President Barack Obama showed on Tuesday night what it means to be an activist president on a diet.
In the State of the Union address that essentially presented his program for a second term, Mr. Obama spoke expansively of what government—his government—could do to improve life in America: build and repair the nation's infrastructure, spur alternative-energy sources, expand early education, raise pay for workers.

But behind that rhetoric lies a starker reality: The president actually has very little money to spend, so he proposed only limited new funding for these programs his party's liberal base loves. Spending caps, tax cuts, Republicans in Congress and the giant squeeze of entitlement programs that are sucking funds away from all else—all are tying his hands.
So, to underwrite his programs, he proposed in some cases recycling existing money or asking Congress again for funds previously denied. In other cases, he said he would seek his goals not with dollars but with regulations and tax incentives to prod the private sector to do Washington's bidding.

What They Said
The modern tradition of delivering an oral State of the Union message to Congress began in 1934. Compare how often presidents used selected words in their addresses.
What They Said
Indeed, one of his most ambitious initiatives to help workers was to propose an increase in the minimum wage to $9 an hour—an initiative paid for, obviously, not by government at all, but by businesses.
This is government activism in the age of yawning deficits. Mr. Obama acknowledged as much, though only obliquely. "It's not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth," he said.
Others might simply call the effort liberal government on the cheap.
All this represents a considerable change, one not often recognized amid the seemingly constant warfare between Democrats and Republicans over the size and shape of government and the tax code.
In the 1990s, President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, proposed a lot of bite-sized government initiatives, but he did so not because his hands were tied by fiscal restraints—after all, the federal government was heading into a period of budget surplus rather than deficits in those days—but more because he thought small government was more in keeping with the public mood.
Interactive: Full Text and Analysis of the Speech
Read WSJ reporters' comments on President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
And the previous president, President George W. Bush, a Republican, felt he had the fiscal latitude to propose an expensive new entitlement program, a prescription drug benefit for senior citizens on Medicare.
Compare that to the wiring behind some of President Obama's sweeping rhetoric Tuesday night. He called for $50 billion in spending on infrastructure projects—rebuilding bridges and building rail lines, for example—but would pay for that by seeking anew funds previously requested and never approved by Congress.
And to supplement whatever the government might spend on infrastructure, he suggested public-private partnerships for projects important to businesses such as power grids and pipelines, a plan that by definition leans on private funding rather than taxpayer dollars.
Similarly, he called for creating "manufacturing innovation institutes" to develop new manufacturing technologies and train workers. But the administration's plan is to scrape together money from elsewhere in its existing budget to create three such institutes, because Congress has declined to fund an earlier request for $1 billion to set up 15.
To realize his dream of government policies to expand use of solar and wind-power technologies, he proposed a tax credit to give private companies an incentive to invest in them. And to expand preschool programs, he said he would work with states to achieve the goal—and to share the costs.
Of course, Mr. Obama proposed spending some money. He wants to use revenue from oil and gas lease sales to pay for research into alternative fuels, and said he'd seek $15 billion for a program to repair or rebuild abandoned or foreclosed homes.
It may simply be that the Democratic president knows the Republican-controlled House of Representatives wouldn't agree to cough up funds for many of his priorities, so, under duress, he's finding other ways to get where he wants to go.
The broader backdrop, though, is that, slowly and painfully, Washington is coming to grips with the new fiscal normal. The deficit remains an enormous problem, of course, but in large measure because Washington can't get its arms around the health-care costs and benefit programs that are eating up money.
The budget wars and resulting messy agreements on spending they have produced are having at least some effect. Mr. Obama's speech was evidence of that.

text: A McLean County inmate was shortly on the run Tuesday afternoon before being recaptured. At about 2:30pm, KSP responded to Keller Road, south of Owensboro, where a McLean County deputy jailer was transporting inmates from McLean County District Court to the Daviess County Detention Center. One inmate, 38 year old Danny R Benningfield of Owensboro, told the deputy jailer he was feeling ill and needing to vomit. As the deputy jailer opened the door, Benningfield ran into an open field. Multiple agencies began a search, ultimately leading to find Benningfield hiding in an empty hot tub behind a residence on Fisher Road, He faces additional criminal charges as law enforcement continues their investigation.

What is the process gvfsd-dav.
The best I could find on my system monitor was that it is somehow associated to nautilus. I closed all the nautilus instances and still there are 2 instances of gvfsd-dav that are completely occupying 2 out of 4 CPUs.
Take the tour
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
gvfsd is the daemon process for the GNOME Virtual File System (gvfs). gvfsd-dav handels remote filesystemes (WebDAV). Are you using something like UbuntuOne? If you mount such devices via nautilus you'll probably create these processes.. | |||||

The game gets a name: Watch Your Six. (Taken with instagram)
Enlisted Emmett's tremendous help for a mere five minutes in trying to come up on a name for this game, and he nailed it with Watch Your Six. It's got a lot going for it:
* the joy when an 11-year-old figures out his new game's name means "watch your ass"
* military slang, which should appeal to a Call-of-Duty junkie
* the object of the game is to assemble a team of experts and complete three increasingly difficult levels of missions: of eight character types, you need four to beat level 1, five to beat level 2, and six to beat level 3 and win the game. You literally need to manage six characters successfully to win the game
* Deke loves games in which you're actively involved in messing with the other guy's chance to win as much as trying to win on your own. "Watch your six" is good advice—or an 11 year-old's smack talk—on how to play the game with cutthroats.
Added color-coded team HQ's to the four corners, and six prescribed buildings to the center portion of the board. Every other dotted line box is an empty lot where players can develop additional buildings to help their characters/complete more missions.
Every other space between the buildings is a road space for player movement.
So far, so good.

