Junior point guard Bailey Faimalo led his Emery Spartan basketball team to a fourth place finish at the just completed 2-A Utah State basketball tournament in Cedar City. Faimalo, at the completion of the games, was named to the All-Tournament team for Emery.
Faimalo averaged 13 points per game in the three-day affair, shot the ball well, dished out numerous assists and even pulled down a good number of rebounds.
Emery's first game on Thursday was against Waterford, an upset winner the week before against Enterprise. Emery was extra cautious to not let an upset occur two games in a row and the Spartans prevailed against Waterford 51-33. On Friday, Emery played Gunnison in the semi-finals with the Bulldogs winning on literally a last second shot as time expired that prevented the game from going into overtime. Final score was 49-46. On Saturday, Emery played the two-time defending state champions South Sevier and Emery gave the Rams a run for their money before finally losing the game 68-62.
Against Waterford, Emery went quickly into the lead in the game as they took a first quarter lead at 18-13. Dawson Jensen scored six points in the quarter to pace the Spartans. Emery's defense cracked down in the second quarter and held the Ravens to three-point quarter. Emery scored another 13 points in the period and now led at the half 31-16.
Emery outscored Waterford 9-8 in the third quarter and then 11-9 in the final period to get to the 18-point victory.
Faimalo led the team with 13 points while Emery's centers Dawson Jensen and Corbin Barnett each scored 8 points in the game. Jensen got into early foul trouble and Barnett did a good job in the middle and played maybe his best game of the season. Also scoring in the game were Brendon Jorgensen with 7 points, Spencer Labrum and Dillon Wilstead with 5 points, David Dyer with 3 points and Tyson Roper with 2 points.
Against Gunnison, this was a game that was nip and tuck throughout. Emery had a point lead after the first quarter at 10-9 with Faimalo and Wilstead each scoring 5 points each in the quarter. Both teams then scored 10 points in the second quarter and Emery maintained their one point advantage. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied at 30-30 as again the two teams evenly battled. Jensen had five points in this period.
In the final quarter, Emery tied the score with less than a minute to go at 46-46, and then after a timeout, went to a man defense. Gunnison got the ball inbounds and then Gunnison's leading scorer for the game took a shot from about 25 feet away and the ball went in as the buzzer sounded and just like that Emery had the loss. It was a good game.
Wilstead led the team in scoring with 15 points with Faimalo the only other Spartan in double figures with 10 points. Jensen scored 9 points, Labrum scored 5 points, Barnett 4 points, Dyer 2 points and Jorgensen 1 point. Jorgensen led the team with 7 rebounds.
South Sevier lost in the other semi-final game to Wasatch Academy, a private school from Mt. Pleasant. Wasatch Academy is a team made up mostly of foreign players.
On Saturday, South Sevier took a first quarter lead at 16-8 and then extended that lead to 33-21 at the half. Emery roared back in the third quarter and trailed 45-43 at the end of the period. Faimalo scored 6 points in the period and Jensen and Wilstead added 5 points each. South Sevier then outscored Emery 23-19 in the final quarter to seal the win.
Faimalo scored 17 points in the game with Jensen adding 15 points. Jorgensen scored 9 points, Wilstead scored 8 points, Dyer hit a pair of three's in the second quarter for 6 points, Curtis Mason scored 3 points and Barnett and Labrum had 2 points each.
Emery had a good playoff run and thrilled the fans that traveled with them, they picked a good time to play consistent ball.

