Earlier today Oklahoma-based website TheLostOgle.com reported on a recent Tweet by Skip Bayless in which the ESPN personality cited his own high school basketball career while making a point about star NBA guard Russell Westbrook.
In a Tweet dated March 31, 2012, Bayless reported to his hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter.com, "I started for high school team that lost in the state finals. Coach didn't like me b/c I shot too much and he wanted me to be more of a PG (point guard)."
In response to the ESPN on-air talent's claim about his high school basketball career, TheLostOgle.com unearthed images the website reported came from the yearbook of the high school Bayless attended in 1969 and 1970 – the ESPN personality's junior and senior years at Oklahoma City's Northwest High School.
Those images established that Bayless had attended the school those years and that he indeed was a member of the Northwest High School basketball team that lost in the Oklahoma high school state basketball finals on March 14, 1970, to Norman High School 47-42.
After the TheLostOgle.com's post about Bayless today, SbB obtained an image scan of the original account of the Northwest-Norman game printed in the DAILY OKLAHOMAN on March 15, 1970.
Included in that account, written by Daily Oklahoman reporter Lynn Garnand, was a box score. ESPN on-air talent Bayless, who 10 days ago claimed to hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers that he "started" for Northwest that season was not mentioned in Garnand's game story while the stat line of Bayless in the Daily Oklahoman's box score can be seen as zeroes across the board.
That isn't to say Bayless didn't register a single statistic for Northwest that season.
He did, with the operative word being "single."
In its post earlier today TheLostOgle.com also noted statistics printed in the 1970 Northwest yearbook that showed that as a senior Bayless averaged 1.4 points-per-game for the school's varsity basketball team that season.
As for the junior basketball season of Bayless at Northwest, the same Oklahoma-based website reported that the 1969 Northwest high yearbook indicated the ESPN personality was an on-court contributor to the school's junior varsity squad but did not appear in the final statistical summary of the Northwest varsity team that season.
Sure enough, in a March 14, 1969, Daily Oklahoman box score obtained by SbB today, Bayless contributed the same to Northwest's 64-60 first round loss to (Tulsa) Hale high school in that year's Oklahoma state basketball tournament as he did for Northwest in the postseason his senior season.

Graziano da Silva highlighted the positive impact of FAO's Comprehensive Management of Natural Resources programme, which had resulted in uniting all national scientific and research institutions as one body, for better coordination and effectiveness.
Finland's Minister assured that country would continue its support of FAO in forestry and fisheries, and requested the Organization's expertise in food waste and losses.

The History of Academy Award Winners on Sesame Street
By Joe Hennes
Over 43 seasons, Sesame Street has featured hundreds and hundreds of famous actors. Due to the law of averages, a certain percent of those actors will have gone on to receive a coveted Academy Award statuette. And it seems that those averages are correct, because a lot of Sesame's famous friends have an Oscar on their mantle.
Just last night, at the 85th annual Academy Awards, Anne Hathaway won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance of Fantine in Les Miserables. Hathaway stopped by Sesame Street a few years ago to sing "I Want a Snuffy for Christmas" with her pal Big Bird. Now you can add her to the long list of Oscar winners who count Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Streetgang among their friends. Read More

As housing market spikes, thieves take advantage of open houses
COVINGTON, Wash. -- As the housing market spikes around the area, investigators said there's a frightening problem with thieves taking advantage of open houses and people trying to sell their homes.
Deputies in King, Kitsap and Snohomish counties have reported instances where thieves are stealing valuables from homes.
One Covington homeowner said he learned the hard way that even if you stash your stuff away before you open your doors to strangers, it still might not be enough.
The Covington homeowner had surveillance video showing a man and woman pretend to look at the home but they were actually looking to snatch valuables.
The victim said the pair got away with more than $3,000 worth of jewelry and belts hidden behind his nightstand and around his room.
"Knowing that somebody –a stranger—was going through that, is pretty unnerving," the victim said. "I couldn't believe it. The second I had gotten upstairs and I see that all the watches are gone, I'm thinking ok they had to be hidden somewhere."
King County Sheriff deputies said the thefts are happening all over the county, and investigators said the same type of thefts have been reported in Kitsap and Snohomish counties.
In Arlington, police detectives arrested a 36-year-old Mercer Island man and a 37-year-old Des Moines woman in connection to a theft that happened during a real estate broker's open house. Investigators said the man took off with more than $800 in jewelry.
Deputies said the woman in the Covington case has been arrested, but the man is still at large.
"It's becoming a little disturbing," Sgt. Cindi West with the King County Sheriff's Office said. "Bad guys are always trying to figure out ways to make crime easy. Instead of breaking into somebody's house, hey, if the door's going to be open for you and you can go on in, why not? I think that's what they're doing."
Deputies said open houses can be beneficial, but homeowners should keep the risk in mind.
KOMO News asked real estate agents how homeowners can protect their valuables and they said hiding isn't enough. Rather, homeowners need to lock valuables away and even consider buying a safe, or put them in a safety deposit box.
Realtors said it's not just valuables, but small electronics and prescriptions are prime targets and it's not just the day of homeowners should be worried about.
"It's not just the first time they come see the house, but they have come and checked it out and cased it and see what's there," Windermere Real Estate Broker Jeff Reynolds said. "When you have the open house that following weekend, that's when you need to be worried about because they know where everything is."
Some realtors said if homeowners are still apprehensive about letting strangers in, they can always skip the open house and just have the realtor do one-on-one appointments.

