Race reinvented for post-apartheid SA
Two decades since 1994, we're still stuck in the racial categories of the old regime - a colour-coding of class from which only the rich benefit.
Two decades since 1994, we're still stuck in the racial categories of the old regime - a colour-coding of class from which only the rich benefit.
The real problem between black and white South Africans is not white people's attitude, but the government's desertion of black people.
Government and business should never be apologetic about implementing affirmative action, according to National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega.
I so wish I could find some way to show my white friends the world I live in, where I wake up daily to fight my way out of "earning" my place.
As black people we need to liberate ourselves from self-doubt and wondering if we are ever really good enough - and dominate, writes Khaya Dlanga.
The subtext that black people are incompetent is widespread and racist and must be addressed, writes Nikiwe Bikitsha.
Captain Renate Barnard has handed in her resignation after a protracted battle for promotion within the SAPS, denied her because she is white.
President Jacob Zuma has called for intensified affirmative action policy after the elections.
Although affirmative action is at times abused and unfairly used, it is still far from unnecessary. We just need to learn how to make it work.
The DA's good intentions are that of a white master who thinks that he knows what is best for a black person, writes Khaya Dlanga.
Lindiwe Mazibuko and others have scored a victory in the DA with its decision that race matters, which puts the party on a more interesting course.
The ruling that it is unfair to use only national demographics to implement affirmative action was a victory for equality, the Foundation said.
The case against correctional services for its "blatant policy of absolute racial representation" in hiring for jobs has continued, amid protests.
The ANC has used power allotted to it to create a black elite by implementing affirmative action in rather doubtful ways, writes Sampie Terreblanche.
The Black Business Council (BBC) could take the government to the Constitutional Court over a procurement process it believes to be unfair.
Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel says the country will need its entire skills base for government's R300-billion infrastructure programme.
Affirmative action supporters have asked a US federal appeals court to overturn California's ban on considering race in public college admissions.
Henry Louis Gates Jr's admission reflects a fundamental problem with affirmative action.
Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe's defence of affirmative action during his visit to the United States is "immoral", the Freedom Front+ said.

"I Saw Her in a Dream"
"I Saw Her in a Dream"
The woman who held our adopted baby was reluctant to hand her over, as in my dream.
My 13-year-old daughter was known for her enthusiasm. Excitement was Maddi's nature. But the day she returned from a mission trip to China, she was practically ecstatic.
She couldn't stop talking about the orphaned babies the group had spent time with. "Mom," she said, "there were so many. I held them. I played with them. I made them laugh and coo."
"That's nice, honey," I said. She'll be a good mother someday, I thought. Until then she had a lot to learn about babies. I certainly had no desire to return to the days of diaper changing, bottle washing and constant supervision.
My son, Zach, was 11. He and Maddi were fairly independent now. I liked having that freedom for myself and more time to spend with my husband, Lance. My family was exactly the way I wanted it to be.
Maddi kept talking. "I have an idea," she said. "I set my heart on it the minute I walked into the orphanage in Shantou." She grabbed my hands, her eyes bright. "Mom," she said, "let's adopt one of those babies."
Maddi's confession startled me so much, all I could do was laugh.
She looked crushed. "I'm serious!"
"I know," I said. "But we could never do something like that."
Tears welled up in Maddi's eyes. "We'd save a child's life," she said. I put my arms around her. She made me proud. She'd had an unforgettable experience seeing those abandoned children. Anyone as loving as Maddi would want to rescue them too.
As the days passed Maddi held fast to her idea. She didn't let up. Several times a week she asked her father and me if we could adopt a baby from China. "I'll help take care of her," she offered one evening at dinner. "I promise."
Lance could tell the subject was beginning to irritate me. "No, Maddi," he said. "It's not possible."
"Why not?" Zach chimed in. Now we had both of them to contend with.
"Children need parents," Maddi cried. "You of all people should know, Mom!" Tears streamed down her face, and she ran from the kitchen table, leaving her dinner untouched.
Lance and I sat quietly. My daughter's words had hit home. I understood very well the benefits of adoption, and Maddi knew it. I was adopted myself. My blonde hair and blue eyes didn't match Mom and Dad's. We looked nothing alike. But there was no doubt in my mind. We were family.
"Maddi has thrown me for a loop," I said to Lance. "This idea of adoption. It seems crazy." He agreed. For us, having a son and daughter was just perfect. Presumably, we could have more children of our own, if we wanted. I was 39, but it was still possible.
A few days later we went to my parents' for the weekend. They were eager to hear about Maddi's trip. She was the center of attention, especially when she talked about the orphans of Shantou. "I wish Mom and Dad would adopt a baby," Maddi said to them.
I wanted to crawl under the rug.
"That'll never happen," her grandpa chimed in. "Your mom's too old."
"Wait a minute, Dad. You think I'm too old to raise another child? You were 40 when you adopted me."
"That was different. This isn't something you want to do, is it?"
On the way home Maddi sulked in the backseat. I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She hadn't wavered from her wish in the three months since she'd come back from her trip.
Teasing me in the corner of my mind was a thought. Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all. I could never mention this to Lance. He would never agree to it.
After our confrontation that night Maddi didn't talk much about adoption. Funny thing: I thought about it more. I saw an Asian child with Caucasian parents at church and my mind raced. They did it. Could we? What was I thinking? I didn't want a baby!

