The Emery County Commissioners met in Green River for their regular commission meeting on Aug. 19. The first item of business was the approval of the appointment of three new members to fill vacancies on the North Emery Water Users Special Service District. Kevin Jensen, Joy Barton and Mike McCandless were approved for the board.
Maughn Guymon was on hand from the Area Agency on Aging which is a division of the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments. Guymon explained that the state fiscal year runs from July to June and every year they send state dollars to be utilized by the three county area. The funds are put through a formula for appropriation to the various programs run by the division. These programs include the food services for the elderly. Guymon said funds are close to the same with a reduction of $1,600 which will cut mainly into the food services. "You can serve a lot of meals for $1,600," said Guymon.
Commissioner Ira Hatch extended a vote of thanks to Guymon for the dedicated effort he puts forth in running the aging program for the counties. The commission approved the agreement between the county and the agency for the administration of the funds for the program.
Mayor Glen Dale Johnson of Green River spoke under the category of citizen concerns. He said that Green River City has paid for the improvements to the TV communications and the city has been reimbursed by the CDBG for their portion and the county was scheduled to pay the rest of the bill up to $10,000. The commissioners approved the payment to reimburse Green River City and the action will be ratified at the next meeting. Mayor Johnson said they had to pay half of the costs up front before the contractor would begin the work and the other half was paid when they were finished.
Mayor Johnson also requested information about the water rates the county pays for their property in other cities throughout the county. Mayor Johnson said he would take these findings before the Green River City Council again. The council had voted no to a request by the county to be charged residential rates instead of commercial rates for the county held properties in Green River City. Mayor Johnson also said that Green River City subsidizes the water for the senior center so the county doesn't incur an expense for the Green River Senior Citizen Center.
Mayor Johnson invited the commissioners to the Melon Days Celebration which will be held Sept. 19-21. A golf tournament and Queen pageant will be held on the 19th and the vendors will begin in the park at noon. The parade will be on Sept. 20.
A representative from Nextel was on hand to discuss the communication site sublease. Commissioner Drew Sitterud said the item was being tabled until County Attorney Dave Blackwell had a chance to look at the contract. Commissioner Sitterud explained that Nextel wants connections on the Horn Mountain Site and the Moore Site and will build a tower for Emery which is now without cellular phone service. Sheriff Lamar Guymon also suggested they put one on the Cedar Mountain tower as well as the Castle Dale tower and this would take coverage clear into Grand Junction. The county owns the tower on Cedar Mountain.
The representative requested the county attorney send any revisions and changes to Nextel so they can be aware of any problems with the contract.
Morris Sorenson spoke to the commission about the forest service agreements. The forest service has picked up the costs to improvements on the Horn Mountain Road and the county has provided the equipment. Sorenson pointed out that these agreements help with county road maintenance costs and are beneficial to the county.
Commissioner Hatch informed the audience on the next item which was the consdieration and approval of the US Forest Service payment options. The federal government makes payments for federal lands not taxed for products taken off of the land. They run their formula and a certain percentage comes back to the county. Commissioner Hatch stressed that this program was not to be confused with PILT funding which is a payment based on acreage.
The forest service payment is divided with 50 percent required to go to schools and 50 percent to roads. The payment options include being paid an amount for the yearly quota or an average payment of three years combined. The numbers for 2001 was $19,252 and 2002 was $17,873. If the county uses the 100 percent allocation the number for this year will be $25,300. Commissioner Hatch said that now is the time to act on whether they want to continue to do the averaging or go with the 100 percent allocation. The commission voted to go with the 100 percent allocation.
The commission approved a personnel item for the clerk/audiors office to advertise for a up to 39 hours-3/4 time employee.
The commissioners gave their reports next and Commissioner Gary Kofford said the fair is over and it was a success. There are a few suggestions that have been made that will be discussed for next year. Commissioner Kofford thanked the many people who participated and the time and effort put into the event by the volunteers. Commissioner Kofford also explained the UAC wilderness proposal and whether or not the county should participate. He said the first meeting for public comment will be held on Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Museum of the San Rafael.
Commissioner Hatch also commended Commissioner Kofford and Sheriff Guymon for the hard work they put into the fair. Commissioner Sitterud said they had sent a letter of support to the Moab BLM concerning the Solitude landfill in Green River. Emery County supports the project and thinks it will be good for the Green River economy.
He also reported that on the wild and scenic river proposal that the Muddy River has been dropped from Emery to where it crosses I-70. It has a number of dry stretches and has been dropped to the Lone Creek crossing. It was noted that only the upper section has been dropped from the BLM process. On Aug. 26 at 9 a.m. the wild and scenic river group for the forest service will meet at the court house in Castle Dale.

One medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces, can be used in place of the mushrooms in this recipe.
If a grill basket isn't available, make sure the vegetable pieces are large enough so that they don't fall through the grill. Also, cut the vegetables the same size so all the ingredients cook in the same amount of time.
Cut the vegetables up to one day in advance; cover and refrigerate them. Toss the vegetables with the oil mixture just before cooking.

