text: The Connecticut Supreme Court is expected to rule this morning on whether a lower court judge was correct when he declared serial killer Michael Ross competent. The high court heard arguments on the matter yesterday. Ross is scheduled to die by lethal injection on January 26th and has decided not to appeal his death sentence. State public defenders say they have been denied a chance to present evidence that Ross is suicidal. No inmate has been put to death in Connecticut since 1960. WFCR's Av Harris reports.

Skip to comments.Reid: 'Laughable' for Romney to think Dems will pass his agenda (premeditated gridlock)

Reid: 'Laughable' for Romney to think Dems will pass his agenda
By Mike Lillis - 11/02/12 03:56 PM ET
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned Mitt Romney this week that upper-chamber Democrats would be no rubber stamp for Republican ideals if the GOP contender wins the White House next Tuesday.
The Nevada Democrat is pushing back against Romney's claims that he's better able to break Washington's partisan gridlock because he could work with congressional Democrats in ways President Obama wasn't able to work with Republicans.
The notion of working across the aisle has emerged as a key selling point for Romney, one that's won him a number of newspaper endorsements in recent weeks.
Reid on Friday warned that those endorsements might have been premature.
Mitt Romneys fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," Reid said in a statement, referring to Romney's description of his own political leanings during the GOP primaries. "In fact, Mitt Romneys Tea Party agenda has already been rejected in the Senate."
Reid noted that Senate Democrats this year have already shot down a number of proposals Romney has supported on the campaign trail, including GOP efforts to repeal Obama's healthcare reforms, cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans and eliminate the birth-control mandate for most employers.
Romney, Reid charged, has demonstrated that he lacks the courage to stand up to the Tea Party, kowtowing to their demands time and again."
"There is nothing in Mitt Romneys record to suggest he would act any differently as president," Reid added.
All sides agree that the emergence of entrenched partisanship on Capitol Hill in recent years has created a volatile political environment that's discouraged compromise and threatened the ability of Congress to perform even its most basic functions. Both parties have blamed the other for the gridlock, with GOP leaders accusing Obama of refusing to reach across the aisle and Democrats countering that Republican leaders have made defeating Obama their highest priority.
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told National Journal just before the 2010 elections.
Romney, on the campaign trail, has packaged himself as the leader who could break the gridlock, arguing that, as governor of Massachusetts a decade ago, he was able to work with Democratic state leaders to get things done.
That strategy has paid dividends, as Iowa's Des Moines Register and the Detroit News have endorsed Romney in recent days, citing his record as a bipartisan dealmaker.
"Which candidate could forge the compromises in Congress to achieve these goals [of job creation and economic recovery]?" the Register's editorial board wrote last week. "When the question is framed in those terms, Mitt Romney emerges the stronger candidate."
Reid, however, disputes the notion that Romney has a good record of bipartisanship, saying the former Massachusetts governor "had a terrible relationship with Democrats" a dynamic Reid predicts will continue if Romney wins the White House.
"In the near-decade that Mitt Romney has spent running for president, both his words and his actions have shown that pleasing the far right is more important to him than working across the aisle," Reid added. Senate Democrats are committed to defending the middle class, and we will do everything in our power to defend them against Mitt Romneys Tea Party agenda.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Reid's comments showed that the Senate majority leader recognized Romney's "momentum."
"While Senator Reid might want to continue Washington politics as usual, I'm confident that there are many Democrats who value balancing the budget, reducing burdensome regulations, investing in U.S. energy resources and will be willing to work with Governor Romney to help grow our stagnant economy," Priebus said in a statement.
There are few creatures on this planet more odious and loathsome than grungy Harry..
Hey Harry, the village of Searchlight,NV is looking for its idiot.
This a-hole has wasted five years of America's time.
Harry made him look like even more of a jack*ss than usual yesterday. He probably also doomed a few Democratic Senate candidates. Nice work, Harry.
Harry made himself look like even more of a jack*ss than usual yesterday. He probably also doomed a few Democratic Senate candidates. Nice work, Harry.
Reid won't be in charge of the Senate after Nov.6th.
IIRC, Reid got in only by voter fraud.
This is precisely why its important to win control of the Senate. Harry Reid can join Nazi Pelosi at the back of the bus. What a disgusting excuse for a human being.
There are few creatures on this planet more odious and loathsome than grungy Harry..
Dingy Harry is just Schmuckie Schumer's sock puppet.
Gridlock sounds better to me than 4 more years of Maobama.
A SORDID attempt by dirty Harry to fire up the whacko Dem base so they will turn out and vote. The problem is that the Whacko dem base has been whacked off so much by Obama that they are whacked out.After all, Obama has been campaigning for 4 years instead of doing his job.Even dirty Harry is whacked out.
I'll give odds that Mitt has a plan to deal with Reid and other obstructionists. If I were Mitt, I'd do just like J. Edgar did - build a dossier on everyone in Congress, then call in the obstructionists one by one for a little tété a tété.
Its laughable for Reid to think that the people will allow him to keep his job if he acts like a child instead of a Senator........
For Reid to make such comments not having worked with Romney, means to me Harry Reid needs to step down.
