World juniors: Canada falls to Finland in semifinal
Team Canada plays Russia for bronze Sunday. Sweden meets Finland for crown. Fifth straight year without gold for Canadians.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
MALMO, SWEDEN—Oh well, Canada. At least you get to play Russia.
Finland beat Canada 5-1 on Saturday to set up a gold-medal game against arch-rival Sweden at the world hockey championship, while Canada will play historic hockey rival Russia for bronze. But it will be a fifth straight year without gold, Canada's third-longest drought. Canada went from 1998 to 2004 without winning it all, a span of seven tournaments, and in the first eight years of the tournament, conceived in 1974.
Canada ran into penalty trouble — Jonathan Drouin earned his second misconduct for a head check in the pivotal second period — and never recovered despite a supportive crowd.
There were a few odd penalties. Goalie Zach Fucale stopped a breakaway by Finnish captain Teuvo Teravainen, but was called for tripping on the same play. But while some will blame the officials, Canada had only itself to blame for trailing 3-1 at the end of two periods.
Too often, one player tried to beat five Finns through the neutral zone. Too often the hard pass missed while the easy pass was ignored.
Joni Nikko, Artturi Lehkonen and Rasmus Ristolainen scored in the second period for Finand. Lehkonen's came on the power play with Leaf prospect Frederik Gauthier in the box.
Drouin got Canada's only goal of the second.
Teravainen scored on a penalty shot in the third period to secure the win. Juuso Ikonen added an empty-netter.
Russia beat Canada for bronze last year.
"We have to be ready," said Russian defenceman Nikita Zadorov, on loan from the Buffalo Sabres. "We want to win something. Bronze medal is not bad for us."
In the early game, goals from Penguins prospect Oskar Sundqvist and Filip Forsberg of the Nashville Predators, and a 26-save performance by Oscar Dansk of the Erie Otters, lifted Sweden to a 2-1 win over Russia.
"It's unbelievable, said Swedish forward Andreas Johnson, another Leaf pick. "I don't think I can understand it yet."
Malmo Arena — where almost 12,000 were chanting, singing and clapping all game Saturday — will play host to Sunday's final, where Sweden will try for its second gold in three years, with silver in between.
"No one can stop us," said Swedish forward Anton Karlsson, a top prospect for the 2014 draft.

GE Challenge Targets Oil Sands GHG Emissions
General Electric has launched an up to CAD$1 million ecomagination open challenge to help accelerate emissions-reducing technology development in Canada's oil sands. The Innovation Challenge will target two of the biggest opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil sands: new uses for waste heat and improved efficiency of steam generation.
The challenge is in two parts, with submissions due Sept. 30 and March 15, 2015, respectively. Winners of the challenge can potentially share up to CAD$1 million in seed funding to further develop and commercialize the proposed solutions and will be eligible to become a supplier or contractor to GE on future projects.
Canada's oil sands are the third largest oil reserves in the world, next to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Oil sands production is expected to grow substantially over the next 20 years, driving increased efforts for collaboration to accelerate the development of technology that will reduce GHG emissions.
Strategic advisors for the GHG ecomagination Innovation Challenge include Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) and Alberta Innovates – Energy and Environment Solutions (AI-EES).
The winners of the first part of the Challenge will be announced in January 2015. Entries are now being accepted at www.geghgecochallenge.com.
In 2011, GE awarded $63 million to 10 energy companies as part of a clean tech ecomagination Challenge.

