The key bit is that the induced emf always opposes the increase or decrease of current in the coil. As Faraday's Law says, "The induced electromotive force in any closed circuit is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit." Think of an inductor as a device that likes to have a constant (or zero) current flowing through it, and that argues with you whenever you try to change that current.
but why does the additional current flows with the main coil current when the main coil current decreases?Still why it doesn't flow against the main coil current like the one when the main coil current is increasing?
I understood that part...but similarly"The induced voltage creates a current in the coil that flows either with or against the main coil current,depending on whether the coil current is incresing or decresing.if the coil current is incresing,the additional current flows against the main coil current but when the coil current is decresing, the additional current flows with the main coil current"and my qsn is why does it happen so?why the additional current flows against when the main coil current when the coil current is increasing and similarly flows with the main coil current if the coil current is decrasing??

Hi there, i'm Daniel.
I'm in my last year of culinary school (a.k.a 3 years of time mostly wasted) soon to go out into the real world. I've been at a few places and have some experience already.
One of my favorite places, where i feel most at home in the kitchen is www.restaurangag.se which is focused on meats and is one of the most unpretentious places i've been to.
So much love for the produce.
I got interested in knives when i felt the need to get myself my first own chef's knife. I am the kind of person that reads up alot and has an easy time getting snowed in on things (which is why knives, computers and headphones (and amplifiers) have started to ruin me.)
My first knife was an Akifusa 24cm gyoto in SRS-15. Not the easiest choice for a newbie, but starting up with tough powdered tool steel was a good choice. With that i bought a Spyderco Sharpmaker (Sorry guys, no stones here. Sorry to disappoint))
Which was a treat. After that, a 15cm Kagayaki Petty in VG10 followed, and after that a 16,5cm Kagayaki Santoku in Aogami Super, first time with carbon. First time really in love with the steel. This was followed by a ******** Addict 2, which had great Fit & Finish, and a really polished edge. But it doesn't feel as sharp. Going to take my time and profile it to 15 or 20 degrees i think.
Last to join me is a Fu-rin-ka-zan Nakiri, which i haven't gotten to use enough yet. But i was happily surprised. I think magnolia looks awful. To the point of disgust. But that's on picture. Once i held it in my hand i liked it, not as much as Sandalwood but still, i like it.
I also have my trusty ol' shitknife. A knife my mother got from her boss for christmas. A Sagaform Edge in 1.4116 but i like it, i don't have to care for it. I can lend it to people, and it sharpens up in no time.
I've also started trying out stropping with 3 micron compound and cardboard. And i like the results. A lot. So now i'm looking to buy a ready made strop.. and if i can't find that.. some leather to fix one myself.
So here i am, figuring out ways to get rid of my money.. i need a new knife-bag, this one is starting to get filled up..

Commentary & Opinion
Demand Growing for Female Condoms Despite Myths, Advocate Says
November 14, 2012
Mary Beth Hastings, vice president of the Center for Health and Gender Equality (CHANGE), writes in the Huffington Post's "Impact" blog that despite "the pervasive myth that no one wants female condoms," "[d]emand is increasing because female condoms provide men and women with something they want: more options when it comes to protecting themselves." USAID officials "were surprised to hear evidence of an unmet demand for female condoms," Hastings says, adding, "[W]hen presented with evidence to the contrary, USAID started talking with different institutions about meeting the demand." She continues, "To its credit, the U.S. government is a global leader on female condoms. But there is still room for improvement."
Hastings says U.S.-funded HIV prevention and family planning programs "should all include education about and access to female condoms." She adds, "Female condoms are an opportunity to promote women's rights as much as they are an opportunity to fight HIV, because they can and they do generate important conversations within couples and communities about love, protection, trust and power," and concludes, "That's what makes them so special, and so worthy of investment" (11/13).

Posted by dahsdebater on 7/26/2012 2:54:00 PM (view original):It winds up boiling down to the singles park rating that's used in the determination of hit or out.
Posted by The_Creeper on 11/30/2013 7:31:00 PM (view original):I probably am not smart enough to say this the right way but I have a question:
Why in the world would a BB% be 56.5% dependant on the hitter vs. the pitchers ability to throw a strike. I would think it would be closer to 50/50 at best. If you look at the hits, it is much more heavily weighted towards the hitter. I understand that because once it is determined to be a hit, of a pitch, it is all up to the hitter, how far, hard, high he hit the ball.
Never understood how a BB is more dependent on hitter season that pitcher season.

Guernsey County, Ohio Mandates Immediate Euthanasia of All Dogs Resembling Pit Bull Type Dogs or Mixes
October 30, 2009, 5:46PM MT
By Katie Bray, Best Friends Network Volunteer
Guernsey County, Ohio Policy Mandates Euthanasia of All Pit Bull Type Dogs in the Shelter
A new Guernsey County, Ohio Animal Warden policy states:
"UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will we permit adoption of or release to rescue any pit bull or mixed breed dog judged by the warden to be a pit bull mix. Per Guernsey County Commissioners, any pit bull or pit mix shall be euthanized immediately (within 24 hours for owner surrender, after 3 days for strays). NO EXCEPTIONS!!!".
The Daily-Jeff.com reports animal control as saying any pit bull dog or resembling a pit bull mix dog will be immediately euthanized "even if it is friendly." Ohio is the only state in the nation that regulates dogs by breed, specifically declaring pit bull type dogs as inherently "dangerous" throughout the state. By contrast, many states have enacted statutes prohibiting this misinformed and near archaic practice. ( West's Ann.Cal.Penal Code § 599aa(f), C.R.S.A. § 18-9-204.5(5)(b), West's F.S.A. § 767.14, IL ST CH 8 ¶ 365, 510 ILCS 5/24, M.S.A. § 343.31 (4-5), N.J.S.A. 4:19-36, McKinney's Agriculture and Markets Law § 107(5) (New York), 4 Okl.St.Ann. § 46(B), 3 P.S. § 459-507-A(c), V.T.C.A., Health & Safety Code § 822.047, Va. Code Ann. § 3.2-6540.)
The motion passed states that the animal warden "shall be vested with the decision if a dog is predominately pit bull and shall have the final authority for the determination." This leaves no room for challenges or appeals by owners claiming their dog is not predominantly pit bull.
A recent study and report by Dr. Victoria L. Voith, explores the difficulties many shelters experience identifying dogs and with new canine DNA testing, how the shelter's visual identification is often wrong. Click here to read the report. Adding credence to the report, a Salina, KS, woman recently saved her dog from euthanasia after she had it DNA tested. The results revealed the dog was predominantly Bernese Mountain Dog. Click here to read about Lucey's story.
It appears, however, the dogs in Guernsey County, Ohio, will face a most certain death if the dog warden visually identifies it as predominantly pit bull.

Income inequality and its effects on access to ecological services in a western US city
2012-11-29T19:40:15Z (GMT) by

These are slides from a symposium presentation at the International Geographical Congress 2012 in Köln, Germany, on Tuesday, 28 August, 2012. The paper is part of a session on "Urban dynamics and environmental conflicts". Here is the abstract of this talk, which is also available as a pdf uploaded separately here:

Income inequality and its effects on access to ecological services in a western US city

Madhusudan Katti, Andrew Rhys Jones, Kaberi Kar Gupta

California State University, Fresno

Cities now represent the primary habitat for human beings on earth, and are best studied as dynamic coupled socio-ecological systems. Modern urban development provides an excellent laboratory to examine the interplay among socio-ecological relationships. With increasing demand on limited resources, urban development often sharpens con>licts driven by socioeconomic inequalities which often result in unequal access to critical natural resources and biodiversity. Urban poverty is characterized not only by low socioeconomic status, but also by low ecological status resulting in increased vulnerability to risk factors such as food and water security. Urban land and water management decisions result from dynamic interactions between institutional, individual and ecological factors. Landscaping and irrigation at any particular residence, for example, is a product of geography, hydrology, soil, and other local environmental conditions, the homeowners' cultural preferences, socioeconomic status, neighborhood dynamics, as well as zoning laws, market conditions, city policies, and county/state/federal government regulations. Since land and water management are key determinants of habitat for other species, urban biodiversity is strongly driven by the outcome of interactions between these variables. This study addresses the signi>icance of water as a key variable in the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area (FCMA), shaping current patterns of landscape and water use, at a time when the city of Fresno is installing meters as a regulatory tool to conserve water. A recent study from the Fresno Bird Count found that bird species richness and functional group diversity are both strongly correlated with residential irrigation and neighborhood poverty. Tree species diversity shows a similar pattern. Water usage in the FCMA is also directly linked to socioeconomic status, but what exactly are the social behaviors entailed by socioeconomic status? How will water use behaviors change across the socioeconomic spectrum with changes in the cost of water due to metering? In particular, what are the implications of raising the cost of water on access to ecological services for poor residents? We examine various theoretical models explaining outdoor water use behaviors, with the aim of assessing the resilience of such behaviors with the introduction of water metering in Fresno. We argue that socioeconomic status results from a complex interplay of cultural, economic, structural, and social-psychological factors, in>luencing institutional policies regarding the governance of water resources, and in turn impact biodiversity within the urban landscape through spatial and temporal variations in water usage. This study is part of a long-term research project that examines the impacts of human water usage and water use policies on biodiversity within an urban environment.

