Feedback and Advice on turning up wind in a big gale
Wow, what a story; sounds familiar. Here is my review and advice on how to turn from down wind, to up wind in high winds.
* Absolutely get a Jib for your boat. Your boat was made to sail with two sails. When the Jib is not there, you have severely limited your ability to maintain control, especially when tacking up wind.
* Absolutely be ready to Reef the mainsail at 1st warning of impending trouble; don't wait. Start up the outboard, point the boat straight up wind; this will enable you best stability during the Reefing process.
* When caught in a storm down wind like you were, stay with the devil you know, and absolutely do not be tempted to turn the boat such that a big swell can easily roll your boat.
* Now for the big question: how to turn the sailboat around from downwind to some up wind, such that you have an extremely better chance of surviving the storm: As you know, any attempt to turn the sailboat around from downwind toward upwind in high winds, will absolutely capsize the sailboat.
Follow this technique in high winds, before the sea becomes out of control:
1.) Let the Jib out such that it effectively in out of the game
2.) Pull the mainsail in to slow the boat as much as possible. Be careful at all times to stay on a heading away from dead down wind.
3.) Begin the turn process, let the mainsail out all the way, and reduce the centerboard to 30% or less effectiveness. The boat will slide instead of capsize, at the same time, it will begin to turn the nose toward up wind. Like all maneuvers, you will need to manage the Tiller, Centerboard, Mainsail.... to get the attitude of the sailboat to just begin to point upwind.
4.) At the earliest point of being upwind, begin to fully engage the Centerboard to gain forward momentum and slow/stop the slide
5.) As the sail boat begins to reach upwind attitude, momentum is moving forward and normal control is restored, engage the Jib. If you engage the Jib too early, the slide will be very pronounced, and the bringing the nose into upwind attitude will be very difficult.
6.) General advice/warning: you will need to manage the slide, turn, heel, and engage the center board slowly (but not too slow) such that you don't bend/break the centerboard. Careful not to engage the centerboard to quickly, especially if there is a significant slide in progress. You don't want to bend/break the Centerboard. At the same time, not reducing the Centerboard enough, could result in over whelming heeling and you could capsize. If you capsize, it is a result of too much Centerboard, and turning too quickly (assuming a huge wave does not contribute to the rollover).
Bottom Line: your objective is to put the nose of the sailboat, such that sailing upwind can begin immediately.

Proposes to set up a vermicompost unit and a biomethanation plant
Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) is laying emphasis on green technology to process the garbage generated in the city.
The CMC is planning to install a vermicompost plant and a biomethanation plant to process biodegradable waste. The vermicompost plant will have a capacity to process four tonnes per day, and the capacity of the biomethanation plant will be two tonnes per day.
Udupi city generates around 58 tonnes of garbage per day. Presently this garbage is being processed at the Solid Waste Management Plant located on 22 acres of land in Alevoor village near the city. The CMC would be taking up a pilot project of waste segregation at source in 3,000 houses in a monthThe vermicompost plant will be set up on 10 cents of land at the Alevoor Solid Waste Management Plant. According to CMC Environment Engineer M.K. Subrahmanya, the vermicompost plant will have two sheds – one with 24 pits and the other with 21 pits. Four tonnes of biodegradable waste would be put in a pit every day. "Farmers and people with gardens could use this vermicompost. We expect to make Rs. 48,000 per day by selling the vermicompost," he said.
The vermicompost plant is estimated to cost Rs. 29 lakh and is expected to come up in six months. A minimum of two labourers would be required to look after the plant.
The biomethanation plant will be established on five cents of land at Beedinagudde here and is estimated to cost Rs. 33 lakh.
Here two tonnes of biodegradable waste would be converted into slurry, which would then be fed into the digester of the biomethanation plant. Mr. Subrahmanya said the waste would decompose in two days and start emitting methane. This methane would be passed into a generator, which will produce 15 KV of power per day. A separate power line will be drawn from this generator and the power generated would be used to light 100 street lamps. In addition, the compost generated from his plant could also be sold.
Here the CMC expects to make Rs. 2 lakh per year by selling the compost and also save on electricity bill. "We are yet to get technical sanction from the State government for this plant. It may take a minimum of one year for this plant to come up," Mr. Subrahmanya said.
"Besides utilising waste in an eco-friendly manner, we want to use green technology to promote a clean environment," said CMC Commissioner Gokuldas Nayak.

