It is a replication of how high-priced or low-priced an equity is depending on existing or projected earnings growth. The totalling implicates dividing equity market value, or the equity last price, by the mean EPS posted in the earlier four quarters. When fiscal earnings forecasts are accessible, the trailing EPS can be traded with estimates for imminent earnings.
An attractive P/E ratio of a firm in one industry might not be valid for P/E ratio of company operating in another sector. Thus, buyers should evaluate the P/E ratios of equities in a similar industry. Likewise, the comprehensive stock market worth is established in the P/E ratio of the prominent S&P index that implies some of the major firms in the market. By gauging a stock's P/E ratio with renowned index, a buyer can know an equity perceived value against the rest of the market.
SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSNC) PEG ratio is at 1.07. The stock closed at $33.04 in last trading session and so current market cap is $6.65B.

Did You Know? Countdown to Memorial Day 2009 (05/23)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Memorial Day
May 23 : 2 days to Memorial Day
Did you know that Memorial Day began as a commemoration of soldiers killed during the Civil War?
Following several years of spontaneous gatherings to honor their fallen comrades, the unofficial military tradition was officially adopted in 1868 by Union Army General John Logan, who proclaimed May 30th as the national Memorial Day. That first year, Memorial Day was only commemorated at Arlington National Cemetery, where flowers were placed on soldiers' graves.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Memorial Day (05/25)! So stop by again tomorrow.

The Emery High Spartans football team met the Lehi Pioneers on Friday in the homecoming battle. Lehi ended up on top with a score of 36-16.
The game began with a Lehi kickoff to Emery. Garrett Swenson returned the ball for the Spartans. Quarterback Bowie Jeffs started the Spartan's offensive battle with an incomplete pass to Swenson. The second down play was a complete pass to Seth Powell for a gain of 9 yards. A short handoff to Josh Sharp was enough for an Emery 1st down. A long pass attempt from Jeffs to Brandon Hansen was incomplete. Jeffs connected with Swenson for a short gain. Another long pass attempt to Hansen was incomplete and Emery punted to end the series.
Lehi's first drive of the game resulted in a short gain on the ground. The 2nd down, however, saw the Lehi Pioneer sprinting down field and ending up on the Emery 20 yard line. The Pioneers ran for a short gain on the ground and in the next play ran in for a touchdown and a successful point after to lead 7-0.
The Spartans started their next drive at the 20-yard-line after the Pioneer kick-off ended up in the endzone. An offside penalty against Lehi brought the Spartans 5-yards closer. A pass to Swenson went out of bounds and the next play was a pass to Sharp which was complete for a short gain. The play however also contained a hold for Emery and the ball was marched back 10 yards. Not to be deterred the Spartans complete a pass from Jeffs to Kadin Wilson for a large gain just 2-yards short of the first down. Lehi helped the Spartan cause with a dead ball foul which gave the Spartans their first down.
Jeffs does some scrambling on the next play and is bumped out of bounds. Powell catches the Jeffs pass in the next play for a gain of 9-yards. The Spartans jump and lose 5-yards but Jeffs connects with Swenson and completes the pass for a large gain and a 1st down on the Pioneer 20-yard-line. Two incomplete passes to Hansen and Swenson bring up 3rd and 10. Lehi has a pass interference call and helps the Spartans out. Jeffs scrambled around the backfield but his knee goes down and the Spartans start from there. Swenson catches the next pass but the officials said he did it out of bounds so this brings up 4th and long for the Spartans. Another incomplete pass gives the ball to Lehi on their 22-yard line. Lehi moved the ball 9-yards but then Chris Keller from the Spartans intercepts the Lehi pass on the next play. This interception puts Emery on their own 35-yard-line. A 1st down for the Spartans resulted after a Jeffs to Swenson pass was complete and Lehi had a face mask penalty.
Jeffs throws to Hansen but the pass is incomplete. The next down a pass is complete to Sharp along with a holding call on the Pioneers. The 1st quarter ends with the score 7-0 for the Pioneers. Sharp begins the 2nd quarter with a 15-yard gain up the middle. An incomplete pass to Swenson brings up 3rd and 10. The next play Hansen on a tight end counter pass completes a pass to Powell who runs it in for a touchdown. The Pioneers jump on the point after attempt for a dead ball foul and the ball is moved half the distance to the goal line and Sharp takes it in for the 2-point conversion. With 11:20 left in the 2nd quarter the score is Lehi-7 and Emery 8.
Lehi returns the Spartan kick to the 50-yard-line and the runner is met by Wilson. In the next play the Lehi runner is tackled by Hansen and Jake Jensen. Caleb Sitterud is injured on the play and returns to the sideline for Emery. Emery takes over on downs but their attempts go nowhere and they are forced to punt. Emery has a penalty on the punt and is forced to punt again. The punt return for Lehi brought them almost back to the point of the punt. A hold on Emery moves the Pioneers even closer and they run in for a touchdown as well as a 2-point conversion. The score stood at Lehi-15 and Emery-8 with 6:29 to go in the half.
The kickoff went into the endzone and the Spartans started their drive on the 20-yard-line. Emery fumbles the ball and Lehi recovered and took possession on Emery's 20-yard-line. The Lehi drive is stopped short with tackles by Hansen and Sharp. Emery took over on downs with an incomplete 4th down pass attempt. Emery starts off on their 17-yard-line. Jeffs is sacked on the 1st down play. Swenson catches the next pass and digs for yardage. The next down was a huge play for the Spartans when Jeffs connects with Powell and he dashes down the sideline for a touchdown. The Pioneers jump on the point after attempt which brought about a 2-point conversion by Wilson. The score stood at Lehi-15 and Emery- 16 with 1:24 to go in the half. Emery recovered their own kickoff as the ball went the required yardage and then touched a Lehi player afterwhich it was jumped on by the Spartans. Their drive goes nowhere and Lehi takes over and with time running out they attempt a field goal which was not good.
The Pioneers start out the 3rd quarter with a quick touchdown to take the score to Lehi-21 Emery-16. The Spartans drive doesn't go anywhere and Lehi takes the ball in for a touchdown on their possession and their quarterback converts for 2-points with 1:22 left in the 3rd quarter Lehi goes up 29-16. The Pioneers score again at the beginning of the 4th quarter to bring the score to 36-16. Emery completed several passes in the quarter but never enough to put them close enough to score and the tally at the games end was Lehi 36, Emery 16.
Lehi had 191 yards passing and 120 yards rushing for a total offense of 311 yards. Emery had minus 7 yards rushing and 200 yards passing for total offense of 193 yards. Bowie Jeffs was 15/36 for 183 yards passing with one touchdown and two interceptions. Garrett Swenson was 0/1 passing while Brandon Hansen was 1/1 for 17 yards and 1 touchdown passing.
Emery High offensive player of the game was Seth Powell, defensive player was Jake Jensen, lineman was TJ Saupan and special teams player was Cory Montgomery.
In Sophomore action on Thursday the Spartans lost 7-6 and the Junior Varsity lost 35-21 against the Pioneers.

