iantt liked a post in a topic: Engine Malfunction / Turbo Fault
Robbiejc843 replied to foleyb121's topic in Ford S-Max ClubIf it's a Variable Vane Turbo then the vanes could have stuck. The vanes maybe the terrible ones that look like they are made of tinfoil. Does it go straight into limp mode? Do you have any power at any time before limp mode? I would look at the turbo 1st.

Robbiejc843 replied to sangwic's topic in Technical KnowledgeI think the problem with the turbo is the variable vane. Basically it's build quality is rubbish and if it gets clogged up it will affect the performance and can also wreck the turbo if one of the vanes dislodge. A place up near Fleetwood, Turbo Rebuilds, have manufactured an uprated variable vane ring. Costs about £80 and is simple to fit.

Robbiejc843 replied to Robbiejc843's topic in Technical KnowledgeMy bad, pressed the wrong button! I'm thinking of fitting a later 2nd hand engine into my focus cmax and was wondering what pitfalls I would come up against? I have seen one and it is a 1.6tdci AV6Q 6007 BB with a six speed box. It is a complete unit with all these bits, Air con pump, Alternator, Cat DPF, Turbo manifold, Throttle bodies, air flow sensor, engine mounts, fuel pump, injectors, ECU, Engine wiring loom, Starter motor, Down pipe, Turbo, Engine cover, Sump, 6 Speed gearbox. It also comes with the gear cables and gear stick.
Robbiejc843 posted a topic in Technical KnowledgeFocus C max
Will think about that
Don't know how I've done it, but I've just refitted the Turbo (Took about an hour, so watch out for garage labour fees) left it to idle for about 20 mins, took it for a lesuirely drive and could feel the turbo kicking in at about 2000 rpm. So then I took it down the dual carriageway and it performed well. The time taken to remove and refit the turbo would have taken me 3 hrs max and that is with basic tools. If you can do it yourself then do it, It has only cost me about £160 for a new cartridge and enhanced variable nozzle ring. If you've got the 753420 garrett turbo and need to replace the variable nozzle ring go for and enhanced one and not the !Removed! thing that destroyed my turbine when it got slightly coked up. After seeing the amount of crap the engine produces I shall be going and getting it Terracleaned. I had this done on my old Fiesta 1.4 TDCi and it worked a treat. If anyone has other thing to mention regarding this post the please post a reply to keep the knowledge going.
Robbiejc843 posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubI have just replaced the Turbo cartridge and vane assy on my 2005 1.6 TDCi. The vanes had clogged up and a couple decided to let go and destroy the turbine. After replacing I still have no power when accelerating. When I got back I checked that the vacuum was applied to the turbo, which it was indicated by the vane lever/actuator in the down position, however when I got someone to increase the revs past 2000 there was no movement on the actuator. I have removed the turbo and checked that the actuator and vanes were not sticking. The actuator and vanes moved freely. I have also cleared the fault codes in the PCM, some relating to Turbo underboost during acceleration. Do I need to check the Turbo boost solenoid valve? If so how do I do that. Do I need to check any more hoses, as the only thing that was disconnected during the turbo removal/fit was the vacuum hose to the actuator? Any Help on this matter would be greatly apprieciated.

Consider the periodic signal s(t) shown in the figure above. Write a Matlab code to evaluate s(t) and s_e(n = k) for any k = 1, ?, ?. The code prompts the user to enter a specific value for k. The code should plot the original s(t) and also the s_e(n = k) for some k?s on the same plot, The code should be general and takes the values of T, A, and k as inputs.
Using the expressions for the total power of s(t) and power of s_e(n = k), the code should print out the total power of s(t) as computed from the original expression of s(t), the total power as computed from the developed s_e(n=k), and the percentage of the latter relative to the former quantity. You should observe that the percentage approaches 100% as k increases.
Hint: first compute the Fourier series expansion and power spectral density function (PSD(f)).

