|David Krejci thinks Bruins should prioritize first line, too
|12.22.14 at 4:05 pm ET
David Krejci might want to know who his right wing is as much as anyone else.
Claude Julien's hands are tied. Partially because of Krejci's injuries, he waited too long to try Loui Eriksson with Krejci and Milan Lucic. Eriksson has undeniable chemistry with Carl Soderberg and Chris Kelly, but the Bruins haven't given him a chance to develop chemistry with Lucic and Krejci. Given where they currently fall in the standings, the B's might not think they can afford a games-long getting-to-know-you period if the B's don't win games in the process.
So that leaves Krejci, who thought he knew who he'd have for linemates after Jarome Iginla left, with four different right wings (Seth Griffith, Simon Gagne, Craig Cunningham and, ever so briefly, Eriksson) in 14 games this season.
"Everything was – it looked like we were going to play with Loui from the beginning. If not, then someone else, so it was kind of a tough situation," Krejci told WEEI.com Monday. "I was preparing myself the whole summer [as though] I would be playing with Loui. That was on my mind. Then some injuries and those guys play pretty well together right now with Carl and Kells as a line, so yeah."
Added Krejci: "I'm happy that we're winning, but I'd like to be putting some points up as well. That's why I'm here. That's why they re-signed me. It gets a little frustrating at times. You always play with somebody else, but I'm sure we're going to find the right guy. If not, who knows what happens? There's always trades, you know."
On Sunday, Julien finally started Eriksson on Krejci's right wing to open the game. The line had a so-so first period, but allowed a second-period goal and followed it up with a shift that saw Krejci give the puck away and Lucic mishandle the puck at the blue line. Krejci's misplay led to a Sabres scoring chance; Lucic's forced Dougie Hamilton to trip Tyler Ennis in the neutral zone and put the Bruins on the penalty kill.
Julien returned Eriksson to Soderberg's line, with Kelly scoring on the trio's first shift back together. Eriksson scored the game-winner in overtime on a feed from Lucic, but it was during a line change.
While Eriksson with Kelly and Soderberg has been Boston's most consistent line this season, it isn't like any of Boston's forwards are having particularly good seasons. The Bruins are the only team in the league without a nine-goal scorer. They're one of three teams (with the Sabres and Coyotes the other two) who haven't seen a player reach 10 goals.
Part of the Bruins' offensive problem has been that they've only had Krejci for 14 games, leading Julien to mix and match different lines and play Soderberg's line against other team's top forwards and defensemen. Krejci's return allows the Soderberg line to go back to playing against bottom-six players and third-pairing defensemen, which makes their job easier.
In a perfect world, the Bruins shouldn't need Eriksson to win those shifts, as Soderberg is probably a little better than a third-line player, while Kelly has been a solid third-liner for years.
The Bruins value secondary scoring, but having a good first line is more important. The Bruins are better off when Krejci is at his best, and Krejci's at his best when he's comfortable with his linemates rather than taking turns training potential candidates.
So maybe it's Eriksson and maybe it's somebody else, but teams don't miss the playoffs because they don't have great third lines; they do because they don't have first lines. Krejci is eager for Boston's to take shape.
|A closer look at whether Carl Soderberg's line scores too much to be broken up
|12.21.14 at 2:51 pm ET
Claude Julien does not want to separate Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg. That much we definitely, definitely know.
On Sunday, Julien reiterated that stance with a quote that got us thinking.
"Right now, the Soderberg line is the only one that's scoring for us," Julien said, "so do you guys want me to break that up and we get no more scoring? So you pick your poison."
Krejci has been in the lineup for 13 games and has had Seth Griffith as his right wing for 12 of them, with Simon Gagne also getting some shifts and Eriksson getting a small taste late in Friday's game. The Bruins might not be 100 percent on Griffith being their first-line right wing, but they won't try Eriksson to see if they have any other internal fits for the job before potentially trading for one.
So, given Julien's quote, we looked at every goal the Bruins have scored when Krejci has been in the lineup. In each game, Soderberg and Eriksson have been together, so it's actually rather easy to tell whether Julien has a point. Keeping in mind that different lines (Krejci's and Patrice Bergeron's) have tougher matchups, here were our findings:
Total goals (13 games): 35
Soderberg line: 9
Krejci line: 8
Bergeron line: 7
Campbell line: 1
Krejci during change with Kelly, Eriksson: 1
The findings aren't overwhelming, but they do illustrate that when the Bruins have their full offensive lineup, the Soderberg line does pretty much all of Boston's secondary scoring (nine of 10 goals). That might be reason enough for Julien to not want to tinker with Kelly – Soderberg – Eriksson.
