Prime Minister Gaston Browne is hitting out at retirees who complain about the continued late payments of Social Security pensions.
During an Observer Radio interview on Thursday, November 5, Browne said the pensioners who are speaking out are motivated by partisan politics.
He also suggested that these persons were being ungrateful, while others were being appropriately thankful for being paid what is owed to them.
Late payment of Social-Security pensions had become the norm even before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Prime Minister blamed the situation on the closure of many businesses and the consequent drop in monthly contributions from the private sector.
Efforts are being made to normalize operations at the statutory corporation, Browne said. In the meantime, he claims to have recommended that the Scheme dialogue with the commercial banks in order to secure a moratorium on late-payment fees that pensioners are accruing.
The pensioners are being punished for complaining about late payment. If that money is ones only source of income then some are in dire straits . As at November 17th only ACB has received payments for pensioners. There is nothing political about the complaint for many just a genuine need for the monies they are entitled too.

Michigan Innocence Clinic client Kelvin Nolen was exonerated and released on December 19 after serving eight years for a murder he did not commit.
Nolen was convicted for the 2014 murder and robbery of a gas station clerk in Detroit. The crime was captured on store video, but the perpetrator’s face was obscured by his hoodie. The entire case against Nolen at trial came from his estranged sister’s testimony, who said that the man in the video could be Nolen, though she couldn’t be sure.
“There was literally no other evidence against him, but that statement was enough to send Mr. Nolen away for life without parole,” said David Moran, ’91, clinical professor of law and co-founder of the Michigan Innocence Clinic.
Nolen became the Michigan Innocence Clinic’s client in 2018, and some 13 student-attorneys worked to build Nolen’s case alongside Moran; the clinic’s co-director, Imran Syed, ‘11, a clinical assistant professor of law; and former forensic science attorney Mary Soo Anderson, ’15, who co-supervised the case with Moran.
The team presented three new pieces of evidence:
- Photogrammetric analysis from two professors of engineering who independently agreed that the perpetrator was three to four inches taller than Nolen, based on measurements of multiple landmarks in the store and the video of the perpetrator.
- An affidavit from a woman whom Nolen recognized in the store surveillance video. The woman had been in the store at the same time as the perpetrator, who committed the crime shortly after the woman left. The Michigan Innocence Clinic found the woman, who stated that she got a good look at the perpetrator. In fact, she tried to make eye contact with the clerk to warn him that the man in the hoodie was behaving suspiciously. Crucially, the woman confirmed that she knows Nolen and that he was not the man in the hoodie.
- An affidavit from Nolen’s sister in which she said the authorities had misrepresented what she said about whether her brother was the man in the video.
In February 2021, the Michigan Innocence Clinic filed a motion for relief from judgment in the trial court but agreed to put that motion on hold while presenting this new evidence to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU). After review, the CIU agreed to join the motion based on the first two pieces of new evidence listed above and to stipulate that Nolen’s convictions and sentences be vacated, that the charges be dismissed, and that he be released from custody immediately.
“I am thrilled that Kelvin Nolen’s conviction has been overturned and that he is with his family again,” Moran said. “Mr. Nolen owes his freedom to the hard work and dedication of our students, who took measurements at the store, tracked down the woman in the video, and met with Mr. Nolen’s estranged sister. I hope that the police and prosecution will reopen the case to see if they can determine who actually committed this terrible crime.”
Established in 2009, the Michigan Innocence Clinic is the first exclusively non-DNA innocence clinic in the country. Since its inception, the Michigan Innocence Clinic has successfully won the release of 36 men and women who had been wrongfully convicted of crimes and served anywhere from a few months to 46 years in prison.
The student-attorneys who worked on the case include alumni Caroline Howe, ’19, Amanda Kenner, ’19, Mary Novakovic, ’21, Taylour Boboltz, ’21, Philip Cho, ’21, Juan Mora, ’21, Ziv Ben-Shahar, ’22, and Allison Epshteyn, ’22, as well as current third-year students Riyah Basha and Saba Khan and current second-year students Reem Aburukba, Martin Greene, and Luis Ramos.
“They did terrific work, and they should be proud of the role they played in securing justice for Mr. Nolen,” Moran said, noting that he had exchanged celebratory emails with many alumni who had worked on the case, including the former student-attorneys who took the measurements in the store that facilitated the exculpatory photogrammetry analyses.
“Amanda [Kenner] and I started working on Mr. Nolen’s case in our last semester of law school, and while we were hopeful, we knew it would be an uphill battle to overturn his conviction,” said Howe, recalling the pair’s travel to the crime scene to take the critical measurements for the experts’ review. “This is truly the best news. ”
Said Moran, “These cases stick with our students after they graduate, so it’s an exciting moment for everyone to reach this kind of closure.”

