A chance discovery by a Utah Division of Wildlife Resources conservation officer has led to a relic of the past in Range Creek.
The artifact will be displayed near the famous Pilling Figurines at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum in Price.
"I saw there was a granary or habitation site on a cliff so I hiked up to it and was trying to get around on a small ledge that led to it," explained Alan Green on Dec. 16.
Green, other DWR personnel, archaeologists, museum representatives and a Ute Indian tribal councilman drove to the site of the discovery on Saturday.
"I crawled around one narrow outcropping and looked at the ledge and decided to turn back. As I turned around, there it was, lodged in a crack in the rock right in front of me. I had passed it and hadn't seen it, but it sure was obvious as I turned to go back," continued Green.
The object the DWR officer had spotted was an ancient 27-inch long flute. When Green reported the discovery to his superiors and fellow officers, a group of DWR personnel went to the site to decide what to do about the flute.
The initial discovery took place in late fall. While the flute may have been lodged in the rocks for up to a thousand years, officials were concerned about what could happen to the relic during the winter or in the next couple of months until seasonal snows closed the canyon.
DWR personnel contacted the individuals involved in the purchase and creation of the Range Creek protection area three years ago.
When the state secured the money to purchase the area from rancher Waldo Wilcox, few officials realized the cultural heritage that existed in the canyon. It was originally purchased as an area for fishing and hunting because Wilcox had preserved the property as it was in the early 1950s when he had purchased the land.
But as state officials started to survey the property, they found a rich cultural heritage area filled with sites from the Fremont culture. Today, the canyon is considered one of the most untouched areas of its kind in the world, with more than a thousand documented Fremont culture habitation sites.
"We had to decide what to do and how to handle this very unique find," pointed out DWR's Mark Connolly, who was present at the site on Saturday. "What would happen to the flute was a concern, but so was how it was to be removed. We wanted to do it the right way."
Officials were concerned about removing the flute properly, placing the relic in the right location to be viewed by the public and considering the spiritual value the artifact would have to the American Indian culture.
Officials consulted with political and educational parties about the project. Duncan Metcalf, the lead archaeologist for the University of Utah, was invited to the removal of the flute.
To address the spiritual aspect of the find, Connelly contacted Forrest Kuch, who had been interviewed during the making of Lost Canyon, a documentary produced about the area by the U of U's KUED not long after it was discovered what a treasure trove Range Creek was.
Connolly contacted the Hopi Nation about the situation to see if the tribal leaders wanted to send a representative to Range Creek when the flute was extracted. However, that didn't work out and Kuch suggested that Connolly contact Clifford Duncan, a Ute Indian tribal elder to preside over the removal.
To remove the flute from its location, the DWR contacted Montgomery Archaeological Consulting, a firm under contract with the state agency.
The company sent Jody Patterson, a specialist in removing and preserving organic materials, and Patricia Stavish to work on the project. The DWR also had agency archaeologist Kathy Davies on site.
On Saturday morning, the group gathered at the old Horse Canyon Mine and drove through a few inches of snow across the top of the canyon and into Range Creek. Once the site was reached, the group viewed the location from the canyon floor and Duncan conducted a memorial ritual connected to the flute and the individual who had placed the artifact in Range Creek.
"This ritual isn't about me nor is it just about Native Americans, but for all of us that are here today, and for the community as a whole," noted Duncan before he started the ritual. "We are all connected to this - we are all part of it. This will keep it sacred. Whenever we see it,we will know where it came from."
After the ceremony, which included the presentation of a pipe and singing, the archaeologists ascended the mountainside with various DWR personnel and began the work of removing the flute.
The effort took about three hours to complete, with the archaeologists mapping the area using GPS technology, taking notes about the flute and the condition it was in as well as making diagrams about how the artifact sat in place at the site.
Duncan was a brought up the hill to see the flute in situ before the artifact was removed. A ceremony was performed with corn meal before the extraction process began. The corn meal represents something that the individuals removing an object are giving back for taking the item from its resting place.
Once removed, the flute was placed in non-acid packing material and a special box which was brought down from the cliff by Green. The box was placed in the hands of Duncan, who held it for a moment before the artifact was taken to the CEU vehicle. At the vehicle, the box was opened so members of the expedition could see the flute.
"We are very glad to have this for our museum," said Reese Barrick, the CEU facility's director who had accompanied the archaeologists to the site. "We will do some preservation work on it and then will start to display it along side the Pilling Figurines. Eventually, we will build a display for the flute itself."
When the rock was removed from the flute, Patterson said it became apparent to people working on the project that the pressure had bent the artifact in the middle.
"I could see a longitudinal split down the middle of it, but I thought it would stay intact when we removed it," pointed out Patterson. "Unfortunately, when we pulled it out, it separated at the point where it was full of sediment. Otherwise, it is in very good shape. It's not everyday you get to do something like that or even see it. It was definitely a great opportunity and an honor to participate in this."
Barrick indicated that he believed the flute could be reattached for display at the museum.
"I do this kind of thing periodically," explained Duncan. "When I return, I will express myself to the group I belong to and will tell them what I think about it. I was happy to be here. This is really an outstanding site. This was an event that I won't forget overnight. We do not claim this instrument to be of our tribe, but we are here simply for the spiritual aspect of that instrument. The people who lived here hundreds of years ago - that instrument is theirs. So we are merely taking care of it for them."

As President Obama gets ready to address the nation, White House officials are briefing members of Congress. That's even though a vote authorizing an attack against Syria may not take place. Russia's suggestion that Syria surrender its chemical weapons has added a new twist in ongoing and tense negotiations – abroad and in Washington, DC.
Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern is opposed to military intervention, and wants the president to also discuss non-military options. Congressman Richie Neal says his constituents expect him to make a "judicious decision."
McGovern and Neal spoke Tuesday afternoon with New England Public Radio's Susan Kaplan.

Nice Shoe!
"If you are between sizes, size up. It is a bit narrow but not bad and I dont have narrow feet, but nothing a wear wont fix. I checked all my shoes and some Bandolino's I have to get the perfect fit, I noticed I tended to be an 8.5 on some shoes and 8 on boots, so I just went up to a 8.5 and it fits perfect ( i do have other bandonlino's and 8.5 was a bit big for me) after a few wears but this boot was perfect to go up. So I guess it may run a bit small. Good qualify. Someone mentioned that its a bit big on the ankles, I dont have skinny ankles but they arent kankles either and they fit fine on mine.."

