ABSTRACT. Xenophyophorea are giant deep-sea rhizopodial protists of enigmatic origins. Although species were described as Foraminifera or sponges in the early literature, the xenophyophoreans are currently classified either as a class of Rhizopoda or an independent phylum. To establish the phylogenetic position of Xenophyophorea, we analysed the small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequence of Syringammina corbicula Richardson, a newly described xenophyophorean species from the Cape Verde Plateau. The SSUrDNA analyses showed that S. corbicula is closely related to Rhizammina algaeformis, a tubular deep-sea foraminiferan. Both species branch within a group of monothalamous (single-chambered) Foraminifera, which include also such agglutinated genera as Toxisarcon, Rhabdammina, and Saccammina, and the organic-walled genera Gloiogullmia and Cylindrogullmia. Our results are congruent with observations of similar cytoplasmic organisation in Rhizammina and Syringammina. Thus, the Xenophyophorea appear to be a highly specialised group of deep-sea Foraminifera.

Mr. Bounce Back? Braden Holtby remains undefeated following a loss
May 9, 2012, 10:50 PM EDT
To some extent, the New York Rangers made it kind of easy for Braden Holtby to look like a star tonight. The Washington Capitals' upstart goalie made 30 saves, but many of them came from less dangerous areas and/or without traffic in front of him. That shouldn't take too much away from Holtby's poised performance, though.
Holtby's individual numbers mean more to nerds like me than most of you, so chew on this great stat from Jeff Giordat: Holtby is now 9-0 after losses this season.
Here are some other interesting stats to chew on regarding Game 6, Game 7 and the series in general:
- Alex Ovechkin scored his 30th career playoff goal, tying him for first all-time in Capitals franchise history with Petr Bondra. Gosh, Ovechkin is such a choker.
- The Ovechkin Era Capitals is 2-0 in playoff series against the Henrik Lundqvist-fueled New York Rangers. Washington won the two teams' Game 7 at home.
- It'll be a bigger challenge for a wide variety of reasons, but most interestingly: Giordat points out that the Rangers are 4-0 all-time in Game 7's at Madison Square Garden.
The most depressing stat? No hockey games until Saturday night. Fear not, though, because we'll be here to pump you full of banter, stats and whimsy.

THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY The 2002/03 California State University Budget The 2002/03 Governor's Budget for the California State University (CSU) makes access to higher education its top priority. The proposed budget provides a net increase of $82.3 million in the budget year, including full funding for a 4% increase in enrollment and continued expansion of year-round operations. The budget also includes targeted reductions in the current year and budget year, and as such must be considered within the context of the state's overall fiscal condition. State Faces $12.5 Billion Deficit Due to rising unemployment, slowing personal income growth, and a significant decline in capital gains and stock options, state revenues have fallen well short of expectations. The state budget proposed by Governor Davis identifies a budget shortfall of $12.5 billion, including deficits in the current fiscal year of $3 billion and in the budget-year (2002/03 fiscal year, beginning 7/1/02) of $9 billion. Faced with this funding gap, the proposed budget uses a variety of strategies to balance revenues and spending, including spending cuts and deferrals, revenue accelerations, asset sales, and loans from special funds. The budget's basic strategy reflects an assumption that the current funding gap is temporary, resulting from a recession that is expected to be mild and short-lived. The budget also takes into account the $2.5 billion in mid-year reductions proposed by Governor Davis in November and adopted by the Legislature in late January. Proposed CSU Budget Protects Access Based on the funding provided in the governor's proposal, the CSU's budget plan identifies the following priorities: · $87.9 million (including student fee revenue) to support projections of a 4% enrollment increase, an increase of 12,030 full-time equivalent students (FTES). · $1.35 million to fully fund year-round instruction at one additional campus, Chico. The proposed budget preserves the principle of funding state-supported summer operations at the full marginal cost rate. · $22.38 million for a 1% increase in employee compensation, subject to collective bargaining. · $21.02 million to allow the system to meet mandatory cost obligations (health benefit premium increases, new space, and property insurance increases). · $5 million to support required equipment for the CSU's Integrated Technology Strategy initiative. The 2002-03 CSU Budget Page Two For the eighth year in a row, the budget does not raise student fees. However, unlike recent years, it does not provide the funding necessary to "buy-out" such an increase ($27.8 million was requested in the Trustees' budget for this purpose). The proposal also includes three targeted reductions in CSU's budget: $6.5 million in the Education Technology Professional Development Program; $14.5 million in excess financial aid funds provided in prior years when fees were at a higher level (which amounts to a reduction in the State University Grant); and a $5 million reduction in the Cal-Teach Teacher Recruitment Program. The budget also continues the $20 million mid-year reduction for natural gas costs and a $9.5 undesignated reduction, both of which were part of the governor's November reduction package. In addition to these budget reductions, CSU expects energy costs to increase by $24 million in 2002-03, leaving the system with a budget year "hole" of $41 million. Capital Outlay Budget Consistent With Trustee's Priorities On the Capital Outlay side, the budget provides $258.8 million from future general obligation bonds, including $110.4 million for the continuation of 20 previously approved projects at 15 campuses, $128.4 million for 10 new projects at 9 campuses, and $20 million for minor projects systemwide. In addition, CSU projects (at San Francisco, San Marcos, and Los Angeles) are accelerated and included in the governor's economic stimulus package under consideration by the Legislature. The Message The CSU appreciates the commitment the Administration has shown in the January budget proposal to access during this exceedingly difficult year. However, continuing deficiencies exist in the CSU budget, including lags in faculty and staff compensation; long-term deficiencies in libraries, instructional equipment and deferred maintenance; and unfunded operational costs – including an estimated increase in electricity costs of $24 million in 2002-03. It is therefore critical that the current level of funding be maintained, and further cuts not made in CSU's budget, should the overall state condition continue to erode. As the budget proceeds through the subcommittee process towards the release of the May Revise, the CSU's priorities for increased funding will be employee compensation and, as needed, increased access through additional funding for enrollment. ACTION ITEMS · Maintain Governor's Budget For CSU · Educate Members on Existing Deficiencies and Ongoing Budget Cuts · Increase Compensation for All Employees · Additional Funding for Enrollment Growth, As Needed