Punishing the Wrong People
A federal magistrate in Georgia sentenced eleven people to prison for up to six months last week for crossing the line onto a military base in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience last fall.
In protest against the School of the Americas--a US-run training facility for Latin American soldiers that has earned a reputation for teaching torture, coercion and execution tactics--the eleven demonstrators entered the grounds of Fort Benning on November 21, in some cases by scaling a barbed-wire fence at the main gate. The sentences are not unlike those doled out to past SOA protesters, but they are, viewed from a broader perspective, strikingly harsh and excessive, especially in a year in which the use of torture has generated headlines.
"The severity of the sentences is so far out of proportion to the actions taken," said William Quigley, a lawyer with the SOA Watch legal collective and a professor at the Loyola New Orleans School of Law. Referring to one particular case that resulted in a six-month prison sentence, he added, "If this same act happened in 99 percent of the federal districts throughout the United States, the sentence would have been a small fine or some community service."
Indeed, as Quigley argued in court on behalf of several SOA protesters, similar actions in other regions of the country have led to far less extreme sentences. In cases stemming from nonviolent demonstrations at military bases from Puerto Rico to California, sentences have included $10 fines, six months of unsupervised probation, 100 hours of community service and thirty days in prison. But the sentences handed down in the cases of the SOA protesters of 2004, in keeping with a trend that dates back several years, were markedly different than those others. In all, two protesters received six months in prison, two others four months and seven more three months; most of those eleven also wound up with fines of $500. (Three additional protesters, two of whom were minors, received probation or deferred sentences.)
Roy Bourgeois, the Catholic priest who founded SOA Watch in 1990 and has spent a combined four years in prison for acts of nonviolent civil disobedience, called the harshness of the sentences "a grave injustice." But he added that the steep prison terms would not, by any means, silence the voices of those who took a stand against the SOA--which was renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in 2001. "When they send us to prison, they cannot silence us," he said. "We have discovered, as so many people before us who have inspired us discovered, that the truth cannot be silenced."
When Lil Mattingly, a 63-year-old Maryknoll sister, crossed the line at Fort Benning in November, she too held the belief that no prison sentence would silence her voice. "Once people hear about this issue, they're outraged," she said, "so I really believe in raising awareness about it." Despite being sentenced last week to six months in prison, she has continued to speak out against the SOA. "For me," she said, reflecting on her sentence, which will likely begin next month, "this is an outlet to express my outrage in a nonviolent, peaceful way."
Beyond her opposition to the SOA as an institution, Mattingly has a very personal connection to the issue. She was friends with the four churchwomen who were raped and murdered by SOA graduates in El Salvador in 1980, and she spent more than twenty years living and working in Bolivia and Nicaragua, both of which have experienced barbarity at the hands of US-trained paramilitary forces over the years. "We have tried not to focus just on our sisters," she said, referring to the widely known churchwomen killed in El Salvador, two of whom were Maryknoll sisters. "Because unfortunately, we know that it's the same for so many families throughout Central America."
Citing a number of other human rights atrocities committed by SOA graduates over the years, several of the protesters bound for prison said that their stiff sentences simply illustrated a glaring contradiction. "Any system that puts people like [my fellow protesters and me] in prison while war criminals have their pictures hanging on the Wall of Fame at the SOA is just unacceptable," said Brian DeRouen, a 27-year-old graduate student at the University of Dayton, who is facing four months in prison for his actions at Fort Benning in November.
Despite complaints about the system and the sentences, the movement to close the SOA--emboldened by its largest demonstration in history in 2004--has shown no signs of letting up. "We embrace the sentences as humble acts of solidarity with the victims of the School of the Americas and US foreign policy," said Bourgeois. "And in a way, those going to prison now will once again inspire more people to join the movement."
And so the campaign to close the SOA will press on, and in all likelihood continue to grow. But the excessive prison sentences handed down last week in Georgia highlight the forces of opposition that SOA protesters face as they work to shut down the decades-old military institution. As Quigley, the SOA Watch lawyer, said, "The people who taught the torture don't even go to court, but the peacemakers are sent to prison."

