His comment was pretty pervy. He's old though, what are you gonna do.
Where they get drafted is one thing. What they do when they get there is completely another topic. For how the Ducks are composed, Manson serves a bigger need than Theo. He showed sigificant improvement past season and plays with the right amount of edge and physicality.
We need to rescue Perron.
With the cap space now available I will be very happy with perron AND eaves. They both have good chemistry and we can keep out defense intact for another run. Plus we just added potentially 40 goals between them.
And if Perry and Vats are back to normal, the ducks could be adding another 60 goals to their roster next season combined. And since I'm greedy, we sign bonino as our 3c and all the sudden we are very deep on paper ?
I haven't crunched the numbers yet but might as well go all in while having despres, stoner and bernier off the books. No significant contracts coming up, perron with two more years with Bieksa and Vermette coming off the books in one allows us to slowly bring in the youth and re-sign fowler and can flip Vats at any time.
to start the season with Vats out longer. But the ducks very well could be an absolute force this year if cards are played right. But alas this is just my pipe dream.
If you look only ad ED, it was a good move and I happy they don't give an other high draft pick as CBJ, PiTS or NYI did it.
but as AustinDuck27 said, it was a little lack of pre-ED-work.
If you trade Vatanen for a forward, who will miss the half next season, and Bieksa waived his NTC, Manson would be protected and the traded Forward also would be protected instead of Vermette.
who are our defenders to start the season?
Fowler, Montour, Manson, Bieksa and I think Larson will be the 5th, but who is the 6th? imagine an other injury... so we have to sign a BU-Goalie, at least 1 defender and 1-2 Forward (Eaves and if ist possible a scorer)..
now we have no depth in offense and no depth in defense... thats the bad news after the ED.
Lindholm isn't expected to miss much of the season. Vats is the one with the more serious injury by all accounts.
You're right that we lost some depth, but I think it was a foregone conclusion that Despres had already played his last game for Anaheim, and Stoner was either gone this off-season or next. Really the only depth piece we lost is Theodore.
We still have kids coming up through the system that are going to be good in a few years, we just might not have the same immediate depth that we did before.
The point about there being very few trading partners before the draft for Vats has been beaten to death already.
"He wanted to come here," McPhee told the Vegas fans Wednesday, drawing cheers. "He kept letting us know that he wanted to come here. And so Pittsburgh made sure that it happened. They gave us a pick to make sure it happened, and it was going to happen anyway."
Why would you give them a pick if it was gonna happen anyway??? Come on now, this isn't kindergarden. I wouldn't be surprised Fleury is gone at the Draft, after July 1st or the TDL. And half of the players they selected, too. Theo's gonna stick, though. Still, a smaller price to pay to get done with this horrible affair, Bob did good.
I'll just supplement the above by saying that trading Vats at any time that it could have happened prior to the ED would have been much worse for the team. If there's even a 50-50 chance that Vats gets healthy and plays like his better self for us starting in December, then trading Theo for that chance was a solid, solid move.
And, Stoner isn't chump change. If Stoner could have upped his game a bit, imagine how imposing it would have been to have him and Manson on a D-line? Sheesh. Still, we did pretty well without him last season, and the extra cap space is very welcome.
BM still has some work to do to use that cap space to fill some holes THIS season, and to lock in some players going forward, but while there might be some ideal choice selection that would have made you happier for the team's prospects, I think if you measure BM's results this ED against ANY of the other GMs, on paper at least, he's probably at least in the top 5. I bet the other GMs would rank him very high as well.
If you look at your own best/ideal trade scenario, at least take a few seconds to evaluate whether your expected trade partner would have really allowed you to consummate the trade you wanted; take a few seconds to see if the trade partner had the protection space and the cap and the desire (were they conference or division competitors?) and everything else lined up to do the trade.
And, frankly, if you're lumping Despres into this evaluation of BM, a player whose disposition was pretty much determined BEFORE there was any talk of an ED, then you're really just saying you don't like BM based on your perception of his career track record, and not really focusing on the ED (or, really, on the team's performance relative to most of the rest of the league over the past few years).
If Theo turns into a tall Scott Neidermeyer 2 seasons from now, then rather than think badly of BM, I'll probably just think that Theo was placed in a better environment at LV and was allowed or was trained to become the type of player he wasn't making progress on while a Duck. Team needs and a player's skill need to match up for magic like Neidermeyer to happen. Once it does happen, the best players can carry that magic with them from team to team, but it has to be nurtured, and based on Theo's development last year (which wasn't all negative by any means), his magic wasn't being properly nurtured here. It didn't help that he was bouncing up and down as much as he was, but that was part of what the team needed.
I feel like you and I have been alone on an island with regard to this point, Fisix. There's a reason there were almost no trades that involved player-for-player prior to the ED. Deals like that are already extremely difficult in the cap era. Add in the crazy ED/exposure requirements, and now we hear that teams were bound by an agreement with GMGM that if they struck a deal prior to the ED with Vegas that they wouldn't make ANY other moves that might impact who Vegas could/would select in the ED. Meaning that if a team struck a deal with Vegas to protect one of their own players, they couldn't later make a trade for a player from another team, because that would affect who the other team exposed. The ripple effect of that alone probably killed off any remaining chance of a trade. And it didn't help that the league set a deadline of June 12th for asking a player to waive their NMC, but allowed until June 16th (one day before the ED lists were due) for the player to make the decision whether they wanted to waive it. I get that people are unhappy BM didn't make a trade to better manipulate our exposure list, but it just wasn't in the cards. I really believe that we should be relieved that we didn't lose a more important piece than Theo.
I don't know if you saw it, but McPhee actually extracted a pledge from any GMs he did business with that they would not make a trade with another team prior to the ED. So it wasn't just difficult; McPhee made it impossible to do without breaking a pact. An informal pact, but a pact nonetheless.
Yeah, that's what I was referencing when I mentioned "that teams were bound by an agreement with GMGM that if they struck a deal prior to the ED with Vegas that they wouldn't make ANY other moves that might impact who Vegas could/would select in the ED." GMGM really had the other teams over a barrel. I'm curious now if the GMs will do a lot of deals with him to help him shape his roster, or if they'll now extract a pound of flesh and stymie him at every turn.
Vegas has gotten calls on many of their young guys. Three teams called about Shea Theodore already. Answer was clearly No.

