Canada falls to Montpellier in exhibition matchMONTPELLIER, France (March 28, 2013)– Canada's Fulltime Centre (FTC) team lost all four sets to Montpellier in an exhibition match against the Pro A French league team. The scores were 25-21, 25-19, 25-23, 26-24.
Nicholas Hoag of Sherbrooke, Que., and Allan Meek of Sherwood Park, Alta., led Canada with 13 points while Marc Howatson of Victoria added 12.
"This is the kind of challenge we came here for," said Canada's FTC head coach Vincent Pichette. "We will continue to make the necessary adjustments for our next two matches."
Montpellier finished ninth in the French Pro A League standings this season missing the playoffs by one spot. Canada plays number-two Sete on Friday.
Team Canada arrived here March 17 for a two-week mix of training and matches. They return to their home base in Gatineau on March 31.

Hughes still bullish on future
Mark Hughes emerged from a barrage of questions about his future on Friday to insist he is still the right man to turn things around at QPR.
- Related Content
Hughes' men will try to secure their first Barclays Premier League win of the season at the 12th attempt on Saturday when they welcome Southampton to Loftus Road.
Despite a glut of summer signings - some of them from such glamour clubs as Real Madrid and Inter Milan - Hughes has failed to spark his team in to life.
Saturday's game against Saints has been dubbed "El Sackio" given the current predicament of both managers, and Tony Fernandes' claim on Twitter last week that QPR "must win" the six-pointer against the south-coast club, who are one point above rock-bottom Rangers.
But Hughes insists he retains Fernandes' backing and the Welshman is adamant that he can drag the Londoners away from the foot of the table.
"My future doesn't hinge on this match," Hughes told a press conference.
"People shouldn't under-estimate the changes that have gone on at the club and I have been a big part of that.
"I have had great support from everyone. That doesn't just get swept aside because we are in a difficult situation.
"It is because of that work we have done before that sustains you and allows you time to get through this period.
"The club has moved forward in a massive way since I came in the door through the work I and my staff have done.
"Everyone is pulling together to take this club forward."
Hughes brushed off claims that Fernandes' tweet amounted to an ultimatum.
"I don't think it has been reported in the right context," the Welshman said.
"I don't think he was saying it is a must-win game."
Hughes has put on a bullish front for weeks now at his weekly press conferences despite the fact that he has not been able to bring Rangers fans the win they have been yearning since they were thumped by Swansea on the opening day of the season.
But at today's conference Hughes' was more defiant than ever about his ability to arrest Rangers' alarming slump.
Hughes has been criticised for his apparent failure to instil discipline and concentration among the squad while some of the big-money imports are yet to live up to their billing as top-class players.
The former Blackburn boss admits he did not expect QPR to start the season so badly, but he still thinks he is capable of delivering success.
"No-one anticipated this run would go on as long as this, but we are still in an early part of the season we still have a lot of games to play," Hughes added.
"The only way we change (our bad run) is by winning games and that's our intention at the weekend.
"When you have a bad period the focus comes on you and people will ask questions.
"But I'm very confident I can answer anyone who comes here and questions how I prepare my teams, how we train and the intensity which we work at."
QPR fans have become used to false dawns this season. Their team have promised to deliver wins on countless occasions, but they have not delivered despite some games against meagre opposition.
The table dictates that they will have no better chance of claiming victory than Saturday's game and Hughes is convinced his team will finally end their wait for a win.
"My expectation is that we will get the three points tomorrow and we will start the long road back," Hughes said.
"We have been in this position too many times. We can't keep on saying that we played well and our performances have merited more, because we need to step up to the plate and take maximum points."
Manchester United loanee Fabio is fit to make his return from a two-month hamstring injury lay-off, but Hughes could be without striker Bobby Zamora, who has a hip problem.

Way Too Tight!
"I have never had to purchase a wide calf boot in my life but would definitely need to with this boot. Unfortunately, my size is not available in the wide calf style so I will be exchanging them for a different boot. I really wanted these to work because they appear to be very well made and look fantastic - very classy looking. The only thing I didn't like is that the shaft is much shorter than I like. They also run slightly narrow. If you have skinny calves these boots would make an excellent choice. I probably would have rated them 5 stars if they had fit."

Worth Waiting For
"I'm rather picky, so I spent a lot of time looking for a boot with a narrow calf. I have another pair of boots from Franco Sarto and have worn them out. These boots arrived in perfect condition--all wrapped up with the inserts inside to preserve the shape--Very pleased with them--smooth leather that keeps its shape--took a couple days to break them in--now they fit very nicely--contemplating a brown pair now...gold heel gets noticed and complimented when I wear these."

Great boots!
"First I bought these boots in a ten, my usual size, however the almond shaped toe was too narrow for my square feet. The shaft of the boots was also very tight. I exchanged the ten for the eleven and found that the size up fit my feet perfectly and had just enough room for my calves without being too loose."

Ferron City held their meeting at the City Hall. For the citizen concerns, one citizen reported Jerry Stotler had put in a drip system. She said it works very well. Stotler was recently at the Ferron City Library to give information on how to build your own drip system.
Wade Williams, a representative from City Sanitation Inc. was at the meeting. Williams said he is looking forward to the RFP. CSI provides a high quality service to their customers. They have cameras on their sanitation trucks which allow drivers to see their blind spots. There are also cameras that monitor the driver and the road. Another monitor in the trucks has a GPS that monitors the drivers activities, such as braking quickly. If an event is detected, it is sent to the drive cam headquarters. If there is an accident this information can be used to assist in the investigation. These devices help to make safety a high priority. Williams stated, most accidents happen when drivers get out of the truck. CSI is using more stable trash cans and an arm that has a longer reach to pick up the cans. This minimizes the driver having to get out of the truck, minimizing accidents. The trucks are also equipped with secondary braking systems. It has been several years since the company has had an accident or an injury. The time frame for the RFP is the end of August. Contracts will be awarded on a points system, which would include criteria such as dependability and quality of service. The score sheets will be sent out to each prospective company at a later date.
The city received information for a tournament based on the movie The Hunger Games. Each city will have the opportunity to send two individuals from their city. The contestants compete in paint ball, if a contestant is shot they are out of the game. Each city will decide how the contestants are chosen. The entry fee is $250. The city will put the information in the city newsletter to see if there is any interest. Insurance will be covered by the recreation district.
The Utah Local Government Trust has a safety incentive for the city. The city will have to organize a safety committee, who will meet monthly and report to the city on a regular basis. The council voted to participate in the program.
The city is getting ready to construct a 24 x 24 building at the city cemetery. A garage style building will be cheaper to construct. Councilman Ronny Bloomer contacted Sutherlands about purchasing a building from them during their anniversary sale. The manager told Bloomer she would honor the 20 percent discount that was offered for the sale, until he could present it to the city council. Originally, the building would cost $9,266 with the discount it would cost $7,412.93 saving the city a considerable amount of money.
Bloomer reported a citizen was getting garbage in his fields, this is due to the wind and the dumpsters being full and not dumped in a timely manner. Other employees at the meeting reported similar complaints with the dumpsters not being emptied. Work is also continuing to improve the fairgrounds.
Councilwoman Abby Jensen spoke to Dustin Deto from the fire department. Deto said they are holding off on the city fireworks show for now.
Councilwoman McCall Fuller reported on an earlier incident of a resident having too many animals on their property. Some of the animals have found new homes and the neighbors seem happy with this resolution.
Councilman Trent Jackson thanked Emery County Recreation for the dirt to fill in the ball fields. It greatly improved the quality of the fields.
Mayor Joann Behling said the city will plant approximately 40 trees on Arbor Day. A majority of these trees will be placed in the cemetery and a large spruce tree will be planted in Mayor's Park.
The city has been concentrating on the cemetery improvements lately. The golf course greens have been sanded and reseeded.
DaShai Nelson will run the golf course restaurant this season.
An inventory was done jointly with Nelson and the city.
The carpets have been cleaned and some painting has been done. The city will not run the restaurant this year. The city is considering putting a port-a-potty between holes 16 and 17, but has not heard back from the company yet.
Emery County Economic Development is offering businesses money to improve their store fronts on Main Street and Highway 10. The city council will send a letter to all qualifying businesses to see if there is any interest.
The city will have to adopt a proposed city budget in their May meeting. The final budget will be voted on in the June meeting. The cell phone the city has for animal control is not working very well. They will terminate the contract and reimburse the animal control officer for a portion of his personal cell phone bill.
The city voted to pay the bills and the meeting was adjourned.

