Guess the sport. "Gillies got a good left in there, he staggered him a little bit," enthuses the commentator, "but Godard finally gets a right hand loose for an uppercut – both these guys are willing combatants." Heavyweight boxing? Or some trendy version of all-in fighting? You're nearly right. The correct answer is ice hockey, as practised in the National Hockey League.
Godard is Eric Godard, a winger for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Gillies is Trevor Gillies, a centre for the New York Islanders. Far more important than their ostensible positions, however, is the fact that both are "enforcers" – the hard men that are a requisite of every NHL franchise, whose real job is to protect colleagues, settle scores and generally dish out GBH as needed.
And both could indeed be heavyweight fighters, each over 6ft 3in and tipping the scales at 16 stone-plus. But on the now infamous night of 11 February, their private set-to (scored, incidentally, as a draw by most analysts) wasn't the main event.
The Penguins and the Islanders have a good deal of previous, to put it mildly. When the teams had met in Pittsburgh six days earlier in a notably bad-tempered encounter, the Pittsburgh goalie skated to centre ice in the final seconds to fell his opposite number with a single left hook.
On 11 February, therefore, there were grudges by the truckful to be settled, and they were. The actual hockey game ended in a 9-3 blowout for the Islanders, but the statistic that really caught the eye was the total of 346 penalty minutes imposed by the NHL on the two teams – not quite a record, but close.
In fact, the Gillies-Godard contest was Queensberry Rules gentlemanly compared with a couple of mass brawls on either side of it. "This is old-time hockey," the commentator noted approvingly amid the mayhem, as the home fans raised the roof. The match officials meanwhile looked on.
This time, however, the tolerant NHL was not pleased. It fined the Islanders $100,000, suspending Godard and Gillies for 10 and nine games respectively. And the episode may not be forgotten lightly. Once again the question is being asked of the NHL, more loudly than ever: is violence in North American professional hockey out of control and a threat to its very future?
Even without the brawls, hockey has always been bruising and sometimes dangerous. It could not be otherwise, with large, heavily muscled athletes careening around an enclosed rink as they fight for a bone-hard slab of rubber travelling at speeds of up to 90 miles an hour.
Like American football, hockey has bred a macho culture. But the Penguins and Islanders stretched that culture to the limit. "Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be," said Mario Lemieux, principal owner of the Penguins and one of the greatest players in NHL history. "But what happened wasn't hockey. It was a travesty. It was painful to watch the game I love turn into a sideshow like that."
To which some hockey fans initially responded: you hypocrite. Lemieux might be a legend, but was he not also the employer of one Matt Cooke, among the most fearsome of NHL enforcers, whose vigilante justice for the Penguins in the earlier game helped stoke the fires of 11 February? More to the point, violence and fights are one of the game's big attractions.
The formula seems to work. After the nadir of the lockout that cost the entire 2004-05 season, hockey has rebounded strongly. Attendances are up, and in 2010-11 revenues are forecast to hit a record $2.9bn.
To those who complain the NHL turns a blind eye to the mayhem, the league's commissioner, Gary Bettman, has a simple answer. "What would happen if we took out a part of the game that has always been there, we just don't know," he said. "But all our research finds that fans understand that it's part of the game, and they don't want to see it removed."
Nowhere is that truer than Canada, where hockey is the national sport. The world sees Canadians as gentle souls but Canadian repressions seem to find outlet in its excessive physicality. Indeed, in hockey's frontier era a century ago, a couple of Canadian players even clubbed an opponent to death with their sticks. Both were charged with manslaughter but both were acquitted – as the defence lawyer argued in one trial: "A manly nation requires manly sports." By contrast, the loudest tut-tutting about rink violence comes from that gunslingers' paradise to the south.
Now, though, it is asked, why is this the only sport where players are allowed to carry out their own justice? After all, if Messrs Godard and Gillies were real boxers, they would expect the referee to enforce the rules. Increasingly, too, people realise that violent sports can exact a terrible price. The NHL faces similar risks to the NFL as a result of head checks of the type more than once seen in the 11 February donnybrook.
And now there is a star exhibit to prove the point – one that may well have inspired Lemieux's outburst. The NHL's current marquee player is the 23-year-old Sidney Crosby, the Penguins forward. Since early January, however, he has not played because of a concussion due to heavy, though not illegal, hits in successive games. The NHL may be on sounder footing these days, but it can't afford to lose the likes of Crosby for long.
Heated exchanges on ice
5 March 2004
Philadelphia Flyers v Ottawa Senators
A four-minute mass brawl earned the teams a record combined 419 penalty minutes. By the end of the game, with 20 players ejected, there was a total of five players left to skate.
16 February 2004
Todd Bertuzzi (Vancouver Canucks) v Steve Moore (Colorado Avalanche)
Bertuzzi had been after Moore all game, and finally connected with a punch to the back of the head which knocked him out. Bertuzzi then fell on to Moore, crushing his face against the ice. Moore had three fractured vertebrae, vertebral ligament damage and a grade three concussion, while Bertuzzi lost $500,000 in earnings as a result of his suspension. It was the end of Moore's career.
26 March 1997
Detroit Red Wings v Colorado Avalanche
The game dubbed "Bloody Wednesday", with both sides seeking revenge from a brawl the previous year, featured a total of nine one-on-one fights, including the opposing goalies Patrick Roy and Mike Vernon squaring up, plus the obligatory bouts of all-in mayhem.
4 February 1994
Marty McSorley (Pittsburgh Penguins)
v Bob Probert (Detroit Red Wings)
The long-anticipated match-up between McSorley and Probert is said to be one of the longest tow-to-toe fights in NHL history. The referees were reluctant to get involved and the players on the bench merely watched as both men slogged it out for over 90 seconds.

