Brayden Cuthbert skates at Mosaic Place Tuesday.
Brayden Cuthbert is hoping his long off-season is finally almost over.
Tuesday, the 18-year-old took part in an informal, hour-long four-on-four ice session with some of the other Moose Jaw Warriors veterans. The mood was relaxed, intensity was nonexistent, but the tempo was good.
For Cuthbert, a player who hasn't played a game in 19 months due to a concussion and post-concussion symptoms, to be able to push himself with his peers and feel fine afterwards is a positive step.
"Skating with the guys is always fun," said Cuthbert. "If I can keep up with them that's always a good sign. My head feels great right now.
"I did some contact stuff over the summer and even at the end of last winter and my body responded well to it. I'm having very limited to mild symptoms and they're few and far between. I'm just waiting for those to completely disappear."
After more than a year of progress and setbacks, positive signs and frustrations, Cuthbert has learned to take each day as it comes and not look too far ahead.
The last 19 months have taught him a lot about patience and perseverance.
"It's been very hard. It's been hard on me and my family. I've haven't missed a hockey season since I was four or five. It was very hard emotionally," said Cuthbert. "I'm getting better and I have a lot of good people around me."
His attitude and sense of humour remain intact despite the frustrations. He described the last 19 months as merely "a long, long off-season."
Cuthbert was injured when he was laid out by an open-ice hit by Red Deer defenceman Mathew Dumba on Jan, 22, 2011.
Cuthbert was a fifth round Bantam draft pick, but made the Warriors as a 16-year-old thanks to his work ethic and the energy he brought to his play.
His career had gotten off to a fast start. He had two goals and four points in 39 games in his rookie season. Despite being a 16-year-old rookie who wasn't favoured to make the team out of training camp, he had only been scratched four times that season and established himself as solid energy guy for the Warriors.
Three weeks before the injury he had played for the host Team West at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Winnipeg, not far from his home in Brandon. Cuthbert scored the game-winning goal to beat the Czech Republic.
It wasn't easy to take such big strides in a short amount of time and then have to put the brakes on his ambitions, but Cuthbert knows sitting out a season was the best thing for him.
"You have to take care of your head. With a head injury like that you could be out for your lifetime," said Cuthbert. "Taking off a season like that was the best thing I could do for my head."
Cuthbert is close to returning, but he isn't going to push himself too hard too fast. He won't be a full participant at training camp and isn't sure when he will be cleared for contact.
"We're taking things slow right now to be cautious. We're making sure I'm back to my physical strength before I get into any serious contact," said Cuthbert who said it will be up to the doctors to clear him to fully return.
"I've seen a lot of people and they all think things will come together great."
He is hoping to continue to push himself as hard as he can without being involved in contact so he will be in game shape once he's cleared.
"Hopefully within the next month or so I would like to be going as hard as I can be going," he said. "It's just a matter of getting my body to handle the pace. Once I get back to my peak shape I think I should be good to go.
"I'm going to take it day by day and slowly increase my fitness and if I keep feeling better that's great."

As Wendy's Co. continues its effort to modernize restaurants, up to 130 U.S. restaurants could be closed in the coming year because they are not making enough money to be worthy of being remodeled or rebuilt.
The news came yesterday as the Dublin-based company announced earnings for the fourth quarter and full year.
Wendy's is beginning the third year of its Image Activation program to raze, rebuild or remodel nearly half of its 600 company-owned stores by the end of 2015.
So far, the Dublin-based fast-food restaurant has rebuilt 58 company-owned stores since 2011, and it plans to rebuild or remodel another 100 company stores and 100 franchised stores this year.
The first year, the rebuilt stores "drove average sales increases of 25 percent, and those results continue to hold today," Emil Brolick, the company's chairman and CEO, told securities analysts during a conference call.
Sales results from last year's remodeled stores "are very consistent to the results of our 2011 prototypes," Brolick said.
This year, Wendy's is accelerating its rebuilding program by involving franchisees in the process. Late last year, the company rolled out a $10 million incentive program to encourage franchisees to invest $750,000 to raze and rebuild their stores, or make lesser investments of $550,000 or $375,000 to remodel their stores.
