SPARKS, NV - Sparks police are looking for a man who tied up a man in a warehouse, then stole his cellphone and car.
Police responded about 5:30PM Thursday, August 28, 2014 to a report of an armed robbery in the 1800 block of Brierley Way. Officers found the victim bound inside the warehouse there. The victim says the robber had entered the warehouse and used a handgun to hold the victim at gunpoint. The robber took the victim's vehicle and cell phone, both recovered later in Reno.
The victim says the robber is a white man 25-30 years old, about 6'1" and thin, wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants with black shoes. He may wear prescription glasses, and he had wrapped his face in a roll of gauze.
Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to call the Sparks Police Department at (775) 353-2231 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900. Secret Witness is offering a $1500 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution.

GE has partnered with laser cutting systems maker Synova and laser machining platform company Makino Milling Machine, whose Laser MicroJet technology will be used by GE in developing a manufacturing machine that will produce gas turbine parts.
Related: Synova, Makino partner for laser microjet technology
The new machine reportedly will reduce the time required to produce cooling holes in turbomachinery components. Moreover, this machine will enable further development of GE's cooling technologies to improve gas turbine performance and extend parts life for customers.
This manufacturing technology is being utilized for the company's latest advanced gas turbines, as well as its aircraft engine production process. Some turbomachinery components, such as those in the hot gas path, are exposed to temperatures of more than 2400°F, requiring the use of special materials such as thermal barrier coatings.
The new machine provides precise through-hole drilling in these materials, which plays a critical role in providing cool airflow to components. Laser MicroJet technology combines the advantages of water and laser cutting into one operation. The laser beam is entirely contained within the water jet as a parallel beam, similar in principle to the optical fiber. This facilitates accurate cutting of porous or layered materials with minimal thermal and structural distortion.
Combining Makino's high-precision machine technology and GE's fine-hole drilling software, this new technology provides efficient hole drilling. In June 2014, the company broke ground on its first-ever Power & Water Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Greenville, SC, which will serve as an incubator for innovative advanced manufacturing process development and rapid prototyping. It will allow the company to bring breakthrough technologies to market even faster, driving technical innovation and ultimately greater productivity at a lower cost and greater reliability for customers.

The first official image of Anne Hathaway as Chris Nolan’s Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises strips Selina Kyle of her cat ears! Looks like this cat burglar is a lot more tech-nerd and a lot less kitten-with-a-whip.
A few months back an inside source let it slip that Selina (who may or may not go full Catwoman in this feature) would look a lot less sexy and a lot more “tactical” in this movie. And they weren’t kidding. She looks like a sexy android with a bouffant.
No time for kitten claws, but still time for red lipstick? Ah well, she still looks pretty bad ass, and it goes without saying, we trust Nolan when it comes to Batman movies.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – The Earlham College men's cross country team won its second consecutive meet on Saturday as the Quakers claimed the top spot at the Wittenberg University Invitational.
Earlham finished with 31 team points to clear second-place Denison University by 14 points. Host Wittenberg finished third with 67 points.
"Today was a great win for our team against a field we were eager to prove we could race with," co-head men's cross country coach Rob Hewitt said. "We got into position early and continued to push throughout the entire race."
Senior Gabriel Penk finished second place in the five-kilometer race with a time of 16:14.5, just two tenths of a second behind Charles Rodeheffer of Wittenberg. After Emmanuel Birgens of Central State University took third, the Quakers' freshmen duo of Nate Papachristos and Noah Scherf crossed the finish line. Papachristos finished his first collegiate five-kilometer race in 16:45.8 while Scherf had a time of 16:50.5.
"Gabe [Penk]'s effort set the tone up front, and the rest of the guys reacted well to his lead," Hewitt continued. "Noah Scherf made a big stride forward to really strengthen the middle of our lineup."
Earlham has a week off before traveling to Purdue University for the Indiana Intercollegiate Meet on Friday, Sept. 15.


Parking problems stymie downtown businesses
Lack of parking spots for customers is causing problems for businesses in downtown Fond du Lac.
Meanwhile, the parking situation throughout the downtown is costing the city more money to operate than the revenue it provides.
The parking problems come on the heels of efforts to revitalize and attract businesses to downtown Fond du Lac.
Tom Deitte, owner of Edith’s of Fond du Lac and Edith’s Tuxedo Junction on South Main Street, said employees working along the downtown strip are taking up prime spots.
“I want those spots for my customers,” Deitte told members of the city council.
Sharon Malchow, who operates St. Joseph’s Book Room on Main Street, rents two apartments above the store and provides off-street parking permits to the tenants. Customers tell her they have had to walk blocks because they couldn't find parking nearby.
“We are totally against store merchants and rental people taking up customer parking,” she told the council. “It’s important in a downtown corridor to keep it open.”
On Main Street downtown there is two-hour, no-metered parking, but there is no enforcement of that time limit. Perhaps adding to the problem is that the city's parking enforcement officer position is currently unfilled.
City Council Member Catherine Block believes lack of parking enforcement is the problem.
A recent survey of downtown business owners by the Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership indicates that about 40 percent of respondents believe parking is a major challenge downtown. But they are less harsh about the two-hour limit; only 28 percent say the limit isn’t working.
On average, 40 percent of city-owned parking stalls are being used at any given time. The Macy Street parking ramp is full, yet some of the lots a block or two off Main Street are nearly empty, according to the survey.
And only half the permitted parking spots available in the downtown area are being used, according to the survey. Permit fees range from $10 to $30 a month, based on demand.
Downtown has 800 metered parking spaces (out of 2,000 throughout the city) intended for customer use. The meters range from 30-minute to four-hour parking. Cost is 50 cents per hour 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Evenings and weekends are free.
City Council member Brian Kolstad pointed out that parking scenarios could range from getting rid of meters to increasing fees.
City Manager Joe Moore said he believes most downtown employees are already parking in lots, and even if meters were eliminated, there still needs to be enforcement of the two-hour limit.
Fond du Lac increases fees for frequent offenders, with parking fines starting at $10 and going as high as $50 for a third offense.
“If it is free there is no movement, no turnover," Moore said. "What happens to the value of a permit if it is next to a free spot?"
The possibility of getting a parking ticket can discourage people from visiting downtown altogether, Kolstad said, especially those who plan to be shopping more than two hours. He said it has discouraged him at times.
Council member Kay Miller said a fix is needed for the good of downtown.
“We need to figure out what the downtown is supposed to look like and what the future and vision of downtown is supposed to be,” Miller said.

