The Hurricanes claimed all five points against the Blues in a 35-19 victory that keeps them in touch with New Zealand's leading trio.
The Hurricanes claimed all five points against the Blues in a 35-19 win that keeps them in touch with the leading trio in New Zealand's conference.
Victory puts Mark Hammett's side on 30 points which is nine off pace-setters the Chiefs, four off the Highlanders and three from the Crusaders.
Another loss for the Blues – their ninth out of ten this term – means they are a huge 27 points off the franchise from Hamilton in the conference.
The Blues looked hungry for only their second win of the season as, from the outset, Rene Ranger made a statement in defence when the 'Canes went wide. That early leg-up had its reward too when the home side failed to roll away and that allowed ex-'Cane Piri Weepu to open matters.
But the Hurricanes, who were themselves coming off a defeat, struck back five minutes later when Beauden Barrett went the aerial route and put a ball onto the head of George Moala. It proved a successful option as high-ball specialist Cory Jane forced Moala to fumble the ball into the path of Conrad Smith. The captain was already not the Blues most favourite person after scoring a late winner against them in Auckland and further caused them problems with this score.
Barrett had missed the conversion but later added three points from the kicking tee either side of two attempts from the man replacing Gareth Anscombe at fly-half, Michael Hobbs.
Weepu was in good form with the boot and around the field as he strives to return to fitness before the June Tests and when he made it 13-8 with half-an-hour gone, the Blues were playing a more structured style than last time out. Pat Lam would have been much happier.
It did not last long though when wing Cory Jane broke out from his own 22 before fending a chaser and handed on to Super Rugby's top try-scorer right now, Andre Taylor, who showed his speed to find the whitewash in the right corner. Barrett's off-night with the boot continued.
He did make amends just two minutes from half-time when striking three more points over the uprights from 35 metres out to make it 16-12 at the break, capping an entertaining half.
There was something of a lull to the fifteen minutes after the resumption until Julian Savea was denied a try in the corner as TMO Garratt Williamson informed referee Jaco Peyper that the wing had put his foot in touch before scoring. It was an unfortunate call not least after a good break and fine offload from Barrett. But one that did not take long to be scratched from the memory as the duo combined once again on 58 minutes as Savea dived over strongly.
Unfortunately for the Hurricanes though, that try didn't put them out of reach of their rivals as Barrett's conversion struck the post so it was 21-12 with just over 20 minutes remaining at Westpac Stadium. It was only delaying the inevitable however as the home side put the game to bed on 67 minutes. Their bonus-point was brought about in a similar manner to Savea's effort as, from a TMO decision against them, the Hurricanes then crossed in the aftermath when number eight Victor Vito picked up from the base of a scrum and popped to the nuggety TJ Perenara. The scrum-half showed good strength to force his way over.
Centre Benson Stanley scored the Blues' only try in the 74th minute but it was too late to affect the outcome of the match and was ultimately chalked off when a stray pass from Hadleigh Parkes found lock Jason Eaton who stepped two players to add the icing.

By J. Fred Sidhu, special to USTA.com
Cathy Harvey, a member of the USTA Section Pacific Northwest women's 4.5 team, knew there was something wrong last Monday when she took a wrong step.
Harvey, a resident of Bremerton, Wash., took a break from her preparation for this weekend's 2013 USTA League Adult 40 & Over 4.5 National Championships and attended a concert with friends at Seattle's Key Arena featuring pop star Pink.
Following the concert, Harvey crossed the street to a nearby parking garage when she stepped in a small hole and fell to the ground.
"It was dark and there was a hole and I stepped in it," she said. "I heard something and thought, 'Oh my gosh, I think I just broke my leg.'"
Harvey's friends helped her up and initially thought she was uninjured, but Harvey knew immediately that something was wrong with her right leg.
"I actually heard it break. We went to the ER, and sure enough, I had broken my fibula," Harvey said. With all of the traffic from the concert, it took Harvey and her friends half an hour to get to a hospital, and after waiting to have X-rays taken and to see a doctor, she finally arrived home around 5 a.m.
The injury essentially ended Harvey's USTA League season and any thoughts of playing in the 4.5 National Championship at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, which would have marked her third appearance in the League Nationals.
Despite the injury, Harvey accompanied her team to Indian Wells to cheer them on. "I was going to come as long as the doctor said it was OK. I was concerned that I might have to have surgery," she said. "The good news is that I don't need surgery."
There is a hint of sadness in Harvey's voice as she watched her team's first match. The former University of Washington tennis player spoke about how she felt not being able to play this weekend with teammate Robin Richie, her longtime doubles partner of more than 20 years.
"You're kind of sad because you work so hard to get here, then you feel like you let your partner down. She had to find a new partner at the last minute. I feel bad about that," said Harvey, who has been playing USTA League tennis since 1991.
Even though she's not playing, Harvey's teammates are happy she made the trip to support them in their quest for a National Championship. "The team has been very good about carting me around. We rented a [wheel]chair down here and I have crutches," Harvey said.
"We pretty much begged her to come. We made sure she was taken care of. She's been a real inspiration and it's been great," said team captain Debbie Gilman. "We miss her and we wish she was playing."

