The Emery County Sheriff's Office remembered fallen officer Jeremiah Johnson's family recently by hosting a luncheon in their honor. Sheriff Lamar Guymon presented several medals and awards to Lisa Johnson. He also presented a flag and a check for $2,350 which had been collected at Zions Bank. These donations and contributions were made for the Johnson family who lost their husband and father in a traffic accident on May 29. Sheriff Guymon said, "Nothing I can say will ever make it any better. It makes us think about how fragile lives are and how important friends and family are to us. I found this poem I would like to read, 'Some people come into our lives and quickly go, others come into our lives and leave footprints on our heart and we are never the same. Jeremiah was such a person."
Sheriff Guymon thanked those responsible for putting the luncheon together. He said, "At this Christmas time we need to think about all of those lives effected by this accident; the truck driver and his family and others.
"We send our best wishes to them. In a situation like this, it is easy to forget there were others involved and deeply effected by this tragedy."

Bombing of Dresden--and for what?

I'm extremely greatful that we won the war but, I have never agreed with the bombing of Dresden.

1. to destroy factories and germany's ability to wage war effectively.
2. to demoralize to populace by bombing their cities at will.
War is not made to be noble. War is horible and the final product never looks good.
I think someone posted how they would time the bombing raids to catch firefighting crews fighting fires. Well that is sick but war is sick...and thus this strategicly makes sense. 1. you keep them from putting out fires that will add to the destruction of the bomb target.
2. If they cannot fight fire with their firefighting crews gone then future raids will be more destructive because the fires will consume more.

At some point tactics shifted from focusing on the enemy's military capacity to undermining the "will" of the people of the enemy nation to go on fighting.
To think that the bombing of cities which culminated in the Hamburg and Dresden raids was brought about by an error in targeting by a German Bomber unit which, through navigational error, bombed London by night during the raids which were to have preceeded Operation Sealion. Churchil insisted on bombing Berlin in retaliation. Hitler replied in kind, shifting the emphasis of the raids on England to the destruction of cities, and a holocaust of another sort was wrought....

Yes but the same could be said of London, Rotterdam, or Warsaw. Again, war is a horrendous thing in which there is nothing but loss. Schultz, sorry to hear of yours.

Thanks for the sorrow for my relatives. I just wish than no one else had to lose so many family members as I did. I know there are many who lost way more than my family. I guess at least they were the only family members in Germany to get killed.

At one time though, Dresden did have Artillery units employed to protect the city. As the was dragged on and the losses mounted, what was Dresdens defense, had become replacements for depleted or destroyed units in the east.

But 'Dresden' has become synonymous with 'Harris' as though this raid was some kind of maverick decision, prompted by personal bloodlust.
The reality is far more complex. It has been conclusively adjudged by recent historians ( eg Martin Gilbert, Henry Probert ) that the prime mover for this particular attack was Winston Churchill ( vide his infamous 'baste the Germans' memorandum of 25 Jan 45 ). The directive was queried by Harris' headquarters : Dresden was a long way to fly in winter and nothing was known about the defences.
The fate of Dresden was sealed at the Yalta conference on February 4th. Forcibly backed by Stalin in person, General Antonov insisted on Allied air attacks against Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig to hamper possible German troop movements to the East. Churchill agreed, and SHAEF ratified the order to Bomber Command.
On February 13th, weather conditions 'favoured' Dresden . . . .

TV docu-producers in particular seem to love being 'selective' about their sources ( bit like David Irving, really ), or just plain lazy about research.
The Dresden episode in fact paints Churchill in a very poor light indeed.
What actually happened ? As per my posting above, Churchill issued the 'baste the Germans' memo. Sinclair, the Secretary of State for air, replied that these Eastern German cities could be left to the Russian Tactical airforces, with Allied attacks 'under consideration'. Churchill fired a furious and sarcastic memo back demanding immediate action.
'With the Prime Minister obviously on the warpath, events moved quickly' says official RAF historian, Denis Richards.
After the raid, an American Associated Press correspondent at SHAEF misrepresented an official comment, with US headlines appearing reading : 'Deliberate Terror-Bombing of German Population Centres As Ruthless Expedient Of Hastening Hitler's Doom'.
Six weeks after the raid, with the end of the war imminent, Churchill sent a minute to the Chiefs of Staff saying : -
'It seems to me that the moment has come when the question of bombing German cities for the sake of increasing the terror...should be reviewed....The destruction of Dresden remains a serious query against the conduct of Allied bombing....'
'Coming from one whose eagerness to bomb cities in Eastern Germany had precipitated the attacks, this startled and shocked the Chiefs of Staff' ( Richards ).
Portal persuaded Churchill to withdraw the minute ( no mean feat ! ) and reissue a less contentious note. But the 'original' remained on file and has been exhumed post-war and misused time and again out of context to 'prove' that Dresden was 'nothing to do with Churchill'.
This is now widely recognized as not being Churchill's 'Finest Hour'. But don't forget, he was first and foremost a politician . . . . .
Post war, of course, bombing was not considered 'PC'. Harris was snubbed after the war ( but remained unrepentant to the end ) and the bomber crews, feted as heroes during the war, have been officially shunned ever since.
Posted 17 July 2002 - 09:06 PM
They mentioned this memo, ad its withdrawel. But they said nothing of what went on before. Its really annying that these things cannot get things right. People like us always have others to check things with or set things straight. We know better than to take one programe at face value. But most people who don't take such an interest as we do just except it as fact.