So far I haven't had to do a stress test. Don't want to.
Now I see that there are stress tests, and there are STRESS tests.
They mean exertion stress. This is another kind, one I must take control of or it will shorten my life.

This cold rainy Friday, my pals at work are comparing Thanksgiving notes.
And what's fun, of course, is to hear about the minor disasters.
At my house, we still have the 1997 Cheap Jeep, despite the wise advice we got from all quarters to get rid of it ASAP.
Naturally, the four members of my nuclear family set off in the Jeep to buy pies. It stalled several times, but once it was really hard to get going. There we were in the middle lane at Kirby and 59, people were honking and shooting fingers, and all of us were, let's say, embarrassed and worried.
My spouse, Mason, who can quote Shakespeare, started talking to the drivers honking and gesturing at us. What did he say?
"We're not picking our noses here, go around!!"
We did make it home, clutching our House of Pie pies to our bosoms, and went on to have a really lovely Thanksgiving.
If you have a minor accident report, I want to hear it.

CONCERNS have been raised in Bilton regarding speeding traffic especially among Holmes Lane. The Police report that this location is already covered by an active Speed Watch Group who attend regularly, however the problem persists.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will be proactively looking at the issue. The Bilton Speed Watch Group will continue to attend and alongside this a period of enforcement will also take place by the Neighbourhood Team. Offending drivers caught speeding will be dealt with via speed seminars, Fixed Penalty Notices or court proceedings depending on the level of speed found.
Police have also acted on concerns about under-age drinking, criminal damage and speeding incidents in Aldborough village. However, Inspector Mark Coulthard, in the latest report for the Mid Holderness area says it has become apparent that residents are regularly witnessing varying forms of anti-social behaviour as well as suffering from it. But, for whatever reason, they are choosing not to report incidents to the police.
"The Neighbourhood Policing Team strongly urges anyone who witnesses/suffers from anti-social behaviour to report the problem as without that report there is little we can do to resolve the issue. Please don't suffer in silence. If it is affecting your quality of life then report it on our new telephone number 101 or if you would like to speak to one of our team feel free to attend on of our Police Surgeries."
Police Surgeries:
Burstwick Police Surgeries
Thursday 7th June from 3pm – 4pm at the Mobile Library on School Grounds, Main Road, Burstwick
Thursday 12th July from 3pm – 4pm at the Mobile Library on School Grounds, Main Road, Burstwick

Black Friday, are you feeling it?
Set those alarm clocks for no later than 03:00 so you will be in the queue for that $99 GPS receiver. Step right up. Don't be late.
That was an Old Style* flashback moment for me. I think the last time I heard Tom Waits was my college roommate's constant playing of his Small Change LP. Here is a live version with Mr. Waits.
*Old Style was about as wild as it ever got for me, except for maybe the Everclear enhanced Kool-Aid at that Jonestown party.