Merrimack River salmon program's run is done
An Atlantic Salmon at the Amoskeag Fishways learning and visitors nature center in Manchester is one of a number of native spiecies on view for visitors to get a close look at. The migratory fish was once abundant until dams along rivers such as the Merrimack blocked access to upriver streams for spawning. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Only 22 salmon were counted at a key spot in the Merrimack River this summer — the Essex Fish Dam in Lawrence, Mass. — compared to 400 two years earlier. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ended a similar program on the Connecticut River last summer.
"It's the fish that attracts public attention. It's at the top of the food chain. "It's sort of like the (bald) eagle in the fish world," Embley said.
"While the science is driving our decision, our declining budgets hastened it. We need to prioritize," said Wendi Weber, the Service's Northeast regional director, in prepared remarks.
He said recent stockings amounted to about 500,000 fry in the Pemigewasset and Souhegan rivers, small in comparison to the 2.5 million fry in the early 2000s.
Public Service of New Hampshire spokesman Martin Murray said the utility installed the $4 million ladder in 1989 at the urging of federal and state officials. While salmon benefited, the ladder was installed primarily for American shad and river herrings, Murray said.
Embley said the announcement upends a promise by a policy committee of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and federal officials to keep the Atlantic salmon program going until 2015.

-- thirteen days on the -- Ed Rollins Fox's contributor national director president Reagan's reelection team of 84.
Veteran of many presidential -- how you doing -- -- morning good morning -- are you I'm doing -- wanna have a little fun with this right now -- -- what we're gonna go to the -- show -- the map here.
And just to remind our viewers he's an eleven battleground states in gray there too close to call.
-- what.
Is the state of the race today.
I think the president's team is on the defense and I think the Obama -- the -- Romney -- on the offense.
And that's a very difficult place for an incumbent president to be.
I think where we're gaining in places like Florida.
Virginia and North Carolina which -- key states force.
Ohio as the ultimate battle -- ever ask you now as a dead even.
You know my sense is that -- it's it's building and building and building for Romney.
And I think he can have a victory and then they -- may even expand beyond the 271.
Rooms okay that may involve may be Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Michigan if the rumors are true that listen I -- to go to the results in 2000 and OK because.
This is what President Obama is doing over the next two days now.
He will make stops in the following states all states by the way that he won four years ago he'll be an Iowa.
He'll be in Colorado.
Nevada and then Los Angeles in California for a four Jay Leno that he takes an overnight plane and Air Force One down the Florida.
Then Virginia that he goes to Illinois to vote and then Ohio to end the day.
Eight states two days.
I took it.
What what does that mean -- that he can win two of me to -- Illinois and when California everything else he's battling for and I and I think at the end of the -- it is that positive -- or it is that desperation -- -- how would you analyze analyze it is desperation I think at this point in time this is a president who.
Had hoped to end on a positive note is now still trying to portray.
Romney is someone that he's not he has very little to talk about his own record.
He's that it was this stance -- piece out of camp but that he sending out saying here's my -- -- more of the same.
He's -- at the three and a half -- and targeted voters.
And it's just like him direct mail piece is nothing new.
It's is it OK don't come back to the what if because -- what Mitt Romney is doing at least today anyway on the what if column here go back to where eleven states up for grabs.
He'll be an Iowa six electoral votes will be -- about a six electoral votes you like to win both but you probably have to win at least one right now.
Face some appalling when -- you say I'm an analyst -- -- your scenario that Romney's gonna blown out.
Well I think I think both those states are in play obviously you can still win it without it.
He wins Florida.
North Carolina Virginia Ohio he's got a -- when something else could be New Hampshire.
Could be one of those states my sense is they're all in play they're all very close to being even if not -- around in the slight edge so why not just keep Busch and -- And no other is a Washington Post -- came out yesterday and showed voter enthusiasm the Republican side.
-- 45 points higher now than it was four years ago so we're gonna see how that plays out.
Here's a what if scenario for -- had okay because there were rumors that Pennsylvania that Romney could put that in play that hasn't voted that state hasn't voted for Republican since 1988.
But here's your 270 that you need at right President Obama is a 201 Mitt Romney right now 191 -- our map.
If President Obama wins Pennsylvania UCL these numbers add up if he wins Ohio you see the numbers he picks up right now is at 239.
So then for governor Romney let's say he runs the south here -- Florida 29 and Virginia fifteen and then -- Virginia thirteen and North Carolina fifteen -- get out.
It is it to 48.
So you have 123456.
States in play.
-- -- let let's say Nevada to be the economy's poor out there the foreclosure rate side maybe Mitt Romney takes -- that.
And maybe also takes Colorado still doesn't get a marries it to 63 -- He is why you see the importance of Ohio don't have Ohio is ground zero -- -- need you need to hide it becomes very difficult for anybody and the president included.
To put it together without Ohio -- Kyle has basically been the -- what his state.
Whoever wins Ohio -- the last several decades has won the presidency.