Let's get this party started! The Grant County Relay For Life will hold a kickoff party from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 25 at the Grant County Extension Office on Baton Rouge Road in Williamstown.
The relay is the signature fund raising event for the American Cancer Society. Money is used for programs and research. The kickoff event is open to business owners, team captains, cancer survivors or those just wanting more information about the relay.
For more information on how to get involved, call 824-3343 or 1-800-ACS-2345.
In its first year in existence, the Grant County 4-H Robotics team has excelled beyond expectation. On Dec. 5. the Grant Gear Grinders won second place honors competing against 23 teams at the First Lego League Robotics Regional Competition at Twenhofel Middle School in Independence, which qualified them to go on to the state competition at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green on Jan. 9, where they ranked eighth place out of 42 teams.
Missed school days have caused a shift in the calendars for Grant County and Williamstown school districts.
Each district missed three days because of snow Jan. 5, Jan. 6 and Jan. 8, but the plans to deal with the make-up days are not the same.
Students at Grant County Schools originally were scheduled to have their last day of classes Wednesday, May 19.
The final day for students now will be Monday, May 24, unless more days are missed.
However, Williamstown Independent Schools are not adding days to the end of their calendar.
The trial of a Crittenden man accused of killing his girlfriend's baby began yesterday (Jan. 20) in Grant Circuit Court.
Douglas Barnhill, 24, was indicted Feb. 11, 2009, for the murder of 13-month-old Kiara Smith, who was left in his care while her mother was at a family funeral.
Barnhill has remained lodged in the Grant County Detention Center since his arrest on Feb. 11. Before his arrest, he operated an indoor flea market on Main Street.
For the second consecutive summer, Kentucky Changers will help beautify Grant County.
An organization sponsored by the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Kentucky Changers uses seventh through 12th graders to refurbish exteriors of homes.
For the first time in its 16 seasons, the project came to Grant County July 4-11, 2009 with support from the Crittenden Baptist Association.
About 150 youth — 30 from Knoxville Baptist and Mount Carmel churches— worked at 30 sites in Grant County.
The Youth Performance Award winner for January is Cody Rose Durr, a senior at Grant County High School.
Durr, 17, is the daughter of Douglas and Charla Durr of Dry Ridge.
She has three brothers, Andrew, 14, an eighth grader at Grant County Middle School, Chad, 21, who attends Northern Kentucky University and DeWayne, a bus driver for Kenton County Schools.
That's how WHS senior Storm Mason describes the Demons loss to Walton-Verona in the All A regional semifinals.
The Demons held a six-point lead over Walton-Verona heading into the fourth quarter of their All A regional semifinal game. Williamstown was unable to hold onto their lead, eventually falling 50-48 on Jan. 22. With a win against Gallatin County, Walton-Verona won the All A regional championship.
Undefeated season, done. Unblemished SEC record, gone. A #1 ranking that lasted less than a day and a half, over. And all because of a phone call from Barack Obama, why does he have to ruin everything? Just joking Mr. President, not even an executive order from you to arrest Devan Downey could have helped Kentucky on this night. Actually that might have worked. It's ok, we know you're busy.

Deputy Scott Conrad charged a 16-year-old Dry Ridge juvenile with possession of marijuana, at 8 p.m. Jan. 18 on Blackburn Lane. The juvenile was released to a parent.
Sgt. Dennis Switzer executed a Kenton County warrant for Leo V. Faust, 19, of Crittenden, at 4:55 p.m. Jan. 19. Faust was lodged at the Grant County Detention Center.
Alleen Wells Ducker, of Williamstown, formerly of Pendleton County, will celebrate her 95th birthday on Jan. 27.
In 1947, she married Russell Ducker, who died in 1963. They raised two nephews, Clyde and Donald Ray Wells, sons of her twin brother, James Newton Wells and Catherine Davenport Wells. They later adopted Don, who, at that time, was attending Morgan School in Pendleton County.

Under the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Internal Revenue Code (IRC) NANAINA is a federal income tax exempt organization under IRC 501 (c) (3) and has been designated by the IRS as a public charity.
Donors can deduct contributions they make under IRC Section 170.
The National Alaska Native American Indian Nurses Association (NANAINA)
Welcome to our website. NANAINA is a committed group of persons from every corner of the country, dedicated to the health and well-being of the American Indian and Alaska Native people. Some of us are ourselves American Indian, Alaska Native, some not. We are nurses, non-nurses, serving or not in communities and programs for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Regardless, we hope you will join us in our cause, our endeavors to raise the health of our people and to advance our profession.
NANAINA VISION: NANAINA exemplifies excellence in nursing through outreach, self-determination, and research by using traditions and innovation to achieve health equity.
NANAINA MISSION: NANAINA unites American Indian/ Alaska Native (AI/AN) nurses and those who care for AN/AI people to improve the health and well-being of AI/AN people.
NANAINA VALUES: Integrity, respect and spirituality will guide NANAINA throughout the generations.
The purposes of NANAINA shall be to—
- Promote optimal health among AN/AI people.
- Serve the professional needs of AN/AI consumers.
- Provide a forum for AN/AI nurses to analyze and evaluate the health care needs of AN/AI people.
- Cooperate lawfully with other professional associations, health care organizations and governmental entities in matters affecting the purposes of NANAINA.

- Provide opportunities for all AN/AI nurses to share information about their professional concerns and experiences.
- Formulate position statements on AN/AI issues of professional practice and to advocate for professional advancement of AN/AI nurses.
- Promote leadership and professional advancement to AN/AI nurses.
NANAINA is founded upon its predecessor organization, American Indian Nurses Association (AINA), later called American Indian Alaska Native Nurses Association (AIANNA), which disbanded in 1984 with approximately two thousand members. Since that time, small chapters and groups of American Indian Nurses have continued to promote and support Alaska Native American Indian (AN/AI) students, nurses, and allied health professionals. This has been accomplished through the development of leadership skills, continuing education, and advocacy for improved health care through culturally competent health care to AN/AI consumers.
The current organization, NANAINA, was born at a 1993 North Dakota gathering of nurse leaders from around the country. Their desire was to "rekindle the spirit" and "reconnect the circle" thereby re-establishing an organization that would represent AN/AI nurses as well as work to improve the health care services to AN/AI peoples.

Disappointing for New Balance
"I have two other pairs of New Balance and really thought these would be great. I wore them for a short run, just a few miles and by the time it was over, my right big toe was screaming. I could feel it hitting the inner part of the toebox the entire time, so I'm assuming they were too narrow and possibly too short. So, back they went."