Skip to comments.Peaceful protest of Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles flares into violence
Posted on 07/16/2013 7:37:11 AM PDT by penelopesire
A peaceful protest of the Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles unraveled into violence late Monday after a large group broke off and began smashing store windows, vandalizing cars and attacking bystanders, authorities said. More than 300 LAPD cops flooded the Crenshaw district in southwest L.A. after some 150 people splintered off from a prayer vigil in Leimert Park and blazed a trail of anarchy along nearby Crenshaw Boulevard, according to local reports.
Protesters jump on a pickup truck in Los Angeles on Monday.
Helicopter footage showed angry rioters jumping on cars, breaking storefront windows, setting fires in curbside trash cans and attacking bystanders, including two people sitting on a bus bench at Slauson Avenue. Several of the rioters stormed a Wal-Mart and a mall at the Crenshaw Baldwin Hills shopping plaza, where witnesses said the goons stole merchandise, knocked down store displays and smashed furniture, local NBC4 reported.

Goin' ghetto shoppin'.....
Police: reload guns from rubber bullets to lead.
No one can control the Flash Mob looters taking advantage of the situation.
It starts out peaceful until they see what they are shopping for.
"Peaceful protest" is that a oxymoron? Just asking.
It's clearly escalating due to the early "kid gloves" handling by the police.
By the way those doing the vandalism and looting don't have a clue as to the Martin trial. They are in it for the loot and the excitement.
Just as those who looted after MLK death.
It's all about free stuff and stealing from "The man".
Ghostery found 16 trackers www.nydailynews.com
Bullets? Weak. Try grenades.
Thanks! That is probably true of most news sites these days is it not?
POWER TO THE PEOPLE! We don't need the police to protect us! The people can protect themselves!
Uh... unless you are George Zimmerman. Then you can't have any power to defend yourself...
Nah! Just use tranquilizer darts. No fatalities, and from reading of the miss/hit ratios of the police, a lot of 'em could use the practice!
I suspect interlaced M-60 fire would control the flash mobs.
Obama's marxist peeps stirring the pot. It is way past time to demand Holder's resignation or impeachment...not to mention Obama's. I am calling my reps today. Enough.
what is scary is that there are a couple who actually agree with these loons from the fringe left like the workers party on here and will cite homosexual marriage, to drugs to anything goes.
The story doesn't say...how many arrests do think there were?
Gee, I wonder who's paying them to protest? [not]
Excellent graphic!
I am just bored to death with the victemology in the Black community.. they should go back to shooting each other and leave the rest of us who have nothing to do with it... alone
they are like the jihads always offended about something... get over it and clean yourselves up. Civilization isnt bad once you give it a try
For any who might be interested:
Free, effective, configurable
"We demand more free stuff!!!"
Not enough! They will be back at it tonight. I listened to scanner til late in the night and not many were caught because the police mostly stood back from the crowd.
So they must all be in favor of gun rights/s
Thanks for the link. Not sure what we would talk about here though if we did not link to news stories. The vanity threads would eventually drive us all crazy....lol.
Not enough! They will be back at it tonight. I listened to scanner til late in the night and not many were caught because the police mostly stood back from the crowd.
Yep — we're going to see this go on, just like this, all summer long, until the good people of the world are terrorized to go out, businesses have to shut down, and society just basically crumbles.
We're being held hostage by a bunch of home grown terrorists, funded by US AND our tax dollars.
Our government is useless in its prevention of our safety.
This country is just going to hell in a handbasket ...what else is there to say?
On the left, ONE might be peaceful. Two or more is usually destructive and often deadly. Doesn't even matter what ethnicity. What matters is the 'grievance' of the 'victims' whether real or perceived. 99.9% of the grievances are fantasies with no basis in reality.
Quelle surprise!!!
Ah, the North American Urban Apes doing more damage to their image than any crazy a$$ white cracker!
Cops should have secured the doors of the Wal-Mart after the looters entered and arrested anyone in the store. It would have helped to clean up the gene pool.
"A peaceful protest of the Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles unraveled into violence late Monday "
Then it wasn't a peaceful protest.
Agree with every word.
They don't say how long it stayed "peaceful"...
2 seconds? 2 hours?
Looting is just considered Christmas in July for many blacks.
There never has been, there is not now and there never will be a "Peaceful Protest."
We could use a few more Korean grocery store owners...
There was vandalism and fire setting right off the bat, but Obama and his media want the 'protests' to continue..so we will not get the truth.
Angry, my eye. You can bet they were having a good ol' time.
Only 150. There were more at Costco yesterday.
"Trayvon died so I could get me some free hair care products."
Yep...lots of black female thuggets getting in on the action too. I actually heard a police dispatcher last night laughing while reporting on scanner that a white woman had been hit on back of head by a black woman wielding a shoe. She was bleeding in back of head and the dispatcher thought it funny I guess. Very unprofessional to say the least. The police in Oakland were a joke last night.
"In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things."
The Communist Manifesto.
And "prayer rally?" Please!