- Jan. 17, 2001: Four newspaper columnists discuss Ashcroft.
- Jan. 16, 2001: Two former Justice Department nominees on the Ashcroft case
JIM LEHRER: Now, some "what's up" political analysis from Shields and Gigot; syndicated columnist Mark Shields, Wall Street Journal columnist Paul Gigot. The Ashcroft nomination and now confirmation; what should all of the players, each in his or her own way, take away from the experience, Paul?
PAUL GIGOT: Well, John Ashcroft survived. Now he gets the job. President Bush got his nominee through, and I think can take some satisfaction in that, and will get some support from the right from his base supporters for sticking by a tough nomination makes up a little bit for the Linda Chavez doubts that crept up after she was pulled or she pulled herself with some advice and consent from other people at the time. I think the Senate Democrats have done a wonderful job of spinning 42 votes into victory. I always thought it took 50 or 51 to beat them but they're saying this is a warning shot. I don't know. I don't think this changes anything. I doubt that Senate Democrats would not have opposed say Antonin Scalia for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with any less ferocity because of this. I think not much has changed on that point of view.
JIM LEHRER: Not much has changed?
MARK SHIELDS: I think a lot has changed, Jim. I think Paul is right, obviously that John Ashcroft becomes Attorney General and George Bush gets the cabinet he wanted, which most presidents do. John Ashcroft, understand this, was a personally popular, certainly not an unpopular member of the institution, unlike the last Senate rejection with John Tower in 1989 for Secretary of Defense. But I think –
JIM LEHRER: Meaning that Tower was not that popular within the Senate among his colleagues.
MARK SHIELDS: He really wasn't among his colleagues there, so that there wasn't that reservoir of feeling and a united Republican Party obviously for the new President on this one. But I think it is – I think it's just a preliminary of what you can expect on the fight over Supreme Court nomination, and all reports in Washington are that there is going to be a vacancy very soon because of a voluntary retirement. And, secondly, Jim, I think more than anything else, Ashcroft proved, and I thought the Republicans were just absolutely open about this, that they brought out this red herring about his religion – that his religion was somehow a bar — I think that is a total farce. Mark Rascot who was in the running to be Attorney General is a practicing Catholic. It was not a factor. He is a conservative. Jack Danforth is an Episcopal priest. It was what John Ashcroft had stood for and fought for and what in conscience he believed that the doubts were expressed about him. They were public policy questions, not about personal convictions or personal faith. It is a little bit– the question is could John Ashcroft, and I think it is a legitimate one, a fair one– enforce laws that he fought tooth and toenail to stop and to oppose. It is a little bit like a liberal President appointing Gandhi as Secretary of Defense. You would really want to know if he was in favor of a larger Marine Corps.
JIM LEHRER: Paul, the point that you said, this doesn't change anything….
PAUL GIGOT: In terms of the Supreme Court.
JIM LEHRER: The Supreme Court. Well, Tom Daschle said the other night on this program that he was very strong about it, that he wanted the message to get to President Bush that if somebody with similar views to Ashcroft is nominated for the Supreme Court, they have enough votes and are willing to use them to filibuster such a thing, and that-I mean, is that not a message that can be taken from this?
PAUL GIGOT: I had no doubt that they would have done that anyway if it were the wrong nominee. I think that was a foregone conclusion with the closeness of the election, with the division that the election showed about the culture, Jim. I mean the division… what this election showed, the country is divided beside culture. The economic divisions are not as severe as they once were 20 or 30 years ago. The divisions over entitlements even are not as great as they were twenty or thirty years ago. The divisions are sharpest over the state of the culture, morality, religious belief — that sort of thing. That's what the Ashcroft fight exhibited. And if you look at the eight Democrats who voted for Ashcroft — six of them came from states that George W. Bush carried, and two of them from North Dakota. Now, Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad, in particular, are very partisan Democrats for the most part, and usually reliable votes when the rest of the Senate lines up…the rest of the Senate Democrats line up. Bush carried North Dakota 66-33. That obviously was a factor in their thinking.
JIM LEHRER: Does the Ashcroft fight leave any scars that are beyond possible Supreme Court nominations and this new– the new climate between the President and the Democrats and the Congress generally?
JIM LEHRER: Mark, what about the Democrats and some of the interest groups who were really disappointed that there was no filibuster on this; that Ted Kennedy pretty much got talked out of doing that, et cetera. Could this turn out to be a mistake for the Democrats not to have gone all the way?
