Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima only entered her first modeling contest as a teenager because a friend of hers did not want to enter alone, but it wasn't long before she started bringing home titles. At 15, she took first in Ford's Supermodel of Brazil search and then placed second in their Supermodel of The World contest in 1996. At 18, she moved to Manhattan, signed with Elite and built her portfolio doing editorial for Vogue and Marie Claire, runway for Vera Wang, Armani, Fendi and Ralph Lauren, print advertising for Guess and Doritos and spokesperson work for Maybelline (2003-09). Now, according to Forbes, she is the third highest-earning model with a whopping $6 million a year. Most of her earnings can be attributed to her senior status as a Victoria's Secret Angel, a position she's held since 2000. She has occasionally popped up on TV shows and commercials like "Ugly Betty" and "how I Met Your Mother." The Pirelli calendar girl and devout Roman Catholic met NBA player Marko Jaric in 2006. They eloped in 2009 in Wyoming and wasted no time starting a family. Daughter Valentina was born in November of that year. Her sister Sienna followed in September 2012.

Found January 19, 2013 on NorthWest Sports Beat:
PLAYERS: Cory Schneider, Chris Higgins, Roberto Luongo, Dan Hamhuis, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Ryan Kesler, Zack Kassian
TEAMS: Vancouver Canucks
TEAMS: Vancouver Canucks
Hockey is here again This year's Vancouver Canucks are very similar to the team we witnessed fall to the LA Kings last April. While the lockout has changed the landscape of the 2013 season significantly, the core personnel in Vancouver remain the same. My predictions this season are on the conservative side due to the uncertainty at play, but know I'm sure to look like a fool this summer when hindsight hunts me down. Below is my best guess at what the Vancouver Canucks will look like in 2013. Canucks 2013 MVP? Cory Schneider will rack up the wins, the Sedins will score points, but I see Chris Higgins emerging as Vancouver's 2013 MVP. He will be needed all over the lineup, and has shown little weakness playing in a variety of positions with the Canucks. 2013 Team MVP? Time will tell… Canucks Goalie with the best GAA? Roberto Luongo. With Schneider slotted as the starter, Luongo could receive easier starts involving less pressure. Best +/- on the team? Dan Hamhuis retains the crown. Canucks leading goal scorer will be? Daniel Sedin. Leading team in points? Henrik Sedin. Lead team in assists? Henrik Sedin. Best defenceman award goes to? Dan Hamhuis. TEAM PROPS Canucks will win the President's Trophy? The Canucks will regress slightly and fail to retain the President's Trophy. How many points will the Canucks finish with in 2013 season? Expecting regression and adjusting to a shortened season, call it an even 60. How many wins will the Canucks finish with? 27 Will the Canucks win the Northwest division? Yes they will. Will they have a winning record vs. Chicago? Yes, I think the motivation for revenge swings this rivalry in Vancouver's favour. Will they have a winning record vs. Calgary? Yes of course. Will they have a winning record vs. Edmonton? Is Edmonton cold? PLAYER PROPS Will Ryan Kesler will play before the playoffs? Yes/ no? Yes, Kesler will rejoin the team late in the regular season but will be a step behind come playoffs. Henrik will edge out his brother for the top goal scorer again. (Photo – Jenn Vinnick/NHL/Getty Images) Will Roberto Luongo be on the team come opening game? Damn right he will. Luongo stays until the trade deadline, or for the entire season. Will Align Vigneault be the coach come playoffs? Of course he will. Twin with more points? Daniel/Hank? Henrik will edge out his brother the goal scorer again. How many games will Schneider play this year? 32. I wouldn't be surprised if Luongo stays the entire season and plays a healthy role as a backup. Who will Mike Gillis trade for before the season starts? I wish I had an answer. Hours before hockey's glorious return GM MG seems quiet. Will the Canucks make a big splash at the trade deadline? Yes they will. Whether Roberto Luongo is involved or not is the tougher question. Who plays the most games on the wing w/ the Sedins in 2013 Reg. Season? Alex Burrows will get the most games alongside the Sedins, but don't be surprised if Zack Kassian challenges for the position, especially late in the season when the pressure is on the Sedins to produce. What seed in the Western Conference will the Canucks get for playoffs? The Canucks will finish 3rd, last of the three divisional leaders in a tight race.

