Canadian beach volleyballers sizzling at FIVB World Juniors
HALIFAX - August 30, 2012.
Number-one seeds Taylor Pischke of Winnipeg and Melissa Humana-Paredes of Toronto completed an impressive preliminary round to advance directly to the round of 16 on Thursday at the FIVB World Junior Volleyball Championships.
Pischke and Humana-Paredes defeated Yael Losan and Viktoria Nesterov of Israel 21-9, 21-7 to finish the prelims in first place with a perfect 2-0 mark. The Canadians did not only allow more than nine points in any of their four sets.
"There is a lot of tough competition here in Halifax," said Humana-Paredes. "It's going to be a dog fight, but a good one. Playing with Taylor makes us a different team than in the past. Taylor is a permanent blocker and is a huge force and I am a defender and a finesse player so I think we will be a factor as the tournament moves forward. We definitely have a good start in winning our pool and putting us into the second round of elimination."
There was also good news for Charlotte Sider and Julia Hamer, both of Toronto who won their final preliminary round match to finish at 1-2 and third spot in pool H. They advance to the first round of the playoffs.
Julie Longman and Sophie Bukovec, also both of Toronto as well as Hillary Monette of New Minas, N.S., and Meaghan MacDougall of Hammond Plains, N.S., did not advance.
Great start for Canadian men
Preliminary round action got underway in the men's tournament. Number-one seeds Ben Chow of Surrey, B.C., and Nick Del Bianco of Coquitlam, B.C. won their opening match 21-13, 21-16 over Mateo Iwanowski and Lisandro Rouzic of Argentina.
Sixth-seeds Dallas Keith of Toronto and Garrett May of London, Ont.,opened with two wins as did Aaron Nusbaum of Aurora, Ont., and Grant O'Gorman of Toronto.
"We are looking good so far," said May playing at his fourth world juniors. "The first match in these tournaments is so tough because you don't know what to expect for sure. We came out strong today but we will need to keep it up because this year's field is as good or better than last year's was."
The world juniors are being held through Sunday at the purpose-built beach volleyball complex on the Salter Lot of the Halifax Waterfront for the second straight year after a wildly successful tournament in 2011.

"Nanoparticle Stained Glass" is a cart demonstration that introduces the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology. Visitors learn that the red and yellow colors in stained glass windows come from nanoparticles of gold and silver embedded in the glass. During the program, visitors listen to a short presentation, and then have the opportunity to participate in two hands-on activities: making a collaborative stained glass window with pre-made nanoparticle solutions containing silver or gold and making a take-away card that contains a small piece of nanoparticle stained "glass".
- Understand that nanoparticles of gold and silver behave differently than bulk gold and silver.
- Appreciate the interconnection between science and art.
- Learn that nanotechnology has been used since the Middle Ages, even though stained glass artisans did not know they were using this technology.
- Realize that nanoscale effects occur in many places. Some are natural, everyday occurrences; others are the result of cutting-edge research.
- Learn that many materials exhibit startling properties at the nanoscale.
- Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.
- Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.

Green River High school held their graduation on May 23. Principal Nolan Johnson welcomed everyone and outlined the commencement program. Feleisha Antillion, the Salutatorian spoke first. Antillion shared memories of her class with everyone. She said, she has mixed emotions about graduation, happiness, excitement and is sad because she is leaving her second family. Antillion gave the senior class quote "you have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you chose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where to go," by Dr. Seuss from the book Oh, the Places You'll Go. It's up to you. You are your own person, to believe in yourself and never give up. The class of 2013, it is time, we made it as a family and friends. We are off and we will miss everyone. We have all grown so close this year and I don't want to say good bye so I won't. See you later and thank you.
Jamie Johnson, the Valedictorian spoke next, after 14 years of school, we have come to know those who are smart and smart alecks. We have what it takes to be successful. Those who are successful have wonderful things planned for them. They are very smart, work very hard and they are lucky. They make the most of their intelligence and hard work. Johnson shared quotes from Mother Teresa and John Wooden, "Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming." Thomas S. Monson said, "The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it." Be happy with who you are and make the most of who you become. Johnson closed with a quote from Harriet Tubman, "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
Craig Gowans spoke about jobs, earning money and saving. He said, "Money will never buy you lasting happiness in comparison to the happiness that comes from serving others. Any time you give freely of yourself you will be rewarded with happiness. The satisfaction of serving far outweighs the satisfaction of anything else bought with money." C.S. Lewis said, "Nothing you have not given away will ever really be yours." I believe true happiness can only be experienced when you give of yourself and work for the benefit and well-being of others. Your education should, must and needs to continue if you expect to lead a fulfilled life. On May 10, 1994 Nelson Mandella became the first democratically elected president of South Africa he said, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." He changed the world through education. You don't have to change the entire world but you can change yours. You can gain knowledge through experience. Albert Einstein said, "Your only source of knowledge is experience." Consider everyday, every situation and every experience an opportunity to learn. Decide what kind of future you want and work for it. Remember you are part of a community, your life and your choices have social consequences whether good or bad.
Gowans told about Frederick Douglas and his quest for education. You will never be at a disadvantage if you are educated. Gowans closed with a story about a group of chickens who saw an eagle and wished they could fly. The chickens got the attention of the eagle and called him down to the ground. They asked the eagle to teach them to fly. The eagle responded I can't teach you to fly, the potential is there already you must train and believe. The chickens listened to the eagles instructions, watched his demonstration and practiced diligently. After watching all of the chickens hard work the eagle gathered the chickens and told them they could do everything they dreamed of to soar through the sky, reach new horizons, to see and experience the world for themselves. The future is within your grasps now said the eagle now go use your new skills to achieve the potential you worked for so long and hard. The journey is yours. Grateful for the eagles instructions the chickens set off on their dream to reach their grand potential walking away on their own two feet.
Tonight you are going to walk away with a high school diploma. Are you going to walk away or are you going to fly away? Remember you are the person who will decide where to go. All of your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them. No one can make your future for you. You have to do it.
A slide show was presented to all in attendance highlighting each member of the senior class. Nolan Johnson presented the class for graduation. School board member Royd Hatt presented the seniors with their diplomas.
The final speaker was Student body president, Cassi Mecham who said, the senior class of 2013 has finally accomplished what we have been working for the last couple years. "I have mixed feelings about tonight. Tonight is the last chance we have to get together as a class, but we have traveled together as a team. I am so proud of how far we have come. I am so happy we can share this night together. We have so much ahead of us so many opportunities that are now waiting at our finger tips." We are all going our own separate ways so we can finally accomplish our dreams. We are all here tonight even though we leave each other as classmates doesn't mean we leave each other as friends and family.
A reception was held for the students to meet with family and friends.