VIRGIN BLUE THE OFFICIAL AIRLINE FOR THE V.i.PEAS
Tuesday 29 September 2009: Internationally acclaimed quartet, will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo and apl.de.ap, collectively known as The Black Eyed Peas, arrived discreetly into Sydney airport last night where they attended a private 'Welcome to Country' ceremony performed by noted Indigenous elder Aunty Sylvia Scott.
The traditional Aboriginal ceremony, which took place after hours in the Virgin Blue Lounge and also welcomed the 'NOMAD Two Worlds' collaborative art project, has been an Indigenous protocol for thousands of years. It marked the official launch of The Black Eyed Peas Australian tour and was in stark contrast to the frenzied fanfare that usually greets the band where ever they go in the world.
The three-time Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum recording group are touring Australia on the back of their fifth studio album, "The E.N.D." Virgin Blue is official airline for Australian leg of The Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D. World Tour.
The significance of the 'Welcome to Country' ceremony for The Black Eyed Peas was two-fold. First and foremost as a mark of respect for Indigenous Australians but also to show their support for the reconciliation movement; a topic which is the inspiration behind the 'NOMAD Two Worlds' project. - which is proudly supported by The Black Eyed Peas, Virgin Blue and V Australia.
Coinciding with The Black Eyed Peas tour, the 'NOMAD Two Worlds' preview exhibition, proudly presented by V Australia, opens in Melbourne on 8 October.
'NOMAD Two Worlds' features sweeping, multimedia art conceived by acclaimed fashion photographer, Russell James, and inspired and co-created by Indigenous Australian artists, highlighting the work of Clifton Bieundurry.
Its art, music and three short films explore the clash of ancient civilizations with the modern world in three phases: Innocence, Inhibition and Discovery. The project involved years of groundwork, including travel to remote regions of North Western Australia and escort by senior Indigenous custodians of the land into sites of great cultural significance to the aboriginal people. James' photographs, featuring these "landscape" pictures as well as "character" pictures that feature Heidi Klum, Estella Warren, Rachel Roberts, The Black Eyed Peas and more, are overlayed with traditional Aboriginal 'story'.
NOMAD Two Worlds has been called a stunning example of reconciliation and true cultural collaboration in action.
Will.i.am, the front man of The Black Eyed Peas, has also collaborated on `NOMAD Two Worlds' by helping NOMAD produce a music film for the project entitled "Apology (It's Time)" featuring Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's apology speech and celebrities such as Hugh Jackman.
"We have massive respect for Indigenous music and art and through our involvement with the Nomad project we have learned a lot about Australian Indigenous art and culture and that's why we wanted to pay our respect," said will.i.am.
Virgin Blue Group General Manager Public Affairs, Heather Jeffery, said, "We're really proud to be associated with both the Black Eyed Peas Tours and NOMADS Two Worlds and we were honoured to have Aunty Sylvia Scott extend a traditional 'Welcome to Country' within our terminal.
"Over the next few weeks while the group is touring and NOMAD welcomes many visitors, many Australians will have the opportunity to experience not only great music and amazing contemporary art but also the important underlying message of respect for indigenous Australians."
Further details on 'NOMAD Two Worlds' Exhibition can be found on http://NomadTwoWorlds.com.
Further information on the Black Eyed Peas can be found on www.blackeyedpeas.com.
The Black Eyed Peas made history with the longest successive stay at the top of the USA Billboard Hot 100 chart with 25 consecutive weeks at number 1. "I Gotta Feeling" has held the top spot for the past thirteen weeks after replacing their first single "Boom Boom Pow" which then spent 12 weeks at number 1. This is the longest consecutive stay for any artist in the Billboard chart's 51-year history.

My husband will be going away for eight weeks in the near future. I am wondering how I can ease the stress of this separation on my 20-month-old son.

USDA Removes Two New York Townships from Regulation for Golden Nematode
By itself, it would have been great news when USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recently announced the absence of golden nematode in the townships of Elba and Byron in Genesee County, New York, and removed these areas from regulation. APHIS and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets have been working together since 1944 on an aggressive survey, quarantine, and control program to combat one of the world's most damaging potato pests from the State. The success in these townships demonstrates the effectiveness and importance of these continuing cooperative efforts. Read more »

CITY:Mount Morris
Black Hawk Statue at Lowden State Park
At Eagle's Nest Bluff in Lowden State Park, proudly stands a 48-foot statue of a Native American quietly revering the beauty of the River Rock Valley below. Commonly called Black Hawk, after the legendary Chieftain, the statue was created as a tribute to all the Native Americans who once called the area their home.
Castle Rock State Park is located three miles south of Oregon on Highway 2. The 2,000-acre park includes rock formations, ravines, and unique northern plant associations. In one valley, 27 different types of ferns have been identified. A sandstone bluff, adjacent to the river, has given the park its name. Picnic area amenities include tables, shelters, grills, toilets, drinking water and playground equipment. Six miles of marked hiking trails have been developed, and a public boat ramp/parking facility is located across from the park's main entrance.
One of the most picturesque sites along the Rock River is just north of Oregon in Ogle County. The bluffs are graced with a majestic image of an American Indian gazing over the Rock River Valley. This is no ordinary statue. It is a 50 foot, concrete-reinforced wonder that is awe-inspiring. A tribute to all Native Americans, but more commonly associated with Chief Black Hawk, the statue was designed by sculptor Lorado Taft. You can enjoy many wonderful views of the Rock River from the park, but the best view of the statue is from IL Rt. 2.

Access to the main channel is easy if you want to cruise the river. Only five miles up the river is Lower Sabula Lake which offers a great new sand beach. There is a public boat launch only a quarter mile from the house and a dock is provided to moor your boat at the house. If you do not have a boat, you can fish off the dock or the bank.

CITY:Rock Falls
Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.
Blue Goose Run is the perfect farm setting for an outdoor wedding, family or class reunion, corporate or business meetings, and baby or bridal showers. Visit the Machine Shed Gift Shop and Corn Crib Restaurant.

Established in 1915, Timber Creek is not the 'run of the mill' golf course. With gentle rolling fairways, it was designed to give the golfer ample room off the tee while giving the player a challenge of a lie that may be slightly uphill or downhill. The closer you get to our bent grass greens, you will find sand traps placed by the architect in places that add to the overall character of the course. With new sand, you will find it as accommodating as one could. Our greens at Timber Creek were designed for game improvement and the scratch golfer alike.