(LIBERTY, Mo.) Like he did often throughout the fall season, North Andrew's Zach Officer found plenty of holes in the defense Saturday.
He scurried for four touchdowns as he and the Red Squad downed the Blue Squad 48-32 in the 5th Annual Missouri 8-Man Senior All-Star Game at William Jewell College.
Officer's four trips to the end zone are an All-Star Game record and earned him Most Valuable Player honors on that side of the ball. Three of those came in the first half as Red jumped out to a 26-14 halftime lead.
Worth Country running back Dallas Greenland's one-yard plunge and a scoring strike from Osborn to Jacob Uribe of Norbone made up Blue's first-half point total.
Southwest Livingston's Mason Mehrhoff took home Defensive MVP after intercepting a Reid Osborn pass for a touchdown in the third quarter.
It marked the end of forty-one seniors high school careers, including outgoing state champions Reid and Spencer Osborn, Jacob Heddinger, and Corey Comer of Stanberry. It was also the last time on the sidelines for former Worth County Head Coach Chuck Borey, who won five state championships.

Kobe Bryant made a guarantee the Los Angeles Lakers would reach the NBA playoffs.
If you don't like it, leave.
The All-Star guard was a guest Thursday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he wore awesome leopard-print shoes and talked about all sorts of things, including that guarantee. The Lakers are in ninth place in the Western Conference but closing in on the Utah Jazz for the final berth.
PLAYOFF WATCH: Every team's chances
Jimmy Kimmel: You're a game and a half out of the playoffs. You've guaranteed the team will make the playoffs. What do the other guys say when you go and make a guarantee like that?
Bryant: If anyone in the locker room would have said, "Well, I don't know if we're going to make it," I would have called the Buss family and said, "Cut this guy right now, man. Get him out of here."
Kimmel: So there's not a spirit of openness and communication going on in that locker room.
Bryant: Well, there is, as long as it's a winning one.
Bryant discussed his daughter's competitive nature ("We can't compete ... on who falls asleep first; we have no way of keeping track"), the Lakers' improving defense ("It's about time we started playing some kind of defense"), getting old ("I have to do a lot to make sure my body's recovered") and more. He was charming and smooth, as always.
Kimmel even got a nice burn on Bryant, after asking him whether he would visit North Korea for diplomatic relations, a la former Lakers teammate Dennis Rodman.
RODMAN: He and Kim Jong Un team up in NBA Jam
"I think I would pass," Bryant said.
"Oh, for once, you're passing," Kimmel said.
But mostly, the shoes.

"The moment I wear it on after it shipping to my house, I knew it beats all my luxury shoe collections. Light weight, very soft top, elegant heel, artfully colored...I bought my size, a little tight, but I don't like pump shoe to be loose."

Beautiful but small
"This shoe is beautiful however it runs short and narrow. I have a long narrow foot. When the heel is very high, like this shoe, I generally size up a full size. I did that with this shoe unfortunately my foot barely fit into the shoe. So sad but I had to return them."

Not for me
"I was really excited to get these shoes but they were a disappointment. The arch was very steep (despite the platform) and very uncomfortable. The shoe itself if very pretty but requires a very thin foot to fit into it and walk around. A bigger size wouldn't have helped.One of the previous reviews stated they were very comfortable but I didn't have that experience at all. Had to return :("

I really wanted to like them
"None of my local stores carried any of the sculpted wedge heels, so I chose to order these online. I know they're patent leather, but I didn't expect the platform to be so shiny. The platform also is thinker than it looked to me based on the picture online. Add in that the strap around the toe was too narrow for my narrower-than-average foot, and my heel hanging off the end, and these shoes had to be returned.And no, they were not easy to walk around in. I'm a 4" heels all the time girl, and these were just too much. I could barely stand."

Controversy Indeed!
"These shoes are amazing! Very comfortable and I get compliments everywhere I go in them. I purchased them in black but I'm going to order them in every color offered because it's the perfect shoe to dress up any outfit. I'm a true size 6.5, I don't feel like they are narrow but someone with a wide/flat foot wouldn't be comfortable in them."

