In a discovery decades in the making, scientists have detected the first of a "theoretical" class of stars first proposed in 1975 by physicist Kip Thorne and astronomer Anna Żytkow.
A University of Colorado Boulder payload carrying a novel device designed to reduce the weight and cost of spacecraft fuel pumping systems has been manifested for launch on a suborbital space plane called SpaceShipTwo developed by the aerospace company Virgin Galactic.
In 2012, people across the globe were dazzled to learn that the Large Hadron Collider—a 17-mile ring buried underground on the border of Switzerland and France—had for the first time provided evidence of the elusive Higgs Boson.
The discovery was made after scientists accelerated two beams of protons in the underground tube to nearly the speed of light and then crashed them into each other. The violent collision produced an array of exotic subatomic particles, including the Higgs Boson, that live only briefly before decaying away.
When it comes to meteor showers, most people have probably heard of the Perseid, which lights up Earth's atmosphere every August. But come late Friday night and early Saturday morning Colorado residents may get to witness the birth of a new meteor shower when the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet named LINEAR.
On May 22, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Director Charles Elachi and his senior management team met with University of Colorado Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano and several other campus administrators to sign a memorandum of understanding to continue and broaden a rich tradition of collaboration on space and Earth-science efforts going back nearly 50 years. Located in Pasadena, Calif., JPL is a federally funded research and development facility managed by the California Institute of Technology for NASA.
Just before midnight Saturday, one day before the final presentation, the project came to a dead stop. The following Monday, the student aerospace engineering team was scheduled to perform a live test of their prototype land exploration rover to a high-profile client. But the microcontroller—the circuit board that commands the rover—was fried.
Individuals are more genetically similar to their spouses than they are to randomly selected individuals from the same population, according to a new study from the University of Colorado Boulder.
University of Colorado Boulder biologist Leslie Leinwand has been selected as a member of the 2014 class of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which honors the leading "thinkers and doers" from each generation, including scientists, scholars, writers and artists. Leinwand—chief scientific officer for CU-Boulder's BioFrontiers Institute and a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology—is an expert in cardiovascular disease.
If you think Neanderthals were stupid and primitive, it's time to think again. The widely held notion that Neanderthals were dimwitted and that their inferior intelligence allowed them to be driven to extinction by the much brighter ancestors of modern humans is not supported by scientific evidence, according to a researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder.
A simple sample of the protective mucus layer that coats a frog's skin can now be analyzed to determine how susceptible the frog is to disease, thanks to a technique developed by a researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder. The same method can be used to determine what kind of probiotic skin wash might be most effective at bolstering the frog's defenses without actually exposing the frog to disease, according to a journal article published today in the journal PLOS ONE.

Don't bother with it! Except for airport transfers, walk Dublin! I felt sorry for all of the people on buses b/c they were missing so much of the city! Take advantage of the size and really see Dublin! report a problemPosted on: October 09, 2008 at 2:09PM
I agree completely! When we visited Dublin we took the bus since our hotel was pretty far from the center of the city, but we also missed out on a fun, beautiful walk!

By Elisabeth H. from Ottawa, ON on Jul 09, 2009
This light unit worked out so perfectly for the dining room in our new house as the actual light fixture as in the wires were not centralized to where we wanted to put our dining table. This unit enabled us to put the lights across in a line right above the table so it looks centered! Perfect!

Perfect in every way
By j. from Rio Rancho, NM on Sep 10, 2008
I did a lot of searching. This was hands down the best price. The quality was better than I expected. We have had the light for a year now with no problems. I will be ordering an outdoor post light next. I will say it took a long time to receive. I hope my next order will be quicker. Thanks, A very satisfied customer.

Review of 94513 - Trenton Three-Light Directional Rail Kit
By Diane G. from New Market, MD on Nov 18, 2010
This light fixture was the perfect choice for our rec room. I wanted a light centered over my craft table and there were air ducts in the way. With this fixture, we could attach the electrical supply off to the side but still center the lights. It worked perfectly.

