And then, of course, there is religion. Some are desperate to insinuate Cho as a deranged warrior for Christ. But Cho had "Ismail Ax" written in red ink on his arm. Ismail is the Muslim spelling of Ishmael, which has caused others to speculate that Cho was another Johnny Taliban. But then, he spelled the name Ishmael - the common Western spelling - on the return address of the package he sent to NBC.
That package also contained a multimedia suicide note in which Cho both denounced Christianity and put himself in the role of Jesus Christ, even as he struck a mimicking pose possibly lifted from a Korean action movie and carried on like one of the professional wrestlers he so admired.
His execrable writings contain countless allusions to pedophilia and abuse so offensive that even his presumably sophisticatedly desensitized classmates refused to read them. His video testimony contains quasi-Marxist denunciations of materialism.
In short, this deranged young man had a maelstrom of demons swirling about him. But partisans want us to pick one all-explanatory demon.
With the light of hindsight, some say the warning signs should have been spotted. But this assumes that strange and disgruntled people are a rarity and that all of them are candidates to become mass murderers. The reality is almost exactly the opposite. Strange minds and tortured souls are all around us, particularly on college campuses.
Shall we now have the psychological equivalent of the zero-tolerance mania that causes children with aspirin to be carted off by police? Shall we unleash the white coats on every misanthrope and muttering grudge holder?
I confess, I've played the game of trying to find meaning in tragedy more than once myself and I probably will again. But not this time. Not with Cho. The only meaning I can find supported by the horrific, heartrending evidence is that once again the mystery of evil has been corroborated, the permanence of tragedy confirmed.

Here are your "Leftgovers" from the Nashville Predators game on Tuesday night against the St. Louis Blues… — LEFTOVER THOUGHTS: * Martin Erat returned to the Nashville lineup after missing the San Jose game with an injury sustained in practice. * He would garner second star honors after posting three points. * Matt Halischuk – who had 15 goals for the Predators last year — was scratched in favor of Rich Clune. * The coaching staff would be rewarded for that decision as Clune scored his first career NHL goal. * Clune's marker proved to be the game winner. * Colin Wilson's three-point performance was his first such feat since December 1, 2011 against Vancouver. * It was Wilson's third three-point night of his career. * Nashville took just three shots in the second period. Scored on two of them. * Rinne made 10 saves while the Blues were on the power play. * St. Louis' Jake Allen came into the game in relief of starter Brian Elliott. * It was Allen's first career NHL appearance. * Som

Great plains producers could profit from spring canola cropsNovember 1st, 2013 by Ann Perry in Biology / Other
ARS scientists used data from this canola study in Akron, Colorado, to measure the crop's water use and yield and to validate a computer model to assess the potential profitability of future crops grown in Colorado. Credit: David Nielsen
Farmers in the semiarid central Great Plains have traditionally used a 2-year, no-till, dryland, winter wheat/fallow cropping system, which stretches scarce soil water supplies and minimizes crop failure from water stress. Now they are interested in growing crops during the fallow period, using water normally lost to evaporation.
To help assess production options, Agricultural Research Service agronomist David Nielsen is developing models that calculate the probability of raising profitable crops of spring canola, which produces seed oil that can be used to produce biodiesel. Nielsen works at the ARS Central Great Plains Research Station in Akron, Colorado.
Nielsen partnered with soil scientist Liwang Ma, research leader Laj Ahuja, and crop scientist Saseendran Anapalli, who all work at the ARS Agricultural Research Systems Unit in Fort Collins, Colorado. They began by adapting the CROPGRO computer model, which simulates plant growth processes under different weather, soil, and crop management conditions, to simulate spring canola production.
The team then added this CROPGRO canola cropping systems model to the Root Zone Water Quality Model 2 (RZWQM2), which was developed at Fort Collins. RZWQM2 simulates the effects of management on plant growth and the movement of water, nutrients, and chemicals within and around crop root zones. The researchers ran the combined model with 16 years of regional weather data, four different soil water levels at planting time, and other site-specific information to generate spring canola yield estimates for nine locations in Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas.
The team found the simulated yields were consistent with regional precipitation and temperature patterns, factors that led to the highest average yields in the north-central area near Champion, Nebraska, and the lowest in the south-central area near Walsh, Colorado. When 75 percent of the soil water was available for crop use at planting, the model indicated that six of the sites had more than a 70-percent probability of producing a canola seed yield of at least 900 pounds per acre.
Using the average simulated yields at each location, the researchers ran an economic analysis that projected net returns. This analysis indicated that the most profitable location for canola production was Champion, with average net returns ranging from $67 to $189 per acre, depending on plant-available soil water levels. Simulations produced positive average net returns for five sites—Champion, Nebraska; Garden City, Kansas; McCook, Nebraska; Sidney, Nebraska; and Tribune, Kansas—even when only 25 percent of the soil water was available for crop use at planting.
Nielsen used these simulation results with Microsoft Excel to develop a simple decision-support tool for canola production and economic analysis.
"We need to carry out field studies," says Nielsen. "But farmers could use this decision-support tool to calculate the probability of producing the minimum spring canola yield they need to turn a profitâor they could use the seed oil they produce for their on-farm biodiesel production to run tractors and other equipment."

