For the second time in franchise history, the Knicks have won six consecutive games by 10 or more points. But with the news of Phil Jackson's impending hiring, the team's current hot streak has become something of an afterthought.
The playoffs are still well within reach with 15 games left to play, though the focus has shifted to the future rather than the present.
Jackson's hiring will become official at a press conference on Tuesday – just a day before a group of fans have scheduled a rally in response to how poorly the team has been ran in recent years – and his accomplishments give the Knicks an instant dose of credibility. At least in the interim, Jackson will go a long way in appeasing a frustrated fan base.
The pairing of Jackson and Carmelo Anthony – who can still opt out of his deal and become a free agent after the season – is an interesting one as the two have a lot more in common than one might think. Just as Anthony is a tremendously gifted player who needs a better team around him in order to win a championship, Jackson will need a strong supporting cast in the front office if he is going to give Anthony the necessary pieces to take the Knicks from a pretender to a contender.
Yes, Jackson has won 11 championship rings as a head coach, but his ability to manage a salary cap or construct a roster remains to be seen. Jackson will serve as the face of the franchise, but whoever is hired, or retained, to help Jackson in these areas will be just as important as the hiring of Jackson himself.
Speculation will run wild in the coming months about which players the team is going to acquire and who should be tasked with coaching the team going forward. If Jackson is as committed to the triangle offense as he's been in the past, a superstar-laden roster won't be as important as finding the right fits to execute the game plan.
As recently as 2012, in an interview for HBO's Real Sports, Jackson said he wouldn't be interested in coaching the Knicks because too much work had to be done. Jackson called the team "clumsy," and said "they don't fit together well."
"[Amar'e] Stoudemire doesn't fit together well with Carmelo," Jackson stated. "Stoudemire's a really good player, but he's got to play in a certain system, in a way. And Carmelo has to be a better passer. The ball can't stop every time it hits his hands."
Unless Jackson is able to step in and make some major trades this offseason, he'll be stuck having to watch essentially the same unit he didn't want to coach for one more season before many of the players on the roster see their contracts expire in the summer of 2015.
Stoudemire, one of the aforementioned players with another year remaining on his contract after this season, has looked rejuvenated since returning to the starting lineup two weeks ago. He's averaging 16.6 points over his last five games – serving as a major catalyst in the team's recently improved play.
Then again, playing against many of the league's lightweights during their six-game winning streak also hasn't hurt in making Stoudemire and the Knicks more closely resemble their former selves.
Before heading out west next week for a five-game road trip, the Knicks will have two more winnable games when they travel to Philadelphia Friday night to take on the dreadful 76ers, and play the Cleveland Cavaliers at home Sunday night.
But first, the Knicks will get the opportunity to impress their new boss right away when the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Pacers come to Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. Should the Knicks be able to claw their way into the playoffs, the Pacers would likely be their opponent in the first round. And what better way to gauge whether or not their current turnaround is for real than against one of the best teams the NBA has to offer?
As much fun as the Knicks have been to watch the past few games, it pales in comparison to the possibilities that await in the years to come. There's no guarantee that Jackson will succeed, but for one of the rare times in recent memory, the Knicks and their fans have a genuine reason to be optimistic.
And for all the tens of millions of dollars owner James Dolan is paying Jackson to change the culture of the franchise, that sort of legitimacy and stability is priceless.

Dual boot issue - please help!
This is my first post so bear with me, I have checked the forum but can't seem to find quite what I need.
I was running Vista, and not liking it too much so I downloaded and installed Windows 7 RC on another partition. Was happily dual booting into both of them until today when I decided to reinstall Vista (I lost my DVD drive when I added 7 and was resorting to reinstalling Vista).
Anyway, Vista reinstalled. Windows 7 sitting there happily on the D drive.
But I cannot get it to dual boot at all.
I have searched high and low and most solutions seem to be adding a legacy OS from Windows 7, not adding Windows 7 from Vista.
I have tried various commands in bcdedit and EasyBCD but not getting anywhere.
I really don't like Vista all that much and really want to get back into Windows 7.
Note, I downloaded the RC so don't have any discs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi barneysmum and welcome to Seven Forums!
Since Windows 7 is still there on your other partition, we should be able to get this sorted out.
There are a couple of tutorials here:
Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and Vista
Default Operating System - Change Default Boot OS
and here - dual boot issue
And you can check out the Microsoft article on using the Bootrec tool - How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows Vista
Let us know if this helps. If it doesn't we'll try some other stuff.
|My System Specs
|11 Oct 2009
Barney, give EasyBCD a try. I find it to be quite easy to restore the dual boot with it.
|My System Specs
|11 Oct 2009
I had tried EasyBCD and followed instructions but it doesn't seem to work very well in creating a Windows 7 entry. It set the path to /ntldr which doesn't exist for Windows 7.
I'm happy sticking with the command line bcdedit, but again, not getting anywhere with it.
I have managed to get it to look like this:
(I have no idea what real-mode boot sector is or how I got that there)
But now at boot, if I select Windows 7 it says digital signatures cannot be verified.
I have no access whatsoever to CDs, even if I did I couldn't use them as the DVD drive stopped working after I put Windows 7 on (the whole reason for this issue now!!).
I must be able to sort this from the command line? But I have no idea how.
|My System Specs
|11 Oct 2009
I didn't have a chance to really look at what you posted, but here is how mine reads. Not sure of anything will jump out at you, but maybe seeing an environment where the dual boot works will jog your memory on something.
|My System Specs

bcdedit /default {current}
bcdedit /delete {48b5etc.}
bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 7"
Will return a {NewID}
bcdedit /set {NewID} device partition=d:
bcdedit /set {NewID} osdevice partition=d:
Check in Disk Management and see which is listed as System partition - better yet, post a screenie of Disk Management window.