Recommended dishes Christmas enchiladas, chorizo sopes, gazpacho, guacamole, squash tamales
I am frequently asked what my favorite restaurant is. I'll get emails from readers, colleagues, and friends asking for suggestions on where to go. The answer varies depending on budget and occasion. For higher-end, food-centric dining, I offer OAK, or Basta. For romance, ambience and a taste of the exotic, I recommend Tangier Moroccan. I frequently send lunch seekers over to see Lou at Cuba Cuba about some fried plantains but more and more lately, I've been recommending Zolo to anyone looking for consistently good eats at varying price points.
Zolo, located on Arapahoe in the busy strip mall adjacent to Sunflower Market, is a sleeper of sorts. Until now it hadn't secured a place in my mental Rolodex of go-to restaurants. Obscured by the lure of Pearl Street haunts, it sat waiting for the initial attraction of other downtown restaurant locations to wear off. Since the bar at Zolo is small and cramped, it rarely rang the happy hour bell as an appealing option for me. As summer set in though, Zolo offered an alternative, beckoning me to sip their stellar sangria and Zoloritas on their expansive patio that boasts both outdoor and covered semi-air-conditioned seating.
Three $3.50 sangrias in during a recent girls' happy hour, I began to ponder why Zolo took so long to sink into my soul. Polishing off a heavenly plate of decadent chorizo stuffed bacon wrapped dates in red ranchero sauce ($2) I swore aloud at how perfectly the smokiness of the house cured bacon set off the sweet dates, and the sauce! Oh, the sauce! Each item that arrived received similar praise. All at the table agreed that Zolo has some of the best and consistently well prepared food in Boulder.
However, we also all agreed that the ambience at Zolo unenhanced by the view of the Flatirons is at best generic. Surveying the decor and the vibe, Zolo isn't particularly intimate or hip. The wide-open space has no romantic nooks, or partitioned crannies that would add interest to the space. Zolo is not unappealing, it just lacks a specific vibe and visual cues that my brain uses to conjure recommendations. I have only my recollection of food presentation and flavor to go on.
They say it takes seven views of something to get someone to take action. I've eaten at Zolo over seven times now and so instead of recalling vibe and ambiance for recommendation purposes, I'm seeing, tasting and smelling Zolo's sopes ($2). Small cups of corn masa dough are filled with expertly flavored chorizo and cheese, red chile pork or BBQ beef brisket. All three are extraordinary, but my favorite, the chorizo cup, is served on top of homemade red pepper jelly. The flavor combination of the housemade chorizo and spicy jelly is nothing short of spectacular.
At happy hour you'll get a heaping portion of fresh made guacamole and chips for only $4. Chunky and mashed to order, Zolo guac is served with lime so you can squeeze and acidify to your specifications. A changing assortment of tamales ($3) is offered. My favorite is the squash, often served with a cranberry chutney, this summer I've seen and tried tasty roasted corn as well as corn and spinach. Herb charred ribs ($4), slightly too fatty, are my least favorite happy hour selection, but are nothing to sneeze at. All items on the happy hour menu range from $1.50-$4 including the drink specials.
Service at Zolo is adequate, perhaps a step above average. Fairly casual and laid back, I've only experienced a friendly staff here. Taking my friend Chris for some birthday enchiladas, our night's server overheard that it was his birthday and without me even having to mention, saluted him with a chocolate peanut brownie cake and candle at the conclusion of our meal.
I'd be remiss in not mentioning that Zolo is far more than just the ultimate place to go for happy hour. Back to those enchiladas I mentioned before, although juvenile, the term "WOWZERS" comes to mind, and I'll make no apology. Chicken enchiladas with smoked cheese and crema is served with your choice of red, green or X-mas combo of both sauces for $15. A mound of fresh diced cilantro flecked tomatoes serves as a side salad. You can even add a decadent fried egg for unnecessary added richness. If I had to make a list of the top dishes in Boulder, these enchiladas would be right up top.
Are you a gazpacho aficionado? With the raging heat we're experiencing I'd say you should also hit Zolo for an unparalleled bowl ( $5). A thick puree of garden tomato and guajillo chili base is garnished with sliced cucumber, cilantro and pea shoots. A quenelle of cucumber lime and mint sorbet tops the bowl for a one two punch of flavor and refreshment.
Judging on food quality and flavor alone, Zolo holds the top spot for my favorite restaurant choice in Boulder. If I factor in atmosphere, vibe and service it suffers only a smidge overall. One thing I've noticed about the Boulder food scene is that even the top places suffer from a lack of consistency, each individual experience either a hit or a miss. At Zolo, they've gotten consistency down pat, earning them a top spot in my recommendation file.