About Our Organization
For more than 65 years, Paralyzed Veterans of America has been on a mission to change lives and build brighter futures for our seriously injured heroesto empower these brave men and women with what they need to achieve the things they fought for: freedom and independence. The organization was founded by a band of service members who came home from World War II with a spinal cord injury. They returned to a grateful nation, but also to a world with few solutions to the challenges they faced. They made a decision not just to live, but to live with dignity as contributors to society. They created Paralyzed Veterans of America, an organization dedicated to veterans service, medical research and civil rights for people with disabilities. Today, the work continues to create an America where all veterans and people with disabilities, and their families, have everything they need to live full and productive lives. Paralyzed Veterans national officers and our 34 chapters represent thousands of veterans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Team PVA is a multi-sport team consisting of able-bodied and disabled athletes competing in multi-sports races around the country, all while raising funds and awareness for the Paralyzed Veterans of America Sports Program.

Plan B: Alex Tanguay?
Jonathan Willis
July 13 2009 06:00PM
The frantic pace of the first two days of free agency has slowed down to a trickle. With so few free agents still available, the folks who cover hockey rumours have focused in on the remaining stars, and among forwards there isn't a bigger name on the market than Alex Tanguay.
David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period reports that the Phoenix Coyotes have had multiple conversations with Tanguay's agent, and adds the following:
The Ottawa Senators, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, New York Islanders and Florida Panthers have also reportedly contacted Tanguay's agent.
Tanguay is a responsible two-way player who has hovered near the point-per-game mark for the majority of his career, but he has two weaknesses which make him less than ideal for the Oilers:
- a) he isn't overly big or consistently physical
- b) he's more of a playmaker than a goal-scorer
It's too bad really, since for the right price Tanguay is an excellent player. Year after year, he and his linemates score more than the opposition. In Calgary two years ago, he was derided for his lack of offensive production although that certainly wasn't the case at even-strength; he just wasn't putting up powerplay numbers.
Regardless, despite the fact that I like this player he isn't a fit in Edmonton – and not just for the two reasons listed above. The fact of the matter is that Edmonton doesn't have the cap space to absorb Tanguay's contract without sending away someone like Dustin Penner, or a combination of Steve Staios and Robert Nilsson. I imagine that Steve Tambellini was kicking the tires (as he should) and hoping for a bargain, but it's difficult to picture a scenario where he brings Tanguay in as the solution to the Oilers' top-line woes, unless he can find someone to take on a contract without taking money in return.

I can just see it now. Horc wins the Faceoff and the puck makes it back to Visnovsky. Vis moves the puck up ice to Tanguay who quickly dishes it off to Hemsky, who is catching the defenders sleeping. Hemsky heads to the net and makes a beautiful cross crease pass to Tanguay who immediately passes it to Horcoff waiting in the slot. The Goalie has lost his balance and the net is practicaly empty. All Horc has to do is hit the net and it's a sure goal. If only he could. If only he could.
BWAHAHAHAH Horc misses the net by a country kilometer again!!! Good thing The Oilers put so much time and money into this never was!!!!
Same team same old dance sorry to say

In the first place, you should give your head a slap for even bothering to reference . . . The Snuffleupagus let it slip that there's going to be a four-way swap between Ottawa, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Vancouver. Watch for it. In the second place, rumours of Phaneuf for Heater have been at the top of everyone's pile ever since Dany asked for a trade, and only picked up speed after the Flamers picked up JayBo. I really thought it would happen, at first, but now I think if it were going to happen it would have happened already.
Yeah, I figured I'd have that one coming. "Mental note: Eklund = bad."
Funny thing is that I got to his site by checking over Tencer's Tweets. Considering how dubious his rumors are, it always amazes me how he has the ears of the (supposedly) credible MSM guys.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Very Old Don't Always Have Healthy Habits
Aug. 3, 2011 -- Forget the stereotype pairing up longevity with clean living.
Men and women who live to age 95 and beyond, it seems, are overall no better than the general population when it comes to health habits such as watching their weight, eating well, and exercising, according to a new study.
"They are just as bad as the rest of us," says researcher Nir Barzilai, MD, director of the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, New York.
Apparently, you can eat fried foods and ice cream, drink, smoke, and skip the gym and still plan your 100th birthday party. But probably only if you have the right genes, he says.
If you have longevity programmed in, Barzilai says, those genes seem to buffer you from bad habits. The bad news? "You can only know [if you have those genes] when you are there." By ''there," he means your 100th birthday or so.
The study findings are no reason to abandon healthy habits, he warns.
His study is published online in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Longevity and Health Habits: A Closer Look
For the study, Barzilai and his colleagues interviewed 477 Ashkenazi Jews, all living independently. This group is more genetically uniform than many other populations, so they are ideal to study. The age range was 95 to 109, with 97 or 98 the average.
Nearly three-fourths of the group were women.
The men and women described their habits at age 70. That is because it is more likely to represent the lifestyle they followed most of their adult life, Barzilai says.
Barzilai compared their health habits to those of 3,164 people born around the same time. The comparison group provided information to a large database, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, between 1971 and 1974.
Although the longer-lived men and women were better at some health habits than the comparison group, overall they were not much better.
Among the findings:
- The very old were as likely as the others to be overweight or obese. Although 47.8% of the men with longevity were overweight or obese, 55% of the comparison group was. While 43.8% of the long-living women were overweight or obese, 41.2% of the comparison group was.
- Among women, 9.6% of the very old were obese at some point during their lifetimes, compared to 16.2% in the comparison group. Among men, 4.5% of those with longevity compared to 12.1% of the comparison group were obese at some point.
- Only 43% of long-lived men got regular exercise, but 57.2% of the comparison group did. Although 47% of long-lived women exercised, 44.1% of the comparison group did.
- Daily alcohol consumption between the groups was similar.
- About equal percents said they tried low-calorie diets. About one-fifth of the men and 27% of the women reported doing so.
- Smoking (more than 100 cigarettes) was reported by nearly 30% of the long-lived women but 26.2% of the comparison women. Among men, nearly 60% of long-lived men smoked; nearly 75% of the comparison men did.

