Mikael Backlund vs Kyle Turris
Kent Wilson
October 14 2011 10:25AM
With the the Kyle Turris rumor floating around, one of the comparisons that keeps coming up is to Calgary's own Mikael Backlund. In part to judge Turris' worth on the ice, but also becasue Backlund is one of the assets assumed to be involved in a potential deal.
Neither guy has much time in the NHL, so there isn't a lot of data to work with. We'll go off their sophomore seasons from last year.
First up, the counting stats. Turris appeared in 65 games, averaged about 11 minutes per night (1.5 on the PP) and scored 11 goals and 25 points. Backlund appeared in 73 games, averaging about 12 minutes per night (only 0.5 minutes on the PP) and managed 10 goals and 25 points. Both have '89 birthdays (22-years old) and were taken in the first round of the 2007 draft. Not a lot to seperate them so far.
On to the advanced stuff. First we'll look at Backlund's relative corsi, zone start and relative quality of competition:
Relative corsi: +15.2 (2nd)
Zone start: 54.3% (3rd easiest)
Relative Qual Comp: -0.168 (3rd easiest)
Backlund faced some of the easier minutes on the team, but managed to put up one of the best possession rates as well. He has mostly been protected his entire time in the big leagues, but has never garnered a negative corsi rate. That's the first step you look for in developing kids.
Relative corsi: +9.9 (2nd)
Zone start: 66.1% (Easiest)
Relative Qual Comp: -0.673 (Easiest)
Turris' circumstances were similar, but cushier than Backlund's. His ZS ratio was a nearly 12% higher and he faced even easier competition. Mikael ventured beyond the fourth line for the Flames now and then, particularly when he skated with Jarome and Tanguay at the end of the season. This data suggests Tippett made sure Turris never saw anything more than the other team's drones.
To further compare the two, we can correct their corsi rate for starting position, essentially "zeroing out" the effect of high offensive zone starts (which tend to add about +0.8 corsi per extra faceoff in the offensive end).
|ES ice
|corsi rate
|raw corsi
|ZS differential
|corr corsi
Here is where we see Backlund pull away a bit. It looks like a majority of Turris' positive possession rate came from his extremely high ZS ratio (the 8th highest in the league amongst regular forwards). Backlund, however, still sports a double digit corsi rate even after we take zone starts into account.
This analysis supports my earlier contention that Turris has done next to nothing to prove himself at the NHL level thus far. Last year was the first time he merely held his head above water in the big league, which explains the Coyotes disinterest in signing him to a big ticket as well as the lack of impetus to get him back onto the active roster. There's potential there because Turris is still young and has a nice pedigree, but that's about it.
I'll reiterate that Turris is worth some interest as a trade target, but only if the cost to acquire him is low. His current on-ice value isn't nothing, but it's close. The purpose of adding him is to hope he figures things out and takes a few giant steps forward, otherwise he's basically a replacement level player. Also, any talk of dealing Backlund for him is nonsensical: at best, the Flames are running in place with that kind of deal. At worst, they're moving the superior player.

I was wondering if there was any truth to the rumors tht Jason spezza could be traded to Calgary, I have no idea wat assests would have to go for tht rumor to be true but is there any truth to tht?
October 14 2011, 10:30AM
I agree - my only hope is that if there IS serious talk about Turris, that Backlund is NOT on the table. Neimsz on the other hand....I think Turris will probably top out higher than Neimsz
Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for posting this. Couldn't believe all the talk on the radio (in Calgary, no less), that perhaps Backlund for Turris straight up wouldn't be enough to get him! Blew my mind. Backlund is currently the superior player and I agree with your analysis of this situation 100%.
All i can say is to trade backlund at this point of his career without even seeing what he is would be very dangerous. Ya turris is 3rd overall, big deal. The only way i would trade backlund would be in a package for a bonafide #1 center. But Turris? The coyotes are trading from a weak position So make them take the crappy end of the deal, if not WALK away!!! Let someone else gamble on him, and he wants 3 mil, so what if cgy makes the trade and they say will we are not gonna pay you 3 mil then he leaves at end of the year then what??? Lose backs for nothing.... no,no,no, take hagman,niemz and a 3rd if not whatever
With Flames lack of deopth at center Turris would be worth a gamble at the right price which is not Backlund. If he could be had for a Stajan, Hagman or mid level prospect Wahl, Negrin or combo of then go for it. Don't see Phoenix going for that though.
Thanks Kent
I hope Steinberg didnt put you up to this. I was nagging him for it since he was the guy most bearish a Turris trade. He should have had to do the leg work.
Just cause he was a 3rd overall pick doesn't mean he should have been drafted 3rd overall. So we shouldn't pay in a trade what a 3rd overall pick is worth.
Let's look at current worth: Backlund, before his injury #1 center, deserved or not he was suppose to be the #1 center. Kyle Turris, 3rd/4th liner.....Maybe higher this year with depth issues, but with Tippet there I doubt it, if he distrusted him that much and offseason won't do much to change it.
So all these idiots on the radio thinking this is a good deal are brain dead. Maybe Backlund hasn't put up the "counting" numbers that people want when he was penciled in as the first line center, but you don't get those big numbers playing 4th line(3rd line spot duty) and a final call to the 1st at the end of the year. Turris had easier competition, easier starts and barely beat Backlund in counting numbers(PPG). The only way a Backlund for Turris makes sense if WE are the ones getting extra picks back. And that only makes sense if Backlunds contract demands are out to lunch.
Agree with the article 100%. And even if Phoenix threw in a pick I still wouldn't go for it. We're supposed to be getting younger and more skilled and I don't see how swapping your best young forward advances the agenda. Even if Turris does reach his potential I wouldn't regret not making the trade down the road; it's simply too much risk right now.