Download a PDF of this fact sheet here
Egg donation is when a woman (donor) gives her eggs to another woman (recipient) to allow the recipient to have a baby. To donate eggs, the donor must be given medications that will cause her to develop multiple eggs over a single cycle. The eggs are then removed from the donor by placing a needle that is attached to an ultrasound probe through the vaginal tissues. The eggs are then gently aspirated (suctioned) from the ovaries. Once the eggs are removed, they are evaluated by an embryologist. Then sperm from the male partner or a sperm bank is placed around or injected into each egg. This process is called in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The recipient's uterus (womb) must be synchronized with the donor's stimulation so that they are ready at the same time. There are several ways to achieve this. If the woman still has regular menstrual cycles, a medication is often used to suppress her ovaries and her menstrual cycle. Once the donor starts the medication to stimulate her ovaries, the recipient begins taking estrogen to develop her uterine lining. Around the time of egg retrieval, the recipient will begin taking progesterone to enable implantation of the embryo (fertilized egg). The embryo(s) will be transferred to the recipient's uterus three to five days after fertilization. Hormones continue to be given until the pregnancy test and then, if the test is positive, during the early part of the first trimester of the resulting pregnancy.
Egg donation is used for a woman who wishes to have a child but cannot get pregnant with her own eggs. This may be because she was born without ovaries, is in menopause, did not respond adequately to hormonal stimulation of her ovaries in the past, or has had poor egg or embryo quality with previous IVF attempts. Women may also choose to use a donor if they have a genetic disease that they do not want to pass on to their children.
Egg donors are women, usually between the ages of 21 and 34, who are willing to provide their eggs to a recipient. They may be anonymous (unknown) or known to the intended parents. Anonymous donors are recruited through egg donation programs or agencies and are not known to the recipient. However, some couples find donors through advertisements. Recipients should be cautious about recruiting donors without the use of an intermediary to screen the donors and should strongly consider seeking legal counsel. Known (also called directed) donors are generally a close friend or relative of the recipient.
The donor is tested for infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis. All donors should be tested to be sure that they are not carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene. Other genetic testing should be performed based on the donor's history and ethnic background. Some programs perform chromosome analysis and test for Fragile X syndrome; however, this testing is not required. Psychometric testing is often done as part of the mental health screening.
Evaluation of the recipient is similar to that of couples undergoing routine IVF. This should include a comprehensive medical history from both partners, including blood type and Rh factor, and testing for sexually transmitted diseases including HIV, hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. The couple should be counseled by a mental health professional about the complexity of the decision to use donor eggs.
The recipient should have a pelvic exam and an assessment of her uterus (womb). If she is over 45 years old, a more thorough evaluation should be done, including an assessment of heart function and risk of pregnancy-related diseases. She may also be advised to see a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancy. The male partner's sperm should be analyzed and appropriate genetic screening should be obtained based on his history and ethnic background.
The success of egg donation depends on many factors but is not considered to be related to the age of the recipient. Success rates compiled by the Centers for Disease Control for the year 2010 show an average birth rate per embryo transfer of 55% for all egg donor programs.

A better primary proposalPosted Wednesday, May 7, 2008, at 9:37 AM
In previous years, people complained that presidential elections were pretty much over after the March Super Tuesday -- and they were. That meant primaries in other parts of the country didn't have much impact.
Now, they're complaining that the presidential election race, at least for the
Democrats, is taking too long -- and it is, although at least the late spring primaries finally have some impact.
People are never satisfied.
To win a national election, you need just seven states to earn enough electoral college delegates -- California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
So let me propose a new system for a national primary process.
Let's keep with tradition and let Iowa and New Hampshire launch the presidential race. Both represent key demographics that will be important in any election and they quickly weed out the candidates who have no chance.
But then, let's divide the country into four regions, each with its own common primary date -- The west, the south, the midwest and the northeast.
I'd start with the west where California would dominate. Then move to the south (Texas and Florida), before heading to the midwest (Illinois and Ohio) and finishing up in the northeast (Pennsylvania and New York).
Put one month between each of those regional primaries (March, April, May, June). Hold the conventions in July and run the national campaigns until November.
There are several advantages to this process. Each region has its unique issues (for example, in the west, public lands issues are far more important than in the northeast).
More importantly, candidates won't have to criss-cross the country, which drives up the costs of their campaigns. They'd be more likely to visit each state in each region (although Alaska and Hawaii would probably still get shafted). They'd be spending more time focusing on regional issues and learning about those regional issues.
And it's unlikely anybody would have a clear victory in hand too early, making each primary actually important at the national level.
It's just one idea to help change the system and make it more responsive.