Stylish and Comfortable
"I think the title says it all. What more could you ask for? A stylish shoe, with great comfort, at an affordable price. At first I was a little skeptical about a "heelless" shoe, but these are wonderful and they are true to size. Not only are they trendy, yet simple they're a breeze to walk in. I would recommend these shoes to any woman looking to make a statement, without being too over the top."

Five Things: Strength of schedule
Ryan Lambert
December 14 2011 10:04AM
This week consider the Flames aspirations for the playoffs, Brendan Morrison's refusal to go away and I have become a hesistant fan of Blake Comeau.
1. Ready for a run?
Saw in the Herald the other day that Iginla thinks the Flames are primed to go on a run and reestablish their contention for a Western Conference playoff spot.
This was based on his belief that the team is really rounding into form in the last few games, as they had skated past their last few opponents with relative ease. And certainly, it's hard to argue with 13 points from the last eight games (not including last night). But shockingly, the cynic in me says, "so what?"
These haven't exactly been the world's greatest wins, wins though they may be. Minnesota, Nashville, Edmonton (twice), Colorado and Carolina ain't exactly the Boston Bruins, and in that period they've also looked pancake-flat against Columbus and, especially, Vancouver.
So the real question, I guess, is whether the Flames have enough bad games left on the schedule that they can put together a good enough case for their playoff contention. So far, 14 of their points have come against Colorado and Edmonton. That doesn't tell me a whole lot, quite frankly.
2. Then there's this other thing...
And really the issue isn't and shouldn't be beating bad teams more often than not, but beating good teams about half the time or so.
Calgary has demonstrated next to no ability to do that. The Flames have beaten Detroit and Chicago and (if we're really stretching the definition) Minnesota, all fairly convincingly at the time, but in most other games against "Western Conference Playoff Contenders," they've lost and looked bad doing it.
The teams that are Top-8 in the Western Conference as of Wednesday morning have played the Flames 14 times (though to be fair they've not played the Sharks) and Calgary has taken just 10 points from those games. That's not good enough, obviously, and it's also bad news given that the stretch from this Friday to next goes Florida, Chicago, Minnesota, Detroit and Vancouver. It's entirely possible that Calgary goes 0-5 in that stretch given that it's five games in seven days on both sides of the continent, with three of those games on the road.
If Calgary wants to have any pretentions of making or even competing for a playoff spot, they're going to want to win at least three of those games. The issue is that there's potentially a big difference between "can they?" and "will they?" these days. This loss to Nashville can't have been encouraging.
3. So what's the deal with Brendan Morrison?
Since December started, Brendan Morrsion has more or less been a house of fire. Last night was his first game without a point, and in the three games before that, he had two goals and five assists. Strong days at the office, but why is it happening?
And okay, yes. It's almost certainly tied to the scoring surge from Jarome Iginla, and he's been getting a bit more looks on the power play these days, but the real question I think the team has to start asking itself is whether Morrison can continue producing at anything approaching this level. Obviously he's not a seven-points-in-four-games player, but what's a reasonable expectation for him going forward? And more to the point, the team must at least be kicking around the idea of bringing him back if he puts up another 40 points like he did last year (as long as he'll take another cut-rate deal).
Certainly, he seems to work well enough with Iginla — who you'll remember is officially Part Of The Solution — and that has to count for something, since so few other guys do. How much does that count for when you're like 58 years old? Right now I'd bet a good amount of money we find out this summer since Jay Feaster is bad at his job and stuff.
4. I've become a reluctant Blake Comeau fan
You know me, I look for any opportunity at all to be skeptical.
Perhaps this folds a bit into the previous entry, but even though he's not setting the world on fire production-wise, I think he's been a pretty good player for what he cost (nothing. Not anything.). Plus, I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence that his arrival with the team coincides with the reemergence of Jarome Iginla as an offensive force.
Yes, I'm well aware that they play together approximately never, but his presence as a minor goalscoring threat certainly must affect how teams game-plan around Iginla. Before Comeau, the depth chart of Guys Who Could Theoretically Put the Puck in Net was as deep as a shot glass, but at least now there's the vaguest of guys who could at least make it appear like he'll do that once in a while.
Obviously the scoring has to start soon or other teams are going to go back to not caring and quintuple-covering Iginla with their best defensive players on every shift, but for now, he's had a fairly positive influence, don't you think?
5. Hey when does David Moss come back?
Because, like, any time would be pretty great in my estimation.
Calgary is completely in the heads of Colorado and Edmonton. Soft teams = Iginla putting up points = Morrison getting points = wins. Nothing more to it than that.
The five game stretch alluded to in the article will show what this team is really capable of (hint: a middling club that can beat up the lesser lights of the league, but has no business making the playoffs).
December 14 2011, 10:56AM
I really believe the Flames are going to start beating tougher opponents. I think their games have improved through the increased confidence to make plays.
Early in the season it was chip the puck along the boards and that was pretty much it. Now you see a deliberate build up starting from the back end. Even when the Flames are cycling down low they got there by controlling and possessing the puck, entering the offensive zone and starting the cycle. Early on they had to dump it in, win a race and a battle and hopefully start a cycle (which they rarely did).
In the first period against Vancouver they did control the puck and make plays. They can do it against good teams.
Comeau and Backlund have some good chemistry. I think both could be a little more direct in their play to get some consistent production. Of late, you see real good possession and passing but it's not turning into shots on net. This is indicative of the team's problems sometimes, they can get too cute. Possessing the puck is great, controlling the puck in order to get good looks is great but you have to have it end up as a shot on goal.
