The Class A Advanced Blue Rocks turned an unusual triple play en route to a 9-2 win over the Carolina Mudcats.
With runners on the corners and no outs in the third inning, starting pitcher Leondy Perez struck out Giovanny Urshela. Catcher Kevin David threw to second baseman Luis Piterson, who tagged out Tony Wolters attempting a steal of second. Piterson fired the ball home as Tyler Holt attempted to take home on the rundown between first and second. David threw the ball to third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert, who ended the rundown by tagging out Holt.
For those scoring at home, it was a 2-4-2-5 triple play best described as a strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out, throw-'em-out triple play. It is believed to be the third triple play in the Royals affiliate's history.
The play turned out to be a big one as the Blue Rocks rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to score nine runs over the next four innings. David finished 4-for-4 with a career-high four RBIs while Alex McLure drove in three.
Perez earned his first win, allowing a pair of unearned runs on four hits over five innings.

If they're going to fix what makes it too easy, they could also fix pet and guardian pathing and targeting for the same mechanic (siegecrafter belt), but I guess that's too much to ask sometimes.

It's really controversial to bring up at all but it's too late now mwaha /opencanofworms
Imo any way that you can go up multiple times in a row is an exploit somewhat - If it wasn't, there wouldn't be a debuff preventing it in the first place. It's such a huge advantage on bleeding edge progression, but not such a big deal now. @Sesshou I was talking about all the ways you could get up twice too, not just with CnD. It's also not like they didn't know from day 2 of heroic progression either... Of course they were watching BL who obviously used it, and maybe even Envy who weren't that far behind, yet they didn't decide to stop it until a few weeks after. Quite an extreme case of an indecisive stance, yet one that cost some guilds that did it 'legit' a fair bit in the race.

It is simple.
There is a Line of Sight wall on the edge of the belt.
So you can use ability like disengage or druid TP (I don't know what it is exactly but moonkin can do every belt). So the warlock jump from demonology will work as well.
If your ability needs to target something on the belt, you can't use it.
I know that you cant do it when the Hunter is already on the belt, but.....
Has anyone tried it when the hunter is halfway in the air while he disengages ? o.o
Even then, I'm pretty sure Shadowstep didn't give forward momentum so you'd just fall to your death.

Robins, Iowa
The Olejniczak household could easily be divided when it comes to its loyalties, but Kristen (Kollmorgen) '88 and Lon have a lot of practice in teamwork. In addition to sharing family and home duties, they are both executives at Transamerica Capital, a division of AEGON USA in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Having grown up in Decorah, Lon went on to the University of Iowa to become a standout two-sport athlete. While he didn't go to Luther, he has an emotional investment in Luther College which stems from growing up in Decorah and serving as assistant Norse football coach from 1984–88.
"I grew up in a sports family, and I have a great appreciation for athletes and coaches," says Lon. "When I coached under Bob Naslund '65, I developed many lifelong friendships with staff and players."
The Olejniczak's investments in Luther, the University of Iowa and their community are a natural extension of their focus on fostering winning athletes and coaches. In addition to their support of the University of Iowa Carver Hawkeye Arena Expansion and the Decorah Community School's baseball field renovation project, the Olejniczak's were early members of Luther's Norse Athletic Association.
Their investment in both the Annual Fund and NAA allowed Kristen and Lon to fulfill their personal goals while adding value to Luther. "We believe in athletics at Luther, where we know the focus is on both academic rigor and athletic excellence," Kristen notes.

Good But Not GreatI just used the croc. I was excited because i read some of the reviews comparing it to Sedu. But i dind't see a difference. The only thing different it that it SEEMS that it's gentler, but it doens't get your hair completely straight. it leaves it still a little frizzier. My hair is thick and very curly so I had to raise the temperature way up and it still was not better than my Sedu. i think i just waited my money. It's good if you DONT have a nice flat iron. But if you're on a budget a Sedu is much better, worth the moneyApr 13, 2010Lucia

One Of The Best!!!!!I bought the Croc about 2 months ago and was waiting to write my review, but Im happy to report that this flatiron is awesome. My hair is actually healthier and shiny. It stays smooth all day long and doesnt frizz at all. My hairstylist recommended it and Im glad I got it. Try it..you will love it too.Feb 24, 2010Veronica / Texas

Fastest Straightening Flat Iron I Have Ever KnownI needed a new Flat iron since my iron of about 4 1/2 years had to be replaced. I decided to do some research to find another flat iron that would do as good of a job or better than the one I owned previously, which was the Sedu flat iron. I got this one to give it a try, it seems to be fairly new so there were few reviews but each review seemed to give it top scores and the technology behind it sounded promising.Also it seemed to have properties that would help the hair versus damage it further as most other irons do typically. It is a Korean product, and knowing of how Korean salons as well as Japanese salons have some of the best innovations for hair straightening, I felt more convinced to try this one out for myself. So far I really like this one. It cut my hair straightening time literally in half if not more than half the time it used to take me with my Sedu! and the Sedu iron is a pretty good iron. So I was shocked! I was done with my hair in 15 minutes! when usually it would take me anywhere from 30 minutes to and hour to straighten my hair normally with any other iron! So if you want to give a chance to a new iron that has the possibility to help straighten in half the time and also help your hair condition as well, I would recommend trying this one out.Feb 8, 2010Beautymodel / California, USA

Croc 1 Infrared Flat Iron - RocksI feel like I've just come out of the salon! BABY... It is the BEST flat iron EVER. I will recommend this to anyone I come in contact with as it ROCKS. Never have I ever owned such AWESOME equipment. My hair is thick and this unit is indescribable. You will not be disappointed!Jan 25, 2010Liz / Lake Wylie, SC- USA

