Report: Stamkos unlikely to play in Europe because of others' bad experiences
Dec 17, 2012, 6:54 PM EDT
A few weeks ago, Steven Stamkos said that he'd "definitely have to look at getting at least one to two months' worth of competitive games in" if the 2012-13 campaign is lost.
That might still be the plan, but it looks like Stamkos won't play in Europe, according to the Globe and Mail's James Mirtle.
Why? "One reason: He's heard from some players who have had bad experiences," Mirtle said.
It's not clear who Stamkos has been talking to, but Joffrey Lupul recently returned from the KHL and reported that "it was a little worse than I bargained for."
Evander Kane's tenure in the KHL was also less than ideal.
"It didn't work out," Kane told the Winnipeg Free Press. "You play six minutes a night and they want you to score three goals a game."
Kane was also blasted by his KHL coach for his fitness level.
Regardless, even if Stamkos decides against playing in Europe, he still has other options. The ECHL is becoming a popular destination for locked-out NHLers.

Mr. Stamkos, it ain't any better here in the States. It may even be worse.
- bcjim - Dec 17, 2012 at 7:49 PM
Not for pro hockey players.
- bcjim - Dec 17, 2012 at 7:59 PM
This whole "dissatisfied with Euro/KHL" bit is just shooting yourself in the foot.
They should be touting how awesome the Euro/KHL gigs are so the owners get nervous. Their current course of action is merely eroding the minuscule leverage they have.
These guys are not too bright. Fehr should have mandated all smiles and giggles re:playing in Europe.
Just sign the deal, its not changing. You are on the verge of straight up losing whatever salary you were due this year, players. WAKE UP!!!!
- duster1982 - Dec 18, 2012 at 9:09 AM
Actually it's the exact opposite. They are now trashing Europe because they screwed themselves over by going over there to play. They made it easy for the owners to show that NHL players have other options when it comes to leagues to play in, helping out the owners in court. All of a sudden the players realize the mistake they made, and are now back tracking.

Amurikah!!! Fock yeah!!!
- id4joey - Dec 17, 2012 at 8:14 PM
This guy never had the intent to go anywhere, and is using other's experiences as his out. Wow! He actually gets to vote this week. Scary!
- husky2score - Dec 17, 2012 at 8:32 PM
What does voting have to do with whether or not a player decides to go play overseas?
- id4joey - Dec 17, 2012 at 8:43 PM
He didn't have the balls to say he wasn't going overseas until others said it wasn't a good experience. So, how is he going to vote objectively if he's only a sheep?
- trick9 - Dec 18, 2012 at 2:58 AM
Whilst waiting for these lockout updates ive seen atleast 20 players praise how much they have liked their experiences in Europe. Now Stamkos is going to back out because hes listening to Evander Kane who is acting like a spoiled brat. As for Lupul maybe he shouldn't have picked the worst team in the KHL.
- elvispocomo - Dec 18, 2012 at 12:47 PM
I agree that a number have had good experiences over there, and even Lupul's comments had the connotation that it wasn't that Russia was horrible, just that it was different from playing at home and having a major language barrier didn't make things easy.
- elvispocomo - Dec 18, 2012 at 12:52 PM
Well, I agreed with the first part of your statement anyway – if he was on the fence, something like that would be enough to dissuade hi, and rightly so. Regardless, we don't know who he talked to and with the injury concerns that come with it, that might have been as significant an issue as being in a foreign country. Who wants to get a potential injury somewhere you'd be worried about the level of care you'd get after?
- acieu - Dec 18, 2012 at 6:07 AM
Lupus came back because they didn't have a bar and grill attached to the rink.
- acieu - Dec 18, 2012 at 6:08 AM
Wouldn't it be more correct to say Lupul didn't have the "pucks" rather than balls?

Holiday's play for UCLA in question
There are 2 comments on the Daily Breeze story from Feb 22, 2009, titled Holiday's play for UCLA in question. In it, Daily Breeze reports that:A poor defensive first half landed Jrue Holiday on UCLA's bench for the opening nine minutes, 58 seconds of the second half.

Many years ago SI featured a front cover article, "THE BRUINS IN RUINS" They could very well run it again. How is it that UCLA has what is supposed to be the finest freshman class in the country and yet where is that talent? Holiday has been very disappointing and the others almost non-existent. Collison and Shipp have not lived up to their press clippings as well. The only bright spot has been Alfred Aboya. Having watched the Bruins forever, and Howland's tenure this is my overview. Basically, he does not trust his players and as a result they don't trust themselves. His substitution scheme reminds me of the Lavin days when you never knew who was on the floor. To allow a mediocre player, who will probably end up selling insurance next year, come into your home court and score 33 is outrageous. They have lost games this year where Howland was just out coached. In the Big Dance, they will be lucky to get to the second round.

