Skip to comments.Poll: Who Do You Think Won the VP Debate? (57% say Ryan)
Posted on 10/11/2012 7:41:05 PM PDT by Milagros
Poll: Who Do You Think Won the VP Debate? Published: Thursday, 11 Oct 2012 | 9:31 PM ET Text Size By: CNBC.com Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan took center stage on Thursday night for their highly anticipated debate.
Biden was under pressure to help President Barack Obama's campaign recapture the momentum it enjoyed before Obama was outmaneuvered by Republican rival Mitt Romney last week in the first of their three debates. (Read more: Obama, Romney Clash on Economy in First Debate)
Who do you think won the vice presidential debate? Paul Ryan 57% Joe Biden 34% Neither 9% Total Votes: 5568 Not a Scientific Survey Results may not total 100% due to rounding That debate trimmed Obama's lead in polls and raised the stakes for Thursday night's Ryan-Biden faceoff. (Read more: Romney Close Behind Obama After Debate)
So, now that you've heard them, who do you think won, Biden or Ryan? Take our poll and have your voice heard.
The Remaining Debates:
Tuesday, Oct. 16 - Second Presidential Debate (Town Hall)
Wednesday, Oct. 22 - Third Presidential Debate
No doubt Biden lost. And no doubt he will lose big time when the fact checking gets done on this debate.
51 Ryan
42 Biden
6 undecided
What is important is how the independents viewed it.
i fixed the link
it is: http://www.cnbc.com/id//49327648
poll totals when i voted was 51% Ryan/43% Biden
CBS & ABC "Analysts" try to "establish" that Biden won.
What I think doesn't matter.
Biden presented himself as an asshole. No doubt there. The left assholes will love him. The left non-assholes will be embarrassed.
What Biteme did tonight was fragment / chip away at his base.
Those who loved it are glued a little tighter but some chunks fell off.
Who do you think won the vice presidential debate?
Paul Ryan 51%
Joe Biden 43%
Neither 6%
Total Votes: 13342
Its NOT going to change the dynamics of this presidential race because people don't vote for the Vice President.
I would have been happy to vote for Paul Ryan had he been at the top of the ticket.
He's the conservative loyal soldier we should have had in the first place but GOP bigwigs insisted on saddling us with a barely electable liberal.
Mitt Happens has to get there under his own power. A good Veep can only help him so much as the debate showed us tonight.
Irrelevant question. These guys can only hurt their ticket and neither did that. Biden played Lunch Pail Joe to the hilt. Ryan stayed calm, cool and collected. They both did what they were supposed to do.
Right after I voted the numbers were 53 Ryan, Biden 41
Close, but Ryan won.
Biden GAFFED again.
He said SYRIA was a bigger country than LIBYA!!!!
Syria has about 72,500 sq.miles and Libya has about 600,00+!!!!
When Ryan brought up Obamacare, Biden said this came up in the debate with SARAH PALIN!!!!! THERE WAS no Obamacare in 2008!!!!
Biden inferred that there intelligence had NOT told them that the attack in Benghazi was by an organized group. A FEW DAYS ago it was revealed by a Mr. Kennedy that they HAD told the Administration such a thing.
Biden looked and sounded like a supercilious, arrogant old ass with his snickering grin and idiotic laughing. Ryan should have been more aggressive in cutting Biden off when he interrupted and reciprocated by interrupting BIDEN when he spoke.
I agree with you - your observation reinforces what I already said.
The Veep doesn't make a political difference like they used to and neither guy can help the the guy at the top of the ticket win.
That's the responsibility of the candidate running for President. Obama has a big hole to climb out of next week.
We'll see if he can be the Comeback Kid of 2012.
Like Biden, stupid is as stupid does. Only 26 days before the beginning of the end of the idiocy known as Obama/Biden.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
Same here Ron C. 53 41 6
Will this change swing voters' minds? I'd have to say "no."
Barring a Romney meltdown next week, I think we have a pretty good idea of who'll win in November.
Obama faces a near impossible task. It would be an easy task if his opponent was destroying himself.
And he has to make Mitt Happens look unelectable and still make himself look good. I'd say that's a tall order.
Lib commentators think Biden did poorly with all the laughter and smiles.
CNN focus group...1/3 say Ryan won, 1/3 Biden, 1/3 draw.
It didn't take long for me to think that Ryan had already won. He won by being a knowledgeable respondent to questioning by the moderator. Biden lost by being the ass that he always is - demonstrating very little impressive knowledge - while being continuously rude when Ryan was answering.
One question I have - how much speaking time was allowed to each of the participants. If truth be told, I believe Biden hogged most of the time.
Turn on MSNBC. Tingles, Madcow, and the kraut are ecstatic about Bidens performance.
A split only stops the bleeding for Obama. It doesn't get him back where he needs to be.
Biden stopped what might have been a free fall. Now Obama has to climb his way back. It remains to be seen if he can do that but I already indicated how difficult it can be if you're the underdog in the race.
Who do you think won the vice presidential debate?
Paul Ryan
Joe Biden

