Red Wings-Bruins wrap-up and overnight report: with 4-day break ahead, Wings drop one to learn from

Updated with Wings video at 5:42 AM: The Detroit Red Wings flew home after capturing four of six possible points while playing three games in four nights, defeating Buffalo on Wednesday and Carolina in OT on Friday, but dropping a 4-1 decision to the Boston Bruins in a Saturday night affair that reminded both the Wings and their fans that this team has a signficant amount of work ahead of it before it can go toe-to-toe with the "beasts of the east."
Just as importantly, the Wings now embark upon a slate of four straight days of rest before beginning a stretch of 5 games in 8 nights, anchored by a Columbus Day matinee (1 PM start?) in their second and final trip to Boston a week from Monday.
As such, we should know quite a bit more about the "readiness" of the Wings to tangle with their toughest division rival after the Wings have more practice time and a few more games' worth of Mike Babcock and Tom Renney refining the power play and penalty-killing units (neither of which have been very good), as well as more scoring out of the "bottom six" (ditto) and perhaps more responsible and north-south defensive play from the DeKeyser-Kindl and Quincey-Smith pairings (ditto, to some extent).
That being said, for the second night in a row, the Wings gave up the game's first goal, for the second night in a row, they over-passed the puck in their own zone, failed to clear the puck because of said over-passing, displayed serious difficulties skating through the neutral zone with speed against a trapping team, and aside from Justin Abdelkader, very few Wings were willing to plant their asses in front of Tuuka Rask.
In terms of covering tonight's game, I cannot deny that Boston's disparate coverage and the multitude of newspapers and/or online sources in Massachusetts yields a daunting and complex picture that overwhelms me in terms of trying to get as much pertinent information to you as possible.
I can tell you that the Bruins press corps' thrust involved the team's strong start, as noted by the Boston Herald's Steve Conroy...
The Bruins improved to 2-0 with a solid 4-1 victory over an albeit tired Detroit Red Wings team at the Garden on Saturday.
Detroit was playing it's third game in four nights and were on the second half of a back-to-back but, while that surely played some factor, it couldn't have been the sole reason for the B's convincing victory. After an uneven performance in the season opening win over the Lightning, the B's played much better Saturday night, peppering Jimmy Howard with 37 seconds shots and giving little to the Red Wings offensively.
"I think it was important for (the Wings) to get off to a good start," said coach Claude Julien. "It was their third game in four nights so for teams like that, it's important to get off to a good start and try to establish a lead. Because if the other team does, then you're having to push the pace and it's a little bit tougher for those kind of guys. But we were fortunate enough to open up the game with the first goal, and they tied it up but we just came back and kept plugging away here. Even in the third period where we knew they'd probably try and stretch things out a little bit and get their D's activated a little bit more, I thought our guys did a good job through the neutral zone and then we pushed the puck the other way."
And the vast majority of the Bruins' scribes talked about the B's 2-for-4 power play performance, keyed by Livonia's Torey Krug, as noted by ESPN Boston's Joe McDonald...
"[Krug]'s a big part of it," Julien said. "I've talked about it before, Zdeno was on the point because we didn't have a ton of other options but now we do. We've added [Dougie] Hamilton to that group and Krug. The mobility has increased back there, so it allows us to move [Krug] into the position he's better suited for."
Boston quickly capitalized on its first power play of the night when Krug's slap shot from just inside the blue line beat Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 9:11 of the first period. Chara was camped out in front and set the screen as Krug's shot whistled past everyone and beat Howard.
Because Krug has a knack for getting his shot through, Julien wants him to shoot when given the opportunity.
"That's what we talk about; if you don't have a play throw it down in front and Z's going to battle for it," Krug said. "Having Z and [Milan] Lucic down there, if we miss the net or if we just throw it down there, there's a good chance we're getting the puck back. We have a good setup and we're excited about what we can do this year. We need to continue to work on it because it's not just going to continue to have success like that."
Chara added the team's second power-play goal at 12:17 of the third period to give Boston a 4-1 lead. He beat Howard with a backhander to the top right corner.
The Bruins' penalty-killing unit is a perfect 7-for-7 in the first two games of the season, but Boston's PK has always been solid. Now that the power play is working well, the players are pleased with the special teams.
"I love watching the power play, especially when they're clicking," said Chris Kelly, won of the Bruins' penalty killers. "Those were two huge goals for us tonight and it ended up being the difference. They're moving the puck around well. They're outworking the penalty killers and that's a major thing. It's your best players on the power play and when they go out there and outwork the other team's penalty kill good things are going to happen."
And Chara's status as a successful net-front presence yielded equal attention, as noted by NESN's Mike Cole:
The Bruins' not-so-secret weapon on that PP1 unit, however, has been Zdeno Chara. The captain has taken up residency in front of the opposition net, which is mainly a product of his size. Chara's 6-foot-9 frame takes up a lot of space, and it makes it very difficult for opposing goalies to see pucks. That was certainly the case on Krug's goal in the first period on Saturday night.
"It's not easy when there's someone that's 6-foot-9 standing in front of you," Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard admitted after the game. "It's something that you've got to figure out, and find a way to try and find the puck. But it's extremely difficult with him in front."
Chara's power-play prowess isn't exclusive to just being "the really, really big guy who stands in front of the net and tries to screen the goalie." The big blue liner is also remarkably good with his stick. He has an incredibly long reach, which allows him to get to loose pucks especially against a shorthanded team. Not only does Chara use his size and reach to his strength, he's also got a remarkable ability to control the puck and do what he wants with it.
"I think I talked to [Krejci] about it," Krug said. "He was like, 'What should I do with the puck?' I was like, 'I don't know, just give it to [Chara], throw it in the corner for him.' You know he's going to win the battle nine out of 10 times so it's nice to have him on our side."
WEEI's Scott McLaughlin noted that Chara's standing in front of opposing goalies because the Bruins have more depth on the blueline...
[Because] Claude Julien now has Krug at his disposal, he decided to try something different with Chara. Instead of trying to take advantage of Chara's shot, Julien moved Chara down low hoping to take advantage of his size. Chara has played down low in select situations before — think Patrice Bergeron's tying goal in Game 7 against Toronto — but never on a regular basis.
"Zdeno was on the point because we felt we didn't have a ton of other options," Julien said. "Now we do. We've added a [Dougie] Hamilton to our group. We've added a Krug. The mobility has increased back there. That allows us to move [Chara] into a position where we felt he'd be better-suited for us."
So far it's worked. Chara set a perfect screen on Krug's goal Saturday night. But as Julien was quick to point out after the game, Chara does more than just stand in front of the goalie and take up space.
The Bruins captain has worked at retrieving pucks in the corners and behind the net, and Julien said he has seen a lot of improvement in that area. Put Milan Lucic out there, too, and it makes it extremely difficult for any penalty kill to out-muscle the Bruins' top power-play unit down low.
Chara shrugged off the praise while speaking with the Boston Herald's Stephen Harris...
"It doesn't mean because you have a man-advantage that everything is just going to work for you," Chara said. "You have to work really hard and try to win those battles and races for the puck. Detroit is one of the best teams in the league. We knew it would be a big challenge. They have a good team, a good system and very dangerous guys. So yeah, we wanted to have a strong game, and for the most part we did. I'm just trying to work hard — get into those battles and try to win them."
