Best Casual Shoe
"I love my Keds. This is actually my second time ordering these shoes and I wore my other pair so much I wore them out. They are perfect for running around town, and are comfortable on your feet. I usually don't wear these with socks, but if I'm going to do a lot of walking, I will throw a pair on. The shoe is a bit narrow, but they do stretch a little over time. I would totally recommend."

Best Multipurpose Shoe
"I have been wanting a new pair of Keds for a while now, and was excited when I saw they came out with a beige color. The fit is absolutely perfect. I wear a 6.5 and ordered that. They could seem a bit narrow for some, but my feet are pretty average width and they fit great. These are the best shoes for dresses/pants/shorts. They honestly go great with everything and are comfortable to wear all day. The mint color looks cute too (I'll probably be buying that next!) The only thing that was wrong (which was not really wrong, just different) is that I would honestly call the color a light taupe instead of beige (more yellow undertone than pink). Either way, they still go with everything."

xRTML 3.0 Makes Websites Come "Alive"
Interview with Sergio Costa, Realtime developer evangelist
By: Xenia von Wedel
Nov. 17, 2012 12:00 PM
Hi Sergio, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions It's been only half a year since the release of xRTML 2.0 - how significant an advance is the 3.0 release?
Sergio Costa, Realtime Developer Evangelist: xRTML 2.0 was a release we did with a lot of core changes that we felt were necessary at the time. It was something too big to be a minor release so we decided to increase the major release and launch it as 2.0. This new release, 3.0, introduces a lot of new and exciting features, such as the new templating model, storage, new inheritance model and versioning, and it's a real breakthrough for our framework. If I could, I would even name it 4.0 or 5.0! But I think people would think we were nuts if we skipped a version.
With the 2.0 release the "M" in xRTML came to stand for "multiplatform" rather than "markup" - does 3.0 continue that trend?
Costa: It does. xRTML is not just about the Web. The release we did right now was all about the JavaScript (Web) version but we are hard at work to bring all the other APIs up to speed with great features.
What are the most important enhancements in xRTML 3.0?
Costa: I would say the core changes, the templating system and storage. These three alone make for a lot of hours of coding and really bring xRTML to a new level. Of course, all the other new features, such as metadata and tag inheritance, are important-and very handy-but the three ones I named, for me, are the most amazing ones. The xRTML team really did a wonderful job.
Did developer feedback play a significant role in the xRTML 3.0 design?
Costa: Definitely! We built the Realtime Framework and xRTML with developers in mind and we are always trying to gather their feedback to see how we can improve these tools and get them to work better and faster. We are developers ourselves so we know how important it is to have a good framework that lets you build your applications comfortably, securely and fast. Developers have a major role in our build process as we are listening and trying to solve issues that may rise up and cope with their needs.
Does xRTML 3.0 lower the learning curve for creating Realtime apps?
Costa: That's the whole reason for the existence of xRTML. Developers can start building their Realtime applications in literally a matter of minutes. They can start seeing results immediately with little effort and without having to learn a massive, complicated framework.
We see that the new storage layer is a beta release - is xRTML now a mature platform or is it still a work in progress?
Costa: Both. xRTML is very much a mature product, although we are always trying to evolve it and make it better and easier to work with. Storage is something very new and we are planning on adding some interesting and exciting features to it that will further help developers build amazing applications. We decided to launch it as beta to get feedback from developers and build it using their suggestions. Again: developers are a huge part of how we develop our framework.
Does the contest for developers to submit their Realtime apps to a distinguished panel of judges signal a greater emphasis on community building and developer adoption?
Costa: The contest is something we wanted to do for some time, along with other events, but we decided to postpone for a few reasons. It is indeed a way for us to approach developers and incentivize them to use the framework and experiment with the technology. Developers who want to enter the contest should visit contest.xrtml.org and read all about it there. We have a great panel of judges and very cool prizes to give away.
We know we have great technology, we truly believe in it and in what the real time Web might be, and we now just need to get developers to give it a try, think about what they can do with it, and start creating the next-generation Web and mobile apps.
