Thoroughly deserves fighter of the month for beating up a Jnr Middleweight. This fraudulent hype job is handed a charity World title and now gets accolades for dominating smaller guys. Now he continues to pad that record by cherry picking feather fisted Ishida. A guy GGG will walk through to look like a world beater. Stop ducking the champions, stop accepting false awards that you didn't earn. The hype train is full steam ahead and plenty of suckers are jumping on-board.Posted February 11, 2013 7:13 pm

Nigerian Girl Caught Stealing Stripped Naked, Assaulted - Videoby Staff 13/10/2012 09:45:00 0 comments 4918 Views
Viewers discretion advised please. Most of us are just getting tired of 'these men', these higher animals who have decided to put the law into their own hands. These same men are the thieves at night, loitering around shopping centres to smartly snatch your phones.
These men are the ones who will catch a thief first because they are experts in the game and God help her if she is a female. The lady in question was caught stealing, so? What happened to our Police Stations? Some of us are tired of talking. ALUU is everywhere. These sex hungry looking men will do anything to molest a young lady at the slightest provocation. They even went to the extent of inserting an iron object into her private part. How barbaric? Is that the punishment for stealing? Watch the video after the cut.

Final days of Frank Lloyd Wright show jammed at MAM
About 10,000 people saw the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum on its final weekend.
Visitors jammed into the museum's reception hall and waited in lines that snaked down the long gallerias in order to buy tickets and then obtain entry to the show. Many museum staff were on hand, directing people to the right lines and, it seemed, signing up a lot of new members. »Read Full Blog Post
Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

New York Knicks (3-4) at Detroit Pistons (2-5), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - Carmelo Anthony is the NBA's second-leading scorer and looks to remain hot tonight, when the New York Knicks take on the Detroit Pistons from The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Anthony is currently battling a sore hip and is averaging 29.1 points on the season. Miami's LeBron James leads the league with 29.9 ppg.
New York got 37 points from Anthony in Friday's 99-96 victory over the winless Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center. Anthony, who is averaging 35 points over the past three games, buried a three-pointer with 15.5 seconds to go to keep the Wizards at bay, while Amare Stoudemire recorded a double-double with 23 points and 12 boards for New York, which ended a two-game slide and won for the third time this season (3-4).
"We were down 16, but we were not going to not play hard," said Stoudemire. "In the second quarter we took it upon ourselves to try and get the energy going and we did that."
Tyson Chandler had 12 points and 15 rebounds for New York.
Detroit has lost two in a row and fell to 2-5 on the young season following last night's 96-73 loss at Philadelphia in its home opener.
The Pistons, playing without guards Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey, were led by Greg Monroe's season high-tying 22 points. They fell to 0-3 on the road this season. Brandon Knight, Jason Maxiell and Will Bynum had 10 points apiece.
"They have one of the top three benches in the league," said Pistons coach Lawrence Frank. "[Thaddeus] Young is game changer and Lou [Williams] can score with anyone. It's gone from good to great with Evan [Turner's] improvement."
Gordon (personal) and Stuckey (groin) are questionable for Saturday. Gordon is averaging a team-high 16.2 points per game.
New York won two of three meetings with Detroit last season and has taken seven of the past 10 matchups between the teams. The Knicks, however, have lost 13 of the past 17 games at The Palace. Pistons guard Tayshaun Prince averaged 21.0 points in three games against the Knicks last season, while Stoudemire posted 30.0 points and 11.0 rebounds in those three games.

Originally written on The Victory Formation | Last updated 2/28/13
It has been a rough couple of years for now former New York Islanders goalie Rick Dipietro. He hit is professional bottom last week when the Isles waived him after being a member of the organization for the last 13 years. The former #1 overall draft pick in 2000 became a blackhole for the team due to his lack of play over the past several seasons. His contract became am an albatross, and it appears as if the Islanders will never have him play in New York, again. Dipietro is now playing in the AHL for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, an affiliate of the Islanders. He spoke with News 12 Long Island's Kevin Maher, and gave candid quotes to his emotional state, and his thoughts about the Islanders when they released him: DiPietro told me Isles waiving him felt like, "they ripped my heart out, stabbed it, set it on fire and flushed it down the toilet." — Kevin Maher (@KMaherNews12) February 28, 2013 It has been a rough few years for DiPietro, whose body has failed him. This was the cherry on top after struggling to gain ice time back, and having the fans turn on him. DiPietro [...]

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Q&A
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Question: Transmission shudder?
I have noticed a slight jerking sensation lately in my 2005 Silverado (4L60E reman by Jasper, under 10k), feels like a miss but don't have a check engine light, checked for trouble codes anyway and didn't have any. Does this sound like a tranny problem? - wasicu
Answer 1
Under what driving conditions do you feel the shudder? It is very possible to have a slight engine misfire that is not yet severe enough to set a fault code or turn on the check engine light on your 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. A misfire of this type would most likely be felt in 45-50 mph range, perhaps under light engine load conditions. - Oakman

