Service Animals are more than just pets. They are working animals.
What are Service Animals? Most people are familiar with service animals such as guide dogs often seen with people who are sight impaired and hearing dogs for those who are hearing impaired. We may even know about service animals that help pull wheelchairs or retrieve various items. Yet, we often do not realize that there are many different types of service animals for many types of disabilities.
So, what is a service animal? A service animal is not just a pet or companion. "Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or herself" (USDOJ). As a result, the person must have a disability according to a medical professional and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which can be either a "physical or mental impairment" (USEEOC).
In addition, the animal must be trained to mitigate a person's disability by performing such tasks as retrieving, leading, pulling, providing balance and/or alerting. They should also be able to follow basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, here, down and/or follow, as well as exhibit good behavior in public places.
What are the rights and rules governing service animals?
What rights do service animals have? "Under the ADA, State and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go" (ADA 2010).
What kind of animals are they? For many years, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (section 36.104 of the title III regulation) did not limit service animals to dogs. Therefore, although a service animal has most often been a dog, it could also have been another species of animal such as a monkey, miniature horse or pig.
However, in September 2010, a final rule was published in the Federal Register to amend the service animal definition to be limited to dogs (with some exceptions for miniature horses). This new regulation went into effect in March 2011 (ADA Fact Sheet). Of course, a person may still keep a service animal such as a cat, pig or monkey for their personal use, but they are not covered under the same regulations nor granted public access.
There can be some confusion regarding service animals that assist those living with invisible disabilities caused by chronic illness, injury, pain, mental disorders or learning differences such as Autism. Nonetheless, for those debilitated by such symptoms as extreme pain, fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, balance issues and cognitive impairments, a service animal can make a vast difference in their quality of life. These service animals can perform helpful physical tasks such as picking things up off the floor, reminding a person to take their medicine, helping with balance and more.
The impact of service animals on the lives of those with physiological and psychological disorders.
Service animals are also changing lives by alerting their owner of a physiological response such as a seizure or potentially dangerous changes in blood sugar levels. You may have even read about Belle the beagle. She dialed 9-1-1 after her diabetic owner Kevin Weaver, had a seizure and collapsed. Kevin believes he would not be alive today if it were not for Belle (AP).
Former Captain Luis Carlos Montelvan and Tuesday. PTSD advocates.
For those living with various types of mental disorders, "The final rule also clarifies that individuals with mental disabilities who use service animals that are trained to perform a specific task are protected by the ADA" (ADA Fact Sheet).
In these cases, a service animal can alert the handler to an incipient manic episode, anxiety or panic attack, as well as alert the owner to aggressive driving. He can also assist the owner with confidence in leaving the home or exiting a situation that is causing a rise in anxiety, panic, distress and/or fear. What's more, he may help the handler with physical tasks such as reminding the person to take their medication, assisting them with finding their keys or the telephone, turning on lights to safety check a room and nudging them to wake them up (PSDS, tasks).
For those battling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD, service animals can also interrupt flashbacks and nightmares, reduce anxiety and stress and help regain self-assurance (such as Canines4Hope, Service Dogs for America, ).
The Psychiatric Service Dog Society advises anyone obtaining a service dog for their psychiatric disorder should get a letter from their doctor (PSDS FAQ). Their advice probably holds true for all service animal owners, especially those living with other types invisible disabilities.
Where are service animals allowed to go?
In all, a trained and qualified service dog (or miniature horse) used for reasons under the ADA guidelines is allowed access to public places. "Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed." In addition, "An individual with a service animal may not be segregated from other customers" (USDOJ).
How are service animals identified?
How does a proprietor know the handler's animal is a service animal? Although some service animals wear special harnesses or vests and some owners carry certifications, these things are not required. Therefore, "When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task" (ADA 2010).
Service Animals are not pets.
Many business owners have a "no pets" policy on their premises. Nonetheless, "A service animal is not a pet. The ADA requires you to modify your 'no pets' policy to allow the use of a service animal by a person with a disability. This does not mean you must abandon your 'no pets' policy altogether but simply that you must make an exception to your general rule for service animals" (USDOJ).
The ADA protects service animals and Often a business will state that their local county health department has told them that only a seeing eye or guide dog has to be admitted. However, "… [you are in violation of the ADA] if you refuse to admit any other type of service animal on the basis of local health department regulations or other state or local laws. The ADA provides greater protection for individuals with disabilities and so it takes priority over the local or state laws or regulations" (USDOJ).
What are the rules about service animals on public and private transportation?
Therapy and Emotional Support Animals have their roles too.
Of course, not all animals helping people are deemed service animals. For example: Therapy, social and facility animals are often utilized for visitations or are placed in homes or facilities "… to provide therapeutic benefits" (ADI). Yet, "Federal laws have no provisions for people to be accompanied by therapy animals in places of public accommodation that have 'no pets' policies. Therapy animals usually are not service animals" (PetPartner).
This includes emotional support animals that are not trained as service animals: "Dogs that are not trained to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a disability, including dogs that are used purely for emotional support, are not service animals" (ADA Fact Sheet).
How does the Fair Housing Act impact service animals and their owners?
Emotional Support Animals have rights under the Fair Housing Act.
practices, or services, when those accommodations may be necessary to afford a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy a place of residence." (Dunne).
Thus, in the light of housing issues with people with verifiable disabilities, "… [The Fair Housing Amendment Act and the ADA] protect the right of people with disabilities to keep emotional support animals, even when a landlord's policy explicitly prohibits pets…. In most housing complexes, so long as the tenant has a letter or prescription from an appropriate professional, such as a therapist or physician, and meets the definition of a person with a disability, he or she is entitled to a reasonable accommodation that would allow an emotional support animal in the apartment" (BCMHL).
All in all, when it comes to Service Animals, the bottom line is that "The rule defines 'service animal' as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability" (ADA Fact Sheet) and the service animal owner must have a legitimate disability. All the same, we are not attempting to interpret the law nor make assessments regarding who specifically qualifies and who does not. That must be done based on each individual case, circumstances and determined by medical professionals and/or legal authorities.

