Why do YOU need to clean your air?
Everyone might have different reasons when they look for an air cleaner. Do you need to improve the air in your entire house, then you should find a whole house uv air purifier. Or do you need to clean the air of your daughter's bedroom because she's allergic to your cat? Then you need an air cleaner for pet dander.
To make sure you end up with the right purifier, I have created an extensive guide below:
Smoke, dust, pollen, pet dander and other allergens can become a problem for your overall health. A good quality air purifier helps to curb the effects of these harmful particles in the air inside your home.
Selecting the most appropriate air purifier for your home can be a difficult task as there are some important factors which have to considered before purchasing one. Moreover, the different varieties and designs make it a little bit more tricky to make a decision.
1. The different types of purifiers
There are a few points which could be kept in mind while looking for the top air purifier for your home situation. For instance, what are you using it for? You might only need to get rid of odor, in which case you could opt for the Therapure air purifier. If you are looking for something which takes care of a large room, you should look at the Honeywell True Hepa air purifier which is the best large room air purifier.
These are some of the different types of purifiers to choose from:
- Smoke Eliminators – read guide
- Air Purifiers for Allergies – read guide
- Air Purifiers for Mold – read guide
- Air Purifiers for Pet Hair – read guide
2. Additional Features
Aside from the specific purpose you are looking for, looking at these additional features can help you to make the right decision:
- Ionizing cleaning method
These air purifiers use charged particles to attract other particles such as dust and pollen. The purifiers come with metal plates which attract the contaminants once they pass through the electric field. The contaminants are attracted to the plates due to the opposite charge. Some particles are even attracted to each other to charge difference which makes them heavier and eventually leads to the contaminants being settled out of the air.
- Types of Filters
Filters are used to clean the air which passes through them. The design and functions of the filters makes them clean the air from contaminants. Usually filters are made from cotton, fiberglass or foam. The density of the filters also plays a key role in controlling the way the air is filtered. Smaller the gap means smaller contaminants can be trapped.
HEPA Filter
A top rated air purifier usually uses true High Efficiency Particulate Air filters (HEPA). These able to remove particles which are under 0.3 micrometers or bigger. These filters allow only a certain amount of air to flow through them.Having a true HEPA filter and/or carbon filter plays a key role of filtering out odors. Some air purifiers may not be equipped with one therefore directly affecting the capabilities of the machine to give the desired performance.
- Use of Adsorbents
These filters use an adsorbent material to trap contaminants. The most popular adsorbent material is activated charcoal. The surface of this material makes it perfect to trap differently sized contaminants and filter the air clean.
- Ozone Generators
These air purifiers use electric charges or UV light to turn the passing oxygen into ozone. The ozone molecules in turn clean the air. However, the use of such purifiers is not recommended due to the health risks which are associated with ozone.
- Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)
This factor tells us how capable the air purifier is in removing harmful and toxic substances from the air. The CADR rating of the purifier is usually provided on the seal. It is required to filter the air from substances like dust, pollen and the impurities which are given off with tobacco smoke.
- Safety of Use
This is an extremely important factor which needs to be considered when purchasing an air purifier. Some of the air purifiers may produce ozone or other chemicals which are extremely harmful for the human respiratory system.
- Other Features
The design of the air purifier is also important when judging it on the basis of being a user friendly product. The overall design of the product including the LEDs, knobs, fans etc may play a key role in determining the usability of the air purifier. Features such as ionizer, carbon filter and pre filter also count.
Once you determine which type of purifier you need and can afford, you can look at reviews of other users. To save you time and energy, I compiled a list of the current Top 10 Air Purifiers, based on my own experiences and many consumer reviews:
- IQAir New Edition HealthPro Plus: This air purifier has an ultimate combination of features and performance.

Rookie DeAndre Levy will replace veteran Ernie Sims at outside linebacker, assuming Sims doesn't play because of his shoulder injury.
"DeAndre needs to get on the field," defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said. "He proved that he's one of our better players.
"I've wanted to get him in the game the last couple weeks, but the situations were kind of difficult to get him in."
Levy has been in the middle for the most part lately, but he has trained at both spots and played on the outside at Wisconsin. "That's his home," Cunningham said. "But the good thing is, he can play any one of the spots.
"He's real smart, a real student of the game, and he's a heavy-hitter."
Levy has shown promise when he has had the chance to play. But he has been all over the field, playing on the outside and in the middle, and could be ripe for errors.
Defensive end is still an issue, because Cliff Avril might not play for the second straight week with a hamstring injury. Jason Hunter made an impact against Minnesota, however. The left guard position also is still unsettled with Daniel Loper and Manny Ramirez fighting for the starting job.
Personnel Notes:
- DE Cliff Avril did not practice Wednesday because of a hamstring injury, after sitting out last week and not playing Sunday against Minnesota. It is unclear if he will play this Sunday against Washington, but he is expected to return by Oct. 4 at Chicago.
- LB Ernie Sims did not practice Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Coach Jim Schwartz continued to call it significant, but declined to comment further. He didn't rule out surgery.
- QB Drew Stanton practiced Wednesday for the first time since knee surgery. He did more than planned because he felt good. The test will be whether the knee swells.
- QB Brock Berlin was released from the practice squad.
- DT Matthias Askew was signed to the practice squad.