Is he having fun playing up front on the power play?
"It's always been the basis of my game to just work hard," he said. "While you're doing it, you might as well enjoy it. Whatever I'm designated to be, I'm just trying to do my job."
Though Chris Kelly's full quip to the Boston Bruins website's Caryn Switaj may have summarized the Bruins' feelings about Saturday's win...
"I love watching the power play," smiled Chris Kelly, one of the Bruins' top penalty killers that has helped keep that aspect of special teams so dominant.
"Especially when they're clicking. That was two huge goals for us tonight, and it ended up being the difference. They're moving the puck around well and they're all working the penalty kill," he added, knowing the experience of the other side.
"And that's a major thing when you've got a power play that goes out there, and out-works the other team's penalty kill."
And you could say the same for what Jimmy Howard had to say prior to addressing Chara's dominant play:
"They won in every statistic tonight, every battle," Howard said, before giving his thoughts on trying to see around the Bruins' captain.
"It's not easy when there's someone that's 6-foot-9 standing in front of you. It's something that you've got to figure out, and find a way to try and find the puck. But it's extremely difficult with him in front."
ESPN Boston's McDonald noted that the Bruins received what the Wings have not from the Bertuzzi-Andersson-Cleary line in a clutch offensive performance from their third line of Jordan Caron, Chris Kelly and Reilly Smith:
Caron and Smith combined on a nifty goal at 7:58 of the second period to give Boston a 3-1 lead. Smith collected the puck in slot, showed great poise before passing the puck to Caron, who beat Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard.
"It was a great pass," Caron said. "He really took his time there. He could have shot it himself and he made a really smart play to slide it back door and it was a great pass."
Caron has played well the first two games of the season. It's evident he's playing with confidence. He's going to the net more and creating quality scoring chances. During Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the season opener, Caron should have been awarded a goal but it was declined when the referee lost sight of the puck and blew the play dead.
McDonald also noted a colllision which required a middle-of-the-night-Twitter ruling from Brendan Shanahan to resolve:
After scoring his first goal of the season 36 seconds into the second period, Marchand was injured on the next shift when the Red Wings' Justin Abdelkader caught him with a blindside hit away from the puck in front of the Bruins' net. Marchand remained almost motionless on the ice and was tended to by team trainer Don DelNegro. Fortunately, Marchand skated off the ice on his own and went directly to the locker room. He returned to the bench a few minutes later and was back on the ice and finished the game.
The Patriot-Ledger's Mike Loftus noted that the Bruins took issue with the Wings' game-tying goal, too:
The Wings matched Krug's goal at 16:49 of the first period, on a play that should have been blown dead when the puck hit a Detroit player's glove resting on the top of the boards. The B's answered in the first minute of the second period, when Brad Marchand made it 2-1 by picking the far side on Howard from the right circle.
The Bruins' press offers a significant amount of "thoughts," "takeaways" and asundry observations, including the following from Comcast Sportsnet Northeast's Danny Picard...
BLACK EYE: Patrice Bergeron had zero shots and lost 11-of-19 face-offs in a showdown with fellow perennial Selke Trophy candidate Pavel Datsyuk, and didn't have one of his better nights. It's still early in the season and Datsyuk is one of the NHL's best, so it sets up for a nice divisional showdown between these two throughout the season. Really, there were no black eyes for the B's in such a solid victory against an excellent Red Wings team they caught playing their third game in four nights.
But my unwillingness to spend $4 a week to subscribe to the Boston Globe means that Amalie Benjamin's recap with quotes will go unread, at least by my eyes, and instead, Bruins Daily's Tim Rosenthal's "takeaways" merit mentioning...
With the Red Wings playing their third game in four nights, the pickings were there for the taking. And the Bruins did just that.
From the get go, the Black and Gold were stronger and faster. They won several battles for loose pucks and outmuscled the Wings in the corner, making Jimmy Howard's night frustrating.
"We were aware of that," Patrice Bergeron said about the Red Wings' opening week schedule, "but we knew they're a good team no matter what. We needed to bring our best and I thought we did that overall for the whole game and we found a way. They're a great team, but we played solid defense and that translated into some of those scoring chances for us."
The only blemish for the Black and Gold came at the face off dot, where, surprisingly, they won just 25 of 57 draws to the Red Wings. Other than that, the B's outshot the Wings by a 37-26 margin and had a 23-16 advantage in hits. This proves that numbers never lie.
Numbers lie all the time, but what do I know, I've got an English degree...
For the last few years, the power play has been the source of much ridicule in The Hub of Hockey. Whether it came from sports radio or social media, the jokes about the man advantage seemed endless.
But things slowly changed on the power play when Torey Krug came in during last year's playoffs. After his strong showing, especially with the man advantage, some pundits suggested that the Bruins power play would improve for the 2013-14 season. On Saturday night, the B's proved their pundits right going 2-for-4 with the man advantage.
"The coaching staff did a good job of preparing us for what they were bringing and they guys executed and we did a good job tonight," said Krug, who faced his hometown team for the first time in his career.
The Boston Herald's Conroy offered superb interplay between Wings and Bruins comments...
"They controlled the whole game, from the drop of the puck to the end of the game," said Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard, who saw 37 shots and refused to give fatigue as an excuse. "They pretty much dominated in every aspect."
The Bruins didn't allow the Red Wings to play their vaunted puck-possession game, which can look like a game of keep-away when it's going well. Tuukka Rask faced 26 shots, allowing just one Henrik Zetterberg strike in the first period that tied the game briefly, but the B's goalie didn't see a lot of testers.
"We played such a good game as a team that I didn't have to do a lot," Rask said. "No back-door plays or anything like that, no odd-man rushing or anything, just one shot and trying to take care of that rebound; our guys took care of it. So that's why it was a really, really good game for the second game of the season."
Chara played a big role on both power-play goals. Krug scored his first NHL regular-season goal with the 6-foot-9 Chara screening Howard from his new net-front position for a 1-0 lead in the first. Chara then took a feed from Krug and beat Howard on a nifty backhand shot that made it 4-1 and salted the game away in the third.
After an uneven performance in limited opportunities in the season opener, the power-play units were able to gain better zone entries and win the important puck battles.
"If we can score four goals a game, that'd be great," Rask said. "Our power play looked really good. Guys were moving the puck and creating shots. And when they have those opportunities, they're taking the shots, which has not always been the case."
As did SouthCoast Today's Mick Colageo...
"Detroit is one of the best teams in the league and I knew it would be a challenge," said Zdeno Chara. "They always give you a challenge, they've always had a good team, good system, and they're very dangerous guys. So yeah, we wanted to have a strong game and for the most part I thought we did."
"I thought we played a great game right from the start," said Tuukka Rask (25 saves). "We realized the fact that was their third game in four nights and we wanted to put the pressure on their D and keep the puck in their end, and I think we managed to do that the full 60 minutes."
One of the things Red Wings coach Mike Babcock credited the Bruins with regarding their special-teams dominance tonight was Boston's compete level. Now maybe it wasn't as high as Damon Amendolara's, but it got Babcock's attention.
"(The Bruins) were better on the penalty kill (2-for-2) and the powerplay (the Bruins went 2-for-4), said Detroit coach Mike Babcock. "They were harder on it. They were more efficient. They won way more battles than we did."
