Whereas: Coal dependent electric utilities face numerous challenges and uncertainty from coal prices and volatility, competition from alternative generating sources, and costs of environmental compliance.
The merger with Allegheny Energy increased FirstEnergy's reliance on coal-fired generation from 7,469 MW of capacity (54.2% of total) to 14,863 MW (64% of total). The average age of the company's 55 coal units is 50 years, the majority of which are merchant generators; 16% of the coal fleet lacks required pollution controls.
Combined, FirstEnergy and Allegheny sourced 67% of their coal from Central Appalachia and 29% from Powder River Basin in 2010. Between December 2009 and October 2011, Central Appalachian coal prices increased 48% and Powder River Basin coal increased 78%. Analysts predict continued upward pressure on coal prices with more erratic price swings.
Deutsche Bank calculates that it is more economical to burn natural gas than coal to generate electricity when natural gas costs $4-6/mmBtu. The Henry Hub price for natural gas through 2025 is under $6. Lazard Ltd. calculated the levelized cost of electricity for wind, in most cases, as less than that for coal; thin-film solar, biomass, and geothermal are, in many cases, less than that for coal.
Coal dependent utilities face increased capital cost for coal plant emissions controls. While EPA has agreed to ease or delay some new regulations for power plant pollution, it is moving, pursuant to court order, to adopt new rules that will keep 91% of coal's mercury emissions from the air. Analysts estimate compliance costs for mercury could cause retirement of 61-75 GW of U.S. coal-fired generation capacity. Utility analysts agree that older, smaller coal plants without control technology and much of the nation's merchant coal fleet are uneconomical and should be retired.
Fitch Ratings estimates that 4,264 MW of FirstEnergy's coal capacity is at risk of retirement. FirstEnergy recorded a $69 million write down for two coal units retired at R.E. Burger plant.
In response to the economic downturn, decreased demand, and uncertainty regarding environmental compliance, FirstEnergy reduced generation at four of its smaller coal-fired plants. Allegheny placed several coal-fired plants in reserve status due to economic conditions and lower market prices for electricity. FirstEnergy estimates capital expenditures between $2 and $3 billion over 5 to 7 years for compliance with Cross State Air Pollution Rule alone. To meet state renewable portfolio standards, FirstEnergy is procuring renewable energy credits rather than investing in renewable energy capacity.
Resolved: Shareowners request that FirstEnergy Board of Directors report to shareholders by December 2012, at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, on plans to reduce our company's exposure to coal-related costs and risks, including progress toward achieving specific goals to minimize commodity risks, emissions other than greenhouse gases, and costs of environmental compliance.

Minn Kota® Riptide ST RT80 Bow-mount 24V 80 lb. Thrust Saltwater Trolling Motor with Autopilot
Item # WX2-181149
- Details & Specs
Minn Kota® Riptide ST Bow-mount Saltwater Trolling Motor with Co-PilotTM.
You also get unequaled corrosion protection, plus battery-maximizing, power-conserving Digital MaximizationTM. It all comes powered by a beefy Weedless Wedge 2TM prop, and backed by Minn Kota's famous cool, quiet power. Take your pick of 55- (RT55), 80- (RT80), or 101-thrust power (RT101)... see the chart below for more details on the features and choices available.
Even more: Check out all the ways Co-Pilot can help you nab more fish:- Advanced Autopilot- simply point in the direction you want to go, keeps you on a GPS-perfect course while compensating for drift and wind
- Copilot- control speed, steering, on / off, and high-speed bypass, all right from your remote! Frees you up to fish anywhere on the boat.
Larger brushes, windings and commutators generate less heat, less noise and run cooler-- extending motor life and conserving battery power. You get greater sustained thrust and more time on the water. A unique bearing system produces low rpms / high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise-- so quiet they'll never hear you coming.
Digital MaximizerTM: Instead of wasting energy with a constant flow of power, Digital Maximizer delivers only what's needed... a precise amount of power at any setting, along with variable speed control. The bottom line is more time on the water for you.
Autopilot:Constantly repositioning and readjusting your boat wastes valuable fishing time. That's why the patented Autopilot does the navigating for you! Lock Autopilot onto your desired heading, and it will automatically and continuously make adjustments to keep your boat moving in the right direction. Available on select models (see chart below).
Indestructible Composite Shaft:Guaranteed by Minn Kota for life! Pound for pound, it's stronger than steel. Shaft flexes on impact and won't break, kink, or corrode.
Weedless WedgeTM 2 Prop:Only Minn Kota's Weedless Wedge 2 Prop can push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. They've improved the legendary design with swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.
Innovative Stow and Deploy:Easy in, easy out! That's the thinking behind the new mechanism. Balanced motor design makes stowing easy, and a master cut-off switch automatically turns off the power when stowed.