A huge initial problem is that rape and sexual assault on campus are both poorly and non-uniformly measured.
When it comes to the increasing number of rape allegations leveled at Bill Cosby, the smoke is becoming impenetrable.
In July 2002, a jury found Thomas Kennedy guilty of three counts of rape, and he went away on a 15-year sentence.
late 14c., "seize prey; abduct, take by force," from rape (n.) and from Anglo-French raper (Old French rapir) "to seize, abduct," a legal term, probably from past participle of Latin rapere "seize, carry off by force, abduct" (see rapid).
Latin rapere was used for "sexually violate," but only very rarely; the usual Latin word being stuprare "to defile, ravish, violate," related to stuprum (n.), literally "disgrace." Meaning "to abduct (a woman), ravish;" also "seduce (a man)" is from early 15c. in English. Related: Raped; raping. Uncertain connection to Low German and Dutch rapen in the same sense.
early 14c., "booty, prey;" mid-14c., "forceful seizure; plundering, robbery, extortion," from Anglo-French rap, rape, and directly from Latin rapere "seize" (see rape (v.)). Meaning "act of abducting a woman or sexually violating her or both" is from early 15c., but perhaps late 13c. in Anglo-Latin.
kind of cruciferous plant (Brassica napus), late 14c., from Old French rape, from Latin rapa, rapum "turnip," from PIE *rap- (cf. Greek hrapys "rape," Old Church Slavonic repa, Lithuanian rope, Middle Dutch roeve, Old High German ruoba, German Rübe "rape, turnip"). Usually grown to feed sheep, an oil made from it is used in cooking (see canola).
rape (rāp)
The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse. v. raped, rap·ing, rapes

Professor Jay L. Westbrook
The National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges (NCBJ) has recognized prominent bankruptcy scholar Jay L. Westbrook, the Benno C. Schmidt Chair of Business Law at the University of Texas School of Law, with an Excellence in Education Award.
Judge John E. Hoffman, a federal bankruptcy judge for the Southern District of Ohio, presented the award—a large silver bowl—to Professor Westbrook at the NCBJ's annual meeting in Las Vegas in October. Hoffman currently serves as chair of the NCBJ's Endowment for Education, which funds bankruptcy research and education. To recognize outstanding contributions to bankruptcy education, the Endowment periodically presents an Excellence in Education Award.
"The NCBJ salutes Professor Westbrook for his dedication to advancing the public discourse regarding bankruptcy policy issues, for advancing the education of young scholars and students and for advancing the understanding of the intricacies of bankruptcy law," said Judge Leif Clark, a federal bankruptcy judge in the Western District of Texas in San Antonio who also teaches bankruptcy as an adjunct professor at UT Law School.
"Except for an award from my students, there is no honor that could mean more to me than this one," said Westbrook, an educator who also has served as a mentor to hundreds of UT Law graduates over the years. Westbrook also encouraged the UT Law School to sponsor continuing legal education programs for practitioners in the early 1980s, which developed into an annual conference that is widely considered the best bankruptcy CLE program in the state and now bears his name.
About Professor Jay L. Westbrook:
One of the nation's most distinguished scholars in the field of bankruptcy, Professor Westbrook has been a pioneer in this area in two respects: empirical research and international/comparative studies. Westbrook—who has twice been named the Outstanding Teacher at the Law School—also teaches and writes in commercial law and international business litigation.
Westbrook practiced in all these areas for more than a decade with Surrey & Morse (now part of Jones, Day) in Washington, D.C., where he was a partner, before joining the University of Texas law faculty in 1980.
He is co-author of The Law of Debtors and Creditors (Aspen, 4th ed., 2001), As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy and Consumer Credit in America (Oxford, 1989), and The Fragile Middle Class (Yale, 2000). He has been visiting professor at Harvard Law School and the University of London, and is a member of the American Law Institute, the National Bankruptcy Conference, and the American College of Bankruptcy.
He has served as a consultant to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. He was the United States Reporter for the ALI's Transnational Insolvency Project and co-head of the United States delegation to the UN (UNCITRAL) conference on cross-border insolvency. He is a director of the International Insolvency Institute and President of the International Academy of Commercial and Consumer Law.

Fabulous Fiction Firsts #181
In Chemistry for Beginners*, for Dr. Steven Fisher, the female orgasm is his life's work. At the brink of the breakthrough of a miracle drug that could cure female sexual dysfunction (think Viagra), one of his test subjects – Annie G is wracking havoc with his data, his scientific mind and his carefully guarded heart.
This engaging and smart, romantic comedy (no longer an oxymoron, thanks to Anthony Strong - a pseudonym for Anthony Capella) is presented in the form of a scientific paper, complete with footnotes (totally believable and absolutely hilarious) and illustrations. The uniquely contemporary male perspective, memorable quotes, satirical jabs at academia, clinical research, and the drug business will surely entertain. The tentative and problematic courtship is tantalizing (think D.H. Lawrence's Lady C.), at times heartbreaking, and oh so itchy sexy.
Easily the best romance of the year, from a newcomer to the genre. Best quote: "Sex is biology, love is chemistry". And some of the best sex scenes since Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.