Thank you. I just followed all those commands and now I have this:
Just about to reboot and try it.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if the bootmgr partition should be showing as d: ??
|My System Specs

Still getting this on boot:
File: \Windows\System32\winload.exe
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file"
It's not even meant to be checking!! It says to press F8 to continue booting anyway but if I press F8 it just comes back to the same message again and again.

Geo-Portal, 2015
Nickel plated steel, photo-transparency films, mirrored glass, plexiglass, & LEDs, 27.5" x 31.5" x 3.5"
"Geo-Portal" hones in on surface evidence of a geothermal site in Iceland. The images are reworked into a receeding stack of hexagonal rings that are plexi-mounted and backlit, infinitely repeated into an illusive depth. The portal concept is constructed within a mirror polished geometric form that is reminiscent of an abstracted crater or fumerole found among the geographical features of the geothermal site. As the viewer engages the work, reflections of the viewer and the external environment fold and twist into the work.

Wandering through Pastoral Theology
Posted by
Over at the Wanderer Jeremy Walker is doing a series of posts on the A-Z of books on Pastoral Ministry. Believe it or not Jeremy is only in his 30s, the reason I say that being he's read more books than most of us will in two lifetimes, also his prose at times belies a love for all things Banner of Truth and 18th century eloquence. My recent favourite being on Preaching and Preachers 'The result is a book that is in some respects diffuse, but has much profitable counsel', somebody has been sipping on the Joel Beeke kool-aid!!
For all my mocking of Jeremy it's a good series and if you ever need a recommendation for a book, he's the man.

Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner is the product of the
2006 merger of San Francisco's Thelen Reid & Priest and New
York's Brown Raysman Millstein Felder & Steiner. For now, the
firm is still without an official headquartersrather than picking a
favorite, the newly merged firm appointed an office of the chair,
which includes Stephen O'Neal of the San Francisco office and
Julian Millstein of the New York office as co-chairs and Thomas
Hill of the Los Angeles office as managing partner of operations.
Such compromises notwithstanding, like many marriages, this one
apparently got off to a rough start: As the merger approached, the
firm lost 76 attorneysthe second-largest decline of any U.S. firm
in 2006. In 2007, the firm began to refer to itself for branding
purposes as simply "Thelen" (rhymes with "wheelin'").
It seems to have worked: Thelen reported that its firmwide
corporate and asset finance practices had an "exceptionally strong
year" of transactional work in 2007, advising on more than 150
deals valued at approximately $21 billion. Among these deals was
Thelen client Patriot Media Holdings' sale of New Jersey cable
television systems to Comcast Cable Communications Holdings, Inc.
for $490 million. In 2007, the firm's litigators scored a victory
for Celerity in its ongoing battle with its main rival in the
semiconductor industry, Ultra Clean Holdings. At issue were the gas
delivery systems used in fabrication equipment developed by
Celerity and UCT. Celerity claimed that UCT's Ultra Clean ripped
off the technology behind its patents, and in November 2007 a
federal judge in Northern California agreed, granting Celerity's
motion for a permanent injunction..

my new favorite mix up!!!
you need chicken breasts.. grilled
1 box of rice a roni broccoli au gratin
1 cup brown rice
i cant believe its not butter
1 cup steamed broccoli
replace the rice a roni with brown rice and cook it with the i cant... and mixed with chopped chicken and broccli and vuwallaaa killer meal try it out an let me know what you think..
So, you use the spices that come with the Rice-A-Roni, but not the rice that comes in the box?
yeah I just pour the rice that comes in the box out to the trash I don't eat much white rice... its killer also use can't believe its not butter to keep the fat down
wouldn't it be cheaper to just pick up some spices ?
come on cheapskate rice a roni is like 70 cents a box.....
70 cents a box for 10 cents worth of spices :)
You got to tell me where you get your spices. If it's not pepper or salt I end up spending like $4 a small container of good spices.
its well worth the 70cents common... and where are you gonna get that spice neway?
I guess so , but I can spend a couple bucks on some spices (Mrs.Dash - no salt ) and have them last a few months...I guess it's whatever your tastes are, and how fast you go through them.
I just go down to the dollar store, and buy some garlic powder, dried onion flakes, and I'm good. I don't add salt to anything I cook (unless I cook for someone who likes salt) It may seem like a little bit, but it's like paying three times as much for the same thing. Imagine paying $90 for some Protein from some fancy-pants supp. shop, when you can get the same one for $30 from Wal-Mart.