Back to where it all began
... but it was too lively for our hot heads to handle so went back to our van at the top of the hill. The corvette club were here for the weekend and had bands playing Saturday and Sunday and the place is a real Dutch holiday town, loads of people here filling all the bars and restaurants, a bit different to last ...
Holland for the day. Maastricht.
To and Huget both had to go to work, so we had a slow start and then drove to Holland! Maastricht, home of André Rieu! Had a lovely day walking around the two market squares, the food and clothes market stalls and then had lunch watching the people walk by. No churches, museums or art galleries today. Back home for more chatting and snails for dinner. To is truly a great ...
Werchter was rocking!
... complete and the end of Rockwerchter. Left my tent pitched at the camp ground and we made our way back to Brussel via a bus and a train. Even though we didn't camp with Leany he managed to run into him every day in the festival. To top that off we bumped into him again at the train station in Brussels. I wasn't even surprisd by that stage, I think he just has a knack for it.
Summary: Rockwerchter will always go down as one of the best festivals I have/will ever go ...
By a woman, of course!
... what is on my plate or else my pants won't fit in a week's time for sure. After lunch I did some roaming, taking pictures of the beautiful buildings that were hidden in the alleys off to the sides of the market where no one seemed to care to visit. Everyone else was preoccuppied with the rink and shopping. I found a special Salvador Dali exhibition (yaay) and spent over an hour looking at rare sketches and paintings set in some of the ...
Pukkelpop Music Festival
... a very strange, divided country. On the first day, Thursday, I saw Dropkick Murphys, Pendulum, Roisin Murphy, Flaming Lips and the Killers. The Flaming Lips put on an amazing show! At the very start the lead singer came out in a giant hamster ball and started rolling around on top of the crowd. On stage they had many people dressed up in a variety of costumes from tele-tubbies to aliens. From the roof they constantly dropped down giant ...

Since the release of their first album, Deer Apartments, in 1998, matt pond PA has witnessed several incarnations and a largely transformed music industry. Yet, throughout all the change, the band's eponymous founder continued to write his songs of reflection and redemption, and this past April, released one of his best records to date, The Dark Leaves.As with many of matt pond PA's albums, The Dark Leaves emerged from personal struggle. In a soft voice, one wholly different from the fog-washed tenor that has won him acclaim, Matt Pond explains:
The Dark Leaves' tight arrangements belie the fact that Ponds' band has seen twenty-two members come and go since its inception. Pond is the only remaining member of the quintet that released Deer Apartments. The songwriter talks about the flux:
The record came from my most down musical time; a depressed personal time not just with the ladies, but with friends and where I lived. Most of the songs I write, I write to myself, and I was trying to convince myself that things were better than I thought they were on this album.
Such sentiments are indicative of Pond's own capacity to adapt, and help explain his continued relevance in the tenuous world of independent music (a world that is, by his own admission, "ridiculous at times") for the better part of twelve years. Still, Pond's longevity has also lent him a warranted skepticism of the increasingly hyper-stimulated nature of music and its consumption. Discussing the diminishing value of lyrics, Pond states incredulously, "Albums get reviewed in Twitter posts. I mean, I just don't think people are listening." Pond goes on to talk about the failing state of musical criticism, particularly the popular website Pitchfork.com:
If you try to fight against the organic dissolution of something, it becomes difficult. For a while the point of the band was to play with string instruments, to orchestrate with voice and cello; but people want to move on. Sometimes the talented people you work with; they want that house and they want to have children and have a stable life and not a rock and roll life. What I first thought I could fight... there is just no arguing against what people want to do with their lives. But new people bring new ideas, and as far as the band's fluctuation, I think it has helped in a strange way.
Despite his misgivings, people do listen to Matt Pond, and the singer, along with his ever-shifting ensemble, have built up a substantial following over the years. Each of the band's records has been widely reviewed, and it is hard to deny the influence matt pond PA has had on the indie-rock genre; melding lush string arrangements with rock songs before many indie acts thought to.
"Pitchfork is exactly Fox News for music. It pretends to be a music source. It only features the music it likes, and tries to make people not listen to music it doesn't. I think it's a real negative; to see it go beyond the joke that it once was."
Though Pond says he "sometimes thinks of retirement things," the songwriter is still quite young, and remains busy. In addition to his latest album, this past year also saw Pond release a nine song EP and compose the score for the film, Lebanon, PA. matt pond PA continues to make music that is thoughtful and skillfully orchestrated, and however music may change, there is always a place for that.