A gourmet presentation you can easily achieve! The sweet teriyaki sauce and crunchy sesame seeds add a really nice twist to the salmon. The flavored noodles are a tasty and elegant serving idea.
- 4 appetizer-sized fillets of salmon (skin removed) (6 oz each) -
- 1 cup honey teriyaki sauce -
- 1 cup sesame seeds -
- 3 Tbsp oil -
- 1 pkg (10 oz) cappellini noodles -
- 1 tsp olive oil -
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil -
- 2 tsp soy sauce -
- ½ tsp black pepper -
- ½ tsp kosher salt -
- ¼ tsp honey -
1. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Marinate salmon in honey teriyaki sauce for half an hour in the refrigerator.
2. Roll each piece of marinated salmon in sesame seeds to coat all sides.
3. Preheat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Place salmon in pan. Let cook for about 4 minutes on one side. Turn salmon over and cook about 3 minutes more.
(You can test for readiness by inserting a fork into the center of one piece. If the fish flakes, it is ready.) Place on paper towelto absorb excess oil.
4. Meanwhile, cook capellini according to package directions, adding 1 teaspoon olive oil to the water. Drain and rinse. Add remaining ingredients to pasta and toss.
5. Place a small mound of noodles on the center of each plate and top with a piece of sesame salmon. Serve at room temperature.
NOTE: For a pretty presentation I substiute about 1⁄3 of the sesame seeds with black sesame seeds.

ZFS is going to save my laptop data next time
By User13277689-Oracle on Apr 03, 2008
The flashback is still alive even weeks after: the day before my presentation at FIRST Technical
Colloquium in Prague I brought my 2 years old laptop with the work-in-progress slides to the office.
Since I wanted to finish the slides in the evening a live-upgrade
process was fired off on the laptop to get fresh Nevada
version. (of course, to show off during the presentation ;))
LU is very I/O intensive process and the red Ferrari notebooks tend to get _very_ hot. In the afternoon I noticed that the process failed. To my astonishment, the I/O operations started to fail. After couple of reboots (and zpool status / fmadm faulty commands) it was obvious that the disk cannot be trusted anymore. I was able to rescue some data from the ZFS pool which was spanning the biggest slice of the internal disk but not all data. (ZFS is not willing to get corrupted data out.) My slides were lost as well as other data.
After some time I stumbled upon James Gosling's
blog entry about ZFS mirroring on laptop.
This get me started (or more precisely I was astonished and wondered how is it possible
that this idea escaped me because at that time ZFS had been in Nevada for a long time)
and I have discovered several similar and more
blog entries about the topic.
After some experiments with borrowed USB disk it was time to make it reality on a new laptop.
The process was a multi-step one:
First I had to extend the free slice #7 on the internal disk so it spans the remaining space
on the disk because it was trimmed after the experiments. In the end the slices look like this
in format(1) output:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 3 - 1277 9.77GB (1275/0/0) 20482875 1 unassigned wm 1278 - 2552 9.77GB (1275/0/0) 20482875 2 backup wm 0 - 19442 148.94GB (19443/0/0) 312351795 3 swap wu 2553 - 3124 4.38GB (572/0/0) 9189180 4 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 home wm 3125 - 19442 125.00GB (16318/0/0) 262148670 8 boot wu 0 - 0 7.84MB (1/0/0) 16065 9 alternates wu 1 - 2 15.69MB (2/0/0) 32130
Then the USB drive was connected to the system and recognized via format(1):
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0d0
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@12/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 1. c5t0d0 /pci@0,0/pci1025,10a@13,2/storage@4/disk@0,0
- Live upgrade boot environment which was not active was deleted via ludelete(1M) and the slice was commented out in /etc/vfstab. This was needed to make zpool(1M) happy.
ZFS pool was created out of the slice on the internal disk (c0d0s7) and external
USB disk (c5t0d0). I had to force it cause zpool(1M) complained about the overlap
of c0d0s2 (slice spanning the whole disk) and c0d0s7:
# zpool create -f data mirror c0d0s7 c5t0d0For a while I have struggled with finding a name for the pool (everybody seems either to stick to the 'tank' name or come up with some double-cool-stylish name which I wanted to avoid because of the likely degradation of the excitement from that name) but then chosen the ordinary data (it's what it is, after all).
- I have verified that it is possible to disconnect the USB disk
and safely connect it while an I/O operation is in progress:
root:moose:/data# mkfile 10g /data/test & [1] 10933 root:moose:/data# zpool status pool: data state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM data ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror ONLINE 0 0 0 c0d0s7 ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errorsIt survived it without a hitch (okay, I had to wait for the zpool command to complete a little bit longer due to the still ongoing I/O but that was it) and resynced the contents automatically after the USB disk was reconnected:
root:moose:/data# zpool status pool: data state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state. action: Replace the faulted device, or use 'zpool clear' to mark the device repaired. scrub: resilver in progress for 0h0m, 3.22% done, 0h5m to go config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM data DEGRADED 0 0 0 mirror DEGRADED 0 0 0 c0d0s7 ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t0d0 FAULTED 0 0 0 too many errors errors: No known data errorsAlso, with heavy I/O it is needed to mark the zpool as clear after the resilver completes via zpool clear data because the USB drive is marked as faulty. Normally this will not happen (unless the drive really failed) because I will be connecting and disconnecting the drive only when powering on or shutting down the laptop, respectively.
- After that I have used
Mark Shellenbaum's
blog entry
about ZFS delegated administration (it was Mark who did
the integration)
and ZFS Delegated Administration
chapter from OpenSolaris
ZFS Administration Guide and created permissions set for my local user and assigned
those permissions to the ZFS pool 'data' and the user:
# chmod A+user:vk:add_subdirectory:fd:allow /data # zfs allow -s @major_perms clone,create,destroy,mount,snapshot data # zfs allow -s @major_perms send,receive,share,rename,rollback,promote data # zfs allow -s @major_props copies,compression,quota,reservation data # zfs allow -s @major_props snapdir,sharenfs data # zfs allow vk @major_perms,@major_props dataAll of the commands had to be done under root.
- Now the user is able to create a home directory for himself:
$ zfs create data/vk
- Time to setup the environment of data sets and prepare it for data.
I have separated the data sets according to a 'service level'. Some data are very
important (e.g. presentations ;)) to me so I want them multiplied via the
ditto blocks
mechanism so they are actually present 4 times in case of copies dataset
property set to 2. Also, documents are not usually accompanied by executable
code so the exec property was set to off which will prevent
running scripts or programs from that dataset.
Some data are volatile and in high quantity so they do not need any additional protection and it is good idea to compress them with better compression algorithm to save some space. The following table summarizes the setup:
dataset properties comment +-------------------+--------------------------------+------------------------+ | data/vk/Documents | copies=2 | presentations | | data/vk/Saved | compression=on exec=off | stuff from web | | data/vk/DVDs | compression=gzip-8 exec=off | Nevada ISOs for LU | | data/vk/CRs | compression=on copies=2 | precious source code ! | +-------------------+--------------------------------+------------------------+So the commands will be:
$ zfs create -o copies=2 data/vk/Documents $ zfs create -o compression=gzip-3 -o exec=off data/vk/Saved ...
- Now it is possible to migrate all the data, change home directory of the user to /data/vk (e.g. via /usr/ucb/vipw) and relogin.
However, this is not the end of it but just beginning. There are many things to make the setup even better, to name a few:
- setup some sort of automatic snapshots for selected datasets
The set of scripts and SMF service for doing ZFS snapshots and backup (see ZFS Automatic For The People and related blog entries) made by Tim Foster could be used for this task.
- make zpool scrub run periodically
- detect failures of the disks
This would be ideal to see in Gnome panel or Gnome system monitor.
- setup off-site backup via
SunSSH + zfs send
This could be done using the hooks provided by Tim's scripts (see above).
- Set quotas and reservations for some of the datasets.
- Install ZFS scripts for Gnome nautilus so I will be able to browse, perform and destroy snapshots in nautilus. Now which set of scripts to use ? Chris Gerhard's or Tim Foster's ? Or should I just wait for the official ZFS support for nautilus to be integrated ?
- Find how exactly will the recovery scenario (in case of laptop drive failure) will look like.
To import the ZFS pool from the USB disk should suffice but during my experiments I was not able to complete it successfully.
With all the above the data should be safe from disk failure (after all disks are often called "spinning rust" so they are going to fail sooner or later) and also the event of loss of both laptop and USB disk.
Lastly, a philosophical thought: One of my colleagues considers hardware as a necessary (and very faulty) layer which is only needed to make it possible to express the ideas in software. This might seem extreme but come to think of it. ZFS is special in this sense - being a software which provides that bridge, it's core idea to isolate the hardware faults.

