Onward and upward

July 17 2009 10:55PM
Now that I've had a good cry after hearing Edmonton Oilers assistant GM Kevin Prendergast admit the team has "given up hope" in its pursuit of Dany Heatley, I will wring out my notepad and try to move on.
So, rest assured, will GM Steve Tambellini. Like Jonathan Willis, I'm not of the mind Tambellini has curled up in the fetal position muttering "Dany, Dany, Dany," paralyzed into inaction after being spurned. Not even close.
I don't believe that, while there remains a need for a finisher on left wing alongside Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky, the Oilers can't fill the other holes they had in the line-up last season and make up for the devastating additional losses of Kyle Brodziak. Ales Kotalik and Liam Reddox.
Nor do I buy the argument Tambellini, Pat Quinn and Tom Renney will have a problem with Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano and Ladislav Smid in terms of mending fences.
Yes, it would've been a bonus to dump Penner's contract, but I can't believe he won't be better, even sulking, under Quinn and Renney than he was after being repeatedly shown up and mis-used by Craig MacTavish.
Likewise, I see finding a way to better utilize Cogliano more of a challenge than soothing any hurt feelings. As for Smid, well, he had issues before he was tossed into the Heatley package. I'm led to believe he's past what had him contemplating a trade early in the season. He'll get past this.
So must the faithful.
What Tambellini needs to do, and is doing, now is work the phones to fill the holes that are obvious to everybody.
As for left wing on the top line, I'd like to see Tambellini place a call to Pennsylvania and inquire about Simon Gagne or Scott Hartnell. Or maybe he should ring L.A. about Dustin Brown. Alex Tanguay? Not so much.
Nothing that's happened so far has changed the fact Tambellini has assets on the back end he can trade. Denis Grebeshkov going to arbitration is a minor distraction, nothing more.
As for finding a handy, defensive-minded centre who can win face-offs and kill penalties, Manny Malhotra, as I pitched earlier this off-season, remains the best option, even if it'll take an overpay -- like that's stopped the Oilers in the past three seasons.
I'm led to believe Tambellini is looking to make a move to address that need and that, despite being focused on Heatley for weeks, he's kicking some tires. I don't have a name for you, but if he hasn't put a call into Malhotra, I'd be flabbergasted.
Free agent Blair Betts is sitting there, and has said he'd be happy to don Oilers silks. The Oilers have a passing interest, but they already have a centre who can kill penalties and win less than 50 per cent of his face-offs. His name is Gilbert Brule.
I'm not going to take a "don't worry, be happy" stance here because I don't believe that signing Nikolai Khabibulin to a 14-year contract and jettisoning Brodziak to open things up for Brule puts the Oilers into a playoff spot in 2009-10. How much of an upgrade, really, is Khabibulin over Dwayne Roloson?
At the same time, I'm not going to lose any sleep over the swing-and-miss on Heatley, but you already knew that. And, as previously mentioned, I'm not willing to write-off PDP despite all the ragging I've done on him. If Quinn and Renney stroke him the right way, he could shove it to the critics in the coming season. Not likely, but possible.
The challenges we know, as does Tambellini. I'd suggest a step back and a deep breath over the next couple of weeks. Take the kids to Capital Ex. Go to Commonwealth Stadium and boo the Eskimos. Anything.
Let Tambellini do his job.
-- Without face-to-face interaction on the internet, bafflegab has become the secret pinkie handshake among fans on message boards. In addition to nerd-speak like "playing the toughs" and "doing the heavy lifting" and "butter-soft minutes," we get the following lingo from somebody named PDO over at HF Boards in the ongoing debate about the value of acquiring Heatley: "Yes. We're a better team if he comes here," opines PDO. "Second he goes top cheddar on Luongo we all forget about how long it took to get him here."
Yes, the second Heatley goes "top cheddar" -- a shooter picking the top corner has morphed from going top shelf to top cheese -- on Luongo, I'll be buying his jersey. Can Heatley go "top havarti" or "top feta" on Luongo?
-- While I'm at it, is there room for interpretation of "butter-soft minutes," given the difference in texture between room temperature butter and refrigerator butter?
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on Team 1260.
Depends on whether or not you think liquids can be hard or soft.
Just when we all think the ball has been dropped, and those of us who voted yes to heatley (yes, lower cased "h", deserves nothing more) sulk with a pint of ale at the local pub is when we will be caught with our face on the table at the announcing that dFh will be wearing Oiler silks for the next half decade+. This kind of move is exactly what this team needs. A controvercial one that will keep this awesome website ticking for years to come. I frequent this site up to a dozen times a day and absolutely love what it has to offer. We can run the gammet(sp)of emotions on a daily basis, highs and Lowes, although mostly Lowes these days. *tips his glass of ale to those who make this site possible, "Here is to Oilersnation and all who support it"*
They are not done and i believe there are some real good players on the trade market right now. I would love to get Hartnell and keep Penner. He would make us so much tougher to play against and he is under utilized in Philly IMO.
Hartnell-Horcoff-Hemsky O'sullivan-Gagner-Penner
I would be happy with that top six. Penner needs to be playing RW to be most effective something Mact really never realized other then the short stint playing the RW on the third line. He has to be on the second line period also something Mact could not get thru his thick layer of curly locks.
I don't even know if you can consider not bringing Kotalik back a "loss". That isn't so much a comment on Kotalik as a player as it is the fact that he was a rental. We've already replaced the one regular we lost in Cole with O'Sullivan.
Though the comment about Tambellini looking to make a move to address the gaping defensive center hole is the best news I've heard since the season ended. I don't even care if it takes until September for him to actually fill it. Just knowing that he understands that it's a need is good enough for me (provided he does eventually do something about it).
REBUILD!!! Its the only way.
I don't think "rebuild" is in our owners vocab!
Are you wondering why Oilers can't get any good players? It's because of writers like you who think like a small town boys. Oilers don't need Heatley, they don't need J. Bo., and so on. Don't you realize that those players have names because they are good and can make Oilers better? You are happy that Heatley is not coming? Do you want Oilers to win? Don't you understand that to win they need Heatley? Malhotra is not going to get them a Stanley Cup? You think Tambellini is working the phones like you assured us? Maybe and maybe not because nobody wants to come here. This town was good for Gretzky, Kurri, Mess, Anderson, Simpson and many more but now nobody wants to come here because of K. Lowe and small town mentality by the press who don't want or not capable to think big.
I'm sick of missing the playoffs and listening to the flameouts and canuckleheads stomp on us rebuilding would totally suck a$$ Hartnell would be awsome and is Dustin Brown actually available if so I would so love to have him on this team