Erie Humane Society: bring animals inside
The Humane Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania is reminding people to bring animals indoors as the wind chill pushes temperatures below zero.
"Common sense," said Merle Wolfgang, the chief investigative officer for the cruelty division of the local Humane Society. "If you have any outdoor animals and you're able to bring them inside during this extreme cold, please do."
All animals living outdoors are required by Pennsylvania law to have access to adequate shelter protecting them from the elements to keep them warm and dry. Shelter for livestock can be a lean-to or access to a barn, Wolfgang said.
Dogs should have shelter that includes four sides, a roof, a floor and a door.
"Put a flap on the door," Wolfgang said. "It helps contain the body heat and keeps the wind and the rain and the snow out."
Using blankets as bedding in a doghouse is a bad idea; they freeze if they get wet. Instead, use faster-drying straw, hay or wood or cedar chips, Wolfgang said.
And don't forget water. Pet stores sell heated dishes, or you can set several bowls of warm water out in the morning.
Consuming snow will just lower an animal's core body temperature, Wolfgang said.
"Geriatric and very young puppies and kittens, the sick and injured, they're very susceptible to death in this low of a temperature," she said. "Those need to come inside first."
If you suspect animal abuse or neglect, call the cruelty department of the Humane Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania at 835-8360. Leave your name, phone number and the address of where you suspect a violation has occurred.
ERICA ERWIN can be reached at 870-1846 or by e-mail. Follow her on Twitter at twitter.com/ETNerwin.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Although Israel expects to receive only the remains of kidnapped Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser in exchange for five living Lebanese prisoners and the remains of some 200 Lebanese and Palestinians terrorists buried in Israel, preparations for Wednesday's exchange are underway.
Samir Kuntar, serving four consecutive life sentences for the brutal murders of a father, his four-year-old daughter and an Israeli policeman in 1979, is the most well known of the Lebanese prisoners being released.
Hezbollah dubbed the exchange "Radwan Operation," after arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, known in the street as Hajj Radwan, who was killed last February in Damascus by a bomb rigged in his car.
Hezbollah blamed Israel for the assassination.
Meanwhile, preparations are underway in Lebanon to welcome Kuntar and the four other prisoners, who will be flown by a Lebanese army helicopter to Beirut, where they will be welcomed home in an official state ceremony.
Following the ceremony, Hezbollah spiritual leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah will speak at a mass rally in the city.

Although the offseason doesn't officially begin until March (assuming there is a new CBA and no lockout), the Miami Dolphins' 2010 season concluded over a week ago and the team is now looking toward the new year.
To that end, I thought now would be a good time to take a look at all of the Dolphins with expiring contracts this offseason, explaining their different free agent statuses as well as discussing the ones that could potentially be retained.
Keep in mind that this article is assuming a new CBA is worked out and that the old free agency levels will be in place. As things were in 2010 due to the lack of a CBA, players had to wait six years before they hit unrestricted free agency. Under the pre-2010 system (and potentially this offseason) it broke down like this:
- Exclusive-Rights Free Agent—Zero to two years of NFL service. If tendered a contract offer by their old club, ERFAs have no choice but to re-sign and play for that team, or not play football at all.
- Restricted Free Agent—Three years of NFL service. RFAs are tendered contract offers at one of four different salary levels. Each level corresponds to a draft pick compensation amount for the old club if the player signs with a new team. Players can either re-sign with their old club or sign an offer sheet with a new team. The old club has seven days to match the offer from the new club and retain the player.
- Unrestricted Free Agent—Four or more years of NFL service. Players are free to sign with another club once the free agent signing period begins. Old clubs receive no compensation if a player signs elsewhere. Old clubs do have the option to place the franchise tag or transition tag on a player before their contract expires in the offseason.
In this instance, "NFL service" is defined as six games or more in a season in which a player was on a full-play level, i.e. active roster, injured reserve, or the PUP list. Players on the practice squad, non-football injury list, etc. do not count.
Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, here are the Miami Dolphins' free agents for the 2011 offseason...

Life as a Dad: 4 Jobs We All Share

This is great because I love playing with lego, and Little A likes to smash things. Its win, win. But after a while, my basic tower design were not enough. She demanded more elaborate towers. Her appetite for bigger and better towers turned into a battle against myself to constant approve and innovate until we reached the structural limits of lego as...Read More

There was no happy, go lucky two and a half year old voice on the other side of the phone like usual. All I could hear was whimpering and the odd sniffle. Then between the sniffling a little voice peaked out. "I miss you dad, please come home." Instant my heart sank. It was the first time Little A was truly sad. She wasn't crying because someone took her toy, or that she didn't want...Read More

Import prices rise again in November
December 10, 1999
The U.S. Import Price Index increased 0.5 percent in November. The increase—the fifth in a row—was the same as in October.
[Chart data—TXT]
Import prices were up 4.2 percent since June and 5.5 percent over the past 12 months. The recent gains were in marked contrast to the 6.5 percent decline recorded during the November 1997-98 period.
The petroleum index, which has increased nine consecutive months, continued to lead the upswing for overall imports. In November, petroleum prices rose 1.9 percent and were at their highest level since January 1997. Over the past 12 months, the petroleum index has almost doubled, gaining 95.2 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS International Price program. Learn more in "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes - November 1999," news release USDL 99-349. Note: import price data are subject to revision in each of the three months after original publication.