$3,000 given in honor of Rams’ champion diver Christopher Jackson.
PANAMA CITY — It all started with some change.
Literal change — dimes, nickels, the occasional dollar — was brought in by children enrolled in Bay District Schools’ After School Assistance Program (ASAP) to help board member Cherri Boyle’s family after her son, Christopher Jackson, died in March.
Jackson was a 2013 Rutherford High School graduate and a diving star, winning the Class 2A state meet his senior year. He wanted to dive for the Navy and attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, as well as Gulf Coast State College and Asheville-Buncombe Community College. Those plans were canceled by his death in March in Asheville, N.C. He was 21.
Terri Gainer, a leader at ASAP, said the children wanted to do something special for Boyle, who often worked with them after school. So they started bringing in their change, amassing about $45 in a few days, until Gainer put their plans on Facebook and their efforts took off.
“We put it on Facebook and everyone started matching it,” she said. “The kids even brought in about $200 themselves.”
As a culmination of their efforts, ASAP students and leaders presented the Bay Education Foundation with a $3,000 check Tuesday to start the Christopher Jackson Memorial Scholarship in Jackson’s honor. According to Janet Kessler, who will lead the foundation as its new executive director, the money will be held by the Bay Education Foundation and distributed to graduating seniors by next year.
“We’re going to come up with how we’re going to spread the money around to as many kids as we can in Christopher’s honor,” she said.
Boyle thanked the students for their contributions and giving what little extra money they had to the scholarship, saying their efforts made her feel “unbelievably fantastic.” The scholarship, she said, will be a great way to keep Jackson’s memory alive.
“When you can give a student a check in your son’s name every year and every year you get to say his name out loud and talk about him, it’s a great day,” she said.

No Evidence WikiLeaks Disclosed Names of Afghan Informants
Following up on Monday’s post about WikiLeaks, today I address the moral correctness of the organization. There is no evidence that WikiLeaks disclosed the names of Afghan informants; there is inductive evidence that suggests they didn't.
WikiLeaks clearly acted in violation of U.S. law, law which, in light of the Washington Post’s feature on the bloated and overly secretive intelligence culture, does not seem entirely virtuous. So, an important moral question, which most news organizations (in their myopic defense of the rule of law) stop short of asking is: Did WikiLeaks bring net good or net harm to the world by releasing the secret documents? And more generally: Is Wikileaks a net gain or a net loss for justice in the world?
The second question is most effectively answered by responding to the first, by looking at the concrete consequences of WikiLeak’s actions. If we do this, it is impossible to conclude that WikiLeaks has performed an injustice by releasing these Afghan war logs.
Firstly, the U.S. government has alleged WikiLeaks released the identities of Afghans serving the U.S. as informants against the Taliban. Absent this allegation, no case has been made that WikiLeaks caused any demonstrable harm. The U.S., to its credit, has said it has a “moral responsibility” to protect those informants. If it is fulfilling that obligation, those informants, on whom there is evidently very precise data, are already out of Afghanistan or in protective custody. That no evidence has come forward proving the government’s allegation is highly suspicious. I’m not a lawyer, but presumably it would be easy enough to present the evidence to a judge, the judge would confirm the presence of the informants’ names without disclosing them, and the government will have won the propaganda war against WikiLeaks. To date, there have been no reports of attacks or reprisals in Afghanistan based on information released by WikiLeaks.
Unfortunately, the government has phrased its “moral responsibility” in a way that claims the moral high ground while implying that WikiLeaks is a band of firebrand anarchists (which they are) and idiots lacking a moral sense (which they are not). “Do the right thing,” said the spider to the fly. Let’s recall Max Weber’s definition of the sovereign: that entity which has a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence.
WikiLeak’s decision to withhold 15,000 documents from their purge because they did not want to release sensitive information prematurely, that is, before the sensitive information could be blotted out, makes its intentions seem more consistent with the possibility that it did not release the names of Afghan informants.
Delay, deny and deflect were the strategies Facebook has used to navigate scandals it's faced in recent years, according to the New York Times.
- The exhaustive report is based on interviews with more than 50 people with ties to the company.
- It outlines how senior executives misled the public and lawmakers in regards to what it had discovered about privacy breaches and Russian interference in U.S. politics.
- On Thursday, Facebook cut ties with one of the companies, Definers Public Relations, listed in the report.
Protected animals are feared to be headed for the black market.
Dogs' floppy ears may be part of why they and other domesticated animals love humans so much.
- Nearly all domestic animals share several key traits in addition to friendliness to humans, traits such as floppy ears, a spotted coat, a shorter snout, and so on.
- Researchers have been puzzled as to why these traits keep showing up in disparate species, even when they aren't being bred for those qualities. This is known as "domestication syndrome."
- Now, researchers are pointing to a group of a cells called neural crest cells as the key to understanding domestication syndrome.

