text: There are a lot of new faces on NHL rosters to start the NHL season. Scott Cullen has combed the rosters and looked into all the players that werent NHL regulars in 2013, looking at where theyve come from and what their roles might be in this coming season. First, a couple of public service announcements (feel free to skip along to the roster additions).

Here are the relatively new faces on NHL rosters going into the 2013-2014 season: ANAHEIM DUCKSPeter Holland, C - The 15h overall pick in 2009, Holland is a big centre who has six points in 25 career NHL games, and 105 points in 119 AHL games. There is opportunity to move into a scoring centre role with the Ducks, but hes not there yet. Hampus Lindholm, D - Drafted sixth overall in 2012, the lanky blueliner had 11 points and was plus-5 in 44 AHL games last season, which doesnt automatically make him ready, but with injuries to Sheldon Souray and Luca Sbisa, the Ducks have room to give him a look. Patrick Maroon, LW - A 25-year-old winger who has scored (172 points in 196 GP over the last three AHL seasons) while racking up some PIMs (327 over the last three AHL seasons), Maroon is ready for his shot in the NHL, where hes managed three points in 15 games over the past couple seasons. Devante Smith-Pelly, RW - May have been rushed to the NHL in 2011-2012, when he played 49 games for the Ducks (13 points, minus-7) and spent most of last year in the AHL, where he had 32 points and a minus-20 in 65 games. Sturdy winger may be hard-pressed to keep roster spot once injured Ducks get healthy. Sami Vatanen, D - Small 22-year-old defenceman who was productive in Finland for three years before scoring 45 points in 62 AHL games last season. In eight games with the Ducks in 2013, he scored two goals and was plus-3, and should get power play time right out of the gate. BOSTON BRUINSMatt Bartkowski, D - No longer rookie eligible, with 20 games played over the last three seasons, 25-year-old Bartkowski was steady when inserted in the Bruins lineup in last years playoffs and is an economical fit as a seventh defenceman. Jordan Caron, RW - Development stalled last season for the 2009 first-round pick, as he had 18 points and a minus-5 rating in 47 AHL games, though he did add nine points in a dozen playoff games. Doesnt have a regular spot in the lineup, but probably better for him to make the most of his opportunities in Boston. Chad Johnson, G - Though the 27-year-old has a 1.97 goals against average and .929 save percentage in 10 career NHL games, his AHL numbers (.909 SV% in 170 GP) have only been okay. If he could handle a dozen starts, though, hell be an inexpensive backup to Tuukka Rask. If he falters, Niklas Svedberg could be called up from Providence. Kevan Miller, D - Los Angeles-born defenceman who played at the University of Vermont and has been solid in 135 games with Providence over the last two-plus seasons. Hes an extra. Carl Soderberg, LW - (on IR) A big, skilled forward who had 60 points in 54 Swedish Elite League games last season before finally arriving in the NHL. The 27-year-old is expected, when healthy, to play with Chris Kelly and Reilly Smith on the Bruins third line, but hes likely going to miss the opener with an ankle injury. BUFFALO SABRES Brian Flynn, RW - Not rookie-eligible after scoring 11 points in 26 games for the Sabres last season, 25-year-old Flynn is a late bloomer who wasnt drafted and played four years at the University of Maine before impressing Ron Rolston in the AHL (32 points, minus-3 in 45 GP) last season. Zemgus Girgensons, LW - A 19-year-old who made the unusual jump from the USHL to the AHL last season, scoring 17 points in 61 games as a rookie pro, Girgensons is a big winger who may need more seasoning, but the 14th overall pick in 2012 is forcing the Sabres to pay attention. Mikhail Grigorenko, C - Picked two spots ahead of Girgensons, Grigorenko was kept with Buffalo for 25 games last season, putting up five points in spot duty, but he did have 54 points in 33 QMJHL games, indicating he still has the offensive knack. With a rebuilding team, hell get a better opportunity to show his skills this season. Johan Larsson, C - Acquired from Minnesota in the Jason Pominville deal, 21-year-old Larsson had 41 points in 69 AHL games last season and did get into one game with the Wild. Hes on the roster fringe but, if the Sabres are indeed looking to the future, Larsson ought to get a chance to play. Cody McCormick, LW - A 30-year-old tough guy who was eventually buried in the minors with his $1.2-million cap hit last season, McCormick has 54 points, a minus-9 rating and 458 penalty minutes in 329 career games, making him a serviceable fourth-liner. Kevin Porter, C - A big collegiate scorer at Michigan, 27-year-old Porter has been on the fringes of the NHL for most of his career, scoring 54 points in 194 career NHL games and 120 points in 146 AHL games. Mark Pysyk, D - The 23rd pick in 2010, Pysyk is a heady defenceman who made a smooth transition to pro hockey, playing most of the year in the AHL, where he had 18 points and was lus-8 in 57 games, before adding five points and a minus-7 in 19 games with the Sabres. Expect him to log significant minutes on the new-look Buffalo defence. Rasmus Ristolainen, D - The eighth pick in the 2013 draft, Ristolainen is making the jump to the NHL after playing against men in the Finnish league the last two years. Hes even been working on the second power play unit with Pysyk. CALGARY FLAMESSven Baertschi, LW - The 13th pick in 2011 has already been criticized by Brian Burke, but has 13 points in 25 career NHL games. Hes skilled and should play in a scoring role for the Flames, building on what was a strong finish last season, when he scored nine points in the last seven games. Lance Bouma, LW - A third-round pick in 2008, Bouma missed nearly all of last season after ripping up his knee, but the grinding winger has four points and a minus-6 rating in 43 career games. Joe Colborne, C - Picked up in a trade with Toronto, the 6-foot-5 pivot has six points and a plus-2 rating in 16 career NHL games, but is likely to get a longer look in Calgary, where they sorely need a scoring centre. The 16th pick in 2008, Colborne hasnt shown the offensive game that he did at the University of Denver and, with his third NHL organization, he needs to prove he can score at this level. Sean Monahan, C - Taken sixth overall in 2013, Monahan is lauded for being very mature and he already has the frame to handle the physical play. His two-way game may be enough to hold down a roster spot, even if he doesnt score a lot right away. Karri Ramo, G - Under most circumstances, there wouldnt be much appeal to a 27-year-old who has an .895 save percentage in 48 career NHL games, but Ramo has been in the KHL the last four seasons, posting a .926 save percentage in 129 games over the last three. He has a past with Flames GM Jay Feaster and is the Flames starter in net, which can go one of two ways -- either he shows that hes turned the corner in his development and helps the Flames overachieve, or hes better in the KHL than the NHL and the Flames goaltending will help them to earn a higher draft pick. Ben Street, C - A 26-year-old who worked his way up, undrafted, out of the University of Wisconsin, Street had one point in six games with the Flames last season and could hold down a fourth-line or depth role. CAROLINA HURRICANESBrett Bellemore, D - 6-foot-4 blueliner made it to the Hurricanes late last season, contributing two points and a minus-2 in eight games. Hes scored six goals in four full AHL seasons, so hes not doing anything flashy, but the 25-year-old is big, physical and can handle a depth role, if needed. Matthew Corrente, D - A first-round pick of the Devils in 2006, Corrente has moved on to a new franchise, but has already been placed on waivers. He may be holding a roster spot for financial reasons. Elias Lindholm, C - The fifth pick in this summers draft, Lindholm has missed much of camp with injury, but is still slated to open the year as the third-line left wing. He scored 30 points in 48 Swedish Elite League games last season and is praised for his play away from the puck, so he could have an impact immediately as a two-way player. Ryan Murphy, D - Drafted 12th in 2011, Murphy is a smooth-skating puck-handling defenceman who is actually in the minors, officially, but will be recalled for Carolinas first game. Hes a skilled offensive defenceman, and the Hurricanes need that, so they may live with some of his defensive shortcomings. Brett Sutter, C - The 26-year-old from -- where else? -- Viking, Alberta, has five points and a minus-6 rating in 37 career games. He scored 48 points in 70 AHL games last season and can handle grunt work on the fourth line. CHICAGO BLACKHAWKSJimmy Hayes, RW - 6-foot-6 winger, originally drafted by Toronto, has 13 points and a minus-3 rating in 41 career games and 68 points in 107 career AHL games. Hell add some heft to the Blackhawks third line to open the year. Joakim Nordstrom, RW - A third-round pick in 2010, Nordstrom has been in the Swedish Elite League for the last two-plus seasons, yet has scored a meagre 16 points in 101 SEL games. He added three assists in 11 games with AHL Rockford at the end of last season, but he hasnt shown anything to suggest hes ready for more than a depth role. Ben Smith, RW - In 28 career (regular-season plus playoff) games with the Blackhawks, Smith has scored seven goals, with no assists. While hes more of a blue-collar winger than pure scorer, he has scored 42 goals in 92 games over the last couple AHL seasons, so he could contribute some, even in a fourth-line capacity. COLORADO AVALANCHEMarc-Andre Cliche, C - A second-round pick in 2005, the 26-year-old winger has played one NHL game, with Los Angeles in 2009-2010. Hes never been a big scorer, but is a reliable defensive forward, one that can fill in on the fourth line as the situation dictates. Nate Guenin, D - The 30-year-old has moved around the league since getting drafted by the Rangers in 2002. From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to Columbus to Anaheim and, now, Colorado, hes put up four points and a plus-3 rating in 32 career NHL games, logging 441 games in the AHL. He fits as a seventh or eighth guy on the blueline. Nick Holden, D - An undrafted 26-year-old who put in 295 AHL games in the Columbus organization, Holden has no points in seven career NHL games, but the 6-foot-4 rearguard tallied a career-high 39 points in 73 AHL games last season. Hes an extra for the Avalanche now, just looking for a chance to play. Nathan MacKinnon, C - The first overall pick is going to start the year on the Avalanches third line, easing him into the NHL because he can play behind Matt Duchene and Paul Stastny. After 153 points in 102 QMJHL games, hes ready to play in the NHL, but may not have the role to put up huge offensive numbers right away. COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETSBoone Jenner, LW - A second-round pick in 2011, Jenner is a power forward who had a strong season in the OHL last year, scoring 45 goals and 82 points in 58 games, adding nine points in 13 AHL (regular season plus playoff) games. As the season starts, hes on the wing with Brandon Dubinsky and Marian Gaborik on the Blue Jackets top line. Ryan Murray, D - The second overall pick in 2012, Murray missed a big chunk of last season following shoulder surgery, scoring 17 points in 23 WHL games. Hes set to embark on his NHL career now and, while his offensive upside isnt high-end, he can be a very good defenceman for a long time. Curtis McElhinney, G - 30-year-old vet has an .899 save percentage in 69 career NHL games, though he had a strong year (.923 SV% in 49 GP) in the AHL last year. Hes not going to play a lot as the backup to Sergei Bobrovsky, but the Blue Jackets can hardly afford to lose a handful of points over the year due to subpar backup goaltending. David Savard, D - A puck-moving defenceman with good size, the 22-year-old has 10 points and a minus-3 rating in 35 games, with 96 points in 176 career AHL games. If he cant crack the Columbus lineup, there may be another team willing to give him an opportunity. DALLAS