To all the TFA critics out there, here's my pitch: TFA isn't going away. So why not pressure them to wield their power and influence in a way that might actually prove more productive?
If voters place more stock in the results produced by incumbent Tom Torlakson than they do in the advertising of challenger Marshall Tuck, California has a chance to continue improving education.
Meier: As long as we see standards as 'The Standards' we will face this danger—and especially if who is right/wrong is based on impact on test scores designed by the same people who have mandated the standards.
Jack and Julian Vasquez Heilig discuss the role of teacher unions and how they might evolve in the coming decades.
Is there any point in having curricular benchmarks at the district, state, or national level? Jack Schneider and Julian Vasquez Heilig discuss.
Choice, for all its pitfalls, does offer a glimmering hope of countering school segregation. Julian Vasquez Heilig and I consider a choice plan that might work.
Vouchers are back as a topic, and this time they've been given an equity gloss. Julian Vasquez Heilig and I discuss whether or not vouchers are still a bad idea.
What is the damage done by TFA's claims that their program is as good or better than college- and university-based programs? Julian Vasquez Heilig and I discuss.

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of nonaqueous electrolytes, electric current producing cells, and energy storage cells. More particularly, the invention pertains to nonaqueous electrolytes comprising (a) one or more solvents; (b) one or more ionic salts; and (c) one or more additives. Electric current producing cells, energy storage cells comprising non-aqueous electrolytes, and methods of making nonaqueous electrolytic solutions with aromatic phosphite compounds as stabilizers for halogenated salts in lithium and lithium ion rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, and so on, are disclosed herein.
2. Description of Related Art
Electric current producing cells such as batteries consist of pairs of electrodes of opposite polarity separated by electrolytic solution, which includes a solvent and a solute. The charge flow between electrodes is maintained by an ionically conducting solute, i.e., a salt. The non-aqueous electrolytic solutions, which are used in lithium and lithium ion batteries, are made by dissolving lithium salts in a variety of organic solvents. In particular, nonaqueous electrolytes comprising lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) exhibit very good electrochemical stability and conductivity. However, LiPF6 is not thermally stable and readily decomposes by hydrolysis, as set forth in the following reactions:
Thermal decomposition of LiPF6 occurs at elevated temperatures (Reaction 1), and is accelerated in solution due to the reactions of phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5) and solvents because PF5 is not only a very strong Lewis acid that will catalyze the decomposition (or polymerization) of the electrolyte solvents but also a strong fluorinating agent that readily reacts with organic solvents. It is believed that PF5 is a major cause of thermal decomposition of the electrolytes of lithium ion batteries.
Hydrolysis of LiPF6 (Reaction 2) generally occurs due to the presence of protic impurities such as moisture, alcohols and acidic impurities in the electrolytic solution. Accordingly, water, alcohols and acidic impurities, especially hydrogen fluoride (HF) are undesirable in lithium and lithium-ion battery systems. The strong acid HF is especially harmful to batteries because it reacts with electrode active materials and corrodes the solid electrolyte interface (SEI), which results in poor battery performance.
