Cody Stewart the Governor's Energy Advisor spoke in the recent Division of Oil, Gas and Mining collaborative meeting. He has been working with Congressman Bishop's Office on the public lands initiative. He referred to the report that came out recently from Cong. Bishop's staff which outlines where they are to date with the initiative and those involved. He said public lands disputes have been ongoing for the past 30-40 years. His father worked in natural resources 24 years ago and the same conversations are taking place now as then.
There's been a lot of distrust between environmentalists, energy producers, state and county representatives and the general public.
Cong. Bishop wants to come together and reach some resolution. Everything won't be solved, but for the past year and a half Cong. Bishop and staff along with Rep. Jason Chaffetz and Rep. Chris Stewart's offices have been involved in 400 meetings working on the public lands initiative. There are certain areas of Utah which should be protected.
Sen. Bennett was successful with the Washington County bill, but most attempts at legislation have failed. Cong. Bishop wishes to bring some resolution to the public lands issues in Utah. He seeks collaboration, and the process is open to all. Right now he has a sense of optimism about the process he has undertaken. There will be compromise and it is a challenge. The environmentalists have a hard time compromising. The governor has a hard time compromising, so gridlock results. If you're getting involved in this process, then you will need to compromise. You will need to look and consider things in a new light. The issues can be resolved, but not by looking at things in the old way. The issue can be resolved with more dynamics, more outlooks and different avenues. "We need to expand how we're looking at it," said Stewart.
The number one action item is the 350,000 acres that SITLA wants to trade out of the WSAs. This land is not productive and the parcels are scattered. "From my perspective, let's help get SITLA lands into blocks of land for development. In the Carbon/Emery areas there are locations that SITLA would like to block up."
Stewart said he believes these are positive developments for the public lands fight. This is the legacy project and he invited all to get involved. The Eastern Utah counties have been meeting and they are unique. They are the energy producers, but also very interested in tourism, grazing and economic development.
Rep. Bishop wants to hear everyone's concerns.
Stewart was asked how what Rep. Bishop is trying to do coincides with Emery County's public land management bill. Stewart said Emery County is 9/10ths of the way there, but as a single county they would have a harder time making the land exchanges work.
With the regional approach all of SITLAs lands can be looked at to see where land exchanges will work. In Stewart's opinion he's pessimistic of Emery County passing a stand alone bill. He thinks it will pass with a more regional approach. It does slow Emery County down.
It is the hope that the bill which offers a regional approach will forestall a San Rafael monument as well as Greater Canyonlands.
Emery County commissioner James Nelson said he hopes this bill would replace any ideas for monuments in our area. Emery County would like to keep the resources it has including grazing, ATV use and roads in general.
Stewart said SUWA has been involved with Rep. Bishop's process. There are more than 100 stakeholders listed as being involved in Rep. Bishop's process.
Stewart mentioned that back in Washington they don't think the Western States can manage their lands. "We do a great job. We need to show people that. We need to demonstrate that Utah has a great conservation ethic," said Stewart. Once that's been established Washington will be more receptive to a bill coming from Utah.