MARK SHIELDS: I don't think so because I don't think even if they had gone all the way, I don't think they would have switched the Republicans. I mean, once they had the 50 Republicans, and you had Zell Miller, the Senator from Georgia, and Russ Feingold, there was– both Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad are very close to Tom Daschle. They might have been able to bring them back in, but I don't think the votes, the majority votes were there to stop them. I think what was fascinating about the hearings and nobody commented on, first what he wasn't asked about – I mean, eight years ago Bill Clinton was pilloried and banged around for ducking service in Vietnam, and boy, just being an absolute lack of a patriot, maybe even a little soft on America. John Ashcroft sat there with seven different student deferments and some that were really just kind of a stretch. Nobody asked about why — because the members of the Senate themselves had exactly the same situation. They had just as many deferments in most cases, with the exception of Kennedy and a couple of others. The other was the money. John Ashcroft used soft money, had gone right up to the edge of the law just like virtually everybody does, and nobody asked about it. Why? Because in their own campaigns, they're using soft money as well.
PAUL GIGOT: Mark, it is Attorney General, not brigadier general. I don't know that military service is required to be Attorney General before. I want to answer your question, though, about the Democrats. I think there were some– a lot of the liberal interest groups in this case made Democrats from some of the Bush states pretty uncomfortable with their votes. I don't think that Jean Carnahan from Missouri is real thrilled with having had to cast this vote against John Ashcroft. The only reason she has this seat is because her husband died and Ashcroft was graceful enough not to contest the result on her appointment when he could have – and he didn't. And her act now to oppose him is not going to help her in Missouri.
MARK SHIELDS: Quickly, John Ashcroft lost to Jean Carnahan by 51,000 votes. Nobody has in the history of the United States….
PAUL GIGOT: Lost to the deceased husband.
MARK SHIELDS: Nobody has challenged a result in an election by 51,000 votes. There has never been a recount – overturn or anything of the sort. He did – I mean, necessity made him very, very graceful and he was, and gracious. Secondly when you talk about observing the laws of the country, the Republicans cheered at their convention in 1992 when they said Bill Clinton sat in the dormitory at Cambridge instead of serving his country. John Ashcroft said I would have gone if I was called and yet every chance he denied the chance to accept the call.
PAUL GIGOT: I don't think so, at least as I've been able to get from the White House, they're determined not to let that happen. I think if it… if he had been defeated, that might have been the case but as long as they thought they were going to win, they're very much in the mood to move on because they think they have bigger issues to tackle and they're going to need some Democratic votes.
JIM LEHRER: In a word do you agree?
MARK SHIELDS: I agree Jim. When the President met this week with the Congressional Black Caucus as part of his charm offensive or personal diplomacy, he was a little bit surprised with the intensity with which they brought up Ashcroft; that this was so important. It is very much there.
JIM LEHRER: Terry McAuliffe, according to all reports, is tomorrow going to be elected the new chairman of the Democratic Party; is a great fund-raiser; a great friend of President Clinton. What do you think?
MARK SHIELDS: Well, I think Terry McAuliffe is the symptom rather than the cause. There was a time when national chairs of the two parties were people like Bob Dole and George Bush and Larry O'Brien, and Paul Kirk and Bob Strauss, and kind of leading politicians, major figures who were major spokesmen for their party, who could stand up for their party and they organized their party and they went out and recruited candidates. You want to know what politics is about now? It's about raising money. I mean, Jim Nicholson, whom I like very much, the Republican chairman, I don't think he was ever on "Meet the Press" –maybe he was, speaking for his party. He was a fund-raiser. Terry McAuliffe is a fund-raiser. That's what it has come. Jim, the time was when you're going to run for Congress, you'd come here, they'd say, Jim what are your credentials? What's your background? Who is supporting you? How are you going to win this race? There's only question that's asked now -can you get a million dollars.
PAUL GIGOT: He has a point. The money is important for McAuliffe. That's how he has made his reputation in politics. But there's one other thing that McAuliffe represents and that is former President Bill Clinton and now Senator Hillary Clinton, he really is I think is their pick, their representative on their committee. He was put on their, he requested it but they really worked it – overruling the current Jo Andrew, who wanted to re-up and couldn't. And there is no question. I think he is an illustration of their continuing influence within the Democratic Party, maybe even– I mean really the most prominent Democrats and the continuing desire to play that role and to set the agenda within the party.
JIM LEHRER: Okay. We have to leave it there. Thank you both.

