CEO Pledge℠
The CEO Pledge℠
A Video Message to CEOs
In this video, Dr. Jack Groppel, National Spokesperson for the CEO Pledge for Physical Activity, speaks directly to our nation's leaders about the importance of signing the Pledge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXKitOpvP8
The CEO Pledge℠:
For the betterment of my company, our employees, their families, and our country, I pledge to improve employee health and wellness by providing opportunities and resources for physical activity before, during or after the workday, and
to enhance my own health and wellness by engaging in regular physical activity.
What is the CEO Pledge℠?
The CEO Pledge is a national campaign promoted by the National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity (NCPPA) to encourage every CEO in the United States to recognize physical activity as an important driver of employee health and business performance.
Why is the CEO Pledge℠ Important?
The CEO Pledge is an evidence-based strategy for promoting a culture of physical activity within an organization. Studies of employee wellness programs consistently find that executive leadership is critical to employee engagement. If employees believe that creating a culture of physical activity is an executive priority, employees are more likely to be physically active.
Why You Should Sign the CEO Pledge℠
- Your Employees Will Be Healthier
- Your Employees Will Be Happier and More Engaged
- Your Organization Will Increase Productivity
- Your Organization Will Be Better Positioned to Recruit and Retain Top Talent
- Your Organization Will Be Publicly Recognized As A Forward-Thinking Employer and Thought Leader
Workplace Wellness Strategies
Strategies –
CEOs who sign The CEO Pledge™ agree to implement at least six of the following strategies to create a culture of physical activity in their workplace(s). A mix of strategies from each category – behavioral, educational, and environmental/policy - is encouraged.
Behavioral Support
- Support "healthy meetings" such as stand-up or walking meetings, and/or meetings that incorporate stretching or other physical activity
- Offer a physical activity program that includes motivational elements to inspire employees, such as employee competitions, team challenges and recognition/rewards
- Establish a non-competitive physical activity program, such as a "buddy program" or exercise groups
- Sponsor employee teams in organized fun runs/walks
- Integrate other innovative and effective ideas to increase physical activity
Educational Support
- Provide education and information to employees about the benefits of an active lifestyle
- Invite experts to conduct regular information sessions in the workplace on physical activity-related topics
- Promote the health and productivity benefits of avoiding long periods of sedentary behavior (e.g. sitting at a desk for an extended period of time)
Environmental/Policy Support
- Organize onsite fitness classes
- Reimburse employees for purchases of fitness equipment or physical activity-related programs
- Offer incentives for physical activity such as gift certificates for equipment and include such incentives in the employee benefit plan when appropriate
- Provide free or subsidized public transportation passes to encourage walking as part of a daily commute
- Give free or reduced rate memberships for bike share programs to encourage bikes as a form of transportation
- Increase the time allowed for lunch breaks or provide flexible scheduling to allow employees to be active during the workday
- Provide safe and clean facilities, such as showers, changing areas, and bike racks that support physical activity before, during, or after the workday
- Provide clean, safe, and attractive stairwells and encourage their use
- Create a map of indoor and/or outdoor walking paths that are safe, convenient, and easy to follow near the workplace
- Offer employees opportunities to wear casual, work-out-friendly attire to work
- Create an onsite fitness area or reimburse/subsidize the cost of an offsite fitness center membership
- Encourage employees to take brief activity breaks throughout the workday
- Provide employees with the option to use "active office" furniture such as stand-up or treadmill desks, and/or stability balls

"To promote health in the workplace, there must be consistent and visible support from leaders, beginning with the CEO," points out Laurie Whitsel, the director of policy research at the American Heart Association (AHA), and president-emeritus of the NCPPA board of directors.
"Leadership is critical," agrees Scott Goudeseune, the CEO of the American Council of Exercise (ACE), and president of the NCPPA's board. "There must be clear, strong, and ongoing support, beginning with the CEO, for workplace health and wellness programs to take root."
"This pledge may be just the catalyst required to make those work environments that encourage employees to become more active the new cultural norm," says Helen Durkin, J.D., IHRSA's executive vice president of global public policy.

Shale exploration booms, and so does construction
Blog Entry:
March 13, 2013 9:52 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The New York Times
visits Louisville, Ohio, in Stark County, for a
that looks at how the natural gas industry is driving a construction surge in Ohio.
