Hence, this section of the site has been created to host those pages--the spreadsheet example, the two brothers example, and others, so that they can be referenced by those with questions, and not have to be written anew for each interested correspondent.
Click the page title below to reach the page described.
It would be incorrect to say that this is the first coherent explanation of the temporal anomalies theory used in these pages; that honor goes to Appendix 11: Temporal Anomalies in Multiverser: Referee's Rules, the role playing game in which everything is possible. However, this was the first time the fragments of information scattered through the movie analyses here were gathered into one explanation on the web site. It remains the starting point for understanding what some have dubbed the Replacement Theory of Time.
Nova produced a special in which the science behind the wormhole theory of time travel was presented and discussed, and then blurred with the metaphysical views of several scientists who were contradicting each other. This page distinguishes the physics from the metaphysics, and briefly addresses the flaws in the primary contenders for time theory, the Fixed Time Theory and the Parallel Dimensions Theory.
Parallel Dimension Theory takes two major forms and a lot of variants. Either you believe that all the universes already exist, and the time traveler merely moves to another (the primary theory, and the one least abusive to the laws of thermodynamics); or you believe that the arrival of the time traveler at a point in his own past immediately creates a diverging universe whose history has been the same to that point. An examination of two brothers shows why the possibility of diverging or parallel dimensions to which we might be able to travel is completely irrelevant to time travel theory.
In the main, discussion of time in these pages treats it as something in motion; this page suggests for those who have trouble with that perspective that time is more easily understood as something stationary through which we move. By looking at how a spreadsheet program works on a computer, we can see how time might function such that change is both instantaneous and sequential.
Most fixed time stories make the same mistake. In an effort to show how time is unalterable, they create looped chains of events, and fail to recognize that what they have described could never happen--it is contrary to basic rules of causality, as explained in this page.
The Fixed Time theory insists that what didn't happen can't happen, and that if you attempted to create a paradox you would fail. Yet those who advocate this position don't see the absurdity inherent within it.
Upon reading Poul Anderson's collected Time Patrol stories it was evident to me that no established theory of time could account for the stories as he presented them. I began pondering whether there was another way to consider temporal changes, and started working on such a theory. I consider it woefully inadequate and woefully incomplete, but it is a beginning of an idea some of my readers might find intriguing.
Although I receive e-mails frequently, it is rare that I receive thesis papers, and rarer yet that they attempt to present competing ideas in temporal mechanics. Mr. Koshkin forwarded his paper to me, and invited me to share it and respond. My response is linked to his paper as footnotes, as well as organized in the next page listed here.
Although I was impressed by Mr. Koshkin's efforts, I found his theory lacking and his criticisms insufficiently supported. We continued to discuss some of these points privately, but this was my response to his paper. It is linked to sections of his work, and quotes from it.

I have changed the title of my Horse-Keeping page from 'Natural' to 'Holistic'. This is since I have been reading some articles by a NZ guy named Andy Beck. Although Andy does with his horse what most people would refer to as 'natural' he states that nothing we do with horses is natural purely because we have taken them out of the wild and domesticated them and we usually expect to ride them!
After analysing my own intentions with horses I came to the
conclusion that what I am trying to do is actually keep my horses
holistically ie. a whole horse approach. Since I keep my horses barefoot
this is crucial to the well being of my horses as anything that is
wrong will often be shown in the feet first eg. poor diet, stress etc.
As you know from my other blog posts I am currently on my way to the UK with 2 of my Spanish horses so
I will keep you updated as to how they cope being on a livery yard and
kept of grass. I suspect it will be very interesting and a steep
learning curve!


text: Would anyone be interested in marching to the stadium from Lincoln Park before the Fc Dallas game? If we could get 5 thousand dc fans (hopefully more) to march in support of keeping United in DC (area) that can catch some tv time that would be great. We are caught in the middle of the DC owners and our local governments and are the ones who will suffer most if united leaves. We want to send out the message that we don't want a FREE STADIUM, but we also do not want to lose our team. We united fans want to pay for it through ticket sales, parking, etc. Again its important for us to show that although we are United fans we are not against the dc government and we do not want the city of DC to pay for the entire stadium. We are marching so that an agreement can be reached by the dc government and our owners. I have never been to Lincoln park but based on google maps its located on East capitol st which leads you directly the front entrance of RFK. If we can somehow gather around 4:30 and march into the stadium around 6pm that would be great. Yes you would miss a couple of hours of drinking, but if we don't do anything we might be without UNITED forever. We need to bring ALL of our banners, flags, drums, bombo. etc. I am sure we could park in our regular dc lots and walk over to Lincoln Park and gather there. Remember we are not Pro-Stadium Anti-Government We are Pro-keeping United in the dc (area) To Barra, Eagles, La norte leaders please help with this March, if you have other ideas or have a march already planned. thats fine, but we need to do something to keep United in the DC (area) 75 people marching (like in annapolis) will not make a difference, we need thousands marching. If we are going down we need to go down fighting. Vamos UNITED

