It's been yet another busy month for all of us, and especially in this space (cyber conflict and cyber warfare). DARPA's PlanX BAA was released along with a new BAA dubbed 'VET' to investigate hardware security based on the Congressional report on Huawei and ZTE, Syria cut off Internet for their citizens, and much more. The links below caught my eye as being notable events in the past month.
RSS cautions against cyber threat from China
The three-day all-India executive meeting of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the 87-year-old organisation, came to an end at suburban Kelambakkam here on Sunday, with a call to formulate a comprehensive national security policy.
Contending that China posed a threat in cyber technology and communications, a resolution said the neighbouring country, with huge investments in cyber warfare security, had become so strong that it could cripple the technological capabilities of even advanced nations such as the U.S.
India, UK to conduct talks bi-annually on cyber security
In a bid to boost cooperation in the cyber security domain, India and the UK today decided to to conduct their Cyber Dialogue on a bi-annual basis to achieve objectives such as reducing the risk of threats from cyberspace to international security and tackle cyber crime. This was announced after a comprehensive discussion between external affairs minister Salman Khurshid and his British counterpart William Hague on wide-ranging issues, including defence, counter-terrorism and cyber security.
A Joint Statement on Cooperation between India and the United Kingdom on Cyber Issues was also issued on the occasion.
Creating Cyber Warfare Warriors
MADISON, SD – Cyber warfare isn't just a Hollywood plot line. It's real. The United States is ramping up protection against a growing number of attacks on federal defense and security networks. If successful, foreign attackers could severely cripple those networks, leaving the nation vulnerable.
Syria Internet, mobiles down for third day
DAMASCUS – Syrian Internet and mobile phone links remained cut for a third straight day on Saturday, an AFP correspondent in Damascus reported, amid US accusations the government is deliberately seeking to deprive the opposition of communications.
Note: Over the weekend of December 1-2, 2012, Syrian connectivity was restored.
Additional links:
"DoD relies on millions of devices to bring network access and functionality to its users," said Tim Fraser, DARPA program manager. "Rigorously vetting software and firmware in each and every one of them is beyond our present capabilities, and the perception that this problem is simply unapproachable is widespread. The most significant output of the VET program will be a set of techniques, tools and demonstrations that will forever change this perception."
DARPA-BAA-13-02: Foundational Cyberwarfare (Plan X), Response Date 1/25/2013
DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of understanding, planning, and managing military cyber operations in real-time, large-scale, and dynamic network environments. Plan X will conduct novel research into the nature of cyberwarfare and support development of fundamental strategies needed to dominate the cyber battlespace. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
Blogs & Opinion Pieces
Gary McGraw: Proactive defense prudent alternative to cyberwarfare
Interestingly, the U.S. is in a good position to outspend its adversaries on proactive defense. Proactive defense can be our differentiator and a serious deterrent to war.
Cybersecurity policy must focus on solving the software security problem — fixing our broken systems first. We must refocus our energy on addressing the glass house problem instead of focusing on building faster, more accurate rocks to throw. We must identify, understand and mitigate computer-related risks. We must begin to solve the software security problem.
Cyber-warfare in the Middle East is no game
The Middle East is increasingly on the receiving end of cyber-warfare strikes, more so than any other region in the world, experts estimate. And the attacks have been among the most damaging.
Cyberwarfare Inspires Analysts, Coverage on YouTube, Twitter
The experts are now publishing their views. A draft manual outlining how existing international laws can be applied to conflicts in cyberspace was published by Cambridge University Press in September. Prepared by an international group of experts at the invitation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, the 215-page study "The Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare" examines existing international law that allows countries to legally use force against other nations, as well as laws governing the conduct of armed conflict. The rules of conventional warfare are more difficult to apply in cyberspace, making this analysis critical.
Why Your Intuition About Cyber Warfare is Probably Wrong
by Matthew Miller, Jon Brickey and Gregory Conti
The laws of physics, however, are counterintuitive in cyberspace. In cyberspace, our understanding of the "laws of physics" is turned on its head. Weapons can be reproduced instantly, "bullets" travel at near the speed of light, destroyed targets can be brought back from the dead, and a seventeen year old can command an army. As human beings we are at a distinct disadvantage when thinking intuitively about cyber warfare. In this article we study where our intuition fails us in cyber warfare and suggest alternate ways to think about the conduct of cyber war that account for the vast differences between the kinetic and the non-kinetic fight. A correct understanding and appreciation of these differences and common misconceptions is absolutely necessary to conduct cyber warfare and to integrate cyber effects into the kinetic battlefield.