Winning the 152-pound title at last week's CIF Northern Division finals enabled Amir Hassan to accomplish a goal he's had since he got to Westlake High four years ago.
Another goal on the senior's to-do list is to place at the State Championships.
To reach state Hassan knows he must perform well at the Masters Meet, which starts Friday at Temecula Valley High.
"Amir has a great attitude coming off his win," Westlake head coach John Cuccia said. "He is focused and knows that the Master is the great divide between the CIF and the State."
Hassan is one of 19 wrestlers from Ventura County who earned a trip to the Masters by finishing in the top 5 of their weight class in the CIF Divisional round.
Hassan's teammate, Glenn Castro (182), also qualified for the Masters, finishing third at the CIF Divisional.
"Glenn is just a hard worker; he trains all the time," Cuccia said. "We have a saying up in the room, 'Champions train when know one is looking.' That is exactly what Glenn does. He's the humblest kid I have ever coached.
"The best part of this is they (Hassan and Castro) have both helped each other get to this level of competition. They're both four-year wrestlers and pretty good buddies as well as drill partners."
Buena, the top-ranked team in the county all season, is sending five wrestlers to the Masters, the most of any area program.
"Nick Simpson (108), Johnathan Morales (115), Fabian Aguilera (122), Steven Mendez (134) and Joseph Mendez (140) have wrestled and pushed each other in the room all year whether it was with conditioning, drilling or live wrestling," Buena head coach Eddie Martinez said.
"All five are healthy and are mentally ready."
Royal High had four wrestlers qualify: Ryan Blomquist (132), Tim Castillo (152), Taylor Amic (160) and Deric Ginther (182).
"I'm incredible proud of the way they wrestled to qualify for Masters," head coach Richard Carrillo said. "They looked tough, skilled and healthy. Going forward, I think the most important thing is believing that they can compete with the best. They earned a spot in the Masters bracket and they can beat anyone on any given day.
For the first time in Gary Murphy's tenure as head coach, Newbury Park qualified three wrestlers: Max Quiroz (138), Devin Duarte (160) and Tyler MacDonald (195).
Quiroz and Duarte were reached the Masters last year as juniors, but MacDonald qualified for the first time in his final chance.
"The Masters Tournament is a meat grinder," Murphy said. "Every match is tough. You have to be prepared for battle every time you step on the mat."
Thousand Oaks head coach Kerry Lyne said senior Josh Cortez (145) and sophomore Rogan Wells (170) both have the talent needed to get to the state.
"Josh has been wrestling nonstop since narrowly missing a trip to Masters last year," Lyne said. "He has all the skills to place at state. He missed month with an injury but is fully recovered.
"Rogan Wells wants to do more than pat himself on the back for qualifying at such a young age. He is fanatical about training and is outstanding on his feet. He needs to work if he is going to make it through to state."
Moorpark junior Matt Thompson reached the state tournament last year and the two-time CIF finalist was one win from placing (a top-5 finish) a year ago.
Moorpark head coach Travis Lavalle said Thompson is determined to make it back to state.
"I know Matt, just qualifying won't be enough for him," Lavalle said. "He studies and understands this sport. He is a great worker and an even better mat general."
Thompson has been competing despite a torn ACL, but Lavalle said the heavyweight is feeling strong physically and mentally.
"He's very focused at this point in the season," Lavalle said. "As Matt says, it's a two-week season now."
The other locals competing are: Ventura High wrestlers Jack Sartee (152) and Sam Champagne (170); Channel Islands' High's Javier Vasquez (182); and Fillmore's George Orozco (195).