Awesome, Awesome StraightenerI got this hair straightener as a gift because I was using the cheap wet to dry one you buy at your local stores, well needless to say, my hair is severely damaged. I have thick, naturally curly hair and I have to straighten my hair everyday because I hate my curly hair, due to the cheap straightener I had to take hair vitamins, use rogaine, and constantly deep condition my hair with reconstructors. Since using the new croc iron, my hair is coming back to life and it has never looked better, it leaves my hair smooth, silky, and not frizzy. I use to have to go over my hair 3-4 times but with the croc iron, I only have to do it once, maybe twice and my hair is poker straight. I couldnt go out before without my hair getting curly from humidity and having to straighten it again later, but with the croc iron, I dont have that problem, I can go 2 days without having to straighten it, I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it. I cannot stress enough that this flat iron will NOT let you down, if you have curly, unruly hair then this one is for you. I hope this helps.Jan 14, 2010Christy / Wellsville Oh United States

Simply The Best!I am IN LOVE with this flat-iron! I owned the SEDU for a couple of years and although it was a great product, I felt I needed an upgrade. So I took a chance and purchased the Croc! I am Latina with Shoulder-length wavy to curly hair. This iron with TWO strokes, your hair is completely flat! My hair lasted 3 days WITHOUT re-ironing or touch-ups!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!Nov 30, 2009Mz. Frenchy / NY, NY

thats awesome
Just trying to inform some alumni that dont get to see/know what changes are being made to our University
With the closing acts of the 2012-13 athletic year about to be played out at LSU, bats and balls and pads and cleats will be giving ground to construction cranes and concrete trucks. Though LSU's athletic plant is never truly in a state of completion — the state of the art in facilities being a constantly moving target — the next year and a half promises to be an exceptionally busy time. By the end of 2014, plans call for the completion of Tiger Stadium's latest addition, a new tennis complex, the start of a gymnastics practice facility, a home for LSU's newest sport and more. Here's a look at LSU's latest facility improvement plans:
Tiger Stadium
Work is in high gear at both ends of Tiger Stadium. On the south side, workers are laying the foundations for what will be about a 7,500-seat addition that will include club seats, suites, an upper deck seating area, standing room only areas, and new video scoreboards in the southeast and southwest corners of the old coliseum. The project, to be completed for the start of the 2014 season, will bring Tiger Stadium's capacity to approximately 100,000. At the north end, workers are installing an expanded scoreboard and sound system. Eddie Nunez, LSU's associate athletic director for operations and project development, said the sound system will be calibrated to take into account the south stadium addition. The scoreboard and sound system at the south end has been removed for the construction project. Also to be completed for this season: a rebuilt walkway around the north end of the stadium to replace old and cracked concrete; new entrance gates; and the replacement of old, rusted dormitory windows on the east and west sides of the stadium. "When we replace all the windows this summer, it'll look like it did when it was new," Athletic Director Joe Alleva said. "We don't want to change the character of the stadium, just restore it." The south stadium construction project is part of a $100 million bond issued by the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF), LSU's athletic fundraising organization. That money includes funding for the tennis and gymnastics facilities.
Tennis complex
W.T. "Dub" Robinson Tennis Stadium just north of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center has been home to the LSU tennis programs since 1976, but the lack of indoor playing facilities has been an anchor from a recruiting standpoint. That will soon change. Work will begin late this year on a complex with 12 outdoor and six indoor tennis courts, with a target date for completion between August 2014 and January 2015. "It's such a big step for the programs, for recruiting," said men's coach Jeff Brown, a former All-Southeastern Conference singles player as a Tiger and LSU's coach since 1998. "You have to be able to show the commitment. "Our facility will be a big bonus." The tennis complex will be built across from Alex Box Stadium on Gourrier Avenue, next to the LSU Ag Center's LaHouse facility. According to Brown, the indoor courts building will cover about 75,000 square feet and will include players lounges, locker rooms and a satellite training room. Brown said the program is still seeking to sell naming rights for the facility but said there has been interest from the family of the late Dub Robinson, who served as LSU's coach for nearly three decades.
Gymnastics practice facility
Never one to mince words, LSU gymnastics coach D-D Breaux said her program is at a disadvantage with regard to facilities to virtually every other top-20 team in the nation. With the addition of a practice facility, Breaux is excited about the prospects for her program. "This not just a want," Breaux said. "This is a need. We have built some beautiful facilities on this campus, which have enhanced the future of our other programs. That is what this will do for us." Gymnastics currently works out of a training hall in the Carl Maddox Field House that Breaux said is inadequate for the multiple training stations LSU needs. Work will begin on the gymnastics facility sometime after groundbreaking on the tennis facility, Breaux said. Alleva said it will be built on one of two parking lots between the north side of the PMAC and Robinson Tennis Stadium. Breaux said the practice facility will allow gymnastics, which finished fifth in the NCAA Super Six last month, to compete even more successfully. "If we finished fifth with the worst facilities (among top-20 teams), having this facility will really help our growth," said Breaux, who said she has no plans to retire before the building is completed. "We are so handicapped by our limitations. We're really excited by what we're able to offer our team and show recruits."
Sand volleyball
LSU's recently announced sand volleyball program will begin play in spring 2014, though just where remains a bit unclear. Nunez said feasibility studies are underway to see if Robinson Stadium can be converted to accommodate the new sport. If not, a location will have to be found somewhere else, he said. Meanwhile, the sand volleyball program will likely play its first season at a temporary facility, though senior associate athletic director Herb Vincent said those plans haven't been finalized yet. LSU coach Fran Flory will oversee both the indoor and sand volleyball programs. Sand volleyball is the first addition to LSU's athletic program since softball in 1997.
Nutrition center
LSU is exploring plans to build a nutrition center as part of its athletics complex, Alleva said. There is no timetable for the project, but Alleva said fundraising is underway. He said no money will be borrowed to build the nutrition center, which he estimated will cost about $9 million to $10 million. Current plans are to build the nutrition center at LSU's football facility, though it would serve all of the school's student-athletes. In addition to helping LSU's student-athletes eat better, the nutrition center will give LSU a place to entertain recruits and their families while on unofficial visits. Alleva said he is seeking to sell naming rights for the facility.
Sigma Chi House
Workers are putting the final touches on the construction of what experts call a roundabout, which is a circular intersection that slows but keeps traffic moving in one direction. It will replace stop signs and traffic signals.
This one is at the corner of Dalrymple and West Lakeshore, which any area motorist, especially when school is in session, knows is slow-moving at best and sometimes "Gridlock Central."
"It just didn't lend itself to traffic flow," said Jeff Campbell, senior director of administrative services, risk management and parking and transportation services at LSU. "It is dangerous," Campbell said.
Many of the nearly 30,000 students, faculty and support staff rely on Dalrymple to enter and leave the campus.