Preview: Sabathia Will Start vs. Jays
While the New York Yankees survived without their staff ace for three weeks, it seems unlikely the Toronto Blue Jays can make a playoff push should their best slugger end up on the disabled list.
The Yankees will activate CC Sabathia from the disabled list and he'll take the ball Tuesday night looking to continue his dominance over a Blue Jays team that will be without Jose Bautista.
Sabathia (9-3, 3.45 ERA) hasn't pitched since facing the New York Mets on June 24, going on the DL a few days later with a strained groin. His first trip to the DL since 2006 was tough to take for the six-time All-Star known for his durability.
"You feel like you're not contributing and helping the team," said Sabathia, who has thrown at least 230 innings in each of the last five seasons and is second in the majors with an average of 111.6 pitches per game. "For me it's a little embarrassing."
The Yankees (55-34) did just fine in his absence, winning 12 of 18 and extending their AL East lead over second-place Baltimore from 2 1/2 games to nine. They won Monday's opener 6-3 on Raul Ibanez's tiebreaking grand slam with two outs in the eighth inning.
Sabathia missed two scheduled starts while sidelined but kept his same between-start throwing routine. He said the pain in his groin has been nonexistent since a bullpen session June 26, and the time away might help his arm endurance down the stretch.

/// USPTO Invalidates Key Apple Multitouch Patent — For Now
December 7, 2012 | All Things Digital
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which tentatively invalidated Apple's rubber-banding patent back in October, has taken a similarly dim view of another of the company's marquee multitouch patents — one that Samsung was found to infringe . Earlier this week, the USPTO tentatively declared invalid U.S. Patent No. 7,479,949 — the so-called "Steve Jobs patent" — rejecting all 20 of its claims. The USPTO's decision is not final; this is just a preliminary ruling. Still, it's clearly unwelcome news for Apple.

Nightclubs, dirty cops, drugs and leaks: the inside story
When Victorian drug investigators raided the city nightclub Two Floors Up in early April, they were expecting to find thousands of ecstasy tablets, methamphetamine and cash.
John Silvester is a Walkley-award winning crime writer and columnist. A co-author of the best-selling books that formed the basis of the hit Australian TV series Underbelly, Silvester is also a regular guest on 3AW with his "Sly of the Underworld" segment.
When Victorian drug investigators raided the city nightclub Two Floors Up in early April, they were expecting to find thousands of ecstasy tablets, methamphetamine and cash.
In a big country town cops tend to stick together. They share rented homes, support local sports clubs and drink in the same pubs. They share tragedies and triumphs and in the good districts newbies benefit from the experience of the station elders.
Fleeing suspects who ram occupied police cars or police on foot should be charged with attempted murder, Police Association Secretary Ron Iddles says.
Sadly the true crime shelves in most bookshops are inhabited by paperbacks of dubious quality containing cliche-ridden chapters on reheated topics. I should know as I have written many of them.
How do you tell grieving parents they will never find justice and there will be no last minute miracles? How do you tell the honest and the decent that life is unfair, that logic doesn't always work and prayers can go unanswered?
Is there a more polarising figure in Australia than Cardinal George Pell?
And so the angry, the nasty, the easily manipulated and the stupid head to foreign suburbs looking for what they think they have been denied.
Peter Bellion has saved the lives of hundreds he has never met and observed the death of thousands he couldn't help. Perhaps that is why he fought the signs the job he loved was eating him alive.
For a time the elite Purana Gangland Taskforce had its own office pet - a mature-age yabby found in a Castlemaine dam and kept in a 25-litre glass receptacle previously used to produce amphetamines.
Just a few weeks ago, a group of not-so-sharp African lads armed with blunt weapons pulled over an Italian fellow in a German car. This proved to be a strategic blunder as the gent, one of Melbourne's biggest Mafia figures, responded not with the keys but with a handgun secreted on his person.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I liked this book! First, the non-fiction text features are engaging, and helpful to readers. For example, the illustrator included a map of Alaska that included the names of the cities Balto had visited. Second, I liked the plot. The plot was engaging because it was a true story and allowed readers to really connect with Balto. For example, the author starts with, "This is a true story about a very brave dog." The main message of this story is to work hard, and never give up.

This book is based on the true story of Balto, who was a snow dog in Nome, Alaska. He helped bring medicine to the town of sick people in a huge storm. It's written in an understandable text

Standiford, Natalie The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto. Illust. by Donald Cook. Random House, 1989. 48p. Primary/Intermediate
This is a true story about a brave dog named Balto and his owner Gunnar. In 1925, two children in Nome were stricken with diphtheria. They needed medicine but the train bringing it from Anchorage got stuck in the snow 700 miles away. A dog-team relay was set up with each team and driver taking a leg. Balto and Gunnar ended up running 53 miles to Nome because the team that was to replace them didn't show up. The children and town were saved! Soft-muted pencil drawings accompany the easy-to-read narration. The theme of this heartwarming tale is bravery.
AK: Sled dogs, Nome
Activity: Ask children what they liked about the story.
This book has earned its way into being called a classic of children's early readers. Still in print after more than twenty years, it's a story that will never age. Briefly telling the true story of a sled dog relay that travelled from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska to save the people of Nome from an outbreak of diphtheria in 1925. The story plays on the emotions by focusing on a family with two sick children and then telling the story of Balto, the lead dog of the last team which made heroic strides through a blizzard to go further than any other team to make to Nome just in time to save lives. An exciting story with cute illustrations of the dogs showing them with a slight puppy look that is sure to delight dog lovers and impress readers with the fact that this really happened. I have an old original copy of the book which is labeled Step 2, however the book now is published as part of the Step 3 line.