Chef's salad
Henrico man earns honor in homeland
Last month, as local veterans polished medals, buffed boots and starched uniforms in preparation for Memorial Day services, Paul Elbling left his Henrico home for a May 8 decoration ceremony. Like recent holiday occasions in Sandston and at Fort Harrison National Cemetery, Elbling's event was long on red, white and blue and "The Star Spangled Banner" – even if lacking in small-town marching bands and Sousa music. But then, Elbling had hopped a trans-Atlantic flight to attend the ceremony – which took place in Blotzheim, France. To Richmonders who know him as "Chef Paul," the owner and culinary artiste of La Petite France, it might come as a surprise to learn of Elbling's 18 months as a paratrooper and nurse in the French Algerian War. But as a 19-year-old in the French Army, Elbling rode ambulances around combat zones collecting the wounded, and made more than 100 jumps getting to the sites. On his last jump in 1962, attempting to evacuate more injured, he was shot in the leg while still aloft. "Which is against the Geneva Convention," he says grimly, adding that he barely noticed the shock of his own wound. "I was more concerned about my friend," he recalls, going on to describe the sight of a fellow paratrooper who had taken a much more serious hit. His friend did not survive. After three weeks in the hospital, and additional time in therapy at a convalescent center, Elbling eventually returned to his culinary calling. First medals were for cooking Even though he was winning honors for his cooking by age 18 (a Gold Medal in culinary competition in Strasbourg), becoming a chef was actually Elbling's second-choice career. At age 12, he entered the seminary and studied for the priesthood two years before changing course and getting into the restaurant business. He jokes today that his decision was best for all concerned. "When I went in the seminary," Elbling says with a laugh, "my older brother slapped my shoulder and said, 'Paul, if you become a priest one day, I will be the pope!' And I was afraid that my brother might be the pope!" Beginning with an apprenticeship at a local restaurant as a young teen, Elbling embarked on a career that took him to, among others, the famous Carlton Hotel in Cannes, France, and the Georges V Hotel in Paris. As an apprentice, he worked 90-hour weeks with a dozen peers to help 57 cooks. "[At one restaurant] we had a huge stove, the length of the dining room," he recalls, noting that the massive fixture connected to the water pipes supplying the hotel above. "We had to be down there every day at 5:30 a.m. to clean the stove – so the hotel residents would have hot water." Two years after becoming a chef in the resort city of Baden-Baden, Germany, Elbling earned his European Master Chef Degree. That same year, driving near his home in the Alsace region of France, he met his wife-to-be, Marie Antoinette. "On the road, she passed me going very fast. She made a fishtail!" he says, tracing the car's near spin-out with a gesture. Indignant, Elbling caught up with Marie at the next stoplight. "I got out of my car and gave her hell," he says. Marie began crying. "It's my birthday," she told the stranger. "I'm going to my birthday party and I'm in a hurry. . . Would you like to come?" After the couple married, they came to America in 1967, fulfilling a dream Elbling had had since he was five years old. He had never forgotten the Americans who liberated his family from a German labor farm in 1945. "They gave us Hershey bars and Spam," he says, describing the menu as if it were a sumptuous gourmet repast. "[Spam] was the first meat I'd ever had. "Now when I go hunting or fishing, I always take a can of Spam," he adds. "It brings a good memory." When the Elbling family returned home from the labor farm, they found their house bombed. Lt. Joe O'Neill of Chicago, who then drove the family to Paul's grandparents' house to live, kept in touch for years afterwards. He helped Elbling with the paperwork that allowed him to move to America, but passed away before the process was finalized. "Otherwise," says Elbling, "I'd be in Chicago today." Guinness world records After three years in Washington, D.C., where he served as chef in the Restaurant Chez Francois and the Washington Hotel, the Elblings moved to metro Richmond. Since establishing La Petite France, Paul Elbling has compiled a lengthy resume of honors, including Richmond Small Businessman of the Year (1982), Restaurateur of the Year from the Virginia Restaurant Association (1985), Academy Award of the Restaurant Industry, and the Great American Chef's Award. He has also been cited for excellence in Southern Living and Gourmet Magazine and earned several records in the Guinness Book of World Records, including one for the world's largest omelet (10,470 eggs), world's largest ice carving and longest sandwich. All the Guinness stunts were charity benefits, and he continues to be a frequent contributor of auction items (the latest a dinner for 10, prepared at the buyer's home) for non-profits such as the Maymont Foundation and Heart Fund. For another favorite charity, Little Sisters of the Poor, Elbling has helped raise more than $1 million. He also thoroughly enjoys getting monthly letters from two youngsters in Appalachia "adopted" through Children, Inc. Among his proudest accomplishments, however, was founding the Virginia Chefs Association apprenticeship program. His first apprentice remains at La Petite France with him 35 years later. "He would never leave," Elbling jokes. Another one of his most satisfying achievements was winning two gold medals for the United States in the 1980 International Culinary Olympiques. "When we got the gold medal," he recalls, "my old chef from the George V – 83 years old – was there watching, and he had tears in his eyes." Elbling was equally emotional as French officials awarded him four medals – what military types jokingly refer to as a "fruit salad" of colorful ribbons -- for his wartime medical service at the recent ceremony in Blotzheim. "What was very impressive about this was my brother, a retired general, was the one pinning on the medal," he says. "And the kids [of Blotzheim] came with American flags, and they played the [American] anthem. "I had tears in my eyes." The medals, soon to be mounted on the wall of his home off River Road, recall for Elbling the cherished memory of a conversation in 1970, when he and Marie returned to France to be at the bedside of his dying mother. "She was always very jovial," Elbling says of his mother. "First, she told my wife, 'Marie Antoinette, Paul is a good boy, but keep him on a leash!' [Marie] hasn't forgotten that!" he says with a laugh. Then his mother turned to him and said, "I am so happy for you. Your dream has come true." "We wouldn't go back [to France] for anything," Elbling concludes emphatically. "We love it here." |

Wacky Mac

"Wacky Mac" Easy RVers Recipe
Here's a great fun and easy summer meal to make in the RV. No oven needed! I found a pasta product in the store called Wacky Mac and it looked like it would be fun and colorful. If ever there was something up my alley….hmmm. By the way, the dressing part of this mixture makes a really good salad dressing, too. Some salad dressing variations would be to try to use a different vinegar, herb, add garlic or add a splash of pepper sauce to the vinegar mixture. We are hooked on this and it is low calorie and cheap to make. Send me your most fun recipe for keeping the RV cool.
For 2 servings
4 oz dry Wacky Mac
3 oz lean cooked ham, cubed
½ cup frozen peas
1 Tbsp each; chopped onion, green pepper, red pepper, carrot and celery
About 1/3 cup Vinegar dressing
¼ cup white wine vinegar or golden balsamic
Splash of white wine (optional)
Splash of orange juice, about 1 Tbsp
Splash of water 1 or 2 Tbsp
Squeeze of lemon juice, about ½ Tbsp
3 or 4 packets of stevia to taste
1 tsp dill
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Dash of salt and pepper
Cook and drain 4 oz Wacky Mac or other pasta favorite by package directions. The last minute, throw in the peas. Drain the pasta and pea mixture well. Add the rest of the chopped ingredients and pour vinegar dressing over all. Stir and refrigerate.
We love this one! Hope you do, too. Please send me your favorite recipes for easy, light and cool RV meals. Check out the "how to" video on Wacky Mac!

"The team did play well," Coach Rob Simon said. "Niceville is a much different team and we will have to make some adjustments."
The Raiders and Bulldogs played each earlier in the season. They were bought hard fought and physical games.

