Injuries are a huge part of winning and losing each year in fantasy leagues. Staying abreast of the injury situations is key as knowing what to expect from your players health-wise in the short term can help you make educated decisions in managing your team.
Let's get right to the injuries from Week 1.
WR Roddy White, Falcons
White has a high ankle sprain, and the injury originally occurred in the second preseason game on August 15. Though White did not worsen the injury this week, it is worth noting, given his stature in fantasy football and how it has impacted his play. White had just two catches for 19 yards against the Saints, below his usual level of production.
High ankle sprains can be tricky. These injuries can linger and range of recovery is typically two-to-eight weeks for high ankle sprains that are conservatively managed (no surgery). After the game, White admitted this injury might linger for a few more weeks. Given White was injured three weeks ago, expectations for him may need to be tempered until he shows signs of improvement on the field. Julio Jones gets a bump if that's even possible, and Harry Douglas, who had four receptions and 93 yards, could deserve a look in deeper leagues.
MORE: High ankle sprains
RB Jamaal Charles, Chiefs
Charles gave his owners another scare, sustaining a quadriceps injury. He was able to walk off the field, but with a limp. After the game, coach Andy Reid described Charles as "totally fine." Charles did return to the game for two carries before leaving for good, as the Chiefs were far ahead of the Jaguars.
Charles was spotted using an exercise bike on the sidelines, which is good news. Quadriceps contusions (bruise in the muscle) or strains (tears in the muscle or tendon) can take a few weeks to rehabilitate, two weeks for mild contusions or five-to-eight weeks for more severe strains. The mechanism of the injury looked more like a contusion.
This will definitely be important situation to monitor and we'll see how reports filter out this week. Based on Reid's postgame comments, I feel better about Charles, but let's see if he can practice this week. Still, if you haven't picked up Knile Davis yet, that is advised.
WR Danny Amendola, Patriots
Amendola left the game against Buffalo with an aggravation of his previously injured groin. He was able to return and finished with a nice stat line including 10 receptions for 104 yards.
Groin injuries can be unpredictable and can flare up if a player returns too fast. Acute groin injuries can take four-to-eight weeks to heal, but if it becomes a chronic injury, more like six months. Right now, it seems Amendola tweaked his groin a bit, but the Patriots will have to be careful with it. Hopefully it's just an aggravation of the prior injury and Amendola can play with it. He did return and play through it, so that is encouraging.
Julian Edelman is worth a look anyway based on his stat line (seven receptions, 79 yards and two touchdowns), but any Amendola injury would bump up his value. Edelman's injury history makes him hard to rely on long-term, but even a few games with Tom Brady make him worth rostering.
RB La'Rod Stephens-Howling and C Maurkice Pouncey, Steelers
Stephens-Howling ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and his season is done. More importantly, Pouncey ruptured his ACL and medial collateral ligament, and is gone for the year. Pouncey, a three-time Pro Bowl center, is a big loss for the Steelers. Last year, the Steelers finished 26th in rushing and losing Pouncey won't help. Le'Veon Bell owners have more tough news to soak up.
TE Dwayne Allen, Colts
Allen was injured on a play in the third quarter when he jumped up for a tipped pass and landed awkwardly on his right leg. He immediately grabbed his right hip, as if in pain. Allen is scheduled for an MRI. I wonder if a muscle or tendon strain could be an issue, such as a groin, hip flexor or hamstring injury. We will need to wait for updates from the Colts to be sure. Allen said he was "fine" after the game, so hopefully that will be the case.
RB Shane Vereen, Patriots
Vereen sustained a dislocation/fracture in his wrist. The wrist has a complicated anatomy made up of carpal bones - these are tiny bones that interlock, held together by ligaments. Surgery may be done to help improve union of the fracture and facilitate return to play.
Outcomes depend on which bone is fractured or dislocated. Scaphoid bone fractures (68%) may take eight-to-twelve weeks or longer, whereas Triquetral bone fractures (18%) can take as little as three-to-six weeks. Lunate dislocations/fractures (4%) can compress the median nerve, resulting in tingling in the hand/fingers. Vereen did have "numbness," suggesting a nerve was being compressed by the injured bone. Lunate fractures are typically repaired with surgery, and recovery is 8-12 weeks or longer.
Initial estimates have been reported as two or three games, or "a few weeks," and that sounds a bit uncertain. Bottom line, that sounds like the best case scenario; it could easily be longer. The Patriots historically have not provided much detail on injuries, so Vereen owners may need to wait it out. His dynasty value also depends on the site of fracture and whether union of bone is achieved after surgery. Lunate fractures can be associated with arthritis and grip weakness as complications after surgery, so we need to see how this plays out over the coming weeks.
WR Dez Bryant, Cowboys
Bryant sustained a foot injury Sunday night against the Giants and various reports have been a sprained ankle, mid-foot sprain or even the dreaded Lisfranc sprain. An MRI is planned. Cross your fingers. He was able to return to game action and is not in a walking boot, so that is encouraging.
TE Zach Sudfeld, Patriots
Sudfeld pulled a hamstring, and his owners felt the pain with a goose egg in the scoring column. The ability to return to play depends on the grade of injury and can be hard to predict. Rehabilitation can take 2-t0-6 weeks, but sometimes longer (three or more months). Re-injury is 12 to 30%, so it is best to be cautious with hamstring strains and return to play only when the injury has completely healed. Sudfeld is not likely going to help fantasy football owners much for awhile, and his value in 2013 is in question. He is still worth rostering in dynasty based on his preseason performance and potential opportunity in this offense.
MORE: Hamstring injuries can be tricky
QB Tony Romo, Cowboys
Romo took a hard shot to his ribs and initial fears were rib fractures. However, x-rays post-game were negative, so that's reassuring. His dynasty and 2013 value is unchanged since it looks like he will be out there next week.