General Information contains information for when a right-of-way (ROW) grant is needed, ROW regulations, definition of ROW terms, and appealing ROW decisions.
It is the policy of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to authorize all ROW applications, at the discretion of the authorized officer, in the most efficient and economical manner possible. Depending on the specifics of your proposed activity, uses on the public land can be either casual use or will require a ROW grant. It's a good idea to contact the BLM and discuss your plans before assuming your use is casual. The BLM can then make a judgment on the requirements in your particular case.
When do I need a grant?
As a general rule, you do need a ROW whenever you wish to build a project on the public land. Some examples of land uses which require a ROW grant include: electric transmission lines, communication sites, roads, highways, trails, telephone/fiber optic lines, canals, flumes, pipelines, reservoirs, etc.
Where can I find the ROW regulations?
The vast majority of the ROWs granted are authorized by Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, as amended (FLPMA; 43 U.S.C. 1761-1771) and Section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (MLA; 43 U.S.C. 185).
FLPMA ROWs (43 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2800): As authorized by FLPMA, the BLM will issue ROW grants for electrical power generation, transmission and distribution systems, systems for the transmission and reception of electronic signals and other means of communications, highways, railroads, pipelines (other than oil and gas pipelines), and other facilities or systems which are in the public interest.
MLA ROWs (43 CFR 2880): As authorized by MLA, the BLM will issue ROW grants for oil and natural gas gathering, and distribution pipelines and related facilities (not authorized by appropriate leases), and oil and natural gas transmission pipelines and related facilities.
On April 22, 2005, the BLM published a final rule for ROWs issued under FLMPA and MLA revising regulations pertaining to cost recovery (processing and monitoring fees) policies and procedures for issuing ROW grants, and adjusting cost recovery fees to take into account cost increases since the previous regulations became effective in August 1987.
Below are links to the ROW regulations (43 CFR 2800/2880), most recent Federal Register Notices amending/revising the ROW regulations, and BLM ROW Manuals.
What terms are used in the regulations in this part?
For definitions of ROW terms, see the " Glossary " .
How do I appeal a BLM decision issued under the regulations in this part?
Any party to a case who is adversely affected by a decision of the BLM has the right to appeal that decision. If your ROW application is denied, BLM will provide you with a written decision and explain the reasons for denying the ROW as well as information on how and where to file an appeal, should you so desire. Appeal rights also pertain to other decisions, such as the determination of the processing and monitoring categories.

Hodgson Won't Stick + Poolie Alert!
Cam Davie
September 23 2009 11:49AM
I know I trumpeted the second coming of Linden when the Canucks selected Cody Hodgson last year. However, with a bad back and a crowded Canucks line-up, Cody won't be staying in the big show past the nine-game limit.
Right now, Mike Gillis and the Canucks face a quandry. Do they keep Hodgson with the Canucks for the entire season where he will see limited playing time? Or do they send him back down to Junior?
Realistically, Hodgson will get an extended look with the Canucks. He will get to stay for the maximum nine games before being sent down to Brampton to finish out the season. Ideally, he would be sent to Manitoba, but the minimum age requirements for the AHL dictate that the 19-year-old Hodgson can't join the club this season.
Unfortunately, there's a bit of a crowd at Centre with the Canucks roster, and Hodgson will likely draw the short straw. Which is okay, because he has a sore back and looks a step behind at this point in his development. Give him one more year, and he'll be a sure lock for this team.
For now, he's destined for Brampton and hopefully he will see some time later this season with either the Canucks or the Moose.
Poolies, pay attention!
I have found an excellent resource for any participant of a hockey pool or fantasy league draft.
This is a free site (you just need to register) where you'll find a Top 500 Points Projector, Top 50 goalies, Top 100 goals/assists, Sleepers, Top rookies and Bounce-back players, Injury reports, Strategies and more. It's kept up-to-date, so you poolie phreaks out there will find this site a great on-going resource as you manage your pool throughout the year.
Hockey Pool and Fantasy Draft Leagues are upon us as the season is set to begin. Consider this a PSA for all you poolies out there looking to win some serious money this year.
"I have found an excellent resource for any participant of a hockey pool or fantasy league draft.
I can't believe I haven't heard of this site!! I owe you one Cam.
Is it new?
September 23 2009, 10:58PM
Yes, it's a new site. And such a great resource for watching out for picks.
September 24 2009, 12:21PM
I am glad to see that you haven't allowed the homer in you to cloud your judgement. It is true that Hodgson has looked a bit out of place and based on his play alone, he should be sent back to junior. In addition, guys like Shirokov and Hansen have outplayed him and 'on-the-fence' players like Wellwood have come to camp in better shape. If Manitoba was an option for Cody, he would undoubtedly be going there.
But for the sake of argument, what if it's Hodgson's back that is keeping him from performing at 100%? If you were Gillis or AV, would that impact your decision? Why should a 19 year-old be expected to look anything but out of place in his first season? Remember Stamkos last year? He was terrible until about the 45-game mark. Why shouldn't Cody be given that same opportunity to struggle and grow? I just see no benefit to his development in sending him back to Junior.
It's absolutely a tough call. But one thing is for sure, Canucks fans must be patient with this kid. Don't be disppointed if he's sent back to junior or struggles with the big club this season. Just be thankful that Gillis has brought in enough 3rd line depth that we don't need to pressure a blue-chip prospect into performing at a level that he may not be ready for.
More than meets the eye, Transformer
September 24 2009, 12:30PM
This is such a problem for Gillis. If Hodgson was 20, there would be NO QUESTION about where he should start - Manitoba. But unfortunately, because of the age restrictions in the AHL, Gillis has a tough problem facing him. Yes, absolutely, it COULD be his back causing the problem.
So they COULD put Hodgson on IR to start the season, watch his skating when he's healthy, then he could get in his nine games before having to make a decision. It would basically be like giving Cody another pre-season to try and impress.
I will be, by no means, disappointed if Gillis ships Hodgson back to Brampton. In fact, I think his performance this pre-season has made Canucks fans come back down to earth with their lofty expectations.
September 24 2009, 12:45PM
@ Cam Davie:
I'm not sure if IR is an option. There are some restrictions around why a player can be placed on IR because there are cap implications involved.
By the way, I checked out that poolsleepers site you mentioned. I've never seen so much info for free! I read some of their stuff and took a quick peak at their projections - they seem to know what they're talking about. Thanks for the resource!

Englewood's mayor and members of the police department attended the May 15 ceremonies where the name of Englewood Detective Jeremy Bitner was among the 142 added to the National Fallen Officers Memorial.
"Attending that ceremony was the most rewarding thing I have ever done," Englewood Police Chief John Collins said. "It was very emotional and, at the same time, it was very painful as we shared the emotions of the families of all those fallen officers."
Collins, five police officers and Englewood Mayor Randy Penn attended the ceremony in Washington, D.C.
"The families of the 142 officers whose names were being added to the memorial were seated near the front of the audience and there were probably more than 20,000 police officers in uniform in the stands," Collins said. "There were officers from all over the U.S. as well as a number of foreign countries."
He said the name of each fallen officer was read and a uniformed officer escorted a member of the fallen officer's family who placed a rose on the star at the memorial.
The ceremony included a speech by President Obama.
"The president talked for a few minutes and then left the podium and met with each member of the surviving families," Penn said. "That had to be a special moment for those who had lost loved ones."
Collins agreed.
"That was a class act," he said. "The president took time to shake hands and talk with each member of those families. I believe Jeremy's wife got a hug from the president."
Penn said he felt honored to be able to attend the ceremonies honoring Bitner. Chief Collins also said he felt honored and will try to make sure one or two Englewood officers attend the ceremonies each year to show support for fellow law enforcement officers and agencies who lose members killed in the line of duty.
Bitner was hit and killed by a car while he was making a traffic stop on May 28, 2012. He is the first Englewood officer to have his name placed on the national memorial.
The national memorial was established in 1981. The earliest name on the memorial is of an officer killed in 1791. With the addition of the 142 names on May 15, there are now almost 20,000 names on the memorial.
The May 15 ceremonies are part of almost a week of events honoring fallen officers. There was a candlelight vigil at the memorial on May 13. Collins said there were at least 10,000 uniformed police officers and at least that many others at the vigil who, at a signal, raised their lighted candles. He said it was a memorable sight to see.
There were seminars and sessions where police officers could talk about their feelings about a fellow officer who was killed in the line of duty.
The ceremonies unveiling the names are held May 15, which is National Peace Officers Memorial Day, established in 1962 by President Kennedy.

