Popcon - Are You In Or Out?
Those of you who regularly install Debian may have noticed a prompt that asks you if you would like to install Popcon, the Debian Popularity Contest. Popcon gathers statistics about package usage and periodically submits it to Debian. The anonymous statistics gathered by the script are freely available on the Debian website, and the script can be invoked manually to give a clearer idea of package usage on your own system.
I must admit that I had always declined to take part in the survey. Some people will object on privacy grounds, but personally, I trust that Debian aren't going to do anything devious with the info. I had opted out because it sounded like another possible point of failure and didn't actually know what the project did.
If you didn't select it when installing Debian, you can install Popcon at any time via the package manager, and this doesn't hamper the quality of the data. If you're installing it manually, bear in mind that it installation script prompts for user input, so make sure that you can view the text output of your package management system. The information that it is actually gathering is the installation date and most recent access date of every package on your system. By default, Popcon gathers the information and submits it once a week using a cron job.
Once installed, you can invoke it automatically by typing (as root)
You'll receive a long list of all of the packages on your system arranged in order of most recently accessed. Here is a sample of the output when I ran it on my Debian Sid box.
1290877204 1290877209 iptables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-apply OLD
1290877204 1290877339 ed /usr/bin/red OLD
1290877204 1290877401 laptop-detect /usr/sbin/laptop-detect OLD
1290877204 1290877230 libnfsidmap2 /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/static.so OLD
1290877204 1290877414 libruby1.8 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb OLD
1290877204 1290877455 google-gadgets-gst /usr/lib/google-gadgets/modules/gst-audio-framework.so OLD
1290877204 1290877246 tcpd /usr/sbin/tcpd OLD
The first two numbers are the access and the creation time of the most recently accessed file within the library. The time is presented in Unix time format, that is, number of seconds elapsed since midnight January 1970. This is followed by the name of the library and the most recently accessed file in that library. The last piece of information is a tag which indicates if that library is considered old (not accessed for more than a month). There are tags to indicate if the library is recently installed or contains no runnable programs.
Obviously, the output for a typical system is going to be vast. For this reason, if you're invoking it from the command line, either piping to a file or grep is the best approach. For example, piping it to a file with
popularity-contest >popcon.txt
yielded a file that worked fine when dropped onto the Gnumeric spreadsheet application. It's worth noting that Gnumeric has a function convert Unix time into typical date format.
You can obtain the statistics that have been collated from all participating systems via the Debian website. Obviously, these results are tainted by the classic voluntary survey weakness of self selection. Who knows, perhaps people who choose to participate in Popcon are have different usage patterns to people who don't?
Personally, in future, I'm going to enable Popcon on my main system as I'm sure the data is useful to the Debian project. In addition, I've often wondered what stuff is installed on my system yet never actually used.
The Debian Popularity Contest website
The readme file, which gives detailed instruction on how to use Popcon.
The FAQ file which addresses potential concerns that users might have in terms of privacy issues etc.

