The CBSO is very grateful for the help it receives from a network of volunteers within the community. Perhaps you would like to get more involved with the CBSO's activites, or help others to enjoy the CBSO's music as much as you do?
There are a number of opportunities to volunteer with the CBSO:
CBSO Centre Stewards
The CBSO's rehearsal and administration home, CBSO Centre hosts a varied programme of around 80 public events for all ages every year, and the volunteer stewards play a vital part at these performances. As a steward you benefit from hearing many of these performances from within the hall and being part of a friendly venue team. To find out more or express your interest, please email Niki Longhurst, CBSO Centre Manager, or call her on 0121 616 6532.
Become an Ambassador for
CBSO concerts
If you have a passion for the CBSO's music, then you can help others to share this joy by becoming an ambassador for CBSO concerts. Life sometimes gets in the way of planning for those things we mean to do, and our ambassadors simply help others to book inspirational concerts into their diaries. Many CBSO ambassadors operate within their workplace, but you can become a CBSO ambassador for any network of people you know. The benefits for groups of 11 or more include (among others) 20% off tickets and 1 free ticket for the organiser. Find out more by contacting Sebastian Huckle, Marketing Officer, or call him on 0121 616 6544.
Feedback from concert-goers who've attended recently with an ambassador.
"Sounds like a great way to spend a evening – count me in"
"What a great idea. We used to have annual subscription and have meant to get back to it."
Youth Chorus Chaperones
The CBSO's four choruses for young people could not operate without the help from the Youth Chorus Chaperones. These volunteers are carefully-screened adults who help the CBSO's Chorus department with responsibilities for the welfare of the young singers at rehearsals and performances. To find out more about chaperoning, please contact Mike Flower, Chorus Manager, or call him on 0121 616 6509.
Spread the word
Some of the CBSO's keenest concert-goers pop into CBSO Centre during the week (9am-6pm), or to the CBSO desk at Symphony Hall on concert nights, and pick up leaflets to distribute within their community. We organise leaflet display through a number of specialist distribution companies, but they can't get everywhere! So if you know somewhere near you where you think CBSO leaflets should be displayed, just come and see us to pick some up.
Work experience
The CBSO is currently unable to offer Work Experience places in the office due to a re-design of the programme however get a hands on experience of being part of the CBSO by joining one of our projects, joining Young Voices or auditioning for either the Children's Chorus, Youth Chorus or Youth Orchestra. This will give you an experience of being part of creating music for an audience from the start of the rehearsals to the stage alongside some of the worlds greatest musicians. Please get in touch with us if you'd like any advice about what might work for you email@example.com.
For over 18's please look out for details of our internship opportunities.

As the fast-food giant looks to expand internationally, its supply chain will become more difficult to manage.
In fact, the sound fundamentals of the company might have fueled unreal optimism and overheated the stock. Skeptics who thought the company would struggle during a recession were proved wrong as McDonald's and several other restaurant stocks, including Yum! Brands (YUM), Starbucks (SBUX) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), all significantly outperformed the broader indices.
However, there are certain factors that need to be accounted for that could potentially stymie growth in the medium term.
McDonald's plans to spend a hefty $2.9 billion this year on capital expenditure -- topping its 2011 expenditure of $2.6 billion -- to open 1,325 new outlets and revamp the existing ones. In China, the company opened 200 new restaurants in 2011 and will increase its investment by 50% in the country this year.
Globally, more than 80% of McDonald's restaurants are franchised but in China, only 6 of its 1,400 outlets are franchised -- the rest are company-operated. It is difficult to franchise restaurants in developing countries like China due to lack of big franchisee players who can match the stature of McDonald's, as well as an unreliable legal system that often favors local companies. Thus, the majority of the new outlets in China in the coming years will be company-operated. Since company-operated restaurants require much greater initial investment than franchised restaurants, McDonald's high capital expenditure is not limited to just 2012.
With company-operated restaurants, McDonald's will be exposed to rising real estate and labor prices. Franchised restaurants are relatively insulated from such fluctuations. The company will also have to deal with supply chain and quality issues. Generally, developing countries have a higher rate of inflation than advanced economies, which can put a downward pressure on the EBITDA margins.
McDonald's is also trying to improve its image by refurbishing and introducing more comfortable seating in its existing restaurants in the U.S. In addition, the company will roll out its much anticipated McTV this year. All of these expenses are not one time investments as maintaining them will require greater cash flow in the coming years.
Recently, McDonald's was the target of a San Francisco City law that required fast food companies to meet certain nutritional standards before they could use promotions with free toys. The U.S. Congress is also contemplating passing a law that would limit the classes of antibiotics used in animal agriculture. In fact, a recent study revealed that a whopping 75% of Americans want legislation passed to restrict the use of antibiotics at animal farms.
With increased healthcare under the Federal government, it wouldn't be surprising to see new laws aimed at fast food companies that are viewed as contributing to obesity and related diseases. At the same time, companies meeting certain nutritional standards might get tax benefits.
The last few years have also seen consumers turning to healthier products. All these factors might force McDonald's to change its basic structure. And structural changes could be potentially damaging as they might include introducing new products that may not be as popular or profitable.
Moreover, as McDonald's expands its food selection domestically and looks to expand internationally, its supply chain will become more difficult to manage. It could be more prone to shocks -- like inflation or shortages -- that would be hard to offset among value-oriented customers domestically and price-sensitive developing markets internationally.
We have a $95 price estimate for McDonald's, which is about 5% lower than the current market price.