Hmmm. How does one describe Dave Semenko's impact in Oiler games in the 1980's? Dave Semenko was a crusher, a nuclear deterrent and fear incorporated all rolled into one. There were many times during the glory years that Glen Sather could settle a wild game down just by having the big man skate onto the ice during a stoppage in play. Dave Semenko was king of the NHL enforcers in the era where there was nowhere to hide.
courtesy hockeydraftcentral
- Chosen 25th overall by Minnesota in the 1977 NHL draft
- Chosen 21st overall by Houston in the 1977 NHL draft
Semenko never played for either team, instead playing for the Edmonton Oilers (WHA) signing immediately after the Oilers acquired him from Houston 1977 (he had originally planned on spending the season in junior, but played only 7 games in the WHL). Semenko's rights were returned to Minnesota with the NHL-WHA merger in 1979, but he was soon dealt back to Edmonton in exchange for 1979 second-round pick (Neal Broten) and 1979 third-round pick (Kevin Maxwell) on August 9, 1979.
Dave Semenko was a unique player and a famous personality in Edmonton during and after his playing days. Blessed with an exceptional sense of humor and a feared on-ice fighter, Semenko was "larger than life" in more ways than stature.
- Kevin Lowe: "The question has often been asked, how tough was Sammy? Pat Price would tell stories about the Gassoff brothers and Lee Fogolin had a few about Battleship Bob Kelly. Slats never forgot John Ferguson, and then there was Dave Schultz and the Broad Street Bullies. But the general consensus had it that Sammy was the toughest of all. He was in a class of his own; he didn't beat guys up, he'd destroyed them. He employed a combination of sheer strength, sheer power, and sheer quickness, but mostly power. He wasted players with just two or three punches. And all this, although he never really had a mean streak in his body!"
He was not a terrific skater, although he did work hard to improve in that area. Semenko played on all 4 lines as needed, and helped score a few goals by standing in front of the net and blocking out the sun. Semenko was NOT a goon in the modern sense, altough toward the end of his career icetime had been greatly reduced--especially in his final season.
- Scored last goal in WHA history during Game 6 of Avco Trophy final series on May 20, 1979, at Winnipeg
- Two Stanley Cup wins (1984, 1985)
- Ali v Semenko
By the time Edmonton traded Semenko, he'd collected close to 1,000 pims and played the enforcer role to several Hall of Famers. Edmonton relied heavily on the big man early in the 1980s, but by 1987 boasted the likes of Marty McSorley and Kevin McClelland up front and plenty of enforcement along the blue. He was sent to Hartford December 12, 1986 for a 1988 3rd rd pick.
Semenko was a legendary player while in Edmonton and Oiler fans compare all comers in the "enforcer" division against their memory of "Sammy" during the glory days.
Number 27 is Dave Semenko. It is easy to regard Semenko as a goon. He is 6.04, weighs 215 pounds and has fierce, dark eyes and a powerful jaw. He keeps his hair long and at training camp wore a headband that added to his Ukrainian gypsy air. On the ice, he is the team's enforcer; and there are those who claim he is, or could be, the heavyweight champion of the NHL. Off the ice, though he has a quiet offhand wit that is difficult to capture in print.
One morning in training camp, he sat looking out over the ice, talking of what he'd done that summer, which turned out to be nothing (he is married and has a young son) and then he said: "do you know what I used to think about? Making a perfect pass. I'd think about coming out from our end, and just as I came out, sending it right across to the other side, and hitting my other winger in full stride just as he hit the other line. I'd dream about that play."

Always had a soft spot for Semenko... everytime he hit the ice, you wondered who would leave it at the end of a shift on the arm of a trainer.
Battles of Alberta were literally wars back then, and guys like Gretzky should petition Katz to put a statue of Semenko in front of the arena because he cleared the ice for all the "skill" players to rack up the points.
I read in one of the many Gretzky bios I have been given over the years where Gretz' was asked which player had the most effect on his career.
He said Semenko, I am sure to many's surprise. The big man's presence allowed him (and the others) to play like they could, and survive it.
Some of the younger readers may not be aware that when Gretzky came into the NHL, common wisdom from abroad said he wouldn't be able to do what he had done before, basically because he was a wussy and too small.
Of course when he immediately started blowing the doors off the league, he had a giant target on him, and as LT said, back then there was nowhere to hide. This was only a couple of years after the Broadstreet Bullies after all.
The players in the league soon came to learn not to go too far with the Oiler's talent (with Messier's help of course, and Don Jackson, although I think he didn't care if he won or not, he would smile at guys he was fighting, mouth bleeding, that has to make you wonder if you won or not).
I remember him battling Jim Kyte (even bigger than Sammy), punching him so hard and Kyte just crumpling. I felt sorry for Kyte, it was ugly. In his prime Semenko was absolutely devastating.
Also read where Semenko said Larry Playfair was the toughest guy he fought because he was so strong.
The Oiler's always were a tough team back then, be it Messier, McSorley, Manson, Brown, Marchment, even Kurri could chuck the mitts pretty good. Gretzky not so much. Things sure have changed.
i was close to the ice for that kyte fight,semenko bent over and basically picked kyte up and told him to, just hang on,class all the way semenko.
Players on other teams had a nickname for 27 back then--they called him "Cementhead". It was actually not as derogatory as it might first seem.
Reason? He could take a punch right between the eyes, blink once, then proceed to beat the crap out of the other guy.
That was the really scary thing about Semenko--a head shot that could drop a buffalo would only make him come back stronger in many fights.
That is it on Sememko post.That is the best you can come up with?
Makes sad face.
How does one describe Dave Semenko's impact in Oiler games in the 1980's?
Answer....Look at Tim Hunter's nose.
My favorite Oiler by a mile. I remember playing minor hockey and watching kids fight over jerseys with number 7,11,4,9, or 99. I always asked for #27 (which they never had). I wear # 27 to play rec now, and all the younger guys ask me why, and who wore it. Fools