3 Stone Backsplash Ideas for Your Kitchen
When looking for a backsplash that will add a signature look to your kitchen, it's easy to feel a little—or a lot—overwhelmed with all the possibilities. Luckily, you can't go wrong with a stone backsplash. Stone is more than just a passing trend. This neutral, universal look is here to stay, and there's a style, color, and type of stone for any kitchen space. Here are three ideas to get your creative juices flowing as you design your new backsplash.
1. Limestone
Limestone is quickly becoming the stone of choice for many homeowners and designers alike. It gives any home a luxurious look. It's very long-lasting, and its light hues look fantastic when paired with stainless steel. Limestone is also unique because it's made up of shells and traces of fossils. One attractive way to add limestone to your backsplash is to use Stone a'la Mod tile in Basketweave Honed Urban Bluestone. This pattern gives the kitchen backsplash a unique high-end look, and a softly textured limestone countertop adds a classy look and feel to the equation. For a more contemporary twist, combine the same dramatic backsplash with a more subdued ONE Quartz Micro Flecks countertop in Woven Wool.
2. Slate
Slate has a distinctive yet understated look. It works well in both traditional and contemporary kitchen styles, and comes in subtle shades of blue, gray, green, or rose. It's long been a favorite for any type of country-style kitchen but is also a top choice if you're after a more elegant or sleek style. If you decide to go with a slate backsplash, consider going with the Slate Radiance Saddle Staggered Random stacked stone backsplash tile in beautiful shades of brown, taupe, and gray. It can be paired with a Sand Storm ONE Quartz Micro Flecks countertop. For a richer slate stone backsplash, go with Autumn Mist in a brick-joint natural cleft pattern. This backsplash looks great with a coordinating porcelain field tile such as English Grey from the Continental Slate collection. This field tile replicates the same beauty, color, and visual texture of natural slate, and this stunning combo works well with any style.
3. Travertine
Travertine is a traditional material but can still hold its own in a more contemporary kitchen as well. It's elegant and there are many options available for travertine stone backsplashes. One advantage of travertine is that you can create an almost seamless transition from your backsplash to your countertop. Although combining two honed stone materials is a good design tactic, it's also fine to mix honed and polished materials to create an interesting visual. For instance, consider going with a rich honed mosaic like Noce from the Travertine Collection. This material serves as a stunning backdrop for granite in an equally rich brown, or a lighter stone that has rich brown flecks.
It's not hard to find a signature backsplash, but with all the fabulous stone backsplash tile options available it may be a little difficult to make up your mind. When you're ready to find the perfect material, head to your local Daltile stone showroom or slab yard.

How Kate conquered America
The Duchess of Cambridge was a huge hit on her first royal tour, but one day she'll have to show more of the real Kate
Roll out the red carpet, dust off the tiaras, get those fawning profiles down from the shelf: the Royal Family has a new star. Now that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's tour of Canada and California is over, the former Miss Middleton is looking like a woman who can do no wrong.
Beautiful, disarming, assured, she is a one-woman charm offensive. From the backwoods of Canada to the celeb-fests of Hollywood, she won them over with almost unbelievable ease.
Oh, and don't worry, there's a but. There's always a but. First, though, the good stuff.
From the moment she arrived in Ottawa, a dazzling vision of teeth and hair and legs, it was clear that she was a winner. She didn't have to do…

Sean Creadick caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Randy Wright with 35 seconds left Saturday, capping a 16-point fourth quarter that helped UC Davis rally for a 22-21 victory over Cal Poly.
Creadick was held under 100 yards receiving for the first time in five games, but also caught a 16-yard TD in the fourth quarter to bring the Aggies (5-5, 3-1 Great West) within 21-15 with 10:22 remaining. Creadick finished with five receptions for 70 yards while Wright threw for 302 yards.
UC Davis (7-4, 2-2), which led 21-0 in the second quarter, was playing its regular-season finale and hoping to improve its playoff chances. The Mustangs have a bye next Saturday before the FCS playoff pairings are announced Nov. 21.
Mark Rodgers rushed for 102 yards and Jake Romanelli had two rushing touchdowns for UC Davis, which was content to try and run out the clock with its big lead. The Mustangs rushed the ball 53 times for 228 yards.

Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to shut him up, as we now know, thanks to this video of him trying to scream through the duct tape over his mouth.
This is Charles the lion dog. He does look pretty lion-y. It must be even more astounding in person, because one Norfolk, Virginia, resident saw him on the street and called the police, saying there was a lion on the loose and it was potentially looking for food.
Most of the time our fear of heights is ridiculous. We can admit that. This time, however ... BOOM! WE KNEW IT! AIN'T NOBODY SHOULD BE GETTING MARRIED IN A HOT AIR BALLOON!
Al Roker truly is a man of the people. He loses weight. He makes jokes. He video bombs 'Today Show' segments by freezing in place. And apparently he can't resist telling everybody when he has a little accident at the White House. The admission, which came out during an interview on 'Dateline,' has him catching all kinds of flak, but we have to admit we're impressed.
Bless this brave, Australian man -- he has done a service for us all. Here is a video where he says 100 of the worst pickup lines imaginable to women, with varying degrees of rejection resulting.
It's that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012.
This guy's Dad Level = Outer space. With some donated old electronics and a master control board found in a TV station's dumpster, he built his son a spaceship. Then Redditor JeremiahGordon shared his results with the world. We must admit, we're pretty impressed. Take a look!
So Friday, December 21 is maaaaaaaybe going to be the apocalypse because a really old calendar ran out of space. It's already tomorrow in Australia, and people are reporting that it's fine. Of course other people are pointing out that the ancient Mayans weren't really operating on Greenwich Mean Time, so maybe Australia should just cool their jets. Some of us are calmly stuffing as much clothing as possible into our one measly carry-on bag for our Christmas trip home. Other people are taking more drastic measures. Here's how people are getting ready for tomorrow's "apocalypse."
Stick with this one. It's funny enough watching an old man struggle to say "buttery, flaky crust," but this video in its entirety is a comedy masterpiece.
Well, we really hope the Mayans were wrong. We aren't quite ready for the world to end -- we need to know how 'Breaking Bad' ends. Here are some memes to cheer you up and bolster your confidence that we just might see the sun come up on Saturday after all. Enjoy!

The Alouettes quarterback doesn't want to sit at this time of year, even if his team has first place in the East Division locked up with a 13-2 record.
"I want to play," Calvillo said yesterday afternoon at the team's Winnipeg hotel. "Everybody plays with bumps and bruises at this time of the year, and it's just unfair for anybody to sit down, especially with three games to go, just because you got a little injury. I just want to make sure I'm 100%.
"... I don't want to go out there and have this thing nagging for the next two to three weeks going into the playoffs, so I have to be smart about that."
If Calvillo is less than 100%, backup Adrian McPherson will get his first CFL start. McPherson hasn't been told he'll be under centre, but he's talking like he will be.
"I'm preparing myself as if I am," said McPherson, whose last start was in an Arena League game in March 2008. "I'm just looking forward to it. I feel ready."
Montreal head coach Marc Trestman would prefer to see Calvillo, who pulled up lame midway through last week's win over Hamilton, take the controls today.
"We want him to play," Trestman said. I know he wants to play, but we're going to do the right thing with him. He's gotta be 100%."
McPherson, who left Florida State after only two years due to legal troubles, realizes the Bombers probably want to face him instead of Calvillo, and he's just fine with that.
"Where maybe I'm not as experienced, they still have to change up some things," he said. "If I play, they have to have some people spy on me, and if not it can cause problems."
If Calvillo doesn't start today, he'll be the third-stringer behind McPherson and Chris Leak.
LATE HITS: The Alouettes will have a new-look linebacking corps today, as Shea Emry (concussion) and Diamond Ferri (flu) are both out. Walter Spencer will start in the middle, and Ramon Guzman, normally the backup in the middle, will shift outside ... The Bombers are making three roster changes. Punter Troy Westwood, and linebackers Barrin Simpson and Neil McKinlay are in, while receiver Dante Luciani, defensive end Justin Shaw and linebacker Joe Lobendahn (hamstring) are out ... Bombers tailback Fred Reid hasn't had a 100-yard rushing game since his club-record 260-yard performance in August ... The Bombers didn't provide a ticket update yesterday. They had sold 20,012 tickets as of Thursday afternoon, and today's game will be blacked out locally.

