Last year's winter and spring were dry and the eastern Utah area was without adequate stream flows in the spring and throughout the summer to keep streams running as they should. But the flow was saved by reservoirs that were nearly full from a near-record snow melt the year before.
This year the area, in terms of runoff, is little better than last year, but not much. However, reservoirs like Scofield and Joe's Valley don't have the reserves of last year because so much was taken out for that drought year. That means supplies and probably deliveries of water to everyone will be down this year.
"Remember last year?" said Randy Julander of the Natural Resource Conservation Service in his monthly water supply outlook report. "Long, hot and dry - every water manager's nightmare? Well, this year is a carbon copy repeat - only with much less reservoir storage. March was the third consecutive month of way below normal snow accumulation. So low in fact that on this month's snow surveys it was common to see the sampling holes and snowshoe tracks from the previous month."
The NRCS keeps track of the snow on the ground, the precipitation, the moisture in the soil and what is in the reservoirs each and every month across the state. This information is put in a report that is released in the first week of every month.
According to Julander, snow melt has already begun at almost all the sites they check (the SNOTEL sites). It is still early in the general melt season, but a lot of places are way down.
According to the report "snow packs across the state are low (62 percent on the Weber River to 90 percent on the Beaver River) and dropping fast. March precipitation was much below normal statewide ranging from 44 percent to 63 percent of average. This brings the year-to-date precipitation to below normal statewide at 77 percent."
Locally snowpack in the Price and San Rafael Basins is much below average at 66 percent of normal, compared to 43 percent last year. While that looks much better than last season, a near 100 percent of normal snowpack would be needed to fill the reservoirs while use downstream from them was going on.
The precipitation in March was also way down from normal. March is one of the wettest month so of the year and it was only 50 percent of normal, "which brings the seasonal accumulation (October to March) to 77 percent of average."
The soil moisture (the water actually in the soil at any given time) is a key because as snow melts the water can either run off into streams for use as storage or it will run into the ground if the soil moisture is low. Right now the soil moisture in the area is at 57 percent compared with 85 percent last year. That means much of the increased moisture over last year's low figures will run into the soil.
Last year reservoir storage in the area was around 80 percent across all storage areas. Now the average in the area is about 48 percent of capacity.
The stream flow will also be very weak this year. While April is the wettest month of the year, the water that comes during the month seldom makes a complete difference in what has been a dry season overall. The stream flows in the area this spring will be between 32-53 percent of average.
Of special interest to the area, the Seeley Fire in the Huntington Canyon area last summer did more than burn trees and then turn areas through heavy thunderstorms into catch basins full of logs and debris. It also will affect the watershed for many years. According to an addendum released by the NRCS after the monthly report, the Seeley fire burned about 48,000 acres, including 18,500 acres of the Huntington Creek Watershed just below Electric Lake in the bottom half of the basin. This constitutes nearly half (46 percent) of the total watershed area of 40,100 acres.
The impact fires have on water supply and stream flow in high?relief areas of the Intermountain West can be complex. Generally in the first few years after a fire, snowmelt can be accelerated due to: (1) carbon/dust/organic material deposition on the snow surface; (2) the volume of standing blackened timber changing the albedo (reflectivity) of the snowpack; and (3) the reduction in canopy cover in areas that formerly sustained evergreen forest. Snowmelt can consequently be advanced as much as six weeks, or more.
These conditions can also lead to greater snowpack losses to wind erosion and sublimation. Conversely, the lack of forest cover can increase the amount of snow on the ground that would normally be intercepted by the forest canopy, and, particularly in the decade or two after the fire, may lead to higher overall April?July stream flow. However, in the first few post?fire years with low snow packs and with long periods between storms, the net effect can be lower overall snow water equivalent on the ground with early melt. Some of the runoff that would normally have occurred in the April?July time frame could happen earlier.
Water supply forecast models are geared to predict the April?July runoff season based on observed snowpack and other variables. There are no data sites inside the Huntington Creek burn area and data used in the hydrologic models are from non?impacted nearby sites. As such, the NRCS anticipates that runoff on Huntington Creek will be shifted to an earlier time frame due to the burn conditions in the watershed and that the April?July forecast is likely to overestimate the April?July stream flow.