If we move Backlund for Turris... Without giving Backlund a chance to centre our top line...
Now Backlund may never score more than 30 pts. We don't know. But to take a chance on Turris... Over Backlund... Makes no sense.
I say you try to get Turris for a prospect AND for someone like Stajan. Probably not in the cards, nor on the table... But try to make a move where the Maloney unloads a cancer... for a cancer + prospect.
If Phoenix is unwilling to make this type of trade... Do we really need Turris? Especially w/Reinhart, Horak and Backlund already in the system??
Sounds pretty unamonious! No way, no how, Backlund is going anywhere. Kid has talent & skill. Now Turris in the right environment could be our next future core. But I dont know what Phoenix wants, I dont think anyone in Phoenix knows as they are probably still debating what to do with him, airlift him out or punish him. So what that Turris has said he wanted out, Phoenix management will just say"tell me something I dont know" If I were Phoenix, it doesnt cost them anything to sit him. They will probably wait until Nov/December, see where they sit standings wise & what are their glaring deficiencies & use Turris as part of the solution at that point. If they are doing OK & in the mix, then, maybe a Stajan or Hagman & a 3rd will fit their needs. If they are struggling in the bottom 3rd, they may want better prospect/pick type of package & hope to get a bidding war later in the year. Would anyone give up Byron for Turris. That would be more of a equivalent prospect for prospect deal & Byron might fit Phoenix scenario quite well & personally, I wouldnt be opposed to that deal.
October 14 2011, 11:49AM
No way we trade Backlund for Turris straight up. If they took a package that centered around Stajan then we are talking, except who in their right mind would take Stajan (what's Glenn Sather's number?) In my opinion Turris is way overrated. I would maybe trade a 3rd round pick for him.
There is almost no incarnation of a deal regarding Turris that I think I would like. At least one that Tippitt would go for. I mean given the opportunity I would straight across trade Stajan, but I would not be inclined to deal Staj with a prospect or a pick.
Alexandre Daigle was drafted 1st overall in his year, but that doesn't make him anything more than an extremely overrated pick. I feel it is the same situation with Turris.
I wouldn't part with anything more than a player like Stajan or Hagman for Turris. I'm just hoping Flames management thinks the same.
How did you do the adjusted corsi for the zone start? When I run your numbers I get a reduction of .79 in the corsi events per extra o zone start, but I always thought the adjustment was more like .6?
Regardless, I see no reason why the Flames should give up anything more than whatever the RFA compensation would be on whatever deal they would be willing to pay Turris. Otherwise, both sides can rot.
October 14 2011, 01:48PM
I don't see any reason to acquire Kyle Turris if Mikael Backlund is apart of the deal.
October 14 2011, 01:49PM
Great analysis. I have been arguing similar points elsewhere (under a different handle). Hopefully this enlightens certain people who are seemingly equating Turris' high draft position as a meaningful indicator of current superiority re:Backlund.
Backlund started skating again today, but I believe he still needs to have another procedure next week before things can really start moving towards his return. Hopefully his recovery progresses faster than first anticipated and we'll see him within the next 2-3 weeks.
October 14 2011, 02:45PM
Let's dream a bit here. What if we could get Maloney to take Stajan and a prospect (Nemisz, whomever) for Turris. Would anyone mind if we looked like this up the middle for the next few years:
Backlund Reinhart Turris Horak
That's a decent group of centres.
If a reasonable trade can be made, I say make it. Backlund's probably not on the table. Backlund may end up another Dustin Boyd - we really don't know yet, as he hasn't had the opportunity to get important minutes, offencively speaking. But I'd move Nemisz, and someone else (Stajan/Hagman - what do you do with Hagman once Morrison and Backlund come back?) for Turris.
Maybe even a pick.
October 14 2011, 03:02PM
Odd that everyone wants to move Nemisz. Young power forwards take time to develop and the kid was excellent in Abby last year.
October 14 2011, 03:23PM

I believe the rule of thumb that we've been using is .8 for Corsi and roughly .6 for Fenwick.
As for the rest of your post, that's in line with my view of Turris. On an offer sheet from 1.034 to 1.567M, the compensation for RFAs is a third rounder. Between 1.567 and 3.134M, it's a second round pick. Based on his actual play, that's about all he's worth, and in terms of salary, I wouldn't pay him much past 1.5-1.7M on a two year deal. Even paying him that might be more a gesture of good will than connected to any merit based assessment.

He seems to be off to a great start this year as well, already collecting two or three points in two games. We have no idea what Turris is at this point? Is he gonna live up to the third overall billing? Is he the sheltered kid who is never gonna be able to thrive in the NHL unless he is given Sedin type zone starts? Is he gonna continue the drama queen crap?
IMO giving up Neimsz is probably already to much for the kid. Maybe a Bouma and a pick? Bouma will be an NHLer, maybe no where near the ceiling of a Turris, but Bouma will be a more servicable 3rd/4th liner than Turris that Tippet can use for more than offensive zone faceoffs.