Game #11 Preview: Flames @ Canucks
Dimitri Filipovic
February 09 2013 01:04PM
Roberto Luongo has a sad. Cory Schneider gets the nod again, tonight.
Remember when there was mass panic following a shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings on January 28th? Sure the Canucks were 2-2-2, but more important they had failed to play a well-rounded 60 minute game. It's safe to say that things have changed a little bit since then.
The Canucks have won 4 games in a row, and are set to add much-needed reinforcements in the form of David Booth and Ryan Kesler in the coming days. As if there isn't already enough reason for excitement, let me give you one more: they're hosting the Calgary Flames in the third of 3 Hockey Day in Canada games today.
Read Past the Jump for More on the Game.
Broadcast Info:
Puck Drop: 7 PM PST
Television: CBC
Radio: Team 1040
Last time these two teams went up against each other, on January 23rd, the Canucks were looking for their first win on the season. On that night, we saw Zack Kassian really step up into the forefront as the caddy for the Sedins, as he logged over 19 minutes, scored a goal, made his presence known in front of the net, and ultimately won it with a beautiful move in the shootout. As you may have noticed, he has replaced by Burrows in the past two games. Expect things to stay this way given the results.
Taking care of business in this tilt is important for the Canucks; they are just starting a four-game home stretch with some very winable games in front of them, before hitting the road for a tough jaunt through the Central division.
For me personally, it'll be weird seeing the Canucks go up against the Flames without Miikka Kiprusoff trying to thwart the good guys' attempts. But believe it or not, a 37-year old who has been ridden for years upon years is out with an injury. While it's not as serious as was first believed (a 1st degree MCL sprain), the entire situation was a perfect example of how dysfunctional the Calgary Flames are as an organization. Their plan B is Leland Irving; the same goalie who couldn't find the ice for the Abbotsford Heat during the lockout, despite being completely healthy. As for their plan C? Well, they didn't even have a third goalie under contract until the Kiprusoff injury happened. Fun stuff.
Thus far the Flames have actually been able to get their second line working with the new additions of Jiri Hudler and Roman Cervenka gelling well together. And obviously their first line featuring Jarome Iginla and (one of the most underappreciated players of this era) Alex Tanguay is quite dangerous. But after that, there are some names on the roster that make you snicker, satisfyingly, beccause they are after all the Flames. It certainly doesn't help their causes that their strongest possession player in Mikael Backlund and their best tire-flipper (Michael Cammalleri) are now out.
What stands out immediately about the Flames is that they are 4th in the league in shots on goal/game (32.0), and are giving up the third fewest amount. Their goalies just flat out have not been able to stop the pucks that have been shot at them. I can recall last Saturday night's game against the Blackhawks, when they threw everything but the kitchen sink at Ray Emery, with only 2 goals and 1 point (in the form of a shootout loss) to show for their troubles.
You'll note that I didn't really touch on the news that Cory Schneider was getting to the call to start this game. Why? Because there's nothing to be said about it. He had a strong effort in Minnesota, and the Canucks have made it clear that they'll ride the guy that's playing well. Luongo will be back in if/when Schneider stumbles. Until then, enjoy the pucks that are being stopped.
Finally, if anyone out there is good with cameras and knows someone who would be willing to invest in the filming of a short documentary, please let me know. I won't stop until 'Feast or Famine: The Jay Feaster Story' is unleashed on the masses.
Numbers Game:
Game Day Links:
So... Backlund, Cammalleri and Kipper all out. So basically half of the players that anyone outside of Alberta can name that are on the Flames roster.
A Canucks team that has owned the division for the last decade, and which is now starting to hit its stride. Plus Mason Raymond is a Flames killer, and is hot right now with goals in back to back games.
If I was a Flames fan, I'd be hoping for some short term pain for long term gain.
A nice blowout by the Canucks on HNIC, on Hockey Day to boot, would go a long way to forcing the Flames brain trust to realize what the rest of the NHL* figured out years ago... they need a rebuild.
*Except for the Leafs, they seemed determined to grit it out in 10th overall indefinitely as well.

I wanted to post about Marco Brambilla's elevator installation at The Standard hotel in NYC a couple of weeks ago, but all the YouTube links looked super-crappy and stuttery on my relatively old iBook G4. A few days ago Lynn Becker of ArchitectureChicago Plus posted a link to Motionographer, which has a large-scale, gorgeous, smooth-running version of the video on its site. So on the off chance some of you might not have seen Becker's post (or visited her fantastic blog, which is a daily read for me), I'm posting the link again here (it can't be embedded, so click on the Motionographer link above).
Brambilla's installation consists of footage sampled from hundreds of mainstream and avant-garde films and assembled into a vertical photomontage representing a journey through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven viewed while hotel guests travel up and down the elevator. Read more about it, and see the piece itself, on the Motionographer website. It's pretty incredible.
Thanks again ArchitectureChicago!

While Feministe has been down, an issue erupted in North Carolina about where trans people are allowed to pee. In response to a local ordinance in Charlotte outlawing discrimination against trans people, the North Carolina legislature passed HB2, a law mandating discrimination, requiring trans people to use the bathroom corresponding to the sex listed on their birth certificate rather than the gender with which they identify.
Here are some highlights, if somehow you missed it while you were missing us.

Local selection and sourcing
Great chocolate taste starts with growing great cocoa beans.
Together with cooperatives in West Africa, we have started training
and education programmes that help cocoa farmers adopt modern
agricultural practices, working to improve crop quality and
Farmers learn soil management and crop diversity to grow healthy cocoa trees – and equally important, 1) proper fermentation after the harvest, integral in developing the aromatic and taste precursors of Callebaut's® great chocolate taste, and 2) drying, essential in preserving the aroma and flavour of the beans, keeping them in good condition through shipment and storage.
When cocoa fruit is harvested, it is cracked open to scoop out the pulp with the cocoa beans (actually the seeds of the cocoa fruit). These seeds are heaped up and covered with banana leaves to ferment.
Thus, before and after the harvest, Callebaut ensures the proper steps are taken to develop and preserve the great chocolate taste and aroma that you know.