About "Snakeskin Violin", recorded in Mali and Mississippi:
"profound world blues passage...driven by a seductive rhythmic circularity that's a keystone of Malian traditional tunes and Delta blues."
"brooding minimalism to rollicking fusions of African and American sensibilities.
...an artist who has done as much as anyone to kick open the doors too long separating American and West African roots music."

The Wellington Phoenix's faint finals hopes remain alive but they will reflect on yesterday's draw with Adelaide United as an opportunity missed.
With Adelaide reduced to 10 men following the 68th minute dismissal of Jon McKain, the Phoenix proceeded to pepper goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic.
But while Corey Gameiro opened his A-League account with an 80th minute equaliser, the last placed Phoenix desperately needed three points rather than one in front of just 4892 fans at Westpac Stadium.
"Especially second half, I thought real good shades of the old Phoenix really," coach Ricki Herbert said.
"Totally comprehensive, well in control, only team going to win the game."
But Adelaide were the better side in the first half as Tomi Juric and Marcelo Carrusca both bulged the net with sweet, left-footed strikes.
The Phoenix remained in the contest thanks to Galekovic, who dithered on the ball and Gameiro pounced to set up Jeremy Brockie's 12th goal of the season.
At 2-1 up, Adelaide sat back too early and the Phoenix emerged from halftime with the urgency that has been sadly lacking of late.
McKain's sending off gave them extra freedom to push forward but the Phoenix's crossing and finishing remain sub-par.
"Yeah it did [let us down], you get that volume, you need to be better at the top part of the pitch," Herbert said.
"But I think we've walked off the pitch the last few weeks being more disappointed that we haven't played well at all. I honestly can't say that today, I thought we were right up for it. Irrespective of the sending off, I thought we really started the second half brightly and looked like a side that wanted to get something out of a football match."
Adelaide coach Michael Valkanis said referee Tim McGilchrist's decision to send McKain off appeared "50-50" at first glance.
The former Phoenix player collected yellow cards for his challenges on Andrew Durante in the first half and Vince Lia in the second.
"I'd have to see it again," said Valkanis, who said his side deserved a point.
"To me at the time it looked like it was a 50-50 and it was a big clash but I'll have to have a look at it."
Brockie's strike puts him equal second in the golden boot race with Brisbane's Besart Berisha, and behind only Central Coast's Daniel McBreen who has 15.
But the goal of the game came from Carrusca.
The Argentine picked the ball up from Cassio on the counter attack and let rip with a screamer from outside the box to give Glen Moss no chance.
The Phoenix host Newcastle Jets on Wednesday at Westpac Stadium and then meet Melbourne Heart in Dunedin on Sunday.
Herbert is to assess his players' fitness today but midfielder Isaka Cernak, who missed yesterday's game with a hip flexor injury, is a chance to return.
Elsewhere, All White Michael McGlinchey scored a hat-trick as leaders Central Coast demolished Melbourne Victory 6-2, second-placed Western Sydney kept pace by beating Perth Glory 1-0 and Newcastle and Brisbane Roar drew 0-0.

I wanted you to know how helpful Michael Clarkson was today over the phone while I ordered safety boots for a youth group that is working for our site this next month. I work for the National Park Service at Weir Farm national Historic Site and have ordered boots many times for myself and seasonal staff. We are definitely loyal customers and find the online ordering very efficient. Today when I interacted with a real person, the service was excellent. Thank you."