>>Lib commentators think Biden did poorly with all the laughter and smiles.
For once I agree with lib commentators.
Biden looked idiotic with the grinning. Biden acted like a bratty bully with the interrupting. Biden sounded like a clueless imbecile with so many responses of "malarkey" He should have gone straight to "neener, neener." And he sounded like a shifty used car salesman or a con man with all the smarmy insincere "my friend" remarks.
I'd say Biden would have eked out a draw based solely on not allowing his opponent to get a word in edgewise. However, Biden acted in such a repugnant manner that I have to give it to Ryan on points.
I think its at best a draw. The media may be right Biden staunched the bleeding but that wasn't enough.
On style points, I'd give this debate to Ryan.
Paul Ryan
Joe Biden
Total Votes: 37799
Laughter and smiles aside, Biden was rude and inconsiderate as hell.
Another poll ping.
CBS flash poll has Biden winning debate 65% to 35% A lot of people are seeing Bidens Laughing and interrupting as confidence.
I don't see Obama recovering. I think we saw the real Romney and the real Obama at that first debate. If Obama comes out swinging he'll seem prepped and fake. If he pulls a Southside Chicago Pastor act he'll finish himself with the white vote and election. If he remains passive and arrogant he'll lose again. So it's lose/lose for Obama.
He's losing the media and those liberal whores are cheap. If you cannot keep them in your camp it's over. I believe we're at an inflection point not just in the campaign, but throughout our country.
If conservatives don't want to go back and forth from election to election we need to not let up after the election. We need to have a half century plan to return our republic to greatness. Our ideas are superior and we need to lead with them. It'll take some training/educating to bring about change.
That's not going to happen in Washington or at the action of any politician, but from us as individuals innovating our way out of this mess. There are millions of solutions just waiting for government to get out of the way.
That's what I'm most excited about with Romney. He wasn't my fifth choice in this race, but I didn't think he would be as devastated as others did by his Romneycare issue in MA. Even then I saw it as an opening to federalism and state's rights. That's exactly how Romney and his team used it.
That's wise as a political strategy to win this campaign, but the real benefit to America is a return to federalism with states competing. I also like Romney's pick of Ryan and this debate solidified that for me. I know that Ryan's debt plan isn't perfect, but he's sharp and dedicated. A VP can be a force multiplier for a President and I believe Ryan will be very busy in a Romney WH.
Romney doesn't just want to win, he wants to serve two terms and see his VP elected. I'm not counting the victory until Nov. 7, but I'm hopeful.
Bad etiquette is in good taste these days?
I think people have forgotten their "Emily Post." And winning at all costs is not the most desirable thing in life.
There's a big difference between confidence and snarkiness dressed up as it.
Obviously Biden won, and it's documented for all time...
Bad etiquette is in good taste these days?
Unfortunately, yes. This isn't 2000 where Gores sighing was viewed as crude and impolite. This is 2012. Rudeness and mocking are viewed as signs of strength and confidence whereas politeness is seen as weakness.
Joe came off as a school yard bully. He didn't help "the creep" with the independent women vote. Not one little bit.
I thought so too. I also was disgusted with that woman interrupting Ryan whenever you could see that Ryan was going to do one of his efficient, excellent comments-—she butted in. I almost turned off the debate, Biden's and her puerile rudeness was so annoying.
I would have liked the forum with Ryan and Biden standing-—the psychological edge that Ryan has with his stature and good looks would have given him an even bigger win. But that is why the leftist had them sit with an obnoxious feminist asking men to get "personal" about an abortion answer. She made me puke with her phony feminist remark about the whole abortion issue.
The Leftist tried to make Ryan look bad-—but they didn't succeed. He held his ground ok and they looked like bratty, rude kids.
He did exactly what needed to be done. He allowed Biden to be a jerk (pretty much unamimous opinion) and came across as knowledgeable, polite and capable.
Indies will be won over. Great job, Paul!!
Hurry-up Liberals of the msnbc finally changed the equation, and it stands now at 48% or Biden. Another orchestrated poll..
Well, if I could simply say that Biden was boring as I could bother listening through, I would say he got most of the time. Whomever figured voting Biden up didn't have a clue what listening to this guy would sound like.
Ryan did very well but not as well as he might have done if his train of thought had not been interrupted numerous times by Biden and, at times, the biased moderator. But Biden's grotesque smiles, grimaces, smirks, head shakes, and eye rolls detracted from any debate points he scored. Biden was a blabbermouth and most of what he said was empty rhetoric.
I thought Ryan's answer about abortion was heart-felt and sincere.
Biden came across as giving the answer every one knows is politically correct.
Cuz you know in this country there is only one "right answer" on abortion.
And far as the media is concerned, Ryan failed their phony test.
So much for a fair and well-considered debate.
Who do you think won the vice presidential debate?
Paul Ryan
Joe Biden

"I also was disgusted with that woman interrupting Ryan whenever you could see that Ryan was going to do one of his efficient, excellent comments-she butted in. I almost turned off the debate, Bidens and her puerile rudeness was so annoying."
Agree. My wife and I nearly turned the debate off also. We felt she was trying to keep Ryan off track. We also believed, joe couldn't stand for an hour and a half. They sat for joe's benefit.
Biden came off as such a prick..if that is the way Obama is going to behave next week Mitt Romney will be known as MR. PRESIDENT..the only people that loved Biden tonight were the left wing loons..everyone else, the undecided voters and the Independent voters were absolutely DISGUSTED with the way that Biden behaved. Paul Ryan showed himself tonight to be a VERY smart man, and a very calm man..My Mom wanted to go through the TV and smack Biden across the face..that is what Biden wanted, to piss Ryan off, instead Ryan just remained calm
**What's to smirk about when discussing a dead Ambassador? Iran and the bomb? The unemployment rate in Biden's hometown of Scranton? Which, by the way, was clearly news to Biden.**
What a smirk jerk! Anything substantive Biden had to say was diminished by the supercilious smirk.
I think Congressman Ryan being double teamed yet handled himself very well, but Biden is a typical demorat smirk-jerk.