Peppermint Ice
I use peppermint ice and tried it anyway. it worked. thats wierd
ubuntu popcon?
Is the ubuntu popularity-contest package the same as the debian one? Do they both participate in the same survey (the Debian one) or are they separate. I am kind of assuming that Ubuntu is separate and all Ubuntu derivatives participate in Ubuntu's survey and all (direct) Debian derivatives (except Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives) participate in Debian's. Can you confirm this?
Not sure
I'm not sure because the Ubuntu Popcon website doesn't make it clear and even copies the FAQ and Readme from the Debian site.
My guess is that it's the same piece of software but running on Ubuntu systems rather than Debian systems. This seems to be confirmed because the stats on the Ubuntu site include Ubuntu packages (such as "Ubuntu Sounds") in prominent positions.
Although, as I said, the documentation on the Ubuntu site is not very comprehensive.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Mancini out for win at Madrid
- 17 September 2012 08:32
- Posted by Nicola McCarthy
From the Britannia to the Bernabéu, the focus swiftly shifts from City's gritty weekend draw against Stoke to tomorrow's glitzy clash with Real Madrid.
"Mancini's men swap the Britannia's bacon butty for the finest jamon serrano of the Bernabeu," writes The Independent's Simon Hart.
But despite the obvious size of the task ahead, Roberto Mancini does not want his men be cowed by the prospect of facing the Spanish champions.
"Our mentality is not to go there - to Madrid or anywhere - for a draw, or to lose. We want to win always," the manager told Sky Sports News.
"But we know it will be a tough game. We play against one of the best teams in the world, but we want to do our job well.
I think it will be a fantastic game and a fantastic for moment for everyone at the club. But when you play Champions League, every team is a top team, every game is difficult.
...Roberto Mancini...
"If you play against Real or Barca, you are up against 100 years of history, they won everything. For this reason, I also think it will be difficult."
Meanwhile, Mancini's opposite number Jose Mourinho says he is ready for the Blues and despite a shaky start to this year's La Liga campaign, is confident of a positive result.
"I went over to see City play because I want my job to be done as close to perfection as possible. I wanted to analyse our opponents not just by video or stats but to see them first hand," the special one told The Sun.
"Okay a match against QPR is not a good game to make a direct transfer to a match in the Bernabeu. But it was good enough to see some aspects of the City team.
"And what I do know is they have very good players – and are a powerful side.
"Real Madrid is Real Madrid, it's the real thing. A club no football result, no cup competition, no coach, no player can ever change.
Quite simply Real Madrid is a club like no other. It's incomparable with any other club in the world
...Jose Mourinho...
"There is no team anywhere that can be compared with Real Madrid. None," he concluded.
Elsewhere this morning, The Daily Mail carry an exclusive story, claiming that midfield maestro David Silva is on the verge of signing a new deal with the Blues.
"The club have been negotiating with Silva all summer as they look to tie one of Europe's hottest properties to a deal for the next five years," reports the paper's Ian Ladyman.
"Talks reached a worrying stalemate during pre-season as City struggled to deal with the Spaniard's wage demands.
"However, it is understood the arrival of Spanish chief executive Ferran Soriano has given the issue fresh impetus and the club are hopeful of agreeing terms within two weeks."
Remember we at mcfc.co.uk will be first to let you know about any new deal.

701 5th Ave # 97, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810447.604817 -122.330568
Neighborhoods: Pioneer Square, Downtown
Do Not Use this Limo Service – Unreliable. Booked this limo service for a ride to the airport. Never showed. Had to take another means. This company still charged my credit card. Read fine print in their disclaimer/
The best limo service ever! – I had a great experience with Seattle Limousine. I needed a town car and I called their office to book one in such a short notice. The kind agent was very helpful that she was able to accommodate my reservation. And I was even more surprised when she quoted me a reasonable price even on such a short notice. The driver was at my townhouse 10 minutes before my scheduled pick up time. Highly recommendable!
Excellent limo service in Seattle – The best graduation gift ever! The chauffeur was polite and civil in handling my noisy friends.
Right after the graduation ceremony he was standing at the schools parking lot waiting for me and my friends. We sure felt like Hollywood movie stars riding in the limo service. The bar was well stock with champagne to toss our success. Inside it was clean and we were all comfortable with their spacious car. Thank you Seattle Airport Limo and Town Car for playing a part in my college graduation!
Careful, affordable, professional! – My first experience with Seattle Airport Limo and Town Car company was very rewarding.
The company was prompt with the schedule, the driver was cautious in driving, they had clean presentable and well maintained car. The second time I booked an airport limo with this company I was arriving in Seattle with my two sons. The driver carefully took care of my luggage's while I settled them inside the car. The driver carefully parked the car, unloaded the bags and brought them in the house. My grateful thanks for the service.
Recommended! – I used Seattle Airport Limo and Town Car several times and the town cars were always clean, new and comfortable. The staff is easy to deal with and their rates are affordable. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Recommended Wedding Transportation! – Consider this limo service for your next wedding :). Seattle Airport Limo and Town Car organized all the transportation for our wedding and did a very great job with timing. Everyone was happy with the clean, stylish stretch limos.
airport pick up – I got picked up in the Sea-Tac airport last week by Seattle Airport Limo and Town Car. The town car was clean and comfortable. I had a long trip and was able to relax and get some rest. The chauffeur was polite and understanding.
Airport limo Seattle – I recently used Airport Limo and Town Car for a trip and must say I was absolutely amazed!! The service was 5 stars from start to finish. After my arrival at Seattle airport they were there to pick me up within 5 minutes. The entire trip was nice and a lot of fun. I will definitely use them again and will refer to anyone I know.
Highly recommended Seattle limousine service – Great service and great price. Staff was very friendly and prompt. Parking lot was convenient and easy to find. Shuttle vehicles were luxurious and clean with little to no wait time for pick-up or drop-off. I would use Airport Limo and Town Car again in a heartbeat. Will recommend to friends.
Very satisfied customer – I ordered a town car from Seattle Airport Limo and Town Car to go to airport on a Sunday morning at 6:45 and it was here by 6:35 am. So I was happy! Pleasant friendly service. Knowledgeable, professional driver. Comfortable, clean car. I will definitely call them again!