Observations from the Young Stars Tournament Day Two: Flames slip by Canucks
Kevin McCartney
September 08 2013 11:25AM
The Nations Network sent Kevin McCartney and Brett Martin from Jets Nation to the Young Stars Tournament in Penticton, BC. They're evaluating your team and bringing you the view from the Press Box.
The Flames continue to impress in the tournament, outscoring their opponents 9-3 through two games. Against a disorganized, under-prepared Oilers group, the Calgary kids looked dominant – controlling play, pace, and, of course, the puck for almost the entire contest. To be honest, I wasn't convinced the Calgary squad was as good as they looked given the disarray they played against.
Over at Oilers Nation, I talked about the tactics the Flames used to beat the Oilers in detail, and it's mostly simple, classic offence (which makes sense for a prospect tournament). A layered attack off the wing was effective partly because the Flames (and in particular Monahan) were passing extremely well, and partly because the Oilers were absent from the middle lane and slot. Baertschi and Knight were running a low-to-high play in game one that the Oilers just never figured out, chasing the puck around until Baertschi found space. The Granlund/Ferland/Hanowski line cycled like it was a practice, and pushed the Oiler defenders back by simply beating the Oiler forwards through the neutral zone.
So the real test, I thought, would be Vancouver's star-studded forward group. Against San Jose, Vancouver had played a professional looking game (albeit with a poor defence group). They were well organized and executed with speed. The pace was extremely high in Vancouver's first game, and the physicality was remarkable as well. Indeed, Vancouver did give us a better insight into the Flames prospect group than did the Oilers. And it was still good news for the most part.
The first star of the Flames' second game was clearly Joni Ortio, who made controlled sprawling saves on two instances in which the pro-Canucks crowd was already cheering the coming goal to punctuate an effective positional game. His more impressive skill was his rebound control. He directed the puck away from danger with ease, and was tracking his rebounds better than any goalie in the tournament so far.
That said, the story of the game for me was how the Flames adapted. I talk about this over at Canucks Army today too, so bare with me if some of this sounds familiar.
For starters, the Canucks centres did well to cover the slot where the Flames generated so much of their offence in game one. As well, Vancouver wingers collapsed deep, but stayed in the inside passing lane, negating the layered attack that Monahan and Poirier had used to dismantle Edmonton's defence. In fact, Monahan had a quiet first period in part because he had to adjust to a much more contested offensive zone.
The first rounders did adjust his game to take advantage of soft zones on the half-wall and along the top of the zone, and it could be seen in the Flames first goal early in period two. Monahan came over the boards, collected the puck, crossed through the soft zone along the blue line, fired, collected in the corner and moved up through the soft zone on the side back to the soft zone on the top where he fired again – this time gloved and held by Eriksson. It was a powerplay, mind you, but to my eye was the first moment he figured out the Canucks zone coverage.
In contrast, Sven Baertschi was frustrated on almost every shift. His preference is for a low-to-high pass into the high slot as he floats in just off-centre, and then he toe-drags into a heavy wrister with a disguised release point. The Canucks made passing to that area almost impossible with a defenceman overload that put one defender after the puck, a second defender on the strong side at the goal line, the centre at the low circle, and the strong side winger off the boards parallel to the face-off dot. Corban Knight appeared to struggle with possession as Baertschi didn't adjust to a more traditional cycle game.
The Flames powerplay showed less movement than against the Oilers, and was set in a very classic, learn-it-in-Bantam box+1. That is, two forwards low, parallel, and outside the PK box, two defenders parallel at the blue line and in line vertically with the forwards (a bigger box!), and the third forward in the low slot, just inside the PK box rather than in front of the net. The point is to make the box stand still while PP players move into shooting lanes, or to convince someone to give chase. Regardless of who chases, the middle lane forward always ends up open, forcing the PK to abandon the box or collapse.
On the PK, the Flames are the only team at the tournament not using a 1-3 formation, instead using a 1-1-2 in which the lead forward gives up-ice pressure. It's very clever, given that these powerplay groups are not well practiced. Hanowski caused a number of turnovers for the Flames (especially on Guimond) and provided excellent puck pressure against the power play transition.
Okay – on to the player reviews for game two! For some more thoughts on the special teams systems battle, check out my article at Canucks Army.
#37 Joni Ortio: Ortio stole the show in game two, and put a fine performance by Brossoit on the back burner. 40 shots against, 39 saves including a couple of the variety that make me yell at video games for being 'unrealistic.'
Clearly an athletic goalie and too small to play a probabilistic style. Still, his rebound control was honestly incredible, and at one point in the 3rd he intentionally cleared the Flames zone by directing a hard shot high into the corner glass and down the ice. His play was calm, and he anticipated extremely well against a dynamic Canucks group. Shinkaruk attacks well from below the goal line, and Ortio anticipated. The Canucks PP continuously found attacking lanes, but Ortio was always equal to it. A show stopping game.
#49 John Ramage: Despite an assist in game one, I didn't notice Ramage much. Against Vancouver, however, he was among the Flames best players. As an older player (22) fresh out of college, we can expect a certain level of maturity to his game. His skating is at a plus level for the tournament, and he uses his range to support at both ends of the rink. It was his escapes that impressed me the most, followed by his transition puck movement. On one play in the third, he stood up a Vancouver forward, executed an escape to protect the puck, skated behind the net to trap the forechecker, and made a terrific outlet pass from his off-handed side. His goal was a nice shot, but Eriksson, who completely lost his angle on the shot, probably wants it back.
#56 Tyler Wotherspoon: A player of interest to me coming into the tournament, he's had a quiet two games. He appears to be a low-event player with few mistakes and strong positioning. He rarely challenges the puck carrier at the line, and uses the support of his forwards to close out lanes. Not a guy who appears ready to make a jump to the NHL with adequate skating for this tournament and a lack of power in transition strides.
#67 Ryan Culkin: Culkin played the game with Kanzig in game two and had another solid if unspectacular outing. His feet look a little quicker next to Kanzig than they did next to Ramage, but his skating is only above average at this level. He's a generally aware player, and played a different gap and more conservative style with Kanzig. He continued to play in all three disciplines without looking out of place. He did have a shift in which he pinched into the offensive corner, made a hesitant push on the Canucks player, lost the puck battle, and chased the play back to his zone. In other words, he can over-think some plays and hesitate in their execution. Hard to see why Feaster sees him making the jump so soon, but certainly has out-played his draft pedigree already.
#72 Zach Davies: I thought Davies had an awful game. His offensive blue line play was hesitant at best, and he let Zach Hall scare him out of the zone just by standing at the boards near the blue line during a contested zone exit. On the PK, when the Flames had finally solved the Canucks point shot, he started wandering, which allowed the Canucks to attack from the goal line. Not a strong outlet pass, prone to impatience in zone coverage, and too slow to manage the Canucks transition game.