SCC Baseball Splits Doubleheader With Douglas College
The Shoreline Community College Baseball Team traveled to British Columbia on Monday to make up a NWAACC Northern Region doubleheader that was rained out on Saturday and came back with a split, dropping the first game 3-2 and wining the 2nd 5-1.
In Game 1, SCC pitcher Henry McAree (3-1) pitched well, just giving up three hits and striking out 6, but Douglas made their hits and the four walks they earned count, as they beat SCC 3-2. SCC rallied in the top of 7th, down 3-0 to make it 3-2, but the rally fell short in the 7 inning game. Connor King was 2 for 2 batting and Kainoa Ahsing-Kaahanui had the 2 SCC RBIs.
In Game 2, Layton Bush (3-4) pitched a 2 hitter over 9 innings as SCC won the game 5-1. The run that Bush gave up was unearned. Luke Merkel was 3 for 3 with a double. stole 3 bases and scored 2 runs in the game. Kainoa Ahsing-Kaahanui was 2 for 2 batting with a RBI and
Mitch Hoveke hit a 2 RBI double.
SCC moved its record to 16-14-1 overall and 4-6 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Douglas is now 10-10 overall and 7-5 in the region.
SCC plays rival Edmonds Community College on Saturday and Sunday next weekend in a four game NWAACC Northern Region Series. EDCC is in 2nd place in the region, with a 20-12 overall record and 11-5 in the region. The doubleheader starts at 1:00pm on Saturday at Edmonds and 3:00pm at Meridian Park on Sunday.

Found 2 Mentors.
Mentor In: Appetizer
Why I want to be mentor: because i have a good deal to offer (and to learn) from half a lifetime of experience. because i love what i do and even more i love talking about it with others who feel the same.
Lesson Learned: patience. being able to recover on the fly if ingredients are unacceptable or unobtainable. and that apps are fun, and that the enjoyment should be shared by everyone in the end result.
Tip: love life by eating great food. it's one of the simplest pleasures that exist.
Roseville, CA
Mentor In: Appetizer, Dessert, Cake, Fondant, Camping, Crowd Cooking, Dinner Party
Why I want to be mentor: I'm a former professional caterer and baker...Lots of experience, lots of lessons learned, lots of advice to share!
Lesson Learned: Presentation and taste are more important in an appetizer than in anything else...you have one chance to make people WANT to eat it, and one or two bites to convey everything to make them want more!
Tip: Two bites max...larger proportions make for lousy appetizers.

Prayers Please!,
February 20, 2012
I am 27 years old and have been a teacher for four years. I am going through a VERY tough time right now, as a few months ago I got a DUI after going to dinner for a friend's birthday. I am turning my life around, attending church, and really trying to put my focus on GOD. HE as well as your prayers have helped me to know this will NOT define me! As I am going through National Board, attempting to get my PhD....This week I have my court date with the DMV to determine if I can keep my license. PLEASE PLEASE pray for me that I am able to keep my license so that I can get to and from work, church, and my other extracurricular activities that are keeping me on the right track. Your prayers and messages mean so much...the power of prayer is amazing! WHEN PRAISES GO UP, BLESSINGS COME DOWN!

The Ebbtide student newspaper took a top award from the Washington Community College Journalism Association this past weekend.
The paper won a General Excellence trophy from the organization for the third time in four years. It placed third in the category this year, while the Pioneer at Pierce College in Fort Steilacoom took first and the Puyallup Post at Pierce College in Puyallup took second.
The contest is open to all community colleges in Washington State and attracts entrants from neighboring colleges such as Edmonds Community College and Bellevue College, as well as far-away schools such as Clark College in Vancouver and Peninsula College in Port Angeles. Professional journalists and university professors from out-of-state serve as judges.
The three professional journalists who judged the General Excellence category this year praised the Ebbtide for both its look and its content. "The variety of stories and inventiveness of the ideas are excellent," said one judge. "(It's a) great, attractive paper."
Dan DeMay, editor in chief of the Ebbtide, accepted the award Saturday during a ceremony at Olympic College in Bremerton.
"I'm really excited and honored to have received an award that represents our work as a whole," DeMay said later. "It says to me that we have a good dynamic, we have a great group of people who love working together and it shows in the product."
Several members of the Ebbtide also received individual awards.
Photo editor Sean Sherman won a second-place award in Feature Photos for a front-page image appearing in the paper's Relationship Issue in February. The image shows a couple from the knees down, one wearing red sneakers, the other wearing black. Although the two are holding hands, the real expression is in their sweet, cozying-up feet. The judge in this category praised Sherman's shot for his storytelling skills, his clean composition and his "artistic eye." "I love the low angle," he said.
Former Photo Editor Dennie Chong won a third-place award in the same category. His winning photo ran in December, and shows a remix musician rocking the house at the Vera Project at the Seattle Center. "Nice moment!" the judge said. "You are in the right place at the right time."
Staff writer JD Carter took third place in the Feature Writing category for a profile she wrote in March on the Ebbtide's outgoing editor, Amelia Rivera. The judge gave Carter high marks for her attention-grabbing introduction, easy flow and ability to capture the story's human element.
Webmaster Huai-Hsien Feng took third place for Best Web Site. She won the judge's approval by including polls, links to social media, and a rotating photo display on www.shoreline.edu/ebbtide. "It's a cheerful, friendly homepage that provides easy access to all available content," the judge said.
Jim Lovaas, arts and entertainment editor, received an honorable mention in News Writing for a story he wrote in March. "Campus security hands tied" explores SCC officers' limited ability to break up violent conflicts on campus. The judge gave it high marks for shining light on a subject that most students are not aware of.
The awards ceremony and luncheon featured speakers Kirstin Millis, publisher of the UW Daily, and Manuel Valdes, a recent UW graduate, now working as a reporter for the Associated Press.