Anger: Taking the heat out of the moment
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
47 comments posted
When we're young, we think we know everything and that our parents know nothing. We ignore most of their advice, including the suggestion to count to 10 when we're angry to avoid acting in haste. It's only later, when we've gotten older, that we realize just how smart our parents were. Let me explain.
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Over the weekend, a colleague and I had a misunderstanding about reviewing some scientific data. I had mistakenly missed a deadline and was quick to blame my colleague. I was frustrated and ready to fire off a stinging email. However, my phone had run out of power and I was unable to send email.
By the next day I was able to see the incident as the minor inconvenience it was, and I was so grateful that I hadn't done anything as stupid as sending an angry email.
It was a powerful reminder to me: When I'm angry or upset — especially if I'm also tired — no response is often the best response. Within 24 hours and a good night's sleep, everything seems different. What appeared to be a catastrophe the day before is revealed to be no big deal.
So there's my confession. I suspect others can relate to this misadventure.

His loose and expressive style of painting, achieved by the use of palette knives rather than brushes, gives life to the energy often found in downtown city areas. Disney works exclusively from his own photographs. Being an artist who travels the national festival circuit allows him the opportunity to travel and capture photographs for reference in his paintings. "It's sometimes a challenge to find that great angle at the perfect time of day to display a city in a more aesthetically pleasing light," says Disney, "but I've always just loved the energy and vibrance of cities." He also states that using his own photographs for reference always "gives me an excuse to travel more for research." Influenced by the art movements of Impressionism and Expressionism, Disney's work reflects many of the traits for which those styles are known. Artwork produced during the Expressionism movement presented the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas.The Expressionists' influence in Disney's art is noted by the sense of movement and energy expressed through his compositions. Characteristics of Impressionism include visible brush strokes, open compositions, and an emphasis on the reflection of light and its changing qualities on objects at various times of sunlight. Unusual angles and illustration of movement are also among the traits of Impressionism found in Disney's work. Originally from central Oklahoma, Disney has traveled extensively throughout the country and abroad to places such as England, Australia, and the Czech Republic. After completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Oklahoma State University, he began graduate work at Queensland University in Brisbane, Australia. He plans to complete his Master of Fine Arts locally. His diverse work experience includes web design, illustration, custom furniture, software design, photography, arts instruction, as well as publishing his comic "Pulp." Disney currently resides in Tulsa and continues to travel as part of the national festival circuit.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
August 23, 2012 Top 10 Prospects Calgary Flames
by Corey Pronman
Full list of NHL Organizational Rankings
Calgary Flames Top 10 Prospects
1. Sven Baertschi, Left Wing 2. Roman Cervenka, Center 3. John Gaudreau, Left Wing 4. Markus Granlund, Center 5. Mark Jankowski, Center 6. Max Reinhart, Center 7. Bill Arnold, Center 8. Brady Lamb, Defense 9. Greg Nemisz, Right Wing 10.Michael Ferland, Left Wing
Organizational Ranking: 20th
System Overview: After being a bottom-feeder system for several years, the Flames have started to assemble some quality young pieces into their organization recently and are steadily establishing a solid system. The development of Gaudreau, Granlund, Reinhart, and Ferland's has gone well, while Baertschi has emerged as a top of the line prospect. This is a forward-heavy system that really lacks quality defense prospects with T.J. Brodie graduated.
1. Sven Baertschi, Left Wing 2010-11 Ranking: 1st Date of birth: 10/05/1992 Age: 20 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 187 Shoots: Left Statistics: 47 GP, 33 G, 94 P (Portland-WHL) Acquired: First round, 13th overall in 2011 by Calgary
The Good: Arguably the most dangerous player in the WHL this year, Baertschi took his game from very good to a whole other level and elevated his stock to that of a top-end prospect. His skating improved from solid to above average, and he displayed great creativity with the puck coupled with his already high-end hockey sense and finishing skill. Baertschi is also a gritty player who gives it his all every shift and works hard in the corners. He's the total package and is ready for the NHL.
The Bad: Size is his only real weakness as he's certainly undersized and the 5'11'' listing is somewhat generous.
Projection: He could be a top line forward.
2. Roman Cervenka, Center 2010-11 Ranking: N/A Date of birth: 12/10/1985 Age: 26 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 201 Shoots: Left Statistics: 54 GP, 23 G, 39 P, 18:35 ATOI (Avangard-KHL) Acquired: Free agent
The Good: Cervenka is an above-average to plus puck-handler and passer who plays an aesthetically pleasing type of game with the possession skills he displays. His hockey sense is about at the point you would expect a 26-year-old skill player to be and he projects to potentially be a top-six forward in the NHL right away after crossing the pond from the KHL. He works at a solid level on the ice, too.
The Bad: Cervenka is a decent skater, but for a player his size, he lacks that separation gear you usually want from smaller players. He's tried to improve on his physical game, but he still projects as replacement level in that area.
Projection: He could be a good second line forward and that might happen right away.
3. John Gaudreau, Left Wing 2010-11 Ranking: Unranked Date of birth: 08/13/1993 Age: 19 Height: 5'7'' Weight: 150 Shoots: Left Statistics: 44 GP, 21 G, 44 P (Boston College-Hockey East) Acquired: Fourth round, 108th overall in 2011 by Calgary
The Good: Gaudreau had a tremendous freshman season, ending in the top 25 in NCAA scoring while playing the entire season as an 18 year old. He's a high-end if not better puck-handler who can make highlight-level dekes. Gaudreau's hockey sense is along the same lines as he has great patience and vision with the puck. His skill level makes scouts regularly go "wow" with one NHL executive saying he has a special "swagger" he carries himself with.
The Bad: Look at his height/weight splits and it says it all. He's small and needs a boatload of muscle. While Gaudreau is a fine skater who has a solid top gear and is agile, he isn't a high-end one that you would normally want a 5'7'' player to be.
Projection: He could be an above-average second line winger.
4. Markus Granlund, Center 2010-11 Ranking: Unranked Date of birth: 04/16/1993 Age: 19 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 172 Shoots: Left Statistics: 47 GP, 15 G, 34 P, 15:24 ATOI (HIFK-SM-Liiga) Acquired: Second round, 45th overall in 2011 by Calgary
The Good: Granlund may not have the elite skill of his brother Mikael, but he's got a fair amount of talent. He's an above-average puck-handler and passer who can flash high-end in those departments every now and then. He's a very smart player who regularly shows good instincts as a playmaker. Markus has one area that's superior to his brother as he's a better skater who projects as pro average in that area. He's good defensively as well.
