Cap Crunch: Vancouver's Amnesty Buyout Candidates
Thomas Drance
January 02 2013 04:59PM
In discussing our "top Canucks story lines to watch for in 2013," we briefly discussed the likelihood of a salary cap that would fall significantly (by as much as 14%) by 2013-14 in a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA). With the league reportedly standing firm on a 60 million dollar salary cap for the 2013/14 season, the upcoming cap-crunch should make for cap-wizard Laurence Gilman's "greatest test yet."
There could be some balm for the Canucks' cap-itch in the form on a "one time amnesty buyout" provision, but even so, balancing the need to ice a contending team, and retaining the services of Alex Edler, with the necessity of getting under a 60 million dollar cap in 2013/14 could prove to be a painful proposition.
Let's look at some of the team's options.
I'll start by referring you to the table James Mirtle put together over at the Globe and Mail site on Wednesday morning. Mirtle broke down each NHL club by the cap-hits they're committed to in 2013/14, and their available space under a hypothetical 60 million dollar cap. Among all NHL clubs, the Caucks have committed more cap-space (55.4 million) to players already under contract than 24 other clubs. But that's not the whole story since that 55.4 million accounts for only 13 players, fewer than every team ahead of them on that list.
If we assume that all of the players currently under contract for 2013-14 remain on the Canucks roster at the beginning of that season, and that in 2013-14 the club would roll with a 22 man roster (2 goalies, 7 defenseman and 13 forwards), the Canucks would have to sign eight players at an average cap-hit of $511,111. It's an impossible task, but also a silly hypothetical since the Canucks will assuredly move Roberto Luongo (and his 5.33 million dollar cap-hit) at some point in 2013.
Still, it'll be a bit of a slog for the Canucks. In fact based on the number of players needed to fill a 22 man roster and the average cap-hit available to sign those players, only four other NHL clubs will face tougher salary-cap circumstances heading into a 2013-14 season (three if you place Chris Pronger on long-term injury reserve). In such circumstances it seems exceedingly likely that the Canucks would have to use their "amnesty buyout" before the 2013-14 season in order to make their roster cap compliant.
With that let's discuss three former Panthers/possible "buyout candidates" floated on Wednesday by the Vancouver Sun's Iain Macintyre.
Buyout Candidates
Roberto Luongo
Of all Canucks players currently under contract, Roberto Luongo has the "worst" one. This is despite the fact that Luongo is arguably the second best goaltender in the NHL (based on the consistency with which he posts an elite even-strength save percentage), and carries only the 7th highest cap-hit of NHL goaltenders signed through the 2013-14 season (behind Rinne, Bryzgalov, Lundqvist, Quick, Kipprusoff, Miller and Ward). So while Luongo is an elite goaltender, and is paid less than a whole whack of his less consistent contemporaries, the fact remains that save percentage is so random and his contract length is so exorbitant, that the contract remains a "bad" one.
Of course, everyone and their grandmother expects Roberto Luongo to be moved at some point in the near future. And depending on the shape an amnesty buyout takes in the new collective bargaining, (would it have to be used immediately? Or could teams bank it like in the most recent NBA CBA?) the presence of an "amnesty buyout" could serve to mitigate some of the long-term risk posed by Luongo's contract. As could the the so called "Kovy Klause."
At the end of the day I expect Luongo will be traded for a meagre-ish return (including at least a couple million in cap-space), and I don't think he's a serious "buyout candidate" for the Canucks.
David Booth
The constant criticism of David Booth is partly based on his controversial Twitter usage, but it also reflects that Canucks fans and Vancouver sports media have struggled to adjust their offensive expectations for top-six wingers not named Daniel Sedin over the past couple of seasons.
Since Newell Brown joined the Canucks as an assistant coach and took over coaching responsibilities for Vancouver's special teams units, power-play time for second line wingers who can't fill in at the point (like Mason Raymond in 2010-11 and David Booth in 2011-12, as opposed to Mikael Samuelsson) has been scarce. Alex Burrows is a special case since he benefits from the wizardry of the Sedin twins, but generally speaking a 25 goal season from a top-six winger averaging 90 seconds of power-play icetime per game (or less) is pretty damn good.
If you extrapolate Booth's performance in 56 games as a Vancouver Canuck winger last season, that's essentially what David Booth provided, which is well worth 4.5 million in cap-space over the next three seasons. If pucks start going David Booth's way (and they haven't for the past couple of years, and Booth might be a shooting percentage outlier though I'd like to wait another season before concluding that), his totals could be more palatable to those with a more superficial understanding of expected offensive output.
Last season, David Booth contributed goals at a comparable rate (goals per million) to Brad Richards, Rick Nash, Alex Tanguay, Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar. As Cam Charron put it this past summer, "if David Booth is overpaid, it isn't by a heck of a lot," especially considering that Booth possesses a physical element to his game and helps the Canucks dominate the puck when he's on the ice.
At 4.5 million per season, I don't really think Booth is a true "buyout candidate," he's just an appropriately paid, quality top-six forward.
Keith Ballard
Keith Ballard's Vancouver tenure has been an unmitigated disappointment. Throughout his pre-Vancouver career, he was a reliable puckmover who competently handled tough-minutes while posting auspicious point totals (for a blueliner) and possession numbers. In 2010-11 he was coming off of an injury, never really seemed to fit into Alain Vigneault's system and ultimately found himself stapled to the bench in the postseason - even as the Canucks dealt with a rash of injuries, and suspensions.
With negative trade value, three seasons left on a lucrative contract set to pay him 4.2 million per season through 2014-15, and no clear cut path to playing a top-4 role while Alain Vigneault is behind the Canucks bench; Keith Ballard is the only true buyout candidate on the Canucks books in my view.
Personally I'd like to see the Canucks deploy Ballard as a "Sedin-caddy" in a shortened season in an effort to bump up his trade-value. I mean, they've done it before. But realistically, it looks like an amnesty buyout represents the path of least resistance for the Canucks in dealing with Ballard's limited role and oversized contract.
I'll be extremely curious to see exactly how Laurence Gilman and Mike Gillis - two of the savviest executives in the national hockey league - handle a brave new collective bargaining agreement (fingers crossed) over the next seven months or so. They mastered the former CBA in relatively short-order and manipulated it expertly, but I'd expect an adjustment period before Vancouver's management team locates the exploitable loopholes in any new agreement. While they're adjusting however, they'll also need to contend with a salary cap that most expect will decline precipitously before the 2013-14 season.
It's a tall order, sure, but with a Luongo trade presumably on the horizon and the option of amenstying Keith Ballard's contract, the adjustment might not be too, too painful for Vancouver's club. Maybe they'll even manage to re-up Alex Edler...
January 02 2013, 10:01PM
Another scenario could be using the amnesty buyout as a trade incentive to increase Luo's value.
Imagine a trade to the Islanders in which the Canucks take on Rick Dipietro ++.
Not only would that trade be sort of ironic, it would also be the first (hopefully of many) manipulations of the new CBA.