The world's largest mining convention was not a mother lode of pessimism, as some might have expected considering the majority of participants were junior and intermediate mining companies, many on life-support.
Undoubtedly, this year's Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) four-day conference in Toronto in early March was a more subdued affair than in recent years, when commodity prices were charging to all-time highs and financing options were plentiful.
About 18,000 people attended this year's conference, not too far from last year's record 20,100, and most convention booths were full, albeit perhaps with bargain hunters seeking the ultimate "buy low" opportunities. And while the many face-to-face meetings might be a prelude to a wave of merger and acquisition activity that's been predicted for the sector, it was gold that lifted spirits in the short term. The shiny metal reached $1,000 an ounce just before the conference and had many juniors talking up the precious metals components of their holdings. Although some juniors were predicting prices of up to $2,000 an ounce later this year, the outlook presented by conference speakers was less bright.
Long-time metals analyst Jim Steel with HSBC Securities in New York said gold was in jeopardy of losing some of its recent luster. Steel said that jewelry demand is easing around the world, with Indian consumption in particular nose-diving whenever prices creep above $900 an ounce. Steel said that bullion has been rallying in a disinflationary environment as investors seek a safe haven, a condition unlikely to persist much longer, given that investors usually buy gold as a hedge against rising inflation. "Our view is we're going to continue to see a steady but modest decline in the gold price," he said.
The outlook presented for nonferrous metals wasn't much rosier. Alan Williamson, chief economist with Trafigura Group unit Galena Asset Management based in London, told delegates that consensus metal consumption forecasts are too optimistic, given the fall in industrial production in major economies. Although he saw limited downside going forward, he believed any fundamental improvement in prices would have to wait until 2011.
If those predictions didn't seem sobering enough, delegates heard Marc Faber—author of the monthly investment newsletter "The Gloom Boom & Doom Report" and infamously known as Dr. Doom—conclude the conference with a luncheon presentation speculating that the financial crisis will spark war-like actions between the United States and China and that the Dow Jones Industrial Average may end up lower than the (current) gold price. But even Dr. Doom ended on a positive note, predicting that prices for commodities would eventually recover with growth in the Chinese economy and a lack of investment in new resources.
Other veins of optimism were evident throughout the conference. Executives with producers such as FNX Mining Co. Inc. and HudBay Minerals Inc. were more bullish than the analysts. Both the Toronto-based diversified miners believe a recovery in base metals is in store, probably in late 2010.
That type of rebound wouldn't surprise PDAC president John Baird, who has spent more than three decades in the mining business and said the current downturn is just part of its typical cycle. "The strength of this industry is that this is normal and we know how to carry on," Baird said in an interview with AMM. "When you go around the convention and you meet people who are veterans, no one is concerned."
That's not to say these aren't rough times, Baird said. But the industry will get through it. "We'll lose some of the juniors, others will merge and others will do very well, thank you very much."
Baird pointed out that due to the recent commodity boom, many mining companies are not as heavily indebted to the banks. In the past, banks insisted on keeping mining operations running because they wanted their interest payments. Now, producers can curtail output in a constructive fashion, benefiting the market by reducing oversupply.
Baird also noted that mining financings are starting to show some life. Indeed, according to TMX Group, which operates the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange, about $1.5 billion in global equity was raised in the sector from the start of the year up until the March conference. It's an impressive tally, considering that during the last downturn in 2000 global miners raised only $3 billion during the full year.
"There are all kinds of private placements being made. There are so many bargains in assets in the mining industry today, and that's why investors are here," Baird said.
There are silver linings, it seems, to even the "bust" part of a boom-and-bust cycle, bit it may take much more than a mining conference to coax investors into putting money back in the sector. Darcy Keith

Albert McKinley Rains
The following biographical sketch was compiled at the time of induction into the Academy in 1972.
Albert McKinley Rains was born on Sand Mountain in DeKalb County, Alabama, at the Post Office address of Grove Oak on March 11, 1902. He received his education in the DeKalb County Schools, Snead Seminary, Boaz, Alabama; Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, Alabama; and the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
He was admitted to the Bar in 1928 and entered the practice of law in Gadsden, Alabama, as a member of the firm of Rains and Rains in January, 1929. He was City Attorney for the City of Gadsden and District Attorney for Etowah County. In 1940 he was elected to the Alabama Legislature where he was named the "outstanding member of the Legislature," in 1944 he was elected to the Congress of the United States where he served for twenty years representing the Fifth Congressional District. The last two years he was Congressman-at-Large for the State of Alabama. Mr. Rains voluntarily retired from the Congress in 1965.
In the House of Representatives Mr. Rains was the Chairman of the Special Housing Subcommittee, top ranking member of the House Committee on Banking and Currency and member of the Joint Committee on Defense Production. Mr. Rains was the author in the House of Representatives of much important legislation. Among them was the Public Law providing for the full development of the Coosa-Alabama River, also, an Act providing for the establishment of Alabama's only National Military Park which is located at Horseshoe Bend. In the House of Representatives, he wrote practically all of the legislation on housing, and is often referred to as "Mr. Housing, U.S.A."
His legislative proposals greatly expanded programs under the Federal Housing Administration, and millions of Americans own homes by virtue of his efforts. He, also, was the author of the legislation for College Housing which resulted in increased dormitory facilities on practically every college campus in America. Among other programs which bear his legislative imprint are Housing for the Elderly, the Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Programs, Nursing Homes, Military Housing, Rural Housing Programs, the Community Facilities Act; the first Mass Transit Bill, and numerous laws of benefit to Banks and Savings and Loan Association. Mr. Rains also served as the Democratic National Committeeman from Alabama.
While the chairman of an International Study Group on Historic Preservation sponsored by the United States Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities, Mr. Rains filed a report with the Ford Foundation which turned into a best selling book entitled With Heritage So Rich. As a result of this far-reaching and extensive study, the historic Preservation Act of 1966 was enacted by the United State Congress into law.
In his professional and business association, Albert Rains was active in the practice of law in Gadsden Alabama. He was also Chairman of the Board of the First City National Bank, Gadsden, Alabama; Vice President and member of the Board of Directors of Coosa Broadcasting Company of Gadsden, Alabama; vice president and a member of the Board of Directors of Guntersville Broadcasting company, Guntersville, Alabama; vice president and a member of the Board of Directors of Tallabama Broadcasting Company, Talladega, Alabama; member of the Board of Directors of Investors Mortgage Insurance Company, Boston, Massachusetts; and a Member of the Board of Directors of Republic Mortgage Investors, Miami, Florida.
Mr. Rains was married to the former Allison Blair of Centre, Alabama. He is now deceased.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are mostly lower in midday trading following an unexpected contraction in U.S. manufacturing last month. Concerns about automatic tax increases in the New Year caused factory orders to decline.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 21 points to 13,004 shortly before noon Monday.
The Standard and Poor's 500 was flat at 1,416. The Nasdaq composite rose 3 points to 3,013.
The Institute for Supply Management reported that U.S. manufacturing declined in November.
Businesses expressed concerns about the "fiscal cliff," a series of sharp government spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to start Jan. 1 unless an agreement is reached to cut the budget deficit.
Supervalu rose following a report that private equity firm Cerberus is considering options for buying parts of the struggling grocery store chain.