It may appear that deactivation or removal of PF5 in electrolytic solutions will diminish or prevent the subsequent decomposition reactions of the electrolytes, and hence increase the thermal stability of the electrolytes, which in turn improves thermal stability and high temperature performance of batteries made therewith. This deactivation or removal of PF5 can be achieved by complexing PF5 with a Lewis base. Zhang et al. found that tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphite, which has a Lewis basic P(III) center, can stabilize an electrolyte of 1.2M LiPF6 in EC/PC/EMC (3:3:4) for two weeks at 60� C. and act as a flame-retardant co-solvent for nonflammable electrolytes in lithium ion batteries (see Electrochem. Solid-State Letters, 5 (9), A206-A208 (2002), and J. Power Sources, 113, 166-172 (20003), both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety). U.S. Pat. No. 6,939,647 (incorporated by reference in its entirety) discloses electrolytes containing 1-50 wt % of trialkyl phosphites such as partially fluorinated alkyl phosphites. Li et al. also reported the stabilization of 1.0M LiPF6 in EC/DMC/DEC (1:1:1) with Lewis bases such as pyridine, hexamethoxycyclotriphosphazene, and hexamethylphosphoramide by the formation of base:PF5 complexes (see J. Electrochem. Soc., 152 (7), A1361-A1365 (2005); incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
The present invention provides a nonaqueous electrolytic solution having a phosphite compound containing at least one aromatic group whose chemical structure is generally depicted by Formula 1 below, to act as a stabilizer for halogenated salts in lithium and lithium ion rechargeable batteries.
The invention also provides a method of maintaining below a reading of 50 the APHA color of a non-aqueous electrolytic solution for use in a secondary battery after storage at 50� C. for two months, comprising contacting a non-aqueous electrolytic solution with about 0.01 to about 5 wt % of a non-aqueous electrolytic solution disclosed herein.
The electrolytic solution comprises (a) at least one lithium salt, (b) at least one solvent, (c) an aromatic phosphite, and may include other additives. Typical halogenated lithium salts include LiPF6, LiBF4, LiAsF6, LiSbF6, and LiAlCl4. Typical organic solvents include ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC), γ-butyrolactone (GBL), methyl butyrate (MB), and propyl acetate (PA).
The inventors have discovered that an aromatic phosphite compound can be used to stabilize electrolytic solutions containing halogenated lithium salts. The electrolytic solutions using such phosphites are stable over long shelf lives at high storage temperatures. Decomposition and hydrolysis of the halogenated lithium salts is reduced, and stability of the lithium salts and electrolytic solutions is increased. Preferred embodiments of the invention are described herein for LiPF6-based electrolytes but the invention may be used with other halogenated lithium salts such as LiBF4, LiAsF6, LiSbF6, LiAlCl4, combinations thereof, and combinations with other lithium salts such as LiClO4, LiB(C2O4), LiCF3SO3, LiN(SO2CF3)2, and so on.
The solvents useful herein include one or more conventional solvents, for example, cyclic carbonate esters such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, and vinyl ethylene carbonate; linear carbonate esters, such as dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, methyl propyl carbonate; other ester-based solvents such as γ-butyrolactone, propyl acetate, methyl butyrate; ethers such as dioxolane, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran, and mixtures thereof. For example, the solvent may be a mixture of ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate.
The following embodiments describe the preferred modes presently contemplated for carrying out the invention and are not intended to describe all possible modifications and variations consistent with the spirit and purpose of the invention. These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description that described both the preferred and alternative embodiments of the present invention.

Ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate were mixed in a weight ratio of 1:1:1 to prepare a nonaqueous organic solvent mixture. 1.0M LiPF6 was added into the above solvent mixture. Then triphenyl phosphite was added into the electrolytic solution in an amount of 5.0% by weight to give Example 1. The electrolytic solution was stored in an oven of 80� C. for one month and the color of the electrolyte was 19 APHA (PtCo), compared with 21 APHA of the electrolyte before storage, by Hach DR/2010 Portable Datalogging Spectrophotometer at λ=455 nm. As is known in the art, APHA is a single number yellowness index where each APHA unit is based on a dilution of a 500 ppm stock solution of PtCo. Distilled water has an APHA value of zero. The stock solution has an APHA value of 500. A detailed description of solution preparation and measurement procedures may be found in ASTM Designation D1209, �Standard Test Method for Color of Clear Liquids (Platinum-Cobalt Scale).�
Example 2 was prepared identically to Example 1, except that 3.0 wt % of triphenyl phosphite was used. The electrolytic solution was stored in an 80� C. oven for one month and the color of the electrolyte was 5 APHA, compared with an initial color of 23 APHA before storage.
Example 3 was prepared identically to Example 1, except that 1.0 wt % of triphenyl phosphite was used. The electrolytic solution was stored in a 65� C. oven for one month and the color of the electrolyte was 10 APHA, compared with an initial color of 22 APHA before storage.
Example 4 was prepared identically to Example 1, except that 0.5 wt % of triphenyl phosphite was used. The electrolytic solution was stored in a 50� C. oven for two months and the final color of the solution was only 2 APHA, compared with an initial color of 10 APHA before storage.
Example 5 was prepared identically to Example 1, except that 0.1 wt % of triphenyl phosphite was used. The electrolytic solution was stored in a 50� C. oven for two months and the final color of the solution was 14 APHA, compared with an initial color of 17 APHA before storage.
Example 6. Into the electrolytic solution of Example 4 was added 2.0% wt vinylene carbonate, to give Example 6. The color of the electrolyte after storage at 50� C. for two months was 14 APHA, same as the color of the electrolyte before storage.
The comparative examples represent the prior art.
Comparative Example 1. Ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate were mixed in a weight ratio of 1:1:1 to prepare a nonaqueous organic solvent mixture. 1.0M LiPF6 was added to the solvent mixture to give an electrolytic solution. The final color of the electrolytic solution after storage at 50� C. for 2 weeks was 69 APHA compared with an initial color of 23 APHA before storage.
Comparative Example 2. Into the electrolytic solution of Comparative Example 1 was added 2.0% wt vinylene carbonate to give Comparative Example 2. The final color of the electrolyte after storage at 50� C. for one week was 214 APHA, compared with an initial color of 12 APHA before storage.
(2) Preparation of a Cathode. A positive electrode slurry was prepared by dispersing LiCoO2 (positive electrode active material, 90 wt %), poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVdF, binder, 5 wt %), and acetylene black (electro-conductive agent, 5 wt %) into 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). The slurry was coated on aluminum foil, dried, and compressed to give a cathode. The cathode was die-cut into discs by a punch with a diameter of 14.3 mm.
(3) Preparation of an Anode. Artificial graphite (as negative electrode active material, 95 wt %) and PVdF (as binder, 5 wt %) were mixed into NMP to give a negative active material slurry which was coated on copper foil, dried, and pressed to give a negative electrode. The anode electrode was die-cut into discs by a punch with a diameter of 15.9 mm.
(4) Assembly of a Lithium Ion Secondary Battery. In a dry box under an argon atmosphere, a lithium ion secondary battery was assembled using a 2032 type coin cell. That is, a cathode was placed on a cathode can, and a microporous polypropylene film (25 μm thickness and 19.1 mm diameter) was placed thereon as a separator. It was pressed with a polypropylene gasket, and then an anode was placed. A stainless steel spacer and spring were placed thereon to adjust thickness and to make a good contact. An electrolytic solution from each of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 was added to separate batteries and allowed to absorb. Finally, an anode cover was mounted thereon to seal the batteries by a crimper, thus completing the assembly of the coin type lithium ion secondary batteries.
(5) Testing of the Batteries. Evaluation of the aforementioned assembled batteries was carried out in the order (A) initial charging and discharging (confirmation of capacity) and (B) life cycle test.
A. Capacity Confirmation. Initial charging and discharging of the aforementioned assembled batteries were performed according to the constant current/voltage charging and constant current discharging method in a room temperature atmosphere. The battery was first charged up to 4.2 Volts (V) at a constant current rate of 0.5 mA/cm2 (milliamps per square centimeter). After reaching 4.2 V, the battery was continually charged at a constant voltage of 4.2 V until the charging current reached 0.1 mA or less. Then the battery was discharged at a constant current rate of 0.5 mA/cm2 until the cut-off voltage 3.0 V was reached. Standard capacity of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery was 4.2 mAh (milliamp hours).
B. Life Cycle Test. Life cycle testing was conducted over 50 cycles at room temperature by charging the aforementioned initially charged/discharged batteries at a constant current rate of C/2 (2.1 mA) to 4.2 V and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.2 V until the current reached 0.1 mA or less. After that the battery was discharged at a constant current rate of C/2 (2.1 mA) until the cut-off voltage 3.0 V reached. Discharge capacity retention rate of cycle life (%)=(nth cycle discharge capacity/1st cycle discharge capacity)�100%. First cycle efficiency is (1st cycle discharge capacity/1st cycle charge capacity)�100%. Table 1 displays the results of the life cycle testing.
It is also seen from Table 1 that when the aromatic phosphite such as triphenyl phosphite was added to electrolytic solutions in an amount of 3 wt % or less, the cell performance such as discharge capacity and capacity retention of the electrolytic solutions was improved or similar compared with the control solution. Cell performance suffered when 5 wt % of the aromatic phosphite was used.
Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and illustrative example shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general invention concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

