The core issues in the Paris climate talks
Leaders at the February 2015 UNFCCC conference in Geneva. Photo courtesy UNFCCC.
The final year of U.N. talks aimed at producing a new global climate agreement kicked off this week in Geneva. As negotiators wrestle with the working draft of the new agreement, it's clear that all the core issues remain very much in play.
The talks, under the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), were launched in 2011 in Durban, South Africa, and are to conclude this December in Paris. The aim is a post-2020 agreement "with legal force" and "applicable to all."
The more immediate goal in Geneva is to produce a "draft negotiating text," which technically must be in circulation at least six months before Paris. But the text emerging from Geneva will be very far from a finished product. The starting point this week was a 39-page collection of parties' proposals forwarded from COP 20 in December in Lima. By mid-week, the working draft had grown to nearly 90 pages.
The unwieldy text reflects the wide disparities remaining on all the core issues in shaping the Paris agreement.
Countries will soon begin submitting their "intended nationally determined contributions" to the agreement. That these INDCs (focused primarily on constraining greenhouse gas emissions) will be "nationally determined" suggests that the agreement will have a strong "bottom-up" character. Much of what's at issue is whether and how to blend in "top-down" elements to create a hybrid agreement that delivers both broad participation and stronger ambition.
Here are some of the core issues for the year:
Differentiation – Developed countries want to do away with the stark differentiation seen in the Kyoto Protocol, which set binding emissions targets for developed countries only. But most developing countries are resisting the proposed alternative: accepting a de facto self-differentiation as countries tailor their contributions to their own circumstances.
Finance – More than $10 billion was pledged recently to support mitigation and adaptation in developing countries through the newly established Green Climate Fund. Developing countries are trying to hold developed countries to their commitment to mobilize $100 billion a year in public and private finance by 2020, and want assurances of increased flows in the years beyond. Developed nations want to broaden the circle of donor countries, so the onus is not entirely on them.
Adaptation – Developing countries argue that the UNFCCC historically has been too mitigation-centric and adaptation has gotten short shrift. Many fought unsuccessfully in Lima to include adaptation in the scope of INDCs (countries can address it if they choose to), and are now pushing other ways to devote more attention and resources to the issue.
Legal character – Beyond a stipulation that the agreement will have "legal force," there's no consensus on precisely what form it will take – or, more importantly, which particular elements will be legally binding. While the United States, for instance, might be prepared for binding procedural commitments (such as commitments to make a nationally determined contribution, and report on its implementation), it opposes binding emission targets.
Transparency – Existing UNFCCC requirements for the reporting and review of countries' efforts are bifurcated: a more rigorous system for developed countries than for developing. Developed countries are pushing for a common framework covering all parties.
Ambition – The initial round of national contributions will not reduce global emissions enough to meet the goal of limiting warming to 2°C. Some parties are pushing, and others resisting, a mechanism to bring parties back to the table at regular intervals to up their contributions.
Despite the slow pace in the negotiating room, there are encouraging signs from capitals that Paris could in fact deliver a meaningful agreement.
The joint announcement last year by the United States and China of their respective post-2020 targets showed that both want a deal. Add in the European Union, which also has announced its target, and that accounts for more than half the world's emissions. India, meanwhile, has begun devoting more attention to climate change, with the new prime minister telling his diplomats this week to "shed old mindsets" and help the country position itself as a leader.
Ten months out, it's dangerous to venture predictions. But if the political will among the major economies keeps strengthening, Paris could prove our best chance since the UNFCCC's launch more than 20 years ago for a balanced, durable agreement that – while it won't solve climate change – will help put us on track.
6 rules for happy climate partnerships
One city, company, state or nation can't solve our climate and energy challenges overnight. Meaningful progress requires a variety of approaches by multiple actors, and that's why partnerships are critical.
The benefits, indeed, the necessity of partnering and collaborating on climate action is increasingly being recognized.
The MIT 2014 Sustainability Report notes that "a growing number of companies are turning to collaborations — with suppliers, NGOs, industry alliances, governments, even competitors — to become more sustainable." Collaborating with non-traditional partners was the focus of this month's National Association of Clean Water Agencies' (NACWA) Winter Conference, where C2ES President Bob Perciasepe touted the benefits of water and energy utility partnerships. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will recognize the importance of innovative partnerships for the first time in the upcoming 2015 Climate Leadership Awards to be announced Feb. 24 in Washington D.C.
Successful partnerships on climate and energy challenges, like successful relationships, take work. So in honor of Valentine's Day, we offer the following six rules for strong partnerships:
1. Be authentic and honest. Coming into the partnership with a clear understanding of what drives your organization and the motivation for partnering can influence the success of the project. As McKinsey&Company puts it, "Any collaboration must make sense for all parties, whether their primary interests are commercial, environmental, or social. Enlightened self-interest is the only genuinely sustainable motive."
2. Share a joint vision of the future. Agreeing on the expectations and goals of the partnership helps establish a shared language, which is a key ingredient for developing a sense of trust. For example, the C2ES Make an Impact program works with companies to craft of a vision of a successful employee engagement program and then works collaboratively to create and deliver a unique engagement campaign.
3. Fill roles that accentuate strengths. Companies often partner with nonprofits, universities or companies in their supply chains to bring together the right mix of resources to achieve goals. As partnerships are developing, it's important to understand each organization's strengths and constraints. For example, an organization with unique expertise but a mission not tightly aligned with a partnership's goal could still make a valuable contribution.
4. Remember: Your partner doesn't need to fill every role for you. "You complete me" is a beautiful thought as long as it's coming from Jerry Maguire. Given the complexity of some climate challenges, some efforts will require more than two actors. For example, the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative brings together a number of public agencies as well as universities and nonprofits to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for local climate change impacts and share their learnings.