These conditions could persist for several years. It is also important to note that the inflow to Electric Lake above the burn area will not be impacted.
With so little snow left to melt on the burn area there is little probability of serious erosion or mass wasting phenomena from the fire area. The remaining snow is likely to melt in small daily increments and infiltrate the soils over the next month or so. Intense precipitation events could trigger mud and debris flows from the burn.

It wasn't the kind of day one would expect to find baseball players plying their sport on green fields with bases.
It looked more like rugged sailing weather or the time for a fall football game in the rain.
Saturday's baseball parades for little league and Babe Ruth League baseball was washed out in various places around the county by a storm that came in Friday night and started to pour down H20 all over the place.
But some games were played. Helper played their games and the parade in Sunnyside was held with the players riding in cars and firetrucks, finding themselves part of the east county areas Cinco de Mayo celebration.
In Price the parade and the games were cancelled, leaving readied fields in north Price without anyone on them.
But for many it was still a good time, and beginning of a season that will stretch into July.
And for those that didn't get to play, there will be plenty of weeknight and Saturday games to come this year.
The start may have been wet and cold, but the season will be as hot and fun as ever.

This presentation discusses off-label use of bevacizumab for RCC. It also discusses the use of erlotinib for the treatment of RCC which has not been approved by the FDA.Presenter: J.D. Hainsworth
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The study reports the results of a phase II clinical trial of a combination of two targeted agents, the monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF,bevacizumab, and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erlotinib. Our understanding of the multiple genetic abnormalities and alterations of different biochemical pathways underlying the development of tumors has resulted in the discovery of novel agents targeting specific pathways. Results of clinical trials with these agents as monotherapy have shown modest clinical activity in RCC. The regimen bevacizumab/erlotinib has demonstrated substantial activity in this disease supporting the hypothesis that combining agents targeting multiple biochemical pathways results in more effective treatment. It would be important to identify the patient population that will benefit from this or similar therapy and to predict early during treatment which patients will progress. Efforts to define markers of response in subsequent trials are necessary. Further study of this combination approach is warranted.

Ogdensburg police are seeing more reports of city retailers and banks receiving counterfeit money that they believe originates both locally and from outside the north country.
City police Lieutenant Andrew D. Kennedy said the recent increase is not dramatic, but the department is on course to see more reports of fake money being passed this year than last.
The department last year received 28 reports of counterfeit notes from retailers and banks, and has received 22 reports so far this year. The latest was a week ago when the citys Wal-Mart reported receiving a suspicious bill.
I think its safe to say weve seen an increase, he said. We probably see a couple of reports a month.
When a counterfeit bill is reported, Lt. Kennedy said, police recover the bill, take a statement from the person who reported it and forward the information and bill to the U.S. Secret Service, which oversees such investigations.
If there is a suspect, they follow up on the investigation and try to make an arrest, Lt. Kennedy said.
Secret Service Resident Agent in Charge Timothy M. Kirk, Syracuse, said Northern New York as a whole is not seeing more reports of counterfeit money being passed, but fake money is changing hands.
More often than not, he said, counterfeits are easy to spot. He said because the bills are often printed on paper that is not the same quality as legitimate money, the notes are easily damaged and do not remain in circulation for long. Even if a retailer doesnt spot a fake, a bank will.
They really have to do a good job, and often times they dont, Mr. Kirk said. There are higher-quality bills coming from outside the country that will make their way up to Ogdensburg from China or Colombia or North Korea, and of course you have neer-do-wells in Ogdensburg and St. Lawrence County that are printing money in their bedroom or home office or dorm room or what have you. It might take a while, but we usually get onto them.
The quality of printing on home computers has improved rapidly over the last several years, but convincing counterfeits are still difficult and costly to print, he said.
Fake notes that at first glance appear genuine are out there, however, so people should inspect their bills to make sure they feel and appear real, Mr. Kirk said. He said one telltale sign of counterfeit is a waxy appearance.