PRO12 holders the Ospreys will begin their title defence without a host of injured stars when they take on Treviso on Friday.
PRO12 holders the Ospreys begin their title defence against Treviso without a host of internationals at Stadio Comunale di Monigo.
Missing from action will be Ryan Jones (knee), Eli Walker (shoulder), George Stowers (back) and Justin Tipuric (hip) for their season opener.
Half-backs Kahn Fotuali'i and Dan Biggar have been preferred over Rhys Webb and Matthew Morgan in what will be a testing game in Italy.
"Treviso is a tough place to go at any time, but to make the trip on the opening weekend of the season is particularly tough. They are a good team who as we've seen in their two seasons in the PRO12 are a match for anyone, and they've recruited well over the summer so will be confident going into the game," said forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys.
"As always, our focus in training as been on what we can bring to the table, on our preparation, attention to detail, and the need to be clinical. Like every year there's a sense of optimism at the start of the season but it's one that I think this year is a little bit different. We've got over 9,000 season ticket holders signed up and eagerly awaiting the first home game against Ulster next weekend, and we've seen how the community has got behind the cause at events like the kit launch. It's clear there is a real buzz about the place.
"It's going to be a difficult evening. It will be warm and we'll be up against tough opponents desperate to start on a high in front of their own fans. It'll be a test of character for us but we are really looking forward to getting back into it."
Meanwhile, Treviso coach Franco Smith has taken the expected rainy conditions into account in his team selections.
As a result Italy fly-half Kris Burton starts at full-back while Alberto Di Bernardo wears number ten. Tommaso Iannone is at centre and Luke McLean is on the wing, thus giving the hosts more kicking options.
In the absence of regular skipper Antonio Pavanello fellow lock Corniel Van Zyl will lead the side from the second row alongside Francesco Minto.
A new-look back-row sees Simone Favaro make his Treviso debut and joins Alessandro Zanni and Robert Barbieri in the loose trio.
Favaro and prop Alberto De Marchi are the only new players in the starting XV.
The only other new player who could make his debut is New Zealander Dean Budd, who will start from the bench which has a 6/2 split in favour of the forwards.
Form: Benetton Treviso ended last campaign with just one victory since the New Year: 33-32 against Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade on 13 April. Treviso have not beaten a foreign side at Stadio Monigo since they lowered the colours of Biarritz there in the European Cup on 10 December. Defending RaboDirect PRO12 champions, Ospreys, have won in round one in three of the past four seasons, and concluded last season with seven straight wins. Ospreys have never lost to an Italian side but came very close during their 26-all draw with Treviso in the European Cup last November.
The teams:
Treviso: 15 Kristopher Burton, 14 Ludovico Nitoglia, 13 Tommaso Iannone, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Luke McLean, 10 Alberto Di Bernardo, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Robert Barbieri, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Simone Favaro, 5 Corniel Van Zyl (c), 4 Francesco Minto, 3 Ignacio Fernandez-Rouyet, 2 Enrico Ceccato, 1 Alberto De Marchi.
Replacements: 16 Franco Sbaraglini, 17 Michele Rizzo, 18 Lorenzo Cittadini, 19 Dean Budd, 20 Paul Derbyshire, 21 Marco Filippucci, 22 Fabio Semenzato, 23 Brendan Williams.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Hanno Dirksen, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Tom Isaacs, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Sam Lewis, 6 James King, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (capt), 3 Aaron Jarvis, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Ryan Bevington.

UAlbany Biologist Receives $1.43 Million NIH Award for Germline Research to Find Therapies for Cancer and Degenerative Diseases

ALBANY, N.Y. (August 4, 2014) — University at Albany biologist Prashanth Rangan has received a $1.43 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for his research into both preventing and inducing differentiation in stem cells in order to treat cancers and degenerative diseases.
Rangan, who last month was named a 2014 Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences for outstanding work as a young scientist, is exploring how stem cells control their differentiation by using the Drosophila germline stem cells (GSCs) as a model system. Loss of stem cell regulation can result in both degenerative diseases and cancer.
GSCs provide an extensive understanding of the molecular basis of stem cell regulation. Rangan calls them "the ultimate stem cells" because they are both totipotent — having the capacity to form an entire organism — and immortal. Thus, paradigms established in the germline can be extended to other stem cell systems.
"Drosophila is a superior model system to study questions about stem cell self-renewal and differentiation because of the availability of mutants, markers, RNAi technology and targeted expression methods," he said.
Rangan's research at UAlbany will allow him to intervene in the correct cell type and block specific targets to promote or block differentiation. He believes the ability to prevent premature differentiation in degenerative diseases, or to induce differentiation in case of cancer, will have tremendous therapeutic impact.
The current award, which runs through July of 2019, comes from the NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which supports basic research to increase understanding of biological processes and lay foundations for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Rangan conducts much of his research in the advanced facilities of The RNA Institute at UAlbany, which is directed by Dr. Paul Agris. Agris said the research support Rangan is receiving this year is particularly notable.
"Due to economic pressures that have resulted in many fewer dollars for basic research, it is quite difficult today for a young investigator to be awarded a significant NIH grant early in their career," said Agris. "Since joining The RNA Institute and the Department of Biological Sciences at UAlbany in 2012, Dr. Rangan has demonstrated the creativity to attract both a prestigious Pew Scholar award and now a substantial NIH grant."
"This grant allows us to understand the biology of stem cells, which can help with design of therapeutics for regenerative therapy," said Rangan "I am also especially excited about training undergraduate and graduate students working on the project, thereby providing them with a solid foundation for scientific research. The excellent environment and facilities at both the RNA institute and Department of Biological Sciences will help us achieve new insights and push the boundaries."comments powered by Disqus

Bling It On!!
"I was looking for a special shoe to wear during my wedding. I saw this shoe (when my husband scrolled the website, and asked me to look at them) so decided to give it a try, and I'm SOO glad I did! The shoe had just the right amount of "shine" to be stunning with my gown, without upstaging it.The T-Strap slims the foot just a little, and the strap is flattering and gives nice definition to the ankle. They are so comfortable, I kept them on when I changed for the reception, and I'm glad I did. I received so many compliments on them, and people asked where they were purchased! I had them on for seven hours, and could've gone longer!This is now my favorite shoe when my husband and I go out. They look as great with a pant suit, as with a dress. ALL of my shoes have "bling/shine" and these out shine them all!GREAT job DSW!"

Love love LOVE!!!
"These shoes are beautiful! I bought them in gold to wear in a fall wedding then also wore them in Vegas! They are glamorous without being too much. My only complaint is that after wearing them only twice, one of the crystals came loose and was lost. Because I got the gold colored ones, it's hard to notice but it still bothers me it's not there. For heels they are very comfortable and easy to walk in because of the platform. Overall, I would definitely recommend them!"