This office reports on significant creditor harassment/FDCPA cases from around the country; especially if they involve class actions and government-instituted actions alleging widespread misconduct against many consumers.
This blog entry involves two well-known debt buyers, which have a significant presence in New York: LVNV Funding and Resurgent Capital. Now, Maryland got fed up with their shoddy collection and affidavit practices.
The Maryland Commission of Financial Regulation announced on July 2, 2012 that the Maryland State Collection Agency Licensing Board had reached an agreement with debt collectors LVNV Funding, LLC and Resurgent Capital Services, LP to settle claims that the two companies had violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and various Maryland state collection laws by employing attorneys who filed false or misleading complaints and affidavits in state courts, misrepresented the amounts of the claims and engaged in collection activities without a license.
Under the terms of the agreement, LVNV and Resurgent will pay the state a fine of $1 million, and will dismiss 3,564 pending cases totaling $7.7 million in claims, but will be able to re-file them. The companies will also provide restitution for consumers in the form of partial credits in cases in which the companies obtained judgments, as well as in some cases that the companies settled with the consumer-defendants prior to judgment. The restitution will total approximately $3.8 million. In turn, the collection agency licenses of LVNV and Resurgent are to be fully reinstated.
LVNV is a consumer debt purchaser that acquires defaulted consumer debt in the US and internationally, while Resurgent is a collection agency that services the consumer debt owned by LVNV and other business entities. Both companies are part of the Sherman Financial Group LLC family of companies. Maryland's Licensing Board had issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist against LVNV and Resurgent on October 25, 2011 after the Licensing Board determined that the companies had acted in violation of various federal and state debt collection laws.
Both companies cooperated in reaching a settlement and denied any liability or wrongdoing. The voluntary agreement does not constitute any admission of liability on the part of either entity.
"As Marylanders recover from the recent recession, we are determined to ensure that our residents are treated fairly and afforded the protections that they deserve," said Mark A. Kaufman, Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation in a press release. "This settlement highlights the continuing efforts of our Collection Agency Licensing Board to oversee collections activities of all types, including those related to collections litigation."
For further information, see the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation's full press release.