As we all know by now, on June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling generally upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). For many hospitals, the ruling will be good news. Apart from the societal benefit of having a greater percentage of the nation's population covered by insurance, the ruling likely will result in a higher percentage of patients treated at our hospitals having the means to pay for that care, either through private insurance or through Medicaid. The picture, however, is not entirely rosy, particularly for hospitals that have a high population of low-income individuals for which they receive Medicaid or Medicare disproportionate share (DSH) payments.
Under the ACA, beginning in 2014, Medicare is to start reducing DSH expenditures by $22 billion dollars over a ten year period. These cuts will eventually reduce each hospital's current Medicare DSH payments by 75%. Similarly, the statute reduces Medicaid DSH payments by $14 billion dollars over ten years beginning in fiscal year 2014. One operating presumption supporting these cuts was that hospitals would see an increase in their number of insured patients – patients insured through the greater availability of insurance and through Medicaid expansion – and that these newly insured individuals would reduce the need for the DSH payments. For certain hospitals in certain regions, however, that presumption may not fit.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Norman L. Meyer, MD, PhD (University of Tennessee at Memphis College of Medicine)
Description: With this fifth edition classic text the editor attempts to retain the character of the first edition published 39 years ago with emphasis on clinical applicability. Along these lines, he has shortened the current volume from the previous 78 chapters to 56 to eliminate subjects with limited clinical relevance.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a source of extensive and current knowledge about common medical complications of pregnancy in addition to uncommon but important complications encountered in medical practice. Since many topics covered in this volume are not addressed in similar works, this book is a unique reference. Since the editor has assembled a diverse group of authorities who are experts on a wide range of common and uncommon pregnancy complications, the objectives are well met.
Audience: The editor targets a vast audience of obstetricians, perinatologists, internists, and family physicians who render medical care to pregnant women. These target groups should find this to be a valuable reference edition. To effect these ends, the editor has assembled nationally and internationally known contributors who assimilate a wide range of knowledge.
Features: In addition to the common complications of pregnancy, the contributors to this edition address many uncommon conditions that are encountered in pregnancies. Chapters devoted to such topics as ethics and domestic violence are not usually found in similar reference works. Medical complications are well covered; and subjects such as headache, dental disease, ocular conditions, and ENT disorders give this volume a unique place among reference works.
Assessment: This is an up-to-date reference work which is a comprehensive review of common and uncommon conditions complicating pregnancy. The editor has assembled a number of authorities who provide current information on a vast range of subjects. Although other reference works are available, this contemporary volume contains coverage of subjects not typically found.

