Playoff Random Thoughts - April 25th
Kent Wilson
April 25 2011 10:35AM
Some thoughts on the post-season thus far as well as continued Flames coverage here on FN.
- How useful is Dave Bolland? Somewhat overlooked during the regular season, Bolland has been instrumental in turning the series around for Chicago against the Canucks. Through three games he has two goals and four assists and that's despite mostly playing against the Sedins in some of the toughest circumstances possible. Bolland has seen just six (!!) offensive zone draws in the series thus far, but was in the black in terms of possession before last night's contest. That's outstanding work against some of the best in the biz.
Plus there's stuff like this:
- All that said, Chicago is probably a bit lucky to still be in the series after last night. The Canucks had the ice tilted for most of the evening, to the tune of an overall corsi advantage of +32. Every single Hawk player spent more time in his own end at even strength last night, including Bolland and many of them were deep under water. If they want to close out the come back in Vancouver, a better evening at 5-on-5 is in order. game-tying, penalty shots are rare animals.
- Of course, if the Vancouver choke does come to fruition, feel free to head over to Canucks Army and give them the business. Sure Vancouver has a better team than the Flames and probably will in the forseeable future, but a collapse of thise magnitude deserves mockery nonetheless.
(pic courtesy of Andrew Loudoun )
- Congratulations to the Nashville Predators and especially Barry Trotz for making it out of the first round. The franchise has endured a lot of lean years and spun straw into gold with a combination of good drafting, frugal UFA market pick-ups and, of course, good coaching. The road gets a lot rockier for the Preds from here on out, but they deserve praise even if they fall to whomever in round 2.
- No one should bet terribly surprised the preds made it past the Ducks BTW. As we've mentioned around these parts, Anaheim has a very nice top-end but things fall off rapidly after that. The Ducks had some of the worst underlying numbers at ES this regular season and combination of Jonas Hiller, a potent power-play and Corey Perry catching fire down the stretch got them to the dance. When Hiller went down for the count, the long-term fortunes of the Ducks lessened significantly. Excellent teams can get away with average goaltending, but not a middling club like the Ducks.
- Mike Richards hits Tim Connolly into the boards from behind, injuring him for the remainder of the game (and possibly the series). The NHL doesn't suspend Richards, of course, because...well, the NHL doesn't care overly much about punishing dangerous hits despite all it's bluster to the contrary. It cares about seeming to care, but that's another matter entirely.
What's really interesting is what the true lack of enforceable standards or consistency in justice causes in response to such acts:
I don't believe there's any malicious intent from Richards, and it does sound horrible and you feel bad saying it, but there's definitely some onus on Connolly to not put himself in that kind of position. The rulebook even says that. But for the most part, I think the lack of suspension is the right call based solely on the precedent we've seen in these playoffs so far.
That's from the link above and admittedly the thoughts of a Flyers fan. Still, this is a perfect example of the three primary rationalizations for needless or excessive violence we see now and then in the NHL. Let's count them:
1.) The "no malicious intent" justification. I've written about this before for The Score, in that the league should stop worrying about mens rea when doling out discipline. For two reasons - firstly, because it's pretty much impossible to read intent from most actions in the game, outside of extreme stick-swinging of the Marty McSorly type. We none of us are mind-readers. And secondly, it doesn't much matter if Richards was planning to kill Connolly or if we has thinking about kittens and unicorns at the time. The result is the same: a dangerous, injurious, illegal hit from behind.
2.) "There's definitely some onus on Connolly to not put himself in that kind of position" is called blaming the victim and it's one of the oldest, most enduring cognitive biases around. It comes from psychological need to perceive the universe as essentially just, so people often find ways to suggest victims "deserve" their treatment somehow.
It's also telling that in discussions and debates around this topic you'll hear some folks defending the perpetrators of dangerous hits on the basis of hockey being a "fast game" and things "happening quickly". And yet, no one seems to apply that line of thought to the victims of hits.
As anyone who has played hockey can tell you, it's entirely impossible to "defend yourself" from potentially harmful plays at all times when you're on the ice. No matter how guarded you are nor how much you keep your head up, there's going to be a point at which you become vulnerable to one degree or another. Like, for instance skating into the boards to retrieve a puck and some dude shoves you from behind.
3.) The "lack of precedent" or what I call "Jimmy's parents let him stay up late!" argument. This rationalization is a self-inflicted feedback loop created by the NHL's inconstant discipline. Imagine, for instance, if Joe Thornton hits Dustin Brown from behind in the next SJS-LAK game. Now Sharks fans can point to the Richards case and declare "no suspension based on precendent!"
This rant wasn't aimed solely at Travis Hughes, because you see this stuff all the time when a questionable play occurs in the league these days.
- Not a lot happening on the Flames front news-wise, so we'll continue to dig through the numbers and post our analysis here at FlamesNation. Pat and I will follow-up Robert's in-depth look at the forwards this week. We will begin to pull the perspective back somewhat after that with a view to look at the club as a whole and particularly what it all means when it comes to the Flames cap situation, the draft and the free agent market. We will also start to share some of the overall scoring chance numbers gleaned from the regular season.
I hasten to add that if any one has any questions about the quantative stuff thrown around here, don't hesitate to pipe up in the comments or send an email question or two. We're on the bleeding edge when it comes to some of this stuff, so it's perfectly natural not to be out in front of it all. Also - if enough readers would like a "glossary of terms" for the site, I could be motivated to put one together.
- Speaking of the draft, there's a good chance FN will be strongly represented in Minnesota when the event rolls around in late June. Let us know what kind of coverage you'd like to see when we're down there and we'll try our best to fulfill all expectations.
I think that clip sums it all up for Vancouver... that hit by Torres was the turning point in this series... call it poetic justice.

