Dr. E treats our whole family. His love for his job is obvious. He is very helpful and it great with kids. He has reduced and limited my pain as well as his massage therapy staff. The combination helped what 4 years of MD care could never figure out.

I feel like he does not charge enough for his services and is truly a very humble person! His staff is also very warm and friendly! He is awesome! I appreciate his hugs-and appreciate the healing power of touch:)

No hugs, No complaints...

Terrific doctor. He is one of those few people who have a gift and a passion for what they do. He is a true healer in every sense of the word. Very kind, warm and attentive. He really takes his time with his patient to understand them, their lifestyle and needs. He was able to heal and make me better after several months of illness under the treatment of my family physician. Thank you Dr. Egerer.

State and local officials are concerned that the wilderness decision may impact energy development in the region.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's announcement that the Bureau of Land Management will manage some Utah lands as wilderness before Congress officially designates them as such has provoked state and local opposition.
"I am proud to sign a secretarial order that restores protections for the wild lands that the Bureau of Land Management oversees on behalf of the American people," Salazar said in an announcement of the policy as he spoke in Denver, Colo. last Thursday. In effect, the Interior Department is basically abandoning the Bush-era policy that kept the Bureau of Land Management from aggressively inventorying land it controls and holding it as Wilderness Study Areas until Congress acts upon each designated area.
While Congress is the only body that can make land belonging to the federal government wilderness, the move allows BLM field managers to go ahead and protect areas they consider wilderness without any congressional action. The action that was taken is now known as Secretarial Order 3310.
"The new wild lands policy affirms the BLM's authorities under the law and our responsibility to the American people to protect the wilderness characteristics of the land we oversee as part of our multiple use mission," said BLM Director Bob Abbey after the announcement of the change.
Many state and local officials were not happy with the announcement, particularly with the way it was issued.
The announcement took place as the holiday break began in Washington D.C. with Congress adjourning for this year. A new Congress with much more conservative clout will come into power in January and it is expected that the move will rile up some of the incoming members as well as those that have supported the former Interior Secretary Gale Norton's plan that kept the BLM from designating areas wilderness since 2003.
"The timing of this decision is suspect, coming the day before Christmas Eve," Utah Governor Gary Herbert said later that day. "State officials were not notified of the department's intent, nor were we offered an opportunity to discuss it with Interior officials beforehand, which strikes me as political posturing."
The Norton policy has allowed drilling for oil and gas, mineral extraction as well as other commercial uses on land that could possibly be designated wilderness in the future. This new policy will not use Wilderness Study Areas as the term for land classified as having wilderness characteristics that used previous to the Norton ban, but instead will call areas that the BLM denotes as wilderness "wild lands."
"This decision may unintentionally damage all of the good will that we have worked so hard to build between the state, local governments, the environmental community and federal officials," stated Herbert.
Salazar said that the the wild lands proposals will utilize a public process before they are designated such by the BLM.
According to the Interior Department the designation can be made and then modified later through a public process. Those lands designated such can also later be designated as wilderness by Congress should it wish to do so.
This action has a direct effect on Utah, which has millions of acres under BLM administration. Many Utahns are suspicious of any move the federal government makes when it comes to land designations by it agencies. Many claim allowing an agency to proclaim a designation plays right into the hands of radical environmentalists.
The governor also had a conversation about the announcement with Abbey over the phone on Thursday. He said that he had discussed Abbey's coming to Utah to discuss the intended and possible unintended consequences of the decision.
"We have tried to have a new era of cooperation with Interior, and I'm afraid these actions may hurt those attempts," said Herbert. "The ironic fallout of this decision is that it could stifle our ability to resolve wilderness issues through cooperation and compromise, like we saw in Washington County and are beginning to see throughout the state."
On Monday morning the Sun Advocate contacted Carbon County Commissioner Mike Milovich who has been involved with a lot of the federal land issues over the years.
"It looks to me that we have the Clinton administration all over again," he said referring to the fact that then President Bill Clinton stood just outside Utah's borders at the Grand Canyon to announce the Escalate Grand Staircase National Monument executive order in the 1990s. "When Salazar talks about involving locals in the decision to do this he is lying through his teeth. No one knew this was going to be announced. We didn't know a thing."
Milovich also said he and others would be meeting with other counties and some associations to see what they can do about this.
"We will fight it but it will take a lot of resources," he stated. "We'll just have to see what transpires and how we can combat this order."
The secretarial order does not change the management of existing Wilderness Study Areas pending before Congress or congressionally designated units of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The BLM may also still develop recommendations regarding possible Congressional designation of lands into the National Wilderness Preservation System.
Utah currently has three million acres of wilderness study areas, and wilderness was recently designated in Washington County after a lengthy effort involving residents, local government and environmental groups. According to the governor's office similar efforts are underway in San Juan, Emery, Piute and Beaver Counties.