"To prepare, market and transport natural gas, companies are building an expansive network of regional field offices, processing plants and other infrastructure,"
The Times
tells its national and international audience.
It notes, for instance, that Oklahoma City-based
Chesapeake Energy Corp.
, the largest developer of the Utica shale, "is building a field office on a 291-acre site (in Louisville) that it bought here last year for $7.11 million. The project's centerpiece is a five-story, 85,000-square-foot office tower that is scheduled to be completed early next year. The company is also building a 55,000-square-foot receiving and maintenance building and a 6,000-square-foot repair shop."
Thomas Ault, Louisville's city manager, estimates for the newspaper that the first three buildings under construction would cost $22 million to $24 million. Chesapeake employs 550 people in eastern Ohio, according to company records.
The story indicates Ohio "remains a comparatively small producer — 4.8 million barrels of oil and 78 billion cubic feet of gas in 2011 — ranking it 18th in oil and 20th in natural gas production among the states, according to federal figures."
Two years ago, though, the first wells penetrated the Utica Shale. Since then, according to the latest weekly tally by Ohio's Natural Resources Department, "255 of the 548 Utica wells that received permits have been drilled and completed, and 74 are producing natural gas,"
The Times
With all this energy-related construction, "industry executives believe that Ohio will produce 2 billion to 3 billion cubic feet of processed gas daily within the decade," the story concludes.
This and that
How much is too much?:
Steven Nissen
, head of cardiology at the
Cleveland Clinic
, is quoted in
this Reuters story
about the potentially dangerous proliferation of prescription drug use by Americans with heart disease.
Simply put, "Some cardiologists think prescribing has gotten out of hand," Reuters says.
"The criticism was voiced by a number of leading heart doctors who attended the annual scientific sessions of the
American College of Cardiology
, held on March 9-11 in San Francisco," according to the story. "They said eliminating certain drugs could potentially improve care without compromising treatment. Evidence is growing that some medications are not effective."
Patients who need multiple daily doses of a given drug often fail to take them, says Dr. Nissen, a past president of the American College of Cardiology.
"There is also the question about whether the benefits are additive," he tells Reuters.
Cuts both ways:
Boy Scouts of America
sent surveys to 1.1 million scouts and their families about seeking their opinions about the group's ban on gay members and leaders, according to
New York Times
that includes some data from Cleveland.
"The survey offers possible outcomes should the Boy Scouts decide to keep or change its policy," the newspaper says. "Some address the widespread fear that the scouting movement could fracture or face an exodus no matter what it does."
The Times
says that even before the Boy Scouts' big national meeting in May, "some donors are already voting about the membership issue — with their wallets."
For instance, the paper notes that the
United Way of Greater Cleveland
last fall announced it would
no longer make grants
to the Scoutreach program — which works with urban and rural boys — because the ban on gays was in conflict with the organization's diversity and inclusion policy.
"Since then, about $200,000 in donations to the Cleveland United Way has evaporated, a spokeswoman said," according to
The Times
. "But in a reflection of divided local opinion, a $20,000 increase in donor-directed contributions to the Boy Scouts arrived as well — an 11 percent increase from the previous year."
Music to his ears:
From across the ocean,
The Economist
is charmed
by the way
Ensemble HD
, a group of musicians from the
Cleveland Orchestra
, is packing the
Happy Dog
bar on the city's West Side at monthly live shows.
"The idea for the sextet — piano, flute, oboe, violin, viola and cello — to perform at the bar came from a meeting of minds. Joshua Smith, principal flautist at the orchestra and lead member of Ensemble HD, had long been interested in reaching out to people who don't go to classical-music concerts; and Sean Watterson, owner of Happy Dog, is similarly interested in mixing high- and low-brow culture," the magazine notes.
After leaving his finance job in New York following the financial meltdown in 2008, Mr. Watterson "moved back to Cleveland and transformed this rust-belt bar into a hub of cultural programming,"
The Economist
says. "In addition to Ensemble HD, the Happy Dog hosts monthly science lectures, regular talks from curators at the Cleveland Museum of Art and polka bands during happy hour."