That said, the Bruins are 22nd in the league with 2.42 goals per game (2.69 with Krejci in the lineup). They need goals, and Eriksson had a four-point game against the Flyers last season when skating with Krejci and Lucic.
Following is a goal-by-goal breakdown, which also takes into consideration that Julien changed half of his lines on Oct. 30 against the Sabres but kept Griffith with Krejci while also keeping Eriksson with Soderberg. Read the rest of this entry »
|5 things we learned as Bruins get David Krejci back and win
|12.17.14 at 10:47 pm ET
On Wednesday, the Bruins got three things Bruins fans thought they might never see again: three goals, a win and David Krejci.
After an up-and-down showing from the B's in Minnesota, Loui Eriksson took a feed from Carl Soderberg and tucked it behind Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom to give the Bruins a 3-2 overtime win over the Wild (click here for the boxscore). The win was Boston's first in four games.
Krejci returned to the lineup after missing the last 11 games. He had one shot on goal and had a minus-13, even-strength Corsi, which was worst among Bruins forwards.
Krejci played a part in Minnesota's game-tying goal in the third period. A turnover from Krejci in the defensive zone led to a Ryan Suter point shot that Niklas Svedberg stopped with his blocker. Zach Trotman picked up the rebound, but Jason Pominville whacked it away from Trotman and into the net to tie the game at two goals apiece.
That said, Krejci's return is mammoth for the Bruins, who have had their first-line center for just 12 games this season and fell out of a playoff spot without him.
Here are four more things we learned Thursday:
With Krejci returning to the top line, so too did Seth Griffith. The Bruins have played Griffith as their first-line right wing in every game Krejci has played this season, but they have generally used Griffith as a bottom-six player without Krejci.
It's an odd choice on the Bruins' part to not try other players with Krejci and Milan Lucic to determine how many potential in-house candidates the B's have to fill their seemingly up-for-grabs first-line right wing job. The Bruins have still not tried Loui Eriksson with Krejci and Lucic this season.
The lines were as follows:
Lucic – Krejci – Griffith
Marchand – Bergeron – Smith
Kelly – Soderberg – Eriksson
Paille – Campbell – Cunningham
|Thoughts on the Bruins and trades
|at 4:21 pm ET
The Bruins aren't great and they aren't going to be unless they make some sort of move. Here are some thoughts and some speculation, which I hate doing:
— As you've probably heard by now, the Oilers might not love Taylor Hall so much. He's one of the best wings in the world and makes $6 million a year through 2019-20.
Sean Gentille of The Sporting News did a post on Hall and floated an idea of what it would cost to get Hall, with Dougie Hamilton, Malcolm Subban, Chris Kelly and a first-rounder making up his speculated package.
I wouldn't trade Hamilton and the internet more or less agreed, but Gentille wasn't wrong in suggesting that's what it would take. Assuming the Oilers come close to knowing what they're doing, Hamilton is the guy they should want if they were ever to talk trade with the B's. Again, I wouldn't do it.
Another thought on Hall: If the Bruins were to get him – which, no – you'd have to get rid of Milan Lucic or Brad Marchand, as Hall is a top-six left wing and so are they. Both Lucic and Marchand have modified no-trade clauses. There's also that thing about the Bruins needing right wings, not left wings.
— My media buddy who thinks trading Tuukka Rask should be in play at any point ever is a nice person and also an incorrect person.
— It's whizz or get off the pot time with Loui Eriksson. Either play him on a top line with David Krejci or trade him.
Eriksson's a great third-line player who hasn't gotten a long look with Krejci and Milan Lucic since he got to Boston. He doesn't score, but the Bruins can either learn that he can with Krejci or they can see if there's a team out there that believes he's being underutilized with the B's.
Once Krejci is back, the Bruins' concern shouldn't be breaking up their third line. It should be finding out whether they have the makings of a good first line.
|With scoring down, Milan Lucic admits to feeling the pressure 'a little bit'
|11.25.14 at 9:53 am ET
For Milan Lucic, it's the small steps forward that are a sign that things are getting better.
On a line with Carl Soderberg and Loui Eriksson, the Bruins forward charged the net and was rewarded with a pass from Eriksson that gave him a chance to put the puck into a vacated net for just his fourth goal of the season. Lucic had all the time in the world to think about how many missed chances he's had to score this season. Instead, he put it in for arguably the easiest non-empty goal he's ever scored.
"I saw that he saw me and I knew he's capable of making the play," Lucic said of Eriksson. "It was just a great play by Loui, heads up play to see me there all by myself in front of the net and for myself you saw it was a little bit of delayed I just wanted to make sure I put that one in the back of the net."
