Willamette Pass avalanche expert: 'I know the bad spots'
WILLAMETTE PASS SKI AREA, Ore. - For ski patrollers like John Fischer, the day starts before 8 a.m. Fresh snow on the mountain means great skiing - and new dangers.
"What we'll do first is check the weather and what's been going on for the last 24 hours," said Fischer, the avalanche advisor at Willamette Pass. "Anytime we get more than 2 inches of snow an hour or 12 inches in 24 hours, we're worried about avalanches."
Fischer has been patrolling this mountain for 19 years. His main job is preventing avalanches from happening.
"I know the bad spots," Fischer said. "We'll go out along what we call dragon's back ridge and kick cornices."
Fischer said there are two main techniques Willamette Pass ski patrollers use to prevent avalanches on steeper runs.
The first is triggering mini-avalanches when nobody's nearby.
"The snow builds up into big sort of refrigerator-car sized chunks," Fischer said. "We'll kick those down onto the slope. If they trigger an avalanche, if they trigger a slide, then that's an easy way to test for stability."
The other is ski cutting.
"If you ski across it in a careful, controlled way - we'll be on a rope - that cut will trigger the snow to slide down below you," Fischer said.
Some ski areas even resort to blasting hills with artillery to keep skiiers safe.
Avalanche prevention work is especially vital after huge snowfalls like the one this past week in Oregon.
"The number one reason for avalanches here is it snowed a whole bunch and it snowed so fast that the snow couldn't settle so it slid down the hill," Fischer said.
And it's up to patrollers like Fischer to keep those slides from turning deadly.
"We may trigger four or five small slides," he said, "slides that would be dangerous if we didn't do the control work."

Clinical and Genetic Studies on Holoprosencephaly
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine how holoprosencephaly (HPE) affects people, how they change over time, and what genes may be involved in the cause of the disorder. HPE is a defect of brain development in utero in which the forebrain fails to sufficiently divide into two hemispheres, resulting in a single-lobed brain and skull and facial malformations. In most cases, the defects are so severe that babies die before birth. There are three classifications of HPE. In alobar HPE the brain does not divide at all; this form is usually associated with severe facial deformities. In semilobar HPE the hemispheres divide somewhat, causing an intermediate form of the disorder. In lobar HPE, the mildest form, separation of hemispheres is nearly normal.
Patients with HPE and their direct blood relatives may participate in this study. Patients are seen by a team of medical specialists at the NIH Clinical Center for the following procedures:
- Physical and neurological examination
- Eye examination
- Imaging studies, such as echocardiogram, abdominal ultrasound, brain MRI
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- Hearing evaluation
- Blood and urine samples for genetic and endocrine studies, routine blood chemistries, urinalysis, and urine electrolytes
- Other consultations as needed
- Possibly photographs, including front and side views of the face and other body parts that may be involved in HPE, such as the eyes, teeth, hands, and feet
Parents will be asked questions about the child's prenatal, birth, newborn, and past medical history, growth, behavior and development, and therapy and medication.
Because HPE is a genetic disorder and gene changes can be passed on in a family, parents will also be asked to undergo the following procedures:
- Completion of a medical and family history form
- Physical and neurological examination
- Blood and urine samples (for mothers only)
- Specialty consultations as indicated
- Possibly photographs, including front and side views of the face and other body parts that may be involved in HPE, such as the eyes, teeth, hands, and feet
- Psychosocial study. Some parents will be asked to participate in a telephone interview or complete a questionnaire, or both, about their attitudes, beliefs, and concerns about how they and their family cope with their child's condition. Some questionnaires may include questions about aspects of their marriage and personal feelings and experiences.
Parents will meet with a doctor and a genetics nurse to discuss the results of the tests and answer questions. Parents may be asked to bring their child back to the NIH after 2 years for follow-up examination and possible additional or repeat testing.