This winery wanted a name that suggested that their wines are blended from many sources.

About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.

Ronda Hickam
Ronda Hickam has been named the Honored Citizen of the Ferron Peach Days celebration. She has lived in Ferron since 1977. She has family from Orangeville, but she was born in Southern California and grew up in Santa Monica.
Hickam is proud to belong to the Daughters of the Utah pioneers and is active in the Ferron DUP chapter. Hickam's late husband was in World War II and she is active in the American Legion Auxiliary.
Hickam said, "I have liked being involved in city government and attending council meetings. I remarried in 2002 after my first husband passed away. I have driven the ambulance in Ferron and was on the fire department for seven and a half years. I have been involved with the Peach Days parade as an organizer and an announcer for 23 years. I have loved it. I love being busy. I love working with people. Over the years I have been involved in fund raisers and helping with the Peach Days dinner each year. I have been disabled for 30 years. I had back surgery years ago and I had another back surgery again in June. Since then I haven't been getting around much. I had one child that passed away and I helped raise four stepchildren. My husband has a daughter in North Carolina, one in West Valley and a son in Duchesne County.
"The Ferron people are my family. When I first came to Ferron, I wasn't a member of the LDS church, but I was baptized about four years later. I sold Avon for many years. I met a lot of people doing that.
"When the word gets out in Ferron that someone is ill, then everyone jumps in and helps out. Ferron is the best place to live. When I first moved here we lived in Price before moving over to Ferron. I thought this place was really remote, but I adjusted. Everyone is wonderful. My husband and I spent a week in St. George and we liked it there, it's warmer and easier for us to breathe, but when I came home I thought, 'I just couldn't live anywhere else.'
"Peach Days has been like a baby to me and I've loved seeing the celebration be successful.
"My first husband was Bill Cozad and we were married 23 years. He worked at the power plant. We worked in campgrounds as camp hosts and traveled around for seven years before he died. Bill used to deliver my Avon when I was sick. My son went to school here, but then he went back to California.
"My second husband is Jerry Hickam. He was a widower and I was a widow when we got married in 2002. Jerry is very supportive of everything I do.
"Bill wanted to ride in the Peach Days parade one year and so we borrowed a horse and he was in the parade. That was a dream of his.
"Jo and Lou Sansevero will announce the parade this year, so I can ride on a float. They will do a good job. I have helped with the Castle Valley Pageant too, with the DUP activities. Jerry and I served a 16 month mission where we answered phones and emails and helped out with family history.
"I really don't feel like I've done enough to be an honored citizen," said Hickam.
Ronda Hickam will ride in the parade along with the grand marshals Philip Nelson and Martha Coley.
Martha Coley
Martha Coley has lived in Ferron for 36 years. When she first moved to Ferron, she and her husband owned a peach orchard. It was successful and produced many, many bushels of enormous, sweet peaches. After a move to Las Vegas and the loss of her husband she returned to Ferron and purchased her current home. She has lived in her home on "Coley Corner" (affectionately named by her grandkids) for 34 years.
She was born in 1921 on a ranch near Ely, Nev. She is the baby in her family of 10 siblings. She learned at an early age to have courage, work hard and to serve others. She has spent the rest of her life doing just that. She and her late husband, Donald, lived in Las Vegas for years and Martha worked at the Tropicana Hotel for many years sewing elaborate costumes and dressing the show girls for their nightly performances. She and Donald had three children, Donnie, Jacklyn, and Michael. Donnie was born prematurely and was not expected to live. The doctors obviously didn't know who they were up against, because Martha has taken care of Donnie for 73 years and has given him a wonderful life despite his disabilities.
Martha has been a member of the American Legion Auxiliary for 36 years and until her recent bout of breast cancer had not missed a meeting in all those years. Martha has distributed poppies, been in the color guard at parades, participated in funeral ceremonies and baked many cookies for bake sells and to send in care packages for soldiers. She is most known for her perfect angel food cakes. She has made countless hamburgers over the years for Peach Days. It was because of her dedicated service in this auxiliary and in taking care of Donnie that she was named "Woman of the Year" in the state of Utah for 2007. She is also a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
Martha never complains in adversity and always has cheerful and encouraging words to share with others. Because of her great example, Ferron City is honored to name her as a Grand Marshal to Peach Days.
> Philip C. Nelson
A life-long resident of Ferron, Philip Clair Nelson was born Feb. 24, 1924 in Ferron, Utah, the eighth of 10 children born to Guy and Eunice Madsen Nelson. His childhood was filled with wonderful years where he formed many special relationships with school and neighborhood peers. Although of Danish ancestry, he was affectionately refered to as Swede by family and friends, a nickname that even followed him to his days in the armed services. In high school, Philip excelled in all sports and was especially well known for his accomplishments in track and field on the state level. He also served as studentbody president.
After high school, he honorably served his country during World War II as a member of the Seabees branch of the United States Armed Services. During this time, he was a D8 Cat operator, where he was instrumental in the construction of several air fields in the Pacific Theater. He participated in three major invasions during the Pacific Campaign. He has remained faithful to the military by participating with other local veterans in local celebrations and military rites at funerals. After the war ended he returned to Ferron and married Doris Jean Nelson and attended Brigham Young University. At BYU he was a star hurdler on the track team, culminating in winning the Skyline Conference High Hurdle Championship.
After college Philip returnded to Ferron where he began a 35 year teaching a coaching career at South Emery High School and later at San Rafael Junior High School. He was an outstanding teacher and coach and is fondly remembered by many of his former students and athletes. He is invited on a regular basis to attend class reunions of former students.
Philip has enjoyed farming and is especially pleased to have raised many fine Arabian horses. As an avid BYU fan, he has loyally supported BYU athletics and has traveled extensively both in and out of state to follow the Cougars. He also has a great love and appreciation for the local high school and junior high school sports programs.
Philip served as bishop in the LDS church, and he and his wife, Doris, immensely enjoyed their callings as ordinance workers in the Manti LDS Temple.
Philip and the late Doris Jean are the parents of three sons, Dean (LaRita), Ferron; Scott, Hesperia, Calif.; Ted (Debbi), San Pedro, Calif. They have 14 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. Philip dearly loves Ferron and Emery County and the wonderful people who live here.
"As a life long resident of Ferron, Philip has been a great example to many and a friend to all. Because of this, Ferron City is honored to name him as a Grand Marshal to Peach Days."