david bolland is what turned this seies around for the hawks. sure the torres hit was a rallying point, but do not overlook the weight bolland carries in the hawks game plan the brothers sedin are now the brothers invisible. that and the chicago mob must have gotten into bobby lous head, the jekyll and hyde act is mind boggling.

i'm starting to think that headshots should be suspendable regardless of circumstance. if a guy knows he's getting 5-15 games for delivering a headshot regardless of intent, injury, precedent, or victim position, there would be less headshots full-stop.
i'm starting to think that 5 games for a headshot is the base, add say 2 games for leaving his feet, 2 for percieved maliciousness, and 1-5 for severity of injury. sumpin like that.
April 25 2011, 02:12PM
Anything other than what they currently use for a guideline would be WINNING.
Why doesn't the PA do or say anything about headshots? I realize that the number one priority of the PA is collective bargaining, but as an association of players shouldn't they be saying something about protecting the health and livelihoods of their members?
Hey Kent,
I love the advanced stats that are done for this team as well as others. It has really changed the way I watch hockey. With that said I would love to see a glossary option for this website. I still get pretty confused when all the numbers are sitting in front of me. Thanks again for all the work that is done.
I would also love a glossary, I mix up which stats are which all the time!
I would definately agree though, that getting the stats beyond the standard plus/minus etc, has certainly openned my eyes to what I was watching!
In terms of the draft, I have quickly fallen in love with this annual event, and have been following it consistently over that past 4-5 years. Any coverage you guys could provide would be awesome!
I'm quite dissappointed with the Richards non suspension call. This idea of intent governing whether or not a suspension was called is even worse then the old method of ruling based on injury caused! A hit to the head is a hit to the head. He didn't have to make that hit, but he did, and as such the hit became a dangerous hit, this should be the ruling behind these hits.
I used to love the big hits, but now I find myself thinking that the hit was excessive or he should have pulled up a bit, rather than enjoying the hit itself. I really wish they could have a better understanding as to what is a suspension and for how long, I think it really affects the media attention and media dollars that the NHL is losing to the other big sports.
April 25 2011, 04:11PM
It is hilarious that Mike Gillis is whining about the reffing in the series now. Earth to Gillis, the refs dont make you lose 7-2 and 5-0!! If he is so upset about the Bickell hit I wonder what he thought about the Torres hit on Seabrook? Where is Todd the toad when you need him?
It wasn't a penalty since Torres only got the interfence call. Bieksa had the puck