Little Creeper Baby Trash Fish 2pk
Measuring in at 4-inches, the Little Creeper Baby Trash Fish is a smaller, bite-size version of the original All-American Trash Fish. Featuring the same body design, which was hand-sculpted using the body style of a an actual Hitch as the model, it is still virtually identical to almost every trash fish in North America, including juvenile Shiners, Suckers, squawfish, Alewives, Perch, Carp, Smelt, etc.
The Baby Trash Fish is also constructed with two different densities of plastic, which helps produce its unique swimming motion, and makes it tougher and more durable than most soft swimbaits. Extremely versatile, it can be fished super slow on the bottom or waked across the surface, and it can even be flipped into heavy cover like a jig. Available in a variety of realistic color combinations, the Little Creeper Baby Trash Fish now offers added versatility to help you better match the hatch, and generate additional bites on those tough days.
Little Creeper recommends rigging the Baby Trash Fish with a 3/0 or 4/0 Gamakatsu Weighted Monster EWG Hook or a Davis Baits X Swim Weighted Swimbait Hook.

Comments: You can say what you want about Berkley and Little Creeper and price differences, but there's no question about one thing - COLORS. Little Creeper has Berkley beat hands-down on color selection.
Comments: what helps out is cheaper lures when plastic is like less then 6 dollars to make and they sell this for 12 dollars. Thats whats helps. old fisherman aren't tricked so easy. God bless
From: Alex
Comments: What "helps" fishermen out a lot is innovation. When big bait companies rip off smaller, innovative companies fishermen lose out. Yes these are a bit expensive for what they are, but so is that $4 coffee everyone drinks today.
Comments: If strike king ones are more durable and more sizes i'm choosing strike king over this. A lot more fisherman can afford strike king version in this bad economy. They help fisherman out alot.
From: Alex
Comments: waiting for strike king version in more sizes and a lot cheaper for all fisherman. This is good lure but if some else sells them cheaper. I'm game, too much for 2 little plastics. I spend a lot on plastics but for only 2 seems too much.
From: Alex
Comments: These work great in clear water lakes. smallies and largies alike love them.. I have had several smallmouth bite the tails off of them which is an issue when your talking $6.50 for a lure that can possibly be ruined on your first cast. Great lure if your not worried about cost. Now that theres a strike king knockoff i'll be using the Strike King version for fun fishing and the LC for tournament time only.
From: Rob: Miffco, PA
Comments: These baits can catch fish but they tear apart very quickly. by the end of the day I had more mend-it than the regular plastic on the bait. If pike are in the area DO NOT THROW THIS BAIT!!!!
Comments: These are nicely designed and seem to swim well but as small and soft as they are, I think they should be packaged with more than 2 in the pack. They are very soft and I dont see them lasting beyond a couple fish... maybe a few fish at the most.

By CYNTHIA GRANTGuest Writer
On July 16, San Rafael Temple Riders kicked off the major trip of the summer to the Black Hills by meeting up with other Temple Riders gathered in Vernal, for a temple session. Riders from Wyoming, Colorado, Salt Lake, and Salem joined the San Rafael riders in Vernal. Next day they went their various ways and the group from the San Rafael Chapter, formed a couple of years ago, continued their eight day adventure.
Included in the San Rafael group were Ralph and Loretta Worthen from Ferron, along with their 17 year-old daughter McKayla, who rides her own bike. Cynthia and JJ Grant completed the group. They left Vernal and traveled through beautiful country stopping at Flaming Gorge dam. Within several hundred feet of leaving the dam they encountered a wreck where two passengers of a motorcycle going the opposite direction ran off the barpit on a sharp bend. Although the injured couple was riding with several other bikes, the TRA stopped to lend aid and make the sure the injured riders were taken care of before heading off again, painfully conscious of safety on the road.
The next historical stop was Martin's Cove in Wyoming, where the Worthen's renewed acquaintance with former Ferron residents, the Ridings, as well as visiting with other Temple Riders who were taking time off from their personal interests to serve at the Martin Cove Mission.
Next interest stop was the Devil's Tower, which was America's first national monument, created by President Theodore Roosevelt 1906. The massive monolith rises 1267 above the landscape. Avid rock climbers were spotted clinging to the sides of the igneous tower on their way to the top.
The bikers couldn't resist a quick stop in Sturgis, S. D., where thousands of motorcyclists will be gathering for several weeks in August for the 71st rally.
The next several days found the TRA members exploring the area around Rapid City, S.D. First stop was Deadwood, the historical remnant of the 1876 gold rush begun in the Black Hills. Deadwood included a tour around town and through the cemetery where Wild Bill Hickock was buried along with Calamity Jane, a walk along historic Main Street, the Adams Museum, and a visit with Calamity Jane, recounting the tale of her life in the Old West. The Riders then headed down to Crazy Horse Monument, a massive sculpture begun in 1947 honoring native Americans. The sculpture is continuing to be blasted and chistled out of the South Dakota granite. The motorcyclists went on to Mt. Rushmore where the TRA group enjoyed the evening program and lighting ceremony.
The next day found the TRA going over the narrow, windy road of Iron Mountain with several different views of Mt. Rushmore, then through the Needles, a 14 mile drive through granite outcroppings and the fantastic views of the Black Hills. Custer State Park was next with a ride around the wildlife loop. This included interesting contrasts between the tree-covered mountains and rolling grass land where hundreds of bison freely roam and tempt visitors to stop their cars for a photo shoot. Also spotted on the loop were antelope and a few deer and turkeys.
The final major attraction, as the group began their long journey home, was a tour of Wind Cave, the first cave designated as a National Park in 1903. This cave is noted for its boxwork and frostwork. The cave proved a cooling respite as the Riders continued through the near 100 degree temperatures of the trip. The route home took them over the Continental Divide and into some wonderful mountain scenery through Colorado with a stay in Craig and a walk-through of Steamboat Springs.
Road weary after more than 2,000 miles of hot days and no rain on the road, the San Rafael chapter diverged at Vernal where the Grants headed south and home, and the Worthens went north to visit children and get McKayla to Salt Lake in time to march with Emery High band in the Days of 47 Parade.
The San Rafael Chapter of the TRA invites interested motorcyclists in the area to join in on some shorter rides as the fall season approaches and enjoy the security of traveling with a group and enjoying the magical freedom of seeing the world from the back of a bike. Interested riders can contact Ralph Worthen 384-2317 or JJ Grant 748-2997 to find out the next scheduled rides or to join the TRA.