Detroit's No. 1 defenseman, Niklas Kronwall, on the Bruins: "Well Boston is one of the most structured teams in the East I'm sure, and they played really solid tonight all over the ice and we didn't play very good at all," he said. "We didn't give ourselves a chance and it'd be a true test if we really showed something out there tonight, but we didn't and that's why we lost."
And with that, I'll use a rare Reuters recap to shift our focus from the comments made by the Bruins' players and coach to those made by the frustrated Red Wings team (and coach):
Henrik Zetterberg scored Detroit's only goal and Jimmy Howard had a busy night for the Red Wings, stopping 33 of the 37 shots he faced.
"They won in every statistic tonight," Howard said. "Every battle. I'm not going to make that excuse that we were tired or anything like that because I kind of think it's pathetic. We need a better effort out of all of us."
Detroit was outshot 14-5 in the first period and lost for the first time this season. The Red Wings failed to score on two power plays, making them 0-for-5 in their first three games of the season.
"I think in the other two games we at least created a lot of chances but the puck hasn't gone in. Today wasn't good," said Zetterberg, who put in a rebound to tie it at 1 with 3:11 left in the first period. "We had a lot of turnovers and giveaways today. They're fast in their transition. When you play a good team like this you've got to have good structure yourself and we didn't have that."
NHL.com's Matt Kalman's recap is Bruins-centric, so I'm just going to note that the following made an official NHL recap...
Detroit capitalized on some tough play in the neutral zone and a fortuitous oversight by the officials to pull even at 1-1 before the period ended. During a Bruins rush prior to the tying goal, the puck appeared (and replays proved) to leave the playing surface and hit a player on the Detroit bench. The whistle didn't blow and with 3:11 remaining before the first intermission, Zetterberg's shot from the left faceoff dot tied the game. Zetterberg got the puck off a long rebound off an Abdelkader shot.
And the AP's recap only offers Red Wings-related liner notes:
Howard entered 3-0 with a 1.62 goals against in his career versus Boston. ... The Bruins and Red Wings meet in TD Garden again on Columbus Day. ... The Red Wings had killed off their first seven short-handed situations before Krug's goal. ... Boston F Lucic is two goals shy of 100 for his career. ... David Ortiz's second homer of the Red Sox-Rays ALDS game was shown on the Jumbotron late in the second period, drawing a huge roar from the TD Garden crowd. The final out was also shown, with a louder response. ... Boston's Smith played against his brother -- Red Wings D Brendan Smith.
What did the Red Wings have to say to their own press corps?
They were blunt, as the Free Press's Helene St. James noted:
"We didn't play, at all," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "They did a good job, and we didn't. We weren't even there. It felt like we were a step behind the whole game. We didn't give ourselves a chance."
Jimmy Howard was the only reason the Wings could maintain hopes of a rally until late in the third period, turning away 33 shots. The Bruins, he said, "controlled the whole game, from the drop of the puck to the end of the game; they pretty much dominated in every aspect."
The Wings finished with 26 shots, 15 of them stemming from the second period. They had two shots for much of the third period.
"We never got on the inside," coach Mike Babcock said. "We were on the outside too much. I didn't think we were good tonight. Making an assessment after a game you didn't play very well is probably not a healthy thing to do."
The Bruins pressured on power plays, collapsed around Rask on penalty kills and used their depth to force the Wings back into their zone time and again.
"We played slow," Daniel Cleary said. "It didn't look like us."
St. James' notes and quotes from the game include the following:
Jimmy Howard on having Chara in front of the crease: "It's not easy when there's someone that's 6-foot-9 standing in front of you. It's something that you've got to figure out. It's extremely difficult with him in front." ... Tuukka Rask on how the Bruins played: "I thought we played a great game right from the start. We played such a good game as a team that I didn't have to do a lot of back-door plays, no odd-man rushing. They have a lot of skill, so you just have to be on your toes all the time."
The Wings continued while speaking with the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan...
"They won in every statistic tonight, every battle," goalie Jimmy Howard said. "I'm not going to to make that excuse that we're tired or anything like that. But we need a better effort out of all of us."
The Red Wings ended 2-1 in a season-opening three-games-in-four-nights stretch. This was expected to easily be the most difficult opponent and it was. The Bruins didn't let the Red Wings venture close to goalie Tuukka Rask, using their size and physicality, and outworking the Red Wings.
"We weren't very good," coach Mike Babcock said. "We didn't play hard enough, trust each other enough, or do what we're supposed to do. They were better than us."
Zetterberg fired the puck past Rask at 16:49, tying the game 1-1. It was Zetterberg's 265th career goal, passing Nicklas Lidstrom (264) and tying John Ogrodnick for eighth place on the Red Wings' all-time list.
"They play a good structure and we had a lot of turnovers," Zetterberg said. "You play a good team like that you have to have structure and we didn't. Playing a back-to-back you have to keep it simple and stick to your game plan and we didn't do that."
And I don't usually give MLive's Ansar Khan's quote-less recaps much bandwidth, but these stats bear mentioning:
Henrik Zetterberg scored the lone goal for the Red Wings, who are 2-1-0 despite scoring only six goals in three games, below their average of 2.54 last season.
The Bruins (2-0-0) were quick on transition and opportunistic. They converted on two-of-four power plays and outshot the Red Wings 37-26.
The Red Wings had won four in a row against the Bruins, whose last win in this series came on Nov. 29, 2008 (4-1 at Boston). The teams hadn't met since Nov. 25, 2011 (Red Wings won 3-2 in a shootout at Boston).
This is another Original Six rivalry rekindled with realignment. It figures to be a good one. The teams meet again in Boston on Oct. 14. They'll meet twice in Detroit, Nov. 27 and April 2.
This seriously bears mentioning, too, from Khan's with-quotes recap:
It was the Red Wings' first loss after two wins, and even though it's early in the season, they didn't simply brush it aside. Players were genuinely upset about their effort and execution. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall said their collective brain "wasn't really working,'' causing them to be a step behind the whole night.
"We didn't play at all,'' Kronwall said. "We weren't even there. Felt like we were a step behind the whole game. Give them credit, they're a good team, they played well tonight but we didn't give ourselves a chance.''
The captain agreed...
"If you're going to win against a team like Boston you got to have good special teams,'' Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "They kept us outside, we couldn't find a way to get in for rebounds and second chances.''
Zetterberg's goal at 16:49 of the first tied it at 1-1. The Red Wings played the night before in Carolina, winning 3-2 in overtime, while the Bruins were off. But players never use that as an excuse.
"We played slow. We didn't play fast, we didn't have our legs,'' forward Daniel Cleary said. "They're a good team. We just didn't play well tonight. We're a way better team than that.''
And Babcock was in full growl:
"I just thought they had way more energy than we did,'' Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We didn't execute good enough.''
Babcock called three of the Bruins' goals gifts.
"I'm not trying to take away from their effort,'' Babcock said. "I thought they were better than us from the start to the end. Was that because we didn't have enough energy, stick-to- itiveness or what? But we didn't play hard enough, trust each other enough or do what we're supposed to do.''