UC Irvine Medical and Computer Science Students Team Up for First-Ever Med AppJam
Medical and computer science students rarely mingle in the same conference room, much less the same part of campus, but as the intersection between technology and healthcare continues to widen, Med AppJam at University of California, Irvine (UCI) shows that the two groups have quite a bit in common.
UCI School of Medicine and Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences students teamed up in the first-ever "app jam" designed to create Apple-based applications with health care utility. Nineteen teams of five to six students signed up to hammer out caffeine-fueled ideas over a frenzied week of collaboration, blogging all the way. Their efforts generated apps that can remind users to take their meds, help patients better explain the basis of their pain to their physicians, and efficiently track patient medical histories, just to name a few.
In a student center conference room on November 19, the teams presented their products to judges from the UCI faculty and high-tech companies including Apple, with the top three teams receiving $1000, $500, and $250 respectively as prizes.
The team that created Life Buoy — Bren School students Matthew Chan, Bryan Lam, Drake Tetreault, Lita Patel, and MD/MBA students Peggy Bui and Joe Hanson — took home the top prize for their app that creates a network in which patients and physicians can quickly connect through their smart phones and tablets.
The Life Buoy app — designed to be particularly helpful during disaster situations, like Hurricane Sandy — is far from finished, Hanson admits, but he says investors have been approaching the team, possibly to support their efforts to completion.
"As a team, we were all able to funnel our ideas into one direction," Bui said. "It's still a work in progress, but we're excited about what we can accomplish with Life Buoy."
Collaboration between students in the two schools seemed inevitable. The Bren School's ICS Student Council regularly sponsors AppJam competitions. Med AppJam was inspired by the UCI School of Medicine's iMedEd initiative, which is the basis of the nation's first medical education program to completely adopt the iPad format for classroom and clinical skills training. Many UCI medical students have embraced the iMedEd esthetic, learning how to program and regularly reviewing medical education apps and technology on their iMedEd blog.
"This is where medicine is heading – towards mobile medicine, using smart phones and iPads to access healthcare," Dr. Ralph Clayman, dean of the UCI School of Medicine said. "With Med AppJam, we see the powerful association between computer science and medical students at UCI to create new and effective ways for people to connect."

We count the number of occurrences of t as the summands (i) in the compositions of a positive integer n into r parts; and (ii) in all compositions of n; and subsequently obtain other results involving compositions. The initial counting further helps to solve the enumeration problems for complete homogeneous symmetric polynomial.

Hakami firstname.lastname@example.com Let $m$ be a positive integer with $m < p/2$ and $p$ is a prime. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field in $q = p^f$ elements, $Q({\mathbf{x}})$ be a nonsinqular quadratic form over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ odd, $V$ be the set of points in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ satisfying the equation $Q({\mathbf{x}}) = 0$ in which the variables are restricted to a box of points of the type\[\mathcal{B}(m) = \left\{ {{\mathbf{x}} \in \mathbb{F}_q^n \left| {x_i = \sum\limits_{j = 1}^f {x_{ij} \xi _j } ,\;\left| {x_{ij} } \right| < m,\;1 \leqslant i \leqslant n,\;1 \leqslant j \leqslant f} \right.} \right\},\]where $\xi _1 , \ldots ,\xi _f$ is a basis for $\mathbb{F}_q$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $n > 2$ even. Set $\Delta = \det Q$ such that $\chi \left( {( - 1)^{n/2} \Delta } \right) = 1.$ We shall motivate work of (Cochrane, 1986) to obtain lower bounds on $m,$ size of the box $\mathcal{B},$ so that $\mathcal{B} \cap V$ is nonempty. For this we show that the box $\mathcal{B}(m)$ contains a zero of $Q({\mathbf{x}})$ provided that $m \geqslant p^{1/2}.$ We also show that the box $\mathcal{B}(m)$ contains $n$ linearly independent zeros of $Q({\mathbf{x}})$ provided that $m \geqslant 2^{n/2} p^{1/2} .$ 2015-03-22T00:00:00-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/46646 Soliton Solutions of a General Rosenau-Kawahara-RLW Equation 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Jin-ming Zuo firstname.lastname@example.com In this paper, we consider a general Rosenau-Kawahara-RLW equation.

