Ottawa, which never has advanced past the Eastern Conference semifinals, leads the East with 98 points, which is three in front of Dallas in the race for the Presidents’ Trophy.
The Senators are 13-5-1 in their last 19 games and can become the first team to 100 points. They had a season-high five-game winning streak snapped with a 5-2 home loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Detroit is 14-1-0-1 in its last 16 games and leads St. Louis by five points in the Central Division. The Red Wings also trail Dallas by one point for first place in the Western Conference and hold a one-point edge over Vancouver.
Detroit extended its home winning streak to seven games with Saturday’s 5-3 victory over rival Colorado. Brett Hull scored his 709th goal, moving past Mike Gartner into fifth place on the all-time list.
The Senators took the first meeting, posting a 5-2 home win on November 2 as they beat their former playoff nemesis - Curtis Joseph - with five goals on 34 shots.
The Red Wings have won the last two meetings in Detroit since a 2-0 loss on January 2, 1999.

Chipotle will be delivering food like never before— in the air. Drones will bring burritos from the Tex Mex chain to a small group of students and employees on Virginia Tech’s campus.
The University is conducting the test with Project Wing, a unit of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. The testing will begin this month and only last a few weeks. Navigational accuracy and people’s response will be examined from a food truck, reported Bloomberg.
“This is the most complex delivery flight operation that I am aware of that’s occurred on U.S. soil,” said Mark Blanks, the partnership director.
Drone delivery service has been making headlines recently with companies jumping on board with the idea including Amazon.com Inc.

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show “Drunk History” from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.
CHICAGO – “Cars 2” is an unequal Pixar blend for adults and kiddies that never evolves into the storytelling success of its predecessor. The film, which draws thematic elements from “The Bourne Identity,” “Beverly Hillbillies” and “Transformers,” is a Honda needing a body shop as compared to the pristine Ferrari that was “Cars”.
CHICAGO – Baseball is a game made for the romantic hyperbole of otherwise stoic men. The appreciation of the game is often passed from Dad to son, so just in time for Father’s Day along comes two great baseball films, the Billy Crystal directed “61*” and the “When it Was a Game” collection.
CHICAGO – Da Super Fans were out in force on a spectacular Saturday night at the Park West in Chicago, as the TBS Network’s “Just for Laughs” Festival presented “Da Bears Movie Dat Wasn’t.” George Wendt, Joe Mantegna, Horatio Sanz and Da Coach, Mike Ditka, provided the hilarity.
CHICAGO – I am an unabashed defender of nearly everything that David Mamet has ever made and the arrival of another one of his films under the Criterion banner makes for a special occasion in this critic’s household. The new release of Mamet’s “Homicide” (1991) is a must-own for fans of one of the most important playwrights of the last fifty years and an underrated filmmaker as well.
CHICAGO – Chiwetel Ejiofor (pronounced choo-ih-tell edge-o-for) has been a stalwart film actor ever since his dramatic debut in Steven Spielberg’s “Amistad”. Since then, he has been a go-to character actor for directors as diverse as Spike Lee, Woody Allen and Stephen Frears.

BROOKLYN - The man accused of fatally shooting a 1-year-old boy in Brownsville appeared in court Friday.
According to police, Daquan Breland shot Antiq Hennis in the head while his father pushed him across the street in a stroller, exactly 11 months ago. They say Breland was handed a gun to shoot the little boy's father, Anthony Hennis, but instead the bullet hit his son.
In an interview with the Daily News, Breland reportedly expressed guilt, saying he never meant to hurt a child. However, he previously showed little emotion in court when he entered a not guilty plea.

Breland is charged with second-degree murder. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison.