The Wings have a week and two games to figure out what they're supposed to do against teams like Boston--because, after they play the plucky Coyotes and the Flyers, they head into Boston on Monday the 12th, host another terror team in the Wing-beating Blue Jackets on the 13th, and the Wings will head out West for a quick trip to Colorado and Phoenix before hosting the Sharks, Senators and Rangers during October's final full week.
The schedule ahead gets harder and harder, and this four-day break won't come again until January 5th. The Wings need to rest up, practice well and get ready for the long slough.

Red Wings notebooks: I'm not going to get all gushy over the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan's profile of Torey Krug. Instead, I'll note his Wings-related comments...
Forward Tomas Tatar made his regular-season debut Saturday, playing 9 minutes, 8 seconds on 16 shifts in the loss to the Bruins. With Tatar in the lineup, Mikael Samuelsson was a healthy scratch.
"I've been waiting for a chance. Coach said to be ready," said Tatar, who scored four goals in 18 games with the Red Wings last season and then starred during Grand Rapids' run to the Calder Cup championship.
Coach Mike Babcock has always liked Tatar's instincts offensively and his willingness to go into tough areas.
"He likes the puck, and he's not scared of it, he goes gets it," Babcock said. "He can score from in tight. He's a kid going in the right direction and he brings enthusiasm. Obviously he has to do it every game in the NHL."
And oy, vey, has the power play been bad...
The Red Wings are 0-for-8 on the power play this season through three games.
"It wasn't good tonight," said Babcock of the power play. "They were better on the penalty kill and the power play than us. They were harder on it. They were more efficient. They won way more battles than we did. It looked like their energy level was high and it looked like ours wasn't."
Thus, practice is necessary.
The Free Press's Helene St. James also penned an article about Tatar, who didn't impress on Saturday...
His offensive skill is why he got into the lineup Saturday at TD Garden, as the Wings sought to show more toughness in the offensive zone against one of the best teams in the NHL. Tatar didn't play badly through 10 minutes, he even had a little breakaway though he pulled up short, but the Wings suffered their first loss of the season after falling, 4-1.
"Normally I don't change a winning lineup," coach Mike Babcock said. "I just was looking for more, and I didn't get it."
But has impressed his teammates in a big way:
"He's one of those guys that the puck follows him around," Johan Franzen said. "He's not afraid to make plays, either."
Daniel Cleary described Tatar as "a puck hound."
Tatar delivered seven points in 18 games with Detroit last season, before being sent to the minors. He was named AHL playoff MVP after helping the Griffins to the Calder Cup last spring with 21 points in 24 games.
"Going to the Calder Cup final and winning the thing and being the leading scorer, is a real positive for him in his career," Babcock said. "Now, obviously, now he's got to do it every day in the National Hockey League."
That's Tatar's theory, too:
"There's going to be lots of games this season," Tatar said. "It's 82 games. There's going to be lots of changes to the lineup. Just, be patient and I'm sure the chances are coming."
Tatar wasn't very good on Saturday, but even Joakim Andersson looked ordinary. The "bottom six" have to take pressure off the Datsyuk-Zetterberg combo and the Weissfredsson line, big time, and the "kids" on defense, Jakub Kindl included, need to take two steps forward after having taken three back between Friday and Saturday.
But it's early yet...
This note from the MetroWest Daily News's Dan Cagen's interesting, as he snagged quotes from Claude Julien and Patrice Bergeron about #37's similarities to Pavel Datsyuk...
"Two great two-way players," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "You saw Datsyuk in action here the one night when we didn't have Patrice in the lineup, and you could see the type of damage that he could do. There's no doubt that he's an elite player, but we're fortunate to have Patrice, who we feel is an elite player as well."
With the Red Wings moving to the Eastern Conference and facing the Bruins four times in the Atlantic Division, it's good times for fans of old-time hockey (more like Ron Francis than Eddie Shore).
"Obviously he's a very smart player and tough to play against," Bergeron said of Datsyuk. "I think it's going to be a good challenge to play Detroit and a good challenge to play him and his line."
And he also noted that Brendan and Reilly Smith resumed hostilities sans parents in tow:
Parents Lester and Diedre Smith won't be in attendance Saturday, but are planning to come for the Columbus Day rematch at the Garden.
The other Smith brother is also a pro athlete. Rory Smith plays for the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League.
All three brothers actually played lacrosse and hockey as kids — hockey in the winter and lacrosse in the summer. It's possible Reilly might have ended up a lax player too.
"Absolutely it could have happened," he said. "I think it was my Grade 11 year, I was going to play lacrosse and I played hockey instead. So it kind of just figured itself out and I went to Miami University from there."
This story from the Detroit Free Press's Joe Rexrode is plain old inspiring--seriously:
Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall saw Anthony Ianni speak on autism and bullying at a golf outing last year, and Kronwall now provides tickets to a different family living with autism for each Wings home game.
Lions receiver Nate Burleson also got involved with the Autism Alliance of Michigan, Ianni's employer, after hearing him speak. Validations of Ianni's work come from a variety of sources, including four middle school girls with autism in Portland, Ore., who shared their challenges with him after a recent speech there.
"This is worth every second of it and it comes with great reward," said Ianni, a former Michigan State basketball player who has worked with the Southfield-based AAoM since shortly after his graduation in 2012. "I just love doing what I do every day, spreading a message of hope and inspiration to people who need it."
It's a personal message — Ianni, the son of MSU deputy athletic director Greg Ianni, was diagnosed with autism as a young child and his parents were told at the time that he'd likely never graduate from high school. He is now a college graduate, a newlywed and an inspirational speaker embarking on an ambitious project.
On Oct. 17, he'll start what he calls the "Relentless Tour," an anti-bullying campaign in which he'll visit 659 middle schools in 180 days.
"It's never been done in the history of the state; it's never been done in the history of the country," Ianni said. "And the thing about bullying is, it involves everybody."
Also of Red Wings-related note: We'll have to take this for what it's worth. Expressen's Gunnar Nordstrom suggests that Henrik Zetterberg is a shoo-in as Team Sweden's captain at the 2014 Olympic games:
"Zata" already certain to be Olympic captain
Los Angeles. Tre Kronor coach Par Marts has 63 players vying for just over 20 Olympic spots for the tournament in Sochi in February.
Who will be their captain is already determined.
It will be Detroit star Henrik Zetterberg.
"Hm. I have no comment on that, but you tend to be right when you speculate," says Zata.
Thanks for that.
And it's not a very educated guess to think that Marts wants Zata as the linchpin on the Olympic team.
I see no problem with the fact that team management has already spoken to Zetterberg, who, for just over a year, has been wearing the C on his jersey for the big club the Detroit Red Wings, where he attended "leadership school" with two legends in Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom.
Zata's been through to and won the Stanley Cup in 2008, an Olympic gold medal in 2006 and the World Championship in 2006.
He was named best player in the playoffs in 2008 and was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy when Detroit became champion.
There's nothing wrong with his merits.
Not his personality, either.
Zata is a natural leader both on and off the ice. Open, social and a good representative.
When Sweden took home the long-awaited Olympic gold in Turn in 2006, it was Mats Sundin who was the team captain. Four years later, Lidstrom took the honor.
Now it's Zetterberg's turn.
Who will be his assistant captains, then?