MASSENA - With a check for $88,240.81 waiting for the town of Massena, town board members accepted a plan Wednesday on how to spend that money - something that they had to do before actually receiving the check.
The board voted to submit a plan calling for the check to be divided between five causes, although the money wasnt allocated without discussion on the matter.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray proposed giving $15,000 to the Business Development Corporation, to help offset the $30,000 they had promised to the organization, but were unable to provide for the current fiscal year.
Mr. Gray also proposed providing $6,000 to FISHCAP, $35,000 to emergency services, $20,000 to the Downtown Revitalization Committee, and allocating the remaining $8,240.81 for airport marketing.
The funds for emergency services will be split between the rescue squad and the fire department, with the rescue squad receiving the $1,400 it requested to purchase a Stokes basket, with the remainder of the money going to the fire department for radio upgrades and a new thermal imaging camera.
In regards to the airport marketing money Mr. Gray said, Primarily what Im look at is better signage.
Mr. Gray also said he would like to see the town partner with Cape Air for some marketing and possibly billboards that would promote both Cape Air and the Massena Airport, whether it be here or on the Canadian side.
The item though that garnered the most discussion was the funding for the Downtown Revitalization Committee.
Councilman Charles A. Chuck Raiti said he was a little leery of giving money to the committee after being approached for funding to put a fountain downtown.
Im hesitant for that reason. If thats what this is for, I would rather give that money to the people who were just here, he said, referring to the BDC, who requested some gaming compact funds to help finish a railroad project at its industrial park.
Mr. Gray assured Mr. Raiti that the money would not be used for a fountain.
They havent given me specifics, but we would ask for that before we gave them money, he said.
Councilman Thomas C. Miller said he wanted to know how much the village was contributing to the downtown revitalization effort.
Nothing yet, Mr. Gray said, to which Mr. Raiti responded, Thats my point.
The mayor says they cant. I disagree with him, but thats his stance.
Town Bookkeeper Nancy Fregoe also noted that the budget presented to the board by the BDC also assumed they would receive a $60,000 contribution from the village.
Mr. Raiti said Mayor James F. Hidy has recently expressed satisfaction with the BDC, noting the contribution shouldnt be a problem.
They mayor said they were a good job, and he was going to try and get some money for them.
Mr. Gray also noted that in order to receive the compact moneya plan on how to spend it must first be submitted to the state.
This is just a plan, he said. Im sure if we said we were going to reallocate the money to the railroad they wouldnt have a problem with that.
Mr. Raiti expressed some concern with the unreliability of gaming compact funds, noting the money has disappeared in the past.
Are you willing to roll the dice? Mr. Raiti asked the town supervisor, referring to the risk of postponing funding for the rail spur.
I am, Mr. Gray replied.
Mr. Raiti countered, I would rather roll the dice the other way. Let downtown wait and give them this money now.
After being assured though the plan, was just that - a plan, and not anything set in stone, Mr. Raiti agreed to support the supervisors proposal.
Mr. Miller, who is also the volunteer fire chief, abstained from voting on the resolution, as his department is slated to receive $33,600 of the money.