BURLINGTON, N.J. — The Dossier Users Group, which represents users of Arsenault Associates' Dossier maintenance management software, elected new leadership at its 22nd annual meeting last month in Tucson, Ariz.
The new group chairman is Charlie Priscu of New York Container Terminal. The new treasurer is Greg Walsh of New World Van Lines. Andrea Harper of Arsenault Associates remains the group's secretary.
Priscu is manager of power equipment for New York Container Terminal, a full service, high volume container and cargo facility in New York Harbor. Priscu's fleet of 330 vehicles includes 89 yard switchers, 42 container handlers, 100 forklifts, 30 pickup trucks, two school buses (for moving crews) and a 2,000 horsepower diesel-electric rail locomotive.
"Dossier software has been indispensable in improving efficiency and controlling costs at our facilities," Priscu said. "For me, the Dossier Users Group has been an informative and productive experience. I'm pleased to be elected chairman."
The group's new treasurer, Greg Walsh, is director of maintenance for New World Van Lines, an executive relocation specialist that operates approximately 250 power units and 400 trailers across North America.
Dossier Users Group Secretary Andrea Harper is controller for Arsenault Associates.
At the Tucson meeting, the group also elected a new slate of at-large board members. It includes:
• Chris Hubbard of Republic Services Inc., a waste hauling company
• Holly Griffrow-Bos of East Central Energy, an electric service provider
• Debbie Whitley of Paul Musslewhite Trucking, an oil field transportation provider
• Jim Cunningham of construction equipment company CVC Equipment.
• Bob Nolen of Hagey Coach Inc., an operator of school buses and touring coaches
• Jeremiah Cordovano of Kinder Morgan Terminals, a petroleum product terminal operator
• John Sykes of the Regional Water Authority, which serves New Haven, Conn.
"The Dossier Users Group has been an excellent resource for our developers," said Jack Boetefuer, president of Arsenault Associates. "Dossier users from a broad spectrum of working fleets operating under a wide variety of conditions have kept us focused on meeting very real fleet management challenges. We listen very closely to users and make sure that Dossier addresses their concerns."