Article Series: This Being Human
Help from Einstein
- by Lee Smith, Ph.D.
Einstein was not simply a physicist. He offered wisdom for all seasons of life and existence. At one time the whole world looked to him for guidance, like an oracle. He said that his genius was to look in to things deeply and to see with an uncommon clarity untethered to what we think we know. Let's have an annotated look at some of his wise equations to get some ideas about searching our own life's dark matter.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Officials confirm that cantaloupes linked to a multi-state outbreak of listeria infection were sold in Wisconsin Aldi stores.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection said Friday that the whole melons from Jensen Farms in Colorado, sold under the brand name Rocky Ford, were shipped to Aldi stores in Wisconsin between Aug. 16 and Sept. 13.
Once notified of the Jensen Farms recall, Aldi stores promptly removed the melons from their sales floor Sept. 13 and issued a nationwide recall. However, officials say some melons may remain in customers' homes.
The department is still determining whether other Wisconsin retail stores also received the cantaloupes.
Two cases of listeriosis among Wisconsin residents have been linked to the outbreak, but they have not been linked to cantaloupe bought at Aldi.

Adam Lambert American Music Awards Performance: Awesome or Inappropriate?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Taylor Swift was the big winner at last night's American Music Awards. No surprise there.
But viewers and audience members were shocked when Adam Lambert closed the show with a controversial performance that's been lighting up Twitter accounts and gossip blogs all night long.
Following songs by Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Lady Gaga, Lambert took to the stage in a silver suit.
He proceeded to gyrate against back-up singers and kiss a male band member. Throw in some S&M imagery and a bit of simulated sex and you have a buzzed-about performance that puts Lambert directly in the spotlight just as his debut album hits stores today.
Watch the rendition below and let us know your thoughts on it...
What do you think of Lambert's performance?
REally SHIT performance.
I found his singing worse than the inappropriate part of the it. he was screaming his lungs out and was totally off pitch :S
adam loved u at the ai auditions, loved u as the 1st runner up and totally loved ur stage presence and performance at the music awards. i am a mature women who has seen the likes of alice cooper and rocky horror picture show. u r glam rock at its theatrical best!! bravo!! hope to see u on tour soon.
I loved Adams performance at the AMA's. He's a real showman! Everybody thinks his performance was shocking. It's nothing more than we see everyday in late night movies. I'm a 52 year old straight woman and I think he is the most talented person that I've seen in a long time. I watched him all through AI, and am watching his career grow. If you can watch "Time for miracles" and not see a fantastic talent emerging, there's something wrong with you. Adam, you should be very proud of yourself!!! I know I am! Go for it kid -- you've got it ALL!!
GOOD GOD PEOPLE!!! Get over it!!! Madonna and Britney tongue kissed PRIME TIME at the MTV awards in 03. Janet Jackson showed her boob. Michael Jackson always grabbed his crotch! I thought it was hot and sexy! The only reason anyone has a problem with it is because he's gay. HELLO???? We're in the 21st century NOT the 19th! It was genius on his part - controversy sells! His CD came out the next day! Those of you complaining that your children saw it - you need to check your parenting skills, why are they up that late? And those of you just complaining period - you need a big dose of REALITY!!!! People make me sick that they are that close minded! I hope you never travel to Europe, you would be totally disgusted! Americans are PRUDES! And YES I'm an American! Born and raised! GET OVER IT!!!!!
Just think. A few years ago we were shocked about the Madonna & Britney Spears kiss. I'm an old prude, but I have actually seen worse. Think about what some rap artist do. This performance by Adam Lambert was a tad too suggestive for my taste. But if they had taken out the scene with the man on a leash and the simulated oral sex, it would have been okay with me.
This performance was in bad taste. I do not believe that ANYONE is being judgmental because of his sexual preference, but more of the way he was so in your face. This was a great opportunity for him, and in my opinion, he blew it. ABC is not responsible for his actions. If anyone should be fined, it is him. He chose to change his performance because HE "got carried away�. Explain how that is ABC's fault.
I think the most important thing about the performance was that Adam sounded like crap. He did so much better on AI covering other people's stuff. He is trying to hard to be out of the norm.
I hope he knows that young kids are watching this! Adam, save this gay stuff for someplace that is ment gay. I can promise you a lot more people liked you before. I know I dont anymore and a lot of people feel the same way. No one cares if your gay but if you go out on children and family TV and turn it into some sex show well then people are gonna start caring. Alot of these other reviews about how much of a mistake you made are very good too! I think Adam needs to read these and watch his performance again and realy think about what he just did! I would not do anything like this again! @-'-,--
His performance was awesome and like he said his not a baby sitter parents should know better. Most of these performances on these award shows contain sexual antics. Eminem raps about horrible things parents shouldn't be letting their kids watch this period. My child was sleeping at that time and i would never let him watch any of these shows.
That performance was terrible and his singing/the song was BEYOND TERRIBLE