Yeah, Heatley was totally going to agree to come here then he thought, "wait! that Brownlee guy lives in Edmonton and he might say things about me on the internet!" Yeah. Thats exactly how it played out.
DAMN YOU BROWNLEE! Damn you and your wordsmithery!
Predergast did say we gave up "But" if it there we will take it. He is still on the merry-go-round, They never gave up and they won't. Lowe screwed this team and we will not get out of it for 7 years. You either have a mentality of win now or win later. The Management sits in the middle. Khabby for 4 years throws a screw into Desjarlais and Dubnyk, who both are on one year contracts, DO they both get one way deals next year are we going to see Garon all over again? Man this team is in shambels, and we wpnder why no players want to come here. Betts has no other options. Even Harvey ripped good old E-Town. Lowe would have never been a Snow or Hextal, they have class.

I don't know if Brown is available, but I like him and I think the Oilers have a defenceman who wouldn't kick up a fuss about going the other way.

Archaeologuy You think you are funny? Did I mantion the fans from that little town who think like it too? Keep joking and mayby in a year 2037 Oilers will make playoffs just to go 4 and out.

I dont think you "mantioned" much of interest. Although I am a pretty funny guy.
I'm also pretty sure that Dany Heatley or Marion Hossa have no idea who Archaeologuy is, and i doubt they care whether or not i think they would be good additions to the club. However, "Mayby" I'm under-estimating my celebrity.
July 18 2009, 12:41AM
He's not funny. You're funny.
Robin Brownlee I know its on the record that you are against every good player coming here. Is Vancouver your team or Calgary? We know that its olso on the record that you will newer say anything about the reason players will not come here because you will lose your sorce of information that is wrong 90% of the time because he likes to say "expect the unexpected". Do you know who I am talking about? No? Small town!!!

Thanks for the reply robin you are the celebrity in my books lol yah I would love to have brown here to he is captain material plus he has some chemistry with osully who I really like as well tambo did good on that one

@ lenny: How exactly does my opinion or even the opinion of Brownlee affect the actual outcome of the regular or post season? It doesnt. So outside of you calling me and Robin "small town" what is the aim of your post? To prove that interfamily relationships really do produce inviable offspring? Were you simply trying to find a way to challenge the commonly accepted rules of grammar? Am i just feeding the troll here or is there an actual point to be made somewhere in your ramblings?

As far as I can tell he's comparing the two of you to Larry Bird. Seems odd for a hockey site, but if the shoe fits...
Yes, thats good, go against me everybody if you think we don't need good players here but remember one thing I can take it but can the Oilers take to much more of that small town thinking? Any good free agents left that would like to come here? Would you find problems with Ovechkin if he asked to be traded to Edmonton? I think Brownlee will find the reason why he is not a good fit here.
@ lenny: Buddy I am sure brownlee would not have one problem with heatley coming here if he didn't carry so much baggage.The oilers dressing room is just too fragile as is.
July 18 2009, 01:27AM
Nice article, Robin. It's good to hear that Tambellini's been kicking tires, and I can't disagree on any of the things you've said about the team.
Two questions, if you'll indulge me:
1) What do you make of Prendergast's comments (specifically running out the same team as last year)? Is he out of the loop, talking nonsense, or deviously hoping to attract free agents by talking about how the team doesn't have them in their plans?
2) Do you think Brule's a lock (or close to it) for a roster spot?
July 18 2009, 01:29AM
As for "small town" thinking, it's high time for people to get over their inferiority complex.

Precisely. Every one of us has a problem with good players. Hatred might be the most appropriate word. I know I, for one, despise them.
Now that you've solved our dark secret we can spend less time on the therapist's couch and more time dreaming of the home run deal while ignoring the little things that are still necessary to improve the team and don't include groveling or debasing ourselves.

Sigh, when even RB was resigned to the fact we were getting Heatley I got my hopes up. The hunt continues, a phrase I dread now. Simon Gagne would be adequate, but he is nowhere near the caliber player. A Heatley off year is a good Gagne year.

Who is this Dejarlais guy so many people speak of, sounds like he is a goalie, never heard of him. How do u get Dejarlais from Deslauriers? Simple phonics would breakdown the difference between these two words, sorry, guess I'm just incredibly irritable these days about the sh*t show that is this hockey club...*hopes he has not himself made a spelling error in this post...*
Desjarlais sorry (sp?) LMAO!!!
LOL, never spelled an word wrong that was spelled wrong to begin with...
Why not go for Phil Kessel? Cheaper, younger, faster 35 goal scorer