Snow has joined the wild and wet weather chaos in many parts of New Zealand, particularly the South Island, with holidaymakers stranded and key services knocked out.
Been caught up in the wild weather? Send your photos, video and newstips to email@example.com
Several days of heavy rain compounded yesterday, with the West Coast and Fiordland bearing the brunt of the storm.
In Central Otago this morning, people trapped by heavy snowfall were rescued from Lindis Pass.
Several cars had to be abandoned in the area and a police communications spokesman said the snow meant it was slow going on State Highway 8.
Snow had fallen to relatively low levels in parts of South Canterbury and Central Otago.
In the township of Naseby, residents and holidaymakers awoke to find snow on the ground and a heavy dump visible in nearby mountains.
Local motel owner Stuart Hore said the light skiff that fell in Naseby overnight was lighter than the 10cm of heavy, wet snow that fell in the area last January.
Despite two January snowfalls in a row, snow at this time of year was very unusual, Hore said. However, Naseby was 600 metres above sea level, and at that elevation "anything can happen".
"I'm 74 and at least three times we've had snow on Christmas Day or thereabouts," he said. On those occasions there had been 5cm to 8cm of snow.
He said the overnight fall would just be a memory by morning tea.
MetService chief forecaster Peter Kreft said snow was unusual for this time of year, but it had not been unexpected as a southwest change followed the front that had brought heavy rain to parts of the South Island.
Overnight the front had raced north, and by 7am most of the North Island was behind it.
It had been a classic northwesterly cloud band-type storm, Kreft said.
"The distinctive thing about this one was that the northwest flow over the South Island was very moist and lasted for several days."
Queenstown had the lowest temperature this morning, with 6.5 degrees Celsius but that was expected to increase to a high of 14C.
Temperatures in most other places were not particularly cold, with the likes of Westport and Greymouth reaching highs of 18C and 16C.
Rising river levels meanwhile claimed the Wanganui River bridge near Harihari yesterday, with flooding washing out one end of the bridge and forcing the closure of State Highway 6, the main road along the West Coast.
The washout severed a key fibre-optic cable, cutting most methods of communication between about 1000 Westland homes and the rest of the country.
Motorists heading north were forced take lengthy detours - of up to 400 kilometres to reach Christchurch via Wanaka.
The washed-out bridge, which linked the West Coast main highway to the Haast Pass, will be out of action for at least two days.
New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) spokesman Ewart Barnsley said contractors were working to divert the river back to its original course by shifting boulders.
A structural engineer was also on site to inspect the 180-metre single-lane bridge.
''We need to know what damage, if any, has been done to that structure,'' Barnsley said.
The agency was also preparing to bring in a temporary bridge, known as a Bailey bridge, from Christchurch to get the road reopened quickly.
''We'll get it open as quickly as we can and only when we have assurance that it's safe,'' he said.
Snap chief executive Mark Petrie said the severed fibre-optic cable prevented residents from making emergency 111 calls, although a technician with a satellite phone was monitoring the phone exchange to ensure emergency calls were put through.
Telecom spokeswoman Kate Woodruffe said cell towers at Fox Glacier, Franz Josef and Mt Hercules had been damaged by the storm.
With access to the towns blocked, technicians would have to wait until it was safe to be helicoptered in to assess and repair the damage.
A slip last night blocked State Highway 6 between Inangahua and Westport in the lower Buller Gorge, but those trapped had since been rescued. Flooding also closed sections of State Highway 73 from Cass through Arthur's Pass to Otira, which remained closed this morning.
Flooding has also closed State highway 7 at the turn-off from Hanmer Springs to Springs Junction. SH69 from Inangahua to Reefton, the Buller Gorge and SH67 from Fairydown to Mussel Point were also shut off this morning.
Fire crews in Harihari and Whataroa had also checked on residents in the two West Coast towns, while the Fire Service had attended about five calls in Hokitika for flooding and helped move people's property to higher ground.
Police called for the evacuation of huts and low-lying areas around the Rakaia River, with flooding making the river ''extremely dangerous''.
Environment Canterbury South Canterbury duty flood controller Tony Henderson said both the Waitaki and Rangitata rivers had risen about 500mm during 48 hours.
The Rangitata went from an average of less than 100 cubic metres per second (cumecs) flow to 1800 cumecs in less than 18 hours.
Henderson expected the river levels to drop as the weather system moved north later today.