Western Bulldogs skipper Matthew Boyd out for 2-3 weeks
- From: Herald Sun
- March 25, 2013
WESTERN Bulldogs captain Matthew Boyd will miss at least the first two weeks of the season with a calf strain.
The ball magnet had scans today which confirmed the injury.
Boyd experienced soreness in the calf following the Bulldogs practice match against Richmond on March 16.
Dogs football manager James Fantasia remained optimistic despite Boyd's injury.
"Although it's unfortunate that Matthew has suffered an injury on the eve of the season, it will provide some of our talented, emerging midfielders an opportunity to take another step in their development," he said.
"Matthew, as always will rehabilitate his injury with the professionalism that we've come to know and expect. And we have no doubt he'll be back as quickly as possible."
The loss of Boyd comes as a blow for the Dogs who could also be without Brownlow medallist Adam Cooney for their Round 1 clash against the in-from Brisbane Lions on Saturday.
Cooney was hospitalised last week with a knee infection. He must prove his fitness this week to be any chance of lining up.
Former West Coast Eagles fringe player Koby Stevens is expected to fill the void left by Boyd in the midfield.
Stevens has been one of the Dogs best during the NAB Cup and should relish the opportunity.

Tory MP Mike Freer: If gay people pay the same contributions, their pension rights must be the same
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
So, good for Mr. Freer. He made the same sort of points following on from Caroline Lucas in the readings before the Bill (as it was then) went to the Lords. Dr. Huppert MP (Cambridge) also questioned Yvette Cooper about Equality meaning Equality. She gave the strong impression that she agreed with him but supported the amendment as a way of getting the Bill through: it was part-proposed by the great Lord Alli so, although it's disappointing that the situation was not resolved at this stage, there is hope. As Lord Lester made clear in the lords, if the Government don't decide on doing something then it may ultimately, be up to the Courts to resolve.
The worry of course, particularly as the Government have tied the review into the historical inequalities between men and women within the pension system as it stands, is that they are trying to kick the issue into touch. Let's hope not and that PN can keep us informed.
Well done Mr Freer – keep up the pressure for pension fiscal equality! £18 million is the same cost as widening a mile or two of motorway – lets invest in our futures not tarmacing over more of our countryside!
"We're very conscious that these [pension] schemes already face difficult economic conditions."
So let's assume for a minute that pensions are equal and in trouble financially. Is anyone suggesting a good way to save money would be to discriminate against gay people?
The pot is getting a bit empty, let's just stop giving the money out to gay people.
Sounds ludicrous?
Well what's the difference between saying that and saying we cannot equalise the situation because it would cost too much?
Child allowance is becoming a bit of a drain, let's stop giving it to black families. One way to save money.
Doesn't sound quite the same does it?
Headline says it all really….Keep going Mr Freer.
Best wishes
Due to the pensions inequality between heterosexual married couples and those who will be same-sex married couples, the same-sex marriage legislation cannot be described as being 'marriage equality'. Equality was the whole point of the legislation, so why was pension inequality overlooked? It is yet another struggle for us to overcome. Shame on the politicians for allowing this inequality to remain when they had the opportunity to remedy it during the lengthy legislative process of the same-sex marriage bill. As things stand, same-sex marriage isn't marriage equality!

Fall Special (check your local listings.)
"49 Up" is the seventh film in a series of landmark documentaries that began 42 years ago when UK-based Granada's World in Action team, inspired by the Jesuit maxim "Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man," interviewed a diverse group of seven-year-old children from all over England, asking them about their lives and their dreams for the future. Michael Apted, a researcher for the original film, has returned to interview the "children" every seven years since, at ages 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and now again at age 49.
In this latest chapter, more life-changing decisions are revealed, more shocking announcements made and more of the original group take part than ever before, speaking out on a variety of subjects including love, marriage, career, class and prejudice.

It has been 20 years since I drove into Penn State's Beaver Stadium on the visitor's team bus.
As we turned on to a road that would eventually take us to the locker room, I just stared out the window at a sea of Penn State fans. It looked like they stretched for miles—eating, drinking and yelling.
Yep, they were getting ready for a night game in State College.
This is just one of the many great college football memories that I have. The atmosphere at Penn State was everything I thought it would be. I even managed to spend a half on the field, and the noise was bone-rattling.
Say what you want about the NFL or any other sport, but nothing comes close to being at a college football stadium in the fall.
While I haven't experienced all of these places, here are the 20 best atmospheres in all of college football.