Slumlords ignore leaking pipes and seal off rooms rather than repair them; mayor's don't, or at least shouldn't.
New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio came across as reckless when he told Day Staff Writer Kathleen Edgecomb this week that a lack of money is preventing a prompt response to address what appears to be a dangerous situation at City Hall.
A steam pipe is reportedly leaking in the wall of a first-floor office. While apparently now worse, it appears the problem is not new. Former City Clerk Clark van der Lyke said he noticed mold on the walls when he used the office about a year ago. A musty, moldy smell permeates the building.
Shortly before Christmas, steam from the leaking pipe set off an alarm and so swelled the door that a public works crew had to break it down. They sealed the room off with a plywood panel, but as of Wednesday afternoon the cause of the situation remained unaddressed.
New London's mayor certainly faces a tough fiscal situation. Forced to address a large deficit he inherited with his 2011 election, Mayor Finizio has worked with the City Council to cut spending and raise taxes to bring finances back into balance. Mayor Finizio says the cuts left spending so tight he doesn't have the money to address needed repairs. He contends the leak and mold situation and the many other problems at City Hall are symptomatic of the city's deplorable infrastructure, caused by maintenance being deferred for years.
Disrepear and lack of handicap access at the high school, aging public safety vehicles and outdated public works equipment are higher priorities if he had the money, said Mayor Finizio. The administration is preparing a comprehensive capital improvement plan, he said.
However, as any homeowner knows, there are some things that can't be ignored, things for which you have to find the money. A persistent leak and mold growth is such a situation. Certain types of mold can create health problems. If they have not done so already, inspectors from the Ledge Light Health District should examine the matter.
While his frustration is understandable, the mayor needs to find the resources to address the most immediate and serious problems, it's part of the job.

5 reasons homebuyers can be thankful this Thanksgivingby Tim Manni
We all know that this economy has brought on hard times for millions of Americans. I think everyone agrees that this country's economic woes won't end until the housing market turns around. Amidst the still-anemic news of recovery are some bright spots, though.
If you're a potential homebuyer, you have five big reasons to feel thankful this Thanksgiving:
1. Rock-bottom mortgage rates:
Mortgage rates are at their lowest point in some five decades. Whether you're buying or refinancing, this is an incredible opportunity to lock in a record-low mortgage rate.
Even though we got a glimpse of rising mortgage rates last week, rates remain well below levels seen even as far back as a year ago.
2. The Federal Reserve:
No other government entity has been able to do more for the housing market than the Fed. Its purchase of mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries between late 2008 and early 2010 has been the driving force behind record-low mortgage rates.
The newly unveiled Treasury purchase program could do more of the same. Even better, this new round of Fed support might just get jittery private investors back into the mortgage market — something no one has been able to do to this point. Borrowers come out the winner in that scenario.
3. The Federal Housing Administration:
In a lending environment where getting a mortgage seems to require three wishes from the FICO fairy, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has been the white knight, altering some lending practices to accommodate borrowers who wouldn't otherwise qualify for a home loan.
FHA loans only require 3.5 percent down payment for borrowers with a credit score of 580 and above — and they now only require a 1 percent fee upfront, helping even more borrowers access financing for a home purchase.

DJ Earworm: United State of Pop 2012
The annual DJ Earworm mash-up of the biggest hits of the year is fast becoming as much a part of Christmas as the tree or the turkey.
This year's offering called Shine Brighter features the 25 most popular songs of 2012 according to Billboard from artists including Bruno Mars, Adele, Carly Rae Jepsen, One Direction and The Wanted.
Earworm really is at the very top of the mash-up game, not just splicing a couple of songs together but creating an entirely new pop track in the process.
There is even a brilliantly made video to go with it.

Inbetweens: Tex Avery Model Sheets
7 Responses to "Inbetweens: Tex Avery Model Sheets"
Awesome stuff.
Hey Steve, did Irv Spence draw that Lion + Mouse model sheet? Just curious. Any, these sheets are good stuff!
Amazing stuff. Tex is still my all time favorite!
I love these. I also I'm interested in finding out who drew some of the different sheets in this post. Also who were the main artist behind the style changes of the Avery shorts? Are any of these based on Tex drawings? Or are any of these Tex's ?
Thanks so much for posting Tex's work! Such great drawings to study! I love so many different artists and animators work, but Tex is my favorite. So thrilled to find so many treasures here. Thanks!
Great compilation! Thank you so much for posting. Some of these I hadn't seen before and a lot of the other ones were posted on Kevin Langley's blog, but it's still great to have all of these in one place for quick reference.