You cannot combine the queries and you cannot use multi searcher or parallel multi searcher. You need to search two indexes independently and sequentially.

Gore District Council events and promotions coordinator Emma Carlé hopes every organisation, club and education facility in the District would enter a float this year.
"It's a great opportunity to promote your services, it's free, and fun," she said.
"This is a chance to really let loose and use all that pent up creativity. If you know how to weld, how to sew, even if you're into body painting, go for it.
"The more creative the floats the better the parade.
"There are great prizes for the best floats and there will be a people's choice vote this year," Ms Carlé said.
"A float could be a fleet of bicycles, old shopping trollies, cars, trucks or even people on foot, so don't be put off if you don't have access to a trailer," Ms Carlé said.
If anyone didn't have the time or materials to create a float it was possible to borrow floats from the Southland Santa Parade for a fee, she said.
Following the Christmas Parade everyone heads to the Gore Gardens for an afternoon of fun and entertainment starting at 2.00pm. The afternoon celebrates local entertainers and gives people the chance to enjoy both traditional and modern Christmas songs. Lay out a picnic blanket and relax amongst the beautiful trees, while children enjoy all the free activities on offer. Food is available for purchase.

when the intervention of society... may be too late to prevent an injury.
Folks tend to be a lot more practical down this way. Except maybe the retirees from out of the area who move down from NVA and points further north.
That is truly fantastic. I am glad someone in his position is doing something positive for the citizens in his community. You all are very fortunate to have him for Sheriff.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...
Alabama Constitution of 1901 - That every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.
Sounds like a great Sheriff you all have there.
Now, if other Sheriffs and LEO in OC States openly promote in large community events the State's OC and CC awareness to the public.
EDIT: Just realized someone else answered with this same response. Cheers!

Dickason said, "Everybody would like to play here. There"s lots of (security) experience in this country plus international experience have been brought in. Still some fine-tuning needs to be done here and everyone acknowledges that," the Dawn quoted him, as saying.
Dickason has been hired by the Australia, England and New Zealand cricket boards to assess security measures ahead of September's tournament.
Dickason had previously visited with the New Zealand cricket team as security manager in 2002.
"I had met some security consultants and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials who have been very helpful," Dickason stated.
"I will be having more meetings as the Champions Trophy is still two to three months away."
Last week, the ICC said Pakistan remained the first choice venue for the Champions Trophy, but would continue to monitor the security situation.
Sri Lanka was put on standby as an alternative host. Players from Australia, New Zealand and England have expressed reservations about the security situation in Pakistan ahead of the limited-overs tournament involving the world"s top eight teams.
Dickason will submit his security report to Cricket Australia (CA), New Zealand Cricket (NZC) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) over the next two weeks.
The Pakistan government had promised high security for the participating teams at all three proposed match venues – Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore.
Earlier this year, Australia pulled out of their tour to Pakistan on security grounds following the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and a state-of-emergency surrounding national elections.
Australia will now play the five-match one-day series in March 2009 before returning for the Test series in 2010.
ICC hires SA firm for security assesment: Amid security apprehension expressed by a couple of senior Aussie cricketers ahead of Champions Trophy, the ICC has reportedly hired a South African security consultant firm 'Nicholls Steyn and Associates' to make a security assessment in the host country.
The South African firm"s three security experts - Faisul Nagel (Head, Sports Security Division), Bruce Spargo and Steve Stephenson (Stadium Security Consultants) - are in Pakistan to oversee the security arrangements.
The security firm is likely to submit its final report within a fortnight after the Asia Cup, and on the basis of this report a final decision to award the Champions Trophy (to Pakistan) would be taken, reported the Dawn.
On Sunday, they preferred to remain to themselves for their work rather than having PCB officials with them. Having provided protective services to the highest level of clientele in a variety of countries, the South Africa-based company"s co-owner Robert (Bob) Nichollas is also set to visit Pakistan next week, added the paper.
The ICC consultants are likely to remain in Pakistan till the Asia Cup is over. They have finished their assessment tour of Lahore and Rawalpindi.