After the release of Pradeep Sarkar's Mardaani last week Rani Mukherjee has been heard making a fervent plea for the re-certification the film. Rani wants the film's A Certificate to be modified to UA so that children would be able to see and understand the grim reality of child trafficking. Further probing reveals that although there is no provision for a film to be re-certified unless it's going from the cinema to another medium such as television, the Censor Board Of Film Certification(CBFC) is ready to allow Rani's film a second dekko.
Says Leela Samson, the chairperson of the CBFC the "A larger bench will see it and whatever their decision is, will hold and hopefully the producer will be happy with that."
If Rani really takes her film back to the censor board it would set a new precedent for those producers who feel their films got a a raw deal. Says a source, "There are many producers who think their films were unfairly certified in recent months. If Mardaani goes back for certification these disgruntled filmmakers would also seek a fresh certification."

Andy Glaser, the former Heineken and Moet Hennessy marketer who is now chief executive officer at Purity Vodka, is hunting Grey Goose with new ads. Digital and print ads cheekily recommend Grey Goose for those who like cranberry juice in their vodka, explaining that Purity is best enjoyed "straight up or on the rocks." Marketing of Purity will rely upon its craft origins in Sweden and the skills of Master Blender Thomas Kuuttanen, and not on the exotic-flavors trend, which Glaser in this interview calls a "bubble [that's] going to burst."

Nearly 3 million people in resource-poor countries receive antiretrovirals for the treatment of HIV/AIDS, yet millions more require treatment. Key barriers to treatment scale up are shortages of trained health care workers, and challenges integrating HIV/AIDS care with primary care.
The research
PALM PLUS (Practical Approach to Lung Health and HIV/AIDS in Malawi) is an intervention designed to simplify and integrate existing Malawian national guidelines into a single, simple, user-friendly guideline for mid-level health care workers. Training utilizes a peer-to-peer educational outreach approach. Research is being undertaken to evaluate this intervention to generate evidence that will guide future decision-making for consideration of roll out in Malawi. The research consists of a cluster randomized trial in 30 public health centres in Zomba District that measures the effect of the intervention on staff satisfaction and retention, quality of patient care, and costs through quantitative, qualitative and health economics methods.
Results and outcomes
In the first phase of qualitative inquiry respondents from intervention sites demonstrated in-depth knowledge of PALM PLUS compared to those from control sites. Participants in intervention sites felt that the PALM PLUS tool empowered them to provide better health services to patients. Interim staff retention data shows that there were, on average, 3 to 4 staff departing from the control and intervention sites per month. Additional qualitative, quantitative and economic analyses are planned.
The partnership
Dignitas International and the Knowledge Translation Unit at the University of Cape Town Lung Institute have led the adaptation and development of the PALM PLUS intervention, using experience gained through the implementation of the South African precursor, PALSA PLUS. The Malawian partners, REACH Trust and the Research Unit at the Ministry of Health, have led the qualitative and economic evaluations. Dignitas and Ministry of Health have facilitated interaction with implementers and policy-makers.
Challenges and successes
This initiative is an example of South-South knowledge translation between South Africa and Malawi, mediated by a Canadian academic-NGO hybrid. Our success in developing and rolling out PALM PLUS in Malawi suggests that it is possible to adapt and implement this intervention for use in other resource-limited settings.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is an affordable Android Lollipop tablet that makes some big compromises for its low price.
The $180 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a fine choice for a budget tablet, but it's ultimately bested by great older devices, and new slates that are cheaper still.
The LG 55EC9300 lives up to the promise of OLED with the best picture quality of any TV we've ever reviewed.
An exceptional screen and a long list of software goodies make the Galaxy Tab S Samsung's best tablet to date and our top Android choice for an entertainment slate.
The XYZprinting Da Vinci Jr. 3D Printer's low cost and high ease of use make it an ideal entry-level 3D printer for anyone.
The HTC Desire 510 doesn't have the specs to excite committed tech fans, but it handles the basics well, has 4G LTE for superfast data speeds, and it doesn't cost the earth.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
Powered by Tizen, not Android, Samsung's Z1 smartphone comes with a bargain-basement price and is heading for developing countries.
Huawei's TalkBand N1 Bluetooth earbuds, shown here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, play music with onboard storage and have a step counter.
Pricing not available
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.