Hi everyone,
Thank you all for your time and enthousiasm. Please find the keynote intended for for the meeting here.
Do not hesitate to post discussion topics on this very page.
We'll come back to you soon with informations regarding the next workshop. Be prepared!
I'm wondering if there are any local London folk interested in meeting up to discuss how we could support the development of the IxDA.
I'm thinking of an informal meet to:- identify who is interested (if any),- and if there is interest, planning subsequent meets, and- come up with some ideas of ways in which we can help.
Cheers,-- Rob
I can appreciate many of the views shared here. My last post about Engineering IS Design IS Engineering was meant to prompt discussion. It did a little bit. My overall take on this subject is that we are in need of some serious stepping back and re-evaluation of all the disciplines. Take the Stanford site is an interesting case study. They don't help the world by having a design program named, of all things Design. What kind? What department? Graphic, Industrial, Product, ME.

Hey Everybody,
time for you to come out and mingle with your fellow designers at our Tuesday IxDA Happy Hour in August.
I wanted to point out a feature that I think can really help people out and hopefully will get more people to explore the Web-interface as a better primary interface for writing and exploring the digital community.
When you "Create a Thread" from http://ixda.org/discussion and go to http://ixda.org/node/add/discussion you get a form to fill out w/ the usual fields of title, tags and body. you can even add attachments, make your text a bit richer using HTML or the WYSIWYG editor. But there is also another feature that I think might help limit a lot of the redundant traffic.
Hi folks,
I have an early morning interview for an IxD position at a high-growth 2 year-old startup. The company produces a physical device, as well as the software that will function across multiple devices and platform (mobile and desktop). As fas as I know, i'll be reporting directly to the VP of User Experience and working closely with the other designers / developers. The culture is what you'd expect at a startup, small intimate groups.
Hi Everybody,
This is a note from our moderation team to remind everybody of a few important things that will help keep the discussions active and interesting.
1. There is a separate Job Board on the site at http://www.ixda.org/jobs - Please use this section to post jobs, not the discussions. Starting now Jobs posted to discussions will be removed, and the poster reminded to re-post it in the Job Board
[I posted this originally on my blog, but had nice comments from people on Twitter and feel that w/ that acceptance it is OK to post here as well. It is more important to be here so a real conversation in the community can take place.]
IxDA Atlanta is hosting its Interaction 10 redux event on Wednesday, March 31st, at Macquarium in Atlanta.

Come on out if you're in the Atlanta area.
hello IxDAers,
I'm in the midst of a project and I'd appreciate it if I can get your contributions to help me. I am in the midst of writing about what makes IxDA special and I thought there is no better way to tell the tale then by collecting the stories from its members.

Horses of Gili Trawangan, Lombok, Indonesia
The Gili Islands lie off the coast of Lombok and are only accessible by boat. There are three laws on the islands: no dogs, no motorised vehicles of any kind, and no police. Because there are no motorised vehicles, horses and their carts (cidomos) can be hired for travelling longer distances on the islands. The bells attached to their harnesses can be heard all over the largest island, Gili Trawangan.
Circling Gili T (as it is affectionately known) is a wide path that takes about 2- 4 hours to complete on foot. As we walked down one particularly empty stretch, we rounded the corner to discover the sight of men bathing their horses in the surf. The closeness between the men and their horses was clearly evident. Sometimes on holiday it can seem like every path is trodden and there is nothing left to stumble across. But the Gilis reminded me that there is plenty more to see and discover. In these islands, you never know what might be around the corner.

The couture house of Yves Saint Laurent was founded in 1961 and has since become one of the most influential labels of the 20th century. The designer popularized fashion trends such as the beatnik look, safari jackets, tight pants and tall, thigh-high boots, and of course the creation of arguably the most famous classic tuxedo suit for women in 1966, Le Smoking suit.