Thirteen students from Shoreline Community College recently competed at the 2010 College DECA International Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Seven of those students earned conference recognition and honors.
College DECA has more than 13,000 members, serving its diverse international membership as a professional association, providing leadership and career opportunities to develop and enhance the business leaders of tomorrow.
DECA's renowned Competitive Events program uses interviews, role plays, simulations and project reports to evaluate students' marketing and management skills. The competition includes 25 different events, judged by business professionals.
Serving as SCC DECA advisors are David Starr, Laura Portolese Dias, Stephen McCloskey and Mona Starr.
SCC's overall student winner was Crystal Fong, National Finalist, Marketing Management. Students earning Awards of Excellence are Amber Bonifas, Retail Management; Johnathan Le, Marketing Management; Kelly DeRosier, Human Resource Management; Carol Moy, Human Resource Management; Doug Allyn and Yasuhiro Sumino, International Marketing.
As a part of National Nurses Week, SCCANS (the SCC Association of Nursing Students) hosted an annual event to honor nurses of the past and present, including SCC nursing students and grads. Faculty member Hermien Watkins, who has taught at SCC for 24 years, introduced guest speaker, 1986 SCC nursing graduate Rayne Engle, RN. Engle brought tears and laughs in her presentation in which she shared her personal journey to provide health care to low-income and uninsured patients via her work at 45th Street Medical Clinic in Seattle.
Nursing faculty member, Pat Olsen announced the 2010-11 scholarship recipients. Kristie Miller, who sees nursing as "a calling," received the first Tammi O'Brien Shanks Memorial Nursing Scholarship. Miller, who was a medical social worker at Children's Orthopedic Hospital, cared for her mother who died from the same disease that took Tammi O'Brien Shanks' life.
"I did not realize it at the time, but my path towards nursing began in 1996 when my mother became ill and was ultimately diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis," she said. During that time while taking her mother to doctors and specialists, Miller said she experienced the best and the worst in health care. Ultimately, it was her mother's death and other personal losses that prompted her to go into nursing. She says that although she doesn't know what area she will focus on long-term, initially she would like to work in an acute care setting providing direct patient care. She also plans on earning a master's degree in nursing, with a focus on education or management. Miller is also a proud mother of her one-year-old son.
Tammi O'Brien Shanks graduated from SCC's School of Nursing in 1996 and worked at Northwest Hospital as a surgical nurse for 12 years. In 2001 she was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The hardest thing she ever had to do was to give up her nursing career due to her disability. She was patiently awaiting a lung transplant at the time of her death.

Shoreline CC business students are ready to tee off! Business students at Shoreline Community College are launching a new golf tournament to benefit the business programs and scholarships at the college.
Shoreline On Course: SCC Scholarship Scramble will tee off Friday, June 4, at the Nile Golf & Country Club, 6601 244th Street SW, Mountlake Terrace. Players can arrive as early as 3 p.m., with the first tee time at 4 p.m., rain or shine.
Thirty-six golfers will play a nine-hole scramble as well as compete in hole-in-one, longest drive, closest to the pin and longest putt contests. The $50 registration fee includes a golf cart, Western barbecue dinner and door prizes. Space is limited, so golfers need to register before May 14 by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.
Proceeds from the tournament may endow scholarships such as the Leadership Challenge Scholarship. The college's Business Administration degree program, in collaboration with its Advisory Committee, established the Shoreline Leadership Challenge in 2007 to provide financial assistance to qualified applicants seeking to further their education. The program is currently developing a requirement system; example requirements could include academic performance, community service, and leadership activity. Recipients become eligible to receive a one-year, full tuition scholarship. The intent is to fund this scholarship with $25,000 through programs such as the Shoreline On Course Golf Tournament. In addition, funds could be used to support business programs, such as collegiate DECA.
The scramble tournament is an example of SCC's business education in action. Students in the college's new Sports and Event Marketing class are responsible for the tournament's logistics and marketing, as well as soliciting sponsors to donate money and in-kind merchandise. Every team in the class is also expected to recruit golfers to participate in the tournament.
"The value in this course is the ability to actually put on the tournament, rather than discuss it in theory," said Dr. Laura Portolese Dias, who teaches the class. "Students will gain event management skills, but also crucial skills such as leadership, teamwork, organization and working within deadlines that will most definitely help them in their careers later on, not to mention it is a great resume builder!"
Businesses interested in sponsoring the tournament should contact email@example.com. Partner benefits include on-site signage and recognition, as well as acknowledgement on the tournament's Facebook page, located at www.facebook.com/shorelineoncourse.
You can also check Facebook for tournament updates. For more information, send an e-mail to email@example.com and we'll respond within two business days.