Full text not available from this repository.
Although a mixed strategy can never be evolutionary stable in a truly asymmetric contest, examples show that mixed strategies can satisfy the weaker criterion of neutral stability. This paper shows that such examples are rare, and, generically, a mixed strategy is unstable. We apply our result to the battle of the sexes between males and females over the raising of offspring.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
In this exciting new recording of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and The Bells, Sir Simon Rattle and his renown orchestra, the Berliner Philharmoniker, perform these two late masterpieces. Toward the end of his life, Rachmaninov said of The Bells "I worked on this composition with feverish ardor; and it remains of all my works the one I love the most." Of the Symphonic Dances, written shortly before his death, he said "I don't know how it happened, it must have been my last spark." This recording offers a rare chance to hear Sir Simon Rattle's interpretations of these great works.
BBC Music Magazine, November 2013
This Bells may be unsurpassable...The three soloists are superb, even if Dmytro Popov is a more heroic tenor than usual and Luba Orgonasova plays firm matriarch at the wedding rather than young bride. Mikhail Petrenko's bass is another quality voice, prefaced and mirrored by the most human cor anglais solo I've ever heard....a remarkable achievement.
Gramophone Magazine, October 2013
Lucid detail, refined shaping, polished instrumental solos and a shrewd way with texture and rhythmic ebb and flow contribute to an interpretation as astutely conceived as it is vital in execution.
MusicWeb International, 22nd September 2013
Rattle's account of The Bells is very impressive: he has three excellent soloists and the choral and orchestral contributions are first class...I'm equally taken with his reading of the Symphonic Dances...the Berlin playing is simply fabulous...These are two of Rachmaninov's greatest works and Simon Rattle has done them proud with this exciting disc.
Sunday Times, 1st September 2013
[The Bells] was an astonishing first for the orchestra, which is perhaps why it sounds so fresh-minted here...The Symphonic Dances get sonic luxury from the Berliners. It's hard to imagine the slow movement's famous alto-sax solo more hauntingly played.
The Arts Desk, 24th August 2013
The choral singing [in The Bells] combines agility and heft - the third movement terrifies. Good soloists too - notably bass Mikhail Petrenko. Rattle's characteristic ear for detail rarely derails the forward momentum...Rattle's new Symphonic Dances take a while to work their magic...But you're slowly won over.
The Guardian, 15th August 2013
[The Bells'] vivid palette of orchestral colours suits him and the Berlin Philharmonic, while careful engineering eases the problems of balance...Rattle doesn't always give the music its head in a way that a Russian conductor might, but the performance is carefully calibrated and full of brilliantly focussed detail.
The Times, 24th August 2013
Rattle keeps luxuriating, basking in the long-legged melodies, idling lovingly over phrases, wrapped in a full and warm recording. The more brittle elements in rhythm, gesture and orchestration have a hard time getting heard. This isn't a problem with the later recording of the companion work, the choral symphony The Bells.