Last week, researchers at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences published an editorial online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, warning us of the dangers of prolonged sitting.
Dr. Elin Ekblom-Bak and colleagues note the benefits of regular physical activity for several major health diseases is clear and unanimous, but warn that recent studies suggest that prolonged bouts of sitting time and lack of whole-body muscular movement can undo some of the benefits even for someone who is considered "in shape."
The editorial mentions a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years. Peter Katzmarzyk and colleagues found people who sat more had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
Our bodies are designed to be active. I, like many of you, sit too much. It's a hazard of our jobs and our hobbies. It is important to do as Dr. Ekblom-Bak says: "It is important to have a five minute break from desk work every 45 minutes."
I don't have to give up my computer time or my sewing/knitting or my reading or my TV. What I have to do (and what you should do) is make a conscious effort to remember to stand up and move for a few minutes ever 30-45 minutes of prolonged sitting.
When watching TV, use the commercials as reminders. It's a great time to get up and stretch or do a few lunges or maybe a jumping jack or two.
In my sewing room, I have to get up when I need to press seams. This breaks up the sitting time. I don't always have automatic "breaks" when knitting, reading, or using the computer. I have to remind myself to do so.
Last week, Dr Anonymous posted Warning: Sitting Can Kill You and included the video of R.E.M.'s song Stand. How about David Bowie's Let's Dance? Anyone want to join me?

Skip to comments.FOX CABLE NEWS IS REPORTING 24 3RD GRADERS HAVE PERISHED IN OKLAHOMA.
Posted on 05/20/2013 4:54:37 PM PDT by stockpirate
Watching Fox now, they are reporting that in Moore Oklahoma a school collapse has taken the lives of 24 3rd graders.
Dear Lord, please comfort them.
Ask a stupid question I guess, but why don't they put shelters in these schools?
God help the families.
Two schools were hit and destroyed, in one no one died, in the second they are no longer doing rescue, they are doing search and recovery for the 24 children.
Prayers for each lost soul, their families and community.
Casey at a 7/11. One dead in lot. A mother and baby dead trying to make it into cooler They're trying to locate one more
Casey pretty upset
They do have shelters in some schools, but they only had less then a 15 minute warning.
Those poor families. My heart goes out to them.
Not funny right now!
Good God.....
Weather channel is now saying 30. 6 Children drowned in the school.
I'm watching Fox now. Devastating. So very horrible.
What a horrible story. I wager that the outcome would have been different had we been teaching kids to run like hell rather than shelter in place.
Amen. What is wrong with some people.?
F5s aren't hurricanes. You need bomb shelters to survive. They may have been in a basement. God help these people.
All they usually do is have the kids sit in hallways with their heads between their knees, at least that's what we did as kids in Michigan.
This tornado was so bad, though, that the school probably just exploded, would not have mattered where anyone was. Happened to Lake School District in Ohio a few years ago—obliterated. Fortunately there was no school that day.
Not funny.
Anyone other than Fox confirm this?
A tragedy that will be perverted by the press with a Sandy Hook comparison.
Just damn. I teach 3rd grade in Texas.
Heard a report earlier that addressed the ground there. Evidently there is a layer of top soil, and then there's an almost impenetrable layer under that. Evidently very few homes have the traditional storm shelters in Oklahoma. (basement involved)
I'm not saying it's true, but that was a comment made on one of the afternoon talk shows in Los Angeles (KFI).
Sorry but you can't run from them, it was 2 miles wide..
I know this is no time for politics, but after this week I have to wonder if the Feds are going to factor in past activities when they decide who gets what disaster relief.
Pray for the victims and our country.
Up to TWENTY-FOUR children feared dead in rubble of flattened elementary school after giant TWO-MILE tornado rips through densely-populated suburb of Oklahoma City
Oh.....Lotsa prayers for all those broken hearts.
You don't run from an F5 on foot. You go to ground and pray. Everything in the open is shredded.
run where? 200 mph winds and a half mile wide?
24? NO. Please....
God bless my fellow Okies.
How soon before these deaths will be blamed on the Republican's sequester cutting "vital" funds from weather warnings systems? I am certain Obama is preparing for a trip to Oklahoma for a photo op and will like in the wake of hurricane Sandy promise all kinds of federal aid which will never arrive.
Zero is ecstatic for the distraction from 0bamagate.
OMG. :*(*** Those precious babies.
In this case, the direct hit, combined with the power of the event likely made a lot this irrelevant.
It is being reported on the local NBC affiliate KFOR also.
Yes, from the reports I saw, 75 students and faculty were in a hallway. The hallway no longer exists. I hope I'm wrong but I predict the death toll to continue to rise.
Prayers for those poor families.
The wind speed was over 200 MPH, makes everything a bullet.
Weather channel repeated again 30 Children. 6 Drowned.
You coulda quit right there, but nnoooooooooo....
Get ready for your carbon tax.
Prayers for the families.
Smith on Fox just said that they have recovered six or seven little ones already and that they had drowned...Dear Lord!