Great place to get away from city
We must say that the place is very beautiful and serene. House itself is well maintained and has enough rooms for 10 people. We were 4 couples and 3 kids and had lot of space. We liked their collection of board games and TV system. Kitchen is well equipped and has cutlery as well. Overall inside of the house is excellent Outside is such greenery and spacious which we missed living in the city. All of us loved the camp fire and star gazing. Hot tub is very good and some of the pics we took with back ground of barn look pretty. We would go there again without any hesitation and recommend to other friends and family as well.
A perfect Labor Day weekend??
We totally recommend this place! The listing description is very accurate. The property is well maintain and clean. We spent a long Labor Day weekend here and we couldn't find a more beautiful place to end the Summer. The fire pit outside with comfy chairs, the hot tub, the view, clean air and the silence was perfect! We was 4 couples and 2 kids and the 5 bedrooms/king size beds, large living room and all the space around the house make us feel very comfortable. We was very impress with the quality of the mattress and pillows. The big fridge was a nice surprise and came in handy. The billiard table keep us entertain on rainy evenings. The kids enjoy the diversity of board games offered. The kitchen is packed with all the appliances that you need. Network connection it's very good. Around area you can enjoy fishing on Cayuga Lake, visit Taughannock Falls State Park, bicycling and hiking. We definitely come again here. We recommend this place to all our friends who want to escape from NY City ones in a while. This place offer relaxation and fun in every season.
Perfect for our family of 12
We held our annual family get together at Willow Creek and found it ideal for our group which ranged in age from 5 to 81. The rooms are wonderfully spacious and when we gathered for meals or for games or just conversation, there was always room to spare. The bedrooms and bathrooms were equally well appointed and roomy. The large yard was inviting for the 2 small boys and each morning saw a pickup baseball game with their dads. Nearby state parks provide lovely settings for hiking, swimming, bird watching or just lazing in the sun. The kitchen was well appointed -- we cooked most evenings and found the dining accommodations spacious enough for us all. Our hosts, KC and Mitch were fully responsive to our questions prior to our arrival, and while there were available but we had little need to bother them since everything worked perfectly. For our group it really was a dream house.

Every year, school board members from across California meet for a three-day conference hosted by the California School Boards Association. The event serves as a training of sorts for new members, and as an opportunity for school board members to network and attend seminars and workshops. As a newly elected school board member, I attended this conference for the first time last month.
I was eager to receive my school board "training," but after about two hours in attendance, my excitement quickly turned into disbelief as nearly every panelist presented information on how to raise taxes during lean economic times. As a matter of fact, the conference featured five different sessions on how to raise taxes.
Considering California's volatile state and slow economic recovery I was shocked to see there wasn't one workshop on how to save parents money, or any workshop that mirrors what millions of Californians are doing right now in response to these hard times: doing a little more with a little bit less.
The conference hosted by the California School Boards Association felt more like brainwashing. Before I was elected, I promised my constituents I would keep an open mind and duly consider everything set before me. I could not see that same willingness to appreciate a different perspective at this conference. All I could see was an insatiable desire to raise taxes.
Californians, especially college students, deserve a simple guarantee that they won't be taxed again after showing their commitment to funding education. As a school board member, I'm glad to see voters care about funding strong public schools, and that makes my job as a board member much easier. However, with these funds comes a tremendous responsibility to spend wisely and govern properly.
Californians just approved an increase in the state sales tax, personal income taxes, and eliminated tax exemptions for certain businesses. Federal taxes have also increased due to Congress' fiscal-cliff agreement; the capital gains tax, estate tax, dividend and payroll taxes are also seeing a stiff increase. Most of us have already noticed that our paycheck is smaller than it was last month.
Local governments have also raised taxes. Last election, 113 school bond measures passed in California out of 140 proposed bonds. A casual observer might expect elected officials to ease up momentarily on their drive for ever-higher taxes. Unfortunately, it appears that many of our politicians are still laser-focused on additional tax increases.
The governor's budget assumes almost $6.2 billion in new tax revenue, so there is absolutely no doubt there is enough of the public's money going into the hands of government.
During the 2012 election, dozens of homeowners in my district asked me not to raise property taxes. These taxes levied for the privilege of occupying a property can cost individual homeowners thousands of dollars a year. Given the real fervor against property tax hikes, I was also puzzled to hear discussions at the conference about methods to circumvent the much needed limits of Proposition 13.
However, the frenetic rush to raise taxes is unseemly. It's sad that some of our politicians are declaring victory and looking to the next tax increase. Responsible policymakers ought to show some restraint and respect for the voters they so passionately seek to tax.
California taxpayers could use a break.