In each iteration, the subproblemsare convex quadratic minimization problem with simple constraintsand a well-conditioned system of nonlinear equations that can be efficiently solvedusing classical methods. Researchers have recently described the convergence rateof projection and contraction methods for variational inequality problems andthe original ADM and its linearized variant. Motivated and inspired by researchinto the convergence rate of these methods, we provide a simple proof to show the $O(1/k)$ convergencerate of alternating directions methods for structured monotone variational inequality problems (He, 2001). 2015-03-27T00:00:00-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/45054 On Co-screen Conformality of 1-lightlike Submanifolds in a Lorentzian Manifold 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Erol Kilic email@example.com Sadik Keles firstname.lastname@example.com Mehmet Gulbahar firstname.lastname@example.com In this paper, the co-screen conformal 1-lightlike submanifolds of a Lorentzian manifoldare introduced as a generalization of co-screen locally half-lightlike submanifolds in(Wang, Wang {\&} Liu, 2013; Wang {\&} Liu, 2013) and two examples are given whichone is co-screen locally conformal andthe other is not. Some results are obtained on these submanifolds whichthe co-screen distribution is conformal Killing on the ambient manifold.The induced Ricci tensor of co-screen conformal 1-lightlike submanifolds isinvestigated. 2015-04-06T18:20:33-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/47289 Probabilistic Analysis of Balancing Scores for Causal Inference 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Priyantha Wijayatunga email@example.com Propensity scores are often used for stratification of treatment and control groups of subjects in observational data to remove confounding bias when estimating of causal effect of the treatment on an outcome in so-called potential outcome causal modeling framework. In this article, we try to get some insights into basic behavior of the propensity scores in a probabilistic sense. We do a simple analysis of their usage confining to the case of discrete confounding covariates and outcomes. While making clear about behavior of the propensity score our analysis shows how the so-called prognostic score can be derived simultaneously. However the prognostic score is derived in a limited sense in the current literature whereas our derivation is more general and shows all possibilities of having the score. And we call it outcome score. We argue that application of both the propensity score and the outcome score is the most efficient way for reduction of dimension in the confounding covariates as opposed to current belief that the propensity score alone is the most efficient way. 2015-04-07T00:00:00-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/47290 On Solvability of an Inverse Boundary Value Problem for Pseudo Hyperbolic Equation of the Fourth Order 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Yashar T. Mehraliyev firstname.lastname@example.com Afaq F. Huseynova email@example.com We analyze the solvability of the inverse boundary problem with an unknown coefficient depended on time for the pseudo hyperbolic equation of fourth order with periodic and integral conditions.The initial problem is reduced to an equivalent problem. With the help of the Fourier method, the equivalent problem is reduced to a system of integral equations. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the integral equations is proved. The obtained solution of the integral equations is also the only solution to the equivalent problem. Basing on the equivalence of the problems, the theorem of the existence and uniqueness of the classical solutions of the original problem is proved. 2015-04-07T00:00:00-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/45564 A Spline Group – Korovkin Approximation Theorem 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Malik Saad Al-Muhja firstname.lastname@example.com In this paper, using homogeneous groups, we prove a Korovkin type approximation theorem for a spline groupby using the notion of a generalization of positive linear operator. 2015-04-07T18:21:26-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/46264 On the Irreducibility of Artin's Group of Graphs 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Malak M. Dally firstname.lastname@example.com Mohammad N. Abdulrahim firstname.lastname@example.com We consider the graph $E_{3,1}$ with three generators $\sigma_1, \sigma_2, \delta$, where $\sigma_1$ has an edge with each of $\;\sigma_2$ and $\;\delta$. We then define the Artin group of the graph $E_{3,1}$ and consider its reduced Perron representation of degree three. After we specialize the indeterminates used in defining the representation to non-zero complex numbers, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees the irreducibility of the representation.

Some techniques, such as the calculus of variations, energy analysis method, commutativity of the products of difference operators, decomposition of high-order difference operators and the theory of a priori estimates are introduced and an optimal order error estimates in $l^2$ norm is derived. This method has been applied successfully the numerical simulation of enhanced oil production in actual oilfields, and the simulation results are quite interesting and satisfactory. 2015-05-07T20:29:43-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/46896 A Rational Approximation for Efficient Computation of the Voigt Function in Quantitative Spectroscopy 2015-05-22T20:46:00-07:00 Sanjar M. Abrarov firstname.lastname@example.com Brendan M. Quine firstname.lastname@example.com We present a rational approximation for rapid and accurate computation of the Voigt function, obtained by sampling and residue calculus. The computational test reveals that with only $16$ summation terms this approximation provides average accuracy ${10^{ - 14}}$ over a wide domain of practical interest $0 < x < 40,000$ and ${10^{ - 4}} < y < {10^2}$ for applications using the HITRAN molecular spectroscopic database. The proposed rational approximation takes less than half the computation time of that required by Weideman\text{'}s rational approximation.