Does xRTML 3.0 make Realtime an established leader in Web 3.0 app development?
Costa: I like to think it does. Gartner already said that the Web 3.0 (or "the next Web," as they call it) is all about real-time Web, and xRTML 3.0 is the right set of tools to start building it.
How can Realtime keep ahead of the competition?
Costa: Realtime lets developers build all new features in websites-or update existing ones-that can create a real difference for a company and its website or application. We all know that users are king and they will use our services or products (websites or applications) instead of the competition's if they enjoy ours most. This is common sense. Realtime does just that: it lets you build features and get your users to enjoy a better experience, a new experience, and thus prefer you over your competition.
Will xRTML become a standard?
Costa: That's something we are now reinforcing in the market with this release. These updates and new releases are the basis for something bigger, including the release of new products.
What in the low-hanging fruit for xRTML 3.0?
Costa: There are several industries and areas that can take advantage of xRTML 3.0 and the Realtime Framework in general. The usual suspects are financial and monitoring applications, as well as social tools, but any content publishing website will certainly benefit by using Realtime and be able to push content out in real time to its visitors. Auction and any e-commerce websites are also great examples and they can do amazing things. Another area I personally would like to see expand is gaming. With Realtime, companies can develop multiplatform, multiplayer, social games. Players can play with or against other players, no matter the platform or device. I could be at home playing an HTML5 version of the game on my browser and my friends could be playing on their tablets or smartphones. Different platforms, same communication layer: Realtime!
How will Realtime use the $100 million investment announced in August to push platform development and adoption?
Costa: As defined in our strategy, this budget is being used to optimize and develop ourproducts, with great focus on R&D. Everything that was done and is still being made for xRTML 3.0 is actually a direct example of this investment.
Where do we go from here - what can we look forward to in xRTML 4.0?
Costa: With the help of the development community and the amazing people we have working here in Realtime, we can expect some very interesting new features and tools coming our way in a not-so-distant future. Just stay tuned!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Costa: I'd like to invite developers to head to our website at www.realtime.co, register as a developer and try our tutorials at www.xrtml.org. Get in touch with us, share your creations and help us build the next iteration of the World Wide Web!
We've created some great new tutorials and new documentation. These are are brand new and very exciting since they help developers to start working with xRTML right now. They're interactive so you can see how everything works.
The documentation is a bit more clear, better organized and has a complete new layout. Developers should find things better and should be able to use it easier.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Emery High Lady Spartans played well and looked good in securing two preseason matches last week. On Tuesday, Emery defeated North Sevier 3-1 in Castle Dale and then on Thursday, Emery traveled to Price and defeated the Lady Dinos 3-2.
After watching the Lady Spartans they usually start slow and they usually finish fast and hard. Last week was no different.
Against North Sevier, Emery won the first game 25-23. Emery was down 13-9 and took their first lead at 19-18. Emery lost game two 25-20 after falling behind 10-3. In games three and four, it was a whole different Emery. The Spartans won game three 25-15 and game four 25-12.
At Carbon, Emery lost game one 25-23 and then the Spartans lost game two 29-27. Emery then won the next three games to win the match. The scores were 25-22, 25-18 and 15-10. After losing a couple of games that were battles to the very end, the Spartans appeared to stun Carbon in dominating the final three games.
Seniors Hailee Rogers, Jessica Guymon, Shelby Allred and Jentrie Allred have blended together to help mold a team that appears to have the discipline and determination to win. Each will have their moment in a match where they will do something special to help their team secure the win.
Against North Sevier for example, Emery's final point in game one came off a cross-court bump by Shelby while in game three, Jessica scored the final point off a kill shot. In game four, Rogers had a kill shot for point 24 followed by another Guymon kill shot.
Also playing for Emery are juniors Sidnee Conder and Hannah Dyer along with sophomores Bailey Rasmussen, Cassidy Labrum and Ashlynn Allred. Each of these players brings their own special talents to the team and help make it better and fun to watch.