Té Tremble
In modern times, one universal truth since the French Revolution has included the anger and the fear that the young always directed at institutions which sheltered a civilization. Not at all unlike the anger and the fear that came out of slavery. Like in Haiti about the time of the French Revolution. Before the Louisiana Purchase. The anger and the fear directed at royalty and the clergy. At the time of the French Revolution, the anger at all of the estates, including the journalists covering the story.
The anger was over the powerlessness…. in the always and everywhere identity of being a slave — this powerful identity from the past in the New World based upon race that is not allowed in polite society to be discussed… Or about that anger from the past which had come of slavery.
I spent part of last weekend with the descendants of displaced slaves. I attended a program on Sunday about rebuilding Haiti. After waking earlier that day to "Speaking of Faith," a National Public Radio program that morning which had discussed life in western Alabama where shelter had always been based upon a social order of the soul, with its burden of history. The houses of western Alabama always had had porches, in a day when air conditioning did not cut off a family from a neighbor, with a concern of long-term survival. Whereas part of the rebuilding process, part of the architecture included recycling building materials of the past, and an architectural teacher from the University of Auburn mentioned the slave houses in this part of the Alabama. As he was talking about the importance of an architecture that was committed and engaged, he asked who now could ever understand in this day and age slavery? "Either its social and/or cultural part at the time of slavery?" In western Alabama, where had been the descendants — with its displaced slaves and the slave masters still present. Architectural students from the University of Auburn had to find out about the truth in the collective memory of slavery, in the architectural systems being re-created.
The Saint Paul Public Library offered a panel discussion with sponsorship of the Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library with mostly Haitian people. Max Adrien is a Haitian-born Hamline University French professor with a Ph. D., from Tulane University in New Orleans where he helped establish a Haitian Creole program. In examining Haitian history, he told the story which began on December 5, 1492 in Haiti. Where Columbus sank the Santa Maria. Why Columbus came, with the late 15th century European God. Perhaps initially with a 16th century benevolence. To find a route to the east. To avoid the Ottoman Turks –those fierce Ottoman Turks. Adrian said he had a B.A. from Loyola University in Chicago, and knew well the theology of Columbus's world. In a five minute history, he spoke of the arrival of the French who formally claimed control of the western portion of the island of Hispaniola. With the encouragement of Louis XIV, the French West Indian Company had begun to grow tobacco, cotton, indigo, and cacao under the labor of the enslaved Tainos who inhabited the island before Columbus' gang arrived. With high Taíno mortality attributed to a missing immunity to Old World diseases, a French monsignor had suggested going to Africa to import replacement labor. And thus the history of African slaves from hundreds of different tribes, with hundreds of different languages. The estimated number was 790,000 African slaves in 1783-1791. And so the story of displaced slaves, from Africa.
Thirty years younger than the United States, Haiti was the first independent black nation in the Western Hemisphere. Adrien discussed Toussaint L'Ouverture's revolution from France that caused enough fear to Napoleon for the United States to complete the Louisiana Purchase. Louisiana, with its sugar base economy. Louisiana, with its same French connection. Louisiana, caught in the same slave trade triangle as Haiti. He made mention of crippling reparations paid to France after the country's revolution in order to lift an embargo. And its history has shown the ongoing dependence ever since, based on reparations for the freed slaves, and with the old paradigm of slavery. In the 18th century, Haiti was the richest island in the Caribbean, with its economy based upon sugar.
Barbara Pierre-Louis, a Ph.D. candidate, gave a personal account of her Haitian history, where reference was made to Paul Farmer's powerful book, The Uses of Haiti. Both of these speakers had been in Minnesota on January 12, 2010 on the day of Té Tremble. Roulio Lundy was a young Haitian who had married a Minnesotan in March 2009 but was home on the island. One of 19 children, he gave a moving account of visiting a neighborhood where a woman his own age had prepared him lunch as he readied to journey 60 miles in his car to return to his mother's home on that Tuesday. After turning down an invitation to eat food three times, he finally took the food and put it in his back seat and set off for home. Five minutes down the road, there was upheaval on the road he was driving on. The sky turned black. And the buildings along the side of the road collapsed. It seemed the end of the world had arrived. He spoke of picking up 3 young men in his car as he resumed his travel, witnessing horror after horror of adult men sawing off their arms, to escape from the rubble of their buildings. Offers of all worldly goods were made by those trapped if somehow they could be saved. The four men distributed the food and water in the car as they came across horrific scene after horrific scene. And he found that the woman who had prepared his food had died in the earthquake. He had a flat tire later that afternoon, and took a wheel off another care to continue on, at one point abandoning his car. It took him until midnight on Thursday to complete his journey on foot to his mother's home. He found that all of his family member were alive.
There were questions. One question was from a woman who had sponsored a child through the NGO called World Vision. The Minneapolis wife of Roulio Lundy suggested that the people in the audience take a different approach. She told of the dislike of non-government organizations (NGOs), who have been helping in Haiti for 50 years, with more poverty today than 50 years ago, with a greater number existing on less than $2 per day than ever before. The view there that the people were poorer, and the NGOs richer. Causing in the view of many locals, more damage than good. The NGOs that seemed to want to do something. That was the environment in Haiti before the earthquake.
Yes, I had spent part of the weekend with the educated descendants of displaced slaves. Maria Roesler-Lundy had married a descendant. Her husband was the only member of the panel who did not carry a post graduate degree from an American university. And all of the Haitians had spoken of the prestigious schools in Haiti. The few prestigious schools. Education maybe not unlike the air conditioning which had cut off so many from their neighbors. And there was this undertow of class, even among the descendants of displaced slaves, some who had gotten the chance to attend the prestigious schools, to pursue passing on the academics to the next generation. With or without the anger at the concept of the 16th century God.
The institutional advancement of a nation. Maria Roesler-Lundy came over to give a more explicit answer dealing with World Vision. She said her answer had not been about just World Vision. Her answer dealt with not giving just money alone to Haitian causes, but the need to get actively involved with the people in the nation. And when her husband compared this crisis of rebuilding to being about more than sharing money but similar to preparing food and then eating it with the people, and suddenly I was overcome with the realization that the only reason he was standing in front of me was because he had not stayed to share the food prepared by his former next door neighbor. And I understood the reasons hat he had wept at the conclusion of his speech delivered in Creole.
His answer was about creating a relationship. "Don't try to change the Haitian people," someone had opined on "This American Life." The moderator had wrapped up the program quoting an American physician who had gone to Haiti long before the earthquake. He had commented upon all the Fixit types who come to town and get right down to work. Never starting the morning, as the locals ask each day, "How are you? How did you sleep?" There were now a lot of foreigners who skip the morning greeting each day. The advice of anyone going to Haiti who would deal with Haitians was "Try to understand their point of view." Because in Haiti, there were some grateful and some ungrateful.
Institutional advancement in Haiti was a slow and cumbersome process, Apricot Irving reported on "This American Life." The pitfalls of the old model of the 19th century benevolence could be seen over and over. Many Haitians were experts at receiving aid, but not changing their own lives, maybe attributed to a built up immunity to Old World theology, as some kind of remnant of an slave culture. Foreigners always in charge, with hope that the Haitians would catch on. Immunity maybe to the 16th century God of Columbus, who somehow had allowed slavery. And then the 19th century benevolence. As the slaves over time had become dependent on their slave masters. And now this cowboy culture from the US, when the problems are there to fix. The Fixit American Men from Mars, and their women, giving out of what these people did not have. Of technology. Of water. It was the social order of slavery.
The doctor that Apricot Irving interviewed said, "Build a citadel and you build another benevolent dictatorship. The cowboy to fix the problem. For efficacy, service and security…why not become a benevolent dictator?" The choice was to either continue the dysfunction, or to create a new model. To replace the old model in this slave culture. Of Papa Doc. Or the NGOs. Or think about the hard work of community building. When along the way, services in 2010 will not be provided. And that admittedly was a terrible choice. Building true community takes time….with a perseverance in a relationship. Between people.
So the reconstruction of Haiti. And the choice between the old model and the new. The old model which creates a new slave plantation, dependent on the masters. With all of the fruits just like before. . . With the distance. And the consequence. The ensuing anger, the violence…the discontent. Or the choice which comes with authentic generous sharing. When people gave, out of what others did not have, with a true caring. A never ending caring, which was seldom recognized when any people were enslaved. So the reconstruction of all of the shelter, in the New World, which always has been based upon a social order of the soul.
And so the spiritual architects, finding out about the truth in the collective memory of slavery, in the architectural systems being re-created. In the new discoveries of 2010, in the reconstruction of Haiti.