Detecting Problems
By BRENT SNYDER,
Only $25. That's all it would have cost to prevent their son from suffering the brain damage that has stunted his mental development.
Jamie and Bryan Oliphint, 36 and 37, of Bridge City, say that their 6-year-old son Jonathan has the mind of a child half his age.
"You love your child but you also grieve for the child that could have been," Oliphint says. "Why couldn't they have caught this sooner?"
Because of their son, the Oliphints have a heartfelt cause. They want to encourage new mothers to pay for a medical test that screens newborns for 30 rare metabolic disorders - a test that they did not know about when their son was born.
Jonathan suffers from argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA), a metabolic disorder that prevents the liver from breaking down protein, leaving toxic deposits of ammonia in the body, especially in the brain.
About one in every 70,000 babies is born with ASA. Most newborns with ASA build up ammonia in their bodies within the first week or two and begin to throw up milk or formula. Some go into comas. Once hospitalized, a battery of tests usually will reveal a high ammonia level and metabolic tests will show ASA.
Jonathan seemed normal when he was born, but gradually showed signs of delayed development. He didn't walk until he was 21 months old. At age 2, he stopped wanting food with any kind of protein in it - meat, peanut butter, eggs, cheese, milk - and was having absence seizures, staring off into space. When he was 3, a neurologist ran a metabolic panel test and discovered ASA.
"The doctor called me on the phone and gave me this big long name," she says. "I thought 'Oh! There's something we can fix now!'"
ASA is treated with a low protein diet and an amino acid supplement, but left untreated, it can cause brain and liver damage, high blood pressure and death.
Jonathan's parents are hoping that his mental condition will improve over time with therapy and treatment, but they are angry that physicians did not catch his ASA sooner.
While all states require that newborns be screened for selected congenital disorders, requirements vary from state to state, says Gina Steiner, spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatrics. For example, only a few states screen for cystic fibrosis, toxoplasmosis or HIV.

- Homer J. Simpson
Im 50/50 on this, obviosuly want to beat the Falcons badly, but dont want to risk further injury to AB. Id also like to see what WIlson can do with a bunch of carries (against a team other than NO), but I think if Bradshaw sits we will see a modified gameplan. That is, I think we will see 45-ish throws from Eli.
Im not sure that is a great gameplan vs a high octane Offense like Atl.
Let Bradshaw rest his knee, even if it is a mild sprain it takes more than a few days to get back to 100%. Wilson and Lumpkin will carry the load, I don't know much about Torain. Anyone know why Barden is on the sh@%list? I would love to see the guy start again, and with Nicks not being @ 100%, it would seem like this would be the game. He did great the last game he started as well as the last drive of the Eagles game.

She is married to Kevin Fischer of This Just In, and together they have a beautiful young daughter Kyla Audrey. In no particular order she loves dogs, wine, a good bargain, her family, pizza, and entertaining. Follow her blog of all things miscellaneous including but not limited to cooking and baking, entertaining and party planning, being a mommy, and homekeeping.
That's It. I'm changing my last name to "White."
In less than two weeks I will be celebrating a milestone birthday. I'm not ready for AARP quite yet but this "milestone" clearly does not mean that I can finally get in to bars legally.
I plan to age not necessarily gracefully, but not fighting it either. I'm not going to look like "What ever happened to Baby Jane?" but I figure through the years I'll earn my greys, crow's feet, etc. I didn't have a body like Beyonce before Kyla was born and I sure as heck don't have it after. Again, I earned that change of shape.
Still, I admire women who are doing more in their golden years than I've done in my youth. This woman is the greatest example I know. 91 years old as of January 17, 2013 and accomplishing so much! Amazing.
Today, February 4, 2013 marks this famous lady's Dodranscentennial. Or you could just call it her 75th birthday. Either way I'd be pleased if I looked this good at 75.
"Oh, well that's just a publicity photo submitted by Disney. She couldn't POSSIBLY look that good in real life."
Really? You wanna go with that thought? Oh, OK… Here's another recent shot:

The recall ballot
Voters in Senate District 3 should remember there are two questions on the recall ballot for state Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo.
The first addresses the recall. If you want to retain Giron in office, vote no on recalling her. To remove her, vote yes.
There is one replacement candidate on the ballot, Republican George Rivera. Voters can vote for Rivera whether they vote on the recall question or not.
The Colorado Supreme Court said those votes will be tallied regardless of whether the recall question is marked. And there is space to write in a candidate.
If more voters choose to keep Giron in office than vote to recall her, she retains her office, no matter how many votes an alternative candidate receives.
Similarly, if more voters choose to recall her, then the alternative candidate with the most votes wins the office, even if that is only a handful of votes.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
Charles Moore was Itawamba's feature back last season. This year, he had to work hard to keep from being relegated to the back seat.
Moore, a senior, rushed for 1,375 yards and scored 22 touchdowns this season for the Indians.
Those are pretty amazing numbers considering he shared playing time with 4-star running back Ashton Shumpert, a player who logged 1,796 rushing yards and 25 TDs.
"I'm a team player; I just want to win," Moore said. "I've known Ashton since my freshman year. He's a great guy. He made be better on and off the football field."
Moore plays his final prep game at noon today, when he takes part in the annual Bernard Blackwell Classic at Milner Stadium in Gulfport.
Shumpert began his high school football career at IAHS, then moved to Tupelo for two years before returning to Fulton last spring.
IAHS coach Toby Collums talked with both talented players before the season to tell them his game plan.
"I told them that we have several playmakers on offense, but we've only got one football," Collums said. "It was never an issue for those two. They didn't care who got the ball as long as we were successful."
Behind the Moore-Shumpert Express, the Indians went 12-1 and lost to eventual 4A state champion Noxubee County in the state semifinals.
"We knew we had two guys back there who could give us a lot of production," Collums said. "Ashton is a step or two faster. Charles is more of a workhorse. When have two guys like that in the same backfield, you feel pretty good about it."
While Shumpert has drawn national interest from college recruiters, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Moore has flown under the radar.
He hopes a solid showing in today's televised all-star game will help his cause.
"It's a blessing to be in this game, to be able to show my talent," Moore said. "This is going to be all business for me, no playing. I'm excited about going down there."