The time is NOW for people to stand up and say 'No More Assault Weapons" and not wait for the government to legislate the change.
Change starts when people change, not when governments legislate change. Think back to the days when driving drunk was socially acceptable, no matter who died in the process. Then Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) formed. The rest is history.
The time is 'now o'clock'. We will change our resopnse to violence and stop purchasing violence video games as gifts for our children, and stop patronizing films that promote violence, mayhem and murder. Glorifying the horrific has become the norm.
What happened in Newtown, CT should never happen again.
Remember Mahatma Ghandi's words: "Be the change you want to see in the world". The time is now o'clock!

greg yDec 23 2012: I like your idea that we the people need to initiate the change in our own lives irrespective of government action. The question is what actions will stop the violence? I think it will take many too because there is no single cause.
Many people are advocating banning assault rifles or high capacity magazines. The proposals are missing the point. It only takes one bullet to kill and one death is a death too many. I read that in the last week over 100 people have died from gunshots since Newtown. Newtown was a tragedy, but I believe the real tragedy is violence everywhere.
Assault weapons are not the problem. Most of those 100+ deaths in the last week were not at the hands of assault rifles. Most didn't even use the full magazine of ammunition because they didn't need to. I have a gun in my house. It's locked in a safe unloaded. No one will ever use my gun to commit violence because it is always locked in my safe unless being cleaned or taken to the range to shoot. It could be a machine gun, it doesn't matter, it still won't be used for violence. I won't use it for violence because I don't express my anger through violence, I use words calmly, its more effective. That gun won't be used for violence unless my life or loved ones are threatened.
What should we do? What are the causes of violence in our culture? Is it desensitization to violence. Is it poor impulse control? Is it a lack of empathy? Is it mental illness? Is it poor communication skills? Is it deep in the threads of our culture (I think of the trivial nature of sitcoms and reality TV, the sensationalism of news, the lost art of conversation, the holes in our hearts for inner peace and fulfillment)? Is it greed? Is it selfishness? How do we stop the violence? Most of it is committed against people we know too. Why do we hurt those we know and love?

State records show that Georgia lawmakers have been given thousands of dollars in tickets so they could watch football games, pro wrestling matches and monster truck races from a luxury box.
A review of lobbying records by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/SIw3P1) found that the Georgia World Congress Center gave away the tickets, and that some of the recipients are on a little-known legislative committee that oversees the state authority.
The Georgia World Congress Center is seeking to boost its borrowing limit as part of a deal to build a $1 billion retractable-roof stadium for the Atlanta Falcons.
Republican state Rep. Jimmy Pruett of Eastman, a member of the committee overseeing the World Congress Center, said a ticket to a Falcons game "does not affect my opinion one way or another."

24 hour/3-day work week with $30.00 minimum wage starting in 2013. Solve multiple social and individual problems with this.
Current worker productivity justifies the 3-day/24-hour work week.
Fairness, increased productivity, happiness, health, family values and many more positive human and societal values will be achieved if this is implemented in 2013.

Kris RosvoldFeb 13 2013: Nice setup from a corporate apologist. The fact of the matter is that while employee productivity is up some 40% and corporate profits are up over 150% (and corporate taxes are down some 25%) in the last 40 years...real wages FELL 15%. In other words the people who are making all that $$$$ for the corporations are getting screwed out of the increases in pay the corporations implied (40 years ago) would be coming with the productivity increases that the corporations wanted.
We are Not "broke" we are being ROBBED, with the collusion of Congress!

Stop by for
a Fill-Up of the latest Phantoms chat and other
fun stuff with radio broadcaster Bob Rotruck.
Nov 4, 2013 - Now We Know / Penalty Kill
Saturday's win against Albany I think was the
best game of the season for the Phantoms so far.
I will be curious to find out if Terry Murray
agrees but I would be surprised if he didn't.
Adirondack was dominating. And playing their game.
After two periods it was 3-0 with the shots at
27-13. Albany had a couple big chances including
a Reid Boucher clean breakaway on a turnover at
the Phantoms' line. But overall, I think that
game as well as the week in general gives us an
early sense of how good this team truly is. A
couple of the other wins in this streak, Adirondack
has been barely hanging on through some tricky
stretches. Binghamton is a good team. And Cal
Heeter standing on his head and denying pretty
much everything was the big key for a couple of
Adirondack's wins even when they were outplayed
for stretches.
Before this four-game win streak, it was a bit
tricky to tell how good they were...or should
be. Sometimes playing well, sometimes not, and
through all of it not able to buy a win. But there
was no doubt that the potential for something
really good was there. Jason Akeson wasn't going
to go the whole season in a slump and Chris VandeVelde
wasn't going to get denied over and over on point-blank
opportunities. The goaltending wasn't going to
have an .870 save percentage for the whole year.
It just didn't make sense to take some of these
aspects and think they were all going to continue.
It's also helpful to have the quality goaltending
now. Yann Danis had a save percentage of .870
before his win on Saturday. And Cal Heeter's numbers
were about the same before his tremendous week
of 98 saves on 101 shots for a .971 percentage.
Two goalies with .870 percentages just aren't
going to get you many wins and both guys are easily
better than that. We're seeing that now as well.
-- Adirondack's four-game win streak is their
longest since Febraury 25 through March 3 of 2012.
It is the fifth time the Adirondack Phantoms have
won four straight. The last time the Phantoms
have won five in a row was March 28 through April
5 of 2009 when the Philadelphia Phantoms won six
straight and also had an eight-game point streak
-- Adirondack's penalty kill has been tremendous.
And the way they get through the opposing power
plays has almost been "boring" more
often than not (but in a good way). There are
the occasional diving blocks and big scrambling
goalie saves in there in typical "exciting"
penalty-kill fashion. But those are only every
once in awhile. Typically, it's been the other
team trying to establish themselves in the zone
and pretty much never being able to do it.
Adirondack either blocks them at the line (the
littlest tip to disrupt things and you're going
to hear that offside whistle)...or the Phantoms
get to the puck first on the end-boards or in
the corner and smoothly and casually launches
it all the way out of there. Again and again.
It's amazing how many penalty kills we have seen
lately where they have not surrendered a single
As Cal Heeter mentioned earlier in the week,
"I think our penalty kill has been our best
aspect by far." Definitely.
The Phantoms have held their opponents to 1-for-26
in the last 6 games and are at 88.0% on the season
(6-for-50) for 3rd in the league out of 30. Adirondack
trails only Norfolk (90%) and Texas (88.5%) in
the PK.
Here's a super-crazy stat for you.
Adirondack's penalty-kill at home: 100%.
Yup. Perfecto. Unblemished. Opponents are 0-for-25
at the GFCC. The Phantoms are the only team with
a perfect PK mark at home. Maybe the opponents
should take the hint and ask if they are allowed
to decline their man-advantage.
Early in the eason, Adirondack had allowed two
power play goals TWICE in their first four games.
After the second time it happened, a 4-1 loss
at Albany on Monday, October 14, that was a fact
that had not slipped past Rob Bordson. He pointed
that out in his postgame interview and said simply,
"That's unacceptable." He was taking
it personally. When a team has an extra man they
ARE actually supposed to score every once in awhile.
But "Bordo" (and the others) take great
pride in their penalty-kill work and have used
that slow start as their inspiration to now be
among the best in the AHL.
Penalty kills take communication and coordination
and trust in each other. It can't just be four
guys doing their own thing and chasing the puck
and trying to block shots. The support has to
be there if one guy is going for it in the corner
when he sees a quick chance. I think the succcess
we are seeing on the PK's comes partly due to
the players' familiarity with each other. Rob
Bordson, Oliver Lauridsen, Cullen Eddy and Brandon
Manning are in their third season killing these
things together. Jason Akeson joined the PK midway
through last season (or perhaps a little later)
and Bruno Gervais and Matt Mangene are getting
valuable minutes too. But when you have a mian
group that has that famliarity with each other
for multiple seasons that makes a big difference.
That's all for now. Some thoughts on Kris Newbury
and three-in-three's (our first of the year is
this weekend!) are on the way.