5. Things should be good - most of the time. There can be a lot of negotiating and management associated with developing and maintaining truly transformative partnerships. Organization leaders have to put in the time and sometimes make concessions for the collaboration to succeed. That said, it is important that the benefits and value created through the collaboration outweigh the transaction costs of the time and resources required to participate in the partnership.
6. Allow your partner to evolve - and let yourself evolve, too. Organizational evolution is expected. Internal and external priorities, strategies, and ability to contribute to partnerships change over time. Some changes in leadership and markets will provide growth opportunities but may require the partnership to adjust. Maintaining an open dialogue will go far in preserving what the relationship has already delivered and ensuring that everyone is aware of and can respond to evolving conditions.
C2ES will explore these best practices and the role of innovative partnerships in climate solutions in a side event at the 2015 Climate Leadership Conference, which is a platform for powerful collaboration on climate. The conference gathers forward-thinking leaders from business, government, academia, and the non-profit community to explore energy and climate solutions. Online registration closes Feb. 18.
Taking action on climate change is good business strategy
A new C2ES report highlights lessons useful for companies and policymakers as more states and countries consider carbon pricing to spur innovative technologies and cut emissions at the lowest possible cost.
The report, written for the World Bank's Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR), examines how three companies — Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Rio Tinto, and Royal Dutch Shell -- prepared for carbon pricing programs.
The PMR shares this type of information with developing countries to help them create their own market-based policies. We were pleased to partner with the PMR to explore how a few of the companies in our Business Environmental Leadership Council prepared for carbon pricing and we thank the companies for sharing their expertise.
The lessons they shared fall into two categories – what business can learn from other companies operating in carbon markets and what governments considering market-based climate policy can learn from business.
Lessons for companies include:
- Incorporate climate change into a company's strategy. Regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions can affect many industries, especially those that are energy-intensive. Companies need top-level support for a comprehensive climate change strategy that leverages expertise across the company. For instance, in 1998, Shell conducted its first formal study on the potential impact of climate-related regulations on its global business. Then managing director and later CEO Jeroen van der Veer was the driving force behind the study, which built an internal case for climate action.
- Monitor, report, and verify (MRV) greenhouse gas emissions. A first step is often to build a greenhouse gas inventory. The inventory helps a company understand its direct and indirect emissions and anticipate its exposure to new carbon pricing regulation. For example, some of Rio Tinto's units started collecting inventory emissions as far back as the mid-1990s, several years before any regulations required them to do so. Today, Rio Tinto continues to measure and report on emissions from most operations, even in jurisdictions where there is no reporting requirement.
- Identify risks and opportunities. By engaging in the policymaking process, companies can reduce uncertainty as well as identify business opportunities.
- Build knowledge and skill early. There are many ways to increase company knowledge of future carbon policies, such as participating in a voluntary offset market to understand the methodologies, rules, and processes for acquiring carbon credits. PG&E gained experience with offsets in 2007 through its ClimateSmart program. Working with the Climate Action Reserve, PG&E supported the development of several offset protocols, and some of the protocols were later adopted by California's cap-and-trade program. These activities can also build in-house expertise, including how to handle carbon trading transactions.
Lessons for policymakers include:
- Create a predictable regulatory environment. An environment of predictability, consistency, and flexibility is key to helping companies plan with confidence.
- Introduce early emissions reporting. Introducing reporting requirements in advance of carbon pricing regulations gives companies time to build an inventory of accurate emissions data.
- Include flexible market mechanisms. Certain design features, such as offsets and the banking and/or borrowing of allowances, can provide flexibility and improve the efficiency of a new program.
- Balance stakeholder interests. Each company and sector will have its own set of interests under a carbon pricing regime. The goal is to balance different interests and find solutions that benefit society as a whole.
The lesson for both companies and policymakers is that for an emissions policy to meet government objectives in a way that is also workable for the business community, it is crucial to create an open and transparent dialogue. This dialogue is essential as more states and countries look to carbon pricing.
Almost 40 countries and more than 20 cities, states, and provinces already use carbon pricing mechanisms or are planning to implement them. South Korea launched its carbon pricing program in January. China is running pilot carbon pricing programs in seven cities and two provinces and intend to release a plan for a national program next year. South Africa will also implement a carbon pricing program next year.
More than a quarter of the U.S. population lives in a state with a price on carbon, and some states may consider the policy as a way to implement new power plant emissions standards.
Getting ahead of the curve and preparing for these programs is just sound business strategy.
Answers to 3 key questions about the hottest year on record
Last year was the warmest globally in the 135 years since records have been kept. That was confirmed today by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
What's significant about one year's temperature?
What does one record-breaking year say about climate change? Alone, very little, but 2014's heat did not happen in isolation. It was part of a longer streak of warm years. The last 38 years have been warmer than the 20th century average. All of the top 10 warmest years have occurred since 1998. Taken together, these warm years demonstrate that the Earth's climate has changed and continues to change. The "warm streak" also provides a strong argument against those who claim global warming somehow stopped in the last 15-20 years. Although it is true that the rate of warming since 1998 was slower than in prior decades, the longer-term picture is unequivocal. The planet is still warming up. And as we've discussed previously, the ups and downs that occur over a few years or even a decade should not be used to undermine (or unnecessarily embellish) the reality of the broad warming trend.
Another interesting aspect of 2014 is that the high-temperature mark was broken without much help from El Niño. El Niño events occur when a large area of the tropical Pacific Ocean maintains above-average temperatures for many consecutive months. So, when we have an El Niño, the planet has a good chance of being warm as a whole. El Niños helped make 1998, 2005, and 2010 some of the warmest years in the temperature record. However, in 2014, ocean conditions fell somewhere between neutral and a bona fide El Niño (see NOAA's recent blog on the state of El Niño).