The local softball community lost two of its all-time greats last week with the passing of Harold Stofflet and Ernie Rohrbach.
Stofflet, who was 92, was the father of legendary softball pitcher Ty Stofflet.
"Harold was big in getting fastpitch going up in the Orefield area and also pitched a little bit for my dad's Pates teams."
Rohrbach, who was 87, served the game in a number of capacities.
First, he was a tremendous player for a variety of teams in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. "He was the best slap bunter I've ever seen," Hunsicker said. "No one could do it like him. And he'd always be on first base. He was also a very good catcher. He took a beating back there, but he was tough."
Later, Rohrbach became a top-notch manager and guided the Patriots when they hosted the ASA national tournament in 1976.
But beyond that, he was a great ambassador for the sport. He traveled to many national tournaments with fellow softball fans such as Lou Groff, Bob Walsh and Bill "Butter" Long and helped to bring the ISC World tournament to Allentown in 1984.
Basically, Pates Park was his home every spring and summer, and he was always attending games or helping out in some capacity. It's no wonder he was a member of the first induction class of the Lehigh Valley Softball Hall of Fame.
"It's amazing that these two gentlemen, who did so much for the sport and who spent so much time at Pates Park over the years, left us at almost the same time," Hunsicker said. "These two helped to make softball what it was once in this area — a very prominent, popular game. They will be greatly missed."
The Whitehall-Coplay School District will add four new members to its Athletic Hall of Fame in a ceremony on Jan. 27 prior to a home varsity boys basketball game against Central Catholic. The four new inductees are Ed Csencsits, Jerry Lloyd, Val Nordquist and Frank Szoke.
Here's a brief summary of each inductee's career:
Csencsits — A member of the class of 1965, Csencsits made his mark as a football player and coach. The three-sport athlete was a first-team all-league selection as an offensive end at Whitehall and went on to become an all-league receiver and set numerous receiving records during his college career at East Stroudsburg. He went on to spend 30 years coaching football at Catasauqua, 17 seasons as a head coach. His teams won six Colonial League and four District 11 titles. Three of them went undefeated.
Lloyd — A member of the class of 1998, Lloyd was a four-year starter on Zephyr basketball teams that won three East Penn Conference and three District 11 titles. He was a three-time all-EPC selection and The Morning Call player of the year as a senior. He is third all-time in scoring at Whitehall with 1,544 points and went on to have a stellar collegiate career at Mount St. Mary's, where he was a member of a Northeast Conference title game that reached the NCAA tournament. He finished fifth in Mt. St. Mary's history in 3-pointers made.
Nordquist — A member of the class of 1995, Nordquist made her mark as an outstanding swimmer at Whitehall and Northern Michigan University. In high school, Nordquist, a four-year letter winner, earned all-state honors in the 100 backstroke. She still holds Whitehall records in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke. She was also a three-time letter winner and two-time captain of the track and field team at Whitehall. At Northern Michigan, Nordquist was a 16-time NCAA Division II All-American, finishing as high as fifth in the 50 freestyle. She also was a three-time academic All-American.
Szoke — A member of the class of 1968, Szoke was an outstanding basketball and baseball player. He was a member of the 1966 District 11 championship baseball team as well as the 1967 Lehigh Valley League basketball champions. He played baseball at Rider College and also was a standout player on the 1968 Coplay Legion squad that finished second in the state. Szoke won the Louisville Slugger award in the state tournament, batting .524. He was drafted in the 30th round by the New York Mets while a senior at Whitehall.
To nominate someone for the Whitehall Hall of Fame, go to http://www.whitehallcoplay.org, or contact athletic director Bob Hartman.
Former Bethlehem Catholic football standout Eric Newell is part of another boxing card coming up on Feb. 25 at the Rodeway Inn at Routes 309 and 22 in Allentown.
Newell, a heavyweight who is 3-1 with one knockout, will face Randy Easton (who is making his debut) as part of a six-bout card presented by King's Promotions dubbed "Heavyweight Explosion."
The headline attraction is another heavyweight matchup featuring William "Big Stuff" Miranda (4-41) against David Williams (6-5-1) of Philadelphia.
The 33-year-old Miranda, originally from Queens, N.Y., will be making his second straight appearance at the Rodeway Inn, and he has attracted a large local following.
"Part of the reason I connect with my crowd is that, I don't look at them as my fans, but as my friends," said Miranda, who works as a personal trainer at Lehigh Valley Isshin Ryu Karate in Catasauqua, where he teaches mixed martial arts fighting and boxing. "I believe the feeling is mutual and that the crowd genuinely roots for me and wants to see me do well."
For tickets, call King's Boxing at 610-587-5950 or visit http://www.kingsboxing.com.

