I read them January after January, but each year they remind me less of January 1st and more of February 2nd – Groundhog Day.
It seems you could republish the same article every year and change the title. All of them mention "collect patient copays" and "submit insurance billings promptly." I had no idea some offices don't. To me, this is like suggesting I pay my mortgage each month as a financial tip.
They inevitably also talk about improving my "web presence." Most small practices don't have an IT department. I'm it here. My modest (and that's an exaggeration) web page has a 2003 picture of me that I desperately need to update but don't have the time or expertise to do these days. People seem to think that small practices are wallowing in time and money, but realistically we have neither.
They also highlight all the free things we can do on the web, like a blog or Twitter account, to promote a practice. They fail to realize how much time it takes to regularly write a blog post. Twitter posts from most practices are either tripe such as "Remember – our office will be closed on Christmas!" or links to some recently published study about the importance of diet and exercise.
Besides, in this day and age pretty much anything can be taken as a claim of a doctor-patient relationship. There's always someone looking to claim your seemingly innocuous blog post constituted harmful medical advice and try to sue you.
Turn my scheduling over to an online program for greater efficiency? No thanks, I'll leave that to my awesome secretary. After 15 years here, she knows my personality and can quickly screen out people who will be a bad match for me. She also knows our patients and has a good gestalt for figuring how much time certain people will need. This prevents me from getting too far off schedule. She may not be as efficient as an online booking program, but she's far more valuable. I'll take quality over quantity any day.
Year in and year out, I see these same suggestions, which apply only to larger practices, or those run by incompetents, or both. I keep reading them, hoping I'll glean something of value that might apply to me, but to date I haven't found that.
Time is one of any practices' most valuable assets. Instead of posting meaningless stuff online, or working on a better website, I'd rather invest my work time where it really belongs: on my patients.

Owing to the rapid development of the communication network, the number of China ' s smart phone users has rocked, which has greatly changed many people ' s reading habit. They read news and articles more often on phones than on traditional newspapers. The large number of apps developed for mobile phones makes it possible for people to read novels and other literary works on phones, thus affecting the sale of paper / printed books. However, according to the survey, in spite of the steadily- growing mobile - reading market, over 50% of adults still prefer paper / printed books.
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the challenges of living in a big city. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Nowadays, the majority of world population is living in urban areas. While many people associate city life with prosperity, urban dwellers actually have to experience various difficulties, including crime and environmental pollution. From my perspective, governments should use counter-urbanization as a measure to ease the aforementioned problems. One of the common issues with living in a city is crime. For a violent crime to occur, there must be a culprit and a victim. Furthermore, air pollution is also a prevalent issue in major cities. Surface transportation is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause breathing difficulties to the people. In my opinion, to tackle both the issues above, governments should promote the migration from urban areas to rural ones. As the population density of a metropolitan area is reduced, so do crimes and air pollution.

Q: Detecting Disk Writes Linux my webserver running centos 5.7 is showing quite a lot of disk write activity which I cannot explain really.
I run a few websites on this server with the help of nginx and php-fpm and xcache. On the file-system i have added noatime.
Now this is running fine, but I'm seeing a high number of writes per second that I cannot explain. There aren't any files being added, I have disabled the nginx access log. The php-fpm  error log and nginx error log are only getting a few lines added to it per minute. I've checked all other logs in /var/log and nothign accounts for the number of writes that are happening.
On average there are about 2 megabytes of data per minute being written, at about 200 IO's per second.
How could I find out what is causing these writes?

A: You are you presently measuring the 200 IOPS? The iotop utility is a quick way to capture per-process disk I/O stats. You should be able to grab it from the EPEL repository.

A: Another thing that I did is do lsof partition in question. That will sometimes, not always, show you all the files being opened and hence "worked on"
Doesn't always work though.
If sdd is mounted on home4 just do
lsof /home4
and see for yourself.

I like to think of myself as the ultimate indicator of whether any particular cultural trend has reached zeitgeist levels of proliferation, but in what we collectively refer to as reality i can think of at least two more trust-worthy sources to defer to. One are daily newspapers like the Philadelphia Inquirer and the second is the Oxford English Dictionary.
Not coincidentally, within the last few weeks both have indicated that BLOG is a word that has been inexorably wedged into our collective language, through the above linked article and the (somewhat shocking) inclusion of the term in the next version of the OED.
My response is, of course, "I told you so." After all, i have been doing it for three years now, to the day.
While the OE inclusion is surprising, the Inquirer article left a bigger impact on me — if only because it neglected to mention this site.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Crushing Krisis could be the longest running Philadelphia blog (now that Rabi is conveniently out of the way in new york); I have to slog through all of the links here and here to make absolutely sure.
The concept is staggering; it doesn't mean that i set a trend, but at least that i tapped into it first and have (so far) held onto it the longest. Through this passive act of ignorance i suddenly realized both how important this has become to me, what it really is, and how often i do not come through for it.
Long gone are those days, though, when i represented all that is common and exciting about blogging. I am not an active linker, and i do not engage in many of the trends and memes that are so often definitive of the blogging community. I am more interesting in reporting, either on my daily life, or on the people and communications i observe, and in singing and playing both my own songs and others' through Trio and Blogathon.
Whether or not i'm putting in my best effort on a daily basis, new people continue to happen onto this page for the first time, some of them familiar and some entirely strange. All of my roommates (current and former) read it regularly, as do most of my close friends. Some of my professors have been known to stop by. This weekend, Rabi and I had just sat down to a refreshing Bubble Tea when my cell phone was rung by my god-brother, who i haven't seen or spoken to in almost four years, but who had found this through Google. He told me that "Hide Your Love Away" was his favorite song so far, and said we should hang out sometime soon.
That's what i love — how this has been woven together with my "real life;" not so much that you cannot see the seams, but well enough that it never quite unravels. I love that people i haven't talked to, people i have forgotten, people i have never met can see a sketch or snapshot of my life at any given moment. Sometimes writing for it can seem boring, or tedious, or invasive, but if i were to stop, to actually give up for a single minute in the days or weeks that separate my posts, then suddenly this mirror of my identity would just turn into a photograph, taken from far away.