Emery hosts Gunnison on Tuesday night and Payson on Thursday night in games this week. Varsity is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. but the actual game time will depend on the length of the two earlier games.

Sabin: Why acquiring a more physical back might not cure Cowboys' rushing woes
Cowboys beat writer Rainer Sabin answered reader questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights:
If Felix Jones is gone, how do you feel about a second, much bigger back, in the later rounds? Someone like Alfred Morris?
Rainer Sabin: I don't think getting a bigger back is necessarily the answer. Marion Barber didn't exactly excel in Jason Garrett's offense. And Murray, when healthy, is physical. The Cowboys just need to commit more to the running game with the personnel that they have.
Are the Cowboys high on any of the defensive linemen that they recently signed to their practice squad?
Rainer Sabin: They're practice squad guys. I think expectations should be tempered with any player assigned to the practice squad.
Do you see them trading away Felix Jones before or during the draft?
Rainer Sabin: No, because Jones is a free agent.

Titian and the Golden Age of Venetian Art
- 22nd March − 14th September 2014
- Scottish National Gallery | Admission free
This exhibition celebrates the recent acquisition, jointly with the National Gallery in London, of two outstanding mythological paintings by Titian. The purchase of the first of these, Diana and Actaeon, was concluded in 2009, and that of its pair, Diana and Callisto, in 2012, and they have only recently gone back on display at the Scottish National Gallery.
Titian and the Golden Age of Venetian Art provides the National Galleries of Scotland with an opportunity to thank the organisations and individuals who contributed so generously to the acquisition of these hugely important and influential pictures. The exhibition draws on the Gallery's exceptionally rich collection of sixteenth-century Venetian paintings, drawings and prints to showcase and contextualise Titian's two Diana canvases, including works by Lorenzo Lotto, Palma Vecchio, Jacopo Bassano, Jacopo Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese. The loan of one additional, highly important painting by Titian – the Death of Actaeon from the National Gallery, London – has been secured. Technical information, comparative images and other interpretative material will enrich the visitor experience and provide deeper insights into the art of this exceptionally fertile creative period in Venice's history.
"Priceless. Nothing can stand up to the drama of them hanging together." The Scotsman
"This exhibition makes Edinburgh an essential art destination this spring and summer." Financial Times

Magnesium Broad-Spectrum Complex provides comprehensive coverage of an essential heart health nutrient
- Supports healthy circulation and blood flow
- Helps maintain normal blood pressure levels
- Promotes relaxation and dilation of blood vessels and arteries
- Supports muscle and nerve health
- Supports bone health by regulating calcium absorption
- Developed by integrative cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra
Magnesium is one of your body's most critical nutrients. It offers great heart and cardiovascular support, regulates calcium absorption to help maintain bone strength, and helps maintain proper muscle and nerve health. But its most important role is supporting your heart and entire cardiovascular system. That's why I've formulated my magnesium supplement, Magnesium Broad-Spectrum Complex , with 4 forms of magnesium that work most effectively.
Greater absorption of magnesium throughout your body
My Magnesium Broad-Spectrum Complex magnesium supplement includes orotate, citrate, glycinate, and taurinate forms. When it comes to bioavailability, I believe these forms are superior to other forms of magnesium. And greater bioavailability means that your body not only gets more of this wonderful mineral, but is better able to utilize it throughout your body. So, no matter how your metabolism works, you're covered!
Cardiologist-recommended amount of magnesium in every dose!
As important as the right forms of magnesium are, you need to make sure you are taking the right amount of magnesium every day. And, I believe that everyone, especially those people with specific heart or cardiovascular concerns, should be taking at least 400–800 mg of a broad-spectrum magnesium every day, regardless of how much magnesium you think you are getting in your diet. And with Broad Spectrum Magnesium Complex, you're getting a total of 400 mg, every day!
By taking the best forms of magnesium you are not only helping to support your heart, but also ensuring the health of your entire body.

Science and Quality
Magnesium is an essential nutrient that is necessary for many metabolic activities, including ATP energy production and promoting energy and physical endurance. It is essential for the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses and regulation of body temperature, It is involved in a least 325 different enzymatic reactions and scores of biological functions, including muscle contractions, sleep, growth, and healing.
