Blackhawks extend Quenneville
Stan Bowman wanted to keep Joel Quenneville in Chicago, and the coach had no desire to leave.
After two Stanley Cup titles in four seasons, this was a no-brainer.
The Blackhawks announced a three-year contract extension for Quenneville on Friday, kicking off their sixth annual fan convention with a crowd-pleasing move.
Check out the best Stanley Cup celebration photos after the Chicago Blackhawks won it all."There's no one we'd want coaching this team more than Joel," said Bowman, who was promoted to general manager about nine months after Quenneville was hired in 2008. "He's done a fantastic job over the years. I think the record speaks for itself."
The 54-year-old Quenneville is 222-106 in five seasons in Chicago. He led the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup in 2010, ending a 49-year drought, and then coached them to another title this year.
With captain Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and several other players standing off to the side, Quenneville said he was privileged to coach the best group in the league.
"I know we don't get to see all the other teams, but as far as the character, the quality, the experience, the leadership, we have all the intangibles that can make a team successful," he said.
Quenneville's deal was set to expire next year, but it now runs through the 2016-17 season. The announcement was no surprise, since Bowman had said since the end of the season that an extension was a priority and the coach talked all along about how much he enjoyed being part of the organization.
It's likely the last major offseason move for the Blackhawks, who return largely intact as they try to become the first team to win consecutive NHL titles since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998.
"It's a great start to the weekend with the Hawks announcing the contract for Q," Toews said. "It's much deserved. I mean he's done a lot of great things for his team since he's been here in Chicago."
This is Quenneville's third stop as a head coach in the NHL. The former defenseman is 660-389-77 in 16 seasons with St. Louis, Colorado and Chicago. He won the Jack Adams Award, which is given to the head coach who has contributed most to his team's success, in 2000 with the Blues and was a nominee for the award again this year.
Check out our latest Facebook updates, tweets and photos.
Quenneville led Chicago to a NHL-best 36-7-5 record this season. The Blackhawks earned at least one point in each of their first 24 games, setting an NHL record. He has recorded at least 40 wins in nine of his 10 full seasons as a coach.
"I think he's helped me in a lot of ways, especially defensively," said Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy this year for NHL playoff MVP. "That part of the game, and how to prepare yourself as a player and how to get yourself ready for certain games and be ready at all times."
Quenneville was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round of the 1978 draft and played 803 games in parts of 13 seasons in the NHL with the Colorado Rockies, New Jersey Devils and Hartford Whalers.
The Windsor, Ontario, native is one of two men in NHL history to play in 800 or more games and coach 1,000 or more games.
Quenneville's long career as a player gives him credibility in the locker room, and his players rave about his consistent approach.
"I always tend to see Joel as the same old, same coach. I mean that's what we appreciate out of him," defenseman Duncan Keith said. "You always know what you're getting.
"We all enjoy playing for him and I think he's always been a great coach."

Say it with Skype and Body Language
Have you heard? Body Language is one of the bands featured in the brand new Say it with Skype app. Now you can give a special friend a group video greeting for their birthday. Better yet, the greeting will feature you singing "Happy Birthday" along with the band. Cool, huh?
"One of the best birthday cards that I have received was one with lots of money in it, Skype's unique greeting card idea is way better than that! Body Language loves Skype and we're glad to be a part of this project," says Body Language.
The band's newest album Social Studies EP is a follow-up to their 2009 debut Speaks. "… We wrapped our record up like a tidy textbook of genres, or different cultures in a social studies class. The top-heavy baseline will absolutely hammer your speakers, but then – the symphonic synths start flowing and soon you're sent into a neon-lit trance of musical notes," says the band.
Can't get enough then visit www.bodylanguagemusic.com
Be sure to think of Body Language and Say it with Skype next time you celebrate a birthday. And, don't forget to catch a show near you!

If the shoe fits: Najib and (from left) Teraju CEO Husni Salleh, deputy prime Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and minister in the prime minister department Datuk Seri Wahid Omar looking at the shoe made with batek elements and worn by Nur Hidayah Hassan after announcing the Superb bizpitch winners in Putrajaya.
PUTRAJAYA: An ecstatic group of 25 Malaysian entrepreneurs have received RM6.5mil in Government grants collectively under the Skim Usahawan Permulaan Bumiputera (Superb) awarded by the Bumiputra Agenda Coordinating Unit (Teraju).
They were selected from a pool of 1,791 business idea entries submitted for the scheme from Feb 2 to Feb 21.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who announced the winners yesterday, said the scheme was aimed at supporting high-impact business proposals from qualified individuals.
"It is not about who you know but what you know," Najib said about the scheme before presenting certificates to the recipients at the Prime Minister's Department Complex.
The top 13 finalists were awarded with RM500,000 grant each while 12 others will receive RM25,000 each for their business proposal.
The entries in the first series were screened by a jury of business leaders consisting of AirAsia Berhad executive chairman Datuk Kamaruddin Meranun, Mydin Holdings Berhad managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin, Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia (Sabah chapter) chairman Datuk Awang Buhtamam and Omni Petromaritime Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Dr Jamal Yusof.
Business development manager Nur Azini Mohamed Kamal, 37, was overwhelmed after her business idea was announced as one of the top entries for the Superb scheme.
She said she had spent two years trying to convince local manufacturers to take on her idea to bring the the Electric Muscles Simulations (EMS) alternative gymnasium to Malaysia but without much success.
"The EMS Gym is not just aimed for those wanting to lose weight but also to help those with issues such as back problems, frozen shoulders and arthritis," said Nur Azini, who was looking forward to launch her EMS studio in Bangsar.
Another delighted recipient was software architect Megat Farril Rizal, 37, who developed a multilayer data security solution dubbed the "ENCR8TORXlayer" which he hopes to be implemented in the Government's systems.
"I am thankful to be chosen despite the stiff competition as there were many good entrepreneurs out there.
"This scheme shows that the Government cares for bumiputra entrepreneurs, such as myself, and this grant will be the turning point for me in my business," he said.

Get the QB in 2015. It wont cost as much as you think to trade up and get one of these guys. I worry about Rick picking the players for the Texans. I've been underwhelmed by his performance thus far.