The Utah State Legislature will take up dozens of potential bills reacting to COVID-19
The Utah State Legislature could explore dozens of potential bills responding to COVID-19 over the next year.
By: Ben Winslow
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah State Legislature could explore dozens of potential bills responding to COVID-19 over the next year.
A 12-page topic list was approved by the Legislative Management Committee, spelling out what will be considered by lawmakers over the interim between sessions. Not surprisingly, each committee had pandemic-related bills.
"A lot of legislation is responsive, right? And this is a unique situation that we've responded to," said Senate Majority Whip Dan Hemmert, R-Orem.
Topics that could potentially become bills include:
Internet infrastructure, cybersecurity and telecommuting.
Requiring financial institutions to provide flexibility to customers regarding deferring payments and late fees.
Relaxing restaurant alcohol policies.
Boosting unemployment benefits, small business assistance and housing assistance programs.
Safety net program requirements and any changes needed as a result of COVID-19, including to work/work search requirements and periods of eligibility.
The impact of school closures and online/distance learning.
Issues related to the COVID-19 emergency, including considering whether the criminal penalties of compulsory education, which is based on attendance, should apply to parent-provided school.
Issues related to the continuity of government, including the executive branch and legislative branch, during different economic and health risk guidance levels, particularly regarding how the government provides services remotely when individuals are unable to interact with the government in person.
Strengthen anti-fraud measures and look at how law enforcement can aggressively target scammers leveraging pandemic fears.
To allow for mandated testing for COVID19.
Ongoing economic recovery legislation.
"That, to me, is the biggest deal. It's what can we do to get the economy re-going. Whether it's support for renters, unemployment or the businesses that got shut down or were materially impacted, what's that balance of getting the economy re-going," said Sen. Hemmert.
One study item up for consideration could re-ignite a controversy. It would "study whether to repeal or limit county and local health department powers to issue a shelter-in-place order. Alternatively, codify shelter-in-place order regulations for local opt-in— this could include guidance for law enforcement."
The legislature was considering a bill that would have reigned in some local health orders initially. It was then modified to require more sign-off from local elected officials.
"I think there's a fine line and a bright line," Sen. Hemmert said, acknowledging the controversy of such legislation.
"We always in Utah applaud ourselves on local control and respecting the voice closest to the people. But at the same time, the flip of that, is those local governments are subdivisions of the state government," Sen. Hemmert said. "They were created by the state government."
Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson said she had concerns about such legislation to limit local health orders.
"I chuckle that I'm used to the legislature trying to tell me what to do and what not to do. My bigger concern is any overreach of a health authority during a pandemic," Mayor Wilson told FOX 13. "That is something that does not make sense. I can tell you we are a lot further along as a state due to our health departments."
The mayor said she would likely oppose bills to drastically restrict local health authorities. The Utah League of Cities and Towns pushed for modifications of previous bills considered by the legislature.
"I would absolutely fight against any lessening of the authority of experts, scientists and people who understand health. That's who we need to be in the driver's seat as we look at economic recovery as well," Mayor Wilson said.
The legislature is not likely to consider many bills unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic for any special sessions that are planned. Lawmakers are expected to meet in a special session in June to deal with the budget, and again in July to deal with any policy tweaks.
"They are areas where this pandemic has highlighted situational problems that should be addressed in the future," Sen. Hemmert said.
Other subjects (including medical cannabis, data privacy and a repeal of the death penalty) will likely have to wait until the 2021 legislative session in January.

So what does Rolleston Civic Trust do?
Village newcomers may well ask this question; sometimes existing residents do also. So the organisation that provides your quarterly village magazine feels it would be of interest to describe the other things it does.
The Rolleston Civic Trust constitution refers to providing a stimulation of public interest in the village, promoting high standards of planning and architecture, and looking after the interests of the historic and other features of public value within and around the village. It is a trust of charitable status, with a membership open to all having these interests, and is organised by an Executive Committee, all of whom are volunteers. It is intended to be non-political and of generally independent view.
So in what form are these objectives met? The stimulation of public interest often comes from the various features in Rollestonian itself, as seen on the accompanying pages. Also, the Civic Trust arranges a yearly programme of talks and visits of topical or historical interest. Talks over recent years have covered a range of subjects: e.g. the Mosley family, the silk mills of Derby, the salt industry of the Trent Valley and conserving the best of Burton's old buildings.
The Heritage Event arranged last September (2007) by RODSEC, of which we are an active member caused us to compile three Heritage Trails within and around Rolleston. These included in the text some social history, and details of the function, as well as architectural features of some of our old buildings and aspects of the surrounding countryside. A decision has been made to make these publications available again for visitors and residents, and for school project work. Coordinated events by village groups for the people of Rolleston are quite common and RCT provides a good Skittle Alley at Community Day and as it has in the past at Millennium and Jubilee events.
The Civic Trust has for many years provided the function of independent Planning Watch-dog. ESBC include us on their list of local groups (together with of course the Parish Council and Village Design Statement Group) providing details of new planning applications in the area. Plans are discussed at both Committee and Public Meetings and written comments made to the Planning Department.
In addition, recent enquiries and studies have included contact with the Environment Agency regarding flood risk, and a members' Survey of Street Furniture and Markings. Signs can sometimes be unsightly or become redundant. They can be an enhancement also. RCT recently made a £1000 contribution towards the repair and reinstatement of the historic cast iron fingerpost in School Lane at the junction with Beacon Road and Chapel Lane.
At times when funds are a little easier, donations are made to local worthy causes, such as to the Methodist Church for a new Noticeboard, and a contribution to the cost of the Village Noticeboard outside Starbucks. We paid for the installation of St Mary's Church floodlighting and continue to meet the maintenance costs. Sponsorship for their use covers the ever increasing cost of electricity.
We are keen to encourage improvements to the village appearance. The Civic Trust Award is made annually for significant enhancements or for other contributions to the village. Garden Awards are made for Best Front Garden (Shelley Cup) and occasionally a competition is organised for Best Back Garden (Forest Shield). A Plant Swap event has been arranged for the last three years allowing Rolleston Gardeners to do a deal on their excess garden content – and enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of sticky cake whilst there. Daffodil and Snowdrop Planting Groups will have been seen at the Village Entrances, and outside St Mary's Church and the Jinny Nature Trail. Members get 'stuck in' on the Village Clean Up Days and Brook Hollows Working Parties. Brook Hollows in Burnside, for a longtime the responsibility of RCT to mow and control weeds around the Brook and woodland, is being taken back by the Borough Council to maintain and they are intending to form a 'Friends of Brook Hollows' to assist in its upkeep.
In 2006, RCT and RODSEC entered Rolleston into a County Competition organised by the Community Council for Staffordshire and sponsored by Calor within the 'Building Community Life' Category. It won the Calor Award for Best Village in Staffordshire and the prize money was donated to the village's educational charity, Rolleston United Foundation.
Apart from the Talks and Visits, a modest social programme for villagers includes a winter Sunday lunchtime Wine Mulling, a summer Cheese and Wine Evening and a Christmas Dinner at a good pub. An important annual village event is the Shrove Pancake Race Day, where teams of ever-keen children and over-keen grown ups can be seen controlling a frying pan and pancake on The Croft. A collection is made amongst the onlookers (many of whom are also competitors) and split between the pre-school playgroup and St Mary's Church funds.
One of the most important undertakings of the Civic Trust is undoubtedly the publication of the Village Magazine. Rollestonian including the Parish Council Newsletter is free and delivered to all households (barring accidents) within Rolleston. It is the basis of people knowing what is going on in Rolleston and of what is available. The Editor, Advertisement Secretary and Parish Council/Civic Trust delivery team are all volunteers. The cost of Rollestonian is met by the generous advertising support of local businesses and the Parish Council subsidy for their Newsletter.
We would like all readers of Rollestonian to consider membership. We hope you are convinced we are a worthwhile organisation and are fulfilling a need within the life of the village. We need also to encourage new Committee members to join – in order to keep all this going. If interested, simply contact any Committee member.
Rollestonian
The Civic Trust produces Rollestonian (delivered free to 1,400 houses in the village). For general contributions, society news, announcements, event dates etc – please contact Mrs Lesley Bayston, 3, Marston Lane Tel: 812564, Email: rollestonian2@gmail.com. For all advertising please contact Mrs Anne Overton, Newent, Fiddlers Lane, Tutbury, DE13 9HG Tel: 815332, Email: aoverton@hotmail.co.uk.
Rolleston Civic Trust appreciates the generous sponsorship of "Rollestonian" through the advertisements of many local businesses. We believe our advertisers to be genuine traders but Rolleston Civic Trust accepts no liability for the reliability or quality of the services offered.
Time For Change (December 2016)
"Rollestonian" has now been running since 1982. The proposal for a quarterly village magazine was initiated by David Bloor and Steve Lewis, then Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of Rolleston Civic Trust. With better access to typing and copying facilities, Sylvia and I quickly became involved in production and we have been editing the magazine for over 30 years. During this time it has grown from the original 8 page, 8 advert news sheet to the current 32 – 36 page magazine with 40 – 50 regular business advertisers.
Rollestonian has also proved a convenient method of communication for the Parish Council and the yellow insert has been included from the earliest issues. They have also collaborated by organising the village volunteer distribution.
Advertisement sponsorship has allowed us to maintain a free circulation to the whole village and as it has grown we now have a print run of 1,600 copies per issue. The support of Mrs Clare Norman in sharing the work by managing advertising material and income has been invaluable.
We have enjoyed the input of interested residents and of all the village organisations (with occasional prompts on deadlines!) in providing a record of village issues and events.
The Civic Trust has been fortunate in finding willing volunteers to succeed us. Mrs Lesley Bayston, with the assistance of Mrs Pamela Tulloch, will take over the editing and Mrs Anne Overton will coordinate advertising. We are sure that they will continue to get the support that we have received and we wish them well in whatever way that they might want to change or "modernise" the presentation. We shall still be here but just contributing.
Signing off,
Tom & Sylvia Martin