That's Okay Senator Reid. We don't need the Senate. If you don't pass our budget, Romney can do what Obama does; implement his own budget.
You may remember, it takes a House vote to indict him for Impeachement, so you can forget that sh!t.. You probably could hold some Senate hearings or such, but I'm guessing he could have the power turned off for that, too.
He can also instruct the IRS to NOT enforce ANY Obamacare provisions just like Obama instructed the DOJ and DHS not to prosecute any illegal immigration..
He can do this for the 8 years he'll be in office, or as long as it takes to throw your ass and those other asshat Democrats that keep you in control there, too.
Good luck Mr. Majority Leader.
my guess is Romney will just NOT INVITE dingy to the party, and just invite those who care about the country, and emasculate this asshole
That's only fair. I seem to recall the Clintons using the IRS as a weapon. . . turnabout is fair play. ..
All that gridlock could be busted by just denying a particulor Senator's money to the folks back home. Need that Transportation money? Nope, that must go to Alaska for National Security reasons.
And we all know Reid has a terrific record of telling the truth about Romney.
(I shouldn't have to post the sarcasm tag.)
Make sure he has his name tag on his jacket when he leaves Washington
Hi my name is
Harry Ried
I live on 30 camel court
Benghazi Afganistan
Our only salvation is if we the people shock and awe our Congress critters into action to save our republic.
Unless the pressure is such that rat Senators force Dingy Harry to compromise, our slide into tyranny will continue.
The real work of conservatives will begin next Wednesday, November 7. At that time, we must begin unrelenting pressure on Congress to reverse the damage done by Obama and his rats.
Bold talk for the future minority leader
I think Reid has dementia
There's probably a cell waiting for Harry...
This is exactly what it will take- giving Democrats a double dose of their own lawlessness until they see why we are supposed to be a nation of laws.
The party of "No."
So he's basically saying Romney is going to get elected. Gotta love this lib meltdown. It's only just begun.
Wait until after the election - they'll be pointing not fingers, but bayonets, at each other.
The way to end gridlock is to eliminate the offending vehicles blocking traffic
It would be fun to see how Hairy Reed would react if Romney decided to play Bronco Bama-ball with the Dems. They and the MSM would be squealing like piglets!
I interpret his remarks that he's conceded the presidential election to Mitt but assumes they will keep the Senate.
I think this jerk is in for a surprise.
Any democrats running for senate have a huge anchor tied to their neck that will send them to the bottom. That anchor is obama.
Our state (ND) senate race was predicted to go democrat, but effective advertising tied that anchor to the candidates neck and now predicted by Politico to lose. So the DNC has pulled staffing support and called upon our states dem staff to help out in Iowa. Pure panic!
If the same effective advertising is in other states with Senate races, Republicans will have the same power obama had in 2008.
My thoughts too. This is at least the second time he has mentioned what would happen with Romney as President. Reid clearly believes that Romney is going to win the Presidency.
Well isn't that nice of you Harry. Mitt then can declare everything by executive order and just point to how obama took care of things.....
I hope Romney has a list of names. I don't imagine there are any "progressives" on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have invited you to this meeting because I think you are good people who have the best interests of America in your hearts. But your party leadership and a good number of your colleagues appear to have other interests. Out of party loyalty or because of pressure from your leadership, you may have voted in ways you know you should not have voted.
If I have not judged you correctly, if you really are on their side, you may leave. I believe they are holding their own meeting right now to determine how to keep their own interests above those of this country and how to prevent our success.
If you stay, you agree that we must move together to return this country to the greatness it has maintained for so many years."
I don't know about that. He won by 5 points. I say the voters in Nevada are stupid as the reason moreso.
For Reid to make such comments not having worked with Romney, means to me Harry Reid needs to step down.
No because McConnell said that his chief goal is to make Obama a one-term President. This is all politics. I don't want the liberals to start calling for Republicans to step down the next time a Republican says something similar when we have Democratic President.
Yes, he's getting prepared for the future.
He will NEVER do it... but Mitt should... this should be what takes the election over the line and scores for America... but he will never do it.
Lord we pray humble this arrogant man Harry Reid for his own good and remove him as Senate majority leader.
Then we need to take the Senate and unseat Harry.
Reid may have trouble carrying out his threats... the dems will surely take away his leadership position once the pubbies gain the majority.
It's laughable to think that Reid will have a damned thing to say about it.
Thanks Libloather.
A strong President could easily handle Reid. As head of the exective branch sequester all federal funds being sent to Nevada. You have to punish the voters for their sins until they sin no more.
First Vince Flynn novel I read involves a sniper taking out certain senators. That's my favorite Vince Flynn nove.
If Republicans really wanted to take back the Senate they should have run ads in states like MO and MT, with Harry Reed's face and some of his choicer quotes and say, "Do you REALLY want this guy back as Senate Majority Leader?"
What a hate-filled little weasel. He can't keep his foul mouth shut for even a few days. Harry should keep in mind that mid-term elections will be held in 2014, the mid-terms always providing another good opportunity to review the performance of both houses of Congress.