The efforts are bring new and diverse crowds to the Happy Dog.
"It's great to look over at the bar and see people in mink coats next to twentysomethings covered in tattoos and piercings," Mr Watterson says.

|Jeremy Guthrie may have made his final start in a Rockies uniform.
If Jeremy Guthrie was out to make a statement that he can pitch as long as he isn't at Coors Field, he didn't do anything to drive his point home. Manager Jim Tracy made an easy choice not to return Guthrie to the mound after a rain delay following the 3rd inning.
Guthrie was unimpressive. He threw 78 pitches in those three innings, giving up four runs. It was yet another day in a Rockies uniform the righty would like to forget. In fact, it might have been Guthrie's final start in purple.
Rumors circulated late on Sunday that the Blue Jays have interest in Guthrie. At the beginning of the season, Guthrie was a guy who fans bantered about being potential trade bait if the Rockies fell out of contention. The thought was that he could garner a few prospects and help the club bolster their depleted farm system. At this point, the club would be lucky to get some salary relief in exchange for the struggling starter.
There is no other way around it. Everything that could have gone wrong for the Rockies has gone wrong. Drew Pomeranz is nowhere near returning to the big leagues. Jhoulys Chacin was a lost cause, hiding an injury from the club just long enough to hurt the team in the early going.
Injuries and a lack of performance are simply an excuse for under performance. Admittedly, the Rockies farm system is thin. When injury or under performance strike, there is little that the team can do at this point to mitigate the issue. The real talent in the farm system is still a year or so out. That means struggles at the Major League level are left to bleed with no band-aid in sight.
For Rockies fans, it is just that kind of year. It was a year that many predicted, yet the hopeful few believed that the team had a chance to actually win based on their young talent in the starting rotation, and an offense that had the potential to crush the ball around the park at any given time and at any spot in the lineup.
The bad part for fans is that it might get worse before it gets better. There is no sign of relief on the horizon. There is nothing that would suggest that things are going to change. The young starters are forced to learn at the big league level. The Rockies continue to allow them to use Coors Field as an excuse, while refusing to change anyone in any position that might rock the boat of a team destined to lose more than 90 baseball games.
That makes things frustrating. That makes for a team that is very difficult to watch. It makes the end of September feel like a very long way off. Unfortunately, the merciful end to a bad season is about all Rockies fans have to look forward to.

Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing thro'
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.
-- Christina Rossetti
Discussion of harnessing the power of the wind is in the air in Tazewell County. The Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on a ridgeline protection ordinance designed to regulate use of ridgetops for wind turbines, Tuesday, February 3. Citizens are encouraged to educate themselves and then express their views about the drafted ordinance. To enable citizens to develop informed opinions, Tazewell County Public Library recommends several resources about wind energy.
For a quick overview of the subject, view the article "Wind Power" at www.wikipedia.org.
The US Department of Energy provides a wealth of information in a user friendly website at www.eere.energy.gov. Look under Wind & Hydropower Technologies. This site offers many maps, charts and tables, as well as numerous useful links.
Paul Gipe is a recognized expert on wind energy. His two books, Wind Power, and Wind Energy Basics, provide clear, detailed information about the feasibility of harnessing the power of the wind.
The chapter "Wind Power" in Healing Appalachia: Sustainable Living Through Appropriate Technology by Al Fritsch and Paul Gallimore discusses the specific application of wind projects in the mountain region.
Michael Brune's book Coming Clean: Breaking America's Addiction to Oil and Coal should be of interest to this coal-bearing region. It includes a chapter, "Greening the Grid: How Sun and Wind Can Generate Power and Prosperity".
Wind power is the fastest growing form of energy. Its advantages as identified in these publications include low environmental impact through use of renewable energy (no fossil fuels leading to air pollution or chemical emissions that result in acid rain or greenhouse gases), domestic and abundant sources, and low cost. In a document published June 30, 2008, the Department of Energy forecasts "economic benefits from 1000 MW of development in Virginia to be $1.2 billion, annual CO2 reductions are estimated at 3.0 million tons, and annual water savings are 1,600 million gallons".