How do I become a Groundling?
The Groundlings is a theater company comprised of up to 30 performers at any given time. Everyone in the Main Company has gone through the Groundlings school - a four level sketch and improv training program. If a student passes all four levels, he/she may be invited to perform in the Sunday Company for an extended period of time. A select few Sunday Company members may then be chosen to join the Main Company.
Do you have a holiday show?
Yes we do! It runs during the month of December.
I love your space! Can I rent it?
Though our space is very seldom free for rentals (we gotta keep folks happy with our stellar back to back improv and sketch shows!) there are occasional windows where the theatre is available to rent for a one day/night event. Please call ext. 24 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
How often do you do a new sketch show?
The Main Company members write/perform a new sketch show every 2.5 months. Those shows run every Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 8pm & 10pm. The Sunday Company members add new material every week for their show on Sundays at 7:30pm.
You have a direct line to Saturday Night Live, right?
No, not at all. SNL looks for talent at many places, including the Groundlings. Going though our program is no guarantee of getting any work, but the training you receive here can help you become a better performer and writer.
How do you compare to the other schools around town?
The Groundlings school has been around for more than 35 years. We have a specific, proven technique by which we teach improv and sketch writing. All of our teachers have been through the program as both students and teachers-in-training. Many are currently working in the industry.
We offer several class sessions per year with a variety of class times and dates. Only graduates of our school many be in our performing companies.
How long does it take to get through the Groundlings program?
The further you progress through the program, the more of a time committment you can expect. While Lower Division classes (Basic and Intermediate) are offered every six weeks, Upper Division classes (Writing Lab and Advanced) are not offered as often, and each have a waiting list. It takes several years for students to make it through the entire program.
Why does it take so long to get through the upper-level classes?
Since the Sunday Company only rotates its cast twice each year, it limits the amount of Advanced classes that can be offered. In order to keep the waiting list for Advanced manageable, the school must also limit the amount of times it can offer Writing Lab. If we offered Writing Lab as often as the lower-level classes, the wait for Advanced would be too long for most students to wait, resulting in many talented performers never getting a chance to complete the program.
Do I need acting experience?
We have had people with little or no acting experience do very well in the school. However, the more experience the better. The core program is designed for professional actors. For non-professionals we offer Beginner's Classes in our Extension program.
Why do I have to audition to take a class here? I am a professional actress who has been doing comedy for several years.
The audition is for your own benefit! It's to make sure you get placed in the correct class. A lot is expected of students enrolled in Basic, the first level of the core program, and some people may be better suited to start with one of our extension classes for beginners.
May I register for a Basic Class and then audition?
Nope. You must have passed an audition to register for Basic. Auditions are free and you can register on the school registration page.
Can I audition for the Main Company?
Unlike other institutions, The Groundlings doesn't allow 'straight-to-company' auditions. Every Groundling completed the Groundlings program and performed in the Sunday Company before being invited into the Main Company.
Why can't I choose the teacher I want to study with?
Since our instructors are all professional actors and writers, often times their assignments cannot be made until right before classes begin. But don't worry! Every teacher has gone through the same rigorous training program and teaches from a very specific syllabus. No matter who you study with, you will be in good hands!
Upon completion of any given class, the teachers turn in results to the school office. Our goal is to have accounts updated within 72 hours of course completion. Students will receive an email once results are entered informing them they can sign up for the next level or use the repeater discount on the level they recently finished.
Do my class results expire?
Audition and Core Track class results expire one year after your final class. If your results expire before you register for the next level, you will be asked to re-start the program. Students who are away from the program for over a year have been away from the material too long to maintain the integrity and continuity of our training. Please contact the school office for your specific expiration date.
Do you offer payment plans for your classes?
We sure do! We're here to make this process as easy for you to manage as possible.
Email the school OR call ext. 21 for details.

Online associate editor David Biello arrived in China this past May with the intention of reporting for Scientific American's Web site on the country's daunting environmental and health challenges. Those subjects suddenly redefined themselves on the afternoon of May 12, however, when a massive magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake tore apart Mianyang, Chengdu and other communities in the western province of Sichuan. Nearly 70,000 people were killed, and millions were abruptly left homeless.
Biello's reports on the tragedy, which are available at www.SciAm.com, describe some of the resulting chaos. In the wake of such disasters, the most desperate physical needs—for food, drinking water, sanitation, shelter and medicine—grab priority: efficiently addressing the needs of the hungry, injured and homeless has to be the focus of any aid. Unfortunately, such acute concerns can pull attention away from more persistent catastrophes brewing in the environment, and China will have an abundance of those long after the last traces of this recent quake's damage have been cleaned up. In its rush to industrialize and raise its economy, China has incurred nightmarish air and water pollution hazards, among other environmental burdens.
Journalist Dan Fagin writes about one such newly discovered problem in his article "China's Children of Smoke". As he reports, Frederica Perera, an investigator in the young field of molecular epidemiology, has found that in China, children born and raised under the clouds of smoke spewed by a coal-burning power plant have slightly smaller heads and lower scores on developmental tests than kids exposed to cleaner air do.
Fundamentally, China is on an earlier, dirtier segment of the economic development curve that all the industrial superpowers followed. In China, however—at least around the major cities—the transition back to a more benign environment is happening about twice as quickly as it did historically. Western nations were able to clean up in part because they outsourced their dirty industries to other countries. (Indeed, we Westerners should feel some responsibility for China's current woes because most of its polluting industries feed our demand.) China has its own version of outsourcing: its cities are getting cleaner because the factories are moving to more rural areas, where they affect fewer people.
Ultimately, China (and other rising nations) needs technologies for producing energy and goods with less pollution. The U.S. and Europe could and should do more to help developing countries get those technologies. For example, the U.S. has in effect stalled in its efforts to develop ways to burn coal more cleanly. Yet those technologies will be crucially important not just in the U.S. and China (where they might improve local environments) but globally, because "clean coal" power will be essential for controlling global warming. Working on cleaner coal may not have the humanitarian immediacy of helping earthquake victims, but it may someday save even more lives.
Note: This article was originally published with the title, "Helping China".