STARSAlex Chiasson, RW - Big winger burst onto the NHL scene with six goals in seven games late last season, and after five points in five preseason games, hes getting touted as a possible fantasy sleeper. The Stars have Erik Cole and rookie Valeri Nichushkin on the right side too, but it looks like Chiasson will begin the year in a scoring role. Kevin Connauton, D - Picked up from Vancouver in the Derek Roy deal last season, Connauton is a puck-moving defenceman who is ready for a look in the NHL after 215 AHL games over the last three seasons and should get a chance to play right away. Lane MacDermid, LW - Picked up from Boston in last seasons Jaromir Jagr deal, MacDermid is a physical winger who has two points and 24 penalty minutes in 14 career NHL games. He has limited upside, but can crash and bang on the fourth line. Chris Mueller, C - A 27-year-old who wasnt drafted and has patiently worked his way up after finishing his four-year career at Michigan State, Mueller had eight points and was minus-5 in 37 career games with Nashville, but could get a decent look with the Stars this season. Valeri Nichushkin, RW - Drafted 10th overall, Nichushkin has the size to be an NHL power forward, but it could take some time for it all to come together. Hes good enough to play and contribute now but, remember, hes 18 and had 15 points in 43 (regular season plus playoff) KHL games last year. DETROIT RED WINGSJared Coreau, G - While the 21-year-old has played well at Northern Michigan the last couple seasons, hes merely a placeholder. Should anything happen to Jimmy Howard, Petr Mrazek would be recalled if Jonas Gustavsson (currently on IR) cant fill in. Danny DeKeyser, D - A highly-touted free agent signing out of Western Michigan last season, DeKeyser hasnt been a big scorer, but didnt look a step out of place when he played 13 (regular season plus playoff) games with the Red Wings. Its easy to see him in a top four role on the Detroit blueline. Xavier Ouellet, D - Picked in the second round in 2011, Ouellet is a more offensively-inclined blueliner who has 101 points in 113 QMJHL games over the last two years. Hes not likely to play for the Red Wings right away, but the 20-year-old is ready to begin his pro apprenticeship. Tomas Tatar, LW - 22-year-old Tatar has already played 265 AHL games over the last four seasons, scoring 87 goals and 196 points, before adding 16 goals in 24 playoff games last year on the way to the Calder Cup. He requires waivers to be sent down to the minors, so thats not going to happen, but now its up to Tatar (who has eight points in 27 NHL games) to take his game to the next level. Gustav Nyquist, RW - Another Red Wings prospect that has been brought along patiently, Nyquist has 13 points and is plus-2 in 40 career NHL games with limited ice time, but has shown enough flashes, combined with a point-per-game in 122 AHL games, that hes ready for a regular role in Detroit. Hes not on the roster, for paperwork reasons, but Nyquists time is now. EDMONTON OILERSWill Acton, C - A 26-year-old forward with good size and minimal scoring ability (35 points in 141 AHL games), Acton appears to have won a fourth-line centre job in Edmonton to start the year. That may be temporary, given that the Oilers are missing their top two pivots, but its a significant jump. Mark Arcobello, C - The 25-year-old centre is on the small side but, after 68 points in 74 AHL games last year, he was due for a trial in Edmonton. With Sam Gagner and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins out, hes getting more than just a taste -- hell centre Edmontons second line to start the year. Anton Belov, D - Skilled 27-year-old had a breakout season in the KHL last year, scoring 26 points in 46 games, and will get a chance to upgrade an Oilers blueline that needs more skill. If he can handle top-four minutes, hell be a massive bargain on his one-year deal that costs $1.525-million against the cap. Ben Eager, LW - Only played 14 games with the Oilers last season before he was buried in the AHL. With the Oilers still looking for fighters, Eager has a chance to reclaim a role that hes played for 400 NHL games, racking up 873 penalty minutes (and 84 points). Luke Gazdic, LW - A 6-foot-4, 240-pound winger grabbed off waivers from Dallas, Gazdic is a new Oilers heavyweight alternative following an injury to Steve MacInytre. Denis Grebeshkov, D - Was excellent for the Oilers in 2008-2009, scoring 39 points with a plus-12 rating in 72 games, but its generally been downhill since and hes coming off a poor year in the KHL. Nevertheless, Grebeshkov can hold down an extra spot on the blueline for the time being. Jesse Joensuu, LW - The 6-foot-4 winger didnt really pan out with the Islanders, scoring 15 points in 67 career games, but he had 25 points in 24 Finnish League games last season and will open the year on the Oilers third line. Steve MacIntyre, LW - One of the leagues most feared fighters, MacIntyre suffered a knee injury that may prevent him from fulfilling his pugilistic responsibilities. FLORIDA PANTHERSAleksander Barkov, C - The second overall pick in the draft, Barkov had 48 points in 53 Finnish League games last season, and is going to get significant ice time right away, slated to start with Jonathan Huberdeau and Brad Boyes on his wings. Matt Gilroy, D - The 2009 Hobey Baker winner hasnt had much impact in the NHL, playing 209 games with the Rangers, Lightning and Senators, so theres little reason to expect dramatic change now, but he can hold down a depth spot. Tim Thomas, G - 39-year-old is back after a year off and while its not easy to like the comeback chances of a 39-year-old, playing behind a decidedly inferior defence to the one he was used to in Boston, it also cant be ignored that from 2007-2008 through 2011-2012, Thomas had the best save percentage (.926) in the league. Jesse Winchester, C - Low-scoring forward had 11 goals in 233 career games with the Ottawa Senators before spending a little time in Finland last year. Hes a reliable checker and penalty-killer, though, so he can fill a role for the Panthers, even with his low shooting percentage. Nick Bjugstad, C - (on IR) Towering forward was the 19th pick in 2010 and played three years at the University of Minnesota before joining the Panthers last year, scoring one goal with a minus-8 rating in 11 games. The 21-year-old has lots of long-term potential, but may need some AHL time once hes healthy. Steven Pinizzotto, RW - (on IR) 29-year-old journeyman worked his way into the Canucks lineup for a dozen games last year (no points, minus-6, 29 PIM) and, based on his track record, is ticketed for the minors. LOS ANGELES KINGSMatt Frattin, LW - While Tyler Toffoli might eventually be skating on the Kings second line, Toffoli is back in the AHL, so Frattin gets first crack alongside Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. Frattin scored 15 goals and 28 points in 82 games with the Maple Leafs and his 33 goals in 57 AHL (regular season plus playoff) games suggests that he has some offensive skill to be exploited. MINNESOTA WILDMathew Dumba, D - The seventh pick in 2012, Dumba is a dynamic young player who can jump into the rush and throw a big hit, playing bigger than his size. Hes on the Wild roster right now, but probably has to prove that he deserves to stay if hes going to last beyond a nine-game trial before hes returned to the WHL. Justin Fontaine, RW - A 25-year-old undrafted winger who played at Minnesota-Duluth and has 111 points in 137 AHL games in two pro seasons, Fontaine is getting a good look with the Wild, possibly starting the year on the second line with Dany Heatley and Charlie Coyle. Nino Niederreiter, LW - The fifth pick in 2010, Niederreiter wasnt happy with the Islanders after spending the entire season in the AHL, where he scored 28 goals and 50 points in 74 games, so hes getting a fresh start and will be among the young Wild wingers competing for a spot higher up the depth chart. MONTREAL CANADIENSMichael Bournival, LW - Acquired from Colorado in the Ryan OByrne trade, the 21-year-old forward had 30 points in 69 AHL games as a rookie pro last season and, while hes made the opening roster, he doesnt yet have a spot in the top four lines locked up. Jarred Tinordi, D - An injury to veteran Douglas Murray might have made it easier for Tinordi to start the year with Montreal but, based on how he finished last year, the 2010 first-round pick is ready for regular NHL duty. Hes huge, plays a steady defensive game and could develop in a shutdown role. Christian Thomas, RW - (on IR) Acquired in a swap with the Rangers for prospect Danny Kristo, Thomas scored 19 goals and 35 points in 73 AHL games as a first-year pro last season. If hes going to be a scorer in the NHL, he could probably use more time on the farm, developing that aspect further before getting lost amid the Habs forward lines. NASHVILLE PREDATORSMattias Ekholm, D - The 6-foot-4, 23-year-old defenceman has done his year in the AHL after a couple of strong seasons in the Swedish Elite League (and two years in the Allsvenskan before that), so hes ready for his turn in Nashville. Hes minus-2 in three career NHL games, but is due for an extended opportunity. Filip Forsberg, LW - Picked up from Washington in the Martin Erat deal, Forsberg was the 11th pick in 2012 and projects to be a skilled, scoring winger, but it could be asking a lot for him to take that role as a 19-year-old. After scoring 33 points, with a plus-11 rating, in 38 Allsvenskan (below the Elite League in Sweden) games last season, Forsberg had one point and was minus-5 in five games with the Predators. Carter Hutton, G - A 27-year-old who played his first NHL game at the end of last season for Chicago, Hutton has played 120 AHL games since wrapping up his career at UMass-Lowell. He doesnt have standout numbers (.911 career SV%) in the AHL, but is likely looking at maybe 10 starts if he lasts the full season with the Predators. If something serious happens to Pekka Rinne, Magnus Hellberg might be poised for the starters job. Seth Jones, D - Fell into Nashvilles lap with the fourth pick in the draft. The 6-foot-4 blueliner was considered a candidate for the top pick overall and is going to play right away, likely a lot, for the Predators. NEW JERSEY DEVILSRostislav Olesz, LW - Injuries and a hefty contract derailed Oleszs generally disappointing career, but hes getting another chance. He scored 19 points and was plus-5 in 14 AHL games last season, so the soon-to-be 28-year-old gets another look from head coach Peter DeBoer, who had Olesz in Florida in 2009-2010, when he scored a career-best 29 points in 78 games. Alexander Urbom, D - A 6-foot-5 defenceman who has spent three years in the AHL, Urbom doesnt offer much offensively, but hes easy to slide in on the third pair or in a depth role as needed. NEW YORK ISLANDERSMatt Donovan, D - A fourth-round pick in 2008, Donovan has 98 points in 153 AHL games in two-plus pro seasons, so hes ready for his opportunity on an Islanders blueline that lost Mark Streit in the offseason. Brock Nelson, C - Drafted 30th overall as a lanky kid in 2010, Nelson has filled out and, after 52 points in 66 AHL games as a rookie pro, hes slated to start the year on the Islanders third line. Kevin Poulin, G - The 23-year-old has a .912 save percentage in 23 career NHL games, though his AHL numbers have been getting worse. With Evgeni Nabokov handling the bulk of the starts, Poulin may be just fine in a reserve role. The question is: if Nabokov gets hurt, could Poulin step into the spotlight? Griffin Reinhart, D - The fourth overall pick in 2012, Reinhart has impressed in camp, but may need to impress further if hes going to avoid a return to the Western Hockey League. Brian Strait, D - A waiver pick-up last season, 25-year-old Strait turned into a reliable defenceman. He has five points and a plus-1 rating in 31 career NHL games, contributing 40 points in 220 career AHL contests. NEW YORK RANGERSJesper Fast, RW - A sixth-round pick in 2010, Fast had 35 points in 47 Swedish Elite League games last season and offers some offensive upside, enough that he earned a forward spot ahead of Chris Kreider, who is back