Highlights from Egypt's draft constitution
Draft defines principles of Shariah law
Egypt's draft constitution, which is being voted on in a referendum Saturday, is made up of an introduction, an 11-part preamble and 236 articles. Critics have raised concerns over issues including Islamic law and women's rights:
Shariah (Islamic) law
Like a previous constitution, the draft states, "Principles of Islamic Shariah are the principal source of legislation." For the first time, the draft defines those principles, rooting them in "general evidence, foundational rules" and other rules from the long tradition of Islamic jurisprudence. Both critics and ultraconservative supporters of the charter say that opens the doors for stricter imposition of Islamic law.
Role of clerics
The draft gives Islamic clerics unprecedented powers with an article stating, "Al-Azhar senior scholars are to be consulted in matters pertaining to Islamic law," referring to the most respected centre of scholarship and rulings in Sunni Islam.
An article commits "the state and society" to "entrenching and protecting the moral values" of "the authentic Egyptian family." Critics worry the broad phrasing will allow not only the government but also individuals to intervene in personal rights.
Women's rights
The draft mentions women in the framework of the traditional Muslim family, adding, "The state shall ensure maternal and child health services free of charge and ensure reconciliation between the duties of a woman toward her family and her work." The preamble underlines equality "for all citizens, men and women, without discrimination or nepotism or preferential treatment, in both rights and duties." But opponents charge that the document does not protect women from discrimination.
Civil rights
The draft guarantees freedom of expression, creativity, assembly and other rights. It also has a direct ban on torture and stricter provisions limiting detentions and searches by police. But it says the rights "must be practiced in a manner not conflicting with" principles of Shariah or the morals of the family. There is also a ban on insulting "religious messengers and prophets," opening the door to arrests of bloggers and other activists.
News media
Independent publications closed for a day to protest the lack of an article banning arrest of journalists for what they write. The draft has this: "Freedom of the press, printing, publication and mass media shall be guaranteed. The media shall be free and independent..."
Religious minorities
The draft guarantees the freedom of Christians and Jews to practice their rites, live by their religions' rule on marriage, inheritance and personal status and establish places of worship. But it hedges those rights on the condition they do not "violate public order" and that they will be "regulated by law." In the past, the building of churches has been limited by law because of claims it disturbs public order. The draft guarantees those rights for "the divine religions," meaning Christianity and Judaism, but not others, raising concerns of persecution of smaller sects.
The charter ensures an independent status for the powerful military. The president is the head of the national security council, but the defence minister is the commander in chief of the armed forces and "appointed from among its officers." Control of the military budget is not mentioned. It also allows civilians to be tried before military courts in some cases.

Eighteen late medieval central Italian paintings featuring the figure of Eve reclining on the ground beneath the enthroned Virgin have been the center of a decades-long debate among scholars. The dispute centers on whether the imagery depicts Mary as Eve's counterpart in the role of virgin mother or intercessor as the Second Eve. I argue that these two possibilities are not mutually exclusive and instead support one another. I maintain that Eve and Mary appear as opposites according to their contrasting sexual statuses because their antithesis lies at the center of the theology of the Second Eve and the heart …

Who is he?
Julio-César is a man of considerable power and strength, which most of the time he employs in his work. Although he is actually a very sensitive and emotional soul, this isn´t the first impression that one might have on meeting him. Indeed, he possesses such self-mastery that he generally appears to be more rough and ready or abrupt than he really is; such is the effect of his combination of shyness, lack of spontaneity, reserve and natural modesty. His greatest strength is most definitely his ability to steadfastly follow his path, like the sturdy goat who slowly but very surely climbs the mountainside towards the peak with the help of his uniquely designed hoofs - incidentally, his astrological sign is often Capricorn. He is not a particularly impressive man, and this is definitely not the effect that he wishes to produce on others. He prefers to keep himself to himself and believes this to be the best way to ensure a happy and stress-free existence. Julio-César may be rather slow, but he is a very determined character who knows exactly where he wants to be, and it doesn´t matter if it takes him years to get there because he knows that will reach his destination... Calm and thoughtful, he is cautious and rather wary; and since he has a habit of supressing his emotions, an insult or injury can hit him hard. Because he also supresses his anger, if he is wronged he will ruminate and could become bitter and resentful; but one thing´s for certain, he will never forget. He is a very humane person, and if he can live at the elevated vibrations of his master number 22, he could accomplish great things in his lifetime. Remember, Julio-César might not draw attention to himself but his will and determination are unshakeable, which confers him with exceptional potential. As a child, Julio-César must accept his reserved, unhurried nature and self-protective attitude because they are a part of him and also qualities that will serve him well in life. Parents, there´s no need to get on his case because he is responsible young man who can be trusted to use his judgement wisely. When it comes to his studies, he prefers the scientific subjects, where his rational mind feels most at ease. He works at his own pace, and his tendency to take his time could occasionally result in « average » school marks in an educational system that is based on performance, but this will in no way prevent him from succeeding in life - quite the contrary, in fact.
What does he like?
Julio-César values freedom above all else, and is glad to be an integral part of a world in which he feels that he fully participates. He aspires to ascension and conquest while difficulty and even failure spur him on. He enjoys physical exercise, but is more of a long distance runner than a sprinter. He loves the earth, nature and animals; for whom he has a lot of patience and compassion. In love, he is sensual, affectionate and tender; and although he can have trouble resisting temptation, he tends to be faithful when in a relationship. He makes a stable and protective partner, who can be a little shy and doesn´t always know how to express his feelings...

