Oilers Top 20, May 2010
A lot has changed since I did the December top 20 and even more has gone down since last summer's entry draft. Last year I did a top 20 (pre-draft) on June 1 and had planned on doing it again this June 1. However, an important family issue means there will be little time on the weekend and I wanted to get this right while there was time.
Graduated from last summer's list: G Jeff Deslauriers, C Rob Schremp, D Cody Wild.
- L Magnus Paarjarvi-Svensson. His NHLE (82gp, 16-22-38) from the SEL last season suggests he is probably NHL ready (certainly ready for this edition of the Oilers). His impressive WJ's and WHC performances added to his fame and Oiler fans await news that he is signed and coming to camp. Best LW to come through the system since Ryan Smyth.
- R Jordan Eberle. His NHLE (82gp, 22-24-46) from the WHL suggests he is the most offensively ready Oilers prospect. Eberle's issues (foot speed, size) will always be issues, but his positives (he's a shooter, plus he has performed well at all levels) mean he is exactly the type of player Edmonton fast-tracks (dating back to Comrie, Hemsky and Gagner). I doubt he's on next season's list.
- C Riley Nash. His NHLE (82gp, 13-26-39) suggests Nash is certainly worth an NHL look-see this fall. If Nash and the organization were getting along it might be possible to suggest a Shawn Horcoff-like developmental line (full college career, turn pro and then spend 20 games in the NHL before making the show) but I don't think he'll be an Oiler prospect a year from now. When Oilers fans fret over the organization not getting the most out of their assets, situations like this one are what they're worrying over. The same strong-willed determination we're seeing with Nash may one day make him a team leader. I don't think it'll be with the Oilers, though.
- C Chris Vande Velde. His NHLE (82gp, 13-21-34) is solid and his positives (faceoffs, he's rugged and has size) are not duplicated on the prospect list. Vande Velde could surprise a lot of people and pass some first rounders in the race to NHL regular status. He has some very good arrows.
- D Theo Peckham. He lost a season due to injury and conditioning problems and should he fail to show up in top condition this fall one imagines the organization will sour on him. However, Peckham (like Vande Velde) has a nice window of opportunity here based on his skills (tough, defense first) and the organization's lack of quality and depth in exactly this spot. We'll get a strong tell about Theo Peckham in the fall; if he shows up in terrific shape and determined (remember Brodziak a few years ago at TC?) the Oilers should have an NHL defenseman for years to come. The job is his to lose.
- L Linus Omark. His NHLE (82gp, 20-15-35) and his age (23) added to his size (he's another minute man) mean two things for him this fall: he needs to come into camp and outplay the other minute men and then he needs to keep doing it every night until he's established at the NHL level. Unlike Robert Nilsson, Omark does not have draft pedigree. Like Nilsson, Omark is facing a long list of similar talents (some of whom have strong ties to the organization and major CYA importance to the scouting staff). Omark is similar to Schremp in that he arrives late to the party with the reputation of being a one dimensional type. I like him as a player, but don't like his chances.
- C Anton Lander. His NHLE (82gp, 9-12-21) isn't overly impressive (there are a half dozen better offensive prospects as close or closer to the show) but this "Doug Jarvis" comparable I keep seeing is a tremendous positive. If Anton Lander can fill a role as a quality 3rd line center and a capable penalty-killer, he'll deserve this ranking and then some. This is a player whose boxcars may not tell the story. Think Mike Peca.
- G Devan Dubnyk. The highest ranking goalie on the list, Dubnyk might be at a crossroads with the organization. He showed well in a late season run with the Oilers (he had a .912SP in his final 10 games with the Oilers). Should he one day establish himself as an NHL #1 goalie, the Oilers will have turned around a long list of failed goalie draft picks post Moog-Fuhr.
- D Alex Plante. His pro debut was the most impressive in the entire system. Plante is a high draft pick but injury set him back and expectations were not high for him entering this fall. Injuries and callups forced Plante up the depth chart and he played well, so well in fact the club rewarded him with a call to the show (4gp, +1) last season. He's in a position now to take advantage of struggles by Peckham or actual NHL defenders and play for prolonged periods in the NHL next season. I bet he's passed Chorney on the depth chart.
- D Jeff Petry. His NHLE (82gp, 4-22-26) makes him (once again) the strongest offensive defenseman in the system and his wider range of skills gives us some hope for a more complete defender than someone like Chorney (Petry is 4 inches and 20 pounds bigger than Chorney). Petry's -10 in 8 AHL games to close the season once again gives us pause in regard to rushing college defensemen to the show.
- L Teemu Hartikainen. His NHLE (82gp, 12-14-26) tells us he projects as more of a role player than Nash or Vande Velde. He is a little sluggish as a skater but has good size and I think enough offense that his bat won't be considered a negative (negative like Colin McDonald, who would have a career waiting if he could score once in awhile). I can't wait for him to get here, because my suspicion is that he's better than the numbers imply. Having said that, the math says we're looking at a 4th liner with nice secondary skills.
- R Ryan Stone. He's on the list because injury made it impossible for him to play 50 NHL games (that's my line in the sand for prospects). Stone's ranking has a lot to do with the lack of similar player-types in the system. If the Oilers had several bigger forwards who could play a physical style and be somewhat responsible then Stone might be farther down the list or not on the list. However, he's a legit prospect based on the Oilers inability to fill the position and is at this time the best NHL ready option on the list.
- D Taylor Chorney. His NHL performance (42gp, 0-3-3 -21) and his AHL totals (32gp, 4-9-13 -20) are a concern to those of us who eat Cheesies by the barrel in our basements; I imagine the Oilers are apoplectic about his math mark. I know he looks like a player (wonderful skater) but there should be real concern about this player as a defenseman. He's not strong enough, he's not going to have a chance to gain the experience needed at this level before getting passed by other defensemen, and he isn't going to have much trade value if he posts another similar season. I think we can agree there's legit concern about this player in the higher reaches of Oiler management.
- G Olivier Roy. An impressive QMJHL season (his .908 SP was 5th among regulars in the Q) added to a solid resume make him the next great hope for an Oiler picked goalie to have an impact in the show. He's done everything right since draft day, including shaking off a slow start to have a strong season.
- D Johan Motin. Motin made his pro debut and performed well. His numbers (he's not an offensive defender) are rock solid in the AHL (55gp, 1-5-6 -5 on a terrible team) and he would rank higher if there was any evidence he played against tough competition in the minors. He may be ranked too low on this list, I'll watch for Jonathan Willis to update the toughness of minutes played in Springfield. That aside, it looks like the organization regards him as a depth player at this time.
- R Toni Rajala. His NHLE (82gp, 11-15-26) is in the "tweener" range and there's a very good chance he'll be much less than we're hoping for based on how good he looked on televison. His season just wasn't that impressive. Maybe he had a tough time adjusting or didn't get the playing time that other prospects received, but the math says he's a long shot.
- L Phil Cornet. His NHLE (82gp, 10-17-27) imply a classic "tweener" and one wonders about his first pro season. His minor league career begins at a time when the Oilers are very interested in building a better AHL club, which may mean a full season at the ECHL level. Not a death sentence for a prospect (Liam Reddox played in the ECHL his first pro season) but probably not what young Cornet is hoping for this fall.
- D Troy Hesketh. He's miles away but did progress as a player in high school and he's going to blue factory Wisconsin after he graduates. When in doubt, bet on the tall trees.
- R Colin McDonald. Good size and strength, he can't hit a lick. This season's NHLE (82gp, 6-5-11) isn't going to get him a job and he's been playing in the AHL for 225 games now.
- D Josef Hrabal. "The Pencil" was a regular in the Czech league this past season and I'm still convinced he's a prospect. The rumors about the Oilers buying him out seem to have been incorrect.
There's the list. It'll change after draft day, the number one slot will no doubt go to Hall/Seguin. I also suspect Riley Nash will be traded. Did I miss anyone?