UNEP's Year in Review 2011: January to June30/
From UNEP's contribution to the UN's 'International Year of Forests' to the rapidly evolving analysis of how to catalyze a global transition towards a Green Economy, 2011 has proven to be a defining year for the environmental pillar of sustainable development as the world heads towards Rio+20 in June 2012.Here are some highlights of UNEP's activities for the first half of the year.January 20112011 was declared the International Year of Forests (IYF) with the theme 'Celebrating Forests for People'. UNEP launched a new forest-focused coffee table book in collaboration with such famous photographers as Yann Arthus-Bertrand; a special media pack and a new website on forests at www.unep.org/forests. World Environment Day, the forestry chapter of the Green Economy report and the Sasakawa prize also carried forward the forest theme throughout the year.February 2011The 26th Session of UNEP's Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 21-24 February. Here the world's environment ministers identified Rio+20 in June 2012 as a key opportunity to accelerate and to scale-up a global transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient Green Economy. UNEP's 2011 Year Book was launched identifying fertilizer and a new understanding of the impacts of plastic pollution as two the main emerging issues. The 'draft' version of Towards a Green Economy: Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication, was launched for comment. The report suggested that investing two per cent of global GDP into ten key sectors can kick-start a Green Economy transition. Forest conservation groups in Nepal and Guatemala won 2011 UNEP Sasakawa Prize. Patricia Okoed-Bukumunhe, a Ugandan radio journalist won the prestigious UNEP Young Environmental Journalist Award for her report 'Climate Change and Uganda', broadcast on Radio France International.The report, "Reefs at Risk Revisited" presented a comprehensive analysis of threats to coral reefs including, threats from climate change - warming seas and rising ocean acidification. It also showed that local pressures - such as overfishing, coastal development and pollution - pose the most immediate and direct risks, threatening more than 60 percent of coral reefs today.March 2011A new UNEP report, "Colony Disorders and other Threats to Insect Pollinators", shows that more than a dozen factors, ranging from declines in flowering plants and the use of memory-damaging insecticides to the world-wide spread of pests and air pollution, may be behind the emerging decline of bee colonies across many parts of the globe.To mark World Water Day 2011, a Rapid Response Assessment by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN-Habitat was launched. The assessment showed that African urbanization - growing at a faster rate than anywhere else in the world - is affecting water supplies and sanitation.The Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon officially opened the new energy neutral offices of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) in Nairobi, Kenya while later touring the geothermal energy expansion taking place in Naivasha north of Nairobi.April 2011The Business and Industry Global Dialogue, held in Paris and hosted by UNEP and the International Chamber of Commerce, brought together 200 delegates in order to shape and to sharpen the private sector's transition towards a Green Economy.Representatives from 127 Governments meeting in Geneva for the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants agreed to add endosulfan to the United Nations' list of persistent organic pollutants to be eliminated worldwide. The action put the widely-used pesticide on course for elimination, with specific exemptions, from the global market by 2012. The conference also endorsed seven new Stockholm Convention regional centres in Algeria, Kenya, India, Iran, Senegal, South Africa and the Russian FederationMay 2011The findings of the study, REDDy - Set - Grow: Opportunities and roles of financial institutions in forest-carbon markets, were welcomed by banking, insurance and investment representatives. The study stresses that the financial sector must step up its engagement in the emerging green market, and makes the case for its improved regulation to facilitate thisThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, co-hosted by UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization, launched its Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN). The report indicated that under the most optimistic scenario close to 80 percent of the world's energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies.In New York, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, global music legend Angélique Kidjo, adventurer Louis Palmer, green entrepreneur Zhang Yue and scientist and campaigner Dr. Olga Speranskaya were announced as 2011 Champions of the Earth.The International Resource Panel, hosted by UNEP, launched a report showing that by 2050, humanity could consume an estimated 140 billion tons of minerals, ores, fossil fuels and biomass per year - three times its current appetite - unless the economic growth rate is "decoupled" from the rate of natural resource consumption. UNEP completed a global research project on sustainable lifestyles involving more than 8000 young adults from 20 countries. The study, called the Global Survey for Sustainable Lifestyles, showed that young adults consider poverty and environmental degradation to be the world's two biggest challenges, but they want more information on what they can do to be part of the solution. A second report by the International Resource Panel, 'Recycling Rates of Metals: A Status Report', recommended smarter product designs, support for developing country waste management schemes and encouraging developed country households not to 'squirrel away' old electronic goods in drawers and closets to help boost recycling of metals worldwide.June 2011World Environment Day (WED) 2011 whose main host was IndiaOver 2 million people in 144 countries worldwide participated in World Environment Day (WED) celebrations. Activities ranged from cleaning up 6.8 tonnes of garbage off Mount Everest to removing litter from neighbourhood streets and the making of kites carrying environmental messages.The WED challenge featured two UNEP's Goodwill Ambassadors - Gisele Bündchen and Don Cheadle , who competed with each other to win the most World Environment Day followers and get them to register their environment activities for either 'Team Gisele' or 'Team Don'. This challenge was also replicated in India and China with Priyanka Chopra versus Raul Bose and Li Bing Bing versus Wang Shi. Launch of the 'Forests in a Green Economy: A Synthesis' report. The report showed that investing an additional US$40 billion a year in the forestry sector could halve deforestation rates by 2030, increase rates of tree planting by around 140 per cent by 2050, and catalyze the creation of millions of new jobs.On World Oceans Day, 08 June 2011, UNEP launched a guide to Ecosystem-based Management. The guide showed that declines in marine and coastal ecosystems due to human activities such as overfishing and pollution could be reversed if organisations, communities and other stakeholders adopt a more integrated approach to managing coastal environments.A UNEP-World Meteorological Organization report - Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone, launched in mid-June revealed that fast action on pollutants such as black carbon, ground level ozone and methane may help limit near term global temperature rise and significantly increase the chances of keeping temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius, and perhaps even 1.5 degrees.On 20 June 2011, UNEP, Oxfam and the World Resources Institute launched a joint report entitled 'Adapting for a Green Economy: Companies, Communities and Climate Change', which stated that climate adaptation offers competitive advantages to businesses worldwide.The fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade held in Geneva agreed to add three pesticides; alachlor, aldicarb and endosulfan, to the Convention.