Paris Jackson has been steadily making her way into the circle of Young Hollywood elite and now the only daughter of the late Michael Jackson is gracing the cover of Vogue Australia.
This marks Jackson’s inaugural Vogue debut, but she has been running in many high fashion circles lately, most recently attending the Met Ball back in May.
E! News reports that the cover was shot by legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier and includes an accompanying in-depth interview that was conducted entirely via text message at the teen’s request.
Via E! News:
Editor-in-chief Edwina McCann predicted the teen will become “the breakthrough name of 2017,” and it was actually Paris who suggested a text conversation in lieu of doing a traditional print interview. While it was “something we have never before agreed to at ‘Vogue,’” Edwina admitted, she realized that the medium “seemed appropriate for someone of her generation.”
So, Paris agreed to text with ‘Vogue Australia’s’ creative director at large, Alison Veness.
In the interview, Jackson opens up about what her career focus is at the moment and what she hopes to accomplish as she enters the fashion world:
“I really want to leave a positive imprint in the fashion world, mostly regarding the media and the stereotypical beauty standard that is blasted all over every magazine you see, every article that pops up on your phone screen, every billboard you see while you’re driving down the street,” said Paris, who just booked a Calvin Klein campaign. “I already have many young girls looking up to me and I want to be something their parents are OK with them looking up to.”

"York TM9X furnace & YCJD18 A/C unit"
It's been over 1 year since we had our York furnace & A/C installed. Both are running great. Our contractor, Rodman's Heating, helped select the York equipment that was suited to the size of our house. I can get all the heat or cold I want, and my energy bills are lower than before. The only issue I've had was with the little separate condensate pump, which pushes my condensation up & over to my laundry tub as opposed to straight into my floor drain. Rodman's fixed this right away, though I don't think it's York equipment.

I have had this equipment just a little over a year and have not had any problems outside of just a couple of minor warranty calls. The equipment has performed very well. I have not measured the reduction in energy yet but I am sure there is a benefit.

Do not buy this furnace! I was convinced by a furnace contractor that York furnaces are good. I didn't listen to the bad reviews on this site. What a mistake! This furnace quit after two years. The venter motor seized, leaving my family with a no heat situation in freezing cold weather. What an absolute piece of garbage! How can this company sell such poor quality on the market? Take heed! Avoid York at all costs unless you like never knowing when you are going to be freezing in the middle of winter.

A very quiet running unit on the inside, the outside is a little noisy but that's outside, can't hear it run at all inside.

Had a York furnace and air conditioning unit installed May 2010. First summer all went well. Start of 2011 summer, air conditioning unit would freeze up and shut off. Found out there was a leak in the system. HVAC tech added coolant and back to business for the remainder of year. Start of 2012, everything's fine until came home during hottest part of summer and found water (condensation) pouring down the front of my gas furnace. Called HVAC tech and was told the coil has leak which York is known for having problems with the coil. Added more coolant to finish out summer and had new coil and new air conditioning compressor installed this month (April 2013). Was told parts covered by York under warranty but labor for repairs is on the customer. I paid $6,000 for my new system and here I am covering the labor costs for repairs to be made because of their defective parts. Finally, the housing unit to the air conditioning compressor vibrates when the system shuts off, which all my neighbors get to hear! Nice quiet unit..NOT! Very unsatisfied with this product. Should have researched more instead of taking the word of my HVAC tech that York is a good product.

"Failed less than two years"
After one year of operation the furnace stopped heating. Luckily we were at home and it happened during summer in Seattle. We need to heat the house during night time even in August. I don't want to think what if this happened during winter when we could be away for lengthy period. We called the company that installed it. The technician found a water collector box made from plastic leaking. Since we are over the one year labor warranty, it cost us around 400$. Reading their website, York make the impression that they offer maintenance contract to include parts & labor. I tried to call the number they provide to reach them, 405 3644040, during working hours, there was no response. As the furnace is a complex machine, I wonder how many more bad parts will fail and cost us few more thousands.
Other TM9X Reviews
One person on DIYChatroom commented that the TM9X has an X23 motor which makes this furnace more efficient. In addition the unit has a lower 'fan only' speed that is also an advantage.
York TM9X Model Numbers
The TM9X is available in different models which vary in efficiency and capacity.
|Model Number||AFUE||BTUs per Hour|
The York TM9X carries the following warranty:
- 10 year limited warranty on parts
- Lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger


By noon Friday, the United Way of the CSRA's Stuff the Bus school supply drive had attracted as many people requesting school supplies as those dropping them off.
Vicki Frick said she had so many requests that she made a sign designating the area as a donation point and directing parents who needed supplies to call the school boards in Richmond and Columbia counties, which will distribute the supplies.
"That just goes to show the need is really out there," said Frick, the marketing manager for the United Way. She said last year's campaign brought in nearly $24,000 worth of school supplies.
"We're hoping to exceed that this year," Frick said.
Tables in a room at the Kroc Center Augusta were lined with boxes marked "Richmond," while underneath were just as many boxes labeled "Columbia."
Volunteers moved back and forth between the tables, filling the boxes equally with school supplies that were being brought in by individuals and businesses. Once filled, the boxes were loaded onto school buses to be delivered to the boards of education. The boards will distribute the supplies to schools within their counties, who will then give them to the students who need them.
Margaret Taylor, of the CSRA Credit Union, brought in a donation from her company Friday morning.
With $250 her corporate office donated to the cause, Taylor shopped four or five different stores for supplies.
"I had a budget of how much I could spend, and I went 13 cents over, so I maximized every penny," she said.
The company also offers each employee a service day every year, which allows employees to take off work in order to volunteer. Taylor chose Friday as her service day, so after donating the supplies she spent the day sorting and stacking. She planned to stay until the event was over.
"We brought things last year and they were busy bees in here running around," she said. "I thought this is so fun." Frick said she had more volunteers this year, due in part to nearly 20 volunteers from Hilton hotels. Ten were from the Doubletree.
Jamicka Scott, a bartender and server in the restaurant at the Doubletree, said she was surprised by how many donations the event brought in by lunchtime.
"I didn't know this many people donated as much as they did," she said.
The United Way will conduct a second Stuff the Bus drive at Wal-Mart in Waynesboro on Saturday. All supplies collected will be distributed to children in Burke County.

Among the many forms of gambling, lottery play is the least problematic. Moreover, the social acceptance of lotteries may help explain the low proportion of people seeking treatment. As a result, prevention strategies should consider the specific characteristics of the lottery subtype. The prevalence of pathological gambling is low and treatment programs should be tailored to meet the specific needs of this subtype. The following are some factors to consider when developing prevention programs.
They are a form of hidden tax
Most people are unaware of the fact that the government collects money from lottery players, yet they are paying more in taxes than they actually spend. While most people think of a lottery as a type of consumption tax, this is not a good tax policy. It distorts consumer spending and favors the government’s budget over the consumer’s. Instead, the money raised by the lottery supports government spending.
They are a highly profitable form of gambling
According to a survey of lottery players by GTECH Corporation, which is a major supplier of gaming equipment, lottery participation rates are not much different among race and ethnic groups. Nevertheless, African-Americans report higher lottery participation rates than any other demographic group. Low-income households and those without a high school diploma are the demographic groups with the highest lottery participation rates. Overall, lottery respondents do not have rosy views about the payouts. In fact, the payout rate is roughly 50%.
Strategies to increase your chances of winning
If you have a large amount of money, buying more tickets is a great way to boost your odds of winning the lottery. The only drawback is that you are spending money and the amount of winnings you will receive may not match the amount you spent on tickets. However, this strategy has been successfully tested by an Australian company. If you follow these simple steps, you can increase your chances of winning. If you can’t afford to buy multiple tickets, try buying a set of six or more tickets.
The lottery has its origins in the Netherlands. In the early seventeenth century, lottery games became popular in the Netherlands to raise money for the poor. It was also hailed as a way to tax the people as it was relatively easy to do. The oldest continuously running lottery in the Netherlands was the Staatsloterij. Its name means “fate or chance.”
A multi-jurisdictional lottery is a game where the winner of a jackpot can be from any jurisdiction. There may be a multi-jurisdictional lottery with different names, themes, and odds. The winning amount can be higher or lower depending on the jurisdictions’ laws and payouts. The rules for this type of lottery may differ from state to state, as well as in the prices and methods used to conduct the game. In order to be a multi-jurisdictional lottery, however, a common component must be included.
You can win a prize by matching five numbers from the red balls and the Powerball. This jackpot will pay out a minimum of $4 if you match all five numbers. You can also add up to five extra numbers. The rules of Powerball are simple and easy to understand. When you place a bet, you choose your five numbers and one bonus number, called the Powerball. The game will reveal the winning numbers in ascending order, and you can choose your own numbers or have the terminal pseudo-randomly select yours for you.
If you have been thinking of buying some lottery scratch-off tickets, but are unsure about how to proceed, there are some tips that can help you win. For one, the more tickets you buy, the more likely you are to win. Also, if you purchase a few of the same game, the odds of winning are higher. But if you’ve only played one or two games, you may want to stagger your purchases.
Despite winning a million dollar jackpot on a TV game show, Amanda Clayton is still receiving government aid. She has been a victim of withholding lottery tickets from welfare recipients. Vendors are liable if they fail to sell lottery tickets to these people, who receive government assistance. Amanda Clayton is one of the millions of lottery winners who remains on public assistance, despite winning a million dollar jackpot. Read on to learn more about the consequences of withholding lottery tickets from welfare recipients.

