How information is like snacks, money, and drugs—to your brain
June 19, 2019 | by Laura Counts
Can't stop checking your phone, even when you're not expecting any important messages? Blame your brain.
A new study by researchers at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business has found that information acts on the brain's dopamine-producing reward system in the same way as money or food.
"To the brain, information is its own reward, above and beyond whether it's useful," says Assoc. Prof. Ming Hsu, a neuroeconomist whose research employs functional magnetic imaging (fMRI), psychological theory, economic modeling, and machine learning. "And just as our brains like empty calories from junk food, they can overvalue information that makes us feel good but may not be useful—what some may call idle curiosity."
Assoc. Prof. Ming Hsu of the Haas Marketing Group
The paper, "Common neural code for reward and information value," was published this month by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Authored by Hsu and graduate student Kenji Kobayashi, now a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, it demonstrates that the brain converts information into the same common scale as it does for money. It also lays the groundwork for unraveling the neuroscience behind how we consume information—and perhaps even digital addiction.
"We were able to demonstrate for the first time the existence of a common neural code for information and money, which opens the door to a number of exciting questions about how people consume, and sometimes over-consume, information," Hsu says.
Rooted in the study of curiosity
The paper is rooted in the study of curiosity and what it looks like inside the brain. While economists have tended to view curiosity as a means to an end, valuable when it can help us get information to gain an edge in making decisions, psychologists have long seen curiosity as an innate motivation that can spur actions by itself. For example, sports fans might check the odds on a game even if they have no intention of ever betting.
Sometimes, we want to know something, just to know.
"Our study tried to answer two questions. First, can we reconcile the economic and psychological views of curiosity, or why do people seek information? Second, what does curiosity look like inside the brain?" Hsu says.
The neuroscience of curiosity
To understand more about the neuroscience of curiosity, the researchers scanned the brains of people while they played a gambling game. Each participant was presented with a series of lotteries and needed to decide how much they were willing to pay to find out more about the odds of winning. In some lotteries, the information was valuable—for example, when what seemed like a longshot was revealed to be a sure thing. In other cases, the information wasn't worth much, such as when little was at stake.
For the most part, the study subjects made rational choices based on the economic value of the information (how much money it could help them win). But that didn't explain all their choices: People tended to over-value information in general, and particularly in higher-valued lotteries. It appeared that the higher stakes increased people's curiosity in the information, even when the information had no effect on their decisions whether to play.
The researchers determined that this behavior could only be explained by a model that captured both economic and psychological motives for seeking information. People acquired information based not only on its actual benefit, but also on the anticipation of its benefit, whether or not it had use.
Hsu says that's akin to wanting to know whether we received a great job offer, even if we have no intention of taking it. "Anticipation serves to amplify how good or bad something seems, and the anticipation of a more pleasurable reward makes the information appear even more valuable," he says.
Common neural code for information and money
How does the brain respond to information? Analyzing the fMRI scans, the researchers found that the information about the games' odds activated the regions of the brain specifically known to be involved in valuation (the striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex or VMPFC), which are the same dopamine-producing reward areas activated by food, money, and many drugs. This was the case whether the information was useful, and changed the person's original decision, or not.
Next, the researchers were able to determine that the brain uses the same neural code for information about the lottery odds as it does for money by using a machine learning technique (called support vector regression). That allowed them to look at the neural code for how the brain responds to varying amounts of money, and then ask if the same code can be used to predict how much a person will pay for information. It can.
In other words, just as we can convert such disparate things as a painting, a steak dinner, and a vacation into a dollar value, the brain converts curiosity about information into the same common code it uses for concrete rewards like money, Hsu says.
"We can look into the brain and tell how much someone wants a piece of information, and then translate that brain activity into monetary amounts," he says.
Raising questions about digital addiction
While the research does not directly address overconsumption of digital information, the fact that information engages the brain's reward system is a necessary condition for the addiction cycle, he says. And it explains why we find those alerts saying we've been tagged in a photo so irresistible.
"The way our brains respond to the anticipation of a pleasurable reward is an important reason why people are susceptible to clickbait," he says. "Just like junk food, this might be a situation where previously adaptive mechanisms get exploited now that we have unprecedented access to novel curiosities."

Regret is a gambler's curse, scientists say
September 14, 2018 | by Haas News
What goes through a gambler's mind after she's placed her bet?
It's not just the anticipation of a big payoff, or doubts about the wisdom of her bet. It's also regret about previous bets, both won and lost, according to UC Berkeley neuroscientists.
"Right after making a choice and right before finding out about the outcome, the brain is replaying and revisiting nearly every feature of what happened during the previous decision," said senior author Ming Hsu, an associate professor in the Haas School of Business and Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at UC Berkeley. "Instead of 'I just gambled but maybe I shouldn't have,' it is, 'Last round I gambled and that was a really good choice.' Or, 'I played it safe last time but should have gone for it.'"
Activity in the orbitofrontal cortex during a gambling experiment, as recorded by electrode meshes placed directly on the surface of the brain. On the left, the dots indicate the positions of the electrodes in each of the 10 subjects, distinguished by color. During normal activity (middle), the electrodes (black dots) show little activity (red) in the OFC region that deals with regret. During the betting game, however (right), after learning the outcome of the bet, many electrodes record activity in the area where we feel regret (red).
The UC Berkeley study is one of a small but growing number of studies that record fast human brain activity – a thousand measurements per second – to reveal the complex array of operations underlying every decision we make, even those that may seem trivial.

The researchers focused on the brain's orbitofrontal cortex, long-known to be involved in reward processing and social interactions. Indeed, it was one of the main sites of damage in the well-known case involving 19th century railroad worker Phineas Gage, whose left frontal cortex was destroyed after an explosion drove an iron bar through his head. The damage altered his personality, making him impulsive and uninhibited – seemingly a man who didn't regret any act, no matter how disastrous the outcome.
In recent decades, the orbitofrontal cortex has been shown to be involved in how people value their choice options, how much regret they felt, how much risk they were taking and how valuable their choice was, all of which guide future choices or help someone appraise how good or bad the outcome was.
As shown in this study, however, the orbitofrontal cortex spends much of the time replaying aspects of past decisions. In particular, when people play a gambling game, the main driver of activity in the orbitofrontal cortex is the regret they feel from losing or the regret, after winning, of not having bet more.
"It turns out that the most prevalent information encoded in the orbitofrontal cortex was the regret subjects experienced from their previous decision," said first author Ignacio Saez, a former UC Berkeley postdoctoral fellow who is now an assistant professor at UC Davis.
With the ability to recognize the pattern of activity associated with regret, the findings could open the door to assessing how well the regret circuits in the brain operate in people with brain injuries or those with behaviors that suggest the absence of regret, including some politicians.