Architectural Photography Albuquerque NM – Photographing Buildings Inside and Out
The American Architect, Richard Meier once said, "Architecture connects the present with the past and the tangible with the intangible".
Ansel Adams, arguably one of the most influential landscape photographers today once said, "Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art".
So, as a professional who has spent the last 20 years combining both Architecture and Photography to earn a living, I believe Architectural Photography should be defined as:
Using photography as the medium to create art that connects the present with the past and the tangible with the intangible.
As a professional Architectural Photographer, my goal each day (big goal, little goal, or crowning achievement) is to create. With the title of photographer attached, one may assume that the use of a camera is my sole means to create. However, that's only the tip of the iceberg!
It's easy to create art that's different, but much more difficult to create art that's better. Architectural Photography begins with existing elements such as Composition, Features, Design, Space, Direction and Flow. Architectural Photography ends with Light, natural light, existing light, reflective light and the absence of light. Somewhere, briefly thrown in the middle of these elements is a camera, a lens and some technical experience on how to use them.
Greg Folkins is a nationally recognized, award winning Architectural and Commercial photographer available throughout the United States. Greg Folkins is a specialty studio with 20 years professional photography experience in commercial, corporate, industrial and residential real estate.

ATHENS, GA (RNN) – Georgia defeated Gardner-Webb in the battle of the bulldog mascots, winning 58-49 in Athens Thursday night.
The win is the fourth straight for the Georgia Dawgs (5-4) and pushes them over the .500 mark for the first time since their season opener, a 72-52 win against Wofford on Nov. 8.
After a slow start that didn't see either team score a point until 17:16 in the first, Gardner-Webb (6-7) fell behind quickly and trailed them throughout the game. GWU closed to within one point during a three-minute Georgia scoring drought in the first half, but that's as close as it would come.
Guard Juwan Parker was Georgia's leading scorer with 12 points and nine rebounds. Forward Marcus Thornton scored 11 points and had seven rebounds.
The Georgia Dawgs out-manned GWU on the glass, out-rebounding them 46-27, and had 32 defensive rebounds in the contest. Georgia was a disappointment from downtown, only completing three of their 10 3-point shots, and only went 18-of-47 from the floor.
The game had an 11:30 a.m. tipoff to welcome nearly 5,000 Athens-Clarke County school students, teachers and employees.
Georgia welcomes the Western Carolina Catamounts on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 2 p.m.

What is a 'person of interest,' anyway?
What does the expression "person of interest" really mean?
It's an ambiguous term that's been bandied about quite a bit during investigations following the Boston Marathon bombings. Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the mother of the accused bombers, has herself been labeled a "person of interest" in recent days. But what does the term mean to the investigators who use it, and does it have any legal weight?
In short, no. Authorities use the phrase to communicate to the public that they have their eyes on someone in connection with an investigation, but it doesn't mean they have evidence of any wrongdoing -- because if they did, presumably a proper legal term like "suspect" would suffice.
But, as the label has shown us in the aftermath of the Boston bombings, those three little words carry considerable weight in the court of public opinion. At best, the term has come to signify a step removed from an official "suspect." And intentionally or not, it can cast blame or suspicion.
"Critics worry that the term has become a crutch for law enforcement officers, allowing them to draw attention to individuals without formally accusing them," Jamie Jones of Florida's St. Petersburg Times wrote in 2004.
By then, the phrase had been gaining traction for years. The "person of interest" descriptor was first widely used during a government probe into the 1996 bombing at the Atlanta Summer Olympics, when suspicion fell on security guard Richard Jewell, said Time. But Jewell was found to be completely innocent -- though not until his "trial by media" was long past.
Jewell never forgave the press for lending the term currency, going on to successfuly sue various media organizations for libel.
That case should have taught the press to be careful, according to The Poynter Institute's Kelly McBride.
She warned the American Journalism Review that the phrase can mean authorities "are trying to scare the person into confessing, drum up more information about the person and kind of otherwise smooth over cracks in their case."
"As journalists, we have to treat that term with increased skepticism," she said. "[W]e should be pressing authorities to say why this is a 'person of interest,' why hasn't he been charged, what is the evidence, and what are their motives in having us publish this ... in a newsroom, when someone is labeled a 'person of interest,' there has to be an additional threshold ... including, if possible, independent reporting that somehow verifies what the police are telling us," she told the American Journalism Review.
Some say the tactic is an outright abuse of power.
"I think the government, through its use of terms like person of interest, is muddying the legal waters in order to expand its own ability to investigate people and pursue terrorist suspects," lawyer Ronald Weich told The New York Times as part of their 2003 series, "Words as Tactics In War on Terror."
"They're stretching their legal authority to the breaking point," Weich told The Times.
That limit was recently tested in court by Steven J. Hatfill, the scientist targeted in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's 2001 anthrax probe. He sued the Department of Justice for violating his privacy after being named a "person of interest" in the case.
The verdict? The court found "not a scintilla of evidence that would indicate that Dr. Hatfill had anything to do with" the anthrax investigation, according to a 2008 ruling cited in The Atlantic.
The Justice Department moved quickly to contain the affair, settling with Hatfill for $5.82 million. Hatfill also sued various media organizations for libel; more on that here.
Pressed for a more exact definition, authorities say "person of interest" only means they want to talk to the person. Meaning, the person that they're interested in. Meaning, the person that they're interested in for reasons they can't discuss. In the grey area of investigative work, one can see how the phrase gained such a foothold; but readers should know that its meaning is nowhere near as sure as it sounds.