Why are shoes on guys so important to you, girls?
Why are shoes on guys so important to you, girls?
Most Helpful Opinion
Haha it's never been a big deal to me. Maybe your girl in question is special in her case of wanting you to wear shoes so much.. Or it could be a number of things. Are you walking around in public barefoot? Maybe she's worried about the image your projecting and how it reflects on her, or about you stepping in something and getting ringworm, or maybe just about you possibly hurting or tearing up your feet. Or is it only at home that she doesn't like you barefoot? Do your feet smell? Do you have athlete's foot? Maybe feet just gross her out and she wants you to keep shoes on.
I guess for you to really know, you'll have to ask the girl in question.
What Girls Said 10
OMG, the shoes... they mean a lot.
My boyfriend was wearing these ugly HUGE skater shoes and he was 24. I thought that was gross, I'm SO GLAD he threw them UGLY sheos away. They looked so HUGE on him, he's trying to change his style of clothes and look more sophisticated and grown up and they just don't match! GEE! UGLY... but he wears jeans and dress shirts (mostly blue ones with lines, colar shirts and business casual for work). But I mean, those UGLY dim gray skater shoes were the ugliest things. Plus he hasn't skate in YEARS... so why need them? They made him look like a CLOWN, and he's super skinny (5'9 and 125) but whatever... you know? they just didn't match. Thank God he threw them away. He's now wearing super slim black and white pumas with everything, OMG looks so much better! I can't tell you how much BETTER it looks... but yeah. Ugly skater shoes -clown, little 14 year old boy, doesn't match outfits or his age... that's why!
shoes are very important !
i think that cool shoes like skater shoes, converse, timberland make guys look cool.
the most thing I care about in a guy's outfit is shoes!
I donno I feel that it tells a lot about the person ,it makes him look cool....i donno I just care about shoes so much .
truly shoes do not madder to me on a guy, but it shows what he likes. like if he wear sneakers, you can tell *most of the time* that he is up doing stuff and being kinda like active. if he wear cowboy boots, well I think that's plain obv. what the reason is besides he likes them. skateboard shoes, another obv. reason.

Health & Pregnancy
11 Things You Didn't Know About Twin Pregnancies
No. 4: Morning sickness may be worse with twin pregnancies.
"One of the things that is postulated as causing morning sickness is high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, and we know that levels of this hormone are higher in twin pregnancies, so women carrying twins have a higher incidence of nausea and vomiting in the first trimester," says Al-Khan. The good news? Most morning sickness abates within 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy -- even in twin pregnancies.
That's not all, Monga says. Moms pregnant with twins complain of more back pain, sleeping difficulties, and heartburn than moms who are carrying one child. Moms pregnant with twins also have a higher rate of maternal anemia and a higher rate of postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding) after delivery.
No. 5: Spotting may be more common during twin pregnancies.
"When you spot in the first trimester, you could be undergoing a miscarriage, and miscarriages are more common in mothers of twins, triplets, and quadruplets -- so we see more spotting in first trimester with multiples," Al-Khan says.
But a little spotting is no reason to hit the panic button even in twin pregnancies. "A little spotting in the absence of cramps is reassuring, but when you are cramping, passing clots, and actively bleeding, that is a sign that's something is happening and you should seek medical advice."
No. 6: You don't feel the babies kicking any earlier with twin pregnancies.
"Generally when you are pregnant with twins, fetal movements become more noticeable at weeks 18 through 20 of pregnancy, and the same is true in singleton pregnancies," Al-Khan says. When a woman begins to feel fetal movements actually depends on whether she has been pregnant before. "If you have been pregnant before, you know what fetal movement is, but if you are pregnant for the first time, you really can't distinguish the movement from gastrointestinal activity."

Women's rights advocates are now seeking international help to end a trend in Mexico where indigenous women are not allowed to give births in hospitals, forcing them to give births on lawns, patios or parking lots without any assistance while in labor.
At least 20 recent cases of women giving birth outside hospitals have been documented by activists working in villages in southern Mexico. And the reason cited for that was no room available for them. Anger is now palpable among people in Mexico and around the world for such irresponsible behavior of hospital staffs, which could severely risk the lives of mothers and their babies.
Mexican people have stood in outrage to end the life threatening trend, especially after photos and video of some incidents have been posted on social media sites.
Mexican health officials have defended themselves by saying that cases are isolated and unavoidable because of overcrowding and limited resources available at some rural health centers.
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights was called upon by women's advocates on Thursday, citing systemic problem of prejudice and callousness toward indigenous women in the Mexican public health system.
"These are not isolated cases. We have a pattern. We are not talking about one woman. There are many and nothing is being done to solve the problem", said Regina Tames, Director of the Reproductive Choice Information Group, a non-governmental organization based in Mexico City.
There is no denying the fact that most of the births occur without problems in Mexico's health system, but still there are hundreds of women who die unnecessarily every year during or immediately after giving birth, said Pablo Kuri Morales, deputy health secretary for preventive care. The situation accounts for a maternal death rate that is three times more than in the US. This is something for the government of Mexico to look seriously into, he added.

So, this is actually a question about me. DD has eczema, but I have hers under control for the most part, but I cannot for the life of me get mine under control. I have eczema on my eyelid, bad in one spot. It's about the size of a jelly bean. It's dry and itches like crazy. I'm nervous to put anything on my eyelid. I don't even wear eye makeup, except mascara. Is there anything I can do?

I'm a fan of Fistric, and I don't really want him to go. He's fun to watch, but he's never really proven to be more than a 3rd pair D. His mobility makes it questionable that he can be a Top 4. Last year, I actually though he was better picking when to rush and moving the puck.
Omark has questionable upside as well, but I think he has more value than Fistric.
If you look at them now, not considering potential, a borderline Top 6 winger with a ton of skill is worth more than a physical 5th or 6th D, IMO. For potential, a skilled Top 6 winger who can score and setup teammates is more valuable that a physical 2nd pair D, IMO. They're close in value, and maybe Edmonton's desire for size could make them do a one for one, but Omark's ability and potential is more valuable.

