Hockey Viewing Parties
by PuckStopsHere on 04/18/10 at 02:17 PM ET
Comments (14)
Last year in the playoffs, one controversy was the outdoor viewing parties outside Mellon Arena for Pittsburgh Penguins playoff games. When the games were broadcast on NBC, this viewing party, which was good for the promotion of the game was killed. NBC argued that this cost them money - which it did on a small level. The few thousand viewers at the Penguins viewing party were watching the NBC feed. The problem is that they are not counted. The Nielsen TV ratings count the number of TV sets watching a game and not the number of viewers. Advertising ratings are linked to Nielsen ratings. Thus NBC wants the maximum number of TVs on. They may lose some viewers in the process (as some people who go for the viewing party would not bother watching a game at home) but it increases revenue marginally. For the same reason NBC does not like sports bars or large families that watch TV together. It is a broken system where an event that is great for promotion of hockey with an NBC feed watched by thousands is not in NBC's best interests.

The Importance Of Goalies With Playoff Experience
by PuckStopsHere on 04/17/10 at 02:05 PM ET
Comments (0)
It is very early in the playoffs, but two of the weaker performances in goal have been turned in by the two goalies with Stanley Cup victories who have played this year. Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils has a .884 saves percentage and a 2.54 GAA. Marc-Andre Fleury has a .870 saves percentage and a 3.03 GAA. Both have not performed well enough for their respective teams to have any serious chance at a deep playoff run. Unless their performance improves, both of their teams will soon be eliminated. It is a well-believed myth that playoff experience in goaltending is important to a team's success. This year (so far) Ryan Miller, Pekka Rinne, Jaroslav Halak, Tuukka Rask and Jonathan Quick have to top five saves percentages. None have ever been in the Stanley Cup finjals. Of those five, Ryan Miller is the only one who has ever played a complete playoff series. It is important to have a goalie who has plays well in the playoffs, but playoff experience is not a predictor of this.

Souray's Trade Request
by PuckStopsHere on 04/16/10 at 01:45 PM ET
Comments (0)
In 2007, the Edmonton Oilers signed Sheldon Souray to a five year contract worth $27 million. The deal was a bit ill-conceived in that Edmonton had publicly announced that they would sign some free agents and Souray was one of the few remaining. Souray was not likely to be a difference-maker during his contract, but he was as big a name as the Oilers could find to sign.
Three years into the deal, the Edmonton Oilers finished in last place and Souray has decided he wants out. He requested a trade from the Oilers. Technically, he has a no trade clause until the beginning of July, but he seems willing to waive it to be moved to almost any team.
One moral of the story is that last place teams tend not to be attractive draws to players who have some control over where they are going. Even signed players with some power may want out of a situation that they would otherwise have been happy with if their team is winning.

Rick Dudley As Atlanta GM
by PuckStopsHere on 04/15/10 at 01:19 PM ET
Comments (0)
Yesterday, the Atlanta Thrashers moved Don Waddell out of the general manager position and into the team presidency and replaced him with Rick Dudley, the team's assistant GM. Is that really the big change that the team needs? Don Waddell is still around and it remains to be seen how involved he is with the team. There is no new blood in as general manager. Rick Dudley has been the assistant general manager with the team for the last year. If he had a brilliant plan that was going to change the team direction, we would already be seeing signs of it on the ice.
Dudley has two previous GM runs in the NHL. Both were short. In 1998/1999 he was general manager of the Ottawa Senators. This was the year that the Sens took a significant leap forward. They won the Northeast Division for the first time. Giving Dudley the credit is misplaced. Their improvement was due to a young core picked up with some early draft picks before Dudley began as general manager.

Tampa And Atlanta Clean House
by PuckStopsHere on 04/14/10 at 01:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
With the regular season over, two of the more ineptly run teams have announced that their GM and coach will not be back in those positions next year. The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired GM Brian Lawton and coach Rick Tocchet and the Atlanta Thrashers have moved GM Don Waddell to team president and fired coach John Anderson.
Tampa has been owned and managed very dysfunctionally. The Oren Koules and Len Barrie ownership circus atmosphere ended when the team was sold to Jeffrey Vinik, but its problems remained. The GM and coach did not get along. In mid-season, GM Lawton fired assistant coach Wes Walz and coach Rick Tocchet did not agree with the move. Jim Johnson was brought up from AHL Norfolk to replace Walz and was seen by Tocchet as a GM spy in the dressing room. Eventually Johnson was re-assigned to Norfolk, but the bad blood remained. In order for Tampa to make a fresh start, it was necessary to turf both Lawton and Tocchet and start again.

First Round Playoff Predictions
by PuckStopsHere on 04/13/10 at 02:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
The first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs opens tomorrow. Here are my predictions on the first round series.
Washington defeats Montreal Montreal has Jaroslav Halak in goal, who is one of the hottest goalies in the league and that is reason to think an upset is not impossible, but Washington is too good. They have too strong a team. They were first place and had the biggest goal differential in the league. They have too many offensive weapons to lose in the first round to an eighth seed, who would have been 12th in the west with the same record.