Photographers document prehistoric rock art in exhibit at Museum Of The San Rafael.
The Museum of the San Rafael is sponsoring The Art in Rock Art, a Utah Arts Council Traveling Exhibition that features 24 photographs by Utah State University professor Craig Law, chronicling Utah's prehistoric rock art. The display will be at the Museum of the San Rafael from Sept. 1-30. These photographs are a small selection of images included in a greater documentary project called the BCS Project run by Law and project director, David Sucec.
Utah is home to numerous world-class prehistoric rock art sites. This artwork provides a critical record of Utah and North America's cultural history; yet, these sites are virtually unprotected. To date, many sites have been seriously compromised by vandalism, others by accelerated aging and weathering. In 1991, the BCS (Barrier Canyon Style rock art) Project was started by Law and Sucec in response to growing alarm over this deterioration. Since incorporation, the BCS Project has sought to document any and all known sites of prehistoric Barrier Canyon rock art in Utah before it is lost. As of 2001, the project has photographed 212 sites. The complete documentation (without specific locations of sites) will be housed in the Special Collections Division of the Marriott Library at the University of Utah as a record and resource for scholars/interested public in the study of the Barrier Canyon style and Utah prehistoric rock art.
> Law, project photographer and Chair of the Art Department at Utah State University, lives in Logan. Law has received numerous awards and honors. His work is in many private and public collections including the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the Utah State Collection. Law is currently represented by Phillips Gallery in Salt Lake City.
> Sucec, project director, is a visual artist, scholar, independent curaÂtor, and teacher who lives in Salt Lake City. In 1991, David was awarded a Utah Humanities Council Research Fellowship to initiate the BCS Project.
The Museum of the San Rafael is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

"Cichon: Done With Winter"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Are you done with winter or should Steve toughen up?
Please enter your comments below.
Me too
I agree! I just said to my husband that I was done with winter. Its time for spring.
Hang in there!
I feel your pain, Steve, and boy, do I feel mine! It was easy to get spoiled by last winter, and I have some health issues that are REALLY making me feel the cold and dampness a lot harder this year than I have in the past! I'm ready to mummify myself in Therma-Care patches! The one thing that keeps me going this time of year is to look out the window at dinner time and notice that, hey, it's still light at 5 o'clock...then 5:15....then 5:30...5:45... An occasional Irish coffee helps, too! (In anticipation of St. Patrick's Day, you understand...)
Hang in there, pt. II
You share my birthday, fellow Virgo! Thought you'd like to read your horoscope for today: VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your stance is stronger if you do not try to defend it. Assume that you have a right to feel the way you do, and go forward with conviction. Let the chips fall where they may.
winter is too short
We haven't had any snow this year. No school closings. Last year's winter was the worst. As Bill Polian would say, if you do not like winter, get out of town. Enjoy winter by getting good clothes (no cotton) and go skiing, skating, snow shoeing or just walking. Stop whining about the weather when you cant control it.
Easy for YOU to say, "too short"
I love you people who just blithely drop the words "get out of town" off your tongue to those of us who don't like winter. I'd gladly get out of town if I had the finances but I've spent all my money on medical bills to try to take care of the health problems that cause me considerable pain when it's cold...and unless I bundle up to the point that I can't move, extra clothing really doesn't help. Getting out to "enjoy" winter activities is about as enjoyable as having a root canal. Hope YOU never have to experience the kind of pain I have, pal. Venting about the weather is one of the things I can still do for fun.
Were you paying attention?
Excuse me, "winter is too short", but some areas HAVE had school closings this year, and quite a bit of snow, thank you. Your heart is almost as cold as the weather.

Strangely enough, it's rare that one finishes a bottle of polish [1]. Maybe it's clumpy, maybe you're just over it. Whatever the reason, you shouldn't just hold onto old polishes forever.
However, some formulas contain toxins like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP — which is why we recommend looking for safer "three-free" lacquers. If nail polishes are not properly disposed of, these dangerous ingredients can seep into the soil and water supply. Mr. Yuk would not be pleased. Whatever you do, don't throw polish into the trash or down the drain. (It is paint, after all.) Your city's hazardous-waste collection is the answer. Search the web to get the scoop on the details of your local center. And since it's Earth Month, be sure to check out what other beauty items can and can't be recycled [2], too.

After their unbeaten run finished in Cape Town, the Brumbies return to Canberra looking to get back to winning ways against the Bulls.
After their unbeaten run finished in Cape Town, the Brumbies return to Canberra looking to get back to winning ways against the Bulls.
Last season's clash between the two sides at Loftus saw the Bulls sneak home 36-34 against the up and coming Brumbies side, but the Australian side are underdogs no more.
Top of the Super Rugby table and Australian conference with four wins out of five, the Brumbies have kicked on from last season's impressive potential, building a squad packed full of young talent that has even been boosted by the return of Wallaby veteran George Smith, offsetting the bitter loss of David Pocock for the season due to injury.
Scrum-half Nic White comes into the starting XV but there is no return for speedster Jesse Mogg. Scott Fardy and debutant Etienne Oosthuizen will form a new-look second row.
The Brumbies came unstuck against the Stormers driving maul last weekend in Cape Town, but Jake White feels his side possess more than enough power upfront to combat a sizeable Bulls pack this weekend, who arrive with the worst scrum success rate in the tournament on 81%.
"We are comfortable enough that our team is big and strong enough against anybody and we know exactly what the Bulls are going to bring to us," said White.
"We played the Bulls at Loftus last year so we know what worked against them and what didn't. At least I know the players know at the back of their minds what's coming."
The Bulls meanwhile will arrive in Canberra after a subdued showing against the Reds in Brisbane, where the efforts to win the match came all too late after JJ Englebrecht was forced into touch going for the corner.
Truth be told, the Bulls would have been lucky to have taken a result away from Suncorp given their performance.
Three wins from five matches so far leave the Pretorians sitting behind the Sharks at the top of the South African conference, but injuries picked up against the Reds will deprive them of Flip Van Der Merwe and Grant Hattingh, with Wilhelm Steenkamp and Jean Cook called up.
Morné Steyn remains a resourceful source of points with 71 so far – second in the championship behind the Chiefs' Gareth Anscombe – and the Bulls need him at his most accurate if they are to avoid a winless tour following losses to the Crusaders and Reds.
All eyes will be on centre Jan Serfontein as the South African U20 star makes his first start in Super Rugby after two outings off the bench. Touted as a future Springbok, Serfontein is one of two changes to the backline along with winger Jürgen Visser, whilst Juandré Kruger starts in the second row.
"He [Jake White] has got a good understanding of the Bulls and mentally, they will be ready for Saturday," said Bulls coach Frans Ludeke.
"When they played here, they suffocated the opposition. They squeezed their opponents into turnovers and in South Africa, they showed what they could do with front-foot ball."
Prediction: Unstuck in Cape Town, expect the Brumbies to get back to winning ways against a physical Bulls side who are at the end of a tiring tour. Brumbies by 7.
Brumbies: 15 Robbie Coleman, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 George Smith, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Etienne Oosthuizen, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Siliva Siliva, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Fotu Auelua, 19 Colby Faingaa, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Andrew Smith, 22 Clyde Rathbone.
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Lionel Mapoe, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Jan Serfontein, 11 Jürgen Visser, 10 Mornè Steyn, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Dewald Potgieter, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Juandrè Kruger, 4 Paul Willemse, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Morne Mellett.
Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Ruan Snyman, 21 Louis Fouche, 22 Francois Venter.
Date: Saturday, March 30
Venue: Canberra Stadium
Kick-off: 19:40 local (08:40 GMT)

Was shocked and stunned to see that there wasn't a thread for Toriko. Just wondering what everyone else thinks of it.
I really like it so far, I haven't read anything else like it and I like how the story has progressed so far. It's been sitting high in the TOC of Jump every week so apparently the japanese are enjoying it as well, so unlike a lot of good series' in Jump we may see this one stick around for a while.