[Portland, OR] Darwin Day with Professor Massimo Pigliucci
Note: This is a global event that appears on all event calendars.
Center for Inquiry–Portland and the BIO student group at PSU.
Evolution, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and the Meaning of Life:
At some point or another we all deal with the big questions in life, questions that concern morality, justice, friendships, and relationships. Massimo Pigliucci, in his "Answers for Aristotle: How Science and Philosophy Can Lead Us to A More Meaningful Life" draws from the insights of Darwinian evolutionary biology, modern neuroscience, and timeless philosophical analysis to help us think about our existence and how to navigate it intelligently. Science provides us with answers as to where important aspects of human behavior come from (evolution) and how our brains process them (neuroscience), while philosophy helps us to reflect on the meaning of it all.
This event is free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by Center for Inquiry-Portland and the BIO student group at PSU.
Attendees are invited to join an informal social gathering after the event at Rogue Hall, a brew pub located at 1717 SW Park Ave.
The closest parking available (and free after 7) is in the parking structure on SW 6th and Harrison, but there are a number of additional parking garages around that area.

All Lou Lamoriello
by George Malik on 05/07/15 at 09:00 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons engaged in a lengthy conversation with Lou Lamoriello giving that the Devils' general manager is stepping aside to become the team's president:
The longest serving general manager in professional sport stepped aside the other day: The Era of Lou is officially over after 28 years of directing, nurturing, bossing, controlling, shaping the part-hockey team, part-hockey cult that has been the New Jersey Devils.
It has been all Lou Lamoriello, all the time in New Jersey. His team. His way. His brilliance. His penchant for victory.
Three times the Devils won the Stanley Cup. Twice they lost in the Stanley Cup final. Only the Detroit Red Wings have had more Stanley Cup success in Lamoriello's time on the job.
"I've been a lucky man to have been associated with the many great people and professionals we've had here over the years," said Lamoriello in a rare, wide-ranging interview. "They all knew what they were getting into here, where we value loyalty, confidentiality, commitment, having success, but paying the price to have success. Look at the people who have been through here — the Jacques Lemaires, Larry Robinsons, Pat Burns, Scott Stevens, Martin Brodeurs, Scott Niedermayers — a lot of them are gone, but still part of the fabric of who we are. The (Brendan) Shanahans, the (Slava) Fetisovs, they're still part of the Devils family. I don't apologize for what we've built here. But it was time, time to move on."

Will Lou Lamoriello Be Back With The New Jersey Devils?
by Paul on 04/23/15 at 12:13 PM ET
Comments (0)
Rich Chere of NJ.com answered some New Jersey Devils related tweets,
(Regarding is this Lou Lamoriello's most important summer): Has ownership weighed in on this, or is it more of a "should" than an "is"?
Devils owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer have not yet been made available after the season. Indications are that Lamoriello will get an opportunity to rebuild the team this summer, but the delay in the co-owners' state-of-the-team address makes you wonder if they are now pondering a GM change.

Deadline day Garrioch
by George Malik on 03/02/15 at 01:56 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch can only pen "'almost deal'" columns after today, so he's delivering a hum-dinger of a rumor wallop this morning. Among his trade deadline day ruminations:
A guy who isn't being talked about much who may be attracting a lot of interest is New Jersey defenceman Marek Zidlicky. Nobody is sure if Devils GM Lou Lamoriello would actually deal Zidlicky, but teams have been calling to see what the asking price is, just in case he does decide to make a move.
The Maple Leafs want to be the busiest team in the league Monday. They have been trying to deal almost their entire roster, but all eyes will be on captain Dion Phaneuf and wingers Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul. They've also, for the past two weeks, been shopping centre Tyler Bozak and his $4.2-million salary. Toronto has a chance to make this a significant day if they make moves.
The Montreal Canadiens set up shop in San Jose on Sunday night after a long flight that left at 11 a.m. The Habs have been steadfast in their search for a defenceman since the quest for help began. They were able to help their forward ranks by picking up Devante Smith-Pelley from the Ducks earlier this week in exchange for Jiri Sekac, but the thinking is GM Marc Bergevin isn't done. The Habs would like to get a defenceman and the belief is they've been eyeing Toronto's Roman Polak and Edmonton's Jeff Petry. Though teams have wanted draft picks in return, the talk is the Habs may be dangling goaltender prospect Zach Fucale, who was a second-round selection (No. 36 overall) in 2013.
Garrioch continues, reporting that the Sabres and Bruins may swing a Chris Stewart deal, that the Blues want to make some sort of impact and that Matt Beleskey is in high demand.

Report: Devils' finish won't affect Lou Lamoriello's job security
by George Malik on 02/28/15 at 03:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Newark Star-Ledger's Rich Chere is making quite the claim this morning:
How much clout do three Stanley Cup rings bring, even it's been 12 years since the last championship?
Enough, NJ Media Advance has learned, that Lou Lamoriello will remain the Devils' general manager, even if the team misses the playoffs for a third straight season and for the fourth time in five years.
Owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer have enough faith in Lamoriello's ability to return the Devils to Stanley Cup contenders that he will keep his position despite the belief by some critics that it's time to move on.
Both owners refused interview requests for this story, but people in the Devils organization familiar with their thinking say Lamoriello will stay on. Those people requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the club's front office personnel.

"Defense Has Never Changed…"- Lou Lamoriello
by Paul on 02/05/15 at 05:23 PM ET
Comments (0)
Rich Chere of NJ.com had his readers submit questions for the Devils and Lou Lamoriello answered most of them...
As the NHL game changes and gets faster, can the Devils' system and style of defensive hockey stay competitive? And how will you get fast, skilled, younger forwards without giving up our young prospects?
"I don't know what one means by 'the way the game has changed.' Defense has never changed and defense wins championships.
"Right now we have, in our system in our opinion, some outstanding young players. We just have to make sure they develop. Up front, we have to emphasize (acquire via the draft, etc.) forwards. I think our goaltending and defense is extremely solid going forward. We have to work at improving our offense, which comes through our forwards."