Concerns about development of wind power include initial development cost, site access, intermittent wind, environmental impact (including bird and bat deaths, noise, and aesthetics), and objections from the coal industry. Several articles indicate that most of these concerns can be alleviated with careful planning and proper siting of towers.
Additional Information
The library has prepared a packet of journal articles addressing energy policy with regard to wind and other renewable forms of energy, the state of the wind industry for capacity and potential, environmental impact, economic impact, technology, and examples of specific applications of wind energy. Copies of the information packet are available at all three TCPL locations, in Bluefield, Richlands, and Tazewell.
Additional information of interest may be T. Boone Pickens' memoir, The First Billion is the Hardest, as well as his website, www.pickensplan.org, which was heavily advertised in recent months.
For views of the long term, see The Way We Will Be 50 Years from Now (named one of the Best Books of 2008 by Booklist) and Ira Flatow's Present at the Future.
Thomas Jefferson said that "Information is the currency of democracy." The library is a source of reliable information for insuring careful development of views on this and other issues. For more information, call us at 988.2541.

Herb Roasted Onions
These herb roasted onions by Ina Garten recently made their way around the food blogging sphere and I immediately bookmarked them to try later. While I was looking for side dishes for my steak tenderloin in a mushroom and blue cheese sauce I came across the bookmark and decided that it was time to try them. I really enjoy roasting vegetables of all sorts and I was looking forward to roasting onions with a tasty vinniagrette. This recipe is pretty straight forward, no muss and no fuss. Roasting the onions brought out their natural sweetness and the tangy vinniagrette both highlighted it and contrasted it very nicely. I am pleased to have found another really tasty way to enjoy onions!
Herb Roasted Onions(makes 4 side dish sized servings)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic (chopped)
3/4 teaspoon thyme (chopped)
salt and pepper to taste
1 red onion (cut into large wedges)
1 yellow onion (cut into large wedges)
1 teaspoon parsley (chopped)
1. Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Toss the onions in the dressing.
3. Remove the onions from the dressing and roast in a preheated 400F oven until tender and slightly browned, about 30-40 minutes.
4. Serve drizzling the leftover dressing and the parsley.

The Curious Case of Matt Stajan
Justin Azevedo
August 23 2013 09:21AM
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
I've said for a couple of seasons now that I think Matt Stajan is still a quality player. Even when he was in the midst of his .3 PPG season in 2011-2012, some were still defending him even though scores of Flames fans clamored for a buyout. With him entering perhaps his final season in Calgary, it's time to examine exactly what went wrong.
Let's take a look at the numbers and do some analysis.
|Adjusted Corsi
|ZS/ZF Delta
|Penalty Delta
|2.09 (1st)
|1.30 (3rd)
|1.80 (2nd)
|1.93 (2nd)
Okay, so that's plenty of data to take in all at once, so let me simplify it a little bit: Stajan has performed like a top-6 forward should in generally every respect for three of the four years he's been in Flames Silks. He's consistently pushed play forward and mostly scored at a top-6 rate at even strength (roughly 1.80 ESP/60 is the rule of thumb).
Stajan came to the Flames in the much-publicized Dion Phaneuf trade. Stajan spent most of his time in Calgary with Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay, Jay Bouwmeester and Ian White. In his role, he played against first and second liners in a quasi-PvP situation. Stajan had a low PDO, meaning his luck was a hinderance to his play. He also had a significant amount of power-play time, but that was balanced out by his increase in PK time.
Tanguay, Iginla, and Bouwmeester were again his most consistent line mates. Mark Giordano also joined the fray. He played against 3rd liners and suffered a significant drop in his PP and ES TOI for no real reason as he was scoring at about the same rate as the year before. Stajan had an average PDO on the season. His adjusted Corsi was again above even.
Stajan had a rough year by the boxcars in 2012, but much of that can be attributed to his change in situation. His PK ice time per game increased while his even strength and PP time shrunk again, likely due to assumed shortfalls in his game and unrealistic expectations not being met. While Stajan's point production decreased, he was still scoring at a 3rd line rate while playing with Tom Kostopoulos and Tim Jackman, two noted offensive juggernauts. In fact, Stajan essentially doubled the line's production per 60 minutes while playing with teammates in the 10th percentile of awfulness league-wide.
