MOUNT DESERT — It’s too soon to enact a moratorium on marijuana retail stores in Mount Desert, the Board of Selectmen decided Monday.
They had considered asking voters at the May 2 town meeting to approve a 180-day moratorium, but they agreed to hold off.
In November, Maine voters narrowly approved the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. The law went into effect Jan. 30, so it is now legal for people 21 and over to possess marijuana and use it in private settings.
However, the sale of marijuana is still illegal in Maine. The Legislature has enacted a moratorium on retail sales to give state officials time to set up licensing and regulatory procedures. That is expected to take until at least February 2018.
Mount Desert could enact a 180-day moratorium on retail stores, which the selectmen could then extend for another 180 days.
But the selectmen said Monday that with the state moratorium in place, there is no pressing need for a local moratorium on retail stores, and enacting a local moratorium at this time would only limit the town’s options later on.
“I personally think we should wait because I don’t want to get up to the end of our [moratorium of] 360 days and have nothing left in the bag,” Chairman John Macauley said, drawing laughter from his fellow board members.
“We could have a special town meeting and maybe vote a moratorium once we get closer [to the end of the state’s moratorium].”
That, he and other board members indicated, would give the town more time to decide what, if any, zoning changes or other restrictions should be enacted regarding the establishment of marijuana retail stores.
Maine municipalities can limit the location of such retail outlets or prohibit them entirely.

Net MRR Churn Rate
What is Net MRR Churn Rate?
Another common SaaS metric, Net Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) Churn Rate is the measure of lost revenue month over month (due to cancellations and account downgrades) after factoring in any revenue from existing customers (i.e. upgrades / expansion). It shows revenue churn minus expansion. This is in contrast to Gross MRR Churn Rate that estimates the total loss to the company not including expansion.
Advice from VCs: Why Net MRR Churn Rate is critical
“MRR churn sucks the blood out of your business. That’s why I think that SaaS companies should work very hard to get MRR churn down, as close to zero as possible, or even better achieve negative MRR churn.” - Christoph Janz, co-founder and managing partner at Point Nine Angel VC
How to calculate Net MRR Churn Rate:
[ ($) MRR Churn
($) Expansion MRR ]
($) Total MRR at the start of the Month
(%) Net MRR Churn Rate
Net MRR Churn Rate is calculated by first subtracting expansion MRR from churn MRR. (Remember that churn includes both cancellations and account downgrades or ‘contractions.’) Then divide the result by the total MRR at the start of the month and multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage. For example, if a company’s total MRR for the month is $50,000 with churn of $2000 and account expansion of $800, the net MRR churn rate would be 2.4% for that month.
($2000 - $800) / $50,000 X 100 = 2.4%
It’s possible to end up with a Net Negative MRR Churn Rate. This happens when the expansion MRR for the month exceeds the churn MRR (including cancellations and downgrades). Continuing with our example above, if the total MRR is $50,000 but churn is $1500 and expansion is $2000, then the net (negative) MRR churn rate would be -1%.
Net MRR Churn Rate can also be calculated on a cohort basis instead of monthly. The formula is quite similar to monthly version - simply change the figures to reflect the duration of the cohort, not a single month. See the adapted calculation below.
[ ($) Churn MRR from cohort
($) Expansion MRR from cohort ]
($) Total Cohort MRR
(%) Net MRR Churn Rate for Cohort
Tracking the Net MRR Churn Rate is essential for understanding the health of a SaaS business since it’s one of the most significant hindrances to growth. By factoring in expansion MRR, net churn focuses on sustainability - can the business keep growing with this churn rate? Ideally, companies should aim for zero or even a negative churn rate to optimize the impact of new MRR.
Companies that achieve net negative churn rate can actually grow even if they don’t add any new MRR (this isn’t recommended, but shows the power of negative churn).
In general, churn is a reflection of targeting the right customers and making the product more and more valuable. Net MRR Churn Rate can hide useful information if tracked exclusively since it combines unhappy customers (those who cancel) and happy customers (those who upgrade or expand their account). This information can be parsed out by tracking Expansion MRR and Gross MRR Churn Rate.
Relevant SaaS Metrics and KPIs:
If you’re adding Net MRR Churn Rate to your SaaS dashboard, you might want to also consider tracking these related SaaS metrics for context.