Top…of…the…league!
Posted on January 24, 2016 by aloadofcobblers2011
It's happened. After weeks of three points being packed into our points bag, the Cobblers are top of League Two as this incredible form continues to show no sign of letting up thanks to a comfortable victory over a Morecambe side who showed little resistence after going a goal behind. This is fast becoming one of those seasons that goes down in folklore and with Town now eleven points clear of fourth spot even a horrible run of form at some point in the remaining nineteen games shouldn't derail us enough to stop a promotion challenge by the time we get to the final furlong.
There really is something special about this group of players and they showed on Saturday a new side to themselves. Having been beaten at MK Dons on Tuesday in a replay that could have set us up against Chelsea, you'd forgive them for letting it play on their minds but instead it was a determined Cobblers side that took to the field looking to clear those cobwebs in the only way they know how.
The fifth win in a row and tenth in eleven league games looked all but wrapped up by half time thanks to James Collins sweeping home a second in two games since joining from Shrewsbury on the half hour mark and John-Joe O'Toole deflecting in Ricky Holmes' cross shot. Collins was quiet for most of the game but he's someone that can have an impact with one moment in a game and such was the case here. O'Toole's renaissance season goes on meanwhile – who would have imagined that he'd be a shoe in for a starting berth week in, week out when he was being offered around back in August.
Another to completely turn around public opinion is Rod McDonald. At the start of the season, McDonald was being shown up for his rawness and inexperience but since coming in to cover injuries has forced Ryan Cresswell out of the side and offered that bit of pace at the back that was missing. His header at the back post sealed this win a few minutes after the break, showing another new threat to his game at the other end.
Morecambe pulled one back when the bustling Kevin Ellison forced the ball to break to Paul Mullin who finished well to put a few doubts in our minds but this Town side knows how to see out games and snuffed out any further chances.
With Plymouth and Bristol Rovers drawing at the Memorial Stadium, the result gives us this beauty of a picture…
We go into a couple of week's break now with scheduled opponents Oxford involved in the FA Cup next weekend but the pressure is on Plymouth going into their game at home to Wycombe which will mean they will have played two games more than us by the time we host York in two weeks' time.
That particular race for top spot is a huge bonus with the gap on fourth place the one to watch in the coming weeks. It really is mind blowing after the genuine thought that we were going to our last games watching the Cobblers in their current form back in November. Once again, as superlatives run out, we march on and on and on.
EIEIEIO…

Hoskins…another big goal
Morecambe 2-4 Northampton Town
While all around us continues to frustrate with the takeover now well into the period of due diligence and past yet another deadline date given by the powers that be, the Cobblers are at least making inroads into clawing back into the early group of pace setters in League Two. Wherever the next weeks or months take us, the results of the team are something to cling on to. Just as the Dagenham defeat a couple of weeks back was the catalyst for many to speak out against the owners, back to back wins following that have done a job of just about buying them time and keeping things sweet (ish).
Saturday was a huge away performance and showed again that on any given day anyone can beat anyone in this division. It's far from a shock result of course but Morecambe were playing with a confidence coming into the game with four straight wins in all competitions ahead of welcoming the Cobblers.
Full credit must go to Chris Wilder for moulding a team together in the midst of all this takeover talk and it was a particularly impressive success on Saturday because of the absence of Marc Richards. In his place, Dominic Calvert-Lewin put in a good show and rounded his afternoon off with the killer fourth goal at a time when we could well have wobbled thanks to the home side pulling things back to 3-1.
It was great to see Lawson D'Ath getting back in the goals with his first of the season before Sam Hoskins continued his good run of form by netting his second in two games. Joe Byrom's free kick looked to have completely ended the game as a contest but there's always the worry with the Cobblers when a lead is reduced with plenty of time to play!
Tom Barkhuizan's goal, though, only gave the slightest of hopes for Morecambe with Calvert-Lewin nipping in for Town's fourth two minutes later. A late own goal, contested by a couple of covering Cobblers players, did little to cause the panic that the first Shrimps goal did and Wilder's men confirmed a fine result.
It sets up a big 'top of the table clash' next week against league leaders Leyton Orient in a match that will again shine the focus once more on Sixfields and the ownership of our beloved club. If there are no further answers to questions that were well and truly pitched two weeks previous expect the high end battles to not just take place on the Sixfields turf.

Playoffs in sight as Town win fifth in a row!
Posted on February 10, 2015 by aloadofcobblers2011
Rico…another winner
The Cobblers' claret surge goes on and on! A fifth win in a row is in itself a rarity for battle hardened Cobblers fans in recent years but combined with performances to match the increasingly secure points total this run turns into something that's more and more impressive.
Saturday saw Morecambe give us one of the tougher run arounds of the five game winner streak amd the visitors could well have taken something from a game that on another day (perhaps when we were struggling) would have gone against us. But Town stood strong as well as producing another flowing display that was set into life after just twenty seven seconds by Joel Byrom's close range effort.
The Shrimps, though, didn't come to lie down and were perhaps boosted by the fact that they had no choice as to how to play with attack their only option. The equaliser was not a great surprise despite some more hard graft from a Cobblers side that have learnt to play in a number of different ways. Morecambe levelled when the lively as ever Jack Redshaw forced Matt Duke to palm the ball into the path of Jamie Devitt who took his chance to send us in all square at the break.
But with a newly instilled will to win and to keep the run going, the Cobblers weren't to be denied and Evan Horwood's scuffed shot was turned in by Marc Richards for his sixteenth goal of the season. Rico is now clear in the League Two scoring charts and we could well have our first Golden Boot winner in years on our hands. Considering he also missed a chunk of games early on, it's a terrific return and one that doesn't seem like it's stopping any time soon.
Rico could even have added to it as well with a spot kick that smashed the post and in the process gave us a nervy old finish but despite the visitors hitting the woodwork themselves we held out for a victory that leaves us staring directly upwards rather than peering over our shoulders.
Just how far we can go is the big question – suddenly the playoffs are in sight with the Cobblers just five points shy of Bury in seventh. It's now about keeping up this momentum and bouncing back quickly when the run ends. We will be beaten eventually of course but if the same belief that's running through the club at the moment is still there then there's no reason why we can't still make something out of a season that was dead in the water at the end of 2014.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if, having won five in a row, we come up against bottom club Hartlepool on Tuesday night only to lose and get put back a step but perhaps that's my years of being a Cobblers fan giving me a cynicism that's not at all healthy!
All eyes north, then, for a long haul Tuesday night trip that may actually provide the biggest test of our resolve so far…

Back on track for tough run of games
Saturday, September 28th 2014
Ten games in to a season is usually a good check point as to how you're getting on and where the campaign may take you so victory yesterday at Morecambe was a much needed booster as we reach the first unofficial marker. Ivan Toney's first half goal means that it's a record of five wins, two draws and three defeats after ten games with eighteen goals scored (the highest in League Two) and thirteen conceded (the highest in the top ten). Seventeen points is a good return and sets up the coming month of difficult looking fixtures with the Cobblers in fifth place.
To put it in perspective, after ten games last season we had only just won for the second time and sat second bottom of the table with just eight points and eight goals to our name – all in all a fantastic turn around that, despite one or two big hiccups, leaves us in good stead.
One major change is a strength in depth not seen for many a year within the Cobblers squad. Yesterday saw Marc Richards and Danny Alfei added to the injury list and Zander Diamond failing a late fitness test – to be able to bring in Toney, Ben Tozer and Lee Collins as replacements and for it to not disturb our pattern of play makes such a difference and it's something that we'll cling dearly to as the winter kicks in and games come thick and fast.
Morecambe have stalled on their particular journey of late having stunned a lot of the division by taking the early lead in proceedings. Town met them after they'd suffered back to back defeats and it was perhaps a good time to catch them, though the way we kept a clean sheet after last weekend's atrocity against Accrington and found a way to hold on to the winner will have pleased Wilder and co.
The only goal of the game came after the always lively Kevin Ellison had shot wide for Morecambe with Toney leaping well to beat home keeper Barry Roache to the ball with a towering header. We were never truly in danger of surrendering that lead but there was always the doubt in the back of the mind after last week's goings on.
Jordan Archer would have been one of the happiest men on the team bus home – he's had a tough introduction to life at Sixfields having been thrust in to take the place of the injured Matt Duke. He'll certainly be tested more in the next few weeks with games against the league's current top two coming either side of the trip to Portsmouth in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and an always tricky one at Cheltenham after that.
We move onwards with confidence into the next ten games and if we can match the form of the opening ten then we'll be there or there abouts going into Christmas. Sounds easy, right…?