Turn Off The Lights. The Season Is Over.
Jonathan Willis
October 05 2013 11:29PM
Based on the reaction to tonight's game on Twitter, I've arrived at an inescapable conclusion: the season is over. Thanks, Craig MacTavish, for trying to fix the Oilers, but now you need to go back to the drawing board. The good news is that you have just under 12 months to completely overhaul the team before the 2014-15 season starts.
In All Seriousness
Devan Dubnyk has now had two very bad games. It's fair to note that, it's fair to say that he needs to be better, and it's fair to be concerned about what happens next. What's crazy is writing him off after two bad games.
If the last 20 years of NHL history have shown us anything, it's that people judging goalies based on their short-term results are going to be burned very, very badly. Brian Boucher has the NHL record for the longest consecutive minutes without allowing a goal - longer than Patrick Roy or Dominik Hasek or Martin Brodeur. He didn't do it during a good run, either - the record came in Phoenix, where Boucher was (outside of those five games) miserable for two and a half years.
Oilers fans can probably recall something similar - Jeff Deslauriers' miracle run in 2009-10. He went 5-0 on a five-game road trip, posting a 0.938 save percentage. He posted a 0.895 save percentage the rest of the way. Last year, he was a 0.902 save percentage goalie in the ECHL.
It works the other way, too. Henrik Lundqvist is one of the best goalies in the game - a guy with a far better track record than Dubnyk - and through two games with New York last year he had a 0.865 save percentage.
These runs happen. They're basically meaningless.
While judging individuals like Dubnyk or Taylor Hall - playing out of position - over a pair of games is foolhardy, that doesn't mean it's too early to say a few things.
For one, Vancouver's casual dominance in almost every category stands out. The Canucks out-shot Edmonton 44-to-23, and when the game was still in question the ratio was 22-to-8. If it was close, we might say things like 'it was close' and 'the Canucks are a good team.' But when one club ragdolls another like that, it seems reasonably clear that what's going on right now isn't working and isn't likely to work.
Dallas Eakins has time - I'm not sure Twitter knows this, but there's something like 80 games left in the season - and on Monday he gets Ryan Nugent-Hopkins back. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Recently by Jonathan Willis
Having more hits is generally a sign you don't have the puck - that's why hitting actually has a slight correlation with losing games.
Bit of a selective response there.
October 06 2013, 01:33PM
I think that Eakin;s "SWARM", has come back and bit him in the butt. I mean what the heck was happening on the ice. Looked like organized confusion.The puck possession certainly didn't work last night, because it means "hard on the puck" .. at all times, which was not the case with our skating ballerina's.Kids, your not in the Jr. hockey leagues anymore.
Bad coaching and poor management, of these number one picks was on display last night.
Sorry but Arcabello , Acton, is not the answer for an NHL team.
Yes Doobie has let in soft goals. This is bound to happen with so many shots faced, and so much time spent in your own end. People either don't know or forget that Doobie has recently had to shorten his pads by 3" each pad. This opens up an extra six inch's of net he isn't use to having exposed. He has also had to go to a stick with a smaller paddle. These changes may not seem huge but they change the way he has to play. He is not use to the equipment changes yet. Package this with soft play from the defense and turn overs galore, it's no wonder they are losing. Let's not crucify Doobie just yet, give him time to adjust to the changes. When we have our top two centers healthy and back to game form, things will improve. It may be hard to crawl out of the hole they will find themselves in. I think Mac T had to find an answer this summer. If he were smart he should have made a big push for Jokinen when he was available!! Look at the game play he started his season out with. Mac T missed the bus on that one. He also should have made some bigger pushes for more skilled gritty players not enforcers after the fact.
October 06 2013, 06:00PM
Jonathan, the Canucks did not dominate every category, both faceoffs and hits were more for the Oilers. And yet the team was never in the game.
How the Oilers won the hit battle is beyond comprehension. I saw how the Canucks literally skated around in the Edmonton end of the ice. I don't recall one of them being knocked off balance, let alone on their keesters.
How can you outhit someone when you don't throw a hit? Oh, yeah, Mike Brown and co in the O-zone, I guess. But the team as a whole never laid a lick on a Canuck inside the Oil blueline. Oh, they bumped people a couple of times. But they never eliminated anyone, never pinned someone on the boards, never 'took a man' and took care of business. It was atrocious.
October 06 2013, 07:40PM
If a goalie sees a shooter and has the time to get set and put his body in front of the puck, he must stop it. That is what he is paid to do. He is a professional goaltender. If he wants to play in the best league, as a starter, he better do a hell of a lot more than that. He better stop the ones he doesn't get a clear look at. He is not there mentally. If he isn't the problem, fire Freddy Chabot, because the job is not getting done.
I personally believe this is THE telltale year for Dubnyk, but I also believe we have to give him at least half the year before we pass any kind of final judgment. And make no mistake, that's the tone of most discussion around Dubnyk, that this is somehow his 'epitaph' being written.