Tyler Alexander is a 22yo stud that's landed in a room full of horny men. The crowd can't resist Tyler's body and immediately cover him in hands. As he's getting groped, the electricity on his cock and his thighs make him flex and twist his restraints on the stretch rack. The crowd cheers his heavy flogging and then he's suspended upside down to 69 with Girth Brooks' monster cock. He's blindfolded and thrown in the middle of the crowd for a gang bang and bukkake that this stud will never forget.

The interior designer's guide to effective hand drafting
The kinesthetic act of completing a manually drafted drawing gives interior designers a greater understanding of the space they're designing, time to reflect on their work, and the skills needed to quickly draw freehand for presentations and design concept developments.
Manual Drafting for Interiors is an essential reference for interior designers learning how to manually draft scaled floor plans, elevations, sections, and three-dimensional drawings. Clearly explaining techniques and methods, it begins with an explanation of drafting tools and their various uses, and then presents instructions and illustrations that indicate how to complete increasingly more difficult drafting conventions. Additionally, readers will learn drawing techniques for indicating various materials, symbols for coordinating related drawings, and architectural lettering.
Complemented with extensive drawings, inspiring examples, and tips for developing your own style of graphic expression, Manual Drafting for Interiors arms readers with essential skills they'll use throughout their career as a designer.
S. CHRISTINE CAVATAIO, IDEC, LEED AP, NCIDQ, is Associate Professor of Interior Design at Newbury College in Brookline, Massachusetts. A professional interior designer for thirty years, she has also taught at Mount Ida College and Boston Architectural College, and was an interior design program advisor at BAC and RISD.

Fly fishing is a greatly satisfying sport once you've figured out how to lay a fly somewhat close to the target zone, but for beginners, it can be quite frustrating and expensive. Equipment costs seem to be way out of reach when greenhorns first look into it but most soon figure out that things can be quite realistic if everyone keeps their wits about them.
The only thing the angler needs to be worried about are the consumable costs like those for leaders and flies once the major purchases have been made, and tying your own can slightly mitigate the issue. But it only softens the impact slightly when it seems the only things you can catch are trees, logs, rocks, bridge supports, dock pilings, power lines, and other miscellaneous tackle grabbers. The most innocuous little twig can be an absolute hook magnet when positioned right over the best run or hole along the stream or shoreline, and you can just about figure out where the fish are without ever having seen one. Just look for all the tackle above a regularly productive hole . Can you imagine how many other anglers have felt the exact same urge to tuck a nearly impossible cast right up under the same overhanging branch? It seems that God's sense of humor was working overtime when he gave us beautiful fish in spectacular locations but surrounded them with impossible casting situations.
I sometimes joke with customers that I consider the day to be a success when I can return home with half my fly selection intact and the rods in the same number of pieces as when I left. I also mention that as a matter of good taste and style, they need to spread their lovingly-selected flies around and avoid sticking them all in the same piece of foliage. My own advice is sometimes hard to heed once I actually set my feet in the water and spy a tantalizingly perfect piece of water just begging to be probed. I recently donated a complete rig (two flies, split shot, and strike indicator) to the cause in a particularly nice tree along the "Fly Only" section of the Pere Marquette River in Michigan. There was a beautiful pod of salmon working a gravel bed 3/4 of the way across the stream along with a half dozen steelhead lying in wait for the salmon eggs to drift down to their waiting mouths. It was too good to pass up so I gathered my thoughts, entered a zen-like trance, and with a prowess and finesse rarely demonstrated by mortal men, deposited a magnificently tied egg and bugger tandem straight into a tree branch hanging from a most superbly positioned tree behind me. Lest you think I was the only one skilled enough to find the only obstacle to success within a hundred yards, I'm here to tell you that branch was nicely populated by a wide selection of flies tied in every color of the rainbow. It was wonderfully decorative although not a terribly effective fishing technique. I was frustrated at first but eventually resigned myself to the undeniable fact that these things are bound to occur when participating in the sport of fly fishing. We often say that you aren't really trying if your aren't losing a fly to the bushes and bottom structure every so often.
The thing to glean from this all too obvious lesson is that you can't get too frustrated by these issues since it's part of the game, and you just have to pay attention to your immediate surroundings before rearing back to launch a cast. Also, be sure to take pictures of any flies purchased while on a trip because you might not possess them long enough to enjoy their company. Besides, without a picture you won't remember what patterns to tie when you return to the vise in preparation for the next adventure.
Remember that Christmas is coming up so be sure to decorate with a sense of balance and style.... The wildlife will appreciate it on December 25th.