Coastal Communities In Odisha To Be Made More Climate Resilient
Involve Communities In Preparation Of Livelihood Action Plan: Chief Secretary
Bhubaneswar: In a fresh initiative to enhance climate resilience of communities living in coastal areas, the Odisha government has decided to implement a community-based action plan from the current year.
The plan was discussed in a meeting of the Steering Committee of Integrated Coastal Management Society (ICZMS) held under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mahapatra on Monday.
Considering the different contours of the plan, the Chief Secretary directed the officials to focus on the regeneration of coastal eco-system, and promotion of climate resilient sustainable livelihood in the coastal communities.
The annual action plan should be prepared in consultation with the respective communities, he said, while directing the officials to prioritise the villages that generally face climate-induced calamities over the years.
It was decided at the meeting that steps will be taken to raise the density of mangrove forests and seagrass for enriching coastal ecosystem and reducing the impact of tidal surge and storm.
Mahapatra asked officials to explore all possible places for development of eco-tourism with boating and wildlife watching facilities.
It was decided to prepare the livelihood plan as per need of the people and potential the concerned areas.
Project Director ICZMS Sushanta Nanda informed that the interventions would be rolled out from the current year and completed by 2026-27.
An amount of Rs.261.50 crore would be invested. The main coastal landscapes to be treated under the project would include the areas like Talsari in Balasore district, Bhitarkanika in Kendrapada district, Bahuda and Chilika in Ganjam district, and Devi Mouth, Chilika in Puri district.
Around 3,75,321 hectares of coastal area spreading over 339 gram panchayats and five forest divisions would be included in it. The project would contribute to the ongoing efforts of the state government in addressing the impacts of climatic hazards and disasters on vulnerable coastal communities through popularisation of the climate adaptive livelihood activities.
Community-based organisations, NGOs, eco-clubs, women self-help groups (SHG) and local village communities would be involved in the planning, execution and carrying forward of the intervention, official sources added.

Ever since announcing a new reality show on A&E that would follow the lives of current KKK members, the network has received a lot of backlash. Now it looks like the show will still go on but it won’t be called Generation KKK anymore. Instead, in an attempt to calm the outrage over such a reality show, A&E has changed the titled of the show to Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America.
On Friday, A&E announced the change, hoping to squash some of the outrage that has built since television viewers learned of the upcoming show. The original intent of the show has anti-racist aspirations even though the original title made a lot of people wonder if A&E was going to glorify the racist group and shine a light on the KKK, allowing them to take in more members.
So, they changed the title to Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America. A&E has a lot of $… https://t.co/ACvYdVj3C2
— ダリル ワートン (@whartonrigby) December 24, 2016
“In consultation with our partners at the ADL [Anti-Defamation League] and Color of Change, the network is changing the name of the show to ensure that no one can mistake its intent and that the title alone does not serve to normalize the Klan,” A&E said in a statement. “The new title: Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America better reflects our longstanding intention and the content itself.”
According to Salon, the new A&E show Escaping the KKK will focus on the mothers and children of the Klan who are trying to escape the group and lead normal lives. According to the report, the new reality show will follow the lives of anti-racism activists Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Arno Michaelis, and Bryon Widner. The new A&E stars will be confronting the patriarchs of families who want to leave the Klan to try and talk them into leaving or at least convince them not to indoctrinate their children into the KKK culture.
A&E didn’t just change the title of the show in order to get a handle on the outrage over their newest offering. They are also now partnered with Color of Change, an African-American civil rights group. They are also working with the Anti-Defamation League. As part of their new agreement with Color of Change, content will be shown between the segments from civil rights leaders to help explain and add context to the content within the show.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President & General Manager of A&E and Lifetime, said the goal of the series is ” to expose and combat racism and hatred in all its forms.” Escaping the KKK is not about glorifying hate groups in America.
A&E title change: “Generation KKK” to “Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America.” Good move! https://t.co/P2dAnDvzNT
— Carole Myers (@CaroleMyers) December 24, 2016
Their intentions were actually quite the opposite and they are working to expose what is going on with these underground groups and to help those who want to get out to do just that. It just wasn’t all that obvious with the original title Generation KKK and now there is a huge mess to clean up after a lot of people got upset and threatened to boycott not only the show but to boycott the entire A&E network because of it.
Now that A&E has made their goals clear with Escaping the KKK, they are hoping more people will be willing to tune in and give it a shot. They are also planning another project, a town hall discussion meant to bring about even more dialog. A&E is also working with the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change to develop viewer guides and even an education curriculum to accompany Escaping the KKK.
Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America is an 8-part docuseries that will debut on A&E on Jan. 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Infrastructure and Jobs
Investing in our infrastructure has historically been a non-partisan issue. However, in recent years, Congress’ investment in addressing America’s crumbling infrastructure has been pathetically weak. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives our infrastructure a D+ grade and the World Economic Forum ranks America 24th in infrastructure. Transportation for America estimates that there are 63,000 structurally deficient bridges in the United States – 2088 in New York State and 99 in Western New York alone. Brian has consistently called on Congress to make a bold investment in nation building right here at home. In 2012 he introduced the Nation Building Here at Home Act , which would have invested $1.2 trillion over five years to rebuild our infrastructure, with the potential to create 27 million jobs and reduce unemployment to 5.6 percent.
More on Infrastructure and Jobs
Congressman Brian Higgins, Vice Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee, called the GOP tax bill a “hit on fundamental fairness” before casting vote against the tax package.
Higgins repeatedly expressed concern that the legislation pays for tax benefits for wealthy corporations at the expense of hardworking Americans and communities like Western New York.
WASHINGTON – Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26), Vice Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee, joined Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05), Vice Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, in hosting a forum focusing on ways that Congress can create economic opportunity in communities like Western New York. The forum included discussion centered around ways to better align local, state and federal policies with the unique challenges facing older, industrial communities.
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26), economic development leaders, preservationists and others advancing adaptive reuse of Western New York’s historic properties, came together to stress the critical importance of maintaining federal Historic Tax Credits (HTC). Higgins serves as Vice Ranking Member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, which oversees tax policy and will debate tax reform in the months ahead. Historic Tax Credits were not included in the tax reform packages recently proposed by the Majority in the House and Senate.
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) marked the opening of the new Bailey Avenue Bridges, crossing Cazenovia Creek and the Buffalo River. The $22 million infrastructure project, which includes over $15 million in federal funding, is the largest public works project currently underway in the City of Buffalo.
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) are supporting the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority’s (NFTA) application for a $16.3 million federal grant through the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program to complete the DL&W Station project.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and Congressman Brian Higgins today announced work is complete on a $15 million project to rehabilitate the entire length of the crosswind runway at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The pavement project also includes new runway edge lights and guidance signs. The work covered 7,161 feet, the runway's entire length.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the transformation of the new Buffalo Harbor State Park, the City of Buffalo's first state park, is now complete. New York State purchased the once neglected property in 2013 and immediately invested $15 million across 3 phases to remediate the brownfield and transform all 190 acres into a vibrant state park. Today, more than 240,000 people visit the park annually.
Buffalo, New York – Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper, Congressman Brian Higgins and state and federal partners provided an up close look today on the quickly progressing habitat restoration at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (NYSDEC) Ohio Street Boat Launch. Through the investment of Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) funding, this popular park is being enhanced to include improved wildlife habitat and public access to the Buffalo River along the Ohio Street Corridor.
Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) joined his colleagues on the House Ways and Means Committee for a bipartisan meeting with Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss binational collaboration as conversations continue related to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) announced federal grants totaling $356,000 to support the growth of small businesses and jobs in Western New York. The federal funding is allocated through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund). The mission of the CDFI program is to increase economic opportunity and community development for underserved populations in distressed communities.