A 'Little House On The Prairie Movie' Is Happening
A "Little House on the Prairie" movie is in the works that will bring the TV series which originally aired in the 1970s and 80s to the big screen.
The series which made Melissa Gilbert a child star, was based on the classic children's books by Laura Ingalls Wilder set in the 1880s in the American Midwest.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Rudin is attached to produce, Sean Durkin attached to direct, with Abi Morgan to pen the script.
The original TV series aired on NBC between 1974 and 1983.
Yes, FOUR. The original one in WIsconsin, one when they move to Kansas, one when they move to Plum Creek, one when they move North Dakota. Can you even imagine having to build ONE house? I definitely can't.
Severe shaking, fever, chills and no modern medicine? No thanks. (Little House on the Prairie)
Can you even imagine all of your work being totally destroyed? Also basically losing a ton of income in one go?(I guess it's kind of like being in the stock market today...But if you have no CHOICE but to be in the stock market.) (Little House on the Prairie)
WHAT?! Another insane illness? This is just too much. AND MARY GOES BLIND! OH MY GOD! (By the Shores of Silver Lake) Also, though the family thinks that Mary's blindness was caused by SCARLET fever, medical experts are now saying that it probably wasn't. Apparently, at the time there were many misdiagnoses of different types of fevers. Experts think that the family may have had a "brain fever," which could have caused Mary's blindness.
Beloved Jack, the bulldog, dies. HOW TERRIBLE. However, according to the always reliable Wikipedia, the dog that Jack was based on was no longer with the family at this point. However, the author inserted his death at this point to serve as a transition between her childhood and her adolescence. CLEVER, MRS. WILDER! (By the Shores of Silver Lake)
Being trapped in the same house with the same people for seven months sounds like the setting for a horror movie. In fact, it's essentially the set up of The Shining. (The Long Winter)
So actually, as a carb queen, potatoes and bread sound really delicious, but I don't think eating only that for 7 months would be appealing. Neither would starving, which is what a lot of other people in the town were doing. (The Long Winter)
Especially paying to send your daughter to a school for the blind. The family had to raise crops (that were then eaten by blackbirds) AND sell their beautiful little calf in order to send Mary to college. (Little Town on the Prairie).

The Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Alban Bagbin, has re-assured Ghanaians that there was nothing fishy going on, so far as the STX housing deal was concerned, and that anyone who tries to cash in on the situation, will be caught.
Speaking in an interview with The Chronicle in Accra yesterday, Bagbin stated that all was set for the project to take off, as the government had completed all the paper work.
According to him, the final agreement would be signed this month by the Korean counterparts.
According to him, after approval by Parliament, there was the need to gazette notification, which is published in the national gazette, to give notice to the country and the world at large, that the government was committed to implementing the project.
Mr. Bagbin mentioned that there was the need to implement the basic terms of the agreement, by preparing a document called the EPC, which captures the engineering and all the procurement processes and actual construction of the houses.
He mentioned that the government also had to look for security protective measures like the performance bonds, which are not done in parliament.
He revealed that the signing ceremony, which was supposed to take place at the Vice President's office, was called off, because the EPC documents had not been gone through by the relevant authorities.
On September 20, 2010, a ceremony at the Castle, for the Korean firm and the government to sign the deal, was rescheduled, because of some anomalies they detected.
Consequently, the issues were referred to the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice for fine-tuning, to pave the way for the construction of 30,000 housing units for the security agencies.