This is a wonderful piece of modelling by Tyler Halliwell. Neil Gaiman's character Morpheus (or Dream) from his Sandman comic series has a very distinctive look with his pale emaciated face and dark hair flying in all directions.
Those are not easy things to recreate in LEGO form. And yet with this bust of Dream, Halliwell has done exactly that. He's even managed to recreate the creepy pitch black eyes that burn.

Devils dropped on home ice
With nothing to play for until the post-season tournaments starts, the North Delta Devils dropped a 4-1 decision to the Richmond Sockeyes Saturday night at the Sungod Arena.
The Sockeyes, battling the Abbotsford Pilots for first place in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League (PIJHL), outscored the Devils by a goal in each period to move to within a point of top spot. Richmond led 1-0 and 3-1 at the period breaks, and netted the only goal of the final frame.
Kyle Brown scored the lone Devils goal, with an assist from Shane Goutsis.
Josh Krenus went the distance in goal, stopping 35 shots at the Sockeyes held a 35-39 advantage.
North Delta killed off six of seven Sockeyes powerplays, while failing to score with six man-advantage opportunities.
Destined for a sixth place finish in the eight-team PIJHL, the Devils will face either the Grandview Steelers or Ridge Meadows Flames in the first round of the playoffs.
In the race for third place and a playoff pairing with North Delta, the Steelers have a two-point lead on Ridge Meadows with each team having two games to play.
The Devils will close out the regular season next Saturday at 8:30 p.m. at the Sungod Arena.

N.Z. Dollar Rises to '08 High Versus Yen Amid Global Stock Rally
John Detrixhe and Masaki KondoNew Zealand's dollar gained to the highest in more than four years versus the yen as optimism U.S. corporate earnings will extend a third year of growth boosted global stocks.
The so-called kiwi remained higher against the U.S. dollar following an advance yesterday. The Australian currency's advance was tempered after a government report showed the nation's retail sales unexpectedly fell.
"It's more just an improvement in risk sentiment in general than something very specific to kiwi," Sireen Harajli, a foreign-exchange strategist in New York at Credit Agricole SA, said in a telephone interview. "It tends to be a favorite currency right now."
New Zealand's currency reached 73.94 yen, the highest since Sept. 22, 2008, before trading at 73.85, up 0.1 percent from the close yesterday in New York. It was at 83.95 U.S. cents following a 0.4 percent advance to 83.96. The Aussie dollar added 0.1 percent to 92.45 yen and was little changed at $1.0509.
The MSCI World Index of shares gained 0.4 percent yesterday, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 0.3 percent in New York. Fourth-quarter profit at companies in the S&P 500 probably increased 2.9 percent, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg, extending a three-year expansion while marking the second-slowest quarterly growth since 2009.
Australian retail sales declined 0.1 percent in November from a month earlier, the Bureau of Statistics said yesterday. Economists in a Bloomberg survey had forecast a 0.3 percent increase.