So far, franchisees that own more than 100 stores have raised their hands for one of the three tiers in the rebuilding program. "We are excited about the positive response from our franchisees to the Image Activation incentive program," Steve Hare, Wendy's chief financial officer, told analysts.
"The trick is creating an economically viable remodeling program," said Dennis Lombardi, executive vice president of foodservice strategies at WD Partners in Columbus.
All the money from Wendy's incentive program is committed. So the company's remaining franchisees likely will wait to hear whether it was a good idea from those who have taken the investment plunge, Lombardi said.
The franchisees also will be watching to see the sales differentials between the rebuilt stores and the remodeled locations. The first two remodeled stores are expected to open in March, Brolick said.
Wendy's also plans to build 25 company-owned stores this year, and expects 40 franchisee- owned stores to open in 2013.
Wendy's said yesterday that its net income rose more than six times in the fourth quarter, mostly because of lower interest expense, higher investment income and lower taxes. Sales at stores open at least a year fell 0.2 percent during the recent quarter but increased 1.6 percent in 2012 from year-ago periods.
"Our 2012 North America same-store sales growth of 1.6 percent and record-high average annual restaurant sales of $1.48 million are evidence that our growth initiatives are beginning to work, and we are optimistic about our product pipeline and marketing plans for 2013," Brolick said.
Wendy's net income rose to $26.4 million, or 7 cents a share, in the quarter ended on Dec. 31. That compared with net income of $4 million, or 1 cent a share, in the year-ago quarter.
Revenue rose 2.4 percent to $629.9 million during the fourth quarter from $615 million a year ago.
Wendy's shares rose 3.6 percent to $5.70 on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.

Broaden your horizons people. Some of the best places to visit in Europe aren't in Western Europe. Croatia, particularly the Dalmatian coast with it's islands smashes most of Western Europe to pieces. Ditti Montenegro. Bar and Budva are awesome!
Greg from sydney of Sydney Posted at 2:31 PM April 10, 2013
Auckland where the nightlife is dull, the people walk around after dark like zombies and so many sex workers around. Met up with one woman there who returned from living in Sydney and as she was dropping me off at my hotel she suggested I go visit the brothel down the road. Went to one so called upmarket bar and most of the women there were barely over 18. One of the woman I met there gave me her card listing her services as a sex worker The DJ there ranted and raved with too many anti Australian epithets. After a couple of days lef the Jafas to go on a wonderful camping trip meeting lots of friendly people around the North Island

Melbourne - dull, boring, over-rated, poor food, nothing worth visiting, stench from the alleyways, hopeless transport.

Keeping impedances low on iems allow them to consume less power in general which in turn prolong battery life of the source. How is that a problem?
Keeping impedances low on iems allow them to consume less power in general which in turn prolong battery life of the source. How is that a problem?
I've just been trying to scratch around for some more info on the Calyx-M, prior to the opening of its official webpage (which is due any day now - possibly January 6th, which is the 'Press Day', prior to the public opening of CES 2014, which runs Jan 7-10th)
I did find the following lo-res pic of the device, quoted as measuring 5.3 x 2.7 x 0.5 inches (134.3mm x 68.4mm x 12.7mm), which looks much sleeker than the prototype 3D render thus far supplied (which was originally quoted as being 141.5 X 70.8 X 14 mm) :
and, back to the earlier evidence, I found some labels for some of the hardware functions, on a Dutch website:
I do hope I'm wrong about this, but, other than a [Play/Pause] button, there seems to be a worryingly conspicuous lack of [<<REW] and [FFW>>] buttons...
Perhaps the newer version has addressed this, on the unshown left-hand side of the DAP, but the righthand side, shown, above, doesn't seem any different, between the old and new versions, and it can be seen on some other old pictures, that there are no buttons evident, at that time, on the lefthand side of the device... .
Fingers (and toes!) crossed, boys & girls..!
Is it some kind of volume bar under the play/pause button?
I was thinking exactly the same thing, but didn't dare to venture!