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Clinical and Genetic Studies on Holoprosencephaly
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2004
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a defect of midline forebrain development that occurs soon after conception. It has a prevalence of 1 in 250 during early embryonic development, and 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000 at term. In live born infants, the abnormalities associated with HPE are divided into three main categories: alobar, semilobar, and lobar HPE. A fourth variant, middle interhemispheric variant, has also been recognized. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of the genetic and clinical manifestations of HPE through detailed physical, psychological, developmental, neurologic, endocrinologic, and radiologic studies. We will examine the spectrum of clinical characteristics of HPE to facilitate early diagnosis and clinical management, including genetic counseling. Finally, we plan to assess the psychosocial impact of HPE on the family as a unit. Most patients and their families will be seen at the NIH Clinical Center. A subset may be examined outside the NIH, and a further subset, for the psychosocial studies, may be interviewed by phone.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Depending on their willingness to participate, subjects may enroll in DNA laboratory-only (98-HG-0249), psychosocial-only, or clinical-only. However, to conserve resources and meet study objectives, subjects with known mutations will be given priority in selection for extensive clinical studies. All races and genders are known to be at risk for HPE, anywhere in the world. Nationality or place of origin is not specific barrier to participation.
- Direct blood relatives (typically parents, and occasionally siblings of affected individuals) of patients with HPE are also eligible to participate.
- Individuals with fatty livers (or related hepatic changes such as steatohepatitis), but without HPE, may participate by submitting a blood sample for DNA testing.
- Anyone unwilling to provide informed consent (for themselves as adults, or on behalf of their children as minors) or assent.
- Medical condition(s) or mental retardation are not in themselves reason for exclusion if in the judgment of the referring physician this would involve no more than minimal risk. We anticipate that children with mental handicaps would be included in the research population. We will make every effort to explain the study for the purpose of assent in a manner that the family feels is both age and developmentally appropriate for that child.
- We generally review a brief clinical description from the referring physician about a potential research subject to determine that the subject is appropriate to enter into the study. We reserve the right to exclude cases that are clearly not HPE or related to our direct research interests (e.g. HPE cases that are syndromic like Smith Lemli Opitz syndrome, Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18, drug-related, or teratogen-related). This almost never happens, and we would attempt to make referrals to a more appropriate investigator.
- Similar to above, in regards to individuals with fatty livers (or related hepatic changes such as steatohepatitis or fibrosis), we will review a brief clinical description from the referring physician to determine that the subject is appropriate to enter into the study. We reserve the right to exclude participants who have liver abnormalities for reasons not directly related to our direct research interests (such as chronic alcohol use or infectious causes). However, as some of these environmental factors may contribute to a multifactorial etiology of hepatic changes, we may not exclude all such cases.

A Watertown city police officer faces charges following a domestic dispute involving his ex-girlfriend that allegedly happened in December.
State police arrested Jonathan M. Pitts, 31, LaFargeville, on one count each of endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor, and second-degree harassment, a violation.
The arrest stems from an incident that allegedly occurred in December involving his estranged girlfriend and a 4-year-old child. Mr. Pitts was arraigned in Orleans Town Court and released. He is scheduled to reappear in court June 20.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said he was informed about the arrest Wednesday by City Manager Sharon A. Addison. Although he did not have specifics about the allegations, Mr. Graham said the police officer was placed on administrative leave.
Obviously, we take these things seriously, but there is a presumption of innocence, the mayor said.
Capt. Cheryl A. Clark declined to comment about the incident and what might happen to the officer.
State police Senior Investigator Patrick A. Hathaway said the incident was referred to state police Tuesday and they proceeded with the case expeditiously and judicially.
Investigator Hathaway declined to give additional comments.

Atop the CU record books is the NCAA-record setting Western Athletic Conference Tournament game between Creighton and Utah held in Omaha on May 11, 1991 that lasted 31 innings before the Jays claimed a 1-0 victory.

Villanova Series Recap: A Bluejay home run clinched each of the three Creighton victories over Villanova in a series sweep of the Wildcats Apr. 5-6.
A solo homer from senior Blair Lowe was the difference in a 1-0 game one. In the 16-inning game two nightcap it was senior Alexis Cantu's game-winning, two-out, two-run bomb down the right field line to claim a 6-4 walk-off decision. In the Sunday finale, freshman Allie Reinhart smacked her first career home run to bring in a trio of runs and give CU a 3-1 victory.
