Case for zones still not apparent
9:51am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Letters
I ATTENDED the recent meeting at Woodthorpe School regarding "20s Plenty".
Coun Anna Semlyen was very proud of her formula that included speed as a factor when looking at the effect of impact when a vehicle collides with something.
Another factor is mass, so does that mean the speed limit for buses and lorries should be lower than that for cars?
She says that she does not have a car and, as she lives in the city centre. Perhaps she should listen before she inflicts her opinions on people who live further away. She said they wanted to encourage more people to walk and cycle, yet they have stopped filling the salt bins. Perhaps she doesn't know what the Acomb pavements are like in winter.
The argument "for" boiled down to the fact that it was a policy in the Labour manifesto so since Labour were voted in, we must want the speed limits. In fact it was more a case of being fed up with the Liberal Democrats.
The council has still to provide statistics that speed is a factor in accidents in the area. In most cases accidents were at junctions where speed was unlikely to be a factor. There are probably more broken bones from falls on the icy pavements.
I would much sooner see the £600,000 spent on facilities for the elderly and disabled.

Lets not also forget that most cars are designed to help protect people in the event of a collision, with energy absorbing bumpers and bonnet areas. Vans, trucks, lorries, and buses are not, so perhaps these need to be restricted from residential roads/school areas in some form?

This afternoon, when asked about Republicans intension to include Keystone legislation in the end of the year proposal Leader Pelosi said, the Keystone provision "has no place on this bill. Let's get serious."
Get serious? Unemployment has been over 8.5% for the past 33 months, yet, the President and the Democrat Leader object to a bipartisan measure that received support from 47 House Democrats and will put tens of thousands of Americans back to work. Looks like the Democrats' slogan has changed from "we can't wait" to "jobs can wait."
• Nancy Pelosi: "The President has said he will veto a bill that has the Keystone Pipeline in it. That doesn't make a decision as to whether you are for it or against it, it has no place on this bill. Let's get serious."
Reminder - Leader Cantor: "If the President is serious about his commitment to economic growth and jobs in this country, he'll sign this bill."
The President's Decision On Keystone Denies Americans 20,000 Immediately Produced Well-Paying Jobs. The Obama administration's decision to postpone a ruling on the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline till 2013 is a poorly disguised political punt. The ruling has 2012 presidential politics written all over it … By delaying a decision on the $7 billion project, which is "shovel-ready" and would immediately produce an estimated 20,000 well-paying jobs in this country has avoided offending environmentalists on his party's left, a key fund-raising and voting bloc. Many of those 20,000 jobs on the construction of the pipeline would have been filled by skilled union members. Eventually, the completed pipeline was expected to result in as many as 130,000 jobs, many of them on the upper Texas Coast, where the heavy oil would be refined into 700,000 barrels of oil daily. Postponement of a decision on Keystone is an opportunity missed for this administration to create needed jobs and enhance energy security. It is a shortsighted call. (The Houston Chronicle, 11/11/11)
• President Obama Voted Present On 20,000 Opportunities To Put Americans Back To Work. President Obama used to be fond of "shovel-ready projects." He's also demanding that Congress pass his jobs bill immediately because 9% unemployment is a crisis, and, by the way, he's for making the U.S. less reliant on energy from tyrants. So how about putting 20,000 Americans to work on a North American energy project that's as shovel-ready as they come? Sorry, Mr. Obama is voting present. (The Wall Street Journal, 11/14/11)
Canadian Ambassador To The United States: The Keystone Pipeline Will Produce 20,000 Construction Jobs and 100,000 Indirect Jobs In Services and Supplies. Gary Doer, the Canadian ambassador to the United States, said building the pipeline would produce 20,000 construction jobs and 100,000 additional indirect jobs in services and supplies. "It's good for the U.S. economy, U.S. jobs and U.S. energy security," he said. "If you ask Americans, would you choose Canada over the Middle East, they'd say yes." (The New York Times, 8/26/11)

For Town Meeting in June, the Finance Committee voted to reject a proposed $4.3 million in energy savings projects in various buildings around town, and voters followed their lead and rejected the ESCO -- energy savings company -- projects.
Maylor pledged to push forward with the proposed ESCO projects, hoping to sway the Finance Committee and eventually the voters.
Last week, the Finance Committee voted to approve the ESCO projects.
"I think what the Finance Committee communicated [at Town Meeting] was that this was a substantial project that had a lot of moving parts," Maylor said. With more than 80 projects in the ESCO proposal, Maylor said there wasn't enough time before Town Meeting to go over them in detail enough to make the Finance Committee comfortable with the large price tag. And at Town Meeting, the Finance Committee rejected it saying they needed more time.
Maylor said he met with the Finance Committee in the fall and answered their questions about the cost and savings of the proposal, pointing out that Reading and Lowell have done similar energy savings projects and have seen dramatic savings as a result.
The ESCO project would include energy management and energy savings initiatives, as well as infrastructure upgrades (including new lighting and new air units). The money spent on it was guaranteed to be paid over the next 15 years from projected energy savings.
Energy Performance Contracting is a type of project that provides a comprehensive set of energy efficiency and renewable energy measures and often offers a guarantee that the savings produced by a project will finance the full cost of it.
Massachusetts state law requires that an EPC project be delivered by a qualified Energy Service Company (ESCO). The company that was to deliver North Andover's ESCO project was Peregrine Energy Group, a company that serves as regional energy management for the 15 communities within the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission.