While I will admit that his overall point production in 2012 was not enough to justify the dollars on his contract for that year, it was a result of several things coming together to bury Stajan and it was through no fault of his own. Besides TJ Brodie and Cory Sarich, his Corsi% increased more than his line mates did when he was apart from 7 of the 9 players he spent more than 100 minutes worth of ice time with. Even though the points weren't there, everything else was.
Situation changes forced Bob Hartley's hand and by the trade deadline Stajan had gone from the 3rd or 2nd line centre in the first 20 games to the first line centre for the last 20 or so games. Part of this was due to injury, part due to trades and part due to random factors. Regardless, Stajan excelled in the role he, scoring at a first-line rate with positive underlying numbers - although he did have an inflated PDO (102.6). The highest on the team, in fact. It's no coincidence the perception of the player improved with a spike in percentages. The scoring rate is likely a little higher than Stajan's true talent level due to that PDO.
So What Happened?
Stajan was a victim of circumstance. Not only was he traded for Dion Phaneuf in an ill-fated blockbuster deal, he was immediately re-upped to (what was considered at the time) a questionable long-term, big money deal.
In 2009-10, the Flames club and their beleaugered manager were underachieving relative to high expectations, so with Stajan being the "centerpiece" of the deal he was expected to help the club make an immediate turn-around, which is why he was plunked on Jarome Iginla's line. Unfortunately, Stajan wasn't good enought to turn Jarome around possession-wise and the aforementioned poor percentages run coupled with the fresh contract and the pain of missing the playoffs soured the fan base. See: wrong foot, got off on.
Brent Sutter wasn't too far behind in that regard. He played Stajan in a top-6 role again the next season, but only as long as Darryl was in power. Once his older bro was deposed, Brent gleefully demoted Staajan down the depth chart and cut his PP ice time. We can't be sure if Brent never really like Stajan or if being forced to deploy him in a certain role by the elder Sutter turned him off the player for good, but either way Brent didn't have much time for poor ol' Matty Franchise. The continuing deflation of the club's fortunes and the ever growing realization that the Dion Phaneuf trade was a terrible one continued to sink his stock in the eyes of the fan base.
Sutter buried Stajan in the bottom-6 for good in his last season as the Flames coach. The former Leaf's offense oriented ice time went south and so did his scoring. As a result, he entered the lock-out off-season as one of the most reviled players on the club, a symbol of the failed Phaneuf trade and Darryl Sutter's descent into utter madness.
To be fair to Brent and the fan base in general, Stajan isn't all that a compelling player. He puts up decent possession and scoring rates in most circumstances, but he's not outstanding in any particular way. He doesn't drive possession like Backlund, increase shooting percentage like Tanguay or snipe like Cammalleri. When he was moved down the depth chart, he didn't crush third and fourth liners from a possession perspective as one might expect from a top-six player. Stajan also isn't overly physical, can play a hesistant game when he's "off" and doesn't take a lot of shots on net (and, as a result, doesn't score a lot of goals). In context of the awful Phaneuf deal and the team's slide down the Western Conference standings, he became a particularly difficult player to like.
Stripped of the burden of expectations and guilt by association, Stajan's a perfectly acceptable middle rotation centerman. He drives play forward nominally well, is a decent passer with good hands, vision and acceptable scoring rates. He's not a guy who is going to turn around a failing club or prop up a scoring unit all by himself.
Two More Points
Matt Stajan's cap hit comparables actually don't look too unreasonable. There's a nice mixture of skill there, and I'd say Stajan is smack dab right in the middle in terms of player quality: 10 guys are not as good as Stajan and 10 guys are as good or better. When you look at the second-line centres in the league, there's only two (non-ELC) deals that have a cap hit more than $250,000 less than Stajan (Shawn Matthias, FLA; Kyle Brodziak, MIN).
Stajan's first assist percentage has also been consistently high, which confirms he's a quality puck distributor.
Stajan has had three seasons where he's been a top-6 forward by any measure and another outlying season where he was unfairly lambasted by both fans and coach alike - which is odd considering the coach is the one that positioned Stajan to fail. He might not be able to make his teammates in the top-6 better, but he can play with them to the degree necessary. He pushes play forward and scores at a good rate while costing about the average amount for his position.