Great stuff Lowtide! I grew up with the Oilers in the 80's. I must have read through the book by Peter Gzowski," The Game of Our Lives" 3-4 times before I was 12. The profile he did on the Oilers 2nd season both filled and fueled my Oil obsession and I have always wanted to know what happened to many of those "characters" after the close of the Oilers sophomore season. I'd love to read profiles on a few of those first and second year Oilers. Players like Blair BJ MacDonald, Brett Callighen, Stan Weir, Jim Corsi, etc. That would be absolutely fantastic along with updates on what they are up to now. A Nation profile to go along with a segment on Nation Radio would be even better! An interview with some these guys would definitely have me tuning in every week! (I already am, but you get my point) Keep the Profiles coming!

The picture at the top looks like a mugshot after a bender gone wrong ...... but I digress.
My favorite Sammy story was during an off season, a few years into his career. Slats, being Slats, gave Semenko an off season workout plan to follow to stay in shape and strengthen a knee he had tweaked, late in the year.
During the summer Slats phoned up Sammy and asked him how the workout was going. Sammy replied, "it's all good except for the jogging". Slat's quickly replied, "It's the knee isn't it, I was worried about that".
Sammy's reply ...... "Nope, the wind keeps putting my smoke out". Sather dropped a couple F-bombs and hung up.
December 07 2012, 09:53AM
Didn't he power slam someone? That was one of my first Oiler memories.. A powerslam.
December 07 2012, 10:12AM
Best Semenko fight... Ron Delorme of the canucks. Sammy blasted Delorme's helmet 10 feet straight up.
With all due respect to a great inforcer, when the Bruins were in town and Stan Johnathan was on the ice, Semenko was meek as a kitten.
OMG he looks like buffalo bill!
Put the lotion in the basket

@Ales Hallsky
He was for sure (because I'm not sure how to spell indefinetly)on of my favourite Oiler's. That Battles of Alberta back then would have been very different without him.
One thing has bothered me over the years. He fought a Canuck 3 times in one game. Kim Clackson or Clack Kimson or somthing like that. I was listening to Rod Phillips describe it (he was great with the fights. Loved his exagerations) . . anyway Sammy demolished this Kim or Kam in each fight. I never understood how or why this guy would come back a second and third time.

Now this book was written by James Patterson with no co-writers. This is his famous Alex Cross series. I like how James Patterson writes but I am not a fan of the famous Alex Cross. I find him smug. He keeps saying how great of a dad he is but then then he is never home. Course he is fictional, which is a testament to James Patterson's writing ability that he can get me to feel this way about a fictional character, or maybe I'm a bit bent and need to see someone professionally. James Patterson had a book titled "Kill Alex Cross", I was routing for the bad guys. In his latest "Merry Christmas, Alex Cross" Alex is trying to have Christmas at home with his family but of course he gets called into action because he is the best and there is no one else they could conceivably call. The book starts out with a hostage scene and they need Alex. I'm thinking they must have other hostage negotiators call one of them, don't they rotate the on duty roster. I think they put this in the book to show how Alex is "ripped" away from his family on Christmas Eve. Personally I think he could have waved off this one. The next bit he is indeed needed for as he was involved in the first terrorist attack so he knows how they operate. Hala Al Dossari is back. Alex and Mahoney worked together (in a previous book) to catch Al Dossari and Alex had constructed an extensive profile of her. He even laments being called in and away from his family on Christmas. This is from chapter 49: "Seemed like everybody in the District had given up on going outside and settled in for a sweet night. Everybody, of course, except me. When do I start saying no, I thought, instead of just reacting to whatever crisis life sends my way? When do I begin to live Alex Cross's life? " Then he goes on about how great his kids are and how spry his 90 something nana is, blah blah blah. Luckily we get back to Hala and she is shooting people while her cohorts are stealing dangerous chemicals from a train. One thing I really like was how he described the stopping of the train and the problems they had with the physical removal of heavy drums of chemicals in winter. I especially like when the snow plow came along. You could feel the frustration of the bad guys at having to traverse through the snow especially since they were desert people and not dressed or used to snow. I enjoyed this even if I kind of did want Alex to fail and for sure wanted him to quit telling me how great a dad he is.