"For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm." (Psalm 33:9)
1. Polls show Gantz could defeat Netanyahu if he heads joint list with Lapid - Times of Israel
Former IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz's Israel Resilience party soared in opinion polls taken Wednesday, a day after he made his maiden political speech, indicating he constitutes a potent threat to the re-election hopes of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Polls taken for Hadashot TV news and Channel 13 news both showed Gantz's party closing in on Netanyahu's Likud ahead of the April 9 elections, though still 6-9 seats behind the ruling party. Potentially of more significance, the Hadashot poll showed that a Gantz-headed alliance with Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party would win 35 seats to the Likud's 30. In such a scenario, Hadashot said, Gantz could be well-placed to form Israel's next coalition government.
2. Bill that Allows States to Boycott Companies Boycotting Israel Moves Forward - Christian Headlines
The U.S. Senate is pushing forward a Middle East bill that would put in place new sanctions on Syria. The bill would allow state and local governments to stop doing business with companies who are boycotting Israel.
"The Senate will once again move to take up our bill to support Israel, give local and state governments the right to boycott BDS and punish human rights abuses in Syria," tweeted Sen. Marco Rubio, who introduced the bill to Congress. "Democrats said they were blocking it until [the] shutdown ended. So, no excuse not to move to it now."
3. Minister threatens to ban Amnesty over settlement tourism report - Times of Israel
Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan threatened to ban Amnesty International from Israel on Wednesday after the rights group accused Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and TripAdvisor of profiting from "war crimes" by offering accommodation in settlements.
"Amnesty International, that hypocritical organization that speaks in the name of human rights, is acting to promote a boycott of Israelis as part of a campaign of anti-Semitic delegitimization," Erdan said.
Erdan, whose Strategic Affairs Ministry is responsible for combating the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, called for a boycott of Airbnb last year after it said it would stop listing homes in West Bank settlements. The company faced legal action by settlement home owners in court in the US and apparently never implemented its declared move.
4. US aid to PA security forces to end this week - Israel National News
US aid to the Palestinian Authority's security services will end this week at the PA's request, senior PLO official Saeb Erekat said Wednesday, according to AFP.
The move is meant to preempt lawsuits over alleged support for terrorism.
The PA has demanded the funding stop at the end of January for fear it could expose the PA to costly lawsuits under the US Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act (ATCA), which comes into force on February 1.
"The money will be cut off," Erekat told AFP, adding, "We don't want to receive any money if this will take us to court."
The ATCA legislation passed by Congress last year provides for any government that receives funding to be subject to US counterterrorism laws.
5. Minor riot as thousands of Ethiopian-Israelis rally against police brutality - Times of Israel
Thousands of Israelis protested against alleged police brutality and rampant discrimination towards the Ethiopian-Israeli community at a demonstration in Tel Aviv Wednesday evening, called after a young Ethiopian Jew was shot dead by a cop earlier this month.
The rally at Rabin Square, which followed a march that shuttered major thoroughfares and junctions, turned violent when a few dozen of the protesters began a vandalism spree down Ibn Gabirol Boulevard.
Police described the rioters as a "a small minority" and said six police officers had been lightly wounded trying to quell the disturbances. Eleven of the protesters were arrested.

Two people have been injured in an accident involving an official motorcade outside the White House. The incident happened at around 2.15pm when a protester jumped in front of the vehicle and was brought down by a Secret Service officer.
It reported that the protester was hurt along with a Secret Service agent. The extent of their injuries was unclear but neither was thought to have required an ambulance. The Secret Service would not confirm who was in the motorcade at the time of the incident. (See second article for motorcade participants.) > > > Read more.

2. Protesters rush Beijing delegation as US-China trade war talks start with meeting between VP Liu He and USTR Robert Lighthizer - South China Morning Post
China's trade delegation was given a jolting start to its visit to Washington on Wednesday when it was confronted by Chinese protesters en route to the site of the first of two days of high-stakes negotiations. The demonstrators rushed the delegation as it left Washington's Willard Hotel. Video footage of the scuffle shows one woman being knocked down by security personnel.
The delegation, led by China's Vice-Premier Liu He, soon arrived at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House, where cabinet ministers will spend two days trying to narrow the gap in the countries' positions in a trade war that is in its seventh month.
The dramatic start to the Chinese delegation's visit continued at lunchtime, when a protester crossed police lines and tried to approach the team's motorcade as it returned to the Willard. NBC reported that a police officer was injured by the protester, who was arrested. (Read more)

3. Hannity on Stone arrest: 'We've lost our country. Say goodbye' - WND
If the pre-dawn raid of Roger Stone's home by FBI agents in tactical gear with weapons drawn is a sign of things to come, America has lost its constitutional republic, contends Fox News television and radio host Sean Hannity.
"We are a democratic republic. The Constitution that we cherish so much is the foundation of all law and order in this country. If you don't apply the laws equally, only going after one group of people because of their political views, and you protect people with other political views, you've lost our Constitution. We've lost our country," said Hannity in an opinion piece compiled by FoxNews.com from his radio show.
"Without equal application of our laws and equal justice under the law, there's one thing left to say to our great nation: Goodbye." Citing Obama administration scandals such as Fast and Furious, the IRS targeting conservatives and Hillary Clinton's missing emails," Hannity said, referring to the arrest and indictment of Stone, "it's good to know the feds finally got their man." (Read more)
- Father, it is clear those in power wanted to send a message with this unnecessary, pre-dawn raid of Roger Stone's home, harassment of his wife, and media involvement. We pray for true justice in our land, the equal application of the law, and the removal of every corrupt government employee.
- The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge. He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them. (Psalm 94:21-23)
4. First NY, Now Virginia: Democrat Proposes Bill Pushing to Abort Babies 'Just Seconds Before' Birth - CBN News
Virginia Democratic Delegate Kathy Tran proposed a bill this week to allow a woman to have an abortion while she is in labor and just moments away from giving birth. House Bill 2491, also known as The Repeal Act, would remove all existing restrictions on abortion in Virginia.
According to a bill summary, it removes the requirement that late-term abortions be performed in a hospital, that an ultrasound is given beforehand, and that at least two physicians "certify that a third-trimester abortion is necessary to prevent the woman's death or impairment of her mental or physical health."
Tran engaged in a heated exchange with subcommittee chairman Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah) on the Virginia Delegate House floor Monday. For now, the subcommittee recommended The Repeal Act to be laid on the table. It is not expected to pass the Republican-held Senate. (Read more)