BEREA — Despite the perception the Browns still need help at wide receiver, Pat Shurmur still is optimistic about the players currently on the roster.
"I think we have some guys, number one that are good players and I think they've had a chance to play a year in the system and to improve their game," Shurmur said. "We've added some young players who have a chance to develop into good players."
Shurmur feels improved quarterback play--likely by Brandon Weeden and running game led by Trent Richardson--will make a big difference for the receivers.
"When you have more efficient quarterback play and efficient running game, it all plays together," Shurmur said. "For all of those reasons, I think they will be more productive as it fits together."
Browns fans clamored for additions to the receiving corps in 2011 and the only notable addition was second-round draft choice Greg Little, who responded with 61 receptions for 709 yards and two touchdowns. Little has shed 11 pounds and the Browns are hoping he becomes a top receiver in the league.
Much the same was said this off-season, in terms of needing receivers, but the Browns thus far have failed to land a veteran receiver through free agency and the most notable addition was fourth-round draft choice Travis Benjamin from Miami (Fla.). Reports said the Browns pursued at least two free agents including Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan, both of whom signed with the Redskins.
Mike Holmgren mentioned high expectations for fourth-year receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and Shurmur was asked about him, as well.
"I think he's had a great off season," Shurmur said. "I'm very pleased with where he is. He's come in healthy. He's taken advantage of the off-season and he's made plays out here. That's money in the bank for him as he gets ready for training camp."
Massaquoi had just 31 catches for 384 yards and two touchdowns in 2011 in 14 games. He had 34 receptions for 624 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie and 36 catches for 483 yards and two touchdowns in 2010. He also was knocked out of a game with a concussion by the Steelers' James Harrison. He also missed two games in 2011 with a concussion.
Weeden said he's impressed with Massaquoi.
"We're getting our timing down," Weeden said. "I love the way he runs the comeback route."
Shurmur said during OTAs last month that Little and Massaquoi are the starting receivers at this point heading into training camp.
Maasaquoi is healthy now and Josh Cribbs had his best season as a receiver with 41 receptions for 518 yards and four touchdowns. Jordan Norwood had 23 receptions for 268 yards and a touchdown and Carlton Mitchell caught just three passes for 31 yards.
Benjamin has flashed his speed in the OTAs and mini camps, but his role has yet to be determined. Other candidates are undrafted free agents Owen Spencer, Bert Reed, Jermaine Saffold and Josh Cooper. Rod Windsor was on the practice squad last season.
Weeden said he likes the receivers.
"I wasn't here last year, but from what I see the group has a lot of ability and can play," he said. "And not just the wide receivers, but we have a good group at the tight end position. That makes it easier for the quarterback.
"The group is still young and are going to keep growing and building."
Shurmur feels the Browns have a chance for the quarterbacks and receivers to make each other better this season.
"The receivers have to get open and the quarterback has to get them the ball," he said. "I do know with a receiver who gets open and a quarterback who gets the ball to him accurately, now you have a chance to do something with the ball."
Dawson Back: K Phil Dawson was at minicamp after skipping the OTAs and booming kicks. He attempted one from 70 yards and was just short.
"Being away (this off-season) re-energized me," he said.
Dawson was franchised for the second-straight year, but did say he hopes to finish his career with the Browns.
"Those are my thoughts exactly," he said. "I'd like to finish my career here.
"There's a right time and place for everything."
Dawson said he figures it would take him about 2 ½ seasons to break Lou Groza's career scoring record.
"That's a goal I set in 1999."
Room for All: Shurmur said he is not concerned that the running back position is too crowded with RB Trent Richardson, RB Brandon Jackson and RB Montario Hardesty. Also, RB Chris Ogbonnaya and RB Adonis Thomas are in the mix.
"There's plenty of reps for everything we need to see," he said. "They'll all play and I'm not concerned about them getting reps."
Shurmur was asked specifically about Jackson and Hardesty, both coming off of injuries.
"They've looked good," he said. "They're running around and they look fast."
Mini Camp and OTAs: Tuesday was the first day of the three-day mandatory minicamp. Shurmur was asked what the difference was between the two.
"The way you practice is the same," he said. "The only difference is we have a walk through before we practice."
Shurmur said that all the players were in attendance, including K Phil Dawson, who had skipped the OTAs.
"Everybody is here and everyone is competing," he said. "It's a good setting for our guys. We've had six OTAs and we'll revisit all the things we've done in the OTAs."
Shurmur re-iterated not to read much into who gets the first snaps in team drills.
"I would encourage you when you're watching--I know you want to get it out there--as to who the first guys are out there, but they're just out there working."
The Adonis: RB Adonis Thomas from Toledo was signed after trying out at the rookie minicamp and Shurmur was asked about him.
"He was here on a workout basis and felt good about what he did and since then he's done the same thing," Shurmur said. "He's caught the ball well when we've thrown him the ball. He's a bright guy who has a chance to compete."
The Browns released RB Armond Smith to make room for Thomas.
Fujita Being Counted On: Shurmur said that despite the outcome of the three-game suspension for his role in the Saints Bounty Scandal, he is still a key player for the Browns.
"My interaction with Scott has been good," Shurmur said. "I think we all as people have distractions in the background. Scott is a veteran player on our team and he's an outstanding player. He's dealing with a league issue and when Scott is back, he'll play."
Fujita said he was disappointed the arbitrator ruled that Roger Goodell had the authority to suspend him and the other players.
"It's certainly disappointing, but it's part of the process," he said. "It's ongoing."
Fujita says he has no regrets for any of his actions.
Coming Along: Shurmur said the Browns are seeing what they expected out of rookie QB Brandon Weeden.
"I think we would all agree there is a high bar in this league," he said. "What's good about having an offseason when you draft a quarterback, but it allows you to get familiar with your surroundings. We're seeing what we saw before we drafted him and in what we ask of him."
Weeden said he is progressing.
"I'm getting more and more comfortable," he said. "I'm leap years farther along than the rookie minicamp. It's like two totally different quarterbacks from the beginning. Now, I'm able to stop thinking and react."
New Role: With Brad Childress taking the burden of being the offensive coordinator off of Shurmur, the head coach now has more flexibility at practice.
"I think I have the freedom to do more, but tend to watch certain things," Shurmur said. "Brad does a very good job directing the offensive coaches and players and does a very god job. Brad is very important for us."
Return of T.J.: Shurmur said that S T.J. Ward is back to near the level he was when he was injured last season with a foot sprain. He missed the final eight games of the season and ended up on injured reserve.
"He's looking good," Shurmur said. "He's running around playing fast and is playing like he did before he was injured. He's back healthy."
Shurmur said he thinks Ward can be a leader on the defense, despite just entering his third year.
"I still look at him as a young player," he said. "We expect the young players to exert themselves and typically, you are more of a leader when they know what they're doing."
Benard Impresses: Shurmur said that DE Marcus Benard has shown up in the early going. He has dropped weight from last season and is listed at 256 pounds.
"That's the first phase and he's shown up and done some good things," Shurmur said. "He's put himself in good position for training camp."
If Benard can add a significant pass rush opposite DE Jabaal Sheard or DE Frostee Rucker, the Browns will have much more depth than they did a year ago.