Lucic scored just his fourth goal of the season in Boston's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins Monday night at TD Garden.
"I think, all in all, we played a pretty good game," Lucic said. "We didn't spend too much time in our own zone and we were able to create a bunch of scoring chances. I think what got a better is we were attacking with a lot more speed off the rush and we were strong on the pucks and driving to the front of the net and trying to create chances that way. For myself just on that goal, just driving the net, stopping in front, and a great play by Carl and Loui to get me the puck there for that first goal."
He was also in front of the net when Eriksson put a puck on net with he and Soderberg charging the crease. The puck went in off Soderberg, but the goal was disallowed when the referee ruled on replay that Soderberg shoved it in with his glove.
|Loui Eriksson: First season with Bruins 'tougher than I thought'
|08.11.14 at 2:09 pm ET
MIDDLETON – Loui Eriksson was among four current Bruins in attendance to support Panthers forward Shawn Thornton at his annual Putts and Punches for Parkinson's golf tournament at Ferncroft Country Club
Eriksson, who was traded to Boston last summer in the Tyler Seguin megadeal, is set to enter next month's training camp as Boston's first-line right wing. This comes after an up-and-down debut season in Boston that saw the now-29-year-old forward struggle with concussions and adjustment to a new team. Eriksson eventually found very strong chemistry with Carl Soderberg and was dominant when teamed with David Krejci and Milan Lucic late in the regular season while the team rested Jarome Iginla.
The longtime Dallas Star told WEEI.com Monday that he didn't anticipate such a rocky time adjusting to his new team last season, but then again nobody could have expected injuries hitting Eriksson, as he had played every game in all but one of the previous five seasons (three games missed in 2010-11).
The lack of offensive production (he finished the season with 10 goals and 27 assists for 37 points in 61 regular season games) led to some impatience from fans, but Eriksson, who scored 36 goals in the 2008-09 season and was an All Star in 2011, said the fans should have held him to a high standard.
"It was tougher than I thought, actually, but it was something I have to live with, too. Of course they should have high expectations," Eriksson said. "It was kind of a tough beginning of my season to play for Boston with all the concussions and everything a new system. I thought I was getting into it more at the end of the season and into the playoffs."
Check back later for more on Eriksson and what he expects from his second season in Boston. For more Bruins coverage, visit weei.com/bruins.
|Bruins seem comfortable with idea of Loui Eriksson on top line
|07.25.14 at 2:56 pm ET
Bruins fans should prepare for Loui Eriksson on the first line next season.
Speaking to the media for the first time this summer, Claude Julien reiterated on Thursday's conference call what's already been said by Peter Chiarelli this summer: The team is confident that Eriksson is a viable replacement for the departed Jarome Iginla to skate alongside David Krejci and Milan Lucic.
"We don't feel like were in a real tough situation," Julien said. "We've lost Jarome, but as you've probably heard, I think Loui Eriksson is a player that can be even better than he was last year. I think we started seeing that at the end of the year, and he could be a replacement for Jarome as a possibility."
One issue with Eriksson playing on that line that has come up numerous times is the fact that he's a left shot and that Krejci hasn't had a left shot on the right wing in recent years, as Iginla, Nathan Horton, Rich Peverley and Tyler Seguin were all righties. Maybe that won't be a problem for him at all, and maybe there will be some adjustment.
It is worth noting that Eriksson played on that line late in the regular season when the Bruins gave Iginla some time off to get him sharp for the playoffs. Amidst that stretch came Eriksson's best offensive performance of the season, as he registered four assists (three of which were on goals by Lucic or Krejci) and had a season-high seven shots on goal.
In his time with Dallas, Eriksson was a first-liner, and the expectation when he came to Boston was that he would be the perfect second-line right wing to a team with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand. Those three never formed chemistry, and the struggles of Marchand and the two concussions for Eriksson meant that trio wouldn't stick. He returned from his second concussion as a third-liner and teamed wonderfully with Carl Soderberg to provide the Bruins with their strongest third line since the Peverley-Chris Kelly–Michael Ryder days of 2011.
If the roster remains the way it is now, the Bruins should absolutely weaken their third line and put Eriksson on the top line. The roster isn't going to remain the way it is, however, as the team should trade at least one of what Chiarelli considers to be nine NHL defensemen.
Unless the defenseman traded is Johnny Boychuk, the Bruins probably won't be getting a sure-fire first-line right wing back. If they trade a lesser commodity like David Warsofsky or Matt Bartkowski, it's more realistic to expect a third-line candidate in return.