Welcome to the Korennykh Lab
Immune & Stress Response Mediated by RNA
Protein levels in mammalian cells are set largely by the abundance of their messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The mRNA abundance depends on mRNA production and decay, which change according to the needs of the cell. The production is controlled by transcription factors or by chromatin modifications epigenetically, whereas decay is controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs), by proteins that bind to AU-rich RNA elements (AREs) in mRNAs, as well as by poly-U tail addition or m6A methylation.
In addition, mammalian cells contain a variety of sensors that survey conditions inside the cells (DNA damage, viral or bacterial molecules) or outside the cells (cytokines, chemokines, interferons, viral or bacterial molecules), and tune the levels of mRNAs involved in immune and stress programs. These programs either help the cell to adapt to the damage or kill the cell to benefit survival of the whole organism. They are important not only for normal cellular functions, but also for infectious and neoplastic diseases, inflammatory and degenerative disorders, diabetes and innate (i.e. pre-programmed) immunity.

Farrell and Denahan-Norris appear to have worked closely over the years, and her ascension to the position of CEO is likely, and not apt to cause any changes to Annaly's business plans. Annaly recently announced a $1.5 billion stock-buyback program, which followed a recent repurchase of 4% convertible senior notes with 2015 due dates. This new announcement has prompted an upgrade by Compass, which notes the savvy distribution of capital, an action that will also help support the stock price. The all-important book value should also be bolstered by QE3, not only for Annaly but for all mREITs, as MBSes become scarcer and scarcer.
Annaly has been through hard times before, and will likely see its way through the current dodgy financial climate, too. While Farrell will certainly be missed, his company seems to be in able hands.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Central Florida president: NCAA 'went beyond what was supported by the facts' in ban
After receiving numerous NCAA sanctions in football and basketball for major recruiting violations, Central Florida has decided to appeal the one-year postseason ban in football.
The Committee on Infractions cited UCF for numerous recruiting violations and lack of institutional control. As a result, the NCAA penalized the school with five years of probation, a postseason ban in men's basketball and football, show-cause orders for athletic department personnel, scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions, a vacation of men's basketball records and a $50,000.
"We accepted the one-year postseason ban for men's basketball because the facts supported that penalty," school president John Hitt wrote in a letter released by the school. "But in assigning the postseason ban for football, the NCAA report went beyond what was supported by the facts.
"Consequently, UCF is filing an appeal. In doing so, we will ask the NCAA for an expedited ruling in order to bring closure to this issue."
According to Hitt, the university will notify the NCAA of their intent to appeal Wednesday. After consulting with university academic and athletic leadership, the UCF president called the decision to appeal "the right thing to do."
Instead, it has been suggested -- specifically by CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd -- that Hitt and head coach George O'Leary are playing the system. UCF has arguably one of the best teams in Conference USA and the postseason ban would prevent the Knights from competing in the C-USA Championship Game. An appeal of the sanction could drag out the process, allowing UCF to compete for a league title until the appeal is upheld or denied.
If the appeal process drags beyond the season, the ban -- if upheld -- would carry into 2013. It is possible that UCF believes taking that sanction in its first season of Big East competition would leave less on the table than a possible league title in Conference USA.
If the NCAA rejects UCF's appeal, Hitt wrote that the school will accept that decision.

Catcher Carlos Ruiz was placed on the seven-day disabled list Friday night with concussion symptoms after being hit on the helmet by a pitch from Miami's A.J. Ramos in the 11th inning Thursday.
Ruiz remained in the game during the Phillies' 14-inning win over the Marlins, but he was not in manager Ryne Sandberg's starting lineup Friday. Sandberg said Ruiz's condition was being monitored earlier in the day, but indicated that the catcher was just getting a day off following a 4-hour, 41-minute game.
The Phillies, however, sent out a release later in the day about Ruiz's condition. This is not the first time Ruiz has spent time on the disabled list with a concussion. He also missed 20 games in June 2010 after being struck in the head by a broken bat.

I own two pair. They wash and dry quickly and easily by hand when traveling. I am happy with the look - more fitted. I wear a 4 or 6 and the 4 is perfect.