The Bad: Size and his projected North American pro physical game will be the area that Granlund suffers in as it's hard to see him being better than below average. He needs to bulk up quite a bit.
Projection: He could be an average second line forward.
5. Mark Jankowski, Center 2010-11 Ranking: N/A Date of birth: 09/13/1994 Age: 17 Height: 6'3'' Weight: 170 Shoots: Left Statistics: 57 GP, 53 G, 93 P (Stanstead- Quebec Prep) Acquired: First round, 21st overall in 2012 by Calgary
The Good: Jankowski is a pretty skilled forward who is an above-average skater, possessing good standstill agility and a fine top gear. He's a high-end thinker with great offensive creativity with the puck on top of having great vision as a playmaker. His raw possession skills, to go along with good height and his skating ability, give him a fair amount of upside. Jankowski also has a fine on-ice work ethic.
The Bad: His frame is really undeveloped as he's kind of skin and bones. Combine that with the league he played in and where he is in his development and Jankowski is your prototypical "project" prospect who is a good four or five years away.
Projection: He could be an above-average second line center.
6. Max Reinhart, Center 2010-11 Ranking: 4th Date of birth: 02/04/1992 Age: 20 Height: 6'1'' Weight: 185 Shoots: Left Statistics: 61 GP, 28 G, 78 P (Kootenay-WHL) Acquired: Third round, 64th overall in 2010 by Calgary
The Good: Reinhart is a high-end thinker, who despite not being the most naturally gifted offensive player is able to create scoring chances due to his great hockey sense and how quickly he processes the game. His best offensive ability is as a passer and his sense translates to his defensive game as well. Reinhart has been described by one scout as a "ball of energy" in terms of his playing style and his desirable physical game. He has the potential to be a tough defensive minutes player while being decent offensively.
The Bad: Reinhart's skating isn't all that good and while it's improved it still grades as a tick below average. He needs to continue bulking up in order to make the transition to the pro game next season.
Projection: He could be a league-average pro.
7. Bill Arnold, Center 2010-11 Ranking: Unranked Date of birth: 05/13/1992 Age: 20 Height: 6'0'' Weight: 210 Shoots: Left Statistics: 42 GP, 17 G, 36 P (Boston College-Hockey East) Acquired: Fourth round, 108th overall in 2010 by Calgary
The Good: Arnold is a fine do-it-all player who lacks a real standout skill but he can help contribute to his team in several areas. He's a very hard worker with a pretty developed body for his age and he projects as a solid physical player. He's a smart player who can move the puck on top of having decent enough hands to make some plays with the puck. At times, Arnold even flashes above-average offensive skill. He moves at a decent level, too, and is a good defensive forward. He can play center and wing.
The Bad: Arnold lacks the offensive upside to really threaten defensemen and projects as more of a complementary player.
Projection: He's tracking as a very good third line forward, but I think he might have another level.
8. Brady Lamb, Defense 2010-11 Ranking: N/A Date of birth: 08/15/1988 Age: 24 Height: 6'1'' Weight: 220 Shoots: Right Statistics: 41 GP, 9 G, 31 P (Minnesota-Duluth-WCHA) Acquired: College free agent
The Good: Lamb is a very strong, physically-developed defender who likes to play a physical brand of hockey and lay into his checks. He was used as a tough-minutes defender for Duluth in his senior season, being relied to check the best players while also being leaned on as a primary puck-mover. He has solid two-way hockey sense, and combining that with his physical game gives him solid defensive value.
The Bad: Lamb isn't an overly-gifted offensive player, and while he's not bad, he doesn't project as a pro-average points producer. His skating is also a tick below average.
Projection: He could be a good third pairing defender.
9. Greg Nemisz, Right Wing 2010-11 Ranking: 3rd Date of birth: 06/06/1990 Age: 22 Height: 6'3'' Weight: 201 Shoots: Right Statistics: 51 GP, 13 G, 29 P (Abbotsford-AHL) Acquired: First round, 25th overall in 2008 by Calgary
The Good: Nemisz took a step forward this year from a physical game standpoint. His muscle mass stood out and he was able to play a pro-level physical brand with effectiveness. He's an above-average thinker who was makes smart reads at both ends. Nemisz is a hard-working player who will battle well in the corners and forecheck with effort. He has fine defensive value as well.
The Bad: At this point, any real hopes of Nemisz being an NHL scorer are starting to fade as he doesn't really create at that level. His skating still isn't all that good either, as he can be a tad sluggish.
Projection: He could be a bottom six forward.
10. Michael Ferland, Left Wing 2010-11 Ranking: Unranked Date of birth: 08/17/1992 Age: 20 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 208 Shoots: Left Statistics: 68 GP, 47 G, 96 P (Brandon-WHL) Acquired: Fifth round, 133rd overall in 2010 by Calgary
The Good: Ferland took significant strides in his development this season. He's a big body forward who one scout describes as "tough as nails" while another praises his physical game saying, "he's got a lot of toughness, he protects the puck well with his body, and he goes hard to the net." Ferland has decent hockey sense as he can be a notable passer who thinks well in his own end, too.
The Bad: Ferland has okay hands, but he's not really a puck skills guy. His skating is decent for his size but a tick below-average overall. He also needs to improve his conditioning.
Projection: He could be a third line forward.
The Next Five
11. Patrick Sieloff, Defense: Sieloff is a tough, physical defender with solid mobility but not much offensive ability.
12. Paul Byron, Center: Byron is a great skater with skill who plays with energy. He's very small, though, and at this point he could be tracking as an AHLer.
13. Leland Irving, Goaltender: Irving probably could be a decent back up this season but his ceiling isn't much higher than that.
14. Chris Breen, Defense: Breen is huge and has decent hockey sense, but he has no offensive ability and is a fringe skater.
15. Coda Gordon, Left Wing: Gordon's skating is a weakness, but he's got a good physical game, a great shot, and decent hands.
The Sleeper: Ryan Culkin, Defense
Culkin doesn't have a great skill set, but he's a smart player who always seemed to know how to make the right plays with the puck. I could see a big uptick in his production in Quebec next season.
Calgary Flames Organizational Top 10
Players 22 or under as of 09/15/2012 or still considered a prospect as defined here.
1. Sven Baertschi, Left Wing 2. Roman Cervenka, Center 3. T.J. Brodie, Defense 4. John Gaudreau, Left Wing 5.Markus Granlund, Center 6. Roman Horak, Center 7. Mark Jankowski, Center 8. Max Reinhart, Center 9. Bill Arnold, Center 10. Brady Lamb, Defense
I'm a T.J. Brodie fan, as I had him as a Top 100 NHL Prospects at this time last year, and while he certainly had to be guarded in his first year as a pro, he certainly offensive tools to his game. As he develops and steadily logs tougher minutes, he could be a real power-play threat for Calgary. I was a little surprised to see Roman Horak in the NHL as a regular, not because I don't like him as a player, but I certainly would have liked to see him get a full AHL season or so. He has puck possession elements to his game between his skill level and hockey sense and could be an above-average pro down the line.