It certainly wasn't a David vs. Goliath, but Harrisburg's win over New Trier was chalked up as one for the little guys.
New Trier, whose enrollment is right at 4,500 and who has consistently been a perennial powerhouse in Class 4A was shut out 10-0 Wednesday afternoon by Harrisburg at Dorris Heights Field.
The win for the Bulldogs (enrollment: 575), improved them to 5-0 on the season and allowed stud right hander Ryne Roper to earn his third straight win on the season, this time in complete game fashion.
Roper's outing was as dominant as the Rawlings Preseason All-American has had in some previous outings.
The senior and current University of Illinois commitment struck out 11 on Wednesday and had seven strikeouts through three full innings, five of which were batters caught looking.
Roper gave up a hit in the first inning before settling in and went on to pitch flawlessly using his fastball, curveball and change up to near perfection. After the first inning hit given up to Grant Klenovich, Roper allowed a hit in the fourth inning to Jake Cloud and a fifth inning hit to Drew La Motte.
Maybe more impressive to Roper's start to the season is the fact he has 23 strikeouts to just one walk.
"All three pitches worked really well today," Roper said afterwards. "Getting ahead of hitters always helps and then on the offensive end, guys getting on base and getting me some runs."
Harrisburg certainly gave Roper plenty of room to breathe as the Bulldogs put up two runs in the second inning, before busting out the bats and exploding for eight runs in the third.
The Bulldogs had a two-out rally in the second thanks in large part to a New Trier error and walk.
Justin Younger led the inning off after being hit by a pitch, which was followed by Brady Mayer reaching base on an error by Matt McCaffery.
Younger was forced out at second, but Brennan Street singled to third after Mayer and Nick Davis followed being hit by a pitch. After Ryan Luce struck out for the second out, Sykes Thompson reached base on an error by starting pitcher Matt Cohen and allowed Noah Vallette (pinch running for Mayer) to score. Roper drew a bases loaded walk to score Street for the second one before Cody Hall ended the inning grounding out to second.
Harrisburg batted around in the third inning where Cooper Thompson led the inning off with a leadoff double down the left field line. Thompson later scored when Mayer ripped a single into left center and Luce followed a Davis walk with an RBI double scoring Vallette.
A wild pitch, coupled with an error with Sykes Thompson up to bat, allowed Davis to score and Thompson was later hit by a pitch. Roper laced a fly ball to deep left field, resulting in a two RBI double, scoring Luce and Sykes Thompson.
Page 2 of 2 - Hall knocked a base hit into center field, scoring Buchanan (pinch running for Roper), followed by a Cooper Thompson walk. The final two runs on the inning came off the bat of Younger, who's base hit scored Hall and Cooper Thompson.
Roper summed up the win against New Trier as a feather in the Bulldogs' cap.
They're always a really good 4A team. They come down here every year with a quality group of players and it's good game to beat them this early in the season. It kind of helps give us a gauge as to where we need to get better at.
Roper and Street each finished 1-for-3 on the day, with Roper putting up three RBIs. Sykes Thompson, Cooper Thompson, Hall, Mayer and Luce all went 1-for-2, while Hall, Mayer and Luce all had RBIs. Younger went 1-for-1 with an RBI.
Harrisburg is slated to play Johnston City today (Thursday) at 4 p.m. at Dorris Heights. Younger is expected to get the start for the Bulldogs. Younger is 1-0 on the year.

Managing Editor
The Board of Commissioners renewed the contract for City Manager Kenny Martin at the meeting Monday night.
The contract is for two years, but Martin said if the commission or the citizens would want him out of the contract, they could do so.
"I appreciate the opportunity you have given me," said Martin. "There's still a lot of improvements to be made."
The resolution was the last item on the agenda, and was approved without any questions.
"That must tell you, you are doing an excellent job," said Mayor Ed Hagerty to Martin.
In other action, the board approved to accept a $25,000 check from Wilson County Schools to help build a sidewalk on Golden Bear Gateway up to Mt. Juliet High School. Right now, students do not have much space to walk to school, and it can be dangerous with the cars going to school as well. The city will pay for a portion, and the developers of Stone Hollow will pay for a portion as well that is inside their neighborhood. Those factors are still to be worked out before second reading. The path is hoped to be completed some time early in the school year.