Recent French Riviera (Cote d'Azur) reviews
"My partner and I just spent two weeks at the Vieux Moulin and we had a lovely romantic getaway. It is secluded, on a large property with olive trees and a pool, yet a short walk to the charming village of Seillans. Our favorite memory will be of dining on the terrace with a wonderful view of the village. We used it as a base to visit many nearby villages and towns in Provence and the Riviera - some with world-class museums. I highly recommend it!"Guest: Goldie Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 16, 2014View listing

Anthony Hilton: Lloyds share sell-off must be open to all
Published: 10 July 2013
Updated: 14:16, 10 July 2013
The Lloyds Bank share price has again hit new highs for the year as the belief builds that the bank has indeed turned the corner and the Government is realistic in wanting to sell part of its shareholding in the next weeks and months.
But even at this early stage in the process towards that sale, there are signs that it is going to be yet another privatisation where the Government colludes with the investment banks to shut out the retail investor. It is understandable that it should prefer a process where it has to deal only with 100 or so investing institutions which have the potential to buy in tens of millions of pounds, rather than trying to engage with tens of thousands of retail investors — or their agents — who are not only vastly more numerous but also buy in much smaller amounts.
But it is not right for the Government to go along with this — not if it still believes in shareholder democracy, and not if it believes in natural justice.
It is the retail investor as a taxpayer whose money has propped the bank up these last few years. It is also the retail investor who by and large has stayed loyal and stuck with the shares, rightly or wrongly, while the professional investors ran for the hills. It is not right they should now be denied the opportunity to participate directly in the upside as the bank returns to normal.
Stockbroker Paul Killik, a tireless campaigner for a fairer deal for retail investors, suspects a more sinister agenda. He points out that the EU Prospectus Directive differentiates between offers made to professional investors and to private investors, there being more onerous reporting and disclosure requirements if private investors are involved. This is meant to protect them but it has been turned by the investment banks into a device to steer IPOs into the hands of the professionals.
There is also a powerful community in Brussels, and indeed in the UK, which would prefer private investors only to save through investment funds and to be precluded from direct investment in their own right. Running funds is after all an extremely profitable business — witness the results of Henderson Group yesterday. With a captive market, it would be even more profitable. So there is possibly another agenda here — a long-term squeeze on individual share buyers. It is sad to see a Conservative-led Government seemingly willing to go along with it.
George Osborne has fired the starting gun on the sale of the Government's Lloyds and RBS stake It should be made of sterner stuff, and there is also a good public policy reason why it should insist on a retail allocation even if this means the sale takes a bit longer to get organised. It would help people believe that the system works for them.
Much is made of the need to restore trust in financial services, but the problem is not that people expect financial institutions to collapse, or that they expect the fund manager to run off with their money. It is simply that they do not expect to get a fair deal.
Shutting them out from the Lloyds sale would confirm to many that they don't. For months, we have had rhetoric about the need to restore trust from the great and the good of the City, but actions speak so much louder than words. The forthcoming share sale is an opportunity to be even-handed between those on the inside and those on the outside. But if that opportunity is not taken and if the sale discriminates against the public at large and in favour of the City institutions, the public will draw its own conclusions.
Research gets thumbs down
Businesses are increasingly using social media A recent survey suggested that the more affluent and older you are, the less likely you are to want to be addressed by social media in general and Twitter in particular.
In the context of wealth managers using these techniques to deal with their clients it was pointed out rather brutally that no one wanted to be a friend of a banker, even on Facebook.
So the company investor relations professionals who have taken part in the excellent annual Citigate Dewe Rogerson survey of trends in investor relations may well be on to something. The survey confirms that the use of social media in their business is on the up — as you would indeed expect. But a staggering 78% of those polled see social media channels as time-consuming, and offering limited value in the context of their work. This being the case, they would enjoy the research done by an academic in the US, whose conclusion was that in excess of 99.9% of tweets had no recognisable merit or value whatsoever.
Coming back to the survey — and more important in the short term, at least in terms of the orderly functioning of markets — is that a record 41% of the investor relations professionals reported a decline in the quality of the analysis produced by banks and brokers — the sell side.
This ties in with a comment made privately by the head of a major institution — nothing to do with the survey — who said the other day that too many of his people thought research simply meant asking the finance director to guide them towards the next quarterly earnings figure.
It is alarming nevertheless, the more so because companies would appear to be responding to the exhortations of government and are trying to talk more about medium- to long-term strategy. But is anyone listening? Presumably not if so many feel the quality of research is on the skids.