FWD and RWD buttons are not must for me, but if they are there, of course it is nice plus. Pause/Play and volume controller are the most important ones. However, if it is the volume bar, I am not sure about I can use it in my pockets easily. I much prefer the button layouts like ZX1 or X5. As a side note, I also don't like AK1X0 style either I have a feeling like it can get accidental touches therefore changes in volume. What do you think about the volume bar system, I mean if it is a volume bar really?
If it is a volume slider, I think it is extremely poor design, because it would be too easy to accidentally slide volume to 100% and damage your hearing and your CIEMs (even though it is flush in the side of the chassis)
Agreed. Generally poor design overall, I would give C-
so, may be we the The Astell & Kern AK240 will become the next top-of-the line source ?
In the February 2014 issue of The Absolute Sound there's an ad for the new Astell & Kern AK240.
There's not a lot of info so I'm hoping they'll show it at CES next month and.... that it has a true line-out...

I am sorry but I don't think I will be able to pay near 2k for a dap while doing my master As crazy as I am, I done it for my ciems. Worth every penny I spent but it is off topic.
So, yeah it will be overpriced as usual iRiver (I refuse to use their fancy new names). I have no doubt that it will be nice sounding device, it is just, the amount of money they are asking for it is not fair IMO. So what do I do, I look for alternatives, we still have companies like FiiO and iBasso etc. Btw, iBasso is bringing dual dac dap too, ES9018K2M and they will charge it a bit less than 500 USD apparently. So yeah, make your own conclusion.
As for Calyx M, I still have hope but design wise, all I can say is, poor.
It is out.
thats weird,they didnt list the dac or the amp
confirmed no line out
So, it's 3.3 ohm output impedance.
It does have an on-the-go playlist, but not clear if it's only one playlist or multiple, saveable, playlists
Also, the volume control is, as feared, a silly slider. That design decision is going to come back & haunt Calyx and their customers, mark my words...
And as also feared, there are no [<<REW] and [FFW>>] buttons... (face-palm..!)
Other than that, it looks like a beautiful piece of engineering.
Placement of Buttons:
1/8(3.5mm)headphone jack(top left)
Power On/Off(top right)
Play/Pause, Slide Volume (right side)
134.60 X 69.16 x 14.50 m/m^3 (H/W/D) Weight (160g, TBA)
I also can't help but wonder what Sony will think about this claim:
Unless it's, perhaps, an intentionally misleading statement, on the basis of them including the term 'OLED', since the NW-ZX1 screen isn't (AFAIK) OLED. Very cheeky, and many people, who may not be aware of the Japan-only NW-ZX1, may fall for it, believing that no DAP other than the Calyx-M has a large touchscreen (and I haven't even mentioned the DX100 yet , but they've 'covered' that by including the word 'sharper'). Very tricksy marketing, don'tcha think?
But, in spite of the design shortcomings and iffy marketing claims, I have to hand it to them - the Calyx-M does look like a lovely piece of compact electronics engineering.
I'll be interested to find out how it sounds (driving some low-impedance CIEMs, that is!).
NO line out !
NO >> Skip botton (the one I use most when the AK is in my pocket, and want to go to the next song)
3.3 ohm output impedance !
--> ... NO Thanks !
plus, no infos about the DAC chip ! which one ? one or dual ?
apparently only 1 Micro-SD Slot ?

NCAA Records Fall in Wildcats' Title Romp
by Jeff Seidel | Special to Lacrosse Magazine Online
TOWSON, Md. -- Statistics can be misleading at times, but the numbers truly told the story of how top-seeded Northwestern completely dominated every aspect of Sunday night's national championship matchup with fifth-seeded North Carolina.
Katrina Dowd, Brooke Matthews and Hilary Bowen each posted hat tricks while Hannah Nielsen got five assists, and a total of seven players scored goals. In fact, eight players got points while the Wildcats scored on 15 of their first 17 shots.
And all that was just the first half.
