the sidewalk in front of their home or business is the owners responsiblity to keep clear. It was also mentioned that the Castle Dale snow removal team was called to help clear the new jail facility parking lot. The mayor said he was pleased with snow removal efforts and things had gone well.
A letter will be drafted to go out to city residents to remind them to keep their cars off the streets during snow storms. The city will probably need another load of salt to get through the rest of the winter and it was determined the benefits would far outweigh the expense in the long run.
Mayor Peacock explained some situations the city has had with vandalism by two youth in the city. Earlier these youth had destroyed some concrete with footprints and words written in the sidewalk. Most recently they stole some Christmas lights out of trees in the park, took them into the post office and broke them. They also took the ashtrays from outside of Headquarters and dumped them out in the post office. To add insult to injury, they then urinated in one of the mail slots. Mayor Peacock expressed his anger at these acts of vandalism. The city has received letters from the court asking for an estimate of the damages incurred in these incidents. Mayor Peacock thought the concrete incident alone incurred $4,000 worth of damage. They will determine the amount of cost involved in the light theft incident.
Problems with the concession buildings at the fair grounds was discussed. There are eight barrels of grease left over from the lamb fry. Dorsch said they would take care of that problem in the next two weeks. The maintenance crew also said they need a longer cord so they can steam clean the side of the building where grease has spilled. Dorsch said they would take care of a cord so this clean-up can proceed. It was determined that too many keys are out there circulating for this building and that they are considering at changing the locks.
The next Castle Dale City council meeting will be held on Feb. 12.

Full report reveals witness accounts of "orange glow" in sky when RAF Lakenheath helicopter crashed in Cley
17:00 28 July 2014
Archant Norfolk
Witnesses to the fatal Cley US helicopter crash saw an "orange glow" in the sky before the Pave Hawk helicopter fell to the ground, a full investigation report has revealed.
The 1,876 page document, produced by US investigators, includes transcripts of interviews with witnesses that report seeing a flock of geese being scared into the sky, before a "fireball" was spotted by a secondary helicopter crew.
A summarised report released on July 9 confirmed the cause of the crash to be bird strike, after at least three geese smashed through the HH-60's windscreen.
Captains Christopher S Stover, 28, and Sean M Ruane, 31, Technical Support Sergeant Dale E Mathews, 37, and Staff Sergeant Afton M Ponce, 28. all based at RAF Lakenheath, were killed in the crash.
One witness, a student who had been in the Dun Cow pub just before the incident took place at around 6pm on January 7, said he saw the aircraft scare a flock of geese before impact.
"It literally dropped, like incredibly suddenly. And I could see this orange glow, this orange illumination.
"And it was very quick; I mean so quick that I couldn't believe my eyes.
"I knew it was a chopper, it must have been a chopper: and thinking about it, my first thoughts were nothing, no mechanical vehicle, could descend that quickly on purpose, so that must have been a crash. And, you know, just watching it I could hardly believe what I had just seen."
• Report into Cley helicopter crash finds US Air Force pilots knocked unconscious by "multiple bird strikes"
• Norfolk helicopter crash: How the tragedy unfolded
• Cley helicopter tragedy: In memoriam
The majority of witness statements in the report are from US Air Force personnel.
The instructor pilot of the second aircraft on the fatal training mission told investigators that he spotted a small fire on the ground after the HH-60 aircraft did not respond to radio calls.
"I turned the aircraft around, and probably about maybe half a mile behind us you could see a little bit of a fire.
"It wasn't huge; but it didn't look like them because it was really small, a real small fire; but I knew that it was them," he said.
The pilot said that after landing, his crew conducted a search for surivivors.
"The three of us searched for survivors for about 20/30 minutes and eventually found all of them and took pulses, and there were no survivors. And there was not much we could do beyond that." he said.
The report includes confirmation that the crews would fly in the Cley and Salthouse area frequently, with one witness saying it was as much as " a couple of times a week".
It was also confirmed that the crews did not see the flock of geese before they smashed through the aircraft's windscreen, causing the crash.
The impact of the crash site on USAF clean-up crews is also documented in the findings, with reports of crew members almost fainting as they struggled to deal with the scene.
A videographer is said to have "slumped over" as she recorded footage of the bodies being removed from the aircraft, while medical crews were said to be left stunned by the aftermath.
The report was released after a Freedom of Information Act request by the BBC.