It's a week of diss-repealing; after Katy Perry vehemently denied dissing Beyonce and Shakira, The Black Keys have jumped on the bandwagon to sort-of-but-not-really apologize to Nickelback for dissing them earlier this year. Keys drummer Patrick Carney controversially, and now famously, said of Nickelback, "Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world," but now he's a little bit sorry about his harsh words, but not really. Carney has now said he, "Didn't mean to single [Nickelback] out. It just came out," but added a disclaimer, "There's much worse bands than Nickelback, maybe." Worst. Apology. Ever. Come on Keys — time to cure that foot-in-mouth disease, we think!

Gulf Coast "Tidal Tongue Twisters"
4th Grade Activity - Teacher Directions
Students learn about coastal wildlife and create tongue twisters.
A familiar tongue twister known to all is: "Sally sells seashells on the seashore!" There are certainly many seashells, particularly the state shell, the Lightning Whelk, which can be found on the shores along the Gulf of Mexico. But what about the other living things found in this region? Sea turtles, alligators, fiddler crabs, spoonbills, and other waterfowl, not to mention palm trees!
Language Arts: Composition, Alliteration
• Paper
• Pencils
- Review information about this region with students.
- Incorporating the new knowledge students have gained, ask them to create tongue twisters about the region or the wildlife found within.
Example: The state seashell is seen on the seashore!

Student debt has been in the spotlight lately for several reasons.
Among them, the tough time some college graduates are having finding good-paying jobs that will help them pay off their loans.
Yet the value of a college degree must be viewed as a long-term investment. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median annual earnings of a college graduate in 2011 was about two times as much as the median earnings of someone with only a high school diploma. ...

Sandbox is your only hope for a decent mmo ;)
Well a few things have been missed on why WOW became so successful and why many think themeparks are the wya to go.
1- MMORPG's were kinda new at this time. A few 100k and the game was successful and massive at the time. Sandboxes and themeparks were still in the toddler stage. But majority of the players were still playing console games and single player rpgs on the pc.
2- Internet access and useage peaked during this time also. More people online = larger customer base.
3- game appeased young children as well as adults.But it was made for people that liked easy play, non indepth games.
4- todays market try to copy blizzard and make these cheesy themepark games hoping to have the "rags to riches" success blizzard did. They follow to close to WOW and in most cases try to walk in their footsteps. Even blizzard mentioned this in an article.
5- No one has taken a gamble and tried anything else.
Sandboxes realy didnt have a chance to get off the ground. As i said these games were still kinda new to many people. When WOW came out it was advertised well, marketed well, and attracted so many more people probably due to its name and its reputation (blizzard - war craft and starcraft). I just dont see how so many are happy with the themepark games instead of a realy good sandbox with all its features. Im sure people are just getting sick of these wow style games, but nothing better has come out so they stick with what they know and have invested a lot of time in.
On a personal note i just hate limitations, being led around, lack of player content, creativity is lost, and tired of hitting max level and only thing to do is dailies, warzones, and raids. MMO's should have a lot more. With archeage (maybe) coming to america a few months/years down the road , the repopulation and its amazing features, that sandboxes are given a new light and maybe attract more gamers and companies to work on something different than straight up themepark games.
Mos tthis is my speculation, but also been written about dozens of times. Im an older gamer and im sick of these childish easy dumbed down console rpgs getting released that all look and feel the same. In my opinion, im sure many here like being led around and not allowed to use their creativity to make content. Easier just to wait for content from the company i guess.

All to often the answer to that is "Well, some of those aren't REAL MMOs," which underscores the issue - limiting one's acceptance of what is an MMO only to WOW-like MMOs and then having issues with the feeling that all MMOs seem the same or, worse, perceiving that any of the WOW-like MMOs are really that much different from each other.

Well said.
And really, I think you could even take a look at a subset of MMORPGs that are fairly similar to WoW and still see how they are more different from WoW than WoW-copies. For example, consider themeparks:
EQ, DAoC, GW (yes, not technically an MMORPG, but definitely an online themepark), and the upcoming GW2
All of these games are pretty different from WoW. They all offer a pretty unique experience, despite the fact that they are all of the developer-guided "themepark" approach.
Now consider:
Aion, WAR, SWTOR
All of these games are extremely similar to WoW. They all have the exact same fundamental system (dungeons, questing, warfronts, etc.) but they just have a single "twist" that's different. In Aion you can fly. WAR is focused on PvP. SWTOR has VO and story. Other than that...they are basically WoW.