1. Winston
2. Hogan
4. Hundley
5. Mariota
I hope u don't feel like I'm trolling you because I'm not. I just always find it amusing when you list these guys aside from maybe winston. I like winston a lot,but he doesn't read the field either because his wrs are winning early. Not his fault. Mariotta will not throw a guy open. When they played stanford a game in which your other favorite threw for like 100 yds,mariotta kept pulling the ball down becase guys weren't open as much as he's used to seeing. Hundley is very,very inconsistent. All of these guys with the exception of winston are in the same yr of development as bridgewater yet he's light years ahead of those guys in terms of making throws into windows,game management at the los,and just mentally. If bridgewater goes back,which I doubt,he will still be ahead of those guys. In the case of those guys,I guess we're suppose to sit back through another 3 win season right.
Again,this trenches warefare you bring up,which I do like,you have to tell me why the texans can't do it in the mid to later rds.When they were so called realy good on the o-line, they had brown(late 1st),smith(journeyman)meyers(5th rd),briesel(udfa),and winston(3rd) as their trench guys. On dl,which I think they have been too small feature jj(11th pick 1st rd) , ninja(was a 4th rd ,fa). If they get a big nt who can play,get crick in at lde,play jones at lg and quess at rt,I think they're gonna be pretty good in the trenches. That wouldn't rule meout from having competetion at those spots.
Every draft,this board wants to trade down,but someone has to wanna trade up and give up picks which is not always the case. For all the good rivers,nugent,and merriman did immediately,the chargers with rivers haven't won a sb nor even been to a conf title game. Is that to say it was a bad trade? No,but eli has 2 rings,rivers has none.The rg3 trade has netted the rams exactly what? Brockers,austin(whom they gave up picks acquired to get),jenkins,and whomever they get this year. Sounds good doesn't it,but look at bradford who isn't the answer. At least rg3 won the won the division his 1st season and looks closer,despite the struggles this year as being the guy vs bradford. Now the rams will miss the playoffs for the 12th straight season and still don't have a qb.
Be a student of the game, not a fan.

5/10/2009 9:08 pm (et) bluelady: One thing I was thinking...as Sills was one of the commanders...was the escaped Raiders.. I am thinking some of them found the lines close to this time...what a way to come back if that is true.5/10/2009 9:08 pm (et) Pvt Miles: I can picture them beating it out of town as if they were riding the home stretch of the Derby.
5/10/2009 9:08 pm (et) Widow: Of course, the rescue could come first and the new governor later.5/10/2009 9:09 pm (et) bluelady: Good one Miles.
5/10/2009 9:10 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Miles you're now the raiders expert, were they reaching union lines about this time? Or was that November?5/10/2009 9:10 pm (et) bluelady: Can you imagine trying to discern intelligence a day after it is written...with Bragg's state of mind?
5/10/2009 9:10 pm (et) Susansweet: Miles it was comical all right. That and the part where Bragg envisioned another2 Manassas with Kirby Smith as Jackson.5/10/2009 9:11 pm (et) Pvt Miles: They were about to make their prison break.
5/10/2009 9:11 pm (et) Susansweet: Bragg had a mind?5/10/2009 9:11 pm (et) Widow: Yeah, but Bragg wasn't Lee and K Smith wasn't Jackson.
5/10/2009 9:12 pm (et) bluelady: A confused one for sure Susan.5/10/2009 9:12 pm (et) Susansweet: Oh true he was one confused man.
5/10/2009 9:13 pm (et) Widow: Bluelady, bingo. I gave up trying to understand all his orders. Just as his subordinates must have, also.5/10/2009 9:13 pm (et) Susansweet: As Noe says aside from his apparently troubled psyche Braggs biggest problem was. . .
5/10/2009 9:13 pm (et) mobile_96: And could spread that confusion far and wide.5/10/2009 9:13 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Bragg wasn't the only confused general at P-ville.
5/10/2009 9:13 pm (et) bluelady: Yep Miles I just looked it up October escape from Fulton County.5/10/2009 9:13 pm (et) Widow: Not that Polk was any better at clarification.
5/10/2009 9:14 pm (et) bluelady: But in a defense to Bragg his subordinates were not ever that cooperative either.5/10/2009 9:14 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: It seemed that few generals could write clear and concise messages and few could interpret the messages.
5/10/2009 9:14 pm (et) Widow: Bluelady, bingo again. I so agree with you.5/10/2009 9:15 pm (et) Susansweet: Page 127 Noe mentions the biggest what if question of the Civil War.
5/10/2009 9:15 pm (et) bluelady: I liked Hardee's comment to the Dr. with the umbrella.5/10/2009 9:15 pm (et) Widow: Hardee and Polk. What a pair!
5/10/2009 9:15 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: He snapped that umbrella right away.5/10/2009 9:15 pm (et) Susansweet: Did Polk act correctly in ordering the retreat or should he have obeyed his orders and moved north despite the threat approaching him.
5/10/2009 9:15 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: To this day officers don't carry umbrellas.5/10/2009 9:16 pm (et) Susansweet: Did like the umbrella story.
5/10/2009 9:16 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Polk wasn't given to following orders, but that is what he was required to do.5/10/2009 9:16 pm (et) Widow: Susan, I like the way Noe handled the discussion of Polk's decision.
5/10/2009 9:17 pm (et) mobile_96: Unless circumstances dictate otherwise.5/10/2009 9:17 pm (et) Susansweet: Seems like many of Braggs men didn't like to follow orders of couse they may not have know which orders to follow.
5/10/2009 9:17 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: I've liked the way Noe has handled much of the book. He is my favorite kind of writer.5/10/2009 9:17 pm (et) bluelady: Hmmm... Polk did not have the imagination to change his course on a dime...so following the orders that were made under different circumstances might not have been a bad idea but I still think he should have tried to listen to his commander.
5/10/2009 9:18 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Hi Cleburne Fan. I think you're CF and I'm LF...This book had to be difficult to write. Just trying to make sense of all the correspondence would be a challenge.5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: How can a general commanding run a battle if each officer under him is running his own battle as an independent command which Polk seemed to do.
5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) bluelady: another thing we also have to remember is how close to the beginning of the war this battle is and how green the troops are.5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) Babs: Noe must have had a whole wall of sticky notes trying to make a timeline for it.
5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) Widow: I'm glad Noe did the heavy lifting in his analysis. I keep going back to re-read, in hopes it would clarify.5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) Susansweet: He can't that is the problem with this army.