Researchers in St. Louis are taking diabetes education to gathering places such as churches and coffee shops, hoping to help people with diabetes to control it.
Nearly 1 in 5 people over the age of 55 in St. Louis have type 2 diabetes. Researchers have found that nearly half of these 75,000 or so people have never taken a class on how to manage diabetes.
Our diabetes education group has been looking at opportunities to help people with diabetes in Rochester, Minn. We have group classes but numbers have been dwindling. There are several barriers that may prevent people from attending classes often held at a clinic or hospital. For some, finances are a barrier due to lack of health insurance or limited coverage; many lack family support and encouragement. The time of day may be a barrier. We live in a multicultural society and language is definitely another barrier.
Many studies show that when you're taught how to manage diabetes, you can reduce your risk of death, stroke, heart failure and other long-term complications.
What would those of you with diabetes (type 1 or 2 or other) like to see offered in your community for diabetes education?

Bert, great going!
A while back I was going to write you for help. The doctor had told my wife that she had to wear a medical ID bracelet and she told him "no way, jose". I had such a hard time getting her to wear a medical ID bracelet for years (she has diabetes2). I tried so many different ways. I kept telling her that it is for her own safety as the doctor has told her many times. And a lot of other ways as well.
Finally, I found a medical ID bracelet designed as a beautiful piece of fashion jewelry and I bought it as a surprise to her. This was the first time that she didn't say no to wearing it. The funny thing is is that this bracelet is interchangeable and she went on the website where I purchased it from and bought 4 more bracelets to change off with. This was fine with me as long as she would wear them, which she does!
I just want to tell everyone how delighted I am that there was some one out there who took the time to address this issue. Now my wife is not only willing to wear her ID bracelet but really likes to wear it.
I just thought I'd pass this on to your audience. The website for these bracelets is http://www.medicalIdFashions.com. I am hoping this will help others who have been having the same problems with their own family member. Hope this product helps some one else as it did for me.
I love the idea of low cost, continuing education for diabetics. My husband and I are both Type I, in Indianapolis, IN. We would both attend something like this.
We have been searching to no avail for a running club in Indy for Type 1's...to exercise with, or train for a race or marathon. I think a grass roots exercise group for diabetics would be awesome. Something with professional medical sponsorship where diabetics can consistently exercise together while learning from professionals and each other.
I am trying to pursue the help of our diabetologist (who is also a diabetic) and educators on how to get something like this operating.
If the Mayo Clinic ever does something like this in Indy, I would love to be part of it.
Jill and others: Thanks for your input! We will be looking at your suggestions to improve our group class offerings. What time of the day do you feel you would most likely attend a group class?
This is great! Syracuse University is also doing research on diabetes that could further our knowlege on better controlling type 2 diabetes!
-If you have Type 2 Diabetes, visit http://diabetes.syr.edu to complete our survey. (Non-profit research through Syracuse University.) Your responses can help us improve care for patients with diabetes. In completing this survey, you have a chance to win $100 to Amazon.com, so deinately look into it!
There is a huge need for low cost, readily available continuing diabetes education in Rochester. Both of my parents have Type 2 diabetes. My dad injects himself daily with insulin and my mom is on oral meds. They are in their late 70's and early 80's. A monthly stop-by program somewhere in the community would be wonderful as they need constant reinforcement on how to handle their diabetes--especially on adjusting insulin doses, avoiding low blood sugars, and diet reinforcement reminders. Meeting others with diabetes would be helpful for them. It is not convenient for them to come downtown to the Mayo campus as parking is always a cost issue for them. Perhaps outreach programs at NE and NW Clinics would be helpful for questions to answers and reinforcement of teaching. There really is a need to have readily accessible ongoing diabetes counseling in Rochester!
I was recently diagnosed with diabetes in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My doctor sent me to free education classes that are run by our community health centres across the city. They were jeld over 3 times for 2.5 hours each night and were ran by a nurse and dietician.
I found these sessions very informative. If you want the e-mail of the nurse educator, I can send it to you.
I am the volunteer leader/facilitator for a 50 member diabetes support group at the local senior center. Most of the members are Type 2's who are taking oral meds, a few take insulin, and one is using byetta. We meet once a month and have guest speakers from the local medical community who talk about various aspects of diabetes management such as, meal planning and healthy portioned controlled eating, taking medications, testing blood sugar, being active and exercising, and seeing your medical care team regularly for check ups.
We have an A1C less than 7.0% Club and those who get an A1C test result of less than 7.0% get a Certificate recognizing there acheivement in good diabetes management. So far 9 members have gotten Certificates and there are several others who are at 7.0% trying to get to 6.9%
I firmly believe that diabetes support groups, "People with Diabetes HELPING People with Diabetes" are the most effective way to get diabetes education to the seniors who need it to produce meaningful results. The cost of the program at our Senior Center is FREE and we have the best speakers and educators available to talk to our members.
Have free diagnostic tests at malls or pharmacies like the blood pressure tests that are available since there are so many people who are not even aware they have diabetes.
i would like to see more free diabetic classes offered my husband and i both work hard and have to watch every dollar. So some free education would be nice.