Wow basically followed the rules when making an MMO.
You have 2 paths to choose.
1) To compete with the 800 lb gorilla in the room you need to make a 850 lb gorilla. Anything less is fail. Time tested.
2) Don't make a gorilla. This can be difficult as most investors won't take a chance that your new pink peacock is going to make the players happy.
So in conclusion,
Wow in 2004 went route #1 and EQ was the gorilla and the time and succeeded by making the 850 lb gorilla.
Eve went route #2 and was successul in making a niche indie game. The pink peacock.
Swtor went route #1 and made a 400 lb gorilla which is why it will fail.
AOC, LOTR, D&D all went route #1 and their 400 lb gorillas are f2p.

thats not even true at all. there are so many themepark MMO out there much different from WoW.
Aion has only 2 races for example, and flying combat and massive endgame PvP zone.
Warhammer took a whole different way of going about the themepark design by making it PvP focused instead of PvE focus. how is that a standard of WoW? in WoW before Warhammer came, the only way to gain EXP from PvP was by turning in marks in Vanilla WoW. that was long scrap before the Warhammer hype even came.
LoTRO didnt even have faction PvP. So how is it off the standards of WoW? it had player housing, as well as solo instances. and so much more, that WOW HAS NEVER DONE!!!
AoC,,, come on,,, do I really?
Vanguard,,, again fully persistent world and no PvP. how is this themepark the standard of WoW?
the list goes on.... Blizzard had to even go as far as to copy many of these ideas from these other games...... to make this so called Standard you all speak of...

Sandbox MMO never took off like Themepark MMO, for the same reason people are now screaming about all themepark MMO not being Innovating now days.
name some Sandbox MMO that has been Innovating over the years? same arguement that people have against the non innovating "WoW Clones" can be applied to each and every Sandbox MMO, because they all do the same thing just look different.....
you played 1 sandbox, you played them all.... why look forward to a new sandbox if you are a burnt out consumer of sandbox MMO as is?

I also hope your not implying that being extremely similar to WoW is bad. Plenty of people really enjoy that type of design.
Originally posted by MMOExposed
All of your examples sound all well and good until you step out of the neat little box that you have carved. Once you add a single non WoW-copy game to the mix...the games you listed (with a possible exception of AoC) all start to seem very similar to WoW.
For example, when you only know about WoW, Aion, LOTRO, SWTOR, and Rift. Then Rift and WoW may seem fairly different. After all, rift has rifts, invasions, and customizable classes, WoW doesn't!
But once you add something like EQ or DAoC to the mix...all the others seem so much more similar. The fundamental leveling mechanic in EQ and DAoC is different from WoW (no questing). There is much less instancing in these games. The "trinity" model in EQ was actually a...quadrinity(?) with tank, healing, damage, and control. The classes and abilities in these games were all pretty different as well.
There are just so many fairly fundamental differences between EQ, DAoC, and WoW that it would be hard to list here. Whereas I could list the differences between WoW and the other games I mentioned in a few sentences.

I will point this out to you as I have done for others.
if you could some how rate how different Everquest is from WoW to come up with some kind of Score
and than
rate how different a post WoW themepark mmo like (LoTRO, Warhammer, AoC, Aion, Vanguard, etc) is from WoW.
how much different would the two scores be?
obviously this "rating" cant be done, but its the idea of my logic that should be the major point here.
How different is EQ from WoW? how different is DAoC from WoW.
How Different is LoTRO from WoW?
How Different is Warhammer from WoW?
How Different is Vanguard from WoW?
How Different is what ever themepark from WoW?
you will see that most of these post WoW themepark MMO are as much different from WoW as these two older themepark mmo are. they may be different in their own ways, but they still are close to equally different. That doesnt mean they are Not Similar....
WoW is similar to Everquest as it is to every other themepark MMO.
but its also different from Everquest as it is different from every other post WoW themepark MMO is.