A Zone take on an old favorite.
Make the Faux Mashed Potatoes according to directions. Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onions, garlic, and red pepper. Cook until the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 4 minutes (add some of the vegetable stock if need be). Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin; cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the roast beef and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer about 30 minutes. Stir in the oregano and season to taste with salt and pepper. Top the Faux Mashed Potatoes with the beef mixture and dress with chopped parsley before serving. Have an apple for dessert.

A listing of all services offered by Summa Health System
"I didn't think I could talk to my doctor about my problem, but eventually it got to the point where my problem was controlling me. I was afraid to laugh, sneeze or cough. It got to the point where my whole life revolved around being near a bathroom. It was really uncomfortable being at work, too, having to leave my desk at least 10 times a day to "take a break". After a while, I realized if I didn't tell my doctor what was going on, then this is how I'd spend my life, so finally, I made an appointment. I'm so grateful to Dr. Flora and his staff for treating me. They made me feel very comfortable and took great care of me. It's such a relief, really. The only regret I have is not taking care of this sooner."

Girls as young as 15 years old have called local escort agencies asking for work.
Agency owner Kurt Tay said: "I receive such calls from underage girls every few months or so and I will tell them that I'm not interested. I don't want to break the law."
It is an easy way for them to earn big bucks, said Mr Tay candidly.
"A client can fork out between $200 and $1,000 to spend an hour with any one of my girls."
A nightclub mamasan said men prefer young women, perceiving them as fresh and safer in terms of contracting diseases. Some men even told her they are willing to risk breaking the law by sleeping with a minor.
Anyone convicted of having paid sex with anyone under 18 can be jailed up to seven years and fined.

Vintage Lace, French Ribbons, European Trim
Nifty Thrifty Dry Goods is my third business. I started off focusing on collectible buttons, then I added vintage lace, French ribbons, and European trim. Later I expanded to incorporate new items, such as beads and patterns, in addition to my vintage stock.
Why do you love your business?
Every show where I have a booth is exciting for me. I love being able to offer such beautiful items and help my customers find the perfect materials for their projects. I also enjoy the freedom. I feel empowered as a woman to go out on the road, meeting people all over.
Spools of Purple Ribbon & Trim
I've learned that what I do is truly an artistic endeavor: the collections, displays, colors. It's merchandising and marketing, yes, but it's also about creating pure beauty and seeing my customers happy.
Fabric Flowers in Display Boxes

MyEclipse: [UML] My imported XMI file is missing diagrams, why?
- Nov 07, 2006 - 07:49 PM
Post subject:
[UML] My imported XMI file is missing diagrams, why?
This is a commonly reported confusion. The problem is that the XMI file format only describes the
of your diagram, not the actual diagram itself. Every UML tool has it's own format for storing diagrams so there is currently no universal way to get diagrams out of one tool and into another.
What you need to do in the case where you are moving your UML work over to MyEclipse is to export your existing diagram to an XMI file, go into MyEclipse, import the XMI into a new UMR file, then using the Package Overview outline view, you can drag and drop those entities from your model onto new diagrams, effectively reconstituting the diagram.