Forsee: Employee assurances [Audio]
What assurance do we have that the money being taken out of our salaries won't go to things like operating costs and building funds? And what assurance do we have that this new plan to have us pay 1 or 2 percent of our pay into our retirement plans doesn't put us on a slippery slope to having to pay 2 or 3 percent?
Forsee: Fairness in furloughs [Audio]
You've said that furloughs, if instituted, would be instituted fairly. But what does that mean? It seems that fairness in furloughs would be hard to determine, since a given number of furlough days would affect some people much more negatively than it would others.
Forsee: Giving surplusses back to employees [Audio]
There has been discussion about the possibility that, given the deductions from salaries, if there are surpluses in retirement funds, building funds, etc., some of that money would be given back to the employees. On the other hand, I'm hearing you say that the money would simply stay in those funds. Is the option of giving it back to employees on the table?
Forsee: Workers' compensation for furloughed employees [Audio]
Suppose a furlough is instituted and a furloughed employee gets hurt while responding to an emergency situation on campus (like an equipment malfunction only he or she can fix). Would that employee still get help, like workers' compensation, from the university?
Forsee: Administration budget reductions [Audio]
One of the comments that I've never heard is that one of the things that would make Mizzou a greater university than it is today is to have more administration. One of the comments that I've never heard is that we need more people who make over $100,000 a year who don't even teach a class. What will it take for you to make serious reductions in the budget money going to administration at this university?
Forsee: Applying cuts to Extension [Audio]
I think we're all glad over $9 million was put back into the university budget (for Extension programs). That doesn't hide the fact that we're still missing $5 million from the university budget. What is your obligation to follow the governor's and the legislature's directives on where particular cuts are taken, and if this $5 million cut is put in place, would you feel obligated to apply that only to Extension?

Your impressive collection of baubles deserves an equally elegant storage space. Problem solved, thanks to this polished collection of handcrafted jewelry boxes by Wolf Designs, an esteemed family business that was founded in 1834.

Bumgarner to lead OFBF Center for Food and Animal Issues
COLUMBUS, Ohio (OFBF) - Michael A. Bumgarner has been named vice president of Ohio Farm Bureau Federations (OFBF) new Center for Food and Animal Issues. His appointment is effective July 1, 2009.
The Center was created in May of 2009 to engage farmers, consumers and others who have connections to animals in a public dialog over the proper role of animals in society, and to advance their shared values.
This Center is crucial to the future of farmers and others who rely on animals, and Mike is just the person to spearhead our new initiatives, said OFBF Executive Vice President Jack Fisher. Mike will bring strategic thinking and practical ideas that will make this Center valuable to everyone it serves.
Bumgarner joins Ohio Farm Bureau after a long career with United Producers, Inc. (UPI). He has been UPIs vice president of marketing and member services since February 2005 and held several other management positions with the company since 1990. Prior to UPI, Bumgarner was a manager and broker with Refco, Inc. and Heinold commodities Inc. He has served in leadership roles with the National Institute of Animal agriculture, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, Livestock Marketing Association, Ohio Livestock Coalition and Ohio Farm Animal Care Commission and the Five State Beef Initiative. He was a board member for Mechanicsburg Exempted Schools and has been an adviser and volunteer with Ohios 4-H program. He received a masters degree in agriculture from the University of Connecticut and a bachelors degree in agriculture from The Ohio State University.
Bumgarner and his wife, Leslie, live on a family farm and are the parents of two grown children.
As vice president of the Center for Food and Animal Issues, Bumgarner will be responsible for its policy, communications and outreach efforts. He also will oversee a subsidiary of the Center, the Animals for Life Foundation, which will focus on fund raising efforts to support the Centers mission.

@stoneMason-- Yes, egg white mask is good for pores. It can reduce their size and appearance.
If you don't want to use real eggs and make the mask at home, there is a facial mask product made with egg whites that I know of. It belongs to an Asian skincare line. I've not used the mask, but I've used the face wash. It made my skin feel so soft and my pores did look better after using it.
If you want to save money and if you don't mind dealing with raw eggs, it's better to make the mask fresh at home. Adding some raw honey or lemon juice will improve the scent. Adding honey will also make it easier to apply. Honey has anti-inflammatory properties. It's also hydrating and soothing so it's a great ingredient to add to this mask.