Jason Patric's Ex-Girlfriend Alleges Abuse, Use of Anti-Semitic Slurs
UPDATED: Danielle Schreiber, who had a son with the actor via sperm donation, claims Patric told her "You're the kind of woman who likes to get hit."
Jason Patric's ex-girlfriend says he abused her psychologically and physically.
Danielle Schreiber, who used the actor's sperm to have a son via artificial insemination, made a series of disturbing allegations against him in a recent interview with Rolling Stone's Vanessa Grigoriadis, who describes herself as a "friendly acquaintance" of Schreiber's.
Schreiber claims Patric threw a jar of almond butter at her after she failed to put the lid on tight; struck her face with a landline telephone; and grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the wall in his Santa Monica home, causing her to strike her head.
PHOTOS Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
"It was a cycle, a roller coaster, and I somehow accepted this kind of conduct," said Schreiber. "Jason would apologize, and then he would go out of town for an acting job. And while he was away, I'd romanticize things and think about the potential or what could be."
Schreiber and Patric are embroiled in a legal battle over their son, Gus. Patric launched Stand Up for Gus, a nonprofit advocating for the rights of fathers, and has become the face of sperm donors attempting to exercise paternal rights.
When the couple broke up in 2008, Schreiber decided to have a baby by artificial insemination. She says Patrick wrote her a 29-page handwritten letter in which he said he loved her and offered for her to use sperm he had previously put in a sperm bank. She says she had planned to use an anonymous donor but was swayed by the letter.
PHOTOS 35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies
Schreiber says Patric did not initially want to be a father to Gus — or even tell the boy he was his parent. The couple briefly got back together in 2011 when Gus was just over a year old, and Patric allegedly became angry when Schreiber suggested they tell Gus he was the father.
She also claims that Patric directed anti-Semitic slurs toward her, such as "Ms. Jew Schreiber" and "Jew cunt," during this period. She told Rolling Stone that Patric once said to her, "You're the kind of woman who likes to get hit." But she explained that "it wasn't in a kinky way."
A rep for Patric did not respond to a request for comment, but he denied claims of abuse in a statement to Rolling Stone.
PHOTOS 10 Highest Grossing Movie Sequels
"It is unfortunate for Gus that Ms. Schreiber is willing to stoop to such a level and disparage the child's father in the public eye," his lawyer told the magazine. "Mr. Patric will continue to press forward with his legal rights so that he and Gus are reunited. The timing of Ms. Schreiber's sudden media campaign should make anyone suspicious."

Tag Oil asked for empirical science-based evidence that fracking contaminates water aquifers (Taranaki Daily News, January 11).
AP has provided that evidence and I attach a link to AP's report here. It is surprising Tag Oil is not in possession of this information so relevant to their business and our environment.
With the evidence now in, there is no need to debate the issue. Kiwis need to decide: do we want to sit back and allow Tag Oil to foul our nation's water supply? The authorities seem unable to stop them and Tag Oil does not dispute much of the leaflet's content including ''with 2,720,358 acres to prospect Tag Oil is anticipating a widespread unconventional drilling campaign''.
http://www.usatoday.com/ story/money/business/ 2014/01/05/some-states-confirm- water-pollution-from-drilling/ 4328859/
Quote from above link follows:
''Some people who rely on well water near drilling operations have complained about pollution, but there's been considerable confusion over how widespread such problems are. For example, starting in 2011, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection aggressively fought efforts by the AP and other news organisations to obtain information about complaints related to drilling.
''The department has argued in court filings that it does not count how many contamination 'determination letters' it issues or track where they are kept in its files.
''Steve Forde, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition, the leading industry group in Pennsylvania, said in a statement that 'transparency and making data available to the public is critical to getting this historic opportunity right and maintaining the public's trust'.
When the state Environmental Department determines natural gas development has caused problems, Forde said, ''our member companies work collaboratively with the homeowner and regulators to find a speedy resolution''.

On Jan. 29, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ordered Sharon Vaughn--the mother of Hollywood actor Vince Vaughn--and her hedge fund, Directors Financial Group, to pay disgorgements and prejudgment interest totaling $808,000 as well as to distribute all of the fund's assets, totaling $22.5 million, to its investors, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC filed a complaint last March alleging that Vaughn defrauded her clients in the by investing in a fraudulent prime-bank trading scheme, contrary to the fund's disclosed trading strategy. Vaughn failed to put on the brakes and perform proper due diligence on the trading scheme or its promoters, and entered into a profit-sharing agreement that ceded 25% of the fund's profits to one of the scheme's promoters.
Vaughn allegedly gave complete control of the fund's assets to the promoters, which is in violation of the terms of the fund's prospectus, and tried to cover up her fraud by withholding documents from—and providing fake documents to—the SEC's exam staff.
In addition to the above-mentioned orders and relief previously ordered, the court has ordered Vaughn to pay a $200,000 civil penalty. She consented to the orders without admitting or denying the allegations. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois has also indicted the two promoters associated with the trading scheme.