On Saturday seniors Ellen Homan and Blair Lowe hit back-to-back RBI doubles to put CU up 4-2 providing all of the RBI in game two. Cantu, Lowe and Homan combined for 11 of the Jays' 20 hits on the weekend. Junior Bri Lingl added four of her own on offense.
In the circle, senior Becca Changstrom claimed two wins in the series. She held Villanova to four hits in game one for a complete-game shutout while striking out 10 Wildcats. In game two, Changstrom came in as the Jays' third hurler but pitched 10 innings, yielding just six hits and striking out a career-high 16 more VU batters to total 26 in the twin bill. Changstrom finished the twin bill with a 0.00 ERA and gave up just one walk through 17.1 innings of work.
No. 20 Nebraska Game Recap: Creighton fell 5-2 to No. 20 Nebraska at the Cornhuskers' Bowlin Stadium April 2.
CU jumped out to an early 1-0 lead but could not hold on, spreading five hits across the game. Sophomore Kelsey Allender connected on two hits and picked up an RBI, as did classmate Blake Ringle. No. 20 Nebraska tied the game early then held on for the home win.
The bats awoke for the Huskers in the bottom of the third frame. After a short fly out to left, NU posted an RBI single to score a run before another was thrown out at the plate to knot the game at 1-1 after three. Nebraska then scored two unearned in the bottom of the fifth to take control of the game 3-1.
Creighton closed back to within one run in the top of the sixth, thanks an Allender RBI single through the left side to cut the NU lead to 3-2 but the Cornhuskers added two in the bottom of the frame for the 5-2 victory.
Marching into Spring: Creighton finished the month of March with a 15-5 record this year. The Jays closed out the month on a three-game losing streak to Georgetown that snapped a mid-month 10-game, season-best win streak.
Last season the Bluejays finished 14-5 compared to a 9-10 mark in the third month of 2012.
Georgetown Series Recap: The Creighton softball team suffered a 6-1 setback to BIG EAST foe Georgetown in the series finale of a three-game series held at the CU Sports Complex March 30.
Creighton fell behind early to Georgetown in the game and could not recover. As a result the visiting Hoyas earned a three-game road sweep in conference play to take over first place in the conference.
Junior Bri Lingl led the Jays with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth for Creighton's only run of the final game. Sophomore Kelsey Allender added a pair of bunt singles for CU.
On March 29, the Jays dropped a doubleheader to the Hoyas by scores of 5-2 and 6-3 at the CU Sports Complex. Creighton could not overcome late runs scored by Georgetown in the twin bill. The Jays led in both contests but the Hoyas rallied twice for the wins.
CU senior Ellen Homan led the offense for the Bluejays with three hits, two RBI and her third home run of the year on the day. Junior Liz Dike added two hits and sophomore Blake Ringle belted her second homer of the year to pick up a pair of RBI.
Creighton's senior pitching staff of Becca Changstrom, Alexis Cantu and Brittany Telecky combined for 16 strikeouts from the circle but allowed 14 earned runs to Georgetown on the weekend.
Drake Game Recap: Creighton defeated former conference foe Drake 4-2 in eight innings in a single game at the Bulldogs' Buel Field on March 26.
CU won its tenth straight contest heading into their BIG EAST home-opening series against Georgetown. Senior Becca Changstrom struck out eight and held Drake to just four hits in the contest to improve to 11-5 after the complete-game win.
After the Bluejays jumped out to an early 2-0 lead battled back with two in the bottom of the fourth to knot the game at 2-2 and eventually send it into extra innings.
CU posted seven hits from seven different batters to secure the win. Senior Ellen Homan continued her hot bat at the plate with two RBI in the game. Sophomore Kelsey Allender secured the game winning run in the top of the eighth with an RBI single to right field.
