It appears the Thrashers' 8-1 loss to Washington prompted the coaching staff to cancel the team's planned off day on Sunday. The Thrashers held an 11 a.m. practice before the evening's Casino Night fund raiser. I'm afraid I was unable to attend the practice as I was at church when word came down.
I'm told there were no injuries to report, but I will work to get further details.
I think John Anderson made several interesting comments after Saturday's game.
It's the first he admitted that the "high" in "high-scoring" was lacking from his team.
We've talked several times this season about players that are not scoring as they did last season – Todd White, Slava Kozlov, Colby Armstrong, Bryan Little. etc. – but Anderson put an emphasis on the lack of secondary scoring after the game.
Anderson put an onus on the team's defense for allowing too many point-blank shots on the goaltenders.
The coach was careful not to say the team quit but he made it clear they took shots to their "constitution" and "felt sorry" for themselves.
Tuesday's game against Ottawa is critical. That can't be understated. I know it's only one game out of 82. However, where this team is now, and coming off Saturday's loss, how they respond will be an indicator of their ability to turn the season around and get back in the playoff race.
Let's see if I can get to a few questions from the last blog:
CJ Dawg: I am not familiar with the event but I suspect it might have something to do with calling a practice, but that's speculation on my part. I will try to find out.
LAC: Not sure of what you speak. I certainly was there for the entire game and post-game interviews. Perhaps a running version of the story inadvertently got posted online. I will check on that, just for you. Hey wait, you said you wouldn't post here any more and still you do. I know, I know, I'm irresistible.
Sage: I'm neither part of the problem nor part of the solution. I just report on both.
rob: I'm sure, at some point, there will be accountability. Just not sure how and when. Stay tuned. It's all part of the season-long drama.

Why in the world don't we try putting Little back at center? That's what we drafted him to play right? So he had a solid season last year on the RW… that's clearly not the case this season.
How 'bout trying Kovalchuk – Little – Antropov? Both Little AND Antropov return to their original positions. While we're at it, let's put Kane on the second line, centered by Peverly, with Afinegenov on the other wing.
These are the kinds of things I can't help but wonder about, and can't help but blame Anderson for.
January 10th, 2010
2:12 pm
If I were coach for a game, I'd give this a shot:
Kovalchuk – Little – Antropov
Kane – Peverley – Afinegenov
Kozlov – Slater – Armstrong
Boulton – Reasoner – Thorburn
Kubina – Enstrom
Bogosian – Schubert
Hainsey – Salmela

The Capital players noticed we quit. Go ask Brian Pothier. The Atlanta team quit in front of a rare good crowd, there is no way around it. Anderson at least was angry during the game. This season is shaping up to be a disaster. No fight in this team, they tuck tail and give up. Capitals didn't quit, they were still trying to score when it was a snowman for them. BOOland. Give us our money back or put Vivs in net.

This city tries it's VERY BEST to get out and support this team. And it gets rewarded by a thorough b!tchslapping. To the very point where, on the car ride home, you find yourself having to DEFEND THE PURCHASE of the tickets. As in, "Couldn't we have spent the $60 to $240 we did TONIGHT on something else?" It'd cost less than $240 to drive the family to Disney World, round-trip. Twice. How many pairs of shoes could you buy the family for $240? Gazing at the weather forecast, how much is a triple FAT goosedown jacket? I bet you get one, or two, for that price.
To me, the best post I've seen in a quite a while came off of Rawhide's blog, by a poster named B.Thenet. Here's the link: http://blogs.ajc.com/iceman-thrashers-blog/2010/01/10/capitals-build-snowman-in-atlanta/#comment-17651

As much as it pains me to say this, maybe Kari will provide a spark for the team when he gets back. Earlier in the year I was ready to ship him off to anybody that needed a netminder, but now I think he gets a shot to prove himself. He had a very good second half last year and if he can get rolling then maybe this team can get hot again. God knows, Moose and Pavs are not firing on all cylinders right now.

The Good News: the caps are a very good team so it's not a surprise we lost. The Bad News: we can't compete with the big boys.

Reading these blogs we all are all on the same page. I think DW's time has come and we will see no more of him. Thrashers need a good NHL coach JA is not NHL material and either is Pav's. I say send both of their butts back to the AHL or worse yet ECHL (they probably lose there also). We need coaching and goaltending. These are two things we never really had and it shows. Don't count on Kari to save us he is a wash. The Kovy deal is a problem that is why I did not buy season tickets this year. I had a feeling this team would run into this problem. Look at the no shows at the games what a mess. I hate to say it but another year wasted but at least I saved some money.
It won't matter what lines you put on the Ice. JA has lost the respect from the players. His system will not work in the NHL. Just look at the shots on goal every game against the Thrashers. No hustle from the team and no hitting. I blame the coach not DW on that factor of the game. We have some good players unfortunately they are just players not much of that team spirt flying around these days.
One more thing. I always liked Jimbo (Slates) he always skates hard and gives it his all. I agree not the most talented guy on the ice but shows heart. I enjoy the fourth line more so than any other line. Continue to give him the chance to play so far he is the hottest player we have along with Max.
I hope DW and JA get their walking papers sooner than later. Kovy has gave us some good years and sorry to see him go. I hope not but I think so.
Hang in there Thrasher fans some day we will have a team that is NHL ready.