Is there any contestant from American Idol who would have made it big even without the show's help?
Carrie Underwood is too good to remain undiscovered forever.ReplyCancel
Kelly, Carrie, Daughtry.ReplyCancel
It's kind of a rigged question. How would you know? Some actors were found by a talent agent who happened to be at the pizza place in the mall food court. Some singers were found by a guy who happened to be at the casino on karaoke night.
Reality shows have killed the search for true talent, though. Sifting through 300k auditions to try to find the one gem makes needle in a haystack look like Chutes & Ladders.ReplyCancel
Glam Adam
Adam Lambert has a great theater voice and is perfect for Broadway musicals, where I predict he will end up someday. Whether or not he would have made it to Broadway from San Diego without Idol is an open question. But he has genuine talent.ReplyCancel
They should scour karaoke bars for new talent. There's this toothless dude who always sings "the gambler@. Mullet excluded, he has star potential. Just make sure he has bourbon and the lyrics in a screen.ReplyCancel
Seven – There's actually a husband-wife team of talent scouts who live in the Midwest. They hit the malls all the time, looking for the next great supermodel. They're responsible for discovering Ashton Kutcher.ReplyCancel
Agree with Carrie Underwood.
Kelly Clarkson has the talent, but so do a lot of people that don't make it, and she didn't/doesn't really have "the look". She has probably benefited the most from having been on/won the show. She was also lucky to be the first winner, and that she had songwriting talent to back up her singing talent, and so she hasn't faded away like most of them. But I'm not criticizing, I like her music so I'm glad she got lucky, and I'm glad she broke away from the Idol group when she did, because her music since then is much better.ReplyCancel
Agree definitely about Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, and Katherine McPhee.ReplyCancel
I'm on the Lambert train.ReplyCancel
CU would have had to play thousands of shows before her first number 1! She is not nice in person and I've met her twice. Not as a fan either. She's not bubbly and outgoing even with other country legends! I'm friends with two legends and have seen her diss one ( after my two meetings) in a "you can't help but see him sitting next to you situation".ReplyCancel
I don't think they would've been discovered. they were very raw when they started and the professional development of the show helped them progress in weeks what would've taken years or a lifetime. it's hard to believe Carrie Underwood would've gone undiscovered, but she probably would've had to face a lot of the ugly things female singers have to deal with to get put on now.ReplyCancel
No, probably not. The music industry doesn't really exist anymore. New acts don't really become that successful anymore. Those that do, are usually drastically different than Idol blandness. And honestly, you can find better singers that the Idol people in any bar across America on a Saturday night.ReplyCancel
Nope. Not one.ReplyCancel

Kent Stilson, Landon Watson, Chandler Pearson, Travis Barnett, and Jeff Fielder, Emery High players who, with athletes from Carbon and East Carbon High, completed a very successful season as members of Helper's American Legion baseball team.
The team completed state tournament play this last week finishing second to Taylorsville with wins over Layton, Dixie Tooele, and Brigham City and losses to Cyprus and Taylorsville. Because of ineligible players on Taylorsville's team, Helper traveled to Las Vegas on Aug. 16 to represent Utah at the Western Regional tournament. All of these players contributed to the teams success both during the tournament as well as the regular season.
Kent Stilson and Jeff Fielder were also chosen as all-stars during regular league play.
In the opening game of the American Legion Baseball Regional, played at the Community College of Southern Nevada on Thursday in Las Vegas, Helper lost to Cimmaron Memorial 7-4.
Kent Stilson gave the team the go ahead run in the first inning with a double that scored Zac Cloward, but Cimmaron came back and took the lead and then the win.
In their final game of the tournament, Helper out-hit Woodland Hills but could not overome the errors and lost the game 8-1.
Jeff Fielder hit a double, one of Helper's nine hits, and scored the only run.

The Blame Game
Jonathan Willis
April 01 2009 11:23AM
"It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame."
- Oscar Wilde
With the Oilers all but eliminated from the playoffs, Craig MacTavish took a chance last night. Down a single goal in a must-win game, he asked for a measurement on Teemu Selanne's stick, a decision which backfired when it turned out that Selanne's stick was legal.Ducks players were surprised
; Bobby Ryan said that they "got lucky", while Scott Niedermayer suggested that Selanne had a chance before the game to switch to a legal stick. It doesn't much matter now. MacTavish was wrong, and he took the blame for it afterwards – calling the decision a "terrible mistake" and saying that he felt his choice sabotaged what looked like a terrific comeback. That's as it should be, of course, but that willingness to accept responsibility contrasts in an ugly way with Ethan Moreau's post game comments.
"A lot of that game we played really well. I thought we were physical, we stood up for one another. There were some good hits, good fights and we went to the net harder in the third period and created some offense. There's going to be games where we have to get four or five goals to help Roli out, and we haven't found that offensive output yet."
He expanded on that with Dan Tencer later in the evening; Tencer mentioned special teams and again Moreau said that they couldn't score when they needed to. It's interesting to me that a guy like Moreau (who plays a major role on the penalty kill, and doesn't play at all on the powerplay) would point a finger at offensive production on a night where powerplay production matched the penalty kill's ineptitude. The Oilers went 1-for-4 on both the penalty kill and the powerplay. 25% is a fine rate for man advantage production (it would be second in the league over the course of an entire season) but it's an awful number for the penalty-kill to be lugging around. It's especially ugly when you consider that it was Ethan Moreau who made the decision to creep out to the point and double-team Ryan Getzlaf; a decision that left the man he was covering (Scott Niedermayer) alone in the slot. Niedermayer then scored the first of three Ducks' powerplay goals on the night. Given that it has been the penalty kill, more than any other single factor that has sunk the Oilers this season (and sunk them again last night) it comes across as self-serving for the team captain (a defensive specialist) to blame the offense on the night of a 5-3 loss. There's no doubt that Craig MacTavish bears much of the blame for problems this season. He's likely to pay for that with his job, and if he holds true to form he'll publicly claim responsibility for a poor season. Individual players deserve some of the blame, and that includes the captain, even if he is unlikely he is to admit it. Still, none of those targets should hold the final responsibility if (likely when) the Oilers miss the playoffs. It was Kevin Lowe who decided this summer that the Oilers only needed one veteran centre on the team. It was Kevin Lowe who traded away key members of the penalty-killing unit without bothering to replace them. For that matter, while Craig MacTavish is frequently blamed for years of low achievement, it has been Kevin Lowe who assembled those teams from the G.M.'s office. Steve Tambellini was brought in this summer after Lowe's promotion. Whether the blame should fall to him or to Lowe is impossible to say from this vantage point, but between the two of them they decided not to address the penalty-kill all season long. They decided not to bring in another veteran centre; leaving Shawn Horcoff to play far too many minutes and take nearly every critical faceoff. They decided to invest a second-round pick in Ales Kotalik; a powerplay and shootout specialist who has helped the team but who is not only likely to depart this summer, but who never could be the answer to the Oilers' biggest problems in the first place. The problems with this team may not stop with the two men making the decisions, but there's no doubt that they start there.