In case you haven't heard, the Chicago Blackhawks are going through a pretty rough patch right now. A 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators Tuesday night was their 9th in a row.
To make matters worse, the tilt versus the Preds was the 7th of 9 straight road games for Chicago, so they won't be playing on fresh legs any time soon. Worse, the group staggers into New York to face the NHL-leading Rangers Thursday before ending the road trip Saturday versus the Blue Jackets — perhaps the only time a team has looked forward to playing in Columbus.
When the Blackhawks began this losing streak, they were perched comfortably atop the NHL with 64 points. 9 games later, their 65 points have them dangling perilously on the precipice of the postseason cutoff, only three points up on the 9th-place Calgary Flames.
With a run of haplessness like this, it's not surprising to hear many calling for drastic changes all across the board. Trade Patrick Kane for Ryan Miller. Fire the coach. Blow up the core. Fire the guy whose job is fire the coach and blow up the core. Reduce the population by one-third. Eat the living.
These are rash decisions, but the best solution might be even more rash: breathe deep, and take a page from the Vancouver Canucks.
In January of 2009, after opening the new year with a win, the Canucks put together a streak of epic haplessness, rattling off 1 win in its next 11 games and, at one point, 8 straight losses. See, Vancouver's been there, Chicago. They know what you're going through. The Canucks know all about what it's like to have the Nashville Predators kick you when you're down: prior to dealing the Blackhawks their 9th straight loss, the Predators dealt the Canucks their 7th straight on January 28, 2009, in a game that ended 5-3.
Chicago's biggest issues right now are spotty goaltending and the disappointing play of their captain, but it could be worse: imagine if both were the exact same problem. Roberto Luongo — at that time, the Canucks' captain — was injured for the beginning of the losing streak, which meant goaltending from the two-headed monster of Curtis Sanford and Jason LaBarbera, who allowed 15 goals in 3 games. Then, Luongo's return did nothing to stop the bleeding, as the Canucks' captain surrendered 20 goals over his next 5 games.
Things were dismal. Mason Raymond fought with Willie Mitchell at practice. Mats Sundin just wasn't working out — Iain MacIntyre called a line of Sundin, Kesler, and Burrows "Two cheetahs and a Snuffleupagus." Someone in Toronto reported that Alain Vigneault had been fired, a move for which many were calling. Many urged new General Manager Mike Gillis to blow up the rest of the team like the roof of Nakatomi Plaza Building.
Instead, Gillis stayed the course, gave the team a vote of confidence, and rode it out. Eventually, the unnaturally clutch Alex Burrows put the streak out to pasture with a breakaway goal versus Carolina:
As it turned out, the team wasn't as bad as the streak had made them look. The Canucks rewarded Gillis for his trust in them by going 23-7-2 over the remaining two months of the season, winning the Northwest Division and sweeping the St. Louis Blues in the first round before falling in the second round to the Chicago Bla — oh. Riiiiiiiiight.
On second thought, I hope the Blackhawks never win again.Tags: Chicago Blackhawks, epic losing streaks, Rivalry
The attempted stick-break. The dragon-slaying. The wrap-around on Thomas. "Unnaturally clutch" sounds about right for Burr.
But yeah, please let the Blackhawks recover so we can face them in the second or, hockey gods willing, third round this year. Wouldn't it be nice to vanquish a playoff rival with a trophy on the line?
I can't lie, I'm loving the losing streak. But don't we think this is just the chickens coming home to roost? After all, the Hawks only made the playoffs last year because the Stars choked on the last day of the season, after the Hawks had previously blown a chance to clinch a spot on their own terms. Regardless of what happened in the first round last year or the first part of the season this year, the Hawks remain a very top-heavy team, without depth at forward and defence, and with questionable goaltending to boot. This happens to a lot of teams post-Stanley Cup: the biggest stars get paid, and the complimentary pieces get traded.
I defecately hear you on this one. Interesting how quickly my loathing for the craphawks has faded to nothing more than indelifference, and some pleasure at seeing them swim in the toilet. It would seem that I can only carry hatred for one team at a time.
Goddamn it, all this is going to do is position the Blackhawks to face the Canucks in the first round again, leading our collective fanbase to underestimate them again in spite of all signs pointing to them being extremely dangerous.
Honestly, unless the Canucks prevail injury-free in 5 games or less, I don't want to see this happen. Playing with fire.
As a hockey fan, I do want the Hawks to perform better because they are a fun team to watch. As a Canucks fan, they are an easy team to hate with their incredible arrogance. Two players trash talking publicly, Carcillo and Bolland, not to mention Patrick Kane's antics. Not only did Bolland call out the Sedins, but the city of Vancouver and all its residents. Really, they are their own worst enemies and believe too much of their own press. They thought they would sail through the season and win the cup with little effort. Thanks Toews for exposing your team for what they are…beatable.
Feel bad for the Blackhawk fans? You must be joking!
The absolutely best part of slaying that dragon last was watching you-know-who in the front row choking back the tears.. I mean how many more movies can that guy sneak a hawks jersy into? Come ON!
Personally I just don't understand the whole idea that we can hate the team but love the fans. It just makes no sense; the fans and the team go hand and hand. The team plays like it does because it is the personality of the fans and city that they live in. Sure, I've got nothing against some young kid catching her first Hawks game, but we all know that those same sweet children grow up to be crass drunken bores.
Oh wait, maybe I was talking about Boston…
You meant "against", not "in", Carolina…? It was a home game after all.
And yep, I do remember that clutch SH goal by our Mr. Clutch… tied 2-2 with only a few minutes to go in the 3rd, Burr put his team ahead for good with his patented backhander… What a beauty!
The goal made me jump out of my seat in joy and – who knew? – it was also the beginning of a complete turnaround for this franchise. And as for the Hawks' current loosing streak…
"They got exposed for what they really are." And that's all I have to say about that.
funny how that works. the hawks came into vancouver a couple of weeks ago and put on a show. if not for schneider the canucks would have surely lost big. the hawks looked great and had me thinking that the canucks might not be a match for them this year. that thought produced a queasiness of a most unpleasant kind. but the hawks have lost every game since. weird. weird, how some teams can swing high and low.
my advice to hawk fans would be not to panic. just fire Q and maybe trade off keith and toews and you'll be just fine. might wanna get rid of hossa and sharp for good measure too. but after that don't change a thing.
This article lost all credibility with the line, "Chicago's biggest issues right now are spotty goaltending and the disappointing play of their captain." No, Chicago's biggest issue is our lack of defensive depth causing our top guys to get worn out playing way too many minutes. We have too many 5/6/7 defensemen and not enough 2nd shift D-Men.
No, I think Chicago's biggest issue is your spotty goaltending, disappointing play of your captain, lack of defensive depth, inability to play a good road game, inability to play for 60min, 4th worst PK, 0-16 PP in last 6 games, being outcoached by the opposition, too much complacency….
I could care less about the Hawks or their fans…..arrogant and yappy, all the things they accuse Vancouver of but squared. All I am curious about is how in the heck Dave Bolland can be scared to go out alone in Vancouver and yet when on the ice is not scared to highstick or slash anybody. I have never seen such an ignored player on the ice, ignored by the refs that is.. Maybe he should just try go out in Vancouver alone and see if nobody notices….a kind of a small headed guy, slightly tall, sneaking furtively down alleys with a Hawks jersey on.
Dear PITB,
Can you write a more relevant blog than this? It is well researched and written as always and everyone care a lot about the Hawks here.
ha ha.. sorry I could not resist.. I know it is bad form to laugh at your own jokes but I find that incredibly funny.
I'm real disturbed by how many Canucks' fans are failing to take joy in Chicago's epic failure here…enjoy it like a real Canucks fan who hates Chicago! It's awesome, they suck! Personally I have a strong suspicion that they're intentionally tanking in order to draw us in the first round again. Don't act like it hasn't crossed your mind, those guys over there are devious and wickedly clever.