#73 Keegan Kanzig: This guy is making me a fan. He's much, much smarter than advertised, reading back door plays and anticipating puck movement well. He led the team with a +2 rating. His challenge is his skating. He turns extremely slowly and has limited technical control of his transition skating. His gaps are very large, which he overcomes slightly with his long reach, but is nevertheless problematic at times. He's strong and big, but I've been most impressed by his range. His straight ahead speed is quite good for his size, and he supports the offensive play better than expected. One of the Flames best defenders on the night.
#84 Eric Roy: In contrast to Davies, I thought Roy had a game that distinguished him well. His goal aside, he showed how he got 17 goals the year before last by consistently getting the puck through to the net. He recorded three shots to lead Flames defencemen. His skating is strong in transition, and he was able to control his gap well against the fast Canucks forwards. His in-zone play was patient and controlled at both ends.
#10 Corban Knight: As mentioned above, Knight's game was not as impressive against the Canucks. He struggled with possession and was chasing in the offensive zone often. His passes didn't connect, and he found more success when he gave up trying to find Baertschi and started playing a more grinding game with Elson. As another 22 year old, I actually expected a little more.
#23 Sean Monahan: This kid continued to impress me. Was a bit invisible in the first period, but not ineffective. He still managed the play well, he just didn't have possession often. It looked like he missed Poirier, but by the end of the game, Poirier looked like he missed Monahan. Monahan is a cerebral player who needs to work on his play away from the puck, but at 18 is able to create offense through his anticipation and awareness. It's hard not to feel like he will put together a complete package soon, given how fast he learns out there.
#47 Sven Baertschi: Looked frustrated. Had one great shift at the end of the second period in which he took a dangerous shot, slowed the Vancouver defence down with a delay play on the half-boards, and then ripped a see-eye, cross rink pass tape to tape. Apart from that shift, he looked out matched physically against a tough Vancouver squad, and over-handled the puck whenever he got it.
#57 Emile Poirier: Played with Granlund and Hanowski to form the best Flames line of the first period – a grinding forecheck and explosive net-attack. By the second period, Poirier looked out of sync and confused, getting in Hanowski's way during a 3-man cycle in period 2. In contrast, he managed a successful 2-man cycle often with Monahan in game one. Poirier is at his best as a vertical attacker, and seemed to struggle in the half-court offence. That said, he still attacked the net well and showed the offensive sense and hands that we saw in game one.
#58 Ben Hanowski: One of the Flames best, Hanowski killed penalties extremely well, and used his speed (in spit of an awkward stride) all over the rink to pressure the puck and generate turnovers. Great cycle player. Though not very dangerous on his own, creates a lot of offence for his linemates.
#59 Max Reinhart: Shift one, Reinhart showed a ton of speed. I have no idea when his next shifts were. He recorded three shots and an assist but was largely invisible to me. So perhaps I simply had blinders on for 59. Even if I'm being an unreasonable observer, as a 21 year old with a season of pro experience, I expected he'd stand out more this tournament.
#60 Markus Granlund: Another supremely effective game for the dangerous goal scorer. The Canucks had a hard time containing him, and he used his body to create turnovers and his puck skills to make those turnovers dangerous. His line struggled a bit in the latter half of the game, but he remains prominent (in a positive way) in every shift.
#65 Turner Elson: Another impressive game as the third-wheel on a scoring line. He's very strong in transition and supports the puck well. He's physical and attacks the puck with an angle to win battles rather than punish. He's clearly got hands and offensive smarts, but just hasn't shown much in the way of clean offensive plays yet. Hope to see him in game 3.
#79 Michael Ferland: A powerful vertical attacker and forechecker, Ferland looked better with Granlund in a low cycle game than he did with the more creative Monahan. I caught him floating a few times, waiting for the play to happen. That said, his line created a lot as the game wore on.
#85 Dylan Smoskowitz: A '93 birthday who had a really impressive game with Monahan and Ferland. His powerplay goal was only the result of strong offensive presence throughout the game. The kid isn't even in the program, so he was a surprise to me.
#86 Josh Jooris: One of those players that made me go, 'man, who's 86?!' over and over. Smart, quick, all over the ice. He's the oldest player on the team, though, so we can expect some physical skill development. He's physical and focused, played solid defence both in transition and against the Canucks set-offence. Played a checking role with Reinhart and Penner. Didn't generate much.
#93 Linden Penner: Appeared occasionally with a big hit, but equally with a misread play, including struggling to find his lane on the breakout. He was an early and active collapser in the defensive zone, and it left him scrambling to keep up with the break out. Had a very strong shift with Monahan and Smoskowitz in the second period, driving the play though the neutral zone and creating space for his skilled mates with his speed and size (6'4") as they crossed the blue line. Strong skater for his body, and huge (220lbs) for a '95 birthday. Didn't show too much in the way of scoring sense, but was far from a liability. Pretty good for an invite from the AJHL.
Flames Young Stars Tournament Coverage
September 08 2013, 11:26AM
Just wanted to thank Kevin for the incredible amount of work he's putting into these articles. Also to note that JetsNation is in good hands with him at the helm.
September 08 2013, 11:47AM
Fantastic analysis. It's great to have player breakdowns with game specific context. I've gone to the other Nation sites just to read your analysis (despite it being on garbage like the nucks and coilers haha).
I'm interested to know which lineups have the most teenagers per game (how do 18-19 fare vs 20-22+)?
Calgary seems to have many players who stand out amongst their rivals. When we watched summer dev camp we could see how a Gaudreau stood out (anyone who plays with Monahan shows well...) among the Flame prospects or how Agostino, Jankowski, Gillies, Arnold, Harrison all had great showings. To extrapolate them standing out further against division rivals is logically valid (perhaps true too!). Then you can begin to appreciate the totality of the prospects.
You have all those dev camp standouts (college plus Penticton) plus guys who flashed little at dev camp (Ferland, Poirier, Ramage etc) who stand out here. The tougher competition is internally.
Unleash high hockey IQ guys and see what happens? Heartening to say the least.
Kanzig as a promising player is a nice narrative...errr OBSERVATION.
Again, well done Kevin!
September 08 2013, 12:00PM
Good stuff on Kanzig. As you say he's not merely a goon, which is good. I also agree his biggest challenge is going to be speed, skating and managing gaps as he moves up. In junior, he can overcome many of those issues with size and strength. It get's harder as a pro to do that though.
Do the Flames Keep Monahan around this year? I am glad I am not making the decision... but is sure seems like they want to keep him in the show. I have mixed feelings on this, not sure what to make of it.
September 08 2013, 12:10PM
Fantastic analyses. I'd consider myself lucky if I could notice half this much detail, haha.
I've been watching Ortio for a long time, and that was definitely one of the best games I've seen from him. Easily the best rebound control, but there were one or two other games where his positioning seemed a little more solid. Anyway, the problem with Ortio is similar to the problem with Irving: consistency. With Irving it was largely because he tried to play a technical style in spite of being tiny (for a modern goalie). Leland was never extremely athletic. Ortio is, so that might bode well for him. The good news is it seems Joni's consistency (unlike Irving's) has improved. We'll see if he can sustain it for a whole season (or, better, a career).
September 08 2013, 12:13PM