Artistic Director and Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson (© Chris Hardy)
Helgi Tomasson has held the position of artistic director for San Francisco Ballet since July 1985. Since then, the Company has evolved from a respected regional troupe to an international company praised for its broad repertory, dancers of uncommon range and skill, and a vision that continually sets the standard for the international dance world.
San Francisco Ballet is dancing better than it has at any point in its history. As a choreographer, teacher, and coach, Tomasson has fostered an uncompromising classicism that has become the bedrock of the Company's training. The dancers are energized and inspired by this rigorous training and continue to rise to new heights with each passing year.
Born in Reykjavik, Iceland, Tomasson began his early ballet training there with an Icelandic teacher and then joined the National Theatre's affiliated school, which was led by Danish instructors Erik and Lisa Bidsted. At 15, the emerging dancer began his professional career with the celebrated Pantomime Theatre in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. Two years later, Jerome Robbins met Tomasson and, impressed by his dancing, arranged a scholarship for him to study at the School of American Ballet in New York City. Soon after, Tomasson began his professional career with The Joffrey Ballet and two years later joined The Harkness Ballet. Over the next six years, he became one of the company's most celebrated principal dancers.
In 1969, Tomasson entered the First International Ballet Competition in Moscow as a United States representative and returned with the Silver Medal (the Gold Medal was awarded to Mikhail Baryshnikov). The following year, Tomasson joined New York City Ballet as a principal dancer and over the course of his career became one of the finest classical dancers of his era. He was one of the foremost interpreters of George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, and both men created several roles expressly for him. In 1982, Tomasson choreographed his first ballet for the School of American Ballet Workshop, which elicited encouragement from Balanchine to continue choreographing.
In 1985, Tomasson accepted the invitation from SF Ballet to become artistic director of America's oldest professional ballet company, drawing to a close a glorious performing career. Since assuming this role, Tomasson has choreographed over 40 ballets, including stunning full-length productions of Don Quixote (co-staged by Yuri Possokhov), Giselle, Romeo & Juliet, The Sleeping Beauty, and two productions of Swan Lake (1988 and 2009). His intricate and varied works, such as 7 for Eight, Chi-Lin, Concerto Grosso, The Fifth Season, Handel—a Celebration, Meistens Mozart, Nanna's Lied, and Sonata, showcase the unique qualities of individual dancers. Tomasson's Prism, which debuted in 2000 at New York City Ballet, received rave reviews and was deemed a "triumph" by The New York Times. In 2004, his new production of Nutcracker, created in collaboration with an internationally recognized design team, debuted to enthusiastic critic and audience response. The New York Times proclaimed, "This is a Nutcracker on a grand scale…striking, elegant and beautiful." On December 17, 2008, Tomasson's Nutcracker was broadcast nationally on Great Performances on PBS, in partnership with KQED Public Television in San Francisco.
The strong classical base instilled by Tomasson enables the dancers to effortlessly navigate a myriad of styles by a range of internationally distinguished choreographers. Those invited by Tomasson to create works on the Company have included David Bintley, Val Caniparoli, Jorma Elo, William Forsythe, James Kudelka, Lar Lubovitch, Mark Morris, Yuri Possokhov, Alexei Ratmansky, Paul Taylor, Stanton Welch, and Christopher Wheeldon. Tomasson has also continued to expand SF Ballet's repertory through acquiring works by renowned choreographers such as Sir Frederick Ashton, George Balanchine, August Bournonville, Michel Fokine, Hans van Manen, Wayne McGregor, Sir Kenneth McMillan, Agnes de Mille, Nacho Duato, Flemming Flindt, Roland Petit, Jerome Robbins, and Antony Tudor, among others. Tomasson's own works have been performed by New York City Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, Houston Ballet, Alberta Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, Ballet Estable del Teatro Colón, and Asami Maki Ballet. In Denmark, Tomasson's 1993 staging of The Sleeping Beauty was the most lavish production ever produced in the Royal Danish Ballet's history and was filmed for Danish public television in April 1995.
Under Tomasson's direction, SF Ballet has toured the world, receiving praise for its purity and verve. Engagements in China (2009), Copenhagen (1998, 2010), London (1999, 2001, 2004, 2012), Moscow (2012), New York City (1991, 1993, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2013), and Paris (1989, 1994, 2001, 2005, 2014) are among the highlights of the Company's history. For the Company's 2004 London engagement, SF Ballet won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award, its first, in the category of Outstanding Achievement in Dance. Of the tour, The Guardian (UK) noted, "As director of SF Ballet, Helgi Tomasson has started to acquire an aura of infallibility, his expertise in laying down repertory, and in balancing great evenings of dance, is held in envy by the rest of the profession."