Ladies and Gents...
Just a few comments..
Heatley? Dam, too bad.. but his loss. ( NOT the Oilers )
Working the phone? Of course Tambo takes & makes calls.
Khabibulin? Looking forward.. Move at trading deadline? (A playoff team may want him for a playoff run,one day)
Lenny? Troll... ( Stupid is, as Stupid does )
Butter & Cheese ? I'm so hungry!( High, Amsterdam ) ( My Doc says I have to watch my waistline ) To Sum up..
No Heatley = Sad A visit to Amsterdam = Hungry. Lenny's comments = Stupid
Go Oil !
is anyone else upset at the fact we are going to suck worse than we did last year.all we've done is lose people,not sign any real help.it felt like a real shot to the gut when they said they gave up on heatley.here is to another year of being outskilled by most of the western confrence.but wait we have kids in the system.WHO CARES!!contending once in a while would be much better.
I agree, this team is gonna not be too good. I'm even tired of fighting for that 8th spot. What it must feel like to cheer for a great team like the Red Wings, no stress... Coaching might be able to get us to 9th/10th this year instead of 11th/12th. I cannot see this roster as is making the playoffs at all this year, 83 points for this coming season is my guess. *thinks about if he should get his 4 month old son an Oiler jersey or spare him the stress and grief and just get him a Pens or Red Wing jersey*
@ hatecrime: You are exectley right.
@ lenny:
@ Garett: Dont worry, by the time your 4 month old understands what offsides are the Pens will suck again. Detroit may be a good bet for longevity but you know he will be just like daddy. You cant change teams, not saying for any moral reasons - but in your heart watching the games would be a lie.

Don't necessarily agree -- even if not one more roster move is made. To contend, though, the holes that have been discussed need to be filled.

I got the sense -- my take based on a conversation -- there was a 48-hour or so window when another push would be made and it was 50-50. That's come and gone.

I think KP is trying to divert attention from the team's attempts at addressing other needs. If KP says, "Maybe Heatley is out, but we're still busy blah, blah, blah," then the next questions are: "Busy doing what and who are you talking to?" My guess is Tambellini has issued a shaddup order, no doubt miffed about the Heatley stuff coming to light.
I'd hope nobody with as short an NHL track record as Brule is guaranteed a roster spot, but the Brodziak move was clearly made to improve his chances. I think he can play. He's more skilled, a better skater and more physical than Brodziak.
July 18 2009, 09:05AM
Penner scores 30?????!!!!! The league still has the offside rule ther "oil for life 99!" Penner would only be able to score 30 if he got to hang around the oppositions net, dropping donair sauce in the goalie's crease causing him to slip and fall, then Penner could bump the puck in with his gut! Penner will never score 30 goals in this league, wake up and leave the 80's. Cut the "99" from the back of your name and get with reality! We are not in the glory days anymore and this team going into training camp as KP says will be battling it out for last in the Northwest with the "rebuilding" Avalanche. Only difference is we will be near the cap in doing so!

Mmmm grilled cheese . . . As a writer (jump in here, Lenny) language is a big part of my business. Everybody uses lingo. Certain words or phrases become common within certain groups, whether you're talking hockey fans or accountants or sports writers. It can get a bit much, though, especially for a casual reader who isn't familiar with the inside talk. I've had deskers ask me countless times WTF I was writing about when I'd send them stuff that included terms that were perfectly clear to me.
"Joe Blow struggled for the first four innings, but when he got behind Sam Smith 0-3, battled back and sat him down with a wicked hammer to end the fifth, the Trappers rallied." The Coles notes on that is "struck him out with a curveball."
Or, "Scotty Olson was in trouble in the sixth round when he turned the fight around, intoducing Carbajal to Suzy Q, starching him for what could have been a count of 50." Olson knocked out Carbajal with a looping right hand and he stayed down well after the count.
Lingo is fun, but we all get carred away.

i mean , that guy is talking about them as brats (smoker,law , luffy). Also that he will destroy them.
Just how strong can he be. A vice admiral. I like the way he doesn't loose his cool wich is a sign of his power.
unlike CC.
I'm also worried becuz CC said to his crew to place watching denden mushi. So vergo has to be carefull

1) Its very likely to be shut down by ID because it 'IS' a remake not requiring any of the original assets or even 'owning' a copy of the original game. This 'IS' illegal :(
Maes said:
At which point does something become "annoying" for id? Let's see...slapping the name "Doom" on your product (with a qualifier) seems to be A-OK. There are so many variants that I lost count: Doom 3D, Doom 2011, Doom for Java, Doom.NET, Doom 2D, etc. you name it.
Let's see...lookalike resources? I can see why this would be a problem (and Freedoom doesn't accept "too close" lookalikes), but many of those "remakes" actually use ripped resources, and in rare cases, reworked ones (the ZX one seem heavily reworked, but still clearly identifiable in most cases), and all is fine and dandy.
In the end, I think it's simply the sheer volume of the task at hands that makes overly ambitious projects collapse under their own weight, as it unfolds. A model and a texture don't make a game, unfortunately. Maybe a good first project for an apprentice/hobbyist game developer, but no more.

IMO, he probably shot himself in the foot by doing that. It all depends on who reads his email first, and how high up it gets. The higher up and the more technical eyes read it, the better. The lowest it stays and the more clerical/legal eyes see it, the worse.
If e.g. it reaches all the way to John Carmack, he may laugh it off and say "Sure, it's OK", as his position, experience, seniority and confidence tell him that this is no threat, actually it's yet another praise for his work.
If however it receives too much attention from an over-ambitious pointy-haired legal manager whose job is to file lawsuits (or some paranoid clerk who prefers "playing it safe"), it's over.

On newsstands now, big screen starlet Leighton Meester is the cover girl for NYLON Magazine's February 2011 issue. She sports a Diesel coated denim skirt paired with a satiny Marc Jacobs jacket (cut like a classic denim jacket, as it were). Shot by the mag's Editor-in-Chief Marvin Scott Jarrett, Leighton is styled in plenty'o'denim, leading us to believe they magazine is trying to showcase a very casual, non-Blair Waldorf side of her persona. And with her new movie rolls showing her in very un-Blair like lights, we think it's perfect timing for this prim princess to pull some nice, classic denim on.

Does this styling look familiar? NYLON are particularly notorious for denim cut-offs on their cover girls (and we couldn't adore it more—this is one statement we rock all year round). For more denim shorts on pretty girls action, check out the coverage on Mila Kunis.