Agreed on the difficulty mask weaknesses in pro. However, Kanzig gets to improve too. Coaching, repetitions and hard work. Prospects' physical ceilings could be strongly correlated to their minds. Are they committed? There is no stat measuring that.
The good thing with Kanzig is Kevin's appraisal of his ability to read plays defensively (and at least a willingness to try offensively). Which at 18 is very hard. Most guys get better heuristically.
September 08 2013, 12:21PM
@Jeff Lebowski
I didn't say he wasn't going to improve. I said he probably had to (every kid has something he needs to work on). Some guys do, some guys don't. We'll see how his draft+1 season is.
September 08 2013, 12:28PM
Hey Kevin, Really enjoyed reading your individual player analysis. Great work. Thanks for giving us some detailed insight into these Flames prospects.
September 08 2013, 12:35PM
I was going to say something about hoping the Flames switch Davies for Sieloff and Culkin for Kulak for the game tonight. Turns out that's exactly what they're doing.
Other interesting notes: Baertschi is playing with Jooris and Gordon; Monahan - Poirier and Ferland - Granlund are reunited.
This should be fun.
September 08 2013, 12:53PM
I looked at tonight's lineup and for the first time in a long time I genuinely felt real excitement for the future. I can't ever remember a more solid group of Flames prospects. It is also notable that it could even be better if all of the prospects in the system were there.
September 08 2013, 01:40PM
Fantastic article. It's rare for me to read this king of strategic breakdown, and I absolutely love it.
September 08 2013, 01:50PM
Thanks for the in depth review. I would pump Reinhart a bit though as I thought he's been a big factor in both games and had an excellent game 2
Jeff - that's a good point you make about the primary competition being internal - seems like a best case scenario for the org.
The team chemistry and speed/skill is impressive, as is the well rounded variety of skill-sets and ages/sizes. It looks like a well balanced group of prospects with not a lot of holes. There even seems to be some players that demonstrate leadership in the way they carry themselves.
September 08 2013, 04:35PM
This is a great read! Thanks for the detailed breakdown on each player.
Seems we have a nice mix of north-south and east-west players on the farm.
September 08 2013, 05:32PM
Just wondering how Kevin is rating his Jets prospects?