Benchmarks for churn rate vary significantly depending on company stage (SMB, Mid-Market, or Enterprise). There’s also quite a bit of ambiguity around benchmarks for gross vs net churn and customer vs revenue churn. Many of the available benchmarks focus on customer churn instead of revenue churn, but the range for each company segment can still be helpful.
“The maximum viable churn for a company depends on the company’s runway and the rate at which the startup can grow accounts through up-sell and cross-sell. It goes without saying that less churn is always better, but estimating an upper-bound for churn can be helpful for financial modeling and internal prioritization of customer success efforts.” - Tom Tunguz, Partner at Redpoint Ventures

Using Degeneracy Breaking to Design a MEMS Biosensor
In the paper “Degeneracy Breaking, Modal Symmetry and MEMS Biosensors”, which was presented at the COMSOL Conference 2013 in Rotterdam, researchers experiment with using material and geometric symmetry breaking to design a MEMS biosensor.
Green Energy Management for Communication Systems
The communication network wasn’t designed to carry the amount of traffic that is currently transmitted around the world on a daily basis. With the rapid expansion in data traffic and the exponential growth in high-speed communications, the current network is coming under increasing strain. At Bell Labs, researchers are looking into ways to improve energy efficiency through the use of optimized electronics cooling and energy harvesting technology. Two new energy-savings approaches developed by the group promise significant savings.
Thermal Contact Resistance Simulation
How does thermal contact resistance affect heat transfer? As the sizes of electronic devices continue to decrease, effective heat management becomes even more important. Today, electronic packaging has transitioned from its original purpose of providing mechanical protection and interconnection to also serving as a means of heat dissipation to the outside environment. Using a model from the Model Gallery, we explore the role of thermal contact resistance on heat management in a simple electronic package and heat sink assembly.
Accurate Hematology Analysis Using Hydrofocusing
Hematology analysis is an important step in medical diagnoses, often determining the treatment that a patient will receive. With a patient’s life on the line, it is vital that these analyses are accurate to the highest degree possible. Researchers at HORIBA Medical, a worldwide supplier of medical diagnostic equipment, turned to simulation to develop new methods for optimizing the accuracy of their hematology analysis devices. The resulting technique is currently used in some of their best-selling equipment.
What Is a Packed Bed Reactor?
The chemical industry is considerably important to economies around the world, playing a critical role in processes ranging from the production of clean drinking water to the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Chemical engineers are faced with the challenge of ensuring profitability in a rapidly growing and evolving market. Packed bed reactors are one of the most common reactors used in the chemical industry due to their high conversion rate per catalyst weight compared to other catalytic reactors.
Solving a Space Problem with Origami Principles
Engineers designing space-bound satellites and solar arrays face a rather ironic challenge — lack of space. In order to overcome this problem, aerospace engineers are turning to an interesting source for inspiration: origami, the ancient art of Japanese paper folding.
Optimizing the Continuous Casting Process with Simulation
The Swiss steel company SMS Concast has been leveraging multiphysics simulation to optimize the steelmaking process of continuous casting. Through research conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics, the R&D team at SMS Concast was able to implement a new technique that allowed a steelmaking plant in Taiwan to reduce yearly CO2 emissions by about 40,000 tons.
Just Published: Paper on Modeling Spinal Column Stimulation
In the 2012 edition of Multiphysics Simulation, we featured an article about modeling spinal cord stimulation to determine the effect that scar tissue can have on electrical current distribution during the treatment of chronic pain. Recently, the full-length paper by Beth Israel Deaconess researchers Jeffrey Arle, Kris Carlson, Longzhi Mei, and Jay Shils was published in the journal Neuromodulation.

Students apply for school jobsPosted: 30th October 2019
Workers are looking younger these days.
Eleven and 12-year-old students at Sir Frederick Gibberd College are applying to take on jobs at their brand-new school.
The Year 7 students have already taken on roles on the school council, writing their own manifestos and speaking in front of their peers to earn votes.
Eight students have been appointed to represent their classmates on the school council after being successful during the application and interview process.
Now, job advertisements have been put together to give them further opportunities to take responsibility around the school.
Roles include librarian, eco society member, Stonewall champions and playground monitors.