"Gels can be great tools to enhance the look of your flash photographs– they can be used to creatively change the light or to match the look of another light in the frame. Most of the time when I pick up my flash for use off camera (OCF), I gel my flash to a certain color to change the color of the light that strikes my subject. Usually the effect is subtle, but you can also use gels to dramatically alter the light as well."
"How do we change light? One great little package of accessories to help us is made by a clever company called ExpoImaging, Inc., which makes the Rogue Flashbender system. They make a most interesting and creative series of individual items that combine to give you a kit of interweaving products. We use these to reflect light, bounce light, bend it; we can add color; we can soften light or focus it. Let's look at a few of the individual components and then how they can work to help you manipulate light."
"I have found the Rogue product line to be simple yet versatile, giving you total control for your lighting requirements when used with your portable flash heads. They are durable and light, easily packed into the smallest of camera bags and ready for use. Best of all they are self contained and do not require you to stick or glue things onto your flash heads. I highly recommend the system to all photographers who need to control or modify the light from their flash heads."
"The kit consists of twenty (20!) different gels which can change the color of the light beaming from the flash. You can tweak the light to make it a little warmer or colder, or go all-out with bright greens and blues to make people look like aliens, or add Instagrammatical effects without the Instagram."
"This is a great little kit to get your toes wet with gels – simple, no fuss, and works as advertised. I especially appreciated the ease of use here, and the included filter storage wallet is a nice touch in an era where it seems every accessory requires me to fork over more cash."
"Overall, I was impressed with every aspect of the Rogue gels. The packaging, the f/stop loss info, and the variety of the filters was empowering."
This article is available as a pdf attachment for download. This article also appeared in the December 2011 issue of Professional Photographer.
"Photographers are discovering the joys of playing with multiples suns and also with the rainbow. So Expoimaging created a portable rainbow."
"...Rogue Gels are in our opinion, the best solution available. Smart, simple, and super convenient, Rogue gels deserve a (small) place in your bag."
"I use gels all the time in my photography and you can never have too many. The new Rogue Gel Kits make it easy to have a broad selection of colored gels, organized and ready to use at a moment's notice."
"Rogue Gels have the best labels that give you very useful info about the filters, and with the included pouch and quick reference dividers, it's easy to stay organized. On top of that, Rogue Gel Kits deliver the best value for the money, about half the price of an equivalent Honl Photo Gel System."

Skip to comments.Drudge editor Joseph Curl: CIA source says still one more shoe to drop for Obama admin
Posted on 05/14/2013 7:45:02 AM PDT by Perdogg
According to Drudge editor and Washington Times columnist Joseph Curl, the pouring rain aint over yet. He says a CIA source revealed another shoe could drop.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
FYI: CIA source says still one more shoe to drop. Yes, four shoes. Dead ambassador, tapped phones, IRS probes. Will it be worse? Can it be?!— joseph curl (@josephcurl) May 14, 2013
We've been saying that for a few days now here on FR. Wondering what it is.
Why do I have a feeling that Petraeus is about to come forward?
Obie must have ticked off the CIA real bad . . .
Do the Bushes still have friends in the CIA? Right now I am hoping so.
The name play on Petraeus may prove to haunt the WH.
"Obie must have ticked off the CIA real bad . . ."
Yep..and the Clintons too..
Hitlery will reveal that Webb Hubell is the father of her daughter?
Pull back the covers Reggie...expose the pres..
I'd say that's the pivot point. He threw the CIA under the bus, re: talking points edits; he dispensed Patreaus with a scandal.
I would say that the folks over in nice offices at Langley are not happy about this.
This next shoe could be a size 17, 6E vibram soled monster.
Yep, and Glenn Beck has it. And he will produce it anytime soon.
Just keep watching "The Blaze" or clicking on Drudge.
I've tired of this game. Either you have it or you don't. If you produce, you have it. If you "tease", you are FOS.
Maybe Bush 41, but not 43 at the CIA. According to reports, the CIA was Bush Campaign HQ in 1979/1980. The DIA might be different.
this is a HUGH MANATEE!!
where is that Manatee???
He's done so well for us, it's time to share!
If it's related to Petraeus, I hope it has to do with the criminal ROE's are ground troops are required to observe in a combat zone.
IIRC Curl is one who has been saying that Petraeus may yet have something more to say about Benghazi-gate. He knows a lot of stuff, and is pretty much outside their control now. What's he got to lose, his reputation? Maybe a chance to redeem himself a bit?
If it's related to Petraeus, I hope it has to do with the criminal ROE's OUR ground troops are required to observe in a combat zone.
1) It will be worse for Obama&Co. ==> Fast&Furious, Benghazi cover-up did not touch Obama as it should have been, not only due to media black outs. I suspect nothing is beneath these Alinsky thugs-in-charge. Their motto has been 'to punish your enemy' (i.e. conservatives, tea party). Nothing revealed so far had direct impact on the daily lives of not just working Americans but Obama/Holder's people.
2) Can it be? ==> Not much hope there. Americans will do their best to ignore more bad news for Obama as background noise. It is simply just too bad.
I keep hoping.
As president, Obama has not been a mere corrupt human being, he's been a giant centipede, so we can expect many more shoes to drop, not just one.
Prob is, that VJ was running the Country the Night of the Benghazi attack and she was the one that gave the Stand Down Order.
LOL @ Imelda Marcos closet.
I actually sense this there is the birth certificate and something else, and something else and perhaps something else.
It is going to be an interesting summer.
That would be one big shoe!
My only other shoe would be that Obama bails so he doesn't get impeached while still in office.
Just hope it's not an Imelda Marcos amount of shoes
I've always though that Petraeus outed his scandle himself to avoid being under the thumb of the administration.
It certainly makes sense. I hope he does.
Speaking of ROE's, four more American soldiers were killed today in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb.
They're handcuffed over there. Sitting ducks.
The ability to save this country from lawless tyranny is now in Petraeus's hands...will he heed the call?
I say yes...he is fixing to unload. We will see.
Just heard snippets of that self serving *rick, Pickering on Jerry Rivers' radio show. Pathetic.
Big deal.
After Holder and Obama got away with Fast and Furious, betraying Egypt, and waging a private war against Libya, what makes anyone think that the Obama Regime will pay for treason at Benghazi, First and Fourth Amendment violations at AP or using the IRS as their own personal enforcer?
The Pubbies don't have the guts or balls to do anything effective, the Democrats are too partisan and corrupt to do anything but protect fellow Democrats, and the military has been purged of any flag level officers who might remove Obama with a coup.
Memo to anyone thinking about running for POTUS.
Don't EVER EVER EVER EVER p*ss off your spooks.
They possess extraordinary egos, and a strong revenge motive. And they know where all of your bodies are buried.
Of course that is followed by the filler of screams, explosions, blood spewing, mortars, and rape, but some beautiful sounds don't come free ya know.
Yes and now maybe the medial will be investigating some of these questions: grades in college, name on college application forms, sources of financing for Occidential, Columbia, and Harvard Law School.
lol... or,
Trayvon Martin IS Obama's son.
Clinton can not be the father of Chelsea. When it came out that a black hooker was saying her son was Clinton's he reportedly said to her "that can't be my son- I had the mumps when I was little" (mumps can make you sterile)
The media was all focused on whether the DNA would match (it didn't) but skipped completely over any question about him screwing black whores.
Well if they are going to overcome the affair and work on their marriage...she will want the info to come out.
If they are divorcing...she is irrelevant.
If Barry told Val to take care of things because he was going to bed, and she gave the "stand down" order, well, it's over for this administration.
Who gave that order?? That's the question that needs answering.
I wonder if he'll admit to the possibility of gun running to Syria?
haha yeah!
I hope you're right. General Petraeus is someone who is already well known, and, despite his affair which led to his resignation, has a great deal of credibility with the American people. The media can't ignore him.
If anyone knows where the skeletons are buried, it would be Petraeus.