While I never thought Stajan was as bad as his 2011-2012 suggested, I doubt he'll score at a 2.0 ESP/60 rate again this year as his regression to the mean vis-à-vis his PDO is likely to take a little bit of a toll on his scoring situation. However, he will receive more ice time on the PP and at ES, so a significant drop overall in point production is unlikely. If he can score .5PPG (~1.85 P/60) and keep a positive adjusted Corsi rate, that will be a very successful season in my eyes and it will likely have him scoring at a 2nd line rate once again.
His contract might've been signed too soon, but since signing it Stajan has played to the level someone who has a $3.5 million cap hit should. Simply put, he's a decent second line centre (or good third line centre) and he has played like it throughout the duration of his contract.
He'll have his detractors in Calgary for the rest of the time he spends here, but Matt Stajan has been and will likely continue to be a decent player for the club. It will be interesting to see how he fares this year and whether the team decides to keep him or flip him at the deadline for some sort of return.
August 23 2013, 09:26AM
As we've begun to hammer home at the Leafs Nation, it's hilarious/sad that Brian Burke and Dave Nonis have not been able to find a replacement for MATT STAJAN after having dealt him away.
By just about any measure, Stajan is better than Tyler Bozak. He'll probably wind up on a cheaper UFA contract as well.
This is like 90% of my posts here on FN. love you jazzy V
August 23 2013, 09:30AM
no doubt jarome's decline had a bearing on matty franchise's first year(s) in calgary. you could see the fanbase warm to him as he improved noticeably over the years, and i feel it had something to do with being distanced from the spiralling "top" line.
no point, really, except to acknowledge that i hated him upon arrival in YYC, and am rather fond of him now.
worst comment ever.
August 23 2013, 09:44AM
I have two main issues with Stajan:
1) He doesn't seem to be able to drive a line to save his life - you put him on the top line with top line players, he's okay/mediocre. You put him on the third line with third line players, he's okay/mediocre. He just seems to adapt to be "okay" at every single level of difficulty he plays, rather than absolutely murdering guys if you give him a more sheltered role. To me that indicates that he's a competent passenger rather than a guy you build any part of your team around. Now, a competent passenger isn't the worst thing in the world, but it does mean you have to surround the guy with better players than he in order for him to succeed.
2) People, to this day, say he's better than Backlund. That alone is enough to make me hate the guy.
Oh, 2.5) He was the central piece in the Phaneuf trade that ended up being a major fleecing of the Flames organization (I know, let it go).
@Cam Charron
That's not true, you have Mikhail Grabovski, and he's...
oh, right.
Well, the Flames are still looking for a replacement for Daymond Langkow, who "wasn't good enough" while he was here.
Will the franchise parallels never end?
August 23 2013, 09:45AM
I was never too kind to Stajan, but I kinda started feeling sorry for him eventually. I considered starting a "Matt Stajan's broken heart" twitter parody in fact.
@Kent Wilson
you are the soul of human decency.
Good point. Cam got that comment completely wrong. However, I'm not too worried as Bozak will be traded ala Stajan/Phaneuf for some offensive minded and troubled NHL player.
I still remember back when there were the live chats for games here and everyone would always make fun of the Staj (me included). He had a stretch there where it seemed everything he tried to do just wouldn't work, and EVERYBODY thought he would be bought out after this year. But then at the end of the 2011-12 season he finally started to get some bounces to go his way and it continued into this season. Good for him .
But he is not a top line centre and unfortunately that's what people thought they were getting when he came in the infamous Dion trade. If his deal had been about 1M-1.5M less, he would have been far more respected by Flames fans.
I hope he lights it up this year and then the Flames can flip him at the deadline for a pick/prospect.
I have heard from two people that are friends with Stajan that he just doesn't care that much about hockey anymore. He is unmotivated. Guess you take that with a grain of salt but thats what I heard.
One more year... One more year... One more year...
Terrific article. A sane view on a player that has been judged way too harshly during his tenure. I'm all for resigning him. Decent 2nd/3rd line center to have during a rebuild.
I agree he's not a top 2 line center on a playoff team, but with the Flames current situation he's perfect. While I have been defending him pretty much since his arrival, it's good to see the numbers back it up. Interesting comparables on contract, must admit that despite the fact I have defended him, I thought he was considerably more overpaid than he really is.