K-rotation symmetric Boolean functions are a special rotation symmetric functions, which are invariant under the $k-th$ power of $\rho$.In this paper, we discuss cubic 2-value 2-rotation symmetric Boolean function with $2n$ variables, which denoted by $F^{2n}(x^{2n})$. We give the recursive formula of weight of $F^{2n}(x^{2n})$, and prove that the weight of $F^{2n}(x^{2n})$ is the same as its nonlinearity. 2015-05-23T00:00:00-07:00 http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/49163 A Method to Construct Sets of Commuting Matrices 2015-05-22T20:57:28-07:00 Hongmei Wang firstname.lastname@example.com Guoju Ye firstname.lastname@example.com Hao Zhou firstname.lastname@example.com Bing Liang firstname.lastname@example.com Using the method of upper and lower solutions, we study theexistence of solutions of the hyperbolic equation involving thedistributional Henstock-Kurzweil integral.

Tired of beating the winners
I am tired to beat the winners. I want us to finaly win something but ... it sounds irealistic in the short term.
We went to Shoot out with the Olympic champion. (Canada)
We beat the World champion (Czech Republic)
A Swiss team beat the Stanley Cup Champion (ZSC Lions beat Chicago Black Hawks for the Victoria Cup)
Our juniors became Junior world Champions
If Spaniards win it on Sunday, we will be the only team having beaten them !!!
Seriously! can't we behave normaly ?? and loose against those teams and qualify for the semifinals ?? Please ?
Thomas Roost
Be happy that they beat the Czech's and Canadian's, because it's not something they should expect very often. Both countries are head and shoulders above the Swiss and many countries are starting to gain ground on them. You guys have a good young generation coming up though (Niedereitter, Sbisa, Josi) so hopefully that will translate to a few more wins.
Thomas Roost
Sure, teams' expectations can shift from winning a tourament to hoping to make it to the semis, or from qualifying for the knock out round to avoiding relegation, but I don't think anyone should expect a significant shift in the hockey world order just because a team's core is getting older and prospects are slow to come.
1. Canada - 95/100 points
Had some small problems around 10 years ago, when I thought that the Europeans have a slight edge in the skating-department and partly with the hand-skills. It did change. In the last couple of years Canada did come back very strong. A lot of strong power-skaters, every year some guys with really good hand-skills and overall still standing strong for No.1
2. USA - 93/100 points
Biggest improvement in the last couple of years of all hockey-countries. Every year a lot of excellent skaters (powerskating), very dynamic players, passionate players, good skills. The US-junior-program results in the tendency to close the gap to Canada.
3. Sweden - 92/100 points
Biggest improvement lately of all European countries. Unbelievable good basic-educated young players. Skating, hand-skills, physical development, tactical-behaviour. I think Sweden has the best program together with the US-Ann-Arbour. Maybe the teams still lack a tiny little bit positive aggressivity and sometimes grit but still: I'm very impressed.
4. Russia - 89/100 points
Russia did fall a bit in the ranking, not necessarily because they did do really bad - they still have year by year some good talent, I think their slight falling has more to do with the big improvement of the US- and the Swedish-program.
5. Finland - 80/100 points
Finland is besides Canada the only real hockey-country. They still don't produce the skillful players Sweden does but they also start to improve their program and try to follow the Swedish foot-steps.
6. Czech Rep. - 77/100 points
Not so long ago the Czechs were on top in Europe, close together with Russia. Then the Swedish-program did come along, the Russians stayed more or less the same and sadly enough I see a small decline of the Czech program lately.
7. Switzerland - 73/100 points
Compared with other countries we had a very good program 10 years ago but then other countries did take their next step and the Swiss did just stay where they were, not much improvement in the last 10 years. Now there are some signs of small further improvement in the next couple of years, e.g. Swiss hockey-academy.
8. Slovakia - 72/100 points
Similar situation than the Czech Republic but still producing every secons or third year the one or the other very skillful player. Some problems and in the tendency a bit declining but still a hockey-country
9. Germany - 71/100 points
Germany has an underrated program and in some melting-points (Mannheim, Bavaria) they still produce some nice players and they did do even a bit more lately. GER/SWI and SLK are very close.
10. Belarus - 69/100 points
A lot of money in the program and some basically well educated players (skating, handskills) but should try to become more competitive and have more games vs NA-teams what probably would help a bit.
11. Denmark - 68/100 points
Some really good young players lately, thanks to the possibility to move to Swedish programs at a very young age. Good, skillful, enthusiastic and optimistic players, still lack a bit individual tactical and disciplined behaviour sometimes on the ice. Not as good without the puck as the Swiss e.g.
12. Norway - 67/100 points
Norway did improve in the last two years, I'm impressed. They produced the one or the other player and I hope it's not just a fluke. I don't know their program in detail but I read and listen about some indications that this is not just one or two good age-groups, it seems to be a real improvement.
So, these are my spontaneous thoughts at this point in July 2010.
I'm ready to discuss.
Thomas Roost
Central Scouting Europe / NHL
I don't quite understand why you are grouping the Czech's in this group as well. They are definately head and shoulders above the Swiss at this point and look to remain so in the future. Who do the Swiss have that can match current players like:Jagr, Krejci, Elias, Kaberle,Z and M Michalek, Havlat, Erat, Hejduk, Kubina, Vrbata, Vokoun, Hemsky, etc? Or what young/up and coming players do the Swiss have that can match: Voracek, Tlusty, Frolik, Kindl, Pavelec, Smid, Neuvirth, Polak, Sobotka, Hanzal or Repik?
Switzerland has looked to be on the verge of breaking out now for the last 10+ years, yet still haven't taken that step to join the "Big 7". Until they win a medal in a major tournament (WC, OG, etc.) they can't be grouped with those other teams, even if IIHF rankings place the Swiss in 7th+. Teams like Denmark, Norway, and Germany all look to have the potential to be as good as the Swiss in the coming years.
It's funny and interesting that I finally did find someone who thinks that I'm overrating the Swiss hockey-development. Usually all posters in all forums basically think that I'm too critical with the Swiss and that I definitely underrate them... ok - nearly all these posters are Swiss and you seem to be a Toronto-guy and I do respect the average hockey-knowledge of Toronto-guys since I discussed a lot of hockey with guys living in this great area in and around Toronto. But still I dare not to agree with everything.
Basically you have to understand that I do judge with my rankings what is going to be and not what is now and was last year and definitely not what was in the last 3-10 years. With my rankings I don't take into consideration age-groups with players like Jagr, Sundin, Satan and so on. I judge what happened in juniors approx. in the last 3 years and what will happen in juniors in the next 3 years. I absolutely respect that we don't have players in a "Gaborik, Chara-category" - but tell me - when did the Slovaks produce such caliber-players lately - it was years ago... not anymore...
Yes, I agree, that Germany, Norway and Denmark are nearly on our level already, it's really very close but we still have the slight edge and there are some indications that it will be not easy for these countries to overtake us in the next couple of years, they will be equal at best but our programm will make some small steps in the right direction.
No, I don't agree with you that the Slovaks still have an edge over the Swiss in international junior-competitions. The games between them are since maybe three years VERY equal with Swiss having a little better teams and the Slovaks have still the small edge with their top-players but actually also this view is very shaky lately if you look at Josi, Sbisa and Niederreiter. The Czechs did come down a bit but are still better - and I also show this in my ranking and the quality-points - but it's not anymore "head and shoulders-better", no - I don't agree with this. Your first mentioned group with Jagr, Elias, Havlat, Hejduk I do agree with head and shoulders but the second group, the younger group with Voracek, Tlusty, Frolik I don't agree- yes they are still better but not head and shoulders - I can tell you that Josi is really good - you will mark my word - Niederreiter was a top5-pick (with this he might be a bit overrated but he definitely deserved to be a top10-pick), Sbisa is a top-prospect what is supported by a consensus of NHL-scouts. I agree that we still have problems to produce high-end-players but we lately produced a big amount of good players. The proof for this thesis was our team in the last WC - we played with a "B-Team" and still managed to compete with Canada and the Czechs (incl. Jagr) and did beat in a really good game the "A-team" of Latvia.