If I Had An Award Ballot

Every year, I write my annual post on who I would be voting for if I had a chance to vote for the NHL awards. Here was last year's picks. These are not predictions of who will win the awards; they are my picks as to who is most worth of winning.
Selke Trophy - 1. Jordan Staal Pittsburgh Penguins 2. Patrick Marleau San Jose Sharks 3. Jay McClement St Louis Blues Here is why I pick Staal and why I dislike several of the other top contenders. I think that three of Ryan Kesler, Pavel Datsyuk and Jonathan Toews and Staal will likely be nominated, so I expect that my other contenders wind up missing out.

The Final Playoff Berth
by PuckStopsHere on 04/11/10 at 03:22 PM ET
Comments (0)
There is one final game which most of the hockey world is watching today. The New York Rangers play at the Philadelphia Flyers for the final playoff berth in the East Conference. Both teams are currently tied with 86 points. The winner of today's game will have 88 points and make the playoffs. The loser misses the playoffs. It doesn't matter if this game is settled in regulation or not. The winner makes the playoffs and the loser does not.
I hope to see the New York Rangers win. They look like a stronger team right now. Philadelphia has goaltending issues. Injured is Ray Emery, Michael Leighton and Johan Backlund. Brian Boucher is forced to be the Flyers goalie. Boucher has a subpar .898 saves percentage and a 2.83 GAA. Jeremy Duchesne, who was a mediocre ECHL goalie last year, is their backup and will not be used if it is at all possible. This makes the Flyers a very beatable team. In the last ten games, the Flyers have a 3-7 record (with one regulation tie point). This is the worst record in the league over the last ten games in the league. The Flyers look like easy first round fodder should they make the playoffs.

No Elite Goalies In The 2009 SemiFinals - One Year Later
by PuckStopsHere on 04/10/10 at 06:48 PM ET
Comments (0)
Last year during the Stanley Cup semi-finals I wrote that no elite goalies were left in the Stanley Cup playoffs. At that time the four remaining starting goalies were Cam Ward of the Carolina Hurricanes, Nikolai Khabibulin of the Chicago Blackhawks, Chris Osgood of the Detroit Red Wings and Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The comment was heavily criticized as people wanted to argue that Osgood or Fleury were elite goalies. There was significantly less concern about ward and Khabibulin. The next NHL season is complete and it stands to reason that if any of those goalies were elite goalies last year, they probably still are. As elite goalies they probably would be in the running for the Vezina Trophy, post-season All Star teams or made significant contributions to their respective Olympic teams. None of these goalies clearly measure up this year.

A Double Whammy
by PuckStopsHere on 04/09/10 at 12:49 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Edmonton Oilers have had a tough year. They finished last in the NHL this season. The AHL affiliate, the Springfield Falcons, also finished last in their league. For the Oilers, help is not on its way from their top minor team. Springfield has won 24 of their 77 games this season and has 63 points to sit in last place in the AHL. With 283 goals allowed, no team has allowed as many goals this season as Springfield has. Their 193 goals for is fourth worst in the league. Their -90 +/- rating is worst in the league.
Their top scorer is Charles Linglet. He has 74 points in 75 AHL games. He is currently in the NHL with the Oilers and has no points in his three NHL games. The only other two players with significant scoring totals this year are Chad Wiseman and Colton Fretter, who have 54 and 53 points respectively.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Because of a computer virus wreaking havoc on its networks, Gwinnett Medical Center has begun diverting ambulances from its campus and expects to continue operating primarily on a paper-based system throughout the weekend.Hospital officials identified the computer virus that basically "impacts the interconnectivity between computers" on Wednesday afternoon, GMC spokeswoman Beth Okun told the Daily Post. The hospital's IT providers are working "diligently" to solve the problem, Okun said. Both GMC campuses remain fully functional, but are having to rely on runners where computers would usually get the job done. The hospitals are essentially operating like they did before the age of email and more advanced connectivity solutions. Officials expect to run on these "down-time operations" through the weekend. "We are still able to provide seamless quality care," Okun said. Meanwhile, GMC's campuses in Lawrenceville and Duluth are both on "total diversion status," meaning Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services ambulances are being directed to take patients to "the next closest appropriate facility," fire department spokesman Lt. Eric Eberly said. Patients are only being transported to Gwinnett Medical if they are in extreme respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest or traumatic arrest, Eberly said. "We are looking into putting up additional medic units to assist us during this time," Eberly said.

LA Galaxy fans will still need to wait about seven months until Steven Gerrard suits up for the club, but it's very apparent that the 34-year-old Liverpool FC legend will be in top form once he arrives.
On Friday morning during Liverpool's preparations for Saturday's match against Sunderland (4:45 am on NBCSN/mun2) at their training ground Melwood, Gerrard delivered an impressive left-footed volley that sailed into the back of the net.
Watch the goal above.
Excited to see what Gerrard will bring once he arrives? How closely will you be watching Liverpool FC's games now?