By DREW GARDNER 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - East Tennessee Children's Hospital in Knoxville is launching a $75 million expansion campaign.
The plans include a new five-story building encompassing nearly 250,000 square feet of hospital space.
It includes a neonatal intensive care unit that will be private and contain 44 beds, along with more parking and family areas.
President and CEO Keith Goodwin helped unveil the first drawings of the new facility Tuesday morning.
"It will enhance in a very dramatic way our ability to work with families," said Goodwin.
One way it's doing that is putting all stops for those families under one roof from parking to a state of the art surgery center.
Sabrina Copas understands the toll these hospital visits can take. Doctors discovered her son Luke's skull had prematurely fused in 2001. That began a series of visits to Children's.
"We had to go to several different places," said Copas. "It wasn't just one building or one place coming up and at a stressful time when their children are coming for surgeries and things like that it will make a big difference in their lives."
The hospital expects to break ground in the summer, with work lasting for around two years.
The building site will be at the corner of White Avenue and 21st Street in the Fort Sanders neighborhood.
The hospital will remain open during the construction will all services offered.
Internal funding will cover the majority of the cost.
The hospital says that more than $9 million has already been raised from private donors. The hospital is looking to the community for an addition $6 million.

LEARN Program
Auction Design
Reverse Auction
Forward Auction
A Groundbreaking Event for the Broadcast Television, Mobile Wireless, and Technology Sectors of the U.S. Economy
This innovative and unprecedented process brings market forces to bear on many of the most important decisions about spectrum reallocation.
The Learn Everything About Reverse-Auctions Now Program (LEARN) is designed to provide broadcasters and all stakeholders with valuable information about the business opportunities created by the incentive auction, as well as the proposed incentive auction process.
The FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on October 2, 2012 which launches the process which will leverage the collective expertise of the leading authorities in telecommunications, computer science, engineering, economics and law, as well as members of the public at large, to craft the best possible incentive auction.
On May 15, 2014 the FCC adopted a Report and Order to implement the Broadcast Television Incentive Auction. This page will be updated to reflect the Report and Order shortly.

History of Incentive Auctions
Congress recognized the revolutionary possibilities presented by the FCC's incentive auction proposal and, in passing the Spectrum Act in early 2012, authorized the FCC to conduct incentive auctions, with the first auction to be of broadcast television spectrum.
LEARN More
Proposed Auction Design
A Novel Design for a Novel Process
The broadcast television spectrum incentive auction will be the first such auction ever conducted and, accordingly, requires a new and unique design. The incentive auction itself will be comprised of two separate auctions -- a reverse auction and a forward auction. The lynchpin joining the reverse and the forward auctions is the "repacking" process.
LEARN More
Reverse Auction
The reverse auction is where broadcasters will bid to voluntarily relinquish spectrum rights in exchange for a portion of the proceeds from the forward auction. Learn about who can participate, what the options are for participating and more.
LEARN More
Forward Auction
The forward auction is where the potential users of repurposed spectrum bid for new flexible-use licenses. The FCC is familiar with forward auctions in the spectrum context, and has been conducting them for nearly two decades.
LEARN More
Repacking involves assigning channels to the broadcast television stations that remain on the air after the incentive auction in order to clear contiguous blocks of spectrum suitable for flexible use. The Notice considers only a reassignment of channels, not geographic moves of stations; however, a station that opts to channel share may have to move to a new geographic location – i.e., its sharing partner's tower.
LEARN More
After the auctions we will need to ensure the successful transition of some broadcasters to new channels including reimbursement of relocation costs. We will also need to issue licenses to the new users of the repurposed spectrum.

Will there be any changes to a broadcaster's responsibilities or rights if they channel share or move to VHF?