The Gold Nugget Triathlon came equipped with space heaters, chemical hand warmers and fleece Sunday morning, and even those weren't enough to ward off goose bumps and chattering teeth.
In a race that will forever be remembered as the Cold Nugget Triathlon, Amber Stull defended her title to lead a field of about 1,500 girls and women who ignored harsh conditions -- temperatures in the 30s, ice on parts of the course -- to participate in Alaska's biggest triathlon.
"Look! My water's frozen!" second-place finisher Erin Beam said as she tried to drink from a water bottle at the finish line. "I feel so numb."
After swimming 500 yards in the steamy Bartlett High pool, triathletes headed outside to bike 12 miles and run 4.1 miles. The transition from the bike to the run, during which many changed shoes, proved particularly challenging.
"I couldn't feel to get my foot in my shoe," said Beam, 42.
The sun shone brightly -- a blessing after a Friday snowstorm that had some wondering if Sunday's race would even happen. But the mercury didn't respond until late in the morning, when temperatures crept into the 40s.
"The cold was brutal," said Stull, 35, who put on a puffy winter coat after she finished. "I couldn't feel anything from my hips down."
Stull triumphed in 1 hour, 12 minutes, 17.6 seconds, finishing more than two minutes ahead of Beam (1:14:21.2). Danelle Winn (1:14:46.7) placed third for the second straight year.
Stull trailed eight-time Gold Nugget champion Shannon Donley by more than a minute midway through the bike race when a flat tire ended Donley's race.
Donley's flat happened near Arctic Valley on a rocky stretch of pavement that has gotten rockier as winter yields to spring. She had just passed the turnaround point of the bike course when her tire blew.
"It's really bumpy," Donley said. "There's a lot of rocks and potholes, and there's only so much you can ride around."
Bill Fleming, a race volunteer driving ahead of the leaders, said Donley's lead was 75 seconds and growing when she went out of the race. He loaded Donley's bike into his SUV, and Stull recognized the bike as she cycled past.
"It distracted me," she said. "I was a little worried about her. I didn't know if she went down, if she was hypothermic, or if at the very least she had a mechanical (problem)."
At the time, Stull said, a couple of other racers were right with her. She cemented her victory during the run, meeting her goal of averaging 6:40 miles.
Beam was a happy runner-up, especially given the circumstances of her race.
"I took a spill at the (bike) turnaround," she said. "Then my chain came off and I thought, well, this is the year I'm not finishing."
But she persevered, as did so many others.
"Everyone earned some bragging rights today," said Jill McLeod, a member of the ConocoPhillips team. "What an amazing group of women we are to race in freezing temperatures. There are a whole lot of tough mamas in this state."
Morgan Lash, a 15-year-old freshman from Grace Christian, made it through the cold because she was used to it. On Saturday, Lash and the Grizzlies clinched a berth in the state high school soccer tournament by placing third in the region tournament in Soldotna, where they played in rain, wind and hail.
Annette Cartier, a racer in the 50-55 age group, made it through by covering her head and neck while leaving most of the rest of her flesh unprotected. Determined to save time by minimizing her transition times, Cartier wore her swimsuit and swim cap the entire race, adding only a wool gaiter once she got out of the pool. No tights, no sleeves, just a swimsuit, swim cap and gaiter.
For the mother-daughter team of Hollie and Lauren Beeby, the cold was just one of many things to deal with. The two were among more than 500 first-time triathletes in the race, so their whole day was an adventure.
Wearing matching fleece skirts, matching pink nail polish and identical hairdos featuring numerous braids and strings, they raced to Bartlett from Tikahtnu Commons, worried that they were late, only to learn they had time to spare.
Hollie, 33, said she tried unsuccessfully to get into the Gold Nugget for three straight years -- the race is so popular that the limit of 1,500 racers is reached the same day entries open, meaning many are turned away.
But Lauren, 11, got in this year through the race's lottery system. And because Lauren is a minor, Hollie was allowed into the race too.
"The two of us would go to the gym every night," Hollie said. "I lost 18 pounds in two months and this one," she said with a nod to Lauren, "toned all up."
The Beebys made a "vision board" and filled it with inspiring quotes and photos. Then they got matching T-shirts and put some of the quotes on them. Lauren, a fifth grader at Polaris K-12, pointed out one of her favorites: "Forget the glass slippers. This princess wears running shoes."
"Young girls need to be taught it's OK to explore how far your body can go," Hollie said. "I've learned so much about my daughter. She's much stronger than I ever thought.
"We're both stronger than we thought."
That's practically the mantra of the Gold Nugget Triathlon, a 30-year-old race beloved by veterans and newcomers for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and its just-do-it attitude. Sunday's race drew triathletes as old as 80 and as young as 9.
"I feel great pride to be a part of this," Hollie Beeby said. "No one's a snob here. On Facebook they all answer your questions, and none of them seem put off by our amateur ways.