By COREY BLUEMEstaff writer
The board of the Emery Water Conservancy District tentatively set the allocation numbers for project water. In their April meeting, members discussed the snow pack and the effect of the recent storms on the pack numbers.
Jay Mark Humphrey informed the board of the snowfall amounts recorded for the previous day. Red Pine Ridge is 72 percent and Mammoth-Cottonwood is 71 percent. Humphrey reported that the numbers are looking a little better but we are by no means out of trouble. The state forecast is due in 7-10 days.
Humphrey explained that shareholders are beginning to inquire about the allocation for the summer months and requested the board to begin the process to set the percentages. After a review of the information, the board decided to tentatively set the project water allocation at 70 percent. This decision will be reviewed again at the May meeting and the final allocation will be made at that time.
Humphrey also requested that the board look at a situation above the Huntington Power Plant. He stated that the amount of water being released for the plant's use and the numbers on their reports do not coincide. He suggested the board consider building a weir in the stream directly above the power plant to measure the water going in more accurately. Humphrey stressed the need to have the plant call for the water they need in the same manner as required of other users
Installation of the weir would require 40 yards of concrete and cost the district $15,000 but this investment would alleviate questions in the usage amounts by the power plant. Kay Jensen responded to the board that he would take care of the instructions for the calling for water.
Other actions taken by the board that evening were to approve sending a letter requesting the closure of the San Rafael River basin to any new appropriations. Also the district is on a 90 day extension with their insurance company for services. The board instructed Humphrey to investigate and acquire bids for insurance coverage from other companies.
The weirs above Joe's Valley Reservoir on Seely Creek and Lowery Water are not accurate when the water levels are low. The board approved taking action to rectify the situation with the weirs. A list was reviewed on which the names of shareholders whose original stock certificates with the number of shares do not match the number on record with the district. They were discussed on an individual basis. Humphrey explained that there is no reason for the discrepancy and no one knows how it has happened but the situation needs to be remedied.
Craig Johansen updated the board about the wild and scenic river designations. The Cottonwood Creek and Huntington canal lining project is approximately 60 percent complete. The board was notified that an encroachment agreement for the north ditch trash screen project needs their signatures. Culverts for the Muddy Irrigation project have been purchased.
To end the meeting, the existing board was reinstalled to serve the upcoming year, Lee McElprang, chairman, Morris Sorenson, vice-chairman, Nick Sampino, counsel and Jay Mark Humphrey, manager.

The figure seated behind a curved and tilted table strewn with random ambiguous forms is a motif found often in Bonnard's work. The woman dressed in a dark dress looks down, away from the viewer. The cat with ears flattened and paw upraised interacts more directly. The cream-coloured table divides the painting into two sections, with the darker, richer colours in the background containing the nearly dissolving woman, flanked by two lighter rectangular sections. The fireplace on the right is balanced by a vertical slice on the left in a similar hue.
Note the relationship of circular shapes; the orange in the foreground, the woman's hand, and her head. Bonnard repeats other round shapes on the table, carefully placed around the perimeter of the painting and near the woman's hand. He contrasts these curvilinear shapes with a number of angular lines; the vertical lines of the red wall frame the cat and woman. The angle of the cat's body, straightened foreleg and flattened ears suggests an animation lacking in the stillness of the woman's body. Her slight lean towards the table and her steadying hand suggest she is waiting for something to happen. Bonnard creates an unstable, slipping quality in the bottom section of the painting by presenting the bowl of grapes from above, while the plate near the woman is on a flatter angle.
It is difficult to establish a strict chronology for Bonnard's work. He favoured several subjects, especially room interiors, landscapes, portraits, nudes and still lifes, returning to each of these randomly and repeatedly rather than in an orderly progression or series. When Bonnard first visited the Mediterranean in 1909 the light and colour of the region had a marked effect upon his palette. In 1912 he spent the Summer in Grasse in the South of France, however enclosed compositions such as this one could have been painted anywhere.

winter wrap-up
Few athletic accomplishments garner as much euphoria and celebration as winning a CIF championship.
As the winter season reaches its climax, so, too, do the aspirations of local teams still fighting for postseason lore.
Regardless of outcome, though, the successes and memories from the basketball, water polo, soccer and wrestling seasons will not be forgotten anytime soon.
Now, with the spring season finally up and running, the final crop of local sports teams has begun its three-month march to a CIF championship.