It features a padded skirt to cover the heavy duty steel springs and a high quality polypropylene jumping surface design up to a 220lb weight capacity. 40" Mini Trampoline Product Details: 40" diameter 36 springs carton size:42 x 1.9" x 42" gross weight: 20 lbs 933/40' Exercise and TrampolinesThe prevalence of overweight children is on the rise, and with the extra weight, increased risk of heart disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and even poor self-esteem. Experts agree that exercise is a key factor in reducing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.Trampolining is a low impact, low stress workout for the body. 10 - 20 minutes of trampolining is about equal to half an hour of jogging! Because the trampoline mat absorbs some of the shock of impact, there is no strain on the joints. A repeated low impact exercise builds and strengthens the bones and muscles which results in toning, better balance, co-ordination and good posture. It has also been proven to reduce the risk of arthritis and osteoporosis. One of the greatest benefits of the trampoline workouts is the effect on the lymphatic system. The lymph system bathes each cell in our body, carrying nutrients to the cell and taking waste products away. Unlike blood, which is pumped through the body by the heart, the lymph is completely dependant upon physical movement of the body in order to move. In other words, when we exercise, the lymph circulates well. Without adequate movement of the lymph, cells starve for nutrients and become bogged down in waste, a situation which contributes to degenerative diseases such as arthritis. Mini trampoline workouts get the lymph circulating freely through the body, improving overall health and immune system functioning. Exercises: Bouncing: If you are new to rebound trampoline exercises, get yourself accustomed to how the mini-trampoline feels when you bounce on it. Get your feet centered on the trampoline with your feet slightly apart. This is what is called a starting stance. Practice a few small bounces to help get used to how the mini-trampoline moves under you. Once you become more comfortable on the trampoline, you'll be able to go for longer and work more of the body. As a beginner, be careful not to overdo it. Bouncing for 5 to 10 minutes at first is a good place to start. the other hand, is low-impact so the joints take less beating, but you still get the cardio workout. To jog on the mini-trampoline, get in your starting stance and then lift your feet 1 or 2 inches off the tramp, alternating your feet. You can do this at any pace your comfortable with. Then move your arms like you are jogging.Heel Bounce: The heel bounce is taken from Billy Blanks and his Tae Bo exercise program. Once again, you'll get your feet set in the starting stance. It starts out like a basic bounce but you'll be moving one foot forward, touching the heel of that foot to the surface of the rebound trampoline. Alternate your feet and swing your arm forward as your heel touches the tramp mat.

nice shoes but narrow
"The shoes are beautiful and well made. True to size in length, but noticeably narrow. I find them comfortable and easy to walk in but wonder if they will feel too tight after a whole day in them. Also, they look more brown than olive and the picture shows them as two-toned but they are pretty uniform all over....I liked the two tone look more, but they are still nice shoes."