A bit of good news for the offensive line: Bryce Walker is back on the field practicing. He traveled to Wisconsin and he could be in the offensive line rotation this weekend at Colorado State.
Walker has missed the entire fall camp and the first part of the season with a broken leg.
At 6-foot-8, he's a massive guard and the line sorely needs the size and depth he can provide.
Walker will be a welcome addition to the line, especially with Oscar Molina-Sanchez out indefinitely with a foot injury.

Kids' Age-by-Age Doctor Guide
Building positive child-doctor relationships
Kids love repetition and rhyme, and music can help calm an anxious child. This fun, traditional song is great to sing together anytime and especially on doctor days.
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Repeat this lyric for four, three, and two monkeys … and then …
One little monkey jumping on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"That's what you get for jumping on the bed!"
Now I'm the Doctor (for Preschoolers)
For your preschooler, put together some props for role-playing: tongue depressor, a box of inexpensive bandages, fever scan tape (available at drugstores) to take your child's temperature, an old white shirt (to use as a lab coat), an alphabet eye chart (you can make one), a small toy hammer for testing reflexes, and a toy funnel stethoscope. Encourage your child to play doctor and nurse with you—and then reverse roles.
To make the toy stethoscope, you'll need two small plastic funnels and 18 inches of clear, plastic tubing. Just attach the tubing over the ends of the funnels and your child can listen to her heartbeat. Place one funnel on her heart and the other funnel to her ear. She can also listen to knees bending, stomachs gurgling, and other body noises. There are several places on the body where she can pick up a heartbeat—have her search and experiment.
You can help your child become interested in the props by reading stories about visits to the doctor. Here are a few to get you started: The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor, by Stan and Jan Berenstain; My Doctor, by Harlow Rockwell; and
Nicky Goes to the Doctor by Richard Scarry.
Using Doctor Tools Creatively (Preschoolers and School-Age Kids)
Here are a few activities that allow your child to use doctor tools for creative fun art projects:
- Gather some cotton balls, gauze, and cotton swabs. Dip these into poster paints and use these as painting tools.
- Provide eyedroppers, thinned poster paint (by adding water), and absorbent paper (like paper towels or coffee filters). Using the eyedropper as a painting tool can make designs. "Drip-drop-drip-drop"—create a colorful art masterpiece.
- Make a set of dominoes by writing on tongue depressors. Divide each wooden stick in half with a felt-tip marker. On each half place a different number of dots. Make a bunch. Grab a parent or friend and play this matching game.
- Make a health collage. Find pictures in magazines of health professionals, doctor tools, pill bottles, and even healthy foods. Glue these onto a poster. Discuss the importance of staying healthy and how health professionals such as doctors and nurses can help you.

Dakota country is increasingly less a land of small grain and more a new empire for corn and soybeans as the Corn Belt is rapidly shifting north and west.
"Technology transfer, that towers above all other factors, such as glyphosate-ready soybeans and Bt corn," says Lisa Richardson, executive director of the South Dakota Corn Growers Association. Drought-resistant seeds could push corn and soybeans further into the Dakotas, she says.
"Ultimately, it's the price," says Joel Ransom, agronomist at North Dakota State University. "With prices of late, guys aren't going to grow as many small grains."
The numbers are astounding. From 2001 to 2011, North Dakota corn acres increased by a 153%, with soybean acres up 86%. U.S. corn acres rose 21% during the period, while soybean acres changed very little. Even so, North Dakota still has three times more wheat acres than corn, although wheat acres fell by 28% during the 10-year span. The big hits came on small grains such as oats, down 70%, and barley, down 73%.
South Dakota corn acres increased by 36% during the decade, with soybean acres modestly lower in 2011 from 2001. Like its neighbor, South Dakota oats were sharply lower, down 66%, and barley, down 72%.
"There's still room for more corn and soybean growth," says Tom Lilja, executive director of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association. Moreover, word has gotten around that farmers planting corn have received good yields even in dry years. "Guys could not believe the corn and soybean yields they got in 2012," Lilja says.
Rainfall in the Dakotas has mostly been adequate during the past decade, further encouraging a corn and soybean shift, says David Saxowsky, a farm management specialist at North Dakota State University. Another huge factor is the large number of ethanol plants and other processing plants in the region that have created an instant market, he says.
Farm policy changes, beginning with Freedom to Farm in 1996, also set the stage for growth in corn and soybeans in the Dakotas, says Matt Diersen, ag economist at South Dakota State University. "At some point, specialty crops get eliminated from the rotation," he says. One final factor is that livestock returns have not been positive during the past decade. Pastures have been converted to cropland, which has mostly been corn and soybeans.