It was my first call as head pastor. Before coming to this Sacramento church, I had ably served another as youth pastor, but like many young men, I had been itching for my own command. When I interviewed for the position, I remember saying brash things ...
Displaying 13 of 3 comments
Maurice Smith
Mark, I think you handled Stanley in exactly the correct way. What I hear you saying is that not everyone is a Stanley. I agree. An old mentor of mine, Harold O.J. Brown, once told a class of 300 eager Campus Crusade students (I was Joe's teaching assistant that summer), "Authority is the ability to command voluntary obedience". After all these years I've never fogotten Joe's words. A genuinely Christ-like example gives leaders the "authority" to "command" the voluntary obedience of those around us. And for the Stanley's of the Church, there's still the direct approach.
Pax Paws
Mark, pls hear my gentle voice: Are you basically saying that a lot of Pastors out there who feel unloved, & thus are fearful of confronting their people & are feeling bullied by their Boards? In all honesty, I saw your straight-forward dialogue with Stanley as effective, loving, and instructive. You said that the discussion was fear-based, but perhaps it was just normal nerves when one addresses another about a perceived wrong. Stanley certainly respected your directness, it appears. But this really isn't about you, or Stanley. If church families that have poor ways of handling disputes or disagreements... if we have church families where a leader feels disrespected, or ANY MEMBER feels disrespected... we have serious need of changing the way we do things. If we are indeed listening to HIM, there will be no power plays by any, at any cost. Perhaps we need to re-examine the authority we were ALL purposed to have to build mature disciples... and stop feeding Churchianity.

RALEIGH, N.C. –Campbell Law's Old Kivett Advocacy Council (OKAC) hosted the 2012 Richard A. Lord Moot Court Competition, Sept. 26 – Sept. 29, at the law school. Approximately 118 second-year students and 150 guest judges, including more than 70 Campbell Law alumni, participated in the action.
Retired Campbell Law Professor Rick Lord poses with students
This year's problem featured a legislative act, "The Drug Free Texifornia Act of 2010," which was passed amidst the rising abuse of crystal methamphetamine in the fictional state of "Texifornia." The Drug Free Act prohibited certain methods of advertising for products containing the active ingredient pseudoephedrine, which is used to produce crystal meth. Arguments were required to address two issues: first, whether a company that is subjected to a speech restriction may bring a pre-enforcement challenge to that statute if the Attorney General has stated that the provision will not be enforced and, second, whether the Drug Free Act's in-store advertising provision infringes on the company's First Amendment rights.
The final round was judged by the competition's namesake, retired Campbell Law Professor Rick Lord, as well as The Honorable Robert H. Edmunds, Jr., Associate Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, The Honorable Willis P. Whichard, former justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court and former dean of Campbell Law, and Timothy G. Nelson, associate at Brooks Pierce.
Katie Greene and Elizabeth Wilkinson were declared winners of the competition, while Harper Gwatney and Lily Van Patten also served as finalists. Mary Claire Brown and Sarah Edwards collected the Best Brief award, while Brown also received the Rick Edmundson Award. Best Oralist was awarded to Colin McGrath.
Comprised of 12 third-year and second-year students, the OKAC annually organizes the Richard A. Lord Intramural Moot Court Competition, the Campbell Law Negotiation Intramural Competition, and the Richard T. Bowser Intramural Client Counseling Competition.
Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. The school has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,400 alumni, including more than 2,400 who reside and work in North Carolina. For 26 years, Campbell Law's overall record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam has been unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school. In September 2009, Campbell Law relocated to a state-of-the-art building in downtown Raleigh. For more information, visit http://law.campbell.edu.