Thomas Roost
Central Scouting Europe / NHL
Here is how you can look at it:
Players under 25 who have or will probably have NHL careers.
Czech Republic
M. Michalek (26)
Mayer (born in Czech)
Simek (Slovak born, does he rep. Swiss?)
Which country do you think has the better team?
FTR I don't have anything against the Swiss and I hope that they continue to improve because I want hockey to grow everywhere, but I really do think that you are wrong with your analysis of the Swiss. I'm sorry, but that is just my opinion.
Thomas Roost
Central Scouting Europe / NHL
Do you include all the young guys that will be playing in Canada next year ... in CHL on the Swiss side or do you also exclude them from the Czech roster ?? (ex Alain Berger, Nils Berger, Dominique Schlumpf, Sven Bartschi ... etc ... )
(I am very ignorant about the Czech players on your list ... therefore I ask this )
My ultimate question being : are we comparing apple to apple and pear to pear with these lists ?
I guess your confusing on which nation have more NHLer. In that case, yeah, the Czech or the Slovaks have more players but that doesn't mean they're teams are better than ours.
During the Olympics in Torino in 2006, Swi manage to beat the Czech 3-2, a team which had all their NHL superstars.
Personaly, i think the NHL is overrated.
Why is it that you think the NHL is overrated? You realize that the league minimum is around $500K per season, right? They don't take just anyone from this league, it is the best league in the world because they can attract the best players. Why else do you think players like Ovechkin, Malkin, Semin, Kovy, the Sedin's, Lidstrom, Chara, Hiller and the rest of the European players that can make it come over to play? These guys could make the same, if not more money in the KHL, but they all stay because it's the NHL.
Look at the European leagues. Outside of a few guys in the KHL (Nabby, Jagr, Radulov, etc.) the majority of the players in those leagues are AHL/ECHL calibur players who go back home (or NA's go over) to collect a bigger paycheck because they can't crack NHL rosters. If they could make an NHL team, I bet you the vast majority of them would be over here making $700k+ per season instead of the $150kish they make in Europe.
So please, explain to me why you think the NHL is overrated.
The NHL is overrated IMO because if you look at the Olympics in Torino and WHC where teams such as Italy,Germany, Belarus, Latvia with practicaly no NHL star, still manage to put a fight with Canada and other big nations, and lose by only a few goals...
Those so called "little nation" are now catching up with the so-called "big-nations" and they did with practicaly no NHL superstars.
And that's the reason why i think the NHL is overrated.
I also believe that the "NHL" tag as to say that a player is good is overrated.
most of the world best players are their. OK
Their are many "cheap" players that are their as well. The "NHL" tag for these ones is overrated.
Therefore measuring the level of countries by the number of NHL players is innapropriate.
Specially for us, since we have a very decent league. Many Swiss players stay at home.
Unlike the Danes or others ... .
Why are you bringing up Torino and the WC as proof that the NHL is overrated? You really believe that those nations are catching up? Or do you think they may just be improving? Either way look at the best players on each team: Belarus- Grabo, Kostitsyn bro's, Salei, Koltsov, Kalyuzhin, Denisov. The first four are in the NHL and the last three couldn't cut it (Kalyuzhin wasn't drafted). Germany has Hecht, Sturm, Ehrhoff, Seidenberg, Sulzer, Holzer, Goc, Schubert, Greiss, Endras who all have current or last season had NHL contracts. Italy has 0 players in the NHL or KHL. Latvia has Bartulis, Kulda, Skratsins, Daugavins, Karsums, Sprukts with the last two not being able to crack the NHL full time, while being given ample opportunity.
I don't see where you're going with this. The best players on all of those teams play in NHL organizations. The score in a few games at an Olympics in 2006 doesn't really have any impact on today and WC's are not really a good tournament to judge nations by because most of them are missing their best players because of the playoffs. These small nations aren't catching up, they are just improving. As long as Canada, Russia, Sweden and USA all continue to produce top end NHL talent, these nations will continue to dominate. Look at any of the rosters I just mentioned from the 2010 Olympics and show me how any of Latvia, Belarus, Germany, Switzerland or Italy are catching up. Look at the amount of players being drafted from each and that will give you a good idea on how amazing they are getting.
I think you got it right if you tell that the small nations are improving but not catching up. They are especially improving with plain results because the easiest way to "improve" is to play very good and disciplined defense, to play clever without the puck and this e.g. exactly what Switzerland does. So the results on first sight are much better than 15-20 years ago when we did loose with double-digit numbers to the big nations. So we loose usually in pretty tight games result-wise and even win the one or the other but if you analyse the skill-difference between our players - and the same goes for the other small nation-players - and the best Canadien, Swedish. Russian, US-players - it's still pretty big - but it doesn't result anymore in huge goal-difference because the small nations did learn how to destroy a constructive game how to keep the goal-against-score low. Actually I noticed the same in the soccer-world-cup. Switzerland did beat Spain in a lucky game but if you analyse fair the game, experts will find out that the Spanish players are so much better than ours.
Those Russians have stated they can go back in KHL if they don't play in Sochi. KHL still an option for them. Once the league improve its facilities, structure and sign more big names and others things, they may even consider to come back in their homeland. Russians definitely prefer playing in their homeland than in N.A. Their "hearts" is in Russia NOT in the NHL.
The wrong thinking is to think that looking at the amount of players being drafted from each and to think this will give you a good idea on how good there countries will fare in competitions. Drafting are made by GM scouts who most of them are conservative and prefer drafting N.A. based players. N.A. based players will always have a favoritism over the European players, which of course give tremendous advantage to Canadians and US players. Many Swiss players such as Conz and Berger weren't drafted because of some "criteria" but they're is no doubt that they are better players than most N.A. based players who were drafted.
Those countries which i mention have no "superstars" in the NHL but players who play in the NHL. Despite the gap, they still can put a fight with the big nations and lose only by a few goals.
During the WHC 2010 finals, Czech republic has beaten Russia 2-1 who plays with almost all their superstars from the Olympics. Except the goalie and a defenseman, czech players plays mostly in KHL.
The ZSC-lions defeated the Stanley cup champions 2-1 at the Victoria Cup.
The NHL is certainly not an "extraterrestrial" hockey league anymore, and yes it is overrated...:naughty:
Your examples for comparing the level are not really well chosen in my eyes. The WC is usually a third-priority-tournament for good NHLers and in years with the Olympics it's even just a fourth-priority-tournament. The game between the Black Hawks and the ZSC-Lions was even a sixth or seventh-priority for the Black Hawks and if you want to judge these results in games between NHL-teams and non NHL-teams and analyse them in the last 10 years...the statistic is just brutal for the non- NHL-teams, I think the other team who did beat an NHL-team was the AHL-farm-team who did beat the Flyers somehow...Actually all this reminds me of my time with the FCZ (professional soccer-team in Switzerland). We sometimes organised test games between the 1st team and the reserves and usually the reserves did win... but nobody really did think seriously that the reserve-team-players are better or even close...
To come back to your statement: I agree to a certain point that it's not fair to just count the amount of NHL-players because in my eyes the difference of quality between the best 100 players playing in European leagues and 3rd of 4th-liners in the NHL is very small but - the quality-difference between top2-unit-players in the NHL and the rest of the world - this is a pretty big gap. So in my eyes it would be a fair comparison between countries if you count their NHL-impact-players, difference-makers.