5. Senator Sasse Tells Virginia Governor To 'Get The Hell Out Of Public Office' Over Abortion Remarks - Daily Caller
Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse reacted to comments Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam made Wednesday morning, telling the governor that he shouldn't serve in government if he supports leaving babies to die after they've been born.
Northam, in a Wednesday morning interview, couldn't precisely answer whether he supports abortion until birth and suggested an infant could be born and then the mother and doctor could discuss what should happen next, The National Review reported.
"I don't care what party you're from - if you can't say that it's wrong to leave babies to die after birth, get the hell out of public office," Sasse said. Aborting a baby after it's born is illegal. Seventy-five percent of Americans support significant abortion restrictions and say abortion should not be legal after a woman is three months pregnant, according to a Jan.15 Marist poll. (Read more)

6. Eyes on Kavanaugh and Gorsuch as Supreme Court weighs whether Louisiana abortion law can go into effect - CNBC
Two doctors in Louisiana are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to grant an emergency stay of a law they say could cripple access to abortions in the state. The law requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinic. It would leave only one doctor in a single clinic to provide abortions in a state where 10,000 women seek the procedure each year, according to the plaintiffs.
In an application submitted on Monday to Justice Samuel Alito and expected to be reviewed by the full court, the unnamed physicians, represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, asked the court to prevent the law from going into effect, as it is scheduled to do next week. Alito on Tuesday gave Louisiana two days to respond to the application.
The case could prove to be a test of President Donald Trump's two nominees to the high court. Five justices are required to grant an emergency stay, if the full court acts on the matter, so at least one of the court's five conservatives will have to join the liberal wing in order to prevent the Louisiana law from going into force. (Read more)
- Father, we lift up Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and pray they will make a stand for life by denying this emergency stay.
- Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

7. Ruth Bader Ginsburg watch nears the end of its second month - American Thinker
It has been 54 days since the public laid eyes on the 85-year-old Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her absence is prompting calls for proof of life. The last time she was seen was on December 6, 2018, when she heard arguments in person at the Court.
Since then, she underwent surgery on December 21 of last year after two cancerous growths from her left lung were discovered and removed. All official statements have been issued by people close to her and meant to assure the public that she is recovering quietly.
However, RBG has missed oral arguments this month for the first time in her 25-year career on the bench, and it is raising anxieties about how well and if she is recovering. It has been reported that the White House is taking steps toward preparing a short list of Supreme Court nominees in the event of Justice Ginsburg's death or departure.
Adding even more fuel to the speculation, Fox & Friends "accidentally" showed a memorial graphic that claimed that Ginsburg is dead. The show apologized shortly after and blamed it on a "control room error," but it's worth noting that the graphic even being made and loaded is a disturbing, macabre preparation.
She was scheduled to attend a function called "An Evening with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg" in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening at the Skirball Cultural Center, but the event was "regrettably canceled" because she is still recuperating from her recent surgery. A second engagement on February 6 with her and philanthropist David Rubenstein in New York City was also canceled. (Read more)
- Father, we pray Ruth Bader Ginsburg's status will become known in Your timing.
- Better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will take it to heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:2)
8. Trump Super PAC Launches Seven-Figure Angel Mom Ad Buy Pushing for Border Wall: 'My Separation is Permanent' - Breitbart
President Donald Trump's Super PAC, America First Policies, has launched a seven-figure ad buy targeting several top Democrats in Congress with a message from Angel Mom Michelle Root, whose daughter Sarah was murdered by an illegal alien in 2016.
The digital ad buy, Breitbart News has learned, is part of a broader $1.1 million campaign that will target key lawmakers in states across the country, specifically in Florida, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Alabama, urging constituents in those states to call their representatives and senators to push for funding for President Trump's planned wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
In the ad that America First is airing, Root's mother names her daughter's killer Edwin Mejia. According to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Most Wanted website, Mejia remains at-large on the run from authorities after he killed Sarah Root.
Michelle Root's plea to the public is that America sees the effects of illegal immigration. "I want the American people to see what devastation illegal aliens cause," she says in the America First Policies ad. "My separation is permanent. I want to see that wall built." (Read more)

9. Shock poll: Democratic swing districts back wall, Trump immigration offer - Washington Examiner
Voters in congressional districts that President Trump won in 2016 but flipped Democratic last November support his border wall and believe Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi should have accepted his immigration deal to end the partial government shutdown.
A poll of 10 representative districts, some of which Trump won by a big margin but then voted a Democrat into office in 2018, also found that a plurality approve of the president's job performance, 49 percent to 48 percent.
The Public Opinion Strategies survey done for the Republican National Committee provided some hope for the president and GOP messaging on the border wall. The survey found that voters in districts in New York, Minnesota, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Maine, Virginia and New Jersey believe that Trump's immigration compromise dismissed by Pelosi should have been accepted in the shutdown struggle. And it found that more voters believe Trump "has been more open to compromise on this issue than congressional Democrats." (Read more)

10. Liberals outraged as Trump endorses Bible literacy classes in public schools - LifeSiteNews
President Donald Trump raised a lot of eyebrows Monday by endorsing biblical literacy education in public schools, earning praise from socially-conservative supporters and scorn from secular critics. Legislation is currently pending in at least six states that would encourage public schools to offer elective courses on the Bible's historical and literary significance.
Backed by groups such as the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation, National Legal Foundation, and WallBuilders, the bills are meant to recognize that "the Bible is an integral part of our society and deserves a place in the classroom," according to North Dakota GOP state Rep. Aaron McWilliams. The president spoke out in favor of the push Monday, tweeting it was "great" to give students "the option of studying the Bible."
Supporters of the proposed courses stress that the courses are options that won't be forced on any student, and argue that students of all faiths should have an understanding of how biblical principles shaped the thinking of America's Founding Fathers. (Read more)
- Thank You, Lord, for President Trump's encouragement to have our children read and understand the Word of God in our public and private schools. We pray his influence will bring many people into Your Kingdom.

11. Tampa Counseling Ban Enjoined - Liberty Counsel
A federal magistrate judge issued a 38-page report and recommended that Liberty Counsel's preliminary injunction be granted against a Tampa ordinance which prohibits licensed counselors from providing talk therapy to minors seeking to reduce or eliminate unwanted same-sex attractions, behaviors, or identity. Liberty Counsel represents Robert Vazzo, LMFT, David Pickup, LMFT, New Hearts Outreach ministry, and their minor clients.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Amanda Sansone wrote in her detailed and well-reasoned Report and Recommendation that the Tampa Ordinance 2017-47 should be enjoined because the plaintiffs demonstrated that the law violates each and every test of the First Amendment. The plaintiffs demonstrated that the ordinance is unconstitutional because it is (1) a content restriction that is not narrowly tailored; (2) a viewpoint discrimination; (3) unconstitutionally overbroad; (4) a prior restraint; and (5) unconstitutionally vague.