December 14 2011, 10:29AM
Good stuff, and good to have you back Ryan.
I have liked Comeau as well. with 4 pts in his first 10 games with the Flames, I wonder if the Isles are sitting back saying WTF??
I like the speed he has and I think he adds another physical component. Not sure if it's too late in his career, he is only 25, but I wonder if this kid could be turned into a Gary Roberts type player. That would be quite the addition for the Flames indeed.
The reality is last week, they beat the teams they needed to beat.
You never know which team will show up, they still looked like world-beaters against Detroit, Chicago and Minnesota. However, they need to beat the teams below and above them in the standings.
I don't expect them to beat Vancouver, but I did expect them to win one out of two games against St. Louis. They shouldn't have lost that Columbus game but they did.
I still see David Moss as trade bait, he was injured last season and injured again this season. I don't think he's lived up to expectations production wise and I lump him into the same category as Lombardi and Kobasew.
I wonder how long Cory Sarich will stay out of the lineup, he may have to wait until the new year to get traded at this rate.
I think by the New Year, we'll still see a team sitting around .500. It's not meant as a knock on the team, as I'm sure they'll try to win at a rate of around .650, which is what tehy'll likley need to make the play-offs. They've just been so inconsistent for so long, I don't see things changing. It's still not known how long Gio will be out, and while J-Bo is playing 30 minutes a game, his main role is shutting down the other teams top forwards, not being the offensive threat everyone has been waiting 2 years to see.
On a side note...I now officially would love to see the Flames trade for David Bolland. Based on recent comments he is now my favorite player not on the Flames roster.
December 14 2011, 01:21PM
Bolland would be a fantastic addition to the Flames. I just heard the interview and comments he made about the Sedins in particular. This is exactly the kind of guy I want especially as a center on the Flames. I would pay LARGE for this guy in a trade scenario.
Good stuff as always Ryan, agreed on everything, particularly watching Blake Comeau. I'm ready to see him start potting a few.
Also... Sidney Crosby is a vampire.
Question about NTC/NMC's, lets look at Cory Sarich. His contract expires this year, as of April ... say 7th he is not longer playing for Calgary on contract (assuming no playoffs which is fair at the moment), does he retain his NTC/NMC till July 1st when he would become a Unres FA, or does the NTC/NMC end Apr7th and Calgary could in theory get some 'value' for him before July1st?
Question about NTC/NMC's, lets look at Cory Sarich. His contract expires this year, as of April ... say 7th he is not longer playing for Calgary on contract (assuming no playoffs which is fair at the moment), does he retain his NTC/NMC till July 1st when he would become a Unres FA, or does the NTC/NMC end Apr7th and Calgary could in theory get some 'value' for him before July1st?
July 31 is the usual expiration date for most NHL contracts...I think 8:00 am EST but someone smarter than me should know better (Kent, Pat, Rob, VF...Yoda?) Sarich retains his NTC until that time, unless there is a clause in his contract that allows a window of time for the team to trade him without his needed consent. While slim, if Calgary tells Sarich before July 1 that they will not bring him back, there are 2 options.
1: Sarich lets his contract run out and he becomes a UFA and Calgary gets nothing.
2: Calgary finds a willing team interested in Sarich's services for next year and are willing to give a late pick so they can claim the rights to him and sign him before July 1.
3: The is also a chance of a 3rd option. Sarich says he wants to stay in Calgary for a reduced salary and Feaster agrees to it (I just got a full body shiver from that thought).
I'll lay $50 on option #1.
Follow Up: Sarich as a NMC, not a NTC.
December 14 2011, 03:49PM
Comeau will never be like Gary Roberts.
The Flames have zero chance of getting Bolland.
Calgary lost against Nashville so need to win the next two. 2/3 for the rest of the season should get them 8th. Whee.
The Tampa game should be a win(:)) Then we got Florida, Chic, Minny, Detroit & Vanc. Who truly thinks we'll be 3-2 after those 5? Maybe 1-4 & then the last 3 games of Dec are on the road against 3 beatable teams. Best case scenario is .500 going into 2012 & then Jan uary's schedule is just freaking nasty. We will be officially a seller come February. Just my prediction & the fun begins.
Sarich, I say let him sit until someone bucks up at least a 3rd rounder, the longer we wait, the better the return, until then, he'll be more of an insurance policy in case of a run of injuries. Moss should be traded as well. i wish I was more positive about the immediate future of our team but inconsistency has become the teams identity. It is what it is, If we thought we could push for 8th, I know I'll get barbecued, but with San Jose struggling, I wonder what the asking price for a Joe Thornton would be, I think he has a couple years left on his contract & would interesting to see if him & Iggy could connect & get some interesting chemistry. I know, what a retarded suggestion. I'm just thinking the we wont trade Iggy party line from Feaster. I dont think this is what we should do. Just thinking out loud.
December 14 2011, 10:21PM
Well I have real trouble pegging these Flames but based on what I've seen the last 2 years, I think being more on the negative side is safe. So 5-game trip results in 4-5 points (likely one OT/SO loss), win 2 of 3 at end of Dec and enter Jan just over .500.
As for PLAYER moves?
I agree the often-injured Moss - who is not missed and has a low salary should be part of a trade...how about him AND Sarich for a younger 6-8th defenceman with upside or even a junior-age goalie prospect to round out that area? Or maybe Moss, Sarich, and inconsistent Bourque for a couple decent skaters?
December 15 2011, 09:23AM
We will not get prospects for our detritus.
The best we can hope for is that some of our prospects actually pan out, and that one of them turns out to be elite level.
Given the festivus season, shouldn't the title have been Five Things: Feats of Strength?
hmmm, i think every team is poised to make a run at any given time lol
iginla's comments allude to the fact that he has absolutely no clue about how bad his team actually is.
when your team isn't pulling through, you have to blame your goalie... seemed to work for vancouver, anyway