Last week, Congressmen Tim Bishop and Steve Israel called on the House Republican leadership to extend unemployment insurance benefits. The two further demanded leadership hold a vote immediately upon the House returning to session in early January.
"It is absolutely unconscionable that the leadership in the House would allow is to adjourn for the holidays while leaving so many families in danger of not being able to keep a roof over their heads or put food on the table," said Bishop in a press release issued Friday. "The time to deliberate about extending unemployment insurance benefits has long since passed. It is time for us to act, and act swiftly to ensure that Long Island families are protected."
"As our economy continues to recover from the worst economic downtown since the Great Depression, it's crucial that we provide those New Yorkers who lost jobs through no fault of their own with the vital relief they deserve as they look for new employment," said Israel. "It is unconscionable that 1.3 million people around the country are out in the cold especially during the holidays. That is why I'm standing with Rep. Bishop today to call on Congress to immediately extend Federal Unemployment Insurance."
Without an extension, 1.3 million Americans could lose access to unemployment insurance benefits on December 28. An additional 3.5 million could lose coverage in 2014.

"In an interview with RealClearPolitics on Thursday, Mitt Romney dismissed any possibility that Ron Paul might win the Republican nomination.
"'Ron Paul's not going to be our nominee,' Romney said aboard his campaign bus, en route to a rally in Ames."
"[Romney's] decision to double down in Iowa has heightened the pressure to produce a strong showing just as polls are suggesting a surge by Representative Ron Paul of Texas, whose libertarian message appears to be resonating with many voters. A victory by Mr. Paul on Tuesday would test the ability of Mr. Romney's advisers to spin a second-place result into a win for him.
"Even Mr. Romney seemed to recognize the futility of that public relations effort, should it come to that. Asked on Wednesday afternoon whether a second-place finish behind Mr. Paul would qualify as a victory, Mr. Romney was quick to answer.
"'Uh, no,' he said."
"A Santorum surge, Erickson wrote, means Romney is likely to win the nomination.
"That prospect doesn't bother King, who pointed to Romney's 'exemplary family life' with his wife of 42 years and five sons. 'He has more children and fewer vices than I have, so how can I criticize him?' King said, in what could be viewed as an appeal to social conservatives to come to terms with Romney's likely success. 'I could do business with Mitt Romney. I could do business with any of these candidates.'
"Actually, there is one candidate whose foreign policy position troubles King far more than Romney's waffling on abortion. Ron Paul advocates pulling all American troops out of foreign countries as part of a massive military disengagement. 'That would be a calamity,' King said. He also worries that a Paul victory in the Iowa caucuses would diminish the state's status because the quirky libertarian is so unlikely to win the nomination."
"The Paul candidacy is of course doomed. But the Paul vote won't die. This vote has been building in the depths of the American political ocean since the spending spree of the second Bush term. These people see the upward spending trend in annual outlays and accumulated commitments not as a 'problem,' as the Beltway prefers, but as a threat to their well-being…
"[I]f the former Massachusetts governor doesn't reach out pretty soon to the Paul-Perry-Bachmann Republican protest voters, he may never get them. The longer he waits, the more pressure will build for a third-party challenge that will cost him the election. That it would be led by a Ron Paul or Donald Trump is irrelevant to why these people would vote third party—or stay home.
"Mr. Romney is going to have to take a risk with some piece of his locked-down strategy—the RomneyCare denial, the 'middle-class' ceiling on his tax cut, naming a running mate who could have beaten him in the primaries."
"It's difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a reassuring 'unity photo' from the Tampa convention showing Ron Paul joining the other also-rans lifting arms at the podium together with the victor who has beaten them. The more support angry voters provide to Paul protest candidacy the more inconceivable that image becomes, and the more likely the reelection of Obama and Biden.
"By far the best outcome for those who yearn above all to replace the Democrat in the White House would be to witness the rapid, well-deserved fizzle of the Paulian insurgency. This sort of quick collapse remains a distinct possibility—with a disappointing showing in Iowa followed by even more limited support that polls presently predict in the other early primary states. If Paul winds up with less than 10 percent of the national Republican vote, he would merit only an obscure position at the convention, reassuring the broader public that if you refuse to disavow support from open Nazis and unrepentant Ku Kluxers—as Dr. Paul explicitly refuses to do, in interviews recently with The New York Times and four years ago on my radio show—you will find no comfortable home in today's Republican Party.