This evening our local volunteer fire department, West Pulaski Fire Department, is holding its annual catfish dinner to raise money. We always go. We feel it is important to support them, as well feel fortunate to have them available. We live just (less than 3 miles by the road, even closer as the crow flies) outside the city limits. The money raised helps them buy new equipment or replace worn out equipment/gear. Last year the money raised was used for thermal cameras. This year they are going to use the money raised for protective gear. (photos credit)
A volunteer fire department (VFD) is an organization of men and women who have joined forces to perform fire suppression and other related emergency services for a local jurisdiction. According to the National Volunteer Fire Council, "There are just over a million active firefighters in the US, of which just over three-fourths are volunteer firefighters. Nearly half the volunteers serve in communities with less than 2,500 population."
The term "volunteer" refers to a group of part-time or on-call firefighters who have other occupations when not engaged in occasional firefighting or response to other emergencies. Although they may have "volunteered" to become members, and to respond to the call for help, they are compensated as employees during the time they are responding to or attending an emergency scene, and possibly even for training drills. An on-call firefighter would probably be expected to volunteer time for other non-emergency duties as well (training, fundraising, equipment maintenance, etc).
As last year, we'll be there this evening to support our local "volunteer" firefighters. They serve very good catfish (photo).

Great Investment
"I did not purchase these boots online, so they were $110. I have to say, though, that this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I am normally a size 8, but I had to go down to a 7.5. They are a bit snug when first put on (with thin socks), but then they easily stretch out while they are being worn. I can wear them to work for 6+ hour shifts days in a row and not have sore feet at the and of the day, which I was happily surprised to discover. I don't think that there has been a day where I have not worn them since I bought them."

Beautiful, but narrow calves
"I decided to splurge a little on these boots because they looked so beautiful. When I got them in person, I was not disappointed. The leather is supple and obviously high quality. However, I tried them on without jeans and the calf was very tight. There was no way I'd be able to fit a pair of jeans into them. Too bad, because they were worth the money in looks! I'd say I have average size calves--not too wide, not thin."