Felt and looked terribly cheap. I expected better from August Silk - I have a ton of their knit shells, turtlenecks, and cardigans that I love. This felt terrible, though - like it would lose all semblance of its shape in about three washes. Even if it was super inexpensive, I don't want it to look that way. Sent it back.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - For just the seventh time in its history, Churchill Downs is welcoming an new track announcer. If you don't know the man, there's a good chance you already know his voice.
Larry Collmus has been the voice of the Kentucky Derby on NBC's worldwide telecast for the past three years.
"There's so many great announcers around the country and I'm just so happy to be the one guy that gets to call the race that everybody wants to call," he said.
Starting this year, he'll be pulling double duty as the new voice of Churchill Downs full time on race days while keeping that job with NBC.
"If you are not nervous calling the Kentucky Derby, there's something wrong with you," he said.
Despite three years doing it, Collmus said the jitters won't go away this year. He said, "You have this feel that everybody is listening to everything you say for the next two minutes and not only that, but for years and years to come."
He battles the Derby nerves with preparation. "In the Kentucky Derby, I start preparing probably around February, by watching prep races, looking at each individual horse," he said. "I want those horses that are running in the Kentucky Derby to be my best friends by the time they head on to the racetrack, where I don't even have to look at them."
Now he's got the added pressure of a full week's card. "You can't really sit back for the 4th race on Thursday and just mail it in," he said.
It was one of those so-called normal days that introduced Collmus to the non-horse racing fan. His call of a race at Monmouth Park in New Jersey went viral when Mywifenoseverything and Thewifedoesntknow battled it out in the stretch.
That may not even be Collmus' most amusing story. Here's how he remembers the sloppy Derby from last year, "I saw this covered-in-mud, barely could discern the colors but I could see red and white and in the split second, and I told people, I was 80 percent sure that that was Orb and so I went for it. Thank goodness it was the right horse."
Collmus' new co-workers aren't surprised he was right. They expect nothing less from the man now fulfilling a childhood dream.
"Over 30 years, he's built a reputation for a lot of things: excellence, being at the top of his profession, but also he is a great lover of thoroughbred racing," said John Asher, the Vice President of Racing Communications at Churchill Downs.
"Believe it or not, I wanted to be a track announcer since I was probably about 15 or 16 years old," Collmus said.
Collmus is only the third person to ever call the Derby both on-track and for the network broadcast.
He starts his new job officially at Churchill Downs when he calls the first race on Opening Night Saturday. Post time is set for 6 p.m.

The marginal cost of funds with nonseparable public spending
AbstractThis article provides new calculations of the welfare effects of fiscal changes when the publicly provided good is nonseparable in utility and production so that it affects economic agents' marginal decisions. The authors' results show that these nonseparabilities significantly alter the marginal cost of funds (MCF) that previous studies have calculated. The authors also report estimates of the nonseparable marginal benefits (NSMB) associated with aggregate government purchases. The net marginal cost offunds (NMCF ), which is equal to MCF - NSMB, is in general positive over a wide range of parameter values that encompass empirically relevant specifications. Thus the nonseparable benefits by themselves are not sufficient for a marginal increase in aggregate government purchases of goods and services to be worthwhile.