Yes, you.
You may think it's only for Boy Scouts, only for the most hardcore outdoorsman, only for the fittest of the fit. But you are mistaken.
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama, in partnership with the Alabama Wildlife Federation, are putting together a backpacking program where interested girls can learn all about the skills, equipment and techniques of hiking the great outdoors. We will have a few meetings to train, learn skills and earn badges. The program will then culminate in an overnight backpacking trip.
The goals of this program are to encourage team building skills, leadership skills, outdoor skills, environmental education and physical fitness.
Ages: 7th and 8th grade Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors
If you think your Girl Scout will be interested, talk with her about it. If you think you know nothing about the sport, call me up or look it up on the web or in books.
Please contact me if you are interested, so I can start planning our meetings!

Yes, backpacking may be challenging. But think about this:
Courage is when you try even though you are afraid. Confidence is something you gain little by little when you tackle an obstacle that is new and scary. Character is who you become once you have come out the other side, having conquered your fears and accomplished more than you ever thought possible.

Platt dampens Balotelli Milan link
Manchester City have again insisted Mario Balotelli is still their player despite yet more rumours linking the striker with AC Milan.
- Related Content
9. Mario Balotelli
|16 (2)
City have repeatedly denied the 22-year-old is poised to leave the Etihad Stadium throughout the January transfer window.
Yet that has not stopped the speculation concerning the Italian, which has regularly been fuelled by senior figures at the San Siro.
The latest stories have suggested discussions between the clubs over a possible move before Thursday's deadline have begun and that the controversial Balotelli has already held a leaving party.
But City manager Roberto Mancini has been highly dismissive of all the speculation and his assistant David Platt expressed a similar attitude as he met the media to preview the midweek trip to QPR.
Platt said: "I saw that speculation yesterday but I've not heard anything.
"It's a shame Robbie's not here. He might know more than me but as far as we are concerned I think he is still a Manchester City player.
"I don't think there is anything is going to happen."
When asked if he was aware of any negotiations between clubs or the player, Platt said: "I'm not.
"I can only go off what you know and I have seen. I know exactly the same as you, which is speculation."
Platt was also unsure whether City would be making any moves into the transfer market this week.
City do have defensive problems with captain Vincent Kompany injured and Kolo Toure at the African Nations Cup but that is only a short-term issue.
Platt said: "Fortunately we'll have a press conference on Friday and we won't have to talk about speculation - and that is what it is. I literally don't know anything.
"We have said before the market in January is very difficult. Even if you are planning to get somebody in it is very difficult to do so.
"With it being such a difficult market, you can't start stepping into it willy-nilly.
"We are at Manchester City - a top club that competes for top trophies.
"As a result of that you can't just go out and get anybody and think they are going to fill the gap that somebody leaves.
"That gap Vinny has left could be a fortnight, it could be three weeks.
"It is not a six-month gap, something ridiculous we feel we can't do with the squad we have available."
Kompany limped off in the first half of Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at Stoke
after suffering a calf strain, a problem that has blighted the 26-year-old in the past.
He has definitely been ruled out of the Barclays Premier League game at Loftus Road and is also doubtful for Sunday's home clash with Liverpool.
Platt said: "My experience of calf strains would be no chance for tomorrow, Liverpool a big doubt with an outside chance, but that would depend on the gravity of it.
"In all honesty you're probably looking at the game after that being a potential realistic target."
City's choices at centre-back could be further limited if Matija Nastasic, who missed the game at Stoke, does not overcome a minor knee problem.
Teenager Karim Rekik, who was an unused substitute at the weekend, is a potential option to play alongside Joleon Lescott while midfielders Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell could be used as stop-gap measures. Alternatively, City could again deploy a three-man back line.
With leaders Manchester United not in action until Wednesday, the game offers City the chance to put their rivals under more pressure by cutting their lead at the top to two points.
City will travel as firm favourites with QPR five points adrift of safety at the foot of the table but Platt expects Harry Redknapp's men to respond after their shock FA loss to MK Dons.
He said: "They have started to amass points.
"Harry is not stupid, he knows a point here and there with the others losing around you gives you something to hold on to.
"It is a difficult game - always is, more so under the lights, tight ground.
"The team is likely to be completely different from the cup game but I am sure they will want to bounce back."

The Land
Cities & Suburbs
Boom & Bust
Patriotic Duty
At Ease
Theme: The Land
Artist: Arthur STREETON
Birth/Death: 1867–1943
Title: Land of the Golden Fleece
Credit Line: Bequest of Henriette von Dallwitz and of Richard Paul in honour of his father Dr Oscar Paul 1965. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
On 4 December 1926, Arthur Streeton wrote from Willaura, Victoria:
'I'm away here painting among the sheep and the red gums, with the grand mass of the Grampians towering up behind.'
Arthur Streeton's The Land of the Golden Fleece celebrates Australia as a blue and gold paradise. By 1926 the pain of the war years had begun to diminish, and Australians could dream of future greatness, of a southern land of many millions, rivalling America and surpassing the exhausted lands of Europe. There are three versions of Land of the Golden Fleece. The brushwork in this version is particularly fresh and varied. The composition is understated. Random groups of eucalypt, a windmill, a blue pond and a flock of sheep lead the eye to Mt William rising in the distance.
This is more than just a decorative landscape bathed in blue and gold. Streeton has painted a postwar Australian landscape full of national pride, prosperity and potential. The title of the painting further classicises the Australian bush and makes heroes of the colonists who occupied it.

Birthday Party Murder (Lucy Stone Mystery #9)
- Brief Synopsis:
- Lucy's fourteen-year-old daughter wants to have a co-ed slumber party. The town librarian is celebrating her ninetieth birthday, but will she survive her long lost relatives to attend the party?
- Long Synopsis:
- The whole town of Tinker's Cove is looking forward to the celebration marking former librarian Julia Ward Howe Tilley's ninetieth birthday. Lucy Stone, Miss Tilley's closest friend, dreamed up the party idea-at about the same time she decided she's not getting old without a fight. Noticing crow's feet and a potential jelly belly, she's resolved to exercise more and purchase some heavy-duty wrinkle cream, asap! That sounds like a plan-until Lucy realizes her daughter's fourteenth birthday bash, a coed sleepover, may turn her hair white overnight. What was she thinking when she agreed to let Sara have the party? Obviously she wasn't thinking about the hormonal rampages of young teens. On her mind, instead, was the shocking death of Sherman Cobb, the town's oldest attorney, an apparent suicide. His law partner, however, thinks Sherman was murdered. Poking about in Sherman's papers, Lucy turns up an intriguing tie between the dead man and Miss Tilley. Meanwhile Miss Tilley's own past has come back to haunt her in the form of a mysterious niece named Shirley and a biker great nephew named Snake. Soon no one can get to see the elderly librarian because the brash, bossy Shirley says she's "failing." Is Miss Tilley in grave danger? Will Sara's party turn out to be a scandal? Now, as a killer's ruthless plan rushes toward a conclusion, Lucy needs answers fast-or else she and Miss Tilley won't live long enough to make a wish and blow out the candles on this year's birthday cake...