: : : I have a problem which I hope someone can help me figure out.
: : :
: : : Lately, the water pressure in my home seems to go real high and extremely too low. I have checked all the pipes and cannot find a leak.
: : :
: : : I had the submersible pump and the piping to the well replaced about 3 years ago.
: : :
: : : When taking a shower and turning on the faucet, I lose water pressure all-together. I am wondering if it could be a water-logged pressure tank or a bad switch.
: : :
: : : If it is a water-logged pressure tank, how do I check?
: : :
: : : The pressure gauge seems to go too high on the pressure tank. It goes to 86-87 lbs.
: : :
: : : Thank you. I appreciate any advice you can offer.
: : Dave; First remove the valve cap on the top of tank and let a spurt of air out. Does any water come out? If not, then Drain the tank (pump off) and check what the air pressure is in the bladder....It should be 2 lbs less than your cut-in pressure. Is this 86-87 lbs when the pump shuts off? Normally, a system has a 30 on/ 50 off, so the air would be at 28 lbs. Post back with info and we will advise further. Hube
Deb/Hube... Thanks for your advice. I followed both of your suggestions. Now, I have an even bigger problem.
My pressure in the tank is 28 lb. The cut-on/off is 28-50 lb. I have bypassed the water softener. Now, the water pressure is good only while the pump is running and then when pump shuts off there is no water pressure at all. It takes several minutes for the pressure to back go down to 28 lb to allow the pump to turn back on.
I have double-checked and can find no leaks.

Industrial breakthrough with robots
2011: The most successful year for industrial robots since 1961
Munich, 23 May 2012 - "2011 was the most successful year for industrial robots in 50 years. Since the first installation in 1961 more than 2.3 million were sold all over the world!" stated Dr. Shinsuke Sakakibara, IFR President, on Wednesday, 23 May 2012 at the AUTOMATICA in Munich. "And the robotics industry is looking forward to a bright future."
"In 2011, about 165,000 industrial robots were sold worldwide, by far the highest level ever recorded, 37% more than 2010" announced Arturo Baroncelli, IFR Vice President in Munich. "The impetuous increase of demand in 2010 and 2011 following the worldwide financial and economic crisis exceeded all our expectations. We expect that in 2012, robot sales will further increase with a more reduced growth rate and again reach a new peak level." he added. "The use of robots always guarantees fast return on investments and dramatic improvements in terms of quality. And this is true both in the car and the general industry, both in emerging countries and in nations having a long industrial tradition."
The most important countries responsible for the remarkable growth were China, the United States and Germany with growth rates of robot sales between 39% and 51%. All three countries reached new peak levels. However, they still could not reach the levels of the two biggest markets which only increased below average. Japan was back on top with almost 28,000 industrial robots, 27% more than 2010. Robot sales to the Republic of Korea increased more slightly by 9% to 25,500 units.
China was the most rapidly growing market over the last years except in 2009. In 2011 almost 22,600 industrial robots were supplied to this market. At least by 2014, China will surpass other countries to top the robot market worldwide. Most of the ASEAN countries with Thailand topping the list, as well as the Central and European countries are increasing their robot markets. The strong increase of robot supplies in India might be the initial breakthrough of robotics and automation in that country. Also the robot sales to Brazil skyrocketed to more than 1,400 units in 2011, 125% more than in 2010.
Again, like in 2010, the automotive industry strongly increased robot investments. Continuing Modernization and increase of capacities in emerging markets were the main reasons. The trend towards automation, especially in the metal and machinery industry, boosted robot sales also to other industries. The electrical/electronics industry - which almost tripled robot installations in 2010 - increased robot orders again with a lower growth rate. There is still a high potential for robot installations in almost all industries.
Since the end of the financial and economic crisis in 2008/2009 the trend towards automation accelerated enormously all over the world, especially in Asia with China on top. The automotive industry and the electrical and electronics industry boosted robot installations already in the past two years. But all other industries are following this trend. There is an increasing demand for products of high quality all over the world. Industrialisation is rapidly increasing in growing consumer markets in Asia and South America. The North American industry, especially the automotive industry, strengthens its competiveness domestically and abroad.
Increased productivity will be required to offset labour shortage and the higher costs associated with demographic shift in many countries. Sustainability, eco-friendly production and energy-saving measures are gaining an increasing importance all over the world. New production processes have to be installed. Automation provides solutions for all these challenges and industrial robots are key components of automation.
The robotics industry is prepared to meet this changing and growing demand. Many robot suppliers were increasing their capacities. Since the installation of the first robot in 1961 technology has improved extensively. Who could imagine in 1961 that an industrial robot
Just to name a few.