5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Hi, Lincoln Fan. Yes, Noe had to have done truly exhaustive research.5/10/2009 9:19 pm (et) mobile_96: In hindsight, should he have moved north? What would/could happen if he did so.
5/10/2009 9:20 pm (et) bluelady: CK...it seems to me Polk always did that...you would think that after all that Bragg would order him NOT to do something if he really wanted him to do it! hehe5/10/2009 9:20 pm (et) Susansweet: I started reading Hafendorfer this week also and it is just as convuluted there too.
5/10/2009 9:20 pm (et) mobile_96: However, the commanding General was no where around.5/10/2009 9:20 pm (et) Widow: Mobile, I can't imagine what would have happened. I can barely follow what really did happen.
5/10/2009 9:20 pm (et) Susansweet: Oh good idea Blue , don't do this what ever you do .5/10/2009 9:21 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: I confess to trouble imagining the terrain even referring constantly to the maps.
5/10/2009 9:21 pm (et) mobile_96: Susan, I agree, but think Noe managed to read a little more deeply, and...more sources than Haf did.5/10/2009 9:21 pm (et) Susansweet: The funny thing is Bragg wasn't that upset with Polk either.
5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: I think any book on Perryville would be the same - don't look for Cliffnotes.5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) Widow: Cleburne, yes, again the maps. When you're hot and thirsty and inhaling ankle-deep dust, you just hope the boss knows where he's going..
5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: It seems it pleased Bragg if somebody, anybody made a DECISION, because he couldn't.5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) mobile_96: CF, to get some idea of the terrain, check either my website, or CivilWarAlbum.com for photos around Perry..
5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) bluelady: CF (and not CK) I was trying to look at the map there and still did not get a grasp of the hills but as we learned from Noe last week, the publishers did not want all the maps he wanted to put in himself.5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) Susansweet: Right mobile but man the maps are many.
5/10/2009 9:22 pm (et) Widow: Actually, the boss doesn't even know where he is, or the enemy, or5/10/2009 9:23 pm (et) bluelady: Susan...it was still early in the war for him to get too mad at Polk yet.
5/10/2009 9:23 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: And he didn't have a GPS to help. How on earth did they fight a war with no GPS and cell phones?5/10/2009 9:23 pm (et) Susansweet: True and poor Polk doesn't last too long.
5/10/2009 9:23 pm (et) mobile_96: Besides, how could he get mad, when he didn't even know what he wanted done from hour to hour.5/10/2009 9:24 pm (et) Widow: Cleburne, the way it's described in this book. Bumbling and stumbling.
5/10/2009 9:24 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Buell overestimated his enemy and Bragg underestimated his enemy - adding to the confusion.5/10/2009 9:24 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Bishop Polk came to a terrible end I wouldn't wish on anyone.
5/10/2009 9:24 pm (et) bluelady: Right on mobile.5/10/2009 9:25 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Buell didn't seem to realize there WAS an enemy on the eighth.
5/10/2009 9:25 pm (et) bluelady: Basically this chapter was the battle of hills for a creek.5/10/2009 9:26 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: B&G maps a little better. Still have to read, check map, and reread.
5/10/2009 9:26 pm (et) Babs: Water seem to be a huge problem in many battles. Did they ever consider carrying water in the wagons or would it have been too heavy?5/10/2009 9:26 pm (et) bluelady: Perryville to water =Gettysburg to shoes
5/10/2009 9:26 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Water was so vitally important and EVERY man and horse was desperate for it.5/10/2009 9:26 pm (et) Widow: The couriers carrying the next change of orders must have met each other - one on the way out and the other on the way back. "Another change?" "Yep."
5/10/2009 9:26 pm (et) Susansweet: They would have had to find it and needed the room in the wagons to carry other things I would guess.5/10/2009 9:27 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Was just going to say that Babs. Seems like the battle was fought there for the water.
5/10/2009 9:27 pm (et) bluelady: Too heavy and too much of a waste of materials and animals I would think babs.5/10/2009 9:27 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Plus it would have been hard to keep it pure.
5/10/2009 9:27 pm (et) Widow: Blue and Cleburne, men could march barefoot for days, but nobody, man or beast, can go long without water.5/10/2009 9:27 pm (et) mobile_96: How many wagons would they need to supply each army, and then the troops would have been tied down completely to the wagons
5/10/2009 9:28 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Of course, it wasn't pure anyway...just mud puddles at Doctor's Creek,5/10/2009 9:28 pm (et) Susansweet: Wagons clogged the roads as it is and are slower moving than the men.
5/10/2009 9:28 pm (et) mobile_96: They just tried to rely on the countryside, same as all the other armies did.5/10/2009 9:28 pm (et) Babs: They didn't seem to have much luck finding pure water.
5/10/2009 9:28 pm (et) Widow: "Too thin to plow and too thick to drink," as they said about the Platte River.5/10/2009 9:29 pm (et) bluelady: With all kinds of things swimming in it.
5/10/2009 9:29 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Troops arrived ahead of supply wagons anyway.5/10/2009 9:29 pm (et) mobile_96: Surprising how often it did rain, but soil so dry that it was sucked right up, with none making it to the streams and creeks.
5/10/2009 9:29 pm (et) Susansweet: I found it interesting that on page 133 Bragg points to the map boldly and says the next great battle for Kentucky will be at Versailles.5/10/2009 9:29 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Imagine. Buell told his surgeons to leave the ambulances behind.
5/10/2009 9:29 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: I still don't understand why both armies were not entirely ill from what they drank. Doesn't seem like anyone would be fit to fight.5/10/2009 9:30 pm (et) bluelady: Susan...he was clueless.
5/10/2009 9:30 pm (et) Pvt Miles: It seems the Confederate cavalry could have done a better job in determining the where abouts of the Feds, but the lack of water may have had been a factor on their effectiveness.5/10/2009 9:30 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Wheeler found some Federals, but not ALL of the Federals.
5/10/2009 9:31 pm (et) mobile_96: But a lot more had the trots than stated in the diaries during this time5/10/2009 9:31 pm (et) bluelady: Miles and also what I said earlier about being early in the war...even the confeds at this time did not quite know how to effectively use cavalry.
5/10/2009 9:31 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Supposedly though, Conf. cavalry was better than Federal Cav at that time.5/10/2009 9:32 pm (et) mobile_96: They were starting to understand, but....not to their fullest extent.
