ANAHEIM — The accolades came from the right guy at the right time for Cam Fowler.
When new Anaheim Ducks associate coach Scott Niedermayer was asked about the potential of the third-year defenceman — who showed speed and poise in 152 consecutive starts yet was combined minus-52 in his first two seasons — the four-time Stanley Cup champion spoke of stardom.
He knew the kid was logging 23 minutes a night as an 18-year-old rookie and knows he's better now at age 21. Especially after raising franchise expectations when Fowler signed a five-year, $20 million US contract extension just before the lockout.
"The sky is the limit, I'd say," said Niedermayer. "There's so much to being one of the top players. You obviously need some talent and some smarts and you need the work ethic and the drive to compete. Cam is a great kid and a great skater who's really smart.
"If I can get him to understand the parts of the game that I know took me time to figure out — or even want to learn — it would help him. It's the little things in your end, the dirty jobs necessary to win as a team. If I can convey that to him, maybe I can help him speed it (development) up."
Niedermayer speaks as effortlessly as he moved the puck during his 18-year career in which the Edmonton native accumulated 740 points in 1,263 regular-season games with New Jersey and Anaheim. Despite retiring two years ago, he wanted to give something back and maintain flexibility.
Niedermayer will be the coaching eye in the sky for most home games and practices and travel to occasional road games, but the wisdom he imparted on Fowler during a short post-lockout training camp was immense — like cramming for an exam.
"He's such a soft-spoken guy, but when he says something, you take it in for all that it's worth," said Fowler. "It's little situations that happen out there and for me to play my off side — the right side which Scotty played his whole career — I'm trying to adjust. The way I see the ice on that side is a lot different and I'm trying to put myself in the right positions to make the right play.
"We talk about foot positioning and how he adjusted … Our styles are similar and even in the short time, he's been very helpful. Each day at camp we had 10 minutes of conversation about what happened in practice and he'd either come to me or I'd go to him with a question. The relationship is good."
It should be. Fowler stayed with the Niedermayer family during his rookie season. And there was always a feeling that NHL success and the gold medals his mentor earned in international competition — world junior, world championship, World Cup and Olympics — would be the foundation of finding a way back into the game.
If Teemu Selanne can excel at age 42, the 39-year-old Niedermayer could at least be a teacher because he is at peace with no longer competing. First asked 1 1/2 years ago to join the Ducks staff, he passed because of only being a year removed from playing and wanted more time with his family.
"I didn't really have any big goal with what my plans were," said Niedermayer. "It wasn't like I was going to be a head coach in five years. The last couple of years, I started doing player development work and was then asked again this past summer."
Niedermayer was tracked down en route to Kamloops where the Blazers retired his No. 28 jersey Friday. It rekindled the memory of the 1992 Memorial Cup when his long stretch pass to Zac Boyer with 11 seconds remaining in regulation time resulted in a 5-4 victory over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. It was the WHL franchise's first of three Cups in four years and Niedermayer was named MVP of the 1992 tournament.
"To think back of how fortunate I've been and it started in Cranbrook with some of the coaches I've had because it's a big step to play junior hockey," said Niedermayer. "And to go to an organization like the Blazers and learn how to have success, I was pretty lucky to be in that environment.
"It was kind of an interesting year. I was drafted the year before (third overall) and stuck around for a few months (with New Jersey) but wasn't playing much and it was a challenge mentally two switch gears and get mentally focused."
That's the challenge for Fowler. Niedermayer never scored more than 15 goals in any season but his complete game is what the young Ducks defenceman needs to develop. It took the flu to end his ironman streak on Jan. 19 in Vancouver but he still wanted to play to improve on just five goals last season. And to improve that plus-minus.
"A lot of things have gone wrong for a couple of years and certainly my defensive game could be better," said Fowler. "At times, I was looking more for offence and not worrying about defence, but I've also played some good hockey along the way."
And this season, with an assist from Niedermayer.