Dishrack storage is the hub of a kitchen. You can quickly and easily add storage space around your kitchen sink with a dishrack. Give dishes and pots a place to dry with a dish rack or dish drainer. If you have a double sink - a dish strainer is a must. A dish drying rack made for in-sink use clears up a lot of counter space, especially dish racks that hold sponges, soap, and flatware. Need more sink storage space? Dish drainer racks are perfect for holding and draining sponges and brushes, while our over-the-sink dish shelves create room for soap and other cleaning supplies. Find the best dish rack for your kitchen. Find more kitchen storage with kitchen sink sponge holder & sink storage & Fridge Binz! collection.
If you want to save countertop space and need a place to dry a handful of items that you don't want to put in the dishwasher a sink mat would be a good solution. This dish dryer works just as well as any other small dish drainer. A sink mat can do its job without overtaking the space like a large dish drainer. A dish dryer mat like this one can look good at the same time! If you have more heavy duty drying to do, you should try out our myriad of options - a sink organizer that is perfect for you can be found. We have something as clever as a grid sink dish drainer that you can place directly in your sink, with a hole in the middle allowing for the drain hole. We have 2 piece sink sets that are the versatile kitchen dish drainer that you can use on the countertop if you want or you can place the compact dish rack drainer directly in the sink to save space.

If you would like to clear up space around your sink, don't forget the option of going vertical - lift items up and away from the sink and countertop and maximize your space. In conjunction with a small dish drainer (for sink) use over the sink shelves for additional storage. Put your dish soap, hand soap, lotion and anything else you can think of, on your over the sink shelf. There is more to countertop and sink organization than dish drainers for sinks. We also have an in sink cutting board with built in strainer that you can wash, chop, and prep your veggies or fruit on while still keeping your countertop free and clear. Make sure to use dish drainers for small sinks with this option. You don't have to use a small sink dish rack, but it can save you space so, you can easily rinse off those veggies and keep the water mess in food prep contained to the sink. Another option would be a narrow over the sink dish drainer. De-clutter your sink. Get the dish drainer for small sink, a collapsible over the sink dish drainer, or an expandable over the sink dish drainer. Don't forget your in sink dish drainer racks. Organize your flatware. Give your sponge a home. Keep all your soaps and glass washing tools up and away on an over the counter sink shelf. Take advantage of SpaceSavers excellent variety of sink organizational tools from an in sink dish drain to a small over the sink dish drainer to a large dishrack.

BLM Awards 2012 Eric Finstick Award to Dolores Resident (04-17-13)
DOLORES, Colo. - Today, the Bureau of Land Management's Colorado State Director Helen Hankins presented Victoria Atkins, Lead Interpretive Specialist at the Anasazi Heritage Center, with the annual Eric Finstick Stewardship Award.
The award recognizes the contribution of BLM employees in managing BLM's special places, through remembrance of long-time BLM Colorado Wilderness Coordinator Eric Finstick.
"Eric was an exemplary steward of public lands and was dedicated to preserving wilderness and the public's special places," said Hankins.
Atkins earned the award for her service as a BLM archaeologist, interpretive lead and acting center director over the course of her 26-year career. One of her priorities is fostering partnerships and volunteer opportunities with diverse communities to promote stewardship of Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. The BLM's dedicated volunteers are directly responsible for assisting the waves of visitors at the Anasazi Heritage Center
"Victoria is the essence of the success that we have in education and interpretation in the four corners and the BLM, because of her great efforts and achievements working with people and communities," said Hankins.
As an interpretive specialist, Atkins uses her talents to ensure the Anasazi Heritage Center's exhibits are fresh and engaging for educators, docents and visitors. She also works to provide schools with lessons aligned with the State of Colorado's Education Standards and Benchmarks to foster an appreciation for museums.
Over the last few years, Atkins was the agency lead in a heritage tourism project with the National Geographic-branded "Four Corners Geotourism MapGuide." The resulting map elevated the monument's status to an internationally-recognized sustainable tourism destination.
Atkins is also a graduate of the BLM's 2011 Leadership Academy, where she completed a supervisory detail, extensive course work and a national level project.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Falls apart after 3 or 4 uses
"This is such a cheap shoe. At first I thought it was great. Very warm, kept my feet dry. For the first couple of uses it was great. I've only had these boots for less than 3 months and I noticed today that the top of the shows (the "waterproof part) are all cracked and exposed. Boston has had maybe 7 days this winter when I've needed to wear my boots. That's certainly NOT enough time to become cracked and damaged."

"These boots are quite warm. They run a bit big, which is good if you are wearing wool socks. They are extremely sturdy and don't take much time to break into. Worth it."