Steady Population Growth Continues In Early 2015
Monday, September 28 2015
ABS figures released today show that Australia's population reached 23,714,272 persons at the end of the March 2015 quarter, 1.4 per cent larger than 12 months previously, said the Housing Industry Association (HIA).
"Today's figures show that nearly 316,000 people were added to Australia's population during the 12 months to March 2015," said HIA economist, Diwa Hopkins.
"This rate of growth, while slower than in previous quarters, is still historically strong."
"During the 1980s, 1990s and the first half of the 2000s, Australia's population grew very steadily, with around 225,000 persons added to the population per year throughout that period."
"Since that time, the number of people being added to the population has exceeded 300,000 persons per year, and this continued to be the case in the year to March 2015."
"This continued high-volume population increase underlines the importance of delivering a commensurate supply of new dwellings in an affordable way."
In the year to March 2015, the net overseas migration inflow of 173,054 persons accounted for more than half of the total growth in Australia's population, while natural increase accounted for the remaining 142,898 persons added to the population during this period.
Across the states and territories, population growth in the year to March 2015 was varied, with the two major population centres, Victoria and New South Wales, recording the strongest growth rates; 1.7 per cent and 1.4 per cent, respectively. Western Australia's population also grew at 1.4 per cent, while Queensland's population grew by 1.3 per cent, the Australian Capital Territory's by 1.3 per cent, South Australia's by 0.8 per cent, Tasmania's by 0.3 per cent and the Northern Territory's by 0.2 per cent.


broke this sucker off trying to load up the other night. it was welded on sometime between 1969 and last week. i am wanting to fab one that would bolt on instead. anyone ever make one? i sure dont want to buy a new one as i only have about a $100 in this boat.


The file begins with about 200 lines of background information that i don't need. Im trying to skip/ignore those 200 lines until a string is found. Once this string is found I want to be able to continue processing the rest of the text file.

As part of the School Building Improvement Bond, Cleveland High School received a new seismically strengthened roof and accessibility improvements.
View a photo album of the Cleveland roof nearing completion from mid-September
View a photo album of the Cleveland under construction from mid-July
Cleveland Roof Under Construction Slide Show
Roof level seismic improvements with re-roofing that will include new insulation, rooftop mechanical, roofing materials, roof ladders and new steel trusses in the gym penthouse.
Removal of the brick chimney.
Accessibility improvements include new drinking fountains, handrails, accessible ramps, door hardware and two new restrooms.
Construction began immediately following the end of school in June 2016. The project team encountered some unexpected issues during the re-roofing process that caused a part of the work to extend into October. However, the extended work did not negatively impact the staff and students and the school has been operating normally during the roof level construction.
Thank you voters for supporting this work.

text:
Kizil Arslan Utham Muzaffar al-Din fou atabeg ildegízida de l'Azerbaidjan (1186-1191), fill d'Ildegiz i successor del seu germà gran Muhammad Pahlawan. Va portar el títol de Malik al-Muazzam segons consta a una moneda. Es va casar amb la vídua del seu germà, Inandj Khatun, segons el costum del levirat.

Els mamelucs de Muhammad Pahlawan es van dividir entre els que donaven suport a Kizil Arslan Uthman i els que el donaven a la vídua, Inandj Khatun (coneguda per Katiba o Qatiba, que era filla d'Inandj Sunkur de Rayy) i als seus dos fills Kutlug Inandj i Amir-i- Amiran Umar que tenien petits feus al Djabal.

D'altra banda Kizil Arslan Uthman, a diferència del seu germà, va tractar amb poc respecte al sultà. Per fer front a les lluites civils, Kizil va cridar en ajut a Ubayd Allah ibn Yunus, el visir del califa abbàssida al-Nasir, el poder del qual havia augmentat. El sultà Toghrul ibn Arslanshah agafat en mig d'aquesta lluites va intentar fer respectar la seva autoritat i va fugir i durant quatre anys va resistir a l'atabeg, però després d'uns èxits inicials va fracassar finalment i fou capturat a Hamadan en 1190 i empresonat a l'Azerbaidjan.