In this video, Dallas Morning News writer Dr. Seema Yasmin gets a tour of one of the Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas isolation rooms. It’s one of the rooms that would likely be utilized should a patient with Ebola-like symptoms ever be treated there.
John Garrett, M.D., medical director of emergency management for Baylor Scott & White Health, provided the tour and answered some key questions about the hospital’s preparations for a potential Ebola patient.
Dr. Yasmin reported in Friday’s News that such bare-bones, nondescript isolation rooms “could make all the difference in the fight against the Ebola virus.”
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital is currently treating the first person diagnosed with Ebola while in America.
The story quotes both Dr. Garrett and Cristie Columbus, M.D., the assistant medical director for epidemiology and infection control and prevention for Baylor Scott & White Health — North Texas division.
According to Dr. Columbus, such isolation rooms are regularly used to treat patients with tuberculosis and other infectious diseases.
At most U.S. hospitals, she said, “the equipment and structure of those isolation rooms is already set up to deal with a communicable disease like Ebola.”
Dr. Garrett said he has been preparing his staff in case an Ebola patient arrives at Baylor Dallas.
“Everyone is on high alert,” he told The News. “We know that a possible contact of the case could walk through our doors.”
At Baylor Dallas, patients have been screened for Ebola since Aug. 4. In light of the Presbyterian Hospital case, “We’re casting an ever wider net,” Dr. Garrett said. “Now we ask, ‘Have you been to any country in Africa?’”