Life took Fred Austin and Chuck Mehlman on separate journeys, but when their paths crossed in a classroom at Shoreline Community College, the pair found their pasts, and now futures, have much in common.
While studying at San Jose State, Austin was No. 4 on the military draft lottery. When the Fresno, Calif., native was offered the opportunity to enlist and serve his term in Germany on an Airborne Artillery Tank unit, he did so at the urgent request of his mother and friends as his brother had served and died in Vietnam. When he returned home Austin put his college plans on hold as he had a family to care for, and embarked on a 30 year career as a glazier journeyman. Austin and his wife moved to the Pacific Northwest where he worked for various glass companies before launching a successful window business out of his garage which he had to close eight years later when his customers were forced by insurers to go elsewhere.
Mehlman joined the Army within a week of graduating from Queen Anne High School. At 40, after 21 years and rising to the rank of captain in Special Forces, Mehlman retired from the Army as a helicopter pilot. He entered the University of Washington's College of Forest Services, majoring in paper science and engineering. After earning his bachelor's degree, Mehlman opened a Christmas tree farm in southwest Washington, which he still works at on weekends. By 2005 the economy and health issues forced him to look at other career options.
In 2008 Austin and Mehlman met on the opening day of class in the Computer-Numeric Controlled (CNC) Machinist class at Shoreline. On June 5 of this year, the pair sat next to each other during Commencement exercises, each with Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences degrees under their belts and good jobs with benefits waiting for them. Both graduated with honors.
While neither man had seen the CNC program in their futures before coming to Shoreline, both say it turned out to be the perfect fit.
"A friend of mine is a master machinist at Boeing and he said that the SCC program was a really good idea," Mehlman said, adding that he thought his engineering background would be complimentary to the machining program. Austin said his past brought him a great deal of safety knowledge and experience, an awareness required in manufacturing.
Both Austin and Mehlman say they found school to be something they enjoyed, especially the support they experienced from faculty, staff and administrators.
The CNC program includes not only the regular instructor, but also a basic math instructor and a "career navigator" who not only helps make industry and employment connections, but assists in other areas. As ex-military, Austin and Mehlman also qualified for help through Shoreline's award-winning Veterans Center.
Austin said that the one-one-one help he got from Keith Smith, CNC instructor and Chris Lindberg, math instructor was nothing short of amazing. Both were grateful for the support they got from the Veterans Administrator as well as Kim Cambern in Worker Retraining and counselors in WorkSource.
The career navigator, Michelene Felker, is also an important part of the team, working with industry to help make the connections with industry and the transition from school to employment as smooth as possible for students.
"She brought people like Royell Manufacturing and Genie Industries to campus to hire people," Austin said, "and helped us when times were tough." Felker also provided other services such as financial assistance when students were in a bind.
The students who pursue the AAAS degree take a number of classes outside of the CNC curriculum, such as English and computer applications. Austin found the same kind of support he got in the CNC program in those other areas.
"Karen (Toreson) was fantastic," Austin said of his computer skills instructor. With few computer skills, Austin said he was intimidated: "She always had time to help me."
Austin also took note of Betsey Barnett, multicultural studies instructor. "She gave me the confidence that I could do this at times when I was not confident," he said.
Shoreline's CNC Machinist program is considered one of the best in the region for producing skilled machinists. Students learn a broad range of skills, including using state-of-the-art equipment, and participate in the production of parts that are used by industry.
Students select from a range of degree and certificate options, including a two-year, Applied Associate in Arts and Sciences Degree in CNC Technology, a three-quarter Certificate of Proficiency and one quarter Certificate of Completion.
The program is accredited by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS). That means students are eligible to test for the NIMS certification, which assures that the skills graduates acquire that are recognized by industry and employers.
"With industry using the credentials to recruit, hire and promote machinists, and with few other programs in the state providing the NIMS stamp of approval, Shoreline students are ahead of the game in the job market," said CNC instructor Smith. "This really sets them apart from other machinists graduates. Employers count on our students."
Austin sets an example of what the NIMS certification can do for a machinist, having landed a job at the highly regarded manufacturing company, Royell Manufacturing, an aerospace-industry supplier located in Everett. Austin is one of five program graduates working for Royell.
"Fred is really good," Smith said. "He was a very good student and also has the people skills that will make him a very good manager."
Shoreline's program is also playing an important role in the resurgence of the manufacturing industry, which has been identified as critical to the economic health of the country by President Obama. Through Skills for America's Future, industry and colleges work closely to prepare a highly competent workforce that makes the U.S. competitive globally.
Shoreline is one of 20 community and technical colleges in Washington that is aligning their manufacturing programs with the needs of Boeing and the rest of the state's aerospace industry.
In conjunction with The Center of Excellence for Aerospace and Advanced Materials Manufacturing at Everett Community College, Shoreline and the other schools are working to assure that skills learned in the classroom can quickly be turned into employment.