Headteacher Dee Conlon said: “The idea is for students to experience the process of applying for a role and being shortlisted for an interview; just like we do in the real world. It will all help to give them experience ahead of Year 11 when they will have to go through a similar process when applying for sixth form and jobs. This way, they will know what is to come.
“Everything we do at Sir Frederick Gibberd has an educational purpose behind it. We are taking every opportunity to teach our students a skill and to instil good habits. They will be contributing to their school and giving back to their immediate community by taking on these roles. It will give them responsibility and involve them in their school, so they take ownership and feel part of this family. It is similar to how you would give children chores at home.”

By providing exclusive rewards and discounts tailored to individual preferences, these apps are able to enhance the overall user experience.

AMOSSHE, in collaboration with Unite Students, is supporting a series of member-led projects related to the theme “student resilience in an accommodation setting”.
These projects extend sector knowledge about how Student Services professionals can develop student resilience, specifically within a student accommodation setting, and contribute to the development of a sector-wide student resilience toolkit.
It is well established that students are more likely to be open and candid with their peers. The Student Community Makers project aims to collaborate with students to better understand whether student-led interventions can help to create an environment in university-owned and managed accommodation that develops resilience. In particular, the project looks at how student-led interventions can encourage social integration and the building of positive social relationships in halls.
Kingston University has over four years' direct experience of working in partnership with students to shape services. Therefore the project team understands the benefits of working in partnership with students.
The project aims to research and pilot student-led interventions in Kingston’s university-owned and managed accommodation to see if students develop resilience over time.
The project has three main stages:
As primary research the project team will:
For impact and evaluation, the project team will:
Through the pilot the project team will reflect and refine the methodology to ensure the best outcomes for students and develop the team’s learning.
The project outputs / products will include:


Anderson returned to the bench in the third period after exiting the ice due to McAvoy's hit.
Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy avoided a match penalty against the Blue Jackets on Monday night after delivering an illegal check to the head of Columbus wing Josh Anderson. McAvoy earned only a two-minute minor for the hit.
McAvoy's hit reportedly went unseen by the officiating crew, according to The Athletic's Tom Reed. Anderson returned to the ice in the third period as Boston held a 1–0 lead at Nationwide Arena in Columbus.
Officials in Columbus could not award McAvoy a five-minute major nor a game misconduct. A check to the head warrants either a minor penalty or a match penalty, per NHL.com's Dan Rosen.
There is no provision in Rule 48 -- Illegal check to the head for a major penalty or a game misconduct. It is either a minor penalty, which is what Charlie McAvoy received, or a match penalty.— Dan Rosen (@drosennhl) May 7, 2019
Boston entered Tuesday night leading Columbus 3–2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The series winner will face the Hurricanes after their second-round sweep of the Islanders.

Anton & Michel Restaurant
Maple Leaf Duck Breast
sundried cherry sauce, grilled asparagus, roasted peppers, sweet potato & green onion mash
Classic French Onion Soup
Fantastic dinner, lovely setting by the fountains, service impeccable
We loved every bite and each swallow of lovely shyrah! The seasonal ravioli with balsamic was delish along with the gorgonzola gnocchi. The duck was amazing as well and the fettuccine was a dream! Don't forget to have the French onion soup, they do it right. Dessert was crepes suzette. This was our first time having these and they were yummy! I just wish they did the table side cooking outside by the giant fountain we were next to. They only put on the giant fire coming display inside. Makes no sense. Overall, a lovely and delicious dinner in a quiet and romantic setting.
We had a truly magnificent experience with delicious food, excellent service and lovely ambiance.
Our favorite restaurant in Carmel so far.
Best. Ever. Period.
Nothing more to say.
Really cute place with great food and service by Terry.
Owner was engaging and nice ambiance
Everything was excellent, including food, service and ambiance. Great bar also. A little pricey but perfect for special occasions.
Anton and Michel hits every highlight that makes a great night out dining! Decor is intimately lovely. There were 4 in our group who all got different appetizers and entrees- all were delicious.
In Carmel, this restaurant and Seventh & Dolores (wonderful steakhouse) were our top 2!
Unfortunately our fish was over cooked which seems pretty unacceptable at a restaurant like this.