Continuing to bring the most exciting authors direct to young readers around the country, the next Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour will see award-winning literary sensation Patrick Ness touring round six Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire secondary schools from 23rd to 25th of November 2010.
The London-based writer will be discussing his Chaos Walking trilogy (The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer, and Monsters of Men) which has won numerous awards including the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, the BookTrust Teenage Prize and the Costa Children's Book Award. Monsters of Men has been shortlisted for the 2010 Children's Book of the Year in the Galaxy National Book Awards to be announced on November 10th.
Patrick was born on a Virginia army base in the United States. His father was a drill sergeant in the US Army and the family moved many times as he grew up. As a child he entertained himself by making up stories but was too embarrassed to show anyone. He admits to being a goth as a teenager (as much of a goth as he could be in Tacoma, Washington) but is definite that he's grown out of it. Although he was accepted to film school he gave this up to study writing.
The Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour is run by Scottish Book Trust, Scotland's leading agency for the promotion of literature, reading and writing. The tour aims to bring the best children's authors directly to young readers around Scotland bringing literature alive in the way that meeting the person who crafted the words can only do.
The collaboration between Scottish Friendly and Scottish Book Trust was recently recognised by Arts & Business Scotland who awarded the partnership the Young People Award (23rd September 2010).
Calum Bennie, marketing manager at Scottish Friendly, which has sponsored the touring programme for over 11 years said: "I'm always thrilled when we're able to announce each Children's Book Tour author and we're so pleased to be bringing one of the most talked-about authors to young readers in Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire for these dates."
Chris Newton of the Scottish Book Trust added: "It is our immense pleasure to have the phenomenal Patrick Ness on the Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour and to be visiting pupils in West Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire. It is our mission to inspire young people across the country through reading, writing and imagery and Patrick's amazing Chaos Walking trilogy of books fit perfectly with that."

Corporation Income TaxThe Franchise Tax Board (FTB) administers an 8.84% tax (known as the Bank and Corporation Franchise Tax) on net corporate income.
California S Corporations are subject to a tax rate of 1.5% on net income.California uses the unitary method to determine the portion of income reasonably attributable to this state and thus subject to the Bank and Corporation Franchise Tax. Corporations deriving income from sources both within and outside the state are required to report the income of all related business units in a combined report. The combined income derived from all business activity is apportioned to each state or nation using an apportionment formula.The percentage of property, payroll, and sales attributed to California, versus worldwide operations, is calculated. They are then added together, with double weight given to sales, and divided by four.This calculation determines the percentage of the unitary or combined income subject to California's bank and corporation franchise tax.Apportionment Formula = percentage of unitary income subject to California's corporate tax:California California California CaliforniaPayroll Property Sales Sales( percent) + ( percent) + ( percent) + ( percent)Multinational corporations may make a "Water's Edge" election whereby they exclude most income derived from foreign operations from the combined report. Foreign business units or corporations that have an apportionment percentage in excess of 20% must be included in the combined report. The election lasts for seven years, but is continuously renewed unless a notice of non-renewal is filed by the business.Effective January 1, 2011 California businesseshave to option to select a Single Sales Factor. This allows companies to choose to weigh only sales made in the state - not property or payroll -to determine corporate taxes owed.Sales and Use TaxAdministered by the Board of Equalization, the State of California imposes a sales and use tax that is 7.25%. In addition local counties and cities can add a percentage to the State tax which is currently averaging 1.00%. The sales tax applies to the gross receipts of retailers from the sale of tangible personal property which is not specifically exempt. Specific exemptions include most food for home consumption and prescription medicine. Sales tax is imposed at the point of sale. It is the responsibility of the retailer, but paid by the purchaser. Use tax is paid on items purchased for the intent of use in California. Intent of use is defined as used in California within 90 days of purchase. The tax is self-reported and paid at the rate applicable in the jurisdiction in which the item will be used less the tax paid in another state.Note: Construction materials are not exempt from sales tax and construction labor is not taxed.
Property TaxesCounty government levies and administers property taxes. The State Board of Equalization performs an oversight role relative to county assessors' activities. Property tax is levied on 100% of assessed valuation. The tax rate is 1% plus a component representing bonded indebtedness for the district in which the property is located on the lien date. The average property tax rate in California is 1.1%, but varies on a parcel basis.Real property is appraised upon change of ownership or new construction, and then adjusted annually at the lower of 2% or the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Assessed values on real property may be reduced if the value is higher than the current market value.Business personal property, including machinery, equipment, and fixtures is taxed at the same rate as real property, but is not subject to any special assessments. Unlike real property, business personal property is reappraised annually. Business owners must file a property statement with the county assessor each year detailing market value.
Finished goods and raw materials are not subject to property tax. Only finished goods held for use are assessed.Unemployment InsuranceAll employers are required to pay into the Unemployment Insurance Fund, which is used to pay unemployment benefits.