Critically endangered Sumatran orangutans are facing another major threat to their habitat. Their rainforest homes are being rapidly replaced by agricultural developments, which makes simple survival for these gentle apes increasingly difficult. Food is getting harder to come by, and the continued loss of their forest sanctuaries has made orangutans more vulnerable to hunters and poachers than ever.
The Sumatran Orangutan Society works to protect, treat, and relocate these endangered apes to safer forest homes. Find out how you can help.
When scientists first saw images of the platypus, they thought it was a hoax. However, after platypuses were studied and classified, biologists discovered they were much more confounding than they had originally thought. Not only do platypuses lay eggs, but they also hunt for prey by poking their snouts around streambeds with closed eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths.
Find out about the shocking method these unique creatures use to scour their aquatic ecosystems for food.
About 40% of Australian female koalas are now infertile due to an epidemic of chlamydia. We must intervene if we are to reverse the pattern that could lead these cuddly creatures to extinction.
Sign the petition asking Australia's Federal Environment Minister to elevate koalas to endangered status and ensure they receive the resources necessary to avert this catastrophe.

The perfect time to throw a fun brunch to honor those special moms in our lives.
Make these cute animal themed gift bags for gift giving this Easter.
For my pages, I started by gluing down some thin strips of patterned papers onto my pages. The ProCision Rotary Bypass Trimmer cuts thin strips of patterned paper very nicely. I then added a white tag and some die cut vellum strips. I just wanted to add some different colors and textures to form the base of my page.
Next, I brought in pink and aqua colors by using watercolors. I used a mask and spray just on the bottom left corner to form a flower pattern. I then layered some cream paint on top of everything. For the cream paint, I used a very dry brush, added just a little paint to the tip of the brush and painted on the page. This will make sure that the colors beneath don't turn murky.
For the next layers, I used some of the new Maya Road fabric tapes. These tapes glue down nicely and the white ones can be painted over easily. I frilled them up a bit before I adhered them down. I also added a big wide pink ribbon, a butterfly and some more pops of colors.
Now here comes the fun part: the journaling. Writing down the story is the best part of this project. Use your handwriting or type your journaling - either way works! Add some doodling with the same pen to tie in the colors.
I finished off the page by adding some ribbons, stickers and scattered sequins.
Watercolor paints
Lace or trims
Patterned paper
Tacky glue