I've heard a lot of Dubnyk bashing lately, but at least these comments are fair; as a pro, he has to make those stops, simple as that. And, it DOES seem Dubnyk is mentally unprepared. Yet, I would advocate that he has a strong mental capacity. Smart guy. Well spoken. Calm. Comfortable in his own skin.
I think it's almost an anomaly we're witnessing here, and that the meltdown is due to him preparing for the season with thoughts of having to be the difference, of this being his last chance, etc. Thoughts that put stress on the player, and cause him to do precisely what he wanted to avoid. I still think the guy is mentally strong, and can bounce back from this. Maybe better than ever, letting it be a lesson learned. But it'll be interesting watching, one way or the other, and I'll just add that I'm pulling for him.
October 06 2013, 08:17PM
I know....have patience.This is getting very old and embarassing.
Don't be too embarrassed. Give them 8+ games (10%) to figure out what they're going to be. Then talk of being embarrassed. If they shellac New Jersey next game, are we to plan the parade route?
Not trying to single you out, I'm just blown away by the massive swings in emotion over single, solitary games.
It's the START of an 82-game season, after an off-season of massive change at ALL levels. Let's give it some time, folks, before we jump off any bridges.
Hell, I still think this season's going to be a blast. Hall, RNH, Yakupov, Eberle, Perron, Hemsky, Schultz, those 7 guys alone are going to be so much fun to watch once they find their collective game. The entertainment's going to be there, no matter how bad the record. Maybe we can relax a bit in knowing that. The wins? That's obviously up for debate. Could - and often does - ride on a few highly-touted players learning to dominate hockey games. I believe that's what this is really about. All of the Dubnyk, Ference, Eakins talk....is moot, and the real pressure falls to we all know where. The rest of the club will jump on those coattails fast, and the momentum will build, if our most talented players deliver.
Sure, I'm watching Dubnyk, and Eakins, and Ference, and so on, but what I'm really watching FOR is that really, really big 'if' I just spoke of.
October 06 2013, 08:31PM
I don't think MacT decided to fill the goaltending position "from within". I remember him making a push for Schneider before NJ swiped him. This isn't fantasy hockey. You don't just get to pick players you want. Not only do you have to come up with a package the other team agrees to but you also have to beat out all the other offers that you don't necessarily know they have. Not as easy as you allude to in your posting. McT has tried to fill the spot with candidates outside the organization but when the well went dry and Dubnyk was the best option left he did the right thing and threw his support behind him. Lamar brad (sp) looked decent in relief so let's start him next game and see what he can do.
Well said. Was in on Bernier, too, apparently. But, the armchair makes it look easy. I think the spelling you are looking for was, Labarberra.
October 07 2013, 08:28AM
As much as people are piling on Smyth and Schultz (both were done as effective every day players 2 - 3 years ago IMHO), the team was set up to rely on Hall, Eberle, Nuge, Yakupov, Gagner, JSchultz and so far they are struggling to find their games.
One thing that is a concern, though, is the lack of defensive awareness and effort from the young guys thus far. They go hard on offense, and float on defense. Look at the effort levels on the first goal the Nucks scored shorthanded yesterday. Hemsky's pass from the corner was anticipated by Hansen and he picked it off. J Schultz is slow to react and they chip it past him. Yakupov is out of position on the other point, who knows where. Hall is 15 feet away standing still and watching the play as the Nucks chip it out and take off. Hemsky takes off from the corner and almost catches up, beating both JSchultz and Hall back, both of whom had a 15-20 foot head start on him. Hall could have easily caught up to pressure/ride out the Vancouver goal scorer, but he stands and watches as if he does not care/it is someone else's job to do.
Two games in I have noticed the same pattern with the young guys - nobody is paying any attention to defensive details. It is fine to play a pressure/possession game, but as Detroit has shown you need to put the same effort in on defense as you do with offense. Two games in, the skill forward that has done this the best is.......Hemsky. If the coaching staff can't get the young guns to buy into this then it will be a long season as our defense is not good enough to be left on its own.
Total props to this statement, the truth is in the pudding....or something like that.
October 07 2013, 08:31AM
Having more hits is generally a sign you don't have the puck - that's why hitting actually has a slight correlation with losing games.
Funny, I don't remember that many "hits" in that game, unless they're counting fluffy board rubs as hits...especially in our own zone.
October 07 2013, 10:42AM
We don't need a marathon runner for a coach.Wheel Scotty Bowman in with a wheelchare.idk.Who is picking these coaches.The last 2 could be public speakers or politicans but have no head coaching experience in the NHL. Eakins obviously feels Yak,Nuge,Ebbs and Hallsie need to be put in their place but he has picked the wrong place.They need confidence !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"So far, the most comfortable shoe I have put on. I use them at work which i am on my feet all day. I have a second pair for when I have dart tournaments or league, which again you need a comfortable shoe since you stand a lot during that activity.Once my work Asics have worn out, I buy another pair for my darting and use the old ones for my new work shoe and they are just as comfortable.5 stars, not enough to rate this"