February 27, 2013
SPRINGFIELD – Lt. Governor Sheila Simon's Firearms Working Group met today with experts in trauma, mental health care, domestic violence prevention and public health fields to learn how gun laws affect quality of life issues.
The working group, comprised of freshmen Senators and Representatives from across the state, is meeting with stakeholders on all sides of the gun safety debate as the General Assembly considers Illinois' first law to allow Illinoisans to carry concealed firearms.
"The intersection of guns and domestic violence can be tragic," said Simon, a lawyer who has prosecuted domestic battery cases. "As the General Assembly considers gun legislation, it is important that we balance public safety with our Second Amendment right."
The working group met with experts from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Network, the Center for Prevention of Abuse in Peoria, the Illinois Association of Court Clerks and the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The meeting comes one day after the House began discussing significant gun reforms, including dozens of firearms-related amendments filed to House Bill 1155. Illinois has until June to pass a law that permits people to carry concealed guns in public spaces.
Currently Illinois is the only state in the nation with a law that bans carrying concealed firearms. The law was declared unconstitutional in December by a three-member panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and the state was given 180 days to pass a constitutional law.
Over the next month, the working group will continue meeting with stakeholders on all sides of the debate – from hunters to law enforcement to education professionals – to promote dialogue and work toward consensus on pending legislation. Please visit www.ltgov.il.gov/guns for additional information about the working group.

The Federal Trade Commission has notified shoe brand Cole Haan it should have disclosed that shoppers were offered an incentive to pin items on Pinterest. Consumers who did pin Cole Haan images were entered into a contest to win a $1,000 gift card. The agency is not penalizing Cole Haan because it's just now clarifying this policy.
The Federal Trade Commission for the first time defined disclosure rules related to contests that encourage consumers to pass along content on social networks. Put simply, if a contest requires consumers to share something for a chance to win a prize, that needs to be disclosed in every post.
Mary K. Engle, the FTC's associate director for advertising practices, defined the agency's stance in a letter she sent last month to Cole Haan.
The multichannel shoe retailer recently ran a contest on Pinterest that offered shoppers a chance to win a $1,000 gift card if they created a Pinterest board featuring five images of their "favorite places to wander" along with five images from a Cole Haan board, tagging each with the hashtag #WanderingSole.
The problem, Engle writes, is that the shoppers entering the contest were endorsing Cole Haan's products for the chance to win a prize, but the retailer didn't require them to disclose their motivation.
"Entry into a contest to receive a significant prize in exchange for endorsing product through social media constitutes a material connection that would not reasonably be expected by viewers of the endorsement," Engle writes.
By sending the letter, the FTC is publicly underscoring its rule that advertisers and marketers require contest entrants to disclose when any content is posted or promoted for commercial purposes, or if it there is any incentivize for the individual to share a post, says Eric Goldman, an Internet and advertising law professor and director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University.
While the letter continues the FTC's battle against "inauthentic content," it is also crazy, he says.
"The position is over-reaching at best," Goldman says. "Cole Haan didn't give entrants a freebie, it didn't pay them to set up a board, it just gave them the chance for a prize. The FTC's position is that the boards were advertising because they were done with a financial motivation. But we know better. Most entrants were deep brand loyalists who were excited about expressing their relationship with the brand and the contest was an afterthought. Telling those fans that their brand loyalty is advertising is a foreign concept to those fans."
While the move won't likely have a "chilling effect" on social media contests, it will force marketers to change their practices to comply with the law, says Rebecca Lieb, an analyst at The Altimeter Group.
"As marketers move into new digital channels, they often tend to ignore or overlook this," Lieb says. "As with e-mail and search in the past, marketers are being strongly encouraged by the FTC to develop best practices and guidelines. We've seen this happen before, and will continue to see it whenever there's a major new channel or platform."
The FTC says it will not fine or penalize Cole Haan for its violation because this is the first time it has publicly addressed whether a Pinterest pin constitutes an endorsement.
The letter says that after the FTC began investigating Cole Haan's contest, the retailer adopted a social media policy that addresses the agency's concerns. Cole Haan could not be reached for immediate comment.