The Olympics was dubbed as the "greatest hockey tournament ever" by the media. I think every players on every teams gave its best heart-out performance during the tournaments. There is absolutely no denial on this. Saying it was a fourth priority tournaments for some players is complete bulls.
You cannot discount the Phantoms for beating the Flyers. This was an exhibitions games where nothing were at stakes.
As for the statistics for NHL teams vs non-NHL teams in the last 10 years, they're is no denying that the NHL teams have more victories than their Euro teams counterparts, but those were "exhibitions" games.
I could reply by taking the statistics during the post-Soviet era and watch most of the Russian teams destroying their NHL teams counterparts.
Of course the Black Hawks are polite and classy in not telling cheap excuses after the surprising loss to the ZSC Lions but everybody still knows what priority this game had for the Black Hawks, and yes - they played with their best players, no question about that... but still, I guess we are watching different movies if you really believe that this game was more than an exhibition game for the Black Hawks and I guess we don't want to start to spread the facts that the Black Hawks were before the season, did make the trip just 48 hours ago and I don't know how many practices they had on the big sheet and if I remember right there was also a game the night before vs an even better Swiss team. What was the result there, I can't remember? And yes still.... the Lions played very, very well in this game and proof exactly what I did present in an earlier post...in today's hockey and soccer, even much worse teams can hold onto a tight result even if they have the much worse players. This is a tendency of modern sports. Playing defense to close perfection is the first step not so good teams can do and in todays world a lot of not so good teams play defense close to perfect. Switzerland did beat Spain in soccer...but still not just one Spanish team is thinking one split-second of hiring a Swiss player from this team...and the polite Blackhawks? Did they hire a Lions-player, did they draft a Swiss player? No they didn't and I guarantee you that the reason is definitely not that they are stupid... Yes, they did give an invitation to Patrick Geering for some summer-camp in Chicago, fair enough and congratulations to Patrick, he deserves this great experience, this made even some headline-letters in the Swiss hockey-media. Do you know how many try-out-invitations the Black Hawks did give to players who never were drafted and who are not under an NHL-contract? I guess it's more than 30...