All you have to do is compare it to one you know is genuine, he said. We try to encourage people to look at their money immediately after getting it from the bank. Many credit unions redisburse their cash, so you have to be on guard. Not everybody is a trained Secret Service agent who can detect counterfeit. And with sales on social media sites or Craigslist, theres always a chance that person could be defrauding you.
Counterfeits most often are in large denominations, he said.
The penalty is the same for a $5 bill or a $100 bill, so a criminal might as well print a $100 bill, Mr. Kirk said.
Federal law calls for prison terms of up to 20 years for those who print counterfeit money and up to 20 years for those who knowingly distribute it.
He said anyone who suspects they have received a counterfeit bill should notify police and the Secret Service with a description of the person who passed it and any other information that could help identify the suspect.
The last person who possesses the bill is responsible for telling where they got it, Mr. Kirk said. If they cant do that, not only are they out the money they lost, but they could also, in the worst case scenario, face prosecution.

Santa Barbara, CA (Sports Network) - Alan Williams posted a double-double with 20 points and 14 rebounds, as the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos defeated the Cal State Fullerton Titans, 66-50, in a Big West Conference battle at the Thunderdome.
For the Gauchos (10-19, 6-11 Big West), Michael Bryson added 14 points, Taran Brown scored 11 points and Kyle Boswell chipped in with 10 points.
Kwame Vaughn led the Titans (14-16, 6-11) with 20 points, while Alex Harris tallied 11 points.
In the opening period, both teams struggled to make shots. UCSB made only 37.5 percent of its field goal tries but was able to take a slim, 23-22, lead into intermission. CSF shot just 34.8 percent from the field and missed all but one of its seven shots from 3-point distance.
In the second half, the Gauchos heated up from the field, connecting on 50 percent of their shots, including 3-of-10 from 3-point range. The Titans continued to have difficulty finding the basket, making just 36 percent of their field goal tries and 2-of-8 from 3-point distance. UCSB opened the half on a 13-4 run and never trailed again, as it secured the home victory.
The Gauchos dominated down low, outrebounding the Titans 42-25, and outscoring them in the paint, 40-14.

Update: Mon., July 1, 2013-Both sides file objections to Judge's ruling in Humboldt County vs. Bob McKee court decision
Both sides have filed objections to Judge Dale Reinholtsen's June 7, 2013 decision on how the Williamson Act violations in the "Tooby Ranch Case" should be remedied.
According to KMUD News Correspondent Daniel Mintz, Humboldt County is asking that its court costs be reimbursed because the county prevailed in the Reinholtsen ruling. The county's attorney fees, which are more than 3 million dollars, are not subject to being reimbursed by the defendants. The county has also made a claim for additional property tax revenue from the defendants, and for additional penalty fines.
The defendants, Buck Mountain Ranch Limited Partnership, Robert McKee and Valery McKee, filings included an objection to the Reinholtsen ruling that the state's unfair competition law was violated, arguing instead that defendants operated in good faith and that there was a lack of notice by the county in stating their concerns. Other defendant objections refer to the processes that have affected the Tooby Ranch Williamson Act contract. Several other defendants' objections were raised and a proposal was made for consideration of additional remedies. More details can be heard using the player below.
The audio below is from a report submitted by Daniel Mintz and aired by Terri Klemetson on the KMUD Local News, Mon., July 1, 2013.
The original post for this story can be viewed below.
In a long-awaited court ruling, filed Friday, June 7, 2013 by Humboldt County, Judge Dale Reinholtsen, Southern Humboldt developer Bob McKee has been ordered to pay $200,000 in fines to Humboldt County. In the costly 11- year lawsuit the county maintained that the defendants, Buck Mountain Ranch Limited Partnership, Robert McKee and Valery McKee, violated the Williamson Act in their development of the Tooby Ranch near Garberville, purchased by McKee, et. al. The ruling is not final. Both parties have 20 days to file objections with the court. Hear more details about this ruling using the player below.