Home/Sports/IPL 2022 | It was an honor to see Dinesh Karthik beat again, says Virat Kohli
IPL 2022 | It was an honor to see Dinesh Karthik beat again, says Virat Kohli
William2022-04-17
Virat Kohli has praised Dinesh Karthik after the latter's magnificent form at IPL 2022 helped Royal Challengers Bangalore secure another crucial victory, this time against Delhi Capitals by 16 points on Saturday April 16 . Kohli also said it was Karthik's best release since IPL 2013.
It's been a fairy tale story for Dinesh Karthik in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The 36-year-old returned to his former franchise Bangalore Royal Challengers (RCB) after being picked at INR 5.5 crore in the 2022 mega-auction. This paid rich dividends as Karthik turned back into a finisher.
So far in six innings, Karthik has only been fired once. He has already totaled 197 runs at a prodigious strike rate of 209.57, and his final 66-pitch on 34 balls, interlaced with five sixes and as many fours, helped his team beat the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 16 points in the game. 27 of the current edition at Wankhede Stadium. Karthik was rightfully named Player of the Match for his gallant effort.
In a video posted on the IPL website, Virat Kohli was seen interviewing Karthik after the DC game. Kohli credited Karthik for guiding the Red and Gold Brigade to a tough total after being down to 92/5 against DC. The former RCB skipper also claimed it was Karthik's best IPL season since 2013.
"I'm here with the man of the moment, 'the IPL man' for me so far. It's been wonderful. I won't even say 'let it go on for long' because it will go on and you're in the space one and I can see it. It was an honor to see you beat again. Thanks for getting us over the line. This is the best I've seen you beat since IPL 2013," Kohli said in the video.
Karthik, who last played for India at the 2019 World Cup, went on to say that he set himself a long-term and short-term goal to make a comeback to India in the next T20 World Cup, which is set to take place in Australia later this year.
"There is a short-term objective and there is also a broader vision. The short-term objective is obviously to do very well for RCB. I think the credit goes to the behind the scenes staff at RCB. The day I was chosen, Sanjay bhai (Bangar) called me and said "DK, you will play the finisher". We lost AB, we can't replace him with someone half as good. We need 2-3 players to play this role". He is so good," Karthik recalled.
"Then I took it upon myself to figure out that 'okay, that's what I want to do.'" The biggest vision is that I want to play for the country. I know there is a World Cup around the corner. I desperately want to be part of this World Cup and help India cross that line."
With four wins in six matches, RCB sit third in the points table. They will next meet Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday, April 19 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.

In fact, anyone can stand to benefit from taking part in mental health therapy sessions, but mental health programs are particularly helpful for those who suffer from a co-occurring disorder in which they are dealing with both a mental health issue and a substance use disorder in Lima, such as alcoholism. Conditions like these are often intertwined, and as such, mental health facilities in Lima, Ohio provide a number of different care options to help treat many mental illnesses and addictions. If you are looking for more information about mental health facilities in Lima, Ohio, you will find this guide very helpful.