Why doesn't the PA do or say anything about headshots? I realize that the number one priority of the PA is collective bargaining, but as an association of players shouldn't they be saying something about protecting the health and livelihoods of their members?
The PA has never really pushed this stuff as part of a more comprehensive occupational safety and health policy, and to be honest I suspect it's a mix of competitive pressure and a misplaced sense of machismo. Absent a few catastrophic injuries, I can't see their approach changing. I really have less patience for the PA on this issue than I do for league management. I expect the league to be cravenly ignorant or dismissive about safety, even though they bear some risk financially. The players, though, should have the collective wit to begin looking after themselves, and that includes both pushing for equipment/facility safety as well as modifying their own behavior. I'm not holding my breath.
The league isn't serious about headshots in the game. Bettman is obsessive over growing the game in the USA and he is afraid to have the game branded as a "dangerous" game as it already is down south by the media.
Specifically Bettman does not want to acknowledge the problem because by acknowledging it the league is admitting it exists, thus confirming years of opinion by a large crowd who does not understand the game.
Bettman is all about the money, and if a few people become disfigured along the way its just the price of doing business.
Plus why suspend Richards now? its the playoffs and its a tight series, you don't want to take a star player out because they put butts in seats and eyes on screens.
I really dislike the Bettman body of work in the post lock-out era. Like the whole Phoenix thing? Seriously, the guy must have Daz as a consultant because he is stuck on things that cant ever work outside of his own little imagination.
April 25 2011, 09:48PM
Hey Kent. As for draft coverage, I would love to see a run down of who may be available around Calgary's pick and what they bring to the table and how it could affect the Flames in the future and possibly immediatley. Thanks.
April 26 2011, 12:01AM
I don't know about Phoenix being doomed from the start. People likely said the same thing about the Kings/Sharks/Ducks when they were first created, and at least two of those teams are developing some pretty strong fanbases (not sure what the Ducks' fanbase is like).
Hi Kent, For the draft, coverage of possible trades by Flames and their rivals would be nice as well as any insight into Flames plans (e.g. draft big defenseman or improve on finesse). Also you need a glossary of stats in every article that can be at the bottom every time to explain briefly corsi, zonestart, etc, etc
According to this, Flames have the 13th pick (1st round), we won't mention what happened to our 2nd and 3rd rounders, 104th pick (round 4), 134th pick (round 5), 164th (round 6), and we don't have a 7th (how's life in the press box Modin?).
Assuming that the draft goes exactly in the order of the rankings, we would sit at the following dude:
OLEKSIAK, JAMIESON H-EAST 12/21/92 6'7" 244lbs Position: D, 34GP 3-9-12 51PIM
It won't go down that exact way. Other possibilities in this area could be:
Who knows though, the draft is so unpredictable, and our scouting/drafting has been piss poor in previous years. Needless to say, with Feaster at the helm (likely), anything could happen.
We'll probably end up taking several left-handed defenceman goons from the WHL and a goalie or two from Finland.
The refs are out to get us, and it's pretty sad that 960 is backing the american team. When fan wins tonight you can play U2 over and over again. Pretty sad calgary.
Your comment seems to be lacking your usual amount of enthusiasm!
I would agree, the refs are out to get you, after all, like Gillis said, Chicago got a penalty shot, which was a complete conspiracy between the refs...
If the Canucks were focused on playing hockey, instead of trying give concussions to every hawks player, they would take less penalties, end of story.
EDIT: And why would a Calgary radio station cheer for a division rival? That would be sad!
I will agree that any warm weather team has had struggles, but Bettman threw millions of dollars chasing a pipe dream. That team should have been gone 2 seasons ago. Compare it to Nashville, some struggles for profitability but local support keeps the team there with some league support. Its working. Phoenix, well its a gotten so bad public watch dogs like Goldwater had to get involved.
The refs are out to get us, and it's pretty sad that 960 is backing the american team. When fan wins tonight you can play U2 over and over again. Pretty sad calgary.
When you assemble a group of guys known for taking cheap shots and dives, it's not so much that refs are out to get you, as much as they are just catching what is going on.
With the refing that went on last night, we're going to have to listen to McGillis whine before every game the rest of the way. Really sad but it does keep with the identity of the team.
Gotta be honest, I'm kinda glad Todd decided to sign up and give trolling here another go. Kinda missed him since the banning.
I know, he really makes you want to cheer for Van's opponents.
As long as you're taking requests for site improvements, any chance of getting a mobile version going? I probably access this site 75% of the time on my Blackberry. Would be nice to have something with a little smaller footprint.
As far as the advanced stats go, it would be great to have some benchmark numbers to compare to. Like a good, bad, ugly ranges. Otherwise they're just numbers.
Thanks for all your hard work.

During pregnancy, we're told to eat healthy, balanced, nutritional diets and gain 25 to 35 pounds. For some of us, limiting it to 35 pounds is hard to do, especially when our bodies are craving all kinds of odd things. A craving for chocolate milkshakes by one of our subscribers resulted in a weight gain of over 70 pounds. Her doctor finally told her "no more milkshakes, you're gaining too much weight." Though she planned on heeding her doctor's advice, the decision was made much easier since her blender had given out from running so hard.
We all know how to put on weight, but how do we lose this excess weight after pregnancy? The process can be extremely difficult, even depressing at times. Our bodies may change so drastically - skin can stretch almost to the point of being transparent, and our hips can spread like we never knew they could. You have to have the initiative and willingness to exercise and change your eating habits in order to get back into shape!
It can take a long time to lose unwanted pounds. Since it took 9 months for your body to gain all that weight, give yourself at least 9 months to lose it. It will not disappear overnight, unless you're one of the fortunate women who pops right back into their old body immediately after delivering.
The first 20 pounds usually come right off after delivery. Shedding the rest will take a commitment by you to exercise and eat a sensible diet. Many women find it difficult to exercise because they're tired from caring for a new baby. Not liking the way you look, however, can serve as the best reminder that you'll have to overcome the fatigue and take action.
Most doctors recommend waiting six weeks before you begin any exercising routine, especially if you had a cesarean birth, so get the OK from your doctor first. The extra weight tends to balance between your tummy and hips, therefore you may want to
start with simple exercises that work these areas the most.
Aerobic exercise increases your heart rate, and will have you huffing and puffing, burning off the pounds. Jogging, swimming, cycling, dancing, or a brisk walk are all great ways to shed those extra pounds. Always warm up before exercising with simple stretches. Remember to wear appropriate clothing and supportive shoes.
Stretching Tips
Shoulder Lifts - lift one shoulder up to your ear, let down, switch to the other shoulder, lift up to ear, let down. Repeat 5 times each side.
Shoulder Rolls - lift right shoulder, roll forward, move back and down, switch to other shoulder, lift, roll forward, move back and down. Repeat 5 times each side.
Neck Roll - standing straight, move right ear to right shoulder, return to center, repeat with left ear to left shoulder, return to center. Repeat 5 times.

Chelsea 'keen for swift appointment'
Roman Abramovich is increasingly confident of appointing a replacement for Roberto Di Matteo on Wednesday evening after ruthlessly sacking yet another Chelsea manager.