Changstrom and Dike Sweep BIG EAST Softball Honors: Creighton softball senior Becca Changstrom and junior Liz Dike swept the BIG EAST Softball weekly honors as Changstrom was the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week and Dike claimed the BIG EAST Player of the week on March 24.
The award was the first for Dike while Changstrom earned the award for the second straight week from the BIG EAST. Previously, the two had combined for four league honor roll appearances from the conference in 2014.
From March 19-22, Dike was 6-of-9 from the plate for a .667 average in a 3-0 week for the Bluejays, which included a mid-week win over Wichita State and a Saturday sweep of league foe Butler. She belted a BIG EAST weekly-best five home runs and 10 RBI, showing a 2.333 slugging percentage. Dike provided the game-winning RBI in all three of Creighton's wins last week, a solo shot to give the Bluejays' a 2-1 lead in the second inning against the Shockers, a solo home run in the fourth in the opener at Butler and a three-run blast in the first inning of the second game.
Changstrom earned complete game victories on Wednesday in Creighton's home opener against Wichita State (2-1) and Saturday against Butler (6-0) in the Bluejays' BIG EAST Conference debut. Over the two-game span, she combined for 14 innings pitched and 27 strikeouts, with her 14 K's against the Bulldogs being the most in league play this season and one shy of the overall season high.
Butler Series Recap: Liz Dike blasted four home runs and accounted for nine RBI as Creighton opened BIG EAST play with a doubleheader sweep of Butler, 6-0 and 10-0 (6) on March 22.
Dike opened the scoring in the top of the fourth inning with a leadoff home run over the left field wall, her seventh of the season.
That was all the offense that senior Becca Changstrom would need as she held Butler to just four hits in a complete game, seven-inning, effort. Changstrom moved to 10-5 on the season, recording 14 strikeouts and walking just two.
Dike was far from done, belting a three-run shot to center in the fifth and drawing a walk in the sixth. Designated player Blake Ringle added a two-run single in the sixth to cap Creighton's scoring.
Creighton continued to mash from the opening pitch of the second game as Ellen Homan led off game number two with a single to center. Blair Lowe followed with a bunt single and Dike made the Bulldogs pay with her tenth long ball of the season, depositing another one over the center field wall.
The Bluejays tacked on two runs in the second, one in the third to build a 6-0 lead. In the top of the sixth Creighton delivered crushing back-to-back-to-back home runs. With one-out in the frame Lowe worked a base on balls. Dike smashed home run number 10, once again to center. Alexis Cantu and Blake Ringle liked what they saw so much, each opted for the same result hitting solo home runs to center.
In the circle Cantu was superb, holding Butler to three hits in six innings to move to 4-3 on the year.
Wichita State Game Recap: Powered by solo home runs from Ellen Homan and Liz Dike, Creighton defeated Wichita State, 2-1, in the Bluejays home opener on Wednesday, March 19.
The tone of the game was set in the first inning as senior Becca Changstrom struck out the side in the top of the first, then Homan hit the first pitch of the Creighton half over the right field wall to give the Bluejays a 1-0 lead.
Dike doubled the Bluejay edge with a towering shot over the left-center field wall with one down in the second. It was Dike's sixth bomb, and Homan's second long ball of the season.
That was all the offense Changstrom would need as she limited Wichita State to three hits and one walk in a complete game to move to 9-5 on the season. Changstrom surrendered an unearned run in the fourth and stranded a runner at third with one down in the fifth but otherwise cruised.
Changstrom Earns BIG EAST Pitching Honor: Creighton senior Becca Changstrom earned her first BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week honor on March 17.
In four appearances at the Rebel Spring Games, Changstrom went 3-0, putting in 23.0 innings of work. The senior hurled the first Bluejay no-hitter since 2011 with her seven-inning, 11-strikeout showing against Army on March 14. Changstrom recorded double-digit strikeouts in three-of-four appearances last weekend, boasting a 0.30 ERA and allowing just one extra-base hit.
Rebel Spring Games Recap: The Bluejays went 11-1 at the 2014 Rebel Spring Games March 9-15. The wins increased Creighton's all-time record at the tourney to 60-10 (.857) in seven appearances at the Florida tourney all under current head coach Brent Vigness.