|In response to Re: Basement Bathroom
: Residential use a PVC Wye with two short pieces of pipe glued into the wye and two no hub clamps. Try to keep your wye at least five feet back of the base of the stack. The vent can be tied into the main stack, but at least six inches above the flood level rim (top of basin) of the highest fixture using the stack as a drain, DO NOT TIE IT IN THE BASEMENT. The trick here, if you have a single story house, is to find a wall above the basement bathroom, with little or no wiring in it, no plugs or switches on it. Then carefully measure and mark the wall out on the underside of the floor, drill a two inch hole into the bottom center of the wall. Then go into your attic, find the top of the same wall and carefully measure it out, and drill a two inch hole in the center of the top plate of the wall, you should then be able to see into the basement through this hole, if your measurements are accurate. Then simply slide a piece of 1 1/2" pvc up through the stud space in the wall and into the attic where hopefully
: there is enough room to cut a tee into your existing vent.......Lou

Unique Shoes
"I ordered these shoes to go with a plum colored dress that has tiny pewter beading throughout. The pom poms on the shoes have a tint of multi coloring, which will be a perfect match with any color dress. The shoes also have a nice size heal. I think they are sexy and unique looking. I am very pleased with my purchase.I wear a size 7.5 or 8 and are not a narrow cut width. The size 7.5 fit perfectly. The size 8 would of been too long."

I have a disgustingly,dirty utility sink in my basement in close proximity to my washer and dryer. I have never used this sink for the 6 years we have lived in this house. I have requested that the plumber remove the sink as he re-positions the washer and dryer 4 feet from the current location(in preparation for finishing the basement.
Here's the question. The plumber recommends keeping the sink because it can serve as a catch basin in the event of a clog. He says that w/out some sort of tank or sink the water could back flow and cause the toilet upstairs to overflow.
I would like to know the likelihood of this occurrence AND if there is any other alternative to having a sink - maybe some type of enclosed tank Or nothing at all.

Built for bagging bass when the temperatures drop, the Sworming Hornet Sweat Bee Float & Fly is comprised of quality craft hair thread-tied to a small, matching jig head. Used in conjunction with a bobber and light line, the Float & Fly technique is exactly what it sounds like - a float & a fly. With a 9-11 foot leader, an angler can cast towards the shoreline and allow the fly to sink until the bobber is keeping it suspended. Work the fly with a slight repetitious jiggle, a slow retrieve followed by a pause and then another series of quick movements. Repeat these steps until it makes it back to the boat, then give it another go.

Virgil Blackburn of Clovis, Calif.; Budd and Luana Blackburn of Vernal; and Gayle and Barbara Blackburn of Price; 11 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Also survived by brother James Henrie and sisters: Mae Shorts, Leah Noyes, Fawn Wilder and Dona Lee Johnston.

PRICE-Dominick Besso, age 89, passed away March 16, 2005, in Salt Lake City. He was born Dec. 15, 1915 in Rock Springs, Wyo. to James and Martina Ferrero Besso.
Married Marie Bultman July 5, 1941 in Deer Lodge, Mont.; she died July 23, 1966. He was a member of the Catholic Church and an honorary life member of Price Elk's Lodge #1550. Dom was a treasure to the community, giving to it his skills as a shoemaker and businessman and his knowledge as a storyteller and historian.
His father opened Besso Shoe Shop in 1924. Dom began working there at the tender age of 9 and kept right on going until he was 87. The shop was the heart and "sole" of downtown Price, where you could get your shoes fixed and a history lesson, all in one visit. He was a master craftsman, building many kinds of orthopedic supports, lifts and braces, painstakingly constructing each one layer by layer. He brought new life to thousands and thousands of pairs of mine boots and cowboy boots.
Anyone who knew Dom knew about his incredible memory of the history of Price and the surrounding area, and of the people who lived there. For years he entertained generations of Carbon and Emery county residents with stories about their families, detailing facts and events they never knew. He was a valuable historical resource, recording many hours of tapes for the Oral History Archive at the University of Utah.
Over the years, Dom's remarkable life was highlighted in three full page stories in the Sun Advocate and two in the Deseret News. He was photographed and profiled in three books, Old Ties/New Attachments, Italian American Folklife in the West, The Other Utahns, and Missing Stories/An Oral History of Ethnic and Minority Groups in Utah. Aug. 16, 1989, was proclaimed Dominick Besso Day by the City of Price in commemoration of his 60th year in business. He was chosen Grand Marshall of the 1995 Price International Days Parade, and in November 2001, he was honored by the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce at its Old Timers Luncheon for his long-standing commitment to the business community of Carbon County.
He is survived by his three daughters, Margaret of Salt Lake City; Kate and Jamie both of Burbank, Calif.; and many nieces and nephews.