L'atabeg va proclamar sultà oposat al nen Sandjar ibn Sulayman Shah (1187) però després del 1190, amb el suport del califa abbàssida, ell mateix es va proclamar sultà. Des de llavors les seves monedes només porten el nom del califa i no pas el del sultà. Va envair Shirvan el 1191, va arribar a Derbent i va subordinar tot el Shirvan a la seva autoritat, i aquell any va enderrocar Toghrul III, l'últim governant seljúcida. Fou assassinat segurament per instigació d'Inandj Khatun, el 1191, i fou proclamat atabeg Kutlug Inandj, però es va revoltar el germanastre d'aquest i nebot de Kizil Arslan Uthman, Nusrat al-Din Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad Pahlawan (1191-1210) que també es va proclamar atabeg.

One turning point in my life was when we got our dog. I had been horribly scared of dogs ever since I was one years old. A dog had barked in my face and because I was so little, I had freaked out. For years after, just seeing a dog three hundred feet away would scare me and I would start screaming. It was horrible and embarrassing, especially when we were in stores. So finally when I was seven years old we got a dog: a six month old puppy.
She was an adorable brindle Bouvier de Flanders. We named her Maya. After a few weeks I began to pet her and let her come to me. However, what melted my heart was when she licked me for the first time. I was sitting on the floor tying my shoes when she came up to me and licked my face. Although I was startled and scared at first, afterwards I realized I liked it.
Without Maya I would never have gotten over my horrendous fear of dogs. I am very grateful to her for that. She is now almost eight years old and a wonderful pet. Dogs are wonderful creatures and I don't think anybody should be scared of them. Maya helped me and I hope everyone who is scared of dogs is able to get over their fear like I did.

Weyerhaeuser Strike Continues as Stock Prices Stumble
Written by Sander Gusinow
Published in Farms and Forests
Stocks in the timber company fared poorly against competitors amid an ongoing worker strike.
Shares of Weyerhaeuser declined 1.84% on September 22. The company's stock underperformed when compared to its competitors, as West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd fell only 0.33%, Canfor Corp. declined 1.64%, and PotlatchDeltic fell 0.86%.
The news comes at a time of constraint for the lumber company. Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) union have been on strike since Sept. 12. The union is calling for better wages to keep up with inflation, maintaining current vacation days, and better health care and retirement benefits.
Last Friday, Weyerhaeuser employees and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers submitted an offer to Weyerhaeuser. Weyerhaeuser rejected it Thursday.
"I don't think we're that far off," Brandon Bryant, the President Directing Business Representative from IAMAW told KMTR. "This isn't like they're at 100 and we're at 2,000. We're actually pretty close. We're just really hopeful that Weyerhaeuser realizes that and comes to us with something that's reasonable."
Strikers affiliated with the Springfield-based International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge W246 (IAM) said one sticking point of negotiations is wage increases over the next four years, which would, according to the union, be 7% less than the insurance rate increase the company plans over the course of the contract, among other items of contention.
Graham Trainor, president of the Oregon AFL-CIO, expressed his support for the strikers. In a statement to Oregon Business, Trainor said the Oregon labor movement supports the Weyerhaeuser workers in their strike for additional pay and benefits.
"For years these workers have been called essential, and thanks to their labor, they kept Oregon's timber industry moving throughout the pandemic. Weyerhaeuser CEO Devin Stockfish earned lavish multimillion-dollar bonuses during the pandemic and last year was paid over $12.3 million. Meanwhile, the company insists workers must take pay cuts and cuts to benefits," says Trainor, who called Weyerhaeuser's actions "corporate greed."
"The hard work by employees has made Weyerhaeuser a highly profitable company, and to ask for cuts to workers' pay and benefits at this time is an insult. The Oregon labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity with striking Weyerhaeuser workers until management comes to the table with a reasonable offer that respects their value and contributions to the company's success."
Denise Merle, senior vice president and chief administration officer for Weyerhaeuser, responded to striking employees' demands with a statement saying the company's last offer was "very competitive" and that the company "fundamentally disagree[s]" with the way it has been portrayed to the public.
"The core of what we are offering includes competitive hourly wage increases over four years, no cuts to vacation schedules, and in fact improved vacation schedules for employees with fewer than 12 years of service," wrote Merle.
"We have offered to pay 97% of the health care premium, with employees responsible for only 3% to start.