Dean's Intern Shares LivingSocial Experience
Below is a first person account from Dean's Intern Erica Finkelstein on her internship at LivingSocial.
Live hungry. This is a LivingSocial motto that is frequently overheard in meetings, read in emails, and seen on the walls of the company's New York Avenue office.
Food actually played a key role in my internship, because I spent a lot of time working on a LivingSocial experience called "Sumo + Sushi." Sumo + Sushi is a LivingSocial Original event: guests watch a live sumo-wrestling match while enjoying a gourmet sushi meal complete with sake and edamame. I guess you could call it a form of dinner theatre!
I needed to learn a lot about the ins and outs of this event because I had the opportunity to work on press releases, media alerts, media lists, and pitching for the event. When the tour came to D.C., I went to see the show at LivingSocial's 918 F St. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Boring is not a word used at LivingSocial. The brand is truly unique, as I discovered by working on the internal communication team.
This internship allowed me to hone my public relations skills, something very important to me in my final semester of college. It also helped me further focus my interests, and confirm that in the future I am interested in consumer public relations.
I made the most of key opportunities throughout my internship, seeking out marketing team members to ask if I could assist with their projects, like the international marketing newsletter. I loved that particular assignment because I got to find out what other LivingSocial offices were working on around the world.
I also took the advantage of a Social Media Week panel about sports and entertainment marketing held at LivingSocial's 918 F St. The event tied together LivingSocial, Social Media Week, D.C., and public relations, four of my favorite things.

|In response to Re: Toilet Installation
There are special toilets for basements that do not have a sewer outlet in the floor, they pump the affluent out. If you have a drain below the surface of the floor, then you have to connect a flange to that. The flange sets on the floor and is anchored to the floor with screws. It is glued to the drain pipe. The toilet is designed to mate with the flange and is either sealed with a wax ring or the newer type of flange that doesn't require the ring. The two bolts that come through either side of the base of the toilet are "T" bolts that slip into a channel on the flange. When installed properly, the toilet is secured to the flange which is secured to the floor and drain.

Yep, the JESTS!!! LMAO.
Yep, the JESTS!!! LMAO.
LMAO...that's harsh
edit: I MF'n hate the SEC !!!
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
Yep. He did well till he met up with some real competion. ND had a great season and beat the teams put before them. The kids have no control over who they play..With that said if teams want to compete the SEC they have to schedule some really tough non conference games against SEC Schools. And not have the padded automatic 3 wins playing inferior opponents. Most teams just play in weak conferences. They have no control over that. But they can control the non conference part.
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!

"I work in an specialized area of theatre that involves as much suit-and-tie greeting as it does nuts-and-bolt stagework. These docs are equally at home doing both. Most workboots built *this* tough also look like military gear - these Docs are as stylish as they are rugged. And that means something because this might be the most durable workboot I've ever worn. Bring on the NYC winters...these Docs laugh at rain, crush ice and show, and have a steel toe you can drop a sledgehammer on - all while remaining nice enough so that you won't have to take them off while visiting grandma.

Not that a lot of you even know who she is, unless you follow the sport of dog sledding or just the Iditarod, she's not a sports icon to the general public, but she's the equivilent of Michelle Kwan up here.
She won the Iditarod four times, and was/is the second female to win, period. I grew up idolizing her and cheering her on each year.
She was diagnosed about 8 months ago with Leukemia, and was really much through with the worst when it came back even more aggressive than before.