Press Association Sport understands Blues owner Abramovich has identified the man to fill the void, amid reports Rafael Benitez would be parachuted into the job until the end of the season.
- Premier League
- last updated 19/11 21:54
Abramovich is keen to have someone in place before Sunday's crunch Barclays Premier League game against Manchester City and Chelsea hope to make an announcement before Thursday.
Their billionaire benefactor is said to have tried again to convince number one target Pep Guardiola to cancel his one-year sabbatical, having failed to do so in the summer.
Another refusal from the former Barcelona manager would force Abramovich once more to turn elsewhere, with Benitez and Avram Grant favourites - two names that will not go down well with many of the club's fans.
Former Liverpool boss Benitez was quizzed in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday morning about whether an approach had been made, prior to reports he would jet back to London for talks with Chelsea.
He told Sport360: "You ask directly, I cannot answer directly.
"In football, a lot of people are talking so we will see what happens in the next few days.
"I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs."
Asked whether he would accept a short-term deal having not be interested in that earlier when he was heavily linked with the job prior to Di Matteo's appointment, he added: "I have to talk with my agent and see what he has been doing the last couple of days.
"But I am just trying to go to a team that can win."
That was much the same as Benitez said earlier this year before watching Di Matteo pick Chelsea up off the floor to inspire the greatest climax to a season in the club's history.
But not even delivering Abramovich's Holy Grail of the Champions League - as well as the FA Cup - could spare Di Matteo becoming the latest victim of the most uncompromising owner in football.
Last night's 3-0 defeat at Juventus was the final straw for Abramovich, who it is understood had already been considering wielding the axe following an alarming slump in form.
He wasted little time after Di Matteo's radical tactics and team selection backfired spectacularly in 3-0 loss in Turin, where Chelsea suffered their worst ever Champions League group stage result to leave them facing becoming the first holders to crash out before Christmas.
Abramovich instructed chairman Bruce Buck and chief executive Ron Gourlay to deliver the bad news, which they did at around 4am at the club's training ground following the team's return flight to London.
It is understood Di Matteo was far from shocked by the decision and had already said what amounted to a farewell to some of his players prior to the meeting.
Chelsea waited until 9am to confirm his departure, saying in a statement: "Chelsea Football Club has parted company this morning with manager Roberto Di Matteo.
"The team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season.
"The club faces a difficult task ahead in qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League, as well as maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier League while competing in three other cup competitions.
"Our aim is to remain as competitive as possible and challenge strongly on all fronts.
"The owner and the board would like to thank Roberto for all he has done for the club since taking over in March.
"Roberto helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and a seventh FA Cup. We will never forget the huge contribution he has made to this club's history and he will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge.
"The club will be making an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager."
On paper, the decision to sack Di Matteo looks the most brutal of Abramovich's near-decade at Stamford Bridge and it is understood the Russian was warned it could result in a backlash.
But he was never 100% convinced Di Matteo was the man to implement his vision of seeing 'Barcelona in blue shirts', despite rewarding the Champions League triumph with a two-year contract.
That deal had a clause allowing both parties to review the arrangement next summer and it was unclear on Wednesday whether Di Matteo was entitled to be paid for the remainder of the agreement if he failed to find work in the next 18 months.
Chelsea will almost certainly stop paying him the moment he does join a new club, which is unlikely to take too long for a man with his new-found pedigree.
He could be followed by assistant Eddie Newton who, as of Wednesday afternoon, was still in a job.