The Effect of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009 on Consumer Credit
David S. Evans
Global Economics Group; University College London
Joshua D. Wright
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty
January 7, 2010
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 09-50
Loyola Consumer Law Review, Vol. 22, No. 3, 2010, pp. 277-335
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has submitted the Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009 to Congress for the purpose of overhauling consumer financial regulation. This study has examined the likely effect of the Act on the availability of credit to American consumers. To do so we have examined the legislation in detail to assess how it would alter current consumer protection regulation, reviewed the rationales provided for the new legislation by those who designed its key features, considered why consumers borrow money and benefit from doing so, and reviewed the factors behind the expansion of credit availability over the last thirty years. Based on our analysis we have concluded that the CFPA Act of 2009 would make it harder and more expensive for consumers to borrow. Under plausible yet conservative assumptions the CFPA would:
• increase the interest rates consumers pay by at least 160 basis points;
• reduce consumer borrowing by at least 2.1 percent; and,
• reduce the net new jobs created in the economy by 4.3 percent.
By reducing borrowing the Act would also reduce consumer spending that further drives job creation and economic growth. In addition to restricting the availability of credit over the long term, the CFPA Act of 2009 would also slow the recovery from the deep recession the economy is now in by reducing borrowing, spending, and business formation.
The financial crisis has surfaced a number of serious consumer financial protection problems that were not dealt with adequately by federal regulators. Rather than proposing expeditious and practical reforms that can deal with those problems, the Treasury Department has put forward a proposal that would disrupt current regulatory agency efforts to deal with these issues.
This paper focuses on the CFPA Act that the Administration introduced in July 2009. House Finance Committee Chairman Frank has proposed changes to this Act which the Treasury Secretary Geithner appears to be willing to accept. However, given that these changes could be reversed or other changes could be made as the legislation works its way through Congress, we focus on the Administration's original bill rather than a moving target. Chairman Frank's proposed changes do not significantly alter any of our conclusions.

|Signum Pro Firestorm String Scores
|String Movement
|Playability Duration
Signum Pro Firestorm is made primarily from polyester, a firm and low-powered substance that delivers unmatched control, spin and durability to big hitters. However, as many recreational and club players have reported, polyester can sometimes feel too stiff and underpowered. Firestorm addresses these issues with special additives designed to increase comfort and power. According to our playtest team, those additives work, and they help explain why we experienced such impressive levels of playability, feel and pop. While this friendlier response should give Firestorm broader appeal, it is worth noting that Chris, our resident fan of traditional dead polys, discovered a downside in the form of less control. On the spin front, this co-poly gave our team good pocketing and effective spin, though neither of our playtesters liked it more than their "go to" spin strings. As for string tension, our two big hitters had to string this one tighter (especially Chris) in order to achieve the control they needed to execute full swings. All in all, Firestorm looks like a great option for the player who wants the benefits of a durable monofilament but could use a little extra comfort and power.
Our team found Firestorm to be very lively for a poly-based string. In fact, it proved a little too lively for Chris, who said, "This was one of the more powerful co-poly strings I've hit. I found very easy access to both depth and pace with this string. On my first outing I found it too powerful and my control suffered. I subsequently strung it both tighter and in a more control oriented racquet. I liked the response much more in a racquet with an 18x20 string pattern and a low powered response. In such a set up, this string added some nice juice to my shots. Even at a higher tension, the string still felt pretty soft and powerful, especially given that this is a co-poly."
"Firestorm offers a very lively feel and is quite powerful for a polyester," said Andy, who, unlike Chris, tends to prefer livelier polys. He added, "You can really feel the ball jumping off the stringbed. I actually found I had to increase my tension a couple of pounds to harness a bit of the power and get the control that I needed. The high-powered response made it a great string to complement a low-powered, control-oriented racquet like my Yonex RDiS 100 Mid."
Though Firestorm doesn't have quite the bite of a Volkl Cyclone or Solinco Tour Bite, it did give our two players more than adequate spin. Requiring some minor tension adjustments, Andy said, "There is nice ball grab with this string, but the spin potential isn't anything out of the ordinary. Since the string is nice and lively I had to increase the tension a little bit in order to harness the power enough to feel confident in taking a big swing at the ball, which is the best way to generate spin. The ball sinks into the strings nicely, so when you do take a big rip at it you are rewarded with good spin."
Finding some good pocketing was Chris, who offered, "Once I had the power dialed in I was better able to access the spin potential of this string, as I was feeling confident again on a full, fast swing. I liked how this string pocketed the ball, and I was getting decent grab from it. While it was not as spin-friendly for me as my regular Volkl Cyclone, the spin I was finding was pretty solid. For whatever reason, I never found quite the hook on my shots that I expected considering how well this string pockets the ball. Spin was decent, but I didn't get the spin to explode off the stringbed like I can with other co-poly strings. As a result, I struggled occasionally with depth control on approach shots."
Our team was definitely impressed by the comfort level of this firm monofilament string. For Andy, the friendly feel of Firestorm was simply undeniable. He said, "Comfort proved to be the most noticeable feature of Firestorm to me. It turned out to be an extremely comfortable co-poly with a great soft, plush feel. It felt great in a low-powered midsize racquet and a stiffer, more powerful frame. If you're a fan of polyesters but are looking for something soft and comfortable, look no further!"
Chris also experienced above average comfort, saying, "I found this string to be very comfortable for a co-poly. It felt like it was pocketing the ball exceptionally well. The overall response was soft and lively, and it reminded me a little of Volkl Cyclone Tour and Topspin Cyber Flash. Polyfibre Cobra offers a similarly soft feel, but is not as powerful for me. As you might have guessed, comfort was never an issue for me. I also liked the fact that this string felt comfortable for the duration of the test. I'm into week four and still hitting the string, which is almost unheard of for me with a poly based string."
As a lively co-poly, Firestorm did not provide our team with the ultra low-powered control they typically get from the firmer, more traditional polys. As a result, Chris had to tinker with the tension to tame the pop. He said, "I didn't find quite the control I was seeking with this string. I like poly based strings for their low power and their very control oriented feel. This one was just a tad too lively for me, and I had to find a suitable racquet with which to dial down its power. I was able to adjust to the string's response for the most part, but I still had issues with the ball flying deeper than expected. I like polys because I don't have to worry about the ball flying on me. However, I found myself adjusting the tension higher in order to chase that feeling with this string."
Andy also increased the tension but was decidedly more enthusiastic about Firestorm's control. He said, "I was surprised at the level of control I was receiving with this string given how soft and powerful it was. I never felt like the string had any "hot spots," where I'd just lose the ball off the strings, so I always felt confident knowing where the ball was going. Increase the tension a couple of pounds to harness the added power and you'll find a great blend of power and control from this co-poly."
Firestorm maintained its playability remarkably well for Chris, who said, "This turned out to be one of the longer playing co-polys I've tested. The longevity may be due to the higher reference tension I used, but comfort was never an issue for me over a four week test -- very impressive for a poly. Also, I didn't lose much control and the string had a gradual drop in its response that required little adjustment. If I had continued to use a powerful racquet with a more open string pattern then control may have been more of an issue, but in the 18x20 pattern with a 95sq. inch head, it played solid throughout."
Contrary to Chris, Andy noticed a drop in playability toward the end of the playtest. He said, "The trade-off for softness and comfort is typically playability duration, and Firestorm is no different. I did feel like the string lost playability, especially it's lively feel, in a little under two weeks. It seemed to go a bit dead, which wasn't necessarily bad because I got a little added control as the strings dropped in tension over time. However, there was a noticeable change in playability in a somewhat short period of time."
Chris - "I would recommend this to the player who wants the durability of a poly but with a bit more pop and comfort. If you are looking for a co-poly that pockets the ball well and offers some nice jump off the stringbed, this is for you. It would also make a great hybrid with a firmer poly to help liven and soften a firmer, deader playing string."
Andy - "This is an awesome string for the player who likes softer, livelier polyester strings. It's also a great "starter poly" for people taking their first dive into the world of polyesters. This one is soft, comfortable, and extremely accessible to a wide variety of players."
Andy - "I loved the lively response and soft, comfortable feel. You feel very connected to the ball with Firestorm."
Chris - "I liked the comfort and how long it lasted."
Andy - "Other than wanting the playability to last a little longer, nothing really! I really enjoyed this string!"
Chris - "Just not enough control for me. This string was powerful and I ended up 10lbs higher in tension than I normally use to help add control."
Andy - "This felt a lot like Topspin CyberFlash to me in that they are both soft, comfortable and very lively strings. Also, it's a little like Luxilon ALU Power Silver, but Firestorm is softer, more powerful and doesn't feel as crisp. Great string, and definitely worth a try!"
Chris - "Other strings that offer some pop like this one would be Cyclone Tour and Topspin Cyber Flash. Gosen Sidewinder is just a tad crisper, but almost as lively. On the other hand, Polyfibre Cobra feels equally soft to me, but is lower powered."