from William Houston of the Globe and Mail:
Al Strachan's career in sportswriting is almost over. Strachan has been told that his contract at the Toronto Sun will not be renewed. He will be finished on Dec. 31 and says he's planning to retire. Strachan has been a sportswriter, mostly in hockey, for 33 years. He started at the Montreal Gazette in 1973, joined The Globe and Mail in 1980 and moved to the Sun in 1994. He was also the host of a radio show in Montreal in the 1970s and was a regular on the Hockey Night in Canada Satellite Hot Stove panel until last season, when he was replaced with Pierre LeBrun of The Canadian Press. Quebecor has cut deeply into the Toronto Sun sports department. Columnist Mike Ulmer was let go. Reporter Perry Lefko took a buyout and joined the Canadian Football League, although Lefko says he wasn't forced to leave.continued, including news about the CBC's pitch to retain its NHL rights.

from the Boston Bruins,
A minor scare went through Bruins nation, as Chara did not return to action in the second, after blocking a shot in the first period. Following the game, however, Bruins Head Coach Dave Lewis indicated that Chara had asked to play the second period, but the training staff thought it best to ice the area immediately. Lewis let Boston fans breath a little easier when he said that Chara will have a precautionary x-ray tomorrow, but was walking fine after the game.

Malkin Hurt
09/20/06 at 09:00 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the CP via TSN,
Evgeni Malkin was injured during his NHL debut Wednesday night after colliding with Pittsburgh Penguins teammate John LeClair early in the second period. Malkin had just finished making a dazzling pass to LeClair when the veteran winger, after missing a great scoring chance, crashed into the boards behind the net and took out Malkin in the process. The Russian rookie catapulted over LeClair and landed hard on the ice. A hush came over the crowd at Moncton Coliseum as Malkin, the second overall pick behind Alexander Ovechkin in the 2004 NHL entry draft, lay sprawled on the ice for 3-4 minutes. He got up and skated off the ice but was favouring his left arm. He headed straight to the dressing room. There was no immediate word on his condition.I am sure Pens fans will kep us posted with any updated news. added 8:52pm, How it happened... added 9:11pm, Make sure to check the comments. Pens fans will keep us posted and now are mentioning that Malkin is back in the arena after visiting the hospital. Also, check the TSN link, they will update in that link throughout the evening.

Western conference players that could be moved during the upcoming season... from Spector at Fox Sports,
Keith Tkachuk — He rejected any notion of a trade last season, but if the Blues have another lousy campaign he might change his mind this time around, especially if the club decides not to re-sign him following this season. His tenure in St. Louis could well depend on the club's on-ice fortunes.read on

NHLPA Delivers Good News
09/20/06 at 06:56 PM ET | Comments (0)
The subject of the NHLPA getting money back from last season was touched on at KK a few weeks ago. More information is now available. from the CP via TSN,
Players will be getting a nice little bonus early in the NHL season. The NHL Players' Association informed its membership Wednesday that the league's 700-plus players will receive all of their escrowed payments plus interest as well as additional "shortfall" payments of between 3.5 to 4.5 per cent. Once the final accounting was done on the 2005-06 season it was determined players didn't take up their full share of the 54 per cent of league revenues coming their way under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement.contiued

More Injuries Coming
09/20/06 at 05:23 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Michael Fargber of Sports Illustrated,
The first thing that fans might notice is that some of the players with bigger curves have problems handling or passing the puck -- the reasons why a handful of general managers were originally reluctant to make a change. Of course, the perception of the bigger curves might change when a rising shot clips a visor-less defenseman's eye and changes that player's perception permanently. For the moment, the Board of Governors' anticipated move is one more reminder that the PA is the only union in the world that does not make safety in the workplace its leading priority. Not to dump all this on the association. Too often, the PA is in tune with its rank and file, which prefers the freedom to choose on the visor issue, picks its helmets based on how they look in the mirror, and tolerates the current icing rule. Actually, the more-liberal curve suits an important part of the PA's constituency: skilled European players who grew up playing under International Ice Hockey Federation rules, which permitted a larger curve.read on