On the latest episode of "The Blacklist," Elizabeth's father is dying from cancer and Reddington steps in to "help" him — and perhaps protect his own secret?
The Case of the Week
But first. Justin Kirk guest-stars as Nathaniel Wolf, a man purporting to be General Ludd, the leader of some modern-day Luddites — a group aiming to "wash away the greedy … oligarchs of corporate America who've destroyed the middle class on whose backs this country was built."
He uses some domestic terrorism as a way to make sure his trucking company is transporting money and, more importantly, the new blueprint for the 100-dollar bill, which he tries to swap out with a fake, thus ensuring millions of counterfeit bills are minted. But Reddington stops him (taking the blueprint for himself, of course).
Keen and Red
Elizabeth's father Sam has weeks to live, since his cancer has returned and spread to his liver. Red goes to see him on his private plane and it is heavily implied, though never stated outright, that Red is Elizabeth's father and Sam just raised her after taking her in at the age of four.
Red ends Sam's suffering before Elizabeth can get there, however. The act of killing Sam is somewhat out of caring for his old friend, but more so that Sam doesn't spill the beans to Elizabeth on his deathbed.
RELATED: Megan Boone is One to Watch for fall 2013
However. Right at the end of the episode, Red is given access to ViCAP, where he looks up a young woman named Lucy Brooks, aka Katherine Hayne, Molly Paplow, Kara Lewis and Erin Lissel. She's from Fulton, Maryland and is 30 years old. How exactly does she figure into everything? Is she Red's daughter, the one he abandoned back in 1990? And how does she figure into the photo Red removed from The Stewmaker's book (which had the number 479 12 90 on it). Was that his wife?
This whole episode raises some questions about Elizabeth's past. We know her father was a career criminal who abandoned her and her mother and her mother subsequently died. Presumably that's when Sam took her in?
Elizabeth has also said the scar on her hand is from a fire when she was 14 years old and that her father gave it to her. Was Sam abusive? Was it an accident? Or was she not referring to Sam when she said that? Perhaps her biological father came back into her life and burned her?
But that bio dad would still not be her true biological father if Reddington is her father. Yet Red said in that house he bought and then blew up that that is where he raised his family — that has to be in reference to the wife and daughter he abandoned.
Sure, it's possible Red is the "career criminal" who abandoned Lizzie and her mother, but that still doesn't explain who burned her at 14, because Elizabeth seems far too attached to Sam for it to have been him — she made it sound like it was on purpose, we think. And wouldn't she remember if it was Reddington? Plus, that doesn't seem like something he would do.
Is it possible Red fathered Elizabeth with the "career criminal's" wife (either beknownst or unbeknowst to said criminal), then career criminal abandoned Elizabeth and her mom and then Sam took Elizabeth in, all the while Reddington had his own family that included this Lucy Brooks? And Elizabeth, essentially, has three "fathers" running around — Reddington, the abandoning career criminal and then Sam?
There's a lot happening here, clearly, and we can't wait to see what's coming next.
Best Line: "I have no interest in cases I have no interest in." — Reddington

Saudi Arabia To Issue Airport Bonds
Saudi Arabia's government will issue bonds next year backed by the kingdom's ministry of finance to fund construction work at airports in Riyadh and Jeddah, Finance Minister Ibrahim Alassaf told Al Arabiya television.
"The rest of the bonds for King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah and King Khaled Airport in Riyadh will be issued this (coming) year," Alassaf said.
The kingdom's General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) said in January it planned to issue a second sukuk, or Islamic bond, at the end of 2012 to help fund its SAR27 billion riyal (USD$7.2 billion) airport in Jeddah.
A first sukuk, launched earlier this year and fully guaranteed by the Saudi Ministry of Finance, raised SAR15 billion riyals to help fund the Jeddah airport development.
Last year, industrial conglomerate Saudi Bin Laden Group won the contracts to develop the first phase of the Jeddah airport, raising its annual capacity to 30 million passengers.
Saudi Arabia is currently investing in multi-billion dollar infrastructure projects and revamping many of its airports to cater to a growing number of passengers.

We're talking about wired connections here, in particular, the advantages of a standard connector over a proprietary "dock" connector.
There are pros and cons on both sides. You see your points as advantages, but, as indicated above in the "why nerds can't market to the masses", none of that matters to most consumers out there.