Michigan football: What the hell happened to Jim Harbaugh in the past 4 years?
Adam Biggers | 2 months ago
Remember Signing of the Stars? How about the rap video where he was whipping around in a bright-yellow exotic sports car in The Big House?
"Who's got it better than us?"
"Nooo-boddd-eee!"
Remember the Jordan Brand unveiling Aug. 2, 2016 that clogged a few city blocks of Ann Arbor? People clamored to buy $80 block-M pullovers; it was insane (I was there).
Ring, ring … it's MJ calling, Jim!
Climbing trees to land cannon-legged kickers? Sleepovers with the same recruit? Wrestling match with 2017 DT Phillip Paea? Oh, how about engaging in a foot race on pavement with former DB Keith Washington during a recruiting visit? That story was always pretty entertaining.
There was so much hype and hoopla surrounding the beginning of the Jim Harbaugh era at Michigan. On Dec. 30, 2014, Michigan introduced him as the successor to Brady Hoke, who replaced Rich Rodriguez — who was hired because, like Hoke, he won at his previous stop. Like Hoke, he was fired because he couldn't get the job done for a program that thirsts for the golden years.
Harbaugh is 3-3 against Michigan State, which he lost to this year — 27-23 — as a 3-TD favorite.
He's never beaten Ohio State, and he probably never will. The gap between UM and OSU couldn't be wider. Michigan fans like to rehash distant memories about beating the Buckeyes, but the fact of the matter is that the Wolverines have won just thrice vs. OSU since the turn of the century.
Harbaugh's past two losses to the Buckeyes were two of the most lopsided in the 116-game rivalry. In 2019, the Buckeyes won 56-27. The year prior, they lambasted UM to the tune of 62-39. This year, if they play — because UM is under a momentary COVID-19 pause — it's likely that OSU will run away with some gaudy win, padded by 600 yards-plus of total offense.
Justin Fields, the Buckeyes' star QB, might just go nuts again — like he did one year ago, passing for 302 yards and 4 TDs — and ring-up the biggest victory for OSU in series history.
This is the Michigan that gets talked about. The one that Paul Finebaum takes shots at as often as possible. The same Michigan that analysts just can't seem to completely understand. Guys like Joel Klatt of Fox Sports will praise Harbaugh one day but suggest he'll run off in an RV the next day.
The same Michigan that gets talked about as a contender prior to the season but somehow seems to remove itself from contention by the fourth or fifth week of the season.
The same one that can't beat a top-15 ranked team on the road (0-8) or win a bowl game.
UM is a mystery. So is Harbaugh.
UM is 1-4 in bowl games under Harbaugh, who's been run off the field during his past two postseason appearances, losing 35-16 to Alabama during the 2020 Citrus Bowl and 41-15 to Florida during the 2018 Peach Bowl.
He hasn't won a bowl game since slaughtering Florida, 41-7, in the 2016 Citrus Bowl.
It's been 4 years since Michigan fielded a team that looked like an actual force — the 2016 Wolverines, who were a bad loss at Iowa and mere inches short of toppling Ohio State from a College Football Playoff berth. That was Harbaugh's second year. He still had some players from Brady Hoke's recruiting class.
That is his best UM team to date.
Harbaugh saw 11 players — a program-record — be selected in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Now we're talking about losing to first-year Michigan State coaches, barely beating Rutgers in a 4-hour, triple-OT fiasco and losing to a previously winless Penn State — all in the same season.
This is the Harbaugh era at Michigan.
Satellite camps, thumbing his finger at the establishment. Changing the game. Hanging out with the Migos and getting recognized as some sort of new cultural icon. Even Ric Flair, former WWF superstar, was getting all geeked up about Harbaugh at the recruit-signing event.
It was a lot of window dressing and gassing-up of a fanbase.
Harbaugh has been bashed by former WR Braylon Edwards, a program legend. Desmond Howard, the 1991 Heisman winner, picked against the Wolverines this season, taking Wisconsin over his alma mater.
Even former QB Brian Griese has publicly expressed his frustration.
Did Michigan hire Harbaugh for $8 million per year to beat a pair of top-10 teams in 14 tries? What about win 11 of 27 games against ranked teams? He's never been to a Big Ten title game, nor has he even really competed for such distinction — outside of 2016.
Enough is enough! pic.twitter.com/5DHEmmwLPm
— Brian Griese (@briangriese) November 29, 2020
Michigan hired the right guy at the right time. It was lightning in a bottle, and the 2016 season was that one shot at something extraordinary. Harbaugh's known for those types of seasons at previous stops.
The rest is just filler, but that year or two of something really special has been enough to keep Harbaugh's name in conversation. He has one year remaining on his contract with Michigan. As always, his name is being tossed around for potential NFL coaching vacancies. It's the same old cycle.
This is what has become of Harbaugh's Michigan. It was never supposed to be this way, but his tenure has turned into a punchline. He's now known for doing less with more. He's known for not taking his beloved alma mater to new heights. That one year, though … well, that was enough to make a believer out of anyone.
But that one year was four years ago — back when he talked about "enthusiasm unknown to mankind." Today, he's deflecting questions about "culture issues" within his program.
He appears mentally checked-out, over it and ready to move on to to something else.
The passionate marriage between Harbaugh and Michigan might end up the same way as a lot of hot-and-heavy relationships do … with an emphatic thud.

rates Enbridge as a
. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, generally high debt management risk, disappointing return on equity, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and poor profit margins.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 3735.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$14.00 million to -$537.00 million.
The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.26 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company.
Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ENBRIDGE INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.
The share price of ENBRIDGE INC has not done very well: it is down 18.92% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
The gross profit margin for ENBRIDGE INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 10.19%. Regardless of ENB's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -6.45% trails the industry average.

Andrzej Wajda, Oscar-Winning Polish Director, Dies at 90
4:04 PM PDT 10/9/2016 by Nick Holdsworth , the Associated Press
Giovanni Marino/Getty Images
His film 'Afterimage' is Poland's foreign-language Oscar submission this year.
Poland's leading filmmaker Andrzej Wajda, whose career maneuvering between a repressive communist government and an audience yearning for freedom won him international recognition and an honorary Oscar, has died. He was 90.
Wajda had recently been hospitalized and died Sunday night, according to his colleague, film director Jacek Bromski.
Wajda, who recently completed his last film, Afterimage — a biopic of famous Polish avant-garde artist Wladyslaw Strzeminski — had been struggling with ill health in recent years.
Wajda, who celebrated his 90th birthday in March, had long wanted to make a film about Strzeminski, who was forced out of his job teaching art in post-war Poland after refusing to cooperate with communist authorities.
Wajda completed the film this year, and two weeks ago it was announced as Poland's submission in the foreign-language Oscar race.
Films by Wajda have been submitted by Poland on eight previous occasions, and he had been nominated to the final shortlist four times — most recently in 2007 for Katyn, his film about the wartime massacre of Polish officers by the Soviet secret police. However, the director never won the coveted golden statuette for a film — though in 2000 he did receive an honorary Oscar for "five decades of extraordinary film direction."
Wajda's career stretched across more than six decades with multiple prizes at top international festivals, including Cannes, where his wartime-set feature Kanal collected a special jury prize in 1957. He eventually took the Palme d'Or in 1981 for Man of Iron, another nominee for the foreign-language Oscar.
Two weeks ago, in comments to The Hollywood Reporter about the Oscar submission for Afterimage, Wajda said: "I'm touched by the respect and confidence in my recent work the Polish committee has shown by choosing it to represent Poland in the Oscar run. The film is universal and deeply significant for all of us now, who worry about the development of political events in many corners oft he world. It is of crucial importance to remember about the sorrowful past in order to not repeat it in the future."

9 / 10 - To The Moon
To The Moon is a powerful interactive story. It deals with issues and situations we'll likely all experience in our lifetimes and does so honestly and within a brilliant narrative setup that allows us to watch a lifetime deconstructed, layer by layer, revealing the very human mistakes and unavoidable interruptions of fate that shape how our lives ultimately turn out.
7 / 10 - Atelier Dusk Trilogy Deluxe Pack
If you're a fan of the Atelier series you'll already know whether or not this trilogy release is for you, but, if you're thinking of jumping in for the first time rest assured this as solid a place as any to get acquainted with the Atelier franchise.
7 / 10 - Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX
Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX is a great jumping-in point for newcomers to the series. It's a welcoming start to the Dusk trilogy which hits the ground running whilst dialling back the traditional time limit aspect of the game, gently easing players into its core alchemy as well as firmly establishing the gameplay loops and systems which are carried on throughout the two follow-up games.
7 / 10 - Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX
Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX gets off to a pretty turgid start with exposition-heavy scenes punctuated with lots of tutorials; however, once it gets its bearings, it's another satisfying tale with two strong lead characters to choose from, a great cast of supporting characters and that deep and satisfying alchemy sat right at the centre of it all, pulling the weaker strands of its gameplay together into a satisfyingly unified whole.
7 / 10 - Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea DX
Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea DX is the strongest entry in the Dusk trilogy.
5 / 10 - Princess Maker 3: Fairy Tales Come True
If you're a fan of the Princess Maker series you'll already know whether or not Princess Maker - Faery Tales Come True is your bag. You'll probably be able to overlook the complete lack of tutorials, abysmal translation job, sometimes backwards attitudes towards women and repetitive nature and get down to enjoying a strange little sim/management game that's unquestionably suited to the portable nature of the Nintendo Switch.
4 / 10 - Princess Maker Go!Go! Princess
Princess Maker Go!Go! Princess has a reasonable enough idea at its core, taking the central gameplay elements of the Princess Maker series and adapting them to a four-player board game. However, in reality, this shift only results in removing all of the narrative interest, skill and strategy from the main games and leaves you with a very simple experience which quickly becomes tedious and repetitive. Rounds are much too long, everything is 100% dependant on dice rolls and really, once you've spent about thirty minutes with this one, you'll have seen everything it's got to offer and more.
5 / 10 - Lastfight
LastFight lifts the classic gameplay of Capcom's Power Stone series and dumps it into an established comic book universe which it then entirely fails to utilise. It's sorely lacking in game modes and inexplicably fails to provide any online co-operative gameplay options.
8 / 10 - Ashen
Ashen doesn't try to hide the fact that it's a Souls clone through and through. However, where many before it unwisely try to out-do FromSoftware in terms of difficulty or obtuse systems and lore, A44 has taken its game in a more refreshing, community-focused direction.
8 / 10 - Jamestown+
Jamestown+ is another brilliant addition to the Nintendo Switch's ever-expanding library of excellent shmups.