Skip to comments.The budget deal passed in the senate
Posted on 12/31/2012 11:12:25 PM PST by null and void
Just announced on KKSF 910
Eight voted no—one was Rubio don't know the others yet...
Eight out of 100? We are sooooooooooooo screwed.
Just heard Rand Paul and Dick Shelby voted no.
Let me know if you aor ANYBODY hears how Collins, Snowe or McCain voted.
Guy on Fox said a few liberal democrats voted no as well. I've yet to see a roll call.
No' votes: 3 Ds (Bennet, Cardin, Harkin); 5 Rs (Grassley, Lee, Paul, Rubio, Shelby)
Well yeah. The Senate is the Supreme Soviet to the WH's Politburo . . .
Folks, this bill is a good start. Many more bills will be coming, this is just the first. The house needs to amend it with winning proposals to divide the Rats and stop the spending, but they have to be proposals with broad public support. End child tax deductions for illegals, and no pay raises for Govt employees - those things will divide the RATs but bring the public to our side - I hope the Pubbies on the House are smart enough to play the game.
PS - stay away from SS - losing issue, unless you restrict it to people in country minimum of 10 years.
have to count on the 50 or so TEA Party in the House now.
2014 GOP primaries are gonna be open season on RINOs I guarantee.
Thank you!
Reporter on Fox said this was just a 2 month extension, and that all of this will have to be done again in a few weeks.
Wow, just when a little over half the country is watching New Year's on TV!! I bet the GOP will never learn to play a crisis like that!
That's not quite as bad, I guess.
Not all of it, but the spending will need to be re-authorized. This is where the House needs to be clever. Find ways to cut spending the RATs hate but the public loves. This is how the game needs to be played.
Of those eight I wonder how many did it for politics and how many did it out of principle.
That's nice. Spending comes from the House. F*ck what the Senate wants.
Meaning that this vote is 100% meaningless since the next congress can make whatever they pass retroactive, as congresses have done in the past. I hope the House just punts and goes home until the next congress takes over. But then I guess the African communist Ubama and the rat newsrooms would blame the Republicans for sending America over the "fiscal cliff".
"PS - stay away from SS - losing issue, unless you restrict it to people in country minimum of 10 years."
Screw the young! We got ours!
OH MY! Methinks you forgot the sarcasm tag :)/s
So when you don't deal with the house it can still be called a budget?
It can be called anything Minitrue wants to call it.
They can all just KMA and BIH.
Nope. SS needs to be fixed. As it is, all the non-boomer generations have greater debt loads, higher taxes and lower compensation that boomers received.
Who's going to pay for it all? Not us.
I hope you are right.
Getting rid of illigals child tax credits would be great.
According to the Wash Post they voted NO to their own raise.
Lotsa luck with that....
The eight who voted 'nay' are:
Bennet (D-CO)
Carper (D-DE)
Grassley (R-IA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Lee (R-UT)
Paul (R-KY)
Rubio (R-FL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Three didn't vote:
DeMint (R-SC)
Kirk (R-IL)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
I'm disgusted both my senators (Alexander and Corker) voted 'yea'. I had hope for Corker since he raised cain all day. Shoulda known he'd turn around and let us down.
I have zero hope for the GOP after this, none.
How about restrict it to those who are citizens?
There are about 2 TEA Partiers in the Senate and about 22 in the House.
I'm not surprised at all, that the GOP would rant and rave for our benefit and then cave completely.
How much does SSN add to deficit?
Tax cuts are permanent
I'm not surprised either, to be honest. But it would have been nice if just ONCE they'd followed through; done the right thing.
Too much to expect.
If you haven't read this, you should.
Watch the numbers.
"In Fiscal Year 2011, the federal government collected $2.303 trillion in tax revenue."
"Interest on the debt that year totaled $454.4 billion,"
That means that around 19.7 percent of the budget is eaten up by debt interest. The US is not yet bankrupt, yet. But we are getting there. It would be like earning 50k a year before taxes and paying some 15k in credit card interest alone.
"mandatory spending totaled $2,025 billion. In sum, mandatory spending plus debt interest totaled $2.479 trillion exceeding total revenue by $176.4 billion."
Supposing Obama froze government spending to 2012 levels, we are still spending about 108 percent of the current budget based on mandatory spending alone. That's a deficit of 8 percent. Not great but manageable.
"For Fiscal Year 2012 which just ended 37 days ago, that shortfall increased 43% to $251.8 billion."
That's a deficit of close to 12 percent. Unsustainable. That's BEFORE all the discretionary spending.
"they could cut the entirety of the Federal Governments discretionary budget no more military, SEC, FBI, EPA, TSA, DHS, IRS, etc. and they would still be in the hole by a quarter of a trillion dollars."
And that's just the way things are now! SS and other entitlements are predicted to expand at twice the rate of inflation.
The young people are fucked. We are going to get crushed by either entitlements or debt. Or both.
I understand the budget. I have read the article. SSN is a losing argument because it is the ONE entitlement not adding to the deficit now. It is not expected too until 2030 or so depending on which numbers you are looking at. Medicare is a huge drain. Military also has to be cut if we are serious about reduction.
What a farce our Government has become.
God bless you for your vigilance over New Years Eve, null and void.
God bless you for your vigilance over New Years Eve, null and void.
We have the Whorehouse Quartet
The Senate
The 'Supreme Sandwich' Court
We are going to take hits.
"Checkmate" is immigration.
The House needs to dump Bone-head before we can even begin to have serious leadership. Otherwise, he's going to mess everything up, make the GOP look like blundering ogres who 'only love the rich', lose key votes anyway, and then he would happiliy cave on immigration like Briar Rabbbit in the thorn patch. That, I believe, is Bone-head's objective. But he has to demoralize us first. We's a worm growing in our belly.
"Wes" no, HE is a worm growing in our belly.
Good grief. Coffee. I need coffee.
What about college research grants? Wind mill scams. Solar scams. Federal employee paychecks. Federal pensions. No you go straight to the military rather than the bloated bureaccracy and pork.
Yeah, they're from my state. Not good. Get ready for the AWB. These guys will roll over like beagles. We are past the ballot box. God bless you freezers one and all.
Amen. Spot on. Liberals, liberalism, and Obama are vulnerable, more vulnerable than it appears.
I mean what the news media decrees then that is what is done. the media came up with this "fiscal cliff" bs and all the stupid public and all the stupid Senators vote to avoid this great cliff. does anyone know how we are going over some cliff? do any of them ? NO. Well a handful of Senators didn't , Rubio among them has sense but that is abysmal. there is no damn cliff. just don't vote for that stupid deal so what would we fall of some cliff? NO.