I checked out my twitter replies this morning and there was one from farhanlaji:
wondering what @chr1sa @umairh and @fredwilson think about the whole News Corp, Rupert Murdoch charging for content thing
Farhan is referring to comments Rupert Murdoch made on News Corp's earnings call about turning all of News Corp's (NASDAQ:NWS) news sites into paid properties.
I'm eager to see News Corp do this. We can talk until we are blue in the face about whether people will pay for news or not. Talk is cheap. Actions are not. So I'm eager to see the experiments begin.
I've said that I think a freemium model is best where the "drive by visitor" does not have to register or pay to view content on news sites. I like the model where the more frequent a visitor is, the more is required of them. Maybe registration on the third or fourth visit, once the content has proven to be valuable. And maybe payment for the most frequent visitors/users. I blogged about this model recently.
But there's more than one revenue model for online content. Clearly advertising is going to be part of all of them. For some, advertising is enough. I'm close to several niche online properties who are making money with an "ad only" model. It works for some. For others, a subscription model will have to be used to supplement ad revenue. And so I am eager to see what News Corp comes up with.
They already have a subscription model in place at the WSJ. I don't like the WSJ's model as much as the FT's model and I explained why in the post I linked to above. But News Corp has a model they could propogate across their other news sites. It's not clear to me that newspapers like The Sun, The Times (NYSE:NYT), and The Post will be able to make the WSJ's model work. And that's what interests me. What will News Corp do for those properties? And will it work?
So let's get on with it. Let the experiments with paid news begin.

Cancer Health Center
Test May Predict Colon Cancer Survival
Jan. 28, 2008 (Orlando, Fla.) -- A simple blood test can pinpoint people who have a good chance of surviving despite a diagnosis of advanced colon cancer, researchers report.
The test uses magnets to separate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) -- which come from solid tumors and roam through the blood, spreading cancer -- from other cells.
Cancer Videos
Related Slideshows
"The number of CTCs before treatment can identify those patients destined to live longer vs. those who will die sooner," says researcher Neal J. Meropol, MD, director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
The test also tells the doctor whether a person is responding to treatment sooner than currently used measures, he says.
"The idea is to spare patients the side effects of ineffective therapies by finding out who won't do well much sooner," Meropol tells WebMD.
CTC Levels in Colon Cancer Patients
The researchers tried out the test on 430 people with metastatic colon cancer -- that is, cancer that had spread to other parts of the body such as the liver or lungs.
Results showed that people with low CTC blood levels before treatment lived more than twice as long as those with high levels: 19 months vs. nine months.
People with high levels relapsed much sooner: five months vs. eight months.
The results held up regardless of a person's age, type of treatment, extent of disease, or overall health, Meropol says.
He adds that a high CTC level doesn't mean that a person won't respond to therapy, just that the person "might not do as well as someone else."
The researchers also looked at what happened to people with high CTC levels after they started treatment. They found that if CTC levels dropped substantially within three to five weeks, the risk of relapse or dying did as well.
On the flip side, Meropol says, "If CTCs didn't clear from the blood after a few weeks of treatment, the patient was destined to do poorly."
The findings were presented at the annual Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.
Robert Mayer, MD, director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Center in Boston, says other researchers have shown that high CTC levels are associated with a poor prognosis in women with metastatic breast cancer.
The new findings offer "provocative, important pilot data [on their use] in colorectal cancer," he tells WebMD.
Mayer says that before CTC screening is ready for prime time, however, it needs to be tested in larger numbers of people.

I guess I'm a little confused on this. Done some very light research and am a bit confused. So it's different from choking? How does it happen, how would one know it is happening, and what do you do about it? Does it happen mainly with breastmilk, formula, or does it matter?
I ask because I keep reading things about heart babies aspirating milk with not-so-pleasant consequences.Ā I'm not totally sure what I'm in for yet and desire a solid knowledge base on all areas heart baby :)

Club managers tee off with Marathon Golf for kids' charities
The Best Ball tournament is one of the most impressive golf events of its kind with over 400 participants on four courses. No other one-day tournament has this many golfers participating for a single charity. At the same time, the Marathon event is also unlike other tournaments - "unconventional"
"Yes, we adhere to the basic scoring rules of golf, but that's where it ends. It's not about protocol, it's about having fun while raising money. In essence, we challenge everyone to play until they drop," mused Gary Collins, tournament committee member and country club manager at Frenchman's Reserve. "A standard PGA tournament is 72 holes. With Marathon Golf, some of us have played more than 140 holes and finish up playing in the dark with flashlights!"
"The objective with this event is to make a dramatic difference in the lives of thousands of children in need through our beneficiaries,"
Virtually all the proceeds go directly to the South Florida chapters of the various charities. The Marathon Golf event has no overhead, greens fees are waived and all the food for the Gala is donated. Beneficiary charities include Toys for Tots, The Special Olympics, SOS Children's Villages, The George Snow Scholarship Fund, The Unicorn Children's Foundation, FlorenceFullerChildDevelopmentCenters and The First Tee of the Palm Beaches.
"Our mission is to impact the lives of young people, including those with disabilities, with educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing core values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf," said Carl Mistretta, executive chairman of The First Tee of the Palm Beaches. "We're excited to be working with the Florida Seminole Region of CMAA. Their programs truly embody the values we teach at First Tee."
To sign up your company or club for Marathon Golf, call Gary Collins at 561-261-3554. To sign up for the June 8 and 9th Charity Golf Event contact Darlene Wright at Boca West Country Club at firstname.lastname@example.com or 561-488-6990. If you simply wish to make a tax-deductable donation, make check payable to "The Seminole Region Charity Tournament" and send to Gary Collins, Marathon Golf, Frenchman's Reserve Country Club, 3370 Grande Corniche, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410.
A team from last year's event played a Mirasol Marathon record 111 holes and raised $20,000. (L-R) Tennis Pro JT Thatcher, Head Golf Pro Mark Puls, Food & Beverage Manager Ryan Schultz