Gutters Repair in Marin CountyCities, CA Let us Shine on Your Rainy Day
Clogged Gutters
This is the most common problem of all. Left untended, gutters and downspouts get so clogged with debris that they're rendered useless. The excess weight of leaves, twigs, and standing water can also make them sag and pull away from the fascia.
Clean them at least once a year, and twice a year if you have a lot of trees nearby. Gary Mindlin, managing partner of New York City based Top Hat Home Services, schedules gutter maintenance four times a year, with additional checks after big storms.
Another option for dealing with chronically clogged gutters is to outfit them with gutter covers.
These include mesh screens, clip-on grates, and porous foam. They still need regular maintenance, though, and the cost can be more than the gutters themselves.
Sagging Gutters and Gutters Pulling Away from the House
This is usually a problem with the hangers, the hardware that secures the gutters to the fascia.
They might have deteriorated over time, the fasteners may have backed out of the wood, or they're spaced too far apart to support the weight of full gutters.
Leaks and Holes
Leaky gutter joints can be sealed by caulking the joint from the inside with gutter sealant, Very small holes can be filled with gutter sealant. Larger holes will require a patch.
Improperly Pitched Gutters
Gutters need to be pitched toward the downspouts for the water to flow properly.
Downspouts Draining Too Close to the Foundation
Downspouts need to extend several feet from the house, or they'll dump right into the basement. Gutter extensions attached to the bottom of the downspout will discharge water well beyond the foundation.
Missing Gutters
If your house has no gutters at all, consider investing in a system. The cost depends on the material. Most residential gutters are aluminum, which is lightweight and durable. "Unless an Aluminum gutter is damaged by something, it will last forever". Vinyl, galvanized steel, and copper also are available options.
Sunshine Gutters PRO will repair your gutters and will do it the right way.

Risotto Milanese is a deliciously rich and comforting dish centered around Italian rice seasoned with onion, saffron, Parmesan cheese, butter, white wine and copious amounts of chicken stock.
Hot chicken stock infused with saffron threads is added in small amounts to arborio rice as it cooks and is allowed to absorb before adding more. . .And more and more and more…It requires most, if not all of your attention and an insane amount of stirring that is worth every minute of your arm feeling like it might fall off.
The reward is this luxurious dish of "al dente" rice coated in buttery creaminess mildly reminiscent of saffron with a vibrant color that is akin to sunshine. We could all use a little more buttery sunshine in our lives, couldn't we?!
- In a large (12- to 14-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add onion and cook until translucent but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes, turn heat down if they start to brown.
- Meanwhile add the saffron to the hot stock, stirring to infuse. Keep a lid on the stock.
- When the onions are tender and translucent add the rice, stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and a 4 to 6-ounce ladle of stock. Cook, stirring, until it is absorbed.
- Continue adding the stock a ladle at a time, each time the liquid is absorbed add more. Stir often. Cook until the rice is tender and creamy but still a little al dente 16-20 minutes.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC added a bit of height and youth to their veteran-dominated defense on Friday, signing 26-year-old central defender Brad Rusin.
Standing at 6-foot-4, Rusin promises to bring a bruising element to an already physical backline after plying his trade for the past season and a half with Danish side HB Køge.
"I'm a big body, I'm good in the air, strong, aggressive, and tackle – and I distribute the ball well once I get it," Rusin told MLSsoccer.com on Saturday. "I'm not the type of player that will try to dribble everyone. … I'm not one to make it difficult on myself and I'd rather just give it to my teammates and let them do their jobs. I'm a pretty simple player but I get the job done."
The Crown Point, indiana, native will have plenty of familiar faces around when preseason starts later this month. As a former member of the Carolina RailHawks (above), Rusin has played under head coach Martin Rennie, assistant coaches Paul Ritchie and Jake DeClute, and alongside Brad Knighton, Matt Watson and Jun Marques Davidson -- he also played in college with Jordan Harvey at UCLA.
"I know a few of them, and I think it's just going to help me transition," Rusin said. "It should be good. I'm looking forward to getting back with those guys and of course meeting the other guys."
Whitecaps FC fans who followed the team in NASL will also be familiar with Rusin, who played against Vancouver while in RailHawks colours – he still remembers the Southsiders from playing at Swangard Stadium.
"With Carolina I came up there two or three times," Rusin said. "The fans were great, always chanting behind the goal – heckling me to be honest – I remember that!
"The city's beautiful and I've heard nothing but good things, even from people who aren't from Vancouver."
Rusin, who sees himself as a central defender but was also deployed as a defensive midfielder under Rennie in Carolina, knows he has a challenge ahead of him with the likes of Jay DeMerit, Andy O'Brien and Martín Bonjour all impressing at various stages during the club's 2012 playoff-qualifying campaign.
"[Centre back] is probably the strongest position on the team in terms of depth," Rusin said. "But it's not a bad thing. I'm just looking forward to getting out there and competing in training against those guys and giving Martin a tough decision to make."

WASHINGTON — China's economy lost some luster and its leaders their aura of invincibility. A commodities boom went bust, spreading pain from Texas oil fields to Indonesian coal mines.
Seven years of near-zero interest rates ended in the United States, while easy money kept flowing elsewhere. Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests. And the rise of Uber intensified a debate about the definition of an employee.
China's sharp slowdown was chosen as the top business story of 2015 by business editors at The Associated Press, followed by the plunge in energy prices.