The Bluejays shut out seven opponents (Manhattan, Indiana State, Saint Peter's, Howard, Army and South Dakota twice) over the six-day span. The Jays' one downfall occurred March 11 in a 4-1 loss to Utah Valley.
February Finishes: The Bluejays finished the month of February with a disappointing 4-8 ledger. The mark snapped seven straight seasons that head coach Brent Vigness had directed the Bluejays to a winning record in the first month of the season.
Creighton finished the month of February in 2013 with a 5-4 record.
The Bluejays are 50-32 in February spanning the last eight seasons to the beginning of 2007.
Tulsa Invitational Recap: The Bluejays dropped three tough games at the nationally ranked Golden Hurricane's Tulsa Invitational Feb. 28-March 1. Then No. 21 Tulsa swept the Bluejays in a doubleheader on Feb. 28 by scores of 3-0 and 8-0 (6).
The Bluejays then lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to Northwestern State in eight innings to open the month of March.
Senior Blair Lowe led the Jays' offense with four hits on the weekend. The CU senior pitcher staff combined for 22 strikeouts on the weekend despite the rough outing.
UTA Hilton Invitational Recap: The Bluejays went 1-4 at the UTA Hilton Invitational in Arlington, Texas on Feb. 21-23.
The Bluejays split a pair of games with Texas Tech of the Big 12 in the first two days of the tourney. CU dropped a 7-3 decision in the tourney opener before a walk-off 1-0 win a day later.
Creighton dropped both games against host UTA by margins of 8-0 (5) and 6-5 in the same span.
The Jays fell 9-1 to Illinois of the Big Ten in their tournament finale.
CU senior Alexis Cantu returned to her former school to lead the Jays' offense with four hits, three RBI and a home run. Senior Blair Lowe also added four hits on the weekend.
Cantu was also solid in the circle to lead the Jays with a 1.91 ERA and a 1-1 record.
Kajikawa Classic Recap: Creighton opened 2014 at the Kajikawa Classic Feb. 6-8.
After an opening-day doubleheader loss to a pair of NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago in San Jose State (11-2) and at then-No. 7 Arizona State (3-0), the Jays closed out the tourney with three straight wins.
The Jays collected double-bagel wins over Western Michigan (9-0 (5)) and Boise State (4-0), leading to even its record to 2-2 on day two.
Creighton saved the best for last as the Bluejays upset then-No. 24 California 6-4 in their tournament finale. It marked CU's first win over a ranked foe since last March 2 when the Jays upended then-No. 21 Tulsa 4-3 in extra innings at the UTA Maverick Invitational for its first win over a ranked team since February 2010.
The Bluejays are 8-8 all-time at the Kajikawa Classic following a 2-3 record last season and a 3-3 ledger at Tempe in 2010.
Changstrom Named Candidate for Senior Class Award: Creighton senior pitcher Becca Changstrom was named one of 30 softball players in the NCAA to be selected as a candidate for the Senior Class Award on Feb. 20.
Heading into the season, the top pitcher in the Bluejay rotation in each of her four seasons in Omaha, Changstrom has a combined record of 59-34 in 103 appearances. The 2013 NFCA All-Midwest Region Second Team selection was the 2013 MVC Pitcher of the Year as well as a member of the 2013 All-MVC First Team.
Changstrom boasts a 3.79 GPA in chemistry. After graduation this spring, she plans on pursuing a Master's degree in Physical Therapy at Creighton. A member of the 2013 CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team, she was also a 2013 CoSIDA Academic All-District VII First Teamer.
Over her first three years at Creighton, Changstrom logged over 80 hours of community service in Omaha including working with the Special Olympics, Salvation Army and Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Thirty NCAA® softball student-athletes who excel both on and off the field were selected as candidates today for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate softball. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition. The complete list of candidates follows this release.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The 2014 candidate class includes 13 student-athletes who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher. Four were named to the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-American team, and nine were members of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America team in 2013.