David Clarkson is a good hockey player
Cam Charron
July 05 2013 01:45PM
When looking at the David Clarkson deal, I think it's important to take into consideration the contract length more than the salary cap hit or the quality of the player. The objective fact of the matter is that the Leafs paid too many years for a player past his prime and relatively unproven.
If you just looked at Clarkson's season on statistics website Behind the Net, you'll find a player that led the New Jersey Devils in Corsi, doing it with even competition and zone starts. If you look at the previous season, you'll find a player that was slightly above average in Corsi at +2.7 facing even competition and zone starts.
In both seasons, Clarkson's PDO is below 1000 and this is worth pointing out. Clarkson has scored 45 goals in the last two seasons. He is one of 50 players to score at least 40 goals the last two seasons, and he has done so taking 3.19 shots per game (15th of the 50) and hasn't needed a real huge shooting percentage to get it done. At just 11.0%, Clarkson is 44th in shooting percentage.
So you can make the argument that Clarkson is actually a pretty good player that has even gotten unlucky over the last two seasons. His shot rate is absurd, and he is one of the best players in the NHL at putting pucks on net. That was identified as something that was trending upwards when John Fischer at In Lou We Trust was looking at Clarkson during the Devils' Stanley Cup Finals season:
Clarkson's getting shots on net at a rate of approximately 2.72 shots per game. That's a higher rate than ever before in his career, even more so than during a 7 game stint back in 2006-07. It's the third highest shooting rate on the team behind Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk. Moreover, it's a rate that has been rising in each of his last four seasons. While Clarkson's shooting percentage may cool off, this is likely going to remain more consistent throughout the season. For better or worse, Clarkson loves to fire away when he's got the puck instead of looking for a pass. That's not going to change, so if he stays healthy, then he has a shot at breaking 200 shots. Whether that will lead to 20 goals (definitely possible) or his current pace of 31 (not quite so likely) remains to be seen.
Clarkson did end up on that 31-goal pace, finishing with 30 during the 2012 season. One of the things you note when looking at Clarkson is that he's a player that's been trending upwards over the last five seasons, taking more shots and scoring more goals.
But the issue with Clarkson is that he's not a particularly good shooter. Especially for a player that drives the net a lot, most of Clarkson's shots don't end up in the back of the net, and Clarkson's 44th-out-of-50 performance shooting the puck over the last two seasons is no anomaly. If you look at two-year blocks of time, you'll see that Clarkson had a brief blip when he was 7th on the New Jersey Devils' regular forwards in shooting percentage. His goals per 60 went from mid-range up to the top of the Devils' lineup:
|Two-year Block
|Shot %
|Corsi %
|.718 (5th)
|9.44 (5th)
|7.61% (9th)
|.501 (9th)
|.814 (4th)
|9.26 (2nd)
|8.80% (7th)
|.485 (8th)
|.676 (6th)
|10.14 (2nd)
|6.67% (7th)
|.500 (9th)
|.874 (3rd)
|10.55 (1st)
|8.29% (7th)
|.515 (7th)
|.941 (1st)
|10.93 (1st)
|8.61% (8th)
|.551 (3rd)
(source: stats.hockeyanalysis.com)
Clarkson played alongside Adam Henrique between 2011 and 2013, and I'm not sure that the Leafs have a centreman on the roster as good as Adam Henrique, depending on where Nazem Kadri falls on the development side this summer. The Devils mix up their roster possibly more than any other team, and Clarkson didn't exactly have regular linemates kicking around.
Together with Patrik Elias, Clarkson's most common linemate between 2008 and 2013, the Devils had a 58.1% Corsi rate. But Clarkson was just 50.7% away from Elias compared to 54.8% for Elias. While I'm confident in suggesting those two had synergy, it appears the play was mostly being driven by Elias.
With Henrique? Henrique had a 52.7% Corsi rate away from Clarkson, while Clarkson was 51.7% away from Henrique. Together, they were 55.3%. Again, some synergy, but the play is mostly being driven by an opposite player on the line.
Zach Parise I would say is the third best linemate that he's had. Those two did not work together well at all (46.2%) but Parise is a 54.8% away from Clarkson while Clarkson is just a 52.4% away from Parise.
(source: stats.hockeyanalysis.com)
So while Clarkson's Corsi has bounced around a bit, I think that's mostly due to a linemate shuffle. I'm quite certain that Kadri has some modicum of play-driving ability, and that should be a fun combination for Leafs fans if they're put together on the team's second line for two seasons. But Kadri is probably not one of the few players that can drive his linemates' shooting percentages, and it's a combination that should result in a lot of goals for and a lot of Corsis, but is it one worth committing to?
One of the interesting things I found in my post forecasting David Clarkson's future is that shooting percentages for top scorers aged 26-28 falls off by a percentage point when they hit ages 29 to 32. While Clarkson shoots a lot, I worry about Clarkson not being able to put the puck into the net very much, or at least enough that makes his puck possession ability that is over 50% not worth all that much more in the way of goals, particularly if he's going to be taking shots from a more offensively gifted Nazem Kadri.
So we'll see what happens. I like Clarkson between ages 30 and 32 because he's shown a lot of improvement past the age when a player's prime usually ends, but I'm not confident that he'll age like fine wine. Eventually, he won't be a guy with an elevated shot rate that results in keeping his team above even in goals when he's on the ice, and the Leafs have probably bought multiple years of "old David Clarkson".
That's why I don't like the deal. Nothing against Clarkson or the salary cap hit, but the term is just too much to handle. Small mistakes add up, and Clarkson's contract four or five years from today is going to be a lot more expensive than the remaining money the team is paying on the Darcy Tucker and Colby Armstrong buyouts.
you and your corsi crap all the time . if the player is a good player and plays a tyle your team needs and how well he meshes with his line mates is what u look at not a stupid corsi
I mostly agree. I like Clarkson and am not all that against the cap hit. Just would have preferred it much more if it was 5 years not 7 years but cap might rise a lot over next 5 years so may not be all that bad.
July 05 2013, 02:26PM
So how do you "look at" how he meshes with linemates he hasn't played with yet? Every signing should be trial and error?
And what of Cam's earlier posts, when he showed how Grabovski had better chemistry with Kessel than Bozak did...that's "playing with your teammates" kind of stuff people seem willing to ignore when it comes to Bozak.
I'd say there is a value in toughness and grit, especially in the playoffs. And that's part of what Clarkson brings.
July 05 2013, 04:22PM
I think I'd also be worried about a goal scorer that got it done on volume and probably wasn't pushing play all that much himself coming to a team that as well established problems getting offensive zone time.
Maybe his offensive contribution evaporates outside of a strong possession system like New Jersey has.
I wont make judgments on Clarkson until after next season whether he's worth 5.5 mil and 7 yrs. Sure in Jersey he would be, but new team and teammates hes proved nothing here yet. Could go either way.
@Stephan Cooper
According to Mark Fraser, the New Jersey/Toronto systems are pretty much the same. The execution on the other hand....
@Blake Murphy
You can't, that's the thing. This is one of the intangibles that Cam fairly often fails to recognize. I understand that stats are his way of reporting and making sense of the player, but stats aren't all.
I'm with TJ in saying that well, I feel Cam is a little overdrawn with the stats. Perhaps instead of looking at it one dimensional all the time he could add some variance in how he approaches his articles.
You Losers need to quit coming over to our Glorious Habs site...Hockey Inside Out and trolling. I will personally take care of all of you if you do it again.
Sorry Sir, We wont do it again.
How do count an emotion if it helps a player play above his normal status quo what do you call it. How do you mark it when he incites the rest of the team into a mob mentality driven focus determination to win. These have factors the announcers call them momentum or riding a hot streak, feeling the vibe, Osmosis by coaches one persons gets it and passes it on to teammates whatever you call it you wont find it on paper but you sure will see it in a game. That's why there are line juggling and such especially if 1 line is hot and another is not. No stat will say this guy can bring this to the table. Clarkson is a local boy playing for his hometown the energy and passion I hope what he brings will be similar to days of dougie Gilmour. He will be a fan favorite we all saw Lupuls hype the rejuvenation the excitement he brought past 2 seasons. Another Fiesty winger with talent and that hype is what Leafs need it brings stuff to players that no stat will show you. Positive thinking and a belief to win and compete and that's what has been in this city for a longtime. If the players didn't believe they were capable of competing why would anyone else. If players and coaches around the league say this team competes is tough and is contender I think I will take their word for it they are facing them on ice.
July 06 2013, 10:07AM
I like Clarkson just fine and expect to for a few more years until his contract holds the Leafs back.
All this talk of intangibles and character is really annoying me. What about Grabovski's intangibles? How many times over the last few years did we see him get concussed and not only keep playing but play better?
For several years, when Wilson played him in an offensive role, Grabbo, Kulemin and MacArthur were consistently the Leafs best line. It was obvious without looking at stats that they dominated their opposition in terms of possession. Also, he tried to fight the entire Habs roster, which is probably one of the most awesome thing I've ever seen.