Ambulatory Care - Community Medicine
PREREQUISITE: Requires completion of all third year clerkships.
Suzanne El-Sayegh, M.D., is Director of Ambulatory Care Medicine
The division of Ambulatory Care is dedicated to the constant improvement of the residents' outpatient training, and works closely within the Department of Medicine to continually build on the ambulatory experience.
The resident's ambulatory experience occurs primarily in University Hospital's Medical Arts Pavilion, (MAP) and the teaching faculty's practice locations in the Staten Island Community. The MAP, a 55,000 square-foot technologically advanced facility housing a broad array of primary and subspecialty clinics with convenient on-site laboratory and radiology services, serves as an ideal site for the training of residents. Additional training sites include the private offices of many of our teaching faculty, where the intricacies of the private practice of medicine are taught. A faculty of over 50 full-time and part-time General Internists compose the primary care teaching staff and are dedicated to the ambulatory training of residents. As a New York State designated Primary Care Program, categorical residents will spend over 40-45% of their residency in our outpatient settings.
Patients recognize both their assigned resident and the teaching faculty as their primary care physicians. In the event of the resident's absence, the assigned faculty and another resident within the group practice will maintain continuity. A 24-hour patient answering service enables our medical residents to gain experience in telephone consultation, render total continuity of care, and reduce emergency visits and acute hospital admissions. When a patient does require hospitalization, the patient is admitted to the service of the Medical Faculty Practice. Residents are notified of the admission and are encouraged to follow that patient's progress through their acute illness. Upon discharge, the patient is given a follow-up appointment to his/her usual continuity clinic and assigned resident.
In addition to the resident's continuity experience, all medical residents, (preliminary and categorical) will rotate 1-2 months per year in the Primary Care Block Rotation. During these rotations, residents will expand their existing panel of patients by attending extra medical sessions. In addition, residents will be assigned to a variety of subspecialty clinics to provide exposure to ENT, Adolescent Medicine (including school-based health sessions), Medical Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Sports and Rehabilitation Medicine, Behavioral Medicine, Dermatology, Geriatrics, Allergy and Immunology, Pulmonary Medicine, Cardiology, Rheumatology, Neurology, and Nephrology. This progressive coordinated rotation also includes a daily morning conference covering topics in Ambulatory Medicine, as well as several new projects including Resident Community Involvement and the Practice Based Learning Experience (PBLE). The Community Involvement Exercises will send residents into the community during their Primary Care Block Rotation to provide a wide range of educational and preventive services. The PBLE will actively educate medical residents in topics in Healthcare Quality, and will also entail a reflective analysis of the care they had been rendering in their continuity clinics via a series of detailed chart reviews.
Medical Residents on Subspecialty Electives will also gain ambulatory experience by attending the corresponding subspecialty clinics once or twice per week. Ambulatory subspecialty clinic exposure during electives will allow residents to simultaneously experience both inpatient and outpatient aspects of the practice of an individual subspecialty, and therefore aid in the formulation of their career choices.
At the conclusion of three years, the resident will have rotated in a complementary fashion through all of these diverse experiences, and will be better prepared to serve their community regardless of their individual career paths.

Workout (1) Hit a body group each day and rest the weekends. If I do this, I kill those groups with 3 or 4 sets of all out punishment, minimum.
Workout (2) Chest, Shoulders Tris on Mon & Thurs, Back, Bi's Legs on Tues & Friday. Wednesday I do cardio and abs with abs mixed in each day after my workout.
Remember, you can't grow without enough protein.