LIVE BLOG... from the Draft floor
Jason Gregor
June 26 2009 10:51AM
11:00 am MST
It pays to get up early some days.
Because I got my accreditation late I wanted to make sure everything was still good, so I hoofed it to the Bell Centre. I wasn't on the list, which I expected, but once I showed my card I got my mug shot. I now work for the TEAM 1250, not 1260. It's a better keepsake that way.
There are seven rows with 14 seats in the media riser, and with so many media present, I fully expected to be in the overflow seating in section 12;, until I ran into Julie in the NHL PR. We chatted and I found myself in row seven on the media riser. I have a perfect view of the draft floor and it will be much easier to write on a table rather than using my knees as a make shift table. Julie is all class, and she gets another Nation shout out. I'd send the picture, but I'm an idiot and forget the cord to transfer pics from camera to computer. I'll have them when I get home.
It's the calm before the storm right now. It's noon and slowly the media is trickling in. I ran into some people as I was walking here and here's what I got.
- Heatley talk is at a stand still right now. The Sens want a lot, and most teams aren't willing to pony up. Heatley's agent, JP Barry and his CAA branch are taking a beating in the papers right now. Pundits are claiming it was irresponsible of them to leak the story, because it makes it harder to deal him. CAA is adamant they didn't leak the story, and feel it was probably Sens GM Bryan Murray, and then he could make Heatley look like the bad guy. This situation might get even uglier. I think the CAA camp has a legitimate beef. If the Sens don't make a deal before July 1st and pay Heatley the $4 million he is owed then many expect Murray to play hard ball and force Heatley to come to camp.
- Many wondered if Kevin Lowe could have gotten more for the Human Rake if he had played hardball. I'd like to see how it plays out for Murray if he chooses that route. If a deal is going to happen, it sounds like Heatley will have to be open to more teams. I still can't get exactly what Minny was offering, but it didn't include Burns or Koivu. It sounds like Murray's demands are too high right now.
- The Souray trade talk is heating up again. It sounds like the Oilers are willing to move him. Speculation is Souray and the Oilers 10th for LA's 5th pick, and something else. The Oilers really like Evander Kane. They have a history of making moves, so I won't rule it out. It makes sense on many fronts. Kings get veteran D-man and stay in top ten. Souray gets closer to family. Oilers get high prospect and free up some cap space. The key is what the "something else" is.
- The Leafs are trying to get another first round pick. They've been interviewing lots of mid to late first round picks this morning including, Camrose Kodiak, Dylan Olsen. I literally bumped into him walking here and asked him how his morning was. He'd just finished an interview with the Rangers, and earlier this morning had talks with the Islanders and Leafs, and was in a rush to get to an interview with the Blackhawks. It's a pretty stressful day for these young kids. You don't realize it until you see them. It will be a huge relief whenever his name is called.
- Currently the Sharks are the only team without a first rounder. The Islanders have the 26th pick, but look for Doug Wilson to get involved. Word is he wants to get in the first round, and Ryane Clowe is one of the pieces in place.
12:30 p.m. MST
Took a quick lunch break at the Cage Au Sports, the sports bar right in the Bell Centre, and what a meal. That's just another reason why sports fans in Edmonton deserve a new rink. I took a quick outside tour and they have four "action" statues of Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Howie Morenz and Guy Lafleur. They are great, and then there is a line up of plaques down the side wall with other Montreal legends. (Pics will be up when I return...idiot that I am).
Some more rumblings...
The Kings supposedly offered Frolov and the 5th for Heatley. The Sens said no thanks.
And this seems to be the start of the Souray rumours. Let's play a little scenario.
Steve Tambellini finds out that the Kings are willing to move their 5th, so he makes a call. Keep in mind that even though the Human Rake to LA deal didn't happen, that doesn't mean the Kings weren't trying to acquire him and might still be interested in a top two D-man.
This is where the Oilers and Souray come in. Souray's value is at an all-time high right now. It might stay there for a few years, or it could be like the housing market in Edmonton; Piqued and is now on a downslide.
My gut still says it is a long shot, and I still don't buy that the Kings will move the #5 pick, because that goes against everything that Lombardi has done in building a pretty good stable of young talent., but remember the Kings surprised everyone in 2007 when they took Hickey at #4.
It seems pretty obvious that the Kings and Lightning are the teams in the top five that will listen to offers about their pick. The Bolts will considering moving the #2 if Hedman goes to the Islanders, if he doesn't then BOOK it that he will go to Tampa. Colorado and Atlanta have given the impression they are pretty secure at 3 and 4 respectively.
But the best story is that no one seems to know what the Islanders are going to do.
Many think they like Duchene, but won't take him at #1, but rather trade down a spot or two to get him and another pick. The uncertainty of the Islanders could set the ball in motion as far as teams trying to move up in the draft.
And the Vinny talk is still dominating the floor. What if Montreal can acquire him? This place would go nuts.
If Tampa doesn't get Hedman and take Tavares, would that make them more likely to move Vinny? It's almost mind blowing thinking of all the possibilities.
And can anyone tell me how I can disengage the update that goes to my cell phone telling me JOE SMITH is now following you on twitter. I love that people are following me there, but my phone has been ringing all day with these updates. I need to figure out how to stop it...ha
1:30 p.m MST
Right now...Front and centre in the middle of draft floor Brian Burke is on the horn.
He looks relaxed, his gum is getting one hell of a work out, tie undone, pacing back and forth in an area where no one can hear what he is saying. I wish I had one of those big cones that allows you to hear things from 50 feet away..
**Makes check list for next year...cord thingy for computer and camera...Cone thingy to hear things...Get a tech book to know what the hell Firefox and Chrome is...****
2:45 p.m MST
Regarding the Oilers/Thrasher rumour, (Oilers 4th, Cogliano and Gilbert for Lehtonen, Armstrong and #4) I just got a text that says that package is not correct, but they have had talks.
Discussions are happening, because the Oilers feel they need to get #4 to get Kane.
Kane is drawing comparisons to being 90% of what Jarome Iginla is as a player. If that is indeed the case then he'd be a great pick up.
I know this for sure...The Oilers are trying hard to move up. If they don't it won't be the end of the world for them, but they feel this is a great opportunity for them, and it would be the first time ever that the Oilers have moved up in the top ten in any draft.
Fans have already started to show up. The second deck is almost full. A "go Leafs go "chant was quickly booed and replaced by "Lets' go Habs." We are still more than two hours away from the official start but the fans here are just as anxious as NATION readers to get this going.
3:00 p.m MST
Teams are starting to file in. Scott Howson and the Blue Jackets are here...most of the Devils staff, sand big Lou...I just went down the stairs to say congrats to the hall of famer. Good guy. He's pretty humble about his Hall of Fame nomination.
*** Now they are pumpin out some Black Eyed Peas...Gotta get that...or Boom Boom Pow...not sure what title is, but some heifers are dancing in the second deck...I didn't need to see that.***
Still no sighting of anyone from the Oilers, or Thrashers or Kings or Islanders.
But the rumble on the floor is that the Islanders are leaning towards Duchene. That would be quite the start to the draft.
Now the Coyotes, Kings, Bruins, Ducks, and a few members of the Senators are on the floor.
Cam Neely and Brian Burke and a long and laugh-filled convo.
Howson and Ducks GM Bob Murray and Chiarelli from Boston are talking. The Bruins currently have #25, while the Ducks have 15 and Jackets 16. The Bruins have talked about wanting to move up, so maybe something will happen between them.
3:23 p.m. MST
The man of the hour has arrived. Garth Snow is in the HOUSEEEEE...okay so there was no theme music but right now he has everyone guessing what he will do. Most teams are here, except Chicago, Pittsburgh, NYR, Nashville,St. Louis, Calgary and Atlanta the the Oilers. It makes you wonder if the Thrashers and Oilers are still trying to hammer something out.
I just spoke with Rishaug and Dreger from TSN and they confirm that the Thrashers have indeed made it clear they are now open to offers. The Oilers are interested in that pick, but so are the Kings, Leafs and Dallas Stars. It might be a bidding war.
The Senators have lowered their trade demands for Heatley. They were supposed to be looking for a top-six forward, top-four D-man and a pick/prospect, but have relented a bit. Heatley's value seems to be diminishing as the day goes on.
The Canadiens management team has arrived to a huge roar from the crowd.
4:00 p.m. MST
The Oilers arrived about five minutes ago and right away Tambellini and Lowe were swarmed by TSN guys. Lots of laughing but didn't look like they got much out of them.
Had a great conversation with Daryl Evans, colourman on Kings broadcasts and former NHLer. He is certain the Kings will draft a forward, with all their depth on the backend. He fully expects the Kings to make a move via trade or free agency for sure.
Lots of friendly convo going on between media and various team management types, but it seems like the calm before the storm right now. Let's get it on.
4:36 p.m. MST
As of right now the Oilers have nothing definite, but it is still an hour away from the 4th and 5th picks, and even longer until their own pick.
Remember how late their deals came about at the deadline with O'Sullivan and Kotalik.
Craig Button said on my radio show earlier this week that many teams overvalue their pick on draft day, and that's why many deals fall through at the last moment, because the ransom is just too much.
It sounds like that might be the case with the Thrashers. Their demands for the Oilers might be too rich right now. Tambellini won't over pay, because the Oilers still feel they can get a quality player at #10. If they don't move up, I'd expect Glennie or MPS to be called by the Oilers.
Bruins just got introduced and got booed heavily. Gotta love rivalries.
5:06 p.m. MST
Former Habs owner George Gillette address the crowd. Lots of energy in the building. Each team had to announce who would call the name of their draft pick, and it will be Steve Tambellini for the Oilers.
Everyone is waiting patiently for this to start. There has been a bit of a delay, and now they are showing highlights of some of the top prospects. Tavares was shown first...is that foreshadowing, we shall see soon.
This big screen is crystal clear. It is awesome.
Now there are previewing Hedman. I hope they don't do the top ten or the draft won't start until 5:30
5:11 p.m MST
Dreger reports that Pronger has been dealt to Philly. It sounds like Lupul, but more details to come. The Flyers continue to surprise, and now maybe Lupul and Pronger have been involved in a deal for the second time.
5:17 p.m MST
Finally the first pick. Garth Snow makes everyone wait a bit more with some thanks to Montreal and their fans and then he goes with what I expected John Tavares. The fans at Nassau are busting it out with some confetti. A strong contingent of Islander fans here are cheering loudly.
Expect Hedman #2 and then Duchene #4...The intrigue will come if the Thrashers hold their pick or deal it.
5:53 p.m MST
WE had to wait 25 minutes to talk to Tavares. Well spoken young man, and he is very focused on bringing back success to Long Island. I knew the Islanders would take him, it was too big of a risk to pass up on a guy with his goal scoring ability. Hedman might be just as good, but the Islanders needed a scorer.
THey are playing highlights of players blocking shots on the big screen. Classic. And every time they show a picture of Vinny the place goes nuts. If the Habs somehow trade for him, I bet there will be a five minute ovation.
Larsson is soft, but it isn't surprising that the Coyotes took him. They have made some horrible first round picks and he might be another.
The "67" chant rains down from the rafters. That is awesome. That is a great chant. If the Oilers ever win the Cup again, you can bet that the next year Oiler fans will chant Eighty...NINE when the Flames come to town.
Burke can't even speak. This is one of the few times he has to pause before he speaks, so he'll probably say something good. Kadri is a solid pick. His tenacity is his best asset say the scouts.
6:31 p.m MST
I will be stunned if the Oilers don't choose LW Magnus Paajarvi Svensson. If they do I wonder if they will stitch both names on the back of the jersey. His numbers don't show it 7-10-17 in 50 games in the SEL, but they like his speed and offensive prowess.
I'll be curious if he stays in Sweden of they bring him over to play Major Junior.
He can skate, and some compare him to Markus Naslund. We'll go see what MacGregor and company have to say about him.
7:15 p.m. MST
MacGregor on Svensson.."He's a big power forward who takes it to the net and is a great skater. He's already played in two world junior tournament and will have another opportunity to play in Saskatoon this year. His game is an up tempo game and that's what we are hoping he can play in the NHL"
I also asked MacGregor about the plan looking ahead to round two and beyond.
"For our second pick we are going to go with a projection pick, a player that has a real big upside. Before I came to talk to you we were looking at what the scenarios would be and if we could make an attempt to try and get back in the first round"
7:30 p.m. MST
The Hab fans go nuts when the Canadiens are put on the clock. It was deafening in here. They start to sing their patented O le O le O le Ohhh lee song. They are hoping for a trade annoncement with Tampa Bay, but it won't happen. The Bolts aren't moving Vinny at this moment.
7:36 p.m MST
Hab fans give Louis Leblanc a standing ovation after his name is called at #18.
The Oilers are working the phones and might have another pick before the day is out.
They liked D-man John Moore and he is still available, also Carter Ashton is still out there...
7:51 p.m. MST
The Flames trade down three picks and add a 3rd rounder from New Jersey. Could the Devils "Parise" them like they did the Oilers back in 2003. The Devils moved five spots to take Parise, while the Oilers got the 22nd and 68th picks which turned out to be Pouliot and Jacques.
The Devils just took Jacob Josefson, the 4th Swede taken in the first round already.
8:26 p.m. MST
The energy in the building is similar to the feeling on the Nation...subdued. It was a good ride, but now they want it to end. You have to be respectful of the young kids waiting for their name to be called.
Awkward moment of the day comes for the Johansson family. Marcus Johansson went 24th to the Capitals and his family was very excited, his mom gave him the longest kiss or any mom on the day. It was good comedic relief for the crowd and got a mixed reaction.
Just going to interview Tambellini will be back with his thoughts in a bit.
8:52 p.m MST
I asked Tambellini how close he was to moving up into the top five.
"We knew that at pick ten it would take something incredible for us to move. If I had a pick in the top four, I don't think I would have moved to far down, maybe five or six, but to move to ten it would have taken a lot for that team to accept our deal."
Does the Pronger trade reveal how much it will cost to get a superstar? Is the asking price that high?
"Depends on who the player is I guess. Pronger is a dominant player and he will change what Philly looks like. That is a franchise type move, not just a player move. "
Do you think something will still be available on the table tomorrow?
I don't know. There is so much discussion, it's almost like the trade deadline where you feel like you've talked to everyone a dozen times around the horn. There was so much talk coming into today I thought maybe there would be a little bit more than what happened, but it could be tomorrow. There's lots that can happen tomorrow or before July 1st."
That wraps up day one from the 2009 NHL entry draft. Only one big move, and a move by the Flyers that has many wondering if they overpaid for the Human Rake, giving up Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa and two first rounders. The Oilers did get a LW but it wasn't Heatley who many fans were hoping for.
And I wonder if the Flames in fact gave the Devils some compensation for signing Brent Sutter. The Flames had the 20th pick and traded down to Devils pick at 23. The Flames did get a 3rd rounder, but you wonder if that was a back door hand shake.
Talk to you tomorrow.
June 26 2009, 06:01PM
lots of hype no action
June 26 2009, 06:02PM
Trade here we go...Blue Jackets move down...Islanders move up ten spots...wow...
That could be the most boring trade I have ever heard of
I think Hamilton should bid to host the draft next year!
how can the yotes afford to send that many people to the draft. Cant they phone them in?
I wonder how Keith Gretzky got his job.....word of the day... NEPITISM
June 26 2009, 06:05PM
Horrible pick by the Coyotes. Larsson is soft as margarine. That was the pick the Oilers needed, now we will see if their guy falls to them.