3rd round pick and one of either stajan,kostoupolus, hagman
Wow you really did your homework on this man! When I started to read this I was excited at the idea and was willing to see the trade, and after well...now I just feel dumb in general.
3rd round pick and one of either stajan,kostoupolus, hagman
I think Hagman or Kosto is the most realisitc, Coyotes are not taking on Stajan money for Turris, they'd just pay Turris if that was the case.
Hagman is good and off the books at the end of the year, same with Kosto. I think the most realistic is a 2nd round pick to the Coyotes gets it done, but again, we don't have one........
It's a game of chicken to the deadline, just like the Erixon crap, nothing gets done till the deadline is my best guess.
@Robert Cleave
and @Robert Cleave. The Fenwick/Corsi distinction nabbed me. Much obliged.
Umm, and @Kent Wilson. Friday afternoon, booze, whatever.
In other news, Negrin assigned to the ECHL? Wasn't he the guy Dutter was so high on he figured he could afford to move Aulie? At one point, d prospects were our only apparent strength, now I'm not sure if we have any d-prospects left outside of Brodie or Breen. Sutter's draft record is looking worse all the time.

That's alright in terms of value, but Phx would probably match that in a second. Either way, all I can say is that reading HFBoards makes me increasingly angry when they talk about "Backlund for Turris" or giving up Calgary's 1st rounder for this draft.

Theres John Ramage, never gets talked about and will get a lot of time in College to develop, be interesting to see what he becomes once he leaves college.

Agreed Phoenix would match, although a 3M a year deal might make them choke.
Of course, putting the Coyotes in a spot via an offer sheet might get you called on the carpet by that team's, er, ownership. Not that I would ever presume a conflict of interest. /whistles.
October 14 2011, 08:24PM
Well Maloney's got a player who doesn't want to play for the Coyotes. At the same time, Maloney might not trade him because sources say he's not going to be held hostage by Turris.
Hard to tell if he would be a good fit on the Flames. Sure he is young like Backlund, but technically Backlund like Turris, is unproven as well.
Hard to tell how Backlund shapes up this season, how he comes back from the broken pinky, who is linemates are and how much ice time he will get.
Once he and Morrison come back, Moss probably goes down to line two with GlenX and Joker. I like Joker with Hags. I also liked Moss centering Iggy with Tangs. If Morrison goes to the 3rd line, hopefully he can ignite Stempniak, it's still early.
Tanguay-Backlund-Iginla Glencross-Jokinen-Moss Bourque-Morrison-Stempniak Hagman-Stajan-Jackman.
That leaves Horak, and Kostopolous as the odd men out. Horak probably goes back to the minors.
October 15 2011, 12:51AM
I say DO NOT trade Mikael Backlund at this stage in his career with the Flames. I think his upside is at least as good as Turris and maybe better. He is just starting to show signs of as a productive 2 way center and is growing up in our system. Trading Backlund for Turris would be a Sutter riverboat gambler deal. We've been there and done that. Any deal for Turris has to be made with us coming out as the clear winner in the trade. I really believe Backlund will show significant improvement with us this year, and even more next year.

Popular high school grad passes away from very rare condition
NEWPORT, CARTERET COUNTY - A popular local high school graduate has passed away after battling a rare disorder that affects less than 100 people worldwide.
Jesse Wagstaff was known for his upbeat spirit at Croatan High School in Newport. But he died Monday evening from metatropic dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism characterized by skeletal abnormalities. Wagstaff was 18 years old.
"Jesse was a positive kid," said Croatan High School Assistant Principal Kay Zimarino. "In many other respects, he was just like any other teenage boy in this building. He had hopes and dreams."
Doctors said they didn't expect Wagstaff to live past his infancy.
"He had a great spirit. Jesse lived by the saying, 'Never give up.' He'd always tell that to other people and he'd put it on his Facebook. He would have it on his wheelchair to 'Never give up,' and those are great words," Zimarino said.
Wagstaff graduated from Croatan High School in June 2013.

|In response to Re: Drill or Jackhammer the concrete of basement when installing new tub.
BTW, the builder told me that the concrete is about 4 inch and gravel below that.
thanks again!
: Hi,
: I'm trying to finish my basement by myself. The drain left by builder need to be moved by about 10 inch. Therefore, digging into the concrete seems to be a "have to" job. I'm wondering if I can use drill to finish this work instead of jackhammer. I'm afraid of jackhammer is too BIG for this job and may damage concrete. If I can use drill, how do I proceed? Any advice would be highly appreciated.
: Thank you very much for taking your time and giving me some advice.