"SSN is a losing argument because it is the ONE entitlement not adding to the deficit now."
Not to the people who are paying into it. Young people. Again, you're assuming that a policy is a loser policy because the takers > makers.
I hope you're not one of those 'lockbox' people. There is no 'lockbox' it's been spent. Everything that boomers have contributed has already been spent on stuff for boomers.
What is happening now, is that as boomers retire - their children and grandchildren are footing the bill. Only your children and grandchildren make about as much as your grandparents did. We get a considerable percentage of our income taken off, no matter how much we make, to pay for Social security. For me last year, it worked out to be close to 20 percent of my earnings. And I make about 10k a year.
Meaning - we don't have the money - because boomers won't hire us for the positions that make a significant amount of money - and because Boomers insist on credentialism for entry level positions. If you don't spend x number of years in school - you won't even be considered.
There's simply not enough of us out there to pay for all the boomer retirement benefits, not when it takes 5 of us to pay for one of your jobs, and the retirement ratio is approaching 2:1.
SS reform is inevitable. The choice we have at present is how that reform is to take place. What are folks like me supposed to think, when we are having 20 percent of our paychecks taken to pay for people who make more money than we ever had in our life? Social Security takes from the people who have little money (younger folks), and pays it to the section that is the most well off.
I thought you were imitating Hillary's no ways tired lingo. Happy New year Arthur.

What type of rockets were the first created by humans?
chemical rockets
solid-fuel rockets
These rockets use a solid fuel propellant to create thrust.
thermal rockets
Question 8 of 30

Question 21 of 30
What is one tremendous benefit of rocket engines over jet engines?
Rockets are less prone to breakage.
Rockets don't require air.
That means rockets work even in space, a place where jets would be useless.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Almost three months ago, I came clean and publicly announced that being fat was no longer acceptable in my life and that the new me was about to come forth.
Since I still believed that I was an athlete, and I have not changed my mind since, I knew that changes were necessary in order to continue playing at the level that my mind said that I should play at. Continued good health was also a small concern.
And now the truth, I am still an athlete and I continue to be an asset to my softball team as I can still run and throw and bat as good as ever. Okay, I can bat as good as ever, but I am deceptively fast for a person of my age and weight and my throwing has limited me to infield play because of rotator cuff surgery a few years back.
And even though I am an athlete, once you get over 30 it is not easy or fast to recuperate after a game or two. Your body simply gets sore because you are not in fantastic shape any more. You do not make any magazine covers.
And now the weight issue, I have not weighed myself yet since I still have a disdain for scales, but I am going back to the scene of my last weigh-in next week and get the official results of my efforts. It will have been exactly three months since my start of the new me.
I started at a tight 42 in shorts and after a month I was in a size 40. Now I am in a loose 38 and am pretty confidant that I will be able to get in an old pair of Levi shorts that I found in my dresser in just a matter of days. They are size 36.
I feel great. I measured my blood pressure and it has dropped back into the normal range and my heart rate dropped 12 beats a minute. My joints also feel great and believe it or not, I can bend over and touch my toes without bending my knees.
I have not done anything drastic, I have just made a concentrated consistent effort and I made it public so that I could not quit. I eat better, I sleep better, I live better.
I am not at the end of my journey but somewhere in the middle, I know that life can be even better. I started three months ago and I am seeing great results, just imagine your life if you had made a similar effort. Life is great, get off the couch.

Skip to comments.Bob Woodward says he was threatened by White House
Posted on 02/27/2013 8:59:28 PM PST by Rennes Templar
(CNN) - Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said Wednesday he was threatened by a senior Obama administration official following his reporting on the White House's handling of the forced federal spending cuts set to take effect on Friday.
"They're not happy at all," he said on CNN's "The Situation Room," adding that an e-mail from a senior administration official - who he would not name - communicated a message which caused him great concern.
"It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this," he said.
Woodward penned a 2012 book reporting that the idea for the spending cuts, known as the sequester, originated with the White House. It's a claim President Barack Obama originally denied, but the White House has since acknowledged.
But it was language that he used in an op-ed published over the weekend in The Washington Post that drew what he said was the Obama administration response.
"[W]hen the president asks that a substitute for the sequester include not just spending cuts but also new revenue, he is moving the goal posts," Woodward wrote. "His call for a balanced approach is reasonable, and he makes a strong case that those in the top income brackets could and should pay more. But that was not the deal he made."
Headlined "Obama's sequester deal-changer," it was widely cited by Republicans seeking to avert the across-the-board cuts without a tax increase.
"The fundamental question here the president has to decide - does he wanna be president of a political party or does he want to be president of the United States?" House Speaker John Boehner asked at a Tuesday news conference. "It is time for leadership."

Dear Bob:
Or, it never happened.
If Bob Woodward said it, I think I believe it.
Did Nixon's plumbers ever threaten him?/s;)
Again, Bruce Willis in Diehard: "Welcome to the party pal!"
After four years...some journalists have come to grasp that it's become a comic opera of sorts. Woodward tends to publish a book every eighteen months...so you'd best prepare for a dismal story on the White House by the end of this year.
Gene Sperling.
98th thread on the topic today.
Woodward did not lie about Nixon. Why would he be lying now? He is just protecting his rear end by outing the threat. If his car crashes, it won't be ruled an accident quickly, without an investigation now.
"After four years...some journalists have come to grasp that its become a comic opera of sorts."
And the monster so turns on its creators. Too late?
The president kicks out the media while taking questions this week. Woodward gets threatened? Did it happen or is he trying to get better ratings? The media may just be getting spanked by the idiot they forced upon us for the past 6 years. Do I see karma?? I can only hope. Don't forget, dictators make their own rules.