Will you watch KHL hockey?
Ryan Fancey
October 03 2012 07:04AM
Yesterday it was announced that our friends south of the border (unless you're from the States and reading this now. In which case, you) will have the opportunity to tune in for some KHL action on ESPN3 as early as, well, now. Apparently this will bring the KHL in to something like 70 million homes in the U.S.
Naturally, you're thinking "when are they going to get something going in Canada?", and while it's been reported that the KHL is working on striking a deal here in the north, answers may be hard to come by.
When the NHLPA was rumored to be looking at international events and whatnot as sort of a way to continue showcasing their players, the issue came up as to who could broadcast it. If there was a new Russia-Canada series set up for, say, November, what major carrier would go near it? TSN and CBC would both be in a tough spot. And I think the same rules apply to a potential KHL deal.
I don't want to get in to it too much, because you've likely read it elsewhere, but the short of it is neither of the big two—CBC and TSN—will want to piss off the NHL with Hockey Night in Canada potentially up for the bidding in 2015. Rogers (Sportsnet and now The Score) are believed to make a big push for Saturday night hockey as well.
So how much any of these companies want to air KHL games with NHLPA players in the spotlight is up in the air, unless they feel that HNiC is only about money and it's possible to burn that bridge and still snatch it up from CBC. Either way, I think you can take CBC's horse out of the KHL race. They'll want to be loyal to NHL.
With all that out of the way, another big question remains: Will we even want to watch? The KHL is hockey, but it isn't close the NHL in terms of on ice product, and we'll find that out quickly. But it is hockey, so I think it will definitely have the big sports fans, the bloggers and writers, the folks who rant about hockey on twitter, all tuning in to check it out. Not to mention fans of NHL teams who want to see how their favorite players are doing. Leafs fans will watch for Kulemin and Grabovski, Caps fans for Ovechkin, that sort of thing.
So yeah, I think we'll watch. A fair amount of us, anyway.
The timezone thing will throw a big wrench in to it all, but there's PVR, and I'm guessing if a network picks up these games, they'll show them on delay to maximize viewship anyway. If , for example, TSN bites and takes this on, it would make sense to throw a KHL game on TSN2 at night so we can plunk our asses on the couch after work and enjoy it properly.
Ratings probably won't be the greatest, because I'm not sure how much interest there would be from casual NHL fans. And even the hardcores seem to have focused on other things. Personally, my main focus will be on the AHL this year, given that we have the IceCaps. Others are looking to get more out of junior hockey than they have in the past, and so on.
While I don't think we'll go crazy for KHL hockey, when we grab a beer from the fridge and see it on the channel guide, we'll have to check it out. I guess we'll see whether it can eventually rake in our interest and have us talking at the water coolers, or if it just turns out to be background noise while we discuss how much better the NHL is.
It's important to note that ESPN3 is actually an online streaming site, not a broadcast channel: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index

Watching SKA and Neftekhimik right now. Last year fans (online) complained that the refs were biased towards SKA, by the hooking call at the end of the 1st, I can see why.
October 03 2012, 09:49AM
Watching SKA and Neftekhimik right now. Last year fans (online) complained that the refs were biased towards SKA, by the hooking call at the end of the 1st, I can see why.
SKA has a lotttt of the money.
I'd watch the KHL in a heartbeat, I love it.
October 03 2012, 10:33AM
Yeah, I probably won't bother. Can keep track of Junior and just watch the AHL instead. It'll be enough.
October 03 2012, 05:27PM
It wouldn't surprise me if TSN lands it for their mobile platforms. Between their relationship with ESPN and how they already show KHL highlights on SportsCentre, putting online streams of the games doesn't seem like a stretch.

Why Would Anyone Trust Bob Murray?
Jonathan Willis
December 01 2011 03:57PM
The response to Anaheim's firing of Randy Carlyle has been barely contained glee in many quarters. Over at SBNation's blog Anaheim Calling, the news was inititally celebrated with an ALL CAPS POST. Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski called the decision to swap Carlyle for Bruce Boudreau (fired on Monday by the Washington Capitals) a "genius move." Helene Elliott opined that the Ducks had tuned Carlyle out.
However good the reasons may have been for firing Randy Carlyle, the decision does not reflect well on Ducks general manager Bob Murray. How so? I'll explain.
Let's go back to the summer. Murray was facing a coaching decision in the not too distant future, as incumbent head coach Randy Carlyle had just a single year on his contract.
The results for the Ducks the previous few seasons had not been good. The Ducks had won a Stanley Cup and posted back-to-back 100-point seasons under the watch of Brian Burke, and 17 games into 2008-09 sat fifth in the Western Conference. It was then that Burke resigned the top job (he would take over in Toronto a little over two weeks later), and Bob Murray inherited the team.
The exodus of talent started immediately. In a series of deals that season, Murray gutted many of the depth components that had made the Ducks a championship team – the so-called "Nothing Line" was dismantled, the parts scattered across the league, and others were also sent away. Murray kept a few pieces (the offensive quartet of Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan and Selanne, enforcer George Parros and goalie Jonas Hiller) but he completely reworked the team's depth. The results haven't been pretty – and even last year, when the club was considered by many a dark horse contender, the lack of depth at all positions was painfully obvious, as was the luck involved in making the post-season.
(For those of you without ESPN accounts, that article looks at (among other things) the record of teams with an incredible winning percentage in one-goal games in the playoffs. Of the 11 teams with a win percentage in one-goal games of 0.600 or above to make the playoffs, eight lost series in which they were the favourite, and two of the remaining teams lost in the first round to superior teams. Anaheim led the league in one-goal games last year (with a 29-10-5 record), and also succumbed to the trend, losing a series in which they were favoured.)
Randy Carlyle was the team's head coach through all of it. He had a rich history with Murray – both Murray and Carlyle had been with the Ducks for the entire post-lockout time period. Murray would have seen him in the room in 2010-11 and in all those preceding years, and would have been perfectly placed to know whether Carlyle was a fit going forward.
Murray could have fired Carlyle that summer, and conducted an extensive search for a new head coach when he had both time and a long list of possible candidates. Instead, in August of 2011, Murray sat down with Carlyle and reworked his contract – turning that single remaining year into a three-season extension. Here's what Murray said at the time:
"Randy has been invaluable to this club over the last six years. He has been a true leader through thick and thin, and we are very pleased to be able to reward him with this well-deserved contract."
"We are always competitive. No matter what kind of team we throw at him, he finds a way to make the team try to win. He does very well at it, as his record indicates. He's a good coach. His record speaks for itself."
There's no reason to think that Murray viewed Carlyle as anything other than the best possible candidate. He could have waited to see what happened this season before extending him, but he didn't. Why? Presumably because he was confident in his decision, from years of working with Carlyle.
Less than three months later, Murray dismissed Carlyle in the dead of night, after a win by the team under his watch. He didn't spend a lot of time thinking about a replacement either – Bruce Boudreau, fired earlier in the week, was immediately installed as the team's new bench boss.
Boudreau may or may not prove to be a major improvement on Carlyle. That remains to be seen. It does baffle me that Murray's judgement in the matter is trusted – if he made the wrong decision two months ago despite ample time and a firm read on the candidate involved, why would a decision made in the space of a couple of days two months later be better?
Even without knowledge of what Murray's done to the Ducks, this would come across as an ugly reversal. Combined with that knowledge, one wonders how long it will be until the general manager follows the coach out the door. One doesn't wonder whether it will be deserved.
As mentioned by someone earlier, the Flames should be the fist ones to contact him about a new job!!
December 01 2011, 04:07PM
This is all well and good Jonathan but I wonder if the premise of your article discounts the prevalence of dissembling and dissimulation in public speech in general.
Maybe I'm too cynical but I take it for granted that when people make grand public statements - like after signing a player or coach - they are going to utter a bunch of platitudes. I'm not sure how much value we should put in those statements when comparing them with actions after the fact.
Being the boss is a b!tch. Try to reward your long time and faithful and it bites you in the a$$. He may have been drinking his own koolaid and looking through rose colored glasses. While there may have been some indications last year there was no reason to believe the team would deflate as it has. Murry will be put on the hot seat now as most GM's are as their team goes in the wrong direction. I think he will be safe through to the middle of next season to try and right the ship.
December 01 2011, 04:13PM
I think that when faced with the choice of walking the plank and siding with the ousted Captain Carlyle, or siding with the Mutineers and living another day, Murray chose right.
You dont start shopping Bobby Ryan around the league unless the guy has personally told you he wants out. I think it's fair to say that Murray must have looked himself in the mirror when Boudreau became available and realized what an idiot he was for siding with the Coach not the player.
Coaches are made to be fired, and Carlyle types are more so inclined to be tuned out. They're like spark plugs. You dont buy a new car just because the plugs arent working.*
I'm not going to defend Murray's record, but he probably knew that Carlyle didnt keep his players comfortable and was a fan of that. It can be good, afterall, to keep guys from resting on their laurels. That good changes pretty quickly to bad though when your team is playing like garbage and Stars are demanding out.
*Car reference? WTF?
Coaching contracts have no merit in the NHL. I doubt anybody, even the coaches, expect much from them. So, a 3 year contract, even in the first year doesn't mean much (unfortunately?).
I have no problem with Murray's hiring of Boudreau. Was Randy Carlyle on the hot seat when he got fired? Yes, his team was under-performing. Was Bruce Boudreau a good hire? Sure, he seems like a great coach. You can argue about whether coaching changes like this actually make a difference in the NHL, but Carlyle failed the "what have you done for me lately" test and Boudreau, based on his track record, has the potential to right the ship.
That said, I still think Murray is a below-average GM for the roster moves he's made the last few years.
December 01 2011, 04:30PM
Meh, you've got a team with 5 guys that are arguably top 25 in the league and a goalie that's been to the allstar game, yet you sit in the basement 1/3 of the way through the season you basically have to expect the coach to be fired.
December 01 2011, 04:30PM
This probably has nothing to do with the fact that (arguably) one of the best coaches in the league was looking for a new job. Just coincidence.
December 01 2011, 04:32PM
This is all well and good Jonathan but I wonder if the premise of your article discounts the prevalence of dissembling and dissimulation in public speech in general.