Everybody Into The Pool
09/20/06 at 03:43 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The temptation, when selecting your hockey-pool team for the upcoming 2006-07 season, is ponder last year's scoring totals, discover that two players — the San Jose Sharks' Joe Thornton and the New York Rangers' Jaromir Jagr — were head-and-shoulders above the rest of the competition; and rank them 1-2 again. Theoretically, the problem with this strategy is it flies against the face of recent history. Over the past couple of years, the National Hockey League's scoring champion one seaon, had a difficult time cracking the top 30 the next.continued...plus their top 200 players for your pool...

Listen Closely
09/20/06 at 03:13 PM ET | Comments (0)
The New York Rangers did a recent interview with Brendan Shanahan and I would hope more athletes would read these words carefully...
"There's a certain degree of professionalism that has to do with how you carry yourself on and off the ice. Preparation and things like that," he said. "I was fortunate to play with some great veterans, and now and in recent years, I've been kind of thrust in the position where I'm a veteran player and other young players you notice are kind of looking at you. Some don't want information, but others can't get enough of it."Brendan also had this to say about the original six teams, and it does make me wonder why many of the Detroit fans were happy to see him leave...
"Just the traditions and the histories of the Original Six are something pretty special," said Shanahan. "When you've got alumni who date way back. In Detroit we had Ted Lindsay or Gordie Howe coming down to our dressing room, and things like that. It makes it really special and it adds to the importance of what we're doing. The other clubs are all developing their own traditions and histories, but the Original Six teams obviously have an edge."more

Fedorov Out 4-6 Weeks
09/20/06 at 02:55 PM ET | Comments (0)
via the AP,
Blue Jackets center Sergei Fedorov will be out four to six weeks after injuring his left shoulder in an exhibition game, the club said on Wednesday. A team spokesman would not elaborate on the injury. The 16-year NHL veteran, who spent most of his career with the Detroit Red Wings, was injured in the second period of Columbus' 4-1 victory over Buffalo Tuesday night. Fedorov was skating toward the right side of the net when Sabres rookie forward Jiri Novotny came from behind and kicked out Fedorov's left leg. Fedorov was upended and slid into the boards. Blue Jackets coach Gerard Gallant said after the game that it was a clean play and Novotny was not trying to hurt Fedorov.