In defense of Gary Bettman
February 18 2009 09:10AM
Yeah we said it. We are going to defend Gary Bettman. So what? Wanna fight about it?
As anyone with operating eye and ear organs knows, there is a lot of talk around the league about how half the teams in the NHL are seemingly on the verge of mid-game economic collapse. The poster boy for economic woe is of course the Phoenix Coyotes and their owner Jerry Moyes. Despite the overwhelming challenges these "solvency challenged" teams face, one guy remains squarely in their corner, performing the thankless job of propping up screwed franchises as he has for over 16 years:
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the league is trying to help the financially struggling Phoenix Coyotes and called reports of the franchise's demise "ridiculous" on Wednesday night. Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes has been seeking buyers for the Coyotes, who reportedly are losing more than $30 million per year. "There's been a tremendous amount of speculation and commentary about the state of the Coyotes and most of it has been terribly unfair to the Coyotes, to the players and to the fans," Bettman said. Obviously, there are issues we're working on - getting some capital infusion for the club ... possibly some new partners for Jerry Moyes or even a possible sale." Bettman would not disclose the names of any potential financial partners for the Coyotes but said "we're working on bringing this to a conclusion by season's end." Bettman also said the NHL "has a good track record" of helping other struggling teams get financially healthy again and dismissed speculation that the Coyotes would be relocated. "The reports of the franchise's demise are just ridiculous," he said. "Jerry Moyes has been committed to Glendale and committed to the Coyotes. All of this blanket characterization of 'hockey doesn't work in the Sun Belt' is just hogwash. I think the Coyotes have a bright future on the ice."
We are starting to feel for Bettman a little bit these days. In certain circles, the guy is about as popular as Chris Brown (post limo-ride) and he takes a constant beating on sites, radio shows, message boards and articles all around the league. If you listen to some folk, Bettman is to blame for pretty much everything that is going wrong in the NHL. As fun as it is to rag on the guy for not comprehending the importance of fighting in the game or for his repeated attempts to "Americanize" the game, it's evident that his job is getting less and less fun with each passing day of this economic hullabaloo.
At the risk of being unpopular—oh wait who gives a shit?—we're going to come to his defense for two reasons. Firstly, we know that we will eventually be sued in some capacity by the legal arm of the NHL. We want to get this article entered into the Internet Vault long before we come face to face with a pantheon of lawyers that will claim we hate every business facet of the NHL. Secondly, we think that if it weren't for Gary Bruce Bettman, none of us would be sitting here on a Wednesday morning in February, warily eyeing a playoff berth on behalf of the Edmonton Oilers. It was his support of small market Canadian teams—coupled with the efforts of many, not least of which include the EIG—that allowed the team to remain in E-Town.
Yeah, yeah we know. "Gary Bettman doesn't like fighting. Gary Bettman is against no-touch icing. Gary Bettman has been sent to Earth via wormhole to alter the space-time continuum and tip the balance of power in the Delta Quadrant." This may very well be the case, but let's take a trip down memory lane and put his reign in proper context shall we? Anyone have to go to the bathroom before we leave? No?
The Bettman Years
We can vividly recall when ol' Uncle Gary took to the stage in 1993. These were the dark days—you will recall Nation—when every second story on the news about the Oilers involved their imminent departure to somewhere warm and sunny. TSN had even gone so far as to make a graphic for the story—a mocked up For Sale sign with an Oilers logo displayed front and centre. Did you think the OilersNation forgot about your treachery TSN? You heartless sons of bitches... Commissioner Stein had just checked out of his one-year tenure as NHL President, which had given him ample time to call his own number and be shadily inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. On February 1, 1993 the reins were handed to Bettman and a new era began for the NHL.
We can remember the day that a young and brash Gary Bettman swaggered into Edmonton fresh from his doings over at the NBA. The NHL was then much like it is today: no national US TV deal, relatively small revenues compared to other leagues and labour unrest waiting around every corner. Bruce McNall was chairman of the NHL board of governors, for heavens sake—and was looking forward to a long career as an NHL owner and a non-inmate of the United States Penal System. Here in E-Town the Oilers bench solidly outnumbered the crowd in the stands at RX1 and most of the front office staff busied themselves preparing for a move to Atlanta, Hamilton, Houston or worse.
Bettman rolled in and talked about his commitment to seeing teams remain in Canada and his further commitment to small-market teams that were struggling financially. These promises were promptly met with the almost immediate departure of both the Nordiques and Jets for the States. For a prepubescent Wanye, there was little to suggest that the Oilers wouldn't be the next to depart. We were convinced that the Oil were as good as gone and began crying ourselves to sleep on a nightly basis while tightly clutching our Jason Arnott sweatpants.
But as the mid-90s progressed and the years went on, the oddest thing happened: the Oilers didn't leave town and Bettman held true to his word that he would do his best to keep the Oil in Edmonton. Bettman "championed the Canadian assistance plan, a revenue-sharing agreement that saw American teams give money to help support the four small-market Canadian teams—Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Vancouver—throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s."
Let's not kid ourselves. When the Oil sold for a jaw dropping $200,000,000 last year, the good fans of the OilersNation and the gigantic wallet of Kay-Z repaid Mr. Bettman's faith many, many times over. But one must never forget that there were a great many years in the middle where Bettman worked with the City, and various other orders of government and the business community here in Edmonton to keep the team on the ice and our Oilers sweatpants firmly on our legs.
Fast forward to good times
We can recall seeing Bettman on the Jumbotron at RX1 during the Cup run of '06. These were slightly different times in the Nation and we were all in the process of cheering each and every Oilers related anything we came across:
Guy at the corner has an Oilers flag on his car? Woooooo!
Radio stations play Nickelback or one of the dozens of Oilers tribute songs? Woooooo!
Gary Bettman is on the jumbotron? Woooooo!
We can distinctly recall his look of genuine happiness as Bettman appeared on the big screen and saluted the crowd, the members of which were busy unbolting their chairs from the arena stands and throwing them into the air with joy. The look on his face seemed to suggest that Bettman's plan to "keep a team in this Siberian Railtown" had worked.*
Like it or not, Nation, this guy knows his business of hockey and most likely goes to bed at night wishing that he had arenas full of rabid Oilers-fan types paying in American dollars to see American Teams. He may not have strapped on the old skateroos and played in some Byzantine hockey league but we have to think that after 16 years on the job he has earned more respect than he is given.
*We made this quote up.
Where my TV deal at?
One of the common gripes against Bettman is his inability to sell the game south of the border and his insistence on favouring American over Canadian cities when looking to expand or relocate NHL teams. Bear in mind that Bettman has been trying to sell our favourite game to American TV networks for 16 years. And it hasn't been all bad—before we all laugh heartily at his efforts to sign these TV deals let's take a quick look at his track record since taking the job:
Bettman quickly accomplished one of his stated goals, signing a five-year, $155 million deal with the Fox Broadcasting Company to broadcast NHL games nationally beginning in the 1994–95 season. The deal was significant, as a network television contract in the United States was long thought unattainable during the presidency of John Ziegler. Despite falling ratings, Bettman negotiated a five year, $600 million deal with ABC and ESPN in 1998. It was the largest television contract the NHL ever signed. The $120 million per year that ABC and ESPN paid for rights dwarfed the $5.5 million that the NHL received from American national broadcasts in 1991–92. The NHL's television fortunes have faded since the ABC deal, however. In 2004, the league could only manage a revenue sharing deal with NBC, with no money paid up front by the network. Also, coming out of the lockout, ESPN declined its $60 million option for the NHL's cable rights in 2005–06. While wishing to retain the NHL, it stated the cost was overvalued. However, Bettman was able to negotiate a deal with Comcast to air the NHL on the Outdoor Life Network channel, now called Versus. The three year deal was worth $207.5 million. Bettman has been heavily criticized for the move to Versus, as detractors have argued that the league has lost a great deal of exposure since moving to the much smaller network.
First off, where in the hell did the Outdoor Life Channel get its greasy hands on $207.5 million? Does someone at the network have naked pictures of the President of Comcast? Holy crap! Secondly, you think you're frustrated at your job? Imagine Bettman. First, he signs a gigantic TV deal within 18 months of taking the job, then despite falling ratings he is somehow able to re-up a deal four times as big. What should be one of the legacies of his tenure has now become a black eye as the deals have gotten progressively worse, ratings have tailed off and the NHL is essentially right back where it started, though they do have an impossibly lucerative Versus deal in their pocket. Reading this timeline, you get the feeling that Bettman has consisetently delivered the best TV deal available to him. It is the ratings that are killing the collective efforts of the NHL.
It's this inability to attract legions of new beer swilling, t-shirt purchasing and hard rock loving American fans to the game that has haunted Bettman and Company throughout his reign at the top of the NHL chart.
Same old, same old
It must be like Groundhog day for Bettman over at NHL offices with the essentially the same to do list every single day:
- Help (insert screwed Franchise here) get back on its feet;
- Get better TV deal for league; and,
- Shake head in disbelief at quarterly NASCAR ratings.
Can you imagine being NHL Commissioner for 16 years? Watching owner after owner get carted off to jail, dealing with franchises perpetually flying into the ground at Mach 11 and yet still having the task of attracting new sponsors, broadcasters and franchise owners? How about not one but two labour disputes on your watch as players and owners engage in a marathon game of "who is the bigger bunch of idiots?" Still want the job? That kind of blind perseverance alone in the face of tremendous losses should make him an Honorary Citizen of the OilersNation.
For a man who is so powerful that after three phone calls he had his half brother Jeffrey named Commissioner of the World Series of Poker it must be an exercise in frustration on most days.
Now that this economic shitstorm (represented in the picture above as the burned out engine of a car) is going down in the US, the shoe is on the other foot. Canadian teams now seem to be amongst the most stable and it's a great many American teams that are in now in dire financial trouble. Bettman is faced with another round of doing what he has always done: putting out fires, propping up the weak sisters of the league and insisting that all is fine. It's no day at the beach defending unscrupulous owners in dubious hockey markets in an attempt to keep leverage in negotiations with new unscrupulous owners in these same dubious hockey markets.
5,848 days after he started as Commissioner of the League, Gary Bettman faces the exact same problems that were on his plate on Day One. Mentally stunted owners that alternate between spending like drunken sailors and going tits up. A crappy TV deal that while potentially lucerative, lacks the large scale exposure that will be necessary to one day grow the game south of the border. Waning interest in many secondary US markets which threatens numerous teams already weakened by the stalled economy. This is the NHL as it stands today. And still Gary goes to work every morning trying to shore things up and improve the league so that we may enjoy the game for years to come.
Bless his heart. Seriously.