Our experience ended up being satisfactory but it began in a very disappointing way. After booking a reservation for our 30th anniversary dinner, weeks before our visit, we were informed when we arrived by the very rude hostess, Rebecca, that there were no tables and we’d have to wait. When I asked, “even though we have a reservation “ she sarcastically said, “do you want to go look for yourself?!” She offered for us to sit at the bar or outside- we chose outside. Our waiter was very attentive & the food was delicious. I had the seafood fricassee & my husband had New York Steak. Overall, after a dismal beginning at the hostess stand, our visit was a positive one. Good food, pleasing atmosphere, great wait staff. But super rude hostess- don’t expect your reservation to be honored at Anton & Michel.
The last time we were here was in March 1994 when we were on our honeymoon. This restaurant impressed us so much that when we finally came back to this area we HAD to come here again and it was just as fantastic as we remembered.
We live in Carmel and Anton and Michel remains one of our very favorite restaurants, especially for lunch on the patio by the fountain. Great menu and excellent service from an always polished and professional staff.
One of the best, if not THE best restaurant in Carmel.
Wonderful overall. Great food and service! Loved the outdoor space
We really enjoyed our lunch at Anton & Michael over the weekend. This restaurant holds a special place in our heart, since my husband proposed to me there - over 36 years ago!
It holds great memories for us and we love the quiet, elegant atmosphere and the wonderful staff. We will be back to celebrate many future anniversaries.
Great food and service. We came with our kids and they kindly split their meal with sides for each of them. We will be back.
Our dinner was outstanding. Food, service and ambiance were the best. The rack of lamb was the best I have ever had. This is a restaurant you don’t want to miss in Carmel.
The best place in Carmel for a high end, romantic dinner. The facilities are beautiful, staff are highly trained, the menu is comprehensive and the wine list is extensive! Reservations are a must and we love being seated with a view of the garden court and fountains. Servers prepared our Bananas Foster at table side so all can enjoy the show. This is our go to restaurant for a splurge romantic dinner when in the Monterrey area.
Food was cold and not prepared as requested. Duck was rare instead of medium/rare. Server was good but recommended 1/2 bottles vs giving us information about wines by the glass seeming to promote higher sales rather than letting us make the choice.
Top notch, fabulous dining experience.
Wonderful service in a lovely setting. The filet was the best steak I have had in Carmel! Great appetizers: spring rolls, gnocchi and tomato and halumi. Others in my group enjoyed the soups, too.?All delicious!
Disappointed. Not what it used to be.
Made a reservation for a 74th birthday and requested a window looking at the fountain. Waited 45 min (at least) for a side table, so nothing was actually reserved, but ok... Restaurant not very busy.
Onion soup was sublime.
Entrees very good.
But no Bananas Foster, Cherries Jubilee or Crepe Suzette because "out of vanilla ice cream"? Ridiculous.
We should have gone somewhere else.
We go to Carmel a couple of times a year and always try to eat at Anton & Michel - food is consistently good and the restaurant is very comfortable and centrally located.
We were rushed from the very start. Our waiter was rude and hovered over us as we asked to have some time before we ordered food. The man who brought our bread slid it across the table and a piece of bread from fell off the plate, and also took our French onion soup away before we finished. We ordered a bottle of wine and our waiter poured the last half bottle on his own after we asked him not to pour signifying he wanted us out. The other wait staff tried to clear the table while we were still eating. When I asked nicely not to rush us he got confrontational so we paid billed and left.
We have been going there for over 30years. Love the place
We celebrated our daughter’s graduation and very pleased with our dining experience. Food was fantastic and the service was impeccable.
Food and service excellent. Our server, Geri, was warm, informative, and precise. Excellent suggestions. This resturant is a must when we visit.
This visit didn't start off very well. The wait staff person was obviously stressed out and very impatient and not to mention rude. It was so bad that I had to go to the Maitre D and request a different server. As we noticed during our stay in Carmel, most establishments were being overrun by customers as the post pandemic sets in.
This was suppose to be a special occasion as it was our 23rd wedding anniversary. Luiz, the Maitre D, was great. He immediately took over our table and made sure we were happy while he assigned another server (who was also great). From then on everything was fine. The food was very good and so was the wine. Had our first encounter gone differently, I was have given 4 stars on everything.