UT's Bonus Olympian: Coach Eddie Reese
As the drama of the Olympic swimming trials unfolded this past week, many current and former Longhorns shone bright before a national audience. Ricky Berens, Jimmy Feigen, and Brendan Hansen all performed well enough during the trials in Omaha to join their fellow Americans in London for a chance to compete against the best in the world.
Though the task may seem daunting at first, they'll have a familiar face by their sides to guide them past any nerves or anxieties. The last Longhorn to punch his ticket to London, the unsung hero who has been representing the U.S. and UT for four decades now, isn't a competitor at all. The Longhorns' unsung Olympian is men's swimming coach Eddie Reese.
Reese didn't compete for America's heart on television this past week, nor will he probably be seen at all in London, but his pedigree and lifetime of experience will be priceless to new and veteran Olympians alike. As one of three assistant coaches for the U.S. swim team, the London Games will be the seventh straight Olympics Reese has coached (and for three of those, he served as the U.S. team's head swim coach).
Reese has been involved in swimming since the 1960s, and his list of accomplishments would leave most gasping in his wake. Since becoming UT swimming's head coach in 1978, he's won 10 NCAA championships, been named NCAA Coach of the Year several times, and has been inducted into the Longhorn Hall of Honor as well as into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Coach."
It's really no wonder the U.S. team keeps inviting Reese back to the Olympics–all he does is win.
At the end of the month, our Longhorn men will be swimming for themselves, their country, and The University of Texas as world watches. Most wouldn't be there without the wisdom, knowledge, and grooming of Eddie Reese. So while you'll never see him in our Longhorns' brightest moments, it's only fitting that Reese will be right by their side, coaching them from start to finish.

More Than You Might Expect Behind SMS APIs
When I saw three new SMS APIs, Kinross, Oventus & Txttools added to our index I thought that I might as well dive into this telephony area a little more deeply. A few minutes of clicking and I learned just how ignorant I was about this space. My previous understanding of the texting service provider arena was based on limited exposure. I had only heard of Tropo & Twilio and I assumed that they were the main players with other SMS sites simply wrapping around them. It seems that just the opposite is true, and that there is a lot of fragmentation in this area.

Winemakers Tim and Kelly Hightower used grapes from E&E Shaw as well as their estate Out of Line Vineyard to craft this delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. It reveals aromas of boysenberry, spice, oak and toasted almond, followed by flavors of cherry, blueberry, blackberry and dark chocolate. Gripping tannins back up all the opulent fruit, making this the perfect foil for prime rib or roast duck drizzled with a red wine reduction sauce.

The Lay of the Land

Michael's review
Feb 15, 2009
Read in January, 2006
A hard book to explain or even recommend in some ways, I actively disliked it for the first 50 pages, but once I settled into the rhythms of it, I came around to the idea that this is the most stylistically over the top naturalistic book I've ever read. Ford details every thought and action of Frank Bascombe for three days and it's often very funny, very acerbic and always stunningly written. The music might sometimes seem convoluted or even grating, but once you settle into it, you realize how beautiful that music is. I don't think it's a perfect book but I do think it's a great one.

I have always found it hard to begin reading Richard Ford, but once I do, I stay with it. His rhthyms are unsettled, and slightly dark -but you're right very funny.