FGD: Crucial Stretch
Pat Steinberg
February 06 2012 11:14AM
If I'm being honest with myself, I don't really see the Calgary Flames falling out of the playoff hunt between now and the NHL's trade deadline at the end of the month. Even with upcoming games against the likes of the Sharks and Canucks, I still see Calgary remaining within striking distance of eighth in the Western Conference. That said, they start a three game road trip tonight in Anaheim that could prove to be very important (8 pm, Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960).
Calgary didn't get a ton of help over the weekend out of town despite taking care of their own business Friday with a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, and Phoenix all earned at least one point with the Wild moving four points ahead of the Flames for the final conference playoff spot. The Flames likely aren't going anywhere, but they're running out of time to deal themselves a better hand.
The Lineup
Friday's 3-1 win over Chicago saw the Flames lead by their top players, with Miikka Kiprusoff doing the job in net and the top offensive players carrying the weight up front. Calgary's powerplay is clicking right now, scoring six times in their last eight games and doing the job it needs to do while generating offence continues to be a struggle at even strength. With Brent Sutter riding the likes of Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay, Mike Cammalleri, Olli Jokinen, and Mark Giordano on the man advantage, there's nothing saying the solid production won't continue.
Alex Tanguay-Olli Jokinen-Jarome Iginla
Mike Cammalleri-Blair Jones-Krys Kolanos
Blake Comeau-Mikael Backlund-Lance Bouma
Tom Kostopoulos-Matt Stajan-Tim Jackman
Jay Bouwmeester-Chris Butler
Mark Giordano-Scott Hannan
T.J. Brodie-Cory Sarich
Not a bad outing for Krys Kolanos in his first NHL game in almost three years, as he seemed to fit in fine and saw some sizeable powerplay time as the game went on. Now, the real challenge becomes how the Calgary product responds as he gets more and more consistent playing time.
Miikka Kiprusoff gets the start in net tonight looking to earn his 300th career victory.
The Opponent
Oh what a nightmare first few months of the season the Anaheim Ducks endured after earning a home playoff date in the first round one year ago. Granted, the Ducks were probably a little over their skis at fourth in the Western Conference, but even though they rode some favorable percentages to their seeding last year, they also weren't a 14th place team either. Realistically, Anaheim should be in the Western Conference pack, similar to Calgary or Phoenix, but a horrendous first half makes that a little less of a possibility.
That said, the Ducks are playing their best hockey of the season, coming off a red hot month of January to claim points in 11 of their last 13 games. A 9-2-2 run has Anaheim eight back of Calgary et al, which is closer than they were but still a ways out. Overall, Bruce Boudreau has staked them to a 12-11-4 record since taking over behind the bench to start the month of December.
Bobby Ryan-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry
Niklas Hagman-Saku Koivu-Teemu Selanne
Jason Blake-Nick Bonino-Andrew Cogliano
Matt Beleskey-Rod Pelley-George Parros
Francois Beauchemin-Cam Fowler
Luca Sbisa-Lubomir Visnovsky
Toni Lydman-Sheldon Brookbank
Anaheim isn't a very deep team, especially on the forward ranks, as they tip very top heavy. The top trio had a rough first half of the season but have been moving the play much better of late, and their production is in line with that improved play. Also improved is goaltender Jonas Hiller, who has to be knocking on elite's door for the Ducks to have any shot at sustained success. He'll get the start in net tonight.
Sum It Up
The last time these two teams met, they had combined for a whopping 17 shots on goal in the first two periods of play. Only six of those shots came from Flames players, so clearly deeming it a "low event" evening was a bit of an understatement. It may not be conservative to that extreme in this meeting, but the way Calgary has played lately likely means we're going to see a low scoring affair as the Flames try to win at the Honda Center, something they just do not do.
February 06 2012, 11:20AM
That's quite the third leg on Stretch. Mrs. Armstrong must regret that marriage.
If the Flames are serious about a playoff hunt, they really need to add another quality center. I wouldn't overpay at the trade deadline, but some of Feasters attempted moves in the off season suggest he might.
The three guys playing behind Jokinen have six goals between them; Jones (1 goal), Backlund (4 goals) and Stajan (1 goal).
I'm a bit surprised Jones is playing on the second line. Perhaps the goal is to give Backlund some easier minutes and build some confidence?
Regardless, the Flames are playing a guy they got in a trade for a career AHL'er as their second line C. Seriously, there are guys on waivers right now who are better than Mikkelson. If Jones really is up to second line duty then that trade was a steal.

He's not up to 2nd line duty, but the trade was probably in the Flames' favour.
February 06 2012, 03:39PM
Why do we even have a back up? Save some money and sign some guy from a beer league to sit on the bench. Kipper, Kipper, Kipper....
Very tough outing tonight for the Flames. Anaheim has Calgary's number at the Honda {Duck Pond} Center. For some reason the Ducks elevate their play on home ice against the Flames.
IMO it will come down to the 3rd / 4th line centers on either team who will determine success tonight.
I think if Stempniak was healthy the Flames would probably sitting either Stajan or Backlund tonight and Blair Jones would be playing 3rd line minutes and Kolanos would be centering instead.
February 06 2012, 05:45PM
@Franko J
Flames won't be sitting Backlund in favor of Kolanos any time soon. Nor should they.

New Discovery!These were just what I was looking for! My hair is a little darker, so I chose the chocolate to add the super subtle glimmer i wanted and it was perfect! I had my stylist put them in and she only charged me $10! what a steal! All evening long I had ladies looking at me (thinking they were being discreet) and then finally asking about my highlights. I loved telling them about my new discovery! Thanks Folica!

Suprisingly Cute!NOTE: I work on the Merchandising team at Folica.com, but these are my own words and do not represent the opinions of Folica.com.
So one of the other buyers at Folica had samples of this new product, and admittedly I was a bit skeptical of them at first. I mean am I really going to "bling" myself out for a night on the town? We decided to give it a shot and i actually really like them! I have long blonde hair so the gold ones add just a little bit of pop and gives my hair some sparkle without looking gaudy. The only downside is you really can't put these in yourself as they are a little tricky so you definitely have to have someone help you out. I've had them in my hair now a few times and depending on how well they were put in, the bling string will last anywhere from a couple of days or currently I have a blue one in going on 2 weeks! It is so subtle that it doesn't bother me at all walking around with a blue strand in my hair. Overall I highly recommend; they are fun and something a little different to do with your hair...