Penn Township hires public works director
Penn Township commissioners hired on Monday a man with 22 years experience in local government to fill the newly created job of public works director.
Scot E. Fodi, 44, last serving as township manager in Middlesex Township, Butler County, will earn $72,500.
He is projected to start Sept. 15.
Fodi's former duties as township manager included serving as public works director, said Alex Graziani, Penn Township manager. Fodi previously worked as a code enforcement officer in Pine Township, Allegheny County.
"Every other community around here pretty much has a public works director," Commissioner Paul Wersing said.
Fodi will do short- and long-range road planning for the township, handle communications with the public over township roads and oversee capital improvements, among his duties, Graziani said.
Nineteen people applied to be public works director, township officials said.
Tom Lamacz will continue as public works foreman and handle day-to-day duties, Graziani said.
Fodi will serve a six-month probationary period.
Earlier, the commissioners passed an ordinance establishing the public works director position.
Fodi holds a master's in business administration from Robert Morris University and a bachelor's in local government management from Penn State University.
In another matter, the commissioners approved a resolution to have a school resource officer in the Penn-Trafford School District.
Chief John Otto explained the related officer costs about $100,000 for salary and benefits in a year.
The school district will pay $70,000 of that expense, while the township will contribute $30,000, he said.
About 180 of the 260 days the officer works will be devoted to the school, so the school district should contribute more, Otto said.
An officer will be in the high school five days per week.
"Law enforcement, counselor and educator will be the three things the officer will be doing," the chief added.

This study proposes and examines a comprehensive model for the determinants of property tax assessment quality. In addition to providing evidence in support of reform of property tax administration by institutionalizing the full market value standard, a specific revaluation cycle, and county or statewide assessment functions, this study examines the impact of the monitoring pressure of residents on the quality of assessment. The empirical results reveal that the median tax share, the median property value as a share of median income, the ratio of state aid to total expenditures, and the share of adults with college or higher education have significant impacts on the quality of property tax assessment.

A telephone shaped like a mouth and tongue is among items from Manawatu that went online as unwanted gifts the day after Christmas.
More than 20,000 items nationwide have landed at online auction site Trade Me since lunchtime yesterday, as unwanted Christmas presents were offloaded.
Along with a Feilding trader's "mouth phone," other unwanted gifts on Trade Me include a new Quicksilver wallet from Levin, Harajuku Lovers perfume from Palmerston North and a "Supreme" branded hat from Marton.
"Regular offenders" that routinely turned up after missing the mark on Christmas Day included over-ambitious purchases of lingerie by both men and women, and items such as books, ties, handbags and kitchen appliances, Trade Me spokesman Paul Ford said.
"Yesterday most of us will have received at least one gift that made us groan inwardly, but if you can't exchange it then selling it to someone who genuinely wants it is often a better option than hiding it in the back of the wardrobe, sending it off to the dump, or awkwardly passing it on at Christmas next year."
Sellers could also be anonymous on Trade Me, as long as the gift-givers did not know their member name.
A British poll had named the Fifty Shades of Grey book trilogy as the least popular Christmas gift, followed by Olympics and weight-loss DVDs, and onesie jumpsuits.
"We'll be keeping a close eye out for these items on Trade Me over the next few days, as they sound like decent contenders for the Kiwi 'not hot' list too," Ford said.
British research showed that although there was a persistent social taboo about recycling unwanted presents, this did not reflect the way the original gift givers felt.
Tips for sellers included mentioning "unwanted gift" in the listing.
Handmade items should not be sold, particularly if someone's name was carved, embroidered or etched on.
And only brand-new items should be sold, with the packaging as intact as possible.