Pierre LeBrun (4:06 PM)
Ok puck fans, before turkey comes hockey chatsky. Let's get it going.
Connor (Chicago, IL)
Will the Blackhawks make the playoffs?
Pierre LeBrun (4:07 PM)
YES. I know the West is much tougher than the East but I think they're ready to make that step. There are a few more moves up Dale Tallon's sleave, including acquiring a center, but even as it stands this is a playoff-ready team.
Michael (Westfield, NJ)
Pierre -- What do you think of the following realignment: Moving Fla to Seattle, placing that team in the NW division. Booting Minnesota, moving them to the Central Division, and placing the Preds in Florida's old spot? Thanks!
Pierre LeBrun (4:08 PM)
I love the logic. Unfortunately Mr. Bettman will do everything in his power to avoid any kind of re-location. Should be interesting to see what happens with the Panthers over the course of time,however. These aren't great times for them tight now.
Chris (Sunnyvale, CA)
Is Marc Savard the most underrated player in the NHL? Boston's excellent start has brought some attention to his abilities, but he's been one of the top playmakers for years.
Pierre LeBrun (4:10 PM)
Chris, nice to hear from you again. Yes he is very underrated, especially since improving his defensive game under Claude Julien. Check out Scott Burnside's excellent piece on the Bruins today to find out more on Savard. Despite Savard's excellent play, I think he'll be hard-pressed to make Team Canada 2010. Thornton, Lecavalier, Crosby, Getzlaf, Richards _ that's tough sledding as a center to make that team
david (maryland)
i was listening on cbc hotstove about al strachan mentionted the possiblity of the nhl being back on espn as early as next season. What are the chances that the nhl is back on espn next season?
Pierre LeBrun (4:11 PM)
I have to be careful given who my employer is David but I think the chances are better than they've been in the past two years. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Chris (Sunnyvale, CA)
Dan Boyle or Brian Campbell?
Pierre LeBrun (4:11 PM)
The next two years, Dan Boyle. After that, Brian Campbell.
Chris (Sunnyvale, CA)
Would the Wild be smart to trade Gaborik as soon as he's healthy and had a few games under his belt or wait until the deadline?
Pierre LeBrun (4:12 PM)
As soon as he's healthy I would move him. The loner they wait the less they will get in return in my opinion given that he's UFA July 1. Then again, maybe there's still a chance they sign him !
Kessel (Boston)
Do you see the Bruins staying on this hot streak for a long time or do you believe they will come back down from the skies down the road?
Pierre LeBrun (4:13 PM)
I think they're legit. At some point Montreal will narrow the gap and they'll be neck and neck to the end. But I don't think the ballon will burst. They've got four solid lines, a good blue-line and good goaltending.
Dave (Chicago Il)
Pierre, is the Steen trade a sign of things to come from Burke? Or is this another fire sale of prospects to get vets for Wilson?
Pierre LeBrun (4:14 PM)
Well first of all Cliff Fletcher made the deal, not Burke, he's still not officially signed yet ! (although Burke certainly knew about it). But yes, I think you'll see Burke come in and try to shed more salary.
Adam (Lake George, NY)
Maxim Afinogenov and Hank Tallinder return to the Sabres lineup tonight against Boston after being benched for poor play. Do struggling players often respond positively or negatively from benchings?
Pierre LeBrun (4:15 PM)
Hate to sound vanilla Adam but it really depends on the player. Some guys when they get scratched it tugs at their pride and they come back and play well for a long time. Others sulk and give up on their coach. really depends.
Manny Z Atlanta Ga
Ok, will the Thrashers make the playoffs? why or why not?
Pierre LeBrun (4:16 PM)
Manny I hope so but I don't think they will. Not enough epth up front
Glen Sather(New York,NY)
Pierre,Will Mats Sundin give us a hometown discount?
Pierre LeBrun (4:17 PM)
There's a discount and then there's the kind of discount the Rangers need. Unless they move some bodies I don't see them signing him at this point. But I know they want to. Vancouver is the front-liner in my opinion. They're playing well and they've got tons of cap room
Will eric staal start putting the points up on a consistent basis? Also will Tim Gleason or Frank Kaberle play tonight against philly?
Pierre LeBrun (4:20 PM)
I just check with the Hurricanes and they weren't sure yet whether either would play. It's possible. As for Staal, no question he will turn it around, I guarantee it.
Sean, Quebec
Hi Pierre -- love your work. Thoughts on the way the canadiens roster is structured. It seems built for the regular season, but I dont see the grittiness and physicality of a team built for the more greuling and intense playoff runs. Can they upgrade here to avoid being pushed around like they were by Boston and Montreal last year?
Pierre LeBrun (4:21 PM)