1985 Nov 20 We
Cold War: Geneva (Reagan-Gorbachev) Summit (Shultz memoirs)
The Summit Begins
On Tuesday, November 19, the summit began. Ronald Reagan greeted Mikhail Gorbachev at 10:00 a.m. with an engaging smile. Flashbulbs lit the landscape. The image was dramatic: the hatless, coatless seventy-four-year-old who had bounded out energetically in the bitter cold to greet the leader twenty years his junior. In the photos, Gorbachev – in topcoat and brown fedora – looked older than the president. President Reagan steered his guest into a side room for what was planned to be a meeting of about twenty minutes. Thirty went by, then forty. Jim Kuhn , the president's personal assistant and keeper of the schedule, approached me asking whether he should go in and give the president an opening to break up the meeting. What did I think?
"If you're dumb enough to do that, you shouldn't be in your job," I said, perhaps a bit harshly, as Don Regan , I discovered later, had sent him to me with the question. The rest of us, Americans and Soviets, sat around the large table that had been set up in the villa's dining room, engaged in casual conversation, and stared through the high windows at the frozen scene outside. While the president and Gorbachev met, I spent the time in conversation with Shevardnadze . We agreed to go through our own agenda when our bosses were meeting as a way to prepare ground for them. We started on regional issues, beginning with a mutual assessment of developments in Southern Africa.
After about an hour and a quarter, the leaders emerged, smiling. The president later told me that he and Gorbachev hit it off well. The president described how he brought up the importance of human rights and said that the balance of their talk had been a short version of what had followed at the big table.
Gorbachev opened by giving President Reagan a firm line: the United States should not have illusions about being able to "bankrupt" the Soviet Union; neither could we gain military superiority over the Soviets. "Make no mistake," Gorbachev said, "we can match you, whatever you do." It was the same line he had given me in Moscow, but with his punches pulled now for the president. Gorbachev was pleasant. Reagan was more stern and direct, talking of the Soviet post–World War II buildup and their responsibility for the cold war.
Gorbachev replied that the war had left the USSR far behind and that they had caught up with the West. The president, to emphasize the difficult problem of trust in our relationship, recounted how the Soviets in World War II had refused to let U.S. bombers land and refuel in the USSR after our runs over Nazi targets.
During a break, Georgi Kornienko , deputy foreign minister and a man I had come to know, exploded at me. "Your president was totally wrong, I know," he said, "because I was stationed at a Soviet base where your bombers came in to refuel. What can we think of a president who is so misinformed?" I later checked the story out and found that Kornienko was right. But the negotiations to authorize such refueling had been painful, slow, and acrimonious. Many times I would try to correct the president on particular facts of a favorite story. It rarely worked. Once a certain arrangement of facts was in his head, I could hardly ever get them out. Usually, as in this case, there was an underlying kernel of truth, even if aspects were off the mark.
After adjourning for lunch, Gorbachev brought up Afghanistan. He talked about withdrawal of Soviet troops "as part of a general political settlement between us." He even indicated that the United States could "help" the Soviets get out. I thought I saw the beginning of an opening there, but no one else picked up on this. Gorbachev described the "process" that our two nations should use to advance the relationship. He envisioned contacts at various levels, starting with foreign ministers and ranging through a wide variety of topics. As I listened, I thought to myself, Gorbachev could be reading right out of the president's own briefing book.
Gorbachev then moved on to arms control. He had a set of questions about SDI, which he claimed was taking us into a new arms race, as it would require the Soviets to increase their offensive weaponry while developing their own SDI. Theirs would be cheaper and better than ours, Gorbachev assured us.
President Reagan did not pick up at all on Gorbachev 's lightly veiled hint about pulling out of Afghanistan. Instead, the president cited Afghanistan, Cambodia, and Nicaragua as examples where Soviet intervention and troublemaking were undermining peace. He then talked about the substantial reductions of battlefield nuclear weapons – and withdrawals of such weapons – undertaken unilaterally by the United States since 1969.
In midafternoon, coffee was brought in. The president said to Gorbachev , "We get along pretty well talking alone" and suggested they walk down to the pool house by the lake. Comfortable chairs and a blazing fire awaited them. Outside it was unbearably cold. "There's nothing like a little shared hardship to form a bond," I remarked. While they were talking by the fire, Shevardnadze and I and all the others chatted among ourselves. The two leaders returned an hour later, having discussed inconclusively our approach to arms control. Both were obviously in a good mood. The president made an important announcement to us. They had agreed on reciprocal visits: first Gorbachev to a Washington summit, then Reagan to a Moscow summit. I was surprised and encouraged, as much by the obvious rapport between the two men as by their quick agreement without hesitation on reciprocal visits for two follow-on summit meetings. Such agreement was one of our main objectives in Geneva. The president's brand of personal diplomacy seemed to be working.
At the end of the afternoon in our postmortem with the president, the general conclusion was that the tone had been good and that Gorbachev had come toward our positions on quite a few topics. Gorbachev was long-winded, but his talk had content. He was not filibustering. He made far fewer misstatements of fact about the United States with the president than he had in the preparatory meeting with me in Moscow. Beyond agreement on home-and-home summits, the big story of the day, everyone felt, was the extended time that the two men had spent together. Personally, I thought the big story was that they had hit it off as human beings.
The Soviets had let me know that they wanted to get work going on a joint communiqué. I thought we should listen to whatever they might say and, at the same time, let them see what an agreed statement, as we would call it, might look like. I was still not authorized by the president to proceed with a real negotiation. I authorized Roz to meet and learn what she could about the Soviet ideas.
I then left for the dinner the Gorbachevs were hosting at the Soviet mission. The evening was pleasant and cordial, and the Gorbachevs were warm hosts. The first course at dinner was caviar. Shot glasses were filled with vodka. Shevardnadze raised his glass, as though to make a toast, and said with a smile, "Mr President, I have to come all the way to Geneva to get vodka." Gorbachev joined the laughter. The incident showed me the easy relationship that existed between Shevardnadze and Gorbachev . Suddenly everyone was talking about visiting California, visiting Moscow. It was wonderful in a way, but there was little real movement yet on key issues of substance. It would be hard for President Reagan to be disagreeable to Gorbachev after this. "You know," Reagan had told Gorbachev , "people have come to think of us as enemies. We don't have to be."
Wednesday morning, Roz Ridgway came in to report on her night's work. "There is not a single formulation of ours they can accept," she told me in obvious frustration. So Gorbachev 's mood had not been translated into a new approach by his staff. "Their tone is quite measured, but we have a real problem," Roz explained. "They have a game to go through – letting us know they wanted to develop a communiqué weeks ago and making us pay now for holding back then. We face the same old sourness. We have a lot of work ahead."
The second summit day, Wednesday, November 20, was tough from start to finish. The Soviets were hosts. Gorbachev began by inviting President Reagan into a side room in their embassy for a private session. We had predicted this would happen, and the president had decided to use the opportunity to take up human rights issues again. When the two leaders emerged, they were not smiling. The atmosphere had been highly charged. The president told me that after he made his points, Gorbachev attacked human rights practices in the United States, citing discrimination against blacks and women and unemployment figures, which he contrasted with full employment in the Soviet Union. The president had argued back. The exchange had been intense. Again, that sounded good to me. The Soviets were talking with us about the subject. They weren't stonewalling. Maybe we could move forward through this process of mutual criticism.
In the plenary session, we turned to strategic arms. Regan , McFarlane , Nitze , Ridgway , and Hartman joined the president and me on our side, facing our Soviet counterparts. Gorbachev again harangued us about SDI. President Reagan exploded. The two leaders went back and forth, interrupting each other and expressing their views with vehemence. Ronald Reagan got the floor. He spoke passionately about how much better the world would be if we were able to defend ourselves against nuclear missiles. He was intense as he expressed his abhorrence at having to rely on the ability to "wipe each other out" as the means of keeping the peace. "We must do better, and we can." The depth of the president's belief in SDI was vividly apparent. Ronald Reagan was talking from the inside out. Translation was simultaneous. Gorbachev could connect what the president said with his facial expression and body language.
When the president finished, there was total silence. After what seemed an interminable time, Gorbachev said, "Mr President, I don't agree with you, but I can see that you really mean what you say." Ronald Reagan had made an immense impression on Mikhail Gorbachev , who must have realized that he could not talk, con, bully, or in any other way manipulate Ronald Reagan into dropping his SDI research program. Ronald Reagan had nailed into place an essential plank in our negotiating platform.
Showdown on an Agreed Statement
Meanwhile, I got a green light from the president to work on an agreed statement with the Soviets. "You told us before you wanted no communiqué, but here you work with us on it," one Soviet said to me. At the end of the day, Gorbachev and Reagan were sitting together just chatting casually while I organized teams to keep working the text. I stood for a while with Gorbachev , along with Shevardnadze , Kornienko , and Dobrynin , after the president's motorcade left. In the presence of his delegation, and deliberately, I was able to get Gorbachev to express his agreement on some of the essential ideas for the joint statement: 50 percent reductions in strategic arms, the possibility of an interim INF agreement, the process of follow-up meetings, and the importance of an exchange of people and a cultural agreement. On the basis of Gorbachev 's public concurrence with his delegation surrounding him, I thought Roz would have a relatively easy time finishing her work. As I was taking my leave, Sam Donaldson yelled at Gorbachev , "Do you think that women understand throw weight?" a reference to Don Regan 's statement that women were interested in people, not issues like throw weight.