The Vaughn Velocity V5 7800 Pro goalie leg pads offer outstanding features and protection for roller hockey and ice hockey goalies alike. The dual breaks and rounded knee rolls offer a traditional feel that is extremely flexible and offers goaltenders maximum mobility.
The VPG 7800 leg pads replace the Vaughn Velocity 7600 and have new design features offering you more performance. Vaughn is using a new knee cradle design with a hinged outside flex panel and angled strapping that allows for better pad rotation and protection. The goalie leg pad channel has been optimized for pad rotation and a comfortable fit. Vaughn is using new Velocity V5 graphics on the face of the leg pads designed to confuse the shooter and make the goalkeeper seem larger. As a new feature on these pads Vaughn designed a new wider outside leg protector that offers complete leg coverage. The inside edge has also been redesigned with high density foams making the edge firmer giving the hockey goalie improved five hole coverage. Vaughn is using new pad internals that have refined increasing durability, while maintaining the shape and height intact longer. New five-hole landing pad is thicker and is configured for improved balance.
The Vaughn V5 7800 leg pads are built using pro spec construction and the retail leg pads are made exactly like the pros. High quality materials are used throughout ensuring maximum durability and protection. Internally, the 7800 leg pad has a high density foam core and is padded with Vaughn's Flex-Pac system giving goalkeepers additional flex at the ankle. The inner roll liner is made from the same synthetic leather as the face, and lightweight woven nylon fabric is used on the outer edge. On the outer edge of the pads, Vaughn's logo is stitched on offering a professional look. The inner lining material is made from lightweight nylon, while knee cradle, leg and boot channels are lined with Vaughn's proprietary MSH3 synthetic material. Nylon, and a breathable mesh material are used to cover the molded thigh guard assuring a comfortable fit.
The Vaughn 7800 leg pad is designed for hockey goalies that prefers a more flexible traditional feel. A flat faced flexible design gives goalies more control over rebounds and the rounded knee rolls offer more impact dampening. The outer roll has three breaks, one above the knee, one below the knee and one at the ankle allowing for additional flex. Protecting the upper thigh is the integrated molded thigh guard and elastic adjustable strap. Securing the upper portion of the pad is two adjustable nylon straps with plastic buckles. The pro width knee cradle is secured with a dual elastic strap that will help keep the knee safe and secure within the pad. Their are 3 leather calf wrap straps with metal buckles that keep the lower leg in place. Keeping the lower portion of the pad in place is 1 leather boot strap along with toe bridge and toe tie laces.