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Armored car company Brink's Co. said Friday that its fourth-quarter net income rose 77 percent, helped by strong results overseas.
The company also cautioned that it will be hard to match its 2012 earnings this year because of more productivity investments and its expectations for a currency devaluation in Venezuela.
Brink's earned $27.9 million, or 57 cents per share, for the period ended Dec. 31. That compares with $15.8 million, or 33 cents per share, a year earlier. The quarterly performance was helped by a smaller loss from discontinued operations.
Removing retirement plan expenses and other items, earnings were 60 cents per share.
Analysts polled by FactSet forecast earnings of 63 cents per share.
Revenue climbed to $1.01 billion from $968.3 million, with better performances in Latin America, the Asia Pacific region and Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Wall Street expected $999.2 million in revenue.
For the year, Brink's earned $88.9 million, or $1.83 per share. In the previous year the company earned $74.5 million, or $1.55 per share. Annual revenue rose 2 percent to $3.84 billion from $3.77 billion.
Chairman, President and CEO Tom Schievelbein said in a statement that the first quarter will be tough because the prior-year period included a strong performance from Latin America.
Brink's said it plans to sell its German cash-in-transit operations. The company expects the sale of its cash-in-transit business in Poland to be completed by March 31. It has completed the sale of its guarding operations in France and Morocco.

The 50 Coolest Albums ever
Popular music has always been inextricably linked to the notion of cool. Whether that be looking cool, sounding…More
There have been a great number of classic album covers , but there are some that you can't believe ever saw the light of day. And for the many budding artists out there, there is often the feeling that you could do better.
So, luckily, for us, a great number of them have decided to do just that, and create alternative covers for their favourite records.
We bring you 30 of the coolest: some are beautiful, some are clever, some are funny, and some have cats in (it's the internet: you're never more than a click away from our furry friends).