Creed is a Grammy Award-winning American rock band, formed in 1995 in Tallahassee, Florida. Becoming popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the band has released three consecutive multi-platinum albums, one of which has been certified diamond, and has sold over 28 million records in the United States.
The Creed performance was in one fans opinion, superb. The concert was dominated by Frontman Scott Stapp, and Guitarist Mark Tremonti. These two seasoned performers shined at the Nokia Theatre. Stapps vocals showed enthusiasm, passion and pure enjoyment for the songs and the audience. Tremonti's effortless guitar playing was harsh as it should be, loud, smooth when necessary and showed the true musicians love of what he does and the fact the man can play. Both men have that sly sideways grin as they both entertained a packed crowd. Creed performed mostly the songs from thier previous albums and a new song called 1000 Faces. The perfromance will leave Creed fans waiting for the new release. Last night showed that if you liked the songs of Creed thier performance by the entire Band was, in my opinion better than the listening to the album's. That is hard to come by these days. One fan went home listening to creed, numb ears and waiting til they come back again.

This is a game where you post something bad that could happen (It didn't have to really happen), and then the person who posts next finds the bright side for your problem, then posts another problem, and so on! If you don't get it, here is an example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ example303 says[i] My car just blew up!
guy303 says[i] At least it was it was one you borrowed from a friend.
Mars just blew up! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and another person would answer that question and put a new problem and so on. There probably won't be any fights or anything and I hope this catches on! If there's any questions, ask me.

Pura Tanah Lot
One of Bali's most important sea temples, Pura Tanah Lot ("Temple of Land in the Middle of the Sea") is a spectacular sight, especially at sunset.
The tiny island was formed by the gradual erosion of the ocean tide over thousands of years. The temple of Tanah Lot is said to have been founded by the 16th-century priest Nirartha, one of the last priests to come to Bali from Java.
What to See
The temple of Tanah Lot stands on a rocky island just off the southwest coast of Bali. One of Bali's most sacred sea temples, Tanah Lot is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea. The temple itself is said to be guarded from evil by the sea snakes that inhabit the caves below.
The temple itself is not accessible to visitors, but magnificent views can be had from a variety of points nearby. Crowds especially gather on the terraces nearby to watch the glow of the sunset behind the temple. Naturally, there are plenty of souvenir shops and cafes with a view to keep you well-supplied while doing so.

Oh Wonderful: Deer, Now With More Fangs
Musk deer aren't new. As a matter of fact, I heard Methuselah once killed one with a rock and presented your mother with the pelt while trying to woo her. Oh snap, your momma's oooooold! Just kidding, I'm sure she's a spry 'lil lady. Unless you don't like her, in which we should convince her to go skydiving with us, except, instead of a parachute, we'll give her a bookbag. Anyway, musk deer are the vampires of the deer world on account of their fangs. Sure they claim to be strictly herbivorous, but it's just a ruse. As soon as there aren't any people around to watch they're bloodlusting on every cute little bunny they can sink those tooth-spears into. They still exist in Siberia and are the closest living relatives to Twlight fangirls. This concludes your biology lesson for the day, are there any questions? "Yes, Professor GW -- did you have to take your pants off during the presentation?" DAMMIT KEITH, YOU KNOW ADMINISTRATION TOOK MY LASER AWAY -- I HAD TO POINT WITH SOMETHING!
A couple more shots after the jump, including two stuffed specimens and a re-creation of what the deer's ancestor looked like (last picture, creeeeeeepy).

A woman suspected of trying to abduct a child from a park has been identified as a special needs adult visiting relatives in the Omaha area.
"The person does not understand boundaries regarding children of strangers," said Lt. Mark Gentile of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
The woman lives in a treatment facility in another state, Gentile said, and has returned there. No charges will be filed against her.
Another woman told authorities that she was playing Saturday with her two children at Brookhaven Park near 110th and Harrison Streets when she was approached by a stranger about 5:15 p.m.
The woman asked the mother if she could hold her 2-year-old son, Gentile said. The mother said no.
The stranger grabbed the child as he slid down a slide, Gentile said, and attempted to leave the park with him.
The boy's mother said she ran after the woman, struck her in the face and grabbed her son.
Gentile said relatives of the special-needs woman and staff members of the treatment facility "have been notified in order for them to take proper precautions and to educate the person so a similar incident isn't repeated."