This one belonged to Northwestern right from the start. The Wildcats scored in the first minute and never looked back, never trailed and ran away from North Carolina. Northwestern scored 10 in a row and 15 overall in the first half to quickly turn the game into a laugher and come away with its fifth straight national title after a 21-7 victory over the Tar Heels before 6,515 fans at Johnny Unitas Stadium.
The Wildcats finished with a 23-0 record and now have won 29 straight games overall as well as 20 consecutive NCAA tournament games. They've posted a 106-3 record during their five-year title run, but this is the first season that this group of seniors went unbeaten.
"I just can't put into words how proud I am of this team, this group of seniors," said Northwestern coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, who also won two NCAA titles while playing at Maryland. "It was a great display of incredible lacrosse today, and I was just pleased that I could be a part of it."
Bowen led Northwestern with five goals while Danielle Spencer added four goals and one assist, and Matthews scored three times. Nielsen finished with six assists and took only one shot. Dowd was named Most Outstanding Player and finished with four goals and two assists.
The Wildcats also set a number of records, including most goals in a half and overall in the championship game. In addition, the 21 goals are the most ever scored by a team in any NCAA tournament game. Northwestern also set other marks including most points in a season (570), goals in a season (407), team and individual goals in a tournament (73 as a team and Katrina Dowd with 22), assists in a tournament (Nielsen, 16) and average goals per game (18.3).
The 23 wins also ties a Division I mark for most in a season – Maryland also did it in 2001 while winning that national title.
Northwestern played aggressively on offense throughout the game, driving to the net, making all kinds of perfectly-timed passes to cutters right in front of North Carolina goalie Logan Ripley, who often had little or no chance, as many of the goals came on shots from inside of five yards.
In fact, Ripley didn't make her first save until just 8:20 remained – and Northwestern had a 20-5 lead. Ripley finished with just two stops.
"This was not our best game of the year," said North Carolina coach Jenny Levy. "We struggled on offense, then struggled on defense. We're certainly disappointed."
The Wildcats needed fewer than14 minutes to score 10 straight goals and jump out to a 14-2 lead with 1:07 left in the first half. They scored on free-position shots, used great dodges, made perfect passes – it all worked out.
Northwestern took 17 first-half shots and scored 15 times. It doesn't get much better than that.
"Our offense was really firing in the first half," Nielsen said. "We were working as a unit and moving the ball well. Before the game, we talked about how important that would be to get everybody working as a unit instead of seven individual players."
That's why Northwestern ended a perfect season with a perfect game. Fans who came to Baltimore to watch certainly loved it, starting a chant of "un-de-feated, un-de-feated" as the clock wound down in the final minutes.
"It feels very special to me," said Amonte Hiller. "Every championship has been special in different ways. We had to overcome a lot of adversity to get here, so that makes it satisfying."

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Circuit Judge Andy Howorth issued a stay in a lawsuit over the death of University of Mississippi football player Bennie "Buster" Abram, who died Feb. 19, 2010, after collapsing during a team workout.
The stay puts on hold the discovery process in the case until Howorth rules on points of law, including whether some former and current university employees should be included as defendants.
Abram's parents claim that the university, 22 of its employees, the University of Mississippi Athletics Association, Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi, the University of Mississippi Medical Center and other defendants are liable for their son's death.
While Thursday's hearing was not intended to argue the case itself, attorneys on both sides found opportunity to include parts of their respective positions. One point of contention was the role that Buster Abram's sickle-cell trait may have played in his death.
Plaintiff attorney Gene Egdorf successfully represented the family of a Rice University athlete in a sickle-related case in 2009, the settlement of which instituted the NCAA's mandatory sickle-cell testing.
"The fact is that in the last several years, more than 20 Division I college football players have died from complications from sickle-cell trait. That's not in medical dispute," he said. "It's not disputed that that's what happened to Buster Abram. The coroner cited that in her report in May 2010."

Interesting question.