See iPhone in action.Watch Video
Mount Sinai Hospital
iPhone provides vital link to medical records.
Saving lives means making fast, informed decisions. And at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, iPhone instantly delivers the information that physicians need to make critical treatment decisions. The hospital recently developed VitalHub, an in-house built iPhone app that gives physicians secure, remote access to patient records, test results, vital statistics, and medical literature from its vast internal data network. Using VitalHub on iPhone allows Mount Sinai's clinicians to respond more rapidly to patient needs wherever and whenever they arise.
"Our goal is to provide the cutting-edge best medicine, best teaching, and best research," says Dr. Thomas Stewart, Chief of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "We need something that's going to allow us to change rapidly. Five years from now, the medical world is going to be very different. With iPhone, we have a platform that allows us to adapt."
The intuitive iPhone interface enables physicians to focus on patients instead of grappling with technology. "iPhone is driving this paradigm shift in health care," says Prateek Dwivedi, Mount Sinai's Chief Information Officer. "We've empowered our clinicians to just do their jobs. It's not about the complexities. It's not about the difficulties. It's about having the right information at the right time."
And when it's not helping doctors treat patients, iPhone makes it easier to take care of administrative tasks, Stewart says. "iPhone allows me to manage my day, to be on the go, to make the 200 phone calls I have to make each day, to connect with the literature, to take care of my patients. It does it all."
Stewart notes that healthcare providers in the academic world not only have more patients to see, but the demands of research are great. "I have a vast amount of reading to get through to help me make decisions in the best interest of my patients. Tools such as iPhone help me get better health care to the bedside faster."
Secure Operations
Incorporating iPhone into the hospital's network was a painless procedure. The IT staff quickly integrated the phone with Mount Sinai's Microsoft Exchange server, giving physicians full access to email, calendars, and contacts. "It's a very simple deployment," Dwivedi says. "We use the iPhone Configuration Utility to put the profiles on. We don't require a lot of backend infrastructure to manage these devices."
Because of Mount Sinai's need to protect both confidential hospital information and sensitive patient data, the built-in security capabilities of iPhone are essential. "iPhone allows us to do the two levels of user authentication that we require: using your password and VPN certificates," explains Giancarlo De Lio, the hospital's Manager of Innovation and Prototype Development.
"Whenever we implement new technology at the hospital, it has to adhere to our strict security policies," Dwivedi adds. "iPhone is an enterprise-ready device. Out of the box, we have confidence in the encryption and our ability to manage the device remotely."
Vital Apps
With iPhone in the hands of its physicians, Mount Sinai decided to develop its own in-house iPhone app, VitalHub. The app brings together clinical data, reference materials, and patient information from 66 different applications within the hospital's network — all in one simple mobile interface. Physicians for example no longer have to track down separate lab results or a critical test result from a different department.
Using VitalHub, says Stewart, "We now have access to exactly what we have in our computers here in the hospital. We can get access to our patients' data whenever and wherever we want it. Knowing what's happening with their drugs, radiology, laboratory values, microbiology results — it really enables me to make decisions on the go."
"Whether using Wi-Fi or 3G on iPhone, doctors can access VitalHub no matter where they are," explains Dwivedi. "They can review a patient chart before they come into the hospital, whether they are at home, in a restaurant, or at an airport."
Convenient Bedside Reference
The iPhone development and configuration tools gave Mount Sinai's IT team everything they needed to visualize, build, and distribute the app, says De Lio. "The iPhone SDK made it easy for us to realize what our front end should be like, so that saved us a lot of time. We went the hybrid approach, with native UI elements living on the phone." Once VitalHub was completed, the iPhone Configuration Tool allowed Mount Sinai IT to distribute the app directly to users' phones.
Combining VitalHub with medical apps available on the App Store makes iPhone an even more powerful on-demand reference tool. "With VitalHub, I can see what drugs a patient is on," Stewart says. "Previously, I'd have to call ICU and speak to the bedside nurse." Once Stewart confirms a patient's prescription drugs, he can use other apps on iPhone to quickly discover whether the drugs might interact inappropriately with each other.
"The whole concept of everything in one device, and being able to move between applications — it's fantastic." And De Lio adds, "The speed and performance of iPhone and the app is a big benefit for patients because all the information is coming to their caregiver a lot faster."
Future Medicine
For Mount Sinai's physicians and the patients they serve, the hospital's decision to integrate iPhone into daily operations has transformed patient care, allowing doctors to make faster, more-informed decisions. "We believe iPhone is going to shift the way we practice medicine," Dwivedi says.
"This is big stuff, more important than anything," Stewart agrees. "iPhone is the future of health care."

You Are Here: Training Trail > Cub Scouting > Cubmaster/Assistant Cubmaster
Prior to running your first den or pack meeting, Cubmaster Fast Start is the initial training course required for you to complete so that you may understand the fundamentals of the Cub Scouting program. There are separate fast start training courses for all Cub Scout leaders, catered to specific leadership roles in the pack. You will learn your specific responsibilities, how to keep your meetings fun and exciting, and what other resources there are to help assist you in planning for your den or pack meetings. This training is offered online only.
"This Is Scouting" provides an overview of the Scouting organization, including history, values, programs, Youth Protection, community involvement, and training. The module consists of six video sections, each followed by a brief quiz. Completion is noted automatically in the BSA training records database if the module is experienced online. This course replaces the former "New Leader Essentials".
Leader position specific training is based on the leader's position. These courses are taught by informed trainers who know how to engage groups and make learning fun. These courses are offered by the district or council as group training in a classroom setting.
Youth Protection training is designed to help you keep our youth safe from abuse. You will learn the Boy Scouts of America's Youth Protection Guidelines, signs of abuse, and how to report suspected abuse. After each section of material, you will answer questions about that section's topic. This course must be completed to earn the "Trained" emblem. This training is offered online or in a classroom setting. Completion is noted automatically in the BSA training records database if the module is experienced online.
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) is a one-day training event that introduces leaders and parents to the skills needed to plan and conduct pack outdoor activities, particularly pack camping. Participants who complete this training course will:
This training is required for any adult who is in charge of planning a pack campout.
The pow wow is an annual get-together of Cub Scout leaders from an entire council or district. A pow wow is a training conference that takes place in a festive atmosphere. The pow wow is a "convention" for pack leaders-the Cubmaster should take all leaders to this learning extravaganza. There are sections on games, crafts, skits and puppets, ceremonies, administration, and the Webelos den. It's a time for parents and all experienced, new, and prospective leaders to share ideas and see what the other packs are doing. All leaders are encouraged to attend this exciting, fun-filled, and informative training session every year. Check with your Pack Trainer, Cubmaster, or District Training Chair to find out when and where your pow wow will be held.
Wood Badge is advanced training in leadership skills for all adults in BSA programs. This advanced training is presented in two parts:
- An advanced learning experience presented over two long (three-day) weekends or as a weeklong course.
- An application phase of several months during which the leaders apply the specific skills they have learned at Wood Badge to their Scouting responsibilities.
Leaders who successfully complete both parts of the training are recognized with the Wood Badge beads, woggle slide, and neckerchief.
For more information, contact your Pack Trainer, Cubmaster, or District Training Chair.