Decent Irish pub near Union Square with good selection of beer on tap.
Sometimes you just need a good old European style Irish pub. When that's the case, you can't go wrong with Foleys. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are cheap, and the fried calamari is nice and crispy.
Great place to let off some steam at the end of the week! – This dueling piano bar has a good atmosphere, fun patrons, and good customer service. We have been down to the bar (near Union Square) a few times and have always had a good time. The dueling piano singers engage the crowd and it is easy to meet new people at the bar. Go early if you want a table, otherwise it is standing room only.
Yum-tacular! – Went to Foley's on a Saturday night ready to get some good Irish pub food and some tasty beers. There was a short wait which we made go even faster by getting cocktails at the bar. I asked the Irish accented bartender for a good amber beer and he gave me a sample taste of the one he suggested. YUM! It was just how I liked it! Now if only I could remember what it was called! errrrr!
Once we sat our 12 year old waitress came by to take appetizer orders and any drink refills. We got calamari for the table. Probably one of the best calamari's I've had! I'm not an expert on it because usually it is difficult to find a friend to share it with. But, this one was lightly breaded with very tender (not chewy) meat inside. YUM! I could have eaten the whole plate myself! but I kindly shared :P
I decided after a big plate of fried calamari it would be in my best interest to stick with a salad. Amazing salmon salad. The dressing was sweet and tangy and they actually didn't drench the thing! The fish seemed juicy and fresh (not dry). over all very tasty. The rest of the table got chicken and steak which everyone seemed to enjoy. The best was the spicy fries my BF got....I stole only a couple!
My mission to get Irish food didn't quite turn out the way I expected, but next time I'm so getting the cottage pie!
Great Time for A Pint! – Our first time there and we loved it. Great atmosphere, warm and friendly.
Awesome service and great selection on tap we've ever seen. If you're in the area check it out.
Horrible – This place is horrible... I used to go here everyday for a drink after work...
Until one day I walked in and they grabbed me by the arm and said "sir you have to talk with the manager." I complied and went up to him he told me "I was never welcome here ever again." When I asked why he told me ....because I had received a complaint about a couple who I had given my business card to, only to try and help them out. He told me that I had shown them a picture of my member which is a total lie!!!! These ladies were obviously upset and made a rumor about me... I told him not to believe their story, that they were lying and he said I don't believe you.. You need to leave and never come back!
I was very upset and it made me mad that the place I had gone to and
been very courteous and kind did not take my word over some ladies that made up this horrible rumor... DO NOT GO HERE THEY ARE UNFAIR!!!!! Go somewhere else.....
Never a bad time... – Been here plenty of days and I've never had a bad time. Food is great, service is dependant on the kind of person you are. It's Bad if you like waitstaff equal to flies (buzz, buzz, buzz), Average if you like waistaff to be checking in with you every 15 minutes (everything STILL ok here?), Great if you like to take your time, enjoy your meal, nurse your ale and like to hollar waistaff over to request your check when you're ready. I don't know about everyone else but a pub- an IRISH pub none the less- is supposed to be rowdy and loud and you should expect to have to wave waistaff over. It's a pub. You want 5 star elegance with buzz, buzz waitstaff go on over to a fancy-schmancy sit down restaurant. Just remember you need a 4 month in advance reservation and oh ya- you can get just as good food over at Foley's and have a good time too if you just chill. And try ANY IRish pub on St. Pad's kids- what customer service?!?!? St. Pad's is CRAZY!!
great selection on tap – Foley's Irish House is a warm place to have lunch (bowl of soup, brown bread and pint of Guinness). A week ago wife was attending a conference, I was wandering about taking in the sights. I had the above lunch twice during the week and stopped in for a pint around 4pm daily. I found the bar service friendly and willing to chat if not busy. The bar was generally half filled at that time of day.
First night in town we had the "cottage (shepherds) pie." The flavor was fine but found it a bit heavy on the spuds. The soups were flavorful, hearty and of ample portion. Foley's offers an extensive selection of draught beer and ale.
I would certainly stop in again.
A great Pint in union square – I was in town on a Sunday night and just wandered into this place while walking around Union Square looking for a good drink. It was pretty busy for a Sunday night according to the bartender but it was ok as me and my buddy were able to secure a seat at the bar after about 20 mins. The flat screens were playing the Fox Soccer Channel and ESPN which provided enough entertainment. Has the best Newcastle on tap that I've had in awhile. Being in my mid-20's, I felt to be one of the younger patrons, but since I was only there to get a few beers, this place was great! I ended up going back the next day for some garlic fries. Highly recommended for someone looking for an irish pub.
V. Good bangers and mash – Not exactly authentic but quite good nonetheless. Murphy's a good drop on tap and the service was good - efficient yet unobtrusive bar staff.
If you're eating the bangers and mash were great.
Good Tourist Bar – If you have people to meet in the city or family in town, take them to this tourist bar. They are large enough to accomodate big parties and the food is decent. The drinks are decent and they pour a reasonably good pint of Guinness. Occassionally there are live bands and it is always very loud inside but if you sit towards the front, you can still hear each other talking. If you can, try to venture to real Irish pubs in the city. They tend to be a bit better all around.