Prophetic war drums of Iran against Israel
The US intent to pull out of Syria has changed the political dynamics in the Middle East. There are several prophetic aspects in play. With Syria being a vassal state of Iran, two named end time agents are under the influence of events that impact nearby Israel. Add in Turkey, who wishes to emerge as the Islamic leader in the Middle East, and we have yet another player in end time prophecy. Russia is also a power broker as an ally with Iran, Syria and Turkey. Agents of each-Hamas, Hezbollah, and to whatever extent it remains, ISIS-are anti-Israel terrorist groups also adding to the mix. Now, Iran is beginning to rattle the swords of war. We now have modern nations aligning with those of ancient prophecy.
According to ASHARQ Al-AWSAT, an Arab world news site, Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri announced Sunday that Iran will change its military strategy to "offensive" from "defensive" to defend its national interests. This means that Iran will act offensively to defend Syria against Israel using such things as preemptive strikes and other military actions that Iran regards as a threat. This offensive strategy also could apply to Turkey, if that country moves against the Kurds in what is now a "safe zone" in Syrian territory. The stirrings here are made very interesting by the Isaiah 17:1 prophecy that "Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."
The Times of Israel adds another piece to the end time puzzle being assembled before our very eyes, reporting, "The deputy head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Monday that Tehran's strategy was to eventually wipe Israel off the "global political map." Asked by a reporter in Tehran about Israeli threats to strike Iranian forces deployed in Syria, Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami was quoted by Iranian news outlets as saying, "Our strategy is to erase Israel from the global political map. And it seems that, considering the evil that Israel is doing, it is bringing itself closer to that . . . We announce that if Israel does anything to start a new war, it will obviously be the war that will end with its elimination, and the occupied territories will be returned. The Israelis will not have even a cemetery in Palestine to bury their own corpses.""
We know that Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38 (which says Gog of Magog (in Turkey) will lead a coalition of forces against Israel "in that day") are end time prophecies by the context of the preceding chapters and those after them. There are many details that must fall in place, not the least of which the Beast (Gog/Assyrian/antichrist) will be revealed before the Day of the Lord occurs. Notwithstanding, this situation in Syria is progressing the dynamics of prophecy and bears watching. We are so caught up with the politics in the United States, that we may be missing key elements of these end time prophecies falling into place. Christ enumerates the chronological order of the end times in Matthew 24. He said there will be wars and rumors of wars. We are not there yet, but the prophetic war drums are sounding in the distance.
FRC Message to Speaker Pelosi
Tell Speaker Pelosi to Stop the Assault on America's Christian Heritage.
News recently broke that the new Democrat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives attempted to remove "so help you God" from the oath witnesses take at the beginning of Congressional testimony. The House Committee on Natural Resources was working on their committee rules for the new 116th Congress, and had removed "so help you God" from the oath, so that it reads: "Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" No reference to God or a higher power. After public outrage, the Committee chairman reversed course and allowed "so help you God" to stay.
Despite being fixed, this should never have been contemplated. You may recall that during the 2012 Democrat Platform Committee, the DNC added "God" back into the platform during the convention only to be booed. It may not be popular to the Democrat delegates, but at least it was added back in. The new Democrat controlled Congress wasted no time in showing the Left's distain for God and for America's Christian heritage. Therefore, we must not waste any time in responding to their assault and letting them know efforts like this to undermine America's Christian heritage will not be tolerated by the American people.
Please sign this petition to affirm the importance of keeping God in our public life.

'Thousands' Attend Funeral of Air Force Veteran With No Family
Over the weekend, a Texas cemetery asked the public to attend the funeral of an Air Force veteran because it appeared that no one was expected to attend.
The call went out when the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery said it could not locate the man's family and did not want him to be buried alone, according to Fox News. The story went viral on social media, with many including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and CNN host Jake Tapper calling attention to it and asking people to attend the funeral.
A country where people do this for someone they don't know is a great country. (Restoring Liberty) Read more.

How Team India put Pakistan on thin ice in the battle for the World Team Championship after defeating Bangladesh cleanly
On Day 3 in Dhaka, Bangladesh continued where they left off as Mehidy Hasan Miraz completed an impressive five-wicket effort by returning the lethal Rishabh Pant and the strategically placed Axar Patel. India was left completely in the dark after going seven down for only 74 runs. While seeing the happenings of the Mirpur Test from a few distances to the east, the Pakistani squad, led by Babar Azam, was preparing to celebrate. R Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer, however, had other plans. India set up a counterpunching partnership that baffled Bangladesh as they eventually managed a three-wicket triumph. Pakistan's prospects of making it to the World Test Championship final are very tenuous as a result of India's win at Mirpur, which gave them a clean sweep of Bangladesh.
Pakistan had a decent chance to get to the WTC final when their series against England began earlier this month at home. However, Pakistan only earned 38.89% PCT after a humiliating defeat—the first of its kind on home soil.
Pakistan will now play New Zealand at home in a two-match series. If Pakistan can shut out the Kane Williamson-led team, they would finish second overall in the 2021/23 WTC cycle with a 47.62% mark, ahead of India.
In the fourth innings of a Test match, Iyer and Ashwin's unbroken 71-run partnership for the eighth wicket, India's second-highest ever, improved their chances of winning the WTC final while making things more difficult for Pakistan.
Pakistan would also want to see India, which is now in second place with a PCT of 58.93%, lose the Border-Gavaskar series at home in an unexpected manner the following month. India's PCT would be 45.83% if the outcome was 0–4. Pakistan also needs Australia to win the current series against South Africa, New Zealand to sweep Sri Lanka in March, and West Indies to win one of their two Test matches against the Proteas and draw the other.