|In response to Re: Leaking kitchen faucet
: I previously had a leak that got worse after time from my kitchen faucet. It was only the hot water. No matter how tight you turned it off it owuld not stop leaking. I just replaced it and now a week later it is doing the exact same thing. The hot water leaks no matter how tight you shut it off. It is a two handle faucet of generic brand and I am wondering if I can take the handle off and tighten it some how. They seem to unremovable.
I have decided that I should install a good brand name faucet and remove the generic one.

Responsible Drinking
Diageo is proud of its brands and its commitment to setting the standard for social responsibility and responsible marketing. Over the past decade, we've worked closely with governments, the public health community and licensing authorities-plus other beer, wine and spirit producers-to help develop policies and initiatives that promote responsible drinking and discourage alcohol misuse.
A new and innovative resource developed by Diageo is DRINKiQ.com, a website intended to help combat alcohol misuse and promote responsible drinking through the sharing of best practice tools, information and initiatives. It contains loads of resources about the effects of alcohol on the body, ways to talk to your kids about alcohol, and helpful hints and tips for hosting parties and much, much more.
The Century Council (TCC) is a leader in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision making when drinking alcohol. Its innovative programs such as the b4udrink educator and Girl Talk aim to get young people, especially, to think about the choices they make. TCC is sponsored by Diageo and other leading distillers in the U.S. http://responsibility.org

Setting the Standard For Social Responsibility
We get that it's a party. But everybody - guest and host- needs to keep some simple rules in mind.
- Real hosts go pro. Hire a real bartender to mix drinks and serve responsibly.
- Show the designated drivers some love. Nothing's worse than two-liter bottles of flat cola, so whip up a non-alcoholic punch or two.
- Make sure somebody has numbers for the cab company.
- Plan a graceful exit. Think about how you're going to get home before you leave home.
- Talk with your mouth full. Eating before or while you're drinking slows alcohol consumption.
- Pass on the salt lick. Salty snacks make people drink more, so don't be afraid to bake a cake.
- Be aggressive. If you're hosting, grab your guests' car keys and be smart about who gets them back.
- Time really is on your side. It's the only fool proof method for sobering up, so stop serving or drinking at least an hour before the party's over.

About Thru the Bible - Sunday Sermon
These Sunday Sermon messages form a collection of the most effective and fruitful sermons given by
Dr. J. Vernon McGee
during his 21-year pastorate (1949-1970) at the historic Church of the Open Door when it was located in downtown Los Angeles.
About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGee
was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching
Thru the Bible
in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.