Resolve to make an impact at work in 2015
If your New Year's resolution is to make a difference, why not start at work?
A majority of us say we'd be more satisfied if we had a job where we could make a social or environmental impact on the world. A recent study shows Millennials especially see businesses as potential partners in helping them make the world a better place.
No matter your title or department, or if it's just you working in your home office, you can help make your workplace a little greener and reduce the emissions that are contributing to climate change.
Here are 8 steps to consider giving a try:

.comment: Can Microsoft Hurt Linux? In a Word, No.
Appeal Not, Lest Ye Be Appealed
Microsoft Corporation and the U.S. Department of Justice are back in court this week, as the monopolist maker of mediocre software seeks to have overturned the ruling by U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson that if upheld could see the company divided.
And there are lots of people in the general computing community who act as if they think the outcome somehow matters. It doesn't.
The only judicial ruling that would restore anything resembling a level playing field would be for the Court of Appeals to enjoin Microsoft from allowing the shipment of any of its software preloaded for a period of nine years. (It was in 1992 that the company established its monopoly through its iron-clad preload agreements.) With such a ruling, people who wanted Microsoft products would have to go out and buy them, or download them. They would not be able to buy them pre-installed. And people who wanted something else would be able to buy computers without paying the Microsoft tax.
That's not going to happen, either.
There is also concern over the new administration and whether its generally more business-friendly philosophy will cause it to, in effect, take a dive in the Microsoft appeal. In that there are some pretty pro-business, conservative folks arguing against Microsoft and in behalf of Microsoft's competitors, that concern is probably unfounded. And in that the remedy ordered by Judge Jackson isn't good for much anyway, it's of little importance.
This anything-but-exciting courtroom drama comes just as the Redmond leviathan is firing its first shots in its full assault on Linux.
I propose that that doesn't much matter, either.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Some Wings Have A Lot To Play For
by Paul on 09/19/06 at 11:31 AM ET

"It's been a pretty good four or five days," Chelios said Monday night after playing in the camp's intersquad championship game. "I'm looking forward to getting home and playing some exhibition games... "It'll be nice to play against other faces and play when it counts for something." Some may argue that the players aren't really playing for anything during the exhibition season. Not true, said Wings head coach Mike Babcock. There's plenty on the line, even for the younger players who have no realistic chance of making the team. "They have a lot to play for," Babcock said. "They understand it's a process. They're trying to be part of a program. If they play well, they get a contract. If they don't, they won't."more

YouŌĆÖve been steering your ship toward your dream for ages. ItŌĆÖs hard work, but youŌĆÖre determined to make it happen. The dream is too important to abandon; youŌĆÖve dedicated years of your life to making it come true.
I applaud you for your dedication! It is hard work to make a dream come true. It takes single-minded determination and perseverance. It takes effort and hard work and plenty of guts.
Now IŌĆÖm going to ask you to take a big step back and take a good look at your dream. Is it still what you want to do? Is the dream still important enough to you to dedicate your life to?
Are you still steering your ship toward your land of fulfillment? Or have your priorities changed?
ItŌĆÖs easy to get sucked in and lose sight of TODAY. Your dream was so important once upon a time that you canŌĆÖt imagine it isnŌĆÖt that important now. Years ago, when you started steering your ship in that direction, it was exactly what you wanted. Your dream was tailor made and perfect.
But youŌĆÖve changed. Perhaps your situation has changed. Your needs and wants have shifted. Is that dream still worth working for?
I can think of a few friends who are in exactly this situation. At one point in time, they made their dream happen. It was wonderful and exciting and everything they ever wanted. Now, the dream has become stale, but they havenŌĆÖt quite accepted that yet. At least thatŌĆÖs my perception.
I look back upon my life and see how my wants have changed throughout the years. When I was in my twenties, all I wanted was to travel. The travel bug consumed me to the point where I could taste it. As I taught in my classroom, all I thought about was the adventures to be had gallivanting around the world.
My thirties were all about professional development. I was passionate about teaching and learning. I wanted to understand what was happening inside my studentsŌĆÖ brains and to figure out how to be the best teacher I could be.
By the time my forties came around I was ready to head back out into the world again, but this time I wanted a physical challenge. I wasnŌĆÖt interested in traveling by train, plane, and bus. I wanted to see the world slowly from the vantage point of a bicycle seat.
Now, in my fifties, that passion has calmed and IŌĆÖm ready to move on to other things. Now IŌĆÖm excited about my artwork and writing, but the idea of travel doesnŌĆÖt appeal much at all.
It was hard to accept that I didnŌĆÖt want to travel anymore. I had worked so hard to make our bike journeys happen and never thought the day would come when I didnŌĆÖt want to head back out on the bike. I felt like a traitor to myself; like I was betraying my very essence and turning my back on who I was.
I know now that had I continued steering that ship toward bike touring I would have been moving off course. My dreams and desires have changed, and I needed to have the courage and guts to take hold of my ship and steer it toward what makes me fulfilled now. The hardest part of that whole process was admitting to myself that I no longer wanted to travel.
I ask you now: are you steering your ship toward todayŌĆÖs goal? Or yesterdayŌĆÖs? They may very well be one and the same, but ask yourself honestly and donŌĆÖt be afraid of the answer.