Nicki Minaj is as famous for her ability to spit incredible rhymes as she is for the scandalous, sexy and outrageous outfits she wears. It seems that every time Ms. Minaj walks out the door, takes the stage or snaps a selfie on Instagram, she's making a shocking fashion statement. And we can't get enough of her lascivious looks!
When Nicki Minaj first exploded onto the hip hop scene in 2009, she was as hyped up for her rap skills as she was for her eye-popping ensembles. She not only brought an ample amount of feminine sex appeal to the game, but she also brought a sense of theatricality.
Since then, she's stunned us by showing up on award show red carpets looking either like an alien, a sex goddess, a provacateur or all three at the same time. She showed up at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards wearing a simple pair of khakis and a not so simple corset that looked like bondage wear. Soon all eyes were on her and her, uh, cleavage.
Nicki's decolletage actually caused a firestorm of controversy earlier this year when some people thought that she was dressed too sexily for the family show, American Idol. On the night in question, Minaj was wearing a tight red dress with a cut out for her cleavage.
However, Nicki isn't just a fashion diva on stage and on screen–she also pushes the sartorial envelope in her day-to-day life, too. She frequently posts photos of herself in super sexy (and super tight) outfits on Instagram. She upped the ante this past Halloween when she posted a selfie of herself as a naughty and nearly naked police officer.
The 20 looks on our list are either so weird, so racy or so non-existent that we're still talking about them years after Nicki Minaj's taken them off.

Wendy Renfro points to several ways she saved taxpayers money while on the School Board of Highlands County as examples why she's the best qualified to be the next Tax Collector.
She also says her varied experience in private business as well as being an elected official demonstrates her abilities as a public servant. As a co-owner of Highlands Aviation Inc., she's been in charge of the business end of the family operation and she spent 12 years on the school board before deciding to not run for re-election in 2006.
Why do you want to be Highlands County's next Tax Collector?
The first thing I did when the position came available was I looked up Florida statute and what the duties were for tax collector. I know I can fulfill those duties. I truly enjoyed serving the public as a school board member. I did self-imposed term limits because I don't believe anyone should camp out in an office. I did not seek re-election in 2006. When this came available I knew I still had a lot to offer. I truly enjoy working for the people.
What would the public notice about the office if you are elected?
I would definitely continue the public service with a smile. Mr. Bryan commanded that in his office. You need to have a partnership with the public and you need to listen to your employees and be an administrator to them. But you can do it in such a way that you feel everyone has input into how the office is being run.
Mr. Bryan took us into the 21st century as far as technology goes. You learn this by networking with other tax collectors. There is to be a transition plan to formulate the plan for local tax collectors to issue drivers licenses, and present it next February. It's imperative that whoever gets in there becomes a part of that transition plan. The state will still oversee it but the tax collector has to do it.
It's important to educate the people that we will take a loss when we take over issuing drivers licenses and what kind of documents you need to get one. I just went through it and it wasn't a pleasant process. I really had no idea what they would accept to renew my driver's license. I've known people who went down there three times and still couldn't get it.
How would you describe your management style?
The way Mr. Bryan had the staff set up, it was very efficient. Everybody knows their job. He believed in cross-training and it's important that you keep the lines of communication open. You need to have the strength to make decisions that are best for everyone. At the school board I asked a lot of questions. That made some people uncomfortable, but it was my duty to do as much homework as possible do make an educated decision. The only way to know all the nuances of what's going on in the office is to bring everyone together in an occasional meeting. You need open communication. That's my style. Keep that door open.
Why are you the best candidate for this position?
I have unique experience. I have private sector experience with my husband owning a business. I've have 12 years of experience going over a $112 million budget line by line with the school board. We did not get involved with day-to-day operations, but if the superintendent terminated somebody and they appealed it, we did handle the appeal.
One thing that I feel I stand above everybody else is that I got on the school board in 1994, in six months I was on the Florida School Boards Association board of directors. I was elected by five counties. Those five counties chose me to represent them. They immediately elected me to the chair of the legislative appropriations committee. The following year they elected me chair of the entire legislative committee. I had to track all legislation. As well as fulfilling all my duties at home, I had to do a lot of work in Tallahassee. I was able to network and keep ahead of the laws. I built a network up there. I think that's imperative to anyone in local office to be able to communicate with Tallahassee.