I can see Mao staying around for 4 more Olympics, possibly doing the impossible, breaking Sonja Henie's record. But then again, the same was said of Oksana Baiul, so who really knows...
The one truth that holds true is that anything is possible at the Olympics, which is why it's so exciting to watch! Only once every 4 years, who will rise to the top, who will fall, who will even make the Olympic Team, will an unknown come out & take it all, or will a favorite give a performance of a lifetime, or will they all choke?
Citius, Altius, Fortius ~ may the best o-n-e win!
[\quote]... or will they all choke?[/quote]
Oh! So anticlimactic.
Personnally, I don't care what they do as long as they are happy with their decision.
Yes I am like that person who thinks Yu-na will win,
But I do for different reasons.
1) it is held in Canada-she has a beloved Canadian Coach in Brian Orser because when she didn't she didn't get the scorers and the some people didn't
like her skating because of it. Than she went To Canada /got Lori Nichol to Chorography (Canadian)practice in Canada, Canadian Coach,she is the next hot thing in Canada under the (normal Canadian Skaters such as Joannie,Patrick Chan, Virture& Moir etc.
2) The Korea federation is buying her medals-everytime something about money /her endorsements /ranking comes up they blast it to the world how great she is doing/money/endorsement/ranking in getting endorsements in Korea.(in other words-she is getting overexposed in my opinion.To the point where people might get put off.
3)Isu is worried about money -dropped the sponorship money for skate america-personally i think it was a sanction against the us regarding the WTT.-or someother affair they did.
4) Cinquanta mentioning he didn't care about America/or whoever he just wants Asia up there. Since Korea is putting out a lot of money . I feel she will get it-even though she is a bit overated.(overlook a lot of her mistakes)
I had a few morebut i forgot.
^ how about the number one reason is she's just that good?
Brian Orser didn't win an Olympic gold in HIS HOME COUNTRY... so why is it that she'll win gold because of him? If that's the case then forget Yuna - we better keep Alissa on the team because HER coach is Brian BOITANO! And he was the one who actually WON the gold in Canada.
Will be hard for Yu Na to retire after the Olympics I would imagine given what a star she is in Korea. Maybe she would back off from doing Grand Prixs like Michelle, but then show up to kick butt when Worlds comes around.
Any kind of 'Korean buying her medal' accusation never fails to make me laugh. Since when the Korean federation became a powerful one internationally?
I think Yuna is overexposed in Korea.(And maybe a bit in Japan? I don't know.) Here in the US, I am certainly not overexposed to Yuna. I'm not even slightly exposed to her even though I really wish to 'get put off'!!!
But I have a strong feeling that Korean federation's not gonna be very happy and supportive if Yuna wants to retire after 2010 Olympic games.

I work extensively in the business skills development sector as a trainer/facilitator. a huge problem that recurs is that the level of application of theory learnt after the learning phase is very low. I often have to assist SME business who are in trouble not because they have a bad product or concept but because they have very limited business skills and do not grasp the importance of be able to lead and manage a business. In the franchise industry entrepreneurs are taught to flip burgers but very little time is spent teaching them how to lead the business. Is simulation perhaps an alternative to trial and error risk management?
Views: 509
Thanks for raising a discussion that questions the bridge from the world of learning and skills development into the real world of business. I worked for a time in a company where the owners continually read the latest management theory books. That meant that we were continually implementing new theories - without attending expensive management education, they were continually learning about leadership and management - and applying it. Sometimes it worked better than others but the business has continued to grow and thrive. They were able to implement what they learned because they owned the business - so the question in SMEs then is: if it's their business, why aren't they implementing the leadership and management theory?
In the example you quote of franchises, is the structure of the skills development programme limited only to the technology of whatever the franchise produces/sells?
This is a very interesting thought.
To my mind the training of entrepreneurship should be the number one priority in our country because it is the SMME sector which is going to create the jobs, not big corporates (mines, banks, construction companies etc.) or Government.
The problem is that entrepreneurship simply cannot be taught by talk 'n chalk - it needs a learner driven methodology in which learners are given problems to solve and, in finding solutions, they teach themselves. In such an environment, young people's ability to teach each other through social networking becomes a very powerful tool and the Internet as a reference source becomes essential.
I find that developing courses using learner driven methodolgy endlessly stimulating. What is also challenging is aligning these methodologies to the more formal, NQF based structure.
Never a dull moment...........
You are 100% correct, however the effort put into teaching of entrepreneurship and business skills is declining in the formal school education sector and is being taken up as part of the enterprise development leg of BEE. I have been using a business simulator that takes new entrepreneurs through the practice of theory learnt and it challenges them to apply the theory to achieve better trading results. Most aspects of new business development are covered, but it comes back to application of the theory learnt. Learning good business skills must be a challenge not a grind. I ask the question- do pilots not use a flight simulator to learn how to fly?
The majority of unit standard based programmes with which I am familiar require a certain degree or practical application of skills learned as an inegral component of the assessment. Most unit standards will have statement such as "must be capable of demonstrating" or must be able to show and ability to lead" or some similar words requiring an action by the candidate. So just having a knowledge of many issues is no longer sufficient. The new QCTO qualifications will all require learners to have practical knowledge and experience in order to be assessed as competent and all workbased qualifications will require a workplace based practical component.
My opinion, it's all about an applied approach. Most skills programmes are written with a question mark being placed on the practical application, and I am sure you all will agree this runs far short of being adequate. Having a skilled mentor in place is part of the solution, therefore simulation or shadowing will work, but we need to stop training for training sake, and bring people closer to where the real business challanges lie, that is with working through a problem or challenge, and sometimes making the mistake, and less with the teaching aspect thereof.
I think that Jean touches on the possible solution - the importance of a mentor. Especially in learning the skills of entrepreneurship, the opportunity to try out ideas and various forms of applying in particular circumstances, should be brainstormed and guided by a more experienced coach or mentor. And this is not a three-month programme...
It certainly applies to most acquired skills that once you start doing, the actual learning takes place. Have we not reduced our training system to only imparting knowledge, and declaring competence based on the regurgitation of the facts? The QCTO model has great merit in driving for the application in the workplace, but it all depends on the availability of a suited mentor or coach - in my opinion. The question is how we much can we expect the workplace to provide such input (given that this is not their core business), or how much can the workplace afford NOT to provide such input? Bit of a wicked problem.
Zerelda raises a very importnat point. In my view employers take the view that "If, I've paid for the course then it's up to the provider to do everything. After all these years of outcomes based learning, we still have no culture of workbased mentoring and assessment. As the provider community I think that it very importnat to us to bring home the value of this to employers - there are some parts of that competency puzzle that we simply can't provide.
Perhaps our authorities should take a look at the formal mentorship programmes that are applied around the world. Much like the old apprenticeship where a formal tripartate agreement was enforced between employee, employer and the state with the employer getting a tax incentive to formally mentor the employee. It certainly addresses some of the succession problems we have. I am using a very authentic entrepreneurship/new bus simulator that reduces the cost and time spent at the university of life. I had a student tell me today that he had his pants pulled down by a computer and he was determined to rectify the situation by using the rewind key, lets hope he was not into trial and error.
I am surprised that so many agree that the mentoring angle is crucial, and that it is not reinforced more. Are we spending too much time chasing the 'Buck'? I have seen this applied in Germany and Austria on contract, and it works! And we can do much more than just support entrepreneurs with emntoring, we need to make this mandatory throughout. I have worked as a business development mentor for some time, and I promise you, this works.
Anyone that is familiar with Peter Carruthers newsletters and Business Warriors, his support website for many South African entrepreneurs, will tell you that the learning of the entrepreneur never stops. Every year Peter offers mentor ship to a certain amount of entrepreneur to assist them in their business.
There are ample Learning Transfer strategies and useful Toolkits that can be customised to facilitate the transfer of learning to the workplace. My attached file, LearningTransfer refers. Use it or lose it!