Easily the best rebound control, but there were one or two other games where his positioning seemed a little more solid. Anyway, the problem with Ortio is similar to the problem with Irving: consistency. With Irving it was largely because he tried to play a technical style in spite of being tiny (for a modern goalie). Leland was never extremely athletic. Ortio is, so that might bode well for him. The good news is it seems Joni's consistency (unlike Irving's) has improved. We'll see if he can sustain it for a whole season (or, better, a career).
After watching Ortio crap out 2 years ago in the same tournament, I had mentally written him off. Glad to hear there is still hope for this goalie.

So, will Kanzig become a Hal Gill type or end up as a winger.

So, will Kanzig become a Hal Gill type or end up as a winger.
I'd say Kanzig will *probably* end up more like Matt Pelech.
A big strong guy who's pretty good with the puck, but doesn't really produce much as a pro, and although he doesn't look too out of place he never manages to stick in the NHL.
But the more I see him, the more I have to admit that he has the potential for much more. He's really raised his stock in my eyes during this tournament.

Most people find treatment of adjustment disorder helpful, and they often need only brief treatment. Others may benefit from longer treatment. There are two main types of treatment for adjustment disorder — psychotherapy and medications.
The main treatment for adjustment disorders is psychotherapy, also called counseling or talk therapy. You may attend individual therapy, group therapy or family therapy. Therapy can provide emotional support and help you get back to your normal routine. It can also help you learn why the stressful event affected you so much. As you understand more about this connection, you can learn healthy coping skills to help you deal with other stressful events that may arise.
In some cases, medications may help, too. Medications can help with such symptoms as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications are the medications most often used to treat adjustment disorders. As with therapy, you may need medications only for a few months, but don't stop taking any medication without talking with your doctor first. If stopped suddenly, some medications, such as certain antidepressants, may cause withdrawal symptoms.

Make haste, poky person! Take this quiz to test your knowledge of the speediest stuff in the universe.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
Which animal can move faster than a car on a freeway?
peregrine falcon
While sailfish and cheetahs can hover around 60 mph (98 kph), at least for a few seconds, it's the falcon you can't shake from your tail. The bird of prey can swoop at 200 mph (320 kph).
Question 2 of 20
Which of the following animals takes silver in the amazing speed category?
arctic hare
pronghorn antelope
That would be the slender pronghorn, which can bound over its habitat at 53 mph (85 kph). That said, arctic hares and greyhounds are incredibly swift, and if you pitted, say, a slower pronghorn against a faster greyhound, you could see an upset.
Question 3 of 20
Usain Bolt ran a world record time of 9.58 seconds in what race?
50-yard dash
100-meter sprint
In 2009, Usain Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.58 seconds.
Potato sack race! It's not really running, but he should still be proud.
Question 4 of 20
Scientists were surprised to discover that Usain Bolt is actually less aerodynamic than the average person. Why?
He eats too many potato chips before a race.
He runs with his toes pointing out.
He's a total drag.
Seriously, Bolt's height of 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 meters) causes a lot of air resistance -- or drag.
Question 5 of 20
Let's slow it down. On what planet do we have to wait more than 60,000 days between opening birthday presents?
While it might be good if you dread tax day, Neptune's 60,190-day year is no fun when you're waiting for summer vacation.
No planet in the universe has a year that long.
Question 6 of 20
Planet candidate KOI-1843.03 may have the shortest (unconfirmed) orbit astronomers have come across. How many episodes of "Game of Thrones" can you watch in a year there, assuming an episode length of 55 minutes?
less than half an episode
about 4.5
With an orbit of roughly 4.25 hours, you could get through a little more than 4.5 episodes before ringing in the new year. (And don't even think about how many years it would take George R.R. Martin to finish a book.)
about 16
Question 7 of 20
What is the one and only record set for "fastest toilet"?
14 mph (23 kph)
30 mph (48 kph)
Competition is fierce; more than one quick crapper has been recorded.
Trick question. There have been two records set for fastest toilet. The current fastest, according to Guinness World Records, is a motorized toilet that traveled 55 mph (89 kph).
Question 8 of 20
What's the record for fastest flush?
2.34 seconds
That's made-up nonsense.
Just keeping you on your toes: No record is (yet) held for the honor of fastest toilet flush.
The record is quite controversial and can't be confirmed.
Question 9 of 20
Who or what is faster than a speeding bullet?
only Superman, the fastest superhero ever
Superman and the speed of light
Superman, the speed of light, Silver Surfer and The Flash
Yup, all four can supposedly beat the bullet -- Silver Surfer and the Flash can even run at light speed or faster.
Question 10 of 20
Who would win in a race -- Silver Surfer or The Flash?
Silver Surfer
The Flash
There is no way to answer this ridiculous question without getting pummelled by comic message boards.
We're sticking with C. Let the arguing commence.
Question 11 of 20
The "Home of the World's Worst Weather" boasted what elevated speed record?
fastest wind
Mount Washington, N.H. (self-proclaimed "Home of the World's Worst Weather") held the record for fastest wind (231 mph, 372 kph) until 2010.
fastest snowfall
fastest temperature drop ever recorded
Question 12 of 20
What has the highest wind speeds in the universe?
black holes
Black hole IGR J17091 has winds of 20 million mph (32 million kph).
New Hampshire
that crazy ride at Disney World
Question 13 of 20
What speedy feat left one British woman so surprised that she didn't have time to take off her pants, as is usually customary for the activity?
fastest bath
fastest swimsuit flash mob
fastest birth
Katherine Allen was surprised to discover that her baby was born the moment her water broke -- leaving the healthy infant to slide down the leg of her sweatpants.
Question 14 of 20
Speedrunners spend their time doing what, very quickly?
ferrying drugs
running, duh
playing video games
Speedrunners attempt to finish video games as fast as possible.
Question 15 of 20
What is the fastest mathematically possible game of Super Mario Bros.?
an entire summer, preferably the one between fourth and fifth grade
4 minutes and 57 seconds
It is possible for you to save the princess in only 4 minutes and 57 seconds.
14 minutes and 23 seconds
Question 16 of 20
If you were driving the Hennessey Venom GT, one of the world's fastest production cars, at its top speed, how many feet could you burn a second?
The Hennessey Venom GT reaches 270.49 mph (435.31 kph), or 397 feet per second.
Question 17 of 20
If you're trying to qualify as the Guinness World Records holder for fastest production car, what qualification do you NOT have to meet?
Your car must have headlights.
Your car must be playing "Highway to Hell" on the stereo.
To qualify as a production car, Guinness requires at least 30 cars to be made, and they have to have certain features, but you can ostensibly listen to whatever you want while attempting the record.
More than 30 cars of that type must be produced.
Question 18 of 20
The fastest object in the universe just might be a star cluster that was shot out from a distant galaxy. Should we be concerned that it's going to hit us at a rate of 638 miles (1,026 kilometers) per second?
I don't see why we wouldn't be.
Only if it doesn't burn up in our atmosphere.
probably not
Although none of us want an object coming toward us at 638 miles per second, don't worry too much. The cluster's trajectory is very unlikely for it to come near Earth, and it'll probably end up in a group of galaxies far, far away.
Question 19 of 20
Is the universe expanding faster than the speed of light?
It sure is.
Yes, scientists believe the universe can expand faster than the speed of light.
Nope, it's only as fast as Superman (that is, a bit faster than a speeding bullet).
Question 20 of 20
How rapidly do scientists think the universe went from a subatomic particle to something the size of a marble at the beginning of the big bang?
four days
so fast that no one would have time to take off their pants
less than a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second
As evidence of ripples in the universe has been discovered, scientists think that in less than a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, the universe inflated enormously. B is also kind of right too, though.