Cobblers still missing the final pull from trouble…
Posted on March 23, 2014 by aloadofcobblers2011
Saturday, March 22nd 2014
Another game down but no closer to safety do we go with the positives coming out of the eked out draw with Morecambe all coming down to the fact that it got no worse for the Cobblers. We seem to be completely stuck on the final pull out of the hole that we've made for ourselves in the first half of the season and despite good results of late we're missing the cutting edge needed to make that final break for freedom.
We had a big, big chance to sit with the pack just above the bottom two here with the Cobblers a goal up thanks to Andrew Wright's wild slice into his own net from an Emile Sinclair cross and you had a sense that with moments like that coupled with an early smacking of the post by Morecambe's Padraig Amond made you think that maybe it may just be our day.
But the second half saw Town struggle to get into a groove or go for a second goal that would have killed off a home side still hurting from a hammering at Accrington on Tuesday night. Jamie Devitt sent out a warning shot with a lob that settled above the net rather than in it whilst Matt Duke produced a fine save to keep out Kevin Ellison from a free kick.
With fifteen minutes to play, though, the killer blow was struck and a deserved equaliser found the back of Duke's net. Substitute Jack Redshaw skilfully set up Amond who made no mistake this time to level the scores. Sinclair missed a chance to immediately reply and won a flurry of late corners but couldn't find the break through meaning that three massive points became one frustrating one and there's still so much work to be done.
One of the key problems is still the lack of fire power at the top end of the pitch. Alan Connell and Emile Sinclair each bring something different to what we had before and have had moments of real quality but when it comes to just plain and simple goal getting I feel like we still need something more from them in these final eight games. The midfield also has to play their part and take some chances going forwards – goals are essentially going to keep us in this division and we have to be daring and take some chances in more ways than one.
We're quite simply making the final rolls of the dice this week as Wimbledon and Bury come to town and if we're not at least level on points with whoever occupies 22nd spot come 5pm on Saturday then we're in big, big trouble. One way or another, things will be unravelling big time by then.
Roll the dice, Cobblers…we need it now more than ever before.
Morecambe v Northampton Town: Match Preview
Morecambe v Northampton Town
We've ticked down to just nine games to go in the 2013/14 season and if it isn't to end in relegation to the Conference then the Cobblers are going to have to get right back on track very soon. Welcoming Town this weekend are a Morecambe side licking their own wounds after a 5-1 trouncing at one of our relegation rivals Accrington Stanley on Tuesday night that manager Jim Bentley called "embarrassing".
Home form has been better recently for the Shrimps, though, with just one defeat at the Globe Arena since the turn of the year. They've also won the last two games there, a 2-1 success against Southend United and a 4-1 hammering of Newport County so we're in for a challenge if that side of them turns up on Saturday.
Maybe going away from home is a good thing for the Cobblers at the moment with some lethargy from three sides of Sixfields on Tuesday night reflecting a dismal performance on the pitch. That simply has to change and this could turn into a pivotal weekend in the season – if we end up six points from safety by the end of the day with eight games to go then you really have to start asking questions about whether it's acceptance time but if it goes the other way then three points could bring us back some of the belief that's been lost in some quarters.
We can do nothing but hope.
Morecambe brought in defender Ryan Edwards on a one month loan deal on Friday with the 20-year-old going straight into the squad to face the Cobblers. Andy Fleming is also back in contention after returning from a two match suspension. Andy Parrish will be missing with a knee problem, though, whilst Shaun Beeley is out with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, Stuart Drummond is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season with a fractured toe.
The Cobblers have received a boost ahead of the game with Zander Diamond being passed fit. The defender suffered a pelvis injury during Tuesday night's game with Rochdale and had to be withdrawn at half time but he's ready to face Morecambe on Saturday.
28/09/13: Cobblers 0-0 Morecambe (League Two)
A tame goalless draw at Sixfields earlier this season as both sides cancel each other out.
12/03/13: Morecambe 1-1 Cobblers (League Two)
Jack Redshaw's goal looked like winning this fixture last season but a Kelvin Langmead special of a last minute goal earned us a point.
After a goalless first half, Bayo Akinfenwa set the wheels in motion for an eventual comfortable win at Sixfields. An own goal from Kevin Ellison on the hour mark and a late strike from Ishmel Demontagnac sealed an important three points for the Cobblers.
The Cobblers picked up a good away win at Morecambe soon into Aidy Boothroyd's tenure as Town boss. John Johnson put us in front before loanee Akwasi Asante doubled the lead just after half-time. Kevin Ellison got one back but we held out for a solid three points.
The reverse fixture earlier that season saw two first half goals – one from Phil Jevons and the other a Laurence Wilson penalty – earn Morecambe all three points as they built on a good start to the season.
On the final day of the 2010/11 season there wasn't a lot to play for but Gary Johnson picked up a rare win as Cobblers boss with Kevin Thornton giving Town the lead. Ben Tozer sealed it late on before Niall Cowperthwaite netted a late consolation for the hosts.
Taking charge of this one is Chris Sarginson who was the referee for the recent 2-1 win at Torquay United. His last Morecambe game was their 3-2 win at Newport County back in September.
It's a game that we really, really need to take three points from like every game is from now on and with Morecambe still undecided on whether they plan to fight relegation or go for the playoffs it's one we could get something from. They're strong at home so I can't see any more than a point for Town which would leave us looking nervously at other results once again. 1-1.

Injuries at the wrong time as Cobblers scrap for points
Posted on October 2, 2013 by aloadofcobblers2011
I felt from all the reports and opinions from Saturday's 0-0 draw with Morecambe that a match report would have lasted only a couple of paragraphs at best (not just me being lazy!) but a point is a point and clean sheet was desperately needed. With one small positive, though, usually comes more negatives and the fact that we failed to really trouble Morecambe's keeper is a concern.
Even more so is that Clive Platt and Jacob Blyth both missed the game and will now sit out for up to three weeks leaving Roy O' Donovan and youngsters Ivan Toney and JJ Hooper as the only realistic attacking options. Paul Reid and Mathias Doumbe managed to help the side to a clean sheet in their first game as a partnership in central defence against one of the higher scoring teams in League Two so far so that's a good sign of hopefully better times to come.
It feels a bit like we've gone full circle and we're back to trying to be a team that's difficult to beat first and foremost, something highlighted by Ben Tozer's introduction into the Morecambe game late on for striker Toney. If that's how it needs to be then great but we have two very tough games coming up away from home at two high flying clubs in AFC Wimbledon and Oxford United. With the lack of fire power at one end there's likely to be endless pressure on the new defensive unit in these upcoming fixtures.
Whether we dip into the loan market again (Blyth will likely return to Leicester and attempt to come back once he's all fixed up) is unknown but from what Boothroyd is saying it's likely that he'll be having a look around to see what's about. This is where contacts are going to be absolutely key at a time when we need that massive lift to wipe away the cobwebs of the early season.
You can make a case for putting in the young players but, in the middle of a battle to get out of the bottom two, I don't think this is the right time. Any loans need to be reliable heads that Boothroyd trusts to score goals and compete with the hunger that's needed at this stage. It can be a different type of striker that's needed if you're in a scrap at one end of the table than if we were flying high at the top and that has to be recognised so that we're not just going for a youngster from Championship side X or Y whose experience is only comparable to what we have already.
It's going to be a tough, tough couple of weeks with these games but we can't abandon ship when hope is fading. I've said it more than I would have wanted to in the last couple of season but this sort of time supporting a football club makes players stand up and find out what they're about whilst, at the same time, challenging our own loyalties.
Hold on in there!