According to a press release from the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, on Tues. morning, June 11, 2013, a Deputy was fired on by a suspect during an investigation of an illegal marijuana grow, located in the 20000 block of Tomki Road in Willits, California. The Deputy Sheriff shot back at the suspect who then escaped into the heavily wooded surroundings. Several hours of searching did not locate the suspect, and the search was suspended due to safety concerns - read more details in the MCSO press release below.
MCSO Press Release:
On 06-11-2013 at 0836 hours Special Agents from the Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force (MMCTF) arrived at a piece of property located in the 20000 block of Tomki Road in Willits, California. The MMCTF Special Agents had recently obtained a search warrant based upon an investigation that showed an illegal marijuana growing operation was in existence on the property. The Special Agents were assisted in the search warrant service by members of the County of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team, California Department of Fish & Wildlife, California Highway Patrol Aviation Division and Mendocino County Probation Department.
Upon arrival a MMCTF Special Agent (Mendocino County Deputy Sheriff), a California Department of Fish & Wildlife Warden and a Mendocino County Probation Officer encountered a suspect, described as being a Hispanic adult male dressed in camouflage clothing. The suspect fled on foot into the property's heavily wooded terrain and failed to comply with verbal commands to surrender. The three listed law enforcement personnel began a search for the suspect who appeared to be unarmed. During the search the suspect emerged from an area of bush approximately 30-40 yards from the Deputy Sheriff. The suspect was armed with a handgun and immediately shot at the Deputy Sheriff, possibly multiple times. The Deputy Sheriff shot back at the suspect who then fled off into the heavily wooded terrain once again. Additional law enforcement resources were summoned to the property as a more intensive search was conducted for the suspect.
The law enforcement resources included personnel from the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, California Department of Fish & Wildlife and Cal Fire prevention officers. After several hours of searching the suspect was not located and the search was suspended due to safety concerns. The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office in collaboration with the Mendocino County District Attorney's Office is conducting an investigation into the shooting incident per county-wide protocol.
The Deputy Sheriff has been placed on paid administrative at this time.
Two robberies and one grand theft in Eureka are believed have been committed by the same suspect, and the Eureka Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in identifying the man. In one incident the suspect was seen leaving the scene in a small 4- door red Nissan. The suspect is described as a a white male, about 6' tall, medium build with short brown hair - see the photo above and the video and more information from the press release below.
Anyone with information about these crimes, the suspect, the suspect vehicle or the location of the stolen property, please contact Detective Harpham at 707-441-4305.
Summary from the Eureka Police Department press release:
On Thursday, 4-18-13, at about 2100 hours, a suspect took 3 37" Westinghouse LED TV's out through the emergency exit of Target in Eureka. The suspect fled in a small 4- door red Nissan with the license plate purposely concealed. The suspect was described as a white male, about 6' tall, medium build, with brown hair. No force or threats were used by the suspect.
On Friday, 4-26-13, at about 2040 hours, a suspect entered Hana Restaurant at 2120 4th Street, ripped the cash register drawer from the register and attempted to flee the store. An employee interrupted the theft. The suspect was a white male, about 6' tall, medium build with short brown hair. He wore large black sunglasses to partially block his face and he wore gloves. The suspect fled in a red 90's model hatchback with the license plate purposely concealed. The suspect pushed and punched an employee in attempt to complete the theft. This use of force to complete the theft, turned the theft incident into a robbery.
On Saturday, 5-11-13, at about 2130 hours, a male subject entered Subway sandwich shop at 1906 4th Street, ripped the cash register drawer from the register and fled the store. The suspect was described as a white male, about 6'2"tall, with brown/gray hair wearing an orange and green camouflage mask. The suspect fled on foot. No vehicle was seen. The suspect threatened to stab the employee if he tried to stop him from leaving with the cash register drawer. The use of threats turned the theft into a robbery.
The Eureka Police Department believes the three incidents were committed by the same suspect and request anyone with information in regards to the suspect, suspect vehicle or the location of the stolen property, to contact Detective Harpham at the 707-441-4305.
The Video below shows the crime as it's being committed at Target in Eureka-thanks Lost Coast Outpost and You Tube.