We had a great waiter and the ambiance and food were perfect
Lovely surroundings and very well-prepared food. A delightful luncheon!
Had heard great things about A&M, maybe my expectations were too high. We ordered appetizers that were great, entrees were good, except the polenta was like a hockey puck! Our server was good, the bus boy - less so, tossing bread onto the plate and dripping water across the table. Another server, Tiffany was engaging and would have added to the great ambience. We haven’t been out for so long, was really looking forward to this splurge
Martini overpriced but simple and good. I don't remember how I asked for the steak to be done but it was overdone - barely pink in the middel.
Fabulous food, impeccable service, and relaxing ambiance on the back patio.
Service by Terri was great but the hostess was the worst so rude
A true gem. The staff and service are outstanding. Have dined with them for the past three years I have visited Carmel. Luis is the GM and he is the best!!!
The staff was very friendly and the meal was amazing. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Tiffany was great, food is always very good, and the outside setting is charming, relaxing and a hidden gem.
please tell the hostess to smile more. Tiffany was awesome!
Recommended by friends. First visit

VW reports profit leap to 1.71 billion euros
Volkswagen, the biggest European carmaker, said on Wednesday that its 2011 first-quarter net profit leapt three-fold to 1.71 billion euros ($2.5 billion), though it slightly missed market expectations.
Analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast a net profit of 1.84 billion euros for VW, which also said that for the first time it had sold two million vehicles in a single quarter.
Shares in the group soared in midday trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange, as did those of two other German car makers, Daimler and BMW.
In the first quarter of 2010, VW reported net profit of 473 million euros.
This time around, its operating profit came in at 2.9 billion euros, a much more modest gain from the 2.1 billion figure a year earlier.
As for sales, the VW group, which owns nine brands including Audi, Seat and Skoda, reported a 14 percent increase in terms of the number of vehicles and a jump of 30.8 percent in value terms to 37.5 billion euros.
A VW statement pointed to "sustained high demand in China, India, Central and Eastern Europe, and North and South America" as the main drivers behind its strong results.
It quoted finance director Dieter Poetsch as saying: "Our sound finances and continuous improvements in profitability are the basis for the Volkswagen group's successful future."
Looking at 2011 overall, VW chairman Martin Winterkorn added: "Volkswagen shifted into the fast lane in 2010 and that's exactly where we intend to stay this year."
The group confirmed that it still expects sales and operating profit to surpass the 2010 figures of 126.9 billion euros and 7.1 billion euros, respectively.
VW shares showed a gain of 3.77 percent to 125.25 euros in midday trading, while the DAX index of German blue chips was just 0.67 percent higher overall.
Daimler was up by 2.50 percent at 53.26 euros, while BMW had gained 1.91 percent to 62.89 euros.

The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Ms. Yanghee Lee, giving her end-of-mission statement on 1 February, 2018 despite being barred from entering the country, laid bare the extent of the deeply troubling human rights violations experienced by the people of Myanmar, not just over the past few months, but over the past few decades. Stressing the horrors of what has been happening to the Rohingya since August 2017 – made all the more tragic given reports of more mass graves of Rohingya being found – she also outlined how this is not an isolated, recent situation, but that other ethnic groups “have suffered the same horrific violations at the hands of the Tatmadaw [Myanmar Army] over several decades” as she highlights their struggle for “belonging” and “equality.”
Her statement spoke of the horror that caused the nearly 700,000 Rohingya to flee northern Rakhine State into Bangladesh over the past few months, saying “No amount of videos, photographs or news footage can prepare you for witnessing in-person the immensity of the camps and gravity of the loss and suffering experienced by the Rohingya population.” Her statement comes in the same week that news reports of the existence of five previously-unreported mass graves of Rohingya villagers in Gu Yar Pyin Village, Rakhine State. While the Myanmar Army has denied the existence of these graves, access to the area is restricted for journalists, while access for independent human rights investigators and organizations is obviously out of the question.