But that's just me.
Posted 16 May 2005 - 03:55 PM
If you want any bulk, forget that eat meat twice a week thing. If you do that, you'll end up being a 68 pound adult too.
Posted 16 May 2005 - 04:37 PM
atkins will make you skinny in your casket...
the bis/tris workout is very effective because you work antagonistic muscles... with any workout, you shoul dnot do it mor ethan a month or two... some you may not want to do for more than a week... the problem with bis/tris is if you do too much of that some of the workouts use each other, especially if you slack on your form... so have perfect form if you can... and work opposite muscle groups like chest/back or bis/tris but only sparingly... it is a very effective way...
supersets are also very good to push your muscles, this means you do supplemental exercises like bench then lat pulldowns with no rest in between... then you take about one set worth of rest and keep going with it... always let your muscles rest or they cant grow... ideally you should eat before and after a workout (something as small as raisins... kill free radicals which develop cancer and impede the muscle building process)
i have way too much to say on this, so i am gonna have to slow down and get more specific... ill get back to you guys in a few
the best weight room exercise you can do that sooo many people do not is the squat... it increases testosterone level which helps build muscle along with many other positive effects
the best exercise for you body in general is swimming because it puts almost no stress on your joints and you get a great workout... but you dont feel like you sweat... its weird but the best exercise for anyones body
then there is activity specific workouts which i will try to get into later... but you know what that means

as far as dressing, it is a dangerous thing, because people assume salad is healthy but a mcdonalds salad with dressing cna be worse for you than a big mac... also dont worry about dieting because if you eat right 90 percent of the time you can afford to splurge the other 10...
back to dressings, try to use oil and vinegar (extra virgin olive oil is the best) or lemon is excellent, there are many recipes for making healthy dressings without fat... blue cheese and ranch are two of the worst for you and anything alfredo is ludicrously fattening... dont eat it!
tis all for now, my booty call has called
Posted 16 May 2005 - 09:05 PM
and about squatting...i love squatting. i play football and that is the most important exercise by far in football. up to 5 x 5 of 265 of box squats , with my 6'2" long ass legs...
Posted 17 May 2005 - 08:24 AM
plus if you keep doing the same routine you will eventually hit a plateau, so to break out of that and/or avoid it altogether switch it up... use that height man, like i have said in other threads, i wish i had that, dont take it for granted...
as far as the box squat it is a good way to get your form right, but i would also make sure you work deep squats to get a full range of motion in your joints and help avoid injury... also power cleans are a great way to work on explosion, if your team doesnt do those already they should look into that and the bigger, faster, stronger system (which is where box squats and the dot drill were introduced to me)...
good luck and play hard

Hear is my routine: Day 1: Chest , Day 2: Back, Day 3: off, Day 4: Shoulders and Traps, Day 5: Arms both bicep and triceps Day 6: Legs Day 7: off.
And not for the kids out there, but for the adults, I know it is illegal now but 1-AD I took a 4 week cycle, I gained 15 lbs from it, and only 5 lbs water weight, so that is 10 lbs of solid muscle in a month. I was pretty satisfied with it. And the only side effect that I had with it was after I was done taking it my sex drive was practically gone, like I didn't even think about sex, but after 2 weeks I was back to normal.

The Parks Division, Urban Forestry Unit of the Parks Recreation & Waterfront Department has responsibility for maintaining all public trees in the City - the majority of the trees located along City streets. The goal of the pruning is to make the public trees as safe and healthy as possible and to minimize any conflicts with pedestrian and vehicle traffic, traffic control devices and signs and buildings.
All pruning is performed according to the 'Tree Pruning Guidelines' developed by the International Society of Arboriculture and the 'Tree Maintenance and Safety Standards' (ANSI Z133.1 & ANSI A300) developed by the American National Standards Institute. These standards are the accepted standards of the tree care industry.
During the pruning operation, City staff attempts to achieve a minimum crown clearance of fourteen feet (14') over streets and eight feet (8') over sidewalks. All dead, dying, diseased and hazardous branches are also removed along with any vines that may be growing into the tree. All branches are pruned back from buildings, away from streetlights and are cleared from utility lines that run from utility poles to a house.
During the pruning operation, trees are also checked for any structural problems. All structural problems will either be corrected, or if beyond repair, the tree will be evaluated for possible removal.
All newly planted street trees are given additional pruning during the first two years after planting. This pruning is to ensure the young tree develops with a strong branch structure. During the first two years the tree stake will also be removed and the area around the tree re-mulched with wood chips.
Any person having questions concerning the pruning of the street trees may call the Parks Division Field Office, Forestry Unit at (510) 981-6660 or send an e-mail to email@example.com