Like calcium, magnesium is readily available through food. Good dietary sources include dairy products, fish, meat, and seafood. It is also abundant in many fruits and vegetables, and whole grains and herbs. Yet, most Americans do not consume enough of this important mineral, and deficiencies are common, particularly in the elderly. 1
Cardiovascular health
- Magnesium has therapeutic effects on the cardiovascular system.1, 2
- Epidemiological studies suggests that high dietary intake of magnesium is associated with healthy blood pressure.3, 4, 5
- Supplementation with magnesium (400 to 600 mg per day) has demonstrated significant effects in promoting and maintaining normal blood pressure values.6, 7, 8, 9 It has been suggested that magnesium may affect blood pressure through its effects on the secretion of adrenal hormones, which cause an increase in sodium excretion.10 This results in less water retention. Less body water reduces the volume of blood pumping through the cardiovascular system.
- Magnesium supports the endothelial lining of the blood vessels.11
Bone health
- Magnesium is critical for the absorption of calcium and potassium, playing a role in the formation of bone. Approximately 60% of the body's magnesium is stored in the bones.
- Magnesium regulates calcium absorption to help maintain bone strength. Studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of magnesium and its role in bone density.
- A study following a group of menopausal women gave them magnesium to assess the effects of this mineral on bone density. After 1 year, there was an increase in bone density during the period.12
- Another study involving postmenopausal women found that mean bone density increased significantly after 1 and 2 years of magnesium supplementation.13

Random Thoughts - The Irving Compromise
Kent Wilson
August 06 2012 11:47AM
I spent a lot of time in airports and on airplanes during my jaunt to and from the East Coast over the past two weeks, so I have had a lot of time on my hands to ruminate on a few things. I took an Ipad on the trip which is why my comments cropped up from time to time here - it's a great omnitool for traveling, but is somewhat limiting when it comes to writing anything longer than a few sentences.
Irving's Last Chance
- Which is perhaps why my glib comment about the Irving contract feeling like a uneasy compromise by both parties rubbed at least one reader the wrong way. I'll never be swayed by facile appeals to authority when it comes to criticisms of my analysis, but to be fair, the comment was thin on supporting details.
To clarify: that the two parties took a couple of months to negotiate what ended up being a very cheap, very brief contract is indicative that at least one of them is uneasy about the relationship. Nine times out of ten, one year, two-way deals are agreed upon swiftly because usually both the organization and player understand his relatively low standing on the organizational depth chart.
A mismatch in perception of the player's importance is likely the bone of contention here. A $688,000, two-way, one year contract is the sort deal you hand out to a perpetual tweener - a replacement level farmhand you may need if injury strikes. It's certainly not a contract you give to the presumptive future number one goalie, so clearly the organization is still suspicious about Irving's big league abilities.
In contrast, after six years in the Flames system and four years as a pro, there's little doubt Irving's camp was looking for a stronger commitment from the team than what they received, so I can only imagine they gave in because other options dried up. Recall that Irving was often connected with the Swiss team who recently signed Alex Auld - so it's possible the kid's plan B tired of waiting for him and shored up the position in his absence. Leaving Irving and Winter in a take-it-or-leave it dead-end with the Flames offer.
From the outside, the negotiations and deal are reminiscent of a couple from Calgary's past: first, when Mark Giordano held out for a one-way contract and bolted to the KHL in response to Sutter digging in his heels. More recently, the cheap, one-year (albeit one way) contract Dustin Boyd signed before his final season as a Flame. Darryl was uncharacteristically candid when he discussed the Boyd signing that summer, explaining that the kid would have to prove something - take a real step forward - in order for him to have a future with the club. He didn't and the Flames shipped him out for a magic bean (a 4th rounder) at the trade deadline.