Barring a trade for a first-line right wing, that Krejci line will be different than years past no matter what. Since Krejci became the team's first-line center in the 2010-11 season, he has had bookend power forwards on his line, with Lucic to his left and Horton or Iginla on his right. Eriksson is far from a power forward, and the Bruins don't have anyone on their roster who can bring the sandpaper to the right wing the way Horton and Iginla did.
There are pros to having Eriksson there, however. He may not be as tiring to play against as Iginla, but he's younger, faster and depends well. And it isn't like he can't score; last season was the first time in a full season that he hasn't scored at least 26 goals since 2007-08. He was a 36-goal scorer once upon a time, hitting that mark in the 2008-09 season.
Last offseason, Eriksson's place in the Bruins' lineup seemed obvious, but that changed. Perhaps the expectations held now can change as well, but for now it appears that Eriksson is a good bet to be a first-liner.

Subject 14:ActionMature
Subject 14 (Kishto)
The day was here, today we will seek liberty. They had been planning the whole night, huddled in a circle and whispering. The flaws the original plan we had have been mended and everybody knew what to do. My eidetic memory had been sharpened by the serum and I could clearly remember the shifts of each scientist assigned in the cafeteria and who's turn was it to escort them, I also learned the labyrinthine passages by heart. Our escape could only be through the windows in the upper part of the wall from the cafeteria, it was only a glass panel (cannot prove the thickness) but we could break through.
The cafeteria was an open space and heavily lighted for the conveniences of our captors. It was not powerfully guarded , only one guard in each entrance. Inside the cafeteria there were several "levels" or "floors" of circular shape, the size was a radius of 4 meters, suspended in the air by tension cables (like hanging balconies). That was the place scientists sit to eat while their experiments sat at floor level. The plan was jump and ascend to each of the levels and finally make it to the top part where the glass was located, break it, and finally escape from the facility.
Desmond had shape-shifted into one of the doctors of the morning shift (dark hair) and hidden in the shadows. In any second the two scientist who would escort them will enter. There was a knock on the other side warning them of their arrival, the locks of the metal door were opening, and two scientists appeared. Subject 11 who was hidden in the darkness had rapidly and quietly took hold of the dark hair scientist, Dr. Taylor, imperceptible by his white-coat companion. 11 had make Dr. Taylor unconscious and hid him in the shadow. Desmond as Dr. Taylor appear.
"Wake up!" the other scientist bellowed to us. "It is time for breakfast!"
We arose and walk out of the room in line, Desmond was recording our numbers. "We are missing number 52," Desmond said, role-playing Dr. Taylor.
"Maybe he was taken to be re-programmed," the other scientist suggested, "I heard some scientists say the kid was causing them troubles."
Desmond grinned in spite of himself. He had finished writing our numbers and walked behind us. The way to the cafeteria had been a long one, through many corridors, hallways, and passages that might have confused somebody else (even the scientists themselves), but not me. Meanwhile we were walking to the cafeteria when I spotted a corridor to my left, I remembered the room I was taken after the operation. Adjacent to that room was an office room, I had seen some scientists get some folders out of that room the moment the wound on the flesh of my heart was being diagnosed. After the scientists read the report they had brought, something concerning my heart was suddenly clear to them.
I reach for 15's hand, who was walking in front of me, and pulled him to a stop. Desmond who was behind me also stopped, confusion in his face.
"What is wrong, 14?" fifteen asked me. Desmond had stepped closer to hear us better.
"Let's go over there, I know an office..." I said, not taking my eyes from the passage.
"We have an escape to execute," 15 said, "we cannot risk losing ourselves in this facility."
"We will get our past back." I said resolutely. "We won't get lost, I know the way." I gave him my usual passive smile.
15 seem to hesitate, he was weighing the possibility of getting out successfully and retrieving our past from this frivolous place.
42 who was walking in front of 15 suddenly turned her head, "hey, get moving," she whispered, "we are close to the cafeteria."
15 had settled his reverie, "Tell the others we will be absent for some minutes. 14, Desmond, and myself are going to get something really helpful."
42 was unsure of our doings, but nodded.
"Desmond, tell that scientist you have to take us for a gastric and cholesterol diagnosis," I whispered into Desmond ears.
"Hey, Dr. Stevens," Desmond called. Dr. Stevens turn around, so as the rest of our comrades in this escape mission. "I have to take these two for a gastric and cholesterol diagnosis, I will join you shortly."
Dr. Stevens arched his eyebrows at the word "cholesterol" and eyed 15's and my skinny, poorly fed bodies, then gave Desmond a reluctant thumbs-up and walked the queue toward the cafeteria.
I led the way toward that office which contained our pasts.