Located on historic Route 66, this was originally a pharmacy built in the 1880's. The soda fountain was added to the business in the 1950's. Stop in for an old-fashioned treat or ice-cream. Doc's is also open for lunch and dinner.
Built in 1927, Old Chain of Rocks was the fifth bridge to cross the Mississippi River, which shortened the distance between St. Louis, Missouri, and Edwardsville, Illinois by 15 miles.
This quirky must-see Route 66 attraction, information center and souvenir gift shop is home to rabbits of all kinds, bunny and VW, as well as Mother Road memorabilia.
The Pink Elephant Antique Mall has many hidden gems. Open daily 9:30 am - 5:30 pm.
Weezy's Route 66 Bar and Grill
The restaurant is known for charbroiled burgers, homemade pies and hearty breakfasts, particularly biscuits and gravy made with fresh sausage from locally produced hogs. The decor follows a diner theme with a black-and-white checkered floor and red vinyl seat cushions on chrome booths, tables and chairs. Walls are lined with vintage signs, photos of old vehicles and other Route 66 memorabilia and even has an outdoor patio.
The Ariston Cafe was founded by Pete Adam, a Greek immigrant, in Carlinville, Illinois in 1924. The original cafe was located on Route 4, the predecessor of Historic Route 66. In 1929, the Cafe was relocated to Litchfield, Illinois and moved into its present location on Route 66 in 1935. Since 1966, Pete's son Nick and wife, Deme, continue to offer the traditional service expected of a family-owned and operated restaurant. The cafe is believed to be one of the oldest restaurants on Route 66 and has been inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame and is placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
The Livingston-Staunton Muffler Man, in his spiffy orange "Harley-Davidson" shirt, is located outside the Pink Elephant antique mall.

Show Us How You've Prepared (and Over-Prepared) for Frankenstorm
Last Friday, we told you everything you needed to know in order to defeat Frankenstorm. Now, with the surge mere hours away, we want to see how dearly you value your life and also how you decorate your apartment.
Because my boyfriend is the only person I know who possesses an impressive array of both knives and Eagle Scout skills, I have wedged myself into his lifeboat. The above pictures were taken in his apartment, where he and I have been preparing all (all) weekend. The bulk of that preparation consisted of putting water into anything that could conceivably hold water: bottles, jugs, glasses, beer growlers, random large storage containers, the blender, the bathtub, ziplock bags (meant to become ice but didn't exactly freeze — no big deal, just more water), etc.
Here's his "last minute" preparations list, written Saturday night after I'd already gone to bed. His final words to me that night: "We're not half done." (He asked that I obscure his dog's name to protect innocent dogs.)
We also packed a Go Bag, including passports.
Please share images of your own Preparation: H(urricane) below.

Nine Mile Run Watershed Association (NMRWA) has received a $50,000 grant from Aquarius Spring, a Coca-Cola brand that is providing grants to community watershed organizations in 10 national markets.
This grant will aid in NMRWA's goal of restoring and protecting the Nine Mile Run Watershed through demonstration projects, advocacy and citizen engagement, including community clean-up events and the Rain Barrel Initiative, which is now about halfway to its goal of placing 4,000 rain barrels at homes around the watershed by the end of 2010.
The 6.5-square-mile watershed underwent a $7.7 million ecosystem restoration in 2006. It spans Edgewood and Wilkinsburg, portions of Swissvale and some areas in Pittsburgh, including parts of Point Breeze, Squirrel Hill and all of Frick Park, where NMRWA is holding events this week in partnership with Aquarius Spring.
On Saturday, volunteers did a "stream sweep" in Lower Frick Park, clearing away debris that's washed into the watershed as a result of recent storms.
"What people don't realize is that when you see litter in the stream, it's not necessarily because people are littering in the park," says Executive Director Brenda Smith. "Anything that's on the street anywhere near the watershed in heavy rain is going to be washed into the sewer and then directly into Nine Mile Run."
This Wednesday, NMRWA has organized a "restoration day" at Falls Ravine in Frick Park. Volunteers will be clearing sediment buildup that interferes with the natural draining process, and will be reinforcing the stream bank.
The Aquarius Spring grant is also going toward monitoring and building the Regent Square Gateway, an entrance to Frick Park that will clean stormwater and educate people about the watershed as well as stormwater problems in the region.