Umm, i kind of think you are wrong. Of course it can be argued either way for sure.
It may have not started out as a genre, but over the years it has kind of turned itself into one. As people see it anyhow.
As people here in this thread have said, even the Dev's of other games kind of see it that way. By trying to compete and or copy, or even beat it at it's on game. They kind of have to accept that it is a genre.
At the very least they have fallen into the, trap if you will, that they have to try to compete with, or do it one better to be able to survive, and or prosper along side of it.
To me, WOW is and always will be a BORG :) They assimilate each and every part of a game that will enhance their own.
They took parts from their own games, as well as games that came out both before and after theirs did. They use anything that they think may help to keep their own players coming back for more. As well as draw more in every year.
Ya, Borg, or maybe a blackhole:) Any game that gets to close to it, is in for a hard time. And pieces of it will most likely turn up in WOW before too much time has gone by.
Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.
The above seems to fit WOW pretty well. It started out as a part of a genre at launch, and mostly through peoples perceptions, it turned itself into it's own Genre.

SO how can WoW be the standards of this in EQ2 which is older? it has to mean that these standards come from some other game. which is why I point to the success of Everquest. Everquest is the Standard. from there, developers changed and added things.

Completely nonsensical logic, but simply, and internally consistent.

that list was totally bias, because for the Rift examples and the Aion examples, you excluded what they did different.
Originally posted by MMOExposed
EQ2 came out two weeks before WoW. It's older than WoW like someone is older than their twin brother.
Besides that...it doesn't matter who did what first. All that matters is what is commonly regarded as the dominant design. And well, that's WoW...hands down, no argument.
If I make a game that innovates features A-Y and I get 10K subscribers. But then someone else makes a game that copies A-Y but adds Z, and they get 10 million subscribers, then guess what game will get copied?
It doesn't matter that my game innovated almost every feature in the dominant game. The dominant game is the dominant game, and it will be the one that is copied.
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

I made that list in a different thread, for a different reason, back in like mid-December. I'm not inclined to do another one just so you can shoot that one down for no reason as well ;). But you know what? My bet is that if you add SWTOR and WAR to that list...you'll get the same kind of result.

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens @ Boston Bruins 10/27/11
- Updated: October 25, 2011
Bitter divisional rivals duke it out for the first game in a home and home set in NHL betting action on Thursday night, as the Montreal Canadiens visit the TD Garden to take on the Boston Bruins.
The Canadiens have to be frustrated as could be right now. They are just 1-5-2 and at the bottom of the Northeast Division, and now, they have to embark on a horribly difficult set of games which could put them in a tumultuous spot early in the campaign. On Wednesday, they have to take on the Philadelphia Flyers, one of the best teams in hockey before these two games with the champs, and then it's back on the road for four of the first five games in November. The team could look up and be 15 points back by the end of that stretch, and that's the type of deficit that teams just can't close over the course of even three quarters of the season in most cases. The problem has been the goaltending and defense. This unit is allowing 3.1 goals per game in spite of the fact that it ranks No. 7 in shots allowed. Carey Price, considered one of the top up and coming net minders in this league, only has that one win to show for his season's work, and he has a dreadful save percentage by his standard of .892.
What the champs are finding out is that it is hard to be at the top of the mountain. They haven't strung two wins together since the end of the Stanley Cup Finals last year, and that probably isn't changing any time in the near future. This is the end of a four game home stand which has already seen the team lose to the San Jose Sharks and the Carolina Hurricanes, and that already signals the second time this year that the offense has gone flat in a home stretch. Right at the start of the season, the team was shut out by the Colorado Avalanche at home, and the Philadelphia Flyers held it to a single goal in the first game of the season. The offense has had a total power outage. Only Tyler Seguin has more than six points for this team, and he probably isn't the man that is going to be counted on to lead this team in points this year. Zdeno Chara, one of the top defensemen in the league has just three points, which Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci only have a goal apiece to show for their work this year.
Montreal Canadiens @ Boston Bruins Pick: Still, the site of the TD Garden has to make the Canadiens boil. The last time these two met up, the Bruins were bouncing the Habs out of the playoffs with a 4-3 overtime victory in Game 7 of their playoff series. Expect this one to be intense from the get go, but when push comes to shove, we'll give Boston the slight edge.
NHL Pick: Boston Bruins