Listening With the Eyes
posted by Tom Moon on August 25, 2009 at 7:20 pm
in The Beatles, The Beatles Rock Band, New York Times Sunday Magazine, music video games, Guitar Hero
Thoughts on listening, prompted by the eminent release of The Beatles Rock Band....
There's much to be excited about in the cover story of the August 16 New York Times Magazine, which chronicles the making of the soon-to-launch video game The Beatles Rock Band. Author Daniel Radosh had access to the game's designers and the living Beatles who approved every screen – at one point Paul McCartney describes himself as "executive tweaker." The story offers an endearing portrait of a team dedicated to preserving the halo of magic that surrounds the Beatles while tackling the technical and aesthetic challenges of building a video game.
What's troubling is the story's underlying assumption: That the video game will help bring the Beatles "into the modern era."
As though the music can no longer do that alone.
You know this modern place. It's where music no longer exists for its own sake. Radosh notes that the modern consumer "experiences music differently," as a kind of "sonic wallpaper." As a result, plain old audio, even plain old audio by the world's all-time most influential rock band, is no longer sufficient. It seems the best way – possibly the only way – to get people to dive deeply into the grooves is to hand them a plastic guitar-shaped controller and invite them to "play" along. Progress!
The irony, of course, is that the Beatles were miles ahead of everyone else in pop music in embracing the visual. The Beatles seized the possibilities of animation, and pioneered what became known as the music video – in the process creating visual languages that enhanced the listening experience. The Beatles Rock Band may one day be considered another pioneering achivement, a canny "extension" of a storied brand. Here's hoping.
Still, we'll be left with a curious condition: A huge audience for music that regards listening to be an activity that involves the eyes. In this "modern" era, people don't often immerse themselves in sound, and nothing but sound. They forage for music via YouTube, seeking enchantment through the corresponding videos. They've come to expect a visual "supplement." Some aren't interested in a song unless there's a scene attached.
I can't help but wonder: In this modern age, how much of the delightful audio wonderments the Beatles and countless others painstakingly embedded in their recordings are even getting through to us? What are we missing when we listen with our eyes? Does this type of listening erode our ability to appreciate plain old music? Will we someday lose the ability to process complex ideas, to follow an extended melody around sharp curves and through dense forests? Will we no longer bother to engage such a melody unless it is in some way "illustrated?"

Good questions, but this has been going on for some time - at least since the heyday of MTV in the '80s and probably as long as any sort of imagery has been associated with pop music artists. Had the first still images that '50s teens seen of Elvis Presley been replaced with stills of a less-alluring man would there have been as much passion for getting some folks to listen more carefully? There are more visual avenues competing for listeners' attention, but who's to say the percentage of listeners who actually listen for the subtleties that attact people like us to music has ever changed? Could it be that the old "It's got a great beat and you can dance to it!" reaction that teens on American Bandstand once noted has always been a primary entry point and that the public has always been more willing to make time to dig deeper for "good-looking" artists. In my mate-seeking days, for instance, I sadly admit to having allowed more time for a conversation to develop with a prospective partner who caught my eye than otherwise might have been warranted. Videos and these games may simply be new media for encouraging us to dig deeper. The richness of The Beatles' music will be evident regardless of what gets a new generation of kids to pay attention to them.

As frankenslade points out, music has always had a relationship to visual imagery. After all, one lament as LP's have evolved into CD's and now MP3's has been the ever-shrinking size of album artwork. Was Sgt. Pepper's, with its spectacular gatefold cover, ever really "plain old audio?"
But I think you're missing a few other points about what's going on with the Beatles' Rock Band project.
1) It's not so much about "interesting" new generations of listeners through the bells and whistles of a game like Rock Band. It's about EXPOSING new generations of listeners through Rock Band. As radio, MTV, record stores, and magazines have lost their over-arching power to reach audiences, artists—yes, even the Beatles—have to seek out other outlets to get their music to people who haven't yet heard it. So we see acts angling to get their songs into video games, onto shows like American Idol, and into commercials and narrative TV shows. But again, I think this has more to do with exposure than some incapability of new listeners to enjoy visually unadorned music.
2) But insofar as the music is being adorned, I think you're missing something still by considering the adornment as "visual." I think what's being added to the music is more accurately described as "interactivity." Younger audiences seem to want to take pop musicians off the pedestal and become more involved with the music. This interactivity is obvious in Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but think about a show like American Idol, where amateurs compete by performing the songs of our favorite stars, as the audience votes each week to determine who they like the most. Think of the more intimate and interactive relationship that indie artists have with their fan bases through social networking and other websites. There seems to be a definite trend toward less stratification between artist and audience.