How do you improve one of the most iconic cover images of all time? Easy: by turning John, Paul, George and Ringo into supercool Gorillaz-style nu-punk cartoons, set the car on fire and stick an octopus on the side of Abbey Road, which is now a god-monster's beard. Of course.
Artist: Michael Jackson Album: Thriller Designer: Myriam… More details
Artist: Michael Jackson
Album: Thriller
Designer: Myriam Kühn
Looking back, the cover of Thriller should have been so much better. Why have Jacko in a white lounge suit when you could have something inspired by the greatest video of all time - the dancing graveyard of zombies and that red leather jacket? Why not, in fact, have something just like this beautifully illustrated affair instead? The campaign to make this the art for the 30th anniversary rerelease in November starts here.
Artist: David Bowie Album: Aladdin Sane Designer:… More details
Artist: David Bowie
Album: Aladdin Sane
Designer: Unknown
What's better than one utterly iconic photograph of the Thin White Duke? Sixteen of them of course. This montage of the final cover shot (shown in colour) alongside black and white versions of alternate shots from Brian Duffy's photoshoot makes a fantastic alternative image for Aladdin Sane. If they ever release a remixed version, this should be the cover.
Artist: System of a Down Album: Mezmerize Designer: Marni… More details
Artist: System of a Down
Album: Mezmerize
Designer: Marni Walker
Just one of three reimaginings of the seminal System of a Down trilogy of records - Toxicity and the followups Mezmerize and Hypnotize - these hand-drawn images are beautifully designed and realised. This is our favourite; a range of beautiful blues centred around a suitably mesmerising face.
Artist: Björk Album: Post Designer: Hanuko Clulow Björk… More details
Artist: Björk
Album: Post
Designer: Hanuko Clulow
Björk has never been an artist to shy away from the ethereal and eccentric, so she would doubtless approve of this beautiful reworking of the cover for her breakthrough album Post. Beautiful colours form the backdrop to the title made out of her hair - a natural tool that the Icelandic star has never been afraid of using for creative purposes.
Artist: The Beatles Album: Rubber Soul Designer:… More details
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Rubber Soul
Designer: FoolEcho
Designer FoolEcho has gone about re-imagining a host of classic Beatles record sleeves with this illustrated version of Rubber Soul being one of the best. The green backing gives the design a brighter and more, appropriately, psychedelic feel than the original, but the moody faces of the band's first 'grown-up' album remain.
Artist: Lady Gaga Album: Born This… More details
Artist: Lady Gaga
Album: Born This Way
Designer:cezuh0425/Nick Night
The real cover art for Gaga's pop opus Born This Way - featuring the singer's head stuck top of a motorbike - was certainly attention-grabbing but we prefer this alternate take, which takes a crop from an immensely cool photograph of Gaga in full flow (used for the artwork of a later single, Edge of Glory), taken by Nick Night, to make a far superior cover image.
Artist: Pet Shop Boys Album: Actually Designer:… More details
Artist: Pet Shop Boys
Album: Actually
Designer: brokentv
This genius cover 'remix' takes the cover of the Pets' classic 1987 opus Actually and applies the classic Penguin book template of one colour (other than black and white), one image and a standardised framework to glorious effect. The iconic 'yawning Neil' is tailor-made for this; the Pet Shop Boys' fondness for literary references in their lyrics only makes it more appropriate.
Artist: The Clash Album: London Calling Designer: Mikhail… More details
Artist: The Clash
Album: London Calling
Designer: Mikhail Vartikov
Vartikov's alternate cover for The Clash's seminal record takes a radically different approach to the rock 'n' roll bombast of the original cover, as a lone 'fisherman' sits on the shores of the river namechecked in the title track and sits quietly in reflection, away from the noise and traffic above. We don't fancy the guy's chances of catching anything in the Thames though.
Artist: Radiohead Album: OK Computer Designer: Steven… More details
Artist: Radiohead
Album: OK Computer
Designer: Steven Bonner
This is a stunning alternate cover for Radiohead's dystopian turn-of-the-millenium classic, OK Computer; an all-encompassing pitch-black screen seeps out from the TV and into the room, evocative of a digital oil slick. Simple, but very cool, and very effective.
Artist: Coldplay Album: Mylo Xyloto Designer: Lliam Evans… More details
Artist: Coldplay
Album: Mylo Xyloto
Designer: Lliam Evans [Lluminus/Whitehawk]
A hand-painted, graffiti-style alternate cover, this takes inspiration from the original Mylo cover, the lyrics contained within and the technicolour extravaganza of Coldplay's accompanying tour to stunning effect.
Artist: New Order Album: Power, Corruption &… More details
Artist: New Order
Album: Power, Corruption & Lies
Designer: Gary Andrew Clarke (2009)
Whilst this alternative design for New Order's classic may on the surface look nothing like the original, designer Clarke has cleverly taken Peter Saville's minimal style and and reinterpreted the cover according to a more modernist feel. In addition, the 'N O' is also a nice tip-of-the-hat to a later New Order cover (Waiting For The Sirens' Call), also designed by Saville. Again, this would be a fitting, and very cool cover for a 30th anniversary rerelease next year.
Artist: Guns 'N Roses Album: Chinese Democracy Designer:… More details
Artist: Guns 'N Roses
Album: Chinese Democracy
Designer: Unknown
It is unclear whether this design inspired, or mimicked, the eventual cover for the forever-delayed G'n'R comeback album; either way, it is a far superior effort to what eventually ended up on the cover, being more understated, simple and cool than the 'official' design. Mind you, understatement isn't really Axl's thing is it?
Artist: Michael Jackson Album: Smooth Criminal Designer:… More details
Artist: Michael Jackson
Album: Smooth Criminal
Designer: Dunnik
OK, so Smooth Criminal was never a Michael Jackson album, but after seeing this design, we really wish Bad had been retitled. One of Jacko's most iconic outfits, beautifully illustrated, together with an iconic hat-touch and outstretched hand pose, this is awesomely cool.
Artist: The Beatles Album: Magical Mystery Tour Designer:… More details
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Magical Mystery Tour
Designer: Kuri-ishi
The Fab Four are finally unmasked from their costumes in the original cover (although the artist admits two of them are mixed up - who cares though?) in this vibrant, energetic and thoroughly psychedelic and sixties illustrated alternative. Seriously fun and seriously cool.
Artist: Daft Punk Album: Harder, Better, Faster… More details
Artist: Daft Punk
Album: Harder, Better, Faster Stronger
Designer: ediskrad
This is seriously one of the coolest things we've ever seen: Daft Punk lyrics set out in Soviet social realism-style artwork. Simply brilliant. C'est magnifique.
Artist: Madonna Album: Madonna Designer: fabio2k5 Madonna's… More details
Artist: Madonna
Album: Madonna
Designer: fabio2k5
Madonna's first album set her on the way to becoming the undisputed queen of pop (at least, until a certain Ms. Gaga came along), and saw the songs on it define a decade. This brilliant alternate cover captures Madge's style at the time, together with the style of the era itself in the bold, 80s-style illustration. Retro-chic at its finest, and very, very cool.
Artist: Europe Album: The Final Countdown Designer: Colm… More details
Artist: Europe
Album: The Final Countdown
Designer: Colm MacAthlaoich
Produced as part of a project where 70 of Ireland's leading creatives created their own one-off cover versions of favourite album covers, this is one of our favourites. A brilliantly clever interpretation of The Final Countdown, this - of course - incorporates a working clock into the design. We guess it would've been expensive to mass produce for a 'real' version, but wouldn't it have been brilliant?
Artist: The Beatles Album: Let It Be Designer: Unknown Yes,… More details
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Let It Be
Designer: Unknown
Yes, we had to have one in here. We all know everything is better when cats are involved, and record sleeves are no different. The Fab Four become the Furry Four in this uncanny feline version of Let It Be, with the John Lennon cat in particular being spookily brilliant. All-in-all a purrfect alternative.
Artist: Gorillaz Album: Plastic Beach Designer: Mari… More details
Artist: Gorillaz
Album: Plastic Beach
Designer: Mari Mihai
This crazy alternative cover for Gorillaz' epic opus fits perfectly with the graphic style employed by Jamie Hewlett on the group's artwork. The components of the design, however, are wonderfully original - Koi fish of the plastic beach emerging from the headphones as they serenade - of course - a Gorilla. Magnificent.
Artist: La Roux Album: La Roux Designer: Andrew… More details
Artist: La Roux
Album: La Roux
Designer: Andrew Hodgson
This vector, abstract style version of La Roux's debut album is supremely cool, giving the sleeve an almost gallic feel, to go alongside the band's name itself. C'est chic indeed.
Artist: Kraftwerk Album: The Man-Machine Designer:… More details
Artist: Kraftwerk
Album: The Man-Machine
Designer: Unknown
Possibly the coolest of all the alternative covers on this list, this is simply stunning: a re-imagining of Kraftwerk's classic The Man-Machine, with the members of the band replaced by, naturally, man-machines, including Robocop and C3PO. Superb.
Artist: Radiohead Album: In Rainbows Designer: Unknown OK,… More details
Artist: Radiohead
Album: In Rainbows
Designer: Unknown
OK, we're allowed one cat one, and one funny one. Radiohead have become famous for their unexpected career moves: the jump from guitars to lo-fi electronica on Kid A and the pay-what-you-want scheme for In Rainbows. If only they'd given that album this artwork; it would have been worth it just to see the reaction from their fans - the internet would probably have imploded.
Artist: Iron Maiden Album: Starblind Designer: Stan W-D The… More details
Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: Starblind
Designer: Stan W-D
The man behind Eddie and the famous Iron Maiden artwork is, of course, Derek Riggs, but if he ever retires, then Stan W-D is ready and able to take over. This astonishing fan-made cover is for Starblind, an album track from The Final Frontier but the artwork is good enough to grace a bonafide album in itself. A truly brilliant illustration.
Artist: The Beatles Album: Help! Designer: FoolEcho A… More details
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Help!
Designer: FoolEcho
A second helping of Beatles-inspired art from FoolEcho, this time with the Fab Four dressed in Evertonian blue, sporting a scarf of Liverpool colours. If they were found in either Goodison Park or Anfield in that attire, then they probably would need some help. A fun and cool alternative to the original.
Artist: ABBA Album: Back in ABBlack Designer: Gavin… More details
Artist: ABBA
Album: Back in ABBlack
Designer: Gavin Beattie
OK, so not strictly speaking a real album - but it would be amazing on both a musical as well as artistic level if it did. Sweden's finest pop exports ABBA, meet Australia's finest rock band, AC/DC on Back in ABBlack. It would probably be a cold day on the Highway to Hell before you got AC/DC covering Dancing Queen but we can live in hope...
Artist: Nirvana Album: Nevermind (20th Anniversary… More details
Artist: Nirvana
Album: Nevermind (20th Anniversary Edition)
Designer: wedopix
An alternate design for the 20th anniversary release of Nirvana's commercial breakthrough album, this eschews the baby of the original to concentrate even more specifically on the name of the game: the filthy lucre of success which Kurt Cobain tried, in vain, to avoid. Subtle, but cool.
Artist: Radiohead Album: My Iron Lung Designer: Jennica… More details
Artist: Radiohead
Album: My Iron Lung
Designer: Jennica Lim
An early classic track by Radiohead, and name of an early minialbum when they were on the verge of breaking through; this alternate design captures both a literal take on the title, and also the industrial and mechanical sound of the bursts of guitar on the record itself.
Artist: The Strokes Album: Is This It Designer: Unknown A… More details
Artist: The Strokes
Album: Is This It
Designer: Unknown
A work of genius that only the internet could provide, this is a simple, yet dazzlingly effective idea: the recreation of classic album covers using just socks (a full gallery is here). Why on earth did no-one think of this before now? The finest example is the cover of The Strokes' debut; we'll never look at it in quite the same way again.