I came in here loaded for Bear to trash this thread.
Unfortunately your post was well thought out and no bashing from me will happen!
While I do agree I would rather have a top 10 D-man than top 10 goalie, Howard was the reason this team went any where last season. (Well Hank turning it on at the end helped a lot too)
He was rock solid in the post season giving up a few bad goals, but saving the team's collective bacon more often than giving up a softie.
For me it would have to be a legitimate top 10 D-man, but none of them are really available, Weber, Doughty, Suter, Pietrangelo (I was hoping his issues in STL this year and the Wings being in the East would have facilitated the wings poaching him), even if you wanted to go for a more offensive d-man like Subban or Karlsson, it will take Howard and a lot more.
I think the offseason is really the only time you can get a fair deal for a D-man, catch them in contract dispute or wanting to play for a contender. Mid season everyone remembers how important a Defensive Stud is, and no one wants to part with them.
In the Offseason everyone is talking about forwards.
I really hoped the Wings would have swung something like Mule for Pietrangelo. It would have been a complete fleecing by the Wings, because to me he is one of the top D-men in the league.
I guess my point to all of this, if your netminder is not in the top 5, he just isn't going to get you a lot. Look at the Schneider to NJ deal, 9th overall pick, no roster player, no elite prospect.
Just a rubber bullet and a shot in the dark. Don't get me wrong a top 10 pick is better than 25th, but still that is not an elite player they got back.

Anything that involves Mule would be OK with me, but I think that ship has sailed!

I didn't say offensively skilled!
They both play a very similar style of game, neither is a stay at home d-man, so yes Quincey is too offensive minded to be paired with Smith!
Posted by Opie
on 06 January 2014 - 03:32 PM
I still think most of Smith's issue are with who he is paired with.
Pair him with Dekeyser and you will see a different player.
Quincey is too offensive minded to play with Smith, hell Lashoff would be a better pairing for Smith.
EDIT: Quincey smith over two complete wastes of roster space.

[Sarcasm] I can not believe this team is not going undefeated GRRRRRRRRR [/sarcasm]
Seriously, it is one game against the Coyotes, after just beating arguably the best team in this infant season.
Bab's overrated?????? It is hard to be overrated when you are in fact one of, if not, the best coach in the sport.
All coaches make decisions that work or don't and judging them purely in hindsight is great for you reactionary, knee jerk, arm chair quarterback post, but in real life, it was one game of 82. Monster has not proven he can take the reigns over, Jimmy has proven he is the netminder of the future, you put him back in because if you don't how else does he go from cold to warm to hot?
Much like a call to the Bullpen in baseball, when the player fails to perform it was a bad coaching decision, the player performs and it is his success, not the coach.
Oh we beat the Avs with Monster in net and Sammy in the box, lets play the entire rest of the season that way, I mean hey it worked for one game why not all of them, amiright!

To me, Brouwer went out of his way to hit Stepan, jumping over his stick sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
Where Brouwer was looking if not at Stepan I have no idea and if he couldn't see Stepan he needs his eyes checked.
Stepan had no idea Brouwer was any where near him.

When did Pronger ever have a sub-par D Partner, or someone who wasn't at least as good as he was?
In ANA it was Rob N, STL it was MacInis.
The man was good don't get me wrong, I would have loved him paired with Lids, however to credit him with making the teams he was on great is misleading in my opinion.

You people make me chuckle.
How many years left do Sammy, Bert, Alfie, and Cleary ACTUALLY have left on their contracts?
Next year you will be complaining that all we have left is youngsters and why didn't Holland go out and sign more vets.
Just like we all knew (once the Perfect Human retired) last year was a bridge year, this year is sort of a wait for contracts to expire year.
Next year there will be plenty of room for Tatar and Nyquist, they just need to exhibit some patience.
In the case of Tatar I know that has got to suck, but he will be better for it in the long run, and even though the Wings make it tough for prospects to crack the line up, look what happens when they do, unless they demand a ton of cash they are kept around for a long time. And in most cases end up with multiple chances at the cup.