"Voters who might feel tempted to express discontent with the status quo by casting a ballot for Ron Paul during primary season still understand that backing him in any third party bid would bring disaster to the conservative cause; in the general election, it's obvious that a vote for Ron Paul would amount to a vote for Barack Obama."
"Here's the point that I believe Henninger misses. 'These people' who are fuelling the Paul boomlet, and before that the Bachman/Perry/Cain/Gingrich boomlets, are not just the Republican protest vote. Since Obama has no Democrat rivals, there's no real opportunity for a Democrat protest vote. The only way for Republicans and the unaffiliated middle-of-the-roader who voted for Obama in 2008 to show their opposition to Washington policies is the Republican primary. And who are they? They are the broad middle class who are unemployed or have family members, neighbors and friends who are losing their homes, their jobs and their hope for a better future while Washington lives it up on their dime…
"They are that virtual mob with pitchforks that are desperate to anoint someone as their leader who will help them storm the castle and evict the ogre holed up there. Mitt Romney doesn't look like the kind of guy who is comfortable handling a pitchfork, but if he's the last man standing after all the others fail, he'll be appointed to that role.
"In 2008 the people went to the polls before the full impact of the financial melt-down had sunk in. They voted for Mr. HopeN'Change because they thought Obama didn't really mean it when he promised to fundamentally change America. They though that they were electing a President who would fix the problems and set the country back on its accustomed course. The Three Years of Obama taught them just how wrong they were. HopeN'Change is now replaced by Change it Back. Obama is now viewed with fear and loathing. Those who did not like him now despise him and those who were on the fence are joining the opposition. Many see Obama as the ogre in the castle who has taken America hostage. The middle class is in danger of losing its grip on their part of the American Dream, and this time the mob with pitchforks is for real. That is the real meaning of the Paul vote."
"Rep. Ron Paul's surge in Iowa has triggered a theoretical question for his rivals this week: given his foreign policy views, would they be willing to support him over President Obama if he were the nominee? Newt Gingrich said 'no,' Mitt Romney said 'yes.' But it is also a kind of an intriguing gut check question for conservatives on how they balance foreign and domestic policy. Having thought about it over the last few days and debated it on Twitter for a bit last night, I've determined that I'd very begrudgingly back Obama in such a matchup."

I'm not sure that kind of fourth line utilization is sustainable in the playoffs, but here we are nonetheless, and the Leafs are now back where I have felt they should be all along: 57 points in the standings, and within shouting difference of the Division and Conference leaders (notwithstanding the Penguins).
Leafs get contributions across the board, take out Phoenix…

Hi Michael,ReplyDelete
To directly answer your question, nothing. This is the same team that we have watched all season. When they get out of this world goaltending, from either of their netminders, and score more than their opposition on the power play, they win. They are capable of doing this as long as their opportunistic fortunes will allow. There is no difference in the way they are playing right now, still out shot, and out chanced, than at any other time this season. Or last season, for that matter.
They are who we thought they were. This will come as a surprise to some fans, but this is the same mediocre hockey team I have grown over the years to hate, in a loving, benevolent kind of way. As long as they have a goalie able to put up a .951 save percentage, the are capable of winning any game they play. More average goaltending than that, and the results will be horrifying.
Pretty tough to be any of the Leafs who barely see the ice. As you mentioned, Ashton picked up a point, and then was stapled to the bench for the rest of the game. Way to reward the young guy coach. I guess watching Troy Bodie fall down, is the kind of play our staff needs to see more of. Oh good, Troy Bodie is playing tonight, said no hockey fan, ever.
Two points, good for the team, guess the bounces went their way. No further thoughts needed in Toronto. What is everybody going to say if this team misses the playoffs? Those other mediocre/crappy hockey teams had more things go their way?Replies
I appreciate that your views regarding the Leafs don't shift with the wind, Jim. It's easy to get caught up when the team wins games, as I noted in a post here not that long ago. Then, everything is rosy, when, in reality, the same issues are usually just beneath the surface of a great goaltending performance. Thanks for keeping us grounded.Delete
What's different? Scoring from the second line and the D. Less onus on McClement. A stronger third line that even generates a point or two every now and then. Holland. Gleason.ReplyDelete
We're still giving up too many shots, and need to find a fourth line that can play meaningful minutes. The giveaways are brutal, but it feels like we're reducing them. Let's face it - they can't all be classics, and 5 in a row is something to celebrate.
I sense a slowly growing sense of confidence in the team.Replies