"We know the position we're in. We also know that you can get on winning streaks. Right now what we have to do is focus in on every game, all the details that have to be done, the systemic changes that are taking place and let the end result take care of itself.
"But there is no team in the National Hockey League that doesn't believe they want to make the playoffs or think they have the capability. You have to go on a streak. I said that last year. What we didn't do was go on a winning streak.
"We have to get a couple players back. Despite what our record was, we didn't have all our players here. It's been very tough. I say that right up front. But a decision was made by me to make a change.You can't apologize for doing what you think is right."

Questioning Lou Lamoriello
by Paul on 12/24/14 at 08:41 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Rich Chere of NJ.com,
"Do I personally feel it? Whatever pressure I have is what I put on myself," Lamoriello told NJ Advance Media. "I have to make whatever decision is right, in my opinion, for the best of the team. I can't allow anything to affect that whatsoever or I'm not doing my job."
Three Stanley Cups buys a GM a lot of leeway, but has Lamoriello missed the mark on his free agent signings, non-signings and trades over the past decade since the club last won it all in 2003?
Could he have signed Zach Parise long before the winger reached free agency and decided to go home to Minnesota? Or did former owner Jeff Vanderbeek's financial problems make that impossible?
Should he have let Paul Martin, David Clarkson and/or Brian Gionta walk?
Was there a way to keep Ilya Kovalchuk in the NHL? And did Lamoriello and the Devils have the power, persuasion and the finances to keep Scott Niedermayer and Brian Rafalski from leaving after the third Cup?
All valid questions.

Intriguing observations from the 'Hockey World' and 'Three Periods'
by George Malik on 12/19/14 at 01:37 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Edmonton Journal's Jim Matheson's main Hockey World column is a good read, discussing the post-firing life of coaches who rebounded in their own ways in Tom Renney and Rick Bowness, but his "Short Shifts" are probably more pertinent:
- St. Louis Blues phenom Vladimir Tarasenko, who just turned 23, has 20 goals on the year, but he might have scored 30 if he had shot more. He's got 113 shots but that only puts him seventh behind Ovechkin, Karlsson, Seguin, Giroux, Pavelski and Pacioretty. "He could be more selfish," said an NHL pro scout, marvelling at the Russian youngster's release. Tarasenko, who may get to the $5-million to $6-million per season range in a new contract this summer, has 16 even-strength goals, second only to Tyler Seguin's 17. "Twenty goals before Christmas? That's special," said teammate Steve Ott.
- If Vincent Lecavalier is playing right wing with Zac Rinaldo and French rookie Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in Philly, this is the end of the line for him, no?
- It should be noted that Roberto Luongo has a much better (2.35) goals-against average and way higher (.925) save percentage than Ryan Miller (.267) and .900 in Vancouver right now, but Miller has 16 wins. His team gives him way more run support than Luongo's (11 wins) in Florida. Miller's numbers are five-alarm stuff, but he is in the first year of a three-year, $18-million deal and he's 34, not, say, 28.
This is probably true of more general managers (and coaches) than not, too:
-New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello is almost always around his team, home and away, but he knows exactly what's going on with his farm team and their prospects. "He gets tapes of the games and the practices," said former Devils defenceman Mark Fayne.
Matheson continues, and while we're doing short quips and quotes, Yahoo Sports' Nicholas J. Cotsonika penned a superb "Three Periods" column discussing the Blue Jackets' resurgence and Patrik Elias' pluck, but the "Third Period" sticks:

Mike Cammalleri and New Jersey, a perfect fit?
by George Malik on 08/17/14 at 04:42 PM ET
Comments (0)
This past July brought more than a couple of eyebrow-raising free agent signings, but the New Jersey Devils' signing of Mike Cammalleri to a 5-year, $25-million contract was my biggest "WHAT?" moment. Today, the Hockey News's Ryan Kennedy explains why the unlikely marriage occurred:
"He played with an edge and had results," [New Jersey Devils GM Lou] Lamoriello said. "He's very diligent and he competes. When you see that in a player, it naturally sticks out. When we were looking at the potential free agencies and the type of player we needed, we felt we needed a scorer. Mike stood right out, and he was one of the top players we looked at, if not the top player."
The money and especially the term were a huge vote of confidence to Cammalleri, who says the courtship lasted longer than the free agent negotiating period. His best years are behind him, but he remains a useful scorer who can play among the top six forwards. The Devils are taking a leap of faith on him, but it works both ways.
"What attracted me to the Devils was the success they've had, the template, the way they do things," Cammalleri said. "I have a belief in how things are done that leads to successes."

Devils will lose money for this upcoming season, but that's not bad news
by George Malik on 08/16/14 at 02:22 PM ET
Comments (0)
Via Pro Hockey Talk's Dhiren Mahibian, the Bergen Record's Tom Gulitti reports that the New Jersey Devils will lose money for the 2014-15 season...
Unlike the team's financial struggles under the Jeffrey Vanderbeek adminstration, however, the fact that the Devils are going to lose money this season is actually good news.
Gulitti reports that "new" owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer are spending a significant amount of money cleaning up the legal messes Vanderbeek left them, and they're also investing a good chunk of money in growing the Devils' "business brand," reestablishing ties with local businesses and significantly bolstering the team's hockey operations personnel:
[O]n the business side (non-hockey operations), O'Neil says the team had just 76 employees immediately following the sale. Blitzer said the number is "more than double" that now after O'Neil has spent the last year building up his department to put it in a position to be better able to grow the business of the Devils.
"You just didn't have personnel there," Blitzer said. "It wasn't like anyone was doing anything negatively in that sense. They literally did not have positions filled that were entirely necessary to run a business like this. We kind of found that a little bit shocking in terms of how depleted it was at the time we went in."