Bentley is extensively prepping for their future with a couple of new paths to higher sales. Just recently, the company has downsized from a W12 to a V8 engine and their next course of action is to offer a plug-in hybrid model. In an interview with Car and Driver, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer reported that the hybrid system could be based on Volkswagen technology and that it could combine either a W12 engine or a V8 engine with an electric motor placed between the engine and transmission. This system will allow an electric-only range of 16 to 19 miles - a relatively good range considering we are talking about very heavy vehicles.
Another new direction Bentley is taking, and probably the stranger of the two, is their announced plans to steal customers from Maybach. This bit of news came shortly after Mercedes announced that the last Maybach unit would be produced in early 2013. Bentley hopes that this termination of production will get stars like hip-hop artist Jay-Z, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and King Juan Carlos to turn their attention from the old Maybach models to Bentley's line-up. We would think that Rolls Royce would be a good candidate as well, but Bentley wouldn't be a bad way to go either.
"The withdrawal of Maybach is a business opportunity for us and we're going to use it," Bentley Chief Executive Wolfgang Duerheimer told Reuters. And they aren't too worried about Mercedes' decision to offer an S600 Pullman because "they wanted something more exclusive than a Mercedes in the first place, so Rolls or Bentley would seem an obvious substitution."
In this war, Bentley has the advantage of planning alarge luxury SUV that will be placed over the top Cayenne and it will be "highly customizable, including a wealth of interior materials and a choice of four- or five-passenger configurations."

I downloaded the beta last night but I don't see XFS support and I don't see any xfs packages on the DVD. Am I missing something?

The 64th Annual NW Philosophy Conference
Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon
Friday October 26 (3-6pm)
(followed by a reception and dinner)
Saturday October 27, 2012 (8-6pm)
The theme for this year's conference is Responsibility. The world is filled with extraordinary problems -- the loss of biodiversity, the problems associated with climate change, the gulf between the rich and the poor, seemingly endless war. Yet answers to questions of who is responsible for these conditions and what responsibility entails remain elusive. At the same time, received concepts of agency, responsibility, and determinism have undergone challenges and changes by philosophers from different perspectives.
Are concepts of responsibility and related matters in need of further revision? Are they in need of rescue and defense? In what ways do they speak to questions that matter today and that will matter in the future? The concept of responsibility has connections to issues of ethics, punishment, free will, religion, desire, experimental psychology, evolutionary biology, personal identity, and many other issues.
We welcome thought-provoking papers on all aspects of this concept, broadly or narrowly construed.
However, this conference has a tradition of welcoming quality submissions on ANY philosophical topic and we will continue that tradition. Our hope is to organize the papers about responsibility into dedicated sessions within the larger meeting.
The keynote speaker for this year's conference will be philosopher and co-host of the widely popular "Philosophy Talk" radio show, Dr. John Perry. John Perry is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Riverside, and the Henry Waldgrave Stuart Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Stanford University.
He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a recipient of many honors and awards, including the Nicod and Humboldt Prizes. A popular lecturer, in 1990 he was awarded the Dinkelspiel Award for undergraduate teaching.
He is the author of over 100 articles and books, including A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality, Knowledge, Possibility, and Consciousness, and Reference and Reflexivity. He also has the internet's most popular essay on procrastination. He is currently working on a book entitled, "Wretched Subterfuge: A defense of Hume's account of the compatibility of freedom and causation."
His talk for this conference is entitled:
"Are there really two concepts of blame and responsibility?"
The final day for paper submissions is: Friday, August 31, 2012.
Acceptance notifications will be sent on: September 21, 2012.
Last day to register for discounted hotel reservations is: October 01, 2012
The conference will be held on: Friday, October 26 - Saturday, October 27, 2012.
Programs from recent previous conferences can be found below:
Deadline for the receipt of papers is Friday August 31. Papers should be 25 minutes reading time (typically this is no more than 3000 words).This maximum will be strictly enforced. Submissions should include the paper and a cover page with paper title, abstract, and the author's name and affiliation, if any (e.g., independent scholar, associate professor). Graduate students should indicate that they are graduate students. Hard copies will be accepted, however, electronic submissions (Word or PDF documents) are strongly preferred. Authors of accepted papers are expected to be available as commentators as well.
Send papers to firstname.lastname@example.com or snailmail to:William Uzgalis, Department of Philosophy, Hovland Hall 205 , Oregon State University, Corvallis OR 97331
Registration fee is $75 and will include a dinner and a luncheon. Unfortunately, we cannot accept payments directly on-line.
Please fill out the linked form and you (and we) will immediately receive an email with your responses. Please print this email and mail it along with a check (payable to "Oregon State University") before October 19th to finalize your registration.
NOTE: Spouses/Partners/etc are welcome at the formal dinner. However, there is a $20.00 charge per person for those wishing to just join for dinner.
We have reserved a block of rooms at a discounted rate for the conference at the Hilton Garden Inn which is just steps from the OSU campus.