...this is from a thread over at astrologyweekly.com I started. I realize this may be a bit "Off" for the subject of predictions.
Yet by studying these past astrological occurences with hindsight I believe we can achieve a breakthrough of understanding how to interpret said aspects in the future.
Greetings. A number of you have probably read the two analyses I've done on retro planets. I mention it is a theorethical and thus empirical technique...but by all indications does work.
Let's take a look at Mars retrograde back on Sept. 6, 1941.
Mars went retro at just about 23* Aries 43', the 24th degree of Aries. at that time the Moons North Node was in the 23rd degree of Virgo.
The Principal/Cosmic Law, that Mars is trying to stimulate action in is represented by the Sabian symbol found at the 24th of Aries.
From Rudhyar we get the Symbol and his definition.
"ARIES 24*: BLOWN INWARD BY THE WIND, THE CUTAINS OF AN OPEN WINDOW TAKE THE SHAPE OF A CORNUCOPIA. Keynote: Openess to the influx of spiritual energies." And Rudhyar goes on to define/explain this symbol with the keyword[s] "MOLDED BY TRANSPERSONAL FORCES."
The North Node at this time was in the 23rd degree of Virgo...thus representing what Mars' stimuli concerning this Principal/Law meant to society.
The 23rd degree of Virgo is [from Rudhyars' book] "VIRGO 23*: A LION TAMER DISPLAYS HIS SKILL AND CHARACTER. Keynote: The need to tame ones' vital energies in order to fulfill ones destiny.We see here the development of the concept of training. The true aristocrat is the individual who is in complete control of his vital and emotional energies; at the spiritual level this includes the overcoming of pride - pride in ones' strength and mastery, and the pride attached to an exalted status or social office."
...and Rudhyar went further on in summation..."...The meaning of this phase of development is traditional and evident. The whole process of social -ethical and occult - spiritual conditioning of the individual aims at the control of mans' 'animal nature.' The energies of this nature can be put to many uses. Implied in any successful process of taming and training is [Rudhyars' keyword{s}] RESOLUTENESS AND PATIENCE'.
As this was just prior to the States entry into WWII I find it interesting that the combo of symbols here suggests about exactly what a warrior would do just prior to battle.
1. Meditate on the situation...open ones self to the 'Godhead' ...one must determine if his battle is a noble and honorable one...one that is "TRUE". To let oneself be 'Molded' or 'Cast' by the Cause into the Man it needs for the situation... to be shaped by the 'Transpersonal Forces"
And 2. One has to be calm "Resolute" and "Patient" ...be a complete master of himself and his skills to "Tame" the opponent.
Mars went retro until Nov. 10, 1941.
Mars was at apprx. 11* Aries 29' when it went direct that day, i.e. the 12th degree of Aries. The Moons North Node was in the 21st degree of Virgo. This degree symbolically represents the additonal energy of a specific Principal/Cosmic Law that Mars had to return to for more of to get the job done at the 24th degree of Aries when it makes it final return.
The sabian for the 12 degree of Aries is "A TRIANGULAR SHAPED FLIGHT OF WILD GEESE. Keynote: An idealistic reliance upon a mental image of universal order.
...and Rudhyars Keyword[s] for this symbols definition are "COSMIC ORDER" [...And this is the degree of the Zodiac that the Sun is in, in my proposed birth chart for Jesus/Yeshua...]
The symbol for the North Node at the 21st degree of Virgo is "A GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM"
This symbol is about training as a group. And when you combine it with that of the one for Mars...an interesting implication arises that training/discipline/and order are the 'ORDER OF THE DAY'.
Well, at this point we have imagery of resoluteness, patience, skill, training as a group and are being told to keep in mind what the correct "Cosmic Order" is ...It's almost as if it was being asked, of those that follow the Creators plan, of those that are one with his will, to prepare and train for an 'adversary' that challenged the "Cosmic Order".
Mars returned to 23* Aries 43' on the 29th of Dec., 1941 and the North Node at that time was in the 17th degree of Virgo.
But, Mars, on it's way to the "Final Return" entered the 22nd degree of Aries on the 23rd of Dec. The Sabian smbol for which is "A PUGALIST ENTERS THE RING."...gee, a symbol of a trained fighter entering the ring/fray and this happens just after the attack on the USA at Pearl Harbor...
The North Node that day? The 17th of Virgo...Sabian Symbol "A VOLCANIC ERUPTION" keyword: "EXPLOSION"!!!...Sabians!!