This is my second copy. My first copy has been on the road, in a ring, for almost a year now. After getting elated journals about this book every month, I decided it was about time for me to read it again. I did not want to wait for it to return to me, I bought another copy. And read it a day, again.


After 2 year of TMF.com being a dedicated blog of our interests and work projects, with an eye toward an ever-evolving future, we are retiring from the blogging world. As new opportunities and challenges continue to present themselves, we're transitioning in 2012 and are uncertain what exactly that looks like. We just know we have lost interest in the whole "posting stuff we think is cool" thing. It's been fun while it's lasted. But new projects and situations now demand new responses. The Match Factory as an idea has always been outside the realm of our day jobs. We want it to continue to be. While we work with inspiring clients, we are artists to a certain degree, and have that urge to make art. In some form, that is what the Match Factory will continue to be. Initially, TMF.com will be our Big Cartel storefront. How it changes, well, that is still to be decided. In closing, we thank you for reading. And wish you farewell, good tidings this winter solstice, and happy travels. Until next time, Justin and Jason.
[caption id="attachment_608" align="alignnone" width="540" caption="Jason Hardy (left) and Justin Kemerling"] [/caption] The Match Factory idea began in 2002. We, Jason Hardy and Justin Kemerling, looked out on the landscape and saw the need to make things. This merged with our development as designers and continues to this day. The Match Factory became a place to put our attention, ideas and projects. Version 3, this blog site, is the beginning of our next steps. The content that will make up this site is centered around the things that inspire us. But more importantly, it is a place for documenting our projects and discussing how they fit into our view of the world. Our changing world of the last decade and the thinking crucial to our role as designers converges on many levels; personal, professional, cultural, political. It is manifested here. A pathway from what is now to what could be tomorrow, consider this a philosophical collection of what we think it means to be a designer. We both work the day to day as designers, but each have our own individual focus and intentions. Meet Jason Hardy. Goals: Story-telling, using art/design to contribute to our collective culture. Some Background: "What is there to say really. I guess I got into design because I like telling stories, and design felt like another way of doing that. As a younger man I studied journalism and intended to become a writer, though in the back of my mind something never felt quite right about that (though I still miss it). I graduated with a degree in Journalism and promptly found a job as a graphic designer. Go figure. Over the years I have found design to be both a way to make a living and a vehicle for personal expression, though those two things are sometimes mutually exclusive. I am very interested in the line between art and design (and whether or not that even matters). Design as visual poetry, or is that art? Is it art if you use a computer to make it? Who cares? Should I care? That kind of stuff. I am most attracted to making work that is evocative, emotionally resonate, entertaining, useful or just plain beautiful. At the end of the day I'm an average conflicted 32 year old American man who makes things to look at, play with, learn from or ignore. Though in the end, I hope that my work contributes to our collective culture. I am currently an associate creative director for a digital agency (Odopod) in San Francisco. I am also a freelance designer for The Criterion Collection, who are located in New York. That being said, I am a proud Nebraskan and believe in the greatness and beauty of the American Middle-West. Onward." More: www.jasonhardy.info Meet Justin Kemerling. Focus: Community Activist Design. Some Background: "I consider myself a collaborator, community activist and midwest. I turned 30 last year. I'm a citizen, advocate, progressive, cloudy optimist, writer, thinker, screenprinter, lover and designer. And I have a really hard time deciding what to do at any given moment. So design has worked out well for me so far, as I get to explore a lot of different areas of our society. The types of projects I really get into explore our visual culture and our ability to create a common goal for a greater good. The work I'm most proud of focuses on the specifics of a place; picking a side, and giving image, clarity and distinction to specific causes. Whether dealing with social justice, peace issues, sustainability and climate action, student organizing, or art culture, the thinking is to design positively and make it beautiful. Really though, consider me an extremely interested party in how America exists in the world, what it means to be a global citizen today and the responsibilities that come along with that. I'm just trying to make sense of it all just like everyone else. Through design and design thinking I see more and more opportunities for people to make a difference where we live and to be active participants in our changing culture." More: www.justinkemerling.com Moving forward, we both see our world changing in profound ways. Change itself is a process. Consider this part of our process of continuing to look out on the landscape and use design to participate in that change.