Disaster and emergency reporting are key components of KMUD Newsroom production as well as part of the overall mission of the station. Several years ago the News Department organized an Emergency Response Team (ERT) to assist news staff in reporting during emergency events such as fire, major landslides, floods and earthquakes. We are now in progress of expanding this service. The ERT includes people who are able to send photos and audio clips to the newsroom, others who can travel to KMUD at a moment's notice to help during a major emergency, and people who produce stories for the Local News. In response to a scary fire season projected by CAL FIRE, KMUD News has prepared a series of classes that can serve as training for people newly interested in helping with this effort or as a review for previous ERT members. Anyone who wants to work with KMUD News is invited to the upcoming trainings.
Classes focusing on the Emergency Response Team training will be held this June and July at the KMUD studio at 1144 Redway Drive, Redway. Classes start promptly at 1 pm and run until 3 pm, with more free-form conversation after the class for people who want to collaborate further.
Class Schedule:
- June 9: Writing for Radio -Emergency Response focused skill-building, using disaster scenarios
- June 23: Emergency Response Reporting - Disaster scenario analysis and live Emergency Response radio reporting
- July 14: Guest Professionals, TBA. Emergency Reporting and Interacting with Agency Personnel; Disaster scenario analysis and live Emergency Response radio reporting
- July 28: Guest Professionals, TBA. Emergency Reporting and Interacting with Agency Personnel; Disaster scenario analysis and live Emergency Response radio reporting
A woman reported yesterday (Mon., June 3, 2013) to Humboldt County Sheriffs that she had been sexually assaulted as she was walking down the Avenue of the Giants heading toward Weott.The suspects in the incident are believed to be driving a Light Blue older Ford Van, possibly late 1970's or early 1980's no side windows in the rear cargo area. Only the front seats and back doors had windows.
The suspects are described as follows:
- White Male, 19-25 years old, approximately, 6' tall, 160 pounds, red curly hair with fresh injuries to his face and nose.
- White Male, 19-25 years old, approximately 6'2" tall, approximately 160 pounds, blond hair, wearing black jeans
- White male, 19-25 years old, approximately 6"2" tall, approximately 160 pounds, brown hair
Details are found in the HCSO press release below:
On 06-3-2013, approximately 8:30 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a call from a local hospital emergency room nurse who reported a 33 year female was at the hospital who was being treated for a sexual assault. A deputy responded to the hospital and met with the victim. She reported she was walking on US 101 near Rio Dell early today, when she got a ride from an unknown Asian female who dropped her off near the Pepperwood exit, Holmes Flat area. After being dropped off she walked down to the Eel River and went for a swim. During her swim, she lost her pants in the rapids. She walked back to Avenue of the Giants and began walking south again towards her mother's residence in Weott, however she was not wearing pants, only underwear, a bra and t-shirt. She walked for about ten minutes when she encountered three males in a light blue Ford van in a turn out. She asked the males for a ride, and they agreed to give her a ride.
After evaluating the males further, she decided to decline the ride because she did not feel comfortable with the males. The three males then drove off in the van. She then continued walking south on Avenue of the Giants. Further down the road as she was walking, the three males suddenly exited the brush and all three sexually assaulted her. During the assault she struck one of the males in the face with a tree branch she found causing injury to the males face. The victim believes she may have broken the male's nose or knocked out some of his teeth. After the assault the victim ran to a nearby residence for help, and the residents gave her a ride to the hospital.
Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.
Update:Tues., July 30, 2013 - New lead gives hope to family of missing person Erik Lamberg
A new lead in the case of Erik Lamberg, who has been missing since last May, (see photo above and below) gives renewed hope in finding what happened to the missing man.
Use the player below to hear the latest in this case. This report was aired by KMUD News Anchor Eileen Russell on the KMUD local News Tues., July 30, 2013.
Update: Wed., July 3, 2013-Family of missing Erik Lamberg makes another plea for public's help; interview with Lamberg's wife included

LOWVILLE Lewis County legislators have authorized borrowing of $700,000 to help fund the ongoing dialysis project at the municipal hospital.
Lawmakers last week voted 10-0 to move forward with the bonding to cover non-grant-funded costs of the $1.9 million project. They also declared that the project will have no significant environmental impact under the state Environmental Quality Review process.