October 20, 2013 - Various Tidbits
Bourdon Article, Akeson Feature, Thoughts
on Last Weekend, FitzGerald Fight-Card
-- Nice article by Dave Isaac in Philadelphia
about Marc-Andre Bourdon's efforts to recover
from his concussion issues. Rooting hard for MAB
to make it back. His last game was November 30,
2012 with the Phantoms. He's a good guy who works
hard and it would be a pleasure to get to broadcast
his return game. In October, 2009 he was the youngest
player on the debut version of the Adirondack
Phantoms at just 20 years old. Now in his fifth
pro season, we are left hoping that he isn't forced
to retire. Unfortunately, it is a very real possibility.
-- Another nice article, this one by Alyssa Dombrowski
of the AHL. A special feature for NHL.com on Jason
Akeson. Some good quotes in there from Akeson
referencing Terry Murray's efforts to improve
his skating and defense and make him a more complete
player. And from Terry about the strides Akeson
has made. Click
-- Now back to the team. Obviously a 1-3-2 start
is not the ideal beginning for the Phantoms nor
is it one that anyone expected. This is a good
team. In Terry's words, a better team than last
year. I agree. Although it didn't look like it
last Friday at Wilkes-Barre in a 6-3 loss to an
exceptionally fast Penguins squad. But we got
back to the positives and playing "the right
way" (as I have heard Terry say perhaps 100+
times) the very next night against Springfield.
Nobody is happy with the 3-2 shootout loss to
the Falcons. But everyone could see that the Phantoms
played a very good overall game against a Springfield
team that is one of the best in the AHL and is
one of only two teams left with perfect records
at 5-0-0 (the Penguins are the other).
I talked with assistant coach Riley Cote for
the pregame interview and he could not emphasize
enough how much they were trying to implore on
the boys to keep it simple, get it in deep, stop
getting overly cute trying to make plays that
aren't really there. It was the mistakes and somewhat
self-inflicted wounds that were so costly in the
game against Wilkes. The Penguins deserve credit
for jumping on the opportunities handed to them
(and/or partly forced by them) but Adirondack
got away from what they need to do and that needed
to change.
24 hours later, that's what we saw Saturday against
Springfield. Making smarter plays in terms of
getting it in deep when that was the best idea,
going after the puck and playing stronger on the
boards, and getting better line changes too I
thought. It was nice to see even though the W
still didn't come. But playing "the right
way" is what it's going to take. And there
was no more talk of "unacceptable" in
the locker-room after that one like we were hearing
after the previous couple of setbacks where the
team clearly wasn't playing up to their abilities.
If they keep playing like that, the wins will
be there.
A couple of the quotes I did hear sounded like
they were coming from a somewhat deflated group
of players. They played a terrific game and did
not get the win. And losing a 2-0 lead against
an unbeaten definitely stings. But you don't want
a team of guys entirely satisfied that they "mostly
played well even though they lost." I expect
an especially motivated group this week during
practice looking to carry over the positives of
their Saturday game and expand on them.
-- Nick Cousins is really coming into his own.
Last year when he joined us for the last couple
weeks, I felt he wasn't entirely comfortable and
was still getting the feel for the pro game a
bit. He seems very comfortable out there now.
Making smart plays. And showing off his creative
abilities at more of the right times. And he has
his first two career professional goals as a result.
Getting stronger on the faceoffs too. He very
much appears to be on his way I think.
-- Phantoms Power Hour Radio Show is LIVE this
year at Recovery Sports Grill in Queensbury. Tuesday,
October 29 at 7:00 PM is our debut show with the
ever-popular Zack FitzGerald and Tyler Brown.
Those two are pretty good buds. I told Tyler I
would let him on the show as long as those guys
made fun of each other. Tyler confirmed that "oh
yeah, it will definitely be on!" Sounds good
to me. It's also my birthday so come on out and
enjoy the show. Zack and Tyler might sing happy
birthday to me...which may frighten everyone and
get them to turn their radios OFF all at once.
Might not be the best thing for the show. But
we're doing it anyway!
-- Speaking of Fitzy, he has taken over the league
lead in penalty minutes with 46 in just 5 games
played this year...barely ahead of Zack Stortini
of Norfolk who has 43 and had 241 last season
with Hamilton. And the Phantoms play Norfolk this
Friday of course! FitzGerald has four fights.
Stortini has five (including a couple fights October
6 with 6'8" Bridgeport D-Man Joe Finley,
a former Caps first-rounder).
All four of Fitzy's fights have been on the road.
Time for a GFCC Fitzy bout! Not like Fitzy wasn't
TRYING to get his fifth fight....especially in
Saturday's game. Ftizy and Derek Mathers were
chasing Riley Grantham of Springfield all around
the ice in the second period in an almost SlapShot-reminiscent
sequence practically begging him to fight (from
what I could tell). Grantham had jumped Ben Holmstrom
a period earlier and the Phantoms didn't take
too kindly to that. But apparently Grantham just
wasn't interested apparently in actually squaring
off in a more proper fight with either Fitzy or