Does Nikolai Khabibulin's Hot Start Mean He'll Be Good All Season?
Jonathan Willis
October 26 2011 04:17PM
Nikolai Khabibulin has had a superb start to the 2011-12 NHL season. After a year where he imploded badly, allowing Devan Dubnyk to steal the starting job later in the season, he appears to be back at the height of his powers.
Prior to the veteran goaltender stopping 35 of 37 shots against the powerhouse Vancouver Canucks, Oilersnation's own Robin Brownlee took the time to praise Khabibulin's performance:
Those who scoff Nikolai Khabibulin's .969 saves-percentage through his first four games isn't sustainable are selling him short. Of course it isn't sustainable. So what? While I count myself among those who doubted Khabibulin could rebound from a 2010-11 campaign in which he had a pitiful .890 saves percentage, he has so far SIUTBOHC. He has been outstanding with the minutes he's been given and deserves credit. Will it last? Not like this. Again, so what? If he comes in at something around .910 when this season is in the books, that would represent a pretty decent comeback season, no?
Brownlee is correct on a couple of things here. Khabibulin has been outstanding, and he does deserve credit for his hot start. And, if he can finish the year around the 0.910 SV% mark, it would represent a pretty phenomenal comeback – on par with some of the greatest goaltending comebacks in the last two decades.
When I read that, I started wondering something: how common is it for a bad goalie (i.e. a gaolie who finishes the year with a sub-0.900 SV%) to have a five-game stretch like Khabibulin is having right now? In short, can we be confident that Khabibulin is going to have a strong year because of this phenomenal start?
Here are 10 of the league's worst goaltenders from last season. I've taken their best 4+ game stretches from the year, and calculated the save percentage over that span, placing it alongside their save percentage over the season as a whole:
|Short SV%
|Overall SV%
|Mike Smith
|7 games
|Dan Ellis
|4 games
|Marty Turco
|4 games
|Curtis McElhinney
|4 games
|Antero Niittymaki
|7 games
|Peter Budaj
|5 games
|Brian Elliott
|5 games
|Jonas Gustavsson
|4 games
|Nikolai Khabibulin
|4 games
|Rick DiPietro
|4 games
It goes without saying that good goalies can put together a solid streak of play, but it's interesting to note how many bad goaltenders are capable of doing the same thing. It makes sense; players don't keep getting games if they get shelled every time the coach sends them out.
It also makes sense when we recall that Brian Boucher set the modern era record for consecutive shutouts in 2003-04 as part of a larger streak. Those five shutouts in a row are what tend to get remembered, but Boucher was good for almost three months straight. From November 14, 2003 to January 24, 2004, Boucher played 17 games, collecting just two losses over that span and putting up a 0.948 SV%. He went 2-17-4 in games outside that stretch, and finished the year with an overall save percentage of 0.906.
Because virtually any NHL goalie is capable of putting together a strong stretch of games, the fear with Khabibulin isn't that he regresses – we know that he will and that it's just a matter of time. The fear is that this torrid start isn't the kick-off of a strong season, but rather a momentary blip before poor play sets in.
It would be great to see Khabibulin come back around the 0.910 SV% mark; that kind of performance over a full season would be a huge boon to both the player and the team. Unfortunately, it's still too early to pencil him in for that kind of record, given what his post-lockout numbers look like.
Let's be honest here. Nobody except Khabby thought he would start this strong. Hell, even his coach didn't put him in opening night. The smart money says outside of Quick and maybe Lehtonen none of the goalies in the top 10 today in GAA or save % are likely to be on that list in April. The point is, just like Nugent-Hopkins it's a good early season story and rather than snearing at it we should appreciate the effort and enjoy it while we can.
October 27 2011, 11:20AM
Khabby looked lights out in the first game last season vs. Flamers. I blame the coaching staff for continually over-working the guy. Since he went to Chicago, he's played best when he's splitting time evenly with a co-number one keeper.
Once they start running him out for 3 of 4 games, he'll either get hurt, or his game will drop off. Figure it out, coaches.
On that note, any idea who goes tonight? I'm guess Dub. but Renney seems to make a few counterintuitive moves.

Twitter feed is telling me Khabby today and Dun tomorrow
October 27 2011, 12:25PM
@Matt Henderson
Thanks for the tip. I gather they went that way because they figure Caps deserve our hot Goalie. Otherwise, I imagine they'd reverse the order and give Khabbie another day's rest.
October 27 2011, 01:01PM
"Could it be that the sub .900 save% was the anomoly?"
-Khabi's Save % last 6 seasons: 0.886 0.902 0.909 0.919 0.909 0.890
"Better yet, could it be that save % is a bad measure of the quality of a goaltender particularly on a bad team?" -Should we throw out Dubnyk's .916 from last year?
"The Jordan Eberle #7 ranking is also inexcusable." -And frickin Pilick 8th! What gives!
October 27 2011, 02:43PM
Let's just enjoy it for what it is before we get all down on Khabby. Goaltenders are up and down but mentally he is in a better place than he was a year ago. We will not get to the playoffs on the back of one goaltender. That's where Dubnyk comes into play. If Khabby can give us 40 to 50 solid games this season, then we have a chance.
October 27 2011, 03:52PM
OB1 and Tiger:
Khabi has ability, perhaps he's just feeling healthier than he has over the last few years. Like how you are more energetic and stronger after a really good sleep.
No, that isn't the kind of difference I'm talking about. I don't even necessarily mean he looks better, just different. As a rule the way people move doesn't change based on something like that...they may seem to have more spring in their step, but their step looks the same.
This isn't something I pointed out to explain his good start, it's just something that seems odd. The two things may be unrelated.

rukia can't die. i support renji x rukia
from the looks of the last page, grimmjow probably gained some clawing powers?
or maybe he's dying and now this is his dying "flashback scene"
Lol, those pics were totally a flashback. That panther (Jaguar, probably, being as his surname sounds like jaguar...) form is his original hollow body, and Shawlong Qufang is there to "recruit" him. So maybe Grimmjow'll be dead in one or two chapters? xD
omg if thats the case bleach is dragging again? WTF? i really thinking that they are trying to drag the manga. so can have more chapts. more chapts=more vol. means more money(i think). my thoughts nia nt fact plz take note.
Why do you guys think they're dragging out this fight? The majority of the major Bleach fights have lasted around five chapters.
This is a FIGHT scene, hence the fact that they are FIGHTING. It wouldn't be much of a fight scene if they sat there and talked.
Now, if you guys were saying that your sick of Ichigo fighting Grimmjow in general (since this is their 3rd fight) I'd understand. But you guys are talking about this as though its been the longest fight in history, which it hasn't.
Some Fights:
Zaraki VS Ichigo - About 5 or 6 chapters
Zaraki VS Tosen and Komamura - about 4 or 5 chapters
Ishida VS Mayuri - About 5 chapters
Ichigo VS Dordonie - About 4 chapter
Ishida VS Cirucci - About 4 chapters
Rukia VS Aaroniero - About 4 chapters
Renji and Ishida VS Szayel - About 5 chapters
So to ME, the idea that you guys are complaining that this fight is taking too long because its been 5 chapters is completely ridiculous. And to say that they are making it this long for the sake of money is also ridiculous. Comics follow a script that has already been written out. Tite Kubo doesn't just sit down and draw random stuff in hopes of getting money.