THE MORNING SKATE: Visnovsky Hearing, Reinhart Gears Up for WHL Season
Yesterday was finally the day where Lubomir Visnovsky got his day in arbitration and we're all one step closer towards a resolution in the case of his mysterious no-trade clause. Visnovsky filed a grievance with the league in July after his June 22nd trade to the Islanders from Anaheim, claiming that he had a no-trade clause in place and should have been consulted by the Ducks before the trade. That's not to say he would or would not agree to a trade to the Islanders but that he feels he was wronged by his employer by not being treated fairly. If he wins the grievance, it'll certainly make for an interesting situation as to whether the trade gets a re-do or is abandoned entirely.
There won't be a decision today and there's been no formal mention of when we should expect a resolution, so expect this to go on quietly for a bit. You may now begin placing side bets as to which happens quicker; a Visnovsky ruling or a new CBA (the overwhelming favorite likely the former).
LightHouse Hockey has a great breakdown of the issues surrounding the trade. Back in 2008, the Kings sent Visnovsky to the Oilers, one day before a the no-trade clause was supposed to kick in. This leads to the main question in the case being what happened during Visnovsky's subsequent trade when the Oilers sent him to the Ducks. From Dom Jansky:
He played almost two seasons in Edmonton before the Oilers sent him packing again — happily for him, they at least sent him back to Southern California. That's where things get foggy.
- Did the Oilers agree to honor his NTC when they took him on? (The CBA bizarrely says an acquiring team doesn't have to honor the clause if it hasn't kicked in yet.)
- If so, did he then waive it to accept the trade to the Ducks? And if that, then does that affect whether the clause still applies to future trades?
It's really a weird situation since we're going over a NTC that is nearly five years and three teams old, so please give Dom's article a full read.
While the NHL is seriously entertaining the thought of another lockout, there is still hockey moving right on schedule and ready to be played elsewhere. One of those places is the WHL where fourth overall pick Griffin Reinhart is getting ready to start another season with the Edmonton Oil Kings. For Reinhart, it was a short summer with the draft, Memorial Cup and a case of mono:
"It was a pretty short summer with the run-up to the Memorial Cup and then right after with the (NHL) combine and then a couple combines with some teams, then straight to the draft," said Reinhart, who returned to Edmonton around Thursday midnight after spending most of the week at the NHLPA rookie showcase in Toronto.
"I had a month off and, for the first week of that, I had mono, then went to the (Canadian) U-20 camp, then to Toronto and straight here."
Part of the article featured Reinhart's coach with the Oil Kings, Derek Laxdal. Laxdal thinks the young defender should stay for another year in the WHL:
Reinhart has the potential to stick in the NHL, especially with an Islanders team thin on the back end, but Laxdal feels another year in junior would serve the blue-liner well.
"Every kid wants to play at the highest level and the pay cheque is nice also, but his sense of urgency has to improve to get up to an NHL pace," Laxdal said. "He's got certain areas in his game that are naturally going to improve.
"To come down here and be the guy would probably be good for him, but if he ends up making the NHL, we'll do nothing but wish him the best."
Two more Sound Tigers have headed to Europe. Tomas Marcinko, #31 in our prospect rankings (series to be finished soon), is in Sweden for a tryout with MoDo. Tony Romano is also headed to Europe.