September 27, 2013 - Transactions Happen
The more things change, the more confusing they
get. Oliver Lauridsen and Michael Raffl both being
assigned to the Phantoms today now pushes the
team's training camp roster to 34 players. Who
stays? Who goes? Terry Murray indicates that the
tryout and ECHL contract guys are indeed getting
a genuine look here to see what they have. But
there just isn't much room to keep guys really.
We'll see.
Opening Night roster isn't exactly the end-all-be-all
either. I think that's worth remembering. The
roster will likely look somewhat different by
January and even more different again by April.
Injuries happen...both here and in Philadelphia.
And either will obviously impact the Phantoms.
Somebody sent down to Greenville of the ECHL now
can still leave on good terms having made a positive
impression here...and then find himself right
back with us in a month when the need arises.
I looked at the transaction history for last
year...which is a bit lighter than other seasons
because of the NHL Lockout. When the lockout was
happening there was not a single player who could
be called up to Philly obviously...and the only
guys who were sent down from Philadelphia were
the players who were eligible to do so before
the season started. The hope is that you don't
need to make so many transactions throughout the
season of course. But hockey is a dangerous game.
And as I said before, injuries happen.
But even with the slow start to the transaction
log we racked up 92 total player moves up and
down from Adirondack to Philadelphia and also
down and up to the ECHL (Trenton) in the 2012-13
No, I'm not kidding. NINETY-TWO! Don't believe
me? The full list is below. Happy counting!