Duke has 2013 stud Julius Randle on their radar
By Andrew Slater on May 17, 2011
The advent of the internet and social media has created a more level playing field where information is dissipated in terms of seconds and minutes rather than days or months. It's helped accelerate the potential boom and bust cycle of recruit's reputations. A player needs to continue to improve and stave off of his chasing […]

Spoken like a true blue liberal. You are a real piece of work. Can you explain to me what the Boston bombing has to do with the NRA and gun control. It's very hard for me to understand how a person could at this time of sorrow for those killed and wounded could ever relate the two subjects in one thought. If every man, woman, and child had been carrying a gun that day those same folks would still be dead or wounded.
As for the Senate my response to you is that finally they listened to those who elected them to do the right thing. The coward Democrats are so afraid they will get on the wrong side of the (president) and lose all their money he keeps giving away, that we don't have. They're running scared. He's headed us toward a Marxist form of government and the many are so blind or incompetent they can't or don't care or on the freebie roles. But we the few will be there to fight the battle for you.
I wrote this letter and I bought and paid for my T-shirt that reads: "PRESIDENT'S ENEMY LIST
"Defend the Constitution, promote free enterprise and nurture individual liberty."
And I approve this letter.

Individual direct biomarkers of bone metabolism: Biomarkers of anabolic processes
During typical Type-I collagen synthesis, as with Type-II collagen, cleavage of carboxy-and amino-terminal propeptides (PICP
and PINP, respectively) of the procollagen molecule occurs, and these cleaved propeptide fragments can be exploited as markers
reflective of bone formation.
In a preliminary study in the United Kingdom, PICP was shown to have potential value as a molecular marker for monitoring
changes in matrix turnover after tendon injury, and increases in PICP with age and exercise also have been demonstrated.
In a study in our laboratory where various serum markers were used to differentiate changes with exercise from pathologic
change in joints, concentrations of osteocalcin and CS-846 provided the best correlation to the modified Mankin score (r2
= 0.72) and clinical degree of pain (r2 = 0.70) using multivariate linear regression (step-wise model selection).
Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) is expressed at high concentrations on the cell surface in bone, forming osteoblasts.
In a study with treadmill exercise in young horses, serum BAP amounts were not different between exercise and control groups,
although previously there had been a suggestion that there was a correlation between amounts of BAP and the amount of arthroscopically
defined joint damage.
Biomarkers of catabolic processes
The release of a fragment of the Type-I collagen non-helical telopeptide (ICTP), which includes the collagen cross-linking
region, has been evaluated as a marker of bone resorption in humans (Garnero et al., 1999). Concentrations of ICTP in the
horse have not been shown of value in detecting pathological processes in another study conducted in the United Kingdom.
Although Type-I collagen C-telopeptide (CTX-1) has been useful in identifying bone resorption in humans, in the CSU horse
OA model, CTX was less useful than CS846, CPII and GAG biomarker concentrations in predicting whether a horse was from a control,
exercised or an osteoarthritic horse.
Other work in our laboratory has identified CPII and CTX-1 as potential serum indicators of the exercise effects on the developing
skeletal system in young horses. Higher serum concentrations of CTX-1 and lower concentrations of CPII were found in trained
foals compared to other groups, but these differences later disappeared during an additional six months of identical exercise
(Billinghurst et al., 2003).
Predicting fractures
One of the latest principal aims of biomarker research at CSU has been to diagnose early subchondral bone disease and thereby
potentially predict fracture. This was the basis of a study funded by the Grayson-Jockey Club Foundation and carried out with
racing Thoroughbreds in Southern California.
Monthly lameness examinations and serum collections were performed in 238 2- and 3-year old Thoroughbred racehorses. Exit
criteria were lack of training for greater than 30 days or completion of 10 study months. Horses with solitary musculoskeletal
injuries and completion of greater than two months were analyzed and compared to aged matches, sex-matched controls.
Seven biomarkers were used for examination, including serum glycosaminoglycans (GAG), Type-I and II collagen degradation (C1,
2C), Type II collagen synthesis (CPII), Type II collagen degradation (ColCEQ), aggrecan synthesis (CS846), osteocalcin (OC)
as a marker of bone formation and CTX-1 of bone degradation.
Fifty-nine horses sustained a single musculoskeletal injury, and 71 acted as uninjured controls. Based on the injured horses,
16 (27 percent) sustained an intra-articular fracture, 17 (29 percent) a tendon or ligamentous injury, 7 (12 percent) a stress
fracture and 19 (32 percent) were diagnosed with dorsal metacarpal disease (DMD).
Control population showed a longitudinal increase in GAG and a decrease in OC. Horses with intra-articular fractures showed
a decrease in CS846 and an increase in OC and CTX compared to the control population. Horses with tendon or ligamentous injuries
demonstrated a decrease in GAG and an increase in CTX1 when compared to the control population. Horses diagnosed with stress
fractures showed an increase in CTX when compared to the control population, and horses with dorsometacarpal disease demonstrated
a decrease in CS846 and GAG, as well as an increase in OC and CTX1.
The greatest change in biomarker levels appeared to be four to six months prior to injury.
This study is the first step toward development of a biomarker screening platform that can be used to identify horses at risk
for fracture.
New forms of biomarkers
Gene-chip microarray is the latest advance in biomarkers and represents a molecular approach to defining a disease process.
The principle is to have an array of a large number of gene sequences (cDNAs) on a computer chip. The entire equine genome
is currently available, and gene chips for microarray have been developed. The production of such chips facilitates the simultaneous
relative quantitation of multiple mRNAs and allows for comprehensive assessment of expression amounts.
In recent work from our laboratory, the potential usefulness of gene-chip microarray as a diagnostic tool in OA has been explored.
Blood samples were taken during the development of experimental OA (using the carpal chip fragment exercise model) in the
horse, and we were able to identify notable upregulation of 18 different genes in the OA group compared to the controls.
This change in gene expression started early in the development of the osteoarthritic disease process. It is envisioned that
this ability will be combined with conventional immunologic biomarkers (previously discussed) to provide a diagnostic platform
for OA and other diseases.
Other options being explored as biomarkers include proteonomics and metabolomics.