Because the ones coming over to Europe for a Cup or NHL season start game have a right to get a decent warm up to fight the jet lag and to build some confidence on the big ice. And all of this of course without any players injured.
That's what SC Bern and HC Davos had to do and perfectly did. Davos was a bit better than Bern, because Davos made them not only confident, but slightly overconfident.
Why saying that the Blackhawks did not draft any Swiss players because of the result of this Victoria cup? is that has anything to do with what we were saying?!?
Well the Blackhawks has more than 72 kids coming to their prospect camps. They do have an incredible depths indeed...so what?!?....
I also recalled that El Nino wanted to play for the Blackhawks and those "Hawks agents" really wanted to add "El Nino" on their rosters but the price for the Hawks to trade down was simply too much to get him.

The Space
You will enjoy the cozy, serene setting of this garden studio, which is located walking distance from West Menlo Park shops and restaurants, and less than 10 minutes drive/bike ride from Stanford, Sand Hill Road, downtown Menlo Park and the Caltrain station.
It has a private entrance and is nestled next to a beautifully landscaped garden. It's stylishly furnished and equipped with a comfortable double bed, a couch/office area, and basic kitchen amenities (microwave, refrigerator, hot plate, toaster oven, kitchen sink and dishes). The futon can also become a second bed (queen size), if desired.
For those who like to watch movies, the studio boasts a large flatscreen TV with satellite/cable (including HBO) and WiFi. For those traveling for work, there is a desk plus plenty of shelf space and an adjustable swivel chair. When you're not inside the studio, enjoy the garden area, complete with a BBQ and an inviting outdoor living space. During your stay, try to take a walk/jog through Atherton, a bike ride to Woodside and/or experience the shopping at Stanford Shopping Center.
The best local restaurant options, walking distance, are top-rated Flea Street Cafe and casual Lulu's (Mexican). In case you need wine, groceries or a good cup of coffee during your stay, there is also a convenient market located steps away. They even carry local Napa wines and most random necessities!
Menlo Park is conveniently located between San Francisco and San Jose. My house is closest to the 280 freeway (less traffic into the City) and a few minutes from Stanford. Half Moon Bay is approx 30-45 minutes away by car. I look forward to welcoming you to all of the charm that Menlo Park has to offer!
No smoking in the house. No pets unless otherwise agreed.
Bedding and towels are provided. Please treat the space as if it were your home :-)
I ask that you turn any loud down music by 10pm, as this is a quiet neighborhood.
{Note that there is a dog in the main residence, which shares the same yard, but of course the dog would not be entering your space at any time, for any reason}.