Hey guys, you won't forget about me, right? Guys? GUYS?
The Canucks are going to be in a very strange and unfamiliar situation on Tuesday: everyone will be healthy. Or, at least, as healthy as they can possibly be this season, considering Manny Malhotra is evidently done. On Sunday night, Alain Vigneault made the announcement that David Booth was cleared to play and would be back in the lineup at some point during the Canucks' upcoming four-game road trip.
Astonishingly, in the time it took Ryan Kesler and David Booth to return to game action, no one else on the roster suffered a new injury, meaning the Canucks needed to clear a roster spot to reincorporate the shoot-first winger. With Jordan Schroeder playing well, that left three options: Andrew Ebbett, Andrew Alberts, and Cam Barker.
Because the Canucks are committed to keeping both Alberts and Barker in the package, where they'll be worth more someday, Ebbett was placed on waivers Monday. Like the rest of the Canucks, he'll be heading to Chicago. Unlike the rest of the Canucks, he'll be staying there, so long as he doesn't get picked up by another team.
Let's take a look at what Booth's health means for the Canucks (beyond the fact that they'll be able to play him now).
Simply put, it's good news.
Regardless of what you think of his hobbies, personal beliefs, and Twitter persona, he makes the Canucks a better team. More importantly, he makes Ryan Kesler a more effective player. For all the talk last season of Kesler needing to use his linemates more, when Kesler was with Booth, the Canucks tilted the ice in their favour. The Canucks can only hope that Booth and Kesler can do this again soon. Getting the American Express line of Booth, Kesler, and Chris Higgins back together might help.
Unfortunately, if they do this, it will means a demotion for Zack Kassian, who is still tied for the Canucks' goal-scoring lead despite a 7-game dry spell. On Sunday, Kassian was briefly shuffled down to the fourth line, with Dale Weise taking a couple shifts with Kesler and Higgins. If Booth returns Tuesday against the Blackhawks, Kassian will likely find himself on the fourth line again, as Vigneault seems to like the trio of Jordan Schroeder, Jannik Hansen, and Mason Raymond, and still seems allergic to playing two raw prospects in Kassian and Schroeder on the same line.
Quite frankly, Kassian deserves the demotion, as he's made some poor decisions in the defensive zone — a guaranteed way to earn Vigneault's ire. Even with the Wolves, however, Kassian was streaky, so it seems likely that he'll earn his way back up the lineup in the future. Hopefully on the fourth line, he'll also start taking the body more and rediscover his defensive game, which is when he seems to find success offensively as well.
With Ebbett gone, the Canucks will have just four centres on the active roster, with Aaron Volpatti as the thirteenth forward, (provided he doesn't remain in the lineup due to a paperwork error).
Volpatti has managed to earn his spot on the Canucks, and it's significant that he wasn't considered for the trip on the waiver wire. He currently leads the Canucks in penalty minutes and is tied with Maxim Lapierre for the team lead in hits, while still holding his own in terms of puck possession. He isn't, however, as good an option as Weise or Kassian.
By not waiving Alberts or Barker, the Canucks will continue to carry eight defencemen on the roster. They seem wary of injuries on the blueline, which is understandable given the past several seasons. It's surprisingly that we're over a quarter of the way through the season without Alberts or Barker needing to step into the lineup, but the Canucks are wise not to count on that good fortune to continue.
With all hands on deck, the Canucks have an impressive and diverse lineup that should give opposing coaches fits. They'll have the puck possession style of the top line, a powerful two-way line, a speedy third line, and a defensively responsible fourth line with a pinch of scoring punch.
Of course, it'll be up to the players to make what looks good on paper look good on the ice.Tags: Andrew Ebbett, david booth