Robin is beautiful, but needs to fire her stylist for making her look like Pale Death.
Halle looks amazing.
I actually kind of dig the color of Kerry's dress, but not the cut. It almost looks ill-fitting.ReplyCancel
I guess I'm in the minority because I think Julia looks good. She chose to accentuate her best asset — her legs.
Robin is perfection and Lizzy is a stunner.ReplyCancel
I love Julia Roberts dress and that she went cocktail for the Emmys because in her world the Emmy's is a cocktail party really. . Just drinks dahhling…
Camilla looks miserable agreed.
Kerry Washington looks great for having a baby 8 months ago.
Kerry Washingtons worst red carpet. The fit is not professional. And the expression on her face makes it worse. Did u y'all see the DM pic of her posing with Julianna Hough? She looked pissed, like she thought she was way above having to pose with her. Funny. If ur gonna be a bitch u deserve it.
Halle's dress is pretty.
That's a good shot of Vigara, I didn't think she looked that good on tbe candid shots of her in that dress.
Camille's dress is interesting, and pretty, but not my fav look of hers either. A lot of fails last night.
Dunham was so bad I feel she had to have done it on purpose. Like she thinks she'll never look great so to get people talking she has to go with "bloody awful".
Blossom. WTF?ReplyCancel
Hardly any comments about Halle because she's been consistently looking great for so long that we are now blind to her beauty. Looks great.
Lizzy Caplan and Cat Deeley for Best Dressed.
Love Robin Wright, but sis is looking a little haggard in the face, no? Get yer shit together Jenny! Beautiful woman any other day. Giving me Glen Close or something.ReplyCancel
Sofia: ENOUGH with the strapless mermaid gowns! This is just lazy.
Robin: Ralph Lauren rips off another (better) designer again (in this case, Celine), but I can't deny this is my favourite look of the night.
Camilla: Beautiful women. Horrid dress.
Kaley: A little girl's first party dress.
Julia: Elie Saab *snore*.
Halle: Did you just rip that dress in the car on the way there? Elie Saab, again. Lazy, again.
Kerry: *sigh* I love Miuccia Prada but she (and her team) doesn't know how to design for the red carpet.
Hayden: STOP CUPPING!! You wouldn't cup your breasts on the red carpet, would you? Oh, and the dress is trash.
Mayim: I respect your beliefs regarding modesty, but that doesn't mean you need to wear a doily.
Lizzy: Donna Karan? For why?
OMG! Preggo Hayden. MMMMMMMMMMMM. Fap fap fap fap fap fap. Give her another month and all the foreplay I would need is to get her naked, then push her over and watch her struggle to get up.
P: Penny
M: Vergara
B: Preggo Hayden – I'd let her boxing Frankenstein beat the shit out of me when I was done.ReplyCancel
@Yoj: I'll finish the quote: "Now stop doin that, put your pants back on and help me up!"
Mmmm. Another month or 2 and Hayden isn't going to be able to do doggy. Her belly will be so big and her legs so lil that her knees won't touch the bed.
I just saw her bikini shots.ReplyCancel
Mayim looks like she should be on a pound note, or like someone painted a portrait of the Queen in 1956.ReplyCancel

The right way to manage
Ryan Fancey
May 02 2012 08:37AM
After the hiring of Marc Bergevin as the new general manager in Montreal, and subsequent news that the team could be buying out cap-killer Scott Gomez, the debates over the proper ways to wheel and deal in the NHL are brought to the forefront once again.
The Leafs are always involved in this discussion because 1) We're Leafs fans, and 2) The Leafs have a few cap-killers of their own.
Now, let's set out a few ground rules right away:
- The Habs buying out Scott Gomez is not confirmed
- It's dumb to buy out Scott Gomez
- IF it turns out to be true, things that would make it not as dumb are: the Canadiens believe that with the new CBA they won't be able to bury Gomez in Hamilton next season (g/t to freezingkiwi), or they don't have as much money as we believe they do (g/t to SkinnyPPPhish).
But for now let's just assume it's an idiotic move and rip on the Canadiens by saying they should have hired Pierre McGuire instead.
One of the dumbest arguments in all of this is that the Canadiens won't bury Gomez's contract because they don't want to strike fear into the hearts of potential unrestricted free agents. Essentially the story goes like this: If a team pays big money for an unrestricted free agent and eventually buries him in the AHL due to poor performance and the need for cap relief, no future free agents will sign in that city for fear of the same fate.
The problem with this little narrative is that this NEVER happens.
The Wade Redden fiasco in New York is the prime example of sending a big contract to the AHL to make room under the cap. Sather didn't give a shit about sending him to Connecticut to clear 6.5 million and give the Rangers the flexibility to chase big money players again. But who would ever sign with a team that treats players this way?
Oh, this guy, who the Leafs and Kings both struck out on.
Players don't shy away from big money and big markets because of the chance they could get demoted. And some, like Mike Komisarek, who are smart enough to know they stink at hockey, negotiate no-movement clauses that prevent it.
So how does this relate to the Leafs?
Well for some reason everyone has this idea that Burke does things the right way. Apparently he doesn't burn bridges by offer-sheeting RFAs (basically nobody does, but they definitely should), he doesn't sign long term deals that circumvent the cap, and he doesn't bury big signings in the minors because he doesn't want to scare away free agents.
It should be noted that Burke did bury an inherited contract in Jeff Finger, and then his own signing and buddy Colton Orr too. But he hated doing so, and reiterated the point above about scaring away free agents when demoting Finger.
Don't worry Burkie, these things don't actually happen. The evidence, or lack thereof, tells us so.
"Burke does things the way they should be done. He's a professional."
That's what everyone tells me.
The thing that really bothers me about this whole thing is not so much the fact that Burke won't pull these snaky moves to try to gain an edge on the competition (though that does bother me), it's more so because fans believe that losing is fine as long as Burke and the Leafs are honorable in defeat. Like, a lot of defeat. About 37 times a year in regulation defeat.
Burke will likely pursue Parise or Suter this summer and strike out easily when they sign a long-tail contract with another club. He should pursue Semin as well, but won't. And even if he did, it's likely his "right way" of doing things will put him at a disadvantage again. The question is whether this disadvantage can be countered by the perceived advantage he's gained by not being a schemer so far. Laughable.
I mean, for such an honorable club, the free agents should be knocking down the door to sign in Toronto now right?