No evidence national policy followed in Vaitarna forest licence issue, experts say
– cite implications for EU trade, Norway deal
Government agencies have performed poorly in relation to the concession licences acquired by the logging company Vaitarna Holdings Private Inc (VHPI) and substantial improvement will be needed in the process towards reaching a timber trade agreement with the European Union (EU), two forestry experts say.
Guyana has applied to the EU to join its Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) programme and has begun work on a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA). A VPA is a legally binding trade agreement between the EU and a timber-producing country outside the EU and its purpose is to ensure that timber and timber products exported to the EU come from legal sources. The agreements also help timber-exporting countries stop illegal logging by improving regulation and governance of the forest sector.
Participation in this process is one of the requirements in the Joint Concept Note under the Norway-Guyana forests partnership for which Guyana will receive up to US$250 million in performance based payments to protect its forests.
Writing in a five-part series in Stabroek News, forestry experts Janette Bulkan and John Palmer have noted that the consultancy Efeca pointed out in May 2011 that the draft of Guyana's Legality Assurance System (GLAS) did not match requirements of EU-FLEGT. They pointed out that Efeca offered an alternative scheme but there is no evidence that the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) has addressed the points raised by Efeca in a public document. "A GLAS acceptable to the EU will be necessary before certificates of verified legality can be issued for forest products to be exported to and admitted under the EU Timber Regulation," they said.
The duo said the GFC has had a good opportunity to demonstrate its claimed best practice in respect of the concessions issued in 2010 to the newly created local subsidiary of the Indian coffee retailer Café Coffee Day. This subsidiary was first called Dark Forest Company (S) Pte Ltd but is now called VHPI. The company has two concessions.
The duo, using the legality definition checklist, and applying it to VHPI's two concessions, has identified several non-compliances including due process used to allocate concessions not being followed.
"The GFC has not demonstrated that it followed national policies and its own procedures in issuing the concessions," Bulkan wrote while referring to a more detailed examination in a prior series of columns. In addition, it was pointed out that the original two areas bordering the Rewa River were advertised only in Guyana in December 2005, contrary to the policy intention of international advertisement for such large areas allocated under State Forest Exploratory Permit (SFEPs).
The Forests Act does not require re-advertising when a SFEP is transferred to a new holder with the written consent of the GFC and in this case, SFEP 03/2007 covering 392,000 hectares of forest was suspended by the GFC in 2009 for continued non-payment of area fees and inaction over the preparatory works required by the terms of the licence. "The SFEP had been transferred to VHPI sometime in 2010, and VHPI paid a premium of US$245,000 which was the outstanding sum due to the GFC from the original holder Simon & Shock International Logging Inc. However, it is not obvious that the GFC applied the requirement of the National Forest Policy 1997 that 'Concessions shall be transferrable to new concessionaires provided that qualifying standards are satisfied,'" the duo noted.
"No such standards have ever been published. The rewording in the 2011 revision of the National Forest Policy refers instead to the Forests Act 2009 which is currently not valid," they said while adding that SFEP 03/2007 should have expired in 2013 or been converted to a Timber Sales Agreement (TSA), but the GFC Forest Resources Allocation map of April 2013 still shows the two areas as under SFEP.
Bulkan noted that the case of the former Caribbean Resources Ltd (CRL) concession TSA 04/1989, now 01/2010 which covers 345,000 hectares is a lot more complicated and was described in her previous series. "The GFC has claimed that it did advertise locally in 2010 the rescinded CRL concession. The GFC was unable to produce a copy of the advertisement in 2012. It did not advertise internationally for open, competitive bidding. The non-competitive bid by Café Coffee Day of India did not involve a transfer of ownership as CRL's holding had been rescinded," she noted.
"Therefore this huge area should have been treated as a new concession, not a transfer, and should have been advertised as a SFEP. Moreover, as with the Rewa River areas, Café Coffee Day/VHPI had no prior experience of sustainable management of tropical forest and should have been disqualified in accordance with GFC procedures," Bulkan wrote while noting that a "wholly improper" bypass was developed by the GFC to circumvent these requirements.
She said the GFC apparently did not conduct due diligence checks on VHPI. "The GFC and Go-Invest spent many months during 2006-2008 on such checks for the predecessor Simon & Shock, much to the annoyance of the then proprietors who complained publicly about the poor service from these government agencies," the forestry expert said. She recalled a news bulletin from the Ministry of Agriculture on 20 April 2011, which, as it relates to VHPI, the ministry claimed that "a comprehensive due diligence was done . . . the company has sufficient financial resources, and has a track record of carrying out harvesting and processing operation efficiently."
Despite this, she said, it is not clear that the GFC applied similar checks to VHPI, even though it obviously lacked requisite experience. "Furthermore, VHPI has claimed that it will develop added-value on-shore processing of timber in Guyana and also, in contradiction, that it will export logs for processing at the Café Coffee Day furniture factory. In practice, as Stabroek News has reported, VHPI is simply exporting unprocessed logs, contrary to the assurances given by the Ministry of Agriculture in April 2011," she said.
Last month, more than three years after commencing operations here, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud said that VHPI was in an advanced stage of setting up its promised wood processing facility at Wineperu.
Bulkan and Palmer further asserted that although the GFC failed to advertise internationally, there should still have been international due diligence checking on the financial state and resources of Café Coffee Day in India. "That is what the high application fee for SFEPs is intended to fund. It is not clear that either GFC or Go-Invest had the skills for this work," they wrote.
Further, the GFC failed to advertise properly in accordance with national policy, and therefore there was no competition for the logging areas and thus no basis for auction. Publication in the public domain of concession licences and FDI arrangement was not done by the GFC or Go-Invest, the duo pointed out.
Any checks by the Auditor General were also not reported in the GFC annual report for 2012. "In summary, the government agencies have performed poorly in relation to the concession licences acquired by VHPI. Substantial improvement will be needed in the process towards reaching a FLEGT Voluntary Partnership Agreement with the European Union," they wrote.
VHPI is a subsidiary of the India-based Coffee Day Group. Coffee Day, through its Dark Forest subsidiary, in 2010 acquired the State Forest Exploratory Permit (SFEP) for 391,853 hectares of forest originally awarded in 2007 to US-based Simon and Shock International Logging Inc (SSILI), after buying out SSILI.
After the acquisition, the company registered in Guyana as SSILI. Subsequently, Dark Forest acquired the 345,961 hectares concession which was originally assigned to Caribbean Resources Limited (CRL). The government accepted an offer of $600 million for the TSA. The company was registered as VHPI and has been harvesting and exporting logs from this concession.
The total area held by Coffee Day is 737,814 hectares of forest, making it the second largest forestry concession holder in Guyana.