Approximately 400 Shoreline Community College Worker Retraining students learned in May that the decline of the state budget hit close to home.
In past years, there was enough funding to support full tuition awards for Worker Retraining students for several quarters – now with state dollars dwindling, students are eligible for only two quarters of help, with a maximum of $925 per quarter. This means that students who have already completed two or more quarters are not be eligible for any more worker retraining dollars, money they counted on when starting their programs.
To make matters worse, the funding is available to only those students who are enrolled full-time (12 credits or more and 10 credits in summer). Although other state and federal assistance is available, restrictions on those funding streams can make it difficult, many times impossible, for many students to qualify.
"It is in times like this when we see our community leaders go above and beyond to help our students," said Jane McNabb, SCC Foundation Executive Director. "Although the Shoreline Breakfast Rotary made a $4,000 donation for student scholarships at this year's Foundation Breakfast, they recently gave another $2,000 when they learned about the position that our Worker Retraining students face.
"We are especially grateful for this gift in response to our needs for the students in our Workforce programs that would be unable to continue their programs without these scholarships."
James Abbott, President of the Shoreline Breakfast Rotary said the support fits the mission of Rotary.
"One of our principal objectives in Rotary is support of continuing education for those who demonstrate promise and perseverance," Abbott said in a letter to the foundation on June 8, 2011. "We have seen many students at Shoreline Community College with these attributes. We appreciate your efforts in preparing these students for the many challenges that can only be solved by the diverse educational opportunities provided at Shoreline Community College."
Kim Cambern, Program Specialist with the Worker Retraining Program, says that even though the situation is not good, students need to know that the funding will be available.
"You will receive all the same services you have in the past," Cambern said in a recent letter to students." She also reminded students that unemployment compensation will not be affected by the Worker Retraining cuts as long as they stay in school.
McNabb encourages students to apply for worker retraining scholarships; the application is located on the Foundation web site at: http://www.shoreline.edu/foundation/Scholarships.htm.

Students, family, friends, faculty and staff jammed the Shoreline Community College gymnasium on June, 5, 2011 for the 47th commencement exercises at the college. Speaking were student Daniel DeMay and faculty member Stephen McCloskey. DeMay used his own story as a high school dropout to illustrate that life's path can be changed. A business instructor, McCloskey's comments were along the same theme, telling the soon-to-be-graduates that is was he who was honored to be learning from them.