Firearms and domestic safety
This paper notes that many Americans believe that gun ownership is necessary to protect their family and themselves. The concept is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Stephen Lippmann and his co-authors who are based in Louisville, Kentucky review the evidence and reach the conclusion that domestic firearm ownership results in more deaths to the owner and/or family members than to intruders.
They produce frightening evidence to support their view. For example, intimate partner homicide is increased fivefold in gun owner households and the female suicide rate is increased threefold. And approximately 15 children or adolescents die from firearm-related causes every day in the United States.

Is coronary artery calcium assessment useful in the evaluation of chest pain?
Chest pain is a common cause for presentation at the emergency department. Its evaluation is often difficult as there may be no abnormal physical findings, a normal ECG and the initial cardiac injury markers may not be raised. Cardiac stress testing is not infallible. In this context the authors of this paper point out that coronary artery calcium (CAC) correlates directly with coronary atherosclerosis and is a marker of plaque burden. And quantification of CAC with cardiac computed tomography (CT) is sensitive, accurate and reproducible.
The study involved 263 men and women presenting with chest pain and low to moderate probability of coronary artery disease. 133 (51%) demonstrated no CAC and only one of these was later shown to have a cardiac cause for their chest pain. On the other hand 30/31 (97%) of those shown to have active coronary artery disease had evidence of CAC on CT. At 5-year follow-up none of the 132 subjects with no CAC had developed coronary artery disease problems.

More about the concurrent use of clopidogrel and proton-pump inhibitors
Clopidogrel is recommended for patients with significant coronary artery disease. Because of the haemorrhagic risks involved proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed with clopidogrel to reduce the risk for serious gastroduodenal bleeding. The biotransformation of clopidogrel to its active metabolite requires the hepatic cytochrome P450 2C19 isoenzyme and this may be adversely affected by the concomitant use of PPIs.
This study aims to throw light on the issue by evaluating outcomes in 20569 patients (including 7593 concurrent users of clopidogrel and PPIs) hospitalised for myocardial infarction, coronary artery revascularisation, or unstable angina pectoris. Gastroduodenal bleeding requiring admission to hospital was 50% lower in those taking PPIs, and there was no clear cut increased risk for serious cardiovascular events in those taking PPIs.

Is percutaneous coronary intervention better than medical treatment in relieving angina?
The authors of this meta-analysis state that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been compared with medical treatment by other reviewers and found to be not superior in terms of death, myocardial infarction and repeated coronary revascularization. Their review focuses on the relief of angina. They pooled data from 14 trials involving 7818 patients and found that PCI was superior and was associated with an overall benefit on angina relief (odds ratio 1.69). However, they note an attenuation of this benefit in the more recent trials. They attribute this to better use of evidence-based medical treatments in the latter trials.

Can nateglinide or valsartan prevent patients with impaired glucose tolerance developing diabetes mellitus?
Nateglinide is a short-acting insulin secretagogue and there are theoretical reasons to expect that it might prevent or delay diabetes development in such patients. In this English study over 9000 such patients were randomised to this drug or placebo, together with lifestyle modifications over a 5-year period. Sadly there was no reduction in incidence of diabetes or cardiovascular complications.
The second study, from North Carolina tested the same hypothesis with valsartan, which is a renin-antiogensin system blocker, over a 5-year period. There was a reduction of 14% in the incidence of diabetes but no reduction in the rate of cardiovascular events.
An editorial review points out that both reports were components of a single study—the Nateglinide and Valsartan in Impaired Glucose Tolerance Outcomes Research (NAVIGATOR) Study. Also in each study some of the placebo arm patients were taking the alternative medication. The reviewer recommends that neither drug should be used in such patients.