LOWVILLE Lewis County recreational trail coordinator Robert C. Diehl, accused of billing the county for gravel he used at his house, should receive an unpaid suspension totaling 60 days on a finding of incompetence, an administrative judge is recommending.
The Lewis County Board of Legislators will hold a special meeting Monday to discuss the judges recommendation, which was delivered to county officials earlier this week. A 206-page transcript of the Dec. 26 administrative hearing held by retired state Supreme Court Judge John S. Parker also will be considered.
According to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, Judge Parker recommended the county reprimand Mr. Diehl and suspend him without pay for 60 days, finding him not guilty of gross negligence, but guilty of incompetence.
The recommendation acknowledged 30 days of suspension without pay already has been served. Mr. Diehl was suspended without pay Nov. 13; however, because he is a civil service employee, his pay was reinstated after 30 days.
Mr. Diehl was accused of submitting to the county a purchase order and voucher for payment in late October for stone products from V.S. Virkler & Son that included $3,262.97 worth of gravel that was delivered to his residence for his personal use. The discrepancy was discovered after payment was made.
At the December hearing, Mr. Diehl admitted receiving the gravel at his residence; however, he testified the purchase order he submitted for payment was made in error.
A criminal case is pending. Mr. Diehl is charged with third-degree grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and official misconduct. He has not yet appeared in Lewis County Court.
Adding to the tumult surrounding the suspended trails coordinator, multiple sources on Friday evening confirmed that a snowmobile and trailer owned by the county were picked up from Mr. Diehls property by county Highway Department employees about 4 p.m. Friday, and that Mr. Diehl attempted to file a police report about their absence before he was informed of the countys action.
It wasnt stolen it was retrieved, said county Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson.
Mr. Stanford said he had heard that Mr. Diehl had the snowmobile on Sunday, adding he thought it would have been picked up when the suspension started in November. He attributed the confusion about possession of the snowmobile to the speed of the suspension, and said the county already had confiscated an all-terrain vehicle and tractor from Mr. Diehl.
I thought everything was said and done with it, he said.
Mr. Stanford said he confirmed the countys ownership of the snowmobile on Thursday and on Friday asked Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, to initiate the retrieval by the Highway Department. Mr. Tabolt is filling in for County Manager David H. Pendergast, who has been out of work because of illness.
Lewis County Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli said attempts to reach Mr. Diehl before the pickup were unsuccessful.
He said he had not experienced an incident like the one Friday in his career.
Mondays meeting, set for 4:30 p.m. in the second-floor boardroom at the County Office Building, is expected to be held primarily in executive session. However, any change in job status would require a public vote by lawmakers.
Times staff writer Gordon Block contributed to this report.

Allright, I must be missing something.
Seems that, I get no sound unless I run alsaconf each time I log in.
Can anyone think what I may be missing?
Hi Guys,
I just installed Slackware 9.1. Though it seems to work fine, I am getting no sound. Now, it seems Slackware moved to the Alsa sound architecture. I see modules loaded, but I get no sound, even as root. I am using KDE, and I tried playing mp3's and wav's with XMMS, and also going to the KDE ontrol center where it has the sound test button. No sound there either.
I am using a Soundblaster Live card, and it worked great yesterday with Red Hat.

I'm also getting this message on bootup:

Sound may be muted. Use 'alsamixer' to unmute your sound card,
and then 'alsactl store' to save the default ALSA mixer settings
to be loaded at boot.
But since I have never used Alsa, I'm kinda lost...
Allright. That was stupid of me. I just needed to follow the instructions. Is working now.
Allright, I must be missing something.
Seems that, I get no sound unless I run alsaconf each time I log in.
Can anyone think what I may be missing?
I don't have 9.1 yet.
Did you run mixer and max it out? Did you check the audio cable? Do other distros have sound?
I get sound. Is just that I have to run alsaconf everytime I log on, to get sound. After I do that, it works good. But I am lazy to have to do it everytime...
hmm, is this something that requires only parameters passed or just run? put it in your runlevel boot script or in your pre runlevel scripts.
I wish I could do that, but alsaconf has a curses-based gui, and i don't see a way to pass parameters to it.
have you tried alsa's homepage? Perhaps they have a faq or something.
actually this is a common question over at the arch linux forum and there are several solution. if you have something like /etc/rc.local you could pop over to the arch linux forum and do a search for alsa/sound threads and you will find a few threads that have various setting you can pass in your rc.local
Thanks Sarah, Schotty. I got it working.
I checked both the Alsa homepage and the ArchLinux forum, and I saw that many people were bypassing the problem by adding aumix -w 50 -v 85 -c 50 to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, or a similar command.
Though that worked, it seemed like an unclean hack (not that that has stopped me in the past), so I edited manually /etc/asound.state, changing the value of the volume on each entry. That worked.