Croatia’s new Foreign Minister has set off for Budapest as the new centre-right government moves to repair its rocky ties with Hungary – burdened by rows over refugees and over INA.
Croatia’s new Foreign Minister, Miro Kovac, has made his first official visit to neighbouring Hungary, with which Croatia has had troubled relations in the recent past.
Ties between the right-wing Hungarian government of Viktor Orban and Croatia’s former centre-left government deteriorated during the recent refugee crisis, after Hungary in October erected a wire fence and closed the border to refugees coming from Croatia.
Another ongoing problem is the arbitration process between the Hungarian energy company MOL and the Croatian state over management rights to the Croatian energy company INA, in which MOL controls just over 49 per cent of the shares.
The new centre-right government, led by Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ, plans to restore once good relations with Hungary.
“With some neighbouring countries – Slovenia, Hungary and Serbia – relations deteriorated due to the refugee crisis. There was a lot of shouting and failures over the past year when the refugee wave reached Croatia,” Kovac said on Tuesday, before departing for Hungary to meet his Hungarian counterpart, Peter Szijjarto.
He said that a priority for the government in Zagreb was to “repair and create stronger relations with our neighbours”.
Dejan Jovic, professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Zagreb, told BIRN that the new government could surely improve the relationship with Hungary.
“There are two components to this. The first is ideological, since both countries now are led by governments from the right,” he opined.
“You can even see the foreign press commenting that Croatia is likely to join the club of so-called ‘illiberal’ democracies of Hungary and Poland,” he added.
Besides the ideological similarity between both governments, especially in terms of resolving the refugee crisis, both countries have similar foreign policy goals, he added.
“Both countries advocate the so called ‘Adriatic-Baltic Vertical”, a branch of which goes through Hungary towards the Black Sea,” he said, adding that all the countries in this region are searching for alternative associations “if things in the EU don’t go well”.
Along with Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Hungary is also a member of the Visegrad group, which advocates joint activities between these countries.
Jovic said that some of these countries are making overtures towards Russia, although not all are united in a common policy on this issue.
While relations with Hungary will probably become better, they will still not be ideal, the professor warned, due to the INA-MOL dispute, “which has created an animosity in the [Croatian] public towards Hungary”, he noted.
During her two-day visit to Hungary last October, Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic, also coming from the HDZ, was a special guest of a Visegrad Group conference.
At the time, she said that “Croatia does not control its borders”, thereby criticizing the way the then centre-left government was managing the refugee situation and lending support to the Hungarian government’s tougher line.

The Montreal Canadiens didn’t get to see Cam Hillis at his full potential last season due to injuries. He is fully healthy and tearing apart the Ontario Hockey League right now.
The Montreal Canadiens have clearly decided it is wise to draft as many players as possible at the last couple of NHL Drafts. Draft picks are like raffle tickets, the more you have the better chance that you will win a prize after a while.
The NHL Draft currently consists of seven rounds. That means, by default every team starts out with seven selections in each draft. Early on in Marc Bergevin’s tenure with the Habs, they didn’t prioritize having a large number of draft picks.
During his first draft with the team in 2012, the Habs made seven selections. The next year they made eight. After that is was just six, then five and then six again. In 2017 they made seven selections, so they traded away as many draft picks as they acquired.
Clearly, over the past two drafts that philosophy has changed. The Canadiens obviously believe that more draft picks, no matter what round, will lead to more prospects that have a chance to play with the Canadiens in the future.
In the 2018 draft, the Habs made 11 selections. The following year saw them take 10 prospects at the draft. That’s 21 players that were added to the prospect pipeline in a span of 366 days. The more darts you throw at a board, the more darts that are going to hit near the bullseye. The more players you draft at the NHL Draft, the more future NHLers you end up with on your team.
Thanks to this strategy of loading up on draft picks, the Habs have one of the best prospect groups in the entire league right now. First round picks like Ryan Poehling, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Cole Caufield are a huge part of that, but deeper picks have helped as well.
One of those deeper picks was Cam Hillis. He was taken in the third round of the 2018 draft by the Habs. He had scored 20 goals and 59 points in 60 games as a 17 year old before the Habs tabbed him as a third rounder at the draft.
Last season was a bit of a disappointment for the Oshawa, Ontario native. It’s not that he played terrible, but his season was marred by injuries. He was held to just 33 games played, few of which he was at 100% and he scored 22 points. He was only able to suit up in two playoff games as the Guelph Storm marched to an OHL Championship.
Hillis is healthy this year and has certainly found his groove with the Storm. Last night, he had two goals and two assists and surpassed his point total from last year in just his 15th game of the season. The Guelph Storm should be rebuilding after winning a championship last year, but Hillis is carrying them into the playoff hunt.
Hillis actually started the year slowly. After missing so much time last year and almost never playing healthy all season, he had just three points in his first seven games this season. Since then, he has been literally unstoppable.
He scored three goals and five points against the Erie Otters on October 18th. Since then, including that game, Hillis has an incredible 21 points in just eight games. That’s an average of 2.625 points per game for Hillis in that stretch.
After a slow start, it looked like Hillis wasn’t going to have much of a year. Now, just a few weeks later he has climbed into the top 20 scorers in the league. Considering how slow he started, we could see him climb even higher in the OHL scoring charts in the coming weeks.
Want your voice heard? Join the A Winning Habit team!Write for us!
Hillis wasn’t a first round pick, nor did he have a tremendous season after being drafted. However, he is proving that the Canadiens strategy of loading up on draft picks the past few years is a wise one. Sometimes, those raffle tickets from a little later in the draft pay off.