Abandoned four wheeler connected to a man who went missing in 2017 – Body Also Found.
It was quite the discovery last weekend for a group of ATVers out on a ride who ended up finding the four wheeler belong to a man who has been missing for four years.
Paul Yelland, who was 68 at the time he went missing, was last seen Oct. 23, 2017, in the area of Beaver Lake near Watabeag Lake. It’s a remote area west of Kirkland Lake.
At the time of his disappearance, Ontario Provincial Police said he was “possibly operating a red 2006 Honda TRX four wheeler with the Ontario License plate RT758.”
Glenn Waldron said he was just out for a regular trail ride last Friday with his daughter, her boyfriend and his other daughter’s boyfriend when they decided to go down an overgrown trail.
“All of a sudden we had to stop to cut a tree and my daughter’s boyfriend happened to look up and here’s an ATV sitting there up against a log,” said Waldron, who found the vehicle.
“So he figured it was the guy’s bike for sure. But when we got to the bike, it had a license plate on it and it matched for the missing person from Watabeag. So then we found his helmet just a little ways from the bike.”
After confirming the bike matched the license plate that was connected to Yelland, the group called 911.
“The next day four police officers showed up with their ATVs and I said ‘well we’ve got to go out back the same way we came out,’” Waldron said.
“So we started in there and it was getting rough and then it started raining, and as we were going we come across another tree that had to be cut and everybody was stopped.”
At that point, he said one of the officers looked beside his ATV and saw something on the ground.
“So he got off his bike and moved all the brush,” he said.
Waldron said the officer found human remains on the side of the trail, about 700 metres from where the four-wheeler was found.
CTV News has not been able to confirm with OPP if the remains found are Paul Yelland. But on Monday, OPP confirmed human remains had been discovered in a “very desolate area” in the northwest section of the Kirkland Lake OPP detachment area.
The investigation is ongoing, police added.

Accumulator Adjuster Programs
Many in the bleeding disorders community rely on patient copay assistance programs to help defray the out-of-pocket (OOP) cost of their prescription drugs. Unfortunately, health insurers increasingly are refusing to credit copay assistance toward patients’ deductibles and OOP maximums. Health plan policies called copay accumulator adjustments no longer count financial assistance toward the patient’s annual deductibles or their out-of-pocket maximum. In addition, a loophole in the Affordable Care Act allows many employer-sponsored health plans to deem certain critical and life-saving prescription drugs as “non-essential,” which significantly increases out-of-pocket costs for patients.
WHAT IS BEING DONE
To date, twelve states and one territory (AZ, AR, CT, GA, IL, KY, LA, NC, OK, PR, TN, VA, WV) have passed laws prohibiting or limiting the use of accumulator adjusters for all individual and small group plans.
On November 2, 2021 the Help Ensure Lower Patient Copays Act (HELP Copays Act), sponsored by Representatives Donald McEachin (D-VA), Rodney Davis (R-IL), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Bobby Rush (D-IL), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Marc Veasey (D-TX), Buddy Carter (R-GA), and Barbara Lee (D-CA) was introduced. The bipartisan HELP Copays Act (HR 5801) requires health plans to count the value of copay assistance toward patient cost-sharing requirements. This would bring much-needed relief to financially vulnerable patients by ensuring that all payments—whether they come directly out of a patient’s pocket or with the help of copay assistance—count towards their out-of-pocket costs.

Treat me nice. Do not tumble dry. Hand wash only.


As we rang in the new year last week, we also waved goodbye to 2021. Under the sounds of cheering, fireworks, and the classic Auld Lang Syne – it was hard not to feel a little hesitation amongst the hope.
We’re two years into pandemic life and it’s easy to make a list of what we miss the most or to ponder what a return to “normal” will look like. Yes, 2021 threw a lot of curveballs, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t aspects worth celebrating.
During New Years Eve, I reflected and celebrated the progress we’ve collectively made in 2021 – at home and in the workplace.
Mental health discussions are now mainstream.
In 2021, the importance of mental health finally began to receive the attention it needed. Role models like athletes and entrepreneurs shared their stories and treatment plans. Leaders were called to lead with empathy and grace after realizing that many of their employees and families are experiencing challenges and fallout from pandemic times. Months of Zoom calls and work-from-home has illuminated that, under everything, we’re all just human and we’re all doing the best we can.
Workplace flexibility has gone mainstream.
I never thought I would see the day that companies would survey and employees would feel confident and secure in sharing that they want and need life flexibility. This is common sense. This has business merit. This is good for the environment- less commute time, less people on the road, smaller business footprints. And of course parents are seeing more of their kids. Being home for repairs, sick kids, and errands reduces stress and improves quality of life.
The economy and the year of the consumer
I never thought of myself as much of a logistics expert, yet 2021 seems to have made all of us act like it. Our economy has roared back to life. GDP, a measure of our economy, set records going back to post World War times. Why? We keep buying things. This is a double-edged sword. Do we really need all of the clothes, electronics and shoes that we buy? Lets face it, there is a good case to be made that by overbuying we broke the supply chain. But, the beauty of a simplified life is a topic for another article.
Communities came together.
2020 was a hard year. It replaced in-person gatherings with virtual connections that quickly left us feeling like we were missing a core part of the human experience. 2021 brought all of us back together. Life events as small as seeing our local Christmas parade and neighborhood light show created some much needed normalcy and holiday spirit. All across the country, communities have adapted, modified, masked up and carried on – together.
Technology makes it easier (and safer) than ever to connect.
The topic of workforce flexibility has triggered a tidal wave of new thinking- technology gains and human resources ideas, training and policies that put a focus on how to best work-from-home in a way that supports the important interpersonal aspect of work. My favorite tech tool of the year is Loom – asynchronous videos that are easy to shoot, edit, send, and track participants.
We’ve made strides in championing Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.
I had the pleasure of being a signatory with CEO Action Pledge, an organization run by PWC with participation from a growing number of Fortune 100 companies and this year many companies that employee 200 and up. The goal is awareness and education, and for me, becoming aware of the influence I can have on the topic and the culture I can shape by making DEI a business objective.