It is my pleasure to bring you this week's Grand Rounds. As I am sick of winter and looking forward to spring, I am going to sprinkle this edition with images of some beaches near the contributors. Enjoy!
Valentine's Day is in less than one week. There are several "heart" related posts. Let's begin with them.
This first one is from @purplesque, Sumpsimus, who gives us a glimpse of a "love affair" of the real tragi-comedy kind in her post: Another day at work.
Corinne Rieder, healthAGEnda, discusses a part of the touching journey through her mother's battle with Alzheimer's in her post: Listening to My Mother.
I can't deny it—I miss the mother I once had. Even at age 80, she was vibrant, loving, and independent. And she was strong………..
I may miss the mother I once knew, but I have also become deeply aware of how much I love and appreciate the one I have now……..
Kimberly Manning, ACP Hospitalist, in her post Life at Grady: Payback
……….Sometimes, it gets to be a lot. A whole lot. ……
Mr. Felton smiled and shook his head. "Seem like every generation get a little more chances. Here you are a doctor, teaching me about my heart." He looked me in my glassy eyes, warm and genuine. The tears pushed out onto my lashes as I drew in a deep breath. ……….
Valentine's Day may not be a happy one when illness enters into the couple relationship, things change, often drastically. If the demands of illness make it difficult for the partners to connect with and be supportive of each other, should they consider divorce? Barbara, In Sickness and In Health, discusses these changes in her post: Divorce and Chronic Illness: One Woman's Story.
Aneesa, D.O.ctor, is using "February ~ American Heart Month" to share a personal story of her aunt's death from heart disease and provides some educational information about heart attacks.
Ves, Clinical Cases and Images: CasesBlog, summarizes some important lab results and parameters that both patient with heart diseases and health people should know in his post: Heart numbers to know - by Cleveland Clinic.
ACP Internist ("where the staff are living and dying that the Steelers win on Sunday") post or question of the day--- QD: News Every Day--The Super Bowl is just a game, right? Did you know that according to researchers sports fans may literally live and die on their team's victories. ACP Internist reviews the research for us.
In medicine, we must use our heads to guide our hearts and vice versa. This is true in dealing with end of life issues, with medical ethics, with healthcare cuts/budgets.
Indian Medic wants to know who's the boss?
Often a major part of a doctors job is making decisions –….. Often it's the decision of the patient and family, but needing guidance of the attending doctor, who is expected to know the best. When all goes down well – good. But what when the parties have a difference of opinion and some problems crops up. …..?
Following is one such is incident, which made me ponder – where do you draw the line – of who takes the blame? …….
Women Neurosurgeons Blog discusses how it's critical to take "The Social History" of our patients in order to provide optimal care.
…………..The clear implication was that our life events clearly impact our response to injury and disease in ways that remain unknown to us. But while we may not understand the mechanism, it is evident that all health care providers have to more closely attend to understanding the lives of our patients in order to administer to their medical needs. ……………
In White Ink (formerly Intueri) gives us a good reminder NOT to use the wrong modality when communicating with patients.
Elaine, Medical Lessons, has been Considering the Significance of a Doctor's White Coat from her perspective as a patient (pro) as a doctor (generally pro) and as a med-school teacher (it should be clean).
Dr Rich, Covert Rationing Blog, gives us an iconoclastic view of advance directives and offers advice on how to establish one without giving too much ammunition to the Central Authority in his post: " Can Advance Directives Be Salvaged?"
Julie Rosen, Bedside Manner, discusses finding common ground in the debate on advance care planning in the wake of the recent elimination of Medicare reimbursement for such services.
James Baker, Mental Notes, asks and answers: Who gets hurt when Medicaid gets cut? You do. As he notes "Poor people don't stop getting sick just because you drop their insurance. And doctors keep treating them. It still gets paid for, too, and you're who pays for it. But how?"
Marshall Scott, Episcopal Chaplain at the Bedside, shares reflections in light of the ethical principles of the "Georgetown Mantra" on the recent case of two sisters imprisoned in Mississippi whose sentences would be suspended if one sister donated a kidney to the other.
Don't forget the other parts of the body – skin, hands, back, etc. The first one in this section should not be skipped:
From @otorhinolarydoc, Surgeon, Interrupted, writes about life in the third world in his post: West Timor Adventures Part 3 of 10: Clinic Starts -- Crazy clinic and huge goiters. Really huge goiters!
Dr. Romanzi educates us on the topic Death by Clitoris: Female Circumcision circa 2011
………….And therein lies the key – the divorcement of these crucial rite-of-passage rituals from the brutal practice of female genital mutilation. ……..
Glenn Laffel, MD, Pizaazz,uses his post How the Brain Responds to Music to review a cool study by scientists at McGill about the neurological underpinnings of musical epiphanies. It includes an amazing YouTube video of Jascha Heifetz playing a Tchaikovsky violin concerto, but admitted in his email "I'm more partial to the Grateful Dead piece mentioned in the opening sentence!"
Allergy Notes gives us 7 Tips for Allergy-free Winter. Included is a mini map diagram of the most effective methods for control of the most common indoor allergen - the mighty dust mite.
Happy, The Happy Hospitalist, discusses what his expectations are as he heads off to the physical therapist: Physician Physical Therapy Goals: Just Fix It.
Dr Ed Pullen, DrPullen.com, tells us that tobacco use is no longer the Leading Preventable Cause of Death in America. Sadly, obesity has passed tobacco use.
Grunt Doc wants us to know about the trouble with observation in medical settings.
I have experience with this, from both sides. Both involve hand-washing. Still, a clean story.
Washing of hands is the right thing to do for health-care providers, between seeing patients, for infection control reasons. And, I've gotten 'the letter' from a VP charged with signing them, citing me for not washing my hands between patients.
Except, I did. This is the problem with observational medicine.
We'll use Grunt Doc's post to move from the physical body to the policy/politics/economics of medicine.
David Harlow, Health Care Law Blog, discusses MA Governor Deval Patrick challenge to cities and towns to meet a cut in local aid dollars by redesigning health benefits and renegotiating with unions under a new proposed law in his post Massachusetts: Future Hotbed of Value-Based Benefit Design? He feels value based design can turn what is perceived as a Draconian cut into a win-win situation.
Paul Levy, Not Running a Hospital, shares Lessons from Cairo, using the recent events in the Middle East to make the connection between powers that be and the public's rights.
Ever wish as a physician you had taken an economics class in college. NWS, The Notwithstanding Blog, actually did and explains why, in spite of the flak he gets for the decision, economics is not only a good background to have before entering medical school, but the *best* thing to have studied before medical training begins: "Undergraduate Learning of Economics for Make Benefit Glorious School of Medicine"
murzee, Healthcare, etc, has had a great series on reviewing medical literature intelligently. In part 5 of the series, she explains inter-group differences and hypothesis testing.
Louise, Colorado Health Insurance Insider, considers what happens When The Media Recommends Over-consumption of Healthcare
It's easy to say that a few hundred dollars for a test (or a few thousand dollars if people opt to get multiple tests) is far less expensive than the cost of a heart attack. But ………. This exacerbates the problem of over-consumption of health care and rising health care costs.
Philip Hickey, Behaviorism and Mental Health, discusses The Drugging of Children. He feels children with behavioral problems are increasingly being prescribed anti-psychotic drugs. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with these children. They simply haven't been adequately trained and disciplined.
mdstudent31, Future of Family Medicine, asks How will COGME's 20th Report Affect Medical Students? in their review of the COGME's 20th Report, "Advancing Primary Care," and it's 5 recommendations including the one which recommends an increase in "the average incomes of primary care physicians to at least 70 percent of the median income for all other physicians."
Greg Vigdor, Washington Health Foundation, gives his prescription for making the U.S. the Healthiest Nation in his post Winning the Future! It includes: 1) Dream Big 2) Know where we are in the Journey 3) Make it about People.
Henry Stern, InsureBlog, presents one reason why US cancer survival rates far outstrip Britain's in his post: Seeing through the MVNHS©
These last two are from a couple of people I am fond of; one is a surgeon and the other a pathologist. Both posts are meant to leave you smiling.
The first is from bongi, other things amanzi, who tells us about a great teacher with less than stellar bedside manners: you've got to hand it to him.
The second is from Methodical Madness who share some GI humor in her post: tête-à-tête
Hope you all will have a great day and even better week. Take care and come back anytime.
Next week's Grand Rounds host will be Grunt Doc.
If you would you like to be a future host of Grand Rounds, contact: Nick Genes (blogborygmi.com).