Back at my hotel, I called together our working group. "You should be prepared," I told them, "to spend the night exploring how the areas where views are similar might fit together; now is the moment to shoot for an agreed statement." Suddenly the entire delegation was eager. Those who had most vehemently attacked the idea of a joint statement in sessions back in Washington now wanted to be part of the all-night drafting team. Everyone was pumped up. "Okay," I said. " Roz is chairman." Drafters would be Richard Perle , Mark Palmer , and Bob Linhard , an air force colonel and arms control expert on the NSC staff. Others could be present as needed. "You'll have a rough night," I said. "The Soviets can call it anything they want; to us it is an agreed statement."
Nancy Reagan had orchestrated a wonderful dinner that night at Maison de Saussure. Both Reagan and Gorbachev were relaxed. They spoke with warmth in their toasts at the dinner table, and the toasts had real content. We then moved into the library for coffee. Arrangements for the next day were not at all settled. There would be a final ceremonial meeting at the International Press Center. The agreed statement, I thought, would shape up satisfactorily. But what would the leaders do? I said to the president and Gorbachev , "You can't just sit there while a statement is being presented. You are the leaders. You each must say something." I sensed reluctance. Each was hesitant, I surmised, to risk being seen on worldwide television while the other might level criticism. "Agree to speak for three minutes each, along the lines of the toasts you gave at dinner," I urged. They both knew they should speak, and each was looking for a little reassurance from the other.
Just then I received a message that Roz Ridgway urgently wanted to speak to me on the phone. I stepped out. Roz told me that the Soviets were "stonewalling." At their lower levels, they had concluded from a Reagan speech, delivered before coming to Geneva, that a broadened exchange of people and a cultural agreement were of central importance to the president. So, in classic Soviet style, the Soviet negotiators now told Roz that we had to agree to their terms on a civil aviation agreement being negotiated in Moscow or there would be no cultural agreement. Gorbachev had agreed on the exchanges, and having been told earlier about this point of contention, I had confirmed with Gorbachev himself – in front of his negotiators – the Soviet agreement on these points in my conversation at the end of the afternoon. I had told all this to Roz .
Instinctively, I saw Georgi Kornienko 's hand and knew exactly what he was doing. He was not acting in accordance with what Gorbachev had said. Kornienko was responsible for the fact that negotiations on an agreed text had stopped. The Soviets' new demand had led Roz – based on the discussions she and I had had on "old style" Soviet negotiating and linkage – to snap her briefing book shut, saying, "So be it. We aren't going to negotiate that way." With that, she left and made her call.
After hearing this from Roz , I returned to the dinner party and took Kornienko on in a vehement way. I was genuinely upset. All other conversation ceased. I accused Kornienko of trying to prevent the general secretary's approach to the agreed statement from being carried out. I turned directly to Gorbachev . I reminded him of our own conversation at the end of the afternoon. The president was startled by my suddenly explosive demeanor, and Gorbachev was struck by this as well. Our interpreter heard Gorbachev say to Kornienko , "We don't go back on our agreements."
After dinner I called Roz . "Do not change anything in our position," I told her. "Wait for the Soviets to get back in touch with you. I am sure they will."
They did. And negotiations started again at midnight. New instructions had been given.
At 1:00 a.m., now Thursday, November 21, I was awakened by a trumpet playing outside the hotel. I thought that it might be a Swiss army version of taps. At the same time, a messenger came in with a text sent over by Roz from the U.S. mission and the news that she was on her way. Roz arrived in my suite shortly thereafter. "We're finally getting somewhere," she said. I looked at the text.
"I can see you are. You're going to make it," I said smiling.
"I'm enjoying this," Roz replied. All the while, the trumpet playing continued, but the army-style music had now given way to other melodies. Finally, I heard "Amazing Grace," after which the odd musical interlude ceased. Roz went back to work and by 6:00 a.m. had achieved excellent results.
At 7:30 a.m., I gathered our delegation in my suite to go over the agreed statement produced the night before. After the summit, the entire delegation would fan out around the globe to brief our allies and friends on what had been achieved at Geneva, the first summit of the decade.
The statement covered our four-part agenda. The 50 percent reduction idea, "appropriately applied,"
The key issue now was how to reduce strategic weapons so that the result would leave us equal, even though the exact weapon structure would differ, since the two sides had historically developed different force structures.
was endorsed, as was a call for "early progress" toward an "interim INF agreement." I took this as the first sign that we might succeed in breaking INF out for special treatment. Nuclear and chemical nonproliferation, the conventional arms reductions talks, and efforts in Stockholm to agree on confidence-building measures were all treated in positive terms. A statement right out of an earlier Reagan speech was included, "The sides … agreed that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." This statement about nuclear weapons would be cited by Reagan and Gorbachev again and again in subsequent meetings.
The statement also announced agreement on an arrangement to ensure air safety in the northern Pacific, negotiations for resumption of air services, the opening of consulates in Kiev and New York, an important and ambitious people-to-people exchange program, and cooperation on fusion research. The statement called for a process of dialogue, regular meetings of foreign ministers, periodic discussions of regional issues, and the encouragement of "greater travel and people-to-people contact." A start was made in the area of human rights with the sentence "They [ Reagan and Gorbachev ] agreed on the importance of resolving humanitarian cases in the spirit of cooperation."
Roz and her team had done a masterful job. All in all, I thought, the statement reflected well the positive and serious spirit created by the two leaders.
A Momentous Day
Thursday, November 21, was a big day for Ronald Reagan . We all went with him to the International Press Center, where the final ceremony would take place, beginning at 10:00 in the morning. The agreed statement was available. We all milled around in the holding room offstage. I said to Kornienko that it had turned out well and was the product of a lot of give-and-take.
"Yes, and we did all the giving," he said sardonically.
Reagan and Gorbachev each spoke in direct and positive terms. The personal chemistry was apparent. The easy and relaxed attitude toward each other, the smiles, the sense of purpose, all showed through.
The first Reagan – Gorbachev summit had come to an end. The fresh start that the president wanted had become a reality in Geneva, not least because the two leaders had come to like and respect each other. They had agreed; they had disagreed. We had heated moments; we had light moments. We had come in order to get to know each other as people by working hard on the issues, and we did, as did the two leaders, who spent almost five of the fifteen hours of official meetings talking together privately.
Precedents were being established that could be useful in big meetings with the Soviets down the line. The two-day news blackout had worked well, as it had in my previous meeting with Gromyko in Geneva. The press grumbled, but not too much. The key was that there were no leaks and no scoops. The great benefit of a blackout was that the leaders and their delegations could concentrate on the business at hand rather than dissipating energy on efforts to get out to the press your side of the story or knock down this or that account.
Then there was the matter of our – and their – large delegation of high-ranking people. When I had first proposed taking representatives of all key players to my January negotiation with Gromyko, I ran into opposition from those in the State Department who wanted to keep the delegation small and from others who resisted attending a meeting in which they would play, at most, a supporting role. Ken Adelman protested that he didn't want to be "part of a traveling road show." I disarmed him with the simple question "Has it occurred to you that experts might actually be needed?" They were, and the wide involvement brought a new sense of cohesion in the administration and support for what we were doing.
The combination of private or very small meetings of key people followed by larger meetings with specialists working on particular issues worked effectively. Ronald Reagan 's one-on-one meetings with Mikhail Gorbachev were clearly productive, and I was finding Eduard Shevardnadze to be a person I could talk with in an easy and straightforward way. The Soviets, I could see, also valued these personal interchanges.
Most of all, the precedent of serious and direct talk had been established. We could find issues where agreement was possible and, without the hesitations of the past, go ahead and agree. We could disagree, sometimes passionately, as on SDI, without getting set back or discouraged. And we could see the real possibilities of a better relationship built not on seeking such a relationship for its own sake but on constructive efforts to deal with problems of real concern. So, all in all, I felt that the summit – and a summit it was – was a great success.
With the ceremony in Geneva over, we boarded Air Force One and headed to Brussels, where the president briefed thirteen heads of NATO governments and two foreign ministers. They expressed their firm support and heard him respond actively and articulately to their questions. Then we were off to Washington.
At 9:20 p.m., Washington time (by then the time was 3:20 a.m. in Geneva), Ronald Reagan stood before a joint session of Congress and, on television, before the American people. "I called for a fresh start, and we made that start," the president said. "We understand each other better, and that's a key to peace. … We remain far apart on a number of issues, as had to be expected." He went on, "We're ready and eager for step-by-step progress." He concluded, "As our forefathers who voyaged to America, we traveled to Geneva with peace as our goal and freedom as our guide. For there can be no greater good than the quest for peace and no finer purpose than the preservation of freedom. It is 350 years since the first Thanksgiving, when Pilgrims and Indians huddled together on the edge of an unknown continent. And now here we are gathered together on the edge of an unknown future, but, like our forefathers, really not so much afraid, but full of hope and trusting in God, as ever."
When the president finished with "God bless you all," he also finished a momentous day: he had zeroed in on the character of the human being in the other chair. He was genuinely impressed by what he saw and felt in his first encounter with Mikhail Gorbachev . That impression, apparently reciprocated by Gorbachev , would define Ronald Reagan 's outlook and his new sense of the possible with the Soviets.