Hi Michael.ReplyDelete
Nice to have a win at the start of a challenging road trip, 4 games in 6 days. They'll need minutes from the 4th line.
I thought Phaneuf seemed a bit off tonight (did anyone else?), but good play by Gunnarsson charging for the net on the delayed penalty. Maybe issues with his hip have improved. He looks like he's skating better lately. Franson is so sharp offensively, but that pass right onto a Coyote's stick was awful. I can't complain about the offense.
Happy they got the win and maybe winning 5 in a row and being in reach of the Habs will be motivation for the games ahead. C.N.Replies
Well, they needed a jumpstart, and now we'll see if they can build consistency into their play in the weeks ahead. We can notice some good things, but as Jim says (and as you and Gerund noted as well) there are still issues. So we'll see. Thanks Colleen.Delete
"Has Carlyle finally made some of the adjustments fans have been clamoring for?"ReplyDelete
"Whatever his critics say, Bozak has had an impact since his return. Gleason seems to have helped to solidify the back end. Bernier has been outstanding for the most part. We're seeing Gardiner put up the kind of points he is capable of producing. Rielly continues to gain confidence. Kulemin quietly played an effective 20 plus minutes Monday night against the Coyotes.
Kessel is scoring, Phaneuf continues to do his job. McClement has been much more effective since playing more modest minutes. Kadri, the subject of my most recent post, is now on a roll—just like the team.?
I think you have most of it there. The only thing missed is Peter Holland
The return of Bozak allows Kessel and JVR more freedom. They know he will be the the first and the fastest one back to help prevent a goal. It also takes pressure off Kadri. He's good on the shoot out too.
Kulemin's size and solid defensive play helps Kadri and Lupul in a similar way.
Bringing in Holland provides a third line that can score and takes pressure and some defensive checking off the top two lines. They can't key on Kadri like they did in the slump.
McClement on the 4th line is fresher for a good penalty kill .
Carlyle has been more effective by making these changes but he has also been giving Kessel extra time on other lines and away from the top checking. That started in Boston.
The question is...can Carlyle take the next step?
Bodie looked good on the third line. How much better would he look on the 4th rather than Colton Orr. Play Bodie against the softer teams. Your fourth line would be Ashton, McClement and Bodie. You could play that line for 10 minutes and keep the top three lines more fresh and energetic.
When he comes back, perhaps Clarkson plays on the third line with Raymond and Holland. That's a nice 3rd line.
Until Clarkson is healthy, why not sneak Spencer Abbott in on the third line for a game against the softer teams?
The guy had a 3 point game today (in on every goal) for 41 points in 36 games and is plus 11. He's 4th in AHL scoring!
His coach raves about him:
He was a Hobey Baker finalist as one of the best player in college hockey.
We might have a late blooming little college guy like Martin St. Louis. Martin was once a Calgary Flames prospect, but they didn't play him and went to Tampa for nothing. We don't want to repeat that mistake.
Abbott had instant chemistry with Peter Holland. The Marlies don't play again until Friday, so he would be fresh and useful on a tough road trip.
Orr can play against a tough Colorado team Tuesday. Maybe we could sneak Abbott in on Thursday against Dallas?Replies
You've spoken about Abbott here before- didn't we get a bit of a sneak preview of him at this level early this season? St. Louis was certainly an overlooked player who went on to have a remarkable NHL career. Whether there's a third-line role at times here for Abbott right now, I don't know.Delete
I would like to see a reliable fourth line play more significant minutes, for sure.
We'll see if Carlyle continues to make modifications to the lineup. Thanks as always for your input and perspectiva, DP.
"...didn't we get a bit of a sneak preview of him at this level early this season?"Delete
Just one game. That does seem nearly enough in comparison to the chances given to other players.
McLaren has played 22 games, Smithson 17, D'Amigo 19, Ashton 25 and 16 games for Bodie.
The above group has played a total of 99 games and has produced 7 points while going minus 9.
Considering the chances given to others, Abbott deserves a better chance, at least 5 games. 10 games would not be unreasonable for the 4th leading scorer and number one assist man in the AHL. He is still young, only 25 years old.
I definitely agree with that, DP. You know I've said here many times that young players need a run of games to show what they can do. I just said that a few days ago about Holland, when people suggested he could play a second line pivot role. If the Leafs were to try that, they would need to really give him a chance to play a lot of games in that situation.Delete
So yes, Abbott, if he is ever going to play here, needs to be given a legitimate opportunity. Thanks DP.