Season-Opening Salvo: The Bluejays' season-opening loss to San Jose State snapped Creighton's three-year opening-day win streak of 2011-13. That first-game win streak matches the longest in program history when the Jays previously won three consecutive openers from 2006-08 and 1998-2000. All three streaks were under the direction of current head coach Brent Vigness.
Creighton is 19-19 overall in season-opening contests including an 11-10 record under head coach Brent Vigness.
Preseason Predictions: Creighton was picked to finish second overall in its inaugural BIG EAST season, the league office announced Feb. 5.
Creighton received two first-place votes and collected 44 points, just behind DePaul who amassed 48 points and accounted for the remaining six first-place votes.
While none of the eight conference teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament a season ago, DePaul finished with the best record of returning squads at 32-21 overall and 16-6 in the BIG EAST to claim a fourth-place league finish a year ago. The Blue Demons have appeared in 17 of the last 19 NCAA Tournaments.
The Bluejays won the 2013 MVC regular season title and finished with a 29-18 record overall and a 15-7 mark in conference. The Bluejays were picked fourth in the preseason.
The second-place prediction is the highest preseason ranking for Creighton since 2010 when they were picked to win the Missouri Valley Conference. Creighton has finished lower than fourth in conference regular season standings just three times in the past 16 seasons.
Recapping 2013: The Bluejays return 13 players from last season's team that compiled a 29-18 overall record and finished first in the MVC at 15-7 to claim the regular season title.
Senior Becca Changstrom leads the Jays in the circle this year after claiming MVC Pitcher of the Year honors last season. At the plate CU returns three 2013 All-MVC selections including seniors Ellen Homan, Blair Lowe and junior Liz Dike.
After guiding the Jays to a regular-season Valley crown, CU head coach Brent Vigness garnered his fourth MVC Coach of the Year honor. He has led the Bluejays to seven MVC regular-season titles (1998-2000, 2007-09, 2013), six Valley tournament titles (1999, 2003-05, 2007, 2010) and seven NCAA regional appearances (1999, 2003-05, 2007-08, 2010) during his 20 years in the dugout.

You know what I am not going to bother rehashing why the New York Rangers gave away game four of their series with the Philadelphia Flyers as I am sure you don't need to torture yourself any more than the team did. Saturday Night is a big night for all of us here at the Blueshirt Bulletin as the magazine and everything about iot is going to undergo a major rebranding.
In an event that is also designed to help raise money for Ice Hockey In Harlem, the magazine is going to show the world about the changes being made. The rebranding will take place at Suite 36 and hopefully you can come out to meet fellow Ranger fans as well as former Rangers Nick Fotiu and Ron Greschner. For more information on the event check out this link here.
That said maybe the magazine isn't the only one who needs to undergo a rebranding as man it is way past old to have to deal with nights like Friday. Nothing is sadder than seeing Ranger fans on Facebook and Twitter asking the same question: Why can't the Rangers put back to back playoff games together?
Before the playoffs a couple of folks said to me that making the playoffs in 8 out of the last 9 years is a sign of the team being competitive. I disagree as when 16 teams can make the playoffs then it is no longer that hard of a task. To me it is what you do in those playoffs that should determine whether or not you are a competitive franchise.
Just one trip to the conference finals during these 8 years just doesn't cut it for me. Nor does 3 first round exits as well as 3 second exits. This franchise needs a player who come playoff time is going to rise to the occasion and put the team on his back so competing for the CUP is what happens.
I seriously doubt it will be Rick Nash not with his 2 goals in 19 career playoff games. Is Rick Nash afraid to attack the net these days because of his concussion history? I mean other than the one rush with 25 seconds left in the game, I kept seeing Facebook posts and tweets asking where was Rick Nash?This franchise needs a rebranding in which the team realizes that is is really OK to put a string of strong efforts together during the playoffs. I hate losing but I can live with it better if I know the team gave it more than 5 minutes of intense effort (3 at the start, 2 at the end).
It needs a rebranding in which instead of the constant postgame "we need to be better at (insert weakness here)" that someone on the team challenges his teammates to stop talking and start playing. Maybe having locker rooms where everyone loves each other as recent Ranger locker rooms have claimed to be need some tension in them.