Legislative Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, said county officials decided to borrow money for the balance of the costs, rather than pulling it from county fund balance, to ensure the project doesnt tax county reserves too heavily. We were just wondering about the best way to protect our interests, he said.
The plan is to roll the dialysis funding in with money being borrowed by the hospital to upgrade its Meditech information management system and remaining debt on a $1.6 million Beaver Falls clinic project completed several years ago, according to County Treasurer Patricia L. OBrien. The total amount roughly $5 million is to be paid off in eight years, with the interest rate expected to be about 1.75 percent, she said.
The long-awaited dialysis project is to be funded primarily by a $904,837 state Department of Health commissioners discretionary grant and a $300,000 Empire State Development grant.
The Lewis County Hospital Foundation also collected about $100,000 for dialysis through various fundraisers, and annual lease payments of $123,000 from DaVita Inc. over a 10-year period would be used to cover any remaining debt service.
A 7,200-square-foot addition is being built off the west side of the Medical Arts Buildings first floor and basement to accommodate the dialysis center. Roughly 1,000 square feet of adjoining space in the Medical Arts Building also will be renovated and included in the dialysis suite.
The addition will accommodate an eight-station outpatient clinic with a full basement and feature a new entrance into the main lobby area.
After the addition is built, the hospital will turn it over to DaVita Inc., which is to complete additional interior work, then operate the center under the lease agreement. The pact also includes reimbursement for maintenance and housekeeping services, electricity, heating and water and sewer services.
Plans are to complete the shell building by October, with interior finish work and installation of dialysis equipment to be completed by February. That would allow the new center to open in March or April.
General contractor Northern Tier Contracting, Gouverneur, began preliminary site work in mid-May and is doing foundation work, according to hospital officials.
Work on the project, designed by Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, has led to temporary closure of the main lobby entrance. In the interim, hospital plant operations workers have used golf carts to help transport patients around the North State Street campus, and volunteers from the hospital auxiliary have staffed a table in the lobby to hand out exit directions and help point people in the right direction.
The planned center would provide a local treatment option for Lewis County residents who now must travel to Watertown or Utica to receive dialysis. Up to 30 dialysis patients in Lewis County typically undergo four-hour treatments three days a week.
Anyone interested in learning more about the proposed center or being added to a waiting list to visit the facility as its opening nears can call DaVita at 414-7002.

The 2011 Boston Bruins weren't the most talented team in the
National Hockey League, but a combination of key factors propelled them to the
Stanley Cup. Tremendous goaltending, a
shutdown defensive pair and solid depth on the blue line, and a hard-working
group of forwards that had just enough offensive talent was the Bruins' recipe
for success. Boston out-lasted the competition this year despite shortcomings
like a poor power play and lack of elite offensive talent.
It'd be silly to think that the same formula for victory
works every year, but Boston
had some traits as a team that we can learn from.
1. Tim Thomas showed us that teams can still ride unbeatable
goaltending through the playoffs. Thomas
just completed one of the better seasons of all time and is clearly the best
goalie in the world right now. However,
the Rangers have an all-world goalie themselves in Henrik Lundqvist. We've seen that the Rangers can't rely on
Lundqvist alone to carry them during the playoffs, but with just a little more
help an elite goalie can be the difference. Those that believe the Rangers are nearing contention status believe
that adding another strong offensive weapon or two could push them to the next
level thanks in large part to their near-Thomas level goaltending.
2. Boston,
while deep up front, showed us that an elite offensive player isn't necessarily
needed. The Bruins were unique because
they had a fantastic combination at even strength and were able to grind teams
into submission five-on-five. Still, the
Bruins didn't have anyone that would be considered among the league's 20-best
forwards. Their highest regular season
point-getters were David Krejci and Milan Lucic with 62 apiece. In the playoffs, young players like Brad
Marchand and Tyler Seguin stepped up while veterans like Mark Recchi and
Patrice Bergeron contributed plenty themselves.