Curtailing ties to have repercussions on the EU too, Thai traders warn
Publication Date : 25-06-2014
Thai industries yesterday warned the European Union that its decision to curtail diplomatic ties with Thailand after the military coup could result in mutual repercussions.
Supant Mongkolsuthree, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), said the benefits from free-trade agreements normally were bilateral, and if the EU continued with this measure, it too would lose out on benefits.
"Parties in an agreement receive the same benefits, and the slowdown in the FTA process will only make both sides lose," he said.
However, he said that though the EU has refused to sign a partnership deal, which includes an FTA, the private sectors on both sides could continue trading.
"Without the FTA deal, it is up to the private sector to create the confidence necessary for transactions between trading partners," he said.
On Monday, the EU decided to suspend mutual official visits after the military's power seizure in May, and said the exemptions would continue until Thailand has a democratically elected government in place.
Supant said the FTI and the Board of Trade would not provide any advice and would allow the junta to handle the situation on its own.
Meanwhile, Somkid Jatusripitak, economic adviser for the military's ruling National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said Thailand had to show its commitment by making other countries understand that the junta was working on tackling problems in Thai society. He added that eventually foreign confidence would return.
"This is a good time to take care of the problems in society, and if we can show them that we are sincere about fixing the problems, then confidence will return. The EU's reactions are normal on the international level and we should use this as a lesson for private and public sectors to work together to restore confidence," he said.
Krirk-Krai Jirapaet, chairman of the Thai Institute of Directors Association, said the EU had not really cancelled any trade relations with Thailand, adding that it was simply a move against the power seizure and that they would reconsider their stance once there is an election.
"The EU is not cutting ties with Thailand. It is just showing that it is unhappy about this political development. I am not surprised or concerned, because the trade relations still exist," he said.
Krirk-Krai said that since the EU did not boycott bilateral trade or change any tax regulations concerning goods to and from Thailand - something it cannot do anyway because of the Word Trade Organisation's rules - its recent action should not have an effect on Thailand's exports.
However, he is worried about the FTA talks being suspended, adding Thailand might stand to lose competitiveness, as the EU was negotiating FTA deals with other countries in the region.
Ajva Taulananda, vice chairman of Charoen Pokphand Group, said the EU's decisions would have no effect on the export sector for as long as the public and private sectors provide explanations to their trade partners about what is happening. However, Thai exporters are worried about European consumer sentiment.
Poj Aramwattananont, president to the Thai Frozen Foods Association, said exports should not suffer, as the EU's decisions were only related to Thailand's political situation. To boost buyers' confidence, food associations in Thailand plan to lead a mission to the EU and meet their trading partners. Chanintr Chalisarapong, Thai Tuna Industry Association president, said tuna shipments to the EU had not changed for several years. To ensure export growth, Thai firms are trying to promote trade in various markets, relying less on a single large market like the EU or the US.

Texas Rangers Rumors & News
San Francisco Chronicle 4 hours ago
ARLINGTON, Texas - The Giants returned to this steamy town for the first time since they clinched the 2010 World Series, and they were full of emotions again but for different reasons. At the end of the fourth inning in the Giants' 6-3 loss to the Rangers, Madison Bumgarner barked at his opponents during a benches- and bullpens-clearing episode. It was hot and muggy (95 degrees at game time), and Bumgarner fell behind quickly when giving up two runs in the first inning and four in the second. Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus hit two-run homers. ...