Hey Chris, I think you should do a blog post on yourself/your progress as the Thrashers' beat writer. I think it'd be interesting to see what some of your thoughts and concerns coming into this gig were compared to how you feel about them now. I say this because it's become pretty obvious that you're much more confident in yourself and less tentative now than you were at the start of the season.
January 10th, 2010

NHL Ready, I agree with you – apart from Pavelec that is. I'm with Brendan on this, meaning it will take a few years for him to develop as a steady NHL goalie – perhaps even number one goalie. But Waddell and Anderson should not continue in an organization allegedly aiming to be the winning one. Organizations known for their culture of unaccountability never win.
January 10th, 2010
5:46 pm
Thanks for acknowledging Chris… YEs the even was supposed to be from 8 – 9 AM Sunday morning at Phillips arena, with the game between Peachtree Ridge Lions and Team Quebec (H.S. teams) then at 9:10 I believe there was to be another game with Walton Raiders and Team Quebec.
Even with an 11 AM practice, there is plenty of time to cut the ice, so I have a hard time believing that they would cancel our event for that…
Please do find out and let us know?
Thanks again and I am a new fan of your Blog! :~)

NHL Ready- Re: Anderson and Pavelec losing at the ECHL level: I'm pretty sure Anderson won a Calder Cup (AHL championship) in 2008 with Pavelec as his starting goalie. I think they'd be more than fine in the ECHL.

Well, we'll see on that, Chris (i.e. more the problem or the solution)…Sounds more like a weak excuse to me. When you run articles like Donny's daughter in the paper as opposed to asking questions the FANS demand to ask (even in a 'diplomatic' way), then I consider it case-closed. In that case, you're taking the course of least-resistance–which is fine and your perogative, but it's also coasting and being just as heartless as the players to the people who subsidize their endeavors.
Another thing–Can you stop that pathetic imposter who keeps using my name? How pitiful and sad. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the biggest sheep on here, but is too gutless to post under their own name. You have the (alleged) email. Mine is legit…Feel free to send me the little child's…
Cheers. There comes a time when you must make a decision on what you stand for–and being in the media, it's much different than shlubs here ranting and raving (like myself). With the honor, comes the responsibility. Keep that in mind.
(I'd almost like a estimate on the next "woe-is-Donny" article like that daughter laugher we had to suffer through…)
Think about it. We get what we pay for, in the end…

Disgusted that we are going to have to go thru the whole season with DW, JA, and a disillusioned Kovy. Ilya bought in to the fact that the owners were willing to move forward. Poor kid. DW will sit and spin with a thumb up his ass and keep his job til the end of the year. He knows the deal….sign Kovy or go. He's going to let this dead fruit wither on the vine as long as he can because as soon as it's over, he's out. By playing phone tag with Grossman, he keeps his job.
This franchise is worse than any soap opera on TV and it's run for 11 years so far. Too bad we can't change the channel. Until Waddell goes and takes all of his tiny forwards with him, AND "coach" Weeks too, the fans are left with the crap that continues to be Hockey the Thrashers Way.
Anyone else amazed with what Scott Gordon has done with the Islanders? You can tell they have been "coached up" and they show heart and effort every shift.

Don Waddell seems like one heckuva nice guy but how does a General Manager get away with this nonsense year after year?? Made 1 playoff in 10 years and still has a job?? Is this a joke? The guy is eternally rebuilding and this team never amounts to anything. Don Waddell is the poster child for "The Peter Principle".

The entire organization is dogging it, and no one's being held accountable!
Please just beat the Sens and right the ship already.

Rebuild 2010 includes the fact that only these guys are definitely signed to return:
White (big yip)

No chris, you are as irresistible as having terminal cancer, and my offer still stands, $10,000 against you asking waddell the tough questions, which you NEVER do. So how about punk, man up or shut up, don't hide !
January 10th, 2010
8:54 pm
My question of accountability here can't wait. This effort shows that. Too wait further costs the fans the season. WE pay the money to support their playing a game, so in the end I belive we deserve answers. Not running and hiding and playing all is well when clearly all is not well. This team needs someone to stand up and say enough is enough, both on the ice (players)and off the ice (ownership). Too long this has been an unproductive team.

Well, I say you wait till after Tuesdays Game against Ottawa if Thrashers get crushed. Fire Anderson and hire Bob Hartley back. He is still in town. If you look at our roster we should be winning games. If I was the GM Tuesday's game would be my breaking point. Plus after watching last nights game and Kovy public skating I would love to have Hartley order him down to the end of the bench and bench him. Some on this blog have to remember Hartley doing just that in a game about 4 yeas or so ago. Kovy pitched a fit and broke his stick and pouted like a little child. One of the best quotes from Kovy when Hartley was coach. "Coach and I have lot of conversations, but he makes me a better player" I think we need the hard ass back behind the bench. Remember Coach Scotty Bowman had know problem benching Federov. In fact Bowman had issues with his defensive play so what does Bowman do makes Federov play left defensmen. I think our man Kovy needs the same lesson. I would love to see Coach Anderson start Kovy at right defense and say sink or drown it's up to you. That would be real comedy but I would love to see it.