If you're like most adults, caffeine is a part of your daily routine. But do you know the caffeine content of your favorite drink?
You may want to take a look at just how much caffeine you get in a typical day, especially if you're bothered by headaches, restlessness or anxiety. If your caffeine habit totals more than 500 milligrams (mg) a day, you may want to consider cutting back.
With the growing popularity of energy drinks, many parents have become concerned about how much caffeine their kids are getting. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that adolescents get no more than 100 mg of caffeine a day. Younger children shouldn't drink caffeinated beverages on a regular basis.
Check the charts below to see the caffeine content in popular drinks, sweets and medications. One note about the numbers: Use them as a guide. The actual caffeine content of the same coffee drink can vary from day to day — even at the same coffee shop — because of various factors, such as roasting and grinding as well as brewing time. The caffeine content of tea also is affected by how long it's brewed.

Doctors Save Baby's Life With Temporary 3D-Printed Bronchus
Jason Mick
May 24, 2013 11:49 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Printed tissue will be repopulated with healthy tissue, will dissolve within two to three years
Amidst the controversy over
3D printing
gun control
, it's important to remember that the potential of the former device goes
far beyond making weapons
I. Baby Blues
That's the story of a baby Kaiba, who suffered from a rare disease called tracheobronchomalacia. Often misdiagnosed as asthma, the disease in some cases isn't as severe, outgrown by age 2 or 3. But in Kaiba's case the disease was more severe; while 1 in 2,200 babies (appr.) have the lesser form, only around 1 in 20,000 have the more serious version he had.
Kaiba's parents April and Bryan first detected the condition when he was six-weeks old. They were enjoying a meal at a restaurant when their watchful eyes noticed their child was struggling to breathe and turning blue. They rushed him to a hospital.
For the next several weeks baby Kaiba continued to stop breathing and turn blue requiring resuscitation. With his bronchus -- part of
the lung's air-tubing system
-- collapsing regularly, his chances looked bleak. Recalls April, "Quite a few doctors said he had a good chance of not leaving the hospital alive. At that point, we were desperate. Anything that would work, we would take it and run with it."
The Ohio family took their baby to the
University of Michigan
Mott Children's Hospital
to explore an advanced treatment option.
Mott's Children Hospital, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Glenn Green
, M.D., an associate professor of
pediatric otolaryngology at the school
, who helped treat him. He comments, "Severe tracheobronchomalacia has been a condition that has bothered me for years. I've seen children die from it. Even with the best treatments available, he continued to have these episodes. He was imminently going to die. The physician treating him in Ohio knew there was no other option, other than our device in development here."
II. Printing a New Bronchus
The "device" in question was a 3D-printed organ formed from a biocompatible polymer known as polycaprolactone (PCL). PCL is growing in popularity in tissue engineering studies as it is generally gentle on the body and dissolves within two to three years -- providing structural support while the body recolonizes a damaged tissue.
Polycaprolactone is produced from caprolactone, a cyclic compound found in heated milk fat.

Scott Hollister
, Ph.D., professor of
biomedical engineering
and mechanical engineering and associate professor of surgery at U-M comments, "The material we used is a nice choice for this. It takes about two to three years for the trachea to remodel and grow into a healthy state, and that's about how long this material will take to dissolve into the body."
Normally implanting a PCL 3D-printed organ in the U.S. would be illegal -- even if it had the potential to save a life -- due to the convoluted mess of bureaucracy and red tape that is the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
. But Kaiba's parents took their child to the right place; U-of-M had close relationships with federal regulators, which allowed them to obtain an emergency exemption to test a bronchus implant on Kaiba.
The printed 3D bronchus implant [Image Source: U-of-M]
The implant was a resounding success. Fashioned from CT scans of the baby's own bronchus and sculpted by lasers in the 3D printer, the new tissue was sewn into place without complications. Recalls Dr. Green, "It was amazing. As soon as the splint was put in, the lungs started going up and down for the first time and we knew he was going to be OK."
Within 21 days the youngster was off ventilation and breathing in sweet air thanks to his groundbreaking new implant. He's had no breathing problems since, and is expected to grow a healthy bronchus, making a transition into healthy adolescence.
III. PCL Promising for Other Tissue Replacements
The case was so astounding that the doctors
[PDF] a peer-reviewed article on it in the top medical journal
New England Journal of Medicine
. Dr. Hollister
, "Kaiba's case is definitely the highlight of my career so far. To actually build something that a surgeon can use to save a person's life? It's a tremendous feeling."
Drs. Green and Hollister are racing to apply 3D printed PCL structures to other forms of soft-tissue recovery including ear and nose structures, which are in preclinical model trials. They also are examining using the biopolymer
in bone structures
(spine, craniofacial and long bone).
PCL is being explored to replace other soft tissues like nose cartilage.
[Image Source: MakeCoconut]
And interesting side note -- in a way this is a case of "patient heal thyself". The monomer precursor to PCL (polycaprolactone) is founded in heated mammalian milk fat and is polymerized via a ring opening process. Hence a product of a biochemical found in humans and other mammals is now being applied via advanced technology to saving human life.