New Jersey Devils still willing to employ Martin Brodeur…if he's willing to wear a suit
by George Malik on 08/16/14 at 01:06 PM ET
Comments (0)
Via SI's Allan Muir, New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello has every intention of employing Martin Brodeur should the legendary goaltender not find the "right fit" with a championship-contending team, but the Newark Star-Ledger's Steve Politi reports that Lamoriello's standing offer involves a front-office job:
What happens if Brodeur gets to a point where he realizes the right fit isn't there? Lamoriello has the answer. The longtime Devils GM said Brodeur has a job waiting for him with the Devils if he decides to stop playing.
"He knows that," Lamoriello said. "He knows he'll be a Devil for the rest of his life. What Marty has done and the type of personality he is, and what his experience is, it's a no brainer. He's a Devil."
But Lamoriello wonders: Does Brodeur want to work? He's been around enough great players to know that this is not always the case.

"Marty and I have come to an agreement that is best for both himself and the organization, and there's nothing negative about that. Marty knows what it is to be a No. 1 goalie and to have that feeling, and that's what he wants. Cory (Schneider) feels the same way.
"I think it's time to move forward, but never negate what Marty has brought [to the Devils], nor was the door ever shut. It was a mutual understanding of what was best for both parties. Marty will always be a Devil and the communication with him is still there, even recently."

Lou Lamoriello Not A Fan Of The UFA Open-Talk Period
by Paul on 06/28/14 at 02:21 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger,
"It was a distraction, to be perfectly honest," Lamoriello said Saturday. "It distracted everything you had to do."
Lamoriello said he wasn't surprised that there were fewer trades than expected.
"If there was anything that was going to happen, it was going to happen right away," he said. "This has been a very peculiar week, as far as free agency, the draft and then the signings of your own players. You're divided in so many different directions. I think everybody said, 'Let's focus on the draft.' "
The GM said the discussion period, which ends Monday, will inflate free agent prices.
Asked if the Devils will be active in signing free agents beginning noon on Tuesday, Lamoriello said: "We'll talk. As far as what the results will bring, I couldn't tell you."

They really know what is necessary to win and what it takes. Everyone wants to win but not everyone knows how. They're creative, they're intuitive and they want to get an edge in every way they can. I'm comfortable with that and I'm honored to be here and stay here in New Jersey with the New Jersey Devils."

Everyone who has played with him the last couple of years and also the coaches have been complimentary toward everything he has done. There is no question he can help us on the power play."
"He is a well-conditioned athlete and we are happy with what he is going to bring."
"He is still a top six forward."

Lamoriello Embarrassed By The Current Status Of The NHL

from Rich Chere of theStar-Ledger,
"It's coming down to the wire right now," Lamoriello said. "We've just got to trust the people that are involved. I'm embarrassed we are where we're at. That's the best expression I can use."
He didn't want to think it would take this long.
"I really didn't know. Like everybody, I hoped not," Lamoriello said, "but we are where we are right now and we're getting to the 11th hour. I'm just hopeful everything can work out."
In past lockouts, Lamoriello has taken an active role in negotiations, but that hasn't been the case this time.
"I'm not involved the way I was in the past. I can't answer why," he said.

Marty And Lou

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
It's difficult to really ascertain who begat who.
Did Lou Lamoriello make Martin Brodeur, or did Brodeur make Lamoriello? Did Brodeur become the game's greatest goalie because he became part of Lamoriello's New Jersey Devils, or has Lamoriello already taken up residency in the Hockey Hall of Fame because he had the best between the pipes for so many years?
This much is certain. Both men, together through years of glory, and then through the last nine years of trying to figure out why they couldn't win again before arriving, surprisingly, in this Stanley Cup final against the similarly surprising Los Angeles Kings, remain as firmly connected as ever.
Their careers and hockey destinies haven't just intersected or become intertwined; they have been nearly fused for 20 years. Players and coaches have come and gone, and then come back again (the Devil you know ...) in some cases.
The goalie and the GM, however, have remained like stone pillars.

Praise For Lamoriello
by Paul on 05/27/12 at 08:09 AM ET

from Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News,
Somebody comes up to Lamoriello, shakes his hand, says, "I'm a great admirer of your work."
Lamoriello smiles and says, "You ought to know that we work real hard at that work."
Like his hockey team. For a long time. Run by a guy who took it over a quarter-century ago without any experience as a player or coach or general manager in the National Hockey League and made something lasting and real and great out of what was a joke at the time, one of the lost-boy franchises, an afterthought even in Jersey.
Made it into the San Antonio Spurs of the NHL.
Lamoriello looks at his phone the other night and sees a message from his friend Bobby Valentine. Before the night is over the Devils are up 3-2 in games and Friday night they beat the Rangers, 3-2, and they go try to win another Stanley Cup for Lamoriello, and the Rangers do what they have done since their greatest hockey spring, in 1994, and that means they go home.