Similarly, I imagine this season will determine Irving's fate in the Calgary organization. He'll have to take a very real step forward to convince the powers-that-be he's more than an AHL goaltender. The regime who chose Irving in the first round back in 2006 is gone and Feaster has had no issues shedding the franchise of "Sutter" picks and players. If Leland can't dominate the AHL and become a capable NHL back-up who can consistently spell-off Kipper this season, expect his time here to end.
Other Stuff
- Interesting to see Clay wilson bolt for the KHL, despite his contract being a one-way deal this year. Clearly he saw the depth chart filling up on the parent club with the addition of Wideman and retention of Sarich and Derek Smith and so decided to seek greener pastures elsewhere. It's not a huge blow to the Flames depth, but he was a nice asset for the Heat and as a potential injury call-up.
Oh well. Good luck in your new digs Clay.
- Upcoming: we have a deeper look at the Clay situation and an analysis of the Flames faceoff performance last eayr (spoiler: they stunk). As August moves on, we will look at reasonable expectations for Flames players this coming season, starting with Sven Baertschi this week. Cervenka, Wideman and Hudler will also get full articles.
- Finally, I think it's time for another photoshop contest. I'm open to suggestions, but I think the topic should be the trio of Sven Baertschi, Mark Jankowski and John Gaudreau. OilersNation recently completed a Yakupov contest and the submissions were excellent.
If that sounds interesting I will make an official announcement for the contest this week and give everyone the rest of August to submit their designs. Prizes will, of course, be gift certificates to Hudson's Tap House here in Calgary...as well as the applause and adulation of the commentariat here, of course.
Just one of my random thoughts: is there anything to make of Gaudreau playing one of the top lines with Galchenyuk at the U.S. Camp?
August 06 2012, 04:03PM
I support this contest with both testicles.
@Austin: I think it means Gaudreau is amazing.
The way I see the Wilson situation is that the Flames more than likely tried to trade him, however there was no takers for an AHL vet with minimal NHL experience that could probably be had on waivers by the start of the year. Wilson saw how far he was down on the depth chart and with the AHL rules about dressing Vets, he saw that his future was extremely limited in Calgary. Calgary and Wilson both probably thought this would be best for him, Calgary loses a contract off the 50 man limit that although the player is a good option, we pretty well have that type of player covered and Wilson can continue his career in a professional league.
IMO, I think would have preferred a Wilson over a Sarich, however I guess the Flames saw need to overpay for an old guy with 'grit'.
I still have hope that somehow Ramo plays in Calgary next season..
The Clay Wilson loss is actually very good for Flames, he is 29 years old and unlikely there is room on either NHL or AHL clubs...so great! I would rather see Brodie or others get his potential Flames ice time when injuries or bad Sarich play happens. Losing another guy off 50-man reserve list is great!
For goalies, I would like to see Ramo get here too (per comment 4) but unlikely for 1 year due to testy NHL-KHL relationship when it comes to top players at least. And it works well as Flames get to test out Irving and/or Karlsson for another year with Irving presumably the front-runner to play 10+ games behind Kipper with Karl maybe getting a few also.
August 06 2012, 09:56PM
@MC Hockey
Spot-on. Wilson frees up a contract. He's not an NHL defenceman. And I'm still wary of Smith next seasob.
I am also not as high on Ramo as everyone else here, but I hope I'm wrong. I really hope Irving proves most people wrong, and becomes an NHL-caliber, starting goalie here in Calgary.
Karlsson's needs to follow Wilson to the KHL. I think Taylor in Abby's a better keeper. And I'm being serious....
I supported Irving ,even though his stats were not up to league standards.I did that because i remembered being dissapointed when the club gave up on Gigeurre at the beginning of his carreer.The current situation with Irving is most likely best for both parties,as long as he is given a couple of small strecthes to prove himself ,rather than one game every two weeks.
Re: Yakupov Photoshop contest
I went in hoping for just one thing:
Weird Al Yakupov
I was disappointed. :(
Let's call a spade a spade. The Flames organization has been piss poor in handling the development of goalies. How many years did a guy like Brent Krahn spent in the organization only to fizzle out? Is Irving destined for the same fate? I sure hope not.