One of my favorite "Yes, Prime Minister" episodes is "The Bishop's Gambit," where Prime Minister Hacker has to select a new bishop for the diocese of Bury St. Edmunds, and wonders naively whether the ideal candidate should believe in God or not. From the script:
"The bench of bishops should have a proper balance between those who believe in God and those who don't."
"Bishops tend to live a long time, perhaps because the Almighty is not all that keen for them to join him."
"In Arab countries women get stoned when they commit adultery. In Britain, they commit adultery when they get stoned."
"We cannot leave the appointment of Bishops to the Holy Ghost, because no one is confident that the Holy Ghost would understand what makes a good Church of England bishop."
"An atheist clergyman could not continue to draw his stipend, so when they stop believing in God they call themselves 'modernists'."
"The Church of England is primarily a social organization not a religious one."
This comes to mind for two reasons. First, the vista outside my hotel room window, which you can see in the photo below, shows the Grace Cathedral of the Episcopal Church with some kind of demolition work going on. It would seem only fitting that, having demolished the inside of the cathedral (figuratively speaking anyway), they might as well start demolishing the outside, too. (See Paul Seabury's classic Harper's article, "Trendier Than Thou," which I've mentioned here before).
But wait: maybe they're just rebuilding the steps so people can come back into the cathedral more easily? It seems that the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, . . . actually believes in God. The old-fashioned way. Not in the "modernist" way. (Among other interesting details, Archbishop Welby's mother was a secretary to Winston Churchill.) If this keeps up, the American Episcopal Church (whose presiding bishop, chosen for every craven reason of political correctness, is definitely a "modernist") will secede for good from the mother Anglican Church.

Markets are fairly quiet today. U.S. equity futures are hovering around Global markets, after a quiet Thanksgiving holiday week, are getting back into the swing of things today, with a few commodities making out-sized moves. Natural gas futures, which have been extraordinarily strong these past two months, are trading down almost 4% today. Revised forecasts showing an unusually warm start to December signaled reduced demand for heating fuels, thus natural gas futures have experienced big selling. Crude oil futures are also down more than 1%, as are heating oil futures.
On the other end of the spectrum, orange juice futures are continuing their recent rally, trading up almost 2% this morning as weather concerns in growing regions cause bulls to come out in force. OJ futures have rallied from around $1.05 to almost $1.30. The next resistance/target level for us is $1.40, which is the high from the August rally of this year. However reports of warmer weather is causing energy markets to decline, so we think the OJ rally might slow soon.
We focus closer on the Aussie dollar futures today. We have taken interest of recent headlines from WSJ: "Azerbaijan Buys Australian Government Bonds" and "What happens if the dollar hits $US1.20?" from the business section of the Sydney Morning Herald. We still believe the Aussie dollar futures have upside potential, as investors find the higher yielding bonds attractive. Our pivot level is 1.0390, and we believe a very important upside resistance level is at 1.0490. We notice two supportive trendlines below the market that can potentially act as floors for price.

New signs catch eyes of drivers
By KATHLEEN BAGLIO HUMPHREYS
New Hampshire Union Leader
One of the safety signs that comply to Federal reflectivity regulations and use a national standard for signage on Center Road in Lyndeborough was recently installed. (KATHLEEN BAGLIO HUMPHREYS)
Dangerous rural roads in the Monadnock and the south central Merrimack Valley have been getting highly reflective traffic signs as part of a $900,000 Department of Transportation project.
"The sign is not for the people who have been driving that road for 50 years, it's for the new driver who has never been to this area before to alert them to dangers," DOT Highway Design Project Manager Ron Grandmaison said.
New signs went up on Chestnut Hill Road in New Boston; Mansion and Concord State roads in Dunbarton; Center Road in Lyndeborough; Whiting Hill, North River, Mason and Federal Hill Roads in Milford and Hill; Forest and Crotched Mountain roads in Greenfield; South Bennington Road in Bennington; Bradford Springs Road in Washington; and Charlestown and River roads in Acworth,
"We can't spend this money on paving or bridges; it has to be safety-related," Grandmaison said of the federal dollars being used for the high-risk rural roads or "H Triple R" project.
Grandmaison said the DOT made its selection after reviewing state-maintained rural roads in its database.
"We went out and drove the roads to see if they needed additional signage and made modification as needed," Grandmaison said.
Milford Department of Public Works Director Rick Riendeau said the improved signage meets the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devises (MUTCD) guidelines and reflectivity standards.
"The new signs help us comply with federal guidelines and it's for safety, so it's a good thing," he said
The bright yellow reflective signs increase visibility, improve advance warning on curves by the use of arrows called chevrons.
"Chevrons delineate the curve a little better, so drivers can negotiate the natural curve of the roadway," Grandmaison said.
He said the new reflectivity standards increase the signs' visibility and may mean fewer signs will be needed.
The new national standard provides more information such as directional, upcoming roads and miles per hour or suggested miles per hour around curves, he said.
"We are trying to get the info out to be consistent across the state and also across the country for a national standard," Grandmaison said.
Lyndeborough Police Chief Rance Deware said the new signs are eye-catching.
"I noticed a difference on vehicle speeds on Center Road because they put the sharp curve signs and reduced the speeds to 25 mph on curves so it gets people to slow down when they know it's a curve, especially at night," Deware said. "I've noticed myself even slow down because there is that visual stimulus there."
Other projects earmarked for the $900,000 include improvements at railroad crossings, intersection improvements, rumble strips, lane markings, roadside delineation, road safety audits and pedestrian and bike safety.

Tow truck drivers are heroes to some during bitter cold
Driver recommends car owners get battery checked
Many people are dealing with cars that won't start in this frigid weather.
"This is where I earn my money," tow truck driver Matt Wallace said.
It's show time for tow truck driver Wallace.
VIDEO: Many dealing with vehicle problems in the cold
"You can just imagine all the cars that don't start," Wallace said.
He works day and night for Jim's Pro Service out of Oconomowoc and has to prepare for a temperature heading toward minus 20 degrees.
"It's just dress for it. You know, keep your face out of it," Wallace aid.
Wallace was helping out Joe Worden Monday, whose new tire went flat in the bitter cold.
"I mean, it is cold. It's good that they have people like this here -- Triple-A, that come out and do this. You know to come out and help us," Worden said.
Whether it's a flat tire or Daniel Krause's failed battery, Wallace is a hero.
"When I came out at 12:30 p.m. to start it, it was dead," Krause said. "When I got hold of Triple-A, they said between six-to-eight-hour wait," Krause said.
Then he was worried about his car starting when he got done with his work, so the tow truck operator told him he needed to come out every two to three hours and start his car.
It will start all over for Wallace Tuesday morning.
The tow truck driver said if people were better prepared for winter, they wouldn't find themselves stranded. He recommended getting your battery tested before the start of winter.