5/10/2009 9:32 pm (et) Widow: Blue, in the Kentucky Theater, maybe. Wheeler wasn't Jeb Stuart, for sure for sure.5/10/2009 9:32 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: NO, but Wheeler lived a heck of a lot longer.
5/10/2009 9:32 pm (et) Susansweet: I love the story of the old lady and and Hardee on page 134.5/10/2009 9:32 pm (et) Widow: Rather, the commanders didn't understand the capabilities of the horsemen. Not just escorts.
5/10/2009 9:33 pm (et) Susansweet: CF a whole whole lot longer.5/10/2009 9:33 pm (et) Susansweet: And came back to fight again in the Spanish American war.
5/10/2009 9:33 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Of course, that wasn't really Stuart's fault that he met his end at Yellow Tavern.5/10/2009 9:33 pm (et) Pvt Miles: Where was Wharton at this time?
5/10/2009 9:34 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Wheeler saw action in the Philippines too.5/10/2009 9:34 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Can you imagine a high-ranking military officer being sidetracked because someone mistook his age?
5/10/2009 9:34 pm (et) Susansweet: Miles is this the same Wharton that was hung ?5/10/2009 9:34 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Wharton was at Perryville. I better run and get my book to check exactly where.
5/10/2009 9:34 pm (et) Susansweet: Vain I bet LF.5/10/2009 9:35 pm (et) Susansweet: He was there I saw his name
5/10/2009 9:35 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Gosh, was Wharton hung? On what charge?5/10/2009 9:35 pm (et) Widow: Billy Hardee had same problem as Beauregard - ran out of hair dye from France.
5/10/2009 9:35 pm (et) Pvt Miles: Don't know off hand...will find out.5/10/2009 9:35 pm (et) Susansweet: Is this Wharton the relative of Lee?
5/10/2009 9:36 pm (et) Susansweet: Teej wrote an article about the hanging for North South a few years ago.5/10/2009 9:36 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Tell me for once and for all. Is Hardee's Hamburger franchise named after W. Hardee?
5/10/2009 9:36 pm (et) Susansweet: Took place at Franklin.5/10/2009 9:36 pm (et) Susansweet: Now that I do not know as Hardee's out here is Carl's Jr.
5/10/2009 9:37 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Wharton was hung at Franklin? What for?5/10/2009 9:37 pm (et) Susansweet: Spy
5/10/2009 9:37 pm (et) Widow: Cleburne, of course! Guy who wrote "Hardee's Tactics" was a mean chef, doncha know.5/10/2009 9:37 pm (et) bluelady: this one was killed by another officer in a quarrel on April 6 1865.
5/10/2009 9:37 pm (et) Susansweet: Thanks blue I wondered if it was the same one or not.5/10/2009 9:38 pm (et) Pvt Miles: Right, Blue.
5/10/2009 9:38 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: His book of tactics included BBQ at the bivouac campfire.5/10/2009 9:38 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: No reference of his being related to Lee.
5/10/2009 9:39 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: So Wharton was like Bull Nelson--killed by Jefferson Davis, the Union general.5/10/2009 9:40 pm (et) bluelady: He was killed by George Baylor and Baylor was acquitted.
5/10/2009 9:40 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Anyway, how much difference did cavalry really make at Perryville. I see it as an infantry and artillery battle primarily.5/10/2009 9:40 pm (et) Susansweet: What was this Wharton's first name?
5/10/2009 9:40 pm (et) Babs: Edith5/10/2009 9:40 pm (et) Susansweet: I don't think the cavalry could have done much with the terrain at Perryville.
5/10/2009 9:40 pm (et) mobile_96:John5/10/2009 9:41 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: No kidding!
5/10/2009 9:41 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: John Austin5/10/2009 9:41 pm (et) Susansweet: BABS!!!! one of my favorite authors.
5/10/2009 9:41 pm (et) Widow: Cleburne, in chap. 8, the Federals with their revolving Colt rifles made a LOT of difference.5/10/2009 9:41 pm (et) Widow: Bab, perfect :=))
5/10/2009 9:41 pm (et) Susansweet: We are in chapter 75/10/2009 9:42 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: That is my problem. I read the whole book. Now I don't know what happened in each chpater.
5/10/2009 9:43 pm (et) Babs: That's why I don't dare read ahead.5/10/2009 9:43 pm (et) Susansweet: Any more comments on Chapter 7 or do you all want to move on to Chapter 8?
5/10/2009 9:43 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Chapter 7 ends with officers planning a mutiny. How about that on the eve of a battle.5/10/2009 9:44 pm (et) Widow: By the way, the picture of Peters Hill on page 135 is much like Malvern Hill, but a little steeper.
5/10/2009 9:44 pm (et) Susansweet: Chapter 8 Enough Boys for This Morning.5/10/2009 9:45 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: It is extraordinary.
5/10/2009 9:45 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Can't actually say that I blame them. Actually, surprised the same thing wasn't going on in the confederate camp. That could be why the reb officers were just doing their own thing.5/10/2009 9:45 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: I meant the Union mutiny.
5/10/2009 9:45 pm (et) Susansweet: Except Malvern Hill is steeper and has trees on two sides.5/10/2009 9:45 pm (et) bluelady: CF..they planned that earlier it was just mentioned again IIRC.
5/10/2009 9:45 pm (et) mobile_96: Only in the West, both sides!5/10/2009 9:46 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Speed Fry was a character.
5/10/2009 9:46 pm (et) Susansweet: We meet Sam Watkins again at the beginning of this chapter.5/10/2009 9:46 pm (et) bluelady: Looked like to me this chapter was telling us they hunkered down into what was gained or lost depending on what side you were on.
5/10/2009 9:46 pm (et) Susansweet: Talking about Perryville.5/10/2009 9:46 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Can't see Malvern Hill in that picture.
5/10/2009 9:46 pm (et) bluelady: Gone visiting...skedaddled that is! :)5/10/2009 9:47 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: The names of several chapters are quotes from Sam Watkins or other Civil War diarists.
5/10/2009 9:47 pm (et) Susansweet: Me either LF not at all like the Malvern Hill I saw.5/10/2009 9:47 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Chapter begins with Perryville citizens in mass exodus. Both sides of the road in gridlock with troops coming in also.