LA Galaxy Homegrowns Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes called up to the U.S. National Team's annual January camp
CARSON, Calif. -- Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes have officially gone from the LA Galaxy Academy all the way to the U.S. National Team.
Galaxy Homegrown Players Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes were among the 28-man roster named by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the team's annual January camp at StubHub Center from Jan. 12 to Feb. 8. The training camp will end with a pair of matches for the U.S. against Chile in South America on Jan. 28 and against CONCACAF rivals Panama on Feb. 8 at StubHub Center.
The call-ups will be the first from the senior team for both Sorto and Zardes. While Zardes carries no tournament experience, the 20-year-old Sorto was a member of the U.S. Under-20 squad during their participation in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
The inclusions of youngsters like Sorto and Zardes are part of Klinsmann's stated goal of bringing in Olympic-eligible players as the USMNT looks ahead to not only the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, but also the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. The U.S. Under-23's famously missed out on the 2012 Olympic Games in London which were won by CONCACAF archrivals Mexico.
"The prize in 2015 for the senior National Team is the Gold Cup, and this camp will give a lot of our players a chance to kick start their preparations for an important year," Klinsmann said. "We also get an opportunity to introduce the next wave of young players into the program, and in particular work with many of our Olympic-age guys as they build toward qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio."
The complete U.S. roster is below.
GOALKEEPERS (4): Alex Bono (unattached), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Jon Kempin (Sporting Kansas City), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (8): Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Steve Birnbaum (D.C. United), Christian Dean (Vancouver Whitecaps FC), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), Perry Kitchen (D.C. United), Shane O'Neill (Colorado Rapids), Oscar Sorto (LA Galaxy)
MIDFIELDERS (10): Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (out of contract), Dennis Flores (Club Leon), Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake), Miguel Ibarra (Minnesota United FC), Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution), Marc Pelosi (Liverpool FC), Dillon Serna (Colorado Rapids), Brek Shea (Orlando City SC), Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew)
FORWARDS (6): Tesho Akindele (FC Dallas), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Julio Morales (Tepic), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes), Bobby Wood (1860 Munich), Gyasi Zardes (LA Galaxy)
Tab Ramos, Lynden Gooch and Bradford Jamieson IV discuss the team's preparations and what to expect in their first match of the 2015 CONCACAF Championship against Guatemala.
In a special LA Galaxy Insider Breakdown, I look at how the LA Galaxy's new signing of Liverpool FC midfield can benefit the team and just where he'll fit.
Check it out above.
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena on Steven Gerrard: "we want to get him pushed as close to goal as we can"
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke to reporters on Wednesday to discuss the club's newest Designated Player signing of Liverpool FC midfielder Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard will remain with Liverpool until the end of their season and will be eligible to play when the league's transfer window opens in mid-January.
Arena's complete comments from the conference call can be found below.
(On how the Galaxy intend to rotate their midfield around Gerrard…)
ARENA: I'm not spending a whole lot of time on that right now. We have seven months or so until Stevie arrives here in Los Angeles, and we're going to play out the process of our team, see how it moves forward, and see how we're ready to utilize Stevie once he gets here.
(On how Gerrard relates to other European arrivals to MLS like Beckham and Keane…)
ARENA: I think that they have proven track records. They're winners, they're great people, they've been terrific leaders on their clubs previous to coming to the Galaxy, and their qualities speak for themselves. Stevie has the characteristics of David Beckham and Robbie Keane, he's a terrific players, he's of great character, a great teammate and a great leader, so I think he'll complement our team in a very positive way.
(On Gerrard's versatility in the midfield…)
ARENA: In my observation of Stevie over the years, he's not only been a central midfielder, he's played a little bit shaded to the left or right underneath the strikers, so he can play a variety of positions in midfield. My guess is we'll play him closer to the forwards than our center backs. He's a player obviously with very good attacking qualities and we want to get him pushed as close to goal as we can, when we can. So I think we can accommodate that through a variety of positions. It'll take a little bit of time, but we'll get it figured out by the time that Stevie arrives.
(On the criticism that Gerrard receives for being unable to track back…)
ARENA: Steven Gerrard is a great player. He played in the 2014 World Cup, he plays for one of the top clubs in England… He's got great experience, great understanding of the game; he's quite capable of playing on both sides of the ball. I believe he'll be a very good player for us in MLS.C
(On if Arena will manage Gerrard's minutes…)
ARENA: I will manage his minutes. I'm going to try to get him on the field as much as possible.
(On the process to sign Gerrard…)
ARENA: First of all, I think Stevie did his homework, he was well aware of MLS and the Galaxy. He's been here a couple of times, obviously with Liverpool, so he knew Southern California and L..A. He understands MLS, so there weren't a whole lot of questions and he's obviously been aware of Beckham and Keane at the Galaxy. But on and off over the years, Stevie's always been a name that we've examined as a potential player to come to the Galaxy, and obviously over the recent months we've obviously pursued the player… Over the last two or three weeks, things came together pretty quickly.
(On if the Galaxy had other options…)
ARENA: We were looking at three or four players over the last three or four months, and obviously, Stevie was there all along. I would say that I thought it was going to be a longshot to acquire Stevie, but as we got closer to the year, interest on both parties picked up, and we were very fortunate to be able to secure a deal.
(On how Keane and Gerrard will combine…)