Some thoughts from a long-time Caps fan:
1. As much as I enjoy watching the Thrashers lose, I sympathize with this town. The ownership stinks, and I know how poor or disinterested ownership affects a franchise. Witness the late Abe Pollin, founder of the Caps. He handcuffed then-GM David Poile from making the transactions necessary to turn a perennial playoff team into a Stanley Cup contender in the mid-80's to early 90's. Frustrating times for us fans. More recently, witness one Daniel Snyder, whose egocentric management has driven a once-proud Redskins franchise into the ground. Poor ownership undermines everything, and I'm afraid that until it's resolved for the Thrashers, it will be more of the same no matter who is in the front office or behind the bench.
2. I truly hope that the NHL stays in Atlanta. Obviously I want to be in attendance when the Caps come to town, but I am also an NHL fan and would like to think that I can come watch any game without having to travel out of town.
3. It was not that long ago that the Caps were the doormat of the NHL while the Thrashers were vying for a playoff spot. They draft a transcendent player, draft pieces like Backstrom and Green, and all of a sudden, they're among the NHL elite. The Thrashers, meanwhile, already had a franchise player in Kovy. They could have followed a similar blueprint, but evidently DW did not enjoy similar success in his picks. Although current ownership will always limit the success of this franchise, a new, competent GM might at least be able to put together a perennial playoff team.
4. When I first moved to Atlanta in 2004, the Caps had recently drafted Ovechkin. The NHL came back in 2005, and I attended the games here. I like to gather at the visiting players bench before the games to wish my team well. At the time, there were very few fans around the bench. Last night, it looked like there were more "Caps" fans at the bench than there were at the home bench. As much as I relish in the new-found popularity of my team, I wonder where these people were during the lean years…and where these people will be when Ovechkin retires or, God forbid, leave the Caps.

I'm hesitant to even jump in here, guys, but the funny thing is … every time I ever talk to a Thrashers ticket rep all they do is bemoan the fact that "the AJC is SO HARD ON THE THRASHERS."
I kid you not. I've heard that from three (3) different reps. "We're fighting this uphill battle against the newspaper." "They slam us at the most inopportune times, like right AFTER we hosted the All-Star Game." And so forth. "And don't get me started on Jeff Schultz. That guy has it out for us."
When the truth I believe is this one. Jeff Schultz, or any other AJC writer, would write more positive articles if there were ACTUALLY something more positive to say. What are they supposed to do? Say that Bruce Levenson is a genius, and we're in very capable hands?" Are they supposed to write that, "if it hand't been for that tornado that ripped through downtown Atlanta last year, that we'd be in the Conference Finals by now?" The truth is … there is so much more than just one playoff berth with no playoff wins. It's about a team that's never had any kind of identity. It's never had a specific strategy. It's tried everything! From being utterly GERIATRIC. To becoming a teenage/young 20's club. It's been a hodge podge of 'Tweeners and also rans. I'd love to corner Don Waddell and ask him, "What the HECK has been your PLAN, from Day One?" What were you trying to do?
For all the flack Brian Burke takes on these boards, you could wake him up from a sound sleep at 3AM, and he'd tell you the strategy. Whether for the Ducks or the Leafs. You can disagree with Burke's strategy. Or you could say, "that wouldn't work here." But you CANNOT take away from him that he, at least, HAS A STRATEGY!! I've followed this team since the day the NHL announced the franchise's existence. The first move Waddell made, his first contract, was Damian Rhodes, a guy Waddell thought would be his ROCK in net. In Waddell's defense, who knew that he'd be so perpetually injured. Who knew that Kari Lehtonen would be so perpetually injured. Who knew that groin injuries would so plague this team, in net. (Dunham, Shields, Garnett, Lehtonen, etc.) Some things … really were just "bad luck." But so many others … were just bad judgement. Let's not review the list. You know what the list is. And ownership can only be blamed for so much of it. Ownership makes budgetary decisions. Ownership doesn't say who to draft, who to trade, or even who to sign. They authorize a budget. Then they leave it to the GM's discretion to go field a roster, with that budget. And, I can only hope, they expect the GM to put the team into the playoffs with consistency. Even if we look at our favorite example of ownership's folly, the Coburn for Zhitnik trade, no member of the ownership could positively identify Alexei Zhitnik in a police lineup, in 2007. All they said was, "The product is failing. Consumer confidence is faltering. Go get a defensemen to quarterback the PP and stabilize our blueline." Waddell got Zhitnik. And in the eyes of ownership, "Mission Accomplished!" The team's season was salvaged, they won the division, and they HOSTED a playoff series. In short, ownership was DELIGHTED with the move(s). Ownership didn't know anything about Zhitnik. I doubt they even knew he was 35 at the time. All I suspect they knew was this: "He had two years remaining on his contract at $3.5 million apiece." See, 'cuz money is PART of BUDGETARY decisions. The "business aspect" of running a team. These owners aren't "hockey savvy." The only one who could even make a claim about hockey knowledge, is Bruce Levenson. And you've seen the effects of his vast hockey judgement. No, Waddell is the brains of the organization. And there it is. Until ownership has some reason, in THEIR minds, to fire him, nothing will change. Nothing. We just have to hope that Waddell continues to learn and grow in his position as GM, to make better decisions and judgement calls.