It would appear that if Bruce was available this summer..... carlyle woulda been gone then. This much we know.... Bobs handling of ownerships money in this matter sucked..... that may well be his waterloo.
So is Bruce getting paid by both the caps and the ducks? maybe he can afford a better suit.
December 01 2011, 05:28PM
Ever had it bad for a girl who had a boyfriend at the time? You know you can't get with her so you end up dating another girl. Then that girl all of a sudden becomes single, so you go ahead and dump your current girl to be with her?
It kinda looks like Murray had a bad case of "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with"

As mentioned by someone earlier, the Flames should be the fist ones to contact him about a new job!!
Why? How many coaches do the Flames need to go through? I don't think it's a coaching issue in Calgary, it's a players issue.

Ya Calgary has an old former Leafs player problem.

Coaches get fired / replaced for a variety of reasons; some of them similar to why teams pull their goalie mid-game. Why waste the entire season with a coach the players have stopped listening to rather than make the change?
Buy out the coach's remaining contract. $4M. Not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.
December 02 2011, 10:27AM
The point here isn't "Why was Carlyle fired?"
The point here is "Why trust Bob Murray's choice of Boudreau when three months ago he told you Carlyle was the man for the next three years?"
Because the context has changed.
Murray is not a good GM, but your reasoning here is a bit of a reach.
December 02 2011, 10:29AM
Agreed. How can you trust someone who basically sits there and lies to anyone who will listen?
So Bob,
Is Bobby Ryan available? If so, want Sarich?
December 02 2011, 11:05AM
I agree with your thoughts exactly Jonathan.
December 02 2011, 12:44PM
Jon, please don't create controversy for no good reason and drag Murray's name through the mud. It's been widely speculated in the mainstream media that he was told either he gets rid of Carlyle, or they're both gone.
December 02 2011, 03:14PM
Jon, please don't create controversy for no good reason and drag Murray's name through the mud. It's been widely speculated in the mainstream media that he was told either he gets rid of Carlyle, or they're both gone.
Ironically, your comment would drag his name through the mud even more. Jonathan's just suggesting that Murray's not a very good GM. You're suggesting that he's not a very good person.
I've read recently some wag comment that NHL teams switch from a hard guy to a soft, nice guy and then keep alternating forever as needed.
Watching Carlyle going against the Oil over the years, it seemed to me that he was pretty good at his job, but not great. He definitely suffered from not having much of a hockey culture compared to the Oil with that team. Edmonton may have not had great teams or coaches, but there was a culture there that helped propel the team forward. I didn't get that in Anaheim, not enough wise, experienced hands in support.
I'm wondering about what Burke did in Anaheim, and what Murray has been doing too. I just don't think Burke is as good as some think, so I have to wonder what was going on there. The inside story is yet to be told. I never was a huge fan of Murray either.