Objective. The success of central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention programs in intensive care units (ICUs) has led to the expansion of surveillance at many hospitals. We sought to compare non-ICU CLABSI (nCLABSI) rates with national reports and describe methods of surveillance at several participating US institutions.Design and Setting. An electronic survey of several medical centers about infection surveillance practices and rate data for non-ICU patients.Participants. Ten tertiary care hospitals.Methods. In March 2011, a survey was sent to 10 medical centers. The survey consisted of 12 questions regarding demographics and CLABSI surveillance methodology for non-ICU patients at each center. Participants were also asked to provide available rate and device utilization data.Results. Hospitals ranged in size from 238 to 1,400 total beds (median, 815). All hospitals reported using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definitions. Denominators were collected by different means: counting patients with central lines every day (5 hospitals), indirectly estimating on the basis of electronic orders (), or another automated method (). Rates of nCLABSI ranged from 0.2 to 4.2 infections per 1,000 catheter-days (median, 2.5). The national rate reported by the CDC using 2009 data from the National Healthcare Surveillance Network was 1.14 infections per 1,000 catheter-days.Conclusions. Only 2 hospitals were below the pooled CLABSI rate for inpatient wards; all others exceeded this rate. Possible explanations include differences in average central line utilization or hospital size in the impact of certain clinical risk factors notably absent from the definition and in interpretation and reporting practices. Further investigation is necessary to determine whether the national benchmarks are low or whether the hospitals surveyed here represent a selection of outliers.

Make a selection, bid and buy your machinery now!
Metalworking Machines
Metalworking machines include a lot more than is commonly thought. Metalworking machines do not just encompass bending and milling metal products. It also includes surface treatment, refining and changing the material characteristics of a workpiece. These machines are usually stable therefore to buy used metalworking machinery would be a good idea to save costs.
Forming Metal with metal machines
There are three different types of metalworking processes. "Forming" within metal production includes everything that has to do with casting metal to produce finished products. This includes casting, injection moulding and die casting processes. These differ greatly in terms of their structure, type and size. Cast products are produced in a foundry. The prepared molds are filled with liquid metal directly out of the furnace using heavy lathes. This work can be undertaken with remote control, but it cannot be done automatically with the proper equipment. Die casting machines only have a small supply for molten metal, but this is continually refilled. They can automatically produce a large amount of finished die cast products.
The second form of metalworking is usually called "
forming". This is when plastic or cold pre-products are shaped using a specific application of pressure. This includes bending, forging and pressing processes. There are a large number of metalworking machines, which could be used to undertake these processes.
The third metal forming process is separation, which is undertaken through processes without a tool including turning, milling, cutting, burning and sawing, or when using equipment, punching.
Treating Metal Surfaces
The treatment of metal surfaces is undertaken to protect the workpiece against corrosion, for aesthetic reasons and to improve the mechanical characteristics of the material. These processes include grinding, targeted roughening and polishing. There are various metal working machines used for these processes including grinding machines and sand blasters. Because of this is recommendable to buy used metal working machinery and with that save some money.
Galvanizing and pigment based processes are used to coat metal. The galvanizing processes are characterized by their ability to produce permanent surfaces. This includes galvanizing, chrome plating and gold plating. Galvanizing and chrome plating are technically very demanding processes. Therefore, pigment based processes are usually used where it the technical requirements are not as high. This includes powder coating and lacquering. There are technical solutions and special metalworking machines available for both processes as well as used metal working machinery should be considered as they are totally profitable.
Changing Material Characteristics
Cast and forged products usually do not have the desired characteristics and so after the forming processes, annealing and hardening processes are used. Furnaces and hardening metalworking machines are available for this task. These are also included under the overarching term of used metal working machinery.
Suppliers of Used Metal working Machinery and Equipment
Frech, Urpe and Wotan have been established manufacturers for forming machines and equipment like die casting machines for decades. Bending machines are supplied by Schechtl, Zopf, Sahinler and Fasti. Milling machines are available from Baeurle, Dmu and Brandt. CNC machines are extremely popular and used by many TRAUB being one of the most popular manufactures of great quality equipment for metal working uses. Used metalworking machinery for sale could be found in Trademachines.com where auctioneers have good offers to buy used metalworking machinery.