In war, there are lives risked and lives taken Men and women giving their best to defend what they love They defend their country Their honor Their people
A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas about God. Here are some of the results:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.
"Hey mom! He yelled from the attic door, 'What's these old heavy boots and hard hat for?" With a lump in her throat and a tear stained cheek,
After he arrived, he would ride the bus to visit nursing home. He discovered the driver gave him a quarter too much change. Considering what to do, he thought, "I'd better give it back.
He was just a little boy, On a week's first day. Wandering home from Bible school, And dawdling on the way.
I have in my hands two boxes which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, and all your joys in the gold."

Wrapping up a segment on CNBC's Closing Bell on Tuesday, reporter John Harwood suggested that Hillary Clinton's use of personal email to conduct State Department correspondence may well have been just a case of "excessive caution" on her part.

Several conservative economic thinkers including CNBC's Larry Kudlow and media magnate Steve Forbes recently formed the Committee to Unleash American Prosperity in an effort to persuade aspiring presidents to focus on "the paramount challenge facing our country: slow growth and stagnant incomes."
Three economists in the group explained their goals in a March 3, Investor's Business Daily op-ed.

Sad news today that M. Stanton Evans, newspaper editor, founder of the National Journalism Center, conservative leader and author who wrote ten books, passed away at age 80. In 2006, Stan rewarded the Media Research Center and our audience, at the 2006 MRC Gala and DisHonors Awards, by accepting in jest, on behalf of Rosie O'Donnell, the "I'm Not a Political Genius But I Play One on TV Award."

MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews escalated his rage over Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, Tuesday, hinting that the Israeli prime minister delivered what amounts to a coup. Appearing on his cable network for analysis, Matthews darkly warned, "This man from a foreign government walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy."

Everyone knows that college campuses are hubs for liberal groupthink and propaganda. But the media never cover the presence of conservative voices on campuses. So MRC Culture asked conservative students at CPAC, "Have you ever been treated differently because you're a conservative on campus?"
The answers we got were not surprising and reveal stories that the media is too biased to report.

In a Tuesday article for National Journal, senior political columnist Ron Fournier blasted Hillary Clinton over the breaking email scandal and even suggested she give up her presidential ambitions: "Perhaps Hillary Rodham Clinton shouldn't run for president....Because she doesn't seem ready for 2016. Like a blast of wintry air in July, the worst of 1990s-style politics is intruding on what needs to be a new millennium campaign: Transparent, inspirational, innovative, and beyond ethical reproach."

What was supposed to be a report on a constitutional battle in Alabama by CNN's Elliott C. McLaughlin quickly transformed into what can only be described as gushing celebration of a triumph over traditional marriage advocates who are stuck living in the past.
McLaughlin begans his piece on CNN.com with the story of a father of a gay man calling his son's wedding "disgusting." He then pours contempt on the father as if he were a Klansman saying, "Disgusting, a word one might use to describe child molesters or a dead opossum in the road, was being applied to a couple of seven years exchanging vows that they'd love and cherish each other forever."

New York's Times republished a Greenpeace press release on the front page of its Sunday, 22nd February edition that attacks Willie Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics for obtaining $1.2 million in funding for his research over the last decade from energy corporations, electric utilities, and charitable foundations related to those companies. The press release, cleverly disguised as an article supposedly written by Times reporters Justin Gillis and John Schwartz, also claims that Dr. Soon did not adequately disclose the sources of his funding in articles published in scientific journals.

In today's speech, Benjamin Netanyahu took a not-so-subtle shot at John Kerry: will the MSM notice? The Israeli PM otherwise went out of his way to be bi-partisan, finding ways to praise President Obama and even Harry Reid.
But Kerry came in for a stinging swipe when Netanyahu said "last year, the same [Iranian foreign minister] Zarif, who charms Western diplomats, laid a wreath at the grave of Imad Mughniyeh. Imad Mughniyeh is the terrorist mastermind who spilled more American blood [at the Beirut Marine barracks bombing] than any other terrorist besides Osama bin Laden. I'd like to see someone ask him a question about that." Wonder just which Western diplomat Bibi had in mind, John? And Netanyahu threw down the gauntlet: do you dare raise the issue with Zarif next time you go for a stroll with him?