Thank you for the great apartment. It has a great location to public transportation. Everything you need is available (great kitchen, washer, dryer, balcony, ...). The rooftop pool is awesome. Here you have a beautiful view. On the way to the station you pass a supermarket. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. Would highly recommend it and would like to stay here again at any time. Again a big thank you to Peter, keep it up.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Apartment. Es hat eine super Lage zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden (tolle Küche, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Balkon, …). Der Pool auf dem Dach ist genial. Hier hat man eine schöne Aussicht. Auf dem Weg zur Bahn kommt man an einem Supermarkt vorbei. Alles war bei der Ankunft sauber und gepflegt. Kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde hier jederzeit wieder übernachten wollen. Nochmal ein großer Danke an Peter, weiter so.
The apartment was great, the views of the Sydney skyline from the balcony simply stunning! Key collection (pick up at the reception of a hotel) worked without problems.
The apartment itself is decorated very spacious and comfortable, modern and chic 4 adults, only the baths date back to an earlier era ... would be renovated. Very good beds, air conditioning works great. We would come back!
Das Apartment war toll, der Blick auf die Skyline von Sydney vom Balkon einfach atemberaubend! Die Schlüsselübergabe (Abholung am Empfang eines Hotels) funktionierte unproblematisch.
Das Apartment selbst ist für 4 Erwachsene sehr geräumig und komfortabel, modern und chic eingerichtet, nur die Bäder stammen noch aus einer älteren Ära... müssten mal renoviert werden. Sehr gute Betten, Klimaanlage funktioniert hervorragend. Wir würden wiederkommen!
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.
It was magical beautiful! The Quartier 88 Dowlingstreet the 4th floor was fantastic.
The view over the botanical garden to the skyline and down to the Bridge and the Opera House. The location was great, walking in a few minutes in the Botanical Gardens, yet quiet. Also near some gems, like the Tilburyhotel the hidden rooftop garden. Finger wharf with the fine restaurants ..
Within walking distance also equal to the King Cross station on the Butler stairs.
We found the neighborhood to get to know ideal for a family to Sydney. We stayed 2 weeks there and no day was boring. Also the Museum of NSW, the Park at Government House, the garden at all! Wonderful !!! Through the park it was also the same walk in the Rocks, so middle of the action. The apartment itself clean, spacious, well equipped with washer and dryer, and the kitchen very well. The beds super, 2 lovely bedrooms, a very tasteful living-dining room, 2 bathrooms. Heart and tired tourists after the trip what you want more!
Everything was phantastic, we loved it! Thank you !!
Es war zauberschön! Das Quartier 88 Dowlingstreet im 4. Stock war phantastisch.
Der Blick über den botanischen Garten zur Skyline und bis hinunter zur Bridge und dem Opernhaus. Die Lage super, zu Fuß in ein paar Minuten im Botanischen Garten, trotzdem ruhig. Auch in der Nähe einige Perlen, wie das Tilburyhotel mit dem versteckten Dachgarten. Fingermans wharf mit den feinen Restaurants..
Zu Fuß auch gleich an der Bahnstation Kingscross über die Butlerstreppe.
Wir fanden das Quartier ideal für eine Familie um Sydney kennenzulernen. Wir waren 2 Wochen da und kein Tag war langweilig. Auch das Museum of NSW, der Park beim Governmentshouse, der Garten überhaupt! Wunderbar!!! Durch den Park war man aber auch gleich zu Fuß in the Rocks, also mitten im Trubel. Die Wohnung selbst gepflegt, geräumig, gut ausgestattet mit Waschmaschine und Trockner, auch die Küche sehr gut. Die Betten super, 2 schöne Schlafzimmer, ein sehr geschmackvolles Wohn-Eßzimmer, 2 Bäder. Herz und müder Urlauber nach dem Ausflug was willst Du mehr!
Everything was phantastic, we loved it! Thank you!!
The location is very good. you can walk to most sightseeging points. But the appartment is very small ald old.
when we arrived the phone lay down on the floor amd the kitchen was dirty. the room is also very dark there is no possibilitiy for sunlight to come in. so you dont est at home because its really not nice. There is no possibilty for wireless. Also the owner wasn't really kind. we ask if you could check out a little bit later or if could
place our
baggage somewere. they just wrote back: "no", like in alot other situation. for that the price is really to hight also the cleaningfee of AUD 130 is way to
much for that little room.
The stay was comfortable & the location was very convenient. Thanks Peter :)
The apartment is in a good position, near the metro station, on bus routes, just a few minutes walk from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, The Botanic Gardens and Central Station. Comfortable and well equipped though a bit dated. The weather was cold and the heating took a long time to warm the apartment up. The weather also meant we weren't able to take advantage of the large balcony. During our stay the hotel pool area was being refurbished but I'm sure it will be a great asset. There was nowhere to leave luggage after checking out, the hotel staff were friendly but we weren't treated as guests. There is a Thai restaurant on the ground floor which was very good.
no problem! Good stay!
aucun problème ! Bon séjours !
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Communication was fine but didn't confirm until the last minute that we could collect the key at the apartment. To be honest if you want to do this, which I would recommend, then sort it at time of booking as recommended. Although apartment is small you will not get a better location than this. Perfect for staying downtown and reasonably quiet and felt very safe. Overall very enjoyable stay and would stay again.

Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Lugade, Vipul Anand, 1980- (University of Oregon, September , 2011)[more][less]Lugade, Vipul Anand, 1980- 2012-03-23T22:09:00Z 2012-03-23T22:09:00Z 2011-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12063 xiii, 109 p. : ill. Falls are a significant source of physical, social, and psychological suffering among elderly adults. Falls lead to morbidity and even mortality. Over one-third of adults over the age of 65 years will fall within a calendar year, with almost 10,000 deaths per year attributed to falls. The direct cost of falls exceeds $10 billion a year in the United States. Fall incidents have been linked to multiple risk factors, including cognitive function, muscle strength, and balance control. The ability to properly identify balance impairment is a tremendous challenge to the medical community, with accurate assessment of fall risk lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess balance control during gait among young adults, elderly adults, and elderly fallers; determine which biomechanical measures can best identify fallers retrospectively; demonstrate longitudinal changes in elderly adults and prospectively assess fall risk; and provide a method for mapping clinical variables to sensitive balance control measures using artificial neural networks. The interaction of the whole body center of mass (CoM) in relation to the base of support (BoS) assessed static and dynamic balance control throughout gait. Elderly fallers demonstrated reduced balance control ability, specifically a decreased time to contact with the boundary of the BoS, when compared to young adults at heel strike. This decreased time might predispose older adults to additional falls due to an inability to properly respond to perturbations or slips. Inclusion of these balance control measures along with the Berg Balance Scale and spatiotemporal measures demonstrated sensitivity and specificity values of up to 90% when identifying 98 elderly fallers and non-fallers, respectively. Additionally, 27 older adults were followed longitudinally over a period of one year, with only the interaction of the CoM with the BoS demonstrating an ability to differentiate fallers and non-fallers prospectively. As the collection and analysis of these biomechanics measures can be time consuming and expensive, an artificial neural network demonstrated that clinical measures can accurately predict balance control during ambulation. This model approached a solution quickly and provides a means for assessing longitudinal changes, intervention effects, and future fall risk. This dissertation includes both previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

Close Corporation Remedies and the Evolution of the Closely Held Firm
Larry E. Ribstein
University of Illinois College of Law (deceased); PERC - Property and Environment Research Center
November 16, 2010
Western New England Law Review, Forthcoming
Illinois Program in Law, Behavior and Social Science Paper No. LBSS10-03
Illinois Public Law Research Paper No. 10-21
This paper examines the law of closely held firms from an evolutionary perspective. The corporate tax and constraints on the availability of limited liability forced closely held firms to compromise their planning objectives and choose standard forms that did not fully reflect their needs. This forced courts to construct duties and remedies that did not relate to the parties' contracts. The famous close corporation case of Wilkes v. Springside Nursing Home, Inc. classically illustrates this problem. The advent and spread of the limited liability company significantly increased the availability of suitable standard forms for closely held firms. As a result, courts now can focus on fully effectuating the parties' contracts rather than creating remedies the parties may not have wanted. This analysis has implications for potential improvements in contracting for closely held firms.

for using fastcgi external server in place of cgi or mod php with php:
to compile fastcgi librairie:
wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz
tar xzvf fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz
cd fcgi-2.4.0
gmake install
to compile the fastcgi apache module:
wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-2.4.2.tar.gz
tar xvzf mod_fastcgi-2.4.2.tar.gz
cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.2
path/to/apache/bin/apxs -i -A -n fastcgi -o mod_fastcgi.la -c *.c
after you must modify the http.conf to add that:
# load fcgi module
LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
# authorization to execute fcgi on tree "/fcgi-bin/"
<Location /fcgi-bin/>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler fastcgi-script
# define fastcgi external serveur for virtual path "/fcgi-bin/phpfcgi" to execute on targetmachinehost with targetport
FastCgiExternalServer /fcgi-bin/phpfcgi -host targetmachinehostname:targetport
# mime type definietion for some extention
AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp .php .cphp .php4
#define apache cgi regirection with the virtual action script /fcgi-bin/phpfcgi associated with the defined mime type.
Action application/x-httpd-fastphp /fcgi-bin/phpfcgi
start apache.
compile php with --enable-cgi and --enable-fastcgi=/to/lib/fastcgi
start on target machine php with "php -b ip:port" for ear request from mod_fastcgi.
some aditional thing are in sapi/cgi/README.FastCGI of php src tree.
the document root of the apache machine must be synchronous with the php target machine... with the same tree...
and with that solution you can mixe php5 and php4 with different extention of apache directory limitation to one or another version...
with performance like mod_php!