Hughes hopeful over SWP
12 May 2009 - 15:56:08
Mark Hughes has revealed that a setback in his recovery from an ankle injury forced Shaun Wright-Phillips out of Manchester City's derby defeat on Sunday.
The England winger was expected to return from a five-match absence against Manchester United.
Wright-Phillips missed the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford after suffering a setback, but Hughes hopes the flare up won't keep him out of the weekend trip to Tottenham.
"He had a setback last week," Hughes told the club's official website.
"He had a bang on his knee which really stopped him in his tracks when that happened.
"He was not anywhere near being fit for Sunday unfortunately, but we hope that the knee will settle down and that he will be an option for us for next week."
Speaking about the derby defeat, Hughes added: "The problem was that we were made to play in front of their back four, rather than around it.
"Without that kind of energy to break their lines, drive past players in wide areas and get crosses in."

I think all state taxes go into the General Fund, and from there it gets complicated, depending on the size of your district, as to how much money you're alloted for schools. Also, Ohio passed a bill where all lottery proceeds are to go to the schools also.Originally Posted by TeamCasey
We live in a good school district (Ben Logan). It's a country school. They just built it back in '95. Then for the last 6 years they've been trying to push these 7-8 Mil levies down our throats. And the people have gotten fed up, due to alot of school districts fiscal irresponsibilty, and refuse to pass them. Finally last year, they passed a bare minimum emergency levy.
My property taxes are very reasonable. But in some section of this school district people are paying 4 times what I pay (alot of Drs, lawyers, and professionals live in those areas). They seem to think that everyone can afford it just because they can (and alot of them are on the local school board too)... and they are wrong.

Room 112 was small but well soundproofed, we never heard the Wedding Party Disco. The grounds were well maintained and attractive, particularly the trees and squirrels. Bed was extremely comfortable,