It is of major concern how many mass graves will eventually be found in the aftermath of the ferocious military operation that began in August 2017, especially given policies of disinformation, denial, restricted access and the narrative of securitization being peddled as justification for such violence. This has led to a merging together of the interests of the Myanmar Army and the Myanmar Government with both actors working together in a frightening nexus of abuse and denial. Yet as Ms. Lee points out, the brave actions of journalists reporting on such issues have led to one admission of culpability of the Myanmar Army with the mass grave at Inn Din Village. The consequence of such reporting, however, has been that they have been locked up in jail, denied bail, and facing up to 14 years in prison after being charged under the colonial era, Official Secrets Act.
It is not only journalists that are in locked up for exposing the abuses of the Myanmar Army. Two Kachin pastors who had previously helped journalists report on the Myanmar Army’s shelling of civilian targets including a church during fighting between the Myanmar Army and ethnic armed organizations in northern Shan State in November 2016 remain in prison for their efforts. This conflict and abuse by the Myanmar Army continues in northern Myanmar, especially in Shan and Kachin State. Since 19 January, three townships in Kachin State have faced a renewed offensive including aerial shelling leading to thousands being displaced in addition to civilian casualties. For the past several years, humanitarian aid has been insufficient for the over 100,000 internally displaced persons living in these areas, largely due to the Myanmar Army blocking access for aid provision.
Ms. Lee has been barred from accessing Myanmar due to her work as an independent human rights reporter on Myanmar – a mandate bestowed on her by the UN. The need for her to give her press conference in Seoul, South Korea, rather than Yangon, Myanmar, speaks volumes for where the country stands on human rights. Denial and obfuscations regarding the human rights situation for ethnic and religious minorities by the Myanmar authorities is becoming less effective as the country has opened up to greater scrutiny as well as the technological advances that allow the wide dissemination of information. This has allowed the wider international community to have greater depth and breadth of knowledge regarding the violations that the Myanmar Army commits.
Such violations are committed in a systematic and institutionalized manner against ethnic minorities and have been for decades – as evidenced by the approximately 100,000 refugees on the Thailand border, the majority of whom are ethnic Karen and Karenni, who fear for their security if they return. The Myanmar Government has thus far refused to address or even acknowledge this institutionalized pattern of abuse. However, the international community – which states its commitment to the democratization process at every opportunity – must grapple with the real shortcomings of an abusive and unaccountable Army that has shown no political will or made any compromise towards genuine peace, democracy and ethnic equality.

BJP's Tajinder Bagga Promises 'Surgical Strike' In Shaheen Bagh On February 11 (Photo Credit: Abhilasha Kishore/News Nation)
Gloves are off ahead of the Delhi Assembly Elections. What started as one Twitter mention by Kapil Mishra has now become the party line of the BJP. From Mishra to Parvesh Verma to Tarun Chugh, several BJP leaders have made brazen remarks over the ongoing Shaheen Bagh protests. On Thursday, BJP’s Hari Nagar candidate Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga joined the list by making a shrill remark over the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh. Posting a video clip, Bagga claimed that a Shaheen Bagh supporter was equating the Indian Army with the Pakistan Army. He claimed that Shaheen Bagh has turned into the hotbed of anti-nationals. “On February 11, right after the poll results, a surgical strike will be carried out to clean these hotspots of anti-national activities,” Bagga said on Twitter.

15 Nov Successful AGM held Thursday – The Highlights
|Successful AGM held Thursday – The Highlights|
|I’m pleased to advise that a very successful, albeit unique, Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Thursday with 33 members participating in this Zoom meeting. A quorum is 25.
The highlights were:
As there was no nomination for VP, and as provided for in the club constitution, the directors expect to fill the post by co-option in the next few weeks and members will be advised in due course.
And so that’s about it for another year and I have pleasure in also attaching the Club Administration document for 2020-21. This reflects all the above and other appointments and lists all the officers and post holders in each section and functional area of the club – a very impressive list I think you’ll agree and all volunteers!
Finally, let’s hope that sanity prevails and we can all get back on the course sooner rather than later.
In anticipation of a limited return to golf in December your new Management Committee is to consider ‘Return to Golf’ arrangements at its next meeting on Monday. What is certain is that with very limited light at this time of year and continuing strong demand for tee slots some form of management of tee-time availability will be required. Watch this space!
In the meantime please stay safe.

Pens' Roberts out with broken left leg
Veteran forward Gary Roberts left the game between the Penguins and Buffalo Sabres at Mellon Arena tonight after a collision with Buffalo forward Tim Connolly during the second period.