My guess is Vancouver's long-time captain, Henrik Sedin, and Detroit teammate Niklas Kronwall, who will be the alternates on the Olympic team.
The situation in Detroit is going to be interesting after the New Year as the countdown to the Olympics will be on. Expect wrangling between Zata and radar partner Pavel Datsyuk who will be one of Russia's key players at the home-ice Olympics.
"Absolutely," confirms Henrik, and then he shares an interesting point of view: "Then it'll be interesting to see how much or how little we Swedes on the team get to play in the last 4 games before the Olympic break. Our coach, Mke Babcock, is supposed to coach Team Canada in Sochi."
The Red Wings' prospects feature prominently in Hockey's Future's AHL Western Conference Preview:
Grand Rapids Griffins (Detroit Red Wings)
Last Season: 42-26-4-4 (92 points, 1st place in the Midwest Division)
The defending champs didn't bring in many big names to their roster for 2013-14, but have a solid crop of rookies coming in at the AHL level with the core of the team that won the Calder Cup last season also returning, including goaltender Petr Mrazek and forward Tomas Jurco, both entering their second season of professional hockey.
Up front, the Griffins have a trio of incoming rookie forwards looking to come in and compete in Marek Tvrdon, Teemu Pulkkinen and Martin Frk. Of the three, Pulkkinen appeared in the 2012-13 Calder Cup Playoffs with the Griffins and looks to adjust to the pro game in North America after playing with Jokerit.
On defense Ryan Sproul, the 2012-13 CHL Defenseman of the Year, will make the leap into the AHL full-time this year after putting up numbers in three seasons with the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. The Griffins will also see another high-end prospect turn pro in Xavier Ouellet, a solid two-way defender who played for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL.
I think that it's a little long-winded--and when I think that something is long-winded, it's gotta be blabby--but I'd encourage you to read SI's Michael Farber's story about the reductions in goaltending equipment and the fact that the NHL's general managers are kind of nuts..
At their meetings in Boston during the 2013 Stanley Cup Final, general managers stressed to players' association representatives that the size of goalie pads had to be reduced immediately. "They said we would be ruining the game if we didn't get this done," says Mathieu Schneider, the NHLPA's special assistant to the executive director. Many of Schneider's constituents agreed, although without the pearl-clutching melodrama of the GM's. The NHLPA posted two polls on its internal website in June, one for skaters and another for goalies. The question: Should goalie equipment be shrunk? The skaters were in favor. And to Schneider's surprise, so were a "sizable minority" of goalies. "I thought it would be only two or three guys," Schneider says. "It wasn't that." Voilà! The 45% solution followed soon after, leaving manufacturers scrambling and some goalies grumpy. (Phoenix's Mike Smith on the change: "Horrible.")
There have been other nips and tucks in the league's 2013-14 face-lift to help boost scoring. The NHL has reduced the depth of the goal from 44 to 40 inches, which will give nifty forwards such as Crosby and Chicago's Patrick Kane more room to maneuver when they set up in Wayne Gretzky's old office. The league also trimmed the goal frame, which includes the side skirting, from 96 to 88 inches, which should allow lanky players such as the Kings' Anze Kopitar a better angle for wraparounds and open passing lanes to forwards who have stationed themselves in prime scoring positions. The stretch pass never did touch off a scoring explosion, but maybe hockey will prove to be a game of inches.
"If we can only get another goal and a half..." says one senior league official. Teams produced an average of 5.31 goals per game in 2013, the fewest since '03-04. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of .31 of a goal per game, you were not watching the Panthers last season.
And it turns out that Brendan Shanahan's got the problem down pat:
"During the [2004-05] lockout they brought some of us [players] to a GM's meeting," says Hall of Fame winger Brendan Shanahan, now the NHL's senior VP of player safety. "GM's were talking about creating more two-on-ones, outnumbered rushes, more open spaces. Then [Hall of Fame defenseman] Scott Niedermayer said that with all the video and coaching, you can't teach us a smarter way of playing hockey and not expect us to do it. He said, 'You're not going to make players at this level stupid.' That's always stayed with me."
Finally, I'll leave you with this from the Free Press's Steve Schrader, because we tend to forget that, prior to the free agent "wooing" period, the beat writers told us that the Red Wings' primary target would be the bought-out Vincent Lecavalier:
Steve Schrader: What to watch this week
Wings vs. Flyers
Hey, the Red Wings host an Original 12 matchup against another team they haven't played much recently: the Philadelphia Flyers. Remember them from the '97 finals? Their new faces include center Vincent Lecavalier, signed by the Flyers after Steve Yzerman's Tampa Bay Lightning bought out his contract. 7 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit.
I will do my best to watch and offer a brief recap of Thursday's Wings-Yotes game, but I'll be watching the Wings-Flyers game on Sunday as my friend Mark's wedding is on this upcoming Saturday.
Update: I don't know why the Wings post these in the middle of the night, but they do. Here are Jimmy Howard's post-game comments...
Here's Henrik Zetterberg...
And here's coach Mike Babcock:
The Boston Globe posted a game photo gallery at 5:45, too.
Filed in: | The Malik Report | Permalink
Last night's game was a good reminder to everyone that last year's playoffs was just a thing that happened. ANA never really posed any threat in the first series, and CHI played very dumb hockey for much of their series and DET got some good breaks.
I really don't think DET is good enough overall. The defense is just *so* bad. Until or unless that's addressed, DET is probably just a 4-8 seed team that gets bounced early and nothing more.
I personally am tired of waiting for Quincey, Kindl, and Smith to get it together. That's half your f***ing def. corps.
Posted by Primis on 10/06/13 at 11:38 AM ET
I would be hesitant to judge any team by their third game in four nights.
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie, MI on 10/06/13 at 12:11 PM ET
@Primis - I was frustrated by last night's effort, too. But, let's try and keep some perspective. Smith is essentially a rookie - he hasn't played a full season yet, even including playoff performances last year. Kindl is coming out of his first year as a regular player. Quincey - well, Quincey is slotted too high right now. I said in another thread that we are short one top 4 dman that would help all of the others "slot" better. For instance, if we had landed Edler we could pair him with DDK and let Q and Smith battle for the third pairing slot with Kindl (or swap Kindl and DDK in that formation). I don't think the answer can come within the organization this season, though the d corps will be a strength next year and beyond when Almquist, Sproul, and Ouelette start working their way into the lineup.
Posted by PDXWing on 10/06/13 at 02:37 PM ET
I think we need to stop trying to put parsley on the sh*t sandwich that is our blueline.
Posted by Primis on 10/06/13 at 04:53 PM ET
I felt pretty similarly after the game, Primis. It ain't easy to be patient when we've seen this team play so very well and when we've seen how quickly it can go from, "A game from the Conference Finals!" to, "A game from missing the playoffs!"
I'm sticking with, "It's early, and right now, it looks like we've got more than enough reason to be optimistic…and more than enough reason to still worry that the blueline isn't gonna hold up over the course of an 82-game season."
We'll have to wait and see, which sucks.

PPC Trends for Casino Affiliates
For gaming affiliates, the subject of pay per click (PPC) advertising is a bit touchy. After all, the big players in the search engine world have been anything but friendly to the gambling world since a Department of Justice (DOJ) crackdown back in 2004.