National Gallery of Australia announces a $2 M gift from the family of Australian artist Rosalie Gascoigne
18 March 2008
Rosalie Gascoigne Earth 1999, painting, sawn, used varnished or painted builders form-board, gift of Ben Gascoigne AO and family 2008
© Rosalie Gascoigne. Licensed by VISCOPY, Australia.
Ben Gascoigne and the family of the late Rosalie Gascoigne, one of Australia's most important contemporary artists, have donated her last major, series Earth 1999, to the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
Director of the National Gallery of Australia Ron Radford said, 'This most generous gift from Rosalie's husband Ben Gascoigne, AO, and the Gascoigne family is significant to the National Gallery of Australia's collection. As a Canberra artist, Rosalie was closely associated with the Gallery, and Earth is her last great creation.'
Rosalie Gascoigne was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1917 and came to Australia in 1943. In 1964 Gascoigne began making small assemblages using discarded objects she found in the paddocks surrounding her home. Towards the end of the decade her interest in art-making grew considerably and in 1974 at the age of 57, she had her first solo exhibition at the Macquarie Galleries in Canberra. Less than a decade later the distinctive strength of her art was recognised nationally and internationally, and in 1982 she was selected (with Peter Booth) to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale. Over the years, her work has attracted critical acclaim and has been acquired by all major public art institutions of the Australasian region. Rosalie Gascoigne died in Canberra in October 1999.
'The National Gallery of Australia was very important to Rosalie and the gift is in keeping with her practice of giving it significant examples of her work', said Ben Gascoigne, AO, husband of the late Rosalie Gascoigne.
Earth,a multi-panelled installation comprising ten works, is currently on display in the Australian Art Galleries at the NGA. The acquisition is part of the National Gallery of Australia's 25th Anniversary Gifts Program.