- denim jeans
- sandpaper
- utility knife
- tweezers
- cardboard
1. Rub sandpaper several times over the area you would like to add distressing to.
2. Cut straight horizontal slits into the denim about 1/2" apart to the front side of the denim in areas where you rubbed sandpaper on. (Tip: Add a piece of cardboard inside the pant leg of where you are cutting to prevent cutting through to the backside of the jean). Once you have a layout that you like, throw the denim into the washing machine using cold water. Then, fully dry in the dryer.
3. Once it is out of the dryer, you can make the distressing look a little more natural. Using the tweezers, in areas where you cut slits, pull the indigo fibers, leaving the white horizontal fibers.

Antarctic GlaciologyCONTACTS

17-543 Program Solicitation
Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Snow and ice are pervasive elements of high-latitude environmental systems and have an active role in the global environment. The glaciology program is concerned with the study of the history and dynamics of all naturally occurring forms of snow and ice, including floating ice shelves, glaciers, and continental and marine ice sheets. Program emphases include paleoenvironments from ice cores, ice dynamics, numerical modeling, glacial geology, and remote sensing of ice sheets. Some specific objectives are:
- correlating climatic fluctuations evident in antarctic ice cores with data from arctic and lower-latitude ice cores, and integrating the ice record with the terrestrial and marine record;
- documenting the geographic extent of climatic events noted in paleoclimatic records and the extension of the ice core time series to provide information on astronomical forcing of climate;
- establishing more precise dating methodologies for deep ice cores;
- determining the Cenozoic history of antarctic ice sheets and their interaction with global climate and uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains and the response of the antarctic ice sheets to the Pliocene warming;
- investigating the physics of fast glacier flow with emphasis on processes at glacier beds;
- investigating ice-shelf stability;
- identifying and quantifying the feedback between ice dynamics and climate change.
These topics come together in the multidisciplinary West Antarctic Ice Sheet program (WAIS), a major initiative of the Division of Polar Programs. The program, focused in the Antarctic Glaciology Program and the Antarctic Earth Sciences Program, is designed to advance understanding of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Scientists involved in the WAIS program want to know what triggers marine ice sheet collapse and evaluate the possibility that this could happen in West Antarctica. Predicting the ice sheet's future behavior requires an understanding of its history, current state (including the nature of the bed), internal dynamics, and coupling to the current global climate.
Ice cores from Antarctica are important for determining whether the rapid climate changes recorded in Northern Hemisphere ice cores, such as those obtained from Summit, Greenland, in the Greenland Ice Sheet Project II (GISP2), are global in extent. Plans are underway to drill a deep ice core at a site on the ice divide in West Antarctica, as part of the WAISCORES program, with both thick ice and high annual accumulation. This is the only antarctic site where scientists can obtain an ice core capable of providing a long, annual resolution history of Southern Hemisphere climate in which compressed snow layers are thick enough to allow absolute dating. The WAIS Divide ice core will provide a Southern Hemisphere equivalent to the GISP2, GRIP (the European Greenland Ice Core Project), and North GRIP ice cores and will allow detailed comparison of environmental conditions between the northern and southern hemispheres.
The ice cores to be drilled as part of the WAISCORES program will complement those already under study from Byrd Station and Siple Dome in West Antarctica and Taylor Dome and Vostok Station in East Antarctica. Ice cores are unique in that they contain continuous, or nearly continuous, records of annual precipitation, atmospheric temperature and components of the atmosphere, including gases as well as soluble and insoluble aerosol particles from a variety of sources (biogenic, terrestrial, solar, marine, volcanic, anthropogenic).
Another important activity within the Antarctic Glaciology Program is the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE), a multi-disciplinary, multi-investigator project whose broad aim is to establish how the recent atmospheric environment (climate and atmospheric composition) is represented in the upper layers of the antarctic ice sheet. Primary emphasis is placed on approximately the last 200 years of the record. This time period was chosen because it covers the onset of major anthropogenic release of combustion products to the atmosphere and the end of the Little Ice Age.
Ice cores collected under the Antarctic Glaciology Program are currently stored at the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL). NICL, a government-owned facility for storing, curating, and studying ice cores recovered from the ice-covered regions of the world, is supported through an Interagency Cooperative Agreement with the United States Geological Survey. NICL provides NSF- and USGS-funded principal investigators and their collaborators with the capability to examine and measure ice cores while preserving the integrity of these cores in a protected environment.
Another main area of interest is determining the Cenozoic history of the antarctic ice sheet, including the uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains and its interaction with global climate (e.g., response to the Pliocene warming). Much of the glacial geological research in the Transantarctic Mountains relate to understanding the history of the ice sheet during the Pliocene, as well as more recent fluctuations during the Quaternary.
Ice Coring and Drilling Services (ICDS) at University of Wisconsin, Madison, is supported by the Division of Polar Programs to meet the drilling requirements of all of the Division of Polar Programs programs. ICDS focuses on ice drill development for NSF-supported remote field projects. Investigators who plan to request technical support from ICDS should include with their proposal a cost estimate (budget and justification) for the equipment or drilling support that would be required from ICDS if the project is funded. This information is in addition to the regular budgets included with the proposal. Investigators should contact ICDS if they have questions or need further information for a correct cost estimate. (See the Related Link Section on this page for additional information.) The Research Support Manager in Polar Programs Antarctic Infrastructure and Logistics Section, as well as the program manager to whom you are submitting your proposal, should be notified when an investigator is requesting ICDS support.