Flames World Junior Primer
Ryan Pike
December 18 2012 11:01AM
The 2013 edition of the IIHF World Junior (U-20) Championship begins on December 26, but there is a lot of hockey to watch this week as teams prepare for the tournament. To provide a handy checklist for hockey-starved Flames fans, here is a quick-and-dirty primer for the games that are coming up.
Lock-out Talks: Where are we Now?
Kent Wilson
December 18 2012 09:09AM
Another day, another round of lock-out links and negotiation items. The World Junoir championships will soon arrive and with them some relief from the hockey-less-ness and legal navel gazing that has plagued us since October. For now, though, let's concentrate on the on-going rich man slap fight.
Flames Prospects NHLE - December 17th, 2012

It has been about a month since we looked at the NHL equivalencies of Flames kids and with Ryan giving us a more qualitative run down of their progress below, it seems like as good a time as any to see how their scoring is coming along.
We'll start with the guys up front
Catching up with Flames prospects
Ryan Pike
December 17 2012 10:17AM
We're into the holiday season, which means that junior kids are off to World Junior camps, that college schedules are sparse to allow for final exams, and various European club teams are off to allow for holiday tournaments.
What better time to assess how the various Flames prospects are doing this year?
Best of the Nation - 12.16.12
Jonathan Willis
December 16 2012 11:23AM
The lockout keeps rolling on, but that doesn't mean we lacked for quality content this week. We had another entry in our "Worst to First" jerseys series, talked about the frightening salary cap situation for a bunch of teams, looked at how forward usage by NHL coaches has evolved over the last few seasons, talked about the World Juniors and buyouts, the lockout and the league's very best prospect, as well as half a dozen things I'm not even mentioning.
More after the jump!

The Spencer football team stunned the state and Bishop Heelan when they went to Sioux City in the regular season finale and beat the undefeated and No. 2-ranked Crusaders, 21-14, on Friday, Oct. 19. Spencer intercepted Heelan QB Trenton Solsma five times (he previously had thrown four all season) and forced a game-ending fumble to seal the win. The Tigers would go on to roll over ADM in the first round of the playoffs before giving Heelan another challenge less than two weeks later. Bishop Heelan made it to the 3A championship game but was beaten by Decorah.