Garon comes clean... sort of
Robin Brownlee
March 23 2008 10:03PM
Mathieu Garon still won't say it's his ankle that's kept him out of the Edmonton Oilers line-up the last five games, but he admitted today he's been injured since March 7.
Speaking to reporters for the first time since coach Craig MacTavish made it public he's too banged up to play but not injured so badly he can't dress, Garon said he was injured in a 2–1 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
"It's tough. It's never good timing when you get injured," said Garon, who is 26-18-1 with a 2.66 goals-against average and a .913 saves percentage. "At the same time, we're playing good and we keep on winning. That's positive, but, as a player, you always want to be back as soon as possible."
Garon, 30, played through the injury and made his 17th straight start March 13 in Colorado before being pulled with the score 3–0 in favour of Dwayne Roloson in a 5–1 loss.
He confirmed today he aggravated the injury going into that game four days earlier in Chicago when Matt Greene dumped 250-pound Blackhawks forward Dustin Byfuglien on top of him.
Garon and the Oilers hoped the ankle would settle down while Roloson carried the load, but when that didn't happen, MacTavish admitted his top stopper was hurt after a 4–1 loss to Vancouver last Thursday.
"I tried for a bit," he said. "I could maybe still, like, do it, but a little rest is good. We were trying to get it fixed."
With four games in the next six nights, including back-to-back games against Colorado and Calgary Friday and Saturday, the question now is whether Garon is fit enough to make a start.
"When we practice like today, I think it's better for me to stay off," Garon said. "For the games, I'm all right.
"We'll see how it goes. Maybe tomorrow I'll go for a practice and see how it goes. For right now, it's just a matter of getting treatments and getting ready."
Roloson's allowed 13 goals in his last three starts, but the Oilers have won two of those and are 4–1 since he took over from Garon.
—Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5pm on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
This news is odd but it makes sense, the more players that go down the better the teams record gets. I was telling this to a blonde at the bar and she told me that if the Oilers charter plane goes down then they are a shoe in for winning the cup.
Self medication can sometimes affect you negatively.
madmod give your head a shake you tool. don't even joke about that
Here's to hoping its not a high ankle sprain............................... Roli can't handle it right now. He's fading.
1011011: Sorry if you don't get the humor that is mAD~mOD. I really don't want to see the oiler's charter crash, but honesty if you've ever heard any of my e-mails read on Total Sports or read my postings on Oilfans.com you would know that I am the sarcastic voice that the world has come to love.

Why can't there be wonderfully comfortable tools that are easy to use? The man who asked these questions was Sam Farber, an entrepreneur in the housewares industry. Noticing that his wife Betsey was having difficulty gripping ordinary kitchen tools due to a slight case of arthritis in her hands, he saw an opportunity to create more comfortable cooking tools that would benefit all users. Sam came out of retirement and approached the design firm Smart Design with that challenge. As part of the initial research that included talking with consumers, chefs and retailers, Patricia Moore, a noted gerontologist, was brought on board to help understand the needs of users with special needs. After hundreds of models, dozens of design iterations, and extensive research, OXO was born. In 1990, the first group of 15 OXO Good Grips kitchen tools was introduced to the U.S. market. These ergonomically-designed, transgenerational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance. Today, OXO offers over 850 products covering many areas of the home. Each was developed based on the concept of Universal Design (also known as Inclusive Design), a philosophy of making products that are usable by as many people as possible. The concept of Universal Design makes room for all users by taking as many needs as possible into consideration in the design process. For OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right-handed and many with special needs. Today, OXO is recognized globally by many prestigious institutions, including Harvard Business School and the Royal College of Arts, as an example of how a well-executed Universal Design philosophy not only creates products that are beneficial to end users but is a sensible business model. OXO products have won numerous design awards and are included in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide. Today, OXO continues to be dedicated to providing innovative solutions that ease everyday tasks. Universal DesignHave you ever seen a single glove on the street and wondered who lost it? We have too. As a reminder of the different hands our products need to comfortably fit - large, small, male, female, young, old and in between, OXO employees collect lost gloves around New York City and around the world. These gloves are prominently displayed at our office. OXO was founded in 1990 on the philosophy of Universal Design, which means the design of products usable by as many people as possible. It is important to note that Universal Design does not mean designing products fully usable by everybody, since there is no product that can truly fulfill the needs of all users. But when all users' needs are taken into consideration in the initial design process, the result is a product that can be used by the broadest spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right-handed and many with special needs. Universal Design can be found everywhere: buildings with access for all instead of a separate entrance for people with disabilities, unisex facilities where men or women have a place to attend to a child's needs, and graphics on signs that can be recognized and understood by anyone, regardless of language. At OXO, living by Universal Design principles gives us an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. The goal of making products more usable forces us to first identify problems and inefficiencies of existing products (including our own), not only in terms of comfort, but performance as well. This gives us the foundation to meet our commitment of making only products that offer tangible improvements. Each year, OXO introduces more than 50 products. Many of these products take more than two years to develop. In fact, a few of the products never make it to the market because they fail to meet the OXO criteria. For OXO, the principles of Universal Design mean a salad spinner that can be used with one hand; liquid measuring cups that can be read from above without bending over; kettles with whistle lids that open automatically when tipped to pour; and tools with pressure-absorbing, non-slip handles that make them more efficient.