Amanda is a great host, very thoughtful and welcoming upon arrival. She had coffee, milk, OJ in the place already. Handful of restaurants in walking distance, and a corner store for basics even closer. Cottage is clean and private and well-designed. Thanks, Amanda!
I enjoyed my stay at the cozy garden cottage. It was clean, comfortable and private. It was conveniently located close to restaurants and a small store. Amanda happen to be out of town, but she kept in touch and available in case I had questions.
We had a great stay at Amanda's cottage. She was extremely welcoming and accommodating. The cottage is clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed and conveniently located. We were there for a month and felt right at home thanks to Amanda and her adorable dog, Gus. We will definitely be back.
I have enjoyed the stay. The room is comfortable, the description and pictures were accurate. I haven't interacted much with the host, as she was out of town for most of the time I stayed there.
The stay at Amanda's was great. Nice cozy and clean.
This 5 days spent at Amanda's place were perfect. Amanda is a great host welcoming you with maybe what is the most important: a huge and sincere smile.
Beyond that, the place is better than on the pictures, easy to feel like home, quiet, super clean and close to many great spots in the Valley.
I cannot do anything else but recommend to choose Amanda's place if you come around Menlo Park.

About the Host, Amanda
I work in tech and am fortunate to have lived in Europe, back when mobile technologies were first taking off. I've traveled extensively, and have grown to appreciate a good host! When not at work, I enjoy outdoor adventures, such as skiing and road biking or spending quality time with friends. I'm also investing in a start-up to help provide Airbnb hosts with new tools.
I've been a landlord for 10+ years, and I am regularly hosting out-of-town guests, especially international visitors. I firmly believe that staying in someone's home in a nice neighborhood beats a hotel hands-down ;)
Because I enjoyed the Airbnb experience so much, I've added to my portfolio by working with close friends. We've found that by working together, we can provide the best experience for our guests! Same quality, efficiency, communication process, etc. plus we've already learned all of the tips/conveniences and can apply it to multiple properties.
We look forward to welcoming you! All of our properties are well-located, quiet, charming and family-friendly with awesome hostesses and a personal touch to make your stay a pleasant one!

Is it possible to create a kind of filter/template how numeric fields should be filled in with specific numbers ie. phone numbers.
I'd like to demand users to provide phone numbers split into groups for instance 123-444-555 or 123 444 555, not 123444555 so that dashes or spaces are inserted automatically after ie. each 3 figures. I saw something like that at Gravity forms where it was possible to define dividers as * or something like that.
Can I do that with Types numeric fields?

Whoopie Pies
From EatingWell: July/August 2008
Classic whoopie pies combine a creamy filling sandwiched between cakey chocolate cookies. Some are filled with a marshmallow cream frosting while others are filled with whipped cream. Even those of us who grew up with the former fell in love with our lighter version of the whipped cream-filled treats.
Makes: 16 whoopie pies

Nutrition Profile
Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low cholesterol | Low sodium | Healthy weight |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup nonfat milk
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
- To prepare cookies: Beat oil, brown sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk; beat until smooth. Let the batter stand for 15 minutes.
- Drop batter by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, spreading the batter into a 2- to 3-inch circle with the back of a spoon if it doesn't spread itself. (Each large baking sheet accommodates 8 cookies"they will be close together.) Bake the cookies until firm to the touch, about 8 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Wash, dry and coat the baking sheets with cooking spray again. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- To prepare filling: While the cookies cool, stir water and gelatin in a small heatproof cup or bowl. Let stand 1 minute. Microwave, uncovered, on High until the gelatin has completely dissolved but the liquid is not boiling, 20 to 30 seconds. (Alternatively, bring 1/2 inch water to a gentle simmer in a small skillet. Set the bowl with the gelatin mixture in the simmering water until the gelatin has dissolved completely.) Stir the mixture until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Beat cream, yogurt, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very thick, about 1 minute. With the mixer beating constantly, add the gelatin mixture in a steady steam until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until the cream filling is thickened to the consistency of pudding, about 30 minutes. Whisk again until smooth.
- To assemble whoopie pies: Turn half the cookies bottom side up and top with a generous 2 tablespoons of the cream. Top with the remaining cookies. Chill in the refrigerator until the filling is set, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling (Steps 4-5) and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Store the cookies (Step 3) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Refrigerate the assembled Whoopie Pies, uncovered, for up to 4 hours.