We're in Melbourne now, about to do the same tour as you starting on Dec 21. We're staying at a place called Urban Central Backpackers. Prices seem to vary depending on the time of the year you stay, it's not very old and has a great atmosphere. It's also about a 10 minute walk from the CBD, and has regular tram and bus services right past the door. Check it out at www.urbancentral.com.au. I really rate the place.
Hope this helps

If ur in Melbourne in summer, a place you have to go down to is St. Kilda Beach… the atmosphere down there is great and there's always something to do whether it be laze around on the beach (not the best beach in melb… try black rock) try some of the restaurants, cafe's and gelati shops down there or go bar hopping later on. You can also do a bit of shopping down there and have a look at Luna Park (theme park… the rollercoaster overlooks the beach).
I'm from melb myself so if u need any more info let me know. Have fun… Melbourne's the city down under that never sleeps. - 0 people like this

Hey guys;
Thanks for all the info. I had a friend told me that there was no way I could go to Australia and not see Melbourne so that's what I'm planning on doing. I'm looking forward to hitting the club scene and of course, everything else that I can possibly do.
What's the weather like in Melbourne during August? - 0 people like this

Copies may be obtained from the county health department or the Indiana State Division of Vital Records. See also How to order Indiana Vital Records or order electronically online.
Marriage licenses were required by counties beginning in 1800. Original marriage records are held at the office of the Allen County, Indiana Genealogy County Clerk with divorce records located with the Allen County, Indiana Genealogy Clerk of Courts.

Each family puts its own spin on the traditional naamkaran, or baby-naming ceremony. Though the event is steeped in religious and cultural significance, the ceremony itself can take place at a home or temple. It can be a large celebration or an intimate moment with close family and friends, but parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles are traditionally included. The way you invite people will set the tone for your naamkaran.
Face-to-Face Invitations
The news of an upcoming naming ceremony traditionally was spread mostly by word of mouth. Ask people away from a large crowd and include the date, time and location of the ceremony. In some ways, this method is more personal, not to mention affordable, than a traditional invite. It also allows guests to ask you questions directly about the ceremony, which may be particularly beneficial if you are including people who may not be familiar with Indian or Hindu traditions.
Electronic Invitations
It's very possible that you have more email addresses than street addresses for many of your friends. Electronic invitations give people a concrete reference at little or no cost. You can design them at many websites or just create a well-formatted email. Besides the name of the baby, date, time and location, include information about gifts, food and dress. Guests can RSVP through a built-in response system or by simply replying to the email.
Formal Mailed Invitations
For a more traditional ceremony, use mailed invitations. Open with "(Parents' names) cordially invite you to a naamkaran." Include the date, time and location, along with the baby's name. If you don't include a reply card, give a phone number so guests can RSVP. You can have the invitations professionally printed or purchase paper from a specialty shop to create them yourselves. However, if you're adhering to the tradition of having the ceremony 12 days after the birth, be prepared to print and send them almost immediately so that long-distance relatives can attend.
Photo Invitations
These invitations can be done either on the computer or mailed out. It may be easier to accomplish if your ceremony is more than 12 days after the birth of the baby. Print or scan a 4x6 photo of your new baby, then add text inviting people to the naming ceremony. This can be a special keepsake for friends and family. It is easily displayed on a fridge or bulletin board as a reminder of the big day to come.

Title: | Demand Characteristics and Quality Improvement: Who is Fooling Whom? |
Author(s): | Luchins, Daniel J. |
Abstract: | Since some of the data used for quality assurance purposes (i.e. rating scales) requires the active participation of clinicians, administrators use various mandates or incentives to insure its collection. However, although improving clinician compliance these measures may bias clinician responses. It is suggested that the concept of 'demand characteristics' originally developed by Orne to describe how non-specific aspects of the experimental setting shape what the human subject does may be applicable. For example a measure that might increase clinician compliance with completing GAF ratings on an inpatient unit might also influence the scores to make them coincide with the expectation that all patients are very ill when admitted and improved when discharged. Why such a phenomenon would be difficult to detect and what it might say about the relationship between managers and those they manage is also explored. |

Photos: Historic rail car placed at site of TRAX station in Draper
Utah Transit Authority workers move a historic restored refrigerator rail car into an exhibit at the Draper Town Center TRAX Station in Draper on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013. (Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News)
DRAPER — UTA and the city of Draper have partnered to build a historic rail car exhibit at the Draper Town Center TRAX station. A historic rail car that has been refurbished was delivered to the site, picked up by crane and lowered onto the track.
The future exhibit will feature the rail car, a water tower and nine panels depicting the history of Draper, and in particular of egg production in the southeast corner of the Salt Lake Valley. Draper was once known as the "Egg Basket of America" and pioneered the production and distribution, by rail, of "milk-white eggs" throughout the nation.