ARENA: They're two outstanding players. They've played together before, they know each other, and I think in a short period of time they're going to be able to have a great understanding of each other, and I'm quite confident that we'll see they're going to be able to help create chances for the LA Galaxy.
(On Robbie Keane's input in the Gerrard signing…)
ARENA: To be honest with you, I have not spoken to Robbie Keane about this. Maybe a month or so ago, I let him know we were talking with Stevie, but we didn't talk about how he fit in with the team and everything else. I just acknowledged the fact that Stevie was a player that we had an interest in.
CARSON, Calif. – The signing Steven Gerrard represents a major addition for the LA Galaxy, but just where does the Englishman fit in an already stacked LA midfield?
The Galaxy lifted their fifth MLS Cup on the strength of one of – if not the best—midfield in Major League Soccer which was anchored by the Brazilian tandem of Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas. Meanwhile on the flanks, a hodgepodge of Landon Donovan, Baggio Husidic and Stefan Ishizaki provided width to a Galaxy attack that scored a league-high 69 goals during the regular season.
At the height of his powers, Gerrard was one of Europe's best midfielders with ability to not only provide defensive cover, but also create chances on his own due to his unparalleled work rate. In more recent times, Gerrard has settled into a holding midfield role that has allowed him to orchestrate from deeper in the parking and use his pinpoint passing to open up chances for teammates across the field.
Considering that at 35, Gerrard does not have the same engine that he had at his peak, Bruce Arena may opt to use the Englishman in defensive midfield capacity ala David Beckham in his final two seasons with the club.
What does Arena himself think? Well, the Galaxy head coach and general manager isn't focusing on it just yet.
"I'm not spending a whole lot of time thinking about that right now," said Arena during the team's media availability after announcing the signing. "We have seven months or so until Stevie arrives here in Los Angeles and we're going to play out the process of our team. We'll see how it moves forward and see how we're ready to utilize Stevie once he gets here."
But now I'll give you an option to predict the Galaxy's next midfield. Below are a series of midfield combinations and I'll allow you to decide which midfield you'd like to see lineup when Gerrard arrives. Obviously, the list is hardly exhaustive so add your own midfield combos in the comment section beneath.
CARSON, Calif. -- It's been a big Wednesday for the LA Galaxy, they've got their third Designated Player in Steven Gerrard and now they've got a schedule for their 2015 MLS regular season campaign.
The Galaxy will play 34 games this season with the club opening up their campaign on March 6 against the Chicago Fire at StubHub Center. Of the LA Galaxy's 34 matches in 2015, 24 games will be played against Western Conference with the 10 against the Eastern Conference. The Galaxy will play a majority of their games on Saturday with 17 matches on that day while the most congested month will be May when the Galaxy will play an impressive seven games.
Below are five games that I'm personally looking forward to seeing:
1) Vs. Chicago Fire on March 6
*The Galaxy will open their season against their old teammate Mike Magee who will be making his trip to StubHub Center since departing back in 2013.
2) @ Orlando City SC on May 17
*The Galaxy will take on MLS newcomers Orlando City SC in May and make their very first trip to Central Florida.
3) @ New England Revolution on May 31
*A little more than a week after their match against Orlando, the Galaxy travel to New England to take on the Revolution in a rematch of the 2014 MLS Cup Final.
4) Vs. New York City FC on August 23
*In what could be the battle of DP's and possibly the debut of Steven Gerrard, the Galaxy take on NYCFC for the first time.
5) @ Seattle Sounders FC on October 4.
*The LA Galaxy against the Seattle Sounders? What more could you ask for.
It's officially official. Steven Gerrard is a member of the LA Galaxy.
The club announced on Wednesday morning that Gerrard will be joining the club upon the conclusion of Liverpool FC's 2014-15 English Premier League campaign and will be eligible to play for the club when the transfer window opens up in July. Per club and league policy, the details of the contract were not disclosed.
Los Angeles Times confirms Liverpool FC legend Steven Gerrard signing with the LA Galaxy on 18-month deal
Steven Gerrard is heading from Liverpool to Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times' Kevin Baxter reported on Wednesday that the LA Galaxy had finalized an 18-month deal with Gerrard for a reported $6 million a year. Gerrard will join the Galaxy in July after the conclusion of Liverpool's 2014-15 English Premier League campaign.
A player whose name is synonymous with the only club that he has ever played for, Gerrard admitted in an exclusive interview with Baxter that while the move was difficult, it was time for the former England captain to move on.
"The time's right for myself and my family for the change, for the fresh challenge. I've been here for a long time," Gerrard said in his interview with the newspaper. "I've given an awful lot back to this club. But I now feel it's the time for a fresh break and to try something different.
"I want to finish my career very strong. I want to add some more medals and trophies to my collection, so I think it's a match made in heaven, really," he later added. "One of the reasons why I chose the LA Galaxy was because of the success they've had recently. But also the plans for more success in the future."
In their own interviews with Baxter, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena stated the club "has a plan" for the Liverpool FC legend when he joins in July while club President Chris Klein called Gerrard a perfect fit for the defending MLS Cup champions.
"We just started thinking in the universe of players that are out there, we want to make a decision on what signifies a Galaxy designated player," team President Chris Klein said. "When we look at that, Steven Gerrard is the perfect fit with what he brings to us on the field and the character that he has off it."
LA Galaxy forward Bradford Jamieson IV named to U.S. U-20 roster for 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Bradford Jamieson IV has been named to the U.S. U-20 head coach Tab Ramos' 20-man roster for the 2015 U-20 CONCACAF Championship in Jamaica.
After being drawn into Group A, U.S. will open the tournament on Jan. 9 against Guatemala before facing Panama on Jan. 11, Aruba on Jan. 14, the host nation Jamaica on Jan. 18, and finally Trinidad and Tobago on Jan. 21. Only four countries will qualify from the tournament for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
Jamieson joins the team after playing a major role for USL PRO side LA Galaxy II and making his professional debut for the Galaxy in July 2014.