I believe Khahn had an injury early in his devolpment that he never recovered from.It,s put up time for Irving right now.He should relish the oppurtunity
This contract further confirms the view that the flames can't manage their goalies. What happens if, heaven forbid, Kipper is injured for twenty games? We're stuck with a backup that noone trusts in Karlsson and a goalie the flames beat the confidence out of every time he appears to be showing a decent run of form (Irving).
Very much of a strong view that the flames need to give Irving a defined schedule over the first thirty odd games, so he knows exactly where and when he'll be playing and manage his preparation (including how much he'll be played in Abbotsford) accordingly. if he doesn't step up, that's it. Both parties move forward and stop being half pregnant.
@everton fc - agreed, Ramo is a considerable unknown. Not high on him either.... Yet. But hopeful (possibly just the Liverpool supporter in me)
Goalies are not the only players who have been poorly developed. I can't remember the last time Calgary had developed a draft pick through the minors to be an impact player on this team. I seemed to remember for at least a season or two Calgary didn't have a AHL affiliate. I believe last season was a first for Calgary Flames by having a goalie coach specifically for the farm team.
When a player who is drafted in the first round like Irving was there will be higher expectations. With those expectations the fans and media alike want to see results. In Irving's case it is truly very hard to supplant a good # 1 goalie like Kiprusoff. For Irving starting in training camp under Hartley he has to prove that he wants to play more than 10 games in a season.
@MC Hockey
"I would rather see Brodie or others get his potential Flames ice time when injuries or bad Sarich play happens."
There was virtually no chance of Brodie losing ice time to Wilson. He was always ahead of Wilson on the depth chart... and arguably Sarich and Smith too.
I think Wilson was pretty much 9th, sandwiched between Babchuk and Carson.
@Franko J
Flames have had affiliates for AT LEAST the last 10-15 years. Starting in... the 90s (I presume) they were the Utica Devils, St John Flames, Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights, Quad City Flames, and Abbotsford Heat.
All from memory too! Haha. Some of those teams were really just awful... try playing as the goalie in Be a Pro on NHL 2008/9 - they can't score a goal or play defense to save their lives.
As far as Irving, I too am surprised it took this long to get a contract like this. I agree with Kent that one side (probably the Flames) is wary of the other side's abilities and doesn't want to commit large dollars for a long time.
My question is this: if Irving/Winter think that Irving deserved better, will he really want to sign on for long term if he proves himself? The Flames and Irving obviously have a different view of where he is at right now. Irving is probably being fed poison by his agent about the Flames (can't blame him at times) and my guess is that he will move on, even if he does well.
I wouldn't lose too much sleep over the Flames perceived lack of ability to develop NHL goaltenders. Very few teams can do it on a regular basis and often times when they do it is like a scream in a crowded room, everyone stops and turns to look at what is happening.
The Flames may or may not develop Irving into an NHL starter. But they haven't done him any disservice that the Oilers didn't do to Dubnyk and Deslauriers. In the end it might just come down to the voodoo science of goaltender development: he might not be good enough.
Fewer and fewer goaltenders are being taken in the first fifteen picks of the draft anymore because it would seem that most scouts and GMs have figured out that unless the guy is spectacular at every level nearly all the time it just isn't worth the risk. They all figure they are better off taking a flyer with a 3rd, 5th, or even 7th round pick in the hopes that he can turn into the next Pekka Rinne.
As for Irving's contract, I think Kent is right here in that both sides are keeping a safe distance until they get a better handle on the situation. It doesn't mean that Irving is permanently disenchanted with the Flames. If he plays well enough that they offer him a four-year $4 million contract and move to trade Kiprusoff I'm pretty sure all would be forgiven.
I think Irving's side believes he is worth more and the Flames aren't certain that he isn't. A bit like Backlund. Once more (season) with feeling and we'll see how things look on the other side.
Sam Gagner is getting similar treatment from the Oilers and by most metrics he is a pretty solid 2nd line center. Neither side seems to want to commit for too much or too long at this point.