The Lady Spartans of Emery High School were 1-1 in their first week of region basketball play. After a narrow three-point loss at Carbon High on Tuesday, the Lady Spartans came back with a strong game to defeat the Delta Rabbits 43-34 on Thursday.
Emery started region play against the Lady Dinos and lost a heartbreaker 52-49.
Emery held the lead after each of the first three quarters but was outscored 23-10 in the fourth quarter to lose by three. Jennifer Nielson led the Emery attack with 16 points. McKell Huntington had 15 points and Natalie Hansen had 11. Morgan Warburton led Carbon with 20 points as she now assumes the role of scorer for the Dinos after her sister, Chelsey, went down for the season with ligament damage.
The Lady Spartans came back two nights later against Delta High and won this game by nine points.
Emery led 27-10 at the half and held on to win despite of being outscored in the fourth quarter 13-6. Jennifer Nielson again was the leading scorer with 19 points. The Spartans are now 6-6 for the season.

36 x 36 in Abstracted Realism Oil
Joni's comments from the 1988 eclection art exhibition catalog and titled A Chair In The Sky: I painted this in a night and a day. Charlie was dying and he was frightened.
Joni's comments from the 1979 StarArt book:
I painted almost constantly for two days to do this portrait of Charles Mingus. I had his features down, so the likeness was there, but there was no real emotion coming off. I just kept pushing the paint around on the board, waiting for the right expression to appear; then suddenly it was there. The emotion is a very complex one in a way. I'm hesitant to say the emotions I think it embodies but if I were in his place I think I know what he would have been feeling at that time in his life and I think I've captured it.

Minimal modifications to the Montrail Mountain Masochist II mean many mountaineering mudders will maintain their madness for this model.
The Mountain Masochist has been a perennial favorite of dedicated trail runners who need some pronation support. Out on the trail, we liked the firm ride and smooth transition of this shoe. The outsole offers outstanding grip on terrain ranging from hard-packed dirt to loose gravel and mud.
The upper is ready, willing and able to cradle your foot for longer outings, with a heel collar and tongue that really locked the foot in place and a breathable mesh that shed heat.
Even with the trail market going lower and lighter, the Mountain Masochist still offers a worthwhile mix of serious trail cred and a little support for overpronation.
I can see why so many trail runners swear by this shoe. Very stable platform, a huggy fit, and that overall solid feel that broadcasts this shoe's willingness to take on anything that comes its way.
The change to the FluidPost is undetectable compared to the original Mountain Masochist. I really like the outsole – it keeps you moving on uphills, keeps you planted on downhills, and doesn't collect rocks or other debris.
The traction on this shoe is impressive. If your run crosses over a variety of trail types, this is the shoe for you.

What's bugging Pimco Emerging Local Bond Fund (PELBX)? The fund's 12.7% drop in 2013 is about more than investors' Federal Reserve "taper" worries. Also consider a 12%+ weighting in assets denominated in the Brazilian real, whose value has been absolutely hammered.
Bloomberg's Veronic Navarro Espinosa lays it out this afternoon, saying the country is "threatening to turn into a sinkhole for the world's biggest bond-fund manager":
While Michael Gomez, Pimco's co-head of emerging-markets portfolio management, said last week that Brazilian debt still offers value, the Newport Beach, California-based firm's investments in the country are faltering as sluggish growth fuels speculation Brazil will have its ratings cut and the 16 percent currency slide fans inflation. Yields on Brazil's notes due 2017, the second-biggest holding in Pimco's local debt fund as of March 31, surged 2.54 percentage points in the past three months to 11.88 percent, twice the jump in emerging markets.

Beautiful, comfortable flat with a magnificent view over plage du sillon
Very nice and cosy little appartment. It's small but has everything one needs, the hosts are very friendly, and the location is both quiet and beautiful. Even the dog loved the stay!
I was total satisfied - everything went smoothly. The house was clean and well equipped. Host was very nice and friendly. Nice view and environment. Great places in the neighborhood - worth to visit.
A Nice small apartment in a very nice neighborhood in Venice, few tourists but still good restaurants and very nice people. The host don't speak english but is still very nice and polite. The only thing we missed at the apartment was a AC system because the apartment gets very hot during the summer.
Nicely located apartment with 2 large bedrooms. Big and clean swimmingpool outside to share with the other in the complex. Never crowded. Clean and practical apartment. There were quite a few mosqitoes in July, som should be good to bring mosqitonet to put on the terrace doors to be able to ventilate during the night. No airconditioner installed but night temp. at about 19 degrees C. so ok. You should rent a car to get around/down to the center and beaches. Beautiful scenery.
Splendid location to visit Tirol.
The accommodation provides all you need to enjoy your holidays.
View from the terrace was absolutely beautiful!
The apartment served our purpose as we used it for smaller dinners and sleeping.
Bigger dinners would require you to buy many spices and such as there was absolutely nothing available. The walk to town (approx.. 1km) was all downhill making the journey back a good work-out :).
Wimdu was great, except the property manager (key-holder) did not speak English so it was difficult understanding about the apartment when we first got there.
An accommodation beneath contempt . Dirty , leaky shower stall , broken lamps and contacts that did not work . Wifi only worked if you sat out in the yard . We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom.
Fee for cleaning, towels and sheets.
To pay for cleaning when the apartment was so dirty known very irritant . Smaller service oriented staff made it known not worthwhile to go and complain. Would never recommend this accommodation !
It was a wonderful week in a beautiful place with extraordinary hosts. The fresh vegetables, the fantastic view and a flat with everything you need, made it a week to remember!
Thank you so much!
Very nice, pieceful and relaxing house.
We really enjoyed the large rooms and terasses outdoor. It is great to have realy furniture inside and outside.