really? it seems to me that last year's kesler was the least effective that he'd been for quite a while. and while i don't disagree that young kassian may have a few things to learn defensively, i see him as a huge upgrade offensively. in fact if kesler had potted the beautiful set-up from kassian vs the stars people would be singing a completely different tune.
to play kassian on the 4th line is to squander him. some guys, guys like kassian, schroeder and hodgson, need to playing with better players in order to blossom.
other guys, like booth, just get drafted high and ride that for the rest of their careers. just what has booth done to earn his 4.5 mil per? where are the numbers? where are the results? the excuse that he was playing on a bad team with the panthers no longer holds. how does a guy get so much primetime icetime with a president's cup winner, put up measly numbers and still be considered an effective player?
it boggles the mind.
Booth was drafted late in the second round. Kassian, Schroeder, and Hodgson were all first round draft picks. So why aren't they riding that so far in their careers?
As for numbers, Booth has played three full seasons without any major injuries and he scored 20+ goals in all three, with a career-high of 31. In 2009-10, when his season was shortened to 28 games with a concussion from a blindside hit, he had 8 goals, a 23-goal pace. Last season he played 62 games, missing a bunch thanks to a dirty knee-on-knee hit. He scored 16 goals – a 21-goal pace.
I won't really argue that he's overpaid, really, but Booth has a $4.25 million cap hit, a contract he signed after 60 points in 72 games. At the time, that certainly seemed like fair value and the Panthers couldn't predict that he'd get a concussion the next season. Comparable contracts include Joffrey Lupul and Loui Eriksson, but also guys like Jakub Voracek, James Van Reimsdyk, Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky, Scott Hartnell, and Kris Versteeg. Versteeg is actually an interesting comparable, as he's basically a 20+ goalscorer like Booth and has had similar point totals.
Of the others, Lupul surprised everyone by becoming a first line forward in Toronto and Eriksson is underpaid, though he's only cracked 30 goals once. Voracek has never scored 20 goals in the NHL and cracked 50 points once. Van Reimsdyk has one season with 20+ goals, though he's gotten off to a great start to this season.
Callahan has similar point totals to Booth. Dubinsky has two 20+ goal seasons, but scored just 10 last season, albeit in a more defensive role. Hartnell has generally been a 20+ goal scorer in his career, with one 30 goal season, prior to a massive 37-goal season last year, helped along by a career year from Claude Giroux.
Basically, what I'm saying is that for $4.25 million in the NHL, you're generally going to get a guy who scores 20-30 goals and 40-50 points. That's David Booth. If you think he's ineffective, that's on you, not him.
nice reply. ouch. i shoulda checked his draft postiton. egg meet face.
still, he didn't score 20-30 goals. he scored 16 goals. pro-rate away but i'm still going to wait for him to hit an actual 25 goals in the western conference before declaring him good value. pre-concussion in the southeast is a different time and place.
i see, as you've heard before, booth as an energetic skater who doesn't have much of a shot, can't pass, and doesn't hit that much. he doesn't think/see the ice or his teammates that well. basically his brain hasn't caught up to his legs.
there is a much smaller sample size for kassian but so far,i like the way he sees the ice. he makes nice passes, has a good shot and scoring instinct and uses his big body well. sure, he has to earn his icetime but i just think it would be a shame and a waste to see his confidence eroded on the 4th line.
i just want to see the numbers. so far, with a ton of ice time, he's scored 16 goals(and 13 assists, 14 assists if count the playoffs) as a canuck. if he wants to improve on that he can go ahead and do it. i'm all for it.
i just won't agree with the narrative that booth is kesler's most effective linemate until booth actually proves it with real production.
@ Akidd. You can check Booth's numbers in this blogpost. Kesler, Higgins and Booth made each other better last season.
I would like to see a Booth-Kesler-Kassian line. Keep Kassian on the 2nd line so he get's valuable minutes and can learn how to play while actually playing. This will also keep the Schroeder line (Raymond-Schroeder-Hansen) intact which has been pretty good lately. Higgins-Lapierre-Weise/Volpatti can form the 4th line; even though Higgins is too good to be just a 4th liner. But AV won't hesitate to move him up or down anyway so that will be fine.
Mostly though I think Kassian should be put in a position to succeed during the regular season as much as possible and as long as it doesn't clearly cost the Canucks points so that he learns how to play well. Young players need to play. Hopefully come play-off time, he will have learned what is expected of him and he can still contribute!
thanks for the link, frank. but i'm sorry, i just don't buy it. daniel has mentioned the possession numbers before and i didn't buy it then either. i watched a lot of games last year and what i often saw was booth flying into the o-zone, not looking for his teammates and holding the puck until everyone was covered and his only option was to flutter a weak wrist on net from a bad angle. this happened over and over again. yet it works out positively for possession stats because the canucks get a shot on net and an o-zone faceoff.
for 4.25 mil per booth needs to score goals. 16 goals and 13 assists in the regular season. 0 goals and one assist in the playoffs.
it's not that i think he doesn't deserve another chance. it's the revisionism regarding his sterling record that i object to.
I agree with this article on many levels, and this is the exact forward line combo I was proposing should happen since the first few games of the season. My only quibble is a small addition (see below).
I also think that playing with Yappy Lappy and our "Main Event" boxer will make Kassian a better tougher and more feared player in all three zones, possibly learning to draw penalties and be opportunistic on the breakout. Kassian is a great addition to the team, but I hope people don't forget that he's still a rookie who needs seasoning and the chance to play in different situations.
Here's the only thing that I think you should have added to the analysis:
If Booth does not find his game after a few (three or four?) games, put Booth on the Fourth line and bring Kassian up to play with Kes & Higgy. Or, maybe, switch Hansen with Booth (although I'm loving the "Speed Kills" line). AV is pretty good at rewarding performance, and I think he should be patient but not TOO patent with Booth.
As for the idea of demoting Higgins to the fourth line : Silly, just silly.
It's not that Higgy is too good for the fourth line, it's that he fits really well with Kes. They are both true two way players and that is a very valuable thing on a team with three scoring lines and one shut-down line. The two of them should play together as much as possible, and find a winger who fits in with them by adding some more scoring without sacrificing the ability to take the tough opposition — hopefully Booth (and I'm optimistic), possibly the Kassassin, maybe Hansen.
If ever Schroeder replaces Higgins on that line, I hereby advance-dub it "AmEx Gold".
Anyway, while I don't think the Canucks are ever facing a serious risk of Andrew Ebbett being claimed on waivers (and there are no more 50% recall waivers under this CBA, right? Lessening the risk further), I would think Cam Barker would be the safer guy to send down anyway, especially because all of the defensemen really need to get in some playing time if they're going to come into the lineup because of a sudden injury. Is anyone really comfortable with the idea of a guy like Barker or Alberts playing their first North American hockey game in over a year down the stretch drive because someone else went down?
Which leads me to another point: I don't like the NHL-wide refusal to rotate players in and out of the lineup like you see in other sports like soccer. Especially in a compressed season, I think everyone needs a break for down time / healing / watching from above, or whatever. If we could get away from the culture where a guy being scratched is "OMG! Coach's doghouse!" and just understand that the team is better off with everyone playing a little bit, and some playing a little bit less than always, it would be nice if a guy like Alberts could get in a game here and there and give any of the defense regulars a rest. I guess this happens a bit with the 13th forward, but even there not a ton.
Sedin Sedin Burrows
Booth Kesler Kassian
Raymond Schroeder Hansen
Higgins Lapierre Weise
Lineup allows you to roll 4 lines and keep everyone's minutes down. This is a compressed season and that counts. Basically the 4th line is a 4th line in name only – it's really a 3rd/checking line. You essentially have a First Scoring Line (Sedins), a First Checking Line (Kesler), a Second Scoring Line (Schroeder) and a Second Checking Line (Lapierre).