Hi MichaelReplyDelete
It is still very hard to get a read on this team. They are playing well during this stretch but they still haven't played 60 minutes of dominating hockey at all this year. Maybe its an unlikely expectation for any team to dominate, but they haven't controlled a game for 60 minutes either. Every game it seems must go down to the wire and right now the bounces are going our way.
Recently carlyle has been putting a better combination of players on the ice especially having to sit out McLaren, Frasor, and Ranger. The timely production from the scorers, great goaltending and special teams has made this run possible. As mentioned, McClement playing on the 4th line is a more suitable roll keeping him fresh for the pk. Also, for Carlyle, sending the young kids back out there even after having made a mistake on the ice has renewed confidence to let the players play, not having to worry about being benched if they make a mistake and causing them to squeeze the stick the next time they do go out there.
I would not be surprised to see our team play their best hockey of the year now that we are on a roll and have the mojo back. Especially when we consider that there are players still not producing as much as they even like to with Lupul, Clarkson, Kulemin and with more ice time players like Ashton perhaps on the verge of breaking out the way Kadri has recently. Imagine if we can get everyone going at the same time. Secondary scoring has been key but there is still more to give from some of the players.
Equally likely is another losing streak, if the goaltending should falter and the scoring dry up. As we have cleaned up some of the areas of our game but have a ways to go before we can say it is for real.
So call me to be sitting on the fence right now. Until we see something more from this team.
I'll enjoy the wins for now as we are again in control of our own destination being on the inside looking out as opposed to being on the outside looking in.Replies
Some of your reflections today, BlueANDwhite, made me think of the baseball player on a hot streak, where everything goes his way. When that's happening, fans are thrilled with his play. But when the inevitable cold streak happens, they want him traded.Delete
There is a little more to it in a team sport like hockey, of course, but similar principles apply. The Leafs are still usually getting outshot and out chanced, and excellent goaltending has kept them in a position to win these games. If the sticks turn cold or the netminding goes sideways, would we be winning these games?
That's not being negative, just realistic. And you provided a dose of reality today- thanks, BlueANDwhite.
This to me was a tale of two games. The Leafs played the type of up-tempo game, pinching d-men, beat the opponent to the puck, out-physical them in the corners game until they were up 3-0. Unfortunately at that point they simply went into cruise control and nearly let the Coyotes back in the game.ReplyDelete
It's been cited many times here recently that mixing up the third and fourth lines has made a difference, playing to the assets the Leafs have in Holland and McClement. I was very impressed with Ashton in the first period, not just for his goal, but all-out hustle. Looking at the final score sheet and seeing that he played all of 2:01 all night tells me everything I need to know. The Leafs simply need to find a way to keep that fourth line rolling throughout the game. If they are that afraid of Orr being a liability, then they need to insert a defensive minded Marlie in his place.
They are right back at it tonight. Two games in two nights on a western road trip. I found it interesting that Joe Bowen, who is not known for making excuses for the Leafs, kept citing how tiring the travel was for the Leafs and it showed. That kinda frightens me going into Colorado tonight. They need last night's first period team to show up for three periods. That team was definitely different than what we have seen all season.Replies
The Avalanche are a strong team this season and will bring a lot of intensity to this match-up I suspect, Pete. Like you, I very much want to see a fourth line that the coach has enough confidence in to play real minutes. Good teams can roll four lines. Sure, you rely on your top lines as needed, but you ultimately need contributions from everyone- including guys who aren't in the lineup every night. That's how you build that team feeling. Thanks Pete.Delete
- Pete CamJanuary 21, 2014 at 10:45 AM
Last night was again a tale of two games. The first game lasted until around the 5 minute mark of the second period. The Leafs were skating, checking and scoring. They were the dominant team. Then the rope-a-dope Leafs took over. They stopped skating, seemed content to defend and were constantly beaten to the puck in their own end.ReplyDelete
This seems to be a constant theme with this team and is frustrating to watch. With a number of players coming off the flu, a long flight to Phoenix and a 4 games in 6 days ahead doesn't it seem obvious that a 10-12 minute stint by a 4th line would take some pressure off the top lines and keep them much fresher for the 3rd period. A line of McClement, Ashton and D'Amigo would certainly be able to acquit themselves more than adequately in that role.
Regarding last night's game I agree with Colleen that Phaneuf was off his game. In fact he and Franson looked awfully slow. It is also important, I believe, that Franson partners with Gleason. He is gifted offensively but his giveaways are becoming worrisome.
The Leafs have certainly improved since the Carolina game but they still have a ways to go. A better utilization of the bottom six would be a step in the right directionReplies
I think it's fair, Pete Cam, especially with the team winning some games, to pause and continue to reflect on the things the Leafs need to be better at (including coaching decisions) down the home stretch.Delete
Just as smart coaches usually lay off the players a bit when the team is really struggling so as not to beat them down even further (and do their ranting when the team wins games because guys may actually be more receptive!), fans can enjoy these wins but also recognize the areas where the team needs to continue to improve. The fourth-line deployment you cite is but one of those areas, Pete. Thanks for posting.