Emery High Drama Department will present its first play of the season with a Halloween comedy musical entitled "Dracula The Musical?" This hilarious presentation will be Oct. 29, and 30 beginning at 7:30 p.m. and will be performed at the Emery High Auditorium.
This play is the musical story of Count Dracula's attempt to take over the Seward Family Insane Asylum and Dr. Van Helsing's attempts to stop him. It contains all of the cliches associated with vampires including the ability to turn into a bat and to not be seen in a mirror. The characters are also cliches of every vampire movie ever made. Kip Huffaker is Dr. Sam Seward the owner of the mental institution. His wife, Sophie Seward, is played by Kelsie Anderson and their daughter Mina is Michelle Johansen. They are visited by a family friend, the lovely but romantically desperate Bubu Padoop, played by Monica Weihing. Also running around the asylum are the family maid, Nelly Norton, portrayed by Sarah Jorgensen and Boris Renfield, a patient, starring Seth Cox. Dr. Van Helsing, the vampire hunter, is Matt Harrison and the evil Count Dracula is Chris Keller.Mina's boyfriend, Jonathan Harker, is Jacob Bawden.
The play was written by Rick Abbot who also wrote the music and lyrics. The music is fun; the story is funny; and the characters are a riot. Though this is about vampires it is definitely "G" rated family entertainment. The characters would like to be scary but they are just too silly to manage it.
The set for this production has been built entirely by the Emery High Stage Crew and the Emery High Drama Department. Besides the main characters there are several more students involved who play lunatics and villagers. This production is presented through a special arrangement of Samuel French, Inc. of New York. Music is provided by pianists Marilee Cox and Seth Bott and the play is under the direction of Neal Peacock. This will be the 92nd play that Neal has produced/directed and the 22nd musical. He has received a lot of help from Marilee Cox and Natalie Blackwell who have helped with the vocal development.
Dracula the Musical? will be the first play of the season but certainly not the last. In November the Emery High Drama Department will present the musical - The Fantastiks - which was at one time the longest running play on Broadway. The dates for that production are November 21, 22, 23. The drama department plans on producing six plays this year including a contest play and also participating in several drama competitions including region.
Tickets for Dracula the Musical? can be purchased at the door or in advance from Emery High Drama students.

Triple-Testing Philosophy™
"For over 35 years my philosophy has been that no one is too sick to recover their health. And when I partnered with Healthy Directions, I knew they stood behind me on this. Their mission—to help you lead a healthier, happier life—is backed by their commitment to deliver only the highest quality products to help get you there."
Our Triple-Testing Philosophy™
When it comes to quality, we don't just talk the talk…we walk the walk. Every product receives our three-step approach to testing with our Triple-Testing Philosophy™:
Step 1: Rigorous Screening of Raw Materials
Step 2: 100% Finished Goods Batch Testing
Step 3: Independent Laboratory Testing
We start with a full-time team dedicated to Quality Control…
We don't farm out Quality Control (QC)—we have a dedicated, passionate group of employees who spend their days checking and double checking paperwork to make sure every "I" is dotted and every "T" is crossed, ensuring that vendor qualifications and certifications are up to date and accurate. They also make sure all our bottles are safe, tamper-proof, and easy to open.
Why it matters: We're not cutting corners to save on cost when it comes to quality. Our QC team members are personally invested in their work—and ultimately making sure you receive the highest quality supplements that are 100% safe and effective.
Every product goes through our Triple-Testing Philosophy™
Our Triple-Testing Philosophy™ goes well beyond industry standards (including what the FDA requires) to help us maintain our spotless safety record and our reputation for having exceptionally effective products. Here's how it works…
Step 1:
Rigorous Screening of Raw Materials
Every product's raw materials are checked for identity, quality, purity, and potency. And we mean every product—long before it is ever packaged and delivered to your doorstep. In fact, all potential suppliers of raw materials must provide a Certificate of Independent Laboratory Analysis showing their material meets at least 15 detailed items on our checklist. This certificate is provided with EVERY shipment of raw materials we receive and ensures our manufacturers are receiving only the highest quality ingredients from reputable suppliers.
Why it matters: Our rigorous screening helps ensure you're putting only the most pure and clean ingredients into your body. Plus, our doctors take the time to search out the most natural, potent, and safe ingredients to formulate their supplements—it's our duty to make sure these ingredients are the highest of quality before they even make it into production.
Step 2:
100% Finished Goods Batch Testing
Label claims and purity specifications are checked using strict inspections throughout the production process—for EVERY batch. This means that at multiple steps throughout production, we're checking that the product contains exactly what is promised on the label, and the purity of each product is exactly what it should be.
Why it matters: What you need is what you get. This step ensures that what's on the label is exactly what's in the bottle, every time—with full potency all the way through the product's well-marked expiration date.
Step 3:
Independent Laboratory Testing
Each supplement is sent off to a third-party lab to make sure it meets purity and potency specifications for optimal efficacy. Yes, this means men and women in white lab coats, who have no association with Healthy Directions, are checking every supplement to make sure it meets our exacting standards. This isn't required by the FDA—it's just an extra step we take to ensure you're getting the best possible quality in every dose.
Why it matters: Our QC team does an amazing job. But when it comes to your health and safety, we leave absolutely nothing to chance. That's why we take this extra step of sending our supplements off to an independent lab for verification. It's just one more way we're committed to delivering on our Quality Promise.
When You're Healthy, We're Happy…
We insist on all of this (which exceeds FDA standards) to bring you the best quality supplements, at the best value, for an overall healthier, happier you.

Nando's are no strangers to joking with everyone and everything in their ad campaigns, but there's one thing they take seriously: threats to their own staff. A youth group loyal to Mr Mugabe has threatened Nado's staff after the Last Dictator standing aired, and Nando's has decided to pull the ad from airing reports BBC.
A statement from Nando's said: "We've noted with concern the political reaction emanating out of Zimbabwe, including perceived threats against Nando's Zimbabwe's management, staff and customers."