Mario Temes, born December 8th, 1995, is an American actor of Cuban descent, born and raised in Miami, Florida. He first discovered his passion for the arts when he was gifted a drum set from his parents at the age of 11. His love for music soon grew him into singing and performing in his high school's musical theater club. After having performed in various stage plays, Mario decided he wanted to explore the world of Film/TV.
With no training, Mario went on to audition for his first short film, and to his surprise landed the lead role. Mario was determined to continue acting for the rest of his life. Shortly after the completion of his first short film, he began professional training, leading him to book various other projects.
Although his heart belongs to acting, it isn't the only field in the world of Film/TV that has caught Mario's interest. He has found a passion for writing, producing and directing as well.

In the summer enjoy trekking, canoeing, mountaineering, rafting and sailing; while in winter skiing, skating, snowshoeing, dog-sledding and ice-climbing are all available – as is the opportunity to spend a night in the famous Ice Hotel. Winter also offers the opportunity to explore the preserved, unpopulated national parks of Swedish Lapland with the magnificent natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights sparkling above.
Whenever you take Swedish holidays, the warm people, thriving urban delights (including the magical capital, Stockholm), bountiful historical sites and awe-inspiring landscapes offer endless opportunities whatever the make up of your travelling party, from those travelling alone to family groups looking for adventure, Adventure Company organised tours have something for everyone.

We tried to reach out to Warner Brothers to see if they could shed any light on the topic but they didn't answer. Not even with a vague answer like, "no plans as of yet". Whether or not they are considering a Vita port of Injustice: Gods Among Us should, in no way, be such a big deal--definitely not a question they should be avoiding. Mortal Kombat absolutely broke through on the handheld gaming device, it wouldn't make any sense if they didn't bring Injustice: Gods Among Us to the Vita, as well. But the silence on the matter is getting us a little worried. Could it be that Warner Brothers are just not that invested in Sony's handheld gaming device?
We doubt it. We believe that the Injustice Vita port is inevitable. Maybe Warner Brothers are just too busy with other things right now to be able to confirm that the Vita version is also on its way. It would, however, be nice of Warner Brothers to at least give us a small gesture like a wink to keep us hoping and looking forward to the Vita port.

Team Ratings
G. Munúa
Could do little to keep out Ronaldo's effort and was rarely tested again for the first-half. He was fortunate Ramos did not capitalize on his spill on the hour mark but he kept his side level, for a while, with a fantastic penalty stop from Alonso.
Pedro López
Had a fairly routine first-half as Madrid failed to threaten down the wings. He was completely outplayed by Di Maria and Callejon's interplay in the second-half and allowed them in behind time and again.
A stout defensive display from the tough Levante defender. He was uncompromising at the back and made some fierce challenges. However, his poor header offered Ronaldo the chance to net the opener, and the Portuguese obliged.
Failed to connect with a glorious chance in the fifth minute which would have had serious ramifications on the game. He could not get forward to support the attacks and was beaten too many times down the line.
David Navarro
Caught Ronaldo early on with a nasty elbow and seemed lost in defense. He failed to stay tight to Ballesteros and allowed players past him with ease. His late challenge offered Madrid a penalty and he was fortunate that Alonso did not convert.
Should really have put his side ahead early on but he failed to keep his effort down from 10 yards out. He continued to look for the ball and was only denied an exquisite second-half goal by a brilliant save from Casillas.
P. Diop
Was very strong in the midfield and made some very robust, but fair, tackles. He was unable to supply the ball to forwards, instead opting to fire it long. He kept his team in the game on the hour mark with a goal-line stop to keep out Ramos' effort.
N. El Zhar
Rarely got a chance to run at Coentrao in the awful conditions. He grew frustrated and earned himself a booking for a show of petulance. He had no more luck in the second-half.
Iborra showed admirable determination to disrupt the play of Madird in midfield. However, he did concede some needless free kicks in dangerous areas which only served to cause his side more trouble.
A competent display in the hole behind the striker. Barkero used the ball well, supplying a great pass into Martins which the Nigerian flicked on for Angel's goal. He perhaps could have created more chances though.
O. Martins
Caused a real nuisance as Levante had Madrid on the back foot for a brief spell at the start of the game. The service soon dried up but the Nigerian stayed positive and made a delightful goal for Angel.
Real Madrid
Lacked communication with his defenders at the start but more than atoned for that with some absolutely brilliant saves at the start of the second-half. Had it not been for his stop from Juanlu, it could have been a very different game.
Looked very hesitant and unsure in the early exchanges but soon adapted to the conditions. He saw a header come back off the bar early in the first-half but was out-muscled by Angel for Levante's equalizer.
Sergio Ramos
Was dominant in the air and made sure that he was first to any ball towards his defense. He kept a close eye on Martins throughout, limiting his effect for the most part, and was only denied a goal by a mixture of Diop and the bar.
Fábio Coentrão
The left back kept El Zhar under wraps for the first-half and continued his impressive display in the second period. He did not let a single thing past him and the Blancos faithful will be grateful for his return.
A relatively quiet night for the full back. He could not get forward as much as he usually does but was faced with very little down his flank. A simple evening was cut short as he made way for Kaka.
M. Essien
Gave a good account of himself in the middle with some very strong tackles. He also looked to get forward and support the attackers and was unlucky to see the ball get stuck under his feet when in some great areas.
Xabi Alonso
Sent in a great delivery in the build up to Ronaldo's strike and regularly looked to pick out the wide men with some long passes. Should have scored from the spot but did supply another great cross for Morata's winner.
M. Özil
Did try to link up the play with some quick passing but it was ultimately wasted on the sodden pitch. His craft was worth almost nothing as both sides resorted to sending the ball long, though his pass set Callejon free ahead of the penalty.
Á. di María
The Argentine was unable to utilize his typically brilliant dribbling as the ball was repeatedly held up by standing water on the pitch. It limited his effectiveness in the wide areas throughout.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Made sure to test Munua early on with a decent effort but was forced off soon after following an horrific elbow to the eye. Recovered well and managed to get on the scoresheet with a very intelligent finish before being substituted at halftime.
José Callejón
Did well to draw a number of fouls for his team, enabling them to test the Levante defense from set plays. He did not stop running for his side and won them a penalty in the closing stages.
Was brought on for Ronaldo at halftime in order to tighten things up but had the opposite effect. He failed to close down Juanlu almost immediately and offered the forward another chance late on with an awful error.
Came on for Arbeloa in the 70th minute and got Madrid playing football again. He was eager to get on the ball and helped it move forward and win the game.
Álvaro Morata
Replaced Ozil in the 83rd minute but rescued his team from falling further behind Barcelona with his first touch. A brilliant header was his first goal for the club, and a potentially crucial one.