Late in the third period the camera showed Carlyle behind the Leaf's bench. My eye was drawn instead to Orr and I couldn't help feeling sorry for him, sitting there nearly the entire game watching, when anyone would want to contribute more. Not to forget McLaren who would be sitting in the stands, not dressed.ReplyDelete
Those saying these two shouldn't be with the Leafs are right based on minutes played, but I wonder if the rest of the team thinks Carlyle and Nonis sticking with Orr and McLaren is a good thing as a sign of loyalty to veteran players. Speculation on my part, but based simply on minutes played it is clear Orr and McLaren aren't on the roster mainly for on ice reasons.
Those guys playing or not playing on the fourth line aren't what's making this team win or lose. During the past dozen games, its been the same core group on the top 3 lines that have been on a losing streak and a winning streak. So you can't pin either streak on Orr and McLaren.
What's different to me is that Bozak has rounded into shape, which improves play of the top line, and his presence has pushed Kadri and McClement into more appropriate slots where they are more effective. It also seems the addition of Gleason has settled down the D a bit, allowing Gardiner and Reilly to play as third pair rather than on the 2nd pairing.Replies
Your comments regarding Orr and McLaren do give pause, Steve. Carlyle is a coach who, I won't say favours, but who appreciates what good veterans bring to a team and a locker room. So you may be right. He sees that players like that take one for the team every time they suit up, and they are likely good team guys in terms of approach, attitude and work ethic.Delete
I also agree that they aren't particularly making a difference way or the other in terms of the outcome of games most nights. That said, I do think it's fair to believe that a reliable, trustworthy fourth line would be very valuable for the Leafs heading into the playoffs. Thanks Steve.

Michael, I was going to touch on what will happen with Orr and McLaren once the playoffs begin, but decided not to bring it up. Since you raise it, what I was going to say is I expect to see Leivo and another Marlie called up, and that we won't see either McLaren or Orr dress for any postseason games. And I expect we'll see Orr retire after this season ends.Delete
That could well transpire exactly as you outlined, Steve.Delete

what are the Leafs doing differently now than they did (if anything) over the past couple of months?ReplyDelete
And now, for an answer completely out of left field:
The team has finally appropriated the inspiration derived from hanging a banner in honour of Jon Bon Jovi !!
In a satirical article from The Beaverton (like the Onion News Network), we learn something from everyone's favourite president/CEO...
"When approached for comment MLSE President and CEO Tim Leiweke said he was unfamiliar with Keon, but is certain the banner of an old 1980s rock star from New Jersey who knows nothing about hockey will inspire the Leafs to bring home the Cup."
Of course, Keon had finally taken action as reported in the article: "Dave Keon begins crafting hit single in hopes of finally getting banner in ACC"
Thought you might like to keep up on the recent report on a Vintage Leaf, Michael! Kinda' cool how the contributions of great players of Leafs Past can be related to current events, too bad you didn't get ahead of the curve on that idea!! ;)
I wasn't aware of that article, InTimeFor62. Our smile for the day!Delete

Ha! I just read the Keon story. ( I got sidetracked initially by another story -Marineland CEO Can't Have a Puppy Until He Proves He Can Take Care of Fish) Leiweke is still determined that the Leafs problems can all be solved by re-decorating. C.N.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Colleen- I find I'm happier (in sports fan terms) when I don't pay attention to Leiweke.Delete

Studies of ${cal N}=4$ super Yang Mills operators with large R-charge have shown that, in the planar limit, the problem of computing their dimensions can be viewed as a certain spin chain. These spin chains have fundamental ``magnon\'\' excitations which obey a dispersion relation that is periodic in the momentum of the magnons. This result for the dispersion relation was also shown to hold at arbitrary \'t Hooft coupling. Here we identify these magnons on the string theory side and we show how to reconcile a periodic dispersion relation with the continuum worldsheet description. The crucial idea is that the momentum is interpreted in the string theory side as a certain geometrical angle. We use these results to compute the energy of a spinning string. We also show that the symmetries that determine the dispersion relation and that constrain the S-matrix are the same in the gauge theory and the string theory. We compute the overall S-matrix at large \'t Hooft coupling using the string description and we find that it agrees with an earlier conjecture. We also find an infinite number of two magnon bound states at strong coupling, while at weak coupling this number is finite.