Tomasson's vision, commitment, and dedication to the art of classical dance were demonstrated when he conceived UNited We Dance: An International Festival, produced in San Francisco in May 1995. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter, it included 12 international companies of the highest caliber that Tomasson had invited to present new works created by native choreographers. Never before had a dance event brought together over 150 artists for an unprecedented two weeks of creative exchange and inspiration. In spring 2008, as part of its yearlong 75th anniversary celebration, SF Ballet presented a New Works Festival of 10 world premieres by 10 of the dance world's most diverse and acclaimed choreographers. The festival was called "ambitious and unprecedented" by The Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle hailed it as a "daring onslaught of fresh work… this is what the ballet world needs now."
Tomasson's achievements have garnered him numerous awards and honors, and he has participated as a judge for ballet competitions in Italy, Russia, France, Finland, and Japan. During the 1970s in his homeland of Iceland, he was named a Knight of the Order of the Falcon for his achievements as a dancer. In 1989, he received Dance Bay Area's Isadora Duncan Award for his outstanding choreography of Swan Lake. In June 1990, Tomasson was named Commander of the Order of the Falcon by then-President of Iceland Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, for his continuous achievements in the arts. In recognition of his artistic excellence, Tomasson received the Golden Plate Award from the American Academy of Achievement in 1992. That same year, he received the Dance Magazine Award in recognition of his contributions to the dance world. In 1995, Tomasson joined the Artistic Advisory Board of The Ballet Theatre in Prague, directed by Jana Kurová. Also in 1995, Tomasson was honored with the Cultural Award of The American-Scandinavian Foundation. In 1996, he was presented with a Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, from Dominican College of San Rafael, in recognition of his value as a role model, his extraordinary career, and his community-service accomplishments. That same year, he was awarded the Isadora Duncan Special Award for UNited We Dance: An International Festival. In 2012, he was named recipient of the Dance/USA Honor, acknowledging individuals' contributions to dance in America and the role they play in the national dance community.
Currently, Tomasson serves on the Board of Directors of the School of American Ballet and the Artistic Committee for the New York Choreographic Institute, and has served as a member of the National Endowment for the Arts Dance Advisory Panel. In May 2001, Tomasson was granted the rank of Officier in the French Order of Arts and Letters, established in 1957 to recognize those who have contributed significantly to furthering the arts in France and throughout the world. Hugues Gall, then director of the Opéra National de Paris, presented the award in a ceremony attended by the President of Iceland Ólafur Ragnar Grimsson, following SF Ballet's triumphant opening at the Palais Garnier. In spring 2002, the Board of Trustees of New York's Juilliard School unanimously voted to bestow an honorary doctoral degree upon Tomasson, as one of five doctorates given annually in different artistic disciplines. In 2005, Tomasson was awarded the prestigious Lew Christensen Medal in honor of his 20th anniversary as artistic director of SF Ballet. In spring 2007, Tomasson won a sustained achievement award from the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards, also in recognition of his distinguished, ongoing tenure as artistic director. In May of the same year, during a tour to Iceland's Reykjavik Arts Festival, Grimsson awarded Tomasson the Grand Cross Star of the Order of the Falcon, the country's most prestigious honor. In 2008, he was awarded the Commonwealth Club of California's Distinguished Citizen Award. In January 2010, the Company's Opening Night Gala, Silver Celebration, honored Tomasson's remarkable achievements to date.
In addition to his role as artistic director and principal choreographer of the Company, Tomasson is the director of the San Francisco Ballet School. For Tomasson, the School is central to the life and development of the Company. Just as he expects the finest dancing and most meticulous attention to detail from his dancers, he demands the highest standards for training the students in the School.
Tomasson lives in San Francisco with his wife, Marlene, who was dancing with The Joffrey Ballet when they met. They have two sons, Erik and Kris.