Agree, but I want a trade... Nillson to the Islanders for a daily bowle movement?
@ Wanye Gretz: No your right, people will do anything to keep a job in this recession. In fact I just got back from LA from my date with MJ......too soon??
@ skinny65:
Gregor has been commenting and updating the blog as he sees fit. He could also be drunk.
Whoa Burke low blows Ottawa with Kadri
representing the arabic constingency Nazem Kadri.....that pick is the bomb
Gotta love the prick!
2 crazy picks in a row. Good news for us.

i would expect nothing less
I would pay good money to watch a highlight show of Pierre McGuire talking about players when they are drafted, but I want to see it from ten years after they are drafted. Like how picking Carey Price was "off the reservation."
Kinda like hearing that dialogue between Burke and Murray. I doubt its always that direct but neat to see.
wayne: what your email?
I gotta say I am lovin Brownlees earlier post "The List" right now...
hmm this will leave Gleannie open, I am still hoping for Ellis...
June 26 2009, 06:18PM
There goes our guy...
Whoa, Gleannie is gone, does this mean Kulikov?
earlier than expected
There goes out pick... who do we take now?
Do we know which first rounders were included in the Pronger trade? This year's and next?
holy cow Glennie... ALREADY?!!
Dammit. There goes Glennie.
Hopefully M.P.S
Glennie to Dallas, he was on the ilers radar wasn't he?
Cowen or MAGNUS PAAJARVI-SVENSSON ill be available. I bet they take one of those.
MPS! please.
June 26 2009, 06:22PM
Wooooooooo either Cowan or MSP.... great day for the Oil!
June 26 2009, 06:23PM
Both were considerd top 5 prospects at one point!!
watch them take schroeder and piss me off.
I'll take Cowan... all the more reason to trade a D-man. He will be ready in a year.
I change my mind, I hope we get Cowen
@ Doug: Ellis will be a great AHL player.
someone send him to a dermotologist... how many guys have been good in the NHL with acne like that?
June 26 2009, 06:28PM
- Pronger will be great with the Flyers.... but man they got ripped.
If the Oil draft him I will never refer to MAGNUS PAAJARVI-SVENSSON as MPS. I shall call him MAGNUS PAAJARVI-SVENSSON for that is his name.
Oilers trade down and get Kassian and another pcik
Yeessss!!! MPS available!!!! Oilers take him!!!!!!
I am with Wanye! MAGNUS PAAJARVI-SVENSSON MAGNUS PAAJARVI-SVENSSON MAGNUS PAAJARVI-SVENSSON
June 26 2009, 06:29PM
Finally an Oilers reference Big Mac gets his name on the screen
I am with Wanye!
To quote Robin Brownlee: "THE SKINNY: To steal from Paajarvi-Svensson, the Oilers would "shit their pants" in unison if Kane was around at 10th. They've got no chance at getting him unless they move up to the 4th-7th picks. Take this to the bank: they like him enough to try."