Did a House Republican leader insult President Obama to his face, or not?
A Democratic senator says one did -- but the White House says no.
In a Facebook posting, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., wrote that "in a 'negotiation' meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told the president: 'I cannot even stand to look at you.' ... What are the chances of an honest conversation with someone who has just said something so disrespectful?"
Durbin did not name names.
Asked about that claim, White House spokesman Jay Carney said: "I looked into this and spoke with somebody who was in that meeting, and it did not happen."
After a follow-up question, Carney said: "My understanding is that, again, from a participant in the meeting, that that didn't happen."
Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, issued a statement: "Senator Durbin's accusation is a serious one, and it appears to have been invented out of thin air. The senator should disclose who told him this account of events, retract his reckless allegation immediately, and apologize."
Replied Durbin spokesman Max Gleischman: "Senator Durbin stands by his comments."

Mobile and Wireless: Motorola Razr M: Hands-On With Latest Android Smartphone
Motorola Droid Razr M
The Razr M runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich but will be upgraded to Jelly Bean later this year. Its 4.3-inch quarter-high-definition (qHD) Super AMOLED (active-matrix organic LED) Advanced display has a resolution of 540 by 960. It's now available for preorder from Verizon Wireless for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in contract and with a two-year contract.
Google-owned Motorolaa distinction made clear by the presence of Google Chairman Eric Schmidtintroduced three phones, the Razr M, the Razr HD and the Razr HD Maxx, at a Sept. 5 event in New York City. The latter two feature 4.7-inch displaysthe Maxx adds a super-duper batterywhile the Razr M features a 4.3-inch display and is arguably the device for Android fans who have lamented the challenge of holding or pocketing smartphones that have grown to roughly the size of gaming consoles. Motorola took its already-thin original Droid Razr and figured out how to remove essentially all of the border. The Razr M features its same display size but in a shorter, narrow form factor. Because we're used to borders being present, the Razr M is something of a surprise, if not a revelation, when turned on: a device that seems nearly as petite as some feature phones but with a display that offers 40 percent more screen area than the Apple iPhone 4S.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
It was a game featuring two second-place finishers in last season's state tournaments. It was a game featuring two teams that had been to the finals at state three times each in the past several years but this season it was all Emery as the Lady Spartans defeated the South Sevier Rams 66-45.
Although South Sevier has struggled early in this season as they replace several starters from last season's team, these South Sevier Rams lost a close game last season for the 2-A state championship to Richfield and had won the 2-A state championship the two previous seasons.
Emery had their game going from the outset as they quickly ran out to a 10-1 start and then led 21-3 late in the first quarter. Emery was equally efficient on both defense and offense and took the Rams out of their game. The first quarter was all Emery until Abbie Kay and Taylor Mann each picked up their second foul of the game and both went to the bench. South Sevier went on a 7-2 run to close out the period.
Abbie quickly scored six points on a 3-pointer, a basket and a free throw in the first quarter but then the period belonged to Taylor after that. It seemed that everything Mann tried worked as she had five baskets and a pair of free throws in the period and didn't miss a shot. Taylor is equally efficient away from the basket as well as in close.
In the second quarter, the Emery lead was cut to 10 points until Abbie and Taylor, both sitting on the bench with two fouls, returned to the game and helped the Spartans build their lead back to 18 points at 39-21. Taylor Mann finished the first half with 19 points. Tayler Jewkes ran the point well, got the ball down court against the Ram defense and quietly scored eight points on a pair of 3-pointers and another long shot.
In the second half, Emery came out of half-time motivated and went on a 12-2 run as the Emery team played great defense in taking away all open looks for the Rams. Emery built their lead to 30 points as they won the period 16-4 and led 55-25 after three periods. With Mann saddled with foul trouble, the rest of the team took on the scoring for Emery. Abbie scored six more points in the third quarter, Jewkes added another 3-pointer and Jenni Stinson had a pair of baskets.
The fourth quarter was mostly subs for both teams as South Sevier outscored Emery 20-11 in the final period to cut a little into the Spartan lead.
After the game, Head Coach Steven Gordon congratulated his team for coming to play, "That was a good win. We beat a good team tonight."
Mann finished the game with 20 points, five rebounds, two blocked shots, a steal and an assist. Kay finished with 14 points, seven rebounds, three steals and an assist. Jewkes had 11 points, two steals and two assists in the game.
Jessica Murray only scored two points but finished with six assists, four rebounds and a steal while guarding South Sevier's best player. Stinson scored eight points and pulled down a couple of rebounds.
Off the bench, Brooke Jensen scored six points and had three rebounds and three steals. Also scoring were Markette Tanner with two points, Shailee Stokes with two points and Jeridi Price with a point.
Emery finished with 13 steals in the ball game, 10 assists and 23 rebounds.
Emery will host Juan Diego tonight at the Spartan Center in the final pre-season game. Emery will start region play this Thursday as they host North Sanpete. Varsity games start at 7 p.m.

Spoiler!dammit i knew they would do that...... i have wanted too see ichigo v amagai since he first became part of the cast!!!!!!
"My Bakkoutou negates Zanpaktou abilities..." Talk about stupidly overpowered.
What a convenient way of not letting us see Genryuusai fight - even though he could still use kidou or whatever...
Ichigo uses Bankai in the next ep. Amagai's ability must have a limit of one person at a time in that case - or an oversight of the writers perhaps? Ichigo should be able to use his mask which is fair enough but bankai?
This assumes my limit theory is correct.
This filler is irritating the crap out of me. Lurichiyo being introduced was a largely pointless distraction which was only necessary for the involvement of Ichigo.
Ichigo calling Genryuusai gramps bothered me as well, I was half hoping that the old man would give Ichigo a Nanao-esque paralysis stare but that'd probably melt Ken, En and Luri in the process.
And look at Rukia, following Ichigo around like a faithful sidekick. She's losing her cool factor for me now - she just seems to accept all his decisions etc without so much as the slightest bit of resistance or questioning.
At least we got to find out the name of the First Squad lieutenant though. After all this time...
Man these fillers stink of something terriable wow how original lets just borrow the exact same plot form the orginal story line but make it crappy and whinny..and lets not forget yea the most powerful Captain just stands there like hes waiting for bus..... /sigh.. I dont know what part of Soul Society he comes from but when a man takes his shirt off to kick some ass he damn well better kick some ass!
What happened to this Ichigo & Bleach ?
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
yeah the writers really screwed the pooch here, which is a shame because I didn't think the fillers were that bad before this. But now amagai's bakkouto should shut down ichigo, but as seen in the preview, it doesn't so that once again ichigo has plot armor.
Also Ichigo shouldn't be able to use his hollow powers either without being banished or sentenced to execution like shinji and the rest. This entire episode has just been one big plot hole, and it looks like it's going to turn the rest of the arc into one too.
Yeah I totally agree with you guys. This has just been a long and pointless filler. Im really looking forward to seeing this filler ending since it makes no seens at all.
Would it not be a better idea to use the fillers to explain the background for all the captains...
Glad I didn't watch the filler eps reading stuff like this .