The Independent
The team wearing the bull's-eye all season lived up to the challenge.
A year after going unbeaten in the 16th Region, Ashland's Kittens won 17 of 18 region matchups including hard-fought victories over rival Boyd County in the 64th District and region finals.
Coaches responded by voting Bill Bradley the All-Area Coach of the Year for a third consecutive time, while dynamic sophomore point guard Alexis Robinson won her first Player of the Year award.
"I've been very fortunate," said Bradley, adding that Ashland's program has benefited from a run of very good players as well as cohesiveness with the coaching staff.
For the second year in a row, the Kittens will be sending two players to the college basketball ranks — Kaylyn Gambill (Rio Grande) and Allie Slone (Kentucky Christian). Last season, it was Mykal Farris (Georgetown) and Julia Heaberlin (Rio Grande). And the year prior to that, Katelyn Connor signed with (Division I) Coastal Carolina.
"We've had some serious talent. Another thing is, the core staff has been together seven years," said Bradley, whose assistants include Phil Wittich, Dale White, Kimberly Owen and Stephanie DeWitt. "I think that's a major correlation to success, just the stability."
The Kittens finished 25-7 — their third straight season with at least 25 wins.
"After winning (the region) last year, we talked to the girls about the target being on your back and getting everybody's best shot," Bradley said.
That meant even beyond the 16th Region.
"Some other local teams we played this season, like Ironton, Fairland and South Point, the crowds were bigger and there was a little more buzz," Bradley said.
Bradley also noticed an increase in attention during Ashland's appearance in Lexington Catholic's Republic Bank Holiday Classic, one of the state's premier regular-season girls tournaments. While there, the Kittens knocked off Louisville Mercy 71-52.
"Coaches from Louisville and Lexington would come up and talk to us, so our reputation had gotten pretty decent," Bradley said. "The girls could tell a difference also, as far as respect around the state."
Ashland had to earn its way back to Bowling Green with regional tournament wins at Morehead State University over hometown Rowan County, Lewis County (coming off a victory over East Carter) and, finally, a championship showdown with Boyd County for the third year in a row.
"That was a monster game," Bradley said. "It was pressure-packed, and came down to the end, like we thought it would."
With the score tied, the Kittens worked the clock down inside the final minute before Slone was fouled going to the basket with 21 seconds left. She made both free throws and Ashland held on for a 54-52 victory.
"We knocked over a minute off the clock, with all five handling it," Bradley said. "Nobody panicked. Alexis trusted her teammates. She's so basketball savvy."
Robinson repeated as 16th Region Tournament MVP with 37 points, 31 rebounds, 13 assists and five 3-pointers in the three games. For the season, she averaged 12.5 points and 7.2 rebounds.
Robinson is the first Kittens player to be selected All-Area Player of the Year since Laisha Ward in 2008. Bradley continues to be impressed with the 5-foot-8 playmaker's inner drive.
"Alexis wants to get better every day, and that's no exaggeration," he said. "Over the summer, she worked tremendously hard on her 3-point shooting to make that another key part of her game. People saw the results."
Robinson connected 43 times from behind the arc this season, including a deep three on the Kittens' opening possession of the regional championship game.
The wiry Robinson's next project is improving her strength and conditioning.
"At state, she got hit a few times and didn't finish," Bradley said of the Kittens' 60-49 first-round loss to Montgomery County. "Alexis wants to go to a big-time college. She knows she has to be able to take a hit."
Robinson is taking her AAU game to another level by joining the prestigious Kentucky Premier squad after previously playing for West Virginia Thunder.
"It's a pretty big honor," Robinson said. "It's going to help a lot. Playing against some of the best players in the country will get me prepared for college."
Gambill and post player Haley Sue Foutch also represented Ashland on the All-Area team.
Gambill, a three-time selection, averaged 10.5 points and made 72 three-pointers to boost her career total to 336.
"Kaylyn has been with me five years and made so many big shots during her career," Bradley said. "Her defense improved so much, along with her ability to take the ball to the basket, all at 107 pounds. She's pretty resilient for being that small."
Gambill, among the top scorers in school history, was named the 16th Region's top senior by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches. She's part of Ashland's seven-member senior class that figured prominently in the team's success.
"I'm going to miss them a lot," Robinson said. "They are all like my sisters."
Next season, the Kittens will build around their two standout juniors. Foutch averaged 10.4 points as a sophomore while shooting 55 percent from the field. She also pulled down six rebounds per game.
Boyd County tied Ashland with three All-Area picks.
Taylor Wheeler, who averaged 16 points and 4.8 rebounds, has been chosen to play for the Kentucky Junior All-Star team against Indiana.
Sophomore shooting guard Logan Fraley hit 81 three-pointers as the Lady Lions finished 26-9. Fraley, who earned All-Area honors for the third time, averaged 13.1 points and shot 75 percent at the foul line.
Senior Emily Stewart energized Boyd County from the point guard position with her ballhandling, scoring, defense and rebounding.
Murray State University signee Taylor Porter, of Lawrence County, scored at a 25.3 clip to lead the area. She hit 97 treys, made 81 percent of her free throws and also averaged 5.7 rebounds for the Lady Bulldogs (23-8). Porter earned a spot on the Kentucky Senior All-Star squad.
East Carter, a 24-game winner, and Lewis County each had two players chosen on the All-Area team.
Lady Raiders point guard Kristen Mayo, an eighth-grader, was named Eastern Kentucky Conference Player of the Year. She averaged 11 points, four assists and three steals. Teammate Bryana Greenhill, the EKC Defensive Player of the Year, chipped in 10 points, four steals and three assists per game for the 62nd District winners.
Lewis County's Savannah Anderson received EKC Offensive Player of the Year honors following a sophomore season in which she averaged a double-double (15.7 point, 10.8 rebounds).
Senior Taylor Frye averaged 12.5 points, two assists and shot 78 percent from the foul line for the Lady Lions, who went 18-13.
Bath County's Sarah Price had a big freshman season, including 14.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, while Russell senior Arden Gross scored her 1,000th career point and averaged 14 points and seven rebounds for the 63rd District champs.
Other selections included: Johnson Central's Amber Shepherd (19.1 ppg 3.1 rpg); Menifee County's Paige Warren (17.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg); Greenup County's Destiny Jones (16.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg); West Carter's Brooke Callihan (12.7 ppg); Rowan County's Faith Conn (15.6 ppg, 9.5 rpg); and Fleming County's Tierra Taylor, who averaged 10.4 points and helped lead the inexperienced Lady Panthers to the 61st District title.

Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren isn't backing down from her claim of Native American ancestry, despite the apparent lack of primary documents proving that she's 1/32nd Cherokee.
Originally published on Wed May 9, 2012 8:44 am
In the tight U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts, Democrat Elizabeth Warren has been playing defense because of allegations that she used her Native American heritage to advance her career.
Warren, the likely Democratic challenger to incumbent Republican Scott Brown, says she did not know that Harvard Law School touted her as a member of a minority group back in the 1990s, when the school's faculty came under criticism for being too white.
But Warren says that when she was growing up in Oklahoma, her family always told her that she's part Cherokee.

Since the 1900s, the country's most iconic bridges and skyscrapers have been put up by men who risked life and limb to connect steel beams hundreds of feet in the sky. Ironworkers come from all backgrounds, but a small Indian reserve outside Montreal has supplied the U.S. with a proud lineage of Mohawk ironworkers.

Background: Dysthymic disorder is a chronic depression that is usually characterized by depression rating scale scores that are lower than those for major depressive disorder. Recent studies suggest that pharmacotherapy is quite effective in the treatment of patients with this condition and, in particular, that the newer antidepressants may be better tolerated than older tricyclic antidepressants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of a structurally novel antidepressant, venlafaxine, in the treatment of dysthymic disorder.
Method: Seventeen patients with dysthymic disorder were entered into the study, and 14 completed it. A psychiatric interview was used to establish diagnosis, and behavior was assessed by using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Patients were seen over a 9-week period, and venlafaxine treatment proceeded on an open-label basis, from a starting dose of 18.75 mg b.i.d. to a maximum dose of 225 mg/day.
Results: Two patients discontinued early because of side effects, and 1 patient took a single dose, felt better, and did not complete the trial. Analyses of all 17 patients showed significant improvement in HAM-D and BDI scores at the end of the study. Among the completers, there were two response patterns: one group of 7 patients responded quickly to low-dose (75 mg) venlafaxine, and a second group of 7 required the maximum dose. Three of the 7 high-dose patients showed considerable improvement. Side effects in this study were generally in keeping with what has been reported using venlafaxine in treatment of major depressive disorder. No patients evidenced increased blood pressure.
Conclusion: Our study supports the treatment of dysthymic patients with venlafaxine, which has equal efficacy and greater tolerability than tricyclic antidepressants.