@ Jonathan Willis: Jonathan - you've said a couple of times that you don't think Kotalik will sign here. Is that a hunch, or have you heard something? Doesn't he like being around other Ales's?
With Visnovsky coming back next year, Kotalik's spot on the powerplay point will be gone. Since he's a powerplay specialist, it would make little sense for the Oilers to pursue him.
April 01 2009, 05:04PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
He could always take a wing spot on the 3rd line. This team could always use another 15-20 goal scorer. Plus who knows how the power play will look next year under our new coach.
April 01 2009, 05:11PM
@ Jack "FMNF" Bauer: To me, I liked how he was starting to fit in on the line with Gagner and Nillson. He was showing some prowess that I don't think was there in BUF.
I really like Kotalik as well. Maybe he had the benefit of an overzealous hit counter in Buffalo but i remember one of the announcers last night saying he has the 2nd most hits on the team behind Moreau. I'm not saying he was doing any JFJ + Stortini manwich's in the corner, but he sure finishes alot more checks then Penner does.
I dunno about messing with cogs position, his speed is better served when he has more room to work with. And offensively he has been the best centre, easily. Ideally it would be 89 who moves to the wing and like DKO said maybe he could take draws, sadly, its an improvement
Boys and Sandra, I remember when the Oil were winning the Cups, I was in Banff for the final game, it was on a weekend. The girlfriend advised me it was either her or the Flyers the night the Oil won the cup. I told her see ya and went out and had a great time in downtown Banff with all the tourists, should we say. Girlfriend left town on the hound and never seen her again. I wish I could same the same thing about KLOWE. See ya never again.
Get used to it folks, the new breed of players comes from the "self esteem" generation and every team will have more inconsistent period to period not knowing what you'll get periods. All those great players from small towns who had to earn their self esteem and weren't praised by mom and dad just for showing up at the rink are a thing of the past. I know I sound like an old fart lost in yesterdays glory, but I see very few really hard nosed guys coming into the league the last few years. Mostly what we get are parameter guys or cherry pickers lolling at the blue line waiting for break out passes. What passes for hard nosed and tough these days are mainly cheap shot, hit from behind artists. Once you sign for your multi-million, multi-year guaranteed contract, you get paid no matter how you play and at the end, you're set even if you don't get another contract. As for good coaches, by definition the good ones are working. Any coach we get will be a newby stepping up a level and just like a draft pick, will be a fifty fifty proposition. Coaches nowadays seem to need to be playschool teachers constantly struggling to keep their players focused on the game,

Lets just hope Katz is listening to what the fan base is saying,If not we will all be complaing again next year come April.
April 01 2009, 08:30PM
@ Rice:
Let's wind the clock back to 2006 when the Oilers got to game 7 of the Cup Finals. We had a pretty stellar team made up of the right mix of veterans and youth. Pronger, Spacek and Jason Smith on the back end. Up front we had a group of forwards who had career years, young fast and skilled with the right mix of veterans. Somehow MacT managed to limp that team into the post season. I can't go back on what I said on my last post.
I'm too frustrated and have zero confidence in this team under MacT. Either he uses the wrong guys in the wrong situations and has a hard on for longshots. Out of all his career 4th line players with heart he loves to play we got Brodziak, Horcoff and Pisani giving it on a nightly basis. Out of necessity he played the young guys last year and they ran with it. I just don't know with this team anymore, I think the way they start their games is a reflection on a guy who can't get his team properly fired up for anything.
I personally think MacT is a nice guy and sets forward an attitude that is easy to like. Maybe that's the weakness in his happy go lucky attitude and the players don't respond or want to play for a guy who seems to be as dangerous as a bag of pillows. I have ideas what they need and what they should do, but thats one opinion out of a thousand from probably that many frustrated Oiler fans like me. I don't wanna see guys like Gagner getting turned into a penalty killer. We have the skill we need the toughness, the balls, the leadership and most importantly someone to f'in show them what to do. ie: COACHING!