I'm going to start off with a bang here. Want to know the secret to making a successful mango salsa with intense mango flavor and crunch?
Counterintuitive, no? But it works wonders.
The idea is that you get a wonderfully ripe mango with an intense flavor profile. To make up for the lack of crunch that you'd find in a slightly less ripe mango, you add chunks of a mild-tasting apple. The apple gives the salsa a nice texture without overpowering the mango flavor that you're going for. It also holds up overnight.
I'm brilliant, for sure.
And kind of lucky. The apple solution was the result of a half-empty fridge and not enough salsa.
Anyway, besides being great with chips, my mango salsa with apples is also a great salad dressing. I dumped it on top of greens, sliced radishes and avocados, grilled shrimp, and then sprinkled it with a little cotija cheese and a squeeze of lime.
As a side note, I don't own a grill, so after I cooked the shrimp 90% through, I tossed them on a skewer and "grilled" them over the open flame of my gas stove. Faux grill marks were necessary for the pictures.
There is a make-food-for-blog fest waiting to happen this weekend, and it's being sponsored by my mother and the letters Y, U and M.
1 1/3 cup diced ripe mango
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced mild apple
1/3 cup light packed cilantro, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
juice of 1 lime
kosher salt
Mix, stir in juice, salt to taste. Adjust onion and cilantro if need be.

T.J. Oshie's always been a bit of a rock star during his NHL career. Allegedly, that behavior extends to his canine friends – because what's more rock star than trashing a penthouse, right?
The ownership group for Buckingham Apartments is suing the St. Louis Blues star, claiming that Oshie's dogs did $11,026.92 in damages to the penthouse apartment, and specifically the penthouse patio area where Oshie allegedly kept his dogs.
From Courthouse News Services:
"Defendant's unit is commonly referred to as a 'penthouse,' which is located on the top of the building and has an outdoor patio which opens off of the main living area through four (4) large Kolbe custom made window/door units, giving a panoramic view of the City of St. Louis skyline," the complaint states.
"Defendant, during the lease term, maintained two dogs which he customarily kept locked out onto the patio. During defendant's tenancy, said dogs scratched and/or chewed on the custom screens, causing them to suffer irreparable damage necessitating the need for their replacement."
So, in other words, they acted like dogs.
"Under the terms of the lease, defendant was fully responsible and liable for any and all injury done to the apartment unit or building and in the event the defendant did not leave the apartment in the same condition in which it was received, plaintiff is entitled to recover all of its damages plus fifteen percent (15 percent) overhead to put the lease premises back to its original condition, minus reasonable wear and tear," the complaint states.
Couldn't he just call in Blues Official Dog Whisperer David Backes to calm the pooches down?
This would be the strangest dog-related T.J. Oshie story in St. Louis history, were it not for the odd trend three years ago when upwards of 30 people named their dogs "Oshie" in tribute to him.