September 23, 2013 - Wellwood Update
- Training Camp Opens
Terrific article last week from Windsor, Ontario
on Eric Wellwood and his recovery process.
the article here
I have received many questions from fans asking
how he's doing so there you go. Refresher course:
Wellwood suffered a horrific and potentially life-threatening
injury on April 7 at Bridgeport. As he fell on
his own and slid into the boards his left skate
caught the back of his lower right leg and sliced
a couple tendons including about 70% of his achilles.
I think it's terrific news that he's actually
skating again albeit with much pain according
to him in the article. I'm not sure when I thought
he would actually be able to take to the ice again
but I think getting out there by September is
a nice sign given the severity of his injury.
In the article and accompanying video interview,
he also makes references to "If" he
returns to playing and "If" he is forced
to retire early. That's what a few others have
noticed the most and I guess that's fair. But
let's be real here. He truly may or may not be
able to return and his doctors have almost certainly
told him that and told him he has to be aware
of that possibility. And Eric wants to mentally
prepare himself for that possibility. And he's
had a lot of time just sitting in bed with his
leg immobile with not a lot to do but play video
games and watch TV....and hang out in one's own
The estimate IF he is able to recover is in a
9-12 month range. Well, if it's closer to 12 months
which would mean April 7 then I'm not sure that
is worth it just to return to the team for the
very end of the regular season and potentially
into the playoffs. Similar to Ben Holmstrom with
his knee injury. Holmstrom had the ability to
potentially play for the last weekend or two of
the season. But why push it? Just wait until the
fresh beginning next season. Nice to see Holmstrom
back out there as well by the way.
Anyway, we're all pulling for Wellwood to make
a full recovery and be able to play again. That
will make for a terrific and potentially spine-tingling
moment when he does return to play an actual game.
But I'm also happy to hear that he's having a
fun time in the interim doing the part-time coaching
thing with his former juniors team and that he
is also thinking in terms of how his life will
indeed go on and what he wants to do if playing
isn't going to be in his future.
Training Camp for the Adirondack Phantoms technically
and officially opened on Monday morning. It's
fun for the fans in Glens Falls to have actual
players back in town and skating on the ice. But
for the players themselves this is not quite as
a big of a deal except for the change in venue.
Almost all of these players have been with the
Philadelphia Flyers training camp for the past
couple of weeks. And about 12 of them were getting
going even earlier than that with the Flyers Rookie
Camp that precded regular training camp. So it's
not like the guys haven't been out there or practicing.
They have. But the switch to Glens Falls does
bring us closer to the actual season. And getting
this group together as a team instead of in a
huge group of 63 guys in Philadelphia's camp is
probably helpful also.
Scrimmages Tuesday and Wednesday as part of the
upcoming practices for the Phantoms which will
be fun to watch. 3-on-3 passing drills up and
down the ice aren't quite as entertaining from
a spectator viewpoint in my opinion.
There are six tryout and/or ECHL contract players
attending the camp as well. Don't forget that
Adirondack's ECHL affiliate is in Greenville,
S.C. this year. Their affiliate for the past couple
of seasons was in Trenton, N.J. but that team
suspended operations which left the Flyers in
search of a new affiliate at the lower level.
And they decided to go back to the team they were
affiliated with three seasons ago...before they
hooked up with Trenton. Probably 3 or 4 of the
AHL/NHL contract players with the Phantoms will
be sent to Greenville. Teams just don't have that
many leftover players to send down to the "AA"
level of hockey. In fact, Greenville is also affilited
with the New York Rangers...so 3 or 4 guys who
did not make the Hartford Wolf Pack roster will
also head to Greenville.
It was somewhat similar last season in Trenton
where the New Jersey Devils would send some of
their guys to be teammates with some of the Flyers'
prospects there. Then by the end of the season
we would have a few Adirondack vs. Albany games
that involved players who were teammates just
a few days previously in Trenton. Goaltenders
Cal Heeter of the Phantoms and Scott Wedgewood
of the Albany Devils were teammates with Trenton
at a couple different stretches for example.
Both preseason games this weekend will be broadcast
on the radio on our official flagship station,
Saturday, September 28 vs. the Albany Devils
in Glens Falls. 7:00 game. On the air at 6:40.
Sunday, September 29 at the Utica Comets in Rome,
NY. 4:00 game. On the air at 3:40.
September 19, 2013 - Throwback Thursday!!
Oliver Lauridsen in his first pro fight...against
Zack FitzGerald! On March 22, 2011 in Charlotte,
19, 2013 - Training Camp Update
A few surprises in Wednesday's
decisions from Philadelphia training camp. 24
players sent to Adirondack all at once is not
a surprise. But some of the players that were
and were not included definitely remind us that
this stuff is not so easy to predict.
the story and the full list here.
Jason Akeson and Tye McGinn
both being assigned to Adirondack was what stood
out to me. Akeson has played very well in training
camp this season. Tye McGinn did nicely in his
stints with Philadelphia last year. Now maybe
neither one would have made the opening day roster
for Philly (although I believe many expected that
McGinn would be there). But I think we certainly
anticipated that they would both last through
the first round and join the team on their working-retreat
and team-bonding weekend in Lake Placid...and
then could get assigned to Adirondack after that.
Ultimately, Akeson has still
only played just the one game with Philadelphia
at the end of last season. I have to think he's
close but they likely want to see how things go
for him in the first couple weeks with the Phantoms
and then see where the Flyers stand at that point
as well. The point totals remained high for Akeson
from his rookie season in 2011-12 to his sophmore
campaign last year. But the difference in his
play seems to be closeish to night and day. Getting
in the corner. Getting a bit more physical. Hustling
on defense. Not just a perimeter player anymore.
was surprised when Akeson was assigned
to the ECHL at the beginning of last year. But
the way things turned out for him by the end of
the season getting enough accolades to receive
a call-up and then a game in the NHL by the end
of the year. Well, that ECHL assignment at the
beginning of the year may actually be the best
thing that ever happened to him...although I'm
sure he wouldn't be too quick to agree to that.
For McGinn, I'm not sure where
that decision comes from exactly. Perhaps just
looking straight-up and what they need and how
much they like some of the other players. McGinn
did well in his time with Philadelphia last year
and is clearly a better player than the year before.
But there's always room for improvement. Work
on his speed and his hands with the Phantoms perhaps?
Now staying up with Philadelphia
in their cut down to 32 players was Chris VandeVelde
which I think was a big surprise. He's not even
on an NHL contract. Just an AHL contract. But
he's played 28 NHL games with Edmonton the past
three seasons and has done well with Oklahoma
City in the AHL the rest of the time. I heard
is name quite a bit in the Tuesday preseason televsion
broadcast against the Rangers and also saw his
name tossed around quite a bit on twitter in the
Monday game. Well, he's still there. The Flyers
are hanging onto him for a little while longer.
Good for him. A promising start.
Ben Holmstrom, fully recovered
from his knee injury we presume, is still with
Philadelphia and so are Kris Newbury and goalie
Yann Danis. Anthony San Filippo of philadelphiaflyers.com
reports that there are waiver considerations for
those guys so they can't be assigned to Adirondack
yet. All three should make it here eventually.
Although the veteran Newbury has a fair amount
of NHL experience including six games with the
Rangers last year so he might end up making a
strong'ish push. Yann Danis will be ssent to Adirondack
and will be the third goalie for the Flyers behind
Steve Mason and Ray Emery should either get injured...which
is very possible considering both have had issues
in recent years.
Michael Raffl is a highly
touted prospect from Austria whom the Flyers grabbed
this summer. Raffl received offers from several
NHL teams. There is some talk of him sticking
with the Flyers and keeping a spot which I suppose
is possible. I still have to think he eventually
ends up with the Phantoms on Opening Night simply
because they want to give him that opportunity
to develop his game in the North American style.
He was good in Sweden but didn't even play in
the Swedish Elite League. He was in the Sweden
Minor Leagues. And I agree with a couple other
Philly writers I have read who believe it is just
too big a jump to go from Sweden Minor Leagues
straight to NHL without a step in-between.
Oliver Lauridsen has stuck
with Philadelphia through this first round as
well. Happy for the big guy. Ollie might make
a serious push to stick around...but it's pretty
jammed on the blue-line in Philly so for that
to happen the Flyers may have to ship somebody
else out. If Ollie gives them the confidence to
make that move then it wouldn't be out fo the
realm of possibility.
There are some guys who have
been sent to the Phantoms for training camp who
I would not expect to stick around for Opening
Night. At least a couple guys, probably more,
will be sent to Greenville, SC in the ECHL. Goaltender
Carsen Chubak is one of those I would have to
think. Emery and Mason in the pipes in Philly.
Yann Danis and Cal Heeter to be the goalies in
Adirondack. Chubak out of Niagara University goes
to Greenville to get more reps in his professional
debut season.
First practice for the Phantoms
in Glens Falls is Monday morning. Free and open
to the public so come by and check out the team
if you feel so inclined.
More thoughts on the team
As always, send your questions
to be on twitter @bobrotruck or email email@example.com
I'll answer a few questions
from the fans in my next round. So make them good!