in the AHL. J.T. Miller, LW - The 15th pick in 2011, Miller had four points, and a minus-7 rating, in 26 games for the Rangers last season, so hes not a rookie, but with 23 points in 42 AHL games, hes hardly a proven NHLer at this point. OTTAWA SENATORSStephane Da Costa, C - Curiously, the smallish Da Costa landed a roster spot ahead of Mika Zibanejad, who had enjoyed more success at the NHL level as a 19-year-old than 24-year-old Da Costa, who has seven points and is minus-13 in 35 career games. He has 74 points in 103 AHL games, so he can produce offence at that level, but he hasnt been able to do it in the NHL yet. Eric Gryba, D - The 25-year-old bruiser earned a spot with Ottawa last season, scoring six points with a minus-3 rating in 33 games, and while hes on the opening roster, he could be behind Joe Corvo for a spot in the top six. Jean-Gabriel Pageau, C - Sparkplug centre had 10 points in 19 (regular season plus playoff) games with the Senators last season, including a playoff hat trick against Montreal. Hes not necessarily a big scorer, but can create chances and play effective defensively because of his speed. PHILADELPHIA FLYERSErik Gustafsson, D - An undersized puck-moving defenceman, Gustafsson has 13 points and is plus-10 in 60 career NHL games. The Flyers blueline is crowded with veterans, but Gustafsson adds skill to the group when hes in the lineup. Scott Laughton, C - The 20th pick in 2012, Laughton made the Flyers for a five-game trial last season, then went back to Oshawa, where he finished with 56 points and a plus-22 rating in 49 games. Hes a gritty checking forward who could play on the fourth line now, though he could be sent back to the OHL if hes not getting regular ice time with the Flyers. Jay Rosehill, LW - 28-year-old face-puncher has six points and 282 penalty minutes (with 22 fights) in 83 career games. He wont play every day, or better not, for the Flyers sake. PHOENIX COYOTES Chris Brown, RW - A second-round pick in 2009, Brown played at Michigan before turning pro last season and showing a surprising offensive touch, with 29 goals and 47 points in 68 AHL games. Rob Klinkhammer, LW - 27-year-old journeyman earned a contract extension with his hard-hitting style of play, scoring 11 points and a plus-7 rating in 22 games with the Coyotes last season. Lucas Lessio, LW - Taken in the second round in 2011, Lessio scored 110 goals in 208 OHL games over four seasons before moving up to the AHL at the end of last season. Hes a winger with good size and speed and, like Brown, can push more proven forwards for playing time. David Rundblad, D - Picked up in the Kyle Turris trade, Rundblad is a terrific offensive defenceman, who has 55 points in 80 AHL games, to go with eight points in 38 NHL games, since coming over from the Swedish Elite League, where he scored 50 points in 55 games in his final season. The pedigree suggests he should be able to help on the power play, but first its time to prove that he can handle a regular turn in the NHL. Chris Summers, D - A 2006 first-round pick who has played 29 NHL games, Summers hangs around as the eighth defenceman while Rostislav Klesla is hurt, but maybe not beyond that. PITTSBURGH PENGUINSRobert Bortuzzo, D - The 24-year-old is starting to make his mark, with four points and 29 penalty minutes in 21 games with the Penguins over the last couple seasons. Hes still battling for a regular spot in the lineup, but is safe on the roster. Chris Conner, RW - Small veteran winger cleared waivers just prior to the roster deadline, but has 45 points in 159 career games and can fill in when injuries dictate hes needed. Olli Maatta, D - The 22nd pick in 2012, Maatta probably needs to be in the top six if hes going to stay with the Penguins. Otherwise, the 19-year-old could still be returned to the Ontario Hockey League, where he would play a dominant role. Harrison Ruopp, D - Part of the return when the Penguins dealt Zbynek Michalek to Phoenix, Ruopp is really just holding a spot on the roster as the Penguins moved Beau Bennett and Simon Despres to the minors for salary cap reasons. Jeff Zatkoff, G - With Tomas Vokoun recovering from blood clots, Zatkoff moves into the backup role behind Marc-Andre Fleury. 26-year-old Zatkoff has a .920 save percentage in 93 AHL games over the last two seasons, so hes worth a look as an NHL backup and probably wont be asked to play a lot so long as Fleury continues his solid-enough regular season play. SAN JOSE SHARKSFreddie Hamilton, LW - A fifth-round pick in 2010, the 21-year-old winger had 26 points in 76 AHL games as a first-year pro last season, and may still need more time in the AHL, but he could also add energy in a checking role with the Sharks. Tomas Hertl, LW - The 17th pick in 2012, Hertl scored 18 goals and 30 points in 43 Czech League games last season and is set to start his career on the wing with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns, a fine opportunity to put up points as a rookie. Matthew Nieto, LW - A second-round pick in 2011, Nieto scored 79 points in 76 games over his last two seasons at Boston University, adding six points in 11 AHL games late last season. The 20-year-old is expected to add speed in a third-line role for the Sharks. Alex Stalock, G - 26-year-old has played a total of 72 minutes in the NHL, stopping 20 of 22 shots, and has a .909 save percentage in 145 career AHL games. Antti Niemi will handle most of the starts for the Sharks, obviously. Will Stalock be able to do the job when its required? ST. LOUIS BLUESAdam Cracknell, RW - Grinding winger has 14 points in 46 career games, but could find it tough to crack a deep Blues forward group for a regular job. TAMPA BAY LIGHTNINGMark Barberio, D - Hes only played two NHL games, but the 23-year-old puck-moving defenceman has 103 points in 147 AHL games over the last two seasons. He would have to clear waivers to be sent down so, even if hes stuck as an extra on the blueline, thats preferable to the Lightning. Brett Connolly, RW - The sixth overall pick in 2010 did officially open on the Lightning roster, but hes on his way to the AHL to make room for Ondrej Palat. Connolly scored 63 points in 71 AHL games last season, so hes likely ready whenever the Lightning decide to give him another opportunity. Radko Gudas, D - Rookie eligible after putting up five points and 38 penalty minutes in 22 games for the Lightning last season, Gudas is a hard-hitting, physical presence, exactly what the Lightning could use on their back end. Tyler Johnson, C - He may be small, but after 168 points in 170 AHL (regular season plus playoff ) games over the last two seasons, and six points in 14 games with Tampa Bay last season, Johnson is ready for regular NHL playing time. Ondrej Palat, LW - An industrious Czech winger, Palat scored 78 points in 74 (regular season plus playoff games) for Syracuse in the AHL last season, adding four points and a plus-5 rating in 14 games for the Lightning. Hell skate alongside Johnson. Richard Panik, RW - As will Panik, the 22-year-old Slovakian winger who has 83 points in 120 AHL games over the last two-plus seasons and contributed nine points in 25 games for Tampa Bay last season. Andrej Sustr, D - The 6-foot-8 blueliner was highly sought-after as a free agent out of the University of Nebraska-Omaha last season and with a fraction of pro season experience, hes slated to start the year in Tampa Bay, potentially in the opening night lineup. Its tough to teach 6-foot-8. TORONTO MAPLE LEAFSCarter Ashton, RW - A first-round pick of Tampa Bay in 2009, Ashton was acquired for Keith Aulie and hasnt done a lot to distinguish himself since, going scoreless, with a minus-10 rating in 15 NHL games and scoring 22 points in 60 games with the AHL Marlies. However, hes a big bodied forward who has worked hard to improve his skating and has a chance to play while David Clarkson sits out a 10-game suspension to start the year. Jake Gardiner, D - Inexplicably left in the AHL for too long last season, only to end up sitting in the press box after he was recalled, Gardiner showed in the playoffs that hes capable of handling major responsibility. Elite skating ability separates him from the pack. Troy Bodie, RW - The son-in-law of MLSE CEO Tim Leiweke, Bodie already had a favourable history with head coach Randy Carlyle before he signed in Toronto. The 6-foot-4 winger has 11 points and 141 penalty minutes in 107 career NHL games, which makes him capable of fulfilling a pugnacious role. Paul Ranger, D - A potential gift for the Maple Leafs, Ranger hasnt played in the NHL since October, 2009, but returned to hockey last year, after three years off, putting up 25 points and a plus-16 rating in 51 AHL games. At his peak, Ranger was playing 25 minutes per game for Tampa Bay. He doesnt have to reach that level, but if he could, the Leafs wouldnt mind it either. Morgan Rielly, D - The fifth pick in 2012 is a brilliant skater and has loads of offensive potential, but the concern for the Leafs is whether hell be able to get enough playing time in the NHL or if hell have to spend another year in junior. Decisions, decisions. VANCOUVER CANUCKS Zac Dalpe, C - Added from Carolina, where he had 10 points and a minus-10 rating in 41 career NHL games, Dalpe should have an opportunity to play more for Vancouver, where they lack established pros on the lower half of the forward depth chart. Hes also shown some scoring ability so, if the fit is right, a third-line spot would be a nice jumpstart to the 23-year-olds career. Eddie Lack, G - The 25-year-old has been biding his time in the AHL for the last three years, though he missed much of last season with a hip injury, and had a .926 save percentage in his first two seasons, so he should be able to handle caddying for Roberto Luongo. Ryan Stanton, D - Scooped off waivers from the Blackhawks, Stanton is a physical defensive defenceman with three years in the AHL. With the Canucks sending Frank Corrado down, Stanton gives them better depth at the NHL level. Nicklas Jensen, RW - (on IR) The 29th pick in 2011, Jensen has an upper body injury, but is due for more AHL seasoning before he gets a chance to stick with the Canucks. Jordan Schroeder, C - (on IR) Didnt look out of place in a depth role with the Canucks last season, putting up nine points in 31 games. Given uneven progress to that point in his career, it was a welcome step forward, but hes out with a foot injury to start the year. WASHINGTON CAPITALSConnor Carrick, D - A fifth-round pick in 2012, Carrick surprised by making the Capitals. It doesnt guarantee that hell stay all year, since he could be returned to junior, but hell get his shot to prove he belongs. Michael Latta, C - Picked up in the Martin Erat trade last season, Latta is a gritty fourth-line centre who has 66 points and 300 penalty minutes in 131 AHL games over the last two-plus seasons. Hell add some enthusiasm, at the very least. Tom Wilson, RW - The 16th pick in 2012, Wilson is emerging as a power forward, as opposed to just a tough guy, after scoring 58 points in 48 OHL games last season. Washington trading Mathieu Perreault to Anaheim freed up room to keep Wilson, at least for the start of the season. WINNIPEG JETSAdam Pardy, D - Journeyman 29-year-old defenceman has played 200 NHL games with Calgary, Dallas and Buffalo. Anthony Peluso, RW - A brute of a winger who has 29 points and 376 penalty minutes in 181 AHL games, Peluso will be the on-call muscle. Mark Scheifele, C - The seventh overall pick in 2011, Scheifele has had a taste of the NHL, scoring one goal in 11 games over the last two years, but after scoring 120 points in 66 OHL (regular season plus playoff) games last season, the hope is that hes able to move into a scoring role for the Jets this year. Jacob Trouba, D - Taken with the ninth pick in 2012, Trouba is a tough and skilled defenceman, ready for the pro game after one year at the University of Michigan, where he scored 29 points in 37 games. Also, Im in four fantasy hockey leagues, all with different rules, formats etc., but these are all the players on my teams after drafts and auctions, which should provide at least some idea who I like for value/production going into this season.