Ministerial Segment of the International Conference on Freshwater
Excellencies, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen
- I am honoured to be here today at this key conference on Freshwater. I am privileged to address this audience from around the world.
- We are grateful to the German Government for hosting the conference and welcoming us all in Bonn. It is fitting that we are meeting ON the Rhine, to discuss the issue of freshwater.
- Water has always held a central role in the practices and beliefs of many cultures and religions - it is the primary building block of life - the key to sustainable development
- The Koran mentions that all life originated from water and that man himself is created of water
- The Incas believed that Lake Titicaca was the centre of the original world - water was the essential factor in the stability and prosperity of the Mayan peoples - it possibly caused their demise - one theory blames the lack of water, followed by flooding, for the collapse of the civilisation
- The so called "water civilisations" of Egypt and Assyria were based on the ownership and control of water - the Egptians even believed that water was needed for the life after death
- Water's power to destroy is well-recognised - in the Bible floods and drought were punishments sent from God
- The Gikuyu tribe of Kenya believe that drought is a sign that the God is angry-They offer sacrifice and prayer to sooth his anger
- Mankind is always at the mercy of water for survival and development
- Water pollution, poor sanitation and water shortages kill over 12 million people every year. Millions are in bad health and trapped in poverty - much of their energy and time wasted in the quest for clean water
- Without water there is no hope of sustainable development
I challenge you today to answer these questions.
- Have the rich, the decision-makers, the large water-users become the "gatekeepers" of the world's water?
- Are you a water gate-keeper?
- Is your demand for water satisfied? I think it is.
- Do you therefore still see the necessity of finding solutions to satisfy the poor's demand and need for water? - Today the lack of a global and national policies for sustainable management of water resources closes the gate to water - It acts as a barrier to the supply of water for the poor.
- As a German I cannot lecture you in the English language, but I would like to remind you that the word "gate", as well as referring to a barrier which can be opened or closed, has also come to mean "scandal".
Are we all players in our very own FRESH WATERGATE?
A scandal of a very serious nature
We must act
- It would be wonderful if we could (adopt a Harry Potter approach,) wave a magic wand and give the world more water. But we are not wizards - We must take a different approach - an integrated approach which will ensure better use of the available water.
- The earth's water supply is static - The Chinese understood this as early as 500 B.C -however the demand for water is growing
- The world's population is increasing by around 77 million people per year.
- You've all seen the size of the Rhine: The yearly water requirements of 77 million people is roughly equivalent to the flow of the Rhine - that's a lot of water
- Distribution of water in the world is uneven. We have to open the gate to ensure that every citizen of the world has adequate WATER. There is no other option - We have to address a crisis of management and governance rather than a crisis of scarcity.
- Hindus believe that in their "sacred waters" distinctions of caste cease to exist- We too should use water to restore equity
- We, here in this room are in a position to take action to quickly implement the best solutions to one of THE biggest problems facing the world - Sustainable development is dependant proper management of water resources.
- IF water is used in an unsustainable way- less is available to meet the needs of people- people who then remain trapped in poverty
- The solutions are known- We need planning, investment and regulation.
- The solutions urgently need to be put into practice.
- What has been done since Rio? FAR too little.
- National governments and international organisations, including (and especially) the UN must act coherently now- Act to save millions of people from certain death and miserable lives.
- Integrated water resources management is required to ensure:
- Sustainable demand and use
- Supply to all
- The poor rely on as little as 10 litres per capita per day to survive while the rich use as much as 250 litres - a basic daily water requirement is defined as being 50 litres per person per day
- What can be done to remedy the situation? - we cannot take from the rich and give to the poor- The world's policy on water has to change
One Example
- In Africa the weather can make the different between life and death. Many Africans still depend on seasonal rains for their freshwater.
- 88% of water used in Africa is for agriculture - some of which is exported to the developed world in the form of flowers and vegetables
- 40 - 60% of irrigation and municipal water is lost through seepage and evaporation-contributing directly to poverty
- Those with access to this water, suppliers and users are gatekeepers of Africa's water (equity must be restored)
How does this affect the poor (where I live)?
- In Nairobi slums clean water is a constant challenge - Waterways are polluted, sanitation is close to non-existent - The cost of water is very high - 20 times the price of water in the better suburbs
- in rural Kenya women spend many hours are walking to collect water - time which could be dedicated to growing food, education of children or earning a living in another way
- The struggle to obtain enough water for survival is a drain on human health, finances and energy - it soaks up assets which could be used to build a better life
- Develop water resources and manage them efficiently - reduce water loss
- Improve the management of water utilities in developing countries - Commercialisation, where profits are ploughed back into the utility, could be useful - e.g. Accra, billing, collection and meter installation have been privatised -increased efficiency.
- Good governance at national and international level - put in place regulation and institutions which support and can sustain integrated water resources management
- E.g Laws passed by the Spanish in Mexico as early as the 1600s - set out rules to ensure that ALL were equally treated in the distribution and use of water - irrigation should not deny water to others
- Capacity building for improved management of water resources - Transfer of knowledge from developed countries and environmental agencies, such as UNEP- South: south sharing of experiences
- Raise awareness at every level - put into practice the least-cost (often simple) solutions for sustainable water conservation (e.g. roof rainwater collection, leak location, recycling and reuse)
- E.g. Project to rescue ancient Mayan water systems to assist water management in Guatemalan villages
Solutions should be designed for the villages and slums of regions in need
- All planning, management and education should take account of climate change and the unpredictability of weather patterns. Help people and the land to cope with drought as well as excessive heavy rains.
- Demand for water is of course heavily influenced by cost. In Ancient Rome each Roman was supplied with around 1,000 litres of water per day. In Rome today the average Roman's demand for water is more modest - it is influenced no doubt by cost
- There is a need to change water demand - pricing could drive the water "gatekeepers" to find new technologies - technology which would lower their water demand
- Water-pricing should reflect the true cost of the resource -It should take account of the economic social and environmental value of water - encourages more efficient use and discourages waste by the water "gatekeepers"
- Water for the poor should be affordable - they are willing to pay for clean water (income can be used for water infrastructure and management)
- Push for abolition of subsidies for large-scale water users (promotes waste and irresponsibility)(e.g Kenya breweries in Nairobi consume up to 5% of the total city supply, mainly for washing purposes)
- Subsidies on agriculture encourage increased production - leads to inefficient water use and increased pollution -(examples Africa, EU, N. America) -remove subsidies on agriculture- lower cost of cleaning up the environment e.g Aral Sea
- Introduce progressive tariffs (e.g South Africa)
- Funds available, including aid (re)directed to projects which have taken account of all costs and benefits (promote integrated water resources management)- e.g. irrigation investment might have higher value in another part of the economy-Promote different land-use - Promote the use of least-cost water supply.
As well as satifying the world's demand for water we must also ensure that the water is CLEAN (polluted water is useless)
- Both the Koran and the Bible mention polluted water as a punishment from God
- The sanctity of water is important to Zoroastrians - It is laid down that people must not urinate, spit or wash their hands in a river.
In spite of all teachings and knowledge:
- 90% of sewage and 70% of industrial waste in developing countries is dumped untreated into surface waters
- In industrialised countries pesticides, fertiliser and manure run-off from intensive farms pollute water - industrial waste also contributes to the problem
- Recognise the scope of the problem (at all levels)
- Develop projects to clean up water and raise awareness, especially of the solutions
- (e.g. Project for the Prevention of Accumulation and Disposal Measures for Obsolete Stockpiles of Pesticides in Africa
- Water for African Cities - Lusaka: Environmental impact assessment, community based approach to aquifer management, education and training
- Yemen: implementation of appropriate wastewater management strategies and National programme of action
- Apply polluter pays principle
- Water has to be brought to those who need it (distribution should not stop at the "gates" of affluent suburbs or prosperous large commercial farms)
- Human energy should not be wasted walking hours to the nearest water supply (6 -8 hours per family per day) -women could spend this time on more important matters
- investment in supply infrastructure (least cost most effective technology, UNEP studies available)
e.g - The amount of water the world's reservoirs can store is falling by one percent a year - Mud, silt and soil is building up in these structures - I can assure you that the UN's Dams unit will work to find a solution to this problem
- Involve communities in the delivery decision-making
- education in the better management of available water (especially women)
- Remember solutions are not always complex and costly
e.g. the Hippo Roller, a plastic barrel with a handle, which can be filed with water and pushed along like a wheel barrow. Women using it in South Africa can roll four times as much water as they used to carry on their head.
- Integrated concrete action will ensure
- Supply to even the poorest slums
- We, the gatekeepers, have the power to open the gate- the power to take action - the power to put in place the policies which will release the water to those in need
- Instead of FRESH WATERGATE let us ensure that we will pass through the gate of horn, the gate of Greek legend from which true dreams come, our dream will be clean, affordable water for all.
ACTION now
- avoid 66% of the world's population living in water-stressed conditions by 2025 -
ensure sustainable development and poverty reduction
- Water is a very good servant, but it is a cruel master." C.G.D. Roberts , Water should serve all mankind and assist the future prosperity of the entire world
- I am convinced that this conference can develop practical solid guidelines for implementation of solutions. Solutions which can form a key component of WSSD.
- If we all make a commitment to act, then together we can save lives in the future. We can give the poor a chance to live a better life -a life free from the slavery of water and poverty.