Statement by Brian Kennedy
Director of the National Gallery of Australia
30 May 2003
The National Gallery has received the report of the Comcare investigator, Mr. Robert Wray.
In response to a request from the Senate Environment, Communications, Information Technology and Arts Legislation Committee, and in the interests of transparency and accountability, the Gallery has forwarded a copy of the report to the Committee.
The Gallery was reassured to learn that in the opinion of experts from Murdoch University called in by Mr Wray: "there was no reason to suggest that the NGA environment constituted a threat to the health of employees working in the building."
Mr Wray also notes that the National Gallery is making satisfactory progress with the implementation of recommendations made in previous Comcare reports.
Mr Wray takes issue with some aspects of the Gallery's management of OH&S matters. The Gallery will carefully consider these matters. We are committed to an ongoing program of continuous improvement of OH&S management and have engaged the National Safety Council of Australia to work with the Gallery in this regard.
The Gallery does not agree with all of Mr Wray's report, and will pursue these matters with Comcare.
However, the Gallery accepts Mr Wray's recommendations and will implement all seven of them.
The implementation of the recommendations will be oversighted by a Steering Committee comprising the Chief Executive Officer of Comcare, a representative of the CPSU and the Director of the National Gallery.
For further information please contact the National Gallery of Australia's Media Adviser Ken Begg – email@example.com; 0412 174319; +61 2 6262 5519.