METRO VANCOUVER — Seven weeks into the National Hockey League lockout, the Vancouver Giants are up at the box office. So are the Abbotsford Heat. Revenue has increased in the B.C. Junior League. Even the UBC Thunderbirds are reporting more bums in seats.
But is the lockout the sole reason? Does it mean that Vancouver is more than a Canuck town? It depends, it seems, on the markets within the market.
Giants majority owner Ron Toigo went through the lockout experience in 2004-05 and he senses if a big bump is going to come, it will come later in the season when there is more clarity with the NHL situation.
"I think we've established our own fan base to a large extent," said Toigo, whose Giants are now in their 12th year. "We're up a little bit from last year but I think we were trending that way anyways. The last lockout we really didn't feel an impact until probably December and then again, after they actually called the year off.
"I think most people are just waiting for the Canucks to start and banking their money with the intention of buying whatever they're going to buy. "
Nevertheless, Toigo is hoping to extract some of those parked dollars for the Nov. 14 Subway Super Series game at Pacific Coliseum between a team of WHL all-stars and a touring Russian side that will feature Nail Yakupov, the first overall pick in the 2012 NHL entry draft.
Yakupov was a good bet to crack the Edmonton Oilers lineup so this is a pleasant development for Toigo. West Vancouver boys Griffin Reinhart and Morgan Rielly are on the WHL team and might be in the NHL, too, if games were being played. Financially, the Giants should feel the benefit.
"The Russian game is certainly taking on a better light," agreed Toigo. "We're going to have four of the top five overall picks from last year's NHL draft in the game and they probably wouldn't be here if the NHL was playing. We're fortunate to have that event this year and we're certainly trending ahead of what we expected in ticket sales. We anticipate to be over 10,000 and I wouldn't be surprised to see us do 12,000-14,000 that night."
The Giants, despite having a poor team this season, are still averaging 657 fans more per game than a year ago at this stage (6,197 through nine games this year vs. 5,540 through first nine last season), although Toigo indicated that is mostly due to promotional nights put in place long before NHL commissioner Gary Bettman slammed shut the doors on his league.
In Abbotsford, Heat president Ryan Walter anticipates his next big lockout bump will come Nov. 9-10 when the Oklahoma City Barons arrive for a pair of games. The Barons, farm team to the Oilers, aren't usually a big draw but will be this time with young Oiler guns Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and top free-agent signing Justin Schultz on their roster.
The money-losing Heat were among the AHL bottom feeders in attendance last season and it cost the taxpayers of Abbotsford $1.76 million to fund the shortfall. The average crowd was 3,545 in a 7,046-seat building but the number is up significantly this year thanks to an early visit by the Canucks' affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. The Wolves played to 98.8 per cent capacity in their two-game set last month and Walter says the Blazers' upcoming visit is generating similar interest.
"The big news is that we are trending Wolves numbers at this point for the Oke City games," Walter noted. "We found out there are busloads of people coming down from Edmonton and they are buying tickets. So when you ask if the lockout has affected us from a box office point of view, obviously that would be one we'd probably point to that's had the most effect."
It doesn't hurt, Walter added, that most teams coming into the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre during the lockout will have a number of NHL-calibre players on their rosters.
"It is an advantage to see players like Taylor Hall, Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle here for $15 or see them up in Edmonton for $120," he pointed out. "So I think our momentum is starting to come and it would be coming on the backs of the Wolves and Oke City."
Walter, in his second season as Heat president, is finding what works in Abbotsford and what doesn't besides a visit from the Canuck farmhands. Midweek games are not popular. There were only 1,951 on hand for the Toronto Marlies visit Thursday night, bringing the Heat's average crowd for its first five home games down to 4,424. Weekend dates work better. So do special-events nights.
Walter has former Habs' star Yvon Cournoyer coming in Nov. 30 to coincide with a visit by the Habs' farm team, the Hamilton Bulldogs. Former Leafs' captain Darryl Sittler is lined up for the Marlies next visit in April.
"I think the way you run these AHL teams is very similar to what the junior operators do," Walter explained. "You sort of focus in on 12 or 13 big events and you don't spend quite as much energy on the Tuesday-Wednesday games. So those are things we're doing to try and keep our momentum, with or without a lockout. It takes time to grow a strong brand and I think the lockout is maybe allowing us to accelerate our brand here."
The B.C. Hockey League has put in place this season a new reporting system for attendance figures so numbers may be skewed for its four franchises in the Canuck orbit. According to commissioner John Grisdale, teams are now required to count only paid tickets rather than including comp or other promotional avenues that let people pass through their turnstiles.
The Langley Rivermen and Surrey Eagles are up over last year's season averages while the Coquitlam Express and Chilliwack Chiefs are slightly down. But all, emphasized Grisdale, are doing better financially.
"The revenues are up for our teams, which means the paid attendance is up and we're really pleased about that," Grisdale said. "Another big thing is a revenue increase in sponsorships. So those are two areas where we're seeing improvement but whether that's related to the lockout or not, I can't say.
"In the last lockout, we saw significant, significant increases in our attendance to the tune, and I'm just going from memory, of 20-30 per cent. So we expect to see an increase again if this lockout continues."
On the UBC campus, T-Bird coach Milan Dragicevic has noticed a definite lockout boost, much of it due to the exposure the 'Birds received from the Bieksa Buddies charity game Oct. 17. They played before a full house of 5,000 that night and, two days later, about 1,000 came back to see UBC's home opener against the Lethbridge Pronghorns.
"Last year, we averaged close to 500 fans a game and this year we're averaging close to 900 so it's a pretty big increase and that's very positive," Dragicevic noted. "The Bieksa game helped a lot. It opened up people's eyes to how good CIS hockey is and how good UBC hockey really is. All our guys were stars at the junior level, whether it was in the WHL, BCHL, or AJHL.
"So many people who come watch a game always say they want to come back," added the UBC coach. "It's just a matter of getting them to make that initial visit. We've definitely noticed we're getting more exposure because of the Bieska Buddies game and the fact the Canucks are skating with us."

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — I've always wanted to try and dunk a ball off of a trampoline, like we often see mascots doing. I know, I know, it's probably so much harder to do than it seems, but that's part of the charm of it — people, usually mascots, always make it look so effortless. More than anything, dunking off of a trampoline looks like fun. Which I understand probably means that there's an underrated degree of difficulty involved.
All of that to say by way of introduction, last night the Brooklyn Nets' oddly-named mascot, BrooklyKnight, tried to do a trampoline dunk, and somehow ended up with the ball stuck underneath the shot clock.
It was pretty epic …

TubaSummer now in 15th year — free concert July 2706/19/2014
Tucker Jolly directs a recent TubaSummer concert on the grounds at UA.
TubaSummer — a sunny summertime version of TubaChristmas — will be held on Sunday, July 27, at 7 p.m. on Buchtel Common. The University of Akron School of Music is the sponsor of TubaSummer.
The free concert will feature summer favorites performed by tuba, sousaphone, baritone and euphonium musicians from throughout the region. It will be on the grass amphitheater adjacent to Guzzetta Hall and near the towering blue polymer sculpture by renowned artist, Dale Chihuly.
Guzzetta Hall is at 157 University Ave., across from E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall and the Polymer Science Building on the UA campus. The rain location is Guzzetta Recital Hall.
Audience members are invited to bring picnics, blankets and lawn chairs. Free and convenient parking will be available in the parking deck and surface lot on E. Buchtel Avenue, across from Guzzetta Hall.
Like Akron's popular TubaChristmas, TubaSummer has an enduring appeal: this summer is its 15th year. Tucker Jolly conducts, with special guest conductor Robert Jorgensen. Both are professors emeritus at the School of Music.
Musicians are invited to perform. The only rehearsal is the afternoon of the performance. To register to play, or for more information, call 330-972-8301 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"We are here to hug our guests and make them feel good," says Thomas Stohr, co-owner with his wife, Helene,
of Swissbakers. The couple
recently opened a second location of their four-year-old business in a former car dealership in Allston across from Harvard Business School. Any signs of the previous occupant are obliterated by bright red and white tiles, the array of breads and pastries, and the aroma of freshly brewed George Howell coffee.
Thomas Stohr grew up in Zurich, where his parents owned a wood-oven bakery. Helene, from Lucerne, baked with her mother every Saturday. When the couple came to this country in the late 1990s, they worked in the food industry before opening their first bakery in Reading. Now sons Tobias, 21, and Nicolas, 19, are involved in the business. On the savory side, pretzel baguettes ($2.75), rolls ($1.25), and stix ($1.35) are a revelation. After one bite you may never eat the items sold as soft pretzels at sports venues again. Lightly fried, sugar-dusted, filled Berliners ($1.75), croissants ($1.75 plain, $3 filled), and a variety of sweet rolls, cookies, and tarts ($1.35 to $18.50) are indulgent without being cloying. According to Thomas, "Swiss food has no calories if you eat it on the day you buy it."
Swissbakers, 168 Western Ave., Allston, 617-903-3113, www.swissbakers.com.