Steve Fortune and Kieran Parsons, September 2012


NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — The Bobby Roberts Company has announced the launch of BRC Latin, focusing on exclusive bookings for country music’s hottest Latin artists. Maritza Baca, President of the U.S. Hispanic Country Music Association will head the new division.
“All of us at BRC are excited to expand our company’s roster by adding some great Latin artists as well as a Latin Tour Package for fairs, festivals, casinos and corporate dates,” said Bobby Roberts, CEO, in a statement. “Maritza has the expertise and knowledge to head this new division and we welcome her to our staff of seasoned professionals.”
“Hispanics are loyal Country music fans all across the U.S. as well as in Mexico and Latin America, and we are seeing both American and Hispanic audiences embracing Hispanic performers in Country music,” said Maritza Baca. “BRC Latin will book Hispanic Country artists nationwide, and we will bring opportunities to the most professional artists whose music and talent cross over into both markets.”
BRC Latin's first singings include Nashville Star’s John Arthur Martinez and Melanie Torres along with rising stars Bobby Marquez and Janie Feliz. “John and Melanie are dynamic performers with excellent vocals and they know how to incorporate an authentic Latin flavor in their Country music. Bobby and Janie are talented individuals and they put all of their heart and soul in their songwriting and performances. We are excited and honored to have all four sign with us,” states Baca. Bobby, John Arthur, Melanie and Janie are set to perform with Country legend Johnny Rodriguez at CMA Music Fest's Latin Country Show, June 9th.
“These entertainers are first-class performers with talent that is commensurate with the very best in country music,” said Roberts. “The Latin market will only continue to explode in the next 10 years. We feel we are at the forefront of the Latin Country movement and will provide opportunities for Hispanic artists to share their Country music talent with the world.” –by CelebrityAccess Staff Writers

I'll begin with IG Group, the granddaddy of the financial spread-betting industry, which was forced to push out a short announcement last week about a €25m High Court claim on the company.
It all related to the insolvency of Echelon Wealth Management, a former IG client, and the spread-better's statement quickly dismissed the likely impact of the "speculative" claim. That was about all it was prepared to say on the matter, but the court documents go a lot further, alleging Echelon had a "white label agreement" whereby it received commissions for trades placed by its clients with IG. Furthermore, the three claimants – a Swiss investor called Lucien Selce and two investment companies, Stokors and Phoenicia – are pursuing damages after losing cash they believed Echelon had ring-fenced in segregated IG deposit accounts, only for those funds to be used to cover other Echelon clients' losses.
It all looks like a mess, but the FTSE 250 group remains confident there is no case to answer. A spokesman says: "IG has no contractual relationship with the claimants." Developing...
Joe Bloggs link
In an intriguing footnote, the documents also record who the claimants believe was making the losses. "On or about April 2008, Echelon opened a sub-account with IG Markets numbered E4376," they record. "The nominal sub-account holder and client of Echelon for this sub-account was Ranjit Singh, but in fact it was operated by Echelon on the instructions of and for the benefit of Eaitisham (Shami) Ahmed". That would be the same Shami Ahmed who founded the Joe Bloggs clothing brand, before being forced into personal bankruptcy last year by spread-betting firms chasing him for millions of pounds. Ahmed denies the "Ranjit Singh account" was under his control adding that he has also lost out. Shares in Ahmed's firm, Legendary Investments, were suspended in 2008 because Echelon was holding £600,000 of the group's cash. I don't think we've heard the end of all this.
FA upfront on gender
I hear various City grandees are being approached by the Football Association's headhunters to apply for the vacant chairman's role, boss of men such as Stephen Gerrard. Will they be put off by the FA's intrusive equal opportunities questionnaire? It asks: "What is your gender?" before probing: "If you are currently undergoing the process of gender reassignment, please tick your future gender."
Hunt as honest broker
The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, is being forced to judge the size of the annual horse-racing levy, paid by bookmakers to the horse industry, after the two warring sides failed to agree between themselves. The Bookmakers' Committee, representing the leading chains including "William Hill, Labdrokes [sic], Gala Coral and Betfair", released a joint briefing document on Friday outlining their case – an unusual outbreak of solidarity. It is thought that this impasse has been arrived at after William Hill blocked a £75m package that its three rivals wanted to offer. "A deal could have been done," confirms my mole, "but it got blocked."