It All Starts With Lou

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
He has been in the same job, same team, caring about the same three things—winning, family and the Devils, and not necessarily in that order. Maybe Glen Sather has been around the NHL longer, just not in the same place, and nowhere near as consistent.
Lamoriello is in Year 25 on the job: No one else in the game has been a GM longer than 14 years.
And few have experienced anything close to his success.
The Devils are in the playoffs, again, which is where they have been for 21 of his 24 seasons (the lockout stole one year) running the club. He's missed the playoffs three times, once fewer than his one-time protege has missed in almost four seasons in Toronto.
"The first time was in our second season," said Lamoriello, who turns 70 in October. "The second time came after we won our first Stanley Cup, and we learned something from that. The third time was last year and that was all my doing. I put a coach (John MacLean) in a position that was unfair. That one was all on me."

Salary Cap Shenanigans
by Alanah McGinley on 08/03/11 at 02:23 PM ET
Comments (6)
From Jeff Marek's The Sheet at Sportsnet:
So let me get this straight: Front loading a contract that includes dead years at the end where the player has zero intention of playing (Ilya Kovalchuk) for cap relief was a violation of the "spirit" of the salary cap, yet trading for a player with zero intention of him ever playing (Trent Hunter) with the sole purpose of buying him out for cap relief isn't?
I know they're different, but at the end of the day there are still plenty of ways to get around the salary cap in the NHL and New Jersey, it seems, has tried all of them. Interesting too when you consider that Devils GM Lou Lamoriello helped craft the current CBA. New Jersey has four players on the books this season with buyouts: Andrew Peters, Trent Hunter, Colin White and Jay Pandolfo.

What can you say about the importance of Zach Parise to the organization and the importance of re-signing him?
"I don't think I can say anymore than anybody else can say. He's an integral part, has been since he's been here and in everybody's mind he will continue to be that. So, we'll do everything we possibly can as expeditious as possible."
Have you begun your coaching search yet or are you still doing your end-of-season evaluation before moving forward?
"Everything is being addressed at different times. You certainly don't put anything on the shelf if you can address it. It's an ongoing process in all areas."

With Mottau Still Available, Devils Have Options
by Michael Smith on 09/19/10 at 07:35 PM ET
Comments (0)
Though Lou Lamoriello still has his work cut out to get the New Jersey Devils under the $59.4-million salary cap, one area with a little flexibility might be the blueline.
While no GM would want to give up a player like Bryce Salvador, rumored by many to be one of those moved for salary relief, knowing that an insurance policy like Mike Mottau is waiting could help ease the blow.
On Friday, Lamoriello wouldn't rule out the possibility of a return for the former Hobey Baker-winning Boston College alum.

Lamoriello Won't Accept Early Round Exit

from Mark Everson of the NY Post,
"The standards here are very high—it's not something that will be accepted," Lamoriello said. "It's three years in a row. It's not something you can hide. We have to look at it.
"Was this team playoff-built? There's no question in my mind it was. It didn't get it done. Start with the specialty teams. One team did it, one team didn't.
"You can't put any blame on goaltending. We've got goaltending."
Lamoriello said he had high hopes for this team, which earned a 13th straight playoff berth, won a ninth Atlantic Division title, topped 100 points (103) for the 12th time and won its fifth Jennings Trophy for fewest goals-against.
"This team had the ability and potential to go a great distance," Lamoriello said.

Lamoriello Has Mellowed Over The Years
by Paul on 11/10/09 at 09:51 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
"I called Lou's room,'' said Brian Burke, then a pugnacious, 185-pound Friar forward, recalling a memory of more than 30 years ago. "And I said, 'Coach, you're not going to believe this, but some guy's got a bunch of dogs outside here . . . they're making a real racket, and there's no way we'll get to sleep.' Lou screams, 'What?!' then says, 'I'll be right there!' and hangs up.''
Burke and his fellow Friars then turned their attention back outside, watching gleefully from their hotel rooms as the diminutive coach from the Dominican Friars college located in Rhode Island's capital - dedicated to a "spirituality that embraces the whole person'' as its stated mission - transformed into a ferocious bulldog.
"Lou's out there screaming at the guy, 'What's this! Pack these dogs up . . . get 'em outta here!' '' said Burke. "The poor slob . . . didn't know what hit him . . . and he gives Lou some lip. That really set Lou off. 'Look,' Lou screams, 'you've got five minutes to get these bleepin' dogs back in their boxes, get 'em outta here. Five minutes! And if you don't, I'm telling you, I'll start strangling them, one by one, with my bare hands!' The guy had to think Lou was nuts. No question. But you know what? He got outta there, dogs 'n all.''

Lamoriello On Sutter

from Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger,
So, instead of insisting that Sutter sit out a year while still under contract, Lamoriello decided to move on. He granted Flames GM Darryl Sutter permission to sign Brent with no strings attached.
"You know once you give consent, because of the new rules in the NHL there is no recourse and no compensation," Lamoriello told me Tuesday afternoon. "I certainly believe there should be compensation in situations like this for all the obvious reasons, but there isn't. That's a league rule and you accept it."
Lamoriello doesn't believe Brent Sutter had this type of a defection in mind during last season.

from Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News,
For all the grumbling around here about the Sabres losing Chris Drury and Daniel Briere — who, me? — the Devils endured much the same last summer with center Scott Gomez and defenseman Brian Rafalski.
No matter, the Devils entered the weekend a point from the Eastern Conference lead, tied with Montreal and Pittsburgh, with a retooled lineup and rookie coach Brent Sutter. Out with the old, in with the new, back in contention.
"What you do, in a sense, is structure your own market," Lamoriello said recently by telephone. "I've always said we have a five-year plan that changes every day." Some concept.