Condition Rarity, Radiant Surfaces
During the throws of the depression, there was little need for coinage. For example, the Denver Mint only made cents, dimes, and double eagles in 1931. Only 106,500 of those double eagles were coined in Denver, and nearly all of the mintage remained inside Mint and treasury vaults until the time came to melt the coins a few years later. Only those few coins that were saved by collectors at the time of issue are preserved today.
The 1931-D is the second rarest D-Mint Saint-Gaudens double eagle, behind the legendary 1927-D. From a small mintage of 106,500 pieces, the 1931-D is considered the eighth rarest date in the 53 coin series. David Akers recalls that 30 years ago the 1931-D was a serious challenger to the 1930-S for the title of rarest late date Saint-Gaudens twenty. A small hoard of 15-20 pieces surfaced in the early 1980s, however, raising the availability of the 1931-D to about the same level as the 1931 and 1932 issues. Today, experts believe perhaps 95-110 examples survive in Mint State, with only a handful of coins known in circulated grades. In higher grades the 1931-D is quite rare. NGC has certified only six coins at the Gem level, with a single specimen finer; while PCGS has graded fourteen examples in MS65, with four finer.
The present coin can trace its provenance back to its date of issue, as it was part of the deaccessioned holdings of the Connecticut State Library. Elsewhere in this catalog we have told the story of Librarian George Godard and his special relationship with T. Louis Comparette, curator of the Mint Collection in the early 20th century. Godard updated the collection of the Library every year by purchasing coins directly from the mints, or from the coins provided for assay purposes if none were available through regular channels, using funds allocated for the purpose. This practice was continued, even after Comparette's death in 1922.
The coin offered here displays the bold impression that typifies the issue, but its radiant surfaces are anything but common. The typical 1931-D twenty is among the least attractive of the late-date issues, but this piece displays swirling, frosty luster and bright, reddish-gold surfaces that yield to copper and lilac on the eagle's wing. The surfaces are essentially devoid of post-production impairments although, for pedigree purposes alone, we note a small lateral abrasion on Liberty's lower right leg. This piece truly possesses the quality of the best available 1931-D double eagles and it will make a nice addition to a World-Class collection.

The Relationship Between Achievement in Second Language Acquisition of Southeast Asian Students and Influencing Variables
Stephany, Gene V.
MetadataShow full item record
The problem. Early evaluation of the English as Second Language program for the Southeast Asian refugee population showed a range of achievement levels in English language acquisition. Sociocultural and psychological factors influencing the success in second language acquisition have been of concern to educators in providing appropriate programs. Procedure. This study was undertaken to determine the degree that selected variables influenced second language learning in the Southeast Asian refugee population in Des Moines public schools. It is intended that this study will provide essential data for program development in the areas of proper assessment, placement, and curricula. A questionnaire to the parents identified: (1) number of years a parent attended school in his or her native country, (2) ability to read and write, (3) predominant language used in the home, and (4) amount of English spoken in the home. Correlational analysis, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis were used. The Bilingual Syntax Measure was used to determine achievement in English oral proficiency. Findings. There was a positive relationship between level of second Language acquisition and number of years parents attended school in their native country, parents' ability to read and write, length of time the student had been in school, and amount of English spoken in the home, Levels of achievement were also affected by ethnic group and predominant language spoken in the home. Conclusions. It was concluded that achievement in second language acquisition was interrelated with several sociocultural and psychological factors: (1) number of years of - in native country, (2) parents' ability to read and write, (3) predominant language spoken in the home, (4) the time factor, (5) ethnic group, and (6) amount of English spoken in the home. Recommendations. It is recommended that: (1) program objectives and curricula should take into account sociocultural and psychological factors that influence second language learning, (2) further study be conducted to determine if literacy efforts have a positive affect on second language acquisition, and (3) further study to determine if the same influencing variables affect the development of second language reading and writing skills.