The James Reimer "clutch" debate
Cam Charron
July 17 2013 10:42AM
Tim Leiweke's comments about his goaltenders are curious:
"I don't know the one we inherited (James Reimer). If the one we inherited is anything like the one we're bringing in, we have the best tandem of goalkeepers in the NHL."
First off, it doesn't take a math degree to note that James Reimer has the better career than Jonathan Bernier so far. Perhaps Leiweke got "the one we inherited" mixed up with "the one we're bringing in" since the goalie that Leiweke inherited has twice the number of starts and a save rate three points higher despite the two being the same age.
I'm going to have to end up buying a James Reimer jersey at the end of this summer. I've darkened a tonne of pixels about the benefits of Reimer in my two years writing here, and one argument consistently pops up.
@mirtle @camcharron The stats dont reiterate how Reimer plays in clutch moments and late in periods, when he struggles. Bernier was needed— Matt Graham (@Mattman0909) July 15, 2013
Then there's this train-wreck in the press defending the Bernier acquisition:
You can look at the numbers and make an argument that Reimer is just fine as a No. 1. But about that choke job in Boston? Reimer was the rebound-ejecting struggler who let all those pucks get past him as the Bruins rallied from 4-1 down midway through the third period to score the unlikely overtime victory. [Toronto Star]
There's really no way to quantify a goaltender's "clutch" ability. People like to look at Stanley Cups (of which Bernier has the same number as Reimer as a starter) or wins (of which Reimer has more) but ultimately, you can't really predict which goalie will impact the playoffs to a large degree.
The Chicago Blackhawks won this season with Corey Crawford in net, who allowed this goal in overtime and this goal in overtime and this goal in overtime. Yet Crawford, like Reimer, is a goaltender with a high save rate that takes a disproportionate amount of abuse because
some people don't know how to evaluate goaltenders it's difficult to evaluate goaltenders.
Tuukka Rask looked unstoppable—minus this one miscue—through almost all of the postseason, and wound up with the goat horns after Chicago tallied twice in 17 seconds to take the season's final game. Tuukka Rask looked unstoppable, despite the last time he was a starter in the playoffs his team blew a 3-0 series lead.
There's a reflex among sports fans and commetators to use "championships" as a barometer for the quality of an individual player, when those should be looked at the end of a career and not in the middle. There is zero predictive value in looking at past champions to determine future champions. The Chicago Blackhawks are as close as we'll get to a dynasty in this day and age because they've won twice *with the same core*. They're the only team to have won two Stanley Cups since 2000.
The Leafs playoff performance should not be cited if you're trying to suggest there are areas the team can improve. Not to say that there aren't areas the team can improve, but the playoff Leafs in Games 4, 5, 6 and 7 was the best we saw of the Leafs all season, the Game 7 blow-up notwithstanding.
As an example, here's an old Pierre LeBrun article I found discussing a young goaltender. Try and guess who it is before clicking on the link:
In his first NHL playoff series last spring he gave up 21 goals in six games to [team], his .884 save percentage and 3.50 goals-against average from that series giving him pause for thought entering the offseason.
"It was a disappointing end to the season last year, and you want to be better than that," [Goalie] told ESPN.com this weekend.
Two years later, that young goaltender was the same one that lifted the Conn Smythe Trophy, Stanley Cup, and signed a 10-year extension with his team. He was the same young goaltender that beat out Jonathan Bernier for the starting job in Los Angeles.
It's tough to predict the future. It's even tougher to predict if you restrict your sample size to the playoffs, or restrict your knowledge of goaltenders in the organization. Add to the fact that Dave Nonis and Leiweke both appear to have far too much faith in Randy Carlyle's system when *poof* there's little evidence to support the theory that coaches contribute to a goaltender's save percentage numbers.
I'm afraid the Bernier thing is just the tip of the iceberg.
MLSE's motto should be post hoc ergo propter hoc. There seems to be no serious effort on the part of ownership to figure out how to get this team winning games. Instead, they seem to look at whoever won last, hire the guy who won there, and then step back and enthusiastically endorse the Brian Burke/Anaheim/Leiweke/Los Angeles "system" without knowing what the system is. And then, inevitably, they fire him 4 years later, bring in the next "winner" and then "change the culture." Can't wait for the Florida system.
From that Star interview, three worrisome trends are evident:
(1) Under Leiweke, player transactions are not conducted at arm's length. Bodie was signed because he's Leiweke's son in law. Bernier was brought in because Leiweke knows him personally as a good goalie - regardless of the fact that the Leafs had a perfectly fine goaltending tandem and no cap space.