Give this franchise a rebranding to where 60 minute efforts are happening on a consistent basis not every other game or when the team is in trouble. A rebranding for where (OK one quote about last night via Katie Strang) The Rangers lacked that crucial quality -- killer instinct is not as common as it has been for these 9 years.
Someone please tell the Ranger players that it is OK to kick the crap out of a team and having easy wins is a much better way to go than 1 goal nightmares. Really it is OK when you are up 3-1 to make it 4,5,6,7 or even 8-1. Open up a butt kicking so the other guys are wondering in between games if they can beat the Rangers.
Instead now they head to New York Sunday believing they can win on Garden ice and it is nobody's fault but the Ranger skaters. And I hate saying this but I have this really bad feeling that it will be the Rangers playing scared instead of the Flyers.
I know there will be those who say "well as long as we keep playing well in the odd games we will win the series" and while that is a nice hope, it is also a misleading one. Seriously you just know that the NHL if the Rangers have to go 7 games will schedule game 1 of the second round on Friday so they can give NBC a Sunday afternoon game.
Sorry but it is time to rebrand more than a magazine as the franchise it covers needs a bit of a makeover too.

2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle discuss the Bills match-up against the New England Patriots in Foxboro on Sunday.
The Bills have lost 17 of the last 18 games against New England and haven't won in Foxboro since back in 2000. That was before Gillette Stadium was even built. The Bills had a 21-7 lead in the third quarter of the first meeting of the season in Orchard Park, before Tom Brady and the Patriots put together six consecutive touchdown drives and won the game 52-28.
The Bills are now 3-5 after a 21-9 loss at Houston on Sunday. They have lost four of their last five games. The Patriots are 5-3 coming off a bye and before that, beat the Rams 45-7 in London. New England has won four of its last five games and has the top ranked offense in the NFL.

Tag: Punxsutawney Phil
Happy Groundhog Day!
By Nathan Erb on February 2, 2012 at 6:30 AM
I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, where Groundhog Day always gets plenty of attention. After all, Punxsutawney Phil is known worldwide, especially after the 1993 movie starring Bill Murray. Sure, it may be more about tradition than actually finding out if spring is around the corner – or if we're stuck with six more weeks […]

On his first trip to Israel, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Monday that all U.S. foreign aid should be gradually eliminated, including the roughly $3 billion sent annually to the country he was visiting.
Speaking at the Jerusalem Institute for Market Studies, a liberty-oriented Israeli think tank, Paul "acknowledged he was expressing a 'minority opinion' and doubted Congress would end foreign aid in his lifetime," according to the Associated Press.
"It's unlikely anything changes," he said, "but I think it is worth discussing."
Paul, who was recently appointed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, laid out the reasons why he believes winding down foreign aid would benefit both the United States and Israel.
First, he said, was the practical matter of whether the United States could afford to keep doling out aid when it is already running trillion-dollar annual deficits.
Although Paul stated "that the United States is and always will be a friend of Israel" (in the words of the Jerusalem Post), he expressed concern that "it will be harder to be a friend of Israel if we are out of money. It will be harder to defend Israel if we destroy our country in the process. I think there will be significant repercussions to running massive deficits ... you destroy your currency by spending money you don't have."
Paul added that he finds borrowing from foreign countries to fund foreign aid particularly irrational.
"To me it has always been about whether it makes sense for me to borrow money from China to give to Pakistan," he explained.

LOWVILLE Lewis County legislators posed many questions concerning the proposed new office building when they met Thursday afternoon, but their discussions resulted in few answers.
Instead, the board is waiting to hear from the community when it holds a public forum Tuesday.
Its a huge decision, said Board of Legislators Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan. We are coming to listen.
The public will view two PowerPoint presentations at Tuesdays meeting. Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, will present plans for a three-story office building with an unfinished top floor intended solely for storage and future needs, while the county will present the financial impact of the building project, along with several possible options still on the table.