By TODD NEUFELDOklahoma City
Dear Editor
Within this past year, Oklahoma has experienced a Spanish language invasion. Our ATM machines are now asking us if we want this in english or Spanish, Walmart and Home Depot are experimenting with bilingual labels, Lowes has put Spanish signs in its store in Claremore, Okal., KAUT43 and KOKH TV 25 have been airing Spanish translation commercials, OETA13 has Spanish shows on for preschoolers, KSBI 52 is going bilingual as well, drivers exams are being given in Spanish, and my childs mathbook has a Spanish glossary in the back of it. I'm fairly certain that if we wanted to live in Mexico, then we would all move to Mexico, including the hispanic population. No one has the right to enter our country illegally, and then invade our homes or our businesses with a foreign language. Despite the fact that an overwhelming percentage of the population opposes this trend, we have a handful of corporations and politicians that seem intent on forcing us to accept it. We don't have to accept anything! Last time I checked, we still run this country, not Mexico.
We have already done more for Mexico, than a lesser nation would have done at great expense to our own economy. What the government doesn't tell you about the unemployment figures, is that it doesn't include the thousands of spouses who have lost their factory jobs, and have chosen to stay home, rather than search for a lower paying minimum wage job.
The real danger here goes far beyond the economic realities. If illegal immigration is allowed to go unchecked, then we will have effectively allowed another country to just walk right in, and turn America into what they want it to be. There will be enormous consequences that most people have not even considered.
1) They will eventually want their own spanish speaking schools. We can barely afford to maintain the schools that we already have.
2) Hispanic kids will have a distinct advantage in getting the higher paying bilingual jobs. Already police departments are paying more for bilingual officers, and passing up for promotion nonbilingual officers. Our kids should not have to learn another countries language in order to get the best jobs in their own country!
3) There is a real possibility that the border states may try to secede from the union someday, if we don't almost completely stop immigration, and Americanize the ones that are here already.
4) Our highway signs will eventually go bilingual.
5) Our kids will begin to grow up thinking that Spanish language and culture is the real America, and we all know that it is not.
Every country has mountains, valleys, fields and streams, but what defines a country is language and culture. We all know that Spanish language and culture is not American, but they are slowly trying to convince us that it is. Our kids will eventually believe this. We all have our heritage, but most of us call ourselves Americans, not Mexican Americans.
Now, the minority of people who see nothing wrong with this, will use the old argument that we are all descended from immigrants. This is true, except for maybe the Native Americans. Immigration was fine in the past when we needed to populate the country and take advantage of its resources, but now it has become a liability. When they start putting Spanish signs in our stores, then its time to take action! Although we have every legal right to deport non citizens, there may be a better way to handle this problem.
Every member of Congress and every governor in the lower 48, now has a plan in their possession to control this problem. This plan does not create a humanitarian crisis in Mexico by sending them all home at the same time, but it does take advantage of a bad situation, and gradually takes control of the problem while helping us economically.
You can see this plan at www.politicalforum.com, look at other political issues, click immigration, click illegal immigration, go to the second page, it is the sixth post down. I would urge you to contact your congressmen over the next several months, and let them know that some version of this plan should be implemented.
If nothing else, then please urge them to enforce our current immigration laws.
If congress still doesn't get the message, then we should launch a taxpayers revolt. This means that no matter who is elected president, if we don't see a plan to eliminate bilingualism, and crack down on illegal immigration within 60 days of taking office, then everyone who owes federal taxes should file an extension and not pay their taxes till something is done.
If the hispanic population decides to try to dissuade Congress by threatening an economic boycott, then we should cancel NAFTA and start massive interior enforcement. We have been far too nice, for far too long, and now look what is happening! We should also automatically vote every member of Congress out of office, regardless of other factors and political affiliation, until they get the message! It seems that they currently care more about the hispanic vote, than they do ours. In a democracy, Congress must listen to the majority. There is no way to make everyone completely happy.
Lastly, it is important to note that this is not a racial issue. African Americans will be at a disadvantage as well, in getting the higher paying bilingual jobs. If Germany was on our border invading our country illegally, and turning America into Germany, then it would be exactly the same problem.

Marijuana Review Reaches Last Stages
Washington (AP) -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says he is in the last stages of reviewing new state laws legalizing recreational use of marijuana in Washington and Colorado.
On Tuesday, Holder told a meeting of state attorneys general that he is examining policy options and international implications of the issue.
According to the AG, he is still in the process of reviewing the initiatives. Marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Holder's assessment could result in the federal government suing the states over the new laws. Alternatively, Holder could decide not to mount a court challenge.
The Justice Department examination has been under way since shortly after last fall's elections.
Washington and Colorado became the first states to pass laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.

larry I live in Reno which is a city in northern nevada...." the biggest little city" that is the nickname for this town.. over 100,000 people...
That is a good thing that you are doing for the troops and for yourself.
If you do come to nevada need to come to Reno which is just a smaller verson of vegas, but vegas does have the bigger casinos and better thing.
Please be careful over there.
Larry glad to hear that your knee is doing great.
thanks for the info.