Pediatric Cardiology
Heart disease doesn't just happen to adults. Happily, most children begin life healthyand stay that way. But 8 in 1,000 children are born with heart problems, and others may develop or acquire heart disease later in life.
The good news is that constantly improving technology is leading to better diagnoses that can save many children and their parents from potential heartbreak. Using state-of-the-art technology that often doesn't require surgery has made Staten Island University Hospital's Pediatric Cardiology Program a forerunner in the treatment of children with heart problems.
This safe, non-invasive method of testing has almost completely replaced diagnostic cardiac catheterizations in children of all ages. Babies who are at risk before birth can be diagnosed with this method by uncovering conditions early on in pregnancy and monitoring the baby's heart throughout the pregnancy.
Learning of a potential problem before birth can help doctors plan on prompt and optimal treatment after the child has been born.
Today, one in every five pregnancies is high risk, creating a need for detecting a cardiac abnormality in the womb. James Ducey, MD, Obstetrics and Gynecology's Divisional Director for Obstetrics and Maternal/Fetal Medicine, along with Dr. Quraishi, completes a team who use fetal echocardiography and cardiopulmonary testing in utero, giving unborn babies the benefit of early diagnosis.
Occasionally, a more serious situation arises and a child requires open heart surgery to correct a congenital defect. Our affiliation with Cohen Children's Hospital assures parents that their child will benefit from the professional expertise of two of the finest hospitals in the country. Patients receive treatment at SIUH and travel by special pediatric transport to Cohen Children's Hospital, where a team of expert surgeons in the field of Pediatric Open Heart Surgery will perform the operation led by Dr. Vincent Parnell, Surgeon-in-Chief. After a brief recovery in Cohen Children's Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the child may return home to Staten Island University Hospital's special Pediatric ICU, where Dr. Quraishi and his specially trained staff will carefully monitor the remainder of the child's recovery.
will be available for consultations on the in-patient Pediatric Units at Staten Island University Hospital and at the Children's Subspecialty Center, 584 Forest Avenue, Staten Island NY10310 and at 501 Seaview Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305.

Skagit Valley Sweep of SCC Baseball Leaves NWAACC Playoffs A Long Shot For Dolphins
A tough weekend for SCC Baseball has left the hopes of a NWAACC Playoff bid a very long shot with the last weekend of Northern Region play schedule for this this weekend against Olympic College.
SCC is now 4 games out of 4th place with 4 games to play and the Dolphins need to win all four games this weekend and have Bellevue lose all four games to Skagit Valley to force a tie between between SCC and Bellevue and have Douglas College lose at least 3 of 4 games to Edmonds CC and force a 3 way tie with Bellevue or for Edmonds to beat Douglas College four times and leave BC and SCC tied. SCC is 6-14 in the region, Bellevue is 10-10 and Douglas is 9-11.
On Saturday, SCC lost 1-0 to Skagit Valley in 14 innings, and 7-6 with a walkoff single with 2 outs in the 9th to score the lone run of the game.
On Sunday, SCC lost 2-1 and 4-2 in Skagit:
Game 1 - SCC's Nic Van Der Van was dominant, just allowing 2 hits, but walked 6 along with 6 strikeouts and the SCC defense had 3 errors. SVC went ahead in the 5th with a run, the Dolphins tied it in the 6th, but the Cardinals scored in the top of 7th and SCC was not able to respond.
Game 2 - SCC ace Jason Shaw was on the mound and had shut down
SVC through 6 innings, as the Dolphins took the lead in the bottom of 6th with 2 runs. A controversial top of the 7th inning was played as SCC Pitching Coach Dave Snell was ejected from the game on a visit to the mound and then SCC Head Coach Ryan Browne was ejected after an argument over play at the plate. Shaw gave up three runs, but only 1 earned in the inning, as the SCC defense committed 2 of their 3 errors in that inning.
Shaw pitched 6 & 1/3 innings, allowed 5 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. He was taken out of the game in the 7th inning. SVC scored another run in the 8th inning and SCC could not muster a rally and lost 4-2. Kainoa Ahsing-Kaahanui led the SCC offense by going 4-4 in the second game with 1 RBI and 1-2 in the first game with a RBI as well.
SCC is now 18-20-1 on the season, the first time all season they have been below .500. Skagit Valley improved to 20-15 overall and 11-9 in the region. SCC plays Olympic College next weekend, with the first doubleheader being played in Bremerton on Friday, starting at 5:00pm. Game time on Sunday is 3:00pm at Meridian Park in Shoreline.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Shootings and a bombing in northern Iraq killed six people on Sunday, including a local government official in the latest outburst of violence roiling the country.
Also on Sunday, a spokesman for Iraq's prime minister said that outgoing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to visit Iraq later this week. It will be the Iranian leader's second visit to neighboring Iraq while in office.
Police officials said Sunday's first attack happened early in the day when gunmen killed two soldiers in an assault on their security checkpoint in the restive city of Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad.
Hours later, a roadside bomb killed a municipal council member and his son in a town near Mosul. Gunmen in another area just south of Mosul also sprayed a security checkpoint with bullets, killing two policemen.
Hospital officials confirmed the death toll. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
Iraqi is being hit by its worst waves of violence in years, raising fears the country is heading back toward the widespread sectarian fighting that peaked in 2006 and 2007. More than 2,600 people have been killed since the start of April.
Violence has spiked since the start of the holy month of Ramadan. On Sunday, attacks in Iraq killed at least 24 people, most of them near Sunni mosques in Baghdad as late-evening prayers held during the holy month were ending.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's spokesman, Ali al-Moussawi, said Ahmadinejad plans to arrive for a visit to Iraq on Thursday. He said Ahmadinejad would meet with senior Iraqi officials and visit Shiite holy shrines in Najaf and Karbala during the two-day visit.
Ahmadinejad, who leaves office in August, visited Iraq for the first time in March 2008.