I did not invent the definition of college readiness that the College Board used. I am not "alleging" that only 10 percent of youths have an SAT score that meets that definition, based on the students at 41 major state and private universities. That's an empirical finding. I am not saying that an SAT score lower than 1180 is a cognitive cutoff that prevents people from "succeeding" in college, if success is defined as getting a BA. I do not want to "radically shrink" the population of young people taking courses on college campuses—I think they are fine facilities for providing post-secondary education, and, in my ideal world, almost all high school graduates would get post-secondary education. I think italics are called for: I want students to have better alternatives than spending four years on those college campuses so that they can get a piece of paper called a BA.

Lead Essay
Down with the Four-Year College Degree!
by Charles Murray
In this month's provocative lead essay, the American Enterprise Institute's Charles Murray draws from his new book, Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America's Schools Back to Reality, to argue against America's obsession with the four-year BA degree. Murray argues that the BA "wreaks harm on a majority of young people, is grotesquely inefficient as a source of information for employers, and is implicated in the emergence of a class-riven America." Murray contends that vocational training and a new regime of certification testing would provide a superior alternative to a college degree for many high school grads.
Response Essays
If the BA Is the Work of the Devil, It's Not His Best Work
by Pedro Carneiro
Economist Pedro Carneiro of University College London – an authority on the relationship between education, human capital, and wages – agrees with much of Murray's argument, but questions its relevance. Some people may be making a mistake in pursuing a BA, but it's not a very big mistake, Carneiro says. "For most of those enrolling in college, a BA has a good expected return, but there is some risk," and not notably more risk than with other investments. The real worry, Carneiro argues, is that stagnation in college enrollments "may cause problems for [economic] growth in the years to come."
Murray Needs a Model — How About Mine?
by Bryan Caplan
George Mason University economist Bryan Caplan agrees with Charles Murray's claims that not everyone is suited to college, that four years is too long, and that few career-relevant skills are learned there. But then what explains the wage premium for college grads? Caplan notes that Murray flirts with a "signaling" model but argues he needs to take it more seriously. But then why haven't certification test already caught on, Caplan wonders. Why don't employers already cut out the college middle man and directly hire top high school grads? "An unfortunate implication of the signaling model is that cutting the BA down to size will be a lot harder than Murray thinks. As far as employers are concerned, the BA works."
The Best of American Opportunity
by Kevin Carey
Kevin Carey, research and policy manager for Education Sector, argues that the "mass production of bachelor's degrees" in the 20th century gave the United States one of the world's best-educated labor forces, and all signs point to the stunning success of mass higher education. Carey says that Murray "does not come close" to showing that the "BA is the work of the devil." If an alternative system of certification testing made sense, Carey argues, we would expect to see it already, but we don't because "employers value the bachelor's degree." The flexibility of the American system, which allows students to get a good general education without committing to narrow vocational training, is one of its strengths. And so many drop out of college, Cary maintains, not because they are unprepared or unable to benefit, but because the academic environment and teaching are often discouragingly low. "The bachelor's degree represents the best of American opportunity," Carey writes. "We need to make it better, not tear it down."

Damiki Gladiator Spinnerbaits
5 Colors
More From Damiki Spinnerbaits
Customer Reviews
Comments: Good spinner bug ! I fish a tidal river and this lil guy catches 'em . I pump cypress and willow trees with this thing and get jarring strikes and it stands up to that pretty well. Get a few for your box especially in early spring when the bait is small.
From: Debeaux: Waccamaw River, SC.
Comments: Lure looks nice, however, did not look the same as the picture. Should have some Chartuse, but is all green and brown ( green pumkin ) not Chart Green Pumkin!!!
From: Jeff: Wilmington, DE
Comments: At this time of the year I spend lots of time using spinnerbaits around brushes and timber, obviously I need a very strong one to stand by me all day. Last weekend I had great fishing with this little spinnerbait (3/8 Chartreause). I loved how it perform and specificly the total weight with this small profile helped me cast farther than other spinnerbaits. I had a great experience so I recommend this product por intense fishing through brush and timber!!!
From: Hans: Mexico
Comments: I just got a couple of theese spinnerbaits, and the work really well. I was a lil worried after reading some of the reviews about how they would do, but i didnt have a single problem. The red trailor flikers around in the water and looks really good. I cought 10 fish on this bait the first outing i took it on and i am really impressed. This is a great compact spinnerbait.
From: Cody: GA
Comments: this is a pretty cool spinnerbait but the red strands (which are hand tied to the shaft of the hook) come off very easily .. but overall a great finesse clear water spinnerbait.
From: Nicholas: San Jose, CA
Comments:I just purchased this Damiki Spinnerbait, and out the package it looks like a great spinner bait. I do have to say that it is one of the best looking spinnerbaits out there. BUT like the Lucky Craft spinnerbait, the skirts falls apart after catching a few fish. Another thing is that it tends to lay on it's side if you try to burn it over the weeds. ANOTHER =( thing is that head, it catchs tons of weeds cause of the round design. I have no complaints about the hook quality, very great hook. Over all stick with what you have had better success with!