Fan Feature: Morecambe
This week's Fan Feature sees Morecambe fan Jack Steer take the hot seat as he talks all things Shrimps! You can follow Jack on Twitter at @morecambejack
Straight to it this week (more of a q an a due to lack of time but still a great insight into the visitors to Sixfields tomorrow!)
How's the start of this season gone?
Its been a very good start overall, currently sitting just outside the playoffs. Unbeaten in 5 and they could have all been wins had it not been for a late goal in injury time last week. Despite the squad being stretched with injuries, we seem to be coping and getting points on the board.
Any major changes from last season in personnel or tactics?
There has been quite a bit of change in the playing squad due to further budget cuts. A lot of senior players have left and have largely been replaced by younger players looking to prove themselves, but based on the season so far the younger players are proving better, if not as experienced.
What's your realistic ambitions for the season?
Staying in the football league is the main focus, but as soon as we hit the 50 point mark, we will only be looking up. The sooner we get points on board the better, so we can play without any real worry. I'm sure most would be thrilled if we had a chance of a play-off place come May.
Who are your danger men for Saturday?
As always Kevin Ellison will prove a handful and can score out of next to nothing. Padraig Amond looked lively last week so hopefully he will keep performing well, but generally our goals have been coming from all over the park!
Any up and coming young players?
Many. Jim Bentley seems to have picked a bunch of exciting young players who, with a bit more experience, could potentially play at a much higher level. New striker Jack Sampson has been particularly impressive as a target man.
And, finally, a prediction for the game?
Given the way the last 5 games have gone, we will probably go behind but win! The pressure is on Aidy Boothroyd to get some results, so hopefully we can go out a little less nervous and play some good football.

Northampton Town v Morecambe: Match Preview
Northampton Town v Morecambe
It may be too early to call games 'must win' but tomorrow afternoon's visit of Morecambe really is one that we have to be collecting points from. The Shrimps, though, are going well and sit on the fringes of the top seven following a good start to the season and are likely to cause plenty of problems for a Cobblers side looking for only their second victory of the season.
Jim Bentley's side come into the game off the back of a run of four wins and a draw in the last five games with only last weekend's late equaliser from Dagenham and Redbridge's Rhys Murphy preventing them from making it five from five.
They're also scoring plenty of goals at the moment with thirteen from eight games, though they've also conceded the most goals of any of those sides in the top eleven places in League Two. Hoping to stop them from adding to their own goals tally will be new Cobblers recruit, and an old face to us, Paul Reid who re-signed for Town on Friday. Reid is on a contract until January and is reunited with Aidy Boothroyd who was his manager at Colchester United.
With still no clean sheets all season in any competitions it's a wise move and one that will hopefully provide the leadership we're crying out for at the moment. Reid was a popular figure during his last spell and has bags of experiences at this, and a higher, level.
Dwindling crowds, poor results and a general feeling of a hung over club we still need that remedy to make us all feel a lot better – that starts with three points tomorrow afternoon. Keep the faith!
The Cobblers have signed up Paul Reid today with the defender, who made over fifty appearances for Town between 2002 and 2004, going straight into the squad to face Morecambe. That could mean that last weekend's debutant Mathias Doumbe drops down to the bench. Matt Heath has been ruled out for 3-4 weeks with a thigh strain whilst Kelvin Langmead and Lewis Hornby remain on the sidelines.
Morecambe should have Andy Parrish and Andy Fleming fit but they will still be without striker Jack Redshaw who is recovering from hip surgery. Former Cobblers loan defender Robbie Threlfall is suspended and Marcus Marshall has a hamstring problem.
Jack Redshaw's goal looked like winning the last clash between the sides but a Kelvin Langmead special of a last minute goal earned us a point.
In a six goal thriller, John Johnson headed the Cobblers in front but Morecambe levelled when Kevan Hurst shot through a crowd of players mid-way through the first half. Kevin Thornton restored the lead before Jimmy Spencer equalised again for the visitors. Leon McKenzie tucked in a penalty to make it 3-2 but for the third time, Morecambe hit back again with Paul Mullin having the final say.
Taking charge of this one is Darren Sheldrake who refereed two Cobblers games last season – the 4-0 shambles at Barnet and the 1-0 home win over Torquay United at the end of March.
One day I'll predict a win and it'll happen…it really, really needs to happen tomorrow afternoon but Morecambe are tough opposition and won't have any sympathy for our current plight. I'm staying positive and going for a 2-0 Cobblers win to lift the gloom slightly!

Four more points in the bag
Langmead…another late goal
Northampton Town 2-0 Accrington Stanley
This type of Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday week is becoming a familiar feature of the second half of the season with plenty of games to be caught up with from winter postponements. And if the Cobblers are to be promoted in any way come the end of the season, this is exactly the type of double result that needs to be happening on a regular basis.
A home win followed by a point away from home may seem par for the course for a playoff chasing side but these points cannot in any way be underestimated as those chasing the playoffs close in and those at the top squeeze tightly into seven crucial league positions.
For me to be writing about an end of the season that could well end with at least a playoff spot is a pleasure in itself. With just eight games to go the excitement is starting to well and truly kick in. Suddenly we can see the finish line and if result continue like this then there's no reason why we can't be going into the final game of the season with genuine hope of an automatic promotion spot.
I've spoke before of the composure of home wins throughout what is now an eight game streak that stretched back to December and the renewed sense of belief and spirit away from home. At Exeter we had a real off day but that's been pushed right to the back of the memory banks with two fine performances that could even have ended with a maximum points haul.
The home win against Accrington was set up in the first half, during which Chris Hackett welcomed himself back to action with a rocket of a free kick before former Cobblers loan keeper Paul Rachubka handed the second to Roy O' Donovan on a plate, slamming the ball against him and losing the battle to reach it at the second attempt.
Stanley threatened more in the second half but it was comfortable enough for a Cobblers side who are getting the hang of doing just enough at Sixfields to keep up a sequence that could break some records should it carry on much longer. The current best home run ever for a Town side is 12 in a row between April and December 1927 and with four home games to go this season we could match that (or attempt to break it if we enter the playoffs!)
The latest home win set up a Tuesday trip to Morecambe nicely with the Shrimps coming into the game on the back of a 4-1 hammering at Barnet on Saturday. They were out to prove a point and after the Cobblers had hit the post three times in the first half it was almost inevitable that the irritatingly bitey Jack Redshaw put them in front with a fine finish following a lay off from Kevin Ellison.
It didn't look like being our night until once again we had Captain Marvel to thank for hauling us back from the brink. In the 88th minute, Ishmel Demontagnac's free kick smacked the post and the ball dropped low for Kelvin Langmead to nod into the empty net. It was nothing less than the Cobblers deserved and on another night we may well have been celebrating back to back victories.
But four points is another big step, particularly with teams around us keeping up the pressure with points of their own. Port Vale are dropping like flies and are now the team to catch in third thanks to Burton Albion's own form that has taken them above the Valiants.
I think we can discount Gillingham who are keeping their heads when all around them drop out of the race with Martin Allen's men five points clear at the top with a game in hand. Apart from that though it's all up for grabs with Town three points from Burton and two from Port Vale. Perhaps what we should be looking at first, though, is those just outside the playoff places and with Southend suffering another defeat they've slipped away a bit, meaning that Fleetwood and Oxford are the main contenders going into this weekend.
There's seven points between the Cobblers and eighth place at the moment and that's what my main focus is at the moment. If we can seal a playoff place before the end of the season I would be delighted and anything more from then would be amazing.
Wycombe away on Saturday will give us another big test but you get the feeling that this Cobblers side is capable of keeping themselves rolling on. There will be setbacks like Exeter along the way I'm sure but as long as we bounce back like we have done in the last few days then promotion dreams will stay alive.