Detroit Pistons rookie guard Jaden Ivey is already turning heads in the preseason. Earlier this month, despite the Pistons losing their preseason road opener against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden 117-96. Ivey’s game stood out as he scored 16 points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal and no turnovers in the loss.
He shot the ball effectively 6-on-9 from the field, made all his free throws, and connected on his single three-pointer, and according to Tony Jones of The Athletic, he is going to be a star.
Meanwhile, DP_NFL who is a National Scout for The Draft Network believes Ivey can help maximize Cade Cunningham on the offensive end.
“Jaden Ivey can help maximize Cade Cunningham on offense. Not only will he push the ball on the break, but handing the ball allowing cade to play off the ball. Spot up 3s, back door cuts, feed the post vs smaller guards!”
Speaking of Cunningham, “I can play off the ball or on the ball,” said Ivey. “I feel like I could complement Cade a little bit with his ability to score the ball. And just read how the offense is going. I’m a baller, if you need me on the ball or off the ball, whatever you need me to do to help the team win, I can do.”
Adding, “I feel that brotherly love,” Ivey said. “I feel like me, and Cade kind of have similar minds.”
According to Mirin Fader from The Ringer, Cade Cunningham has taken Jaden Ivey under his wing, hoping to create a successful partnership that will last for years to come.
“Everything you were doing in college, the player you are today, is going to be just fine,” Cunningham told Ivey. “It’s going to translate.”
“You can really put any group together out on the court, and I feel like it’ll be five guys that mess with each other off the court, and that are really cool and care about each other. You don’t find that all the time,” Cunningham added.
Pistons coach Dwane Casey shared that Ivey’s ability to draw fouls is “Huge.”
“With his speed, he’s going to get there. What he’s got to do now is recognize gaps – how quickly those gaps close up, how long guys are. They close up a lot quicker now than they did in college.”
Ivey is slated as a +700 to win this year’s Rookie of the Year, according to Oddseeker.
Pistons will start the regular season at home against the Orlando Magic.

The Montgomery Town Board approved its 2022 spending plan last month with a 4-1 vote, as Town Supervisor Brian Maher was the only dissenter.
“I am voting ‘no’ because I do not support a 10 percent raise for me. I am very happy with the pay that I get right now,” Maher said.
The budget includes a 10 percent raise for the supervisor, who is due to collect a salary of $79,514.60, up from the $72,000 he is currently receiving.
“I understand what the town board did, they’re not thinking of me they’re thinking of the position,” Maher said, adding that he knew the salary when he first ran for the job two years ago. He was just re-elected to his second term last month.
During the budget discussions, Deputy Supervisor Ronald Feller said he had done research, noting that the average salary of supervisors in neighboring towns was about $109,000, compared with $72,000 in Montgomery, and he proposed an increase to about $90,000.
Councilwoman Kristen Brown countered with a plan for an incremental increase of about 10 percent each year for the next three years, which translated into an increase of the supervisor’s salary to $79,514 in the budget for next year.
The budget also provides salaries of $19,950 for the deputy supervisor and $16,800 for each of the three remaining council members. Those are all part-time positions. Two town justices will receive $29,243.76 each, while the town clerk will receive $79,331.62 and the Highway Superintendent is due to collect $89,250.
The total town budget for next year is $13,814,384.90. Maher said the budget will result in 0.5 percent decreases for the “A” fund ($9.4 million), which includes taxes assessed to residents of the three villages; the “B” fund ($4.9 million) which is assessed only to residents living outside the three villages and the highway fund ($2.9 million).
“I thank you all for your hard work,” Maher said, addressing the board.
Brown, who did join the other council members in voting yes, did express one concern.
“I would like to see the ambulance corps increased by $50,000,” she said.
The Town of Montgomery Volunteer Ambulance Corps is currently budgeted to receive $150,000.