Amazon's top toy tips for Christmas 2012Pocket-lint
Amazon has held its annual Christmas in July/Wish List event in London, and it's now a Pocket-lint tradition to pick out best (most relevant) of the toys on show in order to get a sneak peek on what might be the biggest sellers come the end of the year.
The first to catch our eye this time around was rather obvious, really. Not only is it jam-packed full of electronics and from a company we cover a lot here on Pocket-lint, V-Tech, it's actually called Gadget: Gadget the Robot.
Costing £39.99, Gadget the Robot has several different modes that a child can interact with, selectable on his stomach. He also has a black and white LCD screen that supports his speech or actions with pictures and words.
His head, arms and torso all move, and you get a selection of tokens that can be slotted into his head in order to play different games - spelling, for example. It's fun, friendly, educational and current, muttering about TV talents shows and the like. We can see it being a hit on Christmas Day... as long as you remember the batteries.
Another of V-Tech's educational launches for 2012 is an update to its InnoTab, children's tablet device. The InnoTab 2 looks very similar to the former model but features a rotating (front and back) camera for capturing still photos and video.
There's a microphone this time too, which can be used by some of the games and applications outside of video recording.
Its LCD touchscreen is the same size - 5-inches - and there's a g-sensor again, for motion gameplay. And it comes in either pink or blue, as last time. It'll cost £84.99 when it's released later this year.
LeapFrog too has updated its "iPad for kids" in the guise of the LeapPad 2. It also sticks with a tried-and-trusted form factor, with the toy manufacturer also opting for enhanced and improved functionality, rather than a complete overhaul.
It has a faster processor, bigger memory and is definitely speedier than its predecessor. The cameras have both gone up a notch in resolution terms over the ones found on the original LeapPad Explorer, and the company claims that battery life is much better than before.
The LeapPad 2 will be available from August for £89.99.
Also improved over a former iteration is the LeapsterGS. The handheld educational games console will cost £64.99 on release and will replace the Leapster Explorer. It's thinner than before, but features a larger touch screen and we have to say that, from our quick play at the Amazon event, it's definitely more vibrant.
Games cartridges will play on both the LeapsterGS and the LeapPad 2 and both can also connect to a PC in order to download more games or apps.
Out now, but you may have to save until Christmas to afford one, is one of our favourite toys of all time the Character Building Wembley Stadium. We first saw this back at the London Toy Fair in February, but that was just a demo concept model. Now we've had a chance to see the real thing, and it's incredibly impressive - even more so than before.
As a bit of background, toy company Character Options has its own Lego-style bricks and minifigure collections, including Doctor Who-licensed sets. And recently it signed a deal with the English Football Association to create Character Building sets out of England and football-themed properties. Wembley Stadium is one of those.
And because Character Building uses a similar form to Lego, it's actually compatible, so you can fill the stands with Harry Potter figures if you like.
We're very keen on this magnificent toy set, and can fully understand why it costs £149.99. It even has a minifigure version of the Bobby Moore statue on the outside. Ace.
The SpyNet Video Watch 2.0 with Night Vision is also already available, but more affordable at £49.99. It allows you to record video and take photos both in daylight and at night, and its full colour 1.4-inch TFT screen doubles as a monitor and normal digital watch.
Although we didn't get to see one of the Moshi Monsters App Monsters in full swing, as the app part is not yet available, we can't have a Christmas toy round up without featuring the latest addition to the British sensation.
App Monsters are a series of different plush Moshi Monsters, but with a difference. You can slot a smartphone or iPod touch into a pouch on the front of each toy's noggin and the application will replace the soft and cuddly face with an animated one.
The owner will then be able to interact with the Moshi Monster, poking it in the eye and stuff. We're not sure from when exactly the App Monsters will be available, or how much they'll cost, but it's yet another cunning way to combine the brand with modern consumer electronics in a way we approve of wholeheartedly.
Finally, we couldn't ignore the cuddly plush toy versions of Henry and Hetty (£7.99 each), the smiley-faced vacuum cleaners. There truly is nothing better than encouraging your children to love household appliances when they're young. Think of all the housework you'll be able to pass on when they grow up.
It's a long game, but think of the benefits if you get it right...

1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder (sandy, not the fine powder) (or 5 cloves of fresh garlic, minced or crushed)
I'm curious though, is there any particular reason you shouldn't cook pizza sauce? It seems like it's a good way to make sure enough of the seasoning flavor goes into the sauce.
holy pizza pie! 5 cloves of fresh garlic!?
Wow, I'm always taken aback at just how helpful everyone is on this forum, so again, thanks to all of you! One more quick question, if I want a sauce with a little bit of a kick to it, some heat, what would be the best ingredients to add? (as you can see, I'm not just a noob pizza maker, but a noob cook in general!)
There is nothing wrong with cooking tomatoes, just do not let them get too hot (stay below 200 degrees). I like to add paprika, Aleppo pepper or regular chili flakes for my cooked sauce for kick.