Exploring Jan Kolata's Paintings With a Wandering Eye and an Introspective Mind
Artsy Editorial
Image rights: Courtesy Le Feuvre & Roze
Inviting the element of chance into his practice, Jan Kolata builds up fields of overlapping color, allowing drips and pools of paint to express themselves intuitively and freely. The thin layers he applies create chromatic relationships that can complement, amplify, or mute one another, as well as producing absorbing optical effects. Similar to stain-painter Dan Christensen, Kolata uses diaphanous color in expressive, psychedelic, and jazzy patterns. He accentuates the texture of the paint, allowing the brush bristles to create distinct marks on the surface of his work.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — Visitation to Yellowstone National Park for the month of May and for the first five months of this year has risen almost 6 percent compared to 2013.
The National Park Service reports just over 310,000 recreational visitors to Yellowstone in May and a total of 415,185 for the first five months of 2014. That compares to 293,250 recreational visitors for May 2013 and 392,222 recreational visitors for January through May 2013.
Visitation statistics are calculated by taking the actual number of wheeled vehicles entering the park gates, and using a person-per-vehicle multiplier to calculate the number of monthly recreational visitors.
July is typically the park's peak visitation month, followed in order by August, June, September, and May.

Graziano da Silva meets Morocco's Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries
23 April 2014, Meknes, Morocco – FAO Director-General Graziano da Silva met today with Morocco's Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries Aziz Akhannouch, on the margins of the seventh Forum on Agriculture in the Kingdom of Morocco.
Minister Akhannouch thanked the Director-General for attending the event and highlighted the positive impact his presence was having at this important forum.
The Director-General noted the "immense potential" of the South-South Cooperation agreement to which Morocco is the first signatory. The agreement aims to support food security projects elsewhere in Africa through the FAO South-South Cooperation (SSC) programme.
As discussed at the meeting, this agreement should take the South-South Cooperation between Morocco and other African countries to a new level for the benefit of the entire region.
In that respect, Graziano da Silva stressed the importance of dedicating efforts to the critical situation in Yemen.
Graziano da Silva lauded Morocco's government for the results of the Plan Maroc Vert, or Green Morocco Plan for agricultural development, which through its two components the FAO chief said recognized the distinct needs of both small-scale, family farms and large scale, agricultural enterprises.
He also credited Morocco with reducing undernourishment among its population to under 5 percent, in keeping with specific targets set by UN Millennium Development Goal on reducing hunger and poverty by the year 2015.
The FAO Director General invited Minister Akhannouch to attend the award ceremony on 16 June in Rome.

Defending NBC's The Office
A British import the network didn't mangle.
Download the MP3 audio version of this story here, or sign up for Slate's free daily podcast on iTunes.
Americans love to fix what ain't broke so that they can avoid repairing that which is in desperate need, like the rickety old network sitcom. We have a history of tinkering with British shows— Queer As Folk, Coupling, Big Brother—only to suck the charm right out of them. So, when NBC announced plans to Americanize Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's The Office, a seminal mockumentary about office life at the Wernham-Hogg paper company in the English town of Slough, fans were bracing themselves for blasphemy. And yet the writers at the NBC's The Office have done something unprecedented: With the exception of the pilot, which was a predictable re-enactment of the British script, The Office (Thursdays, 9:30 p.m. ET) has artfully looted Gervais and Merchant's show for jokes and characters while at the same reinventing itself into something truly, well, American.
Until The Office came along, the American networks had yielded only dreary office comedies like The Drew Carey Show, Just Shoot Me, and Suddenly Susan—all of which bore little resemblance to a workplace outside a Hollywood studio. (The best comic treatment of office life may have been Mike Judge's 1999 movie Office Space.)The original Office resonated with both American and British viewers because of its sly evocation of the absurdity of the workplace. Producer Greg Daniels (Judge's co-creator on King of the Hill)borrows Gervais' and Merchant's battles over workspace boundaries, surreptitious and seemingly doomed flirtations between co-workers, office gags involving dildos and prank calls, and the ever-present threat of layoffs. But Daniels also factors in our cultural idiosyncrasies: Americans don't usually go out for pints every night—we'd be considered alcoholics if we did. Instead, the Sloughs of America—i.e., Scranton, Pa., which is home to the American Office'sDunder-Mifflin paper company—have been overrun by mournful chains like T.G.I. Friday's, Bennigan's, and Chili's, the place where Dunder-Mifflinites hold their unofficial office functions.
The man at the center is Michael Scott (Steve Carell), who wisely chose not to ape Gervais' inimitable oaf (and still managed to nab a Golden Globe just like his English doppelgänger). Michael shares his British mate's arrogance, self-absorption, and cluelessness, but he possesses his own brand of vanity, as well as a wonderful tendency to be sinister toward his colleagues. The latter is apparent as early as the second episode, "Diversity Day," in which Dunder-Mifflin employees are subjected to two excruciating cultural awareness seminars after Michael performs a Chris Rock routine on "the two different kinds of black people." The second of the two seminars is an impromptu forum run by the clueless perp himself.
Michael will push right in to your office, your party, your personal space. The sounding of a fire alarm brings out his survival instinct: He brazenly shoves his underlings out of the way so that he can be the first out of the building, safe and sound. Michael attempts to stick his bandaged, seared foot (which he burnt on a George Foreman grill) into the MRI machine scanning the concussed head of his assistant, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) in "The Injury." And he sexually harasses every woman in his vicinity, be it the bemused receptionist Pam Beesley (Jenna Fischer); the plump, fun-loving Phyllis (Phyllis Smith); or Michael's boss, Jan Levinson-Gould (Melora Hardin), the subject of his wrath after the two make out following a drunken evening at, yes, Chili's.
Most notably, NBC's Office takes note of differences in work ethic. Not only do desk jobs dominate our lives on this side of the Atlantic, they define us. At Dunder-Mifflin more so than at Wernham-Hogg, we see the employees socializing almost exclusively with each other—these guys don't appear to have friends outside of the company, except for their spouses or lovers. The resident temp at Dunder-Mifflin, Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) tries to assert his boundaries in the office when he says with a mixture of disgust and trepidation in "The Fire": "Stanley is the crossword puzzle guy and Angela has cats. I don't wanna have a thing here, you know? I don't wanna be the 'something' guy." But he falls prey to Dwight, who christens him "The Fire Guy" when Ryan accidentally starts a kitchen fire by sticking a piece of pita bread in the toaster.
The American Office requires a greater degree of claustrophobia to set the drama in motion. And, here, we're more intimately acquainted with the staff, if only to ease the edge off of Carell's scene-chewing performance, which could become unbearable without comic foils. As Dwight, his volunteer henchman, tells the cameraman in "Office Olympics": "We're like one of those classic famous teams. He's like Mozart, and I'm like Mozart's friend. No, I'm like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart and you are going to get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."
Given the general inanity of NBC's primetime schedule, it is something of a miracle that the network didn't manage to ruin The Office. Perhaps it learned a valuable lesson from past British remakes like Coupling (a show that dissolved as quickly as it premiered, in 2004), which, ironically, was a riff on the very American Friends. It wouldn't have been the first time Brits improved upon one of our own cultural inventions—they gave rock 'n' roll a makeover and now they've helped save the sitcom from itself.