When pregnant with my dd, I decided I would nurse for 4 to 6 months, not thinking (or knowing) what she would need after that. Of course I learned more after she was born...we got to six months, so I aimed for a year. At a year, she still seemed so babyish in many ways and loved to nurse (and it was how we reconnected when I got home from work). Then we got to 18 months and I quit worrying about it....good thing, too, because she finally weaned completely at 6.5 years! I never dreamed I would be nursing a child that long, but I wouldn't change anything! I did find it interesting that the spring after dd weaned completely, she started having problems with hayfever allergies. I guess even the 10 seconds of nursing once every 3 months (her pattern for the last year or so that she nursed) was still protective for the allergies.
Ds is now 3.5 years old and still loves to nurse. I know he'll wean eventually so I rarely even think about it. We're at what I consider the really fun stage of nursing-- we might nurse once or twice in 24 hours or 10 times in 24 hours, and we can both be happy and comfortable (physically--not engorged) about it.

License costs
Let's see....it is mentioned that the Tennessee non-resident license is $81. To compare, call up at least six public or semi-private golf courses and ask what the greens fees are, weekends and weekdays, with and without a cart. 81 divided by 12 equals $6.75 per month. Two cocktails can cost more that $6.75! I'm a resident of Tennessee and don't mind paying the licensing fees when I figure what I get out of it. I don't fish other states because they have lower license rates. By the time I figure travel time, gas, etc., it's cheaper to stay close to home. I have trout one hour from the house. And I'm cheap! I'm so cheap, they have my picture next to the word in the dictionary. From my house to Townsend is two hours drive. I would rather fish the park and enjoy the wild trout and the beauty of the park. Thanks for allowing me my 3 cents worth (everything costs more now).

World Press Freedom Day
Reporting on corruption is a vital sign of press freedom.
"I am ready to die for this country if this will help it."
Georgiy Gongadze, Ukrainian journalist
- Introduction
- Snapshot: investigating corruption stories
- TI key recommendations
- TI's work on access to information
- Selected articles
- Selected links
- Media contacts
A free and independent media is essential for making citizens aware of corruption. By investigating and reporting on corruption, the media provides an important tool in the fight against the abuse of entrusted power for private gain, shedding light on the wrongdoings of public officials, law enforcement agents and the judiciary, health professionals and corporate executives alike. As such, it significantly contributes to the knowledge base with which citizens can hold both public and private institutions to account.
Established as a basic human right, the right to access information held by public bodies has been recognized not only in human rights conventions but is also mentioned in all three of the major anti-corruption conventions.
The media is, however, vulnerable to attempts to curb its effectiveness in exposing corruption. In fact, journalists' freedom to report on this issue is restricted when such reporting is at odds with powerful political and business interests or with organised crime.
At the same time, some journalists accept cash for editorial content and engage in other unethical media practices. This is the case particularly in South-East and Eastern Europe and Latin America, according to a 2004 survey conducted in 54 countries by the International Public Relations Association (IPRA). Throughout the world, it is not uncommon for journalists and editors to accept bribes in exchange for editorial content or the influencing of content, or simply for not publishing a story at all.
Two years ago Transparency International joined the IPRA to establish a set of principles designed to end bribes for media coverage and foster greater transparency in the dealings between public relations professionals and the media. Since then, The Media Transparency Charter has been adopted by media organisations worldwide representing at least half a million editors, media executives and journalists.
The publication of investigative articles exposing petty and grand corruption, bribery, the misappropriation of public funds, the abuse of power and influence, illicit gain and fraud, often serve as eye-openers for the general public. They play a vital role in uncovering the roots of failed social programs, inefficient public services, collapsed buildings, natural disasters, organised crime, humanitarian and financial aid that fails to reach its intended recipients, lawlessness and unmerited contracts and diplomas. Corruption is identified time and again by journalists seeking to find the sources of such problems. And it is not uncommon for those same journalists to be punished for daring to cross the line and expose corruption.
Transparency International's Integrity Awards is a programme that honours courageous individuals who have made a significant contribution to the fight against corruption. Since the programme's inception five years ago, six journalists have been honoured, five of them posthumously.
One of them, Georgiy Gongadze, an online journalist investigating the role of Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma in a corruption scandal, was brutally beaten, shot in the head, doused in acid, decapitated and left in a forest. A second, Carlos Alberto Cardoso, was in the midst of investigating the largest banking fraud in Mozambique's history when he was assassinated in 2000.