If the man could actually admit that all is not well and stop insulting our collective intelligence.... he would get a lot more support. Although, I have always wondered why he is so vehemently booed every time he hands the cup out.
February 18 2009, 09:34AM
I never thought someone could make Bettman sound like a good man. Nice article.
Wow, ya, I guess. Bettman can be a douche, but at least the OIl are still in Etown!!!! I can't believe how many jets and nordique hats, shirts and uni's I still see...makes ya think how close we came to the abyss!!!! fmnf.....kpnf
February 18 2009, 09:36AM
@ Travis Dakin:
As the guy who is effectively in charge of the business that is the NHL it is his job to present that solid "all is well front." Admitting things are not well in a non-constructive fashion will only serve to destabilize the league further.
You're right though about the booing. I think he needs to be more approachable or at least easier to relate to. Though if I was President of anything I would insist no one look me directly in the eye and I would have a team of body guards that would tazer anyone who comes within 15 feet of me.
It could be worse, he could be Bud Selig.
Wanye: Why so much negativity? Everything is fine. Fine, I tell you. -- The hockey market in Glendale is one Stanley Cup run from cutting operating losses by as much as 10 per cent. -- Fans in Nashville will be back, if they can somehow find their way out of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (seating capacity 43) and buy the tickets the team already bought. -- Economic crisis? NHL governors planned all along to be operating with a $17.5 million salary cap by 2010-11. That's not a disaster, it's frugal. -- As a back-up to escrow, Bettman's already working on an arrangement with Pay Day Loan Inc., to ensure all franchises have adequate cash flow to cover the contracts of the 100-plus players who are now signed through 2015. -- While not widely reported, Bettman is closing in on a national TV deal that will capture a younger demographic and see a record number of games broadcast on The Treehouse Network, Channel 17 (local blackouts apply). Word is, Bob The Builder and Upsy Daisy will host NHL Tonight on the Big Comfy Couch.