Three big questions as camp winds down
Heading into training camp, coaches and general managers around the league say they want to give a look to their kids first before making any decisions on older players. Then, typically, when camp is ready to break, the safety and consistency of the veteran player is too hard to resist. The kids head back to junior or the AHL for further development. What was an intriguing preseason story gets lost in the grind of the regular season.
Duclair is doing everything he can to make sure that doesn't happen. At the end of the business day on Tuesday, teams must submit their opening night rosters and be salary-cap compliant. It makes this week fascinating because there are big questions on high-profile teams as training camp ticks down to its final moments.
Let's start in New York, where the next generation of Rangers is making us reconsider concerns about the loss of depth this summer.
Big question: Has Anthony Duclair done enough to make the Rangers?
Let's explore why a player with so much skill could slip to the third round of the 2013 draft.
Bruins search for right mix at right wing
Sure, it was only an exhibition, but it was enough to spark an idea.
"I'd seen him a few times over the summer. We're from the same town. On the ice, he looked the same to me," Bergeron said. "It's hard to tell sometimes in the summer."
So, they chatted. Bergeron asked Gagne how he felt. He asked him what his plans were, if he definitely wanted to play, if he had any other offers. He was gathering information, information he'd eventually pass on to Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli.
Bergeron, as it turns out, is a good guy to know.
"I don't do that often, but Peter is the kind of guy who is open; if it can help, why not?" Bergeron said. "I just kind of mentioned that he was skating, looked good, kept in shape and was looking for something."
As were the Bruins.
Boston remains the team to beat in the Eastern Conference, but it's not without question marks, most notably down the right side of its forward group. A little more clarity came on Monday when the team released Ville Leino from his tryout, and convinced Reilly Smith to take a one-year deal below market value to squeeze under the salary cap.
Signing Smith and Torey Krug at such reasonable numbers means the Bruins don't necessarily have to trade Johnny Boychuk, a player who might have netted help at right wing in a deal, if they don't want to.
It means the most likely course of action is that those currently in camp will fill the opening at right wing, created by the departures of Jarome Iginla and Shawn Thornton.

What Connor McDavid sees on the ice
Erie's Connor McDavid scored his first goal of the OHL season against Windsor on Friday night, then followed it with two more against Plymouth on Saturday. The consensus No. 1 overall prospect in the 2015 NHL draft has eight points in three games.
It's a solid start.
McDavid's game is quiet in the sense that he's not banging his stick on the ice when he gets open. It's quiet in the sense that he's not responding to post-whistle shoving or any attempts to muscle him off his game. It's quiet in the sense that he just calmly finds an opening on the ice, then remarkably the puck finds him.
"He doesn't chase after the puck, the puck chases after him," said one NHL scout sitting in the stands and watching him play over the weekend. "The puck wants to be on his stick."
McDavid has all the physical tools. Now in his draft year, he's even stronger and his skating is more explosive, which you notice particularly in the neutral zone.
That's half of it. What makes McDavid the kind of generational prospect who will transform a franchise is his hockey sense. The best players aren't just guys with the physical tools, they're the guys who somehow instinctively know exactly where to go on the ice and what to do with the puck when they get there.
McDavid has that sixth sense, and following his game against Windsor on Friday, he graciously attempted to explain what he sees on the ice that allows him to do what he does. It's one thing to simply play and react, but the smartest players can tell you exactly why they made the pass when they did, or why they chose that particular spot on the ice to make a play.
Through the lens of three plays he made Friday night against the Spitfires, we asked McDavid to share his thought process and what he saw

Blackhawks keeping the pipeline full
Kelley was looking forward to seeing these franchise players on consecutive nights to observe how their games had grown since the last time he watched them live. As the guy in charge of amateur scouting for one of the best teams in the league, Kelley's opinion on these guys may just be for entertainment purposes only. The days of Chicago picking at the top of the draft ended when it grabbed Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane and called it a decade.
Every once in a while though, he'll remind GM Stan Bowman just how good the top of the draft is this year. You know, just in case

Ten players worth reaching for in fantasy
Am I jealous? Maybe a little. I think all individuals who cover sports for a living have a little Matthew Berry in them. So when my editor suggested I compile a list of 10 hockey players I'd be willing to reach for in the coming fantasy drafts and auctions this season, I quickly accepted the offer. (It didn't occur to me until later that the assignment came shortly after he invited me into his own fantasy league.)
These 10 players are guys I'm willing to grab earlier than where they're ranked in the ESPN Top 300 (with their current ranking in parenthesis). They're players who coaches, teammates or scouts have mentioned as guys ready to make a jump. Did I leave one or two of my favorites off the list for the sake of my own team? Maybe. Perhaps that's why we leave the fantasy writing to others.
[Editor's note: Start your free ESPN Fantasy Hockey season here.]
1. Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado Avalanche (No. 44)
It's not breaking news that MacKinnon is a star in the making. He won the Calder, so he's not exactly flying under the radar. But what we saw last season was just the beginning. The kid was dominant in the playoffs, with a gear that few other players in the league have. He plays in a system that is conducive to producing offense. He scored 24 goals as a rookie, and I expect that total to jump considerably. In the last 22 games of the regular season, he scored just two goals on 66 shots -- shooting percentage of three. His luck will improve there.
By now you've heard he's put on muscle, and that's great. The better news is that he's learning how to use his speed at the NHL level.