Senate Democrats unveil government reform ideas
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Senate Democrats are unveiling a series of reform ideas that won't bank much money for the state's immediate budget problem, but which they say will save hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming years.
The lawmakers suggested nearly 50 ideas Thursday, but acknowledged that only a few are likely to be pursued during the 60-day legislative session that began Monday.
Those ideas include consolidating K-12 employee health insurance programs, which they estimated could save up to $90 million a year. They also want to strengthen the ability to identify fraud and abuse in the Medicaid system, which could save about $1.6 million for the next two-year budget that ends in 2017.

A funeral service for Guy Lawayne Newton, 62, of Clinton is planned for Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013, at 2 p.m. at the First Christian Church in Clinton, with Doyle Kinney and Dan Day officiating. Arrangements have been entrusted to Kiesau-Lee Funeral Home in Clinton.
Guy was born Dec. 29, 1950, to Dossie Edmon and Lydia Emma (Miller) Newton in Clinton. He grew up in Clinton and graduated from Clinton High School in 1969. He was the manager of the Gibson's Store in Clinton for more than seven years. During his employment with Gibson's, he met his future bride, the former Linda Cowles, and they were married on Feb. 6, 1970, in Clinton. They have made their home in Clinton, where Guy started a career in trucking, and owned and operated his own business.
Guy purchased H.T. Heffington Trucking Company and later worked for Rider Integrated Logistics, doing cross-country transporting. He was most recently employed with Francis Drilling Fluids Trucking. Guy was a member of the First Christian Church and was a 32nd-degree Mason and a Shriner. He loved fishing, hunting, bike-riding, and he had fun doing duck calls.
Guy was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Dossie.
Survivors include his wife, Linda, of the home; a daughter and son-in-law, Amanda and Tony Zarbano of Glenpool; his mother-in-law, Laverne Alexander of Elk City; his stepmother-in-law, Vallene Corbin of Hearst, Texas; a sister-in-law, Holly (Mrs. Dossie) Newton of Marlow; a brother-in-law, Dennis Cowles and his wife Elizabeth of Bay St. Louis, Miss.; nieces and nephews, Trey Newton of Weatherford, Natalie Davis and her husband Matt of Marlow, Brittany Maxwell and her husband Alan of San Antonio, Texas, Dana Brown and her husband Jason, and Derrick Kimmel, all of Bay St. Louis; and two great-nephews, Cameron and Carson Brown.
The family has recommended that memorial contributions be directed to the First Christian Church in Clinton.

His last team GMd wasn't exactly a Top 5 team. He got Getzlaf and Perry because his team was mediocre.

Burke and Bob Murray rebuilt the entire defense, 90% of the forward corps and brought in a new coach in Randy Carlyle. But ok, that was Murray's roster in 2007. Mmmhmm.

Certainly, the roster we have here is Murray's, but it should be noted we have no idea how it will perform in the post-season, the goal of any team being to win the Stanley Cup. Is Jason Spezza a leader? Not really. He's never led anyone to a Cup. Is Erik Karlsson a winner? We'll see. He sure does like hitting the pubs though. Mmmhmmm.

Murray will be back, whatever.
He's local, he tells good jokes, he's got 30 years experience.

Whoop dee doo.

I'd rather have flushed him last year and gone tooth and nail after Yzerman. The mentality shift in Tampa has been astounding. They've gone from being a rudderless, leaderless franchise to having function, a plan, accountability, direction and winning.

Accountability...funny word that. A word uttered a whole lot in these parts but not held to task to the GM for his decisions.

But hey, it's never been about success or winning in Ottawa the past few years, has it?

The 2003-04 Ducks had Sergei Federov as their centrepiece. Murray signed him to a 5 year $40M deal. They didn't even make the playoffs.

Brian Burke came in and got rid of Federov, in exchange for Todd Marchant and Beauchemin. He then brought Selanne back to Anaheim. He also added Niedermayer and Pronger.