@ Wanye Gretz: I totally understand the spin doctor roll, it's just to sit there and say there is nothing wrong with say, the Coyotes while you are busy using league finances to prop them up is a little hard to swallow. His insistance on allowing teams to lose money when there are clearly better markets for them (and I don't mean Winnipeg- sorry guys but you f*cked up by building a 15,000 seater) out there is baffling. He wouldn't sell to Balsillie yet let Leipold bail on the Preds to take over the Wild... It's mind boggling. Credit where credit is due, He along with the great EIG did save our mighty oil but like the EIG, his time has come and gone. But having said that, I will forever be thankful for what he did.

February 18 2009, 10:14AM
I read the book "Game Misconduct: Alan Eagleson and the Corruption of Hockey" by Russ Conway. I gained a new appreciation for Bettman after reading that book. John Ziegler, Alan Eagleson and Bill Wirtz all had a straglehold on the league and they controlled the players and the CBA strong enough to keep salaries hidden which kept the salaries for all the players down. Not to mention the disgusting way they handled disability payouts (or lack thereof) to veteran and retired players. There was a quote in the book from Bettman, when he just joined the NHL, where he said "my new house is full of termites" or something like that. It showed that he saw the corruption and that he didn't agree with it and that he was willing to clean it up.
I also had a new appreciation for Ritch Winters as he spoke out and fought against Alan Eagleson well before Gary came along and well before Russ Conway's book and investigating came out.
February 18 2009, 10:15AM
@ Travis Dakin:
And I completely agree with your point. I think it's more the job of the media and the talking heads to point out the obvious in Phoenix. It's the job of the league and Bettman to pay the interim bills and find a long term solution to the issue while saying nothing to undermine the value of the team, the viability of an NHL franchise as an investment or to diss the City of Glendale/Scottsdale/Phoenix or whatever they are calling themselves.
TD and I could write a book back and forth about the pros and cons about moving teams all over hells half acre. I obviously think that Flin Flon should have 3 NHL teams before Kansas City gets anything but that is neither here nor there.
Say what you want about the NHL of late - it's stable at least. I think moving teams around with the frequency of Spanish Arena Football would do little to attract better quality owners and more committed fanbases. The NBA moves teams around far too often IMO.
If I had to put my finger on what is holding back the NHL from moving up in the pecking order of the big four leagues I would say it is as follows:
1. The overall economy 2. Inability to excite the unwashed American masses 3. Lack of a major American TV deal to broadcast games 4. Poor media exposure overall in the US (papers, radio, ESPN etc)
I would also say that better quality owners would do nothing but help the game and the league and this is where I think things are really falling down. Everytime you let some asswad like those clowns in TBay buy a team, every time a Boots Del whatever pops up in Nashville, it greatly undermines the league as a business.
Imagine they could sell a franchise to someone like Rupert Murdoch. Aside from his direct pipeline to Satan, Murdoch's media empire would do wonders for the NHL.
Instead the NHL is only able to attract the guy who made Saw. This is why they love Katz - much to the chagrin of Deep Oil.
Short answer: Fire Mactavish Now Fuckers
Long Answer: FMNF is a shorthand that was established about a week ago by Wanye so people could demand MacT's head be put put on a pike facing 118th Ave without having to dedicate an entire post to saying so. The originating blog post is here, http://www.oilersnation.com/2009/02/fmnf/

Maybe they could get Dora the Explorer to do the player interviews? I'm sure her questions couldn't be worse than Mean Genes, could they?
Wayne; People always boo Bettman when he hands out the cup bc he rambles on about how great the owners, and the organization are, and what a pretty trophey Lord Stanely is. Just give the cup to the Captain and exit stage left Gary!
Top Gun articel Wayne, Top Gun!
Also, Bettman looks like he could play The Count in the Sesame Street movie. "One failed franchise, two failed franchises, HAHAHAHAHA!!!..."

That's only one side of the coin though.
Using the Oilers as an example, yes they pretty much had the skate sharpening machine booked for shipping to Houston and Bettman played a big role in keeping them here BUT it still came down to the fans in order for it to happen. The cicumstances were very clear and what was needed from the fans and business community was also very clear. When push came to shove the fans signed on and the business community stepped up.
Fast forward to today and you are not seeing the same type of ultimatum's being issued. An ultimatum that proved necessary in the past.
When you listen close enough to what Bettman says, I think he is being pretty honest if not completely forthright. But because he is so cryptic he comes off as dismissive of how significant the problems are.
What is the only way Phoenix gets back on it's feet? It's not by finding another investor willing to lose money it is by challenging the fans to show that they want the team to stay. Until that happens it is just shuffling the deck chairs.
It's a shame too because the team appears poised to take a nice step forward on the ice and yet Don Maloney was basically quoted in Mark Spector's article that he can't even negotiate a contract extension with Morris, who he wants to keep, because his hands are tied financially until the end of June. How that type of situation not considered dire?
Presenting some spin that things aren't as bad as they seem is likely doing more harm than good in this case because as of yet there hasn't even been a hint of indication that the people of Phoenix know they have to step up or simply aren't willing to do so.
If they have no intention of doing so under any circumstance then Bettman is being negligent in getting that franchise out of there. Canada, where hockey is a religion, lost two franchises so I have a hard time figuring out why there would be such bad optics if a city in the desert did the same thing.