The Malik Report
It's official: Henrik Zetterberg is the Red Wings' captain
by George Malik on 01/15/13 at 04:57 PM ET
Comments (5)
Updated 12x at 9:53 PM: Zetterberg presser video up, and Khan says only Datsyuk and Kronwall will wear "A's" this year: The Red Wings just made things official. More Tweets and stuff to come between now and the scrimmage at 6 PM (on FSD and WXYT AM):
Update: Officially, officially official:
Update #2: More from the Wings:
And aside from this Tweet, I'm going to do inline updates from Fox Sports Detroit's Dana Wakiji, who Tweeted the hell out of the presser:
#RedWings Holland: Lot of reasons why next captain -- fierce competitor, bigger the game, better he plays.
#RedWings Holland: Tremendous intensity, goes to all the hard areas, one of best 2-way forwards in the world.
#RedWings Holland: Understands the responsibility of being captain of the Detroit Red Wings.
#RedWings Holland: Z's a role model on and off the ice.
#RedWings Zetterberg: Lucky to have leaders in the locker room.
#RedWings Zetterberg: Together we will carry on the tradition.
#RedWings Zetterberg: Said he's humbled by the honor.
#RedWings Zetterberg: Has a lot to do with guy sitting next to me (Holland, keeping winning going).
#RedWings Zetterberg: Of course it's a very special day,
#RedWings Zetterberg: Kenny actually beat me on golf course and told me I was going to be captain. Called my dad right away and he was proud
#RedWings Zetterberg: I think we've been together 7 years so you get comfortable (w/Babcock). Sometimes he can get mad at me and I at him.
#RedWings Zetterberg: You shouldn't be afraid to speak your mind (to Babcock).
#RedWings Zetterberg: I talked to Nick before I came over here. Just playing with Nick for all my career, just to see how he handled himself
#RedWings Zetterberg: Just lead by example, that's what he did. I played with many good leaders since I got here. Not just Stevie and Nick.
#RedWings Zetterberg: You try to take bits and pieces from all the players you played with.
#RedWings Zetterberg: I was captain in Sweden for Timra for a couple months.
#RedWings Zetterberg: The more you play, the more you learn. I feel comfortable now for this task.
RedWings Babcock: Fierce, competitors, great, great people.
Update #3: The Red Wings' website has posted a Red Wings captains gallery, an article from Bill Roose pondering what awaits Zetterberg, via a conversation with Larry Murphy...
"What I see in him is a player with a lot of poise, composure, the ability to come up big in crucial situations, great work ethic, somebody that the players really respect," Murphy said. "I wouldn't put him in the rah-rah category, but he's somebody whose words are meaningful and very affective."
Since Nicklas Lidstrom announced last summer that he was retiring from the game after 20 seasons – including the last six as the Wings' captain – the spotlight of speculation shined on Zetterberg as the obvious choice to take the leadership reins.
It was apparent that Zetterberg was being groomed as Lidstrom's successor when four years ago the Red Wings made a long-term commitment to the former seventh-round draft pick. During the 2008-09 season, the Wings announced that they signed Zetterberg to a 12-year deal worth $73 million, which is the longest and most-lucrative contract in club history.
The trust and respect that the organization and teammates have for him speaks volumes for Zetterberg, who was a virtual unknown in most hockey circles before 1999, when the Wings used the 210th pick in the NHL draft on him. Since the league instituted the amateur draft in 1963, Zetterberg is just the 11th drafted player appointed team captain of the Wings.
Whether or not Zetterberg feels he must reprove himself in his new role as the franchise's next captain, Murphy isn't so sure, saying he believes the Swedish center authenticated those traits years ago.
"One of the things that management considers is how will the player deal with it?" Murphy said. "But Zetterberg is a guy that has the stuff, and he'll take it in full stride and excel in that role. He's mentally tough and he'll be able to deal with it.
"For me, I still don't know how he got picked so low, that's how I look at it."
While every captain prefers to lead in his own way, Murphy expects Zetterberg may be like two greats that he played with on Stanley Cup winning teams in Pittsburgh and Detroit.
"He's a guy whose actions speak volumes, a guy like Mario Lemieux," Murphy said. "Mario was a guy who was very selective in what he said, and in his play he was a guy that would go out there and you could count on him in critical situations to lead the charge. I look at him and I look at Stevie Yzerman in the same sense as they led by example quite a bit. Like Zetterberg, they each had something to say, but they live the game on and off the ice and they're leaders in that department. Guys really respect that and that's the type of captain you want."
As well as an article in which Roose speaks to the Wings players about their new captain:
"It's a great choice, Wings forward Daniel Cleary said. "The biggest thing for me is that he's so unselfish. He's such a personable guy. He's a star. He's got great talent on the ice, but he's very respectful off the ice and he's vocal when he needs to be and he leads by example."
When it comes to speaking his mind, the 32-year-old Zetterberg is probably more like Yzerman than his fellow countryman. Zetterberg isn't afraid to tell it like it is, and because of that, coupled with his immense talent, he garners plenty of respect from both teammates and coaches.
"He and I have a relationship where he doesn't mind getting mad at me and I don't mind getting mad at him," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "I don't have any problem with that. He doesn't mind standing up for the guys and telling you want he thinks. And I think that's so important for us."
Practically every year since winning the 2002 Stanley Cup with a roster comprised by a litany of future hall-of-famers, so called hockey experts have forecasted a decline for the Red Wings. Fortunately, while players like Yzerman, Lidstrom, Brendan Shanahan, Sergei Fedorov, Dominik Hasek, Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille have moved on, Wings general manager Ken Holland has continued to find pieces that have complimented an always strong core of talented players.
The Red Wings' success is in the numbers. Since the 1999-00 season, they have produced a NHL-record 12 straight 100-point campaigns, while capturing the Stanley Cup three times, the President's Trophy four times and the Central Division title nine times And Zetterberg has played his part in the Wings' success since his arrival to Hockeytown in 2002. In nine seasons, the Swedish star has bolted up the franchise's all-time scoring lists. He's currently ranked No. 10 in goals (252), assists (372) and points (624), and he's fourth all-time with 50 game-winning goals, trailing only Yzerman (94), Shanahan (79) and Fedorov (63).
In the playoffs, Zetterberg has routinely ramped up his game, producing 51 goals and 51 assists, and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the 2008 playoff MVP.
"Hank was around Stevie and then he was around Nick," Babcock said. "I mean, to me, those guys, Pavel (Datsyuk), all of those guys have been around winning. You don't win by accident. We're in the playoffs all of the time, we're had some heart-breaking years where we thought we had a real good time and it didn't happen. Other years we've gone a long way. The reality is you've been around winning you learn what winning is about and that's your best people being your best people and leading in the weight room and leading in off-ice and leading in nutrition department. So the bottom line is he's seen it all. He's like a coach on the ice. He has a real good read of the game."...
"I think Hank's been groomed to be our captain for many, many years now," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "Ever since he got in here, he sat beside Stevie and learned a lot from him. Hank, he's been a captain for many years even though he hasn't had the 'C.' Of course we had Nick but Hank is just as good a leader and he brings it every night. That's what you want from your leader."