This A list actor who used to be A+ and is in danger of dropping to B+ if he doesn't get a hit does not even sleep with his former B list mostly television actress wife. Sex is pretty rare too.
Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively
Poor Blake 🙁ReplyCancel
Doesn't he share a bedroom with his mom or something or is that cooper?ReplyCancel
Well which one of the two of them would be proud to share this information?ReplyCancel
That is no bueno, Blake. Do whatcha gottaReplyCancel
And when he does have sex with her, supposedly he likes to call his mom beforehand and ask her to call him while he's doing the deed so he can cut it short. He's gay though, what did she expect?ReplyCancel
Says who?ReplyCancel
LOL @ SecretTorture! Don't forget, he also makes her stay at home all the time (except when she's flying to Paris for her modeling contract and going to California for photos shoots), won't let buy new furniture to decorate their home, and she's a lush who pretends the wine is only for cooking. I get the feeling that Ryan and Blake are not beloved by the E. Just a thought…ReplyCancel
Hi Derek Harvey! Did you miss me?
Or do I bother you? If that's the case, I simply comment the topics I am most interested in, like anyone else, in any case you can stop reading my comments.
Ryan, please, call Enty!
@Seven of Elevan I totally agree with you! Well said!
Poor Blake's probably in for an extended dry spell now that Ryan's sold his Hollywood Hills pad for a $300k loss …
She deserves better!ReplyCancel
yes Skipper of course I missed you! You have such a dazzling personality!ReplyCancel
@Violet – I concurReplyCancel
I dont think I have ever seen a good Ryan Reynolds movie.ReplyCancel
I forgot he was an action star – Green Lantern, right? So boring I can't even remember it.ReplyCancel
I don't understand why anyone wouldn't have sex with Blake.
Please no yelling today, guys. Mama has a hangover.ReplyCancel
Ryan Gossling is better and in better movies. and hotter.ReplyCancel
Whisper" Hi DT! Have fun last night?"ReplyCancel
So, he has her locked up in the house and she can never leave, because he wants a family, but they never have sex. And now, he's getting handy j's from sienna at dinner while blake counts her brush strokes as she brushes her hair, waiting for Ryan to deliver his seed, but only to be interrupted at the opportune moment by his mom?? What a tangled web you weave enty!ReplyCancel
@Kristin/Wiglet, then you don't wanna go anywhere near the Charlie Sheen getting married again post. Just sayin there might be some yelling there. I agree with Derek re: Ryan Gosling vs Reynolds. Going to my happy place now…ReplyCancel
Ryan wants kids Blake dont who is cutting out the sex for these 2 him or her?ReplyCancel
@Cocoa Aaaaand I just saw it. Whelp. That was a solid 48 hours of no fighting.ReplyCancel
@TTM I can't find my pants. So good night I'd say.ReplyCancel
So jealous!! I know where all my pants are!
Thanks, Cocoa, I didn't know either until I saw your post. Sigh. Why can't we all just get along? And scroll?ReplyCancel
@TTM, I know, right? We are a LONG way from Kumbaya around here. @Kristin, I borrowed your pants to strangle a couple of people back in that post I just referred to, which shall remain nameless.ReplyCancel
Quit trying to empathize with Blake here ladies. She knew what she was getting herself into. She was out trying to get with any famous dude out there, married or not. She is getting exactly what she deserves.
Dude is way fucked up and his control/jealousy issues were there before her and afterReplyCancel
Didn't Blake make a play for Ryan while filming together when he was still married to ScarJo? Karma. I don't feel sorry for her one bit.ReplyCancel

Fraud Information Center
Debit Card Fraud
For frequently asked questions regarding debit card fraud, please click the link below.
Fraud and Identity Theft from phishing and electronic communications
Reports of Fraud and Identity Theft are at an all-time high, and criminals are using every method of communication possible to try and gather personal information from consumers. IE: Checking Account Number, Debit card number, Social Security Number, Userid/Passwords for Online Banking, etc.
Remember: InterBank will never ask you by an unsolicited phone call, email, text, etc. for your personal information. Please notify us immediately if you have received any requests for personal information, or if you gave out your personal information to an unknown source.
Examples of Phishing Methods
- E-mails: Usually the email is coming from a 'spoofed' address (they have manually edited the "reply-to address", it appears to come from a different source) or could even be coming from a hacked email account of someone you email regularly. Some of the emails contain false logos and links to make it appear you are on a trusted site, then may ask for your personal information in an online form.
- Telephone Calls: Some calls are computer generated and state that your account or debit card has been disabled and ask you to enter the account/card number using a touch tone phone. There are also calls from live operators asking for personal information, sometimes using a story such as a sweepstakes or investment opportunity scam. Many times the caller-id info is blocked, however some scammers have actually spoofed their caller ID to make it appear they are calling directly from an actual bank phone number.
- Text Messaging: The text may inform you that your debit card or account is disabled and will ask you to call an automated 1-800 number to enter your card number, or to reply to the text with the number.
- Social Media – Facebook, twitter, etc. Private messages or links to bogus websites will ask for personal information.
Things to do to avoid being scammed
Financial institutions are being targeted by individuals, or a group of individuals who are telephoning consumers, claiming to be an employee of the consumer's financial institution and attempting to "sell" a fraud protection service. This telephone scam is being used to obtain personal financial information and/or fees that the bank would never request.
- Never give out your financial information to anyone unless you have initiated the contact—this includes emails.
- If you have already responded to this type of call or email by providing your personal financial information, contact us immediately to protect your account.