Roberts was diagnosed by team doctors with a broken left fibula, and it is unknown how much time he will miss. Roberts will be re-evaluated by team doctors in the coming days.
Roberts collapsed after Connolly accidentally slid directly into the back of his left knee at 13:32 of the second period. He refused to leave the ice on a stretcher and was helped to the dressing room by forward Georges Laraque and defenseman Darryl Sydor.

Quiet storms on the highway
2002 Dodge Ram 1500If you like a tough truck look and want smooth handling, with huge cargo-hauling torque, then you'll definitely want to check out the all-new 2002 Dodge Ram half-ton pickup. However...
April 1, 2002 | By Bill Roebuck
2002 Dodge Ram 1500
If you like a tough truck look and want smooth handling, with huge cargo-hauling torque, then you’ll definitely want to check out the all-new 2002 Dodge Ram half-ton pickup. However, it’s not just the outside appearance that’s changed in the Ram — there’s plenty of redesigned components underneath the body and inside the passenger compartment that make it a much more refined vehicle than its predecessors.
The most noticeable change for this full-size pickup for 2002 is the tough, almost menacing appearance of its huge front end. A massive grille dominates the head-on view and truly causes other drivers to get out of the way when you close up behind them on the highway.
The ride is surprisingly smooth for a truck this size, and the handling is superb. It’s aided by a rack and pinion steering system, which is new to this model. The Ram feels very manoeuvrable, even around the city.
Our test model was equipped with 20-in. polished aluminum wheels, which give the truck a sharp appearance (17-in. wheels are standard). The new suspension allows for off-road tires up to 34-in. in diameter, the largest in the full-size pickup segment.
Inside, the passenger space is expansive. There’s even room for three rear seat passengers in the Quad Cab version we tested — and although headroom is adequate front and rear, it’s still a bit cramped in the rear, like in most crew cab pickups. All three rear-seating positions come with tether anchors for child safety seats, and they also are fitted for both the centre and passenger front seats on the Regular Cab model (where a passenger air bag cutoff switch is standard).
Dodge reports the interior of the regular cab model is the largest of any similar full-size pickup. A huge console — even larger than ever — features folding storage compartments and a power plug. It’s simply cavernous.
Controls for the radio and ventilation system are large and easy to use, and instruments are clear and easy to read.
One big advantage of the Quad Cab is its four full-size doors, with the rear doors hinged at the front so they open normally, making it easier to get in and out. Good thing, too, as it’s a big step up into the cab. You need to use the grab handles or grab the steering to haul yourself into the front seat. The rear doors open 85 degrees and their windows go down all the way, something that’s uncommon to see.
Although the rear seat backs force you into an upright position, they split and fold for extra storage space, and an optional steel section under the seat folds out to form a flat, sturdy load floor.
Despite the large hood and grille, the hood slopes enough to provide a clear view of the road ahead. Aerodynamics have been improved over the previous design to reduce wind noise, improve engine cooling and help channel water over the roof rather than around the side windows. It works, as noise inside the cabin is minimal when driving.
An option that is novel for a pickup is power adjustable accelerator and brake pedals, which allow shorter drivers to maintain a safe driving position, not too close to the steering wheel airbag. It’s ideal for a truck driven by several drivers. For the long-legged, the Ram claims to offer the longest front seat track travel in the industry.
The Ram is the first full-size pickup to offer optional side air bag curtains for front passengers in the Regular Cab model and front and rear passengers in the Quad Cab.
Extra space designed inside the passenger compartment in both regular and quad cab models results in a slightly shorter bed than before, at 6 ft 3 in. A long box at 8 ft is available on regular cab models. Payload capacity, depending on the configuration, can be up to 1750 lb. while the GVWR is 6650 lb. Towing capacity is up to 7400 lb. The cargo box features boat-cleat style tie-downs that are easy to use.
The base engine in the Ram is a 3.7-litre V6 producing 215 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. A 4.7-litre V8 is available, providing 235 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque at just 3200 rpm. There’s also a huge 5.9-litre V8 generating 245 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque at 3200 rpm in the order books.
The four-speed automatic transmission has an alternate second gear that kicks in for towing and climbing situations. A five-speed manual is offered as well.