Unfortunately, he'll never outgrow the stigma attached to that awful trade/signing.
I look forward to Feaster getting nothing for him; letting him walk as a UFA to get rid of a Sutter-regime player.
August 23 2013, 10:27AM
This article actually makes some good points.
Is there any way to forward this to the 29 other GM's? Say... Around trade deadline time?
I assumed that was the whole point of the article... Try and start re-pumping his trade value now before the deadline :)
August 23 2013, 11:19AM
Ahem, no, no, not at all. *wink wink*

He isn't exactly the fittest guy in the world and apparently doesn't work too hard to correct that. Sutter has no patience for that and buried him because of it.
August 23 2013, 12:28PM
Is that true? I never saw any real confirmation of that anywhere.
Stajan for Captain 2013

I bet he does, too.
I don't feel sorry for him, he's underachieved as far as I am concerned. When Sutter made the trade in a panic move we still expected Stajan to put up the offensive numbers he had in Toronto. Players come to Calgary and struggle big time here. Whether its expectations or systems guys aren't having the same type of production. Jay-Bo and Jokinen both struggled here offensively and weren't the players we wanted them to be. Stajan can be better, sure he might have been behind the pecking order here a bit but still his shot totals have been way down and has seen a dip in his shooting percentage. Though his role had changed like Jokinen to be a more defensive player, the Flames didn't need veterans converting a defensive mode especially for an offensively challenge club.
Well we don't need to worry about signing Grabovski. :(
Is that true? I never saw any real confirmation of that anywhere.
It is. He even admitted on an interview that he could spend more time on that area. I don't know if that has changed as that was a couple of years ago
A week or so ago theleafsnation did a comparison between Stajan and Bozak.
Here's the comment I posted, since it's equally valid here.
Flames fan here.
Stajan is remarkable both for his mediocrity and consistency. His shots/minute rate has remained pretty much the same since he was in Toronto. Butter (Brent Sutter) absolutely despised him though, and his average TOI was slashed in half as a Flame. To make matters worse, his PDO cratered simultaneously and his point production showed the effects of both for two seasons after he came to Calgary. By the end of Butter's reign he seemed to be struggling with a whipping-boy complex (he even called himself a whipping-boy in an interview). He was playing on the fourth or sometimes third line and, while not getting clobbered, was completely failing to take advantage of the goons and mooks he was facing.
Last season, under Hartley, his TOI was restored, he was shuffled up to the top two lines, and his PDO finally regressed towards something that can be described at "not utterly cursed". He was deployed against top competition and, as usual, had mediocre possesion. Still, mediocre possession against top competition is a triumphant comeback after his previous season!
Stajan was definitely misused by Butter and the counting stats from his Butter years do not reflect the kind of player he is. You're not going to get accurate results if you use data from his first two full seasons as a Flame to compare him with Bozak.
This season the Flames will probably try to fluff up Stajan's counting stats a little so they can get a good return for him. It's a contract year for Stajan and it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to re-sign with Calgary, so he's definitely going to be on the auction block. Want him for a firstie? ;) You guys are totally making the playoffs this year, so it's a fair trade!
Aside: Yes, I do covet Toronto's first round pick this season.
Great article...Justin could you please email a copy to Lambert so he has something well written for reference.

Superman has a Matt Stajan jersey. He won it in a raffle, but doesn't really wear it, because he's not actually much of a hockey fan.

Governor Ajimobi To Re-Build Alaafin's Palace
The Alaafin of Oyo's palace which caught fire yesterday, will now be fixed by the State Governor. The Governor visited the Palace yesterday (same day of the fire incident) and told the Oba that it was his responsibility to re-build the palace. He also commended him for a job well done, because no one died in the fire out break.

Guinta sole legislator from Maine, N.H. to reject cliff deal
Thursday, January 3, 2013
DOVER — As he prepared to end his first term in office, New Hampshire Rep. Frank Guinta joined a minority of House members in voting to reject the fiscal cliff bargain struck by Republican leaders and the White House.