You make excellent points Rick. I just think that he really has no obligation to disclose the finances of a privately held company to a media that will run with the story and do nothing but dramatically lower the value of the team in the process. He is being as honest as he really needs to be IMO, saying 'there are issues, they are being dealt with.'
Job #1 for Bettman is to solve the problem in Phoenix. Telling the rabid hordes of journalists the full extent of the issue is a disservice to everyone involved. It's kind of like a Doctor telling a dying patient 'things are going to be fine.' It doesn't really do anyone any harm to put up a false front of positivity in either situation I don't think.
I also think Maple Syrup is a valid substitute for KY Jelly so really who cares what I think though.
The number of Americans registered in minor hockey has more than doubled since 1991 and has quadrupled since 1979. In another generation, the numbers Stateside will eclipse those in Canada. Hockey will grow in the States from the "grass roots"... There needs to be a critical mass of interest in any market. If a building is likely to be full; an even greater number of people wish to be there. If a season ticket has street value; more people are interested in having them...
A healthy American appetite for Hockey... HMMMMMM. Be careful what you wish for!

To play the devil's advocate, Bettman had no issues with running to the media saying that most teams were losing money and things were in dire straights as the league headed into the lockout and for the entire year it was on.
So although I agree that he doesn't have an obligation to disclose everything there is an element of precedence that the media can hold up to try and keep Bettman consistant in how he does things.

Articles are being written about Calgarian W Brett Wilson buying a stake in Nashville now - yes the guy from "Dragons Den" who hands out money because he has TOO MUCH OF IT. Another charity project for him. I would imagine Bettman is phoning him every 10 minutes now.

@ Rick: Again I agree with you Rick - Bettman does have some level of obligation to disclose how franchises are operating - particularly given the amount of public dollars invested in most of these teams.
I'm just saying that at this stage of the game - when the NHL/Coyotes have most likely entered into negotiations with parties to come and inject cash into the franchise in the next few months- overly negative or alarming statements would do nothing except lessen the value of the team.
On a totally unrelated topic....
Does anyone else think the Senators have totally messed up this season by going on their little winning streak?
They are basically taking themselves out of a Tavares sweepstakes.
Unless they are trying to follow the Oilers model as of late? You know the one - play poorly enough to miss the playoffs but well enough to miss out on a sure fire draft pick!!!

Just because I like arguing.
Would a potential investor actually ever be swayed by what the media may or may not offer up?
The behind closed doors information that an investor would be provided will always be more comprehensive than what the media could get and more telling than the spin or interpretation a reporter could offer.
My point being, anyone that is interested enough to actually enter into nogotiations would base their decision on all of the actual books and fully disclosed 'goods' on what the team is facing which will always be more than the media could put together.
The reality of the situation has devalued the franchise, not the media reporting on it.

Wanye, is this why you've been so quiet lately? Scribing this masterpiece? Good read.
In my mind, there are a few things that affect the expansion of hockey in the US: * A lack of TV support - Soccer's in the same realm, but soccer is improving in acceptance. Hockey is, despite the good TV deals, flat. Versus is a terrible option for the NHL, primarily due to a nonexistant marketing campaign. I have no idea when a hockey game will next be on Versus, and I look for them. The fact is that Fox, NBC, and versus have never stacked up to the level of SNet or TSN because they don't give the sport proper billing. * A lack of childhood support - Again, I'll draw a connection to soccer. The fact is that most states not named Alaska, North Dakota, or Minnesota have very little in the way of junior hockey programs. Ice rinks in general are difficult to find. Soccer fields? Look at any public park. I know that, despite my proximity to the Canadian border and fairly wintery winters, I do not have a peewee hockey team within a hundred miles of me. My daughter and son won't grow up on skates like I did...Unless someone wants to sponsor me for a Canadian work visa?
Soccer leagues are developing their own fan base. It's taken them twenty years, but latitude and time are starting to bear fruit. Adults that played soccer as children are much more likely to support a league and associated TV deals.

@ Rick:
I also like arguing. It beats the hell out of working.
You are quite right in that the behind closed door meetings will ultimately do the deal and the not press coverage surrounding the team. However, I think that optics play a large part in purchasing an NHL team. The value of an NHL team value is VERY hard to quantify. Example: Ducks sell for $75 million in 2006 and the Oilers sell for $200 million in 2008. Go figure.
As such the sale price is heavily reliant on the accumulated goodwill of a team.
Goodwill (from wikipedia): the portion of the book value of a business entity not directly attributable to its assets and liabilities; it normally arises only in case of an acquisition. It reflects the ability of the entity to make a higher profit than would be derived from selling the tangible assets.
Talking publicly about problems with the team does two things:
1. Substantially reduces the value of the goodwill of the team. The goodwill value of the team is always going to be a hard fought number - but will be a considerable portion of the value of the team. Bad press focusing on finances will do little but reduce this amount and the subsequent sale price of the team.
2. In the event negotiations with Potential Owner A are unable to lead to a deal you have to go back to the public at large. A team that has been in protracted negotiations and given tons of bad financial press won't exactly have the good potential owners/investors coming out of the woodwork nor will as much goodwill remain in the mind of any new Potential Owners who have just watched the team get dragged through the financial muck in the media, then saw the other owner exit negotiations.
@ Wanye Gretz:
(stunned silence)
Uh, you win (?) Holy Crap.
When are you going to take all this ad money rolling in and buy an NHL team with it? Make Willis your GM and Brownlee the Coach! hahaha
Seriously are you an idiot or a genius??????