Goal Line Technology? Youre having a laugh. As for them penalty cheating bandits, footballs lawmakers upend them by awarding the penalty to the opponent each time a player attempts to con the referee into awarding ghost penalties. Charles Woodson Womens Jersey . Levante, which had lost five straight including a Copa del Rey game last weekend, fell behind at its Ciutat de Valencia stadium when Ionut Sapanura opened the scoring for Elche in the 26th minute. http://www.shoptheraidersonline.com/Elite-Tim-Brown-Raiders-Jersey/ . The 33-year-old defender has spent his entire career at Chelsea, scoring 57 goals in 621 appearances. He regained his regular starting place under Jose Mourinho in the season that ended at the weekend without Chelsea winning a trophy. Foster Moreau Youth Jersey . The defeat leaves the 41-year-old Nestor to concentrate on the mixed-doubles event after winning 12 straight matches and winning Australian titles in Brisbane and Sydney with two different partners. "This was a little bit of a let down, but all credit to them," said Nestor. Jerry Rice Jersey . George Hill had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers, who stayed atop the overall NBA standings despite losing twice on their West Coast trip. Los Angeles kept it close into the second half before the Pacers finished an easy win over the injury-riddled Lakers, who have lost five straight.TORONTO -- Mike Napoli hit a mammoth three-run homer into the upper deck and Allen Craig added a two-run shot as the Boston Red Sox scored seven in the 11th inning to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-7 on Tuesday night. It was the fourth straight extra-innings game for the Jays -- and sixth in their last seven home contests (3-3). Their season record in extra innings dropped to 4-6. But this one turned into a rout rather than a slim win although the Jays answered with three runs in their half of the 11th. Mookie Betts opened the Boston half of the 11th with a single off Casey Janssen (3-2). Betts was called out at second when Christian Vasquez bunted the ball to Janssen but the call was overturned after a 76-second review. Janssen then mishandled Brock Holts sacrifice bunt to load the bases, setting the stage for Dustin Pedroias two-run single. Sergio Santos, the Jays seventh pitcher on the night, took over for Janssen and, one out later, gave up the 17th fifth-deck homer in the history of the Rogers Centre. Napolis blast to left field was his 16th homer of the season. After Daniel Nava doubled, Craig hit his eighth homer of the season to right field. Toronto threw in the towel, sending in infielder Steve Tolleson to pitch. Throwing in the low 70s m.p.h., Tolleson somehow managed to staunch the wound by striking out Will Middlebrooks and inducing Betts to fly out at the warning track. Pedroia, with his second two-run home run in as many nights after an 18-game drought, also homered for Boston in the first inning. Showing his full arsenal, Tolleson singled in the bottom half of the 11th. Dioner Navarros double and Danny Valencias single with two out cut the lead to 11-7. The Jays outhit Boston 15-14 in a game that took four hours 33 minutes. Junichi Tazawa (3-3), the seventh pitcher for the Red Sox, got the win. Torontos record in August dropped to 6-16 while Boston notched its second straight win after snapping an eight-game slide Monday night to open the series. The Jays came into the game having lost nine of their last 12 and 11 of their last 16. Toronto (66-66) has now lost six of eight series (1-6-1) dating back to July 31. The Jays were last at .500 on May 15 when they were 21-21. Toronto had a chance to end it in the bottom of the ninth. Adam Lind doubled off the centre field fence with two out, giving way to pinch runner Tolleson. Boston intentionally walked Edwin Encarnacion. But pinch hitter Navarro struck out against Edward Mujica. Reliever Aaron Sanchez, the loser in a 4-3 extra-innings Red Sox win Monday night, kept the Jays alive by striking out Napoli in the top of the ninth to strand Boston runners on first and second after a single, forceout and infield single. The Jays rallied from 3-0 and 4-3 deficits before a crowd of 27,321 at Rogers Centre. Janssen, who has had his problems of late, pitched a 1-2-3 10th inning with two strikeouts. The Jays had a man on second with two outs in their half of the 10th but couldnt cash in newly recalled Kevin Pillar. Jose Bautista ended his 0-for-17 slump with a solo home run -- his 25th homer of the season -- to left centre off reliever Alex Wilson to open the Toronto half of the seventh and tie the score at 4-4. The homer was just the Jays 11th of tthe month.dddddddddddd Encarnacion, whose ninth-inning double just missed flying over the fence on Monday night, flied out to the left-field warning track later in the seventh inning after Bautistas long ball. For the second night in a row, Toronto fought back from a 3-0 deficit although this time they didnt wait until the ninth inning. And for the second night in a row, Bostons Yoenis Cespedes singled in a run to make it 4-3 although he did it in the seventh inning instead of the 10th. The Cuban outfielder, with his 87th RBI, chased Toronto reliever Dustin McGowan after just one out. Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who had won all three previous starts against Boston this season, went up against Bostons Rubby (pronounced Ruby) De La Rosa, who lost his two previous starts against the Jays this season. The two starters were operating in vastly different neighbourhoods with De La Rosas fastball reaching 97 m.p.h. while Dickey throwing mostly in the 70s. That was good news for Red Sox DH Napoli, who was hit on the head with a 77 m.p.h. knuckleball that sent his helmet flying. It was a rocky start for Dickey who saw Pedroia deposit his eighth delivery of the night into the second deck in left field for a two-run homer. Dickey struck out leadoff hitter Holt but catcher Josh Thole could not handle the ball and Holt made it to first base on the passed ball. Pedroias seventh homer of the season marked the seventh straight game the opposition has scored first against the Jays. There was more to come in the first. Middlebrooks two-out RBI double made it 3-0 and it could have been worse had Craig not been thrown out at home trying to score from first. Dickey threw 28 pitches in the first. Toronto left men on first and third in the first inning after opening with back-to-back Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera singles. With men on second and third and no outs, Cabreras groundout put Toronto on the board in the third inning while earning the left-fielder his 70th RBI of the season. But two fly balls ended the threat. Munenori Kawasaki narrowed the deficit to 3-2 with a two-out RBI single in the fourth inning as De La Rosa struggled with his control, issuing back-to-back walks with one out. ronto tied it in the fifth with Cabrera scoring on Encarnacions fielders choice with two out, signalling the end of De La Rosa. The inning was kept alive by a fielding miscue but Toronto managed to once again leave runners on the corners. De La Rosa went 4 2/3 innings, living dangerously most of the way. He gave up three runs on seven hits with a pair of walks, throwing 99 pitches including 61 strikes. Dickey went six innings, settling down after a bumpy beginning. He conceded three runs on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts. He threw 107 pitches, 67 for strikes The Jays started Pillar in centre field in place of Colby Rasmus, said to be under the weather. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, hit by pitches on the elbow and foot on the weekend, was given the night off for the second day in a row. Despite daytime temperatures hovering near 30 degrees Celsius (with Humidex values near 40) and a severe thunderstorm watch, the Rogers Centre roof was open -- with the south panel closed to start the game.