One of the questions we hear most often is, "What does it take to be a successful trader?" Although many people look for the Holy Grail of trading that works every time, history has shown it likely doesn't exist. Instead, George Gero, precious metals strategist, vice president, global futures, RBC Capital Markets, says nothing in life is free or easy, so you have to be prepared to work if you want to be a successful trader.
Here, Gero shares the checklist of information he reviews every day before he even considers a metals trade. A checklist is important, he says, because it can keep you focused in the heat of trading when an economic report, political action or anything else hits the market. As such, here are the 10 things Gero checks every day.
1. Do your homework
If you want to do well during the trading session, you have to set yourself up for success before the bell even rings, Gero says. That means taking time the night before to check prices and see how the metals are trading overseas in reaction to the U.S. trading session.
Gero says he tends to look at prices around 8 p.m.-11 p.m. ET, focusing specifically on the metals prices and the major currencies — metals because that is what he intends to trade and currencies because they can affect the price directly (see "Footing the bill,"). "If I see that the dollar is strong, then that could affect the prices of the metal as being too expensive in dollar terms," he says.

SACRAMENTO -- As he prepares to deliver the third State of the State speech of his third term on Thursday, Gov. Jerry Brown will be peering down from a lofty political perch that he may never ascend to again.
Even this late in his political travels, the 74-year-old Brown can safely be called a political phenomenon. He's fresh off producing what many are calling a "miracle" deficit-free budget only two years after inheriting $27 billion in red ink. And the budget came only two months after he shocked the political world with his triumphant tax-hike ballot measure, Proposition 30.
Brown now has a command of the Capitol stage as only a handful of California politicians -- one of them his father, Gov. Pat Brown-- have enjoyed. And it's a good time for the son to have the wind at his back, as he prepares to push through a slew of major projects, ranging from a bullet train to a huge new water project.
"It's been a long time since any governor has been riding this high," said Ethan Rarick, director of UC Berkeley's Matsui Center at the Institute of Governmental Studies. "I'd say that Jerry Brown 2.0 has disproved skeptics every step of the way. If the economy goes south, they'll come back. But for now, it's hard to see how you could've done better than he's done."
Since he first appeared on the political scene in the mid-1970s, Brown has been a darling of the national media, if only for the quirky quote. Of late, though, he's viewed more as a sober elder statesman who might have the answer to the country's fiscal problems while invoking Greek philosophers and throwing out Latin phrases.
"Is what you did transferable to the national government?" Brown was asked in a PBS interview last week.
Los Angeles Times editorial-page columnist Paul Whitefield even urged Brown to run for president, arguing that the "Moonbeam" tag from his first two terms decades ago no longer applies. "He's now the sage of Sacramento," Whitefield opined.
"If he were 10 years younger, they'd be talking about him along with Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden as contenders for 2016," said Dan Schnur, director of the University of Southern California's Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics. "The great irony is that he ran for president twice during his first time as governor but never had anywhere near the political capital he has now."
The governor now occupies an enviable "strategic position," as he calls it, a place and time that confers credibility and momentum as he wades into treacherous waters.
Brown wants to build an underground canal to deliver Sacramento River water across the Delta to Southern California while dodging bullets between warring environmentalists and developers; lay the first tracks for the generally unpopular $69 billion high-speed rail project; and turn the school finance system on its head by jettisoning the complex funding formula and local mandates, while giving more money to schools with disadvantaged students. He also wants to reform the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the decades-old law that requires environmental impact studies for building projects, over the objections of his own allies.
Critics say trying to tackle any one of these major policy goals on their own would be foolhardy enough. But to pursue them together even as he hammers out a new budget, while handling other significant issues such as gun control and political reform, could be considered political suicide.
"Especially with high-speed rail, which is hard to defend," said Jack Pitney, a political-science professor at Claremont McKenna College. "It's a massive project in search of a rationale. As the cost becomes more clear, that could undercut his political standing, and even more so if the economy sours."
There are plenty of other traps that could ensnare Brown, said Rob Stutzman, a GOP strategist who worked on the 2010 gubernatorial campaign of Brown's Republican opponent, Meg Whitman.
"If we get into a deficit by May when the real budget comes out, it'll be tough sledding -- that will be hard for him to explain," Stutzman said. "The other thing is he has nothing to show on job creation. I'd think he needs to make good on regulatory reform like CEQA."
But Brown's supporters point out that his doubters have been wrong about him since his return to the governor's horseshoe-shaped offices at the Capitol two years ago. And even before he got there, Brown had to overcome skeptics from his own party, who feared the billionaire Whitman would overwhelm him with her unlimited personal treasury. They complained that he was taking too long to get his campaign up and running, that he didn't have enough money and lacked flair on the campaign trail. But on Election Night he crushed her.
Brown heard the same complaints and criticisms from Democratic activists about his campaign for Proposition 30: He didn't get out on the campaign trail early enough. He wasn't fundraising aggressively enough. He had no unifying message. He didn't capitalize on voters' yearning for class warfare against the rich.
Many political analysts seemed confident that California voters' long-standing hatred of taxes would send Brown scurrying for cover, wondering how he'd be able to face teachers and parents when he was forced to slash $5 billion from K-12 budgets that would be triggered by a loss.
But again, Brown triumphed. Proposition 30 passed by a stunning 10 percentage points.
A daunting $27 billion deficit greeted Brown when he returned as governor in January 2011 -- 28 years after he left the office. So he laid out an austere path riddled with billions of dollars in education and social service cuts that devastated his own Democratic constituencies.
His fellow Democrats begrudgingly went along with the cuts, and their party gained two-thirds majorities in both legislative chambers in the fall for the first time since the 1880s.
An irony to Brown's sense of political leverage is that he has said he will use much of his power to do nothing. He has vowed to put the brakes on the plans of Democratic legislators to restore programs for the poor, launch an assault on the landmark Proposition 13, and possibly seek more tax hikes now that their two-thirds majorities have made California Republicans irrelevant.
Brown can also play it safe when it comes to his political future. Because voters appear to be asking him to be cautious with their money, he is unlikely to face a challenge from the left if, as is widely expected, he seeks re-election. And a credible candidate coming out of the Republican Party seems as unlikely as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie beating Brown in a chin-up contest.
Still, even with his high political standing at the Capitol, Brown has yet to break 50 percent in voter approval polls, something for which Stutzman argues he only has himself to blame.
"He is so reclusive; he doesn't enjoy selling his achievements," Stutzman said. "Brown needs to wring out as much political capital as he can because it can turn to vapor quickly."