That's a mold-breaker. Great thininkg!
Hi Jake,
I'm a NYC-based freelance animator, and I read on Didier Ghez' blog that you were writing about Art Babbitt. While I was doing my MFA classes at UCLA (from 2005-2008), I ripped a DVD of an interview that a student did with Art in the late 1980s (I think) because I was interested in the apparent paucity of prominent Jewish animators in history, save Goldberg and Babbitt. The interview is about an hour. I'm not sure what kind of policies and clearances regarding "fair use" (and the UCLA Animation dept. folks might require a bit of stroking to grant permission), but I'm happy to share the video with you if you haven't seen it yet, in the name of exhaustive research!
Let me know if you're interested!
David Meslin
You can see some of my work at youtube.com/davidjmeslin
I really appreciated your article lauding Art Babbitt's accomplishments as an animator and an educator . His methods of teaching animation (disseminated via Richard Williams and the notes of various Williams studio animators who studied under Babbitt during those years) have had a major impact on how animation principles are taught .
One thing you should correct about this article is a rather off-handed , somewhat dismissive remark about Lester Novros on page 5: "Before Babbitt joined the staff of the University of Southern California, a single animation class was taught by ex-Disney inbetweener Lester Novros. "
The phrase "ex-Disney inbetweener" is a gross understatement about Les Novros's career and doesn't do the man justice. Google for Les Novros's screen credits on IMDB or on the "History" section of his company GraphicFilms .com
Les Novros , like everyone else , including "star animators" like Art Babbitt , Fred Moore , or Frank Thomas , started at Disney serving an apprenticeship on the lower rungs of the ladder as an assistant animator , so it would be just as accurate to refer to "ex-Disney inbetweener Frank Thomas" or "ex-Terrytoons assistant Art Babbitt" , but does that sort of description accurately sum up Frank Thomas's or Art Babbitt's subsequent careers and positions in the industry ? Not at all. Novros started off as an assistant at Disney, but by 1940 was credited as an animator on Fantasia ("Night on Bald Mountain / Ave Maria" sequence) . He left Disney during the 1941 strike and established his own independent animation studio, Graphic Films, which produced hundreds of educational , documentary, and advertising films in animation and live-action over the years. Novros was a central figure in establishing the Cinema Department of the University of Southern California .

Welcome to THT Poetry!
by Ed DeCariaJune 15, 2012
If you think that Sabermetrics has had a tough time winning public admiration, then brace yourself, because we are about to start promoting its much older, uglier, prude of a cousin: Poetry.
My name is Ed DeCaria, and I have been granted the privilege of sharing baseball-related poetry with you here at The Hardball Times. Poems will appear in the THT Live section with headers containing the conspicuous prefix "THT Poetry."
If readership here is anything like the broader population, most of you have tuned poetry out of your lives by now. But with baseball as our shared landscape, I'll try to make it relevant for you again.
To me, poetry is a literary Jose Oquendo—it's lean (5-foot-10/160), discerning (career 12 percent/10 percent BB/K rates), and can play anywhere (1988!). And that's good, because I don't know any more than you what I will be writing about week-by-week. Today, we'll tether ourselves to Dee Gordon's feet. Next week, I'll try to recap Kerry Wood's career with some statistically-guided verse. But beyond those (and possibly some sultry prose from the perspective of an R.A. Dickey knuckleball), my lineup card is blank.
What follows is a one-poem introduction to poetry. Marianne Moore wrote this nearly 100 years ago:
Here are five things that I like about Moore's poem (which is included in this collection available for purchase):
- She refers to both baseball and statisticians as "phenomena" not easily understood or admired. Turns out she actually LOVED baseball. As an 81-year-old, she threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Opening Day 1968 (photo here).
- She knocks unintelligible, over-derived poetry for being closed to meaningful interpretation.
- She argues that poetry can be useful in the same way that an evolved body part can be useful. I had never thought about poetry being directly "useful" until I read this poem.
- She teases readers with this idea of "imaginary gardens with real toads in them," which I find immensely provocative.
- She ends, as I begin, with an invitation to discover poetry in all its rawness and genuineness.
With that, welcome to THT Poetry! Should be a lot of fun. Please never hesitate to comment or critique, or suggest a topic.
And now for my debut ... a sudoku haiku:
by Ed DeCaria
Dee Gordon ignores
gravity / erasers chase
laces around
cleats kick chalk
mid-air / chattering teeth unleash
their sound
second dive third / safely back on ground