Mike Vrabel has been a retired football player for a little more than a year now. After 14 NFL seasons, he couldn't really stay away, transitioning immediately into a role as the linebackers coach at Ohio State, his alma mater, before staying on with Urban Meyer to work as the Buckeyes' defensive line coach. Anything to keep his head in the game.
But, shit, Vrabel needs to chill. During a banquet speech yesterday, Vrabel said he had been so excited before the Michigan game on Nov. 24 that he split his head open by head-butting some of the Buckeyes' players. That prompted his wife, Jen, to tweet a photo of Vrabel's mangled dome. The Buckeyes' blog Eleven Warriors indicated that Vrabel had to get as many as 10 stitches, but Vrabel's wife could not confirm. "He never told me how many stitches," Jen Vrabel would say in a subsequent tweet, "I just know it was to the bone." Um, ouch? "Best not to head-butt a guy with a helmet on when you aren't wearning one!! #einstein," Jen also tweeted. We'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Philadelphia Police released new pictures of a man wanted in connection to a fight between Flyers and Rangers fans Monday night after the Winter Classic.
A graphic video posted to YouTube late Monday night -- and later removed -- showed the brawl, which left a man in the hospital.
The video shows three men in Flyers Jerseys assaulting two men in Rangers jerseys outside famous South Philly cheesesteak shop Geno's Steaks. It was posted on the same day the two storied franchises faced off in the Winter Classic.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
WARNING: The removed video titled "Winter Classic 2012, Rangers fan knocked out" contains graphic violence and language as does another angle of the same fight that was posted to YouTube Tuesday by Barstool Sports: Boston.
Philadelphia Police say one of the victims alerted them about the fight but cops were unaware video of the incident was posted online until NBC Philadelphia gave them the heads up.
On Wednesday night NBC New York confirmed that one of the victim's was an off-duty Woodbridge, N.J. (Middlesex County) police officer and Iraq War veteran. The officer was later identified as Neal Auricchio.
Auricchio was in Philly Thursday to talk to police about the incident.
The video was shot around 7:15 p.m. Monday -- just after the Winter Classic ended, police said.
The argument between the hockey fans reportedly began after one of the Flyers fans allegedly paid a man washing windows to spray a Rangers fan.
"The Ranger fan jumped up and grabbed the male upon which the Flyers fans grabbed the Rangers fan, assaulted him, knocked him to the ground unconscious," said police Capt. Larry Nodiff.
The original video was removed from YouTube but not before NBCPhiladelphia.com got a good look at it.
The video begins with what appears to be a Flyers fan wearing a No. 28 Claude Giroux Flyers jersey taking off his coat as he goads on a fan in a No. 24 Ryan Callahan Rangers jersey -- supposedly the off-duty cop.
Suddenly the Flyers fan swings at the Rangers fan and a melee ensues right in the middle of the street between Geno's and Pat's Steaks.
The Rangers fan punches back but is quickly taken to the ground where a man in a No. 68 Jaromir Jagr Flyers jersey jumps in and begins pounding the Rangers fan. Suddenly the guy in the Giroux jersey and a man in a black coat begin to punch another Rangers fan, also taking him to the ground.
The whole time another guy in a Flyers jersey tries to hold back his fellow Philly fans.
As others jump in to try and stop the fight, both Rangers fans get to their feet. The man in the Giroux jersey is being held back but appears to break away and land a loud blindside punch to the side of the head of Auricchio, dropping him to the ground.
The 47-second video ends with the Rangers fan (believed to be the off-duty officer) on the ground -- knocked out -- as the Flyers fan stands over top of him to grab his coat and go.
Police say the fan that was knocked out was later hospitalized at a North Jersey hospital with a concussion. Auricchio's father says his son had to have stitches under one of his eyes.
"We believe that people in the crowd that were with the attackers know who was involved -- and they know the identity of who was involved -- and we would ask them to come forward," said Nodiff.
On Friday police released two pictures of one of the men involved in the brawl.