Santa & Cyril the Elf
**** buy this pattern with Rudy & Robin for just $5 - that's 4 critters for your tree****
This pattern is for both Santa & Cyril, they are both very similar except Santa makes use of a loop stitch. I have used a horrid slippery eyelash yarn for his beard which looks great but is really fiddly to do! I've included full photographs and instructions for the loop stitch that I've used which isn't too tricky and makes a nice change from the usual single crochet and the eyelash yarn could be substituted for something else white and beardy if you have it to hand.
N.B. I’ve used ‘American’ crochet terminology in this pattern.
This pattern uses:
adjustable ring starting method
Working in the round
Single crochet (sc)
Half double crochet (hdc)
Double crochet (dc)
Slip stitch (SlSt)
loop stitch - instructions included
You will need:
Mostly just scrap

A low performance oddity
Hmm. The engine became so worn that it couldn't drag the heavy little body up hills except with a run-up.
Replacing the babbit (poured) main bearings meant a line boring job, but replacing the valves was a breeze, the head was just a little cast plate, and there was no water pump or oil filter to worry about.
This car was advertised in the brochure still in the glove box when I bought it as a 'double entrance saloon', with exceptionally light controls and ideal for ladies to drive. They must have been giantesses in those days.
The car was seriously slow, and the beam axles and transverse springs (same as the Model T) made for exhilarating cornering.
I tipped it on its side one night, with five of us in it, and we climbed out, and set her up straight again, with only a little gravel rash on the fenders and oil leaking from the oil bath air-filter to show for it.
An odd little car, complete with an enormous valve radio and laminated windows all round.
All bakelite inside, and built like a little battleship.
An interesting stage of an automobile rake's progress.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The Last 15, The Next 15
That worked out well, last night’s trouncing of the Boston Bruins at Verizon Center. The Caps got secondary scoring (maybe even third-ary scoring), they exorcised the Tim Thomas demons that have plagued them for a few seasons now, and Alex Ovechkin reached a big milestone in front of the home folks, doing so with his usual blend of verve and panache. The crowd was large and loud, and the Caps came away with a pair of desperately needed points.
They’ve got 70 now, matching the total of each of the last two seasons, and there are 15 games remaining with which to pad that sum. Last night proved to be a great start to what some of us believe is a crucial week in this stretch drive. Corey Masisak and I were discussing this week’s slate before last night’s game. It’s a daunting one, with four games in seven days, but as Corey and I were noting, it’s mostly made daunting by the Caps’ recent history against this week’s foes. Prior to last night, the Bruins and Sabres were the only Eastern Conference teams the Caps had not defeated this season, and Washington crossed Boston off that list on Monday. Buffalo, Boston and Pittsburgh are the next three opponents, and even with last night’s win, the Caps are a combined 6-19-7 against those three teams since the lockout ended.
We still don’t know how many points will be required to squeak into the playoffs, but that Carolina disappearance that some pundits predicted after Rod Brind’Amour’s knee injury has yet to materialize. Carolina has won four of its last five and is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games. The Hurricanes are sixth in the league in scoring with an average of 2.97 goals per game. They’ve averaged 3.5 goals per game in the eight games since Brind’Amour’s injury.
Carolina has allowed the fourth highest number of goals in the league this season at 3.1 per game. Since Brind’Amour’s injury however, they’ve allowed 2.88 goals per game. In their last six games, the Canes have surrendered only 2.33 goals per game. The Hurricanes are in action tonight against the lame-duck Thrashers (0-4-3 in their last seven), so the Capitals can’t expect much help.
The Caps are eighth in the league in goals scored with an average of 2.91 per contest. Washington is 24th in goals against, giving up 2.96 goals per game. While Washington’s recent offensive explosion has been very noticeable (scoring 10 goals in a game will draw some attention), the Caps have quietly gotten much better at the other end of the ice, too. And not just in the few games since goaltender Cristobal Huet’s arrival.
Since surrendering a six-pack to Carolina in the last meeting between the two teams on Feb. 23, the Caps have allowed just eight goals in five games. Washington has allowed just 36 goals in its last 15 games, a rate of just 2.4 goals per game. Discounting empty-net tallies, the aforementioned Carolina game is the only one in the last 15 in which Washington has allowed more than three goals. Prior to the last 15 games, the Caps had surrendered an average of 3.12 goals per game. That’s almost 25% fewer goals allowed during that span, a fairly significant amount.
The Sabres will provide a strong test to the Caps’ recently minted defensive mettle tomorrow. Buffalo has nicked the Caps for 51 goals in 11 games (4.64 goals per game) against Washington since the lockout, forging a 9-2 record against the Caps in the process.
Let’s hope the improved team defense (noted above), the improved penalty kill (84.2% in the last 15 games) and the improved power play (24.1%) in the last 15 games combines to put the Caps in the win column against the Sabres. Even without the departed Chris Drury and Daniel Briere, the Sabres are averaging three goals a game this season, the fifth most in the league.
If Washington had allowed 2.4 goals per game, had a penalty killing outfit at 84.2% and had a power play unit clicking at 24.1% over a full season, it would rank fifth, seventh and second, respectively in those three categories.
With all that good stuff going on, you’d figure the Caps for better than the 7-5-3 they’ve managed over those frequently referenced previous 15 games. Hopefully, the 3-1-1 mark in their last five is more indicative of what we can expect over the next — and last — 15 games of the season. I’m guessing a 7-5-3 mark over their next 15 games won’t be enough to propel the Caps into the playoffs.