The option of reducing the $11.2 million three-story structure to an $8.7 million two-story structure will be discussed.
The final space allotted for the Department of Social Services in the new building will indicate how much grant money the county will receive for construction.
Restoration of the vacated space in the Social Services building on outer Stowe Street and relocation of displaced departments in rented properties also will factor into the location of other offices.
Legislators also discussed a letter they received from the village of Lowville requesting a meeting between the villages Municipal Water and Sewer Board and county officials, to discuss and clarify the water and sewer demands of this project.
Village officials also expressed concerns over the anticipated increase in traffic on village-owned Stowe Street.
Legislative Buildings and Grounds Committee Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, said, Well be talking to the village about everything.
The public forum is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Lowville fire hall on North State Street.

The University of Maine system got low rankings from a first-of-its-kind study that evaluates teacher preparation. Nearly all seven UMaine campuses received one star or less for their undergraduate education programs. Maine is not alone in its bottom-level ratings, but some university officials question the review's criteria. Patty Wight reports.
How's this for a scathing critique of U.S. education programs? The newly-released Teacher Prep Review calls it an "industry of mediocrity." Out of 1,400 institutions evaluated by the National Council on Teacher Quality - which published the report - just four received a full four-star ranking.
Managing Director of Teacher Preparation Studies Arthur McKee says the education training field is in disarray. "Most programs are getting two or fewer stars," he says.
And that includes Maine's. Most of the state university campuses received less than one star for their undergraduate education programs. Just a handful eked out an overall single-star rating, like the Orono campus, for its elementary education program, and Fort Kent and Presque Isle, for their secondary education programs.
The University of Southern Maine shines a little brighter, at two and a half stars. McKee says the rankings for elementary education programs are the most troubling. "We don't see a single program in Maine that is doing a good job in teaching reading," he says.
McKee say there are bright spots in some Maine teacher training programs, but overall, they do a poor job teaching the fundamentals of classroom management, he says, and need to be more selective when admitting education students.
To create its rankings, the study evaluated course requirements, syllabuses, and admission standards. It took eight years and 10 pilot studies to hone the methodology. But Maine education officials are not convinced the review gives an accurate picture of their programs.
"You know, to make these judgements without ever a campus visit, or to understand what's really happening day to day, and the faculty work - that's leaving a gap in the report, I think," says Cathy Fallona, associate dean for USM's School of Education. She says the review completely ignored the school's strengths.
"Our programs are predominantly at the graduate level, and yet the focus of our report was undergraduate teacher education," she says. "So I was somewhat suprised they didn't identify or report on our largest program and the one we're best known for."
As for raising admission standards, Fallona says USM has already identified that need and raised the bar. The dean of the University of Maine's College of Education, William Nichols, says his school is doing the same. But he thinks there's a larger cultural shift that needs to happen to attract top students to teaching.
"Probably our top students are going into programs like engineering, and NFSA and business," he says. "Education - there's just not going to be a whole lot of monetary reward for pursing what I would consider the most noble of careers."
Nichols says some top-tier students may be turned off to teaching because the profession is under the microscope and tends to undervalued. He thinks the review's methodology only gives a partial picture of the University of Maine education program, and points out that the school undergoes a rigorous accreditation process every two years, where it's evaluated on site.
But he says he appreciates the feedback. "Like most things, we can always be better, and we always are striving to improve," Nichols says.
Arthur McKee, from the National Council on Teacher Quality, says the hope is that the review will tap into the power of the market to inspire change, when aspiring teachers make choices about where to pursue their education. He says there's a reason his organization is targeting teacher training for improvement. The report says the typical first-year teaching experience is akin to fraternity hazing.
"It's not just that teacher preparation is a good lever because it's at the beginning, but it's also because an ever-higher percentage of students are being taught by first-year teachers," McKee says. "So we conservatively estimate that one-and-a-half million students every year get a first-year teacher."
At the Maine Department of Education, spokesperson Samantha Warren says the department is committed to ensuring that teacher education programs are as rigorous as possible. She says the department is continually working with higher education institutions to strengthen their programs.