Politics and the state of the world were very much on our minds. Walking by the glass panels, with the sound of water pounding all around, we read the words of Dr. King. We were indeed moved in a setting that felt so very spiritual. So very hopeful. A "person-oriented society." It seems so simple. So obvious. Yet, at times so unattainable. Oh these days of ours and all of their -ISMs. But the way we can be torn down, these words set in granite build us up. And the legacy of a man causes us to stop, reflect on where we've been and dream about where we still need to go. - Justin This image was originally posted at Another Limited Rebellion.

I stayed up late, drank all the beers, thought about my old- man for no particular reason. Imagine the living room where'd he be sitting, he's still awake tonight too, wondering if anyone's wondering if he's tired, restless of rusting shackles. That naked street, outside the small town picture window, the summer air is pensive and lazy, of memories and unhealed wounds which don't escape the deep gravel, or the firehouse. Where all the engines are cold, alarms at half mast, all is on fire inside rather than rooftops or property, he knows his legs don't work anymore, there's nowhere left to run. Ache, on the canopy, airs twisted and silent ghosts, glance from a sitting expression reflection back against the panes of glass, all the hourglass beats poured from extinguished wishes, false dreams and patch-work cigarette burns that no cloth can carry. This carpet and wood, these walls and patient stares of my old-man linger, so we both stay up late, and his streets are alone and mine are meant, meant to imagine cured concrete lonesome, but I just can't think that hard, that hard at all – out Weston windows.
Where heart meets blood. - by Craig Turnwall I think a man's heart beats fast when he thinks about the hour before him, and the new, a moment when he feels bent, or lapse, night crept upon him like a bleeding wound, dream woke with faded light, night on the creep, mindless drum, anticipation of not finding a way again, to make morning, he wants heliocentric ideas, in a moon phased wanderlust, all that is dark is long, battered can be a cool breeze, men think with their souls wide open, sidewalk is tragic, death is tragic, pain is not a fearless endeavor, all scars remind of past achievements with regeneration, blood pumped toward goals coursed during walk and sleep, what wonderful conquests you entertain, adrenaline, this palpitation and open window.

This will go down as one of the worst seasons ever in Buffalo Sabres franchise history. Not only do they have the worst record, they have also scored the least amount of goals. With 150 goals scored, Buffalo set the NHL-low in the league's post-expansion era that began in 1967. The previous low was 151 scored by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1997-98. With the season coming to a close, the front-office have some decisions to make.
Sabres fans, if you had to guess how many points the leading scorer for Buffalo has, how many would you guess? If you guessed 50, then you have overbid. Forwards Cody Hodgson (44) and Tyler Ennis (43) finished neck to neck in the points race. Just think about this for a moment, Sidney Crosby has more assists (67) than these two players have points. In addition, there are also more than 100 players in the NHL who have more points than Hodgson and Ennis. Some names that might surprise you include Tyler Bozak (49), Mark Giodarno (47) and Nick Bonino (47).
Drew Stafford has been playing better as of late. Through the first 3 months of the season (40 games) Stafford had scored 4 goals and collected 9 assists. March was his best month of the season when he scored 5 goals and added 2 assists. If Stafford could play a full season and be productive like his March stats, then perhaps he is worth his salary of $4 million per year.
Ville Leino may be the worst signing in the history of signings. He scored his first goal of the season recently, sort of. The Sabres went into a shootout with the New Jersey Devils. Leino was the 9th shooter for Buffalo and he beat the Devils goalie. Here is the thing, shootout goals DO NOT count toward a players' goal total. In essence, he has 15 assists in 57 games and NO GOALS (That's roughly $300,000/per assist…..). Leino needs to be bought out as he is the highest paid forward and he can't put the puck in the net.
The Sabres have a great chance to get the #1 pick in this year's draft. Finishing with the worst record in the league has allowed them the best chance the NHL Draft Lottery. Buffalo should draft a high scoring forward, who can score goals, lots of them.