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Tuesday issued a sweeping proposal designed to make community banks more competitive.
The plan, which could ease lending limits and capital requirements, is part of Comptroller John D. Hawke Jr.'s campaign to help banks with less than $1 billion of assets.
In an interview, Mr. Hawke said regulators ought to try and bolster community banks because they provide competition in an ever-shrinking industry.
"They don't need our help in the sense that they're floundering," he said. "We want to see them stay vibrant."
The agency's advance notice of proposed rulemaking also aims to streamline the applications process for new powers and additional branches.
The Comptroller's Office is also looking for ways to improve corporate governance procedures, which dictate how a bank is organized and operated. Finally, bankers were invited to suggest any other changes they think would ease the regulatory burden without imperiling safety and soundness.
Roughly 2,300 national banks would be covered by the new OCC rules. Together they hold $322 billion of assets, or 10% of the industry's total.
Bankers and trade group officials praised the comptroller's proposal.
"What's not to like?" said Karen Thomas, director of regulatory affairs at the Independent Community Bankers Association. "OCC recognizes that community banks are an important part of the financial landscape and their ability to compete should not be unduly hampered by regulatory burdens."
Mr. Hawke singled out lending limits as the most important potential change. National banks currently may not lend more than 15% of their capital to a single borrower. Another 10% may be lent if the credit is secured by collateral that can be easily sold.
That blocks smaller institutions from serving some local borrowers that larger banks are able to accommodate, Mr. Hawke said.
"That's the largest concern that I've seen expressed by the CEOs in the smaller banks," agreed Katie Winchester, president and chief executive officer of First Citizens National Bank, Dyersburg, Tenn.
Some states have already set more generous loan limits, putting national banks at a competitive disadvantage, according to Joe Williams, president and CEO of American Heritage Bank, El Reno, Okla.
As a state bank, American Heritage can lend up to 30% of its capital in one loan. "We've been able to accommodate our service area" through higher loan limits, he said.
On capital, the OCC does not propose any specific changes. Rather, the proposal asks "whether the differences in activities and levels and types of risks between large and community banks warrant" separate capital rules. Community bank capital rules could be "simpler," the OCC suggests.
But, in interviews, community bank CEOs were unfazed by existing capital requirements.
"In today's environment, capital is not a problem, given the strong earnings and the wonderful banking environment we've been privy to," Ms. Winchester said. "I don't have a problem with the current standards for measuring capital."
For her, relief from the Community Reinvestment Act is a top concern.
Tuesday's action is only one piece of the OCC's wide-ranging plan to address community banking issues, which Mr. Hawke unveiled in January and began to flesh out in March.
Within a month, the comptroller said, he will issue another proposal to make it easier for small banks to convert to S corporations, which enjoy tax advantages. And this summer the agency expects to hire its first director of community bank activities.
The OCC is also developing software that will help community bankers compare their institutions to others.

The missile force of Yemeni army and popular committees, on Saturday, released a short-range ballistic missile on the gatherings of aggression forces and mercenaries in West Coast, after releasing a similar missile on the same district.
The source confirmed that the missile got its target accurately.
It is worthy to mention that the missile force yesterday announced , on Friday , the new experiment of short-range ballistic missile that is domestically-manufactured by the Yemeni experts, pointing out that its specs will be revealed in the coming days .
Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network, citing a military official, said that the unnamed short-range ballistic missile hit its designated target with great precision on Saturday afternoon, causing heavy human and material damage.
The source added that the army, which has just recently unveiled the missile, pounded the same area in the western coast with the same projectile on Friday evening.
The Yemeni army has so far hit Saudi-led targets both inside Yemen and inside Saudi Arabia with numerous ballistic missiles, inflicting damage upon the invading war machine.
On June 13, the invaders launched a major offensive to take Houthi-held Hudaydah, a densely-populated city and the war-torn country’s most vital port, which is the entry point for 70 percent of the impoverished country’s imports. The offensive, however, failed to achieve its goal, thanks to firm resistance mounted by Yemeni troops and Houthi fighters in defense of the city.
Saudi Arabia and some 20 of its allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan, launched a brutal war, code-named Operation Decisive Storm, against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Yemen’s former president and a staunch ally of Riyadh, and crush the popular Ansarullah movement.
Ansarullah, which is a significant aid to the Yemeni army in defending the country against the invading forces, has been running state affairs in the absence of an effective administration during the past three years.
The imposed war initially consisted of a bombing campaign but was later coupled with a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces into Yemen.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured until then. The war and the accompanying blockade have also caused famine across Yemen.
The Saudi-led aggression has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories. The United Nations has already said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in need of food aid, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
A number of Western countries, the United States and Britain in particular, are also accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply the Riyadh regime with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical and intelligence assistance.

The situation is far from resolved, but signs are looking promising that the new Cessnock Correctional Centre access route will have minimal impact on local residences - including the village of Nulkaba.
A full gallery attended Wednesday night's Cessnock City Council meeting, applauding when an amended mayoral minute addressing the issue was unanimously supported, taking on board the Nulkaba residents' group's feedback and concerns about the NSW Government's preferred entrance via Kerlew Street and Occident Street.
Residents fear this entrance will create "rat-runs" through their village, and their favoured option remains via Calvary/Department of Health land off Wine Country Drive (an option that has been ruled 'unviable' by the government due to right of access and the impact on Health infrastructure and the aged care facility).
But failing that, the residents' group would like to see the new entry built through woodland at the rear of the cemetery, with Kerlew Street to be closed past that point (to prevent rat-runs), and with security fencing and screening provided.
Craig Findley - who spoke on behalf of the residents' group - said the local road network cannot accommodate the increase in traffic, as was shown when Kerlew Street was used as temporary access late last year (while the Lindsay Street entrance underwent repairs).
Mr Findley said a peak of 501 vehicle movements was recorded during this time - a great increase considering only 10 residences are located on Kerlew Street.
Mr Findley said anti-social behaviour was also experienced during this time, and the proximity of such behaviour to a school and preschool was of great concern.
"The solution suggested by Corrections merely transfers all of the current problems from Lindsay Street to Nulkaba," he said.
Council is calling the Department of Corrections to ensure the new access route is isolated from the local road network, with minimal traffic on council-maintained roads, minimal impact on private residences before it adjoins the state road network, and that safe access is maintained where it joins the state road network.
While council reaffirmed its preferred option for the entrance is also through Health land off Wine Country Drive (a state road), it asked general manager Lotta Jackson to engage with the Department of Corrections about a route via Wine Country Drive, with the alternate option that was put forward by the residents group to be included in these discussions.
Cessnock mayor Bob Pynsent praised the residents for their efforts and hoped it would result in a positive outcome with minimal impact on local roads and residences.
"The last thing this council wants is the community of Nulkaba interrupted by traffic from the correctional centre," he said.
"The ambience of of Nulkaba needs to be maintained."
Mr Findley was pleased with the outcome of Wednesday's meeting.
"We know it's only a step in the process - council is not necessarily the ending consent authority - but now we can approach the state government with unanimous support of council and have a better footing," he said.
A report will be presented to council when the design is complete.
The 1000-bed expansion project at the correctional centre is nearly complete, with the final stage of the project - a 280-bed minimum security facility - due to be opened mid-year.
The expansion is part of the NSW Government's $3.8 billion Prison Bed Capacity Program, a four-year program that was announced in the 2016-17 budget.