Special teams has been a hit-or-miss proposition for the Panthers this season.
Even though their power play percentage is ranked sixth in the league coming into Wednesday, the Panthers went long stretches without having much success with the advantage.
Lately, however, the Panthers have been doing better and have six power-play goals in their past four games and are scoring at a 22 percent clip throughout the course of the season.
"We've had some consistency in our personnel and haven't tweaked it too much," coach Kevin Dineen said. "We have had different guys playing with each other. But when you have a guy like Brian Campbell out on the power play, I believe good things follow."
Killing off penalties has not seen much success this season, however.
The Panthers are ranked last in the league in penalty kill proficiency, allowing goals almost 26 percent of the time.
Things have looked up lately, however, as Florida has shut down its opponents in two of the past three games. In the game the Panthers did give up goals, Washington got three of them — two to NHL power-play leader Alex Ovechkin.
"We're not into making excuses around here," said assistant coach Gord Murphy, the former Panthers defenseman who is in charge of the penalty kill.
"We're not happy with where it is at. We had high expectations for it; it has been good for us in the past and is such a critical component of the game these days. Special teams, that's something everyone talks about. It's a concern. We've been frustrated with it at times."
With all the injuries the Panthers have suffered this season, all phases of their game have been affected. The penalty kill is no different. Losing Mike Weaver, whom Dineen called Florida's best penalty killer, for the past month has been especially problematic.
Murphy, forever an optimist, says the upside is Florida is getting to look at a number of young players in those roles killing penalties. It's a job that's not for everyone, although its success rate usually mirrors that of the standings.
Of the bottom seven penalty kill teams in the league, only Washington — ranked just above the Panthers — held a playoff spot as of Wednesday.
Center Drew Shore has missed the past three games with a wrist injury, but practiced Wednesday morning and is expected to play Thursday against the Jets.
Weaver practiced again Wednesday but did not make the trip. He could play Saturday against the Penguins.
• Dineen said the Panthers are well-rested after playing just four games over an 11-day span. Florida's game Thursday will be its first since beating Ottawa on Sunday.
"It's been nice to have a few days off," Dineen said, "but this wouldn't have chosen to pack all your days off in a row like this."
• Thursday will be a nice homecoming for rookie forward Quinton Howden as he plays his first game against the Jets. Howden, playing in his 11th NHL game, is from the Winnipeg area.
"Winnipeg bound!!" Howden sent out on his Twitter account Wednesday.
The Panthers will also face center Mike Santorelli for the first time since Winnipeg claimed him off waivers last week.

Caterpillar quickly turns positive: is the stock bottoming?
CAT shares took all of 20 minutes after the opening to turn modestly positive on heavy volume, despite a cautious outlook on 2013:
"We are taking a pragmatic view of 2013—we're not expecting rapid growth, and we're not predicting a global recession," CEO Doug Oberhelman said in the company's earnings release. (Read more: No Recession, but Plenty of Uncertainty: Caterpillar CEO)
This is very positive action. Remember, CAT lowered full year 2012 guidance, revenues are now at the lower end of expectations, and they are talking 2013 sales flat (Europe weak, modest rebounds in Brazil/China).
(Read more: Caterpillar Earnings Beat, but It Cuts Full-Year Outlook)
This, apparently, is not a huge surprise to the Street.
Almost a third of CAT's sales are in mining equipment, so a rebound in China/Brazil is crucial to even a flat outlook (Asia and Latin America are about 40 percent of revenues).
A couple points:
1) there's been a big bounce in coal stocks this morning as Peabody reported much better than expected earnings, gave a fairly bright outlook for 2012 as well.
And Freeport McMoRan also beat. Steel and iron ore stocks are trading up today.
2) CAT has proven to be an outstanding bellwether of the global economy: it telegraphed a slowdown better than any other stock this year. After peaking at an historic high of $116.95 in February, it quickly dropped 30 percent before bottoming at $78.25 on July 12. Since then, it's been mostly between $80 and $90.
Bottom line: the stock looks like it has a strong base at around $80. Rising on cautious outlook very positive.
My guess: the stock is likely under accumulation by early bulls looking to play a 2013 rebound. (Read more: Stocks Struggle for Direction; CAT Rebounds)