5/10/2009 9:48 pm (et) Susansweet: This chapter kept me on pins and needles waiting with them and wondering if there were men at the top of the hill.5/10/2009 9:48 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: I'd have run away too. NO use ending up like that poor girl in Gettysburg.
5/10/2009 9:49 pm (et) bluelady: now LF that sounds like Manassas...clogged road that is.5/10/2009 9:49 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Surprising how eager some of the "New fish" were to get into a real shooting battle.
5/10/2009 9:49 pm (et) mobile_96: Wanting to Prove themselves.5/10/2009 9:49 pm (et) bluelady: Gennie was in a house baking bread behind closed doors...dumb being where the house was but closed doors just the same.
5/10/2009 9:50 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Was there another use for the word "Promiscuous" in the 1860's. Its used twice on page 144. "promiscuous visiting" and "wagons loaded promiscuously".5/10/2009 9:51 pm (et) Babs: I think it just meant "a lot".
5/10/2009 9:51 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Promiscuous visiting sounds like something Kilpatrick would do.5/10/2009 9:51 pm (et) Babs: :^)
5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Of course, Kilpatrick wasn't at Perryville.5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) mobile_96: indiscriminately mingled is one meaning.
5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) bluelady: Or he may have meant unhealthy or ill advised.5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Doesn't Sheridan strike anyone here as a martinet?
5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Makes sense, mobile.5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) bluelady: I like mobile's better.
5/10/2009 9:52 pm (et) Pvt Miles: Watkins certainly had a way of words.5/10/2009 9:53 pm (et) mobile_96: In Webster's.
5/10/2009 9:53 pm (et) Susansweet: CF he always does me , not my favorite general at all.5/10/2009 9:53 pm (et) mobile_96: As for the visiting reference, might mean they were out visiting anyone and everyone.
5/10/2009 9:53 pm (et) mobile_96: Anywhere, but around home.5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Susansweet: Mobile that is what I thought it might mean.
5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: That would be indiscriminately, mobile.5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Susansweet: Sounds like a good definition of the word.
5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Pvt Miles: It doesn't seem like "Little Phil" gave Dan McCook's men their due.5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Widow: Cleburne, Sheridan wasn't the martinet that Gilbert was. Though some of Phil's men may have wanted to kill him at one time or another.
5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: Gilbert was a disappointment to me. He was in over his head.5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Pvt Miles: They seemed to give a pretty good account of themselves in taking Peter's Hill.
5/10/2009 9:54 pm (et) Lincoln Fan: Otherwise known as any port in in storm, and there was about to be a storm at Perryville.5/10/2009 9:55 pm (et) mobile_96: Pretty much LF.
5/10/2009 9:55 pm (et) Widow: Good point, Lincoln. Again I'm struck by how Gettysburg turned out so similar to Perryville - at least as far as we've gotten in this book.5/10/2009 9:55 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: General McCOok is the one who really took the brunt of the day's events.
5/10/2009 9:56 pm (et) bluelady: Gilbert reminded me of the kid who got to be the class leader and found out it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be and wanted OUT!5/10/2009 9:56 pm (et) Susansweet: Good comparison Blue.
5/10/2009 9:56 pm (et) Cleburne Fan: And Sheridan wanted to hog all the glory to himself.5/10/2009 9:56 pm (et) Susansweet: After reading about the McCooks in here I have got to get a copy of the Fighting McCooks .
5/10/2009 9:57 pm (et) Widow: Didn't they all? Who wanted to share the glory?5/10/2009 9:57 pm (et) Susansweet: Gee Sheridan hog all the glory? Say it ain't so .

Title: A CANTILEVER RETAINING WALL SUPPORTED BY A BERM DURING TEMPORARY WORKS ACTIVITIES
Accession Number: 00643226
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Order URL: http://worldcat.org/isbn/0727719327 Abstract: The effectiveness of an earth berm in providing support to an embedded cantilever retaining wall during temporary works activities is investigated with reference to a particular case study. Finite element analyses were carried out to assess possible movements of the wall during and for some months after excavation. The effect of the assumed lateral stresses acting on the wall prior to excavation was investigated. The results of the finite element analyses are compared with those of a hand calculation based on a modified limiting stress field and a conservative assumption concerning the effectiveness of the berm, and with the wall movements actually measured. The site of the berm was on the new A55 North Wales Coast Road where it passes beneath a causeway on the east side of the Conwy estuary. The soil sections consisted of layers of silty sandy clay, dense gravel, Irish Sea Boulder Clay and glacial lake deposits. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 860485.

Marine One
Marine One | |
Marine One lifting off from Andrews AFB in 2005
Marine One is the call sign of any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States.[1] It usually denotes a helicopter operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1 "Nighthawks"), either the large VH-3D Sea King or the newer, smaller VH-60N "WhiteHawk". A Marine Corps aircraft carrying the Vice President has the call sign Marine Two.
The first use of helicopters for presidential transport was in 1957, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower traveled on a Bell UH-13J Sioux.[2] The President needed a quick way to reach his summer home in Pennsylvania, as Air Force One could land at neither the White House nor the summer home. Eisenhower instructed his staff to look into alternative modes of transportation and a Sikorsky UH-34 Seahorse helicopter was commissioned.[3] The early aircraft lacked the "creature comforts" found on its modern successors, such as air conditioning and toilets for in-flight use.