There's no reason to think that Garth Snow's job is in jeopardy, literally none at all. But the chattering masses on Social media are calling for Garth's Snows head after his terrible '13-'14 offseason and the team's regression this season. So here are two sets of names to consider in replacing Snow this offseason, if it were to happen. the first set would be straight up replacements for Snow and no other changes in the front office. The name missing from this list is Doug Weight, who will have to choose to either stay behind the bench, or move into the front office, this season's proven that his dual responsibilities are a hindrance. Again, these are pure speculation, there's no source for me to pull from and no indication that Garth is on the hot seat. The second set of names would be guys to install as President of Operations to work with Garth or to mentor a first time GM, there's only two names there, but either would be a great pick for that position.
Straight up replacements:
Ron Hextall: LA's assistant would be a blast from the past for the Islanders, but the former Goalie (and netminder for the '94 playoff run) has spent the last 7 years learning the craft under Dean Lombardi; he's watched the Kings go through a full-scale rebuild (joining the team when Thomas Hickey was their top pick in '07) and move into a full-time contention. Hextall presents a Good mix of things you want in a GM and the job in LA isn't his for a while, returning to the Isles would make the most sense for Hextall unless Ed Snider finally comes to his senses and fires the Isles D dealing Paul Holmgren. Hextall also won't be afraid to deal a prospect that isn't his guy to get an established guy, say a Brock Nelson or Ryan Pulock. Hextall makes some good sense.
Paul Fenton: The long time Assistant GM of the Nashville Predators has watched the game evolve from Nashville's expansion through both lockouts and the Salary Cap era. He's been involved in big moves in Nashville (Paul Kariya) and build a small hockey team (Erat, Hornqvist), he's watched over a strong defense that's really only lost one major piece in the last few years (Ryan Suter, or the Chris Bosh to Parise's LeBron). The Predators' have seen a lot of different variations and Fenton's been a part of all of them. The biggest downside for Fenton is the Predators have been down over the last few years and the Predators have yet to get to the Cup Finals under his and Poile's stewardship of the team.
Jason Botterill: Pittsburgh's Assistant GM was a finalist for the Sabres' GM job earlier this year before Tim Murray was given the job (and subsequently beat out Pat LaFontaine in a power grab). Botterill's been a part of the Penguins' Front Office since 2007, initially as a "capologist" so he can work some contract magic (minus the stupid Sid and Malkin deals that were "haha there's going to be a lockout and we're lifing these effers"), a potential plus if you believe the nonsense that owner Charles Wang only cares about the Cap Floor, but let's avoid that for now. Botterill's done well in Pittsburgh and deserving of a GM look, but it likely won't be with the Isles trying to move out of a Rebuild. Botterill is likely to be the sort of guy a team Hires to start a rebuild, or to quickly re-tool a roster in his image.
Claude Loiselle: or should i say "Next GM of the Calgary Flames" Claude Loiselle. Loiselle is a Brian Burke acolyte and he goes where Brian tells him or brings him along to. He's been an Assistant in Tampa Bay and currently an Assistant in Toronto. He's overseen the "Burkeification" of the Leafs and has worked this season with fellow acolyte Dave Nonis on building this year's team. Also to Loiselle's credit, he spent 7 years in the NHL front office in New York and worked on things like Arbitration and Collective Bargaining. He makes this list because he's been an Assistant and gotten mentions of being a GM in the past, but make no mistake: he's going to Calgary to work on Pugnacity.
Greg Sherman: the once and future King in Colorado, the emergence of Patrick Roy (given his wide range of responsibilities) and Joe Sakic as Head Coach and Executive Vice President, respectively, has left Greg Sherman as a figure head this year. Prior to that he's helped build up the Avalanche through their rebuild that began shortly after the Ryan Smyth signing (funny thing that). He's made smart picks and shrewd trades. Sherman has taken a team through a rebuild and been able to build them to a point of taking the next step (having guys like Jan Hejda and Milan Hejduk have helped considerably). Sherman makes a lot of sense for the Islanders, especially moving to a new building after next year. In the match up of GMs if you wanted to put him up against Garth Snow: Advantage Sherman.