Nothing - it was terrible.
Renovations everywhere - driveway and car park a quagmire of mud. Rooms tacky and in need of total refit. No bath. Paintwork peeling, carpets scruffy, blinds broken, workmen everywhere and the ambiance dreadful. Breakfast room like a military base with zero comfort and food that ran out (no eggs and no bacon). Absolutely sky high price with zero comforts. Terrible place to stay so BE WARNED.
Room was fairly decent Self serve breakfast was good.
The bathroom was a little cramped, but worked. Wifi didn't work our end of the hotel.
The staff were very hospitable
The heating in the room was not very good, making the room feel very cold so much so that sitting on the bed to watch the tv I had to have a blanket wrapped around me to keep warm.
Everything. Rude staff. In-edible food. Dirty bedding. Dirty bathroom.
the young girl who was on duty in the afternoon and also in the restaurant at night was excellent,great customer service.location fantastic,very comfortable /relaxed feeling in the hotel.
did not like having wash hand basin in the bedroom instead of ensuite,too warm in bedroom at night for me.
Nice grounds.
Given small room, tired decorations, not particularly clean. Saturday night, wedding, band was in central lobby some 4M away from bedroom door. Unbearable. After a "discussion", we were moved to an Exec room in separate conference building, better. But the hallway smelt damp & musty (see a previous review) Worst "English breakfast" we have ever been offered. No white toast, rolls, croissants. No fried or boiled eggs, remains of luke warm tinned tomatoes. Everything constantly running out, people waiting for bacon or whatever.
I liked where the hotel is because of the grounds, it is in a lovely surrounds, very nice.
As I was on my own and coming in late at night, being in the Annexe, there are no lights in the grounds and it is very dark and quite scary, hairy. Also when ordering room service on the Saturday evening, I spent over an hour or so, trying to order a sandwich and drink, The phone just kept ringing and no one answered it. So in the end I had to go down to reception, there was no one there and I had to walk around to try and find someone. Eventually I found a member of staff who took my order and said it would only take 10 - 15 minutes, instead of that, I had to wait nearly an for the sandwich and drink. I do understand that there was a wedding reception on there but I think it was absolutely disgusting having to wait all this time and going down in the dark to order it. I do expect and think someone should have been in the reception at all times, in case of this and any real emergencies. It has put me off of returning to this Hotel because of this and also feeling vulnerable due to no lighting. I have stayed in loads of Hotels and this is the first one that I have had this problem. It needs to be looked at and rectified for future. Also during the night it was very noisy, people banging doors through the night, people upstairs stamping on the floor etc. I am not the only one who complained about this, a lot of other people complained too.
Room 112 was small but well soundproofed, we never heard the Wedding Party Disco. The grounds were well maintained and attractive, particularly the trees and squirrels. Bed was extremely comfortable,
Bathroom was very tired, Nowhere to put Soapbags etc. Difficult to get to/from even with SattNav (GPS)
Staff changed my room when I had problems with it.
Single room was tiny, with a sink in the bedroom and a very small bathroom that could only be entered by moving the bedside table. The carpet was old and stained. The shower did not work correctly and ran hot and cold at random, so I burnt my foot while showering. The TV switched itself on twice in the middle of the night so I had to locate the plug and unplug it. The rooms are poorly sound proofed and the noise from adjoining rooms and the room above was such that sleep was in short supply after 5am. When I complained about the shower and TV, I was promptly offered another room, which was welcome. This one was a double, so larger. However, the carpet again had large stains on it and half the bathroom ceiling appeared to have come down at some stage and was left unrepaired and undecorated. Given the price of rooms at this hotel, I think this is unacceptable. A Premier Inn is being built on the outskirts of the town - I am sure when it is open it will offer a standard of accommodation far superior to Scalford Hall.
location grounds staff
water supply problems, given bottled water and told to boil water. Room clean but big black stain on carpet. Split bath panel.Whiff of drains in bathroom. Decor of parts e.g. stairs looked like 1960's boarding school. Breakfast - fruit etc. fine but cooked only offered : beans, tinned tomatoes, inedible warm scrambled egg - looked like dried egg powder covered with pepper. There may have been bacon etc. but I am veg. This was at 8am. Would have expected pot of tea not DIY teabags. Dogs barking at night. Heavy doors slamming early morning. Noisy delivery vans early morning. Unaware this was a management training hotel - does this explain? I paid over £100 for B&B. Poor value, stayed at 3* hotel in Cornwall recently - it was luxury by comparison!
Your food has ben excellent on my visits.
As I stay to attend a sale at the Auction in Melton I need to leave fairly early to attend to live stock. I believe you should be aware of your clients reason and of local events which could effect them. I of course had to leave on each occasion without breakfast.
Location peace quite very relaxing time away . Food was fantastic staff we're all friendly and helpful .
Room 224 should be a store room, the toliet is in one corner of the room and the Shower has been added into a small alcove on the other side of the room, I was luck where I got to change rooms, however room 227 is very dated, bathroom had lino peeling up, plus the room was on the hotel front very noisy at night when other guests come back to the hotel.
Room a bit tired...stained carpet /bathroom shower very slow, needed updating. Breakfast ran out of cooked items no one keeping an eye on empty dishes
Situation. Staff pleasant. Fairly goon breakfast
Decor very tired and dingy. Lighting did not help. Lent the place a rather gloomy atmosphere.
The setting was beautiful. Staff very helpful. Our friends room had a bad smell in the bathroom so they requested to be moved and everything was fine in their new room. Food was excellent and waitress very attentive. Would definitely stay there again.
The shower dripped so had to make sure bathroom door was shut as it kept us awake. The under sink cupboard door fell off and was only propted up to keep it closed. Our friends room had a rather stained carpet.
A smaller room at the front of the hotel occupied by a member of our party!
Staff were helpful, gardens were nice
Absolutely the worst restaurant food I've ever been presented with. Walked out after seeing the main course. Atrocious.
Staff were very friendly
Hotel furnishings are tired. Menu very limited.
Free and reliable Internet. One very efficient (Portuguese) waitress. A couple of other pleasant waitresses who compared favourably with the rather cool manner of those in the office.
Compared to comparable properties, it is way behind the times. The decor, the food, the service... You cannot pretend to be a hotel of this quality and employ untrained and awkward teenagers as waiters. You cannot have a boiler of hot water and a tray of Nescafe sachets at breakfast instead of real coffee. The waitress forgot the tartare sauce to have with my fish and chips. When it came it was obviously straight out of a jar - and a cheap one at that. When I phoned from within a few miles to ask for directions, the reception didn't know what to tell me. "Well, is the hotel north or south of Melton Mowbray?" She wasn't sure... It seems to be a property with no real vision of what it is or wants to be. It is screaming out for someone to take over who knows what they are doing. There are much better places within ten or twenty miles.
The location was first class
We were stuck up on the top floor, and the hotel had no lift and being eighty one years of age that situation was not funny
Good setting
Small room en-suite unpleasant musty smell extractor fan not working only one out of 4 down lighters working Breakfast quality and service poor
Not much
Not being able to sleep due to a rattling noise caused by the ventilation system in the roof. Also when you turn up at a county hotel you don't expect to see 20 AA vans parked outside! To cap it all I put my travel bag on top of the wardrobe and when it came down it was covered in dust! I will not be returning...
i like the place, but it needs work. The food has improved a lot, but the menu is still quite old fashioned. Breakfast Buffet is SUPERB!
Slightly odd smell to the place.