As for Wilson, did Feaster ask Hnat Dominichelli to place a call and sell him on playing in Europe?
@ FireOnIce
Good memory. After doing some research, the Flames actually shared an affiliation with the Carolina Hurricanes from 2003-2005. The Lowell Lock Monsters / Devils. Where the Flames were granted 7 slots on the roster. Yes and all of the AHL affiliations under Sutter until Abbostford were terrible.
One of the reasons why the Flames non-playoff status for the past three seasons is the direct result of the incompetent drafting and the mismanagement by Sutter with no regard of having a strong AHL (farm) system. Drafting is no easy task. For the most part it is a crapshoot. Even drafting 1st overall. IMO it is having coaches within an organization who are good at developing players and players who want be better and get better.
Case in point: 2003 draft- Phaneuf chosen 9th and Weber chosen 49th. Who now is the better of the two?
Rich Winter is probably the man to thank for why it took so long to sign Irving. Just a hunch.
@Kent Wilson
JBo + 3rd/4th rounder for Couturier. Keep Cammy and Shervenka at wing. Suit Sarich up with robot legs and play him 25+ minutes a night.
Sounds all too easy.
I would also be okay with taking Simmonds if he was available. Flames need to replenish the RW.
Some have said we need a D-man back for JBo. I think if we trade him, Hartley should just manage the D pairings better and spread the responsibility across each player. There's one team that is a good recent example of this and I think it's Buffalo (pre-Regehr).
Gio, Brodie, Smith, Babchuk, Sarich, Butler. Call up Carson if you have to. Sign someone like Coliacavo, Hunwick, or Rozsival as a stop-gap measure if need be. Offer sheet someone like Jonas Holos from Colorado, Dmitri Kulikov from Florida, or John Carlson from Washington.
Re Bouw to Philly: I'm really bad at proposing trade scenarios that get used by GMs in reality, so I don't know what we'll get back for Bouw from Philly. However, if we do trade him, here's my panacea: Gio takes the reins as our number one defender, Wideman and Brodie play significant minutes on our much more offensive blue-line, Baertche plays top 6 minutes, Cervenka plays centre, Irving plays +20 games, we draft MacKinnon in the 2013 entry draft. Thoughts?
Detroit and Philadelphia are two clubs SAID to be in the market for a defender. Whether that means they are calling Feaster about Jay Bouwmeester is a bit of a stretch.
And I'll agree with Kent on the Irving signing. Why the heck would Irving play hardball for two months and then sign a cheap, two-way deal?
No leverage.
Calgary could conceivably get a decent return for JBo from either Detroit or Phiily, but as I've noted before, I think the hole he leaves on the back end will be a lot larger than most people want to admit. Certainly, he's the best D we have.
Of course, if he was moved as part of an overall plan to replace all of the 30-somethings with futures, I'd be all over it.
And since that won't happen, I don't think JBo will be moved either, especially with only 2 years left on his deal.
After all, when the Flames falter they can always try to move him at a later date, like at the trade deadline in 2014.
"I would rather see Brodie or others get his potential Flames ice time when injuries or bad Sarich play happens."
There was virtually no chance of Brodie losing ice time to Wilson. He was always ahead of Wilson on the depth chart... and arguably Sarich and Smith too.
I think Wilson was pretty much 9th, sandwiched between Babchuk and Carson.
You may be right, you may be crazy...as the song goes. And it might sum up Jay Feaster's tenure in Calgary so far...and for you Ballsyman, well I am leaning toward crazy LOL.

wow really? Did you even watch last season?
Brodie: 21 YO 54 games--lost time to injury.
Wilson: 28 YO 5 games--no injuries.

University at Albany and National Grid Foundation Establish GreenDependence Scholarship Program
ALBANY, N.Y. (October 9, 2012) -- The University at Albany and the National Grid Foundation (NGF) today announced the establishment of a GreenDependence scholarship fund. The $10,000 stipend will be presented to a UAlbany undergraduate student who demonstrates strong 'green' leadership. The scholarship will be awarded at the end of the fall 2012 semester.