NEW YORK (AP) — The head of an Oregon investment research firm was sentenced Tuesday to more than four years in prison for an insider trading conviction and for "obscene, hateful" rants he directed at investigators before his arrest.
John Kinnucan, 55, of Portland, apologized to "everybody involved" for the trouble he caused before U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts announced his four year, three month sentence.
"It wasn't my intention and I'm deeply sorry," he said.
Kinnucan pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of securities fraud. He has been imprisoned since he was accused of making obscenity-laced phone calls to prosecutors and FBI agents.
The judge decried his "obscene, hateful, despicable and repetitive" rants left on voicemails for prosecutors and FBI agents and dismissed arguments by a defense lawyer that he should get leniency because he suffered the effects of alcoholism and depression.
"His sense of entitlement and anger are equal if not greater than alcoholism and gambling" issues he faced, Batts said.
Kinnucan admitted giving hedge funds and money managers inside information between 2008 and 2010, when he was president of Broadband Research LLC in Portland.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called the sentencing "a fitting conclusion to a criminal odyssey that began with the buying and selling of inside information and evolved into a vile and very public campaign to threaten public servants and obstruct the federal investigation into Kinnucan's conduct."
Prosecutors said Kinnucan made nearly 25 threatening telephone calls to prosecutors and agents, making repeated references to genocide, sexual and other forms of violence and threatened physical harm to one of the prosecutors working on the case. The government said he also made multiple calls to a cooperating witness and tried to contact another in an attempt to intimidate and harass them.
Besides the prison sentence, Kinnucan must forfeit $164,000 and undergo various programs for alcoholism, depression and anger management.
Kinnucan's lawyer, Jennifer Brown, said her client had lost everything, including his marriage, his business and his money, and could never work in finance again.
"He became unhinged and lashed out at his world," she said as she asked that his sentence be limited to two years in prison. "He's having trouble seeing hope for the future."
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Benton Massey said Kinnucan's harassment of investigators was "absolutely frightening, appalling and stunning" and could not be explained away because they occurred over a period of months.
"We don't think alcohol or depression or a level of stress can explain it," he said.

Game Day Recon #11 – Canucks @ Oilers
The Vancouver Canucks head out on a quick two-game road trip, and play on back-to-back nights, as they head to Alberta's capital to face the Edmonton Oilers. Joining them on the ice for the first time this season is Alex Burrows, fully recovered and finally eligible to play after his LTIR stint to start the year.
Canucks fans can expect Burrows to come out flying and agitating, which is exactly what the Canucks need, playing back-to-back games. But the bigger story here is that the Canucks come into tonight's game still looking for their first road win of the season.
Broadcast Info
TV: RSN-P (HD) Radio: Team 1040
The Intel
It's safe to say that the Oilers are a pretty exciting team. With Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and Magnus Paajarvi, along with Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano and Gilbert Brule, the Oilers have their youth movement in full effect now. They are fast, they have skill, and they have youthful exuberance. But they were unpolished diamonds at this point, especially Eberle, Hall and Paajarvi. They are still rough around the edges, still learning the pro game and will likely take most of the season to start playing a man's game at the NHL level.
There is no doubt that the Oilers can score. They are ranked sixth in goals-for per game (3.11). And they're scoring more goals at 5-on-5 than they're letting in (1.20 GF/GA ratio). All this while taking very few shots, as they sit 28th in shots-for (26.8).
So why are they losing games? Because defensively, they are wretched. They rank 28th in GA/game, and 29th in PK% and dead last in short-handed (4-on-5) goals-against. More specifically, the Oilers are giving up a lot of 1st period goals (1.33 goals-against every 1st period), so the Canucks need to start quickly and pop a goal or two in the first period. After playing last night, the Canucks can do themselves a favour by coming out skating early and then lock down the game.
The Canucks also welcome back Alex Burrows after spending his 10 games and 24 days on Long Term Injured Reserve to start the year. He is raring to go, feeling healthy and energized and will be a welcome addition to the Canucks lineup. Remember that Burrows was the team's leading goal scorer last year, with 35 goals. The Canucks could certainly use his gritty, agitating presence around the goal, especially on the road where Vancouver has struggled to score, with only 7 goals on 4 road games. With the Canucks full complement of players on the top 2 lines, they should be expected to score with more regularly, especially against a team with such suspect defense.
The Three Keys
1. Keep the Oilers from shooting. The Canucks do give up a lot of shots, but the Oilers don't get too many shots successfully at the net. With Keith Ballard back, the Canucks shot blocking prowess got a big bolster.
2. Faceoffs. The Oilers are flat-out terrible in the faceoff dot, sitting 29th in FOW%, whereas the Canucks are the NHL's best faceoff team at 56.5%. The Canucks can control the play and possession by owning faceoffs.
3. Skate and draw penalties. Since the Oilers PK is so dreadful, the Canucks will want to put them shorthanded as often as possible. Edmonton also ranks 25th in PK mins per game. With Burrows back, he needs to get back to his agitating best quickly. If the Canucks can chirp and piss off the young Oilers, and keep their feet moving, they should get a few PP opportunities and hopefully they can capitalize.