Refer to the system requirements or the ReadMe file file included in the product.
If the encoding computer does not meet the minimum system requirements, the resulting audio/video stream might be compromised. Always make sure that CPU usage does not exceed 75% while encoding, or the quality of the encoded file could be affected.
Check the graphics card on the encoding computer; it should be overlay enabled or should support Video Mixing Renderer (VMR).
Check the graphics card on the encoding computer; it should be overlay enabled or should support VMR.
This may happen for IEEE 1394 devices because they populate the value field based on the video standard. The value is 29.97fps for NTSC and 25fps for PAL.
This option is disabled when either the device is not capable of providing the timecode or the device timecode DLL is missing from the Timecode folder in the application installation directory. However, you may use the System Timecode option to embed the system time as a timecode in the video stream or file.
Deinterlace works only for video sizes that have a height greater than or equal to 480 pixels and a width greater than or equal to 576 pixels.
All DirectShow supported devices that give data in raw format can be used with Flash Media Live Encoder. See the list of capture devices certified for Flash Media Live Encoder.
Verify that the device is listed in the Device Manager and the device drivers are properly installed. Also, make sure that the device supports DirectShow.
First, make sure no other application is using the device. Then, try the following:
In general, Flash Media Live Encoder does not tamper with the audio or video timestamps. But when the device gives video frames with a backward timestamp, those frames are dropped. With audio, if the samples have a backward timestamp, then the timestamp value is adjusted.
Flash Media Live Encoder supports only raw data from video and audio devices. The supported raw video formats include I420, YV12, YUY2, UYVY, RGB24, and RGB32.
The device may not support the combination of frame rate and video size that you selected. Change either the frame rate or the video size.
This error occurs when the audio device filter does not expose the interface required to set the audio intensity. The volume level will be the default level sent by the device.
This error occurs when the device starts behaving unexpectedly (sending packets with wrong or backward timestamps) after a long encoding session. The application will restart itself after encountering this error. This error will not affect the video quality.
There could be two reasons for this error:
Flash Media Live Encoder uses RTMP and RTMPT to connect to the server.
Verify that the encoding computer is connected to the network. Also, verify that the connection URL to Flash Media Server is correct and that the Flash Media Server application to which you're connecting exists. Make sure that the port on the server is enabled and the firewall is not blocking the connection. Also make sure that the Allow tag in vhost.xml in Flash Media Server contains the correct parameters. Refer to the vhost.xml for the correct parameters.
Yes. Flash Media Live Encoder tries to reconnect every five seconds (by default) until a connection is established. However, you can change that default setting and determine how often and for how long Flash Media Live Encoder tries to reconnect by editing the profile file. Refer to Flash Media Live Encoder Help for more details.
Verify that the stream name is not already used by that application. Also, make sure the stream name follows stream-naming conventions for Flash Media Server.
Flash Media Live Encoder version information is passed as a user agent ID to the server.
Hostname resolution occurs at every reconnection attempt. Flash Media Live Encoder does not cache the IP address of the server.
Download the Authentication add-in and install it on Flash Media Server.
Credentials are saved only for each connect-disconnect session and not for a complete encoding session.
No. Default authentication is implemented at the server level, not at the application level. If desired, you can implement a custom server-side access module for application-level authentication.
The selected bitrate represents the average value at which the application should encode; the actual bit rate depends primarily on the content. Complex video sequences require more bits compared to still video. Also, if there is a drop in frame rate, either due to the device or high CPU usage, the actual bitrate will differ.
The selected frame rate represents the average value at which the application should encode; the actual frame rate depends on the frame rate the application is getting from the device. Some devices do not give the video at the desired frame rate. It may be lower or higher. Also, in the Encoding Statistics panel on the Encoding Log tab, check for frame drops. If there are frame drops, make sure CPU usage of the system is not more than 75%.
Make sure the CPU usage of the encoding computer does not exceed 75%. If it does, try increasing the video bitrate or decreasing the video size or frame rate.
Verify the buffer value from the Flash Media Live Encoder publishing statistics. If this value is high, then network conditions are unfavorable, and Flash Media Live Encoder is unable to stream the data to the server. If the buffer value keeps increasing, then Flash Media Live Encoder may crash. Use Auto Adjust to overcome this issue.
By default, you can stream up to 20Mbps of data to the server.
The deinterlace filter is based on a simple vertical blur algorithm and is not very effective at higher video sizes. Adobe suggests that you deinterlace at the hardware level for better quality and performance.
Select a bitrate according to the video content. For large and dynamic video input, you need a higher bitrate. An extremely low bitrate might result in low-quality video and pixilation. For small and relatively still video input, you can use a lower bitrate.
The Base profile uses less CPU power than the Main profile but compromises video quality. If you want high-quality video and you have a good hardware configuration system, use the Main profile; otherwise the encoder might reduce the output fps during the encoding process.
H.264 levels define the limit on the combination of video size, frame rate, and bitrate that the encoder can encode. Changing the H.264 level does not have any impact on video quality and CPU usage. For details, see the Flash Media Live Encoder Help and Wikipedia article on H.264.
Adobe recommends you use the highest available sample rate to get the best quality. The bit rates listed below are only suggestions; actual bit rates vary from case to case.
For music, movies, and mixed content, try the following bit rates:
|Audio format
|Less than 48kbps
|Parametric stereo
|Above 224kbps
|MP3 or AAC
|Stereo (for MP3) or LC stereo (for AAC)
For speech, dialogue, and meeting content, use the same ranges listed above, but use Mono for the channel setting.
Pixelation occurs when the video bitrate is not sufficient to encode the video. Increasing the video bitrate will usually resolve the issue. Also, if you are using the H.264 base profile, try switching to the Main profile.
Auto Adjust is used to adjust video settings dynamically in case of adverse network conditions between Flash Media Live Encoder and Flash Media Server. With Auto Adjust, you can select either the Drop Frames or the Degrade Quality option. Drop Frames will drop video frames at the RTMP end, and Degrade Quality will reduce the bitrate of the encoded stream. The Degrade Quality option affects both the primary and backup stream as well as the file that is being saved. The Drop Frames option adjusts each stream individually. The saved file will not be affected.
This problem occurs because of adverse network conditions. Try reducing the bitrate to work better with the network bandwidth, or try the Auto Adjust feature.
Jittery video occurs if the subscriber buffer empties. Change the buffer size of the subscriber to a non-zero value.
The size of the buffer depends on two factors:
These two factors are conflicting: Ideally the stream should both start quickly and be stable. One way to deal with this situation is to have two different buffer settings, one for when the stream starts and one for when the playback is in progress. This strategy significantly reduces the conflict. It allows a small buffer to be set for fast start, and a longer one to be used to ensure stream stability when playback begins. Because network issues can still affect the initial buffer size, the initial buffer size cannot be arbitrarily small. Adobe recommends always setting the buffer to a non-zero value.
Live applications that use the Live Aggregate Messages feature on Flash Media Server to improve performance need to use a buffer that is at least as long as the delay introduced by the live aggregation. The delay is 500ms (0.5s) by default but can be configured on a per-application basis. If the buffer isn't long enough, the stream will not play back smoothly.
For dynamic bitrate switching, Adobe recommends using a buffer length value that is equal to the keyframe frequency of the encoded video.
Per the MP4 standard, Flash Media Live Encoder creates fragmented F4V files that are optimized for streaming from Flash Media Server. F4V or MP4 playback applications that do not fully conform to the MP4 specification may fail to play.
If the Flash Media Live Encoder process is terminated during encoding, the saved file will be closed improperly and will not be playable.