3) Finally, games like Rock Band are less about "listening with our eyes" than they are about "listening with our wallets." I don't think younger audiences enjoy the pure listening experience of the Beatles' music any less than previous generations. They just aren't accustomed to PAYING for the pure listening experience. Bands need to find new delivery streams where their work can't be acquired for free, and video games happen to be one of the most viable current streams.Commenting is not available in this content area entry.

Background: Both pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary overflow are associated with functional and structural changes of the pulmonary arterial wall. Current techniques to evaluate the pulmonary vasculature neglect the pulsatile nature of pulmonary flow.
Study objectives: To determine whether the dynamic properties of the pulmonary arterial wall are altered in patients with abnormal pulmonary hemodynamics due to congenital heart defects, and whether these changes are associated with the progression of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD).
Patients and methods: In 43 children with PVD due to congenital heart defects and 12 control subjects, pulmonary arterial pulsatility (the relative increase in vessel area during the cardiac cycle) and distensibility (the inverse of the stress/strain elastic modulus) were determined with intravascular ultrasound. Results were correlated with clinical and hemodynamic parameters.
Results: Pulsatility correlated with pulmonary pulse pressure (p < 0.001), pulmonary-to-systemic vascular resistance ratio (PVR/SVR) [p = 0.001], and hemoglobin concentration (p = 0.01). However, when corrected for these variables, pulsatility did not differ between patients and control subjects. In contrast, arterial wall distensibility decreased with the severity of PVD and correlated independently with pulmonary-to-systemic arterial pressure ratio (p < 0.001) and PVR/SVR (p = 0.03), and with hemoglobin concentration (p < 0.01). Adjusted for hemodynamic variables, distensibility was still decreased in patients with PVD compared to control subjects.
Conclusions: These results demonstrate that pulmonary arterial wall distensibility is progressively decreased in PVD; moreover, this decreased distensibility is, in part, related to increased distending pressure as a result of pulmonary hypertension but also, in part, to stiffening of the arterial wall during the disease process. Arterial wall distensibility may be of additional value in the evaluation of pulmonary vasculature and ventricular workload.

Equine Shelter to Receive Vet Assistance through 'Voluntourism' Project
- Jul 7, 2009
- Topics:
Veterinarians will have the opportunity to volunteer their time at a Seattle-area equine rescue when they gather for the 2009 American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) conference.
Hope for Horses is the first equine shelter to become a part of the AVMA's annual project.
Hope for Horses is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization that works with neglected, abused, and abandoned horses in Washington. Veterinarians and other conference attendees who volunteer through the AVMA will paint barns and assist in repairing stalls, walls, and fences.
"In tough economic times, we must put off minor or cosmetic repairs in favor of continuing to provide a high level of care for the neglected, abused, and abandoned horses that we take in," said Jenny Edwards, executive director of Hope for Horses. "With the AVMA's help, we will be able to accomplish some tasks we couldn't otherwise do."
The annual AVMA convention gathers between 10,000 and 12,000 attendees, including veterinarians and their families, each year. The AVMA represents 78,000 veterinarians, including about 86% of the veterinarians in the United States today.
The "voluntourism" aspect of the annual convention came about after Hurricane Katrina left many animals abandoned and animal shelters in dire need of assistance.
"We wanted to find something we could do to help the animals that were injured, hurt, and displaced in Katrina," said Bruce W. Little, DVM, coordinator for the American Veterinary Medical Foundation voluntourism project and former executive vice president of the AVMA. The group sought out animal shelters in New Orleans that needed assistance, and last year began offering the service opportunity.
The American Veterinary Medical Foundation is the not-for-profit sector of the AVMA. After the huge success in New Orleans, the Foundation took the reins on the voluntourism project and began planning for 2009.
When selecting shelters for the voluntourism project, the Foundation contacts the city convention and visitors bureau where the convention will take place and asks for contact information of local animal shelters in need. Local veterinarians then visit the shelters to determine what assistance can be provided.
For more information about the American Veterinary Medical Foundation's voluntourism project, visit www.avmf.org.

For 2001, the number of containers going through its ports increased 18% on the year though the rise was 9% in the last quarter with P&O warning things may get tougher before they get better.
'Most commentators are of the view that the current slowdown will last through the traditionally weak first quarter of the year and possibly up to the third quarter,' the company said. 'Thereafter stronger growth is expected to return, albeit at slightly lower rates than have characterised the industry in recent years.'
P&O's throughput figures beat marketwide growth of 4.3%. While that was boosted by extra capacity such as that acquired in Antwerp, Belgium, the company said its organic growth for the year was 7%.