Okay, so it's been a little
while since I updated the blog. For older stories
including my popular interview with Zack FitzGerald
please go to the bottom in "Archives - June-July
So on August 7, the same birthday
as Sidney Crosby of all things, at 9:29 p.m. my
wife and I welcomed our first little bundle of
joy and our newest Phantoms fan, Aurora. Still
feels kind of weird being an actual Dad now but
I'm kind of getting the hang of it.
Aurora and I are both 42 as
I write this. She's at 42 days and I'm a tad more
advanced at 42 years.
Are my wife and I going to hell for mocking our

French President Nicolas Sarkozy's has pushed through some of the world's strictest anti-piracy legislation. With that legislation, three violations or three strikes, and Internet service is cut off for the offender. At least 60 French Internet subscribers are on their last strike now.
Sarkozy's strong opposition to pirated downloads has created an embarrassing situation for the president. It seems someone or some people at his official residence thought there might be a presidential exemption.
No one is accusing Sarkozy of personal involvement in the illegal downloading at Élysée Palace. However, if this was a typical French residence, that wouldn't work as an excuse. One has to have control over one's home, president or not. As TorrentFreak has discovered, a damaging trail leads straight to Sarkozy's residence.
As reported to TorrentFreak this morning by Nicolas Perrier of Nikopik, people using IP addresses allocated to the Élysée Palace (126.96.36.199 – 126.96.36.199) have been very naughty indeed.
According to data from YouHaveDownloaded.com, a range of downloads have been actioned from the Palace including a cam copy of Tower Heist, a telesync copy of Arthur Christmas, and music from The Beach Boys. The latter was actually a lossless FLAC rip, but as one might expect, only the best quality will do for the Palace.
In total six infringing downloads were tracked back to Sarkozy's residence, double the country's three-strike limit.
Contrary to the article's suggestion that this is double the country's three-strike law, this violation would only be a single strike if the President's residence is given a warning. The three strikes do not equate to individual violations but to warnings.
Regardless, things must be a bit red-faced in Élysée Palace.

Installation Instructions
Do not connect your USB MIDI interface or controller to the computer yet! The driver installer should be run first!
1. Download the latest M-Audio driver for Mac OS X from our drivers/updates page.
2. The file you are downloading is in "Disk Image" (extension "dmg") format. This means that once the download is complete, your Mac should automatically launch the file and create a virtual drive on your desktop - you will now see two new icons on the Desktop.
Note: The current MIDI driver version numbers will not match the pictures in this guide, but the process is still the same
Immediately after this, a finder window will automatically open and show you the two icons below:
(If this Window did not open automatically, double-click on the downloaded Disk Image file).
3. If this is the first time you install an M-Audio USB MIDI driver on your system, please skip to step 7 of this guide now. If an M-Audio USB MIDI driver was previously installed on your system, it has to be removed before you can successfully install the new driver. Please double-click "M-Audio USB MIDI Uninstaller" and follow the instructions on screen.
4. When prompted, enter your administrator name and password to continue with the driver removal.
5. Restart your computer to complete the driver removal.
6. After your computer is fully restarted, double-click on the downloaded Disk Image (dmg) file. This will bring you back to the contents of the virtual drive and show you the same two icons (M-Audio USB MIDI Support.pkg/uninstall) displayed above.
7. Double-click the file named "M-Audio USB MIDI Support.pkg" - you should now be looking at the following window:
8. Click "Continue" in the welcome screen of the installation program (see above).
9. The following screen will give important information about the driver you are installing. Click "Continue" after you are done reading this document
10. Select the hard drive you want to install the driver to. A green arrow will appear over the selected hard drive. Then click "Continue".
11. Click "Install" - the driver files will be copied to your computer.
12. You will have to enter your Administrator name and password. Click OK once your done.
13. The installer informs you that the software (driver) was successfully installed. Click "Close".
14. Connect your USB MIDI device to an available USB port on your computer. If you have a Midisport 8x8, also connect the power supply and turn the unit on.
Your M-Audio MIDISPORT USB device is now ready to be used.
15. For Midisport users:
- Connect the MIDISPORT's MIDI input(s) to the MIDI output(s) of your MIDI controller keyboard(s)
- Connect the MIDISPORT's MIDI output(s) to the MIDI input(s) of a sound module, or MIDI keyboard with built in sounds.
Once you have completed the installation procedure above, a new icon is placed in the MIDI section of Audio MIDI Setup (AMS). To verify that the installation succeeded, open AMS by clicking on the "Go" menu (on top of your screen) and select "Utilities". Then locate and double-click "Audio MIDI Setup". Switch to the "MIDI Devices" section*. A new icon with your Midisport's name (e.g. 1x1 or 2x2), or "Keystation" (for Keystation classic devices) should be displayed in light blue color. The blue color indicates that your computer is communicating with the device.
* Note: In OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, users may need to go to the Audio MIDI Setup Menu>Preferences>General Tab, and select to open the MIDI window if the MIDI Devices section doesn't appear.
In the rare case that this icon should appear gray (like the IAC Driver shown above), unplug the USB Cable from the device and plug it back in while your computer is running and/or restart your computer.