The Hamilton County Democratic Party said Monday that it "technically" ran afoul of its open meetings policy five hours after putting out a statement that said it followed the rules.
At a board meeting last week, party Chairman Paul Smith and party Treasurer Stephen Harper implored board members to keep secret the session that followed, with Smith at one point saying, "I'm glad the press wasn't here" so the party could discuss sensitive matters and avoid "a big brouhaha."
Smith prohibited the media from covering the meeting, describing it as "confidential" to a Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter.
But board member Rita Fehring and an audio recording confirmed Smith never adjourned the regular meeting before entering into a private "executive session," directly violating a bylaw that promotes transparency at all levels, Tennessee Democratic Party officials said.
"The Democratic Party -- nationally, statewide and locally -- encourages and requires open meetings so people and press have access to what is going on," said Gerard Stranch, general counsel for the state party.
The Times Free Press obtained a recording of the meeting.
At the meeting it emerged for the first time that City Council candidate Moses Freeman has been paying the local Democrats' rent for party headquarters at 841 E. Main St.
A longtime Democratic activist, Freeman is running against another self-identified Democrat, City Councilman Andrae McGary, in District 8.
The March city elections are nonpartisan, but local Democratic officials historically have taken pains to avoid publicly showing favoritism toward two Democrats running for the same office.
Last week's board meeting was conducted at the Main Street headquarters. A large Freeman campaign sign swung over the building's exterior.
Asked at the meeting why the sign was there, Smith said he made arrangements with Freeman "in order to make some money out of this building," according to the audio recording.
"Moses wanted to come and rent the offices we were essentially not using," Smith told board members at the meeting. "And we took the Democratic Party sign down and the only option that we had was to use this building and he would pay the rent two months to use the building," according to the recording.
Last week McGary said he didn't know about the rental agreement, describing it as "hilarious" and potentially corrupt.
The Times Free Press published a story about the arrangement Saturday.
In response Monday, the Hamilton County Democratic Party said it "is renting its headquarters premises month-to-month and does not have a lease," noting that "Mr. Freeman is subletting the space from the building's owner."
The statement did not mention what Smith told board members last week -- that the county party is paying "the water and the lights ... and Internet" at the same time Freeman is renting.
On Monday, Smith had a different answer about helping with building expenses.
"He is renting the building ... and to my knowledge ... that's paying for all the use of everything for that facility," Smith said. "If there's anything else, I'm unaware of it."
In its statement, the Hamilton County Democratic Party said "no official HCDP meetings will be held in this space until after the Mar. 5 elections" in order "to reinforce ... impartiality."
On its website Monday night, the party listed 841 E. Main St. as its headquarters.
According to the Democratic National Committee charter, "All meetings of the Democratic National Committee, the Executive Committee, and all other official Party committees, commissions and bodies shall be open to the public."
In a statement sent Monday at 2 p.m., Smith and Harper said, "We have been advised that indeed we can conduct such a [board] meeting without it being open to the press."
Both men said their statement was informed by conversations with "legal experts and a member of the Democratic National Committee."
The local party's public relations specialist voluntarily provided the cellphone number and name of the Democratic National Committee member -- Bill Owen, a former state senator -- and encouraged the Times Free Press to contact him.
In an interview, Owen said the party's statement was wrong, adding that Smith should have followed several steps:
• Open a public board meeting.
• Pass a motion to enter into private executive strategy session.
• Adjourn the public meeting.
• Commence the private strategy session.
• Adjourn the private strategy session.
• Reopen the public meeting.
"He did not follow that exact procedure," Owen said. "Should he have done that? Yes."
An hour after the newspaper contacted Owen, the Hamilton County Democratic Party issued a second statement. It said: " ... technically ... we should have formally adjourned the board meeting and resumed as an executive session."
"Future meetings will be clearly announced as either open board meetings or executive strategy sessions, which will be closed to all press," the second statement said.

It wasn't dissatisfaction with Somerville schools that prompted Tony Pierantozzi's next-door neighbor to move with his two children to a 2,000-square-foot condominium in neighboring Everett.
The decision came down to savings: A similar condominium would have cost him at least $100,000 more in Somerville, said Pierantozzi, the city's school superintendent.
"We find, when we do our exit interviews, a lot of families are moving to surrounding communities where the cost of housing would be, and is, significantly less expensive," Pierantozzi said. "Those school districts are probably demonstrating significant growth."
Everett is among just over a dozen K-12 school districts north of Boston that have experienced a dramatic increase in student enrollment over the past decade, according to a Globe analysis of data from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Since the 2002-2003 school year, Everett's student population increased by 1,186, a 23.8 percent spike. That is second to Winchester, which tops the list of communities north of Boston with a 25 percent increase in enrollment over the same period, the data show. Lynnfield, Revere, and Marblehead round out the top five gainers in the region.
But while some districts are figuring out ways to accommodate their growing enrollments, most are grappling with steep decreases attributed to everything from high housing prices to low birth rates.
Of the 42 K-12 school districts north of Boston, 28 — including Somerville — experienced decreases in student enrollment. Gloucester, where it has become harder to earn a living in the fishing industry, suffered the steepest drop, losing 28 percent of its students between the 2002-2003 and the 2012-2013 school years.
Next is Tewksbury, which saw its enrollment drop by 20.3 percent. Enrollment fell in Stoneham by 18.9 percent; Saugus by 17.7 percent; and Somerville by 16.1 percent. Statewide, enrollment declined 3.6 percent.
Most districts are equipped to handle minor enrollment fluctuations, but when the changes are rapid and dramatic, it can lead to problems: the loss of state aid, or being forced to build unplanned schools, said Jeff Wulfson, deputy commissioner for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
"If enrollment decline extends over a number of years, over time it becomes hard to balance the budget," Wulfson said. "Districts have to deal with cutting back [by way of] fewer buildings, fewer teachers, and that can be difficult."
For districts with increasing enrollments, he said, "even though their state aid goes up, they still need school building assistance, and they'll have to go through [property tax] overrides" to build new schools.
When it comes to the communities experiencing the most student gains, Winchester and Everett could not be more different, said Tim Reardon, manager of planning research for the Metropolitan Area Planning Council .
Winchester has attracted an influx of young families able to afford the large homes vacated by empty-nesters, Reardon said. From 2000 to 2010, more than 800 children under the age of 10 moved to Winchester, according to the council's analysis of population projections.
"It's largely driven by the attractiveness of the school system and the quality of the community," Reardon said. "It has a really good school system and for people who can afford it, they find it to be a nice place to live."
In response to student growth, Winchester will open a larger incarnation of the Vinson-Owen Elementary School next month, with taxpayers covering $18 million of the $28 million cost and the state paying for the rest. The town also is exploring a $130 million renovation and expansion of Winchester High School, said Town Manager Richard Howard. If the high school project is approved by the state, the next step would be to persuade residents to agree to another temporary property tax increase, or debt exclusion, to fund it, he added.
"Some people see [a spike in student enrollment] as a little bit of a negative, but as a local public official, I don't," Howard said. "Having families with two or three children making use of your school system is obviously going to stress the budget for schooling, but it's really the lifeblood of the community."
Significant enrollment gains in Everett, a low-income community with a highly transient population because of its status as a gateway city for immigrants, are attributed to its high birth rate and plentiful, affordable housing stock, Reardon said. Between 2000 and 2010, approximately 6,000 children were born in Everett compared with about 2,400 in Winchester, said Reardon.
Everett anticipates enrolling 500 additional students within the next 30 days, said Thomas J. Stella, assistant school superintendent.
"We're a high-poverty community," Stella said. "One thing we're exceptionally proud of is we have new schools, exceptional teachers, and no user fees for anything."
Stella also credits the city's proximity to Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville — and the fact that it is more affordable than any of those — for attracting new families. But the district's relatively new or newly renovated school building stock may not be enough to keep up with the growing student population, he said.
"What will happen in the more immediate future is an increase in class size," he said. "The average was 19 to 20 [students per classroom] and in the last couple of years it has crept up to 22 to 23. We expect it to go to 24 to 26. . . . We'll need a new elementary school."
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Gloucester, where US Census data show the population has dropped, from 30,273 in 2000 to an estimated 29,191 in 2012.
"It doesn't have the fishing industry anymore, it's not close to employment centers, it doesn't attract young professionals, and it doesn't have the school district that would attract young families," Reardon said. "So they're in a tough spot."
While enrollment in Gloucester dropped 28 percent over the past 10 years, projections from the Massachusetts School Building Authority through 2017 indicate the downward trend will continue, albeit at a much slower rate, said Superintendent Richard Safier.
The district could lose just under 200 K-12 students by 2017, only 31 of those at the K-5 level, said Safier, adding that he does not consider that a crisis. Currently the district is working with the school building authority on a plan to replace the aging West Parish elementary school, a move that could persuade parents who currently send their kids to other communities by way of the School Choice program to come back to Gloucester, he said.
The projections did not take into account the closure of the Gloucester Community Arts Charter School in January, or of the private St. Ann School of Cape Ann in June. Safier said the district already has regained about 120 students from the charter school, and anticipates more from St. Ann.
Tewksbury Superintendent John E. O'Connor said the district responded to its enrollment dip by realigning schools in the 2009-2010 school year, going from four K-4 schools to two K-2 and two for grades 3 and 4.
O'Connor said the district has been impacted by a proliferation of choices for students, who can opt to go to technical, vocational, private, parochial, or charter schools. But for now, he does not see the need to close schools in the district.
"Our long-term outlook is to partner with the Massachusetts School Building Authority to look at building new schools in Tewksbury," O'Connor said.
Statewide, the downward trend might have leveled off, said Wulfson, of the state education department.
"It looks like we just hit the low point," he said. "It's possible that the decline of the last decade is done."Katheleen Conti can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Globe Correspondent Shandana Mufti contributed to this report.