Its P&O Stena Line joint venture out of Dover to Calais and Zeebrugge, meanwhile, showed passenger numbers down some 6% at 10.8m and the number of vehicles off 9% at 1.64m. But the company said the final quarter of the year suggested the first moves in a turnround, with a year-on-year fall in passengers of 1% and in vehicles of 4%.
That offset much sharper declines earlier in the year blamed on Europeans unwilling, to cross the Channel due to the foot-and-mouth outbreak. P&O said UK-based traffic picked up in the last three months of the year. Average rates for the year fell because of the loss of high-yielding Continental traffic, but are expected to start rising again this year. Onboard sales per passenger rose 23%, to levels seen during the duty free era but at lower margins.
Passenger numbers crossing the North Sea and Irish Sea on P&O vessels leapt 8% in the last quarter, though that is against the previous year's poor figures. For the year, passenger numbers were up nearly 4% at 4m. Freight figures for the year were broadly flat on P&O Stena Line and across the North Sea. While the freight market across the Channel lifted 9%, P&O lost market share to the growing Norfolk Line.
P&O shares fell 5 1/2p to 225p. It will post full-year financial results in six weeks.Reuse content

If you want a headphone that just murders practically everything else for FPS games, the AD700s is that headphone.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Enormous Soundstage
Soundstage is the "illusion created by stereo speakers that instruments have "place" on the stage" and is very important for creating an immersive gaming environment. Expert reviews of the AD700s show that it has one of the biggest (detailed and wide ranged) soundstages of any headphones in its price range.
Pro Comfortable Design
The speaker pads are super comfortable to wear.
Pro Optimised for gaming with perfect clarity and directional accuracy
Everything sounds just so crystal clear and sparkly. Directional accuracy is just bloody fantastic (2nd only to the DT770 Pro 80s for me)
Con Low impedance
The low impedance on the AD700 may require an amplifier to get better sound.
Con Very weak bass
In their hunt for perfect accuracy and soundstage for gaming the AD700's have practically no bass at all.
The sound is very cold, artificial and harsh. Brilliant for competitive FPS gaming, but terrible for music and "fun" gaming.

mod_jk with Apache is not that hard. Actually I believe it is fairly easy.... mod_jk2 is much harder for me to understand. Getting the IIS connectors to work with IIS 6 appears to be rocket science though.

The multiverse needs heroes. Who better to recruit than talented people who are already dead? No ties to their respective worlds, no worry about their safety, and the skills to get the job done.
But before the final team can be chosen, their stories must be recorded and judged. These are the stories of how they died.
The walls appeared to be made of solid granite. No sign of an opening could be found along a wall, floor, or ceiling. Physically, this room was inaccessible. Yet somehow he was here.
Frey ran a hand along one of the walls. The last he remembered, he was struggling to stay alive. He was sure he had died, but he didn't seem to be harmed right now. "Where am I?"
"This..." A voiced echoed. "Is the storytelling room."
Frey turned quickly, instinctively reaching for a weapon that wasn't there. Sitting comfortably at a newly formed granite desk was an elderly man, smiling gently. Where he came from was as much of a mystery as the room itself. "Who are you?" Frey was sure he wouldn't like the answer.
The man smiled, his white beard bunching with the movement. "I am the Recorder." The man's voice was strong and young sounding. He sounded as if he were in his prime, but looked as if he was near death. "You have a story to tell. A story that has no witnesses, but still a story that needs telling."
"What story?" Frey had never told a story in his life. He couldn't even remember any of the ones he had been told as a child.
The man gestured and a granite chair rose from the floor in front of Frey. "The story of your death."
Frey sat down on the hard chair. So he was dead after all. "Why would you want to know about my death?"
The man traced a rectangle on the desk with his finger. "The death of a Hunter is a great thing. I record those stories for redistribution. Every world will know of your final story."
Frey swallowed hard at the implications of what the man had just said. There were other worlds. "What's so special about people who hunt?"
The rectangle on the desk cracked and rose up, forming into a normal looking book. "Not a person who hunts; a Hunter. Someone who is special. Someone who may be of use in the Final Days." The man opened the book and pointed to a page that was completely blank, save for a single name. "Godfrey the Tracker. That is you, is it not?"
Frey stared at the page. Godfrey the Tracker could be any number of people on any number of worlds, but he could feel something emanating from the page. Whatever the book looked like, there was definitely something magical about it. He felt that the page referred to him, and him alone. "How could I help in the 'Final Days'?" He had no idea what that was, but he was sure he wouldn't be very useful.
Amazingly, words scribbled themselves onto the page in a metallic blue ink. A Tracker can find the Key.
He blinked. The book had just "spoken" to him. "What's the Key?"