State of the New York Rangers: NHL Trade Deadline Edition
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 28th, 2012
Here is the 3rd installment of our expanded NHL Trade Deadline coverage. We'll be posting team outlooks leading up to trade deadline over the next couple weeks from a variety of contributing writers.
Written by Patrick Kearns of TheFourthPeriod.com and can be found on twitter at @PatrickKearns
In an era of armchair video game General Managers, it's hard not to pick through every trade rumor with a fine-toothed comb to improve your team's "overall" rating by lobbying for any player you believe would be an upgrade. This of course does not take chemistry into consideration, and with the New York Rangers building towards contention, it may be best to leave the roster alone. At the all-star break the team sits atop the Eastern Conference in points, and has the highest winning percentage in the NHL.
When the New York Rangers' CEO James Dolan appeared at the podium before reporters after a win against the Nashville Predators a short time ago, he explained that he and General Manager Glen Sather's plan was finally coming to fruition.
"In 2004, things weren't going so well," Dolan explained hitting the nail on the obvious head. "We decided to re-do the strategy… It's all about the system that [Glen Sather] built. It's about the farm system, and the scouting system and development. It's about going with the kids, and sticking with that philosophy."
Needless to say, when the man signing the paychecks starts buying into the team philosophy, it seems like an awful idea to betray what has gotten the team this far.
If Canes go with a total rebuild, could Ward be moved? Canucks-Wings may have interest Moen … Sidney skates … Peckham rumors
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 28th, 2012
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Garrioch touches on Suter saying he won't sign a deal before the deadline. The Preds could move his rights at the draft, and the Flyers would definitely be interested. If the Sabres decide to trade Derek Roy, there should be plenty of interest. The Panthers could be looking for a defenseman, and Jaroslav Spacek could be a target. If the Hurricanes decide on a total rebuild, Eric Staal isn't going anywhere, but some are wondering if Cam Ward will be part of the solution. He has a $6.3 million cap hit through 2014-15 and there would be interest. All of the Islanders pending UFAs are being shopped, including" P.A. Parenteau, Frans Nielsen, Mark Eaton and Steve Staois. The Canadiens would move Andrei Kostitsyn in a heartbeat.
- Darren Dreger of TSN: (mailbag) LeBrun noted that the Canucks would like a guy like Travis Moen. Dreger adds that the Red Wings will/have shown some interest in Moen. The Wings could show interest in Brendan Morrow if he's available. Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier is willing to move pending UFAs in Hal Gill, Chris Campoli, Travis Moen and Andrei Kostitsyn. They could have interest in Derek Roy.
- Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Penguins center Sidney Crosby has started skating in Los Angeles. Crosby is in LA meeting with a neurological spine surgeon. Crosby also skated last week while he was in Atlanta visiting a chiropractor who specializes in neurological treatment. There is still no timetable on his return and GM Rya Shero said he won't return until he's symptom free.
- Jonathan Willis of the Edmonton Journal: Willis touches on Garrioch's mention that Oilers defenseman Theo Peckham is getting some interest. He has a physical edge and he can kill penalties, but he is also on the bottom pairing of a weak team. If the Oilers do have interest in trading him, it may be because Colten Teubert is on his way. The Oilers likely won't get much in return for him if they do move him.
Suter won't sign deal before deadline … Crazy Perry to Canucks rumor … Clowe not moving … Johnson – van Riemsdyk rumor … Pending UFA Dman list
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Rumors on January 28th, 2012
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Predators defenseman Ryan Suter said he won't sign a contract extension before the trade deadline.
"I feel it would be more of a distraction than anything," Suter said of signing now. "We've never had a timeline or deadline. We're just focusing on winning. Everything else will take care of itself."
"I don't see it being a benefit by hurrying up and trying to get something done," Suter confirmed. "I'm a Nashville Predator until July. I will focus on making my team better."
The Preds do have on of the lowest payrolls, but GM David Poile says that have the go ahead from ownership to change that.
"I think that's the hardest part, you look at the past and seeing guys go through your team like Forsberg, Timonen, Hartnell — you go down the list, all you see is guys leaving," Weber said. "You want to believe him [Poile], they've got the right things in mind. If they say they're going to do it [increase payroll], then they should do it and we've got to trust them."
- David Pollak via twitter: A Sharks source says there is "zero chance" that Ryane Clowe is available for trade before the trade deadline.
- Chris Botta via twitter: Botta hasn't heard of the Corey Perry to Vancouver rumors, and doubts it would be Ducks GM Bob Murray's to team to trade him to.
- Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: Enrico Ciccone on a TV said that Patrice Brisebois claims a trade is being considered between the Ducks and Canucks. The Ducks would trade Corey Perry for Cory Schneider, Mason Raymond and Keith Ballard.
- Dennis Bernstein via twitter: Jeff Carter's name has been connected to the Kings, but Bernstein wouldn't bring him in.
- Dennis Bernstein via twitter: Bernstein doesn't believe there is anything to the Jack Johnson for James van Riemsdyk rumor, but the Flyers are definitely shopping him.
- Mike Boone of the Montreal Gazette: Boone thinks the Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier shouldn't think about trading defenseman P.K. Subban.
- Jason Brough of Pro Hockey Talk: Brough lists some pending UFAs that could be available: Hal Gill, Pavel Kubina, Tim Gleason, Bryan Allen, Adrian Aucoin, Andy Sutton, Chris Campoli, Steve Staios, Milan Jurcina and Brett Clark.
- David Staples of the Edmonton Journal: There have been rumors of the Maple Leafs have an interest in Sam Gagner. The Oilers are looking for a defenseman, and should look at Carl Gunnarsson or Luke Schenn. Schenn's name as been in the rumors more often than Gunnarsson of late.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: Marty Turco signed with EC Redbull Salzburg, but he has an out clause until the trade deadline.
The Blackhawks have traded for Brendan Morrison
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Trades on January 27th, 2012
The Chicago Blackhawks have acquired center Brendan Morrison from the Calgary Flames for defenseman Brian Connelly.
Morrison has a $1.25 million salary cap hit and will be a UFA at the end of the season. He'll likely center the 'Hawks 2nd line, possibly the 3rd line if the feel Bolland is the #2.
Connelly carries a $525,000 NHL cap hit, and will be a RFA at the end of the season.
James Mirtle via twitter: Flames GM Jay Feaster: "Given his pending UFA status and the fact that we were not going to re-sign him, we felt it important to try to move him."
Brendan Morrison