The man who successfully petitioned to put a pot decriminalization proposal on Ferndale's ballot in the upcoming election was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor voter fraud.
Andrew Cissell, 25, is already charged in Oak Park with five felony counts of delivery and manufacture of marijuana. He is free on $50,000 cash bond in that case.
The marijuana charges were filed last month, several weeks after Cissell collected enough signatures to get the pot issue on the Ferndale ballot and went public with his campaign.
Cissell was arraigned Tuesday before Ferndale 43rd District Magistrate J. Patrick Brennan on a charge of making false statements on his pot initiative petitions and released on personal bond.
The charge was filed by Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper's office after Ferndale police turned the voter fraud case over to the Oakland County Sheriff's Department for investigation.
Police have said it appeared Cissell was living at his own house in Oak Park when he registered to vote as a Ferndale resident in June, using his father's address, just before beginning his pot petition drive.
The sheriff's Narcotics Enforcement Team did the investigation that led to the five marijuana charges against Cissell in Oak Park. The question over Cissell's correct address came up after sheriff's investigators did raids at two houses in Oak Park and Cissell's father's house in Ferndale. The Ferndale raid turned up no contraband.
Sheriff's investigators last month said the suspect's father told them Cissell had not lived in Ferndale in three years. His father, John Cissell, made a similar statement to two reporters at one of his son's court hearings in Oak Park last month.
Ferndale City Clerk Cherilynn Brown said Tuesday the pot decriminalization proposal remains on the city ballot for the Nov. 5 election.
"In terms of changing the issue on the ballot or the outcome of the vote there is nothing in election law that speaks to this situation," Brown said.
Brown has sought advice from county and state election officials as the legal cases against Cissell have made their way through the courts. Thus far, it doesn't appear that Cissell's legal troubles will affect the outcome of the pot decriminalization vote next month.
It remains to be seen whether authorities will challenge the outcome of the Ferndale pot proposal if it is approved by voters. Ferndale elected officials several years ago approved dispensaries for medical marijuana to locate in the city. But the one that did open — Clinical Relief — was raided by the county sheriff's SWAT team and seven people connected with the dispensary had charges against them reinstated by the Michigan Court of Appeals last month.
Cissell was working with a statewide pro-marijuana group called the Safer Michigan Coalition until his arrest. The SMC has pot decriminalization proposals on city ballots in Lansing and Jackson.
Ferndale mayoral candidate Craig Covey is now the SMC spokesman for the Ferndale pot proposal.
"Everyone I have talked to has said they are voting 'Yes' on the proposal," Covey said Monday. "They are overwhelmingly in favor of it."
Proposal A in Ferndale would decriminalize the use, possession or transfer of less than an ounce of marijuana on private property by anyone 21 or older.
Ferndale Police Chief Timothy Collins and some city officials have blasted the proposal, saying that cities cannot independently supersede state and federal laws that already prohibit marijuana. Michigan voters approved the use of medical marijuana for registered patients in 2008 with limitations on the amount of possession by patients and caregivers.
Federal law still bans the use or possession of any amount of marijuana.

PHOENIXVILLE — Set to move into the new borough hall early in August, officials are preparing to part with the current borough hall.
"We are working on an agreement with the real estate and auction company Max Spann," Phoenixville Borough Manager Jean Krack said in an email to The Mercury Tuesday. "I hope to have an agreement with them before the end of the month."
If things go as planned, an auction is possible "some time in mid- to late-September," though Krack emphasized "these are estimates."
Several ideas have been pitched for the old borough hall site once operations move to the new one, including one last summer from a non-profit that wished to knock down the old borough hall and create apartments for seniors and those with disabilities.
In a borough council meeting July 9, Krack said the move-in date for the new borough hall is Aug. 5.
"Knock on wood, our goal is to move in, transition and get online and everything on the fifth of August," Krack said.
Krack said the contractor building the hall was "cautiously optimistic" that the move-in would take place then.
The next borough council meeting will likely take place in the new hall, though Krack said it "might be a little rough around the edges."
These estimates are in line with what has been announced since at least late spring in public meetings.

Good morning! I'm coming here because we are out of solutions locally. We have been working with a trainer to socialize and soon start officially training our GP puppy. However, we have had no luck teaching her not to bite. She is literally out of control with biting. We have tried:
- teaching her bite inhibition with a treat (holding a piece of her food in our thumb and forefinger while she licks, closing our fist when she uses teeth, opening again when she licks and rewarding) (this doesn't work after a couple, she starts biting hard and all the way up your arm if you don't open your hand)
- yelping when she bites (she literally ignores this and keeps going)
- a firm "no" when she bites (she literally ignores this and keeps going)
- growling when she bites (she literally ignores this and keeps going)
- ignoring her when she bites (she doesn't care one bit about our attention and keeps going)
- a tap to the nose when she bites (bites back hard after)
- curling her lip under so she bites her own lip instead (doesn't deter her, she keeps biting)
nothing so far has worked! She only gets more upset and bites more and harder. She flails around while making an aggressive noise (not a growl, a different type of noise) and tried to bite anything in sight. She gets very angry and bites very hard. We are at our wits end. I know this can be a stubborn breed and have worked with stubborn breeds before, but this behavior is all new to me. I want to work on correcting it before it gets even further, especially since I'm worried it's gone too far already.

DeKALB – Boundary lines that determine where DeKalb students go to elementary school could change as early as the 2014-15 school year.
At their meeting today, DeKalb School District 428 board members could vote to open a pre-kindergarten/early childhood education center at Chesebro Elementary School. If they approve the proposal, the board would also decide whether to open the center in fall 2013 or fall 2014.
Moving the early education classes out of Brooks, Jefferson and Tyler elementary schools would create open classrooms, space district officials say is needed. But shuffling students creates a ripple effect.
"That is why we asked the board to work with a demographer," Superintendent Jim Briscoe said. "That's going to create some spaces in certain buildings. It doesn't mean we're able to move 28 students back somewhere."
Briscoe said one of the district's major priorities is to create as little disruption as possible for students.
To do that, he said, officials need time. Regardless of when the board approves the opening of the pre-kindergarten/early childhood center, any accompanying boundary changes wouldn't go into effect before the 2014-15 school year.
Briscoe also emphasized that the board has not made any decisions about boundary changes yet.
"If the board decides to open the EC/Pre-K center, we're going to have to look at where to move students," said Briscoe, adding there are many variables that affect the placement of students.
One factor is which schools have "overflowed" students. These are students who are moved to another school in the district when they are unable to fit in their home school. Most of the district's 168 overflowed students are kindergarteners.
The district last altered school attendance boundaries in 2011, when it also instituted a class-size cap of 28 students at the elementary schools, Briscoe said.
Part of the reason for the change was that the district had closed the old Cortland and Malta elementary schools, opened the new Cortland Elementary School and combined some other elementary schools.
"We spent an entire spring and summer with the demographer trying to look at all of the capacities [of the schools]," Briscoe said. "We balanced everything out, and it worked out really well."
Briscoe noted that the 28-student cap is a maximum; many class sizes are smaller.
"Students don't come to you in perfect numbers," Briscoe said.
In any boundary change, Briscoe said it is a priority to keep siblings in the same school.
The district hired Cropper GIS, an Ohio-based firm that generates maps based on complicated sets of information, to plot out the property changes in 2011.
Matthew Cropper, the president and founder of the company, said he's able to show where every student lives in conjunction with nearby schools, roads, and other property information.
"You can get a good understanding of where kids are versus where all the other geography are," Cropper said.
Cropper said they also take into account the distance between students and the school, as well as unknown factors like transfers and new students moving in.
"You can get a real good estimate of what would happen if a boundary change would take effect," Cropper said.
Briscoe emphasized that students would receive the same quality education regardless of what building they attended.
"It is critical to remember our core curriculum is taught at a very high-standard across all of our elementary schools," Briscoe said.
When it first opened, the new Cortland Elementary School had double the space of its predecessor. Now, as the district prepares for the 2013-14 school year, school officials are running into space issues at Cortland and Founders elementary schools.
"There's so many variables – you have to be sensitive to students," Briscoe said. "You don't want to move students regularly unless parents approve of it."
When budgets were better, the school district used to be able to lower class sizes and hire teachers to accommodate extra students. Briscoe said the district can't do that anymore.
Briscoe said he's aware of how this topic can be touchy, and said the district would do its best to communicate with parents if the board moves forward with boundary changes.