If you've never heard of the Black and Decker Alligator lopper my only question is: Where have you been? When I stumbled upon this tool I have to be honest, I was somewhat in awe of it. Why? Because this tool is exceptional at what it does is fill a need that consumers yearn for – an easier way to cut wood, and in this case, it safely cuts wood under 4 inches.
In fact, the Black and Decker Alligator lopper is so good that you don't need a chainsaw if your yard work doesn't require cutting wood any larger than 4 inches. Some customers claim that it can cut wood up to 5 inches in diameter. Even better. Manufacturers are typically conservative when it comes to their recommendations, and in this case, to your advantage.
It's far too common for people to think that a chainsaw is the only tool available for cutting branches, logs, twigs, vines or even small trees. But lets face it, chainsaws can be very intimidating, especially if you're a first time user. Chainsaws are highly effective and useful for cutting wood but they do require a certain degree of skill; forcing you to learn the nuances of chainsaw operation and have knowledge of proper safety procedures.
Another big advantage of the Black and Decker Alligator lopper is the fact that it's safer to use than a chainsaw due to its advanced design. See the video in this article to see how it works and you'll quickly understand why. Plus it's much lighter than a chainsaw.
I certainly wouldn't recommend a chainsaw for everyone and in all honesty, in some cases they're completely unnecessary and would be considered overkill. They are a dangerous tool especially for people who treat them like any other power tool. For people who aren't comfortable using a chainsaw there are alternatives and I'm here to introduce you to a great one: the Black and Decker Alligator lopper.
So, if you're someone who needs to do some light cleanup work around your home, which might include: cutting branches (limbing) around your yard, cutting small logs or even felling a very small tree, you're in luck. Yup, Black and Decker has come up with a fantastic tool to help you to tackle these projects for cutting wood up to 4″ in diameter, and even slightly larger. Perhaps closer to 5″ according to customers.
The tool we're spotlighting here is the Black and Decker Alligator lopper. There are three models for you to choose from; which you can see in the comparison chart included in this article.
Lately, I've been forcing myself to make decisions quicker by settling on the first choice that satisfies my criteria, otherwise known as "satisficing." whether this is for a product or deciding on where to go eat lunch, the principle still applies. Thankfully, there are only three choices here and once you understand the differences I think you'll be able to make a quick decision.
You can see the electric Black and Decker Alligator Lopper (LP1000) in action by watching the video below. I can write about the Black and Decker Alligator all day but it's one of those tools that you have to see in action to really understand it and then determine if it's the right tool for you. Watch the video below of the Black and Decker Alligator in action.
So, what do you think of the Black and Decker Alligator in action? I'm genuinely impressed or I wouldn't be spending the time to write this article.
Patented clamping jaws grab and cut limbs, logs and brush safely in one easy motion.
Generally, all three of these models are the same tool with the main difference being in the power source: Electric vs Lithium Ion vs NiCad (Nickel-cadmium) but there are a few other differences that I want to point out here.
The Black and Decker Alligator (LLP120B) does not come with a battery or charger so you need to buy both of these items separately. Yes, you read that correctly. Obviously if you buy this model then you need to purchase the battery and charger as well. If you forget to buy the battery and charger, well, then you'll have an expensive pair of scissors to play with.
The advantage of the Black and Decker Alligator lopper (LLP120B) over the other two models is the Lithium-ion batteries it's built upon offers a longer overall lifespan than NiCad (Nickel-cadmium) batteries, which is what the Black and Decker Alligator lopper (NLP1800 uses. NiCad are older type batteries. The Li-ion (Lithium-ion) retains its charge 5x longer than similar 18V NiCad batteries, and you obviously don't have to worry about an extension cord, which is what the Alligator LP1000 has. The greatest advantage of Li-ion batteries is they recharge quickly.
If you want to learn more about the different rechargeable battery types read the first section of the Battery Chainsaw Guide.
An excellent alternative for people who don't like using a chainsaw.
Other benefits are that you'll get approximately 150 cuts of 1-1/2-inch branches per charge – according to Black and Decker. As you know, sometimes these estimates are generous so I'd be a little skeptical about those figures. Also, the Li-ion battery weighs about 50 percent less than the NiCad battery.
So, in summary, it's basically lighter, will cut longer on a charge, be quicker to recharge and will have a longer lifespan. If you only plan on using the Black and Decker Alligator occasionally then these stats don't matter much. In that case, save your money and buy the cheaper Black and Decker Alligator lopper (NLP1800) which comes with the battery and charger.
What's included in the box? The Black and Decker Alligator lopper LLP120B, a wrench; bar and chain and oil bottle.
You might also want to consider buying the longer lasting battery since it lasts twice as long as the LBXR20. If you plan on using this tool on a consistent basis then I would consider buying an extra battery: LB2X4020.
If you're like me, I hate when my batteries die on me. I went on a trip to Kauai recently and brought three batteries for my camera – and I'm glad I did. Often I'd be out for the full day, usually going for a hike then ending up at the beach for some boogie boarding. By the time I arrived back at the hotel I was on my third battery. I wouldn't have been too happy if I ran out of battery power when I was out exploring the island. The point is that batteries never last as long as you need them to. Again, it depends on how you plan to use the Black and Decker Alligator lopper.
The Black & Decker NLP1800 is identical to the other models except for the fact it uses the inferior NiCad battery and it's heavier than the other versions. But it is cheaper and it comes with a battery and charger, which the Lithium-ion (Li-ion) LLP120B version does not.
This tool is such a great tool for cutting limbs and logs that I would expect that more people would buy one if they were aware that it's the ideal alternative to chainsaws. It's also the reason I wanted to spotlight this product for people who weren't aware of it.
If you plan on using this for any reasonable length of time then I definitely recommend getting an extra battery because this tool requires a lot of power, as you can imagine. Cutting through wood requires quite a bit of power so don't expect the batteries to last as long as you want. If you're only doing small jobs now and again then the battery that comes with it should be just fine for you.
Black & Decker LP1000 : It's electric so need to worry about batteries.
The Black & Decker Alligator lopper LP1000 is the corded version of the tool and also has the most reviews on Amazon with over 680 reviews at 4.7 out of 5 stars. That's very impressive. What I'm trying to say is that customers who actually purchased this saw absolutely love it so there's nothing more that I can really add to that. True validation comes from customers who use the device on a regular basis.
If you don't mind dealing with an extension cord and you need to do a lot of cutting then this is certainly the model to buy. You can use this model all day long without ever having to worry about when the battery will die on you, which is makes yard work more pleasant and less stressful. If you don't already have one, don't forget to buy the right extension cord, and I've created a guide that goes into detail on how to decide: Extension Cord Buying Guide.
There you have it. Three great versions of the same Black and Decker Alligator. Think about what you plan on doing with this tool and how much you'll actually need to use it. Obviously your budget matters as well, and will factor into the model that's right for you pocketbook.
If you need to do a lot of cutting then the LP1000 is definitely the model for you. If you only have a need for the lopper intermittently then the NLP1800 (NiCad) will suffice. But if you're like me and want the versatility and freedom to move around then I'd personally buy the LLP120B (Li-ion) for its longer lasting battery, fast charging, and lightweight.
Honestly, the Black and Decker Alligator lopper is a fantastic tool because for a certain percentage of homeowners, it completely eliminates the need for a chainsaw, and instead, allows people to simply cut wood under 4″ without any fuss. The Black and Decker Alligator is a relatively safe tool that anybody can use.
Don't forget to buy an extra battery! I'm confident the extra money you spend on it will pay you back in reduced frustration and greater productivity.
If you're not sure if the Black and Decker Alligator Lopper is right for you, I suggest you read our other guides to determine what type of chainsaw you need. Start with our buying guide to understand the basics.