We made a short three-night trip to Mustique for the long weekend. The island holds a certain allure as being exclusive. After all, it was the only Caribbean island that had been “closed” for a time this winter – this on account of a visit by the British Royals, William and Catherine. The island has close ties to its British roots, and seems to have the pedigree to match.
Buying fish straight from the fishermen: the fish are cleaned, weighed, and bought by the fishmonger at one end of the counter, and sold to us at the other end.
Mustique is the cleanest island we’ve been to in the Caribbean so far, with Saba a close second.

The tragedy of ELLIOTT SMITH’s 2003 suicide underscores every note of FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL (Anti). Smith made a trio of smart, overlooked indie releases prior to his Oscar-nominated song in the film Good Will Hunting, which launched the career of the Dallas-raised pop singer into the mainstream. Wrapping his frail voice around pained, beautiful melodies, Smith sang songs that weren’t confessional but obtuse. There are no clues here as to what went wrong, and this album, finished by friends, is not among his best work. Looking for ways out of his dreamlike, quiet mold, Smith ends up with disconnected, ill-fitting production. His overall vision may well have been leading to a grand, unexpected destination, but sadly, this version of From a Basement is the only road map this rare talent left behind.


Call To Action – Save The Eagle Tavern!
San Francisco has been getting a nasty rep for losing its edge for a while now, and with only 49 some square miles of land to occupy it’s not hard to see how things can get a little homogenous with the right variables at play. Of these, one be the urban property sitch. Landlords still wield more power than they’d like to admit and when it comes to commercial space, there isn’t much that protects businesses, no matter how long they’ve been there. Bars come and go in this town, but a handful goes on to become institutions that francisqueños cherish as equally as sunny days and getting trashed on Sunday afternoons.
The Eagle has been providing many a sleazy variation on all of these components for decades, but that shall come to an end at the finish of April if all goes according to plan. The new property owner has given the management of the bar two weeks to clear out, so as to make way for everything from condos to a more mainstream establishment, according to rumours. (Yay! More metallic boxes are precisely what South of Market needs!) Also, I imagine space must be at a premium these days, what with all that tax shelter business going on.
The bar business is a bizarre and rather insular world, so there is probably a lot more going on here than what‘s readily apparent, but it would be awful if the Eagle had to join its fabled ilk in that special corner of the city’s elephant graveyard set aside for the dirty, weird and wonderful that made this city what it once was.
If you’d like to chime in what you think should happen to this treasure trove of bikers, bands, beers and queers or maybe just get a little more info on what the hell is going on, show up tomorrow (04/11/11) at the bar where SoMa’s own Anna Conda has thrown together an impromptu call to action meeting.
Seriously, though, for a city fond of blasting the banal expanses that carpet the southern floodplains of our fair state, this city is getting awfully fond of all things monochromatic. What happened to all that end of the rainbow/freaks at the edge-of-the-world malarkey, anyway?SAVE the Eagle!

Martinez tipped for Everton exit as Laudrup looms large
Roberto Martinez may be facing an uncertain future at Goodison Park, if the latest Ladbrokes odds are to be believed.
The Everton manager has become fourth-favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post at 10/1 while the Spaniard is also 11/4 to leave the club in the summer.
It follows a 2-0 loss to Stoke in the Premier League that has left the Toffees dangerously close to becoming embroiled in a relegation dogfight.
Everton had started the season as 125/1 outsiders to drop down into the Championship this term but the Blues are now just 10/1 to go down with the bookmaker.
But with the Toffees still in Europa League contention, a price of 500/1 is also being offered on Martinez winning the trophy but taking the Merseysiders down to the second tier this term.
A replacement may already be waiting in the wings with former Swansea manager Michael Laudrup the 8/1 favourite to step into the Everton hotseat.
Club favourites Alan Stubbs and Duncan Ferguson are also in contention at 10/1 and 12/1 respectively with Vitor Perreira and Thomas Tuchel both 14/1.
A Ladbrokes spokesperson said: “The odds suggest that Martinez’s pursuit of Europa League glory could come at a heavy price for both the manager and club.”
Everton are next in action against Dynamo Kyiv next week, with the Toffees in Premier League action on the following Sunday when they are due to host Newcastle United at Goodison Park.