While Nevada may appear to the outsider as the last of the Wild West -- a place where anything goes, a local business-owner will tell you otherwise. The state's low tax-rate and easy incorporation laws may make it attractive to entrepreneurs, but that's not because of any shortage of licensing. Nevada's state, county and city governments regulate a multitude of businesses and collect just as many fees. The benefits of the Wild West are available to those who apply.
In Nevada, any business that serves food can endanger public health. That's why restaurants are some of the most regulated businesses out there. Multiple state, county and city environmental health permits are common for restaurants. Those that serve alcohol need even more licensing. Prospective restaurateurs should expect to apply for at least five licenses and permits and in many cases much more.

PORT ST. LUCIE -- Police are looking for help with a recent shooting that involved a Greyhound bus in the early morning of Dec. 30.
Florida Highway Patrol responded to a report of a window reportedly being shot out of the bus while it was traveling on Florida's Turnpike near mile marker 155.
"The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the damage to the bus," said Master Sgt. Frank Sabol, public information officer with the Port St. Lucie Police Department.
On board, the only injury reported was to a 26-year-old Minnesota woman who received a bump on the head, either from the breaking glass or while being startled when the window shattered.
At approximately the same time, officers from the Port St. Lucie Police Department were investigating several calls that came into 911 regarding shooting activity around the 5200 block of N.W. Corporate Way in Port St. Lucie. The location is just east of where the turnpike crosses Midway Road, and is close to where the bus was shot.
At that location, officers found 36 spent shell casings of ammunition used by assault rifles. Police also recovered 22 spent shell casings from a .22 rifles, as well as two live rounds.
"At this time, it is unclear if the shooting activity and the damage to the bus window are connected," said Sgt. Sabol. "The shootings are under investigation by both the Port St. Lucie Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol."
If anyone has any information regarding these two incidents, they are urged to call the Port St. Lucie Police Department at (772) 871-5001 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-8477.

In July i had partial knee meniscectomy(removal) surgery. I have followed the protocal toward recovery and my hopeful return to running. However i have been left with one last nagging symptom. I'm still experiencing slight discomfort in the medial(inside) part of my knee, the area of the surgery, but that has not interferred with my training and excercising program. The problem i'm currently having is a constant clicking and popping on the top of the knee, just above the knee cap. It is'nt painful, more irritating, and leaves me concerned. It started last week while i was cross training with some backward and forward, assisted lunges, that night the clicking was there. I have been working on strengthening the thigh muscles but there is no change. Has anyone experienced this problem before and will it get better? I have been working hard on making sure the knee is tracking good and have been doing knee tracking exercises. Thanks

For some people, sugar is like a drug and kicking the sweet habit is hard. Desserts like cakes, cookies and ice cream can be irresistible because of the effect sugar has on the brain.
"Sugar is a particularly potent releaser of dopamine, and certain combinations with sugar are even more potent," says Dr. Michael Lowe, a psychologist. He says that because sugar affects the "pleasure pathways" much like drugs do, quitting can be almost impossible.
Michael Healy actually enjoyed his sugar addiction until his doctor told him that he was pre-diabetic, among other problems. Now, Healy is in a study that is looking at how to rewire your brain to help you avoid sugar addiction and lose weight.
"It takes months, and maybe a few years, but the majority of people who lose that weight will regain it," says Dr. Lowe.
The best way to avoid sugar is simple: be be aware of what you're eating, and when you're eating it. If you can, avoid sugary foods altogether.
"When you're eating a high-sugar food on an empty stomach, you're not going to stop," says Emily Rubin, a registered dietitian.
For Healy, out of sight, out of mind goes a long way. "Anything I don't want to eat, I hide it or I put it out of my immediate view," he says.
So far, Healy has lost more than 35 pounds.
"I'll be 60 in a month I'm healthier now than I've ever been in my life," he says.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered a Save the Date Sample and an Invitation Sample and both arrived in such a classy, stunning portfolio with examples of paper types and colors and other useful tips and information. Such a beautiful package! I absolutely cannot wait to order these for my Southern lowcountry Wedding next year! I do not need to look any further. These are the first and only samples I have ordered from anywhere and they are BEAUTIFUL. This Company is a Class Act."
"I ordered this design in the textured paper with the bracket stlye cut. The design team was quick and made my desired changes with no problem. They are beautiful,simple and elegant.They were packaged well and arrived a week before the anticipated arrival date."
"My fiancé always said she would never become a bridezilla, but when it comes down to it, everyone woman just wants her dream day to be perfect. I pulled the trigger on ordering these without giving her much time to think about it - and Wedding Paper Divas did not disappoint! The ink was crisp and professional, the colors true to image, and the paper was heavy and well textured. Turnaround time exceeded our expectations by several days. Happy to say that we needed to order more invites!!"
"I love the look of this product - front AND back. Please note that the "preset phrasing" on the invitations can be more customized to what you want; I added into the notes what I wanted (Bride and Grooms name on separate lines, grooms parents name after grooms name, etc) and they revised it to exactly how I wanted it. They even gave me a few different options based on what they thought might look better or less wordy. So keep in mind that just because there are a few templates to use, you can still customize it to exactly how you want it!!!"
"This one really could have worked for us. It was classy and we are having our wedding at a vineyard. However, we decided to go with a more traditional, vintage looking invitation."