Chatting With Lamoriello
by Alanah McGinley on 02/21/08 at 05:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Tom Gulitti at Fire & Ice,
Was there a sense of whether there's going to be an active market at the trade deadline?
"No, I didn't get a sense of that. I also saw statistics which were very interesting as far as the number of trades that transpired last year as compared to two, three, four, five years ago. (They were) very similar.
"But the trading deadline and (making) trades is always determined by who are buyers and who are sellers, but before you can be a buyer or a seller you have to have someone who has the potential of being out of the playoffs. And right now if you look at the points in each conference, you can see that if you go on a three-game winning streak or a four-game losing streak, you can find yourself on one side or the other. It think a lot will be determined very close to the trading deadline when those decisions have to be made with individual people with their free agency. Do I think there will be movement of players who are not free agents? Unless it's a pretty big deal for both sides, I would be surprised at this point. It would have happened already."
much more... of an interesting conversation with Lou Lamoriello Wednesday night, discussing everything from trade rumors to rule changes discussed at the GM meetings in Naples this week.

Technology Can Screw Up Your Hockey Game
by Alanah McGinley on 12/05/07 at 12:04 AM ET
Comments (0)
Tom Gulitti at Fire & Ice asked Devils' GM Lou Lamoriello, "What's Wrong with the Ice?"
Lamoriello said the problem has been with a malfunctioning computer that is supposed to regulate the ice's temperature, hardness, etc. These things can be affected by numerous factors: the outdoor temperature, humidity, being covered for basketball games, concerts and other events. For Sunday's game against Atlanta, they turned off the computer and changed the settings manually. The idea, however, is to get the computer working properly.
"We've been talking to CIMCO and had people from the NHL here to work on (the ice)," Lamoriello said. "This is the best system in the country. There's no excuse not to have the best ice. We're completely comfortable that this is all going to get straightened out."

Devils In A Funk

Comments (0)
from Stan Fischler at Game On,
If ever Lou Lamoriello and his rookie coach Brent Sutter had a challenge on their hands, they do now, TODAY, Saturday, as they take on the Flyers this evening in Philadelphia.
Following a pair of home losses to the Rangers and then Islanders, New Jersey has a team that struggles to score goals at even strength and is egregiously futile when they have a man advantage.
On top of it all, they seem to lack overall zip over a 60-minute period, and remarkably, invariably suffer a bad break.

Loving life, just want to share it as well :)
I'm recently divorced, and from a tiny town, hince why I'm doing the online thing. (I've also ran across some of my locals on here already!) I have 2 small children, boys, & own my own business part time & also have a separate part time job, so I rarely have time to go out meet new people. I'm extremely out-going, a people person for sure. I love music, movies, cooking, calm nights at home. But, I also love a reason to get dolled up go out. I like being outdoors, I'm from a small town so we sometimes have nothing better to so than throw a bonfire, it truly doesn't matter what you're doing as long as you love the people you're with. I'm open to new things, I'll try anything once. As far as what I'm looking for in another person, that's hard to pinpoint. I don't feel I have a type. I like everyone, I look for an immediate click with someone - usually their sense of humor is what gets me hooked. I need someone who can make me laugh! I always tell the truth, I expect that in return. Most importantly I've learned recently my ideal man would be a Christian. If a man is the leader of a family I'd like mine to be led in the right direction. Don't let that sentence scare you, I'm in no rush to remarry. I'm all for a blind date to get to know someone & if we find we aren't right for each other we've at least gained a new friend. I can't see the emails you try to send I can't write my personal info on here but I will say I am on the most popular social network site and my last name is Harrington if you'd like to message me there.

My favorite things are spending time with family, fishing, hiking & running. Watching my brothers play baseball. Doing something new gives me a rush.
For fun I usually like to draw & paint. I love doing furniture flips & redecorating. Cooking new things. I really enjoy finding new music I've never heard & going out to hear local bands. I am addicted to redbox, I rent movies constantly.
I rarely read but I have a lot of books on my list that I want to check out. Heaven is for real is at the top of that list.

NBA owners, players to meet Wednesday afternoon
Nov 9, 2011, 10:45 AM EDT
You knew — or at least hoped — the two sides would sit down one more time and talk before David Stern's self-imposed deadline.
We'll see if it does any good, but the two sides will meet around 1 p.m. Eastern in New York according to multiple reports (ESPN's Chris Broussard broke it).
The league is working on getting some owners to fly in for the meeting, according to Marc Spears at Yahoo.
Heading into the meeting the owners have put an ultimatum on the table, a take-it-or-leave-it offer that Tuesday the players said they would leave. The players want a few more tweaks to the system side and they would meet the owners at a 50/50 split of revenues (which is not really 50/50 because the owners take $600 million plus off the top, but we'll let that go for now).
The ball is in the owners' court. They can give a little more on system issues and allow a little more player movement and room for teams that want to spend to spend, or they can scuttle these talks and try their rollback offer that will almost certainly cost the entire season if they stick to it. It's time to make a deal.
We'll see if it happens, but at least they are talking.

The Owners have to police themselves and look to themselves to right their own inefficient members of their rank

The players said that they would leave the offer knowing that the next one will be substantially less? This is why they play basketball, and don't make real business decisions.
Honestly, if my company was making me rich for playing a game I'd be grateful for the oportunity for as long as the system was solvant. So with that I'd say shut the hell up, and play ball. Instead the union cries about wanting more after it was shown that some teams are actually operating in a deficit.
Meanwhile, unions that actually do something (and I use that term loosely) for the average worker are given a black eye because of the farces that are sports unions.

I would like Kurt Helin to explain the difference between being a "hardliner" and being "principled".