The whole not signing UFAs to "cap-circumventing deals" never bothered me because I never felt like we missed out on a player I actually wanted. Kovalchuk? Wasn't going to sign here. Richards? Not worth it IMO. But both Parise and Suter are guys worth the money and who we should try to acquire at all costs. If Burke refuses to match offers given by other teams because of his ethics I would call his judgement into question.
I believe Mr. Burke was hired to be the GM of the Leafs, so in my opinion he should be doing what ever is needed to make his hockey team better. If that means signing players to front loaded contracts so be it. If it means signing RFAs to an offer sheet he should be doing that also, thats what he is being paid to do. The Rangers didn't break any league rules when they signed Richards, they did what they had to do sign a player they thought they needed, seems to have worked for them has it not.
I think a lot of Mr. Burkes bafflegab is just a smoke screen to cover up for his inability to do the job is very well paid to do. His motto seems to be: if I can't dazzle you with my brilliance, I'll baffle you with my BS.

Lowest Price Guarantee
The Easton Stealth 85S hockey stick bag is a lightweight stick bag, great for carrying and protecting your new twigs. The 85S stick bag features the sleek look of the Stealth line with the screaming E logo at the top. The 85S stick bag will hold up to 3 player sticks.
- Durable PVC coated 600D Ripstop nylon
- Holds up to 3 players sticks
- Durable zippers
- Nylon carrying straps
- Screaming E logo along with 85S printed on
- Yellow accent on bottom of heel portion
- Size:62" (top to heel) + 12.5" (blade compartment)
Comments: Good durable bag, and the colors look awesome. It says it holds 3 sticks, but you have to really jam them in there. Knobs of sticks don't allow for all 3 to fit all the way in, and getting 3 sticks in and out is a hassle. If you have long sticks 60"-64", 2 will fit comfortably at the most. Good sleek bag, comfortable 2 stick capacity.

Possible Sox-Yankees series outcomes
Things could get really bad or it could be the start of a turnaround for the Red Sox this weekend. It could come down to people like Bobby Valentine, Terry Francona, or Pedro Ciriaco. Or, of course, it could all come down to the scores of the games. Here's a look at the four best and worst possible outcomes for the Red Sox, and then you can tell us what will happen this weekend. Next
Players vocalize distaste for Valentine

Despite a Yahoo! Sports report detailing a late July meeting between players and Red Sox executives about Bobby Valentine, neither group has publicly said Valentine needs to be replaced. Red Sox CEO Larry Luchhino recently said Valentine would be the Red Sox manager for at least the remainder of this season. Could that change if the players go public, or if there really is a calling for his firing? Next
Francona backstabs Sox

The Red Sox and Yankees return to ESPN's Sunday night baseball broadcast, and that means the return of Terry Francona to the rivalry. Francona, who joined ESPN's team this year, will be listened to closely Sunday night, especially in light of the recent outcries about Bobby Valentine. Next
Lowe dominates his old team

Former Red Sox starter Derek Lowe defeated the Yankees in Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS, clinching one of the most memorable comebacks in baseball history. This weekend, the Red Sox could face Lowe, who the Yankees signed recently after the Indians designated him for assignment. Imagine he intentionally throws at a guy like Dustin Pedroia. Next
Another Boston Massacre

The Globe's Dan Shaughnessy called the Yankees' five-game sweep of the Red Sox at Fenway Park in 2006 the "Son of Massacre," after 1978's "Boston Massacre." The Red Sox are 12 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the AL East and 6 1/2 games out of a wild card spot. Another sweep would all but end the Red Sox' hopes of a postseason berth. Next
A Sox sweep

A sweep of the Yankees would mean a lot to the Red Sox in the standings and in the clubhouse. The Red Sox haven't had a three-game winning streak since ending July with four victories. A sweep would also even the season series at six games apiece with three remaining at each team's home in September and October. Next
Valentine earns team's trust

Sometimes a manager can motivate a team by getting ejected while defending his player. He's done that occasionally this year, but maybe an especially important play could be argued. Or maybe he could hold a team meeting and ask for a fresh start. The seeming distrust between the players and Valentine has been the theme this year. Maybe if that changes, so will the team's play. Next
Ciriaco continues hot hitting

Last month's call-up Pedro Ciriaco has made a huge impact against the Yankees in five games. He's currently 11-for-22 against New York with three doubles and six RBIs. The Red Sox could use more of that production from Ciriaco this weekend and down the stretch. Next
Bailey emerges as lockdown reliever