(2) Leiweke is a master self-promoter. David Stern backhand compliments him as a "P.T. Barnum." The reporter feels himself getting brainwashed under the force of Leiweke's "Clintonian" affect. He promises grand things, while actually accomplishing only cosmetic changes.
(3) He thinks Dave Nonis is "on the same page" as him, and that's why he's extending him. Never mind that Nonis hasn't done anything yet, much less done anything well. He's met Nonis, and they got along swimmingly. This is faint praise indeed, considering that the only reason Nonis still has a job is that he gets along better with the suits than Brian Burke.
This is an organization that doesn't care about process. Doesn't care about results. All it cares about is the promise of results.
July 17 2013, 11:15AM
I have to agree with you Cam. As most of us have mentioned, Reimer is the first goalie since Belfour where I've actually had faith he wouldn't poop the bed completely.
Sure, James isn't 100% guilt free of the game 7 meltdown, but I just can't wrap my head around the fact that goaltending is where they tried to improve over making some moves to make the back end that much better.
With Randy's collapse system, you'd think that having a solid core of defenders would be higher on the priority list than even a 1C.....
Good thing I'm still not in my late 30's yet or this off-season so far would have given me a heart attack!
I find it bizarre you link a Feschuk article claiming that Reimer choked with Leiweke's comments.
One has nothing to do with the other. That is some shaky journalism there. Maybe I'm reading too much into what you wrote and if so I apoligize, but you seem to be lining up the firing squad against Leiweke.
I'm pretty sure you (or whoever "finished your work") used n as the degrees of freedom instead of n-1. So a 37% chance that results are due to random chance under Tippet and 59% under Hitchcock (the author of that article mixed the names up when stating the results).
I also really don't understand why you would include goalies who faced around 30 shots. You're going to have to come up with a good explanation for that, because obviously X^2 will be lower for a goalie who faced 30 shots than for a goalie who faced 5000.
Using just goalies who faced over 1000 shots, I get a 4% chance that results are due to random chance under Tippet and a 15% chance that results are due to random chance under Hitchcock. So...yeah.
^I realized that it was garret9 who did the majority of the work, but my points still stand. It's a very flawed statistical analysis.
@Cam Charron
In a chi-squared test, each sample is essentially weighted equally.
Okay, that looks way more reasonable after the edit.
He's still mixing up Hitchcock/Tippett throughout the piece though. Maybe I'll have to suck it up and make a SBNation account.
@Badger M
I really am not that impressed with Reimer's body work and can see him with a new license plates after we just acquired a newer better model.
Allez Y Habitantssssssssssssss Wrahahahahah I Am the Troll!! Laffs suck
Reimer is a great young goalie... I think Bernier could be as well. What's so wrong with having both - and still at a relatively low price??
July 18 2013, 03:06PM
He's still mixing up Hitchcock/Tippett throughout the piece though. Maybe I'll have to suck it up and make a SBNation account.
Just a copy paste error for placing the two second tables when doing the edit.
Fixed it though.
Not mixing up the two.

Dyson Dyson AM07 Tower Fan
Dyson Cool™ AM07 Tower Fan White/Silver.
Powerful air projection. No blades.
The Dyson Cool AM07 Tower Fan generates smooth, powerful airflow for personal cooling. Like all Dyson bladeless fans, it uses Air Multiplier™ technology to draw in surrounding air, creating powerful air projection.

Portraits accepted by artist on commission basis.
Welcome! My name is Daune Sheri. I am an accomplished portrait artist, with nearly 18 years experience in portraiture. My studies are created in a private home studio in Brooklyn, CT.
I specialize in highly detailed, traditionally hand drawn and painted portraits, with my main focus being the emotive and figurative studies of children, brides and pets. Being a diverse artist, I work in the traditional medium of pastel, colored pencil, graphite pencil and ink. My gallery offers only a few of the custom works I have undertaken over the years.
When you commission your portrait from me, you can feel confident I will provide you with a portrait that will touch your heart for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Tarra Perfect fit Color is true to picture, fit is perfect as I wear a medium/34, and I just love the feel of the fabric. August 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by sport not well fitting There is no bra liner and unless you have a large cup size, will fit very loosely in the chest area. Don't plan on wearing this for anything other than walking. There is zero support. Had to return. June 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by momo Note to buyer This a a pretty top because of the cris-cross design in the front and the pink color is vibrant against the black. The one thing I was disappointed with beside the quality of the fabric is that there is no bra lining like the usual bebe sport tanks. You don't get any support for intensive activities. It's a nice and different design but defeats the purpose of being a "sport" tank. I only recommend for light activities such as walking. June 21, 2013