He'll never change. He got fed his medicine though thats for sure. Too bad all the players don't play with the same intensity and loyalty that Theo has. Did you hear his interview with Principe? He's a beauty.
Wanye - Your verbal shitstorm wore me out. I am putting on my adult diaper-equipped jammies and going to bed.
By the way Bettman looks like the love-child of Woody Allen and Glenda (the good witch).

George Rogers Ruined my Childhood
by Greg Bauch
posted Dec 1 2010 10:53AM
My mother not only supported my addiction, but she personally funded several transactions.
She used to let me go through her purse for change to buy football cards.
My mom's purse smelled like spearmint. My mom always had gum but she would only chew half sticks at a time. Not many people knew about the horrible gum shortage of the 1980's. She would ration her gum for the greater good. Because her purse contained several ripped pieces of Wrigley, you would reach into her purse for dimes and come out with sticky fingers.
It was all probably a scheme to get my fingerprints in case I ever turned to murder.
The first eight years of my life were loose change and football cards. Nothing else mattered. I hardly ever worried about politics or global warming.
Small stacks of Topps Football cards were about 40 cents. The big mother pack with a featured 1,000 yard rusher were 75 cents. The wrapping was clear, so you could see the first card. The advantage of the extra 35 cents was the ability to choose your 1,000 rusher. That way, you could assure yourself of not getting a double.
I hated George Rogers. Something happened at the Tops plant in 1986 that caused the mass production of 'George Rogers' cards.
Some poor guy, probably at the end of an overnight double shift, accidentally backed into the 'George Rogers' button right before heading out on a 3-day weekend. Now, 8 year olds who just managed to scrape together 75 cents had two choices; their 5th George Rogers 1,000 rusher card or no cards.
It was like a plague.
I had over 20 George Rogers. My G.I. Joe troops used 'George Rogers' 1,000 yard rusher cards as target practice for their boot camps; Police firing range-style.
I wonder if George Rogers ever imagined, while following Joe Jacoby off-tackle for a 4-yard gain, that all of his hard work would ultimately mean his image would be burned onto a glossy 2.5 X 3.5 card that I would use to kill spiders.
I'll bet he would have kneeled at 999 yards.
I kept my George Rogers 1,000 yard rusher cards in a separate pile, stacked upon my dresser. They came in handy as drink coasters and scrap paper for phone messages.
If I was playing 1986 Tops Football card War with Michael Bauer, the 'George Rogers' 1,000 yard rusher card was the '2'. (Steve Largent's 'Record Breaker Most Seasons with 50 or More Catches' card was an ace.)
Sometimes I would feel bad about my treatment of George Rogers 1,000 yard rusher cards. Luckily, I could use all of those extra George Rogers 1,000 yard rusher cards to dry my tears. And plus, screw him because he was probably a millionaire.
The only thing worse than the 1986 George Rogers 1,000 yard rusher card was the 1986 E.J. Junior. Put your helmet on, loser.

The cost of filling up your vehicle's gas tank continues to go up. In Massachusetts, motorists are paying an average of $3.73 per gallon for regular fuel, a 3-cent increase over last week, and a 28-cent jump over the past month. Energy analysts like Mike Lynch say the current price spike reflects an increase in the global price of crude oil. Lynch, a petroleum market consultant based in Amherst, says that's due in turn, to a combination of factors. Among them are continuing sanctions against Iran that have cut oil exports by a million barrels a day, and commodity traders being bullish on the state of the US economy.
"The traders in New York look at the possibility of economic recovery and think that that's going to tighten the market. And so they've bid up the crude oil price quite a bit. Second to that is some refinery troubles on the east coast and the Midwest that have just tightened some local markets."
Like the shutdown of a New Jersey refinery, which is expected to cut gasoline supplies to New England by 7½%, driving prices even higher, according to Aaron Kupek, a spokesman for AAA's Allied Group in Connecticut. The average there stands at $3.96/gallon, the fourth highest in the country. Kupek says he won't be surprised to see regular gas eclipse the $4.00 mark in the very near future.
"When you move into the spring, you might see some moderation and some leveling off of the prices. And then, of course, you're heading into the busy summer travel season where you have more of a demand for gasoline. And at least here in Connecticut, come July 1st, you're going to see that increase in the gross receipts tax which, if you look at current prices, would add another four cents a gallon to the price of gasoline."
Kupek says motorists will probably have to resign themselves to seeing $4.00/gallon gas become the new normal. But analyst Mike Lynch says prices have spiked before only to drop significantly, and calls the prospect of $4.00 gasoline as the new normal "slightly better than a ranked guess".

Struggling to save a deposit? Why not move back home? I did, and now the whole family has benefited
I hate to boast, but this Christmas I gave my father a luxury home and picked up one for myself too. Not thanks to a banker's bonus or a late great-aunt's legacy, but rather a curious side-effect of the capital's runaway rents. A year ago the owner of the East London flat that I'd inhabited for years increased the rent to an amount I couldn't hope to meet, in effect handing me my notice.
My search for a new home only turned up places that were smaller, inferior and more expensive than the one I was having to leave. Exasperated,

Why would this even be considered something to have?
I know some folks are suggesting a tool for the blind, but as it's proposed in the article it doesn't sound like that's the intention.With image-tweaking services like Instagram turning our everyday photos into vintage snapshots, it seems like photography itself is taking a step back in time. A new camera prototype turns that idea completely on its head by producing a text description of each photo you shoot, rather than capturing an actual image. It's called the Descriptive Camera, and it just might be the next big thing in photography.