Andrew Bailey has faced two batters in 2012. At one point last offseason, he was expected to be the team's closer. Instead, the oft-injured Bailey was held off the field again for most of this season. Now he's back, and the Sox would love to see him blossom into the dominant closer he was when he came up with the Athletics a few years ago. Next
 What will be the Red Sox-Yankees series outcome? Back to the beginning

Now that the dust has settled in the south, we thought it was only right to hand out praise to the star players of Super Rugby, Round 16.
Now that the dust has settled in the southern hemisphere, we thought it was only right to hand out praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round 16.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
Super Rugby, Team of Round 16
15 Ben Smith (Highlanders) – Concussed last week against the Force but managed to pass the relevant tests in order to to take on the Blues. Smith is a full-back who rarely has a poor outing. This past round he scored two tries and was a constant running threat. New Zealand's form 15.
14 Willie le Roux (Cheetahs) – One hopes the Springboks give him the decent chance at international level he deserves. Le Roux has been a standout for a couple of seasons now for both the Griquas and Cheetahs and scored a superb solo try. Mention for 'Canes wing Alapati Leiua.
13 Tevita Kuridrani (Brumbies) – Has gone about his business under the radar somewhat this season but has become an important cog in the Brumbies' back-line. Runs hard in midfield outside Christian Lealiifano which creates options for the outside backs. A good prospect.
12 Jan Serfontein (Bulls) – Accelerated into the senior Bok group and seems set to earn his first cap in the coming weeks. Made over 50 metres against the Cheetahs – beating five defenders in all – as his showing seemed to oust Robert Ebersohn for a place in the 34.
11 Peter Betham (Waratahs) – Mentions for Hosea Gear and Waisake Naholo right off the bat but for the selected New Zealander, it was a special effort against his countrymen. Part of Canterbury neighbours Tasman in the ITM Cup, Betham finished his try well.
10 Matt Toomua (Brumbies) – Jake White has a pair of half-backs who seldom have bad days at the office. Toomua, alongside Nic White, has been superb in 2013 and was his usual solid self in defence while kicking smartly from hand and offering a running game.
9 Brendan McKibbin (Waratahs) – Many view the 57th minute as being a major turning point in the game at AMI Stadium. McKibbin was subbed despite playing a blinder, which does beg the question why coaches persist with pre-planned changes when things are peachy.
8 Mose Tuiali'i (Highlanders) – Was hugely influential in his side's success over the Blues. Crossed the advantage line at will, combined well with his backs and was prominent in the build-up to tries for Smith and Hosea Gear. Scott Higginbotham impressed once again.
7 Michael Hooper (Waratahs) – Proved again why he is currently Australia's best openside flanker with a polished display against the Crusaders. Hooper won his personal duel at the breakdown against Crusaders tearaway Matt Todd and was devastating in attack, gaining 80 metres. Edges out Blues forager Luke Braid who did well against the Highlanders.
6 Arno Botha (Bulls) – Went head-to-head with Cheetahs counterpart Lappies Labuschagne and edged that battle. Impressed with ball in hand and also defended well with 11 tackles.
5 James Horwill (Reds) – Was at the forefront of the Reds' comeback against the Rebels in Brisbane. Impressed with his leadership when his side was under the cosh, and took the game to his opponents with fine driving play. Also won a handful of line-outs at Suncorp.
4 Brad Thorn (Highlanders) – Another vintage display from the former All Blacks enforcer. Made his tackles, cleaned out the rucks and also went on a few barnstorming runs. Crusaders enforcer Luke Romano also caught the eye in the win against the 'Tahs.
3 Werner Kruger (Bulls) – Capped a fine performance in the set-pieces by scoring one of the Bulls' tries against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. He comes in ahead of James Slipper who shone in the Reds' win over the Rebels, covering a great deal of ground for a prop.
2 Andrew Hore (Highlanders) – Returned to the starting XV and was definitely back to his best form. Carried strongly, made his tackles and also made a nuisance of himself at the breakdowns. Beats out Stormers rake Tiaan Liebenberg who impressed against the Kings.
1 Jamie Mackintosh (Highlanders) – Did well in a rare start. Although the former skipper has been Tony Woodcock's back-up for most of the campaign, he's given coach Jamie Joseph a nice selection poser after a strong scrummaging display against the Blues.

We also talk about the three different disciplines Program Management, Development, and Test/QA and how the checks and balances between the disciplines helps with getting things out on schedule and at great quality.

The incarceration rate in Massachusetts has nearly trippled since the 1980's, even as the state's crime rate has gone down. According to a new report by MassINC, that's because Massachusetts is holding on to an inefficient and expensive corrections system.
Over the past few years, states with reputations for being "tough-on-crime," like Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas have trimmed their corrections budgets by reducing minimum sentences and developing treatment programs to help offenders re-enter society. That's according to Benjamin Forman, who wrote the report. Meanwhile, he says Massachusetts hasn't revisited its approach to sentencing since the mid-nineties. Forman says many non-violent offenders end up serving long sentences in high security prisons, which have replaced many of the state's minimum security facilities.
"And that's a real problem. People that have been in very high security settings and then have complete freedom are most likely to fail and find themselves back in prison. And when someone has a substance abuse issue, one of the worst things you can do is put them in prison."
Forman says sixty percent of offenders released from state and county prison commit a new crime within six years. He says to reduce these odds, Massachusetts needs to develop re-entry training programs and a system for tracking ex-offenders.
"We want to make sure that we have actually good data based on evaluations that are evidence based about who is most likely to re-offend so we can now start to target our resources to those people to reduce the likelihood that they will commit a new crime."
Forman says curbing the number of repeat offenders by five-percent could save the state up to 150-million dollars annually. He says until the state develops a new corrections model he recommends placing a moratorium on the expansion of all state and county prisons.