Game One: Phoenix 130, Clippers 123
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 05/09/06, 12:49am:
The defensive problems were second-generational - it wasn't like Diaw got many easy lanes to the basket off the screen or that Marion was able to drive baseline at will. The Clippers lost the game in the rotations off these sets - and the way you know is the balanced Phoenix scoring attack. Phoenix didn't exploit a particular matchup so much as they were able to anticipate soft spots in the Clipper rotation. When there's open space on the arc, it really doesn't matter who's there for Phoenix because they can all hit.
The Suns shot 12-27 from the arc; the Clippers finished 4-12, two of which were in the waning moments of the game while they were on life support.
Let's break down the possessions that yielded Phoenix's twelve 3-pointers:
- (1st, 6:30) Like most of Phoenix's long-range shots, the Suns first three-pointer of the night is initiated in transition - off a missed Cassell fadeaway. Marion collects the rebounds, dishes it off to Nash who pulls up with :21 on the shot clock and hits an uncontested three-pointer.
For the record, the Clippers are back - just not set. Exactly three seconds has expired on the shot clock.
- (1st, 3:47) Off a successful Brand FT, Barbosa brings the ball up, guarded by Mobley, with Nash on the wing. Thomas sets a high screen for Barbosa. Barbosa uses his quickness to elude the Kaman/Mobley trap/double-team. As Barbosa enters the paint he has (1) Kaman backpedaling, (2) Mobley trying to catch up to the play from behind, and (3) Q leaving Nash wide open on the perimeter to help on Barbosa. Seeing the triple-team, Barbosa passes it back out to Nash on the perimeter and, to their credit, both Cassell and Ross do a nice job rotating here -- Cassell up from the corner and Ross onto Diaw - whom Sam just left.
But all it takes is one loose screw and the entire wheel comes apart - and Nash finds a wide, wide...and I mean wide open Tim Thomas on the garden spot. He hasn't missed in two weeks and he doesn't now. What happened?
After the Barbosa penetration, Kaman never recovered and just blew the assignment.
- (2nd, 11:23) Quickly into their set, Thomas launches up a three and misses, but the long rebound comes out to Raja Bell. Before the Clippers - four of whom are below the foul line -- can reset their defense, the Suns have assumed their spots on the perimeter, including Boris Diaw. Bell kicks it out to Diaw immediately and with :22 left on the new shot clock, he hits it.
- (2nd, 10:18) Classic Phoenix set, even without Nash on the floor. Barbosa starts with the ball, with House on the wing, Bell in the left corner and Diaw in the right corner. Thomas sets a high screen for Barbosa and, again, both Mobley and Kaman end up chasing Barbosa into the lane. If Kevin Pelton were documenting this, he'd have to classify this tactically as a "trap," but trap implies that there's some measure of captivity...and that's not the case here.
Even though Dunleavy has chosen to throw two bodies on Barbosa in the paint, now Vlad leaves Bell in the corner to help on Barbosa - only this time the Phoenix spacing is far too good for any weak side rotation. Maggette would need to hail a cab to get from the right corner to Bell. The mistake was Vlad in leaving Bell in the first place. There was no help he could provide on the play that a weak side defender couldn't.
Wanna know the sick part? Had it not been Bell, it would've been Thomas, who was wide open at his garden spot.
If the Clips are doubling the ball off the screen, what's the sense of having a third defender collapse on him as well? If it's Andre Miller penetrating and Greg Buckner is your biggest perimeter threat, that's one thing. But Dunleavy realizes that if there's a guy in a gorilla suit running around the arena, then he's playing Phoenix, right?
- (2nd, 4:09) This is just bad luck and there's nothing you can do about it. Nash pushes it up. He wants Marion for the alleyoop, but misses. Marion is barely able to save the ball in bounds and it's tipped out to Thomas on the arc.
Look what I found.
- (3rd, 10:53) All it takes is one second of bad individual defense and the whole defensive set is shot to hell. It's a high Nash-Diaw S/R that Brand and Ross defend perfectly. Nash can't get Diaw the ball and Ross isn't providing Nash any room either to penetrate or step back and shoot. With nowhere to go, Nash swings it over to Marion on the perimeter, who is covered by Kaman. Diaw makes a strong cut to the basket, but Brand is with him every step of the way.
But Diaw doesn't have to break free of Brand to be effective and here's why:
When Diaw makes his move, Mobley momentarily shifts his balance away from his man, Bell, in the corner and toward the cutting Diaw. The instant Marion picks up on this, he swings the ball over the now-open Bell in the right corner.
Three points.
An awful decision by Mobley on one of his worst games of the year. What kills here is that you've got four guys out there playing smashmouth defense - particularly Ross and Brand. But the slightest shift of your weight can cost your team three points against Phoenix - and that's what happened with Mobley here.
- (3rd, 9:14) Off a long Cassell miss, Nash pushes it up and - quite appropriately - hits the PUJIT while Sam is still on his heels at :21.
The PUJITer becomes the PUJITee.
- (3rd, 1:23) Nash brings it up left side covered by Livingston with Barbosa on the left wing being guarded by Maggette. Barbosa goes to meet Nash at the arc. When Nash leaves Barbosa with the ball, it's simply a matter of Clipper miscommunication - Maggette thinks there's a switch, so he picks up Nash...but Livingston remains on Nash as well. By the time Livingston figures out that he's sitting in the wrong seat, Barbosa has heaved up his open 25-footer.
- (3rd, 0:02) This is a possession that never should've exited if not for Shaun's awful entry pass into Brand that gets knocked away by Diaw with :12. And there's absolutely nothing to explain these ten seconds other than to stick an adhesive label on it marked, "Phoenix Suns Basketball":
Nash rushes the ball upcourt, weaves his way - first through Brand at about 35 feet, then through Vlad at the arc - through the entire Clippers' defense. When Shaun and Corey finally collapse on Nash in the lane, Nash - falling down -- squirts the ball out to Diaw at the foul line with :05 left in the quarter. Diaw recognizes Raja Bell doing the crossword puzzle in the left corner with no Clipper within ten feet of him.
Diaw to Bell. Three points.
Now you see how this 6'9" French center that was wasting away in obscurity in Atlanta manages routinely to rack up, like, eight assists?
- (4th, 6:01) This score emanated from that Nash-Diaw screen roll drag we broke down earlier. Livingston starts on Nash, with Kaman on Diaw. Ross is monitoring Barbosa on the left wing. A pattern is starting to emerge here because the brainfart looks and smells much like two earlier sets where a Phoenix cutter attracted too much Clipper help at the expense of the Clips' perimeter coverage.
Nash keeps the ball with Diaw dragging toward the hoop and what happens here is that both Livingston and Kaman double Nash, with Ross leaving Barbosa on the wing to take Diaw.
Fine...except...who's rotating up on Barbosa?
That would be no one.
- (4th, 4:16) Yep. The High S/R, this time for Marion. The hedge works nicely here as Kaman picks it up and, as Marion pulls up, Corey meets the Matrix at the spot while Kaman returns to his original man - Diaw. It's one of those sets where you're saying, "good team defense!" All good, until you realize that...
...while Corey closed on Marion, his man - Raja Bell - snuck over to the far right corner and now nobody is within ten feet of him. Hell, he isn't even on my television screen - that's how sick Phoenix's spacing is!
Marion swings a vicious cross-court pass to Barbosa on the wing who touch-passes it over to the wide open Bell.
If it wasn't breaking your heart, it'd be beautiful to watch. Suns by 12 and the writing is on the wall.
- (4th, 2:56) It's pretty much over now, but this is vintage Nash, as Doug Collins points out. Nash first tries the high S/R with Marion, the Clips hedge and the Matrix doesn't get the shot he wants, so he dishes it back to Nash to reset.
The next set is the ol' Diaw S/R. Livingston starts on Nash, Vlad on Diaw. When Diaw makes that cut to the basket, Livingston covers him well, leaving Vlad on Nash. Nash toys with Vlad for a second on the arc, then quickly steps back and fires before Vlad can even put up a hand.
Some more general observations tomorrow. There's some good to be gleaned from Game One, but you can see how eight to ten bad split-second decisions can doom an 18-22 night from your franchise player.
That's all it takes.