Apply the henna to the hair, wrap some clingfilm around your head to hold it in place and allow it to stay on your hair for between 1 and 2 hours. by wrapping clingfilm around your head you will be able to carry on with jobs etc without it getting in the way or making a mess.

State v. Austin
STATE OF HAWAI'I, Plaintiff-Appellee,
GERALD L. AUSTIN, Defendant-Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (CAAP-14-0000935; CR. NO. 12-1-0127)
William H. Jameson, Jr. for defendant-appellant
Donn Fudo for plaintiff-appellee
RECKTENWALD, C.J., NAKAYAMA, McKENNA, POLLACK, AND WILSON, JJ. [1]
OPINIONOF THE COURT EXCEPT AS TO PART III(D)(3) AND OPINION OF NAKAYAMA, J., AS TO PART III(D)(3), IN WHICH RECKTENWALD, C.J., JOINS
Defendant-Appellant Gerald L. Austin (Austin) appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit (circuit court) convicting him of murder in the second degree and sentencing him to an extended sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. On appeal, Austin asserts five points of error: (1) the circuit court abused its discretion in allowing Plaintiff-Appellee State of Hawai'i (the State) and its witnesses to refer to Edith Skinner (Skinner) as the "victim" or "murder victim" at trial; (2) the circuit court erred in excluding the statements of Anne Wanous (Wanous) as hearsay; (3) the circuit court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on the lesser included offenses of manslaughter and assault; (4) the circuit court erred in denying Austin's motion for a new trial because the prosecutor engaged in several acts of misconduct during closing arguments; and (5) the circuit court erred in sentencing Austin to an extended sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in violation of the ex post facto clause of the United States Constitution and Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 1-3.
For the reasons discussed below, we agree that Austin's extended sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole violated the ex post facto clause of the United States Constitution and HRS § 1-3. But, we conclude that Austin's other points of error do not warrant vacating his conviction. Therefore, we affirm in part and vacate in part the circuit court's June 18, 2014 Judgment, Guilty Conviction, and Sentence and remand the case to the circuit court for resentencing.
Skinner was born on April 16, 1908, and was eighty-one years old at the time of her death in 1989. Skinner did not have any family in Hawai'i, but she had a son, Stephen Skinner, who lived in California and with whom she spoke every weekend. Skinner had several close friends and enjoyed baking, playing bridge, and swimming at the Elks Club.
Skinner lived alone in Apartment 706 at the Makua Ali'i Senior Center located at 1541 Kalakaua Avenue, which was generally restricted to low-income tenants over the age of sixty-two. In 1989, the building was secured by an interphone system whereby visitors would call the apartment that they wanted to visit and the resident could let them in. Upon entering the building, visitors could access any floor they wanted.
On the afternoon of July 25, 1989, Skinner's body was discovered in her apartment after two neighbors noticed that she had not picked up the newspaper from her front door and that she did not respond when they rang her doorbell. Her body was found lying on top of the bed. The bed did not have any pillows, blankets, sheets or comforters on it. The apartment was well-kept, and there were no obvious signs that a struggle or an altercation had taken place.
During his investigation of Skinner's death, Honolulu Police Department (HPD) Detective Kenneth Ikehara (Detective Ikehara) canvassed the Makua Ali'i building for witnesses and interviewed several of Skinner's neighbors. Pursuant to these efforts, on July 26, 1989, Detective Ikehara spoke to Wanous and took her recorded statement. Wanous's mother lived in the unit next to Skinner's, and Wanous was visiting on the date of the incident.
In her recorded statement, Wanous stated that she woke up at approximately 4:50 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. on the morning of July 25, 1989 to smoke a cigarette at a chair and table located "right outside [her] mother's apartment door." Wanous related that she was "leaning forward" and smoking the cigarette when she heard the sound of "something dropping." Upon hearing the noise, Wanous looked to the right and saw a black[2] male carrying two stuffed pillow cases leave Skinner's apartment. Wanous averred that she saw the man near the door to Skinner's apartment for about three to five seconds before he turned and walked into the elevator.
Wanous stated that when she observed the man, the corridor lights were on, but it was still dark out and there was no sunlight. Wanous noted that although she "seen the [man's] arms was black," she "couldn't make out" the man's face "because it was just one color all the way." She also stated that when the man briefly turned towards her, she could see "the whites of his eyes" but "couldn't see anything else." When asked by Detective Ikehara if Wanous could tell what the suspect's race was, Wanous responded that the suspect was "black," but further related an unknown individual had "corrected" her to say "negro." Upon being asked about the suspect's "complexion," Wanous rejected the idea that the suspect was "black, black" and instead described that the suspect was "dark." Wanous opined that she was not sure if she would be able to recognize the man if she saw him again.
Wanous also discussed a few sketches of the suspect she had drawn on a paper bag, which she had given to Detective Ikehara. She stated that a "feeling" helped guide her as she sketched:
[Wanous:] So I was told this is wrong.
[Detective Ikehara:] Who, what do you mean? This looks wrong, just tell me.
[Wanous:] It's a feeling that come to me.
[Detective Ikehara:] Feeling that came to you, okay. So this drawing is what, of the guy that you saw?
[Wanous:] I think I saw.
[Detective Ikehara:] Okay.
[Wanous:] Something kept telling me, sketch it, sketch it, sketch it, you know, I'm not a very good artist, but this, sketch it, sketch it, (inaudible) sketch it.
Detective Ikehara then attempted to clarify what Wanous meant:
[Detective Ikehara:] Well, and that just, you just decided something was telling you to do, draw this?
[Wanous:] Yeah, you know, did that.
[Wanous:] Help my hand and sort of did that, guided like.
[Detective Ikehara:] And that's on the second drawing?
[Wanous:] Yes.
Also on July 26, 1989, Wanous met with police sketch artist Joe Aragon (Aragon) to prepare a composite drawing of the suspect before Detective Ikehara took her recorded statement. When Detective Ikehara asked Wanous if she could state that the suspect looked like the composite drawing she helped create, she said "[n]o." She only confirmed that the sketch matched her descriptions of the suspect's hair, eyes, and facial shape.
On July 26, 1989, Detective Ikehara obtained a written statement from Wanous's sister, Orchid Ah Loy (Ah Loy), in which she stated that Wanous's other sister, Yvonne Clason (Clason), had told her (Ah Loy) that Wanous had told Clason that she saw a black male exit Apartment 706 "on either Monday, 7-24-89, or Tuesday, 7-25-89, at about 0530 hours," and that the man "was carrying a pillow case." The next day, Detective Ikehara took the recorded statement of Karen Evenson (Evenson), Wanous's niece, wherein she stated that Wanous "told her that a black male carrying pillow cases had exited unit #706 at about 0530 hours, Tuesday, 7-25-89."
On July 26, 1989, Dr. Kanthi De Alwis (Dr. De Alwis) performed an autopsy on Skinner's body. Dr. De Alwis determined that the cause of death was asphyxia due to manual strangulation. Dr. De Alwis further testified that she recovered a "black or darker-colored" pubic hair that stood out amongst Skinner's light-colored hair, which she preserved as evidence. Dr. De Alwis also took samples of fluid found in the decedent's vagina, the testing of which revealed the presence of recently deposited semen.
On August 3, 1989, Detective Ikehara submitted a draft of a crime information bulletin. The composite drawing that Wanous and Aragon had created was not submitted with the crime information bulletin based upon Aragon's opinion that the drawing did not reflect an accurate description of the suspect, as Wanous was not able to sufficiently describe enough elements of the suspect's facial features. Copies of the crime information bulletin were subsequently printed and distributed.
On September 21, 1989, Allyson Simmons (Simmons), an examiner in the Hair and Fibers Unit in the Fedural Bureau of Investigation laboratory located in Washington D.C., received a parcel containing the dark-colored pubic hairs that Dr. De Alwis had collected from Skinner's body. Then, on January 26, 1990, Simmons received another parcel containing samples of Skinner's pubic hairs. Simmons testified that following a microscopic examination of the darker-colored hairs, she determined that the hairs were "brown Caucasian pubic hairs that were suitable for comparison purposes." Further, Simmons attested that a microscopic comparison of the "brown Caucasian pubic hairs" with samples of Skinner's pubic hairs revealed that the "brown Caucasian pubic hairs" were "dissimilar" to Skinner's pubic hairs.
In October 1991, Wanous passed away.
Additional testing conducted in 2005 on the fluid samples collected from Skinner's body revealed that the samples contained a mixed DNA profile with two contributors: Skinner and an unknown male. The unknown DNA profile was uploaded to the Hawa i i State DNA database on February 10, 2006. On June 2, 2011, the database reported a match between the unknown DNA profile and Austin's DNA profile. On January 18, 2012, the police collected DNA evidence from Austin via buccal swabs pursuant to a search warrant. Testing of the swabs conducted the next day confirmed that the unknown DNA profile in the fluid samples from Skinner's body matched Austin's DNA profile.
On January 20, 2012, police detectives took Austin's recorded statement. Therein, he stated: (1) he was familiar with the 1541 Kalakaua Avenue address because his grandmother used to live there and he had visited her two to three times a month over six to seven years; (2) he remembered that his grandmother lived on the sixteenth floor; (3) upon being shown Skinner's photograph, he did not recognize her; (4) he did not recognize the name "Edith Skinner"; (5) he had never been inside Skinner's apartment; (6) he never had sexual relations with Skinner or with anyone else inside the Makua Ali'i building; and (7) he did not injure Skinner, cause her death, or take any items from her residence. He also stated that he did not recall where he was on July 25, 1989.
A. Circuit Court Proceedings
On January 25, 2012, Austin was indicted by a grand jury for murder in the second degree.