So basically, Burke adds three Hall of Famers to the roster, and gets rid of a highly paid underachiever who many thought had an untradeable contract.

The top three D were Burke additions. The leading goal scorer was a Burke addition. You add those pieces to any team in the league, and they become firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-9548629487961119892011-03-25T14:24:22.826-04:002011-03-25T14:24:22.826-04:00Great article... and I also think a relatively fai...Great article... and I also think a relatively fair assessment.

The other thing to think about is that the Cup run was, of course, coached by Murray. It would be difficult to blow up a team that not only made it to the Finals the year before, but that you as the ex-coach know the potential of. The biggest challenge of coaching is typically motivating the players to perform, and I think Murray - just because of experience - has more ways to do so than a young coach. And that is most important with the veteran players who have "heard it all before" and are more likely to stop listening. I think the coach-carousel of the past 4 years attests to that. Meanwhile, bring up a bunch of young players, and a coach like Clouston can have some success because they are hungrier, and will buy-in faster.

Fact is that Murray is a good GM - his fingerprints all over the Ducks team that beat the Sens in 06/07 attests to that. I think this re-tooling is going to be very interesting to watch, whether with Murray at the helm, or in an advisory role as many have predicted he will firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-6981868493462167712011-03-25T02:31:26.881-04:002011-03-25T02:31:26.881-04:00Let's give it the proper context.

That said, the regime that ran the draft under Muckler and Marshall Johnson did a great job at the draft. Remember we were picking in the mid to high twenties.

Not too many players from 2004 have played more games than Meszaros. Havlat was another late first round home run. Gleason was another good one.

Why would you take them out? Wins are wins. Would you count those 11 wins if they were interspersed with some losses?

Same with the losses. You'd think they'd win one just out of shit luck but the fact is that they were playing really, really poorly at the time. And it's not just Elliott. He was still giving up soft goals during the win streak, just not as many while getting better scoring support.

"The Plan" is the Caramilk secret. They'll be handing out Caramilk bars at the concessions next year, in order to boost attendance.

But seriously, I don't think that the criticism of Bryan Murray has disappeared. I think that it's more like that fatigue has set in. It's a tiring to be negative all the time.

The young kids have given this team a nice "sugar high". You commented yourself that it's nice to see young guys crack the lineup for the first time.

Let's not kid ourselves, major issues still need to be resolved. People will be angry again after they see some really good hockey during the playoffs.

One interesting way to look at things, is that we had an 11 game losing streak this year. Last year we had an 11 game winning streak.

If take out both those streaks, we were basically the same team in both years. The difference was, in large part, that last year Brian Elliott went on a tear where he had a .930 save percentage during the streak.

Another point of major concern is goal scoring. The Sens were perennially one of the highest scoring teams in the league. Everyone remembers the powerhouse teams of 2005-06 and 2006-07.

But, in 2003-04, during ultra-conservative Jacques Martin's last year as coach, we were the highest scoring team in the league. This is the Jacques Martin that preached defensive responsibility.

Now we have one of the second worse offense in the league. New Jersey is worst.

As for the new guys, I think that it's important to mention that many of them were drafted while Muckler was GM. Greening, Condra, Wick, Gryba, Regin, O'Brien ...

Not that it matters. A Sen is a Sen. I don't care who drafted them. Kudos goes to Murray for allowing them to develop properly.

That's another thing that jumps right out at me. Many of these young guys were drafted in later rounds. But, they were given lots of time to develop. They weren't rushed. They didn't expect to be "the future".

They were developed in low pressure environments. I think that's paying dividends now. The pipeline was not bare.

The thing that I fear with Lehner, Cowen, Wiercoch, and even Rundblad, is that they think that they are the future. And, they haven't proven anything yet.