Skip to comments.Washington Post to be sold to Jeff Bezos
Posted on 08/05/2013 1:40:07 PM PDT by Second Amendment First
The Washington Post Co. has agreed to sell its flagship newspaper to Amazon.com founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos, ending the Graham familys stewardship of one of Americas leading news organizations after four generations.
Bezos, whose entrepreneurship has made him one of the worlds richest men, will pay $250 million in cash for The Post and affiliated publications to the Washington Post Co., which owns the newspaper and other businesses.
Seattle-based Amazon will have no role in the purchase; Bezos himself will buy the news organization and become its sole owner when the sale is completed, probably within 60 days. The Post Co. will change to a new, still-undecided name and continue as a publicly traded company without The Post thereafter.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Because it wasn't liberal enough?
Does this mean we can read WaPo for free on the Amazon.com site now?
That's okay. I give it about three years before he's selling it for 10 cents on the dollar.
From one liberal to another. Much ado about nothing—except Bezos will have cash to pour into it.
"Amid the boisterous fallout over the president of Chick-fil-As comments against gay marriage comes another business leader taking a very different stand on the controversial issue. Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has donated $2.5 million to help pass a same-sex marriage referendum in Washington state. Same-sex marriage was legalized in the state in February, but opponents got enough signatures to put the law in front of voters."
Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss.
Now it will become a real lefty rag.
Expect WaPo CDs to arrive in the mail, every other week.
Q: How is a liberal newspaper like a swimming pool?
A: They are both holes in the ground that you pour money into.
He must need a tax write-off............
Washington Pravda
Wealthy Lefties trying to save failing Liberal Rags appears to be the official meme of the day.
Jeff must be needing an excuse for getting as far away as he can from his old lady in Seattle on a regular basis.
I could not resist. "Dinosaur Media Death Watch"
Oh how the mighty phrases have fallen.
You gotta 'splain that one?
AOL joke?
My first thought was that the Democratic Party purchased it.
But, I realized that there was no reason to waste money on something that already is well inserted up the Obamabutt.
Maybe, I remember getting a sh!tload of AOL CDs but never one from Amazon.
Amazon Post?
I hope so. He only bought it for political influence.
Yes, but only on a Kindle Fire.
And what are the less talented members of the Graham family going to do with their lives now?
There's only room for so many of them in Congress ...
Of course, if anyone has a good idea of what is going to transpire, it would be Bezos.
My guess is that other papers will now trade off this transaction's pricing (until the market can see the actual results in profitability of Bezo's plans for the Post).
Another Sugar Daddy steps up to keep a propaganda ministry afloat.
Or with Amazon Prime. You can get the newspaper delivered via expedited two-day shipping at no additional cost.
TV Advertising surcharge - great way for red states to raise money from liberals.
All super-wealthy people need a media outlet
Either to promote their own interests, tell a story how they want it told, protect themselves from extortion, threaten uncooperative politicians, or to become a member of the establishment and play ball with them.
$250 million is chump-change for Bezos, but he immediately becomes a player in Washington DC. He won't expect to make money with the Compost - probably only hopes to keep losses to a minimum.
What happened to Buffet's stake?
Well, if anyone can keep WAPO's doors open when it isn't earning any money, it's Bezos.
I do this over joining the political contributions circuit in Washington.
Fools and their money.
I shall fire the entire editorial staff and will hire some Freepers to produce the editorials. I will run a "Caption This" contest on the front page and let people submit their captions online. Whoever comes up with the best caption of the day will win a free steak dinner at Sparks Steakhouse.
It will be a fun hobby for me and I'm looking forward to it. I might even get to hang out at Martha's Vineyard with the "beautiful people" every once in a while.
That's the trend, but consider that selling the WaPo for "only" $250M a dozen years ago would have been a steal. My local rag is published by a broke outfit that owns 237 daily newspapers and a bunch of other crap, yet the enterprise value of the whole shooting matching match is less than $4 Million. Literally pocket change for a new owner, but who'd want it?
And in other news, Politico was sold to Karl Marx
I agree. I still maintain that if done properly, a local 'even large' newspaper can survive in the print format. I'm sure not going to bet this amount of money on that premise though.
What was it that Bob Woodward was saying about Obama last year? I think that it was about the sequester, Woodward was critical of Obama and the Obama administration was unhappy. I believe that Woodward even claimed that he had been threatened by a senior Obama administration official.
I guess that Bezos is going to make sure that doesn't happen again and also take over the Obamacare public relations at the same time.
I hope he spends a boatload of money trying to keep it afloat.
It looks like the Graham family were able to keep the profitable companies that were keeping the Post afloat.
Is this from The Onion?
Bezos will include it with Amazon Prime so they can really target the ads.
Can I say this? BFD! From one level of liberal BS to the next, it's beginning to look like the MSM is aspiring to become yet another of Dante's circles . . .
I don't honestly know much about the Post, it's extended holdings and the like. I'd have to think they figured in, especially after the Boston Globe sale.
The paper can't be worth that much on it's own.
That's an interesting take on the value of other papers, now shored up to some extent by this large price-tag.
I still can't believe the Boston Glove isn't a drag in the other direction though.
We'll see. This guy, by paying this price, may bankrupt a lot of people based on his over-evaluation, if it indeed does turn out to be one.
If they would announce an editorial policy more realistic, more pro-American, and more conservative, I would re-subscribe immediately. Liberalism must diminish.
Of course not, the Onion is a serious newspaper compared to the Washington Compost.
But super-wealthy people like the Koch brother need not apply as their not allowed to own any of the flagship media.
Bezos is buying stuff because his stock(like others) is way overpriced. He is playing with "funny money"
Yes, who would want it. I agree.
Sounds reasonable.