Brian Connelly
Could the Leafs be looking at Clowe? Rutherford wants a ton … No serious talks with Karlson … Peckham, Sutton getting interest … A Miller for Hiller swap?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Rumors on January 27th, 2012
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
- Only a few GM's are in Ottawa, Brian Burke is one of them, and everyone is waiting for him to make a move.
"He's trying. He's trying hard. He definitely wants to get bigger," a league executive said Thursday.
The Leafs would love to bring in a hard-nosed forward. A guy they could look at is Sharks winger Ryane Clowe. Clowe has 1 year left at a $3.625 million cap hit. There is word that he might be someone the Sharks could look at moving. It might take more than the Leafs want to offer San Jose to get him though. The Leafs would likely have interest in Tuomo Ruutu. The Hurricanes have talked to Ruutu about a contract extension but it's believed he's asking for too much on a long-term deal, so he'll likely be traded.
- League sources are saying that Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford is asking a ton for his UFA defenseman. A league source said that Hurricanes are asking for 2 1st round picks or a 1st round pick and an 'A' prospect for one of Tim Gleason, Bryan Allen or Jaroslav Spacek. The asking price will come down.
- The Blue Jackets would move center Antoine Vermette. He's been available all season.
- The Senators and defenseman Erik Karlsson's camp haven't had any serious contract talks. It will likely wait until after the season.
- The Oilers are getting interest in defenseman Theo Peckham and Andy Sutton. Sutton will be a UFA at the end of the year. Peckham will be an RFA, and there are plenty of teams looking for help on the blueline.
- The Ducks, Blackhawks and Lightning could be looking for goaltending help, so keep an eye on Ryan Miller. The Sabres aren't shopping him, but they'll have to decide soon if they are in the playoff hunt or not. A Miller for Jonas Hiller trade could be possible.
Morrow available? List of players who "could actually impact the playoff races" … Parise not getting traded … Blake drawing interest … 3 "serious" buyers for Coyotes
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on January 27th, 2012
- Bob McKenzie of TSN: There is some talk around the league that Stars forward Brenden Morrow "may" become available before the trade deadline. The Stars are in 10th spot, but only 3 points out and have played less games. Morrow has a no-trade clause and one more year left with a $4.1 cap hit. The Stars won't aggressively shop him, but contenders could target him. If the Stars could get a nice young package for him, and if he'd agree to it, they would have to consider it. A Stars source said they're "probably not" going to trade him. One team executive heard:
"Morrow might be available" and "we certainly intend to find out if he is."
- Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Gordon lists some players that "could actually impact the playoff races": Mikhail Grabovski, Nikolai Kulemin, Antoine Vermette, Andrei Kostitsyn, Martin Havlat, Mason Raymond, Evgeni Nabokov, Luke Schenn, Tim Gleason, Antero Niittymaki, Hal Gill, and Marek Zidlicky.
- Roger Hensley of the St. Louis Post Dispatch: If the Blues need to add a proven scorer is a tough question to answer. Will they be fine when Alex Steen and Andy McDonald return from injury? There may not be a lot of legit scores that are available, and what would be the cost to get one? If Steen and McDonald return, Hensley doesn't think they need to bring in scoring help, but if they don't, they may need to explore some other options.
- Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger: Devils goalie Martin Brodeur has said he's having fun this year and is leaning towards coming next year. Chere notes that Zach Parise won't be dealt at the trade deadline, but the odds of him re-signing with them are 50-50.
- Jason Botchford in the National Post: Canucks forward Mason Raymond has battled his way back from a broken back this year, but he hasn't been producing and could find his days in Vancouver numbered. He's well liked, a good penalty killer, has good wheels, but has only scored 33 goals in his last 171 games.
- Chris Botta via twitter: Ducks Jason Blake is getting some trade interest. Botta notes that the Ducks got better when he returned from injury.
- Tim Sassone via twitter: If Ducks Jason Blake is available, Sassone thinks he'd look good as the Blackhawks 2nd line center. He wonders if Bob Murray would trade with Stan Bowman. (I don't think Blake has played center at any point in his NHL career)
- John Wawrow (AP) in the Globe and Mail: Gary Bettman says there are 3 groups that are showing "serious" interest in the buying the Coyotes that would keep the team there. One of the groups is led by former Sharks president and CEO Greg Jamison and the other is Jerry Reinsdorf.
"We're going to try to avoid a move of the Coyotes, but if we don't sell the club, I'm not sure that this won't be the last season here," he said.
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Senators captain on Daniel Alfredsson on playing next year:
"The way this season is going, if I'm still healthy after this season, I'm hoping I can go one more," said Alfredsson. "This year has been so good. If we can make the playoffs, that would almost be a dream come true."
- David Pollak via twitter: The Sharks have traded defenseman Sean Sullivan to the Panthers for Tim Kennedy.
Strategies from the NHL's Top General Managers – Brian Burke
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Videos on January 26th, 2012
Posted by Rotman School: How Winners are Built: Plays and Strategies From the NHL's Top General Managers
State of the Los Angeles Kings: NHL Trade Deadline Edition
Here is the 2nd installment of our expanded NHL Trade Deadline coverage. We'll be posting team outlooks leading up to trade deadline over the next couple weeks from a variety of contributing writers.
Written by Dennis Bernstein of TheFourthPeriod.com and can be found on twitter at @DennisTFP
Needs: Nothing but a scorer will do. Although ranked last in offense, Los Angeles is in the top eight in the West due to the stellar work by goaltender Jonathan Quick, the team's clear cut MVP. With 20 of the Kings final 32 games on the road, their margin for error is miniscule and they must deal for a top six finishing forward in order to qualify for the post season. With the heat on GM Dean Lombardi from ownership to win now, he will likely have to broker a blockbuster along the line of the Mike Richards trade to overcome the lack of production from Dustin Penner and Jarret Stoll, a natural center shuttled to the wing on the second line but unproductive.
In order to bring back a player of that caliber, the Kings will have to deal from their strength, defense and goaltending with Jack Johnson and Jonathan Bernier the assets being offered to the market. While they'd take a producer on either wing, the gaping hole that exists on the left side has not been filled since the departure of Ryan Smyth over the summer. They have over $ 3 million of cap space availability, so to bring in a high priced player for half a season is doable even without a roster player departing. Injured Simon Gagne is not close to being ready and there is increasing talk that he will be landing on Long Term Injured Reserve prior to the deadline for further cap relief. There is some chatter of interest in New Jersey's Zach Parise given the Devils reported precarious financial standing but the cost of Dustin Brown and Bernier may only occur if Kings drop out of the top eight in the next month.