Jay Worthy and Sean House continue to be a force to be reckoned with as the duo Lndn Drgs, and now they're enlisting Curren$y to further solidify their spot in the music game. The pair drop off their new "Hop Out" remix, which features a new verse from the New Orleans rapper.
Curren$y flaunts his smooth cadence over the original instrumental, produced by Sean House. Spitta delivers rhymes about driving around in a fancy car, as well as loose women.
Jay Worthy spoke to XXL about the new record, revealing that the inspiration came from the "Old Range" spitter's love for the original song.
He also revealed why the group decided to choose Curren$y for the remix over any other artist.
Take a listen to Lndn Drgs' remix of "Hop Out" featuring Curren$y in the stream below.

BURRILLVILLE – Burrillville students had a higher dropout rate and lower rate of college attendance in recent years than the statewide average, and their math and reading skills also fell behind their peers in Rhode Island at several grade levels.
The data on how Burrillville measures up on education comes from the 2018 Rhode Island Kids Count Factbook, produced by a policy organization that publishes statewide indicators of childhood well-being annually. The nearly 200-page data book lays out information on adolescent poverty and health, as well as parental contributors such as the age of the mother, or incarceration of a caregiver, using the most recent figures available.
In many categories, Burrillville households with children measured up as average, or slightly better than average than the average, when compared with other communities across Rhode Island.
The Factbook estimated that between 2012 and 2015, 15.1 percent of children in Burrillville below the age of 18 were living below the poverty level, up from 6 percent in the year 2000. But the data on children statewide was even more dire, with 19.4 percent living below income standards.
The town showed a relatively low percent of reported incidents of child abuse and neglect when compared with other communities. There were 27 investigations of abuse and neglect in Burrillville in 2017, and indications that 6.4 of every 1,000 children in town were victims, a figure that jumps to 14.6 when examined across Rhode Island.
Thirty Burrillville children had incarcerated parents in 2017, or 8.4 of every thousand below the age of 18. In Rhode Island, 12.7 of every thousand kids had an incarcerated parent during the same year.
Of the children born to Burrillville parents between 2012 and 2016, 9.5 percent were preterm, slightly above the state average of 9 percent. Six percent had a low birthweight, a figure that jumps to 7.5 percent of babies statewide.
There were 27 births to teen girls, ages 15-19, in Burrillville during those same years, 11.2 out of every thousand, while statewide 15 out of every thousand kids were born to young mothers.
But many indicators of success in education showed Burrillville lagging behind.
Between 2012 and 2016, only 33 percent of mothers of children under the age of 18 in Burrillville had a bachelor's degree or above, compared to the state average of 35 percent.
Burrillville schools had an 8 percent dropout rate in 2017, above the statewide average of 7 percent.
85 percent of Burrillville middle school and high school students said they planned to attend college in 2017, while 87 percent of Rhode Island students indicated they planned to attend.
The number of 2016 graduates who enrolled in college within 6 months was 56 percent in Burrillville, and 59 percent across the state.
In 2017, 19 percent of Burrillville students in grades 3 through 7 met expectations in math, while 27 percent of students did so across the state in the same grade levels.
Only 23 percent of Burrillville students in third grade were meeting reading skill expectations between 2015 and 2017, while 40 percent were statewide. The town's figure was on par with the state's "core cities" of Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence and Woonsocket, where other factors such as poverty and crime were believed to have played a much larger role. By grade 7, however, Burrillville students had caught up – at least in reading – with 41 percent meeting expectations compared to the statewide average of 40 percent.
The data shows that Burrillville continues to be one of the less diverse communities in Rhode Island, with 92 percent of students enrolled in public school in 2017 identifying as "white," while the statewide average was only 58 percent. Less than 1 percent of Burrillville students were English language learners, while 8 percent were learning English statewide.
The median income of for a family with a child under the age of 18 fell from $79,407 in Burrillville in 1999, to $75,181 in 2012-2016, a decreasing trend seen through much of Rhode Island.
Public schools identified 37 homeless children in Burrillville during the 2016/2017 school year.
There were 46 temporary disability claims due to childbirth in Burrillville in 2017, and 88 claims for temporary caregivers.
44 children in town were born to single mothers in 2017.
There were five assault and weapons offense among Burrillville juveniles in 2016 and 570 total across the state.
Nine Burrillville kids were in the custody of Rhode Island Training School in 2017.
50 Burrillville children ages 3-5 received special education services in 2017, 11 percent of the total population.
During the 2016/2017 school year, 26 Burrillville students received in-school suspension, and 160 received out-of-school suspension – 8 disciplinary actions for every 100 students, below the state average of 14 per 100.

Harvard-Allston Task Force Raises Concerns About Community Benefits Conversation
Allston residents question time allotted for discussion of community benefits package
By Madeline R. Conway, Crimson Staff Writer
Members of the Harvard-Allston Task Force voiced concern at their meeting Monday evening that they are being given too little time to discuss the long-ranging impact of the community benefits package to be included as part of Harvard's new Institutional Master Plan for Allston development.
The University hopes to file the nine-building plan with the Boston city government in July and receive approval in the fall. Harvard and city officials say that the community benefits section of the plan, which may lay out proposals for services ranging from educational programming to transportation improvements, will be shaped in part by input from task force members.
Gerald Autler, senior project manager at the Boston Redevelopment Authority, said on Monday that the task force would have a 60-day period to provide feedback on the master plan. But task force member and Allston resident Bruce E. Houghton railed against Harvard and the BRA for expecting the task force to identify the benefits they want included in the plan in what he described as an unreasonably short period of time.
"What is expected of this community and what's being placed on it...is inappropriate and impossible," Houghton said. "What's truly inappropriate is the fact that there's an expectation on behalf of BRA that this community should put into place in four months a community benefit package that might last as long as 10 years."
The meeting had been expected to focus on educational community benefits such as the Harvard Allston Education Portal, which provides mentoring programs, a Harvard faculty speaker series, and other educational services. Houghton, however, requested to bypass the items on the agenda in favor of a meeting-long discussion of the master plan. He argued that although the Ed Portal is a good addition to Allston, a discussion limited to educational programming misses the bigger picture.
"We're starting from the bottom and trying to figure out a community benefits package, which is going to impact this community for a decade," Houghton said. "And this is not the way to go about it."
Although task force chair and Allston resident Ray V. Mellone opted not to bypass the agenda, roughly the first 30 minutes of the meeting were devoted to Houghton's concerns, which were echoed by several other task force members.
"These are the questions that are going to define the neighborhood for the next 10 years, and I think it merits some discussion when we're not being rushed through to hear a presentation by the University or someone else," task force member and Allston resident Harry E. Mattison said.
Autler said he would be open to holding another meeting to discuss the task force members' concerns. The task force is tentatively scheduled to preview the master plan at its next meeting on July 1.
Following the discussion of the master plan, Robert A. Lue, the faculty director of the Ed Portal, gave a presentation that included discussion of HarvardX, Harvard's branch of the online learning venture edX. Lue, who is also a biology professor of practice, asked for the task force and residents' thoughts on expanding the role of technology at the Ed Portal. Acknowledging that not all Allston residents know how to use computers, Lue said he hopes the Ed Portal could encourage and teach those residents to "plug in" with its programming.
Several residents responded positively to Lue's ideas. Still, task force member and Allston resident Brent C. Whelan '73 questioned the feasibility and cost of translating those ideas into practice. For his part, Houghton challenged the relevance of the presentation altogether to the task force's role in shaping the master plan—something he said that he did not entirely understand.
Kairos Shen, chief planner of the BRA, said that the task force's role in the community benefits conversation is to consider, help prioritize, and provide feedback on potential services. But with the future needs of the community still unclear, Mattison questioned how the task force could prioritize benefits that could be in place years from now.
"How on earth can we...say...that bridging the digital divide is more or less important than day care and early childhood education or job re-training?" Mattison said. "We're not going to try to micromanage knowing eight years from now what the demand for English as a second language is going to be. Because who knows what this community is going to be like in eight years?"