No. 11 Florida Atlantic University exploded for 13 runs in the second and fourth innings and FAU starter Randy Beam shut out Florida International through six innings as FAU went on to defeat the Golden Panthers 13-1 Friday night at FAU Stadium. FAU has outscored FIU 53-13 in the last four meetings.
FIU (6-11) starter Andrew Edwards (2-1) worked through the first inning without much trouble as leadoff hitter Derek Hutton was the only Florida Atlantic player to reach base with a hit. Edwards ran into a barrage of FAU offense as seven consecutive batters reached base and the home team posted five runs in the home half of the second.
Florida Atlantic (14-1) would bat around again in the fourth as the first five batters reached base before relief pitcher Luis Gazitua recorded the first out on an RBI groundout by left fielder Anthony Albano. Albano was one of four FAU hitters to finish the night with multiple RBI.
Suffering his only loss of the 2003 season to the Golden Panthers, Randy Beam (3-0) got revenge against FIU as he worked six innings and did not allow a run as he struck out two and allowed four hits. Andrew Tomlin entered in the seventh and gave up the only run of the game after a leadoff double by Yahmed Yema was followed by Jimmy Bacon and Luis Rivera singles to plate the only run of the game for the visiting team. Jason Costello closed out the ninth inning for FAU in his third appearance of the season.
"It was suprising this game ended up how it did," said head coach Kevin Cooney. But the pitching performance by Beam didn't surprise the 17 year FAU coach. "It was a typical Randy Beam performance. He came out and threw strikes and worked fast. Beam won't take himself out of a game."
Derek Hutton (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) finished the night three-for-four with three RBI. Jeff Fiorentino came out of his slump with his first two-hit game since February with two hits in four at bats and added three RBI to his season total
The two teams will meet for the 58th time on Saturday at 7 pm at University Park. Matt O'Brien (4-0) is expected to take the mound for FAU.

Our Idea Of Paradise: Check In To The Missoni Suite
We ourselves have wished for Missoni-print lined walls, couches, and rugs adorning our humble abodes — even if our budgets don't have the kind of scratch it would take to make those dreams reality. Well, thanks to a new partnership between the Italian brand and a French resort, that fantasy can become real — if only between check in and checkout. In the French Riveria's Bay of Pampelonne, the Villa Marie Hotel is now taking reservations for their "Missioni Suite" — an exclusive space furnished and decorated by the design house. From its black-lacquered bed rests, to the printed upholstery, to the colorful rugs, everything bears the style and familiar motifs of Missoni. Add to that the fact that the Villa Marie is itself a European paradise — oh, and not far from Saint-Tropez — and you suddenly have one of the most glamourous vacation options on the planet. The room starts at 530€ ($706) a night which is, granted, a bit more moolah than it cost to buy in to Missoni's recent Target line. But at least with a real reservation, you won't have to worry about them being all out of rooms when you show up.

