Sobotka cleared to return
|03.27.10 at 11:18 am ET
After missing Thursday's game with a neck strain and mild concussion, Vladimir Sobotka said Saturday morning he was cleared to return to action against the Calgary Flames. The center suffered the injury when he was hit during the game in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
"It's been evident in the last couple of games, we've been successful just being hard on the puck and getting there on the forecheck," linemate Milan Lucic said. "Having him back, he's a fast player and he's really strong on the puck, he's going to help being back in the lineup."
Julien: 'It's our own fault'
|03.26.10 at 3:33 am ET
Just 49 seconds into the game, Bruins coach Claude Julien had a classic 'I can't believe what I just saw' look on his face.
He couldn't believe Steven Stamkos, one of the most skilled goal-scorers in the game, was spotted a good two strides offsides into the Bruins zone without being whistled for the infraction. That break allowed him to take a near-perfect pass from Steve Downie and beat Tuukka Rask for an early 1-0 lead.
But afterward, as much as he wanted to blame the missed offsides for costing them the first goal of the game and some valuable early momentum, he just couldn't bring himself to also overlook the responsibility his team bears for coming up flat on home ice at an extremely inopportune time.
"It was, yeah, I don't want to say it was just one of those nights, but, like I said, certainly with every little thing that happened, they found a way," Julien said. "The first one, again is an offside goal. But it still doesn't mean there's something we could have done about it, we could have reacted better. So you got to blame yourself for those kind of things.
"We didn't have a good start tonight," Julien said. "The opportunities that we gave them, they capitalized on. Defensively, I didn't think we were as sharp as we have been. When you spot the type of players that scored for them tonight some opportunities, they certainly will make the best of it. So it's our own fault for not being sharp without the puck, sharper [without the puck]."
As a result of Thursday's letdown game, the Bruins missed a golden opportunity to move up in the standings as Philadelphia lost in overtime to Minnesota. The Flyers now stand two points ahead of the Bruins for 7th in the East.
"Your number one concern is your team," Julien said. "It doesn't mean you don't look at the scoreboard after it's all said and done, but right now our concern is we need to bounce back and we need to win the next hockey game. When the next hockey game happens to be in your home building, where we got to get better as well. So that's probably the most important concern right now."
Bruins cannot bottle Lightning in loss
|03.25.10 at 9:34 pm ET
Summary — The Bruins could not bottle up the Lightning at TD Garden en route to a 5-3 loss on Thursday night. Tuukka Rask took the loss by allowing five goals on 18 shots after coming into the game the NHL leader in goals against average at 2.02. Antero Niittmaki shut down a Bruins attack that mustered an astounding 50 shots but only the three goals.
Tampa Bay came out of the gates hot. Just 49-seconds into the game Steve Downie fed Steve Stamkos coming down the slot right at Rask. Downie put it right on Stamkos's tape and it was any easy goal. There was a mild controversy if Stamkos was offsides on the rush but no ruling was made. The Lightning would go up two ate in the first period when Dennis Seidenberg botched a pass to Michael Ryder rolling up the right wing that turn Vincent Lecavalier instantly turned for a break the other way. Lecavalier would shoot/pass from the wing to a rushing Martin St. Louis. The puck and St. Louis reached Rask at the same time and the forward won the battle and slipped the puck into the net at 18:05.
Boston would gain one of those goals back with 26.8 seconds left in the first period. David Krejci battled on the half-wall to win the puck and passed the puck in front of Niittymaki onto the stick of Zdeno Chara who deflected it through the crease to cut the Lightning lead in half.
Tampa pushed its advantage back to two in the front half of the second period when Paul Szcezchura spotted the puck on a turnover in the Bruins zone on the right circle and sent a shot on Rask that was stopped but slipped through the crease somehow to make it 3-1 at 6:50.
Johnny Boychuk got the goal back for Boston at 10:42 in the second when he beat Niittymaki through a stretching, far side five hole for his fifth of the season.