We need someone to become president the same way Bill Parcells became president for the Dolphins. Someone with a great hockey mind, just give him the keys and he can do what he wants, i.e a GM he hired, a coach, and try to rebuild the roster from ther There was Scotty Bowman a few years back, but we can't live in the past.

8:00 am
I can't believe Chris that you are calling the next game "critical or crucial". That was the last game and the Thrash clearly quit in the 4th quarter. This is a team that has no PRIDE, NO GRIT, and right now- no goaltending. We've got a "C" who seems to "give a s—-" only when he's got a look at the net. None of the so called bruisers are stepping up to try to inject energy by fighting. WHY? Because they know that it won't produce anything. This is a team without a pulse. Pronounce them DOA and let's wait for spring.
January 11th, 2010
8:17 am
The Thrash lose 8-1 and Anderson blames the lack of secondary scoring?!? Maybe a little emphasis on defense and skating would be more in line. Except for 2 shifts, they were not skating at all against the Caps.
January 11th, 2010
9:55 am
God, I hope the rumors are true that Dean Lombardi is in town along with Jay Grossman… I hope that means they are discussing a sign and trade with the Kings!! That should get us a HUGE return… I'll speculate that it will get us Dustin Brown, Frolov and Brayden Schenn… maybe more.

I was at Casino Night last night and it was awesome. Nobody was talking about the "big red elephant" in the room. (Kovy's contract status.) I did however notice that Kovy was noteably absent from the event. He worked his table early on, but disappeared earlier than most of the other players and wasn't around for the auctions as most of the rest of the players were. Take that for what you will, but I think it says a little something.
January 11th, 2010
10:26 am
do any of the (reportedly) interested teams have a solid goalie they might be willing to part with? I would gladly send Pavelec or Lehtonen with Kovalchuk for a forward, a first round pick, and a reliable goalie.
January 11th, 2010
10:31 am
Thrashers27… maybe he got tired of being asked by fans. I would think it's becoming more of a nuisance than a distraction. He's gotta be tired of hearing about it from all angles… media, agents, GM's, players and now a room full of fans.
Casino Night is a great time, hope you enjoyed it… I went two years ago and played at Recchi's table most of the night. I recall Kovy being away from his table a lot, but he was good about taking pictures and signing autographs.
January 11th, 2010

Gunshot Residue Analysis
Suspicious powder was found on several surfaces at two different crime scenes. Your students must determine if the powder is gunpowder or another substance.
Students will do a series of presumptive tests to determine if powder from several surfaces is gunpowder. Then they will learn how to analyze gunpowder with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) using a set of video clips filmed at the SEM lab at Marshall University. Students will receive a hard copy of the graphs, images, and other evidence from the SEM to determine if the substance is indeed gunpowder.

Internet Tax Study Raises More Questions Than Answers
Should products sold over the Internet be tax-free? This question is the focus of an Internet tax study assigned to a 19-member U.S. panel named by Congress. Under a 1998 "cyberlaw," a three-year tax reprieve was set for new state and local Internet taxation to give the panel time to produce the in-depth study.But obtaining funding for the study seems to be as cumbersome as finding an answer to the initial question.

Tax Code Change Could Alter the way Taxpayers Donate Money
Although President Clinton has said he will veto the bill recently passed by Congress that contains a new tax code for charitable donations, the spirit of this provision deserves attention since it is expected to live even if the bill should die. The provision in the Bill set before Clinton gives IRA owners, over age 70 1/2, the ability to donate all or part of their account funds to charity while they are alive.

The increase is due, in part, to the rise in imports and smaller business inventories.