Once again, the words scribbled into existence. Once again, he found himself wondering why he was so accepting of this situation. The time will come for the Key. Now is the time for the story of Godfrey the Tracker's death.
The man turned the book back around. "The book is right. I wish to hear the story before we continue. Sit back, relax, and tell me your final story."
Frey leaned back in the chair, amazed at how comfortable it suddenly seemed. He still didn't understand all of this, but he knew the conversation wouldn't stray. If he wanted answers, he would have to tell his story. "Well, it starts a few days ago..."
A/N: This is the beginning of the Monster Hunter collection of stories. Each story will be about a different "Hunter". Most of them will be hunting some kind of magical creature. And all of them will die at the end of the story. Some stories will be 1 chapter long, some will be multiple chapters long, and some will be nearly the length of a small book. The limit rests only with my imagination and patience to continue the collection. If you have a story that fits within the parameters of this collection; feel free to add it once the currently posted story ends. This collection is planned to be never-ending and just as an outlet when I can't focus on my other works. To that end – Frey's story is slow going, but I am working on it. If you finish something before I do, feel free to post it first.

Just popping in to wish everybody a very good Friday (pun intended) and an even good (er) Easter. We have all sorts of fun shenanigans happening this weekend, including an Easter lunch at Chipotle. All signs are pointing to that decision being the best one I have ever made in my life. I'll confirm that for you on Sunday at 1:00 pm right after I drown myself in rice, beans, and chips.
"For God so loved the world that he gave us Chipotle.." Amen.
While I'm out gallivanting around, I figured I would leave you with the chance to win $350 just for following a few of us twit heads on twitter (find me @livinginyellow). If you're lucky, maybe we will arrange for the blue twitter bird to drop the cash off at your doorstep. Hopefully he doesn't accidentally run into your glass patio door on it's way, I hate when that happens.
I'm off to tell myself that I should have worked out while I sit in the bath instead. Happy weekend loves.

Adult Users Say ... I Am Very Aware of How Specific Exercises Help Me in My Job
When I interviewed for my current job as a Construction Field Engineer, I was asked to take an aptitude test. I was told that very few people got halfway through the test. I completed 49 out of 50 questions and received one of the highest scores ever. Having used BrainWare Safari, I was able to process and respond quickly. I am very aware of how specific exercises help me in my job role. The directionality and visualization exercises have made it is easy for me to direct a co-worker right or left to set up instrumentation in the field even if I am not facing the same direction. And the scanning exercises help with noticing small details in drawings. To me, BrainWare breaks down the basic building blocks of thinking and learning."

Away from fireworks for a minute & on to thunderstorms. It was so hot & dry here that about 1/2 hour before it actually started to rain....you could see what looked like fine rain in the air - in other words it looked like rain falling down but, it was pre-evaporated rain coming down. Not only was it NOT wetting the sidewalks and the street but, when I went out in it and put my arms out they didn't even get or feel wet even the slightest bit.
It was the strangest thing.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two weeks ago, the Colts faced Terrelle Pryor, who is a running quarterback but more in the improvising kind of way.
On Sunday, they are set to face a real read-option quarterback: the 49ers' Colin Kaepernick.
"You've got to be disciplined," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "You've got to be focused. You've got to be on the same page. You've got to communicate. Guys got to be in the right spots."
Kaepernick is a better passer than Pryor, who threw for 217 yards to go with 112 rushing yards against the Colts. Kaepernick threw for a career-high 412 yards in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers; he averaged 6.6 yards per rush last season.
Kaepernick struggled last week against Seattle, throwing for only 127 yards on 13-of-28 passing, with three interceptions, in the loss.
"Just make sure he's not comfortable," defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois, a teammate of Kaepernick's last season in San Francisco, said of Indianapolis' approach. "Make sure you get him off his point. If you let him stay on his point, as you can see with the Green Bay game, he can get to rolling. Then if you let him add his legs, you know he's got the most ridiculous stride, almost like he's Usain Bolt running."
That's the right strategy to have, but it'll be difficult for the Colts to pull off if they're missing key defensive players.
Starting linebacker Pat Angerer (knee) and safeties Antoine Bethea (toe) and LaRon Landry (ankle) didn't practice Thursday. Landry already has two touchdown-saving tackles this season. He leads the league in tackles with 26. Bethea is tied for 15th with 18.
"All 11 guys have to be on the same page, and all 11 guys got to be doing their job," Pagano said. "You can go back to when I was playing -- it was wishbone; you take care of the dive, then you take care of the quarterback, then you take care of the pitch. You don't see as much of the pitch, obviously, in pro football right now with the read-option. But you got to have guys in place, and sometimes more than just one assigned to any aspect of the option."