Gazza: Tailored by Umbro by Aaron› 25 May 2012
As proud sponsors of the England team, Umbro are keen to celebrate the icons that have made history over the years, the Faces Of England , and they don't get much more iconic than Paul Gascoigne. An inspirational figure on the field, Gazza was the creative spark at the heart of England for many years, and as the current team look for success this summer we thought he'd be the perfect man to inspire England once again.
As you can see here, Gazza looks
great in the current England home shirt , and the pride and passion he still has
for England is clear for everyone to see. We sat down with the great man to
talk about his career and some of the infamous stories that surround him
recently, and we'll be revealing some of these moments over the next week.
Today, ahead of England's first friendly of the summer and the start of their European campaign, we asked Gazza what it meant for him to play for England and to look back at some of his finest moments on the pitch. Gazza turns 45 this weekend, but he's able to take us right back to 1996 here as he reflects on England's terrific victory against Holland, his goal against Scotland and the clear pride he has in his country.
As the current England team head
into the summer, we hope that Gazza's clear passion can help to inspire them
towards success. We're proud to be celebrating one of football's real icons,
Tailored by Umbro.
For more movies of Gazza, head to the Faces of England page.

leather is a little stiff

Nice glittery shoe
"Although I have not worn these yet, I can tell you that I love the way that they feel. I love the shape of the shoe and they are extremely easy to walk in and that comes from a person who does not wear heels very often. The only downside to this shoe is some of the glitter does fall off...but for the sale price I think these are great heels."

I like Shiny Things
"I really like these heels for a couple of reasons. They are pretty comfortable due to the wider platform. The peep toe isn't small so doesn't squeeze my toes together and I like the wider heel instead of your typical stiletto. The sequins seems to be sewn on pretty well, the survived a night out intact. I might just buy these in another color and rock them on New Years!"

Four companies vying for a single casino license in western Massachusetts are negotiating agreements with host communities in time for voter referendums later this year. Meantime many community groups are stepping up with endorsements. One such organization weighed in this week, but with some reservations about the gambling industry.
The NAACP of Greater Springfield announced its support this week for the MGM Resorts plan for a casino in Springfields' South End. It's far from the first organization to do so. Several neighborhood councils and two local unions have previously endorsed MGM. And according to MGM's website, the Springfield Puerto Rican Cultural Center endorsed the company last week. Reverend Talbert Swan, President of the regional NAACP, says while his organization supportS MGM's plan, the group hasn't declared support for casino gambling overall.
"However since the writing is on the wall that a casino will be coming to western Massachusetts, we would prefer to see MGM's plan implemented as opposed to the other plans."
Three other casinos proposed in the region are: Penn National Gaming in Springfield's North End, Hard Rock Casinos in West Springfield, and Mohegan Sun in Palmer. Swan says the NAACP considered all of the proposals, but says MGM has the strongest history in working with people of color. But he says he would rather see other forms of economic development come to the city.
"I don't think that a casino is going to be a saving force for the region, it will provide some level of economic development, but there are other ways we can do that."
Springfield is working to complete agreements with one or both of the companies proposing casinos in the city in time for a city-wide referendum on June 25th. The state gaming commission won't award casino licenses until February 2014.

The Gospel according to Luke 8:1-3
At that time Jesus went on through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.

Around these parts, Thanksgiving is something of a week-long celebration. We'll feast again with friends this Monday, but earlier in the week we hosted another small gathering. The idea was fowl, but definitely no turkey. What did we eat?
Fennel confit with saffron, currants, orange zest, coriander seed. (I make this all the time; it's very popular around these parts! I always look for the tiniest bulbs at the market for the most tender flesh.)
Sauteed chicken livers with torn radicchio and honey vinaigrette
Shredded duck legs with lentils, kale, and duck-fat roast potatoes
Roasted butternut squash with herbs de Provence, fresh bay and smoked paprika
Crispy brussels sprouts with pancetta and pine nuts
A big hunk of Comté from Jura and sourdough bread
There was lots of laughter, record playing, and garland-making. One of the best Thanksgivings I've had in ages. There weren't even any leftovers!