WXYZ's Brad Galli is confirming...
In an announcement Tuesday afternoon in front of his teammates, head coach Mike Babcock, and the rest of the Red Wings staff, the 32-year old became just the third Red Wings captain in the last 27 years.
"It's a true honor. Together we will carry on the tradition," Zetterberg said.
Zetterberg follows in the footsteps of Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom, who led Detroit to a total of four Stanley Cup championships.
"It's a very special day," he said. "Playing with Nick all my career, you just learn to lead by example."
"This has been the evolution of a leader," General Manager Ken Holland said.
Many of his teammates said Zetterberg possesses the qualities of his two predecessors, but he will be heard more loudly.
"Z's gonna be definitely more vocal for us," goaltender Jimmy Howard said. "He's been a leader for us now for years and I think he's gonna transition very easily."
As is the Free Press's Helene St. James...
"We're here today to announce the next captain of the Red Wings, Henrik Zetterberg," general manager Ken Holland said.
"He deserve it," close friend and alternate captain Pavel Datsyuk said. "He leader in locker room, out of locker room. It's hit to target - exactly right decision."
Zetterberg, 32, takes over from Nicklas Lidstrom, who retired last May.
It's been widely known that Zetterberg was the heir apparent to lead the club, but the team didn't want to announce it last summer, and then came the 113-day lockout.
Instead the press conference came at a time when Zetterberg could be surrounded by teammates, about an hour before the evening's Red and White scrimmage.
The Wings have groomed Zetterberg for the position for years, going back to the middle of the last decade, when they moved Zetterberg's locker next to that of former great Steve Yzerman, who captained the team for 20 years. Yzerman and Lidstrom were both quiet men who knew the best way to lead was to show the way.
It's hard to make comparisons. Nick was unique, like, even like Stevie, they led by example on and off the ice. When something needed to be said, they said it.
"I think for a captain," Daniel Cleary said, "all you look for is you look for the players to respect you, and you lead by example by working hard and being an honest player and treating people with respect. And that's what I know Stevie did and Nick did and I know Hank will."
And MLive's Brendan Savage is confirming...
His appointment was announced this afternoon in a news conference at Compuware Arena, where the Red Wings are holding training camp.
"He's not afraid to communicate," said coach Mike Babcock. "He doesn't mind getting mad at me one bit. He's just not shy about what he thinks. We've had a relationship like that for a long time. We have a good guy who's a real good human being, who loves hockey, who has a mind for the game, he's really good to his teammates and he's demanding of himself and he doesn't mind speaking his mind. To me, that's pretty good leadership. We got a pretty good guy there.''
Defenseman Niklas Kronwall and forward Pavel Datsyuk will serve as the Red Wings' alternate captains. There's a possibility the Red Wings will have a third alternate but that hasn't been announced yet.
In 82 games last season, Zetterberg had 22 goals and 47 assists. In 668 career games with the Red Wings, he has 252 goals and 372 assists.
He was a member of the Red Wings 2008 Stanley Cup championship team.
Via RedWingsFeed, here's the Detroit News's Ted Kuflan's story...
Henrik Zetterberg was officially named the 36th captain of the Red Wings Tuesday during a press conference at Compuware Arena.
Zetterberg succeeds Nicklas Lidstrom, who retired after last season.
"I'm truly honored to be named the captain for the Red Wings," Zetterberg said. "I'm really, really humbled."
The Wings believe Zetterberg , 32, has all the characteristics to be an outstanding leader. He learned under two of the franchise's all-time greats, Steve Yzerman and Lidstrom, the two previous captains.
"I'm sure some of Hank's leadership ideas will come from the time he spent with those two leaders," general manager Ken Holland said. "There's a lot of reasons we feel Hank should be our next captain. He's a fierce competitor; the bigger game the better he plays. We look for everyday players, and Hank competes every day in practice and in the games. He leads by example."
And MyFoxDetroit is confirming as well:
Forward Henrik Zetterberg was named the new captain of the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.
Zetterberg succeeds fellow Swede Nicklas Lidstrom as the Red Wings newest captain. Lidstrom retired in May after wearing the 'C' in Detroit for six seasons following the retirement of Steve Yzerman, who was the longest-serving captain in NHL history when he hung up his skates in 2006.
Zetterberg, 32, is entering his 10th NHL season – all with Detroit – and was an easy choice to replace Lidstrom since he has the respect of not only his fellow players but the Red Wings coaching staff as well.
His appointment was announced this afternoon in a news conference at Compuware Arena, where the Red Wings are holding training camp.
Update #4: Via RedWingsFeed, the NHL Network has a clip of Zetterberg's speech up:
Update #5: Fox 2's Dan Miller directs us toward the full presser:
Update #6: Here's DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose's after-the-presser Zetterberg article:
"Of course, it's a very special day becoming captain," Zetterberg said. "First, Kenny (Holland) beat me on the golf course and he told me that I was going to be the next captain, it was a few months ago. I called my dad right away and told him and he was real proud. So it is special and I'm glad the day is here and we're back playing again. And I look forward to getting going on Saturday."
Zetterberg was introduced at a news conference prior to Tuesday's intra-squad scrimmage at Compuware Arena in suburban Detroit. He is just the third captain since the 1986-87 season when Steve Yzerman took over the captaincy from Danny Gare.
This, however, is not the first time that Zetterberg has worn a 'C' on his sweater. He was captain for a short time back home during the 2001-02 Swedish Elite League season.
"I was captain in Sweden for Timra for a couple of months before I came over here," he said. "I think I got a little bit used to the media thing over there before I came over here. I think also, the more you play the more you play in those situations as a leader and you learn more and more. It's all about experience. I feel comfortable now for this task. I learned a lot throughout my years and I'm looking forward to getting the season started."
This week, coach Mike Babcock eluded to his seven year player-coach relationship that he has with Zetterberg, who summed it up by saying, "Sometimes he can get real mad at me and I get real mad at him, but end of the day, it's just hockey and we figure it out. It's important to have an honest relationship and you shouldn't be afraid to speak your mind."
"Just playing with Nick for my whole career here, just to see how he prepares himself, how he handled himself on and off the ice, and just lead by example and that's what he did," Zetterbreg said. "I played with many good leaders since I got here and not just Stevie and Nick. There was (Kris) Draper, (Chris) Chelios, there are so many guys that I played with that you learn from. So you try to take bits and pieces from all the guys that you play with and they really formed the player who I am now."
For Babcock, the three captains that he's coached during his tenure in Detroit all have the same traits.
"I guess the things that jump to mind for me is fierce, fierce competitors," he said. "(They're) Great, great people and guys who put the team first and can speak for the team and treat their teammates right. So those are three things that I would say right off the top of my head."
Update #7: Very important, from MLive's Ansar Khan:
The game will go on without Lidstrom and Holmstrom, just as it did when Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan, leaders of Detroit's late 1990s and early 2000s dynasty, left the team in 2006.