Also, in early June, Edwards is accused of stealing the following items from the jail's maintenance and kitchen areas: a drill bit sharpener, a socket, a light bulb, Allen wrenches, a pencil sharpener, a wrench and two boxes of rubber gloves.
The theft were performed while Edwards was on duty as a corrections sergeant, an "unauthorized exercise of his official functions," court documents allege.
An internal investigation by the sheriff's office resulted in Edwards' arrest June 18.
Sheriff Gary Howard's office said Edwards was relieved of his duties and placed on leave pending further civil service proceedings. Edwards is presumed innocent of the criminal charges unless proven guilty in court.
New York State payroll and online records show Edwards has worked for Tioga County since 2006 and as of 2017, he was being paid $50,255 annually.
If convicted of third-degree burglary, Edwards could face up to seven years in prison. Sentencing guidelines also allow for a minimum prison term of up to three years, probation, or no jail time if the defendant is convicted of third-degree burglary.

USA, KNUST launch university partnership initiative
KNUST VC- Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson Together With U.S. Embassy Officials And Other Partners At The Launch Of The UPI
The United States Embassy and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have launched the US State Department Bureau of African Affairs' University Partnerships Initiative (UPI) to promote faculty and student exchanges and joint research.
It also aims at strengthening ties between the two countries, build their education administrative capacities, and enhance public-private partnerships.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency said the UPI would be jointly implemented by the Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) in collaboration with the KNUST Business School on: "Flexible Learning: Responding and Reimagining Education in Ghana."
It said in response to the urgent need for virtual education due to the COVID-19 pandemic, TIEC staff had assembled higher education professionals from several universities in Texas to train 30 administrators and faculty to produce quality online and flexible learning.
The statement said participants would go on to train other faculty and administrators within KNUST and throughout Ghana.
The statement said Iowa State University (ISU) would partner with the KNUST College of Engineering to implement "Institutional Capacity Building through Engineers without Borders (EWB) Collaboration."
"ISU and KNUST faculty and students will partner with the Ullo Traditional Area in the Upper West Region to collaborate on small-scale community development. These projects will promote research-driven solutions to address food security, potable water security, sustainable agriculture, and improved economic opportunity," it said.
"This 'learning by doing' approach will bolster the students' real-world problem-solving abilities and globalise the undergraduate engineering curriculum at both universities," the statement said.
Professor Rita Akosua Dickson, Vice-Chancellor of the KNUST, was quoted as saying: "The TIEC-KNUST project propels us in our pursuit of building the needed capacity for the establishment of a more resilient and robust e-learning system that ensures seamless academic work all year round and also offer us the opportunity to transfer knowledge to individuals less privileged to access in-person learning experience from our University."
She also endorsed the ISU-KNUST project by saying: "It will strengthen our institutional capacity towards achieving our mission as it will position KNUST in an era where academia-community engagement for the socio-economic development of our less privileged communities is paramount."
Mr Tibor Nagy, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of African Affairs, applauded the inaugural UPI collaborations in Ghana.
"These projects exemplify core principles in American higher education leadership: excellence and innovation in delivery of online education (now of paramount importance as schools rely largely on virtual learning), and hands-on, practical education that when put into action, improves lives," he was quoted as saying.
Through the UPI, the US Embassy will continue to expand existing links and promote new partnerships at the university level that will strengthen Ghana's educational institutions as instruments of national development.
It would enhance the United States and Ghana's shared goals of regional prosperity, security, and stability.