Now we'll find out if there are any journalists left in the media.
Do they side with one of their "own", or do they continue to carry water for Obama, who will throw them under the bus or destroy them on a whim if they fall out of his favor.
> Well, what have we here?
A distraction from (fill in the blank).
Watch for power blackouts as sequestration looms closer
Obama and his union whores will pull the plug
"If Bob Woodward said it, I think I believe it."
Me too. A liberal complaining about Obama? That certainly gives him credibility.
I admire a journalist with integrity.
The MSM worm has turned, or will? It would be nice to see them, um, doingtheirdamjobs (SEE: Congress), but I'm going to hold off for a while before subscribing to the Washington Post or NYT—or cupping one hand behind my back.
Or that they've created a totalitarian monster. Some may be channeling the thoughts of pro-Castro Cuban intellectuals as they were being herded to "the wall" by Che Guevara's thugs. I think Woodward's matured and is showing some guts.
I wonder how the WH will spin this one.
They will probably make him an offer he cannot refuse.
Was he ever threatened by either the Nixon or Ford White Houses?
"Say you misunderstood, Bob, or we send over some hard State Street boys to re-arrange your ....
furniture." (?) They might send Reggie, you know—the limp wrist in the iron glove.
I was surprised at his reaction: He's threatened and it makes him "very uncomfortable." Must be lib-speak. Menbe he's worried about a visit from Zero's 'Lavendar Mafia'.
Hey, journalists! The 1st amendment swimmin' pond: Don't be shy. Jump in—the water's fine!
He might have been threatened by those administrations.
But times have changed. It is far more dangerous...and he is older.
I was ten foot tall and bullet proof at one time myself.
Woodward is still defending Obama with his if Obama knew, Obama would never act this way line.
LOL pretty much sums it up.
Just a little dissension among the ranks. Another more convincing threat will have ol' Bob back in line in no time claiming it was all a misunderstanding on his part. Hey Bob, you might want to put a little ice on that.
Bye Bob!
I would avoid flying, Chicago and most places within the DC area if I were you.
If I was a betting man, I would take the under.
Someone write this one down.
Thanks Rennes Templar.
Woodward! Don't know you the role of journalists is to destroy REPUBLICANS and other normal people? You are not supposed to ask democrats and other insane people embarassing questions.
Get back on the plantation!
Publish the email...
Woodward will be asked to attend a picnic at Ft Marcy Park I suspect.
On a related front, notice how it was some low echelon career employee who single handed decided to release all those illegal criminal aliens. His excellency had no knowledge "till he read it in the paper." Yeah, I can see him up there now sprauled out over the morning brunch table reading the NY Times quaffing his orange juice chatting with Chabaka and saying gee, what is this?
Hagel said it during his senate hearing, my position is not one of making policy. Anyone who believes this White House at the senior levels is not calling the shots is a ball lost in the high weeds.
I hope Bob W. isn't counting on any cover from the Repukes. They'll be caving in any minute now.
Woodward will be asked to attend a picnic at Ft Marcy Park I suspect.
"Dear Bob: Names. Or, it never happened."
You can't be serious.
I think Bob is wise to hold the name back for now. And keep a copy of the email ready to drop at any minute, or in the event of an untimely demise.
Call it a "life insurance policy."
The Vince Foster Memorial Picnic.
Main course, brains on a plate.
At least Bob Woodward has a SPINE!
"...it wont be ruled an accident quickly, without an investigation now..."
And who will investigate? Holder? Other media apparatchniks?
Bad things happen to people who wake up and smell the very "red" roses. That's what was just communicated to him.
Thugocracy in action, by master thugs.
I agree.
Sad state of affairs we're living through, Sarge.
Damned sad. And infuriating.

I understand that I need to take out the anode rod in the heater---but how do you do that? And will the heater corode sooner because the rod is gone?

My first pair of green shoes
"Overall, I really like these shoes. The green is true to the color depicted on my screen. The shoes run slightly narrow but once you wear them a couple of times they stretch a little bit. I really like these shoes."

Fun pump, great color
"I am really happy with this shoe. The color is exactly as I'd hoped it would be, a bright fresh minty green. The shoe is very comfy for a heel of this height. The backside of the heel is a patent leather green as well. I would definitely recommend it and would definitely consider purchasing another pair in a different color."

3rd pair of these shoes, 3rd color!
"I first bought this shoe in the tan color, and loved it so much for regular work wear (with dresses and skirts in the summer) that I bought them in black after hunting them down as they became more scarce. When I saw them online in my favorite color, green, I had to get them! They will go with a lot of my wardrobe, and I know they fit great and have all-day comfort. I might have to give in and get them in the blue also!"

The center of the closet flange needs to be set 12" from the FINISH wall. You need 24" clearance in front and 15" side to side as measured from the center of the flange.