Now I'm pretty sure that Gumball's best friend is a goldfish because he is all orange in color and he seems to have a tail fin and even pectoral fins which happens to be his arms. Of course I could be wrong, but I think it's pretty obvious. Anyways, I told you that I was going to submit more characters from The Amazing World of Gumball, and so here it is, "how to draw Darwin", step by step. When I was reading Darwin's brief bio I found out that he was once a pet that spent a lot of time in a fishbowl. That is until he grew a pair of legs and became Gumball's best friend. He has a friendly face and the only thing he wears is a pair of green colored canvas like shoes. He is going to be even easier to draw than Gumball, and when you are finished you will have the two main characters of the new Cartoon Network animated series. I have to get going because there is a lot more for me to do today. Have fun drawing Darwin, I will be back with more fun stuff for you guys to draw. Peace people!

- Stocks To Watch
Out of Fashion: Foot Locker & Quiksilver Fall After Earnings
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Not a good day for the more trendy class of stock, it seems. We've already noted Skullcandy's (SKUL) 21% plunge, but shares of Foot Locker (FL) and Quiksilver (ZQK) are also falling, down 6% and 5% respectively and two of the biggest decliners on the S&P 500.
Quiksilver is an interesting stock -- it's up 30% in the past year as it has worked on turning the business around, but that doesn't tell the full tale:
(Click on chart for a larger version)
You can see the late spring-early summer dip followed by the big recent move up, with the stock climbing nearly 70% in the past six months. Today, though, it's taking a tumble after reporting fiscal first-quarter earnings:
[R]esults fell far short of analyst expectations. Quiksilver, which owns Roxy, DC and its namesake brand said late Thursday that its loss for the three months ended Jan. 31 widened to $31.1 million, or 19 cents per share, from $22.6 million, or 14 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring charges and asset impairments, net loss totaled 16 cents per share. Analysts expected a loss of 7 cents per share, according to FactSet.
Revenue fell 4 percent to $431 million from $449.6 million. Analysts expected $465 million.
No such worries for Foot Locker, which said its quarterly profit was up 28%, thanks in part to an extra week. Nevertheless, earnings beat estimates and left the AP somewhat guessing as to why the stock is tanking:
Investors, who had driven shares up 10 percent in 2013, may have had higher expectations for the quarter.
They may also be concerned about an increase in general expenses, which Janney analyst Eric Tracy said "looked a bit heavy" in the most recent quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 12 percent to $363 million in the period. The company said on a conference call that its expenses for marketing and other items in 2013 will be a similar proportion of sales as in 2012.
S&P Capital IQ seem unconcerned, though: Analyst Jason Asaeda reiterated his Buy rating for the stock.

Projects and programs financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) often have adverse social, environmental and economic impacts for which the Bank should be held accountable. As with other multilateral development banks, ADB is a public institution funded by taxpayers' money and should therefore be made accountable to the public. The ADB, however, is immune from judicial proceedings and cannot be taken to court; the only available means is its Accountability Mechanism (AM).

Zen Mind … Runner's Mind
ChiRunning, just like anything else worth learning, takes focus and concentration to really get it right. Trying to remember to lift your legs, lean your body, keep your posture straight, and chew gum all at the same time might leave you feeling as though you're using your brain more than your legs! Well, guess what? You should be.
ChiRunning is not only for your running technique, but also helps you train your mind to be more quiet, focused and concentrated. By putting your attention on lifting your legs or leaning forward in a repetitive way, you are teaching your mind to focus. When your mind is focused, it becomes quiet and uncluttered. To make clear decisions in your life or to be able to do anything really well, you need to be able to focus your mind. This is one of the goals of meditation and one of the great benefits of ChiRunning.
Meditation isn't easy but it's a great practice to train your mind. If you've ever tried to meditate, you've noticed that your mind wanders all over the place. Fact is, it doesn't just wander when you're meditating, it wanders most of the time. The Buddhists call it the "monkey mind" because it jumps so quickly from one thought to another.
In order to train your body, you must first train your mind. Begin by focusing on just one aspect of your running for 2 minutes at a time. It could be leaning or picking up your feet or your foot-strike … anything. As you attempt to hold the focus, you'll notice how much your mind wanders. If you're focusing on leaning, repeatedly and gently return your mind and your body to the focus of leaning. The key word here is gently. This, too, is part of the practice: to simply notice, but not beat yourself up and say, "I can't do this!" Simply return to the focus and try again.
Eventually your mind will be more focused and your body will naturally take on the new way of moving without your mind telling it what to do. After training your mind and your body in this way, you'll find you can learn anything more easily.
ChiRunning is good for your running and for your body. The more you practice focusing in this way, the greater chances you'll have of running longer and faster, and virtually injury-free for many years to come.
It's also good for your mind and your spirit. A clear, focused mind is hard to come by in our busy, cluttered world, and yet it's what we all need more than ever. And when your mind is clear, it allows your spirit to run free.
Resources to help you master the ChiRunning basics:

- ChiRunning DVD: A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless Injury-Free Running

Ruggiano appreciates road home run
CINCINNATI -- It's a good thing for the Marlins that their series with the Reds is in Cincinnati this weekend. Otherwise, Justin Ruggiano's game-winning home run off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman on Friday night might not have cleared the fence.
"Oh, it was one of those [home runs] where [because] I did it here, I knew I had a chance," Ruggiano said. "I wasn't sure if it was going to go, but if it had been at our ballpark, I would have been taking a right turn."
Said Marlins manager Mike Redmond, "We're probably still playing."
Instead, Ruggiano's homer, estimated at 418 feet, cleared the fence in left-center.
"That's one of the advantages of playing on the road in a small park," Redmond said. "We finally got that big hit we've been talking about, that we needed. Hopefully it'll be a spark for our offense."
With the home run, Ruggiano -- 0-for-3 with two strikeouts until that point -- extended his hitting streak to a team-high five games. He is batting .421 (8-for-19) during the streak.
"He's a guy who can hit in the middle of our order," Redmond said. "We don't have a lot of power in our lineup, but he's one of the guys that we've got who can hit the ball out of the ballpark. He's done a nice job. He's given us good at-bats."
Ruggiano is hitting .259 (14-for-54) this season. He has more home runs (three) than the rest of Miami's offense combined (two).