Vicki is surprised to see a reformed Willie renovating the Old House when she comes to issue Barnabas a dinner invitation. When she leaves, Barnabas asks why Willie was so eager to see her go, mocking his considerateness. Barnabas later visits the Evans cottage, where Sam reports on another attack and Maggie swears she feels followed. Barnabas commissions a portrait from Sam, paying him a thousand dollars on the stipulation that they only work at night and at the Old House. After they begin, the sun starts to rise. Lost in a moment of distraction, Sam finds that Barnabas is missing.
If you want a truly emblematic episode of the first days of Barnabas, this is a marvelous choice. It's a disciplined, ascetic, tense slice of paranoia and menace. Is it a good representation of the overall series? No, but that doesn't stop it from being cited as one. In many ways, I wish there were a DARK SHADOWS for which this was the poster child. But, and please don't take this the wrong way, 222 is too good. On average, DARK SHADOWS is goofier. It has a Masterpiece-Theater-meets-Republic-Studios weirdness that cannot be denied. This belongs to a darker, subtler show. It's both an eventful episode and one under an almost Hitchockianly tight control. The family is snowed. Barnabas is fully confident in a plan that he executes flawlessly. Willie fights to follow his conscience despite the torture he faces. The best qualities of the well-meaning are turned against themselves. If Barnabas had remained as successful in all the episodes as he is in this one, he'd have become Mr. Maggie Evans in a month. The episode is shot with a bleak and noir atmosphere impossible in color by anyone save Gordon Willis. The writing is almost on a grim, BIG SLEEP level. It metes out only the information the audience absolutely needs, and then shorts that inventory by a sentence to keep them appropriately tantalized.
On this day in 1967, the US performed nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site. Someone probably became a superhero or something in the process.
This episode hit the airwaves May 3, 1967.

FHM Ottawa Senators Historical Challenge, December 1998: Back and Forth
All over the place.

Share All sharing options for: FHM Ottawa Senators Historical Challenge, December 1998: Back and Forth
Franchise Hockey Manager 6 is a text-based hockey management simulation game by Out of the Park Developments. It's a lot of fun, and I find it super realistic. I recommend checking it out if you're looking for a good way to kill time while social distancing.
In the game, you take over as GM and/or head coach of pretty much any hockey team on the planet, and make roster moves to bring your team a championship. The CPU plays the games for you, but you craft the team.
One of the coolest game modes is the Historical Challenges, wherein you take over as GM of a team at a particular point in their NHL existence, and attempt to relive or rewrite history. For the purposes of this play-through, we'll be taking over the Ottawa Senators in the Fall of 1996, and attempting to win a Stanley Cup no later than the spring of 2007.
For the purposes of this little exercise, I'm going to play through this mode, trying to win a Cup for the Sens, with help from you - yes you - the readers! At the end of every edition, I'll ask you questions about key roster moves, and make it based on how you respond!
We're going to take this on a month-by-month basis, with a new installment coming out every week, so make sure you let me know in the comments what you want to see, and any suggestions you have to achieve this goal! I want to make this as interactive an experience as possible, so I really want to hear from you!
Let's continue into December 1998!
You voted to trade for Anson Carter, and so we shall. More on that later.
Not the best start to the month. Markus Naslund, Miroslav Šatan, and Pavel Bure scored, but we were doubled up by the Nashville Predators.
We got back on track against the Los Angeles Kings, as Byron Dafoe stymied his old team. Naslund, Bryan McCabe, and Martin St. Louis had the markers to beat the Kings 3-1.
The trade is complete. It ended up being Ruslan Fedotenko going to Washington rather than Michael Nylander, but the latter is further along in his development anyway and better suited to our purposes.
Here's a peek at the new and improved lineup.
The benefits were felt immediately, as we got some revenge for last year's playoff loss. Bure scored his 250th career goal, along with Magnus Arvedson, Rob Zamuner, and Glen Wesley to down the New York Rangers by a score of 4-1. Another great performance from Dafoe.
Make it three in a row, with a win over our expansion sister team in the Tampa Bay Lightning. Anson Carter scored his first as a Senator, while Zamuner, Bure, and Jozef Stumpel also found the back of the net for another 4-1 victory.
Back-to-back nights in Florida, back-to-back wins. Patrick Lalime stopped 31 of 32, and got run support from Bure with two goals, and Zamuner with one, to beat the Panthers 3-1.
The good fortune ended there, though. Alfredsson will miss the next few games with an injury.
And without the captain, so begins a losing streak:
Naslund the only goal.
Naslund and Zamuner.
Bure, McCabe.
Naslund.
Alfie's finally back, and we get back in the win column. Arvedson, Naslund, and Chris Phillips powered us to a 3-2 victory over the hated Montreal Canadiens.
Clearly Alfredsson is the key, as it's another divisional win, this time 4-2 over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Šatan scored twice, along with Naslund and Phillips, to double up the score for Dafoe.
Bure scored twice, but it wasn't enough for a third straight victory, as we fell 4-2 to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
We ended on a high note, however, with a 3-2 win in Buffalo. Naslund, Phillips, and Eric Weinrich tallied the three goals needed to down the Sabres by one.
In other news, Pavel Bure was voted best skater, and fastest player by his peers.
That's December, and 1998 with it, so it's question time.
Sami Salo is now 24, and just hasn't been able to beat out guys like Wade Redden and Dan Boyle for playing time. His potential remains high, but he may be better served as a trade chip for a team eyeing a playoff run. We don't have to make any trades now, but he could be a valuable asset at deadline time.
So, what's your opinion?
On Salo...
Hang on to him
See what you can get
All told, we finished December with a record of 7-6-0 (18-13-2) overall. This leaves us second in the Northeast, 6th in the East, and 11th overall.
Top Performers: Pavel Bure (13GP 9G 8A 17P), Markus Naslund (11GP 7G 4A 11P)
Make sure you vote on the poll, and check out January 1999 next week!