But the winds of change are blowing and cash strapped governments are slowing warming up to the potential revenue windfall offered by legal, regulated gaming. In 2011, we saw Google take a few steps back from their gambling ad moratorium just a few month before the DOJ backed off from their stance on prosecuting poker sites.
That means that in 2012, PPC is likely to take a larger role in affiliate marketing and advertising campaigns than it has it in the past, so affiliates should familiarize themselves with emerging PPC trends in 2012.
Legal Issues
The biggest hurdles facing gaming affiliates planning PPC campaigns are of the regulatory variety. Yes, Google is no longer directly banning gambling ads, but they're not accepting them without reservation either. If you want a crash course in worldwide gaming regulations, spend a few minutes reading over the AdSense gambling regulations.
It's hard to blame Google (or Bing, or Yahoo!) for taking only baby steps towards accepting gambling ads. After all, it wasn't that long ago that the Big three search engine companies were fined by the FCC for promoting illegal activities.
Search engine companies, and their content networks, are in a tricky spot when it comes to accepting casino advertising. While the technical aspect of localizing content isn't difficult, it is a headache.

PPC Options for Affiliates
With Google out of the picture for gambling affiliates, a number of alternate PPC web networks have emerged to fill in the void. One of the best known in this bunch is Roar.com. Roar targets specific domain names within its network and provides highly targeted, gambling friendly PPC campaigns on its network.
No matter what happens with Google and the other big search engines, these alternatives are likely to continue doing well in 2012. After all, these companies have large user bases, established content networks, and plenty of good will amongst their customers.
Gambling sites are also relying in companies like Experiment.ly to help them conduct their PPC campaign research. This product allows web masters to easily experiment with various configurations to their site, without changing the code, to see how visitors react to different designs and campaigns. Applications like this can dramatically increase conversion rates, and help create much more effective PPC campaigns.
Social Media
Social media has been occupying a greater role in our Internet lives and it's only going to get bigger in 2012. Facebook, GooglePlus, and LinkedIn are home base for hundreds of millions of Internet users, and that may be great news for gaming affiliates in 2012.
Late in 2011, news broke that Facebook is seriously considering adding real money, in-site gambling for its users in countries where online gaming is legal. Suffice to say, this could radically change several industries and open real PPC opportunities for affiliates.
Facebook has already softened its attitude towards online gambling ads and is nowhere near as reluctant as Google to get its feet wet in this category. This increased friendliness towards gambling is likely fueled by the company's impending IPO later this year. Once Facebook goes public they'll need new revenue streams to keep investors happy. It's a pretty safe bet that as Facebook warms up to gambling PPC ads, Google will likely follow along.
After all, Google's latest algorithm changes are placing a greater importance on social media. If the biggest name in social media is actively engaged in real money, legal online gambling, the company that promises to not be evil may have to change its view about gaming.
Mobile PPC
One segment of the PPC world that's primed for an explosion. Over the past three years, we've seen smart phones go from luxury items to necessities. Millions of people see their smart phone as an indispensable tool of modern life, as well as a friendly companion. And with cheaper data plans becoming available to the masses, this trend is likely to continue.
More and more online casinos and sport books are developing mobile apps and most industry insiders agree that mobile devices are the future of gaming. That's why affiliates should be developing PPC strategies for mobile devices as soon as possible.
Looking back at the big developments that sprung up in 2011, Black Friday, Facebook Gaming, and the DOJ reversal on online poker, it's tough to predict what's going to happen in 2012. But PPC isn't going anywhere and gaming affiliates who maximize its potential by working with Google alternatives; developing PPC strategies for mobile devices; and keeping an eye on social media, will be well prepared for anything.

Ram Narata Jogi
It would be hard to find more basic music than this. A man with a voice of limited range and no smoothness playing a one-stringed homemade instrument accompanied by a friend or two on hand drums.
Ram Narata is (possibly, was) a jogi. A wandering spiritual seeker, probably mystical in his understanding but Hindu in his vocabulary, he was more than 90 when he made this recording.
The songs he sings cover the bases from tragic love stories (Sassi Pannu and Sohni Mahiwal) to earthy spirit melodies.

New Beginnings
- Artist: Beatrice Muniu
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 2/24/2009
|your cart is empty
Reviewed by George Luke (on Crossrhythms. Co.UK) This album first came to my attention when it was released in 2003 and Beatrice did a gig or two at Greenbelt. It was also my introduction to one of the UK urban gospel scene's best-kept secrets: ace producer Hez Thuo (another Kenyan expert), who produced it and co-wrote all bar one of the tracks with Beatrice. The only cover is the old Integrity worship standard 'Be Glorified' sung in Swahili and English; the rest combine heartfelt praise and worship with a seamless blend of African rhythms and urban beats. When she sings in Swahili, Beatrice's powerful voice is at times reminiscent of Angelique Kidjo or a young Miriam Makeba. She doesn't fare as well on the songs in English ('Tell Me Why', 'The Earth Is The Lord's') - but they're far stronger than certain other Afro-pop efforts I've been subjected to in the past, and they do give Hez the opportunity to mess about with Beatrice's voice on his vocoder, in a Cher-esque 'Do You Believe.?' style. Hez also shines on the jazzy piano playing at the end of 'Kumtegema Mokozi'. As far as Afro-pop gospel records go, this is one of the best I've heard in a long time. Hopefully, a follow-up can't be too far away.

First off before reading this, this is not a rant. Merely just my thoughts and realization after playing GTA IV. If you V fanboy's are going to flame at a personal opinion then please leave.
Have you guys ever heard the saying " Its about the journey and not the Destination" ? I have. And i like that saying when its used in a cinematic video game like Uncharted or The Last Of Us. But in a video game like Grand Theft Auto the saying doesn't go well with it. What i'm saying is that when i finished Grand Theft Auto 5 nothing really changed. I feel like the world is exactly the same as it was when it started. Michael has his One mansion, Trevor has his Trailer, and Franklin... well his character had zero depth at all so i'm just going to ignore him. Of course this is off of option A on the last mission so its more or less biased.
I replayed Grand theft auto IV and I felt like doing the missions actually did something. It did more then just tell a story (and a good one too) It introduced me to friends i can hangout with after the story, Packie, Jacob, Dwayne, Brucie, and of course the Girls. Liberty city changed as the game went on. I feel like GTA IV had sorta chapters... like one chapter of the game is in Broker, then Bohan, then so on and so forth. When i was fresh in Liberty City i had no idea what was going to happen. I had sh*tty clothes, sh*tty cars, sh*tty rat infested apartment and sh*tty weapons. By the end of the game i had a loft overlooking Algonquin a brand new Turismo and Comet parked outside and a nice shiny desert eagle.
Not alot changed in Gta V, but hopefully the story DLC will be like a new "Chapter"
Farewell, Anzand17 and Merry x-mas if i don't post anything by then

Topic: His Glory Alone [Sunday May 22, 2016]
Text: Psalm 4:1-11
Key Verse: "But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still" (Psalm 4:3, 4).
A clergyman once asked some children before him, "What is holiness?" A poor little boy in tattered dress jumped up and said,"Please, your reverence, it is to be clean inside." Could anything be truer? Holiness means "separated" or "set apart for a special use".