Devils will need to make a decision on Parise … Carter 100% available … Ruutu could be moved next week … Schenn may be a trade candidate … Niittymaki to waivers
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: If the Devils can't afford to sign Zach Parise (Everson guesses 10 years at $80 million) to a contract extension before the trade deadline, they may have to decide if they want to trade him or possibly lose him for nothing after the season.
- Darren Dreger TSN video link: Blue Jackets forward Jeff Carter is 100% available, but his contract could be an issue for most teams. The Maple Leafs are not interested in Carter, nor have they talked to Columbus about him. Carter has a cap hit $5.27 million for the next 10 years. The Blue Jackets would need at least 1st round pick and a good young roster player in return. Dreger notes that a Tuomo Ruutu could be traded as early as next week. The Hurricanes think if may cost $4 – $4.5 million on a new deal. The Oilers have said they aren't shopping Sam Gagner but he keeps coming up in discussions.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: "More productive trade discussions this week among teams which means next week might see some action. Not surprising..many teams after D-men."
- David Staples of the Edmonton Journal: It is not clear if Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier is thinking about trading defenseman P.K. Subban. There appears to be some disappointment within management with the development of Suban. Subban has had some verbal battles with assistant coach Randy Ladouceur. Staples wonders if the Oilers would be interested if he would become available.
- Adam Jahns via twitter: Jahns has been told "nothing is close" regarding Chicago Blackhawks trades.
- Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: After the Maple Leafs signed John-Michael Liles to a 4 year contract extension yesterday, Luke Schenn may now be a prime candidate to be traded.
"We want to get ourselves into the playoffs," Schenn added. "(Trades) are the business side of hockey and we really can't focus on that. There's a lot of talk and speculation outside, but that's out of our control.
"I was talking to my roommate Cody Franson and he said he's never dealt with anything like this (before arriving this season). He said in Nashville, there might be a bit of rumbling on the day of the deadline, but not a month or two in advance. "That's part of being in Toronto."
Brian Burke noted:
But if (trades) are not there, then they're not there. Sometimes, you have to keep pitching. We're doing a lot of listening and working the phones. Nothing I would characterize as imminent or close."
- The Fouth Period: Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier was scouting the West Coast. Before the trade deadline he could move any of: Hal Gill, Andrei Kostitsyn, Chris Campoli, Yannick Weber, Mathieu Darche and Travis Moen. Gauthier would like to make another big trade, but it's believed that upper management would have to give the okay before a deal is made. The Canadiens have expressed interest in Ryan Suter, Bobby Ryan and Derick Brassard.
- Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe: There are many people unhappy with Tim Thomas snubbing the White House visit, and it could lead to something bigger. From Shinzawa:
Thomas's decision, however, may be the first step in goalie and team parting ways. His no-movement clause expires at the conclusion of this season. Thomas has one more season remaining on his four-year, $20 million contract. Rask, a restricted free agent at year's end, should be ready to assume the starting job in 2012-1.
The Bruins could get a big return for him from someone looking for a #1 goalie.
- Dave Stubbs via twitter: Teams scouting the Canadiens-Red Wings game: Blues, Canucks, Penguins, Blue Jackets, Kings, Red Wings, Flames, Coyotes, Senators, Wild and Maple Leafs.
- Pittsburgh Penguins via twitter: The Penguins have put Jordan Staal on the LTIR, but he can be removed at any time.
- Bob McKenzie via twitter: The Sharks put Antero Niittymaki on waivers yesterday.
Maple Leafs sign John-Michael Liles to a 4 year extension … What does it mean for Grabovski … Leafs Audio
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News on January 25th, 2012
- Chris Johnston via twitter: 1st 3 years are at $4.25 million. The last year Liles will get $2.75 million.
- Bob McKenzie via twitter: Liles contract extension with the Maple Leafs if for 4 years, a $3.875 million salary cap hit.
- Pierre LeBrun of TSN is reporting that Leafs will announce a 4 year contract extension for John-Michael Liles.
- Michael Traikos via twitter: If the Leafs do sign Liles for 4 years, it seems lot considering they have Gardiner, Jesse Blacker and Stuart Percy in the system.
- Michael Triakos via twitter: "I have to believe that the
#Leafs would not be re-signing Liles unless they were planning to move another puck-moving D-man before deadline."
- Steve Dangle via twitter: Dangle notes Lefas Dmen with expiring contracts: Franson (RFA), Aulie (RFA), Finger (UFA), Gysbers (RFA), Holzer (RFA), Lashoff (RFA). Mikus (RFA).
- Nick Kypreos via twitter: There is speculation that the Maple Leafs and John-Michael Liles are closing in on a multi year contract extension. He is set to be a UFA after the season.
- James Mirtle via twitter: One big worry for the Maple Leafs would be Liles concussion issue. Another issue with the Leafs signing Liles is the salary cap. It was widely believed the Leafs would only re-sign one of Liles or Mikhail Grabovski.
- Chris Johnston via twitter: Liles has a salary of $4.55 million this season, with a $4.2 million salary cap hit.
- James Mirtle via twitter: Jonas Gustavsson's contract situation is getting more interesting as the season moves on.
- Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun: Grabovski's name has surfaced in the rumor mill. He'll be a UFA after the season, and would get some interest on the trade market. He has been a solid player and it may be hard to let him go, and it could have a negative affect on Nikolai Kulemin.
- TSN 1050 Radio: Darren Dreger and James Mirtle talk Leafs. Teams calling about Grabovski, MacArthur and defenseman.

TRANSLATION TUESDAY: Looking back on training camp
Hey Austin, Just a little one. What if anything have you heard about the NCAA? I would think that they would be trying to clear their books with things like the UT issues. There sure are bigger fish in the pond and they need to address those issues. Oh well I know you will be Johnny on the spot when you hear something, but I thought maybe the rumor mill had something going. Thanks Dick
Funny you should ask, Dick.
Based on the timeframe and precedent, it seemed to be on the way -- but now we know for sure it will be Wednesday.

It's the holiday season, my kids both had back scratchers on their list. I turned the handles to a finished length od about 12 1/2". By the time I screwed the hands in it's about 16" long. One was turned out of kingwood and the other one out of rosewood. Nice heavy brass hand, complete with a brass socket Made a nice gift that will get used for many years to come.