A new club at Linn-Benton Community College is trying to change debating as a means of winning toward a new goal: debating as a means to understand.
Mark Urista, department chairman for the college's communications department, is the faculty adviser for the new Civil Discourse Club, which formed last month. Its mission: "to promote dialogue that enhances understanding among individuals with diverse viewpoints in an open and respectful environment."
"Clearly, we are in a polarized environment right now," Urista said. "Students who have joined the club all come from different backgrounds, different political affiliations, different ideologies, but they truly want to understand why different people think the way they do."
Urista said he asked the students why they didn't simply ask people with different viewpoints to explain their perspectives.
"The dominant theme I found is that people are scared," he said: of being attacked, persecuted, or "having some ugly stereotype applied to them."
Instead, he said, people find themselves self-censoring their discussions.
"Our club wants to find a way to break through that," he said, "and find a way to get people talking with one another."
The club's founding comes at a time when LBCC is taking a critical look at its free expression policies and reformatting them in a manner that administrators hope will make them more accessible and understandable.
Urista is part of the task force working on updating the rules for time, place and manner of free expression and said he believes the college is on the right track with what it's done so far.
"We easily can cite the law on free speech, but what we want to focus on is the value that (speech) brings to the learning process on a college campus," he said. "We honestly believe that by protecting freedom of expression, that allows people to not only hear ideas that they may not be comfortable with, but also will help them find a way to properly respond to those ideas."
In November, the college's Board of Education unanimously approved updated language for the overall freedom of expression policy, affirming the college's "deep commitment to free expression."
Through the policy, the board directed the president to establish "content-neutral administrative rules, codes of conduct and procedures and practices to establish allowable time, place and manner of free expression that supports the mission and the learning activities of the college."
Work on those rules is ongoing through the free expression team, of which Urista is a part, said Bruce Clemetsen, vice president of student affairs. Once it's complete, the college council, a representative group that includes employees and students, will consider it for recommendation to President Greg Hamann at its next meeting, Jan. 10.
The updated rules will mean old practices will be absorbed or eliminated, Clemetsen said, but those won't be final until the new rules are decided.
Urista's club likely will be working under those rules when it gets going as more of a formal entity. The group came together so fast last month it didn't have time to hammer out some specific details, Urista said, such as when and where and how often it will meet.
Half a dozen active members did manage to put together the first Civil Discourse Debate, however. On Nov. 21, four students debated whether it was appropriate for the college to display sexually explicit artwork in its North Santiam gallery earlier this fall.
Two students took one side and two students the other, Urista said. True to the club's mission, they did not debate to win, but to share and explore differing perspectives.
“Here’s the cool part: The students clearly had different perspective about the artwork, but in the process of preparing this debate, they became genuine friends," Urista said.
The club is looking for many more members to join: as many different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities and perspectives as possible, Urista said. Both introverts and extroverts are sought.
Information is available on the club section of the college's website, www.linnbenton.edu, and on a Facebook page called LBCC Civil Discourse.
During winter term, which starts in January, Urista said the club wants to create a "Democracy Wall," something his communications colleague Hailey Goplen did while teaching at North Dakota State University.
The idea is to set up a wall of some sort — white board, bulletin board, or the like — where questions can be posed and people can answer them. The questions could include, what does civil discourse mean to you? What are some of the opportunities and challenges we face when we engage in it? What topics would you like to have civil discourse about?
"I think it would be fascinating to see what fellow students at LBCC would write in response to the questions on this wall," Urista said.
He also hopes to set up more debates, at least one per term.
In fact, he said, that's how the club came about: students in his fall term Argument and Critical Discourse class asked to form a speech and debate club. But when Urista asked them about what they wanted, and shared his own contrasting college experiences about debating to understand versus debating to win, the students overwhelmingly opted for the former.
Urista said the club's mission makes him think of an incident a few years ago in which a young Philomath soldier, Cody Patterson, was killed while on a mission in Afghanistan. Rumor had it members of the Westboro Baptist Church, a controversial ultraconservative organization, planned to protest at his memorial service. Although it never materialized, hundreds of people turned out to counter that expected protest.
"I saw how our entire community came together in order to respond to that ugliness. That gave me a lot of hope," Urista said. "And I have confidence that our community would be able to come together if anything like that were to ever happen again.
"This is exactly what people should be doing in college," he went on. "We live in a world where people say things we don’t like, but freedom of expression is a fundamental principle in a pluralistic democracy. So we need to see how to respond while respecting that fundamental principle."

Liverpool have kept Virgil van Dijk in their Champions League squad for the remainder of this season, raising hopes that he could make a "miracle" return from injury.
The Dutchman and his fellow central defender Joe Gomez are both included in the Reds' squad, with Gomez having played in Liverpool's first three Champions League matches this season before sustaining a serious knee injury.
The England international has been out since November, while Van Dijk has been missing since suffering his own knee injury at Everton on October 17 last year.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Jurgen Klopp downplayed hopes that Van Dijk would be able to return this season, saying that he would be added to the squad in the hope of a best case scenario.
"No doctor told me there is a chance for Virgil to play in this season again," he said.
"I don’t want to say that is absolutely impossible but it is not likely. It is not likely so we don’t have to discuss these things really.
"But if they (Van Dijk and Gomez) are on the list then it is only because we hope for nearly a miracle.”
With that in mind it is intriguing to see that Liverpool have gone to the effort of removing Joel Matip from the list, as per the UEFA website, after he was ruled out for the rest of the season on Monday.
Takumi Minamino is another who has been removed, with the Japanese international joining Southampton on loan.
Three players have been added to the group by Liverpool, with new signings Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak joining fellow centre-back Nat Phillips, who wasn't registered for the group stages.


Interesting to wake up to the news this morning about twitter, footballers and so called models!
The rumours have been circulating for a month or two now related to these so called ‘gagging orders’. So some newspapers and channels are reporting a certain premiership footballer will be suing twitter after his ‘confidential’ extra curricular activities were revealed in a tweet. The first thing I thought was that he wouldn’t be able to as twitter is based in silicon valley so probably has different privacy and libel laws which does seem to be the case. Here is the article in the guardian about it:
It does raise some interesting questions especially with many organisations, businesses and education establishments banging on about the dangers of social networking especially related to the media.
It made me think with footballers recently getting into trouble for tweeting their thoughts to the world does this happen to teachers or students or will this happen to them in the future? Have any of your students got into hot water for something they have tweeted? Have any teachers or staff you work with got into any trouble? Is it enough to write a disclaimer on your profile that these are the views of myself and not my employer? Is that enough? It seems some of the rules and regulations may need to be updated within the legal system to address this. What do you think?