Darcy Regier: the one time Isles Interim-GM, and guy who lost the job to Mike Milbury, has an advantage over some of these other guys: he doesn't currently have a job. Regier left the Islanders to replace John Muckler after Ted Nolan ran him out of town in Buffalo and was half of the longest tenured GM/Head Coach for some time when he hired Lindy Ruff. Regier's career in Buffalo speaks for itself with major draft picks (Derek Roy, Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek, Max Afinigainov, Ryan Miller to name a few), he also made trades to bring in names to help in playoff runs. These of course were before the coming of Daddy Warbucks, I mean Terry Pegula. By the end Darcy was maligned for things like the Ville Leino and Christian Ehrhoff signings, the handling of Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek's impending UFA statuses, and adding John Scott for virtually no reason besides starting fights and being the general useless roster space that he is. We could do worse than Regier, but also, better. Darcy may be better off in an advisory role in the Front Office for the Isles. Time ran out in Buffalo...I'm not convinced he can raise the Isles to the next level.
President of Hockey Ops
In lieu of firing the General Manager, Charles Wang could take a page from the Columbus Blue Jackets and hire someone to the effect of John Davidson, who's primary responsibility will be re-establishing the Islanders brand, but also working with the General Manager (in this instance Garth Snow, or someone hired of their choosing, like Davidson did with Jarmo Kekäläinen. Both of these guys would immediately provide the Islanders positive coverge and are heavy hitters in the NHL. I present:
Larry Pleau: Since leaving the GM job in St Louis in 2010, Larry Pleau has continued to see what he's built shine on the ice as the St Louis Blues are currently the best team in the NHL. Pleau established the blueprint that Doug Armstrong has built upon; he drafted much of the teams core including: David Backes, Roman Polak, TJ Oshie, Patrik Berglund, Ian Cole (stretch on the core thing, but David Perron was traded, so...live with it), Alex Pietrangelo (damn the Isles for winning more games than STL in '08), and finally Jaden Schwarz and Vladimir Terasenko. He also made trades for Chris Osgood, Jaroslav Halak and others at Deadlines (or at drafts) to improve his team to make them contenders. Pleau is currently the Blues Senior Advisor of Amateur scouting, but I doubt he'd turn down an offer of "President of Operations" should one be presented to him when he sees what model of this idea John Davidson has done in the role in Columbus. It's possible he'd want his own GM (Al McInnis? Kevin McDonald?) or his own Coach (Brad Shaw? Davis Payne?) if presented the job. But you could do a lot worse as a guy to re-establish credibility with the league and help a first time GM (Hextall) or advise Garth for a season or two.
Don Maloney: the guy who started the Garth Snow trend (actually I don't know how many players have retired and been installed GM before, but Maloney was the First for the Islanders taking over in 1992), or alternatively: the guy that built the '93 Miracle team. Maloney's made a name for himself since being fired by the Islanders first with the Rangers as an Assistant GM and then with the NHL owned Phoenix Coyotes building consistent winners on shoe-string budgets. He too has built his team through the draft and key signings over the years. Maloney also makes a ton of sense in terms of: nostalgia, a history of winning, an ability to compete on a budget and a way of getting his players for his price. Maloney would ideally have a say in hockey decisions but is brought in as a mentor to Snow (who's been a GM longer than Maloney's been with Phoenix) or a first time GM (Hextall) and again as a reputation restoring guy who can be a seller of the team to UFAs as the team readies to leave Nassau for Brooklyn.
If I had my choice, and I don't; again, none of this will happen, but I'd ideally want to hire Maloney as the President of Hockey Operations and Ron Hextall as the General Manager. It would knock two solid front office guys out of the Pacific Division and two great hockey minds to push the Islanders forward. However, I do believe Garth gets one more offseason to put it all together. If there's a guy to hire though to bring in to re-establish the Islanders, I look at Pleau and Maloney as the guys to bring in to create better spin for the team and be the public face guys to soothe things over for Garth or the next GM. If there's no "President" position created then the Isles find themselves choosing between Sherman or Hextall as the next GM. But again, I don't see any of this happening. Take that for what you will.