Though Marian Gaborik once might have been in the
conversation for the NHL's best offensive forwards, it's clear that right now
the Rangers don't have any upper-level talent up front either. Many believe the Rangers must add Brad
Richards or another big-time center, but Boston
proved that very deep, very good scoring can be all it takes. New
York clearly doesn't have enough just yet, but it's
not awful if the Blueshirts don't add a superstar. There are other ways.
3. The power play isn't everything. During the course of the regular season, we
analyze power plays down to single percentage points. The reality is that there's such a huge
sample size that it's difficult to see how a power play is going at the moment,
which is the most important thing. Boston finished 20th during the regular season
on the pp and went five-for-62 in the first three rounds with the man
advantage, but suddenly went five-for-28 against Vancouver. Blame some of that on Roberto Luongo, but the Bruins capitalized on the
pp when they needed to.
The Rangers finished 18th on the man-up during
the regular season, but down the stretch the power play wasn't a source of
confidence. The Blueshirts had to have a
hard time believing that drawing penalties is even worth trying to do given the
way their pp performed late this year. Boston still had enough
playmakers and skill to be a threat when they got hot, which happened at the
perfect time. The Rangers don't need to
focus on having the best power play in the league; it's a crapshoot and a silly
goal. The key is that they must start
developing confidence in their pp unit and show the ability to pick up goals
when it matters. How many times this year
were the Rangers down by a goal or two and all TV analysts could talk about was
how much a power play goal might help? The Rangers need their pp to be a threat, but it doesn't have to be
4. Boston showed us that teams require the right mix of players, young and old. Marc Savard was the fifth-highest-paid player
on the Bruins, but he didn't even play in the postseason. Rookie Brad Marchand was fantastic in the
Finals and finished the playoffs with 19 points. Mark Recchi had three goals and four assists
in the Finals at age 43. The point is: Boston had a combination
of vets and youngsters that spurred them. As the Rangers have fielded more homegrown talent lately, people have
gotten caught up in the praise for the Rangers' farm system. It's a huge luxury to have a strong pipeline,
but teams still must be peppered with guys that have some salt-and-pepper in
their playoff beards. Guys that are
still productive but have experience and fill key roles on good teams are
necessary, so don't be so quick to wave goodbye to Vinny Prospal and/or Ruslan
Fedotenko; both showed they still have something left. If it's not them, the team still needs a
couple of veterans that still bring something to the table. All winning teams need that kind of balance.
5. Home Ice can't be indisputably proved as a necessary
advantage, but tell that to the Bruins who just thrashed the Canucks in Boston 8-1, 4-0 and 5-2. The Rangers have been a solid road team for a
few years now but can't seem to get it figured out at Madison Square
Garden. Boston
was strong at home all season and they were certainly confident in their own
barn when it mattered most. The
Blueshirts need to start showing that home ice is actually an advantage for
6. A versatile, talented defensive group are essential. Boston
isn't young along the blue line, but the Bruins have a nice group of veterans
led by Zdeno Chara. Dennis Seidenberg
had a phenomenal series, and Johnny Boychuk, Andrew Ference and Adam McQuaid
have all played solid hockey. Power play
QB Tomas Kaberle has his critics, but he still filled a role for the
Bruins. The Rangers lack a ton of experience
on the back-end, but there's no reason they can't grow together and become just
as good as Boston's
unit. Matching Chara's talent isn't
easy, but top to bottom the Rangers have the kind of physical play and
offensive ability in the system to wield a dominant unit in the future.

SATs papers are compulsory national tests for primary school pupils. Children in England are required to take Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) at the age of 11 (school year 6). The first SATs paper was introduced in 1991 for Key Stage 1 (more commonly known as the simplified "KS1"). Within four years of their introduction, the then Conservative government introduced Key Stage 2 SATs papers (KS2 SATs papers) and then in 1998 the Labour government introduced the first (KS3 SATs paper.
One could assume the continual expansion of SATs papers implies that they were highly successful in what they set out to achieve. However, it's fair to say that not only have SATs papers themselves changed a great deal since 1991 but so too has their purpose.