It took a jury over four hours on Thursday evening to reach a verdict in the murder trial of a man who prosecutors said assisted convicted killer Jesse Davis in the murder of two Winter Park teenagers.
Hector Rodriguez, 32, was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery and sentenced to life in prison.
The charred bodies of Presha, 16, and Stewart, 18, both Winter Park High School students, were found along the Cady Way Trail in April of 2012. Detectives said they were shot, execution style by Davis and Rodriguez, before the bodies were set on fire.
Earlier, prosecutors told the jury that all of the evidence indicated that it was a two-man job.
"Look at the testimony you have seen, and you don't leave your common sense at the door," said Ken Lewis.
Detectives said the teens tried to sell guns to Davis when something went terribly wrong. The boys were tied up and stripped down before their deaths.
Rodriguez said he was with Davis when the boys were bound but that Davis acted alone in the murders. Prosecutors argued otherwise.
"These photos show you two different guns, that these boys were lined up side by side and executed at the trail with two weapons."
One of the teens was shot with a .22 caliber and the other with a .32 caliber weapon, detectives say.
Davis pleaded guilty to murder last year and was sentenced to life in prison. He was expected to testify in the trial, but he refused when he took the stand, claiming "voices in his head" told him not to do so.
Prosecutors completed their closing statements late Wednesday morning. The defense began their closing statements just after a lunch recess. The jury is expected to begin deliberations this afternoon.

This article replaces an earlier version which depicted the practice of sealing openings in the housing of a recessed fixture. This practice is not authorized by manufacturers or code and could cause the fixture to overheat.
Recessed lights have received plenty of attention as a potential source of energy savings through the use of CFLs and, more recently, LED lamps. But even when equipped with the most efficient bulbs, can lights are a major source of undetected air leakage in most homes. Whether they are providing a pathway for air movement into floor systems or attics and ultimately out of the house, or drawing outside air into the house, they can affect air quality, comfort, and utility bills. This air movement is difficult to see or feel directly, but it can be easily detected using a smoke stick, especially in conjunction with a blower door.
Although newer homes may have fixtures rated for insulation contact (IC-rated), most insulation is not enough to stop air leakage through the fixture. (In fact, you can often see evidence of air leakage in patches of dirt and dust that has collected on batt insulation that has been laid over these fixtures.) Where you have access to the attic, you can insulate and air seal in one step by creating a "top hat" to isolate the fixture, sealing it to the surrounding materials, then insulating around it. A number of manufactured products are available to provide clearance for insulation around the fixture, but you can also build a box using scraps of rigid insulation or drywall.
This video from Green Homes America provides a good overview of the air leakage issue with recessed lights and shows an actual top hat installation.
Sealing From Below In homes where attic access isn't available or is difficult—and for recessed fixtures mounted in first floor ceilings—a top hat and insulation is not an option. Merely caulking under the trim ring is ineffective, because the fixture housing itself contains numerous slots and other openings through which air can escape. To completely seal recessed fixtures from below, you would need to plug all of these voids. But this practice could create a fire hazard, particularly in older recessed fixtures that are not equipped with a thermistor that shuts down the power supply if the fixture over heats. Moreover, manufacturers consider this an unauthorized modification of the fixture that will void the warranty and possibly create a fire hazard, even when the fixtures are thermally protected.
Nevertheless, there are any number of online videos from weatherization contractors demonstrating various techniques for sealing recessed lights from below. In some the sealant is fire-rated foam; in others, it is a non-hardening, non-combustible duct sealant. In most cases the contractor cautions that incandescent lamps should be replaced with more efficient and cooler CFLs, but that's the extent of any warning about the fixture overheating. Given that the potential liability far outweighs the savings from the air sealing, the safe bet is to avoid modifying the fixture in this way.
Air flow appears to play a role in cooling recessed fixtures, but the message is mixed. For example, one code official we heard from said it was okay to seal the space between the recessed housing and the drywall. But caulking an eighth-inch joint around a 6-inch fixture is the equivalent of plugging air flow through a 2-square-inch hole. That stops a significant percentage of the air flow in a typical (non-airtight) can, yet neither manufacturers nor code officials seem to see any overheating hazard in sealing this joint.
Does any of this have any bearing on the top hat treatment? If by design air flow is essential for cooling the fixture, then why is the top hat solution acceptable? The fixture cover is sealed to the ceiling below, so it effectively stops the flow of cooler air through the fixture. And because insulation is installed over top of it, heat is trapped inside. Despite conduction losses, it seems likely that this would raise the temperature of the fixture well beyond what would be the case for a fixture installed in a first floor ceiling joist bay with no air sealing or insulation.
What Now? It's pretty clear that, when it comes to energy retrofits, recessed fixtures are problematic, particularly older models. They are a significant source of energy loss, and in many attic ceilings they interrupt both the thermal barrier and air barrier.
It's also clear that sealing fixtures from below by filling the openings inside the housing creates a risk of overheating, whether or not the fixture is equipped with a temperature-sensing limit switch. This practice also voids the manufacturer warranty and most likely violates code.
Finally, although the top hat treatment appears to be acceptable for modern recessed fixtures equipped with thermal protection, overheating still seems possible, especially in models lacking thermal protection.
If you have access to the attic during a retrofit, replacing older fixtures with newer, air-sealed, IC-rated models, is a safe, if more expensive, solution to air-sealing. If you lack access to the attic, another option is to retrofit with an LED insert, such as Cooper's RL7 LED module (about $65 on Amazon), which incorporates an air-sealing gasket. Finally, you can always eliminate recessed fixtures altogether in favor of surface-mounted lights, but this could involve replacing and refinishing drywall and some rewiring.