See all posts tagged with Miami Marlins »
South Park once said, "If irony were strawberries, we'd all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now."
A truck delivering fish crashed into the Loria Center, named for Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, on Monday morning. No one was injured.
Perfect. Just perfect. Utter perfection.
Its only fitting that after a disastrous Marlins season, a truck full of fish its a building named after the owner. Pretty much how the Marlins season has gone so far.
Yale police officer William Holohan said that the driver's gas pedal stuck as he lost control of the truck. The truck had just come from across the street at Jonathan Edwards College.
"[The driver] was attempting to straighten out the truck," Holohan said. "I don't know how it ended up on the sidewalk."
It appears as if its only minor damage to the building. The metal paneling was pretty dented and a glass-panelled door was shattered upon impact.
How many more fish must get ruined by Loria?
Yesterday, we finished the American League and now move onto the National League. The NL East to be exact. The Marlins have a new name, new stadium, and a new team, but will that be enough? Can the Phils repeat? How will the Braves respond to their epic collapse?
So let's do this thing!
1st- Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are the five time defending NL East champions and there's no reason they can't make it six.
The Phillies have a great pitching rotation even though Roy Oswalt is gone. Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, and Cliff Lee might have the best top three arms in the game. They made a risky signing in Jonathan Papelbon in the offseason. Papelbon is one of the best closers in the games, but he was signed to a contract much to long for a closer of his age.
Ryan Howard is coming off an Achilles injury from the playoffs, so we shall see how he recovers from that. Chase Utley is looking to rebound from an off year and has been going downhill the past three seasons. They did sign Ty Wigginton and he could replace Placido Polanco at third.
2nd- Miami Marlins
New name, new uniforms, new stadium, new players it's all coming together for the Miami Marlins.
The Marlins somehow found some money and went on a spending tear equivalent to a teenage girl with a new credit card. The Marlins signed Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, and Heath Bell to fill holes on this Marlins team. Buehrle and Josh Johnson will make a formidable one-two punch down in South Beach.
Jose Reyes will unseat Hanley Ramirez at shortstop as Hanley moves to third. Ramirez is upset at the move to third and could prove to be a distraction to this team. John Buck and Gaby Sanchez are solid players that will contribute to this suddenly good Marlin offense.
The outfield looks pretty good, too. Giancarlo Stanton is a star and Logan Morrison is a solid starter, although his batting average dipped a bit last year. Chris Coghlan and Emilio Bonifacio will platoon in center field.
Ozzie Guillen will provide the fire and intensity that the Marlins need. Unfortunately, the Marlins are in the NL East and have to get past the Phillies and Braves. It's a good start, but still need some help.
3rd- Atlanta Braves
After the Braves collapse, the Braves pretty much stayed pat this offseason. When the Marlins upgraded and the Phillies still have the great pitching that they do, it's going to be hard to win the East.
Tim Hudson is getting older, but is still the clear ace of this Braves staff. Tommy Hanson had a so-so ERA last year (3.60 ERA) and Jair Jurrjens is back, despite the Braves wanting to unload him. Brandon Beachy led the Braves in strikeouts last season and will be the fourth starter for the Braves.
Chipper Jones is 40 years old and will most likely make a trip or two to the DL. Dan Uggla needs to get off to a good start, the Braves can't afford another slow start from Uggla. Jason Heyward needs a good year to prove he isn't a one hit wonder.
They still have a young and talented closer and set up man in Craig Kimbrel and Jonny Venters, respectively. So there is still hope for the Braves, but the Marlins made major strides and the Phillies are still the Phillies.
4th- Washington Nationals
Strasburg is back!
The Nationals are improving every year, but are stuck in the deep NL East. The Nats added Edwin Jackson to be the number three behind Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez. Jackson is an iffy pitcher with flashes of greatness, but he will be inconsistent this season. Gonzalez will be the workhouse of this Nats staff with Strasburg most likely on a pitch count.
Jayson Werth needs a bounce back season to shut up the naysayers, but I just don't see it happening. Other than Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse, the Nationals lineup seems pretty pedestrian, so it is imperative that Werth needs a great season.
Bryce Harper could see some playing time this season in the outfield while moving Morse to first.
5th- New York Mets
The Mets are in a tough division and have a team that slashed payroll and lost their best player to a division rival.
Hunker down, Mets fans, it's going to be a long season.
Other than David Wright, the Mets have no one to help him. Jason Bay has been a monumental bust for the Mets (So glad the Sox didn't sign him now). Ike Davis is a good player, but needs to be consistent in order for the Mets to be respectable this season. Andres Torres is a weak starting center fielder and Ruben Tejada will replace Reyes at shortstop, but he is no Jose Reyes.
Johan Santana hasn't pitched well in years and Mets fans shouldn't expect much from him this year. The rest of the rotation is below average and in a division that has deep pitching, it's going to hurt the Mets badly this year.
You can add another team to the list that want Cuban superstar Yoenis Cespedes. The Boston Red Sox.
According to sources, the Red Sox are "sending everyone" to the Dominican Republic to evaluate Cespedes. Other teams are also interested like the Rangers, Blue Jays, Pirates, A's, Indians, and Marlins.
The five tool center fielder is regarded as the best Cuban import in a generation. The Red Sox already have a center fielder in Jacoby Ellsbury, but could easily move him around to possibly right field, a need for the Red Sox, so Cespedes could play center field.
The Red Sox have the money to sign him to a contract he is demanding, he wants a deal similar to Aroldis Chapman's five year, $30 million.
Boston should take a chance on him. It would be a huge splash for Ben Cherington and a coming out party for him. The Sox already signed Lackey and Crawford to bloated deals (Crawford turned it around later in the year), so Cespedes demand is very reasonable for the Red Sox.
However, the Yankees are also in on Cespedes. The Yankees have an edge over the Red Sox simply because of the history of Cuban players. Also, the Yanks have deep pockets and can afford to give Cespedes MORE than he wants.
Cespedes looks like he is going to be a star, according to most scouts, and whoever gets him will be set up nicely for the future.