Stephen Colbert: 'Siri Is Clearly an Arch-Conservative Woman'
[There was a video here]
When Apple announced the iPhone 4S, its most anticipated feature was a female robot-voiced intelligent personal assistant application named Siri. But Siri's introduction to the world wasn't seamless! After being accused of ignoring people who speak English with a foreign accent shortly after the phone's release, this week Siri was exposed as a pro-life zealot who refuses to tell you where you can get an abortion.
While many believe these "Siri scandals" to be much ado about nothing, Stephen Colbert had an alternate theory on tonight's Report: "Siri is clearly an arch-conservative woman—she's like Laura Ingraham, but less robotic," he said, before debuting some "modifications" he'd made to the software to make her not only ignore foreigners, but insult them, too.

USFS and BLM to hold La Garita Hills analysis public meeting (05-09-13)
LA GARITA, Colo - The Rio Grande National Forest's Saguache Ranger District and Bureau of Land Management's San Luis Valley Field Office will hold a public meeting concerning the La Garita Hills Forest Restoration environmental analysis at the Saguache Public Lands Office on May 23 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The public lands office is located at 46525 Hwy 114, Saguache. The open house meeting will also include a short presentation at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide interested individuals with information concerning the analysis area, proposed management goals and projects, and the new environmental analysis objection process. Meeting participants will be able to view maps and photos of the project area and interact with agency specialists.
The analysis area encompasses nearly 188,000 acres of lands west and northwest of the town of La Garita that are managed by the Saguache RD and SLVFO.
Several of the goals already identified by the Forest Service and BLM include: improve human safety and protect infrastructure in areas with beetle-killed trees; reduce soil erosion and restore native plants along creeks; salvage dead and dying beetle infested trees for human use and job creation; restore beetle infested areas by planting seedlings in areas with limited natural regeneration; improve and protect wildlife habitat for a variety of species including the Rio Grande cutthroat trout; and develop forests resilient to insect infestations and severe wildland fire.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

By HARRIET BISHOP
The other day a friend and I were talking about the fun things we used to do with our mothers. Of course I had to tell her my favorite story about my mom.
Everybody has heard of See's Candy. My mother loved See's Candy. She had a really big sweet tooth also. Mother didn't drive. When I got my license I did a lot of the driving for her.
Well, Mother decided to buy my Dad a box of See's candy for his birthday. He loved chocolate covered cherries, dark chocolate. She bought him candy a lot. I think it was because she could justify going to the candy shop. I ended up taking her shopping and of course we made a stop at the See's candy shop to get a box of cherries for his birthday.
It was a hot August day and we went to the candy store last so the chocolate wouldn't melt (in those days we had no air conditioners in the cars). We had to stand in line a long time. That made it difficult for my Mom because by the time they called her number, she was ready to buy out the store.
By the time we got back to my car, Mom was sucking on one of her favorite, carmel suckers and so was I. She was talking about how good she had been and how the girls were going to be so proud of her at her weight club, TOPS. She had bought a few suckers for herself but she had a one pound box of cherries for my Dad and a two pound box of assorted chocolates, light and dark. Of course I didn't come out empty handed either.
I spent all the money I had left over and came out with about five pieces of my favorite candy in a bag. We had to walk quite a ways to get back to the car in the parking lot because I had parked under a tree for shade.
Well, to make a long story short the car wouldn't start. We tried and tried and found that we were stuck fast until we could call home and get my Dad to come and help us when he got off of work around 4 p.m. that afternoon.
So we had a couple of hours to kill and no money and we were too tired to go anywhere so we just decided to stay where we were.
By now things were starting to get a little hot and we were starting to get tired etc. We had eaten all the suckers Mom had started on my candy that I had bought because it was melting. I was doling it out one piece at a time and we soon made fast work of that bag of candy. We were making wise cracks about the candy we were eating and mom was trying to justify eating all her suckers etc.
We had laughed ourselves silly and there was a lull in the conversation and a little time had gone by when my mother reaches into the bag of candy for my dad and pulls out the two pound box of mixed chocolates and says, "I think I'd better check this candy to see if it's melting."
She takes out the package and looks at it for a second or two then she says,"Oh heck, Dad won't miss a piece or two." I start to giggle and she opens up that box and we sat there and ate the whole two pound box of chocolates justifying each piece that we ate. Saying Dad would never miss it.
We laughed so hard and giggled so much our sides were sore. I can still see my mother with her little finger held out, tasting each piece of candy and if she didn't like it giving it to me to try. Licking our fingers as if we had never had a piece of chocolate in our lives. I never had as much fun with my mother in my life as I did on that hot, August, day, eating candy and laughing ourselves senseless.
She ate two pieces to my one just as fast as she could chew them. She made me swear on my life, I would never tell my father or anyone else how much candy we had eaten on that day. I didn't until she gave me permission to tell it.
To the best of my knowledge my Dad got a one pound box of See's Candy for his birthday that year and my lips were sealed.
My mother's name was Roberta Woodward Brandon. She has passed on now but I have this special memory to share. Well, that is my world until next time remember, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take...but by the moments that take our breath away!"