Well you didn't think the New York Rangers were going to
sweep the Los Angeles Kings now did you? The Rangers 3-2 loss in the first
overtime was in many ways a self-inflicted loss as the team as despite what
many are going to claim was the Kings domination in the 3rd period
and overtime, I will argue that it was the Rangers and their failure to make
the in-game adjustments that teams have to do in order to win.
Give the Kings credit too as they saw what the Rangers were
attempting to do with those repeated cycles behind the King's goal and shut it
down by using a 3 man triangle which kept the Rangers from wrapping the puck
around and in or to set up shop in the crease. That one is on the coach because
he didn't adjust that strategy even when it was clear that it was failing
And I also wonder why the Rangers didn't pressure the King's
defense more? Carl Hagelin yes is a speed demon but not Benoit Pouliot but he
was able to beat the King defenders up ice. The Rangers should try to keep
someone near the top of the blueline to give those 2 King defensemen something
to think about.
The Rangers can also point to the numerous chances that they
just didn't get on net or committed unforced turnovers when they had a number's
advantage. If the Rangers had finished even 1 of those opportunities then there
is no overtime and we are talking about the Rangers having stolen the home ice
advantage from the Kings.
The Rangers showed that despite the fears of the Kings being
more physical that the Rangers could play with them. The Ranger penalty kill
shut out a Kings power play that was working at 25+% so there is a plus. Take
away the 3rd period and the teams are dead even in shots.
But for those of you who are jumping off the Ranger
bandwagon please remember that this was just game 1 of the series and even if
the Rangers don't win game 2 that the series is over. The Rangers have beaten
the Kings on their home ice just like they did to the Rangers at the Garden.
So come back off the ledge please and not give up hope.
Cam Talbot
You know you have to wonder just how hurt Talbot is when the
Rangers added Jason Missiaen to their traveling party. Missiaen who spent most
of the season playing for the Greenville Road Warriors in the ECHL is being
used as a practice goalie. But if you really want to panic then the mere
thought of something happening to Henrik Lundqvist and his replacements David
LeNeveu (last played in the NHL back during the 2006-2007 season) and Missiaen.
In the event that happens then make room for me too on that
ledge as I will be jumping too.
Calle Andersson
In case you missed it the Rangers signed Andersson to an
Entry Level Contract at the same time that they did Mackenzie Skapski.
Andersson a defenseman is Swedish and spent most of last season playing for
Malmo which plays in the 2nd division league in Sweden.
Andersson is viewed as a strong defender who skates well and
has a high Hockey IQ. 6'2 215 is good size but I have wonder if a player from
Sweden's 2nd division can make the jump to the NHL? We will find out
won't we?