SHERBROOKE, Que. - Meet Dan Hawkins - he's loud and friendly.
"Ma fee ahh aushway!" he shouts happily following the fourth day of Montreal Alouettes training camp. It's some kind of French, and the man from Idaho would've bellowed it as loud on any corner along Rue Sainte-Catherine if he could.
"Accouchée," says Alouettes communications director Charles Rooke, quietly.
"Accouchée!" Hawkins says quickly. "OK, I'm getting there, I'm trying to work on it"
A long time ago, Vince Lombardi said: "Confidence is contagious, so is lack of confidence."
Hawkins is not like the austere, granite-faced Green Bay Packers head coach. He has a bright, oval face, and ostensibly two expressions: smiling and smiling wider. And he hasn't won two Super Bowls.
"Ma...fille... a...accouchée" Hawkins says slowly, acting as if he can't hear Rooke take him gently through each syllable. "Yeah, I'm a grandpa. I had another grandchild today.
"Big news of the day."
What you need to know, less than a week into his professional and CFL head coaching career, is that Dan Hawkins is an uncomplicated man, who shares Lombardi's fondness for uncomplicated creeds.
"Quit trying to win, just be a winner," is what Hawkins is telling the Alouettes — his team — now.
Montreal general manager Jim Popp has always recruited from unconventional places. Hawkins helped make Boise State relevant in NCAA football a decade ago, then wasn't as successful at Colorado State. His record as a college head coach is 112-61-1.
His record as a professional head coach is 0-0-0.
That number will be scrutinized far more intensely than Anthony Calvillo's age — he'll be 41 in August — because Marc Trestman refined NFL quarterbacks — Bernie Kosar, Jake Plummer and Rich Gannon — before leading the Alouettes to back-to-back Grey Cups. He's parlayed those accomplishments into the top job with the Chicago Bears.
The last few years Hawkins worked as a college football analyst for ESPN. So, what has he learned halfway through his first week as a professional head coach?
"You're a professional, right?" Hawkins says, narrowing his eyes, but without a hint of agitation. "So would your boss or your supervisor treat you any different — I would hope not — if you were an intern or you were getting paid?
"I mean, these coaches are professional, so I'm coaching coaches as well. You're always picking things up. I think the biggest thing — for me and these guys — you certainly know things about [players] on film, but all I told them is 'all we know is what we know.'"
That sounds like coach-speak — all cleverly tied words. Don't talk about leading, coach, just lead. And in the middle of the central Quebec countryside — something off J. E. H. MacDonald's easel — Hawkins breaks the green calmness with a bit of West Coast volume.
"Here we go, here we go, here we go!" he shouts as he runs here and there. The sound cuts through the wind and rolls over the hills. Blink and the man in the red cap is behind the quarterbacks near the far end zone. Blink again, he's there pacing around the running backs. Blink, there he is, this time between the tackles before a special teams drill.
He shouts and moves his arms, and his players follow. Give this man the football.
It is the kind of energy Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed has too, but it has been sharpened over nearly 20 years in the CFL. Conversely, if Hawkins's energy and passion is undressed and transparent; he just wants his players to reveal the same.
"Until you see a guy play and perform consistently out here and do it, you build that trust of 'Yeah OK, you're that player' and see him turn it on and turn it off successfully," the coach says. "Then you're going OK he is that player...and you do the same thing in college really."
One of the few times Hawkins stands still is when scuffles flare. Rookie defensive back Michael Parker takes exception to a tackle from slotback Jamel Richardson, and all fall silent as the two broad men curse and grab at one another. They are separated quickly, but the intensity bubbles over. Teammates sneer and hoot at each other. Bodies slam together, harder and harder. Running back Brandon Whitaker says someone pulled him from behind during a scrimmage, sticking his right knee in the turf, irritating the scar tissue of his surgically repaired right knee.
"I know it is a long season, and I told the guys, 'I'm not stupid, I'm really not, and you can't do this everyday, you can't. It is ludicrous,' Hawkins says. "'But when we go, we have to be able to go,' that is what I asked of them, and they did it. I think nothing good happens without passion."
"He just loves what he is doing and you love playing for a guy like that," Whitaker says. "He is the boss."
Hawkins has to be. Decisions in September and October are hard to prepare for in June, but there is one challenge that might be unavoidable: What if there comes a situation where he has to pull Calvillo – still, and forevermore, the most important Alouette — out of a game, because...
"Because, what?" Hawkins asks.
Fill in the blank.
"[Calvillo] is going to be smart with us, whether it is his play or his body or the plays or the people and all that kind of thing. Who knows? Maybe he'll again outlast another coach."
Maybe...but Hawkins is not a promise-maker, not a dreamer, not a planner; he's apparently climbed mountains, ran with bulls, swam with sharks. The tangible is what matters. Consecutive home playoff defeats over the last two seasons, and perhaps an increasing reliance on a thoroughly prepared playbook, have diminished some of aura of dominance that has emanated from the Alouettes for over a decade.
Remember: "Quit trying to win, just be a winner." In the opening nights of training camp, Hawkins showed Calvillo and other players footage of 11-team NBA Champion Bill Russell.
"You say, 'OK quit trying to win, just be a winner,' Well who are the winners? What do they do? You can study the losers as well because you can learn from them, but what do the great ones [do]? That is why I don't read a lot of fiction, because I'm trying to go: What did [an actual person] do? And what can I learn from him? And what can I pass on to the guys? To me, that is how I put together that whole game plan."
Maybe what the Alouettes need now is a man of action. The rookie pro learning drill to drill, too, running around the field, missing only his own pads and cleats. If he had a tether in his hand, he would've pulled 80-odd, massive men with him.
"I don't know the exact word to put for it, but it is definitely exciting," says Whitaker. "When we sit in meetings we get excited. We see the ball going down the field, the runs...it is just little details that we've got to continue to work on."
It's infectious isn't it? "It definitely is, and it rubs off on everybody. Everybody is excited about it."

Got a subscription to Quilter's Newsletter in 1976 and I was hooked. Kept dabbling in quilting while I was raising my children and working. I finally retired and got to really enjoy it. Learned to knit, crochet and tat from a neighbor lady when I was nine. My step-father died when I was 11 and we moved away, but I often wish I could go back and thank her for the wonderful gift she gave me.