How analytics are changing NHL coaching
It was a computer program tracking ice time as it happened.
Every time a player hopped the boards, his timer started calculating whom he was playing with and against and for how long. Slowly a database of information, even in its simplest form, was being automatically tracked thanks to the willingness of each player to wear a Band-Aid-sized tracking device during one of the NHL prospect games in Traverse City, Michigan.
"It's all real time, based on the chip," Boll said while describing each function on the screen. "The only people we manually control are the goalies because goalies are superstitious. In Europe they don't care; in North America they care."
The automated information collection is currently just doing the basics. Ice time. Shift charts. Data that is already readily available each night in NHL rinks.
It's the next generation, likely available next season, that Boll, the CEO of Quantum Pro Hockey, is most excited about.

Four keys to the Wild being contenders
Ilya Bryzgalov was even brought in to settle things down. Let that sink in for a moment.
The goalie situation in Minnesota was already fascinating without the drama; the incidents last week just added a layer of intrigue. Starting Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets, the drama shifts to the ice.
In a typical season, Wild coach Mike Yeo would already have his entire goalie plan mapped out. He'd know who was starting every preseason game and how long each goalie would play. By the end of training camp, he'd work it out so his No. 1 goalie played enough games and got enough work to prepare for the start of the season.
That's not happening this season.
Tonight, Niklas Backstrom and Bryzgalov will split playing time against the Jets, Yeo said. Kuemper will play against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.
After that? Let's just put it down as TBD.
"That's our challenge; it's tough," Yeo said when we chatted on Sunday afternoon. "The plan is, the first couple games, everyone will see some action."
By the final few games, Yeo will have a better idea of which netminder gets the No. 1 goalie treatment and will prepare for the start of the season.
"That could be anyone," he said.
While many teams can use preseason games to get into game shape, tweak systems and get a good look at young players, this is an open competition for the goalie job in Minnesota, a team that has Stanley Cup aspirations.

Hayes has opportunity in New York
When a 6-foot-3, 22-year-old forward looks good out there -- like New York Rangers forward Kevin Hayes looked at the Red Wings prospect tournament in Traverse City, Michigan -- those factors have to be weighed. It's better to depend on veteran talent evaluators who are looking less at the production and more at the process.
One widely respected talent evaluator left the tournament impressed with what he saw in Hayes.
"He looks like a player," he said. "Free guys are hard to get. That's a guy 29 other teams would have been happy to get."
They had their chance.
When the NHL and the NHLPA agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement to end the last lockout, one of the rules some general managers hoped to see amended survived.

Johansen pact will have NHL-wide impact
In 2013-14, the season started without big free-agent signing Nathan Horton, and the Blue Jackets survived. They got only 22 games out of Marian Gaborik, and the Blue Jackets survived. They'd like to think that goes for anyone in the lineup.
It's a theory that could soon be tested.
Last season, center Ryan Johansen was the constant. He played all 82 games, developed into the No. 1 center the franchise had previously never enjoyed and finished with 33 goals -- 19 more than he'd scored in his 107 previous NHL games.
Training camp opens this Thursday, and barring a complete course change from one of the two sides, the restricted free agent won't be there.
Like many teams this summer, Columbus is discovering that the second contract is becoming a bear to negotiate. It's the one time teams have the hammer and most of the leverage, and they're trying to use it. Across the league as the cap increases, players and their agents are pushing back

Tough decision ahead for Mike Babcock
He's fine saying that as of Saturday evening there had been no additional contract conversations between him and Detroit GM Ken Holland. He's not concerned about it.
"If it wasn't Ken Holland and myself and the relationship wasn't the way it is, it might be different," Babcock said when we sat down for a chat over the weekend. "If I was concerned about this, it would be different."
He's not.
"Not one bit," he said. "Not one bit."
In Detroit, he might be in the minority.