SATs papers themselves have broadly remained the same, with English and Maths in KS1 SATs papers and KS2 SATs papers plus Science in KS3 SATs papers. It is within these broad areas however that the changes have been made.
For instance in KS2 SATs papers, were you to have sat your Maths SATs paper in 2001 and been entered into a level 6 test, you could have potentially sat six individual SATs papers. This is in contrast with 2009 where you would have only sat four individual SATs tests (level 6 SATs papers were no longer available).
Further to this, in 2004 it was decided that KS1 SATs papers were no longer going to be formal SATs tests but were instead to be 'teacher assessments'. These could be based largely on past SATs papers but this change was suggested to have been a result of parent's feelings. Parents were not comfortable with their young children sitting formal SATs papers.
Likewise, in 2009 it was decided that KS2 Science SATs papers were no longer going to be externally examined and would instead also become teacher assessments. In 2010 this was expanded to include the KS2 English Writing SATs paper. These changes all occured within a reasonably small amount of time and together with # KS3 SATs papers being completely removed from the National assessment tests in 2009 demonstrates just how much SATs have changed!
KS2 SATs papers introduced the capability for the government to compare the relative performances of pupils, schools and LEAs over time. However, the significant changes to their structure does suggest that these comparisons could be quite questionable.
The primary purpose of SATs papers was to create a standardised, consistent assessment for all pupils regardless of who their teacher was and indeed where their school was. However, it's arguable that their primary purpose has seemed to develop into feeding a school league table system, adding stress to pupils and unnecessary pressure onto teachers, detracting from their primary purpose in the classroom to teach!
From the pupil's perspective, the key purpose behind KS2 SATs papers is to allow pupils to demonstrate what they have learnt and retained during their KS2 education. The tests, whether via teacher assessment or formal SATs paper, help their teacher learn more about their strengths and weaknesses and precisely what they understand about their Maths, English and Science subjects.
A child cannot "fail" a SATs paper. There is no "pass mark", it's simply trying to measure how much each child has learned throughout Key Stage 2.
Since 2005, KS1 SATs papers have instead been teacher assessments. There are no formal external examinations. Pupils are tested in English and Maths.
KS2 English SATs papers are made up of a reading comprehension SATs paper (known simply as Reading SATs paper), a Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar SATs paper (SPaG SATs paper) and a teacher's assessment in writing. Lord Bew's 2011 review of KS2 SATs papers resulted in 2012's SATs candidates no longer being given externally examined writing tests.
KS2 Maths SATs papers are comprised of two formal written papers, Test A and Test B, as well as a mental arithmetic paper called 'Mental Maths'. Calculators are not allowed for Test A or the Mental Maths task but may be used for Test B. All maths tests are externally marked. For the 2015 SATs papers, it is expected that there will be no calculator Maths SATs paper. Science SATs papers are no longer externally examined, instead they too are teacher assessments.
In both English and Maths, headteachers can choose to administer Level 6 versions of these tests. These tests expand on the content of the level 3-5 tests by including higher level questions that require children to think for themselves and bring aspects of English or Mathematics together. Taking Level 6 Maths SATs paper as an example, children taking the level 6 test will be very secure in their knowledge of level 5. They should be able to work independently, to apply their knowledge within unfamiliar and challenging problems, whilst thinking analytically and communicating their ideas effectively. They will be beginning to be able to identify mathematics to be used where the signposting of mathematical concepts is less obvious and/or what is being asked is less familiar.
To put it bluntly, an 11 year old pupil that's developed to a level 6 Maths standard can be very, very proud of themselves!
The expectations for a child's SATs performance according to their age are shown in the table below. For instance, an 11 year old child is expected to achieve level 4 by the end of year 6. A child achieving level 5 is working at a high level, and only one percent achieve level 6.
|Year 2

|Below Expectations
|Level 3

After marking the SATs tests, the DfE normalises the data and creates level thresholds. These thresholds dictate what level your child is on by direct comparison with the number of marks they scored in each exam. (It is not known whether the DfE create these level thresholds from all the SATs data or only a sample.) An example level thresholds table is below. This is the KS2 2011 level thresholds for English overall.