This is another Paula song that I downloaded for free from when Apple was giving away music, but I've grown to love Ms. Sande's singing. In this case, this is a song from a woman who knows that her man will be at her side no matter what. I always worked to live up to that kind of standard....
(Supposedly Taylor Swift wrote a song that sounds a lot like the beat of this one. Shame on her.)

KOKOMO, Ind. – Kokomo Municipal Stadium, outfitted with a temporary 250-foot fence, played host to the inaugural Armed Forces Home Run Derby. The event featured many active duty, along with some military veterans, in an event that culminated with a walk-off derby winning swing.
Round one featured 19 hitters who represented the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines with the top eight advancing to round two. The USAF squad consisted of members of the 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom (home runs in parenthesis): Kokomo native Major Timothy McBee (1), Major Joel Nickelson (5), MSgt Tim Holmgren (6), first round leader TSgt Cory Beck (8) and SrA Christopher Cockle (4). The Army team included SSG Brenton Couch (0), SFC Derek Wood (3), SFC Ryan George (0) and SSG Anthony Waters (2). In the Navy squad were PO2 Quenten Easter (1), PO1 Cris Roush (4), CPO Nick Davis (2), CPO Steven Brewer (5) and Sgt Frances Freeman (1). And the Marines included Sgt Kaleb Middleton (5), GySgt Matthew Cotterman (4), SSgt William Porter (2), GySgt Nathan BoyChuck (1) and SSgt Tyler Love (0).
Round two saw CPO Brewer lead the way with seven dingers with Major Nickelson (6) and GySgt Cotterman (5) advancing to round three. The fourth spot saw Sgt Middleton edge PO1 Roush in overtime (1-0) after both hit four during the regular round.
Round three was sensational as CPO Brewer nearly had a perfect round, hitting nine of his 10 pitches for home runs. Major Nickelson and Sgt Middleton tied at six in regulation, with Nickelson earning a spot in the finals with a 4-2 overtime total; GySgt Cotterman finished fourth after hitting four dingers.
In the finals, Major Nickelson represented the Air Force well with seven home runs to lead off the round. CPO Brewer followed by hitting seven of the first nine over the fence before walking-off with the trophy by crushing his 10th pitch for the victory. Brewer took home a two-foot tall trophy; and, maybe more importantly, bragging rights for the U.S. Navy in the win.
The Sports Journal of Central Indiana was a proud sponsor of the Armed Forces Home Run Derby, along with the Shelter Insurance-LeAnn Devine Agency and Rock 98.5. Devine and Jessica Green of Z92.5 organized the fundraising event for local military organizations.

State public health officials announced their public health guidance last week for the 2022-2023 K-12 school year with no mask requirement for students or staff.
The guidance, which officially went into effect Friday, includes recommendations that students get vaccinated against COVID-19 and wear a mask indoors but does not require that they do either.
California students will not be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine until at least July 1, 2023, provided that the vaccine is fully approved by federal regulators for all age groups. The guidance also requires that students cannot be prevented from wearing a mask as a condition for participating in a school event or activity.
Teachers and school staff are also not required to wear a mask, but the state has required them since August 2021 to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or test weekly for the virus.
“COVID-19 is here to stay, but we have learned methods and gained tools to decrease its impact on our health and well-being,” the CDPH said in a statement on the guidelines. “California’s schools can manage this disease in sustainable and adaptive manners.”
Rapid antigen tests should be considered the primary testing option for schools over PCR tests, according to the CDPH. Students and staff are also advised to test for the virus before returning from summer, winter and spring breaks.
Schools will be required to provide paid COVID sick leave through at least Sept. 30, 2022. Students who test positive are also advised to stay home from school for at least five days and wear a mask around others for at least 10 days.
The state’s full health guidance for K-12 schools can be found at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/K-12-Guidance-2022-23-School-Year.aspx.