Your safety is an extremely important consideration in the production of Milorganite. Milorganite meets the most stringent criteria imposed on any fertilizer product for health, safety and environmental concerns. Milorganite complies with all federal and state limits, which allows Milorganite to be used with confidence for all of your fertilizing needs, including grass, trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables.
Milorganite is intensively analyzed to ensure compliance with all applicable standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and every state in which Milorganite is sold. Metals and PCBs are analyzed daily. As shown by the table, metals concentrations in Milorganite are much less than allowed for an Exceptional Quality product.
For PCBs, Milorganite holds itself to a standard of 1 part per million, which is stricter than any applicable limit. In addition to metals and PCBs, routine analysis occurs for numerous other pollutants and pathogens. To view Milorganite's Safety Data Sheet.
Heavy metals like cadmium, copper and zinc are naturally occurring in our everyday environment. Several of these metals are actually micronutrients that are needed in small amounts for plants to grow and reproduce. The concern with heavy metals in fertilizer is keeping their concentrations under limits deemed safe by EPA regulators. Milorganite is the "gold standard" of biosolid fertilizers, with 90 years of experience producing a product that is both safe and effective. For more information on the reduction of heavy metals in Milorganite visit our History page.
Milorganite is heat-dried in twelve rotary dryers that operate between 900⁰F and 1200⁰F. This extreme heat and dryness kills pathogens. Find out more on How We Make It.
Milorganite is formulated without salts or pesticides. The key elements of Milorganite are simple: organic matter and nutrients. It will not burn. It will not hurt your family or the environment. For more information visit the Children and Pets page.
Phosphorus in runoff can cause excessive algae problems in lakes and streams. However, phosphorus is an essential nutrient and is an important part of any fertilizing program. The challenge is getting the phosphorus right. Research conducted by the University of Florida shows that phosphorous
in Milorganite behaves differently than phosphorous in synthetic
fertilizer. The phosphorus in Milorganite releases slowly, as plants need it. The phosphorus in Milorganite is predominantly insoluble: It stays in your lawn or garden helping your plants grow, instead of moving into groundwater or storm water where it can cause problems.
As a product of the water reclamation process, biosolids may contain various pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Milorganite is a leader in investigating the risk caused by these compounds.
Although detectable, concentrations of these compounds are extremely small. These micro-impurities have a long pathway to travel before human exposure: from water reclamation to Milorganite production to soil application to plant growth to harvest to consumption. This long process reduces the risk that these micro-impurities will harm human health and the environment.
For example, research at the University of Florida studied the fate of Triclosan, a commonly used anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent used in products ranging from soap to toothpaste. The study measured the amount of Triclosan in corn, tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce grown using Milorganite. While some Triclosan did appear in the vegetables, concentrations were extremely low, with corn having the highest concentration. A 154 pound person could eat up to 1,249 pounds of corn a day without any adverse effect. Thus, the risk from Triclosan exposure from Milorganite® is extremely small.

DescriptionThis sound pack contains 25 high-quality "Blip" sound effects for use in video games. The sound style is like the 8-bit chiptune-style as typically used by retro arcade machines and retro game consoles. The "Blip"-sounds have various purposes and can, for example, be used for things like item-pickups, general signalling, score-counters, menu selects, etc. These sounds are one-shots; there are no loops.
All sounds in this sound pack have been professionally designed using techniques learned during a period of 20 years of game development and sound synthesis. Great care has been taken to ensure all sounds are free of hums, clicks/pops and buzzes. Once the initial design phase was completed, the entire sound pack was taken through a second phase much like a mastering stage. This results in a complete collection of safely mixable sounds that are normalized, thereby enabling maximum usage flexibility.
ContentsThis sound pack contains 25 unique sounds. Each sound is delivered in two file formats: a high quality WAV-format (industry standard 16-bit stereo 44.1kHz) and a high quality MP3-format (320kBs stereo). The total number of files is thus 25×2 = 50.

|In response to Re: Echo noise from toilet when warter drains
: : We have two bathrooms that are stacked and when the bottom toilet is flushed, you can hear an echo type of noise in the upstairs bathroom. This is when the water is draining. Now we hear this noise when the downstairs shower is running and when the washing machine's water is draining. We had a plumber come out and they checked the air pressure valve (I'm not sure if this is what its called.)This was ok so they thought it was a clogged drain. They clean out the main sewer drain but it still makes the noise. The plumb said he has never head such a noise. Any suggestions?

TCGA Bladder Cancer Study Reveals Potential Drug Targets
Investigators with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network have identified new potential therapeutic targets for a major form of bladder cancer, including important genes and pathways that are disrupted in the disease. They also discovered that, at the molecular level, some subtypes of bladder cancer – also known as urothelial carcinoma – resemble subtypes of breast, head and neck, and lung cancers suggesting similar routes of development. Read the full paper here.
Seth Lerner, MD, professor and chair of urologic oncology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, was one of the senior authors of the paper. Dr. Lerner is a previous AUA Research Scholar (1990-1991) and recently served on the 2014 Research Scholars Program Research Grants Review Committee.

NIH CSR Early Career Reviewer Program
The NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR) Early Career Reviewer (ECR) program was developed to train qualified scientists without prior CSR review experience to become effective reviewers, help emerging researchers advance their careers by exposing them to peer review, and enrich the existing pool of NIH reviewers by including scientists from less research-intensive institutions as well as those from traditionally research-intensive institutions.
Applicants should be full-time faculty members or researchers in a similar role, show evidence of an active independent program of research, have recent senior authored research publications in peer-reviewed journals, and have not served on a CSR study section in a role other than a mail reviewer or ARRA reviewer. Prior NIH funding is not a requirement.
Further information regarding the program may be found here.
Howard and Georgeanna Jones Foundation Grant Opportunities
The Howard and Georgeanna Jones Foundation for Reproductive Medicine, which supports scientific and medical research in the field of reproductive medicine has announced two new grant opportunities: the Young Investigator Achievement Awards and the Research Grant in Reproductive Medicine.
The two Young Investigator Achievement Awards available are designed to foster the career development of young research investigators working in an approved reproductive medicine fellowship program or young research investigators in the field of reproductive medicine. The proposed research must be focused on new discoveries in basic and clinical sciences and have current or potential impact on the understanding and treatment of infertility. Preference will be given to investigations that target improvement in the efficiency of in vitro fertilization. Grants will be in the amount of $60,000 for a period of one year.
The foundation will also award one Research Grant in Reproductive Medicine to fund an innovative research project designed to identify human fertilized eggs that have pregnancy potential. Funds may be used for support of a new or ongoing research/clinical investigation project, and the candidate must spend at least 80 percent of his or her time in research. The grant provides $100,000 for a period of one year. A second year of funding may be awarded upon review of a progress report and re-application.
Information regarding the programs and funding announcements may be found here. The application deadline is February 28, 2014.
BCAN Young Investigator Awards
The application process is now open for the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network's (BCAN) Young Investigator Awards. The goal of these grants is to support the development of outstanding research scientists and clinical cancer research investigators who have demonstrated a commitment to improving the understanding and treatment of bladder cancer. These grants fund researchers who work in basic, translational, clinical, epidemiologic, bioengineering or any other scientific or research field, but are also working in a research environment capable of supporting transformational bladder cancer research. Applications are open to researchers and clinicians across the United States and Canada.
The deadline is March 5, 2014 to apply for one of these three research awards of $100,000 each, over a two-year period. More information on BCAN's Young Investigator Awards including the application and guidelines may be found here.