Stamkos struck again within a minute of the end of the second period on the power play when he fired a one-time rocket from the top of the left circle that streaked through traffic and passed Rask to make the score 4-2.
Szczechura got his second of the game at 3:00 in the third on the power play when he took a feed from St. Louis in the slot in front of Rask and beat the goalie high glove side to make it a three goal Tampa advantage. Boston closed it to two at 11:50 when Mark Recchi scored his 16th of the season by banging the puck into the net from the within the crease.
Three Stars
Steven Stamkos — An impressive effort by the 20-year-old former No.1 overall pick. He was a constant thorn in the Bruins side en route to a two goal performance that gave him 45 for the season.
Paul Szczechura — The Lightning center scored his fourth and fifth goals of the season in his 48th game of the year for Tampa.
David Krejci — The Bruins center looked a lot like his 2008-09 self as he set up the Bruins first two goals and was active with the puck all game long.
Turning Point — Stamkos' second goal at the end of the second period stopped any chance of a comeback that the Bruins may have had as it increased the Lightning lead back to two goals. The Bruins are 3-22-0 (including Thursday) this season when they trail by two goalsl at any time during a game.
Key Play — The the Bruins biggest breakdown of the game cost them on what turned out to be Szczechura's first of the game in the second period. The Lightning chased the puck into the Bruins zone and maintained a forecheck that ended up with Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference attempting to clear the puck from behind the goal line that ended up right on the stick of a charging Szchechura. All the center needed to do was wind up and fire. Rask stopped it initially but the shot's momentum carried it through the crease.
Second period summary: Bruins vs. Lightning
|03.25.10 at 8:42 pm ET
The Steven Stamkos show continued late in the second period as his power play blast beat Tuukka Rask for his 45th goal of the season. Not only did the goal with 25.8 seconds left in the period put Tampa Bay up, 4-2 after two periods, it tied the unsung star with Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin for the NHL lead.
Johnny Boychuk and Zdeno Chara are having similar nights. The two defensemen have been downright offensive.
Chara had a couple of bad giveaways in his own zone in the first period but scored Boston's first goal with an aggressive pinch up the slot with 26.8 seconds left.
Then, in the second period, Boychuk lost control of the puck behind Tuukka Rask. It was stolen by Paul Szczechura, who put it past the unsuspecting Bruins netminder for a 3-1 Tampa lead.
But Boychuk, like Chara, redeemed himself with a nifty shot from the low right point. Boychuk used the screen in front of Antero Niittymaki beautifully and when the puck went through the five-hole, the Bruins had closed the gap again to one at the 10:22 mark.
In the opening two minutes, there was an ironic moment as Shawn Thornton took out Kurtis Foster on the corner boards to the right of Niittymaki. The check close to the head of Foster could be the first instance of discipline from the new NHL 'Blindshot Headshot' rule enacted earlier in the day.
It was exactly one week ago when Thornton exacted his revenge on Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke for a hit on Feb. 7 on Marc Savard that left the Bruins center out indefinitely with a concussion.
Bruins are more-than-doubling up Tampa Bay on the shot clock, 31-15, after 40 minutes.
First period summary: Bruins vs. Lightning
|03.25.10 at 7:51 pm ET
The Bruins carried play for most of the first, outshooting Tampa Bay, 19-8, but some breakdowns in front of Tuukka Rask led to two Tampa Bay goals and a 2-1 Lightning lead after one.
The NHL's leading goal scorer not named Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin put the visitors on top just 49 seconds into the game.
Steven Stamkos, streaking down the slot, took a feed from Steve Downie and redirected a pretty shot past Tuukka Rask for a 1-0 Lightning lead. Replays showed Stamkos appeared to be clearly offsides, which is what Bruins coach Claude Julien argued in vein from the bench.
Stamkos has 44 goals this season. Only Crosby and Ovechkin – each with 45 – have more.