Spencer went into Sioux City to face undefeated and second-ranked Bishop Heelan with nothing to lose. Already assured a spot in the playoffs, the Tigers set out to compete with a perennial powerhouse Friday, Oct. 19 at Memorial Field.
Not only did they compete with the Crusaders toe-to-toe, Spencer handed Heelan its first loss of the season by intercepting quarterback Trent Solsma five times in a 21-14 win.
The victory in the regular season finale puts Spencer at 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the district, which is third after a Carroll loss Friday night to Le Mars.
"It feels great," Spencer coach Jim Tighe said. "They're the elite program in northwest Iowa, and one of the best in the state. I'm proud of the way we came out and competed. It's always a feather in your cap when you can beat them. It's a big win for us but we know it's not all we want to do."
The playoffs start Wednesday night, Oct. 24, and Spencer will face ADM of Adel (6-3), the second-place team in 3A District 1, on the road. The winner of that game will play the winner of Heelan/Creston on Oct. 29.
The game didn't start out great for Spencer as they fumbled on the first play of the game, giving Heelan the ball in prime position. However, on Heelan's third play, Cody Mowery intercepted Solsma at the Spencer 14-yard-line to neutralize the Tiger miscue.
Spencer took advantage of the turnover, driving 86 yards to pay dirt, capped by a Blake Altenhofen 10-yard run and a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Austin Lauck busted a 44-yard run to spark the drive and move the Tigers into Heelan territory.
Heelan would have a 60-yard kickoff return called back due to a hold, but moved the ball down the field behind running back Manny Alcaraz on its next possession. On the drive's 10th play, Solsma would be intercepted for the second time, this time by Malik Rasch, who returned it 20 yards.
Spencer didn't do anything with the ball and punted it back to Heelan. The Crusaders moved into field goal position but missed on a 45-yard attempt, which Spencer allowed Heelan to down at the 1-yard-line.
The ensuing drive resulted in the most impressive offensive sequence of the night by the Tigers, as they drove the length of the field (99 yards) while eating up nearly six minutes of clock. Spencer converted a 3rd-and-11 in its own territory with a half-back pass from Altenhofen to Mowery to extend the drive. They finished it off with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Matt Finnern to Hunter Cushman slanting across the middle for a catch-and-run, which put the Tigers up 14-0.
Heelan answered the call with a no-huddle drive that saw Solsma go 8-for-10 passing as the Crusaders were able to get on the scoreboard with 15 seconds left in the half for a 14-7 halftime score.
Once again the Spencer defense held, forcing a punt that would lead to the Tigers' next scoring drive. Set up by a 32-yard run by Altenhofen, Finnern would keep the ball and score on a 15-yard touchdown run for the 21-7 lead just seconds into the fourth quarter.
Both Finnern and Lauck went over 100 yards in the game, with Altenhofen gaining over 50.
"We executed really well," Tighe said. "We put a lot in Finnern's hands with making calls at the line. He's such a smart player; it's like having another coach on the field. A lot of guys played their guts out tonight."
Solsma and Heelan would answer immediately as they again went to their no-huddle offense and marched down the field with passes to Philip Jacobson and Tyler Cropley. Solsma would connect with Jacobson on a 13-yard touchdown pass to make it a one-score game with 10 minutes remaining in the game, 21-14.
Spencer went 3-and-out on its next possession, giving Heelan an opening, but the Tiger defense once again stepped up with Trey Hookfin snagging the team's fourth interception.
"I can't say enough about how well our defense played," Tighe said.
Spencer was able to drain the clock down to 1:12 left in the game before having to punt it away, giving Heelan one final shot. After a completion and quarterback keeper, Heelan was at the Spencer 24-yard-line. Solsma completed a pass to Connor Spears but Altenhofen forced a fumble, which was recovered by Spencer.
After a kneel-down, Spencer had its upset, and will prepare for its first-round playoff game with the confidence of having just beaten one of 3A's best teams.
Finnern carried the ball 23 times for 103 yards and a touchdown. Lauck rushed 13 times for 101 yards, including runs of 44 and 19. Altenhofen had one touchdown on five rushes for 52 yards. Finnern was 1-for-6 passing for 31 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
Solsma, who entered the game having completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and had thrown just four interceptions on the season, was 23-of-42 for 269 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions. Jimmy Fitzsimmons made six catches. Alcaraz rushed 10 times for 51 yards.
Playoff football starts Wednesday across the state.