Will their development be hurt if they don't meet the high expectations placed on them by the fans and the organization? They have already been built up so much. Let's hope not, because they all seem to have a lot of natural email@example.com

Indirect Investors in Ponzi Schemes Might Get a Break
John D. McKinnon reports on tax policy.
People who were defrauded by swindlers such as Bernard Madoff appear likely to get more tax relief from Congress.
Prospects were brightening for a tax-law change to allow victims who invested indirectly in Ponzi schemes through advisers or feeder funds to get bigger tax refunds for their theft losses. The change would allow victims to carry back their theft losses for up to five years instead of the current three years. The change is being pushed by Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.), among others.
The change seeks to address a major gap in current efforts to extend relief to Ponzi scheme victims. The Internal Revenue Service announced unprecedented tax relief for victims in March. But experts said it was doubtful that indirect victims would be able to benefit in many cases.
"The fact that Bernie Madoff swindled so many investors is outrageous, but the fact that so many of the smaller investors, who may not have even known they were investing with Madoff, are not receiving the same assistance as direct investors is simply unfair," Schumer said in a statement. "This proposal, once approved, will finally bring smaller investors, many of whom lost everything, on par with direct investors in terms of receiving relief."
Officials of the Securities Investor Protection Corp. said this week that about $4.4 billion in claims have been allowed in the Madoff case. The SIPC has advanced more than $500 million to more than 2,800 direct victims already – an amount that exceeds the total of all its previous cases since its creation in 1970.
Indirect victims generally aren't eligible for SIPC recoveries, however.
The tax measure is likely to be added to a bill extending unemployment benefits during the economic downturn. The legislation is currently moving through the Senate and is expected to become law soon. Schumer's office said the measure had gained support from key Senate leaders and was likely to be added to the bill on Wednesday.
The IRS said in March that Ponzi victims wouldn't be subject to normal limits that apply to personal casualty or theft losses, and could carry back their losses for five years to offset taxes paid, or forward 20 years. Under previous rules, many investors had to subtract $100 and 10% of their adjusted gross income from their loss deductions, and could carry back losses only three years, or forward 20 years.
But it was unclear whether that relief would be available to indirect victims.
The IRS also said investors can include their principal, as well as any so-called phantom income they have received over the years, in their theft-loss deductions. Previously, the IRS allowed some Ponzi scheme victims to deduct only their principal as a theft loss, not phantom income.

BOE's Posen: U.K. Unemployment to Rise as Unproductive Sectors Shed Jobs
Unemployment in the U.K. is likely to rise over the next couple of years as unproductive sectors of the economy shed jobs, Bank of England policy maker Adam Posen said Monday.
Posen said in a speech at Nottingham Business School that weak productivity growth in the U.K., which has puzzled policy makers on the BOE's rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee, may be explained by labor hoarding in certain sections of the economy. A forthcoming paper by BOE staff will explain this phenomenon in more detail, he said.
Posen said productivity growth in many parts of the economy has recovered to its prerecession trend, but some sectors, which he dubbed "dawdlers," have held on to workers even as output has plunged, leading to a sharp fall in U.K. productivity overall. Those sectors include finance and insurance, academia, and transport.
"If market discipline hits the dawdlers, then most of the productivity puzzle goes away. It seems to me reasonable that's what's going to happen," Posen said. He added a "shakeout" of jobs in unproductive sectors seems likely, which will push up unemployment in the short term but aid the economy in the long term as labor and capital shift toward more productive industries.
Posen said there is little evidence the U.K. economy's productive potential has been permanently damaged by the financial crisis, as some economists fear. He said there is no reason the economy can't get back on its long-term growth trend. Reallocating labor and capital away from dawdler sectors would aid that process, he said.
The U.K. economy is laboring under government efforts to cut spending, weak consumer confidence and poor demand for U.K. exports. Economists expect the BOE to add to its 275-billion-pound stimulus program when its policy makers meet in February.
Posen told reporters following his speech that the U.K.'s economic prospects have improved a little since the central bank revived its stimulus program in October, due to signs of life in the global economy and efforts by the European Central Bank to support Europe's troubled lenders.
The BOE expects inflation in the U.K. to slow sharply this year and believes it likely it will finish 2012 below its 2% target. Posen said he doesn't think the economy's prospects have improved so much to change that forecast significantly, suggesting he might favor another dose of stimulus to support demand and ensure the target is met.