Calgary Flames at Colorado Avalanche
(13-20-4) (12-21-5)
7 p.m., Monday, Pepsi Center
TV: Sportsnet Radio: SN 960
The No. 1 prospect in the organization is back after a soul-searching mission in Abbotsford to find his missing swagger. The Flames would dearly love his reinvigorated confidence to translate to the NHL level.

Somehow managed to get lost in the hoopla surrounding the Jarome Iginla trade on his first visit to Calgary since signing an ill-fated offer-sheet (at least from Jay Feaster's point of view) with the Flames.

1. Kids on the Scene: Let the rebuild begin. Injuries have paved the way for youngsters Roman Horak, Max Reinhart and Sven Baertschi to work their way into the lineup. And 22-year-old T.J. Brodie is logging the ice-time of a veteran as the coaching staff tries to mould him into top-pairing defenceman. At this point, wins and losses don't matter nearly as much as the chance to teach — and evaluate — the youngsters in game situations.
2. Only the fourth line by name: Mark Giordano bristled ever so slightly the other night when asked about the performance of the blue-collar trio of Tim Jackman, Steve Begin, and Brian McGrattan. "You can't call them a fourth line right now with the way they're playing," he said. "They're matching up sometimes against the other team's top line, and they're doing a great job. It's all based on hard work. They're getting pucks deep. They're hitting. They're finishing. They're getting pucks to the net. It's pretty to watch."
3. Don't go calling him a one-dimensional enforcer: Question is whether the so-called fourth line will keep it going with Brian McGrattan expected to sit out with a shoulder injury suffered Saturday night on a hit by Vancouver forward Dale Weise. He'll be missed in more ways than one."I don't even know if people realize that with how big and tough and scary he is, that Brian is a funny, funny man," Jackman said. "He says a lot of funny things, and he had the whole penalty box laughing (on Saturday night.).
4. Battle of the Titans (or not): Make no mistake: the major plot line around this game centres on which team will have a better chance at drafting first overall come June. The Flames are riding a five-game losing streak and have somehow dropped 13(!) in a row on the road. The Avs, on the other hand, are coming off a 4-0 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. During the game, Denver Post scribe Adrian Dater (@adater) wrote via Twitter "Avs disgracing the game of hockey again tonight. Just awful performance."
5. Staying the course: Funny thing is, the Flames likely deserved a better fate Saturday in Vancouver (they ran into a hot goaltender in Cory Schneider) and Friday in San Jose (they ran into a better team.) But the flat-out malaise of last Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers appears to have dissipated. "We just have to keep working," Begin said. "We're going to end up winning a game. We're going to have a break, and it's all going to go the right direction from there."

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score | Photo Gallery
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Megan Enyeart homered for the second consecutive day, but it wasn't enough for the Yale softball team, who dropped a doubleheader to Penn at Dewitt Family Field. Jessie Lupardus pitched a seven-hit shutout to lead the Quakers to a 3-0 victory in the first game, and Penn scored seven runs over the final two innings of the second game to erase a 6-1 deficit and win 8-7.
Yale (14-16, 3-5 Ivy) had numerous scoring chances against Lupardus in the first game. The Bulldogs' leadoff batter reached base in five of the seven innings, but nine runners were left on base in the game.
Meg Johnson went 3-for-3 for Yale and Katie Yanagisawa added two hits.
Rebecca Wojciak pitched the first six innings for the Bulldogs and struck out six. She benefitted from some excellent defense. Virginia Waldrop made a fine running catch in foul territory in left to end the second inning. In the sixth, centerfielder Ashley Sloan made an outstanding diving catch with the bases loaded to keep the score close.
The game was scoreless until the fifth when the Quakers got an unearned run. Penn (9-17-1, 4-4 Ivy) then added two runs in the sixth on Kelsey Wolfe's two-run single to right.
Yale got the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning after McKynlee Westman reached on an error and Waldrop singled. Lupardus, though, set down the next three hitters.
Enyeart got the Bulldogs off to a strong start in the second game when she belted a long, three-run homer in the bottom of the first.
The Quakers got one back in the top of the second, but Yale answered with three in the bottom of the inning, all of which scored with two outs. Yanagisawa knocked home the first run with a single, and Lauren Huddleston followed with a single that scored Sloan. Yanagisawa also scored on the play with the help of Penn error.
The Quakers started their comeback by scoring four runs in the sixth. The big hit was Wolfe's two-run double. Sloan's RBI single in the bottom of the sixth increased Yale's lead to 7-5, but Wolfe came up in a big spot in the seventh and delivered again. This time, she hit a long fly ball to left-center that was just out of the reach of Sloan, who made a valiant effort to try and catch it. The three-run triple gave Penn an 8-7 lead.
Lupardus, who had come on in relief in the sixth inning, retired the Bulldogs in the seventh to earn her second win of the day.
The Quakers outhit Yale 11-8 in the game.
The Bulldogs are off until next Saturday when they begin a four-game series with Harvard in Cambridge. The first pitch of the first game is slated for 12:30 p.m.

BOULDER -- Boulder County commissioners approved nearly $2.5 million in emergency spending requests Tuesday morning for initial road and bridge and human services expenses county officials said are needed in the wake of the recent floods.
Commissioners authorized spending $1,895,672 for assessing and repairing Boulder County road and bridge damages and $500,000 for human services needs.
Boulder County budget director Margaret Parish said that's likely only the beginning of the costs the county will incur for its responses to the floods over the past several days and into the future.
The nearly $1.9 million for road and bridge work represents "every dollar that we could find" in the 2013 budget's road and bridge account budget and its emergency reserve, Parish said.
Parish and the commissioners said that spending is being authorized immediately so that county Transportation Department director George Gerstle and his staff can begin work immediately in setting priorities, staging equipment and contracting for the repairs needed to washed-out roads and bridges.
"It's obviously not going to be enough for the job," said Commissioner Elise Jones, but it's a start.
"I'm sure we'll be back," Parish said.
Parish said the $500,000 being shifted from an emergency human services account is also probably just the first step in addressing the needs the county will have to cover in assisting flood victims, including expenses related to operating emergency response centers.

Chelsea players heard referee make racial remark
Chelsea went public for the first time Tuesday with detailed racial abuse allegations against a referee, insisting there was no misunderstanding and that its players heard Mark Clattenburg use the word "monkey" during a Premier League match.
Chairman Bruce Buck opted to end Chelsea's public silence on the claims despite an ongoing investigation by the English Football Association into the events during last month's match against Manchester United.
But Clattenburg is no longer being investigated by the police due to a lack of evidence. The probe was sparked by the Society of Black Lawyers complaining based on media reports, but neither Chelsea nor its players approached the Metropolitan Police.
"Enquires were made and no victims have come forward ... without a victim and/or any evidence that any offence has been committed, the matter cannot currently be investigated," the force said in a statement.
European champion Chelsea has been criticized for lodging a complaint with the FA while still backing captain John Terry, who has just served a four-match ban for racially abusing an opponent.
But Buck said in an interview with the London Evening Standard that Chelsea had a duty to report the allegations after black midfielders John Obi Mikel and Ramires said they heard the offending word.
"Suppose we had tried to sweep this under the rug and said to the various players, 'Look, it's not a big deal and the press are going to be all over us, maybe you want to reconsider,"' Buck was quoted as saying in Tuesday's edition of the paper. "If that had leaked out, we would've really been crucified."
Buck is sure the allegations are not baseless, amid suggestions the players might have misheard Clattenburg, who is yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
"I spoke to the players involved, either because they were allegedly the recipient of that abuse or had heard it, three separate times," the American lawyer said. "I asked them if they could be mistaken. I asked them if they might have heard 'Mikel' instead of 'monkey.' I thought I had covered that base."
Chelsea's decision to complain to the FA was taken without considering how it would be connected to Terry's ban for racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand last year yet still retaining the captaincy.
"The press seem to juxtapose 'our support' of John Terry and what's going on here, and looking at us as being a bit hypocritical," Buck said. "We have to divorce the John Terry situation from this. From our perspective, the latest situation was pretty straightforward.
"We have an obligation to report what may be misconduct. We did that, in good faith and not maliciously."
Chelsea's complaint against Clattenburg has been criticized by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who said he doesn't believe the allegations. United won the match at Stamford Bridge 3-2 with Javier Hernandez scoring from an offside position after Chelsea duo Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres had been sent off.
"The reaction has been very unfair," Buck said. "We weren't interested in any confrontation with the referee or anybody else, had no thoughts of revenge on the referee. He made two obvious mistakes (sending Torres off and allowing Hernandez's goal) which changed the tide.
"I felt we had the moral high ground, so I didn't really feel that bad about the defeat or have that feeling in my stomach."
Clattenburg has not refereed since the allegations arose, although he resumed training on Monday with other topflight officials.