If you have a father who wants to be fashionable, but never paid more than $50 for a pair of jeans, that's okay, you don't have to spend a lot to look great. What matters the most is that the style is appropriate for the body type and it is well fitted.
The question of age appropriate jeans for older men often comes up. My answer to that would be, why can't a 65 year old man rock a pair of Acne or Ksubi jeans if he wants to? The europeans do it with such ease. If you've got the right body type and attitude then why the hell not? Youth is in the mind, body and soul of a person and if you feel good, you'll look good, granted, you wear the right fitting jeans and keep it simple.
Here is a list of great jeans that daddy can break in without breaking your bank account. Pair any one of these jeans with a crisp gingham button down, a neutral colored sports jacket and shoes for a winning Father's Day look!
J Brand Denim Co Kane 16″ Slim Straight Leg in Blacksmith, $79.00 (was $224)
J Brand takes the skinny movement straight to the guy…finally. The absolutely clean finish and sophisticated styles fit just about any guy's uncomplicated taste.
J. Crew Straight Fit Jean in Repaired Wash, $69.99 (was $160)
For a more modest take on the destroyed jean look this traditional cotton denim is ringspun for a vintage feel. Washed, distressed, destroyed and repaired??"it takes hours to give these hand-crafted jeans an authentic vintage look. A more relaxed fit that is comfortable yet stylish.
Cheap Monday Autobahn, $49 (was $70)
A classic straight leg mid-rise jean by Cheap Monday in a neutral dark grey-black denim. No bells or whistles, just pure simplicity that is the beauty of this denim jean.
Levi's 527 Dimensional Coating, $29.99 (was $54)
A looser fitting jean in low-rise boot cut 5-pocket jeans from Levi's Red Tab collection, finished in a dark coated wash. Contrast topstitching at the pockets; logo patch at the rear waistband.
Great items to tie the whole look together:
Charles Tyrwhitt Wimpole Blue Gingham Non Iron Classic Dress Shirt, $40 (was $160)
What great gift can there be to your father and mother than an iron free blue gingham check shirt. Your mother has one less shirt to iron.
Uniqlo Di Washed Cotton Jacket in Brown, $69.50
Simple, casual, great looking and most of all cheap!

Cute but too small!
"Very cute shoes and would be comfortable.... if they fit! Very narrow and also a bit short. I am usually pretty consistently a 9.5 so that's the size I ordered, and my toes were hanging off both sides, and my heel was just barely still on the back. Definitely order at least a half size up."

Kevin Sumlin on Texas A&M's changing perception: After Cotton Bowl, 'our phones were ringing off the hook'
To say Texas A&M wasn't getting much respect in its new conference last summer might be an understatement. Most media outlets had A&M finishing toward the bottom of the SEC West, and the question wasn't which bowl game the Aggies would make, but if they'd make one at all.
An SEC fan store even tried to sell a "Texas A&M Bulldogs" hat.
But after an 11-win season, a Heisman run and top-10 finish, the Aggies have gone from an SEC afterthought to the new "it" team in college football. The sudden transformation that isn't lost on head coach Kevin Sumlin.
"It's amazing. 13 months ago we were going to get our brains beat out. When I took the job, it's like I didn't know we were going to the SEC," Sumlin said during an interview on Houston radio show In the Loop with Nick and Lopez. "We had a bunch of detractors: 'Who are these coaches?' We were running an offense that won't work in a traditional, physical, line-of-scrimmage league like the SEC. And we understand that, but that's why I have so much respect for that first class that we signed and then the guys who were early commitments [in the 2013 class], because there was true faith that we were going to get it done."
Sumlin said the Aggies' national perception quickly started to shift when they started racking up wins, and it came to a head after A&M crushed Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl and climbed to No. 9 in the final BCS poll.
But even with all of A&M's on-field success, Sumlin feels like his school still has a ways to go in recruiting to keep pace with some of the other elite SEC programs.
"As we started to win and started to compete in the SEC and won some big ball games and finished up with a Cotton Bowl win, our phones were ringing off the hook," Sumlin said. "It got to a point where it went from, 'They're going to get their brains beat out,' and now people are saying, 'Don't go there because they're loaded.' Well, we're not loaded. We're still playing catch-up in the SEC. You look at our class and as good as it was, I was sitting in my office before I went downstairs for the press conference, and we're eighth in the country by ESPN and we're fifth in our own league and we're fourth in our division. So we've still got a ways to go and I think players and parents understand that, but I think they also understand the direction we're headed."

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- The Washington state Administrative Office of the Courts was hacked in February, and up to 160,000 social security numbers and 1 million driver license numbers may have been accessed during the data breach of its public website.
Officials with the courts announced Thursday that so far, it has been confirmed that 94 social security numbers were obtained. Initially, it was not believed that confidential information was obtained, but following an investigation by the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center, the broader breach was confirmed in April.
Courts spokeswoman Wendy Ferrell said that those potentially affected come from a defined group, including those who were booked into a city or county jail between September 2011 through December 2012, and those who received DUI citations or had traffic cases or superior court criminal cases during a specific period of time.