How do we save African elephants from extinction?
African elephants are being slaughtered for their ivory as a surprising consequences of the rise of Asian economies. Symbolic of wealth and prestige, ivory was once only affordable for a few. Now with hundreds of millions of newly rich people in Asia, demand has outstripped supply and elephants are being killed at a rate that will drive them to extinction in less than 15 years.
African governments are unable to stop the poaching - the price of ivory is driving impunity, corruption and is now under control of criminal cartels.
How do we stop this? What will it take to reverse this trend? Do we need to change cultures? Appealing for compassion in China, Thailand, Philippines? Is it about law enforcement?
We need some bright ideas from TEDsters who love African animals and who know how to cause change in Asia

Mar 6 2013: McCrea-Steele said IFAW has advised Google on illicit trading, as well as China's Alibaba Group, which runs the popular e-commerce platform Taobao. She said both were "very responsive" and had taken action to stamp out illicit activities.
IFAW has also worked with eBay, which it once called "one of the main channels through which trafficking in wildlife and wildlife products are conducted online." The company imposed its own voluntary ban in 2007 after IFAW persuaded them that ivory was indeed being trafficked with the help of their site.
"They've cleaned up, that's sure," said Adrian Hiel, an IFAW official attending the CITES conference in the Thai capital. "But there are so many ads that come out every day, you have to be vigilant. You have to keep checking."
Even now, concerned Internet shoppers still allege ivory is being sold on eBay. One called attention to a carving of a rural Asian village scene selling for $1,000 that is labeled as "Fine Chinese Ox Bone." The item is advertised by a seller in Los Angeles with the note, "Ships to: Worldwide."
Hiel said it can be tough, based on photos alone, to determine whether such products are really elephant tusks. You can always make an educated guess based on where the object is being sold and how much it goes for. But "unless you buy it and examine it, it's hard to tell for sure what's legal and what's not."
"Our argument is that the onus should be on the seller to prove the legality of what they're selling," Hiel said. "Because law enforcement can't go around ordering stuff of eBay just to test the legality of it."
Dan Ashe, director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said that when elephant poaching last reached crisis levels several decades ago, web-based trafficking was not something anybody had to consider.
Now, "Internet-based crime is an important aspect of control," he said. "It makes it much more difficult, but we have to deal with it."

Online Marketing Blog Roundup
38 Things You Could Do With the Time You Spend on Facebook
Nielsen reported this week that Facebook is now officially the web's biggest time suck (or time sink, if you prefer), with the average American user clocking in at over seven hours of Facebook use per month – which doesn't sound all that shocking compared to how much TV the average American watches: 153 hours per month, and that's just at home, not counting sports bars, the Internet and so on. Holy crap, people, turn off the TV – you're probably missing something on Facebook!
Nonetheless, it's a lot compared to other online activities – seven hours per month is more time than we spend on Google, Yahoo, Bing, YouTube, Amazon and Wikipedia combined. (Holy crap, people, turn off Facebook, you might be missing something on YouTube!)
Occasionally we all make bad choices when it comes to how we spend our time. So I present to you a list of 38 alternative activities you could do in the time you spend on Facebook.
- Get an extra night's worth of sleep
- Write an extra week's worth of blog posts (or guest posts)
- Attend a one-day conference, seven webinars or 14 product demos
- Take a seven-week class (dance lessons? Learn PHP?)
- Respond to 84 unanswered emails (five minutes per email)
- Make your own lunch to bring to work every day
- Apply to three grants or 14 jobs
- Buy an external hard drive and back up all your files
- Read to your kid for 15 minutes a day (or watch half an episode of Sesame Street with them)
- Write in a journal for 15 minutes a day
- Add a chapter to your novel
- Run a marathon (or three)
- Bike 70 miles
- Ski 420 miles (if you're Lindsay Vonn)
- Do the Denise Austin: Boot Camp Total Body Blast! workout eight times
- Climb Mount Whitney
- Hike down the Grand Canyon
- Get seven massages
- Meditate for 20 minutes four times per week
- Floss 200 times (6 times per day!)
- Clean out your closets/basement/attic; donate your rejects
- Go to the dentist, see your doctor, wash your car, get a tune-up and rotate your tires, flip your mattress, pay all your bills on time, and send someone flowers (it's probably their birthday)
- Paint a room
- Read a 400-page book (averaging a minute or so per page)
- See a play, a concert and an opera
- Watch the entire Cremaster Cycle, with time for a couple of bathroom breaks
- Process three drinks
- Watch 140 YouTube videos
- Read 168 Wikipedia "articles"
- Drive from Boston to Washington, DC, or Paris to Munich (no bathroom breaks, sorry)
- Fly from New York to LA or London
- Cook two 12-pound stuffed turkeys in a row
- Make your own yogurt
- Make a batch of Jell-O shots
- Play two rounds of golf, one game of Risk, three games of Monopoly, or nine games of Clue
- Beat Halo 3, KillZone 2, Secret of Monkey Island, Sonic & the Secret Rings, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, or Wolfenstein
- Solve 2,530 Rubik's cubes (assuming you're really good at this)
- Volunteer
And if you'd really rather spend your time on Facebook, consider becoming a fan of WordStream? :)
This Week's Web Marketing Highlights
- PPC Blog's Giovanna offers a seriously in-depth resource for aspiring or struggling affiliates: The Ultimate Guide to PPC Affiliate Marketing, with step-by-step tips on developing a sound knowledge of PPC technique, achieving deep market knowledge and more.
- Megan Leap offers 10 goals for PPC landing pages. Sales are great, but other conversions are worth measuring too, including up-sells and cross-sells, video views, RSS subscribers and social engagement.
- Andrew Goodwird offers some reflections on Brian Eisenberg's keynote and presentation at SES London, both of which focused on conversion optimization. He shares some of Brian's tips and case studies, for example: "Figleaves improved their conversion rate by more than 35% by adding reviews to their website."
- Johnathon Williams, who I know through the poetry world, created a cool bookmarklet called Tweedact, which you can use to filter unwanted topics from your tweet stream. (The tagline is, "Your friends are fascinating. Until they're not.") This seems so obviously useful I can't believe no one thought of it before. You can read a longer write-up on ProfHacker.
- From The Network Thinker, an interesting post on the surprising value of redundancy when it comes to spreading influence with a network.
- Glen Allsop (ViperChill) muses on blog post length. As I've mentioned before, successful blog posts are often longer than you'd think (over 1,000 words); Glen also looks at how post length differs by industry (gadgets and gossip blogs have the shortest posts on average, with marketing, personal development and finance blogs tending toward 1000-word-plus posts).
Have a great weekend!