Hartsville, S.C. – Coker took home a pair of wins on Friday, as they swept their non-conference double-header with Clarion University winning game one 10-4, followed by a 10-7 win in game two. The wins improve Coker to 12-9 on the year, while Clarion falls to 1-7 overall.
Game One
In the first game Clarion jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, but that would be all the lead Coker would allow, as the Cobras scored two runs in the bottom of the first, along with three runs in the fourth, two in the fifth and another three in the sixth. The Golden Eagles scored a run in the sixth and two in the seventh, for the 10-4 final.
Chris Thomas (Bluffton, SC) (3-1) earned the win, allowing just one run on six hits with four strikeouts in four innings of work, while Clarion's Erik Kempton took the loss, going 3.2 innings, allowing four runs on six hits, with a pair of Ks.
Ricky Deleandro (Mentor, OH) and Taylor Evans (Arvada, CO) each had three hits with an RBI for the Cobras, with Deleandro hitting a triple and scoring three runs and Evans hitting a double and scoring one run. Kyle Walker (Centralia, IL) also had multiple hits for Coker, while driving in and scoring a run and Jessie Crockett (North East, MD) was 1–for-4 with a solo homer.
For the Golden Eagles, Matt Rossi was 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBIs and a run scored, while Andrew Petruska and Jeremy Womer each had two hits, including a double for each hitter. Matt White was 1-for-3 with a solo home run for Clarion.
Game Two
It was a back and forth game through the first four innings, as neither team would concede to the other. Coker was first to get on the board with two runs in the second inning, but Clarion answered with two runs of their own in the top half of the third. Both teams exchanged three run innings in the fourth, but Coker finally got ahead with a run in the fifth and then a four run sixth gave the Cobras the lead for good. Clarion again looked to be battling back in the seventh, scoring a pair of runs, but that would be all the Coker defense would allow, as they held on for the 10-7 win.
Josh Daniels (Troy, IL) (1-3) earned his first win on the mound for the Cobras, going five strong innings, allowing five runs on eight hits with a pair of strikeouts, while Matt White took the loss for Clarion, allowing five runs on four hits in two innings of relief work.
Kevin Schlange (Carson City, NV) and Matt Ammons (Chester, SC) each had two hits and two RBIs for the Cobras, while Brian Luchsinger (Farmingville, NY) had three hits, including a double with an RBI. Ellis Logeman (Suwanee, GA) had a double and an RBI, with Brinley Griffin (Port St. John, FL) and Walker each picking up a hit and an RBI.
For Clarion, Adam Foltz was 2-for-3 with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored, while Matt White was 2-for-4 with a double and Sean Zimmerman and Chad White each had two hits for the Golden Eagles.
Coker and Clarion will complete a four game series on Saturday, with a double-header starting at 11:00 a.m. at Tom J. New Field.

The NHL record for consecutive losses on the road is 38, so even though it's possible the Blackhawks will not win another away game this season, the schedule will deny the Hawks a run at the record until 2004-05.
Mercifully, the Hawks have only 13 road games left.
The streak is now 19 after Thursday night's 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Hawks have the fourth-longest road losing streak in NHL history, behind Ottawa (38), Washington (37) and the old California Golden Seals (24).
Showing a knack for making even the worst special teams look great, the Hawks' power-play unit didn't score and gave up two short-handed goals--the 10th and 11th this season--to tie Pittsburgh for most in the league.
The Hawks were 0-for-6 against the 30th-ranked penalty-killing unit in the league.
Shawn Horcoff's short-handed goal, in which Hawks goalie Craig Anderson poked the puck to a diving Bryan Berard, who kicked it into the net, tied the game in the second period.
The Hawks had taken the lead 45 seconds into the game when a Berard shot went off Kyle Calder's skate and past Edmonton goalie Tommy Salo.
The Hawks could have gone into the dressing room after the first period with a bigger lead were it not for the play of Salo.
"He was borderline unconscious," Hawks coach Brian Sutter said.
Salo dived and batted a shot from Steve Sullivan out of the air before it could go into an empty net midway through the first period, then made another fantastic save to deny Mark Bell in the final minute.
Salo also made a great stop off Berard early in the second period. He also got a little lucky. Jason Strudwick had a rare short-handed breakaway and flipped a shot off the post.
With Salo shutting the door, the Hawks couldn't keep pushing.
"It's only human when you're on the bench and you're not scoring goals to think we should be up 4-0 and here we go again," Berard said. "Those are things we need to learn. It's frustrating."
Thursday was Strudwick's first game since injuring his knee Jan. 18 against Los Angeles. With Strudwick back in the lineup, rookie defenseman Lasse Kukkonen was scratched and is likely to be sent back to Norfolk soon.
After tying the game, Edmonton took control with a pair of goals in a span of 1 minute 6 seconds. Ex-Hawk Ethan Moreau skated unmolested through the middle of the ice, then flipped a backhand that Georges Laraque deflected past Anderson for his first goal of the season.
Horcoff then got his second when he tipped a Ryan Smyth shot over Anderson to make it 3-1 going into the third period.
"They got a little momentum," Anderson said. "It was a good tip on the second goal, and the guy went over my head on the third."
Ryan VandenBussche left the game early in the first period after being drilled by Oilers defenseman Igor Ulanov. Team officials didn't disclose the nature of VandenBussche's injury.

Many parents ask why they can't just feed their baby regular cow's milk. The answer is simple: Young infants cannot digest cow's milk as completely or easily as they digest formula. Also, cow's milk contains high concentrations of protein and minerals, which can stress a newborn's immature kidneys and cause severe illness at times of heat stress, fever, or diarrhea. In addition, cow's milk lacks the proper amounts of iron, vitamin C, and other nutrients that infants need. It may even cause iron-deficiency anemia in some babies, since cow's milk protein can irritate the lining of the stomach and intestine, leading to loss of blood into the stools. Cow's milk also does not contain the healthiest types of fat for growing babies. For these reasons, your baby should not receive any regular cow's milk for the first twelve months of life.
Once your baby is past one year old, you may give him whole cow's milk, provided he has a balanced diet of solid foods (cereals, vegetables, fruits, and meats). But limit his intake of milk to one quart (32 ounces or 946 ml) per day. More than this can provide too many calories and may decrease his appetite for the other foods he needs. If your baby is not yet eating a broad range of solid foods, talk to your pediatrician about the best nutrition for him.
At this age, children still need a higher fat content, which is why whole vitamin D milk is recommended for most infants after one year of age. If your child is overweight or at risk for being overweight, or if there is a family history of obesity, high blood pressure, or heart disease, your pediatrician may recommend 2% milk (reduced fat) instead. Do not give your baby 1% (low-fat) or nonfat (skimmed) milk before his second birthday. In addition to needing a higher fat content to maintain normal weight gain, it is also important to help his body absorb vitamins A and D. Also, nonfat, or skimmed, milk provides too high a concentration of protein and minerals and should not be given to infants or toddlers under age two. After two years of age, you should discuss your child's nutritional needs, including choice of low-fat or nonfat milk products, with your pediatrician.

These farmers should be a part of Florida's future
By STEVE OTTO
The Tampa Tribune
OK, so my expectations weren't that high to begin with, meandering down a midway path at the fair caught up in its cacophony of lights and smells.
It was Monday, the last night of the Florida State Fair, and I expected jeans and sneakers and even the weird style of guys trying to walk with their pants down to their knees trying to look cool without falling on their faces. And I'm used to the tattoos, even if they've put the old carnie tattooed lady out of business.