About 10,000 workers across the country, including about 500 Memphians, lost their jobs yesterday when McLean Trucking Co. filed for reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code. McLean, the nation's fifth largest trucking firm, is one of a number of trucking firms that have failed since the deregulation of the industry, which opened the roads to cut-rate, nonunion companies. A trucking industry observer warned that McLean's troubles could affect other trucking companies with operations in Memphis.

Better toilet and shower
We loved the short break, cleanliness was good but because it is with comfort I have scored low, the boat is old and we knew it was so we knew what we were getting, bed, toilets an shower were a trial. Next time we will have a newer boat with more comfort but as we booked late there was little choice, our fault. Boatyard great area great everyone so friendly this was our 3rd time will go again.

Having not been to an eye doctor in a few years, I wasn't sure what to expect. Everyone made me feel comfortable and informed each step of the process from the receptionist to Dr. Groff! I believe I received a very thorough examination, with all of the personnel being both friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this location!
All the employees/staff are exceptional people. They always give us a big welcome and take very good care of all our needs.
Where to beginI have been a contact wearer since grade school. I always wanted to have the freedom Lasik offered but was too scared to go through with the procedure. I could kick myself now. Dr.Yankelove was so kind and gentle and made me feel very at ease. He has an incredibly professional staff. If I ever had any other kind of vision issue I would go only go back to Dr. Yankelove. I am now a month out from my Lasik surgery and am truly amazed. I went on my honeymoon and my husband, who used to be the one with good vision, joked that I have laser eyes now because I could read/see things that before he could. Also, Dr, Yankelove was so kind and offered me several extra vials of eye drops so my eyes wouldnt get try on my long flight to Iceland. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Yankelove, his staff, and my experience. I got my procedure discounted by using a groupon, so if you see one for his office be sure to snatch it up!!
Dr. Yankelove is a very caring professional. He immediately put my husband at ease and answered all of his questions. My husband has Parkinson's and polymiositis. He is not an easy patient to deal with. He came through the cataract surgery without a bruise and seeing better than he has in years. I have already recommended Dr. Yankelove and will continue to do so. Imagine my surprise at 7:3O pm when the good doctor called to check on my husband!

Two of our Health Club employees Andrew Morrissey and Rob Crabtree took part in the Glyn-Neath Triathlon on Sunday 25th September. Rob, who has recently completed a very impressive half iron man race and is a seasoned campaigner of triathlons, was aiming for a top 10 finish, while Andrew who's a cyclist was aiming to survive.
The race started with a 400 meter indoor swim followed by a 22km cycle and a 3km run. Due to different expected times in the swim we were set off at different times.
Andrew was first to go, with swimming being his weakness he was dreading the swim and this showed. Having struggled through the swim he finally finished the 400m and first transition in just over 13mins. Andrew knew that he would pull a lot of time back on the bike and he did coming in just over 41mins and passing everyone who beat him swimming, however it should also be stated that Andrew dropped his glasses and Garmin while cycling and got stuck behind an annoying slow driver so lost a lot of time (this is not a excuse for Rob beating me just stating the facts and it will also never happen again). He then completed his 3km run in over 13 mins with a finishing time if 1 hour 8 mins coming in 42nd out of 128. "I did enjoy doing my first triathlon however I am very disappointed with my swim and bike; I will carry on swimming but will be concentrating on my bike for my return to France in June".
Due to Robbeing a far superior swimmer, he set off at a later time. He would be competing against athletes who spend 20-30 hours a week training and have completed Ironman competitions all over the world. Rob started strong in the swim setting a very good pace and putting half a length over his nearest rival. Having realised is pace was too quick he started to slow down, finishing the swim in 2nd place and transition in 7.51. Going into the race Rob knew that out of all three discipline cycling was the weaker but he put in his best performance (some would say lucky but very impressive) finishing 41 mins to stay in contention for a top ten finish.
He then set off on his run and finished in 12min 11secs giving him a overall finishing time of 1 hr 1 min, and coming 18th out of 128. "I was happy with my overall performance but felt that knowing Andrew was also racing I had to push myself to the limit and call on my experience . Overall both we happy to finish but both agreed they could have done better".