I was curious to see what libraries who had already turned on timeline was doing, so I decided a totally unscientific search for libraries on Facebook. I ended up with 183 so far (no doubt there are more) and I posted them on my Pinterest board.
Basically I saw the following types of Facebook cover photos
- External building shots
- Interior shots without people prominent
- Interior shots with people front and center
- Book shots
- Photo collage
- Others (events. memes etc)
These were pretty popular, I suppose because they are easy to find? Some examples
Standard building shot

Staff photo
While there are cover photos of library staff at the desk (see below for one example) far fewer group photos of staff
I found only 2 group photos, here is one
Yet another group shot, not sure if is of library staff
4. Book shots
Librarians loves books, so quite a few shots of books, books-shelves and computers
5. Photo collages
These tend to be very rare and in my opinion generally don't work out as well as having one sprawling picture. Here's are some that are not too bad in my view
For library systems with many locations photo collages can be used for different libraries
6. Others
There are other creative ways one can use the cover photo. Some examples
Using memes?
Hey it's the Ryan Gosling meme!
Marketing for events?
Facebook has strict rules governing the rules for cover photos. You are not supposed to add
"Contact information, such as web address, email, mailing address or other information intended for your Page's About section" and "calls to actions". Unfortunately I have noticed two libraries that may have broken this rule, one has email , phone number and opening hours, while another has opening hours. I decided not to link to those pages for obvious reasons.
I *think* it's okay to advertise events? No sure if it counts as calls to action, probably not.
Celebrity endorsement?
Quite a few have pictures of flowers and plants not quite sure significance (state flower?)
Some item in the library archives?
Library stuff
Others I can't even classify
Quite a collection of images and this is but part of those I saw. Which ones are your favourites? Personally I find the ones with the kids are so adorable.
Anyway, I hope this survey of Facebook cover photos will give you some inspiration or ideas on what photo to use for your Facebook page.

Midseason Awards, Part II: The Norris and the Selke
Jonathan Willis
January 18 2012 01:13PM
As the NHL moves past the midway mark of the season, it's time to look back at which players deserve hardware, based on their performance over the first half. To answer that question, we polled writers from across the Nation Network, talking to writers at every site.
Today, we look at the second set of our midseason awards: our picks for the winners of the Norris and Selke trophies.
James Norris Memorial Trophy
Description: The James Norris Memorial Trophy is an annual award given to the defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position.
Winner: Zdeno Chara
Runners-Up: Shea Weber, Nicklas Lidstrom
This was one of the tightest races for the writers we polled, with Zdeno Chara just barely squeaking past Shea Weber for the top honours at the midpoint of the season. These two players rather clearly represented the best defenders in the NHL in the opinion of our writers, with Weber receiving four times the votes of the third-place Lidstrom (who narrowly edged out some other defensemen listed below).
Chara won his first Norris Trophy in 2008-09, and has once again been instrumental in the Bruins success this season. As it stands now, he's on pace to set career highs in assists, total points, and plus/minus, all while combining a take no prisoners style with a 6'9" frame. He's one of the most imposing defensive rearguards in the league, and over the last decade has also been one of the NHL's better offensive weapons on the blue line.
Of course, Shea Weber's been pretty good in his own right. Jason Gregor, one of those who had Weber first overall in his voting, said that Weber has "no real weaknesses in his game, and he's absolutely right. Even missing time to a concussion hasn't led to a reduction of his duties; in his first game back Weber played more than 25 minutes and has been in that range pretty consistently since. As it stands, he's likely to put up career highs offensively and like Chara he plays against the best opposition.
The rest of the field features former winners in Lidstrom and Duncan Keith, the NHL's leading defensive scorer in Erik Karlsson, Toronto Maple Leafs' captain Dion Phaneuf, and Weber's frequent defensive partner in Nashville, Ryan Suter.
Also in the mix: Erik Karlsson, Dion Phaneuf, Duncan Keith, Ryan Suter
Frank J. Selke Trophy
Description: The Frank J. Selke Trophy is an annual award given to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game.
Winner: David Backes
Runners-Up: Patrice Bergeron, Pavel Datsyuk
A swell of support for David Backes, who has been instrumental in the St. Louis Blues return to respectability, moved him past a pair of very strong candidates in Bergeron and Datsyuk. Backes, as is fitting for someone winning this award, plays against the best opposition and starts more in his own end than in the offensive zone. He has also been one of the Blues' regular penalty-killers and his physical style of play surely didn't hurt him either. As Jason Gregor said in his comments on the vote, Backes "doesn't have the same name recognition as Datsyuk or Toews, but he's big, strong, and nasty and he wins lots of one-on-one battles."
Pavel Datsyuk is a three-time winner and is doing the same things he's always done (as Gregor put it, "he is unreal all over the ice") while scoring at a better than point-per-game pace, while Patrice Bergeron remains a phenomenally good defensive player. Unlike Datsyuk and Toews (who are starting 58.1% and 62.4%, respectively, of their shifts in the offensive zone), Bergeron is starting in his own end well over 50% of the time and continues to push the puck in the right direction.
I also wanted to make special note of the fourth-ranked candidate, Manny Malhotra, who some will think an odd choice given his minus-6 rating for the Canucks. No player in the league starts more of his shifts in his own end of the ice than Malhotra, who Vigneault has converted into the league's formost defensive zone specialist. Of his non-neutral zone faceoffs, 86.4% of them are in the defensive zone. Despite this brutal treatment from head coach Alain Vigneualt, Malhotra somehow has 13 points and is just minus-6.
Also in the mix: Manny Malhotra, Jonathan Toews, Ryan Callahan, Henrik Zetterberg, Frans Nielsen
Hemsky for the Selke
The NHL should change the description of the Norris Trophy to
"The James Norris Memorial Trophy is an annual award given to the defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability to be Niklas Lidstrom."
Seriously, when's the last year that guy HASN'T been in contention?
Ryan O'Reilly should probably at least be "Also in the Mix"
Hemsky for the Selke
That would mean he would have to bust his butt on the back check and pick up his winger... ohhhh u were being sarcastic... ha ha ha
January 18 2012, 02:25PM
I know his offensive numbers arn't there but Girardi is probably the best Defensive Defenseman in the game right now
I just happened to wonder thru Leafs Nation and all the other nations/Armies, and noticed how few comments were posted on the blogs/articles. We as Oiler Nationers rule. Look at the comments and the number of them, We love Our Oilers good or bad, and love talking Hockey. The other sites / Fans could give a sheet by the looks of it.
Unless, we just have nothing better to do.. which i doubt is the case.
We ROCK Oilers Nationers !! if only our team did.. They will rise again and we will be louder and Prouder. Check out the ther site and how manly people comment compared to us..... interesting...
check out the sunshine girl today. Surely 'Oilersnation' can come up with something competitive . . . ?
(I only read these articles for the pictures)
let the record show that I voted for malhotra as my 1st place pick for the selke. damn, love that guy.