CITY:Mount Morris
Located one mile west of Princeton in Bureau County, Illinois is the Captain Swift Covered Bridge. Built in 2006, the bridge derives its strength from its burr arch design, an idea patented by Theodore Burr of New York in 1804. Made entirely of wood using 1800s concepts (it has an outer skin of Douglas Fir), the Captain Swift Covered Bridge is the only two-lane covered bridge in Illinois. It has a 16'-3" vertical clearance, a 28 foot minimum roadway width and a 128' span over the Big Bureau Creek. GPS co-ordinates - N41 22.745 W89 29.871
Black Hawk Statue at Lowden State Park
At Eagle's Nest Bluff in Lowden State Park, proudly stands a 48-foot statue of a Native American quietly revering the beauty of the River Rock Valley below. Commonly called Black Hawk, after the legendary Chieftain, the statue was created as a tribute to all the Native Americans who once called the area their home.
Castle Rock State Park is located three miles south of Oregon on Highway 2. The 2,000-acre park includes rock formations, ravines, and unique northern plant associations. In one valley, 27 different types of ferns have been identified. A sandstone bluff, adjacent to the river, has given the park its name. Picnic area amenities include tables, shelters, grills, toilets, drinking water and playground equipment. Six miles of marked hiking trails have been developed, and a public boat ramp/parking facility is located across from the park's main entrance.
A Hundred Acres Orchard and Market
A fun-filled orchard featuring apples, berries, melons. The indoor market is filled with jams, jellies, sauces, dips, salsas, candy and homemade "take n bake" pies. Also unique is the Krazy Kernel Kettle Korn, produced right in Princeton! Specialty cheeses, such as Antonella, Buffalo Wing Jack, and Tomato Basil Yellow Cheddar are also available. Pair these cheeses with some of the wines that are sold in the new wine shop, or enjoy your purchase on the newly constructed outdoor patio area. The Cider Mill banquet room has been expanded to accommodate 200 guests, so plan your wedding, reception, party, or reunion here!
One of the most picturesque sites along the Rock River is just north of Oregon in Ogle County. The bluffs are graced with a majestic image of an American Indian gazing over the Rock River Valley. This is no ordinary statue. It is a 50 foot, concrete-reinforced wonder that is awe-inspiring. A tribute to all Native Americans, but more commonly associated with Chief Black Hawk, the statue was designed by sculptor Lorado Taft. You can enjoy many wonderful views of the Rock River from the park, but the best view of the statue is from IL Rt. 2.

Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Chapel Hill Golf Course and Events Center
Chapel Hill Golf Course and Event Center is a public 18 hole golf course and event venue located southeast of Princeton, in north-central Illinois. Tracing its roots to the original Bureau Valley Country Club (BVCC), this once private course is steeped in tradition and history dating back to 1909, where it began as a simple stop along the Inter-Urban rail line between Princeton and Bureau Junction.
Shady Oaks Country Club offers a unique and challenging 18-hole layout where accuracy off the tee and accurate approach shots are rewarded. At 6,212 yards from the tips, Shady Oaks doesn't "appear" to be difficult, but don't let the yardage fool you. The tight tree lined fairways and small sloped greens can take a toll on even the most patient golfers and make scoring very difficult. Shady Oaks is open to the public and has 4 sets of tees for varying skill levels. There is a pro shop and bar serving sandwiches, snacks and beverages.
The original nine holes date back to 1913, offering beautiful views of the Rock River. The design is a 2700 yard, par 34 with lots of trees and small greens. The back nine, built in the late 60's, is a 3200 yard track par 36, with large greens and sand traps. Adding to the challenge is the Holland creek running through it, coming into play on seven of the nine holes.
CITY:Rock Falls
Established in 1915, Timber Creek is not the 'run of the mill' golf course. With gentle rolling fairways, it was designed to give the golfer ample room off the tee while giving the player a challenge of a lie that may be slightly uphill or downhill. The closer you get to our bent grass greens, you will find sand traps placed by the architect in places that add to the overall character of the course. With new sand, you will find it as accommodating as one could. Our greens at Timber Creek were designed for game improvement and the scratch golfer alike.

Posted on 12/11/2012 4:38:42 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines
Americas carbon-dioxide emissions are actually falling. In fact, they have not been this low since 1992. And while no single factor can account for the entire shift, much of the credit goes to something environmentalists often detest: hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Among power sources, the worst source of CO2 emissions by far is coal. Natural gas generates half the CO2 per kilowatt-hour, and in the past few years natural gas has displaced coal to a remarkable degree. This year gas-fired electricity generation equaled coal-fired generation for the first time. According to the Energy Information Administration, that trend will continue as shale gas production rises from 5 trillion cubic feet in 2010 to more than 13 trillion cubic feet in 2035. Fracking made this possibleby opening up the Marcellus shale deposit in Pennsylvania and many others. Twelve years ago, shale gas made up 2 percent of the U.S. supply. It now makes up 37 percent.
All of that was achieved without government directionand in the face of considerable environmental resistance.