In this specific case in our text, God speaks about His glory which the Sons of men had turned in to shame through their love for vanity. He turns our attention to the beautiful life of those set apart for His exclusive use: they do not live willfully in sin any longer as the nature and power of sin has been destroyed through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. The passage concludes with the gladness of heart and the prevailing peace which God's holy people enjoy in spite of the turbulence and evil in the world. The world's system has a way of controlling and corrupting people, be it through the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes or the pride of life. As Christians, we know that some of those things in the world system are wrong. We must therefore avoid them. We must not behave like people who don't want to give up the world entirely; people who try to hold onto the world and at the same time remain in Christ's kingdom. Anyone who clings to the world will surely be entrapped by it.
The way of holiness is not to import worldly principles in to Christianity. The way of holiness is to come out from among them and be separate. That means, we exist for the special purpose of being a pure dwelling for God. When we are set apart, we show forth the praises of God and sinners are drawn to His love through our lives and conduct. Remember, without holiness no man shall see the Lord
Thought for the day: Holiness is "to be clean inside".

AN EPILEPSY suffer is battling to raise more awareness for alternative treatments – including cannabis.
Keiron Reeves of Longford Road in Bognor wants people to start talking about different ways to treat the condition he has had since he was four.
Now 29, Keiron says he is forced to break the law to keep the illness under control, as he claims cannabidiol (CBD) oil, which contains cannabis, is the only treatment that works for him.
He said: "I want to hold a public meeting and get people talking about the issue. I have never been so passionate about anything. I am amazed at how little people know."
Shunning anti-epileptic drugs like Epilim he decided to travel to Amsterdam to buy the oil, which is illegal in the UK. He has been using it for the past six weeks.
He says he has not had a fit in that time.
"I am not doing this to get high, but to live a better quality of life," he said.
Keiron said he struggled to cope for 25 years, before taking action.
He said: "I think I just hit the point where I realised I had to do something.
"When I was younger I was told it would get easier and I would maybe grow out of it, but when I hit my mid-20s that didn't happen. If anything, it started to get worse.
"I was having more fits than ever and I started to forget people's names. I have asked doctors about the CBD oil and other treatments, but I haven't got anywhere."
Keiron, who has suffered broken bones during seizures, decided to research alternative therapies. He found out about the oil produced from a strain of the cannabis plant which is been used to help children with severe epilepsy in Colorado, America – one of the two states which has legalised the drug.
Early work is also being undertaken by the University of Reading, where scientists are optimistic a series of compounds found in the drug could help control seizures.
Vikki Brown, a senior policy and campaigns officer at Epilepsy Action, said: "Epilepsy is a condition that can be very difficult to treat. Many people with epilepsy have their condition controlled by epilepsy medicines. For others – around 30 per cent – epilepsy medicines are not effective in controlling seizures.
"Cannabis is made up of a number of components. It is thought that one of these may have anti-epileptic properties. This component, cannabidiol, is presently going through limited clinical trials.
"This could give more of an insight into the possibility of using a component of cannabis to treat epilepsy."
She added the charity welcomed the research as it could help the understanding of the anti-epileptic components of cannabis and might prove useful in treating those who did not respond to current treatments.
The Epilepsy Society has also welcomed the research, but has stressed the dangers. "Although some people say cannabis has helped their epilepsy in others it has caused seizures," a spokesman said.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: "We know that scientific trials are taking place nationally about the use of medicinal cannabis to help combat the effects of epilepsy. However, these are carried out within a controlled environment under strict guidelines by health professionals.
"Cannabis in any form remains illegal in the UK and any person found in possession of it illegally could end up in court and with a criminal record. But every case is assessed on its individual circumstances."

A Few Random Facts
The development of quantum theory was arguably many centuries in the making. As early as the 5th Century B.C., the Greek philosophers Democritus and Leucippus first put forward the idea that everything around us was made of tiny indivisible pieces called atoms scattered in an infinite void.
However, finding (even indirect) evidence of such atoms had to wait over two millennia until the work on gases and pressure by the 17th Century English scientist Robert Boyle and, later, the 18th Century Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli, which bolstered the case for the existence of tiny grain-like atoms flying around in empty space.
In 1789, the French aristocrat and scientist Antoine Lavoisier identified (albeit slightly incorrectly) 23 elements which he claimed could not be broken down into simpler substances. In the very early 19th Century, the English chemist and physicist John Dalton identified the atomic weights of certain atoms, and first posited the idea that chemical combinations were due to the interaction of atoms of definite and characteristic weight. More direct evidence of atoms came with the erratic jittery motion, known as "Brownian motion", of pollen grains suspended in water noted by the botanist Robert Brown in 1827 (even if Brown himself never quite solved the problem of their mysterious behaviour.
But, in order to identify exactly what makes one atom different from another, it was necessary to look inside an atom. In 1895, the British physicist J. J. Thomson had discovered the first sub-atomic particle, the electron, a tiny particle 2,000 smaller than even a hydrogen atom, although he had actually envisaged an atom as a multitude of these tiny negatively-charged electrons embedded in a diffuse ball of positive charge, like raisins in a pudding.
Experiments in 1907 by the New Zealander Ernest Rutherford, however, showed that the vast majority (more than 99.9%) of the mass of an atom was packed into a tiny central nucleus (about 100,000 times smaller than the overall atom, depending on the particular element, sometimes compared to the head of a pin in a football stadium) orbited by the even tinier electrons, like planets round a sun. Coming across the nucleus inside an atom has been likened to finding a pea suspended in the space of a cathedral. So, for the first time, the familiar solid world around us was revealed to be composed of mainly empty space. Later, in 1913, Rutherford's model of the atom was fleshed out and refined by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr. It was not until as late as 1980, though, with the invention of the Scanning Tunnelling Microscope of Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, that the first atoms were actually "seen", showing materials to be composed of spherical atoms stacked row on row, much as Democritus had envisaged.
As technology improved, the nucleus of an atom was shown to consist of a combination of positively-charged protons and zero-charged neutrons. By the late 1960s, it was known that protons and neutrons themselves have size and extension and so could not be considered fundamental particles, but were made up of yet smaller matter. Each proton and neutron was revealed to be comprised of three quarks, elementary particles which come in six different flavours (up, down, top, bottom, strangeness and charm) and which are several orders of magnitude smaller than the protons and neutrons they make up.
The very names of these properties tell of their arbitrariness, and it is impossible to say what they might look like in the physical world. The name quark was taken from a particularly difficult James Joyce novel by Murray Gell-Man (who was instrumental in their discovery), and was used in preference to Richard Feynman's more light-hearted suggestion of the "parton" (after Dolly Parton). A hypothetical sub-component of quarks and electrons, dubbed the preon, was postulated in the 1970s and 1980s, but it has since been largely abandoned as superfluous and experimentally unproven. Quarks and electrons do in fact appear to be elementary particles.
The current Standard Model of particle physics consists of 16 elementary particles: up, down, top, bottom, charm and stange quarks; electrons; muon and tau leptons; three types of neutrinos; Z and W bosons; photons; and gluons. These particles are acted up on by three fundamental forces: the electromagnetic force, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. In addition to these particles, the Higgs boson (dubbed the "God particle" by the popular media) is an integral part of the model, as it explains why the other elementary particles (with the exception of gluons and photons) have mass, and therefore why matter in general has mass. The Standard Model has proved to be a remarkably robust and successful model, and several particles which were merely theoretical when it was first formulated in the mid-1970s have since been observed experimentally, including most recently (2012) the elusive Higgs boson.