Utah's women's basketball team stuck to Stanford like the inversion is hanging onto the Wasatch Front. The Utes never really let the Cardinal breathe easily in Sunday's Pac-12 matchup at the Huntsman Center.
Unfortunately for the Utes, Stanford had enough firepower to elevate itself out of Utah's grasp, taking a 70-56 victory in front of 1,191 spectators.
No. 4 Stanford 70,Utah 56In short » Utah stays close to the Cardinal but never leads after the first minute. Key moment » Stanford's Amber Orrange makes two free throws with 4:30 remaining to put the Cardinal ahead 60-50.
Key stat » Utah's Taryn Wicijowski and Michelle Plouffe combine to shoot just 7-for-25.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Utes (9-4, 0-2 Pac-12), who were coming off a 55-50 loss to No. 7 Cal on Friday, played the No. 4 Cardinal (13-1, 2-0) closer than many probably expected, with Utah within single digits of Stanford for much of the contest.
But in the end, forward Chiney Ogwumike proved too much for the Utes.
She finished the game with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
It was the second big game in a row for Ogwumike, who posted 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks in Stanford's 57-40 victory over No. 20 Colorado on Friday.
Utah forwards Michelle Plouffe and Taryn Wicijowski, who are tied for fourth in the Pac-12 averaging 16.3 points a game, had a rough day going up against Stanford's sizable lineup. Wicijowski finished with nine points and Plouffe had 10.
Guard Iwalani Rodrigues led the Utes with 21 points.
Rather than being dejected with the back-to-back losses, the Utes were encouraged by their play against the ranked teams.
"We had two tough games this weekend with Cal and Stanford, but it's only the beginning," Plouffe said. "It's a good start for us. We know we can compete with these teams. We came out and did that, and it will give us some confidence going into the next week's play."
The Utes play at Colorado on Tuesday, prompting Utah coach Anthony Levrets to joke that "someone must not like Utah," due to the rigorous schedule.
"I am proud of the team's effort this weekend," he said. "I don't think the score is indicative of what that battle was today. Two things we have to understand is we can't have moral victories anymore. We have to put some wins together. But we also have to understand the conference schedule is two months long, not a one-week deal, and it will balance out. It's never easy, but we have to keep our heads up and continue to get better and it will balance out."
Utah's last gasp with the Cardinal came when Plouffe made a 3-pointer with five minutes to go to cut Stanford's lead to 56-50. Ogwumike drove hard to the basket at the other end to put the Cardinal ahead 58-50 with 4:58 remaining. The Cardinal finished the game on a 14-6 run.
As good as Ogwumike was, Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer credited Sara James for being the difference in the game. James finished with 18 points, shooting 6-for-8 as she filled in for Toni Kokenis, who missed the game due to illness.
"Every team we play gives us their best effort, and Utah has a nice team with good inside and outside presence," VanDerveer said. "But for us, when I watch the highlights, we depend on Amber Orrange and Chiney, but Sara James really made the difference."

The altar is a cabinet that enshrines and protects the Gohonzon. Understand the meaning of altar items.
Nichiren Daishonin was born in 1222 in Japan, a time rife with social unrest and natural disasters. The common people, especially, suffered enormously. Nichiren wondered why the Buddhist teachings had lost their power to enable people to lead happy, empowered lives.While a young priest, he set out to find an answer to the suffering and chaos that surrounded him. His intensive study of the Buddhist sutras convinced him that the Lotus Sutra contained the essence of the Buddha's enlightenment and that it held the key to transforming people's suffering and enabling society to flourish.
The Lotus Sutra affirms that all people, regardless of gender, capacity or social standing, inherently possess the qualities of a Buddha, and are therefore equally worthy of the utmost respect.
Based on his study of the sutra, Nichiren established the invocation, or chanting, of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a universal practice to enable people to manifest the Buddhahood inherent in their lives and gain the strength and wisdom to challenge and overcome any adverse circumstances. Nichiren saw the Lotus Sutra as a vehicle for people's empowerment—stressing that everyone can attain enlightenment and enjoy happiness in their present existence.
Nichiren traveled to Kamakura, Japan's political capital, where he continued to expound his teachings, gaining both followers and adversaries. His persecutions worsened after he submitted a treatise titled, "On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land," which drew a direct correlation between the national calamities and the practice of erroneous teachings, warning of internal strife and foreign invasion if the nation stayed on its current course. Nichiren was critical of the established schools of Buddhism that relied on state patronage and merely served the interests of the powerful while encouraging passivity in the suffering masses. He called the feudal authorities to task, insisting that the leaders bear responsibility for the suffering of the population and act to remedy it. His stance, that the state exists for the sake of the people, was revolutionary for its time.
Nichiren's claims invited an onslaught of often-violent persecutions from the military government and the established Buddhist schools. He refused to compromise his principles to appease those in authority. Wherever he went, regardless of personal risk, he continued to share Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, converting many people to his teachings.
He admonished the government and religious authorities for slandering the Lotus Sutra. As a result, Nichiren was arrested on trumped-up charges on September 12 and sentenced to exile. The chief of military police, Hei no Saemon, attempted to have him executed at Tatsunokuchi. Nichiren's absolute confidence in his teaching and his role in its propagation, together with the appearance of a bright object in the sky—probably a meteor—caused the military to call off the execution, and Nichiren was sent into exile on the remote and bleak island of Sado.
There he and a single faithful follower, Nikko Shonin, lived in a tumbledown shack, in an area where corpses were abandoned without burial. Nichiren wrote several crucial treatisesduring this period, despite the harsh physical circumstances, which gradually improved as they gained support from among the local populace.
His prophecy of "internal strife" was fulfilled in 1272, as the ruling clan of Japan fell to fighting amongst themselves.
Two years later, pardoned by the government, Nichiren Daishonin returned to Kamakura, to repeat his warning of foreign invasion. Though he was given a hearing this time, and treated more respectfully, he was still not taken seriously.
Sure the government would never heed him, Nichiren left Kamakura in May 1274 to live in retreat at the foot of Mount Minobu, where he continued writing the many letters he sent to individual followers throughout his life. In October that year, the Mongols attempted the invasion he had long predicted. Though Nichiren could only lament the agony it caused the Japanese people, it surely strengthened his determination to lessen human suffering.
Throughout the next several years, with Nichiren's encouragement, his close disciples continued to propagate his teachings, especially converting many in the Atsuhara area. As more people were converted, including priests of other Buddhists schools, tensions from the government and leaders of other Buddhist schools rose toward Nichiren and his followers. Nichiren's followers endured heavy persecution, displaying their commitment to follow his teachings despite obstacles.
Most notable was the Atsuhara persecution, in which 20 of his followers were arrested and tortured. Unwavering in their faith, three of them were later executed. Moved by the courageous faith of the Atsuhara farmers, on October 12, 1279, Nichiren inscribed the Dai-Gohonzon, of which all Gohonzon are replicas, with the intention of enabling all humanity to attain Buddhahood everywhere and at any time.
Three years later, on October 13, 1282, watched over by disciples chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Nichiren passed away in Ikegami, near modern-day Tokyo.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: TIBX DF BIDU DFS O XLNX (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:12 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Wednesday:
Cramer said investors are looking for hot tech names that haven't moved much and Tibco Software (TIBX) would be one of those names. He was also bullish on Dean Foods (DF), a stock he called inexpensive.
Shares of TIBX ended Tuesday up 11.3% to $23.38 while DF was up 2.3% to $17.30.Cramer said shares of Baidu.com (BIDU) are not cheap if the rumors of increased competition are true, but he had kind words for Discover Financial (DFS), calling the company "rock solid." BID fell 1.6% to $89.93 but DFS rose 1.8% to $41.29. Cramer was also bullish on Realty Income (O), saying this REIT still gives investors a real opportunity for growth. He was also upbeat on Xilinx (XLNX), calling the company a secular winner. O ended Tuesday down 1.2% to $46.05 but XLNX rose 1% to $37.47.