Al-Hallaj's Doctrine
[1]"Such as life, death, poverty and wealth" (Sidi Mustafa Basir).
[2]Al-Tabari narrates in his Tafsir on verses 39:67 and 114:1 from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, as well as Ibn al-Mundhir, Ibn Abi Hatim, Abu al-Shaykh in al-'Azama, and al-Suyuti in al-Durr al-Manthur: "A group of Jews came to the Prophet – Allah bless and greet him – and asked him: 'O Muhammad! Now, Allah created creation, but who created Him?' At this the Prophet – Allah bless and greet him – became angry so that his color changed and he upbraided them on behalf of His Lord, whereupon Gibril – upon him peace – came and calmed him, saying: 'Lower your wing [of mercy], O Muhammad! for the answer came to me from Allah to what they are asking about. Allah says: [Say: He is Allah, the One! Allah, the eternally Besought of all! He begets not nor was begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him] (112:1-4).' When the Prophet – Allah bless and greet him – recited it to them they said, 'Describe for us your Lord, what is His physical appearance, how are His arms and upper arms?' At this the Prophet – Allah bless and greet him – became even angrier than before and upbraided them again, whereupon Gibril came again and told him the same thing as before, bringing him as the answer to what they had asked: (And they esteem not Allah as He has the right to be esteemed. The whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)) (39:67)."
[3]"I.e. he completely differs from them because (There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him) (42:11)" (Sidi Mustafa Basir).
[4]"I.e. [letter are] the material of which are made His verses and evidences revealed to His Prophet Muhammad – Allah bless and greet him –" (Mahmud and Sharif).
[5]"I.e. It is not enough to believe He exists, but the evidence for its firm proof must be shown up and established" (Mahmud and Sharif).
[6]"I.e. Gnosis of Him with His Attributes is produced by upholding His Oneness" (Mahmud and Sharif). "Sidi 'Abd al-Salam ibn Mashish said: "O Allah, my Lord! Snatch me up from the quicksands of Tawhîd and drown me in the wellspring of the ocean of your Unicity" (Allâhumma anshilnî min awhâli al-tawhîdi wa'aghriqnî fî 'ayni bahri wahdâniyyatik) (Sidi Mustafa Basir). Cf. Shaykh Nuh Keller, trans., Invocations of the Shadhili Order (p. 77-78): "And pluck me from the mires of affirming unity, to the infinite space of singularizing the One, transcendently beyond absoluteness or conditionedness; And drown me in the very sea of Oneness" (wanshulnî min awhâli al-tawhîdi ilâ fadâ'i al-tafrîdi al-munazzahi 'an al-itlâqi wal-taqyîdi wa'aghriqnî fî 'ayni bahri al-wahda), cf. Awrad al-Tariqa al-Shadhiliyya (p. 77-78).
[7]"I.e. the mind" (Sidi Mustafa Basir).
[8]"I.e. His elevation is over His slave and consists in majesty and greatness, not an elevation of place" (Mahmud and Sharif).
[9]"I.e. the coming of His favor and descent of His command is without [His] movement or displacement" (Mahmud and Sharif).
[10]"I.e. from the disbelievers as proven by the verse [Allah is the Protecting Friend of those who believe. He brings them out of darkness into light. As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness](2:257)" (Sidi Mustafa Basir). This is also in the sense of bâ'in as already stated.