Canon 28-105mm f3.5/4.5 lens
I recently purchase a new Canon Rebel XTi and after researching I decided I want to go with the Canon 28-105mm lens. I think this lens will fit my budget and experience with digital photography very well. Before I purchase this lens I need help finding a vendor that sell the specific model type for this lens. After reading an article about this lens I found out that buying this lens on Ebay can be risky. Can I purchase the Canon 28-105 Mark II Made in Japan lens from an online vendor? If so please link me. It must be made in Japan and not the Taiwan version. Thank you!

It has often been said that falling in love is one of the best feelings in the world. It can take over a person's life—they become enamored with the other person and everything just seems better because of the love they share. Is there a difference between this initial love and the love that a couple that have been married for 50 years shares?
Italian scientists believe there is. Researchers at the University of Pavia say that a chemical is responsible for the first rush of love. They found that raised levels of protein were to thank for the feelings of euphoria that those in love experience.
The scientists found that these levels went down over time though when they studied couples that were in long-term relationships. Specifically, these levels went down after one year in the relationship. These findings do not mean that the couple is no longer in love but rather that the love is not so acute.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Tempe police held a press conference on Wednesday honoring two Good Samaritans who stepped in to stop a sexual assault at Kiwanis Park in Tempe on Saturday.
The suspect, who has been identified as 30-year-old Kevin Caballero, was seen pushing the 71-year-old victim to the ground and attempting to remove the woman's pants, police said.
Two men intervened in the attack and detained the suspect until police could arrive.
"If not for the swift actions of Mr. Justin Herron and Mr. Murry Rogers, this vicious attack could've been much worse," Tempe police Det. Natalie Barela said.
Justin Herron is an offensive tackle for the New England Patriots and is in Arizona for offseason training. Murry Rogers is a Phoenix resident who happened to be in the park that day. Neither knew the victim prior to the incident.
The Tempe Police Department presented Rogers and Herron with Outstanding Service Awards on Wednesday.
Herron said he heard screaming that made him aware of what was going on and said he knew at the moment that he had to get over there.
"At that moment, I was in shock," Herron said. "It was 11 a.m., middle of the day, in a very open field and the fact that it happened there at that time was just very shocking. I wish I could tell you what I was thinking, but I could just tell someone needed help. All I could do was rush myself over there to make sure I could help the victim and I could comfort her and be the best person I can be."
Herron is an offensive lineman for the Patriots, who stands at 6-foot-5 and nearly 300 pounds.
"I'm a football player, I'm kind of big. I try not to be too aggressive with people knowing I could potentially hurt somebody," Herron said. "I do have a loud voice. I yelled, told him to get off of her and then yanked him off and I told him to sit down and I told him to wait until the cops come."
When asked if he had any experience in crisis situations, Herron said no, but his parents raised him to help people in need.
"My parents always talked to me about it, if there's someone in need, make sure you can help them and be the best you can be," Herron said. "I don't want this to happen again, I don't want to have to save someone else's life again, but I'm glad I was able to save someone's life on Saturday."
Herron and Rogers met with the victim again this week. Herron said it was heartwarming to see her, but gut-wrenching to see the trauma she is dealing with.
"Nobody should have to go through that," he said.
Rogers said he happened to be there to help because he was at the park earlier that morning reserving a spot for his 15-year-old's birthday party.
He said, like Herron, he couldn't believe what he was witnessing.
Rogers said he and Herron ran toward what was happening screaming for the attacker to get off of the woman.
"After he got off of her, we looked at each other and said we need to make sure he doesn't go anywhere," Rogers said.
Rogers said he wanted to give Herron credit for taking the victim aside and removing her from the area where the attacker was.
Rogers said it was very emotional seeing the victim again this week.
"Over the past several days, I have thought about her and pictured her face, so it was really nice moment, and I'm really glad I got to meet her."
Rogers said the victim called him and Herron "her angels."
The two good Samaritans don’t see themselves as heroes, but their thoughts are with the victim who suffered minor injuries and is said to be doing well while dealing with the emotional trauma.
“We’re there for her. We’re always praying and thinking about her, and I just wish her the best,” said Rogers.
“If someone needs your help, go help them. I never thought this would happen, and I don’t want it to happen again,” said Herron.
Officers said the Tempe Police Department Special Victims Unit is working with other agencies in the Valley to determine if there are any other incidents Caballero may have been involved in.

Counterintelligence history has too often relied on a “wilderness of mirrors” trope, which suggests that the discipline is driven by personalities and self-delusion. Using the newly available Vassiliev notebooks and other sources, this article takes a closer look at the historical evolution of U.S. and Soviet counterintelligence as they developed and changed tactics in response to a changing world and the evolving actions of their opponents. Although blind at times to one another, they moved—especially on the American side—toward greater clarity of the opponent and a more complex approach to counterintelligence, driven by real-world experience and a growing knowledge of the threat posed by the other side.