I've been critical of a lot of moves this year, but that one was a purely developmental one IMO. It's going to help the kid long-term on his defensive zone awareness if he can play in that situation, and I'm sure that's what MacT was going for.
Not going to win the team any games right now, but it should pay-off in the future.
April 01 2009, 09:43PM
@ beedouble-R-You-In?:
I'm not a huge fan of MacT's work this year, and I'm not opposed to bringing in a new coach, but I think MacT is getting too much blame for this year, and not enuff credit for what he's done for the past seven years. I don't think it's a stretch to say that over MacT's tenure the team performed at a level higher than the talent would suggest it would. And there hasn't been an Oiler team since the lockout that didn't have at least one glaring weakness MacT had to overcome. In 2006 it was goaltending, until Roloson arrived. In 2007, we had no defence. In 2008, no scoring. This year, as Willis noted, we got rid of half of our PK core and a couple of key veterans that were never replaced. Up until this season, one of the strengths of the Oilers was their preparation and their work ethic. I think the way the Oilers played this year speaks as much to the players, who shouldn't need to be inspired by a coach to play hard at this time of year and with this much at stake, than the coaching.
I'm not gonna say that this has been a stellar year for MacT, he's been part of the problem not part of the solution. Still, this can't all be thrown at MacT's feet.
This season, probably the most frustrating I can remember, was truly a group effort.
April 01 2009, 10:53PM
@ BarryS: I don't think it's fair to say that by definition the best coaches are all working. I would say there are more than 30 good coaches in the world.
April 01 2009, 10:56PM
i think jonathan nailed it on the head, that penalty killing has been the team's single biggest problem. a similar problem the oilers have had this year is the way the play whenthey have the lead. when the game is tied or they are behind, they play with passion and intensity. when they have the lead, they go into a shell , sit back and try to protect the lead. this killed them in the Detroit loss last week and in the OT loss in Montreal a few weeks ago, as well as the OT loss to Nashville a few weeks ago. It almost cost them the Anaheim game in Anaheim on Sunday too. The point I think Jonathan and Lowetide made 3-4 months ago is that it is not that hard to bring in a veteran center or defensive penalty killer. finding scorers is difficult. there are not that many of them and they cost a lot of money, and a lot of players or draft picks. how much would it have cost the Oilers to get Marty Reasoner and Marek Malik at the trade deadline or better yet three weeks earlier? a 6th round pick for each of them? or maybe one of the prospects on the farm who will never pan out like Goulet or Trukhno or O'marra? And while we are at it, one topic that has not been discussed much is the trading of Raffi Torres for Gilbert Brule. Now I know Torres was a popular whipping boy here but at least he was a legitimate NHL player with speed, toughness and grit. His offensive contribution was streaky, but when he did not score he was an effective defensive player, he had speed and toughness and a mean streak. When he did score he was like a lesser version of Jarome Iginla with speed, toughness, good in tight and very good in shoot outs.
I look at the team the Oilers had believe it or not only two years ago. All the frigging trades and moves are they any better off? What if they had just kept Ryan Smyth, is Nilson, O'Marra and Plante any better?? THen they spend that money on Penner. Who would you rather have, Smyth and the picks we gave up for Penner, or Penner, Nilsson, O'Marra and Plante... How about Stoll and Greene for Visnovsky? What is the point? We already have three offensive defenceman who cannot kill a penalty! If the Oilers' third line was Stoll, Torres and Pisani this year with Brodziak, Morea and Stortini on the third line isn't that a much better bottom six? I am not even going to go to the Glencross screw up.
I guess my point is, despite Mctavish's quirks, I think Lowe is much more to blame. He has made so many inane player moves, sometimes it seems just for the sake of doing something. then this year when it became so obvious at the 25 game mark that they could not hold a lead and could not kill a penalty, that they needed some veteran help, they did nothing when every observant fan recognized the clear need...
so where now? well if they win 5 in a row they make the playoffs . LOL. but seriously, they need to get bigger. they need to trade Nilsson and Pouliot for a legitimate third line center who can win faceoffs, fight and kill penalties. whether or not that guy gets points is less important. they need to trade Gilbert Or Grebs or Vish for a legitimate top 6 power winger. they need to sign a big tough mean dman who can kill penalties and be a number 3-4. a 28 year old Jason Smith if there is one.
We need Sgt. Gunnery Hartman to coach the Oilers.

how much would it have cost the Oilers to get Marty Reasoner and Marek Malik at the trade deadline or better yet three weeks earlier? a 6th round pick for each of them? or maybe one of the prospects on the farm who will never pan out like Goulet or Trukhno or O'marra? And while we are at it, one topic that has not been discussed much is the trading of Raffi Torres for Gilbert Brule. Now I know Torres was a popular whipping boy here but at least he was a legitimate NHL player with speed, toughness and grit. His offensive contribution was streaky, but when he did not score he was an effective defensive player, he had speed and toughness and a mean streak. When he did score he was like a lesser version of Jarome Iginla with speed, toughness, good in tight and very good in shoot outs. I look at the team the Oilers had believe it or not only two years ago. All the frigging trades and moves are they any better off? What if they had just kept Ryan Smyth, is Nilson, O'Marra and Plante any better?? THen they spend that money on Penner. Who would you rather have, Smyth and the picks we gave up for Penner, or Penner, Nilsson, O'Marra and Plante… How about Stoll and Greene for Visnovsky? What is the point? We already have three offensive defenceman who cannot kill a penalty! If the Oilers' third line was Stoll, Torres and Pisani this year with Brodziak, Morea and Stortini on the third line isn't that a much better bottom six? I am not even going to go to the Glencross screw up.
Now, I agree that Lowe is probably the biggest part of the problem the Oilers face, but why do people think that Reasoner or Torres could be a solution to any problem?? I realize Marty can win draws, but that's all he can do. He was taking up a spot on the roster that could be better used to develop a young player like Brodziak. Is Brodziak as effective as Reasoner in every aspect? Obviously not, but he is bigger, faster and younger - he can improve, whereas Reasoner is winding up a pretty decent career.
And Torres???? How the hell can anyone say with a straight face that he was an effective defensive player?? He was, without question, the worst defensive player on the Oilers during his last two years here. He would show up every 10 games or so to tease the fans with a rare combination of toughness and skill, but it happened too few times. I don't think I've ever seen a player give away the puck so many times from his own blueline and through the neutral zone. He was the forward equivalent of Marc Andre Bergeron. He has all the tools, but no toolbox.
I agree that the Oilers miss Stoll more than I thought they would, but have you noticed how Hemsky performs without Lubo? The guy is a premier puck moving defenseman and I think if he wasn't hurt, the Oil are comfortably in the playoffs. There are only a handful of those kind of defenseman in the league and the Oilers are fortunate to have one.
April 02 2009, 03:00PM
Torres was a plus player on a minus team here every year except 2007 when they lost 20 games in a row to end the season. I cannot remember him being a liability at all. He won battles and got the puck out of his own zone better than many of the midgets playing for the oilers this year. He scored the biggest goal in recent franchise history against san Jose in the third period of game three with the Oilers down 1-0 he tied the game. He knocked Michalek unconscious and put him out of the series, did the same thing to a player in Detroit. On this small team that refuses to hit he is more of an nhl player than Brule, and if Brule ever makes it here, it will be because we had to ship out one of the other smurfs up front. In addition, every once in a while he went on a scoring streak and got a ton of goals when the Oilers needed them, like he is doing now for Columbus...