"Journalists covering conflict, unrest, corruption, and human rights abuses face a growing risk of incarceration in many countries, where governments seek to disguise their repressive acts as legitimate legal processes," Committee to Protect Journalists Executive Director, Ann Cooper said in a statement on the organisation's website.
From a total of 58 journalists killed in 2005, 14 deaths are directly linked to covering, denouncing or criticising corruption, according to an analysis of a yearly report published by CPJ. So far this year, four out of 12 journalists killed were covering corruption. News articles and awareness efforts by journalism organisations worldwide reflect the reality of reporters facing criminal defamation laws, attacks and prison, often for exposing corruption.
In Mexico, the case of Lydia Cacho, a columnist and human rights activist arrested in December and charged with defaming a Mexican businessman made international headlines. Leaked tapes of telephone conversations in the case pointed to a conspiracy between state officials and local businessmen to jail and assault Cacho. Attacks on Mexican journalists working along the US-Mexico border have proven to be so common that they are going silent rather than risk being at the receiving end of a gun. Mexico recently decriminalised defamation but it is too soon to tell if this will undo the chilling effect of physical intimidation on journalists who investigate corruption.
In Colombia, two leading newsmagazines broke a story on alleged acts of corruption by the country's ex-intelligence chief. President Alvaro Uribe has reacted by charging the news media with being dishonest and malicious, and with harming Colombian democratic institutions. The ex-intelligence chief has publicly warned that he will take legal action against both magazines. The focus is shifted from the alleged corrupt official to the messenger of those allegations.
Meanwhile, a Peruvian journalist reporting on the influence of drug traffickers in politics was driven out of the country after threats to her and her family.
"Journalists' Risk Map", a book from the Inter-American Press Association that focuses on Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, states that "the greatest source generating violence (in these countries) is organised crime and corruption at various levels of government." In light of the threat of silence, the Instituto Prensa y Sociedad (IPYS) has begun compiling cases of self-censorship through its website.
In Asia, there is a strong link between following the trail of corruption and attacks on the press in the Philippines. In 2005, four journalists were killed there according to CPJ statistics. All four were reporting on corruption. Some journalists there are even arming themselves in order to carry out their work. In April, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) reported that a presentation entitled "Knowing the Enemy" prepared by the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) listed the NUJP and the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) among two dozen groups of supposed communist sympathisers and "enemies of the state."
Snapshot: investigating corruption stories in:
TI's Key Recommendations
Over 60 countries have passed legislation that recognises and protects a citizen's right to access information held by public bodies. This is an important component in any efforts to fight corruption, but the mere existence of legal instruments is not enough. Habits and cultures on both sides of the information demand and supply relationship must be changed. While public bodies change their attitudes of secrecy to a climate of openness to prevent potentially corrupt situations, citizens also need to echo the media and capture the spirit of demanding information.
- An enabling legal framework is required that provides strong guarantees of freedom of expression and access to information. Separate legislation should be considered for specific media sectors to avoid inappropriate generalisations.
- New or revised legislation, relating in particular to national security and personal/corporate privacy, should be carefully reviewed for its implications for media freedom.
- National laws should not interfere with matters that are the proper responsibility of media professionals: namely, the gathering, preparation, selection and transmission of information.
- Media pluralism should be strengthened by encouraging a wide diversity of private media ownership enforced through specific media ownership laws.
- The independence of public service broadcasters should be strengthened via specific public media laws.
- Safeguards to maintain the independence of broadcasting authorities should be introduced, including public and civil society monitoring of their activities.
- Where appropriate, independent press monitoring groups should be established to ensure self-regulation of the media.
- The role of independent journalist associations and unions, independent media organisations, media foundations, consumer groups and civil society organisations should be strengthened by involving them in the development of national media frameworks.
- Appropriate and home-grown journalist codes of conduct should be developed in partnership between media professionals and the general public.
- Accessible and affordable journalist training programmes should be developed at national and local level.