When Yzerman was being protected by these players did he know then what he knows now?
Maybe the new revelations about concussions in sport have changed his mind.
Maybe now that he is a dad his mind has changed.
None of you changed your mind after thinking one way for 20+ years, then discovered/learned something you previously were unaware of?
Do you think maybe the research and studies down on CTE and concussions have changed his mind?
For instance players used to smoke butts in the locker room before and after periods, should they still be doing it?
No because they realized the impact it has on their breathing and abilities, so players for the most part stopped smoking, and all of them (due to laws) no longer smoke in the locker room.
Also can we stop using the Blood feud as evidence we need to keep fighting, when was the last time a rivalry was that strong and had that much bad blood.
No fight in the past 15 years has as much reason to be had as those fights.
IF every fight in the NHL was in the same vein as the ones between the Wings and Avs, I for one would have no issue with them.
But most of the fights are over clean hits, scrums at the net, or because a couple of goons are on the ice.
Even when Matt Cooke ended Marc Savard's career, how many of the big bad bruins kicked his arse?

Yeah I know if only Kenny had offered him a deal before the trade deadline, maybe even two offers and one of them being the exact offer he ended signing with NJ.
Then it would be EPIC WIN!
In "Reality Land" the nose turned down the offers he got from the Wings to test free agency, oh but don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant!

Taking a slap shot, like Gregory Campbell, has no long lasting affects, a fight with or without a concussion can cause life long issues.
Including the depression that took the life of Boogard and others.
That is why your argument, while a valid point, loses me.
Hitting when done in a reckless manner, and when targeting the head does cause more damage than fighting, but the league is also trying to eliminate those things.
Sure a good Kronwalling or other clean play can lead to a concussion, but eliminating dirty or unnecessary plays can help reduce the numbers.
I can walk outside trip over my own shoelaces and get a severe concussion, you are never going to totally get rid of the risk, but why not try to prevent them where you can and where they fall outside of the normal realm of play.
Note: fights take place outside of "play" the whistle stops play and this is happening during stoppage time. I know fighting happens in game and not in the locker room or somewhere else.

I am more worried about an aggressive forecheck, like that of the B's or the Blackhawks, than I am someone baiting.
This young D has not done very well under extreme forechecking.
I think that is what got the Hawks back in the series last year, ton of pressure on the young D and they tended to cough up the puck.

May 23, 2015
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Chattanooga fire officials have charged a high school principal with failing to pull an alarm and evacuate students and faculty after someone at the school called 911 and reported smoke in the building.
Fire marshal Craig Haney said an assistant fire marshal who happened to be in the area of Hixson High School this morning pulled the alarm.
Haney said there was a smell of smoke but nothing visible though obviously something was burning.
Fire officials said the school was evacuated until firefighters determined nothing was on fire.
Haney said principal Christine Couch was cited for "failure to implement the appropriate emergency plan or procedure," a misdemeanor. A city court hearing is set for October 29th.
Couch could not be reached for comment. However, county education officials said Couch noted an unusual smell but in the absence of any smoke she asked the first firefighters who arrived to let her know if she should evacuate the school.

FC Twente striker Nikita Rukavytsya came off the bench to score for his team in a midweek friendly.
The former Perth Glory marksman netted the Dutch club's second goal in their 2-0 win over German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach and it was great timing as he did whilst Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek was in the stands.
"I was surprised to hear from him but I didn't let it affect me as I was just happy to get on and make an impact in the second half," he said.
"If I have caught his eye then great but this was only a warm-up game and I know that if I'm not playing regularly then I won't be any hope of doing enough to be selected for the World Cup squad next year."
Rukavytsya knows this is an important season for him at club level after experiencing some first team action with Twente last term.
"If I can break through this year then I'm a chance (of Socceroos squad) because it would be a big step for me to be a first teamer at such a good club as Twente."