On July 23, 2013, Austin filed a motion to dismiss for pre-indictment delay. He argued that the twenty-two year delay between the date of the alleged offense and the date of the indictment prejudiced him due to the loss of an exculpatory witness, Wanous, who was no longer available to testify because she was deceased. He asserted that "Wanous's testimony would have provided actual exculpatory evidence for Defendant" because she would have testified that she "observed a black male exit [Skinner's] apartment at about 0500 hours on July 25, 1989, carrying two pillow cases" and that "Wanous was able to describe the black male's physical features with great specificity: 19-25 years old, 5'8", slim build, short kinky dark colored hair, dark eyes, dark complexion; no glasses and not [sic] facial hair."
The State countered that Wanous's statement was not a strong source of exculpatory evidence. The State pointed out that Wanous observed the suspect at 5:00 a.m. when "the sun had not yet risen and it was dark" and that at the time, she was smoking a cigarette and "was not focused on Unit 706 and only caught a fleeting look at the man." The State also observed that Wanous "provided nothing more than a generalized suspect description" and that "[w]hen she spoke with Detective Ikehara . . . she handed him a sketch of two figures on a paper bag. These sketches, she claimed, were prompted by a 'feeling' she had to draw." The State emphasized that the sketches were fairly unsophisticated and devoid of facial features. At a hearing on the motion held on August 6, 2013, a transcript of Wanous's recorded statement and copies of her sketches were entered into evidence.
On December 4, 2013, the circuit court[3] issued its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order denying Austin's motion to dismiss for pre-indictment delay. The circuit court found, inter alia: (1) during Wanous's recorded statement, she "said that she was unsure whether she would be able to recognize the man if she saw him again"; (2) the sketch artist with whom Wanous met "advised Detective Ikehara that the drawing [that resulted from their discussion] may not reflect an accurate description because Ms. Wanous could not describe enough of the suspect's facial features" such that "Detective Ikehara did not include the drawing in the HPD crime information bulletin"; (3) Wanous gave Detective Ikehara two hand-drawn sketches, the first of which had no eyes, nose, or mouth and the second of which "provided slightly more detail but there was nothing to suggest that the figure was a black male"; (4) Wanous told Detective Ikehara that "a 'feeling' prompted her to sketch the figures"; and (5) Wanous could not identify the suspect in several photographic line-ups which were generated based on her general descriptions. Based on these findings, the circuit court ruled that Wanous's death "does not prejudice Defendant" because:
Ms. Wanous' account that she saw a black male leaving Ms. Skinner's apartment the morning of July 25, 1989, is of speculative value. Ms. Wanous' account does not preclude the possibility that Defendant entered Ms. Skinner's apartment and killed her. Consequently, Ms. Wanous' account is too speculative to demonstrate that its loss impairs Defendant's ability to present an effective defense.
On December 13, 2013, the State filed a motion in limine to exclude Wanous's statements as hearsay. Specifically, the State sought to exclude: (1) Wanous's recorded statement taken by Detective Ikehara; (2) the sketches that she drew; (3) the composite drawing prepared by the police graphic artist; (4) the oral statements she made to Evenson; and (5) any statement she made to Clason and Ah Loy. Austin countered that Wanous's statements were admissible under Hawai'i Rules of Evidence (HRE) Rules 804(b)(5) and 804(b)(8), and under Chambers v. Mississippi, 410 U.S. 284 (1973). At the hearing on the motion, held on December 19, 2013, Austin asked the circuit court to "take judicial notice of the records and files in this case" and asserted that under Chambers, Austin had the constitutional right "to a fair opportunity to defend the accusation against him" and that "the statement by Miss Wanous is essential to [Austin's] defense . . . that another person could have committed or had committed this offense."
Also on December 13, 2013, Austin filed a motion in limine seeking to preclude the State and its witnesses from referring to Skinner as "the victim" at trial. At the hearing held on December 19, 2013, Austin argued that "to label the decedent as a victim ... is more prejudicial than probative."
The circuit court ruled on both parties' motions on January 17, 2014. The circuit court granted the State's motion to exclude Wanous's statements, concluding that the statements did not fit within either HRE Rule 804(b)(5) or HRE Rule 804(b)(8), and that the statements were not admissible under Chambers. The circuit court denied Austin's motion to prevent the State and its witnesses from referring to Skinner as "the victim," relying on State v. Mateo, No. 30371, 2011 WL 5031546 (App. Oct. 21, 2011) (SDO).
Austin was fifty-four years old at trial in 2014; he would have been twenty-nine years old in 1989. Austin testified that in 198 9, he had met an older woman at the Makua Ali'i building, whose name he could not remember, on two occasions. The first time he met this older woman, he spoke with her in the elevator. The second time, he encountered the woman in the lobby where the two engaged in conversation. He testified that after they chatted in the lobby, the older woman invited him to her apartment, where the two continued to talk, and eventually, had consensual sex. He testified that he was in the older woman's apartment for at most an hour, and that after engaging in sexual intercourse with her, he left and went to his grandmother's apartment.
Austin also testified that he did not tell the police about his sexual encounter with the woman in his 2012 interview because he did not recognize the woman in the picture that the police had shown him. Austin attested that he "didn't make the connection between that woman [he had consensual sex with] and the woman that was found murdered."
Following the presentation of evidence, the circuit court instructed the jury on the elements of murder in the second degree, having previously rejected Austin's request for instruction on the lesser included offenses of reckless manslaughter and assault. Both sides then presented their closing arguments.
During the State's closing argument, the prosecutor argued as one of his six points of summation that "[t]he defendant is not worthy of your belief." While making his argument, the prosecutor made the following comments:
(1) He argued that Austin "flat out lied to [the police] with denials of things that couldn't possibly be true" in his recorded interview. After playing a clip of the interview recording, the prosecutor argued: "Come on. The detectives asked him point blank [if he remembered meeting Skinner, speaking with her, or being in her presence] and he denied it. These denials are clear evidence that he lied to the police then. Why would he lie about something so obvious to the police?"
(2) After playing a clip of the interview recording where Austin denied recognizing Skinner's picture or name, the prosecutor commented: "That's obviously a lie. Perhaps he didn't know her name. But if he didn't know her name . . . how is it that he engages in a consensual sexual encounter with a woman whose name is suddenly unknown to him? He's lying to the police repeatedly."
(3) He argued:
He lied to the police two years ago, but he's persisted in these lies when he spoke to you yesterday. How do you know that?
You know, this trial is taking place in the City and County of Honolulu on the Island of Oahu. But surely the defendant must be a permanent resident of Fantasy Island because the story he told you yesterday - half truths, fabrication, lies, convenient selected memory, and flat-out amnesia. Think about what he told you yesterday.
He said that he recalled having two conversations with an unknown woman in the lobby of the Makua Alii building. Conveniently he never mentioned those conversations to the police. You can listen to his statement.
Why is it that now he has this explanation? Because the defendant has to come up with an explanation for you as to why his semen is inside the victim. He's already lied to the police. He's gotta come up with an explanation as to why his semen is there.
In summarizing the State's case, the prosecutor stated: "Let's put this together. He had the opportunity; he has no alibi; he is left handed; [4] the DNA evidence is conclusive; he lied to the police; and he lied to you." The prosecutor also presented the jury with a narrative summarizing and describing how the murder occurred. In short, he argued that Skinner forgot to lock her front door, that Austin went to her unit after entering the building, and that Austin then strangled and had sex with her.
Additionally, during their respective closing arguments, the parties differed in their views of Skinner's personality. The prosecutor contended that "[d]uring the last year of her life, Edith Skinner, then 81, lived a life of quiet solitude." Defense counsel challenged the State's representation of Skinner, arguing: "The State chose to depict Edith Skinner as a frail, reserved, forgetful woman. That's how they want you to see her. Why? Because it's consistent with how they're thinking. . . . It's consistent with the idea that, hey, how can you have [Austin's] DNA on her unless it's by force?" Defense counsel argued that Skinner actually "had a very active social life," emphasizing that "she went swimming every week at the Elk's Club in Waikiki." In rebuttal, the prosecutor questioned defense counsel's assertion that Skinner had an active social life, remarking that no witness had testified that Skinner swam at the Elk's Club weekly.
Defense counsel did not object during the State's closing or rebuttal argument. But, at the end of the proceedings, after the jury had been excused, defense counsel objected to "the State's repeated characterization that Mr. Austin had lied."
On February 5, 2014, the jury found Austin guilty as charged and found that Austin knew or reasonably should have known that Skinner was sixty years of age or older when he caused her death. On February 18, 2014, Austin filed a motion for a new trial, asserting that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct in closing argument when he: (1) argued that Austin lied in his statements to the police and in his testimony before the jury because such statements expressed "his personal opinion regarding Defendant's credibility"; and (2) told a "story" of how the murder was committed because such argument "was not based on the evidence presented."
Following a hearing on the motion, the circuit court issued its written findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order denying Austin's motion for a new trial on May 8, 2014. The circuit court ruled that it was not improper for the prosecutor to argue that Austin's testimony was unworthy of belief and that he had lied to the police and jury. The circuit court also determined that the State's narrative was supported by the evidence adduced at trial and reasonable inferences drawn therefrom.
On June 18, 2014, Austin was sentenced to an extended sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole pursuant to HRS §§ 706-661 and 706-662(5). He appealed his conviction and sentence to the Intermediate Court of Appeals (ICA). The case was then transferred to this court.