CHICAGO — A brain zapping technique helps people recover language after a stroke, new research shows. The results may point to a better way for people to relearn how to talk after a brain injury.
“I think this work is very promising,” said cognitive neuroscientist Roi Cohen Kadosh of the University of Oxford. The study, presented April 2 at the annual meeting of Cognitive Neuroscience Society, represents one of the first attempts to successfully apply brain stimulation techniques to a clinical population, he said.
Speech therapist and neuroscientist Jenny Crinion of University College London and collaborators focused on people who had trouble finding the right word after a stroke. Known as anomia, the condition is frustrating, leaving people unable to call the correct word to mind.
Crinion and her colleagues paired a word-training technique with brain stimulation. The training regimen was intense. In the lab and at home, participants studied 150 cards with pictures of one-syllable words of everyday objects: cat, bed, car and so on for a total of about 60 hours over six weeks.
Three days a week, six volunteers came into the lab to receive a type of electrical brain stimulation known as transcranial direct current stimulation. Volunteers received the stimulation, which doesn’t seem to cause pain or any ill effects, while training on the vocabulary words. Seven volunteers received a sham treatment without stimulation.
Stimulation was targeted to Broca’s area in the left side of the brain, a region linked to speech production. The kind of stimulation used in the study is thought to enhance nerve cell activity, though exactly how it works isn’t clear.
Although the study is still in its early stages, initial results look promising, Crinion said. All of the volunteers improved, because they all received the normal word recognition training. But people who also received brain stimulation showed a startling improvement. At the end of the six-week study, the six volunteers receiving stimulation nearly doubled their scores on a picture-naming task, improving by 92 percent. Seven volunteers without brain stimulation improved on average by 56 percent.
This gap persisted after the initial testing, though it diminished in size. Three months out, volunteers who received the stimulation performed 82 percent better than they had performed before treatment, while those receiving sham treatment held steady with a 55 percent improvement. “These are huge effects,” Crinion said. “It’s really encouraging.”
The team doesn’t know whether the improvements will apply to other types of language use, such as carrying on conversations. But some of the patients have noticed improvements in their quality of life, Crinion said. At the conclusion of the therapy period, one man with anomia took the researchers out to celebrate at a pub, and insisted on ordering for the whole group himself.
The researchers hope to add more participants and conduct brain imaging studies to see how brain activity changes as a result of the training and brain stimulation regimen.

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, has directed the Ministry of Water and Environment to rein in on encroachers of water bodies in the country.
Kadaga reiterated the President’s remarks about people living around water bodies, who cultivate land up to 50 metres into the lakes and rivers.
“By law, land spanning 50 metres from a water body into the shoreline is not supposed to be tampered with but we see time and again locals doing the exact opposite,” she said.
The Speaker was launching the Catchment Management Plans and Water Management Strategy Project of the Upper Nile and Kyoga regions. The function was held at Hotel Africana, Kampala on Wednesday, 19 December 2018.
Kadaga noted the lack of policy implementation in the management of the environment by the Ministry. She said the mind-set of people needs to be realigned with sensitivity to water as a resource.
“People do not know how to utilise rain water; you will find people waiting for the rain to subside so that they can go to the well instead of collecting the rain water,” she said.
The Commissioner Water Resources Planning and Regulation, Dr. Callist Tindimugaya, said that many of the 17 goals under the SDGs require water to be supported, so there is need to manage water properly.
“We need to track the movement of water so that we can utilize it properly. Towns are growing, so we need to manage water through catchment management organizations,” he said.
The project involves preparing water catchment management plans for five water catchment regions in Uganda. These include Victoria Nile, Aswa, Mpologoma, Awoja and Albert Nile catchment areas.
Tindimugaya said that there is a proposed integrated water management and development project funded by World Bank to a tune of US$270 million to make sure that such water catchment areas are implemented.
The Minister of Water and Environment, Hon. Sam Cheptoris, said implementation of catchment based management system is stakeholder driven and the responsibility of the Ministry is facilitation and coordination.
“We should all work together with the locals to make sure this project is properly implemented,” Cheptoris said.