"Steve Yzerman retired and all of a sudden, up front it became Pav (Pavel Datsyuk) and Z's team," Holland said. "He's obviously a big reason we've been able to be competitive since '05. He's played with two incredible leaders in Steve and Nick. He's a great player. He plays hard every day in practice. He's a great two-way player. He sets the tone."
Wings coach Mike Babcock likes that he can challenge Zetterberg, and that Zetterberg feels confident enough to challenge him. Neither is afraid to get up into each other's grill, but neither of them ever takes their verbal jousting personally.
"He's not afraid to communicate," Babcock said. "He doesn't mind getting mad at me one bit. He's just not shy about what he thinks. He gets mad at me, I get mad at him, but no one holds a grudge. We've had a relationship like that for a long time. He's demanding of himself and he doesn't mind speaking his mind. He cares about his teammates and he's got a good hockey mind. To me, that's pretty good leadership. I think we've got a pretty good guy there."
Management made the choice, but Wings forward Dan Cleary insisted had it gone to a player vote, Zetterberg would have swept the ballot unanimously.
"I'm happy 100 per cent," Datsyuk said. "It's exactly the right decision."
Holland, by the way, shot a 73 at Meadowbrook Country Club the day he informed Zetterberg he'd be the next captain.
"It was my best round of the year," Holland said.
Fox Sports Detroit's Dana Wakiji suggests that the Red Wings have a vocal captain in the room for the first time in a long time...
If you recall the Crosby incident -- although Kris Draper was the most furious about it at the time -- Zetterberg spoke out, saying Crosby was disrespectful for not shaking Lidstrom's hand.
Zetterberg also made sure to express his displeasure at the lack of punishment for Nashville's Shea Weber when Weber shoved his head into the glass in the first round of the playoffs last season.
"I thought it was dirty," Zetterberg said after the incident. "I think it was directed toward my head. And if you look at what's happened over the last few years with all of the head injuries, I don't think that should belong in the game."
Those aren't exactly fighting words, but they are pointed. Zetterberg doesn't hide his feelings.
I would expect a similar leadership style from Zetterberg as he assumes the Red Wings captaincy.
In fact, he might be a little more like Steve Yzerman, Detroit's captain from 1986–2006, before Lidstrom took over. As a rookie, Zetterberg's home locker at Joe Louis Arena was right next to Yzerman's. Yzerman was a quiet leader, but he wasn't afraid to show a flash of irritation when it was warranted. Zetterberg seems similar in that sense.
Zetterberg is also not afraid to reach out to others. He spoke to Lidstrom before Tuesday's press conference and mentioned many of his current teammates as leaders in the dressing room.
"I think just playing with Nick for my whole career here, just to see how he prepares himself, how he handled himself on and off the ice and just lead by example, and that's what he did," Zetterberg said. "I played with many good leaders since I got here, and not just Stevie and Nick. There was Draper, (Chris) Chelios. There are so many guys that I played with that you learn from, so you try to take bits and pieces from all the guys that you play with. They really formed the player who I am now."
Update #11: For an outside perspective, here's Sean Gentile's take on Zetterberg being named captain in Detroit and Claude Giroux being named captain in Philly...
Zetterberg replaces Nicklas Lidstrom, one of the greatest players in the history of the game and the first European to captain a Cup-winning team. Lidstrom, in turn, replaced Steve Yzerman, on the game's universal shortlist of best leaders. Only those two have held the position since 1986, and the team has won four Cups in that stretch.
So, no pressure.
"Just playing with Nick for my whole career here, just to see how he prepares himself, how he handled himself on and off the ice, and just lead by example and that's what he did," Zetterberg said Tuesday at the announcement, according the Red Wings' website. "I played with many good leaders since I got here and not just Stevie and Nick. There was (Kris) Draper, (Chris) Chelios, there are so many guys that I played with that you learn from. So you try to take bits and pieces from all the guys that you play with and they really formed the player who I am now."
Mike Babcock has coached all of those guys and seems similarities.
"I guess the things that jump to mind for me is fierce, fierce competitors," he said. "(They're) great, great people and guys who put the team first and can speak for the team and treat their teammates right. So those are three things that I would say right off the top of my head."
Zetterberg, 32, won the Conn Smythe in 2008 after scoring a career-high 43 goals, though his offensive production has tailed off in the years since. In 2011-12, he had 67 points.
Giroux, meanwhile, takes over for Chris Pronger, whose career is likely over because of post-concussion syndrome. Pronger missed most of last season and remains on long-term injured reserve, but his retirement is little more than a formality at this point. He, in turn, replaced Mike Richards, who was traded to the LA Kings in the summer of 2011.
While MLive's Brendan Savaage offers more regarding Ken Holland and Mike Babcock's perspectives regarding naming Zetterberg captain:
"It's really the evolution of a leader," Holland said. "He was runner-up as Rookie of the Year. He was on the third line. In '05-06 during the work stoppage, he went back and led the Swedish league in scoring. Steve Yzerman retired and all of a sudden it became Pav and Z's team up front and then ultimately Nick Lidstrom retired.
"He's obviously a big reason we've been able to be competitive since '05. He's at a good time in his career. He's played with two incredible leaders in Steve and Nick. He's a great player. He plays hard every day in practice. He sets the tone. He's a great two-way player. Pav and Hank, they might be 80 points in scoring but they're 100 points in defense. They're as good defensively as any top player in the world. Steve Yzerman sacrificed offense and it's been passed on from one generation of Red Wing to the next. It's Hank's task and responsibility going forward."
A number of people were consulted before the decision was made to name Zetterberg captain. Holland said he and coach Mike Babcock spoke several times and they also consulted former Red Wings Kris Draper, Chris Chelios and Chris Osgood, who all work in the Red Wings' front office.
There was a short list of candidates from the moment Lidstrom made his announcement to retire. It came down to a choice between Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Kronwall – the three alternate captains from last season.
Zetterberg said he spoke with Lidstrom before Tuesday's announcement was made and that he learned what being a leader is all about after playing in Detroit with guys like Draper and Chelios. But Zetterberg is no stranger to wearing the 'C' on his jersey.
Zetterberg was team captain when he played for Timra in Sweden before being drafted by the Red Wings.
"I think I got a little bit used to the media thing over there before I came over here," he said. "I think also, the more you play in those situations as a leader and you learn more and more. It's all about experience. I feel comfortable now for this task. I learned a lot throughout my years and I'm looking forward to getting the season started."
Zetterberg also isn't afraid to speak his mind when he disagrees with coach Mike Babcock. And that's something Babcock respects even though he and Zetterberg can get angry at each other.Zetterberg fits Babcock's description of a good captain.
"I guess the things that jump to mind for me is fierce, fierce competitors," Babcock said. "Great, great people and guys who put the team first and can speak for the team and treat their teammates right. So those are three things that I would say right off the top of my head."
And, via RedWingsFeed again, here's NHL Tonight speaking to Zetterberg:

Wooo! I knew this day would come. Very excited.
On another note I always thought Draper would have made a fantastic captain in the way of "Rah-Rah", but he didn't get his chance.
Posted by Crater from SoCal on 01/15/13 at 06:31 PM ET
3 captains in 27 years, one the best leader we'll ever see, one the best d man the world will ever know, and now one of the best 2 way players to hit the ice. It's your team now Z

Software Redefined Communication System
Beginning with practical difficulties in teaching communication systems in class room, this paper describes a set of innovative experimental demonstrations developed using SDR. Communication engineering is one of the interesting, at the same time difficult subject to learn if the concept is not clear or well explained. Normal practice is that the faculties will just give a theoretical class on communication systems and for students the various communication processes like filtering, modulation, demodulation etc. are just imaginary things. Giving a clear idea about these things to a graduate and under graduate student is a little difficult task. The main aim of SDR is to create an attractive learning platform for the students where they are freed from the boring routine of theoretical learning.

text: OK, I have seasoned my Masterbuilt but have never smoked anything. I have the 30" Masterbuilt basic analog model. I want to start with four chicken halves that have been marinated overnight. What about preheating? What temperature is best for the smoking process? How many wood chips in the pan? Should the chips be soaked or dry? Should the chip pan be covered with the enclosed lid or left open? Should the chicken halves be placed directly on the racks or in a tinfoil pan? Do I use water or apple juice in the pan? Any information would be appreciated!!