Pacific Division Preview: San Jose Sharks early Stanley Cup favorites with Erik Karlsson in the mix
San Jose made a huge summer splash by acquiring the superstar defenseman from Ottawa.

As we gear up for the regular season, we'll take a look at Vegas' seven Pacific Division opponents to examine how they fared in 2017-18, what moves they've made in the offseason and what their lineups may look like to start the 2018-19 season. The Golden Knights have a full season and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final under their belts, so no one will be taking them lightly in Year 2. Here's a look at the San Jose Sharks.
Expectations are extremely high for the San Jose Sharks in 2018-19 after an incredibly productive offseason. The Sharks added one of the most dominant players in the NHL to an already-impressive roster, and the team's blue line will be lethal. With the return of Joe Thornton, who missed all of last year's postseason, the Sharks are poised for a big year.
Being two years removed from a Stanley Cup Final appearance, San Jose was eager to get back in the swing of things last season but would have to do so without long-time winger Patrick Marleau, who signed with Toronto last summer.
Brent Burns led the team in scoring with 12 goals and 67 points. Though Joe Pavelski finished second on the team with 66 points, it was a down year for the American forward. Timo Meier put together an impressive campaign as he set career highs in goals (21), assists (15) and points (36), though it was Logan Couture who led the way with 34 goals and was the team's most valuable player at the end of the day.
Both Martin Jones and backup Aaron Dell posted comparable numbers during the regular season, making the duo a solid tandem in net. Jones finished the season 30-22-6 with a 2.55 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and four shutouts, while Dell managed a 15-5-4 record with a 2.64 goals-against average, .914 save percentage and two shutouts.
An injury to Joe Thornton in late January put some strain on the team, but San Jose clinched a playoff berth with 100 points.
The Sharks made it to the second round before running into the Golden Knights, who eliminated them in six games. Though it wasn't the end they were hoping for, it's hard to criticize the Sharks' performance last season.
San Jose made a big splash at the trade deadline by acquiring winger Evander Kane, who found immediate success with his new team. He scored nine goals and 14 points in 17 games, notching the first hat trick of his career with a four-goal game against Calgary in mid-March.
He added four goals and five points in nine postseason tilts, four of which came in the Sharks' first-round series against the Ducks, which resulted in a four-game sweep. Jones was at the top of his game in that series, giving up only four goals and coming out of the first round with a 1.00 goals-against average, .970 save percentage and one shutout. However, he struggled against Vegas; he finished the playoffs 6-4 with a 2.26 goals-against average, .928 save percentage and two shutouts.
Couture led the team in postseason scoring with four goals and 12 points in 10 games.
Offseason moves
General manager Doug Wilson has had himself an exceptional offseason and has shown that he is not afraid to make big and bold moves to get his team to the next level.
First, he acquired winger Mike Hoffman from Ottawa, which allowed him to unload Mikkel Boedker and his $4 million cap hit; from there, he flipped Hoffman, who was at the center of a cyberbullying investigation involving Erik Karlsson and his wife, to Florida. In the end, Wilson got rid of Boedker's contract and also picked up four draft picks and defenseman Cory Donaghey. This gave the team extensive cap space with which to work, and Wilson proceeded to go after the best of the best.
He met with Ilya Kovalchuk and later got one of six meetings with free agent John Tavares, though the meeting proved to be unsuccessful as the Sharks couldn't quite compete with a childhood dream to play for the Maple Leafs. However, the fact that San Jose was seemingly all-in by seeking a meeting with Tavares despite having many high salaries in the lineup already shows that the Sharks were ready to take the next step. Though he failed to land either player, Wilson was not deterred.
In fact, he went on to make arguably the biggest move of the offseason by acquiring Karlsson from the Senators. Wilson pulled off a brilliant trade as he took advantage of Ottawa's circumstances, and he was able to land one of the most dominant players in the NHL without parting with much at all.
Specifically, the blockbuster trade saw the Sharks ship forward Chris Tierney, defenseman Dylan DeMelo, prospects Josh Norris and Rudolfs Balcers as well as a conditional 2020 first-round pick and conditional 2019 second-round pick to Ottawa in exchange for Karlsson and prospect Francis Perron. Though Tierney was coming off a career season, giving up a bottom-six forward and a bottom-four defenseman is not exactly taking a huge risk.
This was an absolute steal. Not only did the Sharks land a massive superstar, but they did so without having to part with any of their young forwards, such as Joonas Donskoi, Tomas Hertl, Kevin Labanc, Meier, etc. Regardless of what Ottawa was thinking, Wilson pulled off a landmark transaction that should be considered one of the best (or worst) trades of the decade, depending on how you look at it. Though a long-term extension was not part of the deal, Karlsson will finish out his contract with an $8.5 million cap hit on the books. The Sharks are not complaining considering they now have Burns, Karlsson and Marc-Edouard Vlasic on the back end.
Also, the trade seemingly came out of nowhere, especially since teams like Tampa Bay, Vegas and Dallas were believed to be frontrunners in the Karlsson sweepstakes. However, when Ottawa balked at strong offers from other teams, Wilson stepped in and robbed general manager Pierre Dorian blind.
But the Sharks also handed out multiple long-term extensions to key players.
Kane signed a seven-year, $49 million extension that will keep him in teal through the 2024-25 season. There was some concern regarding potential personal issues with Kane, who had been the center of locker room controversy throughout his career, but the gamble paid off, and Kane is there to stay.
Hertl re-upped for four years and $22.5 million. The 24-year-old scored a career-high 22 goals last season and tied his career-best in points with 46. The former first-round pick is a key member of San Jose's top six and was rewarded for an especially strong postseason in which he scored six goals and nine points in 10 games.
Tierney and DeMelo were re-signed prior to being included in the Karlsson trade, and Thornton signed a one-year extension for $5 million. Jumbo Joe is nearing the end of his career but remains an elite playmaker and will center the Sharks' top line once again.
Couture also signed an eight-year, $64 million extension, which kicks in next season. He's coming off a 61-point season in which he set a career high in goals with 34; the 29-year-old is entering the final season of his current contract that carries an AAV of $6 million. He will be on the books at $8 million per year until 2026-27.
Additionally, the Sharks signed Finnish center Antti Suomela, who led Liiga (the top league in Finland) in scoring. He signed a one-year, entry-level contract after receiving interest from at least 12 NHL teams.
Notable departures include Jannik Hansen (signed in KHL), Ryan Carpenter (claimed off waivers by Vegas), Eric Fehr (not re-signed), Paul Martin (bought out) and Joel Ward (not re-signed).
Lineup preview
The Sharks are going to have two of the most talented offensive defensemen in the game on their blue line this season. The combination of Burns and Karlsson is sure to be electric, and it's going to make San Jose's power play mighty frightening.
Surprisingly, Kane isn't expected to skate on the top line to start the season as Meier will line up next to Thornton and Pavelski. It looks as though Kane could actually start the season on the third line. Pete DeBoer obviously wants to spread out his offense, and having Kane and Donskoi on the third line with Suomela could give San Jose three scoring lines. Couture will center the second line between Hertl and Labanc.
On the back end, Karlsson is slated to skate with Vlasic, which could be one of the more effective defensive pairs in the entire NHL.
Here's a look at what the Sharks' lines could look like this season:
Meier — Thornton — Pavelski
Hertl — Couture — Labanc
Kane — Suomela — Donskoi
Marcus Sorensen — Barclay Goodrow — Melker Karlsson
Vlasic — Karlsson
Joakim Ryan — Burns
Brenden Dillon — Justin Braun