PROVIDENCE – Direct state and local government spending in Rhode Island increased 1.1 percent between fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, less than the 1.7 percent increase nationally, according to a report from the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council released Tuesday.
Rhode Island and its municipalities spent $9.2 billion in fiscal 2011, or $203.69 for every $1,000 in personal income of its residents. The national average was $203.84 per thousand dollars of income.
On a per capita basis, however, Rhode Island governments spent $8,769 in fiscal 2011, 4.8 percent more than the national average of $8,366, RIPEC said.
From fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011, Rhode Island direct government spending (which excludes utility and liquor store, and insurance trust spending) increased the most in transportation, 4.6 percent year over year, with social services and income maintenance the second highest increase, at 2.1 percent.
On a national level, social service spending increased 6.1 percent year over year, far outstripping every other category.
Education spending, which includes libraries, represented the largest share of Rhode Island government expenditures, at roughly one-third of all spending.
Between fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2011, education spending accounted for 23 percent of all increases in government spending, compared with 19 percent nationally.
Vendor payments (mostly Medicaid related) accounted for 37 percent of spending increases, compared with 21 percent nationally.

Avengers assemble!
Cast & crew: Robert Downey Jr. - Tony Stark / Iron Man Clark Gregg - Agent Coulson Scarlett Johansson - Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow Chris Hemsworth - Thor Chris Evans - Steve Rogers / Captain America Samuel L Jackson - Nick Fury Jeremy Renner - Clint Barton / Hawkeye Mark Ruffalo - Bruce Banner / Hulk Joss Whedon - Director Kevin Feige - Producer / President of Marvel Studios
Comic Con: Marvel Assembles The Avengers in Hall H Posted on Saturday, July 24th, 2010 by Russ Fischer It was a pretty poorly kept secret that Marvel planned to formally announce The Avengers today during the Marvel Studios panel in Hall H at the San Diego Comic Con, but that didn't stop thousands of people going into geek rapture when the full cast walked out on stage. After the Thor panel concluded, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige dimmed the lights one last time, and an Avengers "˜A' logo slowly resolved on screen as the voice of Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) explained the formation of the world's biggest superhero team. And then Jackson himself came on stage to introduce the cast. All the details are after the break. Jackson introduced the cast we know, all of whom strode out on stage. We'd just seen Clark Gregg (SHIELD Agent Coulson), Chris Evans (Captain America) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) on other panels, but the appearances of Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) were surprises. Then Downey took the mic, and before he got down to business he took a moment to comment on the wild ambition of Inception before proclaiming the idea of bringing together the leads of all of Marvel's superhero films for The Avengers to be the most wildly ambitious movie idea yet hatched. Then he introduced Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk. (The latter got a mixed response, because only minutes before an audience member had asked Feige about the return of Edward Norton, and boos erupted from the audience when Feige downplayed the dismissal of Norton.) Then Joss Whedon came out, grinning like a madman. "I've had a dream all my life," he exclaimed, "and it was not this good!" (Then, in typically self-depricating style, he jokingly added "and I am going to blow it.") There wasn't much more to the announcement than that, and if you've been following along, none of the cast count as surprises. But was it cool to see everyone on stage together? Yes. It definitely was. Check out the Avengers teaser site for a representation of the "˜A' logo.

CARRIE ANN BAADE is known for her allegorical oil paintings. These painted parables combine remnants of Renaissance and Baroque imagery, creating surreal landscapes inhabited by exotic flora, fauna, and figures. As a contemporary painter, she returns to the relevant moments in art history in order to reclaim them, not merely as a quotation of a theme or an image, but also as the materiality of methods and techniques that ultimately create them.
Carrie was awarded the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs Individual Artist Fellowship in 2010, the Delaware Division of the Arts Fellowship for Established Artist in 2005, and was nominated for the prestigious United States Artist Fellowship in 2006 and the Joan Mitchell Grant in 2012. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally, including solo exhibitions: the Delaware Contemporary, Billy Shire Fine Arts in Los Angeles, the Ningbo Art Museum in China, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville, Florida.
Born in Louisiana, Carrie Ann Baade received her Masters in Painting from the University of Delaware and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago that included one year of study at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy. The NY ARTS Magazine, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Austin Chronicle, the Albuquerque Journal, and Philadelphia Today have featured her work. She currently lives and works in Tallahassee where she is an Associate Professor of Painting and Drawing at Florida State University.
Frank Oriti was born in 1983 and raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. He earned his B.F.A. in Two-Dimensional Studies from Bowling Green State University in 2006 and returned to his hometown shortly after. For the next year and a half he worked at one of Cleveland's steel mills and continued painting in his spare time. In the fall of 2008, Oriti headed to Ohio University where he began creating work inspired by his past experience in the blue-collar work force. He graduated with his M.F.A. in Painting in 2011. In 2013, Oriti was featured in The New York Times and was also the recipient of the Cleveland Arts Prize Emerging Artist Award. Recently, his work was featured in the prestigious BP Portrait Award in London's National Portrait Gallery. He currently lives and works in Cleveland, Ohio.