Player poll: Who is top franchise player?
Jonathan Toews edged Sidney Crosby for the top spot, with the Stanley Cup playoff performance of Drew Doughty still fresh in the mind of voters, who put him third on the list.
This week in New York, many of the franchise players who were named by executives gathered for the player media tour, the unofficial kickoff to the NHL season. It was an opportunity to give the players a chance to answer the same question. The same rules applied: Players were asked to list three players they'd want if they were starting a franchise from the ground up.
A few players wanted to add their own ground rules. Tyler Seguin felt compelled to pick teammates, so he added a rule that you couldn't pick your own teammates. Some guys followed the rule, others didn't.
Claude Giroux introduced the idea of picking himself, to which we had no objection. Henrik Lundqvist, however, saw a conflict of interest there.
"Am I the GM?" Lundqvist asked. "Then I'm not picking myself."
He quickly identified Sidney Crosby, then paused for a moment. "This is tough."
And with that, here are the results, giving three points to a first-place vote, two for a second and one for a third:
Sidney Crosby (19 points): Crosby finished a close second to Jonathan Toews when executives voted, but he ran away with it among the players.

Players weigh in on advanced analytics
Coming off the summer of analytics in the NHL, the advanced stats movement was a hot topic this week in New York. In response, the ESPN.com video crew asked every player to define Corsi. The results make for good video, but as a whole, the advanced stats movement hasn't trickled down from the front office to the players.
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was in the majority with his answer, "I know of it, I don't know the definition of it."
A few players were able to answer correctly, most notably Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane and Edmonton Oilers winger Taylor Hall, who gave textbook definitions.

Chasing the Kings: Metropolitan Division
But how many are built to win a championship? In the final installment of Chasing the Kings, we examine each Metro team and how their rosters stack up in five key characteristics that make the Los Angeles Kings great: franchise center, strong top four anchored by legit No. 1 defenseman, playoff tested-goalie, skilled fourth line and players contributing on their entry-level deals.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Franchise center: Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin both qualify here. Crosby received a lot of attention last spring for a subpar, by his standard, postseason.

Chasing the Kings: Central Division
The Chicago Blackhawks brought in Brad Richards to strengthen the team down the middle. The St. Loius Blues added offense in the form of Paul Stastny and Jori Lehtera. The Dallas Stars created another scoring line with the additions of Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky, while the Minnesota Wild landed Thomas Vanek. Not to be outdone, the Nashville Predators signed every other veteran center remaining on the market.
It was a busy and successful offseason for the general managers among some of the Kings' biggest threats in the West, a development that didn't go unnoticed by Kings GM Dean Lombardi.
"Who went backwards?" Lombardi said and then joked that his counterparts in the Eastern Conference needed to pick up the slack.
"Can't they take some of these players?" Lombardi joked.
The Central, already strong, is better than ever and is the league's deepest division. Earlier this week, we identified the five characteristics of the Kings that make them the ideal champion in a cap era: a franchise center, a strong top four anchored by a legit No. 1 defenseman, a playoff-tested goalie, a skilled fourth line and entry-level contributors.
We looked at the Atlantic Division on Wednesday, and here's how the Central stacks up through the lens of those five characteristics

Chasing the Kings: Atlantic Division
On Tuesday, we identified the five characteristics that make the Kings' roster championship caliber and then compared the rest of the Pacific division to see how they stacked up.
We also checked in with Lombardi to see if he felt the five characteristics were an accurate assessment of what is needed to win in today's NHL. It is his team, after all.
The five characteristics: a franchise center, a strong top four on defense with a legitimate No. 1, a playoff-tested goalie, a skilled fourth line and players contributing on entry-level contracts.
His thoughts?
"What you have identified is your micro-core," Lombardi said Tuesday afternoon. "The only debate is the order of the top three. There's always been a hypothetical question in hockey: Who would you take -- Gretzky, Orr or Dryden? Most of the argument would be the goalie or the D. A goalie can make five guys better, a defenseman can make four guys better and a center two."
The final two qualities are especially important in today's NHL, where teams are so evenly matched.
"The fourth one [skilled fourth line] is dead-on. You saw this in the playoffs," Lombardi said. "That's what happened against Chicago. Toews and Kopitar -- nobody beat the other one; they just neutralize each other."
It's up to the players further down the lineup to make the difference. It becomes even more important as Western Conference teams stock second lines to try to get an edge, with the best teams potentially neutralizing each other's entire top six.
The final characteristic -- players contributing on entry-level contracts -- is one he said hasn't always been a necessity but is now.
"That's very new to our sport," he said. "We were fortunate in [2012] when [Jordan] Nolan and [Dwight] King broke through, and this year the other two guys [Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson] ... quite frankly, you might have to move that up to No. 1."
As the season closes in, determining whether or not your team has a legitimate shot at a Stanley Cup can be done in comparing just how closely they're constructed to Lombardi's Kings. We started with the Pacific and continue with the Atlantic, where one team especially stands out as a franchise that is close