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

Car fans who have activated Timeline on their Facebook account will be able to use the "want" social plug-in on the Auto Trader site to show their friends the car makes, models and new cars they would like to own.
The Auto Trader app will share a person's wants with their friends through the Facebook news feed and ticker, although users are able to control who the app shares information with.
Depending on the performance of the "want" button Auto Trader may consider adding "own" or "used to own" plug-ins in the future.
Facebook previewed Timeline at F8 in September when it unveiled its new wave of social apps from partners such as Spotify and The Guardian. Those apps were available to users with the old Facebook profile, but all new apps will only be available with Timeline.
Ian MacDonald, head of consumer marketing at Auto Trader, said: "The social web has made the traditional 'peer opinion' that influences peoples' buying behaviour more important than ever.
"Auto Trader's Facebook integration enables people to quickly canvas the opinion of their friends, discover new cars, and make their Timelines even more reflective of their lives and ambitions.
"We will have a real-time indication of how in-demand a particular car is via the volume of people indicating that they 'want' that car. We're delighted to be making buying new cars a more social activity via our New Cars website."
Auto Trader had already integrated Facebook into its site by allowing sellers' cars to be seen in the Facebook Marketplace.
Other apps that launched today (19 January) include a fashion app from social shopping site Lyst and a podcast and radio mix app from Mixcloud.

Series: Country Report No. 15/51
Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa's economy is set to register another year of solid growth, although the expansion will be at the lower end of the range registered in recent years, mainly reflecting the severe impact of the sharp decline in oil prices on the region's oil exporters. In a context of tightening global financial conditions, the large fiscal and current account deficits that prevail in some countries could leave them vulnerable to a potential reduction in external financing. An uneven global recovery and domestic security-related challenges are also risks to the outlook. Against this backdrop, and beyond the immediate effects of the current shock, further progress toward diversification and structural transformation remains crucial to sustain high and inclusive growth, generate jobs for the rapidly growing young population, and foster integration into global value chains.
Building Resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa's Fragile States
Fragile states—states in which the government is unable to deliver basic services and security to the population—face severe and entrenched obstacles to economic and human development. While definitions of fragility and country circumstances differ, fragile states generally have a combination of weak and non-inclusive institutions, poor governance, low capacity, and constraints in pursuing a common national interest. As a result, these countries typically display an elevated risk of both political instability (including civil conflict), and economic instability (through a low level of public service provision, inadequate economic management, and difficulties to absorb or respond to shocks). Crises in such countries can also have significant adverse spillovers on other countries. In contrast, resilience can be defined as a condition where institutional strength, capacity, and social cohesion are sufficiently strong for the state to promote security and development and to respond effectively to shocks.
Pan-African Banking : Opportunities and Challenges for Cross-Border Oversight
Pan-African banks are expanding rapidly across the continent, creating cross-border networks, and having a systemic presence in the banking sectors of many Sub-Saharan African countries. These banking groups are fostering financial development and economic integration, stimulating competition and efficiency, introducing product innovation and modern management and information systems, and bringing higher skills and expertise to host countries. At the same time, the rise of pan-African banks presents new challenges for regulators and supervisors. As networks expand, new channels for transmission of macro-financial risks and spillovers across home and host countries may emerge. To ensure that the gains from cross border banking are sustained and avoid raising financial stability risks, enhanced cross-border cooperation on regulatory and supervisory oversight is needed, in particular to support effective supervision on a consolidated basis. This paper takes stock of the development of pan-African banking groups; identifies regulatory, supervisory and resolution gaps; and suggests how the IMF can help the authorities address the related challenges.
IMF Opens Africa Training Institute in Mauritius
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on June 26, 2014 opened the Africa Training Institute (ATI) in Ebene, Mauritius, adding an important regional center to a global network of centers helping to develop countries' policymaking capacity by transferring economic skills and best practices.

The success of outbound training can be attributed to the fact that it uses adult learning principles. Outbound training companies focus onAndragogy (adult learning) which emphasizes the value of the process of learning. It uses approaches to learning that are interactive, problem-based and collaborative rather than moralistic. It also accentuates more equivalence between the trainer and the participants. This science originated in Europe in 1950s and Malcolm Knowles, an American practitioner of adult education, promoted it in the 1970s. Knowles defined andragogy as "the art and science of helping adults learn". (Zmeyov 1998; Fidishun 2000).
What do you mean by 'adult learning principles'?
Knowles identified the six principles of adult learning:
In the Outbound Training Programs conducted by MMMTS, we use all the 6 principles listed above. These invaluable concepts of action and experiential learning - one's experiences serving as a learning tool - aim at consistently helping trainees gain immediate and powerful insights into their own and their team's work styles and behavior.
Out bound Training was developed by Dr. Kurt Hahn and was first tested in the turbulent waters of the North Sea during World War II, to provide young sailors with the experiences and skills necessary to survive at sea. Dr. Kurt Hahn, Founder of Outward Bound methodology, a philosopher outdoorsman believed that the outdoors provides a robust learning ground for city professionals. In Dr. Hahn's opinion there are 3 important benefits are of corporate team building events – first, compassion which helps in building interpersonal relationships, trust and bonding; the second, innovative and creative thinking; and the third, collective intelligence.
"The experience of helping a fellow man in danger, or even of teaching in a realistic manner to be ready to give this help, tends to change the balance of power in a youth's inner life with the result that compassion can become the master motive." – Dr. Kurt Hahn
The crux of OBT lies in taking a group of people to an unfamiliar environment in which they are given a set of challenges that they will have to solve with limited resources. The most important resource that they have is their group members in these outbound training programs. The core principle outdoor adventure trainingis that when a team is thrown together in unfamiliar settings, where they are interdependent on each other for survival, growth in the development of the team happens at a much faster pace.
In our outbound training programs, participants go through various outdoor activities in which they are required to face challenging situations as individuals and teams. This will help them see the importance of communication, leadership, teamwork, planning and delegation. Many consider this program as one of the best platforms for personality development, confidence building and team building.
One of the most unique aspects of outbound training is that trainees are immediately able to see the consequences of wrong actions and witness the tangible difference that can be made by a change in thinking and behavior. Our trained facilitators enthusiastically help them to extrapolate the learning from these outdoor activities to their workplace.
A list of topics in which the 'Outbound' methodology works well is given below:

Love this one!
By MAR
from PICKERING
This is my favourite tunic out of the 5 that I recently purchased on sale from this line.The Imagini line 'looks' like me. You know what I mean. LOLFabric weight is perfect; design printed on front AND back; longer length;perfect fit (I did size up because I hate tight clothes); vibrant colours.Not rated 5 stars because I'm waiting to see if the colour saturation isadequate for washing. Obviously I'm hoping that it won't fade too soon are meeting detergent and water.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When IMAGINI first came to TSC a few months ago I ordered one of their Sweaters & was really happy with the light weight of it & the fit. I ordered Beige in this one in XL as I don't like things too clingy or to emphasize the bust area.[I'm normally size 10-12]. Unfortunately, this particular design, maybe because the base colour is Beige didn't look good on me at all. The Beige also seems to have a yellow under-tone which I didn't like. I have sent it back but look forward to them bringing in new items for Spring. Would really like to see more Modern designs/pattern. I've seen their site & they do have some nice sweaters. Sometimes TSC is inclined to order so many florals in a few of the different lines they carry. I think this sweater would look great on someone a Size 8 or 6.

Pretty, comfortable tunic
By Renata
from BC
I ordered this tunic in the beige color and it goes very well with almost all of my slimmer pants. It is very soft and comfortable and I really like the stretch in the fabric. The pattern is very appealing and fashionable. I packed it for traveling and it was perfect.
Imagini Long Sleeve Tunic.
By Ms. Happy
from Winnipeg, Manitoba
I love this tunic. I ordered the beige one first. It is a perfect fit and the quality is fantastic. I liked it so much that I ordered the red one as well. Now I have two beautiful tunics that look and feel great. They are very comfortable to wear. You have to get this tunic. Both colours are fabulous. If you can, get both.

Lee's Summit, MO 64063
After a discussion on June 25 regarding the findings of the 2015 City of Lee's Summit Future of Environmental Programs Survey recently compiled by ETC Institute, the City's Environment and Natural Resources (E&NR) Committee is scheduled to discuss flow control at its next meeting on Monday, July 6 in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
Read more...
Lee's Summit City Hall, 220 SE Green St., and Lee's Summit Municipal Court, 10 NE Tudor Road will be closed Friday, July 3, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation's (LSPR) main office inside City Hall will be closed on July 3 and many of their facilities will either have reduced hours or will be closed on Independence Day (Saturday, July 4).
Across our community residents are reporting downed trees and limbs after the storm that swept through the metropolitan area overnight on June 25. Although the City does not pick up brush, residents are reminded brush can be taken to the Resource Recovery Park (RRP), also known as the landfill, at 2101 SE Hamblen Road. The landfill is open Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday (closed on the fourth of July) from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fees are $5.25 per cubic yard for residents (with Lee's Summit resident ID), or $13.75 per cubic yard for non-residents/commercial.
The City of Lee's Summit was recently recognized as one of the first cities in the region to attain a designation as a Solar Ready Community. Lee's Summit received silver level recognition from the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), which acknowledges the work the City has done to implement best management practices and undertake other actions to facilitate and encourage solar power installation. (Pictured is City of Lee's Summit Development Center Director Mark Dunning holding the plaque, which signifies Lee's Summit's designation as a silver level Solar Ready Community.)
As you celebrate Independence Day along with the City's Sesquicentennial, please do so responsibly, and follow the City's fireworks rules. Residents with a city permit may use approved fireworks on July 2nd and 3rd between the 10 a.m. and 11 p.m., and on July 4th between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight.