Breaking down barriers to Linux desktop adoption
People reject Linux desktops for illogical reasons, says IT consultant and developer Jono Bacon. For example, they fault Linux OpenOffice desktops for not having all the features in Microsoft Windows Office, even though few actually use all of the Microsoft stuff. So, in essence, they're saying they want desktops cluttered with unnecessary features.
Bacon discusses the impact of such irrational views regarding Linux desktop adoption in this interview. He also opines on what developers should be doing to reverse-engineer people's fuzzy thinking and make it easier to adopt Linux and open source. Bacon co-authored Linux Desktop Hacks (O'Reilly Media) and is an applications development specialist at OpenAdvantage, an open source software consulting organization that provides free services in the West Midlands region of the U.K.
Do you think Linux can compete with Microsoft on the desktop?
Bacon: Sure. The one thing that people tend to get wrapped up in [is:] 'Everything should work.' If you take Windows and, for argument's sake, deduce that it performs five hundred functions, the typical business or home user may only use a hundred or fifty of those functions. The Linux desktop can probably achieve nearly all of those functions, but many people disregard its suitability irrespective of the fact that they may not need many of the features. Good IT is about applying a solution to a need.
I deal with companies every day that are moving over to Linux, and it does all the things that they want.
I think the sensible person would sit down and identify whether it does what they need it to do now and identify what they're going to need in the next couple of years. Most people have fairly typical requirements that the open source desktop can achieve. There's no doubt about that.
I think we can match what most people need but there are sometimes niche situations where it just isn't going to cut it. We need to identify what regular people need as well instead of just targeting huge organizations. We need to be competitive but reasoned too.
What do you think prevents people from switching?

Peppermint 7 Released
Peppermint 7 launched a few days ago. Peppermint is a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Although the name is similar to Linux Mint, the projects aren't directly related. Peppermint originally was envisioned as a "spicier" alternative to Mint—whatever that means! Many distros come with a wide assortment of feature-rich applications, and that's great for power users who need those apps. But older machines can struggle to cope with those demanding distros. Peppermint solves the problem by offering a carefully curated suite of web apps that perform tasks traditionally handled by native apps. It's an approach that will be familiar to any Chromebook users reading this article.

Moby Writes About Veg Revelation in Rolling Stone
The multi-platinum artist says it was a house full of animals that got him started on the cruelty-free path.
Moby recently penned a piece for Rolling Stone about how he came to be vegan. The electronic musician writes that as a child he developed close bonds with numerous dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles that were part of his household. During his adolescent years, Moby had an epiphany that all animals have feelings and emotions like his beloved cat Tucker, and realized that he was harming them by eating them, so he cut pork and chicken from his diet and followed with fish, and then dairy. Later he discovered the innumerable health and ecological benefits of following a plant-based diet. Moby notes that although he is passionate about veganism, he learned that forcing his opinions onto others was detrimental to the cruelty-free cause and his social life, but he urges readers and fans to inform themselves of the dietary implications of eating animals.

text: I've something else to add which I'd forgotten to do. Though there is skepticism on the 'right' and 'left' they aren't really about the same things. Distrust of nuclear power has precedent in Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima, and in general the left side of skepticism boils down to "Whoa! Are you sure this is safe?" and the distrust isn't directed squarely at science, but more on the policy makers who want to implement that science. The left knows that science works, but tends to think people aren't being careful enough and want more assurances. Not to say that some don't take it too far. It's not really so comparable to a right-wing distrust of science which is a more fundamental distrust of basic theories (like evolution) AND the implementation (such as contraception).