Vincent Lecavalier faked a slap shot from the top of the left circle only to pass to a rushing Martin St. Louis, who beat Rask with just under two minutes left in the first for a 2-0 lead.
The Bruins finally responded with 26.8 seconds remaining on a 4-on-4 when David Krejci fed a pinching Zdeno Chara in front of Niittymaki. Chara put it past the Tampa netminder and the Bruins finally had some life.
The Bruins didn't let the early goal slow them down. They carried play for much of the first 15 minutes, outshooting Tampa, 11-3.
Marco Sturm had a mini-breakaway in from the Lightning blue line with five minutes left but Niittymaki again came up big.
Julien, Bergeron react to new blindside rule
|03.25.10 at 3:11 pm ET
The NHL finalized a new blindside hit rule on Thursday that will ban blindside hits to the head, effective immediately. The rule is intended to prohibit "a lateral, back-pressure or blind-side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact."
"I don't think there are too many people who are going to argue against it," coach Claude Julien said. "I think the players want a little bit of security when it comes to that and what I personally like about the rule is that there is responsibility for both sides. You can't expect the player carrying the puck to be able to see what is behind him in a way where there is what is called blindside hits but at the same time also puts the responsibility for the puck carrier. If you are going to put your head down and you get hit head on it becomes your responsibility. They are not taking hits out of the game and they are putting the responsibility, and the right responsibility, on both players."
Julien said that coaches were shown a video of the type of hits the league is talking about but, to be sure, the rule was sped through the system after the brouhaha of Matt Cooke's hit to Marc Savard on March 7. The Flyers' Mike Richards hit to Florida's David Booth earlier this season was also impetus to implement the rule. Booth missed 45 games after the hit.
The rule initially calls for a suspension for blindside hits with no in-game penalty this season though it is likely that an in-game penalty will be instituted by the start of the 2010-11 season.
"Personally, I think it is pretty black and white," Julien said. "A blindside hit or a head on hit. We are talking about hits to the head. You can hit from the side, as long as you are not hitting the head … To me it is pretty clear the way it has been explained and if they want to put it into play anytime I am for it because it doesn't take practice, it takes common sense."
Patrice Bergeron, no stranger to concussions after questionable hits, completely agreed with Julien that the rule is more common sense than any type of game changer.
"For me it is a rule that is kind of common sense," Bergeron said. "It is a rule that should have been in place and now that it is I hope everyone's going to think about it … I don't think it is going to change the game, I think it is still going to be a physical game. There will still be some good hits but those hits, direct to the head are careless and there is no need for it and I am just happy that there is a rule in place now."
Ultimately, Bergeron said, it is up to the players to do the right thing on the ice.
"I think in between the players we need to be responsible, we need to think about the actions before we do it," Bergeron said. "Kids are watching, it's something important but first and foremost it is the players."
Morning skate notes: Bruins-Lightning
|03.25.10 at 12:33 pm ET
Do not look now, but the Bruins are actually closer to the two teams in front of them in the playoff race than the teams behind. Has the focused shifted from just trying to hang onto to a spot in the tournament to gunning down the Flyers and Canadiens?
"That has been our focus all along, you know," Blake Wheeler said. "Nobody has really separated themselves from that pack. We understand the importance of the games we just played but we thought it was more important to get those points to move ahead in the standings because we have an opportunity to move up each game and that is our focus, game to game."
Boston now stands one point behind the free falling Flyers, two behind the Montreal and only five back of Ottawa for the seventh, sixth and fifth spots in the conference. If the Bruins could manage to jump up to the sixth slot they would likely face Buffalo (as the third division winner), a matchup that would be the most favorable of all the options circling the top of the Eastern Conference.
Moving up in the conference is contingent on one thing that has eluded the Bruins thus far in the season — consistency. Can the Bruins take the positive effort from the last two games and apply it to the Lightning Thursday then the Flames and Sabres on Saturday and Monday?