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) – Wisconsin is liking its nearly year-old smoke free law more and more.
A new survey from the American Cancer Society finds 75 percent of state residents support the statewide ban on indoor smoking. That's a healthy increase over the 69 percent support it got while the Legislature was debating the ban.
The survey also shows support for the law crosses party lines, with Republicans, Democrats and independents all liking the change.
The same survey found 91 percent of respondents said they go out the same or more often now that bars and restaurants are smoke free.
Governor Scott Walker said last week, while he wasn't in favor of the state imposing the smoke free law, now he'd oppose any efforts to repeal it.

Remove old, out-of-date drivers, automatically updating your system to the latest versions! Quickly troubleshoot hardware compatibility issues, using exclusive driver error scanning!
Why do you have an awkward PC with the problems above?
1: Corrupted or Broken Driver Files
Every device you have in your PC is attached with some original control files. For PC optimization, you will do the cleaning frequently to the disks, and if you are more capable of it, you will take some editing in your Windows registry. The fact that the registry editing is risky because you don't know which file is shared with another program and the registry changes may cause malfunction or freezing.
2: Secretly Intrusions
When you are surfing on the Internet, you are exposed to the aggressive installation secretly running in the background. If any of them has invaded into your PC, your registry will be changed automatically. Over time these intrusions would drive a wedge into Windows registry, the core of your machine. You will not be able to run your PC depending on the outdated system drivers in one day.
3. Integrated drivers added
Occasionally, there is an update notice of device driver and you do it as it suggested. But the rest of them are still the same. Therefore the new and the old would be out of phase. If the machine can just manage to run with difficulty, slow performance and crash will come up in the near future.
CLICK HERE to run a free driver scan now.
Windows XP, 2000 and Vista ready
Windows drivers (known as device drivers) are required for every PC running, which are used between the machine and the programs to control the operation of every device, allowing the operating system direct access to hardware resources. Without proper drivers installed, you can not print out your documents, play music, watch movies or even surf the Internet. However, those drivers that have been installed in your PC will be continuously updated by the manufacturers like any common software. So new versions will be needed to fix bugs, add extra functionality or improve performance of the devices. Without drivers being kept in step with the Internet development, your PC may encounter a series of problems, like buggy and poor to perform devices. What is worse, you will face device malfunction, conflicts and even complete system crashes. Choosing and installing the correct device drivers for given hardware is often a key component of computer system configuration. So the driver management tool to help should be with a large update database and exact downloads.
Drivers are offered to download and install with Driver Checker by rule and line, either as a regular update or as a critical update. The detection process determines whether the new driver is a better match for the device than the already installed driver. Driver Checker allows you to easily detect and update the latest drivers for your entire hardware devices. It can also back up the existing drivers and restore the drivers in case that you needed to reinstall or upgrade your operating system.

Perfection's about the tiny little details. Which is why the artist Dennis Manarchy spent ten years making a gigantic film camera with a lens and film big enough to make eyelashes look like huge, translucent tubes (watch our film below and you'll see what we mean).
He's got his eye on you
Made at his studio in Chicago, Manarchy's giant camera (dubbed 'the Eye of America') is a working prototype that produces two-metre-tall negatives and 12-metre-high portraits. It's part of a touring project that will take the camera on a 32,000 kilometre road trip across the United States, capturing the faces of disappearing and emerging cultures.

The Tasman Highway gently rises and falls through grazing land and bush-covered hills before it hits the coast itself, with its long white beaches and blue water stretching to a cloudless sky. Drier and sunnier than the rest of the state, the east coast is a popular destination in the school holidays – prices go up and accommodation is scarce from Christmas to mid-February. Even so, it remains relatively undeveloped and peaceful, and there are four national parks to escape to, which include a whole island – Maria Island – and an entire peninsula – the glorious Freycinet National Park.Read More
Coles Bay
Coles Bay
Coles Bay, on the north edge of the Freycinet National Park, is the only settlement; a village spread along a sheltered inlet where fishing boats bob before The Hazards, three striking peaks – Amos, Dove and Mayson – that rise from the sea and are especially impressive at sunset when their pink granite glows. Since the 1930s, the village has been the base for the park, for fishing and for recreation, and there are numerous holiday houses for rent.
Freycinet National Park
Freycinet National Park
For Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park (pronounced "fray-zin-ay"), you turn off the Tasman Highway 33km north of Swansea onto the Coles Bay Road. After about 8km, a left-hand turning (3km unsealed) leads to the spectacular unspoilt Friendly Beaches, part of the national park yet relatively quiet.
The national park office, just 1km from Coles Bay, sells maps and booklets on day-walks and has interpretive displays on the park. From here, the gravelled, disabled-access Great Oyster Bay path leads down to the beach (10min return). Opposite the centre, the national-park campsite, with water, toilets and showers, is in a sheltered location among bush and dunes behind Richardsons Beach; it's so popular in holiday season that pitches from mid-December to mid-February and over Easter are allocated by ballot the previous August – entries can be made by July by email via http://www.parks.tas.gov.au.
All walking tracks into the park begin at the Walking Track Car Park, a further 4km from the office. Water is scarce, so carry all you'll need or ask the rangers about safe streams. The shorter walks are well marked: the easy ascent to the lookout over exquisite Wineglass Bay, with its perfect curve of white beach, is where most walkers head. Many continue on down to the beach itself (2.6km return to the lookout, 1–2hr; 5km return to the beach, 2hr 30min–3hr 30min). The 27km peninsula circuit is a wonderful walk (10hr), best done over two days; it makes a good practice run for the big southwest hikes, albeit considerably drier. There's a campsite at Cooks Beach, with a pit toilet, water tank, and a rough hut where you can stay.
Schouten Island, off the tip of the peninsula, is part of the national park, with basic bush campsites at Moreys Bay and Crocketts Bay. Although there are no proper tracks on the island, walking is easy and uncrowded if only because of the difficulty of access to the island. Cruise companies in Coles Bay sail out to the island.