Like every other nations Hazara people have also their own kind of foods. These foods i will write about here are much different from other foods. Here are some of the famouse foods;
Aash is a kind of food that has its own taste. Aash was not to found in hazara restaurents a few years back but now it is not difficult to find a restaurent for eating aash. Aash is made of flour and its easy to make at home. Some hazara housewives make aash at home and sell it to shops and earn some money.
Aash can be a healthy food for sick people without any of its extra ingredience on it. Aash is also a feast food. In parties it can be served with minced meat, vegetables and lenses on it. People do it in their on ways.
Dalda is mostly favourite food of adults. When its raw it looks like Wheat. After cooking it for a while it doesn't look like the same. When its done its served with some boied oil in the middle, which has its own taste.
Dalda eats with hands.
Yakhni is a kind of soup. It can be soup of kitchen, goat, cow or may be sheep. When you put some bread (nan) in the bowl of your soup then it become NANTAR, which means beared is wet. This food tastes better with hands, but it can be eaten by spoon,too.
Meat of the soup is in another plate beside the bowl of the soup.
Halwa-e-samank is not ordinary food. It can be made as daily food like dinner or lunch. Halwa is for holidays like Muharram(holly month) or funeral.
Making of halwa is not easy job. You have to be strong enough to mix the ingrediance with its spoon. For making if this food you need strong folks and it takes atleast one day to be done with this delicious and wonderful food. It can be light brown or dark brown or just brown. Sugar is the important ingrediance in Halwa-e-samanak. Without sugar you can't call it for Halwa-e-samank.
Ogray aajai is one of the hazaragi foods which is mostly eaten by old women and old men. Ingridiance in this food are flour, little bit oil, water and salt after taste. Its served the same way as Dalda, with boiled oil in the middle of the plate.
The oil in themiddle looks like a valley and the rest of the food like a mountain.
Like Halwa-e-samanak ogray aajai is also not easy to make.
Aashak is also a hazaragi food, but not all hazaras can make aashak. Kabuli (people of Kabul,Afghanistan) are very good at making aashak and mantu. Inside the aashak is usually minced meat or spinach. Its usually served with youghurt on it. It tastes very good.
Mantu is a very delicious hazaragi food. Actualy its kabuli peple who are very expert at making mantu, hazaras are also good at making mantu. Mantu is boiled food like aashak. Aashak and mantu can't be boiled in water like eggs. You can find stearmers which are specially for these kind of foods.
For making this food extra deliciouse and beautiful, it can be decorated with cooked lenses, salat and plain yoghurt.
Recipi for mantu: http://www.angelfire.com/country/fauziaspakistan/mantu_dumplings.html
Sholay is a little bit different from other hazaragi foods. There are meat, rice, and different kinds of beans and different spices to make the dish very spicy. Its colour is brown and tastes wonderful.
Sholay is mostly favorite of men folks.
In hazara tradition qadid is dried meat. It takes four to six weeks to dry the meat before it is dry enough to call it qadid. Qadid can be eaten with yakhni (read paragraph yakhni/nantar) which tastes very delicious.
Qadid is known as landi among pashtons.
Qabuli is both hazaragi and kabuli dish. Its actually simple boiled rice with fried carrot and raisins on it. People in Kabul do not use as much carrot as people in Quetta.
Children and some adults too do not like the carrots and raisins in their qabuli because it tastes sweet, and take the unlikely parts out of the dish.
There are many delicious foods in hazaragi tradition which are not named in the list upon. Here comes the list with the names of the foods whichare eaten by hazaras in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Australia, Europe and where ever in the world they live.
I will only write the names and little bit about the food. Not as detailed as the foods are named earlier.
These foods are both hazaragi foods and foods from other traditions like Pakistani and Indian.
- Biryani (بریانی): is almost on everyone's favorite list. May be on the top. Biryani is spicy rice with meat. The meat can be chicken, cow or sheep. Biryani is usually served in wedding parties and muharram month.
- Chawol tarkari (چاول ترکاری): Chawol is white, boiled rice. Tarkari is sauce with meat in it. Chawol tarkari also can be served in wedding parties.
- Omaj (اماج)
- Kocha (کوچه)
- Changali (چنگالی)
- Bosragh (بوسراغ): is specially for eid festivals.
- Qurti (قرتی)
- Nan buta (نان بوتا)
- Alo qima/minced meat with patato (آلو قیمه )
- Alo matar/patato with peas (آلو متر)
- Daal/beans (دال)
- Qurti (قرتی)
- Makrooni (مکرونی)
- Spaghetti (سپا گیتی)
- Morghpalaw (مرغ پالاو)
- Chawol cholay (چاول چولی)
And many more delicious and spicy and wonderful dishes . . .
Hazara people are not actually interested in desert. Couple of years back desert was not so famous among hazaras but now people are starting to serve desert after dinner or lunch. Some sweet dishes which are not used as desert but still can be called desert are;
- Shir yakh/frozen milk (شیریخ) i guarantee you that you would love shir yakh if you taste it once.
- Custered: is actually a pakistani sweet dish but most of hazara families use this dish as a sweet dish.
- Firni (فرنی): is kabuli dish.
- Shir brinj (شیر برنج): if i translate this word in english it would be milk rice. Its obevious from the name that main things in this dish are milk and rice. Sugar and cardamom makes the taste perfect.

The tiny principality of Monaco, nestled on the French Riviera, is best known as a playground of the rich and famous. But it could soon garner a reputation for more than its glamourous Grand Prix and numerous casinos. It's now home to what could become the world's most expensive apartment: the 3,300-square-meter, quintuplex "Sky Penthouse" in the soon-to-be-completed Odeon Tower. Developed by Groupe Marzocco – a luxury real estate company – the double skyscraper of 70 apartments will tower over the principality at 170 meters high.
It promises future residents the "five-star experience" with a 24/7 concierge, an entertainment area (with private movie room and lounge ) and a "wellness centre", including a gym, sauna, private spas and a selection of pools. Spread over five floors, the penthouse property will include, among other things, a kitchen on each floor, five bedrooms, a living-room, dining-room, private home-cinema, sauna and a swimming pool – which is also accessible via a slide. Scheduled to be completed in September 2015, the Marzocco family is expected to put it on the market for around $400 million, potentially making it the world's most expensive apartment.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady spoke after the midnight hour following his team's 42-27 loss to KC.
Transcript provided by the Patriots' media relations department:
September 7, 2017
Q: What did you see on the two fourth-and-1 plays you weren't able to convert, and did you think about a quarterback sneak on either of those?
TB: I think it's just better execution. I mean, situational football's always important to us and short yardage and a lot of things that we need to do a better job of. So, it was just a very poor effort. We're going to have to do a lot better.
Q: What changed after the Rob Gronkowski touchdown that was called back and the first fourth-and-1 that you weren't able to convert?
TB: Yeah, that was a disappointing play. I mean, that would have been a big play in the game. You know, just didn't make it and didn't make a lot of plays tonight, actually. So, we just have to be a lot better in a lot of areas, starting with our attitude and our competitiveness. We're going to have to do a lot better than tonight.
Q: Your offense has struggled in the last few years when Julian Edelman has been injured. What does the offense have to do to play better without him on the field?
TB: Yeah, I mean, we definitely have to play better. It's a long year, so we've got 15 games. We're going to have to do a better job, and he's not coming back. So, the guys that are in there are going to have to do a good job. Every position that we have is going to have to do a better job than we did tonight. There was nothing really positive about anything that was done, so we've got to get back to work. We've got nine days before the next game, and hopefully we play a lot better than tonight.
Q: Did the Chiefs do anything in particular to take away the short middle area of the field?
TB: Yeah, you know, they packed it in there pretty good. We had a couple plays, and then we missed a lot of plays. If that's how teams are going to play us, then we've got to make plays where they're not, and I always say I'm going to throw it where they're not. We just didn't come up with enough of them.
Q: What didn't you like about the team's attitude tonight?
TB: I just think we need to have more urgency and go out there and perform a lot better. That is a winning attitude and a championship attitude that you need to bring every day. We had it handed to us on our own field. It's a terrible feeling, and the only people that can do something about it are in that locker room. We've got to dig a lot deeper than we did tonight because we didn't dig very deep tonight.
Q: What are your thoughts on Mike Gillislee and Brandin Cooks in their first regular season game with the team?
TB: Yeah, Mike ran really hard. We're going to need that all season from him. He ran hard. Cookie made a lot of plays, drew I think four or five pass interference penalties, along with his receptions. Wish I'd have hit him on that post there, the second-to-last drive. So, I've got to figure out what I've got to do better.
Q: Did you and Josh McDaniels feel like you were limited in what you could do to counter the Chiefs because your wide receiver options, like Phillip Dorsett and Brandin Cooks, lacked experience playing with you?
TB: I think Phillip [Dorsett] knew what to do. We just have to execute better. I mean, different guys are called on at different times. He went in there, and I wasn't worried about him. We've just all got to do a better job, everyone.
Q: The teams you've been a part of have always been known for being mentally strong and competitive. In that context, was it shocking to you that that was an issue tonight?
TB: Well, we didn't have it the way we needed it tonight. It's got to be at a much higher level next week and the rest of the year. That's going to be a big point of emphasis for all of us.