Five things: The buildup to World Juniors
Ryan Lambert
December 20 2012 02:09PM
1. Interesting about this European disquiet
The thing we always heard about guys going over to Europe during the lockout is that while they wouldn't exactly be able to make the kind of living they were used to in the NHL, they could do well enough, and play hockey at a high level.
And that may very well be true.
But one thing we're starting to get a lot better of a feel for is just how much all those players really friggin' hate playing in Europe. Joffrey Lupul had a really great blog post about how awful playing in the KHL is if you're not from Russia or another Eastern Bloc country, and other guys coming back from Finland or Sweden (most notably Kyle Turris) haven't exactly lavished praise upon their brief employment situations overseas.
The amount of guys coming back in the last month or so is pretty staggering, though you can obviously attiribute a lot of that to the impending labor peace in the NHL, or at least the idea that it's lurking just behind the horizon. What's more interesting, maybe, is how vocal some guys have been about how miserable it is. Wonder if that makes anyone who's not from there think twice about jumping to the KHL when they have a choice between that and an AHL assignment.
2. And here's something about Turris
When did it become okay, exactly, for guys who give a bunch of regrettable quotes to reporters in North America to act like, "Hey I didn't mean all that stuff I said the way it sounded! I'm being mischaracterized! Inaccurate reporting!"
This was a common practice for the kind of candid interviews Eastern European players typically give in their home country, where rules about journalistic integrity aren't always, how you say, as strict. If a report about, "Oh this guy says his teammates are kind of bad," filters its way back across the Atlantic, it wasn't uncommon for players to say, "Well hey something got lost in the translation there," or something to that effect.
What, then, could Kyle Turris have meant by, "The travel here is horrendous. It's worse than junior," that would have been lost in translation between two English-speaking people for a newspaper published in English?
The weird part is, no one's calling Turris or his agent on their hilariously transparent spin. Baffling stuff.
3. A quick Jankowski update
Well I was all set to head down to Providence College on Thursday night to watch the final Hockey East game before Christmas between the Friars and the dreadful Catamounts of UVM. I knew I wouldn't be able to see Jon Gillies give that he's currently in Scandinavia, but I figured, "Hey, I'll at least be to see Mark Jankowski. Finally."
Yeah, not so much. That bum hip that kept him out of the game against BC last week? It kept him out against Vermont as well. I'm starting to think this kid is ducking me.
4. Decent start for Flames picks
Here in the U.S. we don't get to see Canadian games until the actual tournament starts, even though NHL Network was showing probably skin tag-removal infomercials (or something) during that time. Nonetheless, we did get the good news that Markus Granlund scored the first of Finland's three goals and generally looked very strong. That's good news. (The even better news is Canada lost.)
So too is the fact that Jon Gillies withstood a veritable power play assault from the defending gold medalists of Sweden, coming in halfway through the game in a planned swap for Garret Sparks, who allowed a softie early in the first but was otherwise excellent for the US. Gillies only faced four shots on goal in the final 10 minutes of the second (including the Swedes' power play goal), but turned aside 15 in the third and generally looked a little better than did his counterpart. That is also good.
Finally, one last thing that's good is that the U.S. sat what would have been its six best players as it attempted to figure out which of the guys on the bubble made the cut. And that list of healthy "too good for this game" scratches, not surprisingly, included Johnny Gaudreau.
5. The worst thing ever re-happened on Thursday morning
Speaking of the World Juniors on NHL Network, the NHL Network was nice enough to broadcast the US's warmup game against Sweden on Thursday. But I woke up not knowing what time that game started. So I flipped to the NHL Network before I started getting some work done, just to check the channel guide. And I saw the worst thing.
There was a game in October of 2009 that, as I'm sure you'll recall, was the worst thing I've ever seen Calgary do (and please keep in mind I was in the building for last season's 9-0 drubbing by the Bruins). They went up 5-0 on Chicago just nine minutes into the game, played at the United Center no less. Then they lost 6-5 in overtime. I wrote something about it that night.
This, in my opinion, is the exact point at which the Flames went from being a franchise worth envying in the Western Conference to one worthy of nothing but scorn and derision, a symbol of everything wrong with the way the team has been run. That was the sixth game of the season, and Calgary entered it having gone 4-0 in the first four, but coming off a 5-2 loss to Edmonton. The rest of the way that year, they went 36-31-9 (two of those wins in the shootout so they barely even count!), finished with 90 points, and haven't made the playoffs since. They have been deeply, thoroughly, slightly-submediocre to an infuriating extent. They also finished 30th in goals for that season, wiping out what would have otherwise been an extraordinarily impressive year for the defnse, which allowed the sixth-fewest.
When I actually turned the game on it was 5-2 Calgary, so the comeback was already on. I kind of wanted to watch out of a sort of morbid curiosity, but after a few minutes of Flames players literally falling all over the ice, I decided I couldn't stomach it. It's like on that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa gives Ralph Wiggum the Valentine, and eventually breaks his heart. Unlike Bart, I didn't need a frame-by-frame recap of the point at which this franchise officially went sideways.
I cho-cho-chose to turn my TV off.