III. DISCUSSION
Austin asserts the following points of error on appeal: (1) "Under State v. Mundon, The Trial Court Abused its Discretion in Allowing the State and its Witnesses to Refer to Skinner as the 'Victim' or 'Murder Victim' at Trial," (2) "The Trial Court Erred in Excluding Wanous' Statements on Hearsay Grounds and Thereby Denied Austin His Right to a Fair Trial in Accord with Due Process," (3) "The Trial Court Erred by Refusing to Instruct the Jury on Included Offenses," (4) "Because Repeated Misconduct by the DPA During Closing Argument Deprived Austin of a Fair Trial, the Trial Court Erred in Denying his Motion for a New Trial," and (5) "The Trial Court Plainly Erred in Sentencing Austin to an Extended Term in Violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the Federal Constitution and HRS § 1-3." We consider each point of error in turn below.
A. The circuit court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the State and its witnesses to refer to Skinner as the "victim" at trial.
According to Austin, the circuit court erred in allowing the State and its witnesses to refer to Skinner as the "victim" or "murder victim" at trial. Austin asserts that the circuit court erred by relying on State v. Nomura, 79 Hawai'i 413, 903 P.2d 718 (App. 1995), cert, denied, 80 Hawai'i 187, 907 P.2d 773 (1995), and State v. Mateo, No. 30371, 2011 WL 5031546 (App. Oct. 21, 2011) (SDO), rather than on State v. Mundon, 129 Hawai'i 1, 292 P.3d 205 (2012), which is controlling. Austin argues that pursuant to Mundon, the State should not have been permitted to refer to Skinner as the "victim" because the circuit court did not find that there was a good reason to justify the use of the term by the State and its witnesses in this case.
In Nomura, the defendant was charged with physically abusing his wife, the complaining witness. 79 Hawai'i at 415, 903 P.2d at 720. The complaining witness and the defendant got into an argument while grocery shopping, which later escalated into a physical fight after they returned to the complaining witness's apartment. Id. The complaining witness testified that during the fight, the defendant grabbed, hit, slapped, and choked her. Id. The defendant testified that the complaining witness had initiated the fight in response to the defendant telling her that he wanted a divorce. Id. The defendant denied grabbing, hitting, slapping, or choking the complaining witness as she had testified. Id. The jury was instructed as follows on the elements of the offense of abuse of a family or household member:
There are three (3) material elements to this charge, which the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The elements are:
1) The defendant physically abused the victim.
2) The victim is either a family or household member; and
3) The defendant physically abused the victim intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly.
On appeal, the defendant argued that by referring to the complaining witness as the "victim" in the foregoing jury instruction, the trial court improperly commented on the evidence in violation of HRE Rule 1102 and thereby prejudiced the defendant. Id. at 416, 903 P.2d at 721. The ICA held:
Hence, the term "victim" is conclusive in nature and connotes a predetermination that the person referred to had in fact been wronged. Because the question of whether Witness had been abused was a question yet to be decided by the jury, it was improper to refer to her as "the victim." Furthermore, Defendant denied any contact with Witness which might have caused her injury, making the existence of "injury" another question to be decided by the jury. Obviously, the trial court could have used the term "complaining witness" or referred to Witness by her name to avoid any appearance of partiality....
Accordingly, we hold that the reference to a complaining witness as "the victim" in criminal jury instructions is inaccurate and misleading where the jury must yet determine from the evidence whether the complaining witness was the object of the offense and whether the complaining witness was acted upon in the manner required under the statute to prove the offense charged. Here, the question of whether Witness was the object of the crime and whether she suffered physical "abuse" were elements required to be proven under the statute and, hence, matters for the jury to evaluate and not for the court to comment upon. Thus, we disapprove of the reference to the complaining witness as a "victim" in Instruction No. 01.
Id. at 416-17, 903 P.2d at 721-22 (emphasis added). However, the ICA ultimately concluded that "[v]iewing the instructions in their entirety, we do not believe the court's reference to Witness as, the victim' was prejudicial." Id. at 417, 903 P.2d at 722.
In Mundon, the defendant was found guilty of attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, and assault. 129 Hawai'i at 9, 292 P.3d at 213. The complaining witness testified that the defendant molested her several times while she was sleeping in his car, and that when she had attempted to leave the vehicle, the defendant threatened to cut her with a knife. Id. at 6-7, 292 P.3d at 210-11. The complaining witness attested that she managed to escape when the defendant permitted her to leave the vehicle to relieve herself. Id. at 8, 292 P.3d at 212. The defendant did not testify at trial. Id. at 9, 292 P.3d at 213.
On appeal, this court held that the circuit court erred in allowing the prosecutor to refer to the complaining witness as the "victim" at trial. Id. at 26, 292 P.3d at 230. The Mundon court first noted that, in contrast with Nomura, the term "victim" did not appear in the jury instructions and was not used by the court. Id. However, this court reasoned:
Nomura also found the jury instruction problematic because the trial court must instruct the jury on the law but may not comment upon the evidence. Nomura explained that such a rule derives from the principle that the trial judge must endeavor at all times to maintain an attitude of fairness and impartiality. The use of the term was also wrong in light of this principle, because the trial court could have used the term "complaining witness" or referred to her by name to avoid the appearance of partiality. The presumption of innocence and the maintenance of fairness and impartiality during the trial are precepts underlying Nomura. Hence, the court erred in allowing Respondent and the witnesses to refer to Complainant as "the victim."
. . . It would seem, in light of Nomura, that unless there are good reasons found by the court for permitting otherwise, the court should instruct all counsel that they and their witnesses must refrain from using the term.
Notwithstanding the court's error, the use of the term "victim" in the limited circumstances of this case was not prejudicial to Petitioner and, hence, does not itself warrant reversal of his convictions. However, it "is incompatible with the presumption of innocence for the prosecution to refer to the complaining witness as the 'victim,' just as it is to refer to the defendant ...