Umbro and John Smedley hit the track together for an athletic summer by Aaron› 20 Jul 2012
Today Umbro specialises in tailoring the finest football gear, but over our 88 year history we've crafted clothing for many different sports, including a stint at the forefront of British athletics. A recent raid of our archives unearthed a fantastic vintage Umbro running vest and track sweater worn by British athletes in 1948, which we've used as inspiration for a fantastic collaboration with another iconic company.
The running vest and track sweater have been reimagined by Umbro and Matlock-based knitwear experts John Smedley , creating two smart, super-stylish pieces of clothing for a sporting summer wardrobe. The Field Sweater and the Tangeru Shirt take inspiration from the sporting world and current fashion trends, allowing you to show your patriotic support in a smart, stylish way.
When it comes to knitwear, it's hard to beat John Smedley for experience and smart fashion sense – with over 225 years of manufacturing history, the British company probably know everything there is to know about it! As part of this collaboration, their beautifully soft, lightweight John Smedley Sea Island cotton has been used to craft these two very special items.
The Tangeru Shirt is inspired by the classic running vest discovered in the Umbro archives. With a three-button, round collar, the short sleeve tee uses a 30 gauge John Smedley Sea Island cotton that's wonderfully soft to the touch and comfortable to wear. With patriotic red, white and blue stripes proudly displayed across the chest, the Tangeru Shirt also features a blank white fabric patch in the centre of the chest, a reference to the team patch displayed on the original design.
Alongside the Tangeru Shirt, the Field Sweater uses an original track warm up top as inspiration, crafted a modern interpretation that combine a distinct retro feel with some subtle contemporary touches. The Field Sweater is crafted from a 24 gauge John Smedley Sea Island Cotton, in dark navy blue. The sweater features concealed internal cut and sew pockets with a dark navy stitch showing on the exterior, plus a double linked rib collar, mid zip detail and ribbed cuffs and hem.
These delicate touches of detail typify this special collaboration with John Smedley, which is on sale at a number of select retailers and here on Umbro.com from July 27th. Bringing two of the finest British brands together for a special summer, these two very special pieces will certainly add a smart athletic look to any wardrobe this summer.

Headshots October 4th
Dimitri Filipovic
October 04 2012 02:58PM
Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost, produced a tribute video, birthed a clever .gif into existence, or have a hockey related cause you'd like to see promoted in this space - please e-mail Thom at email@example.com.
The biggest news emanating out of the NHL today was the cancellation of regular season games through October 24th. As Greg Wyshynski points out, that doesn't necessarily mean that an 82-game schedule can't happen, but an agreement would need to be reached in the next three weeks.
J.Bowman tries to remain positive through these difficult times, but it's pretty tough. He somehow still shows the wherewithal to mix Prab Rai, and Sandra Bullock into the same post. He's in midseason form!
Image Break! Our pal,
Roberto Luongo Strombone, weighs in on the news regarding cancellation of games. His tweet may not even be tongue-in-cheek, though. Here are his October save percentage numbers over the past 5 seasons: .869, .907, .902, .902, .903. Who needs October, anyways?
Harrison Mooney "spitballs" on a variety of topics, including Ryan Kesler's injury, and the return of Tanner Glass.
Wyatt Arndt
continued on with the fake season decided to take last night off, citing "work" and "life" as things that were stressing him. This just goes to show you - Kevin Paul Dupont was right all along. Bloggers really are bad people.
According to the twitter feed of News1130 Sports, the Rochester Americans have named Cody Hodgson as their captain for this coming season. That sound you're all hearing is Alain Vigneault throwing up in his mouth - wasting a perfectly good lozenge along the way.
On the team's official website, Mike Gillis posted a letter for the fans of the team. Over at Nucks Misconduct, a few revisions to said letter are made.