If the National Hockey League had its marketing wits about them, Gary Bettman and his NHL geniuses would have made a bee-line to Edmonton by now to film the spectacle that the Oilers' first-overall draft selection has created.
E-Town is jacked, baby!
Stand in a line-up anywhere across the Alberta capital and sooner or later the topic morphs into "Taylor vs. Tyler!" "Does either OHL draft pick stick with the Oilers if they show well in training camp! Should the Oilers and Boston (second overall selection) be workin' a deal!
And let's not forget the mainstay discussion from Oilers Nation that never seems to become stale …"Calgary still sucks!" The Battle of Alberta – that never gets old.
It's not at a fever pitch yet, but the temperature is certainly rising in the Alberta capital. After years of mediocrity, there's a sense of optimism in the air here, that their team is finally looking to the future and not simply the present.
Without question, there is plenty of criticism to be levelled at the Edmonton Oilers' front office – players as well – for allowing this once-proud franchise to tumble into obscurity and into the NHL cellar. That said, you can never question the passion of this team's fan base.
Since that magical Stanley Cup run of 2006 – the temporary glory of which placed a Band-Aid on a gaping wound for an organization that had drafted and negotiated player contracts poorly for the latter part of a decade – the loyalty of this team's fan base has been tried and tested repeatedly. Yet there they are, year after year, setting records for sell-outs down at "The Drug Store", and paying top dollar for tickets and foamy draft beer they used to only consume out of under-age desperation!
And make no mistake, for a Canadian, paying eight bucks for a plastic glass filled with helium-induced, warm swill is indubitably a true measurement of loyalty, if not a necessity for watching their once-proud team become the laughing stock of the NHL.
So, it is only fair, perhaps even rational of the hockey gods, that fans of the Edmonton Oilers are rewarded for displaying such fidelity to their beloved copper and blue in the face of such an unparalleled plummet from grace over the last several seasons.
With three weeks to go until the NHL's 2010 Entry Draft, fans of this once-storied franchise across the province – around the world for that matter – have already marked their calendars, scoped out their favourite watering hole stools, updated their passports and purchased airfares to "LA-LA Land", where they hope to witness the commencement of the resurrection of their beloved Oil Drop.
This is huge, not only for a hockey team, but for a hockey-rabid city and its 1.2 million citizens that breathe and eat Oilers hockey. Remember when a pimply-faced kid from Brantford, Ontario appeared and planted the seed of passion for NHL hockey in this community in the early 1980s….this too is one of those moments.
When Steve Tambellini steps to the microphone (perhaps presumptuous) on June 25 and announces who Edmonton will select with its first overall draft pick, the germination for the future success of the league's most northern outpost will have occurred.
And it's not just about the first round pick either. It's about a front office and team embracing the maturation process, and understanding that catching lightning in a bottle once every 15 years does not define excellence, but rather shrewd business sense and leadership, both on and off the ice.
After June 25, the Edmonton Oilers' front office will be on the clock with its fans. Here's hoping they can finally tell time.
In the meantime, remember Oiler faithful, chins up, sticks down.