| SCRUM OF THE EARTH: Oregon Rugby Sports Union tussles with the Twin Cities Amazons in a pro rugby game.
IMAGE: Haley Rhoades
Tucked behind a grove of trees along Interstate 205, Fuller's Farm is little more than a football field, a grandstand a few rows deep and a gravel parking lot.
The setting would be a beautiful one for preteen boys playing Pop Warner football. But for 40 adult women playing semiprofessional rugby for Oregon Rugby Sports Union, it's pretty bare-bones.
And the result this fall day against the Twin Cities Amazons is no brighter than the setting. The team loses 25-3 to take its record to 0-4 after going down one player because of penalty cards midway through the game.
The game ends, and 25-year-old forward Tonya Ansel heads onto the field with team chiropractor Randy Leavitt riding piggyback on her. That wouldn't be notable, except Ansel is out for the season with a right ACL tear suffered against the Emerald City Mudhens.
Tough women are not in short supply here.
The Oregon Rugby Sports Union consists of two men's and two women's teams. The team playing this game in October is the top ORSU women's squad and is in its first season with the eight-team USA Rugby's Women's Premier League. The league plays at the highest level below the women's national team, which competes against other countries''s squads. ORSU lost again to the Amazons and the D.C. Furies in the WPL playoffs Nov. 8 in San Francisco.
Last year, the team played in Division 1, a 22-team league with entries from cities such as Chicago and Seattle. Its record was seven wins and one loss.
"Games in that league were not very competitive," says Jarred Power, a former pro rugby player from New Zealand and head coach of ORSU's women's team. "USA Rugby decided that with the World Cup coming up next year, they wanted to get some of the better players going against better competition."
ORSU was selected as one of those eight teams after finishing ninth in Division I the prior year. Because it can carry only a 23-member roster to Premier League games, ORSU has a women's B team to accommodate its roughly 40 players. The B team now competes in Division 1.
Portland is no stranger to women playing brutal sports traditionally considered masculine redoubts, such as roller derby and mixed martial arts. "We get a lot of women from the [University of Oregon's] rugby program," Power says, "and we get people that just show up and don't know anything about rugby."
Rest assured, women's rugby isn't like other major sports. Players are unpaid, and teams will take anyone. ORSU features teachers, lawyers and college students, with talents ranging from novice to international. Four players are members of the national team, the USA Eagles.
One of those Eagles is Beckett Royce, a 38-year-old carpenter who has played with ORSU for six years. After the October game against the Twin Cities Amazons, she's sporting two scuffed-up, muddy knees, taped fingers on both hands, and dried blood under her right eye.
"Nothing major," she says.
It seems major until a player from the Amazons runs to the home team's side of the field, looking for a medic. One of the visiting players has torn open the stitches she received in her head a couple of weeks prior.
"She's freaking out because she doesn't want to go to the hospital and miss her flight," the player says.
The tickets for that flight came out of her own pocket, as they do for all the WPL's players. For every road match, whether it's to Minneapolis or Berkeley, ORSU's players pay their way. They consider themselves lucky to have gotten jerseys from Adidas.
The high cost of living out their dream—Ansel says half the team often doesn't know how it will pay for its flights—forces rugby players into unique circumstances. Players will let their visiting opponents crash on their couches and eat from their kitchens. They travel together to the fields where they cut, sprain and break one another's bones. If there's time, they'll share some post-game beers.
"It's very social before and after the game," Ansel says. Prospects for rugby's popularity and financial support received a boost earlier this fall, when the Olympics accepted the sport starting in 2016. Although seven-on-seven Olympic rugby is a variation of the 15-on-15 matches ORSU plays, Power says the news helps rugby in America.
While acceptance into the Olympics is good news, its full meaning for ORSU depends on a player's age. By 2016, Royce will be too old to play competitively. Ansel is young enough that the Olympics remain a realistic goal. But the Olympics is just a bonus, not a reason to play at places like Fuller's Farm.
"You play because you love the sport," Ansel says. "It's hard to spend all your spare money on rugby if you don't love to play. The Olympics are a long ways away. We just want to get people involved and interested, and keep playing."