Daily Mail & General Trust will announce its full-year results on 25 November, and traders are expecting sales to have increased up to £1.836 billion from last year’s £1.811 billion. At the same time the company’s EPS is due to edge higher from £0,557 up to £0.566. This, however, will not prevent its full-year pre-tax profits from dropping down to £255.54 million, a 4.29% drop from last year’s figures.
As with so many companies with exposure in the print media arena, this has been another year of cost-cutting and asset stripping. The most recent sale DMGT is overseeing is the disposal of its 38.7% stake in Local World Holdings Ltd to Trinity Mirror for a proposed fee of £220 million.
DMGT’s Mail online still maintains its status as the most visited newspaper website as it continues hold the New York Times challenge at bay. Not all of its papers have been as able to translate online readership numbers into financial viable operations. The latest news that The Sun newspaper will backtrack on its two-year venture to protect its online content behind a paywall shows how difficult this balancing act can be.
So far 2015 has proven to be a successful one for Zoopla the online property website as its shares are currently up 20% year to date, and DMGT still retain a 32% stake in the £1 billion company.
Institutional analysts’ expectations for DMGT appear somewhat mixed with seven buys and seven holds of the 16 firms following the company. The average twelve-month price target for the company is 873p, offering a healthy 19.7% premium from the current share price for the firm.
The rally seen throughout the first half of 2015 has come undone in a big way, with DMGT shares now trading 26% lower than the July peak of £9.89. Price action throughout October was largely rangebound, with the price rotating between £7.77 and £7.27. However, the push higher earlier this month is now in danger of looking like a fake-out, with the price attempting to break below £7.27. A close below £7.27 would point towards a move back to £7.00, which has major bearish repercussions if broken given that it represents the neckline of a long-term double top.
While £7.27 is important, the real level to watch is at £7.00, which could either spark a resurgence or if broken could lead to yet another strong move lower towards £6.00 support. For this chart to start looking bullish once more, the price would have to turn higher above £7.00 and move through £7.89 once more. This would subsequently look towards £8.39 as the next resistance level.

i quite like that one actually...
nice flash Dave, keep it up, and submit more of you stuff to youtube! the world should see this.
I'm a massive fan of yours, and I was ecstatic when I saw this released on the front page. The one line "Analysis: You Are Ill" is the best line in any flash movie I've ever seen. I re watched this about 20 times, and man the way you say that line is something else. I'm still wondering if you plan on making any more "Burnt Face Man" episodes, which is my favorite series you've made. I sincerely hope one day you are offered some kind of animation deal so you can share your mind with the world. If there is one flash animator I'd watch on TV, it would be you.
I will be waiting impatiently for your next planned flash release. Thank you for making so many animations that appeal to me in a way that none other have. Your mind is a beautiful thing.
Your as amazing as you always are, David Firth!
I loved that movie as much as everything else you did!
that was okay
that was an okay movie, but it didn't appeal to me as funny, it was just weird.. oherwise the animations was Great and voice's too..
as usualy you bring a surreal feeling to the whole thing while keeping it funny.

More than a dozen arrests after Bramford crime spree

More than a dozen teenagers have been arrested after a crime spree in Bramford.
Police have said at least 13 suspects have been detained and interviewed following a series of low-level offences in the village over the past two or three weeks.
These include criminal damage and burglaries.
Suffolk Constabulary has stressed that not all of those who were taken into custody and questioned are still under arrest.
However, a spokeswoman for the constabulary said at least seven are and they are currently on bail, pending further enquiries. Their ages range from 14 to 18.
Several incidents, which were being treated as arson, occurred around the middle of September.
St Mary the Virgin Church in Church Green sustained damage to the inside of the premises on September 15 when seating and a carpet were drenched after a water fire extinguisher was set off.

The following day there was damage to the inside of a club in Acton Road after it was broken into.
Between September 18 and September 21 a car was vandalised with spray paint in The Street.
In another incident between September 20 and 21 the top of a hedge was sawn off.
On September 20 between 10pm and 10.30pm a locked workshop was broken into and a car inside had one of its windows smashed.
Crime scene investigators were said to have found forensic evidence during their investigations.
By last Thursday the number of arrests made by the Safer Neighbourhood Team which covers the village was up to seven.
By Sunday the number had risen yet again, with a total of 13 people being detained over a six-day period on suspicion of involvement in some or many of the crimes.
Anne-Marie Breach, a spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary, said: “We are investigating a series of incidents of criminal damage and burglary in Bramford and have made a number of arrests. Enquiries are continuing.”
One of those released on police bail must report back on October 25, while others have been bailed until the middle of November.
Anyone who has information which could help the police investigation should telephone 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