The chassis and suspension of the second-generation Integra were engineered with high performance a top priority. The chassiswas also designed from the start to be capable of handling the elevated performance potential of the 160-horsepower VTEC engine. Because of this advance planning, and the sophisticated technology of the Integra, the GS-R suspension geometry, suspension tuning and primary braking systems are identical to those of the 1992 Integra RS, LS and GS 3-door models.
Like other Integra models, the GS-R uses a fully independent, double-wishbone suspension system, a speed-sensitive, variable power-assisted, rack-and-pinion steering system, 4-wheel disc brakes and an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
Double-Wishbone Front Suspension
Double-wishbone suspension has been proven in Formula One racing cars. Its sophisticated design is compact, efficient and has excellent ride and handling characteristics, with outstanding on-center feel, quick turn-in and flat cornering.
The upper and lower control arms are widely separated for optimal load dispersion and provide effective anti-dive control while braking or accelerating. The geometry is arranged to permit minimal camber change for precise wheel control, to make handling sure and predictable. A 23 mm-diameter stabilizer bar controls body roll during cornering without degrading bump-absorption capabilities.
Front Shock Absorbers
The gas-pressurized front shock absorbers feature advanced developments by Showa. Each shock absorber incorporates a Teflon, rather than steel, piston ring for near-perfect sealing and reduced friction. This allows the use of a unique second valve for more precise damper control than is possible with conventional, singlevalve shock absorbers, both under compression and tension. The more precise damping control is particularly effective when steering into a corner or during slalom-type maneuvers. With the shock absorber exerting a more linear damping force, steering is more responsive and initial body roll is reduced.
Double-Wishbone Rear Suspension
The rear suspension is a refined design that provides both precise wheel control and, because it is very compact, more usable luggage space. An innovative feature of this system is a compensating link pivoted at the front of the trailing arm. It cancels undesirable toe-change to help keep the rear wheels parallel, thus maintaining stability, particularly during braking and over rough surfaces.
Rear suspension geometry also incorporates built-in camber change to improve cornering power and reduce rear body lift during braking. Gas-pressurized shock absorbers provide taut, precise damping and a 14.7mm-diameter stabilizer bar controls body roll.
Variable Power-Assisted Rack-And-Pinion Steering
The Integra steering system controls the amount of power assist according to vehicle speed so that road feel is maintained. Sensors monitor road speed, and the system adjusts itself automatically to provide maximum assistance at very low speeds. As speed rises, power assistance decreases at a linear rate, reaching its lowest level around 35 mph. The transition is so smooth that most drivers are not aware of the change; the force required to steer the car remains fairly constant. A high degree of road feel is maintained under all driving conditions.
Power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes are a standard feature of all Acura automobiles. On the Integra, the size of the ventilated front discs is 262mm (10.3 in.). The solid rear discs are 239mm (9.4 in.) in diameter. Power assistance is by means of a compact tandem vacuum booster.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
The GS-R is equipped with a computer-controlled Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) developed by Honda R&D. In operation, the ABS modulates hydraulic pressure, cycling the brakes as often as ten times a second. This allows the wheels to continue rotating during hard braking, helping to retain effective steering control. The system is similar to the one used in the Legend and Vigor, but it is calibrated to the size and weight of the Integra. If the ABS system fails, normal braking is still provided by the primary system.
Wheels And Tires
The GS-R is equipped with distinctive 5.5 JJ x14 cast-aluminum wheels.The six-spoke design is also used on Integra GS models, and bears a family resemblance to the five-spoke design used for the NSX.
Michelin XGT-V4 P195/60 R14 85VAll Seasonhigh-performancetires are used for a combination of precise, predictable performance on dry pavement, and a high level of stability and confidence in inclement weather.

Shawn Horcoff returns to the lineup tonight, but Eric Belanger walked into Rexall Place this morning in a walking boot and he's been put on the injured list. Belanger has been infinitely better this season than he was last year, especially on the PK, and he, like Horcoff, will be missed.
It isn't great for the Oilers to have their veteran centres sitting out due to injuries, but it is another opportunity for Anton Lander to keep developing. As long as the injured list remains short the Oilers should be able to stay competitive.
The Oilers face the Canucks for the 2nd time in nine games, and after a come-from-behind win in their season opener the Oilers will try to avoid a three-game losing streak.
Edmonton wasn't very good in Colorado on Saturday, and they will need a much more energetic effort tonight.
Ryan Whitney was paired with Theo Peckham at the morning skate, and he will be take a seat in the pressbox. Whitney hasn't been great, but I think this is Ralph Krueger trying to send a message that anyone can be benched. That wasn't the case last year, and sometimes the only way a coach can get people's attention is by sitting a veteran in the pressbox. This is the first time in his career that Whitney has been a healthy scratch, and he was obviously disappointed. "I don't agree with it obviously, but I respect the decision and I will be better when I get back in," said Whitney.
I suspect this will be short-term for Whitney, who seems to be lacking confidence more than anything, because is overall game is better than Potter and Fistric. However, if you aren't playing up to your potential, Krueger is showing he won't be afraid to cut your icetime.
Krueger is also hoping that 91/57/56 can find the chemistry they had in OKC. Todd Nelson said they were his most consistent trio in both ends of the rink, and we'll see if they can bring that level of consistency to the NHL.
- Lots of teams are interested in Whitney, and after being stripped of his "A" and now a healthy scratch, I could see a trade scenario unfolding at some point. The issue is the Oilers still don't have enough quality NHL depth to make that move, unless it is for another D-man. I can see situation where Whitney gets dealt, and then plays well somewhere else, and those fans who have been begging for his benching, will then complain he got dealt. Whitney is not nearly as bad as some are portraying him. Of course he can play better, but I'd rather let him play out of it than move him when his value is likely lower than it should be.
- Belanger has an open cut on his foot so he will be out at least a week. He was put on IR so he is out at least 7 days.
- Peckham has done a few three-a-day workouts as they Oilers try to get him back in game shape. Right now Krueger has mentioned, "We have 7 D-men" on numerous occasions, so it is clear Peckham isn't in the picture right now. OKC only plays on Friday and Saturday for the next three weeks, so if the Oilers send him down for a conditioning stint, it likely won't happen until later this week. They'd rather put him through extensive conditioning here.
- It might just be a coincidence but in the two games Horcoff sat out the Oilers PP went 0-for-6. You might not like him on the PP, but he has a valuable role.
- I wonder who will be the first person to write the article saying how Yakupov can't keep scoring like this because of his ridiculous 29.4%. I will name that person the ultimate "fun sponge."
- Thomas Vanek has been in on 19 of the Sabres 27 goals. He's been incredible so far this season and I hope he keeps it up. I love offence.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: In previous years you'd expect the Oilers to lose this game, fall to .500 and extend their losing streak, but they will avoid the obvious and pick up an exciting 5-4 victory.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Gagner matches his career-high and extends his scoring streak to nine games. The Oilers PP gets back on track with two goals while the Sedins combine for five points.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: After picking up an assist in the first period, Yakupov delivers a crushing hit on Maxim Lapierre. Yakupov finishes the evening with two hits. After the game he says, " I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning that I have more hits, 9, than points, 7. I wonder if "Plums"* will point that out this Saturday. I thought he loves gritty players."
*If you didn't catch the Plums reference read NSOGDP from GDB: 08 below.
February 04 2013, 06:11PM
I wish that the Canucks had traded Luongo. Schneider might have a bright future but Luongo scares me a lot more than Schneider does.
Nice to see Whitney take a seat. There is more accountability under Krueger. I feel like Fistric has outplayed Whitney while Potter has been playing better of late. Whitney's spot in lineup should not be a given because he simply isn't playing well enough.
I think the Oilers will lose tonight. 3-2 Canuckleheads. Nuge finally gets on the board and J. Schultz pots one as well. Hope I am wrong on the score. GO OILERS GO!!
February 04 2013, 06:13PM
But his sister, Lucy is tough and will take care of business in the parking lot after the game.
5 cents please
February 04 2013, 06:17PM
I believe that Whitney just needs a different prespective and watching the game from 100 feet up will be a good thing.
He has more time and space than he probably thinks and watching a game may provide that prespective.........he is too good not to recover from a benching.
February 04 2013, 06:33PM
What do Gagner and Whitney get the Oilers before the trade deadline?
An older, cheaper centre than Gagner but just as affective, also reliable to kill PKs(case of Horcoff/Belanger absence)?
A 2-4 d-man that can be counted upon in all aspects of the game with some back bone and presence?
I believe the Oilers will trade the two named players along with some prospects to obtain another centre or defenseman. Which ever they don't get in a trade they will try to obtain via free-agency.
I'm not really sad to say it but Whitney's days are numbered. I can't see many teams lining up for his services, so him alone won't bring anything in return.
If you look at the Oilers forwards in two groups; top and bottom-4 of the 6 in the top are written in stone.(IMO) The two questions and eraseables are Hemsky and Gagner. The bottom 6 is where I believe the Oilers are comfortable and have options to work with. Horcoff, Belanger, Pettrell, Lander, Hartikanen, Eager, Jones, VandeVelde, Paajarvi. That is 9 players that the Oilers have a luxury of chosing from for the bottom 6 positions. Include a name of two from the current prospect list and the Oilers, I believe, have no worries.
Going back to the top 6 and Gagner/Hemsky. Most math adds up to Gagner becoming the dearly departed.
Gagner, Whitney, future picks, prospect/s would be able to get what and from whom? I don't really follow the rest of the NHL or any other teams(only what I see on Oilers broadcasts and highlights). Is there any teams out there that would be willing to entertain that idea and have something in return the Oilers would want?
Sure Whitney has played sub-par but can't believe how Oiler Fans dump on players returning from major surgery. Hemsky last year which was clearly a rehab year - he is flying and back to his normal self this year.
and now Whitney - who basically has had reconstructive surgery on not one but both feet. An issue that is worse than what forced Petr Forsberg to retire.
so it is an absolute that it will it take time for him to return to form. But I'd stop there, he is not junk, a pylon, (insert insults used for horcoff here)
Uh, you mean the surgery he had 2 years ago now? Whitney's ankle is done, which is sad to see, but he can't pivot and keep up with the pace at NHL level anymore.
I think people forget too that Whitney hadn't played competitively in about a full calendar year, coming off of a pretty serious injury and not really any training camp to speak of, of course it's going to take awhile for him to get back to full speed both physically and mentally.
I like that he's being sat and I hope that with that perspective and a little more time he gets his game back.
But you're right Gregor, I could totally see this as being on of those classic sell low scenarios just in time for him to regain his form somewhere else.
I don't think Willis is going to like being called a "fun sponge." ;)
February 04 2013, 07:18PM
Oilers need to put RNH with Hemsky and Yakupov. I fear he may not get a goal for a while, he needs someone to spread the attacking zone with. Hall is too quick to head to the net.
Maybe even try Hall with Hemsky and Gagner, and RNH with Yakupov and Eberle.
February 04 2013, 07:38PM
I agree with you 100%; when a player hasn't been playing consistently like Whitney, they need half a season in in order to really get their legs under them, however his ankle injury is a concern as to how that may turn out. I've seen players whom were stagnant all season long, get traded and turn it on. We're only 9 games in we shouldn't get to impatient and send him packing.
February 04 2013, 07:48PM
@Sanaa Montana
Yes, why would the Oilers want to keep a young second line centre that can actually score?
Especially when you can obtain a older 3rd line centre to go along with our other 2 older 3rd and 4th line centres...
Can never have too much checking!