Moments after Benjamin Netanyahu finished his speech to Congress on Tuesday, liberal CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour asserted that Israeli prime minister was hyping the threat of a nuclear Iran, and likened him to a famous movie character: "It was a very dark, Strangelovian speech painting a picture of a really dystopian world, raising the specter...of a genocidal regime spraying nuclear weapons to annihilate the whole world and the whole region."

Seconds after Benjamin Netanyahu ended his speech on Tuesday to Congress, the journalists at MSNBC began attacking it. Chris Matthews appeared and sneered that the Israeli prime minister "never mentioned the real world" in his address. The Hardball host insisted that Iraq was "the war [Netanyahu] talked us into." The journalist berated, "The reason Baghdad is under control of the Shia and under the control of Iran is he pushed that! And he never mentioned that! So, being a hawk all the time takes away some of your credibility, always being a hawk."

In an interview with former Obama White House press secretary and current NBC political analyst Robert Gibbs on Tuesday's Today, co-host Matt Lauer saw big problems for Hillary Clinton in the wake of revelations that she used a private email account during her tenure as secretary of state: "It provides a lay-up, doesn't it Robert, for her critics who say this is all about a lack of transparency as she prepares for a run in 2016, that you can't go back and look at those emails?"

High School Performance Training (Formerly AAD)
(Males and females, ages 15+, Monday-Friday: 4:00-5:30 p.m.,
The High School Performance Training program is a small group program that expands on the fundamentals learned in the
Youth Performance program
. Sessions focus on the mastery of movement mechanics as well as developing the appropriate strength and power to apply to more specific movement skills (ie. speed & agility). This program is more advanced and is recommended for ages 15 to 18+.
This program includes:
• Periodic Performance Assessment & Testing
• Prescribed Injury Prevention Exercises (P.I.P.E.s) specific to each individual's needs
• Tailored Strength Program Design customized to meet performance goals
Testing and evaluation results will be used to create a tailored program which will enhance the specific goals of the client. Through this individually prescription-based process we can effectively create a synergistic training effect that greatly diminishes performance detractors and maximizes performance enhancers.
Classes are unique because they are offered in an "unlimited" structure. This means athletes can participate as many days during the week as well as participate in back-to-back sessions. Our training methodology and programming provides for a progression within each workout and a progression from week to week. Each training session is different and is designed to maximize results without ever overtraining.

I love Knickle's input in the recap on all of these guys (except Samuelsson).
Jordan is a guy that I really targeted from last year. I live in Vancouver, so hes a guy that I see quite a bit. Certain things about him just kept developing. He went from 11 goals last year to 40 this year Hes a guy that
I think is going to go right into the American League this year
he has a chance to play some games for us.
He plays that style of play; hes a real power forward, good with the puck, goes to the net Hes a centerman, which is what we need. He plays all situations We targeted him and we thought that he may not be there at 58. We kind of crossed our fingers and he was there.
By "us" does he mean the Coyotes? That statement would seem redundant if he meant the Pirates.
Melindy is a a big, right-handed shot defenseman who is mobile. Hes from Newfoundland - Im a Maritimer myself - and a lot of guys who come off 'The Rock' have that character about them I know the coaches in Moncton real well and they speak very highly of him. Hes a real good mobile skating, developing player. Hes getting to be a little bit tougher, a little bit more physical for his size. Hes a good player
I really appreciated that when he was playing in the playoffs they matched him up against Nathan MacKinnon, who will probably be the first or second overall pick (in next years draft).
Holland played Tier 2 in the Alberta Junior League in Okotoks, which is just south of Calgary. Hes going to Michigan State next year...
After we lost Harrison Ruopp
in the trade for Zbynek Michalek, I felt we needed to replace him
. So, we took Rhett Holland and I believe he is a
better skater and maybe meaner (than Ruopp)
. Hes nasty, really tough, but he can play. Hes got some ability, he can move. His rights are owned by Regina of the Western Hockey League, so he could possibly go that route.
I never want to push a kid one way or the other. Its up to him to decide whats best for his best development. Well talk about that.
Difference in philosophy than Maloney? Wasn't he the one who pushed Murphy towards Sarnia instead of Miami? Also, I can't remember previous prospect camps, was Ruopp really so good that we needed to replace him?
Hes a really skilled defenseman. He was a forward two years ago, and you can see it in his game when he plays, he can go up the ice with the puck and sometimes he jumps in and then remembers, 'Oh, Im a defenseman now. Ive got to stay back.'... With his ability with the puck and his vision, we look at him as a power-play guy. Hes a little bit of a wild card. Being a forward and going back and playing defense, youve got to learn some things that you need to work on defensively, but with his skill-set and hockey sense, he was too good to pass up for us.
Were trying to get better skill and this guy has really good puck skills.
Skill is certainly something we are lacking...
He played on a good team at Shattuck-St. Marys with a few other guys that got drafted Myself and another scout went and saw him in a tournament in Calgary and he really stepped up and played. Hes a good forward down low, he protects the puck, he plays the game the way the game has become; down low and using your size. I wouldnt consider him as a power forward, but he does puck protect very well Hes going to a good school and hes going to develop there. We like his potential.
Being a former goaltender, I know goaltenders take longer to develop. Hes a European goalie,
but hes coming over to play in the CHL next year
Hes a big, athletic goalie. I think he needs a good goalie coach and we have one in Sean Burke, and hopefully wherever he goes in the Canadian Hockey League theyll have a good goalie coach there as well.
Didn't know he was going to the CHL.
Hache is a defenseman that played with (Coyotes prospect) Brandon Gormley in Shawinigan. He got traded to Cape Breton this year, so hell be playing in Cape Breton Hes more of a stay-at-home, smart defenseman, and hes a puck-moving guy Hes a good player. We like him.
Hes a hockey-sense guy. Thats a key thing for me for defensemen
I really like Knickle's philosophy in drafting.