Title: Harvesting washer rinse cycle water from Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants, My question is different. I am "harvesting" 8-9 gallons from the rinse cycle in my top loading washer. I was told not to use this water on vegetables, just shrubs and flowers. Is this true? We also get 2 gallons of cold water for each shower we take.
Your question is different, all right, in that it concerns using "greywater" for use on gardens. Our line is the garden plants themselves, all native to Texas (in your case), of course. Since we have no experience with this beyond taking dishwashing water (no dishwashers in those days) out to try to keep some pathetic zinnias alive during the drought in the early 1950's, we will find some websites where you can get information and links to other sites.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
11 Apr 2012 20:17 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Qatar, Russia
Syria has told Kofi Annan, the special peace envoy of the UN and Arab League, that it will halt all fighting by Thursday morning but reserves the right to respond to any attack by "armed terrorist groups", his spokesman said.
In a letter the Syrian Foreign Ministry said Damascus agreed "to cease all military fighting throughout Syrian territory as of 6 am (0300 GMT) tomorrow, Thursday," Ahmad Fawzi said.
The statement also said that the Syrian government reserves "the right to respond proportionately to any attacks carried out by armed terrorist groups against civilians, government forces or public and private property".
Annan said he would continue to work with the government and opposition to ensure complete implementation of his six-point peace plan.
Live Box 20117693233259422
The government's pledge to stop army operations means the opposition must now also honour the ceasefire, Russia's deputy foreign minister said.
"The Syrian government has declared it will cease fire as of 6 am on April 12. Now it's up to the armed opposition," Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Twitter. "Those are the conditions of the Annan plan."
Al Jazeera's Cath Turner, reporting from the UN in New York, said the statement by the Syrian government "has been greeted with a great deal of suspicion and cynicism".
"Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN, and the current president of the UN Security Council, spoke about the letter that has been submitted by president Assad, and she was very clear in the fact that she was not taking anything in that letter at its word, because, she said, President Assad did not have a very good track record at keeping his word," our correspondent said.
Iranian support
Meanwhile, Annan has welcomed Iranian support for his efforts to secure peace in Syria, telling Tehran that it can be "part of the solution".Annan was speaking in Tehran on Wednesday following talks with Ali Akbar Salehi, the Iranian foreign minister.
While endorsing Annan's peace plan, which calls for the ceasefire by Thursday, Salehi said Syria's government needed to be given time to implement reforms.
Tehran is considered a key regional ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who faces growing international pressure over the crackdown by security forces that has seen cities shelled and thousands of people killed.
Annan stressed again the urgency of finding a way to end the killing and to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need, before getting all parties to the table.
"The political process must be Syrian-led and respect the aspirations of the Syrian people," Annan said.
"What is important is that governments in the region and beyond work with Syria to resolve the crisis.
"The geopolitical position of Syria is such that any miscalculation can have unimaginable consequences."
'Further militarisation disastrous'
Regarding a ceasefire agreement which requires Syrian government forces to halt operations by April 12, Annan said he had received assurances that the deadline would be honoured.
"If everyone respects it I think by six in the morning on Thursday we shall see improved conditions on the ground," Annan said.
Answering a question whether he supported calls by some countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to arm the Syrian opposition, Annan said "any further militarisation will be disastrous".
Salehi offered qualified Iranian support for Annan's efforts.
"We believe the people of Syria, like other countries, have the right to enjoy all the rights enjoyed by other world nations, such as freedom of political parties, freedom of elections, a constitution that encompasses all the wishes of a nation," he said.
"At the same time, we have announced that we oppose interference in the affairs of all countries, including Syria.
"The government of Bashar al-Assad has promised change to meet the demands of the people... and in fact the opportunity must be given to the Syrian government."
Ceasefire deadline
Annan's peace plan, presented last month, calls on the Syrian government to withdraw troops from towns and end the use of heavy weaponry.
Under the plan, both the army and opposition fighters must adhere to the ceasefire.
Walid al-Muallem, the Syrian foreign minister, on Tuesday demanded guarantees from Annan that the opposition fighters would also honour any truce.
"We will not ask the terrorist groups, which are killing, kidnapping and destroying infrastructure, for guarantees. We want Annan to give us these guarantees," Muallem said during a visit to Moscow.
Syria failed to observe a Tuesday deadline to withdraw its forces from urban areas, and activists reported fresh violence on Wednesday.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
The Local Co-ordination Committees said there was shelling of several opposition-held neighbourhoods in the central city of Homs.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said "tens of army vehicles" were deploying in the southern town of Maaraba amid intense shooting.
The Syrian National Council's spokeswoman Basma Kodmani said that if Assad does not show signs of adhering to the ceasefire, the UN Security Council must set an ultimatum with the will to enforce by power.
"What we would like to see is a unanimous decision by members of the Security Council that sends an ultimatum to the regime with a deadline that is not too far down the road that says on such and such a date enforcement measures will intervene", Kodmani told Reuters.
Assad's forces have killed more than 9,000 people in the past year, according to a UN estimate. Damascus says "armed terrorist groups" have killed more than 2,500 soldiers and security personnel.