Thanks Sean. The one thing that bothers the most right now about their team is their lack of high-end, blue-line depth after Markov, Komisarek and Hamlrik. They need to find another top-four guy. And I suspect Bob Gainey will try to do just that before March 4
Sean, Quebec
What is a reasonable haul for the wild to expect back for gaborik? Something similar to hossa last year?
Pierre LeBrun (4:21 PM)
Yes I think so. First-round pick, top prospect and perhaps a servicable player
Tom (Calgary, Alberta)
I was at the Kings/Flames game last night. Are the Kings really that bad? And do you know what Sutter has against Europeans? Seriously the Flames only have one on their current team.
Pierre LeBrun (4:23 PM)
Sutter loves what Sutter knows. Sutter hockey. Hard-nosed and blue-collar. Hey, it worked for Anaheim two years ago. As for the Kings, they're in full rebuild mode. Lots of good looking kids on that roster. Just won't be ready until next year or the year after that
Chris (Sunnyvale, CA)
Will Vesa Toskala ever regain his top form and perform consistently enough to be a true No. 1 goalie?
Pierre LeBrun (4:24 PM)
Great question, he's been in a tailspin for a while now. He was terrific last year but hasn't regained that edge. I suspect he might be available come March 4 as well
Dave (Chicago Il)
If Leafs are shedding payroll, who is the big UFA's they are looking at next year?
Pierre LeBrun (4:25 PM)
Hard to say Dave since Burke hasn't taken over the job yet and make that determination either. But off the top of my head, Jay Bouwmeester is a top young blue-liner who is slated to be UFA.
Joe, Philly
Followup to the relocation suggestion. Moving teams around destroys their rivalries. The Flyers and Leafs had an amazing rivalry before the lockout and afterwards both teams were entirely different and the rivalry died. Flyers vs. Leafs used to be a highlight of the season for me and now it is not special anymore. Be careful what you wish for!
Pierre LeBrun (4:26 PM)
Joe, I agree Flyers-Leafs isn't the same anymore but that has nothing to do with re-location. Both teams are in the same conference and remain in their respective divisions just as before the lockout. The only reason the rivalry is dead is because the leafs have sucked since the lockout.
So, you're Ray Shero, what are your plans for the defensive core with Whitney and/or Gonchar returning soon. Letang and Goligoski get the most back in a trade, but others are UFA after this season.
Pierre LeBrun (4:27 PM)
Whitney is the guy I put on the market to see what I can fetch. But only after Gonchar is back and everyone is healthy. Would look for a top-six winger in return.
Joe (Pittsburgh)
What do you think the Penguins have to improve on to win this year? Do you think Marian Hossa will regret his decision to go to Detriot? Who do you think will win the Stanley Cup this year?
Pierre LeBrun (4:28 PM)
Joe, the Penguins have really impressed me in the way they've overcome the loss of Gonchar especially. He's a horse for them. And they've kept on winning again without Fleury for a second year in a row. But at this point Hossa still made the better odds-on choice. San Jose and Detroit are head and shoulders over any other team in the league right now
jason (chicago)
Hi Pierre, did you have a good time at the Roy ceremony?
Pierre LeBrun (4:28 PM)
Yes thanks Jason. I've been in the business 15 years and I've rarely see that kind of emotion in an NHL building. Very touching evening.
Don Columbus
Do you see the jackets in the playoffs this year as a competitive team or not or no playoffs at all
Pierre LeBrun (4:29 PM)
No playoffs this year Don, but they're finally on the right track. Next season I think they're in. Problem for them is that they're in the Western Conferfence, way better than the East where they'd have a shot this season
Joe, Philly
Hi Pierre. Sorry to keep bringing up Gaborik but this is not really a Gaborik question and more of a rules question. Many of the good teams are very close the the Salary cap. How does the cap hit work for a team that picks up a player like Gaborik and his roughly $6M contract midway through the season?
Pierre LeBrun (4:32 PM)
Excellent question Joe and one that is misunderstood by many fans I think. Basically, the deeper you go into the season, the easier it is for a team to pick up a big contract. The actual cap hit to a team is the number of days a player is on the active roster. So a $6-million player picked up halfway through the season is actually a $3-million cap hit, etc.. That's why there have been so many deals at the past few trade deadlines because the top teams finally enough cap space to acquire players
Nick (Dallas,Texas)
Is there any chance that the Stars will make the playoffs with Morrow out for six months. Also when will the Stars play defense and give Turco some help
Pierre LeBrun (4:34 PM)
So much talent on that team, it's stunning to see what is happening. But something's not right. There are dressin room issues there in my opinion. Still, they're six points out of the final spot with 62 games to play. Still lots of time.