"We, in the House of Representatives, back on Aug. 1, passed an extension of all the (tax) rates," Guinta said, referring to a Republican House proposal that kept tax rates steady for wealthy and middle class Americans alike. "That was at Harry Reid's desk for months."
Maine's two congressmen also supported the bill. Democratic U.S. Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree say the bill protects working families, prevents milk prices from rising sharply and extends tax credits that will benefit families and create jobs. Michaud said without the legislation, Maine residents would have paid an additional $1.4 billion in taxes in 2013.
Foster's staff writer Jim Haddadin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Upcoming cat show adding agility competition
Sunday, January 20, 2013
DOVER -- The latest craze to hit the cat show circuit is about to make its debut at New Hampshire Feline Fanciers cat show on Jan. 26-27 at the Dover Middle School.
Does your special kitty like being the center of attention and love to run and chase toys? If so, then owners are invited to enter and compete their kitties in the show and/or agility by submitting their entry online by Jan. 21. All 4-plus month old kitties may enter and must be current on inoculations, neutered/spayed if 8-plus months old and may not be declawed.

But seriously... That's actually kind of true.
I want more focus on GNU/Hurd (and I'm serious), because that's a very solid OS to stand on for an unlimited amount of years. It's the best, yet unfinnished, *NIX out there.
And then they should realize a couple of things, for example:
-Standard code libraries, filled with awesomeness, with a Java wrapper on top (so that software will run for eternity);
-Versioning, and only major version jumps remain supported;
-Digital office, done serious;
-OpenGL replacement graphics lib (with the lowest level access support, while still abstracting hardware) for games;
-Standard API's for each new sort of input device (camera, controller (hide HID and DirectInput), accelerometer, etc.);
-Some badass internet protocols;
-Big ass developper manual;
-Downloadable PDF user manual.
Then they should keep the religious stuff behind the curtains. Done.
PS: And the UI needs to be revolutionary; touch&mouse-based graphical commandline. No typing. Having a structured canvas for your tasks, done like Microsoft Project diagrams.

Which isn't to say that there aren't cases where Octave doesn't cut it. It's not the tool boxes and fanfare, but the lack of a JIT compiler what sometimes gets in the way. These friend of mine works in a department where the PA has grown tired of paying MATLAB licenses, but can't switch to Octave wholesale because of execution speed. Actually, apparently my friend found ODE/PDE solving algorithms in Octave which are more sofisticated and faster on paper than those available in MATLAB, but they would run much slower in practice.
Having said this, it's been a good while I myself don't do anything in Octave, for Numpy/Scipy do everything I want plus everything I could ever imagine in terms of non-strictly scientific stuff thanks to Python (say wrapping some data analysis stuff on a real little program that talks to other machines, grabs some files here and there or maybe display a little GUI to make it usable by others).
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that if anti-piracy measures actually worked, free software would see a huge increase in use. There's no way, like, absolutely no way, your average moron would pay the full cost of a Photoshop license to do some red-eye removal or crop the picture of a cat. The moment people realised they had to scratch their pockets real hard free alternatives would spread like fire.Originally Posted by crazycheese
Not to forget though is that Photoshop IS the best in class for what it does (which should be expected given what it costs and by the sheer number of developer expertize it has) so it's not as if it's market dominance is undeserved. But I doubt many home users would consider it worth it's price would they have to actually pay.
It is sad to see that people are forgetting the importance of the Free Software Foundation. Michael, I would accept such post from some sort of commercial blog or a Windows one, but not from you.
After all this reading, I'm staring to think people don't deserve Free Software because they are unable to capture what Free Software really means.
- CAD(take you pick of commercial stuff): DWG is the defacto format for 2D drawings. STEP (open I think) is the default for 3d stuff. Yes i have tried to use openCAD... try to draw a gear, or even a rectangle with rounded corners.
- Excel: We need a replacement for excel that supports macros, and loading COM dlls. I'd be happy to be able to easily pack some python code (with modules) into a openoffice file. I don't need VBA compatibility, but to be honest VBA is likely easily converted to python automatically well enough.
Anyways, AutoCAD, Inventor, Solidworks, and ProEngineer are all lightyears ahead of the opensource stuff and I have probably tried all of the open ones. The reason this is on the list is there is a lot of data locked up in DWG format.