In 1958, the H-13 was replaced by the Sikorsky H-34, and in 1961 by the VH-3A. Not long after the mode of presidential transport was introduced, presidential aides asked the Marine Corps to look into the White House South Lawn as a helicopter landing zone.[3] Ample room was present, and the protocol was established.[3]
Until 1976, the Marine Corps shared the responsibility of helicopter transportation for the President with the United States Army. Army helicopters used the call sign Army One while the president was on board. The VH-3D replaced some VH-3As in 1978, and the remaining VH-3As were replaced by the VH-60N beginning in 1987.[4] Improvements were made to both types of helicopters since their introduction to both take advantage of technological developments as well as to meet new mission requirements. However, by about 2001, it was clear that so much extra weight had been added to the helicopters that mission capability was being reduced and few new improvements could be made.[5]
By 2009, there were 11 VH-3Ds and eight VH-60Ns in service as Presidential/VIP helicopters.[4] On 16 July 2009, Marine One flew with an all-female crew for the first time. This was also the final flight of Major Jennifer Grieves, who was the first woman pilot to fly the President.[6]
Marine One has not been the subject of any accident or attack through 2009.[7] However, in 2006, President George W. Bush boarded Marine One with his departing press secretary, and the ignition on Marine One's engines failed. The president was forced to exit the helicopter and depart the White House in an automobile.[8]
Development of replacement helicopter[edit]
The September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. led to widespread agreement that the Marine One helicopter fleet needed significant upgrades to its communication, transportation, and security systems. But these could not be made due to the weight already added to the aircraft.[5]
In April 2002, the Department of Defense (DOD) initiated the VXX program to develop a new presidential/VIP helicopter transportation system. The helicopter program was assigned to the U.S. Navy. A delivery date of 2011 was set.[9] The White House asked the Secretary of Defense to accelerate the development of the new aircraft in November 2002, and DOD said it would have a new aircraft ready by the end of 2008.[5] To do so, DOD asked companies bidding on the aircraft design to begin development and production at the same time.[9]
Specifications for the new aircraft were kept secret. Industry publications and testimony at congressional briefings revealed, however, that the helicopter was to be 64 feet (20 m) long, carry 14 passengers, be able to carry several thousand pounds of baggage and gear, and have a greater range than the VH-3D or VH-60N. The helicopter's defensive capabilities were to include a radar jamming and deception system to ward off anti-aircraft missiles, and hardening of key electronics against nuclear electromagnetic pulse. It also was to include an encrypted telecommunications system and videoconferencing.[8]
Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky Aircraft competed against one another for the contract. Lockheed partnered with AgustaWestland, a joint British and Italian aircraft company, and offered a version of the AgustaWestland AW101. Sikorsky proposed using its S-92.[10] The Navy awarded the contract to Lockheed Martin in January 2005,[11] to develop and build 28 helicopters.[10] The helicopter was designated VH-71 Kestrel.[5] Five of the initial less-sophisticated VH-71 version were due for delivery in 2010, with 23 of the upgraded version due for delivery in 2015. The goal was to retire all VH-3Ds and VH-60Ns along with the five initial VH-71s at that time, leaving the Marine One fleet with 23 helicopters.[8]
By March 2008, the $6.1 billion cost of the 28 helicopters had skyrocketed to $11.2 billion. Members of Congress were shocked to discover that each VH-71 would cost $400 million—more than a single Air Force One Boeing VC-25 airliner. Lockheed Martin blamed the Navy for the cost overruns, saying that more than 1,900 extra requirements were added to the project after the contract was signed. The Navy said no extra requirements were added. It blamed having to redesign the VH-71 to Navy standards, and an incomplete understanding by the Navy and Lockheed Martin on just how much retrofitting the civilian aircraft would need to meet the White House's specifications.[8]
In June 2009, the VH-71 program was canceled due to these cost overruns.[11] By this time, cost estimates had ballooned to more than $13 billion.[9] The Government Accountability Office issued a report in March 2011 that pointed to three sources for the cost overruns. First, asking for development at the same time as production led to extensive retrofitting of built models. Second, a full-scale review of the system's requirements did not occur until four months after production started. Only then was it discovered that the VH-71's design could not meet the system's needs. Third, DOD and the White House asked for excessive combat and communications capabilities.[9]
Shortly after the program's cancellation, however, the Marine Corps started the program again.[11] This time, instead of development and production running concurrently, the Corps created an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) which more clearly outlined the aircraft's requirements. DOD approved the ICD in August 2009, naming it the VXX Helicopter Replacement Program.[11] In February 2010, the Navy asked private industry for inputs for an Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) to meet the aircraft's mission needs. Among the options the Navy suggested were purchasing a single aircraft, but developing two versions on it. A second option raised by the AOA was to buy two different aircraft—one a "civilian" version with a bathroom, executive suite, and galley, and one a "military" version with complete command and control capabilities. The AOA drew interest from more than two companies, unlike the previous competition. These included Boeing, which told the press that either its CH-47 Chinook or Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey could meet the AOA's requirements. Since the AOA contemplated a much longer development and production process, the Navy said it intended to spend $500 million to keep the VH-3Ds and VH-60s flying.[12] The company also said it could adapt the VH-71, should the Navy and Marine Corps wish to proceed with that as the base aircraft.[13]
DOD waived the requirement that companies develop a prototype in July 2013. The department's analysis showed that the cost of producing a prototype was unlikely to generate any benefits. The department also said that it was proceeding with VXX development using an in-production aircraft with existing, proven systems.[14] A draft request for proposals was released on 23 November 2012.[15] By August 2013, all interested companies, including Northrop Grumman-AgustaWestland and Bell-Boeing, had withdrawn from the VXX bidding process except Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky had partnered with Lockheed Martin, and said it intended to use its S-92 as the base aircraft.[15] A new deadline of 2020 was established for the 23-helicopter fleet to be in operation.[15] On 7 May 2014 the Navy awarded Sikorsky Aircraft a $1.24 billion contract to build six presidential helicopters. A 21 helicopter fleet is anticipated by 2023.[16]
Current operations[edit]
Marine One is sometimes the preferred alternative to motorcades, which can be expensive and logistically difficult. The controlled environment of a helicopter is also felt to add a safety factor. Marine One is also used to transport senior Cabinet staff and foreign dignitaries. HMX-1 operates a total of 35 helicopters of four different types as of 2009.[17]
More than 800 Marines supervise the operation of the Marine One fleet, which is based in MCAF Quantico, Virginia, with an additional operating location at Naval Support Facility Anacostia in the District of Columbia, but is more often seen in action on the South Lawn of the White House or at Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility in Maryland. At Andrews, it is sometimes used to connect to Air Force One for longer journeys. Marine One is met on the ground by at least one Marine in full dress uniform (most often two with one acting as an armed guard). According to a story told by Bruce Babbitt, President Clinton, in his final days of office, while flying over and landing in a remote area near the Grand Canyon, found a Marine waiting on the rock ready to salute him.[18] Marine aviators flying Marine One do not wear regular flight suits during flights, but rather the Marine Blue Dress Charlie/Delta uniform.