Quality management: The project begins
Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part series based on a technical paper, "Using a Quality Management System for the Engineering Phase of a Project," delivered by William K. Pollock at the ISA 2002 Technical Conference. The first part appeared in the June issue.
By William K. Pollock
Last month, we addressed the fundamentals of project management—important concepts necessary for the successful execution of engineering projects. In this segment, we will put these concepts to the test, answering the real-world question of what to do once you have presented the proposal and the user has approved it.
The design phase begins immediately after receiving the purchase order. If the appropriate planning occurs during proposal development, then this part of the project should begin well. The project manager's organizational skills will affect the quality of the project. Project managers, who in an effort to save time, neglect to keep files and organization current, put themselves at a disadvantage.
The following are steps to take right after getting the purchase order:
- First, set up the project files and start a project notebook.
- Next do the project plan. You should show all deliverables, targeted dates, and activities.
- Now is also the time when the project manager should review the entire scope of the project, identify all the tasks and deliverables involved, and assign resources. He or she should compare the budget with the task list, assemble the project design team, and make sure they understand their roles and responsibilities.
- Next do the resource plan. Resource planning is the only effective way to guarantee that the resources assigned to the project will be available.
- A project kick-off meeting with the team should happen as soon as practical after the project begins. It is the project manager's responsibility to build team spirit, start things off on a good foot, and establish enthusiasm.
- Every project needs one or more design reviews. These design reviews should already be on the project quality plan.
- Next do the project schedule. The level of detail needed in a project schedule is a function of the size and sophistication of the project. For many projects the design firm will need the client to transfer computer-aided design files or other software files to get the project started. A delay in this transfer may delay the entire project schedule.
Once the project is underway there are many records the project manager needs to maintain.
The guides for where the project is going are the project quality plan and the project schedule. The project manager should refer to and update both of these documents on a regular basis. He or she should also periodically review the task list, checking off completed tasks and comparing the remaining budget with the remaining tasks to determine earned value.
Effective quality management systems audit the project manager on a regular basis to make sure that records are current and accurate. It is a poor policy to "nickel and dime" a client. On the other hand, an important part of project management is maintaining the scope of services included with the project. If client-initiated changes occur, project change notices should go out in a very timely fashion.
The project manager is responsible for scheduling and leading meetings. You can classify project meetings into three basic types.
1. There are team meetings that include the entire team and cover budgets, costs, and schedules.
2. There are design meetings that most often consist of subsets of the design.
3. There are design reviews where team members, as well as outsiders, are invited to review the design for fitness of use.
There are, of course, rules for holding effective meetings. Project managers should learn these rules. Good communication is a critical part, if not the most critical part, of successful project management. Meetings are only a small part of communication.
The bottom line of the entire quality management system is project quality, and there must be procedures in place to ensure that outcome. There are a number of basic steps you cannot take for granted. For example: (a) design reviews are essential to product quality, (b) there should also be mini–design reviews, (c) there should be appropriate acceptance tests in place before the project begins, (d) if the client has standards they should be followed completely, and (e) a portion of the project budget should be set aside to allow for the test, inspection, and design review process.
You can define quality, in part, as delivering on promises. But quality only happens if the deliverable meets the exact standards defined by a specific client. IT

Excellent updates as always.......How dare the Poles................and French.............and English..........to "threaten" peaceful Germany. And now they all mobilize for war while Germany tries to just build a little railroad to Koningsberg? How dare the Poles amass thousands, ........tens of thousands........and maybe even hundreds of thousands of Cavalry on the borders of the Reich....Guess the Wehrmach will have to bring them into the "modern age" by showing them the power of the Panzerarmees.......