In 1856 the U.S. Congress passed the Guano Islands Act, which authorized U.S. citizens to take possesion of uninhabited oceanic islands anywhere in the world for the purpose of mining guano for fertilizer. More than 100 islands were occupied at various times in the second half of the 19th century. Nearly all these territorial claims have lapsed, but several islands have remained permanently in U.S. possession, including Navassa Island in the Caribbean and a number of small islands in the northern and central Pacific west and south of Hawaii.
Among the guano islands are several in the Phoenix Islands and Line Islands, located near the Equator in the central Pacific Ocean. In the 1930s, the U.S. government decided to send American settlers to several of these islands to establish U.S. sovereignty more clearly in the face of Japanese imperial expansion. Small lighthouses were built as part of five settlements, including the three described on this page. The other two were on Kanton (Canton) Island and Enderbury Island, but the U.S. claims to these islands were ceded to the new nation of Kiribati in the 1979 Treaty of Tarawa. These tiny colonies were short lived; all the settlers were withdrawn in 1942 after Kanton, Baker and Howland Islands were strafed by Japanese ships and planes based at Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands (also now in Kiribati). All the islands have been uninhabited ever since.
In 2009, the atolls of Baker, Howland, Jarvis, Wake, Johnston, and Palmyra and the Kingman Reef were incorporated into the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.

Managing Uncertain Data in Large Stream Systems and Scientific Applications
Uncertain data streams, where data is incomplete, imprecise, and even misleading, have been observed in a variety of environments. In many cases, the raw data collected is not directed queriable and hence, needs to undergo sophisticated query processing to derive useful high-level information. Also, feeding uncertain data streams directly to existing stream systems can produce results of unknown quality. The goal of this project is to design and develop a stream processing system that captures data uncertainty from data collection to query processing to final result generation. This project takes a principled approach grounded in probability and statistical theory to support uncertainty as a first-class citizen, and efficiently integrate this approach into high-volume stream processing. Specifically, the project has two following main contributions:

The Tlingit and Haida Central Council hopes to get federal funds to plan Southeast Alaska's future.
The council is applying for a 1.4 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to form a regional consortium aimed at developing a 20-year plan for the region. Details will come if the grant is approved, but Tlingit and Haida Business and Economic Development Manager Carrie Sykes says the plan could address a number of regional issues.
"There are needs for housing, there are needs for transportation, and of course we know that affordable energy is a definite need in our region," says Sykes. "But basically the way this HUD funding works is they want you to get buy in from the community and have a lot of input at the grassroots level."
Sykes says Southeast Conference and the Juneau Economic Development Council have offered to partner with Tlingit and Haida on the plan.
The Juneau Assembly last night (Monday) adopted a resolution of support for the grant application, and agreed to take part in the regional consortium. Sykes says other communities as well as tribes, businesses and nonprofits will also be asked to participate.
"I've been trying to pull in as many partners as we can find who have different types of interests in the region," Sykes says.
HUD invited the Central Council to submit a full grant application earlier this month, after reviewing a pre-application in August.
If the agency approves a grant to the council, Sykes says it will take three years for the plan to be developed.

Fruit abounds
The smell of fruitfulness surrounds
I am encouraged with your abundance
I want to sing
I want to dance
For you have supplied my ever need
My need is YOU LORD
You are the Lover of my soul
You are the embrace my heart desires
You are sweetness to my lips
You are the Kiss of dawn that makes my eyes shine
you are the stars that make my eyes twinkle
You are the light of day and the moon at night
That lightens my way and makes my load light
You are the oil of my Joy
You are my souls steadfast love fulfilling all I need

Bernard Pierce, who has led the Ravens in rushing for the last three weeks with better than 6 yards per carry, took the practice field Thursday after sitting out with a knee injury earlier this week.
Pierce took limited reps along with linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (ankle), fullback Vonta Leach (knee/ankle), receiver Torrey Smith (back) and receiver/special-teams player David Reed.
A Pro Bowl selection, Leach has been nursing his injuries for a while and has been mostly limited or held out of practice altogether in recent weeks. He hasn't missed a game this season and should be available for Saturday's divisional playoff game at the Denver Broncos (CBS, 4:30 p.m. ET).
"We aren't anticipating anybody missing this game," coach John Harbaugh said. "We look like we're in good shape."
Left guard Jah Reid (toe), who was replaced in the starting lineup by Bryant McKinnie last week's 24-9 wild-card playoff victory vs. the Indianapolis Colts, didn't practice for the second day in a row. McKinnie told CSN Baltimore earlier this week that he will be starting again. Rookie Kelechi Osemele was shifted from right tackle to Reid's spot. Michael Oher was moved from the left side to his natural position at right tackle.
Pierce has proven to be a perfect complement to Ray Rice, rushing for 315 yards on 49 carries as the Ravens have won two of their last three games. Rice has 180 yards rushing on 42 carries for a 4.3 average, but he only played two series in the regular-season finale and has major significant contributions in the passing attack.
Pierce and Rice combined for 220 all-purpose yards in the playoff victory last week.
The Ravens' injury report remained the same with its list of probables: WR Anquan Boldin (shoulder), WR Tandon Doss (ankle), LB Adrian Hamilton (illness), LB Ray Lewis (triceps), LB Albert McClellan (shoulder), DE Pernell McPhee (thigh), DT Haloti Ngata (knee), S Bernard Pollard (ribs), S Ed Reed (shoulder), CB Jimmy Smith (abdominal), LB Terrell Suggs (Achilles/biceps) and G Marshal Yanda (shoulder).