Jim Cohen
Jim Cohen specializes in land use planning, growth management, planning history and theory.
Dr. Cohen teaches graduate courses in planning history and theory and growth management and environmental planning, in addition to facilitating summer community planning studios. An example of a recent studio courses is the 2010 report, "Access to Healthy Food in Prince George's County, MD", which explored the presence of "food deserts" in that county's older residential neighborhoods. His 2012 summer studio class developed a plan for an urban farm and urban agriculture education center on an 11-acre site in College Park, MD. The experience of one of Dr. Cohen's previous studio courses was the basis for his chapter "Using a Studio Course for Provision of Smart Growth Technical Assistance," in W. Wiewel and G. Jan-Knaap (eds.), Partnerships for Smart Growth (Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 2005). Since the Spring of 2010 Dr. Cohen has also been teaching an undergraduate course entitled "The Sustainable City: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges."
Dr. Cohen is involved in research on alternative strategies for improving the energy efficiency of the original homes built in Greenbelt, MD, and exporing the question of "are 'green' cities sustainable. In collaboration with Marie Howland, in 2010 Dr. Cohen completed funded research analyzing trends in industrially-zoned land use in Prince George's County, and the economic impacts and policy implications of those trends. He and former master's student Alison Wakefield presented a paper at the 2012 annual conference of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP) on entreprenerial urban agriculture, and he an former graduate student Rebecca Schaff presented a paper entitled "Hues of Green: Sustainable Development Values and Green Industrial Development", at the 2009 ACSP conference.
Two of his other land-use research projects are posted on the website of the National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education. One is entitled "Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances in Maryland: An Analysis of Their Implementation and Effects on Residential Development in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area". Another paper is entitled "Water Supply as a Factor in Local Growth Management in the U.S.: A Review of Current Practice, and Implications for Maryland." Dr. Cohen has also examined strategies being implemented by cities to address the problem of abandoned houses and empty lots resulting from persistent population loss. This research resulted in an article, "Abandoned Housing: Exploring Lessons from Baltimore," that was published in November 2001 in Housing Policy Debate. That paper is available at www.innovations.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/hpd_1203_cohen.pdf

FAQ on Radiation Risk From Tsunami-Damaged Nuclear Plants
By Daniel J. DeNoon
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
March 14, 2011 -- Among the casualties of Japan's earthquake/tsunami disaster were several nuclear power plants. Damage and failed cooling systems have raised the fears of a meltdown happening.
There's hope that a major nuclear disaster can be averted. But what are the risks from the radiation that already has been released -- and from the radiation that could be released if containment efforts fail?
Here's WebMD's FAQ.
What does it mean for a nuclear energy plant to melt down?
"Meltdown" is not a technical term, but it vividly describes the worst-case scenario for a nuclear reactor.
Nuclear reactors generate power via controlled nuclear fission, which occurs when enough radioactive material is gathered into a critical mass. Control rods can separate the radioactive material, thus ending the nuclear reaction.
That's exactly what happened when the March 11 earthquake hit Japan. Control rods effectively halted the nuclear reactions.
This means there is no danger of a nuclear blast from Japan's damaged nuclear plants.
But the nuclear materials inside the reactors remain radioactive -- which means they give off a great deal of heat. It takes days to cool these materials down.
If not cooled, these materials will melt. In a worst-case scenario, they could possibly melt right through the thick metal shield that contains the reactor, spilling highly radioactive materials into the environment.
When the tsunami hit Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, three reactors lost power. That meant serious trouble, as the pumps needed to cool the overheated reactors with water stopped running when their battery backups were exhausted.
Nuclear reactors have two main containers that keep radioactive materials from spreading outside the plant. One container is the thick-walled building surrounding each reactor. The other is a thick metal vessel that makes up the outer wall of the reactor itself.
As water cools the fuel rods in the innermost container, steam is created. The intense heat also releases hydrogen from the water. If the pressure inside the container gets too high, the steam has to be vented. This releases some radioactivity. It also releases hydrogen, which can build up inside the building.
At least two of the three buildings housing the Fukushima reactors had hydrogen explosions. One, on March 14, injured 11 workers and could be felt for miles. However, the internal containment walls appear to remain intact.
How much radiation has escaped Japan's damaged nuclear plants?
One of the emergency measures being taken to prevent a meltdown is the release of steam from the reactors. This means some radiation is released into the environment.
Japan's nuclear energy agency reports that measures of radiation outside the plant are higher than legal limits, but that they were not dangerously high as of March 14.
Nevertheless, officials have evacuated all residents living within 20 kilometers (about 12.5 miles) of the plant.
If the Japanese nuclear reactors melt down, how dangerous would it be?
Some of the workers trying to prevent a meltdown have already suffered radiation sickness and injury from explosions related to hydrogen buildup outside the reactor core.
"The scariest outcome from such releases of radiation are the immediate effects, which are going to be only felt by personnel who have to go into the building and shut it down," radiation biologist Jacqueline P. Williams, PhD, tells WebMD. Williams is a researcher in the department of radiation oncology at the University of Rochester, N.Y.
The long-term effects of radiation exposure, Williams says, are the various cancers that can occur.
The most cancers most commonly associated with radiation are leukemia and cancers of the thyroid, lung, and breast.
The worst nuclear disaster ever was in 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in northern Ukraine. This wasn't the same kind of disaster as in Japan, as it was caused by a series of human and mechanical failures. The result was a series of explosions that shot a plume of radioactive materials into the air.
Fallout from Chernobyl fell heavily on Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Austria, and Bulgaria.
"The Chernobyl cloud technically covered a huge area. It did follow the jet stream and everything else," Williams says. "But radioactive particles have substance, they have weight. The bigger the particle, the quicker it falls out of the cloud. So the contamination area where you have risks from contamination are relatively close to the disaster site. As far as I am aware, the cancers from Chernobyl radiation occurred in and around Chernobyl itself."
However, radioactive iodine from the Chernobyl cloud fell on fields where it was absorbed by grass, eaten by cows, and drunk as milk by children. Until 1998, there was a significant increase in thyroid cancer among children in the affected areas.
A meltdown in Japan would be devastating to the local environment. Should there be a release of radiation, and should winds blow in the wrong direction, residents of Japan would be affected to some degree. But the effects almost certainly will not go far beyond the borders of Japan.
Could radiation from Japan's nuclear plants affect the U.S.?
No radiation from the Japan disaster is expected to hit the U.S., say experts from the Oregon State University department of radiation health physics.
"Any radioactive contaminants released will end up raining out of the atmosphere into the Pacific Ocean, where they will be diluted and absorbed, or in the very near vicinity of the plants," Kathryn Higley, PhD, says in a news release. "This is not Chernobyl."
Who is most at risk from radiation exposure?
Radiation risks are different for people at different stages of life:
- Radiation has harmful effects on child development.
- Radiation can induce cancers that appear years after an adult is exposed.
- Elderly people's cells may have reduced ability to repair damage from radiation.

"Radiation research worldwide has been very much in decline, and has only received a little boost since 9/11," Williams says. "In the past 10 to 20 years research has focused on medical radiation therapy and not on accidental or incidental exposure."
According to Lisandro Irizarry, MD, chair of emergency medicine at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York, symptoms of acute radiation poisoning are nausea and vomiting. Other symptoms include fever, dizziness, disorientation, and bloody diarrhea. Symptom onset is quickest with the greatest radiation exposure.
What is the best way to prevent radiation exposure?
In the event of a nuclear accident, people living near nuclear power plants generally are provided with potassium iodine pills. That's because radiation leaks tend to carry radioactive iodine. The pills load the thyroid gland with iodine and prevent uptake of radioactive molecules.
But the best way to prevent radiation exposure is to stay indoors, close the windows, and turn off external sources of air, such as air-conditioning, until the all-clear is given or until you can safely be evacuated from a contaminated area.
"Contamination from fallout comes from touching a contaminated surface, from it falling, from inhaling it, or ingesting it," Williams says. "So in case of an event, be sure to drink bottled water and eat only sealed food that has not been outside."

Grand Hustle announced their arrival with B.o.B's raucous entrance to "Beast Mode," backed by a live band. His next number, "How Bout Dat," commanded a fleet of backup dancers. He followed that with the upbeat single "Magic" off his debut album, B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray.
The song faded into a dubstep beat, pushing the dancers front and center to showcase their moves before the venue finally went dark.

We really need Wally! Love the drawing!ReplyDelete
If only they would make the move. The talent still isn't good enough, but at least the Mets would have a manager fans could rely on to make solid moves and show some fire and kick some butt in the clubhouse!ReplyDelete