11 projects
14 projects

22 projects
|2.S.E. Funding: The recommended budget for this objective was met.
Progress: More than twenty projects were funded that were specific to this objective. Scientific advances in this area include mechanistic and mutation linkages of epilepsy and ASD-like behaviors, as well as circadian rhythm disruptions downstream of ASD-associated mutations.
Remaining Gaps, Needs and Opportunities: While studies on co-occurring conditions have been initiated, a greater depth of understanding is needed. Further efforts are needed, especially on wandering, metabolic and immune conditions related to ASD, as well as a systems-biology approach to understand how these co-occurring conditions are related to ASD. In order to more accurately assess progress, wandering/elopement should be considered separately from seizures/epilepsy/sleep. Familial autoimmune disorders could be moved to 2.S.A to be grouped with other immune-related issues.

I think its a bit too dark, from a reader's point of view. Lines are too bold. It hurts my eyes.

It's way overleveled. Don't use levels to make the blacks completeley black, that has to be done by hand (either burn or brush). The same goes to the specks of dust, only that you'd be changing the color to white, duh. Also some lines look blurry, don't know what you did there. Maybe you did it to counter the lack of anti-aliasing that came from overleveling or maybe you used a denoising program and went too far? Well, the grays look similar to the raw so probably it's not the second one. I can't comment much more really, I'm not much of an expert.

I think that if you told us what techniques you used on the page we could help you better.
Besides the page being overleveled I noticed some dust on the page still, my suggestion would be to make a copy of your clean and move the black level all the way up so that you can see what dust is still there. Then you can brush over the dust more easily as it will be more visible.
I leveled it like... Twice I think and overused the Noise removal tool. o.o
I have been doing better with my cleans now. ^^
Thanks for the comments. ^^
wow it feels so weird being on the other side of the cleaning track but you over denoised. you can tell in the lines above Ichigo's head my suggestion is to look at those lines(or any set of detailed lines so you can tell when you moved one slider a little too much)

Our House: Providing Hope for the Working Poor
Our House, a nonprofit based in central Arkansas, helps people move from homelessness to transitional housing, and eventually to permanent supportive housing.
Because Our House targets the working homeless, adults living in its shelter or in any of its four housing programs must be willing and able to work. Our House allows families to stay together and provides assistance with long-term needs and planning. Our House is the only program of its type in Arkansas.
In 1988, Our House opened as a 40-bed emergency shelter in the old parish hall of St. Andrew's Catholic Church in downtown Little Rock. Recognizing that housing alone cannot keep a family out of homelessness, Our House began providing other essential services and to help homeless families acquire the skills and support they need to turn their lives around. In 1991, Our House began offering job skills training programs focusing on computer training. The program also provides free childcare for homeless children while their parents work full-time jobs.
In the past decade, Open House added after-school and summer programs for school-aged youth, offering the first such services in the state specifically for homeless children. Our House also co-founded a free clinic for uninsured low-income people. The clinic is located across the street from the Family Housing facilities.
Today, Our House is nationally recognized and it is a model for similar programs across the country.
For more information on how a financial institution might partner with Our House, please contact Georgia Mjartan, Executive Director, at (501) 374-7383 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Funding for Small Businesses in Arkansas
Founded in 1957, the ACC has helped launch new economic development opportunities for businesses across the state. Since its inception, the family of companies has provided more than $385 million in capital to small businesses in Arkansas. As an SBA and USDA Preferred Lender, ACC partners with numerous sources to mitigate the risks associated with providing capital to businesses. In 2002, ACC established the Heartland Renaissance Fund, a designated Community Development Entity (CDE) that is active in the New Markets Tax Credit industry and has received three allocation awards (totaling $140 million) from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Qualified investments into designated CDEs such as the Heartland Renaissance Fund provide investors with federal tax credit opportunities and provide capital to further spur economic development within federally designated low-income areas.
6BCC, established in 1989, is a statewide provider of Small Business Administration 504 loans. Through the use of long-term financing, 6BCC encourages economic development by giving small businesses the opportunity to acquire major fixed assets for expansion or modernization. The program's low down-payment requirements contribute to more operating cash available for operations of the small business.
In 1998, ACCG Lending created the ACRC as another financing tool to promote economic development and strengthen communities. In 2010, the ACRC was designated as a Community Development Financial Institution, allowing it to pursue federal grants or other low-cost sources of capital, which are then deployed in underserved markets across the state.