As a security measure, Marine One always flies in a group with identical helicopters, sometimes as many as five. One helicopter carries the President, while the others serve as decoys. Upon take-off these helicopters begin to shift in formation to obscure the location of the President. This has been referred to as a presidential shell game.[19] Marine One is also equipped with standard military anti-missile countermeasures such as flares to counter heat-seeking missiles and chaff to counter radar-guided missiles, as well as AN/ALQ-144A infrared countermeasures.[20] To add to the security of Marine One, every member of HMX-1 is required to pass a Yankee White background check before touching any of the helicopters used for presidential travel.[21]
Marine One is transported via C-17 or C-5 military transport planes (as is the president's limousine) wherever the President travels, within the U.S. as well as overseas.[17] At a presidential inauguration, the Marines offer the outgoing President a final flight from the Capitol to Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility.

dc.description.abstract | This thesis was designed and written with advertising stakeholders in mind. The aim of my thesis is to illustrate how listening to and understanding the behavior and voices of consumers from the perspective of a trained anthropologist can improve advertising strategies. My instruments for conducting this research include an in-depth investigation of 28 consumers who use organizing devices (e.g. personal digital assistants and paper-based organizers) and a qualitative analysis of two print ads from Palm, Inc. In the first phase of my research, I employed ethnographic techniques and analyses to shed light on the usage-based benefits consumers realize by using organizers. In the second part of my research, I reveal my analysis and interpretations of print ads from Palm, one of the world's largest producers of organizers. My research culminates with the placement of the Palm advertisers' decisions in a critical framework. I do this by illuminating the consonance and contradiction between the ways in which I found consumers using organizers and the ways in which they are promoted in the advertising. Among other things, my research found informants using their organizers as a means to escape the tedium of commuting to and from work; I also found informants using their organizers to extend their memory capacity and create solutions to problems. In the end, my interpretations lead to pragmatic conclusions that potentially make advertising strategy more efficacious: Palm advertising should create scenes in which people are actively using their organizers to achieve benefits (e.g. memory, entertainment, etc.) they seek. | en_US |

Bis(pyrazolyl) chromium(III), nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes as ethylene oligomerization and polymerization catalysts
Miti, Nangamso Alicia
In search of developing new pyrazolyl complexes that can be used for ethylene transformation reactions, bis(pyrazolyl)alky carbonyl and amine complexes were prepared. The reaction between 3,5-dimethylpyrazole with alkyl-carbonyl chloride linkers in the presence of triethylamine as a base produced the ligands, 1,3-bis(3,5- dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-1-one (L1), 1,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-ethane- 1,2-dione (L2), 1,4-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-butane-1,4-dione (L3) and 1,6- bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-hexane-1,6-dione (L4) as white to brown crystalline solids in good yields. Ligand L5 was prepared by using bis(2-chloroethyl)-amine hydrochloride and 3,5- dimethylpyrazolevia via a phase-transfer reaction, while L6 was obtained using the bis(2-chloroethyl)-amine hydrochloride and 3,5-diphenypyrazole in the presence of triethylamine as a base. They were isolated in moderate yields, while their ditertiarypyrazole derivative was not obtained at all. All the ligands were characterized by a combination of 1H and 13C{1H}-NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. Ligands L1 and L4 were further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Ligands L1 and L6 were subsequently used to prepare their corresponding Pd, Ni and Cr complexes. L1 was reacted with [PdCl2(NCMe)2] to form a bidentate complex 1,3- bis-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-1-one palladium dichloride (1a) when the reaction was heated at 80 oC, while a tridentate complex 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol- 1-yl)-propan-1-one palladium chloride (1b) was obtained when the reaction was refluxed. 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-1-one nickel(II) bromide (2) was obtained when NiBr2 was reacted with L1 at room temperature while the reaction between L1 and [CrCl3(THF)3] gave 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-1-one chromium(III) chloride (3). Ligand L6 was reacted with the same metal salts to give bis[2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol- 1-yl)-ethyl] amine palladium(II) chloride (4), bis[2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-ethyl] amine nickel(II) chloride (5) and bis[2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-ethyl] amine chromium(III) chloride (6). All the complexes were characterized by the already mentioned characterization techniques and X-ray analysis was performed for 1b and 4. Ethylene transformation reactions were performed with complexes 1a, 2, 3, 5 and 6, and complexes 1a and 4 were not used because of their geometrical structures, which prevented them to be active for such reactions. Using MMAO and EtAlCl2 as cocatalysts complexes 1a and 3 showed no activity, however complexes 2 and 6 were active. Complex 2 was used with MMAO and showed no activity, while with EtAlCl2 oligomers were produced. Gas-chromatography analysis of the products showed that C6-C14+ oligomers were obtained. Temperature variation reactions performed under standard conditions of 20 bar ethylene pressure and 200 equivalents of EtAlCl2 in one hour showed that certain oligomers were not favoured under certain temperatures. Ethylene reactions with complex 6 and EtAlCl2 did not form any product but with MMAO polymer material was obtained. Analysis of the polymer by differential scanning calometry proved that the product was high density polyethylene. Studies of temperature, co-catalyst and pressure variations were performed. As expected for temperature studies the catalyst decomposed at high temperatures (above 40 oC), while for co-catalyst studies 3000 equivalents of MMAO gave the lowest TON. Pressure variations studies showed that an increase in ethylene pressure also increased the TON, but above 30 bar the activity became stable.

General Board / Re: Does anyone know any good schools for International Business Law?Im an undergrad
« on: October 05, 2005, 09:56:23 AM »International Business Law is what I want to be under, but I'm not sure which schools have that specialty. I'm trying to figure out if there is a list or something. I havne't had much luck. Can someone help me? Thanks
LOL, why yes there is probably a 'list or something'. If there isn't one written yet, perhaps I could assign someone to make one.

1. Aerial eruption
On Aug. 15, NASA's Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite caught a crystal-clear image of a small ash plume emanating from a tiny volcanic Indonesian island.
The volcano, called Batu Tara, is located on the island of Pulau Komba, and has been experiencing frequent, mild eruptions since mid-2006, according to a NASA release.
2. Fly away free
Seven of California's endangered light-footed clapper rails that were bred by the San Diego Zoo were released into the wild this week. The marsh birds added to a banner year for the species.
The seven birds were hatched at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Living Coast Discovery Centre. They were released at the 915-acre San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve on Aug. 16.
3. Ready, aim, rain - again
Typhoon Kai-tak, which strengthened from its former tropical storm status, was spotted by a NASA satellite today (Aug. 16) as it prepares to make landfall along the China-Vietnam border.