The Vino EP will feature a first class set of remixes from Rynecologist, NT89 and Borussia. The EP is due to drop on April 10th.
Check out the title track, Vino after the jump!

By Brendan Conway
Money manager and pundit Barry Ritholtz is kicking off this year's Big Picture investing conference with an explanation of why returns aren't what they used to be in the hedge-fund industry: There are too many hedge funds with too much money, chasing too few opportunities.
They key point is that the industry has ballooned from about $120 billion in 1997 to more than $2 trillion this year, and it's not as if investing opportunities have expanded at the same rate.
"Why are we not seeing more returns like the 1990s? First, [the] sheer dilution of talent. In the 1990s, there were a few hundred hedge fund managers [and many were] extremely talented. Today the total pool is almost 10,000," he said.
Moreover, having too much money forces even the most talented managers to shift their strategies, Ritholtz continued. "When you're at a billion or more, you can't do what you were doing at $100 million.
"Essentially, the ability to find these small, little areas of profit simply goes away. You can't move that much money in and out."
Rithotz then tied hedge-fund manager John Paulson's missteps since the financial crisis to … having too much money.
"Paulson, when he bloated up to over $30 billion, at that point he's just a giant macro tourist looking to shoot here or there," Ritholtz said. "He made some bad calls on gold, he just doesn't have an ability at that size."
About the industry broadly once assets scale up too high: "You end up with a lot of closet indexers, with an excessive 2 and 20 attached to it."
Ritholtz didn't spare mutual fund managers, either, with criticisms including the assertion that only 20% outperform in any given year (I'm not sure this jibes precisely with Standard & Poor's SPIVA data, however), and less than half outperform in two of next three. It's the old story about the difficulty predicting what academics call manager "persistence."
A questioner in the audience asks whether Ritholtz is building up to a case for index. Answer: Yes.
"We think people should be a in a broad asset allocation model," Ritholtz said.
Update 9:52 a.m.: Items on mutual funds in paragraph nine added and context throughout. Correction 9:41 a.m.: Barry Ritholtz's last name was misspelled throughout this post, since corrected.

The Cheetahs ran four tries past the Kings on Saturday to claim a convincing 34-22 win in their South African derby in Port Elizabeth.
The Cheetahs ran four tries past the Kings on Saturday to claim a convincing 34-22 win in their South African derby in Port Elizabeth.
The Cheetahs led 13-12 at the interval thanks to a try from centre Johann Sadie on the stroke of half time after the Kings had been in front for most of the first period.
The second half was a different story however as a try from scrum-half Piet van Zyl, a second touchdown from Sadie and one from wing Willie le Roux on the hour mark settled the result.
A late try from Kings replacement scrum-half Nicolas Vergallo added some credibility to the scoreline but it was too little, too late, to save a losing bonus point for the hosts.
With the skilful le Roux a constant threat in the backline, the Cheetahs registered a hard-earned, but decisive victory that keeps them in the hunt for the play-offs.
It was Le Roux who was responsible for unlocking the tight Kings' defence in the last minute of the first half, sending Sadie over for their first try, and then in the 62nd minute, Sadie returned the favour as he made all the running for Le Roux to stroll over for the bonus-point try.
The Cheetahs took a one-point lead into the break, but the Kings, with the inspiring Demetri Catrakilis kicking like a metronome, regained the initiative after he slotted over his fifth penalty soon after the restart. The visitors, however, then took control.
Forcing the Kings to make numerous tackles with a constant attacking approach, and distributing the ball with great control and fluency, the Cheetahs created chances for van Zyl and Sadie, for his second, to cross over for tries.
Fly-half Elgar Watts, who matched Catrakilis's precise goal-kicking, kept the Cheetahs on top by converting all four tries and adding two penalties for a personal tally of 14 points.
After Le Roux scored his try, he left the field with what seemed to be niggling leg injury.
The visitors were made to work hard for their win, but they complemented their attacking strategy with a strong defensive attitude, which they displayed in the last 10 minutes as the Kings tried desperately to close the gap.
They kept out the hosts until the 79th minute when Vergallo scampered over to the joy of the home crowd.
Full-back George Whitehead added the conversion in a pleasing finish for the Kings, but the day's honours belonged indisputably to the high-flying Cheetahs outfit, who bagged their ninth victory of the season.
The scorers:
For the Kings:
Try: Vergallo
Con: Whitehead
Pens: Catrakilis 5
For the Cheetahs:
Tries: Sadie 2, van Zyl, le Roux