My theory on why 'Nucks fans don't post a lot on their own site is that they're all too busy trolling here.
January 18 2012, 04:05PM
Voted for Bergeron, but Backes is a solid pick.
Letang out since end Nov but expected back any day. Serious contender.
January 18 2012, 08:22PM
Are you doing the Calder in this series?
Adam Henrique has to be an also mention in the Selke race.
The kid is phenominal.
Horcoff for Selke!

@ Jonathan Willis
I know this is a bit late and off topic but the other day in part one of the mid season awards you stated:
Description: The Hart Memorial Trophy is an annual award given to the player judged to be the most valuable to his team.
Winner: Claude Giroux
Runners-Up: Phil Kessel, Evgeni Malkin
By that description/definition should Jordan Eberle not be up for this award? Claude Giroux is a pretty good player but even with him out the Flyers are a pretty good team and wouldn't be too hurt by his absense. The Oilers without Eberle on the other hand, well you know.
@ Pucker:
Glad to hear it, Pucker. Don't bother clicking on anything with my name on it, then - that's simply not my game.
I sincerely apologize. My sense of humour goes south sometimes.
January 20 2012, 07:19PM
Hi all! Cannot understand how Phaneuf got any votes for Norris....He does hit and put up points but his lack of effort and skill in actually helping prevent goals-against is iincredible not to mention a genaral lack of brainpower on the ice!

In the late 80s, Brian Wilson recorded the rap song "Smart Girls" with his therapist Eugene Landy taking co-writing credit.
"Smart Girls" was produced by Matt Dike, the co-founder of Delicious Vinyl who was also part of the production team behind hits by Tone Loc and Young MC. By varying accounts Dike was at one time a member of the Dust Brothers and responsible for a some of the production on The Beastie Boy's "Paul's Boutique" which was recorded in 1989 (roughly the same time as Wilson's album). You can actually hear some vague links as "Smart Girls" employs a similar cut-and-paste sample aesthetic (to far worse effect) as bits of past Beach Boy hits are chopped up and sprinkled throughout the song.
For more details on how this song came about, we highly recommend Wilson's autobiography Wouldn't It Be Nice which details much of his career and includes an overview of the controversial relationship he had with his therapist. Hint: your therapist should not be co-writing your albums and collecting ASCAP checks. Big up all the smart girls!

Responsive Winter Performance Tire for demanding weather conditions
In challenging weather conditions, the Eurowinter HS439 presents improved winter driving predictability and traction consistency. A new silica compound ensures tread flexibility, maximizing tread life, and multi-angled sipes allow for better control in ice and snow. The HS439 is extremely versatile as its unique UHP-inspired asymmetric tread pattern maintains high-speed stability in dry conditions, while four high volume circumferential grooves expel water, slush and packed snow when driving in adverse conditions. For owners of performance coupes, sedans, and wagons, the Eurowinter HS439 is perfect for winter and demanding weather conditions, whether wet or dry.

Useless winter tire for Canadian winters. At 2-3cm of snow on the ground I have no traction at launch. Cornering is exciting but dangerous. And if I stop in a puddle of snow, I practically have to rock the car before it'll start moving again. Embarrassing all around..AVOID!!!

The tires perform well in the winter although side walls are soft therefore quick turns feel a bit sloppy. I am nonethess happy with the purchase and have had a good experience driving in Alberta winters the past 2 years with these Falkens. I have put about 15000 Kms on the tires and the tread still appear new. I would buy again

Horrible winter tire - zero traction. I have run them for two winters (only in the winter) and they are already breaking down. Do not waste your time or money.

For Immediate ReleaseOctober 7, 2002
Minneapolis, MN. - The Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) released a new publication to help law enforcement agencies successfully incorporate new technology systems into their fight against crime. The Law Enforcement Tech Guide How to plan, purchase and manage technology (successfully!) was released by COPS at a conference hosted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police now underway in Minneapolis.
Information technology systems are a vital resource in the fight against crime. Over the past decade, more and more law enforcement agencies have relied on computer aided dispatch, records management, crime analysis, and other information technology system applications to help them better protect their communities. Yet, many of these agencies struggled with planning for the system, understanding what type of system was needed, identifying creditable vendors and contractors, and managing the new system.
The Law Enforcement Tech Guide will serve as a vital resource to law enforcement agencies that now confront the same challenges. The publication is a practical, step-by-step guide that covers issues ranging from assessing a department's needs, to organizational changes that will allow the agency to get the most out of their technology system.
"This guide is for every law enforcement executive who has ever sat at their desk looking at vendor pamphlets trying to figure out what type of technology system their department needed, how to purchase and properly install it, and how to get it to do what the agency needed done," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "I really wish this guide were around when I was a sheriff."
The Law Enforcement Tech Guide is one of the many resources that COPS offers in support of state and local law enforcement efforts. Since 1995, COPS has invested $10 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to 12,900 state and local law enforcement agencies. The Guide can be downloaded from www.cops.usdoj.gov, or it can be ordered by contacting the Department of Justice Response Center at 800.421.6770.