Do oilers trade for O'Rielly on the stipulation he signs or just trade for his rights? That would really affect what is offered for him.

Well said! People don't realize how hard and fast these NHL games really are. It's difficult for a player to play well every single game, let alone after being injured for a year.
Gagner is the perfect example of why they shouldn't go trade someone just because they aren't playing well. Gagner had his off year last season, and now this year he's been one of the best players every game.
February 04 2013, 08:14PM
Anyone have a link for the game? Difficult to watch the Oil in the Philippines :(
God I hate the Canucks.
I'd love to see someone teach Taylor Hall that he can't deke through 5 guys standing up on the blue line. He has turned the puck over 5 times already and we are only in the first period!
February 04 2013, 08:31PM
Hemsky strikes again!!!!

I believe to re-sign Gagner will take a long term deal at over $4 million a year. What Gagner does is not worth $4 million a year or a long term investment at this point to the Oilers. It may be worth the money and the term to some teams in the NHL, but not to the Oilers considering the skill level of Gagner's linemates of his contract year. One could also take his second assists into consideration as well.
Is there a difference in a centre that can score and the one that can actually score? I'm not sure I understand your question.
Why would you want another 3rd line centre?
Only time Gagner checks is during the off-nights poker games they play on the road. /leh sigh.!..
February 04 2013, 09:04PM
@Sanaa Montana
Just take a peak at the top 45 scoring centres for the last 3 years.
Find one that is older, cheaper and puts up PK minutes.
February 04 2013, 09:07PM
Nice read by lander.
February 04 2013, 09:07PM
Oilers give up their blue line way too easily. The Hall, Nuge ands Ebs line must have a field day in practice.

smells like someone is baking turnovers in here...