Re: Turris. It's also odd to me that hockey players seem to feel compelled to be nice about everything and likable all the time. Sometimes you get characters like Roenick or Avery who stick their head above the crowd, but mostly it's a competition to see who can seemingly be the nicest and blandest guy around.
Lupul:"So Russia is really different, and it not what I'm used to and now I get it, and Russia is really weird." What a half-wit. Not one shred of usable information. Reminds me of the Simpsons show where Melanie Griffith said 'This ones nice...This one's nice too, oh and this one's nice..."
"They have been deeply, thoroughly, slightly-submediocre to an infuriating extent."
This is pretty much exactly how I've described them to other people over the last few years. It's so frustrating. No improvement, no room for improvement.
December 20 2012, 03:59PM
Granlund got the primary apple on the second goal as well, did he not?
yes, but according to TSN, no. Of course, TSN also says Gaudreau was a -1 today, in spite of the fact that he didn't play.
December 20 2012, 05:01PM
My favourite part, Lambert, is where you wrote the following:

It's a Canadian game. That is what Canadians do.

Panda Fact 4: Giant Pandas can spend up to 16 hours a days eating.
Panda Fact 5:A panda gives birth to twins 45% of the time but in wild can only look after one baby so one usually die.
Is this thing not dead yet...
Why don't more people read these mangas?
wont die if people are posting in it asking if its dead :p
Bah, given the fact that newbies come around every now and then posting about how awesome the theory is...I'd rather not delete it...keeps things cleaner.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
i personally think that TOBI and DANZO are the same person +_+

I don't believe the Dark uchiha tengu crap. But I do believe that Itachi and Itachi only, represents a tengu.
Karasu Tengu ("Crow" Tengu) 烏天狗
The ancient form of the Tengu was the "karasu" or "crow" Tengu. Portrayed as an evil crow-like creature with the body of a man, it was capable of kidnapping adults and children, starting fires, and ripping apart those who willfully damaged the forest, for the Tengu live in trees. Sometimes, too, the Tengu would abduct human beings, only to release them later, but the "lucky" survivor would return home in a state of dementia (called "Tengu Kakushi, meaning "hidden by a Tengu").
Source: http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tengu.shtml
Crows- Itachi is known for crows.
and children- He was in Akatsuki and they would kidnap Jinchuuriki.
starting fires- Ameratsu. Duh.
apart people
who damage
the forrest- He slaughtered his clan to save Konoha (the leaf)
Abducting and
letting go- Itachi has done this twice with Naruto, both times he was a little crazy afterwards.
Spoiler!It's a wonder Jiraiya didn't leave the leaf for Hidan's village of pervy paradise... The village hidden in the hotsprings!
72 hours of hell!
The "birdlike" Tengu is a symbol of the Uchiha clan in general. The Tengu Theory of course is still fan-fiction, but the as I stated before, the connection the author of the Tengu theory drew between the Uchiha clan and the Tengu was correct.
so from what i understanded about this theory that demon (tengu or whatever) married
a hyuuga girl so it gave birth to the uchiha clan so my question is what will happen if naruto (kyuubi) married hinata ? will it give birth to new blood line limit?
i think the tengu there was swell tought out n researched n put together. Some parts have been disproven but some parts have been proven as well. i think it would be very simple to update the theory to where it matches the story line. but none of us has esp so i'm sure kishi will still somehow disprove somethin even if it was revised. it was good when it was made and it still holds some weight now. that's all there is to it
What is the difference between the king and the horse?
If they had the same form, same ability, and the same power? Almost like the two could have been the same existence at one point! But then the one that fights to rise to the top becomes the king! Whichever one is leftover is to become the horse lending its power to the former... Now I ask you, what is the difference between the two? There is only one answer...