"It is always one of those situations the way our team has been this year that we haven't been able to get the consistency that we wanted," coach Claude Julien said. "These last two games have certainly been a step in the right direction but you have to build a little more momentum before you can make that assessment, I guess. There is another challenge for us tonight."
Notes from the morning skate:
Vladimir Sobotka took a nasty hit into the boards from the Thrashers' Evgeny Artyukhin on Tuesday and sustained a head/neck injury that Julien said was not a concussion but there was not date set for the center's return.
"There is never a timetable for injuries like [Sobotka's], but he is better today," Julien said. "So hopefully we will know more about his situation by tomorrow."
Veteran center Trent Whitfield has been recalled from Providence to step in the Sobotka's place on the line with Milan Lucic and Miroslav Satan.
"I think that [Whitfield] is certainly a guy that can make plays and is a hard worker and, again, that is the way we put it this morning and we could change it tonight," Julien said. "I though Steve Begin played one of his better games on Tuesday and he is another guy who can go in that spot if we need to and we will kind of feel our way through this one tonight."
Whitfield just hopes he can continue on the good work that Sobotka had been doing in recent games before the injury.
"I just hope that I am not disruptive," Whitfield said. "He had been playing pretty well the last few weeks and I just want to go out there and work hard and get them the puck and hopefully maybe we can score a goal and get play a good, solid game."
There has been nothing fancy about the Sobotka line. Straight dump and chase, active on the forecheck and in the neutral zone type of hockey.
"That is my kind of line. I play a pretty straight up and down kind of game too," Whitfield said. "Just get it in deep, get the puck to the net and get to the net. Get a couple ugly ones and maybe a nice one. Who knows?"
— Andrew Ference signed a three-year contract extension yesterday. Julien weighed in on what he thinks of keeping the blue liner around for the next few years.
"He has been a pretty reliable defenseman when he has played for us and it is good for him that he has come to an agreement," Julien said. "He has good experience back there and he is also a good leader and again, barring injury he has been nothing but dependable."
— Tuukka Rask was the first goaltender off the ice at TD Garden which will make him the probable starter on Thursday night. Matt Hunwick and Brad Marchand both skated for a little extra time than the rest of the team which is a good indicator that they will be healthy scratches come game time.

Loss of Manufacturing Jobs Prevents Normal Recovery
- Details
- Published on Monday, 11 May 2009 11:30
Manufacturing is in intensive care in America. New data shows manufacturing productivity still falling and unit labor costs are still rising. In my experience, the opposite always happens in a recession – you get lean and mean. The productivity trend since 2000 has not been good anyway, but since the recession began things have gotten worse.

Re: Boarding and rafting to stranger's boats.
Casey1999, I think your last post was referring to my post so in response I'll just say in my experience I have never seen firsthand a rafted boat damage another. This might be due to the extreme caution taken when rafting but I don't know for sure. What I have seen firsthand is boats dragging through anchorages, damage from one boat to another in side by side slips and boats falling over on the hard hitting the boat next to it. Granted rafting might not be practised as extensively as the other modes and so my experience might be biased but I do not think it puts other boats in undue peril if using a common sense approach.
Without empirical data I could not give an informed opinion on societal responsibility today as opposed to 70-100 years ago.
As far as litigiousness is concerned law in the States is refined by the courts hence the active jurisprudence.

A workaholic is a person who works compulsively. While the term generally implies that the person enjoys their work,[citation needed] it can also imply that they simply feel compelled to do it. There is no generally accepted medical definition of such a condition, although some forms of stress, impulse control disorder, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder can be work-related.