Adam (Lake George, NY)
Another follow up on the relocation question. Boston and New York need to be in the same division. All major sports have that rivalry. Bring it to hockey!
Pierre LeBrun (4:34 PM)
That's true about the other sports Adam but for years the Bruins' main rival has been Montreal, which of course is unique to hockey. C'est la vie
john (NJ)
will jeff carter make the allstar team? does he deserve to?
Pierre LeBrun (4:35 PM)
Yes if he keeps up the goal scoring he'll be picked by the league I'm sure. (FYI, I spoke to Jeff for a blog that will be posted momentarily)
Chris (Sunnyvale, CA)
Is Joe Pavelski a darkhorse candidate for the United States in 2010?
Pierre LeBrun (4:36 PM)
No question. I'm not even sure he's a darkhorse. He should definitely be considered.
steve (seattle, wa)
Pierre, Are teams allowed to pay a portion of a players salary when they are traded? if not do you think they should change that so we can see more trades?
Pierre LeBrun (4:37 PM)
No, they are not allowed to pay a portion of a player's salary in a trade like other sports. That's why so few trades are made since the lockout in the first three months of the season. Brian Burke actually suggested at a GMs meeting that the rule be changed so some money could be absorbed in order to facilitate trades but the league's head office doesn't like the idea
Brandon ((West Hills,Ca))
When do you see the NHL adjusting the schedules abit more so they can promote their best players nationwide more? As it is now the west coast only sees the likes of a Sidney Crosby in person once every 2 seasons.
Pierre LeBrun (4:39 PM)
Brandon, this season's schedule is actually an improvement over the three seasons before that when some teams didn't see Crosby at all in an entire season. This season everyone plays everyone at least once if not twice. It's not too bad a compromise. The NHLPA has suggested an 84-game schedule where every single team plays at least a home-and-home with the other conference teams. That way you are guaranteed to see Crosby or Ovechkin or Zetterberg no matter where you live. It might come up at the Board of Governors meetings next month in West Palm Beach (I will be there :) )
Adam (San Jose)
What's going on with this talk about Claude Lemieux and a tryout with the Sharks? How does this benefit the Sharks at all? They picked up the veteran leadership in the offseason and Lemieux would only slow the team down.
Pierre LeBrun (4:41 PM)
I'm told it's a major long shot for him to ever make it up to San Jose. First of all, it's important to note that it's the AHL team that signed him, not the NHL team. LONG SHOT
Mike: (NYC)
Hey Pierre. Do you think any team is at all interested in Petr Prucha? He doesn't play and the Rangers need to dump some serious salary to even make an attempt at Sundin.
Pierre LeBrun (4:43 PM)
Prucha makes $1.6 million, which isn't too too much, and will be a free agent at season's end. So he shouldn't be that hard to move. But honestly I haven't heard his name at all. That doesn't mean he wont' move but I'm just saying he's not a name that's comes up when I talk to GMs.
jason thomas (thomas)
do u think tha sabres can get back to their winning ways like they started this year against a good bruins team...
Pierre LeBrun (4:44 PM)
They wont win again until they embrace Lindy Ruff's desire to play better defensively. If they continue to be a selfish, offense-only team they won't win games
Adam (Lake George, NY)
Does Team USA take a chance on Tim Connolly for the olympics? With all that open ice, those hands of his could really do some damage, assuming he's healthy.
Pierre LeBrun (4:45 PM)
Not unless he can stay healthy for a good chunk of October and November next season. Second of all, Vancouver 2010 is using NHL sized rinks so there won't be much open ice after all
Sean (Chicago)
Just read the MVP column for the 6th or 7th time and I am still expecting it to change... how did Patrick Kane not make EITHER top 10 list being top 5 in scoring?
Pierre LeBrun (4:46 PM)
Food for thought but there's more than scoring when it comes to MVP voting. But he is worthy of a look for sure
Richard (Edmonton, AB)
My brother (Tom Adams from the question above) was on TV last night fist pumping after two of the flames goals. Two part question: Is his fist pump as good as Tiger's? What value is his fist pump to the flames?
Pierre LeBrun (4:47 PM)
1. No 2. None
charles hammond (south caroilna)
will tom brady be back in 2009 and what to do predict for the patriots in 2009?
Pierre LeBrun (4:47 PM)
Don't care.
Iggy (Closter, NJ)
Am I the only one who thinks Sundin to the Rangers is a bad idea? I'd prefer to see an elite winger to spread Gomez, Drury and Dubinsky to 3 lines with a top wing at each one's side. Thoughts, Pierre?
Pierre LeBrun (4:48 PM)