National business
Bank of New Zealand boss Andrew Thorburn's pay packet grew by two thirds this year to A$3.1 million (NZ$3.9m).
In the previous year, Thorburn's total salary package including performance benefits and share options was A$1.9m. Thorburn has helmed the BNZ since 2008, and has held banking roles across Australia and New Zealand throughout his career.
At the end of last month the Australian-owned bank reported a near record $741m profit in the year to September.
He defended the level of profit that the big banks have been making in a speech last week delivered to the Trans-Tasman Business Circle.
"Some of the recent news media and political commentary on bank profits have been misleading, lacking perspective and straight-out wrong in places," he said.
He highlighted BNZ's economic contribution to the country and pointed out that banking would be more expensive without the strong AA credit rating.
"If you are a bank customer, and just about all adult New Zealanders are, you have never had more choice, or more of a clamour for your dollar."
Thorburn also reflected on how New Zealand as a country could improve its finances. He identified worries such as high unemployment, the "persistently stubborn" current account deficit and housing affordability.
"If we could be better with money as a nation, I think we could face up to and overcome a lot of these issues."
Thorburn criticised the tax structures that have fed the appetite for investment in housing, rather than the productive sector.
Those included a lack of capital gains tax, the support of negative gearing and no stamp duty on property purchases.
Almost half of BNZ's lending book is supported by that very same demand for residential housing.
"If New Zealand and New Zealanders are to be good with money I do think we need to take a different path and face up to these fundamental anomalies at the heart of our current taxation system," said Thorburn. "Let's keep debating this, please."

Everything you type or think is dumb! Keep typing, you are entertaining as hell! Man you sure do whine ALOT! It just sounds to me like you are jealous of them!! Could you not pass the tests or classes to do what they do? Or is it that you are to selfish to ever do anything to help someone but yourself?The current policy of paying FF for sick days not used encourages FF to come to work sick. Working sick personnel are a potential hazard to the community, fellow FF and to say nothing to the fact that they are likely more accident prone. Potentially poor decisions by sick personnel when dealing with life and death matters should not be tolerated. Time to re evaluate the current policy, including eliminatation for sick days not used and revise the sick day structure to mirror the private sector e.g. so many days per year of combined sick and vacation time on a use it or lose it basis.
Both would be my guess!!