Not enough the last couple nights
Wish there was an option to decline the penalty shot and take the powerplay
February 04 2013, 10:38PM
Frustrating one to lose. Unfortunately, we tend to come out on the short end of those ones too often. You're playing with fire if you can't close out a 1 goal lead late in the 3rd. Plenty of try tonight, just couldn't seal the deal.
Wish there was an option to decline the penalty shot and take the powerplay
I was saying the exact same thing. Hall is like the golfer who can drive it 300 but chokes on the 3' putts constantly.
Shots were 40-25 in favor of the opposition yet again. Stop the BS passing and shoot the damn puck! Dubnyk has faced more shots than any other goaltender in the league. RNH looks awful, and won't throw a check. Smitty has a piano tied to his ass, Hemsky is a puck hog and Taylor Hall is a turnover machine! Great first period though....minus the horrible first powerplay.
February 04 2013, 10:48PM
It would prefer they call the pp as well it might of helped at least get to the SO. Oilers were outplayed, the Canucks seem to be able to foil any developing opportunity they had.
On a positive note, I thought the Nordic line looked great! Lander may be small, but he is aggressive as hell.
Another stinker tonight. I cannot believe the number of turnovers in all 3 zones, staggering. And not nearly enough shots; Duby saved them from being embarrassed. I think the whole first line needs a night in the press box. But the worst part is that its not fun to watch them constantly turn the puck over and not get any quality chances.
February 04 2013, 10:55PM
Tonight is just another example of why this team still isn't any good.
It's that simple.
The biggest problem with the Oilers top six is they hang on to the puck too long giving the other team time set up defensive systems. Its easier to get position on a body than it is the puck. Eberle and Hemsky are the biggest culprits. Start moving the puck quicker and more often and we'll start having success.
Howie Meeker
February 05 2013, 12:51AM
There is something about this team I just don't understand. Coming into the season it was all about having an AHL goalie and AHL defense but man were we going to score goals!
Our defense has been OK, Dubnyk has been great and we can't score at all.
What gives?
February 05 2013, 08:16AM
I'm starting to think that the Oilers actually hired that NewAgeSys guy and their using his system on 5x5 play.
I would say a deal needs to be made for a centre now, who can be a force. Not sayin Arnott is the guy, but he is worth the few bucks if he can go that is. There are no options in OKC.
agreed, if Horc is gone for 6 weeks the season looks fairly perilous without some veteran/impact help. Van Velde, or Belangetr for that matter, is not Shawn Horcoff. RNH is simply not strong enough to be the #1 center in all situations, Gagner is weak defensively, and our PK is going to go to crap. Every time I see RNH and Ebs get PK time for the last 10 seconds of a PK I get a lump in my throat. I think they have given up two goals in that situation this year, drives me nuts.
February 05 2013, 09:23AM
I would like to see Nail take a ride in the press box for a game or two perhaps. The kids looks so akward and afraid in his own zone. He dishes the puck to avoid the hit most times and doesn't really have a sense of defensive awareness. That and his passes are pretty terrible. Seem to break the flow of the break out alot of times by making ill timed cross ice passes etc. That "Pass" to Hemsky looked more like a fanned on dump in to me that worked itself into a pass. Not sure that was his intent but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at least on that one. As for the rest of the team, if I'm Kreuger I spend the entire next practice on Faceoffs and break outs. IF there is time left they work on some offensive zone access (Ie. dump and chase)
February 05 2013, 09:37AM
Who is this Linus Van Pelt that you are referring to? Can he take draws? Play on the pk?
Never mind, I already don't like him because I can't fight him at hockeyfights.com, he's obviously too soft.
Not a fighter, but he can BLANKET the oppositions best players .......
Gene Principe
February 05 2013, 10:24AM
I agree it will take time. The tough thing is that he is an offensive defenceman who has enough defensive ability not to be a liability. Now coming off two years of injury he's reticent to make those risky passes because he seems aware that the risk is too high because his skating just isn't there. So now he's an ineffective offensive defenseman with somewhat marginal defensive ability without his skating.
Also the problem is that Whitney's injuries affect the most important aspect of any player's game which is his skating. The shoulder issues of Hemsky don't affect his skating, which is his strength, while his shot has always been average to slightly above average and his passing skills don't really require a lot of force from his shoulders.
PS. I've always been a big fan of Gagner and thought his production was fairly decent. The fact that he's only 1 year older than Eberle should never be lost on fans either. Now at age 23 he finally looks stronger and quicker with his turns and pivots. He hasn't played as well as some people are saying but he has definitely improved and the one thing I like is he's been finishing his checks.
February 05 2013, 12:01PM
1) Yeah.......it was frustrating...... 2) Dubnyk is playing like a #1 starter type 3) Nordic line is looking good...might be worth keeping them up and together even when we get our injured players back 4) Face off %'s are BRUTAL and a big part of the reason that we're constantly getting outshot 5) Chances are above 50% that Whitney will be moved before or at the trade deadline 6) It really looks like Krueger is fully committed to playing the youngsters in all game situations ( PP, PK, Last minute of close games etc) Letting them learn in a trial by fire manner, rather then looking to shelter them in any way. This will speed their development....but will be a little painful to watch for this season. 7) Even with his cough ups etc. Taylor Hall was a beast out there tonight.
P.S Ryan Smyth starting to pick things up a little.
February 05 2013, 12:02PM
If you could choose one , would you take
a) Game goes to a shootout? b) Fistric makes complete contact on that BIG missed hit?

I'm kind of on the fence about Gagner. I see talent and take into account his age. But still not that confident that he'll be the right guy when the chips are down.
I'm honestly trying to get better informed. When you say you've "always been a big fan of Gagner", can you elaborate? Would it be possible to list the 5 things you like the most that have lead you to support him?
February 05 2013, 12:14PM
I've been wondering about 2 things.
1) Is there another team in the league that falls down/gets knocked down as much as the Oilers do? It would be interesting to keep a count of the number of fall downs per game. Is it just a result of being a small team? a young team? or what?
2) I here all the time how the Oilers are either the fastest team, or at least one of the fastest teams in the leaque.....THis seems wrong for two reasons....a) most other teams seem to be out hustling us and b) most other teams we play seem to get far more stretch passes completed against us than we do against them. Anyone feel this way?

The 2011 Minor League RBI king picked up where he left off last season, going 4-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs as Tulsa topped San Antonio, 7-2, in their Texas League opener.
Arenado, who was named the Rockies' top prospect and MLB.com's No. 22 prospect overall this offseason, singled in his first three at-bats and doubled in the eighth inning.
Shortstop Josh Rutledge, Colorado's No. 16 prospect, homered to lead off the game, and then Michael Mitchell doubled. After Mitchell stole third, Arenado singled in the second of the Drillers' four runs in the first.
With the score, 5-2, in the eighth, Arenado put the game out of reach with a bases-loaded one-out double that plated Lars Davis and Jimmy Cesario.
Arenado's Texas League debut displayed the kind of production he was routinely capable of last season. He led all of Minor League baseball with 122 RBIs and added 20 home runs for Modesto in the California League.
He also he hit .298, slugged .487 and went on to be named Most Valuable Player of the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League following the season.
The 2009 second-round pick drove in 65 runs in 92 games for Class A Asheville in the South Atlantic League in 2010. He's never hit below .298 in three seasons of Minor League play.
The third baseman, who turns 21 later this month, inspired enough confidence in the Rockies to invite him to Major League camp for Spring Training this season. But he struggled at the plate and was sent down by Colorado.

GlassFish and MySQL: The Series
By edort on Nov 05, 2008
With more than 100 million downloads, MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. MySQL's popularity is indicative of the growing adoption of open-source software. Developers are using open-source software because it offers them a reliable and low-cost alternative for developing their applications. This adoption trend extends to middleware too.