Minnesota scales back deer hunt: Most areas in and around Bemidji will be in lottery zones
DULUTH -- Fewer Minnesota deer hunters will get the chance to shoot antlerless deer this fall, under conservative deer hunting regulations announced Wednesday by the Department of Natural Resources.
Faced with fewer deer in many areas of the state following two severe winters and high hunter harvest rates for the past decade, the DNR has dramatically scaled back antlerless permits.

Maude Frankland Parker died on Sept. 14, 2013, at the age of 93. She was born on June 13, 1920, to John MacRea Parker and Winifred Stafford Parker in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
In 1941, she graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in economics from Vassar College. After earning an R.N. degree from Columbia University, she worked for a short time as a nurse. She also attended Yale School of Public Health. While at Vassar, she was introduced to the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and that is where her life of service, pacifism and non-violent resistance began. While still in college, she volunteered in an American Friends Service Committee work camp with migrant farm workers in California and later co-directed the first AFSC interracial work camp in the south.
A source of pride to her, in 1948 Maude convinced a young doctor to let her use natural childbirth for her first child (and all subsequent children). She traveled from her home in Ohio to New Jersey to do this. In 1951, she and her husband, Martin White, moved with their family to Orinda, Calif. They were very active in the Friends Meeting in Berkeley.
In addition to raising six children, she also worked for 10 years at Child Protective Services in Contra Costa County. Maude retired in 1978 and moved to Berkeley until 1991 when she moved to Antioch to live with her daughter, Winnie, and family. She loved the years spent with her grandchildren. In 2004, Maude was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and moved to Fort Bragg to live with her grandson, Kyle, where they shared a home with support from family and other caregivers. Ultimately she moved to Sherwood Oaks where she was loved and cared for during the last years of her life.
Maude loved art and music, spoke French, played piano and was always singing. She was an avid lover of nature, hiked and camped, traveled and read. She loved to laugh and brightened the lives of all who knew her.
Maude is survived by her sons: Greg (Carole) White and children Hilary and Kyle, Fort Bragg; John White (Sid) and son, Frank, Haines, Alaska; Tom White of Concord; daughter, Katharine White and son, Abraham, of Fort Bragg and San Francisco; Beth White and daughter, Jessie, of Veneta, Ore.; and Winnie Duffy and children Maisie, Norah and Ciaran, of Antioch and San Diego. Four great-grandchildren and a sister also survive her.
A memorial to honor her life will be held at the Redwood Coast Senior Center in Fort Bragg, Calif., on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013, at 2:30 p.m.

CommonWealth REIT Comments On Corvex/Related Filing Of Preliminary Solicitation Materials
CommonWealth REIT (NYSE: CWH) (the "Company") today issued the following statement in response to the preliminary solicitation materials filed earlier today by Corvex Management LP and Related Fund Management, LLC ("Corvex/ Related").
CWH believes that Corvex/Related intend to solicit consents and proxies in another attempt to seize control of the Company for short term gains, and that a wholesale removal, without cause, of the entire CWH Board would materially harm CWH's business and operations. CWH's Board and management intend to vigorously defend CWH against Corvex/Related's hostile takeover campaign and efforts to circumvent regular election processes. The entire CWH Board and management remain focused on implementing our strategic plan to reposition the Company's portfolio towards high value office buildings located in urban and downtown locations and dispose of suburban properties and other non-core assets.
Despite the disruption that Corvex/Related has caused to CWH's business and operations for the last ten months, we have made good progress implementing our strategic plan. Upon completion of the sale of all 85 non-core properties we identified for sale during the last year, the large majority of CWH's portfolio will be located in higher value central business district, or CBD, locations, which we believe will materially increase value for all shareholders. In addition, after meeting with many of our shareholders over the last few months, we have committed to several corporate governance changes, including amending our management agreement and increasing the size of our Board. We have made significant progress implementing these governance changes and expect to make additional announcements in the near future.
The Board and management team have, and continue to be, committed to creating and protecting shareholder value. We are preparing CWH's preliminary revocation materials, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, of SEC, in the near future. Our materials will provide shareholders with the information they need to understand why we believe the Corvex/Related hostile takeover is not in shareholders' best interests. We urge shareholders to review these materials when they are filed with the SEC.