My understanding is that there is heavy arbitration with time warner refuses to air NFL network because they wont be able to charge people for it.
Hence why Time Warner has been, currently is, and will forever be the worst company ever.
Oderint Dum Metuant
and I agree with him here....
you just don't know where the ball is going to go when you try to slap/punch it out of the mass of players on a hail mary...especially on a hail mary where they actually practice the play in such a way as to expect a tip/punch/slap on the ball such that Wide Receivers will surround the scrum waiting for it to happen....
the interception is the best way to go about it, it was a blown call...so be it...it's not the first nor will it be the last time a blown call was a deciding factor in a game...
if green bay is as good as they say they are it should not have come down to a one possession game.
oh, and i just read someone on facebook say "The city that has been crying that the officials gave a superbowl win to the Steelers for the past 7 years, is strangely quiet today..."

BUFFALO, N.Y. - On the night the Buffalo Sabres snapped their 7 game winless streak, the future of the General Manager was the talk of the town.
Tuesday night on the Canadian network, Sportsnet, analyst Nick Kypreos said "Darcy Regier, yet again, on the hot seat", saying sources are telling him that Sabres upper management is not happy with the job Regier is doing. On the between-periods show, Kypreos went on to say that his source indicated that Pegula and company "wanted to wait until Christmas, but the decision could come a lot sooner than that."
Today the former player, now TV analyst tempered his statements a bit, telling Two On Your Side "There's always scuttlebut there, and I certainly didn't want to give anyone the impression that anything is imminent, or that I'm reporting that this is going to get done."
Sabres' Spokesman Michael Gilbert told 2 On Your Side that the rumor is 100% false.

Comments about Black Diamond Distance Trekking Poles:
I've used other poles before but these are hands down my favorite. I've used these for backpacking trips and they are very light and pack down to one of the smallest sizes for trekking poles. They don't have any shocks in them like some poles but because they are so light I feel they don't really need them. I was worried about not being able to adjust the height on them but I just adjusted my grip and they worked perfectly on uphill and downhill. Using them makes hiking and backpacking easier hands down.

Really like the 'elbow' system to pack these down to size...very quick to 'set up' and break down. Great for fastpacking......