A Sanger man who was convicted of murdering his wife could soon be out of jail after serving only three years.
On Friday, the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth acquitted Charles Stobaugh.
A jury found him guilty in 2011 for the 2004 murder of Kathy Stobaugh, even though her body was never found.
During the trial prosecutors argued Kathy wanted a divorce, but that her husband did not. She disappeared after going to visit him. Her car, purse and cellphone were all found in his driveway.
The appeals court ruled there was not enough evidence to support the conviction.
"Charles perfected this appeal, raising six points. His first point challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction; he points out that Kathy has never been located—dead or alive, either during the seven years before his 2011 trial or since—and contends that no physical, forensic, or direct evidence was presented at trial linking him to the alleged offense of murder," Justice Sue Walker wrote in her opinion.
Kathy's brother Chris Munday said the decision basically says if you kill someone and hide the body well of enough you get off. He's taking comfort in knowing his sister is in heaven with their mother.
The Denton County District Attorney's office can now file for a rehearing and if it's denied they have 30 days to appeal in Austin.
It is unclear if or when Stobaugh will be freed.
He is represented by Reagan Wynn, the same attorney that argued 16-year-old Ethan Couch suffered from "affluenza" and only deserved probation after killing four people in a drunken driving crash.

When you're planning to decorate a nursery, you have more to be concerned about than just the color scheme. Safety, accessibility, convenience, appearance and the application of the test of time all come into play in nursery decorating. You want the room to be comfortable for you and your little one while they're young. But if you make alterations that are difficult to change, you'll run into trouble when you have to redecorate because she's gotten older.
Before you confirm your final design plans, consider ways to add those touches you want in the nursery without installing permanent fixtures, such as vinyl wall art. Vinyl wall art consists of pieces and decals you can apply to the wall without damaging the paint underneath.
Theme Selection
Pick a theme that reflects the mood you want to set in the room. Cartoon themes are not off the table if you have a particular favorite and want the room to reflect happy memories of your childhood. But don't feel as if you must select a very specific theme and make the entire room revolve around it, as that may get exhausting and expensive. More general themes include those based around color, such as green and blue, or themes in general areas, such as marine life or the stars.
Once you've chosen your theme, look for vinyl art that fits it. For example, if your theme is nature, you could get vinyl wall decals of trees, animals and other relevant silhouettes. If you have something specific in mind, you may be able to get the decal made at a custom vinyl art retailer.
Make sure the materials you choose to do the nursery are safe for the baby and easy to clean while achieving the look you were aiming for. Read all labels before you buy so you know what you're getting. If you're not certain about the safety of a particular material, do some research before you buy.
Vinyl art is safe wall decor and easy to clean. The surface is cleanable with just water and very mild soap if necessary. Follow all cleaning instructions you receive with your wall art to avoid damaging the piece. If you use harsh or inappropriate cleaner, you may expose your infant to chemicals and ruin the wall art.
Use Your Imagination
You don't have to stick to animals or other plain shapes for your wall art. You can do your child's name or create a scene, such as a flower losing petals in the wind. If you get wall art with a multi-piece design, mark the placement with pencil before you apply so you know exactly where to place the parts to get the look you're aiming for.
You can also work vinyl art in between immovable structures in the room. For example, if you have pillars running up and down a wall, you can use the pillars as part of your scene.
Once you've chosen all the pieces for your nursery, visualize what the room will look like once it's complete, with mattresses and crib in place. If you're not satisfied, return to your original plans to determine what's missing.