ProsThey make cheap crap? GPU hardware is good.
ConsThe Peter Principle is a belief that, in an organization where promotion is based on achievement, success, and merit, that organization's members will eventually be promoted beyond their level of ability
Boy is this true for AMD's "management". A tech company that's run like an automotive shop floor. The idiot "managers" like to feel important and always thump their "authority" at every opportunity. Read review from Feb 4.
If you stick around for long enough at AMD, survive a few layoffs, and wait out all the people with potential who leave for better jobs, you'll become management, and you'll have your own crop of rejects to boss around.
AMD is a second rate company, because they hire and promote second rate people. This is especially true in psuedo-technical departments (software QA). Software QA has no scientific process, it's as if the whole company runs on "compile and run" testing methodology that college kids use in CS 101 when learning to program. The intranet site is crap, all the software tools, bug tracking system are 10 years old.Advice to ManagementAdvice- Get some training. Get some people skills.
The whole company is a train-wreck. Anybody with potential, and value to add are/will leave the company. People who know they can't do any better linger, and the stench will only gets worse.
If I were an investor, I'd say the layoffs were not deep enough. Once mighty AMD is reduced to being a bit player. They don't need 10k employees, NVidia produces more shareholder value with 3000 LESS employees.Negative Outlook -

ProsThe founder, Jerry Sanders greatly appreciated the employees. Thus stockpiling great employee loyalty. The compensation was distributed fairly under his regime. Hector Ruiz followed as CEO who brought fiscal discipline but lacked true vision.
The coworkers were of the MOST helpful I encountered, especially during the reign of Sanders, Ruiz, and Meyer. Later CEOs and upper management caused the culture to turn downward whereby employees were only worried about themselves.ConsThe company sets unrealistic goals and refuses to listen from below.
Recently, in the past 5 years, management has abused and eroded employee loyalty.
The company lacks vision and has changes course too frequently.Advice to ManagementAdviceClean house at the Director and VP levels. Listen to the people doing the work. Stop putting your own goals ahead of the company's. After all, it's putting food on your table.

News & Rumors
In the RIM 1st Quarter Results conference call last week Jim Balsillie made mention that BlackBerry Unite! would soon be rolled out to the larger BlackBerry community and it looks like Jim's word is coming true...
Those of you in the USA can can now visit BlackBerry.com to download BlackBerry Unite!. Previously you had to be on a Canadian IP to grab it. If you're not familiar with Unite!, here's the overview:
BlackBerry Unite! software helps you coordinate and keep in touch with your family and provides access to files on your home computer while you're out. Or, use it in your small office to coordinate and collaborate with coworkers and keep business running smoothly. With BlackBerry Unite! software, you can stay connected to the people that matter most – while still enjoying all the great features BlackBerry smartphones have to offer!
In the time that Unite! has been out I've observed people either LOVE IT or they HATE IT, so you may want to Take a Tour before you install, or better yet, dig into the BlackBerry Unite threads in the CrackBerry forums.
[ Thanks to those who emailed this in, plus BerryReview via Joseph via BB Forums ]

A woman called police after a driver backed up and almost struck her vehicle in order to get a parking space at Old Country Buffet on April 21.
According to the Greenfield police report:
The woman was in the parking lot at Old Country Buffet, 4902 S. 76th St., about 5 p.m. April 21, when another driver backed up and nearly struck her vehicle. The other driver was trying to get a parking space.
The woman said she honked her horn at the other driver, who then "flipped her off" and told her, "Why don't you die?"
The woman then became frustrated and made sarcastic comments to the other driver.
The responding officer could not find the driver in question, but the woman was advised about exchanging hostilities with other drivers over a parking space.

Kinda sounds like you gave up. Should change the name of the Hex Core to UPGRADE!!! if it's just going to be "gotta collect 'em all."
Junior Member
Solcrushed, have you considered (with your current idea in mind) locking the hex core augments to one per ultimate lvl (pre 6 you can get 1 upgrade, then post 6 you can get another one, same with 11 and 16 (possibly opening up a 4rth upgrade for the ultimate))? To prevent say a fed Viktor to obtain all 3 upgrades really early on and overwhelming his opponents, that would possibly remove the need to actually nerf the stats of the upgrades with your current plans
Autumn Blues
MAKE HIM FLOAT! Twitch.tv/Captain_Ken Pacific 4:30APm
The biggest problem with Viktor I feel is his passive doesn't really feel like a passive. Take Rengar for example. He has his Bonetooth necklace (which for the record costs less than upgrading the hex core) Sure he doesn't start with his bonetooth necklace, but I think it would be easy to argue the point that the Bonetooth necklace is in many ways superior to the Hex Core. In addition Rengar has his passive where he can leap from bushes. He doesn't just have his unique item, unlike Viktor. Viktor's passive feels more like the Bonetooth necklace more than anything. The Bonetooth necklace grants Rengar great abilites as he starts to take off. The Hex Core provides Viktor with a minor boost to his AP and a small boost to one of his abilities. Rengar's Bonetooth necklace really makes you never want to leave home without it. The Hex Core, I could see other items that honestly would work better with Viktor's build instead. Sure the bonuses are nice to the abilities, but the stats it brings doesn't warrant it being on me every single time. Viktor needs a passive. Not an item. The Hex Core also feels weak to me. The AP boost is nice, but I always go for the Death augment because the other augments just feel so inferior. The Power augment is the only one I even consider, but that's only so I can skip out on getting the Chalice of Harmony. Granted I never do that, but it's crossed my mind.
Professor Maple
I've been trying out that "top lane viktor build" that I forget which Red uses and I really like the idea in practice. Hybrid Pen Reds, Armor yellows, Mr blues, MS quints. building augmentQ, furor boots, and 40% cdr with 9/21/0. This build sounds awesome in theory. Every time I use it though the lane goes poorly (even against champions that W is so good vs like jayce and elise). The only time I every get kills is when are dumb and dive me at turret, but if they don't do that I feel super weak. Compared to other top laners Viktor has real mana costs because he is balanced around having blue buff. Without blue (people won't give it to you) or chalice you will oom super fast just trying to keep minions for being pushed into your tower. Against physical top lanes, chalice is a poor first buy so I normally go for morellonomicon. in other words, I just feel week when I play vikor this way. Even when specing into his more ap bruiser build, I don't feel that I can compete with other champion of equal skill. It would be neat (and hard to balance :P) if his augments shifted him more into 3 different roles ( bruiser, utility, burst) by effecting more than just one spell.