Season opener: Oct. 3 vs. Anaheim
The Sharks are one of the top Stanley Cup contenders in the National Hockey League and will be early favorites to compete for the Pacific Division title. It may take a little time for the Burns-Karlsson madness to settle, but one thing is for sure: not taking penalties against the Sharks this season will be every team's top priority.
Having Kane on board for a full season could do wonders for San Jose's production, and the Sharks have plenty of depth and flexibility up front in case lines need to be shuffled. Thornton's health could be a concern down the stretch, and Pavelski has visibly slowed in the last few years. But there is plenty of veteran talent and youth on this team, and the defense and special teams could blow other teams out of the water.
Having Karlsson or Burns on the ice for possibly 55 minutes a night should make this Sharks team quite a formidable opponent. Therefore, it will be very surprising if San Jose doesn't finish near the top of the Western Conference, and they have as good a chance as anyone to make a very deep playoff run.

Webmasters may not be afraid of Lion but they do afraid of getting any kind of Penalty from Google. Every SEO Executive and Webmaster want that their website should be neat and clean. Also, a website should maintain a decent position in Google's eye (if not be able to achieve good one).
Holding the hands of God, we are far away from this Google's destructive gift (Google Penalty).
Google just wants that anyone who searched for anything, get the best of this Web World. And Google has several Algorithms which are so concerned with content that they can do anything, for the betterment of delivering accurate results.
Our deliberate team members of SEO services cross check every single (no matter big or small) point which is in favour of good SEO.
Every single second, Google is updating Search Algorithms, so that it can deliver the right thing on the searched phrase. But this fashion of penalizing websites, came into the existence after the Penguin Update rolled out in 2012.
Google Penalty is somewhere alike that in Penalty which we got in classrooms. As the teacher in those days used to give punishment on our mischievous activities, same thing the Google does. Whenever this almighty, detect any wrong thing on websites, he (I would like to call Google, he) feels proud in penalizing them.
It is of a rare kind. Only 1% of websites get affected of this kind penalty. Google Webmasters manually check for picked websites and hung them till death, if found guilty.
Hundreds of Google Algorithms are working in harmony so that they can give the best results to the searchers. Rank Brain, Panda, Penguin, Page Layover, and many others have their own different work. Like Rank Brain works to give the most updated results, Panda works on Poor quality content, and likewise, other algorithms work in their respective fields.
So, this kind of penalty comes when an algorithm detects anything wrong in the peaceful running of this Search World. And gives mass destruction to the affected websites.
Search Engine Optimization is so vast that keeping everything up to the mark can be a little daunting task. And sometimes, unluckily, we commit some mistakes that Google can't able to overlook. And we end-up with getting penalized by Google.
Below are the key points which could indicate that our website got penalized.
Try out the basic one: write "site:Your domain" in the search line and hit the search button. If it shows some results them you are all in safe hands. If not, you have to be a worry.
Sign-in into your Webmaster Search Console and check out for any message from the team.
Keep an eye on the traffic of your website. If any Algorithm update and if your traffic slashes down, it probably gets hurt (Penalized).
If your website hit by any penalty, you need not to worry at all. You might be hit the world again by fixing the issues. However, you need to pace up your work and handle the following things.
You may have compiled some good thing or information on your website and the good part is people loving it. But what's the good thing in that if your website is always slow, server frequently stays down or showing any kind of error.
Google will never consider your website a helpful one and this might end up with a hitting penalty.
Believe me, this is the main factor of getting any penalty. Because if you have not done a proper SEO of your website it will never make to Google's eye.
Proper interlinking, mobile-friendly, relevant keywords, and many more things state that a website is properly optimized for search engine. Google Penalize a website which is over-optimized (keyword stuffing). So follow the Google rule if you want to stay away from Google Penalty.
Nowadays, Google is not a bunch of codes, it has evolved into a human being. A human being which is smart enough to figure out a bad way. And some handful of backlinks might tell him that they are the wrong ways.
Use any tool (we prefer using ahref) and list out all the bad backlinks (which have low DR and no follow tag) and disavow them.
Google Panda Algorithm is all set to check the quality of the content. Like it should not be copied, it should be grammatically correct, and it should meet the demands of the searcher's query.
Any content found plagiarized or having low readability, it will not get into the SERPs. So, one must be very choosy in terms of content.
Google Penguin Algorithm takes care of this backlink part.
In today's date and time, it is not easy to fool Google. Earlier Webmasters used to increase rank in SERPs by using any kind of Black Hat SEO technique. But now, this practice is just frozen by Google Penguin. This algorithm keeps a track of all the backlinks that you are getting for your website.
And, in order to get the best results, we all have to follow it.