But, to return to Rutherford's findings in the early 20th Century, though, it quickly became abundantly clear that his findings were completely at odds with the known physics of the time. According to the classical theory of electromagnetism developed in the second half of the 19th Century by James Clerk Maxwell (who demonstrated that electricity, magnetism and even light are all manifestations of the same phenomenon, the electromagnetic field), any charged particle which accelerates or changes speed or direction gives out electromagnetic waves. In that case, then, an electron circling a nucleus should in theory be continually sapped of its energy, and should therefore spiral into, and collide with, the nucleus of the atom within micro-seconds.
So, even before 1910, it was becoming apparent that atoms should not even be able to exist according to classical theory! Enter quantum theory (although some further explanation is still needed before that particular question can be directly addressed).

Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Indiana's Senate yesterday passed—and Governor Mitch Daniels (R) signed—the state's long-awaited right-to-work law, making it the 23rd state in the nation and the first state in the union-heavy Rust Belt to give workers the right to choose whether or not to pay union dues. Meanwhile, 1,700 miles away, Arizona is considering a bill that would restore voter control over government by, among other measures, stripping government unions of their collective bargaining power.
Indiana's move is a victory for the state's workers—and the state's economy. Now Hoosiers cannot be forced to pay union dues just to keep their job. This freedom makes union organizers a lot less aggressive, which attracts businesses investment. Heritage's James Sherk explains that in counties in right-to-work states the share of manufacturing jobs is one-third higher than in adjacent counties in non–right-to-work states.
Unions, however, bitterly oppose Right-to-Work: it costs them money. They do not want workers dissatisfied with their union representation to stop paying dues. That means less money in their coffers. Sherk writes that Right-to-Work will allow Indiana's working families to save $18 million a year in previously forced dues.
As Indiana makes its right-to-work move, Arizona—already a right-to-work state—is taking a significant step in restoring voter control over public policy and saving taxpayers money. The Tucson Citizen reports on the measures the state legislature is considering:
Senate Bill 1485, sponsored by Sen. Rick Murphy, R-Phoenix, would ban collective bargaining in government.
Three other bills also tackle the issue. They would: ban withholdings of any portion of workers' wages to pay for labor dues; immediately ban third-party deductions from employee paychecks without annual authorization; and require government employees to do government—not union—business while on taxpayer time.
The AFL-CIO is already shouting down the effort, calling Arizona the "New Wisconsin" and warning that the measures "would wipe out public-sector unions in our state." However, the reality is that Arizona is taking measures that bring some common sense to the state's public policy. Collective bargaining in government means that the voter's elected representatives do not have final say on spending or policy decisions. Instead elected representatives must come to agreement with government unions before deciding public policy — leaving voters in the cold. As recently as 1959 the AFL-CIO agreed that this was undemocratic. Government unions negotiate contracts that benefit them at the public's expense. But government should serve the public, not the other way around.
Wisconsin saw this as a problem, with union contracts swelling to untenable costs, putting the state in dire fiscal straits. Arizonans, too, are rightfully concerned about their future — for them, under-funded government employee pensions are a serious problem, with only 78 percent of the state's liabilities covered for current employees and retirees. And those types of costly benefits are oftentimes won at the behest of the government union special interest groups, regardless of the state's ability to foot the bill.
Despite the recession being over, unemployment still remains high, economic recovery remains slow, and states and local governments are facing busted budgets that are out of control. It's no surprise that states like Indiana are seeking to improve their job-creating climate and that states like Arizona are trying to find ways to prevent more destructive spending in the future. Giving workers freedom in their workplaces — and voters control over their government — is a significant step forward.

As Heat-Waves Strike Many California Regions this Week,
Cal-OSHA Reminds Employers to Provide Heat Illness Prevention Training
Oakland, CA— Cal/OSHA is reminding all employers to educate managers and supervisors on heat illness prevention to protect their workers as temperatures rise in many regions of the state. The national weather forecast predicts that temperatures will exceed 100 degrees in the Redding and Sacramento regions as well as many regions in the Central and Inland Valleys from Tuesday through Friday this week.
"It's important that employers apply precaution and safety measures as required under California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard to all their employees to prevent occupational heat illnesses and fatalities," said Len Welsh, Chief of Cal/OSHA. "It is especially important to track the weather and be ready for heat waves."
Cal/OSHA investigations reveal that the risk of dying from heat illness appears to be highest for employees who are new on the job and not accustomed to working in extreme heat. The body needs to adapt gradually to exertions in the heat and humidity. Most people adjust to the weather or acclimate within four-to-14 days of regular work levels, according to Cal/OSHA heat illness prevention data.
Raising awareness is an important key in preventing heat illness. California Heat Illness Prevention Standards require mandatory training for employees and supervisors. Information on acclimatization, encouraging employees to continuously drink water throughout the day, and taking frequent cool-down breaks or preventative recovery periods in the shade, among other actions are included in the mandatory training.
In addition to the requirements outlined in the heat illness prevention regulations (section 3395 of Title 8), employers may consider starting the work day early and pacing work activities for their workers. Other prevention techniques include increasing the number of water and rest breaks or preventative recovery periods on hot days and encouraging employees to monitor each other for signs and symptoms of heat illness.
Cal/OSHA studies show effective reduction of heat illness depends on written procedures, access to water, access to cooler areas, acclimatization and weather monitoring, emergency response and employee and supervisor training.
Cal/OSHA enforcement increased 154% in 2008 with 2,583 heat-related inspections, compared to 1,018 in 2007. A total of 1,132 heat standard violations were found statewide last year, an 84% increase compared to the 614 violations cited in 2007.
Cal/OSHA inspectors conduct regular planned investigations of outdoor worksites and increase the number of inspections during periods of high heat. Enforcement remains a priority this year – a total of 1556 heat-related inspections have been conducted as of July 2nd, with a total of 427 heat standard violations cited. The heat standards most frequently violated by employers include failure to have a written heat illness prevention plan, and failure to provide employee training.
Under Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, California became the first state in the nation to develop a safety and health regulation addressing heat illness in 2005. Cal/OSHA issued permanent heat illness prevention regulations to protect outdoor workers in 2006.
For more information on heat illness prevention and training materials visit the Cal/OSHA Web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov/heatillness. Employees with work-related questions or complaints may call the California Workers' Information Hotline at 1-866-924-9757.

Kyle Field has long been considered one of Texas' great treasures.
Now, the Aggies' home field is getting some national recognition.
According to Athlon Sports, which polled 15 college football experts from media outlets around the country, Kyle Field is the fourth best place in the nation to catch a game.
LSU's Tiger Stadium tops the list followed by Ohio State's Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe) and Oregon's Autzen Stadium. Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium rounds out the top five.
Kyle Field, which previously had a seating capacity of about 83,000, is undergoing a $450 million renovation project. The stadium is scheduled to hold about 106,000 fans this season, and will be at a final capacity of 102,512 in time for the 2015 season.
The Aggies open their season on Aug. 28 at SEC foe South Carolina.