AMBITION / INITIATIVE - Does employee demonstrate ambition in the position (not to move out of it, but to perform it) and take initiative to improve the process, product, or overall work environment?
How do I fairly evaluate an employee? When evaluating an employee for a periodic review, a raise, or a promotion, you need to have a checklist of measurable performance criteria that can be applied consistently to all members of your department. This article uses simple language to help you objectively evaluate how employees have performed their job duties and how they stack up against other employees in the same position.
NOTE: Keep these performance criteria in mind when preparing to meet with your boss on your own employee performance review!
Below are 15 performance criteria and 5 performance levels. Using these criteria as a guideline will ensure that you have fairly evaluated the employee. To obtain an overall rating of the employee, apply a performance level by number to each of the performance criteria. Add the total performance numbers and divide by 15.
AMBITION / INITIATIVE - Does employee demonstrate ambition in the position (not to move out of it, but to perform it) and take initiative to improve the process, product, or overall work environment?
ATTENDANCE - Has the employee's attendance (even within company guidelines) had a negative impact on the department productivity or morale? Has the employee's attendance been exemplary?
ATTITUDE / COOPERATION - What is the employee's attitude towards you, towards peers, towards the work in general? Is he or she a pleasure or a chore to work with? Is the employee reasonably flexible when asked to perform a job function outside his or her normal duties, or to work outside his or her normal hours for a special project?
COMMUNICATION SKILLS - Does the employee have the ability to adequately communicate with peers, managers, and customers? Have there been any issues created, or solved, due to the employee's communication skills?
DEPARTMENT AND COMPANY ORIENTED - Does the employee have a broader view and deeper understanding than simply his or her own duties? Does he or she speak of the department or company with pride?
FOCUS - Is the employee able to maintain focus on the task at hand? Does he or she have difficulty prioritizing job duties above personal business or socializing with other employees?
IMPROVEMENT FROM PREVIOUS EVALUATION - Has the employee demonstrated marked improvement from the previous performance evaluation?
INTEGRITY - Does the employee demonstrate ethical behavior in the workplace? Does he or she respect the privacy of other employees and of customers?
KNOWS WHEN TO ASK - Is the employee able to differentiate between independence and arrogance in the performance of job duties? Does he or she know when to ask a question rather than simply making a guess and moving on?
LEVEL OF TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE - Does the employee have and demonstrate an acceptable level of technical knowledge to perform his or her job duties?
PRODUCTIVITY / DEADLINES - Is the employee able to consistently meet productivity requirements and project deadlines?
QUALITY OF WORK - Has there been positive or negative feedback from customers regarding the quality of the employee's work? What have you observed regarding the employee's work quality?
RELIABILITY / GO-TO PERSON - Is the employee reliable? Does he or she consistently demonstrate competence and dependability? Is he or she your "go-to" person?
STRESS MANAGEMENT - How does the employee deal with changes in the work environment? Is he or she able to sift through the "noise" and focus on breaking down the task at hand in order to complete it on time? How does the employee interact with other members of the department when tensions are high?
TEAMWORK / PITCHING IN - If the department is short-handed, does the employee willingly pitch in to finish tasks assigned to others in the department as appropriate? Does the employee volunteer to assist?
1) Needs Improvement - Employee has not fully mastered the requirements of the job or is not able to perform in a way that reflects understanding of the job duties. Needs additional training or practice to meet standards.
2) Minimally Acceptable - Employee meets some of the essential functions, but has not demonstrated mastery of all job requirements.
3) Meets Standards - Employee has little or no difficulty applying the technical/knowledge requirements of the position to perform in a fully competent manner.
4) Exceeds Standards - Employee often exceeds standards in some aspects of the job, and fully and consistently meets standards in all remaining aspects.
5) Outstanding - Employee possesses and applies a depth of job knowledge that makes the job look easy. Continually enhances knowledge and skills through self-study and structured training. Mentors other employees, as appropriate.

I recently signed up with Telstra for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I have a work number and a personal number and don't want to forward the calls. I bought a MagicSim Elite Duel Sim adapter. Unfortunately when I have put everything in its right place it says No Sim. I have taken it out carefully and reinserted several times with no luck.
Telstra say the phone is unlocked but it is not recognising the MagicSim Duel Adapter.
Any Advice?