Hot on the heels of hosting The Bug and Manga, Echo Chamber Sound hosts another top quality producer, the one and only Sekkleman from Moonshine Recordings.
Sekkleman plays and creates dub music. Influenced by the far reaching sounds of dub, from roots to heavy steppas to jungle to dub techno, expect to hear plenty of bass, rhythm and space. Having linked up with Moonshine Recordings for the Lightman 12" release earlier this year and some forthcoming material, his sets include many new sounds, classics and dubplates.
This time time around we are running things slightly differently mashing up of ragga, dubwise and the raw energy of ragga jungle on the Echo Chamber Sound System.
Bring your dancing shoes and get ready to shock out an' brock out.

Mammoth, AZ – Pinal Rural Fire Rescue is proud to announce they are the recipient of a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) of $114,492 for personal protective equipment, a thermal imaging camera and extrication rescue equipment.
After many months of waiting, PRFR was advised today that their application for a FEMA AFG grant is approved. These are highly competitive national level grants, so PRFR feels honored to be one of a select few hundred departments that will receive a grant this year.
As a new department, this will bring us a long way toward getting the kind of equipment we need to better serve our 911 area.
The funds are to purchase twelve (12) state of the art self-contained breathing apparatus that have lightweight carbon fiber tanks, which reduces the burden of additional weight on firefighters as compared to the older style steel tanks. These SCBAs are rated for CBRNE, which means they can be used in highly dangerous and unpredictable emergency conditions.
They also have a "heads-up display" in the mask so firefighters can keep track of the air they have used, as well as an integrated PASS device which rings a very loud alarm when a firefighter goes down to help other firefighters to find him quickly.
PRFR will also be purchasing a thermal imaging camera to detect hotspots during initial fire attack or during overhaul after a fire to ensure that the fire is completely out. These cameras are also used to find people trapped in a fire during the initial search as well as to search for firefighters should they go down during a fire.
Thermal imaging cameras also help to look for victims in the dark that are ejected from a vehicle in a crash, or to find people during search and rescue.
The grant funds will also purchase state of the art extrication equipment that is able to cut even the newest exotic metal alloys manufactured in the newer cars built today.
These new alloys make your cars safer, but create challenges to rescuers when performing rescue at a motor vehicle accident, which can cause delays getting a victim out utilizing older extrication equipment.
All this means that Pinal Rural Fire Rescue will now be able protect its subscribers and visitors exponentially better in our 911-service area, to better protect our firefighters, and speed up the time it takes to get someone out of a motor vehicle involved in an accident.

Vitamin D - The Superstar Supplement
You may remember the public health slogan, "Vitamin D helps build strong bones". This message could be seen on colorful school posters and heard on radio and television programs as early as the1950s. Getting enough Vitamin D was a major health issue, primarily for its role in preventing childhood rickets - "softening of the bones".1

Developing osteoporosis is a frightening prospect for many older people. If a person with osteoporosis falls and fractures a hip, the recovery may be slow and prolonged and the person may never be the same. Also, hip fractures in the older population may often be fatal, the person dying from a blood clot that made its way to the lungs or a major blood vessel in the brain.

Social@Ogilvy Gets a New Global Chief
Ex-journalist Thomas Crampton takes the job
Ogilvy & Mather has filled the top slot at its social media practice with a regional leader and former journalist.
Thomas Crampton, who has run the Asia-Pacific region of Social@Ogilvy, is now global managing director of the unit. In his new role, he succeeds John Bell, who left last month to become vp of enterprise digital marketing at Travelers Insurance.
Before joining Ogilvy in 2009, Crampton was a correspondent for newspapers such as the International Herald Tribune and The New York Times. His journalism career lasted 20 years.
Crampton continues to keep a blog and speaks regularly at conferences such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Le Web in Paris, DLD in Munich and, naturally, the Cannes Lions festival in Cannes.
As head of Social@Ogilvy, Crampton will oversee some 740 staffers in 35 markets. The global unit generates more than $100 million in revenue annually.
"Social selling, social shopping, social brand development and social influence will continue to be major growth drivers and an essential part of Ogilvy's integrated approach," said Ogilvy global CEO Miles Young.
Crampton will remain in Hong Kong and report to both chief digital officer Brandon Berger and Christopher Graves, global CEO of Ogilvy Public Relations. Ogilvy has yet to fill Crampton's previous regional director job.