Even before the Wright brothers guided their fixed-wing aircraft over North Carolina dunes, daredevils and engineers worked to decode the secrets of sustained heavier-than-air human flight. Today, all of that aerodynamic knowledge makes it possible to keep planes flying high above the earth. Want to become an aviator, too? Then you have to know a little about the physics of flight. Start here.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
Which of the following is NOT a force acting on airplanes?
An airplane flying straight and level at a constant speed has four forces acting on it: lift, drag, weight and thrust. Weight and mass are not the same thing. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight factors in the downward pull of gravity on an object.
Question 2 of 20
What part of an airplane is responsible for creating thrust?
In light aircraft, piston engines drive propellers. Propellers deflect air backward, and this air pushes back, creating thrust. The same principle applies to jet engines, which blast hot, expanding gases to the rear of the plane and, in turn, get pushed back by those same gases.
Question 3 of 20
Which force acts in the opposite direction of thrust?
The forces acting on a plane work in opposing pairs. Weight opposes lift, drag opposes thrust. During steady, level flight, the pilot adjusts the engine power and various control surfaces to keep the opposing forces in balance.
Question 4 of 20
What part of an airplane is responsible for creating lift?
Birds figured it out long before humans: You gotta have wings if you're going to fly. Wings create lift, the upward-acting force that gets your feet off the ground.
Question 5 of 20
What's the scientific name for a wing?
Wing sounds so simple, but airfoil soars with sophistication. Technically speaking, an airfoil is the shape of the wing -- a curved surface with a rounded leading edge and a sharp trailing edge.
Question 6 of 20
Which well-known scientific principle describing the pressure of moving fluids is often invoked when discussing how an airplane generates lift?
Archimedes' principle
Bernoulli's principle
Daniel Bernoulli and his famous principle get a lot of attention when it comes to lift. A lot of aviation enthusiasts would argue, however, that Bernoulli is only part of the lift story though.
Boyle's law
Question 7 of 20
What controversial book, first published in 2001, rejects the conventional wisdom about airplane wings and lift?
"Falling Up"
"Understanding Flight"
In 2001, David Anderson and Scott Eberhardt published "Understanding Flight" as a practical and intuitive guide to mechanical flight. In the book's opening paragraph, they made a bold statement that many took as heretical: "Forget Bernoulli's theorem."
"Wright and Wrong"
Question 8 of 20
A different, more modern view of airplane flight relies on another famous scientific principle. Which one?
Darwin's theory of natural selection
Einstein's theory of relativity
Newton's third law of motion
Move over Bernoulli, Newton wants to fly this plane. According to authors Anderson and Eberhardt, Newton's third law of motion is perfectly capable of explaining how a wing works: Grossly simplified, it says that the wing pushes the air down, so the air pushes the wing up.
Question 9 of 20
When air flows over an airplane wing, it sticks to the surface. What's the name of this process?
Coanda effect
When a fast-moving fluid encounters an airfoil, the fluid sticks to the surface and follows the curve. This is known as the Coanda effect, named after Henri Coanda, a Romanian scientist who first described the phenomenon in the 1930s.
Coriolis effect
Photoelectric effect
Question 10 of 20
What term describes the degree to which an airfoil is curved?
On an airfoil, the amount of curvature is determined by the camber line. Airfoils with positive camber -- the upper surface curves more than the lower surface -- generate better lift.
Question 11 of 20
What are the two main types of drag?
king and queen
light and heavy
parasitic and induced
Drag falls into two categories. The first, known as parasitic drag, is related to the friction between the aircraft and the air. The second, known as induced drag, arises as a resistance to lift. Who knew flying could be such a, well, drag?
Question 12 of 20
This term sounds threatening, but it merely describes the position of the wing relative to airflow.
angle of attack
For an airfoil to work, the leading edge of the wing must be inclined upward. The more it's inclined, the greater the angle of attack. Put another way, the angle of attack is the angle between the chord, or midline, of an airfoil and the direction of the surrounding undisturbed flow of gas or liquid.
killer coefficient
Question 13 of 20
What's the relationship between the angle of attack and lift?
As the angle of attack increases, lift decreases.
As the angle of attack increases, lift increases.
The angle of attack is related to the amount of lift. Lift will increase as the angle of attack is increased -- up to a point (called the critical angle of attack). For most aircraft, lift will be maximized if the angle of attack remains below 17 degrees.
There's no relationship between angle of attack and lift.
Question 14 of 20
What happens when a plane reaches the critical angle of attack?
It flips.
It stalls.
While it's true that increasing the angle of attack increases lift, it's also true that you can have too much of a good thing. When the angle of attack becomes too steep, the wing can't generate lift, and the aircraft stalls.
It stops.
Question 15 of 20
What part of an airplane controls pitching (tilting the nose up or down)?
Elevators are hinged flaps located on the tail of the plane. Raising the elevators deflects air downward, which pushes the tail down (and the nose up). Lowering the elevators pushes the tail up (and the nose down).
Question 16 of 20
What part of an airplane controls rolling?
A roll results in an up and down movement of the wings. Such motion is controlled by two hinged flaps, located on each wing, known as ailerons. When the starboard aileron is raised, it deflects air upward, which produces a downward force on the wing, causing the wing to fall. The opposite occurs when the port aileron is raised.
Question 17 of 20
What part of an airplane controls yawing (turning the nose left or right)?
No, not "yawning" -- that's controlled by something entirely different. Yawing describes an airplane that's turning about its vertical axis. And the aircraft control responsible for that is the rudder. Turn the rudder to starboard, and you'll aim the plane's nose in that direction.
Question 18 of 20
Turning an airplane smoothly requires a pilot to operate two controls simultaneously. Which ones?
ailerons and rudder
A smooth, graceful turn looks so easy, but it takes a practiced pilot working the rudder and the ailerons simultaneously.
elevators and rudder
throttle and elevators
Question 19 of 20
Supersonic flight changes aerodynamics drastically. Which two forces are affected most?
lift and drag
When an aircraft approaches the speed of sound (assuming 660 mph per second at 30,000 feet above sea level), its interaction with the surrounding air changes. That's because the air flowing over the plane is going faster than the plane itself. One of the most important effects is a very large increase in drag, as well as a reduction in lift.
thrust and lift
weight and drag
Question 20 of 20
What number can be determined by dividing the speed of an aircraft by the speed of sound in air?
lift coefficient
Mach number
Scientists appreciate convenience as much as anyone else. Because the ratio of aircraft speed to the speed of sound has such important implications for flight, aerodynamicists came up with a convenient way to express the relationship -- the Mach number. Flight that's faster than Mach 1 is classified as supersonic. Flight that's faster than Mach 5 is classified as hypersonic.
Reynolds number

Saline County voters went to the polls yesterday and decisively chose former candidate for U.S. President Mitt Romney as their next leader, despite President Barack Obama's win nationwide.
Obama received 3,697 Saline County votes while Romney received 6,803. In Gallatin County Obama received 1,028 votes and Romney received 6,803 votes, according to the Associated Press.
Incumbent Republican, U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, beat his opponent in the county by nearly 5,000 votes. Shimkus received in his district a total of 203,280 votes or 69 percent and his opponent Angela Michael received 91,992 or 31 percent.
Incumbent Democratic state senator Gary Forby also beat his opponent Mark Minor in Saline County, gaining around 60 percent of the votes. He won the position in the rest of the 59th district, as well. Forby's total votes in his district were 55,545 or 58 percent to Minor's 39,964 or 42 percent.
In addition, Democrat Judy Cates beat out Republican Stephen McGlynn in the race for a vacant seat in the Fifth District Appellate Court in the county, following the rest of the 37 counties the district covers. In Saline County she received 4,796 or 55 percent of the vote to McGlynn's 3,928 or 45 percent. In the district she received 281,228 votes of 52 percent while Stephen McGlynn received 259,662 votes or 48 percent.
As far as county races go, incumbent Republican Jerry Doug Watson beat Democrat Curt Hustedde for the position of county coroner, though it was a close race. Watson received 5,469 votes or 53 percent to Hustedde's 4,788 or 46 percent.
"No matter who wins tonight, I know someone qualified will be the coroner for this county," Hustedde said before the final results were tallied.
The question of Home Rule, which was only on Harrisburg ballots, was voted down, with 57 percent of voters choosing to vote against the referendum. The referendum received 1,285 votes in support and 1,736 votes against.
City Commissioner John McPeek was surprised by the results on that question, as the commissioners were hoping it would win easily.
The race was close for county board members, with some surprises. Republican Carey Harbison received the most votes with 5,882, followed by Democrat David Phelps 5,131. The remaining 11 positions will be filled by Republican Joe Jackson with 4,659, Democrat Jim Fowler with 4,504, Republican Roger Craig with 4,481, Republican Karla Carrigan with 3,945, Republican Dennis Wilson with 4,056, Republican Jeff Murrie with 3,888, Democrat Bob Oglesby with 4,085, Democrat Bruce Tolley with 3,867, Democrat Gary Siebert with 3,858, Democrat Danny Gibbs with 4,456 and Democrat Molly Wilson-Dearing with 3,633.
A total of 10,949 ballots were cast in Saline County, out of more than 16,000 registered voters.

Hmm.. I was wondering if the less black color doesn't mean the more used up eyes - Madara lost his sigh but his brother was still all right and on the picture we can see them before this event and Madara's eyes are more 'white'. Maybe I'm wrong but doesn't white eyes means that someone is blind?
But of course this is only one of many theories we can make.