Debunking the "Vigneault doesn't play the kids" mythPosted by: | Comments
When Alain Vigneault had some choice comments for J.T. Miller following his demotion back to the AHL, after being given a golden opportunity to take a critical role for the Rangers, many fans called for AV's head. The arguments thrown out had nothing to do with his successes as the coach this year, but that he has "never liked kids and refuses to play the kids." It's a silly argument actually.
Let's use AV's recent history –his stint with the Canucks– as the barometer for playing the kids. He started there as the head coach in 2006-2007. Since the 2004-2005 season never happened, I think it's fair to start with the 2003 draft as our cutoff for our little experiment, seeing how many kids were drafted by and played for the Canucks under AV. Technically, I can use the 2001 draft since Kevin Bieksa (5th round of 2001 draft) didn't play his first full season until 2006-2007. But, let's use 2003 as the cutoff.
Rangers mid-season grades: CoachingPosted by: | Comments
Quick note: Last night's goal breakdown will be posted this afternoon.
Back by popular demand, we've decided to resurrect our hotly contested player, coaching, and management report cards. For those of you new to the blog, the staff and I hand out 'performance grades' around the mid-way point of the regular season and just after the commencement of the playoffs. As always, these grades aren't just based on stats, but also the execution of each personnel or player's respective role within the organization.
Before I get started with AV's grade, I just wanted to reiterate that we try to be thorough with these posts. Although most of us have played hockey at some level, we know we're not experts. If we were, we'd be working in hockey ops. With that said, we feel we know the game better than others who cover it, so we hope you enjoy this series.
So that's my preamble, let's move along.
Coaching, not controversyPosted by: | Comments
If any conclusions can be drawn from the apparent goaltending 'drama' that has been going on in New York it is that Alain Vigneault is still getting to know his team and he's still learning which buttons to press with which players. Henrik Lundqvist is usually harder on himself than anyone else could be; such is his will to win. He won't have been happy backing up Cam Talbot for Monday's depressing defeat against the Jets but if the result is a hot streak from Lundqvist who are we to second guess the decision?
While some prefer to focus on a controversy, Cam Talbot is someone that has clearly grown with every start and you can see his confidence grow with every save – despite the defeat last night. It appears that Vigneault may be flirting with a goalie controversy but is it just a coach still familiarising himself with the assets at his disposal? Could it even be a message to the rest of the team rather than the star goaltender?
For those paying attention, Vigneault has prodded countless players over the past few weeks and months and given the middling results so far this season that is exactly what he should be doing. The Michael Del Zotto situation has been one where the coach has been unafraid to publicly challenge a player to be better. Vigneault has publicly expressed his opinion on Benoit Pouliot while players such as Mats Zuccarello, Carl Hagelin and John Moore have been asked for more from the coach publicly. With the inconsistent and at times disappointing performances from numerous players on the roster this season it stands to reason that the coach will look to coach and prod his players for better performances.
Evaluating Alain Vigneault seven games inPosted by: | Comments
Before the already numerous Alain Vigneault haters get their tail feathers ruffled, remember that we are only SEVEN games into the season, so none of this means a whole lot yet. However, Vigneault was brought in to implement widespread changes to the team's tactics and approach to the game, so we are understandably keeping a close eye on the new bench boss in the early going. So without further ado, here are several of the things we expected from Vigneault when he was hired, and how they've actually turned out in the infancy of the 2013-2014 campaign.
Less line juggling – Not so much. To be fair, Vigneault would be much better able to keep his preferred combinations together if the Rangers hadn't been ravaged by the injury bug, but so far Vigneault has shifted his players around as much as John Tortorella ever did. Taylor Pyatt on the first line? Come on. Read More→
Rosen: Leetch almost returned to RangersPosted by: | Comments
Dan Rosen at NHL.com had an interesting nugget of information this morning, noting that "Brian Leetch was prepared to move back to New York to join Mark Messier on the New York Rangers' coaching staff" should Messier win the head coaching job in New York. Leetch would have been one of Messier's assistants, likely –my assumption– working with the defensemen and the powerplay.
Instead, Alain Vigneault was named head coach, and Leetch wound up working in Brendan Shanahan's Department of Player Safety office.
Expect AV to bring in his type of playersPosted by: | Comments
This past offseason Glen Sather kept this roster pretty much intact in hopes that Alain Vineault and his new coaching staff would be the difference makers to get this team over the hump. With that said, any time a team changes coaches there's always going to be some roster turnover that follows.
At this point we don't know what system AV has in store for the Rangers, though Nash vaguely remarked "defense first" which obviously can mean a lot of different things and Girardi mentioned "four man rushes, same as Torts". However, we do know that AV has a starkly different personality than Torts and will certainly bring a different approach to dealing with his players one-on-one. More often than not, it's personalities and TOI that generally cause players and coaches to gel or jive, not the x's and o's. After all, most players at this level can adapt to different systems and formations.
So turnover is inevitable. And to think that every current Ranger is going to fit is a bit naive.
Ulf Samuelsson's potential impact on the defensePosted by: | Comments
New assistant coach Ulf Samuelsson will likely be in charge of the defense, much the way Mike Sullivan was in charge of the defense last season. A noted tough guy/fighter during his playing days, Samuelsson was also incredibly sound defensively and a reliable top-four defenseman for the Whalers, Penguins, and Rangers. Samuelsson spent five years as an assistant with Phoenix, where he had a profound impact on the young defensemen.
Among those that Samuelsson tutored in Phoenix (that are still there): Keith Yandle, Zbynek Michalek, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and David Schlemko. Yandle has already solidified himself as a top pairing defenseman, and OEL might turn into one of the best defensemen in the league (at worst, he's a top-four guy). Other guys to pass through Phoenix during Samuelsson's tenure: Ed Jovanovski, Keith Ballard, and Derek Morris. That's some track record for a five year assistant coach.
Brooks: Rangers to name Daniel Lacroix assistant coachPosted by: | Comments
Per Larry Brooks, the Rangers are going to name Daniel Lacroix as the third and final assistant coach under Alain Vigneault. The former Ranger was an assistant with Tampa Bay for the past three seasons. He will join Scott Arniel and Ulf Samuelsson behind the bench with AV. Benoit Allaire will be the goalie coach.
Scott Arniel joins Rangers as assistant coachPosted by: | Comments
Looks like the Rangers have found their third assistant coach, as Katie Strang is reporting that Scott Arniel is going to be joining Ulf Samuelsson and Benoit Allaire behind the bench with Alain Vigneault. Arniel worked with AV in the Canucks organization, when he was the head coach of the Manitoba Moose. Arniel most recently coached the Columbus Blue Jackets, but was let go during the 2011-2012 season.
Ulf Samuelsson joins the bench as assistant coachPosted by: | Comments
This news broke yesterday, courtesy of Alex Nunn and his translation abilities (via this Swedish website), but we wanted to keep the focus on the draft. Former Ranger defenseman Ulf Samuelsson will be re-joining the Rangers as an assistant coach, working with the defense and penalty kill. Ulfie has spent the past two seasons coaching Modo in the SHL (renamed from the SEL).