New Teen Wolf series on MTV. Its a remake of sorts of the 80's movie but its completely different. More of a real werewolf setting as opposed to a silly 80s teen movie theme.
On a side note, has anyone been modding this section. Everytime I see a new post and go to check it out its useless spammer crap. The inception thread alone has like 5 useless posts from bots that say nothing more than " Inception is a good movie" with crap links attached to the user. Its getting old, and its not just this section sadly. Seems like all sections have been lacking in this area.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
After splitting region volleyball games last week, the Emery Lady Spartans will travel to Mt. Pleasant Tuesday night to participate in a three-way play-in game for the right to travel to Utah Valley University this Friday to face Morgan in the first round of the 3-A state tournament.
Emery defeated Manti Tuesday evening in the Spartan Center on senior night as the school honored the graduating seniors that were playing in their last home game of the season. Seniors this season are Nikki Rogers, Kristiann Grange, Tiffany Tuttle, Danavin Reed, Abbie Kay and Ashley Alger.
Emery defeated Manti 25-17, 25-23 and 25-15. In the second game, Emery was down 0-5 and then way down at 4-13 before getting their act together and defeating Manti in that game. Emery has the ability to play with anybody it seems but often that ability seems to get lost but not this night. Emery lost to Delta at Delta on Thursday to finish the season at 2-8 in region play.
With the 2-8 record, Emery tied Manti and Juab with identical records for the fourth spot in region 12. Richfield won the region with a perfect 10-0 record followed by Delta and North Sanpete.
Because Emery, Juab and Manti each defeated each other once this season, the three schools will flip a coin with the winner waiting to play the winner of the early game between the two losers of the coin flip. This play-off is for the final slot from region 12 in the 3-A state tournament.
This was a season best summed up maybe as coulda, woulda, shoulda. This team took a while to find themselves and basically got better throughout the season. Some thought that this team had talent that could have been higher up in region play.
At times, this team has played extremely well while at other times this team struggled with fundamentals. Coach Kris Bell thinks that, "these girls have been fun to be around and I will miss them when the season is over. It just took us a while to get it together this year. We have the ability if we just would do it."
The first game is Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Mt. Pleasant with the next game coming right after. The winner advances. The state tournament is at Utah Valley University in Orem starting this Friday morning and will run through Saturday evening when the champion is crowned.

Love these
"I actually got mine on clearance for $26, so check your stores! I spotted these in a size 8 and was bummed because I love the color, but I went around the corner and found them in a 9. I actually wear an 8.5, so a 9 is doable! Now, keep in my mind that this is a heel, so it's not fun to stand in them long, but you can make it in them during the work day."

Dust blew off the coast of Libya and over the Mediterranean Sea in early March 2013. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this image on March 7. Northwest of Banghazi (Benghazi), the dust formed a cloud thick enough to completely hide the ocean surface below.
Source points for the dust are not obvious in this image, but desert covers most of Libya; a milder climate prevails only along the coast. Sand seas occur throughout the interior. The sand seas provide ample material for dust storms, which are some of Libya's most frequent natural hazards.

Although airlines' overall record has improved, passengers were stuck on 16 planes for at least three hours in December.
WASHINGTON — Airlines had fewer lengthy tarmac delays last year than they did in 2011, almost two years after the federal government began curbing the practice.
New data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics showed that there were 42 tarmac delays of longer than three hours on domestic flights in 2012, down from 50 in 2011.
Airlines have been forbidden from keeping passengers on planes on tarmacs for more than three hours on domestic flights without giving them the option of disembarking since April 2010. Exceptions are allowed if the situation involves a safety, security or air-traffic control-related issue.
Airlines that violate the rule could be forced to pay up to $27,500 per passenger. The Department of Transportation has penalized a handful of airlines, though none to the maximum extent.
Between May 2009 and April 2010, the carriers had 693 tarmac delays of more than three hours. Since August 2011, U.S. and foreign airlines operating international flights at U.S. airports have had to operate under a four-hour tarmac delay limit.
That said, in December, passengers on 16 flights were stuck on tarmacs for at least three hours on domestic flights Christmas Day, making for one of the worst situations since the federal government starting curbing the practice. Fourteen of those domestic delays took place on Dec. 25 at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport during a snow and ice storm. There was one tarmac delay of more than four hours on an international flight.
The department is investigating the delays.
The nation's largest 15 airlines that report performance to the department fared well in other areas last year.
They had their lowest rate of mishandled baggage since they began reporting such data in September 1987. There were 3.09 reports of mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers, down from 3.35 in 2011.
They were also on time 81.85% of the time in 2012, the third best performance in the 18 years the department has collected comparable data.
Airlines canceled 1.29% of flights during the year, the second lowest rate for the past 18 years.
"This remarkable decrease in flight delays, tarmac incidents, cancellations and mishandled bags is a tribute both to the hard work of the airlines and the Department of Transportation's oversight of the aviation industry," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a written statement. "We will continue to work with the carriers to make air travel more convenient and hassle-free for consumers."
Robert Mann, president of airline consulting company R.W. Mann & Co., says that the tarmac rule is not necessarily a good thing because it's resulted in "pre-emptive cancellations."
But, he says, airlines are performing better in general because they are running fewer flights thanks to streamlined schedules as well as mergers.
"We are seeing much cleaner operations because they all have to schedule less," he says. "Consolidation means people don't have to out-schedule each other again. That mutually destructive behavior resulted in the hideous delays of the '80s and '90s."
The carriers did bump more passengers in 2012 than they did the previous year, up from a rate of 0.77 per 10,000 passengers in 2011 to 0.99 in 2012. For the fourth quarter of last year, airlines posted a bumping rate of 1.00 per 10,000 passengers, up from the 0.65 rate for the fourth quarter of 2011.
In December, airlines were on time 76.6% of the time, down from both December 2011's 84.4% rate and November 2012's 85.7%.
The most on-time airlines in December were Hawaiian, Delta and Alaska. The least on-time were Frontier, JetBlue and ExpressJet.
Consumer complaints against U.S. airlines were also up, from 568 in December 2011 to 639 in December 2012.