The typhoon is currently about 155 nautical miles south of Hong Kong and is moving to the west-northwest, which is expected to take it over China's Leizhou Bandao peninsula and northern Vietnam on Aug. 17 and 18, according to the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC).
4. Saharan dust
Astronauts sailing around the Earth aboard the International Space Station recently spotted a dull haze blanketing the skies over the Caribbean - dust from Africa's vast Sahara Desert that had blown all the way across the Atlantic Ocean.
The dust likely originated some 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometres) to the east, in the dry reaches of northern Mali, according to NASA figures, although some satellite data suggest the dust can come from as far east as Chad or Sudan.
5. What's up, doc?
A ghost shark. In the place of teeth, the fish have wide bony plates, lending them a goofy mouth shape that resembles that of a bucktoothed rabbit.
6. Battered by wind
NASA's Terra satellite passed over Tropical Storm Gordon, the most recently formed storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, yesterday (Aug. 16) and saw that atmospheric wind patterns were battering the storm.
Gordon intensified into a tropical storm early yesterday morning and has strengthened since then. The latest update from the U.S. National Hurricane Centre (NHC) put Gordon's maximum sustained winds at 65 mph (100 kph).

Giants crushed as Kennedy kicks 11 goals
West Coast smashes the GWS Giants by 111 points as key forward Josh Kennedy boots 11 goals.

Josh Kennedy ended his and West Coast's goalkicking woes in style on Sunday in the Eagles' bullying 111-point win over Greater Western Sydney.
Kennedy booted 11 goals straight in the 30.8 (188) to 12.5 (77) victory at Patersons Stadium, a week after West Coast's goalkicking ability was seriously questioned.
Ten and counting: West Coast's Josh Kennedy has good reason to smile after kicking his 10th goal against the Giants on Sunday. He finished with 11 as the Eagles won by 111 points. Photo: Getty Images
It is the first time the Eagles have kicked 30 goals in a game since joining the competition in 1987 and it is their highest score at Patersons Stadium.
Kennedy's haul moved him from 17th in the race for the Coleman Medal to second, just one goal behind Port Adelaide's Jay Schulz.
But the win could be tainted as forward Mark LeCras was reported for a high bump on Will Hoskin-Elliott in the first quarter.
LeCras joins the Western Bulldogs' Liam Jones, Fremantle's Paul Duffield and Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead who will have nervous waits before the match review panel releases its round eight findings.
West Coach coach Adam Simpson would have every right to be furious should LeCras be suspended, as Sunday was his return game after missing four games with a broken arm. He is crucial to West Coast's chances against Collingwood and North Melbourne in its next two outings after the bye.
After the Jack Viney incident highlighted the bump rule for most of last week, there is unlikely to be any sympathy from the review panel for any player who is cited for a head-high bump now.
The Giants were outplayed by a West Coast side desperate to get its season back on track after four consecutive losses. They showed that without Jeremy Cameron, their forward line has little venom.
Cameron has kicked 18 goals this season, or nearly 20 per cent of the Giants score, but missed the clash because of his new artificial eardrum implant.
Jonathon Patton was blanketed by Eric Mackenzie, leaving the Giants with few marking options in attack. They took just seven marks inside 50 to the Eagles' 21.
Adam Tomlinson was the only Giant to take a mark within goalkicking distance in the first half – and he did it twice.
But the issues for the Giants started long before the goal square.
Even if they had three in-form tall marking forwards, they would have struggled to kick a winning score, because most of the game was played in West Coast's half of the ground.
Such was the dominance of the West Coast midfield that the Giants went inside 50 just 27 times (to West Coast's 67), by far their worst effort for the season. The tone of the game was set in the first quarter when they managed just five entries to the Eagles' 18.
The weight of possessions coming from Eagles Matt Priddis, Matt Rosa, Scott Selwood, Luke Shuey, Chris Masten and Elliott Yeo was too much for the Giants. Only captain Callan Ward, Toby Greene and Rhys Palmer managed more than 23 possessions.
It didn't help that they lost defender Nick Haynes after just two minutes with an ankle injury.
It didn't hurt the Eagles forwards, though.
West Coast's goalkicking has been under scrutiny in the past three weeks with poor conversion potentially costing it three victories. Two quarters of returns of 1.8 hadn't helped its cause. But Sunday's 30.8 was outstanding, especially Kennedy, who had only kicked 10 goals once before in his previous 127 games – against the Western Bulldogs in round nine 2011 when he managed 10.3.
The Eagles kicked 10 goals straight in the third term to take the margin to 74 points – which already beat Greater Western Sydney's previous biggest loss of this season.

Fifteen, fearful about food, and reaching out | related questions Related QuestionsOriginally Published: April 8, 2005 |
Share this |
I am a fifteen-year-old female. I am in desperate need of some advice as to what I should be eating every day. I am too scared to eat too much or the wrong things so I end up practically starving myself. Do you have any tips on the minimum I should be eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and if so, what that could include? I have found it really difficult to find recommended eating plans that are not just food guide pyramids — I need something more specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Writing to Alice is a brave first step toward changing your situation. It seems as if your desire to eat more healthfully has become dangerously restrictive. If you find a nutritionist through your school or through your family health care provider or pediatrician, you can make an appointment with her/him to discuss not only your eagerness to eat well, but also your tendency to "practically starve" yourself. If you explain that this is due to your fear of eating too much or of eating the wrong things, it will help the health care practitioner or nutritionist know more about how to work with you, to help you get the support you need to make the choices essential to your health.
The nutritionist can talk with you about your particular eating preferences, patterns, and concerns. S/he can also help you develop a healthy eating plan to get you back on track. A part of the healing is for you to see health care providers who can evaluate your current health status, and who can better manage and follow your progress.
Other people have been in this position, having issues with eating and wanting to learn to make healthier choices. Many have found ways to manage their fears, concerns, and eating patterns to live a healthier life. This step-by-step process and writing to Go Ask Alice! are huge steps toward better health.
If you would like more information on where to seek help, you can visit the National Eating Disorders Association website. Carolyn Costin's book, The Eating Disorder Sourcebook: A Comprehensive Guide to the Causes, Treatments, and Prevention of Eating Disorders, also has information that could address your concerns.