Workaholism is not the same as working hard.[1]
The word itself is a portmanteau word composed of work and alcoholic. Initially coined by Dr. Richard I. Evans in 1964,[2][3][4] while employed as a consultant at Esso, now ExxonMobil, Dr. Evans was interviewed by Downs Matthews, former editor of Exxon USA, a globally distributed periodical, to discuss the problem of how to handle employees who had a tendency of overworking to the point of becoming less productive. Dr. Evans explained that it was a phenomenon similar to other addictions of excess, such as alcoholism, and made an off-the-cuff comment that perhaps those types of employees should be referred to as 'workaholics'. The term was further disseminated by noted columnist James J. Kilpatrick, and appeared again in an interview with Wayne Oates in 1968.[5][6][7] The term gained widespread use in the 1990s, as the result of a wave of the self-help movement that centered on addiction, forming an analogy between harmful social behaviors such as over-work and drug addiction, including addiction to alcohol.[citation needed]
Although the term workaholic usually has a negative connotation, it is sometimes used by people wishing to express their devotion to one's career in positive terms. The "work" in question is usually associated with a paying job, but it may also refer to independent pursuits such as sports, music and art. A workaholic in the negative sense is popularly characterized by a neglect of family and other social relations. Similarly, people considered to be workaholics tend to lose track of time - voluntarily or involuntarily. For example, subjects might proclaim that they will spend a certain amount of time (e.g. 30 minutes) on their work, while those "30 minutes" ultimately become hours..
Researchers have found that in many cases, incessant work-related activity continues even after impacting the subject's relationships and physical health. Causes of it are thought to be anxiety, low self-esteem and intimacy problems. "Workaholism" is diagnosed more rarely that other addictions because there is less of a social stigma surrounding it.[8]
Clinical researcher Professor Bryan Robinson identifies two axes for workaholics: work initiation and work completion. He associates the behavior of procrastination with both "Savoring Workaholics" (those with low work initiation/low work completion) and "Attention-Deficit Workaholics" (those with high work initiation and low work completion), in contrast to "Bulimic" and "Relentless" workaholics - both of whom have high work completion.[9] He has stated "Workaholism is an addiction, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it's not the same as working hard. Workaholic's obsession with work is all-occupying, which prevents workaholics from maintaining healthy relationships, outside interests, or even take measures to protect their health."[10]
Workaholism in Japan is considered a serious social problem leading to early death, often on the job, a phenomenon dubbed karōshi. Overwork was popularly blamed for the fatal stroke of Prime Minister of Japan Keizō Obuchi, in the year 2000.[11] In the U.S. and Canada, workaholism, despite being dangerous, has been referred to as a "respectable addiction".[10]
Workaholics feel the urge of being busy all the time, to the point that they often perform tasks that are not required or necessary for project completion. As a result, they tend to be inefficient workers, since they focus on being busy, instead of focusing on being productive. In addition, workaholics tend to be less effective than other workers because they have difficulty working as part of a team, trouble delegating or entrusting co-workers, or organizational problems due to taking on too much work at once.[10] Furthermore, workaholics often suffer sleep deprivation which results in impaired brain and cognitive function.[12]
As with other psychological addictions, workaholics often cannot see that they have a problem. Confronting the workaholic will generally be met with denial. This has been seen in interventions arranged by co-workers, family members and friends, communicating the effects of the workaholic's behavior on them.[13] Indeed, mental treatment to cure a workaholic can successfully reduce the hours spent on the job, while increasing the person's productivity. Studies show that fully recovered former workaholics can accomplish in 50 hours what they previously could not do in 80.[13][not in citation given]

The trust has just finalised its concept plans (pictured,
right) for the 693sq m building it proposes to build on land
next to Wanaka's St Columba's Anglican Church in McDougall
Dame Sukhi said yesterday the building would be used by 63
different community groups, including Community Networks
Wanaka, which provides social services for the Upper Clutha.
The trust is in the process of seeking resource consent from
the Queenstown Lakes District Council for the building and
Dame Sukhi said it had a fundraising plan ready to be
launched once consent was granted.
''We can't go into fundraising until we have the complete
go-ahead,'' she said.
The building will include several offices and meeting rooms,
a shared reception area and a larger auditorium space.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