Q: Xcode 4 freezes with a huge # of errors/"issues" in the "Issue Navigator" I am linking a large set of libraries (Boost) to a C++ project in Xcode 4. Clearly I haven't done it correctly, because I get errors... lots and lots of them. That's not the problem. The problem is that there seems to be no limit to how many errors Xcode dutifully logs as "issues" in its "issue navigator". It occupies all of my RAM with processing 1000+ issues, and eventually of course everything freezes when no more memory is left.
Is there a way to set a limit on the number of 'issues'? Is there someone I can personally beat upside the head with a sizeable stick for programming an IDE in such a way?

A: I had a mixed project Objective C and C++ and forgot to rename some imported files from a pure Objective C project from *.m to *.mm thus it couldn't deal with the C++ syntax in included headers.

St George Illawarra Dragons National Youth Competition team prop Blake Lawrie is simply taking his latest opportunity to train with the first-grade squad 'with open hands'.
The local Wests Devils junior is part of a contingent of Young Dragons players invited by Head Coach Paul McGregor to join the full-time pre-season training squad and has quickly adapted to the rigid work-out sessions involved.
Lawrie, a graduate of the Illawarra Steelers Junior Representative ranks, admits he is benefitting off the tutelage from the more senior members of the forward-pack and knows every morsel of information will only better his own game.
"It's been a tough pre-season so far but I've been enjoying every minute of it," said Lawrie.
"It was pretty overwhelming getting the call-up to train with the first-grade squad and unexpected but I'm taking the opportunity with open hands and learning a lot.
"I've been fortunate to be able to ask a lot of questions off more of the established players in the squad including Mose Masoe, Russell Packer and Jack de Belin.
"All those guys have taken me under their wing as a young prop and I'm loving it.

A Q&A with Eddie Game: How Acoustics Are Changing Conservation
June 20, 2018 0 Comments	43 views
Not surprisingly, the methods that scientists use to gather data from the natural world have changed considerably since then, as have the types of information we use as data.
How has the field change in that time?
There's been phenomenal growth in terms of the number of people interested this type of research, as well as its potential applications.
For conservation organizations that's been a really important development, because the questions that we want to ask need to match the scale of our conservation work, which is often larger than the scale of ecological questions tackled using acoustics in the past.
All research is valuable, but I work in a space that is about outcomes on the ground.
And that's great because then we know more about the impact of our projects, and we also have more available to spend on taking action.
Q: Tell me about how and where The Nature Conservancy is using acoustics?
One thing that I think is interesting is the use of acoustics to look at reporting under certification standards or impact investment projects.
For example, we could use acoustic benchmarks to track when a restoration project has been successful or to verify that effective conservation measures are in place.
Those are things it's been hard to get robust and independent benchmarks on, particularly ones that are cost-effective for the scale of the projects.

Former Makau member goes solo
MOMPATI TLHANKANE Wednesday, December 06, 2017
He was a member of a once popular group Makau of Sebinjolo fame, the trio who are known for their trademark nerd glasses and tattered custom made clothes.
Now on his own, Leo Malomo has decided to branch away from the group and has released a new single called Monate wa Gaborone.
Even though Makau's fame has gloomed over the years since they released Sebinjolo, Leo said he wants to create his own brand different from Makau no wonder he worked on a house song with Deejay Bino.
The 27-year-old artists told Showbiz in an interview that he also calls the song Tserere because there is a part where he sings Tserere therefore he suggested that people might call it that way.
He said he has been in the music industry for a long time but he went solo because he wants to pursue his dreams. "With a group there is always limits. You might be on the same page but you might not have the same ambition," he said. Leo said he wants to stand on his own
because Makau was limiting his musical ability. He emphasised that before everything he was a solo artist.
"It was no longer working for me and I want to approach it differently. I like presenting myself in a certain way so it will be different from Makau," he said.
Leo said he wanted a different approach during his time at Makau but now that he is on his own he will follow his path better as a solo artist. "I was the one who produced Makau's Mr DJ and I am doing house music now," he said.
He indicated that he had long intended to go solo but he feared what people might think. Leo said he wanted more urban sound and the music that will help him to grow. He said he did not fight with his former members but he just decided to follow his own destiny.