"The University at Albany is a natural choice to establish the GreenDependence Scholars Program," said National Grid Foundation President Bob Keller. "UAlbany is not only one of the country's finest research and academic institutions, but serves as a leader in the campus sustainability movement and personifies the principles of GreenDependence."
With Green career employment opportunities expected to reach an estimated $1.5 trillion by 2030, the sustainability/energy sector can provide unparalleled opportunities for students who seek careers in fields from law to architecture to the culinary arts.
The goal of the GreenDependence Scholars program is to develop the next generation of environmental stewards by employing sustainable practices in their chosen career. The student receiving the scholarship will likely hail from the UAlbany's Living-Learning Community, 'World of Environmental Sustainability.'
"This important scholarship endorses UAlbany's efforts in sustainable living and research," said UAlbany Vice President for Student Success Christine Bouchard. "Through the National Grid Foundation, we now have the means to support and inspire students to live green and pursue careers in sustainability."
Prospective students would be chosen for their environmental leadership on campus. Candidates must be entering their sophomore year and come from an underserved community. Once awarded, the student would pursue environmentally related electives or core courses over their remaining three years of school.
UAlbany is one of five schools selected to receive the prestigious NGF scholarship, along with the University of Rhode Island, Stony Brook University, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and Medger Evers College.comments powered by Disqus

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Chief, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgical Service

About Me
I am a plastic surgeon who specializes in cancer reconstruction. I have specialized training in a microsurgery and extensive experience in reconstruction with perforator flaps, including DIEP and SGAPs for breast reconstruction. The term "microsurgery" refers to surgery in which tissues are transplanted from one region of the body to another by reconnecting small blood vessels using a microscope.
Perforator flaps are the latest and most advanced microsurgical techniques available for reconstruction. These techniques are an improvement on traditional microsurgery since in perforator flaps there is much less trauma to the area from which transplanted tissues are collected. For example, in the DIEP flap, the rectus muscle (commonly known as the "6-pack") of the abdomen is preserved, while in traditional TRAM flap procedures this muscle is cut resulting in more pain, longer recovery, and higher chance of hernias after surgery. I have lectured nationally and internationally on breast reconstruction and have published extensively on the topic.
My research interest is lymphedema — the swelling of an extremity that develops in some cancer patients who have lymph nodes removed for cancer treatment. I have developed a number of models to study lymphedema in the laboratory with a goal of understanding how lymphedema develop. Our long-term goal is to design novel methods including surgery and medical treatments to prevent and treat lymphedema. Depending on the circumstances, I offer liposuction, lymph node transfer, or lymphatic by-pass procedures to appropriate surgical candidates. Our NIH funded laboratory has collaborations with researchers at Stanford University, MD Anderson Cancer Center, USC Medical Center, and Beth Israel Medical Center.

Jack Sock interview
Kozlov, Rubin to meet in all-American Wimbledon boys' final
By Sally Milano, USTA.com
The unlikely duo of Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil stunned the No. 1-ranked doubles team in the world, Bob and Mike Bryan, in a five-set thriller to capture the 2014 Wimbledon men's doubles title.
American Sock and Canadian Pospisil topped the 15-time Grand Slam champions, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, to take home the championship.
Sock and Pospisil were teaming together for the first time and, besides the Bryans, upset a number of seeded teams en route to the title, including No. 5 seeds and reigning US Open doubles champions Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek in the semifinals. Among their other wins, they also knocked off No. 2 seeds Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares in the quarterfinals and No. 8 Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi in the second round.
They are the third team to win a Grand Slam title in their first tournament together and the first since Lleyton Hewitt and Max Mirnyi captured the US Open championship in 2000.
Sock, a 21-year-old originally from Lincoln, Neb., has now won two Grand Slam titles in his young career. He also teamed with American Melanie Oudin to claim the US Open mixed doubles championship in 2011.
The Bryan brothers were bidding to add their fourth Wimbledon title to their previous triumphs in 2006, 2011 and 2013. They have won five titles in 2014 and 98 titles overall in their storied careers.