Upstate bump
This is great news! Somebody go tell the left that it worked. We got our global warming under control. Their efforts paid off and we have seen no warming in the past 10 years. We can stop pushing for carbon taxes and such and die in peace. The planet will survive after all.
Congrats. What's next?
What CO2 problem?
the problems are lower heating bills, longer growing seasons, more robust plant growth, those kinds of things.
What CO2 problem?.....exactly my sentiments....just another democrat argument with a flawed premise.
I am surprised that the Green Nazis have not made an issue of carbonated soft drinks like Coke and Pepsi with all those bubbles of greenhouse gas being released into the atmosphere.
Soft drinks are loaded with sugar (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen molecules) which are even more evil than carbon dioxide molecules.
There is no so-called "CO2 Problem".
It is an atmospheric gas.
Why certain people and organizations think it is a problem is a mystery to me.
It is an atmospheric gas.
Why certain people and organizations think it is a problem is a mystery to me.
Nothing like a little methane to get your attention. These folks also enjoy the ability to open their faucets and light up. Free dead fish floating in the water are so much easier to catch.
Fracking may give access to more methane, but it has its consquences. Check the story at this link to see how it has destroyed a productive cattle ranch including the animals and ranchers.
Adding my agreement...there is no CO2 problem. It's a damn made up hoax.
Another contributing factor to the dropping of the earth's CO2 content is the fact that Moslems are killing each other and Christians and Jews in ever greater numbers than before, thus reducing carbon footprints.
Name a place:
Nigeria, Mali, Libya, Egypt,Thailand;India;Pakistan; Afghanistan; Iran; Syria; Lebanon; Gaza; Yemen; Somalia; Kenya; Philippines;Indonesia (somewhat reduced).
Other places with major killings include the Congo, So. Africa (the top murder country per capital in the world other than Pakistan);Red China (lots of people being killed that you never hear of); No. Korea;Venezuela (another rising crime capital of the world); Colombia; Mexico; El Salvador; Guatemala.
Chicago; Philadelphia; Wash. D.C., Baltimore, Detriot, Houston, LA, etc. Here Obama's sons are doing the carbon footprint reduction program. Just read the police crime reports in the paper every day and you will see what I mean.
This is a semi-sarcastic/satiric post but there is a lot of truth behind it. That is the tragedy for America, and for the world.
Just imagine, you could rig a small dome over the methane leak, power a small generator and hook it to a line sync inverter and get paid for free electricity.
One ladys fear is another mans treasure.
Use of government regulations to restrain competition, as usual.
Using government to subsidize a product and/or eliminate competition by regulation has been a way to profit for a very long time. Hence, the major stockholders of the companies who stand to profit from this racket have been making fat donations to green groups for over fifty years. The NGOs and foundations launder the money and support the "scientific" justification they seek.
The level of risk depends upon how deep the target strata are and the permeability of the structure above.
Wouldn't it be great if we could have clean, nondangerous nuclear energy with no waste, as per the work of Andrea Rossi and others?
It wouldn't be worth the effort vs the personal health hazard. The hydrocarbon content of the air in the Bayou Corne area is making residents ill. A salt dome containing 1.5 million barrels of liquid butane will be liberated to the open air fairly soon. Asphyxiation or explosion is the anticipated consequence.
What about the Sun usage problem. America is using more than it's fair share of the Sun!
Statement based on a eia/epa government published table. The source for the statistics are not provided. It is hard for me to understand how the oxidation of coal based carbon is different than oxidation of natural gas carbon. But then biochemistry was something I didn't study.
I think it has to do with impurities, etc.
Interesting that you are willing to rely on NBC citing something called the "Food & Environment Reporting Network".
I don't know about the latter but I'm very well acquainted with the horses—t coming out of NBC.
Maybe you are an expert at this, which I am not. But I have lived most of my life in the Bakken area and I've seen reports of disastrous claim after claim which even Obama's own EPA cannot manage to substantiate...and believe me, they are trying.
The Bakken zone is a couple miles below the acquifers tapped for water wells. Does that mean there isn't sometimes surface damage or spills caused by careless workers? Hardly.
Does it mean that methane doesn't sometimes cause problems, sometimes with drilling activity nearby (and sometimes not)? No again.
Does my argument mean that yours is entirely meritless? No, no, it doesn't.
But you, like I, have to be cautious about accepting every claim as genuine and seeing causal relationships where they haven't been proved.
(pinging thackney as he has far more expertise than I and I am always interested in his view)
Bayou Corne is a collapsed Salt Dome Storage Facility and has ZERO to do with hydraulic fracturing in a production well. The storage facility was created by leaching out the salt and there is NO WAY anyone would consider fracturing a hole designed to KEEP the oil/gas in. Fracturing is done to let the oil/gas/water out.
Check this link for current videos of the situation and pictures prior to the sink hole opening.
>> Natural gas generates half the CO2 per kilowatt-hour
> It is hard for me to understand how the oxidation of coal based carbon is different than oxidation of natural gas carbon
1) Natural gas is 25% hydrogen by weight (Coal is around 3 percent hydrogen). Much of the energy released by burning NG is from the oxidation of hydrogen.
2) Modern natural gas electric plants use the highly efficient "Combined cycle" design, which converts about 60% of the chemical energy in the NG into electricity. Coal plants do not use combined cycle, and typically get about 40% conversion.
Add those factors together, and it's not hard to see that per mole of carbon, methane can yield about twice as many watt/hours as coal.
The "problem" is that there isn't a one world government.
That's the "problem with CO2".
Exactamento. Gas and electricity generated on-site back out utility power and gas, and you can actually go negative-balance and get paid retail for the gas and electricity you produce. This does happen in some locations, such as southern Ohio, where people sometimes have old, capped-off wellheads in their basements or yards that have just enough residual natural-gas pressure on the casing that they'll flow to a stove or furnace.
Item, if you must sequester CO2 in volume, the best place to do it is in a partially- or mostly-depleted conventional oil reservoir or a high-carbon shale (like the Eagleford in central and south Texas or the Bakken in Montana and North Dakota) that is known to produce liquid hydrocarbons. The CO2 mobilizes kerogen and bitumen in the shale or sand reservoirs enough that it can be migrated, captured and produced.
CO2 flooding is a secondary-production technique practiced for generations now in older oil fields like those being rejuvenated by massive-frac technology in the old Paleozoic trends of the Ohio Valley.
There are fracking operations going on all over the area surrounding Bayou Corne. Apparently they didn't get the message that fracking isn't a good idea. Too late. Seismic activity initiated by the fracking and methane pressure from under the salt domes is breaking them apart.
= = = = = =
BS Hydraulic Fracturing is not related in any way. There is not any substantial claim of such.
It is leaking out everywhere, and if the planet is elventy billion year old, it would have leaked out long ago. Don't you just wish to get a glimpse into an organic chemistry book from the 24th century...

Rams' Jackson, Amendola sit out Wednesday
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Dec 5 2012 4:55PM
During the first of three practices leading up to their game against the Buffalo Bills, the St. Louis Rams were without two key pieces of their offense at practice.
Starting running back Steven Jackson and wide receiver Danny Amendola are among five players that did not participate on Wednesday for the Rams. According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Jackson has sat out each of the past three Wednesdays with a foot injury and eventually played in the game on Sunday. Meanwhile Amendola's foot injury is on the mend after having to sit out of the team's last game against San Francisco.
Rounding out the Rams' injury report are linebacker Mario Haggan (elbow), tight end Mike McNeill (thigh) and center Scott Wells (knee). All three did not participate in the session.
The Bills take on the Rams on Sunday.