I love the creativity that went in to this! And that's only if you are on Facebook seven hours a MONTH! I've recently decided that I'd had it with Facebook altogether. Hope it's okay if I post a link to your site on my blog. Now that I'm off, there's actually quite a few things on this list I would love to do!

Thermally enhanced pre-applied underfills for 3DIC: a closer look
One of the biggest challenges for future high-performance 3DIC is heat removal from the stacked dies. In a recent presentation at the 2013 IEEE ECTC IBM Japan and Sumitomo 3M gave a presentation examining the use of thermally enhanced pre-applied underfills to address these issues. iMicronews thinks that these new materials are the first reported results of the public announcement in 2011 that IBM and 3M were working to develop thermally enhanced underfills so that they could build 3DIC chip stacks. iMicronews thought it was worth A Closer Look .
3D devices create higher heat densities due to their small sizes. A challenge for future 3D devices is to accelerate heat transfer within chip stacks. One proposed approach to cool the stacks is improving the thermal conductivity of the underfills used between the dies. Since the standard silica filled capillary type underfills (CU) have poor thermal conductivity (TC), IBM Japan and Sumitomo / 3M (the IBM team) decided to examine the use of better thermally conductive fillers in thermally enhanced underfills.
The high-filler-loadings required for higher TC underfills result in high viscosities which are incompatible with standard capillary underfills and would not work well for 3D devices with narrow gaps and multi-stacked dies. The IBM team therefore focused on pre-applied type thermal conductive underfills.
Wafer-level underfill (WLUF) materials were prepared as: (a) spin coat materials; (b) film-type materials that can be laminated onto a wafer and (c) solvent free hot melt materials, all with the same filler loading. The hot melt type underfills showed the lowest viscosity at process temperatures of 100 – 150 ◦C. They report that "In general, low-viscosity pre-applied underfills result in better solder joints". The new materials had thermal conductivity of 1.1 W/mK vs the standard capillary underfill with thermal conductivity of 0.4 W/mk. The new pre-applied thermally enhanced underfills containing unidentified higher thermally conductive fillers were also self fluxing to insure good solder joint formation.
Initial results indicat that "the new thermally enhanced, hot melt underfills appeared less reliable than the industry's standard silica-base underfills" but the IBM team indicates that " reliability of the materials can be improved by optimizing the material formula" . Although noting that their high TC pre-applied type underfills tend to trap voids, they also noted that "the Stack Joining process" with a pressure cure step could eliminate the voids in the multi-die stack modules".
Stack joining process
IBM "Stack Joining Process"
In the assembly process, the thermal underfill was applied to each 10-mm die and the dies were aligned sequentially on the silicon substrate at 100°C using a flip chip bonder. At this point, the lead-free solder capped on the Cu pillar is still unmelted. Then, a high temperature (250°C) was applied to form the solder joints. Next the stacked silicon chip was bonded to the laminate using an adhesive with 50µm glass spacers to set the appropriate gap between the silicon substrate and the laminate. Capillary underfill was used to fill the bottom gap, and then cured at 150°C.
IBM test Structure: 4 die stack on interposer on laminate substrate
While this initial data shows promise, this new technology appears to have a ways to go before we can expect commercialization.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A Madison woman charged with leaving her elderly sister to die will appear in court again.
Prosecutors charged 72-year-old Veronica King with leaving her 72-year-old sister, Mary Coleman, on the floor to die after Coleman fell in King's house in May 2009. They've also accused her of withdrawing about $6,400 from the sisters' shared bank account that summer. King faces a number of charges, including first-degree reckless homicide and fraud.
Dane County Circuit Judge Julie Genovese has scheduled a competency hearing for King on Friday.
Prosecutors charged King's son, Steven King, in Coleman's death as well after investigators said he told them he watched TV while Coleman lay on the floor. Genovese ruled in October he wasn't competent to stand trial.