Methinks Paul wants to have his hands free to 'fraternize' with the soon to be completely-peacefully-subjected womenfolk in Poland and France, who will of course welcome the liberators from the Wehrmacht with open... arms...
Remember: it's not the people who hate the Germans, it's just their horrible Imperialist rulers, who are lacking the enlightenment Germany's Führer has. Once the rulers are brought down, all the people can live in perfect harmony and contentment. With nary a jackboot involved. Except perhaps Paul's, around which undoubtedly assorted Polish and French ladies will lay swooning.
Generall Ott is having one rude awakening after another, isn't he? First he has to abandon his Chinese troops, then he's sent to Austria, then he learns the man he holds in such esteem has proposed to the singing-'n'-dancing nun... And pretty soon he's going to find out that, yes, his Austrian 'boys' are going to die in sizeable numbers, either at the hands of the Yugoslavs, or the Western Allies, or - sooner or later - the hungry maw of the Red Bear. Such a life of disappointment.

Ott has had a rather rough time of it! Hopefully things can settle down for him now that he's free of the vonTrapps! As for Paul, well, war hasn't been as exciting or exotic as he hoped...so far.
And the Wehrmacht: A Global Force For Peace!
Well, she's certainly evil!
Those sneaky Poles are always a danger to the peaceful Reich. And thanks...I don't think there are many (any?) more non-feline Sturmkittens.
Well, the engineers wanted their passengers to enjoy the senic beauty of Poland, so even this nice compliment gets twisted into 'naked aggression' by the Western Bullies!
Well, Paul's probably got some nice muscles going after all that digging too! Erich is the sanest of the lot, which is something of a shame.

In This Issue:
- War!
- Naval Confusion!
- That Darned Nun!
- Passive-Aggressive Poland!
- Sturmkittens!
is Karl, perchance, hinting at a crucial, & less than glorious, role for himself in the naval disaster? Tis good to see Eugen has his mind focussed on the real business, but is it such a good idea to let the singing Nun have the run of the Reich?
bit sneaky of the Poles to surrender before you were ready for them to surrender ... quite right to insist that these things should be done in their proper order
Informative as always, but I believe I spotted a typo in the discussion of the Scandinavian countries. Surely the Reich is not contempleting 'invading' them, but rather is making plans to provide much-needed protection against Imperialist aggression, at the behest of the host countries, and only if truly needed in the direst of circumstances? Other than that, everything seems to be spot-on.
Enjoyed Paul's performance and his critiquing of Spam (hey! I lived in Minnesota for 5 years! There's an actual Spam museum in Austin, MN!). And Lt. Rohman's comparison to the Valkyries. But not quite. And how strafing hundreds of soldiers doesn't count.
I'm a little bit disappointed that Lt. Schtill didn't manage to refer to the rhapsodic qualities of his formerly-Czech brothers in arms, but you can't always get what you want, I realize. Especially if the thing you want is a cringe-inducing bad pun - those need to be strictly rationed.
Kapt. Lt. Ritter is definitely channeling the friendly, forgive-and-forget, let's all live in peace attitude that pervades in the Wehrmacht News & World Report, as well as the peace-loving Reich at large. He's a fine specimen and a stand-out Kriegsmarine officer, who'll go far, I'm sure. Yes, let's put the whole business behind us.
Anyway, if there are no witnesses left alive, then how could there be any more punishment meted out anyhow? I think the anonymous captain is quite safe.

The gluten-free athlete is working towards becoming the first man to win three Australian Open games in a row.
Tennis star Novak Djokovic found himself back on top as the highest ranking male tennis player this past November. Now, he's aiming for a new goal: To be the first man to win three Australian Opens in a row.
"It's a huge challenge," Djokovic said as he expressed his love for the Australian Open, a court he says brings back memories of some of the best moments in his career. Djokovic is no stranger to overcoming challenges, however. In 2011, he revealed he has a gluten-related disorder and had adopted a gluten-free diet. He's credited the diet for his improved performance in the past, and with a potentially record-setting match on the horizon, it appears that could still be the case.
The Australian Open is slated to begin on Monday, January 14thcurrently in progress. Head to PerthNow.com to read more about Djokovic's competition, as they race to claim the Australian Open crown.