It represents a simpler time and lifestyle. Problems no matter how personal or difficult they may seem, always worked out during that 30 minutes. It was a time when family meant something. Generations went to church together. Friends stuck together. Think about how many times Andy covered for Barney’s mistakes and never said a word or brought them up later to throw in his face. Remember how many times Otis, Goomer and Floyd were willing to step up and be deputies when a friend was in need. Andy and Opie had just about the perfect father/child relationship. They talked things out and trusted each other. Even as aggravating and hard to get along with as Mayor Pike and Ben Weaver could be, Andy always kept the peace and worked things out.
I think the show still has so much appeal, because it represents, in my opinion, the way that we want life to be. We want to know that everything is going to be alright. We want to believe that people are going to get along and will walk the streets of the town in harmony. Deep down, we want to know that others care for us and will be there for us in our times of need. Yes, I believe we see something in Mayberry that we want in our lives. We want to live in a place like that.
I have good news for you; there is a better place than that to live! God is preparing a place for those that love and trust Him, a place of pure perfection, and a place that sin has not stained. It is a place that does not have a single lock or burglar alarm. Revelation 7:16 “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore: neither shall the sun beat down on them, nor any heat.” Revelation 21:21 “And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.” Ezekiel 1: 28 “As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance.” Revelation 4:6 “and before the throne there was, as it were a sea of glass like crystal…” Now I cannot include all of the descriptions of heaven in this column, but I will share my favorite with you. Revelation 21:3-4, “And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death, there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying or pain; the first things have passed away.”
The good news is that God is preparing the perfect place for those that have repented of their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It is heaven. I hope to see you there.

While Rob Zombie is due for a new album, his 2013 release, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor is among his best work yet. This album has more energy than a what was on some of his other releases.
Rob Zombie breaks a mold with this one, because its a metal album with some techno vibes to it. You hear this greatly on "Hellbilly Deluxe", and it works wonders for him.
Other stand out traks include "Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown", and "Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga."
"Dead City Radio And The New Gods Of Supertown" was clearly written while Rob Zombie was living life to the fullest and loving it. That makes it even more enjoyable to listen to. Whenever you can tell someone was genuinely into what they were singing, it just heightens the power of the music.
"Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga." is one of those songs that only gets better with each listen. It definitely reminds you why he's good at what he does. It shows his talents off wonderfully, and you just have to love it.
This album is highly worth your time, so if you haven't listened to it yet -what are you waiting for? You can get it wherever music is sold
All reviews have the date they were written, the album title, and the band's name, with the exception of Life Starts Now by Three Days Grace and Dear Agony by Breaking Benjamin. Those dates were guessed at, as they were written well before the website began.

Genetic testing has been done, and according to Russia, Yevgeny Prigozhin has already passed away
Russia Wagner; Yevgeny Prigozhin;
The investigation committee announced that the identities of the ten victims had been identified and the names matched those on the flight’s passenger list.
Genetic analysis of the bodies found at the crash site confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner Group, also died in Wednesday’s plane crash, the Anadolu news agency reported. BBC According to what Russian officials announced Sunday.
The investigative committee said so
On Wednesday evening, we reported that ten people were killed when a private plane crashed near the village of Kuzenkino, northwest of Moscow. Among others, Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and Wagner co-founder Dmitry Utkin were on the passenger list. Seven passengers and three crew members were on board the flight from Moscow to St Petersburg. It is understood that the Embraer Legacy plane owned by MNT-Aero crashed in the Tver region north of Moscow and spent less than half an hour in the air. According to a person at FlightRadar24, a service that tracks international air traffic, it all happened so quickly because the pilots didn’t report any problems.
The first foreign reactions questioned Putin’s retaliation behind what happened, while the Kremlin denied assumptions that he was responsible for the air disaster.

The results are published as a research letter in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Effects of the Pandemic
"We've had anecdotal information about people buying and consuming more alcohol, but this is some of the first survey-based information that shows how much alcohol consumption has increased during the pandemic," said Michael Pollard, lead author of the study and a sociologist at RAND, a nonprofit research organization.
"Alcohol consumption can have significant negative health consequences, so this information suggests another way that the pandemic may be affecting the physical and mental health of Americans," Pollard said.
Be Aware of the Risks
Researchers say that the alcohol spike seen among women, younger adults and non-Hispanic White individuals highlights the need for primary care providers, behavioral health providers and family members to be aware of the risks of increased alcohol use and heavy drinking during the pandemic.
The findings also suggests that future research should examine whether increases in alcohol use persist as the pandemic continues, and whether psychological and physical well-being are subsequently affected.
The study is based on a survey of 1,540 adults who are members of the RAND American Life Panel, a nationally representative internet panel. Participants were surveyed about their alcohol consumption during the Spring of 2019 and again in Spring 2020 during the early months of the pandemic shutdown.

Not the hen. The town. It is the name of the town in which Mr. J.D. Salinger lived for most of his life. I had no idea it was an artist colony? Maxfield Parrish lived there for a time. Sigh. Cornish. Hmm.