Marvel comics kills off beloved Professor X, founder of X-Men
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Professor X, the Marvel comic book character who formed and led the superhero mutant team known as X-Men, has been killed off.
The latest issue of comic book "Avengers VS. X-Men," out on Wednesday, saw the wheelchair bound and telepathic character, whose full name is Charles Xavier, get killed by Cyclops, a member of his very own X-Men team.
"When we first crafted 'Avengers VS. X-Men,' we didn't set out to kill any characters, but as the story progressed it became obvious that this had to be the last stand of Charles Xavier," Axel Alonso, editor-in-chief of Marvel Entertainment, said in a statement.
"Rest assured his death will reverberate across the Marvel Universe, leading into major launches like Uncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men this fall," Alonso added.
The storyline's dramatic conclusion will occur in the follow-up issue, due out October 3.
The X-Men characters have been brought to the big screen in a series of films starring Patrick Stewart as Professor X and James Marsden as Cyclops including 2000's "X-Men," 2003's "X2" and 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand."

Drug-induced Erectile Dysfunction
Drug-induced Erectile Dysfunction
Alternate Names
- drugs that may cause impotence
- medications that may cause erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (formerly called impotence), is a condition in which a man is unable to get or maintain an erection. One of several causes for this condition may be the medications or other drugs the man is taking.
What is the information for this topic?
It is estimated that about 5% of men younger than age 40 experience erectile dysfunction. It becomes more common as men get older and affects up to 75% of men over age 75.
The many medical causes of erectile dysfunction include depression, diabetes, and atherosclerosis, in addition to those episodes brought on by difficulties in the relationship with the man's sexual partner.
Any of a number of drugs may cause erectile dysfunction in some men. Some of the more common include the following:
- alcohol
- smoking and smokeless tobacco
- heroin, cocaine, and other mind-altering drugs
- cimetidine (i.e., Tagamet), a drug sometimes used to treat peptic ulcers or gastroesophageal reflux
- some diuretics, or "fluid pills." These are commonly used to treat high blood pressure, leg swelling, and congestive heart failure.
- some high blood pressure medications. These include a commonly prescribed class of drugs called beta-blockers.
- medications used to treat depression. These include amitriptyline (i.e., Elavil), fluoxetine (i.e., Prozac, Sarafem), sertraline (i.e., Zoloft), paroxetine (i.e., Paxil), and others.
- medications used to treat psychosis, such as risperidone (i.e., Risperdal) or haloperidol (i.e., Haldol)
- sedatives such as diazepam (i.e., Valium)
- finasteride (i.e., Propecia, Proscar). This drug is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), to prevent baldness, or to treat prostate cancer.
Other medications may also cause erectile dysfunction in some men, though most men take them without any trace of this symptom. A man may be completely unable to have an erection while using the drug.
If erectile dysfunction starts shortly after a man begins taking a new drug, the drug is the most likely cause of the problem.
In other cases, erectile dysfunction may not occur until a man has been taking a drug for months. It is not a good idea to stop taking the medication without consulting the healthcare professional. This could cause the condition being treated to return or get worse, resulting in serious health problems.
Often, a different drug that does not cause erectile dysfunction can be substituted. If this is not possible, other treatment options are available to correct erectile dysfunction. For example, the drug sildenafil, commonly known by its brand name Viagra, is a safe and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction for many men. Newer oral ED drugs include vardenafil (i.e., Levitra) and tadalafil (i.e., cialis) Many other treatments are also available.
The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database lists DHEA, Panax ginseng, L-arginine, melanotan-II, propionyl-L-carnitine (taken with Viagra), yohimbine, as "Possibly Effective" for some forms of erectile dysfunction. They judge pycnogenol as having "insufficient evidence" to use with ED.
Though it may be embarrassing to discuss sexual issues with a healthcare professional, open communication is a necessary first step if the connection between the drug and the impotence is to be uncovered. Often the problem can be easily treated once it is brought out into the open.
When the drug that has been causing the erectile dysfunction is discontinued, normal erections should return within a few weeks. Men need to tell the healthcare professional if the problem goes away. If the erectile dysfunction continues, it is probably due to another cause. Further testing can be done to identify the source of the problem.
For men who smoke or use smokeless tobacco, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs, the first step is to eliminate these substances. This will often resolve the erectile dysfunction, though it may take some time. Men who have used these substances for a long period may suffer erectile dysfunction for life.