10 Cat Breeds Who Like to Play With Dogs
We've all heard the saying, "They fight like cats and dogs," but the truth is that cats and dogs are not mortal enemies. Often, cats and dogs get along just like any other members of a family. Sometimes they fuss, sometimes they fight, but many times, you'll find them collaborating to steal food, grooming each other, and curling up together at bedtime.
If you want to improve your odds of having peace in your multipet kingdom, consider getting a feline breed that is more likely to be temperamentally suited for sharing households with dogs — and bossing canines around a bit. Of course, it's important to note that, while these friendly felines are known for exhibiting a certain amount of canine compatibility, every cat — and dog — is different, and there's no guarantee that any cat, regardless of breed, will become best buddies with a dog.

I totally agree with Buzz on that....having good coaches around him will be beneficial as well...MT is very much if not completely responsible for ruining the confidence of our Norris winner. Having Babcock and all the better coaches around him will only do him lots of good and passing the puck to a guy like Crosby and Toews is not same as passing it to guys like Pacioretty (who is a pure goal scorer but he is a floater on many nights) who couldnt pass the puck if his life depended on it and all the 2nd or 3rd line forwards we have on this team - Comment on Liveblog: Game 57 – Canadiens douse Flames 2-0 (2014-02-04 22:44:25)
Couldn't be cuz Plakenec line was on for a long time before finally drawing that penalty so rewarding that Eller line would have been good for their confidence. But we all know that MT has a h@#d on for DD .... - Comment on Liveblog: Game 57 – Canadiens douse Flames 2-0 (2014-02-04 22:31:18)

I agree with you mostly but I do see him to be faster than Moen and bigger then Prust. Both of those players have been around for a while so let's wait and see :-) - Comment on AUDIO: Habs trade Diaz to Canucks for Weise (2014-02-03 16:24:00)
Yeah we might have gotten one more body for him if he hadnt been a healthy scratch for most of 2014. - Comment on AUDIO: Habs trade Diaz to Canucks for Weise (2014-02-03 15:58:28)
Would you prefer a 5th 6th round pick who might or might not have made it to NHL or a 25 years old with good size and speed who offers us much needed size grit and speed on 3rd or 4th line right now and if he does well for few years to come... - Comment on AUDIO: Habs trade Diaz to Canucks for Weise (2014-02-03 15:27:37)
Good trade for the Habs. People expect miracles without assessing the real value of the player. Diaz was NOT good enough to crack our lineup and that Beaulieu kid has been good for us. Someone pointed out that sometimes when we look at a player's progress in AHL, it might not be the real picture as it depends on the players surrounding you. Let's be honest with exception of one or two of our prospects (and they are mostly on smaller side) who have an outside chance of ever making it to big club, our AHL team actually sucks with no talent up front. I would love to see this Weise kid play with Eller and Bourque (as long as he is here) as he is a natural right hand shot and only right hand shot with some size. We have not seen enough of the Canucks to know how he was used in their lineup but looking at his stats, he has produced at different levels so one has to be positive. And this trade also gives us a look into how our pro scouring department is doing. With exception of Ryder for Cole, this is the second trade done by this management involving players part of their team's current rosters. Next few days are crucial and big decisions need to be made by MB. And I believe this trade also shows that Blunden has most likely played his last game for the Habs. With Briere producing in last couple of games, I think he might be the next one to go (hoping for the best) - Comment on AUDIO: Habs trade Diaz to Canucks for Weise (2014-02-03 15:24:01)

well Montreal needs to work on the powerplay and start this before Markov comes back so it doesnt put too much pressure on him.

Yeah you are so right about that. I had a chance to follow the training camp and he looked good to me during the rookie camp so I am sure with some experience of NA hockey in smaller rinks, he will be an awesome player to watch. Patience is the key :-)