Ideals bind history major to urban policing
City's next chief cherishes duel with civic problems
Growing up on the Jersey shore, Edward Flynn never pictured himself as a police officer, didn't even hit on the idea until he was a history major at La Salle University in the late 1960s.
Being a police officer, Flynn found, was a way to put idealism into practice, to do something real - every day - that made a difference.
Once on the job, first in a small-town department and then as a beat cop in Jersey City, it didn't take Flynn long to realize the biggest differences were made at the top.
"To me, there's nothing like being an urban police chief," Flynn said. "It's intense. It's up-tempo. And every decision matters."
Flynn will be sworn in Monday as Milwaukee's new police chief, getting the sort of job he's long wanted - and all of the pressure, scrutiny and, yes, opportunity that accompanies it.
Flynn, 59, brings with him a reputation as an innovator, a well-developed philosophy of policing, a rail-straight bearing, the slightest touch of an East Coast accent and a résumé that spans nearly 37 years in law enforcement, including 19 as a chief.
In many ways, it was an unlikely career.
Flynn grew up in Brielle, N.J., a shore town about 60 south of New York City. He was an only child.
His father, also Edward, a paralyzed World War II veteran, died when Flynn was 12. His mother, Constance, who would later remarry, would supplement the disability check with part-time work at the library.
Education was at St. Catherine's School in nearby Spring Lake, then Christian Brothers Academy for high school, graduating in 1966.
"Between the nuns and the brothers, I had a pretty strong educational background," said Flynn, noting it came with an approach to discipline that made it clear "there are consequences for not following the rules."
From there, it was off to La Salle University in Philadelphia as a history major.
Intrigued by police work
For a brief time after graduation, Flynn worked for the New Jersey Department of Public Welfare, but was frustrated by the smothering bureaucracy.
At the time, there was a push from police departments to hire college graduates in general, liberal arts majors in particular.
And Flynn, exposed to the prospect while at La Salle, set his sights on a blue uniform. No one in his family tree had been a cop, but he knew of his father's time in Army green.
The honor appealed to him, the duty, the idea of putting himself on the line.
"There was a lot of talk about making a difference and grappling with the problems of society," said Flynn, adding: "It's one thing to be idealistic, another to practice that idealism at some risk."
He wanted a big-city job, but settled for Hillside Township, N.J., which borders Newark, in part because it waived a residency requirement for college graduates.
Within two years, February of 1973, he took a job as a patrol officer in Jersey City - the big-city job he wanted.
Later that year, he married Susan, whom he had met while working at a Jersey shore resort in college. She was a waitress, he a room-service waiter.
The honeymoon was a trip to Nantucket, Mass., followed by a jolt back to reality when they returned to their studio apartment and their clock radio woke them up the next day with news that two Jersey City police officers had been killed the night before.
Life on the Jersey City force was its own awakening.
Flynn describes the city at the time as one of the old East Coast machines. The department was caught up in corruption, its direction shifting with the political winds.
"Every four years, there would be a new mayor, followed by massive transfer orders," Flynn said.
When Flynn took the sergeant's exam, he finished first, so there was no doubt he'd be promoted. But when he was, so were 50 others, so the department brass could reach a favored officer and bump him up.
"For a while, I was a sergeant walking a beat, because they had too many sergeants," Flynn said. "It took them awhile to sort it out."
Even before he took the exam, Flynn was working on a master's degree at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. It was there that his goal of becoming a police chief took hold.
The courses required piles of reading, digging into the scholarship on the problems of modern policing: The challenges of urban areas; the resistance of organizations to change; how officers interact with the public and more.
To Flynn, the coursework was a lifeline. He lived the problems on the job by day, got the big picture in class by night - a rare sensation.
"When you're a history major, you don't necessarily get to experience history while you're reading it," he said.
Flynn is still a heavy reader - books, reports, studies, always with a yellow highlighter nearby. Flynn has been known to use the highlighter on novels, when a turn of phrase catches his eye.
In Jersey City, Flynn's rise was rapid, from sergeant to lieutenant in 1981, lieutenant to captain in 1985, captain to inspector in 1988.
Along the way, he met one of the professors whose books and papers had long been on his reading list: George Kelling, a criminologist who produced groundbreaking work on beat patrols, community-oriented policing and the "broken-windows theory."
The broken-windows approach holds that a focus on minor offenses, such as graffiti, brings a sense of order to a community, which in turn helps reduce major crimes.
"He was one of a couple young up-and-comers when I met him," Kelling said. "I've always sort of viewed him as an up-and-comer."
Kelling, a Milwaukee native, would later prove instrumental in Flynn's ascent to the top post in Milwaukee, as only the second outsider in department history to be named chief here.
Climb to the top
To be sure, the steps Flynn took in his career always aimed toward just such a post.
Soon after being appointed inspector, he left the New Jersey department for a chief's job in Braintree, Mass. After five years, he left for Chelsea, Mass. It was about the same size - 35,000 or so - but the problems much greater.
Chelsea, surrounded by Boston, was urban, with all the dynamics and problems such a label suggests. The city was on the verge of bankruptcy, its vice squad faced indictment and the station house was condemned.
"I had been in New Jersey," said Flynn of the challenge. "I wasn't going to get the vapors because there was a history of political influence."
The main lesson:
"I thought if you could protect the cops from the politics, they would perform," he said. "And they did."
In 1997, it was off to Arlington County, Va., a neighbor to Washington, D.C.
Already with a rising profile in the profession, Flynn was set to speak at a conference Sept. 11, 2001, in Atlantic City when the announcement came that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon - on his turf - had been struck by terrorists.
"I've never driven so fast in my life," Flynn said. "Perversely, I didn't start relaxing until I could see the smoke from the Pentagon, because then I knew where I was supposed to be."
Flynn decided not to come in barking orders, but to give the people he trained and trusted room to operate. After all, the disaster plan had been implemented while Flynn was on the highway, struggling with spotty cell phone and radio connections.
"It's a very hard thing to learn," said Jay Farr, deputy chief in Arlington County. "Police are doers. They want to be the guy doing it. So it takes some time to get to the point where you feel comfortable in letting people do their job, rather than telling them how to do it."
In January 2003, Flynn was tapped by then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to be the state's secretary of public safety, overseeing a $1 billion budget and some 10,000 employees in corrections, state police, homeland security and related areas.
He was far removed from day-to-day police work, but liked the challenge.
"I got to affect the things that might have frustrated me as a police chief," he said.
Romney, now a Republican presidential candidate, gave Flynn and others the heads-up that he would not seek a new term. So when the police chief's job opened in Springfield, Mass., which was facing its own crime and financial crisis, Flynn took it.
There he won plaudits for cutting the crime rate - and the ire of politicians and residents for seeking the Milwaukee job after only 18 months.
Detractors also complained that Flynn was just a ladder-climber, using his polish to mask a lack of progress.
Flynn initially did not apply for the Milwaukee job, but took a closer look on the advice of Kelling. Once Flynn added his name to the mix, he quickly became a favorite.
It is a job defined by a familiar knot of problems - high crime, deep poverty, heavy pressure - that mean the opportunity to make a difference is that much greater.
And that, Flynn said, is the main appeal.