Japan's ODA and Myanmar Port Authority to collaborate in constructing Thilawa SEZ harbor
Posted on : 18 Apr, 2013
Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) agency will work hand in hand with the Myanmar Port Authority (MPA) in the construction of a new harbor facility in the Thilawa SEZ to support upcoming commercial activities in the zone.
In what is expected to be the first of several designated industrial development zones, Thilawa SEZ, which spans across 5,000 acres, will be divided into classes A and B – with A consisting of high-tech industries and B consisting of labor-intensive industries.
The zone's infrastructure will also be divided into off-site and on-site infrastructure, with the harbor, roads and bridges falling under the former and water sanitation system and electric wiring under the latter.
Governments and businessmen from both Myanmar and Japan will come together to form a joint venture developer company for this project, with investments from the locals and Japanese standing at 51-49 percent. The project is expected to be completed in 2015.
Mr. Masaki Takahara, Executive Managing Director of Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), Myanmar, will provide an update on the Thilawa economic zone project at CMT's Myanmar Transport & Logistics Summit in Yangon on May 12-15, 2013.
More information on the summit's program agenda is available here.
For enquiries, please contact Ms. Huiyan at email@example.com or Tel. 6346 9113.

Myanmar's logistics playground draws Japanese industry giant Nippon Express
Posted on : 27 Mar, 2013
Foreign companies and investors are flocking into the new emerging Myanmar market, and Japanese firms are some of the first to enter Myanmar. According to official figures, Japanese entrants hit 75 in January this year, and more are expected to join as the local market blooms further.
With booming sectorial growth and influx of investments, the need to establish proper logistics, supply chain and transport infrastructure is ever more critical. Many large logistics solutions companies, including Japan's largest logistics services company Nippon Express recognize this golden opportunity and has since set up a liaison office in Yangon.
Nippon Express will be focusing on local cargo transportation sector, namely air freight services, marine transport and roadways logistics services. President of the international logistics firm, Mr. Kenji Watanabe, noted that the company strives to improve Myanmar's trade with its strong global network that spans over 80 countries.
Besides Nippon Express, notable German logistics giant DHL Express is also a prominent player in the Myanmar scene with a local presence of more than 30 years.
Myanmar's ministers and many international C-level delegates will convene in Yangon at the inaugural Myanmar Transport & Logistics Summit on May 12-15, 2013. The summit, hosted by the Ministry of Transport and CMT, offers vital industry updates concerning transport and logistics masterplans as well as supply chain management opportunities and challenges.
More information on the summit's program agenda is available here.

The Japanese government has planned for a $56.1million ODA loan this year, with about 40% of it allocated to infrastructure projects spanning across the seven states and regions. This 40%, amounting to $22.4million, will be set aside to complete the Thilawa SEZ outside of Yangon.
Mr. Masaki Takahara, Executive Managing Director of Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) in Yangon expressed that both writing off the debt and ODA are crucial for Japan and Myanmar. He noted,
"As JETRO is an organization that promotes Japanese trade and investment, we have been trying to invite Japanese investment towards Myanmar. But the lack of proper infrastructure is an obstacle for new investment."
Japan's aid is set to drive the completion of the Thilawa SEZ and extract this obstacle.
More on the Thilawa and Dawei SEZ projects and laws available at the Myanmar Transport & Logistics Summit in Yangon, 12-15 May.

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future

He was the youngest son of Asa Bacon, Esq., an eminent lawyer, whose name often appears as counsel in the earlier volumes of these reports, and is one of the few counsellors of that day, who are still living. FRANCIS, the subject of this notice, was born at Litchfield, Conn., in January 1820, and graduated at Yale-College, in 1838. His legal studies, preparatory to his admission to the bar, he pursued, in his native village, under the direction of Origen S. Seymour, Esq. In 1840, he was admitted to the bar. Two years afterwards, he removed to Lancaster, Penn., and there established himself in the practice of the law, in partnership with Thaddeus Steven, Esq., a distinguished advocate of that place. There, a fair prospect of success in his profession, opened upon him at once, which was regularly widening and brightening, when, in 1844, the lamented death of his elder brother, Epaphroditus C. Bacon, Esq., at Seville, in Spain, induced him to return to his native place, that he might more advantageously aid in solacing the grief of his bereaved parents. Here he renewed, with increased success, the practice of his profession. "His highly honourable deportment," says Ch. J. Church, "his amiable and courteous manners and promising talents at the bar, soon bore him on toward the highest rank in his profession, and made him a favourite with his professional brethren, with the courts and with the public."
In 1847, and again in 1848, he was first clerk of the house of representatives in the General Assembly of this state. On the reorganization of the military system, in 1847, he was placed at the head of the militia, with the rank and title of major-general; -an office which he sustained with great credit to himself and to the state. In the spring of 1849, he was elected a senator in the legislature of this state, from the 15th district. The duties which devolved upon him in this situation, inexperienced as he was, he discharged with promptness, tact and ability. Firm in the principles he professed, he was courteous to his opponents, and enjoyed the respect and kind regards of all.
He died, at Litchfield, September 16th, 1849, in the 30th year of his age, after a sickness of about three weeks. The severity of his disorder, during its progress, occasioned some mental alienation; but his last hours were unclouded and calm; and he departed this life a professing christian.
Here, at the close of this brief sketch, the inquisitive reader may inquire, what were the peculiar traits of his mind and character, which gave him such distinction, at so early an age? Was he profoundly learned; was he imaginative and brilliant; was he sententious and forcible; was he perspicacious and acute; was he vehement and overpowering; was he, indeed, conspicuous for any particular characteristic of mind or manner? His best friend will answer-Not so, in any remarkable degree; and yet it may be safely added, that he possessed what was of more value-a well balanced mind. This gave him entire self-possession, and secured the confidence of others. His moral qualities, also were symmetrical. His manliness, frankness, social feeling and high sense of honour, harmonized with his intellectual endowments, and, all combined, made him what he was.[footer.htm]