Let me get straight to the point today; it may just save your life!
Insulin resistance is a significant danger to your health and puts you at risk for diabetes, heart attack, stroke, cancer, depression, dementia and death. You need to know if you are one of between an estimated 70 to 100 million North Americans who are insulin resistant?
After you eat, your pancreas secretes the hormone insulin which is responsible for taking carbohydrates in the form of glucose out of your blood (absorbed from your intestines) and putting them into cells where they can either be used for energy or stored for future energy needs.
If you are insulin resistant, you are less able to transport the carbohydrates and sugars from the bloodstream and your blood sugars rise. This triggers more insulin secretion by the pancreas in the hopes of getting sugar out of the blood and into your cells where it is needed.
With the progression of time and more insulin resistance, you become unable to keep sugar levels in reasonable ranges and this is what leads to diabetes. However, high insulin levels (sometimes referred to as "pre-diabetes") should be sounding your alarm bells because it is the high levels of insulin that lead to weight gain and the storage of excess fat especially around the belly.
Insulin at elevated levels also drives inflammation and oxidative stress which lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thick and easily coagulating blood and much more.
Now here's the way for you to answer my initial question. If you are feeling well, your weight is appropriate for your height and body type and you do not have a "belly," then chances are you are not an insulin resistor.
If on the other hand, you are overweight, have a bigger tummy than you would like or have any doubts then the only way to go is this…
* A fasting insulin test and in fact if you have a history of having slightly high sugars then you should also have a 2 hour insulin and sugar test following a 75g glucose load. (Have you even heard of these tests before?)
These tests done at a laboratory will give you your answer. If your insulin levels are out of normal range then it is time to make some urgent and significant life changes.
Normal insulin levels are < 5 – 10 IU/dl fasting and < 30 IU/dl 2 hours after a glucose load. For those who do the SI units the numbers correspond to < 35- 50 pmol/L fasting and < 210 pmol/L after the glucose load.
Later this week I'll get into what to do about insulin resistance. In the meantime, answer my question and keep prevention on your radar.

As we enter into the depths of the holiday season, Boulder has temporarily slowed down on hosting environmental and science events. Instead of listing events this week, as we usually do at The Boulder Stand, we've written up a short list of destinations in Boulder, and its surrounds, that are well worth visiting over the weekend or during the holidays. From swimming with sharks to learning more about our solar system, there is plenty to do.

91 pts. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate: December, 2010
The 2008 Alpha Syrah is purple/black in color with an alluring nose of smoke, game, mineral, underbrush, and blueberry. Medium- to full-bodied, succulent and chewy on the palate, this lengthy effort is likely to evolve for 1–2 years but can be approached now.
- 90
90 pts. Wine Spectator: October 15, 2010
A ripe, up-front style, displaying lots of briar, anise, plum cake and fig flavors that push through the juicy, full-bodied finish. Very solid. Drink now.
- 89
89 pts. Wine Enthusiast: December 1, 2010
Opens nicely, with hints of olive, earth, rubber and leather. The palate is juicy and lively, while flavors of coconut, toast and black fruit meld together in good fashion. A fresh, clean style of Syrah that's forward but not hard or tannic.

Can anyone help
just installed Deep security 7.5 and from what i can see everything looks ok but know i want to test that it works, does anyone know how to test to see if it works should a virus be downloaded.
I did download the test virus file eicar.com to a server that the Deep Security manager is saying is protected by the virtual appliance but nothing happened, could it be that this file does not work in that environment or am i missing something.
I am working in a VmWare environment with VShield Manager installed.
any help would be great
You need to make sure the machine you are testing on has the vShield Endpoint driver (from VMWare) also installed. Once that is in place, go ahead and check your Deep Security Manager console and make sure you activate that VM where the driver was installed.
You should see it as Managed (Online) with the Anti-Malware component saying "On". Make sure you set Anti-Malware configurations for the VM as well after activating to make sure it is catching viruses during the times and on the directories you'd want it to.

For most adults, defensive driving was the focus of driver's ed -- but now, instructors are trying steer teens away from being distracted on the road.
As the memorial for the two teens who died in Burnsville on Tuesday grows, so too does the understanding of what it takes to be a teen driver.
At Elite Driving School in Richfield, James Kilibarda speaks with his students about distracted driving each and every day.
"Food, make-up, iPods, music -- all these things are distractions," Kilibarda explained.
Talking about distractions is one thing, but telling the real story of two teens dying is another. He says the recent tragedy shows that people drivers to be leaders in the car.
"You have to be the mature one. You are responsible. You have to say, 'Guys, relax, shut up,'" Kilibarda said.
Kilibarda stresses that both drivers and passengers need to speak up so a driver can concentrate when distractions threaten the safety of the trip.
The number of young people inside a car is also a huge topic in the class, because having just one person under the age of 21 increases a 16- or 17-year-old driver's chance of dying by 44 percent. Two people doubles that risk. Three young people will quadruple the risk.
Unsurprisingly, teens focus on the road more with an adult in the car, and Kilibarda said it's crucial that parents be leaders by practicing what they preach.