Cricket has many incomprehensible rules and, to the section of passionate fans of ODI Cricket and 20 over's (Twenty20), there are not many that are so hard to get your head around as the Duckworth-Lewis (D / L ) method. So what is the Duckworth-Lewis method?
Although cricket is a summer sport tends to be played in a lot of countries where summer does not necessarily mean it will be hot and sunny, and above all, free rain. Because Cricket can play anything more than 3-5 days (the deadline given before kickoff) little things like rain delays only add to the tension, fun and more often than not draw.
In One Day International and Twenty20, where games are played over one day, would be a distinct advantage if one side batted first, add a large number of runs, then the second side at bat had to score the winning runs with less over's.
Strangely enough, despite an international day has begun to gain popularity in the 1970s, there was a definite system in place to recalculate rain affected games until the method of D / L was used for the first in 1996/97.
Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis were the two mathematicians who devised the system that was eventually adopted by the International Cricket Council in 2001.
To start with both teams in an ODI must face twenty over's before the game is classified as a game. That means that a team could hit their entire 50 over's and the match was classified as void if the second team only manages to hit 19 over's and 5 balls (each about 6 balls be long except over's including variety and no ball -).
For a Twenty20 game, where each team faces 20 over's each (assuming 'additional' over's was not shot by additional deliveries that need to be overwhelmed by all and no-ball), the number of over's that must be addressed before the game is a real game is 5 over's each.
If the first team at bat does not complete its assigned number of acquisitions due to a rain delay then Method D / L is used to resolve a projected number of races that the team should have gotten if they had been able to complete all of its extensions.
Previous matches were analyzed showed that there was a correspondence in the games between the number of balls remaining on roll and the number of wickets in hand. Most wickets in hand, and balls that are rolled, one side more runs would probably be added before the game had reached a "natural" conclusion.
These statistics were converted at a rate that could apply to either increase the projected score, or cut score and off as required.
For example, a team may have completed 50 over's and the second team will be hit with a sudden downpour after hitting their first 20 over's. They have wickets in hand (and exceed the point where the Duckworth -Lewis method comes into play, which is often when the game is delayed for more than 30 minutes) as a new number of tracks necessary, and deliveries in, is calculated.
If play resumes, then stops again, the batting side will know how many runs must be at x number of over's so they can win the game, even if they have to come back on the field again. If a wicket falls, the number of runs needed to win increases in x number of over's.
If the team is bang on target and the rest of the game is washed, then it's a tie. If you are below the required number of runs when they go and play lost.
Does this Method Really Works and is Fair?
Statistically Duckworth -Lewis method is quite accurate compared to previous games ended, although many people would argue whether it is right.
There have been many games where the method of D / L has come into play and the second batting side have had the number of runs needed to gain reduced maybe 3 or 4, but the number of over's to get them to also have reduced by 2 or 3. That means (potentially) 12-18 runs less to enter.
Very often the balance in reducing the number of runs when compared to the small number of deliveries seems to be a bit unfair – depending on which team is supporting at the time, of course.
In Twenty20 where there is less over's and usually runs less marked, some of the amendments made by the Duckworth-Lewis method does not seem to make sense.
For example, in a World Cup match England had managed a creditable 191 runs for 5 wickets in their 20 overs, and then it started to rain after just 2.2 over's hunting the West Indies. By the time they had scored 30 without loss. The method of D / L and then set the West Indies a target of 60 runs in 6 over's, which they did with a delivery to spare.
There you have it, a brief look at what the Duckworth-Lewis method is and how it works.
Both teams have to complete at least 20 over's each in an ODI, or 5 over's each in a Twenty20 match that is a "real" game.
Method D / L scores adjusted up or down (over's only adjusted down) based on the number of wickets the team has on hand and the number they have left over's. The percentage used is based on historical data from other parties in similar positions in their games.