New research in the US seems to add further evidence to support the recent study in Canada (see blog), which called into question the level of cleanliness of reusable plastic containers.
New research in the US seems to add further evidence to support the recent study in Canada (see blog), which called into question the level of cleanliness of reusable plastic containers.
How can producers and retailers ensure that the food they transport and sell is safe and adequately protected from contamination? First stop is the packaging! According to a recent Canadian study, fruit and vegetables could be at risk from E. coli due to the poor sanitation of reusable plastic containers.
Over the summer we wrote about the Israeli inventor who created the first cardboard bicycle; a project many experts had considered impossible.
Well, Izhar Gafni and Nimrod Elmish of I.G. Cardboard are expanding on their first venture and developing cardboard wheelchairs!
Readers may want to postpone reading this until lunch as it will conjure up images of the Mediterranean and delicious grilled vegetables. The subject concerns Spanish vegetables and how they travel from sun-bathed fields to your local restaurant or dinner table.
Traditionally, farmers in Spain have sold their peppers, tomatoes and zucchinis at auction using 10kg plastic crates. After the sale, the vegetables are frequently repackaged into generic unbranded 5kg plastic boxes ready for shipment to the point of sale. This transfer increases damages to the produce, increases costs, and delays the transition from farm to fork.
If you play an active role in Europe's consumer goods supply chain, we recommend you read the Retail Forum's* latest issue paper on Packaging optimisation.
Considering the size and breadth of this market, the paper gives a concise overview of the life cycle of packaging as part of a product, backed up with some useful statistics and graphs which illustrate trends in production, consumption and waste.
Another new year, yet for many businesses the New Year carries over last year's challenges of continuously looking to reduce costs. Often simple solutions are the best ones and as you settle back into work after the break, this video by a Dutch potato processor might give you fresh inspiration to tackle your cost reduction goals.
Dutch potato processor Aviko needs to transport perfect potatoes all year around so the right packaging is critical.
At the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting in South Africa the "Durban platform for enhanced action" was announced. A roadmap towards a legal framework for a successor of the Kyoto Protocol is to be developed by 2015. As CO2 reduction is of major global concern it is not surprising that we are often asked what our own industry's intentions for a low carbon future are.
"The global amount of food waste is difficult to calculate, but approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of food, or one third of global food production is lost or wasted annually". This opening remark welcomed participants at the Combating Food Waste in the EU event in early November.
Lack of food for most Europeans is at the most a faded memory. We don't value food, we simply take the ability to produce and deliver more for granted. The chair closed his welcome by saying that 'food waste is a scandal and it's time to act'.
As we race towards the end of the year, concerns about sustainability are top of the agenda around the globe. In September we attended the International Year of Forests 2011 in the European Parliament. In early November, Brussels plays host to the event Combating Food waste in the EU, at which Corrugated of Course will be present.

The 2013 Annual Saturday After Thanksgiving Coke Ovens Run
We're going to do the Ovens again from Superior Nov. 30. Depending on the group and what we all decide to see, it's 50-75 miles of rocks. Stage at the Superior HS next to the tennis courts & leave the parking lot at 8:30.
If you have not been before, read the details below before comitting. The ride should be 5-6 hours. This is a very rocky, remote but very scenic ride. This not a beginer ride, deep sand, lots of rocks & there may be a suprise or two that could make the normal hard spots seem easy ;)
Expect a flat & be prepared with the skill & parts to fix your own. Bring plenty of water & snacks.
Please come prepared with a well prepared bike & riding gear. Everything back here is pointed, hard or both. The guys that do this ride evey year are a pretty talented lot & will be moving at a brisk pace & the rocks don't let up until we're back on the road.
Lunch at Los Hermanos afterwards. I've ridden it in under 3 hrs, but it's also taken more than 7hrs to get a group through

You know I'm IN! Fun times ahead.....
Shit! This becoming a hunter thing is getting in the way of some great rides! I'll be there in spirit.
Maybe a pre ride is in order? Just to make sure it's still passable.....
There will be a pre ride, probably the weekend before.
I'm in. :D
I just got done reading the 2 threads from last year and its my kinda ride. I have it written down on my calendar. :deal
I'm not gonna go get stranded again by you guys.
Ok, maybe I will!
Yea, I am IN!
I just can't pass up your Guy's shananagins!:deal Or is that the new Guy's that pulls those??:lol3 Or maybe it's me??:evil
We are going the right way, right?? Hitting Ajax mine first? If not going up Honda hill is something, well...I will save that for you all to determine... hehe.
This one time at Band Camp, I mean the 1st. annual Coke Ovens Run, it took us 12 hours and had to leave a BMW behind and ride out double, one guy broke his GS up so bad that it cost him over 3k to fix! As Buddy stated in the first post, this is not a beginner ride, unless you like pain. hehe....
Edit, 'Dos remember when Rob stopped and threw his old clapped out XR on the ground and turned it completely upsidedown to transfer gas from one side to the other and then could not get it started? Haha, good times...
Remember Zimmerman's brand new maiden voyage on that 690?
Word of advise, coming from experience, if someone offers up a "Bonus Route" quickly decline! This' gonna be good.
Ok, since no one else will be direct, I will. Alex, the warnings are for you. Plus, if you go on a 4play ride, especially the ovens, you have to have full protective gear.
There. Was that so hard!?
Who's Alex, and he doesn't wear fall down pads?:huh
After the Oven's he will I bet!:deal:D
You where on the first annual ride Don, that wasn't too fun. Remember that guy who crashed up his GS so bad? And when he went head first into that boulder? I thought he was dead.....The video was sick.
Don is right though, ATGATT!! Is a must and has saved my life!
Oh, I remember it well! http://advrider.com/forums/showthrea...ght=Coke+ovens
Russl was the guy who had to leave his bike on the trail overnight, and rick lee was the guy who kept crashing and couldn't pick up his bike.
Good times!
ATGATT is a good moto to ride and LIVE by. At least it helps from breaking a nail or two............:rofl
Hopefully, he now is going full ATGATT!!
Buddy is going to have his hands full this year.:lol3
He more than deserves someone else to pick up the slack this year. I nominate you all to do that.
I'm a delegator.
No more cat herding for me.... I fall down too much myself anyway.
It needs to be a good rider, like YOU!! Yea, that's it 'Dos for cat herder this year!! All in favor?