The Ram 1500 comes in three equipment levels, from the base ST to the SLT and SLT Plus. A sport appearance group is available on the SLT models. Both two- and four-wheel drive versions are available in both regular and Quad Cab bodies.
For those who need even more carrying capacity than the 1500 offers, Ram 2500 three-quarter ton and Ram 3500 one-ton models will adopt the configuration of the 1500 when the newly designed heavy duty models are introduced for the 2003 model year this fall.
The base price for a Ram ST Regular Cab is $23,255, The Quad Cab in 4X4 trim with various option packages can rise to over $40,000. Still, when you compare prices with the competition, the Ram seems to be great value, is highly practical as a workhorse pickup, and is very nice to drive.
2002 Toyota Tundra
Many truck enthusiasts may not think that a Toyota could rank with the full-size pickup heavyweights from GMC, Ford and Dodge, but its new Tundra is right up there with the big boys in both payload and power.
The first thing you’ll notice if you drive a Tundra is the exceptionally smooth, very quiet ride. It’s the quietest pickup I’ve ever tested. Its ride is like a luxury SUV, not a cargo-hauling, high-capacity, half-ton pickup.
The front passenger seating is very comfortable, especially for a bench seat. The rear bench splits 60/40 and folds forward for carrying cargo inside. The rear seatback forces you into an uncomfortable upright position, however.
The instruments and controls raised no complaints, being both clear to read and easy to use.
Like its competitors, the Tundra comes in V6 and V8 models, in regular and extended cab versions, with two- or four-wheel drive transfer cases. One drawback of the extended Access Cab model is that the rear doors are hinged at the back and require the front doors to be opened first before they are released. However, they open wide and access is good.
The V6 is a 3.4-litre unit producing 190 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm. An optional V8 generates 245 hp and a generous 315 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm. Both are smooth-operating double overhead cam designs. The V8 I tested was quick and responsive.
Towing capacity can be as much as 7200 lb, almost matching the Dodge Ram. Its payload capacity is up to 1900 lb, depending on the configuration, more than the Ram offers. The Tundra’s capabilities in the cargo-hauling category are similar to its competitors, although the Big Three offer larger V8 options for applications where more torque and horsepower are required.
If you like the control of a standard transmission, you’ll have to look elsewhere, as the Tundra comes only with a four-speed automatic. However, it’s smooth shifting for those who don’t want to think about gearing. A floor-shifter is used to engage the part-time four-wheel drive system on models so equipped.
The short box is 6.4-ft long and the extended is 8 ft, as to be expected in this pickup category. There are four tie-down hooks in the box, but they are recessed and awkward to get rope through easily.
Prices range from $23,915 to over $40,000, depending on the configuration, which is reasonable for a vehicle you’d be happy to use for a comfortable weekend drive with the family and that also has the capabilities to tackle tough hauling jobs at work through the week.

Interesting that Tom Jurich, the University of Louisville athletic director, appeared to be supportive of Villanova becoming the 10th football member of the Big East Conference, telling Eric Crawford of the Courier-Journal:
“They’re already in the footprint of our league, and they’ve got a history with this league and done a lot of great things. For them, a lot of it is going to be logistics. … Villanova is a strong program right now. There’s a strong argument that they could finish in the middle of our league right now, at 63 scholarships.”
His observations coming at a time when just about everybody else seems to have written Villanova off as a viable candidate. On the other hand, Jurich indicates he likes the current composition of the league and the ability to balance football scheduling.
We are left to conclude that Jurich believes Villanova, with more creative planning and resource development, could still become a football member. And if further expansion were to occur, possibly only one other team would be needed, capping expansion at 11 football schools for scheduling purposes. Come to think of it, Jurich has never shared any thoughts about a conference championship game, which would require 12 schools.
The comments are all the more intriguing in light of Conference Commissioner John Marinatto’s recent comment that the conference’s expansion issues will be resolved by September 2012. Which would be remarkable, considering the way things have evolved at a snail’s pace thus far.
So many questions, so few answers forthcoming in such a brief period of time. Anytime someone in the conference does say anything about expansion, the issue becomes more clouded it seems.
Jurich is no exception, providing only enough insight into his thinking to keep people guessing about what he really knows or doesn’t know, or what he thinks is possible or realistic.