Iggy, Sundin remains an awesome offensive force and a great leader. The Rangers need a bit more offense in their lineup. To me he'd be a great fit. Drury and Gomez on one line, Sundin and Naslund on the other, and Dubinsky and Zherdev on another. Now you'r e talking
Margie...Sacramento, CA.
HOw do you feel about people saying that this or that team didn't play well against the SHARKS because they were tired or alot of players were injured? It makes me angry that they can't admit the SHARKS are just better! Also, tired of hearing about the SHARKs "choke"' job of the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup play-offs! HOw do you like that new coach of the SHARKS! He is doing a great job! GOOOO SHARKS!
Pierre LeBrun (4:49 PM)
As many of you already know, I picked the Sharks to win the Cup in September when many people had stopped believing in them. They still have a lot to prove but so far so good. Todd McLellan is proving to be an excellent signing as head coach. The Sharks look organized and disciplined.
Sean (Chicago)
I know there's more to it than scoring but Kane plays a lot better 2 way hockey than he gets credit for.
Pierre LeBrun (4:50 PM)
Agreed. He'll look good on Team USA 2010 !
Margie....Sacramento, CA.
HOw soon do you think Ron Wilson can turn that toronto team around?
Pierre LeBrun (4:52 PM)
Great coach. But there's still lots of rebuilding to do here in Toroonto. I would say they'll sniffing a playoff spot maybe by 2010-11
Mike(San Diego)
What is in store for the future of my St. Louis Blues? Last night they were bailed out by Mason, but I love the attitude they're showing in their games gives me hope. I also like their "This is our house" mentality they showed with the 3 early fights in Anaheim. They may not be good yet, but I like their direction.
Pierre LeBrun (4:52 PM)
Well they won't make the playoffs this year but I like what they're doing. Totally hammered by key injuries this year, from Erik Johnson to Paul Kariya to Andy McDonald. Tough to win when that happens
Sean, Boston
Hi Pierre- A follow up to the question earlier about the cap. If my team started the year with 3 mil in cap space. Does that mean come the trade deadline i can pick up a 3m salary? Or can i pick up a 6m salary who is now only owed 3m because another team payed his salary the first part of the year?
Pierre LeBrun (4:53 PM)
Yes $3 million in cap space at the trade deadline is more like $12 million in cap space if you know what I mean. Cause the incoming players only count against the cap for about one fourth of the season
Ron, Pittsburgh
Zetterberg, Franzen, Hossa. I've read that Holland doesn't view Hossa as the rental he once did, which makes a lot of sense to me. However, I don't see any way that the Wings can keep Hossa and Zetterberg, even without Franzen in the mix. With their cap situation, I see either Zetterberg/Hossa and Franzen, and I'll eat my foot if they let Zetterberg go.
Pierre LeBrun (4:55 PM)
Ron I cal tell you from my talks with Holland that you're right, he wants to try and keep all three. But it will be tough. Zetterberg is priority No. 1 and they've been exchanging coutner-proposals. Should hopefully get done over the next few weeks. Hossa they can't talk to until January because he signed a one-year deal last summer. They're talking to Franzen right now. It'll be tough but one thing Holland can do is trade a few bodies next summer to make room for Hossa.
Pierre LeBrun (4:56 PM)
OK guys, that's it for this week. Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. Cheers

Apalone is a genus in the Trionychidae family of turtles. They are native to North America, where they are the only extant softshell turtles.
Geographic range[edit]
Apalone species are native primarily to the United States, though they are also found in parts of southern Canada and northern Mexico.
Apalone is a fairly new classification, resurrected by Meylan in 1987,[2] assigned to North American species of the genus Trionyx, though they are still listed as Trionyx in some texts. (Trionyx now refers specifically to certain softshell species found mainly in Africa.)
Sexual dimorphism[edit]
Turtles of the genus Apalone exhibit marked sexual dimorphism. In carapace length, females grow to about twice the size of males. In males, the claws on the front feet are longer than those on the back feet, but in females, the claws on the back feet are longer. In males, the stout tail extends well beyond the posterior edge of the carapace, but in females, the relatively thinner tail barely reaches the edge of the carapace.[3]
Apalone are fast swimmers that chase down their prey in water. They feed mainly on fish. They also like the comfort of sand as their bedding.
- Florida softshell turtle (Apalone ferox) - South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.
- Smooth softshell turtle (Apalone mutica) - United States, east of the Rocky Mountains.
- Spiny softshell turtle (Apalone spinifera) - Canada (southern Ontario and Quebec), most of the United States, and northeastern Mexico.
